                          ("Sirius Real Estate" or the "Company")

                      €15.5 million Sale of Bremen Brinkman Business Park

Sirius Real Estate, the leading operator of branded business parks providing conventional space and
flexible workspace in Germany, is pleased to announce the completion of the sale of its Bremen
Brinkman business park for €15.5 million.

Bremen Brinkman is a non-core site as it is located on the north coast of Germany outside of Sirius’s
target regions. The buildings are also uniquely configured for tobacco manufacturing which due to the
costs and complexity involved has limited the potential for investment to reconfigure the space. The
asset is being sold in line with book value. At time of sale the asset generated net operating income
of €0.9m.

As at 31 March 2018 the site contained 48,700 sqm of vacant space which, following completion,
results in a positive impact on the Group’s overall occupancy level.

The site is debt-free, so the sale proceeds will be wholly reinvested into new sites in core locations
where there is greater value creation potential.

Andrew Coombs Chief Executive Officer of Sirius Real Estate, said: “Bremen Brinkman was one of
two non-core sites in our portfolio. Its unique structure made it overly expensive for us to reconfigure
and it was outside of our target regions. Consequently, disposing of this asset at book value means we
have unlocked €15.5 million of capital that can now be re-invested into our asset recycling programme
where we know we can create significant additional value in key markets.”

About Sirius Real Estate

Sirius is a property company listed on the main market and premium segment of the London Stock
Exchange and the main board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. It is a leading operator of branded
business parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany. The Company's core
strategy is the acquisition of business parks at attractive yields, the integration of these business parks
into its network of sites under the Company's own name as well as offering a range of branded
products within those sites, and the reconfiguration and upgrade of existing and vacant space to
appeal to the local market, through intensive asset management and investment. The Company's
strategy aims to deliver attractive returns for shareholders by increasing rental income and improving
cost recoveries and capital values, as well as by enhancing those returns through financing its assets
on favourable terms. Once sites are mature and net income and values have been optimised, the
Company may take the opportunity to refinance the sites to release capital for investment in new sites
or consider the disposal of sites in order to recycle equity into assets which present greater
opportunity for the asset management skills of the Company's team.
