* South African dividends tax at the rate of 20 per cent will apply to cash non-PIDs paid by the Company, unless the beneficial
  owner of the dividend is exempt from dividends tax (e.g. if the beneficial owner is a South African company or a non-South
  African resident). Since no withholding tax is suffered in the UK on cash non-PIDs, no rebate can be claimed. The relevant
  regulated intermediary will therefore be required to deduct 20 per cent tax on all cash non-PIDs paid to persons who are
  not exempt from dividends tax in South Africa and pay this to the South African Revenue Service on the beneficial owner's
  behalf. The non-PID element payable to shareholders on the SA share register net of this 20 per cent dividends tax is
  3.89124 ZAR cents.

**Certain categories of UK shareholders may apply for exemption, in which case the PID element will be paid gross.

***A 5% rebate is reclaimable from the UK's HM Revenue & Customs, resulting in an effective UK withholding tax rate of
  15%. Therefore, an additional 5% South African withholding tax is to be deducted by the relevant regulated intermediary
  on all cash PIDs paid to persons who are not exempt from dividends tax in South Africa and paid to the South African
  Revenue Service on the beneficial owner's behalf. As a result, the initial withholding tax rate on cash PIDs for non-exempt
  South African shareholders will be 25%.

The cash dividend will be paid out of the Company's distributable profits.

The salient dates for payment of the cash dividend published in the announcement dated 25 October 2018, remain
unchanged.

As at the date of this announcement, the Company has 1 900 449 536 ordinary shares of 8 pence each in issue.

About RDI

RDI is a UK Real Estate Investment Trust (UK-REIT) committed to becoming the UK's leading income focused
REIT. The Company's income-led business model and strategic priorities are designed to offer shareholders
superior, sustainable and growing income returns, with a target growth in underlying earnings per share of 
3%-5% across the medium term.

Income sustainability is underpinned by a diversified portfolio and tenant base, with no overreliance on any one
sector or tenant, together with an efficient capital structure. The secure and growing income stream is 27.0%
indexed and has a WAULT of 7.0 years to first break (8.4 years to expiry). This is complemented by an average
debt maturity of 6.7 years of which over 95% of interest costs are either fixed or capped. The Company is focused
on all aspects impacting shareholder distributions and reports one of the lowest cost ratios in the industry whilst
maintaining a low cost of debt.

The Company owns properties independently valued at £1.6bn in the United Kingdom and Germany, Europe's
two largest, liquid and transparent property markets. RDI invests in assets with strong property fundamentals
spread across UK offices (including London serviced offices), UK logistics, UK shopping centres, UK retail
parks, UK hotels and German retail. RDI is well placed to take advantage of the increasing occupier requirement
for real estate owners to become high quality service providers, given its scalable operational platforms and nearly
a third of the portfolio invested in hotels and London serviced offices.

RDI holds a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange and a secondary listing on the JSE and is included
within the EPRA, GPR, JSE All Property and JSE Tradeable Property indices.
