DECLARATION

OASIS CRESCENT PROPERTY FUND PHILOSOPHY AND STRATEGY

The Oasis Crescent Property Fund is a well-diversified REIT invested in South African direct
property investments and high quality global listed REITS. The Fund invests in the best global
cities and the highest quality properties without the use of leverage. The Fund is focused on
meeting all tenant needs and maintaining world-class facilities.

This low-risk philosophy has kicked in despite the weak economic environment, weak property
fundamentals and high interest rates, with the Fund having delivered a total return to
unitholders of 6.6% over the past year relative to -2.7% for the SAPY Index and 8.1% per
annum over the past three years relative to -3.5% per annum for the SAPY Index.

1.   THE PERIOD IN BRIEF

The Fund enjoyed positive momentum with recycling into higher growth opportunities within
the South African direct property portfolio.

Upside resulted from additional offshore investment which will contribute to distributable
income going forward.

Distribution per unit is 52.2 cents per unit compared to 54.5 cent per unit in the prior period to
30 September 2018, a 4.2% decrease.

Net asset value per unit increased by 3.6% to 2 245 cents per unit, from 2 168 cents per unit
at 30 September 2018.

2.   KEY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue increased by 2.8% to R58.6 million, from R57.0 million in the prior corresponding
period.

Distributable income decreased by 0.3% to R33.0 million, from R33.1 million in the prior
corresponding period.

Distribution per share (“DPS”) decreased by 4.2% to 52.2 cents per unit, from 54.5 cents per
unit in the prior corresponding period.

Net asset value per unit (“NAVPU”) increased by 3.6% to 2 245 cents per unit, from 2 168
cents per unit in the prior corresponding period.

Headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) decreased by 40.2% to 100.3 cents per unit, from 167.8
cents per unit in the prior corresponding period.

Earnings per share (“EPS”) decreased by 39.7% to 99.7 cents per unit, from 165.2 cents per
unit in the prior corresponding period.

3.   DIVIDEND DECLARATION

Notice is hereby given that a distribution of 5,221.32081 cents (in aggregate), after non-
permissible income, for every 100 (one hundred) units so held, has been approved and
declared for the six-month period ended 30 September 2019, from income, to unitholders
recorded in the register of OCPF at close of business on Friday, 29 November 2019.
Unitholders may elect to receive the distribution in cash or to reinvest the distribution by the
purchase of new units at a rate of 2.32576 units at 2,245 cents per unit (in aggregate), for
every 100 (one hundred) units so held.

OCPF is a REIT, as defined in the Income Tax Act, as from 1 April 2013 and, accordingly, the
tax implications of the distribution have changed as from that date. The distribution will not be
exempt from income tax in terms of section 10(1)(k) of the Income Tax Act.

For South African tax residents, the distribution will be exempt from dividends tax in terms of
section 64F(1) of the Income Tax Act, provided that you, as unitholder, provide the transfer
secretary or your nominee, custodian or CSDP with confirmation of your tax residence status
in the prescribed form. If you do not provide the required residence status, they will have no
choice but to withhold dividends tax at a rate of 20%.

For non-resident unitholders, for South African tax purposes, the distribution received by a
non-resident unitholder from a REIT will be subject to dividend withholding tax at 20%, unless
the rate is reduced in terms of any applicable agreement, for the avoidance of double taxation
(“DTA”) between South Africa and the country of tax residence of the unitholder. Non-resident
unitholders that believe that a reduced rate of tax applies in respect of their applicable DTA
should contact the transfer secretaries or their nominee, custodian or CSDP for the prescribed
form to record the reduced rate of tax.

Where dividends tax is withheld at 20%:
•     the reinvestment ratio for non-resident unitholders will be 1.86061 units at 2,245 cents
      per unit, for every 100 (one hundred) units held on the record date; and
•     should such unitholders elect to receive the distribution in cash, they will receive
      4,117.05665 cents per 100 units held on the record date.

Kindly contact the transfer secretaries, or your nominee, custodian or CSDP for a copy of the
prescribed declaration form.

The Income Tax Act sections applicable to the distributions made are as follows:

•      Property income distribution from a REIT – section 10(1)(k) and section 64F(1)

Both resident and non-resident unitholders are encouraged to consult their professional tax
advisors with regard to their individual tax liability in this regard.

     units will be listed 3 business days after the last day to trade and that these new units can
     only be traded 3 business days after the last day to trade, due to the fact that settlement
     of the units will be 3 business days after the record date, which differs from the
     conventional one business day after the record date settlement process.

2.   Units may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 27 November
     2019 and Friday, 29 November 2019, both days inclusive.

3.   The above dates and times are subject to change. Any changes will be announced on
     SENS.

4.   All times quoted above are South African times.

5.   Dematerialised unitholders should provide their CSDP or broker with their election
     instructions by the cut-off time stipulated in terms of their custody agreement with such
     CSDP or broker.

6.   If no election is made, the distribution accrued to the unitholder will be used to purchase
     additional units.
