ANNOUNCEMENT OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PRICE AND CONFIRMATION OF FINALISATION INFORMATION
Further to the declaration of a cash dividend of 60.11921 cents per share (the “cash dividend”) with
an election to reinvest the cash dividend in return for Redefine shares (the “share re-investment
alternative”), announced on SENS on 12 November 2021 (the “declaration announcement”),
Redefine shareholders are advised that the price per share, as determined on Tuesday, 23
November 2021, applicable to Redefine shareholders electing the share re-investment alternative
and recorded in the register on Friday, 3 December 2021 (the “record date”), is R4.35 per share
(the “reinvestment price”).
The reinvestment price is equal to a 4.16% discount to the to the ten-day weighted average traded
price (less the cash dividend accrued over the dividend cycle calculated on a daily basis) and a
3.00% discount to the closing spot price (less the cash dividend accrued over the dividend cycle
calculated on a daily basis) of Redefine shares on the JSE at 22 November 2021.
The ratio of the number of shares to which a shareholder is entitled pursuant to share re-investment
alternative is 13.80736 shares for every 100 shares held on the record date by South African
resident shareholders exempt from dividend tax and 11.04588 shares for every 100 shares held on
the record date by non-resident shareholders subject to dividend tax at 20%.
Where a shareholder’s entitlement to the shares in relation to the share re-investment alternative,
calculated with reference to the above share ratio, gives rise to an entitlement to a fraction of a new
share, such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number with the cash balance of the
dividend being retained by the shareholder.
Dividend withholding tax (“dividend tax”) implications
Dividend tax implications for South African resident shareholders
Dividends received from a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) are exempt from dividend tax in
the hands of South African resident shareholders provided that the shareholders have provided the
requisite declaration as to residence as detailed in paragraph 5 of the circular to Redefine
shareholders dated and posted on Friday, 12 November 2021 (the “circular”). South African
resident shareholders, who have submitted the requisite documentation and are exempt from
dividend tax, will accordingly receive a net dividend of 60.11921 cents per share.
Dividend tax implications for non-resident shareholders
Dividends received from a REIT by a non-resident shareholder will be subject to dividend 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 residence of the non-resident shareholder.
A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied upon if the
non-resident shareholder has provided the requisite documentation as detailed in paragraph 5 of
the circular. Non-resident shareholders who have submitted the requisite documentation and
assuming that a dividend tax rate of 20% is applicable, will accordingly receive a net dividend of
48.09537 cents per share.
Due to the fact that the cash dividend or share re-investment alternative may have tax implications
for resident and non-resident shareholders, shareholders are encouraged to consult their
professional advisors should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.
Illustrative example on the application of rounding and the impact of dividend tax

impact of dividend tax on shareholders has been illustrated by way of the example below:

Trading of Redefine shares
Shareholders are advised that, as per the published timetable, the last date to trade is Tuesday,
30 November 2021 and the shares will trade ex-dividend from Wednesday, 1 December 2021.
Shareholders electing the share re-investment alternative are alerted to the fact that the new shares
will be listed on LDT + 3 and that these new shares can only be traded on LDT + 3 being Friday, 3
December since settlement of the shares will be three days after the record date, being Wednesday,
8 December 2021, which differs from the conventional one day after record date settlement process.
Shareholders are reminded that the last day to elect to receive the share re-investment alternative
is 12:00 (South African time) on Friday, 3 December 2021. No action is required if you wish to
receive the cash dividend.
The salient dates, timetable and all other information relating to the dividend (including the tax
implications) and share re-investment alternative disclosed in the declaration announcement remain
unchanged.
