RESULTS OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING


Shareholders are referred to the previous announcements released on SENS (the last of which was released on 18 January
2022) and to the circular issued to shareholders dated 17 December 2021 (the “circular”) relating to, inter alia, (i) the
proposed the termination of listing of EPP from the main board of the JSE and the official list of the LuxSE and the approval
of a delisting resolution in terms of paragraph 1.15(a) of the JSE Listings Requirements (the “delisting”), (ii) a general
offer by Redefine Properties Limited (“Redefine”) to, subject to conditions, acquire all EPP shares that it does not already
own (other than those held by I Group Consolidated Holdings Proprietary Limited and its subsidiaries (collectively “I
Group”) and any EPP shareholders who are unable to accept the Redefine offer) in exchange for Redefine shares at a swap
ratio of 2.70 Redefine shares per EPP share acquired, and (iii) the specific repurchase of 74 993 917 EPP shares held by the
I Group in exchange for shares in EPP Community Properties.

Shareholders are advised that, at the extraordinary general meeting of shareholders held on Friday, 21 January 2022, all of
the resolutions tabled thereat were passed by the requisite majority of EPP shareholders and accordingly the delisting and
associated transactions will, subject to the fulfilment or (where appropriate) waiver of outstanding conditions, be
implemented on the basis detailed in the circular.

Shareholders are advised that, at the general meeting of Redefine shareholders held on 20 January 2022, Redefine
shareholders approved the requisite resolution placing additional Redefine shares under the control of the Redefine board,
sufficient to enable Redefine to discharge the offer consideration due to any EPP shareholder that accepts the Redefine
offer.

Shareholders will be informed as to the status of fulfilment of the outstanding conditions to the delisting and the Redefine
offer in due course.
