BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Dipula is an internally managed, South Africa focused Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") that owns a
portfolio of retail, office, industrial and residential property assets throughout South Africa, with 
the majority of the portfolio located in Gauteng. Dipula's strategy is to own a defensive portfolio 
with a bias towards convenience, rural and township retail centres.

CAPITAL RESTRUCTURE
Shareholders are reminded that Dipula implemented a scheme of arrangement (the "Scheme") on 6 June
2022, repurchasing all of the Dipula A-shares in issue in consideration for the issue of 2.4 Dipula B-shares
for every Dipula A-share held. Dipula's issued share capital on 31 August 2023 consisted of 911 918 399
ordinary shares(1) (previously Dipula B-shares) compared to (i) 893 664 473 Dipula ordinary shares(2) on
31 August 2022; and (ii) 264 641 319 Dipula A-shares and 264 641 319 Dipula B-shares on 28 February
2022. Thus, the figures reported for this period may not be comparable to prior reporting periods.

Notes:
1. Net of treasury shares.
2. Net of treasury shares and appraisal rights shares in terms of the Scheme.

DIVIDEND RE-INVESTMENT PLAN
On 17 May 2023, Dipula declared a cash dividend of 25.84695 cents per share and shareholders were
presented with the option to re-invest the cash dividend in return for new ordinary B-shares. Shareholders
holding 250 861 411 Dipula shares or 28.07% of Dipula shares (prior to the election) elected to participate
in the re-investment option, resulting in the issue of 18 253 926 new B-shares. For accounting purposes,
weighted number of shares is to be adjusted as if the event occurred at the beginning of the earliest period
being presented. Thus, the figures reported for this period may not be comparable to prior reporting periods.

PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND
The board has approved, and notice is hereby given of a final gross dividend (dividend number 23) for the
period 1 March 2023 to 31 August 2023 of 25.41793 cents per ordinary share.
