                       Sirius completes acquisition of business park in Teningen

Sirius Real Estate, the leading operator of branded business parks providing conventional space and
flexible workspace in Germany, has completed the acquisition of a business park in Teningen, north
of Freiburg, for €6.5 million, including acquisition costs, reflecting an EPRA net initial yield of 8.3%. The
vendor is the Ascom Group, a Swiss healthcare solution provider. Notarised on 22 March 2019, the
acquisition has been funded from existing cash resources.

The business park is well located in the economically strong metropolitan region of Freiburg, which is
located in the Federal State of Baden Württemberg in the South West of Germany and in the vicinity
of Strasbourg (France) and Basel (Switzerland), with easy access to the A5 Hamburg – Basel motorway
and the national rail network.

The property provides lettable area of 20,000 sqm (40% warehouse/production space; 38% offices;
19% laboratory; and, 3% of other space) on a 43,000 sqm site. It is currently leased to seven tenants,
with occupancy at 88% and producing annual net operating income of €542,000. The weighted
average lease expiry is 1.6 years.

Tenants include Delta Energy Systems, a subsidiary of the international Delta Group, which provides
innovative, environmentally friendly and efficient energy solutions; the headquarters of FRAKO which
operates internationally in power factor correction, power quality and energy management; and
Conworx, a subsidiary of Siemens, which provides technical services in medical technology and
laboratory diagnostics.

Andrew Coombs, Chief Executive Officer of Sirius Real Estate, said: “This is our first investment in the
area around Freiburg which, while not within our primary target of Germany’s seven key cities, has
some very attractive characteristics particularly given its location close to the French and Swiss
borders.

“The asset has significant asset management potential, playing to the strengths of our integrated
business model and track record of achieving both efficiencies and maximising occupation. There is
also the potential to develop around 2,000 sqm of additional space from surplus land”.

NOTES TO EDITORS

About Sirius Real Estate

Sirius is a property company listed on the main market and premium segment of the London Stock
Exchange and the main board of the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. It is a leading operator of branded
business parks providing conventional space and flexible workspace in Germany. The Company's core
strategy is the acquisition of business parks at attractive yields, the integration of these business parks
into its network of sites under the Company's own name as well as offering a range of branded
products within those sites, and the reconfiguration and upgrade of existing and vacant space to
appeal to the local market, through intensive asset management and investment. The Company's
strategy aims to deliver attractive returns for shareholders by increasing rental income and improving
cost recoveries and capital values, as well as by enhancing those returns through financing its assets
on favourable terms. Once sites are mature and net income and values have been optimised, the
Company may take the opportunity to refinance the sites to release capital for investment in new sites
or consider the disposal of sites in order to recycle equity into assets which present greater
opportunity for the asset management skills of the Company's team.

On 1 March 2019, Sirius announced that, in a transaction anticipated to complete in June 2019, it had
formed a real estate investment joint venture with clients represented by AXA Investment Managers
- Real Assets in which AXA acting on behalf of its clients, will own a 65% interest and Sirius will own
the balance of 35%. The JV is called Titanium. The JV will initially be formed by AXA acquiring, on behalf
of its clients, from Sirius a 65% stake in five SPVs through which it currently owns two business parks
located in Berlin (Berlin Borsig and Berlin Tempelhof) and one in each of Mainz, Nurnberg and
Bayreuth. The business parks provide a combination of office, warehouse, industrial and storage
space. The implied property value of €168 million equates to a gross yield for the portfolio of 6.2%
and reflects a premium to the last reported book value as at 30 September 2018 which was
€141.1 million. Total cash commitment from AXA IM - Real Assets amounts to €43.9 million. The
transaction is expected to generate total cash proceeds of more than €70 million for Sirius after
refinancing and expected related costs.
