SALIENT DATES AND TIMES WITH REGARD TO AN ELECTION TO RECEIVE EITHER A CASH DIVIDEND OR A RETURN OF CAPITAL
Shareholders are referred to the condensed consolidated financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2019 released
on SENS and Euronext on 23 August 2019 (the "results announcement"), wherein it was stated that the board of
directors of NEPI Rockcastle had declared a distribution of 29.02 eurocents per share for the first half of 2019. The
results announcement stated further that shareholders would be afforded the opportunity to elect to receive the
distribution either in cash or as an issue of fully-paid shares (the "election") based on a ratio between the distribution
declared and the reference price, which would be calculated using a maximum 5% discount to the five-day volume-
weighted average traded price, less the distribution, of NEPI Rockcastle shares on the JSE.
Shareholders are advised that a circular to shareholders in this regard is in the process of being finalised, but in the
interim the following information is provided.
