POSTPONEMENT OF DIVIDEND AND WITHDRAWAL OF DISTRIBUTION GUIDANCE

Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS by EPP N.V. (“EPP”)
on 23 March 2020 advising shareholders that, inter alia, in order to preserve its financial
flexibility, EPP has decided (subject to ongoing review based on a continued assessment
of all relevant circumstances) to postpone the payment of its previously declared dividend
of 5.82 euro cents per share to 29 June 2020.

Shareholders are further referred to Redefine’s announcement released on SENS on
20 March 2020, wherein Redefine emphasised its ability to meet its solvency and liquidity
obligations and confirmed that it continues to pursue its stated strategic priority to reduce
balance sheet risk. Whilst this remains the position, as a precautionary measure to provide
Redefine with additional financial flexibility and bolster its liquidity in an extraordinary time
of uncertainty, the board of directors has resolved to defer its decision on a dividend
payment for the six months ended 29 February 2020 until the release of its results for the
year ending 31 August 2020, which is expected to be on or about 2 November 2020.

Shareholders are further referred to Redefine’s pre-close investor roadshow presentation
for the half year ended 29 February 2020, which was made available on the Company’s
website on 24 February 2020, in which shareholders were advised that distributable
income per share for the 2020 financial year was expected to be between 5% to 7% lower
than 2019.

Given the current unprecedented and evolving market conditions, Redefine hereby
withdraws its guidance as previously communicated. Redefine will provide shareholders
with updates at such time as it is able do so with a reasonable degree of certainty.
