DIVIDEND FOR THE PERIOD ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2022

The Board has declared a gross cash dividend of 23.69370 cents per share for the six months ended
28 February 2022.

In accordance with Redefine's status as a REIT, shareholders are advised that the dividend meets
the requirements of a "qualifying distribution" for the purposes of section 25BB of the Income Tax
Act, No. 58 of 1962 (Income Tax Act). The distribution on the shares will be deemed to be a dividend
for South African tax purposes, in terms of section 25BB of the Income Tax Act.

The dividend received by or accrued to South African tax residents must be included in the gross
income of such shareholders and will not be exempt from income tax (in terms of the exclusion to
the general dividend exemption, contained in paragraph (aa) of section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax
Act) because it is a dividend distributed by a REIT.

This dividend is, however, exempt from dividend withholding tax in the hands of South African tax
resident shareholders, provided that the South African resident shareholders provided the following
forms to their Central Securities Depository Participant (CSDP) or broker, as the case may be, in
respect of uncertificated shares, or the company, in respect of certificated shares:
(a)   a declaration that the dividend is exempt from dividends tax; and
(b)   a written undertaking to inform the CSDP, broker or the company, as the case may be, should
      the circumstances affecting the exemption change or the beneficial owner cease to be the
      beneficial owner,

both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service.
Shareholders are advised to contact their CSDP, broker or the company, as the case may be, to
arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the dividend, if such
documents have not already been submitted.

Dividends received by non-resident shareholders will not be taxable as income and instead will be
treated as an ordinary dividend which is exempt from income tax in terms of the general dividend
exemption in section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax Act. Assuming dividend withholding tax will be
withheld at a rate of 20% (unless the rate is reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the
avoidance of double taxation (DTA) between South Africa and the country of residence of the
shareholder), the net dividend amount due to non-resident shareholders is 18.95496 cents per
share.

A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA, may only be relied upon if the
non-resident shareholder has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may
be, in respect of uncertificated shares, or the company, in respect of certificated shares:

(a)   a declaration that the distribution is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a
      DTA; and
(b)   a written undertaking to inform their CSDP, broker or the company, as the case may be, should
      the circumstances affecting the reduced rate change, or the beneficial owner cease to be the
      beneficial owner,

both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service. Non-
resident shareholders are advised to contact their CSDP, broker or the company, as the case may
be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the
distribution if such documents have not already been submitted, if applicable.

The dividend is payable to Redefine's shareholders in accordance with the timetable set out below:
