Dividend

The Company's dividend policy continues to pay shareholders 65 per cent of FFO, with the dividend paid semi-annually. As in previous
periods, the Company is offering shareholders the ability to receive dividends in scrip rather than cash.

In accordance with this policy, the Board has declared an interim dividend of 1.39c per share for the six month period ended 30
September 2016. The ex-dividend date will be 13 December 2016 for shareholders on the South African register and 15 December
2016 for shareholders on the UK register. The record date will be 15 December 2016 for shareholders on the South African register
and 16 December for shareholders on the UK register and the dividend will be paid on 20 January 2017 for shareholders on both
registers. A detailed dividend announcement will be made in due course.
