RDI shareholders are referred to the announcement released on 5 November 2020 regarding the interim dividend of 5.00 pence per share in respect of the year ended 31 August 2020 (the "cash dividend").

Shareholders are advised that the GBP to Rand conversion rate is 20.29000. Accordingly, the Rand equivalent of the cash dividend of 5.00 pence is 101.45000 ZAR cents.

Shareholders will receive the cash dividend as a Property Income Distribution ("PID"), calculated as follows:

* Certain categories of UK shareholders may apply for exemption, in which case the PID element will be paid gross.

** A 5% rebate is reclaimable from the UK's HM Revenue & Customs, resulting in an effective UK withholding tax rate of 15%. Therefore, an additional 5% South African withholding tax is to be deducted by the relevant regulated intermediary on all cash PIDs paid to persons who are not exempt from dividends tax in South Africa and paid to the South African Revenue Service on the beneficial owner's behalf. As a result, the initial withholding tax rate on cash PIDs for non-exempt South African shareholders will be 25%.

The cash dividend will be paid out of the Company's operating profits.

The salient dates for payment of the cash dividend published in the announcement dated 5 November 2020, remain unchanged.

As at the date of this announcement, the Company has 380 315 623 ordinary shares of 40 pence each in issue.
