BUSINESS OVERVIEW
Dipula is an internally managed, South Africa focused Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") that 
owns a portfolio of retail, office, industrial and residential property assets throughout South 
Africa, with the majority of the portfolio located in Gauteng. Dipula's strategy is to own a 
defensive portfolio with a bias towards convenience, rural and township retail centres.

PAYMENT OF DIVIDEND
The Board has approved, and notice is hereby given of a final gross dividend (dividend number 29) 
for the period 1 March 2026 to 31 August 2026 of 28.45381 cents per share.

Dipula shareholders will be offered an election, in respect of all or part of their shareholding, 
to re-invest the cash dividend of 28.45381 cents per ordinary share in return for new shares (the 
"re-investment option"). By electing to participate in this re-investment option, shareholders will 
be able to increase their shareholding in Dipula without incurring dealing costs. In turn, Dipula 
will benefit from an increase in the amount of shareholders' funds available to support continued 
growth.

Further details regarding the re-investment option, including the salient dates and times and the 
action to be taken by shareholders wishing to participate in the re-investment option, will be set 
out in a circular to shareholders to be issued in due course once all regulatory approvals are received.

GUIDANCE
The Board anticipates distributable earnings growth of 8% to 10% per share for the financial year ahead.

The forecast is based on the following assumptions:

Dipula - specific assumptions
- Forecast rental income is supported by contractual escalations and market related lease renewal
  assumptions; and
- No material tenant or corporate failures are expected within the portfolio.

Macroeconomic and regulatory assumptions
- Macroeconomic conditions remain broadly stable and do not deteriorate materially;
- Current geopolitical instability does not result in a significant increase in interest rates; and
- There are no material changes to the existing tax legislation.

This forecast has been prepared by management and approved by the Board and has not been reviewed
or audited by the Group's external auditors. The forecast is consistent with Dipula's accounting policies
and has been prepared in terms of IFRS and in accordance with the SA REIT Association's Best Practice
Recommendations in respect of the calculation of distributable income.
