DIVIDEND

The board has declared an interim gross cash dividend of 48.00000 cents per share, for the six months ended 31 December 2025, out of the company's distributable
income. This equates to a payout ratio of 79.6%. A detailed announcement, including salient dates and the tax treatment applicable to the dividend, was published
on Tuesday, 10 March 2026 via SENS.


UPDATED GUIDANCE

The group upgrades its full-year FY26 DIPS growth guidance to between 11.0% and 14.0%, while maintaining a dividend payout ratio of 80.0%.

This guidance is based on the following key assumptions:


Assumptions within Attacq's control

- No material impact on distributable income due to unplanned developments, acquisitions or disposals


Assumptions outside of Attacq's control

- Forecasted rental income being achieved based on anticipated market-related renewals
- No major changes in vacancy rates
- No significant increase in load-shedding and the resultant increase in costs
- No unforeseen circumstances such as major corporate tenant failures or change of the current macroeconomic environment.

This guidance has been prepared in terms of the International Financial Reporting Standards and in accordance with the SA REIT Association's Best Practice
Recommendations (2nd edition) for the calculation of distributable income, and is consistent with the group's accounting policies.

The guidance is the responsibility of the board and has not been reviewed or reported on by Attacq's auditors.
