TRADING STATEMENT

In terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, a listed property entity may adopt
distribution per share as the applicable criteria for trading statement purposes and is then
required to publish a trading statement as soon as it becomes reasonably certain that the
distribution per share for the next period to be reported on will differ by 15% or more from the
distribution per share for the previous corresponding period.

The Company hereby advises that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that for the 6 month
period ended 30 September 2018, the distribution per share will be between 24 cents and
28 cents, representing a decrease of between 20% and 31% compared to the distribution per
share of 35 cents reported for the 6 month period ended 30 September 2017.

The distribution per share decreased firstly due to the fact that the weighted number of shares
was used and antecedent dividends (resulting from the 119 552 633 shares issued at R7.60
during the 2018 distribution period) were included to calculate distributable income per share
for the 2018 distribution period of which the December 2017 distribution of 35 cents per share
was the interim distribution.

Secondly, the weaker than expected performance of the Platz Am Meer shopping centre and
the delay in the sale of the residential units at the Platz Am Meer development in Swakopmund
also limited the distributable income per share for the 6 months ending 30 September 2018.

Taking the above into account and the current economic climate in South Africa and Namibia,
Safari decided not to distribute from capital reserves as this will ensure long term sustainability.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or
reported on by the auditor of the Company. The unaudited results for the 6 month period ended
30 September 2018 are expected to be published on or about 22 November 2018.
