Shareholders are referred to Redefine's condensed consolidated results for the six months ended
28 February 2019, published on SENS on Monday, 6 May 2019, wherein shareholders were advised
that Redefine has declared an interim cash dividend of 49.19 cents per share, for the six months
ended 28 February 2019, from the company's distributable income (the "cash dividend") and that
shareholders will be entitled, in respect of all or part of their shareholdings, to elect to reinvest 
the cash dividend in return for Redefine shares (the "share reinvestment alternative"), failing which
they will receive the cash dividend of 49.19 cents per share that will be paid to those shareholders
not electing to participate in the share reinvestment alternative.

The board of directors of Redefine may, in its discretion, withdraw the share reinvestment
alternative should market conditions warrant such action and such withdrawal will be
communicated to shareholders prior to the release of the finalisation announcement on
SENS, which will be no later than Tuesday, 14 May 2019 (by 11:00).

A circular providing further information in respect of the cash dividend and share reinvestment
alternative will be sent to Redefine shareholders who are residents of South Africa on Monday,
6 May 2019. Copies of the circular may be obtained from the registered offices of Redefine,
Rosebank Towers, 19 Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, Johannesburg, 2196 during normal business
hours. The circular will also be available in electronic format on the company's website at
www.redefine.co.za.

Shareholders who have dematerialised their shares through a Central Securities Depository
Participant ("CSDP") or broker should instruct their CSDP or broker with regard to their election, 
in accordance with the terms of the custody agreement entered into between them and their CSDP or
broker.

Notes:
1. Shareholders electing the share re-investment alternative are alerted to the fact that the
   new shares will be listed on LDT + 3 and that these new shares can only be traded on LDT
   + 3, due to the fact that settlement of the shares will be three days after the record date,
   which differs from the conventional one day after record date settlement process.
2. Shares may not be dematerialised or rematerialized between Wednesday, 22 May 2019 and
   Friday, 24 May 2019, both days inclusive.
3. The above dates and times are subject to change. Any changes will be released on SENS.

Shareholders are advised that in electing to participate in the share re-investment alternative,
pre-taxation funds are utilised for the purposes and that taxation will be due on the total cash
dividend amount of 49.19 cents per share.

This cash dividend or the share re-investment alternative may have tax implications for resident as
well as non-resident shareholders. Shareholders are therefore encouraged to consult their
professional advisors should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.

FRACTIONS

Trading in the Strate environment does not permit fractions and fractional entitlements. Where a
shareholder's entitlement to the shares in relation to the share re-investment alternative gives rise
to an entitlement to a fraction of a new share, such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest
whole number with the cash balance of the dividend being retained by the shareholders.

FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS

The release, publication or distribution of this announcement and the circular and/or accompanying
documents and the right to elect shares pursuant to the share re-investment alternative in
jurisdictions other than the Republic of South Africa may be restricted or affected by the laws of such
jurisdictions, and a failure to comply with any of those restrictions may constitute a violation of the
securities laws of any such jurisdictions. The shares issued pursuant to the share re-investment plan
have not been and will not be registered for the purposes of the election under the securities laws
of the United States, Australia, Canada, countries in the European Economic Area, Japan and Hong
Kong and accordingly are not being offered, sold, taken up, re-sold or delivered directly or indirectly
to recipients with registered addresses in such jurisdictions unless certain exemptions from the
requirements of those jurisdictions are applicable.

United States of America

The shares issued pursuant to the share re-investment alternative have not been and will not be
registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act"), or under
any securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered,
sold, taken up, exercised, resold, renounced, transferred or delivered, directly or indirectly, within
the United States except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject
to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state and other securities
laws of the United States. There will be no public offer of the shares issued pursuant to the share
re-investment plan in the United States.

In addition, the company has not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Company Act"), and related rules. The shares
are being offered and sold in offshore transactions in compliance with Regulation S of the U.S.
Securities Act ("Regulation S"). In the United States, only persons that are both "qualified
institutional buyers" (as defined in Rule 144A under the U.S. Securities Act) ("QIBs") and "qualified
purchasers" (as defined under the Investment Company Act) ("QPs"), may elect the share
re-investment alternative pursuant to exemptions from the registration requirements of the U.S.
Securities Act. Any person in the United States acquiring shares issued pursuant to the share
re-investment alternative must execute and deliver to the company an investor letter satisfactory to
the company to the effect that such person and any account for which it is acquiring the shares is a
QIB and a QP and satisfies certain other requirements. The investor letter may be requested or
obtained from Redefine by emailing dripinfo@redefine.co.za. Subject to certain exceptions, this
announcement and any other materials relating to the share re-investment alternative may not be
sent to any shareholder in, or with a registered address in, the United States.
