SHOPPING CENTRE FOOTFALL & SALES

(1) Footfall Data includes the following shopping centres: El Faro, Bahía Sur, Los Arcos, Vallsur, Habaneras, Puerta Europa and Granaíta Retail Park. There are no counters in the rest of the retail park assets. Granaita Retail Park only counts cars, so we have estimated an average of 2 people per car.

> Despite restrictions imposed on shopping malls since November, footfall has recovered to 80% of pre-covid levels over Christmas

APPROACH TO DIVIDEND PAYMENTS

> Given ongoing Covid uncertainty, it is difficult to provide guidance to the market in respect of an event four months hence

> However, assuming things remain as is, we would expect Vukile to meet the solvency and liquidity tests and therefore be requiredunder REIT legislation to pay a dividend in respect of FY2021

> Our preference is to keep things simple and would not look to use any structured product to pay the dividend

> Not keen on deep discounted DRIPS as they can be value destructive (effectively issuing shares at a deep discount to NAV)

> Would therefore look to pay a cash dividend in July 2021

EXPLAINING OUR THINKING, NOT PROVIDING GUIDANCE

> In terms of JSE rules, an SA REIT must distribute at least 75% of distributable profits, subject to the solvency and liquidity test per the SA Companies Act

‒ expect company to be solvent and liquid at dividend declaration date

> The JSE defines distributable profit as:‒ gross income, as defined in terms of the SA Income Tax Act‒ less deductions and allowances that are permitted to be deducted by a REIT (in terms of the SA Income Tax Act)

> Distributable profits of an SA REIT is determined on a basis consistent with the SA Income Tax Act

> In terms of JSE rules, only South African property subsidiaries are required to distribute 75% of their distributable profits‒ Castellana is not compelled to distribute and may elect to distribute only the amount required to retain Spanish REIT status,

which is a distribution equal to at least 80% of Spanish GAAP‒ If Castellana only distributes 80% of Spanish GAAP, this will approximate 50% to 60% of Castellana FFO‒ Castellana does not pay tax on the distributable profits it retains, provided it pays out at lease 80% of Spanish GAAP income

> To meet JSE REIT distribution requirements, Vukile can distribute:‒ 75% of SA FFO; plus‒ 75% of Castellana dividends received, where Castellana dividends can be restricted to 80% of Spanish GAAP

> Therefore, the cash dividend to be paid from FY2022 onwards can potentially amount to ±60% to 65% of total group FFO, allowing for greater cash retention, whilst still complying with REIT Legislation.

> However, due to having received a dividend from Castellana in December 2020, the pay-out ratio for FY2021 will be closer to the 75% minimum REIT pay-out ratio
