("NEPI" or "the company")
NOTICE TO NEPI SHAREHOLDERS IN RESPECT OF AN ELECTION TO RECEIVE EITHER A CASH DIVID OR A RETURN OF CAPITAL
CASH DIVID OR RETURN OF CAPITAL
As announced on 10 August 2016, shareholders are advised that the board of directors ("the board") of the company has declared an interim distribution of 18.68 Euro cents per share in respect of the six months ended 30 June 2016, and that the board has resolved to offer shareholders the election to receive a return of capital by way of an issue of new NEPI shares ("return of capital") or a cash dividend. The cash dividend will be paid to shareholders unless a shareholder elects to receive a return of capital.
The number of new NEPI shares to which a shareholder is entitled in terms of the return of capital will be determined with reference to the ratio that the cash dividend of 18.68 Euro cents per share bears to the reference price, being up to a 5% discount to the five-day volume weighted average traded price (less the cash dividend) of NEPI shares on the JSE (converted to Euro for those shares held on the UK and Romanian registers), to be announced on Tuesday, 13 September 2016.
The rationale for the return of capital is to afford shareholders the opportunity to increase their shareholding in NEPI and to retain flexibility with regard to the company's cash resources.
The cash dividend will be paid out of the company's distributable profits. The new NEPI shares to be issued pursuant to the return of capital are funded by way of a reduction of part of the company's share premium account by way of a reduction of capital.
As at the date of this announcement, the company has 318 843 185 ordinary shares of EUR0.01 each in issue.
A circular to NEPI shareholders in respect of the election being offered to NEPI shareholders to receive either the cash dividend or the return of capital ("circular"), together with an election form, will be posted to shareholders today, 31 August 2016 and is available on the company's website at www.nepinvest.com.

TAX IMPLICATIONS
SA resident shareholders
The receipt of the cash dividend or election to receive the return of capital may have tax implications for shareholders.
For those South African resident shareholders receiving the cash dividend, such amount will be regarded as a foreign dividend and may be subject to South African dividends tax at a rate of 15%, unless an exemption as set out in the South African Income Tax legislation applies.
The receipt of new NEPI shares by South African resident shareholders should not be classified as a dividend or a foreign dividend for South African tax purposes and accordingly South African dividends withholding tax should not be levied on the new NEPI shares. However, the legislation in this regard is complex and its implementation is currently uncertain. Accordingly, shareholders should seek independent professional tax advice.
NEPI shareholders are advised to consult their professional advisors regarding the tax consequences of the cash dividend and the return of capital or should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.
The information provided above is only of direct application to shareholders on the South African share register. The gross local dividend amount for shareholders exempt from paying South African dividends tax will be announced on Tuesday, 13 September 2016, being the date on which the exchange rate in respect of the interim dividend is announced. The net local dividend amount for shareholders liable to pay the 15% South African dividends tax will also be announced on Tuesday, 13 September 2016.
In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements regarding dividends withholding tax in South Africa, NEPI shareholders are advised that there is no withholding tax payable in the Isle of Man.
Shareholders residing outside South Africa
The receipt of the cash dividend or election to receive the return of capital may have tax implications for shareholders who are resident in the United Kingdom, Romania or other countries and such shareholders are advised to obtain appropriate advice from their professional advisors in this regard.
