RESULTS OF DIVIDEND ELECTION

Redefine International shareholders are referred to the announcement released on 27 October 2016, and the subsequent finalisation announcement released on 8 November 2016, wherein they were advised that the board of directors of the Company (the "board") had approved a second interim dividend of 1.575 pence per share in respect of the year ended 31 August 2016 (the "dividend"), with the board offering shareholders the election to receive a dividend by way of an issue of new Redefine International shares (of the same class as existing shares) credited as fully paid up ("scrip dividend").

Of the total dividend of 1.575 pence to be paid, whether as a cash dividend or scrip dividend: -

- 1.1025 pence (70%) will comprise a property income distribution ("PID"), subject to a deduction of 20% UK withholding tax unless exemptions apply; and

- 0.4725 pence (30%) will comprise a non-PID, which will be treated as an ordinary UK company dividend, with no withholding tax deducted.

The Company is pleased to announce that election forms for 489,086,495 ordinary shares of 8 pence each in the Company ("ordinary shares") have been received, representing a 27.3% take up by shareholders, for which 17,141,172 scrip dividend shares are to be issued, being approximately 0.96% of the current issued share capital of the Company.

An application will be made for the scrip dividend shares, which will rank pari passu in all respects with the Company's existing issued ordinary shares, to be admitted to the Premium Segment of the Official List of the United Kingdom Listing Authority, to trading on the London Stock Exchange's Main Market for listed securities and to be listed on the JSE ("Admission"). It is expected that Admission will occur on Monday, 12 December 2016.

This announcement is being made ahead of the proposed schedule, prior to Admission.

Following Admission, the total number of voting rights will be 1,811,739,822 ("ISC"). No ordinary shares are held in treasury. The figure of 1,811,739,822 ordinary shares may then be used by shareholders in the Company as the denominator for the calculations by which they will determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change in their interest in, the share capital of the Company under the UK Financial Conduct Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.

The following Directors and Persons Closely Associated have informed the Company that they have elected to take up the Scrip Dividend Shares:
