FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT – ODD-LOT OFFER

1.    Introduction

1.1   Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 26 April 2024,
      wherein shareholders were advised that the Company decided to proceed with the
      implementation of an Odd-Lot Offer to all shareholders holding less than 100 (one
      hundred) ordinary shares in the Company ('Odd-Lot Offer') and to the Circular relating
      to the Odd-Lot Offer that was distributed to shareholders on the same day ('Circular').

1.2   Shareholders are further referred to the General Meeting of shareholders ('General
      Meeting') held on Tuesday, 28 May 2024, including the subsequent announcement
      released on SENS on the same day advising shareholders that all the resolutions tabled
      at the General Meeting were approved by the requisite majorities of the Company's
      shareholders.

1.3   Shareholders are hereby advised that the condition precedent requiring shareholders
      to approve the resolutions relating to the Odd-Lot Offer has been met. Accordingly,
      the Company will proceed with the implementation of the Odd-Lot Offer.

1.4   Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised words and terms contained in this
      announcement shall bear the meanings ascribed thereto in the Circular.

2.    Odd-Lot Offer Price

2.1   The Odd-Lot Offer price per Putprop Share to be acquired in terms of the Odd-lot Offer
      is 327.18040 cents, based on a 5% premium to the 30-day volume weighted average
      price of an Putprop Share at the close of business on Monday, 3 June 2024 being
      311.60038 cents.

2.2   The Odd-Lot Consideration will be distributed as a return of capital and will result in a
      reduction of 'contributed tax capital' as defined in section 1 of the Income Tax Act.
      The Odd-lot Consideration will therefore not be regarded as a dividend for South
      African income tax purposes.

2.3   Putprop shareholders are advised to consult their own tax and/or other professional
      advisors regarding the taxation implications arising out of the acceptance of the Odd-
      Lot Offer.

3.    Transaction costs for Odd-Lot Holders

3.1   Shareholders eligible to participate in the Odd-Lot Offer will not bear any transaction
      costs in respect of the Odd-Lot Offer.

3.2   Securities transfer tax, if any, will be paid by Putprop at a rate of 0.25% calculated on
      the taxable amount as determined in section 5(1)(a) of the Securities Transfer Tax Act
      No. 25 of 2007.

3.3   The Odd-Lot Offer may be subject to tax in the relevant jurisdiction of the Odd-Lot
      Holder arising from the disposal of the Odd-Lot Holdings by the Odd-Lot Holders who
      make an election to sell their Odd-Lot Holdings to Putprop, or who do not make an
      election, or who do not return their Form of Election and Surrender (pink) timeously to
      the Transfer Secretaries. Putprop shareholders are advised to consult their own tax
