Dividend Timetable

26 February 2025

The Board of Directors of the Company has recommended a final cash dividend of 8.07 pence per ordinary
share ("Share") for the period ended 31 December 2024 (the "Final 2024 Dividend"), subject to approval
by the shareholders of the Company at the 2025 Annual General Meeting (the "AGM"). The Final 2024
Dividend will be paid as a non-Property Income Distribution, and treated as an ordinary UK company
dividend.

The Company will not be offering a scrip dividend alternative but, for shareholders who wish to receive
their dividend in the form of Shares, the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") will be available. The terms
and conditions of the DRIP for UK shareholders can be found at www.signalshares.com. Shareholders
registered on the South African Branch Register should contact their Central Securities Depository
Participant ("CSDP") or Broker for further information.

The expected timetable for the payment of the Final 2024 Dividend is set out below.
