Cash dividend and offer of Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The board of directors of Sirius has earlier today declared a dividend for the six-month period ended
30 September 2025 of €0.0318 per share.
The dividend is payable on Thursday, 22 January 2026 to Sirius shareholders ("Shareholders") on the share register on Friday, 12 December 2025. The dividend is being paid from the UK.
The Company will not be offering a scrip dividend alternative but, for those Shareholders who wish to receive their dividend in the form of shares, the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") will again be available. This means that the net dividend after tax is effectively reinvested by acquiring additional shares in the Company. The DRIP terms and conditions can be found at https://www.mpms.mufg.com/en/for-individuals/uk/shareholders/dividend-reinvestment-plan-drip/company-information (for Shareholders on the UK share register) and www.sirius-real-estate.com/investors/dividends/

3. Dividend Reinvestment Plan
UK Shareholders
UK Shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP should complete an application form online at: uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com. Please note that for any future offers of the DRIP, those shareholders who hold their shares on the UK principal register and have participated in the DRIP, need not complete a DRIP election form for each dividend as such forms provide an ongoing authority to participate in the DRIP until cancelled in writing or online at uk.investorcentre.mpms.mufg.com.
SA Shareholders
As at the date of this announcement, all SA Shareholders hold their shares in a dematerialised form through the Strate system. Such shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP should contact their CSDP or broker. SA Shareholders who rematerialise their share certificate(s) will not be eligible to participate in the DRIP.
Certificated shareholders or dematerialised shareholders who have rematerialised their share certificate(s), who wish to participate in the DRIP are required to dematerialise their share certificate(s) and transfer their shares into a CSDP. Should you hold registered share certificates and wish to dematerialise your share certificates in order to participate in the DRIP, please contact Computershare on +27 11 370 5000 (overseas) or call 086 1100 933 between 08:30 to 17:00 SAST on business days, for the procedure to be followed.
For further details, please see the DRIP terms and conditions, which could be found at www.sirius-real-estate.com/investors/dividends/.

The contents of this announcement are not to be construed as legal or tax advice. Shareholders who are in any doubt about their tax position, or who are subject to tax in a jurisdiction other than the UK or SA, should consult their own appropriate independent professional adviser without delay.
Non-residents would have to submit a declaration and written undertaking in the prescribed form to the relevant regulated intermediary for the exemption to apply. The declaration and written undertaking must be submitted before the due date for the payment of the dividend.
5. General Information
On Monday, 17 November 2025, being the declaration date of the dividend, the Company had in issue 1,513,175,644 ordinary shares and there were no shares held in treasury. The Company is incorporated in Guernsey with Company number 46442 and its tax registration number in Guernsey is 1EC.956 and its UK tax number is GB 203993015.
6. Exchange Control Regulations
The following is not intended to constitute advice and only serves as a guide and is therefore not a comprehensive statement of the Exchange Control Regulations of South Africa issued under the South African Currency and Exchanges Act, No. 9 of 1933, as amended ("Exchange Control Regulations"), applicable to SA Shareholders.
Shareholders who are in any doubt as to the appropriate course of action to take should consult their professional advisors.
Any shares acquired via the DRIP are not freely transferable from South Africa and must be dealt with in the terms of the Exchange Control Regulations.
Shareholders who hold shares on the SA share register can only receive reinvested shares on that register.
The following principles apply to non-resident Shareholders and emigrants who make the relevant election:
1. The cash dividend
As the cash dividend will be paid out of the Company's distributable profits, such dividends are freely transferable from South Africa. For emigrants, the election of the cash dividend by emigrants must be made through an authorised dealer in foreign exchange controlling the Shareholder's emigrant capital account.
2. Reinvested shares via the DRIP
Only dematerialised Shareholders may participate in the DRIP and all aspects relating to the Exchange Control Regulations will be managed by their CSDP or broker, as follows:
(A) Non-residents
Reinvested shares will be credited to their CSDP or broker accounts and a "Non-Resident" annotation will appear in the CSDP or broker register. Dividend payments will be credited directly to the bank accounts nominated for them by their CSDP or broker.
(B) Emigrants
Based on shares controlled in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations, reinvested shares will be controlled and form part of the emigrant's remaining assets and be reflected in the capital account held with the Authorised Dealer controlling these assets. In particular, it will be the CSDP of the Authorised Dealer or the CSDP contracted by the Authorised Dealer that will be responsible to implement the election and a "Non-Resident" annotation will appear in the CSDP. These shares will thus form part of the remaining assets of the emigrant. However, it should be noted that it was indicated by the South African Reserve Bank in Exchange Control Circular 3/2023 (in relation to income and capital distributions from inter vivos trusts) and Exchange Control Circular 13/2025, that remaining funds in South Africa may be transferred from South Africa up to R10 million, subject to the emigrant obtaining the relevant tax TCS clearance from the South African Revenue Service. Thereafter separate exchange control approval needs to be sought for amounts in excess of R 10 million.
In terms of the Exchange Control Regulations of South Africa:
1. any share certificates that might be issued to non-resident shareholders will be endorsed 'Non-Resident';
2. any new share certificates issued based on emigrants' shares controlled in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations, will be forwarded to the Authorised Dealer controlling their remaining assets. Such share certificates will be endorsed 'Non-Resident'; and
3. dividends and residual cash payments from reserves are freely transferable from South Africa.
