GCR RATINGS UPGRADES VUKILE ISSUER RATING


Vukile noteholders and shareholders are advised that Global Credit Rating Company Limited (“GCR”) has
released a credit rating announcement in which Vukile's national scale long-term issuer rating has been
upgraded to AA(za) (previously AA-(za)), with the short-term national scale issue rating affirmed at A1+(za), with
a Stable Outlook.

According to GCR, the issuer rating reflects “Vukile’s geographically diversified Spanish and South African
retail portfolio (at c. R33bn) focus on non-metropolitan, convenience-oriented shopping centres and retail
parks, that are primarily anchored with grocery or essential services tenants” and “recognises the REIT’s
commitment to maintaining balance sheet and liquidity strength.”

GCR’s credit rating announcement is publicly available on its website at:
