SHORT-FORM ANNOUNCEMENT: AUDITED RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31
MARCH 2024 AND DISTRIBUTION DECLARATION


OASIS CRESCENT PROPERTY FUND PHILOSOPHY & STRATEGY

The Fund is a well-diversified real estate investment trust ("REIT") invested in South African
direct property investments, high quality global listed REITs and liquid instruments. The Fund
is focused on meeting all tenant needs and maintaining world class facilities. The absence of
debt and financial leverage delivers a more sustainable rate of growth during the normal
course of operations but more importantly, the Fund is not exposed to the risk and negative
effects of financial leverage during difficult times as we are currently experiencing.


1.    THE PERIOD IN BRIEF

Unitholder return of 10.3% per annum since inception compared to inflation of 5.6% per
annum.

Distribution including non-permissible income increased by 12.9% to 112.2 cents per unit
relative to 99.4 cents in the prior year corresponding period.

Healthy growth in net property income driven by the focus of the portfolio on the Western
Cape which continues to outperform national benchmarks due to positive secular drivers
including semi-gration, global admin outsourcing services, better governance and associated
lifestyle factors which continue to drive performance and vacancy levels that are significantly
lower than the rest of the South African market.

Global Investment income increased due to higher dividend payout ratios from the underlying
global REITs combined with the weakening of ZAR/US$ exchange rate during the period.

Cash and local investment income increased due to higher levels of investment holdings and
higher profit rates.

The Fund has no debt and its tenant profile remains low-risk as 91% of tenants are multi-
national, national, or government-related.


2. KEY FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

Revenue increased by 20.1% to R131.3, from R109.3 million in the prior corresponding

corresponding period.
Distribution per unit increased by 12.8% to 110.7 cents per unit, from 98.1 cents per unit in
the prior corresponding period.

Net asset value per unit increased by 13.0% to 2 703 cents per unit, from 2 391 cents per
unit in the prior corresponding period.

3.   DECLARATION ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE DISTRIBUTION FOR THE
     SIX MONTHS ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

Notice is hereby given that a distribution of 5,743.07800 cents (in aggregate), after non-
permissible income, for every 100 (one hundred) units so held, has been approved and
declared to unitholders recorded in the register of OCPF at close of business on
Friday, 7 June 2024, from income. Unitholders may elect to receive the distribution in cash
or to reinvest the distribution by the purchase of new units at a rate of 2.12471 units at 2,703
cents per unit (in aggregate), for every 100 (one hundred) units so held.

Trading in the electronic Strate environment does not permit fractions and fractional
entitlements in respect of units. Accordingly, should a unitholder's entitlement to new units,
calculated in accordance with the ratio mentioned above, give rise to a fraction of a new unit,
such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, resulting in allocations of
whole units and a payment to the unitholder in respect of the remaining cash amount due to
that unitholder under the distribution.

The publication of this announcement and/or applicable documents and the right to reinvest
the distribution in jurisdictions other than South Africa may be restricted by law and a failure
to comply with any of these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any
such jurisdictions. OCPF units have not been and will not be registered for the purposes of
the election under the securities laws of the United Kingdom, European Economic Area or
EEA, Canada, United States of America, Japan or Australia and accordingly are not being
offered, sold, taken up, re-sold or delivered directly or indirectly to recipients with registered
addresses in such jurisdictions.

In respect of the distribution, unitholders who will receive the distribution are hereby informed
that, for taxation purposes, OCPF is a REIT as defined in the Income Tax Act as from 1 April
2013 and, accordingly, the tax implications of the distribution have changed as from that date.
The distribution will not be exempt from income tax in terms of section 10(1)(k) of the Income
Tax Act.

For South African tax residents, the distribution will be exempt from dividends tax in terms of
section 64F(1) of the Income Tax Act, provided that you, as unitholder, provide the transfer
secretary or your nominee, custodian or Central Securities Depository Participant ("CSDP")
with confirmation of your tax residence status in the prescribed form. If you do not provide
the required residence status, they will have no choice but to withhold dividends tax at a rate
of 20%.

For non-resident unitholders, for South African tax purposes, the distribution received by a
non-resident unitholder from a REIT will be subject to dividend withholding tax at 20%, unless
the rate is reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the avoidance of double taxation
("DTA") between South Africa and the country of tax residence of the unitholder. Non-
resident unitholders that believe that a reduced rate of tax applies in respect of their
applicable DTA should contact the transfer secretaries or their nominee, custodian or CSDP
for the prescribed form to record the reduced rate of tax.

Where dividends tax is withheld at 20%:
- the reinvestment ratio for non-resident unitholders will be 1.69977 units at 2,703 cents
   per unit, for every 100 (one hundred) units held on the record date; and
- should such unitholders elect to receive the distribution in cash, they will receive
   4,594.46240 cents per 100 units held on the record date.

Kindly contact the transfer secretaries, or your nominee, custodian or CSDP for a copy of
the prescribed declaration form.

The Income Tax Act sections applicable to the distributions made are as follows:

-          Property income distribution from a REIT – section 10(1)(k) and section 64F(1)

Both resident and non-resident unitholders are encouraged to consult their professional tax
advisors with regard to their individual tax liability in this regard.
A circular will be posted out to unitholders on Wednesday, 8 May 2024, in respect of the unit
and income distribution.

Notes:
1.   Unitholders reinvesting their distribution in new units are alerted to the fact that
     the new units will be listed 3 business days after the last day to trade and that
     these new units can only be traded 3 business days after the last day to trade, due
     to the fact that settlement of the units will be 3 business days after the record
     date, which differs from the conventional one business day after the record date
     settlement process.
2.   Units may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 5 June 2024
     and Friday, 7 June 2024, both days inclusive.
3.   The above dates and times are subject to change. Any changes will be announced on
     SENS.
4.   All times quoted above are South African times.
5.   Dematerialised unitholders should provide their CSDP or broker with their election
     instructions by the cut-off time stipulated in terms of their custody agreement with such
     CSDP or broker.
6.   If no election is made, the distribution accrued to the unitholder will be used to purchase
     additional units
