The purpose of this document which is issued with regard to the provisions of Law 114 (I) of 2005 is to give information to the investors regarding the distribution of dividend to be used for the payment of shares to be issued to the shareholders at the price of the nominal value of the share i.e. $\epsilon$ 0,34 per share.
Woolworth (Cyprus) Properties Plc ("the Company") with registered number H.E. 3987 is a listed Company with its shares being traded in the Alternative Market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange.
More information in regards to the Company are available at the website of the Cyprus Stock Exchange (www.cse.com.cy), at the Company's website (http://www.ctcgroup.com/property.html) and at the Company's registered office.
The Board of Directors of the Company at its meeting of 17 November, 2017 decided to propose at an Extraordinary General Meeting of the Shareholders to be convened on 11 December 2017 the payment of dividend amounting to $£15.800.000$ being 9.37 cent per share.
The decision of the Board of Directors proposes:
"To pay a dividend of $\epsilon$ 15.800.000 from the 2015 profits on the condition that the net payable amount of dividend is used for the full payment of the new ordinary shares to be issued by the Company at the nominal value of $\epsilon$ 0,34 (issue Price) each which will be issued to the entitled shareholders as fully paid shares.
The issuance of the new shares is calculated on the basis of the net payable dividend.
Where there is an obligation to deduct special defense contribution in accordance with the applicable law, the number of shares to be allocated in such cases will be reduced to take account of such contribution. The number of shares to be allotted to each shareholder will be determined by dividing the net payable amount to each shareholder by the Issue Price. Where the number of shares results in decimals in case such decimal is less than 0.5 it will be ignored whereas in case it is over 0.5 a full share will be allotted.

The Board of Directors is instructed to apply to the Cyprus Stock Exchange to list the new shares to be issued in the same category as the present shares of the Company i.e. in the CSE Alternative Market.
That an Extraordinary General Meeting is convened to approve the above decision."
It is noted that the average trading price of the existing shares in the Cyprus Stock Exchange during the last two months is 19.3 cent per share. It is also noted that the net present value of the share as at 30.6.17 was €0.839 per share.
The present issued number of shares is 168.687.023 shares of 34 cent each. For this purpose a new issue of shares is required of about 45.100.000 shares at 34 cent each i.e. gross dividend $£15.800.000$ less the $€465.000$ being the amount of special contribution for physical persons (which will be paid in cash to the Tax Office) which means a net amount of dividend of about €15.334.000.
The new total number shares, after the above issue is estimated at 213.787.000 shares. In view of the fact that the nominal capital of the Company is today 170.000.000 shares, an increase of the nominal capital to 220.000.000 will precede the resolution for the payment of dividend. The new shares will be introduced to the Cyprus Stock Exchange and will have the same rights as the existing shares.
The above proposal intends to make a distribution from the Company's 2015 profits to the shareholders in the form of a dividend on condition that the payable amount is used for the full payment of the new ordinary shares to be issued by the Company at their nominal value of $\epsilon$ 0,34 each (Issue Price) which will be allotted as fully paid shares to the shareholders entitled to the dividend. At the same time sufficient liquidity is maintained to facilitate the financing of future expansion program of the Company. The capital base of the Company is also strengthened.
For the implementation of the above the relevant resolutions regarding the dividend and the increase of capital will be put before an Extraordinary General Meeting of the shareholders of Woolworth (Cyprus) Properties Plc which is convened to take place on 11 December 2017.
The Company will proceed with an application for the admission of the new shares for trading in the Alternative Market of the Cyprus Stock Exchange where the existing shares of the Company are being traded. 17 November, 2017
