Annexure A - Statements

Statement Section of Draft Circular

Statement 1 4.2 The Independent Board Committee has been advised that while trading of Units is typically impacted by a number of factors, the ASX Listing Proposal represents an opportunity for the Fund to trade more closely in line with other ASX listed REITs by virtue of the Fund being listed in the jurisdiction where the majority of its assets are located, thereby allowing investors to make a more direct comparison of the Fund with its ASX listed peers.

Statement 2 8.1 In coming to this view, the Independent Board Committee has taken the following into consideration:

• the benchmarking analysis undertaken in respect of other externally managed ASX listed Australian REITs by the Independent Expert and other third party advisers engaged by the Responsible Entity in respect of the ASX Listing Proposal, which indicated that it is not standard market practice in Australia to have management arrangements which include termination fees or which allow for a manager to remain in place where there is a change to the responsible entity; Macquarie Capital (Australia) Limited 4
