The Manager intends to announce the proposed source of financing subsequent to receiving approval from unitholders of LMIR Trust (“Unitholders”) to proceed with the Proposed Acquisitions at an extraordinary general meeting of Unitholders, to be held in due course. 2. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS The Manager believes that the Proposed Acquisitions will bring the following key benefits to Unitholders: (i) acquisition of retail mall assets at discounts to the average of the independent valuations offering stable occupancies and leasing up opportunities; (ii) opportunity to enhance the earnings of LMIR Trust; (iii) the properties which are the subject of the Proposed Acquisitions (the “Proposed Properties”) are located at strategic locations with sustainable retail traffic; (iv) increased economies of scale in operations and marketing; and (v) diversification of LMIR Trust’s asset portfolio to minimise concentration risk. The above rationales are further elaborated below. 2.1 Acquisition of Retail Mall Assets at Discounts to the average of the Independent Valuations offering stable occupancies and leasing up opportunities The Proposed Acquisitions represent an opportunity for LMIR Trust to acquire income producing quality properties below the independent valuations from the independent valuers, namely KJPP Rengganis, Hamid & Rekan (“KJPP RHP”) and KJPP Willson & Rekan, and are in line with the Manager’s acquisition growth strategy of owning retail and/or retail related properties to optimise Unitholders’ returns, as well as providing potential capital appreciation and long-term growth. 3 Average of Independent Valuations conducted by KJPP Discount to Purchase Rengganis, Hamid & Rekan in Average of Consideration strategic alliance with CB Property Independent (as defined Richard Ellis (“KJPP RHP”) and Valuations herein) KJPP Willson & Rekan in (%) affiliation with Knight Frank (“KJPP Willson & Rekan”) Pejaten Village Rp.748.0 billion Rp.855.6 billion (S$109.8 million) 12.6% (S$96.0 million(1)) Binjai Supermall Rp.237.5 billion Rp.250.5 billion (S$32.1 million) 5.2% (S$30.5 million) Note: (1) Based on the relevant exchange rate of S$1.00 to Rp.7,795.3 as at 9 October 2012 (the “Illustrative Rupiah Exchange Rate”). Unless otherwise stated, all conversions of Rp. amounts into S$ in this announcement shall be based on the Illustrative Rupiah Exchange Rate. As at 30 June 2012, the occupancy rates of Pejaten Village and Binjai Supermall are 95.2% and 91.4% respectively. The high occupancy rates are a reflection of the strong demand for retail space in Jakarta, where Pejaten Village is located, as well as at Binjai Supermall, which is the only mall in Binjai City and which also serves as a transit area for people travelling from Medan to Aceh. 2.2 Opportunity to Enhance the Earnings of LMIR Trust Based on the pro forma financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2011, the pro forma net property income (“NPI”) contribution from Pejaten Village and Binjai Supermall was Rp.54.6 billion (S$7.0 million). 2.3 Strategic Locations with Sustainable Retail Traffic The Proposed Properties are strategically located in Jakarta and Binjai (a transit point between Medan, the largest city in Sumatra, and Aceh), giving LMIR Trust access to the dense population located in these cities, thereby ensuring sustainable retail traffic at these properties. LMIR Trust’s retail malls are positioned as “Everyday Malls” that provide necessities (e.g. supermarkets and family shopping) to the community living in the regions neighbouring its retail malls and target the middle income population in densely populated cities in Indonesia.
