(1) The Proposed Acquisition (Ordinary Resolution) The proposed acquisition of the property located at 1 George Street, Singapore 049145 (“1 George Street”, and the proposed acquisition of 1 George Street, the “Acquisition”).

(2) The Proposed General Mandate for the Issue of New Units and/or Convertible Securities (Ordinary Resolution) The proposed general mandate to be given to the Manager for the issue of new units in CCT (“Units”) and/or convertible securities (“Convertible Securities”) in the financial year ending 31 December 2008 (“FY2008”) such that the number of new Units (and/or Units into which the Convertible Securities may be converted) does not exceed 50.0% of the number of Units in issue as at 31 December 2007 (the “Base Figure”), of which the aggregate number of new Units (and/or Units into which the Convertible Securities may be converted), where the Units and/or Convertible Securities are issued other than on a pro rata basis to existing Unitholders, must not be more than 20.0% of the Base Figure (the “General Mandate”).

RESOLUTION 1: THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

Overview of the Proposed Acquisition On 26 March 2008, the Trustee entered into a call option agreement (the “Call Option Agreement”) with George Street Pte Ltd (the “Vendor”) pursuant to which the Trustee was granted a call option for the acquisition of 1 George Street (the “Call Option”) at a purchase consideration of S$1,165.0 million (the “Purchase Consideration”). Pursuant to the Call Option Agreement, the Vendor shall procure that CapitaLand Commercial Limited (“CCL”) shall negotiate and enter into a deed of yield protection (“Deed of Yield Protection”) to provide yield protection to CCT to ensure a minimum Net Property Income (as defined herein) of S$49,512,500 per annum, which is equal to 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration (the “Yield Protection”). The Yield Protection is granted for a period of five years commencing from (and including) the date of completion of the sale and purchase of 1 George Street (“Completion”)1 and ending on the day immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of such date of Completion (which is expected to fall within 2013) (the “Yield Protection Period”).

1 George Street is a three-year old 23-storey premier Grade A Office (as defined herein) building prominently located in the core of Singapore’s Central Business District (“CBD”) within the Raffles Place micro-market, along George Street and near the junction of South Bridge Road and Pickering Street. 1 George Street has a net lettable area (“NLA”) of approximately 41,621 square metres (“sq m”) and a committed occupancy of 100.0% as at 1 May 2008. 1 George Street was completed in December 2004 and is one of the newest premier commercial properties in Singapore with state-of-the-art building

1 The date of Completion shall be a date which is not less than seven business days and not more than 14 business days, after the date on which the Trustee has exercised the Call Option.

1 specifications designed to suit tenants in the financial services industry and also multinational companies. Its major tenants include The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, WongPartnership LLP, Borouge Pte. Ltd., Lloyd’s of London (Asia) Pte Ltd and the Canadian High Commission.

The Purchase Consideration of 1 George Street was arrived at on a willing-buyer and willing-seller basis. The Manager has commissioned an independent property valuer, Jones Lang LaSalle Property Consultants Pte Ltd (“JLL”) and the Trustee has commissioned an independent property valuer, Knight Frank Pte Ltd (“Knight Frank”) to value 1 George Street. JLL in its report dated 16 April 2008 stated that the open market value of 1 George Street is S$1,165.0 million and Knight Frank in its report dated 16 April 2008 stated that the open market value of 1 George Street is S$1,170.0 million. In arriving at the open market value, JLL and Knight Frank did not take into consideration the Yield Protection. If the Yield Protection was taken into account in the valuation workings, the open market value derived would be in excess of S$1,165.0 million and S$1,170.0 million respectively. (See Appendix D — Valuation Certificates.)

The total cost of the Acquisition (the “Total Acquisition Cost”) is currently estimated to be approximately S$1,180.2 million, comprising: (i) the Purchase Consideration of S$1,165.0 million; (ii) the acquisition fee payable to the Manager (the “Acquisition Fee”) which amounts to S$11.7 million; and (iii) the estimated professional and other fees and expenses incurred by CCT in connection with the Acquisition which amounts to S$3.5 million. (See paragraph 3 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details.)

As the Acquisition will constitute an “interested party transaction” in the Property Funds Guidelines in Appendix 2 of the Code on Collective Investment Schemes (the “Property Funds Guidelines”) issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (the “MAS”), the Acquisition Fee will be made in the form of Units, which shall not be sold within one year from the date of issuance.

Under the terms of the property management agreement entered into between the Trustee, the Manager and the Property Manager on 1 March 2004 (the “Property Management Agreement”), the properties of CCT will, in general, be managed by CapitaLand Commercial Management Pte. Ltd. (the “Property Manager”). The Property Management Agreement provides that in respect of each property acquired by CCT, the Trustee, the Manager and the Property Manager will enter into a separate property management agreement in the form set out in a schedule to the Property Management Agreement, in order to incorporate the relevant terms of the Property Management Agreement.

If CCT acquires 1 George Street, 1 George Street will be managed by the Property Manager, and the Trustee, the Manager and the Property Manager will enter into a property management agreement in the form set out in a schedule to the Property Management Agreement (the “OGS PMA”). Under the terms of the OGS PMA, the Property Manager will be paid certain fees for property management, lease management and marketing services rendered in respect of 1 George Street (see paragraph 3.5 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details).

2 Interested Person Transaction and Interested Party Transaction As at 2 June 2008, being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this Circular (the “Latest Practicable Date”), CapitaLand Limited (“CapitaLand”) held an aggregate indirect interest of 423,799,901 Units, which is equivalent to approximately 30.6% of the total number of Units then in issue (“Existing Units”), and is therefore regarded as a “controlling Unitholder”1 of CCT under both the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST (the “Listing Manual”) and the Property Funds Guidelines.

CapitaLand has, through CCL, an indirect interest of 100% in the issued and paid-up share capital of the Vendor. For the purposes of Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual, the Vendor (being a subsidiary of a controlling Unitholder) is an “interested person” of CCT. For the purposes of the guidelines relating to interested party transactions under the Property Funds Guidelines, the Vendor (being a subsidiary of a controlling Unitholder) is an “interested party” of CCT.

Therefore, the Acquisition will constitute an “interested person transaction” under Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual as well as an “interested party transaction” under the Property Funds Guidelines, in respect of which the approval of Unitholders is required (see paragraph 3.8.2 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details).

Major Transaction The Acquisition also constitutes a “major transaction” by CCT under Chapter 10 of the Listing Manual (see paragraph 3.8.1 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details).

Rationale for the Proposed Acquisition The Manager believes that the Acquisition will bring the following key benefits to Unitholders:

Prime Landmark Office Building 1 George Street is a premier quality asset which will further enhance CCT’s existing portfolio of prime commercial properties. 1 George Street enjoys the following competitive strengths: (i) prominent location within the core of Singapore’s CBD; (ii) accessibility to major transport networks and within walking distance to Raffles Place Mass Rapid Transit (“MRT”) interchange station and Clarke Quay MRT station; (iii) one of the newest premier commercial properties in Singapore (1 George Street was completed only three years ago) with large column-free floor plates and state-of-the-art building specifications; and (iv) anchored by quality tenants with a 100.0% committed occupancy rate as at 1 May 2008.

Acquisition fits the Manager’s Investment Strategy The Acquisition is in line with the Manager’s principal investment strategy to invest in real estate and real estate-related assets which are yield-accretive and used or predominantly used for commercial purposes, with a focus on prime assets in strategic locations, premier building specifications and quality tenants so as to deliver stable distribution and sustainable total returns to the Unitholders.

This is also in line with the Manager’s stated target (announced in July 2006) to grow CCT’s total assets (“Deposited Property”) to S$6.0 billion by 2009. With the inclusion of 1 George Street, CCT’s Deposited Property will increase from approximately S$5.3 billion as at 31 December 2007 to approximately S$6.5 billion. This will further strengthen CCT’s position as the largest commercial REIT by total assets and market capitalisation in Singapore.

1 A person with an interest in one or more Units constituting not less than 15.0% of all outstanding Units.

3 Yield Accretion Unitholders will enjoy a higher distribution per Unit (“DPU”) as a result of the Acquisition. The minimum net property yield of 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration for 1 George Street is more than the average net property yield of CCT’s Grade A Offices of 3.6%1. Following the Acquisition and based on the assumptions outlined in Appendix B of this Circular, CCT’s DPU is expected to improve as follows: (i) from 5.45 cents to 5.63 cents (an increase of approximately 3.3%) for the financial period commencing from 1 July 2008 to 31 December 2008 (the “Forecast Period 2008”); and (ii) from 12.02 cents to 12.34 cents (an increase of approximately 2.7%) for the financial year ending 31 December 2009 (the “Projection Year 2009”). This expected increase in DPU will result from, among others, the acquisition of 1 George Street at an attractive price relative to the income stream from a good tenant base together with the Yield Protection provided by CCL.

Growth Potential from Rental Reversions in a Robust Singapore Office Market With more than 50.0% of 1 George Street’s existing leases due to expire in 2008 and 2009, the Manager believes that 1 George Street is in a good position to capitalise on the current buoyant Singapore office market. The current average passing rent for 1 George Street is significantly below the achieved rents of between S$18.00 to S$20.00 per sq ft per month for Grade A Office space within the Raffles Place micro-market in the first quarter of 2008 (see Appendix H — Singapore Property Market Reviews by the Independent Property Consultants), thereby presenting CCT with high growth potential from future rental reversions. In addition, CB Richard Ellis (Pte) Ltd (“CBRE”) expects Grade A Office and prime rents to stay fairly robust from 2010 to 2012 on the back of an expected healthy Singapore economy, with such rents generally expected to be within an estimated range of S$12.00 to S$15.00 per sq ft per month. Based on the assumptions for the profit forecast for 1 George Street as set out in Appendix B and assuming all leases expiring between 2010 and 2011 are renewed based on the forecast rental rate of S$12.00 to S$15.00 per sq ft per month, the net property yield in 2011 is projected to be 4.4% to 4.9% based on the Purchase Consideration, which is above the minimum 4.25% net property yield offered through the Yield Protection by CCL.

In addition, the Acquisition is augmented by the Yield Protection of 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration provided by CCL for a period of five years, commencing from the date of Completion and ending on the day immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of such date of Completion (which is expected to fall within 2013). The Acquisition, in conjunction with the Yield Protection, will allow CCT and its Unitholders to benefit from all the upside potential from rental reversions in 1 George Street while eliminating downside market rental risk during the Yield Protection Period.

Strengthen Focus in Prime Office Market Given 1 George Street’s premier Grade A quality, the Acquisition will be a valuable addition to CCT’s existing portfolio of prime commercial properties and strengthen CCT’s focus on premier office properties. The Acquisition will increase the Gross Rental Income2 (as defined herein) contribution from the Office Component (as defined herein) in CCT’s Existing Properties from 62.1% to 66.5%. This will reinforce CCT as one of the leading commercial REITs in Singapore with a prime focus on premier quality office space. In addition, the Acquisition will increase the Gross Rental Income2 contribution from CCT’s Grade A Offices, which currently comprises Capital Tower and 6 Battery Road, from 40.5% to 47.4%.

1 Based on the Net Property Income contribution for the Forecast Period 2008 and the valuation as at 1 December 2007 for Capital Tower and 6 Battery Road. 2 Based on the monthly Gross Rental Income as at 31 March 2008 for the Existing Properties (as defined herein) and the monthly Gross Rental Income as at 1 May 2008 for 1 George Street.

4 Enhance Tenant Base The Acquisition is expected to further enhance CCT’s tenant base with the addition of major tenants that include The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, WongPartnership LLP, Borouge Pte. Ltd., Lloyd’sof London (Asia) Pte Ltd and the Canadian High Commission. This will add to CCT’s existing core of blue chip tenants which include government agencies, financial institutions and multinational corporations.

Income Diversification The Acquisition is expected to benefit Unitholders by improving income diversification and reducing the reliance of CCT’s income stream on any single asset. Following the Acquisition, the maximum contribution to CCT’s Net Property Income by any single property within CCT’s property portfolio will decrease from approximately 36.9% to approximately 30.0% based on the Net Property Income contribution for the Forecast Period 2008.

Following the Acquisition, CCT’s top 10 committed tenants will contribute to 47.1% of CCT portfolio’s Gross Rental Income1 as compared to 53.2% before the Acquisition. The Manager is of the view that a wider tenant base will help diversify CCT’s Net Property Income.

Economies of Scale With the addition of 1 George Street to the Existing Properties (collectively, the “Enlarged Properties”), CCT will have a NLA of 302,885 sq m. This will benefit Unitholders in the long term due to economies of scale which the Manager and the Property Manager will enjoy through greater efficient allocation of resources including staff and personnel, and cost savings from bulk purchase synergies and dealings with service providers.

Method of Proposed Financing The Manager has put in place a range of committed funding for 100.0% of the Total Acquisition Cost. The Manager may finance the Acquisition through a combination of any of the following committed funding: (i) drawing down on all or a portion of the two-year secured term loan facility of up to S$700.0 million (the “Secured Term Loan”); (ii) using the proceeds from the issue of S$370.0 million of aggregate principal amount of bonds convertible into Units (the “Convertible Bonds”); (iii) using the proceeds from the issuance of notes from the S$1.0 billion Medium Term Notes Programme (the “MTN Programme”) including the S$150.0 million two-year fixed rate notes issued in March 2008; and (iv) drawing down on other short term loan facilities which CCT has put in place. (See paragraph 4 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details.)

1 Based on the monthly Gross Rental Income as at 31 March 2008 for the Existing Properties and the monthly Gross Rental Income as at 1 May 2008 for 1 George Street.

5 RESOLUTION 2: THE PROPOSED GENERAL MANDATE FOR THE ISSUE OF NEW UNITS AND/OR CONVERTIBLE SECURITIES The Manager proposes to seek approval from Unitholders for a general mandate to be given to the Manager for the issue of new Units and/or Convertible Securities in FY2008 such that the number of new Units (and/or Units into which the Convertible Securities may be converted) does not exceed 50.0% of the Base Figure, of which the aggregate number of new Units (and/or Units into which the Convertible Securities may be converted), where the Units and/or Convertible Securities are issued other than on a pro rata basis to existing Unitholders, must not be more than 20.0% of the Base Figure.

The Manager is of the view that the General Mandate will allow CCT to raise funds more expeditiously without the time and expense of convening extraordinary general meetings and to be more responsive in the acquisition of new properties in a competitive environment.

7 CAPITACOMMERCIAL TRUST (Constituted in the Republic of Singapore pursuant to a trust deed dated 6 February 2004 (as amended))

Directors of the Manager Registered Office Mr Richard Edward Hale (Chairman & Independent Director) 39 Robinson Road Mr Liew Mun Leong (Deputy Chairman) #18-01 Robinson Point Ms Lynette Leong Chin Yee (Chief Executive Officer) Singapore 068911 Mr Stewart Fraser Ewen OAM (Independent Director) Mr Fong Kwok Jen (Independent Director) Mr Ho Swee Huat (Independent Director) Mr Kee Teck Koon Mr Olivier Lim Tse Ghow Mr Wen Khai Meng 9 June 2008

To: Unitholders of CapitaCommercial Trust

Dear Sir/Madam

1. SUMMARY OF APPROVALS SOUGHT The following paragraphs set forth a summary of the approvals which the Manager seeks from Unitholders. Approval by way of an Ordinary Resolution (as defined herein) is required in respect of resolutions relating to the Acquisition (Resolution 1) and the General Mandate (Resolution 2).

1.1 Resolution 1: The Proposed Acquisition (Ordinary Resolution)

1.1.1 The Proposed Acquisition CapitaLand held an aggregate indirect interest of 423,799,901 Units, which is equivalent to approximately 30.6% of the total number of Units in issue, as at the Latest Practicable Date, and is therefore regarded as a “controlling Unitholder” of CCT under both the Listing Manual and the Property Funds Guidelines.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, CapitaLand has, through CCL, an indirect interest of 100.0% in the issued and paid-up share capital of the Vendor. For the purposes of Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual, the Vendor (being a subsidiary of a controlling Unitholder) is an “interested person” of CCT. For the purposes of the guidelines relating to interested party transactions under the Property Funds Guidelines, the Vendor (being a subsidiary of a controlling Unitholder) is an “interested party” of CCT.

Therefore, the Acquisition will constitute an “interested person transaction” under Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual as well as an “interested party transaction” under the Property Funds Guidelines.

Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual requires, among others, approval of Unitholders for an “interested person transaction” if the value thereof equals to or exceeds 5.0% of CCT’s latest audited net tangible assets (“NTA”). Paragraph 5 of the Property Funds Guidelines imposes a similar requirement for an “interested party transaction” whose value equals to or exceeds 5.0% of CCT’s latest audited net asset value (“NAV”).

Approval of the Unitholders is sought because the Purchase Consideration in connection with the Acquisition exceeds both the aforementioned thresholds stated in Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual and paragraph 5 of the Property Funds Guidelines.

8 In compliance with the requirements of the Listing Manual and the Property Funds Guidelines, the Manager is therefore seeking Unitholders’ approval for the Acquisition. By approving the Acquisition, Unitholders will be deemed to also have approved the principal terms of the Sale and Purchase Agreement (as set out in paragraph 3.2), the Deed of Yield Protection (as set out in paragraph 3.4) and all documents which are required to be executed by the Parties in order to give effect to the provisions of the Sale and Purchase Agreement or in order to facilitate Completion.

The Acquisition also constitutes a “major transaction” by CCT under Chapter 10 of the Listing Manual.

(See paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 below for further details about the proposed Acquisition.)

1.1.2. Abstention from Voting CapitaLand will abstain, and will ensure that E-Pavilion Pte. Ltd., SBR Private Limited and the Manager (which are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of CapitaLand) will abstain, from voting at the EGM on the resolution relating to the Acquisition.

(See paragraph 8 below for further details about the abstention from voting.)

1.2 Resolution 2: The Proposed General Mandate for the Issue of New Units and/or Convertible Securities (Ordinary Resolution) The Manager is seeking Unitholders’ approval for the General Mandate so that the Manager may issue new Units and/or Convertible Securities in FY2008, such that the number of new Units (and/or Units into which the Convertible Securities may be converted) does not exceed 50.0% of the Base Figure of which the aggregate number of new Units (and/or Units into which the Convertible Securities may be converted), where the Units and/or the Convertible Securities are issued other than on a pro rata basis to existing Unitholders, must not be more than 20.0% of the Base Figure.

(See paragraph 5 below for further details about the General Mandate.)

2. THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION AND ITS RATIONALE

2.1 Description of 1 George Street 1 George Street is a three-year old 23-storey premier Grade A Office building prominently located in the core of Singapore’s CBD within the Raffles Place micro-market, along George Street and near the junction of South Bridge Road and Pickering Street. 1 George Street comprises office units from the 7th to 23rd storeys, retail units on the 1st and 5th storeys, a gymnasium on the 5th storey, 178 car park lots and four sky gardens located on the 5th, 12th, 15th and 22nd storeys. 1 George Street has a NLA of 41,621 sq m and a committed occupancy rate of 100.0% as at 1 May 2008.

1 George Street was completed in December 2004 and is one of the newest premier commercial properties in Singapore with state-of-the-art building specifications designed to suit tenants in the financial services industry and also multinational companies. Its major tenants include The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, WongPartnership LLP, Borouge Pte. Ltd., Lloyd’s of London (Asia) Pte Ltd and the Canadian High Commission.

(See Appendix A of this Circular for further details about 1 George Street.)

9 2.2 Rationale for the Acquisition The Manager believes that the Acquisition will bring the following key benefits to Unitholders:

2.2.1 Prime Landmark Office Building 1 George Street is a premier quality asset which will further enhance CCT’s existing portfolio of prime commercial properties. 1 George Street enjoys the following competitive strengths: (i) prominent location within the core of Singapore’s CBD; (ii) accessibility to major transport networks and within walking distance to Raffles Place MRT interchange station and Clarke Quay MRT station; (iii) one of the newest premier commercial properties in Singapore (1 George Street was completed only three years ago). Its large column-free floor plates and state-of-the-art building specifications are designed to suit tenants in the financial services industry and multinational companies. In addition, the building is structurally designed to allow future extension floors, which eliminates the need to demolish and rebuild in future; and (iv) 1 George Street is anchored by quality tenants with a 100.0% committed occupancy rate as at 1 May 2008. The stable and sustainable income stream from 1 George Street is expected to complement and enhance CCT’s current property portfolio.

2.2.2 Acquisition fits the Manager’s Investment Strategy The Acquisition is in line with the Manager’s principal investment strategy to invest in real estate and real estate-related assets which are yield-accretive and used or predominantly used for commercial purposes, with a focus on prime assets in strategic locations, premier building specifications and quality tenants so as to deliver stable distribution and sustainable total returns to the Unitholders.

It is also in line with the Manager’s stated target (announced in July 2006) to grow CCT’s Deposited Property to S$6.0 billion by 2009. With the inclusion of 1 George Street, CCT’s Deposited Property will increase from approximately S$5.3 billion as at 31 December 2007 to approximately S$6.5 billion. This will further strengthen CCT’s position as the largest commercial REIT by total assets and market capitalisation in Singapore.

10 CCT was first listed on the SGX-ST in May 2004, and the initial seven properties in the portfolio were Capital Tower, 6 Battery Road, Starhub Centre, Robinson Point, Bugis Village, Golden Shoe Car Park and Market Street Car Park. Since then, CCT has successfully completed six yield-accretive acquisitions and value-added investments as set out in the table below:

Asset Properties Date of Value(1) Acquired/Investments Acquisition/Investments (S$ Million) HSBC Building April 2005 147.0 100.0% investment in Junior Bonds of April 2006 19.7 Aragorn ABS Berhad (“Aragorn”)(2) 60.0% interest in Raffles City Singapore(3) September 2006 1,299.6 30.0% interest in Quill Capita Trust (“QCT”) January 2007 & 58.8 August 2007 7.4% interest in Malaysia Commercial N.A. 30.5(4) Development Fund Pte. Ltd. (“MCDF”) Wilkie Edge November 2007 182.7(5)

Notes: (1) Based on the purchase price of the asset or investment. (2) The Junior Bonds have been fully redeemed on 3 October 2007. (3) This is held through RCS Trust, a joint ownership vehicle in the form of an unlisted special purpose sub-trust constituted by a trust deed with CCT holding an interest of 60.0% and CapitaMall Trust (“CMT”) holding the remaining 40.0%. (4) Committed investment. (5) Wilkie Edge is under development and is expected to be completed by the end of 2008. In the event the agreement for lease with Ascott Scotts Pte. Ltd. is annulled or terminated, the purchase price (including the serviced apartments component) will be S$262.0 million. Ascott Scotts Pte. Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Ascott Group Limited, which in turn is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CapitaLand.

As set out in the table below, the CCT’s Deposited Property is approximately S$5.3 billion as at 31 December 2007. After the completion of the Acquisition, the total Deposited Property of CCT will increase to approximately S$6.5 billion.

(S$ Million) CCT’s Deposited Property as at 31 December 2007 5,278.7 Add: Total Acquisition Cost 1,180.2 CCT’s Deposited Property after the Acquisition 6,458.9

2.2.3 Yield Accretion Unitholders will enjoy a higher DPU as a result of the Acquisition. The minimum net property yield of 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration for 1 George Street is more than the average net property yield of CCT’s Grade A Offices of 3.6%1.

Based on the Manager’s forecast, the Acquisition will generate an annualised property yield of not less than 4.25% for the Forecast Period 2008 and not less than 4.25% for the Projection Year 2009, after taking into account the Yield Protection.

1 Based on the Net Property Income forecast for the Forecast Period 2008 and the valuation as at 1 December 2007 for Capital Tower and 6 Battery Road.

11 To illustrate the overall yield-accretive nature of the Acquisition, combined with the issue of the Convertible Bonds, the draw down of the Secured Term Loan, the proceeds from the MTN Programme and the short term loan facilities, the table below shows CCT’s forecast and projected DPU in relation to: (i) Capital Tower, 6 Battery Road, HSBC Building, Starhub Centre, Robinson Point, Bugis Village, Golden Shoe Car Park, Market Street Car Park, the 60.0% interest in Raffles City Singapore and Wilkie Edge (collectively, the “Existing Properties”) and CCT’s 30.0% interest in QCT and CCT’s 7.4% interest in MCDF (together with the Existing Properties, the “Existing Portfolio”); and (ii) the Existing Portfolio with 1 George Street (the “Enlarged Portfolio”), for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 based on the assumption that: (a) an aggregate principal amount of S$370.0 million for the Convertible Bonds issued at a conversion price of S$2.6762 for each new Unit; and (b) the Manager’s management fee (the “Management Fee”) and the Acquisition Fee for 1 George Street is paid in the form of Units, in the following scenarios: (A) Scenario A: the Convertible Bonds issued are not converted into Units (“Conversion Units”) during the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009; and (B) Scenario B: the Convertible Bonds issued are fully converted into Conversion Units on 21 May 2008, being the commencement date of the conversion period.

Forecast and Projected DPU(1) (assuming that CCT’s aggregate leverage (“Aggregate Leverage”) is increased to approximately 37.6% after Completion)

Forecast Period 2008 Projection Year 2009 (1 July 2008 to (Financial Year ending 31 December 2008) 31 December 2009) Existing Enlarged Existing Enlarged Portfolio Portfolio Portfolio Portfolio Scenario A DPU (cents) 5.45(2) 5.63 12.02(2) 12.34 DPU — 0.18 — 0.32 increase over Existing Portfolio Scenario B DPU (cents) 4.96(2) 5.36 10.93(2) 11.71 DPU — 0.40 — 0.78 increase over Existing Portfolio

Notes: (1) For the computation of DPU, the total number of Units issued includes the Existing Units and the Units issued for the acquisition fee and the management fee for RCS Trust, Wilkie Edge and 1 George Street. (2) In the event the Acquisition is not approved by Unitholders, CCT will still incur interest on the Convertible Bonds and the S$150.0 million MTN that were issued for the Acquisition. In such event, the DPU for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 will be 5.23 cents and 12.14 cents under Scenario A and 4.75 cents and 11.04 cents under Scenario B respectively.

This expected increase in DPU will result from, among others, the acquisition of 1 George Street at an attractive price relative to the income stream from a good tenant base together with the Yield Protection provided by CCL.

12 2.2.4 Growth Potential from Rental Reversions in a Robust Singapore Office Market The Singapore office market is expected to remain strong in 2008. According to CBRE’s Singapore Property Market Review, the average occupancy rate in the Raffles Place area, the micro-market in which 1 George Street is located, is 98.1% as at the end of the first quarter of 2008, the highest since 2001. The office leasing market is likely to remain active in 2008, with deals being dominated by the banking and financial sector. Supply of office space, on the other hand, will remain fairly inelastic until 2010, which will continue to drive rental growth over the next two to three years. Prime office rents are expected to reach a projected average of S$17.00 per sq ft per month, while average Grade A Office rents would likely be in the region of S$19.00 per sq ft per month at end-2008. CBRE also projects that the average prime and Grade A Office rents would rise further to S$17.50 per sq ft per month and S$20.00 per sq ft per month respectively by end-2009.

With more than 50.0% of 1 George Street’s existing leases due to expire in 2008 and 2009, the Manager believes that 1 George Street is in a good position to capitalise on the current buoyant Singapore office market. The current average passing rent for 1 George Street is significantly below the achieved rents of between S$18.00 to S$20.00 per sq ft per month for Grade A Office space within the Raffles Place micro-market in the first quarter of 2008 (see Appendix H — Singapore Property Market Reviews by the Independent Property Consultants), thereby presenting CCT with high growth potential from future rental reversions. In addition, CBRE expects Grade A Office and prime rents to stay fairly robust from 2010 to 2012 on the back of an expected healthy Singapore economy, with such rents generally expected to be within an estimated range of S$12.00 to S$15.00 per sq ft per month. Based on the assumptions for the profit forecast for 1 George Street as set out in Appendix B and assuming all leases expiring between 2010 and 2011 are renewed based on the forecast rental rate of S$12.00 to S$15.00 per sq ft per month, the net property yield in 2011 is projected to be 4.4% to 4.9% based on the Purchase Consideration, which is above the minimum 4.25% net property yield offered through the Yield Protection by CCL.

The chart below shows the leases which are expiring at 1 George Street by percentage of monthly Gross Rental Income from 2008 to 2010 and the weighted average gross rental rate per sq ft per month as at 1 May 2008, compared to the Grade A Office rent in the first quarter of 2008 reported by CBRE.

60.0% Achieved Grade A Office rent in Raffles Place micro-market: S$18.00 -S$20.00 per sq ft per month S$20.00 50.0% S$18.00 S$16.00 40.0% S$14.00 32.0% 30.2% S$12.00 30.0% S$10.00 18.6% S$8.00 20.0% $6.60 $5.56 $5.88 S$6.00 10.0% S$4.00 S$2.00

13 In addition, the Acquisition is augmented by the Yield Protection of 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration provided by CCL for a period of five years, commencing from the date of Completion and ending on the day immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of such date of Completion (which is expected to fall within 2013). The Acquisition, in conjunction with the Yield Protection, will allow CCT and Unitholders to benefit from all the upside potential from rental reversions in 1 George Street while eliminating downside market risk during the Yield Protection Period.

2.2.5 Strengthen Focus in Prime Office Market Given 1 George Street’s premier Grade A quality, the Acquisition will be a valuable addition to CCT’s existing portfolio of prime commercial properties and strengthen CCT’s focus on premier office properties. The Acquisition will increase the Gross Rental Income1 contribution from the Office Component in CCT’s Existing Properties from 62.1% to 66.5%. This will reinforce CCT as one of the leading commercial REITs in Singapore with a prime focus on premier quality office space.

14 2.2.6 Enhance Tenant Base The Acquisition is expected to further enhance CCT’s tenant base with the addition of major tenants that include The Royal Bank of Scotland PLC, WongPartnership LLP, Borouge Pte. Ltd., Lloyd’s of London (Asia) Pte Ltd and the Canadian High Commission. This will add to CCT’s existing core of blue chip tenants which include government agencies, financial institutions and multinational corporations such as Government of Singapore Investment Corporation Private Limited, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Standard Chartered Bank, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Cisco Systems (USA) Pte. Ltd., StarHub Ltd., the CapitaLand Group, Nomura Singapore Limited and the Economic Development Board.

2.2.7 Income Diversification The Acquisition is expected to benefit Unitholders by improving income diversification and reducing the reliance of CCT’s income stream on any single asset. Following the Acquisition, the maximum contribution to CCT’s Net Property Income by any single property within CCT’s property portfolio will decrease from approximately 36.9% to approximately 30.0% based on the Net Property Income contribution for the Forecast Period 2008.

The table below sets out the contribution of each property to CCT’s Net Property Income for the Forecast Period 2008.

Net Property Income Contribution for the Forecast Period 2008 Properties(1) Before the Acquisition After the Acquisition Raffles City Singapore(2) 36.9% 30.0% 6 Battery Road 28.7% 23.3% Capital Tower 12.5% 10.2% Starhub Centre 6.0% 4.9% Robinson Point 4.2% 3.4% HSBC Building 4.1% 3.3% Bugis Village 3.6% 2.9% Golden Shoe Car Park 3.5% 2.9% Market Street Car Park 0.5% 0.4% 1 George Street — 18.7% Total 100.0% 100.0%

Notes: (1) Excludes Wilkie Edge, a property under development. (2) Based on CCT’s 60.0% interest in Raffles City Singapore.

Following the Acquisition, CCT’s top 10 committed tenants will contribute to 47.1% of CCT portfolio’s Gross Rental Income1 as compared to 53.2% before the Acquisition. The Manager is of the view that a wider tenant base will help diversify CCT’s Net Property Income.

1 Based on the monthly Gross Rental Income as at 31 March 2008 for the Existing Properties and the monthly Gross Rental Income as at 1 May 2008 for 1 George Street.

15 2.2.8 Economies of Scale With the addition of 1 George Street to the Existing Properties, CCT will have NLA of 302,885 sq m. This will benefit Unitholders in the long term due to economies of scale which the Manager and the Property Manager will enjoy through greater efficient allocation of resources including staff and personnel, and cost savings from bulk purchase synergies and dealings with service providers.

3. DETAILS OF THE ACQUISITION

3.1 The Call Option Agreement On 26 March 2008, the Trustee entered into the Call Option Agreement with the Vendor, wherein the Vendor granted the Trustee a Call Option for the Acquisition. The right to exercise the Call Option is conditional upon CCT obtaining the approval of its Unitholders for the Acquisition (“Unitholders Approval”) at an EGM which the Trustee shall, following the recommendation of the Manager, use its best endeavours to convene by 30 June 2008, but in any event no later than 31 July 2008.

Pursuant to the Call Option Agreement, the Trustee and the Vendor have negotiated in good faith with each other on arms’ length commercial terms and have finalised the terms and conditions of: (i) the sale and purchase agreement in respect of the Acquisition (the “Sale and Purchase Agreement”) and all other agreements or documents required to give effect to the Sale and Purchase Agreement and facilitate the completion of the Acquisition; (ii) a disclosure letter to be executed by the Vendor in favour of the Trustee; and (iii) the Deed of Yield Protection.

The Call Option may only be exercised during the period commencing between the date on which Unitholders Approval for the Acquisition is obtained and ending at 5.00 p.m. on the date falling three business days thereafter (or such other date as may be agreed by the Trustee and the Vendor in writing). The Trustee is required to give written notice to the Vendor when CCT has obtained the Unitholders Approval at the EGM for the Acquisition, and such written notice (“Fulfilment Notice”) shall be given no later than 5.00 p.m. on the date falling three business days after the Unitholders Approval is obtained (“Fulfilment Date”).

Apart from the Acquisition Fee which will be paid in the form of Units, the rest of the Total Acquisition Cost will be paid in cash. The Acquisition Fee will be payable as soon as practicable after the Completion.

3.7 Pro Forma Financial Effects of the Acquisition The pro forma financial effects of the Acquisition on the DPU and NAV per Unit presented below are strictly for illustrative purposes and were prepared based on the audited financial statements of the CCT Group for the financial year ended 31 December 2007 (the “CCT Audited Financial Statements”) as well as the audited financial statement of the Vendor for the financial year ended 31 December 2007, taking into account the Total Acquisition Cost, and assuming that: (i) an additional borrowing of S$1,185.2 million is incurred by CCT to fully finance the Acquisition and debt issuance expenses, increasing CCT’s Aggregate Leverage to 37.6%; (ii) the Acquisition is made with 100.0% of the income from 1 George Street accruing to CCT from 1 January 2007 and the Yield Protection of a minimum Net Property Income of S$49,512,500 per annum, which is equal to 4.25% per annum of Purchase Consideration being in place from 1 January 2007; and (iii) the Management Fee and the Acquisition Fee for 1 George Street are paid in the form of Units.

19 3.7.1 Pro Forma DPU The pro forma financial effects of the Acquisition on CCT’s DPU for the financial year ended 31 December 2007, as if CCT had purchased 1 George Street on 1 January 2007, and held and operated 1 George Street through to 31 December 2007, are as follows:

(3) The lower Net Income before tax after the Acquisition is due to the effect of amortisation of the premium relating to the issue of the Convertible Bonds which have no impact on distributable income. Excluding the effect of this, the Net Income before tax will be S$105.0 million. (4) Includes approximately 5.8 million Units issued as payment of the Acquisition Fee, as well as approximately 0.6 million Units issued as payment of the Management Fee for the financial year ended 31 December 2007, based on an assumed issue price of S$2.00 per Unit.

3.8 Requirement of Unitholders’ Approval

3.8.1 Major Transaction (i) Chapter 10 of the Listing Manual governs the acquisition or disposal of assets, including options to acquire or dispose of assets, by CCT. Such transactions are classified into the following categories: (a) non-discloseable transactions; (b) discloseable transactions; (c) major transactions; and (d) very substantial acquisitions or reverse takeovers. (ii) A proposed acquisition by CCT may fall into any of the categories set out in sub-paragraph 3.8.1(i) above depending on the size of the relative figures computed on the following bases of comparison: (a) the net profits attributable to the assets acquired, compared with CCT’s net profits; (b) the aggregate value of the consideration given, compared with CCT’s market capitalisation; and (c) the number of Units issued by CCT as consideration for an acquisition, compared with the number of Units previously in issue.

21 Where any of the relative figures computed on the bases set out above exceeds 20.0%, the transaction is classified as a major transaction. The Listing Manual requires that a major transaction involving CCT be made conditional upon approval by Unitholders in a general meeting. However, the approval of Unitholders is not required in the case of an acquisition of profitable assets if only sub-paragraph 3.8.1(ii)(a) exceeds the relevant 20.0% threshold.

The relative figure of the number of Units issued by CCT as consideration for an acquisition compared with the number of Units previously in issue does not apply in relation to the Acquisition as no Units will be issued as consideration for the Acquisition. (iii) The relative figures for the Acquisition using the applicable bases of comparison described in sub-paragraphs 3.8.1(ii)(a) to 3.8.1(ii)(b) are set out in the table below.

The Relative Comparison of: Acquisition CCT Figure (%) Profits (S$ Million) 18.5(1) 110.1(2) 16.8 Consideration against market 1,165.0 2,831.8(3) 41.1 capitalisation (S$ Million)

Notes: (1) Based on the adjusted net profit attributed to 1 George Street as extracted from the Vendor’s audited financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2007, the adjusted net profit is derived from the earnings from 1 George Street before interest costs, income tax, depreciation and amortisation. (2) Based on CCT’s audited net income for the financial year ended 31 December 2007 and the net profit for CCT, represented by Net Income after borrowing costs and trust expenses. (3) Based on the volume weighted average price of S$2.044 per Unit on the SGX-ST on 25 March 2008 being the market day preceding the entry into of the Call Option Agreement.

3.8.2 Interested Person Transaction and Interested Party Transaction Under Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual, where CCT proposes to enter into a transaction with an interested person and the value of the transaction (either in itself or when aggregated with the value of other transactions, each of a value equal to or greater than S$100,000, with the same interested person during the same financial year) is equal to or exceeds 5.0% of CCT’s latest audited NTA, Unitholders’ approval is required in respect of the transaction. Based on the CCT Audited Financial Statements, the NTA of CCT was S$3,937.6 million as at 31 December 2007. Accordingly, if the value of a transaction which is proposed to be entered into in the current financial year by CCT with an interested person is, either in itself or in aggregation with all other earlier transactions (each of a value equal to or greater than S$100,000) entered into with the same interested person during the current financial year, equal to or in excess of S$196.9 million (which is 5.0% of CCT’s latest audited NTA), such a transaction would be subject to Unitholders’ approval. Given the Purchase Consideration of S$1,165.0 million, the value of the Acquisition exceeds the said threshold.

Paragraph 5 of the Property Funds Guidelines also imposes a requirement for Unitholders’ approval for an interested party transaction by CCT whose value exceeds 5.0% of CCT’s latest audited NAV. Based on the CCT Audited Financial Statements, the NAV of CCT was S$3,937.6 million as at 31 December 2007. Accordingly, if the value of a transaction which is proposed to be entered into by CCT with an interested party is equal to or greater than S$196.9 million (which is 5.0% of CCT’s latest audited NTA), such a transaction would be subject to Unitholders’ approval. Given the Purchase Consideration of S$1,165.0 million, the value of the Acquisition exceeds the said threshold.

22 As at the Latest Practicable Date, CapitaLand held an aggregate indirect interest of 423,799,901 Units, which is equivalent to approximately 30.6% of the total number of Units in issue, as at the Latest Practicable Date, and is therefore regarded as a “controlling Unitholder” of CCT under both the Listing Manual and the Property Funds Guidelines.

CapitaLand has, through CCL, an indirect interest of 100% in the issued and paid-up share capital of the Vendor. For the purposes of Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual, the Vendor (being a subsidiary of a controlling Unitholder) is an “interested person” of CCT. For the purposes of the guidelines relating to interested party transactions under the Property Funds Guidelines, the Vendor (being a subsidiary of a controlling Unitholder) is an “interested party” of CCT.

Therefore, the Acquisition will constitute an “interested person transaction” under Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual as well as an “interested party transaction” under the Property Funds Guidelines.

Prior to the Latest Practicable Date, CCT had entered into several interested person transactions with, among others, entities within the CapitaLand Group and entities within Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Temasek Group”) during the course of the current financial year (the “Existing Interested Person Transactions”). Details of the Existing Interested Person Transactions, which are subject of aggregation pursuant to Rule 906 of the SGX-ST Listing Manual, may be found in Appendix F of this Circular.

3.9 Advice of the Independent Financial Adviser Under Rule 917(4)(b) of the Listing Manual, an opinion from an independent financial adviser is not required for an interested person transaction if the transaction involves the purchase of real property and if (i) the consideration for the purchase or sale is in cash, (ii) an independent professional valuation has been obtained for the purpose of the purchase of the property and (iii) the valuation of such property is disclosed in the circular. Accordingly, as the consideration for the Acquisition is in cash and independent valuations have been obtained for the Acquisition and are disclosed in the Circular, a letter from an independent financial adviser is strictly not required, notwithstanding that the Acquisition is an interested person transaction.

However, for purposes of good corporate governance and to ensure that there is an independent analysis of the Acquisition, the Manager has appointed an independent financial adviser to review the Acquisition.

Accordingly, the Manager has appointed ANZ Singapore Limited as the Independent Financial Adviser to advise the independent directors of the Manager (the “Independent Directors”)1,the audit committee of the Manager (the “Audit Committee”)2 and the Trustee in relation to the Acquisition. A copy of the non-mandatory letter from the IFA to the Independent Directors, the Audit Committee and the Trustee (the “Non-Mandatory IFA Letter”), containing its advice in full, is set out in Appendix E of this Circular and Unitholders are advised to read the Non-Mandatory IFA Letter carefully.

1 The Independent Directors, being Mr Richard Edward Hale, Mr Stewart Fraser Ewen OAM, Mr Fong Kwok Jen and Mr Ho Swee Huat. However, Mr Richard Edward Hale is abstaining from taking part in any decisions or recommendations relating to the Acquisition as he is also a director of CapitaLand. 2 The Audit Committee, being Mr Stewart Fraser Ewen OAM, Mr Fong Kwok Jen, Mr Ho Swee Huat and Mr Olivier Lim Tse Ghow. However, Mr Olivier Lim Tse Ghow is abstaining from taking part in any decisions relating to the Acquisition as he is also a senior executive of CapitaLand.

23 Having considered the factors and made the assumptions set out in the Non-Mandatory IFA Letter, and subject to the qualifications set out therein from a financial point of view, the IFA is of the opinion that the Acquisition and the Deed of Yield Protection are based on normal commercial terms and are not prejudicial to the interests of CCT and its minority Unitholders.

From a financial point of view, the IFA is of the opinion that the Independent Directors can recommend that Unitholders vote in favour of the Acquisition to be proposed at the EGM.

3.10 Interests of Directors and Controlling Unitholders As at the Latest Practicable Date, certain directors of CapitaLand collectively (including Mr Liew Mun Leong) collectively hold an aggregate direct and indirect interest of 310,000 Units.

Certain Directors of the Manager, namely Mr Liew Mun Leong, Ms Lynette Leong Chin Yee and Mr Olivier Lim Tse Ghow collectively hold an aggregate direct interest in 226,000 Units.

Mr Liew Mun Leong is the President and Chief Executive Officer of CapitaLand and is also the Deputy Chairman and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Manager. Mr Richard Edward Hale is a director of CapitaLand and also the Chairman and Independent Director of the Manager. Each of Mr Kee Teck Koon, Mr Olivier Lim Tse Ghow and Mr Wen Khai Meng is a senior executive within the CapitaLand Group. Further details of the interests in Units of Directors and Substantial Unitholders of CCT are set out at Appendix G of this Circular.

Through E-Pavilion Pte. Ltd., SBR Private Limited and the Manager, CapitaLand has an indirect interest of 423,799,901 Units (comprising approximately 30.6% of the Existing Units) as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Save as disclosed above and based on information available to the Manager as at the Latest Practicable Date, none of the directors of the Manager or the Controlling Unitholders has an interest, direct or indirect, in the Acquisition.

3.11 Directors’ Service Contracts No person is proposed to be appointed as a director of the Manager in connection with the Acquisition, the Call Option Agreement, the Sale and Purchase Agreement, the Deed of Yield Protection or any other transactions contemplated in relation to the Acquisition.

4. METHOD OF PROPOSED FINANCING

4.1 The Proposed Financing Plan The Manager has put in place committed funding for 100.0% of the Total Acquisition Cost. The Manager may finance the Acquisition through a combination of any of the following committed funding (i) the Secured Term Loan, (ii) the proceeds from the issue of S$370.0 million of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Bonds, (iii) the proceeds from the MTN Programme and (iv) drawing down on the other short-term loan facilities which CCT has put in place.

(i) Secured Term Loan The Manager has obtained a two-year secured term loan facility of up to S$700.0 million.

(ii) Convertible Bonds In May 2008, CCT issued S$370.0 million of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Bonds, which includes the additional S$90.0 million of Convertible Bonds issued under the over-allotment option.

24 The Convertible Bonds are convertible into Units at the election of the bondholders, at any time on or after 21 May 2008 up to 3.00 p.m. on 21 April 2013.

The conversion price is S$2.6762 for each new Unit which represents a 23.9% premium over the closing price of the Units on the SGX-ST on 1 April 2008.

The Trustee has the option to pay cash in lieu of issuing new Units on conversion of any Convertible Bond. The cash settlement amount will be based on the volume weighted average price of the Units on the SGX-ST for the 10 trading days after the Trustee gives notice of its intention to exercise the cash settlement option. Unless previously redeemed, converted or purchased and cancelled, the Convertible Bonds will be redeemed at 110.66% of their principal amount on the final redemption date. Holders of the Convertible Bonds may require the Trustee to repurchase all their Convertible Bonds at a price equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Bonds being redeemed, together with any accrued but unpaid interest accrued to the date of redemption, in certain specified events, including but not limited to a change of control or a delisting of the Units. All or a portion of the Convertible Bonds may be redeemed by the Trustee on or at any time after 6 May 2011 until the seventh business day preceding the final redemption date, if the closing price of the Units (as quoted on the SGX-ST) over the prescribed period is at least 130.0% of the early redemption amount divided by the conversion ratio. The redemption price will be equal to the principal amount of the Convertible Bonds being redeemed, together with any accrued but unpaid interest accrued to the date of redemption. The Convertible Bonds will constitute direct, unsubordinated, unconditional and unsecured obligations of the Trustee and shall at all times rank pari passu without preference or priority among themselves. The Convertible Bonds are listed on the SGX-ST.

The proceeds of the Convertible Bonds have been earmarked to part finance the Acquisition, if Unitholders approve the Acquisition.

(iii) MTN Programme and Additional Borrowings from CCT’s Existing Loan Facilities The Manager has in place the MTN Programme and additional facilities and the Manager may utilise any one or a combination of any of the MTN Programme and the additional facilities to finance the Acquisition.

CCT, through its subsidiary, CCT MTN Pte. Ltd. has established a S$1.0 billion MTN Programme. At the Latest Practicable Date, S$250.0 million of fixed rate notes has been issued as summarised in the table below. These S$250.0 million fixed rate notes are all rated Baa1 by Moody’s.

Series Term Commencement Maturity Series 1: S$100.0 million Three years January 2008 January 2011 Series 2: S$150.0 million Two years March 2008 March 2010

25 As at the Latest Practicable Date, S$150.0 million of the proceeds from these issues are retained as cash in CCT to part finance the Acquisition. The Manager intends to raise more funds through new issuance from the MTN Programme.

In addition to the MTN Programme, CCT has put in place bank loan facilities amounting to S$206.0 million (the “Loan Facilities”). As at the Latest Practicable date, a sum of S$109.7 million has been drawn down from the Loan Facilities to part finance CCT’s acquisition of HSBC Building and Wilkie Edge and issuance of letters of guarantee.

Also CCT has in place S$580.0 million loan facilities (the “Silver Loft Loan Facilities”) granted by Silver Loft Investment Corporation Limited (“Silver Loft”), a special purpose company, which was funded by rated commercial mortgage-backed securities issued by Silver Loft. These commercial mortgage-backed securities have been rated AAA, AA and A or their equivalent by Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, Inc. and Moody’s.

The Silver Loft Loan Facilities comprise (i) a five-year term loan of S$153.3 million, (ii) a five-year callable loan facility of S$250.3 million, (iii) a five-year fixed rate term loan of S$80.0 million, and (iv) a five-year fixed rate term loan of S$96.4 million. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Silver Loft Loan Facilities have been fully drawn down.

RCS Trust, of which CCT has a 60.0% stake, currently has in place term loan facilities amounting to S$866.0 million and a revolving credit facility amounting to S$164.0 million (the “Silver Oak Facilities”) granted by Silver Oak Ltd. (“Silver Oak”), a special purpose company. The term loan facilities were funded by rated commercial mortgage- backed securities issued by Silver Oak.

The Silver Oak Loan Facilities comprise (i) a five-year fixed rate term loan S$670.0 million, (ii) a five-year fixed rate term loan of S$60.0 million, (iii) a five-year fixed rate term loan of S$136.0 million, and (iv) a revolving credit facility of S$164.0 million. These commercial mortgage-backed securities have been rated AAA and AA or their equivalent by Standard & Poor’s (only for the five-year fixed rate term loan of S$670.0 million), Fitch, Inc. and Moody’s. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the term loan facilities of S$866.0 million have been fully drawn down and S$16.0 million of the revolving credit facility has been drawn down.

26 4.2 Aggregate Leverage The table below sets out in general the value of CCT’s Deposited Property as at 31 December 2007.

Value Property/Investment (S$ Million) Capital Tower(1) 1,224.0 6 Battery Road(1) 1,249.0 HSBC Building(1) 270.0 60.0% interest in Raffles City Singapore(1) 1,551.6 Starhub Centre(1) 350.0 Robinson Point(1) 218.0 Bugis Village(1) 72.4 Golden Shoe Car Park(1) 114.0 Market Street Car Park(1) 61.0 Wilkie Edge(2) 54.9 Sub-Total 5,164.9 30.0% interest in QCT(3) 64.6 7.4% interest in MCDF(3) 7.8 Sub-Total 72.4 Others(4) 41.4 Aggregate for the Existing Portfolio 5,278.7

Notes: (1) Based on the valuations dated 1 December 2007 conducted by CBRE, an independent valuer. (2) Based on the progress payments made till 31 December 2007. (3) Based on the amount of capital injected as at 31 December 2007. (4) This refers to the other assets in CCT’s Deposited Property as at 31 December 2007 which includes, but is not limited to cash and cash equivalent items.

Based on CCT’s new Deposited Property of approximately S$6.5 billion (which takes into account the value of 1 George Street), the debt incurred for the financing of the Acquisition is expected to increase CCT’s Aggregate Leverage to approximately 37.6%.

4.3 Corporate Rating Moody’s has assigned a corporate family rating of “A3” to CCT, reflecting its leading market position, strong franchise in the office segment as well as the high quality of its assets providing stable cash flow. On 28 March 2008, Moody’s placed CCT’s “A3” rating on the watch list for a possible downgrade following its announcements that it has been granted a call option to purchase 1 George Street. Moody’s had cited their action was based on concern that CCT’s intent to finance the Acquisition fully through debt, should the Acquisition be approved by Unitholders, could lead to an increase in CCT’s Aggregate Leverage and potentially weaken its financial metrics. However, Moody’s also pointed out that CCT’s ability to line up enough debt funding in the first place “speaks of its ability to maintain access amid a weak credit environment”, and that buying 1 George Street would enhance the “asset quality and income diversity” of CCT. As at the Latest Practicable Date, CCT’s rating has remained at “A3”.

27 The Property Funds Guidelines also provide that the Aggregate Leverage of CCT may exceed 35.0% of the value of the Deposited Property of CCT (up to a maximum of 60.0%) if a credit rating of the REIT from Standard & Poor’s, Fitch, Inc. or Moody’s is obtained and disclosed to the public.

4.4 Profit Forecast and Profit Projection The table in the following pages summarises the CCT’s Consolidated Statement of Total Return and Distribution for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 (the “Profit Forecast and Profit Projection”). The Profit Forecast and Profit Projection are prepared assuming CCT acquires 1 George Street at the Purchase Consideration of S$1,165.0 million.

The forecast and projection must be read together with the detailed Profit Forecast and Profit Projection as well as the accompanying assumptions and sensitivity analysis in Appendix B of this Circular, and the report of the Independent Accountants (who have examined the Profit Forecast and Profit Projection) in Appendix C of this Circular.

29 Notes: (1) Based on the CCT Audited Financial Statements. (2) Based on the CCT Group’s actual results from 1 January 2008 to 31 March 2008 and the Manager’s forecast of the CCT Group’s results from 1 April 2008 to 31 December 2008. (3) This relates to the net proceeds received from the liquidation of subsidiaries in 2006. (4) This relates to the disposal of Aragorn, which was treated for accounting purposes as a subsidiary of CCT. (5) The balance includes the amortisation of premiums and discounts relating to the issue of the Convertible Bonds and the debt issuance expenses. (6) This includes the share of results of QCT up to 30 September 2007 and the net change in fair value of QCT’s investment properties. (7) Gain on sale of investment property held by Aragorn, which was treated for accounting purposes as a subsidiary of CCT. (8) The income tax provision is based on the relevant tax rates applicable to Aragorn, which was treated for accounting purposes as a subsidiary of CCT. (9) Included in net tax adjustments are the amortisation of premiums and discounts relating to the issue of the Convertible Bonds and the debt issuance expenses. (10) Based on the weighted average number of approximately 1,384.2 million Units in issue for the year ended 31 December 2007. (11) Based on the projected weighted average number of approximately 1,387.4 million Units in issue as at 31 December 2008. (12) In the event the Acquisition is not approved by Unitholders, CCT will still incur interest on the Convertible Bonds and the S$150.0 million MTN that were issued for the Acquisition. In such event, the DPU for the financial year ending 31 December 2008, the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 will be 10.20 cents, 5.23 cents and 12.14 cents respectively. (13) Number of Units in issue as at the end of each year/period is inclusive of the Manager’s forecast and projected number of Units to be issued in payment of (i) the CCT RCS Management Fee, (ii) the Management Fee for Wilkie Edge and 1 George Street, and (iii) the Acquisition Fee. In preparing the profit forecast & projection, the Manager has assumed that the Convertible Bonds issued are not converted into the Conversion Units during the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009. Had the Convertible Bonds been fully converted, the forecast and projected fully dilutive DPU of the Enlarged Portfolio for the Forecast Period 2008 and Projection Year 2009 are 5.36 cents and 11.71 cents respectively.

5. THE GENERAL MANDATE AND ITS RATIONALE

5.1 The General Mandate The Manager is seeking Unitholders’ approval for the General Mandate so that the Manager may issue new Units and/or Convertible Securities in FY2008, such that the number of new Units (and/or Units into which the Convertible Securities may be converted) does not exceed 50.0% of the Base Figure, of which the aggregate number of new Units (and/or Units into which the Convertible Securities may be converted), where the Units and/or the Convertible Securities are issued other than on a pro-rata basis to existing Unitholders, must not be more than 20.0% of the Base Figure.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Manager has issued 1,604,209 Units during FY2008 and 138,255,736 Units have been set aside for the issue of the Convertible Bonds. Accordingly, if Unitholders approve the General Mandate, the Manager may only issue 137,078,528 Units (9.9% of the Base Figure) for FY20081.

Pursuant to the General Mandate, the Manager may issue Units arising from the conversion of the Convertible Securities notwithstanding that the General Mandate may have ceased to be in force at the time the Units are to be issued.

Where the terms of the issue of the Convertible Securities provide for adjustment to the number of Convertible Securities in the event of rights, bonus or other capitalisation issues, the Manager may issue additional Convertible Securities pursuant to such adjustment notwithstanding that the General Mandate may have ceased to be in force at the time the Convertible Securities are issued.

1 None of the 138,225,736 Units which have been set aside for the issue of the Convertible Bonds have been issued as at the Latest Practicable Date. If Unitholders do not approve the General Mandate and all the holders of the Convertible Bonds exercise their right to fully convert the Convertible Bonds during FY2008, the Trustee will pay cash in lieu of issuing Units such that the number of Units issued in FY2008 will not exceed 10.0% of the Base Figure.

30 5.2 Rationale for the General Mandate The commercial property sector in Singapore is highly competitive and there is significant competition for attractive investment opportunities from other real estate investors with ready sources of financing and the ability to respond quickly to acquisition opportunities.

In this regard, the Manager is of the view that the General Mandate will allow CCT to raise funds more expeditiously without the time and expense of convening extraordinary general meetings. It will also enable CCT to be more responsive in the acquisition of new properties in a competitive environment where timeliness in making bids and making payment for acquisitions will give CCT an advantage. This would in turn provide CCT with additional room for further growth through the acquisition of new properties.

6. RECOMMENDATIONS

6.1 On the Proposed Acquisition Based on the opinion of the IFA (as set out in the Non-Mandatory IFA Letter in Appendix E of this Circular) and the rationale for the Acquisition as set out in paragraph 2.2 above, the Independent Directors and the Audit Committee believe that the Acquisition would not be prejudicial to the interests of CCT and its minority Unitholders.

Accordingly, the Independent Directors recommend that Unitholders vote at the EGM in favour of the resolution to approve the Acquisition (Resolution 1).

6.2 On the Proposed General Mandate Having regard to the rationale for the General Mandate set out in paragraph 5.2 above, the Manager believes that the General Mandate would be beneficial to, and is in the interests of CCT.

Accordingly, the Manager recommends that Unitholders vote in favour of the resolution relating to the General Mandate (Resolution 2).

7. EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING The EGM will be held at on Friday, 27 June 2008 at 10.30 a.m. at STI Auditorium, Level 9, 168 Robinson Road, Capital Tower, Singapore 068912, for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing with or without modification, the resolutions set out in the Notice of EGM, which is set out on pages I-1 and I-2 of this Circular. The purpose of this Circular is to provide Unitholders with relevant information about each of these resolutions. Approval by way of an Ordinary Resolution is required in respect of resolutions relating to the Acquisition (Resolution 1) and the General Mandate (Resolution 2).

A Depositor shall not be regarded as a Unitholder entitled to attend the EGM and to speak and vote thereat unless he is shown to have Units entered against his name in the Depository Register, as certified by The Central Depository (Pte) Limited (“CDP”) as at 48 hours before the EGM.

31 8. ABSTENTIONS FROM VOTING

8.1 Relationship between CapitaLand, E-Pavilion Pte. Ltd., SBR Private Limited and the Manager Through E-Pavilion Pte. Ltd., SBR Private Limited and the Manager, CapitaLand has an indirect interest of 423,799,901 Units, comprising approximately 30.6% of the total number of Units in issue, as at the Latest Practicable Date.

8.2 Undertakings to Abstain from Voting Given that 1 George Street will be acquired from CapitaLand, CapitaLand will undertake that it will abstain, and will ensure that E-Pavilion Pte. Ltd. and SBR Private Limited (which are all wholly-owned subsidiaries of CapitaLand) will abstain, from voting at the EGM on the resolution relating to the Acquisition. Being a wholly-owned subsidiary of CapitaLand, the Manager will also undertake to abstain from voting at the EGM on the resolution relating to the Acquisition.

9. ACTION TO BE TAKEN BY UNITHOLDERS Unitholders will find enclosed in this Circular the Notice of EGM and a Proxy Form.

If a Unitholder is unable to attend the EGM and wishes to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on his behalf, he should complete, sign and return the enclosed Proxy Form in accordance with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and, in any event, so as to reach the Manager’s registered office at 39 Robinson Road, #18-01 Robinson Point, Singapore 068911 no later than Wednesday, 25 June 2008, at 10.30 a.m. being 48 hours before the time fixed for the EGM. The completion and return of the Proxy Form by a Unitholder will not prevent him from attending and voting in person at the EGM if he so wishes.

Persons who have an interest in the approval of one or more of the resolutions must decline to accept appointment as proxies unless the Unitholder concerned has specific instructions in his Proxy Form as to the manner in which his votes are to be cast in respect of such resolutions.

33 IMPORTANT NOTICE

The value of Units and the income derived from them may fall as well as rise. Units are not obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed by, the Manager or any of its affiliates. An investment in Units is subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Investors have no right to request the Manager to redeem their Units while the Units are listed. It is intended that Unitholders may only deal in their Units through trading on the SGX-ST. Listing of the Units on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units.

The past performance of CCT is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of CCT.

This Circular may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Representative examples of these factors include (without limitation) general industry and economic conditions, interest rate trends, cost of capital and capital availability, competition from similar developments, shifts in expected levels of property rental income, changes in operating expenses (including employee wages, benefits and training costs), property expenses and governmental and public policy changes. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on the Manager’s current view of future events. All forecasts are based on a specified range of issue prices per Unit and on the Manager’s assumptions as explained in Appendix B of this Circular. Such yields will vary accordingly for investors who purchase Units in the secondary market at a market price higher or lower than the issue price range specified in this Circular. The major assumptions are certain expected levels of property rental income and property expenses over the relevant periods, which are considered by the Manager to be appropriate and reasonable as at the date of the Circular. The forecast financial performance of CCT is not guaranteed and there is no certainty that it can be achieved. Investors should read the whole of this Circular for details of the forecasts and projections and consider the assumptions used and make their own assessment of the future performance of CCT.

If you have sold or transferred all your Units, you should immediately forward this Circular, together with the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting and the accompanying Proxy Form, to the purchaser or transferee or to the bank, stockbroker or other agent through whom the sale or transfer was effected for onward transmission to the purchaser or transferee.

ASSUMPTIONS

1. SECTION A: ASSUMPTIONS — EXISTING PORTFOLIO (EXCLUDING RAFFLES CITY SINGAPORE) The major assumptions made in preparing the Profit Forecast and Profit Projection for the Existing Portfolio (excluding Raffles City Singapore) are set out below. The Manager considers these assumptions to be appropriate and reasonable at the date of this Circular.

1.1 Gross Revenue Gross Revenue is the aggregate of (i) Gross Rental Income, (ii) car park income, and (iii) other income from the Existing Portfolio (excluding Raffles City Singapore). A summary of the assumptions used in calculating the Gross Revenue is set out below:

1.1.1 Gross Rental Income Gross Rental Income comprises base rent (after rent rebates, where applicable, and including turnover rent) and tenant service charge, which is a contribution paid by tenant towards the Property Operating Expenses of each property.

In order to forecast and project the Gross Rental Income for the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore, Market Street Car Park and Wilkie Edge), the Manager has, in the first instance, used rent payable under the committed leases as at 29 February 2008.

For a committed lease expiring during the period 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008, the Manager has used the following process to forecast and project the Gross Rental Income for the period following such expiry: • The Manager has assessed the market rent for the leases due for renewal. The market rent is the rent which the Manager believes could be achieved if each

B-3 lease was renegotiated as at 29 February 2008 and is estimated with reference to the rent payable pursuant to comparable leases that have recently been negotiated, the achievable rents of comparable office buildings, likely market conditions, inflation rates and tenant demand levels. • The Manager has assessed each of the expiring leases and the likelihood of lease renewals for committed leases expiring in the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008. During this period, leases of 36,605 sq m (comprises 35,706 sq m of office leases and 899 sq m of retail leases) or 19.6% of the total NLA of the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore, Market Street Car Park and Wilkie Edge) will be due for renewal. It has been assumed that 72.9% of these expiring leases or 26,673 sq m (comprises 26,030 sq m of office leases and 643 sq m of retail leases) have been renewed or will be renewed, taking into account the actual committed renewals and tenants who have expressed an intention to renew their leases as at 29 February 2008.

If a committed lease expires in the Projection Year 2009, the Manager has assumed that for the office leases, the rental rates payable under lease renewal will be the market rent of comparable properties, increased by the projected growth rate of an average of 5.0% from the prevailing market rental rates as at 29 February 2008. For the retail leases, the Manager has assumed no rental growth for rental rates payable under lease renewal and the rental rates payable will be the prevailing market rental rates as at 29 February 2008. For the Projection Year 2009, leases of 30,706 sq m (comprises 27,396 sq m of office leases and 3,310 sq m of retail leases) or 16.4% of the total NLA of the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore, Market Street Car Park and Wilkie Edge) will be due for renewal. The Manager has assumed that 54.0% of these expiring leases or 16,590 sq m (comprises 14,594 sq m of office leases and 1,996 sq m of retail leases) have been renewed or will be renewed.

For the office and retail leases which are not renewed during the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2009, a vacancy allowance of three to four months is assumed for the office leases and a vacancy allowance of two to three months is assumed for the retail leases. The rental rates payable upon the lease of such vacant spaces are assumed to be the market rent of comparable properties for the period 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008. For the Projection Year 2009, the rental rates for the office leases are assumed to be increased by the projected growth rate of an average of 5.0% from the prevailing market rental rates as at 29 February 2008 while no rental growth is projected for the retail leases.

For Wilkie Edge, the Manager has assumed that the temporary occupation permit is obtained on 31 October 2008. To forecast and project the Gross Rental Income of Wilkie Edge, the Manager has in the first instance, used rent payable under the committed leases for the office and retail components.

The Manager has assessed the likelihood of NLA occupied in the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009. The total NLA of the office and retail components of Wilkie Edge is 9,588 sq m and 3,341 sq m respectively. It has been assumed that 52.2% of the office NLA and 56.1% of the retail NLA will be occupied as at 31 December 2008. For the Projection Year 2009, the Manager has assumed that 82.9% of the office NLA and 95.2% of the retail NLA will be occupied for the Projection Year 2009.

B-4 For Market Street Car Park, the Manager has announced in January 2008 that the URA has granted Outline Planning Permission for the conversion of Market Street Car Park from its current zoning usage of “transport facilities” to “commercial”, subject to payment of 100.0% of the enhancement in land value to be assessed by the Chief Valuer of Singapore and there being no extension of its current land lease tenure. The Manager is currently carrying out the feasibility study of the potential development and has issued lease termination notices to the retail tenants. On 29 April 2008, the Manager announced that the decision on the planned redevelopment will be made no earlier than mid-2009. For the Gross Rental Income derived from Market Street Car Park, the Manager has assumed all retail leases at Market Street Car Park will be terminated by end-2008 and the Manager has also assumed that there is no retail Gross Rental Income derived from Market Street Car Park for the Projection Year 2009. However, the car park is assumed to remain in operation for the Forecast Period 2008 and Projection Year 2009.

1.1.2 Car Park Income Car park income comprises income accruing or resulting from the operations of the two car park facilities as well as income earned from the remaining Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore and Wilkie Edge) with car park facilities. For the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, the Manager has assumed a 11.1% decrease in car park income from FY2007 and 6.6% decrease in car park income from FY2008, as a result of lower vehicular count in Market Street Car Park due to (i) disruption from the construction of a temporary vehicular viaduct along Cross Street for the excavation work for the Downtown Line Extension and (ii) the closure of retail space in Market Street Car Park subsequent to the notice of lease termination served by CCT to the retail tenants.

For Wilkie Edge, the car park income is projected based on car park charges at comparable commercial buildings, likely market conditions, inflation rates and car parking demand levels.

1.1.3 Other Income Other income includes licence fees, tenant recoveries for after-office air-conditioning usage, utility charges and other services, and other miscellaneous income.

The forecast and projected other income is based on the existing licence agreements and current income collections.

For Wilkie Edge, the other income includes licence fees from fac¸ade advertisements. For the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, the other income is projected based on the outlook for licence agreements and the current income collections of comparable CCT’s properties.

1.2 Property Operating Expenses Property Operating Expenses comprise property tax, the Property Management Fee and other property expenses (including utility expenses, reimbursement of salaries and related expenses, marketing expenses, repairs and maintenance expenses, general and administrative expenses as well as other miscellaneous expenses) relating to the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore). The assumptions made in calculating the Property Operating Expenses are set out below:

B-5 1.2.1 Property Tax Property tax is assessed based on 10.0% of annual value. For the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, annual values for the leases are assumed to be higher than the Gross Rental Income of the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore, Wilkie Edge and HSBC Building) by 51.6% and 43.8% respectively and the annual value for the car park income is assumed to be the car park income after allowing for assumed deductible car park operating expenses.

The annual value for Wilkie Edge for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 is assumed to be the estimated Gross Rental Income of the office component and retail component (after deducting an assumed service charge rate), car park income after allowing for assumed deductible car park operating expenses and the other income less tenant recoveries.

CCT, as the owner of HSBC Building, is liable for property tax. However, under the terms of the lease agreement, The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, the sole lessee of HSBC Building, will be responsible for the property tax.

1.2.2 Property Management Fee The Property Management Fee for the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore and HSBC Building) is based on 3.0% of Net Property Income before the Property Management Fee for the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore and HSBC Building).

For HSBC Building, the Property Management Fee is 0.25% of Net Property Income of HSBC Building before the Property Management Fee for HSBC Building.

1.2.3 Other Property Operating Expenses To forecast the other property operating expenses for Forecast Period 2008, the Manager has made an assessment of the actual historical operating costs and the service contracts which are committed as at 29 February 2008. The other property operating expenses for Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore and Wilkie Edge) for the Projection Year 2009 is assumed to increase by 8.0% per annum from FY2008.

To forecast the other property operating expenses for Wilkie Edge for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, the Manager has made an assessment of the estimated utility consumption as well as the actual historical operating costs and service contracts of comparable CCT’s properties which were committed as at 29 February 2008.

1.3 Interest Income It has been assumed that, for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, the amount of interest earned on the CCT Group’s cash will be 0.5% per annum.

1.4 Investment Income No investment income is assumed to have been derived from the 7.4% investment in MCDF.

B-6 1.5 Manager’s Management Fee The Base Fee is 0.1% per annum of the value of the Deposited Property and the Performance Fee is 5.25% of Net Income of the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore). For the investments in QCT and MCDF, no Manager’s Management Fee is charged by CCT. Both fees are payable quarterly in arrears.

To arrive at the forecast distribution for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, it has been assumed that the Base Fee and Performance Fee for the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore and Wilkie Edge) will be paid in cash.

The Base Fee and Performance Fee for Wilkie Edge have been assumed to be paid in units. To derive the Manager’s Management Fee for Wilkie Edge, the Manager has assumed that the issue price of the Units will be based on the 10-Day Volume Weighted Average Price, in accordance with the Trust Deed. The Manager has assumed the 10-Day Volume Weighted Average to be S$2.00 per Unit for both the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009.

1.6 Trust Expenses Trust expenses comprise recurring operating expenses such as Trustee’s fee, annual valuation fees, legal fees, registry and depository charges, accounting, audit and tax adviser’s fees, postage, printing and stationery cost, investor communication costs and other miscellaneous expenses.

In assessing these amounts, the Manager has considered factors likely to influence the level of these fees, charges and costs, including CCT’s market capitalisation, gross assets, the likely number of investors, Property Value and the estimated rate of inflation.

1.7 Borrowing Costs CCT has the Silver Loft Loan Facilities amounting to S$580.0 million, which has been fully drawn down on 16 March 2004 in four tranches. The four tranches comprise (i) a five-year term loan of S$153.3 million, (ii) a five-year callable loan facility of S$250.3 million, (iii) a five-year fixed rate term loan of S$80.0 million, and (iv) a five-year fixed rate term loan of S$96.4 million.

CCT has entered into interest rate swap contracts of an aggregate notional amount of S$390.0 million for periods of five years to seven years.

In the Projection Year 2009, the Silver Loft Loan Facilities of S$580.0 million will mature and the Manager intends to refinance the loan through bank facilities and/or capital market issues.

In addition to the Silver Loft Loan Facilities, CCT has put in place the Loan Facilities amounting to S$206.0 million and the Secured Term Loan of up to S$700.0 million. As at the Latest Practicable Date, a sum of S$109.7 million has been drawn down from the Loan Facilities.

CCT has also issued S$370.0 million of aggregate principal amount of Convertible Bonds due 2013.

CCT, through its subsidiary, CCT MTN Pte. Ltd., has established a S$1.0 billion MTN Programme. As at the Latest Practicable Date, S$250.0 million of fixed rate notes has been issued comprising (1) a three-year fixed rate notes of S$100.0 million and (2) a two-year fixed rate notes of S$150.0 million.

B-7 It is assumed that the investments and capital expenditure required in the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 will be financed through the Loan Facilities, the MTN Programme and available cash.

The Manager has assumed an average interest rate of approximately 3.9% and 4.4% per annum (including margins) for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 respectively.

1.8 Share of Profit of Associate For the share of profit of associate, the Manager has assumed the distribution income from the 30.0% investment in QCT to be the same as the share of profit of associate derived from the forecast and assumptions dated 21 April 2008 issued by QCT.

1.9 Capital Expenditure A provision of cash flow payment for the projected capital expenditure of the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore) has been included in the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009. This is projected based on the Manager’s budget for improvement works.

Capital expenditure incurred is capitalised as part of the Deposited Property and has no impact on the Statement of Total Return and distribution of the Existing Portfolio other than affecting the borrowing costs and depreciation expense.

While there is no material deferred capital maintenance obligation outstanding, the cash flow payment for the projected capital expenditure with respect to improvement works at the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore) is forecast as follows:

Forecast Period 2008 Projection Year 2009 (1 July 2008 to (Financial year ending 31 December 2008) 31 December 2009) (S$ Million) (S$ Million) Renovation and improvement works 5.1 15.8 Regular capital expenditure 4.0 9.2 Total 9.1 25.0

1.10 Investment Properties The Manager has assumed that the carrying value for the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore and Wilkie Edge) is S$3,558.4 million (based on market valuation dated 1 December 2007 conducted by an independent valuer, CBRE). For Wilkie Edge, the carrying value of the property is S$54.9 million (based on the progress payments made till 31 December 2007). The carrying value of Wilkie Edge will increase by the estimated progressive amount payable of S$128.3 million in FY2008, in accordance with an agreed payment schedule that corresponds with completion of the various stages of construction of the development.

It has been assumed that the Property Value of the Existing Properties (excluding Raffles City Singapore) will only increase by the amount of projected capital expenditure as described in paragraph 1.9 above for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009.

The assumption is applied when estimating the Property Value and the value of the Deposited Property for the purposes of forecasting and projecting the Base Fee and Trustee’s fee.

B-8 1.11 Accounting Standards It has been assumed that there has been no change in applicable accounting policies or other financial reporting requirements that may have a material effect on CCT’s forecast distribution income. A summary of the significant accounting policies of the CCT Group may be found in the CCT Group’s annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2007.

1.12 Other Assumptions The following additional assumptions have been made in preparing the Profit Forecast and Profit Projection for the Existing Portfolio (excluding Raffles City Singapore): (i) other than the Acquisition, CCT’s property portfolio remains unchanged; (ii) no New Units will be issued by CCT other than the New Units to be issued in payment of the CCT RCS Management Fee, the Manager’s Management Fee for Wilkie Edge and 1 George Street and the Acquisition Fee; (iii) there will be no material change to the tax legislation or other legislation; (iv) there will be no material change to the First Tax Ruling and the Second Tax Ruling; (v) all leases and licences are enforceable and will be performed in accordance with their terms; (vi) fair values of any derivative financial instruments are assumed to be unchanged over the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009; (vii) 100.0% of the distributable income is distributed from RCS Trust in accordance with CCT’s 60.0% interest and CMT’s 40.0% interest for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009; (viii) 100.0% of the CCT Group’s distributable income will be distributed; and (ix) that the exchange rate of one unit of Singapore dollar to Ringgit Malaysia is 2.30 and remains unchanged throughout the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009.

2. SECTION B: ASSUMPTIONS — RAFFLES CITY SINGAPORE The major assumptions made in preparing the forecast and projected Gross Revenue and Net Property Income for Raffles City Singapore are set out below. The Manager, together with the CMT Manager, considers these assumptions to be appropriate and reasonable at the date of this Circular.

2.1 Raffles City Singapore Gross Revenue (“RC Gross Revenue”) RC Gross Revenue is the aggregate of Gross Rental Income earned from the leasing of offices in Raffles City Tower (“RC Office Gross Rental Income”), the leasing of shops in Raffles City Shopping Centre (“RC Retail Gross Rental Income”), and the Hotels and Convention Centre Leases (“RC Hotels Gross Rental Income”), as well as the car park income (“RC Car Park Income”) and other income (“RC Other Income”) earned from Raffles City Singapore. The assumptions used in calculating RC Gross Revenue are set out below:

2.1.1 RC Office Gross Rental Income In order to forecast and project the RC Office Gross Rental Income, the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has, in the first instance, used rent payable under the committed leases of Raffles City Tower as at 29 February 2008.

B-9 For a committed lease expiring during the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008, the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has used the following process to forecast and project the RC Office Gross Rental Income for the period following such expiry: • The Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has assessed the market rent for the leases due for renewal. The market rent is the rent which the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, believes could be achieved if each lease was renegotiated as at 29 February 2008 and is estimated with reference to the rent payable pursuant to comparable leases that have recently been negotiated, the achievable rents of comparable office buildings, likely market conditions, inflation rates and tenant demand levels. • The Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has assessed each of the expiring leases and the likelihood of renewals for committed leases expiring in the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008. During this period, leases of 2,705 sq m or 7.7% of the office NLA will be due for renewal. It has been assumed that 30.0% of these expiring leases or 812 sq m have been renewed or will be renewed, taking into account the actual committed renewals and tenants who have expressed an intention to renew their leases as at 29 February 2008.

If a committed lease expires in the Projection Year 2009, the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has assumed that the rental rates payable under lease renewal will be the market rent of comparable properties, increased by the projected growth rate of an average 5.0% per annum from the prevailing market rental rates as at 29 February 2008. For the Projection Year 2009, leases of 15,581 sq m or 44.1% of the office NLA will be due for renewal. The Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has assumed that 71.8% of these expiring leases or 11,191 sq m have been renewed or will be renewed.

For the office leases which are not renewed during the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2009, a vacancy allowance of three to four months is assumed. The rental rates payable upon the lease of such vacant spaces are assumed to be the market rent of comparable properties for the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008. For the Projection Year 2009, the rental rates are assumed to be increased by the projected growth rate of an average of 5.0% from the prevailing market rental rates as at 29 February 2008.

2.1.2 RC Retail Gross Rental Income

RC Retail Gross Rental Income (Excluding Turnover Rent) In order to forecast and project the RC Retail Gross Rental Income (excluding turnover rent), the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has, in the first instance, used rent payable under the committed leases (including letters of offer which are to be followed up with lease agreements to be signed by the parties) for Raffles City Shopping Centre as at 29 February 2008.

Following the expiry of a committed lease during the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2009, the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has used the following process to forecast and project the RC Retail Gross Rental Income (excluding turnover rent) for the period following such expiry: • The Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has assessed the market rent for each portion of lettable area as at 29 February 2008. The market rent is the rent which the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, believes could be achieved if each lease was renegotiated as at 29 February 2008 and is estimated with reference to (i) the rent payable pursuant to comparable leases that have recently

B-10 been negotiated, (ii) the effect of comparable shopping centres, (iii) assumed tenant retention rates on lease expiry, (iv) likely market conditions, (v) inflation levels, and (vi) tenant demand levels. • If a committed lease expires in the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2009, the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has assumed that the rental rates for a new lease (or a lease renewal) which commences in the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2009 is the market rent, increased by the forecast growth rate of 3.0% per annum, or the actual rent committed (if the lease agreement or letter of offer has been entered into). • The growth rate of 3.0% per annum is assumed after having regard to (i) the estimated rate of consumer price inflation in Singapore, (ii) the outlook for the general economy including gross domestic product growth rates, (iii) the demand level of tenancies in Raffles City Shopping Centre, and (iv) the outlook for retail sales in Singapore. The 3.0% growth rate is an annual figure but has been assumed to apply to the relevant figures compounded on a monthly basis. • For the leases expiring during the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, it has been assumed that leases representing 50.0% of the RC Retail Gross Rental Income (excluding turnover rent) derived from such leases will be renewed and will not experience any vacancy period. It has been assumed that leases representing the remaining 50.0% of the RC Retail Gross Rental Income (excluding turnover rent) derived from the other leases expiring during the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 will experience a one month vacancy period before rent becomes payable under a new lease. For those leases, where the actual vacancy periods are already known pursuant to commitments to lease which are in place as at 29 February 2008, the actual vacancy periods have been used in the forecast and projection.

RC Retail Gross Rental Income from Asset Enhancement Works For Raffles City Shopping Centre, asset enhancement works involving reconfiguration of lettable areas and tenant re-mixing are expected to be carried out during the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008 and the Projection Year 2009.

The forecast and projection have taken into account the potential revenue loss during the period when further asset enhancement works are being carried out as well as the additional revenue arising from the completion of the asset enhancement works.

Turnover Rent For Raffles City Shopping Centre, approximately 93.9% of all committed leases (by number of leases) contained provisions for payment of turnover rent. The typical turnover rent provision in these leases is based on payment of either (i) Gross Rental Income or (ii) a percentage of their gross turnover, whichever yields the higher amount.

In order to forecast turnover rent for Raffles City Shopping Centre for the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2009, the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has reviewed average historical turnover rent figures for each tenant that pays turnover rent. Where historical turnover rent figures are not available, the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has made an estimate of the tenant’s expected turnover, based on information provided by the tenant and other factors such as the outlook for retail sales. Based on this assessment, the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, makes a forecast of the turnover rent for the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008 and the Projection Year 2009.

B-11 Turnover rent of Raffles City Shopping Centre is forecast and projected to account for less than 1.0% of RC Retail Gross Rental Income for both the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008 and the Projection Year 2009.

2.1.3 RC Hotels Gross Rental Income The RC Hotels and Convention Centre are leased to RC Hotels (Pte) Ltd. Under the lease, RC Hotels (Pte) Ltd pays a Gross Rental Income which includes a step-up minimum rent structure, a service charge component and a variable rent component based on a percentage of gross operating revenue earned from the RC Hotels and Convention Centre.

For the unexpired remaining annual rental periods from 7 November 2007 to 6 November 2011, the minimum rent will be on a yearly step-up structure, increasing from S$38.0 million to S$44.0 million.

For each annual rental period up to and including the annual rental period ending 6 November 2011, the variable rent will be 8.5% of gross operating revenue up to S$250.0 million and 13.0% of gross operating revenue over S$250.0 million.

The Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has forecast and projected the minimum rent revenue based on the committed lease structure. To derive the variable rent revenue for both the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, the percentage of gross operating revenue earned from the RC Hotels and Convention Centre adopted is based on the committed lease structure. In order to forecast the variable rent, the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has reviewed the historical gross operating revenue figures earned from the RC Hotels and Convention Centre and assessed the outlook for the Singapore hotel sector. Based on this assessment, the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has assumed that the gross operating revenue earned from the RC Hotels and Convention Centre for the Forecast Period 2008 is based on the current outlook for the Singapore hotel sector and that there is no growth for the Projection Year 2009.

2.1.4 RC Car Park Income RC Car Park Income includes income earned from the operations of the car park. The Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has assumed that the RC Car Park Income will grow at 5.9% from FY2007 for the Forecast Period 2008 and at 1.9% from FY2008 for the Projection Year 2009.

2.1.5 RC Other Income RC Other Income includes signage licence fees, casual leasing and other miscellaneous income from Raffles City Shopping Centre, as well as tenant recoveries earned from both Raffles City Shopping Centre and Raffles City Tower.

The RC Other Income for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 is forecast and projected based on historical income and license agreements committed as at 29 February 2008, as well as the outlook for casual leasing at Raffles City Shopping Centre.

B-12 2.2 Property Operating Expenses

2.2.1 Property Tax Property tax is assessed based on 10.0% of annual value. The annual values of Raffles City Singapore for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 are assumed as follows: • For Raffles City Tower, it is assumed to be 118.9% and 86.0% higher than the RC Office Gross Rental Income for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 respectively. • For Raffles City Shopping Centre, it is assumed to be the RC Retail Gross Rental Income after deducting an assumed service charge rate and advertising and promotion levy (where applicable). • For the RC Hotels and Convention Centre, it is assumed to be the RC Hotels Gross Rental Income less service charge for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009. • For the car parks, it is assumed to be the RC Car Park Income after allowing for assumed deductible car park operating expenses and for the other income, it is assumed to be the RC Other Income less tenant recoveries.

2.2.2 RCS Property Management Fee The RCS Property Management Fee is based on 2.0% of Gross Revenue plus 2.5% of Net Property Income of Raffles City Singapore (inclusive of leasing and/or marketing commissions).

2.2.3 Other Property Operating Expenses To forecast the other property operating expenses for the Forecast Period 2008, the Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has made an assessment of the actual historical operating costs and the service contracts which were committed as at 29 February 2008. The other property operating expenses for the Projection Year 2009 are assumed to increase by 7.9% per annum from FY2008.

2.2.4 Marketing Expenses The Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has assumed that approximately S$2.2 million per annum will be incurred as marketing expenses for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, after taking into consideration the actual historical marketing expenses and marketing expenses which were committed as at 29 February 2008.

2.3 RCS Management Fee The base component of the RCS Management Fee is 0.25% per annum of the value of the Deposited Property of RCS Trust. In addition, there is also a performance component of the RCS Management Fee, being 4.0% of the Net Property Income of RCS Trust.

B-13 It is assumed that the RCS Management Fee is paid in units in RCS Trust, and each of the Manager and the CMT Manager will issue and receive for their own account such number of Units or units in CMT (as the case may be) as may be purchased with the respective amount of the RCS Management Fee received by each of the Trustee and the CMT Trustee respectively.

For the CCT RCS Management Fee, the Manager has assumed that the issue price of the Units will be based on the 10-Day Volume Weighted Average Price, in accordance with the Trust Deed. The Manager has assumed the 10-Day Volume Weighted Average Price to be S$2.00 per Unit for both the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009.

2.4 Trust Expenses Trust expenses of RCS Trust include recurring operating expenses such as the RCS Trust Trustee-Manager’s trustee’s fees, annual valuation fees, legal fees, registry and depository charges, accounting, audit and tax adviser’s fees, postage, printing and stationery costs, investor communication costs and other miscellaneous expenses.

2.5 Borrowing Costs RCS Trust has the Silver Oak Loan Facilities amounting to S$1,030.0 million, which comprise a five-year fixed rate term loan of S$866.0 million and a revolving credit facility of S$164.0 million. The term loan has been fully drawn down on 13 September 2006 in three tranches. The three tranches comprise (i) a five-year fixed rate term loan of S$670.0 million, (ii) a five-year fixed rate term loan of S$60.0 million, and (iii) a five-year fixed rate term loan of S$136.0 million.

The Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has assumed that S$46.7 million and S$107.5 million will be drawn down from the revolving credit facility in the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 respectively to fund the asset enhancement works, capital expenditure at Raffles City Singapore and the working capital of RCS Trust.

The Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has assumed an average interest rate of approximately 4.1% and 4.0% per annum (including margins and excluding the amortisation of debt issuance expenses) for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 respectively.

The amortisation of debt issuance expenses is assumed to be S$0.3 million and S$0.6 million for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 respectively. As the amortisation is a non-cash item, it is added back to the distributable income through net tax adjustment.

2.6 Capital Expenditure A provision of cash flow payments for the projected capital expenditure has been included in the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009. This is projected by the Manager, together with the CMT Manager based on the proposed asset enhancement works relating to Raffles City Singapore.

Capital expenditure incurred is capitalised as part of the Deposited Property of RCS Trust and has no impact on the Statement of Total Return and distribution other than affecting the finance costs and depreciation expense.

B-14 While there is no material deferred capital maintenance obligation outstanding, the cash flow payment for the projected capital expenditure with respect to improvement works at Raffles City Singapore is forecast as follows:

Forecast Period 2008 Projection Year 2009 (1 July 2008 to (Financial year ending 31 31 December 2008) December 2009) (S$ Million) (S$ Million) CCT’s 60.0% CCT’s 60.0% interest in interest in Raffles City Raffles City Raffles City Raffles City Singapore Singapore Singapore Singapore Asset enhancement works 25.1 15.1 54.0 32.4 Renovation and improvement 7.9 4.7 29.2 17.5 works Regular capital expenditure 6.5 3.9 9.4 5.6 Total 39.5 23.7 92.6 55.5

2.7 Investment Property The Manager, together with the CMT Manager, has assumed that the carrying value for Raffles City Singapore is S$2,586.0 million (based on market valuation dated 1 December 2007 conducted by an independent valuer, CBRE). It has been assumed that the Property Value of Raffles City Singapore will only increase by the amount of capital expenditure projected described in paragraph 2.6 above for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009.

The assumption is applied when estimating the Property Value and the value of the Deposited Property of RCS Trust for the purposes of forecasting and projecting the base fee component of the RCS Management Fee and the RCS Trust Trustee-Manager’s trustee’s fee.

2.8 Accounting Standards It has been assumed that there has been no change in the applicable accounting policies or other financial reporting requirements that may have a material effect on RCS Trust’s forecast distributable income. RCS Trust’s significant accounting policies are consistent with those of the CCT Group and a summary of the significant accounting policies of the CCT Group may be found in the CCT Group’s annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2007.

2.9 Other Assumptions The following additional assumptions have been made in preparing the Profit Forecast and Profit Projection for Raffles City Singapore: (i) there will be no material change to the tax legislation or other legislation; (ii) there will be no material change to the First Tax Ruling and the Second Tax Ruling; (iii) all leases and licences are enforceable and will be performed in accordance with their terms; and (iv) 100.0% of the distributable income is distributed from RCS Trust in accordance with CCT’s 60.0% interest and CMT’s 40.0% interest for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009.

B-15 3. SECTION C: ASSUMPTIONS — 1 GEORGE STREET The major assumptions made in preparing the forecast and projected Gross Revenue and Net Property Income for 1 George Street are set out below. The Manager considers these assumptions to be appropriate and reasonable at the date of this Circular.

3.1 Gross Revenue Gross Revenue is the aggregate of (i) Gross Rental Income, (ii) car park income, and (iii) other income from 1 George Street. A summary of the assumptions used in calculating the Gross Revenue is set out below:

3.1.1 Gross Revenue Gross Rental Income comprises base rent (after rent rebates, where applicable, and including turnover rent) and tenant service charge, which is a contribution paid by tenants towards the Property Operating Expenses of 1 George Street.

In order to forecast and project the Gross Rental Income, the Manager has, in the first instance, used rent payable under the committed leases as at 29 February 2008.

For a committed lease expiring during the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008, the Manager has used the following process to forecast and project the Gross Rental Income for the period following such expiry: • The Manager has assessed the market rent for the leases due for renewal. The market rent is the rent which the Manager believes could be achieved if each lease was renegotiated as at 29 February 2008 and is estimated with reference to the rent payable pursuant to comparable leases that have recently been negotiated, the achievable rents of comparable office buildings, likely market conditions, inflation rates and tenant demand levels. • The Manager has assessed each of the expiring leases and the likelihood of lease renewals for committed leases expiring in the period from 1 March 2008 to 31 December 2008. During this period, leases of 9,334 sq m or 22.4% of the office NLA will be due for renewal. It has been assumed that 98.0% of these expiring leases or 9,147 sq m have been renewed or will be renewed, taking into account the actual committed renewals and tenants who have expressed an intention to renew their leases as at 29 February 2008.

If a committed lease expires in the Projection Year 2009, the Manager has assumed that the rental rates payable under lease renewal will be the market rent of comparable properties, increased by the projected growth rate of an average 3.5% from the prevailing market rental rates as at 29 February 2008. For the Projection Year 2009, leases of 13,386 sq m or 32.2% of the office NLA will be due for renewal. With the tight office supply in Singapore, the Manager has assumed that 90.0% of these expiring leases or 12,047 sq m have been renewed or will be renewed.

For the office leases which are not renewed in the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, a vacancy allowance of three to four months is assumed. The rental rates payable upon the lease of such vacant spaces are assumed to be the market rent of comparable properties for the Forecast Period 2008. For the Projection Year 2009, the rental rates are assumed to be increased by the projected growth rate of an average of 3.5% from the prevailing market rental rates as at 29 February 2008.

B-16 3.1.2 Car Park Income Car park income comprises income earned from the operations of the car park facility. The car park income for the Forecast Period 2008 is projected based on its historical car park income and is assumed to grow at 3.5% from FY2008 for the Projection Year 2009.

3.1.3 Other Income Other income includes licence fees, tenant recoveries for after-office air-conditioning usage, utility charges and other services, and other miscellaneous income.

The forecast and projection for the other income of 1 George Street is based on the historical licence agreements and current income collections.

Other income also include the Yield Protection provided by CCL.

The principal terms of the Deed of Yield Protection include, among others, the following: • CCL shall provide Yield Protection to CCT to ensure a minimum Net Property Income of S$49,512,500 per annum, which is equal to 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration; • the duration of the Yield Protection is for the period of five years commencing from (and including) the date of Completion and ending on the day immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of such date of Completion (which is expected to be in 2013); and • CCL shall provide the Yield Protection to CCT by making top up payments to CCT, if required, during the Yield Protection Period.

For the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, the Manager has assumed a Yield Protection payment of S$11.6 million and S$11.7 million respectively.

3.2 Property Operating Expenses Property Operating Expenses comprise property tax, the Property Management Fee and other property expenses (including utility expenses, reimbursement of salaries and related expenses, marketing expenses, repairs and maintenance expenses, general and administrative expenses as well as other miscellaneous expenses) relating to 1 George Street. The assumptions made in calculating the Property Operating Expenses are set out below:

3.2.1 Property Tax Property tax is assessed based on 10.0% of annual value. For the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, annual values for the leases are assumed to be higher than the Gross Rental Income of 1 George Street by 96.6% and 75.4% respectively and the annual value for the car park income is assumed to be the car park income after allowing for assumed deductible car park operating expenses.

3.2.2 Property Management Fee The Property Management Fee is based on 3.0% of Net Property Income of 1 George Street before the Property Management Fee of 1 George Street.

B-17 3.2.3 Other Property Operating Expenses To forecast the other property operating expenses for the Forecast Period 2008, the Manager has made an assessment of the actual historical operating costs and the service contracts which are committed as at 29 February 2008. The other property operating expenses for the Projection Year are assumed to increase 15.7% for FY2008 mainly due to higher utilities and higher marketing fee which is expected from the higher number of leases expiring in the Projection Year 2009.

3.3 Manager’s Management Fee The Base Fee is 0.1% per annum of the value of 1 George Street and the Performance Fee is 5.25% of Net Income of 1 George Street. It is assumed that the Management Fee of 1 George Street is paid quarterly in arrears.

To arrive at the forecast distribution for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, it has been assumed that the Base Fee and Performance Fee of 1 George Street will be paid in Units.

The Manager has assumed that the issue price of the Units will be based on the 10-Day Volume Weighted Average Price, in accordance with the Trust Deed. The Manager has assumed the 10-Day Volume Weighted Average Price to be S$2.00 per Unit for both the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009.

3.4 Investment Property The Manager has assumed that CCT will acquire 1 George Street at the Purchase Consideration of S$1,165.0 million and that the carrying value for 1 George Street is S$1,180.2 million (based on Total Acquisition Cost).

The assumption is applied when estimating the Property Value and the value of the Deposited Property for the purposes of projecting the Base Fee and Trustee’s fee.

3.5 Borrowing Costs The Manager intends to fund the Acquisition by drawing down the Secured Term Loan, the proceeds from the Convertible Bonds issued, surplus cash arising from the two-year fixed rate notes issued in March 2008 and additional borrowings from the Loan Facilities. The Manager has assumed an average interest rate of approximately 3.7% per annum (including margins and excluding the amortisation of the premiums and discounts relating to the issue of the Convertible Bonds and debt issuance expenses) for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009.

The amortisation of the premiums and discounts relating to the issue of the Convertible Bonds and the debt issuance expenses is assumed to be S$10.1 million and S$20.4 million for the Forecast Period 2008 and Projection Year 2009 respectively. As the amortisation is a non-cash item, it is added back to the distributable income through net tax adjustment.

3.6 Capital Expenditure A provision of cashflow payments of S$0.5 million and S$0.6 million for the projected capital expenditure of 1 George Street has been included in the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 respectively. This is projected based on the Manager’s budget for improvement works.

B-18 It is further assumed that the capital expenditure will be funded by bank borrowings. Capital expenditure incurred is capitalised as part of the Deposited Property and has no impact on Net Income and distribution of the Enlarged Portfolio other than affecting the borrowing costs.

3.7 Investment Property The carrying value for 1 George Street is hypothetically assumed to be S$1,180.2 million (based on the Total Acquisition Cost). It has been assumed that the property value of 1 George Street will only increase by the projected amount of capital expenditure described in paragraph 3.6 above for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009. This assumption is made when estimating the value of the Deposited Property for the purpose of forecasting and projecting the base fee component of the Management Fee and the Trustee’sfeeforthe Enlarged Portfolio.

4. SECTION D: SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS FOR THE ENLARGED PORTFOLIO The Profit Forecast and Profit Projection is based on a number of key assumptions that have been outlined earlier in this Appendix.

Profit Forecast Based on our examination of the evidence supporting the Assumptions, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for the Profit Forecast. Further, in our opinion the Profit Forecast, so far as the accounting policies and calculations are concerned, is properly prepared on the basis of the Assumptions, is consistent with the accounting policies normally adopted by CCT Group and is presented in accordance with the relevant presentation principles of Recommended Accounting Practice 7 “Reporting Framework for Unit Trusts” (but not all the required disclosures for the purposes of this letter) issued by the Institute of Certified Public Accountants of Singapore (“ICPAS”), which is the framework adopted by CCT Group in the preparation of its financial statements.

C-1 Profit Projection The Profit Projection is intended to show a possible outcome based on the Assumptions. Because the length of the period covered by the Profit Projection extends beyond the period covered by the Profit Forecast, the Assumptions used in the Profit Projection (which included hypothetical assumptions about future events which may not necessarily occur) are more subjective than would be appropriate for a profit forecast. The Profit Projection does not therefore constitute a profit forecast.

Based on our examination of the evidence supporting the Assumptions, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that the Assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for the Profit Projection. Further, in our opinion the Profit Projection, so far as the accounting policies and calculations are concerned, is properly prepared on the basis of the Assumptions, is consistent with the accounting policies normally adopted by CCT Group and is presented in accordance with the relevant presentation principles of Recommended Accounting Practice 7 “Reporting Framework for Unit Trusts” (but not all the required disclosures for the purposes of this letter) issued by the Institute of Public Accountants of Singapore (“ICPAS”), which is the framework adopted by CCT Group in the preparation of its financial statements.

Events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Even if the events anticipated under the hypothetical assumptions described above occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the Profit Forecast and Profit Projection since other anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variation may be material. The actual results may therefore differ materially from the Profit Forecast and Profit Projection. For the reasons set out above, we do not express any opinion as to the possibility of achievement of the Profit Forecast and Profit Projection.

Attention is drawn, in particular, to the sensitivity analysis of the Directors’ Profit Forecast and Profit Projection as set out on pages B-19 to B-21 of the Circular.

INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER’S LETTER

ANZ SINGAPORE LIMITED (Incorporated in the Republic of Singapore) Company Registration Number: 198602937W

9 June 2008

The Independent Directors and Audit Committee of CapitaCommercial Trust Management Limited (as Manager of CapitaCommercial Trust) 39 Robinson Road #18-01 Robinson Point Singapore 068911

HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited (as Trustee of CapitaCommercial Trust) 21 Collyer Quay #14-01 HSBC Building Singapore 049320

Dear Sirs

NON-MANDATORY INDEPENDENT FINANCIAL ADVISER LETTER WITH REGARDS TO THE INTERESTED PERSON TRANSACTION TO BE ENTERED INTO BY CAPITACOMMERCIAL TRUST (“CCT”) IN CONNECTION WITH THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF 1 GEORGE STREET

For the purpose of this letter, capitalised terms not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to them in the circular dated 9 June 2008 to the Unitholders of CapitaCommercial Trust (“Circular”)

1. INTRODUCTION On 26 March 2008, the Trustee entered into a call option agreement (the “Call Option Agreement”) with George Street Pte Ltd (the “Vendor”) pursuant to which the Trustee was granted a call option for the acquisition of 1 George Street (the “Call Option”) at a purchase consideration of S$1,165.0 million (the “Purchase Consideration”).

Pursuant to the Call Option Agreement, the Vendor shall procure that Capital Commercial Ltd (“CCL”) shall negotiate and enter into a deed of yield protection (“Deed of Yield Protection”)to provide yield protection to CCT to ensure a minimum net property income of S$49,512,500 per annum, which is equal to 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration (the “Yield Protection”). The Yield Protection is granted for a period of five years commencing from (and including) the date of completion of the sale and purchase of 1 George Street (“Completion”)1 and ending on the day immediately preceding the fifth anniversary of such date of Completion (which is expected to fall within 2013) (the “Yield Protection Period”).

The Purchase Consideration of 1 George Street was arrived at on a willing-buyer and willing-seller basis. The Manager has commissioned an independent property valuer, Jones Lang LaSalle Property Consultants Pte Ltd (“JLL”) and the Trustee has commissioned an independent property valuer, Knight Frank Pte Ltd (“Knight Frank”) to value 1 George Street. JLL in its report dated 16 April 2008 stated that the open market value of 1 George Street is S$1,165.0 million and Knight

1 The date of Completion shall be a date which is not less than seven business days and not more than 14 business days, after the date on which the Trustee has exercised the Call Option (as defined herein).

E-1 Frank in its report dated 16 April 2008 stated that the open market value of 1 George Street is S$1,170.0 million. In arriving at the open market value, JLL and Knight Frank did not take into consideration the Yield Protection. If the Yield Protection was taken into account in the valuation workings, the open market value derived would be in excess of S$1,165.0 million and S$1,170.0 million respectively. (Please see Appendix D of this Circular for further details.)

The total cost of the Acquisition (the “Total Acquisition Cost”) is currently estimated to be approximately S$1,180.2 million, comprising: (i) the Purchase Consideration of S$1,165.0 million; (ii) the acquisition fee payable to the Manager (the “Acquisition Fee”) which amounts to S$11.7 million; and (iii) the estimated professional and other fees and expenses incurred by CCT in connection with the Acquisition which amounts to S$3.5 million.

As at 2 June 2008, being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this Circular (the “Latest Practicable Date”), CapitaLand Limited (“CapitaLand”) held an aggregate indirect interest of 423,799,901 Units, which is equivalent to approximately 30.6% of the total number of Units then in issue (“Existing Units”), and is therefore regarded as a “controlling Unitholder”2 of CCT under both the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST (the “Listing Manual”) and the Property Funds Guidelines.

CapitaLand has, through CCL, an indirect interest of 100% in the issued and paid-up share capital of the Vendor. For the purposes of Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual, the Vendor (being a subsidiary of a controlling Unitholder) is an “interested person” of CCT. For the purposes of the guidelines relating to interested party transactions under the Property Funds Guidelines, the Vendor (being a subsidiary of a controlling Unitholder) is an “interested party” of CCT.

Therefore, the Acquisition will constitute an “interested person transaction” under Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual as well as an “interested party transaction” under the Property Funds Guidelines, in respect of which the approval of Unitholders is required (see paragraph 3.8.2 of the Circular for further details).

Under Rule 917(4)(b) of the Listing Manual, an opinion from an independent financial adviser is not required for an interested person transaction if the transaction involves the purchase of real property and if (i) the consideration for the purchase or sale is in cash, (ii) an independent professional valuation has been obtained for the purpose of the purchase of the property and (iii) the valuation of such property is disclosed in the circular. Accordingly, as the consideration for the Acquisition is in cash and independent valuations have been obtained for the Acquisition and are disclosed in the Circular, a letter from an independent financial adviser is strictly not required, notwithstanding that the Acquisition is an interested person transaction. However, for purposes of good corporate governance and to ensure that there is an independent analysis of the Acquisition, the Manager has appointed the ANZ Singapore Limited (“ANZ”) to advise its Independent Directors, Audit Committee and Trustee on the Acquisition and the Deed of Yield Protection.

This letter sets out, inter alia, our opinion, from a financial point of view, on whether the Acquisition and the Deed of Yield Protection are on normal commercial terms and are not prejudicial to the interests of CCT and its minority Unitholders. It will form part of the Circular providing, inter alia, the details of the Acquisition and the recommendations of the Independent Directors to the Unitholders. Unless otherwise defined or the context otherwise requires, all terms defined in the Circular shall have the same meaning herein.

2 A person with an interest in one or more Units constituting not less than 15.0% of all outstanding Units.

E-2 2. TERMS OF REFERENCE ANZ has been appointed the independent financial adviser to the Independent Directors, Audit Committee and Trustee (“Independent Financial Adviser”) to advise them, from a financial point of view, as to whether the Acquisition and the Deed of Yield Protection are on normal commercial terms and are not prejudicial to the interests of CCT and its minority Unitholders.

We make no representations or warranties in relation to the merits of the Acquisition and the Deed of Yield Protection other than to express an opinion, from a financial point of view, on whether the Acquisition and the Deed of Yield Protection are on normal commercial terms and are not prejudicial to the interests of CCT and its minority Unitholders. Our terms of reference do not require us to evaluate or comment on the strategic or commercial merits or risks of the Acquisition and the Deed of Yield Protection or on the prospects of CCT or any of its respective related companies (as defined in the Companies Act of Singapore). Such evaluations or comments remain the responsibility of the Directors and management of the Manager.

We were neither a party to the negotiations entered into by the Manager in relation to the Acquisition and the Deed of Yield Protection nor were we involved in the discussions leading up to the decision on the part of the Directors to propose the Acquisition.

We have held discussions with the Directors and the management of the Manager and have examined information provided by the Directors and the management of the Manager and other publicly available information collated by us, upon which our view is based. We have not independently verified such information, whether written or verbal, and accordingly cannot and do not make any representation or warranty in respect of, and do not accept any responsibility for, the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of such information. We have nevertheless made enquiries and use our judgment as we deemed necessary or appropriate in assessing such information and are not aware of any reason to doubt the reliability of the information.

We have relied upon the assurances of the Directors made pursuant to the Directors’ Responsibility Statement set out under paragraph 10 of the Circular that the Directors collectively and individually accept responsibility for the accuracy of the information given in the Circular and confirm, having made all reasonable enquiries, that to the best of their knowledge and belief, the facts stated and opinions expressed in the Circular are fair and accurate in all material respects and there are no material facts the omission of which would make any statement in the Circular misleading in any material respect.

Where information has been extracted or reproduced from published or otherwise publicly available sources, the sole responsibility of the Directors has been to ensure through reasonable enquiries that such information is accurately extracted from such sources or, as the case may be, reflected or reproduced in the Circular.

We have not made an independent evaluation or appraisal of the assets and liabilities of CCT and we have not been furnished with any such evaluation or appraisal valuation reports in respect of the assets held by CCT and its respective related companies nor have we evaluated the solvency of CCT under any applicable laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or similar matters.

Accordingly, no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made and no responsibility is accepted by us concerning the accuracy, completeness or adequacy of all information, provided or otherwise made available to us or relied on by us as described above.

Furthermore, our terms of reference do not require us to express, and we do not express, an opinion on the future growth prospects of CCT and its respective related companies. We are therefore not expressing any opinion herein as to the future financial or other performance of those companies.

E-3 Our opinion, as set out in this letter, is based upon the market, economic, industry, monetary and other applicable conditions subsisting on, and the information made available to us, as of the Latest Practicable Date. We assume no responsibility to update, revise or reaffirm our opinion in the light of any subsequent development after the Latest Practicable Date that may in any way affect our opinion contained herein. Unitholders of CCT should take note of any announcement relevant to their consideration of the Acquisition which may be released by or on behalf of CCT or the Manager after the Latest Practicable Date.

In rendering our advice and giving our recommendation, we have not had regard to the specific investment objectives, financial situation, tax position or individual circumstances of any individual Unitholder. As different Unitholders would have different investment objectives and profiles, we would advise the Independent Directors to recommend that any individual Unitholder who may require specific advice in relation to his investment portfolio should consult his stockbroker, bank manager, solicitor, accountant, tax adviser or other professional advisers.

Our opinion in relation to the proposed Acquisition and the Deed of Yield Protection should be considered in the context of the entirety of this letter and the Circular.

3. CERTAIN TERMS OF THE ACQUISITION The full text of certain terms of the Acquisition is set out in paragraph 2 of the Circular.

4. EVALUATION OF THE ACQUISITION For the purpose of arriving at our opinion in respect of the Acquisition, we have, as the Independent Financial Adviser, taken into account the following: (i) the rationale for the Acquisition; (ii) the valuation reports prepared by the Independent Valuers as reproduced in Appendix D of this Circular; (iii) earnings-based valuation methodology; (iv) the Yield Protection as provided by CCL to CCT; (v) other information relating to CCT and the Acquisition provided to ANZ both verbally and in writing by the Directors and management of the Manager; and (vi) publicly available information collated by us and provided by management of the Manager.

5. RATIONALE FOR THE ACQUISITION The full text of the Manager’s rationale for the Acquisition is set out in paragraph 2.2 of the Circular. It is important for Unitholders to understand the rationale of the Acquisition, therefore, Unitholders are advised to read paragraph 2.2 of the Circular carefully.

The Manager’s rationale for the Acquisition is summarised as follows: (i) Prime landmark office building; (ii) Acquisition fits the Manager’s investment strategy; (iii) Yield accretion; (iv) Growth potential from rental reversions in a robust Singapore office market; (v) Strengthen focus in prime office market; (vi) Enhance tenant base; (vii) Income diversification; and (viii) Economies of scale.

E-4 We note that the Acquisition is “in line with the Manager’s principal investment strategy to invest in real estate and real estate-related assets which are yield-accretive and used or predominantly used for commercial purposes, with a focus on prime assets with strategic locations, premier building specifications and quality tenants so as to deliver stable distribution and sustainable total returns to the Unitholders”.

6. VALUATION REPORTS We believe that the most appropriate valuation methodology for evaluating the Acquisition is the asset-based valuation method. This valuation method will involve establishing the open market value of 1 George Street.

Purchase Consideration The Purchase Consideration of S$1,165.0 million was arrived at on a willing-buyer and willing-seller basis.

The Manager has commissioned an independent property valuer, JLL and the Trustee has commissioned an independent property valuer, Knight Frank to value 1 George Street. JLL in its report dated 16 April 2008 stated that the open market value of 1 George Street is S$1,165.0 million and Knight Frank in its report dated 16 April 2008 stated that the open market value of 1 George Street is S$1,170.0 million. In arriving at the open market value, JLL and Knight Frank did not take into consideration the Yield Protection. If the Yield Protection was taken into account in the valuation workings, the open market value derived would be in excess of S$1,165.0 million and S$1,170.0 million respectively. (Please see Appendix D of this Circular for further details.)

1 George Street A detailed description of 1 George Street is set out in Appendix A of the Circular.

7. EARNINGS-BASED VALUATION METHODOLOGY Valuation Methodology

In addition to the asset-based valuation methodology, we have used an earnings-based valuation methodology to assess the Acquisition. This valuation method is relevant as 1 George Street is an income-generating property, and the property yield can be benchmarked against the property yields of similar properties.

In our evaluation of the purchase consideration for the Acquisition, we have taken into account the following relevant considerations: (i) the valuation and estimated earnings arising from the professional valuation of 1 George Street carried out by the Independent Valuers, without taking into consideration the Yield Protection; (ii) property yield generated by 1 George Street compared with property yields generated from broadly comparable commercial real estate in Singapore; (iii) the occupancy levels achieved by 1 George Street; (iv) financial effects of the Acquisition; and (v) other considerations.

E-5 (I) Valuation of 1 George Street The valuation methodologies applied by the Independent Valuers included Capitalisation of Income Approach, Discounted Cashflow Analysis and Direct Comparison Method.

The valuations were based on the open market value of 1 George Street, which is defined by Knight Frank as “the best price at which the sale of an interest in property might reasonably be expected to have been completed unconditionally for cash consideration on the date of valuation, assuming: (a) a willing, but not anxious, buyer and seller; (b) that prior to the date of valuation there have been a reasonable period (having regard to the nature of the property and the state of the market), for the proper marketing of the interest, for the agreement of price and terms and for the completion of the sale; (c) that the state of the market, level of values and other circumstances were, on any earlier assumed date of exchange of contracts, the same as on the date of valuation; and (d) that no account is taken of any additional bid by a purchaser with a ‘special interest’.”

A summary of the valuation reports is set out in Appendix D of the Circular.

We note that the Purchase Consideration of S$1,165.0 million is equivalent to JLL’s open market property valuation of S$1,165.0 million, and 0.43% lower than Knight Frank’s open market property valuation of S$1,170.0 million. In arriving at the open market value, JLL and Knight Frank did not take into consideration the Yield Protection. If the Yield Protection was taken into account in the valuation workings, the open market value derived would be in excess of S$1,165.0 million and S$1,170.0 million respectively.

(II) Property Yield We have examined the property yield generated by 1 George Street compared to the property yields generated from broadly comparable commercial real estate in Singapore. The following table has been extracted from paragraph 3.6 of this Circular and presents, in summary, certain selected financial information in relation to the Acquisition and, based on the following assumptions: (i) The Acquisition is to be completed on 30 June 2008; and (ii) Yield Protection of a minimum Net Property Income of S$49,512,500 per annum, which is equal to 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration is in place.

Forecast Period 2008 Projection Year 2009 (1 July 2008 to (1 January 2009 to 31 December 2008) 31 December 2009) Gross Revenue (S$’000)(1) 32,246 66,590 Property Operating Expenses (S$’000) 7,355 17,077 Net Property Income (S$’000) 24,891 49,513 Net Property Yield (%) 4.25(2) 4.25

Notes: (1) Including the Yield Protection of S$11.6 million and S$11.7 million from CCL for the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009 respectively. (2) Annualised figure.

E-6 Based on the Manager’s forecast shown in the table above and taking into account the Purchase Consideration of S$1,165.0 million, the forecast annualised property yield for 1 George Street is not less than 4.25% for both the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009. As aforementioned, the Manager’s forecast has assumed that the Yield Protection of 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration, as described in Section 1 of this letter, is in place.

As set out in paragraph 2.2.4 of the Circular, the Yield Protection will allow CCT and Unitholders to benefit from the upside potential from future rental reversions in 1 George Street while eliminating downside market risk over the Yield Protection Period. In addition, CBRE expects Grade A and prime rents to stay fairly robust from 2010 to 2012 on the back of an expected healthy Singapore economy, with such rents generally within an estimated range of S$12.00 to S$15.00 per sq ft per month. Based on the assumptions for the profit forecast for 1 George Street set out in Appendix B of the Circular and assuming all leases expiring between 2010 and 2011 are renewed based on the forecast rental rate of S$12.00 to S$15.00 per sq ft per month, the net property yield in 2011 is projected to be 4.4% to 4.9% based on the Purchase Consideration, which is above the minimum 4.25% net property yield offered through the Yield Protection by CCL. Please refer to paragraph 2.2.4 of the Circular for the full details.

According to CBRE’s Singapore Property Market Review in Appendix H of the Circular, the normative stabilised yield for a multi-tenanted office building in the CBD in Singapore is estimated to be between 4.0% and 4.5%. Hence, the forecast annualised property yield of 4.25% for 1 George Street for both the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, are within the range of the CBRE’s estimates.

In addition, we note the following; (i) The property yields from broadly comparable commercial real estate in Singapore are for illustrative purposes only as these properties differ from 1 George Street in terms of net lettable area (NLA) and location; and (ii) We highlight that general market property yield statistics are generally not readily available from any reliable source, and the general market property yields set out above are estimates only. Such market property yields will fluctuate over time depending on the demand and supply for commercial development space in Singapore. We also recognise that there is no other property which we may consider to be identical to 1 George Street in terms of building component mix, composition of tenants, lettable area, location, track record and future prospects.

(III) Occupancy Rates As at 1 May 2008, 1 George Street had a committed occupancy of 100%.

CBRE in their Singapore Property Market Review in Appendix H of the Circular note that the average occupancy rate in the Raffles Place micromarket was around 98% as at the end of the first quarter of 2008.

The committed occupancy of 1 George Street is higher than the average occupancy rate in the Raffles Place micromarket.

(IV) Financial Effects of the Acquisition The pro forma financial effects of the Acquisition are favourable, and are set out in paragraph 3.7 of the Circular.

E-7 (V) Other Considerations Due Diligence Process

All transactions with the Interested Persons, including the Acquisition, shall comply with the applicable requirements of the Property Funds Guidelines under the Code on Collective Investment Schemes (the “Property Funds Guidelines”) and/or the Listing Manual.

In general, the Manager has established internal control procedures to ensure that transactions involving the Trustee, as the trustee of CCT, and a related party of the Manager (“Related Party Transactions”) are undertaken on an arm’s length basis and on normal commercial terms, which are generally no more favourable than those extended to unrelated third parties. In respect of such transactions, the Manager would have to demonstrate to the Audit Committee that the transactions would be undertaken on normal commercial terms which may include obtaining (where practicable) quotations from parties unrelated to the Manager, or obtaining a valuation from an independent valuer (in accordance with The Property Funds Guidelines).

In addition, the following procedures would be undertaken: • transactions (either individually or as part of a series or if aggregated with other transactions involving the same interested party during the same financial year) equal to or exceeding S$100,000 in value, but below 3.0% of CCT’s net tangible assets, will be subject to review by the Audit Committee at regular intervals; • transactions (either individually or as part of a series or if aggregated with other transactions involving the same interested party during the same financial year) equal to or exceeding 3.0%, but below 5.0% of CCT’s net tangible assets, will be subject to the review and approval of the Audit Committee. Such approval shall only be given if the transactions are on normal commercial terms, and consistent with similar types of transactions made by the Trustee, as trustee of CCT, with third parties which are unrelated to the Manager; and • transactions (either individually or as part of a series or if aggregated with other transactions involving the same interested party during the same financial year) equal to or exceeding 5.0% of CCT’s net tangible assets, will be reviewed and approved by the Audit Committee who may if it deems fit, request for advice on the transaction from independent sources or advisors, including the obtaining of valuations from professional valuers. Further, under the Property Funds Guidelines, such transactions also require the approval of the Unitholders at a specially convened meeting.

Where matters concerning CCT relate to transactions entered into or to be entered into by the Trustee for and on behalf of the CCT with a related party of the Manager or CCT, the Trustee is required to ensure that such transactions are conducted on normal commercial terms and are not prejudicial to the interests of CCT or its minority Unitholders, and in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Property Funds Guidelines and/or the Listing Manual relating to the transaction in question. Further, the Trustee, as trustee of CCT, has the ultimate discretion under the Trust Deed to decide whether or not to enter into a transaction involving a Related Party Transaction of the Manager or CCT. If the Trustee is to sign any contract with a related party of the Manager or CCT, the Trustee will review the contract to ensure that it complies with applicable requirements relating to interested party transactions in the Property Funds Guidelines (as may be amended from time to time), as well as other guidelines as may from time to time be prescribed by the MAS, the SGX-ST, or other relevant authority to apply to real estate investment trusts.

All Related Party Transactions will be subject to regular periodic reviews by the Audit Committee.

E-8 The Manager’s internal control procedures are intended to ensure that Related Party Transactions are conducted at arm’s length, and are not prejudicial to Unitholders. The Manager will maintain a register to record all Related Party Transactions (and the basis, including the quotations obtained to support such basis, on which they are entered into), which are entered into by CCT. The Manager will incorporate into its internal audit plan a review of all Related Party Transactions entered into by CCT. The Audit Committee shall review the internal audit reports to ascertain that the guidelines and procedures established to monitor Related Party Transactions have been complied with.

The Audit Committee will periodically review Related Party Transactions to ensure compliance with the internal control procedures and with the relevant provisions of the Listing Manual and the Property Funds Guidelines. The review will include the examination of the nature of the transaction and its supporting documents, or such other data deemed necessary to the Audit Committee.

If a member of the Audit Committee has an interest in a transaction, he is to abstain from participating in the review and approval process in relation to that transaction. The aggregate value of Related Party Transactions (equal to or exceeding S$100,000 each in value) conducted during the 2007 financial year has been disclosed on page 190 of CCT’s annual report for 2007.

The review procedures described above are to be applied by the Manager in relation to the Acquisition and the Existing Interested Person Transactions.

8. CERTAIN TERMS OF THE DEED OF YIELD PROTECTION The full text of certain terms of the Deed of Yield Protection is set out in paragraph 3.4 of the Circular.

9. EVALUATION OF THE DEED OF YIELD PROTECTION For the purpose of evaluating the Deed of Yield Protection, we have, as the Independent Financial Adviser, taken into account the following: (i) the rationale for the Deed of Yield Protection; (ii) certain terms of the Deed of Yield Protection; (iii) the Yield Protection of 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration for 1 George Street is more than the average net property yield of CCT’s Grade A Offices of 3.6%3; (iv) the Yield Protection of 4.25% represents a yield that is stable and normative for a modern Grade A office building in a prime location in Singapore and is within the accepted range of 4.0% to 4.5% for quality office buildings in Singapore4; and (v) other information relating to the Deed of Yield Protection provided to ANZ both verbally and in writing by the Directors and management of the Manager. In assessing whether the Deed of Yield Protection is on normal commercial terms and is not prejudicial to the interests of CCT and its minority Unitholders, we note that: (i) as set out in paragraph 2.2.3 of the Circular, the Yield Protection of 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration for 1 George Street is more than the average net property yield of CCT’s Grade A Offices of 3.6%3;

E-9 (ii) based on the Manager’s forecast as set out in paragraph 2.2.3 of the Circular (which takes into account the Purchase Consideration of S$1,165.0 million and the Yield Protection of 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration), the forecast annualised property yield for 1 George Street is not less than 4.25% for both the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009; (iii) CBRE in their Singapore Property Market Review in Appendix H of the Circular note that the Yield Protection of 4.25% represents a yield that is stable and normative for a modern Grade A office building in a prime location in Singapore and is within the accepted range of 4.0% to 4.5% for quality office buildings in Singapore; and (iv) in its announcement dated 27 March 2008, the Manager stated that “the Yield Protection provides a minimum yield of 4.25% p.a. and assures a minimum net property income annually for the property, consequently eliminating downside risk for five years and allowing CCT to benefit from all upside”.

10. RECOMMENDATION Acquisition

Based on the considerations set forth in this letter, we are of the opinion that, as at the Latest Practicable Date, from a financial point of view, the Acquisition is on normal commercial terms and is not prejudicial to the interests of CCT and its minority Unitholders, having taken into consideration, inter alia, the following: (a) the compliance and review procedures set up by the Trustee and the Manager; (b) the role of the Audit Committee in relation to the Acquisition; (c) the rationale for the Acquisition; (d) the Purchase Consideration of S$1,165.0 million is equivalent to JLL’s open market property valuation of S$1,165.0 million, and 0.43% lower than Knight Frank’s open market property valuation of S$1,170.0 million. In arriving at the open market value, JLL and Knight Frank did not take into consideration the Yield Protection. If the Yield Protection was taken into account in the valuation workings, the open market value derived would be in excess of S$1,165.0 million and S$1,170.0 million respectively; (e) the forecast annualised property yield of not less than 4.25% for 1 George Street for both the Forecast Period 2008 and the Projection Year 2009, are within the accepted range of 4.0% to 4.5% for quality office buildings in Singapore; (f) as at 31 December 2007, 1 George Street had a total committed occupancy of 100%. In comparison the average occupancy in Raffles Place micromarket was around 98% as at the end of the first quarter of 20085; (g) the positive financial effects of the Acquisition; and (h) the due diligence process undertaken by the Manager.

Accordingly, from a financial point of view, ANZ is of the opinion that the Independent Directors can recommend that Unitholders vote in favour of the Acquisition to be proposed at the EGM.

Deed of Yield Protection In arriving at our opinion on whether the Deed of Yield Protection is based on normal commercial terms and is not prejudicial to the interests of CCT and its minority Unitholders, we have considered the following: (a) the rationale for the Deed of Yield Protection;

5 Source: CBRE Singapore Property Market Review as detailed in Appendix H of the Circular.

E-10 (b) certain terms of the Deed of Yield Protection; (c) the Yield Protection of 4.25% per annum of the Purchase Consideration for 1 George Street is more than the average net property yield of CCT’s Grade A Offices of 3.6%; (d) the Yield Protection of 4.25% represents a yield that is stable and normative for a modern Grade A office building in a prime location in Singapore and is within the accepted range of 4.0% to 4.5% for quality office buildings in Singapore6; and (e) other information relating to the Deed of Yield Protection provided to ANZ both verbally and in writing by the Directors and management of the Manager.

Accordingly, from a financial point of view, ANZ is of the opinion that the Deed of Yield Protection is on normal commercial terms and is not prejudicial to the interests of CCT and its minority Unitholders.

1. EXISTING INTERESTED PERSON TRANSACTIONS The table below sets out details of all Existing Interested Person Transactions entered into between CCT and entities within Temasek Group and its subsidiaries (which include entities within the CapitaLand Group) in the current financial year, which are subject to aggregation pursuant to Rule 906 of the SGX-ST Listing Manual as at the Latest Practicable Date.

Value of Transaction No. Interested Person Nature of Transaction (S$’000) 1 CapitaLand Commercial Project Project management fee for asset 166.8 Management Pte Ltd (“CCPM”) enhancement works at Raffles City and CapitaLand Retail Project Singapore Management Pte. Limited (“CRPM”) 2 CapitaLand Commercial Limited Renewal of lease for units #11-02/03, 20,038.3 #14-02/03, 17th to 21st storeys and air condenser units Subtotal for the CapitaLand Group 20,205.1 3 SembWaste Pte Ltd Term contract for the provision of 734.4 refuse disposal services at Raffles City Singapore 4 ST Education & Training Pte Ltd Installation of cameras, liquid crystal 108.6 display (LCD) screens, digital video recorder, racks and cabinets in the fire command centre at 6 Battery Road 5 StarHub Mobile Pte Ltd Licence renewal for in-building and 161.3 outdoor mobile phone coverage 6 ST group of companies Lease renewal at Starhub Centre for 23,324.0 a period of four years Subtotal for the Temasek Group 24,328.3 Total 44,533.4

These Existing Interested Person Transactions have been subject to the internal control procedures established by the Manager to ensure that such transactions are undertaken on normal commercial terms and are not prejudicial to the interest of CCT and its minority Unitholders. These procedures include the review and approval of such transactions by the Audit Committee, as appropriate.

2. TRANSACTION WITH CCPM AND CRPM

2.1 Asset Enhancement Works at Raffles City Singapore The RCS Trust Trustee-Manager is in the process of implementing asset enhancement works at Raffles City Singapore to increase the retail NLA.

The RCS Trust Trustee-Manager approved the appointment of CCPM and CRPM as the joint project manager at a maximum project management fee of S$0.3 million which is equivalent to 4.5% of total construction cost. CCT’s 60.0% share amounted to about S$0.2 million.

F-1 Prior to the appointment of the joint project manager, the RCS Trust Trustee-Manager had engaged an independent professional quantity surveyor, Northcroft Lim Consultants Pte Ltd, to conduct a review on the reasonableness of the proposed project management fee and found to be within fair commercial terms in its report dated 26 March 2008.

2.2 Rationale and Benefits of Interested Person Transactions with CCPM and CRPM Proven Track Record and Familiarity

Both the CCPM and CRPM teams have proven track records in executing various asset enhancement projects for both CCT and CMT. For example, CCPM has executed the revamp of Market Street Car Park and Golden Shoe Car Park whilst CRPM has executed major asset enhancement works at IMM Building and . The joint project manager has also successfully executed Phase 1 asset enhancement works for Raffles City Singapore.

Cost Management The construction of the proposed asset enhancement initiative work is for a period of less than one year and supervision by the project manager may not be required on a full-time basis throughout the construction period. Employing an in-house project manager will therefore be more financially prudent as they will be reimbursed only for the actual time spent on the projects, as compared to an external consultant who would normally command higher remuneration for such short construction period.

Other Value-Add In addition, both CCPM and CRPM possess strong and experienced design management and project management teams that have been involved in major retail and commercial properties in Singapore and overseas. Their expertise can be deployed to benefit Raffles City Singapore.

3. TRANSACTION WITH CAPITALAND COMMERCIAL LIMITED CCL has renewed the lease for units #11-02/03, #14-02/03, 17th to 21st storeys and air condenser units at Robinson Point, with a NLA of approximately 4,303 sq m, for a period of three years from 17 June 2008 to 16 June 2011.

The Trustee has approved the lease renewal by CCL at a rental rate above the Manager’s forecast rental rate for Robinson Point.

Prior to signing the lease agreements between the CCL and CCT, the Manager commissioned CBRE, an independent property consultant, to provide an independent opinion on the reasonableness of the terms of the agreement and to ensure that they are on the normal commercial terms. In its report dated 16 May 2008, CBRE stated that the rent is at market level and the other terms are in line with normal commercial terms.

4. TRANSACTION WITH SEMBWASTE PTE LTD Term contract for the provision of refuse disposal services at Raffles City Singapore was awarded to SembWaste Pte Ltd which is CCT’s existing service provider. They are able to support CCT’s recycling initiatives as well as to provide biological odour treatment control. Tendering exercise was executed on 22 October 2007 and they had submitted the most competitive price.

The Trustee has approved the renewal of the contract which commenced on 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2009 for a period of two years.

F-2 5. TRANSACTION WITH ST EDUCATION & TRAINING PTE LTD ST Education & Training Pte Ltd has been awarded two contracts to supply security equipment and to upgrade part of the fire command centre at 6 Battery Road. As part of the security enhancement work, close circuit television (CCTV) cameras, liquid crystal display (LCD) screens, digital video recorders and equipment racks and cabinets are required to improve on the level of security within the building. ST Education & Training Pte Ltd has submitted the most competitive costing amongst the three quotations and this has been subsequently approved by the Trustee.

6. TRANSACTION WITH STARHUB MOBILE PTE LTD StarHub Mobile Pte Ltd has entered into four licences for mobile phone coverage to enhance the in-building and outdoor mobile phone coverage at Capital Tower, Robinson Point, Golden Shoe Car Park and Market Street Car Park.

The Trustee has approved the licence at the rate which is in line with normal commercial terms as offered by other telecommunication service providers.

7. TRANSACTION WITH ASSOCIATES OF SINGAPORE TECHNOLOGIES PTE LTD The details of the transaction with the associates of Singapore Technologies Pte Ltd at Starhub Centre are set out in the table below.

Tenants Lease Area (sq m) Lease Term SMC Management Consultants Pte Ltd 268.0 1 Jul 2008 to 30 Jun 2012 STT Communications Ltd 2,571.0 1 Sep 2008 to 31 Aug 2012 Singapore Technologies Engineering Ltd 1,428.0 1 Sep 2008 to 31 Aug 2012 232.0 19 Jul 2008 to 31 Aug 2012 ST Asset Management Ltd 390.0 2 Jul 2008 to 1 Jul 2012 Vertex Management (II) Pte Ltd 316.3 1 Aug 2008 to 31 Jul 2012 Total 5,205.3 —

A four-year lease has been renewed with the tenants as shown above on an annual step-up rent arrangement. Prior to signing the lease agreements between the various parties and CCT, the Manager commissioned CBRE, an independent property consultant, to provide independent opinions on the reasonableness of the rental rates to ensure that they are on normal commercial terms. In its report dated 5 March 2008, CBRE stated that the rental rates as set out in the tenancy agreement between CCT and the various tenants are within the market norms.

For STT Communications Ltd, the lease also includes the right to name the building, with a fee payable to CCT.

H-3 Economic Overview

2. Economic Overview

2.1 Historical Economic Performance According to the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI) the Singapore economy expanded 7.7% in 2007, following an 8.2% growth in the previous year. While the fastest growing sectors continued to be construction and financial services, the overall slowdown towards the end of the year reflected largely a decline in biomedical manufacturing rather than the impact of the slowing US economy. In the first quarter of 2008, advance estimates showed that real GDP rose by 7.2% on a year-on-year basis, faster than the 5.4% gain in the final quarter of 2007.

In the last 10 years between 1998 and 2007, the Singapore economy grew by an average of 5.3% per annum, slower than the average growth of 7.6% per annum from 1990 to 1999. The lower growth in the period 1998 to 2007 was due to the recessions in 1998 as a result of the Asian Financial Crisis and in 2001, while the Iraq War and the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARs) pandemic in 2003 caused sentiment to remain poor. The Singapore economy started to show signs of recovery in 2004, but it was in 2005 with the announcement that two integrated resorts (IRs) would be developed that economic growth began to gain momentum in a robust manner.

2.2 Financial and Business Services Sector In the past few years, Singapore has experienced significant growth in its financial and business services sectors. Singapore provides a conducive and competitive environment to conduct business, and has established a financial and business centre of international reputation. As a financial hub, Singapore serves both its domestic economy and the wider Asia Pacific region.

In 2006, the financial services sector accounted for 10.9% of Singapore’s GDP. This sector continued to register a double-digit contribution in 2007, accounting for 12.0% of GDP in 2007.

Page 3

H-4 Economic Overview

Singapore is now established as an international financial centre with more than 500 local and foreign financial institutions. Front, middle, and back offices of private equity and banks have been and are continuing to actively re-locate to Singapore from other regional hubs.

Similarly, the business services sector accounted for 11.5% of Singapore’s GDP in 2006, and 11.2% subsequently in 2007. The island-state is presently becoming a favoured location for headquarter (“HQ”) operations with some 7,000 MNCs, 26,000 international companies and 100,000 SMEs conducting a variety of businesses in Singapore.

3. Office Market

3.1 Office Stock At the end of March 2008, URA statistics showed that office stock totalled 70.9 million sf (6.587 million sm), an increase from 70.22 million sf (6.524 million sm) in end-2007. This was due to the redevelopment of older buildings in the CBD. Private office stock accounted for 78.9% of the total. In terms of the distribution of total private sector stock, the Downtown Core accounted for 49.1%, followed by the Fringe Area (19.9%), Rest of Central Area (19.5%), Orchard Road (7.6%) and Outside Central Region (3.9%).

H-6 Office Market Overview

CBRE Research defines the Core CBD area as the composition of major buildings in the four micromarkets, Raffles Place, Marina Centre, and Marina Bay. These have a total 21.4 million sf (1.98 million sm) of office space, or 30.5% of the entire office stock in Singapore.

The micromarkets in the CBD comprise: 1. Raffles Place 2. Marina Bay 3. City Hall/Marina Centre 4. Shenton Way/Tanjong Pagar 5. River Valley 6. Orchard Road

H-7 Office Market Overview

New or redeveloped offices located in Raffles Place, Marina Centre, or Marina Bay with high specifications, and commanding top rents comprise Grade A stock, and constitute a current total of about 6.69 million sf (0.62 million sm) of net lettable area. Prime office stock, which consists of offices in prime locations with moderate to high specifications, make up a total of 12.39 million sf (1.15 million sm).

3.2 Supply of Office Space

3.2.1 Government Land Sales In the year 2007, the government reacted to the supply shortage situation by aggressively launching office parcels and vacant state buildings, and as a result several commercial sites were sold. Eleven government land sale sites were awarded in 2007 for office use, at a cost of some $6.55 billion. This was a stark contrast with the scenario in 2006 where no sites were awarded for office development. In 2007, the government also introduced the sale of transitional office sites — on a 15-year tenure — to cope with the lack of expansion space faced by businesses in the short term.

3.2.2 Future Supply A total of all confirmed projects show that 10.18 million sf of new office supply will be ready from 2008 to 2012. This reflects an annual average of 2.04 million sf, higher than the past 10-year average annual supply of 1.12 million sf from 1998 to 2007. The past 10-year average annual supply is considered to be fairly low due to the lack of office building completion during the years 2004 to 2007. However, in the 10 years prior to the Asian Financial crisis when Singapore was at a stage of growth, the 10-year average annual supply from 1989 to 1998 was 2.22 million sf, much higher than the 2.04 million sf in the next five years. Given the pace of business expansion, Singapore’s evolution as a financial hub and the fact that the economy is much bigger now, the new supply of 10.18 million sf contributes 14.4% to current office stock and appears not to be excessive when measured against projected demand of 1.62 million sf for office space going forward (see section 3.8.2).

The completion of these buildings would change the face of the CBD. The redevelopment of some functionally obsolete buildings in the Shenton Way and Tanjong Pagar micro-markets would help revitalise this part of the CBD area. In addition, the completion of the MBFC phases one and two would contribute significantly in realising the government’s vision for the Marina Bay area. It is also interesting to note that about 64% of the known pipeline supply will be Grade A offices. This would undoubtedly raise the quality of office stock in the Core CBD, thereby contributing to the attractiveness of the city-state as a major financial centre.

3.2.3 Office Site of the Government Land Sales Programme With the successful award of several sites at various locations of Tanjong Pagar, Marina View and Beach Road in 2007, there were noticeably less commercial sites on the GLS Programme for H1 2008. The resulting amount of office space in the Downtown Core area from the GLS commercial sites sold in 2007 would ensure that the future office supply would meet expanding

business needs. As such, the government has only released one new white site that would be developed for office and hotel use on the confirmed list. The white site at Ophir Road/Rochor Road is located next to with a potential for about 1.5 million sf of commercial space (139,740 sm). The development of this site would boost the supply of much sought-after office space in the fringe areas to the CBD.

The only other new commercial site, located at North Buona Vista Drive, is on the reserve list. An estimated 1.29 million sf (119,500 sm) of commercial space is envisaged to be developed on this parcel. The proximity of this location to one-north and to existing and upcoming MRT stations would likely see tenanted space being sought after by the research institutes in one-north.

The two new sites at Ophir Road/Rochor Road and North Buona Vista Drive would complement the commercial sites at Outram Road and Tampines that were brought over from the GLS Programme for H2 2007, in catering to the needs of most business sectors in the economy.

H-13 Office Market Overview

3.3 Office Demand in General The office sector performed well in 2006 and 2007. Demand was driven primarily by the banking and financial institutions, while logistics firms, oil companies and I.T. firms also featured prominently among the major leasing deals. Underpinned by a strong economy, companies increased their headcount and expanded their space needs.

URA statistics showed that islandwide office take-up rose to 2.40 million sf in 2006 and by another 2.07 million sf in 2007. This exceeded the pre-Asian financial crisis average of 2.0 million sf per annum. If not for the increasingly tight office availability situation, the total take-up in 2007 would have likely been higher.

The vacancy rate for the Core CBD, which comprises the Raffles Place, Marina Centre and Raffles Quay/Shenton Way micro-markets, fell from 3.6% in Q4 06 to 2.3% in Q4 07. The Fringe CBD, which comprises the Orchard Road and Tanjong Pagar micro-markets, also showed a drop in vacancy rate from 6.9% in Q4 06 to 4.3% in Q4 07. This was due to the filter-down effect of tight supply within the Core CBD area as well as the redevelopment of some offices within the Fringe CBD area. Similarly the decentralised markets also reflected a low vacancy of 1.9% for Q4 07, down from 3.3% a year ago.

The uncertainty in the global financial markets as a result of the subprime crisis has had little negative effect on the present climate in the office market. The office leasing market remained active in the first quarter of 2008 dominated by renewals and relocations. Thus far, the impact of the global credit crunch on the financial sector in Singapore has been minimal as there was keen interest for expansion space by banks and financial institutions at the start of the year. In addition, there was also evident growth of support business services such as legal and IT firms. In the prime areas, pre-commitment activity was largely focused on MBFC, although EFG Bank announced a pre-lease of a small development on the fringe of the CBD.

At the start of 2008, availability was still very limited in the Core CBD (occupancy 97.6%) and Decentralised areas (occupancy 97.0%). Vacancy rate remained below 5.0% in the Fringe CBD. Grade A vacancy remained below 1.0%, but at 0.6% it was slightly higher than the 0.2% in Q4 07.

According to URA, the total islandwide occupied space rose by 279,864 sf in the first three months of 2008. The continuing tight availability of offices was evident with islandwide vacancy at 7.7% at Q1 08, similar to the 7.3% in the previous quarter.

3.4 Prime and Grade A Rents The leasing market strengthened at a significant pace throughout 2006 and 2007. It was clearly a landlord’s market with keen competition among tenants for space. Rents were being reviewed on an increasingly regular basis and back-to-back transactions were prevalent, whereby space vacated by relocating occupiers was immediately committed by new tenants.

By end-2007, prime office rent increased to average $15.00 psf/month, rising 92.3% from end-2006. Prime rents have exceeded the historical peak in 1990 ($11.50 psf/month). Grade A office rent averaged $17.15 psf/month, reflecting an increase of 96.5% for the entire year 2007. While further upside to rentals is foreseeable, the pace of rental growth may ease from the frantic pace witnessed in 2007, for the short- to mid-term. Some occupiers are more prepared to explore lower cost locations and forward-looking tenants have pre-committed or are in advanced stages of pre-committing at both phases of the Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC), which is targeted for completion in 2010 and 2011.

In the first quarter of 2008, prime rents averaged $16.00 psf/month while Grade A rents averaged $18.65 psf/month, reflecting an increase of 6.7% and 8.7% respectively in the quarter. The rate of rental increase in Q1 08 has moderated slightly compared with the four quarterly increases in 2007.

H-15 Office Market Overview

Prime office rent is now expected to reach a projected average of $17.00 psf/month, while Grade A offices rents would likely be in the region of $19.00 psf per month at end-2008.

3.5 Global Office Occupation Cost Competitiveness According to CBRE’s Global Market Rent Survey (November 07), Singapore has also risen to 11th position as the most expensive city in US dollar terms, partly due to the Singapore dollar appreciating against the US dollar. A key driver has been the rapid expansion by the financial and banking sectors at a time when the market has been experiencing a shortfall in supply.

Occupation Cost Rank City (US$ psf sf per annum) 1 London (West End), England 328.91 2 Mumbai (Bombay), India 189.51 3 London (City), England 180.80 4 Moscow, Russia 180.78 5 Tokyo (Inner Central), Japan 178.61 6 Tokyo (Outer Central), Japan 154.56 7 Paris, France 127.48 8 New Delhi, India 126.73 9 Dublin, Ireland 113.66 10 Hong Kong 106.31 11 Singapore 102.37 23 Seoul, South Korea 77.58 42 Shanghai (Pudong), China 58.55 48 Sydney (Core), Australia 52.33 50 Amsterdam, Netherlands 52.15

3.6 Office Investment Transactions The investment interest in office assets in Singapore started in 2006, as some $5.0 billion worth of office assets were transacted, a significant improvement from the $1.923 billion in 2005. Purchases were made by Funds, developers, end-users and REITs. For example, CapitaCommercial Trust bought Raffles City jointly with CapitaMall Trust while a new office REIT, K-REIT was listed and traded.

In 2007, the pace of acquiring office buildings gained further momentum as some $9.477 billion worth of private office sales were done. Notably in 2007, MGP Raffles Pte Ltd (Macquarie Global Property Advisors Group) bought 8 Shenton Way (Temasek Tower) from CapitaLand for $1.038 billion ($1,550 psf), setting a benchmark then for a single private office transaction in Singapore.

At the start of 2008, the office investment market remained active, continuing the momentum from 2007. 71 Robinson Road, a Grade A office building that would be completing in 2009, was sold with vacant possession for $743.8 million ($3,125 psf) to Commerz Grundbesitz Investmentgesellschaft (CGI), while Hitachi Tower in Raffles Place was sold for $811 million ($2,901 psf) in January 2008. Lippo (Auric Pacific) sold One Phillip Street to New Star International Property Fund for $99.02 million ($2,736 psf). Lippo had paid $37.6 million ($1,028 psf) to the Kewalram Group for the 999-year leasehold property in February 2006. CCT obtained an option to buy from CapitaLand for $1.17 billion ($2,600 psf), while an expression-of-interest exercise for The Atrium@Orchard closed on 22 February.

Office properties continued to be highly sought-after by investors, with notable acquisitions made by foreign funds who are active in the Singapore property investment market. The foreign investors who are now most active in the market are core and core plus investors, with a focus on longer-term investment returns.

3.7 Capital Values and Yields

3.7.1 Prime Capital Values and Yields Capital values for offices peaked in 1996 at an average of $2,281 psf. Since then the office market has had to weather bleak economic conditions from 1998 to 1999, and from 2002 to 2003. The office capital market did not really have a chance to recover from these setbacks and capital values were flat from 2003 to 2005.

H-23 Office Market Overview

The latest capital value (valuation-based) for prime offices was estimated at $3,100 psf in the first quarter of 2008, reflecting an increase of 72.2% for year-on-year. However, there was no change in prime capital value from end-2007 to end-March 2008. It should be noted that these capital values are valuation-based and that the prime yield is derived from the corresponding average annual prime rent against the average prime capital value. This assumes that an entire building is leased at prevailing market rents. Realistically, an office building in Singapore is seldom fully leased at market rents due to the three year lease-term for most tenancies. As such the normative stabilised yield for a multi-tenanted office building in the CBD in Singapore is estimated to be between 4.0% to 4.5%.

However, in so far as office transactions in the past two years are concerned, there has been evidence to indicate that lower yields were being set. These include a reported property yield of between 3%-3.5% for the sale of SIA Building in April 2007, 3.5% for 1 Finlayson Green in June 2007, and 3.6% for Anson House in December 2007. It is likely that these purchases were made with initial yields ranging between 3.0% to 3.5% with a view that when a significant proportion of tenants in the building have their tenancies renewed at market rent in the near future, the overall property yield for the building would improve.

3.8 General Outlook

3.8.1 Economic Brief The Singapore economy expanded 7.7% in 2007, driven by construction and financial services. The financial services sector posted a growth of 16.9% in 2007, up from 10.6% in 2006, and the business services sector registered growth of 7.8%, compared with 6.9% in 2006. Although the pace of growth in stock broking and fund management activities slowed down towards the end of the year, most segments in the financial sector witnessed rapid growth. Performance in the business services sector was generally broadbased, with the real estate and business representative offices segments being the most significant. In the first quarter of 2008, the services producing industries grew by 7.6%, similar to the 7.7% in Q4 2007 according to flash estimates. Financial services continued to be the fastest growing among the services sectors from January to March 2008.

For the whole year in 2007, the construction sector expanded 20.3%, the fastest growth since 1996. Construction activity was driven by development in the commercial and industrial segments, as well as both the private and public residential sector. In the first three months of 2008, the construction sector was estimated to have grown by 14.6%.

Year 2007 was a record-breaking year of employment creation as a result of the strong economy. A record high of 236,600 jobs were created, surpassing the previous record of 176,000 in 2006. The full year overall unemployment rate dropped to a 10-year low of 2.1%, down from 2.7% in 2006. Retrenchments were also at its lowest in 14 years, with 7,200 workers retrenched in 2007.

Despite the strong showing in 2007, the outlook for external demand in 2008 has deteriorated and downside risks have increased in the last three months of 2007. There is now a consensus that the US economy would enter a slowdown in 2008. While the impact on Singapore’s economy should be limited, provided that the US economy and its financial markets do not experience a more sustained and severe downturn, it remains to be seen how the rest of the world and key industries would be affected. In view of these external uncertainties, the MTI lowered the 2008 GDP forecast range from 4.5%-6.5% to 4.0%-6.0%. Over the longer-term beyond 2010, economic growth is likely to range at about 3.0% to 5.0% per annum as set out by the Economic Review Committee.

Source: EIU Apr 2008

3.8.2 Office Demand and Supply Forecast Assuming that economic growth remains within the moderate growth range of between 3.0% to 5.0%, we can expect an annual demand of some 1.6 million sf to 1.7 million sf in the office market. However, as take-up is also partly a function of supply, this expected take-up would be somewhat restricted by the limited supply until 2010. During 2010, there would likely be some pent up demand. Overall, the average demand for the next five years is envisaged to be about 1.62 million sf per year.

Page 24

H-25 Office Market Overview

There is a confirmed supply of at least 10.18 million sf that would be completed from 2008 to 2012. Taking this confirmed quantum of supply and contrasting it against the expected demand projections, occupancy rates would remain relatively stable. The fluctuation in occupancy rates generally hover between 91% to 93%. After 2010, even with some five million sf of new office supply in 2011 and 2012, occupancy rates are expected to remain above 90%.

New Supply (sf) Take-Up (sf) Occupancy Rate (%)

Source: CBRE Research

The overall contribution of confirmed new supply over the next five years to current office stock is about 14.4%. Compared with the 38.4% increase in office stock from 1991 to 1995 and in view that the Singapore economy is bigger now compared to 10–15 years ago, this increase appears to be in line with overall growth of the country. In addition, pre-commitment activity at projects like the MBFC and EFG Bank demonstrates the confidence that banks and financial institutions have for their business in Singapore going forward. As such these international companies are willing to pre-commit to leases that are 2–3 years ahead of the buildings’ completion.

Looking ahead, there is cause to remain optimistic about the office market. Pre-commitments would still be expected in 2008, with deals being dominated by the banking and financial sector. Given the significant supply coming on-stream in the next few years from both private and public sources, some landlords may start to moderate rental expectations. The Singapore office market is likely to stabilise within the next five years and with the volume of office supply not appearing to be excessive.

3.8.3 Office Rental Projections While further upside to rentals can be envisaged, we expect that the pace of rental growth may ease in the next two to three years. We have observed some measure of tenants’ increasing resistance to rental hikes. The prospect of more future supply is also a consideration, although the time lag before such spaces are completed will still place constraints on occupiers.

Page 25

H-26 Office Market Overview

Given the supply situation in the next five years with demand remaining reasonably stable at 1.62 million sf, rents are projected to increase until the peak in 2009 before easing marginally. Even after 2009, the moderation in rents would not be much cause for alarm, as occupancies are expected to remain strong. As such, though rents would marginally decrease from 2010 onwards, prime and Grade A rents would remain in the double-digit range.

Although Grade A and prime rents start to weaken marginally after 2009, rents for new office buildings with the latest building specifications would be better able to command a premium compared to their older counterparts. While rents are likely to moderate after 2010 with the completion of approximately 7.7 million sf of office space from 2010 to 2012, Grade A and prime rents are expected to stay fairly robust, generally within an estimated range of $12–$15 psf per month, on the back of an expected healthy Singapore economy that would still keep office occupancies above 90% during that period.

H-27 Raffles Place Micromarket Review

4 Raffles Place Micromarket Review The premier office micromarket is centred around the Raffles Place MRT station and covers the area bounded by Boat Quay, Collyer Quay, Pickering Street and South Bridge Road. As the CBD continues to evolve, newer buildings are being developed at the Marina Bay area. Presently, the existing buildings that are part of the Marina Bay office micromarket are few in number, i.e. One Marina Boulevard and One Raffles Quay, and do not yet have the size and volume to form a definitive micromarket. As such, Marina Bay is still considered together with the prime Raffles Place micromarket.

4.1 Stock and Potential Supply The Raffles Place micromarket has a total office stock of about 9.18 million sf (0.85 million sm), or an estimated 19.8% of the total office stock in the CBD. The office buildings in Raffles Place are generally prime and Grade A buildings such as Republic Plaza, UOB Plaza, Capital Square, 6 Battery Road and 1 George Street. The Marina Bay micromarket is still in development and presently has a stock of 1.74 million sf (0.16 million sm) comprising the two towers at One Raffles Quay and One Marina Boulevard. Combined together, the current Raffles Place and Marina Bay office areas account for some 10.92 million sf (1.01 million sm), or 23.6% of CBD stock.

In the next five years, there could possibly be some 1.4 million sf of new office space added to the stock at Raffles Place, an increase of 15%. During the same period the Marina Bay area could potentially witness an addition of 4.46 million sf of office space contributed by the MBFC and the two government land sales sites at Marina View. These new buildings are listed in the supply table in section 3.2.2. The following table shows the breakdown of known new supply in Raffles Place (inclusive of Marina Bay) in the next five years.

4.2 Demand and Occupancy Based on our market intelligence, it is estimated that the average occupancy in Raffles Place area was around 98% from end-2007 to end-March 2008. Currently, occupancy rates for office buildings in Raffles Place have been at the tightest since 2001.

H-28 Raffles Place Micromarket Review

4.3 Rental Levels Office rents in the Raffles Place micromarket escalated to $14.75 psf per month in the first three months of 2008. Grade A buildings in Raffles Place are presently achieving rents of between $18 psf per month to $20 psf per month, while prime buildings within the micromarket are achieving between $16 psf per month to $17 psf per month. The supply crunch in the market as well as increased demand from business expansions resulted in the recent growth in rents. The typical rental premium that a Grade A office has over a prime office normally ranges from 10% to 20%.

4.4 CBD Location vs Suburban Office Locations The increase in overall rentals due to the sheer demand for CBD office space in the past few years has led to businesses looking towards less costly space alternatives, firstly in the fringe areas of the CBD and subsequently suburban office areas. In addition, office occupiers are also turning to hi-tech buildings and business & science parks to meet their spatial needs. These include the backroom operations of financial institutions, where the benefit of more space translates to availability for expansion and where rental levels are lower. As such, rents of fringe and suburban office buildings as well as hi-tech buildings have increased, although the increases have not been as pronounced as office rents within the core CBD. In spite of companies displaying a willingness to move outside the core CBD areas, there is nevertheless stiff competition for limited pockets of office space available in the CBD. The fact remains that a CBD location, and more so the prime Raffles Place office location, would always be able to command a premium in terms of demand and rents as much of the frontline business and financial activities take place at this location. Although secondary business functions have been relocating outside of the CBD, it still remains an imperative that primary business functions continue to be located in the CBD due to the proximity, integration and partnership of various main and supporting commercial networks and services. And looking ahead at the future evolution of the CBD in Singapore, Raffles Place as a CBD location can only become more attractive. The government’s vision that the present CBD be transformed into a place for people from all walks of life to explore, exchange and entertain with a 24/7 vibrancy would result in an influx of many other diverse activities that are complementary to business activities. Not only will this include the highly anticipated Integrated Resort with its world-class hotel, convention, leisure and entertainment facilities, but also other residential and lifestyle/entertainment developments together with the traditional commercial buildings. When assimilated with the infrastructure that is being developed to support these activities, the entire area would be a unique place for working and living, thereby increasing the attractiveness of Raffles Place as a much sought after location. As Singapore progresses as a financial centre for the region and into a global city, more business demand would be created. An office development in Raffles Place would be able to take advantage of the incoming wealth management companies as well as expanding banks and financial institutions. International organisations making their entry or establishing headquarters in Singapore and the region would typically choose a prime CBD first and foremost for much of these operations, before considering non-CBD locations for their secondary or supporting activities. Therefore, a Grade A office building with quality building specifications and superior finishes would combine with the locational attributes of Raffles Place to attract prestigious international tenants.

H-32 Review of 1 George Street

5.4 The Acquisition of 1 George Street CapitaCommercial Trust (CCT), obtained a call option on 26 March 2008 from George Street Pte. Ltd., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CapitaLand Limited for the purchase of 1 George Street at a price of $1.165 billion or $2,600 psf of net lettable area. CapitaLand will provide a yield protection to CCT, ensuring a minimum net property income of $49.5 million per annum which translates to a net property yield of 4.25% per annum on the purchase price for five years, from the date of completion of the acquisition till 2013.

The price of $2,600 psf for the purchase of 1 George Street appears to be a attractive price as it is a new building with modern specifications. There have been recent transactions of other office buildings for comparable prices, for example, 71 Robinson Road which was sold in April 2008 for $3,125 psf (currently under redevelopment), One Philip Street which was sold in February 2008 for $2,736 psf and Hitachi Tower which was sold in January 2008 for $2,901 psf.

At the same time, the yield protection of 4.25% represents a yield that is stable and normative for a modern Grade A office building in a prime location in Singapore. This yield is attractive considering the accepted range of 4.0% to 4.5% for quality office buildings in Singapore.

H-43 SECTION ONE ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

1.0 Introduction

In the last decade, Singapore has transformed itself into a thriving financial centre of international repute, servicing Asia-Pacific and the global markets. It is often used as a springboard to the abundant opportunities in the region. Today Singapore is, amongst others, a global foreign exchange trading hub and a key wealth management centre with a cluster of supporting business services.

Singapore’s strategic location in a region of growing opportunities is underpinned by its political stability; a pro-business environment; excellent hard and soft infrastructure; a highly-skilled, talented and cosmopolitan workforce and emphasis on good corporate governance, intellectual property rights and fair judiciary.

1.1 GDP Growth

Singapore has weathered two recessions in the last 10 years: in 1998 when recession was precipitated by the Asian financial crisis and in 2001 following the NASDAQ crash and the 911 event, SARS in 2003 and global economic slowdown (Figure 1.1). These difficult periods have provided valuable lessons for Singapore to restructure its economy, to be more resilient against external shocks. The economy has experienced robust growth since 2004, well above the average 5.3% in the last decade.

Note: GDP at 2000 Market Prices Source: CEIC, MTI, MAS, DTZ Consulting & Research, May 2008

Riding on the momentum, the Singapore economy grew by a robust 7.7% in 2007. Growth in the services sector gained pace from 7.5% in 2006 to 8.1% in 2007, in contrast with the manufacturing sector which grew by 5.8% compared with the 11.9% in 2006. The construction sector expanded at its fastest pace (20.3%) since 1996, underpinned by the development of major public and private sector projects.

Preliminary estimates showed that GDP rose by 7.2% (YOY) in 1Q08, supported by expansion in manufacturing (13.2%) and in particular, surge in output in the biomedical manufacturing sector. The construction sector also expanded (14.6%) while growth in the services producing industry (7.6%) was similar to the previous quarter, underpinned by growth in financial services, the fastest growing services sector.

Independent Market Review in Respect of 1 George Street Page 2

H-45 1.2 Main Contributors to GDP

Key contributors to GDP in 2007 were the manufacturing (26.1%) and financial & business services sectors (23.2%) which collectively contributed almost 50% to GDP (Figure 1.2). Under Singapore’s economic blue print, these sectors are identified as the twin pillars of growth.

1.3 Employment

Employment gain reached a record high (236,900) in 2007 with gains across all sectors. Consequently, unemployment rate declined from 2.7% in 2006 to 2.1% in 2007, the lowest in the decade.

1.4 Inflation

Inflation has been kept in check, averaging at less than 1% in the last decade. However, in line with global trends, inflationary pressure rose in 2H07 with CPI inflation reaching 2.1% in 2007.

Independent Market Review in Respect of 1 George Street Page 3

H-46 1.5 Economic Outlook

Notwithstanding the current situation, the financial and business services sectors in Singapore (the major occupiers of office space) are expected to continue to expand, riding on the vast opportunities in Asia:

x Asia has become an attractive investment destination; x Asia’s growth has created wealth. Three of the largest ten economies – Japan, China and India – are in Asia. Both the new rich and the growing middle-class will require more services e.g., wealth management; x Asia has a growing population. In addition, the population is aging. The demographic change will spur demand for more services e.g., healthcare financing, retirement planning; and pension, annuity & other life-cycle products; and x As Asian governments build up their reserves, these sovereign wealth funds will require professionals to manage their portfolios.

Riding on its current success, Singapore is in the position to further develop the range of investment instruments in the marketplace, to better understand and manage risks to assist public and private enterprises.

The global economy is expected to continue to grow, albeit at a slower pace in 2008. Underlying momentum of the Asian economies will allow Singapore to ride out the US economic slow down, although a sharp and deep contraction in the US economy will affect all economies.

With weakening of the external environment, against the backdrop of the US sub-prime mortgage debacle which continues to unwind, higher inflation, credit squeeze, lower investor confidence and volatile stock markets, the Ministry of Trade and Industry has moderated 2008 economic growth forecast to 4-6%. CPI inflation is expected to rise to 4.5-5.5% in 2008, given high commodity prices (in particular energy and food prices) as well as domestic wage and rental costs.

Nevertheless, restructuring of the Singapore economy since the 1997 Asia financial crisis into a more diversified and global economy, riding on the strengths of its neighbours – in particular China and India – will render the economy more resilient. The 2008 budget which centered on enhancing education and training opportunities, fostering innovation, maintaining competitiveness by supporting growth of the small- and medium-sized enterprises and strengthening Singapore’s role as a financial and business hub, will put Singapore in good stead to ride out the uncertainty.

H-47 SECTION TWO OFFICE MARKET OVERVIEW

2.0 Introduction

2007 was a phenomenal year for the office property market. Fuelled by strong economic growth which led to high demand for office space, rental and capital values surged with office rents reaching historic highs due to robust demand and limited availability. As a result, occupancy of private sector offices soared to 93.2% by end 2007.

To provide temporary relief for the immediate office supply crunch, measures were implemented by the government which includes introduction of transitional offices and suspension of the conversion of office spaces to other uses in the Central Area1 until 31 December 2009. Several government agencies will also be relocating out of the Central Business District (CBD), releasing about 20,000 sq m (215,278 sq ft) of office space to the private sector by 2009.

2.1 Existing Supply2

The total stock of office space in Singapore amounted to 6.6m sq m (70.9m sq ft) in 1Q08, of which 78.9% (5.2m sq m/56.0m sq ft) is private. The stock of private office space has increased by an average 71,000 sq m/764,000 sq ft per annum3 in the last decade (Figure 2.1).

Growth in new space has been below trend line since 2003. Poor economic outlook during the Asian financial crisis and again following 911 and SARs in the 2001-2003 period has resulted in developers holding back their development plans. Consequently, as the economy picked up, there was limited new supply, especially supply of well-specified office buildings catering to the needs of global financial institutions and multi-national corporations (MNCs).

Just over 32,070 sq m (345,200 sq ft) Net Lettable Area (NLA) of new private office space was completed in 2007, one of the lowest in the last decade (Table 2.1). Vision Crest and The Central4 were the only major private new completions in 1Q08.

Besides limited new supply, demolition of office developments in 2007 was also the highest in the decade. Seven major office buildings totalling 95,130 sq m (1.0m sq ft) were demolished in 2007 (Table 2.2). Except for 1 Shenton Way, which is being redeveloped into residential, other office developments in the CBD including Crosby House, Asia Chamber Building, Ocean Building and OUB Building, are being redeveloped as offices. Consequently, despite new completions, the stock of private offices has declined by about 14,000 sq m (150,690 sq ft) from the peak in end 2006.

2.2 Potential Supply5

According to the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA), potential supply of private office space between 2Q2008 and 2012 is some 1.5m sq m (16.0m sq ft), of which 705,000 sq m (7.6m sq ft)/48% is under construction, 50,000 sq m (538,200 sq ft)/3% with written permission and 425,000 sq m (4.6m sq ft)/29% with Provisional Permission (Figure 2.2). New supply in 2008 remains low as majority of the new supply will complete from 2010 onwards.

Our research on private purpose-built office space shows that total potential supply between 2Q2008 and 2012 is some 1.2m sq m (12.9m sq ft). With development of Marina Bay and rejuvenation of the existing CBD, an estimated 43% of this potential purpose-built office spaces7 is located in Marina Bay. Only an estimated 16% of the potential supply will be in Raffles Place while Shenton Way/ Robinson Road/ Cecil Street will constitute another estimated 12%. Concurrently, as decentralization develops further, more new offices are expected in areas such as Tampines (Figure 2.3 & Table 2.3).

To provide temporary relief for the immediate office supply crunch, the government released transitional office sites for sale to private developers. These are sites for office uses with a short leasehold tenure of 15-years, as opposed to the typical 99-year leasehold tenure for other office sites. Five transitional office sites were awarded since 2007 (Table 2.5). These new office buildings are scheduled to complete in 2008 and 2009.

2.5 Demand & Occupancy

Demand for office space has increased in line with economic growth since 2004. It initially emanated mainly from financial institutions, especially in areas of wealth and asset management. Demand soon became more broad-based and filtered to other supporting businesses such as IT, management and legal.

Independent Property Market Review In Respect of 1 George Street Page 14

H-57 Annual demand for private office space in the last decade averaged 89,900 sq m (967,670 sq ft) with peak demand at a high of 335,000 sq m (3.6m sq ft) in 2000 (Figure 2.4). Demand in 2007 was 141,580 sq m (1.5m sq ft) while that in 1Q08 was only 12,220 sq m (131,560 sq ft), due to the lack of availability. There was also a leakage of some demand for non-core and back-room operations to business parks and high-tech industrial space for qualifying uses, as well as to disused state properties. However, for front-end offices, especially for high-profile businesses and those in the financial and business services, a CBD address and its associated prestige, are still important.

Robust demand, coupled with limited increase in stock of private office space resulted in islandwide occupancy increasing progressively from a low of 81.4% in 4Q03 to 93.2% in 4Q07. With pockets of availability, it is now increasingly difficult to find prime contiguous space in the CBD, where most of the demand is focused. Notwithstanding, occupancy eased marginally to 92.7% in 1Q08, due partly to leakage of demand to non-traditional offices.

H-58 2.6 Rental Trend

The office rental trend is closely correlated to Singapore’s economic performance since the driver of office demand is also one of the twin engines of economic growth – the financial & business services sector. The leasing market bottomed in 1999 and 2003 in tandem with economic recession. Rents have continued to rise unabatedly since 2004 in line with economic growth, underpinned by expansion in the financial & business services sector.

The URA Rental Index11 (All Areas) escalated by 12.7% (Central Area: 13.3%) in 2005, 30.3% (Central Area: 31.7%) in 2006, 56.1% (Central Area: 58.0%) in 2007 and 7.3% (Central Area: 7.3%) in 1Q08 (Figure 2.5). Median rents in the Central Area reached a high of $113.8412 per sq m ($10.58 per sq ft) per month in 1Q08, 2.5 times that three years ago.

Leasing momentum remains on track as tenants chase after the limited pockets of available space. Demand continues to emanate from banks and financial institutions and supporting businesses. However, the rate of rental increase is beginning to moderate after escalating in the last two years.

H-59 2.7 Office Occupancy Costs in Selected Business Capital Cities

DTZ’s annual survey of global prime office occupancy costs in Jan 2008 showed that although office rents have escalated significantly in Singapore, it remains competitive. In Asia-Pacific, occupancy costs in Singapore ranked 3rd, after Hong Kong and Tokyo (Central 5 wards). Singapore’s competitiveness hold true even when compared with other business capital cities (Table 2.6).

In 1Q08, occupancy costs in Singapore and Hong Kong continued to rise to $172.44 per sq m ($16.02 per sq ft) per month and $249.08 per sq m ($23.14 per sq ft) per month respectively.

Many global businesses continue to establish and/or expand their presence in Singapore despite rising costs because of the vast business opportunities available and the value-add a Singapore- based operation brings to the organization.

H-60 2.8 Investment Transactions

Investor confidence in Singapore has increased in tandem with its evolution into a regional/global city. Its strategic location in the fastest growing region in the world, coupled with a transparent and clear real estate investment framework and a developed REIT market, has attracted global institutional investors (Table 2.7).

H-65 Investor confidence in the Singapore office market was reinforced with the latest acquisition of the leasehold 71 Robinson Road by German-based Commerz Real AG for a record $743.8m21, 7.7% higher than the per unit sale price for the sale of Hitachi Tower22 in Jan 08. The owners (Lehman Brothers and Kajima Overseas Asia), purchased the site for $163.4m in Oct 06 to be redeveloped into a 15-storey prime office23 by mid-2009. The owners will give Commerz Real a coupon of 4.5% during the construction period.

2.9 Prices and Yields

Office prices bottomed out in 2004, in line with rents. The URA Price Index (Central Area) increased by 3.8% in 2005, 17.2% in 2006, 32.9% in 2007 and a marginal 1.0% in 1Q08 (Figure 2.6). Price growth in 1Q08 was muted by the credit squeeze as well as the economic uncertainty as investors turn cautious. Meanwhile, Median Price (Central Area) reached $11,246 per sq m ($1,040 per sq ft) in 1Q08.

H-66 There is an increasing divergence between rents and prices as price increases lagged rental increases (Figure 2.7). Although yield bands are historically fairly tight in Singapore, ranging from 3.5% to 5%, yields of sale transactions over the last 12-18 months have been at a range of 3.5% or below. Rising rents with the lag in prices have resulted in improving yields to around 4% to 4.5%.

2.10 Market Outlook

Demand for office space is underpinned by the financial and business services sector, which collectively contributed to 23.3% of GDP in 2007. The sector is identified as one of the twin pillars of Singapore’s economic growth.

Despite on-going uncertainty in the global financial markets, prospects in the financial industry remain relatively positive as Singapore has a significant role to play as for global investors to access Asia. As a regional hub with over 600 local and foreign financial institutions, it is also well connected to global markets through the extensive network of Free Trade Agreements. The clustering of financial and supporting businesses and Singapore’s commitment towards a cosmopolitan society in attracting global talents, will continue to make it attractive.

Independent Property Market Review In Respect of 1 George Street Page 24

H-67 Demand in the next two years will be constrained by supply. Although availability will be extremely tight in 2008/09, significant new supply will be available from 2010. One of the key potential supply is the Marina Bay Financial Centre (MBFC). Some 139,750 sq m (1.5 mil sq ft) in MBFC has already been pre-committed. Scheduled to complete in 2010, 57% (87,960 sq m/946,796 sq ft of NLA) of Phase 1 of the development has been pre-committed by global companies such as Standard Chartered Bank, Barclays and Natixis while 56% (65,030 sq m/700,000 sq ft) of Phase 2 has been pre-committed by DBS Bank. The new supply emerging in 2010 and beyond is therefore expected to attract substantial pre-commitments prior to completion, as occupiers take the opportunity to strategise their accommodation in well located and well specified commercial space.

As more office space is made available, it will enable underlying demand to expand as demand is currently constrained by the lack of space and will continue to be so until new supply is available. As the tight supply situation eases, rents are likely to moderate to more sustainable levels, reinforcing Singapore’s attractiveness as a financial & business services hub.

H-68 SECTION THREE RAFFLES PLACE MARKET REVIEW

3.0 Introduction

Like many global cities, Singapore’s office market has evolved over the years with most prime offices located in the CBD. The CBD, comprising Raffles Place, Shenton Way, Robinson Road/ Cecil Street and Marina Bay has approximately 35.5% of the total private purpose-built office stock in Singapore24 (Map 3.1).

H-69 The Raffles Place area, where 1 George Street is located, is the financial and business hub of Singapore. It is bounded by Singapore River to east, Singapore River/Raffles Quay to the south, Cross Street to the west and South Bridge Road to the north. Many banks, financial institutions, MNCs and other conglomerates are headquartered in Raffles Place where the clustering of financial and business activities has added to its attraction. Some 15.0% of the purpose-built office stock is in Raffles Place which comprises a mix of freehold and leasehold commercial buildings (Figure 3.1).

Figure 3.1 15% of Purpose-built Office Space is in Raffles Place (1Q08)

Marina Bay 2%

Raffles Place 15%

Orchard Road CBD 9% 35% Shenton Way/ Robinson Road/ Cecil Street 18%

Fringe Area 29%

Source: DTZ Consulting & Research, May 2008

Shenton Way/Robinson Road/Cecil Street has the largest share of purpose-built offices in the CBD (18.1%). Many office buildings in the area are leasehold as they were developed through the Government Land Sales (GLS) Programme which started in the late 1960s/early 1970s. The area has experienced some rejuvenation with redevelopment e.g., Capital Tower and SGX Centre. Financial institutions, mainly those in insurance, shipping and professional services firms are located here.

Independent Market Review in Respect of 1 George Street Page 27

H-70 Marina Bay is conceived as the seamless extension of Raffles Place and Shenton Way in the CBD, catering to global financial and other businesses, a hub for live, work and play. Development of Marina Bay will strengthen Singapore's position as an international business and financial hub. One Marina Boulevard and One Raffles Quay are currently the only two completed developments in Marina Bay with another two office developments under construction/plan: MBFC and Marina View.

Distinctive night lighting of key buildings and structures will enhance Marina Bay’s skyline while a comprehensive pedestrian system of landscaped boulevards, covered walkways, underground link malls and high-level links will enhance accessibility. Sites in Marina Bay will be released progressively for development over the medium- to long-term, generating around 1.27m sq m (13.7m sq ft) of gross floor area and 1,150 residential units.

The Orchard Road area is another major office location in Singapore (9.2% of total private purpose-built office stock), situated alongside retail, F&B and entertainment amenities along Singapore’s premier shopping street - Orchard Road. Offices along Orchard Road are mainly MNCs and those in the retail-, tourism- and entertainment-related trades.

Other office spaces are scattered in the Fringe (28.4%) and Decentralised Areas (26.9%) e.g. Novena, Alexandra and Harbourfront. Development of non-CBD offices was encouraged by the government’s decentralisation policy of commercial uses to the regional, sub-regional and fringe centres in the 1990s, facilitated by development of the mass rapid transit (MRT). However, as the government started tendering land parcels in Marina Bay in the early 2000s, this has brought some focus back to the CBD.

3.1 Location Analysis

Raffles Place is readily accessible by public transport – buses, taxis and MRT (Map 3.2). The Raffles Place interchange MRT station is located in the area. Accessibility will be further enhanced with completion of the Downtown Line (DTL) by 2016. The DTL will enhance connectivity of the MRT system and facilitate direct travel from the north-western and eastern areas of Singapore to the CBD and the Marina Bay. Stage 1 of the 4.3km underground DTL1 will have 6 stations: Bugis (interchange with East West Line), Promenade, Bayfront, Landmark, Cross Street and Chinatown (interchange with North East Line).

Raffles Place is also readily accessible by car to the Central Expressway, East Coast Parkway and Ayer Rajah Expressway, connecting it to the northern, eastern and western parts of Singapore respectively.

3.2 Existing Supply

The stock of purpose-built office space in Raffles Place has declined over the years as obsolete buildings e.g., Ocean Building, were demolished for redevelopment. As at 1Q08, there was an estimated 783,360 sq m (8.4m sq ft) of private purpose-built office space in Raffles Place, a 6.2% reduction from the 835,130 sq m (9.0m sq ft) in 2005 (Figure 3.2).

H-74 3.4 Demand & Occupancy

Raffles Place attracts high-profile occupiers, especially those in the financial and business services sector for their regional and corporate headquarters. Between 1999 and 2007, annual demand for purpose-built office space in Raffles Place averaged 15,490 sq m (166,710 sq ft).

Demand for Raffles Place purpose-built offices contracted in 2001 and 2002 due to the NASDAQ crash and global slowdown. Local banks were also restructuring/undergoing M&A which resulted in excess space being given up. In contrast, contraction in demand for purpose-built office space in 2007 was due principally to the reduction in stock as buildings such as Ocean Building were demolished, forcing occupiers to look elsewhere for space. There were also some relocation out of Raffles Place to other parts of the CBD while yet others decoupled their operations to better manage occupational costs.

Demand in 1Q08 contracted marginally by an estimated 360 sq m (3,838 sq ft). Similarly, occupancy for purpose-built office space in Raffles Place eased marginally to 97.8% in 1Q08 from 98.2% in end 2007, (Figure 3.4).

Prime Raffles Place rents increased by 51.7% (Median Rents in Central Area: 31.7%) in 2006, 94.1% in (Central Area: 58.0%) in 2007 and 13.9% (Central Area: 7.3%) in 1Q08 Prime monthly gross rents in Raffles Place breached record highs in 2007 and averaged $202 per sq m ($18.80 per sq ft) in 1Q08 (Figure 3.5).

Source: DTZ Consulting & Research, May 2008

There is also a growing disparity between Median Rents in the Central Area and rents of prime offices in Raffles Place. This is a reflection of the nature of demand, which is increasingly driven by regional and global businesses which require well-specified office space to cater to their stringent requirements. Hence the premium between prime Raffles Place rents and Median Rents in the Central Area have widened from 18.3% in 2005 to 77.8% in 1Q08.

H-76 3.6 CBD vs Other Office Locations

The development of well-specified office buildings and business parks has given occupiers accommodation options. This trend is further encouraged by the development of the MRT. As more rail lines (e.g., Circle Line, Downtown Line, Eastern Region Line and Thomson Line) are completed, accessibility to non-CBD areas will be significantly improved. Together with the development of transit-oriented-developments and mixed-use complexes incorporating office and supporting retail, F&B and entertainment uses, the attractiveness of these locations for offices will be enhanced.

The development of non-CBD offices will offer occupiers the choice of accommodation that optimizes their operations. As it is, to better manage overall occupational costs, non-core backroom offices are gradually being relocated out of the CBD to fringe and suburban office locations. This strategy enables organizations to pay top rents for their front offices in prime CBD locations and lower rents for others.

Several banks such as DBS Bank, Standard Chartered Bank and Citibank have leased built-to- suit buildings in Changi Business Park to house their backroom offices. HSBC has also leased space at Comtech, a high-tech industrial building.

The development of offices outside the CBD will add to the variety of accommodation available to the full spectrum of businesses ranging from global businesses to small- and medium-enterprises. This will ultimately add to the competitiveness of Singapore as a business hub and attract even more businesses. Notwithstanding, there will always be occupiers who, by nature of their trade and standing, will only demand prime office space in the CBD. CBD will continue to remain as the location of choice for high profile businesses, especially for the financial and business services sectors.

H-77 3.7 Rental Forecast

Prime rents for Raffles Place increased by 14%, from $178 per sq m ($16.50 per sq ft) in 4Q2007 to $202 per sq m ($18.80 per sq ft) in 1Q2008. Based on our evaluation of the office market and prime offices in particular, we expect prime rents in Raffles Place to increase by another 5% for the rest of 2008 (Table 3.2).

Table 3.2 Forecast of Prime Raffles Place Rents 1Q 2008 End 2008 End 2009 End 2010 Monthly Gross Rent $ per sq m 202 212 212 190 ($ per sq ft) (18.80) (19.70) (19.70) (17.70)

While rents are expected to moderate by less than 10% in 2011/2012, as new supply kicks in, demand for prime office space in Raffles Place will outperform the rest of the market as it caters to regional/global businesses which require quality space in the CBD and are willing to pay for it. Going forward, fundamentals supporting the Singapore office market remain good:

x Regional opportunities. Singapore has reinforced its role as the gateway to the fast-growing Asia- Pacific. A pro-business environment and supporting infrastructure will continue to attract global companies e.g., asset and wealth management. As opportunities in the region grows, Singapore will be the springboard to the region; x Domestic opportunities. There are numerous infrastructural and other mega projects underway e.g., the proposed MRT lines, two integrated resorts, Gardens by the Bay and Singapore Barrage. Some of these projects will require new skills sets, currently not available in Singapore; x Clustering. As more regional/global companies expand in Singapore, especially when space becomes available in 2010 with completion of the iconic MBFC, the clustering and multiplier effect will snowball;

Independent Market Review in Respect of 1 George Street Page 35

H-78 x Rejuvenation of the existing CBD. As space becomes available, this will give owners the opportunity to rejuvenate the existing CBD. In the 1970s/80s when the government released land along Shenton Way/Ceil Street/Robinson Road, it encouraged some occupiers to relocate from the prime Raffles Place which gave it the opportunity to regenerate. Today, Raffles Place is once again the financial and business hub of Singapore. The existing CBD needs to rejuvenate to remain relevant as many of the buildings are obsolete and do not cater to the demands of today’s office users. Some of these office buildings may even undergo a change of use to transform the existing CBD into a live, work and play environment. This will reduce the stock of offices in the existing CBD; and x Competitiveness. While Singapore is a destination of choice for many MNCs, it needs to stay competitive on a regional/global basis. Occupancy costs have escalated significantly in the last two years and the new supply will give respite to occupiers as costs are reigned in. The sustainable increase in rents in the medium- to longer-term, coupled with a choice of locations in CBD and elsewhere, will enable occupiers to better manage their overheads, paying top rents for front offices and lower rents for others. This will ultimately make Singapore a more attractive location for businesses, underpinning fundamentals in the office market.

H-79 SECTION FOUR REVIEW OF 1 GEORGE STREET

4.0 Introduction

1 George Street is a prime office development designed by renowned architects Skidmore, Owings & Merrill.

It won Building & Construction Authority of Singapore’s Green Mark Gold Award for its environmental sustainability. The award recognises building owners who adopt building practices that are environmentally conscious and socially responsible. Indeed, environmental sustainability is an increasingly important criterion in the choice of accommodation for global and other occupiers as organizations place more emphasis on corporate social responsibility.

4.1 Property Details

1 George Street has an impressive sense of arrival with an 18-m high main entrance. The 5th storey is an urban sanctuary with recreational and commercial facilities incorporating a gymnasium (managed by Fitness First) and pool26. Tenants in the building also have more than the usual allocation of car parking lots compared with many newer developments.

H-81 4.2 Location

1 George Street is conveniently located at the junction of South Bridge Road and Pickering Street, in the Raffles Place area, close to major transport hubs and other prime office buildings e.g., Great Eastern Centre, OCBC Centre, Capital Square, Far East Square and China Square Central (Map 4.1). Hong Lim Park is located directly across South Bridge Road from 1 George Street.

One George Street is a short walk from Raffles Place MRT station, the interchange station between the East West and North South MRT Lines, as well as the Clarke Quay MRT station on the North East Line. It is also readily accessible by car to the major expressways: Central Expressway to the north, East Coast Parkway to the east and Ayer Rajah Expressway to the west. A wide range of retail, F&B and entertainment facilities around the Boat Quay and Clark Quay areas are readily accessible.

Independent Market Review in Respect of 1 George Street Page 39

H-82 4.3 Occupancy and Rentals

1 George Street is 100% occupied as at 31 December 2007, higher than the overall 97.8% in Raffles Place. It has major tenants which includes MNCs such as those in banking, insurance & financial services and legal: x Canadian High Commission; x Lloyds of London (Asia) Pte Ltd; x Royal Bank of Scotland; x WongPartnership LLP; and x Borouge Pte. Ltd.

As the building is fully committed, there are no quoted rents. However, if space is available, the asking monthly gross rents for 1 George Street is likely to be in the region of that for prime offices in Raffles Place, which are currently asking for around $226-$237 per sq m ($21.00 to $22.00 per sq ft). Pre-leasing of CBD buildings scheduled to complete in the next three years are generally asking in the range of $183 to $215 per sq m ($17 to $20 per sq ft) per month.

4.4 Acquisition of 1 George Street

CapitaCommercial Trust (CCT) obtained a call option on 26 March 2008 from George Street Pte Ltd, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CapitaLand Limited, for the purchase of 1 George Street, at a price of $1.165 bil ($27,990 per sq m/$2,600 per sq ft of NLA)27. CapitaLand Limited will provide a yield protection to CCT, ensuring a minimum net property income of $49,512,500 per annum or a yield of 4.25% per annum on the purchase price for five years, from the date of completion of the acquisition till 2013.

The yield of 4.25% for this prime quality asset is in line with market expectations where funds are typically looking at yields of 4-4.5% for prime CBD offices. While yields of the sale transactions over the last 12-18 months have been at the range of 3.5% or below, the most recent sale in April 08 of 71 Robinson Road, has a guaranteed coupon of 4.5% during the period of construction. While office rents are expected to ease from 2010, we expect rents for 1 George Street to be relatively resilient given its Raffles Place location, excellent building specifications and tenant profile.
