SECURITY PURCHASE PLAN

I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to acquire additional Abacus Property Group securities under a Security Purchase Plan ( SPP ). The SPP enables securityholders to acquire new APG securities up to a value of $5,000 free from brokerage and other transaction costs. Proceeds from the SPP will be used to partly fund identified property acquisition opportunities and to continue to grow our funds management business.

The new securities will be issued at a 2.5% discount to the volume weighted average price over the ten trading days up to and including 7 November 2007, which is the closing date for this offer. The amount you subscribe (up to $5,000) will be divided by the issue price in order to determine how many securities you will receive (see attached terms). Fractional entitlements will be rounded up.

The daily price of APG securities can be monitored through the Australian Stock Exchange website or the financial pages of major newspapers.

Securities issued under the SPP will qualify for the distribution payment for the quarter ending 31 December 2007. Further details on the SPP are provided in the attached terms.

Your participation in the SPP is optional. If you do not wish to purchase additional securities, there is no need to take any action. If you do want to participate, please send your completed application and payment so that our registry receives them before 5.00 pm (Sydney time) on 7 November 2007. A reply paid envelope is enclosed.

If you require further information, please contact your financial adviser or telephone Abacus on 1800 253 860 or email [email protected].

Yours faithfully,
