ASX Announcement – Australian Unity Office Fund

13 June 2019

Estimated June 2019 valuations

Australian Unity Investment Real Estate Limited ( AUIREL ) as Responsible Entity of Australian Unity Office Fund (ASX: AOF ) announces that the following five properties are in the final stages of being externally valued as at 30 June 2019:

  • 10 Valentine Avenue, Parramatta

  • 5 Eden Park Drive, North Ryde

  • 468 St Kilda Road, Melbourne

  • 241 Adelaide Street, Brisbane

  • 64 Northbourne Avenue, Canberra

Combined, these preliminary valuations:

  • have resulted in an increase of approximately $14 million, or approximately 9 cents per unit, over the preceding book value immediately prior to the valuation of those properties; and

  • reflect a weighted average tightening in capitalisation rates of approximately 39 bps since each of these properties were revalued in June 2018.

The board of AUIREL has established an Independent Board Committee ( IBC ) to consider and evaluate the unsolicited, indicative and non-binding proposal received from an entity associated with Abacus Property Group (ASX: ABP) and Charter Hall Group (ASX: CHC) to acquire all of the issued units in AOF that it does not already hold for $2.95 cash per unit.
