ASX Announcement

MacarthurCook Property Securities Fund

Fund Update

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Responsible Entity of the MacarthurCook Property Securities Fund (“the Fund” or “MPS”), MacarthurCook Fund Management Limited (“MacarthurCook”), is pleased to provide the market with the following update.

Debt Repayment

The Fund has made the scheduled repayment of A$2 million to OCBC on 28 December 2012 as part of its commitment to retire the debt facility with OCBC. This repayment was funded through the operating cash flows of the Fund and from redemptions on a number of Fund investments. This is a favourable outcome for the Fund as it continues to reduce the debt gearing level of the Fund.

As per previous announcements, the OCBC Debt Facility is extended to 30 June 2013 with a final balance of A$3.3 million to be repaid at the end of the OCBC Debt Facility term. As at the time of this announcement, the total debt outstanding for the Fund is approximately $4.7 million.

Yours sincerely

George Wang Executive Chairman MacarthurCook Fund Management Limited
