AIMS and its associates have a relevant interests in 19.99% of the units in the Fund. If all Eligible Unitholders take up their Entitlements in full, the relevant interest of AIMS (and its associates) will not change.

The following table shows the potential effect that the Entitlement Offer may have on control of the Fund at various levels of take-up under the Entitlement Offer assuming that AIMS takes up its full Entitlement and no unitholders participate in the Shortfall Facility. If Eligible Unitholders and Singapore CDP Account Holders participate in the Shortfall Facility, this will reduce the potential effect that the Entitlement Offer may have on control of the Fund.

Take-up under	Relevant interest post Entitlement Offer	Relevant interest post Entitlement Offer
Entitlement Offer*	AIMS	Other unitholders
100%	19.99%	80.01%
75%	29.29%	70.71%
50%	38.57%	61.43%
25%	47.86%	52.14%
0%	57.14%	42.86%

• Assuming that AIMS takes up its full Entitlement.

If there is a material effect on control of the Fund following completion of the Entitlement Offer by virtue of AIMS increasing its relevant interest pursuant to the underwriting and sub-underwriting arrangements, AIMS has confirmed to the Responsible Entity that it has no intention to change the operation of the Fund from the manner in which it is currently operated by the Responsible Entity. The Responsible Entity will continue to operate the Fund and perform the functions conferred on it by the Fund's constitution and all applicable laws and follow the operational strategy for the Fund as outlined in the 2011 Annual Report and subsequent announcements to unitholders.
