On 20 April 2012, MacarthurCook Fund Management Limited ( Responsible Entity ) as responsible entity of MacarthurCook Property Securities Fund ( Fund ) announced a fully underwritten non-renounceable entitlement offer to raise approximately A$5.869 million ( Entitlement Offer ).

Details of the Entitlement Offer

The Offer Price of A$0.035 or S$0.0454 represents a 51.9% discount to the volume weighted average price of units traded on the ASX over the 10 trading days up to and including 13 April 2012.[1]

Eligible Unitholders[2] may also apply for New Units in excess of their Entitlement ( Additional Units ) under a shortfall facility ( Shortfall Facility ). Any Additional Units will be limited to the extent of any shortfall under the Entitlement Offer. Unitholders should satisfy themselves that they are able to acquire Additional Units in accordance with the applicable laws before applying for Additional Units. The Independent Directors reserve the right to issue any shortfall at their discretion. The Independent Directors have determined that to the extent that applications under the Shortfall Facility and underwriting arrangements (described below) exceed any shortfall under the Entitlement Offer, the applications will be scaled back according to applicants' pro rata unitholding as at the Record Date and applicable Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) requirements. In the case of Singapore CDP Account Holders (defined below), the pro rata allocation will be based on the number of units which are standing to the credit of their Central Depository Pte Limited ( CDP ) securities account as at the Record Date.

Persons who hold units in the Fund that are traded on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited ( SGX ) and whose units are registered in the name of CDP (the Singapore CDP Account Holders ) are not being made an offer under the Entitlement Offer.[3] Further information on how Singapore CDP Account Holders may instruct CDP to apply for New Units or Additional Units is provided below.

Proceeds from the Entitlement Offer will be used to repay part of the Fund's existing debt facilities and pay the expenses of the Entitlement Offer. The Responsible Entity has secured an extension to the existing debt facility with OCBC so that the repayment formerly due on 31 March 2012 is now payable upon settlement of the Entitlement Offer.

The Entitlement Offer is being made by the Responsible Entity without a product disclosure statement in accordance with section 1012DAA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

Full details of the Entitlement Offer will be set out in an offer booklet ( Offer Booklet ). The Offer Booklet and accompanying Entitlement and Acceptance Form will be mailed to Eligible Unitholders on or around 8 May 2012.

New Units issued under the Entitlement Offer will rank equally with existing units on issue. Fractional Entitlements will be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Underwriting and sub-underwriting arrangements

1 Being the last trading day that the units in the Fund traded on ASX prior to the Fund going into a trading halt prior to the announcement of the Entitlement Offer.

2 Excluding any Eligible Unitholders who have already been offered an opportunity to participate in the sub-underwriting of the Entitlement Offer.

3 This is because Singapore CDP Account Holders are not Eligible Unitholders as they do not hold a registered interest in units in the Fund.

BBY Limited (AFSL 238095) is acting as financial adviser to the Responsible Entity and has provided the Responsible Entity with advice in respect to, among other things, the structure and pricing of the Entitlement Offer.

MacarthurCook Fund Management Limited (AFSL 258052) in its personal capacity ( MacarthurCook ) has agreed to fully underwrite the Entitlement Offer under an underwriting deed. AIMS Group Holding Pty Ltd ( AIMS ), the ultimate holding company of MacarthurCook, is also a party to the underwriting deed. AIMS has agreed to exercise its powers as holding company to ensure that MacarthurCook performs its commitments as underwriter under the underwriting deed. AIMS has also agreed to pay to the Responsible Entity on demand any amount that MacarthurCook fails to pay the Responsible Entity in respect of underwritten units.

The five largest unitholders that are wholesale clients[4] have been approached in relation to an opportunity to sub-underwrite the Entitlement Offer. AIMS and Laxey Partners Ltd ( Laxey ) have each agreed to sub-underwrite the Entitlement Offer. AIMS and its associates have a relevant interest in 12.09% of the units in the Fund. Substantial holder notice disclosed by Laxey indicates that Laxey and its associates have a relevant interest in 5.02% of the units in the Fund. If all Eligible Unitholders take up their Entitlements in full, the relevant interest of AIMS and Laxey (and their respective associates) will not change. If AIMS and Laxey both subscribe for their full Entitlement and no other unitholders participate in the Entitlement Offer, the Shortfall Facility or sub-underwriting, then the relevant interest of AIMS will increase from 12.09% to 39.3% and Laxey will increase from 5.02% to 16.3%.

The potential control effect that the Entitlement Offer may have on the Fund is disclosed in the Investor Presentation, ASX Announcement and Entitlement Offer Cleansing Statement released on ASX and SGX on 20 April 2012. Discussions with potential sub-underwriters are ongoing. If further sub-underwriting commitments are obtained, this may change the potential effect that the Entitlement Offer may have on control of the Fund. The Responsible Entity will update the market once sub-underwriting commitments are finalised.

Eligible Unitholders

Eligible Unitholders are:

• (a) Unitholders at the Record Date in respect of units acquired prior to the ex-date whose registered address is in Australia, New Zealand or Singapore;

• (b) not a U.S. Person or acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person; and

• (c) eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Entitlement Offer without any requirement for a prospectus or offer document to be lodged or registered.

Unitholders who do not satisfy these criteria are ineligible unitholders ( Ineligible Unitholders ).

Ineligible Unitholders

4 As defined by section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), and excluding CDP.

3

Unitholders with a registered address outside Australia, New Zealand or Singapore but who otherwise satisfy the criteria are Ineligible Unitholders. Ineligible Unitholders are unable to participate in the Entitlement Offer, however the Responsible Entity has appointed BBY Limited as a nominee broker who will sell the New Units to which Ineligible Unitholders would have otherwise been entitled. If BBY Limited can sell the New Units for a price in excess of the Offer Price, BBY Limited will remit the excess to the Ineligible Unitholders (net of any costs or expenses).

Singapore CDP Account Holders

Singapore CDP Account Holders are not being made an offer under the Entitlement Offer as they are not Eligible Unitholders given they are not the registered holder of units. However, Singapore CDP Account Holders as at the Record Date may instruct CDP to apply for New Units or Additional Units on their behalf based on the number of units which are standing to the credit of their CDP securities account as at the Record Date.

Singapore CDP Account Holders may also instruct CDP to apply for Additional Units under the Shortfall Facility on their behalf. Any Additional Units will be limited to the extent of any shortfall under the Entitlement Offer and will be subject to the scale back process described above. Singapore CDP Account Holders should satisfy themselves that they are able to acquire Additional Units in accordance with applicable laws before instructing CDP to apply for Additional Units.

Please note that only those Singapore CDP Account Holders who have addresses registered with CDP in Singapore on the Record Date, or who have at least three (3) market days prior to the Record Date, provided CDP with addresses in Singapore for the service of notices and documents shall be entitled to instruct CDP to apply for New Units and Additional Units. Singapore CDP Account Holders who do not have addresses in Singapore for the service of notices and documents and who wish to be entitled to apply for the Entitlement Offer through CDP should provide CDP with an address in Singapore at least three (3) market days prior to the Record Date.

Further details as to how Singapore CDP Account Holders can participate in the Entitlement Offer by providing instructions to CDP will be provided in the Offer Booklet and personalised Singapore Application Form that will be sent to Singapore CDP Account Holders on or around 8 May 2012.

Eligible Unitholders and Singapore CDP Account Holders will be mailed an Offer Booklet, together with a personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form or Singapore Application Form (as applicable) which will contain details of your Entitlement or right to instruct CDP on or

If you are an Eligible Unitholder, you may do any one of the following:

• (a) take up all or part of your Entitlement to New Units;

• (b) under the Shortfall Facility apply for Additional Units in excess of your Entitlement; or

The Responsible Entity will treat you as applying for as many New Units and Additional Units as your payment will pay for in full, subject to the scale-back of your allocation of Additional Units (in whole or part). If you are paying by BPAY®, please make sure to use the specific Biller Code and unique Reference Number on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form. If you receive more than one personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form, please only use the Reference Number specific to the Entitlement on that Form. If you inadvertently use the same Reference Number for more than one of your Entitlements, you will be deemed to have applied only for Additional Units on the Entitlement to which that Reference Number applies.

If you take no action you will not be allocated your New Units and your Entitlement will lapse. Your Entitlement to participate in the Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable and cannot be traded on ASX or any other exchange, nor can they be privately transferred. Eligible Unitholders who do not take up their Entitlements in full will not receive any payment or value for those Entitlements they do not take up.

If you take up and pay for all or part of your Entitlement before the closing date of the Entitlement Offer of 7:00pm (Sydney time) or 5:00pm (Singapore time), 22 May 2012, you will be allotted your New Units on 30 May 2012.

Action Required by Singapore CDP Account Holders

If you are a Singapore CDP Account Holder as at the Record Date, you may do any one of the following:

(f) do nothing, in which case all of your provisional Entitlement will lapse.

If you decide to take up all or part of your provisional Entitlement, or apply for Additional Units under the Shortfall Facility, please complete and return to CDP the personalised Singapore Application Form which will be provided to you with the requisite application monies by following the instructions set out in the personalised Singapore Application Form.

If you instruct CDP to take up and make payment for all or part of your provisional Entitlement before the closing date of the Entitlement Offer of 7:00pm (Sydney time) or 5:00pm (Singapore time), 22 May 2012, the New Units will be allotted on 30 May 2012.

closing date for the Entitlement Offer, to close the Entitlement Offer early, to withdraw the Entitlement Offer at any time prior to the allotment of New Units under the Entitlement Offer and/or to accept late applications either generally or in specific cases. If the closing date is extended, the subsequent dates may also be extended. For the reasons set out in the Responsible Entity's ASX Announcement of the Entitlement Offer on 20 April 2012, there can be no guarantee that the Entitlement Offer will proceed in accordance with this timetable or at all.

Pelorus Proposal

On 4 April 2012, BlackWall Property Funds Limited, a subsidiary of Pelorus Private Equity Limited, has convened a meeting of unitholders where it will seek unitholder approval to replace MacarthurCook Fund Management Limited as the responsible entity of the Fund with TFML Limited ( Pelorus Proposal ). The Pelorus Proposal does not affect the Entitlement Offer. The Entitlement Offer will proceed to enable the repayments due under the OCBC debt facility to be made. This is consistent with the Responsible Entity's strategy of stabilising the Fund’s balance sheet.

Takeovers Panel application

On 18 April 2012, Laxey made an application to the Takeovers Panel ( Panel ) seeking a declaration of unacceptable circumstances in relation to the Entitlement Offer. The Entitlement Offer will proceed, however, the Entitlement Offer will be subject to any orders that the Panel makes.

Laxey is claiming, amongst other things, that the Entitlement Offer, including the underwriting and sub-underwriting arrangements amount to unacceptable circumstances under section 657A(2)(a) of the Corporations Act and has sought interim and final orders.

The Responsible Entity denies that the Entitlement Offer gives rise to unacceptable circumstances. In accordance with the Panel's rules, the Responsible Entity cannot canvass matters before the Panel in the media. Accordingly, the Responsible Entity cannot say more about the Panel proceedings at this point in time.

There is a risk that the Panel may make orders stopping the Entitlement Offer from proceeding or changing the structure of the Entitlement Offer, including the underwriting and sub-underwriting arrangements.

ASIC relief

Relief from ASIC is required to facilitate the Entitlement Offer which has not yet been obtained. The Responsible Entity is in advanced discussions with ASIC and, subject to the outcome of the Panel proceedings, is confident that relief will be forthcoming. Nevertheless, as the Entitlement Offer cannot open unless and until the ASIC relief is obtained, there can therefore be no guarantee that Entitlement Offer will proceed in its current form or at all.
