ASX Announcement Arena REIT No. 1 and Arena REIT No. 2 General Meeting Chairman’s address 5 December 2014

11.00am

Chairman’s address

Good morning ladies and gentlemen and welcome to a meeting of investors of Arena REIT No. 1 and Arena REIT No. 2, together to be referred to as Arena REIT.

This is a simultaneous meeting of Arena REIT No. 1 and Arena REIT No. 2 given that the investors of Arena REIT No. 1 are the same investors as Arena REIT No. 2.

My name is David Ross and I am the Independent Chairman of the Board of Directors of Arena Investment Management Limited and I have been appointed as the chairman of today’s meeting.

The time is now 11 am and a quorum is present. I therefore declare the meeting open.

I am joined today by my fellow directors, as well as members of the senior management team. John Hutchinson from Hall and Wilcox, and Charles Christie and George Sagonas from our auditor PWC also join us today.

As you are aware, Arena Investment Management Limited acts as the responsible entity of Arena REIT No. 1 and Arena REIT No. 2. For ease of reference I will refer to Arena Investment Management Limited simply as ‘Arena’.

I ask that you switch your mobile phones to silent. Investors or proxy holders holding yellow cards are permitted to vote and ask questions at this meeting. Investors holding red cards are permitted to ask questions but not to vote. Holders of white cards are not permitted to vote or ask questions at this meeting.

Agenda

I will now briefly run through the agenda for today’s meeting. Firstly, I will explain why this meeting has been called. Secondly, Arena’s Joint Managing Director Bryce Mitchelson will give a presentation on the Internalisation Proposal.

==> picture [73 x 92] intentionally omitted <==

We will then take questions on the presentation and the proposed resolutions before we move to the formal business of the meeting, being consideration and voting on the two sets of three resolutions for each of Arena REIT No. 1 and Arena REIT No. 2 to which I have already referred. Finally we then expect to be in a position to announce the formal results of the vote.

Why has this meeting been convened?

Today’s meeting has been convened to consider the internalisation proposal and resolutions to implement the Internalisation Proposal as described in the meeting booklet dated 4 November 2014 which has been dispatched to all Arena REIT unitholders.

The Internalisation Proposal involves appointing a new responsible entity being Arena REIT Management Limited. Arena REIT Management Limited will be, if the Internalisation Proposal is approved, a subsidiary of Arena REIT Limited, which in turn will be owned by investors. This arrangement, where a fund’s investors own the responsible entity that manages the fund, is commonly referred to as ‘internalisation’.

At this meeting, you are to consider three ordinary resolutions in relation to each of Arena REIT No. 1 and Arena REIT No. 2 which are required to implement the Internalisation Proposal. Resolution 1 and 2 are conditional upon each other. Resolution 3 is conditional on both Resolutions 1 and 2 being approved.

Resolution 1 is to approve the Internalisation Proposal and authorise Arena to do all things necessary to give effect to the Internalisation Proposal.

Resolution 2 is to approve the appointment of Arena REIT Management Limited as responsible entity of Arena REIT No. 1 and Arena REIT No. 2 upon the retirement of Arena as the current responsible entity, pursuant to section 601FL of the Corporations Act. Together these two resolutions will be referred to as the Internalisation Resolutions.

Resolution 3 is to approve the acquisition by the Managing Director, Mr Bryce Mitchelson, under Arena REIT Limited’s Long Term Incentive Plan of each of the performance rights and recognition rights no later than 12 months after this meeting and the New Stapled Securities on the vesting of some or all of those performance rights and recognition rights on the terms set out in the Meeting Booklet.

Ladies and gentlemen, as you have all received a copy of the Meeting Booklet. I propose to take these documents as read.

Conditions Precedent

At the time of issuing the Meeting Booklet, the Internalisation Proposal was subject to several precedent conditions required to be satisfied prior to this meeting. I am pleased to report that all conditions with the exception of the investor approvals being sought at this meeting have now been satisfied and therefore the proposed resolutions can be considered.

I will now hand over to Bryce Mitchelson for his management presentation.

Questions

Before moving to the formal business of the meeting, are there any questions from holders of yellow or red cards? If you do have a question I ask that you raise your hand and state your name.

[Questions]

If there are no more questions I will now move to the formal business of the meeting.

Formal business

The formal business is concerned with six ordinary resolutions in total, being three ordinary resolutions for each fund to approve and implement the Internalisation Proposal and the grant of performance rights and recognition rights pursuant to the Long Term Incentive Plan. Details in relation to the resolutions were included in the Explanatory Memorandum which formed part of the Meeting Booklet.

The independent directors of Arena unanimously recommend that investors vote in favour of all resolutions. KPMG, the independent expert who considered the Internalisation Proposal, has concluded that the Internalisation Proposal is “fair and reasonable and in the best interests” of Arena REIT No. 1 and Arena REIT No. 2 investors.

I will now propose each Resolution before displaying the proxy votes received by Arena and then proceeding to a poll on each resolution.
