Continuous Disclosure

Aspen Parks Property Fund

Date: 27 November 2015 Title: Operating performance update

Aspen Parks Property Fund (APPF) provides the following update on operating performance for the four month period ended October 2015, due to the current takeover offer[(1)] for APPF.

On a like-for-like basis, unaudited net property income was down 16% for the four month period to October 2015 compared with the same period to October 2014. This largely reflects the continuing trend of weakness in those properties operating in the resources sector, as well as the subdued conditions in Western Australia more generally.

Operating performance remains materially in line with expectations, with unaudited net property income being 2% below budget for the four month period.

Transaction costs, in the event that the offer[(1)] is completed, are estimated to have an impact of approximately 1.0 cent on the NAV per APPF security.

There has been no change in the annualised distribution rate of 4.0 cents per APPF security.

If you have any queries, please contact your financial adviser or Aspen Investor Services on 1800 220 840.
