MARKET RELEASE

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 6 October 2015

Acquisition of inner Adelaide caravan park

Aspen Group (ASX:APZ) advises that it has exchanged contracts for the acquisition of Adelaide Caravan Park, located in inner Adelaide, South Australia. The total purchase price of $9.25 million reflects an initial yield of 9.4%, excluding acquisition costs. A portion of the property is subject to a $0.9 million deferred settlement, for up to two years.

The property is a 100% tourist park consisting of 76 total sites, 45 of which are tourist cabins, with the balance being caravan/tent sites, situated on approximately 1.5 hectares. The property backs onto the River Torrens and is located approximately 3km from the centre of Adelaide CBD and within walking distance to the Adelaide Oval and Adelaide Zoo. It has a medium density residential zoning in place, which provides optionality on long-term alternate land use.

Aspen Group’s CEO Clem Salwin said: “The acquisition is in line with Aspen Group’s portfolio focus on very well located short-stay properties in metropolitan areas. It adds to our two existing parks in South Australia.

“The property is already producing a strong cashflow. However, this long-term family-held property is expected to benefit from a renovation programme of cabins to commence after settlement, as well as from becoming part of Aspen’s scale operating platform, particularly our on-line sales and marketing presence.”

The acquisition will be funded from existing cash holdings of Aspen Group and be immediately accretive to earnings. Settlement is scheduled for mid-October 2015.
