ASX Announcement – Australian Unity Office Fund

10 December 2021

Chairman's Address

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and thank you for attending this general meeting of AOF unitholders today which is being held as a virtual meeting.

Let’s reflect the meaning of place and in doing so recognise the various traditional lands on which we meet.

We acknowledge the traditional custodians of the people of the Kulin nations and the traditional owners of the lands where our properties are located and on which each of you are living and working from today. We pay our respects to Elders, past, present and emerging.

My name is Peter Day and I am the Chairman of Australian Unity Investment Real Estate Limited ( AUIREL ), the responsible entity of Australian Unity Office Fund (or AOF ). In attendance with me today are:

  • Directors of AUIREL, Eve Crestani, Don Marples, Greg Willcock and Erle Spratt;

  • Company secretary, Liesl Petterd; and

  • Members of the management team, including AOF's Fund Manager Nikki Panagopoulos.

I have been appointed by AUIREL to chair this meeting. On behalf of us all, I welcome you to AOF’s unitholder meeting. As it is 1.00pm and a quorum is present I declare the meeting open.

This meeting has been convened to ask unitholders to vote on resolutions regarding the proposed merger of AOF with Australian Unity Diversified Property Fund (which I will refer to as DPF ) to create 'Australian Unity Property Fund' ( Merger Proposal ). In order for the Merger Proposal to proceed, both Merger Resolutions (set out in the Notice of Meeting dated 15 November 2021) must be approved by the requisite majorities of AOF unitholders and all other conditions precedent to the Merger Proposal satisfied (or waived, as applicable). I take the Notice of Meeting issued to unitholders in relation to these resolutions as read.

Further to the ASX announcements on Monday 6 and Thursday 9 December 2021, Australian Unity Property Limited as responsible entity of DPF has advised that the Supreme Court of New South Wales has made orders to defer the DPF unitholder meeting (previously scheduled for 10:00am this morning) to 10:00am on Friday 11 February 2022.

In order to align the unitholder meetings I have, with support from my fellow directors and consistent with the timing of the rescheduled DPF unitholder meeting, decided to adjourn this meeting until 1.00pm (Australian Eastern Daylight Time) on Friday, 11 February 2022. Details of the adjourned meeting will be set out in a new notice of meeting.

The purpose of this adjournment is to allow AOF to explore capital management initiatives following the sale of 32 Phillip Street Parramatta as announced to the ASX on 6 December 2021, consider the feedback of unitholders and other stakeholders regarding the Merger Proposal, and to allow for any supplementary disclosure to be issued to unitholders.
