Important holding information

Ineligible unitholders

• Some unitholders resident outside Australia and New Zealand are not eligible to participate in the non-renounceable entitlement offer due to securities law restrictions on the offer of BWP units in certain jurisdictions (Ineligible Unitholders)

• BWP will appoint a nominee for Ineligible Unitholders. BWP will issue the nominee with Entitlements to subscribe for the BWP units that would have been available for subscription by Ineligible Unitholders had they been eligible to participate in the Offer

– Entitlements will be offered for sale by the nominee

– The nominee will distribute any proceeds of sale (net of expenses) proportionately to the Ineligible Unitholders

• The final number of Ineligible Unitholders and the number of Entitlements to be offered for sale by the nominee will be determined on the basis of BWP's register on the Record Date of the Offer (7.00 pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 22 February 2011)

Stock lending and other transactions

• Eligible Unitholders will be entitled to apply under the entitlement offer for a certain number of new units held as at 7.00 pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 22 February 2011(Record Date). Notwithstanding the Record Date for the entitlement offer, BWP will be granted a waiver by ASX so that, in determining entitlements for the entitlement offer, BWP may ignore changes in unitholdings that occur after the announcement of the trading halt in units for the entitlement offer (other than registrations of transactions that were effected through ITS before that announcement)

• Accordingly, a person who is a registered unitholder of BWP at 7.00pm (AEDT) on the Record Date for the entitlement offer as a result of a dealing after the announcement of the trading halt in units for the entitlement offer (other than the registration of a transaction effected through ITS before that announcement) may not be entitled to receive an entitlement under the entitlement offer

• In the event that a unitholder has existing units out on loan at the Record Date, the borrower will be regarded as the unitholder for the purposes of determining the entitlement (provided that those borrowed units have not been on-sold)

Key investment risks

This section discusses some of the key risks associated with an investment in BWP. Additional risks that BWP is not aware of, or that it currently considers to be immaterial, could also have a potential negative impact on BWP in the future. If any of the risks or a combination of them occur, the value of your investment in BWP or your income from that investment may decline or be lower than expected. Before investing in BWP, you should consider whether this investment is suitable for you. Potential investors should consider publicly available information on BWP (such as that available on the websites of BWP and the ASX), carefully consider their personal circumstances and consult their stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser before making an investment decision.

Funding

– The real estate investment industry tends to be highly capital intensive. The ability of BWP to raise funds on favourable terms for future refinancing and acquisitions depends on a number of factors including general economic, political, and capital and credit market conditions. The inability of BWP to raise funds on favourable terms for future acquisitions and refinancing could adversely affect its ability to acquire new properties or refinance its debt.

Market price

– The market price of BWP units will fluctuate due to various factors including general movements in interest rates, the Australian and international general investment markets, and economic conditions, global geo-political events and hostilities, investor perceptions and other factors that may affect the Trust’s financial performance and position. The market price of BWP units could trade on the ASX at a price below their issue price.

Interest rates

– Adverse fluctuations in interest rates, to the extent that they are not hedged or forecast, may impact BWP’s earnings before interest and asset values due to any impact on property markets in which the Trust operates.

Leverage

– The use of leverage may enhance returns and increase the number of assets that can be acquired, but it may also substantially increase the risk of loss. Use of leverage may adversely affect the Trust if economic impacts such as rising interest rates, severe economic downturns or deterioration in the condition of the market occur. In the event an investment is unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet the principal and interest payments on its indebtedness, the value of the Trust’s equity component could be significantly reduced or even eliminated.

Debt covenants

– BWP has various covenants in relation to its banking facilities, including interest cover, leverage ratio and weighted average lease expiry requirements. Factors such as falls in asset values or the inability of BWP to extend current leases or acquire long term leased properties could lead to a breach in debt covenants. In such an event, BWP’s lenders may require their loans to be repaid immediately, and may affect BWP’s ability to renew or extend existing borrowing facilities.

Taxation implications

– You should be aware that future changes in Australian taxation law including changes in interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities in Australia, may affect taxation treatment of an investment in BWP units, or the holding and disposal of those units.

Realisation of assets

– Property assets are by their nature illiquid investments. This may make it difficult to alter the balance of income sources for BWP in the short term in response to changes in economic or other conditions.

Employees

– All employees of the Trust are employed by Wesfarmers Limited, the owner of BWP’s responsible entity Bunnings Property Management Limited. The Trust is reliant on retaining and attracting quality senior executives and other employees. The loss of the services of any of BWP’s senior management or key personnel, or the inability to attract new qualified personnel, could adversely affect the Trust’s operations.

32

BUNNINGS WAREHOUSE PROPERTY TRUST

www.bwptrust.com.au

Key investment risks

Customers

– Insolvency or financial distress of BWP’s tenants may reduce the income received from its assets.

Counterparty/credit risk

– Third parties, such as tenants, developers and other counterparties to contracts may not be willing or able to perform their obligations to the Trust. – Over 90 per cent of BWP’s rental income is generated from its leases to a wholly owned subsidiary of Wesfarmers Limited, Bunnings Group Limited. The stability of the income and value of the assets are dependent on Bunnings Group Limited delivering on its contractual obligations.

Insurance

– The Trust purchases insurance, customarily carried by property owners, managers, developers and construction entities, that provides a degree of protection for its assets, liabilities and people. There are however certain risks that are uninsurable (e.g. nuclear, chemical or biological incidents) or risks where the insurance coverage is reduced (e.g. cyclone or earthquakes). Further, insurance markets may be detrimentally affected by the current global downturn such that insurance becomes more expensive or the financial ability of insurance companies to respond to claims is diminished.

Property market risks

– BWP will be subject to the prevailing property market conditions in sectors in which it operates. Adverse changes in market sentiment or market conditions may impact BWP’s ability to acquire, manage or develop assets, as well as the value of BWP’s properties. These impacts could lead to a reduction in earnings or the carrying value of assets.

Change in value and income of properties

– Returns from investment in properties largely depend on the rental income generated from the property and the expenses incurred in its operation, including the management and maintenance of the property as well as the changes in the market value of the property. Rental income and/or the market value of properties may be adversely affected by a number of factors, including:

a) the overall conditions in the national and local economy;

b) local real estate conditions;

c) the perception of prospective customers regarding attractiveness and convenience of properties and the intensity of competition with other participants in the real estate industry;

d) the convenience and quality of properties;

e) unforeseen capital expenditure;

f) supply of developable land, new properties and other investment properties; and

g) investor demand/liquidity in investments.

Acquisitions

– BWP’s future strategy may involve the acquisition of properties to add to its property portfolio. Whilst it is BWP’s policy to conduct a thorough due diligence process in relation to any such acquisition, risks remain that are inherent in such acquisitions.

Regulatory issues and changes in law

– BWP is subject to the usual business risk that there may be changes in laws that reduce income or increase costs.

Change in capitalisation rates

– The capitalisation rates considered appropriate by independent valuers may change in response to market conditions.

33

BUNNINGS WAREHOUSE PROPERTY TRUST

www.bwptrust.com.au

Key investment risks

Litigation and disputes

– Legal and other disputes (including industrial disputes) may arise from time to time in the ordinary course of operations. Any such dispute may impact on earnings or affect the value of BWP’s assets.

Competition

– Competition may lead to an oversupply through overdevelopment or to prices for existing properties or services being inflated via competing bids by prospective purchasers.

Fixed nature of significant costs

– Significant expenditures associated with each investment, such as funding costs, maintenance costs, employee costs and taxes are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from investment. The value of an asset owned by the Trust may be adversely affected if the income from the asset declines and other related expenses remain unchanged.

Occupational Health & Safety (OH&S)

– If BWP fails to comply with necessary OH&S legislative requirements across the jurisdictions in which the Trust operates, it could result in fines, penalties and compensation for damages as well as reputational damage to the Trust.

Forward looking statements
