Appendix B: Key risks
==> picture [91 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
All investments carry risk, including loss of some or all of the capital invested and failure of investments to generate a positive return. You should carefully consider whether an inves tment in CNI securities is a suitable investment for you. Some of the risks investing in CNI include the following:
Risks specific to the Placement
Risks specific to the Transaction
-
The Transaction is subject to a number of conditions. In particular, the takeover offer is subject to CNI receiving acceptances under the offer for the acquisition of at least 90% of the voting rights of Augusta shares and the Overseas Investment Office of New Zealand providing all necessary consents or exemptions to permit the Transac tion under the Overseas Investment Act 2005 (NZ) and Overseas Investment Regulations 2005 (NZ), among other additional conditions set out in the Bid Implementation Agreement released to the market o n 29 January 2020.
-
If one or more of the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Transaction will not proceed. If the Transaction does not p roceed, the funds raised from the Placement will be used for new growth initiatives.
-
There is no guarantee that the Transaction will complete. To the extent that the Transaction is not successfully integrated w ith CNI's existing business, the financial performance of CNI could be materially adversely affected. Further, while CNI's policy is to conduct a thorough due diligence process in relation to any acquisition s, risks remain that are inherent in all acquisitions.
Underwriting risk
-
CNI has entered into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriters for the equity raising ( Underwriting Agreement ). The Underwriters' obligation to underwrite the equity raising is subject to customary terms and conditions, including termination rights for the Underwriters in specific circumstances.
-
If the Underwriters are entitled to, and do, terminate the Underwriting Agreement, CNI may not otherwise be able to raise suf ficient equity capital to meet its obligations and commitments in respect of the Transaction and for all of the intended purposes as set out in this presentation, which may materially and adversely affect C NI’s financial position and the market price for CNI securities.
General Risks
Economic Environment
- General economic factors such as interest rates, exchange rates, inflation, business and consumer confidence and general mark et factors may have an adverse impact on Centuria’s earnings or value of its assets. Aspects of the business that could be affected include reduced management and performance fees, reduced funds under m anagement, Centuria’s swap arrangements, reduced distribution income or other adverse consequences.
ASX Market Volatility
- The market price of Centuria’s securities will fluctuate due to various factors, many of which are non -specific to Centuria, including recommendations by brokers and analysts, Australian and international general economic conditions, inflation rates, interest rates, exchange rates, changes in government, fiscal and monetary and regulato ry policies (including APRA prudential requirements), changes to laws (particularly taxation laws), global investment markets, global geo-political events and hostilities, investor perceptions and other factors t hat may affect Centuria’s financial performance and position. In the future, these factors may cause Centuria’s securities to trade at or below their issue price. Factors such as those mentioned above may als o affect the income, expenses, and liquidity of Centuria. Additionally, the stock market can experience price and volume fluctuations that may be unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of Centur ia.
Liquidity and realisation risk
-
There can be no guarantee that there will be an active market in CNI securities or that their value will increase. There may be relatively few or many buyers or sellers of the CNI securities on the ASX at any one time which may lead to increased price volatility and affect the price at which securityholders are able to sell their CNI se curities.
-
Taxation
-
Future changes in Australian taxation law (including goods and services tax and stamp duty), including changes in interpretat ion or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities in Australia, may affect the taxation treatment of your investment in Centuria securities or the holding and disposal of those securities. Furt her, changes in tax law (including goods or services tax and stamp duty) or changes in the way tax law is expected to be interpreted in the jurisdictions in which Centuria operates, may impact the future tax liabilit ies of Centuria.
Litigation
- Centuria may, in the ordinary course of business be involved in possible litigation disputes. Any such dispute may be costly and adversely affect the operational and financial results of Centuria.

Industry Specific Risks
Property Sector Risks
-
Centuria is subject to the prevailing property market conditions in the sectors in which each of the funds under the control of Centuria operate and the jurisdiction in which each of its funds’ assets are located. The demand for property as an asset class changes over time and can be influenced by general economic factors such as interes t rates and economic cycles. A deterioration in investment market conditions in the property sector due to a sustained downturn in the domestic and/or global economic climate could adversely impact on Centuria ’s earnings through directly reducing the value of Centuria’s existing funds under management, reducing the value of property assets, and through reducing the attractiveness of the property sector to investor s.
-
The property market may be at or near the top of the investment value cycle and the value of properties may fluctuate relativ ely quickly (for property assets).
Property Liquidity
- The property assets to which Centuria and the funds managed by Centuria are exposed are, by their nature, illiquid investment s. There is a risk that Centuria may not be able to realise property assets within a short period of time or may not be able to realise property assets at valuation including selling costs, which could material ly adversely affect the financial performance of Centuria .
Liquidity and realisation risk
- The ongoing value of properties held by funds managed by Centuria may fluctuate due to a number of factors including rental l evels, occupancy assumptions, vacancy periods, rental incomes, capitalisation rates and market sentiment, all of which may change for a variety of reasons including the risks outlined in this presentation. Val uations represent only the analysis and opinion of qualified experts at a certain point in time. There is no guarantee that a property will achieve a capital gain on its sale or that the value of the property will no t fall as a result of the assumptions on which the relevant valuations are based proving to be incorrect.
Regulatory risk and changes in legislation
-
Centuria operates in a highly regulated environment and it, and the Centuria funds management business is subject to a range of industry specific and general legal and other regulatory controls (including Australian Financial Services Licensing and Anti Money Laundering / Counter Terrorism Funding requirements). Regulatory breac hes may affect Centuria’s operational and financial performance, through penalties, liabilities, restrictions on activities and compliance and other costs. ASIC routinely undertakes surveillance of Australian financial services licensees, and from time-to-time undertakes regulatory and enforcement action in relation to such licensees. If ASIC was to take such action against Centuria or Centuria’s funds manage ment business, then this action might result in Centuria or Centuria’s funds management business being restricted or prohibited from providing financial services, including operating its funds managemen t business, or might lead to the imposition of additional compliance costs or reputational damage.
-
Changes in government legislation and policy in jurisdictions in which Centuria and the Centuria funds management business op erate may affect the value of funds managed by Centuria and the financial performance of Centuria. This may include changes in stamp duty or tenancy legislation, policies in relation to land developm ent and zoning and delays in the granting of approvals or registration of subdivision plans.
Risks Specific to Centuria
Funds management
-
Centuria manages a number of funds on behalf of third party investors. The majority of Centuria’s income is derived from fees calculated with reference to the value of funds under the control of the Centuria funds management business. Centuria’s financial performance may be adversely affected if it was not able to appropriately respond t o the following risks:
-
significant or prolonged underperformance of the Centuria funds that may affect the ability of Centuria to retain existing funds and to attract new funds under management;
-
unitholder or competitor actions initiated to remove funds from the control of the Centuria funds management business;
-
a number of funds under the control of the Centuria’s funds management business are fixed term funds or funds where strategic review dates fall due in the short to medium term. Un itholder approval and/or endorsement is required for extensions to the term of these funds. There is a risk that investors may not approve or endorse such extensions or that key investors may terminate management arrangements or otherwise remove their funds from the control of Centuria’s funds management business at any time;
-
the direct property funds that Centuria funds management manages have exposure to a variety of entities that lease or otherwi se occupy the properties owned by these funds. Insolvency or financial distress leading to a default by a major lessee or lessees across a number of leases, or failure to secure new leases on acceptable te rms, could give rise to earnings volatility and breach of financial covenants within these funds; and
-
to the extent that property values or income levels in a particular fund fall, there is a risk that the management fee income derived from that fund may be adversely impacted.

APPENDICES
Appendix B: Key risks
==> picture [91 x 43] intentionally omitted <==
Reliance on third party equity
- As a fund manager, growth in Centuria’s earnings may be impacted by the ability of Centuria to establish new listed or unlist ed funds. Specifically such income growth is dependent on the ability of Centuria to continue to source and maintain equity from new and existing investors for current and future funds.
Co-Investments
- Centuria’s long term strategy is to continue holding co-investments in a number of the funds it manages. Such investments are su bject to the general investment risks outlined above. Factors influencing the financial performance of these managed funds may adversely impact the value of Centuria’s assets or quantum of its earnings w hich may in turn impact the price of its securities.
Funding
- Centuria and funds managed by the Centuria funds management business rely on access to various sources of capital, along with the refinancing and/or variation of existing debt facilities. An inability to obtain the necessary funding or refinancing on acceptable terms and at commercial rates or a material increase in the costs of such funding may have an adverse impact on Centuria’s performance or financial position. Further, these debt facilities are subject to various covenants including interest coverage ratios and loan to valuation rati os. The use of debt funding may enhance returns and increase the number of assets that Centuria can acquire, but it may also substantially increase the risk of loss. Use of debt funding may adversely affect Centu ria when economic factors such as rising interest rates and/or margins, severe economic downturns, availability of credit, reduction in asset values or further deterioration in the condition of debt and equity mar kets occur. If an investment is unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet the principal and interest payments on its indebtedness, the value of Centuria’s equity component could be significantly reduced.
Acquisition risks
-
Centuria also has a significant potential acquisition pipeline that it is pursuing in order to drive future growth of the bus iness. There is no guarantee that Centuria will be able to execute all current or future acquisitions. To the extent that any current or future acquisitions are not successfully integrated with Centuria’s existing business, the financial performance of Centuria could be materially adversely affected.
-
There is a risk that Centuria will be unable to identify future acquisition opportunities that meet its investment objectives , or if such acquisition opportunities are identified, that they can be acquired on appropriate terms, thereby potentially limiting the growth of Centuria and its funds management business. Any failure to identify appropr iate assets or successfully acquire such assets could materially adversely affect the growth prospects and financial performance of Centuria. W hile it is Centuria’s policy to conduct a thorough due diligence pro cess in relation to any such acquisition, risks remain that are inherent in such acquisitions.
Dilution risk
- Centuria’s securityholders who do not participate in the Placement, will have their investment in Centuria diluted. Centuria’ s securityholders may have their investment in Centuria diluted by future capital raisings. Centuria may issue new securities to finance future acquisitions or pay down debt which may, under certain circumstances, dil ute the value of a securityholder’s interest. Centuria will only raise equity if it believes that the benefit to securityholders of acquiring the relevant assets or reducing gearing is greater than the short term detri ment caused by the potential dilution associated with a capital raising.
Information system disruption
- Centuria relies on its infrastructure and information technology in order to operate its business. A severe disruption to or failure of Centuria's information technology systems may adversely impact the operations of Centuria and its current and future business and financial performance.
Personnel risk
- The ability of Centuria to successfully deliver on its strategy is dependent on retaining key employees (such as John McBain (Group Joint CEO), Jason Huljich (Group Joint CEO) and Simon Holt (CFO)). The loss of senior management, or other key personnel, could adversely impact on Centuria’s current and future business and financial performance.

This document does not constitute an offer of Stapled Securities of CNI in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this document may not be distributed to any person, and the Stapled Securities may not be offered or sold, in any country outside Australia except to the extent permitted below.
Canada (British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec provinces)
This document constitutes an offering of Stapled Securities only in the Provinces of British Columbia, Ontario and Quebec (the "Provinces") and to those persons to whom they may be lawfully distributed in the Provinces, and only by persons permitted to sell such Stapled Securities. This document is not, and under no circumstances is to be construed as, an advertisement or a public offering of securities in the Provinces. This document may only be distributed in the Provinces to persons that are "accredited investors" within the meaning of NI 45-106 – Prospectus Exemptions , of the Canadian Securities Administrators.
No securities commission or similar authority in the Provinces has reviewed or in any way passed upon this document, the merits of the Stapled Securities or the offering of Stapled Securities and any representation to the contrary is an offence.
No prospectus has been, or will be, filed in the Provinces with respect to the offering of Stapled Securities or the resale of such securities. Any person in the Provinces lawfully participating in the offer will not receive the information, legal rights or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the Stapled Securities in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws which may require resales to be made in accordance with exemptions from dealer registration and prospectus requirements. These resale restrictions may in some circumstances apply to resales of the Stapled Securities outside Canada and, as a result, Canadian purchasers should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the Stapled Securities.
CNI as well as its directors and officers may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon CNI or its directors or officers. All or a substantial portion of the assets of CNI and such persons may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against CNI or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against CNI or such persons outside Canada.
Any financial information contained in this document has been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. Unless stated otherwise, all dollar amounts contained in this document are in Australian dollars.
Statutory rights of action for damages and rescission
Securities legislation in certain of the Provinces may provide purchasers with, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, rights of rescission or to damages, or both, when an offering memorandum that is delivered to purchasers contains a misrepresentation. These rights and remedies must be exercised within prescribed time limits and are subject to the defenses contained in applicable securities legislation. Prospective purchasers should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their respective Province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.
The following is a summary of the statutory rights of rescission or to damages, or both, available to purchasers in Ontario. In Ontario, every purchaser of the Stapled Securities purchased pursuant to this document (other than (a) a "Canadian financial institution" or a "Schedule III bank" (each as defined in NI 45-106), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in (a) or (b) above, if the person owns all the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) shall have a statutory right of action for damages and/or rescission against CNI if this document or any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against CNI. This right of action for rescission or damages is in addition to and without derogation from any other right the purchaser may have at law. In particular, Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that, if this document contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the Stapled Securities during the period of distribution shall be deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and has a right of action for damages or, alternatively, may elect to exercise a right of rescission against CNI, provided that (a) CNI will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the Stapled Securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation; (b) in an action for damages, CNI is not liable for all or any portion of the damages that CNI proves does not represent the depreciation in value of the Stapled Securities as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon; and (c) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the Stapled Securities were offered.
Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than (a) in the case of any action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action or (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the fact giving rise to the cause of action or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action. These rights are in addition to and not in derogation from any other right the purchaser may have.
Certain Canadian income tax considerations. Prospective purchasers of the Stapled Securities should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Stapled Securities as any discussion of taxation related matters in this document is not a comprehensive description and there are a number of substantive Canadian tax compliance requirements for investors in the Provinces.
Language of documents in Canada. Upon receipt of this document, each investor in Canada hereby confirms that it has expressly requested that all documents evidencing or relating in any way to the sale of the Stapled Securities (including for greater certainty any purchase confirmation or any notice) be drawn up in the English language only. Par la réception de ce document, chaque investisseur canadien confirme par les présentes qu’il a expressément exigé que tous les documents faisant foi ou se rapportant de quelque manière que ce soit à la vente des valeurs mobilières décrites aux présentes (incluant, pour plus de certitude, toute confirmation d’achat ou tout avis) soient rédigés en anglais seulement.
