Dear Primewest Securityholder,

We refer to the off market takeover bid by Centuria Capital Limited (ACN 095 454 336) and Centuria Funds Management Limited (ACN 607 153 588) as responsible entity for Centuria Capital Fund (ARSN 613 856 358) (together, Centuria ) for all of the stapled securities in Primewest Group Limited (ACN 636 344 137) and the Primewest Property Fund (ARSN 636 405 635) whose responsible entity is Primewest Management Ltd (ACN 091 415 833) (together, Primewest ) ( Centuria Offer ). The terms of the Centuria Offer are contained in Centuria’s bidder’s statement which is dated 14 May 2021 ( Bidder’s Statement ). Capitalised terms used in this letter have the same meaning as in the Bidder’s Statement unless otherwise defined.
The Centuria Offer is scheduled to close at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 24 June 2021.
Compulsory acquisition of your Primewest Securities and close of offer period
As at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 16 June 2021, Centuria had a relevant interest of 90.0072% in Primewest. Accordingly, Centuria now intends to exercise its right, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ), to compulsorily acquire the remaining Primewest Securities in which Centuria does not have a relevant interest. The compulsory acquisition will be on the same terms as the Centuria Offer, consisting of the Offer Consideration of $0.20 cash and 0.473 Centuria Securities for each Primewest Security.
As required by the Corporations Act[1] , we enclose a copy of ASIC Form 6021 ( Notice of compulsory acquisition following takeover bid ) ( Notice ) which is required to be given to you in order for Centuria to exercise its right to compulsorily acquire the remaining securities in Primewest. This Notice has been lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission on 17 June 2021. Please read this Notice carefully. You do not need to sign or return the Notice.
The compulsory acquisition process is likely to take approximately 4 to 6 weeks, but may take longer in some circumstances. On completion of the compulsory acquisition process, Centuria will pay and issue the consideration for the Primewest securities that it compulsorily acquires. You will then be entitled to claim the consideration from Primewest. In due course, Primewest will send you a letter which sets out the details for the method to claim the Offer Consideration.
Accept the Centuria Offer without delay in order to receive earlier payment of the Offer Consideration
If you have not yet accepted the Centuria Offer, you can still accept the Centuria Offer before 7:00pm (Sydney time) on 24 June 2021, at which time the Centuria Offer will close.
If you validly accept the Centuria Offer before it closes, you will receive the Offer Consideration within 5 business days of your acceptance being processed . Accordingly, if you accept the Centuria Offer, you will receive the Offer Consideration to which you are entitled for your Primewest Securities sooner than you will if you wait for your Primewest Securities to be compulsorily acquired. Centuria encourages all Primewest Securityholders who have not yet accepted the Centuria Offer to accept without delay and take advantage of the accelerated payment terms.
