Chairman's Letter

Dear Primewest Securityholder,

OFFER TO ACQUIRE ALL OF YOUR PRIMEWEST SECURITIES

On behalf of the board of Centuria Capital Group ( "Centuria" , or ASX:CNI), we are pleased to offer to acquire all of your Primewest Securities (the "Centuria Offer ") in order to effect the proposed merger transaction between Centuria and Primewest ( "Primewest" or ASX:PWG).

Centuria believes the Centuria Offer represents a compelling proposition for Primewest Securityholders, offering a combination of cash and Centuria Securities to combine two high quality and complementary real estate platforms that share similar investment philosophies and track records. Centuria believes that maintaining the highest levels of investor service is a critical criteria as the Combined Group grows and this will continue to be an area of strong focus and commitment.

On completion of the Centuria Offer, you would gain access to a substantially larger scale and more diverse Australasian real estate platform through holding securities in the merged entity (“Combined Group”). The Combined Group would manage assets of $15.5 billion¹ and be amongst the largest real estate fund managers on the ASX.

The Primewest Board, whose founding directors represent 53% of Primewest Securities, have confirmed they intend to accept into the Centuria Offer, in the absence of a superior proposal. Equally, the Centuria Board is confident in the strategic merits of the merger and believes the Combined Group will be well placed for growth across a number of real estate sectors.

Offer Consideration

  • Under the Centuria Offer, you will receive an implied offer price of $1.51 per Primewest Security ( “Implied Offer Price” ), consisting of:

  • $0.20 of cash per Primewest Security; and

  • 0.473 Centuria Securities² per Primewest Security, equating to $1.31 based on Centuria's closing price on 16 April 2021 ( “Undisturbed Date” )³.

The Implied Offer Price represents an attractive premium to trading prices of Primewest Securities as at the Undisturbed Date, including a:

  • 3.1% premium to Primewest's close price of $1.465 per Primewest Security on the Undisturbed Date;

  • 7.0% premium to Primewest's 5-day VWAP of $1.412 per Primewest Security on the Undisturbed Date;

  • 11.8% premium to Primewest’s 30-day VWAP of $1.35 per Primewest Security on the Undisturbed Date; and

  • 51.0% premium to Primewest's IPO offer price of $1.00 per Primewest Security on 8 November 2019.

1. Substantial increase in scale and relevance, with combined AUM of $15.5 billion,⁴ representing a 209% increase compared to Primewest's current AUM and making the Combined Group amongst the largest real estate fund managers listed on the ASX;

2. Integration of two high performing management teams with the intended retention of Primewest staff and a strong focus on maintaining the high service levels that Primewest investors currently enjoy;

3. Access to new distribution channels, including exposure to two large listed REITs, together with a broader investment mandate;

4. Enhanced geographic diversification across Australia and new exposure to New Zealand, which provides Primewest Securityholders with access to an increased range of acquisition opportunities;

5. A financially compelling proposition with significant estimated earnings per security ( "EPS" ) accretion of 19%, on a pro forma FY21 basis[5] . This is supported by expected material synergies to support growth of AUM, expansion of property services across both businesses, removal of duplicated corporate costs and expected tax related synergies; and

6. An Implied Offer Price that represents an attractive premium to trading levels of Primewest Securities as at the Undisturbed Date.

The Primewest Board unanimously recommends the Centuria Offer, and each Primewest director, including founding directors John Bond, David Schwartz and Jim Litis, who represent 53% of Primewest Securities, have confirmed they intend to accept into the Centuria Offer, in the absence of a superior proposal. Centuria is delighted that John, David and Jim have agreed to maintain their senior executive roles in the Combined Group.

Next steps

I encourage you to carefully read the Bidder's Statement for more details about the Centuria Offer, its terms and importantly the benefits you will receive from accepting the Centuria Offer. The Bidder's Statement also includes important information about a holding of Centuria Securities, including risks associated with Centuria, the Combined Group and the Centuria Offer.

If you have any questions about the Centuria Offer, please call the Centuria Offer Information Line on 1300 721 637 (callers in Australia) or +61 2 8023 5428 (callers outside Australia) between 8:30am and 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Business Days. You may also access Centuria.com.au/PWGOffer for further information.

Centuria believes that the Centuria Offer will deliver significant long term value for both existing Centuria Securityholders and Primewest Securityholders who accept the Centuria Offer. We look forward to your acceptance of the Centuria Offer and welcoming you as a Centuria Securityholder.

No Impact of 30 June 2021 half year distribution

Primewest Securityholders will be entitled to the expected distribution of 2.9 cents per Primewest Security for the period ending 30 June 2021. Primewest has set a record date for this distribution of 25 May 2021 so that the record date is before Centuria acquires Primewest Securities under the Centuria Offer. The Offer Consideration will not be affected by this distribution for the period ending 30 June 2021.

Key Reasons to Accept the Centuria Offer

Completion of the Centuria Offer is expected to provide a number of benefits to Primewest Securityholders, including:

3.3 Am I eligible to accept the Centuria Offer through the Acceptance Facility?

3.4 How will Ineligible Foreign Securityholders and Unmarketable Parcel Securityholders be treated?

Ineligible Foreign Securityholders and Unmarketable Parcel Securityholders that accept the Centuria Offer will not receive Centuria Securities.

However, Ineligible Foreign Securityholders and Unmarketable Parcel Securityholders should read Section 6.3 of the Offer Terms in Appendix 1, which provides further information on this process.

3.5 What will the tax consequences be?

Section 11 provides a brief guide of the Australian tax implications for Primewest Securityholders who accept the Centuria Offer.

4.7.3 Historical segment income statement

.. sorca segmen ncome saemen
Centuria's Directors and Senior Management consider the operating
income statement to be the most appropriate method of assessing
underlying performance to Centuria's securityholders as it excludes
material non-cash movements from fair value gains and losses, the
impact of Benefit Funds and property funds consolidated due to
accounting requirements.
As at the date of this Bidder's Statement, Centuria has four reportable
operating segments. These reportable operating segments are the
divisions which report to the Centuria's Joint Chief Executive Officers
and Board of Directors for the purpose of resource allocation and
assessment of performance. The reportable operating segments are
as follows:17
OPERATING SEGMENTS
DESCRIPTION
Property Funds
Management
Management of listed and unlisted property funds
and rendering of services in social and affordable
housing developments
Investment Bonds

Management of the Beneft Funds of Centuria Life
Limited and management of the Over Fifty Guardian
Friendly Society Limited. The Beneft Funds include
a range of fnancial products, including single and
multi-premium investments
Co-Investments
Direct interest in property funds, properties held
for development and other liquid investments
Corporate
Overheads for supporting Centuria operating
segments and management of a reverse

In addition, Centuria also provides disclosures in relation to a further

Limited which are required to be consolidated in
the Group's fnancial statements in accordance

fnancial position of property funds which are
managed by the group and consolidated under
accounting standards. The group's principal
activities do not include direct ownership
of these funds for the purpose of measuring
control under accounting standards and
deriving rental income. Therefore, the results
attributable to the controlled property funds
are excluded from operating proft. However,
the performance management of the controlled
property funds is included in operating proft,
aligned with how performance of the business
is assessed by management of the Group
Eliminations
Elimination of transactions between the
operating segments and the other non-
operating segments above, including
transactions between the operating entities
within the Group, the property funds controlled
by the Group and the beneft funds

6.7 Principal activities of Primewest

6.7.1 Strategy

Primewest is one of Australia's leading real estate funds management businesses, operating over 84 separate funds across 7 different asset classes. The management of these funds and syndicates involves sourcing, acquiring, managing and disposing of real estate assets on behalf of investors. Real estate funds management is attractive to private high net worth and institutional investors because it allows for investors to acquire an interest in larger assets or diversify their investment exposure, options which may not be available in the case that an investor invests directly.

Primewest primarily generates revenue through fees charged to the funds that it manages including:

  • Asset management fees;

  • Property service fees including leasing fees, development management fees and finance fees;

  • Transactional fees including establishment fees earned on the acquisition of new assets and sales fees on the disposal of assets; and

  • Performance fees.

Primewest's growth strategy has included:

  • Launching new income and development funds;

  • Entering into additional wholesale partnerships

  • Establishing new funds in alternative real estate sectors, for example Primewest Agricultural fund;

  • Co-investing in funds alongside fund investors; and

  • Exploring corporate mergers and acquisitions.

6.7.2 Portfolio Overview

Note: Represents Primewest Security performance vs S&P ASX300 A-REIT Accumulation Index up to 16 April 2021, indexed to 100. Includes distributions and assumes Primewest expected 2.9 cps distribution is paid on 16 April 2021. Source: IRESS as at 16 April 2021.

Other key initiatives and milestones since the IPO include:

  • Launch of 8 new unlisted funds since IPO;

  • Launch of Primewest Agricultural Fund in April 2020, with an initial fund target of $100 million that was later expanded to $350 million in February 2021;

  • Launched new Daily Needs Trust in June 2020, with an initial $300 million institutional mandate that was later expanded to $930 million in December 2020;

  • Acquired a stake in the ASX listed Vitalharvest Freehold Trust (ASX:VTH) and 100% interest in the manager of the trust. Vitalharvest is currently the subject of the Vitalharvest Transaction (which may result in Primewest selling the management rights and co-investment stake in Vitalharvest); and

Sector diversification

Primewest's portfolio is diversified across multiple asset classes:

  • Office ($1.8bn): Office assets located across Perth, Brisbane and Melbourne

  • Daily Needs Retail ($1.1bn): 23 Coles or Woolworths anchored centres across Perth, Adelaide and regional Australia

  • Large Format Retail ($1.0bn): Large footprint and high traffic properties anchored by ASX listed covenants across Australia

  • Industrial ($0.6bn): Industrial sites in well-established locations in Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Adelaide and Melbourne

Those intentions have been formed on the basis of facts and information concerning Primewest, and the general business environment, which are known at the time of preparing this Bidder's Statement. Final decisions will only be reached by Centuria in light of material information and circumstances at the relevant time. Accordingly, the statements set out in this section and elsewhere in this Bidder’s Statement are statements of current intention only and accordingly may vary as new information becomes available or circumstances change.

The articulation and formulation of Centuria's intentions are necessarily limited due to the fact that it has only had access to publicly available information, and, through Centuria's due diligence process, certain limited non-public information, about Primewest and its affairs.

8.2 Intentions for Primewest as a wholly owned controlled entity

8.3.2 Compulsory Acquisition and Delisting

It is possible that, even if Centuria is not entitled to proceed to compulsory acquisition of any outstanding Primewest Securities under Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act, Centuria may subsequently become entitled to exercise rights of general compulsory acquisition under Part 6A.2 of the Corporations Act; for example, as a result of acquisitions of Primewest Securities in reliance on the '3% creep' exception in item 9 of section 611 of the Corporations Act (which, in summary, allows a person to increase their voting power by 3% every six months provided that the person has at least 19% in the 6 months prior to the acquisition). If so, Centuria intends to exercise those rights of compulsory acquisition. In this scenario, following completion of the compulsory acquisition of the outstanding Primewest Securities, Centuria intends to cause Primewest to apply for termination of official quotation of the Primewest Securities on the ASX and to arrange for Primewest to be removed from the official list of the ASX.

8.3.3 General Operational Review

After the end of the Offer Period, Centuria intends to conduct a general operation review along similar lines to that described in Section 8.2.

8.2.1 Context

This section describes Centuria's intentions if Centuria acquires a 90% interest or more of the Primewest Securities, and so becomes entitled to proceed to compulsory acquisition of outstanding Primewest Securities in accordance with Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act. In that circumstance, Centuria's intentions are as follows.

8.2.2 Compulsory Acquisition and Delisting

Centuria intends to:

  • proceed with compulsory acquisition of the outstanding Primewest Securities in accordance with Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act; and

  • following completion of the compulsory acquisition of the outstanding Primewest Securities, cause Primewest to apply for termination of official quotation of the Primewest Securities on the ASX and arrange for Primewest to be removed from the official list of the ASX.

8.2.3 General Operational Review

After the end of the Offer Period, Centuria intends to conduct a broad based review of Primewest’s portfolio and management on both a strategic and financial level to:

  • evaluate Primewest's performance, profitability and prospects;

  • actively manage the assets of Primewest with a view to maximising returns to holders of Centuria Securities; and

  • continue to grow the Combined Group’s business and enhance the returns to holders of Centuria Securities.

Centuria’s current intention is to retain Primewest’s existing employees to enhance its geographic and sector diversification.

Centuria’s current intention is also to retain PML as responsible entity of the PWG Fund.

In the ordinary course of its management, Centuria will continually review the assets of the Combined Group and the way in which they are developed and managed to evaluate performance, profitability and prospects.

8.3 Intentions for Primewest as a part owned controlled entity

8.3.1 Context

This section describes Centuria's intentions if Centuria acquires control of Primewest but Centuria does not become entitled to compulsorily acquire any outstanding Primewest Securities under Part 6A.1 of the Corporations Act. In that circumstance, Centuria's intentions are as follows.

8.4 Intentions upon acquisition of less than 90% of Primewest Securities

Centuria has no current intention of freeing the Centuria Offer from the 90% minimum acceptance condition and may not waive or vary the minimum acceptance condition to reduce the acceptance level (including acceptances through the Acceptance Facility) below 80%, without the consent of Primewest, after good faith consultation with Centuria.

Centuria reserves its right to declare the Centuria Offer free from any other Condition to the Centuria Offer.

8.5 Other intentions

Subject to the matters described above in this section and elsewhere in this Bidder's Statement, it is the intention of Centuria on the basis of the facts and information concerning Primewest that are known to it and the existing circumstances affecting the assets and operations of Primewest at the date of this Bidder's Statement:

  • to continue the operation of Primewest; and

  • not to make any major changes to the operation of Primewest and use Primewest’s platform to continue to expand AUM.

8.6 Limitations in Giving Effect to Intentions

The ability of Centuria to implement the intentions set out in this section will be subject to neither Centuria nor Primewest being or becoming subject to any legal and/or contractual requirements which may restrict or prohibit the intentions as set out in this Bidder's Statement.

Furthermore, the ability of Centuria to implement the intentions set out in this section will be subject to the legal obligations of the responsible entity of Primewest to have regard to the interests of Primewest and all Primewest Securities (not just the interests of Centuria), and the requirements of the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules relating, among other things, to transactions between related parties.

Centuria will only make a decision on the abovementioned courses of action in this section following legal and financial advice in relation to those requirements, including in relation to any requirements for approvals from holders of Primewest Securities.

In addition, it is possible that Centuria or Primewest may be or become subject to other legal and/ or contractual requirements which may restrict or prohibit the intentions as set out in this Bidder's Statement.

Financial Effect of the Centuria Offer & Profile of the Combined Group Section 9

9.1 Introduction

This Section 9 provides a profile of the Combined Group and the effect of the Centuria Offer on Centuria, assuming that Primewest becomes a wholly-owned subsidiary of Centuria. If Centuria does not acquire at least 90% of the Primewest Securities during the Offer Period, and therefore does not become entitled to compulsorily acquire the remaining Primewest Securities on issue, some of the benefits that would otherwise accrue to Centuria if Primewest were to be become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Centuria may not be fully realised.

9.2 Centuria strategy and rationale for making the Centuria Offer

The acquisition of all the Primewest Securities by Centuria will create the Combined Group with a diversified portfolio of assets under management both geographically and across real estate sectors. The Combined Group will have assets under management of approximately $15.5 billion[23] and a market capitalisation of approximately $2.2 billion.[24]

Centuria Securityholders, which will include former Primewest Securityholders who choose to retain the Centuria Securities issued to them, will benefit from the following (amongst other things):

  • the combination of two highly complementary platforms with similar investment philosophies and strong track records, and enhanced distribution channels including a leading private client base and substantial institutional mandates;

  • an increase in scale and relevance with increased assets under management and market capitalisation as well as strong prospects of inclusion in the S&P/ASX 200 Index;[25]

  • enhanced geographic and sector diversification allowing the Combined Group to take advantage of a broader range of opportunities;

  • estimated FY21 pro forma earnings per security accretion of 4% for Centuria Securityholders and 19% for Primewest Securityholders;[26] and

  • expected material synergies to support the growth of AUM, expansion of property services across both businesses and the removal of duplicated corporate costs and expected tax related synergies.

See Section 1 for further information on the benefits of the Centuria Offer.

9.3 Financial Profile of the Combined Group

The pro forma financial information included in this section comprises the following:

  • the pro forma forecast operating income statement of the Combined Group for the year ending 30 June 2021 ( Pro Forma Forecast Financial Information ), see Section 9.3.2; and

  • the pro forma historical balance sheet of the Combined Group as at 31 December 2020 ( Pro Forma Historical Balance Sheet ), see section 9.3.7.

The Pro Forma Financial Information has been presented in an abbreviated form. It does not contain all the presentation, disclosures and comparative information that are usually provided in an annual report (or half yearly report) prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act.

Primewest Securityholders should also be aware that certain Pro Forma Financial Information is ‘non-IFRS financial information’ under ASIC Regulatory Guide 230 Disclosing non-IFRS financial information published by ASIC in December 2011. Investors are cautioned, therefore, not to place undue reliance on any non-IFRS financial information and ratios included in this Bidder’s Statement.

9.3.1.2 Pro Forma Historical Balance Sheet

The Pro Forma Historical Balance Sheet is prepared on the assumption that the Offer was implemented as at 31 December 2020 and that Centuria acquires 100% of Primewest Securities.

The Pro Forma Historical Balance Sheet has been prepared based on Centuria’s accounting policies and in line with Centuria’s segment balance sheet reporting as shown in section 4.7.5 which is prepared in accordance with AASB 8 Operating Segments. The Pro Forma Historical Balance Sheet has been prepared in accordance with the measurement and recognition principles contained in the AAS effective at the time of preparation of this Bidder’s Statement, other than it includes adjustments which have been prepared in a manner consistent with AAS that reflect the impact of certain transactions as if they occurred as at 31 December 2020.

The Pro Forma Historical Balance Sheet is provided for illustrative purposes only and is not presented as being necessarily indicative of the Combined Group’s future financial position.

9.3.1.3 Pro Forma Forecast Financial Information

The Pro Forma Forecast Financial Information is prepared on the assumption that the Offer was implemented on 1 July 2020 and that Centuria acquires 100% of the Primewest Securities.

9.3.3 General assumptions

The key best estimate general assumptions made in preparing the pro forma income statement of the Combined Group for the year ending 30 June 2021 are outlined below:

  • no material change in the management arrangements;

  • no material change in the economic environment; and

  • no material disposal of assets

9.3.4 Key assumptions underlying the Centuria forecast operating income statement

The forecast operating income statement of Centuria is prepared on the basis of actual results for the period from 1 July 2020 to 31 March 2021 and the forecast result for the period from 1 April 2021 to 30 June 2021 (on a standalone basis).

The key best estimate assumptions made by Centuria in preparing the Centuria forecast operating income statement for the year ending 30 June 2021 are outlined below.

Management fees

Forecast management fees mainly comprise of income from the management of listed and unlisted property funds and their underlying properties. Forecast management fees are based on contractually agreed rates and amounts with the respective property fund, reflecting property acquisitions/disposals and changes in property valuations

during the year which could materially increase/decrease forecast management fees. The management fees have been recognised taking into account the actual timing of acquisitions/disposals and changes in valuations.

Significant assumptions reflected in the forecast are the impacts of a $192 million revaluation uplift in the underlying portfolio of Centuria Industrial REIT (CIP) announced in March 2021.

Property acquisition fees

Forecast property acquisition fees relate to income generated from the acquisition of underlying properties in property funds managed by Centuria.

Property performance fees

Centuria receives performance fees for providing management services where the property fund outperforms a set IRR benchmark at the time the property is sold. Consideration is due upon successful sale of the investment property if the performance hurdles are satisfied.

Consideration is given to the expected circumstances of the forecast property performance fees with respect to each investment property including external factors such as its expected valuation, passage of time and outlook of the property market.

54[| ] Centuria Capital Limited - Bidder's Statement

Financial Effect of the Centuria Offer & Profile of the Combined Group Section 9

Development revenue

In 2019, Centuria entered into agreements to develop four social affordable housing dwellings in the greater Newcastle, NSW area. Centuria recognises development revenue based on satisfaction of performance obligations on an over-time basis as its customers control the land on which the developments are being delivered. Forecast development revenue considers expected completion dates of each development, it is expected that the developments will be substantially complete in the year ending 30 June 2021.

Distribution/dividend revenue

Centuria holds significant co-investment stakes in its managed funds including COF and CIP (17.04% and 17.06% respectively at 16 April 2021), and other unlisted funds. The forecast considers significant coinvestment stake increases/decreases during the year.

Interest and other income

Centuria expects to earn interest revenue from cash deposits and its reverse mortgage receivables during the forecast period. Other income mainly relates to underwriting fees earned on the Visy Glass industrial facility acquisition in New Zealand during the year.

Expenses

Forecast operating costs include staff costs, consulting and professional fees, external property management fees, administration, rent and other expenses.

Cost of sales

Cost of sales relate to development costs incurred in relation to the four social affordable housing dwellings in the greater Newcastle, NSW area. It is expected that the social affordable housing developments will be substantially complete in the year ending 30 June 2021.

Finance costs

Forecast finance costs are based on Centuria's existing wholesale notes and listed notes currently outstanding, none of which have maturities during the forecast period. These estimates factor into account forecast BBSY rates for the floating portion of Centuria's borrowings.

On 21 April 2021, Centuria successfully completed its offer of listed secured, redeemable notes, raising a total of $198.7 million with an interest rate of 4.25% + the bank bill rate. Centuria repaid $73.5 million of wholesale notes in April 2021. Finance costs have been recognised taking into account the date of completion of the offering and repayment of the wholesale notes.

Income tax benefit/(expense)

Centuria Capital Fund (CCF) is not liable to pay Australian income tax on the basis that unitholders will be attributed the entirety of the net income of CCF during the forecast period. Hence, no allowance for income tax has been made by CCF.

Centuria Capital Limited (CCL), Centuria Healthcare Pty Ltd and Centuria New Zealand Holdings Limited (and its New Zealand subsidiaries) are required to pay income tax on their respective net taxable income amounts.

9.3.5 Key assumptions and accounting policies underlying

the Primewest forecast operating income statement

The forecast operating income statement of Primewest is prepared on the basis of actual results for the period from 1 July 2020 to 31 March 2021 and the forecast result for the period from 1 April 2021 to 30 June 2021 (on a standalone basis).

The key best estimate assumptions made by Centuria in preparing the Primewest forecast income statement for the year ending 30 June 2021 are outlined below.

Management fees

Forecast management fees mainly comprise of income from the management of listed and unlisted property funds and their underlying properties. Forecast management fees are based on contractually agreed rates and amounts with the respective property fund, reflecting property acquisitions/disposals and changes in property valuations during the year which could materially increase/decrease forecast management fees.

Property acquisition fees

Forecast property acquisition fees relate to income generated from the acquisition of underlying properties in property funds managed by Primewest. Significant assumptions reflected in the forecast include the impact of the acquisition of 140 St George's Terrace, Perth WA with an acquisition value of approximately $260.0 million and a 0.50% transaction fee for the year ending 30 June 2021.

Distribution/dividend revenue

Primewest holds co-investment stakes in its managed fund Vitalharvest Freehold Trust (VTH) and various unlisted funds. The forecast considers significant co-investment stake increases/ decreases during the year.

Expenses

Forecast operating costs include staff costs, consulting and professional fees, external property management fees, administration, rent and other expenses.

Income tax benefit/(expense)

Primewest Property Fund (PPF) is not liable to pay Australian income tax on the basis that unitholders will be presently entitled to the net income of PPF during the forecast period. Hence, no allowance for income tax has been made by PPF.

Primewest Group Limited (PGL), is required to pay income tax on its net taxable income.

9.3.6 Key specific assumptions underlying the Combined Group

pro forma forecast operating income statement

The key best estimate assumptions made by Centuria in preparing the Combined Group pro forma forecast operating income statement for the year ending 30 June 2021 are outlined below.

Net cost savings and synergies are assumed to be approximately $5.3 million per annum, reflecting:

  • cost savings associated with the removal of duplicated corporate costs;

  • additional income from the expansion of property services across both businesses; and

  • income tax related synergies.

There is a risk that not all of these potential cost savings and synergies will be realised. Accordingly, you are cautioned not to place undue reliance on this information (see Section 12 including “Risks with realising anticipated synergies”).

9.3.7 Pro forma historical balance sheet of the Combined Group as at 31 December 2020

The pro forma historical balance sheet of the Combined Group as at 31 December 2020 has been compiled from:

  • the historical operating balance sheet of Centuria (on a stand-alone basis) as at 31 December 2020, as set out in Section 4.7.5;

  • the historical consolidated balance sheet of Primewest (on a standalone basis) as at 31 December 2020, as set out in Section 6.8.3; and

  • the pro forma adjustments, as set out in Section 9.3.8.

Financial Effect of the Centuria Offer & Profile of the Combined Group

Section 9

9.3.8 Pro forma adjustments to the Pro Forma Historical Balance Sheet

The pro forma adjustments made by Centuria to the Pro Forma Historical Balance Sheet of the Combined Group as at 31 December 2020 are outlined below.

Cash and equivalents

Cash reserves of Centuria will be used to fund the cash component of the Offer Consideration totalling $79.3 million, assuming the acquisition of 100% of Primewest Securities.

Centuria and Primewest will also use cash reserves to fund their respective portions of transaction costs associated with the Offer estimated to be $9.5 million in total.

Intangible assets

The acquisition of Primewest by Centuria will result in the recognition of incremental intangible assets which are estimated to be $331.7 million.

Preliminary purchase price accounting

Australian Accounting Standard AASB 3 Business Combinations allows the acquirer under a business combination a period of twelve months from the acquisition date to finalise the identification and valuation process of all assets and liabilities and any resultant accounting adjustments. Centuria has not finalised the identification and valuation of Primewest’s assets and liabilities, with finalisation to take place after successful completion of the Centuria Offer. For the purpose of preparing the Combined Group Pro-Forma Historical Balance Sheet, it has been assumed that the historical carrying value of assets and liabilities is equal to their fair value.

For the purposes of preparing the Combined Group Pro Forma Historical Balance Sheet, it has been assumed that there will be no resetting of the Combined Group’s tax cost bases following the acquisition. It is, however, likely that the allocable cost amount calculation will result in a deferred tax position which is different to the position presented in the Combined Group’s Pro Forma Historical Balance Sheet. Any resulting adjustment to deferred tax assets and liabilities will have an equal but opposite impact on the amount of intangible assets recognised in the Combined Group’s Pro Forma Historical Balance Sheet.

9.3.9 Post balance date events

This Section outlines the post-balance date events for both Centuria and Primewest which Centuria’s Directors believe are material in providing Primewest Securityholders a relevant and accurate presentation of the financial position of the Combined Group.

Centuria post balance date events comprise the following:

  • $194.9 million net receipt of cash from the successful retail notes offer completed in April 2021, net of transaction costs;

  • $16.7 million receipt of cash from settlement of a short-term loan balance to support the launch of a managed unlisted fund;

  • $7.7 million net receipt of cash from completion of a social and affordable housing development;

  • $73.5 million repayment of wholesale notes in April 2021;

  • $40.4 million purchase of additional co-investment stakes in COF and CIP;

  • $27.0 million payment of Centuria’s interim dividend for the year ending 30 June 2021, in January 2021;

  • $24.0 million payment for the acquisition of a 50% interest in Bass Capital Partners Pty Limited, a real estate debt fund provider, in April 2021; and

Section 10

10.1 Consideration under the Centuria Offer

The consideration for the acquisition of Primewest Securities to which the Centuria Offer relates will be satisfied partly in cash (in Australian dollars) and partly by the issue of Centuria Securities.

10.2 Securities Consideration

Taxation Considerations

Section 11

11.1 Australian tax considerations

The following summary is based upon Australian taxation law, established legislative interpretation and administrative practice in effect at the date of this Bidder's Statement. It is general in nature and is not intended to be an authoritative or complete statement of the laws applicable to the particular circumstances of every Primewest Securityholder. Primewest Securityholders should seek independent professional advice in relation to their own particular circumstances.

This taxation summary is applicable to resident and non-resident Primewest Securityholders that hold their stapled securities on capital account and therefore are subject to the Australian Capital Gains Tax ("CGT") rules. This summary does not apply to Primewest Securityholders' who hold their Primewest Securities as revenue assets, as trading stock, or if the Taxation of Financial Arrangements provisions in Division 230 of the ITAA 1997 apply to the Primewest Securities.

Centuria and its officers, employees, taxation or other advisers do not accept liability or responsibility in respect of any statement concerning taxation consequences, or in respect of the taxation consequences of the Centuria Offer.

This summary is confined to Australian taxation issues and is only one of the matters you need to consider when making a decision about your investments.

11.2 CGT consequences for resident Primewest Securityholders’ disposal of Primewest Securities

CGT

Acceptance of the Centuria Offer will involve the disposal by Primewest Securityholders of their Primewest Securities for Australian CGT purposes.

Each Primewest security is a stapled security comprising of a share and a unit which cannot be traded separately, being a share in Primewest Group Limited ("PGL Share") and a unit in Primewest Property Fund ("PWG Unit"). However, each PGL Share and PWG Unit should remain separate assets for Australian CGT purposes. The transfer of a Primewest Security should therefore give rise to a separate CGT event in respect of each PGL Share and PWG Unit, respectively.

Time of CGT event

The time of the CGT event in respect of the transfer of Primewest Securities should be the time when the contract of sale is entered into (ordinarily, upon acceptance of the Centuria Offer).

Capital gains and losses

Australian resident Primewest Securityholders may make a capital gain or capital loss on the transfer of each PGL Share and PWG Unit. A capital gain should arise where the capital proceeds from the disposal of each PWL share and PPF unit are more than the CGT cost base of the PGL Share and PWG Unit, respectively. A capital loss should arise where the capital proceeds for each PGL Share and PWG Unit are less than the reduced cost base of each PGL Share and PWG Unit, respectively.

The capital proceeds received by the Primewest Securityholders will be comprised of both Cash Consideration and Securities Consideration. The capital proceeds received for the disposal of PGL Shares will be equal to the cash received and the value of the CCL shares acquired in respect of the disposal of the PGL Shares, while the capital proceeds received in respect of the PWG Units will be equal to the cash received and the value of the CNI Units acquired in exchange for the disposal of PGW Units.

Australian tax resident individuals, complying superannuation entities or trustee that have held their Primewest Securities for at least 12 months may be entitled to discount the amount of any capital gain (after application of capital losses) from the disposal by 50% in the case of individuals and trusts, or by 33.3% for complying superannuation funds.

Where a capital gain arises, eligible Primewest Securityholders may elect for scrip-for-scrip rollover relief to apply to the scrip component of the bid consideration as outlined below at paragraph 11.4. The capital gain relating to the cash component of consideration should be immediately assessable to Primewest Securityholders as a capital gain (subject to availability of capital losses and/or the CGT discount).

11.3 CGT consequences for non-resident Primewest Securityholders’ disposal of Primewest Securities

Primewest Securityholders who are not Australian residents for income tax purposes are generally not subject to Australia capital gains tax on the disposal of Primewest Securities provided they and their "associates" do not hold 10% or more of the Primewest Securities on issue at the time of disposal, and have not (together with their "associates") held 10% or more of the Primewest Securities on issue throughout a 12 month period in the 24 months prior to the disposal of their Primewest Securities.

Where the 10% or more threshold is breached, a non-resident Primewest Securityholder may be subject to Australian CGT on the sale of their PWG Units if, at the time of disposal under the Centuria Offer, its underlying value is principally derived from Australian real property.

In the event that a non-resident Primewest Securityholder derives a taxable capital gain on the sale of its units in PWG units, the CGT discount is not available.

11.4 Scrip for scrip roll-over relief

Scrip for scrip rollover relief may be available to defer a capital gain made by a taxpayer to the extent that, amongst other things, under an arrangement, a taxpayer exchanges an interest (i.e. a share or unit in an entity) for a like interest (i.e. share or unit in another entity) ("scrip component"). Scrip for scrip rollover relief is not applicable to capital losses. It is also not applicable to the extent that Cash Consideration is provided for the shares and units.

Primewest Securityholders who make a capital gain in respect of the disposal of their PGL Shares or PWG Units may choose for the scrip-forscrip rollover relief from CGT to apply.

In summary:

  • a. The capital gain in respect of the disposal of the PGL Shares or the PWG Units attributable to the scrip component of the bid consideration is effectively deferred until the future disposal of the Centuria Securities which are received;

  • b. The first element of the Primewest Securityholder's cost base in the CCL shares and CNI Units that are received under the exchange should be equal to the relevant component of the historical cost base in their Primewest Securities (reduced by the portion of that historical cost base that is attributable to the cash component of consideration).

  • c. The Primewest Securityholder's date of acquisition for CGT purposes of the Centuria Securities that they receive will be treated as the date that their Primewest Securities were acquired.

For completeness, we note that scrip for scrip rollover relief will only be available once the eligibility requirements are met, including the key requirement that 80% of the Primewest Securities are acquired by Centuria under the Centuria Offer.

The relative benefit of electing CGT rollover relief is dependent on each Primewest Securityholder's particular circumstances. Primewest Securityholders should obtain their own independent tax advice as to the most appropriate course of action.

Taxation Considerations

Section 11

11.5 Application for Class Ruling – Scrip-for-Scrip Roll-over Relief

Primewest Group has sought a Class Ruling from the Commissioner of Taxation ("Commissioner") on behalf of the Primewest Securityholders in relation to the availability of scrip-for-scrip rollover relief. The Class Ruling sought by Primewest Group reflects the abovementioned tax outcomes. Accordingly, if the Commissioner confirms the outcomes described in the Class Ruling, the tax consequences in relation to scrip-for-scrip roll-over relief should be in accordance with those outlined above.

11.6 Non-resident Capital Gain Withholding Tax

Foreign resident capital gains withholding tax applies to a transaction involving the acquisition of the legal ownership of an asset that is an Australian indirect real property interest from a 'relevant foreign resident'.

If you are a Primewest Securityholder who has a registered address outside of Australia, or Centuria, as purchaser of your Primewest Securities under the Centuria Offer, reasonably believes you to be a 'relevant foreign resident', you will be provided (with this Bidder's Statement) a foreign resident capital gains withholding tax declaration form.

In the foreign resident capital gains withholding tax declaration form, a Primewest Securityholder may provide Centuria with a declaration that:

11.8 Stamp Duty

There should be no stamp duty payable by Primewest Securityholders on disposal of their Primewest Securities pursuant to the Centuria Offer.

11.9 Taxation of Centuria Securities for former Primewest Securityholders

Future distributions made in respect of Centuria Securities for former Primewest Securityholders should generally be subject to the same income tax treatment as distributions made in respect of their Primewest Securities. That is, franked, partially franked or unfranked dividends paid from Centuria Capital Limited will be assessable (with a franking credit potentially available) to Australian resident securityholders, and subject to Australian dividend withholding tax (to the extent unfranked) or exempt from Australian dividend withholding tax (to the extent franked) for non-resident securityholders. Trust distributions from Centuria Capital Fund will generally be comprised of income, capital and tax deferred distributions.

11.10 Taxation on disposal of Centuria Securities

Upon a future disposal of Centuria Securities, the tax implications for resident and non-resident shareholders will depend on the facts and circumstances at the time of disposal. Broadly, the implications should be similar to those described above (in relation to the disposal of Primewest Securities) by resident and non-resident securityholders.

  • a. the registered holder of the relevant Primewest Securities is an Australian tax resident; or

  • b. the registered holder of the relevant Primewest Securities, together with its associates, has not held an interest of 10% or more in Primewest as at the time when the contract of sale is entered into (ordinarily, upon acceptance of the Centuria Offer) or for a twelve month period during the last two years preceding the time when the contract of sale is entered into.

If you are a Primewest Securityholder who has a registered address outside of Australia, or Centuria, as purchaser of your Primewest Securities under the Centuria Offer, reasonably believes you to be a 'relevant foreign resident', you may be treated as being a relevant foreign resident for the purposes of the Centuria Offer and Centuria may withhold, and remit to the ATO, an amount equal to 12.5% of your Offer Consideration, unless you provide a signed foreign resident capital gains withholding tax declaration form to Centuria on or before the day of settlement of the sale of the Primewest Securities.

11.7 Goods and Services Tax ("GST")

Primewest Securityholders should not be liable to GST in respect of the disposal of their Primewest Securities.

Centuria Capital Limited - Bidder's Statement[| ] 61

Potential Risk Factors

Section 12

12.1 Overview

In deciding whether or not to accept the Centuria Offer, you should read this entire Bidder's Statement carefully. You should also carefully consider the risk factors outlined in this Section 12 and your personal circumstances. This Section 12 is general only and does not take into account your individual objectives, financial situation or needs.

If the Centuria Offer becomes unconditional, Primewest Securityholders who accept the Centuria Offer (other than an Ineligible Foreign Securityholders and Unmarketable Parcel Securityholders) will become Centuria Securityholders.

This Section 12 outlines:

  • the specific risks that are common to the existing businesses of Centuria and Primewest, and which will therefore be risks to which the Combined Group will be exposed (see Section 12.2);

  • the risks that arise from the Centuria Offer and the creation of the Combined Group (see Section 12.3);

  • other sector risks (see Section 12.4); and

  • other general risks (see Section 12.5).

Many of these risks are outside the control of Centuria and Primewest. Although the Combined Group will have in place a number of strategies to minimise exposure to, and mitigate the effects of, some of the risks outlined in this section, there can be no guarantee that such arrangements will protect the Combined Group from these risks.

A number of risks and uncertainties, which are both specific to Centuria and the Combined Group and of a more general nature, may affect the future operating and financial performance of Centuria (including the Combined Group) and the value of Centuria Securities. Centuria's ability to pay distributions to its security holders is dependent upon underlying earnings and cashflow generated by its business and may be adversely affected upon the risks materialising.

There is no guarantee or assurance that the risks will not change or that other risks or matters that may adversely affect the business of Centuria and the sectors in which it operates will not emerge. Before accepting the Centuria Offer, you should be satisfied that you have a sufficient understanding of the risks involved having regard to your investment objectives, financial circumstances and taxation position and seek advice from your accountant, financial adviser, stockbroker, lawyer or other professional adviser.

12.2 Risks specific to the Combined Group

This section identifies the key risks that may affect the future operating and financial performance of the Combined Group. These risk factors are not exhaustive of the risks faced by potential investors in Centuria Securities.

If any of the following risks materialise, the Combined Group's business, financial condition and operational results are likely to suffer. In this case, the trading price of Centuria Securities may fall and you may lose all or part of your investment, and/or the distributable income of Centuria may be lower than expected or zero, with distributions being reduced or being cut to zero.

Property liquidity

The property assets to which the Combined Group and the funds managed by the Combined Group are exposed are, by their nature, illiquid investments. There is a risk that the Combined Group 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 materially adversely affect the financial performance and/or position of the Combined Group.

Realisation risk

The ongoing value of properties held by funds managed by the Combined Group may fluctuate due to a number of factors including rental levels, occupancy assumptions, vacancy periods, rental incomes and capitalisation rates, all of which may change for a variety of reasons. Valuations 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 not fall as a result of the assumptions on which the relevant valuations are based proving to be incorrect.

Regulatory risk

Centuria and Primewest operate in a highly regulated environment and they are 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 breaches may affect the Combined Group'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 the Combined Group, then this action might result in the Combined Group's business being restricted or prohibited from providing financial services, including operating its funds management business, or might lead to the imposition of additional compliance costs or reputational damage. ASIC may make a public announcement of its regulatory action.

Changes in government legislation and policy in jurisdictions in which the Combined Group operate may affect the value of funds managed by the Combined Group and the financial performance and/or position of the Combined Group. Additionally, legislative changes may arise including changes in stamp duty or tenancy legislation, policies in relation to land development and zoning and delays in the granting of approvals or registration of subdivision plans.

Changes in relevant taxation laws, accounting standards, other legal, legislative and administrative regimes, and government policies (including Government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies), may have an adverse effect on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance of the Combined Group. These factors may ultimately affect the value of funds managed by the Combined Group, the Combined Group's financial position and performance and the market price of Centuria Securities.

Funds management

Centuria and Primewest respectively manage a number of funds on behalf of third party investors. The majority of the Combined Group’s income is derived from fees calculated with reference to the value of funds under the control of the Centuria's and Primewest’s respective funds management business. The Combined Group’s financial performance and/ or position may be adversely affected if it is not able to appropriately respond to the following risks:

  • significant or prolonged underperformance of the Centuria or Primewest funds that may affect the ability of Centuria or Primewest (as applicable) to retain existing funds and to attract new funds under management;

  • unitholder or competitor actions initiated to remove funds from the control of Centuria or Primewest’s funds management business;

  • a number of funds under the control of the Centuria's or Primewest’s funds management business are fixed term funds or funds where strategic review dates fall due in the short to medium term. Unitholder approval and/or endorsement is required for extensions or key investors may terminate management arrangements or otherwise remove their funds from the control of Centuria or Primewest's funds management business at any time;

62[| ] Centuria Capital Limited - Bidder's Statement

Potential Risk Factors

Section 12

  • the direct property funds that Centuria or Primewest's funds management business manages have exposure to a variety of entities that lease or otherwise 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 terms, 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.

Reliance on third party equity

As a fund manager, growth in the Combined Group's earnings may be impacted by the ability of the Combined Group to establish new listed or unlisted funds. Specifically, such income growth is dependent on the ability of the Combined Group 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-investment positions in a number of the funds it manages. Factors influencing the financial performance of these managed funds may adversely impact the value of Centuria's assets or quantum of its earnings which may in turn impact the market price of the Centuria Securities. If the Centuria Offer completes, this co-investment risk will apply to the Combined Group.

Funding

The Combined Group and funds managed by the Centuria and Primewest funds management businesses 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 (including interest rates) may have an adverse impact on the Combined Group's performance or financial position. Further, these debt facilities are subject to various covenants including interest coverage ratios and loan to valuation ratios. The use of debt funding may enhance returns and increase the number of assets that the Combined Group can acquire, but it may also substantially increase the risk of loss. Use of debt funding may adversely affect the Combined Group 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 markets occur.

Acquisition risks

The Combined Group has a significant potential acquisition pipeline that it is pursuing in order to drive future growth of the Combined Group's business. There is no guarantee that the Combined Group will be able to execute all current or future acquisitions, or execute any such acquisitions within its intended timeframe, which may adversely affect the Combined Group's financial performance. If current or future acquisitions are not successfully integrated with the existing business of the Combined Group or planned synergies and efficiencies are not otherwise realised, the financial performance of the Combined Group could be materially adversely affected.

Information system disruption

The Combined Group relies on its infrastructure and information technology in order to operate its business. A severe disruption to or failure of the Combined Group's information technology systems may adversely affect the operations of the Combined Group and its current and future business and financial performance and/or position.

Personnel risk

The ability of the Combined Group to successfully deliver on its strategy is dependent on retaining key employees. The loss of senior management, or other key personnel, could adversely affect the Combined Group's current and future business and financial performance. There is no guarantee that the Primewest executives (John Bond, David Schwartz and Jim Litis) will continue as employees of the Combined Group after two years.

12.3 Risks relating to the Centuria Offer and the creation of the Combined Group

In addition to the risk factors set out in Section 12.2, the following risks may arise as a result of the Centuria Offer and/or the creation of the Combined Group.

Acquisition of less than 100% of Primewest

If Centuria acquires less than 90% of all of the Primewest Securities on issue under the Centuria Offer, this would prevent Centuria compulsorily acquiring all remaining Primewest Securities.

Primewest Securityholders should note that there is a risk that if the Centuria Offer completes and Centuria does not acquire 100% of Primewest Securities, holders who do not accept the Centuria Offer become holders in a less liquid investment (and consequently Primewest Securities may trade below their current pricing levels or the implied value of the Centuria Offer).

Issue of Centuria Securities as consideration

Primewest Securityholders are being offered Centuria Securities as consideration under the Centuria Offer. As a result, the value of the consideration will fluctuate depending upon the market value of Centuria Securities.

Accordingly, the market value of Centuria Securities at the time you receive them may vary significantly from their market value on the date of your acceptance of the Centuria Offer.

Sale of Centuria Securities

Under the Centuria Offer, Centuria will issue a significant number of new Centuria Securities. Some Primewest Securityholders may not intend to continue to hold their Centuria Securities and may wish to sell them. There is a risk that increased sales of Centuria Securities may adversely impact on the price of, and demand for, Centuria Securities. Furthermore, under the sale facility there will be a sale of Centuria Securities. Such sale may adversely impact the price of, and demand for, Centuria Securities.

Tax

The potential availability of scrip for scrip rollover relief to capital gains arising to Primewest Securityholders is discussed above at Section 11.4. The availability of scrip for scrip rollover relief is subject to various requirements, a number of which depend on the Primewest Securityholder’s individual facts and circumstances.

Further, a general requirement of the scrip for scrip rollover relief is that Centuria must acquire at least 80% of all the Primewest Securities as a result of the Centuria Offer. This requirement should be met as the Centuria Offer requires a minimum acceptance of 90%. While Centuria may waive the minimum acceptance condition, it may not waive or vary to reduce the acceptance level (including acceptances through the Acceptance Facility) below 80%, without the consent of Primewest, after good faith consultation with Centuria. If Primewest consents to waiving the minimum acceptance condition in circumstances where Centuria has not received acceptances of at least 80% of Primewest Securities (including acceptances under the Acceptance Facility) and Centuria does not ultimately acquire 80% or more of the Primewest Securities under the Centuria Offer, rollover will not be available.

As noted at section 11.5 of this Bidder’s Statement, a Class Ruling application for rollover relief has been lodged with the ATO on behalf of the Primewest Securityholders. The ATO has not yet issued a ruling in draft or final, however no concerns have been raised by the ATO in relation to the application to date.

Where rollover relief is not available, Primewest Securityholders who make a capital gain would have to pay tax on their gain, whilst Cash Consideration received may be insufficient to fund their tax liability (unless they also sell the requisite number of Centuria Securities).

Counterparty change of control risk

Primewest entities are parties to agreements that may contain preemptive or default rights or change of control provisions that may be triggered if Centuria acquires Primewest Securities representing a

Centuria Capital Limited - Bidder's Statement[| ] 63

Potential Risk Factors

Section 12

majority of the voting rights of Primewest, Primewest is delisted or there is a change in the responsible entity of Primewest.

The operation of these provisions, if triggered, could have negative consequences including enabling a counterparty to terminate a contract, accelerate payment obligations or require a Primewest Group entity to renegotiate a contract or sell joint venture interests. These provisions may be waived or a change of control consented to by the counterparty. Centuria will seek such consents and waivers as it considers are necessary. In the absence of counterparty consent or appropriate waivers, the operation of any of these change of control provisions could adversely affect the operations and/or financial position and performance of the Combined Group.

The bid Condition contained in item 11 of Appendix 2 relates to change of control provisions. As at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, Centuria understands that a number of the change of control consents or approvals contemplated by that bid Condition have been satisfied, waiver or obtained.

Integration risks

There is a risk that implementation and other one-off costs of integration may be substantial or greater than reasonably anticipated. This could have a material adverse impact on the Combined Group's financial position and performance.

The transition of information systems and data, technical, financial and legal information and resources may not proceed smoothly and may divert management's attention from managing the Combined Group's businesses. There is a risk that revenue streams or operations could be disrupted or that costs associated with the transition may be greater than expected, which could adversely affect the Combined Group's financial position and performance.

Risks with realising anticipated synergies

The performance of the Combined Group will be affected by, among other factors, the successful integration of the businesses of Centuria and Primewest. There is no guarantee that the businesses of the Combined Group will be able to be integrated successfully without any unexpected delays or incurring additional costs. There is a risk that the operating and financial performance and future prospects of the Combined Group could be adversely impacted if the businesses of Centuria and Primewest are not integrated effectively. Additionally, such integration may take longer than expected and anticipated efficiencies, benefits and potential synergies of that integration may be less than targeted.

Further, as discussed in Section,12.2, there is a risk that the implementation of the Takeover Bid may not result in realisation of the estimated potential synergies (either on time or at all) due to, a variety of possible factors including:

  • forecast cost savings not being achieved;

  • forecast additional income amounts not being achieved;[27] and

  • income tax related synergies not being achieved due to, for example, the methodology used to determine value between the two sides of the Centuria stapled structure (i.e. between CCL and CNI Fund) being challenged by the Australian Taxation Office including after completion of the Centuria Offer.

If the integration of the businesses of Centuria and Primewest is not achieved in an effective manner and within a reasonable time, the full benefits of the potential synergies may be achieved only in part, or not at all.

Assumptions by Centuria

Centuria has made certain assumptions in estimating EPS and EPS accretion of the Combined Group for the year ending 30 June 2021 as set out in Section 9.3.5.

There is a risk that the assumptions may not be accurate and the EPS and EPS accretion per security for the year ending 30 June 2021 may be higher or lower than estimated.

Centuria may not successfully integrate recent and future acquisitions.

Centuria has expanded through acquisitions in the past and expects to continue to expand through acquisitions in the future. Centuria has successfully integrated each of these acquisitions. There is a risk that Centuria fails to integrate successfully future acquisitions with its existing businesses, experiences higher than anticipated integration costs, or realises lower than anticipated synergies, or there is a significant delay in achieving the successful integration of these acquisitions, which could have a material adverse effect on Centuria's earnings from the acquisition.

Impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets

The financial statements of the Combined Group will be prepared in conformity with AAS and consistent with the current accounting policies of Centuria. Under AAS, intangible assets that have an indefinite useful life including goodwill, are not subject to amortisation and are reviewed annually for impairment. Individual assets that are subject to amortisation are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an individual asset may not be recoverable. Changes to the carrying amounts of intangible assets of the Combined Group could have an adverse impact on the reported financial performance of the Combined Group.

Accounting revisions may be required

Primewest has particular accounting policies and methods which are fundamental to how it records and reports its financial position and results of operations. The management of Primewest may have exercised judgement in selecting and applying certain accounting policies or methods which might have been reasonable under the circumstances yet might have resulted in reporting materially different outcomes than would have been reported under Centuria's policies and methods.

While no material differences between Centuria's and Primewest's policies and methods have been identified to date, it is not certain that those policies have been applied in the same way. The integration of Primewest's accounting functions may lead to revisions of these accounting policies, which may adversely impact the Combined Group's reported results of operations and/or financial position and performance.

Reliance on public information and information given access by Primewest

In preparing the information relating to Primewest contained in this Bidder's Statement, Centuria has relied on publicly available information relating to Primewest and information regarding the Primewest Group given access by Primewest. Risks may exist in relation to Primewest (which may affect the Combined Group) of which Centuria may be unaware. However, as Primewest is an ASX listed entity, any substantial threats to Primewest's business should have been disclosed pursuant to Primewest's periodic and continuous disclosure obligations.

If any material risks are known to Primewest's directors, they must be disclosed in the target's statement to be issued by Primewest.

Potential Risk Factors

Section 12

12.4 Other sector risks

In addition to the other risk factors set out in Section 12, the business activities of the Combined Group will be subject to various industry specific risks that may impact on the future performance of the Combined Group. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Combined Group and cannot be mitigated.

The general risks to which participants in the property investment and development industry are exposed include the following (which you are currently exposed to through your holding of Primewest Securities and will continue to be exposed to as a Centuria Securityholder).

Property sector risks

Centuria and Primewest are subject to the prevailing property market conditions in the sectors in which each of the funds under the control of Centuria and/or Primewest operate and the jurisdiction in which each of their 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 interest rates, economic cycles and risk appetite, as well as volume of sales, the ability to procure tenants, contracted rental returns, operating, maintenance and refurbishment expenses and the funding environment. 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 the Combined Group's earnings through directly reducing the value of the Combined Group's existing funds under management, reducing the value of property assets, and reducing the attractiveness of the property sector to investors. In addition, property assets are by their nature relatively illiquid, and consequently the Combined Group may not be able to achieve the disposal of the property asset(s) in a timely manner or at an optimal sale price. The above could adversely affect the fees the Combined Group receives from its funds.

Returns from investments

The value, expectations of capital growth, and returns from the Combined Group's property assets will fluctuate depending on property market conditions. The demand for property and listed property securities may change as investor preferences for particular sectors and asset classes change. The demand for property as an asset class, and correspondingly, rental and occupancy levels, change over time and can be influenced by general economic factors such as interest rates, property market trends, stock market cycles and exchange rates. These may affect the distributions paid by Centuria and the market price of Centuria Securities.

The ability to procure tenants (including timing and rental paid), demand from investors into funds, expenses in operating, refurbishing and maintaining properties, and timing of receiving sale proceeds may influence the value of the Combined Group's assets. The supply of competing buildings, both existing and new, may also affect the ability to secure lease renewals, retain existing tenants or obtain new tenants. If it becomes not possible to negotiate lease renewals or maintain existing lease terms, income and book values may be adversely impacted.

Competition

The Combined Group will face competition from other property groups active in Australia. Such competition could lead to, among others, the following adverse outcomes:

  • an inability to retain existing funds and attract new funds under management;

  • the termination of management arrangements or removal of funds from the control of the Combined Group's funds management business;

  • the reduction of management fee income derived from the fund;

12.5 Other general risks

In addition to the other risk factors set out in Section 12, the business activities of the Combined Group will be subject to various general economic risks that may impact on the future performance of the Combined Group. Some of these risks can be mitigated by the use of safeguards and appropriate systems and controls, but some are outside the control of the Combined Group and cannot be mitigated.

Infectious disease, including COVID-19

The outbreak of an infectious disease (such as MERS, Ebola, the avian flu, H1N1, SARS, the Zika virus and the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic) in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the U.S., the Middle East and/or elsewhere, together with any resulting restrictions on travel and/or imposition of quarantines, restrictions on and or closure of businesses and other changes to laws or social and business interaction, could have a negative impact on the economy and business activities of the Combined Group including on each of the risks identified in this section. There can be no assurance that any precautionary measures taken against infectious diseases would be effective. A future outbreak of an infectious disease or any other serious public health concerns in Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Europe, the U.S. the Middle East and/or elsewhere could adversely affect the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Combined Group.

COVID-19 relief measures

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Commonwealth, state and territory parliaments implemented a variety of relief measures. Relief measures were legislated separately by the Commonwealth, state and territory parliaments, with the relief offered varying between jurisdictions. As a result, different legislation with different requirements have been implemented across each state and territory in which Centuria and Primewest operate.

Some relief measures have been targeted at tenants of residential and commercial property. Examples of relief available to tenants has included a temporary moratorium on evictions, restrictions on rent increases, entitlements to rent renegotiations and obligations to act in good faith. Other relief measures have been made available more broadly, including to qualifying landlords. Examples have included reductions in land tax, reductions in or deferral of payroll tax and the JobKeeper wage subsidy scheme. Relief measures available to landlords have often been linked to the actual rental relief they pass onto their tenants, or payments they pass onto their employees.

The timing of the expiry of these relief measures varies between the Commonwealth, states and territories. Although some relief measures have already expired, or are due to expire soon, it is not possible to predict this timing with certainty, as the Commonwealth, state and territory parliaments may legislate to vary, renew, extend, or shorten the relief measures in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It is not possible to determine at the date of this Bidder's Statement the extent of the adverse impact that these relief measures and the expiry of these measures may have on the financial position of the Combined Group. The relief measures may individually or collectively have an adverse impact on the financial performance of Centuria and Primewest. It is also possible that the expiry of relief measures will have an adverse impact on the Australian economy, with a flow on adverse impact on the financial performance of the Combined Group.

Equity market conditions

The market price of Centuria Securities will be affected by the financial performance of the Combined Group and other varied and often unpredictable factors influencing equity and credit markets generally. These factors include international stock markets, interest rates, domestic and international economic conditions, domestic and international political stability, investor sentiment, and the demand for equities generally.

  • non-renewal of fixed terms funds or funds where strategic renewal dates fall due in the short to medium term; and

  • an inability to source and acquire appropriate assets for new or existing funds.

Potential Risk Factors

Section 12

General economic conditions

The operating and financial performance of the Combined Group is influenced by a variety of general economic conditions and business conditions, including the level of inflation, interest rates and exchange rates and Government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Higher than expected inflation rates generally or specific to the property sector could be expected to increase costs. A prolonged deterioration in general economic conditions could materially and adversely affect the Combined Group's operations and/or financial position and performance.

Taxation changes may occur

Changes in tax law (including goods and services taxes and stamp duties), or changes in the way taxation laws are interpreted may impact the tax liabilities of the Combined Group or the tax treatment of a Centuria Securityholder's investment. In particular, both the level and basis of taxation may change. In addition, an investment in Centuria Securities involves tax considerations which may differ for each Centuria Securityholder. Each prospective securityholder is encouraged to seek professional tax advice in connection with any investment in Centuria.

Litigation and disputes

Disputes or litigation may arise from time to time in the course of business activities. There is a risk that material or costly disputes or litigation could adversely affect the Combined Group's financial performance and the value of Centuria Securities.

Insurance

Centuria will carry a range of insurance cover for various assets. However, there are certain events for which Centuria may not be able to maintain insurance cover for. These events may include, but are not limited to, acts of war or political instability and catastrophic events such as floods. In the event of an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of the relevant insured limit, Centuria could suffer damage to its reputation and Centuria and the relevant funds it manages could lose all or a portion of their future revenues.

Climate Risk

The long-term implications of climate change may impact Centuria or Primewest on several fronts and in the future, climate change may be a long term driver of both financial and non-financial risks.

Occupational health and safety

Failure to comply with the necessary occupational health and safety legislative requirements across the jurisdictions in which the Combined Group operates could result in fines, penalties and compensation for damages as well as reputational damage.

Other factors

Other factors may impact on an entity's performance including natural disasters, changes or disruptions to political, regulatory, legal or economic conditions or to the national or international financial markets including as a result of epidemics, terrorist attacks or war.

Escrow deeds

A Condition of the Centuria Offer is that each of John Bond (Primewest Executive Chairman), David Schwartz (Primewest Managing Director) and Jim Litis (Primewest Executive Director) (or their respective nominees) must enter into a form of escrow deed in customary form determined by Centuria and Primewest, acting reasonably, in respect of their Centuria Securities issued under the Centuria Offer as follows:

The securities will cease to be subject to escrow if the lender validly enforces its security in connection with its loan to a holder.

Disclosure obligations

Centuria is committed to fair and open disclosure and has adopted policies and procedures to ensure that the Centuria meets its disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules. The focus of these policies and procedures is to effect the Centuria's commitment to:

  • Comply with the general and continuous disclosure principles contained in the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act;

  • Prevent the selective or inadvertent disclosure of price sensitive information;

  • Ensure that security holders and the market are provided with full and timely information about its activities; and

  • Ensure that all market participants have equal opportunity to receive externally available information issued by the Centuria.

Information rights of the security holders

Centuria aims to provide prompt, accurate and accessible information to its security holders. It has established a Communications Policy detailing steps to be taken to achieve this objective, a copy of which can be viewed at centuria.com.au/governance.

Risk management and internal control

Centuria has established an Audit, Risk & Compliance Committee ( ARCC ). The ARCC consists of three independent Directors and is chaired by an independent chair who is not the chair of the Centuria's Board. All members are financially literate either holding financial or accounting qualifications and/or having professional experience in a financial or accounting related field.

13.9 Acceptance Facility and broker handling fees

Centuria has established an acceptance facility for certain Primewest Securityholders (Participating Acceptance Facility Securityholders ) ( Acceptance Facility ) in order to facilitate receipt of acceptances of the Centuria Offer. Primewest Securityholders who are not Participating Acceptance Facility Securityholders cannot participate in the Acceptance Facility.

A Participating Acceptance Facility Securityholder is a person identified by Centuria as a Primewest Securityholder who holds or beneficially owns at least A$500,000 worth of Primewest Securities based on the consideration payable under the Centuria Offer.[28]

Centuria recognises that certain Primewest Securityholders may be unable or unwilling to accept the Centuria Offer until the Centuria Offer becomes or is declared unconditional. The Acceptance Facility has therefore been established to provide Participating Acceptance Facility Securityholders with the ability to register their support for the Centuria Offer and their intention to accept the Centuria Offer before the Centuria Offer becomes or is declared unconditional.

The Acceptance Facility collection agent for the Acceptance Facility is Ord Minnett Limited ABN 86 002 733 048 (AFSL 237121) (Facility Agent).

Before making a decision whether or not to participate in the Acceptance Facility, Participating Acceptance Facility Securityholders are encouraged to consult with their financial or other professional adviser.

In summary, the Acceptance Facility will operate in the following way.

  • A Participating Acceptance Facility Securityholder who wishes to participate in the Acceptance Facility must provide to the Facility Agent duly completed and executed documentation appointing the Facility Agent as the Acceptance Facility collection agent, together with a signed Acceptance Form and/or direction to its custodian, nominee or trustee (Custodian Direction) to accept the Centuria Offer (each, Acceptance Instructions) .

  • The Facility Agent will hold the Acceptance Instructions as the Acceptance Facility collection agent and bare trustee only and will not acquire a relevant interest in any of the Primewest Securities the subject of the Acceptance Instructions.

• The Facility Agent must:

  • deliver all Acceptance Forms to Centuria or its share registry, Boardroom Pty Limited (ACN 003 209 836), in accordance with the instructions on the relevant Acceptance Forms or, in the case of Primewest Securities held in a CHESS Holding, give the Acceptance Forms to the relevant Controlling Participant;

  • deliver all Custodian Directions to Centuria or to the relevant custodians, nominees or trustees; and/or

  • direct the relevant Participating Acceptance Facility Securityholder to initiate acceptance of the Centuria Offer in accordance with rule 14.14 of the ASX Settlement Operating

  • Rules,

immediately after Centuria confirms to the Facility Agent by written notice ( Confirmation Letter ) that Centuria has:

  • declared the Centuria Offer free of all Conditions; or

  • will declare the Centuria Offer free of all Conditions no later than the time that all Acceptance Instructions are processed; and

  • the Primewest Securities in which Centuria and its associates have a relevant interest combined with the Primewest

  • Securities that are the subject of the Acceptance Facility exceeds the specified percentage contained in the minimum acceptance condition of all Primewest Securities in the bid class.

Centuria is under no obligation to give the Confirmation Letter to the Facility Agent.

  • Participating Acceptance Facility Securityholders retain all rights and control over their Primewest Securities and will be able to withdraw their Acceptance Instructions at any time prior to the Facility Agent receiving the Confirmation Letter from Centuria.

  • Centuria reserves the right to declare the Centuria Offer free from all defeating conditions (other than the minimum acceptance condition, which Centuria may not waive or vary to reduce the acceptance level (including acceptances through the Acceptance Facility) below 80%, without the consent of Primewest, after good faith consultation with Centuria) at any time (subject to the Corporations Act), irrespective of the number of acceptances held by Centuria, or the number of Primewest Securities that are the subject of Acceptance Instructions held by the Facility Agent.

A copy of the documentation underlying the Acceptance Facility will be provided to persons identified by Centuria as being Participating Acceptance Facility Securityholders and will also be provided to persons Centuria is satisfied are Participating Acceptance Facility Securityholders on request to the Facility Agent by email to [email protected] (addressed to Jonathan Haslam).

Before 8.30am on each Business Day (or at any other time upon request from Centuria), the Facility Agent will notify Centuria of the number of Primewest Securities in respect of which Acceptance Instructions have been received as at 7:00pm (Sydney time) the previous day, with the expectation that Centuria will release this information to the ASX.

Following receipt of this information from the Facility Agent, Centuria will disclose this information to the ASX by 9.30am (Sydney time) on the Business Day following any movement of at least 1% in the aggregate level of Centuria's voting power during the Offer Period and the votes attached to Primewest Securities the subject of the valid Acceptance Instructions held subject to the Acceptance Facility.

28 The $500,000 threshold is determined with reference to the Implied Offer Price multiplied by the number of Primewest Securities held.

For the purpose of confirming its assessment whether or not to acquire all of the Primewest Securities, Centuria was given access by Primewest to certain information concerning the Primewest Group which has not been disclosed generally to Primewest Securityholders.

Except as disclosed in this Bidder's Statement, none of the information to which Centuria was given access is, in the opinion of Centuria, of such a nature and quality which, if the information were generally available, a reasonable person would expect to have a material effect on the price or value of Primewest Securities. Further, in the opinion of Centuria and except as disclosed in this Bidder's Statement, none of that information would otherwise be material to a decision by a Primewest Securityholder whether or not to accept the Centuria Offer.

However, the fact that Centuria's decision to make the Centuria Offer was confirmed by its review of the information to which is has access may itself be regarded as information material to the decision of a Primewest Securityholder whether or not to accept this Centuria Offer.

13.11 Regulatory matters

Approval of Nominee

Centuria has received ASIC approval for the appointment of Morgan Stanley Australia Securities Limited ABN 55 078 652 276 (AFSL 233741) as nominee for the purposes of section 619(3) of the Corporations Act, with regard to the proposed sale of Centuria Securities that would have otherwise been issued to Ineligible Foreign Securityholders and Unmarketable Parcel Securityholders. The requirement to seek approval from ASIC to appoint a nominee in this way is a procedural step required by section 619(3) of the Corporations Act.

Potential issuance of Class A Units

Centuria has sought ASIC relief to effectively vary ASIC Instrument 16-0805 (the 2016 Stapling Instrument) by issue of a supplementary instrument or a modification or reissue of the 2016 Stapling Instrument, to permit the proposed issue by CNI Fund of a special class of units with limited rights (the Class A Units) to CCL (i.e. internal to the stapled group). If the relevant relief is obtained, CNI Fund will likely issue the Class A Units to CCL as a new class of units. The proposed issue of Class A Units does not affect voting by Centuria Securityholders or control of the CNI Fund. The redemption amount for the Class A Units would be offset against existing debt obligations in favour of the CNI Fund, and accordingly has minimal impact or ramifications outside the stapled entities themselves. This application is not critical to the Takeover Bid nor a requirement for completion of the Centuria Offer.

13.12 Potential for waiver of defeating conditions

The Centuria Offer is subject to limited and customary conditions set out in Appendix 2. Under the terms of the Centuria Offer and the Corporations Act, any or all of those defeating conditions may be waived by Centuria (other than the minimum acceptance condition, which Centuria may not waive or vary to reduce the acceptance level (including acceptances through the Acceptance Facility) below 80%, without the consent of Primewest, after good faith consultation with Centuria).

If an event occurs which results (or would result) in the non-fulfilment of a defeating condition, Centuria might not make a decision as to whether it will either rely on that occurrence, or instead waive the defeating condition in respect of that occurrence, until the date for giving notice as to the status of the conditions of the Centuria Offer under section 630(3) of the Corporations Act. If Centuria decides that it will waive a defeating condition, it will announce that decision to the ASX in accordance with section 650F of the Corporations Act.

If any of the defeating conditions is not fulfilled, and Centuria decides to rely on that non-fulfilment, then any contract resulting from acceptance of the Centuria Offer will become void at (or, in some cases, shortly after) the end of the Offer Period, and the relevant Primewest Securities will be returned to the holder.

13.13 Status of defeating conditions

This Centuria Offer is subject to a number of Conditions set out in Appendix 2. Centuria will provide updates on any material developments relating to the status of these Conditions during the Offer Period.

As at the date of this Bidder's Statement, Centuria is currently not aware of any events or circumstances which may lead to a breach or non-fulfilment of a defeating condition in Appendix 2. If the defeating conditions in Appendix 2 are not fulfilled or waived, then no contract will be capable of arising at all from the acceptance of the Centuria Offer.

As at the date of this Bidder’s Statement, the Condition on “escrow” specified in Section 1 of Appendix 2 (and contained in section 5(d) of schedule 1 to the Bid Implementation Deed) have been satisfied.

13.22 Foreign jurisdictions

The distribution of this Bidder's Statement outside Australia or New Zealand may, in some countries, be restricted by law or regulation. Accordingly, persons who come into possession of this Bidder's Statement should inform themselves of, and observe, those restrictions.

The Centuria Offer is being proposed and will be conducted in accordance with the laws in force in Australia and with the Listing Rules. The disclosure requirements in relation to the Centuria Offer in Australia will differ from those applying in other jurisdictions (including the United States). The financial statements included in this Bidder's Statement have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Australia that will differ from those in other jurisdictions (including the United States). Substantially all of the directors of Centuria and the assets of Centuria are located in Australia and New Zealand. As a result, investors who reside in places other than Australia and New Zealand may have difficulties in enforcing their rights and any claims they may have arising under the laws of the jurisdiction in which they are resident (including, for United States investors, the United States federal securities laws) against Centuria or any of its directors, officers or employees. It may be difficult to compel Centuria and its affiliates to subject themselves to a judgment of a court outside Australia.

This Bidder's Statement is neither an offer to sell to, nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities (as such terms are defined under the US Securities Act) other than Primewest Securities from Ineligible Foreign Securityholders. The Centuria Securities to be issued pursuant to the Centuria Offer have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act or the securities laws of any United States state or other jurisdiction and therefore may not be offered or sold to persons resident in or located in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the US Securities Act.

None of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, any United States state securities commission or any other United States regulatory authority has passed comment upon or endorsed the merits of the Centuria Offer or the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of this Bidder's Statement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

This Bidder’s Statement is not a New Zealand product disclosure statement or other similar offering or disclosure document under New Zealand law and has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority under or in accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (NZ) or any other relevant New Zealand law. The offer of Centuria Securities under the Centuria Offer is being made to existing Primewest Securityholders with registered addresses in New Zealand in reliance upon an exemption from the relevant New Zealand securities regime and accordingly, this Bidder’s Statement may not contain all the information that a product disclosure statement under New Zealand law is required to contain.

13.23 Ineligible Foreign Securityholder or an Unmarketable Parcel Securityholder

Primewest Securityholders who are Ineligible Foreign Securityholders or Unmarketable Parcel Securityholders will not be entitled to receive Centuria Securities as consideration for their Primewest Securities pursuant to the Centuria Offer, unless Centuria otherwise determines in its absolute discretion.

A Primewest Securityholder is an Ineligible Foreign Securityholder for the purposes of the Centuria Offer if their address as shown in the register of securityholders of Primewest is in a jurisdiction other than Australia or its external territories or New Zealand. However, such a Primewest Securityholder will not be an Ineligible Foreign Securityholder if Centuria otherwise determines (in its absolute discretion) that it is:

  • not unlawful, onerous or impracticable to make the Centuria Offer in the relevant jurisdiction and to issue Centuria Securities to such a Primewest Securityholder on acceptance of the Centuria Offer; and

  • not unlawful for such a Primewest Securityholder to accept the Centuria Offer in such circumstances in the relevant jurisdiction.

Notwithstanding anything else in this Bidder's Statement, Centuria is not under any obligation to spend any money, or undertake any action, in order to satisfy itself concerning any of these matters.

A Primewest Securityholder is an Unmarketable Parcel Securityholder for the purposes of the Centuria Offer if, were they to accept the Centuria Offer, Centuria Securities would be issued to them which would not constitute a Marketable Parcel. A Marketable Parcel is a parcel of securities that (among other things) has a value of not less than $500.[29]

The Centuria Securities which would otherwise have been issued to any such Ineligible Foreign Securityholders and Unmarketable Parcel Securityholders will instead be issued to a Nominee approved by ASIC, who will sell these Centuria Securities. The net cash proceeds of the sale of such securities will then be remitted to the relevant Ineligible Foreign Securityholders and Unmarketable Parcel Securityholders.

13.24 No escalation agreements

Neither Centuria nor any of its associates has entered into any escalation agreement that is prohibited by section 622 of the Corporations Act.

13.25 Social security and superannuation implications of the Centuria Offer

Acceptance of the Centuria Offer may have implications under your superannuation arrangements or on your social security entitlements. If in any doubt, you should seek specialist advice.

29 The $500 value is determined with reference to the close price of Centuria Securities on 16 April 2021 of $2.77, multiplied by the number of Centuria Securities that would have been issued under the Centuria Offer.

13.26 Fees

Small differences in both investment performance and fees and costs can have a substantial impact on your long-term returns.

For example, total annual fees and costs of 2% of your fund, rather than 1% could reduce your final return by up to 20% over a 30 year period (for example, reduce it from $100,000 to $80,000).

You should consider whether features such as superior investment performance or the provision of better member services justify higher fees and costs.

This Section shows fees and other costs that you may be charged. These fees and costs may be deducted from your money, from the returns on your investment or from the assets of the CNI Fund as a whole.

Taxes are set out in another part of this document.

You should read all the information about fees and costs because it is important to understand their impact on your investment.

All fees and costs in this table are inclusive of GST and take into account expected input tax credits or reduced input tax credits for GST on fees and costs where applicable.

You may be able to negotiate to pay lower contribution fees and management costs where applicable. Ask the fund or your financial adviser.

To find out more

If you would like to find out more, or see the impact of the fees based on your own circumstances, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) website moneysmart.gov.au has a managed investment funds fee calculator to help you check out different fee options.

Formal Terms of the Centuria Offer

Appendix 1

1 Centuria Offer

Centuria offers to acquire all (but not some) of your Primewest Securities, together with all Rights attaching to them, on and subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Appendices to this Bidder's Statement.

This Centuria Offer relates to Primewest Securities that exist or will exist at the Register Date and extends to any Primewest Securities that are issued between that date and the end of the Offer Period as a result of the conversion of, or exercise of Rights attached to, other securities that are convertible into Primewest Securities that are on issued at the Register Date.

You may only accept this Centuria Offer for all of your Primewest Securities.

By accepting this Centuria Offer, you undertake to transfer to Centuria not only the Primewest Securities to which this Centuria Offer relates but also all Rights attached to those Primewest Securities (see Section 8.2 of Appendix 1).

2 Consideration

2.1 Consideration offered

The consideration offered is $0.20 in cash and 0.473 Centuria Securities for each Primewest Security ("Offer Consideration").

Other than those Permitted Primewest Distributions described in Section 3.6, if the record date occurs after 30 June 2021, the Offer Consideration may be reduced by the cash amount of value (excluding the value of any franking credits attached to the distributions) of any such distribution.

2.2 Ineligible Foreign Securityholders and Unmarketable Parcel Securityholders

If at the time this Centuria Offer is made to you, you are an Ineligible Foreign Securityholder or an Unmarketable Parcel Securityholder, then, despite any other provision of this Centuria Offer, you are not entitled to be offered or to receive Centuria Securities as consideration under the Centuria Offer. Instead, if you accept this Centuria Offer, you will receive a cash amount determined in accordance with Section 6.3 of Appendix 1.

2.3 Rounding of securities

If you become entitled to a fraction of one Centuria Security, that fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole Centuria Security (even if the result is zero).

2.4 Ranking of Centuria Securities

The Centuria Securities to be issued under the Centuria Offer will be issued fully paid and will rank equally in all respects with all other Centuria Securities currently on issue.

2.5 Distribution and entitlements

Centuria will be entitled to all Rights (including distributions and entitlements declared, paid or made by Primewest or which arise or accrue after the Announcement Date) in respect of Primewest Securities which Centuria acquires pursuant to this Centuria Offer, other than the following permitted distributions (as contemplated by the Bid Implementation Deed):

  • the distribution of 2.9 cents per Primewest Security which is payable to those Primewest Securityholders on the Primewest register as at the record date described in Section 7.4; and

  • only if the Offer Period has not closed by 31 December 2021, for the period ending 31 December 2021, a distribution payable to Primewest Securityholders on the Primewest register, as at a future record date to be fixed, and otherwise in the ordinary course and in such amount and timing consistent with past practice.

If for any reason Centuria does not receive any such distribution or entitlement, Centuria will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be entitled, pursuant to section 1(h) of Schedule 1 to the Bid

Implmentation Deed, to reduce the amount of Offer Consideration to which you would otherwise be entitled in accordance with this Centuria Offer by the amount or value (as reasonably determined by Centuria) of the distribution or entitlement. This may involve a reduction in the cash amount and/or the number of Centuria Securities to which you may otherwise be entitled.

3 Offer Period

This Centuria Offer will, unless withdrawn, remain open for acceptance during the period commencing on the date of this Centuria Offer, being 17 May 2021, and ending at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on the later of:

  • 17 June 2021; or

  • any date to which the period of this Centuria Offer is extended in accordance with the Corporations Act

4 Official quotation of Centuria Securities

Centuria has been admitted to the Official List of ASX. Securities of the same class as those to be issued as Offer Consideration have been granted official quotation by ASX. This Centuria Offer and any contract that results from your acceptance of this Centuria Offer are subject to Centuria applying to ASX within seven days after this Bidder's Statement has been sent to Primewest, for the admission of the new Centuria Securities to official quotation in accordance with section 625(3) of the Corporations Act. If quotation is not granted, any contract that results from your acceptance of this Centuria Offer will be automatically void.

Subject to Section 6.4 of Appendix 1, if the contract resulting from your acceptance of this Offer becomes unconditional, Centuria will provide, or procure the provision of, the Offer Consideration to which you are entitled on acceptance of this Offer on or before the later of:

  • a. 5 Business Days after the date this Offer is validly accepted by you; and

  • b. if this Offer is subject to a defeating condition when accepted, within 5 Business Days after this Offer or the contract resulting from your acceptance of this Offer becomes unconditional.

6.3 Payments to Ineligible Foreign Securityholders and Unmarketable Parcel Securityholders

If you are an Ineligible Foreign Securityholder or an Unmarketable Parcel Securityholder, you will not be entitled to receive Centuria Securities as part of the Offer Consideration as a result of accepting the Centuria Offer, and Centuria will:

  • a. arrange for the issue to the Nominee of the number of Centuria Securities to which all Ineligible Foreign Securityholders and all Unmarketable Parcel Securityholders (including you) would have been entitled but for Section 2.2 of Appendix 1. Centuria may arrange for the Centuria Securities to be issued to the Nominee in tranches. Centuria has the sole and complete discretion as to when and in how many tranches to aggregate the Centuria Securities to be issued to the Nominee as a result of acceptances of the Centuria Offer;

  • b. cause the Centuria Securities so issued to be offered for sale by the Nominee (in one or more tranches) on the ASX as soon as practicable and otherwise in the manner, at the price and on such other terms and conditions as are determined by the Nominee, and the Nominee will remit the proceeds of such sale to Centuria; and

  • c. arrange for payment to you of the amount ascertained in accordance with the following formula, being your pro rata share of the proceeds from the Centuria Securities sold in the relevant sale tranche, less brokerage and sale expenses:

(N x YS) / TS

where:

'N' is the amount which is received by the Nominee upon the sale of the Centuria Securities in the relevant tranche under this Section 6.3 of Appendix 1 less brokerage and sale expenses;

'YS' is the number of Centuria Securities which would, but for Section 2.2 of Appendix 1, otherwise have been allotted to you; and

'TS' is the total number of Centuria Securities allotted to the Nominee in the relevant tranche under this Section 6.3 of Appendix 1.

You will be sent your share of the proceeds of the sale of Centuria Securities by Boardroom, as agent for Centuria, in Australian currency, by cheque drawn on an Australian bank or to your bank account (if bank account details are provided on the Acceptance Form).

Payments made by cheque will be posted to you, at your risk, by ordinary mail (or in the case of overseas unitholders, by airmail) at either the address as shown on your Acceptance Form or the address shown on the relevant register within the period required by the Corporations Act.

Under no circumstances will interest be paid on your share of the proceeds of the sale of Centuria Securities by Centuria or the Nominee, regardless of any delay in remitting these proceeds to you.

The Nominee may sell the Centuria Securities in such manner, at such price or prices and on such terms as the Nominee determines, and at the risk of the Ineligible Foreign Securityholders and Unmarketable Parcel Securityholders. The Nominee will sell the Centuria Securities on ASX following the issue of those securities to it and the Nominee has sole and complete discretion with regards to the number of tranches in which to sell the Centuria Securities that are issued to it.

As the market price of Centuria Securities will be subject to change from time to time, the sale price of the Centuria Securities sold by the Nominee and the proceeds of those sales cannot be guaranteed. Neither Centuria nor the Nominee gives any assurance as to the price that will be achieved for the sale of the Centuria Securities by the Nominee.

The Nominee will be appointed by, and will provide the Nominee services to, Centuria. In acting as Nominee, the Nominee will not be acting as agent or sub-agent of any Ineligible Foreign Securityholder or Unmarketable Parcel Securityholder, does not have duties or obligations (fiduciary or otherwise) to any Ineligible Foreign Securityholder or Unmarketable Parcel Securityholder and does not underwrite the sale of the Centuria Securities.

  • a. if the documents are given with your acceptance, Centuria will provide, or procure the provision of, the Offer Consideration in accordance with Sections 6.1 or 6.3 of Appendix 1;

  • b. if the documents are given after acceptance and before the end of the Offer Period and this Centuria Offer is subject to a defeating condition at the time that Centuria is given the documents, Centuria will provide, or procure the provision of, the Offer Consideration by the end of whichever of the following periods ends earlier:

If Centuria becomes entitled to any Rights as a result of your acceptance of this Centuria Offer, it may require you to give Centuria all documents necessary to vest those Rights in Centuria or otherwise to give Centuria the benefit or value of those Rights. If you do not give those documents to Centuria, or if you have received the benefit of those Rights, then Centuria may deduct from the Offer Consideration otherwise due to you the amount (or value, as reasonably assessed by Centuria) of those Rights in accordance with Section 2.5 of Appendix 1.

6.6 Rights generally

If:

  • a. you have (or any previous holder of your Primewest Securities has) received the benefit of any Rights (whether in respect of non-cash benefits or otherwise); or

  • b. you are (or any previous holder of your Primewest Securities is) entitled to receive the benefit of any Rights under the terms that provide for or otherwise apply to those Rights (for example, if the Right is to receive a distribution, if you are (or any previous holder of your Primewest Securities is) the registered holder of the security at the specified time for determining those entitled to the distribution); or

  • c. your Primewest Securities were issued (or otherwise came into existence) on or after the specified time for determining entitlements in respect of any Rights to Primewest Securityholders,

then:

  • d. in the case of Rights to non-cash benefits, Centuria may deduct the value (as reasonably assessed by Centuria) of the Rights from any Offer Consideration otherwise payable to you; or

  • e. in the case of Rights to cash benefits, Centuria may deduct the amount of the Rights from any Offer Consideration otherwise payable to you.

  • If Centuria does not, or cannot, make the deduction, you must pay the value or amount to Centuria.

  • c. the Australian Taxation Office,

then acceptance of this Centuria Offer will not create or transfer to you any right (contractual or contingent) to receive (and you will not be entitled to receive) any consideration under this Centuria Offer unless and until all those consents, authorities or clearances have been obtained by Centuria.
