Results of ANI Unitholder Meeting

A meeting of ANI Unitholders was held on 25 May 2015 in which ANI Unitholders were asked to consider the removal of Fife Capital Funds Limited as Responsible Entity of ANI and replacing it with 360 Capital ANI Management Limited (360CAML). The results of the meeting were as follows:

Votes For: 40.2%

Votes Against: 59.8%

We note that of the 59.8% units which were voted against the resolutions, approximately 21% were cast by entities associated with ANI’s appointed corporate advisors who are receiving substantial fees (in excess of $4.4m in total) for services to ANI including in the defence of the TIX Offer. Accordingly, ANI's statement in respect of the results of the meeting was misleading.

WHY SHOULD YOU ACCEPT NOW

ACCEPT TIX OFFER[1] :

Your FY16 distribution will increase to 19.4cpu

You may also receive an additional 10.0cpu from TGP if the TIX Offer is successful[2]

STAY WITH ANI:

Your FY16 distribution will only be 19.2cpu

ANI ongoing distributions are at risk

“TIX owns approximately 31% of ANI – our goal has been and remains to merge TIX and ANI to create value for all Unitholders.”

If you become a TIX Investor:

  • TIX has increased its FY15 earnings and distributions

  • TIX continues to focus on growing distributions, which have increased at average of 9.6% per annum over past four years

  • TIX Offer for ANI is earnings, distribution and NTA accretive for ANI Unitholders

  • TIX’s modern portfolio will provide Unitholders with continued outperformance with a fully aligned manager focused on creating unitholder value, not increasing management fees

  • TIX owns approximately 31.0% of ANI and is aligned with fellow ANI Unitholders

If you stay with ANI:

  • We expect Fife Funds to undertake a dilutive capital raising to protect its management fees at the expense of ANI Unitholder value – it has already appointed capital market advisors

  • ANI distributions are at significant risk and may not be sustainable post FY16 as a result of lease expiry in over 50% of the portfolio shortly thereafter

  • Fife Funds has already committed to spend a significant amount of ANI s 2015 profits on advisors to defend its management rights - $4.4million (5.0 cents per Unit) – How much more of your investment will Fife Funds spend to defend its management fees?

  • To meet ANI’s June distribution, Fife Funds will need to draw down debt, increasing ANI borrowings

  • Votes cast by persons associated with Fife's advisors (who are paid out of your investment and who stand to receive substantial fees if the TIX Offer is unsuccessful) accounted for 21% of votes against 360 Capital’s proposal to change ANI’s manager

  • 40.2% of Units were voted in favour of 360 Capital becoming ANI’s manager and the proposed 50% reduction in management fees

  • If the TIX Offer lapses, ANI’s Unit price is likely to fall

  • ANI has become illiquid and may be removed from the S&P/ASX300 Index

  • 1: Amounts based on announced distribution guidance for TIX (ANI equivalent Unit basis) and ANI.

  • 2: The cash payment is subject to satisfaction of the Cash Payment Condition which includes where 50% of the ANI units are accepted into the TIX Offer.
