1. Increase in forecast distributions for Combined Group in FY16

360 CIML now forecasts that ANI Unitholders who accept the TIX Offer and receive TIX Units in the Combined Group[1] will receive distributions of 21.6cpu (or 19.2 cents per equivalent ANI Unit) rather than 21.3cpu per TIX Unit in FY16.

This means that ANI Unitholders will receive:

  • a FY16 distribution of 19.2 cents per equivalent ANI Unit, representing growth of 5.5% on your ANI standalone FY15 distribution guidance; and

  • the same distributions in FY16 in the Combined Group per equivalent ANI Unit as compared to ANI on a stand-alone basis,

whilst also benefiting from the Combined Group's improved earnings and distribution risk profile.

The following information in this section updates and replaces (to the extent necessary) the corresponding information in the Bidder’s Statement regarding the financial information for the Combined Group in FY16 including on pages 2, 6, 9 and section 6.4.5 of the Bidder's Statement.

Improved earnings and distribution risk profile

On the basis that TIX acquires 100% of ANI Units, ANI Unitholders, in the Combined Group:

1 Assuming TIX acquires 100% of ANI

2

  • will participate in the improved earnings and distribution risk profile of the Combined Group, reflecting its improved FY16, FY17 and FY18 lease expiry profile;6 and

  • are forecast to receive a FY16 distribution of 19.2 cents per equivalent ANI Unit, representing growth of 5.5% on your ANI standalone FY15 distribution guidance of 18.2 cents per ANI Unit.

100% Ownership Case

On the basis that TIX acquires 100% of ANI, TIX is now forecasting a Combined Group FY16 distribution of 21.6 cents per TIX Unit or 19.2 cents per equivalent ANI Unit, which is an increase from the 21.3 cents per TIX Unit or 19.0 cents per equivalent ANI Unit, respectively, contained in the Bidder’s Statement.

50.1% Ownership Case

On the basis that TIX acquires 50.1% of ANI, TIX is now forecasting a Combined Group FY16 distribution of 21.6 cents per TIX Unit or 19.2 cents which is an increase from the 21.3 cents per TIX Unit or 19.0 cents per equivalent ANI Unit, respectively, contained in the Bidder’s Statement.

30% Ownership Case

On the basis that TIX acquires 30% of ANI, TIX is now forecasting a Combined Group FY16 distribution of 21.4 cents per TIX Unit or 19.0 cents per equivalent ANI Unit, which is an increase from the 21.1 cents per TIX Unit or 18.8 cents per equivalent ANI Unit, respectively, contained in the Bidder’s Statement.

2. Waiver of all conditions once acceptances exceed 30%

360 CIML announces that it will waive all Conditions to the TIX Offer once the number of ANI Units that are the subject of valid acceptances received under the TIX Offer and acceptance instructions provided to an institutional acceptance facility (which are able to be validly processed once released) exceeds 30% of the ANI Units.

This underlines the confidence which TIX has in the TIX Offer and increases the certainty for ANI Unitholders of receiving the TIX Consideration under the TIX Offer. This statement does not limit the ability of TIX to waive any Conditions at any time.

3. Institutional Acceptance Facility

3.1 General

TIX has established an institutional acceptance facility open to wholesale clients (as defined in section 761G(7) of the Corporations Act)[2] ( Eligible Unitholders ) in order to facilitate receipt of acceptances of the TIX Offer ( Facility ). ANI Unitholders who are not Eligible Unitholders cannot participate in the Facility, however can accept the TIX Offer by following the instructions in the Bidder's Statement.

The Facility has been established to enable Eligible Unitholders to indicate their intentions to accept the TIX Offer.

360 CIML recognises that some Eligible Unitholders may not wish to accept the TIX Offer until it is unconditional. Accordingly, the Facility allows the Eligible Unitholders to instead indicate their intention to accept the TIX Offer, and enables 360 CIML to declare the TIX Offer unconditional once it is assured, by having received acceptance instructions into the Facility, that it will have acceptances of the TIX Offer in respect of more than 30% of the ANI Units.

The acceptance facility collection agent for the Facility is Moelis Australia Advisory Pty Limited (AFSL 345499) ( Facility Agent ).

3.2

Operation of the Facility

In summary, the Facility will operate in the following way:

  • (a) Eligible Unitholders may lodge acceptance instructions with the Facility Agent, in the form of either:

  • (i) duly completed Acceptance Forms in respect of their ANI Units; and/or

  • (ii) where an Eligible Unitholder holds ANI Units as custodian for another person (the Beneficial Holder ), a direction from the Beneficial Holder to the Eligible Unitholder to accept the TIX Offer ( Custodian Direction ),

(together, Acceptance Instructions ) that demonstrate their intention to accept the TIX Offer.

  • (b) The Facility Agent will hold the Acceptance Instructions as acceptance facility collection agent only (being no more than a bare trustee for the relevant Eligible Unitholders) and will not acquire a relevant interest in any of the ANI Units the subject of the Acceptance Instructions.

  • (c) TIX may provide a written notice to the Facility Agent ( Confirmation Notice ) which confirms that either:

2 Provided that the Facility Agent must be satisfied, in its absolute discretion, that a person is a wholesale client for the person to be an Eligible Unitholder.

4

  • (i) TIX will declare the TIX Offer unconditional no later than the time that all delivered Acceptance Instructions are processed; or

  • (ii) TIX has declared the TIX Offer unconditional.

  • (d) The delivery of the Confirmation Notice will be at TIX's discretion.

  • (e) As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt by the Facility Agent of a Confirmation Notice, the Facility Agent must deliver (or procure the delivery of):

  • (i) the Acceptance Forms in accordance with the instructions on the relevant Acceptance Forms; and/or

  • (ii) the Custodian Directions to the relevant custodian.

  • (f) Eligible Unitholders are able to withdraw their Acceptance Instructions at any time prior to the Facility Agent receiving the Confirmation Notice from TIX.

  • (g) If the Facility Agent does not receive a Confirmation Notice from TIX by the end of the Offer Period, the Facility Agent will promptly following the end of the Offer Period, return, or procure the return, of all Acceptance Instructions.

A copy of the appointment of the Facility Agent along with the full terms of the Facility ( Facility Documents ) will be provided to Eligible Unitholders and may also be requested from the Facility Agent by email [email protected] or by phone on the TIX Offer Information Line on 1800 247 697 (callers within Australia) and +61 2 8024 1189 (callers outside Australia).

The above summary is subject to the terms of the Facility set out in the Facility Documents.

3.3 Disclosure of Acceptance Instructions

Before 8.30am (Sydney time) on each Business Day, the Facility Agent will inform TIX of the number of ANI Units in respect of which Acceptance Instructions have been received as at 7.30pm (Sydney time) on the previous Business Day.

Following receipt of this information from the Facility Agent, TIX will disclose this information to ASX by 9.30am (Sydney time) on the Business Day following any movement of at least 1% in the aggregate of the number of ANI Units subject to the Facility and the number of ANI Units in which TIX has a relevant interest, together with a breakdown of the aggregate amount between those two categories.

3.4 Consent

The Facility Agent has given, and has not at the date of this Second Supplementary Bidder's Statement withdrawn, its written consent to being named in this Second Supplementary Bidder's Statement.

4. Approval

This Second Supplementary Bidder's Statement has been approved by a unanimous resolution of the directors of TIX.
