ASX/Media Announcement
12 November 2018
Propertylink enters into a binding Bid Implementation Agreement with ESR
ENTRY INTO A BID IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT WITH ESR
Propertylink Group (ASX:PLG) (Propertylink) today announces that it has entered into a binding Bid Implementation Agreement (BIA) with ESR Real Estate (Australia) Pty Ltd (ESR) in relation to ESR's proposal to acquire all Propertylink securities which it or an associate does not already own by way of an agreed off-market takeover bid for cash consideration of \$1.201 per security (Offer).
The execution of the BIA follows Propertylink's entry into a Process Deed with ESR, which was announced to ASX on 16 October 2018. Under that Process Deed, ESR was granted a period to conduct confirmatory due diligence which it has now completed.
The terms of the Offer are consistent with those announced in the Process Deed and have been summarised in this announcement.
SUMMARY OF THE OFFER
The Offer is to acquire all of the Propertylink securities which ESR does not already own for cash consideration of \$1.201 per security, by way of an agreed off-market takeover bid.
The Offer price of \$1.201 represents a:
- 14.3% premium to the closing price of Propertylink securities at 20 September 2018 of \$1.05, being the day prior to the announcement of ESR's initial proposal to acquire Propertylink;
- 15.2% premium to the 6 month VWAP of Propertylink securities to 20 September 2018 of \$1.04;
- 15.4% premium to Propertylink's reported NTA per security as at 30 June 2018 of \$1.04;
- 11.7% premium to Propertylink's pro forma 30 June 2018 NTA of \$1.07 per security2 (refer to Appendix A for detail on pro forma adjustments); and
- 4.3% increment to ESR's initial proposal price of \$1.15.
1 The Offer price will be reduced by the cash amount of any dividends or distributions that Propertylink securityholders receive or become entitled to receive. All references to the Offer consideration in this announcement are to the Offer consideration subject to any such reduction.
2 Post the independent valuation of Propertylink's wholly owned industrial portfolio and co-investments as announced to ASX on 30 October 2018, which resulted in an increase in Propertylink's NTA of 6.6 cents per security and post payment of Propertylink's 2H FY18 distribution of 3.7 cents per security resulting in pro forma 30 June 2018 NTA of \$1.07 per security.

CONDITIONS OF THE OFFER
The Offer is conditional upon a number of matters set out in the BIA, including minimum acceptance of at least 50.1% of all Propertylink securities (on a fully diluted basis), no material adverse change, no prescribed occurrences, no regulatory action or material acquisitions, disposals, capital expenditure or change in the conduct of business, amongst other conditions. ESR has confirmed that it has received notification from FIRB that the Australian Government has no objection to the Offer in terms of its foreign investment policy and the Offer is therefore not conditional on obtaining foreign investment approval.
At any time during the Offer period, ESR may choose to waive any one or all of the conditions of the Offer, declare the Offer unconditional and / or extend the Offer Period.
UNANIMOUS RECOMMENDATION OF THE DIRECTORS
The Propertylink board of directors (Directors) unanimously recommend that Propertylink securityholders ACCEPT the Offer, in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to an independent expert opining that the Offer is fair and reasonable to Propertylink securityholders not associated with ESR.
In addition, each of the Directors intends to accept the Offer in respect of all Propertylink securities they own or control, in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to an independent expert opining that the Offer is fair and reasonable to Propertylink securityholders not associated with ESR.
Propertylink's Chairman, Peter Lancken, said "the Directors of Propertylink are pleased to have entered into a binding Bid Implementation Agreement with ESR. ESR's Offer provides Propertylink securityholders an opportunity to realise certain value for their Propertylink securities, at an attractive premium to Propertylink's trading price prior to the receipt of ESR's initial proposal and NTA."
INDEPENDENT EXPERT
Propertylink has appointed KPMG Corporate Finance as the independent expert to prepare a report opining on whether the Offer is fair and reasonable to Propertylink securityholders not associated with ESR. The independent expert's report will be included in the target's statement to be dispatched to all Propertylink securityholders.
OVERVIEW OF THE BIA
The BIA sets out the manner in which Propertylink and ESR have agreed to cooperate with each other in relation to the Offer. The BIA extends ESR's exclusivity until the end of the Offer period and includes provisions customary for a transaction of this nature including no shop, no talk, notification and matching rights, subject to appropriate exceptions. The BIA includes provision for payment of a reimbursement fee of \$7.2 million to ESR in certain circumstances.

(2) must use reasonable endeavours to procure that none of its directors change their recommendation in favour of the Takeover Bid, publicly recommend a Competing Proposal (or recommend against the Takeover Bid) or make any public statement to the effect that they may do so at a future point (provided that a statement that no action should be taken by Propertylink Securityholders pending the assessment of a Competing Proposal by the Propertylink Boards and its advisers shall not contravene this clause),
unless:
- (3) the Propertylink Boards, acting in good faith and in order to satisfy what the Propertylink Directors consider to be their statutory or fiduciary duties (having received written legal advice from their external legal adviser), determine that the Competing Proposal would be or would be reasonably likely to be a Superior Proposal;

- (1) constituted, or constitutes, or would constitute, a breach of the fiduciary or statutory duties of the Propertylink Boards;
- (2) constituted, or constitutes, or would constitute, 'unacceptable circumstances' within the meaning of the Corporations Act; or

- unless:
- (4) the Independent Expert concludes in the Independent Expert's Report (or any update of, or revision, amendment or supplement to, that report) that the Takeover Bid is not fair and reasonable (except where that conclusion is due wholly or partly to the existence, announcement or publication of a Competing Proposal);
