Important Notice and Disclaimer

This Booklet offers Eligible Unitholders the opportunity to purchase up to $30,000 of fully paid, ordinary units in Centuria Metropolitan REIT (ARSN 124 364 718) ( CMA ) under a unit purchase plan ( UPP ).

This Booklet does not provide financial advice and has been prepared without taking into account the individual investment objectives, financial situation or needs of any investor. You should read this Booklet in its entirety and seek independent financial and taxation advice before making a decision to participate in the UPP.

The offer of New Units under the UPP is made in accordance with ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 which grants relief from the requirement for Centuria Property Funds Limited ( CPFL ) as Responsible Entity of CMA to provide a product disclosure statement in relation to the UPP. This Booklet is not a product disclosure statement or a prospectus under the Corporations Act.

The laws of some countries prohibit or make impracticable participation in the UPP by certain overseas Unitholders. CPFL has determined that it is not practical to permit Unitholders who are not resident in Australia or New Zealand to participate in the UPP. Accordingly, Unitholders who are not resident in Australia or New Zealand will not be able to participate in the UPP. The UPP does not constitute an offer of New Units for sale in any other jurisdictions.

New Zealand

The New Units are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Unitholders at the Record Date (and who continue to hold Units from the Record Date to the Opening Date) with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of New Units is being made in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2016 (New Zealand).

This Booklet has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (New Zealand). This Booklet is not a product disclosure statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that a product disclosure statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.

United States

This Booklet may not be released or distributed in the United States. The New Units have not been, and will not be, registered under the US Securities Act of 1933 ( US Securities Act ) or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. The New Units may not be offered, sold or otherwise transferred in the United States except in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the US Securities Act and the applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction in the United States.

CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

16 December 2019

Dear Unitholder

On behalf of the Board of Directors of CPFL as responsible entity of CMA, I am pleased to offer Eligible Unitholders an opportunity to participate in CMA's unit purchase plan ( UPP ), which was announced to the ASX on 10 December 2019 in conjunction with a placement of fully paid ordinary units to institutional investors ( Placement ).

Under the UPP, Eligible Unitholders have the opportunity to subscribe for up to $30,000 of fully paid, ordinary units in CMA ( New Units ) at an issue price of $2.9555 per New Unit (being the same price paid by institutional investors in the Placement), without incurring any brokerage costs or other transactions costs.

The issue price of New Units under the UPP will be $2.9555 per New Unit, which represents a discount of 4.7% to the distribution-adjusted volume weighted average price of Units traded during the five ASX trading days prior to and including the Record Date[1] .

Use of proceeds

As announced to the ASX on 11 December 2019, CPFL successfully raised $185 million under the Placement. Proceeds from the Placement and existing debt facilities will be used to fund the acquisition of the land and building at 2 Philip Law Street, Canberra, ACT. CPFL intends to use the proceeds from the UPP to retire CMA debt.

Further details on the Placement and a summary of some of the key risks of an investment in CMA are set out in the investor presentation lodged with the ASX on 10 December 2019.

Details of the offer under the UPP

The UPP is not underwritten and the total amount to be raised under the UPP is subject to a cap of $10 million. CPFL reserves the right to scale-back applications in its absolute discretion and it may, in its absolute discretion, increase the cap in order to reduce or prevent the need for a scale-back should total demand under the UPP exceed $10 million. In the event of a scale-back, you may be allocated New Units to a value which is less than the parcel which you applied for and the difference will be refunded to you without interest.

The New Units issued under the UPP will rank equally with existing CMA units quoted on the ASX. The New Units will be issued after the record date for CMA's quarterly distribution for December 2019 and hence will not be entitled to the December 2019 quarterly distribution amount. Participation in the UPP is optional and is open to Eligible Unitholders, being holders of fully paid ordinary CMA units as at 7:00pm (AEDT) on 9 December 2019 with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand and who meet certain other conditions set out in this Booklet.

Your right to participate in the UPP is not transferrable.

How to apply

If you are an Eligible Unitholder and wish to participate in the UPP, you may apply to purchase New Units with a minimum application amount of $3,000 and any additional New Units in increments of $1,000, with a maximum application amount of $30,000.

You can apply for New Units by either:

  • completing the enclosed Application Form as instructed and returning it to the address indicated in the form, together with your payment; or

  • making payment directly to BPAY. If you make your application by BPAY, you do not need to return the Application Form.

1 The December 2019 quarter distribution of 4.45 cents per Unit has been deducted from the 5 day volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) of $3.147 per Unit to give a distribution-adjusted 5 day VWAP of $3.1025 per Unit.

Your application and payment must be received by 5.00pm (AEDT) on 14 January 2020 ( Closing Date ).

UPP Terms and Conditions

Important Notice:

You should read these Terms and Conditions carefully as you will be bound by them if you participate in the UPP.

If you participate in the UPP by completing and returning the Application Form or by making a payment by BPAY, you are accepting the risk that the market price of Units may change between the date of the Offer, the date you apply for New Units and the issue of New Units to you. The value of the New Units that you apply for is likely to rise or fall. Importantly, there is a risk that during the period between when you apply for New Units and when the New Units are issued to you, you may be able to buy Units on the ASX at a lower price than the UPP Issue Price. After the issue of the New Units to you, the value of these New Units will fluctuate over time and there is no guarantee that their value will not fall below the UPP Issue Price.

6. Issue price of New Units under the UPP

  • 6.1 The issue price per New Unit under the UPP will be $2.9555 ( UPP Issue Price ), being the issue price paid by institutional investors under the Placement adjusted for the 31 December 2019 distribution of 4.45 cents per Unit. The UPP Issue Price of $2.9555 per New Unit represents a discount of 4.7% to the distribution-adjusted volume weighted average price of Units traded during the five ASX trading days prior to and including the Record Date.[2]

  • 6.2 The current Unit price can be obtained from the ASX and is listed in the financial and business section of major daily newspapers circulating in Australia.

  • 6.3 You agree to pay the UPP Issue Price per New Unit for the number of New Units that are allocated to you in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

7. Number of New Units to be issued

  • 7.1 If you apply for New Units, you will apply for a certain value, rather than a certain number of New Units. If your application is accepted, CPFL will divide the value of your application monies by the UPP Issue Price (as specified in clause 6) in order to determine the number of New Units which, subject to Scale-back, will be issued to you.

  • 7.2 If this calculation produces a fraction number, the number of New Units you are issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Units (refer to clause 10 for information on rounding in the event of a Scale-back).

8. The New Units

  • 8.1 New Units will be issued on the Issue Date.

  • 8.2 New Units issued under the UPP will rank equally in all respects with existing Units quoted on the ASX, with the same voting rights, distribution rights and other entitlements from issue.

  • 8.3 New Units will not be eligible for the December 2019 quarterly distribution of 4.45 cents per Unit.

  • 8.4 CPFL will apply for the New Units issued under the UPP to be quoted on ASX.

9. Costs of participation

  • 9.1 No brokerage or other transaction costs will apply to the application for, and issue of, New Units under the UPP.

( VWAP ) of $3.147 per Unit to give a distribution-adjusted 5 day VWAP of $3.1025 per Unit.

UPP Terms and Conditions

manner that it sees fit ( Scale-back ).

  • 10.2 If a Scale-back occurs, you may receive less than the parcel of New Units for which you have applied.

  • 10.3 If a Scale-back produces a fractional number of Units when applied to your issue of New Units, the number of New Units you will be allocated will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Units.

  • 10.4 If there is a Scale-back, your application monies may be greater than the value of the New Units you will be issued. In such event, the excess application monies will be refunded to you without interest by direct credit (to your nominated account as recorded on the Register) or cheque as soon as practicable.

11. Risks

  • 11.1 There is a risk that the market price of Units may change between the date of the Offer, the date you apply for New Units and the issue of New Units to you. Accordingly, the value of the New Units that you apply for is likely to rise or fall. Importantly, there is a risk that during the period between when you apply for New Units and when the New Units are issued to you, you may be able to buy Units on the ASX at a lower price than the UPP Issue Price. After the issue of the New Units to you, the value of these New Units will fluctuate over time and there is no guarantee that their value will not fall below the UPP Issue Price.

  • 11.2 This document is not a product disclosure statement and has not been lodged with ASIC. This document does not contain the types of disclosure required to be contained in a product disclosure statement. You must rely on previous disclosures made by CMA to the ASX and consult your professional financial and tax advisers before making a decision to participate in the UPP.
