Dear Unitholder
Centuria Office REIT (ASX: COF) Entitlement Offer – Notification to Ineligible Retail Unitholders
On 6 September 2021, Centuria Property Funds Limited ( CPFL ) as responsible entity of the Centuria Office REIT ( COF ) announced a fully underwritten 1 for 6.4 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer of new COF units ( New Units ) at an offer price of $2.50 per New Unit ( Issue Price ) to raise approximately $201 million ( Entitlement Offer ).
This letter is to inform you about the Entitlement Offer and to explain why you will not be able to subscribe for New Units under the Entitlement Offer. This letter is not an offer to issue New Units to you, nor an invitation for you to apply for New Units. You are not required to do anything in response to this letter but there may be financial implications for you as a result of the Entitlement Offer that you should be aware of.
DETAILS OF THE ENTITLEMENT OFFER
The Entitlement Offer is underwritten and comprises an institutional entitlement offer ( Institutional Entitlement Offer ) and an offer to Eligible Retail Unitholders (as defined below) ( Retail Entitlement Offer ).
The proceeds of the Entitlement Offer will be used:
-
to partially fund the acquisition of a 100% freehold interest in the land and building at 101 Moray Street, South Melbourne, Victoria for a purchase price of $205.1 million; and
-
to partially fund the acquisition of the remaining 50% leasehold interest in the land and building at 203 Pacific Highway, St Leonards, NSW for a purchase price of $68 million.
The Retail Entitlement Offer is being made to Eligible Retail Unitholders (as defined below) on the basis of 1 New Unit for every 6.4 existing units held at 5.00pm (Sydney time) on 8 September 2021 ( Record Date ), at the Issue Price per New Unit.
The Entitlement Offer is being made by COF in accordance with section 1012DAA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) (as modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 ), meaning that no product disclosure statement needs to be prepared with respect to the Entitlement Offer.
MA Moelis Australia Advisory Pty Ltd and Morgan Stanley Australia Securities Limited (together, the Underwriters ) are acting as joint lead managers and underwriters to the Entitlement Offer.
Documents relating to the Retail Entitlement Offer were announced to the ASX on 13 September 2021 and are expected to be despatched to Eligible Retail Unitholders on 13 September 2021.
Eligibility to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer
CPFL has determined, pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.7.1(a) and section 9A(3)(a) of the Corporations Act, that it would be unreasonable to make offers to unitholders in countries other than Australia and New Zealand in connection with the Retail Entitlement Offer having regard to:

-
(a) the relatively small number of unitholders in the other jurisdictions where the Retail Entitlement Offer would be made;
-
(b) the number and value of units for which such unitholders would otherwise have been entitled; and
-
(c) the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements in each other jurisdiction where the Retail Entitlement Offer would be made.
An Eligible Retail Unitholder is a unitholder who:
-
(a) was a registered holder of units as at 5.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date;
-
(b) has a registered address in Australia or New Zealand;
-
(c) is not in the United States and is not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent such person holds units in COF for the account or benefit of such person in the United States);
-
(d) is not an institutional unitholder eligible to participate under the Institutional Entitlement Offer (other than a nominee to the extent that the nominee holds units on behalf of an Eligible Retail Unitholder), and was not treated as an ineligible institutional unitholder under the Institutional Entitlement Offer; and
-
(e) is eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Entitlement Offer.
Unfortunately, according to our records you do not satisfy the criteria for an Eligible Retail Unitholder, and therefore CPFL is unable to extend to you the opportunity to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer. If our records are incorrect on this matter, please contact COF's Offer Information Line using the details below.
Determination of eligibility of investors for the purposes of the Retail Entitlement Offer is by reference to a number of matters, including the legal requirements and the discretion of CPFL and the Underwriters. CPFL, the Underwriters and their respective affiliates and related bodies corporate and each of their directors, officers, partners, employees, advisers and agents disclaim any liability in respect of any determination as to eligibility, to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Treatment Of Ineligible Retail Unitholders
As the Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, you will not receive any payment or value for entitlements in respect of any New Stapled Units that would have been offered to you if you were eligible.
Further information
You do not need to respond to this letter. If you have questions in relation to any of the matters described above, please contact COF's Offer Information Line on 1800 182 257 (from within Australia) or +61 2 9290 9689 (from outside Australia) between 8.30am to 5.00pm (Sydney time), Monday to Friday during the Retail Entitlement Offer period (13 September 2021 to 22 September 2021).
