3.3 Change of name on the Responsible Entity's retirement or removal

If the Responsible Entity retires or is removed and the name of the Scheme implies an association with the Responsible Entity or its business, the new responsible entity must, unless otherwise approved by the Responsible Entity, change the Scheme's name to a name that does not imply the association within 7 days after the Responsible Entity retires or is removed and withdraw any current offer document.

4. SCHEME PROPERTY

4.1

Scheme Property held for Members

The Responsible Entity is the Responsible Entity of the Scheme. The Responsible Entity holds the Scheme Property on trust for the Members.

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

4.2 Holding of Scheme Property

All Scheme Property must be held:

  • (a) by the Responsible Entity; or

  • (b) if required by law or if the Responsible Entity thinks it necessary or appropriate, by a custodian or nominee appointed by the Responsible Entity.

4.3 Custodian or nominee holding Scheme Property

A custodian or nominee must hold the Scheme Property either:

  • (a) directly in its name; or

  • (b) indirectly by any asset title, transfer or holding system approved by the Responsible Entity.

  • 4.4

Scheme Property to be identified and held separately

The Responsible Entity, its custodians and nominees must clearly identify Scheme Property which the Responsible Entity holds as property of the Scheme.

5. UNITS

5.1 Scheme Property divided into Units

The beneficial interest in the Scheme Property is divided into Units.

5.2 Nature of Member's interest in Scheme Property

  • (a) Subject to the rights attached to a class of Units, each Unit confers on a Member an equal undivided interest in the Scheme Property.

  • (b) A Unit confers on a Member an interest in the Scheme Property as a whole. It does not confer on a Member an interest in any particular Scheme Property.

5.3

Rights attached to Units

Subject to the rights attached to a class of Units, all Units have the same rights attached to them. However, the Responsible Entity may determine that Units of the same class be issued with different rights or different terms, for example, that a Unit issued during a Distribution Period may participate in distributions of income for that Distribution Period on a preferential basis or pro rata based on the part of that Distribution Period for which it was on issue.

5.4

Consolidation, division and reclassification of Units

The Responsible Entity may consolidate, divide or reclassify Units, as it thinks fit.

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

5.5 Classes of Units

The Responsible Entity may:

  • (a) issue different classes of Units; or

  • (b) divide issued Units into different classes.

The Responsible Entity must determine the rights attached to a class of Units when it issues a Unit in the class or divides issued Units into different classes. For example, the Responsible Entity may determine that Units will have different rights to participate in distributions of income or capital of the Scheme. Such rights will prevail over the provisions of this document to the extent of any inconsistency.

5.6

No fractions of Units

The Responsible Entity cannot issue a fraction of a Unit.

5.7

Rounding

Where any calculation done in accordance with this document or the Corporations Act would otherwise result in the issue or redemption of a fraction of a Unit or a consolidation or division of Units would otherwise result in the creation of a fraction of a Unit:

  • (a) the number of Units to be issued or redeemed or resulting from the consolidation or division in respect of a holding may be rounded down or up as the Responsible Entity determines to the nearest whole number; and

  • (b) the excess Application Money or other property which results from rounding on an issue or redemption becomes Scheme Property.

6. ISSUING UNITS AND ISSUE PRICE

6.1 Responsible Entity may issue Units

The Responsible Entity may issue a Unit on application, on exercise of an option granted by the Responsible Entity for the acquisition of Units, or under an arrangement to reinvest distributions to acquire Units.

6.2 Issue Price

Subject to clause 6.9 and the Stapling Provisions, a Unit may only be issued at its Issue Price, which is:

  • (a) for issues made pursuant to the offer of Units set out in the first product disclosure statement for the Scheme issued after 1 January 2007, the greater of $0.50 and the Unit Value as at the time of issue of the Unit plus the Issue Provision;

  • (b) in the case of a proportionate offer (including a rights issue), in accordance with clause 6.4;

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

  1. (c) in the case of a placement of Units or issue of Units under a security purchase plan while Units are Officially Quoted, in accordance with clause 6.6;

  2. (d) in the case of a reinvestment of distributions, in accordance with clauses 6.7 and 6.8;

  3. (e) in the case of Units issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option, in accordance with clause 6.10;

  4. (f) subject to paragraphs (b) to (e), in all other circumstances while Units are Officially Quoted, the Market Price of Units immediately before the date on which or as at which the Issue Price is to be calculated; and

  5. (g) in all other circumstances while Units are not Officially Quoted, the Unit Value as at the time of issue of the Unit plus the Issue Provision.

In this clause, Issue Provision means at any time, an amount (if any) which the Responsible Entity determines on account of all Expenses which may be incurred or are expected to be incurred by the Responsible Entity if the Scheme was established, Units were issued and all Scheme Property held at that time were to be acquired at that time. If the Responsible Entity considers it appropriate, it may determine the Issue Provision to be a lesser sum or zero.

6.3

Rounding of Issue Price

The Issue Price may be rounded up or down as the Responsible Entity thinks fit.

  • 6.4

Pro rata rights issues

Subject to the terms of any applicable ASIC Instrument and the Listing Rules, the Responsible Entity may offer Units for subscription at a price determined by the Responsible Entity to those persons who were Members on a date determined by the Responsible Entity:

  • (a) provided that, subject to clause 6.4(b), all Members are offered Units in proportion to the value of the Member's Units (or, where the offer is made only to Members who hold Units in a particular class of Units, to the value of the Member's Units in that class) at the relevant date; but

  • (b) the Responsible Entity may exclude a Member from the pro rata offer if to do so would not be in contravention of paragraph 601FC(1)(d) of the Corporations Act, as modified by ASIC Instrument,

whether or not the right of entitlement is renounceable.

6.5

Terms of pro rata issues

  • (a) Any offer made under clause 6.4 must specify the period during which it may be accepted. It must be made to Members in proportion to the value of their respective Unit holdings on the date determined by the Responsible Entity under clause 6.4. The Responsible Entity may adjust any entitlement

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

to accord with the Listing Rules and, in the case of fractions, the Responsible Entity must offer the next higher whole number of Units. Any Member may renounce their entitlement in favour of some other person, unless the issue is expressed to be non-renounceable.

  • (b) Any Units offered for subscription under clause 6.4 which are not subscribed for within the period of acceptance set by the Responsible Entity may be offered for subscription by the Responsible Entity to any person. The Issue Price payable in relation to such further offer must not be less than that at which the Units were originally offered to Members.

  • (c) If an underwriter has underwritten any offer for subscription of Units under clause 6.4, the underwriter may take up any Units not subscribed for by Members.

6.6 Placements and security purchase plan while listed

While Units in a class of Units are Officially Quoted and not suspended from quotation, the Responsible Entity may at any time issue Units in that class by way of a placement or under a security purchase plan at a price and on terms determined by the Responsible Entity, provided that the Responsible Entity complies with the Listing Rules applicable to the issue and the conditions and restrictions of any applicable ASIC Instrument.

6.7 Reinvestment while listed

If reinvestment of distributions payable to a Member under clause 11.8 applies while the Units are Officially Quoted, subject to the Listing Rules, the Responsible Entity may issue Units on the basis that the Issue Price for each additional Unit issued or transferred upon reinvestment is the price determined by the Responsible Entity. If the Responsible Entity has not determined the Issue Price by the date at which Units are to be issued upon reinvestment, the Issue Price will be the average of the VWAP for Units for each of the 10 Trading Days from and including the third Trading Day after the Distribution Date for the relevant Distribution Period.

6.8 Reinvestment while not listed

While Units are not Officially Quoted, the Responsible Entity may issue Units on the basis that the Issue Price payable for each additional Unit on reinvestment of distributions payable to a Member under clause 11.8 is the price determined by the Responsible Entity. If the Responsible Entity has not determined the Issue Price by the date at which Units are to be issued upon reinvestment, the Issue Price will be as calculated under clause 6.2(g) on the first Business Day after the end of the Distribution Period to which the distribution relates.

6.9

Partly paid units

The Responsible Entity may issue partly paid Units on such terms, including terms as to entitlement to participate in distributions of income or capital, as the Responsible Entity may determine.

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

6.10 Options

  • (a) Subject to the Listing Rules and any applicable ASIC Instrument, the Responsible Entity may grant options, on terms that no consideration is paid for the grant of the option and on such other terms as the Responsible Entity determines, to acquire Units by issue on such issue terms as the Responsible Entity determines and on the basis that the exercise price for a Unit to be issued on exercise of the option is the price determined by the Responsible Entity in the case of an offer which complies with the Listing Rules and any applicable ASIC Instrument and the principles in clause 6.4, and otherwise as determined under clauses 6.2(f) or 6.2(g) (as applicable).

  • (b) If the Scheme is a registered scheme and the Responsible Entity is making an offer of options which complies with the principles set out in clause 6.4, the Responsible Entity is not required to offer options to persons whose address on the Register is outside Australia in the circumstances permitted under the applicable ASIC Instrument and the Listing Rules.

7. APPLICATION PROCEDURE

7.1 Form of application

An application for Units must be in such form as the Responsible Entity determines. The Responsible Entity may determine that such application need not be in writing.

7.2

Deciding applications

The Responsible Entity may reject all or part of an application for Units without giving a reason for doing so.

7.3 What happens to rejected applications

If the Responsible Entity rejects an application for Units, it must:

  • (a) give the applicant written notice of the rejection; and

  • (b) cause an amount equal to the Application Money (less any Taxes and bank fees in connection with the application) to be paid back to the applicant.

7.4 Application Money

Application Money must be:

  • (a) Cash; or

  • (b) at the discretion of the Responsible Entity and subject to any conditions it imposes, an asset (other than Cash) or a combination of that and Cash,

and in the case of paragraph (b):

  • (c) the contribution is taken to be the value of the asset as determined by a Valuer;

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

  1. (d) the application for Units cannot be accepted unless the asset is vested in the Responsible Entity or its custodian; and

  2. (e) any costs associated with the valuation and vesting of the asset are payable or can be reimbursed out of the Scheme Property.

7.5

Number of Units to be issued

The number of Units to be issued on an application for Units is worked out as follows:

Application Money Issue Price

  • 7.6 Default in payment of Application Money

If:

  • (a) a cheque or similar instrument used to pay the Application Money is dishonoured on first presentation; or

  • (b) an electronic transfer of funds to pay the Application Money is not actually received by the Responsible Entity,

the payment is taken never to have been made and any issue of Units against the Application Money is void.

7.7 When Units are issued

A Unit is taken to be issued when the name of the person to whom it is issued is entered in the Register as the holder of the Unit.

8. VALUING SCHEME PROPERTY

8.1 Valuation roll to be kept

The Responsible Entity must set up and keep a valuation roll which records the value of the Scheme Property.

8.2 When the Scheme Property is to be valued

The Responsible Entity:

  • (a) may have the Scheme Property valued by a Valuer at any time; and

  • (b) must have it done at regular intervals appropriate to the nature of the Scheme Property.

8.3

Method for valuing Scheme Property

The value of the Scheme Property for working out Scheme Value is its market value, unless the Responsible Entity in consultation with the Scheme auditor:

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

  1. (a) thinks it an inappropriate way of valuing particular Scheme Property; and

  2. (b) determines another way of valuing that Scheme Property.

8.4 Adjustments to Scheme Value and Net Scheme Value

In determining the Scheme Value and the Net Scheme Value, the Responsible Entity may make such incremental and decremental adjustments and provisions as it reasonably determines in consultation with the Scheme Auditor.

9. SCHEME VALUES

  • 9.1 When the Scheme Value and Net Scheme Value is to be worked out

The Responsible Entity:

  • (a) must work out the Scheme Value and the Net Scheme Value each time it is necessary to do so; and

  • (b) may work them out at any other times it thinks fit, including more than once a day.

9.2 Effect of determination

The Responsible Entity's determination of a Scheme Value or Net Scheme Value binds all the Members.

10. PAYING LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES

The Responsible Entity may determine whether Liabilities and expenses of the Scheme for a Distribution Period are to be paid out of the income of the Scheme for that Distribution Period or out of the balance of the Scheme Property.

11. DISTRIBUTIONS

11.1 Working out distributable income

  • (a) The Responsible Entity must work out the distributable income of the Scheme for each Distribution Period in its absolute discretion.

  • (b) If no determination is made under clause 11.1(a) in respect of a Distribution Period before the end of that Distribution Period, the distributable income for that Distribution Period is equal to the Operating Income for that Distribution Period provided that if the Operating Income is less than the amount which if distributed in cash to Members for the Distribution Period would prevent the Responsible Entity being liable to tax on the income of the Scheme under section 99 or section 99A of the Tax Act for the Financial Year, the distributable income is the minimum amount to ensure the Responsible Entity is not liable to tax.

  • (c) The preparation of the accounts of the Scheme in accordance with current Australian accounting standards and generally accepted accounting

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

principles is not to be regarded as a determination of the method for calculating the distributable income under this clause.

11.2 Working out Member's Distribution Amount

Subject to clause 14.5 and the rights attached to any particular Unit, a Member's Distribution Amount for a Distribution Period is the amount worked out by the Responsible Entity using the formula:

distributable income of the Scheme for the Distribution Period X [Number of Units the Member holds] Units in Issue

where the number of Units the Member holds, and the Units in Issue, are worked out as at 5:00pm (local time in the place where the Register is kept) on the Distribution Date.

11.3 Member's present entitlement to Distribution Amount

Subject to clause 14.5 and the rights attached to any particular Unit, each person who is a Member at 5:00pm (local time in the place where the Register is kept) on the Distribution Date is presently and irrevocably entitled at the end of the relevant Distribution Period to its Distribution Amount for that Distribution Period.

11.4 Transfer of Distribution Amounts to distribution account

As soon as possible after the Distribution Date, the Responsible Entity must transfer Members' Distribution Amounts for the relevant Distribution Period to a separate distribution account to be held for the Members entitled to the Distribution Amounts. When transferred, these amounts cease to be part of the Scheme Property.

11.5 Deductions that may be made from Distribution Amount

The Responsible Entity may deduct from a Member's Distribution Amount:

  • (a) the amount (or the amount it reasonably determines to be) of any Taxes, fees and charges relating to the Member or the Member's investment in the Scheme accrued for the relevant Distribution Period;

  • (b) any fees or other amounts payable by the Member to the Responsible Entity, and

  • (c) any amount in pro-rata proportions to all Members that the Responsible Entity in its absolute discretion determines is required for the proper purposes of the Scheme, provided that in each 12 month period ending on 30 June of each year if the Responsible Entity has not exercised this discretion by 7pm Sydney time on 30 June of the relevant year it may not deduct any amount from a Member's Distribution Amount under this clause 11.5(c),

before paying the Member's Distribution Amount or reinvesting it to acquire Units.

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

11.6 When Distribution Amount is paid

The Responsible Entity must pay the Member its Distribution Amount within 90 days after the relevant Distribution Date or any longer period allowed by law.

11.7 Income held over to next Distribution Period

The Responsible Entity may treat an item of income received or accrued during a Distribution Period as having accrued in the next Distribution Period, but only if it is not practicable to deal with it in the first Distribution Period.

11.8 Reinvestment of distributions

The Responsible Entity may allow Members to reinvest all or some of any distribution to acquire Units. If the Responsible Entity decides to allow reinvestment, it:

  • (a) must notify Members of the procedure for reinvestment and any changes to the procedure; and

  • (b) is taken to have received and accepted an application to reinvest distributions on the relevant Distribution Date.

11.9 Unreceived income

If an amount included in the distributable income of the Scheme for a Distribution Period is not actually received during that Distribution Period, the Responsible Entity may set it off against the income for a later Distribution Period and make appropriate adjustments to payments and entitlements.

11.10 Transfer of capital to enable minimum distribution of net income

The Responsible Entity may transfer capital to the distribution account to enable distribution to Members.

11.11 Interim distributions of income

The Responsible Entity may at any time make an interim distribution of income of the Scheme to the Members. If it does:

  • (a) the Responsible Entity must specify a date as the Distribution Date; and

  • (b) this clause 11 applies to the interim distribution as if it were a distribution of distributable income.

11.12 Capital distributions

The Responsible Entity may at any time distribute capital of the Scheme to the Members. Subject to the rights attached to any particular Unit, a person is entitled to the same portion of the capital as if it were distributable income. The capital may be distributed in Cash or by way of additional Units.

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

11.13 Determination whether capital or income

The question of whether an amount is capital or income is to be determined by the Responsible Entity.

11.14 Distribution statements to be sent out

The Responsible Entity must cause a distribution statement for each Distribution Period to be sent to the Members.

12. RESERVES

12.1 Establishing reserves

The Responsible Entity, after consulting the Auditor, may establish any reserve it thinks fit.

12.2 Crediting net capital gains and losses to a reserve

The Responsible Entity may:

  • (a) separate net realised and unrealised capital gains and losses of the Scheme from other receipts, profits and gains of the Scheme; and

  • (b) credit them to a reserve.

12.3

Distributing reserves

The Responsible Entity may distribute reserves to the Members in the same way as distributable income.

13. WITHDRAWING FROM THE SCHEME

13.1 Redemption Request

A Member may give the Responsible Entity a Redemption Request specifying the number of Units to be redeemed or, with the Responsible Entity's approval, the amount of the proceeds which the Member wishes to receive from the redemption.

13.2 No obligation to redeem

The Responsible Entity is not obliged to redeem any Units pursuant to a Redemption Request.

13.3

Redemption period

If the Responsible Entity accepts a Redemption Request under clause 13.1, the Responsible Entity must, while the Scheme is liquid, satisfy the Redemption Request within 360 days of receipt.

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

13.4 Responsible Entity may cause redemption

The Responsible Entity may at any time cause the redemption out of the property of the Scheme of any or all of a Member's Units on such terms and conditions as it determines.

13.5 Minimum holding

If compliance with a Redemption Request would result in the Member holding fewer Units than the current Minimum Holding, the Responsible Entity may treat the Redemption Request as relating to the Member's entire holding of Units.

13.6

Minimum redemption

The Responsible Entity need not redeem Units having a value less than the value of a Minimum Holding unless the Redemption Request relates to the balance of the Member's holding.

13.7 Notice irrevocable

A Member may not withdraw a Redemption Request unless the Responsible Entity agrees.

13.8 Order

Unless the Responsible Entity decides otherwise, the first Units issued to a Member are the first redeemed.

13.9 Redemption while Scheme illiquid

While the Scheme is not liquid, the Member's only right to redeem any of its Units or otherwise withdraw (wholly or partly) from the Scheme is to do so in accordance with the terms of the Corporations Act and any current withdrawal offer made by the Responsible Entity.

14. REDEMPTION PRICE

14.1 Working out Redemption Price

A Unit may only be redeemed at its Redemption Price, which is:

  • (a) while the Scheme is liquid - the Unit Value as at the preceding 30 June or such other time as determined by the Responsible Entity less the Redemption Provision or for a Unit redeemed under the Redemption Offer, $0.94; and

  • (b) while the Scheme is not liquid - the Unit Value as at the preceding 30 June or such other time as determined by the Responsible Entity less the Redemption Provision.

In this clause, " Redemption Provision " is the amount (if any) determined by the Responsible Entity in respect of, or as an allowance for, costs and disbursements, commissions, expenses, legal fees, brokerage, stamp duty, Taxes and other costs

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

that may be incurred or are expected to be incurred by the Responsible Entity or its Affiliates in connection with:

  • (a) the redemption;

  • (b) the realisation and conversion into cash of Scheme Property to satisfy a particular Redemption Request;

  • (c) where all or part of the Redemption Amount is paid by transferring Scheme Property, the valuation and transfer of the Scheme Property; and

  • (d) the acquisition of Units by an Affiliate of the Responsible Entity to fund a redemption.

14.2

Rounding of Redemption Price

The Redemption Price may be rounded up or down as the Responsible Entity thinks fit.

14.3 Deducting redemption fees and other amounts from Redemption Amount

The Responsible Entity may deduct from the Redemption Amount payable to a Member any redemption fees and other amounts owing by the Member to the Responsible Entity.

14.4 Payment of Redemption Amount

The Responsible Entity may pay the Redemption Amount:

  • (a) in Cash;

  • (b) by transferring Scheme Property to the Member; or

  • (c) a combination of both,

but in the case of paragraph (b) or (c):

  • (d) the value of the Scheme Property and the Cash paid (if any) must be equal to the Redemption Amount;

  • (e) the value of the Scheme Property must be based on a valuation carried out by a Valuer; and

  • (f) the costs associated with valuation and transfer of the Scheme Property are payable or can be reimbursed out of the Scheme Property at the discretion of the Responsible Entity.

14.5

Redemption proceeds

The Responsible Entity may determine at its discretion that the Redemption Price will comprise income as well as capital in which case members will be presently entitled to such income component. In the absence of such a determination, the Redemption Price will comprise capital only.

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

14.6 Source of funds

To satisfy a Redemption Request, the Responsible Entity may apply or realise any part of the Scheme Property or obtain financial accommodation. The Responsible Entity is not obliged to pay any part of the Redemption Price out of its own funds.

14.7

Buy-backs

  • (a) While the Units are Officially Quoted and not Stapled, the Responsible Entity may, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, purchase Units on the ASX or any other financial market on which the trading of Units is permitted, and also off-market, and cause the Units to be cancelled. No Redemption Price is payable on cancellation of the Units.

  • (b) While the Units are Officially Quoted and Stapled, the Responsible Entity and the responsible entities of each other Stapled Fund together may, subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, purchase Stapled Securities on the ASX or any other financial market on which the trading of Stapled Securities is permitted, and also off-market. When they do so, each responsible entity of each other Stapled Fund will be regarded as having purchased the units that they have issued and the Responsible Entity will be regarded as having purchased the Units, and upon such purchase Stapling will cease in relation to the Stapled Securities so purchased, and the units (including the Units) will be cancelled. No Redemption Price is payable on cancelation of the Units.

  • (c) The price of each other unit in a Stapled Fund and a Unit purchased under clause 14.7(b) will be such allocation of the purchase price of the Stapled Security as agreed between the Responsible Entity and the responsible entities of each other Stapled Fund.

15. TRANSFER OF UNITS

  • 15.1 Transfers

Units may be transferred subject to their terms, this clause and clause 37.

15.2

Transfer if not Officially Quoted

Subject to clause 15.3, if Units are not Officially Quoted a Member may transfer a Unit by a written document that:

  • (a) relates only to Units of one class;

  • (b) is executed by both the transferor and the transferee; and

  • (c) is in a form approved by the Responsible Entity.

The Responsible Entity must not register a transfer that does not comply with this clause 15.2.

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

15.3 Delivery of transfer if not Officially Quoted

A transfer document under clause 15.2 must be:

  • (a) delivered to the registered office of the Responsible Entity or the address of the Register last notified to Members by the Responsible Entity; and

  • (b) marked with payment of any stamp duty payable.

Property in and title to a transfer document that is delivered to the Responsible Entity (but not the Units to which it relates) passes to the Responsible Entity on delivery.

15.4 Transfer if Officially Quoted

Subject to this deed and the Listing Rules, if a Unit is Officially Quoted, it is transferable:

  • (a) as provided by the Operating Rules of the CS Facility if applicable; or

  • (b) by any other method of transfer which is required or permitted by the Corporations Act, ASX or ASIC.

If a duly completed transfer document:

  • (c) is used to transfer a Unit in accordance with paragraph (b); and

  • (d) is left for registration with the Registrar and marked with payment of any stamp duty payable,

the Responsible Entity must, subject to the Responsible Entity's powers, register the transferee as the holder of the Unit.

15.5 Refusal to register transfer if not Officially Quoted

If Units are not Officially Quoted, the Responsible Entity may refuse to register a transfer of Units without giving any reason for doing so, but if it does refuse to register a transfer, it must give the transferee written notice of the refusal within 2 months after the date on which the transfer was delivered to it.

15.6 Responsible Entity may request holding lock or refuse to register transfer

If Units are Officially Quoted, and if permitted to do so by the Listing Rules, the Responsible Entity may:

  • (d) request the CS Facility Operator or the Registrar, as the case may be, to apply a holding lock to prevent a transfer of Units from being registered on the CS Facility's sub register or registered on an issuer-sponsored sub register, as the case may be; or

  • (e) refuse to register a transfer of other Units to which paragraph (a) does not apply.

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

15.7 Responsible Entity must request holding lock or refuse to register transfer

The Responsible Entity must:

  • (a) request the CS Facility Operator or the Registrar, as the case may be, to apply a holding lock to prevent a transfer of Units from being registered on the CS Facility's sub register or registered on an issuer-sponsored sub register, as the case may be; or

  • (b) refuse to register a transfer of other Units to which paragraph (a) does not apply,

if the Corporations Act or Listing Rules require the Responsible Entity to do so or the transfer is in breach of clause 37.

15.8 Notice of holding locks and refusal to register transfer

If, in the exercise of its rights under clause 15.6 or 15.7, the Responsible Entity requests the application of a holding lock to prevent a transfer of Units or refuses to register a transfer or Units, it must, within two months after the date on which the transfer was lodged with it, give written notice of the request or refusal to:

  • (a) the holder of the Units;

  • (b) the purported transferee; and

  • (c) the broker lodging the transfer, if any.

Failure to give notice does not, however, invalidate the decision of the Responsible Entity.

15.9 Transferor remains holder until transfer registered

Except as provided by any applicable Operating Rules of a CS Facility, the transferor of a Unit remains the holder of it until the transfer is registered and the transferee's name is entered in the Register as the holder of the Unit.

15.10 Responsible Entity may suspend registration of transfers

The Responsible Entity may suspend registration of transfers of Units at the times and for the periods it thinks fit if Units are not Officially Quoted or to the extent (if at all) permitted by the Operating Rules of a CS Facility.

15.11 Powers of attorney

The Responsible Entity may assume, as against a Member, that a power of attorney granted by that Member that is lodged with or produced or exhibited to the Responsible Entity remains in force, and may rely on it, until the Responsible Entity receives express notice in writing at its registered office of:

  • (a) the revocation of the power of attorney; or

  • (b) the death, dissolution or insolvency of the Member.

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

15.12 Consideration for transfer

The Responsible Entity need not concern itself with the consideration for a transfer of a Unit.

15.13 Options

This clause 15 applies to Options subject to any necessary modifications that are required in respect of any such transfers.

16. TRANSMISSION OF UNITS

16.1 Death of joint holder

The Responsible Entity must recognise only the surviving joint holders as being entitled to Units registered jointly in the names of a deceased Member and others. The estate of the deceased joint holder is not released from any liability in respect of the Units.

16.2 Death of single holder

The Responsible Entity must not recognise anyone except the legal personal representative of the deceased Member as having any title to Units registered in the sole name of a deceased Member. If the personal representative gives the Responsible Entity the documents described in the Corporations Act or other information that satisfies the Responsible Entity of the representative's entitlement to be registered as holder of the Units:

  • (a) subject to clauses 15.5 and 16.4, the Responsible Entity must register the personal representative as the holder of the Units as soon as possible after receipt of a written and signed notice to the Responsible Entity from the representative requiring it to do so; and

  • (b) whether or not registered as the holder of the Units, the personal representative:

  • (i) may, subject to clause 15, transfer the Units to another person; and

  • (ii) has the same rights as the deceased Member.

16.3

34.1 Definitions

The following definitions apply in this clause.

Cashout Unit means a Unit issued under clause 34.3 or a Unit reclassified under clause 34.4.

Investor means a person entered in the Register as a holder of Stapled Securities.

Market Price of a Stapled Security on a particular day is:

  • (a) the weighted average of the VWAP for the Stapled Security for each of the 10 Trading Days immediately before the relevant day (whether or not a sale was recorded on any particular day);

  • (b) the price obtained pursuant to a bookbuild arranged by a reputable investment bank with experience in arranging bookbuilds in the Australian equity market, provided that the Auditor has provided written certification that the bookbuild was conducted in accordance with normal market standards; or

  • (c)

  • (i) in the case of paragraph (a), Stapled Securities have not been Officially Quoted for at least 10 consecutive Trading Days before the relevant day; or

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

  1. (ii) in the case of paragraphs (a) or (b), in the Responsible Entity's opinion, a determination under paragraph (a) or (b) of this definition (as relevant) would not provide a fair reflection of the market value of the Stapled Security having regard to the nature of the proposed offer of Stapled Securities and the circumstances in which the proposed offer is made,

the price per Stapled Security determined by an adviser who:

  • (iii) is independent of the Responsible Entity; and

  • (iv) has relevant market experience in determining the issue price of securities in circumstances similar to those in which the determination of the Market Price of a Stapled Security is being made,

to be the fair market price of the Stapled Security, having regard to:

  • (v) the nature of the proposed offer of Stapled Securities for which purpose the Market Price of a Stapled Security is being calculated;

  • (vi) the circumstances in which the proposed offer of Stapled Securities will be made; and

  • (vii) the interests of Investors generally, including balancing the dilutionary effect of any such issue against the desirability of a successful capital raising.

Master Scheme means the Stapled Funds as one scheme for the purposes of registration under Part 5C of the Corporations Act.

Merger Proposal means the proposal detailed in a notice of meeting and accompanying information issued by the Responsible Entity on or about October 2005, for certain schemes to be Stapled as Stapled Funds, for formulating a constitution for the Master Scheme, and for registering the Master Scheme.

Proposal means a proposal for Stapling, including the Merger Proposal, or a proposal for cessation of Stapling.

Register means the register of Investors kept by the responsible entities of the Stapled Funds under clause 34.7(u) and the Corporations Act.

Staple means:

  • (a) for Stapled Funds, to link together each Stapled Fund; and

  • (b) for Units, to link together the rights and obligations which attach to one Unit with the rights and obligations which attach to one unit in each other Stapled Fund,

and Stapled and Stapling have a corresponding meaning.

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

Stapled Fund means the Scheme and each other fund to whose units any Units in the Scheme are from time to time Stapled pursuant to clause 34.5.

Stapled Security means a security formed by Stapling together one Unit and a unit in each other Stapled Fund.

VWAP in respect of a Stapled Security for a Trading Day, means the volume weighted average of the Stapled Security prices for that Trading Day for all sales of Stapled Securities recorded on ASX for the day. The Responsible Entity may include, or may substitute, in VWAP calculations trading on another financial market on which trading in Stapled Securities is permitted. The Responsible Entity may exclude sales that occur otherwise than in the ordinary course of trading on ASX or other financial market (such as special crossings, crossings prior to the commencement of normal trading, crossings during the closing phase and the afterhours adjust phase, overseas sales, sales pursuant to the exercise of options over Stapled Securities and overnight crossings) and any other sales which the Responsible Entity reasonably considers may not be fairly reflective of natural supply and demand.

34.2 Issues of Units for Merger Proposal

The Responsible Entity may issue Units to members of a fund to whose units the Responsible Entity proposes to Staple Units in the Scheme under the Merger Proposal.

34.3 Issue of Cashout Units

The Responsible Entity may, for the same issue price as a Unit issued under clause 34.2, issue Cashout Units of a separate class which rank equally with all other Units and have the same rights and obligations attached to them as a Unit, except that a Cashout Unit may be redeemed for an amount equal to its issue price.

34.4 Reclassification as a Cashout Unit

If an existing Unit becomes Stapled to a unit from another Stapled Fund which is of a separate class to other units in that Stapled Fund and has rights similar to those of a Cashout Unit, that existing Unit becomes a Cashout Unit of a separate class with the rights and obligations stated in clause 34.3.

34.5

When Stapling applies

The Responsible Entity may by written notice declare that some or all Units in the Scheme are Stapled to units in one or more other managed investment schemes. From the date of that declaration (or from a date specified by that declaration) Stapling pursuant to this clause 34 applies despite any other provision of this document. The date specified by the Responsible Entity may be earlier than the date of that declaration, and if so:

  • (a) all Units are to be treated as if Stapling had occurred on the specified date; and

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

  1. (b) all Units already on issue and all further Units issued in connection with Stapling are to rank equally in all respects from the specified date (even if the specified date precedes their date of issue).

  3. (j) ( alternative calculation of prices ) subject to the Corporations Act, the Responsible Entity may keep valuation records and financial records for the Stapled Funds as an economic entity, eliminate transactions between Stapled Funds (such as loans between Stapled Funds before calculating the net scheme value of the economic entity) and may use the net scheme value of the economic entity to calculate the issue price or redemption price of a Stapled Security instead of, where applicable, aggregating the unit values of the units comprising a Stapled Security;

  4. (k) ( regard to interests of holders in Stapled Funds ) in exercising its powers or discretions or performing its functions under this document or in relation to the Scheme, the Responsible Entity may as it sees fit:

  6. (d) ( Small Holdings ) a reference to a "Small Holding" or "New Small Holding" in clause 38 is taken to be a reference to a small holding or new small holding of Stapled Securities (and other references to "Units" in each case are to be construed accordingly);

  • (b) Subject to clauses 34.14(a) and 34.14(d), while Units are not Officially Quoted but are Stapled, the Issue Price payable for a Unit is the price calculated under clause 6, and the issue price of a Stapled Security is the sum of that amount and the issue price of a unit in each other Stapled Fund.

  • (c) Subject to clause 34.14(d), while Units are Officially Quoted as part of a Stapled Security, the Issue Price payable for any Unit is such part of the Market Price of a Stapled Security on the date on which or as at which the Issue Price is to be calculated, as is calculated in accordance with clause 34.16.

  • (d) The Responsible Entity may determine a different Issue Price for any Units (subject to the Corporations Act as modified by any applicable ASIC Instrument and the Listing Rules) in the case of:

  • (i) offers made to persons who were Investors on a date determined by the Responsible Entity:

    • (A) provided that, subject to clause 34.14(d)(i)(B), all Investors are offered Stapled Securities in proportion to the value of the Investor's Stapled Securities (or, where the offer is made only to investors who hold Stapled Securities in a particular class, to the value of the Investor's Stapled Securities in that class) at the relevant date; but

    • (B) an Investor may be excluded from the pro rata offer if to do so would not cause the Responsible Entity to be in contravention of paragraph 601FC(1)(d) of the Corporations Act, as modified by ASIC Instrument,

whether or not the right of entitlement is renounceable.

Any offer made under this clause 34.1(d)(i) must specify the period during which it may be accepted. The Responsible Entity may

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

adjust any entitlement to accord with the Listing Rules and, in the case of fractions the Responsible Entity must offer the next higher whole number of Units and Stapled Securities. Any Investor may renounce their entitlement in favour of some other person, unless the issue is expressed to be non-renounceable.

Any Stapled Securities offered for subscription under this clause 34.1(d)(i) which are not subscribed for within the period for acceptance set by the Responsible Entity may be offered for subscription by the Responsible Entity to any person. The issue price payable in relation to such further offer must not be less than that at which the Units and Stapled Securities were originally offered to Investors.

If an underwriter has underwritten any offer for subscription of Stapled Securities under this clause 34.1(d)(i), the underwriter may take up any Stapled Securities not subscribed for by Investors;

  • (e) a placement of Stapled Securities that complies with the Listing Rules and any applicable ASIC Instrument, where the issue price for the placement of a Stapled Security is determined in accordance with clause 6.6 (as modified by this clause 34), and the Issue Price for the Unit is determined in accordance with clause 34.16;

  • (f) a security purchase plan that complies with the Listing Rules and any applicable ASIC Instrument, where the issue price for a Stapled Security is determined in accordance with clause 6.6 (as modified by this clause 34), and the Issue Price for the Unit is determined in accordance with clause 34.16;

  • (g) a reinvestment of distributions, where the Issue Price is determined in accordance with clause 34.15;

  • (h) Units issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option, where the Issue Price is determined in accordance with clause 6.10 in the case of an offer which complies with the Listing Rules, any applicable ASIC Instrument and the principles in clause 6.4; and

  • (i) any of the other circumstances set out in the Corporations Act, as modified by any applicable ASIC Instrument.

34.15 Issue Price if reinvestment applies

  • (a) If a reinvestment of capital or income payable to an Investor under clause 11.8 applies while Units are Officially Quoted and Stapled, subject to the Listing Rules, the aggregate of the Issue Price of each additional Unit issued and the issue price for each unit in each other Stapled Fund upon reinvestment is the price determined by the Responsible Entity. If the Responsible Entity has not determined the issue price by the date at which Units are to be issued upon reinvestment, the price will be the average of the VWAP for Stapled Securities for each of the 10 Trading Days from and

15956525_2/MBF/3136152-004

including the third Trading Day after the Distribution Date for the relevant Distribution Period.

  • (b) While Units are not Officially Quoted but are Stapled, the Issue Price payable for each additional Unit issued on a reinvestment of capital or income payable to an Investor under clause 11.8 is the price determined by the Responsible Entity. If the Responsible Entity has not determined the Issue Price by the date at which Units are to be issued upon reinvestment, the price for a Unit will be the Issue Price calculated under clause 6.5(f) on the first Business Day after the end of the Distribution Period to which the distribution relates.

34.16 Allocation of Issue Price

If a Unit is to be issued as part of a Stapled Security and this deed contains a provision for the calculation or determination of the issue price for a Stapled Security but not for the Unit, the Responsible Entity must, in accordance with clause 34.7(i), determine what part of the issue price of a Stapled Security is to represent the Issue Price of a Unit for the purposes of this deed.

34.17 Paramountcy

Subject to clauses 2.3, 34.18 and 36, this clause 34 has effect despite any other provision of this document and a provision of this document that is inconsistent with this clause 34 does not have effect to the extent of the inconsistency.

34.18 Operation of Corporations Act and Listing Rules
