Acquisitions

• Centuria Property Funds Limited ( CPFL ), as Responsible Entity of Centuria Office REIT ( COF ), proposes to acquire interests in two high quality office properties, strategically located in key Melbourne and Sydney near city and metropolitan locations (the Acquisitions ) for a total purchase price of $273.1 million[1]

Properties State Interest Purchase price1 Cap rate NLA (sqm)2 WALE (yrs)3 Occupancy3
101 Moray Street, South Melbourne VIC 100% $205.1m 5.00% 15,908 6.3 100.0%
203 Pacific Highway, St Leonards NSW 50%4 $68.0m 5.75% 11,735 3.9 99.3%
Total / weighted average $273.1m 5.19% 27,643 5.6 99.8%

• COF has entered into the contract for the acquisition of 101 Moray Street with settlement to occur on 30 September 2021. COF has received and accepted a pre-emptive notice for 203 Pacific Highway with exchange of conditional contracts expected prior to 10 September 2021

==> picture [41 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Equity Raising

  • To partially fund the Acquisitions, COF is undertaking a fully underwritten 1 for 6.4 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer to raise approximately $201 million (the Equity Raising ) at an issue price of $2.50 per unit ( Issue Price )

  • Centuria Capital Group ( CNI ), COF's largest unitholder, has committed to take up $25.5 million of entitlements under the Equity Raising

  • COF presently owns a 50% interest[4] in 203 Pacific Highway. The remaining 50% interest[4] is being acquired from Centuria 203 Pacific Highway Fund, a closed-end unlisted fund managed by CPFL

==> picture [41 x 41] intentionally omitted <==

Unitholder Approval

  • COF has exercised its pre-emptive right under the co-owners agreement to acquire the remaining 50% interest after Centuria 203 Pacific Highway Fund issued COF with a transfer notice to sell its interest in the property

• As the vendor is a related party of CPFL, the acquisition of the remaining 50% interest requires approval from COF unitholders by an ordinary resolution in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act. The acquisition also requires approval from Centuria 203 Pacific Highway Fund unitholders by an ordinary resolution

  • Unitholder meetings for COF and Centuria 203 Pacific Highway Fund are expected to take place on Friday, 29 October 2021. A separate Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum will be sent to COF unitholders

Strategic Rationale

On strategy 1 acquisitions

High quality assets with strong tenant 2 covenant

  • Continued execution of strategy with the Acquisitions generating sustainable rents from high quality income streams

  • Occupancy of 99.8% and in markets where COF has substantial existing experience

  • Assets have experienced recent leasing success with 101 Moray St entirely leased through COVID-19, resulting in a reduction in near term lease expiries

  • High quality office assets providing increased exposure to Sydney and Melbourne markets and major ASX listed companies, including SCA and Ooh! Media

  • 101 Moray St is newly constructed and located near desirable South Melbourne amenities

  • 203 Pacific Highway represents consolidation of a high performing existing asset in an established metropolitan office market

  • Complements COF’s portfolio diversification with no single market exposure greater than 15%[1]

Enhances COF’s 3 portfolio composition

Positions COF for 4 further growth

  • Acquisitions have a WALE of 5.6 years and increase COF's portfolio WALE to 4.5 years[1]

  • Acquisitions have an average building age of 5.9 years thereby reducing the average age of COF's portfolio to 15.5 years[1]

  • Continues to position COF as Australia's largest listed pure play office REIT with a $2.3 billion portfolio of quality office assets[1]

  • FTSE Russell has confirmed that COF will be included in the FTSE EPRA Nareit Global Developed Index, effective from Monday, 20 September 2021

Appendix B – Key Risks

203 Pacific Highway Acquisition

COF presently owns a 50% leasehold interest in 203 Pacific Highway. The remaining 50% leasehold interest is being acquired from Centuria 203 Pacific Highway Fund (203 PH Fund), a closed-end unlisted fund managed by CPFL. COF and the 203 PH Fund are parties to a co-owners agreement in respect of the property.

COF has exercised its pre-emptive right under the co-owners agreement to acquire the remaining 50% leasehold interest after the 203 PH Fund issued COF with a transfer notice to sell its interest in the property. Exchange of conditional contracts is expected prior to 10 September 2021.

As the parties are related parties, completion of the acquisition is subject to approval by the COF unitholders by an ordinary resolution for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules and Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act. Completion of the acquisition is also subject to:

  • approval by the unitholders of the 203 PH Fund by an ordinary resolution; and

  • the freehold owner of 203 Pacific Highway consenting, in accordance with the terms of the ground lease, to the assignment of 203 PH Fund's interest under the ground lease to COF and the grant of a mortgage to COF's mortgagee.

If the contract is not entered into for any reason or one or more of the conditions precedent to completion are not satisfied, the acquisition of 203 Pacific Highway will not proceed. If the acquisition does not complete, the subscription monies will not be returned, instead the surplus proceeds of the Offer will be used to pay down COF's existing debt facilities.

101 Moray Street Acquisition

Completion of the acquisition of 101 Moray Street is not subject to conditions precedent however if the acquisition does not complete for any reason, the subscription monies received will not be returned. Instead, the surplus proceeds of the Offer will be used to reduce COF's existing debt facilities.

Acquisition risks generally

There is no guarantee that COF will be able to complete all its current or future acquisitions. To the extent that the Acquisitions or any future acquisitions are not successfully integrated with COF's existing business, the financial performance of COF could be materially adversely affected.

There is also a risk that COF will be unable to identify future acquisition opportunities that meet its investment objectives, or if such acquisitions are identified, that they can be acquired on appropriate terms, thereby potentially limiting the growth of COF and its funds management business. Any failure to

identify appropriate assets or successfully acquire such assets could materially adversely affect the growth prospects and financial performance of COF. While it is COF's policy to conduct a thorough due diligence process in relation to any such acquisition, risks remain that are inherent in such acquisitions.

Underwriting risk

CPFL as responsible entity of COF has entered into an underwriting agreement with the Underwriters for the Equity Raising (other than in respect of the commitments received from certain Centuria entities).

The Underwriters’ obligation to underwrite the Equity Raising is subject to customary terms and conditions, including termination rights for the Underwriters in specific circumstances.

If the Underwriters are entitled to, and do, terminate the Underwriting Agreement and COF is not otherwise able to raise the full $201 million equity capital required, it would not be able to complete the Acquisitions, which would be likely to materially and adversely affect COF’s financial position and the market price for COF securities.

A summary of the termination rights for the Underwriters is set out on pages 24 to 26.

Capital expenditure risk

COF is generally responsible for capital repairs at its properties (including at its properties where it has a leasehold interest). COF may incur capital expenditure costs for unforeseen structural problems arising from a defect in a property or alterations required due to changes in statutory and compliance requirements (such as changes to environmental, building or safety regulations and standards). Over time, capital expenditure will be required to maintain the properties, and also to improve the properties or to install market-standard equipment, technologies and systems to retain and attract tenants. There is a risk that this capital expenditure could exceed the expenditure forecasted which may result in increased funding costs, lower distributions and property valuation write-downs.

Impact of COVID-19 and Macroeconomic Risks

The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in significant national and global market turbulence and has created substantial volatility in the prices of securities trading on the ASX, including the price of units in COF. The uncertainty associated with the pandemic means that the broader impacts of it and how long they will occur for are unknown. Among other things, this relates to the state and federal response to mitigate Covid-19, the closure of many businesses across the country, affiliated unemployment and tightening travel restrictions, all of which may have some impact on the performance of COF, tenants of COF, the Australian share market and the broader economy.

Given the uncertainty surrounding the extent and duration of COVID-19, it is not currently possible to assess the full impact of COVID-19 on COF’s business. A number of COF’s tenants are directly or indirectly affected by government, regulatory or health authority actions, work stoppages, lockdowns, quarantines and travel restrictions associated with COVID-19. This may negatively impact their ability to meet their rent obligations. While COF expects it will have significant cash and headroom under the debt facility to deal with the circumstances relating to COVID-19, there is a risk that if the duration of events surrounding COVID-19 are prolonged, COF may need to take additional measures in order to respond appropriately.

There are also other changes in the domestic and global macroeconomic environment associated with the events relating to COVID-19 that are beyond the control of COF and may be exacerbated in an economic recession or downturn. These include, but are not limited to:

  • Changes in inflation, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates;

  • Changes in employment level and labour costs;

  • Changes in aggregate investment and economic output; and

  • Other changes in economic conditions which may affect the ability of COF to attract or retain new tenants

Tenants and rental income

The profitability of COF is tied to the maintenance of tenancies and their success. This counterparty risk means that COF must maintain strong relationships with its tenants despite the possibility of their inability to satisfy their contractual obligations in the current uncertain and unstable economic environment. If a tenant or group of tenants are unable to fulfil their obligations to COF, the operating and financial performance of COF will be significantly adversely affected. Similarly, if COF cannot lease vacant space on economically favourable terms, the operating and financial performance of COF will be significantly adversely affected.

The severity of this risk is significantly enhanced by the COVID-19 pandemic and government regulations implemented to mitigate the spread of the virus. State implemented moratorium regulations and, any further changes to legislation yet to be announced, may adversely affect COF's ability to manage the performance of its tenants and may limit COF's availability to recourse for any tenants in default during the term of the regulations.

non-essential services will likely result in a significant reduction in foot traffic for many retail businesses, which will adversely impact the financial position of many tenants across the country. The associated accumulation of rental arrears may have flow on impacts for COF. It may also effect COF's ability to lease properties that become vacant on economically favourable terms.

The severity and length of this uncertainty may materially impact the performance and prospects of COF for the foreseeable future.

General economic conditions

COF’s financial performance, and the market price of COF units, is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, including the level of inflation, interest rates, exchange rates, commodity prices, ability to access funding, oversupply and demand conditions, government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policy changes in gross domestic product and economic growth, employment levels and consumer spending, consumer and investment sentiment and property market volatility. Prolonged deterioration in any or all of these conditions, an increase in the cost of capital or a decrease in consumer demand, could have a materially adverse impact on COF’s financial performance. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance.

Inflation

Higher than expected inflation rates generally or specific to the property sector could be expected to increase operating costs and development costs and may exceed any rental increases under relevant leases.

Litigation and disputes

Disputes or litigation may arise from time to time in the course of business activities. There is a risk that material or costly disputes or litigation could adversely affect financial performance and the value of COF units.

Occupational health and safety

COF is subject to laws and regulations governing health and safety matters.

Failure to comply with the necessary occupational health and safety requirements across the jurisdictions in which COF operates could result in fines, penalties and compensation for damages as well as reputational damage.

In addition, COVID-19 and implemented government regulations are leading to reduced consumption in some industries as consumers face significant uncertainty. Coupled with market interventions limiting

Appendix B – Key Risks (cont.)

Liquidity of property investments

The nature of investments in property assets may make it difficult to generate liquidity in the short term if there is a need to respond to changes in economic or other conditions.

Asset values

Asset values are affected by many factors including prevailing market conditions, risk appetite, volume of sales, the ability to procure tenants, contracted rental returns, operating, maintenance and refurbishment expenses and the funding environment. Asset value declines may increase gearing levels and their proximity to covenant limits.

Counterparty/Credit risk

COF is exposed to the risk that third parties, such as tenants, developers, service providers and counterparties to other contracts may not be willing or able to perform their obligations.

Fixed nature of costs

Many costs associated with the ownership and management of property assets are fixed in nature. The value of assets may reduce if the income from the asset declines and these fixed costs remain unchanged.

Insurance

COF purchases insurance, customarily carried by property owners, managers, developers and construction entities, which provides a degree of protection for its assets, liabilities and people. Such policies include material damage of assets, contract works, business interruption, general and professional liability and workers compensation. There are however certain risks that are uninsurable (e.g. nuclear, chemical or biological incidents) or risks where the insurance coverage is reduced (e.g. cyclone, earthquake).

COF also faces risk associated with the financial strength of its insurers to meet indemnity obligations when called upon, which could reduce earnings.

uninsurable, and if such events occur they may have materially adverse effects on COF.

Funding

Economic, political, capital and credit market conditions influence whether COF will be able to raise funds on favourable terms, if at all, in order to proceed with future commercial activities. These conditions are in flux due to COVID-19. An inability to raise funds, or a limitation to poor terms of funding will have an adverse impact on COF's ability to acquire or improve assets, or contribute towards debt refinancing.

Refinancing Requirements

COF currently is exposed to risks stemming from the refinancing of existing debt instruments and facilities. There is no guarantee that COF will be able to refinance some or all of its debt facilities as they mature in the future on the same terms or at all.

Regulatory issues and changes in law

COF is exposed to the risk that there may be changes in laws that negatively affect financial performance (such as by directly or indirectly reducing income or increasing costs).

Competition

COF faces competition from within the A-REIT sector, and also operates with the threat of new competition entering the market. The existence of such competition may have an adverse impact on COF's ability to secure tenants for its properties at satisfactory rental rates and on a timely basis, or the pricing of construction projects or development opportunities, which in turn may negatively affect COF's financial performance and returns to its investors.

Environmental

A-REITs are exposed to a range of environmental risks, which may result in project delays or additional expenditure. In such situations, they may be required to undertake remedial works and potentially be exposed to third party liability claims and/or environmental liabilities such as penalties or fines.

Force majeure risk

There are some events that are beyond the control of COF or any other party, including acts of God, fires, floods, earthquakes, wars, strikes and acts of terrorism. Some force majeure risks are effectively

Appendix B – Key Risks (cont.)

Returns from investment

Returns from property investment assets largely depend on the rental income generated from the property and the expenses incurred in the operation of that property, including the management and maintenance of the property as well as the changes in the market value of the property. Factors that may reduce these returns include:

  • the overall conditions in the national and local economy, such as changes to growth in gross domestic product, employment, inflation and interest rates;

  • local real estate conditions, such as changes in the demand and supply for retail, office, industrial or hotel/tourism assets or rental space;

  • changes in government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies; and

  • the demand for COF securities.

The market price of COF securities may therefore not reflect the underlying NTA of COF.

Other factors

Other factors that may affect COF’s performance include changes or disruptions to political, regulatory, legal or economic conditions or to the national or international financial markets including as a result of terrorist attacks or war.

  • the perception of prospective tenants regarding attractiveness and convenience of assets;

  • the convenience and quality of properties;

  • changes in tenancy laws;

  • external factors including war, terrorist or force majeure events;

  • unforeseen capital expenditure;

  • supply of new properties and other investment assets; and

  • investor demand/liquidity in investments.

Market risks

Investors should be aware that the market price of COF units and the future distributions made to COF unitholders may be influenced by a number of factors that are common to most listed investments, some of which are beyond COF’s control. At any point in time, these may include:

  • the Australian and international economic outlook;

  • movements in the general level of prices on international and local equity and credit markets;

  • changes in economic conditions including inflation, recessions and interest rates;

  • changes in market regulators’ policies and practice in relation to regulatory legislation;

Acquisition Contract – 101 Moray Street, South Melbourne

Under a contract of sale, Centuria Investment Management (CMA) No. 2 Pty Ltd ACN 635 660 918 as trustee for the Centuria Urban REIT Sub Trust No. 2 (a trust wholly-owned by COF) (Centuria), is purchasing a 100% interest in 81-109 Moray Street, South Melbourne, Victoria 3205 ( Property ) for a total purchase of $205,120,000 ( Acquisition Contract ).

There are no conditions precedent under the Acquisition Contract.

The Acquisition Contract is due to complete on 30 September 2021 but may be brought forward by Centuria on 5 business days' notice.

The Property is being purchased subject to the leases and licences at the Property and from the date of completion, Centuria will be entitled to the income and be responsible for the expenses in connection with the Property.

The purchase price for the Property is reduced on completion by the amount equivalent to any incentives:

  • which outstanding under the leases pre-dating the Acquisition Contract; and

  • under any leases which are proposed to be granted under any existing heads of agreements which have not been duly executed on or before the settlement date.

Centuria will receive a monthly rental support allowance based on:

  • any rent relief required to be given to a tenant pursuant to any COVID-19 rent relief legislation or the terms of any lease, for a period of 12 months from the date of completion;

  • the rent which would have been payable pursuant to any leases which are proposed to be granted in respect of any vacant tenancies, for a period of 12 months from the date of completion or until such leases are signed; and

  • any shortfall in the recovery of statutory outgoings and management fees under various tenancies from the period from the completion date until 31 November 2022;

  • the difference between the actual lease and/or licence fees payable by certain tenants and/or licensees and the amounts disclosed by the vendor; and

  • for leases that have been executed but will not have commenced by the date of completion, an amount equal to the rent and/or licence fees that are payable under those leases and/or licences from the date of completion until the actual commencement date under those leases and/or licences, (collectively, Guaranteed Monies ).

Part of the purchase price will be withheld on settlement and deposited in the purchaser's solicitor's trust account until the relevant certificate has been obtained, and the vendor indemnifies the purchaser for any loss arising from the failure to obtain that certificate. The indemnity is supported by a corporate guarantee from an entity of substance.

A building order was issued in respect of the Property dated 2 March 2021. Under the Contract, the Vendor is liable for complying with that order and indemnifies Centuria for any loss arising in connection with that order, except to the extent the order relates to works being undertaken by a tenant. The indemnity is supported by a corporate guarantee from an entity of substance.

  1. The purchase price for the 50% interest in the Property being acquired is $68,000,000 ( Purchase Price ) with a 5% deposit payable on exchange of the 203 PH Contract.

  2. The 203 PH Contract will be subject to the following conditions precedent:

  3. a) the owner of the freehold interest, who granted the leasehold interests which comprise the Property, consenting to the sale pursuant to the 203 PH Contract and the grant of a mortgage over the Property to the Purchaser's mortgagee;

  4. b) the COF unitholders resolving to approve the purchase of the 50% interest in the Property; and

  5. c) the unitholders in the Vendor fund resolving to approve the sale of the 50% interest in the Property.

  6. If all of the conditions precedent are not met by 28 February 2022, either party may terminate the 203 PH Contract and the deposit (and interest) will be refunded to the Purchaser.

Acquisition Contract – 203 Pacific Highway, St Leonards

  1. The Trust Company (Australia) Limited (ACN 000 000 993) as custodian for the Centuria 203 Pacific Highway Fund ( Vendor ) and COF through a wholly owned sub-fund ( Purchaser ) each own a 50% interest in the leasehold estate under:

  2. a) lease registration number 6680910 as varied by variation of lease 7411812, being a leasehold estate in the land comprised in folio identifier 2/879307 being lot 2 in deposited plan 879307; and

  3. b) lease registration number 6680914, being a leasehold estate in the land comprised in folio identifier 5/879307 being lot 5 in deposited plan 879307, together known as 203 Pacific Highway, St Leonards NSW 2065,

(the two 50% leasehold interests together being, the Property ).

  1. The Purchaser and the Vendor have agreed the terms of a contract pursuant to which the Purchaser will acquire the Vendor's 50% interest in the Property ( 203 PH Contract ). Accordingly, on completion of the 203 PH Contract, the Purchaser will become the sole owner of the Property.

  2. The terms of the 203 PH Contract are summarised below and CPFL expects the parties to formally enter into the 203 PH Contract before 10 September 2021.

  3. The 203 PH Contract is due to complete on the date that is the latest of:

  4. a) the 28th day after the date of the 203 PH Contract;

  5. b) the 10th day after the freehold owner consents to the sale; and

  6. c) the 10th day after the last of the unitholder approvals referred to above is given.

  7. The 50% interest in the Property is being purchased subject to the existing leases of the Property.

  8. The Purchaser on completion of the 203 PH Contract must pay to the Vendor by way of settlement adjustment an amount equal to any capital expenditure on the Property that is agreed by the parties and actually paid by the Vendor (as its contribution) after the date of the 203 PH Contract but prior to completion. Otherwise there is to be no adjustment on account of outstanding incentives to tenants as the price is based on a net valuation.

  9. Accession of Common Ownership:

  10. a) The Purchaser will sign an Accession of Occupancy Deed under a deed poll, assuming all obligations of the Vendor under the Occupancy Deed.

  11. b) The Purchaser will sign an Accession of Shared Services Deed under a deed poll, assuming all obligations of the Vendor under the Shared Services Deed.

In particular, this presentation includes forward-looking statements regarding the completion of the Acquisitions (as defined herein), the performance of COF after completion of the Acquisitions, statements about COF's plans, future developments and strategy and statements about the outcome and effects of the Equity Raising and the use of proceeds.
