Letter from the Chair
Wednesday, 3 June 2009
Dear Securityholder,
Charter Hall Group capital raising – Retail Entitlement Offer
On behalf of Charter Hall Group (“ Charter Hall ”), I am pleased to invite Eligible Retail Securityholders (as defined in Important Information) to participate in a 2 for 7 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer of new Charter Hall stapled securities (“ New Securities ”) at an issue price of $0.33 per New Security (the “ Retail Entitlement Offer ”).
This offer is part of the overall capital raising announced on 27 May 2009 by Charter Hall to raise $73 million in new listed equity (“ Capital Raising ”). The Capital Raising comprises a placement to Gandel Group (“ Gandel ”) of new securities at an issue price of $0.33 to raise $24 million (“ Placement ”) and a fully underwritten entitlement offer to raise $49 million (“ Entitlement Offer ”). Charter Hall has already raised approximately $56[1] million through the Placement and the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer (“ Institutional Entitlement Offer ”) (together the “ Institutional Offer ”).
Gandel will invest up to $37 million in Charter Hall as part of this Capital Raising (comprising the $24 million Placement and an underwriting commitment of approximately $13 million). Gandel’s holding following completion of the Capital Raising will be a maximum of 15%, depending on retail securityholder participation in the Retail Entitlement Offer. In addition, Gandel has agreed to acquire $30 million of Charter Hall’s existing coinvestment in the Core Plus Office Fund (“CPOF”) and will also commit $15 million to the Special Situations Fund (“SSF”), Charter Hall’s proposed new unlisted fund initiative.
In total, Charter Hall intends to raise $118 million as part of the broader transaction, with Gandel contributing up to $82 million as outlined in the table below:
| Investment | Total | CHC Investors | Gandel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Placement | $24m | – | $24m |
| Underwritten Entitlement Offer | $49m | $49m | $13m (underwrite2) |
| Total equity raising | $73m | $49m | $37m |
| CPOF unit sale | $30m | – | $30m |
| SSF Commitment | $15m | $15m | |
| Total funds | $118m | $49m | $82m |
1 Following finalisation of allocations under the Institutional Entitlement Offer, $32 million was raised (compared to $29 million announced on 28 May 2009) from institutional holders, bringing the total amount raised via the Institutional Offer to $56 million.
2 Gandel will not be eligible to participate in the entitlement offer but will underwrite $12.6 million of the Retail Entitlement Offer. Charter Hall has undertaken to use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that Gandel is able to achieve a holding of 15% of the enlarged capital base following the Offer.

CHARTER HALL RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER
Charter Hall will use the net proceeds of the Capital Raising and sale of CPOF units to repay debt, reducing head stock gearing[3] to zero and ‘look through’ gearing[4] to 34%. The Capital Raising is consistent with our commitment to prudent capital management and ensures Charter Hall is in a strong position with increased available liquidity to provide additional buffer to any further decline in asset values.
This invitation relates to the Retail Entitlement Offer which will raise approximately $17[5] million and offers Eligible Retail Securityholders the opportunity to subscribe for New Securities on the same terms as those investors who participated in the Institutional Entitlement Offer.
You will find enclosed in, or accompanying, this booklet the following important information:
-
a management presentation that was released to the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) on Wednesday, 27 May 2009 in connection with the Capital Raising (“Investor Presentation”), which provides some information on Charter Hall, its capital management initiatives including the Capital Raising and also includes key risks for you to consider;
-
ASX announcement in relation to the Capital Raising and the broader transaction;
-

-
Important Information; and
-
an Entitlement and Acceptance Form which details your entitlement,
(“the Offer Documents ”). The Offer Documents are important documents and require your immediate attention. The Offer Documents should be read in their entirety.
To participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer, you need to ensure that Charter Hall receives:

Please refer to the instructions on “How to Apply” that accompany this letter for further information.
Entitlements are non-renounceable and will not be tradeable on ASX or otherwise transferable. Eligible Retail Securityholders who do not take up their entitlement in full will not receive any value in respect of those Entitlements they do not take up.
You should consult your stockbroker, accountant or other independent professional adviser to evaluate whether or not to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.
For further information regarding the Retail Entitlement Offer, please call the Charter Hall Entitlement Offer Information Line on 1300 664 498 (local call cost from within Australia) or +61 2 8280 7787 (outside Australia) at any time from 8.00am to 7.30pm (AEST) Monday to Friday during the Retail Entitlement Offer period or visit our website at www.charterhall.com.au.

How To Apply
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. PERSONS
1. The Retail Entitlement Offer
Eligible Retail Securityholders (as defined in Important Information) are being offered the opportunity to subscribe for 2 New Securities for every 7 existing Charter Hall stapled securities they held at 7.00pm on Monday, 1 June 2009 (“ Entitlement ”), at the issue price of $0.33 per New Security.
Eligible Retail Securityholders may also apply for New Securities in excess of their Entitlement (“ Additional Securities ”). Please note that under a Placement and Underwriting Agreement between Charter Hall Group and Gandel, Gandel has agreed to underwrite approximately $13 million of the Retail Entitlement Offer. This means that the total number of Additional Securities will be limited to the portion of the Retail Entitlement Offer that has not been taken up by retail securityholders and underwritten by Gandel (refer to Section 8 for more detail on the allocation policy). Additional Securities will only be allocated to Eligible Retail Securityholders if and to the extent that Charter Hall so determines, in its absolute discretion, having regard to the circumstances as at the time of the final close of the Retail Entitlement Offer.
New Securities issued pursuant to the Retail Entitlement Offer will be fully paid and rank equally with existing Charter Hall stapled securities on issue and will be entitled to the second half financial year 2009 distribution.
2. Please read the Offer Documents and other available information
The Entitlement Offer is not being made under a product disclosure statement (“ PDS ”) or prospectus. Rather, the Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to relatively new changes to the Corporations Act that allow rights issues to be offered without a prospectus or PDS. It does not contain all of the information which may be required in order to make an informed investment decision regarding, or about the rights attaching to, the New Securities offered by this document.
As a result, it is important for Eligible Retail Securityholders to read and understand the publicly available information on Charter Hall and the Retail Entitlement Offer prior to accepting their Entitlement or applying for Additional Securities. In particular, please refer to the attached Offer Documents, Charter Hall’s Annual Report and other announcements (including Charter Hall’s Half Year Report for the six month period ended 31 December 2008 that was released to ASX on 24 February 2009) made available at www.charterhall.com.au or www.asx.com.au.

If you request Additional Securities beyond your Entitlement, subject to Charter Hall’s discretion to scale back your allocation of Additional Securities, you will be issued these on Monday, 29 June 2009. Additional Securities will only be allotted on this date.
Charter Hall will treat you as applying for as many New Securities as your payment will pay for in full up to your full Entitlement and, in respect of amounts received by Charter Hall in excess of your Entitlement (“ Excess Amount ”), may treat you applying for as many Additional Securities as your Excess Amount will pay for in full, subject to any scale-back it may determine to implement in its discretion in respect of Additional Securities.
Note: The Entitlement stated on your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form may be in excess of the actual Entitlement you may be permitted to take up where you are holding Charter Hall stapled securities on behalf of a person who is not an Eligible Retail Securityholder (see definition of Eligible Retail Securityholder in Important Information).
Nominees
The Retail Entitlement Offer is being made to all Eligible Retail Securityholders (as defined in Important Information).

Any person in the United States or any person that is or is acting for the account or benefit of a “U.S. person” (as defined in Regulation S (“ Regulation S ”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) (“ U.S. Person ”) with a holding through a nominee may not participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer and the nominee must not take up any Entitlement or send any materials into the United States or to any person that is, or is acting for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person.

Key Investment Risks
-
Outline
-
This section summarises some of the key risks that may affect the future performance of an investment in CHC. This is not an exhaustive list of the relevant risks. If any of the following risks materialise CHC’s business, financial condition and operational results are likely to suffer. You should also consider consulting your financial or legal adviser so as to ensure you understand fully the terms of this Offer and the inherent risks.
-
General Risks affecting CHC
-
Economic Environment : If the Australian economy experiences a prolonged economic downturn, this could have an adverse impact on CHC’s earnings. Aspects of the business that could be affected include reduced rental income as a result of increased vacancy rates, lower rents and tenant defaults; higher lease incentives; lower development margins; lower funds management and performance fees; potential defaults on mortgage loans; lower inflows into our managed funds or other adverse consequences. Other economic factors that could also affect CHC’s business include unemployment, inflation, monetary policy, regulatory change, consumer spending, business investment, taxation and the state of capital markets in general.
-
Interest Rates : Adverse fluctuations in interest rates, to the extent that they are not hedged or forecast, may impact CHC’s earnings. CHC’s asset values may also be affected by any impact that rising interest rates may have on property markets in which CHC operates. In addition, if official interest rates are further reduced, that may have the effect of increasing CHC’s liabilities relating to its fixed interest rate contracts, which will also impact on CHC’s AIFRS profit.
-
Availability Of Capital : The real estate investment and development industry is highly capital-intensive. The ability of CHC to raise funds on favourable terms for future acquisitions, development activity, new and existing funds managed by CHC and refinancing depends on a number of factors including general economic, political, capital market conditions and the reputation, performance and financial strength of CHC’s business. The inability of CHC or funds managed by CHC to raise funds on favourable terms for future acquisitions, developments and refinancing could adversely affect CHC and/or its managed funds. In addition CHC has exposure to capital market risks for those assets that are stock market listed securities.

Key Investment Risks
General Risks affecting CHC (continued)
==> picture [21 x 27] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [387 x 245] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
– ASX Market Volatility : The ASX price of CHC securities will fluctuate due to various factors including general movements in interest rates, the
Australian and international investment markets, international economic conditions, global geo-political events and hostilities, investor
perceptions and other factors that may affect CHC’s financial performance and position. More particularly, the continuing adverse consequences
of the current economic and financial crisis may further depress the market price of CHC’s securities and assets.
– Human Resources : The loss of key management personnel who have particular expertise in property development, marketing or property
investment may influence CHC’s future earnings.
– Unemployment: Current economic conditions due to the global financial crisis mean there is a risk of unemployment levels rising over the
coming months. If so, this could impose financial stresses on households, which could impact demand for residential dwellings and retail sales.
– Competition : CHC faces competition in the markets in which it operates. Competition may lead to an oversupply through overdevelopment, or
to prices for existing properties or services being impacted by competing bids.

Key Investment Risks
Regulatory Issues and Changes in Law
– Changes in Law : CHC is subject to the usual business risk that there may be changes in laws or government legislation, regulation and policy
that reduce income or increase costs. This may adversely affect the future earnings, asset values and the market value of CHC securities
quoted on ASX.
– Taxation Implications : Future changes in taxation laws, including changes in interpretation or application of those laws by the course or
taxation authorities, may affect taxation treatment of an investment in CHC’s securities, or the holdings and disposal of those securities. Tax
considerations may differ between security holders, therefore, prospective investors are encouraged to seek professional tax advice in
connection with any investment in securities.
– Further, changes in tax law, or changes in the way tax law is, or is expected to be, interpreted in the various jurisdictions in which CHC operates,
may impact the future tax liabilities of CHC. Those laws may also adversely affect the taxation treatment of entities in CHC and that may in turn
adversely affect the value of CHC’s securities or distributions on those securities.
– As CHC consists of two entities, a trust and a company, in a stapled arrangement, any changes in the tax laws specifically affecting staples, or
changes to the administration of current laws which affect stapled arrangements or the characterisation of transactions between stapled entities,
could adversely affect security holders’ interests.

Key Investment Risks
Specific Risks
- Investments In Managed Funds : CHC manages a number of funds on behalf of third party investors. These funds typically invest in propertyrelated assets and use debt to partially fund their investments. Many of the debt facilities within the funds have covenants related to the level of gearing and interest coverage to either asset or portfolios in the fund. To the extent that property values or income levels in a particular fund fall, there is a risk that the fund may breach a relevant covenant. CHC has exposure to its funds via co-investments it has made in the funds and loans it has made to the funds. To the extent that a fund breaches a covenant, there is a risk that the value of CHC’s exposure to that particular fund also falls. There are no cross default provisions across CHC’s managed funds, or as between CHC and its managed funds.
– Gearing : The use of leverage may enhance returns and increase the number of assets that can be acquired, but it may also substantially increase the risk of loss. Use of leverage may adversely affect CHC when economic factors such as rising interest rates and/or margins, severe economic downturns, availability of credit or further deterioration in the condition of debt and equity markets occur. If an investment is unable to generate sufficient cash flow to meet the principal and interest payments on its indebtedness, the value of CHC’s equity component could be significantly reduced or even eliminated. Following the transaction, it is CHC’s intention to maintain a low level of gearing on balance sheet, with a significant majority CHC’s exposure to debt residing at the property level within each managed fund, where it is non-recourse to investors including CHC.
– Debt Refinancing and Renewals : If the current illiquidity in global credit markets continues into the medium term, it is possible that the funds may encounter some difficulty refinancing some or all of these debt facilities. If this were to occur, this may necessitate asset sales. – Equity commitments resulting from CHC’s co-investment in its managed funds : As at the date of this Offer, CHC has future commitments of approximately $73 million relating to deferred equity investments in CHOF 4, CHOF 5 and CPIF, which will need to be funded in the event the equity is called. equity is called. Also included in this amount is CHC’s commitment of up to $15 million for a cornerstone investment in the CHCmanaged Special Situations Fund. In addition, if any of its managed funds seek to raise equity to increase their headroom to banking covenants, CHC will have the right but no obligation to subscribe for its pro-rata share of the equity raising (which varies depending on the fund).

----- Start of picture text -----
– Illiquid Property Markets : Property assets are by their nature illiquid investments. This may make it difficult to sell assets of CHC’s in the short
term in response to changes in economic or other conditions.
– Change In Value Of Properties : The value of properties and co-investments owned by CHC may fluctuate from time to time due to market and
other conditions. CHC’s policy is to undertake external revaluations of all of the investment properties, both directly held and within its managed
funds, on an annual basis, with approximately one quarter of the portfolio valued at the end of each quarter (March, June, September and
December). Any fluctuation in the value of the properties as a result of changes in the property market will affect CHC’s gross asset value, its
level of gearing, its net tangible asset backing per stapled security and its LVR position versus covenants within the managed funds. In addition,
the change in value will be recorded in the profit and loss statement as an unrealised gain or loss, and while it does not impact on CHC’s
underlying earnings or distributions, it does impact on CHC’s net profit after tax. In general, valuations represent only the analysis and opinion of
qualified experts at a certain date – they are not guarantees of present or future values. The valuation of a property may be materially higher
than the amount that can be obtained from the sale of a property in certain circumstances, such as under a distress or liquidation sale.
– Property Related Risks : An investment in CHC is largely an investment in real estate and therefore may be adversely affected by changes to
the underlying property, including: tenancy default or failure or delays in letting up premises and falls in rental and occupancy levels; capital
expenditure requirements and increasing costs of plant equipment and labour and development and refurbishment risk; unforseen structural
deterioration or failure; unforseen litigation with tenants; claims under legislation relating to indigenous occupants of land; native title claims;
claims under environmental legislation; and changes in local, state and territory and federal legislation and regulations, particularly relating to
planning.
– Unforeseen Environmental Issues : Unforeseen environmental issues may affect any of CHC’s properties or property interests. These
liabilities may be imposed irrespective of whether or not CHC is responsible for the circumstances to which they relate. CHC may also be
required to remediate sites affected by environmental liabilities. The cost of remediation of sites could be substantial. In addition, if CHC is not
able to remediate a site properly, this may adversely affect its ability to sell the relevant property or to use it as collateral for borrowings. Material
expenditure may also be required to comply with new or more stringent environmental laws or regulations introduced in the future.

Key Investment Risks

----- Start of picture text -----
Specific Risks (continued)
– Fixed Nature of Costs : Many costs associated with property assets are fixed in nature. The value of assets may be adversely affected if the
income from the asset declines while these fixed costs remain unchanged.
– Capital expenditure : The risk of unforeseen capital expenditure requirements may impact returns to investors.
– Reliance on third party equity and funds : As a fund manager, earnings (both current and future) of CHC include fees from the establishment
and management of wholesale and other unlisted funds. The ability of CHC to continue to derive such income is dependent on the ability of CHC
Limited to continue to source and maintain equity from new and existing institutional investors and high net worth individuals for current and
future funds.
– Financial forecasts : The risk that any of the assumptions used in preparing the financial forecasts pertaining to this investor presentation may
not be achieved, such that the forecast distributions cannot be achieved.
– Pipeline of Development Opportunities: The development activities of CHC and the ability of CHC to secure suitable opportunities for
operations is dependent on the supply of appropriate property opportunities. A lack of supply of suitable opportunities or investor capital may
affect the performance and growth of CHC Limited’s Funds Management Division and Development Division.
– Insurance Risk : CHC and its managed funds maintain insurance coverage in respect of their properties and business. Some risks are not able
to be insured at acceptable prices. Insurance coverage may not be sufficient and if there is an event causing loss it may be that not all losses
will be recoverable.
– Litigation And Disputes : Legal and other disputes (including industrial disputes) may arise from time to time in the ordinary course of
operations. Any such dispute may impact on earnings or affect the value of CHC’s assets.

European Economic Area
This document has not been approved by the competent authority in a member state of the European Economic Area (a Member State) or, where appropriate,
approved in another Member State and notified to the competent authority of any other Member State in accordance with the Prospectus Directive. In relation to
each member state of the European Economic Area, which has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each a Relevant Member State), with effect from and
including the date on which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the Relevant Implementation Date) no offer of the Securities
and Entitlements to the public in that Relevant Member State has or will, except that, with effect from and including the Relevant Implementation Date, an offer of
Securities and Entitlements may be made to the public in that Relevant Member State:
• following the date of publication of a prospectus in relation to the Securities and Entitlements, which has been approved by the competent authority in
that Relevant Member State or, where appropriate, approved in another Relevant Member State and notified to the competent authority in that Relevant
Member State in accordance with the Prospectus Directive, in the period beginning and ending on the dates specified in such prospectus or final terms,
as applicable;
• at any time to legal entities which are authorised or regulated to operate in the financial markets or, if not so authorised or regulated, whose corporate
purpose is solely to invest in securities;
• at any time to any legal entity that has two or more of: (i) an average of at least 250 employees during the last financial year; (ii) a total balance sheet of
more than EUR 43,000,000 and (iii) an annual net turnover of more than EUR 50,000,000, as shown in its last annual or consolidated accounts;
• at any time to fewer than 100 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive); or
• in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospective Directive, provided that no such offer of Securities and Entitlements referred to in
(b) to (e) above shall require the Issuer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to
Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.
For the purposes of this provision, the expression an 'offer of Securities and Entitlements to the public' in relation to any Securities and Entitlements in any
Relevant Member State means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient information on the terms of the offer and the Securities and
Entitlements to be offered so as to enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Securities and Entitlements, as the same may be varied in that
Relevant Member State by any measure implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State, and the expression 'Prospectus Directive' means
Directive 2003/71/EC and includes any relevant implementing measure in each Relevant Member State.
Each subscriber for or purchaser of Securities and Entitlements in the offering located within a Relevant Member State will be deemed to have represented,
acknowledged and agreed that it is a qualified investor within the meaning of Article 2(1)(e) of the Prospectus Directive (Qualified Investor). In the case of any
Securities and Entitlements being offered to a financial intermediary as that term is used in Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive, such financial intermediary will
also be deemed to have represented, warranted to and agreed with the Underwriter and the Issuer that: (i) the Securities and Entitlements acquired by it have not
been acquired on behalf of, nor have they been acquired with a view to their offer or resale to, persons in any Relevant Member State other than Qualified
Investors, or in circumstances in which the prior consent of the Underwriter has been obtained to each such proposed offer or resale; or (ii) where Securities and
Entitlements have been acquired by it or on behalf of persons in any Relevant Member State other than Qualified Investors, the offer of those Securities and
Entitlements to it is not treated under the Prospectus Directive as having been made to such persons. The Issuer and the Underwriter, each of their respective
affiliates and others will rely upon the truth and accuracy of the foregoing representation, warranty and agreement. Notwithstanding the above, a person who is
not a Qualified Investor and who has notified the Issuer and the Underwriter of that fact in writing may, with the consent of the Issuer and the Underwriter, be
permitted to subscribe for or purchase Securities and Entitlements.
