Chairman’s letter
12 February 2010
Dear Securityholder,
Not for distribution or release in the United States or to U.S. Persons.
Charter Hall Group’s strategic Acquisition and Equity Raising
On behalf of the Charter Hall Group (Charter Hall), it gives me great pleasure to confirm that Charter Hall has agreed to acquire the majority of Macquarie Group Limited’s (Macquarie) core real estate management platform (the Platform). The transaction involves Charter Hall acquiring the management business associated with two listed and three unlisted real estate funds for $108 million and the majority of Macquarie’s holding in three of these funds for $189 million (the Acquisition).
The Acquisition is an important step for Charter Hall and will position Charter Hall as one of Australia’s largest specialist real estate fund managers with exposure to listed, wholesale and unlisted retail equity sources. The Platform complements Charter Hall’s existing operations, delivering a vertically integrated business which is well resourced with up to 155 executives who will continue to provide management services across the full spectrum of real estate investment and development activities.
The Acquisition is expected to deliver immediate financial benefits and substantial strategic benefits to Charter Hall and its Securityholders:
-
Charter Hall’s scale of operations will increase significantly, with its assets under management increasing to over $10 billion;
-
the Acquisition will further diversify Charter Hall’s equity and income sources – providing access to listed equity and significantly increased exposure to core funds;
-
high quality, well resourced platform will enhance Charter Hall’s existing expertise and ensure continuity of management; and
-
Securityholders are forecast to benefit from FY2011 underlying EPS accretion of 18%.
In connection with the Acquisition, I am pleased to invite Eligible Retail Securityholders to participate in a 2 for 5 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer of Charter Hall New Securities at the Offer Price of $0.65 per New Security (the Retail Entitlement Offer). This invitation is part of a broader Equity Raising announced on 12 February 2010, which is comprised of:
-
a fully underwritten, $195 million Entitlement Offer at $0.65 per New Security comprising:
-
a Retail Entitlement Offer of approximately $59 million; and
-
an Institutional Entitlement Offer of approximately $137 million;
-
a fully underwritten Institutional Placement of approximately $25 million to existing Institutional Securityholders at $0.70 per New Security; and
-
an $85 million placement to Macquarie at $0.70 per New Security as partial consideration for the sale of the Platform.
Acquisition overview
Charter Hall has agreed to purchase a platform that provides fund and property management services to the following two listed and three unlisted real estate funds:
-
Macquarie Office Trust (MOF);
-
Macquarie Countrywide Trust (MCW);
-
Macquarie Direct Property Fund (MDPF);
-
Macquarie Martin Place Trust (MMPT); and
-
Macquarie Property Income Fund (MPIF).
The total consideration for the management business is $108 million, representing a 7.7x FY2011 EBIT multiple. In addition, there is a $15 million deferred consideration payment that is subject to an earn-out.
Charter Hall has also agreed to acquire co-investment holdings in three real estate funds (7.5% in MOF and MCW, and 3.5% in MDPF) for a total consideration of $189 million. The purchase price of the co-investments is approximately at market price, representing a 23% discount to NTA as at 31 December 2009. Charter Hall has an indefinite first right of refusal over Macquarie’s remaining units representing 6% in MOF and 4% in MCW.

Australian taxation implications
Set out below is a summary of the Australian tax implications of the Retail Entitlement Offer for Eligible Retail Securityholders who are residents of Australia for tax purposes and who hold their Securities as capital assets. The summary below does not necessarily apply to Eligible Retail Securityholders who hold their Securities as assets used in carrying on a business or who may carry on the business of security trading, banking or insurance. The summary below does not necessarily apply to Eligible Retail Securityholders whose Securities are held through an employee security plan or whose Securities are held as revenue assets or trading stock.
The summary below also does not take account of any individual circumstances of any particular Eligible Retail Securityholder. Eligible Retail Securityholders should seek specific advice applicable to their own particular circumstances from their own financial or tax advisers.
The summary below is based on the law in effect as at the date of this Offer Booklet.
Issue of Entitlements
Disclaimer of representations
No person is authorised to give any information, or to make any representation, in connection with the Entitlement Offer that is not contained in this Offer Booklet.
Any information or representation that is not in this Offer Booklet may not be relied on as having been authorised by Charter Hall, the Joint Lead Managers or their respective related bodies corporate in connection with the Entitlement Offer. Except as required by law, and only to the extent so required, none of Charter Hall, or any other person, warrants or guarantees the future performance of Charter Hall or any return on any investment made pursuant to this Offer Booklet.
Subject to the qualifications noted above, the issue of the Entitlements will not itself result in any amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Retail Securityholder.
Exercise of Entitlements
Eligible Retail Securityholders who exercise their Entitlements and are allocated New Securities and, in Charter Hall’s absolute discretion, Additional New Securities, will acquire those Securities with a cost base for capital gains tax purposes equal to the Offer Price payable by them for those Securities plus any non-deductible incidental costs they incur in acquiring them, but will not make any capital gain or loss, or assessable income, from exercising the Entitlements or subscribing for the New Securities or Additional New Securities.
Expiration of Entitlements
The expiration of Entitlements under the Retail Entitlement Offer will not itself result in any amount being included in the assessable income of an Eligible Retail Securityholder.
14
New Securities
Eligible Retail Securityholders who exercise their Entitlements will acquire New Securities and, in Charter Hall’s absolute discretion, Additional New Securities (as applicable). Any future dividends or other distributions made in respect of those New Securities and Additional New Securities will be subject to the same taxation treatment as dividends or other distributions made on Securities held in the same circumstances.
On any future disposal of New Securities and Additional New Securities, Eligible Retail Securityholders may make a capital gain or capital loss, depending on whether the capital proceeds of that disposal are more than the cost base or less than the reduced cost base of the New Securities and Additional New Securities. The cost base of those Securities is described above.
New Securities will be treated for the purposes of the capital gains tax discount as having been acquired when the Eligible Retail Securityholder exercised the Entitlement to subscribe for them. Additional New Securities will be treated for the purposes of the capital gains tax discount as having been acquired when Charter Hall issues or allots those Additional New Securities. Accordingly, in order to benefit from the capital gains tax discount in respect of a disposal of those Securities, they must have been held for at least 12 months after those dates before the disposal occurs.
Other Australian taxes
No Australian Goods and Services Tax or stamp duty is payable in respect of the grant or exercise of the Entitlements or the acquisition of New Securities and Additional New Securities.
Rounding of Entitlements
Where fractions arise in the calculation of Entitlements, they will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Securities.
Source of information regarding the Platform and the Combined Group
The information regarding the Platform and the Combined Group contained in this Offer Booklet has been derived from limited audited and unaudited financial information and other information made available by or on behalf of Macquarie during the due diligence process conducted by Charter Hall in connection with the Acquisition.
While Charter Hall has conducted due diligence on the Platform, Charter Hall is unable to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided to it by or on behalf of Macquarie and there is no assurance that this due diligence was conclusive and that all material issues and risks in relation to the Acquisition and the Platform have been identified. To the extent that this information is incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate or misleading, there is a risk that the profitability and future results of the operations of the Combined Group may differ (including in a materially adverse way) from Charter Hall’s expectations as reflected in this Offer Booklet, or that additional liabilities may emerge.
Due to the timing of the Acquisition, financial information relating the Platform’s half year financial information to 31 December 2009 has not been subject to the same degree of due diligence as was undertaken on the 2008 and 2009 financial year information. Consequently, a greater degree of caution should be exercised when assessing the half year financial information to 31 December 2009 relating to the Platform.
See the “Summary of key risks” in this section of the Offer Booklet and the “Key risks” in Appendix E of the enclosed Investor Presentation for a discussion of some of the key risks associated with the Acquisition, including those risks associated with the reliance on the information provided to Charter Hall by Macquarie.
Defined words and expressions
Reconciliation
Investors may believe that they own more existing securities on the Record Date than they ultimately do. This may result in a need for reconciliation to ensure all eligible Securityholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement. If reconciliation is required, it is possible that Charter Hall may need to issue a small quantity of additional securities (Top-Up Stapled Securities) to ensure all Eligible Institutional Securityholders and Eligible Retail Securityholders have the opportunity to receive their full Entitlement. The price at which these Top-Up Stapled Securities will be issued will be the same as the Offer Price.
Charter Hall also reserves the right to reduce the number of New Securities allocated to eligible securityholders or persons claiming to be eligible securityholders if their Entitlement claims prove to be overstated, or if they or their nominees fail to provide information requested to substantiate their Entitlement claims, or if they are indeed not eligible securityholders.
Some words and expressions used in this Offer Booklet have defined meanings, which are explained in the Glossary at the back of this Offer Booklet.
A reference to time in this Offer Booklet is to AEDT, unless otherwise stated. All financial amounts in this Offer Booklet are expressed in Australian currency unless otherwise stated.

Governing law
This Offer Booklet and the contracts which arise on acceptance of the Entitlement and Acceptance Forms are governed by the law applicable in New South Wales, Australia and each applicant submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales, Australia.
Summary of key risks
The following sets out some of the key risks associated with the Acquisition:
-
Transaction Completion risk : Completion of the transfer of the shares in each of the various management companies being acquired by Charter Hall is subject to a number of conditions beyond the control of Charter Hall, and will not occur while those conditions remain unsatisfied. A delay in these transfers would extend the term of the applicable Transitional Services Deeds (see “Transitional Structure risk” below).
-
Reliance on information provided : Charter Hall has relied on information provided to it by Macquarie in assessing the Acquisition, but is unable to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided to it. Consequently, Charter Hall cannot be certain that all material issues and risks associated with the Acquisition have been identified and avoided or managed appropriately.
-
Transitional Structure risk : One or more
of the Transitional Services Deeds which the responsible entities within the Platform are party to may be terminated prior to the transfer of that responsible entity’s shares to Charter Hall, depriving Charter Hall of the management fees payable to it under those deeds. In addition, key management personnel currently employed within the Platform by Macquarie may choose not to accept offers of employment from Charter Hall, resulting in the loss of management expertise.
◆ Change of control risk : Certain contracts, permits and licences which Charter Hall proposes to acquire the benefit of are subject to a number of conditions beyond the control of Charter Hall. If any of those contracts is terminated upon a change of control or if any required consents or approvals for assignment are not able to be obtained from third parties, Charter Hall may be prevented from purchasing some of the assets or businesses of the Platform or may lose the benefit of the relevant contract, permit or licence.
Please see Appendix E of the enclosed Investor Presentation for a more detailed description of these and other risks you should consider before making an investment decision.
-
Assumption of the Platform’s liabilities : The representations, warranties and indemnities provided by Macquarie to Charter Hall in relation to the Acquisition may not be sufficient to cover the actual loss suffered in connection with any known or unknown liabilities of the Platform assumed by Charter Hall.
-
Replacement of responsible entities : The responsible entities of the funds within the Platform may be removed by the unitholders of the funds which they manage in accordance with the Corporations Act . If that were to occur, Charter Hall would no longer obtain the management fees payable to the responsible entity of the relevant fund.
-
Integration risk : The integration of the Platform into Charter Hall’s current operations may encounter unexpected challenges or issues. Among other undesirable outcomes, the process could divert management’s attention, interrupt the momentum of one or more of the businesses or result in the loss of key personnel.

Pro forma adjustments include: – Receipt of $305 million proceeds from the issue of 457 million securities through the Equity Raising
-
Equity raising expenses and write off of Acquisition costs resulting in a reduction in net assets of $13 million
Best-estimate Assumptions
- The pro forma Balance Sheet and forecast Income Statements are based on the following best-estimate assumptions in relation to future events and actions
Net property income
-
Comprises rental income from CPRF and recoverable outgoings charged to tenants less property expenses
-
The main assumptions underlying the net property income are: – Income increases in accordance with lease provisions. Rental receipts have increases of between 3% and 4% per annum during the forecast period
-
Allowances have been made for leasing costs, vacancy periods and lease incentives during the forecast period.
-
There are no tenant defaults during the forecast period
-
– Property expenses have been forecast based on the existing contracts, assumptions for future costs and are assumed to increase by CPI each year, which is assumed to be 3.5%
-
Co-investment income Co-investment income is based on CHC management's forecast of CHC's share of earnings in each of MOF, MCW and MDPF
Development investment income
- Development investment income is based on CHC's management's estimate of CHC's share of earnings in each of CHOF4 , CHOF5 and CIP
Funds management income
-
Base management fees payable to CHC are linked to the value of the gross assets. Base management fees have been calculated assuming that the value of gross assets remains constant at the values as at 31 December 2009, except for assumed acquisitions of $340 million in FY11 in the Funds
-
Performance fees - There are no performance fees assumed to be payable
-
Development management fees are largely based on identified projects assuming project values based on management feasibility studies

Purchase price allocation
-
Accounting Standard AASB3 “Business Combinations” requires CHC to allocate the Acquisition consideration by recognising the assets (including identifiable intangible assets), liabilities and contingent liabilities of the management business at their fair values at Completion
-
Any differences between the Acquisition consideration and net fair value of identifiable assets and intangible assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the management business is accounted for as goodwill
-
Recognised identifiable intangible assets with finite lives (e.g. contracts, management rights) are amortised over their estimated useful economic lives. The goodwill and identifiable intangible assets recognised will be subject to periodic impairment testing
-
The preliminary allocations of the Purchase Price have resulted as follows:
-
Assets and liabilities have been recorded at a preliminary assessment of their fair value
-
Identifiable intangible assets and goodwill of $119.3 million recognised; and
-
Liability of $11.3 million representing CHC’s estimate of the present value of the earn-out payable in relation to the offshore platform
-
Australian Accounting Standards allow a period of twelve months from Completion to finalise the Purchase Price allocation and it is likely that the final Purchase Price allocation will be different to the preliminary Purchase Price allocation

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 global 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.

Appendix E Key risks
-
General risks affecting CHC (continued)
-
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 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 court 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.

Specific risks associated with the Acquisition
– Completion risk : Completion of the transfer of the shares in the management entities being acquired by CHC are subject to a number of
conditions beyond CHC’s direct control that may prevent or delay such transfer, including a number of change of control consents and regulatory
requirements. It is possible that these consents or satisfaction of these requirements may be substantially delayed, not be forthcoming or subject
to material conditions. A delay in any transfer would extend the term of the relevant transitional services fee (see Transitional Structure risk).
– Reliance on information provided: Information regarding the Platform has been derived from limited audited and unaudited financial
information and other information made available by or on behalf of Macquarie during the due diligence process conducted by CHC in
connection with the Acquisition. While CHC has conducted due diligence on the Platform and prepared a detailed financial analysis in order to
determine the attractiveness of those businesses, CHC is unable to verify the accuracy or completeness of the information provided to it by or on
behalf of Macquarie and there is no assurance that this due diligence was conclusive and that all material issues and risks in relation to the
Acquisition and the Platform have been identified. To the extent that this information is incomplete, incorrect, inaccurate or misleading, or the
actual results achieved by the Platform are weaker than those indicated by CHC’s analysis and forecasts, there is a risk that the profitability and
future results of the operations of the Combined Group may differ from CHC’s expectations.
– Reliance on forecasts: In addition to the potential that the information provided by the Macquarie and relied upon was incorrect, it is possible
that analysis undertaken by CHC and the best estimate assumption draws conclusions and forecasts which are inaccurate due to flawed
methodology and/or misinterpretation of economic circumstances.
– Assumption of the Platform’s liabilities: On Completion, CHC will assume the liabilities of the Platform, including legal and regulatory
liabilities, against which it may not be adequately indemnified. While documentation in relation to the Acquisition contains a number of
representations, warranties and indemnities, these indemnities may not be sufficient to cover the actual loss suffered in connection with any
known or unknown liabilities of the Platform. The result is that representations and warranties may not cover all risks, and that CHC may not be
able to recover any or sufficient funds from Macquarie under the indemnities. Any material unsatisfied claims could adversely affect the
Combined Group’s business, results of operations or financial condition and performance.
– Replacement of responsible entities: The responsible entities of MOF, MCW, MDPF, MMPT and MPIF, may be removed as responsible entity
by the unitholders of those Funds in accordance with the Corporations Act. If that was to occur, CHC would no longer obtain the management
fees payable to the responsible entity of the relevant Fund (the fees would instead be paid to the replacement responsible entity). There can be
no assurance that unitholders in these Funds will not seek to replace one or more of the responsible entities. If one or more of the responsible
entities is replaced, there is a risk that the profitability and future results of the operations of the Combined Group may differ from CHC’s
Charter Hall Group expectations.

Specific risks associated with the Acquisition (continued)
– Change of control risk: Some of the contracts that entities within the Platform are a party to contain change of control clauses which may
entitle the counterparty to terminate the contract upon Completion. The Acquisition documentation contains conditions precedent that require
that all relevant change of control consents be obtained before Completion can occur. Macquarie may also need to obtain approvals from third
parties before it is able to assign to CHC certain contracts to which it is a party. If any such consents or approvals are not able to be obtained,
this could prevent CHC from purchasing some of the assets or businesses that it proposes to acquire and/or result in the Combined Group
losing the benefit of the relevant contract, permit or licence, any of which could adversely affect the Combined Group’s business, results of
operations or financial condition and performance.
– Integration risk: The Acquisition involves the integration of businesses that have previously operated independently. The long term success of
the Combined Group will depend, in part, on the success of integration of the Platform and CHC’s current operations. The integration process
will involve, among other things, coordinating geographically separated organisations, integrating complex information technology systems,
integrating personnel with diverse business backgrounds and combining different corporate and workplace cultures. There is an inherent risk
that the integration of a recently acquired business may encounter unexpected challenges or issues. The process of integrating operations
could, among other things, divert management’s attention, interrupt or lose momentum in the activities of one or more of the businesses and
could result in the loss of key personnel. Any of these outcomes could have an adverse effect on the Combined Group’s business, results of
operations or financial condition and performance.
– Transitional Structure: During the period prior to transfer of the shares in the management entities of the Platform those entities will continue to
be owned by Macquarie. Under the Transitional Services Deeds, each of those entities appoints CHC to provide it with management services in
respect of the relevant underlying Funds. In return, the entity will pay CHC the fees to which it is entitled from those Funds. Risks associated
with this Transitional Structure include the fact that one or more of the Transitional Services Deeds may be terminated (including upon the
unitholders replacing the management entity).
– Key Personnel: Key management personnel currently employed by Macquarie who provide management services to the entities, and who
receive offers of employment from CHC, may either not accept those offers, or otherwise resign their employment during the transitional period,
resulting in a loss of management expertise.

Specific Risks for the Combined Group
-
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 of 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 $44 million relating to deferred equity investments in CHOF 5, CPOF and CPIF, which will need to be funded in the event the equity is called. In addition, CHC has committed to up to $15 million for a cornerstone investment in the CHC-managed 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).

Appendix E
Key risks
Specific Risks for the Combined Group (continued)
-
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 that change in value does not impact on CHC’s underlying earnings or distributions, it does impact on CHC’s net profit after tax. In addition, a change in CHC’s gross asset value will impact the management fee income earned and in turn, 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.

----- Start of picture text -----
– 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.

11 February 2010
Dear Directors
Investigating Accountant’s Report on Historical and Forecast Financial Information and Financial Services Guide
We have prepared this report on certain historical and forecast financial information of Charter Hall Group and its controlled entities (the Charter Hall Group ) for inclusion in a retail entitlement booklet dated on or about 11 February 2010 (the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet ) relating to a proposed accelerated (low document) non-renounceable entitlement offer (the Rights Issue ) and an institutional placement (the Placement , and together with the Rights Issue, the Offer ) of stapled securities in Charter Hall Group.
In this report, Charter Hall Group refers to both Charter Hall Funds Management Limited (as responsible entity for Charter Hall Property Trust) and Charter Hall Limited, together or separately as the context requires, and the Combined Group refers to Charter Hall Group after the completion of the proposed transactions as described on page 50 and 51 of the Investor Presentation included within the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet.
Expressions defined in the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet have the same meaning in this report.
The nature of this report is such that it should be given by an entity which holds an Australian financial services licence under the Corporations Act 2001. PricewaterhouseCoopers Securities Ltd, which is wholly owned by PricewaterhouseCoopers, holds the appropriate Australian financial services licence. This report is both an Investigating Accountant’s Report, the scope of which is set out below, and a Financial Services Guide, as attached at Appendix A.
==> picture [14 x 13] intentionally omitted <==
62
Scope
We refer to the following information disclosed on pages 34 and 35 of the Investor Presentation included within the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet:
Historical financial information
- (a) the pro forma balance sheet of the Combined Group as at 31 December 2009 which comprises the actual balance sheet of the Charter Hall Group as at 31 December 2009 adjusted for the completion of the proposed transactions as if those transactions had completed as at 31 December 2009 disclosed on page 50 of Investor Presentation included within the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet (the Pro Forma Transactions ), (the Historical Financial Information )
Forecast financial information
-
(b) the forecast income statements of the Charter Hall Group for the year ending 30 June 2010 and the year ending 30 June 2011
-
(c) the forecast income statement of the Combined Group for the year ending 30 June 2011 assuming completion of the Pro Forma Transactions at 1 April 2009 (together the Forecasts ) disclosed on page 34 of the Investor Presentation included within the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet.
The Charter Hall Group has requested PricewaterhouseCoopers Securities Ltd to prepare this investigating accountant’s report (the Report ) covering
-
the Historical Financial Information, and
-
the Forecasts but excluding any consideration of the earnings from the acquisition by the Charter Hall Group of equity stakes in Macquarie Office Fund, Macquarie Countrywide Trust and Macquarie Direct Property Fund (collectively the Coinvestments) .
This Report therefore contains a limitation of scope in respect of our review of the Forecasts, which was undertaken with the exception of earnings arising from the acquisition of the Co-investments.
This Report has been prepared for inclusion in the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet. We disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this Report, or on the Historical Financial Information or the Forecasts to which this Report relates, for any purposes other than the purpose for which it was prepared.
Scope of review of Historical Financial Information
The actual balance sheet of the Charter Hall Group set out on page 35 of the Investor Presentation included within the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet has been extracted from the reviewed financial statements of the Charter Hall Group for the half year ended 31 December 2009. The financial statements were reviewed by PricewaterhouseCoopers who issued an unqualified review

Investigating Accountant’s Report continued
statement on them. The Historical Financial Information incorporates such pro forma transactions and adjustments as the Directors of the Charter Hall Group considered necessary to present the Historical Financial Information on a basis consistent with the Forecasts. The Directors of the Charter Hall Group are responsible for the preparation of the Historical Financial Information, including the determination of the Pro Forma Transactions and adjustments.
We have conducted our review of the Historical Financial Information in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to review engagements. We made such inquiries and performed such procedures as we, in our professional judgement, considered reasonable in the circumstances including:
-
a review of work papers, accounting records and other documents
-
a review of the adjustments made to the Historical Financial Information
-
a review of the assumptions (which include the Pro Forma Transactions) used to compile the Historical Financial Information.
-
a comparison of consistency in application of the recognition and measurement principles under Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by the Charter Hall Group, and
-
enquiry of Directors, management and others in relation to the Historical Financial Information.
These procedures do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, thus the level of assurance provided is less than given in an audit. We have not performed an audit and, accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion on the Historical Financial Information.
Review statement on Historical Financial Information
Based on our review of the Historical Financial Information, which is not an audit, except for the limitations of scope described below, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that:
-
the Historical Financial Information has not been properly prepared on the basis of the Pro Forma Transactions
-
the Pro Forma Transactions do not form a reasonable basis for the Historical Financial Information
-
the Historical Financial Information, as set out on page 35 of the Investor Presentation included within the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet, does not present fairly the actual balance sheet of the Charter Hall Group as at 31 December 2009 and the pro forma balance sheet of the Combined Group as at 31 December 2009, assuming completion of the Pro Forma Transactions

in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles prescribed under Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies adopted by the Charter Hall Group.
Scope of review of Forecasts
The Directors of the Charter Hall Group are responsible for the preparation and presentation of the Forecasts, including the best estimate assumptions (which include the Pro Forma Transactions) on which they are based.
Our review of the best estimate assumptions underlying the Forecasts (with the exception of the limitation in scope referred to below) was conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to review engagements. Our procedures consisted primarily of enquiry and comparison and other such analytical review procedures as we considered necessary to form an opinion as to whether anything has come to our attention which causes us to believe that (except in respect of earnings arising from the acquisition of the Co-investments):
-
(a) the best estimate assumptions underlying the Forecasts do not provide a reasonable basis for the Forecasts;
-
(b) in all material respects, the Forecasts are not properly prepared on the basis of the best estimate assumptions and presented fairly in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles prescribed in Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies of the Charter Hall Group; or
-
(c) the Forecasts are unreasonable.
The Forecasts have been prepared by the Directors of the Charter Hall Group to provide investors with a guide to the Combined Group’s potential future financial performance based upon the achievement of certain economic, operating, development and trading assumptions about future events and actions that have not yet occurred and may not necessarily occur. There is a considerable degree of subjective judgement involved in the preparation of Forecasts. Actual results may vary materially from the Forecasts and the variation may be materially positive or negative. Accordingly, investors should have regard to the description of investment risks set out in Appendix E of the Investor Presentation included within the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet.
Our review of the Forecasts and the best estimate assumptions upon which the Forecasts are based is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards. A review of this nature provides less assurance than an audit. We have not performed an audit and we do not express an audit opinion on the Forecasts included in the Investor Presentation included within the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet.

Limitations of scope of review of the Historical Financial Information and Forecasts
Co - Investments
At Charter Hall’s request, our review of the Forecasts did not include any consideration of the forecast earnings from the proposed acquisition by Charter Hall Group of the Co-investments as set out in the equity raising and adjustment column of the pro forma balance sheet set out on page 35 of the I nvestor Presentation included within the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet. Charter Hall Group have requested this limitation to the scope of our review based on the extent of work undertaken by Charter Hall Group senior management on this aspect of the Forecasts.
Purchase Price Adjustments
In preparing the Historical Financial Information, only preliminary adjustments have been made to the fair values of acquired assets and liabilities in accordance with AASB 3 Business Combinations as described on page 53 of the Investor Presentation included within the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet.
Accordingly, the Historical Financial Information does not necessarily contain all of the adjustments to the reported amounts of assets and liabilities that will be required to reflect their values. Consequently, the Forecasts do not necessarily reflect the amortisation charges that would be required had final fair value adjustments been undertaken.
Review statement on the Forecasts
Based on our review of the Forecasts, which is not an audit, except for the limitation of scope described above, nothing has come to our attention which causes us to believe that:
-
(a) the best estimate assumptions set out in Appendix C of the Investor Presentation included within the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet do not provide a reasonable basis for the Forecasts;
-
(b) in all material respects, the Forecasts are not properly prepared on the basis of the best estimate assumptions and presented fairly in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles prescribed in Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting requirements in Australia, and the accounting policies of the Charter Hall Group; or
-
(a) the Forecasts are unreasonable.
For the avoidance of doubt, our review did not include any consideration of the forecast earnings from the proposed acquisition by Charter Hall Group of the Co-investments, and no opinion is expressed in respect of them.
The best estimate assumptions set out in Section Appendix C of the Investor Presentation included within the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies

often outside the control of the Charter Hall Group. If events do not occur as assumed, actual results and distributions achieved by the Combined Group may vary significantly from the Forecasts. Accordingly, we do not confirm or guarantee the achievement of the Forecasts, as future events, by their very nature, are not capable of independent substantiation
Subsequent events
Apart from the matters dealt with in this Report, and having regard to the scope of our Report, to the best of our knowledge and belief no material transactions or events outside of the ordinary course of business of the Combined Group have come to our attention that would require comment on, or adjustment to, the information referred to in our Report or that would cause such information to be misleading or deceptive.
Independence or disclosure of interest
PricewaterhouseCoopers Securities Ltd does not have any interest in the outcome of the Offer other than the preparation of this Report and the undertaking of certain due diligence procedures for which normal professional fees will be received.
Liability
PricewaterhouseCoopers Securities Ltd has consented to the inclusion of this Report in the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet in the form and context in which it is included. The liability of PricewaterhouseCoopers Securities Ltd is limited to the inclusion of this Report in the Retail Entitlement Offer Booklet.

2 Material contracts in relation to the Acquisition
2.1 Macquarie Placement Agreement
Under the Macquarie Placement Agreement, Macquarie will subscribe for 10% of Charter Hall’s securities, as determined following the Equity Raising. Macquarie has the right to appoint a Board member if it holds 15% or more of Charter Hall’s issued securities (excluding securities already held) and undertakes that the appointed Board member will resign if Macquarie holds less than 10% of Charter Hall’s issued securities (excluding securities already held). $10 million in value of Macquarie’s holding of Charter Hall’s issued securities will be held in escrow until all of the consents set out in the Share Sale Agreement are obtained.
2.2 Share Sale Agreement
Charter Hall will acquire from Macquarie the shares in MOML, MCML, MDPML, MASL, MREEL and associated offshore entities, and the management business in relation to MOF, MCW, MDPF, MMPT and MPIF from Macquarie for $108 million. An additional payment of up to $15 million may be made under the Share Sale Agreement in three years subject to an earn-out. The conditions precedent to the Share Sale Agreement include Charter Hall receiving the proceeds payable to it under the Underwriting Agreement and the Macquarie Placement Agreement, and Macquarie providing to Charter Hall an approved term sheet in relation to a Macquarie debt facility. The conditions precedent to the completion of the sale and purchase of shares in each of MOML, MCML and MDPML include obtaining a number of consents and approvals as set out in schedule 8 to the Share Sale Agreement and amending all agreements related to those consents.
-
the Underwriters will be remunerated by Charter Hall for providing these services at market rates; and

if 70% of the revenue related to the interests and operations of MCW and MOF outside Australia, New Zealand and Japan exceeds $15 million within three years of the Transaction Completion Date, then Charter Hall must pay a fee referable to that excess to Macquarie, but capped at $15 million.
following the agreement to any party other than Charter Hall, subject to the first right of refusal granted to Charter Hall. Each of Charter Hall and Macquarie gives market-standard warranties under this agreement.
In respect of any units in MCW or MOF that Macquarie holds in a personal capacity as at the date of the Unit Transfer Agreement, Macquarie undertakes to use its voting rights in respect of those units to vote against any resolution to remove MCML or MOML as the responsible entities of MCW and MOF, respectively.
3 Interests of Macquarie

-
as vendors under the Share Sale Agreement (see section 7.2.2);

The fee payable to Charter Hall under the terms of the Transitional Services Deeds is equal to the base fee payable to the relevant responsible entity under the terms of the associated head trust constitution, less any costs reasonably incurred by the relevant responsible entity.

Charter Hall will provide the services under each Transitional Services Deed from the Employment Date to the date of completion of the sale and purchase of the shares in the relevant responsible entity under the Share Sale Agreement.
