ASX/MEDIA ANNOUNCEMENT

$75 MILLION GROUP DEBT FACILITY EXECUTED

Monday, 16 May 2011

Charter Hall Group (ASX:CHC) (the ‘Group’) today announced it has executed a $75 million corporate debt facility with Westpac Banking Corporation to provide greater liquidity and debt capacity for the Group to assist with working capital and to support new fund initiatives. The facility commences immediately and has a three year term at market pricing.

This new debt facility expands the existing strong relationship with Westpac that extends across a number of Charter Hall’s managed funds and enables early repayment of $33 million drawn against the Group’s existing $40 million facility. It will also allow cancellation of an undrawn $50 million facility that was established with Macquarie early in 2010.

Charter Hall Group Joint Managing Director, David Harrison, said: “As indicated at the time of announcing the last half year results, the Group will give consideration to taking on some balance sheet debt to fund investments, both direct and co-investments in managed funds, to pursue opportunities to grow the business as the property market recovers.”
