Disclaimer

Except as required by law, no representation or warranty, express or implied, is made as to the fairness, accuracy or completeness of the information, opinions and conclusions, or as to the reasonableness of any assumption, contained in this presentation.

The pro forma historical financial information included in this presentation is based on certain assumptions and accounting policies and is subject to certain risks, and does not purport to be in compliance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X of the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Investors should also be aware that certain financial data included in this presentation are “non-GAAP financial measures” under Regulation G of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The disclosure of such non-GAAP financial measures in the manner included in this presentation would not be permissible in a registration statement under the Securities Act. These nonGAAP financial measures do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards and therefore may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other entities, nor should they be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards. In addition, such measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. Although the Group believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to users in measuring the financial performance and condition of the business, investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any non-GAAP financial measures and ratios included in this presentation.

This presentation contains statements that constitute “forward looking statements”. Examples of these forward looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements of plans, objectives or goals and statements of assumptions underlying those statements. Words such as “may”, “will”, “expect”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “continue”, “probability”, “risk” and other similar words are intended to identify forward looking statements but are not the exclusive means of identifying those statements. By their very nature, forward looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, both general and specific, and risks exist that such predictions, forecasts, projections and other forward looking statements will not be achieved. A number of important factors could cause the Group’s actual results to differ materially from the plans, objectives, expectations, estimates and intentions expressed in such forward looking statements. As such, undue influence should not be placed on any forward looking statement.

This presentation is not, and does not constitute, an offer to sell or the solicitation, invitation or recommendation to purchase any securities and neither this presentation nor anything contained herein shall form the basis of any contract or commitment. In particular, this presentation does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy, securities in the United States or to any “U.S. person” (within the meaning of Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)) (“U.S. Person”). This document may not be distributed or released in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any U.S. Person. The securities in the proposed Placement discussed herein may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of any, U.S. Person except (1) in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act and any other applicable securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, such registration requirements and (2) in transactions that will allow Charter Hall Group to qualify, and to continue to qualify, for the exception provided by Section 3(c)(7) of the U.S. Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”).

Each individual or institution that reviews this presentation that is in the United States or that is, or is acting for the account or benefit of, a U.S. Person, will be deemed to represent that such entity (and any person on whose behalf such entity is acting) is both a “qualified institutional buyer” within the meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act and a “qualified purchaser” as defined in Section 2(a)(51) of the Investment Company Act. Each such person will also be deemed to acknowledge and agree that it will not copy, forward, deliver or distribute this presentation, electronically or otherwise, to any other person. If you are unable to provide the foregoing representations, warranties and agreements, please do not read this presentation. Please return it immediately to the Group and destroy or delete any copies.

By reading this presentation and to the extent permitted by law, the reader releases each entity in the Group and its affiliates, and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, representatives or advisers from any liability (including, without limitation, in respect of direct, indirect or consequential loss or damage or loss or damage arising by negligence) arising in relation to any reader relying on anything contained in or omitted from this presentation.
