Dear Ms Wigneswaran

Charter Hall Office REIT (“CQO”)

We enclose a Form 604 (Notice of Change of Interests of a Substantial Holder) for Charter Hall Funds Management Limited (CHFML) in relation to Charter Hall Office REIT (CQO).

As previously announced to the ASX, the voting agreement in clause 8.5(c) of the Unit Transfer Agreement between CHFML and Macquarie Bank Limited (MBL) dated 12 February 2010 (Unit Transfer Agreement) gave rise to a technical association between CHFML and MBL for the purposes of section 12 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). This meant that CHFML was required to disclose in any substantial holding notice given by CHFML in relation to CQO securities, the relevant interest that MBL had in CQO securities.

The voting agreement in clause 8.5(c) of the Unit Transfer Agreement expired on 12 February 2011, which means that there is no longer a technical association between CHFML and MBL and that CHFML is no longer required to disclose the relevant interest that MBL has in CQO securities, in respect of that technical association, in any substantial holding notice given by CHFML in relation to those securities.

Accordingly, the Form 604 now relates only to CHFML's relevant interest in CQO, which comprises 43.2 million CQO securities held by CHFML and 29.4 million CQO securities, held by MBL over which CHFML has a first right of refusal under the Unit Transfer Agreement. The first right of refusal is not subject to an expiry date.

CHFML's current relevant interest in CQO, including securities over which CHFML has a first right of refusal is 14.71% (8.75% excluding the securities over which it has a first right of refusal).

Yours faithfully
