Explanatory Memorandum

Resolution 1 – Ratification of Institutional Placement

On 1 April 2019, CQR announced an equity raising comprising a fully underwritten institutional placement to certain institutional, professional and other wholesale investors to raise $150 million (the “ Institutional Placement ”) and a non-underwritten Unit Purchase Plan to eligible Unitholders in Australia and New Zealand to raise up to $10 million. The purpose of the Institutional Placement was to partially fund the acquisition of Rockdale Plaza, NSW which amounted to $142 million (excluding transaction costs).

  • (v) Use (or intended use) of funds raised: The proceeds of the Institutional Placement were used to partially fund the acquisition of Rockdale Plaza, NSW, as announced to the ASX on 1 April 2019.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Unitholders vote in favour of the Resolution.

On 2 April 2019, CQR announced the successful completion of the Institutional Placement, the details of which are set out below.

Listing Rule 7.1 generally limits the number of Units CQR may issue in any 12 month period to 15% of the number of Units on issue ( 15% Limit ). This limit does not apply to issues approved by the Unitholders or where an exception otherwise applies. 33,259,424 Institutional Placement Units (amounting to circa 8.22% of the number of Units on issue) were issued pursuant to, and thereby reduced, CQR’s capacity to issue further Units under the 15% Limit. Accordingly, unless an exception otherwise applies, under Listing Rule 7.1, CQR will only able to place a further 27,396,763 Units (circa 6.78% of the total number of Units on issue) in the next 12 months. However, if the Resolution is passed, the Institutional Placement will be treated as having been made with Unitholder approval for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1. This means that the Units issued pursuant to the Institutional Placement will no longer reduce CQR’s capacity to issue Units under the 15% Limit.

The passing of the Resolution will provide CQR with maximum flexibility to manage its future capital requirements in the best interests of Unitholders. CQR has no current plan to raise further capital apart from the proposed issue of the Units under the Unit Purchase Plan (although it may do so in the future).

The outcome of the Resolution will have no effect on the validity of the Institutional Placement.

Details of the Institutional Placement are as follows:

  • (i) Number of Units issued: 33,259,424 Units

  • (ii) Price at which Units were issued: $4.51 per Unit

  • (iii) The terms of the securities:

The 33,259,424 Units issued under the Institutional Placement rank equally in all respects with existing Units, from their issue on 5 April 2019 and subsequent quotation by the ASX.

  • (iv) The name of the allottees:

The Units were issued to certain institutional, professional and other wholesale investors who were identified by UBS AG, the underwriter of the Institutional Placement.
