Explanatory Memorandum

Resolution 1 – Ratification of Institutional Placement

On 27 April 2020, CQR announced that it would undertake an equity raising comprising a fully underwritten institutional placement to certain institutional, professional and other wholesale investors to raise approximately $275 million (the “ Institutional Placement ”) and a non-underwritten unit purchase plan to eligible Unitholders in Australia and New Zealand to raise up to $25 million (“ Unit Purchase Plan ”).

Units were offered under the Institutional Placement at the issue price of $2.90 per Unit. New Units issued under the Institutional Placement ranked equally with existing CQR Units from their date of issue and are entitled to the full distribution for the half year ending 30 June 2020.

On 28 April 2020, CQR announced the successful completion of the Institutional Placement.

The net proceeds of the Institutional Placement were used to strengthen CQR’s balance sheet and provide financial flexibility to enable continued execution of strategy. 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.

On 31 March 2020, ASX announced temporary capital raising relief recognising that many listed entities will need to raise capital due to the effects of the COVID-19 health crisis. ASX granted a temporary class waiver, the ASX Temporary Extra Placement Capacity Class Waiver (“ Class Waiver ”), to lift the 15% limit on placements in listing rule 7.1 to 25%, conditional on entities that avail themselves of the temporary extra placement capacity either making a follow-on pro rata entitlement offer or a follow-on offer to retail investors under an security purchase plan, in each case at the same or a lower price than the placement price. On 22 April 2020, ASX announced changes to the Class Waiver and issued a revised version, permitting entities to issue over any 12 month period up to 25% of the fully paid ordinary securities they have on issue at the start of that period rather than 15% subject to certain conditions being satisfied.

The Institutional Placement was conducted by CQR under the Class Waiver measures. A total of 94,827,587 Units (amounting to circa 20.35% of the number of Units on issue) were issued pursuant to the Institutional Placement (“ Institutional Placement Units ”). The first 69,909,067 Units of the Institutional Placement

Units constitute 15% of the total number of Units on issue (“ First 15% Institutional Placement Units ”), and thereby reduce CQR’s capacity to issue further Units under the 15% Limit. Accordingly, unless an exception otherwise applies, under Listing Rule 7.1, CQR will not be able to place any further Units in the next 12 months. However, if Resolution 1 is passed, the issue of the First 15% Institutional Placement Units under 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 under the First 15% Institutional Placement Units pursuant to the Institutional Placement will no longer reduce CQR’s capacity to issue Units under the 15% Limit.

The passing of Resolution 1 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 (although it may do so in the future).

The outcome of Resolution 1 will have no effect on the validity of the Institutional Placement.

Resolution 1 seeks the ratification by Unitholders of the First 15% Placement Units pursuant to the Institutional Placement so that they are not counted towards CQR’s 15% limit under Listing Rule 7.1. The outcome of this resolution will have no effect on the issue of the 69,909,067 Units under the Institutional Placement to certain institutional, professional and other wholesale investors as these have already been issued within CQR’s annual 15% limit prescribed by Listing Rule 7.1. In addition, the outcome of this resolution will have no effect on the issue of the remaining 24,918,520 Units under the Institutional Placement to certain institutional, professional and other wholesale investors as these were issued under the Class Waiver.

For the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5, details of the Institutional Placement are as set out below:

  • (i) Number of securities issued:

69,909,067 Units

  • (ii) Price at which securities were issued: $2.90 per Unit

  • (iii) The terms of the securities:

The 69,909,067 Units issued under the Institutional Placement ranked equally in all respects with existing Units quoted on

Charter Hall Retail REIT

7

ASX, from their issue on 1 May 2020 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 J.P. Morgan Securities Australia Limited and UBS AG, Australia Branch, the underwriters of the Institutional Placement

  • (v) Use (or intended use) of funds raised:

As announced to the ASX on 27 April 2020, the net proceeds of the Institutional Placement were used to strengthen CQR’s balance sheet and provide financial flexibility to enable continued execution of strategy.

If Resolution 1 is approved, Unitholders will ratify the issue of First 15% Institutional Placement Units under the Institutional Placement and preserve CQR’s capacity to issue Units within its annual 15% limit without counting the 69,909,067 First 15% Institutional Placement Units the subject of this Resolution 1 in the 12 months following their issue under Listing Rule 7.1, if required.

Directors’ recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that Unitholders vote in favour of this Resolution 1.
