31 January 2008

Dear Property Preference Shareholder,

REDEMPTION OF PROPERTY PREFERENCE SHARES

Cromwell Corporation Limited ( Cromwell ) wishes to advise that it will redeem all Cromwell Property Preference Shares ( PPS ) (ASX code: CMWPA) on issue, on Monday, 25 February 2008.

The final day of trading in PPS on ASX is expected to be 18 February 2008.

In conjunction with the establishment of the Cromwell Group in late 2006 and as a condition of the listing of the Cromwell Diversified Property Trust on ASX, Cromwell made an undertaking to the ASX to redeem all PPS on the expiry of 2 years from the last issue of PPS in accordance with their terms of issue. PPS holders were notified of this undertaking by a letter dated 6 November 2006. Terms of this undertaking were also disclosed in section 22.6 of the Explanatory Memorandum issued by Cromwell and Cromwell Property Securities Limited dated 30 October 2006.

Cromwell may redeem the PPS after giving PPS holders at least 15 business days' notice of this intention, in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 and the Cromwell constitution.

As disclosed in the offer documents for PPS, all PPS will be redeemed at a price of $1.00.

Cromwell has recently announced a half-year dividend of 4.75 cents, in relation to the period from 1 July – 31 December 2007. Payment for this distribution is expected to be made at the same time as the redemption monies for the PPS are paid.

Cromwell intends to pay PPS holders an additional special dividend in relation to the period 1 January – 25 February 2008. The amount of the dividend will be equal to 95% of the annualised distributions forecast to be paid in relation to units in the Cromwell Diversified Property Trust for the period. This is expected to equate to approximately 1.55 cents per PPS. The special dividend will also be paid at the same time as the redemption monies for the PPS are paid.

Redemption monies, the dividend for the period to 31 December 2007, and the special dividend will be paid to the account which you currently receive dividends, and are expected to be paid on 25 February 2008.

Yours faithfully
