Chairman’s Letter
17 December 2012
Dear Securityholder
On behalf of the Boards of Cromwell Corporation Limited and Cromwell Property Securities Limited, the responsible entity of the Cromwell Diversified Property Trust, (the Board) I am pleased to offer Eligible Securityholders the opportunity to participate in the Cromwell Property Group (Cromwell) Security Purchase Plan (SPP) allowing you to purchase up to $15,000 worth of Cromwell Securities without paying any brokerage or transaction costs (New Securities).
Cromwell announced the SPP to the ASX on Friday 7 December 2012. It also announced Institutional Placements of $143 million (Institutional Placements). The SPP is being offered to Eligible Securityholders to provide them with the opportunity to increase their holding in Cromwell at a price of $0.785 per New Security (the Offer Price), being the same price paid by institutional investors in the Institutional Placements and a 7.5% discount to Cromwell Securities’ 5 day VWAP on the ASX to Thursday 6 December 2012.
Cromwell expects to raise a further $20 million[1] from the SPP (which, together with the Institutional Placements is referred to as the Equity Raising).
The proceeds of the Equity Raising will be used to provide seed funding to the Cromwell Box Hill Trust and to repay debt and provide working capital, which will strengthen Cromwell’s balance sheet to take advantage of future acquisition opportunities. Cromwell’s operating earnings and distributions guidance for the 2013 financial year are maintained at a minimum of 7.5 cents and 7.25 cents per Cromwell Security respectively. Further, at the Offer Price, the New Securities are expected to provide an annualised earnings yield and distribution yield of 9.6% and 9.2% respectively.
Participation in the SPP is entirely optional and is open to Eligible Securityholders, being holders of Securities at 7.00pm (Sydney time) Thursday 6 December 2012 with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand.
If the total value of applications for New Securities exceeds $20 million, Cromwell has the absolute discretion to either accept all or part of the excess or to scale back applications. If applications are scaled back, you will not receive the full number of New Securities you have applied for and the balance of your application monies not applied to purchase New Securities under the SPP will, if equal to $2 or more, be refunded to you[2] .
Cromwell will make an announcement to the ASX on the outcome of the SPP and number of New Securities issued on or about Friday 8 February 2013.
What to do next
The SPP opens at 9.00am (Sydney time) Monday 17 December 2012. To participate in this SPP, you can choose to apply to purchase $5,000 (6,369 New Securities), $7,500 (9,554 New Securities), $10,000 (12,738 New Securities), $12,500 (15,923 New Securities) or $15,000 (19,108 New Securities) all at the Offer Price of $0.785.
You may apply for New Securities by either:
-
completing and returning the Application Form enclosed together with your payment; or
-
making a BPAY[®] payment in accordance with the instructions on the Application Form,
making sure that your Application Form and payment are received by 5.00pm (Sydney time) Tuesday 5 February 2013. If you make your application by BPAY[®] , you do not have to return the enclosed Application Form.
Important Information
The offer of New Securities under the SPP is made in accordance with ASIC class order [CO09/425] which grants relief from the requirement to issue a disclosure document for the SPP.
The Board recommends that you read the attached SPP Terms and Conditions carefully and in their entirety before deciding whether to participate in the SPP. In particular, you should note the future market price of Cromwell Securities is uncertain and may rise or fall. This means the price which Cromwell Securities are trading on the ASX at the time the New Securities are issued to you under the SPP may be higher or lower than the Offer Price of $0.785.
This letter does not provide financial advice and has been prepared without taking account of any person’s investment objectives, financial situation or particular needs. If you are in any doubt about the course of action you should follow, you should consult your financial, taxation or other professional adviser before participating in the SPP.
What if I have more questions?
For further information about the SPP or how to apply, please call the Cromwell Investor line on 1300 550 841 or +61 2 8280 7124 (from outside of Australia).
Yours sincerely

1 If Cromwell receives applications in excess of $20 million, Cromwell reserves the right to either increase the amount raised, by accepting all or part of the excess amount or to scale back applications, to the extent and in the manner it sees fit.
2 Given the cost of processing and mailing cheques, Cromwell has decided that amounts of $2.00 or less will be accumulated and donated to charity.

SPP Terms & Conditions
Important notices
This document has been prepared by Cromwell comprising Cromwell Corporation Limited ABN 44 001 056 980 (CCL) and Cromwell Property Securities Limited ABN 11 079 147 809 AFSL 238502 as responsible entity of Cromwell Diversified Property Trust ARSN 102 982 598 (CDPT).
The offer to purchase New Securities under the Cromwell security purchase plan (SPP) is not a recommendation to purchase Cromwell Securities. Nothing in this document, these terms and conditions (SPP Terms and Conditions), the SPP application form (Application Form) or any other accompanying documentation constitutes investment or financial product advice or is intended to influence your decision whether or not to participate in the SPP. The SPP documentation does not constitute a prospectus or a product disclosure statement nor is such disclosure required under the Corporations Act. You must rely on your own knowledge of Cromwell, previous disclosures made by Cromwell to the ASX and, if necessary, consult with your professional advisor when making your decision whether or not to apply for New Securities under this SPP.
If you apply to participate in the SPP, by making a BPAY[®] payment or completing and returning the Application Form with a cheque or money order, you are accepting the risk that the market price of the Cromwell Securities may change. This means it is possible that, up to or after the date you receive New Securities under the SPP, you may be able to buy Cromwell Securities on ASX Limited (ASX) at a lower price than under the SPP.
Set out below are the SPP Terms and Conditions that are binding on any Securityholder completing an Application Form or applying via BPAY[®] . The Application Form forms part of these SPP Terms and Conditions.
1. The SPP
The SPP is an invitation to all Eligible Securityholders to apply under the SPP to acquire New Securities at an Offer Price of $0.785 per New Security, up to a maximum of 19,108 New Securities (equivalent to approximately $15,000). You cannot apply for more than $15,000 worth of New Securities, even if you receive more than one Application Form.
The SPP opens on Monday 17 December 2012 and closes at 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Tuesday 5 February 2013 and is being made to each Eligible Securityholder subject to the SPP Terms and Conditions. The SPP is non-renounceable and non-transferable so Eligible Securityholders cannot transfer their right to acquire New Securities under the SPP to a third party.
If you apply for New Securities, the number of New Securities you receive will depend on both the number that you apply for and the total number of New Securities applied for by all Eligible Securityholders. Cromwell reserves the right to scale back Applications, or accept all or part of any excess, where the total value of New Securities applied for by all Eligible Securityholders exceeds $20 million.
Participation in the SPP is optional.
You are under no obligation to apply for New Securities. The number of existing Cromwell Securities you hold as at the Record Date and the rights attached to those existing Cromwell Securities will not be affected if you choose not to accept any of your entitlement under this SPP.
Your right to participate will end at 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Tuesday 5 February 2013, the Closing Date of this SPP.
Capitalised terms used in these SPP Terms and Conditions are defined in the body of these SPP Terms and Conditions as well as in Section 12.
4 Cromwell Property Group | Security Purchase Plan
2. Eligible Securityholders
2.1. Eligibility
You are eligible to participate in the SPP if:
-
you have a registered address in either Australia or New Zealand; and
-
you were registered as a Securityholder as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday 6 December 2012 (Record Date).
Cromwell has determined that it is not practical for Securityholders with registered addresses in other jurisdictions to participate in the SPP. The offer under this SPP is only made to Eligible Securityholders and not to ineligible Securityholders.
2.2. Individual Securityholders
If you receive multiple Application Forms under this SPP (even as a result of you having, for example, a holding in your personal name and a holding in your self-managed superannuation fund) you may only apply for New Securities up to a maximum value of $15,000 in aggregate.
2.3. Joint Securityholders
If you are recorded with one or more persons as the joint holders of Cromwell Securities that joint holding is considered to be a single registered holding for the purposes of this SPP. If the same joint Securityholders receive multiple Application Forms under this SPP (e.g. due to multiple registered Securityholdings) the joint Securityholders may only apply for New Securities up to a maximum value of $15,000 in aggregate. The certification under Section 10 by one joint holder will also be effective in respect of the other joint Securityholder(s).
2.4. Custodians
If you are a Custodian (as defined in Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Class Order [CO 09/425], you may apply for up to $15,000 worth of New Securities for each beneficiary subject to you annexing to your Application Form a certificate addressed to Cromwell with the information prescribed in ASIC Class Order [CO 09/425] (as amended) (Custodian Certificate). Applications by Custodians that are not accompanied by a duly completed Custodian Certificate will be rejected.
If you are a Custodian and would like a Custodian Certificate or further information on how to apply, you should contact the Cromwell Investor Line on 1300 550 841 or + 61 2 8280 7124 from outside Australia.
The SPP is being offered to Custodians because they are the registered holder of Cromwell Securities on behalf of their clients (who are the beneficial owners). Whether or not a Custodian participates in the SPP on behalf of its client(s) is subject to the particular arrangements in place between the Custodian and its client(s).
However, a Custodian must not participate in the SPP on behalf of, nor distribute this document or any other document relating to the SPP, to any person in the United States or to any person that is, or is acting for the account or benefit of, a US Person.
2.5. Trustees and nominees
If you hold Cromwell Securities as a trustee or nominee for another person and are expressly noted on the Cromwell register as holding Cromwell Securities on account of another person (a beneficiary) but you are not a Custodian, the beneficiary will be taken to be the registered holder of those Cromwell Securities. In this instance, an Application by the trustee or nominee will be taken to be an Application by the beneficiary. This means the beneficiary will be treated as the registered holder and Section 2.2 applies.
2.6. Securityholders outside Australia and New Zealand
This SPP is not being made to any Securityholder who, as at the Record Date, has a registered address outside of Australia or New Zealand.
No action has been taken to register or qualify the New Securities or the SPP or otherwise to permit an offering of the New Securities in any jurisdiction outside Australia and New Zealand, including the United States. The New Securities are not being offered or sold to the public within New Zealand other than to existing Securityholders with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of New Securities is being made in reliance on the Securities Act (Overseas Companies) Exemption Notice 2002 (New Zealand). This document has not been registered, filed with or approved by any New Zealand regulatory authority under the Securities Act 1978 (New Zealand). This document is not an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law and is not required to, and may not, contain all the information that an investment statement or prospectus under New Zealand law is required to contain.
Securityholders who hold Cromwell Securities on behalf of persons who reside outside Australia and New Zealand, are in the United States, or are US Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the United States Securities Act of 1933 as amended (US Securities Act)) (US Persons) or who act for the account or benefit of a US Person are not entitled to participate in the SPP.
You must not distribute any documents relating to the SPP to any person in the United States or to any US Person. Consistent with the representations, warranties and acknowledgements contained in Section 10 and the Application Form included with these SPP Terms and Conditions, you may not submit any completed Application Forms for any person in the United States or who is, or is acting for the account or benefit of, a US Person.
Cromwell Property Group | Security Purchase Plan 5
2.7. Directors and employees
Directors and employees of Cromwell who hold Cromwell Securities may also be Eligible Securityholders.
3. Offer Price
The Offer Price under this SPP is $0.785 per New Security. This is the same price to be paid by institutional investors under the Institutional Placementss announced on Friday 7 December 2012. The current Cromwell Security price can be obtained from the ASX website at www.asx.com.au (ASX: CMW).
The Offer Price represents a discount of approximately 7.5% to the 5 day VWAP of Cromwell Securities to Thursday 6 December 2012.
Eligible Securityholders who apply for New Securities under the SPP agree to pay the Offer Price per New Security for the number of New Securities allocated to them under the SPP. The price at which Cromwell Securities trade on the ASX may vary between the date of this offer, the date that you apply for New Securities and the date of issue of New Securities to you. Therefore, the market price of the Cromwell Securities at the time of allotment is likely to be different to the Offer Price and the value of your investment in New Securities may therefore rise or fall. There is no certainty that Cromwell Securities will trade at or above the Offer Price following the issue of New Securities under the SPP.
4. Costs of the SPP
No brokerage, commissions or other transaction costs will be payable by a participating Eligible Securityholder in relation to the Application for, and allotment of, New Securities under the SPP.
5. Number of New Securities
Cromwell is inviting Eligible Securityholders to apply for a total of approximately 25,477,707 New Securities at the Offer Price of $0.785 per New Security to raise $20 million.
Each Eligible Securityholder is entitled to apply for up to 19,108 New Securities (regardless of the number or value of registered holdings in which they have a beneficial interest) for a maximum consideration of $15,000. Cromwell reserves the right to issue less New Securities than the number specified in the Application Form for any reason including multiple Applications for over $15,000 worth of New Securities by an Eligible Securityholder.
Eligible Securityholders may apply for New Securities by taking up one of the following offers:
==> picture [232 x 73] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
||||
|---|---|---|
|Offer 1|$5,000|6,369 New Securities|
|Offer 2|$7,500|9,554 New Securities|
|Offer 3|$10,000|12,738 New Securities|
|Offer 4|$12,500|15,923 New Securities|
|Offer 5|$15,000|19,108 New Securities|
----- End of picture text -----
No fractions of New Securities will be issued, with any fraction being rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Securities. If rounding results in you having paid application monies in excess of $2.00 more than was necessary, the excess will be refunded to you. All amounts of $2.00 or below will be accumulated and donated to charity.
Cromwell will apply to the ASX for the quotation of New Securities issued under the SPP. It is anticipated that the New Securities issued under the SPP will be quoted on ASX on or about Thursday 14 February 2013. The Registry will send a holding statement to participating Eligible Securityholders confirming the allotment of New Securities on or about Thursday 14 February 2013.
6. Scale back and
excess Applications
If the total value of Applications under the SPP is in excess of $20 million, Cromwell may in its absolute discretion either accept all or part of such excess or scale back Applications for New Securities to the extent and in the manner that it sees fit. Decisions made will be final.
If there is a scale back, you may not receive the full number of New Securities applied for under the SPP. If a scale back produces a fractional number when applied to your Application, the number of New Securities you will be allotted will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of New Securities.
In the event of a scale back the difference between the application monies received and the number of New Securities allocated to you multiplied by the Offer Price, will, if it exceeds $2.00, be refunded to you by direct credit (to your nominated account as recorded on the Cromwell register) or cheque, without interest, as soon as reasonably practicable following allotment. Any individual refund amounts below $2.00 will be accumulated and donated to charity.
7. Security rights and allotment
The New Securities issued under the SPP will rank equally in all respects with existing Cromwell Securities quoted on the ASX, with the same voting rights, dividend/distribution rights and other entitlements, from allotment. The New Securities will be fully entitled to the March 2013 quarter distribution.

-
d) any other Cromwell Securities in the class issued to a Custodian under an arrangement similar to the SPP in the 12 months before the application as a result of an instruction given by you to the Custodian or another Custodian and which resulted in the holder holding beneficial interests in the Cromwell Securities,
Cromwell may accept or reject your Application for New Securities under the SPP at its sole discretion. Cromwell may reject your Application in the following circumstances including, without limit, if:
-
a) your Application Form is incorrectly completed, incomplete, does not comply with the SPP Terms and Conditions or otherwise determined by Cromwell to be invalid;

c) you have applied for less than $5,000 worth of New Securities;
