Notice of Meeting

Cromwell Property Group is a stapled enterprise consisting of Cromwell Corporation Limited ABN 44 001 056 980 (“CCL” or “the Company”) and Cromwell Diversified Property Trust ARSN 102 982 598 (“CDPT” or “the Trust”), the responsible entity of which is Cromwell Property Securities Limited ABN 11 079 147 809, AFSL No. 238052 (“CPSL”). Concurrent meetings of members (“Meeting”) are being held as the Company and the Trust have identical securityholders (“Securityholder”), since a share in the Company is stapled to a unit in the Trust to form a single security. This single security is known as a “Stapled Security”. Cromwell Property Group’s Stapled Securities trade on ASX Limited (“ASX”) under the code CMW.

Additional information concerning the proposed resolution set out below (“Resolution”) is contained in the combined explanatory memorandums (“Explanatory Memorandum”) which accompany these notices of the Meeting (“Notice of Meeting”). The Resolution set out in this Notice of Meeting should be read in conjunction with the Explanatory Memorandum.

This Notice of Meeting is issued by CCL and by CPSL as the responsible entity of the Trust.

Notice is hereby given that a general meeting of the Company will be held in conjunction with a general meeting of the Trust at the following time and place to conduct the following business:

Notes

1. Terminology and definitions

Terms which are defined in the respective constitutions of the Company or the Trust have the same meaning when used in this Notice of Meeting (and in the Explanatory Memorandum) unless the context requires otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, a reference in this Notice of Meeting or the Explanatory Memorandum to a ‘Securityholder’ is to the registered holder of a Stapled Security in Cromwell Property Group. In the voting exclusion statement, ‘associate’ will have the meaning given in sections 12 and 16 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporations Act”). Section 12 is to be applied as if paragraph 12(1)(a) of the Corporations Act included a reference to the ASX Listing Rules and on the basis that the entity is the “designated body” for the purposes of that section. A related party of a director or officer of the entity or of a child entity is to be taken to be an associate of the director or officer unless the contrary is established.

2. Quorum

The constitution of the Company provides that a quorum of shareholders for a general meeting of the Company is shareholders holding not less than 5% of the votes that may be cast at a general meeting. No business may be transacted at a general meeting unless a quorum of shareholders is present at the commencement of business.

The constitution of the Trust provides that a quorum of unitholders for a general meeting of the Trust is three unitholders and the quorum must be present at all times during a general meeting. In the case of either the Company or the Trust, if a quorum is not present within 30 minutes after the time appointed for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned in accordance with the respective Constitution. If a quorum is not present within 30 minutes after the time appointed for the adjourned meeting, the Meeting will be dissolved.

3. Voting

The Directors of the Company and the responsible entity of the Trust have determined that, for the purposes of the Meeting, shares in the Company and units in the Trust will be taken to be held by the persons who are registered as a Securityholder as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Monday 27 April 2015. Accordingly, transfers registered after this time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.

Voting on the Resolution will be conducted by way of show of hands, unless a poll is required by the Corporations Act or properly demanded. A poll may be demanded before a vote on the Resolution is taken, immediately before the voting results on a show of hands are declared or immediately after the voting results on a show of hands are declared. A poll may be demanded by at least five Securityholders present entitled to vote on the Resolution, by Securityholders present with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast on the Resolution on a poll or by the Chairman.

On a show of hands, each Securityholder will have one vote. On a poll, each Securityholder has:

  • (i) in the case of a resolution of the Company, one vote for each fully paid share held by the Securityholder; and

  • (i) in the case of a resolution of the Trust, one vote for each dollar value of the total units held by the Securityholder.

In the case of Stapled Securities held by joint holders, only the vote of the joint holder whose name appears first in the register will be accepted to the exclusion of the other joint holder or holders if two or more joint holders purport to vote.

4. Corporate representatives and powers of attorney

A corporate Securityholder may elect to appoint a representative to vote rather than a proxy, in accordance with the Corporations Act. Corporate representatives are required to bring an original or certified copy of their appointment as a representative to the Meeting, or provide it to both the Company and CPSL or the registry before the Meeting. A form of the certificate of appointment may be obtained from Cromwell Property Group’s registry. Attorneys are required to lodge a certified copy or the original of the power of attorney pursuant to which they were appointed at the address listed on page 3 of this Notice of Meeting or at the registered office of both the Company and CPSL (including by fax) not later than 10.30am (Brisbane time) on Monday 27 April 2015. Proof of identity will be required to be presented at the Meeting for corporate representatives and attorneys.

Cromwell Property Group | Notice of Meeting 2015

5. Proxies

Each Securityholder has the right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote for them. The proxy will have the same rights to speak, to vote and to join in a demand for a poll at the Meeting. The proxy does not need to be a Securityholder and may be an individual or a body corporate. If you do not plan to attend the Meeting in person, you are encouraged to complete and return the proxy form which accompanies this Notice of Meeting or vote online at www.cromwell.com.au/registry.

A Securityholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes on a poll may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is entitled to exercise. If you do not specify a proportion or number, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. Fractions will be disregarded. If you appoint two proxies to vote, neither proxy can vote on a show of hands. On a poll, each proxy can only exercise votes in respect of those securities or voting rights the proxy represents.

If the same person (such as the Chairman) is appointed as proxy for two or more Securityholders and those Securityholders have specified different ways for the proxy to vote on an item of business, then the proxy is not entitled to vote (as proxy) on a show of hands on that item.

A proxy may decide whether or not to vote on any item of business or other motion at the Meeting, except where the proxy is required by law or the Company’s or the Trust’s constitution to vote or abstain from voting in their capacity as proxy. If the proxy’s appointment directs the proxy how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with the direction. If the proxy’s appointment does not direct the proxy how to vote on an item of business or any other motion at the Meeting, the proxy may abstain or vote as he or she thinks fit on that item or motion.

If an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at the Meeting and the appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting or does not vote on a poll on the resolution, then the Chairman will be taken to have been appointed as the proxy of the relevant Securityholder in respect of the Meeting or the poll on that resolution, as applicable.

6. How the Chairman will vote undirected proxies

If a Securityholder appoints the Chairman as the Securityholder’s proxy and does not specify how the Chairman is to vote on an item of business, the Chairman intends to vote in favour of that item on a poll (subject to the other provisions of this Notice of Meeting, including any voting exclusions).

Cromwell Property Group encourages all Securityholders who submit proxies to direct their proxy how to vote on the Resolution.

7. When the Resolution will be passed

As the Resolution is an ordinary resolution of the Company and of the Trust, it will only be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast by or on behalf of Securityholders entitled to vote on the resolution are in favour.

8. Lodgement of proxies and queries

The appointment of a proxy and the original or certified copy of the power of attorney (if the form is signed by an attorney) must be received in one of the following ways:

  • Online: Proxy forms can be lodged online at www.cromwell.com.au/registry.

  • Post: Proxy forms can be returned by mail using the reply paid envelope enclosed or address your letter to: Link Market Services Pty Limited Locked Bag A14 Sydney South NSW 1235

  • Facsimile: Proxy forms and a certified copy of the power of attorney (if the form is signed by an attorney) may be delivered by facsimile to: +61 2 9287 0309

9. More information

If you have any questions, please phone Link Market Services Limited, Cromwell Property Group’s registry, on 1300 550 841 or phone Cromwell Investor Services on 1300 276 693.

If you appoint a proxy, you may still attend the Meeting. Your proxy will not be able to speak or vote at the Meeting whilst you are present.

Please note that proxy forms (and, if they are executed pursuant to a power of attorney, a certified copy or the original of the power of attorney) must be lodged online or received at the address listed below or at the registered office of the Company and CPSL (including by fax) not later than 10.30am (Brisbane time) on Monday 27 April 2015.

Cromwell Property Group | Notice of Meeting 2015

Explanatory Memorandum

Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum contains information relevant to the Resolution set out in the Notice of Meeting and should be read carefully and in its entirety by Securityholders before making any decision and voting in relation to the Resolution.

If you have any doubt regarding the information contained in this Explanatory Memorandum or any action you should take in respect of such information, you should consult your financial, legal, taxation or other professional adviser.

Defined terms used in the Explanatory Memorandum are set out in the Notice of Meeting, unless the context requires otherwise.

This Explanatory Memorandum is issued by CCL and by CPSL as the responsible entity of the Trust.

Ratification of the issue of Convertible Bonds for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4

On 27 January 2015, Cromwell Property Group announced that it would conduct an underwritten convertible bond offer to raise €150 million (“Convertible Bond Offer”) to fund the acquisition of Valad Europe, a pan European property funds management business with assets under management (including investment capacity) at 31 December 2014 of approximately €5.3 billion across 24 mandates and funds and 13 geographies, from Blackstone Real Estate Partners VI and Valad Europe senior management (“Acquisition”).

On 28 January 2015, Cromwell Property Group announced that it had completed the Convertible Bond Offer and had successfully raised €150 million, and that the Convertible Bond Offer was strongly supported through the bookbuild conducted by Merrill Lynch (Australia) Futures Limited. Settlement of the Convertible Bond Offer occurred on 4 February 2015.

The convertible bonds were issued by Cromwell SPV Finance Pty Ltd (“Issuer”) and pay a fixed coupon rate of 2.0% per annum on a semi-annual basis for a term of five years (“Convertible Bonds”). The Convertible Bonds rank as unsubordinated, unconditional, and unsecured obligations of the Issuer, guaranteed by Cromwell Property Group, and are tradable on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”). The Convertible Bonds mature on 4 February 2020. Prior to maturity, the Convertible Bonds are convertible into fully paid Stapled Securities at a price of A$1.1503 per Stapled Security (subject to certain adjustments), which reflects a premium of 7.5% to the Stapled Security closing price on 23 January 2015. The full terms of issue of the Convertible Bonds are set out in the Cleansing Notice attached to an announcement by Cromwell Property Group to ASX on 2 February 2015.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a limit on the number of “equity securities” (a term that includes convertible securities such as the Convertible Bonds) that an entity can issue or agree to issue in a 12 month period without Securityholder approval. Generally, and subject to the exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2, an entity may not, without Securityholder approval, issue in any 12 month period more than 15% of the number of “ordinary securities” on issue 12 months before the date of the issue. The issue of Convertible Bonds was made in accordance with Cromwell Property Group’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities made without approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 is treated as having been made with approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 if the issue did not breach ASX Listing Rule 7.1 at the time the issue was made and Securityholders subsequently approve the issue.

Accordingly, Securityholders are requested to subsequently approve the issue of the Convertible Bonds, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.4, to refresh Cromwell Property Group’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Please note that if Securityholders approve the Resolution, any future equity raisings by Cromwell Property Group would remain subject to the 15% limit set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. The effect of an approval of the Resolution would be that the issue of Convertible Bonds would not decrease the number of equity securities that Cromwell Property Group could issue or agree to issue in the future (without Securityholder approval) when applying the 15% limit set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Cromwell Property Group | Notice of Meeting 2015

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.5, details of the issue of the Convertible Bonds are set out below:

  • the number of securities issued: under the Convertible Bond Offer, a total of 1500 Convertible Bonds were issued with a denomination of €100,000. The Convertible Bonds are convertible to Stapled Securities at an initial conversion price of A$1.1503 per Stapled Security. Assuming no adjustments to the initial conversion price, and given the fixed rate of exchange of €1.00=A$1.4230, the maximum number of Stapled Securities to be issued on conversion by Cromwell Property Group is 185,571,000;

  • the price at which the securities were issued: Convertible Bonds were issued in denominations of €100,000 each. The initial conversion price of the Convertible Bonds is A$1.1503 per Stapled Security;

  • the terms of the securities: the key terms of the Convertible Bonds are summarised above. The Stapled Securities that will be issued on conversion of the Convertible Bonds will be credited as fully paid and will rank equally in all respects with all other existing Stapled Securities on issue. The full terms of issue of the Convertible Bonds are set out in the Cleansing Notice attached to an announcement by Cromwell Property Group to ASX on 2 February 2015;

  • the names of the persons to whom Cromwell Property Group issued the securities or the basis on which those persons were determined: the Convertible Bonds were issued to select sophisticated, professional and wholesale clients to whom offers were arranged via a bookbuild process conducted by Merrill Lynch (Australia) Futures Limited, who acted as sole book runner and underwriter to the issue;

  • the use (or intended use) of the funds raised: the funds raised from the issue of Convertible Bonds were used to fund the Acquisition; and

  • a voting exclusion statement: a voting exclusion statement in respect of the Resolution is set out in the Notice of Meeting.

The Directors of Cromwell Property Group consider that the ratification of the issue of the Convertible Bonds as described above is in the best interests of Cromwell Property Group as it provides enhanced funding flexibility under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 to issue additional equity securities over the next 12 months should it be required.

What will happen if the Resolution is passed?

Advantages

By passing the Resolution, Securityholders will ‘refresh’ part of Cromwell Property Group’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This is desirable because the issue of the Convertible Bonds has partially utilised Cromwell Property Group’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

Such a resolution provides funding flexibility in respect of potential acquisitions, investment opportunities, and general capital management initiatives that may arise. Cromwell Property Group has, and continues to, actively seek acquisition opportunities which complement its investment strategy and existing portfolio. If an opportunity to acquire an attractive asset or assets that will assist Cromwell Property Group meet its strategy arises, then an ASX announcement will be made if required.

Disadvantages/risks

The key potential disadvantage and risk associated with the Resolution is if Cromwell Property Group issues further equity (which it would be able to do, should Securityholders approve the Resolution) the percentage holdings in Cromwell Property Group of Securityholders who do not participate in that future issue will be further reduced.

The Boards of Cromwell Property Group are of the opinion that this potential disadvantage and risk are substantially outweighed by the potential advantages and benefits associated with Cromwell Property Group refreshing its placement capacity, and accordingly considers that the Resolution is in the best interests of all Securityholders.

However, Securityholders should consider their individual circumstances and make their own determination as to how to vote on the Resolution.

What will happen if the Resolution is not passed?

If Securityholders do not approve the Resolution and an investment opportunity does arise, Cromwell Property Group’s ability to participate in that opportunity in a timely manner, or at all, may be constrained as:

  • (a) Cromwell Property Group will, to the extent of the amount of the issue of Convertible Bonds, be restricted in raising further capital through a placement without Securityholder approval until 4 February 2016 (being 12 months from the date of completion of the Convertible Bond Offer); and

  • (b) alternative funding sources may not be available at that time or at a competitive price.

Directors’ Recommendation

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