URGENT – IMPORTANT INFORMATION

  • REJECT ARA’S ATTEMPTS TO DISCREDIT AND TAKE CONTROL OF CROMWELL

  • STOP ARA’s TAKEOVER BY STEALTH

  • IGNORE ARA’S MISLEADING INFORMATION AND UNOFFICIAL PROXY FORM

  • TAKE NO ACTION – WAIT FOR CROMWELL’S FORMAL RESPONSE

Monday 2 March 2020

Dear Securityholder

Cromwell Property Group (Cromwell) has received notification that ARA Asset Management (ARA) is calling a securityholder meeting to again push for the election of its nominee, Dr. Gary Weiss, to the Cromwell Board. This is just three months after the majority of those voting rejected his appointment at the AGM in November 2019.

The material prepared by ARA contains incorrect and selective information and their proxy form has again been made to look as though it is being sent to you by Cromwell.

Please take no action and ignore the information sent by ARA.

ARA’s aggressive and hostile attack on Crowmwell lacks any substance. Cromwell has a proven track record of strong performance and has just announced a 59% increase in half-year statutory profits. It has a highly skilled Board and management team, strong governance and will continue to act in the best interest of all securityholders.

Official information from Cromwell will be sent to securityholders shortly. If you have any

questions, please call Cromwell’s Investor Services Team on 1300 268 078 or +61 7 3225 7777, email [email protected] or visit www.cromwellpropertygroup.com.

Yours sincerely

Cromwell Property Group
