DB RREEF Trust (ASX:DRT) RENTS Issue up to \$250 million

DB RREEF Funds Management Limited, in its capacity as responsible entity of DB RREEF RENTS Trust (Issuer), announced the issue of \$200 million of Real-estate perpetual Excha Ngeable sTep-up Securities called RENTS, with the ability to accept up to an additional \$50 million in oversubscriptions (Offer). A Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) has been lodged with the Australian Securities and Investment Commission today.

RENTS offer investors a quarterly floating rate non-cumulative distribution based on a Margin over the 90 day bank bill rate. Distributions are expected to be 90% tax deferred over the period to the Step-up Date. The Margin will be determined following a book build process to be conducted on 5 May 2005 based on an indicative range of 1.10% to 1.30%.

Mr Victor Hoog Antink, CEO, said that the Offer is an important part of the DB RREEF group's ongoing capital strategy that is aimed at improving its financial flexibility, by reducing gearing, lengthening its maturity profile and diversifying its funding sources.

"Importantly, by strengthening our balance sheet, the Offer reduces our reliance on the existing distribution reinvestment plan (DRP) underwriting agreement for senior debt reduction, and provides us with a strong platform for the delivery of our group strategy."

The DB RREEF group maintains the option to activate the DRP underwriting under the existing underwriting agreement, should appropriate investment opportunities arise. Accordingly, following subscriptions for RENTS, the group will not, in the absence of other opportunities, seek to underwrite the June 2005 DRP.

The Issuer will apply for quotation of RENTS on ASX under the ticker code "DRTPA". It is expected that the Offer will open on 6 May 2005 and close on 3 June 2005.

Full details of the Offer are contained in the PDS. Applications for RENTS can only be made by completing an application form contained in, or accompanying, the PDS during the offer period. An electronic version of the PDS is available from the DB RREEF group's website at www.dbrreef.com. A person should consider the PDS in deciding whether to acquire RENTS.

Holders of DB RREEF Stapled Securities, with a registered address in Australia on the register as at 7.00pm 26 April 2005, will shortly receive a registration card from the Issuer which outlines how they can obtain preferential treatment over general public applicants, if there is excess demand for RENTS.

Deutsche Bank AG and Merrill Lynch International (Australia) Limited are the Joint Lead Managers to the Offer.

To find out more about the Offer, please call the InfoLine on 1800 819 675 Monday to Friday between 8.30am and 5.30pm (Sydney time).

3 answers to key questions

THIS SECTION ANSWERS SOME KEY QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY HAVE ABOUT RENTS. THE ANSWERS PROVIDED ARE INTENDED AS A GUIDE ONLY. FURTHER DETAILS ARE PROVIDED ELSEWHERE IN THIS PDS. THE TERMS OF ISSUE OF RENTS ARE SET OUT IN FULL IN APPENDIX A.

IF YOU ARE UNCLEAR IN RELATION TO ANY MATTER OR ARE UNCERTAIN IF RENTS ARE A SUITABLE INVESTMENT. YOU SHOULD CONTACT YOUR FINANCIAL OR OTHER PROFESSIONAL ADVISER.

YOU SHOULD READ THIS ENTIRE PDS CAREFULLY.

3.1 RENTS

3.1.1 what are RENTS?

RENTS are fully paid preference units in DB RREEF RENTS Trust, a trust specifically created for the purpose of the Offer. Some key features of RENTS include:

  • RENTS entitle Holders to receive non-curnulative quarterly floating rate distributions, at a Margin, which will be determined through a Book Build based on an indicative range of 1.1000 to 1.3000%. per annum above the 90 day bank bill rate (see Section 3.2);
  • the Issuer may initiate Exchange of RENTS into Stapled Securities or Repurchase of RENTS for cash on or after the Step-up Date or earlier in certain circumstances and allow the Holder to initiate Repurchase in limited circumstances (see Section 3.3); and
  • a Holders have the benefit of a direct, unsecured subordinated guarantee from the Guarantors (See Section 3.1.4).

3.1.2 who is issuing RENTS?

RENTS are issued by DB RREEF Funds Management Limited in its capacity as responsible entity of DB RREEF RENTS Trust.

3.1.3 what will the proceeds of the Offer be used for?

Since the establishment of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts on 30 September 2004, the DB RREEF group has successfully implemented a number of capital management initiatives. These include reducing the DB RREEF group's Gearing towards its stated long term target of 40% to 45%. Other capital management initiatives undertaken by the DB RREEF group to achieve this objective include. underwriting the DB RREEF group's DRP for the December 2004. distribution, lengthening its maturity profile and diversifying its funding sources through a US\$200 million US private placement (USPP).

The Offer is the next major initiative undertaken by the DB RREEF group in actively managing its capital mix. The proceeds of the Offer will initially be used by DB RREEF RENTS Trust to subscribe for Preference Units in DOT Commercial Trust (DCT - a sub-trust in the DB RREEF group) or otherwise investing in members of the DB RREEF group. Those proceeds will subsequently be used to reduce the DB RREEF group's senior debt.

As part of the restructure in September 2004, the DB RREEF group entered into an agreement with Deutsche Bank to underwrite the group's DRP for the four half yearly distributions between December 2004 and June 2006 (inclusive). It was the DB RREEF group's stated intention that the proceeds of the underwritten DRP be used towards. repaying its senior debt to reduce its Gearing towards the long term. target of 40% to 45%.

A key outcome of the Offer is to reduce the DB RREEF group's reliance. on the existing DRP underwriting agreement for senior debt reduction. The Offer will enable the DB RREEF group to maintain the option to activate the DRP underwriting under the existing underwriting agreement, including appropriate investment opportunities should they arise.

3.1.4 who is providing the Guarantee and what is being guaranteed?

Holders have the benefit of a direct, unsecured and subordinated Guarantee from the responsible entity of each DB RREEF Stapled Trust (each a Guarantor). The Guarantee is being provided by the responsible entity of the head trusts in the DB RREEF group, and not by all of the entities (including asset holding entities) within the DB RREEF group.

The Guarantors will jointly and severally guarantee the obligations of the Issuer and the Transferee to pay money which is required to be paid to Holders. Should a Guarantor cease to be a member of the DB RREEF. group (but not in other circumstances), the Guarantee given by that Guarantor shall only apply in respect of the Realisation Amount and any Unpaid Distribution Amount payable to Holders on the Realisation Date. Claims against the Guarantors under the Guarantee will:

  • » be subordinated to the Claims of all Senior Creditors but rank at least equally with all other unsecured and subordinated obligations. of each Guarantor, and no amount is payable by a Guarantor under the Guarantee if any amount is outstanding to a Senior Creditor;
  • as rank equally with all subordinated obligations of the DB RREEF group; and
  • a rank in priority to Stapled Securities.
  • Holders will not be entitled to:
  • » seek a winding up or appoint a receiver in respect of, or exercise other material remedies against, the Guarantors; or
  • mequire payment from a Guarantor in connection with RENTS prior to a Winding-Up Event of that Guarantor.

The Guarantee will be given by the Guarantors on the terms set out in the Guarantee Deed Poll, which is summarised in Section 8.4.4.

3.1.5 can you sell your investment in RENTS?

The Issuer expects RENTS to be listed on ASX. Once quoted, RENTS can be purchased or sold on ASX through any stockbroker at the prevailing market price. That price may be higher or lower than the Face Value, and will depend, among other things, on the level of supply and demand for RENTS.

If quotation is not granted within three months from the date of this PDS, RENTS will not be issued and all Application Monies will be returned to Applicants (without interest) as soon as practicable.

3.1.6 can the Offer be withdrawn?

The Issuer, DRFM and the Joint Lead Managers reserve the right, subject to the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules and other applicable laws, to withdraw the Offer at any time, or to vary the dates of the Offer (including to extend the Offer, close the Offer early or accept late Applications) either generally or in particular cases, without notice.

3.2 distributions on RENTS

3.2.1 when will the Distribution Rate be determined?

The Distribution Amount for the first Distribution Period will accrue from the Issue Date to 30 September 2005 (inclusive) and will be payable on 17 October 2005. After the first Distribution Period, your Distribution Amount will be determined on the following dates each year (or if that day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day):

Distribution Rate
determined
Record
Date
Distribution Payment
Date
1 April 30 June 11 Business Days
after 30 lune
1 July 30 September 11 Business Days
after 30 September
1 October .33 December 11 Business Days
after 31 December
1 January 3) March 11 Business Days
after 31 March

The Distribution Rate will be announced to ASX each time it is determined.

3 answers to key questions (continued)

3.2.2 how will the Distribution Rate be calculated?

  • The Distribution Rate for the first Distribution Period (Issue Date to 30 September 2005 inclusive) will be the sum of the Market Rate and the Margin:

  • the Market Rate will be the greater of the 90 day bank bill rate determined on the day of the Book Build (expected to be 5 May 2005) or the Issue Date (expected to be 15 June 2005); and
  • the Margin will be determined through a Book Build based on an indicative range of 1.1000 to 1.3000% per annum; or
  • @ For each subsequent Distribution Period until the Step-up Date, the Distribution Rate will be the sum of the Market Rate (determined at the start of each quarter) and the Margin determined above.

For example, as at 26 April 2005, the Distribution Rate would be calculated as follows, using the indicative Margin range:

Indicative Market Rate (being the 90 day = 5.7533%)
bank bill rate per annum on 26 April 2005).
5.7533%
Plus the indicative Margin (Margin to
be determined through the Book Build.
3.1000%。 to 1.3000%

Example Distribution Rate (per annum) 6.8533% to 7.0533%

on 5 May 2005)

The actual Distribution Rate for each Distribution Period (including the first Distribution Period) may be higher or lower than the example given above.

All calculations of the Distribution Amount will be rounded to the nearest four decimal places. For the purpose of making any payment of the Distribution Amount in respect of your total holding of RENTS, any fraction of a cent will be disregarded.

For each Distribution Period following the Step-up Date (1 July 2012), the Margin will increase by a one time step-up of 2.00% per annum, unless RENTS are Repurchased or Exchanged.

3.2.3 how will the Distribution Amount be calculated?

The Distribution Amount for each Distribution Períod is calculated based on the Distribution Rate, Face Value and the number of days in the Distribution Period according to the following formula:

Distribution Rate x Face Value x
- Distribution Amount ⊯ Number of days in the Distribution Period
365

For example, the Distribution Amount payable for the first Distribution. Period would be calculated as follows, using the example Distribution Rate calculated in Section 3.2.2.

Total indicative Distribution Amount 2 \$101.39 to \$104.35
Maltiplied by the assumed number
of RENTS held

  1. Distribution Periods will be approximately 90 days, and will be measured from (but excluding) a Record Date to (and including) the next Record Date except for the first Distribution Period used in the example above which is a longer Distribution Period as it starts on (and includes) the Issue Date and ends on (and includes) the first Record Date on 30 September 2005.

  2. Any fraction of a cent is disregarded when calculating total Distribution Payment. on a Holder's aggregate holding of RENTS.

3.2.4 will Distribution Amounts be tax deferred?

Distribution Amounts are expected to be 90% tax deferred over the period to the Step-up Date.

383-395 Kent Street Sydney, NSW

3.2.5 what are tax deferred distributions?

Distributions made on RENTS which are tax deferred should not be included in your assessable income. Your cost base for CGT purposes. in RENTS will be reduced by an amount equivalent to the tax deferred. component of each Distribution Amount, thereby deferring tax until disposal. If your cost base in RENTS is reduced to nil as a result of receiving such tax deferred Distribution Amounts, then any further tax deferred distributions received by you in respect of RENTS will result in a capital gain equal to such Distribution Amounts.

See Section 7 for more detail.

3.2.6 how do 1 compare the returns on tax deferred Distribution Amounts to other investments?

It may be useful for some investors, depending on their individual circumstances, to compare the investment returns on RENTS to the investment returns on other securities. One such comparison may be to estimate the Pre-Tax Equivalent IRR - the equivalent return that a fully taxed income stream would need to earn to give a Holder the same after tax return as RENTS.

For example, the Pre-Tax Equivalent IRR may be estimated for investors across different marginal tax rates by making some simplified assumptions.

For the purposes of estimating the Pre-Tax Equivalent IRR, we have assumed:

  • minvestors acquire RENTS on 3 June 2005 under this Offer, and hold them on capital account until 15 July 2012;
  • winvestors dispose of RENTS on ASX on 15 July 2012 for \$100 after receiving the Distribution Amount for the Distribution Period ending on 30 June 2012;

  • B the Market Rate for the first Distribution Period is 5.7533% (the 90 day bank bill rate on 26 April 2005) and for each subsequent Distribution Period is 5.8448% (the seven year swap rate on 26 April 2005, being of a term approximately equal to the period commencing on the second Distribution Period and ending on the assumed disposal date);

  • @ an illustrative Margin of 1.2000% per annum until the Step-up Date:
  • @ each Distribution Amount is 90% tax deferred;
  • whilst Distribution Amounts will be determined and paid quarterly in arrears on the Distribution Payment Dates, they are calculated and presented on an annual basis purely for presentation purposes;
  • is the investor's marginal tax rate includes the Medicare Levy at a rate of 1.5%;
  • the discount CGT applies such that individual investors pay tax on half of their capital gain and complying superannuation funds pay tax on two-thirds of their capital gain; and
  • there is no change in taxation laws or their interpretation.

Based on the assumptions above, the Pre-Tax Equivalent IRR is estimated for the following types of investors in the tables below. You should be aware that this example and the associated assumptions are for illustrative purposes only. Actual events will differ from the assumptions used in this example:

Flinders Gate Complex 172 & 179 Flinders Street, Melbourne, VIC

3.2.7 how will the Distribution Rate be adjusted if Distribution Amounts are not 90% tax deferred?

The Issuer expects Distribution Amounts to be 90% tax deferred over the period to the Step-up Date.

If the Distribution Amount in respect of a Distribution Period is not 90% tax deferred prior to the Step-up Date, the Margin for that Distribution Period will be increased by the Top Up Element (which is capped at 0.50% per annum) according to the following formula:

Top Up Element =
$$
\frac{(0.90 - A)}{0.90} \times 0.50\% \text{ per annum}
$$

Where A is the percentage of the Distribution Amount which will be tax deferred (expressed as a decimal).

For example, the increase in the Margin as a result of the Top Up Element will be:

% of Distribution
Amount which
is tax deferred
Calculation of
Top Up Element
Top Up Element or
increase in Margin
for that Distribution
Period (% pa)
un i $(0.90 - 0.90) / 0.90 \times 0.50\%$ 0.0000
80 $(0.90 - 0.80) / 0.90 \times 0.50\%$ 0.0556
70 $(0.90 - 0.70) / 0.90 \times 0.50\%$ 0.3111
45 $(0.90 - 0.45) / 0.90 \times 0.50\%$ 0.2500
25 $(0.90 - 0.25) / 0.90 \times 0.50\%$ 0.3611
$(0.90 - 0.00) / 0.90 \times 0.50\%$ 5000

The maximum Top Up Element is 0.50% per annum. Notwithstanding any Top Up Element prior to the Step-up Date, you may not be fully compensated for the fower tax deferred amount and your after tax return may be fower than if the Distribution Amount had been 90% tax deferred.

3.2.8 what is the 90 day bank bill rate?

The 90 day bank bill rate is a benchmark interest rate in the Australian money market commonly used by Australian banks to lend cash to each other over a 90 day period. See Section 5.1.5 for a graph showing movements in the 90 day bank bill rate over the past 20 years.

3.2.9 will Distribution Amounts always be paid?

You will have a present entitlement on the last day of each Distribution. Period to receive distributions of:

  • (a) all Distributable fricome of DB RREEF RENTS Trust; and
  • (b) any capital of DB RREEF RENTS Trust which the Issuer determines in its discretion to distribute to you,

in an aggregate amount per RENTS up to the Distribution Amount for the Distribution Period.

Distribution Amounts will only be made to the extent that DB RREEF RENTS Trust receives sufficient funds (whether of a Distributable Income or capital nature, and whether received from DCT, members of the DB RREEF group or other sources) or the Issuer determines to distribute capital to you. The fssuer may only act at the direction of the DOT RE in making any determination in respect of a Distribution. Amount payment. Distributions on the Preference Units in DCT will be at the discretion of the DCT Trustee, and distributions of capital of DB RREEF RENTS Trust will be at the discretion of the fssuer.

Accordiagly if:

  • the DCT Trustee does not make a distribution on the Preference Units:
  • is the Issuer does not receive funds from the DB RREEF group or other sources (or the Issuer makes a distribution which is less than a Distribution Amount); or
  • the Issuer does not make the discretionary determination to distribute capital to you,

the Issuer will be unable to make a Distribution Amount payment.

3 answers to key questions (continued)

As Distribution Amounts are non-cumulative, if a payment of Distribution Amount is missed, Holders will have no recourse to the payment from the Issuer or DRFM and it will not be paid subsequently unless it forms part of the Optional Distribution Payment or the Unpaid Distribution Amount. The payment of any Optional Distribution Payment is at the discretion of the Issuer or the Guarantors.

4 overview of the DB RREEF group (continued)

4.3 capital management

The DB RREEF group employs an active and prudent capital management strategy. Since October 2004, the group has successfully implemented a number of capital management initiatives.

The Offer is part of the DB RREEF group's ongoing capital management strategy that is aimed at improving the DB RREEF group's financial flexibility, by reducing Gearing, lengthening its maturity profile and diversifying its funding sources. The proceeds of the Offer will be used to refinance the group's senior debt, thereby reducing its reliance on the existing DRP underwriting agreement for senior debt reduction. The Offer will enable the DB RREEF group to maintain the option to activate the DRP underwriting under the existing underwriting agreement, including appropriate investment opportunities should they arise.

The DB RREEF group's capital management strategy is aimed at achieving:

  • a a long term Gearing target of between 40 45%;
  • a funding diversity across a broad range of markets and investor bases:
  • a maturity profile that is broadly stepped across time to reduce liquidity and re-pricing risk;
  • a an optimal return for all stakeholders whilst maintaining financial flexibility for future business opportunities; and
  • a prudent management of interest rate and foreign exchange risks through hedging and matching of assets and liabilities.

4.4 financial profile and performance

On 28 February 2005, the DB RREEF group announced its first interim result since the restructure in September 2004 for the six months to 31 December 2004. The group achieved results ahead of the forecasts in the EM:

  • Met income before capital items attributed to Stapled Security holders of \$98.1 million:
  • BE Distributions to Stapled Security holders of \$136.5 million (or 5.2) cents per Stapled Security, which are approximately 40% tax deferred);
  • E Total assets of \$6.5 billion:
  • Blapled Security holder equity of \$3.3 billion;
  • MTA per Stapled Security of \$1.22; and
  • Gearing of 44%.

Pound Road West Dandenong, Victoria

DRFM has reviewed the forecasts as set out in the EM and is satisfied that the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts are currently tracking to achieve the forecast distributions as outlined below:

Year ended 30 June 2005 Year ended 30 June 2006
Distribution per Stacked Security 10.5 cents : . E.O cents

4.4.1 basis of preparation.

On 30 September 2004, DDF and its subsidiaries were formed by the stapling of Units in the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts. For the purposes of statutory reporting, the stapled entity reflects a consolidated group. The parent entity and deemed acquirer of the trusts is DDF. The basis of this approach is consistent with current practice in relation. to the financial reporting obligations of stapled entities that were formed after 1 July 2004. The consolidated results reflect the performance of the parent, DDF, from 1 July 2004 and the additions of DIT, DOT and DRO from the date of consolidation, being 1 October 2004 to 31 December 2004. Investors however are entitled to distributions and earnings of the underlying trusts from the period commencing I July 2004.

The pro forma group results have been prepared on the basis of aggregating all of the entity results from 1 July 2004 to 31 December 2004.

4.5 pro forma financial information

The historical and pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the assumptions outlined in Section 4.5.2 and the risk factors in Section 5.

4.5.2 assumptions made in preparing the pro formastatement of financial position

The above pro forma statement of financial position was prepared under the current Australian Accounting Standards, the accounting principles outlined in the 31 December 2004 DB RREEF Stapled Trusts half year financial statements and assumes the following:

  • the Offer raises \$200 million in gross proceeds;
  • » RENTS are classified as equity under the current Australian Accounting Standards;
  • the costs associated with the Offer are \$6.0 million and are offset against the proceeds of the Offer;
  • the net proceeds of \$194.0 million raised under the Offer are used to repay current interest bearing liabilities; and
  • » no properties have been sold, purchased or revalued since 31 December 2004.

4.5.3 pro forma distribution coverage

Based on an indicative Distribution Rate of 6.9533%, and assuming \$200 million was raised on I July 2004 to repay interest bearing liabilities, RENTS Distribution Amounts would have been \$7.0 million. and interest would have been \$47.4 million for the half year ended 31 December 2004. Based on the half year ended 31 December 2004, interest and RENTS distributions would have been 3.0 times. covered by EBITDA, as set out in the table below.

PLEASE NOTE: The table above does not reflect actual events and is hypothetical only. Past performance is not a guide to future performance.

4.5.4 international financial reporting standards

The adoption of Australian equivalents to IFRS will be first reflected in the financial statements for the half year ended 31 December 2005 and the year ended 30 June 2006.

DRFM has established a project team to manage the transition to Australian equivalents of IFRS, including training of staff and system and internal control changes necessary to gather all of the required financial information. In some cases choices of accounting policies are available, including elective exemptions under Accounting Standard AASB 1: First-time Adoption of Australian Equivalents to IFRS. Some of these choices are still being analysed to determine the most appropriate accounting policy for the DB RREEF group.

The major changes identified to date that will be required to existing accounting policies are as follows:

investment properties

Changes in the fair values of investment properties will be adjusted through the statement of financial performance rather than through the asset revaluation reserve in the statement of financial position. Certain real estate investments currently classified as investment properties. (such as properties under construction) may not meet the IFRS. definition of investment property. Therefore, a separate class of assets may be shown on the face of the statement of financial position.

financial instruments.

All interest rate and foreign currency derivatives will be recognised at fair value in the statements of financial position, with changes in fair value during the period recognised in the statements of financial performance, or if classified as a cash flow hedge and proved to be 100% effective, deferred in equity.

disclosure and presentation of equity.

Under current interpretation of Australian Accounting Standards, Stapled Securities and RENTS are classified as equity instruments in the statement of financial position.

Stapled Security holders may be asked to approve at the next annual general meeting certain amendments to the applicable DB RREEF Constitutions, the general effect of which is to remove the provision that will cause each DB RREEF Stapled Trust to automatically terminate on the 80th anniversary of its creation.

As a consequence, under the current interpretation of IERS, because the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts will have perpetual lives, Stapled Securities and RENTS are expected to continue to be classified as equity.

lease rental income

The DB RREEF group may be required to recognise rental income under leases which contain fixed increases on a straight line basis. unless another systematic basis is a better representation of the time. pattern over which the benefit of the leased asset is diminished.

other IFRS changes

The above changes should not be regarded as the only changes in accounting policies that will result from the transition to IFRS.

5 investment risks

THIS SECTION DESCRIBES THE RISKS THAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER BEFORE INVESTING IN RENTS.

This Section describes a number of significant risks, both specific to the DB RREEF group and general investment risks, which may materially and adversely affect the future financial performance and position of the DB RREEF group and the value of Stapled Securities and RENTS. You should note that this summary of investment risks. is not exhaustive and many of these risks are outside the control of the DB RREEF group.

Before applying for RENTS, you should carefully consider all of the risk factors set out in this Section and the other information set out in this PDS. You should consider seeking professional guidance from your financial or other professional adviser.

5.1 risks associated with investing in rents

5.1.1 (inancial performance and position of the DB RREEF group

Subject to the direction of the DOT RE, the Issuer has the right to initiate Exchange of a Holder's RENTS into Stapled Securities on or after the Step-up Date or earlier in certain circumstances. Consequently, the value of a Holder's investment in RENTS may be influenced by the financial performance and position of the DB RREEF group, regardless of when, if ever, RENTS are actually Exchanged.

5.1.2 financial market conditions

RENTS are expected to be listed on ASX and their market price may be more sensitive than that of Stapled Securities to changes in interest rates and credit margins. It is possible that RENTS may trade on ASX at a market price below or above the Face Value.

The market price of RENTS on ASX will fluctuate due to various factors including general movements in interest rates and credit margins, regional and international investment markets, economic conditions, political events and hostilities, investor perceptions, movements in the market price of Stapled Securities, and the financial performance and position of the DB RREEF group.

5.1.3 liquidity and restisation of RENTS

The market for RENTS may be fess figuid than the market for Stapled Securities, and there is a risk that Holders who wish to sell their RENTS may be unable to do so at a price that is acceptable to them, or at all, if insufficient liquidity exists in the market for RENTS.

5.1.4 distributions are not cumulative

RENTS are not debt instruments, and Distribution Amounts are not the same as interest payments. Distribution Amounts will only be paid to the extent that DB RREEF RENTS Trust receives sufficient. funds or the Issuer determines to distribute capital to Holders as outlined in Section 3.2.9. As Distribution Amounts are noncumulative, if a payment of a Distribution Amount is missed, Holderswill have no recourse to the payment from the Issuer or the Guaranters and it will not be paid subsequently unless it forms part. of the Optional Distribution Payment or the Unpaid Distribution Amount. The payment of any Optional Distribution Payment is at the discretion of the Issuer.

5.1.5 Market Rate

The Market Rate is determined at the start of each Distribution Period by reference to the 90 day bank bill rate. The 90 day bank bill rate is influenced by a number of factors and varies over time. Consequently, the Distribution Rate will both increase and decrease over time with movements in the 90 day bank bill rate.

As the Market Rate fluctuates, there is a risk that the Distribution Rate may become less or more attractive when compared to the rates. of return on comparable securities.

The graph below shows the movement in the 90 day bank bill rate over the past 20 years. The movement in the 90 day bank bill rate in the future may be greater or less than that shown in the graph. The graph should not be taken as an indication of future movements in the 90 day bank bill rate.

5.1.6 tax deferred distributions.

Distribution Amounts are expected to be 90% tax deferred over the period to the Step-up Date, but the achievement of this tax deferred status is not guaranteed. If Distribution Amounts are not 90% tax deferred, the Terms of Issue provide that Holders will be compensated via a Top Up Element prior to the Step-up Date, as outlined in Section 3.2.7. There is a risk that notwithstanding any Top. Up Element prior to the Step-up Date, Holders may not be fully compensated for the lower tax deferred amount and their after tax return may be lower than if the Distribution Amount had been 90%. tax deferred.

5.1.7 subordination and restriction on rights

The Guarantee is unsecured and subordinated. If a Winding-Up Event occurs in relation to any of the Guarantors. Holders will rank behind secured and unsubordinated creditors of that entity. No amount is payable by a Guarantor under the Guarantee if any amount is outstanding to Senior Creditors. Holders cannot require payment from a Guarantor in connection with RENTS prior to a Winding-Up Event in respect of that Guarantor. If a Guarantor is wound up, Holders will only have a right to receive payment of amounts claimed under the Guarantee from that Guarantor after all Senior Creditors and all secured and unsubordinated creditors have been paid in full. In the event of a shortfall of funds on a winding up of the Guarantors, there is a risk that Holders will not receive payment of amounts claimed under the Guarantee.

Holders are not party to and have no right to enforce the Exchange & Subscription Deed. Further, any claim made by the Issuer or DCT Trustee against the responsible entities of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts in respect of a breach of its obligations under the Exchange & Subscription Deed will be subordinated to claims which secured and unsubordinated creditors have against the responsible entities of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts. The Issuer and DCT Trustee will only have a right to receive payment in respect of a claim against the responsible entities of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts after all Senior Creditors and all secured and unsubordinated creditors have been paid in full (although the Issuer and DCT Trustee will retain the right to require specific performance of obligations of the responsible entities of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts to deliver Stapled Securities on Exchange in accordance with the Exchange & Subscription Deed and the Terms of Issue). In the event of a winding up of the responsible entities of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts, there is a risk that the Issuer and DCT Trustee will not receive payment of a successful claim made against the responsible entities of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts.

5 investment risks (continued)

Any claim made by the Issuer against DCT Trustee in connection with Preference Units in DCT held by the Issuer will be subordinated to claims which Senior Creditors have against DCT Trustee. The Issuer will only have a right to receive payment in respect of a claim against. DCT Trustee after all Senior Creditors have been paid in full. In the event of a winding up of DCT Trustee, there is a risk that the Issuer will not receive payment of a successful claim made against DCT Trustee in connection with Preference Units in DCT held by the Issuer.

The Issuer and DCT Trustee have no right to seek a winding up or appoint a receiver to, or exercise other material remedies against, or require a payment from, the responsible entities of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts in connection with a claim prior to a Winding-Up Event. in respect of the responsible entities of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts.

RENTS are not debt instruments. If DB RREEF RENTS Trust. is wound up, Holders will be entitled to a return of capital after Senior. Creditors have been paid. If there is a shortfall of funds, there is a risk that Holders will not receive a full return of income or capital due but unpaid.

The Terms of Issue, Guarantee Deed Poll and Exchange & Subscription Deed limit the rights of parties to seek a winding up of DCT Trustee, the Guarantors and the responsible entities of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts. In particular:

  • (a) Holders have no right to initiate a winding up or appoint a receiver to, or exercise other material remedies against any Guarantor, or require payment from a Guarantor in connection with RENTS prior to a Winding-Up Event of that Guarantor;
  • (b) the Issuer and DCT Trustee have no right to seek a winding up or appoint a receiver to, or require a payment from, the responsible entities of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts in connection with a claim made under the Exchange & Subscription Deed prior to a Winding-Up Event in respect of the responsible entities of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts; and
  • (c) the Issuer has no right to seek a winding up or appoint a receiver to, or require a payment from, the DCT Trustee in connection with Preference Units in DCT held by the Issuer prior to a Winding-Up Event in respect of the DCT Trustee.

5.1.8 Repurchase or Exchange by the Issuer

Subject to the direction of the DOT RE, the Issuer has the right to initiate Repurchase or Exchange of all or some of a Holder's RENTS. as outlined in Section 3.3. There is a risk that the timing or occurrence of Repurchase or Exchange may not accord with the individual preference of Holders.

Subject to the direction of the DOT RE, RENTS may be Exchanged into Stapled Securities on or after the Step-up Date or earlier in certain circumstances. The value of an investment in RENTS after Exchange will be the then market price of Stapled Securities. There is a risk that the market value of Stapled Securities a Holder receives. on the Realisation Date may be lower than the Face Value, if the market price of Stapled Securities on the Realisation Date is lower. than the price used in the Exchange ratio calculation.

Stapled Securities held by Holders as a result of Exchange will have the same rights as other Stapled Securities, which are different to the rights attached to RENTS.

5.1.9 future incurring of liabilities and future issuance of securities by the DB RREEF group

The DB RREEF group may raise more senior debt whether secured or unsecured. Additional debt raised may rank in priority to the Guarantee. The DB RREEF group may also issue further securities. that rank equally with the Guarantee. Holder approval is not required to raise this senior debt or issue these types of securities.

The DB RREEF group's existing senior debt facilities are subject to financial covenants and the DB RREEF group follows a capital management strategy as outlined in Section 4.3. However, futureincurring of liabilities and the issue of further securities by the DB. RREEF group may affect the market price and liquidity of Stapled Securities and RENTS, the ability of the Issuer to pay Distribution. Amounts on RENTS, and the sufficiency of funds to pay any amounts. due under the Guarantee if a Winding-Up Event occurs in relation to any of the Guarantors.

5.1.10 no holder right to require the issuer to Exchange RENTS

Holders cannot require the Issuer to Exchange their RENTS, and have only very limited rights to require the Issuer to Repurchase their RENTS, as outlined in Section 3.3. There is a risk that Exchange or Repurchase may not occur, or may be instigated by the Issuer at a date not previously contemplated by Holders, which may be disadvantageous to Holders in light of interest rates, market conditions or their individual circumstances at the time.

5.1.11 taxation implications.

The after tax returns from an investment in RENTS may be influenced by changes in taxation laws or their interpretation. A summary of the potential taxation implications for Holders is set out in the taxation report in Section 7. That report is in general terms and is not intended to provide specific advice in relation to the circumstances of any particular investor. Accordingly, Holders shouldseek independent advice in relation to their own individual taxation. circumstances.

Holders should be aware that future changes in Australian taxation. law, including changes in interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities in Australia, may affect the taxation treatment of an investment in RENTS or Stapled Securities, or the holding and disposal of RENTS or Stapled Securities. These changes may provide grounds for the Issuer to Repurchase or Exchange if DRFM determines that a Regulatory Event has occurred.

5.1.12 regulatory risks

A Regulatory Event is summarised in Section 3.3.10 and defined in clause 8 of the Terms of Issue. The Issuer (subject to the direction of the DOT RE) has the right to initiate Repurchase or Exchange of RENTS upon the occurrence of a Regulatory Event. There is no obligation on DRFM to resolve that a Regulatory Event has occurred, even if there are reasonable grounds to justify the passing of such a resolution.

Stapled Security holders may be asked to approve at the next annual general meeting of each DB RREEF Stapled Trust certain amendments to the applicable DB RREEF Constitution, the general effect of which is to remove the provision that will cause each DB RREEF Stapled Trust to automatically terminate on the 80th anniversary of its creation. If this approval is not granted, it is possible that RENTS may be classified as liabilities under IFRS. If RENTS are classified as liabilities, and Stapled Securities are not similarly classified, the Issuer (which will act at DOT RE's direction) reserves any right it may have to seek Repurchase or Exchange of RENTS on. the basis of a Regulatory Event.

5.2 risks associated with an investment in the DB RREEF group

5.2.1 general economic and financial market conditions.

The DB RREEF group's business is affected by regional and international economic conditions including changes to monetary policy, fiscal policy, interest rates, stock market indices, exchange rates, taxation rates and inflation. The DB RREEF group's business is also exposed to economic cycles and volatility.

Changes to these economic and financial market conditions may have an effect on the level of activity and demand for property in the DB RREEF group's markets and may have a material adverse effect. on the income of the DB RREEF group, the value of its property

pertfolio or have a material adverse effect on its financial performance and position.

5.2.2 ability to renew leases.

There is a risk that the DB RREEF group may not be able to negotiate lease extensions with some existing tenants as lease terms expire, or replace expiring leases with leases on equivalent terms. Further, the ability of the DB RREEF group to secure lease renewals and/or obtain replacement tenants may be influenced by demand for and supply of properties and space in its major markets or any leasing incentives. granted to prospective tenants. These may have an impact on the income of the DB RREEF group, occupancy rates and value of its property portfolio.

5.2.3 lease default

The ability for tenants to meet their tease commitments is affected by their financial standing. There is a possibility that some tenants may default on their lease commitments or other obligations under leases, leading to capital losses or a reduction in the income or value of the DB RREEF group's property portfolio.

5.2.4 investment opportunities and new property acquisitions.

The DB RREEF group regularly examines investment opportunities and new property acquisitions. The successful implementation of the DB RREEF group's investment and property acquisition strategy will depend on a number of factors, including availability and timely identification of attractive investment and property opportunities, property market conditions and fundamentals, ability to attract tenants with strong financial standing, and the successful integration of these investment opportunities or property acquisitions.

5.2.5 funding of capital expenditure

The DB RREEF group is responsible for funding capital expenditure, whether scheduled or unforeseen, on its property portfolio. A significant increase in capital expenditure would increase the DB RREEF group's funding costs. Any inability to procure funding to undertake capital expenditure may impact the value of the DB RREEF group's property portfolio.

5.2.6 continued access to capital markets.

Continued access to capital markets, including to debt, hybrid, equity or other markets, is important to the DB RREEF group's business, including the ability to pursue new investment opportunities. Restrictions on access to these markets may adversely impact the DB RREEF group's ability to execute its strategy.

5.2.7 figuidity of investments.

The DB RREEF group invests in property and other assets which are not listed on a stock exchange or for which there may only be a limited number of potential investors. Accordingly, these investments may be illiquid in nature, which may lead their rea@sable va@e to be less than their expected value.

5.2.8 offshore exposure.

The DB RREEF group derives earnings from its investment in properties in the US and New Zealand, which are denominated in US dollars and New Zealand dollars respectively. Whilst the DB RREEF group has policies in place to manage these foreign exchange rate exposures, there is a risk that these policies will not completely eliminate these exposures.

In addition to foreign exchange rate exposures, US investments involve additional risks, including potential changes to the taxation treatment of the REIT through which the properties are held, and the existing taxation treaty between the US and Australia.

5.2.9 litigation

The DB RREEF group may be involved in legal disputes and arbitration proceedings from time to time. The DB RREEF group is not able to predict the outcome of these matters, and an adverse outcome in relation to these matters may result in a significant impact on the income of the DB RREEF group and have a material adverse effection its financial performance and position.

5.2.10 insprance

The availability of insurance at a reasonable price and on appropriate terms is important to the DB RREEF group's operations, however, it is not guaranteed. Certain types of events (such as terrorist attacks). may be uninsurable. The inability of the DB RREEF group to negotiate appropriate insurance terms, or the occurrence of an uninsured event, may have a material adverse effect on its financial performance and position.

5.2.11 changes in law and government policy

The DB RREEF group's operations are affected by compliance with government policy, laws and regulations. The group's business is subject to a range of government regulations including environmental and industrial (including occupational health and safety) regulations. Changes in government policy, laws and regulations may have a material adverse effect on the DB RREEF group's financial performance and position.

A change of taxation or stamp duty laws or interpretation of taxation or stamp duty laws could also influence the financial return of Holders.

5.2.12 international Financial Reporting Standards

For reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2005, the DB RREEF group will be required to comply with IFRS as issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board. Holders should be aware that IFRS may affect the results of the DB RREEF group from that date. The differences between Australian GAAP and IFRS, identified to date, could potentially have a material adverse effect on the DB RREEF group's financial performance and position. There is a risk of further unexpected consequences of IFRS compliance. For further details see Section 4.5.4.

5.2.13 possible effects of call rights and other matters.

A number of properties and shareholdings that the DB RREEF group owns or has an interest are subject to call rights provisions. These types of provisions are common for jointly held assets, particularly when dealing with substantial co-owners. These arrangements were entered into at arms length and on commercial terms, and were a requirement of the relevant vendors.

These provisions may be triggered upon certain takeover events occurring in relation to the DB RREEF group.

These include call right provisions in relation to the following properties:

Westfield Shoppingtown, Mt Druitt and Westfield Hurstville; and

Morth Lakes, Pienty Valley, WestLakes and Whitford City.

The DB RREEF Stapled Trusts' interests in the US Assets are also subject to pre-emptive rights provisions by virtue of the shareholding arrangements in the US Joint Venture.

The interest of DRO in DB RREEF Funds Management Limited is also subject to provisions which mean that EAP may put its shares and loan notes in DRH to DRO. In such case, this would end the legal relationship between Deutsche Bank (through its subsidiary FAP). and the DB RREEF group and potentially limit the ability of the Issuer to leverage off this relationship.

There is a risk that the DB RREEF group may be less attractive to third party adquirers as a result of these types of provisions.

$5.2.14$ other risks.

There are other specific risks which may have a material adverse effect on the DB RREEF group's income, value of its property portfolio or its financial performance or position. These include:

  • a an inability of the DB RREEF group to maintain or grow its third party property management business on an ongoing basis;
  • a failure or inability of the DB RREEF group to continue to attract or retain key personnel on terms acceptable to it;
  • a incurrence of contingent liabilities from time to time, as disclosed in the DB RREEF group's periodic reports;
  • a changes in non-recoverable property outgoings, maintenance as well as other factors affecting market rentals;
  • a unforeseen environmental liabilities; and
  • a competitive pressure that limits the DB RREEF group's ability to successfully implement its business strategy.

Administration costs

For each of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts, DRFM's right of indemnity and reimbursement extends to liabilities to its creditors (in its capacity as responsible entity of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts), notwithstanding that the assets of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts may have suffered a loss or diminished in value as a consequence of any uarelated act, omission or breach of trust by DRFM or any person acting on its behalf. These costs include, but are not limited to, audit fees, custodian fees, legal fees, registry costs, listing fees, accountant's fees, ASIC fees, costs associated with the sending out of Holding Statements and distribution cheques, meeting costs, compliance costs, communications with holders of Units, fees of asset and property managers, rates, insurance and building operating expenses (except to the extent that they are borne by tenants).

Based on amounts retribursed for the half year ending 31 December 2004 (but excluding costs associated with the stapling of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts), DRFM estimates that it will be entitled to be indemnified or reimbursed the following amounts (on an annualised basis). All amounts shown are percentages of the gross asset value of the relevant DB RREEF Stapled Trust:

  • m DDF 0.004% per annum;
  • m DIT 0.016% per annum;
  • DOT 0.016% per annum; and
  • DRO 0.000% per annum.

Based on these estimates and the 31 December 2004 gross asset values in the base management fee example above, and assuming that there are 2,625,363,849 Stapled Securities on issue, DRFM estimates that it will be entitled to be reimbursed out of the assets of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts \$2.3 million per annum, which equates to \$0.001 per Stapled Security per annum, calculated as follows:

DDF entitlement $\approx$ 0.004% x \$6.887 million per annum
= \$0.3 million per annum
DIT entitlement $\approx$ 0.016% x \$6.887 million per annum
= \$1 million per annum
DOT entitlement $= 0.016\%$ x \$6,887 million per annum
= \$1 million per annum
DRO entitlement $\approx$ 0.000% x \$6,887 million per annum
= \$0 million per annum
-Total entitlement = \$2.3 million per annum

Trailing fees

Trail commissions will not be paid and fee rebates will not be offered to financial advisers by DRFM in connection with the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts.

GST

If DREM is required to pay GST on the supply of any goods or services made in connection with any of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts or in relation to its fees, it may recover an amount equal to the GST from the assets of the relevant DB RREEF Stapled Trust to the extent allowable under the DB RREEF Constitutions.

Other fees

DRH, for the provision of property management services, may also charge fees for each of the following services:

  • » property management fees;
  • mew lease fees:
  • lease renewal and option fees;
  • a rental review fees;
  • a routine works fees:
  • a development fees; and
  • as sales and acquisition fees.

Other payments from DRH and DRFM

DRH and DRFM have entered into agreements with Deutsche Australia Limited (DAL), DeAM, Deutsche Bank and RREEF to provide certain services in relation to the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts. These are summarised as follows:

  • » Brand Control and Trade Mark Licence Deed this deed gives DRFM a licence to use certain trade marks incorporating the Deutsche brand. DRFM may be required to reimburse costs incurred by Deutsche Bank parties in monitoring DRFM's use of those trade marks and the brand; and
  • Transitional Services Agreement under this agreement DAL will provide operational services for a transitional period until DRFM and DRH have developed an operational infrastructure. DRFM and DRH will be required to pay the calculated service fees and passthrough costs.

27 April 2005
Dear Sirs
Real-estate perpetual ExchaNgeable sTep-up Securities ("RENTS")– Taxation Report
This Taxation Report ("Report") has been prepared for inclusion in the Product Disclosure
Statement ("PDS"), to be dated on or around 27 April 2005, for the offer to issue RENTS by the DB
RREEF RENTS Trust (the "Trust").
This Report is intended as a brief guide only, and is necessarily general in nature. The tax
implications for investors may differ depending on their individual circumstances. In particular, the
taxation information in this Report applies only to Australian resident individual investors who hold
RENTS on capital account ("Investors") and may not apply to investors who are traders or are
carrying on a business which includes deriving gains from the disposal of RENTS.
The taxation of a unit trust such as the Trust can be complex and may change over time.
Accordingly, Investors are recommended to seek professional taxation advice in relation to their
own individual position.
This Report is based on the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) (as amended) and the Income
Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) (as amended) and on interpretations and practices in relation thereto,
all as at the date of this Report.
It should be noted that Australia has undergone recent major taxation reform. There is some
uncertainty as to the breadth and ultimate impact of this reform. The precise meaning of some of
the new legislation is unclear and, of course, it has generally not been tested before the courts.
Accordingly, there is a degree of uncertainty applying to matters impacted by such legislation.

PRICEWATERHOUSE COPERS

The information contained in this letter does not constitute "financial product advice" within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ("Corporations Act"). PricewaterhouseCoopers, which is providing this Report, is not licensed to provide financial product advice under the Corporations Act. To the extent that this Report contains any information about a "financial product" within the meaning of the Corporations Act, taxation is only one of the matters that must be considered when making a decision about the relevant financial product. This Report has been prepared for general circulation and does not take into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of any recipient. Accordingly, any recipient should, before acting on this material, consider taking independent financial advice from a person who is licensed to provide financial product advice under the Corporations Act.

In this Report, capitalised terms have the meanings set out in the Glossary to the PDS and the Terms of Issue, except where otherwise indicated.

Taxation of the Trust

Based on current tax legislation, the Trust should not generally be liable for income tax as it is intended that Investors will be presently entitled to all of the income of the Trust in any year of income.

A trust may be taxed broadly like a company in certain circumstances, where either the trust is a corporate unit trust as defined in Division 6B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth), or it is a public trading trust as defined in Division 6C in respect of the year. Based on information provided to us, and based on the proposed activities of the Trust as set out in the PDS, we do not believe that the Trust will satisfy the conditions requiring it to be treated as a Division 6B corporate unit trust. Also, we do not believe that the Trust will satisfy the conditions requiring it to be treated as a Division 6C public trading trust in the year of the issue of the RENTS. We would expect the same conclusion in respect of Division 6C to apply in the future, but note that the test is year by year and looks at the activities of the Trust at any time in each year. Accordingly, whether Division 6C will apply for any particular year will depend upon the activities of the Trust in that year.

Where a revenue loss or net capital loss is incurred by the Trust, the loss cannot be passed on to Investors for tax purposes. Instead, revenue tax losses will be carried forward in the Trust and offset against assessable income derived in future years. Net capital losses will be carried forward in the Trust and offset against future capital gains.

Legislation exists which restricts the circumstances in which trusts may claim an allowable deduction for prior and current year revenue losses. The Trust would need to satisfy the tests for deductibility of the losses before any revenue losses incurred could be utilised. The tests for deductibility of prior year losses do not apply to capital losses.

Taxation of Australian-resident Investors

    1. Distributions Received
  • 1.1 Taxation of Distributions

A distribution by the Trust may be made up of an income and/or capital component.

Investors will be required to include their share of the taxable income of the Trust in their assessable income in the year in which their entitlement to the income of the Trust arises. An Investor's share of the taxable income of the Trust for a year ended 30 June must therefore be included as assessable income for the financial year ended on that date. This applies irrespective of whether income distributions from the Trust are paid in the same income year, the following income year or reinvested in the Trust.

Distributions may include a tax deferred component. A tax deferred amount is usually attributable to returns of capital, tax depreciation, building allowance and other tax timing differences. Our understanding of the current practice of the ATO is that tax deferred amounts are not treated as assessable income when received by an Investor, unless and until the total tax deferred amounts received by an Investor exceed the cost base of their RENTS. For capital gains tax ("CGT") purposes, tax deferred distributions received will reduce the cost base of RENTS for Investors and therefore affect the Investors' capital gain/loss on disposal of the RENTS.

1.2 Taxation of Optional Distribution Payments

If an Optional Distribution Payment is made by the Trust, the tax treatment of that payment should be the same as described above for other distributions (refer 1.1 above). Where the payment is made by DRFM, the payment would be assessable in full. We have been advised that the source and nature of any Optional Distribution Payment will be advised to Investors at the time of payment (if any).

1.3 Taxation of Guarantee Payments

On the basis that the Guarantee payment would be in satisfaction of an Investor's entitlement to distributions, the tax treatment of the payment should be the same as for such distributions (refer 1.1 above).

PRICEWATERHOUSE COPERS

    1. Disposal of RENTS
  • 2.1 Overview

A disposal of RENTS will constitute a CGT event. Broadly, Investors must include any realised capital gain or loss on the disposal of RENTS in the calculation of their net capital gain or loss for the year. A net capital gain arises where all realised capital gains exceed all realised capital losses. This net capital gain is included in the Investor's assessable income for that year. In the opposite situation, a net capital loss will arise. This amount is not deductible for the year but may be carried forward until the Investor has realised capital gains in future years against which the net capital loss can be offset.

The net capital gain to Investors is worked out as follows:

  • The capital gain or loss on the RENTS is the excess or shortfall of disposal proceeds over the cost base of the RENTS.
  • If RENTS have been held for less than 12 months this is the amount of gain or loss included in the net capital gain calculation for the year.
  • If RENTS have been held for 12 months or more and there is a loss, similarly this loss is included in the net capital gain calculation for the year.
  • If RENTS have been held for 12 months or more and there is a gain, a discounting factor may be available to certain Investors. The gain on the RENTS is initially reduced by any other capital losses of the Investor. If as a result, a net capital gain arises it may be reduced by the discount factor. The discount factor for individuals is 50%.
  • 2.2 Taxation treatment on Disposal of RENTS on the ASX

The disposal of RENTS on the ASX will constitute a CGT event. The consideration for the disposal will be the amount received from the purchaser.

2.3 Exchange for Stapled Securities

The Exchange of RENTS for Stapled Securities will constitute a CGT event. The consideration for the Exchange will be equal to the Face Value of the RENTS (and any Unpaid Distribution Amount) which will be applied to subscribe for Stapled Securities.

The issue of Stapled Securities under the Exchange Process will constitute an acquisition for CGT purposes of each of the underlying units of the trusts that are stapled together to form the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts. The initial cost base of the Stapled Securities will be the Face Value (and any Unpaid Distribution Amount) of the RENTS that are Exchanged apportioned on a reasonable basis across each underlying unit of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts.

2.4 Repurchase of RENTS

The Repurchase of RENTS will constitute a CGT event. The consideration for the disposal will be the amount received by the investor from DOT.

Tax File Numbers or Australian Business Numbers

An Investor need not quote a Tax File Number ("TFN") when applying for RENTS. However, if a TFN is not quoted, or no appropriate TFN exemption information is provided, tax is required to be deducted from any income distribution entitlement at the highest marginal tax rate plus Medicare levy (currently 48.5%).

Investors that hold RENTS as part of their business may quote their Australian Business Number instead of their TFN.

Goods and Services Tax

The purchase and disposal of RENTS is not subject to GST.

Yours faithfully

8.4 material document summaries

8.4.1 OB RREEF Stapled Trust constitutions

The constitutions of DDF, DIT, DOT and DRO are identical in all material respects, and are therefore collectively referred to inthis Section as the DB RREEF Constitution. The provisions of the DB RREEF Constitution are summarised below. However each DB RREEF Constitution is a lengthy and complex document and potential investors should confirm all information by reference to the DB RREEF Constitution itself. Those parties who require a copy of any DB RREEF Constitution free of charge may call the InfoLine on 1800 819 675. A copy of each DB RREEF Constitution is also available on the DB RREEF group's website at www.dbrreef.com.

DRFM will amend the DB RREEF Constitution to provide for the issue of Stapled Securities on Exchange. This PDS, including the summary of the DB RREEF Constitution set out below, describes the DB RREEF Constitution as amended.

The provisions of the Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules, as amended from time to time, and instruments and waivers issued under them, affect the terms of the DB RREEF Constitution and the rights and obligations of the Issuer and the unitholders under it and neither those provisions nor their effect on the DB RREEF Constitution have been summarised below.

The DB RREEF Constitution is governed by the laws of New South Wales.

(a) Vesting of assets and nature of Units

Each asset of the DB RREEF Stapled Trust is vested in and held by the responsible entity on behalf of the unitholders. The beneficial interest in the DB RREEF Stapled Trust is divided into Units.

The responsible entity may issue Units in different classes and may convert or reclassify Units from one class to another. Subject to the constitution, the liability of a unitholder is limited to its investment in the DB RREEF Stapled Trust.

(b) Issues of Units on conversion of RENTS

In addition, the DB RREEF Constitution specifies that the liability of the responsible entity to any person in respect of the DB RREEF Stapled Trust is limited to the responsible entity's ability to be indemnified out of the DB RREEF Stapled Trust's assets.

The DB RREEF Constitution also expressly states that, except where the Corporations Act provides otherwise, the responsible entity is not responsible for any costs incurred:

  • s by any fraudulent or negligent conduct or any breach of duty or breach of trust by any agent, attorney, custodian or delegate or any of their agents or delegates;
  • is by relying on any information, notice, resolution or other documents unless it reasonably believes that such item is not genuine or has not been passed or executed by the proper parties; or
  • is by any failure of a third party to carry out an agreement with the responsible entity or any of its agents or delegates.

(f) remuneration of the responsible entity

Under the DB RREEF Constitution, the responsible entity is entitled to a fee based on the gross asset value of the DB RREEF. Stapled Trust, catculated at the rate of 1% per annum (although the responsible entity currently intends to charge a maximum of 0.45% per annum). The fee accrues daily and is calculated on a monthly basis on the last day of each month and is payable monthly. in arrears. There are no explicit provisions relating to separate property management fees.

The responsible entity has a right to be indemnified out of the assets of the DB RREEF Stapled Trust for any liability incurred by it in the performance of its duties, the exercise of its powers, the course of its office or in relation to the administration of the trust and under the DB RREEF Constitution:

  • » a schedule (Schedule 2) specifies in detail most (but not all) of the costs of the DB RREEF Stapled Trust for which the responsible entity is entitled to be indemnified out of the assets of the DB RREEF Stapled Trust; and
  • » the responsible entity may be indemnified out of DB RREEF Stapled Trust assets in respect of liabilities properly incurred notwithstanding that the DB RREEF Stapled Trust may have suffered a loss or diminished in value as a consequence of any unrelated act, omission or breach of trust by the responsible entity or any person or entity acting on its behalf.

(g) compliance committee

The DB RREEF Constitution provides that distribution periods for the DB RREEF Stapled Trust will be six month periods, ending on 30 Jane and 31 December in each year (or such other periods as the responsible entity may determine in its discretion). The responsible entity must distribute all amounts to unitholders within three months of the end of each distribution period, unless the responsible entity determines that it is in the best interests of the unitholders to delay the distribution.

Under the DB RREEF Constitution, the responsible entity may at any time satisfy its distribution obligations to a unitholder in Units, rather than cash, and may retain any otherwise distributable amounts in satisfaction of any amounts payable to the responsible entity by the unitholder.

If there is an increase in the amount of withholding taxes payable. on distributions received by any of the DB RREEF Stapled Trusts, a Stapled Security holder will receive a reduced cash distribution but greater corresponding foreign tax credit amounts. If such a Stapled Security holder should sell their Stapled Securities between the record date and the date of payment of the relevant distribution, then the Stapled Security holders' cash distribution will be further reduced without any change to the amount of the corresponding foreign tax credit.

If a DB RREEF Stapled Trust is not taxed as a company the amount to be distributed to Stapled Security holders is determined by the responsible entity and if no determination is made the amount is determined by reference to the income from the DB RREEF Stapled Trust's operations. In addition, capital may be distributed.

If a DB RREEF Stapled Trust is taxed as a company, the responsible entity has complete discretion as to how much, if any, income or capital may be distributed.

In determining the distributable income, the responsible entity does not have to take into account accounting standards or generally accepted accounting principles and practices which apply to trusts.

(j) transfers of Units

While the DB RREEF Stapled Trust is listed on the ASX, Units may be transferred as part of Stapled Securities in accordance with the Business Rules of the clearing house of the ASX and the Corporations Act. Transfers of Units are not effective until registered by the responsible entity.

(k) retirement and removal of the responsible entity

The responsible entity may retire and can be replaced in accordance. with the Corporations Act.

For the purposes of calculating VWAP, if, on some or all of the Business Days in the relevant period, Stapled Securities have been quoted on ASX as cum dividend, or cum any other distribution or entitlement, but Stapled Securities will be issued under these Terms ex such dividend, other distribution or entitlement, then the VWAP on the Business Days on which those Stapled Securities have been quoted cum dividend, other distribution or entitlement shall be reduced by an amount equal to:

  • (c) in the case of an entitlement not traded on ASX during the relevant period, the value of the entitlement as reasonably determined by the Issuer.

Conversely, where on some or all of the Business Days in the relevant period, Stapled Securities have been quoted on ASX as ex dividend or any other distribution or entitlement, but Stapled Securities will be issued under these Terms cum such dividend, other distribution or entitlement, then the VWAP on the Business Days on which those Stapled Securities have been quoted ex dividend, other distribution or entitlement shall be increased in accordance with clauses (a), (b) and (c) above in this definition of VWAP (with the necessary changes).

Where a specified period is stated in relation to the determination of VWAP and on any of the Business.
