-
Access to circa 92,600 square metres of prime grade office space, including a brand new premium office tower with large floor plates and a 5 star energy rating
-
Significant positive rental reversions forecast on existing tower
-
Substantial leasing progress made on new premium tower with 8.4 year Weighted Average Lease Expiry ( “WALE” ) on committed space
-
Increases Dexus’s office portfolio weighting to the strong Melbourne CBD office market from 9% to 17%[4]
-
Melbourne has the fastest growing population of any capital city in Australia
-
Melbourne CBD office vacancy rate of 3.7% supports significant rental increases
-
Melbourne office capital values per square metre compare favourably with global gateway office markets
-
Attractive acquisition structure and metrics
-
Fixed price acquisition with Dexus driving leasing outcomes from initial settlement[2,5]

Monthly coupon payment equating to 5.4% per annum in relation to Tranche 1 and 2 payments contributed towards the South Tower, Retail Podium and Hotel until handover by the Vendor[6]
-
Equivalent yield of 5.3% and IRR of circa 8%
Dexus’s funding requirement to acquire its 75% share of the 80 Collins precinct is $1.107 billion. This funding contribution will be made in four tranches between May 2019 and August 2020. Tranches 1 and 2, totalling $833 million[7] , will be paid in May and June 2019. Tranches 3 and 4 totalling $274 million are expected to be paid in July and August 2020 respectively[8] .

-
A fully underwritten $900 million institutional placement ( “Placement” )[9] , and
-
A non-underwritten Security Purchase Plan ( “SPP” ) to eligible Dexus Security holders in Australia and New Zealand to raise up to $50 million[10]
Citigroup Global Markets Australia Pty Limited, J.P. Morgan Securities Australia Limited and Merrill Lynch Equities (Australia) Limited are acting as Joint Lead Managers, Bookrunners and Underwriters of the Placement. Dexus was advised by Citigroup Global Markets Australia Pty Limited, Deutsche Bank AG, Sydney Branch, Greenhill & Co., J.P. Morgan Securities Australia Limited and Merrill Lynch Markets (Australia) Pty Limited in relation to the Acquisition.

Acquisition and Equity Raising 2 May 2019 (Not for distribution into the United States)
Ke risks y
A number of risks and uncertainties, which are both specific to Dexus and of a more general nature, may affect the future operating and financial performance of Dexus and the value of its stapled securities. This section identifies the key risks associated with an investment in Dexus stapled securities. These risks are not exhaustive of the risks faced by potential investors in Dexus. You should consider carefully the risks described in this section, as well as other information in this presentation and the announcement to which it is attached, and consult your financial or other professional adviser before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks materialise, Dexus’s business, financial condition and operational results are likely to suffer. In this case, the trading price of Dexus stapled securities may fall and you may lose all or part of your investment, and/or the distributable income of Dexus may be lower than expected or zero, with distributions being reduced or being cut to zero.
Dexus specific risks
Acquisition and business opportunities
At any time, Dexus may be undertaking due diligence on a number of potential acquisition opportunities both on its own account and with joint venture parties. Further, as described in this presentation, the Placement is being undertaken to fund the Acquisition. When Dexus proceeds with any opportunity, it is possible that Dexus may not uncover issues that may later have an adverse impact on Dexus. Risks which may arise in pursuing new opportunities or acquisitions which may adversely affect Dexus’s future value or profitability, include:
-
any of the acquisition or business opportunities performing below expectations;
-
capital expenditure required in any of the acquisition or business opportunities being greater than expected;
-
breakdown in relationship with a joint venture partner; or
-
a downturn in the relevant local market conditions.
Development activities
Dexus has several development projects underway. Under certain contracts entered into under these development projects, the contractors assume the financial risks relating to completion delays and cost overruns except for tenant and owner requested contract variations. Dexus has also obtained performance guarantees from its contractors. However, there can be no assurance that Dexus will not be adversely impacted by the failure of a contractor to deliver the project as agreed. Where certain development projects are only partially leased, there is no income guarantee on any remaining vacancies at practical completion.
Dexus has entered into several tenancy agreements for certain development projects. While Dexus believes that it will be able to secure tenants for the remaining vacancies, there can be no guarantee that Dexus will be able to do so.
The earnings, cash flows and valuations of these developments are impacted by a number of factors including construction costs, scheduled completion dates, assumed post completion occupancy, assumed rentals achieved and the ability of tenants to meet rental obligations. Dexus has a pipeline of future and prospective development projects which have not yet commenced and in some instances, which have not yet secured necessary authority approvals and consents. There is no certainty that these approvals will be secured or that the projects will be activated.
For the Acquisition, the consortium will assume all liabilities under development documentation. However, an entity in the seller’s corporate group will manage the development and the seller will retain responsibility for funding all development costs (with the consortium effectively having the obligation to contribute $290 million to those costs to complete). Up until the earlier of final completion and a sunset date of 31 August 2022, that responsibility will be capped at $1.345 billion. After that sunset date, the responsibility for further development costs will be capped to an additional amount of $850 million. In addition, the seller retains responsibility for funding particular third party claims in connection with the development up to a cap of $50 million. To deal with insolvency risk associated with the seller’s funding obligation, the seller’s parent (an entity of significant substance) has guaranteed the seller’s obligations.

Refinancing requirements
Dexus is exposed to risks relating to the refinancing of existing debt instruments and facilities.
Dexus has $350 million of debt maturing in the 12 months from the date of this presentation (including Dexus’s share of repayment obligations from its 50% ownership in Dexus Office Trust Australia, on a look-through basis). It may be difficult for Dexus to refinance all or some of these and other debt maturities.
Further, if some or all of these debt maturities can be refinanced, they may be on less favourable terms than is currently the case.
Availability of capital (including debt finance)
Real estate investment and development is highly capital intensive.
Dexus’s ability to raise funds in the future (including obtaining additional debt finance to fund acquisitions and ensuring sufficient debt funding headroom is retained within its capital management policies) on favourable terms depends on a number of factors including general economic conditions, political, capital and credit market conditions and the reputation, performance and financial strength of Dexus’s business. Many of these factors are outside Dexus’s control and may increase the cost and availability of capital.
Dexus holds an investment grade credit rating from Standard & Poor’s of A-(Stable) and holds an investment grade credit rating of A3 (Stable) from Moody’s. Any downgrade to Dexus’s credit rating may impact access to capital.
Impact of financing covenants
Dexus’s financiers require it to maintain certain gearing and other ratios under various debt covenants. As of the date of this presentation, Dexus is in compliance with all covenants under its debt facilities. In the event that these covenants are breached, financiers may seek to exercise enforcement rights under debt documentation.
No financiers’ rights under Dexus’s current debt facilities are triggered as a result of adverse market capitalisation movements.
Impact of interest rates
Dexus’s interest cost on floating rate debt will increase if benchmark interest rates increase. This would reduce earnings and cashflow available for distribution to Dexus Security holders.
Dexus manages its exposure to adverse fluctuations in floating interest rates by entering into interest rate hedging instruments, however the impact of interest rate hedging may be negative, depending on the extent, timing or direction of movements in underlying rates.
Financial forecasts and forward looking statements
There is no guarantee that the assumptions contained within forward-looking statements or estimates (including as to Dexus’s future earnings and earnings guidance) in this presentation will ultimately prove to be accurate. The forwardlooking statements and forecasts depend on a variety of factors, many of which are beyond Dexus’s control, including those described in this Appendix C.

Ke risks continued y ( )
A-REIT sector risks
Illiquid assets
Property assets are by their nature illiquid investments. If property assets are required to be disposed in order to raise liquidity, it may not be possible to dispose of assets in a timely manner or at an optimal price. This may affect NTA or the market price of Dexus stapled securities.
Returns from investments
The value, expectations of capital growth, and returns from Dexus’s property assets will fluctuate depending on property market conditions. Rental and occupancy levels may change as a result of changes in the property market and general economic conditions (including conditions relating to retail, office, logistics & business park and development assets), and this may affect the distributions paid by Dexus and the market price of Dexus stapled securities.
The ability to procure tenants (including timing and rental paid), demand for property from investors and the expenses in operating, refurbishing and maintaining properties, may influence the value of Dexus’s assets. The supply of competing buildings, both existing and new, may also affect the ability to secure lease renewals, retain existing tenants or obtain new tenants. If Dexus cannot negotiate lease renewals or maintain existing lease terms, income and book values may be adversely impacted.
Changing investor demand for property investments
The demand for property and listed property securities may change as investor preferences for particular sectors and asset classes change.
The demand for property as an asset class changes over time and can be influenced by general economic factors such as interest rates, stock market cycles and exchange rates.
Asset and land values
Asset values are affected by many factors including prevailing market conditions, risk appetite, volume of sales, the ability to procure tenants, contracted rental returns, operating, maintenance and refurbishment expenses and the funding environment.
From time to time unanticipated events occur that affect the value of land or development costs which may in turn affect the financial returns from property investment, projects and property related business.
Time delays
Development approvals, slow decision-making by counterparties, complex construction specifications and changes to design briefs, legal issues and other documentation changes may give rise to delays in completion of projects, loss of revenue and cost overruns. Additionally, delays in completion of projects may, in turn, result in liquidated damages and termination of lease agreements and pre-sale agreements.
Other time delays may arise in relation to construction and development projects include supply of labour, scarcity of construction materials, lower than expected productivity levels, inclement weather conditions, land contamination, difficult site access or industrial relations issues.
Objections raised by community interest groups, environmental groups and neighbours may also delay the granting of planning approvals or the overall progress of a project motion. Major infrastructure requirements or unanticipated environmental issues may affect financial returns.

Ke risks continued y ( )
Property leasing
There is a risk that tenants default on their rent or other obligations under leases, leading to capital losses or a reduction in income from those assets. This risk can be greater where there is high tenant concentration.
There is also a risk that it may not be possible to negotiate lease renewals or maintain existing lease terms. If this occurs, income and book values may be adversely impacted.
Counterparty / credit risk
A-REITs are exposed to the risk that third parties, such as tenants, developers, service providers and financial counterparties (including in relation to debt and foreign exchange and interest rate hedging instruments) and other contracts may not be willing or able to perform their obligations.
Fixed nature of costs
Many costs associated with the ownership and management of property assets are fixed in nature. The value of assets may be adversely affected if the income from the asset declines and these fixed costs remain unchanged.
Capital expenditure
A-REITs are exposed to the risk of unforeseen capital expenditure requirements in order to maintain the quality of the buildings and tenants.
Environmental matters
A-REITs are exposed to a range of environmental risks which may result in project delays or additional expenditure. In such situations, they may be required to undertake remedial works and potentially be exposed to third party liability claims and/or environmental liabilities such as penalties or fines.
Insurance
A-REITs purchase insurance, customarily carried by property owners, managers, developers and construction entities that provides a degree of protection for its assets, liabilities and people. Such policies include material damage of assets, contract works, business interruption, general and professional liability and workers compensation. There are however certain risks that are uninsurable (e.g. nuclear, chemical or biological incidents) or risks where the insurance coverage is reduced (e.g. cyclone, earthquake).
A-REITs may face risk associated with the financial strength of their insurers to meet indemnity obligations when called upon which could have an adverse impact on earnings.
Further, insurance may be materially detrimentally affected by economic conditions so that insurance becomes more expensive or in some cases, unavailable.
Regulatory issues
Changes in relevant laws, accounting standards, other legal, legislative and administrative regimes, and government policies (including Government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies), may have an adverse effect on the assets, operations and, ultimately, the financial performance of Dexus. These factors may ultimately affect Dexus’s financial position and performance and the market price of Dexus stapled securities.

Acquisition and Equity Raising 2 May 2019 (Not for distribution into the United States)
Ke risks continued y ( )
Taxation
Changes in tax law (including goods and services taxes and stamp duties), or changes in the way taxation laws are interpreted may impact the future tax liabilities of Dexus and/or stapled Security holders. Under current income tax legislation, Dexus’s “flow-through” trusts are generally not liable for Australian income tax, including CGT. Should the actions or activities of one of Dexus’s “flow-through” trusts (or their controlled entities) cause the relevant trust to fall within the operative provisions of Division 6C of Part III of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth), the relevant trust may be taxed on its (taxable) income at a rate which is currently equivalent to the corporate income tax rate of 30%.
Dexus’s “flow-through” trusts currently qualify as withholding managed investment trusts such that the taxable part of the distributions to non-residents in certain jurisdictions, are subject to a withholding tax rate of 15%. Some requirements to qualify as a withholding managed investment trust are outside of Dexus’s control, including the requirement that no non-resident individual has a 10% or greater stake in the group. Although Dexus does not expect this to occur, if Dexus’s “flow-through” trusts cease to qualify as withholding managed investment trusts then the rate of tax imposed on non-resident stapled Security holders could increase.
The attribution managed investment trusts ( AMITs ) regime under the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth) is intended to improve the operation of the taxation law for AMITs by increasing certainty, allowing greater flexibility and reducing compliance costs. Dexus’s “flow-through” trusts elected to be AMITs on and from 1 July 2016.
Under the AMIT regime it is not a requirement that Security holders be presently entitled to all of the income of a trust in order to prevent the trustee of the AMIT being subject to tax. The AMIT regime imposes the liability for income tax upon stapled Security holders by reference to fair and reasonable allocations made by the trustee of the AMIT and continues to treat such trusts as “flow-through” trusts. The AMIT regime also includes provisions which can impose tax on the trustee of an AMIT, including in respect of certain non-arm’s length income or where the trustee fails to fully attribute the determined trusts components of the AMIT to stapled Security holders.
Other general risks
Inflation – Higher than expected inflation rates generally or specific to the property sector could be expected to increase operating costs and development costs.
Litigation and disputes – Disputes or litigation may arise from time to time in the course of business activities. There is a risk that material or costly disputes or litigation could adversely affect financial performance and security value.
Competition – Dexus faces competition from other property groups active in Australia. Such competition could lead to the following adverse outcomes:
-
loss of tenants to competitors;
-
a reduction in rents; and
-
an inability to secure new tenants resulting from oversupply of space.
Reliance on key personnel – Dexus is reliant on a number of key personnel. Loss of such personnel, or inability to attract suitably qualified personnel, may have a material adverse impact on Dexus’s performance.
Work safety – Poor work safety practices by Dexus or a failure to comply with the necessary work safety regulatory requirements across the jurisdictions in which Dexus operates could result in fines, penalties and compensation for damages as well as reputational damage and poor staff morale and industrial action.

Ke risks continued y ( )
Market risks – Investors should be aware that the market price of Dexus stapled securities and future distributions made to Security holders will be influenced by a number of factors that are common to most listed investments. At any point in time, these may include:
-
the Australian and international economic outlook;
-
movements in the general level of prices on international and local equity and credit markets;
-
changes in economic conditions including inflation, recessions and interest rates;
-
changes in market regulators’ policies and practice in relation to regulatory legislation;
-
changes in Government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies; and
-
the demand for Dexus stapled securities.
General economic and business conditions – Dexus’s operating and financial performance is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, including the level of inflation, interest rates, commodity prices, ability to access funding, supply and demand conditions and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Prolonged deterioration in these conditions, including an increase in interest rates, an increase in the cost of capital or a decrease in consumer demand, could have a material adverse impact on Dexus’s operating and financial performance.
Equity market conditions – The market price of Dexus stapled securities will be affected by the financial performance of Dexus and also varied and often unpredictable factors influencing equity and credit markets generally. These factors include international stock markets, interest rates, domestic and international economic conditions, domestic and international political stability, investor sentiment, and the demand for equities generally.
Other factors – Other factors may impact on an entity’s performance including changes or disruptions to political, regulatory, legal or economic conditions or to the national or international financial markets including as a result of terrorist attacks or war

International offer restrictions (continued)
The following is a summary of the statutory rights available to purchasers in Ontario.
In Ontario, every purchaser of the New Securities purchased pursuant to this document (other than (a) a "Canadian financial institution" or a "Schedule III bank" (each as defined in NI 45-106), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in (a) or (b) above, if the person owns all the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) shall have a statutory right of action for damages and/or rescission against the Group if this document or any amendment thereto contains a misrepresentation. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will have no right of action for damages against the Group. This right of action for rescission or damages is in addition to and without derogation from any other right the purchaser may have at law. In particular, Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that, if this document contains a misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the New Securities during the period of distribution shall be deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and has a right of action for damages or, alternatively, may elect to exercise a right of rescission against the Group, provided that:
-
a) the Group will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the New Securities with knowledge of the misrepresentation;
-
b) in an action for damages, the Group is not liable for all or any portion of the damages that the Group proves does not represent the depreciation in value of the New Securities as a result of the misrepresentation relied upon; and c) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the price at which the New Securities were offered.
Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than:
-
a) in the case of any action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action; or
-
b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the fact giving rise to the cause of action or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action.
Certain Canadian income tax considerations.
Prospective purchasers of the New Securities should consult their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the acquisition, holding, or disposition of the New Securities as any discussion of taxation related maters in this document is not a comprehensive description and there are a number of substantive Canadian tax compliance requirements for investors in the Provinces.
