apportionment percentages of DRT stapled securities since stapling

For capital gains tax purposes investors need to apportion the cost of each stapled security and the proceeds on sale of each stapied security. over the four Trusts that make up the stapled security. This apportionment should be done on a reasonable basis. One basis of apportionment is to use the relative net tangible assets (NTA) of each of the Trusts.

Using NTA as a basis, the table below outlines. the apportionment percentages that will apply to any on or off market buying or selling of DRT stapled securities, or the issue of new DRT stapled securities between the dates specified.

Please note that the correct allocation percentage to be used depends on the relevant date of the specific transaction. Consequently, the allocationpercentage relevant for the acquisition of a parcel of DRT stapled securities, (either on or off market, or through the issue of securities), may differ from their disposal percentage.

DRFM will periodically release revisions to this table and it will be published on its website. A copy of the schedule can be downloaded. by visiting our website at www.dbrreef.comor by contacting 1800 819 675.
