EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The DEXUS Offer

  • DEXUS and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (― CPPIB ‖) (together the ― Consortiu m‖) intends to make an off-market takeover bid (― DEXUS Offer ‖) to acquire all of the issued units in Commonwealth Property Office Fund (― CPA ‖)

  • The DEXUS Offer comprises $0.7745 cash and 0.4516 DEXUS securities per CPA Unit, valuing the DEXUS Offer at $1.27 per CPA Unit (based on the DEXUS closing price on 10 December 2013[1] )

  • The compelling strategic rationale remains as outlined in the Consortium‘s initial proposal on 11 October 2013

  • The Consortium has decided to increase the price it is willing to pay for CPA Units above the bid made by the GPT Group (― GPT Offer ‖) following its due diligence enquiries which have allowed the Consortium to confirm its view on value of CPA and the future opportunities CPA presents under DEXUS‘s management

  • DEXUS has voting power in CPA of 14.9%[2] and does not currently intend to accept into the GPT Offer, preventing GPT from proceeding to compulsory acquisition

  • There is no minimum acceptance condition under the DEXUS Offer[3 ]

  • Note, DEXUS has estimated its distribution for the six months ending 31 December 2013 to be 3.07 cents per DEXUS Stapled Security. It is likely that the price of a DEXUS Stapled Security will trade at a lower price once they begin to trade on an ex-distribution basis to reflect the distribution to be paid. The impact of the estimated distribution on the implied value of the DEXUS Offer will be set out in the Bidder‘s Statement.

  • Under DEXUS‘s forward contract with Deutsche Bank AG, announced to the ASX on 25 July 2013.

  • Refer to Annexure A accompanying the ASX announcement released at the same time as this presentation for key conditions of the DEXUS Offer. DEXUS Property Group – Offer to acquire Commonwealth Property Office Fund (CPA) Slide 5

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Key highlights of the DEXUS Offer

  • Represents a compelling opportunity for CPA Unitholders at $1.27 per unit[1]

  • Reinforces DEXUS‘s strategic objective of office sector leadership and follows a disciplined commitment to the execution of that objective over the past 18 months

  • Investment in a world class asset management team with office expertise

  • DEXUS successfully exited its legacy US industrial business and reinvested $1.8 billion[2] into Australian office assets

  • DEXUS is undertaking the Offer alongside CPPIB - a strong, long-term partner, whose involvement provides a clear third-party endorsement of the DEXUS Offer and DEXUS‘s ability to drive value from the CPA portfolio

  • The DEXUS Offer is superior to the GPT Offer, representing greater value and less execution risk

  • Brings together two complementary office portfolios and provides CPA Unitholders with an ongoing investment in an A-REIT with a similar risk profile to an investment in CPA (pro-forma the DEXUS Offer office properties will comprises 83% of DEXUS‘s portfolio)

  • Due diligence has de-risked the acquisition for current and new DEXUS security holders

  • DEXUS intends to continue engaging with the Commonwealth Bank of Australia (― CBA ‖) to negotiate the terms of CPA Management facilitation

  • Including accrued CPA distribution for the six months to 31 December 2013.

  • Across the DEXUS platform.

THE DEXUS OFFER

DEXUS‘s intentions if the Consortium does not achieve a 100% interest in CPA

  • The Consortium is seeking to acquire a 100% interest in CPA and will undertake compulsory acquisition of CPA on achieving a 90% interest

  • The Consortium‘s current intentions if it does not achieve a 90% interest in CPA, include

  • Appointing a DEXUS owned entity to replace CMIL as the responsible entity of CPA

  • Undertaking a detailed strategic review of the CPA assets

  • Appointing DEXUS owned entities to undertake property and development management

  • Implementing conflict management protocols between DEXUS, CPA and other third party managed funds

  • Maintaining a majority independent board of directors for CPA

  • The Consortium members have entered into arrangements that provide the potential for liquidity in the future, in circumstances where 100% or less of CPA is acquired, which will be detailed in its Bidder's Statement. The Consortium is confident with an investment in CPA under all possible outcomes

  • DEXUS will outline in detail its strategies for CPA and the impact on DEXUS if less than 100% of CPA is acquired in its Bidder‘s Statement, expected to be released in December 2013

7. SUMMARY

DEXUS Property Group – Offer to acquire Commonwealth Property Office Fund (CPA) Slide 31

SUMMARY

  • The DEXUS Offer:

  • represents a compelling opportunity for CPA Unitholders at $1.27 per unit, with the opportunity to remain invested in Australia‘s leading office owner and manager

  • is superior to the GPT Offer, representing greater value and less execution risk

  • Reinforces DEXUS‘s objective of office sector leadership and follows a disciplined commitment to the execution of that objective over the past 18 months

  • DEXUS is undertaking the Offer alongside CPPIB - a strong, long-term partner, whose involvement provides a clear third-party endorsement of the DEXUS Offer and DEXUS‘s ability to drive value from the CPA portfolio

  • Brings together two complementary office portfolios and provides CPA Unitholders with an ongoing investment in an A-REIT with a similar risk profile to an investment in CPA

  • DEXUS has voting power in CPA of 14.9% and does not currently intend to accept into the GPT Offer, preventing GPT from proceeding to compulsory acquisition
