Bidder’s ASX announcement lodged on 29 January 2014 is attached as Annexure A.
2 THE DEXUS OFFER IS RECOMMENDED BY CPA
CPA Unitholders should note that in the Target’s Statement dated 17 January 2014 (“ Target’s Statement ”), the independent directors of CMIL unanimously recommended that CPA Unitholders accept the DEXUS Offer (in the absence of a superior proposal).
The independent directors of CMIL also appointed, as independent expert, Grant Samuel & Associates Pty Limited (“ Independent Expert ”) to provide an independent expert’s report on the DEXUS Offer. In its report attached to the Target’s Statement, the Independent Expert concluded that the DEXUS Offer is fair and reasonable in the absence of a superior proposal.
3 RECEIPT OF OFFER CONSIDERATION
If you are a CPA Unitholder (other than an Ineligible Foreign Unitholder or Unmarketable Parcel Security holder[1] ):
-
who validly accepted the DEXUS Offer before 29 January 2014, the Offer Consideration will be despatched to you by 12 February 2014; or
-
who did not validly accept the DEXUS Offer before 29 January 2014, the Offer Consideration will be despatched to you within 5 Business Days after valid acceptance.
As described in the Bidder’s Statement, Bidder intends to proceed to compulsory acquisition if it acquires a 90% relevant interest in CPA Units during the Offer Period. If you do not accept the DEXUS Offer and Bidder becomes entitled to proceed to compulsory acquisition, you will not receive the Offer Consideration until at least one month after Bidder acquires its 90% interest.
4 THE DEXUS OFFER HAS BEEN EXTENDED
Bidder has extended the close of the DEXUS Offer to 7.00pm on Friday, 14 February 2014 (unless further extended or withdrawn). Attached to this Third Supplement is a formal Notice of Variation.
- Ineligible Foreign Unitholders and Unmarketable Parcel Security holders will receive the cash component of their Offer Consideration on the same basis as other holders.

JP Morgan will arrange for the sale of those DEXUS Securities within 10 Business Days of the end of the Offer Period. The net proceeds of that sale will be remitted to Ineligible Foreign Unitholders and Unmarketable Parcel Security holders.
