Technical Filing – Commonwealth Property Office Fund

The attached substantial holder notice reflects changes to the relevant interests of Deutsche Bank AG (“ DBA ”) in the Commonwealth Property Office Fund (“ CPA ”) which DEXUS Funds Management Limited (“ DXFM ”) became aware of on 28 August 2013.

As stated in our 20 August 2013 ASX announcement, the notice is a technical filing only as there is no change to DXFM’s interest in CPA which arises under the forward contract with DBA.

Regardless of its relevant interest position, under the forward contract, DXFM has an enforceable right to acquire from DBA, and after that acquisition DXFM will have the ability to vote, 350,000,000 CPA units (ie. a 14.9% interest in CPA) at a fixed price of $1.1334 per CPA unit.
