3. Changes in relevant interests

Particulars of each change in, or change in the nature of, a relevant interest of the substantial holder or an associate in voting securities of the company or scheme, since the substantial holder was last required to give a substantial holding notice to the company or scheme are as follows:

Date of change	Person whose relevant interest changed	Nature of change (6)	Consideration given in relation to change (7)	Class and number of securities affected	Person's votes affected
3/3/2014	DXFM and CPPIB	Change arising as a result of acceptances of DXFM's takeover bid ("DEXUS Offer").	\$0.7745 cash and 0.4516 DEXUS Stapled Securities .or \$0,8496 cash and	27,435,953 Units	1.17%

¹ Note CBA's relevant interest has reduced since 16 December 2013. See Substantial Holder Notice lodged by CBA on 3 March 2014.

			0.3801 DEXUS Stapled Securities
27/2/2014	CBA	See Annexure B of the Substantial Holder Notice lodged by CBA on 3 March 2014.	See Annexure B of the Substantial Holder Notice lodged by CBA on 3 March 2014.	(45.845) Units	$(0.002)$ %

Note: On account of the settlement process, and in addition to the above changes, there have also been changes in the nature of DXFM and CPPIB's relevant interest as a result of settlements of acceptances under the DEXUS Offer that occurred on 3/3/2014 as follows:

49,883,966 Units were acquired by DXFM under the terms of the DEXUS Offer for \$0.7745 cash and 0.4516 DEXUS Stapled Securities per Unit; and 6,361,629 Units were acquired by DXFM under the terms of the DEXUS Offer for \$0.8496 cash and 0.3801 DEXUS Stapled Securities per Unit.

Accordingly, DXFM is now the registered holder of an additional 56,245,595 Units as a result of the DEXUS Offer. However, this change did not alter DXFM or CPPIB's total relevant interest and voting power in CPA because prior to settlement, DXFM had already acquired a relevant interest in those Units as a result of acceptances under the DEXUS Offer.
