			Note, CPPIB only has votes of 1,978,604,356 Units because it is not an associate of CBA.

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
24t2t2014	DXFM and CPPIB	Change arising as a result of acceptances of DXFM's takeover bid (DEXUS Offe/).	\$0,7745 æsh and 0.45'16 DEXUS Stapled Securities 0r \$0.8496 cash and	200,446,804 Units	8.54%

¹ Note CBA's relevant interest has reduced since 16 December 2013, See Substantial Holder Notice lodged by CBA on 24 February 2014.

			0.380'l DEXUS Stapled Securities
21n12014	CBA	See Annexure B of the Substantial Holder Notice lodged by CBA on 24 Februarv 2014,	See Annexure B of the Substantial Holder Notice lodged by CBA on24 Februaw 2014.	(38,085)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 Offet that occurred on 24122014 as follows:

o 657,304 Units were acquired by DXFM under the terms of the DEXUS Offer for \$0.7745 cash and 0.451 6 DEXUS Stapled Securities per Unit; and o 4,615,396 Units were acquired by DXFM under the terms of the DEXUS Offer for \$0.8496 cash and 0.3801 DEXUS Stapled Secu¡ities per U nit,

Accordingly, DXFM is now the registered holder of an additional 5,272,700 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 ¡esult of acceptances underthe DEXUS Offer.

ln addition, DXFM believes that CBA (or its controlled entities) has now accepted 194,836,073 Units (being 8.30% of all Units) into the DEXUS Offer (which acceptances have been included in the above table). Accordingly, DXFM has a relevant interest in any of the Units which have been accepted. This has not changed DXFM's voting power because CBA was (and remains) its associate.

Particulars of each relevant interest of the substantial holder in voting securities after the change are as follows:

Holder of relevant interest	Registered holder of securities	Person entitled to be registered as holder (8)	Nature of relevant interest (6)	Class and number of securities	Person's votes
