AND TO: In accordance with ASIC Class Order 13/521, to those persons shown on the CPA Unit register dated 8 January 2014 and to any other persons who have accepted the DEXUS Offer pursuant to the Bidder’s Statement dated 19 December 2013 (as amended) (“ Bidder’s Statement ”) by DEXUS Funds Management Limited in its capacity as trustee of DEXUS Office Trust Australia (“ Bidder ”) (a vehicle owned equally by DEXUS Property Group and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board)
Unless otherwise specified, terms used in this notice have the same meaning as in the Bidder’s Statement.
1. VARIATION
Under the DEXUS Offer, Bidder has offered CPA Unitholders the following existing cash/scrip mix (per CPA Unit) subject to the terms of that offer:
-
$0.7745 cash; and
-
0.4516 DEXUS Securities,
(“ Option A ”).
Further to its announcement on 6 January 2014, Bidder gives notice under section 650D of the Corporations Act that it varies the DEXUS Offer by adding an alternative form of consideration (per CPA Unit), being:
-
$0.8496 cash; and
-
0.3801 DEXUS Securities,
(“ Option B ”).
The right to elect to receive Option A or Option B will apply to all CPA Unitholders who accept the DEXUS Offer, including those CPA Unitholders who have already accepted the DEXUS Offer.
Pursuant to section 650D of the Corporations Act, the Offer Terms set out in Appendix 1 of the Bidder’s Statement are varied as follows in order to provide for Option B:
- (a) By deleting clauses 2.1 and 2.2 of the Offer Terms and substituting the following:
1
“2.1 Consideration offered
The consideration offered is:
-
a. $0.7745 in cash and 0.4516 DEXUS Securities for each CPA Unit (“Option A”); or
-
b. $0.8496 cash and 0.3801 DEXUS Securities for each CPA Unit (“Option B”),
(either being “Offer Consideration”).
However, in accordance with Sections 6.5 and 6.6, the amount of Offer Consideration you receive directly from the Bidder may be reduced by the amount or value of any Rights attaching to CPA Units which you (or any previous holder of your CPA Units) receive, including any distribution declared by CPA.
You may choose to receive Option A or Option B for your CPA Units. If you accepted the DEXUS Offer using an Acceptance Form that provided only for Option A but want to receive Option B instead, you will need to complete a new Acceptance Form electing Option B and return it within one month of receipt of the Notice of Variation dated 10 January 2014. You will also need to take any other actions required by section 651B of the Corporations Act to be entitled to Offer Consideration under Option B (if applicable).
You must specify your choice when completing the Acceptance Form or instructing your Controlling Participant. If you accept the DEXUS Offer but do not specify which of the considerations you wish to receive or Bidder is unable to clearly identify which consideration you have elected to receive, then unless Section 2.2 applies you will be treated as choosing Option A for all your CPA Units.
2.2 Ineligible Foreign Unitholders and Unmarketable Parcel Security holders
If at the time this DEXUS Offer is made to you, you are an Ineligible Foreign Unitholder or an Unmarketable Parcel Security holder, then, despite any other provision of this DEXUS Offer, you are not entitled to be offered or to receive DEXUS Securities as consideration under the DEXUS Offer. Instead, if you accept this DEXUS Offer, you will be taken to have elected to receive Option B unless you clearly elect otherwise and will receive a cash amount determined in accordance with Section 6.3 based on that”
(b) By deleting clause 5.6 of the Offer Terms and substituting the following:
- “5.6 When acceptance is complete
Acceptance of this DEXUS Offer will not be complete until a completed Acceptance Form has been received at one of the addresses set out in Section 5.3(f) and the requirements of Section 5 have otherwise been met, provided that:
-
a. Bidder may in its sole discretion and without notice to you waive any or all of those requirements at any time (including but not limited to requirements in relation to the manner or method of acceptance, or the deadline for receipt of acceptances specified under Section 5.3(a)(iii));
-
b. where the requirements in paragraph (a) have been complied with in respect of some but not all of your CPA Units, Bidder may, in its sole discretion, deem your acceptance of this DEXUS Offer complete in respect of those CPA Units for which the requirements have been complied with but not in respect of the remainder (unless Bidder waives those requirements in accordance with Section 5.6(a)); and
2
- c. where you have accepted the DEXUS Offer but not clearly identified your preferred form of Offer Consideration, then unless Section 2.2 applies you will receive Option A in exchange for your CPA Units.
Where Bidder elects to waive any requirement of this Section 5, your acceptance of this DEXUS Offer will be complete regardless of any failure by you to comply with the waived requirement.”
- (c) By inserting a new clause 8.3(i) into the Offer Terms:
“i. if you have not clearly identified your preferred form of Offer Consideration, irrevocably authorised the Bidder to alter your personalised Acceptance Form on your behalf to elect for you to receive Option A, or if Section 2.2 applies, to receive Option B in exchange for your CPA Units.”
-
(d) By inserting a new clause 12.6 into the Offer Terms:
-
“12.6 Acceptance Form
In this DEXUS Offer, a reference to the Acceptance Form is to the Original Acceptance Form or to the New Acceptance Form, but you must use the New Acceptance Form if you wish to choose Option B.”
2. RIGHT TO MAKE A FRESH ELECTION
In accordance with section 650B of the Corporations Act, Bidder gives notice that a person who has already accepted the DEXUS Offer when the variations in Section 1 of this notice are made has the right to make a fresh election as to the form of consideration to be taken.
Details about how to make a fresh election are included above.

1 Background to Second Supplement
On 6 January 2014, Bidder announced to ASX arrangements in relation to the sale of certain CPA assets to GPT Funds Management Limited (“ GPT FM ”) in its capacity as responsible entity of the GPT Wholesale Office Fund No. 1 (“ GWOF ”).
Bidder also announced that, as a consequence of entry into those arrangements, it had determined to vary the DEXUS Offer to give CPA Unitholders the ability to elect an alternative cash/scrip consideration mix option of:
-
$0.8496 cash; and
-
0.3801 DEXUS Securities,
per CPA Unit.
CPA Unitholders may elect to receive this alternative cash/scrip consideration mix option instead of the existing consideration of $0.7745 cash and 0.4516 DEXUS Securities per CPA Unit.
Bidder’s announcement of 6 January 2014 is attached. This Second Supplement sets out further information about both the proposed asset sales to GPT FM and the alternative cash/scrip consideration mix option.
Second Supplementary bidder’S Statement
2 addItIonal aSSetS SaleS contemplated
2.1 cpa asset Sales
In section 7.2 of the Bidder’s Statement, Bidder set out its intentions, in circumstances in which it acquired a relevant interest in 100% of CPA Units under the DEXUS Offer, to offer to GPT FM, as responsible entity of GWOF, the opportunity to acquire, on market terms, certain CPA assets, being CPA’s:
-
100% interest in 750 Collins Street, Melbourne; and
-
50% interest in 2 Southbank Boulevard, Melbourne (subject to compliance with applicable pre-emptive provisions).
Bidder, CPPIB and DEXUS entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“ MOU ”), which provides GPT FM, as responsible entity of GWOF, the opportunity to acquire the above CPA assets (“ CPA MOU ”).
In addition, the parties have agreed under the CPA MOU, that GPT FM will also have the opportunity to acquire a further two CPA assets, being CPA’s:
-
100% interest in 655 Collins Street, Melbourne; and
-
50% interest in 10 Shelley Street, Sydney (subject to compliance with applicable pre-emptive provisions).
Under the CPA MOU (described in Section 7), the parties agree to enter into formal option deeds attaching contracts for sale. The option deeds will contain a call option (in favour of GWOF) and a put option (in favour of Bidder) over each of the above four CPA assets. The aggregate sales price for all four properties is $679 million.
The four property sales under the CPA MOU are not interdependent. This means that one of the sales may complete even if the others do not.
Both the options and the sales contracts will be conditional. In particular, the option cannot be exercised unless Bidder acquires a 90% relevant interest in CPA.
A further description of the CPA MOU and its conditionality is set out in Section 7.
2.2 northland asset Sale
Bidder also notes that CPPIB has entered into an MOU with GPT FM, as responsible entity of the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund No. 1 (“ GWSCF ”) in relation to a potential sale of CPPIB’s 50% interest in the Northland Shopping Centre, Victoria (“ Northland ”) (“ Northland MOU ”).
Completion of the Northland sale is not interdependent with the CPA property sales contemplated by the CPA MOU.
A summary of relevant aspects of the Northland MOU is set out in Section 7.

SECOND SUPPLEMENTAry BIDDEr’S STATEMENT 3
SECTION HEADER5 Impact oF gWoF SaleS and addItIonal caSh/ScrIp alternatIve on comBIned group
5.1 Background
Section 8 of the Bidder’s Statement contained a description of the expected impact of the DEXUS Offer on the Combined Group.
The impacts described in section 8 of the Bidder’s Statement will be affected by CPA Unitholders electing Option B and, in the event that Bidder acquires a relevant interest in 100% of CPA Units, the transactions contemplated by the CPA MOU (assuming they are implemented).
These impacts are described below.
5.2 Impact on description of deXuS post-completion of the deXuS offer
DEXUS rE considers that significant operational and strategic benefits will arise for DEXUS Security holders from the acquisition of CPA by Bidder. DEXUS scrip forms part of the consideration under both Option A and Option B which means CPA Unitholders who accept the DEXUS Offer will have the opportunity to participate in these benefits. A number of those benefits are described in section 8.3 of the Bidder’s Statement.
The benefits described in section 8.3 of the Bidder’s Statement assumed that Bidder acquired 100% of CPA Units. The benefits will be impacted in the event that Bidder acquires 100% of CPA and sells the assets contemplated by the CPA MOU to GWOF.
Detailed below are key metrics (on a pro-forma basis, and based on the position as at 30 June 2013) in the event Bidder acquires 100% of CPA Units outstanding and sells all of the assets contemplated by the CPA MOU to GWOF.
-
a. DEXUS will be the leading owner and manager of Australian office with $10.9 billion of assets under management (“ AUM ”) – an increase from $7.8 billion as at 30 June 2013;
-
b. DEXUS’s on-balance sheet real estate investment portfolio will increase to $8.8 billion from $7.3 billion and total real estate AUM will increase to $16.5 billion from $13.4 billion;
-
c. Office assets will comprise 82% of DEXUS on-balance sheet portfolio post transaction in line with DEXUS’s strategic target weightings;
-
d. The combination of the two office portfolios is highly complementary and retains core exposure to key office markets of Sydney and Melbourne:[1]

Directors’ Pro forma adjustments for 100% Ownership Case
Pro forma adjustments (1), (2) and (3) as outlined in section 8.4(c) of the Bidder’s Statement are unchanged if all CPA Unitholders elect Option B.
Adjustments, as outlined in note (4) in section 8.4(c) of the Bidder’s Statement are different in the following respects:
-
Investments accounted for using the equity method increase by $1,377.3 million to reflect DEXUS’s 50% interest in the Bid Trust, compared to $1,716.7 million in the Bidder’s Statement. The lower increase in investments accounted for using the equity method reflects DEXUS’s share of the sale of property interests for $679.0 million under the GWOF Divestment.
-
DEXUS’s interest bearing liabilities increase by $689.5 million to fund the transaction, compared to $879.0 million in the Bidder’s Statement. The lower interest bearing liabilities arise as a result of DEXUS’s 50% share of the proceeds received from the GWOF Divestment, offset by a $150.0 million increase in the cash consideration component (if all CPA Unitholders elect Option B).
-
Contributed equity increases by $797.0 million reflecting the issue of 759.1 million DEXUS Securities to CPA Unitholders (if all CPA Unitholders elect Option B).
50.1% Ownership Case and 30% Ownership Case
Under the 50.1% Ownership Case and 30% Ownership Case the GWOF Divestment will not proceed.
50.1% Ownership Case
Pro forma interest bearing liabilities increase by $450.6 million if all CPA Unitholders elect Option B compared to $388.5 million if all CPA Unitholders elect Option A. Contributed equity increases by $329.6 million compared to $391.6 million, reflecting the increased cash requirements and decreased scrip consideration if all CPA Unitholders elect Option B. As a result, pro forma gearing increases to 34.2% if all CPA Unitholders elect Option B compared to 33.4% if all CPA Unitholders elect Option A.
30% Ownership Case
Pro forma interest bearing liabilities increase by $519.1 million if all CPA Unitholders elect Option B compared to $492.4 million if all CPA Unitholders elect Option B. Contributed equity increases by $141.3 million compared to $167.9 million, reflecting the increased cash requirements and decreased scrip consideration if all CPA Unitholders election Option B. As a result, pro forma gearing increases to 34.9% if all CPA Unitholders elect Option B compared to 34.6% if all CPA Unitholders election Option A.
d. Pro Forma FFO per Security and Distribution per Security
Pro forma FFO per Security impact assuming 1 July 2013 implementation
The tables below show the indicative impact on pro forma FFO per Security and Distribution per Security for different levels of ownership if all CPA Unitholders elect Option B of a potential level of property FFO attributable to the assets being sold under the GWOF Divestment.
The GWOF Divestment sensitivity shows the FFO per Security where property FFO attributable to the assets being sold under the GWOF Divestment is $46.2 million. The implied property FFO of $46.2 million has been derived by multiplying the weighted average capitalisation rate and value as provided in the most current CPA valuations[2] . The sensitivity assumes that the divestment proceeds are applied to repaying interest bearing liabilities.
The GWOF Divestment sensitivity is shown for illustrative purposes only as there is insufficient publicly available information to determine the actual FFO attributable to the assets being sold.

DeXUS and CPA standalone assumptions
- refer to section 8.4(d) of the Bidder’s Statement.
Pro forma assumptions for 100% ffO Ownership Case
The assumptions are the same as the 100% Ownership Case under the original proposal, as outlined in section 8.4(d) of the Bidder’s Statement, assuming 1 July 2013 implementation, with the exception of the following:
-
The weighted average number of DEXUS Securities on issue used to calculate FFO per Security reduces from 5,543.2 million to 5,400.4 million due to the lower scrip component under Option B.
-
Incremental profit for the year ending 30 June 2014 from funds management, property management, leasing and development management fees reduces by $1.6 million to $4.4 million as a result of the GWOF Divestment.
-
Interest expense decreases due to a lower amount of interest bearing liabilities arising from DEXUS’s 50% share of the proceeds received from the GWOF Divestment. The reduction in interest bearing liabilities is partially offset by a $150.0 million increase in the cash consideration component of the DEXUS Offer (if all investors elect Option B).
Pro forma assumptions for 50.1% ffO Ownership Case and 30% ffO Ownership Case
The assumptions are the same as the 50.1% FFO Ownership Case and 30% FFO Ownership Case under the original proposal, as outlined in section 8.4(d) of the Bidder’s Statement, assuming 1 July 2013 implementation except for the following:
-
Interest expense increases due to a higher amount of interest bearing liabilities utilised to fund the increased cash component of the DEXUS Offer if all CPA Unitholders elect Option B;
-
The weighted average number of DEXUS Securities on issue used to calculate FFO per Security reduces from 5,014.3 million to 4,955.3 million for the 50.1% FFO Ownership Case and from 4,801.3 million to 4,776.0 million for the 30% FFO Ownership Case if all CPA Unitholders elect Option B.
Pro forma ffO per Security impact assuming 1 March 2014 implementation
DEXUS’s FFO per Security for the 12 months ending 30 June 2014 as if the acquisition of CPA Units had taken place on 1 March 2014 has been determined on the assumption that all CPA Unitholders elect Option B.
The table below provides a summary of the Combined Group FFO, distribution and accretion assuming all CPA Unitholders elect Option B:
| Combined Group1 (100% Ownership Case) |
|
|---|---|
| Pro forma GWOF Divestment Sensitivity (cps) (%) (cps) (%) |
|
| FFO | 8.39 1.2% 8.35 0.7% |
| Distribution | 6.30 1.0% 6.28 0.6% |
- Accretion metrics are relative to DEXUS‘s Fy14 guidance of 8.29 cents per Security. Transaction impact is not annualised.
The pro forma FFO per Security, Distribution per Security and accretion include the impact of CPA Unitholders electing Option B and lower funds management, property management, leasing and development management fees as a result of the GWOF Divestment. The GWOF Divestment sensitivity also includes an illustrative impact of the GWOF Divestment as detailed above. The assumptions used to derive the impact in this scenario are consistent with the assumptions in the 100% Ownership Case noted above except for the implementation date of 1 March 2014.

SECOND SUPPLEMENTAry BIDDEr’S STATEMENT 9
SECTION HEADER6 FundIng
Section 9 of the Bidder’s Statement describes the Bidder’s sources of funding. Importantly, the Joint Bid Agreement described in section 12.2 of the Bidder’s Statement (amended in the manner described in Section 7 of this Second Supplement) obliges DEXUS and CPPIB to contribute (or procure the contribution of) sufficient cash and, in the case of DEXUS, DEXUS Securities for the purposes of Bidder meeting its obligations under the DEXUS Offer.
As a result of the Notice of Variation, the maximum amount of additional cash that DEXUS would be obliged to contribute to the Bidder to fund the DEXUS Offer consideration is $150 million. This assumes that all CPA Unitholders accept the DEXUS Offer and elect Option B.
Since the release of the Bidder’s Statement, Loan Facility Agreements (described in section 9.6 of the Bidder’s Statement) totalling $450 million have been executed. DEXUS has sufficient cash under those Loan Facility Agreements and remaining Commitment Letters (described in section 9.6 of the Bidder’s Statement) to meet its obligation to contribute cash required to pay accepting CPA Unitholders.
Furthermore, it has sufficient cash under other existing available facilities, when added to the cash available under the Loan Facility Agreements and remaining Commitment Letters, to meet its share of the costs described in section 9.5 of the Bidder’s Statement.
There is no change to the maximum amount of DEXUS Securities that would need to be contributed by DEXUS. Furthermore, there is no change to CPPIB’s maximum cash contribution.
On the basis of the above, Bidder continues to be of the opinion that it has a reasonable basis for holding the view, and holds the view, that Bidder will be able to provide the consideration offered under the DEXUS Offer (as well as other funding commitments described in section 9.5 of the Bidder’s Statement).

12 Second Supplementary bidder’S Statement
7 materIal arrangementS
7.4 northland mou
CPPIB has entered into a binding memorandum of understanding with GPT FM, as responsible entity of the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund No. 1 (“ GWSCF ”) under which CPPIB will enter into a contract to sell 50% of its interest in the property known as Northland Shopping Centre; 2-50 Murray road, Preston, Victoria and 59-65 Wood Street, Preston, Victoria (“ Northland ”).
Key terms of the Northland MOU are as follows:
a. Execution of contract for sale by 15 March 2014
CPPIB and GPT FM (the “ parties ”) must use their respective best endeavours and act in good faith to procure the successful negotiation and execution of a contract for sale of CPPIB’s 50% interest in Northland by 15 March 2014. The purchase price is $505 million subject to adjustment (see below).
b. Due Diligence
GPT FM and its advisors shall be entitled to carry out due diligence, on an exclusive basis, with respect to Northland from the date of the Northland MOU to 15 March 2014 (unless extended in accordance with the Northland MOU). Within 1 month of the date of the Northland MOU, CPPIB must make available due diligence material disclosing all relevant information available to CPPIB that a prudent purchaser would require. CPPIB must promptly respond to all reasonable requests for information.
c. Material Due Diligence Findings and Adjustments
If GPT FM’s due diligence reveals any item which:
- i. was not known and could not be reasonably identified by GPT FM on or before the date of the Northland MOU; and
ii. has a material and adverse effect on the pricing assumption that Northland generates $60 million of net income per annum,
then GPT FM may, at any time before the date of the contract for sale, provide CPPIB full details of the item, its impact on the value of Northland, and make a request to adjust the price to reflect the adverse impact. CPPIB agrees to consider any pricing adjustments in good faith (provided that the pricing adjustment is not more than $5 million).
Note, nothing in the Northland MOU compels CPPIB to agree to sell its interest in Northland to GPT FM at a price below $500 million.
d. Target completion date
Completion for the sale of Northland will occur on the later of:
- i. 31 March 2014; or
ii. 10 business days after any applicable pre-emptive rights arising under an Asset Document have been waived or not exercised; or
iii. 10 business days after FIrB Approval has been obtained; or
iv. 10 business days after the satisfaction of any conditions precedent. The conditions precedent are similar to those for the contract for sale of the CPA assets in the CPA MOU however there is an additional condition precedent that Bidder must become entitled to proceed to compulsory acquisition under the DEXUS Offer.
Either party may terminate the sale contract if the conditions precedent to the sale are not satisfied or waived by 30 September 2014.
SECOND SUPPLEMENTAry BIDDEr’S STATEMENT 13
SECTION HEADER8 other Important InFormatIon
8.1 Introduction
This Section sets out additional important information for CPA Unitholders in connection with the subject matter of this Second Supplement.
8.2 additional tax disclosures
8.2.1 Impact of sales to GWOf
If one or more of the sales contemplated by the CPA MOU occur prior to 30 June 2014, there will be capital gains arising for CPA.
For Australian resident unitholders, the taxation profile of distributions in respect of CPA Units is calculated by reference to the taxation position of CPA for the full income year. As such, notwithstanding the sales to GWOF may occur after the distribution for the period ending 31 December 2013, they may impact the taxation profile of that distribution.
Non-resident unitholders will be liable to tax on a withholding basis calculated at the time of payment. The amount from which withholding tax is required to be deducted will be determined based on the expected taxable income of CPA for the year ending 30 June 2014 having regard to the known circumstances that exist at the time of payment.
CPA unitholders should seek independent professional advice on the consequences of their participation in the DEXUS Offer, based on their particular circumstances. Unitholders who are not resident in Australia must obtain advice on the taxation implications arising in their local jurisdiction of the proposed transaction.
8.2.2 Undertaking
Bidder has been asked by CMIL, and Bidder has agreed, to give the following undertakings in connection with the taxation of CPA Unitholders:
-
a. if prior to 30 June 2014 CMIL is replaced by an appropriately licensed DEXUS Group entity as the responsible entity of CPA, Bidder will cause that entity, as trustee of CPA, to make a determination in accordance with clause 9.3 of the CPA Constitution as at 7 November 2011, to distribute the “Distributable Amount” for the “Distribution Period” ending 30 June 2014 to CPA unitholders registered as such on 30 June 2014, and
-
b. if Bidder proceeds to compulsorily acquire the remaining CPA units under the Corporations Act (having acquired a relevant interest in 90% of more of CPA Units) and prior to 30 June 2014 it sells the assets contemplated by the CPA MOU, it will procure the trustee of CPA to make a determination in accordance with clause 9.3 of the CPA Constitution as at 7 November 2011 that the “Distributable Amount” for the “Distribution Period” ending 30 June 2014 (to which Bidder, as sole unitholder of CPA will be presently entitled) will include an amount equal to any net capital gains that arise in that “Distribution Period”.
The terms “Distributable Amount” and “Distribution Period” have the meaning they are given in the CPA Constitution.
CPA Unitholders should refer to the Target’s Statement that will be released by CMIL in connection with the DEXUS Offer for further information about the impact of this undertaking.
8.2.3 CPA Unitholders who have already accepted and change their election
If you have already accepted the DEXUS Offer before you received this Second Supplement, you may exercise your right to elect Option B instead (refer to Section 4). If you do so, for capital gains tax purposes, the date of disposal of your CPA Units and acquisition of DEXUS Securities will continue to be the date of your original acceptance. As such, the determination of your capital proceeds from the disposal of the CPA Units and the cost base of your new DEXUS Securities, should continue to be based on the market value of the DEXUS Securities at that time, rather than at the time of your election to vary the form of your consideration.
8.3 Sales to gWoF may not occur
There is a risk that not all of the property sales contemplated under the CPA MOU will occur for the following reasons:
-
despite the parties’ obligations under the CPA MOU, there is a risk that the parties will not agree final, binding documentation;
-
it is possible that both the Bidder and GPT FM may determine not to, or be unable to, complete a sale or exercise the put or call options over some or all of the properties; and
-
in relation to 2 Southbank Boulevard, Melbourne, there is a risk, under the applicable co-ownership arrangements, that the property may be sold on-market on a change of responsible entity of CPA for a price that may be higher or lower than the price contemplated by the CPA MOU.

You will also need to take any other actions required by section 651B of the Corporations Act to be entitled to Offer Consideration under Option B (if applicable).
You must specify your choice when completing the Acceptance Form or instructing your Controlling Participant. If you accept the DEXUS Offer but do not specify which of the considerations you wish to receive or Bidder is unable to clearly identify which consideration you have elected to receive, then unless Section 2.2 applies you will be treated as choosing Option A for all your CPA Units.
- 2.2 Ineligible Foreign Unitholders and Unmarketable Parcel Security holders
If at the time this DEXUS Offer is made to you, you are an Ineligible Foreign Unitholder or an Unmarketable Parcel Security holder, then, despite any other provision of this DEXUS Offer, you are not entitled to be offered or to receive DEXUS Securities as consideration under the DEXUS Offer. Instead, if you accept this DEXUS Offer, you will be taken to have elected to receive Option B unless you clearly elect otherwise and will receive a cash amount determined in accordance with Section 6.3 based on that”

-
b. where the requirements in paragraph (a) have been complied with in respect of some but not all of your CPA Units, Bidder may, in its sole discretion, deem your acceptance of this DEXUS Offer complete in respect of those CPA Units for which the requirements have been complied with but not in respect of the remainder (unless Bidder waives those requirements in accordance with Section 5.6(a)); and

SECOND SUPPLEMENTAry BIDDEr’S STATEMENT 19
SECTION HEADERanneXure B BIdder’S aSX announcement lodged on 6 January 2014
DEXUS Property Group (ASX: DXS)
ASX release
6 January 2014
Further developments relating to DEXUS Offer for CPA
DEXUS Funds Management Limited, in its capacity as Trustee of the DEXUS Office Trust Australia ( "DEXUS" ) refers to the Bidder‟s Statement lodged by DEXUS Property Group ( "DXS" ) and Canada Pension Plan Investment Board ( "CPPIB" ) (together the "Consortium" ) on 19 December 2013 in relation to an off-market takeover bid for all of the Units in the Commonwealth Property Office Fund ( "CPA" ) ( "DEXUS Offer" ).
DEXUS Offer open for acceptance and provides greater choice
As advised earlier today, the DEXUS Offer is now open for acceptance.
There is no minimum acceptance condition and the DEXUS Offer is scheduled to close on 7 February 2014, unless extended. As a result of developments set out below, the Consortium is now able to offer CPA Unitholders an additional choice of cash/scrip consideration mix.
CMIL independent directors unanimously reject GPT Offer
The Consortium also notes the release of CPA‟s target statement in relation to the GPT Offer on 24 December 2013 in which the independent directors of Commonwealth Managed Investments Limited ( “CMIL” ) unanimously recommend that CPA Unitholders DO NOT ACCEPT the GPT Offer because, amongst other things, the DEXUS Offer is superior to the GPT Offer.
Proposed asset sales to GPT Wholesale Office Fund (“GWOF”)
In section 7.2 of the Bidder‟s Statement, the Consortium detailed its intention, in circumstances where it acquired a relevant interest of 90% or more of CPA Units, to offer to the responsible entity of GWOF the opportunity to acquire, on market terms, certain CPA assets, being CPA‟s: 100% interest in 750 Collins Street, Melbourne; and 50% interest in 2 Southbank Boulevard, Melbourne (subject to compliance with applicable pre-emptive provisions).
The Consortium has today entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (“ MOU ”) with GPT Funds Management Limited ( “GPT FM” ) in its capacity as responsible entity of GWOF, in relation to the sale of the CPA assets referenced in section 7.2 of the Bidder‟s Statement.
In addition, the parties have agreed that GPT FM will also have the opportunity to acquire a further two CPA assets, being CPA‟s:
-
100% interest in 655 Collins Street, Melbourne; and
-
50% interest in 10 Shelley Street, Sydney (subject to compliance with applicable pre-emptive provisions).
The aggregate value ascribed to these CPA assets is $679 million with GWOF having the ability to acquire all or any of the assets. The CPA assets are offered for sale on an „as is, where is‟ basis.
The MOU does not in any way limit or restrict the actions that either the Consortium or The GPT Group might take in respect of their respective takeover bids for CPA.
The MOU sets out a process under which the parties will negotiate and enter into formal option deeds attaching contracts of sale. The option deeds will contain a call option (in favour of GWOF) and a put option (in favour of the Consortium) over each of the CPA assets mentioned above.
The call option will not be exercisable unless the Consortium acquires 90% of CPA Units under the terms of the DEXUS Offer and becomes entitled to proceed to compulsory acquisition. Once that occurs, GPT FM may only exercise the option by the period ending on the latter of:
-
the final day of the DEXUS Offer; and
-
5 business days after the Consortium notifies GPT FM that it is entitled to proceed to compulsory acquisition.
20
Second Supplementary bidder’S Statement
anneXure B BIdder’S aSX announcement lodged on 6 January 2014
DEXUS Property Group (ASX: DXS) ASX release
If GPT FM does not exercise the call option, the put option may be exercised for a period of 5 business days after the period for exercising the call option expires.
The option deed in respect of a property will be terminable by either party if an option is not exercised by 30 September 2014. It will also automatically terminate, and a key condition will not be satisfied, if GPT FM has not obtained a statement of no objections in relation to the acquisition of the relevant property under the Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cwlth) by 30 June 2014 (“ FIRB Approval ”).
The sales contracts, which will come into effect automatically if the put or call options are validly exercised, will be subject to usual conditions for similar contracts (including a 5% deposit payable on exercise of the option) and the following additional conditions:
-
consent of the relevant counterparty or compliance with relevant pre-emptive provisions under applicable asset-level documents that apply to the property or an owner of the property (such as those arising under the co-owner arrangements at 10 Shelley Street and 2 Southbank Boulevard);
-
satisfaction of all conditions precedent under any applicable asset-level document; and
-
the Consortium procuring all consents, waivers and documentation that are required under any applicable law or regulation or document to complete the sale of a property without breaching any applicable law, regulation, document or duty (including as a fiduciary).
-
Completion will occur 10 business days after the latter of exercise of the option or satisfaction of conditions precedent.
Neither the exercise of the options nor completion of the sale of any one property is dependent on exercise or completion in respect of the other properties.
A copy of the MOU is attached to this release.
MOU in relation to Northland
The Consortium also notes that CPPIB has entered into a MOU with GPT FM, as responsible entity of the GPT Wholesale Shopping Centre Fund No. 1 (“ GWSCF ”).
Under that MOU, CPPIB has agreed to a sales process for its 50% interest in the Northland Shopping Centre, Victoria (“ Northland ”) and the conditions and timing of the sale are similar to the conditions and timing of the CPA asset sales described above.
The MOU for the CPA assets and the MOU for Northland are not interdependent.
DEXUS Offer consideration composition – change to cash and scrip mix
As a consequence of the intended additional asset sales, the Consortium has determined to vary the DEXUS Offer to give CPA Unitholders the opportunity to elect to receive an alternative cash/scrip mix comprised of a larger proportion of cash (per CPA Unit) as set out below:
-
$0.8496 cash; and
-
0.3801 DEXUS Securities.
A formal variation notice will be sent to CPA Unitholders shortly.
Under the DEXUS Offer, CPA Unitholders will still be able to choose the existing cash/scrip mix (of $0.7745 and 0.4516 DEXUS Securities per CPA Unit).
