ASX Announcement

24 December 2007
AIX announces extension of multi-option facility
AIX has successfully completed an extension of its multi-option facility (“MOF”) for a one year term. The revised terms of the facility, provided jointly by ANZ and Westpac, include an increase in its size to $250 million and a reduction in fees and margins. The revised multi-option facility also includes increased flexibility for AIX to incur certain additional financial indebtedness without requiring the approval of the MOF providers.
Chief Operating Officer, Peter McGregor, said, “The revised facility gives AIX continuing flexibility in relation to its longer term financing options. The fact that we have achieved these improved terms during a period of volatility in credit markets is a testament to the quality of assets in the AIX portfolio, and to our track record of prudent capital management. Furthermore, AIX remains in a position where it has a high degree of interest rate hedging applied to borrowings within the assets, as well as limited refinancing requirements over the coming twelve months. Consequently, AIX remains confident about the outlook for portfolio returns over the medium term."
