| Acquisition rationale |
Greater diversification of the portfolio with a continued reweighting to office from industrial Attractive day one Passing Yields, with opportunities through asset management initiatives to improve asset level income A strategic initiative to continue to increase exposure to the Brisbane office market, which is benefiting from the mining and resources boom All modern properties, either built since 2006 or under construction, with low levels of maintenance allowing GOZ to continue its policy of a high Payout Ratio An equity raising structure that, through allocation of any shortfall, provides new investors with the opportunity of entering the stock at a discount to NTA, with the potential for future Index inclusion and improved liquidity |

| Transaction funding |
The Acquisitions, which are expected to complete on 31 January 2012, will be funded by: a 3 for 10 renounceable entitlement offer to raise $166.4 million announced today, with a record date of 30 December 2011 and due to complete on 27 January 2012 (Rights Offer). Growthpoint SA has committed to taking up its Rights ($101.5 million of Stapled Securities issued under the Rights Offer) and underwrite the balance of the Rights Offer (i.e. approximately $64.9 million of Stapled Securities issued under the Rights Offer) a $105.0 million increase to the existing Syndicated Debt Facility, concurrently with an extension and tranching of its maturity profile, which has been credit approved with detailed documentation anticipated to be signed in January 2012 a new Bilateral Facility of $70.0 million, which has been credit approved with detailed documentation anticipated to be signed in January 2012 |

NORTH SHORE, NSW MARKET OVERVIEW
North Shore/St Leonards/Crows Nest
-
St Leonards/Crows Nest is within the North Shore market and is Sydney’s fourth largest fringe office market comprised of 366,461sqm of office space
-
Vacancy rates have continued to tighten in North Shore office markets, particularly at the prime market where tenant demand is comparatively firmer and a lack of new supply over the next two years is likely to see a continuation of declining vacancy rates
-
As at September 2011, the vacancy rate had fallen to 12.5%. Forecasts indicate that during 2011 to 2015, total North Shore vacancy will average 8.6% with tenant net demand to average 14,555m[2] p.a. and 7,289m[2] p.a. for North Sydney and St Leonards/Crows Nest respectively (Source: CBRE)
-
Net face rents are also forecast to increase from 2011 to 2015 by an average of 3.5% p.a. and 3.4% p.a. for North Sydney and St Leonards/Crows Nest respectively (Source: CBRE)

KEY RISKS
Market Perception Risk
- The extent to which the Rights Offer enhances value for Securityholders depends on the Rights Offer being viewed as a positive initiative by the market. There is a risk that this will not be the case. For example, the market may not value the (enlarged) Group as highly as anticipated, because of concerns relating to factors such as the potential for other acquisitions which reduce headroom in debt facility covenants and the continued level of control held by Growthpoint SA. This may adversely impact on the market price of the Stapled Securities. The market value of the Stapled Securities may also differ from the underlying NTA.
Acquisitions
-
A key element of the Group’s future strategy will involve the acquisition of properties to add to its property portfolio. Whilst it is the Group’s policy to conduct a thorough due diligence process in relation to any such acquisition, risks remain that are inherent in such acquisitions.
-
Growthpoint Properties Australia may acquire assets to add to its portfolio. There are inherent risks in such acquisitions. These risks could include unexpected problems or other latent liabilities such as the existence of asbestos or other hazardous materials or environmental liabilities. There are also risks associated with integration of businesses, including financial and operational issues as well as employee related issues. There is also a risk the expected benefits, synergies and other advantages in relation to the acquired asset will not be realised. Growthpoint Properties Australia’s value, earnings and distributable income may be adversely affected by the occurrence of any of these risks.
Trust Taxation Status
-
Currently, the Growthpoint Properties Australia Trust will not incur tax on income provided that income is distributed. However, the Trust would lose this tax transparency if there is a legislative change which removed the tax transparency of property trusts or Growthpoint Properties Australia Trust engages in business activities which lead to it being subject to tax at the corporate tax rate. It is the intention of the Directors that the Growthpoint Properties Australia Trust will be managed so that the trust is not taxed at the corporate rate under the existing law.
-
Depending on investors’ individual circumstances, a loss of the Growthpoint Properties Australia Trust’s tax transparency may adversely affect post tax investment returns. In addition, the taxation treatment of Securityholders is dependent upon the tax law as currently enacted in Australia and other relevant jurisdictions. Changes in tax law or changes in the way tax law is expected to be interpreted in Australia or such other jurisdictions may adversely impact the tax outcomes for Securityholders.
-
Changes to the unit holder composition could impact Growthpoint Properties Australia Trust and its subsidiary entities’ ability to utilise prior and current year tax losses. While GOZ does not anticipate this offer will trigger a change of control for tax purposes, any movements in the register will be factored into future change of control monitoring.
Property Valuation Risk
- The value of properties held by the Group may fluctuate from time to time due to market and other conditions. Factors relevant to determining value include rental, occupancy levels and property yield, and these may change significantly over time for a variety of reasons. External and Directors’ valuations represent only the analysis and opinion of such persons at a certain date and they are not guarantees of present or future values. The values of properties may impact on the value of an investment in the Group.
Buildings Condition and Defects
- The Group’s properties are professionally managed by experienced property managers. Nevertheless, there is a risk that latent defects in the properties may prevent the properties being available for their intended use and/or may require additional capital expenditure. This may adversely affect returns available to Securityholders.
Property Illiquidity Risks
- Property assets are by their nature illiquid investments. Therefore, it may not be possible for the Group to dispose of assets in a timely manner should it need to do so. In addition, to the extent that there may be only a limited number of potential buyers for the properties, the realisable value of those assets may be less than book value of those assets.
Tenant Risk
-
There is a risk that tenants may default on their rental or other obligations under leases with the Group, leading to a reduction in future income which may impact on the value of properties owned by the Group. Furthermore, there is a risk that the Group will be unable to negotiate suitable lease extensions from existing tenants or replace current leases with new tenants on similarly commercial terms which may impact the value of properties owned by the Group.
-
The Group relies on certain key tenants for the majority of its revenue. Any financial difficulty or insolvency affecting a key tenant, or a breach of lease by a key tenant, could have a material adverse effect on the Group’s financial performance or position.

Property Acquisitions and Capital Raising – December 2011
==> picture [720 x 24] intentionally omitted <==
KEY RISKS
Capital Expenditure
- There is a risk that unforeseen capital expenditure may be required under the terms of the current property leases. This may in turn impact the cash available to service debt and the value of the Group.
Environmental
- The Group’s properties may, from time to time, be exposed to a range of environmental risks, including asbestos, which may require remedial work and potentially expose the Group to third party liability. This could potentially impact earnings, distributions and property values.
Competition
- The value of property held by the Group may be negatively affected by oversupply or overdevelopment in surrounding areas. Alternatively, prices for properties the Group is considering for acquisition may be inflated via competing bids by other prospective purchasers.
Funding and Refinancing Risk
- Market volatility has had a significant impact on the real estate sector and its ability to access capital from investors. The real estate investment industry tends to be highly capital intensive. The ability of the Group to raise funds on favourable terms for future refinancing (currently anticipated to be 31 December 2014) and acquisitions depends on a number of factors including general economic, political, and capital and credit market conditions. The inability of the Group to raise funds on favourable terms for future acquisitions and refinancing could adversely affect its ability to acquire new properties or refinance its debt.
Stapled Security Market Prices
- The market price of the Stapled Securities will depend on a variety of factors. The price at which these Stapled Securities trade on the ASX could deviate materially from their issue price. Factors including general movements in interest rates, domestic and international capital markets, macro-economic conditions, global geo-political events and hostilities, investor perceptions and other factors could all impact the market price performance.
Interest Rates
- To the extent that interest rate exposure has not been hedged, fluctuations in interest rates could impact the Group’s funding costs adversely, resulting in a decrease in distributable income. Furthermore, fluctuations in interest rates may impact the Group’s earnings before interest due to the impact this may have on the property market in which the Group operates.
Insurance
- The Group purchases insurance as is customary for property owners and managers. This insurance provides a degree of protection for the Group’s assets, liabilities and people. There is a risk that insurance may not be available or sufficient. Furthermore, there are some risks that are uninsurable or risks where the insurance coverage is reduced.
Property Market Risks
- The Group will be subject to the prevailing property market conditions in the sectors in which it operates. Adverse changes in market sentiment or market conditions may impact the Group’s ability to acquire, manage or develop assets, as well as the value of the Group’s properties and other assets. These impacts could lead to a reduction in earnings and the carrying value of assets.
Debt Covenants
- The Group’s debt facilities are subject to a variety of covenants including interest coverage ratios and loan to value ratios. In the event of unforeseen fluctuations in rental income or a fall in asset values, the Group may be in breach of its loan covenants and be required to repay amounts outstanding under the debt facilities immediately and sell properties at unacceptable prices. Furthermore, there is a risk that unforeseen capital expenditure may be required under the terms of the current leases. This may in turn impact the cash available to service debt.
Litigation and Disputes
- Legal and other disputes (including industrial disputes) may arise from time to time in the ordinary course of operations. Any such dispute may impact on earnings or affect the value of the Group’s assets.
Regulatory Issues and Changes in Law
- Changes in laws or regulatory regimes may have a materially adverse impact on the financial performance of the Group by reducing income or increasing costs such as changes to environmental laws which may impact forecast capital expenditure.
Development Projects
-
There is a risk that the developer and/or builder may be unable to complete their contractual obligation to develop the Development Projects. The Group is not a developer and has put in place various arrangements designed to minimise, as much as possible, the loss which may arise to the Group as a result of this occurring. Despite these various arrangements, there is a risk that the Group may not be able to procure the completion of the Development Projects either at all or at a similar cost/timeframe as currently proposed if this risk occurs. If the developer or the builder does not complete their respective development within the required timeframe or a major pre-committed tenant does not occupy the property, Growthpoint can put the property to the respective developer. However, the developers and the developers’ guarantors may not have the financial capacity to acquire the relevant property. Furthermore, any pre-committed tenant may be able to terminate its rental obligations if the developer and/or builder is unable to complete their contractual obligation to develop their respective development.
-
Completion of the acquisition of the Fox Sports Development site is subject to agreeing outstanding contractual arrangements with the Developer and the Builder and the completion of the funding arrangements. The Fox Sports Development acquisition will not proceed if these requirements are not met.

KEY RISKS
Employees and Directors
- The Group is reliant on retaining its key directors, senior executives and other employees. The loss of any director, senior executive employee or key personnel could negatively impact the Group’s operations.
General Economic Conditions
- The Group’s operating and financial performance is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, including the level of inflation, interest rates, ability to access funding, oversupply and demand conditions and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies. Prolonged deterioration in these conditions, including an increase in interest rates and an increase in the cost of capital could have a material adverse impact on the Group’s operating and financial performance.
Land values
- Events may occur from time to time that affect the value of land which may then impact the financial returns generated from particular property related investment businesses or projects. For example, unanticipated environmental issues may impact on the future earnings of Growthpoint Properties Australia. Such events may materially affect Growthpoint Properties Australia’s earnings and value.
Foreign exchange/currency risk
- All information in this Presentation is provided in Australian dollars. Security holders who are based outside of Australia, or who rely on funding denominated in currency(s) other than the Australian dollar, should be aware of the impact that fluctuations in exchange rates may have on the value of their investments in, and returns from, GOZ.
Changes in Accounting Policy
- The Group must report and prepare financial statements in accordance with prevailing accounting standards and policies. There may be changes in these accounting standards and policies in the future which may have an adverse impact on the Group.
Forward Looking Statements and Financial Forecasts
-
There can be no guarantee that the assumptions and contingencies contained within forward looking statements, opinions or estimates (including projections, guidance on future earnings and estimates) will ultimately prove to be valid or accurate. The forward looking statements, opinions and estimates depend on various factors, many of which are outside the control of the Group.
-
No assurances can be given in relation to the payment of future distributions. Future determinations as to the payment of distributions by the Group will be at the discretion of the Directors and will depend upon the availability of profits, the operating results and financial condition of the Group, future capital requirements, covenants in relevant financing agreements, general business and financial conditions and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. No assurance can be given in relation to the level of franking or tax deferral of future distributions. Franking or tax deferred capacity will depend upon the amount of tax paid in the future, the existing balance of franking credits and other factors.
Counterparty / credit risk
- A-REITS are exposed to the risk that third parties, such as tenants, developers, service providers and financial counterparties to derivatives (including foreign exchange and interest rate hedging instruments) and other contracts may not be willing or able to perform their obligations.
Fixed nature of costs
- Many costs associated with the ownership and management of property assets are fixed in nature. The value of properties (and the value attributed to Growthpoint Properties Australia) may be adversely affected if the income from the asset declines and these fixed costs remain unchanged.
