Chairman’s Letter

Dear Securityholder

On behalf of the Board of Growthpoint Properties Australia, I am pleased to invite you to participate in a 1 for 4.4 renounceable rights offer of new stapled securities in Growthpoint Properties Australia. The Rights Offer will raise approximately $102.6 million at an offer price of $1.90 per stapled security which will be used to repay debt arising from the takeover of the Rabinov Property Trust (refer below for more details), reduce gearing, fund initial payments for the proposed acquisition of a to-be-constructed office building in Nundah, Queensland and provide a platform for future growth.

Takeover of rabinov ProPerTy TrusT

On 13 April 2011, Growthpoint Properties Australia announced that it was making a scrip-for-scrip off-market takeover offer to acquire all the units in Rabinov Property Trust (“Rabinov”) (“Transaction”) and that this offer had been unanimously recommended by the directors of Rabinov Property Management Limited as responsible entity of Rabinov (subject to certain conditions which have now been met).

Rabinov is a diversified property trust listed on the ASX with 12 properties valued at $226 million (as at 31 December 2010). Growthpoint Properties Australia will only be acquiring six properties valued at $184.0 million (as at 31 May 2011) as part of its takeover (refer to the Investor Presentation included in this booklet for details of the properties being acquired by Growthpoint Properties Australia) with the remaining six properties having been sold to entities associated with the previous major security holder of Rabinov.

On 7 June 2011, Growthpoint Properties Australia announced that its takeover offer had become unconditional following approval of the sale of certain properties which did not meet its investment criteria to Rabinov’s major unit holder and Growthpoint Properties Australia achieving at least 90% acceptance of its offer from Rabinov unit holders.

Growthpoint Properties Australia is now the legal and beneficial owner of 98.97% of the units in Rabinov and will seek to obtain legal and beneficial ownership of 100% of these units as soon as possible in accordance with the mechanism provided by the Corporations Act. The management function of the Rabinov assets has been transferred to Growthpoint.

Merged grouP

The Rabinov Transaction has resulted in Growthpoint Properties Australia’s property portfolio having the following characteristics:

  1. a diversified property investment portfolio of 37 investment properties valued at approximately $1.24 billion (based on 31 December 2010 values, including energex Nundah acquisition but excluding GOZ properties contracted for sale, Lot 1, 44-54 Raglan Street, Preston and 6 Koornang Road, Scoresby);

  2. high quality tenant base including Woolworths (37% of rental income), Ge Capital Finance Australia (9%), Coles Group (6%) and Sinclair Knight Merz (5%);

  3. 100% occupancy and a long weighted average lease expiry of 8.9 years (as at 31 May 2011); and

PayMenT

You can pay in the following ways:

  • BPAY (in which case you do not need to return the entitlement and Acceptance Form); or

  • cheque, bank draft or money order.

GENERAL

Cash payments will not be accepted. Receipts for payment will not be issued.

Any Application Money received for more than your final allocation of New Stapled Securities (including any Additional Stapled Securities applied for) will be refunded as soon as practicable. If you subscribe for less than your full entitlement or do not pay for your full entitlement, you are taken to have taken up your entitlement in respect of the whole number of New Stapled Securities that is covered in full by your Application Money. Any Application Money received for more than your final allocation of New Stapled Securities and Additional New Stapled Securities that is below a sum of $1.90 will not be refunded. No interest will be paid to Applicants on any Application Money received or refunded.

PAYmENT BY BPAY

For payment by BPAY please follow the instructions on the personalised entitlement and Acceptance Form but note that you do not need to return the slip attached to the entitlement and Acceptance Form if you take up your Rights via this method. You can only make a payment via BPAY if you are the holder of an account with an Australian financial institution that supports BPAY transactions.

Please note that should you choose to pay by BPAY:

  • you do not need to return the slip attached to the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form but are taken to make the declarations and other statements on the entitlement and Acceptance Form (and in this Offer Booklet) as if you had returned the slip;

  • if you do not pay for your full entitlement, you will be regarded as having taken up your entitlement in respect of such whole

number of New Stapled Securities which is covered in full by your Application Money; and

  • if you apply for Additional Stapled Securities and do not pay for the full number of Additional Stapled Securities applied for, you will be regarded as having applied for such whole number of Additional Stapled Securities which is covered in full by your Application Money.

It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY payment is received by no later than 5.00pm (AeST) Monday, 18 July 2011. You should be aware that your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off times with regards to electronic payment, and you should therefore take this into consideration when making payment.

PAYmENT BY CHEQUE, BANK DRAFT OR mONEY ORDER

For payment by cheque, bank draft or money order, you should complete your entitlement and Acceptance Form in accordance with the instructions on that form and return the slip accompanied by a cheque, bank draft or money order for the amount of the Application Money, payable to ‘Growthpoint Rights Offer’ and crossed ‘Not Negotiable’.

  • for an amount equal to $1.90 multiplied by the number of New Stapled Securities (including any Additional Stapled Securities) that you are applying for; and

  • in Australian currency drawn on an Australian branch of a financial institution.

You should ensure that sufficient funds are held in relevant account(s) to cover the Application Money as your cheques will be processed on the day of receipt. If the amount of your cheque for Application Money (or the amount for which the cheque clears in time for allocation) is insufficient to pay in full for the number of New Stapled Securities you have applied for, including any Additional Stapled Securities, you will be taken to have applied for such lower number of whole New Stapled Securities as your cleared Application Money will pay

for (and to have specified that number of New Stapled Securities on your entitlement and Acceptance Form). Alternatively, your application may not be accepted in Growthpoint Properties Australia’s absolute discretion.

  • (c) you have not and will not send any materials relating to the Rights Offer to any person in the United States or that is, or is acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person.

role of your sTockbroker

Where you elect to sell Rights, your stockbroker will act on your behalf. Growthpoint Properties Australia accepts no responsibility for any failure by your stockbroker to carry out your instructions. Persons buying Rights will need to pay the Application Money to take them up and should follow the directions of their stockbroker.

enTiTleMenTs of excluded securiTyholders

In compliance with Listing Rule 7.7.1 and sections 708AA, 1012DAA (including section 9A) and 615 of the Corporations Act, Growthpoint Properties Australia will

arrange for the sale on ASX of the Rights which would have been granted to excluded Securityholders. Growthpoint Properties Australia will direct the net proceeds (if any) to excluded Securityholders.

Growthpoint Properties Australia will have the absolute and sole discretion to determine the timing and the price at which the Rights may be sold during the Rights trading period and the manner in which any sale is made. Any interest earned on the proceeds of the sale of these Rights will be applied against expenses of such sale, including brokerage, and any balance will accrue to Growthpoint Properties Australia.

The proceeds of sale (if any) will be paid in Australian dollars to the excluded Securityholders for whose benefit the Rights have been sold in proportion to their securityholdings (after deducting brokerage commission and other expenses). If any such net proceeds of sale are less than the reasonable costs that would be incurred by Growthpoint Properties Australia for distributing those proceeds, such proceeds may be retained by Growthpoint Properties Australia.

Notwithstanding that Growthpoint Properties Australia may sell Rights, excluded Securityholders may nevertheless receive no net proceeds if the costs of the sale are greater than the sale proceeds.

Growthpoint Properties Australia will not be liable for a failure to sell Rights or to sell Rights at any particular price. If, in the reasonable opinion of Growthpoint Properties Australia, there is no viable market for the Rights of excluded Securityholders, or a surplus over the expenses of sale is unlikely to be obtained for the Rights that would have been offered to the excluded Securityholders, then those Rights will be allowed to lapse.

05 Important Information

general

You should read the information in this Offer Booklet carefully and in its entirety before deciding whether to invest in New Stapled Securities. In particular, you should consider the risk factors outlined in the Investor Presentation contained in this Offer Booklet at page 18, which was separately released to the ASX on Tuesday, 21 June 2011 that could affect the operating and financial performance of Growthpoint Properties Australia or the value of an investment in Growthpoint Properties Australia .

Growthpoint Properties Australia has applied for the grant by ASX of official quotation of the New Stapled Securities. If the ASX does not grant quotation for the New Stapled Securities, Growthpoint Properties Australia will not allot any New Stapled Securities and all Application Money will be refunded without interest.

It is expected that normal trading will commence in relation to New Stapled Securities issued under the Rights Offer on Wednesday, 27 July 2011. Growthpoint Properties Australia disclaims all liability (to the maximum extent permitted by law) to persons who trade New Stapled Securities before the New Stapled Securities are quoted on ASX or receiving their confirmation of issue, whether on the basis of confirmation of the allocation provided by Growthpoint Properties Australia or the Registry.

excluded securiTyholders

Growthpoint Properties Australia is only making an offer under the Rights Offer to eligible Securityholders. An eligible Securityholder is a holder of Stapled Securities who is registered as a holder of Stapled Securities as at 7.00pm (AeST) on the Record Date and who is not an excluded Securityholder.

A person will be an Excluded Securityholder if that person:

has a registered address which is not in Australia or New Zealand (or, for

Institutional Securityholders, any other jurisdiction as Growthpoint Properties Australia determines);

  • is in the United States or is a U.S. Person (as defined in Regulation S under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933) or acting for the account or benefit of a U.S. Person; or

  • is ineligible under any applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Rights Offer.

Growthpoint Properties Australia has decided that it is unreasonable to extend the Rights Offer to excluded Securityholders having regard to:

  • the number of Securityholders outside Australia and New Zealand;

  • the number and value of New Stapled Securities that would be offered to Securityholders outside of Australia and New Zealand; and

  • the cost of complying with the legal requirements, and requirements of regulatory authorities, in the overseas jurisdictions.

underWriTing arrangeMenTs and fees

certain indemnities. Any sub-underwriter appointed by Growthpoint SA may be paid a fee determined by negotiation between Growthpoint SA and the relevant subunderwriter. Any sub-underwriter’s fees in respect of the Rights Offer would be paid by Growthpoint SA out of the fees payable to the Underwriter.

No additional fees are payable to or by Growthpoint Properties Australia in relation to the Rights Offer.

TaxaTion

Set out below is a summary of the Australian tax implications of the Rights Offer for eligible Securityholders who are residents of Australia for tax purposes and who hold their Stapled Securities as capital assets.

The summary below does not apply to eligible Securityholders who hold their Stapled Securities as assets used in carrying on a business or who may carry on the business of security trading, banking or investment.

The summary below does not apply to eligible Securityholders whose Stapled Securities are held through an employee security plan or whose Stapled Securities are held as revenue assets or trading stock.

The summary below also does not take account of any individual circumstances of any particular eligible Securityholder. eligible Securityholders should seek specific advice applicable to their own particular circumstances from their own financial or tax advisers.

The summary below is based on the law in effect as at the date of this Offer Booklet.

ISSUE OF RIGHTS

Subject to the qualifications noted above, the issue of the Rights will not itself result in any amount being included in the assessable income of an eligible Securityholder.

EXERCISE OF RIGHTS

eligible Securityholders who exercise their Rights and are allocated New Stapled Securities (including any Additional Stapled Securities applied for and allocated) the cost base for capital gains tax ( cgT ) purposes of Growthpoint Properties Australia Trust (the Trust ) and Growthpoint Properties Australia Limited will be equal to a reasonable apportionment of the offer price payable by them for those stapled securities plus a reasonable apportionment of any nondeductible incidental costs they incur in acquiring them.

eligible Securityholders will not make any capital gain or loss, or assessable income, from exercising Rights or subscribing for the New Stapled Securities.

EXPIRATION OF RIGHTS

For eligible Securityholders that do not exercise their Rights to acquire the New Stapled Securities, the Rights will lapse or expire. eligible Securityholders will not be deemed to receive any consideration as a result of the expiration or lapse of their Rights. On this basis, there should not be any CGT implications for eligible Securityholders on the expiration of the Rights.

NEW STAPLED SECURITIES

eligible Securityholders who exercise their Rights will acquire New Stapled Securities (including any Additional Stapled Securities applied for and allocated). Any future dividends or other distributions made in respect of those New Stapled Securities will be subject to the same taxation treatment as dividends or other distributions made on Stapled Securities held in the same circumstances.

If eligible Securityholders receive a ‘tax deferred’ distribution, it will generally not be included in an eligible Securityholder’s assessable income. However the tax deferred component will reduce the cost base of the units in the Trust (as described above) and a capital gain will arise to the

extent a tax deferred distribution exceeds the cost base of the units.

On any future disposal of New Stapled Securities, eligible Securityholders may make a capital gain or capital loss, depending on whether the capital proceeds of that disposal are more than the cost base or less than the reduced cost base of the New Stapled Securities.

New Stapled Securities will be treated for the purposes of the CGT discount as having been acquired when the eligible Securityholder exercised the Right to subscribe for them. Accordingly, in order to benefit from the CGT discount in respect of a disposal of those stapled securities, they must have been held for at least 12 months after that date before the disposal occurs.

OTHER AUSTRALIAN TAXES

No Australian Goods and Services Tax ( gsT ) or stamp duty is payable in respect of the grant or exercise of Rights or the acquisition of New Stapled Securities[6] .

Securityholders should seek their own professional advice.
