ASX ANNOUNCEMENT ING REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY LIVING GROUP (ILF) 16 February 2009

ILF UPDATES MARKET ON DEBT FACILITY AND DIVESTMENTS

ING Real Estate Community Living Group announced today that the Fund has received an email from Huntington National Bank over the weekend that Huntington is taking a new strategic direction following the appointment of a new Chairman. It is likely, though we are yet to receive formal notification, that as a consequence ILF will have to repay its facility in 120 days time. The facility is currently drawn to US$15.5m. We will endeavour to communicate with Huntington National Bank over the next few days to clarify the situation while at the same time pursue a contingency funding plan. We will keep the market informed of further developments when they arise.

The Fund also announced that it has completed the sale of its two US Student assets located in Richmond, Virginia – Capital Garage and Ramz Hall. These assets were sold for US$19.3m, representing an 8% discount to 30 June 2008 valuations. Both properties were acquired in 2006. The proceeds have been applied to reduce US debt.

The Fund also announced that ILF has exited its 50% interest in the Oak Tree Group portfolio for a nominal amount. This transaction will significantly improve ILF’s calendar year 2009 cash flows, and is in line with the Fund’s strategy to simplify its joint venture structures.
