Dear Nominee/Custodian

Ingenia Communities Holdings Limited (ACN 154 444 925) and Ingenia Communities RE Limited (ACN 154 464 990) as responsible entity for Ingenia Communities Fund (ARSN 107 459 576) and Ingenia Communities Management Trust (ARSN 122 928 410) (together Ingenia Communities Group) (“INA” or “Offeror”)

Approximately A$475 million equity raising by way of an accelerated non-renounceable pro rata entitlement offer

Important instructions to nominees and / or custodians acting for beneficial owners of securities in INA

If you are not the correct person in your organisation to receive this letter we apologise and ask that you forward it to the most appropriate person. Terms used but not defined in this letter have the same meaning given to them in the retail offer booklet dated 2 November 2021 and lodged with ASX on that date, including any supplementary or replacement retail offer booklet that may be subsequently lodged in connection with the Entitlement Offer ( Retail Offer Booklet ).

INTRODUCTION

On 1 November 2021, INA announced a A$475 million underwritten equity raising by way of a 1 for 4.24 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer ( Entitlement Offer ).

The Entitlement Offer comprises an accelerated institutional component open to eligible institutional security holders ( Institutional Offer ) and a retail component open to eligible retail security holders ( Retail Offer ).

The proceeds from the Entitlement Offer will be used to partially fund several strategic acquisitions as announced to ASX on 1 November 2021.

Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible securityholders in INA will be entitled to subscribe for 1 new security in INA ( Offer Securities ) for every 4.24 existing securities ( Existing Securities ) held in INA as at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday, 3 November 2021 ( Record Date ) ( Entitlements ).

Offer Securities are being offered at an offer price of A$6.12 per Offer Security ( Offer Price ).

The Entitlement Offer is being made pursuant to sections 708AA and 1012DAA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ( Corporations Act ) (as modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 ), which allows rights issues to be offered without a prospectus or product disclosure statement.

Jarden Australia Pty Limited, Goldman Sachs Australia Pty Ltd and UBS AG, Australia Branch are acting as underwriters to the Entitlement Offer ( Underwriters ), subject to the terms of an underwriting agreement.

BACKGROUND AND DOCUMENTS

We refer to the Retail Offer. As a nominee/custodian securityholder in INA, you will shortly receive (if you have not already):

  • a copy of documentation in relation to the Retail Offer ( Information Materials ); and

  • a personalised Entitlement and Application Form. The personalised Entitlement and Application Form will indicate a pro-rata allocation of Entitlements based on the number of Existing Securities that you hold in aggregate under your nominee/custodian account name on the Record Date.

As the Entitlement Offer is non-renounceable, Entitlements under the Retail Offer cannot be traded, transferred, sold, assigned or otherwise dealt with (whether on ASX or on any other exchange, or privately). If Eligible Retail Securityholders (as defined below) take no action they will not be allocated any Offer Securities and their Entitlements will lapse.

No action has been taken to register or qualify the Offer Securities or the Entitlement Offer or otherwise permit the public offering of the Offer Securities in any jurisdiction outside Australia, except to certain institutional and professional investors in, and to the extent permitted under, the section titled "International offer jurisdictions" in the Investor Presentation lodged with ASX. Please refer to such section for more information.

The Offer Securities are not being offered to the public within New Zealand other than to holders of Existing Securities with registered addresses in New Zealand to whom the offer of Offer Securities is being made in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct (Incidental Offers) Exemption Notice 2016.

The Underwriters have not authorised or caused the issue of this letter or made or authorised the making of any statement that is included in this letter or any statement on which a statement in this letter is based. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Underwriters and their respective related bodies corporate and affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, advisers and representatives expressly disclaim and take no responsibility for any statements in or omissions from this letter.

RETAIL OFFER - ELIGIBILITY

Eligible Retail Securityholders

In order to comply with relevant securities laws, the Retail Offer is only open to those holders of securities in INA who:

  • were a registered holder of securities in INA ( Securities ) as at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date;

  • have a registered address on the INA securityholder register in Australia or New Zealand;

  • are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent such person holds Securities in INA for the account or benefit of such person in the United States);

  • are not an Eligible Institutional Securityholder (other than as a nominee to the extent that the nominee also holds Existing Securities on behalf of an Eligible Retail Securityholder) or an Ineligible Securityholder (each as defined in the Retail Offer Booklet lodged with ASX on 2 November 2021); and

  • are eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Offer without any requirement for a prospectus, product disclosure statement or other formal offer document to be lodged or registered.

Such Securityholders are referred to in this letter as Eligible Retail Securityholders .

INA and the Underwriters reserve the right to reject any application that they believe comes from a person who is not an Eligible Retail Securityholder. INA, the Underwriters and each of their respective affiliates and related bodies corporate and each of their respective directors, officers, partners, employees, advisers and agents disclaims any liability (including for negligence) in respect of the determination of eligibility of investors for the purposes of the Entitlement Offer and the exercise or otherwise of that discretion, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Eligible Underlying Securityholders

For legal and regulatory reasons, the Retail Offer is only being made available to the beneficial owners of Existing Securities for whom you act as custodian or nominee, who are:

  • not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent such person holds Securities in INA for the account or benefit of such person in the United States);

  • not an Eligible Institutional Securityholder as defined in the Retail Offer Booklet (other than as a nominee to the extent that the nominee also holds Securities on behalf of an Eligible Retail Securityholder);

  • not an Ineligible Securityholder (as defined in the Retail Offer Booklet); and

  • eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Offer.

Such persons are referred to in this letter as Eligible Underlying Securityholders .

Compliance with Foreign Securities Laws

You must not send copies of any Information Materials, the personalised Entitlement and Application Form or any other material relating to the Entitlement Offer to any of your clients (or any other person) who are not Eligible Underlying Securityholders.

In particular, the Offer Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 ( Securities Act ) or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United States. Accordingly, the Offer Securities may not be offered or sold in the United States, except in a transaction exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable U.S. state securities laws. The Offer Securities to be offered and sold in the Retail Offer may only be offered and sold outside the United States in ‘offshore transactions’ (as defined in Rule 902(h) under the Securities Act) in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

In dealing with beneficial owners of Existing Securities, custodians/nominees will need to assess whether indirect participation in the Entitlement Offer by the beneficiary complies with applicable foreign laws. Neither INA nor the Underwriters will advise as to, and neither is responsible for determining, whether any such person qualifies as an Eligible Underlying Securityholder. Accordingly, any application made on the

respective personalised Entitlement and Application Forms by you on behalf of beneficial owners of Existing Securities for whom you act as nominee or custodian must only be for Eligible Underlying Securityholders as set out above. For further information, please refer to the "International offer jurisdictions" section of the Investor Presentation.

The Information Materials do not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities to any person in any jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer.

Warranties and Representations

Return of the Entitlement and Application Form or payment of Application Monies by you on behalf of beneficial owners of Existing Securities for which you act as nominee and/or custodian will be taken by INA to constitute a representation by you that there has been no breach of any such laws or the representations, warranties, acknowledgements and restrictions set out in this letter and the Information Materials, the Entitlement and Application Form or any other relevant materials. Further, consistent with the representations and warranties contained in the Entitlement and Application Form, you are also advised not to submit any completed Entitlement and Application Form with respect to the Retail Offer on behalf of any of your clients (or any other person) resident in the United States or who are acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States. Failure to comply with these restrictions may result in violations of applicable laws. You are therefore advised to seek independent legal advice as to how to proceed.

Not Financial Product Advice

INA is not licensed to provide financial product advice in respect of Entitlements or Offer Securities. The information in this letter is general information only, does not constitute a securities recommendation or financial product advice, and has been prepared without taking account of the investment objectives, financial situation or needs of any particular investor. You should read the Information Materials, which includes a summary of general and specific risk factors, and consider whether any investment is appropriate having regard to your (or your client’s) objectives, financial situation or needs before acting on the information.

Ineligible Securityholders

IMPORTANT NOTE: Any underlying beneficial owners of Existing Securities who are not Eligible Underlying Securityholders are ineligible to apply for Offer Securities under the Retail Offer. If you are a nominee for underlying beneficial owners of Existing Securities who are not Eligible Underlying Securityholders, you must neither submit personalised Entitlement and Application Forms nor apply for Offer Securities on their behalf. In particular, without limiting the foregoing, you must not submit an Entitlement and Application Form, or make payment via EFT or BPAY® on behalf of an underlying beneficial owner of Existing Securities that is in (or is resident in) the United States, or is acting for the account or benefit of a person that is in (or is resident in) the United States.

Failure to comply with the restrictions contained in this letter may result in violations of applicable securities laws. You are advised to seek independent advice as to how to proceed in this regard.

Your completed Entitlement and Application Form will be taken by INA and the Underwriters to constitute a representation by you that you have complied with the Entitlement Offer requirements, the Information Materials, this letter and all applicable laws.
