ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

FKP PROPERTY GROUP ANNOUNCES PURCHASE OF RETIREMENT VILLAGE PORTFOLIO IN UNITED STATES

FKP Property Group (FKP) today announced the joint purchase of a portfolio of senior living facilities in the South East of the United States for a consideration of approximately $US113m (including transaction costs). The purchase has been made on a 50/50 basis with Macquarie Group Limited (MQG).

The assets were purchased from syndicates of investors. The portfolio of eight villages comprises 522 beds in attractive retirement locations in Florida (4), Tennessee (2), Georgia (1) and South Carolina (1).

Managing Director and CEO of FKP, Mr Peter Brown, said today “This purchase strengthens the strategic relationship in the senior living / retirement sector that FKP enjoys with Macquarie, with the two parties having recently announced the successful establishment of the Retirement Villages Group (RVG) wholesale fund with a mandate to invest in quality senior living / retirement village assets in Australia and New Zealand.”

Mr Brown added “The purchase reflects FKP’s strategy of growing its recurring income streams, and is a logical extension of FKP’s activities, given its industry leadership position over a long period in the Australian senior living / retirement village sector.”

The US portfolio includes a mix of assisted living and independent living units, similar to serviced apartments and independent living units operated by FKP and RVG in Australia. The facilities operate under a rental model, which is the most common form of arrangement in the US. With new units currently being let following recent expansion at three of the villages, occupancy levels are expected to stabilise at above 90% by mid-2008.

The transaction has been project-financed in the US, and each of FKP and MQG have contributed about $US23.5m of equity.

The Principal Senior Living Group (PSLG), which has successfully operated the villages on behalf of the previous owners, will continue to provide management services.
