9 Issue of Stapled Securities

$9.1$ Clause to take precedence

With the exception of clause 29, the provisions of clause 9 are paramount and apply on and from the Stapling Commencement Date, despite any other provision of this document.

$9.2$ Units to be Stapled

  • $(a)$ On and from the Stapling Commencement Date, the Units are to be Stapled to the PT Units in the ratio of one Unit to one PT Unit, so that:
    • $(i)$ holders of Ordinary Units are identical to the holders of Joined Securities:
    • $(ii)$ if further Joined Securities are Stapled to the Units, the holders of those other Joined Securities are identical to the Unitholders; and
    • $(iii)$ so far as the Applicable Standards permit, a Unit and a PT Unit which are Stapled and any other Joined Security Stapled to the Unit from time to time, are treated as one security.
  • $(b)$ Any Ordinary Units issued before the Stapling Commencement Date must, from the Stapling Commencement Date, be Stapled to PT Units, in the ratio of one Unit to each PT Unit, to form a Stapled Security.
  • While Stapling applies, the number of issued Ordinary Units must equal the number of $(c)$ issued Joined Securities and, if further Joined Securities are Stapled to the Stapled Securities from time to time, the number of any other issued Joined Securities at that time.
  • $(d)$ Clause 9 only applies in respect of Ordinary Units and does not restrict the issue of other classes of Units as it is intended that, unless the Manager decides otherwise, only Ordinary Units are to be stapled to PT Units and other Joined Securities.

$9.3$ Obligations while Stapling applies

  • $(a)$ While Stapling applies, neither the Manager nor the Unitholders must do, or refrain from doing, anything if it would result in any Unit no longer being Stapled and forming part of a Stapled Security. In particular:
    • $(i)$ the Manager must not Offer any Units for subscription unless an Offer is made at the same time and to the same person to subscribe for an identical number of PT Units and, if applicable, other Joined Securities;
    • $(ii)$ any Offer relating to Units for subscription or sale must require each offeree to subscribe for or buy a number of PT Units and, if applicable, a number of other Joined Securities equal to the number of Units subscribed for or bought;
    • $(iii)$ the Manager must not issue any Units to any person unless an identical number of PT Units and, if applicable, other Joined Securities, are also issued or sold to the same person at the same time;
    • $(iv)$ the Manager must not register any transfer of Units to any person unless an identical number of PT Units and, if applicable, other Joined Securities, are also transferred to the same person at the same time; and

  • the Manager must not consolidate, subdivide, forfeit, cancel, buy back or $(v)$ reorganise (as defined in the Listing Rules) any Units or otherwise reorganise the Trust unless at the same time there is a corresponding consolidation, subdivision, cancellation, buy back or reorganisation (as defined in the Listing Rules) of PT Units and, if applicable, other Joined Securities, or re-organisation of the capital of the Passive Trust and, where relevant, each other Stapled Entity.
  • Before the date upon which the Units become Unstapled, if Units have been issued, the $(b)$ relevant Unitholders and the Manager must cooperate to ensure that:
    • if necessary, PT Units and, where relevant, other Joined Securities are issued to $(i)$ the holders of the Units: and
    • the Units are Stapled to the PT Units and, where relevant, to the other Joined $(ii)$ Securities to form Stapled Securities.
  • The Manager must use every reasonable endeavour to ensure that Stapled Securities are $(c)$ dealt with under this document in a manner consistent with the provisions relating to Stapling in the trust deed of the Passive Trust and in the governing document of any other Stapled Entity.

Unstapling $9.4$

  • Subject to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and approval by a Special Resolution of $(a)$ the Unitholders and the holders of other Joined Securities, the Manager may determine that the Stapled Provisions must cease to apply. If the Manager does so, it may at a later time give notice that the application of the Stapling Provisions is to recommence.
  • Each Unit remains Stapled to a PT Unit and, if applicable, each other type of Joined $(b)$ Security to which it is Stapled until the date the Units are Unstapled. Units must cease to be Stapled to any security which ceases to be on issue and, in such circumstance, the Manager must do all things reasonably necessary to procure that each Unit is Unstapled.
  • Subject to the Corporations Act, a Stapling Provision may not be amended except with $(c)$ the prior written consent of the Manager.

$9.5$ Registration

Subject to clauses 6.3 and 6.4, the Manager must issue a certificate or a holding statement, under the requirements of the CHESS system, in respect of the Stapled Securities, identifying the Stapled Securities to which the certificate or holding statement relates.

  • $(c)$ if the Unit is not Officially Quoted, the Issue Price determined under clause 8.1(b)(i), calculated as at the last Valuation Date before the calculation date;
  • a price determined by the Manager under clauses 8.4, 8.5 or 8.10; or $(d)$

  • $(h)$ If the Units to which the Option relates are in a Class of Units Officially Quoted, the Exercise Price of an Option must not be less than 50% of the Market Price of a Unit on the date which is five Business Days before the Options issue is announced.
  • $(i)$ If the Units to which the Option relates are in a Class of Units Officially Quoted and Stapling applies, the Exercise Price of an Option must not be less than 50% of an amount equal to the Market Price of Stapled Securities on the date which is five business days before the Options are offered, minus the issue price of Joined Securities as determined by the Manager under clause 8.14.
  • If the Units to which the Option relates are in a Class of Units not Officially Quoted, the $(i)$ Exercise Price of an Option must not be less than 50% of the Issue Price of a Unit calculated under clause 8.1(b)(i) on the date which is five Business Days before the Options are offered.

  • $(k)$ The Manager must offer the Options to Entitled Unitholders at substantially the same time.
  • $(1)$ The Manager must only issue Options to its Associates as Entitled Unitholders.
  • $(m)$ The entitlement of holders of Partly Paid Units must be determined by reference to the amount of the Issue Price actually paid up on those Partly Paid Units at the relevant time.

10.4 Reorganisation of Options

Subject to the Listing Rules and the Option terms, the Manager may reorganise Options.

10.5 Option exercise

  • Options must be exercised under their terms. $(a)$
  • $(b)$ The Manager may only refuse to issue Units on exercise of an Option if the terms of issue or the Listing Rules (if applicable) permit refusal or if any law requires refusal.
  • $(c)$ While Stapling applies to Units to which the Option relates, an Option may only be exercised if, at the same time as Units are issued upon exercise of the Option, the same person acquires an identical number of Joined Securities which are then Stapled to the Units.

$10.6$ Rights attaching to Options

  • An Option does not confer an interest in, or a right to participate in, the income or capital $(a)$ of the Trust Fund.
  • Each Optionholder agrees not to: $(b)$
    • $(i)$ interfere with any rights or powers of the Manager under this document;
    • $(ii)$ purport to exercise a right in respect of an Asset or claim any interest in an Asset (for example, by lodging a caveat affecting an Asset); or
    • $(iii)$ require an Asset to be transferred to them (or any other person).
  • $(c)$ Subject to the terms of the Option and the Corporations Act, a Optionholder who is not a Unitholder may attend a meeting of Unitholders, but is not entitled to receive notice of or speak or vote at such a meeting.
  • $(d)$ Subject to the terms of the Option and the Corporations Act, an Optionholder who is not a Unitholder is not entitled to any rights of a Unitholder.

11 Partly Paid Units

$11.1$ Terms of issue

  • $(b)$ Money due under the terms of issue of a Partly Paid Unit at a fixed date, is deemed to be called on that date.
  • While Stapling applies to Partly Paid Units, the Manager may not issue Partly Paid Units $(c)$ unless a corresponding number of partly paid Joined Securities are also issued to the same party. A call must not be taken to have been validly paid pursuant to this document unless any amount payable at the same time in relation to partly paid Joined Securities is also paid.

11.2 Calls

A holder of a Partly Paid Unit must pay a call made under the terms and conditions of issue of the Partly Paid Unit, to the Manager.

11.3 Prepayment of calls

The Manager may:

  • accept from a Unitholder a payment for a Partly Paid Unit, even if no payment is due; $(a)$
  • $(b)$ pay interest on any amount accepted, until it becomes due, at a rate agreed between the Manager and the Unitholder; and
  • $(c)$ repay the amount or any part of it,

but payment and acceptance of that sum does not confer any right to participate in a Distribution and must not be considered in ascertaining the amount of a Distribution attributable to that Unit.

$11.4$ Interest on late payment of calls

If any call is not paid on or before the date for payment, the holder of the Partly Paid Unit must pay interest on the amount of the call (accruing for the benefit of the Trust) from the date for payment to the date of actual payment, at the Prescribed Rate, and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Manager because of non-payment.

$11.5$ Non-receipt of notice of call

The non-receipt of a notice of a call by a Unitholder, or the accidental omission to give notice of a call to a Unitholder, does not invalidate the call.

$11.6$ Deductions for unpaid calls

If all or part of a call is not paid on or before the date for payment, then until the call is paid, the Manager must deduct unpaid amounts (together with interest accrued and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Manager because of the non-payment) from any amount payable to the relevant Unitholder under this document.

11.7 Forfeiture

If a call is not paid on or before the due date, the Manager may, subject to the Applicable Standards, at any time after that day while any part of a call, interest accrued on that call or the costs and expenses incurred by the Manager because of non-payment, remains unpaid, forfeit to the Manager the Partly Paid Units in respect of which amounts are payable with effect from a date set by

$11.8$ Forfeiture of Joined Securities

If Stapling applies to the Partly Paid Units referred to in clause 11.7, the same number of Joined Securities are forfeited to the Manager with effect from the same date.

11.9 Entry on Register

If a Partly Paid Unit has been forfeited under clause 11.7, the forfeiture and the date of forfeiture must be entered in the Register and, while Stapling applies to that Unit, also in the Stapled Security Register.

11.10 Disposal of forfeited Partly Paid Units

Except where clause 11.12(b) applies, any Partly Paid Unit forfeited by the Manager must be sold by the Manager or its Agent at the Issue Price calculated on the date of the sale, and, whilst Stapling applies to that Unit, an equal number of Joined Securities must also be sold to the same person.

11.11 Annulment of forfeiture

The Manager may at any time before a forfeited Partly Paid Unit is sold, annul the forfeiture upon conditions set by the Manager, and, if Stapling applies to that Unit, the forfeiture of an equal number of Joined Securities held by that Member is also annulled.

11.12 Transfer of forfeited Partly Paid Units

  • On any sale of a forfeited Partly Paid Unit, the Manager may receive the sale price and in $(a)$ the name of the Unitholder whose Partly Paid Unit has been forfeited, transfer the Partly Paid Unit to the person to whom the Partly Paid Unit has been sold and if Stapling applies to that Partly Paid Unit, the same number of Joined Securities are also transferred to the same person.
  • On completion of the transfer, the transferee must be registered as the holder of the $(b)$ Partly Paid Unit and the transferee's title to the Partly Paid Unit is not affected by any irregularity or invalidity in connection with the forfeiture or sale of the Partly Paid Unit, and if Stapling applies to that Partly Paid Unit, registration of the transferee as a holder of the Partly Paid Unit is subject to the transferee also being registered as a holder of an equal number of Joined Securities.

11.13 Liability despite forfeiture

Any Unitholder whose Partly Paid Units have been forfeited must, despite the forfeiture, pay to the Manager the unpaid amount, interest accrued on that part and the costs and expenses incurred by the Manager because of the failure to pay on the due date.

11.14 Manager's lien

Subject to the Listing Rules, the Manager has a first and paramount lien on every Partly Paid Unit and all Distributions and other moneys payable for a Partly Paid Unit, for amounts called or payable on a Partly Paid Unit.

11.15 Sale of Partly Paid Units to enforce lien

For the purpose of enforcing a lien, the Manager may sell the Partly Paid Units subject to the lien, in the same manner as if the Partly Paid Units had been forfeited and if Stapling applies to those Partly Paid Units, an equal number of Joined Securities are also sold to the same person.

11.16 Proceeds of sale

The net proceeds of any sale of forfeited Partly Paid Units or the sale of Partly Paid Units to enforce a lien must be applied in the following order of priority, until each priority is satisfied (if possible):

  • $(a)$ (first priority) payment of all costs relating to the enforcement of the lien or the forfeiture (as the case may be) and the sale;
  • $(b)$ (second priority) if the first priority is satisfied, in payment of the unpaid call and interest on the unpaid call; and
  • $(c)$ (residue) if the first and second priorities are satisfied, the residue (if any) must be paid to the person registered as the Unitholder immediately before the sale.

11.17 Joint holders

Joint holders of Partly Paid Units are jointly and severally liable to pay all amounts due and payable on the Partly Paid Units held by them.

$12$ Transfer and transmission of Interests

$12.1$ Transfer

  • $(a)$ Subject to the provisions of this document and the Applicable Standards, an Interest may be transferred or transmitted.
  • $(b)$ Notwithstanding any other provision of clause 12, if Stapling applies to a Unit, that Unit can only be transferred or transmitted if, in addition to the requirements of clause 12, an equal number of Joined Securities are also transferred or transmitted to the same person.

$12.2$ Instrument of transfer

  • $(a)$ A transfer of an Interest (being a holding for which certificates have been issued not cancelled (Certificated Holding)) must not be registered unless a proper instrument of transfer, stamped if necessary, and signed by the transferor and the transferee is lodged with the Manager, together with the certificates of the Interest to which it relates. The Manager may waive production of any certificate upon evidence satisfactory to the Manager demonstrating its loss or destruction.
  • $(b)$ Any transfer of an Interest (being a holding for which certificates have not been issued or have been issued and cancelled (Uncertificated Holding)) must be effected under the Applicable Standards.

  • Subject to the Applicable Standards the Manager may at its sole discretion accept the $(c)$ transfer of an Interest in any form it considers acceptable or appropriate.
  • While the Trust is Listed, no transfer is permitted except as permitted by the Listing $(d)$ Rules.

The transferor remains the holder of the Interest until the name of the transferee is entered in the Register.

$12.4$ Form of transfer

  • Each transfer of a Certificated Holding of an Interest must be in writing and comply with $(a)$ the Applicable Standards. If the Interest is not Officially Quoted, the transfer must be in a form approved by the Manager.
  • Any transfer of Uncertificated Holdings of an Interest must be carried out in the manner $(b)$ required by the Applicable Standards.

$12.5$ Refusal to register

  • While the Trust is not Listed, the Manager may refuse to register or fail to register or give $(a)$ effect to any transfer of an Interest without assigning a reason.
  • $(b)$ While the Trust is Listed, the Manager may decline to register a transfer of an Interest where to do so would not contravene the Listing Rules and must do so when required by law, by the Applicable Standards, and if Stapling applies to a class of Unit, registration of transfer of Joined Securities also suspended for the same duration. Where the Applicable Standards require, the Manager must notify the lodging party of the refusal to register the transfer and the reasons for the refusal within the time prescribed by the Listing Rules.
  • The Manager has the same right to refuse to register a personal representative or person $(c)$ entitled to Interests on the insolvency or mental incapacity of a Member as it would have if that person were the transferee named in a transfer signed by a living, solvent, competent Member.

Manager's power to apply holding lock and to decline to register 12.6

  • If permitted or required under the Listing Rules or the ASX Settlement Operating Rules $(a)$ the Manager may request any applicable CS Facility Operator to apply a holding lock to prevent a transfer of Interests where the Interests are registered on a CHESS subregister.
  • If the Listing Rules require the Manager to do so, the Manager must request any $(b)$ applicable CS Facility Operator to apply a holding lock to prevent a transfer of Interests registered on the CHESS subregister.
  • $(c)$ If in the exercise of its powers under clause 12.6, the Manager requests a holding lock be applied to prevent a transfer of Interests registered on a CHESS subregister it must give written notice of the same to the Member. Failure to give notice does not invalidate the decision of the Manager.

  • $(d)$ While Stapling applies to a class of Units, the Manager must refuse to register the transfer of those Units if an equal number of Joined Securities are not transferred to the same transferee at the same time.
  • $(e)$ While Stapling applies to a class of Units, the Manager can only request a holding lock be applied to prevent a transfer of Units in that class under clause 12.6(e) where, subject to the Applicable Standards, a holding lock is also applied to an equal number of Joined Securities held by the same person.

$12.7$ Manager may suspend registration of transfer

Subject to the Listing Rules, the Manager may suspend registration of transfers of Interests at the times and for the periods it thinks fit. While Stapling applies to a class of Units, the Manager must not, subject to the Applicable Standards, register a transfer of such Units unless an equal number of Joined Securities are simultaneously transferred to the same transferee.

$12.8$ Powers of attorney

The Manager may assume, as against a Member, that a power of attorney granted by the Member that is lodged with or produced or exhibited to the Manager, remains in force, and may rely on it, until the Manager receives express notice in writing at its registered office of:

  • $(a)$ the revocation of the power of attorney; or
  • $(b)$ the death, dissolution or insolvency of the Member.

12.9 Consideration of transfer

The Manager need not concern itself with the consideration for a transfer of any Interest.

12.10 Transmission - death of joint holder

If a joint holder of an Interest dies:

  • $(a)$ the Manager must recognise only the surviving joint holders as to the holder of the Interest; and
  • $(b)$ the estate of the deceased joint holder is not released from any liability in respect of the Interests.

12.11 Transmission - death of single holder

If a single holder of an Interest dies:

  • $(a)$ the Manager must recognise the legal personal representative of the deceased Member as the holder of the Interest:
  • $(b)$ subject to clauses 12.3 and 12.5(c), the Manager must register the legal personal representative as the holder of the Interest as soon as possible after receipt of a written request to do so; and
  • $(c)$ whether or not registered as the holder of the Interests, the legal personal representative:
    • $(i)$ may, subject to clause 12, transfer the Interests to another person; and

$(ii)$ has the same rights as the deceased Member.

12.12 Transmission - insolvency or mental incapacity

Subject to the Bankruptcy Act 1966 (Cth), if a person, entitled to Interests because of the insolvency or mental incapacity of a Member, gives the Manager the information it reasonably requires to establish the person's entitlement to be registered as holder of the Interests:

  • subject to clauses 12.3 and 12.5(c), the Manager must register that person as the holder $(a)$ of the Interests as soon as possible after receipt of a written and signed notice to the Manager from that person requiring it to do so; and
  • $(b)$ whether or not registered as the holder of the Interests, that person:
    • $(i)$ may, subject to clause 12, transfer the Interests to another person; and
    • $(ii)$ has the same rights as the insolvent or incapable Member.

13 Redemption of Interests

$13.1$ No obligation to redeem

Subject to clause 13.15, the Manager is not obligated to redeem any Member's Interest, and no Member has the right to have his or her Interests redeemed, but the Manager may allow the redemption of Interests, from time to time. While Stapling applies, no Unit, which forms part of a Stapled Security, may be redeemed unless each Stapled Entity also redeems, buys-back, cancels or otherwise acquires an equal number of Joined Securities from the same holder.

$13.2$ Redemption process

  • $(a)$ Where the Trust is Registered and the Trust is not Liquid:
    • $(i)$ an offer by the Manager to redeem Interests must be made in accordance with the requirements of part 5C.6 Corporations Act and this document; and
    • $(ii)$ a Member may only request the Manager redeem any Interests held by the Member pursuant to the offer made under clause $13.2(a)(i)$ .
  • $(b)$ Where the Trust is not Registered, then the withdrawal process will be as determined by the Manager.
  • $(c)$ Where the Units are Officially Quoted no redemption may occur, unless it is conducted in accordance with the Applicable Standards.
  • $(d)$ In either case the withdrawal offer must detail the Redemption Date, being the date upon which Interests will be redeemed or repurchased under the withdrawal offer.

13.3 Redemption price

  • $(a)$ Subject to clause 13.3(b), an Interest may only be redeemed at the Redemption Price.
  • $(b)$ While Units are partly paid, the Uncalled Amount must be deducted from the Redemption Price.

Deducting redemption fees and other amounts from Redemption Amount 13.4

The Manager may deduct from the Redemption Amount payable to a Member:

  • other amounts owing by the Member to the Manager; and $(a)$
  • under clause 13.3(b), any Uncalled Amount. $(b)$

13.5 Funding of redemption

To fund the redemption of Units, the Manager may:

  • apply or realise part of the Trust Fund; or $(a)$
  • $(b)$ obtain financial accommodation,

or a combination of both.

13.6 Time for payment of Redemption Amount

The Manager must pay the Redemption Amount for any Units within 21 days of the Redemption Date.

$13.7$ Cancellation of Units

Units which have been redeemed out of the Trust Fund must be cancelled and the Manager must record the cancellation in the Register.

Transfer of specific Assets $13.8$

The Manager may, in agreement with a Member, decide that the Redemption Amount payable to that Member will be satisfied wholly or in part by the transfer of investments of the Trust Fund at their Current Market Value. Expenses incurred in respect of the transfer must be paid by the Member unless the Manager decides otherwise.

13.9 Cancelling the withdrawal Offer

The Manager may cancel a withdrawal offer by:

  • publishing a notice of cancellation by any means (for example, including, without $(a)$ limitation, in a newspaper or on the internet); or
  • notice in writing to the Members to whom the withdrawal offer was made. $(b)$

13.10 Compulsory redemption of small holdings

If the Unit Value of Units in the Trust Fund held by a Member at the date of calculation is less than the Minimum Redemption Amount, the Manager may redeem those Units at the Redemption Price on the Redemption Date set by it, on the terms set out in clause 12 to the extent applicable.

13.11 Components of Redemption Price and payment of accrued Distributions

Unless the Manager otherwise notifies a Unitholder whose Units are redeemed or $(a)$ repurchased, the Redemption Price paid to that Unitholder is comprised of capital only. The Manager may notify a Unitholder that the Redemption Price is comprised of part

capital and part income. Where the Redemption Price paid to a Unitholder is comprised of income and capital, the Unitholder will be presently entitled (within the meaning of the Tax Act) to the income component and the Manager must notify the Unitholder of the income component of the Redemption Price paid to them. This notice may be given at the time of redemption or repurchase but must in any case be given within three months of the end of the financial year of the Trust Fund in which the redemption or repurchase occurs.

Where a Unit is redeemed or repurchased after a right to a distribution of income or $(b)$ capital has accrued, that distribution may be paid to the holder of the Unit at the time of payment of the applicable Redemption Price even if the distribution has not been paid at that time to holders of other Units.

13.12 Buy-back of Units

  • $(a)$ While the Trust is Listed, the Manager may, subject to and under the Applicable Standards and clause 13.12(c), purchase Units or, where Stapling applies, Stapled Securities on ASX and cause the Units, or the part of the Stapled Securities comprised by Units, to be cancelled.
  • $(b)$ Where Units are bought back on the ASX the Redemption Price is not payable upon the cancellation of the Units.
  • While Stapling applies to a class of Units, the Manager may only buy-back and cancel $(c)$ those Units if an equal number of Joined Securities are also bought back and cancelled contemporaneously by the respective Stapled Entities. Where Units are purchased as part of a Stapled Security pursuant to a buy-back, the Manager must determine, under clause 8.14, what proportion of the price paid for the Stapled Securities relates to Units and is to be paid from the Assets of the Trust Fund.

13.13 Reliance

In calculating the Redemption Price under this clause and clause 14 the Manager incorporates, relies upon and must comply with the terms and conditions of an ASIC Exemption.

13.14 Cooling-off

If a Unitholder has the right under the Applicable Standards to return Units issued by the Manager, the Manager is permitted to cancel the Units and to repay the Unitholder the money that it is required to pay under the Applicable Standards and if Stapling applies to those Units, and subject to compliance with the Applicable Standards, an equal number of Joined Securities issued to the same person are also cancelled by the respective Stapled Entities.

13.15 Redemption while Trust is Liquid

  • Before the issue of Units pursuant to the first Disclosure Document and where the Trust $(a)$ is Liquid:
    • a Unitholder may with the consent of the Manager request to have their Units $(i)$ redeemed by the Manager at the Redemption Price; or
    • the Manager may as agent of a Unitholder lodge a redemption request for that $(ii)$ Unitholders Units to be redeemed at the Redemption Price.
  • The Manager must satisfy the redemption request under paragraph (a) within six months $(b)$ of its receipt.

$(c)$ This clause ceases to apply once Units are issued under the first Disclosure Document.

14 Valuation of Assets

  • $(a)$ The Manager may at its discretion cause all or any Assets to be valued by an Approved Valuer. The cost of any valuation is an Expense.
  • $(b)$ The Manager may, at any time, ascertain the Trust Value, and must do so when the Manager considers it in the best interest for Members to do so.
  • $(c)$ The most recently calculated Trust Value must be recorded by the Manager, but if the Manager reasonably believes that the value is inaccurate, incomplete or out of date, then the Manager must recalculate the Trust Value or have the Trust Value revalued by an Approved Valuer.
  • $(d)$ The Manager's determination of the Trust Value or the value of an Asset binds all the Members.
  • $(e)$ The Manager must maintain a record of the value of the Assets.
  • $(f)$ In calculating Net Trust Value and Trust Liabilities, the Manager may confer with the Auditor to ensure the methodology used is consistent with the Applicable Standards.
  • $(g)$ While the Trust is Registered, an Approved Valuer appointed by the Manager must:
    • $(i)$ not be a related entity or Associate of the Manager; and
    • $(ii)$ have sufficient experience in valuing a particular kind of asset or property to be valued.

15 Distribution of income and capital

$15.1$ Manager to receive income

The Manager will collect all income of the Trust.

$15.2$ Payment of Expenses

The Manager must in each Distribution Period cause all Expenses to be paid, in the first instance out of the income of the Trust according to Accounting Standards and then, if the income is insufficient, out of the balance of the Trust Fund.

Income of Trust $15.3$

The decision of the Manager about whether any item is income or capital is final.

15.4 Distributable income and Income

The Manager must determine the distributable income and the Income of the Trust for each financial year.

15.5 Determination of distributable income

Unless the Manager decides otherwise prior to the end of the financial year, distributable income is:

  • $(a)$ the Income for the financial year: and
  • $(b)$ any additional amount whether income or capital which the Manager considers appropriate for distribution in the period.

15.6 Classification of distributable income

  • $(a)$ The Manager may decide the classification of any item as either income or capital and the extent to which reserves or provisions need to be made.
  • $(b)$ The Manager may keep separate accounts of different categories and sources of income, and allocate the income from any category or source to any Unitholder.

15.7 Present entitlement

A person who at any time during the financial year is or has been a Unitholder, is presently entitled to the distributable income of the Trust for the financial year, in the proportion that the Income Distributions made to the Unitholder in respect of the financial year bear to the sum of the Income Distributions made to all persons who are or have been Unitholders at any time during the financial year.

15.8 Income Distributions

An Income Distribution in respect of a Unitholder means the amount calculated by the Manager as follows:

$(a)$ in respect of a Distribution Period ending on a Distribution Calculation Date other than 30 June in any year, an amount calculated as follows:

$$ \frac{A \times B}{C} $$

where:

  • $A =$ the number of Units held by the Unitholder at the end of the Distribution Period;
  • $B =$ an estimate of the distributable income for the Distribution Period (calculated as if the Distribution Period were a year of income); and
  • $C =$ the number of Units held by all Unitholders at the end of the Distribution period; and
  • $(b)$ in respect of a Distribution Period ending on 30 June in any year, an amount calculated as follows:

$A \times B$ C

where:

  • $A =$ the number of Units held by the Unitholder at the end of the Distribution Period;
  • $B =$ the amount (if any) by which the distributable income for the financial year exceeds the aggregate of the estimates of distributable income calculated for the purpose of variable B in clause $15.8(a)$ for the previous Distribution Periods of the financial year; and
  • $C =$ the number of Units held by all Unitholders at the end of the Distribution period.

15.9 Satisfaction of present entitlement

The present entitlement of a Unitholder to Income of the Trust for a financial year will be satisfied by the payment of the Income Distributions to the Unitholder in respect of the financial vear.

15.10 Other distributions

The Manager may at any time distribute any amount of capital or income to Unitholders, pro rata according to the number of Units held, at the time decided by the Manager. The distribution may be in cash, in specie or by way of additional Units.

The Manager may deduct from a Unitholder's Distribution:

  • the amount of any Taxes, fees and charges relating to the Unitholder or its investment in $(a)$ the Trust accrued for the relevant Distribution Period (or an amount the Manager reasonably decides); and

before paying the Unitholder's Distribution or reinvesting it to acquire Units.

15.12 Time for Distribution

Any Unitholder's Distribution the Manager decides to distribute to Unitholders must be distributed no later than the applicable Distribution Date.

15.13 Ranking for Distribution

  • Except where the rights attaching to a particular Class of Unit provide otherwise, all $(a)$ issued Units rank for Distributions equally.
  • Where an instalment of the Issue Price of a Partly Paid Unit is paid into the Trust Fund, $(b)$ the Unit ranks for a Distribution under the terms of issue of the Partly Paid Units.

15.14 Reinvestment

  • The Manager may decide to require Unitholders to reinvest some or all of any Distribution $(a)$ and if so, Unitholders are deemed, for the purposes of any relevant ASIC Exemption, to have elected to reinvest some or all of their Distributions (as the case may be).
  • $(b)$ A Unitholder may, if the Manager approves, elect to reinvest some or all of a Distribution by acquiring Units in the Trust and the amount of the Distribution must be applied on behalf of the Unitholder to acquire the additional Units in the Trust.
  • $(c)$ An application to reinvest Distributions under clauses 15.14(a) or 15.14(b) is taken to be received by the Manager on the first Business Day after the Distribution is paid, at an Issue Price calculated under clause 8.
  • $(d)$ Whilst Stapling applies, the Manager may only invite a Unitholder to reinvest its entitlement and be issued Units, which are in a class of Unit forming part of a Stapled Security, if there is also a corresponding issue of an equal number of Joined Securities to that Unitholder which, when issued, are then Stapled to such Units.

The procedure for reinvestment of Distributions is to be determined by the Manager and $(e)$ notified to Unitholders from time to time.

15.15 Interim Distribution

The Manager may at any time make an interim Distribution to Unitholders. If it does:

  • $(a)$ the Manager must specify a date as the Distribution Date; and

15.16 Distribution statements to be sent out

The Manager must report to Members concerning the affairs of the Trust and their respective Unit and Option holdings as required by the Applicable Standards. The form, content and timing of any report sent by the Manager to the Unitholders is (subject to the Applicable Standards) at the discretion of the Manager.

15.18 Distribution equalisation reserve

Subject to the Applicable Standards, the Manager may require the withholding from Distributions to Unitholders during any Distribution Period or month, financial year or any other period, an amount which the Manager considers is necessary to minimise variability in income Distributions over a Distribution Period, months, financial vears or any other period.

15.19 Distribution process

  • Any Distribution by the Manager under clause 15 may be by electronic funds transfer. $(a)$
  • $(b)$ Each Unitholder must provide to the Manager:

sufficient, accurate and current account information to enable the Manager to make Distributions by electronic funds transfer (Account Information).

15.20 Trust taxed as a company

If the Manager decides that the Trust may have a Tax liability under the Tax Act as if it were taxed as a company for a financial year, then clause 15.20 applies to the financial year in which case:

  • as soon as practicable after the end of each Distribution Period in the financial year, the $(a)$ Manager must decide:
    • $(i)$ if there is to be any Dividend Amount for the Distribution Period; and

  • $(b)$ the Manager may decide the extent to which the Dividend Amount (if any) comprises profits, retained profits, capital, returned capital or income of a particular character;
  • $(c)$ in calculating the Dividend Amount the Manager will take account of the amount of any Tax liability that is, or will become, payable by the Trust and the Manager is authorised to retain out of the Income of the Trust for that financial year the amount of that Tax liability.
  • $(d)$ at the end of the Distribution Period, a Unitholder is entitled to a Distribution Entitlement, calculated as follows:

AxB C

where:

  • $A =$ the number of Units held by the Unitholder at the end of the Distribution Period;
  • $B =$ the Dividend Amount (if any) for the Distribution Period;
  • $C =$ the number of Units held by all Unitholders at the end of the Distribution period;
  • $(e)$ Distribution Entitlements (if any) must be paid to Unitholders by the Distribution Date; and

  • a Unitholder must, if the Manager so determines, use a form of proxy to appoint the $(e)$ same proxy to vote on their behalf in respect of both a Unit and an Joined Security;
  • $(f)$ the Manager may arrange for meetings of Unitholders and meetings of unitholders of each other Stapled Entity to be held concurrently and may determine that a vote cast on

a resolution by or on behalf of a Unitholder is to be treated also as a vote cast for an equivalent number of that Unitholder's securities in each other Stapled Entity;

  • $(g)$ an amendment of this Constitution that directly affects the terms on which a Unit is held or removes any restriction on the transfer of a Stapled Security is of no effect unless the consent of the relevant Stapled Entity is obtained and the terms of the Joined Security are affected in the same way: and
