Dear Sir/Madam
Stockland Development Pty Limited as trustee for The Retirement Living Acquisition Trust ("Stockland") - Takeover bid for Aevum Limited ("Aevum")
We refer to Stockland's takeover offer for all of the shares in Aevum (the "Offer").
The Offer is scheduled to close at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 26 November 2010. As at the close of business on the business day prior to the date of this letter, Stockland had a relevant interest in 92.45% of the ordinary shares in Aevum. Stockland is therefore both entitled to proceed with compulsory acquisition of the remaining shares in Aevum pursuant to section 661A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cwith) ("Corporations Act") and required to offer to buy out remaining holders of Aevum shares pursuant to section 662A of the Corporations Act.
Accordingly we enclose:
- $(a)$ a copy of ASIC form 6021 (Notice of compulsory acquisition following takeover bid) (the "Notice") and an accompanying covering letter (the "Letter") to be sent to remaining shareholders of Aevum in accordance with section 661B(1)(d) of the Corporations Act; and
- $(b)$ a copy of ASIC form 6022 (Notice of right of buy-out to remaining holder of securities following a takeover bid) (the "Buy-Out Notice") in accordance with section 662B(1)(d) of the Corporations Act.
The Notice and the Buy-Out Notice were today lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission. The Notice and the Letter will be sent to those shareholders of Aevum who have not yet validly accepted the Offer. Copies of the Buy-Out Notice are not required to be given to any shareholders of Aevum in accordance with section $662B(1)(c)(ii)$ of the Corporations Act, as a result of the despatch of the Notice and the Letter.
Yours faithfully
PAM MM
Phillip Hepburn General Counsel and Group Secretary

Dear Aevum shareholder,
Our records, as at 12 November 2010, indicate you have not yet accepted Stockland's Offer to acquire your Aevum shares. The Offer is scheduled to close at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 26 November 2010.
Stockland now holds a relevant interest in over 92 per cent of Aevum's shares and as a result, is entitled under section 661A of the Corporations Act to compulsorily acquire any remaining shares not acquired under the Offer.
We attach a formal Notice of Compulsory Acquisition Following Takeover Bid to compulsorily acquire your Aevum shares for $1.77 cash per share (the "Notice"). The Notice was lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission and the Australian Securities Exchange on 15 November 2010.
You may still accept the Offer before 7.00pm 26 November 2010
Stockland has extended the Offer period to allow you the opportunity to accept the Offer before your shares are compulsorily acquired. If you accept the Offer prior to its scheduled close at 7.00pm on 26 November 2010, you will receive payment for your shares within three business days of receipt of your valid acceptance.
The Offer
Shareholders who accept Stockland's Offer will be paid $1.77 per Aevum share.
How to accept
To accept the Offer, please follow the instructions outlined on the Acceptance Form enclosed and included in your Bidder's Statement.
You may do nothing and your Aevum shares will be compulsorily acquired
If you do nothing and wait for your shares to be compulsorily acquired it may take over six weeks to receive payment. In due course, Aevum will send you a letter which will set out payment details of the cash consideration payable to you upon the acquisition of your Aeyum shares. Due to the length of time the legal process takes and therefore payment, there may be advantages if you accept the Offer by 7.00pm 26 November 2010.
Other rights
As well as providing formal notice of Stockland's intention to compulsorily acquire your Aevum shares, the Notice sets out certain rights available to you under the Corporations Act in response to the Notice and provides that your Aevum shares will be acquired by Stockland on the terms that applied immediately before the date of the Notice.
Please disregard this letter and the Notice if you have already accepted the Offer or otherwise disposed of all of your Aevum shares.
If you have any queries in relation to the Notice or this letter, please call the Offer information line on 1800 646 920 (callers in Australia) or +61 2 8280 7071 (callers outside Australia).
Yours sincerely.
