The effective date of the acquisition of the Property is the settlement date under the contract for sale,
which is scheduled for 21 August 2015.
There are no conditions precedent to the acquisition of the Property.

The purchase consideration and all transaction costs will be funded through the existing debt facility with
Westpac Banking Corporation. The Fund’s gearing post the acquisition of the Property will be 33%.
1.3. Rationale for acquisition of the Property
The acquisition of the Property is consistent with the Fund’s strategy of investing in well located, high
quality assets. The Responsible Entity is actively seeking opportunities to grow and diversify the Fund’s
asset base, enhance unitholder value and contribute to sustainable income growth. The acquisition of the
Property represents an attractive investment for the Fund for the following reasons:
(a) the Property is located in the premier industrial precinct south of the Brisbane CBD and is home to
tenants such as Woolworths, Toll, BP, Hafele and Toyota;
(b) the Property is conveniently located in close proximity to the Logan motorway which connects to
Pacific motorway, the main arterial road connecting Brisbane and the Gold Coast;
(c) the Property was constructed in 2009 to a very high standard;
(d) the Property is 100% leased to Coil Steels Pty Limited which is part of the Kanji Group, an
established family-run building materials business that owns several successful subsidiaries
across Australia including Metroll, Tasmania Mines, National Masonry and Pipemakers;
(e) the annual rent at the Property is AUD 141 per m² which is consistent with rents in the precinct;
(f) the lease expiry is 6.3 years and contracted annual rental growth is linked to CPI which has
averaged 2.64% over the past 10 years; and
(g) it is accretive based on the positive spread between the property yield and funding costs of 4.15%.
