Benefits to unitholders

1. the acquisition fits the Manager’s investment strategy

The Manager believes that the Acquisition at a property yield of approximately 5.9%(1) will be accretive and unitholders will enjoy a higher DPu due to the acquisition of Clarke Quay at a price reflective of the attractive cash flows that it generates. The overall yield accretion resulting from the Acquisition, combined with the proposed debt and/or equity financing plan, is illustrated below.

The overview section is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of this Circular.

Proposed acquisition of Clarke Quay

CMT is proposing to acquire Clarke Quay. On 9 February 2010, HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited, as trustee of CMT, entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement to acquire Clarke Quay, which includes the plant and equipment located at Clarke Quay, at the Purchase Consideration of S$268.0 million.

The total cost of the Acquisition, comprising the Purchase Consideration, the acquisition fee payable to the Manager, as well as the estimated professional and other fees and expenses incurred by CMT in connection with the Acquisition, is estimated to be approximately S$272.7 million.

Method of financing the acquisition

The Manager intends to adopt an optimal financing plan to finance the Acquisition, so as to ensure that the Acquisition will provide overall yield accretion to unitholders. Depending on the market conditions, the Manager may either fully fund the Acquisition through (i) debt financing or (ii) a combination of debt and equity financing.

Overview

forecast DPu (Cents)

assuming the acquisition is fully funded through 100.0% debt financing and CmT’s aggregate leverage is increased to approximately 33.1%

assuming the acquisition is fully funded through a combination of 50.0% debt financing and 50.0% equity financing, at an issue price of s$1.70 per new unit and CmT’s aggregate leverage is increased to approximately 31.3%

The Acquisition is in line with the Manager’s principal investment strategy to invest in quality income-producing real estate and real estate assets so as to deliver stable distributions and sustainable total returns to unitholders.

The Acquisition will also further strengthen CMT’s position as the largest REIT by asset size in Singapore. Following the completion of the Acquisition, the CMT Group’s asset size is expected to increase from approximately S$7.4 billion (as at 31 December 2009) to approximately S$7.6 billion(2).

notes:(1) The property yield is computed by dividing Clarke Quay’s

annualised Net Property Income for the Forecast Period 2010 by the Purchase Consideration of S$268.0 million.

(2) The asset size excludes CMT’s distributable income for the quarter ended 31 December 2009.

2. Competitive strengths of Clarke Quay

The Manager believes that Clarke Quay is a popular destination among Singapore residents, expatriates and tourists, as evidenced by its shopper traffic which held up well despite the economic downturn with approximately 11.0 million visitors in 2009, compared to approximately 10.8 million visitors in 2008. The committed occupancy of Clarke Quay as at 31 December 2009 is 94.9% and has been above 90.0% for the past three years following the completion of the repositioning of Clarke Quay in December 2006.

3. segmental Diversification

The Manager believes that the competitive strengths of Clarke Quay will allow CMT to capitalise on the growing lifestyle and entertainment demand in Singapore arising from (i) the expected increase in tourism in Singapore and (ii) the economic recovery and improvement in consumer sentiment. The Acquisition will not significantly change the asset profile of the CMT Group as its Enlarged Properties continue to comprise primarily of retail malls which cater to necessity shopping.

notes: (1) Excludes The Atrium@Orchard which consists primarily of office

space and Jurong Entertainment Centre which has ceased operations in preparation for asset enhancement works.

(2) Based on gross revenue for FY2009.(3) Based on gross revenue for FY2009, except for Clarke Quay which

is based on Clarke Quay’s annualised gross revenue for the Forecast Period 2010.

(4) Comprises Tampines Mall, Junction 8, IMM Building, Plaza Singapura, Bugis Junction, Hougang Plaza, Sembawang Shopping Centre, Lot One Shoppers’ Mall, Bukit Panjang Plaza and Rivervale Mall.

(5) Comprises Raffles City Singapore (40.00% interest) and Funan DigitaLife Mall for the Existing Properties. Comprises Raffles City Singapore (40.00% interest), Funan DigitaLife Mall and Clarke Quay for the Enlarged Properties.

The Acquisition will enlarge and diversify CMT’s network of retailers across the different segments of the retail market, and concurrently strengthen CMT’s portfolio of retail malls catering to the different consumer markets in Singapore and allow CMT to capitalise on the expected increase in tourism in Singapore.

4. enhancement of rental revenue

The Manager believes the Acquisition will provide potential for rental upside when leases become due for renewal in the next few years given the growth potential in the Singapore retail, entertainment and tourism market. In addition, the Manager believes that there are opportunities to enhance the rental revenue of Clarke Quay through reconfiguration of lettable area and improvement of the existing tenant mix.

5. income Diversification

The Acquisition is expected to benefit unitholders by improving income diversification and reducing the reliance of the CMT Group’s income stream on any single property. The Manager expects that the maximum contribution to the CMT Group’s Net Property Income by any single property within the CMT Group’s property portfolio will decrease from approximately 15.0% to approximately 14.4% following the Acquisition.

SUMMARY

The following summary is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the full textof this Circular. Meanings of defined terms may be found in the Glossary on pages 25 to 29 of thisCircular.

Any discrepancies in the tables included herein between the listed amounts and totals thereof are dueto rounding.

THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF CLARKE QUAY (ORDINARY RESOLUTION)

The Manager seeks approval from the unitholders of CMT (“Unitholders”) for the proposed acquisitionof Clarke Quay which is located at River Valley Road (“Clarke Quay”, and the proposed acquisition ofClarke Quay, the “Acquisition”) at a purchase consideration of S$268.0 million (the “PurchaseConsideration”).

Clarke Quay is an integrated food and beverage, entertainment and lifestyle riverfront destination. It islocated along the Singapore River and at the fringe of Singapore’s Central Business District (“CBD”).It is within walking distance of the Clarke Quay mass rapid transit (“MRT”) station, making it easilyaccessible by public transportation. Clarke Quay has a net lettable area (“NLA”) of approximately294,610 square feet (“sq ft”) as at 31 December 2009.

On 9 February 2010, the Trustee entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement (the “Saleand Purchase Agreement”) with Clarke Quay Pte Ltd (the “Vendor”) to acquire Clarke Quay (whichincludes the plant and equipment located at Clarke Quay) at the Purchase Consideration of S$268.0million.

The Purchase Consideration was arrived at on a willing-buyer and willing-seller basis after taking intoaccount the independent valuations of Clarke Quay. The Manager has commissioned an independentproperty valuer, CB Richard Ellis (Pte) Ltd (“CBRE”), and the Trustee has commissioned anindependent property valuer, Knight Frank Pte Ltd (“Knight Frank”, together with CBRE, the“Independent Valuers”), to value Clarke Quay. CBRE, in its report dated 3 February 2010, stated thatthe open market value of Clarke Quay is S$270.0 million and Knight Frank, in its report dated 3February 2010, stated that the open market value of Clarke Quay is S$268.0 million.

The total cost of the Acquisition (the “Total Acquisition Cost”) is currently estimated to beapproximately S$272.7 million, comprising:

(i) the Purchase Consideration of S$268.0 million;

(ii) the acquisition fee payable to the Manager for the Acquisition (the “Acquisition Fee”) whichamounts to approximately S$2.7 million; and

(iii) the estimated professional and other fees and expenses incurred by CMT in connection with theAcquisition which amount to approximately S$2.0 million.

As the Acquisition will constitute an “interested party transaction” under the Property Funds Appendixin Appendix 2 of the Code on Collective Investment Schemes (the “Property Funds Appendix”) issuedby the Monetary Authority of Singapore (the “MAS”), the Acquisition Fee will be in the form of units inCMT (“Units”), which shall not be sold within one year from the date of issuance.

Interested Person Transaction and Interested Party Transaction in connection with theAcquisition

As at 18 March 2010, being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this Circular (the “LatestPracticable Date”), CapitaMalls Asia Limited (“CMA”) held an aggregate indirect interest in950,077,146 Units, which is equivalent to approximately 29.87% of the total number of Units then inissue (“Existing Units”), and is therefore regarded as a “controlling Unitholder” of CMT under both theListing Manual of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”, and the ListingManual of the SGX-ST, the “Listing Manual”) and the Property Funds Appendix1. In addition, as theManager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMA, CMA is therefore regarded as a “controllingshareholder” of the Manager under both the Listing Manual and the Property Funds Appendix.

As the Vendor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMA, for the purposes of Chapter 9 of the Listing Manualand the Property Funds Appendix, the Vendor (being a subsidiary of a “controlling Unitholder” and a“controlling shareholder” of the Manager) is (for the purposes of the Listing Manual) an “interestedperson” and (for the purposes of the Property Funds Appendix) an “interested party” of CMT.

Therefore, the Acquisition will constitute an “interested person transaction” under Chapter 9 of theListing Manual as well as an “interested party transaction” under the Property Funds Appendix, inrespect of which the approval of Unitholders is required.

(See paragraph 3.3 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details.)

Rationale for the Proposed Acquisition

The Acquisition fits the Manager’s Investment Strategy

The Manager believes that the Acquisition at a property yield of approximately 5.9%2 will be accretiveand Unitholders will enjoy a higher distribution per Unit (“DPU”) due to the acquisition of Clarke Quayat a price reflective of the attractive cash flows that it generates as described in this Circular. (Seeparagraph 2.1 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details regarding the yield accretion resulting fromthe Acquisition.)

The Acquisition is in line with the Manager’s principal investment strategy to invest in qualityincome-producing real estate and real estate assets so as to deliver stable distributions andsustainable total returns to Unitholders. (See paragraph 3 of the Letter to Unitholders for further detailsregarding the financial impact of the Acquisition.)

The Acquisition will also further strengthen CMT’s position as the largest real estate investment trust(“REIT”) by asset size in Singapore. Following the completion of the Acquisition, the CMT Group’s3

asset size is expected to increase from approximately S$7.4 billion (as at 31 December 2009) toapproximately S$7.6 billion4.

1 The Manager has on 18 March 2010 disposed 1,000,000 Units. It should be noted that the Register of Unitholdings wouldnot at the Latest Practicable Date reflect this disposal of Units by the Manager as the disposal is conditional upon completionof settlement. However, for good corporate governance, the unitholdings of CapitaLand Limited and CMA in this Circularreflects this disposal of Units by the Manager.

2 The property yield is computed by dividing Clarke Quay’s annualised Net Property Income (as defined herein) for theForecast Period 2010 (as defined herein) by the Purchase Consideration of S$268.0 million.

3 “CMT Group” means CMT and its subsidiaries.

4 The asset size excludes CMT’s distributable income for the quarter ended 31 December 2009.

Competitive Strengths of Clarke Quay

Clarke Quay, which is located along the Singapore River and at the fringe of the CBD, is positioned asan integrated food and beverage, entertainment and lifestyle riverfront destination. It is also withinwalking distance of the Clarke Quay MRT station, making it easily accessible by public transportation.

The Manager believes that Clarke Quay is a popular destination among Singapore residents,expatriates and tourists, as evidenced by its shopper traffic which held up well despite the economicdownturn with approximately 11.0 million visitors in 2009, compared to approximately 10.8 millionvisitors in 2008. The committed occupancy of Clarke Quay as at 31 December 2009 is 94.9% and hasbeen above 90.0% for the past three years following the completion of the repositioning of Clarke Quayin December 2006.

Segmental Diversification

The Manager believes that as a result of the competitive strengths of Clarke Quay, CMT will be ableto capitalise on the growing lifestyle and entertainment demand in Singapore arising from (i) theexpected increase in tourism in Singapore (by catering to the increasing tenancy demands arising fromthe Singapore Government’s commitment to grow the tourism industry and the rejuvenation plan for thecity centre area) and (ii) the economic recovery and improvement in consumer sentiment.

The Acquisition will not significantly change the asset profile of the CMT Group as its enlarged portfolioof properties (the “Enlarged Properties”) continues to comprise primarily of retail malls which cater tonecessity shopping.

The Acquisition will enlarge and diversify CMT’s network of retailers across the different segments ofthe retail market, and concurrently strengthen CMT’s portfolio of retail malls catering to the differentconsumer markets in Singapore and allow CMT to capitalise on the expected increase in tourism inSingapore.

Enhancement of Rental Revenue

The Manager believes that there is potential for rental upside when leases become due for renewal inthe next few years given the growth potential in the Singapore retail, entertainment and tourism market.In addition, the Manager believes that there are opportunities to enhance the rental revenue of ClarkeQuay through reconfiguration of lettable area and improvement of the existing tenant mix.

Income Diversification

The Acquisition is expected to benefit Unitholders by improving income diversification and reducing thereliance of CMT Group’s income stream on any single property. The Manager expects that themaximum contribution to CMT Group’s Net Property Income by any single property within the CMTGroup’s property portfolio will decrease from approximately 15.0% to approximately 14.4% followingthe Acquisition.

(See paragraph 2 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details.)

Method of Financing the Acquisition

The Manager intends to adopt an optimal financing plan to finance the Acquisition, so as to ensure thatthe Acquisition will provide overall yield accretion to Unitholders. Depending on the market conditions,the Manager may either fully fund the Acquisition through (i) debt financing or (ii) a combination of debtand equity financing. The current intention of the Manager is that it is unlikely that the Acquisition willbe fully funded through 100.0% equity financing given that the CMT Group’s Aggregate Leverage1 is30.5% (as at 31 December 2009). (See paragraph 4 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details.)

The table below sets out the change to the CMT Group’s Aggregate Leverage through two differentfunding scenarios purely for illustrative purposes. There is no assurance that the actual financing planwill be similar to either Scenario A or Scenario B.

The current intention of the Manager is that it is unlikely that the Acquisition will be fully fundedthrough 100.0% equity financing given that the CMT Group’s Aggregate Leverage is 30.5% (as at31 December 2009).

The forecast on the tables below must be read together with the detailed Profit Forecast inAppendix B of this Circular, and the Independent Accountants’ Report on the Profit Forecast inAppendix C of this Circular.

2.2 Competitive Strengths of Clarke Quay

Clarke Quay, which is located along the Singapore River and at the fringe of the CBD, ispositioned as an integrated food and beverage, entertainment and lifestyle riverfront destination.It is also within walking distance of the Clarke Quay MRT station, making it easily accessible bypublic transportation.

The Manager believes that Clarke Quay is a popular destination among Singapore residents,expatriates and tourists, as evidenced by its shopper traffic which held up well despite theeconomic downturn with approximately 11.0 million visitors in 2009, compared to approximately10.8 million visitors in 2008 — see chart below. Based on an independent survey commissionedby the Vendor, more than 40.0% of visitors to Clarke Quay are tourists. The committed occupancyof Clarke Quay as at 31 December 2009 is 94.9% and has been above 90.0% for the past threeyears following the completion of the repositioning of Clarke Quay in December 2006.

(See Appendix A of this Circular for more details about Clarke Quay and the Existing Properties(as defined herein).)

2.3 Segmental Diversification

The Manager believes that as a result of the competitive strengths of Clarke Quay, CMT will beable to capitalise on the growing lifestyle and entertainment demand in Singapore arising from:

(i) the expected increase in tourism in Singapore (by catering to the increasing tenancydemands arising from the Singapore Government’s commitment to grow the tourism industryand the rejuvenation plan for the city centre area) — the Singapore Tourism Board has on5 March 2010 announced that its forecast for tourist arrivals to Singapore in 2010 is between11.5 million to 12.5 million tourist arrivals1. There were 9.7 million tourist arrivals toSingapore in 20091; and

While the Manager has taken reasonable action to ensure that thisinformation has been reproduced in its proper form and context, and that it has been extracted accurately and fairly, neitherthe Manager nor any other party has conducted an independent review of, nor verified the accuracy of, such information.

(ii) the economic recovery and improvement in consumer sentiment — the Ministry of Trade andIndustry announced on 19 February 2010 that it expects the Singapore economy to grow by4.5% to 6.5% in 2010, being an upgrade from its earlier forecast of 3.0% to 5.0%1.

The Acquisition will not significantly change the asset profile of the CMT Group as its EnlargedProperties continue to comprise primarily of retail malls which cater to necessity shopping.

2.4 Enhancement of Rental Revenue

When the repositioning of Clarke Quay was completed in December 2006, some leases wereentered into at below market rent due to the lack of an established track record of operations then.Recent lease renewals at Clarke Quay have achieved rental increase over the preceding rents.

As at 31 December 2009, the average monthly gross rental rate of Clarke Quay is approximatelyS$6.98 per sq ft. The Manager believes that there is potential for rental upside when leasesbecome due for renewal in the next few years given the growth potential in the Singapore retail,entertainment and tourism market. In addition, the Manager believes that there are opportunitiesto enhance the rental revenue of Clarke Quay through reconfiguration of lettable area andimprovement of the existing tenant mix.

2.5 Income Diversification

The Acquisition is expected to benefit Unitholders by improving income diversification andreducing the reliance of the CMT Group’s income stream on any single property.

3.3 Requirement of Unitholders’ Approval: Interested Person Transaction and Interested PartyTransaction

Under Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual, where CMT proposes to enter into a transaction with aninterested person and the value of the transaction (either in itself or when aggregated with thevalue of other transactions, each of a value equal to or greater than S$100,000, with the sameinterested person during the same financial year) is equal to or exceeds 5.0% of the CMT Group’slatest audited net tangible assets (“NTA”), Unitholders’ approval is required in respect of thetransaction. Based on the CMT Group Audited Financial Statements, the NTA of the CMT Groupwas S$4,969.6 million as at 31 December 2009. Accordingly, if the value of a transaction whichis proposed to be entered into in the current financial year by CMT with an interested person is,either in itself or in aggregation with all other earlier transactions (each of a value equal to orgreater than S$100,000) entered into with the same interested person during the current financialyear, equal to or in excess of S$248.5 million, such a transaction would be subject to Unitholders’approval. Given the Purchase Consideration of S$268.0 million (which is 5.4% of the NTA of theCMT Group as at 31 December 2009), the value of the Acquisition exceeds the said threshold.

Paragraph 5 of the Property Funds Appendix also imposes a requirement for Unitholders’approval for an interested party transaction by CMT whose value exceeds 5.0% of the CMT

15

Page 24: Ca CirCular DateD 24 MarCh 2010 This CirCular is imporTanT ...cmt.listedcompany.com/newsroom/20100324_072609_C38... · 3/24/2010  · CMT is proposing to acquire Clarke Quay. On 9

Group’s latest audited NAV. Based on the CMT Group Audited Financial Statements, the NAV ofCMT was S$4,969.6 million as at 31 December 2009. Accordingly, if the value of a transactionwhich is proposed to be entered into by CMT with an interested party is equal to or greater thanS$248.5 million, such a transaction would be subject to Unitholders’ approval. Given the PurchaseConsideration of S$268.0 million, the value of the Acquisition exceeds the said threshold.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, CMA held an aggregate indirect interest in 950,077,146 Units,which is equivalent to approximately 29.87% of the total number of Units in issue, as at the LatestPracticable Date, and is therefore regarded as a “controlling Unitholder” of CMT under both theListing Manual and the Property Funds Appendix1. In addition, as the Manager is a wholly-ownedsubsidiary of CMA, CMA is therefore regarded as a “controlling shareholder” of the Managerunder both the Listing Manual and the Property Funds Appendix.

As the Vendor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMA, for the purposes of Chapter 9 of the ListingManual and the Property Funds Appendix, the Vendor (being a subsidiary of a “controllingUnitholder” and a “controlling shareholder” of the Manager) is (for the purposes of the ListingManual) an “interested person” and (for the purposes of the Property Funds Appendix) an“interested party” of CMT.

Therefore, the Acquisition will constitute “interested person transactions” under Chapter 9 of theListing Manual as well as “interested party transactions” under the Property Funds Appendix.

Prior to the Latest Practicable Date, CMT had entered into several interested person transactionswith entities within Temasek Holdings (Private) Limited and its subsidiaries and associates duringthe course of the current financial year (the “Existing Interested Person Transactions”). Detailsof the Existing Interested Person Transactions, which are subject of aggregation pursuant to Rule906 of the Listing Manual, may be found in Appendix F of this Circular.

3.4 Advice of the Independent Financial Adviser

The Manager has appointed ANZ Singapore Limited as the IFA to advise the independentdirectors of the Manager (the “Independent Directors”) and the audit committee of the Manager(the “Audit Committee”) in relation to the Acquisition. A copy of the letter from the IFA to theIndependent Directors and members of the Audit Committee (the “IFA Letter”), containing itsadvice in full, is set out in Appendix E of this Circular and Unitholders are advised to read the IFALetter carefully.

Having considered the factors and the assumptions set out in the IFA Letter, and subject to thequalifications set out therein, the IFA is of the opinion that from a financial point of view theAcquisition is based on normal commercial terms and is not prejudicial to the interests of CMT andits minority Unitholders.

The IFA is of the opinion that the Independent Directors can recommend that Unitholders vote infavour of the resolution in connection with the Acquisition to be proposed at the EGM.

3.5 Interests of Directors and Controlling Unitholders

As at the Latest Practicable Date, certain directors of CMA collectively hold an aggregate directand indirect interest in 2,314,398 Units and certain directors of the Manager (including those ofthe aforementioned directors of CMA who are also directors of the Manager) collectively hold anaggregate direct and indirect interest in (i) 2,796,098 Units and (ii) 1,149,000 shares in CMA.

Depending on the marketconditions, the Manager may either fully fund the Acquisition through (i) debt financing or (ii) acombination of debt and equity financing. The current intention of the Manager is that it is unlikelythat the Acquisition will be fully funded through 100.0% equity financing given that the CMTGroup’s Aggregate Leverage is 30.5% (as at 31 December 2009).

The table below sets out the change to the CMT Group’s Aggregate Leverage1 through twodifferent funding scenarios purely for illustrative purposes. There is no assurance that the actualfinancing plan will be similar to either Scenario A or Scenario B.

CMT Group’s Aggregate Leverage

Method of Financing Scenario A:100.0% Debt Financing

Scenario B:50.0% Debt Financing and

50.0% Equity Financing

Before the Acquisition(1) 30.5% 30.5%

After the Acquisition(2) 33.1% 31.3%

Notes:

(1) As at 31 December 2009.

(2) Based on the assumption that the Acquisition was completed on 31 December 2009.

4.2 Corporate Rating

CMT is currently rated “A2” by Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”)2, the highest corporaterating assigned to a REIT in Singapore which reflects the CMT Group’s strong leadership andfranchise value which are supported by strong recurring income, quality assets with good tenantdiversification, and a track record in asset enhancement and tenant management.

The Property Funds Appendix also provides that the Aggregate Leverage of the CMT Group mayexceed 35.0% of the value of the Deposited Property (up to a maximum of 60.0%) if a credit ratingof the REIT from Fitch, Inc., Moody’s or Standard & Poor’s is obtained and disclosed to the public.

4.3 Profit Forecast

Based on the proposed financing plan described under paragraph 4.1, the tables on the followingpages summarise the CMT Group’s forecast consolidated statements of total return anddistributable income of the Enlarged Portfolio for the Forecast Period 2010 based on the followingcircumstances:

(i) Scenario A: where the Acquisition is fully funded through 100.0% debt financing; and

(ii) Scenario B: where the Acquisition is fully funded through a combination of 50.0% debtfinancing and 50.0% equity financing.

The current intention of the Manager is that it is unlikely that the Acquisition will be fully fundedthrough 100.0% equity financing given that the CMT Group’s Aggregate Leverage is 30.5% (as at31 December 2009). There is no assurance that the actual financing plan will be similar to eitherScenario A or Scenario B.

1 The ratio of the value of borrowings and deferred payments (if any) to the value of the Deposited Property.

2 Based on Moody’s affirmation on 10 February 2009. Moody’s has also on 10 February 2009 affirmed that its outlook for CMTremains negative.

In the preparation of the above forecast consolidated statements of total return and distributableincome, specific non-cash items which have no impact on distributable income have beenexcluded in the presentation of the distributable income to Unitholders. The Profit Forecast is setout in Appendix B in this Circular.

The above forecast consolidated statements of total return and distributable income must be readtogether with the detailed Profit Forecast in Appendix B of this Circular, and the IndependentAccountants’ Report on the Profit Forecast in Appendix C of this Circular.

5. RECOMMENDATION

Based on the opinion of the IFA (as set out in the IFA Letter in Appendix E of this Circular) andthe rationale for the Acquisition as set out in paragraph 2 above, the Independent Directors1

believe that the Acquisition would not be prejudicial to the interests of CMT and its minorityUnitholders.

Accordingly, the Independent Directors recommend that Unitholders vote at the EGM in favour ofthe resolution to approve the Acquisition.

6. EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

The EGM will be held on Wednesday, 14 April 2010 at 10.30 a.m. (or as soon thereafter as theAnnual General Meeting of CMT to be held at 10.00 a.m. on the same day and at the same placeis concluded or adjourned) at the STI Auditorium, 168 Robinson Road, Level 9, Capital Tower,Singapore 068912, for the purpose of considering and, if thought fit, passing with or withoutmodification, the resolution set out in the Notice of EGM, which is set out on page H-1 of thisCircular. The purpose of this Circular is to provide Unitholders with relevant information about theresolution. Approval by way of an Ordinary Resolution (as defined herein) is required in respectof the resolution.

A Depositor shall not be regarded as a Unitholder entitled to attend the EGM and to speak andvote thereat unless he is shown to have Units entered against his name in the DepositoryRegister, as certified by The Central Depository (Pte) Limited (“CDP”) as at 48 hours before thetime fixed for the EGM.

7. ABSTENTIONS FROM VOTING

7.1 Relationship between CMA, Albert Complex, Pyramex, Premier and the Manager

Through Albert Complex, Pyramex, Premier and the Manager, CMA has an indirect interest in950,077,146 Units, comprising approximately 29.87% of the total number of Units in issue, as atthe Latest Practicable Date. The Manager itself holds 37,659,996 Units2.

7.2 Abstain from Voting

Given that Clarke Quay will be acquired from a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMA, CMA, AlbertComplex, Pyramex and Premier will abstain from voting at the EGM on the resolution relating tothe Acquisition. Being a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMA, the Manager will also abstain fromvoting on such resolution.

1 For good corporate governance, Mr James Koh Cher Siang abstained from taking part in any decisions or recommendationsrelating to the Acquisition as he is a director of CapitaLand Limited, which is a substantial shareholder of CMA.

2 The Manager has on 18 March 2010 disposed 1,000,000 Units. It should be noted that the Register of Unitholdings wouldnot at the Latest Practicable Date reflect this disposal of Units by the Manager as the disposal is conditional upon completionof settlement. However, for good corporate governance, the unitholdings of CapitaLand Limited and CMA in this Circularreflects this disposal of Units by the Manager.

Thecompletion and return of the Proxy Form by a Unitholder will not prevent him from attending andvoting in person at the EGM if he so wishes.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The value of Units and the income derived from them may fall as well as rise. Units are not obligationsof, deposits in, or guaranteed by, the Manager or any of its affiliates. An investment in Units is subjectto investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Investors have no right to request the Manager to redeem their Units while the Units are listed. It isintended that Unitholders may only deal in their Units through trading on the SGX-ST. Listing of theUnits on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units.

The past performance of CMT is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of CMT.

This Circular may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual futureperformance, outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-lookingstatements as a result of a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Representative examplesof these factors include (without limitation) general industry and economic conditions, interest ratetrends, cost of capital and capital availability, competition from similar developments, shifts in expectedlevels of property rental income, changes in operating expenses (including employee wages, benefitsand training costs), property expenses and governmental and public policy changes. You are cautionednot to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on the Manager’scurrent view of future events. All forecasts are based on a specified range of issue prices per Unit andon the Manager’s assumptions as explained in Appendix B of this Circular. Such yields will varyaccordingly for investors who purchase Units in the secondary market at a market price higher or lowerthan the issue price range specified in this Circular. The major assumptions are certain expected levelsof property income and property expenses over the relevant periods, which are considered by theManager to be appropriate and reasonable as at the date of this Circular. The forecast financialperformance of CMT is not guaranteed and there is no certainty that it can be achieved. Investorsshould read the whole of this Circular for details of the forecasts and consider the assumptions usedand make their own assessment of the future performance of CMT.

If a committed leaseexpires in the period between 1 January 2010 and 31 December 2010, the rental rate fora new lease (or a lease renewal) which commences in the period between 1 January 2010and 31 December 2010 is assumed to be the market rent.

(b) Lease Renewals and Vacancy Allowances

For leases under the Existing Properties expiring between 1 January 2010 and 31December 2010, where the actual vacancy periods are already known pursuant tocommitments or preliminary indication by the tenants to leases which are in place as at 31December 2009, the actual vacancy periods have been used in the forecast.

INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REPORT ON THE PROFIT FORECAST

Dear Sirs

Letter from the Independent Accountants on the Profit Forecast of CapitaMall Trust and itssubsidiaries (“CMT Group”)

This letter has been prepared for inclusion in the unitholders’ circular to be issued (the “Circular”) byCapitaMall Trust Management Limited (“CMTML”) in relation to the proposed acquisition of ClarkeQuay.

The directors of CMTML (the “Directors”) are responsible for the preparation and presentation of theforecast consolidated Statements of Total Return and Distributable Income of the Existing Portfolio forthe period from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010 and the Enlarged Portfolio for the period from1 July 2010 to 31 December 2010, (together the “Profit Forecast”) as set out on pages B-2 to B-3 of theCircular, which have been prepared on the basis of the assumptions as set out on pages B-4 to B-13of the Circular (the “Assumptions”).

We have examined the Profit Forecast of CMT Group as set out on pages B-2 to B-3 of the Circular inaccordance with Singapore Standard on Assurance Engagements applicable to the examination ofprospective financial information. The Directors are solely responsible for the Profit Forecast includingthe Assumptions on which it is based.

Based on our examination of the evidence supporting the Assumptions, nothing has come to ourattention which causes us to believe that the Assumptions do not provide a reasonable basis for theProfit Forecast. Further, in our opinion the Profit Forecast, so far as the accounting policies andcalculations are concerned, is properly prepared on the basis of the Assumptions, is consistent with theaccounting policies normally adopted by CMT Group and is presented in accordance with the relevantpresentation principles of Recommended Accounting Practice 7 “Reporting Framework for Unit Trusts”(but not all the required disclosures for the purposes of this letter) issued by the Institute of CertifiedPublic Accountants of Singapore, which is the framework adopted by CMT Group in the preparation ofits financial statements.

Events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Even if the events anticipated underthe hypothetical assumptions described above occur, actual results are still likely to be different fromthe Profit Forecast since other anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the variationmay be material. The actual results may therefore differ materially from the Profit Forecast. For thereasons set out above, we do not express any opinion as to the possibility of achievement of the ProfitForecast.

Attention is drawn, in particular, to the sensitivity analysis of the Profit Forecast as set out on pagesB-14 to B-15 of the Circular.

The Independent Directors and Audit Committee ofCapitaMall Trust Management Limited (as Manager of CapitaMall Trust)39 Robinson Road#18-01 Robinson PointSingapore 068911

Dear Sirs

THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF CLARKE QUAY

For the purpose of this letter, capitalised terms not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given tothem in the circular dated 24 March 2010 to the Unitholders of CapitaMall Trust (the “Circular”).

1. INTRODUCTION

The Manager seeks approval from the unitholders of CMT (“Unitholders”) for the proposedacquisition of Clarke Quay which is located at River Valley Road (“Clarke Quay”, and theproposed acquisition of Clarke Quay, the “Acquisition”) at a purchase consideration of S$268.0million (the “Purchase Consideration”).

Clarke Quay is an integrated food and beverage, entertainment and lifestyle riverfront destination.It is located along the Singapore River, and at the fringe of Singapore’s Central Business District(“CBD”). It is within walking distance of the Clarke Quay mass rapid transit (“MRT”) station,making it easily accessible by public transportation. Clarke Quay has a net lettable area (“NLA”)of approximately 294,610 square feet (“sq ft”) as at 31 December 2009.

On 9 February 2010, the Trustee entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement (the“Sale and Purchase Agreement”) with Clarke Quay Pte Ltd (the “Vendor”) to acquire ClarkeQuay (which includes the plant and equipment located at Clarke Quay) at the PurchaseConsideration of S$268.0 million.

The Purchase Consideration was arrived at on a willing-buyer and willing-seller basis after takinginto account the independent valuations of Clarke Quay. The Manager has commissioned anindependent property valuer, CB Richard Ellis (Pte) Ltd (“CBRE”), and the Trustee hascommissioned an independent property valuer, Knight Frank Pte Ltd (“Knight Frank”, togetherwith CBRE, the “Independent Valuers”), to value Clarke Quay. CBRE, in its report dated3 February 2010, stated that the open market value of Clarke Quay is S$270.0 million and KnightFrank, in its report dated 3 February 2010, stated that the open market value of Clarke Quay isS$268.0 million.

As at 18 March 2010, being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this Circular (the“Latest Practicable Date”), CapitaMalls Asia Limited (“CMA”) held an aggregate indirect interestin 950,077,146 Units, which is equivalent to approximately 29.87% of the total number of Unitsthen in issue (“Existing Units”), and is therefore regarded as a “controlling Unitholder” of CMTunder both the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST (the “Listing Manual”) and the Property FundsAppendix1. In addition, as the Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMA, CMA is regarded asa “controlling shareholder” of the Manager under both the Listing Manual and the Property FundsAppendix.

As the Vendor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CMA, for the purposes of Chapter 9 of the ListingManual and the Property Funds Appendix, the Vendor (being a subsidiary of a “controllingUnitholder” and a “controlling shareholder” of the Manager) is (for the purposes of the ListingManual) an “interested person” and (for the purposes of the Property Funds Appendix) an“interested party” of CMT.

Therefore, the Acquisition will constitute an “interested person transaction” under Chapter 9 of theListing Manual as well as an “interested party transaction” under the Property Funds Appendix, inrespect of which the approval of Unitholders is required.

Please refer to paragraph 3.3 of the Letter to Unitholders in the Circular for further details.

This letter sets out, inter alia, our opinion, from a financial point of view, on whether the proposedAcquisition is on normal commercial terms and is not prejudicial to the interests of CMT and itsminority Unitholders.

We note that the Acquisition is “in line with the Manager’s principal investment strategy to investin quality income-producing real estate and real estate assets so as to deliver stable distributionsand sustainable total returns to Unitholders”.

6. VALUATION REPORTS

We believe that the most appropriate valuation methodology for evaluating the Acquisition is theasset-based valuation method. This valuation method will involve establishing the open marketvalue of Clarke Quay.

Purchase Consideration for the Acquisition

The Purchase Consideration of S$268.0 million was arrived at on a willing-buyer and willing-sellerbasis after taking into account the independent valuations of Clarke Quay.

The Manager has commissioned an independent property valuer, CBRE and the Trustee hascommissioned an independent property valuer, Knight Frank to value Clarke Quay. CBRE, in itsreport dated 3 February 2010, stated that the open market value of Clarke Quay is S$270.0 millionand Knight Frank, in its report dated 3 February 2010, stated that the open market value of ClarkeQuay is S$268.0 million.

Clarke Quay

Clarke Quay, which is zoned as a commercial development within a conservation area, is anintegrated food and beverage, entertainment and lifestyle riverfront destination. It is located alongthe Singapore River and at the fringe of the CBD. It is within walking distance of the Clarke QuayMRT station, making it easily accessible by public transportation. We have been advised ClarkeQuay has a NLA of approximately 294,610 sq ft and has a committed occupancy rate of 94.9%as at 31 December 2009.

Please refer to Appendix A of the Circular for further details about Clarke Quay.

7. EARNINGS-BASED VALUATION METHODOLOGY

Valuation Methodology

In addition to the asset-based valuation methodology, we have considered an earnings-basedvaluation methodology to assess the Acquisition. This valuation method is relevant as ClarkeQuay is made up of income-generating properties, and the property yield can be benchmarkedagainst the property yields of similar properties.

In our evaluation of the Purchase Consideration for the Acquisition, we have taken into accountthe following relevant considerations:

(i) the valuation from the professional valuation of Clarke Quay carried out by the IndependentValuers;

(ii) property yield generated by Clarke Quay compared with property yields generated frombroadly comparable retail real estate in Singapore;

(iii) the occupancy levels achieved by Clarke Quay;

(iv) the pro forma financial effects of the Acquisition; and

(v) other considerations.

(I) Valuation of Clarke Quay

The valuation methodologies applied by the Independent Valuers included capitalisationapproach, investment and discounted cashflow methods.

The valuations were based on the open market value of Clarke Quay, which is defined byKnight Frank as “the best price at which the sale of an interest in property might reasonablybe expected to have been completed unconditionally for cash consideration on the date ofvaluation, assuming:

(a) a willing, but not anxious, buyer and seller;

(b) that prior to the date of valuation there had been a reasonable period (having regardto the nature of the property and the state of the market), for the proper marketing ofthe interest, for the agreement of price and terms and for the completion of the sale;

(c) that the state of the market, level of values and other circumstances were, on anyearlier assumed date of exchange of contracts, the same as on the date of valuation;and

(d) that no account is taken of any additional bid by a purchaser with a ‘special interest’.”

Please refer to Appendix D of the Circular for the Valuation Certificates.

We note that the Purchase Consideration of S$268.0 million is equivalent to Knight Frank’sopen market property valuation of S$268.0 million, and 0.74% lower than CBRE’s openmarket property valuation of S$270.0 million.

(II) Property Yield

We have examined the property yield generated by Clarke Quay compared to the propertyyields generated from broadly comparable retail real estate in Singapore and the estimatedentry yield of recent market transactions involving retail real estate in Singapore.

The following table presents, in summary, certain selected financial information in relation tothe Acquisition, based on the assumption that the Acquisition is to be completed on 1 July2010 and the income from Clarke Quay accrues to the CMT Group from 1 July 2010.

Forecast Period 2010(1 July 2010 to 31 December 2010)

Gross Revenue (S$’000) 14,550

Property Operating Expenses (S$’000) 6,583

Net Property Income (S$’000) 7,967

Property Yield 5.9%(1)

Note:

(1) The property yield is computed by dividing Clarke Quay’s annualised Net Property Income for the ForecastPeriod 2010 by the Purchase Consideration of S$268.0 million.

Please refer to Appendix B of the Circular for the assumptions for the forecast informationincluded in the table above.

In addition, the following table sets out the asset valuation, as at 31 December 2009, andvaluation capitalisation rates adopted by the independent valuers of CMT’s malls within theCBD but outside the Orchard Planning Area (“OPA”), as defined by the UrbanRedevelopment Authority (“URA”).

Market Valuation31 December 2009

(S$m)Valuation Cap Rate

(%)

Funan DigitaLife Mall 326.0 5.90%

Bugis Junction 798.0 5.75%

As at 31 December 2009, the property yields of CMT’s malls in the CBD but outside theOrchard Planning Area are between 5.75% and 5.90% from reference to the valuationcapitalisation rates adopted by the independent valuers on those properties. Accordingly, theannualised property yield for the Forecast Period 2010 of 5.9% for Clarke Quay falls withinthe range of the property yields of CMT’s malls in the vicinity of Clarke Quay.

Comparing the Acquisition with recent market transactions, we note that the recentcompleted acquisitions of Northpoint 2 and Yew Tee Point by Frasers Centrepoint Trust fromFrasers Centrepoint Limited are similar interested party transactions. The estimated entryyields for Northpoint 2 and Yew Tee Point are 5.8% and 5.9% respectively based on theinformation publicly announced by Frasers Centrepoint Trust. Accordingly, the annualisedproperty yield for the Forecast Period 2010 of 5.9% for Clarke Quay is in line with theestimated entry yields for the completed acquisitions of Northpoint 2 and Yew Tee Point. Inaddition, we have examined third party publicly disclosed assessments of recent retailtransaction property yields in Singapore. Accordingly, the annualised property yield for theForecast Period 2010 of 5.9% for Clarke Quay is within the range of recent third partypublicly disclosed assessments of recent retail transaction property yields in Singapore.

In addition, we note the following:

(i) The property yields from broadly comparable retail real estate in Singapore and theestimated entry yields of recent comparable market transactions are for illustrativepurposes only as these properties differ from Clarke Quay in terms of NLA and location;and

(ii) We highlight that general market property yield statistics are generally not readilyavailable from any reliable source, and the general market property yields set outabove are estimates only. Such market property yields will fluctuate over timedepending on the demand and supply for retail development space in Singapore. Wealso recognise that there is no other property which we may consider to be identical toClarke Quay in terms of building component mix, composition of tenants, net lettablearea, location, track record, future prospects and other relevant criteria.

(III) Occupancy Rates

We are advised that Clarke Quay had a total committed occupancy of 94.9% as at31 December 2009.

The URA, in their latest release of the 4th quarter Singapore real estate statistics, notes thatthe vacancy rate of the shop space sector in the Rest of Central Area1 (“RCA”), which iswhere Clarke Quay is situated, was 7.3% in Q4 2009. This vacancy rate of 7.3% isequivalent to an occupancy rate of 92.7% in Q4 2009.

The committed occupancy of Clarke Quay is higher than the occupancy rate of 92.7% for theshop space sector in Singapore’s RCA.

(IV) Pro Forma Financial Effects of the Acquisition

The pro forma financial effects and the Profit Forecast of the Acquisition are favourable, andare set out in paragraph 3.2 of the Letter to Unitholders and Appendix B respectively in theCircular. We note that the pro forma financial effects are positive.

(V) Other Considerations

Due Diligence Process

All transactions with interested persons, including the Acquisition, shall comply with theapplicable requirements of the Property Funds Appendix and/or the Listing Manual.

In general, the Manager has established internal control procedures to ensure thattransactions involving the Trustee, as the trustee of CMT, and a related party of the Manager(“Interested Person Transactions”) are undertaken on an arm’s length basis and onnormal commercial terms, which are generally no more favourable than those extended tounrelated third parties, and are not prejudicial to the interest of CMT or its minorityUnitholders.

In respect of such Interested Person Transactions, the Manager would have to demonstrateto the Audit Committee that the Interested Person Transactions are undertaken on normalcommercial terms which may include obtaining (where applicable) quotations from partiesunrelated to the Manager, or obtaining valuations from independent valuers (in accordancewith the Property Funds Appendix).

In addition, the following procedures would generally be undertaken:

• transactions (either individually or as part of a series or if aggregated with othertransactions involving the same interested party during the same financial year) equalto or exceeding S$100,000 in value but below 3.0% of CMT’s net tangible assets willbe subject to review and approval of the Audit Committee;

• transactions (either individually or as part of a series or if aggregated with othertransactions involving the same interested party during the same financial year) equalto or exceeding 3.0% but below 5.0% of CMT’s net tangible assets will be subject to thereview and approval of the Audit Committee. Such approval shall only be given if thetransactions are on normal commercial terms and are not prejudicial to the interests ofCMT or its minority Unitholders, and consistent with similar types of transactions madeby the Trustee, as trustee of CMT, with third parties which are unrelated to theManager; and

• transactions (either individually or as part of a series or if aggregated with othertransactions involving the same interested party during the same financial year) equalto or exceeding 5.0% of CMT’s net tangible assets will be reviewed and approved bythe Audit Committee who may as it deems fit request advice on the transaction fromindependent sources or advisers, including the obtaining of valuations fromprofessional valuers. Further, under the Listing Manual and the Property FundsAppendix, such transactions would have to be approved by the Unitholders at ameeting of Unitholders.

Where matters concerning CMT relate to transactions entered into or to be entered into bythe Trustee, for and on behalf of CMT, with a related party of the Manager, the Trustee isrequired to ensure that such transactions are conducted on normal commercial terms andare not prejudicial to the interests of CMT or its minority Unitholders in accordance with theapplicable requirements of the Property Funds Appendix and/or the Listing Manual relatingto the transaction in question. Further, the Trustee, as trustee of CMT, has the ultimatediscretion under the Trust Deed to decide whether or not to enter into a transaction involvingan Interested Person of the Manager. If the Trustee is to sign any contract with a relatedparty of the Trustee or the Manager, the Trustee will review that contract to ensure that itcomplies with applicable requirements relating to interested party transactions in theProperty Funds Appendix and the provisions of the Listing Manual relating to InterestedPerson Transactions as well as other guidelines as may from time to time be prescribed bythe MAS and the SGX-ST or other relevant authority to apply to real estate investment trusts.

All Interested Person Transactions will be subject to regular periodic reviews by the AuditCommittee.

The Manager’s internal control procedures are intended to ensure that Interested PersonTransactions are conducted at arm’s length and on normal commercial terms and are notprejudicial to minority Unitholders’ interests. The Manager maintains a register to record allInterested Person Transactions (and the basis, including the quotations obtained to supportsuch basis, on which they are entered into), which are entered into by CMT. The Managerthen incorporates into its internal audit plan a review of all Interested Person Transactionsentered into by CMT. The Audit Committee reviews the internal audit reports to ascertain thatthe guidelines and procedures established to monitor Interested Person Transactions havebeen complied with. In addition, the Trustees will also review such audit reports to ascertainthat the Property Funds Appendix has been complied with.

The Audit Committee periodically reviews Interested Person Transactions to ensurecompliance with the internal control procedures and with the relevant provisions of theListing Manual and the Property Funds Appendix. The review includes the examination ofthe nature of the transaction and its supporting documents or such other data deemednecessary by the Audit Committee.

If a member of the Audit Committee has an interest in a transaction, he is to abstain fromparticipating in the review and approval process in relation to that transaction.

The aggregate value as well as the details of Existing Interested Person Transactionsconducted in the current financial year has been disclosed in Appendix F of the Circular.

We note that for the Existing Interested Person Transactions 1 to 3, as shown in the tablein Appendix F, independent property consultants that have been commissioned by CMTcertified that the Existing Interested Person Transactions are at market level and the termsof agreement of the Existing Interested Person Transactions are on normal commercialterms.

With respect to Existing Interested Person Transaction 4, as shown in the table in AppendixF, we note that the engagement of Sembwaste Pte Ltd was entered into in the ordinarycourse of business and the amount of fees paid to Sembwaste Pte Ltd was on an arm’slength basis and on normal commercial terms.

In addition, with respect to Existing Interested Person Transaction 5, as shown in the tablein Appendix F, the independent professional quantity surveyor that has been commissionedby CMT found the fee to be within a reasonable range and on fair commercial terms.
