- Strong value proposition for businesses to be located in Raffles Place

Current office occupancy rate of the Property is estimated to be about 85.0% to 90.0%, as compared to the average occupancy rate for Grade-A offices in Raffles Place in 1Q 2015 of about 97.2%:

- Potential for occupancy rate to increase by about 7 to 12 percentage points (“ppt”)

METHOD OF FINANCING

PROPOSED ISSUE OF CPPUs

The Manager proposes to issue up to S$550.0 million of CPPUs to the Sponsor (or its nominees) as part payment for the Purchase Consideration.

The CPPUs will be classified as equity, and the proposed CPPU issue will not result in an increase in OUE C-REIT’s aggregate leverage under the Property Funds Appendix.

The CPPUs carry a coupon of 1.0% per annum, and are convertible at a premium of 15.0% above the theoretical ex-rights price (“TERP”) in relation to the Rights Issue into ordinary Units after the expiry of a four-year restriction period. During the restriction period the CPPUs are not allowed to be converted by the CPPU holder, but shall be redeemable on a pro rata basis at the option of the Manager, in whole or in part, at the issue price.

In order to ensure an orderly conversion of the CPPUs, not more than one-third of the CPPUs initially issued shall be converted in any one year after the restriction period.

RIGHTS ISSUE

The Manager has announced a fully underwritten renounceable Rights Issue of 393,305,817 new Units to Eligible Unitholders on the basis of 9 Rights Units for every 20 existing Units at a Rights Issue Price of S$0.555 to raise gross proceeds of approximately S$218.3 million.

Committed Sponsor has undertaken to fully subscribe for its pro rata entitlement of Rights Units representing 48.3% of voting rights.

The Manager intends to finance all acquisition costs relating to the proposed Acquisition (excluding the Acquisition Fee Units) through a combination of debt and equity financing, including the proposed issue of convertible perpetual preferred units (“CPPUs”) and the Rights Issue.

million as at 31 December 2014.

RESOLUTION 1: THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF AN INDIRECT INTEREST IN ONE

RAFFLES PLACE AND THE PROPOSED CPPU ISSUE

Description of One Raffles Place

One Raffles Place is strategically located at the junction of Raffles Place and Chulia Street, in the

heart of Singapore’s main financial district, Raffles Place. It is situated above the Raffles Place

Mass Rapid Transit (“MRT”) interchange station, and has a direct and seamless link to the Raffles

Place MRT interchange station via an underground pedestrian walkway.

The Property is an integrated commercial development comprising One Raffles Place Tower 1,

One Raffles Place Tower 2 and One Raffles Place Shopping Mall, with approximately 860,000

square feet (“sq ft”) of aggregate net lettable area (“NLA”). One Raffles Place Tower 1 was

completed in 1986 and is one of the tallest buildings in the Singapore CBD. It comprises a

62-storey Grade-A office building with a rooftop restaurant and observation deck. One Raffles

Place Tower 2, which is the new tower completed in 2012, is a 38-storey Grade-A office building.

It has been awarded the Platinum Green Mark Award by the Building and Construction Authority

for its energy efficiency and environmentally sustainable design. One Raffles Place Shopping Mall

is a six-storey retail podium that has undergone extensive refurbishment works which were

completed in May 2014. It is the largest purpose-built shopping mall in Raffles Place, accounting

for about 10% of existing retail stock in the CBD1. Its basement level is seamlessly linked to the

Raffles Place MRT interchange station via an underground pedestrian walkway. The Property has

a total of 326 basement car park lots.

The Proposed Acquisition Structure

OUBC is the registered owner of the Property and it owns 81.54% of the beneficial interest in the

Property for itself (the “OUBC Interest”), with the remaining 18.46% interest being held by OUBC

on trust for an unrelated third party. The Sponsor and its wholly-owned subsidiary BPHPL

collectively hold a 50.0% interest in OUBC. The remaining 50.0% interest is held by several third

parties, including the Kuwait Investment Office (“KIO”), which holds a 33.33% interest in OUBC.

Pursuant to an agreement entered into between the Sponsor, BPHPL and KIO on 10 June 2015

in relation to KIO’s divestment of its 33.33% interest in OUBC (the “Framework Agreement”),

BPHPL will acquire an additional interest in OUBC of a minimum of 25.0% and up to a maximum

of 33.33%. This is because pursuant to the articles of association of OUBC, if a shareholder

wishes to divest its shares (the “Divested Shares”), the remaining shareholders are entitled to

acquire the Divested Shares pro rata in accordance with their existing shareholding. Upon KIO

giving notice of its intention to dispose of its 33.33% interest, BPHPL would have a pro rata

entitlement to acquire a 25.0% interest in OUBC1, bringing its total interest in OUBC to 75.0%. If

the remaining shareholders do not exercise their entitlement to acquire the Divested Shares, then

BPHPL would be able to acquire up to a maximum of 33.33% interest in OUBC1 bringing its total

interest in OUBC to 83.33%. Therefore, the final Purchase Consideration shall be determined

based on the amount of the OUBC shares to be acquired by BPHPL, which is between 75.0% to

83.33% of the OUBC shares.

1 BPHPL currently holds a 45.0% interest in OUBC. The Sponsor holds the remaining 5.0% interest in OUBC and will

transfer such interest to BPHPL prior to completion of the proposed Acquisition. Upon the transfer of the Sponsor’s

5.0% interest in OUBC to BPHPL, BPHPL would have (i) a pro rata entitlement to acquire a 25.0% interest in OUBC

and (ii) the ability to acquire the maximum of 33.33% interest in OUBC.

3

Page 16: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

Since OUBC owns 81.54% of the beneficial interest in the Property, a 75.0% interest in OUBC

translates into an effective interest of 61.16% in the Property and an 83.33% interest in OUBC

translates to an effective interest of 67.95% in the Property.

Purchase Consideration and Valuation

The Purchase Consideration payable to the Sponsor in connection with the proposed Acquisition

shall be the net asset value (“NAV”) of BPHPL Group1 after taking into account the agreed value

of S$1,715.0 million for the OUBC Interest (comprising 81.54% interest in the Property) and the

shareholder’s loan to be repaid by BPHPL upon completion of the proposed Acquisition. The

Purchase Consideration shall be paid to the Sponsor in a combination of cash and CPPUs.

The Purchase Consideration has been negotiated on a willing-buyer and willing-seller basis, after

taking into account the independent valuations of Savills Valuation and Professional Services (S)

Pte Ltd (“Savills”) and Cushman & Wakefield VHS Pte. Ltd. (“Cushman & Wakefield”)

(collectively, the “Independent Valuers”). The Independent Valuers had conducted their

valuations based on the income capitalisation approach and the market comparison method. (See

Appendix F for further details regarding the valuation of the OUBC Interest.)

The Trustee has commissioned Savills and the Manager has commissioned Cushman & Wakefield

to value the OUBC Interest and their valuations are as follows.

Valuation of the OUBC Interest by Savills

(as at 5 June 2015)S$1,734.0 million

Valuation of the OUBC Interest by Cushman & Wakefield

(as at 5 June 2015)S$1,733.0 million

Agreed Value for the OUBC Interest S$1,715.0 million

Agreed Value for 75.0% of the OUBC Interest S$1,286.3 million

Agreed Value for 83.33% of the OUBC Interest S$1,429.2 million

Assuming that:

(a) OUE C-REIT acquires BPHPL which owns a 75.0% interest in OUBC;

(b) the proposed Acquisition is completed on 1 October 2015;

(c) based on the agreed value of S$1,286.3 million for the 75.0% indirect interest in OUBC; and

(d) BPHPL Group’s assumed NAV and the repayment of a shareholder’s loan which shall be

extended by the Sponsor to BPHPL for the acquisition of the Divested Shares,

the expected Purchase Consideration shall be S$1,034.0 million.

Assuming that:

(a) OUE C-REIT acquires BPHPL which owns an 83.33% interest in OUBC;

(b) the proposed Acquisition is completed on 1 October 2015;

(c) based on the agreed value of S$1,429.2 million for the 83.33% indirect interest in OUBC; and

1 “BPHPL Group” refers to BPHPL and its shareholding in OUBC as at the date of completion of the proposed

Acquisition.

Page 17: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

(d) BPHPL Group’s assumed NAV and the repayment of a shareholder’s loan which shall be

extended by the Sponsor to BPHPL for the acquisition of the Divested Shares,

the expected Purchase Consideration shall be S$1,148.8 million.

The expected Purchase Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect the actual NAV attributable to

the controlling shareholder of the BPHPL Group on the date of completion of the proposed

Acquisition.

Estimated Total Acquisition Cost

Depending on the shareholding interest in OUBC acquired by BPHPL, the estimated total cost of

the proposed Acquisition (the “Total Acquisition Cost”) will range from approximately S$1,061.2

million to S$1,178.3 million, comprising:

(i) the expected Purchase Consideration of S$1,034.0 million to S$1,148.8 million (see

“Purchase Consideration and Valuation” above);

(ii) the Acquisition Fee of approximately S$9.6 million to S$10.7 million to be paid in Units; and

(iii) the estimated debt and/or equity financing related costs, stamp duty, professional and other

fees and expenses incurred or to be incurred by OUE C-REIT in connection with the

proposed Acquisition of approximately S$17.6 million to S$18.8 million.

Method of Financing

The Manager intends to finance all acquisition costs relating to the proposed Acquisition

(excluding the Acquisition Fee Units) through a combination of debt and equity financing, including

the proposed CPPU Issue and the Rights Issue (as defined below).

(See paragraph 2.1.5 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details.)

Interested Person Transaction and Interested Party Transaction

As at 26 June 2015, being the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this Circular (the

“Latest Practicable Date”), the Sponsor, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries Clifford

Development Pte. Ltd. (“CDPL”) and the Manager, holds an aggregate interest in 422,018,928

Units, which is equivalent to 48.3% of the total number of Units in issue, and is therefore regarded

as a “controlling Unitholder” of OUE C-REIT under the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST (the “Listing

Manual”) and the Property Funds Appendix. In addition, as the Manager is a wholly-owned

subsidiary of the Sponsor, the Sponsor is therefore regarded as a “controlling shareholder” of the

Manager under both the Listing Manual and the Property Funds Appendix. As the Sponsor is the

vendor of BPHPL under the SPA, for the purposes of Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual and

Paragraph 5 of the Property Funds Appendix, the Sponsor (being a “controlling Unitholder” and a

“controlling shareholder” of the Manager) is (for the purposes of the Listing Manual) an “interested

person” and (for the purposes of the Property Funds Appendix) an “interested party” of OUE

C-REIT.

Therefore, the proposed Acquisition will constitute an Interested Person Transaction under

Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual, as well as an Interested Party Transaction under the Property

Funds Appendix.

(See paragraph 6.2.3 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details.)

5

Page 18: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

Payment of Acquisition Fee in Units

The Manager shall be paid an Acquisition Fee of approximately S$9.6 million to S$10.7 million for

the proposed Acquisition pursuant to the Trust Deed, depending on the percentage interest in

OUBC acquired by BPHPL. As the proposed Acquisition is an “interested party transaction” under

the Property Funds Appendix, the Acquisition Fee will be in the form of Units (“Acquisition Fee

Units”) which shall not be sold within one year of the date of issuance in accordance with

Paragraph 5.6 of the Property Funds Appendix.

Pursuant to Rule 805(1) of the Listing Manual, the Manager is seeking specific approval of the

Unitholders for the issue of the Acquisition Fee Units to the Manager. The issue price of the

Acquisition Fee Units shall be determined based on the theoretical ex-rights price (“TERP”) per

Unit in relation to the Rights Issue. While Clause 15.2.1 of the Trust Deed allows the Manager to

receive the Acquisition Fee Units at the Rights Issue Price, of S$0.555, the Manager has elected

to receive the Acquisition Fee Units at the TERP of S$0.731 per Unit instead.

(See paragraph 2.2 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details.)

The Proposed CPPU Issue

OUE C-REIT proposes to issue up to S$550.0 million CPPUs to the Sponsor (or its nominees) as

part payment for the Purchase Consideration.

(See paragraph 2.3 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details.)

The Rights Issue

The Manager has announced the issue of 393,305,817 new Units (the “Rights Units” and the

issue of the Rights Units, the “Rights Issue”), on a renounceable basis to Eligible Unitholders (as

defined herein) on the basis of 9 Rights Units for every 20 existing Units (the “Rights Ratio”) held

as at the time and date at and on which the transfer books and register of Unitholders will be

closed to determine the provisional allotments of Rights Units to Eligible Unitholders under the

Rights Issue (the “Books Closure Date”) at an issue price of S$0.555 per Rights Unit (the “Rights

Issue Price”), to raise gross proceeds of approximately S$218.3 million.

The Manager will be relying on the general mandate given by Unitholders at the annual general

meeting of Unitholders on 29 April 2015 to issue the Rights Units. In the event that OUE C-REIT

does not proceed with the proposed Acquisition, the proceeds from the Rights Issue shall be

re-deployed for potential future acquisitions or the repayment of its existing borrowings.

(See paragraph 2.4 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details.)

RESOLUTION 2: THE PROPOSED TRUST DEED SUPPLEMENT FOR THE ISSUE OF

PREFERRED UNITS

The Manager proposes to enter into the proposed Trust Deed Supplement with the Trustee for the

purposes of:

(i) authorising the Manager to issue Preferred Units from time to time, in one or more classes,

to any person(s) (including, without limitation, itself and/or its Related Parties (as defined

herein)), with the prior approval of Unitholders; and

6

(ii) setting out the general terms and conditions of an offer and issue of the Preferred Units.

(See paragraph 3 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details.)

RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

The Manager believes that the proposed Acquisition, the proposed CPPU Issue and the Rights

Issue (collectively, the “Transactions”) will bring the following key benefits to Unitholders:

(i) acquisition of a majority interest in a landmark commercial property in the Singapore CBD;

(ii) acquisition of a quality commercial property at an attractive price (albeit not immediately

yield-accretive);

(iii) favourable growth profile from potential increase in occupancy, potential positive rental

reversion and limited new office supply in Raffles Place;

(iv) achievement of transformational scale for OUE C-REIT through the proposed Acquisition

which will significantly enlarge the size of its portfolio and strengthen its competitive position

in Singapore;

(v) enhanced portfolio diversification and resilience, as well as reduced asset concentration risk;

(vi) strong support from the Sponsor through the proposed CPPU Issue and its take-up of the pro

rata stake in the Rights Issue;

(vii) increased market capitalisation and potential increased liquidity through the Rights Issue;

(viii) diversification of sources of funding; and

(ix) future ordinary equity injection into OUE C-REIT at a premium to the TERP through the

conversion of the CPPUs.

(See paragraph 4 of the Letter to Unitholders for further details.)

1. SUMMARY OF APPROVALS SOUGHT

The Manager is convening the EGM to seek Unitholders’ approval for:

(i) Resolution 1: the proposed Acquisition and the proposed CPPU Issue (Ordinary

Resolution); and

(ii) Resolution 2: the proposed Trust Deed Supplement for the issue of Preferred Units

(Extraordinary Resolution).

2. RESOLUTION 1: THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION AND THE PROPOSED CPPU ISSUE

2.1 THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION

2.1.1 Description of One Raffles Place

One Raffles Place is strategically located at the junction of Raffles Place and Chulia

Street, in the heart of Singapore’s main financial district, Raffles Place. It is situated

above the Raffles Place MRT station, and has a direct and seamless link to the Raffles

Place MRT interchange station via an underground pedestrian walkway.

The Property is an integrated commercial development comprising One Raffles Place

Tower 1, One Raffles Place Tower 2 and One Raffles Place Shopping Mall, with

approximately 860,000 sq ft of aggregate NLA. One Raffles Place Tower 1 was

completed in 1986 and is one of the tallest buildings in the Singapore CBD. It

comprises a 62-storey Grade-A office building with a rooftop restaurant and

observation deck. One Raffles Place Tower 2, which is the new tower completed in

2012, is a 38-storey Grade-A office building. It has been awarded the Platinum Green

Mark Award by the Building and Construction Authority for its energy efficiency and

environmentally sustainable design. One Raffles Place Shopping Mall is a six-storey

retail podium that has undergone extensive refurbishment works which were

completed in May 2014. It is the largest purpose-built shopping mall in Raffles Place,

− approximately 75% of the retail podium NLA is on a

99-year leasehold title commencing 1 November 1985

− the balance 25% is on the 841-year leasehold title

commencing 1 November 1985

2.1.2 The Proposed Acquisition Structure

OUBC is the registered owner of the Property and it owns 81.54% of the beneficial

interest in the Property for itself, with the remaining 18.46% interest being held by

OUBC on trust for an unrelated third party. The Sponsor and its wholly-owned

subsidiary BPHPL collectively hold a 50.0% interest in OUBC. The remaining 50.0%

interest is held by several third parties, including KIO, which holds a 33.33% interest

in OUBC.

Pursuant to the Framework Agreement, BPHPL will acquire an additional interest in

OUBC of a minimum of 25.0% and up to a maximum of 33.33%. This is because

pursuant to the articles of association of OUBC, if a shareholder wishes to divest its

shares (the “Divested Shares”), the remaining shareholders are entitled to acquire

the Divested Shares pro rata in accordance with their existing shareholding. Upon KIO

giving notice of its intention to dispose of its 33.33% interest, BPHPL would have a pro

rata entitlement to acquire a 25.0% interest in OUBC2, bringing its total interest in

OUBC to 75.0%. If the remaining shareholders do not exercise their entitlement to

acquire the Divested Shares, then BPHPL would be able to acquire up to a maximum

of 33.33% interest in OUBC2 bringing its total interest in OUBC to 83.33%. Therefore,

1 Source: Independent Market Research Report.

2 BPHPL currently holds a 45.0% interest in OUBC. The Sponsor holds the remaining 5.0% interest in OUBC and will

transfer such interest to BPHPL prior to completion of the proposed Acquisition. Upon the transfer of the Sponsor’s

5.0% interest in OUBC to BPHPL, BPHPL would have (i) a pro rata entitlement to acquire a 25.0% interest in OUBC

and (ii) the ability to acquire the maximum of 33.33% interest in OUBC.

10

Page 23: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

the final Purchase Consideration shall be determined based on the amount of the

OUBC shares acquired by BPHPL, which is between 75.0% to 83.33% of the OUBC

shares.

Since OUBC owns 81.54% of the beneficial interest in the Property, a 75.0% interest

in OUBC translates into an effective interest of 61.16% in the Property and an 83.33%

interest in OUBC translates to an effective interest of 67.95% in the Property.

2.1.3 Purchase Consideration and Valuation

The Purchase Consideration payable to the Sponsor in connection with the proposed

Acquisition shall be the NAV of BPHPL Group after taking into account the agreed

value of S$1,715.0 million for the OUBC Interest (comprising 81.54% interest in the

Property) and the shareholder’s loan to be repaid by BPHPL upon completion of the

proposed Acquisition. The Purchase Consideration shall be paid to the Sponsor in a

combination of cash and CPPUs.

The Purchase Consideration has been negotiated on a willing-buyer and willing-seller

basis, after taking into account the independent valuations of the Independent Valuers.

The Independent Valuers had conducted their valuations based on the income

capitalisation approach and the market comparison method. (See Appendix F for

further details regarding the valuation of the OUBC Interest.)

The Trustee has commissioned Savills and the Manager has commissioned Cushman

& Wakefield to value the OUBC Interest. The following table sets out the selected

information on the valuations by the Independent Valuers.

Valuation of the OUBC Interest by Savills

The expected Purchase Consideration shall be adjusted to reflect the actual NAV

attributable to the controlling shareholder of the BPHPL Group on the date of

completion of the proposed Acquisition.

2.1.4 Estimated Total Acquisition Cost

Depending on the shareholding interest in OUBC acquired by BPHPL, the estimated

Total Acquisition Cost will range from approximately S$1,061.2 million to S$1,178.3

million, comprising:

(i) the expected Purchase Consideration of S$1,034.0 million to S$1,148.8 million

(see “Purchase Consideration and Valuation” above);

(ii) the Acquisition Fee of approximately S$9.6 million to S$10.7 million to be paid in

Units; and

(iii) the estimated debt and/or equity financing related costs, stamp duty, professional

and other fees and expenses incurred or to be incurred by OUE C-REIT in

2.1.6 Principal Terms of the SPA

The principal terms of the SPA include, among others, the following conditions

precedent:

(i) BPHPL having acquired the additional 25.0% to 33.33% interest in OUBC and

being the legal and beneficial owner of the 75.0% to 83.33% shares in OUBC;

(ii) no statute, regulation or decision which would prohibit the sale and purchase of

been proposed, enacted or taken by any governmental or official authority;

(iii) the approval of the Sponsor’s shareholders for the disposal of BPHPL and

transactions in connection with such disposal;

(iv) the approval of the Unitholders for the proposed Acquisition and transactions in

connection with such Acquisition (including the proposed CPPU Issue and any

applicable whitewash resolution to be obtained from Unitholders in connection

with such issuance);

(v) the approval and confirmation being received by OUE C-REIT from Inland

Revenue Authority of Singapore that the CPPUs will be treated as equity;

(vi) the approval and confirmation being received by OUE C-REIT from the MAS that

the CPPUs will not count towards OUE C-REIT’s aggregate leverage limit under

the Property Funds Appendix; and

(vii) (a) no event or circumstance shall have occurred in respect of or in connection

with the affairs of OUBC and/or One Raffles Place, and (b) there being no breach

of any clause of the SPA (including any of the warranties), which adversely

affects the NAV of OUBC by 25% when compared to that reflected in the audited

consolidated financial statement of OUBC for the financial year ended 31

Completion of the proposed Acquisition is conditional upon the above condition

precedents being fulfilled or waived by the relevant party (other than paragraphs

2.1.6(iii) and (iv) above which cannot be waived) to the SPA on or prior to the Long

Stop Date. For the purpose of the SPA, “Long Stop Date” refers to the date falling

three months after the date of the EGM convened to seek Unitholders’ approval for,

among others, the acquisition of BPHPL or such other earlier date as may be mutually

agreed by OUE C-REIT and the Sponsor.

2.2 Payment of Acquisition Fee in Units

The Manager shall be paid an Acquisition Fee of approximately S$9.6 million to S$10.7

million for the proposed Acquisition pursuant to the Trust Deed, depending on the percentage

interest in OUBC acquired by BPHPL. As the proposed Acquisition is an “interested party

transaction” under the Property Funds Appendix, the Acquisition Fee will be in the form of

Units which shall not be sold within one year of the date of issuance in accordance with

Paragraph 5.6 of the Property Funds Appendix.

Pursuant to Rule 805(1) of the Listing Manual, the Manager is seeking specific approval of

the Unitholders for the issue of the Acquisition Fee Units to the Manager. The issue price of

the Acquisition Fee Units shall be determined based on the TERP per Unit in relation to the

Rights Issue. While Clause 15.2.1 of the Trust Deed allows the Manager to receive the

Acquisition Fee Units at the Rights Issue Price of S$0.555, the Manager has elected to

receive the Acquisition Fee Units at the TERP of S$0.731 per Unit instead.

Based on the TERP of S$0.731 per Unit, the number of Acquisition Fee Units issued shall be

approximately 13.2 million to 14.7 million.

2.3 The Proposed CPPU Issue

The Manager intends to issue up to S$550.0 million CPPUs to the Sponsor (or its nominees)

as part payment of the Purchase Consideration. The CPPUs will not be classified as

borrowings, and the proposed CPPU Issue will not result in an increase in OUE C-REIT’s

Aggregate Leverage under the Property Funds Appendix.

2.3.1 Key Characteristics of the CPPUs

Certain key characteristics and other salient terms of the CPPUs are set out below.

over the relevant Special Preferred Distribution Period2, on

all CPPUs for the relevant Special Preferred Distribution

Period, which shall be payable on the relevant Redemption

reorganisation, where the CPPU Holders will be entitled to

exercise their right to convert the CPPUs into Units

(“Conversion Right”) even during the Restriction Period.

(Please see paragraphs 21.3 and 22.2 of Appendix B for

Right no later than five Business Days prior to the date

fixed for redemption of such CPPUs.

Conversion Price The Conversion Price1 shall be an amount equivalent to a

premium of 15.0% above the TERP per Unit in relation to

the Rights Issue.

2.3.2 Redemption Review Process

The Manager will put in place a redemption review process following the issuance of

the CPPUs. The Manager will monitor the commercial viability of redeeming the

CPPUs on an on-going basis and will at least on a semi-annual basis in every financial

year after the issuance of the CPPUs prepare an internal report as to whether to

redeem the CPPUs, taking into account relevant funding costs, market conditions,

benefits and risks of redemption. This report will be drawn up in the three months

preceding the commencement of the relevant six-month period. The internal report

shall set out the factors taken into consideration by the Manager as well as the

financial conditions of OUE C-REIT and such other information as the Manager may

consider necessary for the consideration of the audit and risk committee of the

Manager (the “Audit and Risk Committee”).

The Audit and Risk Committee will then review the internal report, deliberate and

decide if OUE C-REIT should redeem any CPPUs, taking into consideration the best

interest of OUE C-REIT and its minority Unitholders. Any member of the Audit and Risk

Committee who is a non-Independent Director shall abstain from voting on any

resolution relating to the redemption of the CPPUs at the meeting of the Audit and Risk

Committee.

2.4 The Rights Issue

The Manager will be relying on the general mandate given by Unitholders at the annual

general meeting of Unitholders on 29 April 2015 to issue the Rights Units. In the event that

OUE C-REIT does not proceed with the proposed Acquisition, the proceeds from the Rights

Issue shall be re-deployed for potential future acquisitions or the repayment of its existing

borrowings.

FAVOUR OF A THIRD PARTY OR TRADED ON THE SGX-ST.

Unitholders should note that the Rights Issue is undertaken pursuant to the

general mandate given by Unitholders to the Manager at the annual general

meeting on 29 April 2015.

The Rights Issue is further conditional upon the lodgement of the Offer Information

Statement with the MAS.

2.4.2 Eligible Unitholders

Eligible Unitholders whose Securities Accounts are credited with Units as at 5.00 p.m.

on the Books Closure Date will be provisionally allotted the Rights Entitlements on the

basis of the number of Units standing to the credit of their Securities Accounts with

CDP as at the Books Closure Date.

“Eligible Unitholders” are Unitholders with Units standing to the credit of their

Securities Accounts and (a) whose registered addresses with CDP are in Singapore as

at the Books Closure Date or who have, at least three Market Days prior to the Books

Closure Date, provided CDP with addresses in Singapore for the service of notices

and documents or (b) who the Manager determines may be offered Rights Units

without breaching applicable securities laws.

Eligible Unitholders will be at liberty to accept in part or in full, decline or otherwise

renounce or trade (during the “nil-paid” rights trading period prescribed by the

SGX-ST) their provisional allotments of Rights Units and are eligible to apply for

Excess Rights Units in excess of their provisional allotments under the Rights Issue.

Eligible Unitholders who have subscribed for or purchased Units under the

Central Provident Fund (“CPF”) Investment Scheme (“CPFIS”) and/or the

Supplementary Retirement Scheme (“SRS”) can only accept their Rights

Entitlements by instructing the relevant banks in which they hold their CPFIS

accounts and/or SRS accounts to do so on their behalf. Any application made

directly to CDP or through automated teller machines will be rejected.

Unitholders holding Units through a finance company or depository agent may

only subscribe for the Rights Entitlements through their respective finance

company or depository agent.

Subscription for the Rights Entitlements arising from Units acquired under the

CPFIS Ordinary Account (“CPFIS-OA”), where the Rights Entitlements are of a

type included under the CPFIS-OA, can only be made using CPF funds. In the

event of insufficient CPF funds or stock limit, Unitholders should top-up their

CPF funds with the relevant bank in which they hold their CPFIS accounts to

ensure that they may subscribe for their Rights Entitlements.

2.4.3 Ineligible Unitholders

No provisional allotment of Rights Units will be made to Unitholders other than the

Eligible Unitholders (“Ineligible Unitholders”) and no purported acceptance thereof

or application therefor by Ineligible Unitholders will be valid.

21

Page 34: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

The making of the Rights Issue may be prohibited or restricted in certain jurisdictions

under their relevant securities laws. Thus, for practical reasons and in order to avoid

any violation of the securities legislation or other relevant laws applicable in countries

(other than in Singapore) where Unitholders may have their addresses registered with

CDP, the Rights Issue will not be extended to Ineligible Unitholders. Save as provided

herein, Ineligible Unitholders who wish to participate in the Rights Issue will have to

provide CDP with addresses in Singapore for the service of notices and documents

and any other evidence of eligibility at least three Market Days prior to the Books

Closure Date. Save as provided herein and for the avoidance of doubt, the Ineligible

Unitholders are not eligible to participate in the Rights Issue.

The “nil-paid” Rights Entitlements and the Rights Units have not been and will not be

registered under the Securities Act, or under the securities laws of any state of the

U.S. and, accordingly, they may not be offered, sold, resold, granted, delivered,

allotted, taken up, transferred or renounced, directly or indirectly, in within the U.S.

except pursuant to an applicable exemption from, or a transaction not subject to, the

registration requirements of the Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable

securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the U.S. The Rights Units and the

Rights Entitlements will only be offered and sold in offshore transactions in reliance on

Regulation S.

If it is practicable to do so, the Manager may, in its absolute discretion, arrange for

“nil-paid” rights which would otherwise have been allotted to Ineligible Unitholders to

be sold “nil-paid” on the SGX-ST as soon as practicable after dealings in the “nil-paid”

rights commence.

Such sales may, however, only be effected if the Manager, in its absolute discretion,

determines that a premium can be obtained from such sales, after taking into account

expenses to be incurred in relation thereto.

The net proceeds from all such sales, after deduction of all expenses therefrom, will

be pooled and thereafter distributed to Ineligible Unitholders in proportion to their

respective Unitholdings determined as at the Books Closure Date and sent to them by

ordinary post, provided that where the amount to be distributed to any Ineligible

Unitholder is less than S$10.00, the Manager shall be entitled to retain or deal with

such net proceeds as the Manager may, its in absolute discretion, deem fit for the sole

benefit of OUE C-REIT and no Ineligible Unitholder shall have any claim whatsoever

against the Manager, the Joint Lead Managers and Underwriters, the Trustee or the

CDP in connection therewith.

2.4.4 Excess Rights Units

The Rights Units represented by the provisional allotments (A) of (i) Eligible

Unitholders who decline, do not accept, and elect not to renounce or trade their

provisional allotment of Rights Units under the Rights Issue (during the “nil-paid” rights

trading period prescribed by the SGX-ST) and/or (ii) Ineligible Unitholders which have

not been sold during the “nil-paid” rights trading period or (B) that have not been

validly taken up by the original allottees, renounces of the provisional allotments or the

purchasers of the “nil-paid” rights (collectively, the “Excess Rights Units”), subject to

the requirements of otherwise of the SGX-ST, will be issued to satisfy Excess Rights

Units applications as the Manager may, in its discretion, deem fit.

22

Page 35: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

2.4.5 Rights Issue Price

The Rights Issue Price represents a discount of:

(i) 31.5% to the Closing Price;

(ii) 24.1% to the TERP per Unit. For the avoidance of doubt, the TERP is calculated

as follows:

TERP =

Market capitalisation of OUE C-REIT1

+ Gross proceeds from the Rights Issue

Units in issue after the Rights Issue2

; and

(iii) 39.7% to the pro forma NAV per Unit after completion of the proposed

Transactions of S$0.92 per Unit as at 31 December 2014 and before conversion

of the CPPUs. (Please also refer to paragraph 6.1.2 of the Letter to Unitholders

for the pro forma NAV per Unit.)

2.4.6 Use of Proceeds of the Rights Issue

The Manager expects to raise gross proceeds of approximately S$218.3 million and

net proceeds of approximately S$214.9 million under the Rights Issue. Based on the

Manager’s current estimates, the Manager expects to use the gross proceeds from the

Rights Issue as follows:

(i) approximately S$205.3 million (which is equivalent to 94.0% of the gross

proceeds of the Rights Issue) to part finance the expected Purchase

Consideration including the repayment of any outstanding shareholder’s loan at

BPHPL;

(ii) approximately S$3.4 million (which is equivalent to 1.6% of the gross proceeds

of the Rights Issue) to pay the total costs and expenses relating to the Rights

Issue; and

(iii) approximately S$9.6 million (which is equivalent to 4.4% of the gross proceeds

of the Rights Issue) to pay the stamp duty, professional and other fees and

expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with the proposed

Transactions.

Pending deployment, the net proceeds from the Rights Issue may be deposited with

banks and/or financial institutions, or used for any other purpose on a short-term basis

as the Manager may, in its absolute discretion deem fit. If the proposed Acquisition is

not completed, the net proceeds may be re-deployed for future acquisitions or the

repayment of debt.

The Manager will make periodic announcements on the utilisation of the net proceeds

of the Rights Issue via SGXNET as and when such funds are materially utilised.

It should be noted that OUE C-REIT is currently not under pressure from its bankers

to repay any of its existing borrowings and has sufficient resources to meet its current

capital commitments. The Manager is of the opinion that, after taking into

consideration OUE C-REIT’s internal resources, its available loan facilities and the net

proceeds of the Rights Issue, the working capital available to OUE C-REIT is sufficient

to meet its present obligations as and when they fall due.

2.4.7 Costs of the Rights Issue

The estimated costs of the Rights Issue that OUE C-REIT will have to bear include the

management, underwriting and selling commissions and related expenses of S$3.4

million (excluding goods and service tax payable), together with any goods and

services tax payable thereon.

2.4.8 Underwriting of the Rights Issue and Commitment of the Sponsor

(i) Commitment of the Sponsor

To demonstrate its support for OUE C-REIT and the Rights Issue, the Sponsor

(which through its wholly-owned subsidiaries, CDPL and the Manager (in its own

capacity) (the “Subscribing Entities”), owns 422,018,928 Units representing

48.3% of the voting rights of OUE C-REIT as at the Latest Practicable Date) has

provided to the Manager and the Joint Lead Managers and Underwriters an

irrevocable undertaking (the “Irrevocable Undertaking”) pursuant to which the

Sponsor will procure that the Subscribing Entities take up their full pro rata

entitlement of up to 189,908,517 Rights Units representing 48.3% of the total

number of Rights Units.

(ii) Underwriting of the Rights Issue

Save for the Rights Units which are the subject of the Irrevocable Undertaking,

the Rights Issue is fully underwritten by the Joint Lead Managers and

Underwriters on the terms and subject to the conditions of the underwriting

agreement entered into between the Manager and the Joint Lead Managers and

Underwriters on 29 June 2015 (the “Underwriting Agreement”). Pursuant to the

Underwriting Agreement, the Joint Lead Managers and Underwriters have

agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of that agreement to subscribe for,

and/or procure the subscription for, at the Rights Issue Price, the Rights Units for

which valid applications have not been submitted. The Joint Lead Managers and

Underwriters will be entitled to a commission of 2.25% (the “Underwriting

Commission”).

The Underwriting Agreement may be terminated upon the occurrence of certain

events, including breaches by the Manager of certain terms of the Underwriting

Agreement, certain material adverse changes relating to OUE C-REIT and events

of a force majeure nature. However, the Joint Lead Managers and Underwriters

will not be entitled to rely on force majeure to terminate the Underwriting

Agreement on or after the date on which ex-rights trading commences, in

compliance with Rule 818 of the Listing Manual.

3.3 Rationale for the Proposed Trust Deed Supplement

The Manager believes that the ability to create and issue new classes of Preferred Units will

enhance OUE C-REIT’s financing flexibility and widen the pool of capital available to OUE

C-REIT by allowing the Manager to create and issue new classes of securities.

4. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED TRANSACTIONS

The Manager believes that the proposed Transactions will bring the following key benefits to

Unitholders:

4.1 Acquisition of a majority interest in a landmark commercial property in the Singapore

CBD

The proposed Acquisition represents a unique opportunity for OUE C-REIT to acquire a

majority interest in One Raffles Place. It is expected to increase OUE C-REIT’s exposure to

its core Singapore office market and the Property possesses the following competitive

strengths arising from its positioning as a Grade-A commercial property;

(i) it is strategically located in the heart of Raffles Place, which is in the traditional financial

and business hub within Singapore’s CBD. Raffles Place is perceived as the most

accessible office location within the CBD, and is expected to remain as a focal point of

the CBD even with the expansion of the Marina Bay precinct, with One Raffles Place’s

strategic location being a strong pull-factor for existing and prospective tenants.

One Raffles Place is situated above and linked to the Raffles Place MRT interchange

station, one of Singapore’s major MRT interchange stations, via underground

pedestrian access through the basement of its retail podium which is also connected to

a comprehensive underground network of pedestrian walkways linking to other

developments within Raffles Place as well as Marina Bay. The Property also enjoys

enhanced accessibility to other parts of Singapore via its proximity to the Marina

Coastal Expressway, the Central Expressway and the East Coast Parkway;

(ii) it is a prominent iconic development with Grade-A building specifications. One Raffles

Place Tower 1 comprises a 62-storey office tower and is one of the tallest buildings in

the CBD, with its upper levels enjoying a 360-degree panoramic view of the city. One

Raffles Place Shopping Mall, a six-storey retail podium that has undergone extensive

refurbishment works recently, faces the entire length of the Raffles Place Park, within

the very heart of Raffles Place. As the largest purpose-built shopping mall in Raffles

Place, it offers a diverse range of shopping, dining and leisure options catering to the

needs of the working population in the CBD. The main anchor tenants of One Raffles

Place Shopping Mall include H&M, Uniqlo and other well-known local and international

brand names such as Paris Baguette Café, The Hour Glass, Pandora and Tumi;

(iii) The two office towers offer quality and efficient column-free office space with regular

floor plates. As a result, the Property enjoys an established blue-chip tenant base which

include reputable banking, insurance, financial, information and technology, media and

telecommunications companies and multi-national corporations (“MNCs”). Key tenants

include Petrobras Singapore Pte Ltd, Alipay Singapore E-commerce Private Limited,

Virgin Active Singapore Pte Ltd, Pramerica Investment Management (Singapore) Pte

Ltd and China Merchant Bank Co. Ltd;

28

Page 41: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

(iv) One Raffles Place Tower 2 has been accredited with the prestigious BCA Green Mark

Platinum Certification for its environmentally sustainable features, and such

accreditation is increasingly sought after by blue-chip tenants and MNCs when sourcing

potential office space; and

(v) The Property is situated primarily on three land plots with three different tenures with

remaining long land leases of about 812 years, 69 years and 67 years respectively,

translating to a remaining weighted average land lease expiry (by value) of 435 years.

The long land leases provide an attractive investment opportunity and the proposed

Acquisition is expected to increase the remaining land lease expiry of OUE C-REIT,

from its current remaining weighted average land lease expiry of approximately 72

years to 258 years, which is approximately 3.6 times from its current remaining

weighted average land lease expiry.

4.2 Acquisition of a quality commercial property at an attractive price

While the proposed Acquisition is not immediately yield-accretive, it represents an

opportunity for OUE C-REIT to acquire an interest in a quality commercial property in the

prime Raffles Place area at an attractive price of S$2,382 per square foot (“psf”) compared

to the transacted prices of Grade-A properties in the area, as illustrated in the following

4.3 Favourable growth profile from potential increase in occupancy, positive rental

reversion and limited new office supply in Raffles Place

According to the Independent Market Research Report, rents for Grade-A office buildings in

Raffles Place, especially those which are well-located e.g. with direct access to the MRT

station, are expected to be relatively resilient, given that there are no known premium and

Grade-A office developments expected to be completed in the area from 2015 to 2018. In

addition, existing Grade-A offices in Raffles Place are uniquely positioned, offering mainly

mid-sized floor plates (typically at around 10,000 sq ft), compared with recent and future

office developments that offer floor plates of 20,000 sq ft and above.

Many companies in Singapore continue to favour the CBD as a choice location, with Raffles

Place widely regarded as the most established business location within the CBD. Offices with

mid-sized floor plates in Raffles Place offer a strong value proposition to these companies.

Coupled with the growing diversity of tenants in the CBD, the demand for mid-sized floor

plates in Raffles Place is expected to remain relatively firm. Despite the development of

Marina Bay, Raffles Place continues to be perceived as the most accessible location in the

CBD. As at 1Q 2015, the Independent Market Research Consultant estimates the average

office rent in Marina Bay to be 20% higher than that in Raffles Place, providing a strong value

proposition for businesses to be located in Raffles Place.

Based on the Independent Market Research Report, the current office occupancy rate of One

Raffles Place is estimated to be about 85.0% to 90.0%, as compared to the average

occupancy rate for Grade-A offices in Raffles Place in 1Q 2015 of about 97.2%. Based on the

above occupancy estimates, there is potential for One Raffles Place to increase its

occupancy rate by about 7 to 12 percentage points to reach an occupancy level in line with

the market.

2 Based on the sale of a 51% stake in Hitachi Tower which valued the property at around S$660.0 million.

4.4 Achievement of transformational scale for OUE C-REIT through the proposed

Acquisition which will significantly enlarge the size of its portfolio and strengthen its

competitive position in Singapore

Following the completion of the proposed Acquisition, OUE C-REIT’s assets-under-

management (“AUM”) is expected to increase from S$1,630.6 million (as at 31 December

2014) to S$3,364.6 million, representing an increase of 106.3%.

The larger asset base post-Acquisition is expected to enhance OUE C-REIT’s overall capital

management flexibility. With a larger asset base, OUE C-REIT will have greater debt

headroom before reaching the aggregate leverage limit under the Property Funds Appendix

(which is with reference to OUE C-REIT’s Deposited Property). A larger asset base will also

support more equity issuances by OUE C-REIT in future. These will, in turn, facilitate future

acquisitions and asset enhancement initiatives to be undertaken by OUE C-REIT.

Further, the proposed Acquisition is expected to increase OUE C-REIT’s proportion of

Singapore AUM from 69.6% to 85.3%, as well as increase the total NLA of OUE C-REIT’s

asset portfolio from approximately 825,000 sq ft to 1,545,000 sq ft, thereby enlarging OUE

C-REIT’s footprint within the Singapore CBD and strengthening its competitive position as a

landlord in the Singapore office market.

4.5 Enhanced portfolio diversification and resilience, as well as reduced asset

The proposed Acquisition is expected to benefit Unitholders by enhancing the diversification

and resilience of the Existing Portfolio through the following ways:

(i) Increasing OUE C-REIT’s gross revenue contribution denominated in Singapore

dollars

The proposed Acquisition is expected to increase the gross revenue contribution

denominated in Singapore dollars, and in turn reduce the impact of foreign exchange

fluctuations on OUE C-REIT’s total distributable income. Post-Acquisition, the

proportion of gross revenue received by OUE C-REIT denominated in Singapore dollars

is expected to increase from 68.5%, to 82.3% and 83.1% in the Forecast Period, after

the completion of the proposed Acquisition of 75.0% and 83.33% indirect interest in

OUBC, respectively.

property

The proposed Acquisition is expected to enhance OUE C-REIT’s income diversification

and reduce its asset concentration risk. No single property is expected to account for

more than 43.8% to 46.4% of OUE C-REIT’s gross revenue, after the completion of the

proposed Acquisition of 75.0% and 83.33% indirect interest in OUBC, respectively,

(iii) Enhancing the quality of OUE C-REIT’s tenant base

The proposed Acquisition is expected to enhance the quality of OUE C-REIT’s tenant

base, with the addition of several established MNCs which include Petrobras Singapore

Pte Ltd, Alipay Singapore E-commerce Private Limited, Virgin Active Singapore Pte Ltd,

Pramerica Investment Management (Singapore) Pte Ltd and China Merchant Bank Co.

Ltd, thereby adding to OUE C-REIT’s existing core of blue chip tenants. The stronger

and more diverse tenant base is also expected to improve the resilience of OUE

C-REIT’s cashflows.

4.6 Strong support from the Sponsor through the proposed CPPU Issue and its take-up of

the pro rata stake in the Rights Issue

The proposed Acquisition is in line with the Sponsor’s commitment to OUE C-REIT at the

time of its initial public offering, when the Sponsor granted a right of first refusal to OUE

C-REIT for its potential future acquisitions of income-producing real estate used primarily for

commercial purposes. The proposed issuance of the CPPUs to the Sponsor as part payment

for the proposed Acquisition and its undertaking to procure the Subscribing Entities to take

up their full pro rata stake in the Rights Issue will further align the interests of the Sponsor

with that of OUE C-REIT and its Unitholders. This also demonstrates the Sponsor’s

commitment to support OUE C-REIT’s acquisition growth strategy. Specifically, the

Sponsor’s commitment to take up the CPPUs and to procure the Subscribing Entities’

take-up of their pro rata stake in the Rights Issue, demonstrates its long-term commitment

to grow OUE C-REIT into an efficient platform for holding commercial properties, with both

the Sponsor and the Manager being incentivised to maximise distributions to Unitholders.

The strong support of the Sponsor for the proposed Transactions also reflects its confidence

in the growth prospects in One Raffles Place, underlining its importance as a key asset in

OUE C-REIT’s portfolio.

4.7 Increased market capitalisation and potential increased liquidity through the Rights

Issue

To part finance the proposed Acquisition, up to 393,305,817 new Units will be issued under

the Rights Issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the new Units will constitute 45.0% of the

Units in issue. The issue of the new Units is expected to increase the market capitalisation

of OUE C-REIT and may facilitate improvement in the trading liquidity of Units on the

SGX-ST. The Manager believes that the increased market capitalisation and liquidity would

provide OUE C-REIT with increased visibility within the investment community.

4.8 Diversification of sources of funding

The proposed CPPU issue enables the Manager to widen the pool of capital available to OUE

C-REIT and enhances its financial flexibility. The CPPUs will be treated as equity of OUE

C-REIT and not as borrowings or deferred payments under the Property Funds Appendix.

Therefore, the proposed CPPU Issue will not increase OUE C-REIT’s aggregate leverage

and refinancing risk. Assuming that OUE C-REIT acquires the maximum 83.33% indirect

interest in OUBC, its pro forma aggregate leverage is expected to be 41.9%1.

In addition, the Manager has the option but not the obligation to redeem the CPPUs. In this

regard, there is no refinancing risk arising from the proposed CPPU Issue as the CPPU

Holder does not have the right to procure the Manager to redeem the CPPUs.

4.9 Future ordinary equity injection into OUE C-REIT at a premium to the TERP through the

conversion of the CPPUs

The CPPUs are convertible at a premium of 15.0% above the TERP into ordinary Units after

the expiry of the four-year restriction period. In order to ensure an orderly conversion of the

CPPUs, not more than one-third of the CPPUs initially issued shall be converted in any one

year. If the CPPUs are converted, this will allow OUE C-REIT to issue ordinary equity at a

premium to the TERP at announcement of the Rights Issue.

1 OUE C-REIT’s pro forma aggregate leverage is expected to be 40.9% if it acquires the minimum 75.0% indirect

interest in OUBC.

6.2 Requirement of Unitholders’ Approval for the Proposed Acquisition and the Proposed

CPPU Issue

6.2.1 Major Transaction

Chapter 10 of the Listing Manual governs the acquisition or divestment of assets,

including options to acquire or dispose of assets, by OUE C-REIT. Such transactions

are classified into the following categories:

(a) non-discloseable transactions;

(b) discloseable transactions;

(c) major transactions; and

(d) very substantial acquisitions or reverse takeovers.

43

Page 56: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

A transaction by OUE C-REIT may fall into any of the categories set out above

depending on the size of the relative figures computed on the following bases of

comparison:

(i) the NAV of the assets to be disposed of, compared with OUE C-REIT’s NAV;

(ii) the net profits attributable to the assets acquired, compared with OUE C-REIT’s

net profits;

(iii) the aggregate value of the consideration given, compared with OUE C-REIT’s

market capitalisation;

(iv) the number of Units issued by OUE C-REIT as consideration for an acquisition,

compared with the number of Units previously in issue.

Where any of the relative figures computed on the bases set out above exceeds

20.0%, the transaction is classified as a major transaction. The Listing Manual

requires that a major transaction involving OUE C-REIT be made conditional upon

approval by Unitholders in a general meeting. However, the approval of Unitholders is

not required in the case of an acquisition of profitable assets if only sub-paragraph

6.2.1(ii) exceeds the relevant 20.0% threshold.

6.2.2 Relative Figures for the Proposed Acquisition computed on the bases set out in

Rule 1006

The relative figures for the proposed Acquisition using the applicable bases of

comparison described in sub-paragraph 6.2.1 above are set out in the table below.

(2) This figure is derived from OUBC’s audited consolidated financial statement for the year ended 31December 2014 and represents its net profit before tax (before accounting for fair value gain onrevaluation of property), pro-rated for the period from 1 January 2014 to 31 March 2014.

As the relative figure for the basis of comparison set out in sub-paragraph 6.2.1(iii)

exceeds 100.0%, the Manager had submitted an application to the SGX-ST regarding

the waiver of Rule 1015 relating to very substantial acquisitions. The reasons for the

waiver application were, among others, as follows:

(i) the proposed Acquisition has been foreshadowed prior to OUE C-REIT’s listing

on the SGX-ST;

(ii) Unitholders’ approval will be sought for the proposed Acquisition;

(iii) the proposed Acquisition will not result in a change of control in OUE C-REIT;

(iv) the proposed Acquisition is in OUE C-REIT’s ordinary course of business; and

(v) OUE C-REIT is not able to produce three years of historical pro forma financial

information for the proposed Acquisition as it was only listed on the SGX-ST on

27 January 2014.

In light of the reasons stated above, the SGX-ST has on 20 March 2015 advised that

it has no objection to the waiver from Rule 1015 with respect to the proposed

Acquisition, subject to OUE C-REIT announcing the waiver granted, the reasons for

seeking the waiver and the conditions, if any, of the waiver.

6.2.3 Interested Person Transaction and Interested Party Transaction

Under Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual, where OUE C-REIT proposes to enter into a

transaction with an interested person and the value of the transaction (either in itself

or when aggregated with the value of other transactions, each of a value equal to or

greater than S$100,000, with the same interested person during the same financial

year) is equal to or exceeds 5.0% of OUE C-REIT’s latest audited NTA, Unitholders’

approval is required in respect of the transaction. Based on the FY 2014 Audited

Financial Statements, the audited NTA of OUE C-REIT was S$945.2 million as at 31

45

Page 58: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

December 2014. Accordingly, if the value of a transaction which is proposed to be

entered into in the current financial year by OUE C-REIT with an interested person is,

either in itself or in aggregation with all other earlier transactions (each of a value

equal to or greater than S$100,000) entered into with the same interested person

during the current financial year, equal to or in excess of S$47.3 million, such a

transaction would be subject to Unitholders’ approval. Given the expected Purchase

Consideration of approximately S$1,034.0 million for a 75.0% indirect interest in

OUBC (which is 109.4% of the audited NTA of OUE C-REIT as at 31 December 2014),

the value of the proposed Acquisition exceeds the said threshold and hence the

proposed Acquisition is subject to the approval of the Unitholders pursuant to Rule

906(1)(a) of the Listing Manual.

Paragraph 5 of the Property Funds Appendix also imposes a requirement for

Unitholders’ approval for an interested party transaction by OUE C-REIT whose value

exceeds 5.0% of OUE C-REIT’s latest audited NAV. Based on the FY 2014 Audited

Financial Statements, the audited NAV of OUE C-REIT was S$957.8 million as at 31

December 2014. Accordingly, if the value of a transaction which is proposed to be

entered into by OUE C-REIT with an interested party is equal to or greater than S$47.9

million, such a transaction would be subject to Unitholders’ approval. Given the

expected Purchase Consideration of approximately S$1,034.0 million for a 75.0%

indirect interest in OUBC (which is 108.0% of the audited NAV of OUE C-REIT as at

31 December 2014), the value of the proposed Acquisition exceeds the said threshold.

As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Sponsor holds, through its wholly-owned

subsidiaries CDPL and the Manager, an aggregate interest in 422,018,928 Units,

which is equivalent to approximately 48.3% of the total number of Units in issue, and

is therefore regarded as a “controlling Unitholder” of OUE C-REIT under both the

Listing Manual and the Property Funds Appendix. In addition, as the Manager is a

wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sponsor, the Sponsor is therefore regarded as a

“controlling shareholder” of the Manager under both the Listing Manual and the

Property Funds Appendix.

As the Sponsor is the vendor of BPHPL under the SPA, for the purposes of Chapter

9 of the Listing Manual and Paragraph 5 of the Property Funds Appendix, the Sponsor

(being a “controlling Unitholder” and a “controlling shareholder” of the Manager) is (for

the purposes of the Listing Manual) an “interested person” and (for the purposes of the

Property Funds Appendix) an “interested party” of OUE C-REIT.

Therefore, the proposed Acquisition will constitute an “interested person transaction”

under Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual as well as an “interested party transaction”

under the Property Funds Appendix, in respect of which the approval of Unitholders is

required.

Details of the interested person transactions entered into between (1) OUE C-REIT

and (2) the Sponsor and its subsidiaries and associates, during the course of the

current financial year up to the Latest Practicable Date (“Existing Interested Person

Transactions”), which are the subject of aggregation pursuant to Rule 906 of the

Listing Manual, may be found in Appendix H of this Circular.

6.2.4 Advice of the IFA

The Manager has appointed the IFA to advise the Independent Directors, the Audit and

Risk Committee and the Trustee in relation to the proposed Acquisition and the

proposed CPPU Issue. A copy of the IFA Letter, containing its advice in full, is set out

in Appendix E of this Circular and Unitholders are advised to read the IFA Letter

carefully.

Having considered the factors and the assumptions set out in the IFA Letter, and

subject to the qualifications set out therein, the IFA is of the opinion that each of the

proposed Acquisition and the proposed CPPU Issue is based on normal commercial

terms and is not prejudicial to the interests of OUE C-REIT and its minority

Unitholders.

The IFA is of the opinion that the Independent Directors can recommend that

Unitholders vote in favour of the resolution in connection with the proposed Acquisition

and the proposed CPPU Issue to be proposed at the EGM.

6.2.5 Interests of Directors and Substantial Unitholders

6.2.6 Directors’ Service Contracts

No person is proposed to be appointed as a director of the Manager in connection with

7. RECOMMENDATIONS

7.1 On Resolution 1: The Proposed Acquisition and the Proposed CPPU Issue

Based on the opinion of the IFA (as set out in the IFA Letter in Appendix E of this Circular)

and the rationale for the proposed Transactions as set out in paragraph 4 above, the

Independent Directors and the Audit and Risk Committee believe that the proposed

Acquisition and the proposed CPPU Issue are based on normal commercial terms and would

not be prejudicial to the interests of OUE C-REIT or its Unitholders.

Accordingly, the Independent Directors recommend that the Unitholders vote at the EGM in

favour of Resolution 1 relating to the proposed Acquisition and the proposed CPPU Issue.

7.2 On Resolution 2: The Proposed Trust Deed Supplement for the Issue of Preferred Units

Having considered the rationale for the proposed Trust Deed Supplement as set out in

paragraph 3 above, the Directors believe that the proposed Trust Deed Supplement would be

beneficial to, and is in the interests of, OUE C-REIT and its Unitholders.

Accordingly, the Directors recommend that the Unitholders vote at the EGM in favour of

Resolution 2 relating to the proposed Trust Deed Supplement.

8. EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING

The EGM will be held on Monday, 27 July 2015 at Marina Mandarin Singapore, Marina

9. ABSTENTIONS FROM VOTING

Rule 919 of the Listing Manual prohibits interested persons and their associates from voting

on a resolution in relation to a matter in respect of which such persons are interested in at

the EGM.

Given that (i) the SPA will be entered into with the Sponsor and (ii) the CPPUs will be issued

to the Sponsor as partial consideration of the Purchase Consideration, the Sponsor will

abstain, and will ensure that its subsidiaries and associates (as defined in the Listing

Manual) (including the Manager), will abstain from voting on Resolution 1 at the EGM. For

the purposes of good corporate governance, Mr Christopher James Williams (being a

director of the Sponsor) will abstain from voting at the EGM on Resolution 1.

10. ACTIONS TO BE TAKEN BY UNITHOLDERS

Unitholders will find enclosed in this Circular the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting

and a Proxy Form.

If a Unitholder is unable to attend the EGM and wishes to appoint a proxy to attend and vote

on his behalf, he should complete, sign and return the enclosed Proxy Form in accordance

with the instructions printed thereon as soon as possible and, in any event, so as to reach

the Unit Registrar and Unit Transfer Office, Boardroom Corporate & Advisory Services Pte.

Ltd., 50 Raffles Place, #32-01 Singapore Land Tower, Singapore 048623, not later than

Saturday, 25 July 2015 at 2.00 p.m., being 48 hours before the time fixed for the EGM. The

completion and return of the Proxy Form by a Unitholder will not prevent him from attending

and voting in person if he so wishes.

Persons who have an interest in the approval of the resolutions (such as the Sponsor and its

subsidiaries and associates (including the Manager)) must decline to accept appointment as

proxies unless the Unitholder concerned has specific instructions in his Proxy Form as to the

manner in which his votes are to be cast in respect of the resolutions.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

The value of Units and the income derived from them may fall as well as rise. Units are not

obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed by, the Manager or any of its affiliates. An

investment in Units is subject to 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 is intended that Unitholders may only deal in their Units through trading on the

SGX-ST. Listing of the Units on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units.

The past performance of OUE C-REIT is not necessarily indicative of the future performance

of OUE C-REIT.

This Circular may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties.

Actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed

in forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risks, uncertainties and

assumptions. Representative examples of these factors include (without limitation) general

industry and economic conditions, interest rate trends, cost of capital and capital availability,

competition from similar developments, shifts in expected levels of property rental income,

changes in operating expenses (including employee wages, benefits and training costs),

property expenses and governmental and public policy changes. You are cautioned not to

place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on the

Manager’s current view of future events.

1. Assumptions

The major assumptions made in preparing the Profit Forecast are set out below. The

Manager considers these assumptions to be appropriate and reasonable at the date of this

Circular.

1.1 Gross Revenue for the Properties

1.1.1 Gross Revenue

Gross revenue comprises the following:

(i) gross rental income which consist of base rental income, turnover rent and

service fee income (“Gross Rental Income”);

(ii) other property related income derived from the properties; and

(iii) net of 5.65% business tax and surcharges for Lippo Plaza.

For the Existing Portfolio, the gross revenue is forecasted to be S$19.7 million for the

Forecast Period for both scenarios.

The percentage of projected Gross Rental Income attributable to committed leases

(including legally binding letters of offer which have been accepted) for the Existing

Portfolio as at 31 March 2015 are estimated as follows:

Percentage of Gross Rental Income

attributable to committed leases (%) Existing Portfolio

OUE Bayfront 95.6%

Lippo Plaza 92.2%

C-3

Page 156: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

Following the expiry of a committed lease, the Manager has used the following

process to forecast the gross rent for the period following such expiry:

(i) The Manager has assessed the market rent for each portion of lettable area as

at 31 March 2015. The market rent is the rent which the Manager believes could

be achieved if each lease was renegotiated as at 31 March 2015 and is

estimated with reference to (a) gross rent payable pursuant to comparable

leases for tenancies that have recently been negotiated, (b) the effect of

competing retail and office properties, (c) assumed tenant retention rates on

lease expiry, (d) likely market conditions, (e) inflation levels and (f) tenant

demand levels.

(ii) If a committed lease expires in the Forecast Period, the Manager has assumed

that the rental rates payable under the new lease (or lease renewal) will be the

market rent, or the actual rent committed (if the lease agreement or letter of

offer has been entered into).

For One Raffles Place, the gross revenue is forecasted to be S$20.5 million. The

Manager has assumed the market rent, which the Manager believes could be

achieved and is estimated with reference to (a) the effect of competing office and

retail properties, (b) assumed tenant retention rates on lease expiry, (c) likely market

conditions, (d) inflation levels and (e) tenant demand levels.

1.1.2 Vacancy Allowance

For leases expiring during the Forecast Period, where the actual vacancy period are

already known pursuant to commitment to leases which are in place as at 31 March

2015, the actual vacancy periods have been used in the forecast.

For the leases expiring during the Forecast Period which are assumed not to be

renewed, it has been assumed that these leases will experience a vacancy period of

between 2.0 to 6.0 months for OUE Bayfront and Lippo Plaza and 6.0 months for One

Raffles Place before rent becomes payable under a new lease.

1.1.3 Other Income earned from the Properties

Other income comprises car park revenue, and other income attributable to the

operation of the Properties, including items such as license fees, profit rent,

temporary air-conditioning and chilled water supply. The assessment of other income

is based on existing agreements, historical income collections and the Manager’s

assessment of the properties.

1.2 Property Operating Expenses

Property operating expenses consist of property-related taxes, property management fee,

centre management fee and other property expenses (including operating and maintenance

expenses, energy and utilities expenses and marketing expenses) relating to the

properties. The assumptions made in calculating the property operating expense are set out

below:

1.2.1 Property-related Taxes

Property-related taxes have been estimated based on the assumptions below:

(i) OUE Bayfront: property tax is payable at 10.0% of the annual value of the

property and income support from OUE Limited.

C-4

Page 157: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

(ii) Lippo Plaza: real estate tax will remain at 12.0% of the gross rental income and

other income.

(iii) One Raffles Place: property tax is payable at 10.0% of the Manager’s estimate

of the annual value of the Property.

1.2.2 Property Management Fee

For OUE Bayfront, the property manager is entitled to the following fees:

(i) 2.0% per annum of gross revenue in respect of property management services

(ii) 2.0% per annum of net property income (calculated before accounting for the

property management fee in that financial period) in respect of property

management services

(iii) 0.5% per annum of the net property income (calculated before accounting for

the property management fee in that financial period) in respect of leasing

management services

No property management fee is payable for Lippo Plaza and One Raffles Place.

1.2.3 Centre Management Fee

For each of Lippo Plaza and One Raffles Place, there is a team dedicated to the

management of the property. Centre management fee relates to the salaries and

related expenses to these dedicated teams. These expenses are estimated after

taking into consideration the actual historical fees, and expected inflation.

1.2.4 Other property operating expenses

Operating and maintenance expenses relate to costs incurred for the upkeep of the

properties, including cleaning, security, repair and maintenance, insurance as well as

other general and administrative expenses. These expenses are estimated after

taking into consideration the actual historical operating and maintenance costs, and

expected inflation.

Energy and utilities costs are estimated based on the historical rates, expected rate

increments and expected utilisation.

Marketing expenses relate to the costs incurred in marketing, advertising and

promoting the properties. Such expenses are estimated after taking into

consideration the actual historical expenses and expected inflation.

For Lippo Plaza and One Raffles Place, there is an additional leasing commission

expense applicable to each new tenant leased up payable to the respective letting

agent, for an amount of between 1.0 to 1.25 months of contracted rental income.

1.3 Other Income

Other income comprises income support relating to the top-up payments from the Sponsor.

Under the deed of income support entered into with the Sponsor (“Deed of Income

Support”), the Sponsor will provide income support to OUE C-REIT for a period of up to five

years from 27 January 2014 in respect of OUE Bayfront. The income support is calculated

C-5

Page 158: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

as the shortfall between the target gross rental income of OUE Bayfront in each quarter as

set out in the Deed of Income Support and the actual gross rental income. The Manager has

projected an income support amount of S$2.2 million for the Forecast Period.

1.4 Amortisation of Intangible Asset

Intangible asset represents the unamortised income support receivable by OUE C-REIT

from the Sponsor pursuant to the Deed of Income Support as described in Section 1.3. The

amortisation of the intangible asset represents the amortisation of the asset over its

estimated useful life. The amortisation expense does not have impact on the amount

available for distribution to Unitholders.

1.5 Manager’s Management Fees

The base fee is 0.3% per annum on the value of the gross assets of OUE C-REIT and the

performance fee is 25.0% per annum of the difference in DPU in a financial year with the

DPU in the preceding full financial year (calculated before accounting for the performance

fee but after accounting for the base fee in each financial year) multiplied by the weighted

average number of units in issue for such financial year. The Manager has opted to receive

payment in Units for the Forecast Period.

The Manager has assumed that there is no performance fee payable for the financial year

ending 31 December 2015.

1.6 Other Expenses

Other expenses include recurring operating expenses such as annual listing fees, auditing

and tax advisers’ fees, registry fees, valuation costs, costs associated with the preparation

and distribution of reports to Unitholders, investor communication costs, debt facility agent

fees, credit rating maintenance fees, operating costs for OUE C-REIT Group and other

miscellaneous expenses. These expenses are estimated after taking into consideration the

actual historical operating costs, and expected inflation.

1.7 Finance Costs

As at the Latest Practicable Date, OUE C-REIT has put in the place the following secured

facilities:

(i) term loan facilities with loan maturities of three to five years of S$580.0 million,

comprising (a) a five-year term loan facility of S$280.0 million and (b) a three-year

term loan facility of S$300.0 million,

(ii) revolving credit facility, comprising a three-year revolving credit facility of S$100.0

million, and

(iii) term loan facility for Lippo Plaza, with a loan maturity of three years of RMB248.9

million.

The Manager intends to put in place, on a secured basis, a senior term loan facility with loan

maturity of three years of between S$333.3 million and S$399.3 million to finance the

proposed Acquisition of the indirect interest in OUBC.

An existing S$370.0 million secured three-year senior term loan facility has been put in

place in OUBC.

C-6

Page 159: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

The Manager has also entered into derivative instruments of varying tenures to fix the

interest that is payable under the current facilities. The Manager has assumed an average

cost of debt of about 3.54% and 3.56% for the loans of OUE C-REIT Group, inclusive of the

cost of derivative instruments, for Scenario A and B respectively.

1.8 Income Tax Expense

The following taxes have been taken into account in the Forecast Period:

(i) 17% tax on the net profit of OUBC;

(ii) 10% PRC withholding tax;

(iii) 25% PRC deferred tax; and

(iv) 25% PRC income tax.

1.9 Capital Expenditure

The table below sets out the projected capital expenditure for the properties which is

projected based on the proposed asset enhancement works and the Manager’s estimated

cost to be incurred for improvement works.

1.10 Investment Properties

For the Forecast Period, it has been assumed that the valuation of the Existing Portfolio will

remain unchanged from those as of 31 December 2014, except to the extent of the capital

expenditure incurred as described in Section 1.9. It is assumed that the valuation of the

OUBC Interest of S$1,734 million is based on the valuation as at 5 June 2015 except to the

extent of the capital expenditure to be incurred as described in Section 1.9. These

assumptions are made when estimating the value of the Deposited Property for the

purposes of forecasting the base component of the asset management fees and Trustee’s

fees.

1.11 Rights Issue

The Profit Forecast has been prepared based on the Rights Issue Price of S$0.555 per new

Unit issued under the Rights Issue and on the assumption that the proceeds from the Rights

Issue will be used to part finance the proposed Acquisition.

The costs associated with the Rights Issue are expected to be S$9.7 million and will be paid

by OUE C-REIT on completion of the Rights Issue. These costs will be charged against

Unitholders’ funds in OUE C-REIT’s statement of financial position and have no impact on

its net income or distribution income.

Dear Sirs

Letter from the Independent Accountants on the profit forecast for the period from 1

October 2015 to 31 December 2015

This letter has been prepared for inclusion in the circular of OUE Commercial Real Estate

Investment Trust (“OUE C-REIT”) dated 1 July 2015 (the “Circular”) in connection with the

proposed acquisition of an indirect interest in One Raffles Place.

The directors of OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. (the “Directors”) are responsible for

the preparation and presentation of the forecast statement of total return of the OUE C-REIT and

its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the period from 1 October 2015 to 31 December 2015 (the “Profit

Forecast”) as set out on pages C-2 and C-3 in Appendix C of the Circular, which has been

prepared on the basis of the assumptions set out on pages C-3 to C-8 in Appendix C of the

Circular (the “Assumptions”).

We have examined the Profit Forecast of the Group for the period from 1 October 2015 to 31

December 2015 as set out on pages C-2 and C-3 in Appendix C of the Circular in accordance with

Singapore Standard on Assurance Engagements 3400 The Examination of Prospective Financial

Information. The Directors are solely responsible for the Profit Forecast including the Assumptions

set out on pages C-3 to C-8 in Appendix C of the Circular on which they are based.

Based on our examination of the evidence supporting the relevant Assumptions, nothing has come

to our attention which causes us to believe that the Assumptions do not provide a reasonable

basis for the Profit Forecast. Further, in our opinion the Profit Forecast, so far as the accounting

policies and calculations are concerned, is properly prepared on the basis of the Assumptions, is

consistent with the accounting policies normally adopted by OUE C-REIT, and is presented in

accordance with the relevant presentation principles of Recommended Accounting Practice 7

Reporting Framework for Unit Trusts (but not all the required disclosures for the purpose of this

letter) issued by the Institute of Singapore Chartered Accountants, which is the framework

adopted by the Group in the preparation of its financial statements.

Events and circumstances frequently do not occur as expected. Even if the events anticipated

under the hypothetical assumptions occur, actual results are still likely to be different from the

Profit Forecast since other anticipated events frequently do not occur as expected and the

variation may be material. The actual results may therefore differ materially from that forecast. For

the reasons set out above, we do not express any opinion as to the possibility of achievement of

the Profit Forecast.

Attention is drawn, in particular, to the sensitivity analysis of the Profit Forecast set out on pages

C-9 and C-10 in Appendix C of the Circular.

Dear Sirs

THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION OF AN INDIRECT INTEREST IN ONE RAFFLES PLACE AND

THE PROPOSED CPPU ISSUE

For the purpose of this letter, capitalised terms not otherwise defined shall have the meaning

given to them in the circular dated 1 July 2015 to the unitholders of OUE Commercial Real Estate

Investment Trust (the “Circular”).

1. INTRODUCTION

OUE Commercial Real Estate Investment Trust (“OUE C-REIT”) is a real estate

investment trust listed on the Main Board of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading

Limited (the “SGX-ST”). OUE C-REIT is established with the principal investment strategy

of investing, directly or indirectly, in a portfolio of income-producing real estate used

primarily for commercial purposes (including real estate used primarily for office and/or

retail purposes) in financial and business hubs within and outside of Singapore, as well as

real estate-related assets. OUE C-REIT is managed by OUE Commercial REIT

Management Pte. Ltd. (the “Manager”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of OUE Limited (the

“Sponsor”).

1.1. The Proposed Acquisition

The Manager of OUE C-REIT proposes to acquire an indirect interest in One Raffles Place

(the “Property”) from the Sponsor through the acquisition of the entire issued share

capital of Beacon Property Holdings Pte. Ltd. (“BPHPL”), which holds a percentage of the

issued share capital in OUB Centre Limited (“OUBC”) (the “Proposed Acquisition”). The

Property is an integrated commercial development comprising One Raffles Place Tower 1,

One Raffles Place Tower 2 and One Raffles Place Shopping Mall, with approximately

860,000 sq feet (“sq ft”) of aggregate net lettable area (“NLA”). One Raffles Place Tower

1 was completed in 1986 and is one of the tallest buildings in the Singapore CBD. It

comprises a 62-storey Grade-A office building with a rooftop restaurant and observation

E-1

Page 166: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

deck. One Raffles Place Tower 2, which is a new tower completed in 2012, is a 38-storey

Grade-A office building. It has been awarded the Platinum Green Mark Award by the

Building and Construction Authority for its energy efficiency and environmentally

sustainable design. One Raffles Place Shopping Mall is a six-storey retail podium that has

undergone refurbishment works which were completed in May 2014. It is the largest

purpose-built shopping mall in Raffles Place, accounting for about 10% of existing retail

stock in the CBD1. Its basement level is seamlessly linked to the Raffles Place MRT

interchange station via an underground pedestrian walkway. The Property has a total of

326 basement car park lots.

OUBC is the registered owner of the Property and it owns 81.54% of the beneficial interest

in the Property for itself (the “OUBC Interest”), with the remaining 18.46% interest being

held by OUBC on trust for an unrelated third party. The Sponsor and its wholly-owned

subsidiary BPHPL collectively hold a 50.0% interest in OUBC. The remaining 50.0%

interest is held by several third parties, including the Kuwait Investment Office (“KIO”),

which holds a 33.33% interest in OUBC.

Pursuant to an agreement entered into between the Sponsor, BPHPL and KIO on 10 June

2015 in relation to KIO’s divestment of its 33.33% interest in OUBC (the “Framework

Agreement”), BPHPL will acquire an additional interest in OUBC of a minimum of 25.0%

and up to a maximum of 33.33%. This is because pursuant to the articles of association

of OUBC, if a shareholder wishes to divest its shares (the “Divested Shares”), the

remaining shareholders are entitled to acquire the Divested Shares pro rata in accordance

with their existing shareholding. Upon KIO giving notice of its intention to dispose of its

33.33% interest, BPHPL would have a pro rata entitlement to acquire a 25.0% interest in

OUBC2, bringing its total interest in OUBC to 75.0%. If the remaining shareholders do not

exercise their entitlement to acquire the Divested Shares, then BPHPL would be able to

acquire up to a maximum of 33.33% interest in OUBC2 bringing its total interest in OUBC

to 83.33%. Therefore, the final purchase consideration shall be determined based on the

amount of the OUBC shares to be acquired by BPHPL, which is between 75.0% to 83.33%

of the OUBC shares (the “Purchase Consideration”).

Based on the acquisition of a 75.0% to 83.33% of OUBC Interest, OUE C-REIT shall

acquire BPHPL for the expected Purchase Consideration of S$1,034.0 million to

S$1,148.8 million, respectively. The expected Purchase Consideration assumes the

Proposed Acquisition is completed on 1 October 2015, BPHPL Group’s expected net asset

value (“NAV”) as at 30 September 2015 and the repayment of shareholder’s loan which

shall be extended by the Sponsor to BPHPL for the acquisition of the Divested Shares,

details of which are set out in Section 3.2.2 of this letter.

1.2. The Proposed Transactions

The Proposed Acquisition will be satisfied by a combination of debt and equity financing,

including the proposed convertible perpetual preferred units issue (the “Proposed CPPU

Issue”) and the proposed rights issue (the “Rights Issue”). The Proposed Acquisition, the

CPPU Issue and the Rights Issue are collectively, the “Proposed Transactions”. The

Sponsor, through its subsidiaries and the Manager, is regarded as “controlling Unitholder”

of OUE C-REIT under the Listing Manual of the SGX-ST (the “Listing Manual”) and the

Property Funds Appendix. In addition, as the Manager is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the

Sponsor, the Sponsor is therefore regarded as a “controlling shareholder” of the Manager

1 Source: The independent market research report dated 24 April 2015 by DTZ Debenham Tie Leung (SEA) Pte Ltd.

2 BPHPL currently holds a 45.0% interest in OUBC. The Sponsor holds the remaining 5.0% interest in OUBC and will

transfer such interest to BPHPL prior to completion of the Proposed Acquisition. Upon the transfer of the Sponsor’s

5.0% interest in OUBC to BPHPL, BPHPL would have (i) a pro rata entitlement to acquire a 25.0% interest in OUBC

and (ii) the ability to acquire the maximum of 33.33% interest in OUBC.

Page 167: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

under both the Listing Manual and the Property Funds Appendix. As the Sponsor is the

vendor of BPHPL under the sale and purchase agreement (“SPA”), for the purposes of

Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual and Paragraph 5 of the Property Funds Appendix, the

Sponsor (being a “controlling Unitholder” and a “controlling shareholder” of the Manager)

is (for the purposes of the Listing Manual) an “interested person” and (for the purposes of

the Property Funds Appendix) as “interested party” of OUE C-REIT.

Therefore, the Proposed Acquisition will constitute an Interested Person Transaction

under Chapter 9 of the Listing Manual, as well as an Interested Party Transaction under

the Property Funds Appendix.

We, Deloitte & Touche Corporate Finance Pte Ltd (“DTCF”), have been appointed as

independent financial adviser (“IFA”) to the Independent Directors, the Audit and Risk

Committee and the Trustee in respect of whether the Proposed Acquisition and the

Proposed CPPU Issue are on normal commercial terms and not prejudicial to the interests

of OUE C-REIT and its minority Unitholders.

This letter, which sets out our evaluation for the Independent Directors and the Audit and

Risk Committee in respect of this engagement, is an integral part of the Circular.

2. TERMS OF REFERENCE

Our responsibility is to provide our opinion in respect to the Proposed Acquisition and the

Proposed CPPU Issue.

We were neither a party to the negotiations entered into in relation to the Proposed

Transactions, nor were we involved in the deliberations leading up to the decision on the

part of the Directors to enter into the Proposed Transactions.

We do not, by this letter or otherwise, advise or form any judgement on the strategic or

commercial merits or risks of the Proposed Transactions. All such evaluations, advice,

judgements or comments remain the sole responsibility of the Directors and their advisors.

We have however drawn upon such evaluations, judgements and comments as we deem

necessary and appropriate in arriving at our opinion.

The scope of our appointment does not require us to express, and nor do we express, a

view on the future growth prospects, earnings potential or value of OUE C-REIT. We do not

express any view as to the price at which the Units may trade upon completion of the

Proposed Transactions nor on the future value, financial performance or condition of OUE

C-REIT after the Proposed Transactions.

It is also not within our terms of reference to compare the merits of the Proposed

Transactions to any alternative transactions that were or may have been available to OUE

C-REIT. Such comparison and consideration remain the responsibility of the Directors and

their advisors.

In the course of our evaluation, we have held discussions with the management of the

Manager, and have considered the information contained in the Circular, publicly available

information collated by us as well as information, both written and verbal, provided to us

by the management. We have relied upon and assumed the accuracy of the relevant

independently verified such information, whether written or verbal, and accordingly cannot

and do not warrant, and do not accept any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness

and adequacy of such information. We have not independently verified and have assumed

applicable) prevailing on and our analysis of the information made available to us as at the

Practicable Date that may affect our opinion or factors or assumptions contained herein.

The Unitholders should take note of any announcements relevant to their considerations

of the Proposed Transactions which may be released by OUE C-REIT after the Latest

Practicable Date.

OUE C-REIT has been separately advised by its own legal advisor in the preparation of the

Circular other than this letter. We have had no role or involvement and have not provided

any advice whatsoever in the preparation, review and verification of the Circular other than

this letter. Accordingly, we take no responsibility for, and express no views, whether

express or implied, on the contents of the Circular except for this letter.

Our opinion in relation to the Proposed Acquisition and the Proposed CPPU Issue should

be considered in the context of the entirety of this letter and Circular. While a copy of this

letter may be reproduced in the Circular, OUE C-REIT may not reproduce, disseminate or

herein, without our prior written consent in each instance.

We have not had regard to the general or specific investment objectives, financial

situation, tax position, risk profiles or unique needs and constraints of any Unitholder. As

the Unitholders will have different investment objectives, we advise the Independent

Directors to recommend that any Unitholder who may require specific advice in relation to

his or her specific investment objectives or portfolio should consult his or her stockbroker,

bank manager, solicitor, accountant, tax advisor or other professional advisors.

A detailed description of One Raffles Place is set out in Section 2.1 of the Letter to

Unitholders in the Circular.

works which were completed in May 2014. Its basement level is seamlessly linked to the

Raffles Place MRT interchange station via an underground pedestrian walkway. The

Property has a total of 326 basement car park lots.

3.2. Key Terms of the Proposed Acquisition

3.2.1. Details of the Proposed Acquisition

Details of the Proposed Acquisition structure are set out in Section 2.1.2 of the Letter to

Unitholders in the Circular. We recommend that the Independent Directors advise the

Unitholders to read this section of the Circular carefully.

On 10 June 2015, the Trustee entered into conditional SPA with OUE to acquire the entire

issued share capital of BPHPL. This was arrived at on a willing-buyer and willing-seller

basis, taking into account the independent valuations of the Independent Valuers.

The principal terms of the SPA are set out in Section 2.1.6 of the Letter to Unitholders in

the Circular.

3.2.2. The Purchase Consideration

The Purchase Consideration payable to the Sponsor in connection with the Proposed

Acquisition shall be the NAV of BPHPL Group after taking into account the agreed value

of S$1,715.0 million for the OUBC Interest (comprising 81.54% interest in the Property)

and the shareholder’s loan to be repaid by BPHPL upon completion of the Proposed

Acquisition. The Purchase Consideration shall be paid to the Sponsor in a combination of

cash and CPPUs. The Purchase Consideration has been negotiated on a willing-buyer

and willing-seller basis, after taking into account the independent valuations of the

Independent Valuers.

The agreed value for 75.0% of the OUBC Interest is S$1,286.3 million and the agreed

value for 83.33% of the OUBC Interest is S$1,429.2 million.

Assuming that:

Acquisition (excluding the Acquisition Fee payable in Units) through a combination of debt

and equity financing, including the Proposed CPPU Issue and the Rights Issue.

4. EVALUATION OF THE PROPOSED ACQUISITION AND THE PROPOSED CPPU ISSUE

In reaching our recommendation in respect of the Proposed Acquisition and the Proposed

CPPU Issue, we have given due consideration to the following factors:

(i) the rationale for and the benefits of the Proposed Acquisition and the Proposed

CPPU Issue;

(ii) the valuations of OUBC Interest in One Raffles Place prepared by the Independent

Valuers;

(iii) comparison with relevant past transactions in Singapore;

(iv) comparison with recent valuations of comparable properties in Singapore;

(v) terms of the CPPUs;

(vi) recent convertible financial instruments issued by Singapore listed real estate

companies;

(vii) redemption review process of the CPPUs; and

(viii) pro forma financial effects of the Proposed Transactions.

4.1. The rationale for and the benefits of the Proposed Acquisition and the Proposed

CPPU Issue

The Manager’s views of the key benefits of the Proposed Acquisition and the Proposed

CPPU Issue are set out in Section 4 of the Letter to Unitholders in the Circular. We

recommend that the Independent Directors advise the Unitholders to read this section of

the Circular carefully.

We have reproduced below excerpts of this section in respect of the Proposed Acquisition

and the Proposed CPPU Issue:

4.1 Acquisition of a majority interest in a landmark commercial property in the

Singapore CBD

The proposed Acquisition represents a unique opportunity for OUE C-REIT to acquire

a majority interest in One Raffles Place. It is expected to increase OUE C-REIT’s

exposure to its core Singapore office market and the Property possesses the

following competitive strengths arising from its positioning as a Grade-A commercial

property;

(i) it is strategically located in the heart of Raffles Place, which is in the traditional

financial and business hub within Singapore’s CBD. Raffles Place is perceived

as the most accessible office location within the CBD, and is expected to remain

as a focal point of the CBD even with the expansion of the Marina Bay precinct,

with One Raffles Place’s strategic location being a strong pull-factor for existing

and prospective tenants.

One Raffles Place is situated above and linked to the Raffles Place MRT

interchange station, one of Singapore’s major MRT interchange stations, via

underground pedestrian access through the basement of its retail podium which

is also connected to a comprehensive underground network of pedestrian

E-7

walkways linking to other developments within Raffles Place as well as Marina

Bay. The Property also enjoys enhanced accessibility to other parts of

Singapore via its proximity to the Marina Coastal Expressway, the Central

Expressway and the East Coast Parkway;

(ii) it is a prominent iconic development with Grade-A building specifications. One

Raffles Place Tower 1 comprises a 62-storey office tower and is one of the

tallest buildings in the CBD, with its upper levels enjoying a 360-degree

panoramic view of the city. One Raffles Place Shopping Mall, a six-storey retail

podium that has undergone refurbishment works recently, faces the entire

length of the Raffles Place Park, within the very heart of Raffles Place. As the

largest purpose-built shopping mall in Raffles Place, it offers a diverse range of

shopping, dining and leisure options catering to the needs of the working

population in the CBD. The main anchor tenants of One Raffles Place Shopping

Mall include H&M, Uniqlo and other well-known local and international brand

names such as Paris Baguette Café, The Hour Glass, Pandora and Tumi;

(iii) The two office towers offer quality and efficient column-free office space with

regular floor plates. As a result, the Property enjoys an established blue-chip

tenant base which include reputable banking, insurance, financial, information

and technology, media and telecommunications companies and multi-national

corporations (“MNCs”). Key tenants include Petrobras Singapore Pte Ltd, Alipay

Singapore E-commerce Private Limited, Virgin Active Singapore Pte Ltd,

Pramerica Investment Management (Singapore) Pte Ltd and China Merchant

Bank Co. Ltd;

(iv) One Raffles Place Tower 2 has been accredited with the prestigious BCA Green

Mark Platinum Certification for its environmentally sustainable features, and

such accreditation is increasingly sought after by blue-chip tenants and MNCs

when sourcing potential office space; and

(v) The Property is situated primarily on three land plots with three different tenures

with remaining long land leases of about 812 years, 69 years and 67 years

respectively, translating to a remaining weighted average land lease expiry (by

value) of 435 years. The long land leases provide an attractive investment

opportunity and the proposed Acquisition is expected to increase the remaining

land lease expiry of OUE C-REIT, from its current remaining weighted average

land lease expiry of approximately 72 years to 258 years, which is

approximately 3.6 times from its current remaining weighted average land lease

expiry.

4.2 Acquisition of a quality commercial property at an attractive price

4.3 Favourable growth profile from potential increase in occupancy, positive rental

reversion and limited new office supply in Raffles Place

According to the Independent Market Research Report, rents for Grade-A office

buildings in Raffles Place, especially those which are well-located e.g. with direct

access to the MRT station, are expected to be relatively resilient, given that there are

no known premium and Grade-A office developments expected to be completed in

the area from 2015 to 2018. In addition, existing Grade-A offices in Raffles Place are

uniquely positioned, offering mainly mid-sized floor plates (typically at around 10,000

sq ft), compared with recent and future office developments that offer floor plates of

20,000 sq ft and above.

Many companies in Singapore continue to favour the CBD as a choice location, with

Raffles Place widely regarded as the most established business location within the

CBD. Offices with mid-sized floor plates in Raffles Place offer a strong value

proposition to these companies. Coupled with the growing diversity of tenants in the

CBD, the demand for mid-sized floor plates in Raffles Place is expected to remain

relatively firm. Despite the development of Marina Bay, Raffles Place continues to be

perceived as the most accessible location in the CBD. As at 1Q 2015, the

Independent Market Research Consultant estimates the average office rent in Marina

Bay to be 20% higher than that in Raffles Place, providing a strong value proposition

for businesses to be located in Raffles Place.

Based on the Independent Market Research Report, the current office occupancy

rate of One Raffles Place is estimated to be about 85.0% to 90.0%, as compared to

the average occupancy rate for Grade-A offices in Raffles Place in 1Q 2015 of about

97.2%. Based on the above occupancy estimates, there is potential for One Raffles

Place to increase its occupancy rate by about 7 to 12 percentage points to reach an

occupancy level in line with the market.

to S$10.00 psf per month, compared to the average rent for Grade-A offices in

estimates, OUE C-REIT can potentially achieve positive rental reversion to market

rents of between 15% to 21%.

4.4 Achievement of transformational scale for OUE C-REIT through the proposed

Acquisition which will significantly enlarge the size of its portfolio and

strengthen its competitive position in Singapore

Following the completion of the proposed Acquisition, OUE C-REIT’s assets-under-

management (“AUM”) is expected to increase from S$1,630.6 million (as at 31

December 2014) to S$3,364.6 million, representing an increase of 106.3%.

The larger asset base post-Acquisition is expected to enhance OUE C-REIT’s overall

capital management flexibility. With a larger asset base, OUE C-REIT will have

greater debt headroom before reaching the aggregate leverage limit under the

Property Funds Appendix (which is with reference to OUE C-REIT’s Deposited

Property). A larger asset base will also support more equity issuances by OUE

C-REIT in future. These will, in turn, facilitate future acquisitions and asset

enhancement initiatives to be undertaken by OUE C-REIT.

Further, the proposed Acquisition is expected to increase OUE C-REIT’s proportion

of Singapore AUM from 69.6% to 85.3%, as well as increase the total net lettable

area of OUE C-REIT’s asset portfolio from approximately 825,000 sq ft to 1,545,000

sq ft, thereby enlarging OUE C-REIT’s footprint within the Singapore CBD and

strengthening its competitive position as a landlord in the Singapore office market.

The proposed Acquisition is expected to benefit Unitholders by enhancing the

diversification and resilience of the Existing Portfolio through the following ways:

(i) Increasing OUE C-REIT’s gross revenue contribution denominated in

Singapore dollars

The proposed Acquisition is expected to increase the gross revenue

contribution denominated in Singapore dollars, and in turn reduce the impact of

foreign exchange fluctuations on OUE C-REIT’s total distributable income.

Post-Acquisition, the proportion of gross revenue received by OUE C-REIT

denominated in Singapore dollars is expected to increase from 68.5% to 82.3%

and 83.1% in the Forecast Period after the completion of the proposed

Acquisition of 75.0% and 83.33% indirect interest in OUBC, respectively.

(ii) Reducing the concentration risk of OUE C-REIT’s income stream from any

single property

The proposed Acquisition is expected to enhance OUE C-REIT’s income

diversification and reduce its asset concentration risk. No single property is

expected to account for more than 43.8% to 46.4% of OUE C-REIT’s gross

revenue, after the completion of the proposed Acquisition of 75.0% and 83.33%

indirect interest in OUBC, respectively, compared to 68.5% before the proposed

Acquisition.

Note:

(iii) Enhancing the quality of OUE C-REIT’s tenant base

The proposed Acquisition is expected to enhance the quality of OUE C-REIT’s

tenant base, with the addition of several established MNCs which include

Petrobras Singapore Pte Ltd, Alipay Singapore E-commerce Private Limited,

Virgin Active Singapore Pte Ltd, Pramerica Investment Management

(Singapore) Pte Ltd and China Merchant Bank Co. Ltd, thereby adding to OUE

C-REIT’s existing core of blue chip tenants. The stronger and more diverse

tenant base is also expected to improve the resilience of OUE C-REIT’s

cashflows.

4.6 Strong support from the Sponsor through the proposed CPPU Issue and its

take-up of the pro rata stake in the Rights Issue

The proposed Acquisition is in line with the Sponsor’s commitment to OUE C-REIT

at the time of its initial public offering, when the Sponsor granted a right of first refusal

to OUE C-REIT for its potential future acquisitions of income-producing real estate

used primarily for commercial purposes. The proposed issuance of the CPPUs to the

Sponsor as part payment for the proposed Acquisition and its undertaking to procure

the Subscribing Entities to take up their full pro rata stake in the Rights Issue will

further align the interests of the Sponsor with that of OUE C-REIT and its Unitholders.

This also demonstrates the Sponsor’s commitment to support OUE C-REIT’s

acquisition growth strategy. Specifically, the Sponsor’s commitment to take up the

CPPUs and to procure the Subscribing Entities’ take-up of their pro rata stake in the

Rights Issue, demonstrates its long-term commitment to grow OUE C-REIT into an

efficient platform for holding commercial properties, with both the Sponsor and the

Manager being incentivised to maximise distributions to Unitholders. The strong

E-13

Page 178: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

support of the Sponsor for the proposed Transactions also reflects its confidence in

the growth prospects in One Raffles Place, underlining its importance as a key asset

in OUE C-REIT’s portfolio.

4.7 Increased market capitalisation and potential increased liquidity through the

Rights Issue

To part finance the proposed Acquisition, up to 393,305,817 new Units will be issued

under the Rights Issue. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the new Units will

constitute 45.0% of the Units in issue. The issue of the new Units is expected to

increase the market capitalisation of OUE C-REIT and may facilitate improvement in

the trading liquidity of Units on the SGX-ST. The Manager believes that the increased

market capitalisation and liquidity would provide OUE C-REIT with increased visibility

within the investment community.

4.8 Diversification of sources of funding

The proposed CPPU issue enables the Manager to widen the pool of capital available

to OUE C-REIT and enhances its financial flexibility. The CPPUs will be treated as

equity of OUE C-REIT and not as borrowings or deferred payments under the

Property Funds Appendix. Therefore, the proposed CPPU Issue will not increase

OUE C-REIT’s aggregate leverage and refinancing risk. Assuming that OUE C-REIT

acquires the maximum 83.33% indirect interest in OUBC, its pro forma aggregate

leverage is expected to be 41.9%1.

In addition, the Manager has the option but not the obligation to redeem the CPPUs.

In this regard, there is no refinancing risk arising from the proposed CPPU Issue as

the CPPU Holder does not have the right to procure the Manager to redeem the

CPPUs.

4.9 Future ordinary equity injection into OUE C-REIT at a premium to the TERP

through the conversion of the CPPUs

The CPPUs are convertible at a premium of 15.0% above the TERP into ordinary

Units after the expiry of the four-year restriction period. In order to ensure an orderly

conversion of the CPPUs, not more than one-third of the CPPUs initially issued shall

be converted in any one year. If the CPPUs are converted, this will allow OUE C-REIT

to issue ordinary equity at a premium to the TERP at announcement of the Rights

Issue.

1 OUE C-REIT’s pro forma aggregate leverage is expected to be 40.9% if it acquires the minimum 75.0% indirect

interest in OUBC.

4.2. The valuations of OUBC Interest in One Raffles Place prepared by the Independent

Valuers

The Trustee has commissioned an independent valuer, Savills and the Manager had

commissioned an independent valuer, Cushman & Wakefield, to value the OUBC Interest.

The appraised value ascribed by the Independent Valuers in respect of the OUBC Interest

are summarised in the table below:

Valuation/

Consideration

(S$ million)

Savills 1,734.0

Cushman & Wakefield 1,733.0

Agreed value for the OUBC Interest 1,715.0

Agreed value for the OUBC Interest

– 75.0% interest in OUBC 1,286.3

– 83.33% interest in OUBC 1,429.2

Expected Purchase Consideration for OUBC Interest1

– 75.0% interest in OUBC 1,034.0

– 83.33% interest in OUBC 1,148.8

Notes:

(1) The expected Purchase Consideration assumes the Proposed Acquisition is completed on 1 October

2015, BPHPL Group’s expected NAV as at 30 September 2015 and repayment of shareholders’ loan which

shall be extended by the Sponsor to BPHPL for the acquisition of the Divested Shares, details of which are

set out in Section 3.2.2 of this letter.

The salient points we highlight from the Valuation Certificates are as follows:

(i) the basis of valuation used is “Market Value”;

(ii) the relevant date for the valuations undertaken by the Savills is 5 June 2015 and the

relevant date for the valuations undertake by Cushman & Wakefield is 5 June 2015;

(iii) the Independent Valuers arrived at their valuations by considering the income

capitalisation approach and market comparison method. Both approaches are widely

accepted methods for the purpose of valuing income producing properties;

(iv) the Independent Valuers arrived at their valuations by relying on, inter alia,

assumptions set out in the Valuation Certificates and their valuation reports; and

(v) the agreed value for the OUBC Interest of S$1,715.0 million is lower than the market

value of S$1,734.0 million and S$1,733.0 million valued by Savills and Cushman &

Wakefield, respectively. The difference between the two independent valuations is

S$1.0 million (or 0.06%).

Further, we note that the market value of One Raffles Place attributable to OUBC as at 31

December 2014 based on information disclosed in the annual report of OUE Limited for

the financial year ended 31 December 2014 is S$1,737.0 million.

4.3. Comparison with relevant past transactions in Singapore

We have identified a list of recent transactions that took place in Singapore for the period

from 1 January 2013 to the Latest Practicable Date for which information is publicly

available and extracted the relevant information from similar commercial properties

transactions in Singapore (“Comparable Transactions”) in order to compare the price per

NLA of One Raffles Place with the Comparable Transactions.

The information in the table below is for illustration purposes only. The commercial

properties which are the subjects of the Comparable Transactions differ from One Raffles

Place in terms of property size and design, property age, location, accessibility, land title,

tenure, revenue mix, market risks, future prospects, operating history, branding and other

relevant criteria. There is no property under the Comparable Transactions which may be

considered identical to One Raffles Place in terms of the abovementioned factors.

For the above reasons, while the Comparable Transactions taken as a whole may provide

a broad and indicative benchmark for assessing the Proposed Acquisition, care has to be

taken in the selection and use of any individual data point for the same purpose.

4.4. Comparison with recent valuations of comparable properties in Singapore

We have compiled information that is publicly available in respect of the recent valuations

of commercial properties (the “Comparable Properties”) in Singapore in order to provide

benchmarks for the net property income (“NPI”) yield and value per NLA implied by the

One Raffles Place Interest Purchase Consideration. The comparison can serve as an

illustrative guide only and must be caveated by the knowledge that One Raffles Place

differs from the Comparable Properties in many aspects, such as location, accessibility,

profile, proximity to major venues and/or attractions, outstanding lease tenure and other

relevant factors.

Notes:

(1) The Property comprised Tower 1 leasehold of 812 years remaining, Tower 2 leasehold of 67 years

remaining, 99-Year leasehold retail podium of 70 years remaining and 841-Year leasehold retail podium

of 812 years remaining.

(2) S$1,715 million is the agreed value of the OUBC Interest.

(3) Net property income and NPI yield computation is based on annualising the management’s forecast

presentation provided in Appendix C of the Circular.

(4) Net property income of S$129.6 million (rounded up to S$130.0 million) which implies a yield of 5.1%

consists of S$82.7 million of income contribution and S$46.9 million of rental support. As the property has

rental support, the NPI yield is not comparable for the purpose of this analysis.

(5) Net property income of S$45.0 million consists of S$37.1 million of income contribution and S$7.9 million

of rental support. As the property has rental support, the NPI yield is not comparable for the purpose of

this analysis.

(6) Market value of S$5,202 million includes the market value of a 60.8% interest in Suntec Singapore from

Suntec REIT.

(7) Keppel REIT and Suntec REIT each has a one-third interest in One Raffles Quay. The figures represent

each of the one-third interest respectively.

(8) Keppel REIT has a one-third interest in Marina Bay Financial Towers 1 & 2 and the Marina Bay Link Mall.

The NPI yield of 3.6% is based on NPI which includes income support and hence not comparable.

(9) S$58.5 million include $1.4 million of rental support.

(10) N.A. refers to not available.

Based on the table above, we note the following:

(i) the implied NPI yield of One Raffles Place of 3.4% is within the range of NPI yields

of 2.4% to 4.5% of the Comparable Properties. As stated in section 4.3 of the Letter

to Unitholders in the Circular, One Raffles Place could achieve potential NPI growth

from increase in occupancy, potential positive rental reversion, and limited new office

supply in Raffles Place. This may enhance NPI yield of 3.4% stated above.

(ii) the implied value per NLA of One Raffles Place is lower than the value per NLA of

Ocean Financial Centre, One Raffles Quay and Six Battery Road and of S$2,894 psf,

S$2,762 psf and S$2,691 psf, respectively.

(iii) the implied value per NLA of One Raffles Place is higher than the value per NLA of,

Suntec City, One George Street and HSBC Building of S$2,314 psf, S$2,179 psf and

S$2,245 psf, respectively.

4.5. Terms of the CPPUs

We note that the CPPU is a structured instrument, incorporating terms which are specific

to the Proposed Transactions and the positions of the parties. Therefore, it is important

that the Unitholders fully understand the principal terms of the CPPUs. We highlight the

following as key terms:

(i) KPMG LLP, as the auditors of OUE C-REIT, has confirmed that the CPPUs will be

classified as equity securities under the Financial Reporting Standards 32;

(ii) that the CPPUs will be treated as equity subject to the approval and confirmation

being received by OUE C-REIT from Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore;

(iii) The CPPU Holders are entitled to receive a distribution (the “CPPU Distribution”) of

an amount equivalent to 1.0% per annum of the issue price of each CPPU;

(iv) The CPPUs are convertible by the CPPU Holders after a Restriction Period of four

years commencing from the date of issuance of the CPPUs, provided that the number

of CPPUs converted in any one year shall not exceed one-third of the total number

of CPPUs initially issued to the CPPU Holder;

(v) During the Restriction Period, the CPPU Holders shall not be entitled to exercise their

Conversion Right when the Manager exercises its right to redeem any of the CPPUs;

(vi) The conversion price shall be an amount equivalent to a premium of 15.0% above the

theoretical ex-rights price (“TERP”) per Unit in relation to the Rights Issue;

(vii) In the event that both a conversion notice as well as a redemption notice are issued

at the same time, the conversion notice shall prevail;

(viii) The CPPU Distribution is discretionary and non-cumulative;

(ix) While the distribution is declared at the discretion of the Manager, in the event that

any distribution is not declared in full for any reason in respect of any distribution

period, OUE C-REIT shall not, and shall procure that the subsidiaries of the OUE

C-REIT shall not, in respect of the same period:

(a) declare or pay any distributions in respect of, or repurchase or redeem, any

Units or any other securities, or ownership interests of the OUE C-REIT ranking

Page 187: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

In reviewing the information above, we note the following:

(i) the distribution on the CPPUs of 1.0% is below both the yield-to-maturity and the

coupon rate of the selected convertible and perpetual financial instruments;

(ii) the premium on conversion of the CPPUs (a premium of 15.0% above the TERP in

relation to the Rights Issue) is below the range of the convertible bonds issued by

CCT (at 19.8%) and by CapitaLand (at 32.6%);

(iii) the Restriction Period of four years commencing from the date of the issuance of the

CPPUs is higher than that of FCOT CPPUs and Starhill CPUs which have a

restriction period of three years and higher than all other selected convertible and

perpetual instruments;

(iv) the Manager has the option but not the obligation to redeem the CPPUs at the

principal amount similar to the terms of FCOT CPPU and Starhill CPU;

(v) post four years the CPPU conversion is further restricted to only one-third of the

CPPUs initially issued in any one year which is not the case in any of the above

selected convertible and perpetual financial instruments presented above; and

(vi) There is no restriction on the number of units that can be redeemed in a financial

year, hence giving the Manager the flexibility to redeem based on the outcome of the

redemption review process.

As stated in Section 4.5 of this letter, the CPPU is a structured instrument, incorporating

terms which are specific to the Proposed Transactions and the positions of the parties. The

structure is intended for the Sponsor to provide funding support for OUE C-REIT in the

near-term as the REIT seeks to grow NPI through positive rental reversion and increase

in occupancy. The proposed issuance of the CPPUs to the Sponsor as part payment for

the Proposed Acquisition demonstrates the Sponsor’s commitment to support OUE

C-REIT’s acquisition growth strategy and reflects the Sponsors’ confidence in the growth

prospects in One Raffles Place.

We also wish to highlight that the pricing of convertible instruments is influenced by many

factors including the market capitalisation, size of operations, composition of business

activities, asset base, geographical spread, track record, financial performance, operating

and financial leverage, risk profile, liquidity, future prospects and other relevant criteria of

the issuer. As a result, any comparisons drawn can serve only as an illustrative

guide.

4.7. Redemption review process of the CPPUs

We wish to highlight that, in relation to the redemption of the CPPUs, the Manager intends

to put in place a redemption review process following the issuance of the CPPUs. The

Manager will, on a semi-annual basis in every financial year after the issuance of the

CPPUs, prepare an internal report as to whether to redeem the CPPUs, taking into

account relevant funding costs, market conditions, benefits and risks of redemption.

The internal report shall set out the factors taken into consideration by the Manager as well

as the financial conditions of OUE C-REIT and such other information as the Manager may

consider necessary for the consideration of the Audit and Risk Committee of the Manager.

E-23

Page 188: OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. - …€¦ · Circular dated 1 July 2015 Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) assumes no responsibility for the

The Audit and Risk Committee will then review the internal report, deliberate and decide

if OUE C-REIT should redeem any CPPUs, taking into consideration the best interest of

OUE C-REIT and its minority Unitholders. Any member of the Audit and Risk Committee

who is a non-Independent Director shall abstain from voting on any resolution relating to

the redemption of the CPPUs at the meeting of the Audit and Risk Committee.

Under Clause 5.1.4 of the Trust Deed, the Manager has the power to issue further CPPUs

of the same class with the CPPUs already issued.

4.8. Pro forma financial effects of the Proposed Transactions

The pro forma financial effects of the Proposed Transactions are set out in Section 6 of the

Letter to Unitholders in the Circular. The pro forma financial effects have been computed

under two scenarios:

(i) Scenario A – OUE C-REIT is acquiring a minimum 75.0% indirect interest in OUBC

(“Scenario A”); and

(ii) Scenario B – OUE C-REIT is acquiring a maximum 83.33% indirect interest in OUBC

(“Scenario B”).

The tables below set out the pro forma financial effects of the Proposed Transactions on

the DPU, DPU yield and NAV per Unit. For illustrative purposes, the pro forma DPU, DPU

yield and NAV per Unit are shown as if the CPPUs were fully converted and if one-third of

the CPPUs were converted on 27 January 2014, although (i) the CPPUs cannot be

converted during the four-year Restriction Period save in certain limited circumstances

and (ii) not more than one-third of the CPPUs initially issued can be converted in any one

year.

The pro forma financial effects are for illustrative purposes and do not represent OUE

C-REIT’s DPU post-completion of the Proposed Transactions. The Unitholders should

note that FY 2014 is not representative of One Raffles Place’s full year performance as its

retail podium was only re-opened in May 2014 and hence did not have a full year

contribution for FY 2014.

We wish to highlight that as stated in Section 4.8 of the Letter to Unitholders in the

Circular, the Proposed CPPU Issue will not increase aggregate leverage. Assuming that

OUE C-REIT acquires 75.0% to 83.33% indirect interest in OUBC, its pro forma aggregate

leverage is expected to be 40.9% to 41.9% respectively.

As stated in Section 4.3 of the Letter to Unitholders in the Circular, One Raffles Place

could achieve potential growth from increase in occupancy, potential positive rental

reversion and limited new office supply in Raffles Place. This may reduce the DPU dilution

as stated above.

5. OUR RECOMMENDATION

In arriving at our recommendation, we have taken into account the following factors which

we consider to have a significant bearing on our assessment of the Proposed Acquisition

and the Proposed CPPU Issue.

(i) the rationale and the benefits of the Proposed Acquisition and the Proposed CPPU

Issue;

(ii) Savills and Cushman & Wakefield have estimated the market value of the OUBC

Interest is S$1,734.0 million and S$1,733.0 million, respectively;

(iii) the approach used by the Independent Valuers in making their opinions are

consistent with the market standards;

(iv) the market value of One Raffles Place attributable to OUBC as at 31 December

2014 based on information disclosed in the annual report OUE for the financial year

ended 31 December 2014 is S$1,737.0 million;

(v) the implied price per NLA of One Raffles Place is lower than the price per NLA of

Straits Trading Building and Robinson Point of S$2,830 psf and S$2,580 psf,

respectively;

(vi) the implied price per NLA of One Raffles Place is higher than the price per NLA of

Equity Plaza, Anson House, Finexis Building, Prudential Tower and 16 Collyer Quay

of S$2,181 psf, S$2,252 psf, S$2,300 psf, S$2,316 psf and S$2,374 psf,

respectively;

(vii) the implied NPI yield of One Raffles Place of 3.4% is within the range of NPI yields

of 2.4% to 4.5% of the Comparable Properties. As stated in Section 4.3 of the Letter

to Unitholders in the Circular, One Raffles Place could achieve potential NPI growth

from increase in occupancy, potential positive rental reversion and limited new office

supply in Raffles Place. This may enhance NPI yield of 3.4%;

(viii) the implied value per NLA of One Raffles Place is lower than the value per NLA of

Ocean Financial Centre, One Raffles Quay and Six Battery Road and of S$2,894

psf, S$2,762 psf and S$2,691 psf, respectively;

(ix) the implied value per NLA of One Raffles Place is higher than the value per NLA of,

Suntec City, One George Street and HSBC Building of S$2,314 psf, S$2,179 psf and

S$2,245 psf, respectively;

(x) the distribution on the CPPUs of 1.0% is below both the yield to maturity and the

coupon rate of the selected convertible and perpetual instruments; and

(xi) the premium on conversion of the CPPUs (a premium of 15.0% above the TERP in

relation to the Rights Issue) is below range of the convertible bonds issued by CCT

(at 19.8%) and by CapitaLand (at 32.6%);

(xii) the Restriction Period of four years commencing from the date of the issuance of the

CPPUs is higher than that of FCOT CPPUs and Starhill CPUs and higher than all

other selected convertible and perpetual instruments;

(xiii) post four years the CPPU conversion is further restricted to only one-third of the

CPPUs initially issued in any one year which is not the case in any of the selected

convertible and perpetual financial instruments;

(xiv) There is no restriction on the number of units that can be redeemed in a financial

year, hence giving the Manager the flexibility to redeem based on the outcome of the

redemption review process;

(xv) the CPPU is a structured instrument, incorporating terms which are specific to the

Proposed Transactions and the positions of the parties. The structure is intended for

the Sponsor to provide funding support for OUE C-REIT in the near-term as the

REIT seeks to grow NPI through positive rental reversion and increase in

occupancy;

(xvi) the intention of the Manager to put in place a redemption review process to evaluate

the commercial viability of redemption of the CPPUs; and

(xvii) the pro forma financial effects of the Proposed Transactions.

Having considered the above and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set out

herein and taking into account the prevailing conditions as at Latest Practicable Date, we

are of the opinion that the Proposed Acquisition and the Proposed CPPU Issue are on

normal commercial terms and will not be prejudicial to the interests of the OUE C-REIT

and its minority Unitholders.

Accordingly, we advise that the Independent Directors may recommend that the

Unitholders vote in favour of the Proposed Acquisition and the Proposed CPPU Issue.

Our recommendation is addressed to the Independent Directors, the Audit and Risk

Committee and the Trustee for their benefit in connection with and for the purpose of their

consideration of the Proposed Transactions. Any recommendation made by the

Independent Directors and the Audit Committee in respect of the Proposed Transactions

shall remain their responsibility.

Our recommendation is governed by the laws of Singapore and is strictly limited to the

matters stated herein and does not apply by implication to any other matter.

Yours faithfully

Dear Sirs

VALUATION OF: OUBC’S INTEREST IN 1 RAFFLES PLACE, ONE RAFFLES PLACE SINGAPORE 048616 (“THE PROPERTY”)

In accordance with your instructions to us, we are to provide our opinion of the current Market Value of OUB Centre Limited (“OUBC”)’s interest in the Property, based on (a) the unexpired leasehold interest in the Property; and (b) with vacant possession, for the purposes of acquisition and financing.

We have prepared this valuation certificate for the purpose of inclusion in a circular to unitholders.

Our valuation is our opinion of the market value of OUBC’s interest in the Property which we would define as intended to mean “the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after proper marketing, wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.”

The market value is the best price reasonably obtainable in the market by the seller and the most advantageous price reasonably obtainable in the market by the buyer. This estimate specifically excludes an estimated price inflated or deflated by special terms or circumstances such as atypical financing, sale and leaseback arrangements, joint ventures, management agreements, special considerations or concessions granted by anyone associated with the sale, or any element of special value. The market value of a property is also estimated without regard to costs of sale and purchase, and without offset for any associated taxes.

In arriving at our opinion of market value, we have adopted the Income Capitalisation Approach and Market Comparison Method.

We have fully relied on information provided by the Manager as well as obtained from reliable agencies and sources in the public domain. In the event that the actual information of the Property such as dimensions, measurements and areas when made available to us, differs from our estimates we reserve the right to review our valuation.

Dear Sirs

ONE RAFFLES PLACE TOWER 1, ONE RAFFLES PLACE TOWER 2 AND ONE RAFFLES PLACE SHOPPING MALL AT 1 RAFFLES PLACE, SINGAPORE 048616 (COLLECTIVELY REFERRED TO AS “THE PROPERTY”)

Cushman & Wakefield VHS Pte Ltd (“C&W”) have been instructed by OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte Ltd, to provide the market value as at 5 June 2015 and formal valuation report in respect of the above mentioned property (“the Property”), as disclosed.

C&W have prepared the formal valuation report (the “Report”) in accordance with the requirements of the instructions and the following international definition of Market Value:

“Market Value is the estimated amount for which an asset or liability should exchange on the date of valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction, after property marketing, wherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion”.

The valuations have been made on the assumption that the owner sells the Property on the open market in their existing state without the benefit of a deferred term contract, joint venture or any similar arrangement which would affect the value of the Property.

For the specific purposes of this Circular, we provide a valuation summary of the Report with a brief description of the Property together with the key factors that have been considered in determining the market value of the Property. The value conclusions reflect all information known by the valuers of C&W who worked on the valuation in respect to the Property, market conditions and available data.

Reliance on This Letter

This letter together with its attachments is a summary of the full Report that C&W have carried out and it does not contain all the necessary information and assumptions that are included in the Report. Further reference may be made to the Report, copies of which are held by the management.

The valuations contained in the Report are not guarantees or predictions but are based on the information obtained from reliable and reputable agencies and sources, the owner and other related parties. Whilst C&W have endeavoured to obtain accurate information, it has not independently verified all the information provided by the management or other reliable and reputable agencies.

Due to the nature of the instructions, detailed information pertaining to the Property could not be supplied to us. For the purpose of this valuation and as instructed, we have relied on available public sources of information as well as our own internal sources of information. Primarily, we have relied on published information found in OUE Limited Annual Report 2014, as well as those found in the public domain www.onerafflesplace.com.sg, for property information such as the approximate Gross Floor Area, dates of completion and all other relevant matters in our valuation. In addition, we have also relied on the Net Lettable Area provided to us by the Manager. Where applicable, information as to ownership, site area and zoning has been obtained from our searches at the local authorities. Also, we have assumed that all leases and tenancy agreements are legally valid and enforceable and the Property have proper legal titles that can be freely transferred, leased and sub-leased in the market without

being subject to any land premium or any extra charges. C&W have no reason to doubt the truth and accuracy of information provided to us by the management which is material to the valuation.

No allowance has been made in the valuation for any charges, mortgages or amounts owing on the Property. C&W have assumed that the Property is free from encumbrances, restrictions or other outgoings of an onerous nature which would affect their market value, other than those which have been made known to C&W.

The methodologies used in valuing the Property, namely, the Capitalization Approach, is based on a set of assumptions as to the income and expenses taking into considerations the changes in economic conditions and other relevant factors affecting the Property. The resultant value is, in our opinion, the best estimate but it is not to be construed as a guarantee or prediction and it is fully dependent upon the accuracy of the assumptions made. This summary does not contain all the necessary support data and details included in our Report. For further information on that, reference should be made to the Report to understand the complexity of the methodology and the variables involved in order to appreciate the context in which the values are arrived at.

Due to the nature of the instructions, we could only inspect the exterior and, where we can access, typical areas of the interior of the Property. No structural surveys have been made, but in the course of our cursor inspection, we did not note any serious defect to the completed buildings where we can see. We are not, however, able to report that the Property is free from rot, infestation or any structural defect. No tests were carried out to any of the services.

We have also not carried out investigations on site in order to determine the suitability of ground conditions, nor have we undertaken archaeological, ecological or environmental surveys. Our valuation is on the basis that these aspects are satisfactory.

Valuation Rationale

In arriving at our valuation, we have considered relevant general and economic factors and in particular have investigated recent sales transactions of comparable Property that have occurred in the vicinity or in similar standard localities. We have utilized the Capitalization Approach and Comparison Method, where appropriate, in undertaking our assessment for the Property.

Capitalization Approach

Where appropriate, we have cross-checked the property interests using the Capitalization Approach by taking into account estimated sustainable revenues of the property, adjusting to reflect anticipated operating expenses or outgoings, deriving a net income which is then capitalized at appropriate capitalization rate over the remaining lease term or tenure. Capitalization rate was obtained by comparing capitalization rates of similar properties in market transactions, where available.

Comparison Method

Where appropriate, we have cross-checked the property interests by the Comparison Method by making reference to comparable sale transactions as available in the relevant market. Appropriate adjustments are made for any differences between the Property and the comparables.

More property details and the key valuation assumptions for the Property are found in the Valuation Certificate attached to this letter.

Our valuation is undertaken on a Goods and Services Tax exclusive basis.

Terms of Reference DTZ was appointed by OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. to conduct an independent market study of the office and retail property markets in Singapore, for the proposed acquisition of One Raffles Place (ORP) located at 1 Raffles Place, Singapore 048616.

This report is addressed to OUE Commercial REIT Management Pte. Ltd. and DBS Trustee Limited, in its capacity as Trustee of OUE-C REIT.

The forward statements in this report are based on our expectations and forecasts for the future. These statements should be regarded as our assessment of the future, based on certain assumptions on variables which are subject to changing conditions. Changes in any of these variables may significantly affect our expectations and forecasts.��

Section 1 Socio-economic Overview

1.1 GDP Growth, Unemployment and Inflation Global economic growth in 2014 was modest at 3.4%, due to the uneven recovery in the major economies. While the performance of the US economy was stronger than expected, growth in Mainland China, the Eurozone and Japan was lacklustre. Notwithstanding, Asia remained as the world’s growth leader in 2014, as overall consumption in the region was relatively robust.

Singapore’s economy continued to grow in 2014, albeit at a moderate 2.9%, compared with 4.4% in 2013 (Figure 1.1). This was also slower than the average annual real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth of 6.5% from 2004 to 2013. Apart from the global economic uncertainty, the moderated growth was also due to the ongoing labour market pressures and weak productivity growth.

Nonetheless, the economy came ahead of market expectations in Q1 2015, achieving a 2.1%1 YOY real GDP growth, same as that in Q4 2014. In particular, the services producing industries, which accounted for 75% of Gross Value Added (GVA), led economic growth for most of 2014 and Q1 2015.

Unemployment rate remained low at 2.0% in 2014, though marginally higher than the 1.9% in 2013.

Total employment grew by 3.7% (130,100) in 2014, lower than the 4.1% (136,200) in 2013. Employment gain was led by community, social & personal services (32,400) and wholesale & retail trade (20,500). Employment growth in finance & insurance (9,300), professional services (14,000) and administrative & support services (13,600), which traditionally drives the demand for office space, was also substantial in 2014.

Inflation eased from 2.4% in 2013 to 1.0% in 2014. This was below the average annual inflation over the past decade (2.8%). This trend is in line with the government’s ongoing efforts to manage inflation.

1.2 Economic Profile As at end 2014, Singapore’s GVA at current market prices was $368.5 billion2. Singapore’s economy is well-diversified, supported by manufacturing (18% of GVA), business & services (16%) and finance & insurance (12%). The wholesale & retail trade sector, which drives the demand for retail space, is also an important component of the economy, accounting for 17% of GVA.

1.3 Sectoral Performance According to the Economic Development Board, the services cluster in Singapore attracted the highest fixed asset investments in 2014, led by Infocommunications & Media and Headquarter & Professional Services. This reflected the growing technology clusters in Singapore and the strong extent they are driving the economy.

Of the services producing industries, the finance & insurance sector, a core driver of demand for Central Business District (CBD) office space, grew the most significantly by 7.7% in 2014. This is in line with Singapore continuing to be a leading global financial centre and a regional funding centre for trade flows in Asia as well as between Asia and the rest of the world.

On the back of rapid growth in the Telecommunications, Media and Technology (TMT) industry, demand for office space is increasingly being driven by non-financial companies. This is reflected by continued growth in the information & communications (3.6%) and business services (2.9%) sectors in 2014.

On the other hand, the wholesale & retail trade sector grew moderately by 1.7% in 2014, weighed by weak retail sales. Excluding motor vehicles, the Retail Sales Index (RSI) at constant prices declined by 0.7% in 2014, compared with the 1.1% growth in 2013. This was due to slowing Private Consumption Expenditure (PCE) growth and operational difficulties faced by retailers, including tighter manpower constraints.

The 3.0% decline in visitor arrivals to 15.1 million in 2014 partly weighed on retail sales, with the sales of discretionary goods such as recreational goods and apparels & footwear falling by 6.5% and 2.5% in 2014 respectively. Notwithstanding, tourism spending held firm at $23.5 billion in 2014, with a higher proportion of visitors staying longer and spending more on average.

I ndependent Market S tudy fo r the Of f i ce and Reta i l Rea l Es ta te Markets in the S ingapore CBD ���������

Singapore received 2.4 million visitors in the first two months of 2015, a decline of about 5% YOY. Nonetheless, tourism numbers are expected to return to growth in 2015, amid the expected rise in outbound travel to Asia and intra-Asia travel. Visitor arrivals are expected to increase by 0% to 3% to between 15.1 and 15.5 million, while tourism receipts are forecast to grow by 0% to 2% between $23.5 and $24.0 billion.

1.4 Population Singapore’s population has grown steadily over the past decade, by an average annual rate of 2.8%. As at end 2014, total population was 5.47 million, of which 71% (3.87 million) were Singapore residents3.

Although population growth slowed in 2013 (1.6%) and 2014 (1.3%) due to tighter immigration policies, the January 2013 Population White Paper provided a roadmap for population growth to reach 6.5 to 6.9 million by 2030. This translates to an average annual growth rate of 1.2% to 1.6%. In line with population growth, Singapore’s workforce is expected to grow by 1.0% to 2.0% per annum till 2030. Focus is on the creation of high value-added jobs, and this is expected to benefit the office and retail markets over time.

1.5 Personal Disposable Income and Private Consumption Expenditure Bolstered by its open and dynamic economy, Singapore enjoys a high per capita GDP (USD56,284 (SGD71,318) in 2014). The average annual growth of its per capita Personal Disposable Income (PDI)4

(4.3%) is higher than that for per capita PCE (3.7%) over the past decade. As at end 2014, Singapore’s per capita PDI was $40,424, about 20% higher than that for per PCE ($33,763), reflecting the resident population’s strong spending potential.

1.6 Major Government Plans, Policies and Initiatives

Budget 2015 Budget 2015 focused on building Singapore as an economy with firms driven by innovation and higher incomes, coming from deep skills and expertise in every job. In particular, five growth clusters of the future were identified, including Asian and Global Financial Services.

Key measures included providing businesses more time to adjust to the ongoing restructuring and shoring up the Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) industry. These include the extension of the Wage Credit Scheme and corporate income tax rebates, as well as strengthening support for innovation by enhancing grant support and enterprise financing.

Meanwhile, income tax concessions for Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) were extended till 2020 to promote the listing of REITs in Singapore and strengthen its position as a major REIT centre in Asia.

On the other hand, stamp duty concessions for REITs were allowed to lapse after 31 March 2015. These stamp duty concessions were intended to better enable the REIT industry to acquire a critical mass of local assets, as a base from which they can expand overseas.

Proposed enhancements to the regulatory regime for REITs REITs in Singapore have become an attractive investment option that delivers tax-efficient, stable and regular returns for investors. Singapore has one of the largest REIT markets in Asia as at end 2014, with 28 REITs and six stapled trusts listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (SGX-ST) and a combined market capitalisation of $66.7 billion.

To remain competitive as a major Asian REIT centre, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) published a consultation paper in October 2014 for the proposed enhancements to the regulatory regime for REITs and REIT Managers in Singapore. The proposals, which are expected to benefit the overall REIT market, include considerations on enhancing transparency, corporate governance, creating stronger disclosure standards and providing REITs with more operational flexibility, e.g.:

• Adopting a single-tier leverage limit of 45%, without requirement for credit rating; and • Allowing REITs to undertake development activities up to 25% of its deposited property.

Plans for the CBD The government has been pro-active in planning and facilitating Singapore’s physical development and ensuring that it remains competitive with other global and regional financial hubs. It has implemented place management initiatives in the city centre, including Marina Bay and Singapore River, to make these areas vibrant live-work-play environments. In addition, the Urban Redevelopment Authority (URA) is currently reviewing future plans for the CBD as well as growth areas outside the CBD.

The Ministry of National Development Land Use Paper released in 2013, highlighted strategies to rejuvenate the traditional CBD, further develop the New Downtown at Marina Bay as well as development of a Southern Waterfront City.

The Singapore River One (SRO) is a private sector-led initiative responsible for the place management of the entire Singapore River precinct, including Boat Quay, which is near the subject property. The URA envisages Singapore River as a premier mixed-user recreational destination, with enhanced economic and business activity. Key objectives of the SRO’s 5-Year Business Plan (2012 to 2016) for the precinct include increasing footfall, sales, property values, lease and occupancy rates.

1.7 Outlook According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), global economic growth in 2015 (3.5%) is projected to be marginally stronger than that in 2014 (3.4%). Growth is likely to be stronger in advanced economies, but more subdued in emerging markets. Prospects in Asia are also expected to remain relatively positive, with the IMF projecting a steady 5.6% growth for the region.

Despite the soft global economic prospects and domestic restructuring, the Ministry of Trade and Industry expects Singapore’s economy to grow by 2.0% to 4.0% in 2015 (Figure 1.1 on page 1). Meanwhile, the MAS projects headline inflation at -0.5% to 0.5% in 2015.

In the longer term, Oxford Economics projects Singapore’s real GDP growth to sustain at around 3.4% to 3.6% per annum from 2016 to 2018. The services producing industries, which are expected to grow by 3.3% to 4.9% per annum over the same period, will underpin the growth.

Section 2 Office Real Estate Market Overview�

2.1 Major Office Locations This report focuses on the CBD office market, particularly Raffles Place, where the subject property is located. Singapore’s CBD comprises Raffles Place, Marina Bay (the New Downtown) and Shenton Way/ Robinson Road/ Cecil Street (Map 2.1).

Map 2.1: Major Office Locations (CBD and Fringe CBD)

Source: DTZ Consulting & Research, April 2015

Many global financial institutions and Multinational Corporations (MNCs) are located in Raffles Place and Marina Bay, which has a high concentration of premium and Grade-A offices. These two locations typically house global/ regional headquarters and front office functions. Together, Raffles Place and Marina Bay constitute the main financial and business district of Singapore.

Shenton Way/ Robinson Road/ Cecil Street is popular with professional/ business services companies and other financial, insurance and real estate companies. While a considerable proportion of the office stock in this micro-market is aging and relatively less well-specified, many are undergoing refurbishment or redevelopment.

Other major office locations outside the CBD are:

• Fringe CBD – Office locations fringing the CBD, which mainly serve companies that require proximity to their clients in the CBD. Micro-markets such as Anson Road/ Tanjong Pagar, Marina Centre and Beach Road/ North Bridge are emerging as attractive office locations, as there are many new premium and Grade-A offices completing in the next few years; and

• Decentralised Areas – These locations are outside of the CBD and the Fringe CBD, including the suburban areas. These offices are usually closer to homes and are often complemented by amenities and accessible by the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) network. These offices attract companies that do not need to be in the CBD as well as corporate support functions of financial institutions and other companies. Decentralised locations such as one-north and Jurong Gateway have seen many new Grade-A office additions in recent years.

2.2 Supply, Demand and Occupancy

Supply As at Q1 2015, there was about 24.3 million sq ft5 of office space in the CBD, which accounted for 36% of islandwide stock (68.6 million sq ft). Meanwhile, office stock in the Fringe CBD accounted for another 36% (24.8 million sq ft), with Anson Road/ Tanjong Pagar (6.2 million sq ft) being the largest Fringe CBD office micro-market. The remaining 28% (19.5 million sq ft) of islandwide office stock is in the Decentralised Areas.

Figure 2.1: Breakdown of Office Stock (Q1 2015)

Source: DTZ Consulting & Research, April 2015

Raffles Place is the most established business location in the CBD, accounting for majority (50%, 12.2 million sq ft) of office stock in the CBD, as at Q1 2015. Being the traditional core of the CBD, it has continuously been rejuvenated via refurbishment and redevelopment activities. It is also directly served by Raffles Place MRT interchange station, which is one of the three interchange stations that serve the major East-West and North-South Lines.

Accessibility and connectivity within and to Raffles Place has improved significantly over the years; key infrastructural improvements include the development of:

• The Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE) which better integrates the Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE), East Coast Parkway (ECP) and Kallang-Paya Lebar Expressway (KPE) to the CBD;

• New MRT lines such as the Downtown Line and Circle Line, which connects to the East-West and North-South Lines; and

• A seamless network of air-conditioned underground walkways linking various office developments in Raffles Place and Marina Bay.

Raffles Place continues to be the heart of the CBD, a gateway to Singapore’s established centre of business and commerce. The high concentration of corporates in the micro-market also allows companies to be near their clients. Given its prestige and convenience, Raffles Place is a choice location – premium and Grade-A offices in the area are usually the preferred choice among leading MNCs and financial institutions. Some of these offices, including those in Marina Bay, are highlighted in Table 2.1.

Annual net supply10 in the CBD was substantial since 2010, above the average annual net supply from 2005 to 2014 (0.70 million sq ft), with the exception of 2013 (0.35 million sq ft) (Figure 2.2). Notably, there were significant terminations in the CBD (0.4 million sq ft) in 2013, especially in Raffles Place and Shenton Way/ Robinson Road/ Cecil Street.

Terminations in the CBD primarily stemmed from the increased redevelopment activities in these locations, alongside the government’s vision for a more vibrant CBD. Some of these buildings are redeveloping into mixed-use developments, e.g., V on Shenton (office and residential) and OUE Downtown (office, retail and serviced apartments), while some are redeveloping/ refurbishing into strata-titled offices, e.g., Oxley Tower and Robinson Tower.

Figure 2.2: Net Supply (CBD)

Notwithstanding, office supply in Raffles Place has been more measured and is relatively tight, with the exceptions of 2011 (1.31 million sq ft) and 2014 (0.71 million sq ft). Average annual net supply in Raffles Place over the past decade is estimated at 0.18 million sq ft, only a quarter of that for the entire CBD.

New supply in Raffles Place since 2011 comprised mainly premium and Grade-A offices. These offices achieved healthy commitments from a diverse range of established tenants such as ANZ Banking Group Limited, BNP Paribas, Drew & Napier LLC, Merrill Lynch International Bank Limited (Merchant Bank) and Michael Page International. This trend of strong interest continued in 2014, with CapitaGreen securing high profile tenants such as Apple, Cargill, Lloyd's Asia, Schroder and Twitter.

Alongside the government’s long-term plan for decentralisation, there has been substantial new supply in the Fringe CBD and Decentralised Areas since 2013. These non-CBD projects include South Beach (0.5 million sq ft), The Metropolis at one-north (1.1 million sq ft), Jem and Westgate Tower (0.3 million sq ft each) as well as Paya Lebar Square (0.4 million sq ft). Many are located at major transport nodes, supported by a range of amenities, in well-specified commercial buildings.

Demand and Occupancy The demand for office space in the CBD has generally been healthy, with the average annual net demand11 in the past decade (0.78 million sq ft) exceeding that for supply (0.70 million sq ft) (Figure 2.3).

Figure 2.3: Net Supply, Net Demand and Occupancy (CBD)

Source: DTZ Consulting & Research, April 2015

Demand came from: • The regular mainstay, i.e. finance & insurance, professional and business services, as well as a

growing diversity of occupiers. These include companies in energy, commodities and TMT, particularly those in the Social, Media, Analytics and Cloud industries. These firms are usually willing to pay higher rents to locate in well-specified buildings, particularly those in prime and convenient locations, to facilitate client proximity, attract talent and strengthen their brand positioning;

• Serviced office providers are increasingly sought after due to their flexibility. Serviced offices at prime office addresses offer smaller and cost-conscious set-ups a strong brand positioning and this is popular, amid the burgeoning SME industry in Singapore;

• Tenants relocating within the CBD – some of which are moving due to their premises undergoing refurbishment/ redevelopment, e.g., the former Equity Plaza, now known as GSH

11 Net demand refers to the change in the total occupied or let floor space over a specified period of time, positive or negative. It only takes into account occupiers when they physically locate in the premises.

Plaza. Some tenants are also relocating from developments in Marina Bay to Raffles Place, e.g., both Lloyd’s Asia from Asia Square Tower 1 and Jardine Lloyd Thompson from One Raffles Quay are moving to CapitaGreen, given the strong value proposition to locate in Raffles Place12; and

• Occupiers relocating to better quality offices. Some are relocating from the Fringe CBD to Raffles Place e.g., Cargill Group moving from The Concourse along Beach Road to CapitaGreen.

With some tenants scheduled only to move in from 2015 onwards, net demand in the CBD (0.40 million sq ft) did not match net supply (0.75 million sq ft) in 2014. The significant net supply in Raffles Place was due to the completion of CapitaGreen in December 2014.

Of the CBD locations, occupancy in Raffles Place is traditionally the most stable and resilient, and has remained at 90% and above in the past decade. Despite the ample new supply in 2014, occupancy remained at a healthy level of 92.2%, as at Q4 2014 (Figure 2.4). The termination of the former Equity Plaza, alongside committed tenants moving into their new premises, saw an increase in occupancy in Raffles Place to 92.5% in Q1 2015. Meanwhile, occupancy for Grade-A offices in Raffles Place increased from 96.4% in Q4 2014 to 97.2% in Q1 2015. Other CBD locations also experienced an increase in their occupancies, as supply remained tight.

2.3 Potential Supply Excluding projects that have not obtained Provisional Permission/ Written Permission (PP/ WP) and unawarded Government Land Sales (GLS) commercial/ white sites, there is about 8.3 million sq ft of islandwide pipeline supply from Q2 2015 to 2018. About 50% (3.8 million sq ft) will be in the CBD.

Following the completion of South Beach in Q1 2015, the pipeline office developments in 2015 are mostly small – 100,000 sq ft and lower. There is only one office development in the CBD completing in 2015, namely Crown@Robinson (78,300 sq ft). In addition, an estimated 0.26 million sq ft of office space was terminated in Raffles Place in Q1 2015. As such, the supply situation in the CBD, particularly Raffles Place, is likely to be very tight in 2015.

Major new supply is expected in 2016 (4.35 million sq ft), including Marina One at Marina Bay (1.88 million sq ft), Guoco Tower at Anson Road/ Tanjong Pagar (0.90 million sq ft) and DUO Tower (0.57 million sq ft) (Figure 2.5). These expected completions, particularly those at Marina Bay, are mainly premium offices and are relatively close to Raffles Place. As such, they are likely to compete with offices in Raffles Place.

Figure 2.5: Potential Supply (Islandwide)14

Source: URA, DTZ Consulting & Research, April 2015

There are concerns over the significant supply in 2016 as well as competition from high quality offices in the non-CBD areas. Nonetheless, offices in Raffles Place are expected to remain relatively resilient, as:

• There is very limited supply in Raffles Place, as majority (72%) of the new supply in the CBD in 2016 is in Marina Bay. Apart from GSH Plaza, a strata-titled office for sale, which is expected to complete in 2016, there is currently no known office supply in the Raffles Place micro-market till 2018;

14 Of the 658,500 sq ft of islandwide office space completed in Q1 2015, 518,700 sq ft (79%) is in the CBD Fringe, while the remaining 21% (139,900 sq ft) is in the Decentralised Areas. There were no completions in the CBD in Q1 2015.

• Decentralised offices are not expected to pose significant competition for CBD tenants, particularly in industries that require extensive client-facing e.g., finance and some professional services such as legal;

Notwithstanding, potential supply in 2017 and 2018 is expected to be moderate. While there is a white site at Marina View/ Union Street in Marina Bay (101,628 sq m/ 1.09 million sq ft GFA15) as well as a commercial site at Beach Road (88,313 sq m/ 0.95 million sq ft11) on the GLS Reserve List, these sites will only be launched for sale by the government if an interested developer submits a minimum acceptable bid.

2.4 Rental Values Grade-A office rental values in Raffles Place have generally held up well, compared with other CBD locations. In recent years, the tenant profile in Raffles Place has grown to be more diversified, providing some hedge against its traditional concentration of finance & insurance companies. Despite the development of Marina Bay, Raffles Place continues to be perceived as the most accessible location in the CBD. Its brand positioning as a premier business location also helped to sustain rentals.

During the Eurozone Crisis and significant supply influx (mainly Marina Bay) in 2010/11, rental values in the CBD were impacted. However, Grade-A office rental values in Raffles Place fell less extensively by 8.6% in 2012, compared with 12.5% in Marina Bay (Figure 2.6).

Figure 2.6: Average Monthly Gross Rental Values (Raffles Place and Marina Bay)17

Source: DTZ Consulting & Research, April 2015

Rental values in the CBD started to recover in 2013, owing to the tight supply as well as improved demand. On the back of sustained demand, Grade-A office rental values in Raffles Place rose by 12.2% to $11.50 per sq ft per month in 2014.

17 For Raffles Place, rental values are based on a basket of Grade-A offices. Meanwhile, all offices in Marina Bay are of premium-grade. The contracted rents are inclusive of service or maintenance charges under standard three-year lease terms.

Average monthly gross rental values for Grade-A offices in Raffles Place remained stable at $11.50 per sq ft in Q1 2015, while rental values in Marina Bay rose by 3.8% QOQ to $13.75 per sq ft. This reflects moderate rental growth, compared with the run-up in 2014. This is likely due to the 1.0 million sq ft of non-renewing office leases as well as 0.2 million sq ft of shadow space estimated to be released in 2015.

2.5 Capital Values Office capital values have been rising since 2009, on the back of growing investor interest in the office sector, partly fuelled by the relative increase in the availability of strata-titled offices for sale and property cooling measures in the residential and industrial markets. While the global economic uncertainty as well as Total Debt Servicing Ratio (TDSR) framework in June 2013 weighed on yield-sensitive investors, the advent of office rental recovery in 2013 helped usher a second wind for capital values.

Average freehold capital values in Raffles Place rose from $2,600 per sq ft in Q4 2012 to $2,765 per sq ft in Q4 2014, and continued to edge up to $2,795 per sq ft in Q1 2015. Nonetheless, capital values remained about 14% below the previous peak in Q4 2007 (Figure 2.7). Despite the TDSR framework continuing to impact on the strata-titled office market, capital values for office space continued to hold up in 2014 and Q1 2015.

2.6 Investment Market Amid the uncertainty over the expected increase in the US Federal interest rates, overall real estate investment volume fell by 38% to $17.7 billion in 2014. Nonetheless, the office sector accounted for bulk of the activity and was the only sector that experienced an increase in investment volume, which grew by 16.6% to $5.8 billion in 2014.

The office sector, particularly developments in the CBD and Fringe CBD, continued to attract healthy investor interest, amid the increasing rentals and expected tight supply in the CBD in 2015. For instance, AXA Tower at Shenton Way was acquired by a consortium led by Perennial Real Estate Holdings for $1.17 billion ($1,735 per sq ft) in January 2015.

Table 2.4 highlights the major office building transactions in the CBD since 2013.

2.7 Outlook

Despite the uneven global economic prospects, Singapore’s economy remains on track for growth. In particular, the services sector is expected to lead growth. According to the Q1 2015 Business Expectations Survey for the services sector, a weighted 70% of firms foresee the business climate to remain stable. It also showed that firms in the finance & insurance sector are the most optimistic. Hiring intentions in the information, technology & telecommunications sector are also healthy, based on the H1 2015 Hudson Report on Singapore’s hiring expectations.

New supply in 2015 is expected to be limited, especially in the CBD. The CBD accounts for only 11% (0.13 million sq ft) of new supply in the whole of 2015 (1.22 million sq ft), all of which is in Shenton Way/ Robinson Road/ Cecil Street.

Given the abovementioned, office rents in the CBD are expected to continue to rise in 2015, albeit at a slower pace compared to 2014. The limited supply in 2015 will be mitigated by office space from non-renewing leases as well as shadow space. In addition, some demand may be offset from occupiers relocating within the micro-market, who are usually moving from older buildings to more well-specified developments.

Going forward, rentals for Grade-A office buildings in Raffles Place, especially those which are well-located e.g., direct access to MRT station, are expected to be relatively resilient, given that there are no known premium and Grade-A offices in the pipeline in the area from 2015 to 2018. In addition, existing Grade-A offices in Raffles Place are uniquely positioned, offering mainly mid-sized floor plates (typically at around 10,000 sq ft), compared with recent and future office developments that offer floor plates of 20,000 sq ft and above.

Despite the challenging economic environment and some companies adopting more flexible working arrangements, many continue to favour the CBD as a choice location. Offices with mid-sized floor plates in Raffles Place offer a strong value proposition to these corporates. Coupled with the growing diversity of occupiers in the CBD, the demand for mid-sized floor plates in Raffles Place is expected to remain relatively firm.

Section 3 Retail Real Estate Market Overview

3.1 Major Retail Locations

Singapore is an established shopping haven with a variety of shopping malls catering to both residents and visitors. The retail property market is anchored by Orchard/ Scotts Road, Singapore’s main shopping destination and entertainment hub, while residents in the Suburban Areas are served by large regional malls. Meanwhile, retail space in the CBD is part of the Other City Areas, which includes other Fringe CBD locations (Map 3.1).

3.2 Supply, Demand, Occupancy

Supply In addition to office developments, there is about 0.9 million sq ft of retail space in the CBD, representing some 2% of retail stock in Singapore (39.9 million sq ft) (Figure 3.1). Unlike Orchard Road or suburban malls, retail offerings in the CBD mainly caters to the estimated 200,000 office workers in the CBD, as well as some business travelers.

As a result, majority of the retail and service offerings in the CBD mainly cater to office workers, e.g. fashion & accessories, banking, dry cleaning, tailors and salons. In addition, a large proportion of retail space in the CBD is for Food & Beverages (F&B). There is a wide variety of F&B offerings, from hawker centres and food courts, to specialty cafes and high-end restaurants.

Figure 3.1: Breakdown of Retail Stock (Q4 2014)20

Source: URA, DTZ Consulting & Research, April 2015

The retail scene in the CBD is evolving. In addition to the development of Marina Bay, the opening of One Raffles Place (98,500 sq ft) in 2014 added diversity to Raffles Place. It not only provided opportunities for new retail and F&B concepts, but also offered spaces for high street stores, e.g. H&M and Uniqlo, to operate in the hub of the CBD which was previously not available.

With about 10% of market share in the CBD, One Raffles Place is currently the largest purpose-built shopping mall in Raffles Place (Table 3.1).

20 Other City Area: Areas outside the Orchard/ Scotts Road corridor but within the city-limit (defined by URA as the Central Area) CBD includes Raffles Place, Shenton Way/ Robinson Road/ Cecil Street and Marina Bay.

There are also growing retail clusters in nearby Fringe CBD areas along the East West Line such as: • Anson Road/ Tanjong Pagar – Retail developments include 100am, ancillary retail e.g., Icon

Village and Orchid Hotel as well as conservation shophouse clusters at Tanjong Pagar; and • City Hall and Marina Centre – Existing developments include Suntec City Mall, Raffles City

Shopping Centre, City Link Mall and Marina Square, which are connected by underground pedestrian walkways.

Demand and Occupancy As the catchment for retail and F&B are mainly office workers, trading hours in the CBD tend to be limited to weekdays only. However, larger shopping malls like One Raffles Place and China Square Central open throughout the week. To attract shoppers outside of office hours and on the weekends, these shopping malls have special promotions, e.g. free parking after office hours and during weekends, although some retailers still find it tough to compete with the more popular shopping destinations where there is more variety.

Nevertheless, some landlords in the CBD allow retailers to operate only during weekdays. This is conducive for some retailers as it offers them more flexibility in their operations and allows them to better manage their operating costs.

21 Figures have been rounded.

The “Live-Work-Play” initiative by the URA for the CBD has injected resident population in the CBD. There are currently some 4,600 residential units in the Downtown Core Planning Area (Map 3.2) and another 2,400 units are expected in the next few years. The 970 hotel rooms in the CBD have also led to an increase in visitors to the area. These have increased the on-site catchment for the retail offerings in the CBD, especially for F&B, groceries and services. However, this benefit is not as evident for fashion retailers, whose target markets are mainly office workers.

Occupancy in the Other City Areas is marginally lower than that of Orchard/ Scotts Road and Suburban areas. As at end 2014, occupancy for retail spaces in the Other City Areas stood at 93.2%, 0.3%-pointslower than that islandwide (Figure 3.2).

3.3 Potential Supply

An estimated 4.1 million sq ft of retail NLA will be completed from Q2 2015 to 2018. About 10% (0.4 million sq ft) of the potential supply is in the CBD, while majority (75%, 3.1 million sq ft) is in the Suburban Areas (Figure 3.3). Competition in the CBD is expected to increase, with the completion of a number of retail developments in the next two years. These include Marina One (GFA: 198,160 sq ft) at Marina Bay, as well as Downtown Galleria (GFA: 252,950 sq ft) at Shenton Way.

3.4 Rental Values and Rents Due to the relatively weak retail market in Other City Areas, retail rentals in this area are lower than that in Orchard/ Scotts Road and Suburban Areas. With the steady growth of visitor numbers and retail sales, retail rentals in Singapore have been stable since 2010. As at Q1 2015, average monthly gross rental value for Other City Areas was $18.00 per sq ft (Figure 3.3).

First storey retail space, as well as units that enjoy street frontage and high footfall e.g. basement leading to MRT stations, usually command higher rents compared to upper storey units that do not enjoy the same visibility.

According to the URA, median monthly gross retail rents in Raffles Place were $17.03 per sq ft as at Q1 2015. The highest rental achieved in that quarter was $41.45 per sq ft, and the lowest at $4.76 per sq ft (Figure 3.4). Table 3.3 lists some examples of transacted rents in 2014, which range from $12.50 per sq ft for an upper level retail shop at One Raffles Place to $30.50 per sq ft for a lower level retail shop in The Arcade.

25 The URA defines retail space as space used for shop, food & beverage (F&B), entertainment and health & fitness purposes.26 Data before Q1 2011 refers to shop space only, which is defined by the URA as space used or intended to be used for any trade where the primary purpose is the sale of goods by retail, for example, provision shop, take-away food shop, departmental store. Space used for the provision of services, such as tailoring, barber/beauty salon and photographic are also included.

3.5 Capital Values and Prices The retail strata sales market was boosted by the increase in demand from retail investors, after the implementation of the Additional Buyer’s Stamp Duty (ABSD) in Q1 2013 for residential properties. Average freehold capital values increased by as much as 16% YOY in both Q1 and Q2 2013 for Orchard/ Scotts Road. That for Other City Areas also increased by 6.4% YOY in Q1 2013 (Figure 3.5).

Figure 3.5: Average Freehold Resale Prime Retail Capital Values

Source: DTZ Consulting & Research, April 2015

Since then, with the slowdown of economy and the implementation of the TDSR framework in June 2013, the strata sales market stabilised. Average capital value for freehold resale prime retail units in the Other City Area was $3,180 per sq ft in Q1 2015. This was almost 50% lower than that for Orchard/ Scotts Road, where there is limited strata-titled stock.

There are limited sales transactions for retail in Raffles Place. Two units at The Arcade were transacted in Q1 2015, with unit prices ranging from $7,863 per sq ft for a 248 sq ft unit to $12,000 per sq ft for a 65 sq ft unit (Table 3.5).

3.6 Outlook The retail market in Singapore will continue to face challenges with increasing labour costs, revision of foreign hiring quota, as well as changing consumer habits and trends, e.g. the increasing use of e-retailing. The increasing affluence of Singapore residents and popularity of budget travelling has also led to leakage of shopper dollars. Malls in Singapore are no longer only competing among themselves, but also with those in the region.

While Orchard/ Scotts Road area will continue to be the main shopping destination in Singapore, attracting not only local shoppers but also visitors, the expected completion of commercial, residential and hotel developments will increase the primary catchment size in Raffles Place. DTZ estimates that office worker population in the CBD will increase from the existing 200,000 workers to some 235,000 workers in the next few years. The additional 2,200 residential units and almost 300 hotel keys in the area will also contribute to the increase in live-in population in the CBD.

However, retail offerings in the CBD will continue to focus on office workers with weekday trading. Competition of retail developments in the CBD will also intensify, with the completion of new retail spaces in the area. To attract shoppers and maintain competitiveness, retailers and shopping centre management in the CBD will have to continue to refresh their concepts and innovate. On the other hand, the sizable on-site catchment and relatively lower rental will continue to attract retailers, especially start-ups and niche retailers, to test their concepts, which in turn add dynamism and diversity to the retail scene in the CBD.

With the challenging overall retail market in Singapore, retail rents are not expected to grow significantly in the next three years. Nevertheless, Singapore will continue to be a popular shopping destination. With the government actively promoting Singapore not only as a tourist attraction but also as a regional Meetings, Incentives, Conventions and Exhibitions (MICE) destination, as well as the activities being held in 2015 to celebrate SG50, the retail market is expected to be relatively resilient.

One Raffles Place is a unique mixed-use development in the CBD, with a critical mass of Grade-A office space and one of the largest shopping malls in the area. With its excellent location at the heart of the Raffles Place and seamless connection to Raffles Place MRT interchange station, One Raffles Place is well-positioned vis-à-vis other premium and Grade-A offices in the vicinity (Table 4.3). In addition, One Raffles Place Tower Two is one of the most recent additions to Raffles Place, which has seen limited new supply over the past five years.

Average monthly Grade-A office rental values in Raffles Place have increased by more than 10% in the last three years. With some leases expiring this year, the subject property may experience some positive rental reversion in 2015.

4.5 SWOT Analysis: Office Strengths Opportunities • Strategically located in the heart of Raffles

Place, the traditional CBD. Raffles Place, together with Marina Bay, is Singapore’s financial and business hub. Raffles Place is expected to remain a focal point of the CBD, amid the rapid growth of the Marina Bay precinct and will benefit from the seamless expansion; subject property’s strategic location will remain a strong pull-factor to prospective tenants

• World class design - Designed by Pritzker Prize laureate Kenzo Tange (Tower One) and the internationally acclaimed architect Paul Noritaka Tange (Tower Two)

• Iconic and landmark building – One Raffles Place Tower One is one of the tallest buildings in the CBD (280m, 63-storeys). Enjoys 360 degree panoramic view of the entire city and beyond to the Straits of Singapore. o 1-Altitude, a multi-concept lifestyle F&B

and entertainment destination (16,000 sq ft) is located on levels 61 to 63 of One Raffles Place Tower One. It is one of the world’s highest al freasco bar. It is a popular venue for corporate/ business events.

• Excellent accessibilityo Served by Ayer Rajah Expressway (AYE),

Central Expressway (CTE), East Coast Expressway (ECP) and Marina Coastal Expressway (MCE)

o Located directly above and seamlessly linked to the Raffles Place MRT station, a major MRT interchange for the East West and North South Lines

o Connected to a comprehensive underground network of air-conditioned pedestrian walkways linking to other developments in Raffles Place e.g., OUE Bayfront, Ocean Financial Centre and Republic Plaza as well as Marina Bay e.g., One Raffles Quay and Marina Bay Financial Centre and Marina Bay Link Mall

• Limited completions in the vicinity – Office buildings in the surroundings are relatively old and apart from GSH Plaza (expected to complete in 2016), there are no other known office completions in the Raffles Place micro-market from 2015 to 2020

• Apart from the regular mainstay i.e., finance & insurance and business services, there are new industries driving the office markete.g., Telecommunications, Media and Technology (TMT), particularly companies in Social, Mobile, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC) activities. This is in line with the growth clusters earmarked by the government

• The subject property’s office floorplates are mid-sized (8,800 sq ft to 10,500 sq ft), compared with new and upcoming offices in the CBD (20,000 sq ft and above), making One Raffles Place unique

• Opportunity to command rental premium over other offices in the CBD due to its green features, which draws MNCs with strong environmental awareness and social corporate responsibility

• Direct access to One Raffles Place retail podium

• Proximity to complementary amenities and developments including retail, entertainment, hospitality and residential developments as well as Raffles Place Park

• Building specifications suitable for a diverse range of tenants including MNCs and professional firms. This includes: o Spacious and distinctive lobbies that

convey a strong sense of arrival and prestige

o Column-free floorplates o Dual power feed o Regular floorplates, raised floors and high

security features (bomb-blast protected)• One Raffles Place Tower Two is certified

BCA Greenmark Platinum for its eco-friendly green features such as double glazed low emission glass, photovoltaic cells and rainwater harvesting

• Diverse tenant base with established blue-chip tenants across many industries:o Finance & insurance – Canadian Imperial

Bank of Commerce, Lazard Asia Ltd and Pramerica Real Estate Investors (Asia) Pte Ltd

o Others – Michael Page International, Mitsui Chemicals Asia Pacific Ltd, Mubadala Petroleum (SE Asia) Limited, Protiviti Pte Ltd, TNT Express Worldwide N.V. and Virgin Active

Weaknesses Threats • Relatively older building - One Raffles Place

Tower One was completed in 1988• Competition from future CBD office

developments, especially in 2016 o Following the limited new supply in the CBD

in 2015 (0.1 million sq ft), there is significant supply expected in 2016 (2.3 million sq ft), from Marina One in Marina Bay and V on Shenton in Shenton Way/ Robinson Road/ Cecil Street

• Competition from offices in decentralised areas, particularly those with Grade-A specifications

4.6 SWOT Analysis: Retail Strengths Opportunities • The largest shopping centre (about 98,500

sq ft) in the heart of the Raffles Place • Excellent accessibility – Seamlessly

connected to Raffles Place MRT interchange station and other developments in the CBD

• Part of the retail cluster with other retail spaces in Raffles Place e.g. Chevron House, Change Alley, The Arcade, OUE Link and Raffles Xchange. Marina Bay Link Mall, is also directly linked to One Raffles Place via air-conditioned underground pedestrian walkways

• Enjoys a substantial captive catchment. Based on latest DTZ estimates, there is about: o 200,000 office workers working in the CBD o 4,600 residential units in the Downtown

Core Planning Area o 970 hotel27 keys in the Raffles Place micro-

market • Newly refurbished shopping centre

provides contemporary shopping experience compared to the surrounding retail offerings which are relatively dated

• The mall is well-positioned to cater to the office catchment and features a wide spectrum of retail, F&B and services. In particular, there are: o International fashion and accessories

brands e.g. H&M, UNIQLO, Melissa and Victoria’s Secret

o Unique F&B concepts, especially at the basement level, which are popular with office workers during weekday lunch

• Expected increased catchment, alongside the URA’s Live-Work-Play vision for the city centre (especially Marina Bay): o Live-in population in Downtown Core

Planning Area expected to increase, on the back of an expected completion of 2,400 residential units in the next six years

o About 840 hotel keys expected in Raffles Place in the next three years

o Potential spillover benefits from Singapore River One, a private sector-led initiative responsible for the place management of the entire Singapore River precinct, including Boat Quay, which is near the subject property

• Increase range of retail offerings to better cater to the live-in population and visitors e.g. business travellers, given the expected increase in these source marketso As the live-in and visitor catchments reach

critical mass, there is a potential to cater to weekday nights/ weekend events

o Continue to develop unique F&B concepts to attract both weekday and weekend crowds

27 Includes serviced apartments.

Weaknesses Threats • Raffles Place is not a destinated shopping

location, compared with Orchard Road – mainly perceived for convenience shopping and impulse buying

• The retail offerings cater mainly to office workers in the vicinity

• Short trading hours - while the shopping mall operates from 10am to 9pm daily, there is limited footfall aside from weekday lunch hours

• Competition from other retail developments in the CBD e.g., OUE Downtown. There are also sizeable retail clusters in nearby areas along the East West Line such as: o Tanjong Pagar – Existing developments

include 100am, ancillary retail e.g., Icon Village and Orchid Hotel as well as conservation shophouse cluster at Tanjong Pagar. Future developments include Tanjong Pagar Centre (expected TOP in 2016)

o City Hall and Marina Centre – Existing developments include Suntec City Mall, Raffles City Shopping Centre, City Link Mall and Marina Square, which are connected by underground pedestrian walkways

• Competition from suburban retail malls which are conveniently located near residents. Many of the newer suburban malls also have similar brands and offerings as those in the city centre, providing alternatives to shoppers

Section 5 ConclusionDespite the challenging global economic outlook, Singapore’s economy is still expected to grow, at around 2.0% to 4.0% in 2015. According to Oxford Economics, Singapore’s economy is expected to remain healthy, with real GDP growth from 2016 to 2018 projected at around 3.4% to 3.6% per annum.

Singapore’s CBD has evolved significantly into one of the leading global financial and business hubs. Coupled with the government pro-active efforts to maintain Singapore’s competitive edge e.g., by creating a comprehensive live-work-play environment in the CBD and developing the New Downtown at Marina Bay, the CBD possesses a dynamic office and increasingly vibrant retail market.

Raffles Place is the most established and accessible business location in the CBD, with a high concentration of corporates. In particular, premium and Grade-A offices in Raffles Place are typically the preferred choice for most financial institutions and MNCs.

Office supply in Raffles Place has been relatively tight over the past decade. Offices in the area, including those that were recently completed, have achieved healthy commitments. With its increasingly diversified tenant profile, rents in Raffles Place have held up well and are less volatile, especially for the better specified premium and Grade-A offices.

The retail market in the CBD has grown and evolved significantly. It is supported by the increase in working, live-in and transient (business visitors) population. While the CBD’s retail offerings are mainly driven by office workers, the area’s growing on-site catchment and relatively lower rents will continue to attract retailers.

The subject property, One Raffles Place, is a unique mixed-use development in the CBD, with a critical mass of Grade-A office space and one of the largest shopping malls in the area. With its excellent location at the heart of the Raffles Place and seamless connection to Raffles Place MRT interchange station, One Raffles Place is both a premier business and shopping destination in the CBD.

Going forward, rentals for Grade-A office buildings in Raffles Place, especially those which are well-located e.g., direct access to MRT station, are expected to be relatively resilient, given that there are no known premium and Grade-A offices in the pipeline in the area from 2015 to 2018. In addition, existing Grade-A offices in Raffles Place are uniquely positioned, offering mainly mid-sized floor plates (typically at around 10,000 sq ft), compared with recent and future office developments that offer floor plates of 20,000 sq ft and above.

Despite the challenging economic environment and some companies adopting more flexible working arrangements, many continue to favour the CBD as a choice location. Offices with mid-sized floor plates in Raffles Place offer a strong value proposition to these corporates. Coupled with the growing diversity of occupiers in the CBD, the demand for mid-sized floor plates in Raffles Place is expected to remain relatively firm.

With the challenging overall retail market in Singapore, retail rents are not expected to grow significantly in the next three years. Nevertheless, Singapore will continue to be a popular shopping destination and the retail market is expected to be relatively resilient.

ONE RAFFLES PLACE

Raffles Place is perceived as the most accessible office location in the CBD and is expected to remain a focal point of the CBD, with its strategic location offering a strong pull-factor for existing and prospective tenants

The Property is situated above and seamlessly linked to the Raffles Place MRT interchange station, one of Singapore’s major interchange stations, which links to an extensive underground network of pedestrian walkways connecting other developments within Raffles Place as well as Marina Bay

Enjoys enhanced accessibility to other parts of Singapore via proximity to major expressways:- Marina Coastal Expressway- Central Expressway- East Coast Parkway- Ayer Rajah Expressway

2. ACQUISITION AT AN ATTRACTIVE PRICE

The agreed value for the OUBC Interest of S$1,715 million translates to an attractive price of S$2,382 per square foot (“psf”), compared to recently transacted prices of Grade-A properties in the Raffles Place area

Rents for Grade-A buildings in Raffles Place with direct access to the MRT station are expected to be relatively resilient:

- No known premium and Grade-A office developments to be completed in the area from 2015 to 2018

- Existing Grade-A offices in Raffles Place are uniquely positioned, offering mainly mid-sized floor plates of around 10,000 sq ft compared with recent and future office developments that offer floor plates of 20,000 sq ft and above

As at 1Q 2015, the Independent Market Research Consultant(1) estimates the average office rent in Marina Bay to be 20% higher than that in Raffles Place:

- Strong value proposition for businesses to be located in Raffles Place

Current office occupancy rate of the Property is estimated to be about 85.0% to 90.0%, as compared to the average occupancy rate for Grade-A offices in Raffles Place in 1Q 2015 of about 97.2%:

- Potential for occupancy rate to increase by about 7 to 12 percentage points (“ppt”)

Current office rent at the Property is estimated to be S$9.50 to S$10.00 psf per month, compared to the average rent for Grade-A offices in Raffles Place in 1Q 2015 of about S$11.50 psf per month:

- Potential for positive rental reversion of about 15% to 21%
