Dear Applicant<br />

On behalf of <strong>Stockland</strong> Funds Management Limited, it is my pleasure to invite you to acquire Units in <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

Direct Office Trust No. 2 (Trust).<br />

The Trust provides Applicants with the opportunity to gain exposure to a new commercial office campus which is<br />

currently under construction in Macquarie Park, Sydney, and which will be fully leased to Optus for an average<br />

lease term of 15 years. The Property has been valued at $351.1 million assuming the Buildings were completed<br />

on 1 July 2005 and will be owned by Macquarie Park Trust (MPT). The Trust will hold a 49% indirect interest in the<br />

Property from Lease Commencement.<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong>, one of Australia’s leading listed property groups, will contribute its extensive property management<br />

expertise with the aim of maximising the financial return from the Property. <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust will provide a strong<br />

alignment of interests with Investors by:<br />

- indirectly owning at least 31% of the Property on Lease Commencement; and<br />

- intending to apply to purchase 5% of the Units on equal terms and conditions with other Investors.<br />

The Offer seeks to raise $85.867 million from Investors. Investors will pay for their Units in two instalments. The<br />

First Instalment of $0.40 per Unit is payable on Application, and the Final Instalment of $0.60 per Unit is payable,<br />

subject to certain conditions, in approximately eight years' time. To evidence their ownership interest Investors<br />

will receive Instalment Receipts to be held until the Final Instalment Payment Date, at which time they will receive<br />

fully paid Units.<br />

Key attributes of the Offer to Investors include:<br />

- an indirect investment through MPT in six new campus-style office buildings which are currently under<br />

construction;<br />

- a guarantee and indemnity from <strong>Stockland</strong>, or <strong>Stockland</strong> related entities, protecting Investors from<br />

development risks until Lease Commencement;<br />

- a long term lease to Optus from Lease Commencement, which is guaranteed by SingTel Optus Pty Limited,<br />

an entity rated A+ stable by Standard & Poor’s 1 ;<br />

- a forecast cash yield on the First Instalment equal to the floating 90-day bank bill rate, which steps up to 7.50%<br />

per annum on Lease Commencement;<br />

- distributions that are paid quarterly and are forecast to be 100% tax deferred during the Forecast Period to 30<br />

June 2009;<br />

- a Limited Liquidity Facility provided by Westpac that gives all Investors the opportunity to apply to sell a limited<br />

number of Instalment Receipts on or after Lease Commencement, subject to conditions; and<br />

- an Offer fully underwritten by Westpac (85%) and <strong>Stockland</strong> (15%).<br />

These attributes should be read in conjunction with the risks identified in Section 10 of this PDS.<br />

I encourage Applicants to read this PDS carefully and submit an Application Form as soon as possible. If you have<br />

any enquiries about the Offer, please consult your financial adviser before making a decision whether to invest.<br />

Yours faithfully<br />

strategy<br />

The Offer, which is the subject of this PDS, is for 85,867,000<br />

Units issued at $1.00 each. Payment for the Units will be<br />

made in two instalments:<br />

- the First Instalment of $0.40 per Unit is payable on<br />

Application; and<br />

- the Final Instalment of $0.60 per Unit is, subject to certain<br />

conditions, scheduled for payment on 30 June 2013.<br />

The Security Trustee will hold legal title to the Units while the<br />

Final Instalment remains unpaid. Investors will receive<br />

Instalment Receipts, which they will hold until the Final<br />

Instalment Payment Date, as evidence of their beneficial<br />

interest in Units. Once the Final Instalment is paid, Investors<br />

will receive fully paid Units.<br />

Investors will not be required to pay the Final Instalment of<br />

$0.60 per Unit until the Final Instalment Payment Date<br />

(expected to be 30 June 2013); however, Investors will be<br />

required to pay Interest and Fees on the Final Instalment.<br />

annum until 30 June 2013.<br />

pay the Security Interest Holder the Final Instalment on the<br />

Final Instalment Payment Date and to pay Interest and Fees on<br />

the Final Instalment when due. An Investor may also be liable<br />

to pay default interest on any unpaid amount together with<br />

recovery costs.<br />

SFML is the Security Interest Holder; however, it is intended<br />

that Westpac will become the Security Interest Holder shortly<br />

after Final Allocation. The Security Interest Holder as at Lease<br />

Commencement will be required to pay the balance of the<br />

unpaid call on Units ($0.60 per Unit) to the Responsible Entity.<br />

The Trust will:<br />

Risks<br />

Key risks specific to an investment in the Trust include:<br />

- if Lease Commencement has not occurred by 1 July 2008<br />

or such longer period as approved by Investors by Special<br />

Resolution, Investors will receive their Application Monies<br />

back in full;<br />

- if Lease Commencement occurs prior to 1 July 2008, but<br />

after 1 July 2007, Investors will continue to receive the<br />

90-day bank bill rate until Lease Commencement;<br />

- from Lease Commencement, Investors will have an indirect<br />

interest in the Property which will be leased to a single<br />

tenant, which means that Investors will be exposed to the<br />

risk that Optus and the Guarantor of the Optus Lease,<br />

SingTel Optus Pty Limited, default on their obligations;<br />

- there is no secondary market and no redemption facility for<br />

Instalment Receipts, and although a Limited Liquidity Facility<br />

is intended to operate from Lease Commencement, the<br />

Limited Liquidity Facility may be terminated at any time<br />

without notice to Investors under certain circumstances; and<br />

- the Bank Loan and liability for the Final Instalment, which<br />

when aggregated, increases the Gearing Ratio to 90%, may<br />

magnify the losses (and gains) to Investors.<br />

funds<br />

The report in Section 13 prepared by Deloitte states a tax<br />

deduction for Interest and Fees paid by Investors on the Final<br />

Instalment is likely to be available where the Investor’s purpose<br />

for investing is the derivation of future assessable income<br />

(other than capital gains) in excess of the amount of these<br />

deductions.<br />

Trustees of superannuation entities should obtain their own<br />

professional advice and exercise their own skill and care in<br />

determining whether an investment in the Trust is appropriate.<br />

The report in Section 14 prepared by Mallesons Stephen<br />

Jaques states that:<br />

- Instalment Receipts do not constitute a “borrowing”, but<br />

there is a risk that APRA or the ATO may take a different<br />

view; and<br />

- for the purposes of complying with the "in-house" asset<br />

rules, a SMSF would need to restrict its investment under<br />

the terms of the Offer together with any other "in-house"<br />

assets it has, to 5% of the market value of all of its assets.<br />

of the Offer<br />

2.1 The Offer<br />

The Offer, which is the subject of this PDS, is for the<br />

sale by <strong>Stockland</strong> Funds Management Limited (SFML)<br />

of 85,867,000 Units at $1.00 each. The investment<br />

will be evidenced by Instalment Receipts. SFML is<br />

the seller of the Units and the issuer of Instalment<br />

Receipts.<br />

Instalment Receipts represent an Investor's beneficial<br />

interest in Units and are functionally similar to partly<br />

paid units. By participating in the Offer, Investors will<br />

acquire the benefits of ownership of Units subject to<br />

the obligation to pay the Final Instalment and Interest<br />

and Fees on the Final Instalment.<br />

Following payment of the First Instalment on<br />

Application, Investors will receive Instalment Receipts<br />

which they will hold until the Final Instalment is paid,<br />

though they can transfer or sell their Instalment<br />

Receipts (and hence their interest in the underlying<br />

Units) prior to the Final Instalment Payment Date.<br />

While the Final Instalment remains unpaid, legal title<br />

to the Units will be held by the Security Trustee.<br />

Upon payment of the Final Instalment by Investors to<br />

the Security Interest Holder, the Instalment Receipts<br />

and Units will be redeemed and new Units will be<br />

issued to Investors within 40 Business Days. Deloitte<br />

has confirmed in its Taxation Report in Section 13 that<br />

CGT rollover relief should be available to Investors<br />

(subject to any changes in the law). Upon issue of<br />

new Units, Investors will then have both the legal and<br />

beneficial interest in the Units.<br />

The First Instalment payable by Investors is $0.40 per<br />

Unit on Application. The Final Instalment of $0.60 per<br />

Unit will be payable to the Security Interest Holder on<br />

the Final Instalment Payment Date (in approximately<br />

eight years time, subject to certain conditions detailed<br />

in Sections 4.4 and 4.5).<br />

Details<br />

of the Offer (cont.)<br />

SFML is presently the beneficial owner of all of the<br />

Units with legal title held by the Security Trustee. The<br />

Units were issued for $1.00 each and are currently<br />

paid up to a nominal amount. SFML will use the<br />

proceeds of the Offer to ensure that the Units are<br />

paid up to $0.40 per Unit on or before the date of<br />

Final Allocation. The Trust will then use:<br />

- the paid up value of the Units; and<br />

- the first tranche of the Term Loan Facility,<br />

to pay the Trust’s establishment and Offer costs and<br />

to make a loan to MPT on which the Trust will receive<br />

interest. Section 8.6 details the source and<br />

application of these funds.<br />

The Security Trustee will hold the Units on trust for<br />

Investors (who will have the beneficial interest in the<br />

Units) subject to the rights of the Security Interest<br />

Holder as unpaid vendor. SFML is currently the<br />

Security Interest Holder. However, it is intended that<br />

Westpac will become the Security Interest Holder<br />

shortly after Final Allocation and therefore will be<br />

entitled to receive Interest and Fees and the Final<br />

Instalment from Investors.<br />

MPT owns the Property and has entered into an<br />

agreement with <strong>Stockland</strong> Development (a related<br />

company of SFML) to construct the Buildings.<br />

Construction has commenced and is estimated to be<br />

completed by 30 June 2007. Section 5 sets out<br />

further information on the Property.<br />

On Lease Commencement (estimated to be 1 July<br />

2007), the Trust will use:<br />

- the balance of the Term Loan Facility;<br />

- the proceeds available following repayment of the<br />

loan made to MPT; and<br />

- the final call of $0.60 per Unit to be paid by the<br />

Security Interest Holder,<br />

to subscribe for 49% of the Ordinary Units in MPT.<br />

Section 8.6 also details the source and application of<br />

these funds.<br />

If Lease Commencement does not occur by 1 July<br />

2008 (which allows for one year beyond the<br />

scheduled completion date) or such longer period as<br />

approved by Investors by Special Resolution, then:<br />

- <strong>Stockland</strong> Corporation will be required to pay the<br />

Trust an amount equal to the Trust’s establishment<br />

and Offer costs; and<br />

- the Responsible Entity will redeem all Units and<br />

repay Application Monies (First Instalment) to<br />

Investors. Investors will not be entitled to interest<br />

on their Application Monies but will be entitled to<br />

retain any distributions paid by the Trust up to the<br />

date of repayment.<br />

In these circumstances, Investors will be released<br />

from their obligation to pay the Final Instalment. MPT<br />

has the right to repay the loan from the Trust (which<br />

then obliges <strong>Stockland</strong> Corporation to reimburse the<br />

Trust for establishment and Offer costs) at any time<br />

prior to 1 July 2008 if <strong>Stockland</strong> Development, in its<br />

reasonable opinion, advises MPT that Lease<br />

Commencement cannot be achieved by 1 July 2008.<br />

2.2 Fully underwritten Offer<br />

SFML has entered into an Underwriting Agreement<br />

with Westpac and <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust under which<br />

Westpac has underwritten the subscriptions for 85%<br />

of the Units and <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust has underwritten the<br />

subscriptions for the remaining 15% of the Units (of<br />

which <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust intends to apply for 5% of the<br />

Units as a cornerstone investor). Further information<br />

on the Underwriting Agreement is provided in<br />

Section 15.4.<br />

2.3 Minimum investment<br />

Applications must be for a minimum of 25,000 Units<br />

and thereafter in multiples of 1,000 Units. As a<br />

minimum:<br />

- the First Instalment ($0.40 per Unit) payable on<br />

Application is $10,000; and<br />

- the Final Instalment ($0.60 per Unit) payable on<br />

the Final Instalment Payment Date (scheduled for<br />

30 June 2013, subject to conditions) is $15,000.<br />

The Responsible Entity may, with the agreement of<br />

the Underwriters, waive the minimum Application<br />

requirements.<br />

- MPT will be required to repay the loan provided by<br />

the Trust;

Details<br />

of the Offer (cont.)<br />

2.7 No cooling off<br />

Investors should note that the Trust will not be "liquid"<br />

for the purposes of the Corporations Act. The Trust<br />

will:<br />

- provide a loan to MPT on which the Trust will<br />

receive interest until Lease Commencement<br />

(estimated to be 1 July 2007); and<br />

- from Lease Commencement, hold a 49% indirect<br />

interest in the Property via Ordinary Units in MPT.<br />

The loan to MPT is not repayable on call and Ordinary<br />

Units in MPT cannot be readily redeemed. Therefore<br />

there will be no cooling off period in relation to<br />

Applications. By submitting an Application, Applicants<br />

will be deemed to have applied for the number of<br />

Units for which payment is made. Once an<br />

Application has been lodged, it cannot be withdrawn.<br />

However, Investors may apply to sell their Instalment<br />

Receipts using the Limited Liquidity Facility on or<br />

after Lease Commencement, which is estimated to<br />

be 1 July 2007. The conditions of the Limited<br />

Liquidity Facility are detailed in Section 3.7.<br />

2.8 Important considerations<br />

Applicants should clearly understand that, if their<br />

Application is successful, they take on a number of<br />

obligations including the payment of Interest and Fees<br />

on the Final Instalment on a quarterly basis and<br />

payment of the Final Instalment on the Final<br />

Instalment Payment Date. The payment of the<br />

Interest and Fees will coincide with the quarterly<br />

distributions made by the Trust and will be<br />

automatically deducted by the Security Trustee from<br />

Investors’ entitlement to receive gross distributions.<br />

Section 4.6 details the Interest and Fees payable.<br />

Investors should note that they will have an effective<br />

Gearing Ratio of 90% on Final Allocation taking into<br />

account the liability associated with the Final<br />

Instalment (30% Gearing Ratio) and the Bank Loan<br />

(60% Gearing Ratio). The level of the Gearing Ratio<br />

may change over time depending on the drawn<br />

balance of the Bank Loan, the Final Instalment and<br />

the carrying value of the Trust’s gross assets.<br />

The obligations and risks associated with the Final<br />

Instalment are detailed in Sections 4 and 10.4. It is<br />

important to note that the Security Interest Holder<br />

has full recourse to an Investor for payment of all<br />

outstanding amounts, including Interest and Fees and<br />

the Final Instalment. Should the Trust not perform as<br />

forecast, Investors may need to pay all or part of the<br />

Interest and Fee payments and the Final Instalment<br />

(together with any default interest and costs) from<br />

their own resources. In certain circumstances, the<br />

Final Instalment will become payable prior to 30 June<br />

2013 (see Section 4.4). Investors should note that if<br />

Westpac becomes the Security Interest Holder<br />

following Final Allocation, all Interest and Fee<br />

payments and the Final Instalment will be owed to<br />

Westpac and Westpac has no involvement with or<br />

control over the performance of the Trust and the<br />

Units or Instalment Receipts.<br />

Investors should consult their financial adviser before<br />

deciding whether to invest in Units.<br />

The Financial Forecasts assume payment of the<br />

Interest and Fees.

The Trust<br />

13<br />

3.1 Structure of the investment<br />

The Trust is a managed investment scheme which<br />

was registered with ASIC on 12 July 2005. It currently<br />

has 85,867,000 Units on issue which are held by the<br />

Security Trustee and beneficially owned by SFML.<br />

The Units were issued for an issue price of $1.00<br />

each and are paid only to a nominal amount.<br />

The Trust has been established solely for the purpose<br />

of providing a loan to MPT until Lease<br />

Commencement and investing in Ordinary Units in<br />

MPT on Lease Commencement. MPT owns the<br />

Property. MPT is currently wholly owned by<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Trust. On Lease Commencement,<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Trust intends to reduce its interest in MPT<br />

to a minimum of 31% by facilitating the issue of<br />

ordinary units in MPT to the Trust (49%) and a<br />

Wholesale Investor (20%). <strong>Stockland</strong> is currently<br />

negotiating with a Wholesale Investor on price and<br />

terms similar to that offered to the Trust. Any<br />

proposed acquisition of ordinary units in MPT by<br />

Wholesale Investor(s) prior to Lease Commencement<br />

will be made on price and terms similar to that<br />

provided to the Trust. Accordingly, MPT will be<br />

owned by at least three separate entities on Lease<br />

Commencement.<br />

It is not intended that the Trust will acquire additional<br />

properties in the future. However, MPT may<br />

construct further buildings for Optus on the Property<br />

if Optus requests such space, planning approval is<br />

obtained, and MPT and Optus agree on the terms of<br />

an additional lease. If the Trust is not able to fund its<br />

share of the construction costs (which may be<br />

achieved by increasing the amount of the Bank Loan),<br />

then the Trust's Property Interest may be diluted to<br />

less than 49% of the ordinary units in MPT. The<br />

Responsible Entity will not agree to the construction<br />

of further buildings if the Financial Forecasts are<br />

adversely affected.<br />

Commencement, to fund the acquisition<br />

of Ordinary Units in MPT<br />

Capital Expenditure Facility To fund the Trust's share of capital 3.000 Variable 3<br />

expenditure<br />

Overdraft Facility To fund the day-to-day cash flow 1.000 Variable 4<br />

management of the Trust<br />

Total 107.226 6<br />

Notes:<br />

1. The Term Loan Facility will be drawn in two tranches: $7.425 million on the date of Final Allocation and the<br />

balance of $95.801 million on Lease Commencement.<br />

2. The interest rate on the Term Loan Facility has been fixed at 6.45% per annum (including the line fee and<br />

margin) for the period from 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2013. The interest rate on the first tranche of the Term<br />

Loan Facility has been fixed at 6.37% per annum until 30 June 2007. The Responsible Entity has agreed<br />

with the Financier to defer or prepay some of the components of the Bank Loan which is beneficial to the<br />

Trust.<br />

3. The variable rate of interest on the Capital Expenditure Facility is based on the 90-day bank bill rate plus a<br />

margin of 0.325% per annum.<br />

4. The variable rate of interest on the Overdraft Facility is based on the bank bill overdraft rate plus a margin of<br />

0.325% per annum.<br />

5. The margin on the Term Loan Facility and line fee on the Bank Loan are being deferred until Lease<br />

Commencement, and then the remaining margin and line fee for the period to 30 June 2013 is intended to<br />

be prepaid on Lease Commencement. The interest rate shown above of 6.45% per annum for the Term<br />

Loan Facility is prior to any deferment or prepayment of the margin.<br />

6. An establishment fee of 0.15% of the total Bank Loan facility is payable on the first drawdown of the<br />

facility.


15<br />

3.3 Trust distributions<br />

Trust distributions will be paid quarterly within two<br />

months from the end of the Quarter in respect of<br />

earnings of the Trust for the preceding three months<br />

ending 30 September, 31 December, 31 March and<br />

30 June.<br />

The first distribution for the Trust will be for the period<br />

from Final Allocation until 31 December 2005 and will<br />

be paid by 28 February 2006.<br />

3.4 Trust investment strategy<br />

Prior to 31 December 2012, the Responsible Entity<br />

will convene a meeting of Investors to consider an<br />

investment strategy recommended by the<br />

Responsible Entity which could include, but is not<br />

limited to, the following:<br />

- continuation of the Trust with a defined investment<br />

and liquidity strategy;<br />

- sale of the Units in consideration for units in<br />

another trust;<br />

- a public offering of the Trust or the Trust’s Property<br />

Interest with the potential participation of<br />

Investors by way of a separate offer document;<br />

and/or<br />

- outright disposal of the Trust’s Property Interest<br />

and termination of the Trust, in which case the<br />

Trust must first offer its interest in MPT to the<br />

other unitholders in MPT, including <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust,<br />

in line with the process set out in Section 3.5.<br />

The Responsible Entity will recommend an<br />

investment strategy which it considers will deliver the<br />

overall most favourable outcome to Investors, on<br />

balance, having regard to the risk and rewards of the<br />

strategy, the financial position of the Trust and the<br />

obligation of Investors to pay the Final Instalment.<br />

The directors of the Responsible Entity will be<br />

required to approve the approach to be recommended<br />

to Investors. Any <strong>Stockland</strong> executive directors on the<br />

board of the Responsible Entity will be excluded from<br />

voting in relation to the selection of any investment<br />

strategy recommendation that involves <strong>Stockland</strong> as a<br />

principal other than as defined in this PDS (for<br />

example, as Property manager or Responsible Entity -<br />

refer to Section 7.2).<br />

If an investment strategy contemplates a deferral of<br />

the Final Instalment Payment Date, then the consent<br />

of the Security Interest Holder will be required before<br />

the strategy can be recommended or approved by<br />

Investors and implemented by the Responsible Entity.<br />

The Security Interest Holder may, in its absolute<br />

discretion, withhold its consent to any deferral of the<br />

Final Instalment Payment Date and will not be<br />

required to consider the interests of Investors when<br />

making its determination.<br />

3.5 Process for disposal of the Trust’s<br />

Property Interest<br />

In the event that the Responsible Entity makes a<br />

recommendation to Investors to dispose of the Trust’s<br />

Property Interest and Investors support the<br />

recommendation by passing a Special Resolution, the<br />

Responsible Entity will endeavour to sell the Trust’s<br />

Property Interest. The disposal of the Trust’s Property<br />

Interest may involve:<br />

- a disposal to <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust and/or the other<br />

investors in MPT;<br />

- a disposal through a public sale process; and/or<br />

- an alternative exit mechanism.<br />

In accordance with the proposed MPT Investors'<br />

Deed (refer to Section 15.3), if the Trust wishes to<br />

deal with the Trust's Property Interest, it must first<br />

give notice to the responsible entity of MPT which<br />

will commission a valuation of the Property and<br />

calculate the Net Tangible Asset (NTA) per Ordinary<br />

Unit. The Trust must first offer its interest to the other<br />

MPT unitholders by written notice at a price<br />

calculated at the NTA per Ordinary Unit (Original<br />

Offer).<br />

The other MPT unitholders will then have 20 Business<br />

Days to accept the Original Offer. If one or more<br />

unitholders accept the Original Offer, the Responsible<br />

Entity will dispose of the Trust's Property Interest to<br />

those parties on the terms set out in the written<br />

notice of Original Offer.


16<br />

3.<br />

The Trust (cont.)<br />

If the Original Offer is not accepted within 20<br />

Business Days, then the Responsible Entity may<br />

either:<br />

- commence a public auction process to sell the<br />

Trust’s Property Interest. The Responsible Entity<br />

will have 115 Business Days from the date of its<br />

Original Offer to sell the Trust’s Property Interest.<br />

If the Trust’s Property Interest is not sold in that<br />

period, the Responsible Entity must again comply<br />

with the pre-emption process in the proposed<br />

MPT Investors’ Deed as described above; or<br />

- offer the Trust's Property Interest to other MPT<br />

unitholders by written notice at a lower price or<br />

materially different terms than the Original Offer<br />

(Substitute Offer) after it has received approval<br />

from Investors by majority resolution. The other<br />

MPT unitholders will then have 15 Business Days<br />

within which to accept the Substitute Offer. If the<br />

Substitute Offer is accepted, the Responsible<br />

Entity will dispose of the Trust's Property Interest<br />

to those accepting MPT unitholders on the terms<br />

set out in the written notice of Substitute Offer.<br />

The Trust's Property Interest cannot be sold to a major<br />

competitor of Optus. In addition, the proposed MPT<br />

Investors' Deed has a prohibition on any one<br />

unitholder in MPT owning 50% or more of the<br />

ordinary units in MPT after Lease Commencement.<br />

In the event the Trust's Property Interest, or part<br />

thereof, is sold to <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust, the Responsible<br />

Entity may agree that <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust can pay the<br />

consideration for the Trust's Property Interest by cash,<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Securities or a combination of both.<br />

Deloitte has confirmed in its Taxation Report in Section<br />

13 that, in certain circumstances, capital gains tax<br />

rollover may be available in relation to such a sale.<br />

3.6 Transfers of Instalment Receipts<br />

or Units<br />

An investment in the Trust should be considered a<br />

medium to long term investment. Investors may<br />

transfer their Instalment Receipts to third parties at<br />

any time in accordance with the terms and conditions<br />

detailed below and in the Security Trust Deed (refer to<br />

Section 4.10).<br />

To transfer Instalment Receipts Investors must<br />

complete a transfer form available from the<br />

Responsible Entity (or download the transfer form<br />

from the Responsible Entity’s website), and forward<br />

the completed form to the Registrar as directed on<br />

the transfer form. The transferee is required to sign<br />

the form in acknowledgement of the transferee’s<br />

agreement to be bound by the terms of the Offer and<br />

the Security Trust Deed.<br />

A transfer form must be received no later than 15<br />

Business Days before the end of a Quarter for it to be<br />

processed during that Quarter. If the transfer form is<br />

received no later than 15 Business Days prior to the<br />

Quarter end and it is accepted by the Responsible<br />

Entity, the transferee will become the registered<br />

holder of the Instalment Receipts the subject of the<br />

transfer form as at the first day of the following<br />

Quarter. The transferee will be entitled to<br />

distributions and will incur Interest and Fees on their<br />

Final Instalment in relation to the Quarter in which the<br />

transfer form was accepted and processed. The<br />

Responsible Entity will endeavour to provide both the<br />

Investor and the transferee with confirmation of the<br />

transfer of Instalment Receipts within 10 Business<br />

Days after the end of the Quarter in which the<br />

transfer form was received. Any transfer form<br />

submitted later than 15 Business Days prior to the<br />

Quarter end will be held by the Responsible Entity but<br />

not processed until the following Quarter.<br />

Units may only be transferred after the Final<br />

Instalment is paid and new Units issued to Investors.<br />

3.7 Limited Liquidity Facility<br />

Westpac has agreed to offer to acquire up to a total of<br />

1,000,000 Instalment Receipts per Quarter from<br />

Investors from Lease Commencement at a price<br />

calculated in accordance with a predetermined formula<br />

subject to various conditions provided in this Section 3.7<br />

(Limited Liquidity Facility). The Limited Liquidity Facility<br />

may be terminated without notice to Investors at any<br />

time and there is no guarantee that it will continue. The<br />

circumstances in which the Limited Liquidity Facility can<br />

be terminated are set out at the end of this Section 3.7.<br />

Investors who wish to apply to participate in the Limited<br />

Liquidity Facility should request a Limited Liquidity<br />

Facility transfer form from the Responsible Entity (or<br />

download the transfer form from the Responsible<br />

Entity's website), complete it and send it to the<br />

Registrar as directed on the transfer form, which will<br />

then forward it to Westpac. Completed transfer forms<br />

under the Limited Liquidity Facility will be considered an<br />

irrevocable offer by Investors and cannot be withdrawn.<br />

Investors should contact the Responsible Entity, at first<br />

instance, if they have any queries or complaints<br />

regarding the operation of the Limited Liquidity Facility.


17<br />

For applications under the Limited Liquidity Facility to<br />

be considered, Investors should send their transfer<br />

forms in time for the Registrar to receive it no later<br />

than 15 Business Days prior to the Quarter end. If an<br />

Investor submits a transfer form within the relevant<br />

time and the application is accepted by the Limited<br />

Liquidity Facility provider, then the Investor will be<br />

entitled to the distribution, and will incur Interest and<br />

Fees on their Final Instalment, for the Quarter in<br />

which the transfer form was received.<br />

Completed Limited Liquidity Facility transfer forms<br />

will be accepted by Westpac in the order of receipt.<br />

Any transfer forms that are not accepted due to the<br />

Limited Liquidity Facility being oversubscribed in any<br />

single Quarter may be included in the applications for<br />

the following Quarter’s Limited Liquidity Facility. The<br />

Responsible Entity, on behalf of Westpac, will notify<br />

Investors in writing of whether their application has<br />

been successful within 15 Business Days after the<br />

end of the Quarter in which the transfer form was<br />

received.<br />

Applications to transfer Instalment Receipts under the<br />

Limited Liquidity Facility must be for an Investor’s<br />

total holding of Instalment Receipts. Investors cannot<br />

apply to sell a portion of their Instalment Receipt<br />

holding under the Limited Liquidity Facility.<br />

The purchase price payable by Westpac for each<br />

Instalment Receipt acquired under the Limited<br />

Liquidity Facility will be the NTA per Unit less a 2.5%<br />

discount and any transaction costs (including any<br />

stamp duty). The consideration received for the<br />

transfer of Instalment Receipts under the Limited<br />

Liquidity Facility will be reduced by any outstanding<br />

financial obligations owed to the Security Interest<br />

Holder by the Investor (refer to Section 4). The<br />

purchaser of the Instalment Receipts from an Investor<br />

under the Limited Liquidity Facility will also be<br />

required to assume all future obligations of the<br />

Investor under the Security Trust Deed, including the<br />

obligation to pay Interest and Fees during the term<br />

and the obligation to pay the Final Instalment on the<br />

Final Instalment Payment Date. Westpac will charge<br />

each Investor a one-off flat fee of $110, inclusive of<br />

GST, for processing the transfer of their Instalment<br />

Receipts under the Limited Liquidity Facility.<br />

For the purposes of the Limited Liquidity Facility, the<br />

NTA per Unit will be calculated twice a year (30 June<br />

and 31 December).<br />

The most recent NTA per Unit will be disclosed in the<br />

quarterly distribution statements sent to Investors<br />

(within two months after the end of each Quarter).<br />

Westpac will pay the net consideration for the<br />

transfer of the Instalment Receipts under the Limited<br />

Liquidity Facility by cheque within 15 Business Days<br />

from the end of the Quarter.<br />

STML, on behalf of <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust, has placed a<br />

standing order with Westpac to acquire a maximum<br />

of 1,000,000 Instalment Receipts per Quarter from<br />

Lease Commencement. The standing order from<br />

STML can be withdrawn by STML at any time by<br />

written notice to Westpac, and the standing order is<br />

limited such that STML will not acquire Instalment<br />

Receipts if to do so would cause its total aggregate<br />

beneficial holding in the Trust to exceed 19.9%. The<br />

price payable by STML for the acquisition of<br />

Instalment Receipts under the standing order with<br />

Westpac is the same as the price paid by Westpac to<br />

Investors under the Limited Liquidity Facility.<br />

The Limited Liquidity Facility can be terminated by<br />

Westpac in the following circumstances:<br />

- STML, individually or together with an associated<br />

person, beneficially owns 19.9% or more of all<br />

Instalment Receipts;<br />

- STML withdraws its standing order with Westpac<br />

to acquire Instalment Receipts, which it may do at<br />

any time at its complete discretion;<br />

- the Responsible Entity convenes a meeting of<br />

Investors to consider the investment strategy of<br />

the Trust;<br />

- there is a change in control of the Responsible<br />

Entity;<br />

- the Trust’s Property Interest is sold, or STML as a<br />

unitholder in MPT disposes of its interest in the<br />

Property; or<br />

- there is a change in Westpac’s Australian Financial<br />

Services Licence such that Westpac can no longer<br />

provide the Limited Liquidity Facility.<br />

The Responsible Entity will notify Investors if the<br />

Limited Liquidity Facility is terminated with the<br />

quarterly distribution statement next following the<br />

date of termination.

The Trust (cont.)<br />

3.8 Taxation<br />

Deloitte has provided a report on the taxation<br />

consequences of investing in the Trust in its Taxation<br />

Report in Section 13. A summary of that report is<br />

provided below.<br />

Under current Australian taxation law, the Responsible<br />

Entity should not be subject to income tax in respect<br />

of the income derived by the Trust on the basis that<br />

Investors have a present entitlement to the entire net<br />

income of the Trust, and the Trust is not considered a<br />

public trading trust. The Constitution provides that<br />

Investors have a present entitlement to the net<br />

income of the Trust for each financial year. Investors<br />

will be subject to tax on their respective proportions<br />

of the Trust’s taxable income at rates applicable to<br />

each individual Investor’s personal tax circumstances.<br />

A deduction for Interest and Fee payments made by<br />

Investors on the Final Instalment may be available<br />

where the purpose of the Investor in investing in<br />

Instalment Receipts, and subsequently Units, is for<br />

the derivation of future assessable income (other than<br />

capital gains) in excess of the amount of these<br />

deductions.<br />

CGT rollover relief should be available to Investors<br />

(subject to any changes in law) when the Final<br />

Instalment is paid, resulting in a redemption of the<br />

Instalment Receipts and Units and a new issue of<br />

Units to Investors.<br />

Applicants should refer to Sections 4.7 and 13, and<br />

seek independent advice from a taxation adviser in<br />

light of their individual circumstances.<br />

3.9 Limited liability<br />

The Constitution contains provisions designed to limit<br />

members’ liability in respect of their investment in the<br />

Trust to the amount, if any, of unpaid subscription for<br />

their Units. However, Australian courts have not yet<br />

tested the effectiveness of provisions of this kind.<br />

It should be noted that Investors will have an<br />

obligation to pay the Final Instalment on the Final<br />

Instalment Payment Date (refer to Section 4.2).<br />

3.10 Labour, environmental, social and<br />

ethical standards<br />

The Responsible Entity will not take labour standards<br />

or environmental, social and ethical considerations<br />

into account in the selection, retention or realisation<br />

of investments.<br />

4.<br />

Instalment<br />

Receipts<br />

19<br />

The Instalment Receipt structure has been utilised to<br />

provide Investors with the ability to acquire a<br />

beneficial interest in a Unit by paying only $0.40 per<br />

Unit on Application. Each Unit will be paid up to $0.40<br />

by SFML by the date of Final Allocation and fully paid<br />

by the Security Interest Holder on or before Lease<br />

Commencement. Investors do not need to pay the<br />

Final Instalment of $0.60 per Unit until the Final<br />

Instalment Payment Date (scheduled to be 30 June<br />

2013), although in certain circumstances payment of<br />

the Final Instalment may be accelerated (see Section<br />

4.4) or delayed (see Section 4.5).<br />

SFML is the Security Interest Holder but it is intended<br />

that soon after Final Allocation Westpac (or its<br />

nominee) will become the Security Interest Holder<br />

under the Security Trust Deed with the right to<br />

receive the Final Instalment and Interest and Fees<br />

from Investors until the Final Instalment Payment<br />

Date. SFML or the person who becomes the<br />

Security Interest Holder will be entitled to recover the<br />

Final Instalment when due and all Interest and Fees<br />

payable on the Final Instalment. It is expected<br />

Interest and Fees will be deducted from distributions<br />

on the Units. The method for payment of the Final<br />

Instalment will be advised to Investors by the<br />

Security Interest Holder at the relevant time.<br />

4.1 Nature of Instalment Receipts<br />

By participating in the Offer, Investors will acquire a<br />

beneficial interest in Units. Each Investor will receive<br />

Instalment Receipts as evidence of their beneficial<br />

interest in the Trust. Investors will hold the<br />

Instalment Receipts until the Final Instalment<br />

Payment Date, although they can transfer or sell their<br />

Instalment Receipts (and hence their beneficial<br />

interest of the underlying Units) prior to the Final<br />

Instalment Payment Date. Upon payment of the Final<br />

Instalment by Investors, Instalment Receipts and the<br />

existing Units will be cancelled, and an equal number<br />

of new Units will be issued to Investors.<br />

Each Instalment Receipt represents evidence of an<br />

Investor's beneficial interest in one Unit which will be<br />

paid up by the Security Interest Holder to $0.40 on<br />

Final Allocation using the Application Monies from<br />

Investors with the remaining $0.60 fully paid by the<br />

Security Interest Holder on Lease Commencement.<br />

The Application Form includes undertakings by<br />

Investors to:<br />

- pay the Security Interest Holder the Final<br />

Instalment on the Final Instalment Payment Date;<br />

- pay Interest and Fees on the Final Instalment<br />

when due, including any additional default interest<br />

on, and recovery costs of, the Final Instalment;<br />

- agree to the Units being registered in the name of<br />

the Security Trustee; and<br />

- be bound by the Security Trust Deed and the<br />

Constitution.<br />

The Security Trustee will hold the Units on trust for<br />

Investors, subject to the Security Interest, whilst the<br />

Final Instalment remains outstanding.<br />

It is important to note that the Security Interest<br />

Holder has full recourse to an Investor for payment of<br />

all outstanding amounts, including Interest and Fees<br />

and the Final Instalment.<br />

The terms and conditions of the Instalment Receipts<br />

are set out in the Security Trust Deed which is<br />

summarised in this Section 4. The security trust<br />

arrangements constitute a series of separate trusts,<br />

one for each Unit, rather than a single trust. The<br />

rights and obligations attaching to the Units are set<br />

out in the Constitution which is summarised in<br />

Section 15.1.<br />

4.2 Payment of Final Instalment<br />

Each Investor is obliged to pay the Final Instalment<br />

when it is due on the Final Instalment Payment Date.<br />

Investors shown in the Instalment Receipt register<br />

five Business Days prior to the Final Instalment<br />

Payment Date will be required to pay the Final<br />

Instalment to the Security Interest Holder. The<br />

Security Interest Holder will send Investors a<br />

payment notice 30 Business Days before the Final<br />

Instalment is due.<br />

When a sale or transfer of an Instalment Receipt<br />

occurs in accordance with the process set out in<br />

Sections 3.6 or 3.7, the obligation to pay the Final<br />

Instalment is also transferred from the former<br />

Investor to the new Investor.


20<br />

4.<br />

Instalment<br />

Receipts (cont.)<br />

If the Final Instalment is paid in full, the Responsible<br />

Entity will redeem the Units and issue an equal<br />

number of new Units to the Investor within 40<br />

Business Days after the Final Instalment Payment<br />

Date (or such longer period as the Security Interest<br />

Holder may reasonably require to enable the sale of<br />

defaulted Units to be completed). Upon payment of<br />

the Final Instalment and any outstanding Interest and<br />

Fees, the Security Interest in the Unit is extinguished<br />

and the relevant Instalment Receipt cancelled.<br />

If an Investor does not pay the Final Instalment by the<br />

Final Instalment Payment Date, interest will accrue on<br />

a daily basis on the unpaid amount at an interest rate<br />

equal to Westpac's published Indicator Lending Rate<br />

plus 2.0% per annum.<br />

The Security Trustee will issue a final reminder notice<br />

to Investors who have not paid, that will set a date by<br />

which payment of the Final Instalment and accrued<br />

interest is required. If payment is not received, then<br />

the Security Interest Holder may direct the Security<br />

Trustee to sell the Units to which the Instalment<br />

Receipts relate by way of enforcement of its Security<br />

Interest and apply the proceeds of sale to pay all<br />

outstanding amounts to the Security Interest Holder<br />

(including any Interest and Fees, expenses of sale,<br />

duties and taxes owed). If there is any remaining<br />

balance from the sale, the Security Trustee will pay it<br />

to the Investor.<br />

If an Investor fails to pay the Final Instalment in full,<br />

then any amount received by the Security Interest<br />

Holder may be apportioned across all of the Units that<br />

relate to the Investor’s Instalment Receipts, with the<br />

result being that the Final Instalment on all of the<br />

Units will not be fully paid. In these circumstances,<br />

the Security Interest Holder may direct the Security<br />

Trustee to sell all of the Units and apply the proceeds<br />

of sale to pay outstanding amounts.<br />

If the net proceeds from the sale are insufficient to<br />

fully repay the Investor’s obligations, the Investor<br />

remains liable to pay the outstanding amount and any<br />

associated Interest and Fees and costs. The Security<br />

Trustee, as trustee for the Security Interest Holder,<br />

may take all necessary and appropriate action to<br />

recover the unpaid amounts including commencing<br />

legal proceedings against such Investor.<br />

Proceeds from the sale of the Trust’s Property Interest<br />

that are received prior to the sale proceeds of<br />

defaulted Units will be applied towards repayment of<br />

the Final Instalment.<br />

4.3 No voluntary early prepayment of<br />

the Final Instalment<br />

Investors do not have any right to prepay the Final<br />

Instalment prior to the Final Instalment Payment<br />

Date.<br />

4.4 Early payment of the Final<br />

Instalment<br />

Early payment of the Final Instalment may be<br />

required by the Security Interest Holder in the event<br />

that any of the following circumstances arise:<br />

- in any Quarter, distributions from the Trust are<br />

insufficient to cover a payment of Interest and<br />

Fees and any other amounts owing to the Security<br />

Interest Holder;<br />

- the Responsible Entity is replaced as the<br />

responsible entity of the Trust;<br />

- there is a Change of Control in the Trust;<br />

- there is a material breach by the Security Trustee<br />

of the terms of the Security Trust Deed;<br />

- an insolvency event occurs in respect of the<br />

Responsible Entity or the Trust; or<br />

- the Responsible Entity incurs financial<br />

indebtedness on behalf of the Trust other than that<br />

contemplated in this PDS and not otherwise<br />

approved by the Security Interest Holder.<br />

If, prior to 30 June 2013, the Security Interest Holder<br />

elects to require early repayment of the Final<br />

Instalment as a consequence of any of the above<br />

events, the Security Interest Holder must provide<br />

each Investor with a Final Instalment payment notice.<br />

This notice will require the early payment, within 30<br />

Business Days of the notice, of the Final Instalment,<br />

the payment of accrued interest (if any) on the Final<br />

Instalment and any costs incurred by the Security<br />

Interest Holder and the Security Trustee as a<br />

consequence of the acceleration of the Final<br />

Instalment Payment Date, including break costs in<br />

respect of the fixed rate funding of the Final<br />

Instalment. In these circumstances, the amount<br />

payable may be more or less than $0.60 per Unit and<br />

is unquantifiable in advance.


21<br />

4.5 Extension of the Final Instalment<br />

Payment Date<br />

If the Responsible Entity recommends a realisation of<br />

the Trust’s Property Interest, Investors support the<br />

recommendation by passing a Special Resolution and<br />

the proceeds of the Trust’s Property Interest are to be<br />

received after 30 June 2013, the Security Interest<br />

Holder will agree to extend the payment of the Final<br />

Instalment for up to three months on similar terms<br />

and interest rates unless otherwise agreed between<br />

the Security Interest Holder and the Responsible<br />

Entity.<br />

4.6 Interest and Fees on the Final<br />

Instalment<br />

Investors have an obligation to pay the following<br />

Interest and Fees on the Final Instalment until the<br />

Final Instalment Payment Date:<br />

- interest relating to the Final Instalment to be paid<br />

quarterly from Lease Commencement on the first<br />

Business Day following the end of the Quarter.<br />

The interest rate on the Final Instalment is fixed at<br />

the rate of 6.79% per annum until 30 June 2013,<br />

of which 0.50% per annum is intended to be<br />

prepaid on a present value basis for the term of<br />

the Final Instalment at Lease Commencement;<br />

- an establishment fee relating to the Final<br />

Instalment to be paid from the first distribution<br />

payable to Investors for the Quarter ending 31<br />

December 2005. The establishment fee is 1.00%<br />

of the Final Instalment; and<br />

- a line fee relating to the Final Instalment to be<br />

paid on the first Business Day following the first<br />

Quarter after Lease Commencement. The line fee<br />

is 0.25% per annum of the Final Instalment from<br />

Final Allocation to Lease Commencement and will<br />

accrue interest at the rate of 0.25% per annum of<br />

the unpaid line fee from Final Allocation until the<br />

line fee and accrued interest is paid.<br />

All Interest and Fees will be deducted by the Security<br />

Trustee from Investors’ entitlement to receive gross<br />

distributions. The Financial Forecasts in Sections 1,<br />

8.3 and 8.4 are calculated after deducting any Interest<br />

and Fees relating to the Final Instalment.<br />

If Investors do not provide their TFN or ABN, the<br />

Responsible Entity will be required to deduct tax at<br />

the highest marginal rate of tax (including the<br />

Medicare Levy) from distributions and the balance of<br />

the distribution may not be sufficient to pay Interest<br />

and Fees on the Final Instalment. If this occurs and<br />

the Investor fails to pay all outstanding amounts, the<br />

Security Interest Holder may direct the Security<br />

Trustee to sell the Units to which the Investor’s<br />

Instalment Receipts relate by way of enforcement of<br />

its Security Interest.<br />

4.7 Tax deductions for Interest and Fees<br />

Interest and Fees in respect of the Final Instalment<br />

that are deducted from distributions will be treated as<br />

having been paid by Investors as at the record date<br />

for the relevant distribution. A deduction for Interest<br />

and Fees paid by Investors on the Final Instalment<br />

may be available where the purpose of the Investor in<br />

investing in Instalment Receipts, and subsequently<br />

Units, is for the derivation of future assessable<br />

income (other than capital gains) in excess of the<br />

amount of these deductions.<br />

Applicants should read the Taxation Report in Section<br />

13 and seek independent advice from a professional<br />

taxation adviser that takes into account their individual<br />

circumstances.<br />

4.8 No encumbrances<br />

Until the Final Instalment has been paid, Units to<br />

which Instalment Receipts relate will be registered in<br />

the name of the Security Trustee. Investors may not<br />

create or permit to arise or continue to exist any<br />

mortgage, pledge, lien, charge, assignment, or other<br />

security interest over a Unit which could affect the<br />

Security Interest of the Security Interest Holder.<br />

Investors may grant security interests over their<br />

Instalment Receipts, but such security interests<br />

cannot extend to the underlying Unit and the Security<br />

Trustee and the Registrar need not recognise or give<br />

effect to any mortgage or encumbrance in respect of<br />

the Instalment Receipt.


22<br />

4.<br />

Instalment<br />

Receipts (cont.)<br />

4.9 Investors’ rights in respect of Units<br />

The Security Trust Deed operates to pass through to<br />

Investors certain rights which they would otherwise<br />

enjoy if they were recorded as the registered<br />

unitholders. These rights include the Investors’:<br />

- right to receive all distributions from the Trust,<br />

subject to the deduction of Interest and Fees due<br />

on the Final Instalment;<br />

- right to receive notices, attend meetings of the<br />

Trust and exercise voting rights on Investor<br />

resolutions put forward by the Responsible Entity;<br />

- right to receive the Trust's annual report and other<br />

Investor notices directly from the Responsible<br />

Entity as though they were holders of Units;<br />

- ability to transfer or sell their beneficial interest in<br />

Units. Any transfer of the Instalment Receipts will<br />

have the effect of selling (or transferring) the<br />

underlying beneficial interest in Units; and<br />

- right to receive the benefit of any distribution,<br />

entitlement or right, including any rights issue,<br />

bonus issue, or entitlements offer arising in<br />

respect of an Investor’s beneficial interest in the<br />

Units. Any new securities subscribed for by<br />

Investors pursuant to an entitlements offer would<br />

not usually be subject to the Security Interest.<br />

4.10 Transfers<br />

Investors may transfer their Instalment Receipts. By<br />

becoming an Investor, a transferee agrees to be<br />

bound by all of the terms of the Security Trust Deed.<br />

The rights and obligations evidenced by an Instalment<br />

Receipt may be transferred in combination but not<br />

separately.<br />

Upon registration of a transfer of an Instalment<br />

Receipt, the transferor is discharged from any liability<br />

to pay the Final Instalment provided that the transfer<br />

is recorded before the relevant record date. The<br />

Security Trust Deed provides that, by a transferee<br />

becoming a registered holder of an Instalment<br />

Receipt, that transferee automatically agrees to be<br />

bound by all of the terms of the Security Trust Deed,<br />

including the obligation to pay Interest and Fees on<br />

the Final Instalment and the Final Instalment.<br />

The Registrar will provide persons who become<br />

Investors with a notice that sets out the number of<br />

Instalment Receipts held by each such Investor.<br />

4.11 Security Trustee<br />

SFML has appointed Permanent Trustee Company<br />

Limited as Security Trustee. The Security Trustee's<br />

role is to hold Units on trust for Investors subject to<br />

the Security Interest Holder’s Security Interest. The<br />

Security Interest is the right of SFML, or a<br />

replacement Security Interest Holder, as an unpaid<br />

seller to receive the Final Instalment and interest<br />

thereon. SFML is the initial Security Interest Holder.<br />

Another person may become the Security Interest<br />

Holder without prior notice to Investors. The Security<br />

Trustee will act as:<br />

- agent for the Security Interest Holder in exercising<br />

its power of sale under its Security Interest; and<br />

- custodian for Investors by being the registered<br />

owner of Units, on behalf of Investors, until the<br />

Final Instalment is paid.<br />

The Security Trustee will provide services to Investors<br />

to enable them to exercise their rights as the<br />

beneficial owners of Units. Fees and expenses in<br />

relation to the services provided by the Security<br />

Trustee will be funded from the Trust's income and as<br />

such should be considered part of the Trust's<br />

expenses.<br />

The Security Trustee will be entitled to a fee of $8,000<br />

per annum for performing these services, together<br />

with reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses.<br />

The fee will increase annually in line with movements<br />

in the CPI.<br />

Where the Security Trustee takes action to recover<br />

amounts owing by Investors or to enforce the<br />

Security Interest, the Security Trustee acts as agent<br />

for the Security Interest Holder and is to have regard,<br />

to the full extent permitted by law, solely to the<br />

Security Interest Holder’s interest. In these<br />

circumstances, Investors’ rights will be limited.<br />

Except in some limited circumstances where a court<br />

may do so, the Security Interest Holder alone is<br />

entitled to remove the Security Trustee and<br />

simultaneously appoint a new trustee. The Security<br />

Interest Holder will indemnify the Security Trustee in<br />

respect of certain liabilities arising from the proper<br />

performance of its responsibilities under the Security<br />

Trust Deed.


23<br />

4.12 Limitations of Security Trustee's<br />

discretion and liabilities<br />

The Security Trustee has limited powers, rights and<br />

discretions in respect of the Units.<br />

The Security Trustee is not liable for any loss or<br />

damage arising out of its acts or omissions, except to<br />

the extent that such loss or damage is caused by the<br />

Security Trustee’s negligence or fraud. The Security<br />

Trustee is not liable in respect of any failure to do any<br />

act or thing if it is hindered, prevented or forbidden<br />

from doing that act or thing by any law. The Security<br />

Trustee may delegate various tasks and rely on<br />

various persons and things. The Security Trustee has<br />

delegated a number of tasks to the Responsible<br />

Entity. The Security Trust Deed sets out in detail the<br />

limitations on the Security Trustee's liability to<br />

Investors and other persons.<br />

4.14 Superannuation Investors<br />

Trustees of superannuation entities should obtain<br />

their own professional advice and exercise their own<br />

skill and care in determining whether an investment in<br />

the Trust is appropriate.<br />

The report in Section 14 prepared by Mallesons<br />

Stephen Jaques states that:<br />

- Instalment Receipts do not constitute a<br />

“borrowing”, but there is a risk that APRA or the<br />

ATO may take a different view; and<br />

- for the purposes of complying with the “in-house”<br />

asset rules, a SMSF would need to restrict its<br />

investment under the terms of the Offer together<br />

with any other “in-house” assets it has, to 5% of<br />

the market value of all of its assets.<br />

The Security Interest Holder has provided the Security<br />

Trustee with certain indemnities and the Security<br />

Trustee has no right of recourse against any Investor<br />

for any disbursements, expenses and outgoings<br />

incurred by the Security Trustee for performing its<br />

duties under the Security Trust Deed except in relation<br />

to the sale of Units following an Investor’s default, the<br />

acceleration of the Final Instalment Payment Date<br />

(see Section 4.4), or any duties or taxes payable in<br />

relation to an Investment Recepit or Unit.<br />

4.13 Amendments<br />

The Security Trust Deed may be amended by<br />

agreement between the Responsible Entity, the<br />

Security Interest Holder and the Security Trustee.<br />

However, amendments are restricted to prevent any<br />

changes from:<br />

- impacting upon the right of an Investor, upon<br />

payment of the Final Instalment, to receive a<br />

transfer of Units and, pending such transfer, to<br />

enjoy the beneficial interest in respect of such<br />

Units; and<br />

- accelerating the Final Instalment Payment Date<br />

other than in a way which is already contemplated<br />

by the terms of the Security Trust Deed, as<br />

outlined in this PDS.

The Property<br />

5.1 Description<br />

The new Optus Australian headquarters will provide a<br />

workplace for over 6,500 employees located on 7.6<br />

hectares of landscaped secure surrounds. The<br />

external environment will comprise grass areas,<br />

pathways, trees, water features, an amphitheatre and<br />

a number of outdoor dining areas. The Property will<br />

include a childcare centre, fitness centre and a variety<br />

of cafés and restaurants for the exclusive use of<br />

employees.<br />

The Property will consist of six Buildings with a total<br />

building area of 84,000 sqm (subject to survey) and is<br />

scheduled for completion in July 2007. The Buildings<br />

will be a combination of four and five levels arranged<br />

in a chevron shape that opens to the major entrance.<br />

Located between the Buildings will be service cores<br />

and on the ground floor will be zones offering<br />

additional outdoor meeting and lunch facilities. Visual<br />

connection between inside and outside will be<br />

achieved via transparent bridges that link the<br />

Buildings and glass lift lobbies that face the centre of<br />

the Property.<br />

The main entrance will provide visitors with a sense<br />

of arrival as well as parking that is kept separate from<br />

employee car movements. The other two main entry<br />

points will be orientated to the new Macquarie Park<br />

and Macquarie University railway stations which are<br />

due to open around the completion of the Buildings.<br />

The design of the Property incorporates<br />

environmentally sustainable development principles,<br />

primarily aimed at minimising greenhouse gas<br />

emissions and is targeted to achieve a 4.5 star<br />

Australian Building Greenhouse Rating. Extensive<br />

grey water-recycling should assist in minimising water<br />

usage.<br />

This globally benchmarked all-in one village will<br />

provide employees with an exceptional environment<br />

designed to foster a sense of community and further<br />

position Macquarie Park as one of Australia's leading<br />

corporate precincts.<br />

Bilfinger had total assets of over €3.7 billion and<br />

employed approximately 49,000 people worldwide.<br />

5.4 Turn-Key Development Deed<br />

The Turn-Key Development Deed between <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

Development and MPT delegates the majority of the<br />

obligations under the Agreement for Lease to<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Development and provides that <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

Development must:<br />

- procure all necessary permits, consents and<br />

approvals for the construction of the Buildings,<br />

including any variations (Works);<br />

- carry out and complete the Works in accordance<br />

with the project specifications (including the<br />

delivery of 84,000 sqm of Building area), the<br />

approved plans and all legislative requirements<br />

and relevant Australian Standards (<strong>Stockland</strong><br />

Development has entered into a design and<br />

construction agreement with the builder,<br />

Baulderstone Hornibrook, for the construction of<br />

the Buildings);<br />

- provide MPT with a guarantee in relation to any<br />

costs and incentives payable under the Agreement<br />

for Lease such as the incentive payment payable<br />

to Optus (approximately 2% of the total rental<br />

commitments over the initial term of the Optus<br />

Lease);<br />

- provide MPT with a guarantee in relation to the<br />

difference between the actual rent payable by<br />

Optus and the rent based on 84,000 sqm of<br />

Building area under the Optus Lease (refer to<br />

Sections 7.7.1 and 10.2);<br />

- provide MPT with a guarantee in relation to part of<br />

the car parking licence fee (refer to Sections 5.7<br />

and 7.7.1); and<br />

- fund the GST applicable to the consideration paid<br />

by MPT for the development of the Buildings at an<br />

interest rate of 6.4% per annum accruing daily.<br />

The consideration payable by MPT to <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

Development is subject to a number of conditions<br />

precedent, including confirmation of Lease<br />

Commencement. The total consideration for the<br />

Property is $351,107,800 (which equals the valuation<br />

amount in Section 11).


27<br />

5.5 Overview of the Macquarie Park<br />

office market<br />

The valuation report in Section 11 provides an<br />

overview of the Macquarie Park office market.<br />

In addition, the Responsible Entity is of the opinion<br />

that the Macquarie Park office market should benefit<br />

from the large scale infrastructure projects being<br />

undertaken in the area. There is over $4.5 billion of<br />

infrastructure currently being developed, including:<br />

- the Lane Cove Tunnel roadway which is scheduled<br />

to open in 2007. The twin 3.6km tunnels will<br />

reduce travel times between Sydney's CBD and<br />

suburbs to the north-west of Sydney by an<br />

estimated 15 minutes, reduce traffic congestion in<br />

local areas around Lane Cove and provide better<br />

facilities for pedestrians and cyclists; and<br />

- the Epping to Chatswood railway line which is<br />

scheduled for completion in 2008. The expected<br />

daily patronage on this new section of the railway<br />

is 15,000 passenger trips. Two of the new railway<br />

stations will be located within 600 and 700<br />

metres from the Property.<br />

5.6 Paul Street North<br />

Paul Street North, Macquarie Park, is currently a<br />

public road that will form part of the Property. Ryde<br />

City Council has agreed to sell Paul Street North to<br />

MPT once it has acquired the road from the Crown.<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Development is separately negotiating to<br />

purchase a parcel of land adjacent to Paul Street<br />

North, currently owned by the NSW Roads and Traffic<br />

Authority, and which will form part of Paul Street<br />

North. MPT will fund the acquisition of Paul Street<br />

North using a loan provided by <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust.<br />

Interest on this loan will capitalise at 6.25% per<br />

annum. The loan, including capitalised interest, will<br />

be repaid on Lease Commencement; however, MPT<br />

will receive a corresponding reduction in the<br />

consideration payable pursuant to the Turn-Key<br />

Development Deed.<br />

If Paul Street North is not acquired by MPT prior to<br />

Lease Commencement because Ryde Council either<br />

refuses to enter into a contract of sale or otherwise<br />

sell the land comprising Paul Street North, <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

Development will pay Optus an amount of<br />

compensation in consideration for not having<br />

exclusive right to the entire Property. In this instance,<br />

Ryde City Council will continue to own Paul Street<br />

North. Jones Lang LaSalle (NSW) Pty Limited has<br />

confirmed in its valuation report contained in Section<br />

11 that this will not materially affect the Property's<br />

value as the location of Paul Street North will be used<br />

as a vehicular access point for the Property whether it<br />

is owned by MPT or the Council.<br />

5.7 16 Giffnock Avenue<br />

16 Giffnock Avenue, Macquarie Park, is a commercial<br />

office building located adjacent to the Property that is<br />

ultimately owned by <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust and does not<br />

form part of the Property. The terms of the Optus<br />

Lease provide Optus with:<br />

- a first right to lease 16 Giffnock Avenue once the<br />

existing tenant of that property vacates; and<br />

- a non-exclusive right to access the Property via a<br />

right of way pursuant to the Optus Lease.<br />

It is intended that an agreement be executed with the<br />

owner of the 16 Giffnock Avenue property to provide<br />

Optus with these rights under the Optus Lease.<br />

An existing tenant of the 16 Giffnock Avenue property<br />

currently has rights to park some of its cars on the<br />

Property. To the extent that this tenant requires car<br />

parking spaces on the Property, Optus will not pay a<br />

licence fee relevant to those spaces, MPT will grant<br />

the tenant a nominal sub-lease over part of the<br />

Property and take steps to secure alternate car<br />

parking spaces for Optus. However, <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

Development has agreed to pay MPT the licence fee<br />

that would have been payable had the 16 Giffnock<br />

Avenue tenant not occupied some of the Optus car<br />

parking spaces.<br />

5.8 Due diligence and use of experts<br />

In considering the purchase of the Trust’s Property<br />

Interest, various independent experts were engaged<br />

on behalf of the Trust to assist in the due diligence<br />

process. The Responsible Entity has relied on these<br />

experts in assessing the risks associated with the<br />

Trust’s Property Interest and the Financial Forecasts.<br />

As a result of these investigations, the Responsible<br />

Entity is not aware of any matters, other than those<br />

set out in this PDS, which could have a material<br />

impact on the value of the Trust’s Property Interest or<br />

the Financial Forecasts.

The Leases<br />

and the Tenant<br />

6.1 The <strong>Stockland</strong> lease<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Development will lease the Property from MPT to access the land for development of the Buildings<br />

6.2 The Optus Leases<br />

There will be three separate leases with Optus for lease terms of 14, 15 and 16 years respectively. Each lease<br />

is for two of the six Buildings and commences once the Buildings have been completed. MPT will then pay<br />

the Trust a distribution based on the Trust's Property Interest from the rent received from the Optus Lease. The<br />

essential terms of each lease are identical, unless otherwise specified and are summarised below:<br />

Options<br />

Building area<br />

Initial rent<br />

Rental growth<br />

One option for each lease of five years. The commencing rent under the option is market<br />

rent, and increases thereafter by 3% per annum. If Optus exercises the option to renew<br />

the leases of all Buildings A, B, C, D, E and F then the market review will be conducted<br />

on the basis of a single lease.<br />

84,000 sqm in total, subject to a final survey.<br />

Net rent of $24,577,800 per annum from Lease Commencement. This figure may reduce<br />

due to arrangements with a tenant on a neighbouring property (refer to Section 5.7) or if<br />

less than 84,000 sqm of Building area is developed; however, <strong>Stockland</strong> Development will<br />

guarantee these components of the rent (refer to Section 7.7.1).<br />

3% on each anniversary of the leases, excluding:<br />

- the first anniversary where there is no rent review; and<br />

- the sixth anniversary of the leases where there is a market review of the rent with a<br />

maximum rental increase of 6% and a maximum rental decease of 3% from the<br />

previous year’s rent.<br />

Outgoings<br />

Repairs on expiry<br />

Carpet<br />

Passageways<br />

Outgoings are fully recoverable from Optus. Outgoings include property management<br />

fees which are limited to a maximum of 0.5% of the aggregate of the rent and outgoings<br />

but excluding amounts paid for Structural Works.<br />

Optus is not required to repair the premises if the Optus Lease ends, without default by<br />

Optus, at any time more than 10 years after Lease Commencement.<br />

From the seventh anniversary the lessor will supply sufficient carpet to recarpet two<br />

floors of the premises each year until all floors have been recarpeted once. Optus will<br />

install the replacement carpet at its cost.<br />

Optus may request that part or all of the passageways between the Buildings be used as<br />

lettable area for office space from time to time. In this instance, Optus will pay rent for<br />

the passageways at the same rate per square metre as the underlying lease.

The Leases<br />

and the Tenant (cont.)<br />

Partial surrender<br />

Assignment<br />

and sub-letting<br />

Signage and<br />

naming rights<br />

Optus may, on the seventh anniversary of Lease Commencement, surrender Building A<br />

(approximately 18% of the total leased area), provided that not less than 18 months'<br />

notice is given. In this instance, the Optus lease for Building A and B will be varied to<br />

apply only to Building B with appropriate adjustments in rent and outgoings. Optus may<br />

elect to hand back its exclusive common area relating to Building A and pay for certain<br />

works to separate the Buildings from an operational perspective. MPT will also be<br />

required to pay for certain works. Optus will also surrender 356 undercover and 18<br />

uncovered car spaces.<br />

Optus may assign the Optus Lease to a related entity of Optus or the Guarantor of the<br />

Optus Lease without the lessor’s approval. Subject to the lessor’s approval and the<br />

conditions of the Optus Lease, Optus may sub-let or license its interest in the Optus<br />

Lease. The guarantee is not prejudiced in either situation.<br />

While Optus is the tenant of four or more of the Buildings it has the right to name and<br />

alter the name of the Property subject to the lessor's approval. At the end of the Optus<br />

Lease Optus must remove the signage, services and structure but is not obliged to repair<br />

any surfaces.<br />

6.3 Overview of Optus and<br />

the Guarantor of the Optus Lease<br />

company in Australia, and provides a broad range of<br />

communication services including mobile, national<br />

7.4 The issuer<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Funds Management Limited, in its personal<br />

capacity, is also the issuer of the Instalment Receipts.<br />

It operates within the same framework and<br />

compliance culture as described in Section 7.3.<br />

7.5 The responsible entity of MPT<br />

MPT is managed by <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust Management<br />

Limited (STML). STML is a wholly owned subsidiary<br />

of <strong>Stockland</strong> Corporation.<br />

The directors of STML at the date of this PDS are<br />

construction management services for the Property,<br />

providing all documentation and other information<br />

reasonably necessary, and assisting in the preparation<br />

and analysis of that information relating to the<br />

determination of the market value of the Property, or<br />

the transfer or sale of the Property, creating and<br />

managing annual asset plans and budgets, including<br />

operating and capital budgets, leasing and operating<br />

plans for the Property, and developing plans for and<br />

recommending capital expenditure for approval by the<br />

unitholders of MPT.<br />

Details of the fees payable to STML are disclosed in<br />

Section 9.2.7.<br />

7.6 Property manager<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Property Management Pty Limited has<br />

been appointed as the Property manager to undertake<br />

the ongoing management of the Property and to<br />

attend to all leasing requirements. It is a wholly<br />

owned subsidiary of <strong>Stockland</strong> Corporation.<br />

The Property manager has extensive experience in<br />

property and asset management and manages a<br />

commercial and industrial property portfolio valued at<br />

$2.6 billion as at 31 December 2004. The Property<br />

manager's approach is focussed on tenant service,<br />

long term tenant retention, and the ability to provide<br />

an overall management service that ensures each tier<br />

of property management is leveraged to maximise<br />

rental returns and add value.<br />

The Property manager has implemented a centralised<br />

service platform, called the <strong>Stockland</strong> Service Centre,<br />

across its commercial portfolio to provide tenants<br />

with better service and to build and foster tenant<br />

relationships. The <strong>Stockland</strong> Service Centre has been<br />

custom designed and a unique feature of the service<br />

is that it consists of <strong>Stockland</strong> personnel who<br />

maintain a comprehensive knowledge of each<br />

property being managed.<br />

The Property manager will, as prescribed in the<br />

Property Management Agreement, undertake a range<br />

of property management and facilities management<br />

related activities, on an arms-length basis. These<br />

activities include management of the Property under<br />

the terms of the Optus Lease, supervision of the<br />

performance of contractors under all contracts and<br />

agreements for services provided to the Property and<br />

preparation of all financial records, budgets and<br />

reports, including the collection of rent.<br />

Given the Property manager's expertise and<br />

knowledge of the property industry, the Responsible<br />

Entity believes the Property manager's involvement in<br />

the management of the Property is beneficial to the<br />

Trust.<br />

The Property manager's fees are recoverable from<br />

Optus as an outgoing of the Property and are detailed<br />

in Section 9.2.7. Further details of the Property<br />

Management Agreement are set out in Section 15.7.<br />

7.7 <strong>Stockland</strong> guarantees and loans<br />

Various <strong>Stockland</strong> entities have provided guarantees<br />

and a loan in order to facilitate the Trust’s transaction<br />

with MPT and to manage the consequences in the<br />

event that construction has not been completed and<br />

Lease Commencement has not occurred by 1 July<br />

2008 (one year beyond the scheduled completion<br />

date) or such longer period as approved by Investors<br />

by Special Resolution. These are detailed below:<br />

7.7.1 <strong>Stockland</strong> Development guarantees<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Development is providing two guarantees:<br />

one in relation to the obligations associated with the<br />

Agreement for Lease and the other in relation to a<br />

rental arrangement with a tenant of a neighbouring<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> owned property at 16 Giffnock Avenue,<br />

Macquarie Park:


36<br />

7.<br />

About<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> (cont.)<br />

- Optus currently has an Agreement for Lease with<br />

STML as trustee for Property Trust of Australasia,<br />

which is in the process of being novated to MPT.<br />

The Agreement for Lease was negotiated on the<br />

basis that <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust would be the developer<br />

and owner. There are certain obligations in the<br />

Agreement for Lease which a third party purchaser<br />

(such as MPT) would not normally assume.<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Development, under the Turn-Key<br />

Development Deed, is therefore guaranteeing:<br />

(i)<br />

costs and incentives associated with the<br />

Agreement for Lease (thereby placing MPT in<br />

a position of acquiring a new building from a<br />

developer and separating the obligations of the<br />

developer from that of the owner); and<br />

(ii) to the Trust only, the Trust's share of the<br />

difference between the actual rent payable by<br />

Optus and the rent based on 84,000 sqm of<br />

Building area under the Optus Lease (in the<br />

event that the Building area is less than 84,000<br />

sqm, but more than 79,800 sqm). In the event<br />

that less than 79,800 sqm has been built (a<br />

5% tolerance level), then Optus has the right<br />

to terminate the Agreement for Lease, in<br />

which case the Trust will be wound up and<br />

Investors will receive their Application Monies<br />

back in full as described in Sections 7.7.2 and<br />

7.7.3; and<br />

- <strong>Stockland</strong> Development will guarantee the licence<br />

fee of $80,752 per annum (which is subject to<br />

rental reviews on the same basis as the Optus<br />

Lease) in relation to car parking spaces that may<br />

be occupied by a tenant of a neighbouring<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> owned property at 16 Giffnock Avenue,<br />

and who has been granted a sub-lease by MPT<br />

over part of the Property. Section 5.7 provides<br />

more detail on this matter.<br />

7.7.2 <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust guarantee<br />

If the Optus Lease does not commence by 1 July<br />

2008 (which allows for one year beyond the<br />

scheduled completion date) or such longer period as<br />

approved by Investors by Special Resolution, then the<br />

Trust will be wound up. In order to effect the<br />

termination, MPT will repay the loan by the Trust by<br />

either issuing ordinary units in MPT to <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust<br />

or borrowing funds from <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust which will<br />

thereafter retain 100% ownership of the Property.<br />

MPT reserves the right to repay the loan from the<br />

Trust (which then obligates <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust to<br />

subscribe for further ordinary units in MPT or provide<br />

a loan to MPT equal to the face value of the loan by<br />

the Trust) at any time until 1 July 2008 if <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

Development, in its reasonable opinion, advises MPT<br />

that Lease Commencement cannot be achieved by 1<br />

July 2008.<br />

7.7.3 <strong>Stockland</strong> Corporation indemnity<br />

If the Trust is wound up as a result of the Optus<br />

Lease not having commenced by 1 July 2008 or such<br />

longer period as approved by Investors by Special<br />

Resolution, <strong>Stockland</strong> Corporation will indemnify the<br />

Trust to prevent any shortfall in the return of the<br />

Application Monies to Investors from terminating the<br />

Trust. This indemnity will include any costs<br />

associated with the early termination of interest rate<br />

swaps entered on behalf of the Trust. Investors will<br />

not be entitled to interest on their Application Monies<br />

but will be entitled to retain any distributions paid by<br />

the Trust up to the date of repayment.<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Corporation is also providing an indemnity<br />

to the interest rate swap counterparty until such time<br />

as the counterparty to the swap receives security<br />

over the assets and undertaking of the Trust. This is<br />

expected to occur on or shortly after Final Allocation.<br />

7.7.4 <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust loan<br />

A loan is proposed to be provided by <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust<br />

to MPT to assist MPT with the acquisition of Paul<br />

Street North (which is intended to be part of the<br />

Property but is currently owned by the Crown and the<br />

NSW Roads and Traffic Authority). These<br />

arrangements are discussed in more detail in Section<br />

5.6. The loan, including capitalised interest, will be<br />

repayable on Lease Commencement. The<br />

consideration for the development of the Buildings<br />

paid by MPT to <strong>Stockland</strong> Development under the<br />

Turn-Key Development Deed will effectively reduce by<br />

the amount of the bullet repayment (both principal<br />

and interest).


37<br />

7.8 Corporate governance and conflict<br />

resolution<br />

A corporate governance framework has been<br />

established by the Responsible Entity to protect the<br />

interests of Investors. This framework includes the<br />

following approach:<br />

- detailed disclosure in this PDS of the <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

roles, agreements and fees in relation to the Trust<br />

and the Trust's Property Interest;<br />

- a comprehensive due diligence process for the<br />

Offer involving independent legal, tax, accounting<br />

and property valuation experts;<br />

The directors of the Responsible Entity have a<br />

fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of Investors<br />

in relation to decisions affecting the Trust.<br />

One of the directors of SFML and STML, Graham<br />

Bradley, is also a director of Singapore<br />

Telecommunications Limited which is the ultimate<br />

parent company of Optus. Mr Bradley has declared<br />

his conflict of interest and not been involved in the<br />

negotiations, nor voted on any board decisions, in<br />

relation to the Optus Lease or the development of<br />

the Property.<br />

- documented and formally approved and executed<br />

agreements between <strong>Stockland</strong> and the Trust,<br />

with separate independent legal advice obtained<br />

by the Responsible Entity on behalf of the Trust;<br />

- the board of the Responsible Entity including two<br />

of five directors that are independent of <strong>Stockland</strong>;<br />

- compliance monitoring by the Compliance<br />

Committee in accordance with the Corporations<br />

Act and the Compliance Plan, and review<br />

procedures by <strong>Stockland</strong>'s internal compliance unit<br />

in respect of the conduct of other <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

entities generally; and<br />

- a requirement for the approval of all related party<br />

transactions by the board of the Responsible<br />

Entity to be by unanimous vote, including the<br />

independent directors. Any <strong>Stockland</strong> executive<br />

directors are excluded from voting on such<br />

transactions.

Financial<br />

Information<br />

8.1 Introduction<br />

The Financial Information contained in this Section 8<br />

should be read in conjunction with the significant<br />

accounting policies (Section 8.7), the key forecast<br />

assumptions (Section 8.8), the sensitivity analysis<br />

(Section 8.10) and the risk factors (Section 10).<br />

The Financial Information included in this Section 8<br />

consists of:<br />

- forecast <strong>Statement</strong>s of Financial Performance and<br />

<strong>Statement</strong>s of Distribution for the Forecast Period;<br />

- the pro-forma <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial Position of<br />

the Trust on Final Allocation and Lease<br />

Commencement; and<br />

- sources and applications of funds of the Trust on<br />

completion of Final Allocation and Lease<br />

Commencement.<br />

The Financial Forecasts have been adopted by the<br />

directors of the Responsible Entity and represent the<br />

Responsible Entity’s best estimate, based on present<br />

circumstances, as to the most likely set of conditions<br />

to which the Trust will be exposed.<br />

The Financial Information has been presented in an<br />

abbreviated form insofar as it does not include all of<br />

the disclosures required by the Australian Accounting<br />

Standards applicable to annual financial reports<br />

prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act.<br />

Returns on an investment in the Trust are not<br />

guaranteed. Although due care and attention has been<br />

taken in preparing the Financial Forecasts, many<br />

factors which affect the Financial Forecasts are<br />

outside the control of the Responsible Entity and its<br />

directors or are not capable of being foreseen or<br />

accurately predicted. This is particularly the case the<br />

longer the forecast period. As such, actual results may<br />

differ from the Financial Information. For further<br />

information on such factors, please refer to the risks<br />

detailed in Section 10.<br />

In addition, Investors’ financial returns are dependent<br />

on the distributions received by them and the amount<br />

received on disposal of the Trust’s Property Interest or<br />

through an alternative investment strategy approved<br />

by a Special Resolution. Generally, Investors will<br />

realise their investment following the disposal of the<br />

Trust’s Property Interest and/or the termination of the<br />

Trust. Accordingly, Investors’ returns will be sensitive<br />

to, and directly affected by, the price at which the<br />

Trust’s Property Interest is realised. Other<br />

sensitivities are detailed in Section 8.10.<br />

The assumptions on which the Financial Information<br />

is based are set out in this Section 8. All figures are<br />

subject to rounding.<br />

8.2 Presentation of financial statements<br />

that comply with A-GAAP and A-IFRS<br />

ASIC requires that product disclosure statements<br />

issued on or after 1 January 2005 should present<br />

financial reports that comply with Australian<br />

equivalents to International Financial Reporting<br />

Standards (A-IFRS). As users may also be familiar<br />

with financial reports that comply with Australian<br />

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (A-GAAP),<br />

forecast statements of financial performance and<br />

financial position that comply with A-IFRS and A-<br />

GAAP (as in force as at 31 December 2004) are<br />

detailed in Sections 8.3 and 8.5. However, all<br />

financial reports prepared for Investors will need to<br />

comply with A-IFRS.


39<br />

The key differences between A-GAAP and A-IFRS in relation to the Financial Information are detailed below.<br />

Item Treatment under A-GAAP Treatment under A-IFRS<br />

Rental Income<br />

Derivative<br />

instruments<br />

Contributed<br />

equity (from<br />

unitholders)<br />

Accrued as the underlying lease<br />

provides, generally resulting in increases<br />

in rent each year.<br />

Gains and losses on interest rate swaps<br />

are included in the determination of<br />

interest expenses.<br />

Gains and losses on forward interest<br />

rate contracts are deferred and<br />

amortised over the term of the<br />

underlying borrowing.<br />

Equity in the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial<br />

Position.<br />

Averaged over the life of the lease, to<br />

the extent it can be reliably measured,<br />

resulting in no rental growth.<br />

Derivatives are initially recognised at<br />

fair value on the date a derivative<br />

contract is entered into and are<br />

subsequently remeasured at their fair<br />

value at each reporting date. The<br />

resulting gain or loss is recognised in<br />

the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial<br />

Performance immediately unless the<br />

derivative is designated and effective<br />

as a hedging instrument, in which<br />

event the timing of the recognition in<br />

the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial<br />

Performance depends on the nature of<br />

the hedge relationship.<br />

In certain circumstances, the<br />

contribution from unitholders may be<br />

classified as debt, where the Trust has<br />

an obligation to repay the contributed<br />

amount.

Notes.<br />

1. The difference between the Forecast <strong>Statement</strong>s of Financial Position under A-GAAP and A-IFRS is<br />

described in Section 8.2.<br />

2. The fair value of the Units reflects the amount incurred by the Trust in connection with the transaction<br />

costs. The liability is subsequently increased by its share of the Trust's profits.<br />

3. The contributed equity is the aggregate of the payment by SFML on the Units using the First Instalment<br />

plus the fair value of the Final Instalment at Final Allocation.<br />

4. NTA is 40 cents per Unit compared to the 40 cents per First Instalment as a result of the indemnity<br />

provided by <strong>Stockland</strong> Corporation as detailed in Section 7.7.3. If no indemnity was provided, the NTA would<br />

be 33.8 cents per Unit compared to a First Instalment of 40 cents per Unit.


43<br />

NTA per Unit on Final Allocation is $0.40 compared to the First Instalment of $0.40 per Unit as a result of the<br />

indemnity from <strong>Stockland</strong> Corporation, as detailed in Section 7.7.3. Upon Lease Commencement, the NTA per<br />

Unit calculated in accordance with A-IFRS is forecast to be $0.92.<br />

It should be noted that Investors’ capital will be protected during the period from Final Allocation until Lease<br />

Commencement by the indemnity, which, if triggered, ensures Investors will be repaid their Application Monies<br />

(see Sections 7.7.2 and 7.7.3).<br />

Financial<br />

Information (cont.)<br />

8.7 <strong>Statement</strong> of significant accounting<br />

policies<br />

Basis of preparation<br />

The Financial Information has been prepared in<br />

accordance with the Constitution, Australian<br />

Accounting Standards, other mandatory professional<br />

reporting requirements (Urgent Issues Group<br />

Consensus Views), and the Corporations Act. The<br />

Financial Forecasts and pro-forma <strong>Statement</strong>s of<br />

Financial Position are presented in an abbreviated<br />

form insofar as they do not comply with all the<br />

disclosures required by Australian Accounting<br />

Standards applicable to annual reports prepared in<br />

accordance with the Corporations Act. Unless<br />

otherwise specified, the treatment of the following<br />

items are the same under A-GAAP and A-IFRS.<br />

Financial statements of the Trust will be prepared<br />

under A-IFRS as outlined below. A-GAAP accounting<br />

policies have been shown for comparative purposes.<br />

Significant accounting policies adopted by MPT<br />

(a) Rental income<br />

A-GAAP: Rental income from operating leases is<br />

brought to account when legally due and if not<br />

received at balance date is reflected in the<br />

<strong>Statement</strong> of Financial Position as a receivable or<br />

if paid in advance, as rent in advance.<br />

A-IFRS: Rental income from operating leases is<br />

recognised on a straight line basis over the term<br />

of the relevant lease.<br />

(b) Investment properties<br />

A-GAAP and A-IFRS: Investment properties<br />

comprise investment interests in land and<br />

buildings (including integral plant and equipment)<br />

held for the purpose of producing rental income.<br />

Investment properties are initially measured at<br />

cost, being the purchase consideration determined<br />

as at the date of acquisition plus expenditure<br />

which is directly attributable to the acquisition of<br />

the item. In the event that settlement of all or<br />

part of the cash consideration given in the<br />

acquisition is deferred, the fair value of the<br />

purchase consideration is determined by<br />

discounting the amounts payable in the future to<br />

their present value as at the date of acquisition.<br />

A-GAAP: Investment properties are measured at<br />

their fair value at the end of each reporting date.<br />

Revaluation increments are credited directly to the<br />

asset revaluation reserve except to the extent the<br />

increment reverses a decrement that was<br />

previously recognised as an expense in the<br />

<strong>Statement</strong> of Financial Performance in respect of<br />

the same class of assets, in which case the<br />

increment is recognised as revenue in the<br />

<strong>Statement</strong> of Financial Performance. Net<br />

revaluation decrements are recognised as an<br />

expense in the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial<br />

Performance, except to the extent that the<br />

decrement reverses a previous revaluation<br />

increment in respect of the same class of assets<br />

credit directly to the asset revaluation reserve, in<br />

which case the decrement is debited directly to<br />

the reserve to the extent that a credit exists in<br />

respect of the same class of asset.<br />

A-IFRS: Investment properties are measured at<br />

their fair value at the end of each reporting date.<br />

Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair<br />

value of investment property are included in the<br />

<strong>Statement</strong> of Financial Performance in the period<br />

in which they arise.<br />

(c) Depreciation<br />

A-GAAP and A-IFRS: Investment properties are<br />

not depreciated. The properties are subject to<br />

continued maintenance and regularly revalued on<br />

the basis set out above.<br />

Significant accounting policies adopted by the<br />

Trust<br />

(a) Interest income<br />

A-GAAP: Interest revenue is brought to account<br />

when earned and if not received at balance date,<br />

is reflected in the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial Position<br />

as a receivable.<br />

A-IFRS: Interest revenue is recognised on a time<br />

proportionate basis that takes into account the<br />

effective yield on the financial asset.<br />

(b) Borrowings<br />

A-GAAP: The Bank Loan and other loans are<br />

recorded at an amount equal to the net proceeds<br />

received. Interest expense is recognised on an<br />

accruals basis. Ancillary costs incurred in<br />

connection with the arrangement of borrowings<br />

are deferred and amortised over the period of the<br />

borrowing.<br />

A-IFRS: Borrowings are recorded initially at fair<br />

value, net of transaction costs. Subsequent to<br />

initial recognition, borrowings are measured at<br />

amortised cost with any difference between the<br />

initial recognised amount and the redemption<br />

value being recognised in the <strong>Statement</strong> of


45<br />

Financial Performance over the period of the<br />

borrowing using the effective interest rate<br />

method.<br />

(c) Borrowing costs<br />

A-GAAP and A-IFRS: Borrowing costs include<br />

interest, amortisation of discounts or premiums<br />

relating to borrowings and amortisation of ancillary<br />

costs incurred in connection with arrangement of<br />

borrowings. Borrowing costs directly attributable<br />

to Buildings under construction are capitalised as<br />

part of the cost of these assets.<br />

(d) Derivatives<br />

The Trust has entered into a variety of derivative<br />

financial instruments to manage its exposure to<br />

changes in interest rates. Derivative financial<br />

instruments are not held for speculative purposes.<br />

A-GAAP: Derivative financial instruments which<br />

are designated as effective hedges of underlying<br />

exposures are accounted for on the same basis as<br />

the underlying exposure. Interest payments and<br />

receipts under interest rate swap contracts are<br />

recognised in the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial Position<br />

on an accruals basis, as an adjustment to<br />

borrowing costs. Other interest rate swaps not<br />

meeting the accounting requirements for hedges<br />

are valued at reporting date and any gains and<br />

losses are brought to account in the <strong>Statement</strong> of<br />

Financial Performance.<br />

A-IFRS: Derivatives are initially measured at fair<br />

value on the date a derivative contract is entered<br />

into and subsequently remeasured to their fair<br />

value at each reporting date. The resulting gain or<br />

loss is recognised in the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial<br />

Performance immediately unless the derivative is<br />

designated as and is effective as a hedging<br />

instrument, in which event the timing of the<br />

recognition in the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial<br />

Performance depends on the nature of the hedge<br />

relationship.<br />

The Trust designates certain derivatives as hedges<br />

of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow<br />

hedges). The effective portion of changes in the<br />

fair value of derivatives that are designated and<br />

qualify as cash flow hedges are deferred in equity.<br />

The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion<br />

is recognised immediately in the <strong>Statement</strong> of<br />

Financial Performance. Amounts deferred in<br />

equity are recycled to <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial<br />

Performance in the periods when the hedged item<br />

is recognised in the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial<br />

Performance.<br />

Hedge accounting is discontinued when the<br />

hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated<br />

or exercised or no longer qualifies for hedge<br />

accounting. At that time, any cumulative gain or<br />

loss deferred in equity remains in equity and is<br />

recognised when the forecast transaction is<br />

ultimately recognised in the <strong>Statement</strong> of<br />

Financial Performance. When a forecast<br />

transaction is no longer expected to occur, the<br />

cumulative gain or loss that was deferred in equity<br />

is recognised immediately in the <strong>Statement</strong> of<br />

Financial Performance.<br />

Certain derivative instruments do not qualify for<br />

hedge accounting. Changes in the fair value of<br />

any derivative instrument that do not qualify for<br />

hedge accounting are recognised immediately in<br />

the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial Performance.<br />

Derivatives embedded in other financial<br />

instruments or other host contracts are treated as<br />

separate derivatives when their risk and<br />

characteristics are not closely related to those of<br />

host contracts and the host contracts are not<br />

measured at fair value with changes in fair value<br />

recognised in the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial<br />

Performance.<br />

(e) Financial instruments issued by the Trust<br />

A-GAAP: Debt and equity instruments are<br />

classified as either liabilities or as equity in<br />

accordance with the substance of the contractual<br />

arrangement. Transaction costs arising on the<br />

issue of equity instruments are recognised directly<br />

in equity as a reduction of the proceeds of the<br />

equity instruments to which the costs relate.<br />

Transaction costs are the costs that are incurred<br />

directly in connection with the issue of those<br />

equity instruments and which would not have<br />

been incurred had those instruments not been<br />

issued.<br />

A-IFRS: Debt and equity instruments are classified<br />

as either liabilities or as equity in accordance with<br />

the substance of the contractual arrangement.<br />

Issued Units in the Trust are classified as liabilities<br />

in accordance with AASB 132 Financial<br />

Instruments: <strong>Disclosure</strong> and Presentation.


46<br />

8.<br />

Financial<br />

Information (cont.)<br />

(f) Investments in associates<br />

A-GAAP and A-IFRS: Investments in associates,<br />

which are those entities over which the Trust<br />

exercises significant influence and which are not<br />

intended for sale in the near future, are accounted<br />

for using equity accounting principles.<br />

Investments in associates are carried at the lower<br />

of the equity accounted amount and the<br />

recoverable amount. The Trust's equity accounted<br />

share of the associate's net profit or loss is<br />

recognised in the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial<br />

Performance from the date significant influence<br />

commences until the date significant influence<br />

ceases. The Trust's equity accounted share of the<br />

associate's other movements in reserves is<br />

recognised directly in reserves. MPT is an<br />

associate of the Trust.<br />

(g) Security Interest Holder unpaid call<br />

A-GAAP and A-IFRS: The Security Interest Holder<br />

unpaid call in respect of Units issued is only<br />

recognised on Lease Commencement as it is not<br />

payable until that time.<br />

(h) Income tax<br />

The Trust is not liable to pay income tax if all<br />

Investors are presently entitled to all of the<br />

income of the Trust. The Responsible Entity<br />

intends to distribute all the income of the Trust, if<br />

any, to Investors in accordance with the<br />

Constitution.<br />

(i)<br />

GST<br />

The Trust is registered for GST purposes and will<br />

receive input tax credits for GST paid. Revenues,<br />

expenses and assets are recognised net of the<br />

amount of GST except:<br />

- where the amount of GST incurred is not<br />

recoverable from the taxation authority, it is<br />

recognised as part of the cost of acquisition of<br />

an asset or as part of an item of expense; and<br />

- for receivables and payables which are<br />

recognised inclusive of GST.<br />

8.8 Key financial forecast assumptions<br />

The major assumptions made in preparing the<br />

Financial Forecasts are set out below. While the<br />

Responsible Entity considers these assumptions to<br />

be appropriate and reasonable at the time of<br />

preparing this PDS, Investors should appreciate that<br />

many factors which may affect results are outside the<br />

control of the Responsible Entity and its directors or<br />

may not be capable of being foreseen or accurately<br />

predicted. Accordingly, actual results may vary<br />

materially from the forecasts. Investors are advised to<br />

review the assumptions and Financial Forecasts and<br />

make their own independent assessment of the<br />

future performance and prospects of the Trust.<br />

The forecasts have been reviewed by Deloitte<br />

Corporate Finance Pty Limited, which has prepared<br />

the Independent Accountant's Report contained in<br />

Section 12. Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Ltd has<br />

prepared a report on the taxation implications (refer to<br />

Section 13). No person guarantees the future<br />

performance of the Trust.<br />

The Responsible Entity has prepared financial<br />

forecasts for the Property based on expert reports<br />

and its knowledge of the Property and the industry.<br />

The Trust will have a 49% interest in MPT from Lease<br />

Commencement and will recognise income from<br />

MPT based on this ownership interest. As a result,<br />

the forecast assumptions of MPT have a material<br />

bearing on the Financial Forecasts. The key<br />

assumptions underlying the Financial Forecasts are as<br />

follows:<br />

Assumptions relating to MPT<br />

(a) Rental income<br />

There are three sources of rental income for MPT<br />

(which then pays interest on the loan from the<br />

Trust until Lease Commencement and thereafter, a<br />

distribution on the Trust’s Property Interest):<br />

- for the period from Final Allocation to Lease<br />

Commencement, <strong>Stockland</strong> Development will<br />

lease the land from MPT to enable it to<br />

develop the Property as described in Section<br />

6.1; and<br />

- for the period after Lease Commencement:<br />

(i) Optus will lease the Property on terms<br />

described in Section 6.2; and<br />

(ii) to the extent that a neighbouring tenant<br />

occupies some of the car parking spaces on<br />

and has been granted a sub-lease over part<br />

of the Property, <strong>Stockland</strong> Development will<br />

guarantee the car parking licence fee that is<br />

not otherwise payable by Optus. This is<br />

described further in Section 5.7.


47<br />

(b) Vacancies<br />

As Optus will occupy 100% of the Property (to the<br />

extent that a neighbouring tenant occupies some of<br />

the car parking spaces on and has been granted a<br />

sub-lease over part of the Property – refer Section<br />

5.7) from the date of Lease Commencement, and<br />

because the term of the Optus Lease extends<br />

beyond the initial term of the Trust, there is not<br />

expected to be any vacancy in the Property during<br />

the initial term of the Trust. Therefore, no allowance<br />

for vacancy has been made.<br />

(c) Property outgoings<br />

Property outgoings payable by MPT, other than the<br />

Property management fee which is a function of<br />

the rent payable by Optus (refer to Section 9.2.7),<br />

are forecast to increase annually at 2.5% over the<br />

Forecast Period. Under the terms of the Optus<br />

Lease, outgoings are fully recoverable (refer to<br />

Section 6.2).<br />

(d) Property value<br />

As result of changing market conditions, it is<br />

difficult to reliably measure the fair value of the<br />

Property. For the purposes of the Financial<br />

Forecasts, it has been assumed that there will be<br />

no movement in the fair value of the Property<br />

during the Forecast Period.<br />

Assumptions relating to the Trust<br />

(a) Interest income<br />

It has been assumed that interest income will be<br />

earned on the Trust’s cash balances at the rate of<br />

5.25% per annum over the Forecast Period.<br />

(b) Borrowings and borrowing costs<br />

Borrowing costs are based on the expected debt<br />

profile and the letter of offer from the Financier,<br />

which is summarised in Section 3.2.<br />

(c) Amortised borrowing costs<br />

There are three components to the amortised<br />

borrowing costs:<br />

- costs associated with establishing the facility<br />

to allow Investors to receive the 90-day bank<br />

bill rate during the period from Final Allocation<br />

until Lease Commencement. This amount is<br />

amortised over the period that the costs relate<br />

to, pro-rated on a daily basis;<br />

- costs associated with the establishment of the<br />

Bank Loan (0.15% of the total facility amount<br />

of $107,226,000) based on the Financier's<br />

letter of offer (refer to Section 3.2). This cost is<br />

amortised over eight years from Final<br />

Allocation, pro-rated on a daily basis; and<br />

- the prepayment of the margin on the Term<br />

Loan Facility and line fee associated with the<br />

Bank Loan (refer to Section 3.2). This is<br />

amortised over the six year period that the<br />

prepayment relates to, pro-rated on a daily<br />

basis.<br />

(d) Responsible Entity fees<br />

The Responsible Entity will receive a Trust<br />

establishment fee of $7,165,584, inclusive of GST<br />

less input tax credits, upon Final Allocation,<br />

calculated as 4% of the value of the Trust’s<br />

Property Interest. This fee will be allocated and be<br />

treated in the <strong>Statement</strong> of Financial Position<br />

under A-GAAP and A-IFRS in the following ways:<br />

Cost treatment Allocation ($'000) A-GAAP treatment A-IFRS treatment<br />

8.<br />

Financial<br />

Information (cont.)<br />

From Final Allocation, the Responsible Entity will<br />

receive a fee of 0.46125% (inclusive of GST less any<br />

reduced input tax credits) per annum of the gross<br />

asset value of the Trust for performance of its duties<br />

as the Responsible Entity. However, the Responsible<br />

Entity may defer some of this fee. Details of the<br />

Responsible Entity fee are set out in Sections 9.1 and<br />

9.2. The Financial Forecasts assume the gross asset<br />

value of the Trust's Property Interest is increased by<br />

the Trust's share of the capital expenditure for the<br />

Property.<br />

(e) Trust expenses<br />

The Responsible Entity will incur recurring<br />

operating expenses including audit fees, custodian<br />

fees, registry fees, valuation fees, security trustee<br />

fees and annual reporting costs. These amounts<br />

have been forecast by taking into account factors<br />

likely to influence the level of these fees, charges<br />

and costs including the Trust’s gross assets,<br />

Property valuations and general inflationary<br />

expectations based on an annual CPI increase of<br />

2.5%.<br />

(f) Contributed equity and unpaid call on Units<br />

Investors will pay the First Instalment of $0.40 per<br />

Unit on Application. SFML will use the proceeds<br />

of the Offer to ensure that the Units are paid up to<br />

$0.40 per Unit on or before the date of Final<br />

Allocation. The Security Interest Holder (intended<br />

to be Westpac by the date of Lease<br />

Commencement) will pay the balance of the<br />

unpaid call on Units ($0.60 per Unit) on Lease<br />

Commencement.<br />

(g) Loan to MPT<br />

The Trust will use the funds raised through the<br />

Offer and the first tranche of the Term Loan<br />

Facility to make a loan to MPT on the date of Final<br />

Allocation on which the Trust will receive interest<br />

at the rate of 8.23% per annum.<br />

(h) Investment in Ordinary Units in MPT<br />

At Lease Commencement, the loan to MPT will<br />

be repaid, and 49% of the Ordinary Units in MPT<br />

will be issued to the Trust. The Ordinary Units in<br />

MPT will entitle the Trust to a 49% interest in both<br />

the income and capital of MPT together with an<br />

entitlement to vote and participate in the winding<br />

up of MPT.<br />

(i)<br />

(j)<br />

Capital expenditure<br />

Property capital expenditure is based on an<br />

engineer and quantity surveyor’s estimate of<br />

capital expenditure costs for the proposed new<br />

Buildings, assuming completion on 1 July 2007.<br />

The Trust’s share of forecast capital expenditure is<br />

assumed to be funded entirely by the Capital<br />

Expenditure Facility. The Capital Expenditure<br />

Facility is greater than the Trust’s share of<br />

estimates provided by the engineer and quantity<br />

surveyor for the initial term of the Trust.<br />

Offer costs<br />

The costs of the Offer are estimated as follows:<br />

Offer costs<br />

($'000)<br />

Proportion of Responsible Entity's fee attributable to the arranging of equity 1 4,585<br />

Professional fees (legal, tax and accounting) 473<br />

Marketing, research and printing costs 193<br />

Registry set up costs 51<br />

Total 5,302<br />

Notes.<br />

1. Part of this amount is paid out to cover the cost of underwriting and distributing the Offer.


49<br />

(k) GST<br />

It has been assumed that no GST is payable in<br />

respect of distributions paid by the Trust.<br />

(l)<br />

All forecasts including income, fees, charges and<br />

acquisition costs are shown inclusive of GST<br />

except where the amount of GST incurred is<br />

recoverable from the ATO.<br />

Taxation<br />

Given the nature of the Trust’s proposed<br />

investment activities, the Trust will be subject to<br />

trust taxation "flow through" provisions under<br />

Australian tax legislation. Accordingly, by<br />

distributing all of its income to its Investors, the<br />

Trust does not incur a tax liability. Information on<br />

tax consequences is provided in Section 13.<br />

(m) Accounting standards<br />

It has been assumed there will be no changes in<br />

applicable accounting standards, the Corporations<br />

Act or other financial reporting requirements that<br />

may have a material effect on the Financial<br />

Forecasts.<br />

Interest and Fees on Final Instalment<br />

As Investors will not be required to pay the Final<br />

Instalment of $0.60 per Unit until the Final Instalment<br />

Payment Date (expected to be 30 June 2013 except as<br />

outlined in Sections 4.4 and 4.5), Investors are required<br />

to pay Interest and Fees on the Final Instalment until<br />

the Final Instalment Payment Date. The interest rate<br />

on the Final Instalment is fixed at 6.79% per annum<br />

until 30 June 2013. Part of the margin is being prepaid<br />

and the line fee on the Final Instalment will be paid on<br />

Lease Commencement. The interest rate shown<br />

above of 6.79% per annum is prior to the prepayment.<br />

Section 4.6 has further details of the Interest and Fees.<br />

Other assumptions<br />

Other assumptions that are implicit in the forecasts<br />

are that:<br />

- there will be no material changes in Australian<br />

taxation or other legislation;<br />

- there is no financial impact arising from the risk<br />

factors outlined in the statement of risk factors<br />

discussed in Section 10;<br />

- there is no change of control in the ownership of<br />

MPT; and<br />

- the Optus Lease is enforceable and is performed<br />

in accordance with its terms.<br />

8.9 Taxation considerations<br />

Deloitte has provided a report on the taxation<br />

consequences of investing in the Trust in its Taxation<br />

Report in Section 13.<br />

8.10 Sensitivity analysis<br />

Investors should note that:<br />

- the effect on distributions presented for each<br />

sensitivity is not intended to be indicative or<br />

predictive of the low and high points likely to be<br />

experienced with respect to each sensitivity;<br />

- a movement in the opposite direction from that<br />

shown for each assumption will result in a similar<br />

effect on forecast to that shown, but in the<br />

opposite direction, except to the extent that the<br />

Responsible Entity may receive up to the full<br />

0.46125% per annum management fee (as<br />

disclosed in Section 9.2.1) provided this does not<br />

reduce distributions in that year to below the<br />

forecast distribution per First Instalment as<br />

detailed in Section 8.4;<br />

- each sensitivity assumes all other assumptions in<br />

Section 8.8, other than those below, are held<br />

constant; and<br />

- the sensitivity assessments are intended to<br />

provide a guide only and variations in actual<br />

performance may have a greater impact than<br />

detailed below. Movement in other assumptions<br />

may offset or compound the effect of a change in<br />

the Financial Forecasts, and due to the complexity<br />

of the analysis, the Responsible Entity has not<br />

forecast the combined effect of such movements.<br />

The Responsible Entity has sought to minimise the<br />

number of elements that could vary and impact<br />

returns to Investors. For example, all substantial<br />

interest rate exposures have been fixed and Optus is<br />

committed to agreed rents for the Buildings<br />

throughout the Forecast Period.<br />

The following sensitivity analysis shows the return on<br />

the First Instalment to Investors and the tax deferred<br />

component of forecast distributions in each of the<br />

years to 30 June 2009, based on variations in the CPI<br />

as disclosed in Section 8.8, different levels of interest<br />

rates as they relate to the Capital Expenditure Facility<br />

(the interest rate on the Term Loan Facility has been<br />

fixed until 30 June 2013), and different levels of<br />

capital expenditure incurred.

Financial<br />

Information (cont.)<br />

The consideration for the Property (refer to Section 5.4) is fixed and therefore Investors are not exposed to any<br />

price variations.<br />

Elements of the investment structure that may vary include:<br />

(a) Date of Lease Commencement<br />

If Lease Commencement is delayed beyond the expected date of 1 July 2007, Investors will continue to<br />

receive distributions expected to be approximately equal to the 90-day bank bill rate as the net cash yield<br />

on their First Instalment until Lease Commencement or until Investors receive their Application Monies<br />

back (refer to Sections 7.7.2 and 7.7.3). Under this scenario, Investors would be disadvantaged to the extent<br />

that the distribution payment is less than the net payment they would have received from the Trust's<br />

distribution from MPT had the Optus Lease commenced as scheduled on 1 July 2007. The table below<br />

shows the impact of a delay of one year in Lease Commencement:<br />

(b) Interest rates<br />

The Responsible Entity has fixed interest rates on the $103.226 million Term Loan Facility whereas the<br />

interest rate on the Capital Expenditure Facility ($3.0 million) is variable. Accordingly, reasonably foreseeable<br />

fluctuations in interest rates are not considered to have a material effect on the distributions over the<br />

Forecast Period, but are detailed below:<br />

(c) Capital expenditure<br />

The distributions of the Trust will be impacted to the extent that the Trust is required to fund additional capital<br />

expenditure, beyond the Capital Expenditure Facility, from net operating cash flows (refer to Section 8.8).<br />

Although the Capital Expenditure Facility is greater than the Trust's share of estimates for the initial term of<br />

the Trust provided by the engineer and quantity surveyor, the following table shows the sensitivity to the<br />

distributions if any increase in capital expenditure was funded from net operating cash flows of the Trust:<br />

Note to the sensitivity tables on date of Lease Commencement, interest rates and capital expenditure:<br />

1. There is no change to the distribution per First Instalment for 2006 and 2007 as no capital expenditure is<br />

expected to be incurred prior to Lease Commencement.<br />

2. If Lease Commencement does not occur by 1 July 2008 or such longer period as approved by Investors by<br />

Special Resolution, the Trust will be wound up and Investors will receive their Application Monies back in<br />

full (refer to Sections 7.7.2 and 7.7.3).

gross assets of the Trust and equates to approximately 0.40% per annum on average over the Forecast<br />

Period of net assets when liabilities are excluded.<br />

Fees (cont.)<br />

9.2 Additional explanation of fees and costs<br />

In this section all amounts are stated inclusive of GST less any reduced input tax credits.<br />

9.2.1 Deferral of management fee<br />

The Responsible Entity intends to charge a management fee to the Trust equal to 0.46125% 1 per annum of the<br />

gross assets of the Trust, calculated monthly and payable quarterly in arrears, but has agreed to defer up to<br />

35% of this management fee until 30 June 2013:<br />

- unless, following such deferral, the distributions from the Trust exceed the Financial Forecasts, in which<br />

case it may receive up to the full 0.46125% per annum provided this does not reduce the distributions in<br />

that year to below the forecast distribution per First Instalment;<br />

- to the extent of any such deferral, the Responsible Entity may charge the amount in a subsequent year<br />

provided that during the Forecast Period this does not reduce the distributions in that year to below the<br />

forecast distribution per First Instalment, and after the Forecast Period, this does not reduce the distribution<br />

in that year to below the distribution in the previous year; or<br />

- until such time as the Trust terminates, at which stage it intends to receive the amount deferred and unpaid<br />

from the assets of the Trust.<br />

The management fee payable to the Responsible Entity is outlined below:<br />

2006 2007 2008 2009<br />

Management fee payable ($'000) ($'000) ($'000) ($'000)<br />

Management fee (0.46125% per annum of 140 164 832 826<br />

gross assets of the Trust) (as detailed in the Financial<br />

Forecasts in Section 8.3)<br />

Management fee deferred 0 0 291 289<br />

Management fee paid and not deferred 140 164 541 537<br />

The forecast distributions detailed in Section 8.4 includes the impact of this deferral of fees by the Responsible<br />

Entity. In the event that the Trust outperforms the Financial Forecasts, it is likely that the deferral of<br />

Responsible Entity fees will not occur.<br />

9.2.2 Performance fee<br />

A performance fee is payable to the Responsible Entity from the assets of the Trust within the earlier of the<br />

date 30 days after the date the Responsible Entity receives the proceeds of the sale of the Trust’s Property<br />

Interest, or the date of the final return of capital to Investors (Final Distribution). The performance fee is<br />

calculated as follows:<br />

If the Final Distribution per Unit is greater The performance fee payable to the Responsible<br />

than the Application Price by:<br />

Entity will be:<br />

6%, but less than 18% 1.025% of the Net Sale Proceeds plus, for each additional 3% by<br />

which the Final Distribution per Unit exceeds the Application Price<br />

of the Unit, an additional 0.05125% of the Net Sale Proceeds.<br />

18%, but less than 36% 1.230% of the Net Sale Proceeds plus, for each additional 6% by<br />

which the Final Distribution per Unit exceeds the Application Price<br />

of the Unit, an additional 0.27675% of the Net Sale Proceeds.<br />

36% or more 2.050% of the Net Sale Proceeds.<br />

1 This fee is expressed as a percentage per annum (0.46125%) of gross assets of the Trust and equates to<br />

approximately 0.85% per annum (inclusive of GST less any reduced input tax credits) on average over the<br />

Forecast Period of net assets when liabilities are excluded.


55<br />

By way of a worked example (which is not a forecast, but indicative and for illustrative purposes only), assume<br />

that Investors elect to terminate the Trust on 30 June 2013 and the Net Sale Proceeds of the Trust's Property<br />

Interest is $208,000,000, prior to the deduction of the performance fee (this represents a Property growth rate<br />

of 3.2% per annum). After repayment of the Bank Loan and other liabilities but before deducting the<br />

performance fee, the Final Distribution is $93,600,000. The Final Distribution per Unit before deducting the<br />

performance fee is therefore $1.09, calculated as $93,600,000 divided by the number of Units on issue, being<br />

85,867,000.<br />

As the Final Distribution per Unit is greater than the Application Price by 6%, but less than 18%, then the<br />

performance fee payable to the Responsible Entity is $2,238,600 calculated as:<br />

- 1.025% of the Net Sale Proceeds ($208,000,000), being $2,132,000; plus<br />

- as the Final Distribution per Unit exceeds the Application Price by an additional 3% beyond the 6% initial<br />

threshold, 0.05125% of the Net Sale Proceeds, being $106,600.<br />

These calculations are set out below:<br />

Fees (cont.)<br />

9.2.3 Interest and Fees on the Final Instalment<br />

Investors have an obligation to pay quarterly Interest<br />

and Fees on the Final Instalment until the Final<br />

Instalment Payment Date as follows:<br />

- interest relating to the Final Instalment to be paid<br />

quarterly to the Security Interest Holder from<br />

Lease Commencement on the first Business Day<br />

following the end of each Quarter from Investor<br />

distributions. The interest rate on the Final<br />

Instalment is fixed at the rate of 6.79% per<br />

annum until 30 June 2013, of which 0.50% per<br />

annum is intended to be prepaid on a present<br />

value basis for the term of the Final Instalment at<br />

Lease Commencement;<br />

- an establishment fee relating to the Final<br />

Instalment to be paid to the Security Interest<br />

Holder from the first distribution payable to<br />

Investors for the Quarter ending 31 December<br />

2005. The establishment fee is 1.00% of the Final<br />

Instalment; and<br />

- a line fee relating to the Final Instalment to be<br />

paid to the Security Interest Holder on the first<br />

Business Day following the first Quarter after<br />

Lease Commencement. The line fee is 0.25% per<br />

annum of the Final Instalment from Final<br />

Allocation to Lease Commencement and will<br />

accrue interest at the rate of 0.25% per annum of<br />

the unpaid line fee from Final Allocation until the<br />

line fee and accrued interest is paid.<br />

All Interest and Fees will be deducted by the Security<br />

Trustee from Investors’ entitlement to receive gross<br />

distributions. The Financial Forecasts in Sections 1,<br />

8.3 and 8.4 are calculated after deducting any Interest<br />

and Fees relating to the Final Instalment.<br />

9.2.4 Special request fees<br />

The Responsible Entity may require an Investor to pay<br />

any cost incurred by the Responsible Entity as a<br />

result of that Investor’s act or omission. For example,<br />

if an Investor requests that the Trust’s Property<br />

Interest be valued at a time not considered necessary<br />

by the Responsible Entity.<br />

9.2.5 Maximum fees under the Constitution<br />

The Constitution provides that the Responsible Entity is<br />

entitled to the following maximum fees (GST exclusive):<br />

- establishment fee of 5% of the value of the Trust’s<br />

Property Interest, calculated by reference to the<br />

valuation included in Section 11, payable on Final<br />

Allocation;<br />

- services arranging fee of $1,250,000, payable on<br />

Final Allocation;<br />

- management fee of 1% per annum of the gross<br />

value of the assets of the Trust, calculated monthly<br />

and payable out of the assets of the Trust at the<br />

end of each Quarter; and<br />

- performance fee as described in Section 9.2.2.<br />

The Constitution also provides that, subject to the<br />

Corporations Act, the Responsible Entity is entitled to<br />

be reimbursed out of the assets of the Trust for any<br />

expense that it incurs in the proper performance of its<br />

duties as responsible entity of the Trust.<br />

The Responsible Entity currently intends to charge the<br />

fees set out in the Section 9.1. The Responsible<br />

Entity reserves the right to change the fees that it<br />

charges on 30 days’ written notice to Investors.<br />

9.2.6 Transaction costs<br />

The Constitution authorises the Responsible Entity to<br />

include transaction costs in the calculation of the<br />

application and redemption prices of Units. The<br />

Responsible Entity does not intend to charge<br />

transaction costs.<br />

9.2.7 MPT fees<br />

The Trust will be charged fees on its investment in<br />

MPT. These will be approximately 0.11% per annum<br />

on average over the Forecast Period of the gross<br />

asset value of the Trust (which equates to<br />

approximately 0.23% per annum on average over the<br />

Forecast Period of net assets when liabilities are<br />

excluded).<br />

STML, as responsible entity of MPT, will be paid a<br />

management fee of 0.15% per annum (exclusive of<br />

GST) of the gross asset value of MPT (which has<br />

been included in the Financial Forecasts) plus 50% of<br />

any additional rent paid by Optus for leasing the<br />

passageways (as described in Section 6.2). These<br />

fees will be paid monthly in arrears from the income<br />

of MPT.<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Property Management Pty Limited has<br />

been contracted by MPT to undertake the services of<br />

property manager for 0.5% of the aggregate of rent<br />

and outgoings payable by Optus plus approximately<br />

$200,000 per annum for building supervision salaries<br />

and services, which are both fully recoverable<br />

outgoings from Optus.

An upfront commission fee of up to 5% plus GST of the First Instalment of your Application may be paid<br />

directly to your professional financial adviser by Westpac. No adviser service fee is payable following a transfer<br />

of Instalment Receipts.<br />

9.2.10 Differential fees<br />

The Responsible Entity may individually negotiate investor specific fees with wholesale investors, such as<br />

master trusts or wrap platforms. The charging of differential management fees will be subject to compliance<br />

with legal requirements and the conditions of any applicable ASIC relief.<br />

9.2.11 Impact of fees on your investment returns<br />

Investors seeking to assess the impact that fees will have on their investment returns should speak with their<br />

financial adviser or visit www.asic.gov.au, where ASIC offers a free calculator to help investors compare the<br />

fees of different products.

Risk Factors<br />

10.1 Introduction<br />

The performance of the Trust and Units will be<br />

influenced by a range of factors, many of which are<br />

outside the control of the Responsible Entity and its<br />

directors. The level of income and capital distributions,<br />

the value of the Property and the tax deferred<br />

component of any distributions may be reduced by<br />

any of these factors.<br />

Applicants should also be aware that an investment in<br />

the Trust represents an investment in the Trust’s<br />

equity and therefore ranks last for payment, after both<br />

secured and unsecured creditors of the Trust have<br />

been paid, in the event the Trust is terminated or<br />

wound up. In this event, Investors will only receive a<br />

return of capital following the repayment of secured<br />

and unsecured creditors. In extreme circumstances,<br />

Investors may lose all of their capital invested. The<br />

Constitution contains provisions designed to limit an<br />

Investor’s liability to the amount which remains<br />

unpaid in relation to the subscription of Units, if any.<br />

The Trust’s borrowings and the Final Instalment will<br />

increase Investors’ exposure to unforeseen events or<br />

risk factors, a summary of which are set out in this<br />

Section 10.<br />

10.2 Risks prior to Lease<br />

Commencement<br />

Construction<br />

During the construction of the Buildings, Investors will<br />

be protected from all development risks (such as<br />

increases in construction costs, delayed or no<br />

completion).<br />

MPT will pay <strong>Stockland</strong> Development, a related entity<br />

of the Responsible Entity, a fixed price for the<br />

development of the Property, regardless of whether<br />

the costs of construction increase or completion of<br />

the development is delayed. This is detailed in<br />

Section 5.4.<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Development has contracted to construct<br />

84,000 sqm of Building area for Optus. If the area of<br />

the Buildings on completion is:<br />

- equal to or greater than 84,000 sqm in accordance<br />

with the Optus Lease, the rent payable by Optus<br />

will be based on 84,000 sqm (and the price<br />

payable under the Turn-Key Development Deed for<br />

the Buildings remains fixed);<br />

- less than 84,000 sqm but more than 79,800 sqm<br />

(a 5% tolerance level), then Optus will pay rent<br />

based on the actual Building area and <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

Development will guarantee MPT the difference<br />

between the actual rent payable by Optus and the<br />

rent based on 84,000 sqm of Building area under<br />

the Optus Lease until such time as at least 84,000<br />

sqm of Building area has been constructed (and<br />

the price payable under the Turn-Key Development<br />

Deed for the Buildings remains fixed). <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

Development will also guarantee the capital<br />

amount of the shortfall of net lettable area upon<br />

sale of the Trust’s Property Interest; or<br />

- less than 79,800 sqm, Optus has the right to<br />

terminate the Agreement for Lease, in which case<br />

the Trust will be wound up and Investors will<br />

receive their Application Monies back in full as<br />

described in Sections 7.7.2 and 7.7.3<br />

If the Property is not completed by 1 July 2008 or<br />

such longer period as approved by Investors by<br />

Special Resolution or Optus terminates the<br />

Agreement for Lease, the Trust will be terminated and<br />

Investors will receive their Application Monies back.<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Trust will guarantee to MPT to subscribe for<br />

ordinary units in MPT or lend money to MPT which is<br />

sufficient to enable MPT to repay the Trust's loan,<br />

whilst <strong>Stockland</strong> Corporation will indemnify the Trust<br />

in respect of any shortfall in the return of the First<br />

Instalment to Investors from terminating the Trust.<br />

Details of these agreements are provided in Sections<br />

7.7.2 and 7.7.3.<br />

Guarantee provider defaulting<br />

As a result of the guarantee and indemnity provided<br />

by <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust and <strong>Stockland</strong> Corporation which<br />

are referred to above, during the construction of the<br />

Buildings, Investors are exposed to the risk of<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> not being able to honour its obligations<br />

under the relevant guarantees. <strong>Stockland</strong> is rated<br />

A- stable by Standard & Poor’s (refer to Section 15.10).<br />

"Widely held" test for Units<br />

The Responsible Entity will monitor the Applications<br />

to ensure that the Trust is "widely held" for the<br />

purposes of the Duties Act 1997 (NSW) (Duties Act).<br />

To be "widely held", the Trust must have more than<br />

300 Investors and no one Investor can beneficially<br />

hold more than 19.9% of the Units on issue. A risk<br />

exists that the Underwriters may have to purchase<br />

Instalment Receipts, and therefore acquire a<br />

beneficial interest in Units, if a shortfall exists, where,<br />

upon acquisition, they individually hold more than<br />

19.9% of the Units. Alternatively, there may be less<br />

than 300 Investors. If the Trust is not "widely held",


59<br />

the Trust may be liable for stamp duty when it<br />

acquires its Ordinary Units in MPT upon Lease<br />

Commencement. Accordingly, if the Trust is not<br />

"widely held" by Lease Commencement, then the<br />

Trust will be terminated, and Investors will receive<br />

their Application Monies back in full.<br />

Wholesale unit trust scheme test for MPT<br />

MPT must be a "wholesale unit trust scheme" for the<br />

purposes of the Duties Act from Lease<br />

Commencement. This means that MPT must have at<br />

least three unitholders, 80% of which are "qualifying<br />

investors" for the purposes of the Duties Act.<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Trust and the Trust will be "qualifying<br />

investors", who in aggregate, intend to hold at least<br />

80% of the ordinary units in MPT from Lease<br />

Commencement.<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Trust is negotiating with a Wholesale<br />

Investor to acquire up to 20% of the ordinary units in<br />

MPT. If these negotiations are not concluded by the<br />

date of Final Allocation, <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust intends to<br />

acquire 51% of the ordinary units in MPT and sell up<br />

to 20% of the ordinary units on issue to a Wholesale<br />

Investor by Lease Commencement. If <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust<br />

cannot sell at least 1% of the ordinary units on issue<br />

in MPT by Lease Commencement, the Trust will be<br />

terminated, and Investors will receive their Application<br />

Monies back in full.<br />

10.3 Risks following Lease<br />

Commencement<br />

Single asset and single source income risk<br />

After Lease Commencement, the Trust's primary<br />

asset will be an indirect 49% interest in six campusstyle<br />

office buildings in Macquarie Park. Accordingly,<br />

the Trust is exposed to movements in the Macquarie<br />

Park property market, particularly upon sale of the<br />

Trust's Property Interest following a resolution by<br />

Investors to terminate the Trust, and therefore may be<br />

considered more risky than a diversified property<br />

trust. The key terms of the Optus Lease, being fixed<br />

rental income (except upon the sixth anniversary of<br />

the Optus Lease where there is a market review of<br />

the rent with a maximum rental increase of 6% and a<br />

maximum rental decease of 3% from the previous<br />

year's rent) and staggered initial lease terms of 14, 15<br />

and 16 years, partially mitigate property market risk<br />

for the term of the Optus Lease. Section 6.2 contains<br />

further details on the Optus Lease and Section 11<br />

contains further details on the Macquarie Park<br />

property market.<br />

Abatement of rent<br />

Optus has the right to abate rent in circumstances<br />

that were not caused by Optus to the extent that the<br />

Property is damaged in whole or in part and the<br />

Property becomes substantially unfit for occupation<br />

and use by Optus or is substantially inaccessible.<br />

Insurance may not cover all of these events.<br />

Financial strength of the tenant and the Guarantor<br />

of the Optus Lease<br />

From Lease Commencement, Optus will be the sole<br />

tenant of the Property. As the Trust derives the<br />

majority of its income from its 49% interest in MPT<br />

(which owns the Property), the distributions made to<br />

Investors after Lease Commencement will be highly<br />

dependent on the ability of Optus to continue to pay<br />

rent. If Optus is unable to meet these rental<br />

obligations, the guarantee provided by SingTel Optus<br />

Pty Limited, an entity rated A+ stable by Standard &<br />

Poor’s (refer to Section 15.10), will be called upon. If<br />

the Guarantor of the Optus Lease fails to maintain a<br />

Standard & Poor’s credit rating of not less than BBB+,<br />

then the Guarantor of the Optus Lease must provide<br />

MPT with an irrevocable and unconditional bank<br />

guarantee (without an expiry date) for an amount<br />

equal to one year’s rent, outgoings and cleaning<br />

charges. If Optus fails to make rental payments and<br />

should SingTel Optus Pty Limited be unable to meet<br />

these obligations either personally or through the use<br />

of the bank guarantee, distributions to Investors will<br />

be disrupted.<br />

Optus may assign the lease to a company that is a<br />

related entity of Optus or the Guarantor of the Optus<br />

Lease. However, SingTel Optus Pty Limited remains<br />

the Guarantor of the Optus Lease.<br />

Capital expenditure requirements and unforeseen<br />

Property expenses<br />

The Financial Forecasts include an allowance for the<br />

Trust’s 49% share of the capital expenditure funding<br />

requirements of the Property over the Forecast Period.<br />

A Capital Expenditure Facility of $3.0 million (and an<br />

Overdraft Facility of $1.0 million) has been obtained<br />

from the Financier to meet this forecast funding<br />

requirement to 30 June 2009 and any further capital<br />

expenditure incurred from 1 July 2009 to 30 June 2013.<br />

There is a risk that unforeseen additional capital<br />

expenditure requirements may require additional<br />

funding beyond the amount available under the<br />

aggregate of the Capital Expenditure Facility and<br />

Overdraft Facility. If the Trust cannot raise funds from<br />

an alternative source, the amount of distributions<br />

from the Trust to Investors may reduce.


60<br />

10.<br />

Risk Factors<br />

(cont.)<br />

To the extent that unforeseen additional funding<br />

requires an additional capital contribution by the<br />

unitholders of MPT, and one of those unitholders is<br />

unable or unwilling to contribute such capital, then<br />

that unitholder may be required to offer their interest<br />

in MPT for sale under the default provisions of the<br />

proposed MPT Investors’ Deed, with a first right to<br />

purchase held by the non-defaulting unitholders.<br />

The Responsible Entity is not aware of any expenses<br />

that may need to be incurred in respect of the Trust’s<br />

Property Interest over the Forecast Period that have<br />

not already been assumed in the Financial Forecasts.<br />

A sensitivity analysis showing the impact of increases<br />

in capital expenditure requirements is provided in<br />

Section 8.10.<br />

The risk of large amounts of unforeseen capital<br />

expenditure arising following Lease Commencement<br />

is mitigated by the fact that the Property will be<br />

newly built and building warranties will be available for<br />

at least 12 months.<br />

Bank Loan availability<br />

Formal documentation relating to the Bank Loan is yet<br />

to be finalised. Based on the letter of offer provided<br />

by the Financier and accepted by the Responsible<br />

Entity, the Bank Loan will have a number of<br />

conditions precedent to drawing down the loan.<br />

These include the provision of a certificate of practical<br />

completion for the Buildings, documentation to the<br />

reasonable satisfaction of the Financier and<br />

completion of another independent valuation of the<br />

Property on Lease Commencement. A risk exists<br />

that documentation may not be signed or be different<br />

from that disclosed in this PDS, any one of the<br />

conditions precedent may not be satisfied or the<br />

value of the Property drops to less than $324.25<br />

million (a decrease of 7.65%), in which case the<br />

Responsible Entity may have to renegotiate the Bank<br />

Loan or wind up the Trust. Investors may receive less<br />

than their Application Monies.<br />

Bank Loan default<br />

The Bank Loan will contain a number of financial<br />

covenants with which the Trust will need to comply<br />

during the term of the Bank Loan. These include an<br />

interest cover ratio (earnings before interest,<br />

depreciation and tax divided by the amount of interest<br />

payable to the Financier) of 120% and a loan-tovaluation<br />

ratio (principal amount of the Bank Loan<br />

divided by the valuation of the Property) of 70%. If<br />

any of these covenants are breached (for example,<br />

the value of the Property decreases), the Financier<br />

will be entitled to enforce its security if the breach is<br />

not rectified and sell the Trust’s Property Interest<br />

resulting in the Trust being wound up. Investors may<br />

receive more or less than their Application Monies.<br />

Interest rates<br />

The following interest rate risks are associated with<br />

the Offer, and have been considered in the sensitivity<br />

analysis in Section 8.10:<br />

- the Responsible Entity has entered into an<br />

interest rate swap agreement to fix the rate of<br />

interest on the Term Loan Facility for its term. This<br />

agreement provides for flexibility around the date<br />

of Lease Commencement and therefore the<br />

timing relating to the drawdown of the second<br />

tranche of the Term Loan Facility. Accordingly,<br />

there is no exposure to any changes in interest<br />

rates (either the underlying rate or the margin)<br />

during the period of the Term Loan Facility<br />

assuming the facility is not in default and that a<br />

review event does not occur;<br />

- notwithstanding that the Term Loan Facility<br />

interest rate is effectively fixed, changes in<br />

interest rates may affect the attractiveness of the<br />

Trust to Investors when compared to other<br />

investment assets. A decline in interest rates is<br />

likely to have little benefit on the borrowing<br />

expenses of the Trust, other than due to the<br />

variable rate attributable to the Capital Expenditure<br />

Facility (refer below); and<br />

- the Capital Expenditure Facility is subject to a<br />

variable rate of interest (comprising a variable<br />

underlying rate and a fixed margin) for the term of<br />

the facility. The Financial Forecasts assume an<br />

average interest rate of 6.20% per annum as it<br />

relates to this facility, and that the facility will be<br />

progressively drawn over the Forecast Period<br />

(refer to Section 8.8).<br />

Refinancing<br />

The term of the Bank Loan ends on 30 June 2013<br />

(coinciding with the initial term of the Trust); however<br />

the Financier may terminate the Bank Loan earlier<br />

than 30 June 2013 if a facility is in default or if there is<br />

a Change of Control. If the Financier terminates the<br />

Bank Loan, or Investors resolve to extend the term of<br />

the Trust (see Section 3.4), the Trust may be required<br />

to refinance the Bank Loan and there is no guarantee<br />

that new facilities may be obtained at competitive or<br />

comparable interest rates, if at all. If the Bank Loan<br />

cannot be entirely refinanced on termination or expiry,


61<br />

the Responsible Entity may be required to raise<br />

additional equity to reduce the level of the new loan<br />

facilities held by the Trust. This may impact the returns<br />

achieved by Investors and the amount of Trust<br />

distributions.<br />

Westpac will provide the Bank Loan to the Trust. In<br />

the event that there is a Change of Control of the<br />

Trust or a change in the Responsible Entity, then the<br />

facilities provided by Westpac may be terminated. It<br />

is market practice and a matter of prudent credit<br />

standards that the provider of the Bank Loan has the<br />

option to terminate it where there is a Change of<br />

Control of the Trust.<br />

The other key default events under the Bank Loan<br />

include:<br />

- termination or winding up of the Trust;<br />

- a capital distribution or reduction of capital made<br />

from the Trust’s assets without the consent of the<br />

Financier; and<br />

- a default under any other material contract relating<br />

to the Offer.<br />

Property vacancy<br />

The Financial Forecasts assume that Optus will<br />

remain the tenant of the Property until lease expiry.<br />

There are three leases of 14, 15 and 16 years<br />

respectively. Each lease is for two of the six<br />

Buildings. Optus can elect to vacate the Property<br />

prior to the expiry of the leases without fully<br />

compensating MPT under the following<br />

circumstances:<br />

- Partial termination - Optus has the right to<br />

surrender Building A (including 356 undercover<br />

and 18 uncovered car spaces) after providing not<br />

less than 18 months' prior written notice. In the<br />

event that this option is exercised, the lease<br />

applicable to Buildings A and B will be varied to<br />

apply only to Building B with appropriate<br />

adjustments in rent and outgoings made in<br />

proportion to the surveyed areas of Buildings A<br />

and B. Optus will hand back the exclusive<br />

common area and pay for works associated with<br />

separating the two Buildings and make good<br />

Building A; and<br />

- Default by the lessor - Termination following a<br />

default by MPT under the Optus Lease.<br />

In the event of termination or partial termination, the<br />

vacant space may:<br />

- not be re-let;<br />

- be re-let on less favourable terms to MPT and/or<br />

require the payment of an incentive to the<br />

incoming tenant;<br />

- be let to a number of tenants which requires more<br />

area to be used as common area where no rent is<br />

payable; or<br />

- be let to a tenant with a lower financial standing<br />

than Optus.<br />

Any of these scenarios will detrimentally affect<br />

distributions to Investors.<br />

Insurance<br />

The Responsible Entity will endeavour to maintain, or<br />

cause MPT to maintain, adequate insurance for the<br />

Property. However, the availability of appropriate<br />

insurance cannot be known with certainty.<br />

There are a number of exclusions to many insurance<br />

policies which are typical for commercial properties<br />

including war, nuclear/biological perils, care custody<br />

and control, and contamination/remediation.<br />

In the event of damage to the Property as a result of<br />

one of the above exclusions, under the Optus Lease,<br />

MPT (of which the Trust will own 49%) will be liable<br />

for the rectification and replacement of the assets.<br />

Any such costs may have an impact on the<br />

distributions and returns to Investors.<br />

At and from Lease Commencement, MPT will<br />

endeavour to insure the Property, however the<br />

availability of appropriate insurance cannot be known<br />

with certainty. Insurance costs will be borne by Optus<br />

under the Optus Lease.<br />

Environmental factors<br />

The Property is currently being developed, which<br />

involves the demolition of existing buildings on the<br />

Property, excavation of certain areas of the Property<br />

for the basement car parking, and the construction of<br />

the Buildings. <strong>Stockland</strong> Development, as developer<br />

of the Property, is responsible for the environmental<br />

risk until the date of Lease Commencement.<br />

After Lease Commencement, MPT is responsible for<br />

the environmental risk on the Property, unless it was<br />

caused by Optus. The Trust will own 49% of the<br />

Ordinary Units in MPT after Lease Commencement.


62<br />

10.<br />

Risk Factors<br />

(cont.)<br />

Given the Property is being excavated in certain areas<br />

for the basement car parking during the construction<br />

of the Buildings, the risk of identifying contamination<br />

is low.<br />

MPT Investors' Deed<br />

The Trust intends to be a party to the proposed MPT<br />

Investors' Deed which will govern the relationship<br />

between the three unitholders of MPT. There are a<br />

number of provisions in the proposed MPT Investors'<br />

Deed that provide for a defaulting party to offer its<br />

ordinary units in MPT for sale to the other two nondefaulting<br />

parties (refer to Section 15.3). One of the<br />

three unitholders may be in default because, for<br />

example, they have not subscribed for their proportion<br />

of additional ordinary units in MPT (the Trust's<br />

proportion is 49%). The unitholders may have to<br />

subscribe for additional ordinary units or MPT may<br />

borrow funds to meet capital expenditure for the<br />

Property. MPT intends to obtain a $10 million standby<br />

bank facility to meet such obligations where any<br />

unitholder defaults on its obligation to subscribe for<br />

further ordinary units in MPT for capital expenditure<br />

requirements. If MPT borrows money under this<br />

facility, MPT will be liable to pay interest on these<br />

borrowings which may adversely affect the returns to<br />

Investors.<br />

The Trust may be exposed to legal action if there is a<br />

dispute between the parties or the Trust may breach<br />

the proposed MPT Investors' Deed and be in default,<br />

in which case it may have to offer its Ordinary Units in<br />

MPT for sale to the other non-defaulting parties as<br />

described in Section 3.5. In these circumstances, the<br />

Trust will be wound up. There is a risk that a<br />

defaulting unitholder in MPT may not be able to sell<br />

its ordinary units in MPT, and ultimately may not be<br />

able to fulfil its obligations under the proposed MPT<br />

Investors' Deed.<br />

10.4 Risks relating to Instalment<br />

Receipts<br />

Ability of superannuation funds to invest<br />

The report in Section 14 prepared by Mallesons<br />

Stephen Jaques states that the arrangement<br />

described in the Offer is not a prohibited “borrowing”,<br />

but there is a risk that APRA or the ATO may take a<br />

different view. In published material APRA has<br />

acknowledged the distinction between a loan and an<br />

instalment purchase arrangement where recourse of<br />

the seller on default by the purchaser is limited to the<br />

proceeds of sale of the asset. Under the<br />

arrangement described in the Offer, the Security<br />

Interest Holder is entitled, in given circumstances, to<br />

recover unpaid money plus interest, fees, expenses<br />

and taxes if the Investor does not pay the Final<br />

Instalment. Neither APRA nor the ATO has publicly<br />

commented on this concept and there is a risk that<br />

they may take a contrary view.<br />

High effective gearing<br />

Investors will have an effective Gearing Ratio of 90%<br />

on Final Allocation when the Final Instalment is<br />

aggregated with the Bank Loan. The level of effective<br />

gearing may change depending on the drawn balance<br />

of the Bank Loan, the Final Instalment and the<br />

carrying value of the Trust’s gross assets. While the<br />

interest rate on the Final Instalment is fixed, the<br />

effect of the additional gearing cannot only enhance<br />

returns, but can also result in any losses being<br />

magnified to a level where the Investor can<br />

experience a loss of some or all of their Application<br />

Monies and still remain liable to pay Interest and Fees<br />

and the Final Instalment, together with default<br />

interest and other costs.<br />

Early payment of Final Instalment<br />

Under the terms of the Security Trust Deed, there are<br />

a number of events that may lead to the early<br />

payment of the Final Instalment. These events are set<br />

out in Section 4.4.<br />

Should any of these events occur and the Final<br />

Instalment is not refinanced, the Final Instalment may<br />

be required to be paid before 30 June 2013. Investors<br />

would be given notice of the payment becoming due.<br />

Final Instalment interest rates<br />

An investment in the Trust contains gearing in the<br />

form of the Final Instalment. The Final Instalment has<br />

interest charged at a fixed rate of 6.79% per annum<br />

for the period to 30 June 2013. This means Investors<br />

interest exposure is limited to:<br />

- the risk that this fixed rate becomes an<br />

unattractive interest rate due to market rates<br />

falling below this level. Investors will not be able<br />

to refinance the Final Instalment; and<br />

- the early payment of the Final Instalment (see<br />

Section 4.4) potentially giving rise to break costs<br />

or benefits (in addition to the Final Instalment) that<br />

are unquantifiable in advance.


63<br />

Liability of Investors if Investors default<br />

If an Investor does not pay the Final Instalment when<br />

due then the Security Interest Holder can exercise its<br />

right to sell the Units in which the Investor has a<br />

beneficial interest. If the proceeds from the sale of<br />

Units, less any sales expenses, are insufficient to<br />

repay the Investor’s obligations to the Security<br />

Interest Holder then the Investor will remain liable for<br />

the outstanding balance.<br />

10.5 General risks<br />

Taxation<br />

A deduction for Interest and Fee payments made by<br />

Investors on the Final Instalment is likely to be<br />

available where the purpose of the Investor in<br />

investing in Instalment Receipts, and subsequently<br />

Units, is for the derivation of future assessable<br />

income (other than capital gains) in excess of the<br />

amount of these deductions. In determining whether<br />

a deduction is available for Interest and Fee<br />

payments, Investors will need to have regard to the<br />

purpose of their investment, their source of funding<br />

for the First Instalment and the period they intend to<br />

hold the investment. The Commissioner of Taxation<br />

may seek to deny some part, or all, of the interest on<br />

the Instalment Receipt if the requisite purpose cannot<br />

be established.<br />

If an Investor decides to sell its investment in the<br />

Trust before the taxable distributions exceed the<br />

Interest and Fees deductions, this might raise<br />

questions as to whether the Units were acquired for<br />

the purpose of producing assessable income,<br />

depending on the Investor’s particular circumstances.<br />

The Commissioner of Taxation may seek to deny<br />

some part, or all, of the Interest and Fees on the Final<br />

Instalment if the requisite purpose cannot be<br />

established.<br />

On 16 April 2003, the Treasurer announced in Press<br />

Release No. 19 that legislation would be introduced to<br />

amend the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 to<br />

ensure that part of the expense on a capital protected<br />

product is attributable to the cost of the capital<br />

protection feature resulting in part of the interest<br />

expense not being deductible. The legislation is yet to<br />

be introduced and a capital protected product is yet to<br />

be defined. However, the indication from the<br />

Treasurer’s Press Release was that limited recourse<br />

loans for the purchase of shares and/or units would<br />

be within the scope of the provisions.<br />

Applicants should refer to Sections 4.7 and 13 and<br />

seek independent advice from a taxation adviser in<br />

light of their individual circumstances.<br />

Financial Forecast assumptions<br />

Although the Responsible Entity has endeavoured to<br />

ensure that the assumptions made in the Financial<br />

Forecasts are reasonably based, there are a number<br />

of factors which may affect the achievement of those<br />

forecasts. Investors should carefully review the<br />

assumptions and Financial Forecasts and make their<br />

own assessment on the future performance of the<br />

Trust.<br />

Changes in laws and government policy<br />

Government legislation, including changes to the<br />

taxation system, as it affects Trust distributions and<br />

property investments may affect future earnings and<br />

the relative attractiveness of investing in the Trust.<br />

Changes in government policy (such as taxation)<br />

and/or statutory changes (such as tenancy laws) may<br />

affect the Trust or the Property and the attractiveness<br />

of an investment in the Trust.<br />

Economic conditions<br />

Demand for properties of this type from both property<br />

occupiers and investors will be important in<br />

determining the level, if any, of income and capital<br />

growth of the Trust’s Property Interest. Changes in the<br />

economy and market conditions may affect such<br />

demand and therefore property values, including the<br />

value of the Property.<br />

Liquidity<br />

Other than the Limited Liquidity Facility provided by<br />

Westpac, there is no formal secondary market or<br />

redemption facility for the buying and selling of<br />

Instalment Receipts. Investors will be required to hold<br />

their Instalment Receipts until the Trust is wound up<br />

or another exit mechanism is effected, unless<br />

Investors are able to find their own buyer and<br />

negotiate a sale price for their Instalment Receipts or<br />

participate in the Limited Liquidity Facility. The<br />

Limited Liquidity Facility may be terminated at any<br />

time without notice to Investors under certain<br />

circumstances. Section 3.7 has more details on the<br />

Limited Liquidity Facility.

81<br />

15.1 Constitution of the Trust<br />

Constitutional framework<br />

The Trust is a registered managed investment<br />

scheme. The responsible entity of the Trust is<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Funds Management Limited. The main<br />

rules governing the operation of the Trust are set out<br />

in the Constitution.<br />

The Constitution is supplemented by the Corporations<br />

Act, the modifications and exemptions made by ASIC,<br />

and the general law of trusts.<br />

The Responsible Entity must comply with all of the<br />

obligations imposed by the Constitution and the<br />

general law in administering the Trust. The Trust has a<br />

Compliance Plan that sets out the measures that the<br />

Responsible Entity will apply in operating the Trust to<br />

ensure that it complies with these obligations.<br />

A copy of the Constitution is available for inspection<br />

at the Responsible Entity’s registered office during<br />

business hours.<br />

Summary of the Constitution<br />

The main provisions of the Constitution that deal with<br />

the rights and obligations of unitholders are:<br />

- distributions: subject to the terms of issue of<br />

particular units, unitholders are entitled to be paid<br />

distributions from the Trust's income proportionate<br />

to their unitholding. The Responsible Entity will<br />

pay distributions within two months of the end of<br />

the relevant period. It is expected that<br />

distributions will be calculated quarterly;<br />

- Units: a fully paid Unit confers an equal undivided<br />

interest in the beneficial interest of the Trust. A<br />

partly paid Unit confers an interest of the same<br />

nature less the amount remaining to be paid up on<br />

the Unit;<br />

- meetings: the rights of unitholders to requisition,<br />

attend and vote at meetings are mostly prescribed<br />

by the Corporations Act. The Constitution provides<br />

that the quorum for a meeting is normally two or<br />

more unitholders holding at least 10% of all Units;<br />

- transfer: unitholders may transfer Units in any<br />

form approved by the Responsible Entity;<br />

- no redemption: unitholders do not have a right to<br />

redeem Units while the Trust is illiquid. The Trust<br />

is illiquid if less than 80% of its assets are cash<br />

and marketable securities. It is expected that the<br />

Trust will be illiquid. If the Trust becomes liquid,<br />

unitholders have a right to redeem Units on 60<br />

days' written notice;<br />

- winding up: the net proceeds of the Trust will be<br />

distributed to unitholders proportionate to their<br />

unitholdings; and<br />

- liability: a unitholder is liable for expenses that the<br />

Responsible Entity incurs as a result of their<br />

individual act or omission. The liability of each<br />

unitholder is otherwise limited under the<br />

Constitution to any amount that remains unpaid in<br />

relation to their Units, although higher courts are<br />

yet to determine the effectiveness of provisions of<br />

this kind.<br />

The Constitution also deals with the powers, duties<br />

and liability of the Responsible Entity:<br />

- powers: the Responsible Entity has the power to<br />

borrow, invest and generally manage the Trust.<br />

The Responsible Entity also has the power to<br />

issue Units and options over Units on such terms<br />

as it determines, although the Constitution<br />

contains specific provisions concerning the pricing<br />

of Units;<br />

- duties: the Responsible Entity's duties are mostly<br />

prescribed by the Corporations Act. These include<br />

the duty to act honestly and in the best interests<br />

of unitholders and to exercise the degree of care<br />

and skill that a reasonable person would exercise<br />

if they were in the Responsible Entity's position;<br />

- fees: the Responsible Entity is entitled to be paid<br />

fees from the Trust. These fees are disclosed in<br />

Section 9. The Responsible Entity may accept<br />

lower fees than it is entitled to receive under the<br />

Constitution, or may defer payment for any period;<br />

- expenses: subject to the Corporations Act, the<br />

Responsible Entity is entitled to be reimbursed<br />

out of the assets of the Trust for all expenses<br />

incurred in relation to the proper performance of<br />

its duties. Such expenses include, but are not<br />

limited to: expenses connected with the<br />

acquisition, disposal, insurance or custody of the<br />

Trust's assets; expenses connected with<br />

borrowing arrangements on behalf of the Trust;<br />

and fees paid to agents, advisers, contractors and<br />

valuers, irrespective of whether they are<br />

associates of the Responsible Entity. The<br />

Responsible Entity is also entitled to be<br />

reimbursed for any GST paid in relation to such<br />

expenses;

Information (cont.)<br />

- restructure: the Responsible Entity has the power<br />

to do all things necessary to give effect to a<br />

restructure proposal, including compulsorily<br />

acquiring or transferring Units for consideration<br />

including securities, if the restructure proposal has<br />

been approved by a Special Resolution of<br />

unitholders;<br />

- miscellaneous: the Responsible Entity is entitled<br />

to: act upon advice given by professionals; value<br />

the assets of the Trust at any time; hold Units in<br />

any capacity; deal with itself or have an interest in<br />

a contract or transaction; and retire as responsible<br />

entity; and<br />

- liability: the Responsible Entity is not liable in<br />

contract, tort or otherwise for any loss suffered by<br />

unitholders except as imposed by the<br />

Corporations Act. The Responsible Entity is<br />

entitled to be indemnified out of the Trust's assets<br />

for any liability it incurs in properly performing its<br />

duties or exercising any of its powers in relation to<br />

the Trust.<br />

The Constitution provides that the Trust will terminate<br />

on the earliest of: the date specified as the<br />

termination date by the Responsible Entity in a notice<br />

to unitholders; the date proposed by the Responsible<br />

Entity and approved by a Special Resolution of<br />

unitholders; or the date on which the Trust terminates<br />

according to the Constitution or by law.<br />

The Responsible Entity must convene a meeting of<br />

unitholders prior to the eighth anniversary of the date<br />

of commencement of the Trust to consider a<br />

resolution to terminate the Trust.<br />

Subject to the Corporations Act, the Constitution may<br />

be amended by the Responsible Entity or a resolution<br />

of unitholders.<br />

15.2 Constitution of MPT<br />

MPT is not yet a registered managed investment<br />

scheme, but it is intended to be registered prior to<br />

Lease Commencement. The responsible entity of<br />

MPT is <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust Management Limited. The<br />

main rules governing the operation of MPT are set out<br />

in its constitution.<br />

The main provisions of the constitution for MPT are<br />

essentially the same as the main provisions of the<br />

constitution for the Trust (described in Section 15.1),<br />

except in relation to:<br />

- fees of MPT which are disclosed in Section 9.2.7;<br />

- termination of MPT as:<br />

- a termination date proposed by the responsible<br />

entity of MPT does not need to be approved<br />

by a special resolution of unitholders of MPT;<br />

and<br />

- there is no provision requiring a meeting after<br />

a period to permit the unitholders in MPT to<br />

vote on the winding up of MPT;<br />

- the quorum at MPT unitholder meetings, which is<br />

two members holding 25% of the Ordinary Units<br />

in MPT; and<br />

- borrowing, as after Lease Commencement, the<br />

responsible entity of MPT can only borrow money<br />

or charge or encumber assets for the purpose of:<br />

- paying any tax payable on or in relation to the<br />

Property or Optus Lease;<br />

- paying the acquisition price on the part of the<br />

Property known as Paul Street North (refer to<br />

Section 5.6); or<br />

- for such other purpose as it may consider<br />

necessary or desirable provided that the<br />

aggregate of these additional borrowings does<br />

not exceed $10 million.<br />

15.3 MPT Investors’ Deed<br />

On Lease Commencement, <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust intends to<br />

reduce its interest in MPT to a minimum of 31% by<br />

facilitating the issue of ordinary units in MPT to the<br />

Trust (49%) and a Wholesale Investor (20%).<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> is currently negotiating with a Wholesale<br />

Investor on price and terms similar to that offered to<br />

the Trust. Any proposed acquisition of ordinary units in<br />

MPT by Wholesale Investor(s) prior to Lease<br />

Commencement will be made at price and terms<br />

similar to that provided to the Trust.<br />

The proposed MPT Investors’ Deed sets out the<br />

obligations of <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust, the Wholesale Investor<br />

and the Trust in respect of their investment in MPT.<br />

Under the proposed MPT Investors’ Deed, the parties<br />

intend to agree as follows:<br />

- <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust will subscribe for 15,640,705<br />

ordinary units in MPT and additional units to fund<br />

its share of the establishment costs of MPT and<br />

the costs of acquiring the Property at $1.00 per<br />

ordinary unit;


83<br />

- the Wholesale Investor and the Trust will subscribe<br />

for 10,090,777 and 24,722,404 Series A and<br />

Series B MPT Notes respectively and additional<br />

MPT Notes to acquire their share of the<br />

establishment costs of MPT and the costs of<br />

acquiring the Property, all at $1.00 per note on<br />

Final Allocation;<br />

- until Lease Commencement, the Series A MPT<br />

Notes will require interest be paid on their face<br />

value at the rate of 5.75% per annum. The Series<br />

B MPT Notes will require interest be paid on their<br />

face value at the rate of 8.23% per annum. The<br />

Series A and Series B MPT Notes will be<br />

unsecured;<br />

- on Lease Commencement and provided that the<br />

conditions precedent are satisfied, the Wholesale<br />

Investor and the Trust will subscribe for such<br />

number of ordinary units in MPT as the number of<br />

MPT Notes they hold, with the consideration to be<br />

given by way of promissory note;<br />

- MPT will deliver to the Wholesale Investor and the<br />

Trust the promissory notes received as<br />

consideration for the ordinary units in MPT for<br />

which they subscribe on Lease Commencement,<br />

in satisfaction of the principal amount on all of the<br />

MPT Notes, and the MPT Notes will thereby be<br />

extinguished;<br />

- on Lease Commencement provided the conditions<br />

precedent are satisfied, <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust, the<br />

Wholesale Investor and the Trust will subscribe for<br />

300,653,914 additional ordinary units in MPT so<br />

that they each hold the following proportions of<br />

ordinary units in MPT:<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Trust 31%<br />

Wholesale Investor 20%<br />

Trust 49%<br />

- if Lease Commencement does not occur before 1<br />

July 2008 (which date may be accelerated by<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Development advising MPT that Lease<br />

Commencement cannot be achieved by 1 July<br />

2008 or delayed by unanimous approval of MPT<br />

unitholders) or if the conditions precedent to<br />

Lease Commencement are not satisfied, MPT will<br />

repay the principal amount on all of the MPT<br />

Notes and the holders of the MPT Notes will not<br />

be required to subscribe for ordinary units in MPT.<br />

In this instance, <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust has agreed to<br />

guarantee to MPT payment of such an amount of<br />

money (either through subscription for ordinary<br />

units in MPT or by a loan) as is required by it to<br />

enable it to repay the principal amount on all of<br />

the MPT Notes;<br />

- pre-emptive rights exist between the unitholders<br />

in MPT in the event that a unitholder in MPT<br />

wishes to sell or defaults under the deed, which<br />

are described in Section 3.5;<br />

- a special committee, comprising a representative<br />

of each unitholder in MPT, will be formed to,<br />

amongst other things:<br />

- review, consider, decide and give directions to<br />

MPT on all proposals and recommendations<br />

from MPT which relate to the acquisition,<br />

disposal, management or development of assets<br />

of the Trust, and strategic matters affecting the<br />

Property and any other assets of MPT;<br />

- monitor the leasing program and capital<br />

expenditure program;<br />

- review breaches by the Property manager of<br />

the terms of its agreement with MPT and to<br />

review any decision to terminate the Property<br />

manager; and<br />

- review, consider, decide and give directions to<br />

the responsible entity of MPT in relation to any<br />

decision concerning the Optus Lease which is<br />

likely to have a material effect on the value of<br />

the Property of greater than $1,000,000.<br />

- Whilst there are three unitholders in MPT, a<br />

resolution of the special committee will be passed<br />

by a majority vote on a show of hands. A poll<br />

cannot be demanded. If there are more than<br />

three unitholders, then a resolution of the special<br />

committee will be passed by a majority vote on a<br />

poll; and<br />

- the Unitholders will not exercise any rights under<br />

the law or the constitution of MPT nor take any<br />

action to, amongst other things:<br />

- sell the Property;<br />

- terminate the Optus Lease; or<br />

- bring about the termination or the winding up<br />

of MPT,<br />

unless consistent with the rights under the<br />

Agreement for Lease and unanimously approved in<br />

writing by the unitholders of MPT.

with Westpac and STML as responsible entity of<br />

<strong>Stockland</strong> Trust as Underwriters of the Offer. Under<br />

the terms of the Underwriting Agreement, the<br />

Underwriters guarantee to SFML that they will<br />

subscribe for any of the 85,867,000 Units that are not<br />

applied for by Investors. The obligations of the<br />

Underwriters are several in that:<br />

Units the subject of the Offer; and<br />

- STML as responsible entity of <strong>Stockland</strong> Trust has<br />

agreed to underwrite the remaining 15% of the<br />

Units the subject of the Offer.<br />

SFML must pay a fee to the Underwriters which<br />

SFML will pay from the establishment fee payable to<br />

SFML by the Trust on Final Allocation (refer to Section<br />

9.1).<br />

SFML must accept all valid Applications provided that<br />

the acceptance of the Applications does not cause<br />

SFML to breach the Constitution.<br />

the Underwriting Agreement if any of the following<br />

events occur:<br />

- an insolvency event occurs in respect of SFML or<br />

the Trust;<br />

- a condition precedent to the underwriting is not<br />

satisfied, including completion of due diligence<br />

procedures, execution of transaction documents<br />

or debt drawdown;<br />

named in the PDS, or ASIC takes regulatory action<br />

in relation to the PDS;<br />

- a PDS in-use notice is not lodged with ASIC by the<br />

SFML or the Trust is amended; or<br />

- there is a material adverse change in the financial<br />

position of SFML or the Trust, or a new law or<br />

policy results in, or could reasonably be expected<br />

to result in, a material adverse change to the<br />

Offer, the PDS or the income tax position of the<br />

Trust.<br />

An Underwriter may terminate its obligations under<br />

the Underwriting Agreement if any of the following<br />

events occur and the Underwriter forms the<br />

reasonable opinion that the event will have a material<br />

adverse effect on the success of the Offer:<br />

- SFML fails to perform its obligations under a<br />

transaction document (as defined in the<br />

agreement), or comply with a clause of its<br />

constitution or the Trust's constitution, the law or<br />

ASIC policy, or an event of default occurs under a<br />

finance document (as defined in the agreement);<br />

substantial part of the assets of SFML or the Trust<br />

Agreement;<br />

settlement or clearance services in Australia, the<br />

United States of America or the United Kingdom,<br />

or trading in all securities quoted or listed on the<br />

Australian Stock Exchange, the London Stock<br />

Exchange or the New York Stock Exchange is<br />

suspended or limited such that it becomes, in the<br />

reasonable opinion of the Underwriter,<br />

impracticable to market the Offer or to enforce<br />

contracts to issue and allot or sell the<br />

underwritten Units;


85<br />

- a representation, warranty or statement by SFML to the Underwriters is or becomes materially untrue or<br />

misleading, or there is a material omission from any information, announcement, advertisement or publicity<br />

in relation to the PDS or the Offer; or<br />

- the forecasts in the PDS are or become incapable of being met or, in the reasonable opinion of the<br />

Underwriter, are unlikely to be met in the forecast time.<br />

to Applicants as soon as practicable.<br />

Compliments and complaints<br />

If Investors are satisfied with the services of the<br />

Responsible Entity or have a complaint, they may<br />

write to <strong>Stockland</strong> Funds Management Limited at the<br />

address shown on the inside back cover of this PDS.<br />

Investors’ complaints will be acknowledged within 14<br />

days of receipt, and investigated with a view to<br />

reporting back to the Investor within 45 days. The<br />

Responsible Entity will attempt to resolve all<br />

complaints within 21 days. The Constitution provides a<br />

framework governing how complaints must be dealt<br />

with. Where a complaint remains unresolved, the<br />

Investor may be entitled to take their complaint to the<br />

Responsible Entity’s external complaints scheme,<br />

Financial Industry Complaints Service (FICS). FICS is<br />

expired, FICS will work with the Investor and the<br />

Responsible Entity to seek a mutually acceptable<br />

resolution of the complaint. To contact FICS, Investors<br />

should telephone 1300 780 808 or write to PO Box<br />

at the discretion of the Responsible Entity. Final<br />

Allocation is anticipated to occur on 27 September<br />

2005 following the close of the Offer. Units may be<br />

allocated progressively during the Offer period so as<br />

to ensure that allocation of Units is no later than one<br />

month from receiving the Application Monies.<br />

Applications will be batched and allocated in a manner<br />

that satisfies any requirement for stamp duty<br />

purposes for a spread of public Investors. If it is not<br />

possible to allocate a Unit within one month from the<br />

date of receipt of the Application Monies, the Units<br />

will be batched and allocated as soon as practicable<br />

after the end of the one month period to ensure that<br />

any requirement for a sufficient spread of Investors is<br />

satisfied.<br />

Form whether or not they are a "foreign person", the<br />

meaning of which is set out in the Foreign Acquisitions<br />

and Takeovers Act 1975 (Cth). If the Applicant is a<br />

foreign person, it may mean their Application will be<br />

rejected. This will depend on the total number of<br />

Applications by foreign persons which in total must be<br />

below 40% of the Units, or for an individual, less than<br />

15% of the Units issued by the Trust.<br />

Privacy<br />

with any of the Parties;<br />

- if the Responsible Entity engages anyone (Service<br />

the Applicant agrees that the Responsible Entity<br />

and the Service Provider may exchange with each<br />

other any information referred to above;<br />

- the Responsible Entity might give any information<br />

referred to above to entities other than the Parties<br />

and the Service Providers where it is required or<br />

allowed by law or where the Applicant has<br />

otherwise consented;

investment in the Trust, and for the administration<br />

of that Applicant's investment, planning, product<br />

development, research purposes, and statistical<br />

analysis; and<br />

Financial Services Guide of Permanent Trustee<br />

Company Limited ("Permanent") ABN 21 000<br />

000 993 (AFS Licence Number 235145) in<br />

relation to the offer of Units in <strong>Stockland</strong> Direct<br />

Office Trust No. 2 under the <strong>Product</strong> <strong>Disclosure</strong><br />

<strong>Statement</strong> ("PDS") issued by <strong>Stockland</strong> Funds<br />

Management Limited ("<strong>Stockland</strong>").<br />

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this FSG<br />

have the same meaning as in the PDS.<br />

What is the purpose of this Financial Services<br />

Guide ("FSG")<br />

It is to provide information about Permanent in its<br />

capacity as the Security Trustee (as referred to in the<br />

PDS), the role and remuneration of the Security<br />

Trustee and its representatives in the context of the<br />

offer of Units, so that you may take these into<br />

account when you make your decision whether or<br />

not to participate in the offer of Units which<br />

involves the provision of financial services by the<br />

Security Trustee. This FSG also provides<br />

information about what to do if you have a<br />

complaint against the Security Trustee.<br />

Who is the Security Trustee in relation to the<br />

Units<br />

Permanent is the Security Trustee. Permanent,<br />

established in 1887, is a wholly owned subsidiary of<br />

Trust Company of Australia Limited, a publicly<br />

listed company established in 1885 ("Trust").<br />

Permanent holds its own Australian Financial<br />

Services Licence ("AFS licence") authorising the<br />

provision of financial services.<br />

The FSG has been prepared by, and is the<br />

responsibility of, the Security Trustee. The Security<br />

Trustee is neither responsible nor liable for any part<br />

of the PDS.<br />

What financial services will the Security Trustee<br />

provide to Investors in relation to the Units <br />

Following payment of the First Instalment on<br />

Application, Investors will receive Instalment<br />

Receipts which they will hold until the Final<br />

Instalment is paid, though they can transfer or sell<br />

their Instalment Receipts (and hence their interest in<br />

the underlying Units) prior to the Final Instalment<br />

Payment Date. While the Final Instalment remains<br />

unpaid, legal title to the Units will be held by the<br />

Security Trustee.<br />

What is the relationship between the Security<br />

Trustee and <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

Permanent and <strong>Stockland</strong> are not members of the<br />

same group of companies and are not related in any<br />

way.<br />

How is the Security Trustee remunerated for the<br />

services it provides as Security Trustee<br />

Permanent will receive from <strong>Stockland</strong> a fee of<br />

$8,000 per annum (excluding GST) which is payable<br />

by quarterly instalments with the first payment to be<br />

made on or about 31 December 2005. This annual<br />

fee may be varied by agreement with <strong>Stockland</strong><br />

from time to time.<br />

Our Staff<br />

Our staff are salaried employees of Permanent.<br />

When they provide you with services on our behalf,<br />

they do not get any payments, commission or other<br />

benefits directly from the services provided. Some<br />

employees may periodically be entitled to bonuses<br />

or non-monetary benefits, based on their own<br />

performance and/or the performance of their<br />

business unit as a whole. Various factors are taken<br />

into account when assessing such performance,<br />

including the total value of assets invested through<br />

advisory services that we provide and an individual<br />

adviser's contribution towards this. Non-monetary<br />

benefits typically involve attendance at conventions<br />

and conferences.<br />
