Our principal Subsidiary entities are described below:<br />

Dundee LP<br />

Dundee LP is our principal Subsidiary and the vehicle through which we make investments. It is an<br />

exempt limited partnership formed under the laws of the Cayman Islands. Dundee LP is authorized to<br />

issue an unlimited number of LP Units. The general partner of Dundee LP, a corporation governed by the<br />

laws of the Cayman Islands, is a wholly-owned Subsidiary of the REIT. Subject to the provisions of the<br />

Dundee LP Agreement, the general partner of Dundee LP has all necessary powers to manage, control<br />

and operate the activities and affairs of Dundee LP and to do or cause to be done any and all acts<br />

necessary, appropriate, convenient or incidental thereto. Dundee LP may be dissolved or terminated only<br />

with the unanimous written consent of the general partner and the REIT.<br />

Dundee Lux Holdco<br />

Dundee Lux Holdco is a limited liability company established under the laws of Luxembourg. It is the<br />

primary holding company through which we make investments in Europe. Subject to the provisions of its<br />

constating documents, the managers of Dundee Lux Holdco have all necessary powers to manage, control<br />

and operate the activities of Dundee Lux Holdco.<br />

The Dundee FCPs<br />

Our indirect interest in the Initial Properties is held through the Dundee FCPs. FCPs (fonds commun de<br />

placement) are undertakings for collective investment organized as mutual investment funds under the<br />

provisions of the 2010 Act. FCPs do not have a legal personality. FCPs in Luxembourg are not subject to<br />

any taxes other than a tax of 0.05% per annum of their net asset value (taxe d’abonnement). There is<br />

generally no withholding tax on distributions made by FCPs to their unitholders.<br />

Under the contractual arrangement, FCPs are represented and managed by a management company,<br />

acting in its own name but for the account of the relevant FCP, that is required to always act in the<br />

exclusive interests of the FCP’s unitholders pursuant to the FCP’s prospectus for private placement and<br />

its management regulations.<br />

FCPs are required to maintain a minimum net asset value of at least €1.25 million and are subject to the<br />

approval and ongoing supervision of the CSSF. FCPs are also required to designate a custodian bank,<br />

which must be a bank located in Luxembourg, or a Luxembourg branch of a bank with its registered<br />

office in another EEA member state, to safe keep the assets or securities of the FCPs. In addition, the<br />

management company may appoint a Luxembourg-based central administration agent to calculate the net<br />

asset value of the FCP, to maintain FCP’s accounts, effect subscriptions, redemptions, deposits and<br />

withdrawals and manage other FCP transactions.<br />

The Dundee FCPs were established with an initial term of 10 years, subject to renewal. Lorac acts as<br />

management company of the Dundee FCPs. Each of the Dundee FCP Unitholders holds all of the FCP<br />

Units of one of the Dundee FCPs.<br />

In accordance with the restrictions contained in each Dundee FCP’s prospectus for private placement, the<br />

Dundee FCPs will not acquire any real estate properties other than the Initial Properties unless such<br />

acquisition is of a real estate property that is related to an existing Initial Property. Furthermore, the<br />

Dundee FCPs cannot engage in any business or trade activity, such as construction and development of a<br />

real estate property, unless such construction or development is a repositioning of the Initial Properties.<br />
