Asset Acquisitions And Disposals :: Termination Of Conditional Sale And Purchase Agreement For Yogyakarta Property

(Constituted in the Republic of Singapore pursuant to A trust deed dated 19 October 2006 (as amended))

ANNOUNCEMENT TERMINATION OF CONDITIONAL SALE AND PURCHASE AGREEMENT FOR YOGYAKARTA PROPERTY

Further to the announcements dated 3 February 2016 and 15 June 2016 (the "Announcements") in relation to the proposed joint venture and joint acquisition by First Real Estate Investment Trust ("First REIT") and Lippo Malls Indonesia Retail Trust ("LMIR Trust") of the integrated development comprising a hospital component known as "Siloam Hospitals Yogyakarta" ("SHYG") and a retail mall component known as Lippo Plaza Jogja ("LPJ" together with SHYG, the "Yogyakarta Property"), Bowsprit Capital Corporation Limited, in its capacity as manager of First REIT (the "Manager"), wishes to announce that Icon1 Holdings Pte. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of First REIT ("First REIT SingCo"), and Icon2 Investments Pte. Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of LMIR Trust ("LMIRT SingCo"), have decided to mutually terminate the conditional sale and purchase agreement ("Property CSPA") which was entered into on 3 February 2016 with PT Mulia Citra Abadi (the "Vendor") for the acquisition of the Yogyakarta Property. First REIT SingCo and LMIRT SingCo have also mutually terminated the joint venture agreement ("JVA") entered into on 3 February 2016 with each other in connection with the joint acquisition of the Yogyakarta Property.

The parties have decided to terminate the Property CSPA and JVA to provide more time for the Vendor to obtain the relevant licenses for the operation of SHYG as well as to carry out asset enhancement works to LPJ. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties intend to continue with the transaction on mutually agreeable terms after the commencement of operations of SHYG upon approval of all relevant licenses (expected to be in the later part of 2017) and after the asset enhancement works. Notwithstanding the termination of the Property CSPA, First REIT and LMIR Trust each continues to have a right of first refusal ("ROFR") from PT. Lippo Karawaci Tbk (as the sponsor of both First REIT and LMIR Trust, the "Sponsor") over SHYG and LPJ respectively, provided that the conditions for the Sponsor's grant of the ROFRs continue to be met.

The termination of the Property CSPA and the JVA is not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated net tangible assets and distributions per unit of First REIT for the current financial year ending 31 December 2017.

Save as disclosed in the Announcements and the announcements dated 3 February 2016 and 15 June 2016 by LMIR Trust, none of the directors of the Manager or substantial unitholders of First REIT has any interest, direct or indirect, in the termination of the Property CSPA and JVA.
