To ascertain the preference of Unitholders with respect to the election of language and means of receipt of future Corporate Communication, the following arrangements will be made by Fortune REIT in accordance with Rules 2.07A and 2.07B of the Hong Kong Listing Rules, as if they were applicable to real estate investment trusts authorised by the Securities and Futures Commission:
(1) On or about 13 January 2012, Fortune REIT will send a letter (the "First Letter") together with a reply form (the "Reply Form") and a postage pre-paid envelope, in both English and Chinese, to Unitholders to enable them to elect any one of the following options for receipt of future Corporate Communication:

(iv) the electronic version posted on Fortune REIT's website at www.fortunereit.com(the "Website Version") in place of receiving printed copies, and to receive a printed notification letter when Corporate Communication is published on Fortune REIT's website.

If a Unitholder's duly completed and signed Reply Form is not received by Fortune REIT on or before 10 February 2012, such Unitholder will be deemed to have consented to Website Version only. A printed notification letter will be sent to such Unitholder by post after the relevant Corporate Communication is published on Fortune REIT's website.

(2) For Unitholders who choose to receive the future Corporate Communication in printed form, Fortune REIT will send the selected language version(s) of the Corporate Communication to those Unitholders who have made a language selection unless and until they notify the Unit Registrar by reasonable prior notice in writing or by email to fortunereit.ecom@computershare.com.hk, that they wish to receive future Corporate Communication in the other language or both languages, or by electronic means through Fortune REIT's website.
(3) As and when each printed future Corporate Communication is sent out in accordance with the arrangements described above, a letter (the "Second Letter"), together with a request form (the "Request Form") and a postage pre-paid envelope, in both English and Chinese, will be attached to the relevant Corporate Communication, specifying that the Corporate Communication prepared in the other language will be available upon request, and that the Unitholders may at any time by reasonable notice in writing by completing and returning the Request Form to the Unit Registrar or sending a notice by email to fortunereit.ecom@computershare.com.hkchange their choice of means of receipt and/or language of future Corporate Communication.
