Reference is made to (i) the circular of Fortune REIT dated 28 December 2011 (the
"Circular") and (ii) the notice of extraordinary general meeting of Fortune REIT dated 28
December 2011 (the "Notice of EGM"). Unless the context requires otherwise, terms used in this announcement shall have the same meaning as those defined in the Circular.
At the EGM, the resolution (as set out in the Notice of EGM) to approve: (a) the Transaction (including the Acquisition and the other transactions contemplated under, associated with and/or related to the Transaction) and the takeover of the Related Tenancy and Licence Agreements in relation to the New Properties at Completion; and (b) the 2011 Continuing Connected Party Transactions together with the proposed new annual monetary limits for the financial years ending 31 December 2012, 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2014 (the "EGM Resolution") was proposed and decided on by way of poll as an ordinary resolution.

Cheung Kong, HWL and ARA (being the holding company of the Manager) abstained, and procured that each member of the CKH Group, the HWL Group and the Manager Group respectively and their respective associates abstained, from voting on the EGM Resolution.

In connection with the EGM Resolution, the Manager applied for a waiver from strict compliance with the requirements under Chapter 8 of the REIT Code in respect of the 2011

CKH/Manager CPT Waiver, the details of which (including the conditions thereto) are described below.

Waiver in relation to certain continuing connected party transactions with the CKH Group and the Manager Group under Chapter 8 of the REIT Code

Existing CKH/Manager CPT Waiver

The SFC has granted a waiver from strict compliance with the disclosure and unitholders' approval requirements (the "Existing CKH/Manager CPT Waiver") under Chapter 8 of the REIT Code in respect of certain continuing connected party transactions between the Fortune REIT Group and (a) the CKH Group and/or (b) the Manager Group as set out in SFC's letter of authorization dated 30 March 2010 for a period to expire on 31 December 2012.

2011 CKH/Manager CPT Waiver

Upon Completion, more continuing connected party transactions are assumed to arise and the scale of continuing connected party transactions with the CKH Group and/or the Manager Group will increase. In this regard, the Board has proposed a 2011 Continuing Connected Party Transactions waiver package (the "2011 CKH/Manager CPT Waiver") to:
(i) take into account the new and/or additional continuing connected party transactions that will arise as a result of the Acquisition; and
(ii) replace the Existing CKH/Manager CPT Waiver so that the waiver period will commence afresh as from the date of Completion and continue until 31 December 2014.
The Manager has confirmed that the categories of continuing connected party transactions with respect to which the 2011 CKH/Manager CPT Waiver is sought are the same as the Existing Continuing Connected Party Transactions in respect of which the Existing CKH/Manager CPT Waiver was granted.
Based on the waiver applications and submission made to the SFC, the SFC has granted
(subject to the conditions further described below) the 2011 CKH/Manager CPT Waiver on
19 January 2012 for the 2011 Continuing Connected Party Transactions.

Conditions of the 2011 CKH/Manager CPT Waiver

Pursuant to the 2011 CKH/Manager CPT Waiver, the 2011 Continuing Connected Party Transactions are exempt from strict compliance with the disclosure and Unitholders' approval requirements under Chapter 8 of the REIT Code, subject to the following terms and conditions:
(a) The due approval by Unitholders and adoption of the EGM Resolution as set out in the Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting dated 28 December 2011, without material amendments thereto and Completion.
(b) The 2011 CKH/Manager CPT Waiver will supersede the Existing CKH/Manager CPT Waiver and will commence as from the date of Completion and continues until 31
December 2014 ("Initial CPT Waiver Period").
(c) The 2011 CKH/Manager CPT Waiver may be extended beyond the Initial CPT Waiver Period, and/or the conditions of the 2011 CKH/Manager CPT Waiver may be modified from time to time, provided that:
(i) the due approval of Unitholders other than those who have a material interest in the relevant transactions, within the meaning of paragraph 8.11 of the REIT Code (the "Independent Unitholders") is obtained by way of an ordinary resolution passed in a general meeting of Unitholders;
(ii) disclosure of details of the proposed extension and/or amendment (as the case may be) will be made by way of an announcement by the Manager of such proposal, and a circular and notice will be issued to Unitholders in accordance with Chapter 10 of the REIT Code; and

3

(iii) any extension of the period of the 2011 CKH/Manager CPT Waiver shall, on each occasion of such extension, be for a period which will expire not later than the third full financial year-end date of Fortune REIT after the date on which the approval referred to in (i) above is obtained.

governing the transactions; and

The independent non-executive Directors of the Manager will review the 2011

(i) in the ordinary and usual course of business of Fortune REIT;
(ii) on normal commercial terms (to the extent that there are comparable transactions) or, where there are not sufficient comparable transactions to judge whether they are on normal commercial terms, on terms no less favourable to Fortune REIT than terms available to or from (as appropriate) independent third parties; and
(iii) in accordance with the relevant agreement and the Manager's internal procedures governing them (if any) on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the independent Unitholders, as well as the Unitholders, as a whole.

The Manager shall allow, and shall procure the counterparty to the relevant continuing connected party transactions to allow, the auditors of Fortune REIT sufficient access to their records for the purpose of reporting on the transactions.
(i) Notification to the SFC
The Manager will promptly notify the SFC and publish an announcement if it knows or has reason to believe that the auditors and/or the independent non-executive Directors will not be able to confirm the matters set out in paragraph (f) and (g) above.
(j) Subsequent increases in annual caps with independent Unitholders' approval
It may become necessary from time to time in the future for the Manager to seek to increase one or more of the annual cap amounts. This may be due to, for example, further asset acquisitions by Fortune REIT thereby increasing the scale of its operations generally, or changes in market or operating conditions. An increase in any or all of such annual cap amounts is permitted, provided that:
(i) the approval of independent Unitholders is obtained by way of an ordinary resolution passed in a general meeting of Unitholders;

5

(ii) disclosure of details of the proposal to increase the relevant cap amount(s) will be made by way of an announcement by the Manager of such proposal, and a circular and notice will be issued to Unitholders in accordance with Chapter 10 of the REIT Code; and
(iii) all the waiver terms and conditions described above shall continue to apply to the relevant transactions, save that the relevant increased annual cap amount(s) will apply.
(k) Paragraph 8.14 of the REIT Code
The Manager will comply with all requirements under paragraph 8.14 of the REIT Code where there is any material change to the terms of the relevant connected party transactions or where there is any subsequent change to the REIT Code which may impose stricter requirements in respect of disclosure and/or Unitholders' approval.
Details of the 2011 Continuing Connected Party Transactions will be disclosed in the interim and annual report of Fortune REIT in the relevant financial year as required under paragraph 8.14 of the REIT Code. The independent non-executive directors will review the 2011 Continuing Connected Party Transactions annually and confirm whether such transactions are carried out in the ordinary and usual course of business of Fortune REIT based on normal commercial terms and in accordance with the relevant agreement governing them on terms that are fair and reasonable and in the interests of the Unitholders.

Submission in relation to the use of special purposes vehicles under paragraph 7.5(d) of the

REIT Code

For the purposes of acquiring the Belvedere Garden (Substantial Portion) Property in the manner that it has historically been held, and for facilitating future group reorganisation and disposal of property interests through ultimate or intermediate holding companies to achieve savings in transaction costs, submission has been made to the SFC for the use of four layers of special purpose vehicles by Fortune REIT in respect of the Belvedere Garden (Substantial Portion) Property post-Completion.
