ANNOUNCEMENT

NOTICE OF RECORD DATE AND DISTRIBUTION PAYMENT DATE

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Transfer Books and Register of unitholders of Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust ("MNACT" and the unitholders of MNACT, "Unitholders") will be closed at 5.00pm on Wednesday, 27 April 2022 (the "Record Date") for the purpose of determining Unitholders' entitlement of MNACT's distribution. MNACT has announced distribution of 3.393 cents (SGD) per unit in MNACT for the period from 1 October 2021 to 31 March 2022 (the "2H FY21/22 Distribution").

Unitholders, whose securities accounts with The Central Depository (Pte) Limited are credited with units in MNACT ("Units") as at 5.00pm on 27 April 2022, will be entitled to the 2H FY21/22 Distribution that will be paid on Thursday, 19 May 2022.

The 2H FY21/22 Distribution will comprise two components:

  • (a) distribution out of tax-exempt income (the "tax-exempt income component") of 1.583 cents (SGD); and

  • (b) distribution out of capital (the "capital component") of 1.810 cents (SGD).

The tax-exempt income component of the 2H FY21/22 Distribution is exempt from tax in the hands of all Unitholders. No tax will be deducted at source from this component.

The capital component of the 2H FY21/22 Distribution represents a return of capital to Unitholders for Singapore income tax purposes and is therefore not subject to Singapore income tax. For Unitholders who hold the Units as trading assets, the amount of capital distribution will be applied to reduce the cost base of their Units for the purpose of calculating the amount of taxable trading gains arising from the disposal of the Units.

Suspension of Distribution Reinvestment Plan

The Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("DRP") will be suspended from and including the 2H FY21/22 Distribution onwards. Unitholders will receive their 2H FY21/22 Distribution in cash. Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust Management Ltd., as manager (the "MNACT Manager") of MNACT, will notify Unitholders accordingly if and when the DRP is re-applied.
