ANNOUNCEMENT - UNIT PRICE MOVEMENT

The Board of Directors of Bowsprit Capital Corporation Limited, in its capacity as manager of First Real Estate Investment Trust ("First REIT", and as manager of First REIT, the "Manager") has noted the recent volatility in the unit price of First REIT.

The Manager is not aware of any material information which has not previously been announced or otherwise made known in the public domain from any source that could have caused the volatility in the unit price of First REIT.

For the avoidance of doubt, in line with its acquisition growth strategy, the Manager is continuously reviewing potential acquisition opportunities as well as the potential means of funding these acquisitions. In the course of such review, the Manager may from time to time enter into discussions with vendors for potential acquisition opportunities and consider equity fund raising options to fund such acquisitions. There is no certainty that any such discussions may materialise and no agreement has been entered into by the Manager in respect of any such potential opportunities. If and when there is any material development, the Manager will release a further announcement in compliance with the listing rules of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited.

Unitholders and investors are therefore advised to exercise caution when dealing in their units and to refrain from taking any action in respect of their units which may be prejudicial to their interests.

By Order of the Board

Tan Kok Mian Victor

Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer Bowsprit Capital Corporation Limited

(As manager of First REIT)

(Company registration no. 200607070D)
