SINGAPORE, 17 MAY 2019

Frasers Centrepoint Asset Management Ltd. ("FCAM" or the "Manager"), the manager of Frasers Centrepoint Trust ("FCT"), refers to the announcement dated 16 May 2019 on the launch of the equity fund raising through offering of new units in FCT (the "Units" and new Units, the "New Units") to raise gross proceeds by way of private placement (the "Private Placement") and a pro rata and non-renounceable preferential offering, and is pleased to announce the successful completion of the Private Placement.

The Private Placement, which drew strong demand from new and existing institutional and other accredited investors, was approximately 2.3 times subscribed at the top end of the Private Placement issue price range of between S$2.30 and S$2.382 per New Unit. The Private Placement issue price of S$2.382 represents a discount of 1.5% to the adjusted volume-weighted average price ("Adjusted VWAP1") of S$2.4189 per Unit.

The upsize option has been exercised in full. With the exercise of the upsize option, a total of 155,181,800 New Units will be issued pursuant to the Private Placement, increasing the aggregate gross proceeds raised to approximately S$369.6 million.

Dr Chew Tuan Chiong, CEO of FCAM, said, "We are delighted with the excellent outcome of this Private Placement, raising more than 16% of our market capitalisation in proceeds, while achieving a tight discount of 1.5% to the adjusted VWAP amidst the market volatilities and ongoing geopolitical trade tensions. We are grateful to our unitholders and investors for their strong support and their confidence in us. This is a strong endorsement of FCT's track record in delivering steady growing DPU and its growth strategy."

The Manager intends to deploy part of the gross proceeds from the Private Placement to finance all or part of the acquisition of the one-third interest in Waterway Point announced on 16 May 20192 and to pare down the bridging loans used for the acquisition of the 18.8% stake in PGIM Real Estate AsiaRetail Fund Limited3.

This press release is to be read in conjunction with the announcement "RESULTS OF THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND PRICING OF NEW UNITS UNDER THE PRIVATE PLACEMENT AND PREFERENTIAL OFFERING", dated 17 May 2019, available on FCT's website at https://www.frasersproperty.com/reits/fct.

END

1"The "Adjusted VWAP" is computed based on the VWAP of all trades in the Units on the SGX-ST for the preceding Market Day on 15 May 2019, up to the time the Underwriting Agreement was signed on 16 May 2019 and subtracting the estimated Advanced Distribution of approximately 1.89 Singapore cents per Unit. This amount is only an estimate based on information currently available to the Manager and the actual Advanced Distribution may differ and will be announced at a later date.
