Proposed Merger with ESR-REIT

25 February 2022

IMPORTANT NOTICE

This presentation shall be read in conjunction with the revised scheme document (the "Revised Scheme Document") dated 25 February 2022 in relation to the proposed merger of ESR-REIT and ARA LOGOS Logistics Trust ("ALOG") by way of a trust scheme of arrangement.

NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, IN, INTO OR FROM ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OF THAT JURISDICTION. THIS PRESENTATION SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN OFFER TO SELL OR A SOLICITATION OF AN OFFER TO BUY SECURITIES IN ANY JURISDICTION, INCLUDING IN THE UNITED STATES OR ELSEWHERE.

The value of units in ALOG ("Units") and the income derived from them, if any, may fall as well as rise. Units are not investments or deposits in, or liabilities or obligations, of ARA LOGOS Logistics Trust Management Limited ("Manager"), HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited (in its capacity as trustee of ALOG) ("Trustee"), or any of their respective related corporations and affiliates (individually and collectively "Affiliates"). An investment in Units is subject to investment risks, including the possible delays in repayment and loss of income or the principal amount invested. Neither ALOG, the Manager, the Trustee nor any of the Affiliates guarantees the repayment of any principal amount invested, the performance of ALOG, any particular rate of return from investing in ALOG, or any taxation consequences of an investment in ALOG. The past performance of ALOG and the Manager is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of ALOG and the Manager.

Investors have no right to request that the Manager redeem or purchase their Units while the Units are listed. It is intended that investors may only deal in their Units through trading on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the "SGX-ST"). Listing of the Units on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units.

This presentation may contain forward-looking statements, including forward-looking financial information, that involve assumptions, known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements as a result of such assumptions, known and unknown risks and assumptions. Representative examples of these factors include (without limitation) general industry and economic conditions, interest rate trends, cost of capital and capital availability, competition from similar developments, shifts in expected levels of occupancy or property rental income, changes in operating expenses, including employee wages, benefits and training, property expenses, governmental and public policy changes and the continued availability of financing in amounts and on terms necessary to support ALOG's future business. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on the Manager's current view of future events. No assurance can be given that future events will occur, that projections will be achieved, or that assumptions are correct. The Manager does not assume any responsibility to amend, modify, or revise any forward-looking statements, on the basis of any subsequent developments, information or events, or otherwise, subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and/or the rules of the SGX-ST and/or any other regulatory or supervisory body or agency.

This presentation is for informational purposes only and does not have regard to your specific investment objectives, financial situation or your particular needs. Any information contained in this material is not to be construed as legal, business, investment tax or financial advice and does not constitute or form part of an offer, solicitation, recommendation or invitation for the sale or purchase or subscription of, or investment in, securities in ALOG or any investment or product of or to subscribe to any services offered by the Manager, the Trustee or any of the Affiliates. No part of it nor the fact of its presentation shall form the basis or be relied upon in connection with any investment decision, contract or commitment whatsoever.
