This Proposed Acquisition, coupled with the proposed acquisition of 66 Goulburn Street in Sydney CBD and 100 Arthur Street in North Sydney CBD announced by CICTML on 3 December 2021, have a total property value of approximately A$1.1 billion7 (S$1.1 billion). This accounts for approximately 5% of CICT's pro forma portfolio property value. The three Sydney assets are expected to provide a pro forma annualised combined 1H 2021 DPU accretion of 2.8%8.

Mr Tony Tan, CEO of CICTML, said: "We are pleased to acquire a 50.0% interest in 101 Miller Street and Greenwood Plaza, which is one of the most prominent integrated developments with a Premium Grade office tower and high quality retail in North Sydney CBD. The Proposed Acquisition marks another step forward in CICT's portfolio reconstitution journey to drive sustainable growth and diversify income sources through accretive acquisitions and recycling capital to higher yielding assets. It will strategically augment our presence in Sydney, where we have embarked on acquiring 66 Goulburn Street and 100 Arthur Street. The total investment of approximately A$1.1 billion (S$1.1 billion) in the three Sydney properties will provide CICT with a new engine of growth in a developed market with strong fundamentals, and the potential to ride on the city's gradual recovery and rejuvenation in the mid to long term."

"CICT's Singapore assets account for approximately 91% of its total portfolio property value. Given CICT's predominant focus on Singapore, we will continue to seek growth opportunities within this home market. Post-Proposed Acquisition, and after the purchase of 66 Goulburn Street and 100 Arthur Street in Sydney, CICT's aggregate overseas portfolio exposure in Sydney, Australia and Frankfurt, Germany will stand at approximately 9%, well within our guidance of an overseas exposure to be no more than 20%."

101 Miller Street and Greenwood Plaza have a committed occupancy of 94.9% as at 20 October 2021. Building occupants include high quality tenants from the government, financial services and insurance sectors. The property is strategically located in the heart of the CBD, which is set to benefit from the urban renewal plans to rejuvenate North Sydney. It boasts excellent connectivity, with a seamless link to the North Sydney train station via Greenwood Plaza.

The 28-storey office component of 101 Miller Street has attained strong green credentials, namely 5-Star NABERS Energy, 4.5-Star NABERS Water and 5-Star Green Star ratings, with energy-saving features such as double-glazed windows. Offering large and efficient floor plates of up to 1,500 square metres in size, the office building boasts panoramic views of the Sydney CBD, Harbour Bridge and Opera House. It is also well-equipped with amenities that promote the physical and mental well-being of building occupants such as end of trip facilities, café and integration with Greenwood Plaza.

Prudent capital management

The Proposed Acquisition of 101 Miller Street and Greenwood Plaza and the proposed acquisition of 66 Goulburn Street and 100 Arthur Street announced by CICTML on 3 December 2021 will be funded by a combination of debt of approximately 50% loan-to-value, net sales proceeds from the divestment of 50.0% interest in One George Street and net proceeds from the private placement closed on 8 December 2021. The debt is expected to be partially funded by Australian-dollar denominated loans to achieve natural hedging. Post

acquisitions of the three Australian properties, CICT's pro forma aggregate leverage will be

about 41%.
