IMPORTANT NOTICE

The past performance of CapitaLand Mall Trust ("CMT") and CapitaLand Mall Trust Management Limited (as manager of CMT) (the "CMT Manager") is not indicative of their respective future performances. The listing of the units of CMT (the "CMT Units") on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the "SGX-ST") does not guarantee a liquid market for the CMT Units. The value of the CMT Units and the income derived from them may fall as well as rise. The CMT Units are not obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed by, the CMT Manager or any of its affiliates. An investment in the CMT Units is subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Investors have no right to request the CMT Manager to redeem their CMT Units while the CMT Units are listed. It is intended that CMT Unitholders may only deal in their CMT Units through trading on the SGX-ST.

This announcement is for information only and does not constitute an invitation or offer to acquire, purchase or subscribe for CMT Units.

This announcement may contain forward-looking statements that involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risks, uncertainties 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 other developments or companies, shifts in expected levels of occupancy rate, property rental income, charge out collections, changes in operating expenses (including employee wages, benefits and training costs), governmental and public policy changes and the continued availability of financing in the amounts and the terms necessary to support future business. Neither CMT nor the CMT Manager undertakes any obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statements.
