NOTICE OF CUMULATIVE DISTRIBUTION RECORD DATE

Capitalised terms used herein, but not otherwise defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the announcement of Mapletree Logistics Trust dated 30 March 2023 titled "Launch of Equity Fund Raising By Way of a Private Placement to Raise Gross Proceeds of Approximately S$200.0 million" (the "Launch Announcement").

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that pursuant to the Private Placement (as defined herein), the Transfer Books and Register of Unitholders of Mapletree Logistics Trust ("MLT") will be closed at 5.00 p.m. on Monday, 10 April 2023 for the purpose of determining the entitlement of Unitholders to a cumulative distribution of approximately between 2.40 Singapore cents and 2.60 Singapore cents for the period from 1 January 2023 to the day immediately prior to the date on which the New Units are issued pursuant to the Private Placement (the "Cumulative Distribution") (the record date of the Cumulative Distribution, the "Cumulative Distribution Record Date").

It was announced on 30 March 2023 that the Manager is proposing an equity fund raising of New Units by way of a private placement of between 121,285,000 and 124,223,000 New Units at an issue price of between S$1.610 and S$1.649 per New Unit (both figures inclusive) to raise gross proceeds of approximately S$200.0 million (the "Private Placement").

The Cumulative Distribution Record Date is subject to change, at the discretion of the Manager, in consultation with Citigroup Global Markets Singapore Pte. Ltd., DBS Bank Ltd., The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, Singapore Branch and UBS AG, Singapore Branch (collectively, the "Joint Global Co-ordinators and Bookrunners") as the Joint Global Co-ordinators and Bookrunners in relation to the Private Placement, subject to compliance with all applicable laws and regulations (including but not limited to the requirements of the SGX-ST). In the event of any such change, the Manager will announce such new Cumulative Distribution Record Date and/or any other dates in relation to the Private Placement on SGXNET.

The Cumulative Distribution

The quantum of distribution per unit in MLT ("Unit") under the Cumulative Distribution is currently estimated to be between 2.40 Singapore cents to 2.60 Singapore cents1. A further announcement on the actual quantum of distribution per Unit (which may differ from the estimate above) under the Cumulative Distribution will be made by the Manager in due course.

1

This range is an estimate only based on information currently available to the Manager and the Manager's estimate of MLT's revenue and expenses for the relevant period on a pro rata basis and the actual Cumulative Distribution may differ. The actual quantum of the distribution will be announced on a later date after the closure of the Transfer Books and Register of Unitholders.

The next distribution following the Cumulative Distribution will comprise MLT's distributable income for the period from the day the New Units are issued pursuant to the Private Placement, currently expected to be on Tuesday, 11 April 2023, to 30 June 2023. Quarterly distributions will resume thereafter.

Unitholders whose securities accounts with The Central Depository (Pte) Limited are credited with Units as at 5.00 p.m. on the Cumulative Distribution Record Date will be entitled to the Cumulative Distribution that will be paid on or around Monday, 22 May 2023.

The Cumulative Distribution is intended to ensure that the distributable income accrued by MLT from 1 January 2023 up to the day immediately preceding the date of issue of the New Units pursuant to the Private Placement (which at this point, will be entirely attributable to the Units in issue on the day immediately prior to the date on which the New Units pursuant to the Private Placement are issued (the "Existing Units")) is only distributed in respect of the Existing Units, and is being proposed as a means to ensure fairness to holders of the Existing Units.

Status of New Units issued pursuant to the Private Placement

The New Units issued pursuant to the Private Placement will, upon issue, rank pari passu in all respects with the Existing Units, other than in respect of the Cumulative Distribution.

For the avoidance of doubt, the holders of the New Units to be issued pursuant to the Private Placement will not be entitled to any distributable income accrued by MLT up to the day immediately preceding the date of issue of the New Units pursuant to the Private Placement (including the Cumulative Distribution).
