strengthen supply chain resilience where cross-geographical networks have become even more critical. With their strategic locations and high specifications, these properties are well-placed to meet the rising demand for modern warehouse space."

About the Properties

The Properties are high-quality logistics facilities built to Grade A specifications, including strong floor load, high ceilings, large floor plates and ramp access for the multi-storey properties. In addition, the majority of the PRC Properties have cross-docking features that enable fast movements of goods. With their modular design and high specifications, the Properties cater to the modern requirements of third-party logistics firms and e-commerce tenants.

The Properties are located in the key logistics hubs of China, Malaysia and Vietnam with excellent connectivity to transport infrastructure such as highways, railway stations, air and sea ports, as well as large population catchments. Proximity to large population catchments is an increasing priority for tenants, especially the e-commerce players, as it translates to operational and cost efficiencies.

Rationale and Benefits of the Acquisitions

China, Malaysia and Vietnam are attractive logistics markets underpinned by favourable demand- supply dynamics. Increasing urbanisation coupled with a growing middle class is expected to support rising consumption levels, which translates to higher demand for modern logistics space. In addition, there is a scarcity of modern Grade A warehouses in these markets, thus enabling them to command a rent premium averaging 20% over traditional warehouses2.

The COVID-19 pandemic has also accelerated several pre-existing structural trends benefitting the logistics market. Notably, higher e-commerce adoption and a greater emphasis on supply chain resiliency have translated to a growing demand for modern logistics facilities. The Acquisitions will enable MLT to capture these growth opportunities and enhance its portfolio returns.

The Acquisitions will increase MLT's scale as well as strengthen its network effect and competitive positioning. Post-Acquisitions, MLT's regional footprint will expand to 51 cities in eight geographic markets with access to an aggregate population base of over 150 million people. With a growing presence and network in Asia Pacific, MLT is able to offer customers a variety of leasing options in

multiple cities to meet their expansion plans. Post-Acquisitions, tenants who are leasing space in more than one location will account for 42% of MLT's gross revenue.

The Properties have a committed occupancy of 94.7%3 with weighted average lease expiry (by net lettable area) of 2.3 years4. They are leased to a strong and diversified tenant base comprising primarily tenants serving the domestic consumer markets, which account for approximately 91% of the Properties' revenue base5. Key tenants include leading e-commerce players such as JD.com and Cainiao, international logistics companies like Maersk and Kuehne + Nagel, as well as strong consumer brands like Decathlon. In aggregate, e-commerce/e-fulfilment tenants account for approximately 58% of the Properties' gross revenue.

The aggregate Agreed Property Value of the Properties is S$1,498.9 million6, representing a discount of approximately 1.7% and 0.9% to the valuations by the independent property valuers appointed by HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited (as trustee of MLT) and the Manager respectively. The total acquisition cost, including total acquisition price of S$1,067.4 million and acquisition-related expenses, is estimated to be approximately S$1,090.2 million. The Acquisitions are expected to be DPU and NAV per Unit accretive.

To demonstrate its continued commitment to MLT, the Sponsor has agreed to receive consideration units in satisfaction of part of the acquisition price for the PRC Properties.

Funding for the Acquisitions

The Manager intends to finance the proposed Acquisitions via a combination of equity (including the issuance of consideration units) and debt. The final funding structure will be decided by the Manager at the appropriate time taking into account the then prevailing market conditions to provide overall DPU accretion to Unitholders on a pro forma basis while maintaining an optimum level of aggregate leverage.
