MAPLETREE NORTH ASIA COMMERCIAL TRUST UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS FOR THE HALF YEAR FROM 1 APRIL 2021 TO 30 SEPTEMBER 2021 AND DISTRIBUTION ANNOUNCEMENT

Introduction (continued)

MNACT's distribution policy is to distribute at least 90.0% of its distributable income on a quarterly basis. Following the amendments to Rule 705 of the Listing Manual of the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited on the quarterly reporting framework which took effect from 7 February 2020, MNACT has announced financial statements on a half-yearly basis with effect from the financial year from 1 April 2020 to 31 March 2021 ("FY20/21"). Consequently, MNACT has also amended its distribution policy to make distributions on a half-yearly basis.

Notwithstanding the above, the Manager will continue its proactive engagement with unitholders through various communication channels, including providing relevant and material updates between the announcements of half-yearly financial statements, through SGX announcements.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("DRP")

As part of the Manager's proactive capital management efforts to maintain an optimal overall aggregate leverage for MNACT, the Manager will continue to apply the Distribution Reinvestment Plan ("DRP") for MNACT's distribution for the period from 1 April 2021 to 30 September 2021.
