Introduction

Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust1 ("MNACT") was constituted in the Republic of Singapore pursuant to a Trust Deed dated 14 February 2013 (as amended). MNACT was listed on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited ("SGX-ST") on 7 March 2013 (the "Listing Date") as a real estate investment trust. The principal investment strategy of MNACT is to invest, directly or indirectly in the Greater China region, Japan and South Korea, in a diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate which is used primarily for commercial purposes (including real estate used predominantly for retail and/or offices), as well as real estate-related assets.

The current portfolio of MNACT comprises thirteen commercial properties in China, in Hong Kong SAR, Japan and South Korea, with a total lettable area of 5.9 million square feet. Their total book value2 is S$8,267.1 million as of 31 March 2022:

(c) Sandhill Plaza, a premium quality business park development located at Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park, within the Pudong New Area, Shanghai, China (acquired on 17 June 2015);

  • (d) Properties in Japan, with good-quality specifications (collectively, the "Japan Properties"):

    • - two office buildings, mBAY POINT Makuhari ("MBP") located in Chiba and Omori Prime Building ("Omori") located in Tokyo (acquired on 28 February 20203); and

    • - one office building, Hewlett-Packard Japan Headquarters Building ("HPB") located in Tokyo (acquired on 18 June 20216)

  • (e) 50% interest in The Pinnacle Gangnam, a high quality office building located at Gangnam-gu in

All these properties enjoy excellent connectivity via convenient access to major roads, expressways and subway lines, with quality tenants operating across diversified trade sectors.

Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust Management Ltd. ("MNACTM" or the "Manager") aims to deliver stable and steady DPU growth to Unitholders, through actively managing and enhancing the properties, acquiring good quality income-producing commercial assets aligned with MNACT's investment mandate, and having in place an active capital management strategy to manage both interest rate and foreign exchange volatility. The Manager monitors MNACT's cash flow position and working capital requirements to ensure adequate reserves and liquidity to meet its financial obligations. The Manager also actively refinances MNACT's financial obligations so as to manage the debt maturity profile.

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")

The Distribution Reinvestment Plan will be suspended from and including the 2H FY21/22 Distribution onwards. Unitholders will receive their 2H FY21/22 Distribution in cash.

Valuation of Investment Properties

Valuations of properties in MNACT's portfolio are conducted annually in accordance with the requirements under Appendix 6 of the Code on Collective investment Schemes ("Property Fund Appendix").

Accordingly, the investment properties in the balance sheet are stated at fair value based on the portfolio valuation as of 31 March 2022. The resultant net revaluation loss of S$215.4 million as of 31 March 2022 is recognised in the Statement of Profit and Loss (Please refer to Paragraph 9(a) for the gain/loss recorded for each investment property).

Proposed Merger with Mapletree Commerial Trust ("MCT") to Form Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial REIT ("MPACT")

Mapletree Commercial Trust Management Ltd., as manager of Mapletree Commercial Trust ("MCT" and as manager of MCT, the "MCT Manager"), and Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust Management Ltd., ("MNACT" and as manager of MNACT, the "MNACT Manager"), jointly announced the proposed merger of MCT and MNACT (the "Merger") on 31 December 2021 and 21 March 2022 to create a flagship commercial REIT positioned to be the proxy to key gateway markets of Asia.

The Merger will be effected by a trust scheme of arrangement (the "Trust Scheme") with MNACT Unitholders entitled to elect to receive the Scheme Consideration in new units in MCT ("MCT Units"), a combination of cash and MCT Units or wholly in cash. Post-merger, MPACT will become one of Asia's ten largest REITs, with a market capitalisation of approximately S$10.5 billion1. With assets under management ("AUM") of approximately S$17.1 billion2, the diversified and high quality portfolio will comprise 18 commercial assets across Singapore, China, Hong Kong SAR, Japan and South Korea.

Subject to, among other things, approvals by MCT and MNACT unitholders and the Singapore Court, the Merger is currently expected to be completed around August 2022. More details on the Merger will be available in the Scheme Document to unitholders which will be despatched in due course.

  • 1 Illustrative market capitalisation of the Merged Entity is calculated based on the Scheme Issue Price of S$2.0039 and the pro forma total number of units outstanding for the Merged Entity as at the Latest Practicable Date of 5,219.1 million, assuming all MNACT Unitholders (excluding the MIPL Entities) elect to receive the Cash-and-Scrip Consideration or the Cash-only Consideration. Assuming all MNACT Unitholders elect to receive the Scrip-Only Consideration, the market capitalisation for Merged Entity would be S$10.9 billion.

  • 2 The AUM of MCT and MNACT are based on the valuations of MCT and MNACT as at 31 March 2022.
