The basis of determination of the number of new Units issued (together with the relevant amounts paid in cash) as payment of the Base Fee, the Variable Fee and the Adjustment are consistent with the relevant provisions of the Trust Deed.

In accordance with the Trust Deed, the amount of the Manager's Fees was previously calculated quarterly on the basis of (i) the value of the relevant properties as per the latest published interim report/audited annual accounts of Sunlight REIT (with adjustments being made for the properties acquired/disposed of during the relevant periods, if applicable); and (ii) the Net Property Income as per the unaudited management accounts of Sunlight REIT prepared by the Manager for each quarter. Subsequent to the publishing of the audited accounts of Sunlight REIT for the financial year ended 30 June 2018, the Manager's Fees for that financial year were adjusted by way of the Adjustment determined by reference to the audited accounts, and the Adjustment has been paid to theManager in the form of cash as to 50% and in the form of Units as to 50% as mentioned above.

The payment of the Manager's Fees (including the Adjustment) by way of Units is provided for in the Trust Deed and does not require specific prior approval of Unitholders pursuant to a waiver granted by the SFC. The Manager is entitled to receive such number of Units as may be purchased for the relevant amount of the Base Fee and/or Variable Fee attributable at the Market Price. Under the waiver granted by the SFC, the issue of Units to the Manager as payment of all or part of the Manager's Fees for each financial year will be counted as part of the 20% of outstanding Units that the Manager may issue in each financial year without requiring Unitholders' approval pursuant to paragraph 12.2 of the REIT Code. In addition, in respect of each financial year, the maximum number of Units that may be issued to the Manager as payment of all or part of the Manager's Fees for that financial year shall be limited to such number of Units as represents 3% of the total number of Units outstanding at the last day of the immediately preceding financial year, plus the number of Units issued (if any) in the relevant financial year for the purpose of financing any acquisition of real estate by Sunlight REIT. The total number of Units issued to the Manager as payment of the Manager's Fees for the financial year ended 30 June 2018 is 8,756,278, which represents approximately 0.53% of the 1,637,777,762 Units in issue at 30 June 2017.
