7. I am entitled to 290 Rights Units but by mistake, I have keyed in acceptance for 200 Rights
Units only at the ATM. Can I go to the ATM and key in a second time to accept the balance
90 Rights Units? Will this be treated as multiple applications and rejected?
Yes, you can key in again. It will not be treated as multiple applications.
8. I am entitled to 290 Rights Units and I wanted to subscribe for 200 Rights Units at the ATM
but I keyed in 290 Rights Units by mistake. Can I get a refund immediately? What is the
timeline for the refund?
Please ensure that the amount of Rights Units that you applied for via the ATM is correct.
Unfortunately, we will not be able to reverse your subscription at all. Your application for 290
Rights Units will be processed accordingly.
Refund for any excess application monies will be processed within 5 business days after the
commencement of listing of the Rights Units and credited back to the same bank account which
you used to subscribe at the ATM.
9. I am entitled to 290 Rights Units but by mistake, I have skipped the “Entitlements” screen
and keyed in my application under the “Excess” screen. What should I do?
To accept your entitlements, kindly go to the ATM again and make another application, this time
to key in your subscription under the “Entitlements” screen. If you do not key in under the
“Entitlements” screen, you will not get your entitlements.
Your excess application will be considered as an application for excess only, which is subject to
allotment/balloting and availability.
Your two separate applications will be aggregated and processed.
10. I am entitled to 290 Rights Units. Am I allowed to apply for 10 Excess Rights Units to round
up my odd lots?
Yes, you can key in your subscription under the “Entitlement” screen to apply for 10 Excess
Rights Units to round up your odd lots.
In the allotment of Excess Rights Units, priority will be given to the rounding of odd lots (if any)
followed by allotment to the Unitholders who are neither Directors of the Manager nor Substantial
3Unitholders.
Directors and Substantial Unitholders who have control or influence over Keppel-KBS US REIT or
the Manager in connection with the day-to-day affairs of Keppel-KBS US REIT, or the terms of the
Rights Issue, or have representation (direct or through a nominee) on the board of Directors, will
rank last in priority for the rounding of odd lots and allotment of Excess Rights Units.
As another example, if you are entitled to 290 Rights Units and applied for 710 Excess Rights
Units, priority will be given to the rounding of odd lots (i.e. 10 Excess Rights Units to round the
entitled 290 Rights Units to the nearest 100). The remaining 700 Excess Rights Units may be
subject to balloting.
11. What if I submitted my applications both via the ATMs and the application forms (i.e. ARE
forms)? What happens?
In the event that the applicant accepts the rights entitlements both by way of the ARE and/or the
ARS (as the case may be) through CDP and/or by way of Electronic Application through the ATM,
CDP shall be authorised and entitled to accept the applicant’s instructions in whichever mode or a
combination thereof as it may, in its absolute discretion, deem fit.
In determining the number of Rights Units which the applicant has validly given instructions to
accept, the applicant shall be deemed to have irrevocably given instructions to accept the lesser
of the number of provisionally allotted Rights Units which are standing to the credit of the “Free
Balance” of his Securities Account as at the Closing Date, and the aggregate number of Rights
Units which have been accepted by the applicant by way of the ARE and/or the ARS (as the case
may be) and by Electronic Application through an ATM, and the Manager and/or CDP, in
determining the number of Rights Units which the applicant has validly given instructions to
accept, shall be authorised and entitled to have regard to the aggregate amount of payment
received for the acceptance of Rights Units, whether by way of cashier’s order or banker’s draft in
US currency drawn on a bank in Singapore accompanying the ARE and/or the ARS or by way of
the acceptance through the Electronic Application through the ATM of a Participating Bank.

You need to enclose a cashier’s order or banker’s draft with the application form and submit
to CDP, payable to “CDP-KEP-KBS REIT USD RIGHTS ISSUE ACCOUNT”

13. If I have used SRS funds to purchase my existing units, how do I go about accepting my
rights units?
Eligible Unitholders who hold units under the SRS or through a finance company or Depository
Agent can only accept their provisional allotments of rights units by instructing their relevant bank,
finance company or Depository Agent to do so on their behalf.
Any application made by the above-mentioned Unitholders directly to CDP or through ATMs will
be rejected.

the Rights Issue?

Entitlements and (if applicable) apply for Excess Rights Units on your behalf. Any acceptance and
(if applicable) application made directly through CDP, Electronic Applications at ATMs of
Participating Banks, the Unit Registrar and/or the Manager will be rejected.
16. How do I buy/sell my “nil-paid” rights?

ST and/or CDP shall be made in accordance with the “Terms and Conditions for Operation of
Securities Accounts with CDP”, as the same may be amended from time to time, copies of which
are available from CDP.
18. How will odd lots of Rights Units trade after they are listed on the SGX-ST?
Unitholders who hold odd lots of units (that is, lots other than board lots of 100 units) and who
wish to trade in odd lots of units can do so on the Unit Share Market of the SGX-ST.
Please refer to the Offer Information Statement for further details.

24. If Unitholders’ applications for Excess Rights Units are not successful or only partially
fulfilled, when and how will the refunds be paid back to them?

unsuccessful, the amount paid on acceptance and/or application will be returned or refunded to
such applicants without interest or any share of revenue or other benefit arising therefrom within 5
business days after commencement of trading of the Rights Units as follows:
(i) where the acceptance and/or application had been made through CDP, by means of
a crossed cheque drawn on a bank in Singapore and sent by ordinary post at their
own risk to their mailing addresses maintained with CDP or in such other manner as
they may have agreed with CDP for the payment of any cash distribution; and
(ii) where the acceptance and/or application had been made through Electronic

Banks at their own risk, the receipt by such bank being a good discharge of the

6OVERSEAS UNITHOLDERS
25. Why can’t foreign Unitholders take part in the Rights Issue?
The offer, sale and delivery of the Rights Units and the Rights Entitlements may be prohibited or
restricted in certain jurisdictions under their relevant securities laws.
Thus, for practical reasons and in order to avoid any violation of the securities legislation or other
relevant laws applicable in countries (other than in Singapore) where Unitholders may have as
their addresses registered with CDP, the Rights Issue will not be extended to Ineligible
Unitholders.
26. Are Unitholders in US eligible to take part in the Rights Issue?
Only Eligible Unitholders are eligible to participate in the Rights Issue. Eligible Unitholders are
Unitholders with Units standing to the credit of their securities account with CDP (but do not
include securities sub-accounts) and whose registered addresses with CDP are in Singapore as
at the Rights Issue Books Closure Date or who have, at least 3 Market Days prior to the Rights
Issue Books Closure Date, provided CDP with Singapore addresses for the service of notices and
documents, but exclude, subject to certain exceptions, Unitholders located, resident or with a
registered address outside of Singapore.
Please refer to the Offer Information Statement for further details.
27. Can US Unitholders obtain a copy of the Offer Information Statement?
The Offer Information Statement is only made available to Unitholders who have Singapore
mailing addresses.
28. What happens to the Rights Entitlements of the Unitholders who have not provided
Singapore mailing addresses for the purpose of the Rights Issue?
Only Eligible Unitholders are eligible to participate in the Rights Issue.
The Manager may, at its absolute discretion and if it is practicable to do so, arrange for the Rights
Entitlements which would otherwise have been provisionally allotted to Ineligible Unitholders to be
sold “nil-paid” on the SGX-ST as soon as practicable after trading of the Rights Entitlements
commences.
Proceeds from the sale of “nil-paid” rights will be pooled together and returned to these Ineligible
Unitholders based on their respective unitholdings determined on the Rights Issue Books Closure
Date, provided that where the amount of net proceeds to be distributed to any single Ineligible
Unitholder is less than S$10.00, the Manager shall be entitled to retain or deal with such net
proceeds as the Manager may, in its absolute discretion, deem fit for the sole benefit of Keppel-
KBS US REIT.
29. How do Unitholders go about registering their Singapore addresses (if they have one) with
CDP? And when must this be completed?
Unitholders are to update their mailing addresses with CDP at least 3 Market Days prior to the
Rights Issue Books Closure Date.
30. For local nominee companies, how will they know if their overseas Unitholders are eligible
for the Rights Issue?

Information Statement sets out the eligibility of Unitholders to participate in the Rights Issue.
