 Dear Investor
 On behalf of SCA Unlisted Retail Fund RE Limited (“SURF RE”), it is our pleasure to invite you to invest
 in SCA Unlisted Retail Fund 2 (“SURF 2”), an unlisted property trust comprising two retail properties in
 New South Wales, namely Katoomba Marketplace and Mittagong Shopping Village (the “Property Portfolio”).
 The Offer to invest in SURF 2 is open from 19 April 2017 until the earlier of the Offer being fully subscribed
 and 19 May 2017 (“Closing Date”). SURF RE has absolute discretion to amend the Closing Date of the Offer,
 which may occur, for example, where the Offer is fully subscribed prior to 19 May 2017.
 SURF 2 aims to provide Investors with sustainable and stable income and the potential for capital growth
 through an investment in the Property Portfolio. The Katoomba Marketplace is a freestanding centre fully
 leased to Woolworths Limited, trading as a Woolworths supermarket and a Big W discount department
 store. The anchor tenant of the Mittagong Shopping Centre is Woolworths Limited (trading as Dan Murphy’s),
 and the centre currently has five specialty tenants.
 While this investment is subject to risk, SURF 2 offers:
 • Attractive yield: a forecast initial distribution yield of 7.0% per annum
 • Secure lease covenant: 94% of income backed by long term leases to Woolworths Limited with a weighted
   average lease expiry greater than 17 years, as at 31 March 2017
 • High quality retail properties: average age of 6.5 years
 The Property Portfolio was valued at $55.1 million by independent valuer (Savills) as at March 2017 which reflects
 a weighted average capitalisation rate of 6.45%. The Property Portfolio will be acquired on arm’s length terms
 from SCA Property Group at that valuation.
 SURF 2 will have an initial fund term of 5 years. It may be extended if a Special Resolution is passed by Investors.
 Irrespective of the extension of SURF 2, one or both of the Properties may be sold before the expiry of the fund
 term if such disposal is considered to be in the best interests of Investors.
 SURF RE is a 100% owned subsidiary of SCA Property Group. As at 31 March 2017, SCA Property Group owned
 and managed a total portfolio of 79 retail properties and shopping centres anchored by Woolworths Limited
 and Wesfarmers Limited. SCA Property Group is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: SCP) with
 a market capitalisation of over $1.6 billion as at 31 March 2017.
 It is important that you read this Product Disclosure Statement carefully before deciding whether to invest
 in SURF 2. You should consider consulting your financial adviser or other professional advisers.
 Yours faithfully

SCA Unlisted Retail Fund 2 - (SURF 2) Product Disclosure Statement 19 April 2017 - SCA Property Group
2.        Key Features of the Fund

     Attractive yield of 7.0%
     SURF 2 is forecast to deliver an initial distribution yield of 7.0% for the years ending 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2019,
     with distributions payable quarterly in arrears.
     This forecast distribution level compares favourably to prevailing income returns on term deposits, government bonds
     and shares in companies listed on the ASX.
     In addition, approximately 30% of the distributions are expected to be “tax deferred”. For further information on the tax
     implications of investing in SURF 2, refer to section 14.

     Secure lease covenants backed by Woolworths Limited
     Woolworths Limited is the lessee in respect of 94% of the current rental income of SURF 2. There are two leases
     with Woolworths Limited as the lessee, a combined lease for Woolworths and Big W at Katoomba, and the other for
     Dan Murphy’s at Mittagong. The remaining terms of these leases range from 15 to 18 years, with the Property Portfolio
     having a weighted average lease expiry (“WALE”) of greater than 17 years.
     On the basis of the rent review provisions in the leases, the potential for growth in distributions over the 5 year term
     of SURF 2 is expected to be minimal. This should be balanced with considering the credit worthiness of Woolworths
     Limited, the long-term nature of the leases as well as lease extension options, as outlined in section 5.
     The remaining 6% of rental income comes from five specialty tenants at the Mittagong Shopping Village. For more
     information in relation to the specialty tenancies, see section 5.

     High quality retail properties
     SURF 2 will hold two retail properties with an average age of 6.5 years as at 31 March 2017. The anchor tenants are
     a Woolworths supermarket, a Big W discount department store, and a Dan Murphy’s liquor store. The anchor tenant
     under each lease is Woolworths Limited. For more information in relation to the Properties, see section 5.

     Experienced manager
     The Manager of SURF 2 is SCA Operations, a wholly owned subsidiary of SCA Property Group.
     SCA Property Group was demerged out of Woolworths Limited and listed on the ASX in December 2012 as an
     independent Australian real estate investment trust (“A-REIT”). As at 31 March, 2017, SCA Property Group managed
     over $2.2 billion of retail assets in Australia and had a market capitalisation of over $1.6 billion. Since listing SCA
     Property Group has been one of the strongest performing A-REITs on the ASX, generating a total unitholder return
     in excess of 100% for its investors.
     SCA Operations is also the manager of the SURF 1 unlisted property fund, which has delivered its unitholders
     an annual return in excess of 8% since it launched in October 2015.

     Risks
     There are risks associated with this investment, including property investment risks, diversification and tenant
     concentration risks, debt and refinancing risks, fund investment risks and other general investment risks.
     For more information in relation to these risks, please refer to section 9.

                             The term of the debt facility is 5 years
                             SURF 2 has entered into an interest rate swap with a face value of
                             $13.6 million to fix financing costs for approximately 50% of the debt facility

    Risks                    As with any investment, there are a number of risks inherent in an investment               9
                             in SURF 2. The key risks are discussed in section 9 and include:
                             • Property investment risks – Including the risk that property values decline
                               and the risk that there is a decrease in or suspension of Fund income due
                               to a specialty tenancy vacancy or default by one or more tenants
                             • Diversification and tenant concentration risk – Including financial decline
                               in the credit quality of the major tenant, Woolworths Limited, without
                               a replacement tenant of similar credit quality being obtained
                             • Debt and refinance risks – There is a risk that the terms of the debt
                               covenants may be breached by a decline in property values. In addition,
                               there is a risk that if refinancing is required to extend the term of the debt
                               beyond its 5 year term, the refinancing may be on less favourable terms
                               thereby adversely affecting distributions
                             • Fund investment risks – Including the limitations on the liquidity of your
                               investment, investment horizon, gearing, diversification risk and the risk
                               that additional transaction costs may be levied
                             • General investment risks – Including that the economy and market
                               conditions may affect asset and property returns and values
