Investors will be subject to investment risks and benefits as if they were the owners of the Properties in their own right and had obtained non-recourse borrowing from a bank on similar terms to the Loan, secured by a mortgage over the Properties. There are also some risks associated with investing in the Properties through the Fund. ASIC ASIC has issued Regulatory Guide 46 – Unlisted property schemes: Improving disclosure 10.1 Guidance for retail investors. The Fund meets the prescribed benchmarks and the PDS makes the required disclosures. Tabular guides are included to assist Investors.

Voting rights All Units will have equal voting rights. 3.2 Distributions The Responsible Entity intends to make distributions on a monthly 3.5 basis, to be paid on or about the 21st day of the following month. The holder of a Unit on the last day of a month is entitled to the distribution in respect of that Unit for the month. Distributions are paid only out of funds from operations and realised proceeds of sale. Tax deferred amounts The Responsible Entity expects that 100% of the distribution 8.2 for the period ending 30 June 2022 and for the year ending 30 June 2023 will be tax deferred. Superannuation funds It is intended that the Fund will be a widely held trust for the 10.4 purposes of investment by superannuation funds and pension funds. Trustees should nevertheless seek their own advice to determine whether this Fund is suitable for a complying superannuation fund or pension fund.

The legislation governs such matters as minimum lease terms, rent reviews, non-payment of land tax, payment of operating expenses and disputes.
