1 Presima inc. Manages global property securities for MLC, since High conviction in listed real estate management Manages A$1.164 billion across the world (at 30 June 2014). All of Presima s operations are located in one office, in Montreal, Canada. Presima has managed global property securities since Presima and MLC are part of the National Australia Bank group of companies. Presima s only business is the management of global listed real estate strategies we are a high conviction firm. All our efforts focus on providing clients with the benefits of investing in this alternative to physical real estate and traditional asset classes. Why MLC has chosen Presima MLC has selected Presima because they are a specialist global properties manager. Their investment team is skilled, experienced and stable and they have a robust, disciplined investment process. The firm use extensive bottom-up analysis to create a concentrated portfolio of stocks. Presima s central office location encourages rigorous peer review of investment ideas, a key strength of its process. We consider Presima's investment approach will complement the other managers in our global property strategy. Philosophy on investing High conviction investment philosophy Presima believe listed real estate securities provide total returns consistent with physical real estate over time but are periodically mispriced due to market inefficiencies, which their investment team can identify systematically. Research focus: adding value over time by identifying mispriced fundamentals Analysis of underlying assets held by the real estate investment trust (REIT) or real estate operating company (REOC). Management interviews to understand business strategy. Assessment of the markets where the security is listed. Decision-making process: optimising the strengths of a unified global team Centralized team facilitates comparison of investment opportunities. Team members have specific regional, sector and decision-making responsibilities. Presima DataBook enables real-time information flow. Investment process In Presima s investment process, value is created by selecting an appropriate investment universe and maintaining a comprehensive understanding of investment grade opportunities. This is carried out through fundamental bottom-up research. Company relationships and on-the-ground asset visits are key to gaining appropriate insight into investment opportunities. Presima follow a systematic research-driven investment process. Their portfolio management team seeks to identify high quality undervalued investment opportunities in the global listed real estate market.

2 Presima s research efforts are targeted at gaining insights into the fundamental value of real estate companies. Securities are selected using a bottom-up approach which starts with an indepth understanding of the properties, the management and the company s competitive advantage. The investment team generates and updates proprietary financial models on a high proportion of the global listed real estate universe. These proprietary models allow the investment team to screen and compare risk-adjusted expected returns in real time on a global basis. The responsibilities of Presima s investment management professionals are divided regionally between North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and emerging markets. The strategy Presima manages for MLC is a high conviction strategy that exploits best ideas across regions, sectors and risk profile. Its main purpose is to provide investors with a liquid and diversified global portfolio of public real estate securities on a total return basis. The strategy provides growth-oriented total return from an alternative asset class. This best ideas strategy aims to identify and seize the periodic mispricings which characterise listed real estate markets worldwide, to add value over time. The strategy is benchmark aware, but is not benchmark driven, with a focus on security selection to add value. This strategy is driven by bottom-up research, with a top-down overlay. The portfolio is constructed to exploit mispricings while ensuring that there are no unintended bets in the portfolio. Its concentrated nature allows us to express our conviction in significant positions relative to traditional market indices, thereby generating a higher active share than traditional benchmark-aware strategies. Main strategy features are: participation in global real estate markets best ideas orientation emphasis on developed countries with exposure to emerging markets high conviction style, and management against a benchmark.

5 Investment idea: Hulic REIT (Japan) In terms of our ESG ratings, Hulic REIT is among Presima s top rated real estate companies globally. Hulic REIT is a Japanese REIT that invests in office buildings, commercial facilities, nursing homes and network centers. Hulic Co. is one of the most proactive and progressive Japanese firms (and globally) in regard to energyefficient R&D efforts. It has formed partnerships with MIT University to create new energy-efficient building designs and technologies. At the asset level Hulic Owns 21 properties with strategic locations: 57% office, 21% retail, 14% nursing homes, and 8% Network centers. We expect acquisitions to triple the size of REITs in the next 3-5 years. Hulic Group (sponsor) has a sizeable pipeline of potential injection. At the company level Hulic is setting ambitious targets in terms of reducing the environmental footprint of its real estate portfolio. Management is very focused on growing the business in the long term and understands the benefits of good communication and marketing. Hulic has a stronger sponsor than the rest of the market and a good alignment of interest with its sponsor (15% ownership). The firm has a strong track record of value creation in the last couple of years. At the market level the valuation is compelling compared with the rest of the sector. Dividend yield growth rate is above average given acquisition level and we expect 10% annual growth per year for the next three years. We expect rents to increase as corporate earnings increase.
