3 Investment Advisory Services OVERVIEW CBRE s Investment Advisory Services team provides a range of services to help our clients determine strategy and execute transactions involving major investment properties. Our services include: Transaction Advice Financial Modelling Pre-marketing Due Diligence Acquisition Due Diligence These services are designed to ensure that our clients are as fully informed as possible during negotiations and are able to execute transactions quickly and efficiently. A feature of our service is that we act as independent advisers, not agents, and we are fully aware of the need for confidentiality in all engagements that we undertake.

4 SCOPE OF SERVICES 1. Investment Advisory Services acts as an independent adviser and is able to provide strategic advice to clients when they are making decisions relating to transactions, for example, when to buy, when to sell and how to present the asset (or portfolio) in the best possible light. Our clients may be involved in the acquisition, disposal, financing or administration of property and every matter we undertake is unique and is approached according to the particular circumstances. In addition to the substantial experience within our own service line, and subject to appropriate confidentiality, we are able to draw upon the vast depth of market knowledge within CBRE, including our Global Research and Consulting team at a macro level, and/or valuers and agents who are actively involved in specific local markets. This practical market information enables us to provide well researched and reasoned advice to assist our clients. Transaction Advice In addition, we have access to specialist expertise within CBRE, such as our Sustainability and Town Planning service lines, whose input can be invaluable in confirming that all bases are covered when making important decisions on the timing of transactions. In particular, the ground work that may need to be done before a decision is made to buy or sell, for example relating to energy ratings, proposed zoning changes, etc.

5 2. Our pre-marketing due diligence service for vendors of major investment properties is designed to ensure that transactions are executed as efficiently as possible. Pre-marketing Due Diligence In addition, we review the lease agreements to check that the tenancy schedules are accurate and that we are aware of any unusual clauses that may impact on the income. Thorough preparation before offering assets for sale means that the information provided to prospective purchasers by the marketing agents is as up to date and accurate as possible. Experience has shown that a well informed marketing team has a higher chance of success. We believe a thorough and detailed approach to pre-marketing due diligence is essential to achieving the optimum results. We approach pre-marketing due diligence in a structured manner to gain a detailed understanding of the asset (or portfolio) being offered for sale. We are specialists who undertake due diligence around Australia on a regular basis, giving us the experience to complete the task with maximum efficiency. Our involvement is virtually a dummy run of what a purchaser will do and any information or documentation that is incorrect, incomplete or outstanding can be updated, located or finalised in advance of the formal due diligence period. We can also assist our clients and their other advisers with the preparation of the dataroom. This includes critically examining all income and expenses to ensure their accuracy and in doing so we review and fully understand issues such as outgoings recoveries and percentage rent calculations.

6 SCOPE OF SERVICES 3. Financial modelling brings together the due diligence information in a concise manner, analysing the potential performance of an asset or a portfolio. All critical aspects are examined, compared to industry benchmarks and analysed in a cash flow model. Typically the analysis concentrates on: General Market advice: Forecast face and effective office rental growth Market commentary including forecasts Vacancy forecasts Relevant investment yields Financial Modelling The cash flow model reviews key variables that can impact price and shows the pricing sensitivity to movements in them. Typically the output is a 5 and 10 year cash flow, however this can be tailored to suit. What if scenarios can be run depending on particular client requirements. For example, some parties require analysis on a zero tenant retention basis or have their own view on market forecasts. In portfolio analysis, parties may request analysis excluding particular assets, or including additional properties. Off-shore investors utilise the analysis as a local benchmark to compare against their own analysis, which commonly is conducted under different scenarios and varying global inputs. Asset/Portfolio Commentary: Current rent profile Current incentive profile Lease rollovers Capital expenditure Commentary on the building and its standing in the market Development options can also be considered and analysed including a comparison between various options and uses, be it commercial, retail, residential, hotel or other use. The timing of development projects is critical, especially where existing improvements are income producing. The analysis is carried out to determine whether the risk and return are sufficient to justify redevelopment.

7 4. Our acquisition due diligence service aims to ensure that our clients have a full and detailed understanding of the property or portfolio that is being acquired. Acquisition Due Diligence We adopt a commercial, rather than a tick the box, approach and we are constantly seeking to identify issues that will assist our clients to acquire a property or portfolio at the best price. We do this by investigating, interpreting and verifying a comprehensive checklist of information to gain a detailed understanding of the asset or portfolio. This includes reviewing lease agreements, ensuring that income and expenses are supported by documentation and highlighting any unusual or restrictive features of a property that may have an adverse impact on the income stream. Included in the due diligence process is our estimate of the sustainable income, which is then compared with the vendor s stated income. This enables us to identify differences that may assist in renegotiating the price, including any deal breaker issues and recommendations on how they should be resolved. Apart from the assurance and comfort that is gained by retaining experienced professionals to assist the acquisition process, our involvement allows our clients to concentrate on other aspects of the transaction, such as securing finance and liaising with investors. Furthermore, using a third party to identify and quantify contentious issues helps to preserve your relationship with the vendor. Among other investigations, we provide a comparison of rents before and after recent lease renewals and new leasings, together with any associated incentives, to determine the trend in rents and the level of incentives.
