Investa Listed Funds Management Limited ACN 149 175 655 AFSL 401414 Valuation policy Approved by the Board of Investa Listed Funds Management Limited on 29 June 2011, to be effective from 7 July 2011. 1. Which entities does this policy apply to? This policy applies: to Funds for which Investa Listed Funds Management Limited (ILFML) is the responsible entity: o Investa Office Fund (IOF) which is the stapling of: Armstrong Jones Office Fund ARSN 090 242 229 Prime Credit Property Trust ARSN 090 242 229 Investa Listed Funds Management Limited ABN 37 149 175 655 2. What is this policy about? The purpose of this policy is to set out guidelines for: the valuation for Investment Properties 1 and listed investments; the frequency of valuations; and how an external valuer will be appointed The Board of ILFML may amend this policy at any time in any manner that it considers appropriate. Any amendments will take effect from the date nominated by the Board. If there is an inconsistency between this policy and the relevant scheme s constitution, then the relevant constitution shall prevail to the extent of the inconsistency. 3. Background Accounting Standards require the fair value of Investment Properties to be estimated for recognition, measurement and for disclosure purposes. Fair value is the amount for which the assets could be exchanged between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm s length transaction. The carrying value of each investment property is formally reviewed every reporting period by the Audit and Compliance Committee, but is to be reviewed by management more frequently if management has cause to believe there may have been a material variation in the value of the property. 1 This includes properties held directly, as tenant in common, as an associate and excludes properties in Dutch Office Fund (DOF) where external valuations are performed annual by independent valuers instructed by DOF, and recorded in DOF Financial Statements). 1

4. How do we determine the fair value of Investment Properties and Listed Investments? 4.1 Valuing investment properties Management will assess the fair value of investment properties based on independent external valuations in accordance with this policy except in exceptional circumstances such as, for example, where the property is contracted to be sold in which case the sale price may be adopted instead of an independent external valuation. Once an external valuation of an investment property has been adopted, Investa will continue to base its carrying value on that valuation until a new valuation is obtained. External valuations of each investment property must be obtained at least every two years. Valuations will be obtained more frequently where required (e.g. under a finance document) or if there is reason to believe that the fair value of an investment property has materially changed since the previous external valuation. This may arise, for example, as a result of changes in market conditions, leasing activity in relation to the property or capital expenditure/refurbishment. In assessing whether there has been a material change in the fair value of an investment property since the previous external valuation, Management will consider at least at each reporting an internal valuation model in relation to the investment property. In this context: management will not apply or adopt the internal valuation model as the basis for assessing the fair value of investment properties; that the internal valuation is a management tool. A degree of variation between the internal valuation and the carrying value is expected and acceptable. However if the variation is material Management will regard that as a circumstance which requires a new independent external valuation to be obtained; and without limiting any other circumstances in which new external valuations may be obtained, a new external valuation of a property will be obtained if the internal valuation in relation to that property produces an indicative valuation which differs from the then current carrying value of the property by more than 5%. Comparison of carrying values with internal valuation is not the sole basis for determining whether a new external valuation should be obtained. The over-riding obligation is that each investment property be carried at fair value. The Fund and Portfolio Manager must therefore promptly procure a new external valuation of an investment property if the Fund or Portfolio Manager believes that there has been a change in the value of the investment property so that its carrying value no longer reflects the fair value of that property. 4.2 Valuing properties undergoing development intended as an investment property Property under construction or development for future use as an investment property will be carried at fair value as set out in section 4.1. Where the fair value cannot yet be reliably determined, the property will be accounted for at cost until either the fair value becomes reliably determinable or construction is complete. 2

4.3 Selection of independent external valuers All external valuations must be obtained from a valuer who: is authorised to practice as a valuer under the Law of the State or Territory where the valuation takes place; has at least five years continuous experience in valuation of the type of property to be valued; does not have a pecuniary interest that could conflict with the proper valuation of the property; and prepares the valuation in accordance with all relevant principles applicable to a valuation of the type of property to be valued having regard to all the relevant and surrounding circumstances and including any particular requirements of Investa. To maintain independence of valuations, a rotation policy applies to the valuer of each investment property. Accordingly, an external valuer (first valuer) may perform all external valuations on a property for a period of TWO years from the date of their first valuation of that property, after which a new external valuer (second valuer) must be appointed. The first valuer cannot be appointed again until at least TWO years from the date of the second valuer s first valuation. We will also have regard to the selection of valuers to prevent a concentration risk to one valuer across a portfolio of multiple properties and a geographic region. 4.4 Valuation process A variety of established valuation methods and techniques are used by valuers in determining the value of direct property investments. These include: discounted cashflows; capitalisation of rental income analysis; and analysis of comparable recent sale transactions. The external valuer shall perform the valuation in accordance with the Standard Letter of Instructions. (A sample is contained in Annexure 1). 3

5. How do we keep investors informed of valuations? Management will ensure investors are updated on any material changes to valuations in accordance with the Continuous Disclosure Policy. Investors will be updated on valuations when new independent external valuations are received. Disclosure may include: the amount of the latest independent external valuation; the movement in the previous book value; and disclose key assumptions used in preparing the valuation, for instance cap and discount rates; 6. History of this policy approval This policy is subject to at least an annual review by the Audit and Compliance Committee for recommendation to the Board. Version 1 Originally approved by the Board on 29 June 2011 4
