Dexus (ASX: DXS)

ASX release

1 April 2020

Settlement of GIC's acquisition of an additional 24% interest in Dexus Australian Logistics Trust

Dexus today announced the settlement of the second tranche for GIC to acquire an additional 24% interest in the Dexus Australian Logistics Trust ("DALT") core portfolio[1], increasing GIC's total investment in DALT to 49%.

The establishment of DALT was previously announced to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on 26 November 2018 and the exercise of the option to acquire the additional 24% was announced to the ASX on 6 January 2020. DALT is an open-ended unlisted trust with an active acquisition and development mandate, seeded with assets from Dexus's existing industrial portfolio and a development landbank.

The additional investment is priced at $366.1 million[2], consistent with the 31 December 2019 independent valuations across the core Dexus industrial portfolio.

Dexus will utilise the proceeds to further strengthen its capital position, resulting in $1.3 billion of cash and committed undrawn debt facilities.

Authorised by Brett Cameron, General Counsel and Company Secretary of Dexus Funds Management Limited.

[2] Excludes 250 Forest Road South, Lara for which the put and call options have been deferred to mid-FY21.
