(a) the New Securities will be offered for issue without disclosure to investors under Part
6D.2 of the Corporations Act and without a Product Disclosure Statement for the New

(e) as at the date of this notice, there is no excluded information of the type referred to in subsections 708AA(8), 708AA(9), 1012DAA(8) and 1012DAA(9) of the Act; and
(f) the potential effect the offer will have on the control of Abacus Property Group, and the consequences of that effect, will depend on a number of factors, including investor demand and existing shareholdings. Given the structure of the entitlement offer as a pro- rata issue and the current level of holdings of substantial holders, the offer is not expected to have any material effect or consequence on the control of Abacus Property Group. Calculator Australia Pty Limited, the registered holder of ~49.12% of Abacus Property Group stapled securities, has committed to take up stapled securities equal to
~49.12% of the underwritten institutional component of the offer, and to not otherwise participate in the offer. Accordingly, its percentage holdings of Abacus Property Group stapled securities will be slightly diluted by the exercise of entitlements in the non- underwritten retail component of the offer.
Yours faithfully
Abacus Property Group
