NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Transfer Books and Register of Unitholders of Cambridge Industrial Trust ("CIT") will be closed at 5.00 pm on 9 May 2016 for the purpose of determining Unitholders' entitlements to CIT's distribution.

The Manager of CIT has announced a distribution of 1.112 cents per unit from taxable income for CIT units for the period 1 January 2016 to 31 March 2016.

Unitholders whose securities accounts with The Central Depository (Pte) Limited are credited with CIT units as at 5.00 pm on 9 May 2016 will be entitled to the distributions that will be paid on 31 May 2016.

DECLARATION FOR SINGAPORE TAX PURPOSES

Tax will be deducted at source from the taxable income distribution in certain circumstances. The following section describes the circumstances in which tax will or will not be deducted from such distribution.

  1. The Trustee and Manager of CIT will not deduct tax from distributions made out of CIT's taxable income that is not taxed at CIT's level to:

  2. Unitholders who are individuals and who hold the units either in their sole names or jointly with other individuals;

  3. Unitholders which are companies incorporated and tax resident in Singapore;

  4. Unitholders which are Singapore branches of foreign companies; or

  5. Unitholders which are non-corporate entities (excluding partnerships) constituted or registered in Singapore, such as:

  6. institutions, authorities, persons or funds specified in the First Schedule to the Income Tax Act (Cap. 134);

  11. For distributions made to classes of Unitholders that do not fall within the categories stated under Note 1 above, the Trustee and the Manager of CIT will deduct tax at the rate of 10% if the Unitholders are foreign non-individual investors. A foreign non-individual investor is one which is not a resident of Singapore* for income tax purposes and:

  12. which does not have a permanent establishment^ in Singapore; or

  13. which carries on any operation in Singapore through a permanent establishment in Singapore, where the funds used to acquire the units in CIT are not obtained from that operation.

  14. Unitholders are required to complete the applicable Section A, B or C of the "Declaration for Singapore Tax Purposes Form A" ("Form A") if they fall within the categories (b) to (d) stated under Note 1 or Section D of Form A if they qualify as a foreign non-individual investor as described under Note 2.

  15. The Trustee and the Manager of CIT will rely on the declarations made in Form A to determine (i) if tax is to be deducted for the categories of Unitholders listed in (b) to (d) under Note 1; and (ii) if tax is to be deducted at the rate of 10% for distributions to foreign non-individual investors as described under Note 2.

  16. Unitholders who fall within class (a) under Note 1 are not required to submit Form A.
  17. Unitholders who do not fall within the classes of Unitholders listed in Note 1 and Note 2 above can choose not to return Form A as tax will be deducted from the distributions made to them at the prevailing corporate tax rate in any case.

  18. The Trustee and the Manager of CIT will deduct tax at the prevailing corporate tax rate from distributions made out of CIT's taxable income that is not taxed at CIT's level, in respect of units held by depository agents except where the beneficial owners of these units are:

  19. Individuals and the units are not held through a partnership in Singapore;

  20. Qualifying unitholders as listed in categories (b) to (d) under Note 1; or

  21. Foreign non-individual investors.

    For units held through the depository agents, the depository agents must complete the "Declaration by Depository Agents for Singapore Tax Purposes Form B" ("Form B") and its annexes (Annex 1 for individuals, Annexes 2 and 2.1 for qualifying Unitholders and Annex 3 for foreign non-individuals).

  22. Form A and Form B (and its annexes) will be sent to Unitholders and depository agents respectively, by CIT's Unit Registrar, B.A.C.S. Private Limited, on or around 11 May 2016.

  23. Unitholders (Form A) and the depository agents (Form B and its annexes) will have to complete the forms legibly and send it to the Unit Registrar such that it is received by 5.00

    p.m. on 18 May 2016. The Trustee and the Manager of CIT will rely on the declarations made in Form A and Form B to determine if tax is to be deducted. Failure to comply with any of these requirements will render Form A and Form B invalid and the Trustee and the Manager of CIT will be obliged to deduct the appropriate amount of tax from the distributions in respect of which this announcement is made.
  24. Unitholders who hold units under the Central Provident Fund Investment Scheme (CPFIS) and the Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) do not have to return the Form as they will receive gross distributions paid to their respective CPFIS and SRS accounts.

  25. IMPORTANT REMINDER

    Unitholders and the depository agents must complete and return the "Declaration for Singapore Tax Purposes Forms A and B (and its annexes)" to B.A.C.S. Private Limited's office by 5.00 pm on 18 May 2016 in order to receive the distributions either at gross or at net as described above.
