CapitaRetail China : Replace - Scrip Election/ Distribution/ DRP - Mandatory With Options

(Constituted in the Republic of Singapore pursuant to a trust deed dated 23 October 2006 (as amended))

1. NOTICE OF BOOKS CLOSURE AND DISTRIBUTION PAYMENT DATE
2. APPLICATION OF DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN TO THE DISTRIBUTION FOR THE DISTRIBUTION PERIOD FROM 1 JANUARY 2016 TO 30 JUNE 2016

Unitholders whose securities accounts with The Central Depository (Pte) Limited are credited with Units as at the Books Closure Date will be entitled to the Distribution to be paid on 20 September 2016.

The Distribution comprises the two components of:

1. capital distribution of 2.86 cents; and

2. tax exempt income distribution of 2.46 cents.

Capital distribution represents a return of capital to Unitholders for Singapore income tax purpose. The amount of capital distribution will reduce the cost of CRCT units for Singapore income tax purposes. For Unitholders who are liable to Singapore income tax on profits from sale of Units, the reduced cost base of their Units will be used to calculate the taxable trading gains when the Units are disposed off.

Tax exempt income distribution is exempt from Singapore income tax in the hands of all Unitholders. No tax will be deducted from such distribution.

CapitaLand Retail China Trust Management Limited, as manager of CRCT (the "Manager"), wishes to announce that the distribution reinvestment plan (the "DRP") will apply to the Distribution.

The DRP provides Unitholders with the option to receive their Distribution, either in the form of Units or cash or a combination of both. A Unitholder will have the following options in respect of his Distribution:

• elect to receive a cash distribution on his existing Units held; or

• elect to receive an allotment of Units credited as fully paid in lieu of the cash amount of the distribution entitlement for the distribution period from 1 January 2016 to 30 June 2016 only; or

• elect to receive an allotment of Units credited as fully paid in lieu of part of the cash amount of the distribution entitlement and the remaining distribution entitlement in cash.

Units to be issued under the DRP will be issued under the Unit issue mandate to issue Units pursuant to the DRP obtained from Unitholders at the Annual General Meeting of CRCT held on 11 April 2016. A statement, containing the terms and conditions of the DRP, is attached in the Appendix (the "DRP Terms and Conditions").

1. Notice of Election

   The Notices of Election1 will be sent to Unitholders registered in the Depository Register2 as at the Books Closure Date on 15 August 2016.

   Unitholders who wish to participate in the DRP will have to complete the Notice of Election and send it to the Manager c/o The Central Depository (Pte) Limited ("CDP") at the address(es) indicated on the Notices of Election, such that it is received by 5.00 p.m. on 30 August 2016.

   Unitholders who wish to receive their Distribution in cash need not take any action.

   Unitholders who wish to participate in the DRP and do not receive the Notice of Election within three Market Days3 after the expected date of despatch on 15 August 2016 may obtain a copy from the unit registrar of CRCT, Boardroom Corporate & Advisory Services Pte. Ltd., 50 Raffles Place, #32-01 Singapore Land Tower, Singapore 048623 (Telephone number: +65 6536 5355)

   or CDP.

2. Overseas Unitholders

   Only Unitholders with Singapore registered addresses will be eligible to participate in the DRP. For practical reasons and to avoid any violation of the securities laws applicable in countries outside Singapore where Unitholders may have their registered addresses, the DRP will not be offered to Overseas Unitholders (as defined in the DRP Terms and Conditions). Overseas Unitholders who wish to be eligible to participate in the DRP should provide an address in Singapore for the service of notices and documents to the Manager c/o The Central Depository (Pte) Limited, 9 North Buona Vista Drive, #01-19/20, The Metropolis, Singapore 138588, not later than three Market Days prior to the Books Closure Date. Unitholders should note that all correspondences and notices will be sent to their last registered addresses with CDP. Unitholders which are subject to the laws and regulations of jurisdictions outside Singapore shall, in participating in the DRP, be deemed to have complied with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements of the relevant jurisdictions.

   Where deduction of income tax is applicable and the Unitholders elect to receive the distributions in Units, the number of Units to be allotted under the DRP will be computed based on the distributions net of tax deducted.

3. "Notice of Election" means the one or more notices of election (in such form as the Manager may approve) which the Manager will, at its discretion, send to each Unitholder and through which each Unitholder may indicate whether they wish to participate in the DRP.

4. "Depository Register" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Companies Act, Chapter 50 of Singapore.

5. "Market Day" shall mean a day on which the SGX-ST is open for trading in securities.

6. Issue Price

   The issue price of each new Unit for this DRP will be set at a 2% discount to the volume- weighted average traded price per Unit for all trades on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the "SGX-ST") for each of the Market Days during the period of 10 Market Days prior to and ending on the Books Closure Date (the "Issue Price").

   The Manager will announce further details on the application of the DRP to the Distribution, including the Issue Price of new Units, in due course.
