                Explanatory notes:
                1. Ordinary Resolution 2

                  The Ordinary Resolution 2 above, if passed, will allow for the appointment of PwC as Auditor of Keppel DC REIT for the financial year ending 31 December 2017 in place of the retiring Auditor, KPMG (the "Proposed Change of Auditor") and to authorise the Manager to fix their remuneration. Information on PwC, the rationale of the Proposed Change of Auditor, the confirmations pursuant to Rule 1203(5) of the Listing Manual, the Audit and Risk Committee's statement in support of the Proposed Change of Auditor pursuant to Ordinary Resolution 2 and the Directors' recommendation are set out in the Appendix to this Notice of AGM dated 27 March 2017.

                2. Ordinary Resolutions 3 to 5

                  Keppel Capital and Keppel T&T had on 1 July 2016 provided an undertaking (the "Undertaking") to the Trustee:

                  • in relation to the Directors who are named in the final prospectus of Keppel DC REIT dated 5 December 2014, to procure the Manager to seek Unitholders' re-endorsement for the appointment of each such Director no later than the third AGM after the date of listing of Keppel DC REIT on the SGX-ST;

                  • to procure the Manager to seek Unitholders' re-endorsement for the appointment of each Director no later than every third AGM of Keppel DC REIT after the relevant general meeting at which such Director's appointment was last endorsed or re-endorsed, as the case may be;

                  • (where a person is appointed as Director, either to fill a vacancy or as an addition to the existing Directors, at any time) to procure the Manager to seek Unitholders' endorsement for his appointment as a Director at the next AGM of Keppel DC REIT immediately following his appointment; and

                  • to procure any person whose appointment as a Director has not been endorsed or re-endorsed (as the case may be) by the Unitholders at the relevant general meeting of Keppel DC REIT where the endorsement or re-endorsement (as the case may be) for his appointment was sought, to resign or otherwise be removed from the Board of Directors of the Manager either (i) within 21 days from the date of the relevant general meeting or (ii) in the event that the Board of Directors of the Manager determines that a replacement Director has to be appointed, no later than the date when such replacement Director is appointed, and the regulatory approval for such appointment (if any) has been obtained.

                    The endorsement or re-endorsement from Unitholders of any appointment of any person as a Director shall be by way of an ordinary resolution passed at the relevant general meeting. The Undertaking shall not restrict the Manager, Keppel Capital or Keppel T&T from appointing any Director from time to time in accordance with applicable laws and regulations (including any applicable rule of SGX-ST) and the Constitution of the Manager.

                    The Undertaking shall remain in force for so long as:

                  • Keppel Capital and Keppel T&T continue to hold shares in the Manager; and

                  • Keppel DC REIT Management Pte. Ltd. remains as the manager of Keppel DC REIT.

                    Notwithstanding that the Undertaking requires the Manager to seek Unitholders' re-endorsement for the appointment of each Director named in the final prospectus of Keppel DC REIT no later than the third AGM of Keppel DC REIT after the date of listing of Keppel DC REIT on the SGX-ST, the Manager is seeking the re-endorsement of the appointments of Mr Lee Chiang Huat and Mr Lim Chin Hu at the AGM to be held in 2017 so that eventually at any one AGM, only one-third of the Directors will seek re-endorsement. In addition, as Ms Christina Tan was appointed as Director on 15 September 2016, the Manager is also seeking the endorsement for her appointment at the AGM to be held in 2017.

                    Detailed information on Mr Lee Chiang Huat, Mr Lim Chin Hu and Ms Christina Tan can be found in the "Board of Directors" section in Keppel DC REIT's Annual Report 2016. Mr Lee Chiang Huat will, upon re-endorsement, continue to serve as an independent Director and the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee.

                    Mr Lim Chin Hu will, upon re-endorsement, continue to serve as an independent Director and a member of the Executive Committee.

                    Ms Christina Tan will, upon endorsement, continue to serve as a non-executive non-independent Director and a member of the Executive Committee. Mr Lee Chiang Huat and Mr Lim Chin Hu are considered by the Board to be independent Directors.

                    The list of all current directorships in other listed companies and details of other principal commitments of the abovementioned Directors are set out in pages 12 to 15 of Keppel DC REIT's Annual Report 2016.

                3. Ordinary Resolution 6

                The Ordinary Resolution 6 above, if passed, will empower the Manager from the date of this AGM until (i) the conclusion of the next AGM of Keppel DC REIT; (ii) the date on which the next AGM of Keppel DC REIT is required by the applicable regulations to be held, or (iii) the date on which such authority is revoked or varied by the Unitholders in a general meeting, whichever is the earliest (the "Mandated Period"), to issue Units, to make or grant Instruments and to issue Units pursuant to such Instruments, up to a number not exceeding 50% of the total number of issued Units of which up to 20% may be issued other than on a pro rata basis to Unitholders.

                The Ordinary Resolution 6 above, if passed, will empower the Manager to issue Units, during the Mandated Period, as either full or partial payment of fees which the Manager is entitled to receive for its own account pursuant to the Trust Deed.

                To determine the aggregate number of Units that may be issued, the percentage of issued Units will be calculated based on the total number of issued Units at the time the Ordinary Resolution 6 above is passed, after adjusting for new Units arising from the conversion or exercise of any Instruments which are outstanding or subsisting at the time the Ordinary Resolution 6 is passed and any subsequent bonus issue, consolidation or subdivision of Units.

                Fund raising by issuance of new Units may be required in instances of property acquisitions or debt repayments. In any event, if the approval of Unitholders is required under the Listing Manual and the Trust Deed or any applicable laws and regulations in such instances, the Manager will then obtain the approval of Unitholders accordingly.

                Important Notice:
                1. A Unitholder who is not a relevant intermediary entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint one or two proxies to attend and vote in his/her stead. A proxy need not be a Unitholder.

                2. Where a Unitholder appoints more than one proxy, the appointments shall be invalid unless he/she specifies the proportion of his/her holding (expressed as a percentage of the whole) to be represented by each proxy.

                3. A Unitholder who is a relevant intermediary entitled to attend the meeting and vote is entitled to appoint more than one proxy to attend and vote instead of the Unitholder, but each proxy must be appointed to exercise the rights attached to a different Unit or Units held by such Unitholder. Where such Unitholder appoints more than one proxy, the appointments shall be invalid unless the Unitholder specifies the number of Units in relation to which each proxy has been appointed in the Proxy Form (as defined below).

                  "relevant intermediary" means:

                  1. a banking corporation licensed under the Banking Act, Chapter 19 of Singapore, or a wholly-owned subsidiary of such a banking corporation, whose business includes the provision of nominee services and who holds Units in that capacity;

                  2. a person holding a capital markets services licence to provide custodial services for securities under the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore, and who holds Units in that capacity; or

                  3. the Central Provident Fund Board ("CPF Board") established by the Central Provident Fund Act, Chapter 36 of Singapore, in respect of Units purchased under the subsidiary legislation made under that Act providing for the making of investments from the contributions and interest standing to the credit of members of the Central Provident Fund, if the CPF Board holds those Units in the capacity of an intermediary pursuant to or in accordance with that subsidiary legislation.

                  4. The instrument appointing a proxy or proxies (the "Proxy Form") must be deposited at the Manager's registered office at 1 HarbourFront Avenue, #18-01 Keppel Bay Tower, Singapore 098632 not later than 15 April 2017 at 3.00 p.m., being 72 hours before the time fixed for the AGM.

                  5. Personal data privacy:

                    By submitting an instrument appointing a proxy(ies) and/or representative(s) to attend, speak and vote at the AGM and/or any adjournment thereof, a Unitholder (i) consents to the collection, use and disclosure of the Unitholder's personal data by the Manager and the Trustee (or their agents) for the purpose of the processing and administration by the Manager and the Trustee (or their agents) of proxies and representatives appointed for the AGM (including any adjournment thereof) and the preparation and compilation of the attendance lists, minutes and other documents relating to the AGM (including any adjournment thereof), and in order for the Manager and the Trustee (or their agents) to comply with any applicable laws, listing rules, regulations and/or guidelines (collectively, the "Purposes"), and (ii) warrants that where the Unitholder discloses the personal data of the Unitholder's proxy(ies) and/or representative(s) to the Manager and the Trustee (or their agents), the Unitholder has obtained the prior consent of such proxy(ies) and/or representative(s) for the collection, use and disclosure by the Manager and the Trustee (or their agents) of the personal data of such proxy(ies) and/or representative(s) for the Purposes, and (iii) agrees that the Unitholder will indemnify the Manager and the Trustee in respect of any penalties, liabilities, claims, demands, losses and damages as a result of the Unitholder's breach of warranty.
