rounding of odd lots. The Manager, directors of the Manager and substantial Unitholders who have control or influence over Ascendas Reit or the Manager in connection with the day-to-day affairs of Ascendas Reit or the Manager or the terms of the Preferential Offering, or have representation (direct or through a nominee) on the board of directors of the Manager will rank last in priority for the rounding of odd lots and allotment of Excess Preferential Offering New Units.

A total of 133,948,782 Preferential Offering New Units at the issue price of S$2.960 per Preferential Offering New Unit will be issued to raise gross proceeds of approximately S$396.5 million. Together with the gross proceeds of approximately S$800.0 million raised from the Private Placement, gross proceeds of a total of approximately S$1,196.5 million have been raised from the Equity Fund Raising.

1. COMMITMENT BY THE SPONSOR AND AFM
   Pursuant to the undertakings provided by each of the Sponsor and AFM (in its own capacity) who collectively owned an aggregate of approximately 19.2% of the total units in issue, the Sponsor and AFM (in its own capacity) have accepted in full their respective provisional allotments of an aggregate of 25,726,936 Preferential Offering New Units. In addition, to demonstrate its support for the Preferential Offering, the Sponsor has applied for 50,777,500 Excess Preferential Offering New Units. As the Preferential Offering was over-subscribed, the Sponsor will not be allotted any Excess Preferential Offering New Units.
   Immediately post-completion of the Preferential Offering, the Sponsor and AFM (in its own capacity) will collectively own an aggregate of 721,049,548 Units, representing approximately 17.9% of the total number of 4,018,562,150 Units in issue after the listing and quotation of the 133,948,782 Preferential Offering New Units.
2. REFUNDS
   In relation to any void or invalid acceptances of Preferential Offering New Units or any unsuccessful applications for Excess Preferential Offering New Units under the Preferential Offering, all monies received in connection therewith will be returned by CDP on behalf of Ascendas Reit to the Eligible Unitholders, without interest or any share of revenue or other benefit arising therefrom, within three (3) business days after the commencement of trading of the Preferential Offering New Units on 9 December 2020, by crediting their accounts with the relevant Participating Banks1 (where acceptance and/or application is made through Electronic Applications), the receipt by such bank being a good discharge to CDP, the Manager, HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited, as trustee of Ascendas Reit (the "Trustee") and the Joint Global Co-ordinators and Bookrunners for their obligations, if any, hereunder, or by crediting their designated bank account via CDP's Direct Crediting Service (where acceptance and/or application is made through CDP), and in each case at the Eligible Unitholders' own risk. In the event

that the Eligible Unitholder is not subscribed to CDP's Direct Crediting Service, any monies to be refunded will be retained by CDP and reflected under the Cash Transaction section of his CDP monthly account statement (the retention by CDP being a good discharge of the Manager's, the Trustee's and the Joint Global Co-ordinators and Bookrunners' obligations).
