Investment Strategy

The Directors and Asset Manager believe that a number of active asset management initiatives and capital expenditure programmes should reposition the Property as a high quality, energy efficient building offering flexible and affordable office space.

The Directors and Asset Manager expect this will drive its rental value, income profile and WAULT and thus the Property should be more attractive to institutional property buyers.

Projected returns are primarily based on a fully let building at market rentals with completed capital expenditure programmes and using current market transaction yields.

On completion of the remedial works and repositioning of the asset, the Board will seek to optimise shareholder returns by either an outright sale of the Property or the Company; or listing the Company on the IPSX Prime market if the Directors are advised that the enhanced liquidity will provide shareholders with a choice to either exit or retain their investment at an appropriate value.
