1. Letter to Investors SCA Unlisted Retail Fund 2 Level 5 50 Pitt Street Sydney NSW 2000 scaproperty.com.au Dear Investor On behalf of SCA Unlisted Retail Fund RE Limited (“SURF RE”), it is our pleasure to invite you to invest in SCA Unlisted Retail Fund 2 (“SURF 2”), an unlisted property trust comprising two retail properties in New South Wales, namely Katoomba Marketplace and Mittagong Shopping Village (the “Property Portfolio”). The Offer to invest in SURF 2 is open from 19 April 2017 until the earlier of the Offer being fully subscribed and 19 May 2017 (“Closing Date”). SURF RE has absolute discretion to amend the Closing Date of the Offer, which may occur, for example, where the Offer is fully subscribed prior to 19 May 2017. SURF 2 aims to provide Investors with sustainable and stable income and the potential for capital growth through an investment in the Property Portfolio. The Katoomba Marketplace is a freestanding centre fully leased to Woolworths Limited, trading as a Woolworths supermarket and a Big W discount department store. The anchor tenant of the Mittagong Shopping Centre is Woolworths Limited (trading as Dan Murphy’s), and the centre currently has five specialty tenants. While this investment is subject to risk, SURF 2 offers: • Attractive yield: a forecast initial distribution yield of 7.0% per annum • Secure lease covenant: 94% of income backed by long term leases to Woolworths Limited with a weighted average lease expiry greater than 17 years, as at 31 March 2017 • High quality retail properties: average age of 6.5 years The Property Portfolio was valued at $55.1 million by independent valuer (Savills) as at March 2017 which reflects a weighted average capitalisation rate of 6.45%. The Property Portfolio will be acquired on arm’s length terms from SCA Property Group at that valuation. SURF 2 will have an initial fund term of 5 years. It may be extended if a Special Resolution is passed by Investors. Irrespective of the extension of SURF 2, one or both of the Properties may be sold before the expiry of the fund term if such disposal is considered to be in the best interests of Investors. SURF RE is a 100% owned subsidiary of SCA Property Group. As at 31 March 2017, SCA Property Group owned and managed a total portfolio of 79 retail properties and shopping centres anchored by Woolworths Limited and Wesfarmers Limited. SCA Property Group is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX: SCP) with a market capitalisation of over $1.6 billion as at 31 March 2017. It is important that you read this Product Disclosure Statement carefully before deciding whether to invest in SURF 2. You should consider consulting your financial adviser or other professional advisers. Yours faithfully Andrew Stevenson Anthony Mellowes Independent Chairman CEO and Executive Director SCA Unlisted Retail Fund RE Limited SCA Property Group RE Limited Executive Director SCA Unlisted Retail Fund RE Limited 3
2. Key Features of the Fund Attractive yield of 7.0% SURF 2 is forecast to deliver an initial distribution yield of 7.0% for the years ending 30 June 2018 and 30 June 2019, with distributions payable quarterly in arrears. This forecast distribution level compares favourably to prevailing income returns on term deposits, government bonds and shares in companies listed on the ASX. In addition, approximately 30% of the distributions are expected to be “tax deferred”. For further information on the tax implications of investing in SURF 2, refer to section 14. Secure lease covenants backed by Woolworths Limited Woolworths Limited is the lessee in respect of 94% of the current rental income of SURF 2. There are two leases with Woolworths Limited as the lessee, a combined lease for Woolworths and Big W at Katoomba, and the other for Dan Murphy’s at Mittagong. The remaining terms of these leases range from 15 to 18 years, with the Property Portfolio having a weighted average lease expiry (“WALE”) of greater than 17 years. On the basis of the rent review provisions in the leases, the potential for growth in distributions over the 5 year term of SURF 2 is expected to be minimal. This should be balanced with considering the credit worthiness of Woolworths Limited, the long-term nature of the leases as well as lease extension options, as outlined in section 5. The remaining 6% of rental income comes from five specialty tenants at the Mittagong Shopping Village. For more information in relation to the specialty tenancies, see section 5. High quality retail properties SURF 2 will hold two retail properties with an average age of 6.5 years as at 31 March 2017. The anchor tenants are a Woolworths supermarket, a Big W discount department store, and a Dan Murphy’s liquor store. The anchor tenant under each lease is Woolworths Limited. For more information in relation to the Properties, see section 5. Experienced manager The Manager of SURF 2 is SCA Operations, a wholly owned subsidiary of SCA Property Group. SCA Property Group was demerged out of Woolworths Limited and listed on the ASX in December 2012 as an independent Australian real estate investment trust (“A-REIT”). As at 31 March, 2017, SCA Property Group managed over $2.2 billion of retail assets in Australia and had a market capitalisation of over $1.6 billion. Since listing SCA Property Group has been one of the strongest performing A-REITs on the ASX, generating a total unitholder return in excess of 100% for its investors. SCA Operations is also the manager of the SURF 1 unlisted property fund, which has delivered its unitholders an annual return in excess of 8% since it launched in October 2015. Risks There are risks associated with this investment, including property investment risks, diversification and tenant concentration risks, debt and refinancing risks, fund investment risks and other general investment risks. For more information in relation to these risks, please refer to section 9. 4 SCA Unlisted Retail Fund 2 Product Disclosure Statement 19 April 2017
