United Overseas Bank Limited (UOB), acting for Mindarie Investment Pte. Ltd. (“the Offeror”), has launched a mandatory conditional cash offer to acquire all issued and outstanding units in Alpha Integrated Real Estate Investment Trust (AI-REIT), excluding those already owned, controlled, or agreed to be acquired by the Offeror and parties acting in concert.

Key Offer Details

• Offer Price: S\$0.48 in cash for each Offer Unit.
• Closing Date: 5.30 p.m. (Singapore time) on 10 February 2026, or such later date(s) as announced by the Offeror.
• Adjustment for Distributions: If any Distribution is declared after the Offer Announcement Date (23 December 2025) and the Offer Settlement Date falls after the Record Date for such Distribution, the Offer Price will be reduced by the amount of that Distribution.
• Irrevocable Acceptance: Submission of the Form of Acceptance and Transfer (FAT) constitutes irrevocable acceptance of the Offer. Once accepted, instructions cannot be withdrawn except as allowed under the Offer Document or Singapore Code on Take-overs and Mergers.
• Required Documentation: Unitholders accepting the offer must submit the FAT, relevant confirmation notes, and other supporting documents before the Closing Date. Missing or incomplete documentation may result in rejection of acceptance.

Important Shareholder Information

• Eligibility: This offer is open to unitholders with units registered in their names and not deposited with The Central Depository (Pte) Limited (CDP). Unitholders whose units are with CDP must use a separate Form of Acceptance and Authorisation (FAA).
• Overseas Unitholders: Overseas unitholders are advised to review the specific section in the Offer Document concerning their eligibility and compliance with local laws.
• Finality and Risk: Acceptances that do not comply strictly with instructions or lack required documents may be rejected. All submissions are at the unitholder’s own risk, including transmission by mail.
• Return of Units/Documentation: If the Offer does not become unconditional, all submitted documents will be returned within 14 days of lapse.
• Payment Terms:
  • For valid acceptances received before the Offer becomes unconditional, payment will be made within seven (7) business days of that date.
  • For valid acceptances received after the Offer becomes unconditional but before the Offer closes, payment will be made within seven (7) business days of receipt.
• Personal Data: Submission of the FAT signifies consent to collection and use of personal data for purposes related to the Offer and regulatory compliance.
• Legal Jurisdiction: Acceptance is governed by Singapore law; disputes will be subject to the Singapore courts.

Potential Price-Sensitive Impacts

• Potential Change of Control: If the Offeror succeeds in acquiring a majority or all outstanding units, this may result in a change of control of AI-REIT, possibly impacting its strategy, management, and future distributions.
• Offer Price Premium: The offer price of S\$0.48 per unit may represent a premium (or discount) to the current trading price, which can impact unitholder decisions and market activity.
• Conditionality of Offer: The offer is conditional; only if certain conditions stipulated in the Offer Document are satisfied will the Offer become unconditional and proceed to settlement.
• Adjustment for Distributions: Unitholders should note any announced distributions (dividends) may reduce the effective cash received from the Offer, affecting the net value of the transaction.

Instructions for Unitholders

2. Ensure all documents required by the Offeror and Receiving Agent are submitted by hand or post before the Closing Date.
3. For units not registered in your name, additional transfer forms must be executed by the registered holder; particulars of transferee should be left blank.
4. If documents or confirmation notes are missing, contact Boardroom Corporate & Advisory Services Pte. Ltd. for assistance, and submit indemnities or statutory declarations as needed.

Special Situations

• Deceased Unitholder: Executors or administrators must register probate or letters of administration before accepting the Offer.
