How to sell your units into the Limited Liquidity Facility
Limited Liquidity Facility

APN Funds Management Limited (APN), through its APN Property For Income Funds (the Funds), provides GPTA's Limited Liquidity Facility (LLF) which was clearly disclosed in the PDS.

APN has advised Grocon Investment Management Pty Ltd (GIM) that it wishes to suspend the LLF upon competition of the September 2008 Quarter's transfers.

The requirement for a suspension is unfortunate and largely outside the control of GPTA or the Funds. The much publicised issues within the property sector, stemming from the "US subprime loans" and subsequent lack of liquidity within the funding markets have contributed significantly to market uncertainties and the suspension of the facility.

GIM will revisit the suspension in late June next year in conjunction with APN. In the interim, GIM will continue to explore ways of providing liquidity to GPTA Units. GIM till keep Investors informed of progress in this area, as we understand its importance to Unitholders.

The LLF for the quarter ending 30 September 2008 will close on Wednesday 24 September 2008 at 5.00pm (Melbourne time). All investors wishing to avail themselves of this facility during the period will need to ensure their duly completed and signed standard transfer form is received by the Investment Manager by the date noted.

Please note that the total number of Units that may be transferred to APN per quarter is 1.25% of the Units on issue (the Limit). Eligible Applications will be considered in the order of receipt. In the event of oversubscription, Eligible Applications received after the Limit is reached will be returned to Unitholders.
