Date 28/08/2020

In response to media queries received in relation to the proposed merger of ESR REIT and Sabana REIT, MAS would like to clarify that our regulatory framework does not prohibit a shareholder group from owning substantial stakes in two REIT managers managing REITs invested in the same property class. Under the Securities and Futures Act, there are regulatory safeguards to mitigate potential conflicts of interest:

- Boards of REIT managers must comprise at least half independent directors where unitholders do not have the right to vote on the appointment of directors to the board.
