130 Stirling Street Trust

130 Stirling Street Trust - Change to the responsible entity

Pursuant to the investor letter dated 31 January 2012, Charter Hall Direct Property Management Limited replaced Charter Hall Funds Management Limited as responsible entity of 130 Stirling Street Trust on 1 March 2012.

Aside from the change in responsible entity, the business and activities of the 130 Stirling Street Trust will remain exactly the same as previous. The restructure was undertaken to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the Charter Hall Group's compliance, corporate governance functions and outcomes associated with the responsible entity role and, to a degree, reduce administration costs. The change of responsible entity will not have any material impact on management or administration of the Trust.
