The past performance of the Units and CapitaCommercial Trust Management Limited (the CCT Manager ) is not indicative of the future performance of CCT and the CCT Manager. Predictions, projections or forecasts of the economy or economic trends of the markets are not necessarily indicative of the future or likely performance of CCT. The value of the Units and the income derived from them may fall as well as rise. Units are not obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed by, the CCT Manager. An investment in Units is subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Investors have no right to request that the CCT Manager redeem or purchase their Units while the Units are listed. Unitholders may only deal in their Units through trading on Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (the SGX-ST ). Listing of the Units on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units. A circular dated 5 November 2007 (the Circular ) setting out the details of the proposed acquisition of the Property known as Wilkie Edge (as defined in the Circular), together with the notice of an extraordinary general meeting of the holders of Units ( Unitholders ), has been despatched to Unitholders. This presentation is qualified in its entirety by, and should be read in conjunction with, the full text of the Circular. Terms not defined in this presentation adopt the meanings in the Circular. This presentation may contain forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Representative examples of these factors include (without limitation) general industry and economic conditions, interest rate trends, cost of capital and capital availability, competition from similar developments, shifts in expected levels of property rental income, changes in operating expenses (including employee wages, benefits and training costs), property expenses and governmental and public policy changes. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on the CCT Manager s current view of future events. All forecasts are based on the CCT Manager s assumptions as explained in Appendix 1 of the Circular. The major assumptions are certain expected levels of property rental income and property expenses over the relevant periods, which are considered by the CCT Manager to be appropriate and reasonable as at the date of the Circular. The forecast financial performance of CCT is not guaranteed and there is no certainty that it can be achieved. Investors should read the whole of the Circular for details of the forecasts and projections and consider the assumptions used and make their own assessment of the future performance of CCT.

No representation, warranty, express or implied, is made as to, and no reliance should be placed on, the fairness, accuracy, completeness or correctness of the information and opinions in this presentation. None of the CCT Manager or any of its agents or advisers, or any of their respective affiliates, advisers or representatives, shall have any liability (in negligence or otherwise) for any loss howsoever arising from any use of this presentation or its contents or otherwise arising in connection with this presentation. 2
