SGX-ST Announcement

RENT REVIEW IN RELATION TO THE MASTER LEASE WITH TOSHIN DEVELOPMENT SINGAPORE PTE LTD ("TOSHIN")

YTL Starhill Global REIT Management Limited, as manager (the "Manager") of Starhill Global Real Estate Investment Trust ("Starhill Global REIT"), wishes to announce that the new base rent for the period of three years from 8 June 2022 under the Toshin Master Lease (as hereinafter defined) has been determined. The new base rent, which is equal to the existing rent, was determined in accordance with the terms of the Toshin Master Lease. The Toshin Master Lease provides for a review of the rental rate every three years during the term of the Toshin Master Lease.

Under the master lease by HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Singapore) Limited, as trustee of Starhill Global REIT to Toshin (the "Toshin Master Lease") referred to above, Toshin is the master tenant occupying all the retail areas except level five of the Ngee Ann City Property (as hereinafter defined) for the period of 12 years from 8 June 2013. Starhill Global REIT's stake in Ngee Ann City (the "Ngee Ann City Property") comprises four strata lots representing 27.23% of the total share value of strata lots in Ngee Ann City at Orchard Road, Singapore. As at 31 March 2022, the Toshin Master Lease contributed to approximately 23.0% of Starhill Global REIT's portfolio gross rent.

As the Toshin Master Lease is due to expire in June 2025, the Manager is assessing various options, including the extension of the master lease, with a focus on balancing optimal returns with income stability for Unitholders. In the event of material developments, the Manager will make the appropriate announcement on SGXNet in compliance with the Listing Manual of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited ("SGX-ST"). Unitholders of Starhill Global REIT should continue to exercise caution when dealing in the units of Starhill Global REIT.
