Author's Note
The quarterly DPU of 2.361 cents will be paid on 28 Feb 2011. Book closure is on 28 Jan 2011.

Note that the above estimated Distribution is computed on the basis that none of the Convertible Bonds are converted into Units before the Books Closure Date. Accordingly, the actual quantum of the Distribution may differ from the above estimated Distribution if any of the Convertible Bonds are converted into Units before the Books Closure Date. The actual quantum of the Distribution will be announced by 9 February 2011, after the closure of the Transfer Books and Register of Unitholders.

The DPU was 2.36 cents in the previous quarter.
