ANNOUNCEMENT

(I) NOTICE OF BOOKS CLOSURE AND DISTRIBUTION PAYMENT DATE

(II) APPLICATION OF DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN TO THE DISTRIBUTION FOR

THE DISTRIBUTION PERIOD FROM 1 JULY 2013 TO 31 DECEMBER 2013

NOTICE OF BOOKS CLOSURE AND DISTRIBUTION PAYMENT DATE

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT the Transfer Books and Register of Unitholders of

CapitaRetail China Trust (“CRCT”) will be closed on 7 February 2014 at 5.00 p.m. (the “Books

Closure Date”) to determine the entitlements of the unitholders of CRCT (“Unitholders”) to

CRCT’s distributable income of 4.33 cents per unit in CRCT (“Unit”) for the period from 1 July

2013 to 31 December 2013 (the “Distribution”).

Unitholders whose securities accounts with The Central Depository (Pte) Limited are credited with

Units as at the Books Closure Date will be entitled to the Distribution to be paid on 27 March 2014.

The Distribution comprises the two components of:

(a) capital distribution of 1.84 cents; and

(b) tax exempt income distribution of 2.49 cents.

Capital distribution represents a return of capital to Unitholders for Singapore income tax purposes

and is therefore not subject to Singapore income tax. For Unitholders who are liable to Singapore

income tax on profits from sale of Units, the amount of capital distribution will be applied to reduce

the cost base of their Units for Singapore income tax purposes.

Tax exempt income distribution is exempt from Singapore income tax in the hands of all

Unitholders. No tax will be deducted from such distribution.

DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT PLAN

CapitaRetail China Trust Management Limited, as manager of CRCT (the “Manager”), wishes to

announce that the distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRP”) will apply to the Distribution.

2

The DRP provides Unitholders with the option to receive their Distribution, either in the form of Units or cash or a combination of both. A Unitholder will have the following options in respect of his Distribution:

elect to receive a cash distribution on his existing Units held; or

elect to receive an allotment of Units credited as fully paid in lieu of the cash amount of the distribution entitlement for the distribution period from 1 July 2013 to 31 December 2013 only; or

elect to receive an allotment of Units credited as fully paid in lieu of part of the cash amount of the distribution entitlement and the remaining distribution entitlement in cash.

Units to be issued under the DRP will be issued under the Unit issue mandate to issue Units pursuant to the DRP obtained from Unitholders at the Annual General Meeting of CRCT held on 18 April 2013. A statement, containing the terms and conditions of the DRP, is attached in the Appendix (the “DRP Terms and Conditions”). 1. Notice of Election

The Notices of Election

1 will be sent to Unitholders registered in the Depository Register

2

as at the Books Closure Date on 7 February 2014. Unitholders who wish to participate in the DRP will have to complete the Notice of Election and send it to the unit registrar of CRCT, Boardroom Corporate & Advisory Services Pte. Ltd. (the “Unit Registrar”), 50 Raffles Place, #32-01 Singapore Land Tower, Singapore 048623 (Telephone number: +65 6536 5355), such that it is received by 5.00 p.m. on 4 March 2014. Unitholders who wish to receive their Distribution in cash need not take any action. Unitholders who wish to participate in the DRP and do not receive the Notice of Election within three Market Days

3 after the expected date of despatch on 17 February 2014 may

obtain a copy from the Unit Registrar.

2. Overseas Unitholders Only Unitholders with Singapore registered addresses will be eligible to participate in the DRP. For practical reasons and to avoid any violation of the securities laws applicable in countries outside Singapore where Unitholders may have their registered addresses, the DRP will not be offered to Overseas Unitholders (as defined in the DRP Terms and Conditions). Overseas Unitholders who wish to be eligible to participate in the DRP should provide an address in Singapore for the service of notices and documents to the Manager c/o The Central Depository (Pte) Limited (“CDP”), 4 Shenton Way, #02-01, SGX Centre 2, Singapore 068807, not later than three Market Days prior to the Books Closure Date. Unitholders should note that all correspondences and notices will be sent to their last registered addresses with CDP. Unitholders which are subject to the laws and regulations of jurisdictions outside Singapore shall, in participating in the DRP, be deemed to have complied with all applicable legal and regulatory requirements of the relevant jurisdictions.

1 “Notice of Election” means the one or more notices of election (in such form as the Manager may approve) which the

Manager will, at its discretion, send to each Unitholder and through which each Unitholder may indicate whether they

wish to participate in the DRP.

2 “Depository Register” shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Companies Act, Chapter 50 of Singapore.

3 “Market Day” shall mean a day on which the SGX-ST is open for trading in securities.

3

Where deduction of income tax is applicable and the Unitholders elect to receive the

distributions in Units, the number of Units to be allotted under the DRP will be computed

based on the distributions net of tax deducted.

3. Issue Price

The issue price of each new Unit for this DRP will be set at a 2% discount to the volume-

weighted average traded price per Unit for all trades on Singapore Exchange Securities

Trading Limited (the “SGX-ST”) for each of the Market Days during the period of 10 Market

Days prior to and ending on the Books Closure Date (the “Issue Price”).

The Manager will announce further details on the application of the DRP to the Distribution,

including the Issue Price of new Units, in due course.

Important Notice

This Announcement is for information only and does not constitute an invitation or offer to acquire, purchase or subscribe

for Units. This Announcement is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States

(including its territories and possessions, any state of the United States and the District of Columbia), Canada or Japan.

This Announcement is not an offer of securities for sale into the United States, Canada or Japan. The securities referred to

herein have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and may not be offered

or sold in the United States, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration. Any public offering of securities

made in the United States would be made by means of a prospectus that may be obtained from the Manager and would

contain detailed information about the Manager and CRCT, as well as financial statements. No public offering of securities

is being made in the United States.

The value of Units and the income derived from them, if any, may fall as well as rise. Units are not obligations of, deposits

in, or guaranteed by, the Manager or any of its affiliates. An investment in Units is subject to investment risks, including

the possible loss of the principal amount invested.

Investors should note that they will have no right to request the Manager to redeem or purchase their Units for so long as

the Units are listed on the SGX-ST. It is intended that Unitholders may only deal in their Units through trading on the

SGX-ST. Listing of the Units on the SGX-ST does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units.

The past performance of CRCT is not necessarily indicative of the future performance of CRCT.
