The Meeting of Board of Directors of WHA Real Estate Management Co., Ltd. (the Company and/or
REIT Manager) in its capacity as the REIT Manager of WHA Premium Growth Freehold and Leasehold
Real Estate Investment Trust (WHART) on 29 January 2018 passed a resolution to call an Extraordinary
General Meeting of Trust Unitholders of WHART No.1/2018 on 27 February 2018 at 14.00 at the Grand
Fortune Room, 3rd Floor, The Grand Mercure Bangkok Fortune Hotel, located at 1 Ratchadaphisek Road,
Dindaeng, Bangkok 10400 (the Meeting) to consider the following agenda:
1. To consider and certify the minutes of the previous trust unitholders’ meeting
The REIT Manager convened the extraordinary general meeting of the trust unitholders no.1/2017 on
13 July 2017 at 14.00 at Grand Fortune Room, 3rd Floor, The Grand Mercure Bangkok Fortune Hotel, located
at 1, Ratchadaphisek Road, Dindaeng, Bangkok. A copy of the minutes of the extraordinary general meeting
of the trust unitholders no.1/2017 is attached hereto as Enclosure No. 1.
REIT Manager’s opinion
The REIT Manager proposed that the Meeting consider and certify the minutes of the extraordinary
general meeting of the trust unitholders No.1/2017, as appeared in the Enclosure No. 1.
Resolution
Approval of this matter requires a majority of votes by trust unitholders who are present and eligible
to vote.
2. To consider and approve an issuance and offering of debentures for the purpose of
prepaying/repaying loans owed by WHART
Purpose and reason
From the establishment of WHART until the present, WHART has sought finances from financial
institutions to inject into its investment projects. The total outstanding principal of loans owed by WHART (as
1
2
of 30 September 2017) is THB 7,715.75 million. Set out below is a list of the loan agreements between WHART
and the lenders:
1. Loans for initial investment (the Cap1 Loan Agreements):
(1) the loan agreement between WHART and Kasikornbank Public Company Limited
(KBank) dated 12 December 2014; and
(2) the loan agreement between WHART and Bank of Ayudhya Public Company Limited
(BAY) dated 12 December 2014;
2. Loans for the second investment (the Cap2 Loan Agreements):
(1) the loan agreement between WHART and KBank dated 25 December 2015; and
(2) the loan agreement between WHART and Muang Thai Life Assurance Public
Company Limited dated 25 December 2015;
3. Loan for the third investment (the Cap3 Loan Agreement): the loan agreement between
WHART and KBank dated 2 December 2016; and
4. Loan for the fourth investment (the Cap4 Loan Agreement): the loan agreement between
WHART and KBank dated 24 November 2017,
(all items under 1-4 above are collectively referred to as the Loan Agreements).
Currently, the market coupon rate on debentures tends to be lower than the lending interest rates
imposed by the Loan Agreements. Therefore, to minimise WHART’s financial costs, the Company’s Board of
Directors passed a resolution for WHART to issue and offer debentures in accordance with the Notification of
the Capital Market Supervisory Board No. Thor. Chor. 82/2558 Re: Application for and Approval of Offer for
Sale of Newly Issued Debentures of Real Estate Investment Trust dated 2 December 2015 (as amended), in
order to use the proceeds received from an offering of debentures to prepay and/or repay WHART’s loans
under the Loan Agreements or other outstanding debts of WHART, and also to make payment of all other
costs, fees and expenses relating to the offering of the debentures.
(1) Key features of the proposed issue
Use of Proceeds : To prepay and/or repay loans under the Loan Agreements or other
outstanding debts of WHART (either for the purpose of
refinancing or making payment on the due date), and to pay all
other costs, fees and expenses relating to the offering of debentures
Offering : Debentures may be offered onshore and/or offshore to the public
and/or institutional investors and/or high net worth investors and/or
by private placement in one or several tranches and occasions. Debentures may be offered to the existing trust unitholders whose
debentures will soon become mature or redeemable before the
maturity date. However, each offering must comply with
applicable laws, rules, notifications and requirements imposed by
2
3
the relevant government agencies and authorities, including the
requirements to acquire permits, approvals and consents
Type : Debentures may be registered or unregistered, unsubordinated,
secured or unsecured, amortised or bullet, with or without a
debentureholders’ representative; however, this mainly depends
on the market condition at the actual time of the issuance and
offering of such debentures
Amount : At any time, not exceeding THB 8,000 million (on a revolving
basis)
Currency : Baht-denominated
Tenor : Not exceeding seven (7) years
Coupon rate : Fixed rate throughout the term of debentures, depending on the
suitability and market condition at the time of such offering
In this connection, the REIT Manager will have the powers and authorities to do the following:
(i) determine terms, details and other conditions relating to the issuance and offering of
debentures, e.g. name of debenture, offering methodology, number of debentures to be issued at each offering,
type of debentures, security, offering price per unit, tenor, maturity date, early redemption, coupon rate,
payment terms in respect of the outstanding principal and accrued interest, allocation procedure and offering
details and etc.; and
(ii) negotiate, agree, sign and execute any or all documents relating to the offering of
debentures, with powers to take all relevant necessary steps, including preparing, signing and filing all
applications, registration statement and other documents with the Office of the Securities and Exchange
Commission of Thailand and other related authorities, registering the debentures with the Stock Exchange of
Thailand and/or the Thai Bond Market Association or any secondary market, and doing all acts and things
necessary or in connection with the issuance and offering of debentures until its completion and in compliance
with applicable laws.
(2) Principles for each offering of debentures
The REIT Manager has established key principles for each offering of WHART debentures as
follows:
(i) the coupon rate must be appropriate;
(ii) the financial costs of WHART must be reduced when comparing with the interest
payment under the Loan Agreements or other debts which will be prepaid/repaid by the proceeds received from
the offering of debentures, also taking into account all other costs, fees and expenses incurred by WHART in
relation to such offering of debentures; and
(iii) the timing for the offering of debentures must be appropriate.

(3) Initial offering
After the Meeting approves the issuance and offering of debentures by WHART, the REIT
Manager has a plan to issue the debentures in one or more tranches in an amount not exceeding THB 4,200
million to: (i) prepay all outstanding debts under the Cap1 Loan Agreement and the Cap3 Loan Agreement, (ii) partially prepay debt under the Cap4 Loan Agreement and (iii) release the relevant security assets provided
under the Loan Agreements mentioned in (i) – (ii) above. The initial offering of debentures will follow the
principles stated in (2) above. The REIT Manager is now considering the appointment of an arranger(s) for the
initial offering. Initially, there are two candidates, namely Kasikornbank Public Company Limited (which is a
connected person related to the Trustee) and Phatra Securities Public Company Limited. However, the REIT
Manager has the sole discretion to appoint other entities as arranger as it thinks fit.
(4) Subsequent offerings
Upon completion of the initial offering, the REIT Manager will consider issuing the next
tranches of debentures when it deems appropriate in order to prepay/repay the outstanding debt under the Cap2
Loan Agreement and the remaining debt under the Cap4 Loan agreement and to release the relevant security
assets provided under each such Loan Agreements or to prepay/repay other outstanding debts owed by
WHART. Subsequent offerings of debentures will also adhere to the above key principles stated in (2) above.
After the Meeting approves the proposed offering of debentures, the REIT Manager will take further
steps to prepare and file the registration statement and prospectus, together with other related documents with
the Office of SEC.
REIT Manager’s opinion
The REIT Manager considers the pros and cons of the proposed offering as follows:
1. Expected benefits for WHART
1.1 Information available to the REIT Manager indicated that the financial costs relating
to the issue of debentures by other REITs ranking the same as WHART in credit rating are currently lower
than the financial costs associated with WHART’s loans. Therefore, compared to the current loans owed by
WHART, the proposed offering of debentures is expected to incur lower financial costs. When the financial
costs are minimised, there is much prospect that WHART’s operational performance will improve.
1.2 As mentioned above, WHART intends to use the proceeds of the proposed offering to
prepay/repay its loans and to release the related security interests. As a result, WHART will be able to recover
its assets and property free of encumbrances, which may be further put forward to secure additional finances
to support its investment projects in the future. This can assure WHART of multiple alternatives in forecasting
the proportion of borrowings to capital increase in the future.
1.3 Issuing debentures functions as a mechanism for raising funds from a new source; this
will expand WHART’s current investor base towards debt securities investors.
2. Possible effects on accounting
Certain effects on accounting are unavoidable if WHART uses the proceeds of the debentures
issuance to pay debt. According to bookkeeping standards relating to loans and borrowings, where the lender
4
5
collects a front-end fee from the borrower in respect of any loan granted, the front-end fee must be regularly
amortised throughout the term of that loan. In this regard, if WHART issues debentures and uses the proceeds
of the issuance to repay its loans, deferred expenses on the front-end fee associated with those loans will be
fully amortised as at the date of loan repayment. Technically, amortisation costs incurred by WHART
constitute accounting costs, rather than cash expenses. As a result, WHART’s capital will be significantly reduced in order to set aside funds for distributing investment yields to trust unitholders for the operating
period within which the offering of debentures takes effect. In the opinion of the REIT Manager, this is a side
effect on accounting that will exist temporarily in the financial period during which the offering of debentures
is launched.
As described above, the proposed offering of debentures can help minimise WHART’s
financial costs and enable it to recover assets and property free of encumbrances, which makes multiple
alternatives for WHART to determine an appropriate proportion of borrowings to capital increase in the future. In terms of accounting, it is foreseeable that the distribution of investment yields to investors will result in a
great reduction in WHART’s capital; however, such effect will last for a very short time during the launching
of the offering. For the above reasons, the REIT Manager advises WHART that the issuance of debentures is
a good alternative for the purpose of minimising its financial costs.
Resolution
Approval of this matter requires a majority of votes by trust unitholders who are present and eligible
to vote.
3. To consider other matters (if any)
Now and therefore, you are gracefully invited to attend the Meeting on 27 February 2018 at 14.00 at
Grand Fortune Room, 3rd Floor, The Grand Mercure Bangkok Fortune Hotel, located at 1, Ratchadaphisek
Road, Dindaeng, Bangkok 10400. The REIT Manager will prescribe the list of Trust unitholders eligible to
attend WHART Extraordinary Trust Unitholders' Meeting No. 1/2018 on 13 February 2018 (Record Date) for
the preparation of the list of Trust unitholders entitled to attend WHART Extraordinary Trust Unitholders'
Meeting No. 1/2018.
