The Managers believe that the projected increase in the number of hotel rooms over the next
three years will be mitigated by the projected increase in tourist inflow.
The following graph shows the current and expected hotel room supply in Orchard Road for
2012 to 2015:

(b) Resilient retail sector due to stable domestic demand with further upside from
increased tourist retail spending
Singapores retail sector outlook remains positive with strong domestic demand continuing toprovide a solid base of retail spending, while the rapid increase in tourist arrivals and hence
tourist retail spending will provide significant upside potential. As a result, retail trade
operating receipts are expected to grow from S$40.8 billion in 2012 to S$56.4 billion in 2017,
representing a CAGR of 6.7% according to the Independent Market Research Report.

Over the past decade, real private consumption expenditure in Singapore has also seen
consistent growth even through periods of negative GDP growth, indicating resilient
domestic retail spending regardless of economic cycles. Furthermore, the purchasing powerof the average household has also increased significantly given that the average household
size has remained at approximately 3.5 persons since 2002 while the median monthly
household income grew by 20.0% from S$5,000 in 2010 to S$6,000 in 2012 according to the
Independent Market Research Report. As such, the Managers believe domestic demand to
be strong and stable going forward, supporting retail sales growth.

Tax Considerations Distributions by OUE H-REIT
Individuals and Qualifying Stapled Securityholders (as
defined herein) receiving distributions made out of OUE
H-REITs Taxable Income will receive these distributions
without tax deduction at source (i.e. Taxable Income is given
tax transparency treatment).
The tax transparency treatment will not apply to distributions
made out of OUE H-REITs Retained Taxable Income (as
defined herein) and gains arising from the sale of properties
determined by the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore
(IRAS) to be revenue in nature. Such income (other than
capital gains arising from the sale of properties) will be taxed
at OUE H-REITs level.
Distributions made out of Taxable Income to Stapled
Securityholders who are individuals are generally exempt
from Singapore income tax regardless of the individualsnationality or tax residence status.
Distributions made up to 31 March 2015 and out of Taxable
Income to Stapled Securityholders who are foreign non-
individual investors will be subject to Singapore withholding
tax at the reduced rate of 10.0%. The withholding tax is
generally a final tax and the holders who do not have a
permanent establishment in Singapore do not need to pay
any further Singapore income tax on the distributions.
Distributions made out of Taxable Income to all other non-
individual Stapled Securityholders will be subject to incometax on the gross amount of such distributions, regardless of
whether OUE H-REIT had deducted tax from the distributions.
Where applicable, the Stapled Securityholders may claim a
tax credit for the tax deducted at source as a set-off against
their Singapore income tax liabilities.
Distributions by OUE H-BT
OUE H-BT will be assessed to Singapore income tax on its
profits, if any, derived from or accrued in Singapore.
Any distributions made by OUE H-BT out of its after tax profits

PROFIT FORECAST AND PROFIT PROJECTION
The following is an extract from Profit Forecast and Profit Projection. Statements contained in
this extract that are not historical facts may be forward-looking statements. Such statements are
based on the assumptions set forth in Profit Forecast and Profit Projection and are subject to
certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those
forecast and projected. Under no circumstances should the inclusion of such information herein
be regarded as a representation, warranty or prediction with respect to the accuracy of theunderlying assumptions by OUE H-Trust, OUE H-REIT, OUE H-BT, the REIT Manager, the REIT
Trustee, the Trustee-Manager, the Property Manager, the Sponsor, the Joint Global Coordinators,
the Joint Bookrunners or any other person, or that these results will be achieved or are likely to
be achieved. (See Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors for further details.)
Prospective investors in the Stapled Securities are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these
forward-looking statements, which are valid only as at the date of this Prospectus.
None of OUE H-Trust, OUE H-REIT, OUE H-BT, the REIT Manager, the REIT Trustee, the
Trustee-Manager, the Sponsor, the Joint Global Coordinators or the Joint Bookrunners
guarantees the performance of OUE H-Trust, OUE H-REIT or OUE H-BT, the repayment of
capital or the payment of any distributions, or any particular return on the Stapled
Securities. The forecast and projected yields stated in the following tables are calculated
based on
the Offering Price, and
the assumption that the Listing Date will be 1 July 2013.
Such yields will vary accordingly if the Listing Date is not 1 July 2013 and in relation to
investors who purchase the Stapled Securities in the secondary market at a market price
that differs from the Offering Price.
The following tables set forth the forecast and projected statements of total return of OUE H-REIT
for Forecast Period 2013 and Projection Year 2014. The financial results of OUE H-Trust is mainlycontributed by OUE H-REIT as OUE H-BT will be dormant and its results would be immaterial.
Accordingly, no profit forecast and profit projection for OUE H-BT and OUE H-Trust has been
presented. The financial year end of OUE H-REIT is 31 December. The forecast and projected
results for Forecast Period 2013 and Projection Year 2014 (the Profit Forecast and Profit
Projection) may be different to the extent that the actual date of issuance of Stapled Securities
is other than 1 July 2013, being the assumed date of the issuance of Stapled Securities for the
Offering. The Profit Forecast and Profit Projection are based on the assumptions set out in the
section Profit Forecast and Profit Projection and have been reviewed and examined by KPMG
LLP (the Reporting Auditors) and should be read together with the report set out in Appendix
A, Reporting Auditors Report on the Profit Forecast and Profit Projection, as well as the
assumptions and the sensitivity analysis set out in the section Profit Forecast and ProfitProjection.

RISK FACTORS
Prospective investors should consider carefully, together with all other information contained in
this Prospectus, the factors described below before deciding to invest in the Stapled Securities.
The risks described below are by no means exhaustive or comprehensive, and there may be other
risks in addition to those shown below which are not known to the REIT Manager and/or the
Trustee-Manager or which may not be material now but could turn out to be material in the future.
Additional risks, whether known or unknown, may in the future have a material adverse effect on
OUE H-Trust or impair the business operations of OUE H-Trust. The market price of the Stapled
Securities could decline due to any of these risks and Stapled Securityholders may lose all or part
of their investment. In addition, this Prospectus does not constitute advice to you relating to
investing in the Stapled Securities and investors should make their own judgment or consult their
own investment advisers before making any investment in the Stapled Securities.
This Prospectus also contains forward-looking statements (including profit forecasts and profit
projections) that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. The actual results of OUE H-Trust,
OUE H-REIT and/or OUE H-BT could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-
looking statements as a result of certain factors, including the risks faced by OUE H-Trust as
described below and elsewhere in this Prospectus.
Due to the fact that OUE H-Trust comprises OUE H-REIT and OUE H-BT, risk factors for OUE
H-Trust include considerations relevant to the Stapled Securities, collective investment schemes
and business trusts.
As an investment in the Stapled Securities is meant to produce returns over the long-term,
investors should not expect to obtain short-term gains.
Investors should be aware that the price of the Stapled Securities, and the income from them,
might fall or rise. Investors should note that they might not get back their original investment.
Before deciding to invest in the Stapled Securities, prospective investors should seek professional
advice from their own investment or other advisers about their particular circumstances.
RISKS RELATING TO THE HOSPITALITY AND HOSPITALITY-RELATED INDUSTRIES
The financial performance of OUE H-Trust is dependent on the conditions and outlook of
the hospitality and hospitality-related industries in the countries in which OUE H-Trust has
assets and/or operates and/or in which OUE H-Trust will have assets and/or operate.
OUE H-Trust comprises OUE H-REIT and OUE H-BT. The Initial Portfolio of OUE H-REIT
comprises Mandarin Orchard Singapore and Mandarin Gallery, both of which are located inSingapore. OUE H-BT will be dormant and therefore will not own any assets as at the Listing Date.
On the Listing Date, Mandarin Orchard Singapore will be leased to the Master Lessee pursuant
to a Master Lease Agreement under which OUE H-REIT will receive revenue in the form of rental
payments based on a Fixed Rent and a Variable Rent. However, any deterioration in the general
economic outlook for the hospitality and hospitality-related industries in Singapore may affect the
profitability of the Initial Portfolio, and this could affect (i) the ability of the Master Lessee to pay
rent in accordance with the Variable Rent calculation as set forth in the Master Lease Agreement
(see Certain Agreements Relating to OUE H-Trust, OUE H-REIT, OUE H-BT and the Properties
Master Lease Agreement for further details) or to pay the Fixed Rent; (ii) the property values
of the Initial Portfolio and therefore the NAV per Stapled Security; (iii) the ability of OUE H-REITto enter into new master lease agreements on favourable terms following the termination or

the nature and length of a typical hotel guests stay as hotel guests typically stay on a
short-term basis and there is therefore no assurance of long-term occupancy for hotel rooms.
Factors which may affect the above include:
seasonality patterns in tourism arrival numbers throughout the year;
decrease in longer-term business travel and corporate executives requiring mid- to
long-term accommodation;
frequency of events or conferences in the surrounding vicinity of Mandarin Orchard
Singapore and Mandarin Gallery or future hospitality or hospitality-related assets of
OUE H-Trust; and
slowdown in tourism, business and conferences where the Initial Portfolio is located,
which may adversely affect the length of a travellers stay;
unexpected increases in transportation or fuel costs, strikes among workers in the
transportation industry and adverse weather conditions that could affect travel;
increases in operating costs due to inflation, labour costs (including the impact of
unionisation), workers compensation and healthcare-related costs, maintenance costs,
utility costs, insurance and unanticipated costs such as those resulting from acts of nature
and their consequences;
relations between OUE H-Trust and service providers or lenders;
difficulties in identifying hospitality and hospitality-related assets to acquire and difficulties in
completing and integrating acquisitions;
the time that it may take to construct, develop or complete the refurbishments of properties
and receive registrable title to such properties and the ability to renovate the Initial Portfolioand future assets of OUE H-Trust in order to preserve or expand demand for such assets;
unfavourable publicity in relation to the Initial Portfolio and the reputation and standing of the
service providers, including restaurants, located within the Initial Portfolio and/or future
hotels and hospitality-related assets of OUE H-Trust;
loss of otherwise regular customers to newer or alternative hotels for convenience, better
services or lower room rates;
dependence on business, commercial and leisure travel and tourism, which may fluctuate
and tend to be seasonal and are subject to the adverse effects of national and internationalmarket conditions, all of which may affect the length of a travellers stay;
changes in the directors and executive officers of the REIT Manager (the REIT Manager
Directors and the REIT Manager Executive Officers, respectively) and the directors and
executive officers of the Trustee-Manager (the Trustee-Manager Directors and the
Trustee-Manager Executive Officers, respectively, and together with the REIT Manager
Directors and REIT Manager Executive Officers, the Directors and Executive Officers,
respectively);

Acts of God, wars, terrorist attacks, riots, civil commotions, widespread communicable
diseases, adverse weather conditions and other events beyond the control of OUE H-Trust
may adversely affect the financial performance of OUE H-Trust.
OUE H-Trust may be adversely affected by acts of God, wars, terrorist attacks, riots, civil
commotions, adverse weather conditions such as smog from forest fires, widespread infectious
and/or communicable diseases (including avian flu (including H1N1, H5N1 or H7N9), SARS or
MERS) and other events beyond the control of OUE H-Trust. The Managers cannot predict theextent to which these factors will, directly or indirectly, impact distributions to Stapled
Securityholders, the hospitality and hospitality-related industries or the operating results and
overall financial performance of OUE H-Trust in the future.
The World Health Organisation and certain governments may issue travel advisories against
non-essential travel to affected regions, or even impose travel restrictions. Any such travel
advisories or restrictions into, or the suspension of any transport infrastructure of, Singapore or
any other country in which OUE H-Trust has assets are likely to have a material adverse effect on
the number of international visitor arrivals and therefore the corresponding demand for hospitality
properties under OUE H-Trusts portfolio.
Accordingly, the occurrence of any such events may adversely affect the business of any
hospitality properties in OUE H-Trusts portfolio, which may in turn adversely affect OUE H-Trusts
financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to Stapled
Securityholders.
OUE H-Trusts financial performance may be affected by changes in travel patterns
resulting from increases in transportation or fuel costs, strikes among workers in the
transportation industry and adverse weather patterns.
Changes in travel patterns can be erratic and this may adversely affect the revenue and gross
operating profit of the hospitality and hospitality-related assets in OUE H-Trusts portfolio, with a
consequential impact on the revenue of OUE H-Trust and the distributions to be made to StapledSecurityholders.
Increases in transportation or fuel costs, strikes among workers in the transportation industry and
adverse weather patterns may deter travellers and the financial performance of OUE H-Trust may
be adversely affected as a consequence. These travellers represent a crucial source of income for
the hospitality and hospitality-related assets of OUE H-Trust. Any sustained or material decline in
traveller numbers may adversely affect OUE H-Trusts financial condition, results of operations
and ability to make distributions to Stapled Securityholders.
The hospitality business is a regulated business.
The operation of hospitality properties in Singapore is subject to various laws and regulations,
such as the Hotels Act, Chapter 127 of Singapore (the Hotels Act) and the Innkeepers Act,
Chapter 139 of Singapore, which hotels in Singapore are required to be licensed under. The
withdrawal, suspension or non-renewal of any of these licences, or the imposition of any penalties
as a result of any infringement or non-compliance with any requirement of any of these licences,
will have an adverse impact on the business and results of operations of the Hotel. Further, any
changes in such laws and regulations, or the imposition of any new laws and regulations, may also
have an impact on the businesses at the Hotel and result in higher costs of compliance. In
addition, any failure to comply with these laws and regulations could result in the imposition of
fines or other penalties by the relevant authorities. This could have an adverse impact on the
revenue and profits of the Hotel or otherwise adversely affect the Hotels operations and the ability
of OUE H-Trust to make distributions to Stapled Securityholders.

RISKS RELATING TO THE RETAIL INDUSTRY
The profit earned from, and the value of, the retail assets in OUE H-Trusts portfolio may be
adversely affected by a number of factors.
The revenue earned from, and the value of, the retail assets in OUE H-Trusts portfolio may be
adversely affected by a number of factors, including:
vacancies following the expiry or termination of leases that lead to lower occupancy rates
which reduce the revenue of OUE H-Trust;
the inability to collect rent from tenants on a timely basis or at all;
rental rebates given to tenants facing market pressure;
tenants seeking the protection of bankruptcy laws which could result in delays in the receipt
of rent payments, inability to collect rental income, or delays in the termination of the tenants
lease, which could hinder or delay the re-letting of the space in question;
the amount of rent payable by tenants and the terms on which lease renewals and new
leases are agreed being less favourable than current leases;
the local and international economic climate and real estate market conditions (such as
oversupply of, or reduced demand for, retail and commercial space, changes in market rental
rates and operating expenses for OUE H-Trusts properties);
inability to arrange for adequate management and maintenance or to put in place adequate
insurance (see Risk Factors Risks Relating to Investing in Real Estate The value of OUE
H-Trusts assets might be adversely affected by uninsurable loss or if any of the Sponsor, the
REIT Manager, the Master Lessee, other master lessees and/or OUE H-BT (as the case may
be) do not provide adequate management and maintenance or purchase or put in placeadequate insurance in relation to the assets of OUE H-Trust and its potential liabilities to third
parties (including potential liability claims), for further details);
competition for tenants from other properties which may affect rental levels or occupancy
levels at OUE H-Trusts properties;
changes in laws and governmental regulations in relation to real estate, including those
governing usage, zoning, taxes and government charges. Such revisions may lead to an
increase in management expenses or unforeseen capital expenditure to ensure compliance.
Rights related to the relevant properties may also be restricted by legislative actions, such
as revisions to laws relating to building standards or town planning laws, or the enactmentof new laws related to condemnation and redevelopment;
acts of God, wars, terrorist attacks, riots, civil commotions, adverse weather conditions such
as smog from forest fires and other events beyond OUE H-Trusts control; and
higher interest rates.
To the extent that any of these factors occur, they may impact the revenue earned from, and the
value of, the retail assets in OUE H-Trusts portfolio, which may in turn adversely affect the
business, financial condition, results of op
