CDL Hospitality Trusts

CDL Hospitality Trusts is a stapled group comprising CDL Hospitality Real Estate Investment Trust (“H-REIT”), a real estate investment trust and CDL Hospitality Business Trust (“HBT”), a business trust. H-REIT, the first hotel real estate investment trust (“REIT”) in Singapore, is established with the principal investment strategy of investing, directly or indirectly, in a diversified portfolio of income-producing real estate which is primarily used for hospitality and/or hospitality-related purposes, whether wholly or partially, and real estate-related assets in relation to the foregoing. The initial asset portfolio of H-REIT, as at the Listing Date, comprises Orchard Hotel, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, M Hotel and Copthorne King’s Hotel, all of which are located in Singapore and marketed as “superior” hotels, with a total of over 1,900 rooms as at 9 June 2006, as well as Orchard Hotel Shopping Arcade, the shopping arcade adjoining Orchard Hotel. Orchard Hotel Shopping Arcade is included in H-REIT’s portfolio as it is complementary to the guest facilities at the Orchard Hotel, providing shopping and leisure facilities to hotel guests. HBT is a business trust which will be dormant at at Listing Date. It exists primarily as “a master lessee of last resort” and will become active if H-REIT is unable to appoint a master lessee for any of the Hotels in its portfolio at the expiry of the relevant master lease agreement or for a newly acquired hotel. HBT may also become active if it undertakes certain hospitality and hospitality-related development projects, acquisitions and investments which may not be suitable for H-REIT.
