Vicinity Centres (Vicinity) is an Australian Real Estate Investment Trust (A-REIT) that trades on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the code ‘VCX’. Vicinity is a stapled security structure, with each security comprised of one share in a company, Vicinity Limited, stapled to one unit in a trust, Vicinity Centres Trust. The shares and units cannot be dealt with or traded separately.

Vicinity Centres Trust is defined as a managed investment scheme and accordingly certain disclosure requirements apply. This page provides disclosure relevant to Periodic Statements in accordance with s1017D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth).

These disclosures should not be relied upon for the purpose of the preparation of Australian income tax returns. In late August/early September each year, securityholders will be sent their Annual taxation statement which contains the information required to complete an Australian income tax return.

Securityholders can access information about their holding, including the number of securities held and dates of any transactions, through Link Market Services:

Phone: +61 1300 887 890

Securityholders can obtain information about the prices at which they have transacted Vicinity securities from the broker or financial adviser who completes the trade.

The total fees represent the estimated total fees and costs incurred by each securityholder for their investment in Vicinity securities. They comprise the fees which have been charged directly to the securityholder (which amount to zero for the period) and the indirect costs which have not been deducted directly from the securityholder’s account.

Indirect costs include costs such as accounting, corporate costs, custody, employee benefits expenses, office costs, registry, and other administrative fees. They do not include costs that would be incurred if an investor invested directly into Vicinity’s assets, or management costs paid or payable by one member of the Vicinity group to other members of the Vicinity group.

The estimated indirect costs¹ for the 12 months ended 30 June 2021, are as follows:

1 Securityholders can calculate their own estimated indirect costs by multiplying the ‘Indirect costs per security’ (from the table above) by their average holding balance during the 12 months ended 30 June 2021.

Security Price

Distributions

Vicinity paid two distributions in relation to the 12 months to 30 June 2021 totalling 10.0 cents per security as follows:

Return on investment

Return on investment, or total securityholder return, is estimated as the combination of security price movement from the opening security price, plus distributions (assumed to be reinvested), over the period, expressed as a percentage. For the 12 months to 30 June 2021, the calculation for Vicinity is 15.0%.

The above calculation is unlikely to reflect the actual transaction dates and prices of securityholders, nor does it take into account any brokerage or other costs that may have been incurred. Vicinity does not have access to the prices at which securityholders have executed their transactions and the related costs. Securityholders may calculate their return on investment by obtaining such information about their own transactions from their broker or financial adviser.
