Introduction & Corporate information Lendlease Global Commercial REIT (“LREIT”) is a Singapore real estate investment trust constituted by the Trust Deed dated 28 January 2019 (as amended). It is principally regulated by the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore, the Code on Collective Investment Schemes issued by the MAS (“CIS Code”), including Appendix 6 of the CIS Code (the “Property Funds Appendix”), other relevant regulations and the Trust Deed. LREIT was listed on the Mainboard of Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited (“SGX-ST”) on 2 October 2019 (“Listing Date”). The Sponsor, Lendlease Corporation Limited (“Sponsor” or “Lendlease Corporation”), is part of the Lendlease Group, comprising Lendlease Corporation, Lendlease Trust and their subsidiaries (the “Lendlease Group”, and the Sponsor and its subsidiaries, the “Sponsor Group”). Lendlease Group is a leading international property and infrastructure group with operations in Australia, Asia, Europe and the Americas and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. Lendlease Global Commercial Trust Management Pte. Ltd. (the “Manager”) is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Sponsor. The Trustee of LREIT is RBC Investor Services Trust Singapore Limited (the “Trustee”). LREIT is established with the principal investment strategy of investing, directly or indirectly, in a diversified portfolio of stabilised income-producing real estate assets located globally, which are used primarily for retail and/or office purposes, as well as real estate-related assets in connection with the foregoing. LREIT’s property portfolio comprises a leasehold interest in one retail mall located in Singapore and a freehold interest in three office buildings located in Milan, Italy (the “Properties”). The details of each of these properties are as follows:
(i) a 99-year leasehold1 interest in 313@somerset, which is a retail mall located in Singapore (the “313@somerset”); and
(ii) a freehold interest in Sky Complex, which comprises three office buildings located in Milan, Italy (the “Sky Complex”).
LREIT holds a 5.0% stake in Lendlease Asian Retail Investment Fund 3 Limited (“ARIF 3”)2, which holds a 75.0% indirect interest in the property known as Jem. Jem is an integrated office and retail development located in Jurong Gateway, the commercial hub of the Jurong Lake District, Singapore.
The Manager had made announcements on 9 April 2020 and 20 April 2020 respectively, with regard to the IPO profit and distribution forecast for the financial year ending 30 June 2020 (“FY2020”) and the profit and distribution projection for the financial year ending 30 June 2021 (“FY2021”), as it may no longer be a fair basis against which the actual performance of LREIT could be compared given current circumstances. Footnotes: 1. Commencing on 21 November 2006 and ending on 20 November 2105.
2. ARIF 3 is managed by an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the sponsor of LREIT. Management fees will be paid at the respective levels and will not be double counted.

Condensed Interim Financial Statements Presentation
As disclosed in the Prospectus, SGX-ST granted LREIT a waiver from compliance with Rule 705(2)(b) of the SGX-ST Listing Manual in relation to the announcement of results for the financial quarter ended 30 September 2019 on the basis that LREIT did not have any meaningful financial results for the quarter as it was a private trust and the Properties had not been acquired. Accordingly, LREIT announced its first financial results on 10 February 2020 for the period from the Listing Date to 31 December 2019. LREIT was dormant from its date of constitution, 28 January 2019 to the Listing Date.
Any discrepancies in the tables included in this announcement between the listed amounts and the totals thereof are due to rounding. Distribution Policy LREIT intends to make distributions to Unitholders semi-annually and will distribute at least 90.0% of its adjusted net cashflow from operations for each financial year. The actual level of distribution will be determined at the Manager’s discretion. The second distribution for FY2021 will be for the period from 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2021 and will be paid on or before 30 September 2021. LREIT intends to distribute 100.0% of LREIT’s adjusted net cashflow from operations for the period from the Listing Date to the end of 30 June 2021.

3. Finance costs comprise mainly interest expense and amortisation of debt-related transaction costs.
4. All transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the Properties have been capitalised in accordance with
IAS 40. This is then recorded as a fair value change in the profit or loss statement from revaluation of investment properties. This is a non-tax chargeable/deductible item and therefore does not affect income available for distribution to Unitholders.
5. Comprises net change in fair value of equity instrument through profit or loss. This is a non-tax chargeable/deductible item and therefore does not affect income available for distribution to Unitholders.
6. Comprises mainly net change in fair value of interest rate swaps, options and currency forwards which were entered to hedge interest rate and foreign exchange risks. This is a non-tax chargeable/deductible item and therefore does not affect income available for distribution to Unitholders.
7. On 4 June 2021, LREIT issued $200 million of perpetual securities with no fixed final redemption date. The perpetual securities confer a right to its holders to receive distribution payments at a rate of 4.20% per annum, with the first
distribution rate reset falling on 4 June 2026 and subsequent resets occurring every 5 years thereafter. Distributions are payable semi-annually in arrears on a discretionary basis and are non-cumulative in accordance with the terms and conditions of the perpetual securities.
8. Comprises Manager’s base fee and performance fee paid/payable in units, property management fee paid/payable in units, net change in fair value of investment properties, investment property under development, equity instrument and
derivative financial instruments, amortisation of debt-related transaction costs, incentive amounts, acquisition costs for equity instrument and other adjustments related to non-cash or timing differences in income and expenses.
Footnote: 1. Foreign source distribution mainly pertains to income from Sky Complex. Any income from this property that has not
been distributed to LREIT by the date LREIT makes distribution to its Unitholders will constitute a capital distribution.

Basis of Preparation
The condensed interim financial statements for the six months and full year ended 30
June 2021 have been prepared in accordance with the IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting
issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”) and should be read in
conjunction with the Group’s last annual consolidated financial statements as at and for
the period ended 30 June 2020.
The condensed interim financial statements do not include all the information required
for a complete set of financial statements. However, selected explanatory notes are
included to explain events and transactions that are significant to an understanding of
the changes in the Group’s financial position and performance of the Group since the
last unaudited financial statements for the period ended 31 December 2020.
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of previous financial period
which were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standard
(“IFRS”) except for the adoption of new and amended standard as set out below.
The condensed interim financial statements are presented in Singapore dollars (“S$”),
which is the functional currency of LREIT. All financial information presented in Singapore

New and amended standards adopted by the Group
A number of amendments to Standards have become applicable for the current reporting
period. The Group did not have to change its accounting policies or make retrospective
adjustments as a result of adopting those standards.
Use of estimates and judgements
In preparing the condensed interim financial statements, management has made
judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies
and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may
differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to
accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and
in any future periods affected.
Information about critical judgements and estimates made in applying the Group’s
accounting policies that have the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in
the condensed interim financial statements are described in note iii – investment
properties and note iv - investment property under development.
Measurement of fair values
A number of the Group’s accounting policies and disclosures require the measurement
of fair values, for both financial and non-financial assets and liabilities.
The Group has an established control framework with respect to the measurement of fair
values. The Manager has overall responsibility for the appointment of external valuers,
where necessary, and all significant fair value measurements and reports directly to the
Board of Directors of the Manager.
When measuring the fair value of an asset or a liability, the Manager uses market
observable data as far as possible. Fair values are categorised into different levels in a
fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in the valuation techniques as follows:
• Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
• Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
• Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data
(unobservable inputs).
If the inputs used to measure the fair value of an asset or a liability fall into different levels
of the fair value hierarchy, then the fair value measurement is categorised in its entirety
in the same level of the fair value hierarchy as the lowest level input that is significant to
the entire measurement (with Level 3 being the lowest).

Page 20 of 44
The Group recognises transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy as of the end
of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.
Further information about the assumptions made in measuring fair values is included in
the following notes:
• Note iii: Investment properties;
• Note iv: Investment property under development: and
• Note v: Equity instrument at fair value
Segment reporting
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities
from which it may earn revenue and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses
that relate to transactions with any of the Group’s other components. All operating
segments’ operating results are reviewed regularly by the Group’s Chief Operating
Decision Makers (“CODMs”) which comprise mainly the Board of Directors including the
Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) of the Manager to make decisions about resources to be
allocated to the segment and assess its performance, and for which discrete financial
information is available.
Segment results include items directly attributable to a segment as well as those that can
be allocated on a reasonable basis.
Unallocated items mainly comprise fees, other trust expenses, foreign exchange
gain/loss, finance cost, interest and other income, fair value of derivative financial
instruments and income tax expense as these are centrally manage by the Group.
Segment capital expenditure is the total cost incurred during the year to acquire plant
and equipment, investment properties and investment property under development.
i Gross revenue and operating segment
Operating segment
For segment reporting purpose, the primary segment is by geography and it comprises
Singapore and Italy. The Group’s reportable operating segments are as follow:
(i) Singapore – leasing of property retail mall in Singapore.
(ii) Italy – leasing of Sky Complex, comprising three office buildings in Milan, Italy.
Segment information is presented in respect of the Group’s geographical segments. The
operations of each of the Group’s geographical segments are separately managed
because of different economic and regulatory environments in which they operate in. For
the purpose of making resource allocation and the assessment of segment performance,
the Group’s CODMs have focused on its investment properties. For each of the reporting
segments, the Manager reviews internal management reports on a monthly basis. This
forms the basis of identifying the operating segments of the Group under IFRS 8
Operating Segments.

iii Investment properties
The decrease in investment properties is mainly due to fair value loss partly offset by
foreign exchange revaluation gain on a Euro denominated investment property (Sky
Complex) attributed to stronger €/S$ exchange rate.
Measurement of fair value
Fair value hierarchy Investment properties are stated at fair value as at 30 June and are based on the valuations performed by independent professional valuers, CBRE Pte Ltd. and Savills Advisory Services Limited (2020: CBRE Pte Ltd. and Savills Advisory Services Limited). The fair value measurement for investment properties has been categorised as Level 3 fair values based on inputs to the valuation techniques used (see item 1(d)(iii)).
Valuation techniques The fair values take into consideration the market values of the properties, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties have each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. The specific condition and characteristics inherent in each of the properties are taken into consideration in arriving at the property valuation. In determining the fair value, the external valuers have used valuation techniques which involve certain estimates. The key assumptions used to determine the fair value of investment properties include market rental growth rates, market-corroborated discount rate, terminal capitalisation rate and capitalisation rate. In relying on the valuation reports, the Manager has exercised its judgement and is satisfied that the valuation methods and estimates are reflective of current market conditions and the valuation reports are prepared in accordance with recognised appraisal and valuation standards.

iii Investment properties
Valuation techniques
The external valuers have considered valuation techniques including the income capitalisation method and discounted cash flow analysis in arriving at the open market value as at the reporting date. The external valuers have considered all available information as at 30 June relating to COVID-19 and have made necessary adjustments to the valuation. The valuation reports also highlighted that given the unprecedented set of circumstances on which to base a judgement, less certainty, and a higher degree of caution, should be attached to their valuations than would normally be the case. Due to the unknown future impact that COVID-19 might have on the real estate market, the external valuers have also recommended to keep the valuation of these properties under frequent review. The discounted cash flow analysis involves the estimation and projection of a net income stream over a period and discounting the net income stream with an internal rate of return to arrive at the market value. The discounted cash flow analysis requires the external valuers to assume a rental growth rate indicative of market and the selection of a target internal rate of return consistent with current market requirements. The capitalisation method is an investment approach whereby the estimated gross passing income (on both a passing and market rent basis) has been adjusted against anticipated operating costs to produce a net income on a fully leased basis. The adopted fully leased net income is capitalised at an appropriate investment yield. Thereafter, various adjustments including assumed vacancy allowance are made, where appropriate, for the capitalisation method.
Key unobservable inputs The following table shows the key unobservable inputs used in the valuation models:
Valuation technique Key unobservable inputs
Inter-relationship between key unobservable inputs and fair value measurement
Discounted cash flows analysis
• Discount rate of 6.15% to 6.75% (2020: 6.00% to 6.75%)
• Terminal capitalisation rate of 4.40% to 5.25% (2020: 4.40% to 5.25%)
• 10-year average market rental growth rate of 2.85% (2020: 2.80%)
The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if discount rate was lower (higher). The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if terminal capitalisation rate was lower (higher). The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if 10-year average market rental growth rate was higher (lower).
Capitalisation method
• Capitalisation rate of 4.25% (2020: 4.25%)
The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if capitalisation rate was lower (higher).

iv Investment property under development
Valuation techniques In determining the fair value of investment property under development, the valuers have adopted the residual method whereby the estimated development costs to be incurred and developer’s profit are deducted from the gross development value to arrive at the residual value. The gross development value is the estimated value of the property assuming satisfactory completion of the development as at the date of valuation and is determined using the income capitalisation method and discounted cash flow analysis
(see item 1(d)(iii)). The key assumptions include the estimation of net income based on rental assumption which are considered in line with prevailing market conditions and general market practice within Singapore, a market-corroborated discount rate, terminal capitalisation rate, capitalisation rate and estimated development costs to be incurred.
Key unobservable inputs
The following table shows the key unobservable inputs used in the valuation models:

The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if capitalisation rate was lower (higher). The estimated fair value would increase (decrease) if the estimated development costs to be incurred (including land costs) were lower (higher).

v Equity instrument at fair value
Equity instrument at fair value relates to LREIT’s 5.0% stake in ARIF 3.
The fair value of the investments represents approximately 3% of the Group’s total assets
as at 30 June 2021.
Equity instrument at fair value through profit and loss is calculated using the net asset
value (“NAV”) of the investee entity adjusted for the fair value of the underlying property.
The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if the NAV was higher/(lower).

vii Net Asset Value (“NAV”) and Net Tangible Asset (“NTA”) Per Unit
Footnote: 1. NTA per unit is the same as NAV per unit as there was no intangible asset as at the statement of financial position date.
viii Earnings Per Unit (“EPU”) and Distribution Per Unit (“DPU”) for the financial period (Group)
In computing the EPU, the weighted average number of units as at the end of each period is used for the computation. The diluted EPU is the same as the basic EPU as there are no dilutive instruments in issue during the period.
Footnotes: 1. Includes unrealised foreign exchange, net change in fair value of derivatives, net change in fair value of equity instrument, net change in fair value of investment properties & investment property under development and transaction
costs directly attributable to the acquisition of the Properties.
ix Fair value of assets and liabilities
The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate fair values of the following significant classes of financial instruments:
(i) Derivative financial instruments
Interest rate derivatives are valued using valuation techniques with market observable inputs. The most frequently applied valuation techniques include forward pricing and swap models, using present valuation calculations. The models incorporate various inputs including the credit quality of counterparties, interest rate and forward rate curves. (ii) Non-derivatives financial liabilities Fair value, which is determined for disclosure purposes, is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted using the market rate of interest at the reporting date. The carrying amounts of loans and borrowings approximate their fair value as these loans and borrowings are interest-bearing at floating rates and reprice at an interval of one to twelve months.

ix Fair value of assets and liabilities (iii) Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value Other non-derivative financial liabilities are measured at fair value at initial recognition and for disclosure purposes, at each annual reporting date. Fair value is calculated based on the present value of future principal and interest cash flows, discounted at the market rate of interest at the measurement date. Other non-derivative financial liabilities include loans and borrowings. Interest rates used in determining fair values The weighted average interest rates used to discount estimated cash flows, where applicable, are based on forward rates as at 30 June plus a credit spread, and are as follows:
GROUP LREIT

% % % %
Unsecured interest-bearing term loans 0.52 0.52 0.52 0.52
(iv) Financial instruments for which fair value is equal to the carrying value These financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, trade and other receivables, other current assets, other non-current assets and trade and other payables. The carrying amounts of these financial instruments are approximations of their fair values because they are either short term in nature or effect of discounting is immaterial. (v) Equity instrument at fair value
The fair value measurement for equity instrument at fair value has been categorised as Level 3 fair values based on inputs to the valuation techniques used.
The fair value of the equity instrument is calculated using the net asset value of the unquoted entity adjusted for the fair value of the underlying property. The estimated fair value would increase/(decrease) if the net asset value was higher/(lower).
Accounting classifications and fair values The fair values of financial assets and liabilities, together with the carrying amounts shown in the statements of financial position, are as follows. It does not include fair value information for financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value if the carrying amount is a reasonable approximation of fair value.

3 Review of Performance
NM: Not meaningful
Footnotes: 1. Net foreign exchange loss is not annualised as foreign exchange loss is based on foreign exchange rate differences.
2. The annualised results for FY2020 is based on the actual results from 2 October 2019 to 30 June 2020 (273 days) pro-rated to 366 days.
6 months ended: 30 Jun 2021 vs 30 Jun 2020
Gross revenue of S$37.0 million for the period was S$2.9 million or 8.5% higher than the 6 months ended 30 June 2020. The higher revenue was attributed to decrease in rental waivers granted by LREIT to the tenants at 313@somerset and higher revenue from Sky Complex due to foreign exchange.
Property operating expenses were S$10.5 million or 5.0% higher than the 6 months ended 30 June 2020. The higher expenses were mainly attributed to net provision for doubtful debts of $0.7 million and higher expenses from Sky Complex due to foreign exchange. This is partly offset by lower expenses contributed from marketing, insurances, salary & related expenses and operating expenses.
As a result, net property income for the period was S$26.5 million or 10% higher than the 6 months ended 30 June 2020.
After accounting for management fees and other trust expenses, the amount distributable to Unitholders was S$27.6 million, translating to a DPU of 2.34 cents, which is 32.8% higher than the 6 months ended 30 June 2020.

3 Review of Performance
Full year ended: Actual vs Annualised
Gross revenue of S$78.7 million for the period was S$4.2 million or 5.6% higher than the annualised 12 months ended 30 June 2020. The higher revenue was attributed to decrease in rental waivers granted by LREIT to the tenants at 313@somerset and higher revenue from Sky Complex due to foreign exchange.
Property operating expenses were S$1.3 million or 6.3% higher than the annualised 12 months ended 30 June 2020. The higher expenses were mainly attributed to provision for doubtful debts of $2.3 million and higher expenses from Sky Complex due to foreign exchange. This is partly offset by lower expenses contributed from marketing, insurances, salary & related expenses, operating expenses and utilities expenses.
As a result, net property income for the period was S$56.9 million or 5.4% higher than the annualised 12 months ended 30 June 2020. After accounting for management fees and other trust expenses, the amount distributable to Unitholders was S$55.1 million, translating to a DPU of 4.68 cents, which is 14.6% higher than the annualised 12 months ended 30 June 2020.
4 Variance between Actual and Forecast Results
The Manager had made announcements on 9 April 2020 and 20 April 2020 respectively, with regard to the IPO profit and distribution forecast for the financial year ending 30 June 2020 and the profit and distribution projection for the financial year ending 30 June 2021, as it may no longer be a fair basis against which the actual performance of LREIT could be compared given current circumstances. Please refer to “Review of performance” for a review of the actual results for the period against the annualised results for the same period in the previous financial period.
5 Commentary on the competitive conditions of the industry in which the group
operates and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next reporting period and the next 12 months The International Monetary Fund has projected the global economy to grow 6%1 and 4.4%1 in 2021 and 2022, respectively. The projections are 0.81 percentage point (for 2021) and 0.21 percentage point (for 2022) stronger than its forecast in October 2020, which reflects higher-than-expected growth outturns in the second half of 2021 for most regions after lockdowns were eased and as economies adapted to new ways of working. While growth, in general, recovered stronger than expected, it remains below pre-pandemic trends across most countries. The second and third infection waves have necessitated renewed restrictions in many countries, and this stop-go rhythm means that recovery is uneven and far from complete. Future economic developments will depend on the path of the health crisis, including whether the new COVID-19 strains prove susceptible to vaccines, the effectiveness of policy actions to limit persistent economic damage and the evolution of economic financial conditions.

5 Commentary on the competitive conditions of the industry in which the group
operates and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next reporting period and the next 12 months
Singapore Based on advance estimates by the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Singapore economy grew by 14.3%2 year-on-year (“YoY”) in the second quarter of 2021. This was largely due to the low base in the second quarter of 2020 when the economy fell by 13.3%2 due to the Circuit Breaker (CB) measures implemented from 7 April to 1 June 2020. Retail sales grew approximately 19%3 YoY in the first five months of 2021. In May 2021, retail sales increased 79.7%3 YoY, up 25.73 percentage points recorded in April 2021. Similarly, the significant YoY growth was attributed to the low base in May 2020 when the CB measures were put in place to contain the COVID-19 outbreak. The Singapore government continued to adopt more targeted approach to calibrate the resumption of economic and community activities. Following the implementation of Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) on 14 May 2021, a calibrated tightening of some safe management measures for higher-risk indoor and mask-off settings, will be in effect to protect the community. While most businesses are expected to turn the corner as Singapore's economy gradually reopens, uncertainty remains on the effectiveness of the vaccines against new strains of the virus. Demand for retail space will likely remain soft with the continued safe distancing measures being implemented and border closures. In the short term, the weak demand may continue to weigh on rental performance.
Milan Alongside the Italian economy, business and consumer confidence continued to improve in June. According to the preliminary estimates by the Italian National Institute of Statistics, the consumer price index for June climbed 1.3%4 YoY and 0.1%4 month-on-month. In the office sector, vacancy rates in Milan remained stable at 9.6%5 in 1Q 2021. While the total transacted space recorded a drop of 30%5 YoY to 68,0005 square metres, Milan office market has continued to stay dynamic, marking a growing interest for small and medium-sized enterprises. More than 60%5 of the transactions recorded were spaces under 1,000 square metres. The CBD and Periphery submarkets accounted for approximately 71%5 of the total transacted space. As at 1Q 2021, the average office rental in Milan stood at €6005 per square metre per annum. On the investment front, Milan has maintained its appeal and concluded approximately 80%5 of the total office transactions in Italy.

5 Commentary on the competitive conditions of the industry in which the group
operates and any known factors or events that may affect the group in the next reporting period and the next 12 months
According to the latest report by Cushman & Wakefield, office absorption rate for the next five years is expected to be lower compared to the past five years. Businesses, in the short term, will continue to assess the structural impacts of COVID-19 on future demand for office space and how the space could be transformed from being just a place to work to becoming a place where employees gather to interact and collaborate. Looking ahead The Manager will continue to closely monitor developments relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Manager has taken necessary precautionary measures at LREIT’s assets in accordance with guidelines from local health authorities. For the retail assets in Singapore, the Manager prioritises maintaining occupancy levels, active management to ensure the mall stays relevant and keeping ongoing communications with tenants to understand their needs. As the Manager continues to shape the future of the retail landscape to create a seamless chain between online and on-site shopping, it will leverage on Lendlease Plus to collaborate with tenants to extend their reach to shoppers. To enhance Unitholders’ value, the Manager will continue to improve the underlying performance of LREIT’s assets and adopt disciplined capital and asset management strategies to reduce costs and non-core expenditures.

Market Review
Singapore Retail
Market
• The Singapore economy grew by 14.3% YoY in the second quarter of 2021.
• Retail sales grew approximately 19% YoY in the first five months of 2021. In
May 2021, retail sales increased 79.7% YoY, up 25.7 percentage points
recorded in April 2021.
• While most businesses are expected to turn the corner as Singapore's economy
gradually reopens, uncertainty remains on the effectiveness of the vaccines
against new strains of the virus.
While growth, in general, have recovered stronger than expected, it remains below pre-pandemic
trends across most countries.

transformed from being just a place to work to becoming a place where
employees gather to interact and collaborate.

DBS Bank Ltd. is the Sole Financial Adviser and Issue Manager for the initial public offering of Lendlease Global
Commercial REIT (the “Offering”). DBS Bank Ltd. and Citigroup Global Markets Singapore Pte. Ltd. were the joint
global coordinators, bookrunners and underwriters for the Offering.
Singapore, 10 August 2021 - Lendlease Global Commercial Trust Management Pte. Ltd. (the
“Manager”), the manager of Lendlease Global Commercial REIT (“LREIT”), is pleased to
announce that distributable income increased 33.5% year-on-year (“YoY”) to S$27.6 million in 2H
FY2021, translating to a distribution of 2.34 cents per unit. For FY2021, distributable income rose
15.3%4 YoY to S$55.1 million, equivalent to a distribution of 4.68 cents per unit.
Gross revenue for 2H FY2021 was S$37.0 million, up 8.5% YoY. The higher revenue was
attributed to lower rental waivers granted to the tenants at 313@somerset amid the calibrated
reopening of the economy and higher revenue from Sky Complex due to foreign exchange. The
increase in gross revenue has resulted in a higher net property income (“NPI”) of S$26.5 million
for 2H FY2021. For FY2021, gross revenue and NPI increased 5.6% and 5.4% YoY to S$78.7
million and S$56.9 million respectively.
Property expenses in FY2021 were S$1.3 million or 6.3% higher than the same period a year
ago. The higher expenses were mainly attributed to the provision of S$2.3 million doubtful debts
amid the impact of COVID-19 on some tenants at 313@somerset. However, this was partially

Capital Management
On 27 May 2021, LREIT priced S$200 million of perpetual securities under its S$1 billion
Multicurrency Debt Issuance Programme at 4.20% per annum for the first five years. The issuance
attracted strong demand from a wide range of high-quality institutional and retail investors.
Gross borrowings were S$553.7 million as at 30 June 2021 with an improved gearing ratio of
32.0%. The Group and LREIT have undrawn debt facilities of S$147.8 million-equivalent
multicurrency to fund its working capital.
The weighted average debt maturity was 2.2 years with a weighted average running cost of debt
of 0.88% per annum. LREIT’s high interest coverage ratio of 8.9 times was in accordance with
requirements in its debt agreements, and 4.7 times in accordance with the Property Funds
Appendix of the Code on Collective Investment Schemes. The current levels of the interest rate
coverage ratios continue to provide ample buffer from the debt covenant of 2.0 times. All of
LREIT’s debt are unsecured, ensuring that it has balance sheet flexibility.
Subsequent to the financial year end, S$120 million 4-year loan facilities were put in place on 4
August 2021 to partially finance the acquisition of interests in Jem and for general working capital
and/or corporate funding purposes.

Operations Performance
LREIT’s portfolio occupancy remained high at 99.8% as at 30 June 2021, with a long WALE of
8.81 years by NLA and 4.51 years by GRI. As at the period ended 30 June 2021, LREIT’s
aggregate portfolio property value stood at S$1.45 billion based on independent appraisals of
LREIT’s investment properties.
313@somerset, prime retail mall in Singapore
As at 30 June 2021, occupancy rate for 313@somerset climbed 0.6 percentage point to 99.2%
on the back of three new tenants secured to enhance in-store retail experience for shoppers. As
at the period end, tenant retention rate stood at 61.5%6 as the Manager continued to rejuvenate
the mall to uphold its position as a vibrant and youthful destination hub.
Tenant sales and visitation rose 33.7% and 6.2% YoY to S$81.5 million and 11.4 million in 2H
FY2021 respectively. During the same period, fashion & accessories and food & beverage
tenants, which accounted for approximately 45% by portfolio GRI, continued to improve its sales
by 37% YoY.
Following the implementation of Phase 2 (Heightened Alert) on 14 May 2021, the Singapore
government has continued to adopt a more targeted approach to calibrate the resumption of
economic and community activities. With the latest measures announced on 20 July 2021 to
suspend dining-in and group sizes for social gatherings reduced to two people (from five
previously), the Manager expects tenant sales and visitation to remain muted in the coming
months. It will continue to focus on targeted campaigns to boost sales, prioritise maintaining
occupancy and keep open communication with tenants amid the dynamic retail environment.
The multifunctional event space adjacent to 313@somerset
Construction of the event space is expected to commence by end-2021. Upon completion, which
takes approximately 12 to 18 months, the event space is set to present a vibrant, first-of-its-kind
lifestyle and entertainment experience, offering unique food concepts and serving as a venue for
concerts and events through a partnership with Live Nation, the world’s leading live entertainment
company.
To forge strong connections with the local community, a branding contest for visual concepts and
name suggestions has been launched for the site.

Sky Complex, three grade-A offices in Milan
The Italian economy continued to improve since the beginning of 2021. Sky Complex has proven
to be a resilient asset since the onset of COVID-19 pandemic and has continued to generate
stable income. To-date, its tenant, Sky Italia, has made all its rental payments in a timely manner.
In the near term, the Manager expects the three grade A offices to remain resilient and continue
to generate stable income for LREIT’s unitholders.
Subsequent event: 99.91% voted in favour to increase indirect interest1 in Jem
The almost-unanimous approval and strong participation at the extraordinary general meeting on
26 July 2021 is a significant milestone and strong testimony achieved by LREIT. Post-completion
of the acquisition, the enlarged portfolio size of up to S$1.8 billion will strengthen LREIT’s portfolio
resiliency and boost income diversification.
Mr Kelvin Chow, Chief Executive Officer of the Manager, said, “We are heartened and
encouraged by the resounding support and decisive vote from our Unitholders. This is indeed an
endorsement of confidence for the REIT, the Board and the Management team. We will continue
to focus on optimising LREIT’s portfolio and its performance, and to deliver stable returns to our
Unitholders.”
Commenting on LREIT’s portfolio, Mr Chow, added, “LREIT has delivered higher net property
income and distributable income year-on-year, and we are pleased to end FY2021 with a
consistently high portfolio occupancy of 99.8%. While we remain well-capitalised with ample
financial flexibility, we will continue to exercise prudence.”
Market Outlook
Singapore Retail Industry
Based on advance estimates by the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the Singapore economy grew
by 14.3%7 YoY in the second quarter of 2021. This was largely due to the low base in the second
quarter of 2020 when the economy fell by 13.3%7 due to the Circuit Breaker (“CB”) measures
implemented from 7 April to 1 June 2020.
Retail sales grew approximately 19%8 YoY in the first five months of 2021. In May 2021, retail
sales increased 79.7%8 YoY, up 25.78 percentage points recorded in April 2021. Similarly, the
significant YoY growth was attributed to the low base in May 2020 when the CB measures were
put in place to contain the COVID-19 outbreak.
The Singapore government continued to adopt more targeted approach to calibrate the
resumption of economic and community activities. Following the implementation of Phase 2

(Heightened Alert) on 14 May 2021, a calibrated tightening of some safe management measures
for higher-risk indoor and mask-off settings, will be in effect to protect the community.
While most businesses are expected to turn the corner as Singapore's economy gradually
reopens, uncertainty remains on the effectiveness of the vaccines against new strains of the virus.
Demand for retail space will likely remain soft with the continued safe distancing measures being
implemented and border closures. In the short term, the weak demand may continue to weigh on
rental performance
Milan Office Industry
Alongside the Italian economy, business and consumer confidence continued to improve in June.
According to the preliminary estimates by the Italian National Institute of Statistics, the consumer
price index for June climbed 1.4%9 YoY and 0.1%9 month-on-month.
In the office sector, vacancy rates in Milan remained stable at 9.6%10 in 1Q 2021. While the total
transacted space recorded a drop of 30%10 YoY to 68,00010 square metres, Milan office market
has continued to stay dynamic, marking a growing interest for small and medium-sized
enterprises. More than 60%10 of the transactions recorded were spaces under 1,000 sm. The
CBD and Periphery submarkets accounted for approximately 71%10 of the total transacted space.
As at 1Q 2021, the average office rental in Milan stood at €600 per square metre per annum10.
On the investment front, Milan has maintained its appeal and concluded approximately 80%10 of
the total office transactions in Italy.
According to the latest report by Cushman & Wakefield, office absorption rate for the next five
years is expected to be lower compared to the past five years. Businesses, in the short term, will
continue to assess the structural impacts of COVID-19 on future demand for office space and
how the space could be transformed from being just a place to work to becoming a place where
employees gather to interact and collaborate.
Distribution Policy
LREIT intends to make distributions to Unitholders semi-annually and will distribute at least 90.0%
of its adjusted net cashflow from operations for each financial year. The actual level of distribution
will be determined at the Manager’s discretion. LREIT intends to distribute 100.0% of its adjusted
net cashflow from operations for the period from 2 October 2019 (being the date LREIT was listed)
to the end of 30 June 2021.
