32 CB Richard Ellis | Page 31 European Real Estate: Outlook Summary Slow growth environment Subdued occupier demand – cost-sensitive Rental growth limited - mainly prime space where in short supply Development restrained Debt market constraints Major refinancing needs Banks more active in managing loans Limited new lending – low risk Investor bias to larger, liquid markets Continued polarisation between prime and secondary Prime properties stable/improving with competition for core stock Good secondary in stronger markets - opportunity Concern for poorer secondary/tertiary stock – yields to soften further

34 Copyright © 2011 by K&L Gates LLP. All rights reserved. China Matters: What are the real estate opportunities? Real Estate Breakfast Seminar London, September 2011 Amy L. Sommers, Partner K&L Gates - Shanghai

35 34 Topics: 2025: Planning for China’s built environment Urban planning 2001 to 2011: Xintiandi as a case study Gov’t policy aims and concerns: where the next opportunities may lie

36 35 First, some context…

37 36 China by 2025… 350 millionNumber of people added to China’s urban population – 5+x Great Britain’s current popul. 5 billion SQMArea of roads that will be paved 170Number of mass-transit systems that could be build 40 billion SQMAmount of floor space that will be built 50,000 Number of these buildings that could be skyscrapers – akin to building 10 cities the size of New York City

38 37 Real Estate Development in China Past Decade:  Urban re-development has been a key driver  Improving housing stock  Upgrading lifestyle from socialist, planned housing to market-driven, invested- oriented housing Next Decade:  Widening to Tier 2 and 3 cities  Linking cities/regions through infrastructure (transport/energy)  Demographically-driven opportunities

39 38 Red China …or Grey? “China’s demographic challenges are captured neatly in the popular saying that the country “will grow old before it grows rich.” China will start going grey some time this decade, and the process will accelerate after 2020. “ By 2030, China is projected to have more than 300 million citizens beyond retirement age. This will present what the Chinese call a “4-2-1” problem: a single child with two parents and four grandparents to care for. “Given the significant burdens this will impose, the government is already looking at ways to better fund healthcare. Beijing allocated $124 billion last year for healthcare reform, aiming for basic universal health coverage in the coming years.” Source: http://docs.eurasiagroup.net/chinaoutlook.pdf

40 39 Past Decade - Urban Redevelopment: Re-imagining Old Shanghai - Xintiandi

41 40 Xintiandi - completed 2001  Lifestyle project in central Shanghai  Based on re-imagined use of vernacular structures

42 41 Xintiandi site in 1998  At the time many considered China too poor/unsophisticated - project was doomed to fail or to attract only expatriates

43 42 Xintiandi - 10th Anniversary Huge success - in 5 yrs will double to 1.2M SQM Lesson: Predicting what will be popular in China is a mystery…

44 43 Demographics & policy: key drivers in China’s real estate sector

45 44 China’s Healthcare Aims - an example of how policy can drive development…  Improvement of services at grass-roots level: including support for the development of 2000 county-level hospitals; construction or expansion of 3700 urban community health care centers and 11,000 community heath care stations within three years.

46 45 Opportunities & Pressures  Obviously, these forecasts for urbanization spell potential opportunities for all sorts of stakeholders, such as:  makers of transit system equipment  architects/designers/engineering services, building/construction material providers  suppliers of energy and energy infrastructure  health care/aged care

47 46 China’s 12th Five-Year Plan Proposed by the Chinese Communist Party’s Central Committee in 10/10, adopted by National People’s Congress in 3/11 7 “Strategic Emerging Industries” have been identified and are focused on health care, energy, technology sectors Focus is on ‘inclusive growth’ of the economy, which will take the form of social benefits (health care), improved living standards (environmental concerns such as clean energy), and value-added industries (growth in R&D facilities)

48 47 Implications for the built environment Implementation of the aims articulated in the 12th FYP will involve development of China’s built environment, e.g.:  construction of hospital facilities  Water treatment facilities, power transmission systems, development of energy-efficient buildings  R&D activities in IT and other areas will require suitable facilities and these users will require housing/amenities for associated workers Source: http://apcoworldwideinc.com/Content/PDFs/Chinas_12th_Five- Year_Plan.pdf

49 48 Opportunities & Pressures  What about pressures?  Power generation: 700 - 900 gigawatts of new coal-fired power capacity will be constructed from 2005-2025  Arable land supply is diminishing – worst case, 20% decline  Inadequate supplies of potable water – today, 59% of China’s river water is below international standards for potability Concerns re overheating of real property sector mean that whether foreign-invested real estate projects will obtain needed approvals will be driven in part by whether their organization’s projects/services will (a) help address or redress these pressures or (b) to achieve FYP goals

50 49 Opportunities & Pressures (cont) Contradictions betw/ national & local govts abound:  Nat’l govt banned construction of new golf courses in ‘04  June 20: People’s Daily reported over 400 golf courses have been constructed since 2004  How? Often by registration as sports parks, recreational parks and forestation areas "Some local governments have undertaken such programs in an effort to to boost their economies. So they register the clubs under different classifications, and the local government turns a blind eye on farmland and forest acquisition.”* *Yan Jinming, vice-president of the School for Public Administration at Renmin University

51 50 Overview of Legal Restrictions for Investing in China Real Property

52 51 Foreign Investment in Real Property China restricts foreign investment in RE; essentially at least one of these conditions must exist:  if one is a PRC-registered business, one can develop or purchase property for one's own use  one can purchase equity (stock) in a company that hold/develops/rents RE  one can form a company to acquire land rights from the government & develop a project for rent/sale to third parties

53 52 Challenges/restrictions:  Can't buy property w/out forming a company in the PRC – and PRC companies can’t be easily dissolved/wound up - so this significant  Special capitalization and approval requirements before making an investment  Requires converting foreign currency and the gov’t is increasingly concerned about pressure on the RMB to rise – possible to get other approvals, but not be allowed to convert capital to fund the project

54 53

55 54 Sectors/areas where foreign projects more likely to be welcome?  Niche projects - eg, health care/bio tech  Projects filling policy aims - eg, develop the West – getting approvals in Chongqing and Chengdu is probably like Shanghai 15 years ago  Senior living, affordable housing, energy- efficient/’green’ projects (again, ties back to policy aims)

59 58 Commercial Real Estate Industry Overview  Return of confidence to the Russian real estate investment market in Q2 2011  Moscow is currently one of the hottest investment markets in Europe  Q2 2011 saw the largest ever quarterly investment volume in Russia  Overall investment volume provides for the potential for 2011 to match the record levels of 2007 and 2008

60 59 Commercial Real Estate Industry Overview Investment Volumes by quarter, 2005 - 2011 Information from CBRE

61 60 Real Estate Investment: H1 2011- Deals  Total volume of deals – Euro 1.77 billion (13 deals) including Euro 1.6 billion in Q2 2011 (11 deals)  Largest Deal: purchase of Ritz-Carlton Hotel in central Moscow by Verny Capital from Capital Partners for Euro 424 million  47% of White Square business center (110,750 m²), purchased by consortium of VTB and TPG from Coalco  50% of White Gardens business center (95,000 m², under construction, due in 2012), purchased by consortium of VTB and TPG from Coalco  Alfa Arbat business center (47,200 m²), purchased by Promsvyaznedvizhimost from TNK-BP  90% of Berlin House/Geneva House (7,400 m² / 9,875 m²) purchased by Lenhart Global from Eastern Property Holdings

63 62 Real Estate Investment: H1 2011 – Refinancing  Hermitage Plaza business center (Raiffeisen)  Romanov Dvor business center (Nordea)  Gogolevsky 11 business center (Raiffeisen)  Metropolis business center (Nordea)  Ducat III business center (UniCredit)  Four Winds business center (Nordea)  Immofinanz retail portfolio (Rosbank)  White Square business center (VTB, closing in process)

64 63  Demand up by 30-40% compared to 2010  Aggregate supply - 11m m²; new supply - 200-250k m²  New supply will be very low in 2011 (890k m², the lowest during 2008- 2010)  New supply will shift away from the city center due to a ban on construction in central Moscow (announced by Mayor Sobyanin):  Suspension of some issued permits and audit of previously issued documents  Limitation and prohibition of virtually all new construction  Likely not to include reconstruction and capital improvements  Possible outcome: fewer offices to rent, return to “seller’s market”, more new offices outside the city center Moscow Office Market: H1 2011

65 64 Moscow Office Market: H1 2011  Signs of return of confidence to the market:  Stable take-up: volume of deals (leases) in Q2 – 296,000 m² (41% quarterly increase)  Overall vacancy decreased to 12.5% (18% in Class A, 12% in Class B)  Prime rents continue to rise  Tenants attracted primarily by quality  Average rental rate for fitted-out prime offices – US$1,050 per m² per year  97,500 m² of office space delivered to the Moscow market in Q2 2011, a 64% decrease compared to Q1 2011

67 66 II.Legislative Developments Affecting Real Estate

68 67 Applicable law  Civil Code of the Russian Federation  Land Code of the Russian Federation  Town-Planning Code of the Russian Federation  Federal law on state registration of rights to immovable property and related transactions (Registration Law)  Regional laws and regulations

69 68 Proposed Amendments: Civil Code Project  To avoid potential disputes with regard to title registration, the following new registration principles have been proposed:  Verification of basis for original registration of title  Establishment of a true and accurate public register  Introduction of notarization requirement for all transactions creating, changing or terminating rights that are subject to state registration  Property = land plot + building  A land plot and an object on the land plot (building, construction) owned by the same person are considered a sole real estate object  Currently, there is no such concept in Russian law (however, there is a concept of “common fate” of land plots and objects, i.e. all objects closely bound with land plots follow the fate of land plots)

70 69 Proposed Supreme Commercial Court Plenum Resolution*  Seller’s lack of title to real estate upon signing a contract will not in itself lead to the contract’s invalidity, but title will be required for state registration  Better identification of future real estate objects in contracts (important for preliminary agreements and agreements concerning future real estate):  location, size, other characteristics, defined in accordance with the construction plan  identification is adequate if the total floor area to be conveyed and the price per square meter can be established  such data can be contained in transfer-delivery certificates *Plenum Resolutions are obligatory for commercial courts in Russia
