income-producing real estate assets primarily located in Saudi Arabia. The REIT intends to fund the acquisition

and operating costs through the Capital, Shari’ah-compliant financing as well as revenues from Fund investments.

Manager is targeting to distribute to investors an annual cash dividend of no less than 90% of the REIT’s Net

Profits. It is targeted that such percentage shall increase over the REIT’s term as the number of income-producing

The main objective of the REIT is to provide Unitholders with a consistent and growing cash distribution from its

real estate investment portfolio and to periodically distribute such amounts to Unitholders. The REIT will seek to

maximize shareholder value by (a) the reinvestment of retained income back into attractive real estate assets,

and (c) repositioning of the under-performing properties. The REIT also seeks to increase the value and returns to

Unitholders by improving net operating income through the reduction of expenses of the growing asset base

Description of the Types of Assets the Fund will Invest In

The Fund Manager will buy and sell properties that fit within the REIT’s investment strategies. The REIT intends

to acquire and maintain a diversified portfolio of real estate properties by pursuing different strategies including

the following:

- Acquisition of high quality income-generating properties

- Acquisition and enhancements of underutilized income-generating properties

may opportunistically invest in real estate development projects; provided that (i) at least 75% of the REIT’s total

assets are invested in developed real estate assets which generate periodic income and (ii) the REIT may not

invest in vacant land.

The REIT’s portfolio will initially consist of the following assets (which are described in detail in Part 1 above):

generate attractive return and value appreciation. These areas encompass positive demographic characteristics,

Page 18: Riyad REIT - الرياض المالية · PDF fileThe admission and listing of the units in Riyad REIT has been approved by the Saudi ... The CMA does not bear any responsibility

17

strong growth in business activities, positive inflow of investment, favorable supply/demand dynamics and solid

infrastructure.

Although initial Fund investments are in Saudi Arabia, the REIT may diverse its investments by investing a

maximum of 25% of its total asset value in real estate located outside the Kingdom.

Subject to the restrictions on investments in development projects and investments outside the Kingdom, there

are no concentration or diversification requirements limiting the size of an investment or its proportional

percentage of the Capital of the REIT.

Borrowing Rights

The Fund Manager may leverage the REIT by utilizing Shari’ah-compliant financing. Such leverage shall not

exceed a ratio of fifty percent (50%) of the REIT’s total asset value. The amount of leverage incurred will depend

upon (a) the specific facts in connection with a particular financing and (b) prevailing market conditions.

Methods and Ways to Invest the Liquidity Available in the REIT

The REIT may make investments of available cash in Murabahas and other short-term Shari’ah-compliant

investments provided that such investments shall not exceed 25% of the total value of the REIT’s assets. Such

investments may be made with the Fund Manager or any bank regulated by the Saudi Arabian Monetary

Authority, including Riyad Bank, or with funds managed by the Fund Manager or any other manager, provided

that such funds include money market funds, trading funds and real estate income-producing funds.

Investment Decision Making Process

Studying real estate markets

The REIT will rely on the Fund Manager’s Asset Management Division and external advisors and consultants to

regularly assess the most attractive sectors in the real estate market. The Fund Manager will continuously

examine the trends and cycles in the real estate market as well as market fundamentals and sector characteristics

to capitalize on real estate market opportunities and sustain the the REIT’s long-term objectives.

investment process to identify opportunities and efficiently execute transactions. Such process will be phased,

starting from exploring opportunities through sorting and evaluation and ending with adoption and

implementation.

Fund Manager will regularly evaluate every asset within the portfolio and recommend a strategy for each

to, the following factors:

a) sale price with respect to potential income;

c) the strategic fit of the property with respect to the allocation strategy by sectors; and

d) any change in market conditions affecting the Fund investments.

Prior to any disposal, the Fund Manager will seek valuations of the relevant asset from two independent

evaluators.

2.7 Risks of Investing in the Fund

Investment in the REIT involves significant risk factors and is suitable only for persons who can afford the

complete or partial loss of their investment. The below risks describe factors that could affect the REIT’s

investments and could affect the REIT’s Net Asset Value and investment proceeds. It is important that prospective

investors review and understand these risk factors before making an investment in the REIT. However, each

investor should note that the below risk factors are not an exhaustive list of the risks relating to an investment in

the REIT.

An investment in the REIT does not entail any guarantee that such investment shall be profitable or that an

investor shall not incur any loss. As such, each prospective investor shall take into account each of the

aforementioned risk factors prior to purchasing units in the REIT. Each investor bears full responsibility for any

financial loss resulting from an investment in the REIT unless such loss is due to the fraud, gross negligence or

wilful misconduct of the Fund Manager.

a. Risk Factors Related to the REIT

Nature of Investment Risk Investment in the REIT requires a commitment as described herein with no assurances of return on invested

capital. There can be no assurance that the REIT will be able to realize positive returns on its investments in a

timely manner, if at all. The REIT’s assets may not be able to be sold or otherwise disposed of or, if sold, may not

be able to be sold at a price perceived by the Fund Manager to represent fair value or in the timeframe desired by

the REIT. Accordingly, the REIT may never realize any return on its assets.

Limited Experience Risk

The Fund Manager has limited experience in managing real estate investment traded funds. Further, the REIT

Regulations have only been recently issued and as such their application is still untested in certain aspects.

Therefore, the Fund Manager may have to spend considerable time and effort to ensure the REIT complies with

Page 20: Riyad REIT - الرياض المالية · PDF fileThe admission and listing of the units in Riyad REIT has been approved by the Saudi ... The CMA does not bear any responsibility

19

the REIT Regulations and other applicable regulatory requirements implemented by the CMA and Tadawul. As

such, the Fund Manager’s focus and attention on the day-to-day management of the REIT’s assets would be

diverted and such may have a detrimental impact on the REIT’s operations, financial position and returns to

Unitholders.

Liquidity Risk

The Units of the REIT will be traded on the Tadawul. This can be taken as implying that there will be an active

liquid market for the Units or that it will develop or, if it does develop, that it will be maintained as it is. If a market

of high liquidity is not developed or maintained, the liquidity and trading price of the Units could be adversely

affected. In addition, if such a market does not develop, relatively small transactions may have a significant

impact on the Units and their price, and transactions may be difficult to execute at a stable price. A limited

number of Unitholders may result in reduced levels of liquidity which may adversely affect: (i) an investor’s

ability to realize some or all of its investment; and/or (ii) the price at which such Units trade in the secondary

market. In addition, a substantial proportion of the Units may be issued to a limited number of investors, which

could adversely affect the development of an active and liquid market for the Units.

Changes in Price Risks

General movement in local and international stock markets and real estate markets, prevailing and anticipated

economic conditions and profit rates, financing costs, investor sentiment and general economic conditions may

all affect negatively the market price of the Units. The market for the Units may fluctuate and a lack of liquidity

can have an adverse effect on the market value for the Units. Accordingly, the purchase of such Units is only

suitable for investors who can bear the risks associated with such investments.

Trading at a Discount Risks

The Units may trade at a discount to the offered price and Unitholders may not retrieve the full value of their

investment. The Units may trade at a discount to the offered price for a variety of reasons, including adverse

market conditions, a deterioration in investors’ perceptions of the merits of the REIT’s investment strategy and

investment policy or an excess of supply over demand in the Units.

Distributions Fluctuation Risks

Although the REIT is required to distribute to Unitholders at least 90% of its Net Profits on an annual basis, there

can be no assurance as to the actual amount of any distributions which will be made by the REIT. Furthermore,

and except for the foregoing amount to be distributed, the declaration, payment and amount of any dividends or

distributions by the REIT are subject to the recommendation of the Fund Manager and will depend upon, among

other things, the performance of the REIT, the REIT’s financial position and cash requirements and the ability of

the REIT to comply with the applicable legal requirements for paying distributions.

Page 21: Riyad REIT - الرياض المالية · PDF fileThe admission and listing of the units in Riyad REIT has been approved by the Saudi ... The CMA does not bear any responsibility

20

Substantial Sale of Unit Risks

Subsequent sales by the Unitholders of a substantial number of Units may significantly reduce the Unit’s trading

price. Also, any rumors that such sales might occur, could materially and adversely affect the market price of the

Units and return to Unitholders.

Reflection of Underlying Value Risks

The traded market price of the Units may not reflect the value of the underlying investments of the REIT. Stock

exchanges, including the Tadawul, may experience extreme price and volume volatility from time to time, and

this, in addition to general economic, political and other conditions, may materially adversely affect the market

price for the Units. The price at which the Units may be quoted will be influenced by a number of factors many of

which are outside the REIT’s control whereby they have an effect on the real estate investment sector or equity

markets generally.

Distribution and Leverage Risks

Distribution requirements and leverage restrictions under the REIT Regulations may limit the REIT’s ability and

flexibility to pursue growth through acquisitions. The REIT is required is required to distribute to Unitholders at

least 90% of its Net Profits annually (not including disposition proceeds). Furthermore, in order to maintain its

status as a real estate investment traded fund, the REIT’s leverage must not exceed 50% of its total Capital. As a

result, the REIT has limited ability to make improvements to its property or pursue growth through acquisition of

additional properties.

Unit Liquidity Risks

Except upon termination of the REIT at the expiry of its term, Unitholders will only be able to realize their

investment through secondary transactions in the market and receiving annual returns from the REIT’s Net

Profits. Although the Units will be traded, the liquidity of Units in real estate investment traded funds may be less

than the market liquidity of shares of listed companies. It is possible that there may not be a liquid market in the

Units and Unitholders may have difficulty in selling the Units at the quoted market price and/or the prevailing

NAV per Unit, or otherwise. Further, the CMA has the right to suspend or limit trading in the Units of the REIT.

Any suspension or limitation on trading in the Units may affect the ability of Unitholders to realize their

investment.

Underlying Asset Liquidity Risks

The REIT’s portfolio consists of real estate assets. Real estate assets are generally illiquid and, as such, it may be

difficult or impossible for the REIT to sell any of its underlying assets for a particular price at any particular time. It

Page 22: Riyad REIT - الرياض المالية · PDF fileThe admission and listing of the units in Riyad REIT has been approved by the Saudi ... The CMA does not bear any responsibility

21

may be difficult for the REIT to sell its real estate assets (particularly at times of market downturn and specifically

those assets that are categorized as larger real estate assets), and the price achieved on any such realization may

be at a significant discount, especially if the REIT is forced to dispose of any of its assets in a short period of time.

This may reduce the value of the Units and adversely impact the performance of the REIT and return to

Unitholders.

Dilution Risks

If the REIT decides to increase its capital in the future, it may require further financing by issuing units in return for

in-kind contributions or a rights offering. Unless the existing Unitholders participate in such rights offering, the

rights offering may be dilutive to the REIT’s existing Unitholders as their proportionate ownership and voting

interest may be reduced and the percentage that their Units represent of the total Capital.

No Assurance of Investment Returns Risk There is no assurance that the REIT will be able to generate returns for its investors or that the returns will be

commensurate with the risks of investing in the REIT and the nature of the transactions described herein. It is

possible that the Units may fall in value or that investors might lose some or all of the capital they have invested.

There can be no assurance that returns for the REIT will be achieved.

Operating History Risk The fund was established in June 2015. Thus, the REIT has no long operating history itself upon which

Unitholders may evaluate its performance or any track record of success of the assets. Although Unitholders may

consider the Fund Manager’s real estate fund management experience (including the Riyad Real Estate Income

Generating Fund), the nature of, and the risks associated with the REIT’s future investments may differ

substantially from those investments and strategies undertaken historically by the Fund Manager (including

those of the Riyad Real Estate Income Generating Fund). Past results of the Fund Manager and the fund are not

necessarily indicative of future performance.

Changes in Market Conditions Risk

The future performance of the REIT would largely depend on changes in the supply and demand conditions of the

real estate sector, which may be affected by regional and local economic and political conditions, increased

competition thereby a decline in the value of real estate, potential limited availability of mortgage funds or an

increase in mortgage rates, and fluctuations of supply and demand. These changes could have a significant

adverse impact on the performance of the REIT by reducing rental income or decreasing the NAV of the REIT.

Dependence on Key Personnel Risk The success of the REIT will principally depend on the performance its management team, including the members

of the Fund Board. The loss of the services of any of the members of its management team, in general (whether

Page 23: Riyad REIT - الرياض المالية · PDF fileThe admission and listing of the units in Riyad REIT has been approved by the Saudi ... The CMA does not bear any responsibility

22

such loss is through resignation or otherwise), or the inability to attract and retain additional personnel, could

materially affect the REIT’s business and ability to acquire, dispose of and manage assets, hence reducing returns

to investors.

b. Risk Factors Related to the REIT’s Assets

Real Estate Investments Risk

An investment in the Units of the REIT is subject to certain risks associated with the ownership of real estate

related assets and the real estate industry in general. The value of the REIT’s investments may be adversely

affected by, among other things, declines in the value of real estate, illiquidity of an investment, risks related to

regional and local economic conditions, natural disasters, terrorism, environmental liability, increases in financing

costs, the financial condition of tenants, increases in real property taxes, changes in zoning laws and increase in

competition.

Availability of Appropriate Investments Risk

Some, but not all, of the investments of the REIT have been selected by the Fund Manager as of the date hereof,

and investors in the REIT will not have an opportunity to evaluate for themselves the relevant economic, financial

and other information regarding future investments. There can be no assurance that the Fund Manager will be

able to identify future investments that meet the REIT’s investment objectives, particularly in the current market

environment. The business of identifying and structuring investments suitable for the REIT is highly competitive

and involves a high degree of uncertainty. The Fund Manager’s inability to identify suitable investments may

adversely affect the ability of the REIT to produce the desired returns, hence reducing the dividends available to

investors and/or the NAV of the REIT.

Development Risks

While it is not intended that a large portion of the REIT’s portfolio will consist of development projects, the

development of real estate projects in Saudi Arabia presents several specific risks. The risks in building and

successfully marketing a new development include, but are not limited to: (i) delays in timely completion of

works; (ii) cost overruns; (iii) inability to generate lease agreements to forecast levels; and (iv) force majeure

resulting from factors beyond the REIT’s control and specific to the contracting industry (including adverse

weather and environmental conditions and lack of building material that would hinder the development and

construction works).

New project commencement also carries other risks such as the receipt of zoning, occupancy and other required

governmental approvals and permits and development costs in connection with projects that are not pursued to

completion. The successful completion of such projects will have a direct and significant impact on the value of

the Units and any failure to complete a project could reduce dividends and the NAV of the REIT.

Increase in Construction Costs Risk

Page 24: Riyad REIT - الرياض المالية · PDF fileThe admission and listing of the units in Riyad REIT has been approved by the Saudi ... The CMA does not bear any responsibility

23

The construction costs for a property development may exceed forecasts for various reasons including, but not

limited to, delays due to industrial disputes, disputes with sub-contractors, an increase in the cost of building

materials, equipment and labor, inclement weather and unforeseen problems and circumstances. Any increase in

construction costs would reduce the net income of the REIT and as a result reduce the cash available for dividends

to the Unitholders.

If possible, cost overruns will be mitigated by entering into lump sum fixed time and price construction contracts

with contractors with appropriate provisions made for contingencies. However, there is no assurance that the

mitigating measures undertaken will be able to eliminate the risk of incurring substantial cost overruns that result

in losses to investors. In such instances, recourse to the contractors may be limited.

Infrastructure Risk

For the properties under development, the REIT will be relying on the Saudi government and relevant

municipality for providing all the necessary infrastructure to the development sites including sewage, electricity,

water and roads. If the government and municipality do not complete the infrastructure projects in a timely

fashion or as currently expected, this could delay the REIT’s ability to complete or operate the properties and

could detrimentally affect the performance of the REIT due to the delay in commencement of operation of the

properties as planned that would also adversely affect the returns to Unitholders.

Leverage Risk The assets of the REIT may be leveraged, which may adversely affect the income earned by the REIT or may result

in a loss of principal. Increases and decreases in the value of the REIT’s portfolio will be magnified when the REIT

uses leverage. For example, leverage may cause greater swings in the REIT’s Net Asset Value or cause the REIT to

lose more than it has invested. The use of leverage creates an opportunity for increased returns, but at the same

time involves a higher degree of risk and may increase the exposure of the REIT and its investments to factors

such as rising costs of leverage and downturns in the economy. Moreover, the assets of the REIT may be pledged

to a lender (in the interest of the Fund) and such lender may claim the assets upon an event of default (as

specified in the financing documents) by the SPV, the Fund Manager or the REIT.

Actions by Competitors Risk

The REIT competes with other owners, operators and developers of real estate in Saudi Arabia, some of which

may own properties similar to REIT’s properties in the same submarkets. If the REIT’s competitors lease

commercial and/or residential space similar to the REIT’s properties or sell assets similar to the REIT’s properties

at valuations below the REIT’s valuations for comparable assets, the REIT may be unable to lease or selling its

commercial and residential space all. Such may result in an increase in REIT expenses in connection with the

preservation and maintaining the property and also expose the REIT to loss of income from the property, and

hence a decrease in the levels of distribution to Unitholders.

Page 25: Riyad REIT - الرياض المالية · PDF fileThe admission and listing of the units in Riyad REIT has been approved by the Saudi ... The CMA does not bear any responsibility

24

Potential Inability to Complete Divestitures on Advantageous Terms Risk

The REIT will divest itself of its properties and other assets when the Fund Manager believes it is the appropriate

time to sell. The REIT’s ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond its

control, including competition from other sellers and potentially the availability of attractive financing for

potential buyers. If the REIT is unable to dispose of its assets on favorable terms or on the timing the Fund

Manager would otherwise dispose of the assets, then its financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and

ability to make distributions to the investors could be adversely affected.

Counterparty Default and Credit Risks

The REIT will be exposed to a credit risk of parties with whom it conducts business and may also bear risk of

settlement default. The REIT will, in certain circumstances, be fully subject to the default of a counterparty to

comply with contractual obligations, including the landowners, lending banks, property managers and/or

contractors. A default by a counterparty in its contractual obligations or payments due to the REIT could reduce

the income of the REIT and distribution to Unitholders.

Risk of Inability of Tenants to Meet Lease Obligations

The REIT’s results would be adversely affected if a significant number of the REIT’s tenants were unable to meet

their lease obligations. If a tenant seeks the protection of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws, such tenant’s

lease may be terminated in the process and result in a reduction of cash flow to the REIT. In the event of a

significant number of lease defaults and/or tenant bankruptcies, the REIT’s cash flow and ability to make

distributions to the investors would be adversely affected.

Risk of Possible Inability to Renew Leases or Re-let Space as Leases Expire

The REIT will derive most of its income from rent received from the tenants of the properties. Accordingly, the

REIT’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and its ability to make distributions to the investors

could be adversely affected if it is unable to promptly re-let or renew expiring leases, or if the rental rates upon

renewal or re-letting are significantly lower than expected. If a tenant experiences a downturn in its business or

other type of financial distress, then it may be unable to make timely rental payments or renew its lease. Further,

the REIT’s ability to rent space and the rents that it can charge are impacted, not only by tenant demand, but by

the number of other properties it has to compete with to appeal to tenants.

Risk of Uninsured Losses

The REIT will carry commercial liability, property and other types of insurance covering all the property that it

owns and manages in types and amounts that it believes are adequate and appropriate given the relative risks

applicable to the property, the cost of coverage and industry practice. Certain losses, such as those due to

terrorism, windstorms, floods or seismic activity, may be insured subject to certain limitations, including large

Page 26: Riyad REIT - الرياض المالية · PDF fileThe admission and listing of the units in Riyad REIT has been approved by the Saudi ... The CMA does not bear any responsibility

25

deductibles or co-payments and policy limits. The REIT may incur material losses in excess of insurance proceeds

and may not be able to continue to obtain insurance at commercially reasonable rates. If the REIT experiences a

loss that is uninsured or that exceeds its insured limits with respect to one or more of the properties, then it could

lose the capital invested in the damaged properties, as well as the anticipated future revenue from those

properties. Any such losses could adversely affect its financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and

ability to make distributions to the Unitholders.

Risk of Property Valuations

The Fund Manager may use internal valuations in several contexts in relation to the REIT. The valuations

performed by the Fund Manager will only be an estimate of the value of a property and are not a precise measure

of the value that may be obtained in connection with a sale of that property. Ultimate realization of the market

value of a property depends to a great extent on economic and other conditions beyond the control of the REIT

and the Fund Manager, including, without limitation, general market conditions. Further, valuations do not

necessarily represent the price at which a property could be sold given that market prices of the REIT’s properties

can only be determined by negotiation between a willing buyer and seller. If the REIT were to liquidate its assets,

the realized value may be more than or less than the estimated valuation of such assets. In periods of economic

volatility in which there is a perceived greater uncertainty as to value estimates and fewer comparable

transactions against which to measure value, the difference between the concluded value for a real estate asset

and the ultimate market value for that asset may increase. Further, relative uncertainty as to cash flows in a

distressed market can adversely affect the reliability of property value estimates and negotiations between a

buyer and seller, and potentially returns to Unitholders.

c. Other Risk Factors

Legal Status Risk

The REIT is a contractual arrangement between the Unitholders and the Fund Manager. Such contractual

arrangement is governed and supervised by the CMA. The REIT does not have its own legal personality as such

and the extent to which a Saudi government agency or a Saudi court would uphold such distinction between the

legal status of the REIT and that of the Fund Manager is unclear and to our best knowledge untested.

Legal, Tax and Regulatory Risks

The information herein is based on existing published legislation at the time of issuing these Terms and

Conditions. Legal, tax, zakat and regulatory change in the investment environment in the Kingdom, or otherwise,

may occur during the Fund Term which could have an adverse effect on the REIT, its investments, or individual

investors. Currently, no taxes are being assessed on mutual funds in the Kingdom, but there is no assurance that

the current tax regime in the Kingdom will not change.

Page 27: Riyad REIT - الرياض المالية · PDF fileThe admission and listing of the units in Riyad REIT has been approved by the Saudi ... The CMA does not bear any responsibility

26

Government and Municipality Approvals Risk The REIT may fail to achieve its investment objective in case any applicable municipal approval or consent is

denied or not granted on acceptable terms. In such case, the REIT may not be able to complete an investment or

may not be able to complete the development of a real estate project.

Saudization Risk The Saudi Arabian government may require the employment of a high percentage of citizens of the Kingdom in

the development of the Kingdom’s real estate sector (Saudization). It is unclear at this point to what extent the

REIT and its investments will be required to implement Saudization polices. Saudization may require the hiring of

additional employees or additional training and other costs which would entail higher operating costs than

originally anticipated, which would be deducted from the REIT’s net income and thus reduce distributions

available to Unitholders.

Third-Party Litigation Risk

The activities of the REIT’s assets subject them to the risks of becoming involved in litigation by third parties. The

expense of defending against claims by third parties and paying any amounts pursuant to settlements or

judgments would be borne by the REIT and would reduce net assets and reduce potential distributions to

Unitholders.

Limitation/Specification of Liability and Indemnification Risk

The Terms and Conditions limit the circumstances under which Fund Manager, its shareholders, directors,

officers, employees, agents and affiliates, and the members of the Fund Board will be held liable to the REIT and

the Unitholders. As a result, Unitholders may have a more limited right of action in certain cases than they would

have in the absence of such provisions. In addition, the REIT may be liable for certain claims, losses, damages and

expenses of the Fund Manager, the Custodian, developers, property managers, their respective officers, directors,

employees and affiliates, the members of the Shari’ah Board and the members of the Fund Board for certain

claims, losses, damages and expenses arising out of their activities on behalf of the REIT, provided such person

acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best interests of the REIT and was neither

grossly negligent nor engaged in fraud or willful misconduct. Such indemnification obligations could materially

impact the returns to Unitholders.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document may contain forward-looking statements relating to future events or the future performance of

the REIT or its expected assets. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by terminology such

as “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “should,” “will,” the

negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are only predictions. Actual events or

results may differ materially. In evaluating these statements, prospective investors should specifically consider

Page 28: Riyad REIT - الرياض المالية · PDF fileThe admission and listing of the units in Riyad REIT has been approved by the Saudi ... The CMA does not bear any responsibility

27

various factors, including the risks outlined herein. These factors may cause actual events or results to differ

materially from any forward-looking statement.

The foregoing does not purport to be a complete or exhaustive explanation and summary of all the risk factors

involved in an investment in Units in the REIT. It is strongly recommended that all potential investors seek

independent advice from their own professional advisors.

2.8 Subscription

The REIT is a closed-ended real estate investment traded fund with a Capital of SAR 500,000,000 divided into

50,000,000 Units of SAR 10 each.

Subscription for Units

The Capital has been fully allocated and the REIT will not be offering Units to members of the public prior to the

Listing Date.

Minimum Participation

There is no minimum limit for holding Units by a Unitholder in the REIT.

Capital Increase

If the Fund Manager determines that REIT requires an increase in its Capital, the REIT may increase its Capital and

raise equity funding through accepting cash contributions pursuant to the issuance of tradable rights as

applicable on license companies in accordance with the regulatory rules and procedures issued pursuant to the

Companies Law. In such case, existing Unitholders will have priority rights to participate in any rights offering.

Additionally, the REIT may increase its Capital through in-kind subscriptions and any such increase shall not be

considered to be rights issue.

2.9 Fees, Charges and Commissions

(a) Fees and Charges

The following is a summary of the main fees and charges to be paid by the REIT or by investors to the Fund

consulting and related insurance costs and other professional services, including the costs of listing the Units. It is

expected such expenses will not exceed 0.5% of the REIT’s total asset value.

The Fund Manager will be responsible for all of its overhead expenses of managing the REIT, including the

compensation of its employees, the costs of the Shari’ah Board and the cost of its facilities and office space.

(c) Liability

shall not have any liability to the REIT or to any investor for any loss suffered by the REIT that arises out of any

acts or omissions of that party in connection with the conduct of the affairs of the REIT; provided that any party

seeking to rely on such provision has acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in the best

interests of the REIT and was neither grossly negligent nor engaged in fraud or willful misconduct.

(d) Summary Financial Disclosure

The expected fees and expenses to be charged and incurred by the REIT are set forth in the Summary Financial

Disclosure set forth in Schedule B hereto.

(e) Dividends and Distributions

The Fund Manager is targeting to distribute to Unitholders an annual cash dividend of no less than 90% of the

REIT’s Net Profits. It is envisaged that the amount of the annual dividend will increase over the REIT’s term as the

number of income-producing properties in the REIT’s portfolio increases. The Fund Manager may distribute such

Page 31: Riyad REIT - الرياض المالية · PDF fileThe admission and listing of the units in Riyad REIT has been approved by the Saudi ... The CMA does not bear any responsibility

30

amounts more than once a year.

2.10 Evaluating Fund Assets

(a) Method of Evaluating the REIT’s Assets

The Fund Manager shall evaluate the REIT assets based on an evaluation prepared by two independent

evaluators. Under existing arrangements, as at the date of listing the Fund, the valuators, Colliers International

and Barcode Limited, shall value the assets in the REIT’s initial portfolio. The Fund Manager has the right to

change or appoint any new valuator for the REIT without any prior notice to the Unitholders. Such appointment

will be made considering the Fund Manager’s responsibility to the Unitholders.

The price of one Unit will be calculated by deducting total liabilities of the REIT, including any finance liabilities,

fees and expenses payable by the REIT during the relevant period, from REIT total assets, and the output will be

divided by the number of the REIT Units for the same period. Such price shall be an indicative price of the REIT’s

units.

The value of the REIT’s total assets is the sum of all real estate assets, cash and receivables and the market value of

all investments together with the current value of any other assets held. The Fund Manager shall exercise its

reasonable judgment in determining the values to be attributed to assets and liabilities, provided it is acting in

good faith in the interest of the REIT and Unitholders.

The net assets of the Fund shall be owned by the Unitholders, and the Fund Manager or Custodian shall not have

any interest in or claim against such assets. Creditors of the Fund Manager and the Custodian shall not have any

entitlement to the REIT assets.

(b) Number and Timing of Evaluation

The Fund Manager shall value the Fund’s assets by appointing two independent valuators accredited by the Saudi

Authority for Accredited Valuators, but not less than once every six months and at such other times as it

determines necessary (each such day, a “Valuation Day”). The Fund Manager may postpone the valuation of the

REIT’s assets after obtaining the approval of the CMA, in accordance with Article 22 of the Real Estate Investment

Funds Regulations.

In case of discrepancy between the valuations prepared by both valuators, the average of both amount shall be

adopted.

(c) Manner of Announcing the Unit Price
