HEKTAR Real Estate Investment Trust

Foreword 

The past performance of Hektar Real Estate Investment Trust ("Hektar REIT") is not indicative of the future performance of Hektar REIT. Likewise, the past performance of the manager for Hektar REIT, Hektar Asset Management Sdn Bhd ("Manager") is not indicative of the future performance of the Manager.

The value of units in Hektar REIT ("Units") and the income derived from them may fluctuate. Units are not obligations of, deposits in, or guaranteed by, the Manager. An investment in Units is subject to investment risks, including the possible loss of the principal amount invested. Investors have no right to request that the Manager redeem or purchase their Units while the Units are listed. It is intended that holders of Units may only deal in their Units through trading on Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad ("Bursa Securities"). Listing of the Units on the Bursa Securities does not guarantee a liquid market for the Units.

This website may contain forward-looking statements that involve assumptions, risks and uncertainties. Actual future performance, outcomes and results may differ materially from those expressed in forward-looking statements as a result of a number of risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Representative examples of these factors include (without limitation) general industry and economic conditions, interest rate trends, cost of capital and capital availability, competition from other developments or companies, shifts in expected levels of occupancy rate, property rental income, charge out collections, changes in operating expenses (including employee wages, benefits and training costs), governmental and public policy changes and the continued availability of financing in the amounts and the terms necessary to support future business.

You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which are based on the current view of management on future events.
