INTRODUCTION
CDL Hospitality Trusts ("CDLHT") is one of Asia's leading hospitality trusts with assets valued at S$2.8 billion. CDLHT is a stapled group comprising CDL Hospitality Real Estate Investment Trust ("H-REIT"), a real estate investment trust, and CDL Hospitality Business Trust ("HBT"), a business trust (collectively the "Group"). CDLHT was listed on the Singapore Exchange Securities Trading Limited on 19 July 2006. M&C REIT Management Limited is the manager of H-REIT, the first hotel real estate investment trust in Singapore, and M&C Business Trust Management Limited is the trustee-manager of HBT.
CDLHT was established with the principal investment strategy of investing in a portfolio of hospitality and/or hospitality- related real estate assets. As at 31 December 2019, CDLHT owns 16 hotels and two resorts comprising a total of 5,088 rooms as well as a retail mall. The properties under CDLHT's portfolio include:
- six hotels in the gateway city of Singapore comprising Orchard Hotel, Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel, M Hotel, Copthorne King's Hotel, Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay and Studio M Hotel (collectively, the "Singapore Hotels"), as well as a retail mall adjoining Orchard Hotel (Claymore Connect);
- three hotels in Brisbane and Perth, Australia comprising Novotel Brisbane, Mercure Perth and Ibis Perth (collectively, the "Australia Hotels");
- two hotels in Japan's gateway city of Tokyo comprising Hotel MyStays Asakusabashi and Hotel MyStays Kamata (collectively, the "Japan Hotels");
- one hotel in New Zealand's gateway city of Auckland, namely Grand Millennium Auckland (the "New Zealand Hotel");
- two hotels in United Kingdom (Hilton Cambridge City Centre in Cambridge and The Lowry Hotel in Manchester) (the "UK Hotels");
- one hotel in Germany's gateway of Munich, namely Pullman Hotel Munich (the "German Hotel");
- one hotel in the historic city centre of Florence, Italy, namely Hotel Cerretani Firenze - MGallery (the "Italy Hotel"); and
- two resorts in Maldives, comprising Angsana Velavaru and Raffles Maldives Meradhoo (previously known as Dhevanafushi Maldives Luxury Resort, Managed by AccorHotels) (collectively, the "Maldives Resorts").
The above portfolio of properties exclude Mercure Brisbane and Ibis Brisbane, which were divested on 11 January 2018.
HBT Group owns Hilton Cambridge City Centre and The Lowry Hotel and is also the master lessee of H-REIT Group's Japan Hotels and Raffles Maldives Meradhoo. It will continue its function as a master lessee of last resort and may undertake certain hospitality and hospitality-related development projects, acquisitions and investments which may not be suitable or deemed suitable for H-REIT.
On 27 November 2018, H-REIT through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CDLHT CFM One Pte. Ltd., completed its acquisition of a 95.0% interest in Hotel Cerretani Firenze - MGallery ("Hotel Cerretani Firenze") and the fixtures, furniture and equipment therein.
CDLHT's distribution policy is to distribute at least 90.0% of its taxable income and all of its tax exempt income (if any), with the actual level of distribution to be determined at the H-REIT Manager's and HBT Trustee-Manager's discretion. CDLHT makes distributions to stapled securityholders on a semi-annual basis, with the amount calculated as at 30 June and 31 December each year for the nine-month period ending on each of the said dates. Distributions, when paid, will be in Singapore dollars.

- Revenue comprises rental revenue and hotel revenue from CDLHT's properties. Please refer to Section 8 (i), page 28 to 29 of the Announcement.
- The decrease in revenue and overall property expenses for HBT Group in FY 2019 is mainly attributed to the closure at Raffles Maldives Meradhoo for rebranding works during the year. The revenue and property expenses increased in 4Q 2019 after the resort re-opened in September 2019.
- The employee benefit expenses for Raffles Maldives Meradhoo increased in 4Q 2019 and FY 2019 due to the hiring of staff for the resort which opened in September 2019.
- Rental expenses for HBT Group and CDLHT have decreased in 4Q 2019 and FY 2019 as compared to the corresponding period last year as the Group has adopted FRS 116/SFRS(I) 16 Leases with effect from 1 January 2019. Accordingly, the Group's existing lease expenses for operating lease arrangements under FRS 116/SFRS(I) 16 are replaced with depreciation charge on right-of-use ("ROU") assets and interest expense on lease liabilities. Please refer to Section 5, page 25 of the Announcement for more details.
- The decrease in property taxes in 4Q 2019 and FY 2019 is mainly attributed to tax savings from the Singapore properties following the finalisation of prior year assessments.
- CDLHT's other property expenses comprise mainly utilities, insurance and other direct operating expenses. In 4Q 2019 and FY 2019, H-REIT Group's expenses have decreased yoy primarily due to the adoption of FRS 116/SFRS(I) 16 in relation to its lease of the units at Waterfront Conference Centre. In contrast, CDLHT's and HBT's expenses increased yoy mainly due to the re-opening of Raffles Maldives Meradhoo resort.
Included in other property expenses for 4Q 2019 and FY 2019 is an impairment loss of S$3K and S$163K respectively, relating to the rental receivables of Claymore Connect. Conversely, the retail mall recognised a write-back of prior year impairment loss of S$86K in FY 2018.
- The increase in HBT Trustee-Manager's management fees in FY 2019 is attributed to the alignment of its fee structure to H-REIT Manager which was approved by Stapled Securityholders through an Extraordinary General Meeting held on 27 April 2018. With effect from 1 May 2018, HBT Trustee-Manager's management fees comprises a base fee of 0.25% per annum of the value of HBT's deposited property and a performance fee of 5.0% per annum of HBT's net property income.

- Included in depreciation is depreciation charge on right-of-use ("ROU") assets relating to property, plant and equipment.

- On 22 December 2017, CDLHT entered into a sale and purchase agreement to sell Mercure Brisbane and Ibis Brisbane in Australia for a total consideration of A$77.0 million. The sale was completed on 11 January 2018 and CDLHT recognised a gain on disposal of S$5.4 million in FY 2018. There was no such disposal in FY 2019.
- This relates to the annual revaluation of land and buildings included as part of property, plant and equipment under the revaluation model adopted by CDLHT. The impairment loss in FY 2019 arose mainly from Raffles Maldives Meradhoo.
- This relates to net fair value gain recognised from the revaluation of CDLHT's investment properties as at 31 December 2019. Please refer to Section 1(b)(i) footnote (b) on page 11 of the Announcement for details.

- Fair value gain/loss on derivatives relates to the re-measurement of foreign exchange forward contracts to partially hedge H-REIT's and HBT's income from overseas as well as EUR/USD cross-currency interest rate swap contracts entered into by H-REIT to partially hedge its interest cost.
- The exchange loss of CDLHT for FY 2019 mainly arose from the depreciation of Australian dollar ("AUD") and Euro ("EUR") denominated receivables and cash balances against SGD. In contrast, CDLHT benefitted from an exchange gain in 4Q 2019 attributed to translation gains from the United States dollar ("USD") bank loans. During the comparative period in 4Q 2018 and FY 2018, the exchange loss arose mainly from the translation losses from the USD denominated bank loans as well as the depreciation of AUD.
- The interest paid/payable to banks for FY 2019 were higher yoy mainly due to interest incurred on new loans drawndown in FY 2018 for the acquisition of Hotel Cerretani Firenze on 27 November 2018 and the renovation and rebranding works on the Group's properties as well as higher funding cost on its floating rate loans.
- The amortisation costs in 4Q 2019 and FY 2019 relate to the amortisation of transaction costs arising from CDLHT's borrowings.
- CDLHT has adopted FRS 116/SFRS(I) 16 Leases with effect from 1 January 2019. Accordingly, the Group's existing lease expenses for operating lease arrangements under FRS 116/SFRS(I) 16 are replaced with depreciation charge of ROU assets related to property, plant and equipment and interest expense on lease liabilities. Additionally, the sublease of Waterfront Conference Centre under H-REIT Group was classified as a finance lease, resulting in an interest income from finance lease. Please refer to Section 5, page 25 of the Announcement for more details.

Footnotes
- The Statement of Financial Position of HBT Group comprises the resort operations of Raffles Maldives Meradhoo, the Japan Hotels and the UK Hotels.
-
The decrease in investment properties at HREIT Group was mainly due to the reclassification of Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay to asset held for sale. However, the decrease was partially offset by the recognition of net fair value gain of H-REIT Group investment properties at the end of the financial year. The details are as follows:
The investment properties were valued by Knight Frank Pte Ltd, CBRE Valuations Pty Limited, CBRE Limited, C & W (U.K.) LLP, C & W (U.K.) LLP (Italian Branch), C & W (U.K.) LLP - German Branch, Cushman & Wakefield K.K., Jones Lang LaSalle Property Consultants Pte Ltd and Jones Lang LaSalle Advisory Services Pty Limited, all independent registered valuers, and adopted in the financial statements of the Group as at 31 December 2019 as follows:

The valuation at H-REIT Group's investment properties gave rise to a net fair value gain of S$46.8 million as at 31 December 2019 (31 December 2018: net fair value gain of S$28.7 million). This net fair value is recognised in H-REIT Group's Statement of Total Return for FY 2019 and has no impact on the income available for distribution to holders of Stapled Securities.
Included in H-REIT Group's investment properties as at 31 December 2019 is a net translation loss of S$20.0 million (31 December 2018: net translation loss of S$17.6 million) relating to its overseas properties.
On 21 November 2019, CDLHT announced its proposed divestment of Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay. Accordingly, this investment property valued, at S$368.7 million, has been reclassified to assets held for sale.
-
The property, plant and equipment at H-REIT Group and HBT Group comprise the Japan Hotels and the UK Hotels respectively.
The property, plant and equipment at CDLHT comprise the Japan Hotels, Raffles Maldives Meradhoo and the UK Hotels. For Raffles Maldives Meradhoo, the property is leased by H-REIT's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary to HBT's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. For the Japan Hotels, there is a master lease arrangement between a trust bank in Japan (in its capacity as the trust bank holding the legal title to the Japan Hotels) and HBT's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary. As these properties are considered property held for use as owner-occupied properties, they are classified as property, plant and equipment instead of investment property in CDLHT's financial statements.
CDLHT has adopted FRS 116/SFRS(I) 16 Leases with effect from 1 January 2019. Accordingly, operating leases that qualify as ROU assets relating to property, plant and equipment has been recognised on CDLHT's balance sheet and prepaid land lease has been reclassified to property, plant and equipment. Please refer to Section 5, page 25 of the Announcement for more details.
The increase in property, plant and equipment at CDLHT is mainly due to the recognition of ROU assets related to property, plant and equipment of S$22.0 million (as described above), net additions of S$18.3 million and a net translation gain of S$1.1 million, offset by a net revaluation loss on land and buildings of S$11.3 million and depreciation expenses of S$11.3 million for the period.

Whether the same accounting principles and methods of computation as in the issuer's most recent audited financial statements have been applied
The accounting policies and methods of computation adopted are consistent with those applied in the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, except as disclosed in Section 5 below.
- If there are any changes in the accounting policies and methods of computation, including any required by an accounting standard, what has changed, as well as the reasons for, and the effect of, the change
On 1 January 2019, H-REIT Group, HBT Group and CDLHT (collectively, the "Group") adopted FRS 116 / SFRS(I) 16 Leases, a new accounting standard that became effective for annual periods beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
Under FRS 116 / SFRS(I) 16, a single, on-balance sheet lease accounting model for lessees is applied. A lessee recognises a ROU" asset representing its right to use the underlying asset and a lease liability representing its obligation to make lease payments. Remaining lease payments under the operating leases will be recognised at their present value discounted using an appropriate discount rate and the nature of expenses will now change as FRS 116 / SFRS(I) 16 replaces the straight-line operating lease expense with depreciation charge of ROU assets (where relevant) and interest expense on lease liabilities.
As a lessee, the Group has adopted FRS 116 / SFRS(I) 16 using the modified retrospective approach. Therefore, the cumulative effect of adopting FRS 116 / SFRS(I) 16 has been recognised as an adjustment to the opening balance of unitholders' funds as at 1 January 2019, with no restatement of comparative information. The Group has applied the practical expedient to grandfather the definition of a lease on transition and the practical expedient to recognise ROU assets equal to their lease liabilities as at 1 January 2019.
As intermediate lessor, the intermediate lessor enters into a head lease and a sublease of the same underlying asset. Under FRS 116 / SFRS(I) 16, the intermediate lessor classifies the sublease as a finance lease when the sub-lease term is for the major part of the economic life of the underlying asset. The intermediate lessor shall derecognise its ROU asset relating to the head lease it transfers to the sublessee and recognises a finance lease receivable. During the term of the sublease, the intermediate lessor recognises both interest income on the sublease and interest expense on the head lease.
The effects of this change in accounting policy are set out below:
H-REIT Group
ROU assets (recognised under investment properties) of S$19.9 million, finance lease receivable of S$6.5 million and lease liabilities of S$26.4 million, respectively, have been recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as at 1 January 2019. Interest income of S$0.2 million and interest expense of S$1.3 million have been recognised in the Statement of Total Return for the year ended 31 December 2019.
HBT Group
ROU assets (recognised under property, plant and equipment) and corresponding lease liabilities of S$52.1 million have been recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as at 1 January 2019. Additional S$5.8 million ROU assets and lease liabilities was recognised following the extension of car park lease agreement for Lowry Hotel during the year. Depreciation of ROU assets and interest expense of S$3.0 million and S$2.5 million, respectively, have been recognised in the Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year ended 31 December 2019.
CDLHT
ROU assets (recognised under investment properties) of S$10.8 million, ROU assets (recognised under property, plant and equipment) of S$17.8 million, finance lease receivable of S$6.5 million and lease liabilities of S$35.1 million, have been recognised in the Statement of Financial Position as at 1 January 2019. Additional S$5.8 million ROU assets and lease liabilities was recognised following the extension of car park lease agreement for Lowry Hotel during the year. In addition, prepaid land lease with a carrying amount of S$6.8 million as at 1 January 2019 has been reclassified to property, plant and equipment. Interest income of S$0.2 million, depreciation of ROU assets of S$0.7 million and interest expense of S$1.8 million have been recognised in the Statement of Total Return for the year ended 31 December 2019.

With effect from 1 January 2019, CDLHT adopted FRS 116/SFRS(I) 16 Leases (see Section 5 on page 25 of the Announcement).
Under H-REIT, the sub-lease of Waterfront Conference Centre was classified as a finance lease receivable to match the head lease of this property with CDL which was capitalised under FRS 116/SFRS(I) 16 as described above. As a result of this change, CDLHT's revenue from the Singapore Hotels declined by S$0.2 million and S$0.9 million for 4Q 2019 and FY 2019 respectively. On a like-for-like basis (as if FRS 116/SFRS(I) 16 were not in place), the revenue from the Singapore Hotels would have been S$24.8 million and S$89.2 million for 4Q 2019 and FY 2019 respectively.

With effect from 1 January 2019, CDLHT adopted FRS 116/SFRS(I) 16 Leases (see Section 5 on page 25 of the Announcement). This change required existing lease expenses for operating lease arrangements (previously included in NPI) to be replaced by depreciation charge on ROU assets related to property, plant and equipment and/or interest expenses on lease liabilities.
As a result of this change, CDLHT's NPI for 4Q 2019 has increased by S$0.4 million as lease expenses of S$0.3 million and S$0.1 million for Maldives and UK respectively have now been replaced by a depreciation charge on ROU assets on property, plant and equipment and interest expense on lease liabilities. On a like-for-like basis (as if FRS 116/SFRS(I) 16 were not in place), the NPI for 4Q 2019 would have been S$(0.6) million and S$3.2 million for Maldives and UK respectively.
Correspondingly, CDLHT's NPI for FY 2019 has increased by S$1.0 million as lease expenses of S$1.4 million and S$0.6 million for Maldives and UK respectively have now been replaced by a depreciation charge on ROU assets on property, plant and equipment and interest expense on lease liabilities. On a like-for-like basis (as if FRS 116/SFRS(I) 16 were not in place), the NPI for FY 2019 would have been S$(2.7) million and S$12.1 million for Maldives and UK respectively.

-
Master Lease
There is a master lease agreement between H-REIT's indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, Sanctuary Sands Maldives Private Limited (the "Lessor") and Maldives Bay Pvt Ltd (the "Lessee"), a subsidiary of Banyan Tree Holdings Limited. The revenue for the reporting period comprises a minimum rent of US$500,000 per month (based on a current minimum rent of US$6.0 million per annum).
There is a minimum rent top-up cap of US$6.0 million and there shall be no further minimum rent top-ups payable by Lessee to Lessor after the cumulative top-ups reach US$6.0 million. In 4Q 2019 and FY 2019, the Lessee paid the Lessor a top-up amount of nil and US$0.9 million (4Q 2018/FY 2018: US$0.2 million and US$2.4 million). For the reporting period, gross revenue declined as the cumulative minimum rent top-up has reached its limit. The Lessee fully paid the Lessor a cumulative top-up amount of US$6.0 million and no further top-ups are available going forward. A final adjustment of this cumulative top-up will be made once the full year results for the resort are ascertained at year end. - Managed hotel
There is a lease agreement between H-REIT and HBT's indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries.
In turn, HBT's indirect wholly owned subsidiary, CDL HBT Oceanic Maldives Private Limited ("CDL HBT Oceanic") engaged AccorHotels (previously managed by Jumeirah Management Services (Maldives) Private Limited) to operate the resort. The resort initially operated as Dhevanafushi Maldives Luxury Resort, Managed by AccorHotels, and following enhancements during its closure since 1 June 2018, has been rebranded as Raffles Maldives Meradhoo in May 2019 to join the iconic collection of Raffles Hotels and Resorts.
For the H-REIT Group, the revenue for 4Q 2019 and FY 2019 includes S$1.0 million (US$0.7 million) and S$4.1 million (US$3.0 million) rental income from HBT Group respectively. For the HBT Group, the revenue for the reporting period comprises the entire revenue derived from the operations of the resort. The net property loss of S$1.4 million and S$7.7 million for 4Q 2019 and FY 2019 arose mainly due to higher sales & marketing and other expenses related to the opening of the resort in September 2019.

H-REIT AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND HBT AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019
8 (iii) Review of the Performance
Fourth Quarter ended 31 December 2019
CDLHT posted gross revenue of S$54.0 million in 4Q 2019, an increase of S$1.7 million or 3.2% against the same period last year. A full quarter's contribution from the rebranded Raffles Maldives Meradhoo resort (S$2.6 million) and the Italy Hotel (S$0.3 million) (acquired 27 November 2018) as well as higher contribution from the Singapore Hotels (S$1.2 million) boosted the total portfolio income. However, the revenue growth was offset by lower contribution from the rest of the group's properties, which posted a collective year-on-year ("yoy") decline of S$2.4 million. A substantial portion of the collective decline was due to the expected reduced income from Pullman Hotel Munich, stemming from the cyclicality in the city's events calendar.
The Singapore Hotels achieved an occupancy of 87.2%, with a positive yoy RevPAR growth of 5.1%, the strongest quarterly yoy RevPAR growth since 2012. Healthy visitor arrivals and citywide demand compression amidst the presence of strong convention business in 4Q 2019 provided a boost to the Singapore Hotel's results. The robust increase was achieved despite ongoing room renovations in Copthorne King's Hotel, which commenced in October 2019.
For the reporting quarter, Angsana Velavaru posted a RevPAR decline of 18.6% yoy, primarily due to the disruption caused by the asset enhancement works to the beach villas and the completion of the main public pool. The resort also faced increased competition from supply growth. Raffles Maldives Meradhoo recorded its first full trading quarter since the official opening on 22 September 2019. In the same quarter last year, the resort was fully closed for renovation works. Extensive sales and marketing activities paid off in December 2019 with the resort welcoming its first five-night resort buy-out which contributed significantly to revenue. The resort is still going through a gestation period with many travel partners visiting the resort first before actively promoting the refurbished resort.
The Australia Hotels continues to receive fixed rent for 4Q 2019 but overall gross revenue contribution to CDLHT (in SGD terms) was lower due to a weaker AUD.
The New Zealand Hotel posted a yoy marginal growth of 0.5% in RevPAR in 4Q 2019. Business was healthy in the high season aided by a stronger concerts calendar during the reporting quarter. However, the hotel's contribution to the group (in SGD terms) was negatively impacted by the weaker NZD against SGD.
In 4Q 2019, the Japan Hotels posted a RevPAR decline of 14.4% yoy, as a result of a softer citywide events and concerts calendar, as well as a surge in new supply from the limited service hotel category and recovering number of alternative accommodation listings such as Airbnb. In the same period last year, there were three major concerts by international artists as well as a major biennial fair. The South Korea-Japan trade tension also had a significant adverse effect on the South Korean visitation to Japan, which recorded a sharp decline of 64.7% yoy in 4Q 2019.
Collectively, the UK Hotels posted a RevPAR decline of 3.7% yoy. At The Lowry Hotel, RevPAR was impacted by fewer sporting events and a softer entertainment calendar. At Hilton Cambridge City Centre, the hotel experienced a marginal decline amidst a competitive trading environment.
In Germany, the absence of a major congress and trade fair in October and November 2019 respectively due to the cyclical nature of Munich's fair calendar led to a yoy RevPAR contraction of 10.2% yoy at Pullman Hotel Munich. Correspondingly, this had a substantial negative effect on the hotel's overall performance but was fully anticipated. The performance will normalise on a full year basis.
The Italy Hotel saw a marginal RevPAR increase of 2.6% yoy, largely driven by a growth in average room rate.

UNAUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS ANNOUNCEMENT OF CDL HOSPITALITY TRUSTS,
H-REIT AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND HBT AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019
In aggregate, CDLHT recorded NPI1 of S$ 38.0 million in 4Q 2019, a nominal decline of 1.2% or S$0.4 million against the same period last year.
Interest costs for the reporting quarter remained flat compared to the same period last year.
CDLHT revalued its properties as at 31 December 2019 and recorded an overall net fair value gain of S$49.0 million. The fair value gain (in SGD terms) arose from its Singapore, Japan and Germany properties and was offset mainly by fair value losses from its Maldives and New Zealand properties. These revaluation gains/losses do not have any impact on the unitholders distribution.
Total distribution (after deducting income retained for working capital) in 4Q 2019 was S$33.6 million, 0.6% higher than the same period last year. Included therein is a capital distribution of S$10.5 million from the Group's properties, out of which a portion relates to the partial distribution of proceeds from the Group's disposal of its Mercure and Ibis Brisbane properties previously.
The distribution per Stapled Security ("DPS") (after deducting income retained for working capital) for 4Q 2019 remained stable yoy at 2.77 cents.
Statistics on the weighted average occupancy rate, daily rate and RevPAR for the Singapore Hotels are set out below:
Average Occupancy Rate | 4Q 2019 | 4Q 2018 | Increase/(Decline) |
87.2% | 85.8% | 1.4pp | |
Average Daily Rate | S$192 | S$186 | 3.3% |
RevPAR | S$168 | S$160 | 5.1% |
Twelve months ended 31 December 2019
CDLHT posted gross revenue of S$196.9 million in FY 2019, 2.4% lower than FY 2018. Although there was recognition of a full year's revenue boost of S$2.8 million from the Italy Hotel and higher yoy contribution from Pullman Hotel Munich (S$0.2 million), this was offset by reduced contribution of S$7.9 million year-on-year ("yoy") from the rest of the other properties. Major asset enhancement works at Raffles Maldives Meradhoo, Orchard Hotel and Angsana Velavaru affected the group's portfolio performance. Raffles Maldives Meradhoo closed in June 2018 for rebranding works and only re-opened in end September 2019 while Orchard Hotel carried out extensive renovation works on its rooms and all events space in first half of 2019. Angsana Velavaru also carried out progressive renovation works with the addition of a new main public pool and 79 land villas (out of which 43 villas were completed in 2019) being renovated in phases.
The Singapore Hotels turned in a positive yoy RevPAR growth of 1.6% in FY 2019. This was supported by a stronger leisure market with potentially some degree of diversion of tourism flows to Singapore as a result of the unrest in Hong Kong. This increase was achieved despite the progressive renovation works undertaken on some of the Singapore Hotels during the year. The Singapore market experienced softness in the first half amidst a very competitive environment but showed some strength in the second half. In 1H 2019, regional elections, coupled with the absence of the biennial Singapore Airshow, ASEAN Ministerial Meeting series and Food&Hotel Asia collectively resulted in a softer market. This was mitigated by a stronger convention events calendar coupled with stronger leisure travel which uplifted the overall performance of the hotels in 2H 2019. RevPAR growth for 2H 2019 was 5.0%, the strongest half-year yoy growth since 2012.
- CDLHT's net property income ("NPI") is derived after deducting the operating expenses of Raffles Maldives Meradhoo, the Japan Hotels, the UK Hotels, as well as property tax and insurance expenses of the portfolio.

H-REIT AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES AND HBT AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2019
Although there was an increase of 14.7% in tourist arrivals to the Maldives for 20192, this was more than offset by the 16.8%3 increase in supply. As such, trading conditions continue to remain challenging with new resorts offering promotional packages. As expected, Raffles Maldives Meradhoo is going through a gestation period following its opening in September 2019 as the resort ramps up and re-enters the market amidst an influx of luxury supply. As for Angsana Velavaru, the resort embarked on enhancement works to improve its product offering and positioning, but the attendant renovation works from May to December negatively impacted the performance due to disruptions caused during the renovation period. Notwithstanding this, Angsana Velavaru managed a slight yoy RevPAR growth of 0.6% for FY 2019.
The Australia hotels continue to receive fixed rent, but the overall gross rental contribution (in SGD terms) was lower due to the weaker AUD.
For the New Zealand Hotel, new supply and weaker Chinese visitor arrivals during the year affected the performance of the hotel, with RevPAR for FY 2019 declining by 3.3% yoy. As similar manning levels were required to cope with the volume-centric strategy deployed for revenue optimisation, a rising minimum wage environment also impacted the hotel's performance. In addition, contribution (in SGD terms) was also affected by the weaker NZD against SGD.
The Group's Japan Hotels in Tokyo had a good start to the year and recorded RevPAR growth of 3.0% yoy for 1H 2019. This was however reversed in the latter half of the year, as the trade conflict with South Korea severely affected South Korean arrivals and far outweighed the positive impact of the 2019 Rugby World Cup. Increased supply and recovering number of alternative accommodation such as Airbnb continued to weigh on the market as well. Consequently, the Japan Hotels saw a FY 2019 RevPAR decline of 6.5% yoy.
In the UK, uncertainty surrounding Brexit affected the whole of 2019 and continued into the new year with the extension of deadline to 31 January 2020. An overall lighter sporting and events calendar, coupled with downtime associated with the refurbishment of its restaurant and bar, resulted in a revenue decline for The Lowry Hotel. Hilton Cambridge City Centre was also affected by continued price competition from new supply that opened in 2018. Consequently, RevPAR for the UK Hotels declined slightly by 1.4% with its contribution further diminished by the weaker GBP against SGD.
In Munich, the fair calendar in 2019 featured two large events but had less overall event days during the year as compared to 2018. Accordingly, Pullman Hotel Munich reported a growth of 1.2% yoy in RevPAR, which was also supported by the increase in total arrivals into Munich which grew 5.6% yoy to 8.0 million for YTD November 20194.
Hotel Cerretani Firenze recorded its first full year of contribution since its acquisition at the end of November 2018. The hotel adopted an enhanced revenue optimisation strategy through the management of its pricing and volume strategy and attained a RevPAR growth of 6.5% for FY 2019.
In line with the decline in gross revenue, CDLHT recorded NPI5 of S$141.2 million, a decrease of 3.3% yoy.
Interest costs for FY 2019 was higher than the same period last year, mainly the result of higher funding costs and increased interest expense incurred on additional loans drawn to finance the acquisition of the Italy Hotel and for some asset enhancements works on the Group's properties.
CDLHT revalued its properties as at 31 December 2019 and recorded an overall net fair value gain of S$49.0 million. The fair value gain (in SGD terms) arose from its Singapore, Japan and Germany properties and was offset mainly by fair value losses from its Maldives and New Zealand properties. These revaluation gains/losses do not have any impact on the unitholders distribution.

10 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
Visitor arrivals to Singapore grew 2.9% yoy to 17.4 million for year-to-date ("YTD") Nov 2019. Increased visitation from China, USA, Japan and Indonesia contributed to more than 75% of the growth recorded. Eight out of Singapore's top ten source markets also recorded growth. With an increase in the average length of stay in Singapore, total visitor days grew 4.0% yoy1.
This year, Singapore will see the return of biennial city-wide events such as the Singapore Airshow and Food&HotelAsia (expanding into two dedicated events for the first time) as well as a number of inaugural events like International Trademark Association's 142nd Annual Meeting (8,000 expected attendees) and the 103rd Lions Clubs International Convention (20,000 expected foreign attendees)2 . To support further visitation growth, Singapore continually invests in the expansion of its aviation infrastructure, such as the extensive makeover of Terminal 2 to increase passenger capacity and enhance passenger experience3. A new multimillion-dollar marketing partnership with Royal Caribbean International and Changi Airport Group is also expected to bring some 623,000 international fly-cruise visitors to Singapore between end-2019 and 20244.
On the supply front, Singapore hotel inventory is estimated to increase by 789 net rooms5 in 2020, representing approximately 1.1% of existing room stock. Limited future supply growth is supportive for the hotel sector. For the first 28 days of January 2020, RevPAR for Singapore Hotels increased by 4.1% as compared to the same period last year.
As part of ongoing asset enhancement initiatives and to continually optimise the potential of CDLHT's assets, pipeworks and refurbishment of guest rooms are currently being carried out at Copthorne King's Hotel, which are expected to complete in mid 2020. The works are being progressed in phases to minimise disruption and the hotel remains operational. Asset enhancement opportunities in other Singapore Hotels are also being evaluated strategically.
In New Zealand, total arrivals increased 0.8% yoy to 3.4 million for YTD November 20196 but growing hotel supply is likely to result in an increasingly competitive trading environment. During January to March 2021, Auckland will host a major sporting event - the America's Cup sailing regatta and related challenger series, which is expected to drive hotel demand in the lead up to and during the event7.
In Japan, visitor arrivals grew 2.2% yoy to 31.9 million for 20198. The Japan-South Korea trade spat continues to weigh on Japan's economy and hospitality market9, with visitor arrivals from South Korea, the second largest source market for Japan, declining 51.1%8 yoy for 2H 2019. The implementation of sales tax hike is expected to dampen consumer sentiment10, while new supply in the limited service hotel sector in Tokyo and the rebound in number of alternative accommodation listings such as Airbnb11 will also pose near term competitive pressure. The Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics will provide some yielding opportunities for the Japan Hotels due to expected citywide compression.
Tourism arrivals remain healthy in Maldives, driven mainly by growth in visitor arrivals from India and Europe12. The government is also stepping up efforts to boost tourism, with a recent proposal to increase the 2020 state budget for tourism promotion by close to fifty percent13. Trading conditions continue to remain highly competitive in the near term due to new resorts supply. Raffles Maldives Meradhoo will undergo a gestation period for a few years before reaching a normalised occupancy level as it continues to build up awareness of the resort through sales and marketing activities. For Angsana Velavaru, 43 out of the 79 land villas have been renovated, with infinity pools being added to 24 of these land villas at the end of last year, ahead of the peak travel season.

Uncertainty over the economic impact and trade deal with the European Union (EU) post Brexit may continue to pose headwinds to overall demand in UK14. In the near term, both the Cambridge and Manchester markets will see an increase in hotel inventory.
In continental Europe, moderation in economic growth is expected in both Germany and Italy15. Notwithstanding this, tourism demand in Munich remains healthy with total arrivals increasing 5.6% yoy to 8.0 million for YTD November 201916 while total arrivals to Florence remains largely unchanged for YTD September 201917. Due to the cyclical nature of Munich's fair calendar, there will be fewer events for 1H 2020 but a robust line-up of events is expected in 2H 2020.
While the ongoing Wuhan coronavirus outbreak is still at an early stage, regional travel and business and consumer confidence will be affected, given that China is the world's largest outbound travel market. CDLHT is actively monitoring the situation and ensuring that its portfolio of hotels is putting in place measures to manage the situation for its guests and staff.
In January 2020, CDLHT obtained Stapled Securityholders' approval for the redevelopment of Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay ("NCQ") and the acquisition of W Singapore - Sentosa Cove ("W Hotel"). The redevelopment of NCQ involves the divestment of NCQ and the forward purchase of a brand new lifestyle hotel within the same site, which is expected to complete around 202518. NCQ will cease operations in early April 2020 and its divestment is expected to complete in end April 2020, while the acquisition of W Hotel is expected to complete in 1H 2020. The net divestment proceeds may be used to fund acquisitions; repay existing borrowings; and/or make distributions to Stapled Securityholders (to also mitigate the net effects of the divestment on distributable income).
With a strong balance sheet and ample debt headroom, CDLHT will continue to actively pursue suitable acquisitions to diversify and augment its income streams. CDLHT will also continue to evaluate suitable divestment opportunities as they arise to unlock underlying asset values and/or recycle capital for better returns.

Fourth Quarter ended 31 December 2019
In 4Q 2019, CDLHT's Singapore Hotels recorded higher NPI contribution, underpinned by a stronger underlying performance and better trading conditions. Hotel Cerretani Firenze - MGallery, acquired in end November 2018, also provided inorganic support to the overall portfolio NPI.
However, overall NPI for the quarter decreased slightly by 1.2% year-on-year ("yoy") to S$38.0 million as lower contribution from CDLHT's other overseas properties more than offset growth. A significant portion of the overseas NPI decline was due to the anticipated reduced income from Pullman Hotel Munich, stemming from the cyclicality in the city's events calendar. Trading conditions in Tokyo (Japan) and Maldives were competitive while contribution from Australia and New Zealand were lower due to a weaker local currency.

Overall, total distribution to Stapled Securityholders (after retention for working capital) for 4Q 2019 was S$33.6 million while DPS was stable at 2.77 cents.
Full Year ended 31 December 2019
For FY 2019, major asset enhancement works at Raffles Maldives Meradhoo and Orchard Hotel (Singapore) affected the portfolio's performance. Raffles Maldives Meradhoo closed in June 2018 for its rebranding exercise and fully reopened in end September 2019 while extensive renovations were carried out on rooms and all events spaces at Orchard Hotel during the first half of the 2019. There was also disruption from renovation works in Angsana Velavaru (Maldives) in the second half of 2019.
In addition, the absence of the meetings hosted during Singapore's Chairmanship of ASEAN and two major biennial events contributed to lower NPI for the Singapore Hotels during the first half of the year. The New Zealand, Australia, Japan and UK properties also saw lower contribution, in part due to the weaker currencies in some of these markets.
The collective decline was partially mitigated by the stronger performance of the Singapore Hotels in the second half of 2019 as well as inorganic contribution from Hotel Cerretani Firenze - MGallery and increased NPI for Pullman Hotel Munich.
Interest costs for FY 2019 was higher yoy, mainly the result of higher funding costs and increased interest expense incurred on additional loans drawn for the acquisition of Hotel Cerretani Firenze - MGallery and asset enhancements works.
Consequently, NPI for FY 2019 was S$141.2 million, 3.3% lower than the previous year. Overall, total distribution to Stapled Securityholders (after retention for working capital) for FY 2019 was S$109.4 million and DPS was 9.02 cents, a decrease of 2.0% and 2.6% yoy respectively.
As at 31 December 2019, CDLHT's overall portfolio valuation increased by 2.3% to S$2.85 billion.
Mr Vincent Yeo, Chief Executive Officer of CDLHT's managers, said, "In our core Singapore market, it is encouraging to note that our hotels have recorded a second consecutive quarter of year-on-year recovery. A benign supply environment in the next few years and continued expansion plans for Singapore's tourism and aviation infrastructure are expected to be supportive for the hospitality sector. We would also like to thank Stapled Securityholders for their continued and overwhelming support in approving our two recent landmark transactions - the redevelopment of Novotel Singapore Clarke Quay and acquisition of W Singapore - Sentosa Cove, which will strengthen our long-term presence in the Singapore market.
"Aside from continued investment in our Singapore Hotels, we have also been actively implementing asset improvement programs for some of our overseas properties in light of more competitive trading conditions in a few of these markets.
"With the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak situation unfolding globally, regional travel and business and consumer confidence will be affected, given that China is the world's largest outbound travel market. We are actively monitoring the situation and ensuring that our portfolio of hotels is putting in place measures to manage the situation for our guests and staff."

Review of Portfolio's Performance and Outlook
The combined weighted average statistics for CDLHT's Singapore Hotels are as follows1:
4Q 2019 | 4Q 2018 | Increase | FY 2019 | FY 2018 | Increase | |||||||||||||
Average Occupancy Rate | 87.2% | 85.8% | 1.4pp | 87.5% | 86.9% | 0.6pp | ||||||||||||
Average Daily Rate | S$192 | S$186 | 3.3% | S$185 | S$184 | 0.9% | ||||||||||||
Revenue per Available Room | ||||||||||||||||||
("RevPAR") | S$168 | S$160 | 5.1% | S$162 | S$160 | 1.6% | ||||||||||||
Singapore
RevPAR of the Singapore Hotels for 4Q 2019 increased by 5.1% yoy, the strongest quarterly yoy RevPAR growth since 2012, on the back of room rate growth and high occupancy. The RevPAR uplift was supported by healthy visitor arrivals and citywide demand compression amidst the presence of strong convention business in the quarter. In addition, the robust increase was also achieved despite ongoing room renovation in Copthorne King's Hotel, which commenced in October 2019.
For year-to-date ("YTD") November 2019, visitor arrivals to Singapore increased 2.9% yoy to 17.4 million. Increased visitation from China, USA, Japan and Indonesia contributed to more than 75% of the growth recorded, while eight out of Singapore's top ten source markets showed growth. With an increase in the average length of stay in Singapore, total visitor days grew 4.0% yoy2.
This year, Singapore will see the return of biennial city-wide events such as the Singapore Airshow and Food&HotelAsia (expanding into two dedicated events for the first time) as well as a number of inaugural events like International Trademark Association's 142nd Annual Meeting (8,000 expected attendees) and the 103rd Lions Clubs International Convention (20,000 expected foreign attendees)3.
To support further visitation growth, Singapore continually invests in the expansion of its aviation infrastructure, such as the extensive makeover of Terminal 2 to increase passenger capacity and enhance passenger experience4. A new multimillion-dollar marketing partnership with Royal Carribean International and Changi Airport Group is also expected to bring some 623,000 international fly-cruise visitors to Singapore between end-2019 and 20245.
On the supply front, Singapore hotel inventory is estimated to increase by 789 net rooms6 in 2020, representing approximately 1.1% of existing room stock. Limited future supply growth is supportive for the hotel sector.
At Copthorne King's Hotel, pipe works and refurbishment of guest rooms are currently being carried out, which are expected to complete in mid-2020. The works are being progressed in phases to minimise disruption and the hotel remains operational. Asset enhancement opportunities in other Singapore Hotels are also being evaluated strategically.

Overseas Markets
In New Zealand, total arrivals increased 0.8% yoy to 3.4 million for YTD November 20197 and the New Zealand Hotel posted a 0.5% yoy increase in RevPAR for 4Q 2019 as business was healthy in the high season, aided by a stronger concerts calendar during the quarter. Consequently, NPI contribution in local currency terms improved slightly, but was negatively affected by a weaker NZD.
In Japan, while overall tourism arrivals grew 2.2% yoy to 31.9 million for 20198, the Japan-South Korea trade spat continues to weigh on Japan's economy and hospitality market9, with visitor arrivals from South Korea, the second largest source market, declining 64.7% yoy for 4Q 20199. Together with a softer citywide events and concerts calendar, as well as a surge in new supply from the limited service hotel category and recovering number of alternative accommodation listings such as Airbnb10, performance of the Japan Hotels was negatively affected this quarter. Looking ahead, the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics will provide some yielding opportunities due to expected citywide compression.
Tourism demand in the Maldives is healthy, driven mainly by growth in visitor arrivals from India and Europe11 and the government is also stepping up efforts to boost tourism with a recent proposal to increase the 2020 state budget for tourism promotion by close to fifty percent12. However, the market remains highly competitive due to new resorts supply, which was a contributory factor to a weaker performance from Angsana Velavaru, alongside disruption caused by its asset enhancement works.
To strengthen the Maldives Resorts' product offerings amidst rising competition, CDLHT has been implementing asset enhancement initiatives. For Angsana Velavaru, progressive enhancement works are ongoing where 43 of the 79 land villas have been renovated with infinity pools being added to 24 of these land villas at the end of 2019, ahead of the peak travel season. After the official opening of Raffles Maldives Meradhoo in end September 2019 following its extensive refurbishment exercise, the resort is building up awareness through sales and marketing activities with many travels partners visiting the resort for active promotion and re-introduction to the market. The ongoing efforts paid off in December 2019 with the resort welcoming its first five-night resort buy-out which contributed significantly to revenue.

Over in the UK, RevPAR of the Lowry Hotel in Manchester for 4Q 2019 was impacted by fewer sporting events and a softer entertainment calendar. At Hilton Cambridge City Centre, the hotel experienced a marginal decline in RevPAR amidst a competitive trading environment. Despite top line pressure, overall UK NPI for the quarter was maintained at last year's level. To augment The Lowry Hotel's position as one of the top hotel in Manchester, there were further upgrading works including the refurbishment of five rooms to junior suites in October 2019.
Tourism demand in Munich is healthy with total arrivals increasing 5.6% yoy to 8.0 million for YTD November 201913. However, as Pullman Hotel Munich's performance is driven by the cyclical nature of Munich's fair calendar and with fewer events during the quarter, this resulted in an expected lower RevPAR. The city's fair calendar will continue to be lighter in 1H 2020 but a robust line-up of events is expected for 2H 2020.
Hotel Cerretani Firenze - MGallery recorded a 2.6% RevPAR increase14 in 4Q 2019, largely driven by a growth in average room rate.
Mr Yeo concluded: "Our robust balance sheet and ample debt headroom puts us in a strong position to continue sourcing for acquisitions to enhance our returns to Stapled Securityholders. We will also continue to evaluate suitable divestment opportunities as they arise to unlock underlying asset values and/or recycle capital for better returns."

- NPI contribution in local currency terms improved slightly but was negatively affected by a weaker NZD
- Growing hotel room stock in Auckland is likely to result in an increasingly competitive trading environment
- In early 2021, Auckland will host a major sporting event: the America's Cup sailing regatta and related challenger series
- Expected to drive hotel demand in the lead up to and during the event (2)

CDLHT Maldives Resorts Performance
- 4Q 2019 RevPAR for Angsana Velavaru declined 18.6% YoY as resort was affected by disruption from renovation works and increased competition from supply growth
-
Raffles Maldives Meradhoo welcomed its first five-nightbuy-out since official opening in Sep 2019 due to ongoing extensive sales and marketing efforts, which contributed significantly to revenue in 4Q 2019
Resort will undergo a gestation period for a few years before reaching a normalised occupancy level - While tourism demand in Maldives is healthy, driven by growth in Indian and European arrivals (1), trading conditions continue to remain highly competitive in the near term due to new resorts supply
- The government is also stepping up efforts to boost tourism, with a recent proposal to increase the 2020 state budget for tourism promotion by close to fifty percent (2)

CDLHT Japan Hotels Performance
- Visitor arrivals grew 2.2% YoY to 31.9 million for 2019 (1) but the Japan-South Korea trade spat continues to weigh on the economy and hospitality market
- South Korean visitation, the 2nd largest source market, sharply declined by 64.7% (1) in 4Q 2019
- Coupled with a softer citywide events and concert calendar, new limited-service hotel supply and rebound in number of alternative accommodation listings (such as Airbnb) (2), RevPAR for the Japan Hotels declined by 14.4% YoY this quarter
- Consumption tax hike (3) expected to affect consumer sentiment and spending
- Demand driven by the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and Paralympics will provide some rate maximising opportunities due to expected citywide compression
- Looking further, new upcoming theme park attractions in Tokyo (between 2020 to 2022) and development of integrated resorts will encourage future growth

CDLHT Germany Hotel Performance
- Pullman Munich Hotel's performance is driven by the cyclical nature of Munich's fair calendar (1):
- 1H 2019 had 2 major events, which saw the hotel deliver a robust performance
- 2H 2019 had fewer events with the absence of a major congress and trade fair in 4Q, leading to RevPAR contraction of 10.2% this quarter, which was fully anticipated
- 1H 2020 will see fewer events and this is expected to turn around in 2H 2020 with a robust line-up of events
- Munich's tourism demand remains healthy with total arrivals growing 5.6% YoY to 8.0 million for YTD Nov 2019 (2)

- who carries on any operation in Singapore through a permanent establishment in Singapore (other than a fund manager in Singapore), where the funds used to acquire the Stapled Securities are not obtained from that operation.
- Holders are required to complete the applicable Section A, B or, C, D or E if they fall within the categories (b) to (f) stated under Note 1 or Section D if they qualify as a foreign non-individual investor/foreign fund as described under Note 2.
- The H-REIT Trustee, the H-REIT Manager and the HBT Trustee-Manager will rely on the declarations made in Form A to determine (i) if tax is to be deducted for the categories of Holders listed in (b) to (f) under Note 1; and (ii) if tax is to be deducted at the rate of 10% for distributions to foreign non-individual investors/foreign funds. The reduced concessionary tax rate of 10% will expire for distributions made after 31 December 2025 unless this concession is extended. Please therefore ensure that the appropriate section of the Form A is completed in full and legibly and is returned to M & C Services Private Limited within the stipulated time limit.

2
- Holders who fall within class (a) under Note 1 of Paragraph A are not required to submit Form A.
- Holders who do not fall within the classes of Holders listed in Note 1 of Paragraph A and Note 2 of Paragraph A above can choose not to return Form A as tax will be deducted from the distributions made to them at the prevailing corporate tax rate in any case.

- Holders (Form A) and the depository agents (Form B and its annexes) will have to complete the forms legibly and send it to the Unit Registrar of H-REIT and HBT such that it is received by 5.00 p.m. on Monday, 17 February 2020. The H-REIT Trustee, the H- REIT Manager and the HBT Trustee-Manager will rely on the declarations made in Form A and Form B to determine if tax is to be deducted. Failure to comply with any of these requirements will render Form A and Form B invalid and the H-REIT Trustee, the H-REIT Manager and the HBT Trustee-Manager will be obliged to deduct the appropriate amount of tax from the distribution in respect of which this announcement is made.
- Holders who hold Stapled Securities under the Supplementary Retirement Scheme (SRS) do not have to return any Form as they will receive gross distributions as long as the distributions are paid to their respective SRS accounts.
-
Tax-exemptincome
The tax-exempt income component of the distribution is exempt from tax in the hands of all Holders. No tax will be deducted at source from this component.
3
- Capital component
The capital component of the distribution represents a return of capital to Stapled Securityholders for tax purposes and is therefore not subject to income tax. For Stapled Securityholders who hold the Stapled Securities as trading assets, the amount of capital distribution will be applied to reduce the cost base of their Stapled Securities for purpose of calculating the amount of taxable trading gains arising from the disposal of the Stapled Securities. No tax will be deducted at source from this component.
- A foreign fund refers to a non-resident fund that qualifies for tax exemption under Section 13CA, 13X or 13Y of the Singapore Income Tax Act.
- A company is a non-resident of Singapore if the management and control of its business for the preceding year and from the beginning of this year to the date of this declaration was exercised outside Singapore and there is no intention, at the time of this declaration, to change tax residence of the company to Singapore.
- A permanent establishment is defined under Section 2 of the Income Tax Act to mean a fixed place where a business is wholly or partly carried on. It includes a place of management, a branch and an office.
IMPORTANT REMINDER
Holders and the depository agents must complete and return the "Declaration for Singapore Tax Purposes Forms A and B (and its annexes)", respectively to M & C Services Private Limited's office by 5.00 p.m. on Monday, 17 February 2020 in order to receive the distributions either at gross or at net (after deduction of tax at 10%) as described above.
DECLARATION IN INCOME TAX RETURN
The distribution is considered as income for the year 2019. Beneficial owners of the distribution, other than those who are exempt from tax on the distribution or who are entitled to the reduced rate of 10%, are required to declare the Taxable Income component of the distribution as taxable income in their income tax return for the Year of Assessment 2020.
DISTRIBUTION POLICY
Distributions from CDLHT comprise distributions from H-REIT and HBT.
CDLHT's distribution policy is to distribute at least 90.0% of its taxable income and of its tax exempt income (if any), with the actual level of distribution to be determined at the H-REIT Manager's and HBT Trustee-Manager's discretion.
