CHINA – 17 October 2019 – Henderson Sunlight Asset Management Limited (the ” Manager“), as manager of Sunlight Real Estate Investment Trust (” Sunlight REIT “), announces the operational statistics of Sunlight REIT for the first quarter of the financial year 2019/20.

At 30 September 2019, the average occupancy rate of the overall portfolio of Sunlight REIT was 95.9% (30 June 2019: 95.3%). Office occupancy rate improved to 95.9% (30 June 2019: 94.0%), mainly attributable to the partial handover of the new co-working space at Strand 50.
