230 STRATEGICALLY ADVANCING NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the financial year ended 31 December 2024 1. GENERAL (CONTINUED) (A) Trustee’s fees (continued) ALOG Trust Pursuant to the trust deed entered into by the Manager and the ALOG Trust Trustee, the fees of the ALOG Trust Trustee shall not exceed 0.1% per annum of the value of the deposited property of ALOG Trust, excluding out-of-pocket expenses and GST. The actual fee payable will be determined between the Manager and the ALOG Trust Trustee from time to time. The ALOG Trust Trustee’s fee is presently charged on a scaled basis of up to 0.015% per annum of the value of the deposited property of ALOG Trust, subject to a minimum fee of $15,000 per month. (B) Management fees Under the Trust Deed, the Manager is entitled to receive a base fee and performance fee as follows: (a) base fee (“Base Fee”) of 0.5% per annum of the value of the deposited property or such higher percentage as may be fixed by an extraordinary resolution passed at a meeting of Unitholders duly convened and held in accordance with the provision of the Trust Deed, subject to there being no double counting of fees where a related party of the Manager has charged an asset management fee to a subsidiary of the Trust; and (b) performance fee (“Performance Fee”), computed at 25% of the growth in DPU for such financial year multiplied by the weighted average number of Units in issue for such financial year, provided that the Highest DPU Threshold is achieved. The DPU growth is measured by the excess of DPU for such financial year to the highest DPU achieved by the Trust in the previous years for which a Performance Fee was payable (“Highest DPU Threshold”). Whenever a Performance Fee is earned, the Highest DPU Threshold will be adjusted to the highest DPU achieved. In order to be eligible for a Performance Fee in future, the Trust would have to outperform the adjusted Highest DPU Threshold. For the purpose of calculating the Performance Fee, the Highest DPU Threshold is initially set at 6.000 cents, or if the DPU achieved during the Performance Fee Waiver period is higher, then such higher DPU. Management fees (Base Fee and Performance Fee, including any accrued Performance Fee which have been carried forward from previous financial years but excluding any acquisition fee or disposal fee) to be paid to the Manager in respect of a financial year, whether in cash or in Units or a combination of cash and Units, are capped at an amount equivalent to 0.8% per annum of the value of deposited property as at the end of the financial year (referred to as the “annual fee cap”).
