AXA Property Trust Ld 17 October 2006 AXA PROPERTY TRUST LIMITED DISPOSES OF EQUITY SHARE IN ITALIAN PROPERTY AXA Property Trust Limited ('the Company') announces that it has disposed of 50% of its interest in Property Trust Agnadello S.r.l. ('PT Agnadello') to EAVF S.A.R.L ('EAVF') yesterday. PT Agnadello owns a distribution warehouse in Northern Italy with a current rental income of approximately Euro 2.3 million per annum. PT Agnadello has owned the property since 10 February 2006. The sale price of Euro 2.4 million in cash represents 50% of the total underlying property value of Euro 30.1 million after taking into account the debt of Euro 32.2 million and net assets of Euro 6.8 million of PT Agnadello. PT Agnadello has an intra-group loan with Property Trust Luxembourg 2, S.A.R.L., a subsidiary of the Company. Within two months 50% of the debt will be replaced by financing from EAVF. The Manager of EAVF is Partnership Incorporations Limited ('PIL'), which has appointed AXA REIM UK Limited ('AXA REIM') as Property Adviser. AXA REIM also acts as Real Estate Adviser to the Company. The Company's Board is satisfied that the transaction is at arms length and that the sale price represents market value. The underlying property value has been confirmed by the independent valuers to the Company. A partial disposal was envisaged when this property was acquired and meets the Real Estate Adviser's strategy of reducing exposure to an asset with a single tenant in this location. The proceeds of the sale will be reinvested by the Company in the acquisition of further European real estate assets.
