Centro Properties Group (Centro) hereby requests that the ASX grant a trading halt of its

satisfaction of the conditions of the finance extension that are required to be met by 30 May
2008, as has been previously advised. The announcement is expected to be made prior to
opening of trade on Monday 2 June 2008.
Centro confirms that it is not aware of any reason why the trading halt should not be granted.
Yours faithfully
