    ING Industrial Fund (“IIF”)
    30 June 2004
    Sale of Forest Business Park
    ING Management Limited, the Responsible Entity of the ING Industrial Fund (“IIF” or “the Fund”),
    today announced that the Fund has contracted to sell a non-core property located at 9 Rodborough
    Road, Frenchs Forest NSW (“the Property”), for an amount of $10.5 million, with settlement to occur
    on 28 February 2005.
    The Property will provide a net yield to the Fund of $1.0 million pa, or 9.6% on the sale price until
    settlement in February 2005. The average lease term to expiry at the time of settlement will be 1.5
    years, reflecting the imminent expiry of a major lease at the property. The sale price of $10.5 million
    represents a premium of 5.0% over the property’s current book value of $10.0 million.
    Commenting on the transaction, Mr Paul Toussaint, Chief Executive of the ING Industrial Fund, said
    “The sale of Forest Business Park is consistent with Management’s strategy to continue to enhance the
    overall quality of the Fund’s portfolio. The proceeds from the sale of this non-core property will be
    redeployed into IIF’s development projects, which will provide superior income and capital returns for
    investors over the medium to longer term.”
    Following the settlement of the Property, the Fund’s portfolio will comprise 57 industrial properties,
    with total assets of approximately $1.7 billion.
