Opening & Closing Balance
The number of Region securities (RGN) held as at the close of business. Notwithstanding that the security price and security value need not be shown for the purpose of these disclosures, the closing price of a Region security on 30 June has been used for illustrative purposes on the Periodic Statement. The Closing Balance on the Exit Statement is the ASX close price on the relevant date.
The date of any purchase of your securities refers to the settlement date for the transaction. You can obtain the trade date from your broker or financial adviser.
Investors may elect to receive all or part of their distribution in cash or reinvested as additional Region securities.
The number of securities reinvested as additional RGN securities under the Region distribution plan.
Is the distribution attributable to each securityholder on a pro-rata basis without any taxes being deducted.
Indirect costs are the approximate amount that has been deducted from your investment and includes costs such as registry, custody, accounting, employee benefits expense, corporate costs, office costs and other administrative costs. It is calculated by multiplying the “Indirect Cost Ratio per stapled security” by your average holding balance during the period. The Indirect Cost Ratio is calculated in accordance with section 1017D of the Corporations Act 2001 and does not represent Region’s Management Expense Ratio.
Neither the Periodic Statement nor the Exit Statement show your return on investment during the reporting period on an individual basis. This is because the market price at which you executed your transactions on the ASX is not provided to Region. You can calculate your individual investment return by obtaining the market price of your transactions from the broker who effected your transactions.
Is the distribution attributable to each securityholder following the deduction, if necessary, of withholding tax.
Is a date set by the Board of Region on which investors are paid distributions. The Payment Date can be any time after the Record Date, however:

- the Final Distribution Payment Date must be within 90 days of Region’s Financial Year End date.
The “cut-off” date established by Region to determine which investors are eligible to any distributions. The Record Date for the Interim Distribution is 31 December and the Record Date for the Final Distribution is 30 June.
If you have purchased or sold Region securities during the reporting period, the security price at the close of business and the transaction value (the number of securities multiplied by the ASX closing price) has not been included as Region does not have access to:
- the price at which you bought or sold your securities;
- the date you traded or any brokerage; or
