The Board's comments on this appointment (including rationale, selection criteria, board diversity considerations, and the search and nomination process)
Mr Chua was an Independent Non-Executive Director and a member of Audit and Risk Committee of Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust Management Ltd., the manager of Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust ("MNACT") prior to its merger with Mapletree Commercial Trust.

Following the merger, the reconstituted Board shall comprise certain members from Mapletree North Asia Commercial Trust Management Ltd. and MPACT Management Ltd. (formerly known as Mapletree Commercial Trust Management Ltd.), to provide assurance of continuity to unitholders and achieve an optimal balance of experience, skills and knowledge relevant to the merged entity's business. Given Mapletree Pan Asia Commercial Trust's expanded investment mandate and enlarged portfolios which encompass office and commercial assets as well as wider geographical focus, the Board is of the view that with his prior knowledge in MNACT and his extensive experiences in the fields of accounting and financial services, Mr Chua will be able to provide valuable insights and perspectives and add bench strength to the Board for the merged entity.
