These procedures were established with the Issuer and the Seller, and the appropriateness of the procedures is solely the responsibility of the Issuer, the Seller, the Arranger, the Joint Lead Managers and the Managers as discussed above. The Issuer and the Seller shall be solely responsible for providing accurate and complete information requested by Deloitte necessary to perform the procedures. Deloitte has no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information provided by or on behalf of the Issuer and the Seller, even if Deloitte had reason to know or should have known of such inaccuracy or incompleteness.

 

The procedures that we performed and our findings are as follows:

 

1.            Scope of our work and factual findings

 

The procedures performed were as defined in Appendix 3 of the Engagement Letter (the “Agreed Upon Procedures”).

 

The Seller provided us with a data file ‘Project Brompton AUP Data Tape_27June2023.xlsx’ (the “First Pool Run”) containing information for 37 properties and 207 units associated with 161 unique tenants as at 30 April 2023 (the “Cut-off Date”). The Seller requested that we perform the agreed upon procedures on 37 properties and 185 units, which excluded vacant units (the “Sample”, and together with the First Pool Run, the “Sample Pool”).

 

We have carried out the Agreed Upon Procedures on the Sample Pool during the period 1 June to 30 June 2023.

 

The procedures we have undertaken, set out in paragraphs 2.1 to 2.20 under the pool agreed upon procedures section below, have been limited to confirming that the selected attribute from the First Pool Run information relating to the Sample Pool agreed to the original loan documentation or copies thereof provided to us in the loan file. We are entitled to assume that the loan documentation is correct and we have not sought to independently verify this information. The loan documentation used in these Agreed upon Procedures was the valuation report, legal DD report, lease summary report, ‘Project Brompton Financing - Tenancy Schedule (15.06.2023 - to share with OC).xlsx’ (the “rent roll”), reliance letter, tenancy at will letter, rent review memorandum, lease agreement and the schedule of tenancies.
