Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International • Audited Annual Report as at December 31, 2014

Report on Activities from January 1 to December 31, 2014 Investor base, special features

Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International was launched in February 2005 as the first real estate fund under Swiss law to undertake direct investment in foreign real estate. The Fund grants qualified investors access to an internationally diversified portfolio of high-quality commercial properties. The custodian bank performs off-floor trading for the Fund.

Macroeconomic climate

In 2014, global economic growth came to 3.0% and as such showed similar momentum to the previous years. It was once again the Asian countries (excluding Japan) that turned in the strongest regional performance. Real growth in this region came to 6.0%. Despite the slowdown in momentum, Chinese GDP (up by 7.4%) still exhibited the highest growth rate. By contrast, Japan’s economy expanded by just 0.2% in 2014. However, the Bank of Japan’s extraordinary measures, and in particular the weakness of the Japanese yen, were able to lift the rate of inflation in Japan to more than 2%. Economic growth in Australia and New Zealand remained robust, reaching 2.8% and 3.6% respectively. In 2014, most European countries saw some improvement in their economic situation. In the UK, economic growth accelerated to 2.6%, driven by rising consumer spending and brisk corporate investment activity. In the eurozone, real economic output grew by 0.8%, having decreased by 0.4% in 2013. After some very difficult years, Ireland and Spain made the biggest progress in 2014, with increases in economic output of 4.8% and 1.6% respectively. In the Netherlands, real GDP grew by 0.7%, after contracting by the same percentage the previous year. The German economy continued to post respectable growth figures (+1.3%) and remained the eurozone’s anchor of stability. Italy and France were sources of concern and lagged behind the other European countries owing to structural problems and an unwillingness to implement reforms. Another risk factor was the decline in the eurozone’s inflation rate, which even dipped into the negative range in December 2014. This development prompted the European Central Bank (ECB) to adopt an even more expansionary monetary policy. The big North American economies of Canada and the USA each grew by 2.3% in 2014. The USA saw a further significant fall in unemployment, in response to which the Fed ended its program of government bond purchases and let it be known that monetary policy would be tightened in 2015.

Commercial ­property and ­investor market

Solid fundamentals in the office and retail markets coupled with the persistently low level of interest rates in most significant countries resulted in solid demand for real estate investments. The investment volume on the real estate markets rose by around 9% year-on-year, reaching a total transaction value of USD 770 billion (source: Real Capital Analytics). Capital values continued to recover and capitalization rates fell in markets worldwide. In some markets, they are at their lowest levels since the financial crisis; however, risk premiums on real estate investments are still high compared to government bond yields. Net absorption likewise remained robust amid continued muted construction and development activity. Globally, the vacancy rate for office space fell from 13.2% to 12.9% (source: JLL), which also had an impact on most regions in the form of rising rents. Core real estate continued to enjoy high demand. These properties are characterized by good locations, new or renovated buildings, and long-term rental contracts with tenants who have high credit ratings. In the current environment of low interest rates, they nevertheless continue to offer a yield premium over many fixedinterest securities. The economic trend in Europe and the USA has led to a further increase in appetite for less central locations or “value-added” properties. Among the liquid transparent markets, the USA, the UK and Japan experienced the strongest uptrend in commercial property prices. There was also healthy demand for property in Ireland and Spain. In Asia/Oceania, investor demand for real estate increased in Japan and Australia, whereas developments in China are being viewed with caution.

Outlook

Macroeconomic climate The outlook for the global economy remains cautiously optimistic and global GDP is expected to grow by a total of 3.4% in 2015. Growth rates of 3.5% and 2.3% are expected for the US and Canada respectively, and 3.6% for Chile. 2015 is expected to see the Fed make a start on the normalization of key interest rates. However, the trend of inflation suggests that yields on longer-dated bonds are likely to remain low. Economic growth should strengthen slightly to 1.0% in the euro countries, and should accelerate to 3.0% in the UK. With forecast economic growth of 1.5%, Germany should continue to perform solidly, while growth in the European periphery looks set to recover. The ECB’s announcement of plans for monthly purchases of government bonds and other securities totaling EUR 60 billion should keep European interest rates very low.

The economists at Credit Suisse AG predict 6.0% growth in Asia excluding Japan, 2.6% in Australia and 2.8% in New Zealand. Japan’s economic growth is put at 0.9%. Commercial property and investor market The expected economic recovery in 2015 will likely be accompanied by solid growth in employment and robust demand for space. The supply of new space coming onto the market in 2015 is still sluggish in the majority of cases. We therefore expect vacancy rates to continue declining in most markets. Rents for centrally located space are likely to increase on average in all three regions, although the rise will probably be more pronounced in the USA and Asia/Pacific than in Europe. Real estate investments should remain in high demand because of a lack of other investment opportunities. As real estate investors in a number of regions now have easier access to capital, the use of borrowed capital is likely to increase. This suggests that transaction volumes should remain high. In Europe, we see (geo)political risks as posing the biggest threat to the performance of the real estate markets. In Asia, there is slightly greater uncertainty owing to the state of the Chinese residential property market. In North America, where the commercial real estate markets are already at a more advanced stage in the cycle than in Europe, the interest risks are likely to be slightly higher. However, we expect the rise in interest rates to be manageable for the real estate markets. Real estate ­portfolio

Organization, structure and diversification The portfolio continued to be expanded and diversified in the 2014 reporting year: a building project in Chile was completed, while in Canada construction work started on The Exchange project. One property in Germany was sold. “Apoquindo 5400” in Santiago, Chile: In May 2014, the pre-emption rights acquired in February 2012 were exercised. The property in question is a new building at Apoquindo 5400 in the city’s Las Condes quarter. This high-end property with seven basement floors, a ground floor and 21 above-ground floors was constructed to the “LEED” Gold Standard. The building has some 20 800 m2 of rentable office space, around 700 m2 of retail floorspace, and 653 parking spaces. The Exchange in Vancouver (CA): On August 1, 2011, the Fund became the principal owner (80% stake) of the Old Stock Exchange office building in Vancouver (Canada). Constructed in 1929 in the art deco style, this building was once home to Canada’s third-largest stock exchange. It served as an office building with some 50 tenants. In cooperation with a local partner, Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International planned the construction of an extension and renamed the property “The Exchange”. The City of Vancouver granted planning permission for The Exchange at the end of 2013, and construction work began in the first quarter of 2014. The property is expected to be completed in 2017. Leitzstrasse 54–56 in Stuttgart (DE): This German property was sold in the first half of 2014. At the end of 2014, the regional breakdown of the properties was as follows: North/Central and South America: 46.15% (41.40%), Europe: 33.60% (37.15%), and Asia-Pacific: 20.25% (21.45%). Office space accounted for 79.25% (78.05%) of net rental income, while retail property accounted for 10.95% (12.00%). The remaining 9.80% (9.95%) consisted mainly of parking facilities, warehouses, restaurants & cinemas, residential and other commercial properties. In selecting investments, care is taken to ensure that tenants have good credit ratings and that sector diversification is balanced. Valuation of properties 2014 saw the portfolio’s value appreciate. Disregarding currency effects, the value of the portfolio was on average about 3.80% higher compared with 12 months previously. The cash flows from the properties developed very positively. Rental income was increased by 4.37% in 2014 to CHF 139.91 million. The distribution increases by CHF 1.00 to CHF 41.00 (40.00) per fund unit, giving a dividend yield of 3.81% (3.98%).

Notes to the annual financial statements

The financial year of Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International runs from January 1 to December 31.

Minority interests

A minority interest in a foreign real estate company has featured since the end of 2011. A 20% stake is held by a minority shareholder. Subsidiaries are consolidated if the Fund controls more than 50% of voting rights. Minority interests in the net asset value, the net income, the realized result and the overall result are reported separately. The investor-related key figures are calculated on the basis of the assets and result attributable to unitholders. 7

Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International • Audited Annual Report as at December 31, 2014

Foreign exchange differences

Weighted to the portfolio allocation, the exchange rates applied to the statement of assets as of December 31, 2013, are approximately 4% higher than on December 31, 2014, while the average exchange rates applied to the income statement as of December 31, 2013 are roughly 3% lower than on December 31, 2014, again weighted to the portfolio allocation. To minimize currency fluctuation risks, the currencies in the statement of assets were mostly hedged by means of foreign exchange forward transactions. The net result is a currency loss of CHF 9.13 million (previous year: loss of 31.89 million). The exchange rate fluctuations in the income statement are not hedged. The Swiss National Bank’s decision to remove the EUR exchange rate floor on January 15, 2015, will affect the CHF value of the unhedged foreign currency exposure (approx. CHF 287 million as of December 31, 2014). This will have a greater or lesser impact, depending on how the CHF performs against the Fund’s investment currencies between now and December 31, 2015. However, thanks to the Fund’s high hedging ratio, the impact on the net asset value will be limited. Another consequence of the SNB’s decision could be persistently lower exchange rates for the income statement, which could in turn affect overall performance in CHF.

Statement of ­assets

In the 2014 reporting year, Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International purchased a commercial property in Chile (see page 22) and sold a property in Germany. Furthermore, preemptive rights to purchase the remainder (50%) of a property in Wellington (NZ) already owned by the Fund were exercised. Two projects were under construction at the closing date of the financial statements. On behalf of the fund management company and in compliance with the Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA), the properties were individually valued by independent, FINMA-accredited valuation experts as at December 31, 2014. This also involved consulting support staff abroad. These estimates were made on the basis of International Valuation Standards. The portfolio properties themselves are valued using the DCF method. The resulting total market value comes to CHF 2 431.72 million (2 190.36 million). The weighted discounted rate is 5.45% (5.48%) of net income after deduction of long-term renovations. Liquid assets amounting to CHF 247.76 million (87.36 million) were invested in bank deposits, as well as short-term fiduciary and other investments. The business assets were invested in the following currencies: euro, sterling, yen, US dollar, Australian dollar, New Zealand dollar, Canadian dollar, and Chilean peso. To minimize currency fluctuation risks, the currencies were mostly hedged by means of foreign exchange forward transactions. At the end of the year, the result is a net liability of CHF 25.00 million from unrealized losses on outstanding forward foreign exchange transactions. Borrowed funds total CHF 334.16 million (87.96 million) or 13.74% (4.02%) of the market value of the properties. The debt financing operations in question were mainly contracted for the property purchases in Japan and Chile for tax reasons and in order to achieve a positive leverage effect. Furthermore, a portfolio in Germany and the property in Brisbane were mortgaged. The estimated liquidation taxes amount to CHF 103.42 million (71.97 million). The net asset value attributable to fund unitholders after deduction of the estimated liquidation taxes stands at CHF 2 185 622 160 (2 147 173 541). The return on investment per unit amounts to 5.92% (4.49%) on a net asset value per unit of CHF 1 034.42 (976.22 ex coupon).

Statement of income

Total income amounts to CHF 141.43 million (137.32 million), an increase of 3.00% compared with the previous year. Rental income rose by 4.37% to CHF 139.91 million (134.06 million). Other income stands at CHF 0.71 million (0.11 million) and income from deposits on postal and bank accounts amounts to CHF 0.61 Mio. (0.34 million). Income from other investments amounts to CHF 0.21 million (0.11 million). The percentage of rental income forfeited due to vacancies and collection losses was reduced once again, and stands at 5.92% (6.04%) of target rental income. Total expenses amount to CHF 54.66 million (52.10 million). This includes ground rent amounting to CHF 1.09 million (0.98 million). Borrowing costs total CHF 7.15 million (2.96 million). The average weighted interest rate comes in at 3.47% (2.81%), with an average remaining term to maturity of 2.28 years (2.07 years). Maintenance and repairs accounted for CHF 15.87 million (16.99 million), which amounts to around 11.35% (12.68%) of rental income. For future extraordinary investments such as tenant fit-outs, CHF 6.50 million (CHF 7.50 million) was allocated to provisions for future repairs. Taxes on earnings and capital amount to CHF 3.15 million (1.70 million). Appraisal and auditing expenses come to CHF 1.50 million (1.65 million). The Fund was charged CHF 14.20 million (14.11 million) for management activities. The management commission of 0.60% is levied on the total fund assets at the beginning of each financial year. The remuneration paid to the property management companies in accordance with the Fund regulations stands at

CHF 1.34 million (1.09 million). The other expenses amount to CHF 3.20 million (4.43 million) and consist primarily of property-related operating costs and tax, legal, bookkeeping and other consultancy costs. The Fund’s operating expense ratio GAV (TERREF GAV), which is an important indicator of the burden of operating expenses, is 0.85% (0.95%). This key figure enables investors to draw a direct comparison with other real estate funds. The Fund’s net income attributable to fund unitholders amounts to CHF 86.78 million (85.19 million) or CHF 41.07 (40.32) per unit. The operating profit margin (EBIT margin) comes to 74.03% (72.63%). The Fund’s currencies are mostly hedged. Depending on the performance of the currencies and interest rate spreads, hedging resulted in realized and unrealized capital gains or losses on forex forward transactions. The capital losses realized on the currency hedging amount to CHF 29.05 million (gain of 53.81 million). The unrealized capital gains arising from changes in exchange rates amount to CHF 19.92 million (loss of 85.69 million). This also includes unrealized currency conversion differences arising from the consolidation of the financial statements of the individual property-holding companies in foreign currency. The net result is a currency loss of CHF 9.13 million (loss of 31.89 million). One property was sold in 2014 while three holding companies were merged and one sold. As result, the realized capital gain on investments amounted to CHF  1.90 million (gain of CHF 1.88 million). The unrealized capital gains on investments amount to CHF 68.38 million (gain of CHF 39.93 million). Including the cost of currency hedging and the balance of realized and unrealized capital changes on investments, aggregate net income comes to CHF 147.92 million (95.11 million) or CHF 70.01 (45.01) per unit. Distribution, yield

For the 2014 financial year, CHF 86.63 million (84.52 million) or CHF 41.00 (40.00) per unit will be paid out. The no. 10 coupons are payable free of expenses at Credit Suisse AG, Zurich and its branches in Switzerland from March 31, 2015 onward (ex date March 26, 2015).

Note 3: Valuation Method

Note 4: Tax Treatment in Germany

28

In compliance with the Federal Act on Collective Investment Schemes (CISA), the management company had the market values of the properties re-estimated as at December 31, 2014 using the discounted cash flow method (DCF method) as applied by Wüest & Partner AG. Under Art. 88 para. 2 CISA, Arts. 92 and 93 CISO and the SFAMA guidelines for real estate funds, the Fund’s properties are regularly valued by independent appraisers accredited by the supervisory authority ­using a dynamic capitalized income value method. The property values stated are the prices that would probably be obtained upon a diligent sale at the time of appraisal. On the purchase or sale of properties contained in the Fund’s assets and at the close of each accounting year, the appraisers must review the market value of the real estate contained in the Fund’s assets. The market value of the individual properties represents the price that would probably be achieved in customary business transactions and on the assumption of diligent conduct by the purchaser and vendor. In individual cases, and especially on the purchase or sale of Fund properties, possible opportunities arising will be used in the best interests of the Fund. This may result in deviations from the valuations stated.  Regarding tax treatment of the real estate fund in Germany, it should be noted that the details specified in § 5 para. 1 clauses 1 and 2 of the German Investment Tax Act (InvStG) are not published in the German Electronic Federal Gazette and that no certificate pursuant to § 5 para. 1 clause 3 of the Investment Tax Act is issued by a German auditing company. Hence, as the information for the review period was not determined in accordance with the procedures specified by German tax legislation, the investment fund is not deemed “transparent” in Germany from a taxation point of view. Investors are therefore recommended to contact their tax consultant for an assessment of personal tax implications.

Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International • Audited Annual Report as at December 31, 2014

Valuation Report Commission

The Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA) requires the value of the properties held by Swiss real estate funds to be estimated by independent valuation experts at the end of each financial year. The valuation experts were tasked by the fund management company of Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International with conducting the valuation in consultation with support staff abroad. The brief included coordination of the overall valuation process, including data preparation, provision of valuation software plus compilation and monitoring of the results supplied by the individual agents abroad. The valuation experts mandated by the fund management company and accredited by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority (FINMA) are responsible for the actual valuation of the properties. Credit Suisse Funds AG is responsible for procuring the necessary documentation. All properties held by Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International were valued for accounting purposes as at December 31 of the 2014 financial year. As at the closing date, the portfolio comprised 35 properties (including new additions and properties valued for the first time). Two of the properties were under construction. The portfolio therefore comprises a total of 37 properties. The documentation relevant to the valuations was prepared by the fund management company and management companies responsible. The valuations are based firstly on an evaluation and analysis of these documents, a cycle of site visits, as well as an assessment of the general and specific market situation for each property. The FINMA-accredited valuation experts performed the entire mandate in consultation with the fund management company – from definition of the valuation parameters and entering the data in the valuation software, through the actual appraisal work, to monitoring and submission of the results – on a neutral basis and solely in accordance with the independent valuation brief.

Valuation ­Standards

The valuation experts confirm that the valuations were performed in accordance with the statutory requirements of the Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA) and Collective Schemes Ordinance (CISO), as well as with the Guidelines of the Swiss Funds & Asset Management Association (SFAMA), and furthermore accord with customary industry valuation standards. The market value of each property is reported on a “fair value” basis, i.e. the likely achievable sale price under normal circumstances and current market conditions excluding any transaction costs. Properties under construction are valued at cost, provided the effective market value is not exceeded (impairment). In evaluating real estate, the valuation experts adhere to the internationally recognized International Valuation Standards (IVSC).

Valuation Method

The valuations were carried out uniformly using the discounted cash flow (DCF) method. This excludes any undeveloped land, which would be valued using the comparison and residual value method. A DCF valuation at completion was performed for the buildings under construction. With the DCF method, the market value of a property is determined as the total of all projected future net earnings discounted to valuation-date equivalents. Income is discounted separately for each property with adjustment for market conditions and risks, i.e. with allowance for specific opportunities and risks. The valuation includes a detailed analysis and assessment of the individual income and cost items. The valuation experts based their assessment on recent year’s individual accounts for each property, the current rental situation, as well as extensive market intelligence. This is used as the basis for the estimation and modeling of future cash flows and for definition of the discount rate. Valuations are prepared on the basis of a continuation of current use, i.e. any far-reaching changes of use, additions of new floors, or increases in density are not incorporated into the valuation.

Independence and Confidentiality

The accredited valuation experts confirm their independence and guarantee the confidential treatment of information connected with the valuation mandate.

Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International • Audited Annual Report as at December 31, 2014

Result

As at December 31, 2014, the market value of the portfolio properties is estimated by the experts at CHF 2 336.09 million (conversion from local currency into Swiss francs as at closing rate on December 31, 2014). The acquisition cost of the buildings under construction as at the valuation date, which if applicable has been corrected by v­ alue adjustments on the basis of valuations for completions less residual construction costs, is reported by the fund management company at CHF 95.63 million. The total value of the portfolio is therefore CHF 2 431.72 million. Compared to December 31, 2013, the value of the total portfolio has increased by CHF 241.36 million or 11.02% (including exchange rate movements). Planned refurbishment work for the next 10 years was reviewed. The scheduling and scale of investment for the individual properties were consequently reassessed and adjusted where necessary. The discount rates used in the valuations are based on constant observation of real estate markets, particularly the yields paid in arm’s-length transactions. The average discount rate as at December 31, 2014, was 5.45%. Zurich, December 31, 2014 Wüest & Partner AG Dr. Christoph Zaborowski

Report of the Audit Company Brief Report of the collective investment scheme regulatory auditor to the Board of ­Directors of the Fund ­Management Company concerning the annual f­ inancial statements

As audit company for collective investment schemes, we have audited the accompanying financial statements of the investment fund Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund International which comprise the statement of net assets and the income statement, the statement of the appropriation of available earnings and the disclosure of the total costs as well as the supplemental disclosures in accordance with article 89 paragraph 1 lit. b–h and article 90 of the Swiss Collective Investment Schemes Act (CISA) for the year ended 31 December 2014. Responsibility of the Fund Management Company’s Board of Directors The Board of Directors of the Fund Management Company is responsible for the preparation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Swiss Collective Investment Schemes Act, the related ordinances as well as the sales prospectus with integrated fund contract. This responsibility includes designing, implementing and maintaining an internal control system relevant to the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. The Board of Directors of the Fund Management Company is further responsible for selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies and making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances. Responsibility of the audit company for collective investment schemes Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with Swiss law and Swiss Auditing Standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers the internal control system relevant to the entity’s preparation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the existence and effectiveness of the entity’s internal control system. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion. Opinion In our opinion, the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2014 comply with the Swiss Collective Investment Schemes Act, the related ordinances as well as the sales prospectus with integrated fund contract. Report on other legal requirements We confirm that we meet the legal requirements on licensing according to the Auditor Oversight Act (AOA) and article 127 CISA as well as on independence (article 11 AOA) and that there are no circumstances incompatible with our independence.
