In various open market purchases between May 9, 2016 and July 8, 2016, BPG Holdings Group (US) Holdings Inc.

(BAM), acquired an aggregate of 2,659,264 of BPYs outstanding Limited Partnership Units for a total aggregate purchase price of $63,363,581. The purchase of such Limited Partnership Units was funded from cash contributed to BPGHG(US) by BAM.

Such redemption-exchange units held indirectly by BAM represent 100% of the redemption-exchange units of Property LP and approximately 62.1% of the Units assuming that all of the redemption-exchange units of Property LP were exchanged for Units pursuant to the redemption-exchange mechanism. Assuming that all of the redemption-exchange units of Property LP were exchanged for Units pursuant to the redemption-exchange mechanism, as of the date hereof, BAM may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 479,763,187 Units and Partners may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 483,376,633 Units, and such Units would constitute approximately 69.1% and 69.6 %, respectively, of the issued and outstanding Units.
