16. Amending the rules for investments operations

Under section 14 of the rules for the investment operations of Orava
Residential Real Estate Investment Trust plc, the General Meeting of
Shareholders decides on amendments to the rules for investment operations. 

The Board of Directors proposes that the following addition (in bold)
concerning the payment of performance-based management fee be made to the rules
for investment operations. The stock exchange price of the share shall be used
in the calculation instead of net assets per share, if the stock exchange price
of the share is lower than net assets per share. The amended chapter 3 of
section 11 of the rules is as follows: 

As a performance-related management fee, the Trust pays Orava Funds plc twenty
per cent (20%) of the Trust's annual return exceeding the hurdle rate of six
per cent (6%). The performance-related management fee is calculated on the
basis of earnings per share for the financial period and the number of shares
at the end of the financial period. Before listing, earnings per share for the
financial period are calculated on the basis of net assets per share closing
and opening the financial period and the dividends paid for the share during
the financial period. After listing, the stock exchange price of the share
shall be used in the calculation instead of net assets per share, if the stock
exchange price of the share is lower than net assets per share. The
performance-based management fee is only paid if the closing stock exchange
price for the financial period is higher than the highest dividend, issue and
split-adjusted closing stock exchange price for the previous financial periods. 

The performance-related management fee is invoiced on an annual basis on the
15th day of the first month of the financial period so that at least half of
the performance-related fee is paid in money and the Trust has the right to pay
half in the form of Trust shares. Net assets per share on the closing date and,
after listing, the stock exchange price are used as the value of the share. 

17. Amending the Articles of Association

The Board of Directors proposes that the Annual General Meeting decide to amend
section 1 of the Articles of Association, Company name: 

Company name is in Finnish Orava Asuntorahasto Oyj, in Swedish Orava
Bostadsfond Abp and in English Orava Residential REIT plc.
