Equity Hedging

AXA Property Trust Ld 22 February 2008 To: Company Announcements Date: 22 February 2008 Company: AXA Property Trust Limited Subject: Equity Hedging The Board of AXA Property Trust ('the Company') are pleased to announce the execution of the first tranche of the Company's net investment or equity hedging strategy. On 21 February 2008 the Company purchased a forward for the Sterling equivalent of €40 million with a maturity date of 2015. 2015 coincides with the earliest possible date for termination of the Company, as foreseen in the Company's Prospectus at launch. The purpose of the hedging instrument is to reduce volatility in the Company's Net Asset Value arising from fluctuations in the Euro/Sterling exchange rate, as well as 'locking in' significant foreign exchange gains the Company has experienced in recent months as a result of the favourable foreign exchange movements. The Board will continue to keep the status of equity hedging under review and expects to enter into further transactions to increase the proportion of hedged equity in the coming months.
