DAVID THOMSON APPOINTED AS
INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR

NZX listed industrial property landlord Property for Industry Limited (PFI) is pleased to announce the
appointment of David Thomson to the PFI Board, with effect from today.

David is a senior partner and member of the Board of Management at law firm Buddle Findlay, where
he runs a broad corporate and commercial law practice, with particular expertise in mergers and
acquisitions. He advises a wide range of local and international businesses and public-sector clients
including Auckland Council, Panuku Development Auckland, The University of Auckland and Te Papa.

David was raised in Christchurch, where he completed commerce and law degrees at the University of
Canterbury. He then practiced law in Wellington and London, before returning to Buddle Findlay in 2000
and becoming a partner of the firm in Auckland in 2002.

“We’re delighted David has agreed to bring his expertise and experience to the PFI Board,” said PFI
Chairman Peter Masfen. “Through his clients, he has an active involvement in a wide variety of sectors,
especially in matters concerning the growth of Auckland, as well as experience guiding companies
through change. He brings a valuable and fresh perspective.”

In accordance with NZX Main Board Listing Rule 3.3.2, the PFI Board has determined that David is an
Independent Director.

PFI’s constitution and the NZX Main Board Listing Rules require that any person appointed as a Director
by the Board must retire at the next Annual Meeting, but shall be eligible for election at that meeting.
Accordingly, David will retire and seek election by shareholders at PFI’s annual meeting in May.
