*Chair’s Address, Vital Healthcare Property
Trust Special Meeting, 2 April 2020
The following is the address of the Chair for the Vital
Healthcare Property Trust Special Meeting held by virtual
meeting on Thursday 2 April 2020 commencing at 10.00am.
___________________________________
[Slide 1 – Cover slide]
[Welcome]
Welcome ladies and gentlemen to the reconvened Special
Meeting of Vi tal Healthcare Property Trust, called to consider
a proposal to restructure Vital to facilitate a listing on the
ASX.
My name is Bernard Crotty. I am the Chair of the board of
the Manager and have been appointed by the Trust’s
Supervisor to act as the Chair of this meeting.

This Special Meeting was originally opened on Tuesday 31
st

March. As explained at that time and also by NZX
announcement on Tuesday, t he special meeting was
adjourned in light of the COVID-19 outbreak during the notice
period, and notably because several stakeholders requested
more time to prepare to participate in the virtual meeting
which replaced a physical meeting (due to COVID-19).
Also, w e had some i nvestors who had previously claimed to
have submitted proxy forms but their forms were not
received by the time of the original meeting, which we
assume related to COVID-19 leading to delays with
custodians lodging their votes. Several of these were received
yesterday. It is important that all investors had an
opportunity to participate to ensure a democratic process.
Thank you for joining us at this revised meeting time.

Before commencing I will allow a representative of the Trust’s
Supervisor, Justine Wealleans, to read a statement to
unitholders:
[Bernard passes to Justine Wealleans]
This is Justine Wealleans of Trustees Executors Limited.
We have received legal advice that there may be a technical
irregularity given the N otice of Meeting contemplated this
meeting being held in person, but that it has subsequently
been moved to being held on a virtual-only basis. Under the
FMC Regulations, any such irregularity can be waived if the
supervisor indicates at the meeting that the supervisor is
satisfied that the irregularity has not resulted in , and is
unlikely to result in , any material prejudice to the product
holders.
I confirm that “the Supervisor has taken into account that the
notice of meeting specified the meeting would be held at the
Pullman Hotel, and is now being held by virtual means only.
The Supervisor is satisfied that this issue has not resulted,
and is unlikely to result in , any material prejudice to
unitholders.”
[Justine passes back to Bernard]
Thank you Justine.

[Slide [2] – Meeting Agenda]
[Meeting process/agenda]
The order for the meeting is as follows:
 I will shortly say a few words in relation to the Proposal
 We will then have an opportunity for unitholders to ask
questions via the virtual meeting webpage or app
 We will then move to the formal business, being voting
on whether or not to approve the Pr oposal. Voting is
also enabled via the virtual meeting webpage or app.

I would like to thank you for joining us for this meeting
through this virtual platform. As noted, t he COVID-19 virus
and the New Zealand Government’s Alert Level 4 restrictions,
this meeting is being held through the use of the technology
that allows for virtual participation. That technology has
been very useful in allowing unitholders to attend, engage
with us and vote without having to be here in person. I
expect that it will become a central feature of public meetings
this year.
If you are having any difficulties with the technology at any
point, there is a team on standby at Computershare to assist
you if you call +64 9 488 8777. I repeat that number again:
+64 9 488 8777. I will also now run through a few
instructions to assist you with using this technology.

[Slide 3 – application screen shot]
At present you should see on your screen our presentation
slides. The slides will show on your screen when you click on
or tap the black “Broadcast” bar at the bottom of the screen.
Please also ensure the volume on your computer, laptop or

[Slide 4 – application screen shot - questions]
To submit questions, there is an icon at the top right of the
screen. The icon looks like two speech bubbles. You may
submit questions at any time, and they will be read out and
addressed later in the meeting.

[Slide 5 – application screen shot - voting]
You will also be able to vote via this application during the
meeting if you have not already lodged your proxy. The icon

[Quorum & Proxies]
I am pleased to confirm that there is a quorum present. The
quorum for today’s meeting includes all unitholders
participating today, whether virtually or by proxy.

[Notice of Meeting]
A Notice of Meeting was sent to Unitholders on 28 February
2020. It sets the scope of what we are scheduled to discuss
today and includes the details of the proposal that we are due
to consider. This is not an annual general meeting and there
is only one order of business, being the restructuring proposal
described in the Notice of Meeting. We will meet again later
in the year when we hold our Annual General Meeting, which
is when we will consider matters such as a review of
operating performance and director appointments.

___________________________________

[Slide [8] – Address from the Chair]
The Proposal that we are putting in front of you as
unitholders today is an important step in re -positioning Vital
as an investment proposition and establishing an efficient
long-term structure for Vital going forward. The Board of the
Manager and the management team have spent an extensive
amount of time and effort in developing this Proposal in order
to ensure it is in the best interests of all unitholders and it
provides the optimal structure for Vital to deliver incremental
value to unitholders going forward.

[Slide [9] – Proposal Overview]
The Proposal involves a restructuring of Vital to facilitate
adding a foreign exempt listing on the ASX while retaining the
primary listing on the NZX. The restructuring includes
separating Vital’s New Zealand and Australian properties into
separate trusts, namely Vital New Zealand and Vital Australia.

6
Vital New Zealand will remain a PIE entity and Vital Australia
will be an Australian Managed Investment Scheme.
These trusts will be stapled together. Unitholders that hold 1
unit in Vital Healthcare Property Trust today will hold 1 unit in
Vital New Zealand and 1 unit in Vital Australia after the
Proposal. The units will be linked together so that they must
be traded together.
As part of the Proposal, Vital’s payout ratio will be amended
to 95-100% of Adjusted Funds From Operations, bringing
Vital in line with market best practice across Australasian
property vehicles.
The Board unanimously recommends that unitholders vote in
favour of the Proposal, and t his is supported by three
independent parties recommending the proposal: Grant
Samuel, the independent adviser, has concluded that the
Proposal is in the best interests of Unitholders; and proxy
advisers ISS and CGI Glass Lewis have recommended
Unitholders vote FOR the Proposal.
NorthWest as Manager is unable to vote on the Proposal.

[Slide [10] – Key benefits of the Proposal]
The Proposal will deliver a range of immediate and long-term
benefits to Unitholders.
It establishes an efficient long-term structure in order to
enable a ccess to a broader range of capital sources, with an
efficient cost of capital.
This in turn will ensure Vital is more competitively positioned
for future acquisition and development opportunities to drive
earnings growth.
Immediate benefits of the Proposal include an increase in
distributions for all Unitholders and a 1.8 c ents per unit one-
off tax benefit for New Zealand unitholders who use the
annual FDR method.

7
The enhanced structure and addition of the ASX foreign
exempt listing also provides the potential for the value and
liquidity of Vital units to increase. We plan to actively target
S&P/ASX index inclusion to further support this.
Vital’s structure has served unitholders well over the last 20
years. This proposal is about setting Vital up for the next 20
years. It brings Vital in line with a majority of its NZX50
peers and has benefits across operating costs, debt and
equity.
Importantly, your underlying investment in Vital remains
unchanged by this Proposal. It does not involve changing
Vital’s specialist healthcare property strategy or property
assets; there is no change to the NZX primary listing; and PIE
status will be retained for the New Zealand assets. T here is
no change to board members or management; and there is
no impact on the fee and governance arrangements approved
in 2019.
We believe that the Proposal is a compelling opportunity to
position Vital for the future.

[Slide [11] – Questions]
Ladies and gentlemen, I would now like to move to the formal
business of the Meeting. As I mentioned, we have just the
one matter to consider today. The full text of the resolution
is set out in the Notice of Meeting. It relates to the approval
of a Proposal to restructure Vital to facilitate an ASX listing.
As we have heard, this is an important decision for the future
of Vital and I am keen that we are able to facilitate a good
dialogue between unitholders and the Manager, despite the
circumstances.
I would like to now open up to questions from unitholders.
Unitholders can submit questions online through the webpage
or app that you are using to participate in the meeting. The
question icon is at the top of the screen on the right hand
side. The icon looks like two speech bubbles. When you click
on this icon, there is a question box at the bottom of your

8
screen where y ou can type in a question. Those questions
will go through to a moderator, and will then appear on the
questions screen while I read them out.
In the off chance that we get more questions than we can
practically answer during the meeting, we can follow up any
unanswered questions after the meeting.
I am keen for an open dialogue, the only parameters I
propose to set are:
• to ask that people try to keep their questions as concise
as possible, recognizing that I will need to read them out
for you, and also to be considerate to other Unitholders
wishing to also ask questions
• I would be grateful if you could ensure that your
questions or comments relate to the Proposal being
considered at today’s meeting
Please note that only Unitholders or Proxy holders are
permitted to submit questions at this meeting.

[Open up for Q&A]

Thank you for that discussion ladies and gentlemen.
I propose that we move to voting on the resolution at hand.

[Slide [12] – Resolution]
The Proposal will be approved if the resolution is passed by
special resolution, being a resolution passed by unitholders
with a combined value of not less than 75% of the value of
the units held by those persons who are entitled to vote and
voting on the resolution.

NorthWest is unable to vote on the Proposal. Whilst there is
no change to the substance of the management
arrangements, or management fees payable by Vital, for
technical reasons, NorthWest and its associated parties are
prevented from voting on the Proposal under the Financial
Markets Conduct Act.

[Slide [13] – Proxy results]

We will now open the application for voting.

[Slide [14] – application screen shot - voting]

On your screen you will now see a voting icon at the top of
your screen, to the right of the questions icon. When you
click on this icon, it will take you to the voting screen where
you can submit your vote.

Please can I ask you now to cast your vote by clicking or
tapping the button on the voting screen to reflect your vote.

Voting will be open for two minutes.

[Wait for two minutes]

Thank you - voting has now been closed.
