Dear Unitholder
GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST - Annual Meeting of Unitholders
The Annual Meeting is to be held on Wednesday 22 July 2020, at 12:00 pm. It will be a
virtual meeting, the format being decided during Alert Level 4. While the country has
since progressed to Alert Level 1, Australian based directors are currently unable to
travel and further disruption from COVID-19 is still a possibility. A virtual format negates
these issues and was therefore considered the best option for this year’s Annual
Meeting of Unitholders.
As a virtual meeting, attendance and participation will be through a live webcast,
accessed through an internet connected computer, smartphone, tablet or similar device.
Enclosed with this letter are three documents relating to the meeting. They include:
1. Notice of Meeting – details of the meeting agenda and resolution
2. Voting and Proxy Form – for appointing a proxy to vote on your behalf
3. Virtual Annual Meeting Guide 2020 – instructions for participating.
The meeting agenda includes one resolution relating to the reappointment of Susan
Paterson as an Independent Director. The Board encourages you to exercise your right
to vote and unanimously recommends that Unitholders vote in favour of the resolution.
You can vote during the virtual meeting or by appointing a proxy to vote on your behalf.
To appoint a proxy you have two options, either;
a) complete and return the Voting and Proxy Form or
b) complete the proxy voting process online at www.investorvote.co.nz.
Please note both proxy voting options need to be received by 12:00 pm on Monday 20
July 2020.
Should you have any questions regarding the meeting format or voting, please call our
registry information line on 0800 359 999 or +64 9 488 8777 for those calling from
outside New Zealand.
Yours faithfully,
Keith Smith

Directors required to retire shall be eligible for reappointment at
that meeting.
