Stride Property GroupAnnual Report 20215Stride Property GroupAnnual Report 20214
Dear Shareholders
Stride Property Group has delivered
very positive financial results for FY21,
in a year that was significantly disrupted
due to COVID-19. Stride has managed
the impacts of COVID-19 while also
delivering on its strategic objectives,
positioning Stride to take the next step
in growing its real estate investment
management business.
FY21 has been another active year for Stride, with a focus
on execution of Stride’s strategic objective of growing
its real estate investment management business. During
FY21, Stride’s Assets Under Management (AUM) increased
by $0.8 billion to $3.0 billion, with highlights that included:
• The establishment and growth of Industre,
with Industre acquiring seven properties since
commencement for a total purchase price of
$118 million, including one property acquired post
balance date for $10 million. The Industre portfolio
has grown to $610 million as at 31 March 2021.
• Investore’s $105 million equity capital raise and
post-balance date acquisitions. A number of capital
management initiatives were completed for Investore,
which have provided it with flexibility to continue
its strategy of targeted growth. Post balance date
Investore has settled on the acquisition of Countdown
Petone for $37.3 million, and has entered into a
conditional agreement to purchase development
land at Waimak Junction, Kaiapoi, North Canterbury.
Investore has reached agreement in principle with
Countdown to develop a new supermarket on this
land, which will leave 1.6 hectares remaining for
future development opportunities. The total capital
commitment associated with the acquisition (including
land cost and development cost for stage 1) is
expected to be $31 million and stage 1 is expected
to be completed in 2023. The acquisition remains
conditional on receipt of resource consents for the
development and concluding a final, documented
agreement to lease with Countdown.
• The growth of Stride’s directly-held portfolio of
office properties. SPL has acquired three additional
office properties during FY21 and tripled the value
of its office portfolio to $580 million as at 31 March
2021. This growth in Stride’s office portfolio has
positioned it to launch a new office property entity,
which is currently planned to occur during FY22,
subject to market conditions.
Shareholders will be familiar with Stride’s strategic pillars
of Performance, Products, Places and People. This year
we are modifying those pillars slightly to combine Products
and Places, and introduce a new pillar of Portfolio – this is
due to the evolution of Stride as an investor and manager,
with SPL developing portfolios of assets through special
purpose subsidiaries which could over time be used to
establish new Products. SPL will continue to hold an
1. See glossary on page 156.
interest in each of the Products that are created by Stride and
accordingly it will continue to have direct property ownership
interests as well as indirect interests through its shareholding
in each of the Stride Products. SPL will hold its ongoing
investments in these Products through entities which will
hold the underlying properties as long term investments. The
Stride portfolio (which we are now reporting as “Portfolio”)
should therefore be seen as a combination of directly-owned
property and “look through” interests in the properties owned
by each of the Stride Products.
Performance
Stride has delivered strong financial results for FY21,
due primarily to prudent financial management and a very
active period as manager of the Stride Products in a period
impacted by COVID-19. The Stride Board is very pleased
to deliver profit after tax from continuing operations of
$132.0 million, significantly higher than FY20 (FY20:
–$0.1 million).
The Board notes that certain prior year figures have been
re-presented as a result of the commencement of Industre
on 1 July 2020, which met the definition of a discontinued
operation. Accordingly, comparative information has been
re-presented to exclude the industrial portfolio.
Contributing to this higher profit after tax from continuing
operations is management fee income which, at
$25.1 million, is $6.8 million higher than FY20 (FY20:
$18.3m). This increase is due in large part to fees received
from Industre, which commenced operations during the year,
as well as higher asset management fees, performance fees
and leasing fees from Investore. This outcome demonstrates
the benefits of Stride’s strategy of growing its real estate
investment management business, through establishing
separate commercial property-owning entities and growing
those entities.
Net rental income from continuing operations was slightly
down on FY20 (FY21: $49.9 million; FY20: $50.4 million),
primarily as a result of the income lost through the sale of
three properties to Investore in April 2020 and the reduced
rental from the property at 22 The Terrace, Wellington, which
is undergoing refurbishment, balanced against higher income
from the three office properties acquired during the year.
The main expenses for Stride, which consist of corporate
expenses and net finance expenses, were both lower than
FY20 (corporate expenses – FY21: $21.1 million; FY20:
$22.4 million; net finance expenses – FY21: $13.4 million;
FY20: $16.5 million), leading to lower overall expenses
for FY21.
The revaluation movement in the SPL portfolio from
continuing operations was a material benefit to Stride’s
profit after tax from continuing operations for FY21, with
revaluation gains of $38.8 million for FY21, up by
$60.9 million on FY20 (FY20: –$22.2 million). In addition,
Stride’s share of profit in associates was $58.8 million
higher than FY20 (FY21: $62.3 million; FY20: $3.5 million),
which was driven by portfolio valuation gains in Investore
and Industre Property Joint Venture.
As a result, distributable profit
1
for FY21 was materially
higher than FY20, and higher than anticipated at the
commencement of FY21 when Stride announced its
dividend guidance for FY21. These financial results are very
pleasing and testament to Stride’s strategy of growing its
real estate investment management business as well as the
careful and disciplined management of the business during
the COVID-19 period.
Products and Places
Stride’s Products are the property-owning businesses it
manages, comprising, in addition to SPL itself:
• Investore Property Limited – an NZX listed entity that
owns large format retail property throughout the length
of New Zealand.
• Industre Property Joint Venture – a joint venture
between SPL and a group of international institutional
investors, through a special purpose vehicle and
advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management (together,
JPMAM). Industre invests solely in industrial property,
primarily located in the Auckland region.
• Diversified NZ Property Trust – a private trust that
owns four shopping centres in New Zealand.
Investore was well placed to manage the impacts of
COVID-19 during FY21 due to the high proportion of
supermarkets in its portfolio, which were able to remain
open and trading under all Alert Levels imposed by the New
Zealand Government to manage COVID-19. The extremely
busy period for supermarkets during COVID-19 benefited
Investore through higher turnover rental, up 81% to
$1.0 million. However, it also meant that some supermarket
improvement projects were put on hold during this period.
Chair and CEO’s
Report

Wellington
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 202167
Investore also took advantage of market conditions during
April and May 2020 to launch an equity capital raising to
raise funds to continue its strategy of targeted growth. This
has resulted in Investore having a relatively low loan to value
ratio as at 31 March 2021 of 26.8%, which is conservative
given its stable portfolio with a relatively long WALT
1
. Since
balance date, Investore acquired Countdown Petone and
has announced the conditional acquisition of development
land at Waimak Junction, Kaiapoi. Taking into account
these acquisitions, together with proposed and current
developments, Investore’s portfolio value would increase to
$1.1 billion and LVR
1
to 31.2% (on a pro forma 31 March
2021 basis assuming these transactions had completed at
that date). Investore will have $128 million of available debt
facility headroom to continue its growth strategy.
Industre commenced operations on 1 July 2020, and since
then Stride is proud to have delivered on Industre’s growth
aspirations, completing $108 million of acquisitions in
FY21, with a further acquisition for $10 million completed
post balance date.
As at 31 March 2021, Industre’s portfolio was worth
$610 million, and this has subsequently increased with the
additional acquisition completed since that date. Industre
has aspirations to continue to grow its portfolio and SIML
continues to actively seek acquisition and development
opportunities for Industre. As has been reported previously,
the Industre joint venture partner JPMAM
1
has committed
an amount of capital to fund growth initiatives, subject to
meeting certain investment return and approval thresholds,
providing Industre with available funding to continue to grow.
FY21 has been a challenging year for all shopping centre
operators due to the New Zealand Government enforced
closures and trading restrictions placed on centres and
retailers. However, SIML is pleased to report that in the
second half of FY21, the sales performance of retailers
rebounded significantly, resulting in stable occupancy and
Diversified’s portfolio value increasing to $466 million.
During FY21 SIML continued to manage the rebuild of part
of the Queensgate Shopping Centre that was damaged
during the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake. Rebuilding a carpark
and cinema complex in one corner of a functioning shopping
centre has provided a number of logistical challenges,
including ensuring safe entry and exit (particularly in the case
of an emergency) and ensuring tenants and visitors were
not unduly inconvenienced by the rebuild. The Boards would
like to take this opportunity to thank the SIML Development
Team and the Queensgate Shopping Centre Management
Team for their dedication to completing this rebuild in an
efficient and effective manner and navigating the challenges
of construction in a busy shopping centre environment.
This project is due to be completed progressively in stages
between late 2021 and mid 2022.
SPL Portfolio
Following the completion of the sale of the three large
format retail properties to Investore in April 2020, and the
commencement of Industre in July 2020, SPL’s directly-
held portfolio comprises office and town centre properties
2
.
SPL has been actively growing its office portfolio during
FY21, with the acquisition of three quality office buildings,
being 34 Shortland Street, Auckland, acquired for
$67.5 million (including allowance for capital upgrades
3
) in
September 2020, 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington, acquired
for $84.5 million in November 2020, and
20 Customhouse Quay, Wellington, acquired for
$228 million in December 2020. Each of these office
properties enhanced the SPL office portfolio through
their individual attributes, including location, quality,
tenant covenant, and opportunity to add value through
improvements.
SPL also owns an interest in each of the Stride Products.
SPL will be used to create and grow seed portfolios
through special purpose subsidiaries, which can be used
to establish new Products, and over time as more Stride
Products are created, the interests that SPL has in each
of the Products will become more important to its overall
portfolio value. Accordingly, it is appropriate to consider
SPL’s portfolio as comprising directly-held property
investments and indirect property investments through its
interest in each of the Stride Products.
On this basis, the SPL portfolio shows strong metrics, with a value
of $1.4 billion, 97.7% occupancy and a WALT
1
of 6.8 years.
People centred
Stride greatly values its people and strives to demonstrate
this to its employees. During FY21, at a time when the
financial impact and duration of COVID-19 was not certain,
Stride rewarded its employees for their dedication to
the business by improving employee benefits, including
increasing employer KiwiSaver contributions to 5% (when
employee contributions are 4% or greater),
extending paid paternity leave and long service
leave, and increasing annual leave by one week.
Fresh thinkers
At the commencement of Alert Level 4 restrictions in March
2020, SIML initiated an equity capital raising for Investore,
due to the unique position of Investore given its portfolio
of large format retail properties, primarily supermarkets.
This capital raising was brought to market in a very short
timeframe while working from home and raised
$105 million in gross proceeds, with net
proceeds being used to pay down debt and
provide funding flexibility to continue Investore’s
growth strategy.
People
Stride is incredibly proud of the way its team has
performed during this challenging year and the Board
would like to thank our people and their families for
their commitment to Stride during a period when
they were navigating not only increased business
pressures but also working from home while
managing families and other commitments. Stride
and its people have amply demonstrated its values of
nimble performers, discipline driven, fresh thinkers
and people centred during FY21.
Chair and CEO’s
Report
34 Shortland Street,
Auckland
Discipline driven
Stride’s clear focus on minimising the impacts of
COVID-19 on its business and taking advantage of
any opportunities that arose have resulted
in the financial impact of COVID-19 being
considerably less than originally anticipated.

3. SPL paid $66.4 million for the property at 34 Shortland Street, including
$2.25 million for building upgrades, and has committed a further sum for
additional upgrades.
Nimble performers
Stride’s people agreed 771 deals with tenants for rent
arrangements related to COVID-19 across all Stride
Products during FY21 – this is not work that was anticipated
at the commencement of the financial year, but
Stride’s people pitched in and did what was
needed to be done to manage the impacts of the
pandemic.

COVID-19
Stride is pleased to have delivered a better than expected
outcome with respect to the financial impact of COVID-19.
An initial assessment of the expected financial impact was
provided in Stride’s annual report for FY20, and an update
as at 30 September 2020 set out in Stride’s interim report.
Stride is pleased to advise that due to the commitment of its
people in managing and minimising the financial impacts
of COVID-19 on its business, the overall financial impact
of COVID-19 for FY21 is now calculated to be a
$0.3 million increase in distributable profit
1
after current
income tax, compared with an initial estimate
3
of a reduction
in distributable profit
1
after current income tax of between
$2.9 million and $5.1 million for FY21. This is a testament
to Stride’s people and their commitment to the business,
and the Board was pleased that it had elected to reward
employees for their dedication through this period by
introducing improved benefits.
The Stride team delivered positive outcomes for the
Stride Products during the COVID-19 periods as well. As
shareholders will be aware, Stride’s strategy has been to
seek to assist tenants where it is needed through rent relief
arrangements while at the same time seeking to achieve a
benefit for the relevant Stride Product through an extension
of the lease term or early renewal – particularly where the
tenant may not have otherwise been contractually entitled
to rent relief.
Executing on this approach, Stride has agreed a
weighted average lease extension across all COVID-19
arrangements as follows:
Sustainability
The world is becoming more aware of the need to
change the way we live and work, in order to ensure we
maintain a healthy and productive planet for ourselves
and future generations. Stride is conscious of the impact
of its activities on the planet and its people, and seeks
to minimise any adverse consequences of its activities
on the planet while also meeting the expectations of
its shareholders in delivering a return on the funds
shareholders have invested in Stride.
In order to ensure that sustainability plays a key part in
decisions of the Board and actions of Management, and to
demonstrate its commitment to improving its performance in
this area, Stride has established a Sustainability Committee
of the Boards of Directors of SPL and SIML. This Committee
is chaired by Jacqueline Cheyne, who has extensive
experience in this field including through her time at Deloitte
New Zealand where she led the Corporate Responsibility
and Sustainability services function for nine years.
The Sustainability Committee has overseen the
development of a refreshed sustainability strategy, based
on three pillars:
• Protect the planet - We want to create efficient,
climate-resilient places that deliver long term value and
support a low carbon future.
• Contribute to a resilient community - We want to
provide leading health and safety performance and
support a connected and inclusive society.
• Develop shared prosperity - We want to foster
long-term prosperity by investing in and managing
outstanding places that reward everyone connected
with them.
The Sustainability Committee considers that it is important
that Stride’s actions demonstrate its commitment to
sustainability, and this has been achieved during FY21
through the following key activities:
• Stride has implemented a new software system to
measure its greenhouse gas emissions.
• Stride has developed an initial list of climate related
risks, which are reported on pages 50 and 51, and
plans to complete further work during FY22 to
complete its climate risk assessment, which will
allow Stride to report against the Taskforce on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD)
framework from FY22.
• SPL assessed during FY21 that seismic strengthening
work was required at its building at 22 The Terrace,
Wellington. In planning that upgrade work, Stride
elected to take the opportunity to implement a number
of sustainability initiatives at the building. While this
increased the cost of the project, the Stride Board
was pleased to support these initiatives as they are
beneficial for the environment and also enable Stride
to deliver a higher quality building with associated
higher rentals. Stride is targeting a 5 star Green Star
Design and As-Built rating and a 5 star NABERSNZ
rating for the building.
Further detail on Stride’s approach to sustainability can be
found on pages 46 to 53 of this report.

Governance
The Boards of SPL and SIML are proud to have guided
delivery of these very pleasing results for FY21. This has
been a particularly active year for both Management and
the Boards, given the intense monitoring and support
involved during the period impacted by COVID-19 and
Stride’s subsequent growth activity, including acquisitions
and an equity capital raising. The Boards are pleased that
this activity is evident in the financial results for FY21.
Stride’s distribution policy has been to distribute between
95% and 100% of distributable profit
1
, to support its
strategy of delivering consistent dividends, as well as long-
term growth for shareholders. Given Stride’s evolution into
becoming a diversified investor and investment manager,
and given the significant growth in the financial results for
FY21, the Boards have taken the opportunity to increase
the range of Stride’s distribution policy to distributing
between 80% and 100% of distributable profit
1
. This larger
range will provide Stride with the scope to continue to pay
investors consistent returns, while allowing flexibility to
reinvest capital into Stride’s growing businesses.
Future direction and outlook
Stride’s strategy is to establish a group of Products
in specific sectors to provide growth in its investment
management business. SPL has continued to grow its
office portfolio during FY22, to a value of $580 million as at
31 March 2021. In addition, as announced on 27 May
2021, Stride has an unconditional agreement to acquire
an additional Auckland office property at 46 Sale Street
for a purchase price of $152 million. This positions Stride
to create a new listed Product focused on the commercial
office property sector. The Boards plan to establish this
new Product during FY22, noting this remains subject to
market conditions.
The Boards confirm that they currently intend to pay a
combined cash dividend for SPL and SIML during FY22
of 9.91 cents per share. The Stride Boards will continue
to review dividend guidance if and when a new Product
is established, and will keep the market informed as
appropriate.
On behalf of the Boards and staff, thank you for your
continued support of Stride Property Group.

People
FY21 was dominated
by the impacts of
COVID-19 and required
a level of activity that
was unprecedented in
Stride’s history. The
pandemic posed a
number of challenges for
the Stride team, and we
are very proud of the way
our people responded to
those challenges.
Stride recognises that a successful business requires a great team and that
a company is only as strong as its people. Accordingly, during FY21 Stride
undertook a review of employee benefits, resulting in the following:
• Annual leave increased by one week.
• Christmas shutdown period increased to three weeks, to ensure that
employees have a genuine break to re-charge their batteries.
• KiwiSaver employer contributions increased to 5% of gross earnings
(provided employee contributions are at 4% or above). This employer
contribution is 2% above the minimum mandated by the New Zealand
Government.
• Long service leave and paid paternity leave increased.
The Stride Board determined to provide these benefits during a year impacted
by COVID-19, when earnings were uncertain, to demonstrate its commitment to
attracting and retaining the best calibre people.

SPL’s town centre assets have been chosen by Stride due to their individual
strategic strengths:
• NorthWest Shopping Centre is in a strong growth area, providing increased
customer traffic and demand for the products offered by tenants of the centre.
NorthWest Shopping Centre is a true mixed-use development, with over
7,700 sqm of office space, and has further potential for development.
This centre has performed well during FY21. While moving annual turnover
(MAT) was down 13.1% for the year, if travel-related retailers were excluded
MAT was up 1.2%, despite the centre having been closed for 20% of trading
days due to Alert Level restrictions. This continues a positive sales trend for the
centre, with MAT (excluding travel-related retailers) up 5.8% compared with the
year ended 31 March 2019.
• Silverdale Centre is also located in an area of Auckland that is experiencing
strong population growth, a developing region that will continue to
drive customer visitation. Silverdale Centre demonstrated strong sales
performance in FY21, with MAT up 1.7% and specialty retailer MAT up 4.1%
compared with the year ended 31 March 2020. This performance compares
even more favourably given the centre was also closed for 20% of trading
days due to COVID-19.
• Johnsonville Shopping Centre (owned 50:50 by SPL and Diversified) is
ideally located in a busy suburban Wellington location, directly beside the
railway line into Wellington’s CBD. Johnsonville Shopping Centre represents
a development opportunity and Stride is currently exploring options for the
redevelopment of this centre.

acquisition of 40-42 Wilkinson
Road, Ellerslie
JPMAM has contributed all of the equity for these acquisitions, in accordance with
the intentions of both JPMAM and SPL at commencement of the joint venture.
This has resulted in SPL’s interest in Industre reducing to 56.3% as at 31 March
2021. While SPL has the right to contribute equity in line with its proportionate
interest in the joint venture, Industre’s strategy over the long term is for JPMAM to
fund further portfolio growth until the respective shareholdings in the portfolio are
75% / 25% (JPMAM/SPL).
Having completed the acquisition of the property at 439 Rosebank Road in
December 2020, Industre has demolished the existing buildings on site, and is
currently planning to develop new, modern industrial units. This is an example
of the type of development that Industre specialises in – acquiring brownfield
sites and improving or redeveloping them to meet tenant needs and create
enduring demand.

The four shopping centres owned by Diversified were significantly impacted by
COVID-19 during FY21. Although the centres are all located outside of Auckland,
and therefore avoided the Auckland restrictions imposed in August 2020 and
February 2021, the Alert Level 4 lockdown in April and May 2020 meant the
centres were unable to trade.
SIML has worked hard to minimise the impacts of COVID-19 on the Diversified
portfolio and seek to achieve a benefit for Diversified where Diversified has
agreed to provide rent relief arrangements with tenants, if possible. As a result,
Diversified has benefited from a weighted average lease extension of 10 months
agreed in return for rent relief arrangements.
In addition to managing the ever-changing COVID-19 impacts, Diversified has
continued with the rebuild of part of the Queensgate Shopping Centre during
FY21. This centre suffered damage in the Kaikoura earthquake in 2016 and
part of the carpark and the cinema complex are currently being rebuilt, with the
carpark due to be completed in late 2021 and the cinema complex targeting to
be open for Easter 2022. This will provide a welcome addition to the centre, and
is expected to drive increased visitation, given the lack of cinema facilities in the
wider Wellington region.

Stride’s strategy of creating a group of
sector-specific commercial property
Products managed by SIML, with
SPL owning an interest in each Stride

On a weighted look-through
basis, SPL’s portfolio shows a
strong weighting to the office
sector. This is a result of SPL
growing its office portfolio
over the past year.
Stride intends to establish an investment management Product using SPL’s office
assets, which will result in SPL’s interest in the office sector reducing. Stride
expects over time to hold a balanced portfolio of commercial property assets,
although the percentages will flex as Stride invests in different sectors through
special purpose subsidiaries before creating a new Product.

Investment
Management Business
Stride’s strategy is
to create a group
of Products in
specific commercial
property sectors to
grow its investment
management business.
SIML will manage
each of the Products
and SPL will continue
to own an interest in
each of the Products,
benefiting Stride
through the creation
of new investment
management entities.
The benefits of this strategy of developing Stride’s real estate investment
management business have been evident during the year in review:
• Each Stride Product has managed the impacts of COVID-19 differently, with
Investore benefiting from the demand for supermarkets during lockdown
periods.
• The Stride Products have demonstrated the benefits of having access to
separate pools of capital, with Industre continuing to grow through utilising
equity from JPMAM, Stride conducting an equity capital raise to fund the
acquisition of additional office properties to grow its office portfolio, and
Investore undertaking an equity capital raise to provide funding flexibility for
future growth.
• Management fee income was materially higher in FY21, up $6.8 million to
$25.1 million
1
primarily due to increased activity-based income.
1. Net of management fees received from SPL.
2. Stride’s revenue comprises SIML management fees and SPL revenue. SPL revenue comprises income derived from
SPL’s directly-held property plus revenue derived from its interests in the Stride Products which is calculated based on
net Contract Rental on a look-through basis as at 31 March 2021. Base management fees comprise estimated FY22
management fees from Stride Products (i.e. excluding fees from SPL) and exclude capex fees, planned maintenance fees,
leasing fees, development fees, performance fees and other one-off or activity based fees.

Capital Management
Stride has taken an active
and prudent approach
to capital management
during FY21, given the
uncertainties created
by COVID-19. During
FY21, Stride undertook
a number of capital
management initiatives
to ensure it maintained
an appropriate balance of
debt facilities and equity.
These initiatives included:
• Refinancing of $135m of debt for a further three years to June 2024.
• Additional $150m of facility committed in December 2020 to support
growth initiatives.
• Equity capital raising announced in November 2020, to raise additional
equity to support the acquisition of two office properties in Wellington, being
215 Lambton Quay and 20 Customhouse Quay. Stride sought to raise
$220m, through a $180m share placement and a share purchase plan
seeking to raise $40m. The share purchase plan was oversubscribed, and
Stride elected to accept $50m of applications, resulting in a total of $230m
of gross proceeds raised.
• New banks introduced to the SPL banking syndicate, adding diversification in
funding sources and supporting future growth.

Sustainability
Stride’s approach
to sustainability has
developed during FY21
under the oversight
of the Stride Board
Sustainability Committee.
This section sets out
Stride’s approach to
sustainability under
the focus areas of
governance, strategy,
risk management
and metrics.
Governance
Stride has established a Board Sustainability Committee to ensure a dedicated
focus at the Board level on the impact of climate-related issues on Stride’s
business and other areas of Stride’s sustainability performance. Given the
increasing focus of the New Zealand Government, regulators, investors and
tenants on sustainability matters, Stride has established a Board Sustainability
Committee to ensure it is able to meet the demands of these interest groups
while also delivering profitable performance for shareholders. The creation of this
Committee demonstrates Stride’s commitment to improving the sustainability of
Stride’s business and particularly its impact on the environment.
The Sustainability Committee is chaired by Director Jacqueline Cheyne, who has
significant experience in sustainability issues. Jacqueline is currently the chair of
the External Reporting Board Steering Group responsible for development of the
climate reporting standards, a Director of New Zealand Green Investment Finance
Limited and previously led Deloitte’s Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability
services function for Deloitte New Zealand for nine years. Other members of the
Committee are Tim Storey, the Stride Board Chair, and Director Philip Ling.
The Sustainability Committee appreciates that Stride has work to do to
demonstrate best practice in sustainability, but considers that important work
has been undertaken in this area during FY21, as reported in this section of the
Annual Report.
Strategy
Stride has refreshed its sustainability
strategic plan, which is focused on
three distinct goals. This plan sets
the primary objectives that Stride
considers in its decision-making.
Stride’s Sustainability Strategic Plan
Risk Management
During FY21 Stride’s Sustainability Committee considered the key risks, at a high
level, that may be faced by Stride in relation to climate change, and, in accordance
with the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), categorised
those risks into two categories – transition risks, being those associated with
transitioning to a low-carbon economy, and physical risks, being risks arising as a
result of changes in the physical climate and acute climate events.
A summary of the key climate change risks assessed by the business and reported
to the Stride Sustainability Committee is set out on pages 50 and 51. During
FY22 Stride intends to undertake further work to refine these risks and prepare
a detailed and comprehensive climate risk assessment for Stride and the Stride
Products, in preparation for reporting against the TCFD framework from FY22.
Metrics
Stride has commenced the process of gathering emissions data to enable it to
record and report on its greenhouse gas emissions. Stride has subscribed to the
New Zealand-developed BraveGen software, which captures the greenhouse gas
emissions data for Stride and each of its Products.
Once the baseline year data has been determined, Stride will commission an
independent assurance of that data, to enable it to report confidently against its
baseline emissions. Stride expects that this data will be available for reporting
from FY22.

ObjectiveUN Sustainable Development Goals
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 20214647
Key achievements for FY21 have been:
• Stride has implemented the BraveGen software system which allows Stride
to measure its greenhouse gas emissions and that of the Stride Products.
Stride intends to report on its greenhouse gas emissions from FY22.
• Stride has developed an initial list of climate related risks, which are reported
on pages 50 and 51. Stride intends during FY22 to complete further work to
formalise this climate risk assessment, which is a starting point for Stride to
set strategies and develop objectives to manage these risks.
• SPL assessed during FY21 that seismic strengthening work was required
at its building at 22 The Terrace, Wellington. In planning that upgrade
work, Stride determined to take the opportunity to implement a number of
sustainability initiatives. More information can be found on pages 52 and 53.
• Stride is currently assessing each of its office buildings to determine
whether work needs to be completed to enable the building to obtain a
NABERSNZ rating. NABERSNZ is a system for rating the energy efficiency
of office buildings, and is an independent tool backed by the New Zealand
Government. Stride expects that tenants will increasingly demand a
NABERSNZ rating as part of lease commitments from landlords, and the
New Zealand Government is leading the way in this regard. In order to obtain
a NABERSNZ rating, at least 12 months of energy consumption data is
required, and therefore some of SPL’s office buildings may need additional
metering and further time to determine landlord emissions and become
eligible to obtain a NABERSNZ rating.
Achievements
As signalled in the FY20 Annual
Report, a key focus for FY21
has been developing Stride’s
sustainability strategy, as well as
a commitment to completing a
baseline carbon emission calculation,
integrating sustainability into the
planning process, particularly for
major developments, and beginning
the climate risk assessment process.

seismic strengthening works to be completed. In
planning these works, Stride identified a number of
sustainability improvements that could be made to the
building at the same time as the seismic strengthening
and refurbishment works are completed. These
works, taken as a whole, will make the building more
attractive to tenants, while also saving money in the
long run due to reduced energy consumption.
The Stride Board has approved expenditure of at least
$2 million to implement sustainability initiatives at
22 The Terrace, targeting a 5 star Green Star Design
and As-Built rating, and a 5 star NABERSNZ rating.
The benefits of this strategy are:
• Reduce emissions associated with operation of
the building
• Improve attractiveness of the building to tenants,
which Stride expects will improve rent over time,
benefiting shareholders in SPL
• Extend the life of the building and reduce future
costs associated with implementing sustainability
initiatives, as these were undertaken at the time
of essential works
Installing water efficient tap and
bathroom hardware, LED lighting, and
efficient heating and air conditioning,
thus reducing resource consumption and
thereby reducing emissions
Creating a rainwater harvesting
system, which will reduce water
demand from the building
Improving the thermal performance of the
building by installing a thermal film system to
all glazed surfaces, repairing window seals
and frames and completing thermal insulation
works to the walls and roof. This improves the
efficiency of the heating and cooling system,
thus reducing energy consumption and thereby
reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Increasing the number of visitor cycle
spaces, encouraging visitors to the
building to reduce their dependence on
cars and motorised transport
Creating an end of trip facility, including
showers, bathrooms, cycle park facilities,
lockers and drying rooms, which makes it
easier for tenants to cycle, walk, or run to
work, thus reducing dependence on cars and
improving wellness
Establishing a waste management
facility, which enables tenants to
reduce their waste to landfill

Community
Engagement
One of the core pillars
of Stride’s Sustainability
Strategic Plan is to
“contribute to a resilient
community”, which
includes supporting a
connected and inclusive
society. This section of the
report outlines the ways in
which Stride contributes
to the societies in which
it operates.
Family Fun
The shopping centres managed by SIML have a strong focus on family
activities, as family is the heart of the community. A number of Stride’s
Shopping Centres host a toddler day, with free arts and crafts activities
for children. This is then amplified during school holidays with a number
of free events and education-based entertainment for children.
The centres recognised that COVID-19 posed a challenge to parents
to keep children entertained during the April 2020 school holidays and
responded accordingly – Johnsonville Shopping Centre sponsored
Zappo the Magician to produce a daily Facebook live show during the
April 2020 school holidays to engage and entertain children that were
locked down at home. This was very successful with around
785 engagements for each show.
Social distancing impacted a number of planned school holiday events and
shopping centres had to deftly change direction
to provide safe and entertaining fun for children.
NorthWest Shopping Centre devised a centre-
wide treasure hunt for children, which proved
very popular. Smiling children playing in open
spaces was all the reward our teams need for
their dedication and hard work.
Not all fun is for the children of course, and
during December Queensgate Shopping
Centre developed “Putt in the Hutt”, a mini-putt
activity situated within the centre. This was very
successful, with over 3,300 people participating.
Some local schools even incorporated Putt in the
Hutt into their end of year activity and donated to
the Wellington City Mission as their ‘fee for entry’.
NorthWest Shopping Centre ran a series of free
outdoor events that catered for the whole family,
including hosting free movies on a giant outdoor
screen, where locals could bring a beanbag or
blanket and settle in for a night under the stars
watching the stars in the latest releases.
Empathy
Contributing to a resilient community involves having a level
of empathy for all those in the community who may be facing
challenges, and this has been particularly true during FY21
given the unexpected challenges that COVID-19 presented.
Queensgate Shopping Centre participated in the Lower
Hutt Street Art Festival held during March 2021, with one
wall of Queensgate Shopping Centre turned into an outdoor
art gallery, showcasing the work of two internationally
acclaimed street artists, Berst (Dr Bobby Hung) and
Askew 1 (Elliot O’Donnell). The mural depicts EMPATHY
and was created to refresh their own artwork that was
painted more than 15 years ago.

NorthWest Shopping Centre supported their local
Salvation Army during FY21 in a number of ways.
The centre hosted a donation box, collecting
between 7 and 10 banana boxes of product every
week which were donated to families in need. The
centre also supported the Salvation Army with their
Christmas gift wrapping appeal, with donations
amounting to more than $10,500, an increase of
15% on the prior year.
To celebrate New Zealand Sign Language Week,
Queensgate Shopping Centre enlisted the help of
4-year-old Sign Language Week ambassador and
Lego enthusiast, Carter, to teach the Queensgate
Facebook community how to sign some common
words relevant to the shopping centre.
Queensgate and Chartwell Shopping Centres have
been long standing partners with Dress for Success,
who provide a service for women to achieve
economic independence, and offer professional
work attire for their clients. Members of the
community are able to donate clothing in the centres
and the centres also make their own donations.
Space
All of the SIML-managed shopping centres recognise that
contributing to a resilient community involves more than just
hosting fun events. Spaces are made available within the
centres for charities and community groups free of charge,
to enable these groups to engage with the local community
and raise awareness and funds to help support their cause.

The Five Year Financial Summary table reflects the numbers in the financial statements for each respective year.
On 11 July 2016, SPL distributed shares in its subsidiary Investore to SPL shareholders and Investore issued shares to
investors in connection with its initial public offer (IPO). Investore entered into a listing agreement with NZX Limited (NZX) and
its ordinary shares were quoted, and commenced trading on the main board equity security market of NZX, on 12 July 2016.
The financial performance for Investore for the period ended 11 July 2016 (2017 column) has been presented as “Profit from
discontinued operations”.
On 1 July 2020, Industre commenced operations. Industre is a joint arrangement between SPL and a group of international
institutional investors, through a special purpose vehicle, advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM). On 1 July 2020,
SPL held a 68.25% interest in Industre. This reduced to 56.33% as at 31 March 2021.
The accounting for the arrangements by SPL is a combination of a joint operation (proportionate share of assets, liabilities,
revenue and expenses) and joint venture (equity accounted). Only JPMAM’s special purpose vehicle’s participating interest
has been treated as discontinued in respect of the joint operation as SPL retained a partial direct ownership interest in the
properties. All of the financial performance and cash flows pertaining to the properties that have been transferred to the
Industre joint venture has have been treated as discontinued. The financial performance for the discontinued operations are for
the period ended 30 June 2020 (2021 column) and the year ended 31 March 2020 (2020 column) and has been presented
as “Profit/(loss) from discontinued operations”.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 31 March 2021
This section sets out Stride Property Group’s accounting policies that relate to the consolidated financial statements (financial statements)
as a whole. Where an accounting policy is specific to a note, the policy is described within the note to which it relates.
1.1 Reporting entity
The financial statements presented are those of Stride Property Limited (SPL) and Stride Investment Management Limited (SIML), each of SPL and
SIML being a “Stapled Entity”, and together the Stride Property Group (Stride). For accounting purposes, stapling gives rise to the combination of the
Stapled Entities into a consolidated group. For the purposes of financial reporting, one of the combining entities is required to be identified as the parent
entity of the consolidated group. In the case of Stride, SPL has been identified as the parent for the purposes of preparing the financial statements and
consequently SIML’s equity is presented as the non-controlling interest in the financial statements.
SPL is principally involved in the ownership of investment properties in New Zealand and SIML is principally involved in the management of real estate
investment entities in New Zealand. SPL and SIML are both domiciled in New Zealand, are both registered under the Companies Act 1993 and are both
FMC reporting entities under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
Shares of SPL and SIML are stapled and quoted on the Main Board equity securities market of NZX under the ticker code SPG.
The financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors of SPL (SPL Board) and the Board of Directors of SIML (SIML Board), together
the “Boards”, on 27 May 2021.
1.2 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (NZ GAAP). Stride is a for-profit
entity for the purposes of financial reporting. The financial statements comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards
(NZ IFRS), other New Zealand accounting standards and authoritative notices that are applicable to entities that apply NZ IFRS. The financial statements
also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Financial Markets
Conduct (Stride Property Group) Exemption Notice 2017 and waivers granted to Stride from certain of the NZX Listing Rules dated 1 January 2020
(NZX Listing Rules), which each permit SPL and SIML, subject to the conditions of the exemption notice and waivers (respectively), to prepare financial
statements in respect of Stride in place of separate financial statements of each Stapled Entity. These waivers (dated 28 May 2020) replace, and are of the
same effect as, the previous waivers granted to Stride from certain of the NZX Main Board Listing Rules dated 1 October 2017.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for assets and liabilities stated at fair value as disclosed. The financial
statements have been presented in New Zealand dollars and have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless stated otherwise.
Certain comparative information has been re-presented. Refer note 7.4 for more information.

1.4 Significant accounting policies, estimates and judgements
In the application of NZ IFRS, the Boards and management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on experience and other factors that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from the
estimates, judgements and assumptions made by the Boards and management.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Judgements made by the Boards and management in the application of NZ IFRS that have significant effects on the financial statements and estimates
with a significant risk of material adjustments in the next year are disclosed, where applicable, in the relevant notes to the financial statements as follows:
• Investment properties (note 3.2);
• Lease liabilities (3.3);
• Derivative financial instruments (note 5.2);
• Industre joint venture (note 7.0); and
• Deferred tax (note 8.1).
1.5 Fair value estimation
Stride classifies its fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making measurements. The fair
value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices included within level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (as prices) or indirectly
(derived from prices); and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
1.6 Non-NZ GAAP measures
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes two non-NZ GAAP measures; Profit before net finance expense, other income/(expense)
and income tax from continuing operations; and Profit before other income/(expense) and income tax from continuing operations. These non-NZ GAAP
measures have been presented to assist investors in understanding the different aspects of Stride’s financial performance.
Note 4.2 sets out Stride’s calculation for distributable profit and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) which are both non-NZ GAAP measures.
Distributable profit is presented to provide an earnings measure which more closely aligns to Stride’s underlying and recurring earnings from its operations.
AFFO is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance. Cash spent during the period on capital expenditure as part of maintaining a
building’s grade/quality, but not expensed as part of distributable profit after current income tax, is adjusted to reflect cash earnings for the year.
These non-NZ GAAP measures do not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to information
presented by other entities.
1.7 COVID-19 impacts
The global COVID-19 pandemic and resulting impacts on credit and property markets has increased the level of uncertainty around certain estimates
in these financial statements.
As at 31 March 2021, SPL has provided rent abatements of $3.2 million. Rental abatements that have been agreed with tenants have been accounted
for as lease modifications. In addition, SPL has provided for $0.4 million rental income abatements yet to be agreed with the affected tenants.
As at 31 March 2020, the independent valuations of SPL’s portfolio were reported on the basis of ‘material valuation uncertainty’, meaning less
certainty and a higher degree of caution should be applied to the valuations. As at 31 March 2021, the ‘material valuation uncertainty’ clause has been
removed on all but one of the independent valuations (refer note 3.2).
As part of its COVID-19 support package the New Zealand Government has reintroduced a 2% diminishing value depreciation deduction for
commercial properties, starting in April 2020 for SPL. This provided a reduction in current tax to SPL of approximately $1.1 million for the year ended
31 March 2021, excluding depreciation deductions on any investment property acquisitions from 1 April 2020.
1.8 Significant events and transactions
The financial position and performance of Stride was affected by the following events and transactions that occurred during the reporting period:
Divestment of properties to Investore Property Limited (Investore)
As at 31 March 2020, SPL had entered into conditional contracts to divest three large format retail properties being Bunnings Mt Roskill, Auckland,
Mt Wellington Shopping Centre, Auckland, and Bay Central Shopping Centre, Tauranga, to Investore for $140.75 million. The properties were
reclassified from investment properties to investment properties classified as held for sale and were held at $132.196 million, being the contracted
sales price excluding the seismic works SPL is to complete, estimated at $7.5 million, and rental guarantee costs of $0.6 million. SPL settled on the
divestment of the three properties on 30 April 2020. As at 31 March 2021, the seismic works had not commenced and $0.5 million of the rental
guarantee had been utilised or forgone by Investore.
Acquisition of shares in Investore
On 5 May 2020, SPL paid Investore $16.5 million (refer note 7.2) to acquire 10,013,516 shares in Investore’s equity capital raise. Following that
equity capital raising, SPL's shareholding in Investore reduced from 19.4% as at 31 March 2020 to 18.8%, being 69,201,977 shares.
Commencement of Industre Property Joint Venture (Industre)
On 1 July 2020, Industre commenced operations. Industre is a joint arrangement between SPL and a group of international institutional investors,
through a special purpose vehicle, advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM). On 1 July 2020, SPL held a 68.25% interest in Industre.
This reduced to 56.33% as at 31 March 2021 (refer notes 7.2 and 7.3).
Funding
Effective from 24 April 2020, SPL refinanced $135 million of debt for a further three years to 30 June 2024. Post the settlement of the disposal
of the three large format retail properties to Investore and the settlement of Industre, SPL repaid $206 million in total of bank borrowings and
terminated $120 million of interest rate derivatives for a total cost of $9.29 million. Effective from 20 November 2020, SPL entered into a new
$100 million, three year facility which was further increased to $150 million effective from 19 February 2021. SPL has entered into $155 million of
interest rate derivatives for tenures of between 2-4 years. Refer to notes 5.1 and 5.2 for further detail.
Acquisition of investment properties
SPL acquired the following properties during the year:
• On 1 April 2020, an industrial property at 16 Wickham Street, Hamilton, for a purchase price of $10 million. This property became part of Industre;
• On 2 September 2020, SPL acquired an office building at 34 Shortland Street, Auckland, for a purchase price of $66.4 million, including an
allowance of $2.25 million for building upgrades which are expected to be completed within the next 12 months. SPL has acquired the 17-level
building except for levels 4-7, which are owned by another party. Stride’s head office is located in this building and the value attributable to this floor
has been recognised as property, plant and equipment (refer note 8.7);
• On 30 November 2020, an office building at 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington, for a purchase price of $84.5 million; and
• On 18 December 2020, an office building at 20 Customhouse Quay, Wellington, for a purchase price of $228 million.
Revaluation of investment properties
SPL undertook independent valuations of the entire portfolio as at 31 March 2021 which resulted in a net change in fair value of investment
properties of $43.3 million (2020: ($1.8 million)) (refer note 3.2). The investment properties held by Investore, Industre and Diversified NZ Property
Trust (Diversified) were also valued by independent valuers at 31 March 2021. SPL’s share of the valuation gains/(losses) are reflected in share
of profit in equity-accounted investments and for those properties in the Industre joint operation are reflected in net change in fair value of
investment properties.
Equity capital raise
During November and December 2020, Stride undertook an equity capital raise which resulted in a gross amount of $230 million raised, with
107,476,635 shares issued at $2.14 per share (refer note 5.4).

2.0 Operating Segments (continued)
This section sets out how Stride’s revenue streams are reported internally, reflecting the two operating segments being SPL and SIML.
Accounting policy
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker, identified as the
respective Board of each of SPL and SIML, as each makes all key strategic resource allocation decisions.
SPL’s revenue streams are earned from investment properties owned in New Zealand, with no specific exposure to geographical risk. Given SPL’s diverse
client base, no one tenant represents greater than 10% of the portfolio contract rental. SPL’s revenue streams included the revenue streams earned from
the industrial investment properties divested to Industre.
SIML’s revenue streams are earned from the management of the real estate investments of Investore, Industre, Diversified and SPL. For the revenue
earned from Investore, Industre and Diversified, refer to note 8.4 on related party disclosures and note 7.3 on Industre joint operation.

(note 7.2) which increased by $161,833,000 from the prior year (2020: $12,507,000 increase).
This section covers property assets which generate Stride’s trading performance.
3.1 Net rental income
Accounting policy
Investment property is leased by SPL to tenants under operating leases with rent payable monthly. Rental income from investment properties is
recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives provided in relation to letting the investment properties are capitalised to the
respective investment properties in the consolidated statement of financial position and amortised on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable
portion of the lease to which they relate, as a reduction of rental income. Where a lease provides for fixed rental increases over the term of the lease,
they are amortised on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable portion of the lease to which they relate.
Income generated from service charges recovered from tenants are included in the gross rental income with the service charge expenses to tenants
shown in the direct property operating expenses. Such revenue is recognised in the accounting period the underlying expenses are incurred in
accordance with the contractual terms.
The recovery of employee expenses from SIML managed entities are included in the gross rental income (as service charges recovered from tenants)
with the employee related costs shown in corporate overhead expenses.

3.0 Property (continued)
3.1 Net rental income (continued)
Accounting policy
Leases are classified at their inception as either an operating or finance lease based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect the
risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor are
classified as operating leases.
Properties leased out under operating leases are included in investment properties in the consolidated statement of financial position.
SPL has determined that it retains all significant risks and rewards of ownership of properties and has therefore classified the leases as operating leases.
The future aggregate minimum rentals receivable under non-cancellable operating leases from continuing operations are as follows:

3.2 Investment properties
Accounting policy
Investment properties are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both. Investment property is initially stated at cost, including
related transaction costs and then at fair value as determined at least every 12 months by an independent registered valuer.
The fair value of an investment property represents the estimated price for which a property could be sold for at the date of valuation in an orderly
transaction between market participants. The predominant methods for assessing the current fair value of an investment property are the Income
Capitalisation and the Discounted Cash Flow approaches. Each approach derives a value based on market inputs, including:
• recent comparable transactions where available;
• forecast future rentals, based on the actual location, type and quality of the investment property, and supported by the terms of any existing
lease, other contracts or external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties;
• vacancy assumptions based on current and expected future market conditions after expiry of any current lease; and
• appropriate discount rates derived from recent comparable market transactions reflecting the uncertainty in the amount and timing of
cash flows.
In addition, consideration is given to the maintenance and capital requirements including necessary investments to maintain functionality of the
property for its expected useful life.
Any gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of the investment property is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income within net change in fair value of investment properties. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset's carrying amount only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to SPL and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs
and maintenance costs are expensed to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income during the period in which they are incurred.
Investment properties are de-recognised when they have been disposed of. The net gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference between
the carrying amount at the time of the disposal and the net proceeds on the disposal and is included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income in the reporting period in which the disposal occurs.
SPL leases various properties under non-cancellable operating lease agreements. At the inception of a contract, SPL assesses whether a contract
is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration.
Right-of-use assets are measured on initial recognition as the initial lease liability, plus any initial indirect costs incurred, less any lease incentives
received. Right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property are presented within investment property. SPL applies the fair value
model to investment property, including right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property.
Investment property is adjusted for cash flows relating to lease liabilities already recognised separately on the consolidated statement of financial
position and also reflected in the investment property valuations.

SIML does not hold investment properties but provides management services over SPL’s investment property portfolio.
The net change in fair value of $43,289,000, being $38,759,000 from continuing operations and $4,530,000 from discontinued operations
(refer note 7.4), (2020: ($1,756,000)) includes ($33,000) (2020: $62,000) in relation to the change in the value of the lease liabilities. In the current year,
a revaluation movement of $1,069,000 (2020: $3,469,000), arising from the elimination of the fees charged by SIML to SPL (refer note 2.0), has been
reflected in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Capital expenditure consists of fit-outs and other physical enhancements to the investment properties, with ownership of such capital amounts being
retained by SPL.
On 30 June 2020, SPL transferred its industrial properties to Industre joint venture including the transfer of industrial properties to the Industre joint
operation, for which SPL retains rights to jointly held assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses in proportion to its remaining participating interest. The
transfer resulted in a disposal of industrial properties of $228 million including property under development. Subsequent decreases in participating
interest in the Industre joint operation resulted in further disposals of $31 million during the period.
During the year three office properties were acquired by SPL, being 34 Shortland Street, Auckland ($66.4million in total being $60.7 million investment
property and $5.7 million property, plant and equipment (note 8.7)), 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington, ($84.5 million) and 20 Customhouse Quay, Wellington,
($228 million).
3.2 Investment properties (continued)
Valuations are performed by independent registered valuers who hold an annual practising certificate with the Valuers Registration Board and are
members of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers. Valuers are engaged on terms ensuring that no valuer values the same investment property for more than
three consecutive years. All valuations are dated effective 31 March 2021.
At each reporting date, SIML’s asset managers verify all major inputs to the independent valuation report and assess property valuation movements when
compared to the prior year valuation report. SIML’s executive team review the valuations performed by the independent valuers for financial reporting
purposes. This team reports directly to SIML’s Chief Executive Officer. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between members of
SIML’s executive team and the independent valuers. Discussions of valuation processes and results are also held between SIML’s Chief Executive Officer
and Audit and Risk Committee, at least once every six months, in line with SPL’s reporting dates. This review includes a review of specific independent
valuations and discussions with the independent valuers as considered necessary. Ultimately, SPL’s directors are responsible for reviewing and approving
the investment property valuations.
Investment property measurements are categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. During the year there were no transfers of investment properties
between levels of the fair value hierarchy (2020: nil transfers).
The following tables provide a summary of the valuation of the individual investment properties, their net lettable area, market capitalisation rate (cap rate),
contract yield, occupancy and weighted average lease term (WALT) for the purpose of providing further detail of the assets which are considered to be the
most relevant to the operations of SPL.

The estimated sensitivity of the fair value of the total investment property portfolio to changes in the market capitalisation rate or discount rate, assuming
the capitalisation rate or discount rate moved equally on all the properties is provided below. The metrics chosen are those where movements are likely to
have the most significant impact on fair value. In the prior year, due to the independent valuations of SPL's portfolio being reported on the basis of 'material
valuation uncertainty', SPL increased the range in the sensitivities (shown as ‘N/A’ in the current year).

A valuation is determined based on a range of unobservable inputs. They are unobservable as they are not freely available or explicit in the market and
are developed by analysing transactional data. Key unobservable inputs are the capitalisation rate, discount rate, gross market rent, rental growth rates
and terminal yield. The following table details the key unobservable inputs and the ranges adopted across the various investment property classes by

The key inputs used to measure fair value of investment properties, along with their sensitivity to significant increase or decrease, are stated below:
Fair value measurement

Cap rateThe capitalisation rate is applied to the market rental to
assess an investment property’s value. The capitalisation
rate is derived from detailed analysis of factors such as
comparable sales evidence and leasing transactions in
the open market, taking into account location, tenant
covenant – lease term and conditions, WALT, size and
quality of the investment property.
DecreaseIncreaseIncome

Discount rateThe discount rate is applied to future cash flows of
an investment property to provide a net present value

rates of return for alternative investments and apparent
risk.

Generally, a change in the assumption made for the adopted capitalisation rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the adopted discount
rate. It may also result in an adjustment to the terminal yield.
When calculating fair value using the Income Capitalisation approach, the gross market rent has a strong interrelationship with the adopted capitalisation
rate, given the methodology involves assessing the total gross market income receivable from the investment property and capitalising this in perpetuity to
derive a capital value. In theory, an increase in the gross market rent and an increase (softening) in the adopted capitalisation rate could potentially offset
the impact to the fair value. A decrease in the gross market rent and a decrease (tightening) in the adopted capitalisation rate could also potentially offset
the impact to fair value. A directionally opposite change in the gross market rent and the adopted capitalisation rate could potentially magnify the impact on
the fair value.
When assessing a discounted cash flow, the adopted discount rate and adopted terminal yield have a strong interrelationship in deriving a fair value, given
the discount rate will determine the rate in which the terminal value is discounted to the present value.
An increase (softening) in the adopted discount rate and a decrease (tightening) in the adopted terminal yield could potentially offset the impact to the fair
value. A decrease (tightening) in the discount rate and an increase (softening) in the adopted terminal yield could also potentially offset the impact to fair
value. A directionally similar change in the adopted discount rate and the adopted terminal yield could potentially magnify the impact to the fair value.
3.2 Investment properties (continued)
Valuation techniques used:
• Income Capitalisation approach - is based on the current contract and market income and an appropriate market yield or return for the
particular investment property. Adjustments are then made to the value to reflect under or over renting, pending capital expenditure, and
upcoming expiries, including allowance for lessee incentives and leasing expenses.
• Discounted Cash Flow approach - adopts a ten-year investment horizon and makes appropriate allowances for rental income growth and
leasing expenses on expiries, with an estimated terminal value at the end of the investment period. The terminal yield is used to derive the terminal
value. Terminal yield rate estimates are based on comparable transaction data and also consider matters such as building age and the market
environment at the end of the investment period (10 years). The present value reflects the market-based income and expenditure projections,
discounted at a rate of return referred to as a discount rate. In selecting the discount rate, many factors are considered, including the degree of
apparent risk, market attitudes toward future inflation, the prospective rates of return for alternative investments and the rates of return earned by
comparable properties in the past.
In deriving a market value under each approach, all assumptions are based, where possible, on market-based evidence and transactions for properties
with similar locations, construction detail and quality of lessee covenant. The adopted market value is a combination of both the Income Capitalisation
and the Discounted Cash Flow approaches.
In the current year the property at 22 The Terrace, Wellington, has been fair valued by calculating what the property is expected to be worth on
completion of the seismic and building upgrade works of the property and deducting all expected costs to complete the development, being the
Residual Approach. In the prior year, the property at 11 Selwood Road, Auckland, was being developed for Waste Management and was also fair
valued under the Residual Approach.

3.3 Lease liabilities
Accounting policy
Stride leases, as lessee, various property under non-cancellable operating lease agreements. At the inception of a contract, Stride assesses whether
a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period
of time in exchange for consideration.
Lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of the fixed and variable lease payments, less any cash lease incentives receivable. Each
lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the Statement of Comprehensive Income over the
lease period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case
for leases in Stride, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds
necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
SIML has an operating lease for its head office where SIML is the lessee. SIML has recognised a right-of-use asset within property, plant and equipment
and a corresponding lease liability within interest bearing liabilities in relation to this lease. The right-of-use asset is depreciated over the term of the lease.
The total lease liability at 31 March 2021 is $37,000 (2020: $625,000). A 5.13% discount rate was applied for property, plant and equipment, being the
estimated incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities as at 1 April 2019. This lease and right-of-use asset is eliminated in these
financial statements .
SPL is committed under three operating leases where SPL is the lessee. There is one at each of the following properties:
• NorthWest Shopping Centre, Auckland;
• 7 - 9 Fanshawe Street, Auckland; and
• 55 Lady Elizabeth Lane, Wellington (previously known as 33 Customhouse Quay, Wellington).
The SPL leases relate to ground rent on leasehold properties and contain renewal and termination options exercisable only by SPL.
The liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the rate as specified in the lease for investment property
being 6.25% for NorthWest Shopping Centre, Auckland, and 7.00% for 7-9 Fanshawe Street, Auckland. The lease term is reassessed if an option is

significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.
Included in the 31 March 2021 balance of investment property at valuation, is an implicit right-of-use asset of $23,490,000 (2020: $22,670,000) in
relation to a peppercorn ground lease at 55 Lady Elizabeth Lane, Wellington, with an associated immaterial lease liability.
The total lease liabilities amount of $27,417,000 is in respect of the two investment properties with ground leases at 31 March 2021

This section sets out Stride’s earnings per share and how distributable profit is calculated. Distributable profit is a non-NZ GAAP
measurement and is used by Stride to calculate profit available for distribution to shareholders by way of dividends.
4.1 Basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS)
Accounting policy
Basic and diluted earnings per share amounts are calculated by dividing profit after income tax attributable to shareholders by the weighted average
number of shares on issue.

Profit after income tax attributable to shareholders is higher in 2021 than 2020 by $132.0 million mainly due to:
• higher net valuation movement of $60.9 million across the portfolios;
• higher share of profit in equity-accounted investments of $58.8 million primarily due to revaluation gains; and
• higher management fees of $6.8 million due to growth in assets under management and performance fees.

4.2 Distributable profit
Accounting policy
Stride’s dividend policy as at 31 March 2021 is to target a cash dividend to shareholders that is between 80% and 100% of its distributable profit.
Distributable profit is presented to enable investors to see an earnings measure which more closely aligns to Stride’s underlying and recurring
earnings from its operations. Distributable profit is a non-NZ GAAP measure and consists of profit/(loss) before income tax, adjusted for determined
non-recurring and/or non-cash items, share of profits in equity-accounted investments, dividends received from equity-accounted investments and
current tax.
Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) is also a non-NZ GAAP measure and is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance.
Although there is no standard meaning or measure per GAAP, AFFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property Council
of Australia. Cash spent during the period on capital expenditure as part of maintaining a building’s grade/quality, but not expensed as part of
distributable profit after current income tax, is adjusted to enable the investors to see the cash generating ability of the business.

Stride's capital structure includes debt and equity, comprising shares and retained earnings as shown in the consolidated statement
of financial position. This section sets out how Stride manages its capital structure, funding exposure to interest rate risk and related
financing costs.
5.1 Borrowings
Accounting policy
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless SPL has an
unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

Effective from 24 April 2020, SPL refinanced $135 million of debt for a further three years to 30 June 2024. SPL reduced its total available facilities post
the settlement of the disposal of the three large format retail properties to Investore and the settlement of Industre to $305 million.
Key changes to SPL’s facility agreement, which took effect from the completion of Industre, are as follows:
• the entities involved in Industre, and their properties, fall outside the guaranteeing group for the SPL facility; and
• margins and line fees vary depending on the mix of assets held by SPL. Lower margins and fees will apply where SPL’s asset and tenant mix is
sufficiently diversified to allow improved capital treatment from its lenders’ perspective.
Effective from 20 November 2020, SPL entered into a new $100 million, three year facility which was further increased to $150 million effective from
19 February 2021.
SPL’s bank borrowings are via syndicated senior secured facilities with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (ANZ), Commonwealth Bank of Australia (New
Zealand Branch), Westpac New Zealand Limited, China Construction Bank Corporation (New Zealand Branch), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China
Limited, Auckland Branch, MUFG Bank Limited (Auckland Branch), and The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, incorporated in
the Hong Kong SAR, acting through its New Zealand Branch. The bank security on the facilities is managed through a security agent who holds a first
registered mortgage on all the investment properties directly owned by SPL and a registered first ranking security interest under a General Security Deed
over substantially all the assets of SPL.
SIML does not have any bank borrowings (2020: nil) however, it does have a $3 million overdraft facility with ANZ (2020: $3 million), which has not been
utilised during the current year.

5.0 Capital Structure and Funding (continued)
5.2 Derivative financial instruments
Accounting policy
Interest rate derivatives (derivative financial instruments) are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and
are subsequently measured at their fair value at each reporting date. Fair value of over-the-counter derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, is
determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to
ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument.
Hedge ineffectiveness for interest rate swaps may occur due to:
• the credit value/debit value adjustment on the interest rate swaps which is not matched by the loan; and
• differences in critical terms between the interest rate swaps and loans.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the cash flow
hedge reserve within equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss, within the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income.
When a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is
recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss.

Following the disposal of the three large format retail properties to Investore and the settlement of Industre:
• interest rate derivative contracts with a notional value of $120 million were terminated on 30 June 2020 for a cost of $9,293,000. Of the total swap
termination costs incurred, $1,075,000 (31 Mar 2020: $8,218,000) ($419,000 from continuing operations and $656,000 from discontinued
operations (refer note 7.4)) has been recognised as hedge ineffectiveness in the current year.
• $1,380,000 has been expensed to finance expense - swap termination expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. This
expense relates to swap termination costs recognised in equity as other reserves as at 31 March 2020 in relation to interest rate derivative contracts
that had a notional value of $100 million, that were terminated in April 2018 for a cost of $4,058,000 which was being amortised to finance expense
over the remaining life of the interest rate derivative contract. The $1,380,000 has been expensed in the current year as the hedged future cash
flows are no longer expected to occur.
SPL typically designates its interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges of the interest flows on its variable rate borrowings. SPL enters into interest
rate swaps that have similar critical terms as the hedged item, such as reference rate, reset dates, payment dates, maturities and notional amount. SPL
has not hedged 100% of its floating rate borrowings, therefore the hedged item is identified as a proportion of the outstanding loans up to the notional
amount of the swaps.
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 20219091
5.0 Capital Structure and Funding (continued)
5.2 Derivative financial instruments (continued)
The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined from valuations prepared by independent treasury advisors using valuation techniques classified
as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (2020: Level 2). Judgement is involved in determining the fair value by the independent treasury advisors. The fair
values are based on the present value of estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturities of each contract and the current market interest
rates as at balance date. Fair values also reflect the current creditworthiness of the derivative counterparties. The valuations were based on market rates
at 31 March 2021 of between 0.35%, for the 90-day BKBM, and 1.96%, for the 10-year swap rate (2020: 0.49% and 0.91%, respectively). There have
been no transfers between Level 1 and 2 during the respective periods. There were no changes to these valuation techniques during the reporting period.
As at 31 March 2021, the fair value of the interest rate derivatives includes an accrued interest liability of $15,593 (2020: $303,205).
The following sensitivity analysis represents the change in fair value of the interest rate derivatives and shows the effect on equity if the floating interest
rates on swaps (hedged bank borrowings) had been 0.25% higher or lower, with other variables remaining constant.

5.3 Net finance expense
Accounting policy
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportional basis using the effective interest rate.
Where SPL borrows funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs capitalised are the actual
borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing, less any investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings. A qualifying asset is one
that takes six months or longer to prepare for its intended use or sale. Where SPL borrows funds generally and uses them to fund a qualifying asset,
the amount of borrowing costs capitalised is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditure on that asset. The capitalisation rate
is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made
specifically for the purpose of funding a qualifying asset.

margin cost (2020: $1,208,000 and 2.89%).
Other borrowing costs are expensed when incurred and are recognised using the effective interest rate.
5.0 Capital Structure and Funding (continued)
5.4 Share capital
Accounting policy
Shares are classified as equity when there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new
shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
There is only one class of shares, being ordinary shares, and they rank equally with each other. All issued shares are fully paid and have no par value.
SPL and SIML shares are “stapled” and jointly listed on the NZX (Stapled Securities). Each of SPL and SIML has 472,828,313 shares on issue as at
31 March 2021 (2020: 365,296,799).
Stapling of shares is a contractual and constitutional arrangement between the two Stapled Entities whereby each Stapled Entity’s equity securities are
combined with (or stapled to) the equity securities issued by the other Stapled Entity. The Stapled Entities have the same shareholders, and their shares
cannot be traded or transferred independently of one another. The Stapled Securities are traded as a single economic unit with a single quoted price.
During November and December 2020, Stride undertook an equity capital raise which resulted in total gross proceeds of $230 million, comprising
a placement for $180 million and a share purchase plan for $50 million, to partly fund the acquisitions of 215 Lambton Quay, Wellington, and
20 Customhouse Quay, Wellington. Of the total gross proceeds from the placement, $175 million was allocated to SPL and $5 million was allocated to
SIML. The total gross proceeds of $50 million from the share purchase plan was allocated to SPL.
The Boards of SPL and SIML did not issue any Stapled Securities under the SIML long term share incentive scheme during the year.

Gains and losses recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve on interest rate derivative contracts (interest rate swaps) will be reclassified in the same
period in which the hedged forecast cash flows affect profit or loss until the repayment of the bank borrowings.
5.7 Capital risk management
Stride’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard Stride’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders, and
to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Stride may adjust the amount of
dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, buy back shares, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce borrowings. As part of its capital
risk management, SPL is required to comply with covenants imposed under its banking facility. The Board regularly monitors these covenants and provides
six-monthly compliance certificates to the banks as part of this process.
Following the disposal of the three large format retail properties to Investore and the settlement of Industre, interest rate derivative contracts with a notional
value of $120 million were terminated on 30 June 2020 for a cost of $9,293,000. The banking syndicate has agreed for SPL to exclude the $9,293,000
from the interest cover ratio financial covenant.
SPL has complied with these covenants during the relevant periods.
This section sets out Stride’s exposure to financial assets and liabilities that potentially subject Stride to financial risk and how Stride
manages those risks.
Accounting policy
A financial instrument is recognised if Stride becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are de-recognised if
Stride’s contractual rights to the cash flows expire, or if Stride transfers them without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the
asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised if Stride’s obligations specified in the contract are extinguished.
Stride classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories:
• those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss); and
• those to be measured at amortised cost.

6.1 Financial assets at amortised cost
Accounting policy
Depending on the purpose for which the assets were acquired, Stride classifies its assets as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and
financial assets at amortised cost. Classification is determined at initial recognition and this designation is re-evaluated at every reporting date.
Financial assets at amortised cost are those assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included
in current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after balance date, which are classified as non-current assets.
On initial recognition of a financial asset, Stride assesses on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit loss associated with its financial assets
carried at amortised cost. At each reporting date, the credit risk on a financial asset, apart from trade and other receivables, is assessed to
determine whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk by considering both forward looking information and the financial history of
counterparties to assess the probability of default or likelihood that full settlement is not received.
6.2 Financial liabilities at amortised cost
Liabilities in this category are measured at amortised cost and include borrowings and trade and other payables.
6.0 Financial Instruments and Risk Management
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 20219495
6.0 Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)
6.3 Fair values
The carrying value of the following financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value: cash at bank, trade and other receivables, other current assets,
deposits on investment properties, trade and other payables and bank borrowings.
6.4 Financial risk management
Stride’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Stride’s overall risk management strategy focuses on
minimising the potential negative economic impact of unpredictable events on its financial performance.
Risk management is the responsibility of the Boards. The Boards identify and evaluate financial risks in close co-operation with management. The Boards
provide written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, use of
derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investing excess liquidity.
6.5 Interest rate risk
As Stride has no significant interest bearing assets, its income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
SPL's interest rate risk arises from bank borrowings (note 5.1) which are issued at variable rates and expose SPL to cash flow interest rate risk. The long
term interest rate policy provides bands that are applied on a rolling basis, which provide for both a high level of fixed interest rate cover over the near term,
as well as a lengthy period of known fixed interest rate cover for a portion of term debt. SPL manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating to
fixed interest rate derivatives which have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating to fixed rates.
As at 31 March 2021, SPL had fixed 88% of its drawn debt (2020: 50%). As SPL holds interest rate derivatives, there is a risk that their economic value
will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The value of interest rate derivatives is disclosed in note 5.2.
SPL's exposure to interest rate fluctuations is limited to the extent of all the non-hedged portions of bank borrowings which at balance date was
$31,000,000 (2020: $191,240,000). If floating interest rates were 0.25% higher or lower, with other variables remaining constant, the 12-month finance
expense would be higher or lower by $77,500 respectively (2020: $478,100).
SPL's exposure to variable interest rate risk and the weighted average interest rate for interest bearing financial assets and liabilities is as follows:

Trade and other receivables and payables are interest free and have settlement dates within one year. All other assets and liabilities are non-interest bearing.
6.0 Financial Instruments and Risk Management (continued)
6.6 Credit risk
Stride incurs credit risk from trade receivables, loan to associate and transactions with financial institutions including cash balances and interest rate
derivatives. Stride is not exposed to any concentrations of credit risk apart from the loan to associate and the accrued income receivable from AP SG 17
Pte. Limited.
The risk associated with trade receivables is managed with a credit policy which includes performing credit evaluations on all customers requiring credit
and ensures that only those customers with appropriate credit histories are provided with credit. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an
ongoing basis, with the result that Stride's exposure to bad debts is not significant.
As SPL has a wide spread of tenants over different industry sectors, it is not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk.
The risk from financial institutions is managed by placing cash and deposits with high credit quality financial institutions only. Stride has placed its cash and
deposits with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited and Westpac New Zealand Limited, both AA- rated (Standard & Poor’s).
With respect to the credit risk arising from interest rate swap agreements, there is limited risk as all counterparties are registered banks in New Zealand
whose credit ratings are all AA- (Standard & Poor’s).
The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of each class of financial assets as reported in note 6.0.
6.7 Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit facilities,
and the ability to close out market positions. Stride’s liquidity position is monitored on a regular basis and is reviewed quarterly by the Boards to ensure
compliance with internal policies and banking covenants as per SPL's syndicated lending facility.
SPL generates sufficient cash flows from its operating activities to meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities and has the bank facility available
to cover potential shortfalls. Further detail about the undrawn bank facility available is given in note 5.1.
The following table outlines Stride’s liquidity profile, as at 31 March, based on contractual non-discounted cash flows.

Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 20219697
This section sets out how the equity accounted investments held by SPL are accounted for in Stride.
7.1 Industre
Industre owns and develops industrial properties for long term income producing purposes. SPL contributed all its industrial properties to Industre, as part
of the establishment of the joint venture.
Initially JPMAM committed approximately $70 million to the establishment of Industre and has additionally allocated a further $115 million of capital to
fund near term growth initiatives, subject to meeting certain investment return and approval thresholds, taking JPMAM’s total equity committed to
$185 million. Over the long term, the strategy is for JPMAM to fund further portfolio growth until the respective economic contributions to the portfolio are
75%/25% (JPMAM/SPL).
The agreement between SPL and JPMAM in relation to their co-ownership requires unanimous consent from both parties for all relevant activities. The
accounting for the arrangements by SPL is a combination of a joint operation (proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses) and joint
venture (equity accounted). SIML is the manager of the joint arrangement.
7.2 Interests in associates and joint venture
Accounting policy
Interests in associates and the joint venture are accounted for using the equity method and are stated in the consolidated statement of financial
position at cost, adjusted for the movement in SPL’s share of their net assets and liabilities. Under this method, SPL’s share of profits and losses
after tax of associates and profit and loss before tax of the joint venture are included in SPL’s profit before taxation. Adjustments to the carrying
amount are also made for SPL’s share of changes in the associates’ and the joint venture’s other comprehensive income. SPL’s accounting policy is
not to take account of the effects of transactions recorded directly in equity outside profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Under the equity method, gain or loss resulting from transfer of investment properties to associates and the joint venture in exchange for cash or
shares is recognised only to the extent of the other investors’ interest in the associates or the joint venture, however when cash and shares are
received, the portion of the gain or loss relating to cash is recognised in full.
Set out below are the associates and the joint venture of SPL as at 31 March 2021, which, in the opinion of the directors, are material to SPL.

The principal place of business for Investore, Diversified and Industre joint venture is New Zealand.
The fair value for Investore is based on the quoted market price for Investore shares on the last business day for the year ended 31 March. Diversified
does not have a quoted market price as it is an Australian Unit Trust that is not listed. Industre joint venture does not have a quoted market price as it is not listed.
7.0 Equity-accounted Investments
7.0 Equity-accounted Investments (continued)
7.2 Interests in associates and joint venture (continued)
Given the extent of SPL's equity investment as at balance date of 18.8% (2020: 19.4%), the appointment of SIML as manager, and that two of SIML's
current directors are also directors of Investore, the SPL Board has concluded that SPL has "significant influence" over Investore. As such, SPL's
investment in Investore has been treated as an interest in an associate. SPL is not subject to any escrow arrangements that prevent it from selling or
otherwise disposing of any shares that it holds. The daily average ownership interest for the year was 18.9% which has been used to recognise SPL’s share
of Investore’s profit.
Given the appointment of SIML as manager, and that one of SIML's current directors is also on Diversified's Investment Committee, the SPL Board has
concluded that SPL retains "significant influence" over Diversified. As such, SPL's investment in Diversified has been treated as an interest in an associate.
As at 31 March 2021, SPL has an interest-bearing loan receivable of $3,397,660 (2020: $3,397,660) with Diversified. This loan is due for repayment on
12 August 2026.
joint venture
Industre joint venture comprises of Industre Property Tahi Limited (Tahi), Industre Property Rua Limited (Rua) and Industre Property Finance Limited (FinCo).
Tahi and Rua hold legal and beneficial ownership of certain industrial properties. SPL has rights to the net assets of these entities, and consequently these
entities are classified as a joint venture. FinCo is a funding vehicle established to obtain bank borrowings and on-lend the funds to Tahi, Rua and Industre
joint operation, which are financial guarantors in the funding arrangement. As at 31 March 2021, the value of the financial guarantee was nil.
Tahi and Rua are eligible and have elected to be multi-rate PIEs of which the income tax liability arises to the investors. Accordingly, SPL recognises current
and deferred tax as part of its taxes in note 8.1 (rather than as part of the investment in the joint venture).
Summarised financial information for associates and joint venture
The following tables provide summarised financial information for the associates and the joint venture of SPL and reflects the amounts presented in the
financial statements of the relevant associates, not SPL’s share of those amounts. They have been amended to reflect adjustments made by Stride when
using the equity method, including fair value adjustments and modifications for differences in accounting policy.
SPL’s share of profit for Industre joint venture in 2021 relates to the period 1 July 2020 to 31 March 2021. SPL’s share in the Industre joint venture
reduced from 68.25% as at 30 June 2020 to 56.33% as at 31 March 2021 and consequently, the net share of profit has been calculated on the
weighted average participating interest during the period.
The movement between the closing carrying amount and share at carrying percentage for Industre joint venture relates to the $914,000 loss on sale of
properties in exchange for cash received from Industre joint venture.

7.3 Interest in joint arrangements
Accounting policy
Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of
each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement.
SPL holds a 50% interest in a joint arrangement with Diversified relating to the investment property at Johnsonville Shopping Centre, Wellington.
SPL holds a 56.33% interest in a joint arrangement with JPMAM relating to the investment properties as denoted in note 3.2.
Johnsonville joint operation
The agreement between SPL and Equity Trustees Limited (as trustee of Diversified) in relation to their co-ownership requires unanimous consent
from all parties for all relevant activities. The two parties have direct rights to the asset and are jointly and severally liable for the liabilities incurred in
relation to the co-owned asset. This arrangement is therefore classified as a joint operation and SPL recognises its direct right to the jointly held assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses as described below. SIML is the manager of the joint arrangement.

* This information relates to the nine month period from 1 July 2020 to 31 March 2021. SPL’s share in the Industre joint operation reduced from
68.25% as at 30 June 2020 to 56.33% as at 31 March 2021. The average ownership interest for the period has been used to recognise SPL’s net
share of the Industre joint operation’s profit.
SPL’s portion of the borrowings in the Industre joint operation are with FinCo, which is in the Industre joint venture. This loan is on the same terms as
the banking facility with FinCo, however is payable on demand if called on by FinCo. As at 31 March 2021 SPL and JPMAM, as the participants, have
agreed these borrowings will not be called by FinCo in the next 12 months, unless called on by FinCo’s banking syndicate (which is a non-current
borrowing). As such SPL’s portion of the borrowings in the Industre joint operation have been classified as non-current in the consolidated statement
of financial position.
The below fee income was earned from the Industre joint operation. It represents the participating interest held by the participant AP SG 17 Pte.
Limited. The management fees paid from SPL to SIML are eliminated in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The balance receivable
represents the participating interest held by the participant AP SG 17 Pte. Limited.

7.0 Equity-accounted Investments (continued)
7.4 Discontinued operations
Industrial investment properties were considered a major portfolio (sector) of SPL’s operations and were distinguished operationally and for financial
purposes from the other sectors. Discontinued operations refer to a core part of an entity’s operation that has been divested.
As the establishment of Industre saw SPL divest a significant portion of its industrial portfolio, this meets the definition of a discontinued operation.
Only JPMAM’s special purpose vehicle’s participating interest has been treated as discontinued in respect of the joint operation as SPL retained a
partial direct ownership interest in the properties. All of the financial performance and cash flows pertaining to the properties that are transferred to the
Industre joint venture (refer note 7.2) have been treated as discontinued.
The financial performance and cash flow information for the discontinued operations are for the period ended 30 June 2020 (2021 column) and the
year ended 31 March 2020.

Accounting policy
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes. Temporary differences include:
• tax liability arising from accumulated depreciation claimed on investment properties, where applicable;
• tax asset arising from the allowance for impairment;
• tax liability arising from certain prepayments and other assets; and
• tax asset/liability arising from the unrealised gains/losses on the revaluation of interest rate swaps.
For deferred tax liabilities or assets arising on investment property measured at fair value, it is assumed that the carrying amounts of the investment
property will be recovered through sale. Investment properties are independently valued each year and the valuation includes a split between the
land and building components. Deferred tax is provided on the depreciation claimed to date on the building component of the investment properties
and this places reliance on the valuation split provided by the valuers.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate
to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to
settle the balances on a net basis.

8.3 Remuneration (continued)
Long term incentive plan
SIML operates a long term incentive plan for its executive team that is intended to align the interests of key employees with the interests of shareholders
and provide a continuing incentive to key employees over the long term horizon. SIML receives services from the employees in exchange for the employees
receiving share based payments only if specified hurdles, relating to the performance of Stride, are achieved.
The share performance rights are measured at fair value at grant date, which is in reference to the fair value of the instruments granted rather than the fair
value of the services from the employees. The fair value is determined using the share price at grant date adjusted for expected dividends and probability of
meeting the performance hurdles. The fair value of rights granted during the year is independently determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model.
The plan provides for the selected employees to be granted rights to be issued shares for nil consideration if certain performance hurdles are met. SIML
has a number of schemes in place. The table below summarises the types of schemes and movement of the share performance rights during the year:

As at 31 Mar 21-406545951

All schemes provide granted rights to be converted into shares for nil consideration if certain performance hurdles are met. Rights under the FY19
scheme were subject to performance conditions that Total Shareholder Returns (TSR) (relative and absolute) and Distributions per Security were met
before a right would vest. With regards to the FY19 (3 year) scheme, 60% performance conditions were met and consequently 60% of the rights were
exercised and 40% lapsed.
One executive team member ceased employment during the year and consequently the rights previously granted to them were forfeited.
Rights under the FY20 and FY21 schemes are subject to the performance conditions that TSR (relative and absolute) is met before a right will vest.
The key features of the plan are as follows:
• the rights are granted for nil consideration and have a nil exercise price;
• rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights prior to vesting;
• each right that vests entitles the employee to receive one fully paid ordinary share in each of SPL and SIML. The shares issued on vesting carry full
voting and dividend rights; and
• the individual must remain an employee of SIML as at the relevant vesting date for any rights to vest.
The participating employees will be liable for the income tax cost of the award of shares and may choose to sell some or all shares to fund this cost upon
issue of the shares. The participants receive one share for every performance right that vests on a tranche date for nil consideration.
Further share performance rights under the long term incentive plan may be issued on an annual basis. However, the terms of the plan, eligible participants,
and offers of further share performance rights may be modified by the SIML Board from time to time, subject to the requirements of the NZX Listing Rules
and applicable laws.
Special share award
A special share award was granted to executives on 16 December 2020. Post balance date, the Boards of SIML and SPL resolved to issue 142,257
ordinary shares in each of them (i.e. 142,257 Stapled Securities) under a SIML special share award to executives in respect of exceptional performance in
FY21 (refer note 8.10). A further 142,257 ordinary shares in each of SIML and SPL (i.e. 142,257 Stapled Securities) will be issued post 31 March 2022 to
those individuals who remain an employee of SIML as at 31 March 2022.

8.5 Trade and other receivables
Accounting policy
Trade and other receivables are recognised at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Stride has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit loss as prescribed by NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which uses a
lifetime expected loss allowance. A loss allowance is made when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency or significant
financial difficulties of the debtor) that Stride will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice.

8.8 Investment in subsidiaries
Accounting policy
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Parent whereby the Parent has power over the investee, is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns
from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the financial statements of Stride from the date that control commences until the date that
control ceases. The subsidiaries apply the same accounting policies as Stride.
The acquisition method of accounting has been used to consolidate the subsidiaries of the Parent. All inter-group transactions and balances between
group companies have been eliminated on consolidation.
Subsidiaries of Stride Property Limited
SPL has the following subsidiaries. They are 100% owned, have a 31 March balance date, and are principally involved in the ownership of investment
properties.

statements. SIML’s equity (non-controlling interest) consists largely of retained earnings and the declared dividend represents 30% of SIML’s equity as
at 31 March 2021.
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Stride Property Group, which consists of Stride Property Limited (SPL) and
Stride Investment Management Limited (SIML) (together Stride), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Stride as at 31 March
2021, its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
What we have audited
Stride's consolidated financial statements comprise:
• the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2021;
• the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
• the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
• the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
• the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)) and International Standards on Auditing
(ISAs). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial
statements section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of Stride in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners
(including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and
the International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics
Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Our firm carries out tenancy marketing and operating expenditure audits for Stride and is performing an investigating accountant's role which will result
in the issuance of a limited assurance report. The provision of these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor of Stride.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements
of the current year. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our
opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Description of the key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of investment property
As disclosed in note 3.2, the SPL portfolio of investment properties
comprising: office, industrial, retail and development was valued at
$1,044.5 million as at 31 March 2021 (excluding lease liabilities).
Due to the subjectivity in valuing investment properties, where a small
difference in any one of the key market input assumptions, when
aggregated, could result in a material misstatement of the valuation of
investment properties and the significance of investment property to
Stride, this is a key audit matter.
The valuations were performed on behalf of SPL by independent
registered valuers (the “Valuers”).
Two approaches are generally used to determine the fair value of
an investment property: the income capitalisation method and the
discounted cash flow method to arrive at a range of valuation outcomes,
from which the valuers derive a point estimate. For SPL’s property under
development, the residual approach has been used.
For each investment property, key assumptions and estimates are made
in respect of:
• market rentals (for both the income capitalisation and discounted
cash flow method)
• the capitalisation rate (for the income capitalisation method) to
apply to market rentals
• discount rate (for the discounted cash flow method) derived from
comparable market transactions
• the rental growth rate to apply to the market rentals and the
terminal yield to assess the terminal value (for the discounted cash
flow method)
• the estimated cost to complete and the profit and risk allowances
deducted from the ‘as if complete’ valuation (for the residual
approach).
The following assumptions are also taken into account:
• vacancy assumption based on current and expected future market
conditions after expiry of any current lease
• maintenance and capital requirements including any necessary
investments to maintain functionality of a property for its expected
useful life or to address any seismic related matters.
The valuation of investment properties is inherently subjective given that
there are alternative assumptions and valuation methods that may result
in a range of values for a property.
In assessing the valuations, we performed the procedures below.
We held discussions with Stride Investment Management Limited (the
Manager) to understand:
• movements in SPL’s investment property portfolio
• changes in the condition of each property
• the controls in place over the valuation process.
On a sample basis, with particular emphasis on properties with significant
or unusual fluctuations in key inputs compared to other investment
properties held by SPL within the same sector or as compared to market
information, we read individual valuation reports and performed the
following procedures:
• obtained an understanding of the key inputs that caused the
valuation to have a significant or unusual change
• agreed the forecast contractual rental and lease terms to lease
agreements with tenants
• considered whether seismic assessments and/or capital
maintenance requirements had been taken into account in the
valuations with reference to supporting documentation, including
support from third parties.
We also analysed and considered the underlying reason for differences
outside a threshold, between the income capitalisation method value and
the discounted cash flow method value by property.
For the property under development valued using the residual approach,
we obtained evidence to support the estimated cost to complete and
assessed the reasonableness of profit and risk allowances deducted from
the ‘as if complete’ valuation.
We held separate discussions with the valuers to gain an understanding
of the assumptions and estimates used and the valuation methodology
applied. We also sought to understand and consider restrictions
imposed on the valuation process (if any) and the market conditions at
balance date.
We engaged our own in-house valuation experts to critique and
independently assess, based on our experts’ market and valuation
knowledge, the work performed, and assumptions and estimates made
by the valuers on a sample basis.
We have considered the adequacy of the disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements.
Description of the key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Accounting for the Industre transaction
As disclosed in notes 1.8, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 of the consolidated financial
statements, the forming of Industre Property Joint Venture (“Industre”)
was a significant event and transaction during the year. Industre is a joint
arrangement between SPL and J.P. Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM)
and commenced operations on 1 July 2020.
On commencement, SPL contributed all of its industrial properties to
Industre and held a 68.25% interest on that date.
The accounting for the arrangements by SPL is a combination of a joint
operation (‘Industre operation’) and joint venture (‘Industre joint venture’).
Given the significance of this transaction and the complexity of the
recognition and measurement principles, this is a key audit matter.
The Manager, aided by their external technical accounting expert,
was required to exercise considerable professional judgement in
determining the appropriate accounting treatment. Significant accounting
considerations included:
• whether SPL and JPMAM have joint control of the entities forming
Industre
• how to measure the loss on disposal of investment properties arising
from SPL’s transfer of the properties to Industre
• whether the investment properties acquired by Industre from SPL
constituted asset acquisitions or a business combination
• whether the disposal of the investment properties by SPL meets the
definition of discontinued operations.
We performed a detailed assessment of the accounting treatment for this
transaction with the involvement of our internal technical experts.
We:
• obtained and reviewed key contracts
• considered the independent technical accounting advice adopted
by the Manager
• assessed the accounting treatment against the relevant accounting
standards in respect of:
-SPL and JPMAM having joint control
-SPL accounting for its ongoing interest either as a joint operation
or a joint venture
-measurement of the loss on disposal of investment properties
transferred to Industre on commencement of operations;
-the disposal of the investment properties meeting the definition
of discontinued operations
-the contribution of the investment properties to Industre not
meeting the definition of a business combination and, as a result,
SPL’s equity contribution in Industre being recognised at the fair
value of the investment properties at 30 June 2020
• reviewed the accounting entries to record the disposal of the
investment properties to Industre
• agreed the key inputs used in the calculation of the loss on disposal
of the investment properties to relevant documents
• considered the adequacy of the disclosures in the consolidated
financial statements.

Our audit approach
Overview
Overall materiality: $2.0 million, which represents approximately 5% of profit before
tax from continuing operations excluding valuation movements relating to investment
properties (including Stride’s share of profit in equity-accounted investments arising from
valuation movements of investment properties).
We chose profit before tax excluding valuation movements relating to investment
properties as the benchmark because, in our view, it is the benchmark against which the
performance of Stride is most commonly measured by users, and is a generally accepted
benchmark.
We agreed with the Audit and Risk Committee that we would report to them misstatements
identified during our audit above $100,000, which represents approximately 5% of our
overall materiality, as well as misstatements below that amount that, in our view, warranted
reporting for qualitative reasons.
We selected transactions and balances to audit based on their materiality to Stride rather
than determining the scope of procedures to perform by auditing only specific subsidiaries
or entities.
As reported above, we have two key audit matters, being:
• Valuation of investment property
• Accounting for the Industre transaction
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In
particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved
making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management
override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material
misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material
if, individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated
financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall materiality for the
consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out above. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of
our audit, the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate, on the
consolidated financial statements as a whole.
How we tailored our audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a
whole, taking into account the structure of Stride, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which Stride operates.
The scope of our audit and the nature, timing and extent of audit procedures performed were determined by our risk assessment, the financial
significance of components and other qualitative factors (including history of misstatement through fraud or error).

Other information
The Directors of SPL and SIML respectively are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the
Annual Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit opinion or
assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider
whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit, or
otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of
this auditor’s report, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to
report in this regard.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial statements
The Directors of SPL and SIML respectively are responsible, on behalf of Stride, for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors of SPL and SIML respectively are responsible for assessing Stride’s ability to continue as
a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Directors either
intend to liquidate SPL or SIML or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements, as a whole, are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a
guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (NZ) and ISAs will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can
arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic
decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

The Stride Investment Management
Limited (SIML) and Stride Property
Limited (SPL) Boards believe that strong
corporate governance is an essential
foundation for a sustainable and
successful business.
This section of the Annual Report
provides an overview of the corporate
governance policies and practices
adopted and followed by the Boards
of Directors of SPL and SIML. This
statement is current as at 1 May 2021.
Overview of Stride and its Governance Framework
SPL and SIML are both companies incorporated in
New Zealand under the Companies Act. SPL and SIML are
‘Stapled Entities’, with the ordinary shares of SPL and SIML
stapled together and quoted on the Main Board equity
securities market of NZX under a single ticker code ‘SPG’.
This means that one share of SIML and one share of SPL
must be traded together as a single parcel. SPL and SIML
are together referred to as “Stride Property Group”
or “Stride”.
Stride has a ‘non-standard’ (NS) designation due to its
stapled structure. The waivers from the Listing Rules that
have been granted by NZX to give effect to that stapled
structure are described on pages 153 and 154. The
implications of investing in the stapled securities of SPL and
SIML are described on page 155.
The Stride Boards are committed to the highest standards
of business behaviour and accountability, and regularly
review and assess Stride’s governance structures and
processes to ensure these are consistent with best
practice standards.
This section of the Annual Report provides an overview of
Stride’s corporate governance framework and includes
commentary on compliance by Stride with each of the eight
corporate governance principles and recommendations of
the NZX Code for the year ended 31 March 2021, together
with other legal and regulatory disclosures.
For the reporting period, Stride considers that its corporate
governance practices are materially consistent with the
NZX Code, with the exception that no Remuneration
Committee or Nominations Committee was established for
the financial year ended 31 March 2021 as the functions
that would have been performed by these committees were
undertaken by the Stride Boards as a whole. However,
the Boards have now established a Remuneration and
Nomination Committee.
Stride’s governance framework is set out in Diagram 1.

Directors should set high standards of
ethical behaviour, model this behaviour
and hold management accountable
for these standards being followed
throughout the organisation.
The Stride Boards set high standards of ethical behaviour
which inform the overall corporate governance practices of
SPL and SIML. Stride and the Stride Boards adopt an ethics-
based approach to their operations and decision-making.
There are four key behaviours that guide Stride’s business
operations and differentiate Stride from other organisations:
These behaviours are displayed on the walls of
Stride’s head office and guide Stride employees
in their daily business and decision-making. Stride
celebrates employees who demonstrate these
behaviours through regular “In Stride” awards at
company-wide meetings. All employees are able to
nominate their colleagues for an “In Stride” award,
with the awards decided by the SIML executive team.
This encourages employees to think about how they
demonstrate these behaviours and ensure that these
behaviours guide them in their day-to-day work.
Code of Ethics
To support and reinforce the Stride behaviours, Stride
has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets the standard
expected by the Stride Boards and the employees of
SIML when conducting Stride’s business.
The Code of Ethics sets the following standards for
directors and employees:
Act with honesty, integrity and fairness, and
demonstrate respect for others
Adhere to all legal and compliance obligations
Protect Stride’s assets and resources,
including its confidential or sensitive
information, and ensure this protection
extends to the Stride Products
Make every effort to protect the reputation
and brand of SPL and SIML and avoid a
conflict between an individual’s private
activities and the business activities of Stride
The Code of Ethics is supported by other policies,
including the Stride Conflicts Policy, Protected
Disclosures Policy, Securities Trading Policy and
Market Disclosure Policy (which is described in the
commentary related to Principle 4).
Conflicts Policy
Stride takes a conservative approach to conflicts of
interest, given the role of SIML as manager of SPL and
the Stride Products - Investore, Diversified and Industre.
The principles that govern the management of conflicts
of interest are addressed in a number of governance
documents, including the Constitution of each of SPL and
SIML, the Stride Boards’ charter, the Code of Ethics, and
other internal policies.
The Boards have adopted a Conflicts Policy which guides
Directors and SIML employees when a conflict of interest
may arise and sets out procedures for managing conflicts of
interest. The purpose of the Conflicts Policy is to protect the
integrity of decision-making within SPL and SIML, as well as
the Stride Products, the reputation of each of those entities,
those who work within them, and those who own them.
As part of the Conflicts Policy, SIML has adopted an
Acquisition and Leasing Protocol which assists SIML
management and employees in making decisions in the
event of any conflict between the interests of the portfolios
managed by SIML. All transactions in which SIML has, or
may be perceived to have, a conflict of interest (which can
include personal, related party and fund conflicts) will be
conducted in accordance with the Conflicts Policy and
established protocols. SIML’s conflicts manager, who is the
Company Secretary of SIML, oversees the application of the
Conflicts Policy and reports to the SIML Board to ensure
that all conflicts are managed in an appropriate manner.
SIML considers conflict of interest issues on a transaction-
by-transaction basis and will employ specific and additional
procedures for specific transactions as appropriate.
Protected Disclosures Policy
Stride has a Protected Disclosures Policy which provides a
safe process for employees to make an allegation of serious
wrongdoing within Stride.
The following procedure is specified in the policy for
employees to report wrongdoing:
• The wrongdoing is reported to the Disclosure Officer
(the Company Secretary), or where the employee
believes the Disclosure Officer is or may be involved in
the wrongdoing or where it is inappropriate to make the
disclosure to the Disclosure Officer due to the nature
of the information, the information may be reported
NZX Principle 1:
Code of Ethical Behaviour
to the Chief Executive Officer of SIML or a Director of
SPL or SIML, or to an appropriate authority such as the
Police or Serious Fraud Office where appropriate.
• The employee should specify that he or she believes
on reasonable grounds that the information is true,
that he or she wishes to disclose the information so
that the wrongdoing can be investigated, and that he
or she wishes the disclosure to be protected in terms
of the policy.
All reports of wrongdoing will be investigated within
20 working days of the disclosure being made and the
findings of the report will be communicated to the disclosing
employee. The identity of the disclosing employee will be
kept confidential, except with the consent of the disclosing
employee or where required for the investigation.
Securities Trading Policy
The Boards have adopted a Securities Trading Policy which
governs trading in Stride securities by Stride Directors
and SIML employees. The Securities Trading Policy raises
awareness about the insider trading provisions within
the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMCA) and
reinforces those requirements with additional internal
compliance requirements.
Stride Directors and employees of SIML who wish to
trade in stapled securities of Stride must comply with
the Securities Trading Policy, which sets limited trading
windows and requires all persons to whom the policy
applies to obtain approval prior to trading. Speculative
trading is not permitted, and Directors and employees are
required to hold stapled securities for a minimum of six
months, except in exceptional circumstances and with the
prior approval of the Company Secretary.
People centred
The success of every place we are involved with ultimately
depends on satisfying the wants and needs of people.
At Stride we imagine ourselves in our tenants’
shoes and create the environment they will enjoy
and prosper in.
Discipline driven
Stride people go to great lengths to do the basics of our
business incredibly well. That means getting all the details
right and having a rigorous process to evaluate
every opportunity. We astutely navigate risk,
managing downside and seizing opportunities.
Fresh thinkers
Stride people are at the forefront of new thinking on
capturing the optimum value for people from
properties. Our feet are firmly on the ground while
our heads continuously scan new horizons for
better ways of doing things.
Nimble performers
Our flat, tight structure and our size allow Stride
and our people to be highly responsive to
changing conditions and make fast decisions.
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 2021122123
To ensure an effective board, there should
be a balance of independence, skills,
knowledge, experience and perspectives.
The Role of the Stride Boards
The SPL Board and the SIML Board are each responsible
for overseeing the effective management and operation of
SPL and SIML respectively. The Boards’ role is to represent
the interests of Stride’s shareholders and ensure that the
operations of Stride are managed so as to achieve Stride’s
strategy and business objectives, within a framework of
regulatory and ethical compliance. The Stride Boards have
adopted a Board charter which sets out the Boards’ roles
and responsibilities. This charter is available on Stride’s
website. The Boards’ charter notes that the Board of SPL
has appointed SIML as its manager, and the Board of SIML
has delegated authority to the Chief Executive Officer of
SIML for the operations and administration of Stride, in
accordance with the Delegations of Authority.
Directors review the Boards’ charter annually, to ensure
it remains consistent with the Boards’ objectives and
responsibilities. A summary of the principal responsibilities
of the Boards and management and how they interact is set
out in Diagram 2.
The Composition of the Boards and
Director Appointment
The Constitution of each of SPL and SIML and the Boards’
charter set out the parameters for the composition of each
Board, which at all times will be identical due to the ‘Stapled
Entity’ structure. The parameters for the composition of the
Boards are as follows:
• A minimum of three Directors
• A maximum of eight Directors
• At least two of the Directors will be Independent
Directors (as defined in the Listing Rules) and ordinarily
resident in New Zealand
The Boards’ charter also requires that the Boards
should comprise:
Directors with an appropriate range of
skills and experience
Directors who have a proper understanding of, and
skill set to deal with, current and emerging issues
of the business
Directors who can effectively review and challenge
the performance of SIML management and
exercise independent judgement
NZX Principle 2:
Board Composition and
Performance
All of the SPL and SIML Directors are considered to be
‘Independent Directors’ under the Listing Rules, which
in summary means that they are free of any business or
other relationship that could reasonably influence, or
could reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material
way, the Director’s capacity to bring an independent
view to decisions in relation to Stride, act in the best
interests of Stride, and represent the interests of Stride’s
shareholders generally.
The Boards have reviewed the status of each of the
Directors and, taking into account the waiver granted
by NZX Regulation in relation to the independence of
Directors that is summarised on page 153, confirm that,
as at the date of the release of this Annual Report and
after considering the relevant factors set out in the NZX
Code, all Directors are independent. An overview of each
of the Directors of SPL and SIML, their status and date
of appointment is set out on pages 14 and 15, with their
attendance at meetings set out on page 134.
In determining that all SPL and SIML Directors are
‘Independent Directors’, careful consideration has been
given to the factors set out in the NZX Code:
• None of the Directors have been employed in an
executive role by Stride;
• None of the Directors currently or within the last
12 months have held a senior role in a provider of
material professional services to Stride or any of its
subsidiaries;
• None of the Directors currently or within the last
three years have had a material business relationship
or material contractual relationship (other than as a
director) with Stride;
• None of the Directors are substantial product holders
of Stride or have any association with a substantial
product holder of Stride;
• None of the Directors have close family ties with any of
the persons listed above;
• None of the Directors have been directors of Stride for
a length of time that may compromise independence.

Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 2021124125
Directors Tim Storey and John Harvey have been directors
of SPL since 2009. The Board has considered this
length of tenure and does not consider that it prejudices
the independence of either Director Tim Storey or John
Harvey, given their governance experience and approach
to Board duties.
The Stride Company Secretary is an employee of SIML
and reports directly to the Chief Executive Officer, and
accordingly participates in the SIML long-term incentive
scheme for senior employees. The Company Secretary
has a legal background and understands the need to
apply impartiality in the role, including the need to ensure
appropriate Board oversight of the business of SPL and
SIML. The Company Secretary has direct access to the
Board Chair and the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee
where needed.
Independence of Board Chair
The Chair of the Boards is Tim Storey, an independent
Director. The Chief Executive Officer of SIML is Philip
Littlewood, and accordingly there is separation between the
Chair and the Chief Executive Officer.
Appointment of Directors
Potential candidates for appointment as a Director are
nominated by the SIML Board (prior to the establishment
of the Stride Remuneration and Nomination Committee
in 2021) or a SIML shareholder, and are voted on by the
shareholders of SIML. Under SPL’s Constitution, persons
who are appointed as Directors of SIML are automatically
appointed as Directors of SPL.
The Boards may appoint Directors to fill a casual vacancy,
but where a Director is appointed to fill a casual vacancy, the
Director is required to retire and stand for election at the first
Annual Shareholder Meeting after his or her appointment.
To be eligible for selection, candidates must demonstrate
the appropriate qualities and experience for the role of
Director and will be selected on a range of factors, including
property industry knowledge, business acumen, financial
markets, and governance experience. Other factors include
background, professional expertise, and qualifications,
measured against the Boards’ assessment of its overall
skills and needs at the time and having regard to the
strategy of Stride.
Before appointing a new director, the Boards undertake
appropriate pre-appointment checks, including background
checks on education, employment experience, criminal
history, and bankruptcy. No new directors were appointed
to the Boards during FY21.
All new Directors are appointed by way of a formal letter of
appointment setting out the key terms and conditions of
their appointment, including expected time commitment,
remuneration entitlements, and indemnity and insurance
arrangements. New Directors are provided with an
induction pack containing key governance information,
policies and charters, and relevant information necessary
to prepare new Directors for their role. New Directors also
meet each of the key members of management of SIML
as part of an induction programme, designed to provide
new Directors with an overview of Stride, its strategy and
operations, and the markets in which it operates.
Directors’ Skills and Experience
The Boards include Directors who collectively have a
mix of skills, knowledge, experience, and diversity that
enhance the Boards’ operations and assist the Boards
to meet their responsibilities. A balance is maintained
between long serving Directors with experience and
knowledge of the property sector and Stride’s history, and
new Directors who bring fresh perspective and insight. Set
out in Diagram 3 is a summary of the skills and experience
among Directors of the Boards. Individual Director profiles
are set out on the Stride website and on pages 14 and 15
of this Annual Report.

Professional Development, Training and
Independent Advice
The Boards understand the importance of ensuring they
remain current in the knowledge and skills required to
be a Director of SPL and SIML, particularly focussed
on knowledge specific to the property industry, funds
management business, macroeconomic factors and new
regulatory and governance practices, all of which may
impact on Stride’s business and operations. Director
development and education includes briefings from senior
SIML managers and industry experts, and attendance
at conferences. Directors also have access to external
education and professional development training at
Stride’s expense.
Directors are entitled to access such information and
to seek such independent advice as they individually or
collectively consider necessary to fulfil their responsibilities
and permit independent judgement in decision-making.
Boards’ Review
The Boards undertake an annual evaluation of their
performance. In FY21 the Boards undertook a formal
review and evaluation process, facilitated by an external
governance expert. The review focussed on the
effectiveness of the entire Boards, including the leadership
of the Chair and the contribution of individual Directors,
the role of senior management, the dynamics among the
Boards and executives, as well as all Board processes,
structures and activities. The review also revisited the
recommendations provided during the FY20 Board review
to determine how well these have been implemented and
whether improvements are required. The review comprised
interviews and surveys, eliciting the perspectives of Board
members and senior executives.
The recommendations have been reviewed by the Boards
as a whole and are being implemented. One of the
recommendations regarded structure and function of Board
committees, following which the Boards have established
the Remuneration and Nomination Committee. The
recommendations will assist the Boards in their ongoing
development and in the effective functioning of the Boards.
Diversity
The Stride Boards recognise that different perspectives
contribute to a more successful business, and that different
perspectives are often the result of diversity. Stride is
committed to promoting diversity on the SPL and SIML
Boards and SIML, which is the employing entity of Stride, is
committed to promoting diversity within the workplace by
attracting, recruiting, developing, promoting and retaining
the best employees from a diverse pool of individuals. The
Stride Boards acknowledge and value the role that diversity
plays in strengthening Stride and its performance.
Stride has adopted a Diversity Policy which sets out its
commitment to diversity within the organisation. Stride
considers that diversity and inclusion embodies a wide
range of individual attributes, including gender and
ethnicity, age, national origin, sexual orientation, disability
and religious belief.
Stride’s Diversity Policy embraces four key principles:
Merit - Individuals are evaluated based on their
individual skills, performance and capabilities
Fairness & Equality - Stride does not tolerate any
discrimination or harassment in the workplace
of any kind, including, but not limited to, in
recruitment, promotion and remuneration
Promotion of Diverse Ideas - Stride values diversity
in skills, backgrounds, and ideas which come from
a diverse workforce
Culture - Stride believes that diversity is a strong
contributor to a rich workplace culture, where
individuals are free to be themselves and thrive
within Stride
Stride has conducted its annual assessment of its diversity
objectives for FY21 and its progress towards achieving
these objectives. Stride believes that a focus on diversity
and inclusion is an ongoing endeavour and will be a
constant consideration and focus for the Stride Boards.

Improve representation of
women in the Executive and
Leadership Team
As at 31 March 2021, there was one vacancy on the Executive team, being
the General Manager Investment. Accordingly, at 31 March 2021, the gender
split for the executive team was:
Male
71%
Female
29%
(FY20: 75% Male / 25% Female).
Subsequent to balance date the General Manager Investment role has been
filled by a male, following which the gender split in the executive team has
returned to 75% male and 25% female.
The leadership gender split is more balanced:
Male
56%
Female
44%
(FY20: 29% Male / 71% Female)
It is Stride’s policy that all executive and leadership recruitment will include at
least one female in the shortlist wherever possible.
In addition to external recruitment, Stride also values internal recruitment
highly, and during FY21 there were two internal promotions, both of which
were females.
Stride believes that diversity
is an essential component of
a successful business and
acknowledges and values

Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 2021128129
During FY21, Stride has advanced its diversity
practices through:
• Participation in the Property Council New Zealand
Diversity and Inclusion Survey 2020. Stride is a
founding partner sponsor to the Property Council
New Zealand Diversity and Inclusion initiative, which
has been established to promote diversity across the
property industry.
• Becoming a Diversity Works member and completing
the Diversity and Inclusion Stocktake in order to
benchmark Stride’s diversity and inclusion position
against other New Zealand companies. Stride intends
to continue to work with Diversity Works during FY22
to advance its diversity and inclusion practices to
ensure they are best practice and support current and
future employees.

* Officer is defined in Listing Rule 3.8.1(c) to mean a person, however designated, who is concerned or takes part in the management of the issuer’s
business and reports directly to the Board or a person who reports to the Board. Stride considers the executive team of SIML, which consists of the
Chief Executive Officer (who reports directly to the Board) plus his direct reports to comprise the Officers of SIML.
• Stride revised and improved its flexible work policy to
encourage employees to work from home if and when
they need to. Stride’s policy is that employees should
be in the office more than they are not, and everyone
should work in the office on Mondays and Fridays
in order to promote the Stride culture and enhance
collaboration. Outside of that, employees can choose
to work from home as it suits them. This supports those
employees who have dependents at home, particularly
when they are unwell.
The board should use committees
where this will enhance its effectiveness
in key areas, while still retaining board
responsibility.
Committees play an important role in Stride’s governance
framework, allowing a subset of the Boards to focus on a
particular area of importance for the Stride Boards, while
still ensuring the Boards as a whole remain responsible for
decision-making.
The Stride Boards have established an Audit and Risk
Committee to assist in the exercise of the Boards’ financial
oversight and risk functions. In addition, during FY21 the
Boards established a permanent Sustainability Committee,
which assists with progressing the sustainability objectives
of the Boards across SPL and SIML. Following balance
date the Boards have also established a Remuneration and
Nomination Committee. Prior to this, these functions were
undertaken by the Boards as a whole.
In addition, the Boards appoint other committees from time
to time as necessary to deal with projects relating to Stride’s
activities. During FY21, a Due Diligence Committee was
established to oversee planning and preparation for the
equity capital raising undertaken during November and
December 2020.
The purpose of the Due Diligence Committee was to
ensure that Stride met its legal obligations in relation to
the equity capital raise. The members of the Due Diligence
Committee comprised a subset of the Boards, together with
representatives of SIML management and advisers.
Audit and Risk Committee
Stride’s Audit and Risk Committee operates under a written
charter, which is reviewed annually by the Committee to
ensure that it remains appropriate and current. The charter
requires that the Audit and Risk Committee be comprised
solely of non-executive Directors, have at least three
members, with the majority of members being Independent
Directors. The Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee is to
be an Independent Director and may not be the Chair of the
Boards. All Committee members must be financially literate
and at least one member will have accounting or related
financial management expertise.
All Directors are members of the Audit and Risk Committee,
with Director John Harvey the Chair of the Committee.
NZX Principle 3:
Board Committees
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 2021130131
The Boards consider that the Audit and Risk Committee
has the appropriate level of financial acumen and risk
management experience necessary for the Committee to
fulfil its responsibilities. Director John Harvey was formerly
a partner at PwC, the audit firm for Stride. However, as
John Harvey retired from the PwC partnership in 2009, the
Board has determined that his prior relationship with PwC
does not prejudice the independence of the auditor.
Meetings of the Audit and Risk Committee are held at
least twice a year, and are generally held four times per
year, having regard to Stride’s reporting and audit cycle.
Additional meetings are held at the discretion of the Chair,
or if requested by any Audit and Risk Committee member,
the Chief Executive Officer of SIML or the external auditor.
The NZX Code recommends that employees should only
attend Audit and Risk Committee meetings at the invitation
of the Committee. The Chief Executive Officer and senior
management of SIML, and the external auditor, have a
standing invitation to attend Audit and Risk Committee
meetings. The Audit and Risk Committee are free to, and
do, meet separately with the external auditor, without senior
management of SIML present, to discuss audit matters.
The Audit and Risk Committee provides assistance to the
Boards in fulfilling their responsibility to investors in relation
to the reporting practices of Stride, and the quality, integrity
and transparency of the financial reports of Stride. The role
and responsibilities of the Audit and Risk Committee are
summarised in Diagram 4.

Diagram 4 – Role and Responsibilities of Audit and Risk Committee
Sustainability Committee
The Stride Sustainability Committee held its first meeting in
September 2020. The role of the Sustainability Committee
is to identify and consider all relevant environmental, social
and governance matters as they relate to the business of
Stride, and assist the Boards to integrate environmental
and social principles into the governance of the business.
The Sustainability Committee acknowledges that overall
responsibility for governance remains with the Boards.
The Sustainability Committee comprises three Board
members, being Jacqueline Cheyne (Chair of the
Committee), Tim Storey and Philip Ling. Jacqueline Cheyne
is uniquely placed to lead this committee, given her role as
Chair of the External Reporting Board Steering Committee
responsible for development of climate reporting standards,
her role as a director of New Zealand Green Investment
Finance Limited, and her experience with sustainability
matters during her time as a partner of Deloitte, where she
led the Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability Services
function for Deloitte New Zealand for nine years.
The Sustainability Committee meets at least twice a year.
Additional meetings are held at the discretion of the Chair,
or if requested by any Committee member or the Chief
Executive Officer of SIML.
The primary roles of the Sustainability Committee are set
out in Diagram 5.
Due Diligence Committee
During FY21 a temporary Board Committee was
established to oversee the equity capital raising undertaken
in November and December 2020 to partially fund
the acquisition of two Wellington office properties, at
215 Lambton Quay and 20 Customhouse Quay. Four
of the six Stride Directors formed the Due Diligence
Committee, along with members of SIML management and
representatives of Stride’s advisers.
The key function of the Due Diligence Committee was to
oversee and coordinate the due diligence process for the
equity capital raising, which comprised an institutional
placement and a retail offer.
The Due Diligence Committee was responsible for ensuring
that all material information known to Stride was disclosed
to the market and that the offer materials did not contain
any statement that was false, misleading, or deceptive
or which was unsubstantiated, and contained all of the
information required by statute and the Listing Rules. The
Due Diligence Committee also established a system of
continuing enquiry, review, and monitoring of developments
between the date of the offer materials and the allotment
of shares, to ensure no material information arose which
should be disclosed to the market during this period.

Boards and Committee Meetings and Attendance
The Boards’ charter sets out the meeting requirements and
process for each of SPL and SIML. Due to the nature of
the business of each Board, different meeting frequencies
are scheduled. The Board of SIML meets a minimum of
8 times per year and the Board of SPL a minimum of
5 times per year, with additional meetings and conference
calls scheduled as deemed necessary throughout the year
for Directors to undertake their duties. Directors attend
briefings with senior managers of SIML on an ad-hoc basis
and attend investor briefings in connection with their role
as a Director of SPL and SIML. These attendances are
not included in the disclosure in Table 2, but comprise an
important element of Stride Director responsibilities.
The Boards met more regularly during FY21 due to
the need to oversee the business given the impact of
COVID-19 and the activity undertaken by the SPL and SIML
businesses during the year, including acquisitions and the
equity capital raising in November and December 2020.
At each Board meeting, the Boards receive written reports
and presentations from SIML’s Chief Executive Officer
and senior management covering a review of operations
and financial results for the period in review, an overview
of matters for Board approval, an outline of key health,
safety and sustainability matters and, as appropriate, risk
and governance reports. The Boards regularly consider
performance against strategy, set strategic plans and
approve initiatives to meet each of SPL’s and SIML’s
strategic objectives.
The number of Board and Committee meetings held during
the year and details of Directors’ attendance at those
meetings are disclosed in Table 2.
Takeover Protocols
The Boards have adopted takeover protocols, available
on Stride’s website, which set out the procedure to be
followed in the event a takeover offer for Stride is made
or it is foreseeable that an offer may be imminent. The
protocols provide for an independent takeover committee
to be formed, comprising independent Directors of Stride,
to oversee the takeover process and ensure compliance
with Stride’s obligations under the Takeovers Code. The
protocols also govern the procedure for communications
with the bidder, and with the market and investors.

The board should demand integrity in
financial and non-financial reporting,
and in the timeliness and balance of
corporate disclosures.
Market Disclosure Policy
Stride’s Market Disclosure Policy ensures Stride meets
its obligations to keep the market informed of all material
information. Both SPL and SIML are committed to:
Ensuring that shareholders and the market are
provided with full and timely information about
their activities
Complying with the general and continuous
disclosure principles contained in statute and in
the Listing Rules
Ensuring that all market participants have equal
opportunities to receive externally available
information issued by Stride
The Market Disclosure Policy obliges all Directors of SPL
and SIML and executive officers of SIML to inform the Chief
Executive Officer of SIML or the SIML General Manager
Corporate Services (who is also the Disclosure Officer
under the Policy) of any potentially material information or
proposal immediately after the relevant person becomes
aware of that information or proposal. A Disclosure
Committee, comprising the Stride Chair and SIML’s Chief
Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and General
Manager Corporate Services, is responsible for making
decisions about what information is material information
and ensuring that appropriate disclosures are made in a
timely manner to the market.
Access to Key Governance Documents
The Boards’ charter and the charters of the standing
Committees, being the Audit and Risk Committee and
the Sustainability Committee (and, after 31 March 2021,
the Remuneration and Nomination Committee), as well as
annual and interim reports, announcements, key corporate
governance policies and other investor-related material are
available on the Stride website at www.strideproperty.co.nz.
SIML does not presently include its remuneration
policy on the Stride website, as its policy contains
commercially sensitive information pertaining to how
employees are remunerated.
NZX Principle 4:
Reporting and Disclosure
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 2021134135
Financial Reporting
Stride’s Audit and Risk Committee oversees SPL and
SIML’s financial reporting, to ensure reporting is balanced,
clear and objective. Further information on the role
and responsibilities of the Audit and Risk Committee is
contained in the commentary related to Principle 3.
Non-Financial Reporting
Risks
The Audit and Risk Committee establishes processes
to identify and consider the material business risks
faced by SPL and SIML. The Stride Boards regularly
receive risk management reports and review key risks
to the businesses of SPL and SIML, and the controls
implemented to manage exposure to those risks. All
identified risks have specific mitigation strategies where
appropriate, and SIML management regularly reviews the
effectiveness of these strategies.
Environmental Sustainability, Social Responsibility and
Corporate Governance
Stride is committed to ensuring that Environmental
Sustainability, Social Responsibility and Corporate
Governance (ESG) are key considerations in the operation
and governance of its business.
Stride believes that the key elements of a sustainable
business strategy include balancing prosperity, planet
and people, which align with Stride’s four strategic pillars
of Performance, People, Places, and Products. The
Stride Boards believe there needs to be an equal focus
and balance among each of Stride’s pillars to create a
successful and sustainable business.
During FY21, Stride refreshed its sustainability strategic
plan, which is focused on three distinct goals. This plan
sets the primary objectives that Stride considers in its
decision-making.
Stride’s Sustainability Strategic Plan

DescriptionWe want to provide leading health
and safety performance and support

We want to foster long-term
prosperity by investing in and

We want to create efficient, climate-
resilient places that deliver long term

UN Sustainable
Development Goals
Climate Risks
During FY21 Stride’s Sustainability Committee considered
the key risks, at a high level, that may be faced by Stride
in relation to climate change, and, in accordance with
the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures,
categorised those risks into two categories – transition
risks, being those associated with transitioning to a low-
carbon economy; and physical risks, being risks arising
as a result of changes in the physical climate and acute
climate events.
A summary of the high level climate change risks assessed
by the business and reported to the Stride Sustainability
Committee is set out on pages 50 and 51 of this Annual
Report. During FY22 Stride intends to undertake further
work, through the Sustainability Committee, to refine these
risks and develop a detailed and comprehensive climate
risk assessment for Stride and its managed entities.
Community Involvement
Community involvement continues to be a focus for Stride,
given its role as owner and manager of buildings within
communities. During FY21 Stride undertook a number
of initiatives aimed at developing relationships with the
local community and seeking to support community and
educational groups in the areas in which it operates.
Stride considers that this involvement was particularly
important during FY21, due to the impact of COVID-19
on our communities. Some of the key ways in which Stride
contributes to the communities in which it operates are set
out in Diagram 6, and further information can be found on
pages 54 and 55 of this Annual Report.

• Stride is a Founding Partner Sponsor to the Property Council
New Zealand Diversity and Inclusion initiative, which aims to
promote diversity in the property industry
• Stride sponsors a promising young female athlete through
the Tania Dalton Foundation. The student chosen by Stride
is located in an area that is relevant to Stride, being an area
where Stride has employees who manage a shopping centre
• All SIML managed shopping centres provide free activities

2020 school holidays when New Zealand was in Alert Level
4 lockdown, Johnsonville Shopping Centre provided a daily
Facebook live magic show to help keep children entertained
• Chartwell and Queensgate Shopping Centres support
“Dress for Success”, a charity which assists women to re-
enter the workforce, through being a collection point
for clothes
• SIML-managed shopping centres provide space for
community groups and charities, to assist them to achieve
their objectives. The organisations that benefited from this
space during FY21 included St John, Safer Plates Initiative,
Red Cross, Child Cancer Foundation, Women’s Refuge,
Breast Cancer Foundation, Heart Foundation and a number
of hospices
• Stride undertook a number of collections of donations
during FY21 for City Mission, the Salvation Army and other
charities in need, including through annual gift wrapping
services where members of the public make a donation
in return for having their gifts wrapped using resources
donated by the centres
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 2021136137
The remuneration of directors and
executives should be transparent, fair
and reasonable.
Directors’ Remuneration
Directors are remunerated in the form of Directors’ fees,
approved by shareholders, including a higher level of
fees for the Chair of the Boards and Chair of the Audit
and Risk Committee, to reflect the additional time and
responsibilities that these positions involve.
Directors are paid through a contribution from both SIML
and SPL. However, under waivers granted by NZX, there is
no requirement that Directors’ remuneration be authorised
by separate resolutions of SPL and SIML.
Directors’ remuneration was reviewed in 2019, in
accordance with the two-yearly review cycle that Stride
previously signalled to the market. The SIML Board is
conscious of its obligation to ensure Directors’ fees are
set and managed in a manner which is fair, flexible and
transparent. At the same time, the SIML Board seeks
to ensure that Directors’ fees are set at an appropriate
level to assist Stride to secure and maintain the skills and
experience at Board level necessary to govern the business
and enhance the long-term value of Stride for shareholders.
When the Board reviews Directors’ fees on a two-yearly
cycle, it obtains a report from Ernst & Young, comparing
Stride Director fees against market comparable fees given
the size, type of business and nature of the organisation.
NZX Principle 5:
Remuneration
The SIML Board has an allowance for additional work and
attendance, of $144,500 per annum. The Boards may
determine the allocation of all or part of this allowance for
additional work and attendances to remunerate Directors
for significant extra attendances and work. For the
year in review this allowance was not utilised. Directors
contributed additional time and attendance due to the
need for additional meetings during the period directly
impacted by COVID-19, and for those who formed part
of the Due Diligence Committee in relation to the equity
capital raising conducted in November and December
2020. However, Directors did not receive additional
remuneration for these attendances.
No Director of SPL or SIML is entitled to any remuneration
from Stride other than by way of Directors’ fees and the
reasonable reimbursement of travelling, accommodation
and other expenses incurred in the course of performing
duties or exercising their role as a Director. Directors do not
participate in any Stride share or option plan. No Director
of a subsidiary company of Stride (a list of subsidiary
companies and directors is set out in the Statutory
Disclosures on page 149) received any remuneration or
other benefits during the period in relation to their duties
as directors of a subsidiary company, other than the benefit
of an indemnity from each of SPL and SIML and the benefit
of insurance cover in respect of all liabilities (to the extent
permitted by law) which arise out of the performance
of their normal duties as Directors, subject to certain
exceptions such as deliberate breach of duty. Directors
have no retirement benefit and do not receive any share
options or rights or other form of remuneration.

Senior Management Remuneration
SIML is committed to a fair and reasonable remuneration framework for its executives. In determining an executive’s total
remuneration, external benchmarking is undertaken by independent remuneration advisors every two years to ensure
comparability and competitiveness, along with consideration of the individual’s performance, skills, expertise and experience.
Total executive remuneration can be made up of three components: fixed remuneration, a short-term incentive scheme and an
executive long-term share incentive scheme.
Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base salary. It is SIML’s policy to pay fixed remuneration for executives in the upper
quartile, in order to attract and retain talented people.
Short-term incentive
scheme
SIML operates a short term incentive scheme under which selected permanent, full-time employees may be eligible
to receive an incentive on an annual basis in addition to their base salary. Entitlement to the incentive is subject to pre-
agreed hurdles being met, which are aligned to Stride’s performance targets for the year.
Executive long-term
share incentive
scheme
SIML operates a long-term share incentive scheme for the executive team, intended to align the interests of key
employees with the interests of shareholders and provide a continuing incentive to key employees over the long term.
Share performance rights under the SIML long-term share incentive scheme may be issued on an annual basis at the
discretion of the Board.
The scheme provides for selected employees to be granted rights to be issued shares for nil consideration if certain
performance hurdles are met. The key features of the plan for rights awarded in FY21 are as follows:
• The rights are granted for nil consideration and have a nil exercise price
• Rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights prior to vesting
• Each right that vests entitles the employee to receive one fully paid ordinary share in SPL and SIML. The shares
issued on vesting carry full voting and dividend rights
• The individual must remain an employee of SIML at the relevant vesting date for any rights to vest
Further details of the SIML long-term share incentive scheme can be found in note 8.3 to the consolidated financial
statements.
Performance is determined over a three year vesting period, and the vesting of rights depends on certain hurdles being
met. For the rights granted during FY21, those hurdles comprised:
• Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) – 50% of rights are subject to Stride’s TSR growth performance,
relative to constituents of the NZX Property Index.
• Absolute Total Shareholder Return (TSR) – 50% of rights are subject to Stride’s absolute TSR performance
compared to certain thresholds.

KiwiSaver
All employees are eligible to contribute and receive
matching SIML contributions of up to 4% of gross taxable
earnings (including short-term incentives). From 1 April
2021, the SIML Board has determined to increase
the employer KiwiSaver contributions to 5%, provided
employees are contributing at a rate of 4% or higher (which
will increase to 5% should this be an option for employee
contributions in the future).

Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 2021140141
Directors should have a sound
understanding of the material risks faced
by the issuer and how to manage them.
The board should regularly verify that
the issuer has appropriate processes
that identify and manage potential and
material risks.
Risk Management Framework
The Stride Boards consider effective management of risks
to the operations and business of Stride to be an essential
part of their responsibilities. The Boards are responsible
for overseeing and approving the Stride risk management
strategy and policies, as well as ensuring effective audit,
risk management and compliance systems are in place.
The Audit and Risk Committee assists the Boards in
fulfilling their risk assurance and audit responsibilities.
Stride has a risk management framework in place,
supported by a set of risk-based policies appropriate for
the business, including a Treasury Policy, Conflicts Policy,
Investment Mandates across each Stride Product where
relevant, and Delegations of Authority. The principal
purpose of this framework is to integrate risk management
into Stride’s operations, and to formalise risk management
as part of Stride’s internal control and corporate
governance arrangements.
As part of the risk management framework, SIML
management maintains a comprehensive risk register for
the Stride business and for each of the Stride Products,
recording the key risks to the relevant business and
operations, and assigning each risk a risk rating based on
the likelihood and impact of the risk, as well as mitigation
strategies and the risk rating after implementation of the
mitigation strategies.
The Stride Boards receive a report on the material risks
facing the business every six months, as well as mitigation
strategies that are in place to manage those risks. This
report also includes notification of any changes to the risk
level or any new material risks that the business is facing.
These risks include financial, operational, compliance,
reputational, and health and safety risks, among others.
The key risk facing Stride during FY21 was the impact
of COVID-19, particularly given that Stride owns and
manages a number of retail shopping centres. Stride was
also cognisant of the different opportunities and challenges
posed by COVID-19 for the various Stride Products and
ensured that the approach to COVID-19 was tailored to the
needs of each Stride Product.
NZX Principle 6:
Risk Management
As reported in the “Sustainability” section of this report,
the Board is conscious of the risks posed by climate
change, and during FY22 will complete a climate risk
assessment for Stride and the Stride Products to develop a
comprehensive understanding of the risks posed to Stride’s
business through climate change and the response to
climate change.
Management of Health and Safety Risk
Stride is committed to ensuring that all persons, including
employees, consultants and contractors, tenants, and
members of the public, are safe from harm at work or while
on any site owned or managed by Stride. Stride’s overriding
health and safety objective is:
Our people are healthy and return
home safe and well
The Stride Boards acknowledge that effective governance of
health and safety is essential for the continued success of Stride
and its operations, the wellbeing of our people and others who
occupy or visit properties that are owned or managed by Stride.
The Stride health and safety charter is available on the Stride
website at www.strideproperty.co.nz. This charter reflects
that the Boards as a whole are responsible for the governance
of health and safety and have responsibility for leading the
health and safety culture and vision at Stride. The Board of
SIML also recognises that it plays a key role in managing health
and safety risks at properties owned by SPL and the Stride
Products in its role as manager of the Stride Products.
Health and safety risks at all sites, whether owned or
managed, are assessed and reported to the Boards, using
the same risk assessment methodology used to assess and
report on other risks. Health and safety risks are identified
and considered in terms of their impact, likelihood and
overall risk rating, with specific mitigating plans in place for
each risk. SIML works closely with tenants and contractors
to minimise and, where practicable, eliminate all property
related risks.
Contractor management remains a key health and safety
risk faced by Stride. Stride works hard to develop and
embed a positive health and safety culture throughout its
area of influence, including tenants, contractors and the
supply chain. SIML continues to work with contractors to
ensure that appropriate health and safety practices are
employed, and that contractors are minimising risk to staff,
public and tenants in undertaking their activities. Stride
remains vigilant in its engagement and management of
contractors to seek to ensure the work undertaken is safe
for all those involved, both those completing the work
and those in the area. For major developments SIML will
engage an external firm to audit health and safety practices
on site on a monthly basis, with the results of that review
reported to the Board.
During FY21, the key health and safety issue facing
Stride was the impact of COVID-19 on its operations and
those of the Stride Products and tenants. A number of
sites managed by SIML had tenants that were considered
‘essential businesses’ within the Government definition
on the www.covid19.govt.nz website, and therefore
the sites those tenants operated from were required to
be kept operational. Stride, in conjunction with these
tenants, identified those contractors that were required
to keep the sites operational and safe, and identified and
reviewed those contractors’ processes and procedures
for safe operating. As the alert levels changed, Stride’s
key focus was ensuring appropriate information was
provided to contractors and tenants regarding operational
expectations such as physical distancing, contact
tracing and sanitising, and monitoring to ensure these
expectations were being met.
During FY21 the SIML Board reviewed its health and
safety practices against best practice to ensure that it was
exercising its due diligence obligations in relation to health
and safety within Stride. The Board has requested SIML
management to undertake an external review of health
and safety practices during FY22, in accordance with the
Board’s policy of having an independent review every two
years, to ensure practices remain current and appropriate.
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 2021142143
The board should ensure the quality
and independence of the external
audit process.
External Audit Function and Audit Independence
PwC is the auditor of Stride. The key framework for the
relationship between the issuer and its external auditor
is comprised in the Audit and Risk Committee charter,
which includes the audit independence guidelines. These
guidelines require compliance with the Listing Rules, which
require rotation of the lead audit partner at least every five
years. FY21 represents the fifth audit for Stride’s current
audit partner, and accordingly a new audit partner within
PwC will be appointed for FY22 for Stride.
Stride does not have a policy of rotating its audit firm,
on the basis that there is a limited pool of external audit
firms within New Zealand and Stride engages the other
major firms for non-audit services, meaning they would be
conflicted if approached to act as auditor. The Audit and
Risk Committee will continue to consider rotating Stride’s
audit firm on an ongoing basis as appropriate.
The audit independence guidelines also set out a
description for determining the non-audit services that may
be provided by the external auditor without compromising
the external auditor’s independence. The Audit and Risk
Committee regularly monitor non-audit services provided
by the external auditor and confirm whether these services
prejudice the maintenance of independence of the auditor.
The purpose of the audit independence framework is to
ensure that audit independence is maintained, both in fact
and appearance, so that Stride’s external financial reporting
is reliable and credible. For FY21, PwC, as auditor, did not
provide any services other than audit and review of financial
statements and other assurance services.
The Audit and Risk Committee meet at least twice a year
with the external auditor. The external auditor is invited
to attend meetings of the Audit and Risk Committee as
required, with Directors free to make direct contact with the
external auditor as necessary to obtain independent advice
and information. In the interests of encouraging active
participation by shareholders at the Annual Shareholder
Meetings, Stride’s external auditor is in attendance to
answer any questions shareholders may have in relation to
the audit of the annual financial statements.
NZX Principle 7:
Auditors
Internal Audit Function
Stride does not employ internal auditors. Instead, Stride
adopts a process of project-specific internal audits, through
engaging consultants to undertake internal reviews or
assessments on a project-by-project basis. Selected
consultants are engaged to assess, amongst other things,
Stride’s internal control systems, financial reporting
system, risk management and the integrity of the financial
information reported to the Boards. Project based reviews
or assessments can operate both with and independently
from management, with all findings reported to the relevant
Board or Committee.
The board should respect the rights of
shareholders and foster constructive
relationships with shareholders that
encourage them to engage with the issuer.
Investor Communications
The Boards believe transparent and open communication
with shareholders is important to ensure effective
participation by shareholders in the business of Stride.
Shareholders deserve to be provided with all relevant
information about the performance of their investment and
to be informed on any significant matters relating to their
investment in Stride. Stride is committed to notifying the
market of any material information related to its operations
as required by the Listing Rules.
All announcements are posted on Stride’s page on the
NZX website, www.nzx.com. Following release on the
NZX, copies of the announcements and information
released to NZX are posted on Stride’s website,
www.strideproperty.co.nz.
The Boards have adopted a Market Disclosure Policy
that establishes procedures aimed at ensuring Directors
and management are aware of and fulfil their disclosure
obligations under the Listing Rules (as addressed under
Principle 4). Significant market announcements, including
the announcement of the half year and full year results, the
accounts for those periods and any advice of a change in
earnings forecast, require prior review and approval of
each Board.
In addition to these general disclosure obligations,
the Market Disclosure Policy requires Directors and
management to regularly consider whether there is any
information that may require disclosure in accordance with
the Market Disclosure Policy, the Listing Rules, the FMCA
and best practice in this area. Board agendas include a
consideration of any matters for disclosure as the last item
on the agenda, and the Boards turn their mind to whether
anything that has arisen or been discussed during the
meeting requires disclosure.
Management and the Boards are also in contact between
meetings as matters arise, and consideration is given to
whether any matters are material and require disclosure.
NZX Principle 8:
Shareholder Rights
and Relations
The Stride website has copies of all presentations and
reports released by Stride, and shareholders are encouraged
to refer to the website www.strideproperty.co.nz for
information on SPL and SIML.
Stride’s annual reports and interim reports are available
electronically on Stride’s website and investors can request
hard copies (where available) by contacting Stride’s Share
Registrar (whose contact details can be found in the
Corporate Directory at the back of this Annual Report).
Each notice of meeting for shareholder meetings and
transcripts of those meetings are made available on Stride’s
website and on the NZX. Stride encourages investors to
receive investor communications by electronic means
where possible.
Notice of Shareholder Meetings
In order for shareholders to fully participate in shareholder
meetings, the Boards will endeavour where possible, to
distribute the Notice of Meetings at least 20 working
days prior to any shareholder meetings. During FY21
shareholders were given at least 20 working days’ notice of
the Annual Shareholder Meetings of SPL and SIML held on
29 July 2020.
Annual Shareholder Meetings
SPL and SIML hold their Annual Shareholder Meetings
at the same time, with separate votes held in relation
to shareholder resolutions of SIML and shareholder
resolutions of SPL. SIML and SPL shareholders have one
vote per share they hold in SIML and SPL respectively, and
have the right to vote on major decisions in accordance with
the Listing Rules.
Shareholders are encouraged to attend the SIML and SPL
Annual Shareholder Meetings and take the opportunity
to meet the Stride Boards and SIML senior managers.
All Directors and SIML senior managers attend the
shareholder meetings and are available for questions. The
Chair provides time for questions from the floor and these
are answered by the appropriate member of the Boards or
SIML management.
Stride’s external auditor attends the meeting and is
available to take questions on the preparation of the
financial statements and the auditor’s report.
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 2021144145
Equity Capital Raise
Stride undertook an equity capital raise during November and
December 2020 (the Capital Raise), comprising:
• a $180 million underwritten share placement
(Placement); and
• a share purchase plan to eligible shareholders of up to
$40 million, with Stride having a discretion as to whether
to accept additional applications (SPP).
The Capital Raise was successfully completed on
15 December 2020 and Stride elected to accept additional
applications of $10 million under the SPP. Accordingly,
approximately 107.5 million shares were issued at $2.14 per
share, equating to $230 million of gross proceeds raised. The
net proceeds of the Capital Raise were used to partly fund
the acquisitions of 215 Lambton Quay and 20 Customhouse
Quay, and to capitalise SIML.
The SPP permitted each eligible shareholder to apply for up
to $50,000 of additional shares in Stride, under NZX Listing
Rule 4.3.1(c) as modified by the class waiver and ruling
issued by NZX Regulation dated 19 March 2020. The effect
of the class waiver and ruling issued by NZX Regulation was
to temporarily increase the aggregate issue price of shares
that may be issued to each shareholder under a Share
Purchase Plan to $50,000 in any 12 month period, for a
short period of time, to assist issuers to raise capital given
the impacts of COVID-19.
The Stride Board determined, having received advice on
options for the structure of the Capital Raise, to undertake
the Capital Raise by way of the Placement and SPP (rather
than under a pro rata structure such as a rights or entitlement
offer) for a number of reasons:
• Due to the timing of release of Stride’s interim results
on 25 November 2020 and entry into the agreement to
acquire the property at 20 Customhouse Quay (late on
24 November 2020) and the unconditional agreement
to acquire the property at 215 Lambton Quay
(19 November 2020), the Placement and SPP were able
to be completed before the Christmas holiday period,
while other forms of capital raising may not have been
able to be completed in this time period;
• The Placement and SPP could be, and was, sized
and structured in such a way as to enable almost
all shareholders to apply for at least their pro rata
shareholding in Stride;
• Overall, 99% of the SPP participants by number had the
ability to at least receive their pro rata allocation through
the SPP;
• By relying on the NZX class waiver and ruling, the SPP
of up to $50,000 worth of shares per registered holder
enabled approximately 98% of Stride’s shareholders to
participate in the SPP to a level which at least maintained
their pre-offer holding; and shareholders with holdings
of up to $400,000 were able to main their pro rata
shareholding. Stride expects that shareholders with
holdings greater than this amount would likely have been
able to participate in the Placement either directly as an
institution or indirectly through the retail broker channel;
• Overall, approximately 99.6% of eligible shareholders
had the ability to participate to maintain at least their
pro rata shareholding through the Capital Raise,
taking into account Stride’s total eligible shareholders
and those who were able to participate in either the
Placement or SPP;
• The SPP enabled smaller shareholders to participate in
the equity raising at the same price as institutions in the
Placement but with the benefit of having a longer offer
period to consider participation.

Indemnity and Insurance
In accordance with section 162 of the Companies Act and the Constitutions of each of SIML and SPL, each of SIML and SPL
has entered into a deed of access, indemnity and insurance to indemnify its Directors and the Directors of its subsidiaries
for liabilities or costs they may incur for acts or omissions in their capacity as a Director to the extent permitted under the
Companies Act. The indemnity does not cover wilful default or fraud, criminal liability, liability for failure to act in good faith and in
the best interests of the relevant company, or liabilities that cannot be legally indemnified.
SIML and SPL also have a Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance Policy in place. Among other things, the Directors’ and
Officers’ Liability Insurance Policy excludes cover for deliberate dishonesty, insider trading, fines and penalties (except for
legally indemnifiable civil fines or civil penalties), liability arising out of a breach of professional duty other than as a professional
director, and liability for which the insured is legally indemnified.
In authorising any insurance to be effected, each Director signs a certificate stating that, in their opinion, the cost of the
insurance is fair to SIML and SPL.

Exercise of NZX Disciplinary Powers
The NZX did not exercise any of its powers under Listing
Rule 9.9.3 in relation to Stride during FY21.

amounts payable by Stride and its subsidiaries to PwC for audit
fees and non-audit work fees undertaken in respect of FY21
are set out in note 8.2 to the consolidated financial statements.
NZX Waivers
During FY21 Stride was granted or relied on certain
waivers from the Listing Rules, which are described in this
section. NZX Regulation reviewed the waivers that had
been granted to Stride in relation to the Listing Rules dated
1 October 2017 and issued a new set of waivers on
28 May 2020. A copy of these waivers is available at
www.nzx.com/companies/SPG.
Ruling on the Definition of “Associated Person”
A ruling that, for the purposes of the definition of
“Associated Person” in the Listing Rules, Investore is not an
“Associated Person” of SIML and accordingly, Investore is
not a “Related Party” of SIML.
Ruling on definition of “Disqualifying Relationship”
A ruling that, for the purposes of the definition of
“Disqualifying Relationship” in the Listing Rules, any
reference to “Issuer” shall be a reference to the “Stapled
Group” (Stride).
Listing Rules 2.2 to 2.5 and 2.7 to 2.8
This waiver permits:
• The SPL Board and the SIML Board to be made up of
the same people;
• An SPL Board member to be deemed to be appointed
(or removed) to the SPL Board if appointed to (or
removed from) the SIML Board; and
• The SPL Board members to retire from the SPL Board
by rotation at the same time as they retire from the
SIML Board.
Listing Rule 2.10.1
This waiver permits the Directors of one Stride company to
vote on matters in which they are “interested” due to being
a Director of the other Stride company. Directors will not be
permitted to vote on matters in which they are “interested”
by virtue of a relationship or interest other than their
directorship of the Stapled Entities.
Listing Rule 2.11
This waiver permits the pooling of Director remuneration for
Stride, and the approval of Director remuneration by way of
a single resolution of SIML shareholders.
Listing Rules 2.14.1, 2.14.2, 7.8 and 7.9
This waiver permits Stride to provide consolidated notices,
reports and communications (including notices of meetings)
to shareholders. This will not affect the obligation for each
of SPL and SIML to hold separate meetings (albeit that they
will occur one after the other).
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2021Annual Report 2021152153
Listing Rule 4.6.1
This waiver permits SPL to issue shares to SIML employees
under a SIML employee share plan (if any), in order to
ensure that the number of SPL shares on issue is the same
as the number of SIML shares on issue at all times.
Listing Rules 3.13.1, 3.14.2 and 3.15
This waiver permits the Stride companies to announce,
via NZX, issues, acquisitions, conversions or redemptions
of securities on a consolidated basis. Dividends will be
separately announced by each of SPL and SIML.
Listing Rule 5.2.1
This waiver permits:
• each of SPL and SIML to enter into one or more
Material Transactions (as defined in the Listing Rules)
for the purposes of enabling SPL and/or SIML to
establish or acquire new property investment vehicles
without shareholder approval; and
• SPL and SIML to enter into one or more “Material
Transactions” for the purposes of enabling SIML
to establish or acquire new property management
opportunities without shareholder approval.
Ruling on definition of “Average Market Capitalisation”
and “Average Market Price”
A ruling that the term “Issuer” in the definition of “Average
Market Price” refers to the “Stapled Group” (Stride) and the
term “Quoted Equity Securities” in the definition of “Average
Market Capitalisation” refers to the stapled securities of
SPL and SIML.
Ruling on the definition of “Material Information”
A ruling that the reference to “price of quoted financial
products of the listed issuer” in the definition of “Material
Information” should be read as applying to the price of the
stapled securities of SPL and SIML. This ruling requires that
any announcement must explain whether the information is
material to SPL or SIML.
Listing Rules 3.5, 3.6.1(a), 3.7 and 3.8
This waiver permits the Stride companies to provide certain
information required in annual and half year reports on a
consolidated basis, rather than by and in respect of each
Stride company individually. This waiver is subject to the
additional condition that each of the Stride companies
release individual financial statements to the extent
required by applicable financial reporting legislation.
Listing Rule 8.3
This waiver permits the Stride companies to provide
consolidated statements of shareholdings to shareholders
which shows their overall Stride holding, rather than their
shareholding in each Stride company separately.
Equity Capital Raise
In addition, in connection with the Capital Raise undertaken
in November and December 2020, Stride relied on the
class waiver and ruling issue by NZX Regulation dated
19 March 2020 to increase the limit per registered holder
to $50,000, which is outlined below.
Limb (a) of the definition of “Share Purchase Plan”
The definition of Share Purchase Plan in the Listing Rules
provides that the consideration payable for the equity
securities issued under the Share Purchase Plan must not
exceed $15,000 per registered holder in any 12 month
period. This definition was amended by way of a class
waiver and ruling issued by NZX Regulation dated
19 March 2020 to increase the limit per registered holder
to $50,000.
Financial Reporting Exemption
The financial statements for each Stride company were
prepared in accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct
(Stride Property Group) Exemption Notice 2017. This
exemption allows SPL and SIML, subject to conditions set
out in the exemption notice, to prepare financial statements
in respect of Stride, while they remain stapled (in place of
separate financial statements for each company).
The practical implications of a shareholder holding a
stapled security include that:
• The shareholder is a shareholder of both SPL and SIML
• In order to sell a SPL share or a SIML share, the
corresponding SIML share or SPL share, as applicable,
also needs to be sold to the same purchaser
• Market disclosures via NZX may be made in respect
of the Stride companies as a whole, but each of
SPL and SIML will continue to be obliged to make
announcements under the Listing Rules according
to the nature of the disclosure (for example,
announcements about the declaration of a dividend
or the passing of a resolution at a meeting of
shareholders would be made by the relevant company)
• The only quoted price of a SPL share and/or a SIML
share on the NZX Main Board will be the quoted price
for the stapled security
• The materiality of “Material Information” for
continuous disclosure purposes under the Listing
Rules will be assessed against the potential effect
on the price of stapled securities as there will not be
a separate quoted price available for each of SPL
and SIML. Any disclosure of “Material Information”
made by Stride will explain whether the information is
material to SPL and/or SIML
• New stapled security issues will result in equal
numbers of SPL shares and SIML shares being issued
• Shareholders are entitled to attend, or vote by proxy,
at separate meetings of shareholders of each of
SPL and SIML. For some transactions involving both
Stride companies (for example, an issuance of stapled
securities being made with shareholder approval
under the Listing Rules), resolutions might be required
from shareholders in respect of the same matter. In
that case, the relevant transaction will only be able to
proceed if the respective resolutions are approved at
shareholder meetings of both SPL and SIML
• Distributions will be received, to the extent declared,
from each of SPL and SIML

Building out the Stride platform
Since the establishment of Stride’s REIM platform in FY17, Stride’s
look-through portfolio weightings have changed as follows:
•Officehas doubled to 40% in FY21 following acquisitions
•Industrialhas increased to 24% in FY21 following completed
acquisitions and developments and strong revaluations
•Large format retail (LFR)has reduced to 14% due to divestment of
SPL’s remaining directly-held LFR assets in April 2020 to Investore and
growth of other asset classes
•Town Centrehas reduced to 22% in FY21, as Stride’s strategic focus
has been on growing and establishing its industrial and office exposure
•Base management fee income has grown to 14% of Stride’s total
revenue for FY21, rising to 23% when including activity-based fees

1.As at 31 March for the relevant period and excluding lease liabilities.
2.Stride’s revenue comprises SIML management fees and SPL revenue. SPL revenue comprises income derived from SPL’s
directly-held property plus revenue derived from its interests in the Stride Products which is calculated based on net
Contract Rental on a look-through basis as at 31 March for the relevant period. Base management fees comprise
management fees from Stride Products (i.e. excluding fees from SPL) and exclude activity or performance based fees.
Execution of strategy is delivering greater scale to Stride’s
real estate investment management (REIM) platform,
which is leading to increased diversification across property
sectors and income sources
