Precinct Quarterly Update

Welcome to the June edition of

our quarterly update.

Level 2 at Commercial Bay, Auckland

Precinct Internalisation Agreement

In March 2021, the Independent Directors of Precinct reached

an agreement with the Manager, AMP Haumi Management

Limited, to terminate the Management Services Agreement and

internalise the management of Precinct. The internalisation is

expected to provide significant benefits to Precinct and its

shareholders. We expect cost savings from the transaction of

$14.6 million per annum and 6.0% accretive to adjusted funds

from operations per share on a pro forma basis. As the

Independent Directors needed to act quickly and with certainty

given competing interest, and to ensure Precinct was able to

secure all the benefits of internalising management, an NZX

waiver was obtained so that the transaction did not require a

shareholder vote. Importantly, Precinct has retained key

management personnel.

We are committed to the long-term success of Precinct. We

believe internalising the management of Precinct positions our

business to deliver on the next phase of its strategy. The Board

would like to reaffirm Precinct’s full year dividend of 6.50 cps. This

represents a 3.2% year on year increase in dividend to

shareholders.

Precinct's FY21 annual results are scheduled for 12 August 2021.

Yours faithfully,

Craig Stobo, Independent Director and Chair

Precinct Quarterly Update (Continued)

Construction start on One Queen Street

We are very excited to have announced that following

completion of a comprehensive re-design, construction of the

One Queen Street redevelopment has now commenced.

Building on the success of Commercial Bay since opening almost

one year ago, this second stage will comprise a luxury hotel,

premium office accommodation and a variety of unique food

and beverage options. Importantly, the revised scheme remains

fully integrated into the Commercial Bay retail precinct.

One Queen Street occupies one of the most prominent positions

within Auckland’s city centre so ensuring the building is

contributing to the city centre and to Commercial Bay has been

a priority for Precinct.

Construction will be undertaken by LT McGuinness on a fixed

price contract with completion due in late 2023. The total project

cost is expected to be around $305 million with an expected

yield on cost of 6.2% once complete.

Bowen Campus

Precinct has secured a 12 year term lease with Waka Kotahi NZ

Transport Agency who will occupy 6 contiguous floors across the

ground and levels 1 to 5, totalling 8,660 sqm of space at 44

Bowen Street in Wellington. We are delighted to have secured

such a high quality large occupier like Waka Kotahi NZ Transport

Agency into Precinct’s Wellington portfolio. Precinct committed

to the 44 Bowen Street project on a pre-committed basis with

leasing to KPMG secured at the end of last year. With Waka

Kotahi NZ Transport Agency secured the building will now be

100% leased.

Construction at both buildings at the Bowen Campus Stage Two

development continue to advance well, tracking to programme

and on budget. Practical completion of 40 Bowen and 44

Bowen Street is expected in September 2022 and May 2023,

respectively.

Carbon Performance

With a goal to create

sustainable value through city

centre real estate, Precinct

recognises the importance of

working together with Carbon

Disclosure Project (CDP), a

not-for-profit charity that runs the global disclosure system for

investors, companies, cities, states and regions to manage their

environmental impacts. Each year CDP supports thousands of

companies to measure and manage their risks and opportunities

on climate change, water security and deforestation. CDP’s

climate questionnaires are fully aligned with the TCFD (or Task

Force on Climate related Financial Disclosures)

recommendations. We are pleased to update investors and

share that Precinct has received a B- for 2020, higher than both

the Oceania regional and Global average of C. Looking

forward, we hope to improve on our current score towards

environmental leadership.

Green Bond

In May 2021, Precinct successfully issued a six year secured, fixed

rate green bond offer of NZ$150 million. This includes

oversubscriptions of $50 million to institutional investors and New

Zealand retail investors. There was no public pool for the offer,

with all the Green Bonds reserved for clients of the Joint Lead

Managers, NZX participants and other approved financial

intermediaries. The net proceeds of the offer are intended to be

earmarked in accordance with Precinct’s Sustainable Debt

Framework dated 2020 to finance or refinance energy efficient

buildings.
