Manager’s base fee
The Manager’s base fee is calculated as
0.50% per annum of the book value of
GMT’s assets (other than cash, debtors
and development land) up to $500 million,
plus 0.40% per annum of the book value of
GMT’s assets (other than cash, debtors and

The Manager is entitled to be paid a

performance above a target return (which
is calculated annually on 31 March) and is
capped at 5% of annual out performance

which GNZ ceases to hold office, or GMT
terminates). No performance fee is payable
for any year where GMT’s performance is

Fees(continued)
Changes to fees and expenses
Fees and expenses charged by unrelated
third parties for valuation, trustee, audit and
other services are charged at a market rate
and subject to change as contracts are
renewed or changed.
The calculation of the Manager’s base fee
and performance fee are set out on page 4.
This fee structure has been previously
approved by Unitholders and can only be
amended with Unitholder approval.
Property services fees, including property
management fees, leasing fees, acquisition
and disposal fees, minor project fees and
development management fees are charged
in accordance with the terms of contracts
agreed with the Manager’s Independent
Directors and approved by GMT’s external
trustee and supervisor, Covenant Trustee
Services Limited. The tenor of these
contracts varies depending on the services
provided but any new contract requires the
approval of the GMT’s external trustee and,
if the quantum of the fees payable under that
contract exceed the threshold in the NZX
listing rules, the Unitholders of GMT.
In order to ensure that all fees are set
at appropriate levels, the Independent
Directors of the Manager arranges for
the fees to be reviewed biennially by an
independent third party.
