Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (Precinct) (NZX: PCT) reported its financial results for
the 12 months ended 30 June 2021 today. The business has delivered a strong result for the
FY21 period illustrating the portfolio’s resilience in another year navigating the challenges from
COVID-19. Total comprehensive income after tax was $179.9 million compared with $35.1
million in the previous period with the movement attributable to a strong revaluation gain of
$282.9 million for the full year, offset by the termination payment of Precinct's management
services agreement.
Pleasingly, the business has continued to meet market guidance and deliver further growth
for our shareholders despite the unusual year with Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO),
which adjusts for several non-cash items, increasing by 3.1% to $85.3 million (June 2020: $82.7
million) or 6.48cps. This strong result reflects the demand for Precinct's premium grade
portfolio, maintaining high occupancy levels during the year and generating income from
high quality occupiers.
Full year dividends paid to shareholders and attributed to the 2021 financial year totalled 6.50
cps, representing a year on year increase of 3.2% and an AFFO dividend payout ratio of 100%.
Net property income increased 27.9% to $124.4 million (June 2020: $97.2 million) with the
increase primarily driven by the completion of several development projects, namely
Commercial Bay, during the year. After adjusting for developments and transactions, like for
like net property income growth was 1.2% higher than the previous comparable period.
While Commercial Bay Retail performance has been impacted over the period, foot traffic
and sales are showing significant improvement post the last lockdown in March with food &
beverage continuing to be the strongest performer, particularly Harbour Eats.
Generator was also impacted by COVID-19 with a reduction in events and lower occupancy
leading to a net operating income loss of $0. 9 million for the period. Occupancy and events
bookings are now showing a solid recovery with Generator continuing to support Precinct's
portfolio leasing and long term strategic objectives. The reduction in profitability has led to the
independent valuation of Generator recording an impairment of $9.8 million.
As at 30 June 2021 Precinct’s portfolio totalled $3.3 billion (June 2020: $3. 0 billion). Precinct’s
net asset value (NAV) per share at balance date was $1.52 (June 2020: $1.45).

Scott Pritchard Precinct CEO said, “It has been an active year for Precinct. Consistent with our
strategy, our investment portfolio and development projects have further advanced in the
period and delivered good results. The high quality and resilient nature of our portfolio is driving
Precinct’s operating and financial performance.”
“Internalising the management of Precinct earlier this year and successfully raising $250 million
of equity through a Placement and Retail Offer in June 2021 has put our business in a strong
position to deliver on the next phase of its strategy. Despite the challenging backdrop of the
COVID-19 pandemic, we have been able to capitalise on strong office leasing demand and
secure around $800 million of new developments with 90% pre-leasing achieved. This strong
demand combined with our pipeline of opportunities and the quality of our portfolio position
our business well to continue to deliver growth in shareholder value.”
“Following the internalisation and considering the opportunities that Precinct has, it is
considering the potential of partnering with third party capital to deliver further shareholder
value. This strategic option is increasingly logical following the decision to internalise earlier
this year.”
Operational and leasing update
Precinct's portfolio continues to benefit from quality occupiers, a long weighted average
lease term (WALT), high occupancy levels, and lease review structures that will generate
earnings growth. At balance date, overall portfolio occupancy was 98% and Precinct's WALT
was 7.7 years.
Precinct has experienced strong leasing demand for well located, quality office buildings. In
total, 34 leasing transactions were completed across 35,270 sqm of space for a weighted
average lease term of 11.2 years, including post balance date transactions. In Auckland, key
leasing includes a 20 year lease to Deloitte over the Deloitte Centre (One Queen Street), and
a new 9-year lease to Aon over levels 20 and 21 at the Aon Centre (previously known as AMP
Centre). In Wellington, a new 15-year lease was agreed with KPMG at 44 Bowen Street, as
well as a 12 year lease with Waka Kotahi New Zealand Transport Agency. At 30 June 2021
Precinct's portfolio is under-rented by 5.9% (June 2020: 2.9% under-rented).

Development update
Deloitte Centre (One Queen Street)
Following the start of construction of our One Queen Street redevelopment project in May of
this year, the project is progressing well.
Leasing all the remaining high rise office space comprising levels 15 to 20 to Deloitte reflects
the strong demand for prime inner city office space. This is a significant lease to have
concluded ahead of project completion and demonstrates both the quality of the asset
and businesses valuing the benefits of being located in the Commercial Bay precinct. With
Deloitte also taking naming rights, One Queen Street will now be named Deloitte Centre.
This leaves just two low rise floor plates which are not committed, and Precinct anticipates
offering these floors as smaller premium office suites ranging in size from 200 to 250 square
metres.
Bowen Campus Stage Two
The projects at 40 and 44 Bowen Street continue to advance well. Both buildings at the Bowen
Campus Stage Two development are tracking to programme and are on budget. Practical
completion of 40 Bowen and 44 Bowen Street is expected in September 2022 and May 2023,
respectively. The total project cost for the development remains around $195 million with a
yield of 6.5% once fully leased.
Dividend payment
Precinct shareholders will receive a fourth-quarter dividend of 1.625 cps. Due to Precinct’s
current tax position, there are no imputation credits to attach for the quarter and therefore
no supplementary dividend to be paid (see note 2). The record date is 10 September 2021
and payment will be made on 24 September 2021.
Outlook and guidance
Precinct has demonstrated remarkable resilience during the 2021 financial year. Our business
continues to benefit from a well-established and clear strategy.
Our portfolio is well positioned benefiting from some of the highest quality occupiers in New
Zealand, a long weighted average lease term, very little expiry risk, and a high degree of
structured growth. We have successfully completed $1.5 billion of development projects over
the past 6 years. Across our developments, we have created significant shareholder value. It

is this track record in capability that we are now looking to leverage with future transactions.
These portfolio characteristics give us confidence in our earnings outlook and the potential
for further dividend growth.
The Board expects Precinct’s dividend for the 2022 financial year of 6.70 cps to be paid. This
represents 3.1% year-on-year growth in total cash dividends to shareholders.

Note 1
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that shows the organisation's underlying and recurring earnings from its
operations and is considered industry best practice for a REIT. This is determined by adjusting statutory net profit (under
IFRS) for certain non-cash and other items. AFFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property
Council of Australia and is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance.
This additional performance measure is provided to assist shareholders in assessing their returns for the period.
Note 2
A supplementary dividend is paid to non-resident shareholders to offset the amount of non-resident withholding tax
(“NRWT”) that New Zealand companies are required to deduct from dividends paid to non-resident shareholders. A
supplementary dividend is paid to ensure equitable treatment between non-resident shareholders and resident
shareholders (whose dividends are not subject to NRWT).
There’s no disadvantage to Precinct or our shareholders, and non-resident shareholders don’t get a larger cash
dividend than an equivalent New Zealand resident shareholder.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Just over a year ago, Precinct
opened both the retail centre
and the PwC Tower at
Commercial Bay. This was a
significant milestone for our
business and Auckland’s city
centre with COVID-19 hugely
impacting the economy
during 2020.
A year on, we are encouraged by the
increased pedestrian levels which have
returned to the city. The retail centre has
delivered strong trading performance,
particularly in the second half of the 2021
financial year.
Commercial Bay continues to be an
important part of the ongoing revitalisation
of Auckland’s city centre. It also continues
to actively support the road to recovery in a
COVID-19 economy, locally. Commercial
Bay provides a quality offering in Auckland's
city centre.

PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
On behalf of the Board and Management team, we are pleased
to present Precinct’s 2021 Annual Report.
Internalising the management of Precinct positions our business to
deliver on the next phase of its strategy. We are committed to the
long-term success of Precinct.
FY21 performance
Precinct has delivered strong results during the 2021 financial year. While businesses and people continue to be impacted by
COVID-19, overall portfolio valuations have improved vastly since last year. Precinct’s full year revaluation recorded a significant gain
of $282.9 million or 9.3% for the period, reinforcing the strong investment demand for premium inner-city space.
Total comprehensive income after tax was $179.9 million. Pleasingly, and in line with guidance, adjusted funds from operations (AFFO)
increased 3.0% to 6.48 cents per share (cps). Our full-year dividend to shareholders is 6.50 cps, representing a 3.2% increase.
In May 2021, Precinct successfully issued a 6-year secured, fixed-rate green bond offer of $150 million. This includes oversubscriptions of
$50 million to institutional investors and New Zealand retail investors. 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.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021
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% accretion 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 interests, 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.
The Independent Directors believe that internalisation will best
position Precinct for future growth and is an appropriate
progression considering the scale and breadth of Precinct’s
business. Importantly, Precinct has retained key management
personnel and the internalisation ensures the continuity of
Precinct’s successful strategy and ongoing stable shareholder
returns.
Board changes
As part of Precinct’s Board succession planning, we are
delighted to have appointed two capable and experienced
professional directors to our governance regime post balance
date. Nicola Greer has been appointed as an Independent
Director, effective 16 July 2021, and Mark Tume has been
appointed as an Independent Director, effective 11 August 2021.
Nicola has extensive experience in New Zealand, Australia and
the UK in the banking and finance sectors. She is currently a
director of Airways Corporation, Fidelity Life Assurance Ltd, South
Port NZ, New Zealand Railways Corporation, and is a Member of
the New Zealand Markets Disciplinary Tribunal.
Mark’s professional experience has been in New Zealand
banking and funds management. His current directorships
include being Chair of Infratil, Ngāi Tahu Holdings Corporation
and Te Atiawa Iwi Holdings. He is also a director of
RetireAustralia.
Both Nicola's and Mark’s skills and knowledge in the commercial
property sector are valuable attributes which further strengthen
Precinct’s Board effectiveness, ensuring best practice corporate
governance is maintained while transitioning responsibilities.
On behalf of my fellow Directors and the Management team,
we would also like to acknowledge the departures of both
Launa Inman and Robert Campbell from the Precinct Board who
retired on 31 July 2021 and 11 August 2021, respectively. We first
thank Launa for her contribution to the Company since 2015,
particularly in the retail and customer experince areas. We
would also like to thank Rob for his efforts. He has been an
integral part of the Board over the last 9 years and his
involvement and valued service has contributed to the success
of Precinct. We wish both Launa and Rob all the best for the
future.
Sustainability – ESG responses
Precinct continues to progress our Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) risks and opportunities. Our most recent
Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (GRESB) score
demonstrates the good performance we are achieving across
our business. Precinct received a 2020 GRESB score of 83 during
FY21 (previously reported score was 77). We are again trending
ahead of the GRESB global average of 70 and we are
performing in line with our New Zealand and Australian peer
group. We are immensely proud of improving our GRESB scrore
over the last four consecutive years. Submissions for 2021 have
been made and results will be disclosed in our 2022 Annual
Report. During the year, Precinct also received a 2020 score of B-
following its participation in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP).
Pleasingly, this was higher than both the Oceania regional and
Global average of C. Management are currently working on its
2021 submission and are targeting 'A leadership and strategic
best practice'.
In September 2020, the New Zealand Government announced
the requirement for climate-related financial risk reporting for
listed corporates and major financial institutions. The new regime
will be on a comply-or-explain basis, based on the Task Force on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework, which is
widely acknowledged as international best practice. If passed
by Parliament, disclosures will be required for financial years
commencing in 2022, meaning that the first disclosures will be
made in 2023. Precinct is fully supportive of a low-carbon future
for Aotearoa New Zealand and while organisations like ours are
not yet required to make disclosures, we have published (on a
voluntary basis) our own Climate-related Financial Disclosures
document. This can be found on the Precinct website in our
sustainability section.
We are also pleased to announce the establishment of an ESG
committee at a Board level, reinforcing the high priority Precinct
places on our responses to our material ESG risks and
opportunites. We invite you to read more about Sustainability at
Precinct on pages 24 to 33.
Dividend guidance
The Board expects Precinct’s dividend for the 2022 financial year
of 6.70 cps to be paid. This represents 3.1% year-on-year growth
in total cash dividends to shareholders.
On behalf of the Precinct Board, Management and Precinct
team, we thank you, our shareholders, for your continued
investment in Precinct. We are committed to growing
sustainable value for Precinct's investors, as we successfully
deliver on our strategy.
Craig Stobo, Independent Director and Chair

Advancing Wellington opportunities
Successfully raising $250 million of equity through a Placement and Retail Offer in June 2021 has provided funding for the acquisition of
two Wellington office assets, Bowen House and the Freyberg Building. The proceeds from the equity raise also reduced Precinct’s
gearing providing additional funding capacity to assist with future development opportunities. Strategically located in the heart of the
government precinct, Bowen House and the Freyberg Building offer significant redevelopment opportunities which are now
progressing. Our business is extremely excited to further advance our Wellington offering.
We received strong investment demand from our institutional and retail investors. The Placement was fully subscribed and the retail
offer was oversubscibed receiving applications totalling approximately $58 million. The high level of support from both local and
offshore investors for this equity raising reinforces investor confidence for our business and Precinct’s long-term strategy. The offer
structure was designed to provide an equitable treatment to all our existing shareholders and we strongly believe this was achieved.

Development projects update
Deloitte Centre (One Queen Street)
Following the start of construction of our One Queen Street
redevelopment project in May of this year, the project is
progressing well.
Post balance date, Deloitte have leased all the remaining high
rise office space comprising levels 15 to 20 within the One Queen
Street office building to now be named Deloitte Centre. This
leaves just two low rise floor plates which are not committed,
and Precinct anticipates offering these floors as smaller premium
office suites ranging in size from 200 to 250 square metres. This is a
significant lease to have concluded ahead of project
completion and demonstrates both the quality of the asset and
businesses valuing the benefits of being located in the
Commercial Bay precinct.
The total project cost is expected to be around $308 million with
an expected yield on cost of 6.2% once complete.
Bowen Campus Stage Two
The projects at 40 and 44 Bowen Street continue to advance
well. Both buildings at the Bowen Campus Stage Two
development are tracking to programme and are on budget.
During the period, Precinct 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. With Waka Kotahi NZ Transport
Agency secured the building will be 100% leased prior to
expected practical completion.
With only one and a half floors totalling 2,700 sqm remaining
vacant at 40 Bowen Street, the aggregate pre-committed
leasing across Stage Two now represents 87% of the combined
office space with a weighted average lease term of over 11
years. Practical completion of 40 Bowen and 44 Bowen Street is
expected in September 2022 and May 2023, respectively. The
total project cost for the development remains around
$195 million with a yield of 6.5% once fully leased.
30 Waring Taylor, Wellington
The 30 Waring Taylor Street project is expected to be complete
in November 2021. This will be Generator’s first Wellington-based
offering. The project is on programme and in-line with budget.
We continue to progress our current development projects and
we are confident of their successful delivery.
Proven track record
Our business continues to benefit from a well-established and
clear strategy. Precinct has a strong track record of developing
world-class real estate. Over the last 6 years, we have
developed $1.5 billion in premium-grade real estate. These
projects have led to a significant reduction in the age of our
portfolio and delivered value uplifts for our investors.
Importantly, across all of our developments to date, at the point
of commitment, our pre-leasing was 44%, however, by the time
we completed the projects, our leasing was 99%.
We have successfully
completed $1.5 billion of
development projects over
the past 6 years. It is this track
record in capability that we
are now looking to leverage
with future transactions. Across
our developments, we have
created significant shareholder
value.
S C O T T P R I T C H A R D , C E O
Outlook
Our business has demonstrated remarkable resilience during the
2021 financial year. Despite the challenging backdrop of the
COVID-19 pandemic, we have been able to capitalise on strong
office leasing demand and secure around $0.8 billion of new
developments with 90% pre-leasing achieved. This strong
demand combined with our pipeline of opportunities and the
quality of our portfolio position our business well to continue to
deliver growth in shareholder value.

Auckland city centre.
The Auckland city centre office market appears to be operating in a ‘two-tiered’ manner with a widening demand gap between
prime and secondary assets. During the year, JLL research reported an uptick in prime vacancy rates to 7.3% as at June 2021 (June
2020: 4.8%), driven by 44,600 sqm of new supply and refurbishments being completed during the period, while secondary vacancy
increased to 13.9% over the same period (June 2020: 11.2%). Vacancies are also unevenly spread across the city centre, with
occupiers showing a clear location bias towards waterfront locations, with improved amenities and newer assets. Notwithstanding,
some commentators reported a decrease in net effective rentals across the wider city centre office market in the September 2020
quarter, driven by increased competition from additional backfill arising from recently completed developments and sublease
availability in response to COVID-19. Similar to vacancy rates, the prime grade market rentals have proven comparatively resilient, with
JLL research reporting a 5.1% year-on-year decline as at June 2021 (June 2020: -0.1%) attributable wholly to a rise in market-wide
leasing incentives, compared to a 8.9% decline recorded in the secondary market over the same period.
Looking ahead, while the occupier market is under some pressure from current vacancies and headwinds from increasing flexible
working arrangements, a marked uplift in leasing enquiries in 2021 to date and a comparatively benign supply pipeline both point to
vacancies stabilising and the return of rental growth over the coming months.
Turning to the city centre retail market, retailers have remained under pressure from structural headwinds and on-going impact from
COVID-19 border closures and disruptions from major works including the CRL, with CBD retail vacancy increasing to 7.1% as at June
2021 (June 2020: 3.3%) according to JLL research. Pleasingly, service and hospitality retail performed well over the period, buoyed by
strong pent-up domestic demand. The resilience of these types of retailers has proven instrumental to Commercial Bay’s strong trading
performance in its first year of operation. Statistics New Zealand reported a 13.5% increase year-on-year in annualised electronic card
transaction spend for hospitality retail.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Wellington city centre.
The Wellington city centre office market continues to outperform, driven by favourable tailwinds, including continued growth in the
public sector workforce and structural undersupply due to stock withdrawals as a result of seismic and environmentally sustainable
design (ESD) obsolescence. In particular, prime vacancy rates, reported by JLL research at 0.9% as at June 2021 (June 2020: 0.6%), are
continuing to hold well below the long-term average of circa 2%.
With occupiers competing for a limited pool of quality stock and new build pre-leasing opportunities, favourable market dynamics
have resulted in a significant increase in rentals with prime effective rentals increasing 3.9% year on year (June 2020: 1.4%), albeit some
of the rental growth may be eroded by continued increases in operating expenses.
Looking ahead, the recent themes of workforce expansion and flight to quality are anticipated to prevail and underpin low prime
vacancy rates over the short to medium term.

Results overview.
PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
FY21 results
The business has delivered a strong result for the FY21 period
illustrating the portfolio’s resilience in another year navigating the
challenges from COVID-19. Total comprehensive income after
tax was $179.9 million compared with $35.1 million in the previous
period with the movement attributable to a strong revaluation
gain of $282.9 million for the full year, offset by the termination
payment of Precinct's Management Services Agreement.
Pleasingly, the business has continued to meet market guidance
and deliver further growth for our shareholders despite the
unusual year with Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO), which
adjusts for several non-cash items, increasing by 3.1% to
$85.3 million (June 2020: $82.7 million) or 6.48cps. This strong result
reflects the demand for Precinct's premium grade portfolio,
maintaining high occupancy levels during the year and
generating income from high quality occupiers. Full year
dividends paid to shareholders and attributed to the 2021
financial year totalled 6.50 cps, representing a year on year
increase of 3.2% and an AFFO dividend payout ratio of 100%.
Net property income increased 27.9% to $124.4 million (June
2020: $97.2 million) with the increase primarily driven by the
completion of several development projects, namely
Commercial Bay, during the year. After adjusting for
developments and transactions, like-for-like net property income
growth was 1.2% higher than the previous comparable period.
Precinct continues to support its clients impacted by COVID-19
through a range of measures including rental abatements which
for the financial year totalled $1.1 million
1.
. This compares to
abatements of $1.7 million for the year ended 30 June 2020.
Total interest expense was higher due to development spend
and higher debt levels. Following the completion of several
development projects in the period and the resulting reduction
in capitalised interest, net interest expense for the period was
$27.2 million (June 2020: $5.1 million).
Generator was also impacted by COVID-19 with a reduction in
events and lower occupancy leading to a net operating income
loss of $0.9 million for the period. Occupancy and events
bookings are now showing a solid recovery with Generator
continuing to support Precinct's portfolio leasing and long term
strategic objectives. The reduction in profitability has led to the
independent valuation of Generator recording an impairment of
$9.8 million.
During the period Precinct internalised its management function
with a one-off termination cost of $217.1 million, which has been
recognised in the financial statements. The expected benefits for
Precinct and its shareholders include cost savings, pro forma
accretion to AFFO, increased alignment of interests and
retention of key management personnel and staff. Precinct has
recorded a positive tax position for the financial year of
$67.8 million (June 2020: $5.0 million expense). The positive
position is due to the reintroduction of depreciation on building
structures, prior period contaminant expenditure, and the
payment relating to the termination of the management
contract being deductible for income tax purposes. As Precinct
continues to maintain a relatively substantial development
pipeline, it is anticipated that Precinct's tax position will remain
low over the near term. Interest rates remained low during the
financial year due to the ongoing economic uncertainties
resulting from COVID-19. However, recent inflation pressures
have seen forward interest rates increase. This has resulted in an
overall gain in financial instruments of $19.7 million as at 30 June
2021 (June 2020: $1.9 million loss).

Results overview.
ANNUAL REPORT 2021
A full year revaluation gain of $282.9 million (2020: $66.3 million
devaluation) or 9.3% was recognised during the period. This
includes $148.5 million revaluation gain which was recognised at
31 December 2020. On a like-for-like basis, Auckland asset
valuations increased by around 6.5% and the Wellington market
proved to be particularly resilient with our Wellington asset
valuations recording an uplift of 16.6%. We continue to
experience strong market rental growth and benefit from having
secured long term leases to Government/Crown entities, which
have resulted in notable value increases across our Wellington
properties, where continued occupier market strength has been
observed. Precinct’s weighted average capitalisation rate has
firmed over the past 12 months from 5.3% to 4.8% at 30 June
2021. As at 30 June 2021 Precinct’s portfolio totalled $3.3 billion
(June 2020: $3.0 billion). Precinct’s net asset value (NAV) per
share at balance date was $1.52 (June 2020: $1.45).
Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO)
FFO and AFFO are measures used by real estate entities
to describe the underlying performance from their
operations. Aligning dividends with AFFO is generally
considered to be best practice for real estate entities.
FFO and AFFO are defined in more detail on page 38.
FFO for the year increased to $96.6 million (June 2020:
$90.5 million) or 7.34 cps. AFFO for the year was
$85.3 million, or 6.48 cps, matching the dividend paid.

Capital management
We have completed significant capital management initiatives
during the 2021 financial year, ensuring we are in a strong
financial position to achieve the best results across our
operational business.
During the year, Precinct raised $250 million through an
underwritten $220 million placement and non-underwritten
$30 million retail offer. It has provided sufficient funding for the
acquisition of 2 Wellington office assets, and also reduced
Precinct’s gearing, providing additional funding capacity to
assist with future development opportunities.
Recognising Precinct’s ongoing commitment to creating a more
sustainable environment, Precinct launched a Sustainable Debt
Programme in November 2020. The establishment of the
Sustainable Debt Framework is a natural extension of Precinct’s
sustainability strategy and the focus on sustainable business
outcomes. The Framework sets out the process by which Precinct
intends to issue and manage Sustainable Debt on an ongoing
basis to fund low carbon buildings within Precinct’s property
portfolio. The Programme was implemented with assistance from
ANZ acting as Green Bond coordinator with independent
assurance provided by EY.
In May 2021, Precinct successfully issued a 6-year secured, fixed
rate green bond of $150 million. 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.
Our balance sheet has been strengthened during the 2021
financial year. At balance date Precinct’s total borrowings
(including convertible notes) increased to $1,052.7 million
(30 June 2020: $951.7 million). Gearing as measured under
borrower covenants, which excludes the subordinated
convertible note, is 28.2% (30 June 2020: 28.8%). Similarly, total
assets at 30 June 2021 are $3.5 billion (30 June 2020: $3.2 billion).
Precinct remains within its borrowing covenants with total debt
facilities of around $1.6 billion at 30 June 2021. Precinct was 54%
hedged through the use of interest rate swaps at 30 June 2021
(June 2020: 56%). Average hedging for the 2022 financial year
will be around 55%. The weighted average interest rate including
all fees was 3.4% at 30 June 2021 (30 June 2020: 3.9%).
Precinct has continued to progress our capital recycling
opportunities. This includes the divestment of the remaining 50%
of the ANZ Centre in Auckland for $177 million in the period. The
proceeds from this sale were used to repay bank debt and
reduce leverage.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Operational update
Precinct's portfolio continues to benefit from quality occupiers, a
long WALT, high occupancy levels, and lease review structures
that will generate earnings growth. At balance date, overall
portfolio occupancy was 98% (June 2020: 98%) and Precinct's
WALT was 7.7 years (June 2020: 8.0 years). In total, 30 leasing
transactions were completed across 15,800 sqm of space. This
includes welcoming several new clients to our portfolio as well as
retaining a number of existing clients. Rentals achieved on new
office leases were on average 2.7% higher than valuation rents
at 30 June 2020. In Auckland, key leasing includes a 6-year lease
to Generate KiwiSaver over level 9 of Jarden House, and a new
9-year lease to Aon over levels 20 and 21 at the Aon Centre
(previously known as AMP Centre). In addition, a new 11-year
lease to the Serious Fraud Office over Level 8 at the HSBC Tower
has also been secured. In Wellington, a new 4-year lease was
agreed with AWS at NTT Tower, as well as a 5-year extension with
Kathmandu on the ground floor of the Aon Centre. Including
structured rent reviews, Precinct completed a total of 117,207
sqm of reviews at a 2.4% premium to previous contract rental.
There were 12,500 sqm of market rent reviews which were settled
at a 4.4% premium to 30 June 2020 valuation rentals. At 30 June
2021 Precinct's portfolio is under-rented by 5.9% (June 2020: 2.9%
under-rented).

estate in Auckland and Wellington, we continue to focus on
understanding and responding to our material ESG issues. These
include our material issues (noted on the next page) which
provide a comprehensive response to all ESG factors material to
the business.
We are very proud of the results we have achieved over the last
year. They reflect the progress we are making through
advancement of certain initiatives. We again improved our
GRESB score from 77 to 83. We are trending well ahead of the
global average of 70 and we rate a public disclosure level B
against the global average C. Pleasingly, Precinct also received
a score of B- following our participation in the CDP.
Our proactive approach in responding to our ESG risks and
opportunities is strengthening how Precinct defines sustainability
and we strive to further improve on our material ESG issues.
The growing awareness of buildings’ environmental impacts,
developing carbon legislation, and clients’ increased
expectations, make the environmental performance of our
buildings a significant material issue. The risks and opportunities
related to climate impacts resulting from the transition to a low-
carbon economy can be divided into 2 major categories:
• Transition risks – risks related to the transition to a lower-carbon
economy
• Physical risks – risks related to the physical impacts of climate
change.
As part of Precinct’s approach to climate-related risks and
opportunities, we have identified both physical and transition
climate-related risks. Risks have been identified through
Precinct’s climate-related risk register as part of its overall Risk
Management Plan. We have evaluated risk based on the short
term (< 2 years), medium term (2 –10 years) and long term (10+
years). All of Precinct’s climate-related risks have been recorded
in Precinct’s Climate Risk Register. Risks are categorised by the
risk type, risk driver, time horizon and potential financial impact.
This register is reviewed at least annually. While the key transition
and physical risks identified to Precinct are not currently
impacting business growth, they must be monitored, evaluated,
and mitigated. Precinct has identified 13 specific climate
change risks. An overview of our highest rated physical and
transition climate-related risks is presented in our Taskforce on
Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework, which
can be found on our website.

Client wellbeing.
Creating environments in which
our clients can thrive.
Our approach
Client wellbeing continues to be Precinct’s most highly material
topic measured by high stakeholder importance and high
significance of impacts. Client wellbeing is centred around
quality space – a healthy environment where positive social
outcomes and economic success is achieved. It is critical to the
long-term success of our business and we are seeing first-hand
the positive results in our leasing activity when attracting and
retaining clients within our portfolio.
We seek and record client feedback from independently run
client satisfaction surveys to help us understand and improve
client wellbeing. Conducted every 2 years, the most recent
survey is currently being undertaken. This year, we have
improved our client survey and extended our questions on:
• Relationship management
• Communication
• Overall interaction
• Amenity, service and experience
• Overall service provided by Precinct
In addition, we have also extended the number of people we
have sent the client survey to, we are including more staff of
each of our clients and members of Commercial Bay Club.
Preliminary results from our latest survey show that overall
satisfaction of working in a Precinct-owned or managed building
is 87%. Due to the survey still being finalised, we will share more
detail on our results in our next Annual Report.
HSBC Tower lobby redevelopment complete

Sustainable design.
Creating built spaces which
deliver net positive
environmental, social and
economic value.
Our approach
By recognising the role we have in contributing to urban
vibrancy and the prosperity of a city centre, we define
sustainable design as the creation of built spaces which deliver
net positive environmental, social and economic value. Precinct
continues to focus its sustainability efforts on incorporating
sustainable design across our assets and improving our
operational performance. We are seeing the positive results from
our investment in sustainable design.
Precinct targets both a 5 Green Star Design and As-built rating
(Excellence) for new developments while targeting over 50% of
the portfolio having at least a best practice (4 star) Green Star
rating.

Precinct’s overarching measure used as its core ESG indices
performance benchmark is the Global Real Estate Sustainability
Benchmark. GRESB assessments are guided by what investors
and the industry consider to be material issues in the sustainability
performance of real estate investments. It is considered the
global standard for ESG benchmarking and reporting for real
estate. Since Precinct’s first submission in 2017, we have
improved our score year on year. In addition, we rate a public
disclosure level B against the global average C. We continue to
target a score which is above both the GRESB global average
and the NZ/AUS peer average. The Australia and New Zealand
real estate sector continue to lead globally in ESG performance,
with Australia maintaining its top ranking. Submissions for 2021
have now been made with results to be disclosed in our 2022

Building environmental
performance.
Reducing carbon, energy use
and waste
.
Our approach
The environmental performance of our buildings includes the
energy they consume, the waste they generate and their
operational greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Precinct is
committed to minimising our environmental footprint in the built
environment with a conscious effort to help protect the natural
environment we are part of. Improving the environmental
performance across our buildings is therefore a key part of our
sustainability strategy.
Our facilities management team are responsible for maintaining,
assessing and upgrading our buildings’ plant and building
management systems on an ongoing basis. This ensure Precinct’s
buildings achieve their optimal environmental performance
levels.
Precinct also have an ongoing partnership with the New Zealand
Green Building Council (NZGBC) on current and future carbon
legislation (zero carbon) to promote and lead industry-wide
environmental practices. With New Zealand's built environment
said to account for approximately 20% of the country’s carbon
emissions, the building and construction sector has an important
role in achieving zero carbon. We know there is much work to be
done and this relies heavily on businesses, industry bodies and
Government working together.
Performance
Measuring our progress against targets
NABERSNZ
Currently 4 buildings in our portfolio have a 3.5 star or
above NABERSNZ™ rating with several ratings currently
underway
Target 100% of buildings ≥ 3 stars and above.
Carbon zero
Toitū carbonzero certification validated for second year
The Mason Bros. Building is the first project in the country to
receive a 6 Green Star As-built rating, the highest possible rating
for environmental impact, reflecting the building’s world-leading
sustainability credentials. It also has a 5.5 NABERSNZ Energy Base
Building rating.
Climate performance
As New Zealand transitions to a low-carbon economy, we
acknowledge that companies in the real estate sector along
with the building and construction sectors have an integral role
in adapting and seeking to mitigate the impacts of climate
change in the built environment. We recognise that to maximise
the benefits of our efforts in reducing our climate impacts, both
measuring and managing emissions is key. Precinct have chosen
to participate in the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) as the key
measure of climate (carbon) performance. CDP runs the global
environmental disclosure system and supports thousands of
companies on an annual basis to measure and manage their
risks and opportunities on climate change, water security and
deforestation. It scores companies and cities based on their
disclosure towards environmental leadership. Precinct received
a 2020 score of B-.
As part of the CDP process and in line with our focus on reducing
carbon, Precinct achieved Toitū carbonzero certification in 2020
and validated its Toitū carbonzero certification for a second year
in 2021. Precinct meets the requirements of Toitū carbonzero®
certification having measured its greenhouse gas emissions in
accordance with ISO 14064-1:2006. Toitū carbonzero certification
is accredited by the Joint Accreditation System of Australia and
New Zealand (JAS-ANZ). This provides assurance that our
certification meets international best practice. Precinct
continues to offset its unavoidable emissions from our operations
by allocating high-impact carbon credits from a Gold Standard-
certified international project.
NABERSNZ™ building energy efficiency
NABERSNZ™ is a system for rating the energy efficiency of office
buildings. For more information on NABERSNZ™ ratings see
https://www.nabersnz.govt.nz/about-nabersnz/types-of-ratings/
Currently 4 buildings in Precinct’s investment portfolio have a
certified NABERSNZ™ building energy efficiency rating. All
certified buildings have a rating of 3.5 stars or above. A 3-star
rating indicates a good performance and a 4-star rating
indicates an excellent performance.

Offsetting embodied carbon
Last year we shared that we would be offsetting the embodied
carbon from construction at our development project 40 Bowen
Street in Wellington. This is now underway and through Toitū
Envirocare, carbon credits for the 40 Bowen Street project have
been purchased. We are very proud of proactively progressing
this initiative throughout the year. Including the cost to offset the
embodied carbon within the project budget was a first for
Precinct. Post balance date, we are also pleased to share that
we have progressed this initiative further by also purchasing
carbon credits for the 44 Bowen Street project in Wellington, to
compensate for the tonnes of CO2 equivalent embodied in the
materials used and associated with construction to seek carbon
neutrality. Precinct consider the construction of a zero-carbon
building to currently be unfeasible both financially and physically
and consider carbon offsetting to be an appropriate tool. Going
forward, we plan to include the cost to offset embodied carbons
in all our development feasibilities for future development
projects, where feasible.
Ethical business practice.
Ensuring Precinct is governed
transparently and to the highest
of ethical standards.
Our approach
Disclosure on our ethical business practices, including our Code
of Ethics and Financial Products Dealing Policy is reported in the
corporate governance section of this report on page 43. Our
Code of Ethics includes a whistle-blowing clause for reporting
unethical or unlawful behaviour and the full code can be found

Matariki signals the Māori New Year and this year was celebrated
between 19 June and 11 July. Precinct, and Commercial Bay,
are proud to have been able to support this festival. Commercial
Bay was able to connect with all people visiting the centre,
creating a positive experience that everyone was able to
engage with while acknowledging the land that we are now
custodians of.

Precinct's Total Recordable Injury Frequency
Rate (TRIFR)
During the year Precinct have engaged with our
contractors to help us better track and record accurately
on our reported frequency rates for all our fitout and
development projects. Precinct recorded 3.37 for its
health and safety TRIFR performance, an improvement
on the benchmark TRIFR of 4.66 from the Business Leaders'
Health and Safety Forum benchmarking initiative. More
details can be found at:
https://forum.org.nz/resources/benchmarking-project/
We recorded 281 health and safety incidents in the year
compared to 265 reported in FY20. Precinct's recorded incidents
include observations, near misses, first aid injuries, medical
treatment injuries and lost time injuries. We had one significant
incident resulting in serious injury on one of Precinct’s
development sites. This site is under the direct control of
Precinct’s appointed main contractor and the incident was
immediately reported to WorkSafe.
Approximately 18% of recorded incidents were classified as
minor (for example, rolled ankles, minor cuts and grazes). 6% of
our recorded incidents were reported as intoxicated incidents
within the Commercial Bay centre. While the type and number
of incidents are generally minor (and are to be expected given
the number of food and beverage outlets within the centre),
management have created a committee comprising food and
beverage retailers and Hospitality NZ to ensure that a
coordinated and best practice approach to managing alcohol
is being adopted. A total of 216 recorded incidents occurred on
our stabilised property portfolio. The remainder (65) of our
recorded incidents occurred on our development sites which are
under the direct control of a Precinct-appointed main
contractor. This ratio reflects the completion of Commercial Bay
and the fact that much of Precinct’s property portfolio has now
stabilised with the size of developments during the current
reporting period significantly less than the previous financial year.
Over 204 principal audit and monitoring inspections were
undertaken during FY21. These inspections are in addition to
regular internal contractor health and safety monitoring
practices and included internal and external principal audits
and inspections, Project Control Group health and safety
meetings and specific health and safety workshops. This included
34 external audits by Construct Health Limited, with audit scores
averaging 97% for 30 Waring Taylor, 98% for 1 Willis Street, 95% for
Bowen Campus stage 2 and 99% for 1 Queen Street during the
year. We continue to support Mates in Construction and Precinct
is part of the Private Sector Advisory Group for Construction
Health and Safety New Zealand (CHASNZ).
Focus on Wellbeing
As part of its wellbeing programme, Precinct has focussed on the
importance of mental health awareness, with a particular focus
on resilience. The Employee Assistance Programme is promoted
within the businesses and is used on a regular basis.
The Commercial Bay Club has been running a successful
wellness speakers’ series and has had guest speakers come in to
talk to both Precinct staff and clients about energising yourself
using food and movement. Precinct continues to prioritise staff
physical wellbeing by providing fresh fruit in the office, running
bootcamps in Auckland and offering gym memberships to
employees in the Wellington office.
A key focus in FY22 will be to ensure that Precinct's operating
businesses, Generator and Commercial Bay Hospitality, are also
enabled to support staff wellbeing and mental health.
Benchmarking our performance
Precinct have chosen to use the Business Leaders' Health and
Safety Forum Benchmarking initiative to report its Total
Recordable Injury Frequency Rate against. The Forum’s annual
Benchmarking project enables participating members to
compare their performance with that of peers and others
outside their industry. Construction is one of the sectors included.
In 2020, 74 members took part in the benchmarking. The intiative
uses OSHA definitions for injuries, and all frequency rates are
based on 200,000 hours worked. The Total Recordable Injury
Frequency Rate includes all recordable injurries/illnesses
(Medical Treatment Injury, Restricted Work Injury or Illness and
Lost Time Injury). In the absense of a readily available and
publicly reported benchmark for non-residential construction in
New Zealand, we believe the Business Leaders' Health and
Safety Forum Benchmarking initiative is an appropriate measure
to record Precinct's health and satety performance against and
track our progress.

Definition - Funds from operations (FFO) and Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO)
FFO and AFFO are a non-IFRS earnings measure developed for real estate entities.
Funds from operations (FFO)
FFO is the organisation’s underlying and recurring earnings from its operations. This is determined by adjusting statutory net profit (under
IFRS) for certain non-cash and other items. FFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property Council of
Australia and is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance.
Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO)
AFFO is determined by adjusting FFO for other non-cash and other items which have not been adjusted in determining FFO. A dividend
payout ratio of 100% indicates a company is neither over or under paying dividend.
AFFO is considered a measure of operating cash flow generated from the business, after providing for all operating capital
requirements including maintenance capital expenditure, tenant improvement works, incentives and leasing costs.
While AFFO overcomes the limitations of FFO by considering the impact of capital requirements for operations, it can vary dramatically
year over year, depending on the lease expiry profile and level of activity in any one period.
Precinct's updated dividend policy
To pay out approximately 100% of Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) as dividends, with the retained earnings being used to
fund the capital expenditure required to maintain the quality of Precinct’s property portfolio. The payment of dividends is not
guaranteed by Precinct and Precinct’s dividend policy may change from time to time.

Corporate governance.
ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Introduction
The board of directors is responsible for the governance of
Precinct and is committed to ensuring Precinct maintains best
practice corporate governance structures with the highest
ethical standards and integrity.
Precinct's Corporate Governance Manual guides both the
directors and the representatives of Precinct. It includes a Code
of Ethics, Board and Committee Charters and Policies on
Securities Trading, Audit Independence, Diversity and Inclusion,
Continuous Disclosure, Takeover and Shareholder
Communications.
This section of the Annual Report reflects the company’s
compliance with the requirements of NZX Corporate
Governance Code. Precinct's Corporate Governance Manual is
available on Precinct’s website (www.precinct.co.nz) in the
News and Investor Information section together with a statement
of how Precinct's corporate governance policies, practices and
processes comply with the NZX Corporate Governance Code as
at 30 June 2021. If any investor would like a copy sent to them,
please contact Precinct investor relations.
Principle 1 – Ethical Standards
Directors set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this
behaviour and hold management accountable for these
standards being followed throughout the organisation.
Ensuring that Precinct is governed transparently and to the
highest of ethical standards and integrity is one of the key
priorities for the board. Precinct's Code of Ethics and Financial
Products Dealing Policy are set out in the Corporate
Governance Manual and are compliant in all respects with the
NZX Corporate Governance Code recommendations.
Code of Ethics – The purpose and intent of Precinct's Code of
Ethics is to guide directors, representatives and subsidiaries of
Precinct so that their business conduct is consistent with high
business standards. The Code is not intended to be an
exhaustive list of acceptable and non-acceptable behaviour,
rather it is intended to facilitate decisions that are consistent with
Precinct’s business standards, objectives and legal and policy
obligations. Precinct's Code of Ethics includes a whistle-blowing
clause for reporting unethical or unlawful behaviour.
Financial Product Dealing Policy – The Financial Product Dealing
Policy applies to all directors and officers of Precinct and
employees. No director, officer or employee may use their
position of knowledge of Precinct or its business to engage in
dealing with any Precinct listed financial products for personal
benefit or to provide benefit to any third party.
Principle 2 – Board Composition and Performance
There is a balance of independence, skills, knowledge,
experience and perspectives among directors to ensure an
effective board.
Precinct currently has seven directors, the majority of whom are
independent (as defined by the NZX Listing Rules). Precinct
undertakes a regular review of Board composition to ensure
Board membership comprises a range of appropriate skills and
experience so that it has a proper understanding of and
competence to deal with the current and emerging issues of the
business, can effectively review and challenge the performance
of management and can exercise independent judgement. The
Chair meets regularly with Directors of Precinct to discuss
individual performance of Directors. The Board regularly reviews
its performance as a whole. When considering the appointment
of the two new directors in 2021, the Board reviewed the skills of
each director and believes the individual expertise and
experience of all current directors as set out in the Board of
Directors section of this report meet the objectives of Precinct.
All Precinct directors are non-executive and the board
composition and performance is compliant in all respects with
the NZX Corporate Governance Code recommendations.
Precinct will notify the market of a reclassification of a non-
independent director to independent director (or vice versa).
Independent Directors – We are committed to ensuring that a
majority of directors are independent of Precinct, and do not
have any interests, positions, associations or relationships which
might interfere, or might be seen to interfere, with their ability to
bring independent judgement to the issues before the Board.
Having regard to the factors set out in the NZX Corporate
Governance Code, as at 30 June 2021, the Board determined
that the following persons were independent directors of
Precinct: Craig Stobo, Graeme Wong, Anne Urlwin and Launa
Inman. Each of these directors is subject to appointment by
Precinct shareholders and is required to retire by rotation. Post
balance date, Nicola Greer and Mark Tume were appointed as
Independent Directors, effective 16 July 2021 and 11 August
2021, respectively. Post balance date, the Board determined
that Chris Judd is also independent. Independent Director Launa
Inman retired from the Board on 31 July 2021.
Non-Independent Director – Mohammed Al Nuiami is non-
independent. Mohammed was appointed in 2013 as a director
by AMP Haumi Management Limited pursuant to a provision in
the constitution which grants the manager the right to appoint
up to two directors. Following the termination of the
management agreement in March 2021, Mohammed retained
his board position as a representative of Haumi Company
Limited under a provision in the constitution which allows a
shareholder holding more than 15% of the Company's shares to
appoint one director. Aditya Bhargava acts as alternate director
for Mohammed. Mohammed is not required by Precinct’s
constitution (or by rule 2.7.1 of the NZX Listing Rules) to retire by
rotation. Non-Executive Director Robert Campbell retired from
the Board on 11 August 2021.
Subsidiary Company Directors – The directors for each of
Precinct's subsidiary companies are all executive appointments
and as at 30 June 2021 are Scott Pritchard, George Crawford,
Richard Hilder and Edward Timmins.
Board Charter – Precinct's Corporate Governance Manual
includes the Board's Charter which sets out the roles and
responsibilities of the board and management.
Board Appointment – The People and Performance Committee
(previously Remuneration and Nomination Committee) assists the
board in planning its composition and is responsible for

managing the Board's succession requirements and for
nominating new director appointments. All directors enter into a
written agreement setting out the terms of their appointment.
Company Secretary – Precinct’s Company Secretary, who also
holds the role of General Counsel, has a direct line of
communication with the Chair, has unfettered access to the
Chair and Audit & Risk Commitee, and is considered to be
objective.
Diversity and Inclusion Policy – Precinct's Diversity and Inclusion
Policy is included in Precinct's Corporate Governance Manual
and includes measurable objectives which are assessed
annually. The board has developed this policy with
management to encourage a diverse and inclusive working
environment at all levels of the organisation to recruit and retain
the best talent from the widest pool of candidates and build a
culture where diversity of gender, age, ethnicity, orientation,
background, experience, skills, thought, ideas, styles and
perspective are leveraged and valued.
The gender composition of directors, officers and management
employees is as follows:
30 June 202130 June 2020
FemaleMaleFemaleMale

For the purposes of measuring and reporting gender diversity,
the term 'officers' is defined as the CEO and those who report to
the CEO.
Supporting the efforts to increase diversity across the
management team are secondary policies and practices
including the Equal Opportunities, Recruitment and Selection,
Study Assistance and Remuneration Policies together with a
Culture Charter and biennial anonymous staff surveys. To ensure
workplace diversity continues to evolve and be built upon a
matrix of key objectives and monitoring is undertaken on an on-
going basis.

Board Performance – The Board regularly reviews its performance
including its collective skills, knowledge, experience and
perspectives to identify any shortcomings and ensure that it
effectively governs the company and monitors performance in
the interests of shareholders. This includes reviewing director
tenure to ensure the independence majority is maintained.
Directors undertake appropriate training to remain current on
how to best perform their duties.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Principle 3 – Board Committees
The Board uses committees where this enhances effectiveness in
key areas while still retaining board responsibility.
For the year to 30 June 2021 there were two standing
committees of the Board, being the Audit and Risk Committee
and the People and Performance Committee (previously
Remuneration and Nominations Committee). In May 2021, the
Board established the Environmental, Social and Governance
Committee. Our board committees are compliant in all respects
with the NZX Corporate Governance Code recommendations.
The charters that exist for each committee can be found in the
Precinct Governance Manual together with Precinct's Takeover
Policy.
The Audit and Risk Committee at balance date comprised Anne
Urlwin as Chair, Craig Stobo, Rob Campbell and Launa Inman.
Since balance date Rob Campbell and Launa Inman have
retired from the board and therefore also from the Audit and Risk
Committee. It now comprises Anne Urlwin as Chair, Craig Stobo,
Nicola Greer and Mark Tume. The committee has a majority of
independent directors and complies with recommendation 3.1.
The committee was established to assist the board in discharging
its duties with respect to financial reporting, compliance and risk
management. Employees may attend Audit and Risk Committee
meetings at the invitation of the Audit and Risk Committee. The
Audit and Risk Committee supervises the financial information
flows of Precinct to ensure accuracy and objectivity of financial
summaries.
The Environment, Social and Governance Committee was
established in May 2021 and at balance date comprised Rob
Campbell as Chair, Craig Stobo, Graeme Wong and Chris Judd.
The initial Chair, Rob Campbell, has retired from the board since
balance date and therefore has also retired from the
Environment, Social and Governance Committee. It now
comprises Nicola Greer as Chair, Craig Stobo, Graeme Wong
and Chris Judd. The committee has a majority of independent
directors and complies with recommendation 3.5.
The People and Performance Committee (previously the
Remuneration and Nomination Committee) at balance date
comprised Graeme Wong as Chair, Craig Stobo, Chris Judd,
Anne Urlwin and Rob Campbell. Since the balance date Rob
Campbell has retired from the board and therefore also from the
People and Performance Committee. It now comprises Graeme
Wong as Chair, Craig Stobo, Chris Judd and Anne Urlwin. The
committee has a majority of independent directors and
complies with recommendation 3.3 and 3.4. The committee's
purpose is to:
• provide guidance to the board when approving the
remuneration of directors and key management personnel;
• assist the board in planning the board’s composition,
evaluating competencies required of prospective directors
and to make relevant recommendations to the board; and
• oversee the company’s people policies, practices and
procedures.
Management only attend meetings of the committee by
invitation.
The Due Diligence Committee
is an ad hoc committee that is
established by the board from time to time to provide guidance
and recommendations to the Board on the due diligence for
any transaction of a significant size and/or complexity. A Due
Diligence Process Memorandum is agreed each time the
Committee is established setting out its duties, responsibilities and
scope.
Three separate Due Dilgence Committees were established
during the year: one to consider the internalisation of the
management contract; the second to consider matters relating
to the capital raising; and the third to consider the Senior Green
Bond issue.
The Due Diligence Committee for the internalisation of the
management agreement met 11 times and comprised
exclusively of independent directors, namely Craig Stobo, Anne
Urlwin, Launa Inman and Graeme Wong.
The Due Diligence Committee for the capital raising met three
times during the year and comprised Anne Urlwin, Craig Stobo,
Graeme Wong and Chris Judd. The Due Diligence Committee
for the green bond issue met three times during the year and
comprised Anne Urlwin, Craig Stobo, Graeme Wong and Rob
Campbell.
Principle 4 – Reporting and Disclosures
The Board demands integrity in financial and non-financial
reporting and in the timeliness and balance of corporate
disclosures.
The Board is committed to ensuring the highest standards are
maintained in financial and non-financial reporting and
disclosure of all relevant information and is compliant in all
respects with the NZX Corporate Governance Code
recommendations. A copy of Precinct's Continuous Disclosure
Policy can be found in the Precinct Governance Manual.
The Audit and Risk Committee oversees the quality and
timeliness of all financial reports, including all disclosure
documents issued by the company or any of its subsidiaries.
Precinct has moved toward integrated reporting and the annual
report includes information on Precinct's;
• Business model
• Strategy and key performance indicators
• Risk management, and
• Sustainability framework.
Precinct reports against the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
Standards, shown in the Sustainability Section.
Precinct manage and oversee risks internally within our
organisation based on the Task Force on Climate related
Financial Disclosure (TCFD) recommendations. An overview of
our highest rated physical and transition climate related risks are
presented in our Taskforce on Climate-related Financial
Disclosures (TCFD) framework which can be found on our
website. Climate-related risks are included in Precinct’s Risk
Register which forms part of the Audit & Risk papers, ensuring
that Precinct’s climate risks are appropriately reviewed and

assessed and receive regular oversight via the Audit and Risk
Committee.
Principle 5 – Remuneration
The remuneration of directors and executives is transparent, fair
and reasonable.
This year, additional disclosures have been made in our
Remuneration Report to ensure that remuneration of both
Directors and Management Personnel is transparent, fair and
reasonable by aligning it with interests of the company and its
shareholders, following the internalisation of the management of
Precinct in 2021.
The company's director remuneration structure was updated
during FY19 to provide further transparency to shareholders by
setting aside the existing director pool fee cap and instead
putting any proposed increase in director remuneration to
shareholders for approval. Such approval would apply to both
directors' base fees and additional committee fees and allow
the board to recruit new directors during the year if appropriate
for succession planning. Director remuneration was last
approved by shareholders at the company's AGM in November
2018. Director remuneration has been reviewed this year by
independent advisors, PwC. Shareholder approval will be sought
for any adjustments to Director remuneration at the upcoming
Annual General Meeting of shareholders.
Our remuneration practices are compliant with the NZX
Corporate Governance Code recommendations.
More information on remuneration of directors and executives
can be found within the Remuneration report.
Principle 6 – Risk Management
The Board has a sound understanding of the material risks faced
by the business and how to manage them. The Board regularly
verifies that the company has appropriate processes that identify
and manage potential and material risks.
The Board has a risk management and reporting framework in
place that identifies and manages risk that may impact the
business and complies with the NZX Governance Code
recommendations in all respects.
Risk Register – A Risk Register is maintained which identifies key
risks (including climate risks) to the business, records the likelihood
and impact of each risk and steps to mitigate the same. The
Audit and Risk Committee oversees the risk register and reviews it
regularly with management to track existing risks and the
emergence of new risks. The results of each review are reported
to and reviewed by the Board. The Risk Register is further
reviewed when required in the event the Due Diligence
Committee is formed.
Financial Risk Management Policy – Our Financial Risk
Management Policy details our approach to managing financial
risks and the policies and controls that are required to mitigate
the likelihood of financial risks resulting in an adverse outcome.
This policy is reviewed by the Board annually.
Insurance – Insurance cover is in place for insurable liability and
general business risk. The primary objective of our annual
insurance programme is to protect shareholders from material
loss in the value of assets as a result of events such as fire, natural
disaster or accidental damage. This approach protects creditors
and bondholders as well.
Audit – Ernst & Young are engaged during the year to audit and
review our financial statements.
Health and Safety – Health and safety policies are embedded
throughout the business and overseen by Management's Health
and Safety Committee. Reporting and escalation processes are
in place to the Audit and Risk Committee and the Board.
More detail on how Precinct manages its key business risks can
be found under Risk Management in this section.
Principle 7 – Auditors
The Board ensures the quality and independence of the external
audit process.
Oversight of Precinct’s external audit arrangements is the
responsibility of the Audit and Risk Committee. We do not have a
dedicated internal audit resource but we do maintain an annual
audit programme, which is overseen by the CFO and draws on
the expertise of consultants and employees. Ensuring that
external audit independence is maintained is one of the key
aspects in discharging this responsibility. The Policy on Audit
Independence, detailed in the Corporate Governance Manual,
has been adopted by the committee. This policy is compliant
with the NZX Corporate Governance Code and covers the
following areas:
• Provision of related assurance services by Precinct’s external
auditors;
• Auditor rotation; and
• Relationships between the auditor and Precinct.
The Audit and Risk Committee shall only approve a firm to be
auditor if that firm would be regarded by a reasonable investor
with full knowledge of all relevant facts and circumstances as
capable of exercising objective and impartial judgement on all
issues encompassed within the auditor’s engagement.
The continued appointment of Precinct’s external auditors is to
be confirmed annually by the Audit and Risk Committee.
Rotation of Precinct’s client service partner and the lead and
concurring audit partners of Precinct and its subsidiaries will be
required every five years with suitable succession planning to
ensure consistency.
The external auditors shall annually confirm their compliance with
professional standards and ethical guidelines of Chartered
Accountants Australia and New Zealand (CAANZ) to evidence
their competence, as well as attend Precinct's annual meeting
to answer questions from shareholders in relation to the audit.
Precinct's audit firm EY also provided other assurance services
which include agreed upon procedures in respect of review of
performance fee calculation, operating expense statement
review and green bond assurance.
The first year of appointment of audit firm EY is 1997 and the first
year of appointment of the current engagement partner, Emma
Winsloe (EY) is 2018. Potential conflicts are resolved on a case by
47
Corporate governance.
ANNUAL REPORT 2021
case basis between auditing and other accounting services
provided by EY. Former partners of EY will not be appointed as
directors of Precinct so long as EY continues to audit Precinct.
Principle 8 – Shareholder rights and relations
The Board respects the rights of shareholders and fosters
constructive relationships with shareholders that encourage them
to engage with the company.
The Board is committed to achieving best practice investor
relations. Financial and operational information and key
corporate governance information (including Precinct's
Shareholder Communications Policy) can be accessed at
www.precinct.co.nz.
An annual investor relations plan has been established and is
reviewed annually. This plan details the investor relations
approach to e-communications, roadshows, investor briefings,
site visits, blackout periods, financial reporting and other items.
Enquiries from shareholders can be voiced at the Annual
General Meeting, or emailed through using the contact details
on our website. A key objective of the plan is to ensure accurate
continuous disclosure to the NZX.
Precinct shareholder approval of major decisions which may
change the nature of Precinct is sought. In 2020 Precinct posted
a copy of its notice of annual meeting on its website at least 20
working days prior to its annual meeting of shareholders.
Precinct designed its $250m placement and retail offer to
provide equitable treatment of shareholders by seeking to
maintain pro rata shareholdings for existing shareholders, where
possible.
The 2021 Annual General Meeting of
shareholders is scheduled for 4 November
2021
Similar to last year, it will be a hybrid (physical and virtual)
Shareholder Meeting. More details on the meeting will be
provided in the coming months.
NZX Rulings and Waivers
During the year to 30 June 2021, Precinct relied on the following
waivers from the NZX Listing Rules:
Waiver relating to management internalisation
On 24 March 2021, NZ RegCo granted Precinct a waiver from
Listing Rule 5.2.1. The effect of the waiver was to waive the
requirement for Precinct to obtain an ordinary resolution of
shareholders to terminate its management agreement with its
manager, AMP Haumi Management Limited. The waiver was
provided on conditions specified in paragraph 2 of the waiver
decision, including that the directors of Precinct who were not
“Associated Persons” of the manager certified that the terms of
the transaction had been entered into and negotiated on an
arm’s length basis, that entry into the transaction was in the best
interests of Precinct, and was fair and reasonable to Precinct
and its shareholders who were not related to, or “Associated
Persons” of, the manager. The independent directors of Precinct
provided this certification.
Waivers relating to director appointments
During the year to 30 June 2021, Precinct relied on two waivers
relating to the appointment of directors of Precinct. These
waivers were originally granted on 21 October 2010 and were re-
documented by NZ RegCo on 18 May 2020.
• A waiver from Listing Rule 2.7.1, to the extent necessary to
allow the manager to elect two directors to the board of
Precinct who are not required to retire in accordance with Rule
2.7.1. The waiver was provided on conditions specified in
paragraph 9 of the waiver decision. Following the internalisation
of Precinct’s management function on 31 March 2021, Precinct
no longer relies on this waiver.
• A waiver from Listing Rule 2.4.1, to allow Precinct to give 15% +
shareholders the right to appoint a director to the board of
Precinct. The waiver was provided on conditions specified in
paragraph 6 of the waiver decision.
Copies of these waivers are available at: www.nzx.com/
companies/PCT/announcements.
Non-standard Designation
Precinct’s constitution currently contains a limited number of
provisions not ordinarily contained in the constitution of an NZX
listed company, arising from its previous external management
structure. For the year to 30 June 2021, Precinct had a non-
standard designation by NZ RegCo due to the inclusion of these
provisions in its constitution. Precinct has asked NZ RegCo to
remove this designation.

Key Business Risks
External
Risks and impactsHow we manage the riskMovement in the period
Economy and property market
Market risk arises from adverse changes
in the New Zealand economic
environment, regulatory environment
and the broader investment market.
Changes may result in an impact in
property values and amount of income
generated by them.
Maintain a proactive and strategic
approach to manage property risks it
can influence.
Providing quality premises matched by
high service levels and building strong
relationships.
Undertake annual business planning
process to review the portfolio and
help mitigate these risks.
▲
The New Zealand economy has been
disrupted over the past 12 months due
to COVID-19 however the path to
recovery is becoming clearer as the
economy expects moderate growth in
the near term.
The property markets Precinct operates
in remain robust. It is evident that a
two-tiered market is operating in both
Auckland and Wellington with
occupiers continuing to favour
premium grade, well located assets
surrounded by amenity.
Occupier market and client default
A weakening occupier market through
lack of business activity and investment,
as well as unanticipated client default,
can directly impact the income and
value of each individual asset.
Insurance risk
The risk of being unable to continue to
obtain insurance cover, or following an
event, not having sufficient cover in
place to repay creditors. This could
result in significant business interruption.
Engage directly with a wide range of
local and international insurers.
Ensure the insurance market has a
good understanding of the portfolio
and its risks.
►
Precinct continues to proactively
engage with the insurance market on
renewals and continues to secure
coverage.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Risks and impactsHow we manage the riskMovement in the period
Climate risk
Climate risk includes physical risks
(acute and chronic) and transitional
risks.
Physical risks could include events such
as flooding, severity and frequency of
storms and sea level rise. These risks
could reduce revenue, increase
maintenance capex and reduce asset
values.
Transitional risks include risks of
transitioning to a low carbon economy
including regulatory change. These risks
could reduce the demand for Precincts
products or increase compliance costs.
Precinct’s Sustainability Committee
acts as the custodian for Precinct’s
sustainability strategy and comprises
representatives from various parts of
our business. The committee meets
frequently during the year. It is
responsible for assessing, actioning
and driving ESG issues, reviewing
performance and considering
Precinct’s long-term strategy on
sustainable activities across the
business and reporting on its progress.
An update is included in the Board
papers on an ongoing basis including
Precinct's climate risk register.
▲
Precinct recognises sustainability and
climate risk is an important part of the
ongoing operation of our business
activities. Sustainability initiatives
continued in the period with the
business remaining focused on ongoing
disclosure, reporting and improvement
within this area.
Internal
Risks and impactsHow we manage the riskChangeMovement in the period
Development
Development risk
Development projects are inherently
subject to uncertainties. They are
entered into on the basis of assumed
future costs, values and income levels.
An increased level of development risk
has the potential to make meeting
covenant obligations and overall
solvency challenging.
Ensure expected returns from
developments adequately
compensate Precinct for the level of
risk undertaken before approval.
Through due diligence, Precinct
understands the project risks before
commitment.
Before commitment, ensure funding is
in place and committed gearing stays
within acceptable levels.
Establishing a procurement plan and
engaging contractors early to mitigate
cost escalation or contractor default.
Undertake substantial pre-leasing prior
to commencement of development.
▼
As Precinct has grown in size following
the completion of several
developments. the level of
development risk has significantly
decreased.
An appropriate level of development
activity is underway however the risk
has been reduced through high levels
of pre-commit leasing secured and
fixed price contract agreements in
place.
Financial
Interest rate management
Interest rate risk arises through changes
in interest rate market conditions
leading to earnings volatility or breach
of interest cover covenant levels.
Manage by aligning the interest rate
re-pricing profile with the re-pricing
profile of Precinct's gross rental
income.
Establish interest rate swaps to
manage exposure within a band
reviewed by the Board annually and
monitored by the Audit and Risk
Committee and board quarterly.
▲
Interest rates remained low for majority
of the 2021 financial year. The
expectation is for interest rates to
steadily increase in the near term due
to the current economic conditions.

Risks and impactsHow we manage the riskChangeMovement in the period
Refinancing risk (liquidity)
Having insufficient funds to refinance
debt when it falls due and sustain the
ongoing operations of the business.
Implemented a Financial Risk
Management Policy in 2011 which is
reviewed annually providing a clear
framework in which to operate under
whilst ensuring risks are managed and
understood.
Diversified funding away from sole
reliance on bank funding through
alternative sources.
Staggering the maturity profile of
facilities providing adequate time to
pursue alternatives to refinancing.
▼
Precinct undertook several capital
initiatives in the period with a
combined value of +$800m significantly
reducing any refinance risk.
Precinct continues to maintain
sufficient funding capacity to deliver
our committed developments.
Gearing levels
An increase in gearing levels outside
suitable industry standards could
increase the risk of breaching financing
covenants and may increase
borrowing costs.
Precincts Financial Risk Management
Policy is reviewed annually.
Ensure no capital commitment is
entered into without funding in place.
Maintain adequate headroom in
relation to gearing covenants to
withstand portfolio devaluations which
may be anticipated through the
property cycle.
▼
Gearing levels remain within internal
policy parameters due to Precinct's
proactive funding strategy.
People
Staff
Staff are critical to ongoing success
and execution of strategy. Failure to
maintain a high level of experience
and skill could impact business
performance.
Ensure a strong focus on team
engagement and enhancement.
Maintain ongoing succession planning
and retention structures within the
company.
Regularly review performance
appraisals of employees and directors
and benchmark remuneration
packages with the wider market.
▲
The local employment market is
experiencing a significant skills shortage
primarily driven by border closures.
Staff remain a key focus for the business
at it continues to execute on strategic
objectives.
Health and safety
Unsafe work environments may lead to
accidents (employees, clients,
contractors and visitors) resulting in
harm to people, financial loss and/or
business continuity.
Provide ongoing individual, group and
industry training.
Maintain a hazard register that
identifies hazards where contractors
are required to take precaution.
Registers are subject to annual review.
Monitor any live sites to ensure
oversight of Health and Safety matters.
Ensure contractor pre-qualification.
Provide training and KPIs for all
Precinct staff.
▲
Appropriate monitoring and reporting
continue to be implemented and
refined to mitigate any potential risk.

PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
Message from the People and Performance Committee
Dear Shareholders,
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present you with
Precinct’s Remuneration Report for the financial year ended
30 June 2021. This year, we are including additional disclosures in
our Remuneration Report. Our goal is to ensure that remuneration
of both Directors and Management Personnel is transparent, fair
and reasonable by aligning it with interests of the company and
its shareholders.
Director remuneration is currently being peer reviewed by
independent advisors. Shareholder approval will be sought for
any adjustments to Director remuneration at the upcoming
Annual General Meeting of shareholders. All new Directors joining
Precinct during the upcoming year will be paid in line with current
rates. The company's director remuneration structure was
updated during FY19 to provide further transparency to
shareholders by setting aside the existing director pool fee cap
and instead putting any proposed increase in director
remuneration to shareholders for approval. Director remuneration was last approved by shareholders at the company's AGM in
November 2018.
While we continue to make good progress across Precinct’s diversity practices, we are committed to improving diversity and inclusion
at all levels of our business. From FY22 onwards, we intend to undertake Remuneration Equality Studies annually to help us better
understand the difference between women's and men’s earnings and ensure fairness.
We hope this year’s report is informative to stakeholders and that we have explained to you, our shareholders, how our people at
Precinct are remunerated in the short and long term, and how this directly links back to our strategy and the performance of our
business.
Graeme Wong
Independent Director and Chair of the People and Performance Committee
Graeme Wong, Independent Director and Chair of the People and Performance
Committee
Our approach to remuneration governance
Precinct’s remuneration governance framework is overseen by Precinct’s People and Performance Committee (previously the
Remuneration and Nomination Committee) which comprises a majority of independent directors at 30 June 2021. The People and
Performance Committee’s role is to assist the Board in establishing remuneration policies and practices.
The People and Performance Committee is guided by Precinct’s Remuneration Policy. This Remuneration Policy aims to ensure that
people are rewarded for performance that contributes to the achievement of Precinct’s business goals. In addition, the People and
Performance Committee follow a charter which is intended to guide Committee members in fulfilling their responsibilities to the Board.
On a regular basis, the People and Performance Committee will review performance objectives and remuneration packages of both
Directors and key management personnel of Precinct. This includes monitoring performance that outlines the relative weightings of
remuneration components and relevant performance criteria. They also consider remuneration benchmarking and succession
planning.
External advisors
Remuneration benchmarking of Directors and key management personnel (such as CEO, Deputy CEO and CFO) is undertaken,
annually by external advisors.
With regards to Precinct’s performance hurdles, the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) achieved by Precinct, and the members of the TSR
Peer Group will be calculated by a recognised independent party, being an investment bank, firm of chartered accountants or other
person or body that the Board reasonably considers has the expertise, experience and access to the necessary data to carry out the
calculation.

Short term incentive (STI)
Precinct operates a short term incentive (STI) bonus scheme for eligible employees. The objective of the scheme is to compensate
employees for achieving short term business strategy, high levels of performance and financial success over the financial year. In
addition employees have individual performance goals which are considered when determining variable short term incentives. In June
of each year the board will set annual goals for the CEO, Deputy CEO and CFO.
FeatureDescription
Purpose
To compensate individuals for achieving annual targets which are aligned to the delivery of Precinct’s strategy.
Business
objectives and
performance
measures
Individual STI awards are dependent on achieving various business objectives including overall staff management.
Individuals will have Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) which are set annually and aligned to the delivery of
Precinct's strategy and key priorities for the financial year.
Performance measures include:
• Precinct earnings target, AFFO
• Precinct portfolio metrics i.e. Occupancy, WALT
• Successful completion of treasury and capital management initiatives
• Delivery of major leasing and development projects
• Advancing key strategic objectives
Performance
assessment
The Board takes a robust approach to determining executive remuneration outcomes. The performance STI scheme
is intended to reflect the performance of the business, and reward for achieving targets. Assessment of
performance for a STI takes place in the form of an assessment of achievement against the objectives and targets.
CEO, Deputy CEO and CFO STI awards are endorsed by the People and Performance Committee and approved
by the Board at its absolute discretion.
STI awarded
This discretionary annual payment is 100% awarded in cash and rewards the CEO, Deputy CEO, CFO and other
individuals for achieving short term annual company and individual performance targets, encouraging
accountability for results.
Payment of a STI/performance bonus is not guaranteed and will remain subject to Board approval at its discretion.
Long term incentive (LTI)
Legacy LTI Scheme
Prior to Precinct's management internalisation, the Manager (AMP Haumi Management Limited) operated a long term incentive bonus
scheme for eligible employees which included the CEO, Deputy CEO, CFO and other senior executives. Due to the termination of the
managment services agreement, employees' employment contracts with the manager were terminated, resulting in previously
granted shares vesting. Following management internalisation a new LTI scheme has been establised and is set out below.
Restricted Share Rights (RSR)
Precinct's Restricted Share Right scheme entitles a Participant to receive a Share in the future depending on whether Service
Conditions are achieved. The participant is entitled to receive one share upon the valid exercise of each vested share right they hold.
Purpose
To secure the CEO, Deputy CEO, CFO and other key management personnel for a transitional period following the
internalisation of Precinct's management.

Performance Share Rights (PSR)
Precinct's Performance Share Right scheme entitles a Participant to receive a Share in the future depending on the degree to which
certain Vesting Conditions are achieved or exceeded during the Assessment Period. The participant is entilted to receive one share
upon the valid exercise of each vested share right they hold.
FeatureDescription
Purpose
Alignment of interests between the CEO, Deputy CEO, CFO and other key management personnel, and the long term
returns to Precinct shareholders, which drives long term performance to deliver Precincts strategy while also providing
an incentive for Key Management Personnel to remain in employment with Precinct prior to vesting.
Performance
period
A grant vests at the end of the performance period which is over a three year period. Due to the completion of the
internalisation of Precinct's management taking place on 31 March 2021, the initial performance period is between
1April 2021 and 30 June 2024. A share right vests on the vesting date subject to the participant's continuing employment
with Precinct and performance hurdles being met.
The vesting of the Performance share rights are endorsed by the People and Performance Committee and approved
by the Board subject to the board determining that the performance hurdles set out have been met.

CEO Remuneration
Scott Pritchard was appointed Chief Executive Officer in September 2010. On 1 April 2021, he was retained as CEO, under a new
employment agreement with Precinct post the internalisation of the management of Precinct.
The following illustrates the new remuneration mix of Precinct’s CEO. We believe the remuneration mix now provides strong alignment
between remuneration and company performance to deliver on Precinct’s strategy.
Details of the nature and amount of each element of the remuneration of the CEO is set out below.
Scott Pritchard was appointed Chief Executive Officer in September 2010. His remuneration for the year ended 30 June 2021 comprises:
• A fixed base salary which is benchmarked annually;
• A discretionary short-term incentive payment; and
• A legacy long-term incentive payment resulting from the termination of the management contract.
All remuneration between 1 July 2020 and 31 March 2021, including the legacy long-term incentive was paid by AMP Haumi
Management Limited (the Manager "AHML"), not Precinct. As a result of internalisation PwC was appointed by the Precinct Board as a
recognised independent party in order to undertake remuneration benchmarking in respect to the CEO and other senior executive
roles.
From 1 April 2021 the CEO's remuneration will be endorsed by the People and Performance Committee and approved by the Board.
The CEO base salary from 1 April 2021 has been approved at $780,000.

Notes to the Financial Statements
For the year ended 30 June 2021
PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
1. Reporting Entity
Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (Precinct) is incorporated in New Zealand and is registered under the New Zealand
Companies Act 1993.
Precinct is an FMC reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
These audited financial statements are those of Precinct and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the Group).
The Group's principal activity is investment in predominantly prime CBD properties in New Zealand. Prior to 31 March 2021 Precinct was
managed by AMP Haumi Management Limited (the manager). See Note 10 for further information on the management internalisation.
2. Basis of Preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with NZ GAAP. For the purposes of complying with NZ GAAP the Group is
a for-profit entity. The financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (’NZ
IFRS’). The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (‘IFRS’).
The financial statements have been prepared:
• On a historical basis except for financial instruments, investment and development properties which are measured at fair value.
• Using the New Zealand Dollar functional and reporting currency.
• On a GST exclusive basis, except for receivables and payables that are stated inclusive of GST.
All financial information has been presented in millions, unless otherwise stated.
3. Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise Precinct and its subsidiary companies.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all inter-company balances and transactions, income and expenses and profit or
losses resulting from intra-group transactions have been eliminated in full.
4. New Standards, Amendments and Interpretations
There were no new accounting standards impacting the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2021.
5. Changes to Accounting Policies and Disclosure of Significant Accounting Policies
No changes to accounting policy have been made during the year and policies have been consistently applied to all years
presented.
Significant accounting policies have been included throughout the notes to the financial statements.
6. Fair Value Estimation
Precinct classifies its fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making the
measurements. The fair value hierarchy has the following levels:
• Level 1 - Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active market 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 (by price)
or indirectly (derived from prices).
• Level 3 - Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
7. Significant Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Assumptions
In preparing Precinct’s financial statements, management continually makes judgements, estimates and assumptions based on
experience and other factors, including expectations of future events that may have an impact on Precinct.
All judgements, estimates and assumptions made are believed to be reasonable based on the most current set of circumstances
available to management. Actual results may differ from the judgements, estimates and assumptions made by management.
The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made in the preparation of these financial statements are in relation to:
i. Investment and development properties - refer note 9
ii. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities - refer note 15
iii. Impairment test of intangible assets and goodwill - refer note 11
iv. Business combination - internalisation of management - refer note 10
v. Share-based payment scheme - refer note 26
75
ANNUAL REPORT 2021
8. Significant Events and Transactions During the Year
Precinct's financial position and performance was affected by the following events and transactions that occurred during the
reporting year:
i. Bowen Campus Stage Two development
On 18 November 2020 Precinct committed to 44 Bowen Street, the second building of the Bowen Campus Stage Two development.
ii. COVID-19 global pandemic
In response to the on-gong COVID-19 global pandemic Auckland experienced Alert Level 3 lockdowns in August 2020, February 2021
and March 2021 during which the operation of some of Precinct's clients were restricted to varying degrees. Precinct provided
additional support to clients that have been impacted through a range of assistance measures including rent abatements ($1.1 million;
June 2020: $1.7 million), rent deferrals ($0.4 million; June 2020: $1.3 million) and lease restructures.
Independent valuers have carried out the 30 June 2021 property valuations by applying assumptions regarding the reasonably possible
impacts of COVID-19 based on information available as at 30 June 2021. The valuation methodologies and inputs are described in
Note 9. Due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic the property valuation for Commercial Bay Retail as at 30 June 2021 continues to
include a ‘material valuation uncertainty’ clause. The valuers have therefore advised that less certainty should be attached to the
property value than would normally be the case.
An independent valuer was appointed to assess the value the Generator business at 30 June 2021 in order to assess whether there had
been any impairment to the value of goodwill that arose on the acquisition of Generator. The valuer has considered the impacts of
Covid-19 on Generators operations in the assumptions used in the valuation. For further details refer to Note 11.
Precinct and its manager (AHML) did not claim any of the Government wage subsidy. Commercial Bay Hospitality claimed a further
$0.6 million during the year to enable hospitality staff to be retained. Generator repaid $0.3 million of wage subsidy previously claimed.
iii. Sale of ANZ Centre (50%)
On 12 May 2021 Precinct's remaining 50% interest in the ANZ Centre was sold for $177.0 million resulting in a loss on sale of $2.2 million.
iv. Internalisation of management
On 31 March 2021 Precinct internalised its management. See Note 10 for further details.
v. One Queen Street
On 24 May 2021 Precinct announced that following completion of a comprehensive re-design, construction of the One Queen Street
redevelopment was about to commence. The total project cost is expected to be around $305 million with completion due in late
2023.
vi. Capital raising
Following a placement in June 2021 Precinct issued 144,736,842 shares at $1.52 per share. Refer to the consolidated statement of
changes in equity for details.
A retail offer opened on 22 June 2021 and closed on 6 July 2021. See Note 31 for details.
vii. Purchase of Bowen House
On 18 June 2021 Precinct entered an unconditional agreement to purchase Bowen House for $92.0 million and will undertake a
comprehensive redevelopment of the building at an estimated cost of around $57.0 million. A deposit of $9.2 million was paid in June
2021 and is included in debtors and other current assets. The purchase was settled on 23 July 2021.

Accounting policies
Investment properties
Initially, investment properties are measured at cost including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition investment
properties are stated at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair values of investment properties are included in
profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Development properties
Investment properties that are being constructed or developed for future use are classified as development properties. All costs
directly associated with the purchase and construction of a property and all subsequent capital expenditure is capitalised.
Subsequent to initial recognition development properties are stated at fair value. Gains or losses arising from changes in the fair
value of development properties are included in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Valuation of investment and development properties
External, independent valuers, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and recent experience in the location and
category of the property being valued, value Precinct’s investment property portfolio at least every 12 months. The fair values are
based on market values, being the estimated amount for which a property could be exchanged on the date of the valuation
between a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm’s length transaction after proper marketing wherein the parties had each
acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion.

PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
Fair value measurement, valuation techniques and inputs
Precinct’s properties were valued as at 30 June 2021 by independent registered valuers Colliers International, Bayleys, JLL, CBRE and
Savills.
Due to COVID-19, as at 30 June 2021, the valuers included a 'material valuation uncertainty' clause within the Commercial Bay Retail
valuation. See note 8(ii) for more information.
During the year there were no transfers of investment or development properties between levels of the fair value hierarchy. The
valuation techniques used in measuring the fair value of investment property, as well as the significant unobservable inputs used are as
follows:
Class of property
Valuation techniques usedInputs used to measure fair value
CBD office and retailIncome capitalisation approach, discounted
cash flow analysis and residual approach
- Office gross market rent per sqm
- Retail gross market rent per sqm
- Core capitalisation rate
- Discount rate
- Terminal capitalisation rate
- Rental growth rate per annum
- Profit and risk allowance
- Forecast development costs

Valuations reflect, where appropriate:
• The type of tenants actually in occupation or responsible for meeting lease commitments or likely to be in occupation after letting
vacant accommodation, and the market’s general perception of their creditworthiness;
• The allocation of maintenance and insurance responsibilities between Precinct and the lessee; and
• The remaining economic life of the property. When rent reviews or lease renewals are pending with anticipated reversionary
increases or decreases, it is assumed that all notices and where appropriate counter-notices have been served validly and within
the appropriate time.
81
ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Valuation methodologies
Income capitalisation approachDetermines fair value by capitalising the net income at a
capitalisation rate reflecting the nature, location and tenancy
profile of the asset. Subsequent near term capital adjustments
are then made which typically include letting-up allowances for
vacancy and pending expiries, capital expenditure allowances
and under/over renting reversions.
Discounted cash flow analysisA financial modelling methodology assessing the long-term return
that is likely to be derived from an asset. Explicit assumptions are
required for rental income growth, leasing up metrics on expiries
along with terminal value at the end of the cash flow period,
typically a 10 year horizon. A market-derived discount rate is then
applied to the assessed cash flows and discounted to a present
value to determine fair value.
Sales comparison approachFair value is determined by applying positive and negative
adjustments to recently transacted assets of a similar nature.
Residual approachA methodology normally used for property which is undergoing,
or is expected to undergo, redevelopment. Fair value is
determined by firstly calculating a gross realisation which
forecasts what a property is worth on completion and deducts all
costs associated with the development of the property. These
costs typically include letting and sale costs, a market required
profit and risk margin, construction costs and finance costs.
Unobservable inputs within the income capitalisation approach
Gross market rentThe estimated rental amount which a tenancy within a property
is expected to achieve under a new arm’s length transaction
including a share of the property operating expenses.
Core capitalisation rateThe income return produced by an investment expressed as a
percentage of the capital value. The capitalisation rate which is
applied to a property’s net market income is determined through
analysis of comparable sales transactions.
Unobservable inputs within the discounted cash flow analysis
Discount rateThe rate of return used to convert a property’s future cash flows
to present value. The discount rate is determined through analysis
of comparable sales.
Terminal capitalisation rateThe rate used to convert income into an indication of the
anticipated value of the property at the end of the cash flow
period.
Rental growth rateThe growth rate applied to the market rental over the cash flow
period.
Additional unobservable inputs within the residual approach
Profit and risk allowanceThe market level of return for a typical developer to receive on
their outlay in order to undertake the respective development
having regard to the relative risks (e.g. leasing progress, fixed
price contract, programme/staging) of the project at that point
in time.
Forecast development costsAll costs associated with the development of the property. These
costs typically include letting and sale costs, construction costs
and finance costs.

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
For the year ended 30 June 2021
PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
10. Internalisation of Management
On 31 March 2021 Precinct terminated the Management Services Agreement with AMP Haumi Management Ltd ("AHML").
Precinct paid AHML $213.9 million for the termination of the Management Services Agreement. In addition, Precinct acquired certain
assets of AHML (comprising $1.1 million, for which a payment of $1.1 million was paid by Precinct). Accordingly the net consideration
paid for the termination of the Management Services Agreement and purchase of certain assets was $215.0 million. The previous
employees of AHML are now directly employed by Precinct.
Judgement was involved in determining whether these transactions met the definition of a business combination in accordance with
NZ IFRS 3 Business Combinations. It has been determined that this transaction was a business combination. A business consists of inputs
and processes applied to those inputs that have the ability to create outputs. In making this assessment, the key consideration was
whether processes were being acquired. The inputs included the fixed assets and the employees of AHML. The conclusion is that the
processes were being acquired in the form of the knowledge, skills and experience of the workforce in carrying out the property
management processes.
The cancellation of the Management Services Agreement terminates the pre-existing relationships between Precinct and AHML.
$213.9 million of the consideration transferred has been attributed to the extinguishment of the pre-existing relationships and has been
included in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income. These arrangements did not contain any substantive settlement
provisions that were reasonably available to Precinct. It was also determined that there were no favourable or unfavourable terms in
the arrangements when compared with terms for current market transactions for similar arrangements. Accordingly, no settlement gain
or loss arose from the settlement of the pre-existing relationships. Costs of $3.1 million relating to the internalisation are also recognised
in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the period.

c) Impairment testing
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill has been fully allocated to the Flexible Space operating segment (Generator).
Generator's operations involve the operation of co-working and shared space.
The recoverable amount of Generator was based on its value in use, determined by discounting the future cash flows to be generated
from the continuing operation of Generator. Due to impacts of COVID-19 on the operations of Generator the carrying amount of
Generator was determined to be higher than its recoverable amount of $22.2 million and an impairment loss of $9.7 million was
recognised. The impairment loss was fully allocated to goodwill.
The key assumptions used in the estimation of value in use were as follows:

Accounting policies
Recognition and measurement
Customer relationships and brands acquired in a business combination that qualify for separate recognition are recognised as
intangible assets at their fair value. Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated
impairment losses.
Impairment testing
External, independent valuers, having appropriate recognised professional qualifications and experience, value the Generator
business at least every 12 months. This independent valuation is used to assess whether there has been any impairment to the value
of goodwill recognised in Precinct's accounts.
Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalised only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which
it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognised in profit or loss as it
is incurred.
Amortisation
Amortisation is calculated to write off the cost of intangible assets less their estimated residual values using the straight-line method
over their estimated useful lives, and is generally recognised in profit or loss.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:
Intangible assets
Useful life
Customer relationships7 years
BrandsIndefinite
GoodwillIndefinite
Amortisation methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

Recognition of revenue from investment properties
Rental income from investment property leased to clients under operating leases is recognised in the statement of consolidated
income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease to the extent that future rental increases are known with certainty. Fixed
rental adjustments are accounted for to achieve straight line revenue recognition.
Precinct capitalises lease incentives provided to clients to the respective investment or development property in the statement of
financial position and amortises them on a straight-line basis over the term certain life of the lease.
The share of property operating expenses which are recoverable from clients is recognised as gross property income from expense
recoveries. This is associated with the provision of services relating to the operations of Precinct’s buildings (eg, cleaning, repairs and
maintenance, utilities). Precinct have assessed the performance obligations associated with these as being satisfied each month as
the services are undertaken within each building. Revenue from our clients for the recovery of operating expenses is billed monthly
and recognised in the financial statements in the same manner reflecting that recovery revenue from clients is received at the
same time that the performance obligation is satisfied.
Recognition of revenue from operating segments
Operating revenue from Generator is recognised when it transfers services to a member. It is measured based on the consideration
specified in a contract with the member.
Operating revenue from Commercial Bay Hospitality venues is recognised at the point of sale, measured at the fair value of the
consideration received.
13. Segment Information
a) Basis for segmentation
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker.
The chief operating decision-maker has been identified as the Board of Directors.
The Group has the following reportable segments that are managed separately because of different operating strategies. The
following describes the operation of each of the reportable segments.
Reportable segment
Operations
Investment propertiesInvestment in predominately prime CBD properties
Flexible spaceOperation of co-working and shared space
HospitalityOperating of hospitality venues
b) Information about reportable segments
Information related to each reportable segment is set out below. Segment profit/(loss) before tax is used to measure performance
because management believes that this information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of the respective segments relative to
other entities that operate in the same industries.
There are varying levels of integration between the investment properties and co-working segments. This integration includes occupied
space, future leasing and events. Inter segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.

Precinct holds its properties on capital account for income tax purposes.
The group has tax losses of $212.2 million available to carry forward as at 30 June 2021 (2020: $10.2 million)
In April 2021 Precinct applied to IRD for a binding ruling to confirm that that payment for the termination of the management services
agreement is deductible for tax purposes. On 30 June 2021 Precinct received a draft response from IRD confirming the deductibility
and are still waiting for the final response to be received. For the purposes of the 30 June 2021 tax calculation Precinct has assumed
the draft ruling position. See Note 31 for further information.

tax losses of the group.
Deferred tax liabilities
Precinct has recognised deferred tax liabilities relating to the depreciation claw-back which would arise on the sale of investment
properties at carrying value.
In estimating this deferred tax liability, Precinct has relied on independent valuers' assessments of the market value of the land and
improvements. For 30 June 2021, Precinct has then relied on insurance replacement cost reports to split the value of improvements
(being the building structure and the fixtures and fittings), identified in the independent valuer's assessments.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Accounting policy
Taxation
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax expense is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that
it relates to items recognised directly in equity, in which case it is recognised in equity.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at
the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised using the balance sheet method, providing for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of
assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which
temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that
it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
For deferred tax liabilities or assets arising on investment property measured at fair value, it is assumed that the carrying amounts of
investment property will be recovered through sale.
16. Reconciliation of Net Profit after Tax to Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO)
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that shows the organisation's underlying and recurring earnings from its operations and is
considered industry best practice for a REIT. This is determined by adjusting statutory net profit (under IFRS) for certain non-cash and
other items. AFFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property Council of Australia and is intended as a
supplementary measure of operating performance.

Precinct has committed funding of $1,595.7 million (2020: $1,195.7 million) including the NZ retail bonds, convertible note and US private
placements.
All lenders (excluding convertible noteholders) have the benefit of security over certain assets of the Group. The Group has given a
negative pledge which provides that it will not permit any security interest in favour of a party other than the lenders to exist over more
than 15% of the value of its properties.
The convertible note is subordinated to all secured debt and will convert into ordinary shares of Precinct subject to a Cash Election. The
cash election allows Precinct to elect to instead pay a cash amount to Noteholders at the end of the term. The number of shares into
which each holding of notes converts will be determined by dividing the Principal Amount ($1.00 per note) by the Conversion Price,
which is the lesser of:
1. the Conversion Price Cap of $1.40; and
2. a 2% discount to the Market Price.
To substantially remove currency risk, US private placement proceeds have been fully swapped back to New Zealand dollars.
Accounting policy
Interest bearing liabilities
Bank loans and the NZ retail bond are recognised initially at fair value less any attributable transaction costs. Subsequent to initial
recognition, these liabilities are stated at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The US private placements are recognised at fair value including translation to NZD with any gains or losses recognised in the profit
or loss as they arise. This fair value is determined using swap models and present value techniques with observable inputs such as
interest rate and cross-currency curves. The movement in fair value attributable to changes in Precinct's own credit risk is calculated
by determining the changes in credit spreads above observable market interest rates and is recognised in other comprehensive
income. This measurement falls into level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The convertible note embedded financial derivative is recognised at fair value with any gains or losses recognised in the profit or
loss as they arise. This fair value is determined using the black-scholes model with observable inputs such as Precinct's share price
and it historic standard deviation, the convertible note strike price and the risk free rate . This measurement falls into level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy.
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset are capitalised as part of the
cost of that asset.

Accounting policy
Leases
At contract inception Precinct assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. Where a contract conveys the right to control
the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration it is considered a lease.
Precinct as a lessee
Precinct applies a single recognition and measurement approach for all leases, except for short-term leases and leases of low-value
assets where IFRS 16 recognition exemptions are applied. Precinct recognises lease liabilities to make lease payments and right-of-
use assets representing the right to use the underlying assets.
Right-of-use assets
Precinct recognises right-of-use assets at the commencement date of the lease (i.e., the date the underlying asset is available for
use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any
remeasurement of lease liabilities. The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of the lease liabilities recognised, initial direct
costs incurred and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use
assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term certain life of the lease.
Lease liabilities
At the commencement date of the lease Precinct recognises lease liabilities measured at the present value of lease payments to
be made over the lease term. The lease payments include fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments) less any lease
incentives receivable, variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate and amounts expected to be paid under
residual value guarantees. The lease payments also include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be
exercised by Precinct and payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects Precinct exercising the option to
terminate. Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognised as expenses in the period in which
the event or condition that triggers the payment occurs.
In calculating the present value of lease payments Precinct uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date
because the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. After the commencement date, the amounts of lease
liabilities is increased to reflect the accretion of interest and reduced for the lease payments made. In addition, the carrying
amount of lease liabilities is remeasured if there is a modification, a change in the lease term, a change in the lease payments (e.g.,
changes to future payments resulting from a change in an index or rate used to determine such lease payments) or a change in
the assessment of an option to purchase the underlying asset.

Accounting policy
Derivative financial instruments
Precinct uses derivative financial instruments (interest rate and cross currency swaps) to manage its exposure to interest rate and
foreign exchange risks arising from operational, financing and investment activities.
Derivative financial instruments are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently re-measured and carried at fair value. They
are carried as assets when the fair value is positive and liabilities when the fair value is negative. The gain or loss on re-measurement
to fair value is recognised directly in profit or loss.
The fair value is the estimated amount that Precinct would receive or pay to terminate the swap at the balance date, taking into
account current rates and creditworthiness of the swap counterparties. This is determined using swap models and present value
techniques with observable inputs such as interest rate and cross-currency curves. The fair value of derivatives fall into level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy.
23. Capital Commitments
Precinct has $260.1 million of capital commitments as at 30 June 2021 (2020: $103.7 million) relating to construction contracts.

Under this scheme, share rights were issued which entitles participants to receive ordinary shares in Precinct within the period of 15-39
months. Vesting of share rights are subject to achieving service and/or performance conditions and is classified as equity-settled. These
are at-risk payments designed to align the reward for senior management personnel and senior executives with the enhancement of
shareholder value over a multi-year period.
The key terms and conditions related to the grants under this scheme are as follows:
Restricted share rights
(granted to senior
management personnel
and senior executives)
Vest over service periods of 15, 27 and 39 months provided the participant remains employed by
Precinct.
Performance share rights
(granted to senior
executives)
Vest over 39 months (assessment period) if the related performance hurdle is met and participant
remains employed by Precinct. These will vest as follows:
Absolute TSR rights (one-third of performance share rights)
If Precinct's TSR exceeds a specified annualised compounding rate.
Relative TSR rights (one-third of performance share rights)
Over the assessment period on a progressive vesting scale based on Precinct's TSR relative to the TSR of
property group comprising other listed property issuers.
FFO growth rights (one-third of performance share rights)
Over the assessment period on a progressive vesting scale based on Precinct's FFO growth per share
relative to CPI growth rate.
TSR - Total shareholder's return; FFO - Funds from operations
On vesting date, subject to meeting the service and performance conditions as above, each share right converts to one ordinary
share. Key management personnel and senior executives are liable for tax on the shares received at this point.

c) Fair value measurement of share rights
The fair value of the employee share rights awarded has been measured using a binomial model and Monte Carlo simulation. Service
and non-market performance conditions attached to the arrangements were not taken into account in measuring fair value.
The inputs used in the measurement of fair values at grant date of the award share rights were as follows:

Risk free rate (%)N/AN/AN/A0.570.570.57
Expected volatility has been based on an evaluation of the historical volatility of the Precinct’s share price, particularly over the
historical period commensurate with the expected term. The expected term of the share rights has been based on historical
experience and general option holder behaviour. The risk-free rate reflects the interpolated rate for the period of 3 years and 3 months
based on data sourced from the Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
The management expense relating to the LTI scheme for the year ended 30 June 2021 is $0.3 million with a corresponding increase in
the share-based payments reserve. The unamortised fair value of the remaining share rights at 30 June 2021 is $2.4 million.
Accounting Policy
Recognition and measurement
The grant-date fair value of share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognised as an expense, with
a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting periods of the awards. The amount recognised as an expense is adjusted to
reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such
that the amount ultimately recognised is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market
performance conditions at the vesting date. For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant date fair
value of the share-based payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected
and actual outcomes.
Key estimates and assumptions
It has been assumed that the key management personnel and senior executives will remain employed with Precinct on each of the
vesting dates and that the non-market performance conditions will be met.
27. Related Party Transactions
As outlined in Note 10, Precinct internalised its management on 31 March 2021. From this date no further fees were payable to the
manager. Instead the costs of managing Precinct have been incurred directly. The information below relates to fees paid to the former
manager prior to internalisation.

The base management services fee structure was as follows:
• 0.55% of the value of the investment properties to the extent that the value of the investment properties is less than or equal to
$1 billion; plus
• 0.45% of the value of the investment properties to the extent that the value of the investment properties is between $1 billion and

Notes to the Financial Statements (Continued)
For the year ended 30 June 2021
PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
b) Performance fee
The performance fee was based on Precinct's quarterly adjusted equity total returns relative to its peers in the NZ listed property sector
as measured by the NZX listed property index. The performance fee was calculated as 10% of Precinct's quarterly performance in
excess of a benchmark index, subject to an outperformance cap of 1.25% per quarter and after taking into account any brought
forward surpluses or deficits from prior quarters. No performance fee was payable in quarters where equity total returns were negative.
These fees were expensed through indirect other expenses in the year in which they arise.
c) Leasing fees
Precinct paid the Manager leasing fees where the manager had negotiated leases instead of or alongside a real estate agent.
Leasing fees were capitalised to the respective investment or development property in the Statement of Financial Position and
amortised over the term certain life of the lease.
d) Development manager fees
Precinct paid development manager fees where the manager acted as development manager on Precinct developments.
These fees were capitalised to the respective investment or development property in the Statement of Financial Position.
e) Acquisition and disposal fees
Precinct paid fees to the manager for managing the sale or purchase of properties instead of or alongside a real estate agent.
Acquisition fees were capitalised to the respective investment or development property in the Statement of Financial Position.
Disposal fees were expensed through net realised gain or loss on sale of investment properties in the year in which they arise.
f) Recoverable services fee
Precinct paid a property and facilities management fee as well as the cost of legal and marketing services on a cost recovery basis to
the manager.
These fees were expensed through direct operating expenses in the year in which they arise.
g) Generator management fee
As agreed between the boards of Precinct and AHML, a management fee of $400,000 per year was charged for the provision of
management services to Precinct relating to its investment in Generator.
These fees were expensed through indirect other expenses in the year in which they arise.
h) Other transactions with the manager
Prior to internalisation, other than in respect of the Generator and Commercial Bay Hospitality businesses, Precinct did not employ
personnel in its own right. Under the terms of the Management Services Agreement, the manager was appointed to manage and
administer Precinct. The manager was responsible for the remuneration of personnel providing management services to Precinct until
31 March 2021.
Precinct received rental income from AMP Haumi Management Limited, AMP Capital Investors (New Zealand) Limited and AMP
Services (NZ) Limited, being the Manager or companies related to the Manager for premises leased in HSBC Tower, AMP Centre and
NTT Tower. Total rent received by Precinct from these parties during the year was $3,615,866 (2020: $3,529,457). As at 30 June 2021 an
amount of $2,267 was owing to Precinct from AMP Capital Investors (New Zealand) Limited(2020: $4,208 owing from Precinct).
i) Related party debts
No related party debts have been written off or forgiven during the year (2020: $nil).

29. Capital Management
The Group's capital includes ordinary shares, retained earnings and interest bearing liabilities. When managing capital, management's
objective is to ensure Precinct continues as a going concern as well as to maintain optimal returns to share holders and benefits for
other creditors. Management also aims to maintain a capital structure that ensures the lowest cost of capital is available to Precinct.
Precinct meets its objectives for managing capital through its investment decisions on the acquisition and disposal of assets,
developments, dividend policy, share buy backs and issuance of new shares.
Precinct’s banking covenants require total liabilities (excluding deferred tax, derivative financial instruments and sub-ordinated debt
liability) to not exceed 50% of total assets. Precinct has complied with this requirement during this year and the previous year.
Precinct’s policy in respect of capital management is reviewed regularly.
30. Financial Risk Management
In the normal course of business through the use of financial instruments, Precinct is exposed to interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity
risk. The Board agrees and reviews policies for managing each of these risks.

a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk is the risk that fluctuations in interest rates impact the Group's financial performance, future cash flows or the fair value
of its financial instruments.
Precinct’s policy is to manage its interest rates using a mix of fixed and variable rate debt. Precinct’s policy is to keep at least 60%
(based on a one year horizon) of its interest bearing liabilities at fixed rates of interest. To manage this mix Precinct enters into interest
rate swaps, in which Precinct agrees to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed and variable rates for interest
calculated by reference to an agreed-upon notional principal amount. These swaps are designed to economically hedge underlying
debt obligations.
The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on interest bearing liabilities, after the
impact of hedging with all other variables held constant.

b) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to the financial instrument will fail to discharge an obligation and cause the Group
to incur a financial loss. Financial instruments which subject Precinct to credit risk principally consist of cash, debtors and derivative
financial instruments in an asset position. Precinct’s exposure to credit risk is equal to the carrying value of the financial instruments.
Precinct conducts credit assessments to determine credit worthiness prior to entering into lease agreements. In addition, debtor
balances are monitored on an ongoing basis with the result that Precinct’s exposure to bad debts is not significant.
There is no significant concentration of credit risk as financial assets are spread amongst a number of counterparties.

c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that Precinct will experience difficulty in either realising assets or otherwise raising sufficient funds to satisfy
commitments associated with financial liabilities.
Precinct monitors and evaluates liquidity requirements on an ongoing basis and generates sufficient cash flows from its operating
activities to meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities and has bank facilities available to cover potential shortfalls. The
Group’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its obligations when they fall due
under both normal and stress conditions. The Group manages liquidity by maintaining adequate committed credit facilities and
spreading maturities in accordance with internal policy.

Accounting policy
Derecognition of financial instruments
Financial assets are derecognised when the right to receive cash flows from the financial asset has expired or when the entity
transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of the financial asset. If the entity neither retains nor transfers substantially all of the risks
and rewards, it derecognises the asset if it has transferred control of the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised when the
obligation has expired or been transferred.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Independent auditor's report to the Shareholders of Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (“the company”) and its subsidiaries (together
“the group”) on pages 70 to 96, which comprise the consolidated statement of financial position of the group as at 30 June 2021, and
the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of
cash flows for the year then ended of the group, and the notes to the financial statements including a summary of significant
accounting policies.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements on pages 70 to 96 present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of
the group as at 30 June 2021 and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in
accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting
Standards.
This report is made solely to the company's shareholders, as a body. Our audit has been undertaken so that we might state to the
company's shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor's report and for no other purpose. To the fullest
extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company and the company's
shareholders as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand). Our responsibilities under those
standards are further described in the
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
section of our report.
We are independent of the group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1
International
Code of Ethics for Assurance
Practitioners (including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand)
issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Ernst & Young provides other assurance related and agreed-upon procedures services to the Group. Ernst & Young and the Group
have entered an agreement in respect of our future occupancy of a Group property. Partners and employees of our firm may deal
with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the Group. We have no other
relationship with, or interest in, the Group.
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, but we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. For each
matter below, our description of how our audit addressed the matter is provided in that context.
We have fulfilled the responsibilities described in the
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements
section of the
audit report, including in relation to these matters. Accordingly, our audit included the performance of procedures designed to
respond to our assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements. The results of our audit procedures,
including the procedures performed to address the matters below, provide the basis for our audit opinion on the accompanying
consolidated financial statements.

Investment and Development Property Valuations
Why significantHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
The Group’s investment and development properties have an
assessed fair value of $3,076.4 million and $232.4 million
respectively, and account for 96% of the Group’s total assets.
The Group engaged third party registered valuers to determine
the fair value of each property at 30 June 2021.
The property valuations require the use of judgments specific to
the properties, as well as consideration of the prevailing market
conditions. Significant assumptions used in the valuations are
inherently subjective and a small difference in any one of the key
assumptions, when aggregated, could result in a significant
change to the valuation of a property.
Given the market conditions at balance date, some of the third
party valuers have commented there remains some uncertainty
in relation to the adopted market assumptions given the impacts
of Covid-19 on the property market, indicating there may be a
greater range around their opinion of “market values” than would
normally be the case and/or that values and incomes may
change more rapidly and significantly than during standard
market conditions. The third party valuer of Commercial Bay
Retail reported on the basis of ‘material valuation uncertainty’,
noting that less certainty and higher degree of caution should be
attached to the valuation than would normally be the case. The
disclosures in the financial statements provide important
information about the assumptions made in the property
valuations at 30 June 2021. As a result, we consider the property
valuations and the related disclosures in the financial statements
to be significant to our audit.
For investment properties key assumptions are made in respect of:
• market rent; and
• estimated capitalisation or discount rates.
For development properties additional key assumptions are made
in respect of:
• forecast development costs; and
• profit and risk allowance.
Disclosures relating to investment and development properties
and the associated significant judgments are included in Note 9
‘Investment and Development Properties’ to the consolidated
financial statements. Disclosures in relation to the impact of
Covid-19 on the property valuations are included in Note 8ii to the
consolidated financial statements.
Our audit procedures included the following:
• Held discussions with management to understand:
– changes in the condition of each property; and
– the impact market conditions, including Covid-19, had on
the Group’s investment and development properties.
• Evaluated the Group’s internal review of the third party
valuation reports.
• Held discussions with the third party valuers to gain an
understanding of the assumptions and estimates used and the
valuation methodologies applied. This included consideration
of the impact, if any, of market conditions on key assumptions
such as market rent, capitalisation rates, discount rates,
forecast development costs and profit and risk allowances.
• Involved our real estate valuation specialists to assist with our
assessment of whether significant valuation assumptions fell
within reasonable ranges and the valuation methodologies
adopted were appropriate.
• Assessed key inputs supplied to the third party valuers by the
Group, including comparing the tenancy schedule and
specific provisions in the lease agreements to the underlying
records held by the Group.
• Assessed the significant assumptions applied by the third party
valuers for reasonableness compared to previous period
assumptions, the changing state of the properties and other
market changes.
• Assessed the competence, qualifications and objectivity of
the third party valuers.
• Considered the adequacy of the disclosures in Notes 8ii and 9,
including disclosure of the uncertainties arising from the
Covid-19 pandemic.

ANNUAL REPORT 2021
Information other than the financial statements and auditor's report
The Directors of the Company are responsible for the Annual Report, which includes information other than the consolidated financial
statements and auditor’s report.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of
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 during the audit, or otherwise appears to be materially misstated.
If, based upon the work we have performed, 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.
Directors' responsibilities for the financial statements
The Directors are responsible, on behalf of the entity, for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements
in accordance with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and International Financial Reporting
Standards, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that
are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors are responsible for assessing on behalf of the entity the Group’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 the group or cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the 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 International Standards on Auditing
(New Zealand) 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.
A further description of the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at External Reporting Board’s
website: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1. This description forms
part of our auditor’s report.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Emma Winsloe.

Tax overview
•Tax loss in the period resulted in a
tax benefit of $67.8 million
•Deferred tax asset (DTA) related to
tax losses carried forward
Outcome due to:
•The reintroduction of depreciation
on structure;
•Expenditure relating to testing,
removal and encapsulation of
contaminants as part of the
demolition of building structure
$13m (2016 - 2019); and
•The IRD confirming the deductibility
of the termination payment
Future financial periods
•Precinct will continue to recognise
a tax expense, however no tax
payments will be required until the
DTA has been fully utilised
•As a result, no imputation credits will
be available for distribution
