MARKET RELEASE

13 October 2021


Vital announces acquisition and $140m capital raising

NorthWest Healthcare Properties Management Limited (the Manager), as manager of

Vital Healthcare Property Trust (Vital), today announced the acquisition of The Tennyson

Centre, and the intention to raise approximately $140m of new equity capital, through a

$115m underwritten

(1)

placement of new units (the Placement) and a ~$25m Unit

Purchase Plan (UPP)

(2)

(the Offer).


The net proceeds of the Offer provide Vital funding capacity to continue to support its

acquisition and development pipeline.


Tennyson Centre acquisition


The Tennyson Centre is one of Adelaide's leading “Cancer Centres of Excellence”,

comprising high quality tenants who operate within the identification, assessment and

treatment of cancer through oncology, radiotherapy, imaging and consulting services.

Strategic objectives


The acquisition of Tennyson Centre is aligned with Vital's 5-year portfolio strategy:

 Supports AFFO target growth of 2-3% per annum

 Increases investment allocation to ambulatory care

 Further enhances tenant diversification

 Creates new or expanded relationships with a number of leading national

providers of allied health services.


Vital's Fund Manager, Aaron Hockly, said:

"This acquisition is our first cancer centre of excellence and our third significant property

investment in Adelaide, South Australia. It adds several established healthcare operators

to Vital’s tenant base and is expected to provide on-going AFFO growth for Vital’s

unitholders. We will look to expand the centre on the development land acquired as part

of this transaction."


Capital raising


The $115m Placement will be conducted during the course of today, with new units

issued at a fixed price of $2.90 per unit, representing a 3.7% discount to the closing price

of $3.01 on 12 October 2021. NorthWest

(3)

has committed to participate in the Placement

by subscribing for at least $37.4m of new units, representing its pro rata 26.7% stake in

Vital.


The UPP will allow all eligible unitholders with a registered address in New Zealand on the

record date to apply for up to $15,000 of new units in Vital. The issue price of the new

units under the UPP will be the lower of the Placement price and a 2.5% discount to the

volume weighted average price of Vital units traded on the NZX during the five trading

days up to, and including, the end of the UPP offer period.


The Offer has been structured to be as fair as possible to all existing unitholders, and

enables almost all unitholders to participate through either the Placement or the UPP

(except where restricted due to legal constraints), and should scaling be required, it will

be by reference to existing unitholdings on the record date.


The UPP offer opens on 19 October 2021, with the offer document and application form

also being available from that date.


The new units issued under the Offer will rank equally with existing Vital units on issue and

will be eligible for the FY22 first quarter distribution payable in December.


The Placement is underwritten

(1)

by Forsyth Barr Group Limited and Goldman Sachs New

Zealand Limited.

Balance sheet impact

Vital’s pro forma gearing will be 33.6%

(4)

upon completion of the Offer, the Tennyson

Centre acquisition and previously announced transactions, an improvement of 1.4% over

30 June 2021. This provides Vital with funding capacity to continue to support its

acquisition and development pipeline.

Outlook


The Board reconfirms Vital’s previously released distribution guidance of 9.50 cents per

unit for the FY22 financial year, on a conservative pay-out ratio

(5)

.

VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST

Vital’sbusiness activities are subject to a number of risks which may, individually or in combination, affect the future operating performance of Vital and the value ofaninvestmentinVital.Investors

shouldcarefullyconsider,andmaketheirown assessment of, these risks, including the risk factors described below, before deciding whether to invest in New Units in Vital. This section does not set

out all the risks related to an investment in Vital and has been prepared without reference to your personal circumstances. Somerisks may be unknown and other risks, currently believed to be

immaterial, could turn out to be material. You should seek independent advice before deciding whether to participate in the Offer.

Impact of

COVID-19 and

macroeconomic

risks

In March 2020, the COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organisation. Since then, events related to COVID-19 have resulted in significant disruption to local

and global economies. To date, Vital’sbusiness has been reasonably resilient to COVID-19 and the Manager currently believes that the outbreak will not have a long-term impact on Vital’s

position. However, there continues to be uncertainty as to the timeframe in which the impacts of COVID-19 will be felt given factors like the evolution of new variants of the virus and the

complexity associated with the timing and logistics of vaccine roll outs. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact Vital’sbusiness during this period will depend on future developments

which are difficult to predict, including the extent and duration of government mandated lock downs, legislative responses toCOVID-19, work stoppages and travel restrictions, as well as

the ability of Vital’stenants to continue to operate their businesses profitably.

Even after the COVID-19 outbreak has subsided, Vital may experience material adverse impacts to its business as a result of its local and global economic impacts, including any related

recession. Certain aspects of Vital’sbusiness and operations that could be adversely impacted include, among others, rental income, occupancy, tenant improvements, future demand for

space and market rents, which all ultimately impact the underlying valuation of investment property.

Foreign exchange

risk

Vital is a New Zealand registered managed investment scheme with unitholders who are mostly in New Zealand, but a portfolio of property assets that are predominantly located in

Australia. Vital is exposed to foreign exchange risk in relation to its net investment in, and net income from, its Australian properties as Vital reports and makes distribution payments in

New Zealand dollars. Fluctuations in exchange rates, particularly the AUD$/NZD$ exchange rate, may impact Vital’searnings and asset values, to the extent that they are not hedged or

forecast.

Indices inclusion

Vital’sunits are eligible for inclusion in a number of indices, such as the S&P NZX 50 index. Inclusion in a market index is generallydetermined by reference to a methodology that is set by

the index provider. Component parts of the methodology are often outside Vital’scontrol, such as trading volumes. The constituent members of market indices are periodically reviewed,

based on the prescribed methodology. Vital may be added to, or removed from, a market index following a periodic review. Vital’sunit price can be affected as a result. Further, Vital’sunit

price can be affected by market participants anticipating that Vital will be added to, or removed from, a market index at an upcoming periodic review. The impact on Vital’sunit price can be

material and adverse. Vital does not get advance notice of index changes before they are publicly announced (and generally available to the market).

In particular, Vital understands that some market participants anticipated that Vital would be included in the FTSE EPRA / NAREIT index in September 2021. That anticipation appeared to

lead to some increase in Vital’sunit price. Vital was not included, which then appeared to have an adverse impact on its unit price. The next periodic reviewfor that index is in March 2022

and it may be that Vital is included as a result of that review, although whether or not it is included is outside of Vital’scontrol.

KEY RISKS (2/3)
10

VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST

Tenants and rental

income

Vital’sfinancial performance is dependent on the maintenance of its tenancies and their success. Vital is exposed to counterparty riskwhere its tenants are unable to fulfil their contractual

obligations, including the payment of rent, which may be heightened in the current economic environment. A failure by Vital’stenants to fulfil their contractual obligations could affect the

operating and financial performance of Vital.

The severity of this risk is heightened by the COVID-19 pandemic and Government regulations implemented to mitigate the spread of the virus. Restrictions on elective surgeries, the

general movement of people and access to premises, increased uncertainty and economic downturn, as well as other unforeseeable factors, may adversely affect the financial position of

tenants and, in turn, their ability to comply with their contractual lease obligations. In some cases, Vital’sability to manage tenant performance issues could be adversely affected by

moratorium legislation restricting the ability of landlords to manage tenant performance impacted by COVID-19 or limiting the recourse of landlords to tenants for defaults. As a result, it

may not be possible for Vital to recover unpaid rent or replace tenants on terms where Vital can achieve the same lease terms, including rental and tenure.

These factors may materially affect the operating and financial performance and prospects of Vital.

Property

valuations

Valuations ascribed to any property are influenced by a number of factors including:

Supply and demand for property (in Vital’scase, typically healthcare properties);

General property market conditions; and

The ability to attract and implement economically viable rental arrangements.

Vital’sinvestment properties are carried at fair value. This fair value is determined by external valuations conducted by independent experts in reliance on market evidence and underlying

assumptions at the time of the valuations. The market evidence relied on, and the assumptions made, at the time of the valuations may not reflect current market conditions. In particular,

some independent professionally qualified valuersadvise that the valuations are reported on the basis of significant valuation uncertainty because they consider transactionalmarket

evidence is being impacted by the continued uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

As changes in valuations of investment properties are required to be reflected in Vital’sincome statement, any decreases in value will have a negative impact on Vital’sincome statement.

A valuation fall would also impact the price at which Vital would be able to sell the property in the market (which may be belowthe price paid for the property or the current market value)

and could affect Vital’sability to raise funds or its ability to comply with its banking covenants. In addition, while the independent valuations represent the best estimate of the independent

valuers, they may not reflect the actual price a property would realiseif sold.

KEY RISKS (3/3)
11

VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST

Funding

Vital’sability to raise funds on favourableterms, or at all, for future activities is dependent on a number of factors including general economic, political, capital and credit market conditions.

This includes Vital’sability to be able to refinance its existing debt facilities on terms which are no less favourablethan the current terms.

If Vital is unable to raise funds on favourableterms, or at all, Vital’sability to acquire or develop new properties or refinance its existing debt may be adversely affected. Fluctuations in

interest rates, to the extent that they are not hedged or forecast, may also increase Vital’soperating costs and impact its financial performance.

Reliance on

management

services and key

personnel

Vital is a managed investment scheme registered under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. As a result, Vital does not engageor employ any directors or employees of its own.

Instead, Vital is reliant upon the management services provided by its manager. These services include the day-to-day managementof Vital’sportfolio of properties and assets, negotiating

the acquisition and disposal of assets, development and construction planning and management, treasury and funding management, ensuring Vital meets its financial, reporting and other

statutory and regulatory obligations and communicating with unitholders and the market.

If the management services provided by the Manager were terminated for whatever reason, and Vital was unable to find a replacement manager, Vital may not be able to operate and/or

perform its contractual obligations.

Vital is also subject to key personnel risk to the extent that the quality of the management services that it receives drive itsfinancial performance. If Vital was unable to obtain high quality

management services from an experienced manager with a wide range of expertise, the growth of Vital and the rate of return itdelivers to its investors may decline.

Future

distributions

Distributions made by Vital are largely dependent on the rents received from tenants across the portfolio and expenses incurred during operations, which may be affected by a number of

factors, including:

overall economic conditions;

the financial performance of tenants (both now and in the future);

the ability to negotiate lease extensions or replace outgoing tenants with new tenants;

the occurrence of rental arrears,COVID-19 rental abatements or any vacancy periods;

reliance on a tenant which leases a material portion of Vital’sportfolio;

an increase in unrecoverable outgoings; and

supply and demand in the property market.

Any negative impact on rental income (including as a result of a failure of existing tenants to perform existing leases in accordance with their terms) has the potential to decrease the value

of Vital and have an adverse impact on distributions or the value of units or both.

The Board has provided its view on the distributions that it expects Vital to be able to declare for the FY22 financial year of 9.50 cents per unit. That view is based on Vital’sbusiness plan

and internal forecasts, taking into account the currently expected effect on net rental income and total expenses of COVID-19. The Board believes the assumptions underlying this

guidance are reasonable given its discussions with tenants, the high level of Government support for healthcare operators, the high-priority nature of healthcare spending and Vital’s

contractual position, but may be impacted by legislation changes, further waves of COVID-19 and lockdown restrictions. Distributions for FY22 or any other period are not certain and

distributions remain payable at the discretion of the Board. No return is guaranteed by the Manager, its Board or any other person.
