MARKET RELEASE

16 February 2022

Vital Healthcare Property Trust (Vital) has acquired

1

~27,840 square metres of leasehold

land

2

in Campbelltown, Western Sydney for A$76.6m

3

including development of a

GenesisCare Cancer Centre.

The acquisition enables Vital to develop, over time, a leading healthcare precinct

exceeding 32,000 square metres of gross floor area in one of Australia's fastest growing

population zones in partnership with the landowner, Campbelltown City Council.

4

site. GenesisCare has pre-committed to lease the 2,713 square metre building plus

5


with annual fixed increases. GenesisCare is one of the leading providers of

integrated cancer care globally with 350 clinics across the US, UK, Australia and

Spain. The low site coverage allows for future expansion over time. Development is

expected to take 16 months from early 2022.

2. ~10,000 square metres of land for development of a proposed day surgery and

mental health facility. Vital's manager, NorthWest Healthcare Properties Limited, is

in advanced discussions with one of Australia's largest hospital operators in relation

development are dependent on finalising agreements with a suitable tenant or

tenants.

Fund Manager, Aaron Hockly said:

“A key focus for Vital is to acquire strategically located sites servicing a large, growing

population, so the opportunity to secure a site in the heart of Campbelltown, one of the

fastest growing cities in Australia, was a rare and valuable one.


We are pleased to announce the commencement of development of the Cancer

Centre of Excellence, which is the second in Vital's portfolio following our acquisition of

The Tennyson Centre in Adelaide in late 2021. The Campbelltown site is located 50km

south-west of the Sydney CBD and 20km south-west of Liverpool, where there is an

underservicing of private healthcare facilities. We are thrilled to expand our long-held

partnership with GenesisCare, who we will work with to deliver a market-leading cancer

centre and service the demand for cancer services in the South West Sydney growth

corridor.


In the longer term, we look forward to developing plans for a state-of-the-art healthcare

precinct at this site, bringing together the best healthcare providers and complementary

health services to improve and expand the delivery of health services to South West

Sydney."


GenesisCare, the largest private provider of integrated cancer care in Australia, is

currently implementing a national integrated cancer care programme to fix disrupted

care pathways caused by COVID-19. GenesisCare recently opened three new world-class

integrated cancer centres in northern Sydney, Maitland and Perth and acquired the

largest medical oncology provider in South Australia, Adelaide Oncology and

Haematology. In the next two years GenesisCare will open an additional six new centres,

three of which are in Sydney: Campbelltown, Frenchs Forest and Norwest.

General Manager for Genesis Care NSW, Fergus Rourke, said:

“We are excited to be extending our long-standing partnership with Vital Healthcare

Property Trust to deliver this critical service to patients from across South West Sydney

and the Southern Highlands.

South West Sydney is one of the fastest growing corridors in NSW and it is absolutely

critical that we invest in the right healthcare infrastructure to ensure the needs of cancer

patients are met now and in the future.

Our integrated cancer centre and research hub will provide patients access to radiation

oncology, medical oncology, allied health and wellness services, all in one convenient

location, as well as diagnostic imaging and pathology operated by trusted partners.

The centre will also have a strong focus on clinical trials and will provide patients access

to the latest state-of-the-art equipment and treatment advances."

The acquisition is consistent with Vital’s precinct and development strategies particularly

as a means to increase Vital's exposure to key population growth areas such as Sydney.


The acquisition, tenant incentive and fund-through development payments totalling

A$76.6m are expected to increase Vital's balance sheet gearing by ~1.7% on a stand-

alone basis over the stage 1 development period. Vital has previously announced ~$140m

of property valuation increases which are expected to be recorded as part of Vital's



VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST vhpt.co.nz

Managed by NorthWest Healthcare

Properties Management Limited



interim results (due to be released on 24 February 2022). Property revaluations are

expected to reduce balance sheet gearing by ~1.8% on a stand-alone basis, with NTA per

unit expected to be ~$3.12 (subject to audit confirmation).

An investor presentation including artists' impressions of built form is being released

contemporaneously with this announcement.
