More information about the guarantees given by GMT and the
GMT Group Companies is set out in Section 5.3 (Ranking and
security) of this PDS.
HOW YOU CAN GET YOUR
MONEY OUT EARLY
The Issuer does not have any right to repay your Green Bonds
before the Maturity Date. Similarly, you have no right to request
that your Green Bonds be repaid early unless an Event of Default
has occurred. See Section 5.3 (Ranking and security) of this PDS
under “Events of Default” for more information.
The Issuer intends to quote these Green Bonds on the NZX Debt

on factors such as the financial condition of the GMT Group and
movements in the market interest rates. You may receive less

HOW GREEN BONDS RANK

will rank:
+behind holders of prior-ranking security interests and holders
of claims on the GMT Group that are preferred by law;

secured claims on the GMT Group that rank equally with the
Green Bonds; and
+ahead of claims of holders of lower ranking secured claims,
holders of unsecured claims on the GMT Group and GMT’s

Section 5.3 (Ranking and security) of this PDS contains more
information about the ranking of the Green Bonds.
WHAT ASSETS ARE THESE

GMT Group Company (including the Issuer) over all of their assets
together with first ranking Mortgages given over their freehold and
leasehold land. The security interests and Mortgages do not
extend to certain excluded assets.
More information about the security interests given by the GMT
Group Companies is set out in Section 5.3 (Ranking and security)
of this PDS.
2
KEY RISKS AFFECTING
THIS INVESTMENT
Investments in debt securities have risks. A key risk is that the Issuer
does not meet its commitments to repay you or pay you interest
(credit risk). Section 6 of the PDS (risks of investing) discusses the
main factors that give rise to the risk. You should consider if the credit
risk of these debt securities is suitable for you.
The interest rate for these Green Bonds should also reflect the
degree of credit risk. In general, higher returns are demanded by
investors from businesses with higher risk of defaulting on their
commitments. You need to decide whether the offer is fair. The
Issuer considers that the most significant risk factors are:
+Valuation of the GMT Group’s properties and the income
derived from those properties: the risk of adverse changes
in New Zealand’s industrial property market, in particular in
the Auckland region (where all of the GMT Group’s properties
are located). This includes changes in business conditions
that impact the GMT Group’s customers, a large proportion
of which operate in the logistics sector. This could have a
negative impact on rental returns from, or the market value of,
the GMT Group’s properties. A reduction or interruption in
rental income could materially negatively impact the GMT
Group’s financial performance.
+Development of properties: the risk that the GMT Group is
unable to complete one or more developments on time and at
the budgeted cost. Development of properties is an important
component of the GMT Group’s business, and if it is unable to
acquire suitable properties or complete any material
developments in a timely manner, then additional costs or
claims may arise. These circumstances may have a negative
impact on the financial performance of the GMT Group.
The Issuer has identified its most significant risk factors as being
the significant risk factors for the GMT Group. This is because:
+The Issuer is a special purpose financing company, and so its
ability to pay interest on and repay the Green Bonds depends
on GMT making interest payments on and repaying the
GMT Loan.
+The Issuer’s obligations under the Green Bonds are
supported by the Green Bond Guarantee given by GMT,
the GMT Group Guarantee given by each GMT Group
Company and the security interests given by the GMT
Group Companies (including the Issuer).
This summary does not cover all of the risks of investing in the
Green Bonds. You should also read Sections 5 (Key features of
Green Bonds) and 6 (Risks of investing) of this PDS.
WHAT IS THE GREEN BONDS’
CREDIT RATING?
A credit rating is an independent opinion of the capability and
willingness of an entity to repay its debts (in other words, its
creditworthiness). It is not a guarantee that the financial product
being offered is a safe investment. A credit rating should be
considered alongside all other relevant information when making
an investment decision.
The Green Bonds have been rated by S&P Global Ratings
Australia Pty Limited (S&P). S&P gives ratings from AAA through
to C, excluding ratings attached to entities in default.
Credit ratings by S&P may be modified by the addition of a plus (+)
or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the major rating
categories and can be suspended, varied or withdrawn at any time.
As at the date of this PDS, the Green Bonds have a credit rating
of BBB+ from S&P.

The Issuer will on-lend all of the proceeds of the Offer to GMT
under the GMT Loan.
GMT is focused on sustainable investment through the creation of
a high-quality urban logistics portfolio. To support its commitment
to sustainable assets and outcomes, GMT has developed the
Sustainable Finance Framework, which applies to the GMT Group
(including GMT and the Issuer). In particular, GMT has developed
and adopted the Sustainable Finance Framework to ensure that,
as at the date of this PDS, its processes for evaluating and
selecting Eligible Assets and managing and reporting on the use
of the proceeds of the Green Bonds are consistent with the Green
Bond Principles.
Once on-lent to GMT, the proceeds of the Offer are intended to
be allocated to finance or refinance, wholly or in part, Eligible
Assets in accordance with the Sustainable Finance Framework.
As at the date of this PDS, once on-lent to GMT, GMT intends to:
+use the proceeds of the Offer to refinance existing bank debt;
and
+allocate an amount equal to the proceeds of the Offer:
—first, to the Eligible Assets set out in the table below,
which are currently being developed and have been
verified as targeting a NZGBC 5 Green Star Design and /
or Built rating. These Eligible Assets are, as at the date of
this PDS, the only Eligible Assets under the Sustainable
Finance Framework,
then
—any proceeds that are not allocated to the Eligible
Assets set out in the table below, will be allocated to
Eligible Assets within 24 months of the Issue Date.

The GMT Group is currently developing new buildings
at each of the properties set out in the table above.
As at the date of this PDS, all of these developments are
expected to be completed by May 2023. Once an
Eligible Asset set out in the table above is complete and
occupied by a customer, GMT expects that rental
income generated by each Eligible Asset will contribute
to an increase in the GMT Group’s revenue.
Further details on these Eligible Assets can be found
in the initial Eligible Assets register, which is available
on the Disclose register.
This purpose will not change, irrespective of the total amount that
is raised. However, GMT may reallocate the proceeds to other
Eligible Assets in accordance with the Sustainable Finance
Framework in the future.
As at the date of this PDS, the Sustainable Finance Framework
provides that the total value of Eligible Assets will be at least equal
to the aggregate amount of all of the GMT Group’s outstanding
green financing (including the Green Bonds), subject to temporary
management of unallocated proceeds. Any proceeds that are
not allocated to Eligible Assets will be used to repay revolving
bank debt or invested in cash deposits or cash equivalents until
such time as those proceeds are able to be reallocated to
Eligible Assets.
If any member of the GMT Group (including GMT and the Issuer)
fails to comply with the Sustainable Finance Framework or satisfy
any sustainable finance market principles and guidelines as set
out in the Sustainable Finance Framework (including the Green
Bond Principles) or if the Green Bonds cease to satisfy the Green
Bond Principles:
+this does not constitute an Event of Default or any other
breach in relation to the Green Bonds;
+there is no requirement on the Issuer to repay the Green
Bonds early; and
+the Green Bonds may cease to be labelled as ‘green’.
This means there is no legal obligation on any member of the GMT
Group to comply with the Sustainable Finance Framework or
satisfy any sustainable finance market principles and guidelines
as set out in the Sustainable Finance Framework (including the
Green Bond Principles) on an ongoing basis. See Section 5 (Key
features of Green Bonds) of this PDS for more information.
The Offer is not underwritten.

5 Key features of Green Bonds
5.1 General
A number of the key features of the Green Bonds are described in
Section 3 (Terms of the Offer) of this PDS. Other key features of
the Green Bonds and further details about some of the key
features described in Section 3 (Terms of the Offer) of this PDS
are described below. Copies of the Trust Deed, the Green Bond
Guarantee, the GMT Group Guarantee, the Security Trust Deed,
the terms of the Mortgages, the Sustainable Finance Framework,
the initial Eligible Assets register and EY’s independent limited
assurance report (as described below) are included on the
Disclose register.
5.2 Compliance with the Green
Bond Principles and the
Sustainable Finance
Framework
To confirm the integrity of the Green Bonds as a “green”
instrument, GMT has ensured that, as at the date of this PDS, the
Green Bonds comply with the Green Bond Principles. The Green
Bond Principles are voluntary process guidelines for issuing
green bonds published by the International Capital Markets
Association or ICMA. They may be amended by ICMA from time
to time. As at the date of this PDS, the Green Bond Principles
establish four core components for an instrument to be
considered to be a green bond:
+Use of proceeds: The proceeds of the green bond must be
used to finance or refinance assets or other projects that
have clear environmental benefits.
+Process for project evaluation and selection: The issuer
should provide clear information to investors about the
issuer’s environmental sustainability objectives of the eligible
projects; the process for evaluating eligible projects and
associated environmental and social risks; and the eligibility
criteria.
+Management of proceeds: The issuer should have internal
processes to track and attest to the use of the proceeds of
the green bond.
+Reporting: The issuer should make, and keep, readily
available up to date information on the use of the proceeds
of the green bond.
The Green Bond Principles also recommend the use of an
external review provider to assess (through a pre-issuance
external review) the alignment of the green bond and/or
framework with the components of the Green Bond Principles.
Post-issuance, the Green Bond Principles recommend the use of
an auditor or third party to verify the internal tracking and
allocation of the proceeds to eligible green projects.
GMT has developed and adopted the Sustainable Finance
Framework to address the Green Bond Principles.
Set out below is a summary of the way in which the
Sustainable Finance Framework addresses the Green
Bond Principles as at the date of this PDS. GMT may
amend the Sustainable Finance Framework from time
to time. Any amendments to the Sustainable Finance
Framework would apply to these Green Bonds. There is,
however, no legal obligation on any member of the GMT
Group (including GMT and the Issuer) to comply with
the Sustainable Finance Framework or satisfy any
sustainable finance market principles and guidelines as
set out in the Sustainable Finance Framework (including
the Green Bond Principles) on an ongoing basis.
Use of proceeds
As described in Section 4 (Purpose of the Offer) of this PDS, the
Issuer will on-lend all of the proceeds of the Offer to GMT under
the GMT Loan. Once on-lent to GMT, the proceeds of the Green
Bonds are intended to be allocated to finance or refinance, wholly
or in part, Eligible Assets in accordance with the Sustainable
Finance Framework.
GMT may hold and/or undertake development of non-Eligible
Assets outside of the Sustainable Finance Framework.
Process for evaluation and selection of Eligible Assets
Categories for eligible projects under the Green Bond Principles
include “green buildings that meet regional, national or
internationally recognised standards or certifications for
environmental performance.” Under the Sustainable Finance
Framework, when determining if an asset is an Eligible Asset,
GMT will use the following national standards:
+the New Zealand Green Building Council’s Green Star rating
system, an independent certification that can be used to
assess the sustainability attributes of both new
developments and existing buildings; and
+the NABERSNZ rating tool, an independent system for
assessing the energy efficiency of office buildings.
To be eligible to be an Eligible Asset, existing properties,
properties under development and property upgrade projects
must meet one of the following:
+Certified as obtaining, or verified as targeting, a minimum
NZGBC 5 Green Star Design and / or Built rating;
+Certified as obtaining, or verified as targeting, a minimum
NZGBC 4 Green Star Performance rating; or
+Certified as obtaining, or verified as targeting, a minimum
NABERSNZ 4 Star Energy Base Building rating or Energy
Whole Building rating.
Once a building has met the relevant eligibility criteria, it can be
included as an Eligible Asset.
GMT’s Corporate Social Responsibility Committee, which
includes senior executives and experts from across GMT’s
business, oversees the processes to ensure that Eligible Assets
are identified and evaluated in accordance with the Sustainable
Finance Framework. The Committee reports to the board of the
Manager at each of its quarterly meetings.
11
Management of proceeds
The Sustainable Finance Framework provides that GMT will
maintain an Eligible Assets register that includes their market
value, or project cost where a separate market valuation has not
yet been obtained, and the current or targeted Green Star or
NABERSNZ rating that supports the Eligible Asset classification.
Under the Sustainable Finance Framework:
+GMT will ensure an amount equal to the proceeds from green
financing is allocated to Eligible Assets within 24 months of
issuance or receipt.
+GMT will endeavour to prioritise the financing of new Eligible
Assets when allocating proceeds from green financing.
+In the case of refinancing:
—development spend on green buildings will be
incorporated as an Eligible Asset if that spend has been
funded by GMT no more than three years before the
date of issuance of or entry into the relevant green
financing; and
—land acquisition costs will be incorporated as an Eligible
Asset if that land has on it (as at the date of inclusion as
an Eligible Asset) existing properties, properties under
development or property upgrade projects that meet
the eligibility criteria set out above under “Process for
evaluation and selection of Eligible Assets”.
+Any proceeds that are not allocated to Eligible Assets will be
used to repay revolving bank debt or invested in cash
deposits or cash equivalents until such time as those
proceeds are able to be reallocated to Eligible Assets.
Reporting
The Sustainable Finance Framework provides for GMT to:
+publish annual use of proceeds and impact reporting; and
+report on any changes to the Sustainable Finance
Framework as soon as practicable after those changes
are made.
External review
Ernst & Young Limited (EY) has provided an independent review
of the Sustainable Finance Framework and the initial Eligible
Assets register against the Green Bond Principles. Following that
review, EY has issued a limited assurance report concluding that
nothing came to EY’s attention that caused it to believe that the
Sustainable Finance Framework and the initial Eligible Assets
register have not been presented, in all material respects, fairly
and in accordance with the Green Bond Principles and the
Sustainable Finance Framework, respectively.
EY has consented to statements regarding its role in relation to
the Green Bonds and the confirmations given in the limited
assurance report issued by EY being included in this PDS and
the Disclose register.
In addition, the Sustainable Finance Framework provides that an
annual independent review will be undertaken by an independent
verifier upon the use of proceeds and impact reporting in relation
to the Sustainable Finance Framework, Eligible Assets and the
Green Bonds. As at the date of this PDS, the independent verifier
i s E Y.
No Event of Default
If:
+any member of the GMT Group (including GMT and
the Issuer) fails to allocate the proceeds of the Green
Bonds as described in Section 4 (Purpose of the
Offer) of this PDS;
+any member of the GMT Group fails to comply with
the Sustainable Finance Framework or satisfy any
sustainable finance market principles and guidelines
as set out in the Sustainable Finance Framework
(including the Green Bond Principles);
+the Green Bonds cease to satisfy the Green Bond
Principles; or
+any member of the GMT Group fails to notify Holders
that the Green Bonds cease to comply with the
Sustainable Finance Framework or the Green Bond
Principles,
then:
+no Event of Default will occur in relation to the Green
Bonds; and
+neither you nor the Issuer have any right for the Green
Bonds to be repaid early.
The Issuer’s obligations under the Trust Deed are not
affected by the labelling of the bonds as Green Bonds,
and any breach of the Trust Deed (including in relation to
non-compliance with any laws, directives and consents,
whether environmental or otherwise) is to be determined
without regard to any such Green Bond label, the
Sustainable Finance Framework or any sustainable finance
market principles and guidelines as set out in the
Sustainable Finance Framework (including the Green
Bond Principles).
If any of the above scenarios occur, the bonds may cease
to be labelled as Green Bonds. If the bonds cease to be
labelled as Green Bonds, then GMT will set out this
information in GMT’s annual use of proceeds reporting and,
from that point in time, the Sustainable Finance Framework
will no longer govern the management of the bonds.
This means there is no legal obligation on any member of
the GMT Group (including GMT and the Issuer) to comply
with the Sustainable Finance Framework or satisfy any
sustainable finance market principles and guidelines as set
out in the Sustainable Finance Framework (including the
Green Bond Principles) on an ongoing basis.
The Supervisor has no obligations in relation to the
application of the proceeds of the Green Bonds.
12
5.3 Ranking and security
RANKING
The Issuer is a special purpose financing company for the GMT
Group. The Issuer will on-lend the proceeds of the Offer to GMT
under the GMT Loan. This means the Issuer’s ability to pay
interest on and repay the Green Bonds depends on GMT making
interest payments on and repaying the GMT Loan.
In addition, the Issuer’s obligations under the Green Bonds are
supported by the Green Bond Guarantee given by GMT, the GMT
Group Guarantee given by each GMT Group Company and the
security interests given by the GMT Group Companies (including
the Issuer).
These factors mean that it is important to understand where the
Green Bonds would rank in a liquidation of the GMT Group.
The following diagram shows how the liabilities of the GMT Group,
including the Green Bonds, rank in the liquidation of the GMT
Group. The diagram does not describe every type of liability or
security that the GMT Group may have over the term of the
Green Bonds.

Basis of preparation of table
1. The amounts in this table are based on the GMT Group’s half-year financial statements prepared as at 30 September 2021
but adjusted to assume NZ$150 million (including NZ$50 million of oversubscriptions) of Green Bonds are issued under the
Offer and that the proceeds of the Green Bonds are on-lent to GMT to be used to refinance GMT’s existing bank debt. As at
30 September 2021, GMT had existing bank debt of NZ$90 million, which is less than the assumed issue size of NZ$150 million.
This has increased by NZ$60 million the liabilities that rank equally with the Green Bonds derived from the GMT Group’s half-year
financial statements prepared as at 30 September 2021. If less than NZ$150 million of Green Bonds are issued, the amount of
liabilities that rank equally with the Green Bonds will be lower. Amounts are subject to rounding adjustments.
2. Liabilities that rank in priority to the Green Bonds on a liquidation include certain amounts payable to the Inland Revenue.
There are typically other liabilities which arise in a liquidation and which may rank in priority to the Green Bonds, such as
enforcement costs and liquidation costs, which are not possible to foresee and cannot therefore be quantified.
3. This table assumes that the proceeds of the Green Bonds are on-lent to GMT to be used by GMT to refinance existing bank debt,
which ranks equally with the Green Bonds.

OVERVIEW OF THE SECURITY GIVEN
BY GMT GROUP COMPANIES
AND GUARANTEES
The Issuer’s obligations under the Green Bonds are:
+guaranteed by GMT under the Green Bond Guarantee.
GMT’s obligations under this guarantee are in turn
guaranteed by each GMT Group Company under the GMT
Group Guarantee;
+guaranteed by each GMT Group Company under the GMT
Group Guarantee; and
+secured against the assets of the Issuer and the other GMT
Group Companies (other than certain excluded assets)
under the GMT Group Guarantee. These security interests
secure the Green Bonds and other obligations of the GMT
Group Companies to the Beneficiaries (including the
Holders) under the GMT Group’s financing arrangements.
The below diagram provides an overview of these guarantee and
security arrangements as at the date of this PDS. In this diagram,
dotted lines indicate guarantees or security and solid lines
indicate ownership:
As at the date of this PDS, no GMT Group Company has given a
general security interest over all of its assets in favour of any other
creditor. However as described below under “Restrictions on
creating further secured liabilities”, each GMT Group Company is
permitted to grant security interests to other creditors in certain
circumstances.
The security interests and Mortgages are held by NZGT (GMT)
Security Trustee Limited as Security Trustee. The Security
Trustee holds those security interests on trust for the
Beneficiaries. As at the date of this PDS, the Beneficiaries are:
+the Holders (in relation to the Green Bonds);
+holders of the Goodman+Bonds;
+the Supervisor;
+certain financial institutions who provide lending facilities
and/or derivatives to GMT;
+the facility agent under GMT’s lending facilities;
+the holders of GMT’s US private placement notes; and
+the Security Trustee (on its own account and as security
trustee under the Security Trust Deed).
Other persons may become Beneficiaries in the future.
The Security Trustee may, in certain circumstances, release the
security interests held over Secured Assets without the consent
of Holders. However, it can only do this if, among other things, it
will not cause a breach of the terms of the Green Bonds (for
example, the loan to value ratio in the Trust Deed (see
“Restrictions on creating further secured liabilities” below)).
As at 30 September 2021, based on the GMT Group’s half-year
financial statements prepared as at 30 September 2021 but
adjusted to assume NZ$150 million (including NZ$50 million of
oversubscriptions) of Green Bonds are issued under the Offer
and that the proceeds of the Green Bonds are on-lent to GMT to
be used to refinance GMT’s existing bank debt:
+The amount of the GMT Group's liabilities that are secured in
favour of the Security Trustee is NZ$817.2 million. This is an
increase of NZ$60 million from the amount derived from the
GMT Group's half-year financial statements prepared as at
30 September 2021 because, at that date, GMT had existing
bank debt of NZ$90 million, which is less than the assumed
issue size of NZ$150 million.
+The total value of the Secured Assets, being the assets
secured in relation to those liabilities, is NZ$4,072.1 million.
As at 23 March 2022, adjusted to assume NZ$150 million
(including NZ$50 million of oversubscriptions) of Green Bonds
are issued under the Offer and that the proceeds of the Green
Bonds are on-lent to GMT to be used to refinance GMT’s existing
bank debt:
+The amount of the GMT Group’s liabilities that are secured in
favour of the Security Trustee is NZ$1,016.8 million.
+The total value of the Secured Assets, being the assets
secured in relation to those liabilities, is NZ$4,309.2 million.
The issue of the Green Bonds does not impact on the amount of
the GMT Group’s secured liabilities as the proceeds of the Green
Bonds will be on-lent to GMT to be used by GMT to refinance
existing bank debt, which ranks equally with the Green Bonds.
These guarantee and security arrangements are described in
more detail below.
SECURITY GIVEN BY
GMT GROUP COMPANIES
GMT has not given any security interest over its assets in support
of the Green Bond Guarantee. However, as the parent of the GMT
Group, GMT’s only significant assets are the shares that it holds in
the GMT Group Companies, intercompany loans made to
members of the GMT Group and other financial instruments.
Each GMT Group Company (including the Issuer) has given a
security interest over all of its assets together with first ranking
Mortgage(s) given over its freehold and leasehold land. The
security interests and Mortgages do not extend to certain
excluded assets. The excluded assets are principally land that:
+does not need to be secured in order to meet the loan to
value ratio in the Trust Deed (see “Restrictions on creating
further secured liabilities” below); or
+has a value of less than or equal to NZ$100 million.
The documents that create or govern the security given by the
GMT Group Companies are:
+the Security Trust Deed; and
+the GMT Group Guarantee, which creates the security
interests over all of the GMT Group Companies’ assets,
other than certain excluded assets; and
+the Mortgages.

GUARANTEES
Green Bond Guarantee
GMT has, under the Green Bond Guarantee, given an unconditional
guarantee of the Issuer’s obligations under the Green Bonds. The
guarantee is limited to the assets held by Covenant Trustee
Services Limited as trustee of GMT and is not secured.
GMT Group Guarantee
As at the date of this PDS, the GMT Group Companies are certain
wholly owned subsidiaries of GMT, being Goodman Property
Aggregated Limited, Goodman Nominee (NZ) Limited, Goodman
(Highbrook) Limited, Highbrook Development Limited, Highbrook
Business Park Limited, Henshaw Goodman Limited, Henshaw
Holdings Limited, the Issuer and GMT Wholesale Bond Issuer
Limited. GMT has a wholly owned subsidiary, Highbrook
Management Limited, that is not a GMT Group Company as it
has no assets or liabilities and is non-active.
Each GMT Group Company has given an unconditional and
unlimited guarantee of GMT’s obligations under the Green Bond
Guarantee, and GMT’s other obligations to the Beneficiaries.
Each GMT Group Company has also given an unconditional and
unlimited guarantee of each other GMT Group Company’s
obligations to the Beneficiaries.
In addition, each GMT Group Company has given a security
interest to the Security Trustee over all of its assets together with
first ranking Mortgage(s) given over its freehold and leasehold
land to secure its guarantee obligations to the Beneficiaries.
The security interests and Mortgages do not extend to certain
excluded assets (see “Security given by GMT Group Companies”
above).
The Secured Assets of the GMT Group Companies are sufficient
and are reasonably likely to be sufficient to:
+pay all amounts that may become owing under the guarantee
given by the GMT Group Companies in respect of their
obligations to the Beneficiaries; and
+pay all other secured liabilities that rank equally with or in
priority to each GMT Group Company’s obligations under
that guarantee.
GMT and all of the GMT Group Companies are part of the
GMT Group. The GMT Group comprises GMT and its
subsidiaries, being the GMT Group Companies and Highbrook
Management Limited.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Your Green Bonds will only become repayable before the Maturity
Date if an “Event of Default” occurs.
The Events of Default are set out in the Trust Deed. In summary,
they include:
+the Issuer failing to pay any Principal Amount or interest due
on the Green Bonds;
+the Issuer failing to comply with any of its other material
obligations under the Trust Deed;
+GMT failing to comply with any of its obligations under the
Green Bond Guarantee;
+the Issuer making a material misrepresentation under the
Trust Deed;
+GMT making a material misrepresentation under the Green
Bond Guarantee;
+the Green Bond Guarantee being terminated or amended or
waived, in a manner materially adverse to the interests of the
Holders;
+an insolvency event occurring in relation to the Issuer or GMT;
+the Issuer or GMT having to repay more than NZ$10 million
(in total) of other indebtedness before its due date because
of a default; or
+the loan to value ratio in the Trust Deed being breached and
not remedied within the grace periods set out in the Trust
Deed. The grace periods are described below under
“Restrictions on creating further secured liabilities”.
This summary does not list all of the Events of Default or provide
full details of the Events of Default. For example, in some cases,
the Events of Default are subject to thresholds or allow grace
periods for the event to be remedied. See clause 12.1 of the Trust
Deed for full details of the Events of Default.
If an Event of Default occurs, the Supervisor will declare that the
Green Bonds are immediately due and payable if:
+the Supervisor exercises its discretion to do this; or
+a Major Event of Default occurs. A “Major Event of Default”
occurs if, in summary:
—the Issuer fails to pay any Principal Amount or interest
due on the Green Bonds (subject to applicable grace
periods);
—the Issuer or GMT having to repay more than
NZ$10 million (in total) of other indebtedness before its
due date because of a default; or
—the loan to value ratio in the Trust Deed being breached
and not remedied within the grace periods set out in the
Trust Deed; or
+the Supervisor is directed to do this by a Special Resolution.
If the Supervisor declares that the Green Bonds are immediately
due and payable, the Issuer will need to repay you the Principal
Amount of your Green Bonds, together with accrued but unpaid
interest to the date of repayment.
SECURITY TRUST DEED
The Security Trustee holds the guarantee and security interests
under the GMT Group Guarantee for the benefit of all of the
Beneficiaries and they can only be enforced in accordance with
the Security Trust Deed. The Supervisor represents the Holders
in relation to the Security Trust Deed (that is, individual Holders do
not participate in the administration of the Security Trust Deed).
In summary:
+If an event of default occurs under any of the secured
liabilities (for example, an Event of Default under the Trust
Deed), the affected Beneficiary (or their representative) must
notify the Security Trustee, who then notifies the other
Beneficiaries (or their representatives). If the affected
Beneficiary (or their representative) wishes to enforce the
security interest, all Beneficiaries must first be consulted.
+Where Beneficiaries are unable to agree following a
consultation, either the majority, by value, (for this purpose,
generally 66 2/3 % of the Beneficiaries) or the affected
Beneficiary or group of Beneficiaries (or their representative)
has rights to direct the Security Trustee to enforce the
security interests in certain circumstances. For example, the
Supervisor can direct the Security Trustee to enforce the
security interests if a Major Event of Default has occurred.
However, if the Security Trustee receives conflicting instructions
from other Beneficiaries, the Security Trustee must appoint a
receiver over all the Secured Assets. Following the appointment
of the receiver, the Security Trustee can only act on the
instructions of a majority (by value) of the Beneficiaries.
15
The Security Trust Deed contains a number of other important
terms. These terms include:
+the rule that Holders may only enforce their rights under the
Security Trust Deed through the Supervisor;
+the rule that the Supervisor may only enforce the guarantee
and security interests given by each GMT Group Company
through the Security Trustee;
+rules relating to distributing the proceeds on enforcement
received by the Security Trustee;
+rules relating to how amendments, waivers and consents can
be made or given under the Security Trust Deed, the GMT
Group Guarantee and the Mortgages; and
+the powers and duties of the Security Trustee.
RESTRICTIONS ON CREATING
FURTHER SECURED LIABILITIES
The GMT Group can, at any time after the Issue Date, create
further liabilities that rank equally with or in priority to the Green
Bonds. These liabilities could, for example, be other secured
bonds. However, there are covenants in the Trust Deed, the Green
Bond Guarantee and GMT’s other financing documents that have
the effect of restricting the GMT Group’s ability to create further
liabilities that rank equally with or in priority to the Green Bonds.
Where those covenants are set out in GMT’s other financing
documents, those covenants are not terms of the Green Bonds so
you do not have the benefit of these. They may also be amended
or waived by the relevant financiers or Security Trustee, or expire if
those financing documents terminate before the Maturity Date.
Loan to value ratio in the Trust Deed
The Trust Deed contains a loan to value ratio. This ratio limits the
ability of the GMT Group to borrow money (in particular, money
that is secured over the Secured Assets) by broadly requiring the
Issuer to ensure that, for so long as any bonds of the Issuer under
the Master Trust Deed are outstanding, finance debt of the GMT
Group (which includes the hedged value of any foreign currency
debt) does not exceed 50% of the Security Pool Value.
If the loan to value ratio is breached under the Trust Deed, this must
be remedied within 6 months of the time that the non-compliance
is required to be reported to the Supervisor based on the Issuer
and the GMT Group’s half-yearly reports. If this covenant is not met
after that 6 month period, the Issuer must notify the Supervisor and
all Holders of the breach within 20 Business Days, together with its
plan to remedy the breach. If 6 months after this notice is given,
this covenant is still not met, an Event of Default occurs.
As at 30 September 2021, the loan to value ratio under the Trust
Deed was 18.4%.
Promise to not grant security interests under the
Trust Deed and the Green Bond Guarantee
Under the Trust Deed, the Issuer agrees not to create, or permit to
subsist, any other security interests over any of its assets or the
land that comprise the Security Pool.
Under the Green Bond Guarantee, GMT agrees not to create or
permit to subsist any security interest over, in relation to or
otherwise affecting, any of GMT’s assets.
However, there are a number of exceptions which allow the Issuer
and GMT to create or permit to subsist other security interests in
certain circumstances. For example:
+if the financial institutions who provide GMT’s lending
facilities agree;
+certain security interests that arise by operation of law; and
+other security interests provided that the total amount
secured by any of these permitted security interests does not
exceed 10% of the total tangible assets of the GMT Group.
Other restrictions on the GMT Group
The terms of GMT’s lending facilities and US private placement
notes also contain covenants that limit the ability of the GMT
Group to create further security interests or liabilities that rank
equally with or in priority to the Green Bonds.
These covenants are:
+a loan to value ratio similar to the loan to value ratio in the
Trust Deed, described under “Loan to value ratio in the
Trust Deed” above;
+a general restriction on creating other security interests,
subject to certain exceptions similar to those under “Promise
to not grant security interests under the Trust Deed and the
Green Bond Guarantee” above;
+a general restriction on incurring further indebtedness or
granting guarantees subject to certain exceptions, such as
where the relevant financial institutions agree or liabilities
incurred under bonds, the issuance of US private placement
notes or under commercial paper; and
+an interest cover ratio, which requires GMT to ensure that the
GMT Group’s earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation
and amortisation is not less than two times its interest
expense for each twelve-month period.
5.4 Green Bond Guarantee
covenants
Under the Green Bond Guarantee, GMT agrees to a number
of covenants in respect of the Green Bonds. In particular,
GMT agrees:
+to do everything within its control to procure compliance
by the Issuer with all of the Issuer’s obligations under the
Trust Deed;
+to not make any substantial change to the general nature of
GMT’s core business from that carried on at the date of the
Green Bond Guarantee; and
+to not make or attempt to make any distribution except
where no potential event of default or event of default under

6 Risks of investing
6.1 Introduction
This Section 6 describes potential risks associated with an
investment in the Green Bonds, being:
+general risks associated with an investment in the Green
Bonds; and
+significant specific risks relating to the Issuer’s
creditworthiness.
The Issuer is a special purpose financing company for the GMT
Group. The Issuer will on-lend the proceeds of the Offer to GMT
under the GMT Loan. This means the Issuer’s ability to pay
interest on and repay the Green Bonds depends on GMT making
interest payments on and repaying the GMT Loan.
In addition, the Issuer’s obligations under the Green Bonds are
supported by the Green Bond Guarantee given by GMT, the GMT
Group Guarantee given by each GMT Group Company and the
security interests given by the GMT Group Companies (including
the Issuer).
These factors mean that GMT and the GMT Group Companies’
creditworthiness is directly relevant to the Issuer’s ability to pay
interest on, and repay, the Green Bonds and this Section 6
therefore also describes significant specific risks relating to the
GMT Group’s creditworthiness.
The selection of risks relating to the Issuer’s and the GMT Group’s
creditworthiness has been based on an assessment of a
combination of the probability of a risk occurring and the impact
of the risk if it did occur. This assessment is based on the
knowledge of the directors of the Issuer as at the date of this PDS.
There is no guarantee or assurance that the significance of risks
will not change or that other risks will not arise over time.
You should carefully consider these risk factors (together with the
other information in this PDS) before deciding to invest in the
Green Bonds.
This summary does not cover all of the risks of investing in the
Green Bonds.
The statement of risks in this Section 6 does not take account of
the personal circumstances, financial position or investment
requirements of any particular investor. It is important, therefore,
that before making any investment decision, investors give
consideration to the suitability of an investment in the Green
Bonds in light of their individual risk profile for investments,
investment objectives and personal circumstances (including
financial and taxation issues).
6.2 General risks
An investment in the Green Bonds is subject to the following
general risks:
RISK OF INSOLVENCY OF THE
ISSUER AND THE GMT GROUP
The risk that the Issuer, GMT or one or more GMT Group
Companies becomes insolvent and is unable to meet its
obligations under the Green Bonds, the GMT Loan, the Green
Bond Guarantee or the GMT Group Guarantee (respectively).
In those circumstances, you may not be paid interest on, or repaid
the Principal Amount of, your Green Bonds when due or at all.
MARKET RISKS ASSOCIATED
WITH THE GREEN BONDS
If you wish to sell your Green Bonds before the Maturity Date, the
risk that you are unable to find a buyer or that the price you
receive is less than the amount you paid for the Green Bonds.
The market price of the Green Bonds may fluctuate
up or down and the Green Bonds may trade below
their Principal Amount
The market price of the Green Bonds on the NZX Debt Market
may fluctuate due to various factors, for example if GMT’s or the
Green Bonds’ ratings decrease or based on the level, direction
and volatility of market interest rates. The Interest Rate on the
Green Bonds will be fixed for the term of the Green Bonds, but if,
for example, market interest rates go up, the Interest Rate may
become less attractive compared to returns on other investments
during the term of the Green Bonds and vice versa.
The Green Bonds may trade at a market price below their
Principal Amount. This means that you may lose some of the
money you invested if you wish to sell your Green Bonds at a time
when the market price of the Green Bonds is lower than the
Principal Amount.
The liquidity of the Green Bonds may be low
The market for the Green Bonds may not be liquid and may be
less liquid than that of other securities issued by the Issuer or
comparable securities issued by other issuers.
If liquidity is low, there is a risk that if you wish to sell your Green
Bonds before the Maturity Date, you may not be able to do so
when you want to at an acceptable price, or at all.
The Green Bonds may cease to be labelled as ‘green’
If any member of the GMT Group (including GMT and the Issuer)
fails to comply with the Sustainable Finance Framework or satisfy
any sustainable finance market principles and guidelines as set
out in the Sustainable Finance Framework (including the Green
Bond Principles) or if the Green Bonds cease to satisfy the Green
Bond Principles, the Green Bonds may cease to be labelled as
‘green’. In addition, if market practices, standards, principles,
guidelines or regulations develop in a way that the Green Bonds
are not consistent with, the Green Bonds may cease to be labelled
as ‘green’.
17
In these circumstances, Holders that invested in Green Bonds on
the basis of the ‘green’ label or compliance with the Green Bond
Principles may consider that the Green Bonds no longer align with
their intentions or requirements.
If these circumstances occur, there is a risk that if you wish to sell
your Green Bonds, you may not be able to do so at an acceptable
price, or at all.
6.3 Specific risks relating to the
Issuer’s creditworthiness
The GMT Group is exposed to a number of risks that may affect
the business of the GMT Group and therefore the financial
performance and creditworthiness of the GMT Group.
The circumstances that the Issuer is aware of that exist or that are
likely to arise that significantly increase the risk that payments
may not be made on the Green Bonds when due are described
below. The assessment of these circumstances is based on the
business of the GMT Group as conducted as at the date of this
PDS. If the nature or scope of this business changes, other
circumstances or events could give rise to this risk.
CHANGES AFFECTING THE VALUATION
OF THE GMT GROUP’S PROPERTIES AND
THE INCOME DERIVED FROM THOSE
PROPERTIES
The performance of the GMT Group is subject to the prevailing
industrial property market conditions, particularly those
impacting Auckland where all the GMT Group’s properties
are located.
The GMT Group’s revenues (and therefore, the Issuer’s revenue)
depends on rental income received from customers occupying
the GMT Group’s properties. This is the GMT Group’s primary
source of income.
Adverse changes in industrial property market conditions could
have a negative impact on rental returns from, or the market value
of, the GMT Group’s properties. A reduction or interruption in
rental income could, if sustained and significant, materially
negatively impact the GMT Group’s financial performance and put
GMT and the Issuer at risk of breaching financial covenants under
the Trust Deed and/or GMT’s other financing arrangements.
Adverse changes in the Auckland industrial property market that
could impact the GMT Group may arise from several factors,
including, but not limited to:
+changes in economic or credit conditions where those events
specifically impact occupancy demand for industrial
property in Auckland, where all of GMT Group’s properties
are located;
+changes in business conditions leading to one or more of the
GMT Group’s key customers experiencing difficulty in
meeting their lease obligations or result in affected
customers being liquidated, entering bankruptcy or closing
their operations. These including force majeure type events
(such as natural disasters, war, pandemic) and their
consequences (such as commodity price uncertainty,
government restrictions and sanctions). For example, a large
proportion of GMT Group’s customers are in the logistics
sector, and the operating costs of their businesses are
impacted by the price of fuel. A significant increase in the
price of fuel could impact on the affected customers’
profitability and therefore impact their ability to meet their
obligations including paying rent to the GMT Group; and
+changes to laws or regulations that specifically impact
industrial property businesses, for example the obligation to
pay rent. As at the date of the PDS, there is legislation which
provides for rental abatement for customers that meet
certain criteria, which could be available to the GMT
Group’s customers.
DEVELOPMENT OF PROPERTIES
Development of properties is an important component of the
GMT Group’s business.
As at the date of this PDS, the GMT Group had NZ$475 million of
development work in progress. The GMT Group’s active
development programme relies on its ability to acquire suitable
sites for development and its ability to complete developments on
time and at the budgeted cost. The GMT Group often acquires
“brownfield” properties where there is an existing building and
look to redevelop the property which can impact on the timing of
development completions.
A significant proportion of acquisition and development costs for
these properties is funded by the GMT Group’s financing
arrangements. This means the GMT Group’s acquisition and
development pipeline requires the GMT Group to have access to
sufficient capital, both equity and external debt funding, which in
turn means it is important that the GMT Group complies with the
requirements (including financial covenants) of its financing
arrangements.
The availability of external debt funding depends on several
factors which may be out of the GMT Group’s control, such as
economic conditions, regulations that affect the availability and
cost of funding property businesses and lenders’ perception of
the GMT Group’s creditworthiness. The GMT Group has sought
to manage this risk by diversifying its sources of debt funding.
However, diversification cannot eliminate this risk.
If the GMT Group is unable to maintain sufficient debt funding or
refinance existing debt as and when required, it may be forced to
sell properties in unfavourable market conditions to repay that
debt, and its financial condition (and ability to complete
developments) may be significantly negatively affected.
In addition, there are risks in relation to undertaking a
development. These risks include industrial disputes, inclement
weather, labour and materials supply shortages, design risks,
health and safety issues, escalating construction costs,
construction difficulty, delays or default by a construction
contractor, the inability to contract with construction contractors
on the terms anticipated, including as to cost and timeframe and
the existence of latent liabilities, such as asbestos or other
hazardous materials.
For example, the COVID-19 pandemic and the actions taken by
the New Zealand and other governments in response to the
pandemic (including national and regional lockdowns and border
closures) have had a significant effect on the supply chain such
that the materials and labour for developments may not be
available in the required amounts or timeframes.
If the GMT Group is unable to complete a development in a timely
manner, then additional costs or claims may arise which may
have a negative impact on the financial performance of the
GMT Group.
18
NATURAL DISASTERS
Given all of the GMT Group’s properties are located in the
Auckland region, a natural disaster affecting Auckland could
impact a large proportion of the GMT Group’s properties.
The GMT Group has comprehensive material damage, business
interruption and public and statutory liability insurance covering
its properties and uses policy specifications and insured limits
customarily carried for similar property portfolios in New Zealand.
The scope of insurance will be dependent on several factors such
as the continued availability of cover, the nature of the risks to be
covered, extent of the proposed coverage and the costs involved.
There is a risk that insurance proceeds may not cover all the
costs resulting from an insurable event, that insurance claims may
be disputed after an insurable event, or that such an event makes
subsequent insurance cover difficult or costly to obtain.
In addition, there is no guarantee that all material damage and
business interruption claims will be recovered from insurers. If
such claims were not recovered this could impact the financial
performance and/or condition of the GMT Group.
7 Ta x
The returns on the Green Bonds will be affected by taxes. The
information in this Section 7 is based on the law in force at the
date of this PDS. Future changes to tax laws or other laws may
affect the tax consequences of an investment in Green Bonds.
If you are a New Zealand tax resident or otherwise receive
payments of interest on the Green Bonds that are subject to the
New Zealand resident withholding tax (RWT) rules, RWT will be
deducted from payments of interest to you at the relevant rate
unless evidence of your RWT-exempt status (as defined in the
Income Tax Act 2007) has been provided to the Registrar on or
before the record date for the relevant payment date.
There may be other tax consequences for Holders from acquiring
or disposing of the Green Bonds, including under the financial
arrangements rules in the Income Tax Act 2007.
If you have any questions regarding the tax consequences of
investing in the Green Bonds you should seek advice from a
tax adviser.
8 Ta x
consequences
for overseas
Holders
If you receive payments of interest on the Green Bonds that are
subject to the New Zealand non-resident withholding tax (NRWT)
rules, an amount equal to any NRWT or approved issuer levy (AIL)
payable (as applicable) will be deducted from payments of
interest to you. Future changes to tax laws or other laws may
affect the tax consequences of an investment in Green Bonds.
Except where you elect otherwise and the Issuer agrees, or it is
not possible under any law, the Issuer intends to apply the AIL
regime in order to reduce the rate of NRWT to zero percent. In
certain cases, AIL cannot be paid to reduce the rate of NRWT to
zero percent, for example, where a Holder holds the Green Bonds
jointly with a New Zealand tax resident. If the AIL regime changes,
the Issuer reserves the right not to pay AIL.
Overseas Holders may be subject to tax in their own jurisdiction.
If you have any questions regarding the tax consequences of
investing in the Green Bonds you should seek advice from a
tax adviser.

9 Selling restrictions
The Issuer has not taken and will not take any action which would
permit a public offering of Green Bonds, or possession or

+ The growth in e-commerce has accelerated with the pandemic. Consumers are
increasingly opting for the safety and convenience of online shopping and
contactless delivery
+ NZ customer expectations are rapidly changing, with 58%
1
choosing to buy from
one retailer over another because they offered same day delivery
+ Businesses are having to adapt to the growing online marketplace, with many
incorporating e-commerce fulfilment functions into existing warehouse operations
Well-located industrial real estate is recognised as essential
infrastructure for the digital economy, making it a highly sought after
asset class
+ Disruption in global supply chains is forcing local businesses to maintain higher
inventory levels, creating requirements for additional warehouse space
+ Increased demand has resulted in an acceleration of development, particularly in
infill locations
+ Demand for warehouse and logistics space is now exceeding supply in Auckland,
with Grade A vacancy falling to 0.5%

Where reference is made in this presentation to GMT issuing green bonds, this includes a reference to the Issuer
issuing such bonds and on-lending the proceeds to GMT
GREEN BOND
+ As part of GMT’s commitment to sustainability and to align its
financing with its sustainability ambitions, GMT established a
Sustainable Finance Framework (Framework) in March 2022
+ GMT will support the property sector’s response to help New
Zealand reduce emissions and provide a mechanism for investors to
contribute capital to achieve their sustainable investment objectives
+ The Framework sets out how GMT intends to:
−issue green bonds
1
via the Issuer (its wholly owned subsidiary); or
−enter into green loans
that will fund sustainable assets and outcomes to which it is
committed
This aligns with how GMT is committed to targeting 5 Green Star
Built ratings on all new developments
+ The Framework and these Green Bonds will be issued in
accordance with the Green Bond Principles issued by the
