Chair and
CEO’s Report
Dear Shareholders
The Boards of
Directors of Stride
Property Limited (SPL)
and Stride Investment
Management Limited
(SIML) (which together
form Stride Property
Group) are pleased
to deliver Stride’s
annual report for
FY22. Stride has
continued to pursue
its strategic objectives
during FY22, while
also navigating the
challenges presented
by COVID-19.
Stride’s focus on pursuing strategic objectives has resulted in material growth
in Stride’s assets under management (AUM), with AUM growing by over
$600 million, or 20%, during FY22, from $3 billion as at 31 March 2021 to
$3.6 billion as at 31 March 2022. This demonstrates Stride’s commitment
to growing its real estate investment management business, a business
that is managed by SIML, with SPL holding an investment in each Stride
Product. This growth in AUM has contributed to the growth in recurring base
management fees, with these fees growing 18.7%, from $13.5 million in
FY21 to $16.1 million in FY22.
FY22 saw SPL commence a process to list its office property owning
subsidiary, Fabric Property Limited (Fabric), as a separate listed entity. Due
to market conditions, the Board of SPL made the decision to withdraw the
demerger and initial public offering on 21 September 2021, which we believe
was in the best interests of Stride shareholders as well as Fabric investors.
Stride remains committed to its strategy of growing its real estate investment
management business, and we expect this will include the establishment of
Fabric as a separate Stride Product at the appropriate time. To that end,
Stride has continued to refine its office portfolio since September 2021,
including committing to the acquisition of 110 Carlton Gore Road,
Newmarket, Auckland
1
, an office building that is currently under development
and targeting a 6 star Green Star Design & As Built rating, and the divestment
of four B grade office properties
2
from the existing office portfolio.
Collectively, these transactions further improve the overall quality and
sustainability of the Stride office portfolio, which we consider will ensure the
portfolio meets the demands of the market and has “enduring demand”.
Financial performance
Stride has again delivered positive financial results for FY22. Net rental
income at $65.8 million was $15.1 million higher than FY21, due primarily
to the acquisition of new office properties during FY21 and FY22. While
corporate expenses were higher than in FY21, primarily due to $4.5 million
of project costs related to Fabric, profit before other income / (expense)
and income tax from continuing operations at $46.5 million was $6.1 million
higher than FY21.
The net change in fair value of investment properties of $30.7 million was
lower than the prior year (FY21: $38.8 million), but this was partially offset by
increased share of profit from SPL’s investment in the Stride Products (FY22:
$65.6 million; FY21: $62.3 million). The carrying value of SPL’s investment in
Investore was impaired by $18.5 million, due in part to the current share price
of Investore’s shares on the NZX, and this was the primary driver for lower profit
before income tax from continuing operations of $124.7 million, down
$16.7 million from FY21 (FY21: $141.3 million). Stride remains confident in
the value of Investore and its underlying portfolio of properties which remain in
strong demand, but Investore’s recent share price performance has resulted in
the impairment assessment. Higher income tax expense (FY22: ($12.4 million);
FY21: ($9.4 million)) contributed to lower profit after income tax from continuing
operations for FY22 of $112.3 million (FY21: $132.0 million).
Distributable profit
3
after current income tax, which Stride considers to
more closely align with Stride’s underlying and recurring earnings from its
operations, was $54.2 million for FY22, up $7.9 million from FY21
($46.3 million).
Diversified business
Stride’s business comprises a real estate investment
management business (SIML) with a business that has direct
and indirect property investments (SPL). This results in
diversified revenue sources:
• Fees earned by SIML from its real estate investment
management business. These fees comprise both recurring
fees and activity and performance fees.
• Income from SPL’s direct property investments, primarily
comprising office and town centre properties.
• Income from SPL’s investment in the Stride Products –
Investore, Diversified, and Industre. These entities each
specialise in a different commercial property sector, and
accordingly provide a natural differentiation of income
given their different focus.
These diversified revenue sources provide a degree of resilience
in different market conditions.
Growth in assets under management
Stride’s strategy is to create a group of Products in specific
commercial property sectors to grow its investment
management business. SIML will manage each of the Products
and SPL will continue to own an interest in each of the Products.
SIML has been very active during FY22 in growing its assets
under management, with AUM growing by over $600 million,
with $430 million of this growth coming from existing Stride
Products. This growth has come from a range of commercial
asset sectors, and from a combination of acquisitions, asset
development and valuation growth. By way of example:
• Investore Property Limited (Investore), which has a focus
on large format retail property and is NZX listed, completed
$73.8 million of acquisitions during FY22. Investore also
has a conditional agreement to acquire a further parcel of
land for $10.5 million, which, if this acquisition proceeds,
represents an ongoing development opportunity for
Investore to continue to grow its portfolio. In addition,
Investore has continued to improve its existing portfolio,
through improvements completed in collaboration with its
tenants. These acquisitions and developments, together
with a reduction in the average market capitalisation rate
for Investore’s portfolio (to 4.81% as at 31 March 2022),
has contributed to an increase in the value of Investore’s
portfolio of $163.5 million during FY22.
• Industre Property Joint Venture (Industre), which invests
in industrial properties, and is a joint venture between
SPL and JPMAM, completed $87.7 million of acquisitions
during FY22, many of which have redevelopment
opportunities to deliver future portfolio growth, given their
strategic location for future industrial and logistics sites.
These acquisitions have contributed to Industre’s portfolio
growth during FY22, with its portfolio value increasing
by $239 million. Industre also has a strong development
pipeline, with three properties currently under construction,
for a total investment of $37.5 million. Industre has three
further properties that could be developed in the short
to medium term, although there is no commitment to this
development at present.
This growth in Stride’s Products, and therefore SIML’s assets
under management, were funded by investors in Stride’s
Products and did not require further capital contributions
from Stride. This is an important area of focus for Stride as it
continues to further establish itself as a real estate investment
manager, and evidences how Stride’s business model requires
less capital following the establishment of each of its Products.
SIML’s focus will continue to be supporting the Stride Products,
with a view to continuing to grow its real estate investment
management business.
Focus on office portfolio
Stride continues to focus on its office portfolio, as it considers
this portfolio is of sufficient quality and scale to become the next
Stride Product. To assist with delivering on Stride’s intentions
in this sector, Stride has repositioned its office portfolio to
ensure it continues to have enduring demand in a competitive
environment, given the recent trend towards occupiers
demanding higher quality, modern, and flexible workspaces,
which better complement flexible working arrangements.
Stride’s acquisitions of 46 Sale Street, Auckland, and
110 Carlton Gore Road, Auckland
1
, have focussed the portfolio
towards newer, higher quality, more sustainable properties,
with a higher weighting to the Auckland market. Stride has also
agreed to sell four B grade office assets
2
, and together these
transactions will result in the Stride office portfolio offering an
attractive set of investment characteristics on a pro forma
31 March 2022 basis, compared with the position as at
31 March 2022:
• Prime and A grade properties will comprise 85% of the
portfolio, up +14%
• Green assets
4
will comprise 74% of the portfolio, up +16%
• Auckland weighting of 50%, up +9%
• WALT of 7.8 years, up +1.4 years
• Weighted average age of the portfolio
5
of 9.7 years,
down -5.1 years
• Weighted average contract yield at 5.3%, down -0.3%
1. The acquisition of 110 Carlton Gore Road,
Auckland, became unconditional on 5 April
2022, and is expected to settle on completion
of the development, currently projected to
occur in early 2023.
2. The divestment of the Auckland office
properties at 80 Greys Avenue, 25 Teed Street
and 35 Teed Street became unconditional on
5 April 2022. The divestment of the property at
7-9 Fanshawe Street became unconditional on
2 May 2022.
3. See glossary on page 162.
4. Stride defines “green assets” as assets
achieving 4 star NABERSNZ or 4 star Green
Star ratings or better.
5. Property age measured since construction or

Stride Property GroupAnnual Report 20227Stride Property GroupAnnual Report 20226
Chair and
CEO’s Report
Stride expects to establish Fabric as a separate Stride Product, and will
continue to monitor market conditions to determine the appropriate time to
progress this initiative.
SPL holds one office property directly, being 55 Lady Elizabeth Lane,
Wellington. As noted in the interim report for FY22, works are required to
improve the seismic performance of this property, although the exact
nature of the works required is still being understood. As a result, the
valuation of this property was reduced still further as at 31 March 2022,
to $15 million. Stride has notified the tenants of this property of the draft
seismic rating and continues to work with the tenants regarding the potential
strengthening works.
Capital management
In order to support the ongoing growth of Stride’s assets under management,
Stride continues to focus on capital management initiatives. During FY22,
Stride’s key capital management transactions included a capital raise,
debt refinancing, and interest rate hedging transactions, undertaken in
anticipation of the current rising interest rate environment.
In November and December 2021, Stride undertook a capital raise, in
order to provide Stride with greater flexibility for the establishment of its
office fund, as well as progressing other strategic initiatives as part of
Stride’s broader investment management strategy. This capital raise has
subsequently supported Stride entering into an unconditional agreement
to acquire the property at 110 Carlton Gore Road, Auckland, which, as
described, has improved the quality and attractiveness of the office portfolio.
Stride sought to raise $120 million through the capital raising, and with both
the placement and the retail offer being over subscribed, this resulted in
Stride raising $133.9 million.
Stride refinanced its debt facilities during FY22, and as part of this
transaction, $400 million of the facilities are classified as green loans
1
,
supported by Stride’s predominantly green rated office portfolio.
Stride considers its earnings are well insulated from increases in interest
rates over the short to medium term. As at 31 March 2022, Stride had
hedging in place equal to 110% of drawn debt, in anticipation of further
drawdowns associated with the committed growth of the office portfolio.
Proactive capital management is also a feature of the management of the
Stride Products, with the SIML team concluding a total of $1.4 billion of
debt transactions on behalf of Stride and the Stride Products during FY22,
including $1.3 billion of bank debt facilities that have been refinanced,
together with the issue of a further $125 million of listed bonds by
Investore. The Investore bond was issued at a margin of 1.15% per annum,
representing a record New Zealand low rate for an unrated issuance at the
time, demonstrating the demand for Investore’s portfolio.
People
The activity across the Stride portfolio and the Stride Products is
only possible with a high calibre team, and Stride is very proud of
its people. During FY22 Stride appointed a new Executive Team
member, Jessica Rod, as General Manager Office. Jessica has
been with Stride for nearly 20 years, and has been responsible
for a number of key transactions within the portfolio over that
time, including the recent acquisitions of 46 Sale Street and
110 Carlton Gore Road. Stride is very proud to be able to
promote internally for such an important position.
Governance
During FY22 Stride appointed an additional director, Ross
Buckley. Ross brings considerable management and financial
experience, having been a partner at KPMG for 26 years and
Executive Chair of KPMG for nearly 10 years. Ross retired from
the KPMG partnership in October 2020 to pursue a governance
career and is currently an independent director of ASB Bank
Limited, independent Chair of Service Foods Limited, Massey
University Council member, a member of the Audit Oversight
Committee of the Financial Markets Authority, and National
Council member and Chair of the Auckland Branch of the
Institute of Directors.
Director John Harvey, the Chair of the Stride Audit and Risk
Committee, announced his retirement from the Stride Boards
after more than 12 years of service. Stride is very fortunate to
have had a director of John’s calibre, particularly through the
formative years of Stride as a listed entity, including its listing
process, the establishment of Investore as a separate entity, the
creation of Industre, and the ongoing growth of Stride’s assets
under management. On behalf of the Stride Boards, we would
like to acknowledge the immense contribution of John Harvey
and wish him well in his retirement.
The appointment of Ross as a director was in anticipation of
John’s retirement, and we are pleased to announce that Ross
has been appointed as the Chair of the Stride Audit and Risk
Committee with effect from John’s retirement on 31 May 2022.
We know that Ross will bring a keen mind to the financial, risk
and audit responsibilities of the Committee.
Sustainability
A key focus for the Stride Boards during FY22 has been
Stride’s commitment to ensuring it has a sustainable business.
The Stride Sustainability Committee was established in late
2020, and has been very active in monitoring Stride’s progress
against its sustainability strategic plan during FY22. Key
activities have included:
• Improving the sustainable performance of the office
portfolio, including through obtaining green ratings and
positioning the portfolio to obtain NABERSNZ ratings
(which require 12 months of data, and accordingly a period
of time following installation of appropriate metering);
• Implementation of sustainability-focussed policies and
frameworks, including a Supplier Code of Conduct and
Community Engagement Framework;
• Completing Stride’s preliminary climate risk assessment;
• Implementing a software system to enable gathering
of greenhouse gas emissions data, and undertaking
a limited assurance review of the baseline data, to
provide the baseline for Stride to set its future emissions
reduction targets.
As a result of these activities and the focus of the Stride
Sustainability Committee, Stride is providing more detailed
information in this report on its climate risk exposure, aligned
with the principles of the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial
Disclosures, at page 42 and following. Stride is also publishing
its first greenhouse gas inventory report in FY22, in conjunction
with the release of this Annual Report.
Future direction and outlook
Stride’s strategy is to establish a group of Products in specific
sectors to provide growth in its investment management
business. Stride continues to explore options for establishing
Fabric, the office owning subsidiary of SPL, as a separate Stride
Product, and will monitor market conditions to determine the
appropriate time to undertake this strategic initiative.
FY23 will also see a continued focus on the growth of the
Stride Products, including Investore and Industre, both of which
have acquisition and development pipelines, providing future
growth opportunities.
The Boards confirm that they currently intend to pay a combined
cash dividend for SPL and SIML during FY23 of 9.91 cents
per share.
On behalf of the Boards and staff, thank you for your continued
support of Stride Property Group.

place for all people to work, Stride implemented a number of initiatives during FY22:
• All employees were encouraged to complete unconscious bias training
• Completed an equal pay assessment of selected comparative roles and levels
• External benchmarking of salaries
Stride intends to continue to progress its
diversity and inclusion practices, and has
committed to establish an employee Diversity
and Inclusion Committee to provide input on

and inclusion at Stride.
Stride values its
people highly,
and this has been
demonstrated with
the introduction of
additional benefits
in FY22.
Stride’s teams have continued to deliver excellent results in often challenging
conditions, including as a result of ongoing lockdowns.
Corporate Services
Stride’s Corporate Services team manages governance, legal (including documenting
leasing transactions), health & safety, IT, risk, compliance, external communications,
insurance and sustainability across all of Stride and the Stride Products. This team won
the Stride “team of the year” for FY22 as a result of its commitment to meeting the
needs of its internal customers and quietly improving the way Stride does business.
Some key achievements included improving IT security and upgrading IT hardware,
including CCTV cameras at shopping centres; supporting the establishment of Fabric
and the acquisitions and divestments of office properties; commitment to Stride’s
internal process improvement projects; and materially improving Stride’s sustainability
practices, including completing a preliminary climate risk assessment, implementing
software to gather and calculate greenhouse gas emissions and implementing a
number of sustainability policies and objectives.
Development
The Stride Development team delivers major development and refurbishment
projects across all SIML-managed entities. This team successfully delivered
the award-winning Waste Management Auckland Headquarters, and has most
recently completed the refurbishment of the office building at 22 The Terrace,

projects during FY22 and are currently working on more than $400 million of
additional developments across all Stride Products.
Office Asset Management
Stride’s office portfolio has grown significantly over the past two years, and to support
the growing office portfolio Jessica Rod was appointed as General Manager Office in

Safety
With the increasing number of refurbishment and development projects managed by
SIML, SIML is proud of its progress in working with contractors to ensure these projects
are delivered safely. SIML appoints an external auditor to review contractor health
and safety performance for all major refurbishment and development projects. With a
significant amount of work having been completed over the last 12 months on a number
of sites, including an operational shopping centre, there was only one notifiable incident
during the 12 months to 31 March 2022.
Across the properties managed by SIML, incidents have reduced overall, although we
note this could be due, at least in part, to the impact of COVID-19, which has resulted in
fewer days of operation for office and shopping centre properties.
Stride continually seeks to ensure the safety of
all those who work in or visit places managed
by SIML. This approach presents continued
challenges given the varied nature of properties
managed by SIML and the activity levels across
Stride and the Stride Products.
95% average external safety audit
score for three large Wellington
development projects
43 recorded injuries across SIML
managed properties (FY21: 78)
74% of all recorded injuries
occurred at large retail sites
Main cause of incidents are slips

FY22
Stride combines a property ownership business (SPL) with a real estate investment
management business (SIML). This results in Stride having diverse sources of income:
• Real estate investment management fees, comprising asset management fees,
which are ongoing recurring fees, and activity based fees, which depend on the
activity of the Stride Products, such as leasing and development
• Direct property income from SPL’s directly owned property
• Indirect property income from SPL’s investment in the Stride Products
These diverse sources of income provide Stride with a level of resilience in different
market conditions and mean that Stride is not reliant on a particular category of income.
These diverse sources of
revenue have contributed to
Stride delivering growth in

since FY17,
particularly over the period since
FY20 when Stride grew its real
estate investment management
business with the establishment

Management Business
SIML will manage each of the Products and SPL will continue to own an interest in each
of the Products. Stride has seen considerable growth in its assets under management
during FY22, demonstrating the benefit of having distinct, diverse pools of capital for
each Stride Product focussed on a defined commercial property class.
Stride benefits from growth in its Products through:
• Activity based fees associated with acquisition and development activity
• Higher portfolio values resulting in higher ongoing recurring fees as SIML’s asset
management fee is calculated as a specified percentage of portfolio value
Stride’s strategy is
to create a group
of Products in
specific commercial
property sectors to
grow its investment

business.

1. Acquisitions, developments and disposals comprise: (1) Stride: purchase price for 110 Carlton Gore Road; seismic strengthening costs for 34 Shortland Street; less the
sale price for the disposal of the four office properties; (2) Investore: purchase price for the development land at Waimak Junction plus the estimated cost of Stage 1 of the
development; and capital expenditure of $22.7m across the existing portfolio; (3) Diversified: remaining seismic strengthening costs for Queensgate Shopping Centre;
(4) Industre: estimated costs of construction for three properties currently under development.
2. Stride office and town centre property excludes SPL’s interest in the Industre unincorporated portfolio which is reported as part of the assets of SPL in the consolidated financial
statements (see note 3.2 to the consolidated financial statements for further information).
Products
Each Stride Product is developed to invest in a specific commercial property sector
and has its own distinct balance sheet. Having a balance of listed and unlisted Products
means that Stride has a diversified source of capital for growing the Stride Products.
This growth potential has been demonstrated over the previous year, with assets under
management growing by 20%, with a strong pipeline of acquisitions and developments
for FY23.

SPL’s property interests comprise its directly held portfolio together with its indirect
interest in each of the portfolios owned by the Stride Products as a result of the interest
SPL owns in each Stride Product. This results in SPL having exposure to each class of
commercial property owned by SPL and the Stride Products. On a look-through basis,
SPL’s portfolio shows strong investment metrics as at 31 March 2022, benefiting from
the diversity of the Stride Products combined with SPL’s places.
SPL’s look-through portfolio has a strong weighting to the office sector, as a result
of SPL building its office portfolio in anticipation of the establishment of Fabric as a
separate Product. It is expected that this will reduce over time as Fabric is established
as a Stride Product.

SPL
Places
To w n
Centres
SPL’s directly held portfolio consists of office and town centre properties.
SPL has focussed on growing and repositioning its office portfolio over
the past year, to ensure the office portfolio continues to demonstrate
“enduring demand”.
Stride continues to see strong growth in sales across its key town centre properties,
with moving annual turnover (MAT) at NorthWest growing by 5.6% (or +9.0% on a like
for like basis) and MAT at Silverdale Centre
8
growing by 3.2% (or 3.0% on a like for like
basis). The performance of these centres can be attributed to their locations, with both
centres located in high-growth regions of Auckland. SPL also owns a 50% interest in
Johnsonville Shopping Centre, which represents a future development opportunity.
The occupancy rates below exclude casually let units such as pop up shops or kiosks
let under licence. If these occupied units were included, the occupancy rate would be
98.0% as at 31 March 2022.

1. Distributable profit is a non-GAAP measure and consists of profit/(loss) before income tax, adjusted for determined non-recurring and/or non-cash items (including
non-recurring adjustments for incentives payable to anchor tenants for lease extensions) and current tax. Further information, including the calculation of distributable profit and
the adjustments to profit before income tax, is set out in note 3.2 to Investore’s consolidated financial statements.
2. See glossary on page162.
3. Portfolio value as at 31 March 2022 excludes: (1) seismic works ($3.0m) to be completed by SPL in relation to 2 Carr Road, Auckland, acquired by Investore from SPL on 30 April
2020; and (2) lease liabilities.
4. Portfolio value as at 31 March 2021: (1) excludes seismic works and rental underwrites (total $7.1m) to be completed by SPL in relation to the three properties acquired by
Investore from SPL and settled on 30 April 2020; (2) includes 35 MacLaggan Street, Dunedin, which was held as property intended for sale; (3) excludes lease liabilities.
5. Loan to Value Ratio is calculated based on independent valuations, which include seismic works to be funded by SPL in relation to 2 Carr Road, Auckland, acquired by Investore
from SPL in April 2020. The independent valuations also exclude lease liabilities.
Investore completed $73.8 million of acquisitions during FY22 in execution
of its strategy of targeted growth. In addition, Investore has a further
conditional agreement to acquire development land at Waimak Junction,
Kaiapoi, for $10.5 million, which provides Investore with continued
development opportunities.
Investore has also focussed on improving its current portfolio during FY22,
through collaborating with key tenants to undertake capital projects that
improve the overall customer experience and drive increased customer
visitation to each property. Investore receives additional income as a result of
these projects, through rental return on the investment or by way of increased
turnover rent, and in addition these projects often deliver an increase in lease
tenure, adding value to Investore’s portfolio.
Investore’s portfolio continues to demonstrate strong metrics, with a net
valuation gain of $91 million or 8.2% in the 12 months to 31 March 2022,
and average market capitalisation rate of 4.81%, down 0.4% from
31 March 2021.
Investore’s continued focus during
FY22 on proactive capital management
has resulted in Investore having a
strong capital position in the current
rising interest rate environment.

During FY22 Chartwell Shopping Centre,
which is owned by Diversified and
managed by SIML, ran a competition to
design Chartwell’s new reusable tote bag
featuring the theme ‘Sustainability in our
Community’. There were two winners who
each received a $500 Chartwell gift card.
All shopping centres host a Christmas gift wrapping booth, with the centres providing
the space and wrapping materials and the proceeds going to a charity of choice. For
Christmas 2021, Chartwell raised $9,450 for The Waterboy, which will go towards
purchasing a mini-van for the charity. The goal of The Waterboy is to break down
barriers to provide personal development opportunities to disadvantaged or minority
youth and to use sport and mentoring as a major vehicle for creating stronger people.
The objectives of this charity align with Stride’s community engagement goal of
addressing social issues to generate shared value for both Stride and the community.
For 2021, Queensgate Shopping Centre raised $12,835 through their gift wrapping
service for the Wellington City Mission, which will be used to fund the Mission’s
continued support of the local community in Lower Hutt, including funding home visits
by Mission social workers to individuals and families in the Hutt City region. Queensgate
also partnered with The Breeze Wellington radio station and the initiative “Pack The
Bus this Christmas” to collect donations of food and presents for the Wellington
City Mission.
NorthWest Shopping Centre partners with The Salvation Army Westgate every
Christmas to provide a gift wrapping service to customers, with donations going to
The Salvation Army Westgate. For Christmas 2021, the gift wrapping service raised
$11,443, which was 8.2% higher than that raised in 2020 and the largest amount
raised since the partnership began in 2017. The Salvation Army uses the money
received to further develop children’s programmes in the NorthWest community. The
centre also hosted a toy donation crate, with eleven supermarket trolley loads of toys
being received and distributed to more than 200 families in need during Christmas.
Community
Engagement
Stride has implemented a new Community Engagement Framework which
governs Stride’s community investment activities. Stride aims to maximise
the positive impacts of its business activities on the community through:
• Actively engaging in partnerships that address social issues which
generate shared value for both Stride and the community at national
and local level
• Actively engaging with the communities in which Stride operates to
create mutually beneficial outcomes
At a national level, Stride will focus on organisations, programmes and
initiatives that provide opportunities for youth to access experiences
that would not otherwise have been available to them and encourage
continuing education.
At the local level Stride will focus on helping build the capacity of the
communities in which we operate. We seek to provide spaces that facilitate
social connection and cohesion and work with those organisations seeking
to create equality in the community.
Stride sponsors the Graeme Dingle Foundation and recently committed to
a further three year period of sponsorship with an increased contribution
in order to provide further support for the work of the Graeme Dingle
Foundation. The Graeme Dingle Foundation’s purpose is to inspire school
age New Zealand children to reach their full potential through programmes
that help build self-esteem, promote good values and which teach valuable
life, education and health skills. In addition to providing sponsorship, Stride
also encourages its employees to volunteer as a mentor for one of the
Graeme Dingle Foundation’s programmes.
Stride is committed to
actively engaging with
the communities in
which Stride operates
to create mutually
beneficial outcomes.
The shopping centres
managed by Stride
contribute to their
communities in a
range of ways, from
providing free space
to community groups,
to hosting Christmas
gift wrapping facilities
which raise money
for charities.
The centres collaborate
with their communities to
help support and develop
young people and people
in need, particularly their
local schools.
When a women’s accessory store ceased trading at Queensgate Shopping Centre
they left beyond a large amount of stock, and Queensgate took the opportunity to
support their local schools by donating a majority of this stock to three low decile high
schools in the Hutt Valley for use during the school ball season. The local schools were
very grateful and commented on how this simple effort made such a difference to
students’ lives.
NorthWest Shopping Centre has also supported its local schools, through their
“NorthWest Rewards Schools” initiative, where shoppers could vote for their favourite
school, with every dollar spent equating to one vote. Thirteen West Auckland schools
and almost 8,000 children took part in the initiative, with $6,000 being donated in total
to three schools as a result.

Climate-Related
Disclosures
A key focus for Stride during FY22 has been sustainability and establishing
the groundwork for Stride’s approach to the management of climate risk.
This work has included undertaking a preliminary climate risk assessment,
gathering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions data across Scopes 1, 2 and 3,
and continuing to progress green ratings for Stride’s properties.
Stride is in the process of establishing its workplan for FY23, which will
include setting emissions reduction targets, further refining the climate
risk assessment and strategic response, preparing adaptation and
transition plans, developing a responsible investment policy which will
guide sustainable investments, and continuing to progress green building
certifications across Stride and the Stride Products.
Stride also completes the Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmarking
(GRESB) assessment, which benchmarks Stride’s sustainability performance
against a peer group in the Asia Pacific region. Stride has been focussed
during FY22 on undertaking a number of activities and initiatives to improve
its sustainability practices, which we expect will improve Stride’s GRESB
score. Stride’s target is to be in the upper quartile of its peer group for the
GRESB assessment over time.
FY22 Highlights
Net anthropogenic GHG emissions have increased since 2010 across all
major sectors globally. An increasing share of emissions can be attributed
to urban areas. Emissions reductions in CO2 from fossil fuels and
industrial processes, due to improvements in energy intensity of GDP and
carbon intensity of energy, have been less than emissions increases from
rising global activity levels in industry, energy supply, transport, agriculture
and buildings. Average annual GHG emissions during 2010-2019 were
higher than in any previous decade (IPCC Report April 2022).

The risks of climate change
are increasingly well-
known and understood.
Stride recognises that
tackling the issues
caused by climate change
requires all individuals,
organisations and
governments to reduce
greenhouse gas emissions
and prepare for a low
carbon future.

Stride recognises the importance of understanding and strategically
responding to climate-related risks and opportunities to protect and
enhance company value. Accordingly, during FY21 Stride established
the Board Sustainability Committee, which is responsible for, among other
things, considering climate-related risks and initiatives and assessing
how they may impact on Stride’s business. The Sustainability Committee
has a formal charter that governs its operations and sets out its purpose,
and responsibilities.

RoleDescription
Boards of Directors
The SPL and SIML Boards have ultimate responsibility for overseeing the assessment of, and
strategic response to, climate-related risks and opportunities for Stride. Climate-related risks are
considered in the performance of the Boards’ duties, primarily in relation to major investments
such as acquisitions and developments. By way of example, the Boards have determined to divest
four B grade office assets and commit to the acquisition of 110 Carlton Gore Road, Auckland,
which is expected to achieve a 6 star Green Star Design & As Built (v3.2) rating, and a 5 star
NABERSNZ rating on completion.
Sustainability Committee
The Sustainability Committee, chaired by Director Jacqueline Cheyne and including Director
Tim Storey, Stride Board Chair, and Director Philip Ling, plays a critical role in relation to Stride’s
response to climate change and its approach to sustainability. The Committee oversees Stride’s
sustainability activities, including environmental and social sustainability activities and climate risk
response; monitors progress in achieving Stride’s sustainability strategic objectives; and reviews
and recommends to the Boards Stride’s sustainability reporting.
The Committee meets quarterly and receives reports from the SIML Executive Team for each
meeting relating to progress against Stride’s sustainability strategic objectives and key projects,
including Stride’s climate risk assessment.
All Sustainability Committee papers and minutes are made available to the full Stride Boards, and
the Stride Boards receive a briefing on key activities of the Committee.
SIML Executive Team
SIML’s Chief Executive Officer is accountable for ensuring that Stride is identifying, assessing
and managing material risks, including climate change and other sustainability risks. The SIML
Executive Team has been involved in the development of the climate risk assessment. Each
member of the Executive Team is responsible for monitoring and assessing climate risk in their
area of responsibility, in conjunction with Stride’s sustainability team.
The SIML Executive Team reports to the Sustainability Committee on sustainability topics and
progress in addressing Stride’s sustainability strategic actions, as well as climate-related risks and
opportunities.
SIML Safety and
Sustainability Manager
SIML’s Safety and Sustainability Manager is responsible for formulating and driving
implementation of Stride’s environmental sustainability initiatives across Stride and the Stride
Products. The Safety and Sustainability Manager works closely with the asset managers and
facilities managers, as well as the fund managers, to implement sustainability initiatives to meet
the objectives of Stride, the Stride Products and their investors and tenants.
SIML’s Safety and Sustainability Manager reports directly to the General Manager Corporate
Services, who is a member of the Executive Team, and responsible for risk management across
Stride, providing a link between climate risk management and business risk processes.
Climate Risk
Working Group
During FY22 Stride formed a sustainability working group to provide input on Stride’s climate
risk assessment. This group was provided training on climate change and climate risks, along
with climate risk terminology, to assist them in undertaking their role. The working group
comprised all members of the SIML Executive Team, as well as participants from all areas of the
organisation to ensure a wide perspective was brought to consider climate risks for Stride and the
Stride Products.
Other working groups may be established for specific sustainability related projects as required.

Stride recognises that effective risk management is essential to
achieve its strategic objectives
During FY22 Stride formed a climate risk working group to assess the impact of climate
risk on the business of Stride and the Stride Products, under two scenarios:
• The low carbon scenario, where the world transitions to a low carbon economy and
temperature rise is kept to between 0.3 and 1.7 degrees Celsius (Representative
Concentration Pathway (RCP) 2.6)
• The business as usual scenario, where carbon emissions are not constrained and
the temperature rise is between 2.6 and 4.8 degrees Celsius (RCP 8.5) and there
is a 300% increase in hot days (>25 degrees Celsius)
The working group held a number of workshops to assess the risks and opportunities
associated with climate risk, and the outcome was then moderated by the sustainability
team within Stride. The draft risk assessment was presented to the Board Sustainability
Committee, who also provided feedback and input on the assessment of the nature and
level of risks.
Given the longer-term nature of climate risk impacts, the climate risk assessment is
currently not integrated into Stride’s overall enterprise risk management process.
However, during FY23 Stride intends to better integrate the two risk approaches, to
ensure a comprehensive approach to risk across Stride and the Stride Products.

Strategy
Climate Change Risks
and Opportunities
The Strategy section provides information on the strategic
implications of climate change for Stride
Stride’s business strategy is to own and manage a diversified, high quality
portfolio of property assets located in New Zealand. Stride takes a long term
approach to its business and asset ownership. This long term investment
approach aligns with Stride’s sustainability goals, as Stride considers the
long term impact of changes in regulation and climate change on its business
and the assets it owns and manages.
Stride has begun the process of assessing the impact of climate change on
its business and its strategy, beginning with a climate risk assessment, which
is described on the following pages. The Stride Sustainability Committee
and Stride Boards consider climate risk as part of the inputs in their overall
strategic decision making, with further work on the impact of climate risk on
the Stride strategy to be undertaken during FY23.
Stride is working to ensure our team is sufficiently skilled to identify the key
risks and opportunities from climate change. We use external expertise
where we consider this will support the SIML team to address and manage
risks. Accountability for Stride’s sustainability and climate-related targets and
outcomes will be reinforced through key performance indicators for the
Chief Executive Officer, the Executive Team and SIML’s Safety and
Sustainability Manager. These KPIs will be linked to short term incentive
remuneration, with performance against KPIs reported regularly to the
Sustainability Committee.
Stride’s plan to manage the impacts of climate risk is linked to
its business and asset life cycles to ensure that decisions are
made in alignment with business imperatives, and with a longer-
term decision-making process given the life of property assets.
Sustainability and climate risk implications are considered as
part of Stride’s overall decision-making approach, particularly in
relation to material financial investments.
In preparing the climate risk assessment, Stride adopted
the following timeframes, which have been set taking into
consideration business planning cycles and asset lifespans.
Low Carbon Scenario – Less than 2°C Temperature Rise
Climate transition issues are more material in the low carbon scenario, where the focus on reducing carbon is much greater in the
short term, driven by: growth of energy efficiency, renewables and low carbon technology; faster decarbonisation of transport and
industry; changing methods of transportation; divestment from fossil fuels; more rapidly evolving investor mandates and financial
institutional appetite for climate mitigation; increasing tenant demand for green properties, and faster evolution of climate regulation
and carbon pricing.
Transition climate risks arise from the transition to a lower carbon economy. Transitioning to a
lower carbon economy may entail extensive policy, legal, technology, and market changes to
address mitigation and adaptation requirements related to climate change. Depending on the
nature, speed, and focus of these changes, transition risks may pose varying levels of financial and
reputational risk to organisations.
Physical climate risks resulting from climate change can be event driven or due to longer-term
shifts in climate patterns. Physical risks may have financial implications for organisations, such as
direct damage to assets and indirect impacts from supply chain disruption.

Transition risks and opportunities
During FY22 Stride formed a climate risk working group to undertake
preliminary work to identify climate risks, related opportunities and the
impact of climate risk on its business strategies using two scenarios -
a low carbon scenario where temperature rise is kept to between 0.3 and
1.7 degrees Celsius (RCP 2.6), and a “business as usual” scenario where
carbon emissions are not constrained and the temperature rise is between
2.6 and 4.8 degrees Celsius (RCP 8.5).
Outlined on the following pages is Stride’s preliminary assessment of climate
risks and opportunities that are most likely to materially affect Stride under the
low carbon and the business as usual scenarios.

Policy and legal changes
- Increasing standards
for buildings, including
embodied carbon
assessments and
operational emissions
assessments at the time of
building consent
• More costly to develop
buildings, due to the need to
ensure buildings meet the
required standards. Rents may
need to increase in order to
make development of new
buildings feasible, but this will be
market dependent
• There is currently an element of
uncertainty around requirements
for future building consents, which
could impact commitment for new
buildings given the long timeframe
for the build process
Short / medium timeframe
Moderate risk
Stride currently assesses
embodied carbon as part of its
process for new construction
projects
Continue to monitor Building Act
and consents amendments, and
adapt as required
Increased urbanisation
with move of population to
main cities
• Opportunity for assets located
in urban areas with increasing
demand for properties – Stride’s
office assets are well-located
in urban areas and town centre
assets are located in growing
areas. As cities become more
highly populated, this could lead
to higher demand for well-located
assets, driving higher asset values
Medium timeframe
Opportunity
Continue to focus on investing
in sustainable assets in central
urban locations that are likely
to benefit from increasing
urbanisation
Chronic and acute physical climate issues become most material under this scenario,
as short-term efforts required to decarbonise fall short of environmental requirements.
Under this scenario, greater focus and investment will be on adapting to higher
temperatures and associated impacts, such as higher sea levels and more extreme
weather events.
This may include more immediate investment to strengthen asset physical resilience;
exiting assets that are in high-risk zones; careful due diligence on the impacts of
forecast sea level rise and storms on existing assets; building properties that factor in
higher resilience to storms, floods and wind, and have back up or alternative energy
sources; deepening relationships with insurers and energy suppliers to monitor and
maintain stable contracts and affordable access.

Sea level rise risks are considered
as part of due diligence for new

Sea level rise risk has been
assessed across the office
portfolio. All office properties
are at very low risk of inundation
over the next 20 years, assuming
present day water levels. All office
properties have very low or low
risk of inundation over the period
of 20 to 50 years (assuming
a 0.5m sea level rise over this
period), with no likely risk of
internal flooding of the buildings
The response to this risk will be
further informed by the individual
property risk assessments to be
undertaken in FY23
Rising temperatures• Increased operating costs due
to cooling are borne primarily by
tenants, however Stride will bear
increased operating costs for
building common areas
• Tenants may demand more
energy efficient properties due
to increased operating costs of
cooling, or this may impact on
the amount they can afford to pay
in rent, thus impacting capital
expenditure or income
• Developments become more
expensive as construction
workers are able to spend
less time outdoors due to high
temperatures, prolonging
timeframes for development and
increasing costs

Response to climate risk
Stride considers climate risk on its business, particularly when considering major investment decisions
such as acquisitions and developments.
Climate risks and opportunities are considered as part of due
diligence investigations for acquiring assets, to ensure that our
investments are consistent with our long term risk appetite. The
Stride Boards have implemented a policy that it will only acquire
properties that have or can achieve a minimum 4 star Green
Star rating or 4 star NABERSNZ rating or equivalent, and target
acquisitions that have or can achieve a 5 star Green Star rating or
5 star NABERSNZ rating or equivalent. Where the property is not
currently certified and Stride has obtained advice that the property
is currently not of a standard that will achieve the required minimum
rating, Stride will factor the capital expenditure required to improve
the building into its considerations for the acquisition.
As an example, Stride recently decided to recycle capital through
agreeing to sell four non-core office buildings that it assessed
required major upgrades to reach a minimum 4 star Green Star or
NABERSNZ rating, to support Stride committing to acquire an office
building that is currently under development at 110 Carlton Gore
Road, Auckland, which is expected to achieve a 6 star Green Star
Design & As Built (v3.2) rating, and a 5 star NABERSNZ rating.
Development planning takes into consideration climate risk and
tenant demand to ensure an asset’s resilience to foreseeable climate
impacts while also retaining strong tenant demand. The Stride Boards
have a policy related to developments or major refurbishments of a
whole building, which requires Stride to incorporate sustainability
initiatives in that development or refurbishment, targeting a 5 star
Green Star rating (or equivalent), and a minimum 4 star Green Star
rating (or equivalent).
Examples of this include the major redevelopment of 22 The Terrace,
Wellington, where sustainability initiatives were incorporated in
the building upgrade, which was initially undertaken to seismically
strengthen the building. A 5 star Green Star Design rating has been
confirmed for this building, and it is expected to achieve a 5 star
Green Star As Built rating on completion of the works.
Stride has put in place a Green Finance Framework for Fabric, which owns office assets. This Framework requires that the value of Fabric’s green
assets (which are defined as properties rated at least 4 star NABERSNZ or 5 star Green Star) exceeds the value of Fabric’s green loans. The
Framework complies with the Green Loan Principles published by the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association, the Loan Market Association and the
Loan Syndication and Trading Association dated February 2021.
Fabric prepares a use of proceeds report to confirm its compliance with the Framework on an annual basis, and this is subject to an external
assurance review.
For FY23 Stride plans to:
• further refine its climate risk assessment, including taking steps to quantify the
impact of each risk and opportunity, as well as define metrics that will assist us to
monitor each risk
• assess the impact of climate risk on individual properties through a property-
specific risk assessment. This will assist with the development of an adaptation
plan for Stride
Stride understands that a sectoral climate risk scenario for the buildings and materials
industry is to be developed, which is part of the recommendations of the New Zealand
External Reporting Board in their work on developing climate disclosure standards for
New Zealand. Stride has indicated an intention to be part of the development of this
sectoral scenario, which we understand is to be led by the New Zealand Green Building
Council during FY23. We will then assess any impact from those scenarios on our
strategy and business and adapt our climate risk assessment and strategic response
as appropriate.

Metrics
and Targets
Tracking key indicators and progress against targets is
important to enable Stride to measure and manage climate-
related risks and opportunities
Stride recognises that it needs to contribute to the transition to a low carbon
economy. As part of this commitment, Stride is collecting GHG emissions
data which will enable Stride to put in place an emissions reduction plan.
Stride is pleased to present its first Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report,
which accompanies this Annual Report. Stride understands its Scope 1 and
Scope 2 emissions, and is working with tenants to gather their emissions
data, which is Scope 3 emissions for Stride and the Stride Products. Scope
3 tenant emissions are materially larger than Scope 1 and Scope 2 for
Stride, and accordingly represent opportunities to achieve reductions, if we
are able to work collaboratively with tenants to achieve reductions.
Scope 1Scope 2Scope 3
GHG emissions which
are a direct result of
sources that are owned
or controlled by an
organisation, such as
emissions associated
with fuel combustion
in boilers, furnaces,
vehicles, etc
GHG emissions from the
indirect consumption of
an energy commodity
(the most common is the
emissions from the use
of electricity produced
by burning coal or gas in
another facility)
Indirect emissions, other
than Scope 2 emissions,
that are generated in the

Approach to
Measuring
Greenhouse
Gas Emissions
Stride prepares its GHG emissions inventory in accordance with the GHG Protocol
Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
Stride has adopted the “operational control” approach for accounting purposes to
report GHG emissions for each Stride Product. This approach means that:
• Stride and each Stride Product account for base build emissions (such as
refrigeration, natural gas and electricity associated with heating, cooling and
lighting in common areas)
• Tenant GHG emissions are Scope 3 emissions for Stride and Stride Products
• SIML will report 100% of the emissions for Stride and each Stride Product on the
basis that SIML is the property and fund manager and therefore has “operational
control” of the Stride Products. Each Stride Product will still report emissions
generated by its activities, including its owned properties, and the reports will
make clear that these emissions have also been reported by Stride to explain any
double accounting
Accounting for GHG emissions using the operational control approach is, we consider,
the most appropriate method and will enable us to “manage what we measure”. The
contributors to Stride’s GHG emissions and their categorisation are set out below.

Greenhouse
Gas Emissions
Stride is currently tracking Scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions, although Scope 3
emissions are the most challenging for collection of data, as they are primarily tenant
emissions, such as gas, water and electricity consumed by tenants and therefore rely
on tenants sharing this data with Stride or providing authority for Stride to access this
data directly from suppliers.
Stride’s FY20, FY21 and FY22 Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions were recently subject
to a limited assurance review undertaken by Deloitte, and have been published as part
of Stride’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report for the year to 31 March 2022. This will
provide us with a base to begin to establish emissions reduction targets, which we
expect to undertake during FY23.
Set out below is a summary of the Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions reported by Stride,
which includes all of the emissions for SPL, Investore, Industre and Diversified. As can
be seen, emissions have increased for most entities between FY20 and FY22, with
the exception of Diversified. The primary reasons for these changes are:
• Stride – SPL acquired the office properties at 20 Customhouse Quay,
215 Lambton Quay and 34 Shortland Street part way during the year in FY21,
which means FY21 only has a part period impact on Scope 1 and 2 emissions
for these properties, where FY22 will have the full year impact of Scope 1 and 2
emissions for these properties. In addition, FY22 reflects emissions from
46 Sale Street, which was acquired in July 2021. One of SPL’s office buildings
also experienced a mechanical issue which saw a refrigerant gas release during
FY22, impacting FY22 emissions. This issue has been addressed.
• Diversified – Diversified has been working to replace old refrigeration units with
newer units which has improved Scope 1 emissions for Diversified during FY22.
In addition, FY22 was impacted by a longer period of closures for Chartwell
Shopping Centre, located in Hamilton.
• Investore – Investore’s emissions have increased due to the acquisition of
centres with common areas, such as Mt Wellington Shopping Centre and Bay
Central Shopping Centre, acquired in April 2020.
The Boards consider that Stride has taken important steps in
identifying and responding to climate risks, but it appreciates that
there is still a lot of work to do.
Set out below are the key climate change response activities planned for FY23 and
how these actions contributes to Stride better meeting its sustainability objectives.
Another important metric for Stride in relation to climate risk is the number of
its properties that have a green rating. Stride has focused on obtaining more
green ratings for its offices during FY22. 57% of Stride’s office properties
are green rated as at 31 March 2022, although this increases to 74% on a
pro forma 31 March 2022 basis, assuming the acquisition of 110 Carlton
Gore Road, Auckland (expected to achieve a 6 star Green Star Design & As
Built (v3.2) rating, and a 5 star NABERSNZ rating) and the divestment of four
Auckland office properties, being 25 Teed Street, 35 Teed Street, 80 Greys
Avenue and 7-9 Fanshawe Street, none of which are green rated. Assessments
are also underway in relation to the remaining office properties to seek ratings
for these properties, with a target of obtaining 100% green ratings for Stride’s
office properties. Stride is also working with JPMAM on green ratings for select
industrial properties which form part of the Industre portfolio.

Five Year
Financial Summary
Five Year Financial Summary
The five year financial summary table reflects the numbers in the consolidated financial statements for each respective year.
On 1 July 2020, Industre commenced operations. Industre is a joint arrangement between SPL and a group of international institutional investors,
through a special purpose vehicle, advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM). On 1 July 2020, SPL held a 68.3% interest in Industre. This has
reduced to 51.7% as at 31 March 2022 (31 March 2021: 56.3%).
The accounting for the arrangements by SPL is a combination of a joint operation (proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses) and
joint venture (equity accounted). Only JPMAM’s special purpose vehicle’s participating interest has been treated as discontinued in respect of the joint
operation as SPL retained a partial direct ownership interest in the properties. All of the financial performance and cash flows pertaining to the properties
that have been transferred to the Industre joint venture have been treated as discontinued. The financial performance for the discontinued operations are
for the period ended 30 June 2020 (2021 column) and the year ended 31 March 2020 (2020 column) and have been presented as “Profit/(loss) from
discontinued operations”.

Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2022Annual Report 20226869
1.0 General Information (continued)
1.3 New standards, amendments and interpretations
In October 2021, the Financial Sector (Climate-related Disclosures and Other Matters) Amendment Act 2021 was passed. It amends the Financial
Markets Conduct Act 2013, the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and the Public Audit Act 2001, mandating certain entities to disclose climate-related
information. Entities are expected to publish climate-related statements for annual financial periods commencing on or after 1 January 2023 based
upon climate standards issued by the External Reporting Board (XRB). Stride's first climate-related statement will be required for the year ending
31 March 2024.
The XRB intends to issue the following:
•Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standard 1: Climate-related Disclosures (NZ CS 1);
•Aotearoa New Zealand Climate Standard 2: Adoption of Climate-related Disclosures (NZ CS 2); and
•Aotearoa New Zealand Climate-related Disclosures Concepts (NZ CRDC).
NZ CS 1 will be the primary disclosure standard and will be based on the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures
(TCFD). NZ CS 2 will be an adoption standard to enable entities to begin their climate-related disclosure journey. NZ CRDC will be an authoritative
notice containing key concepts, such as materiality. Stride continues to monitor the developments and guidance of the new climate-related disclosure
requirements, with XRB aiming to publish these new standards by 31 December 2022.
At the date of approval of the financial statements, there were no relevant standards on issue but not applied.
1.4 Significant accounting policies, estimates and judgements
In the application of NZ IFRS, the Boards and management are required to make judgements, estimates and assumptions about carrying values of assets
and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on experience and other factors that
are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis of making the judgements. Actual results may differ from the
estimates, judgements and assumptions made by the Boards and management.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the
estimate is revised and in any future periods affected.
Judgements made by the Boards and management in the application of NZ IFRS that have significant effects on the financial statements and estimates
with a significant risk of material adjustments in the next year are disclosed, where applicable, in the relevant notes to the financial statements as follows:
•Investment properties (note 3.2);
•Lease liabilities (note 3.3);
•Derivative financial instruments (note 5.2);
•Investment in associates - Investore Property Limited (Investore) (note 7.2);
•Industre joint venture (note 7.2); and
•Deferred tax (note 8.1).
SIML previously capitalised cost incurred in configuring its property management software as an intangible asset as SIML considered it would benefit
from those costs to implement the cloud-based software over the expected term of the cloud computing arrangement. Following the publication of the
IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) agenda decision on Configuration or Customisation Costs in a Cloud Computing Arrangement in March 2021
(and ratified by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) in April 2021), SIML has reconsidered its accounting treatment and adopted the
principles set out in the IFRIC agenda decision, which is to recognise those costs as intangible assets only if the activities create an intangible asset that
SIML controls and the intangible asset meets the recognition criteria. As a result of this change in accounting policy, $1.0 million previously capitalised
and included as software has been expensed and included in corporate overhead expenses for the year ended 31 March 2022 (refer note 8.2).
Stride Property Group
Annual Report 2022

1.0 General Information
This section sets out Stride Property Group’s accounting policies that relate to the consolidated financial statements (financial statements)
as a whole. Where an accounting policy is specific to a note, the policy is described within the note to which it relates.
1.1 Reporting entity
The financial statements presented are those of Stride Property Limited and its subsidiaries Stride Holdings Limited, Stride Industrial Property Limited
and Fabric Property Limited (together referred to as SPL), and Stride Investment Management Limited (SIML), each of SPL and SIML being a “Stapled
Entity”, and together the Stride Property Group (Stride). For accounting purposes, stapling gives rise to the combination of the Stapled Entities into
a consolidated group. For the purposes of financial reporting, one of the combining entities is required to be identified as the parent entity of the
consolidated group. In the case of Stride, SPL has been identified as the parent for the purposes of preparing the financial statements and consequently
SIML’s equity is presented as the non-controlling interest in the financial statements.
SPL is principally involved in the ownership of investment properties in New Zealand and SIML is principally involved in the management of real estate
investment entities in New Zealand. SPL and SIML are both domiciled in New Zealand, are both registered under the Companies Act 1993 and are both
FMC reporting entities under Part 7 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
Shares of SPL and SIML are stapled and quoted on the Main Board equity securities market of NZX under the ticker code SPG.
The financial statements were approved for issue by the Board of Directors of SPL (SPL Board) and the Board of Directors of SIML (SIML Board),
together the “Boards”, on 27 May 2022.
1.2 Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand (GAAP). Stride is a for-profit
entity for the purposes of financial reporting. The financial statements comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting
Standards (NZ IFRS), other New Zealand accounting standards and authoritative notices that are applicable to entities that apply NZ IFRS. The financial
statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Financial
Markets Conduct (Stride Property Group) Exemption Notice 2022 and waivers granted to Stride from certain of the NZX Listing Rules on May 2020,
which each permit SPL and SIML, subject to the conditions of the exemption notice and waivers (respectively), to prepare financial statements in respect
of Stride in place of separate financial statements of each Stapled Entity. Stride notes that the Financial Markets Conduct (Stride Property Group)
Exemption Notice 2022 came into force on 26 May 2022 and applies to Stride’s accounting period ended 31 March 2022 and subsequent accounting
periods, up to and including the accounting period ending 31 March 2026. The exemption notice is of the same effect as Stride’s previous Financial
Markets Conduct (Stride Property Group) Exemption Notice 2017, which expired on 6 April 2022.
The financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost basis except for assets and liabilities stated at fair value as disclosed. The financial
statements have been presented in New Zealand dollars and have been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless stated otherwise.
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2021 has been restated to eliminate the building management
fees charged from SIML to SPL. This has resulted in a restatement of direct operating expenses which has decreased by $0.8 million ($16.6 million to
$15.7 million) and management fee income which has decreased by $0.8 million ($25.1 million to $24.2 million). There is no impact on the net cash
position, profit attributable to shareholders or the consolidated statement of financial position.
The consolidated statement of cash flows for the year ended 31 March 2021 has been restated to correctly present the impact of rental income
abatement provision due to COVID-19 and to eliminate the building management fees charged from SIML to SPL. This has resulted in a restatement
of net cash provided by operating activities and net cash applied to investing activities as follows: gross rent received has increased by $0.4 million,
($65.4 million to $65.0 million), management fee income has decreased by $0.8 million ($24.2 million to $23.3 million) and capital expenditure on
investment properties has decreased by $0.4 million (($17.4 million) to ($17.0 million)). A corresponding restatement has also been made to the
rental income abatement provision due to COVID-19 non-cash adjustment, from $0.4 million to $nil, which formed part of the reconciliation of profit
after income tax attributable to shareholders to net cash provided by operating activities. With regard to the presentation adjustment for the rental
income abatement provision due to COVID-19 there is no impact on the net cash position, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income or the
consolidated statement of financial position.

1.0 General Information (continued)
1.8 Significant events and transactions
The financial position and performance of Stride was affected by the following events and transactions that occurred during the year:
Acquisition of investment property
On 30 June 2021, SPL acquired an office property at 46 Sale Street, Auckland, for a purchase price of $152.0 million. SPL incurred $0.3 million of costs
in relation to the acquisition.
Withdrawal of proposed demerger and initial public offering (IPO) of Fabric Property Limited (Fabric)
On 13 September 2021, Stride announced the proposed demerger and IPO of SPL's wholly owned subsidiary, Fabric, which was to be Stride's
latest managed product, investing in office properties. Due to market conditions, the Boards made the decision to withdraw the demerger and IPO on
21 September 2021. The Boards are conscious of ensuring that the process is in the best interests of Stride shareholders as well as Fabric investors.
Stride remains committed to its strategy of growing its real estate investment management business, and the Boards will continue to consider the next
steps for Stride's office portfolio, within Stride or as a separate entity. As at 31 March 2022, SPL incurred $4.5 million in project costs relating to Fabric,
which have been expensed to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
Equity capital raise
During November and December 2021, Stride undertook an equity capital raise which resulted in a gross amount of $133.9 million raised, with
66,953,660 shares issued at $2.00 per share (refer note 5.4). Net proceeds, after transaction costs, of $131.4 million were used to repay
$129.1 million of bank borrowings.
Bank debt facility refinancing
On 16 December 2021, SPL completed the refinancing of its bank debt facilities across a consortium of six banks, increasing total facilities available
from $455.0 million to $600.0 million (refer note 5.1).
During the year, SPL entered into $200.0 million of interest rate derivatives for tenures of between 3-5 years (refer note 5.2).
Investment properties reclassified as investment properties held for sale
As at 31 March 2022, four Auckland office properties being: 21-25 Teed Street, 35 Teed Street, 7-9 Fanshawe Street and 80 Greys Avenue, with an
aggregate value of $82.8 million and a right-of-use asset of $11.4 million in respect to a ground lease at 7-9 Fanshawe Street, were reclassified from
investment properties to investment properties held for sale (refer note 3.5).
Revaluation of investment properties
SPL undertook independent valuations of the entire portfolio as at 31 March 2022 which resulted in a net change in fair value of investment properties of
$30.7 million (2021: $43.3 million) (refer note 3.2 ) and a revaluation surplus on property, plant and equipment of $0.4 million (2021: $0.3 million) (refer
note 8.7). The investment properties held by Investore, Industre Property Joint Venture (Industre) and Diversified NZ Property Trust (Diversified) were
also valued by independent valuers as at 31 March 2022. SPL’s share of the valuation gains/(losses) are reflected in share of profit in equity-accounted
investments and, for those properties in the Industre joint operation, reflected in net change in fair value of investment properties.
Impairment of equity-accounted investment - Investore
On 31 March 2022, the market value of the investment in Investore, based on the quoted market price, was below the investment’s carrying amount
under the equity method of accounting. SPL assessed whether objective evidence of impairment exists, the outcome of which was that an impairment
test has been performed. SPL has estimated the investment’s recoverable amount by performing value in use (VIU) and fair value less costs of disposal
valuation approaches. SPL has estimated the recoverable amount of the investment in Investore using VIU (as the higher of the two valuation approaches)
resulting in an impairment loss of $18.5 million (2021: $ nil) against the carrying amount of the investment (refer note 7.2).

1.0 General Information (continued)
1.5 Fair value estimation
Stride classifies its fair value measurement using a fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making measurements. The fair
value hierarchy has the following levels:
Level 1 - quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets 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 (as prices) or indirectly
(derived from prices); and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.
1.6 Non-GAAP measures
The consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes two non-GAAP measures: Profit before net finance expense, other income/(expense)
and income tax from continuing operations; and Profit before other income/(expense) and income tax from continuing operations. These non-GAAP
measures have been presented to assist investors in understanding the different aspects of Stride’s financial performance.
Note 4.2 sets out Stride’s calculation of distributable profit and Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) which are both non-GAAP measures.
Distributable profit is presented to provide an earnings measure which more closely aligns to Stride’s underlying and recurring earnings from its
operations. AFFO is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance. Cash spent during the period on capital expenditure as part of
maintaining a building’s grade/quality, but not expensed as part of distributable profit after current income tax, is adjusted to reflect cash earnings for
the year.
These non-GAAP measures do not have a standard meaning prescribed by GAAP and therefore may not be comparable to information presented by
other entities.
1.7 COVID-19 impacts
The COVID-19 Response (Management Measures) Legislation Act 2021, which was enacted in November 2021, mandated rent abatement by landlords
and resulted in SPL incurring additional rent abatement costs. For the year ended 31 March 2022, SPL provided rental abatements of $2.6 million
(2021: $3.4 million). Rental abatements accounted for as lease modifications amounted to $1.8 million (2021: $3.4 million). As a lease modification, the
reduction in rental income is capitalised and spread over the remainder of the tenant's non-cancellable lease term. The remaining $0.8 million (2021:
$ nil) of rental abatements were not treated as lease modifications and the reduction in rent was recognised in the period the rent relief occurred. In
addition, SPL has provided for $1.0 million (2021: $0.4 million) rental income abatements yet to be agreed with the affected tenants. The assumptions on
future impacts of COVID-19 considered by the valuers in their valuations are detailed in note 3.2.

The elimination for segment total assets and total liabilities in the prior year has been restated. This elimination relates to the lease liability and
right-of-use asset in relation to the operating lease for SIML's head office at 34 Shortland Street, Auckland, where SIML is the lessee. In the prior year,
the elimination was recognised as a SPL elimination.
As at 31 March 2022, SPL had assets of $322.0 million (2021: $269.1 million) relating to equity-accounted investments (refer note 7.2) and loan to
equity-accounted investments (refer note 8.4) which increased by $52.9 million from the prior financial year (2021: $161.8 million increase).

2.0 Operating Segments
This section sets out how Stride’s revenue streams are reported internally, reflecting the two operating segments being SPL and SIML.
Accounting policy
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker, identified as the
respective Board of each of SPL and SIML, as each makes all key strategic resource allocation decisions.
SPL’s revenue streams are earned from investment properties owned in Auckland and Wellington in New Zealand. Given SPL’s diverse client base, no
one tenant represents greater than 10% of the portfolio contract rental. SPL also generates income from its share of profit in equity associates being
Investore, Industre joint venture and Diversified (refer to note 7.2).
SIML’s revenue streams are earned from the management of the real estate investments of Investore, Industre, Diversified and SPL. For the revenue
earned from Investore, Industre joint venture and Diversified, refer to note 8.4 on related party disclosures and to note 7.3 on Industre joint operation.
The following is an analysis of Stride’s results, by reportable segments.

Accounting policy
Leases are classified at their inception as either an operating or finance lease based on the economic substance of the agreement so as to reflect
the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. Leases in which a significant portion of the risks and rewards of ownership are retained by the lessor
are classified as operating leases.
Properties leased out under operating leases are included in investment properties and investment properties classified as held for sale as
separately disclosed in the consolidated statement of financial position.
SPL has determined that it retains all significant risks and rewards of ownership of properties and has therefore classified the leases as operating leases.

3.0 Property
This section covers property assets which generate Stride’s trading performance.
3.1 Net rental income
Accounting policy
Investment property is leased by SPL to tenants under operating leases with rent payable monthly. Rental income from investment properties is
recognised on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives provided in relation to letting the investment properties are capitalised
to the respective investment properties or investment properties classified as held for sale in the consolidated statement of financial position and
amortised on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable portion of the lease to which they relate, as a reduction of rental income. Where a lease
provides for fixed rental increases over the term of the lease, they are amortised on a straight-line basis over the non-cancellable portion of the
lease to which they relate.
Income generated from service charges recovered from tenants are included in gross rental income with the service charge expenses to tenants
shown in the direct property operating expenses. Such revenue is recognised in the accounting period the underlying expenses are incurred in
accordance with the contractual terms.
The recovery of employee expenses from SIML managed entities are included in the gross rental income (as service charges recovered from
tenants) with the employee related costs shown in corporate overhead expenses.

Capital expenditure consists of seismic strengthening, base-build fit-outs and other physical enhancements to the investment properties, with ownership
of such capital amounts being retained by SPL.
During the year, the $13.9 million of disposals in relation to industrial investment properties relates to a reduction in SPL's proportionate ownership in the
Industre joint operations (refer note 7.2).
The net change in fair value of $30.7 million (2021: $43.3 million, being $38.8 million from continuing operations and $4.5 million from discontinued
operations) includes ($71,000) (2021: ($33,000)) in relation to the change in the value of the lease liabilities. In the current year, a revaluation movement
of $1.0 million (2021: $1.1 million) arising from the elimination of fees charged by SIML to SPL (refer note 2.0), has been reflected in the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income.
Valuations are performed by independent registered valuers who hold an annual practising certificate with the Valuers Registration Board and are
members of the New Zealand Institute of Valuers. Valuers are engaged on terms ensuring that no valuer values the same investment property for more
than three consecutive years. All valuations are dated effective 31 March 2022.
At each reporting date, SIML’s asset managers verify all major inputs to the independent valuation report and assess property valuation movements when
compared to the prior year valuation report. SIML’s executive team review the valuations performed by the independent valuers for financial reporting
purposes. This team reports directly to SIML’s Chief Executive Officer. Discussions of valuation processes and results are held between members of
SIML’s executive team and the independent valuers. Discussions of valuation processes and results are also held between SIML’s Chief Executive Officer
and the Audit and Risk Committee, at least once every six months, in line with SPL’s reporting dates. This review includes a review of specific independent
valuations and discussions with the independent valuers as considered necessary. Ultimately, SPL’s directors are responsible for reviewing and approving
the investment property valuations.
Investment property measurements are categorised as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. During the year there were no transfers of investment
properties between levels of the fair value hierarchy (2021: nil transfers).
Stride Property Group
Annual Report 2022

3.0 Property (continued)
3.2 Investment properties
Accounting policy
Investment properties are held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or both. Investment property is initially stated at cost, including
related transaction costs and then at fair value as determined at least every 12 months by an independent registered valuer.
The fair value of an investment property represents the estimated price for which a property could be sold for at the date of valuation in an orderly
transaction between market participants. The predominant methods for assessing the current fair value of an investment property are the Income
Capitalisation and the Discounted Cash Flow approaches. Each approach derives a value based on market inputs, including:
•recent comparable transactions where available;
•forecast future rentals, based on the actual location, type and quality of the investment property, and supported by the terms of any existing
lease, other contracts or external evidence such as current market rents for similar properties;
•vacancy assumptions based on current and expected future market conditions after expiry of any current lease; and
•appropriate discount rates derived from recent comparable market transactions reflecting the uncertainty in the amount and timing of
cash flows.
In addition, consideration is given to the maintenance and capital requirements including necessary investments to maintain functionality of the
property for its expected useful life.
Any gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of the investment property is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income within net change in fair value of investment properties. Subsequent expenditure is capitalised to the asset's carrying amount only when it is
probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to SPL and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. All other repairs
and maintenance costs are expensed to the consolidated statement of comprehensive income during the period in which they are incurred.
Investment properties are de-recognised when they have been disposed of. The net gain or loss on disposal is calculated as the difference
between the carrying amount at the time of the disposal and the net proceeds on the disposal and is included in the consolidated statement of
comprehensive income in the reporting period in which the disposal occurs.
SPL leases various properties under non-cancellable operating lease agreements. At the inception of a contract, SPL assesses whether a contract
is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time
in exchange for consideration.
Right-of-use assets are measured on initial recognition as the initial lease liability, plus any initial indirect costs incurred, less any lease incentives
received. Right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property are presented within investment properties and investment properties
classified as held for sale. SPL applies the fair value model to investment property, including right-of-use assets that meet the definition of
investment property.
Investment property is adjusted for cash flows relating to lease liabilities already recognised separately on the consolidated statement of financial
position and also reflected in the investment property valuations.
SIML does not hold investment properties but provides management services over SPL’s investment property portfolio.
In the prior financial year, SPL acquired an office building at 34 Shortland Street, Auckland. Stride’s head office is located in this building and the
value attributable to this floor has been recognised as property, plant and equipment (refer note 8.7). As at 31 March 2021, there was a $2.3 million
prepayment recognised in relation to future building upgrade works at 34 Shortland Street, Auckland. The total cost of the building upgrade works has
been re-assessed as $1.5 million with the remaining $0.8 million being released to the vendor. During the current year, $0.9 million of building upgrade
works have been completed with $0.6 million of additional works expected to be completed within the next 12 months.

particular investment property. Adjustments are then made to the value to reflect under or over renting, pending capital expenditure, and upcoming
expiries, including allowance for lessee incentives and leasing expenses.
•D
Diissccoouunntteedd CCaasshh FFllooww AApppprrooaacchh - adopts a ten-year investment horizon and makes appropriate allowances for rental income growth and leasing
expenses on expiries, with an estimated terminal value at the end of the investment period. The terminal yield is used to derive the terminal value.
Terminal yield rate estimates are based on comparable transaction data and also consider matters such as building age and the market environment
at the end of the investment period (10 years). The present value reflects the market-based income and expenditure projections, discounted at
a rate of return referred to as a discount rate. In selecting the discount rate, many factors are considered, including the degree of apparent risk,
market attitudes toward future inflation, the prospective rates of return for alternative investments and the rates of return earned by comparable
properties in the past.
In deriving a market value under each approach, all assumptions are based, where possible, on market-based evidence and transactions for properties
with similar locations, construction detail and quality of lessee covenant. The adopted market value is a combination of both the Income Capitalisation and
the Discounted Cash Flow approaches.
Works are required to improve the seismic performance of the office property at 55 Lady Elizabeth Lane, Wellington, although the exact nature of the
works required is still being confirmed, with engineers undertaking surveys of the property. In the current year, 55 Lady Elizabeth Lane, Wellington, has
been fair valued by the R
Reessiidduuaall AApppprrooaacchh, calculating what the property is expected to be worth on completion of the works on the property and
deducting all expected costs to complete them, including a profit and risk allowance. The valuers took into account an estimated $26.0 million allowance
to improve the seismic performance. As a result, the valuation of this property was reduced by the currently estimated cost of these works, contributing to
a devaluation of this property by $28.0 million.
In the prior financial year, 55 Lady Elizabeth Lane, Wellington, was fair valued by a combination of both the Income Capitalisation and the Discounted
Cash Flow approaches in line with the approach taken on all other valuations.
In the prior financial year, 22 The Terrace, Wellington, was valued on the Residual Approach due to the refurbishment programme at that time.

As at 31 March 2021, the independent valuation of SPL's portfolio included one property, being Johnsonville Shopping Centre, Wellington, which was
reported on the basis of 'material valuation uncertainty', meaning less certainty and a higher degree of caution should be applied to the valuations.
As at 31 March 2022, the 'material valuation uncertainty' clause has been removed from the independent valuation of Johnsonville Shopping Centre,
Wellington. The 'material valuation uncertainty' clause is therefore no longer included in any independent valuations of SPL's portfolio, however a number
of the valuations contain a 'market volatility/market risk' clause making reference to volatility of the real estate market, to which values may change more
significantly and rapidly than during standard market conditions.

3.0 Property (continued)
3.3 Lease liabilities
Accounting policy
Stride leases, as lessee, various property under non-cancellable operating lease agreements. At the inception of a contract, Stride assesses whether
a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a
period of time in exchange for consideration.
Lease liabilities are measured based on the present value of the fixed and variable lease payments, less any cash lease incentives receivable. Each
lease payment is allocated between the liability and finance cost. The finance cost is charged to the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income over the lease period so as to produce a constant rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period.
The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease. If that rate cannot be readily determined, which is generally the case
for leases in Stride, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used, being the rate that the individual lessee would have to pay to borrow the funds
necessary to obtain an asset of similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment with similar terms, security and conditions.
SIML has an operating lease for its head office at 34 Shortland Street, Auckland, where SIML is the lessee. SIML has recognised a right-of-use asset
within property, plant and equipment and a corresponding lease liability within interest bearing liabilities in relation to this lease. A 5.13% discount rate
was applied for property, plant and equipment, being the estimated incremental borrowing rate applied to the lease liabilities as at 1 April 2019. This
lease and right-of-use asset is eliminated in these financial statements.
SPL is committed under three operating leases where SPL is the lessee. There is one at each of the following properties:
•NorthWest Shopping Centre, Auckland;
•7-9 Fanshawe Street, Auckland; and
•55 Lady Elizabeth Lane, Wellington.
The SPL leases relate to ground rent on leasehold properties and contain renewal and termination options exercisable only by SPL.
The liabilities were measured at the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted at the rate as specified in the lease for investment
property being 6.25% for NorthWest Shopping Centre, Auckland, and 7.00% for 7-9 Fanshawe Street, Auckland. The lease term is reassessed if an
option is actually exercised (or not exercised) or SPL becomes obliged to exercise (or not exercise) it. The assessment of reasonable certainty is only
revised if a significant event or a significant change in circumstances occurs, which affects this assessment, and that is within the control of the lessee.
Included in the 31 March 2022 balance of investment property at valuation is an implicit right-of-use asset of $11.4 million (2021: $23.5 million) in
relation to a peppercorn ground lease at 55 Lady Elizabeth Lane, Wellington, with an associated immaterial lease liability.
The total lease liabilities amount of $15.9 million is in respect of the NorthWest Shopping Centre, Auckland, investment property with a ground lease at
31 March 2022 (2021: $27.5 million). During the year an $11.4 million lease liability and associated right-of-use asset, in respect to the ground lease
at 7-9 Fanshawe Street, Auckland, was reclassified to lease liability associated with investment properties classified as held for sale and investment
properties classified as held for sale, respectively. Refer to note 6.6 for maturity profile.

Cap rateThe capitalisation rate is applied to the market
rental to assess an investment property’s value. The
capitalisation rate is derived from detailed analysis of
factors such as comparable sales evidence and leasing
transactions in the open market, taking into account
location, tenant covenant – lease term and conditions,
WALT, size and quality of the investment property.
DecreaseIncreaseIncome Capitalisation
Discount rateThe discount rate is applied to future cash flows
of an investment property to provide a net present
value equivalent. The discount rate adopted takes
into account recent comparable market transactions,
prospective rates of return for alternative investments
and apparent risk.
DecreaseIncreaseDiscounted Cash Flow
Gross market rentalThe valuer’s assessment of gross market rental

investment property.

the property.
DecreaseIncreaseDiscounted Cash Flow
COVID-19 rental rebatesThe COVID-19 rental rebate allowances made in
the 10-year cash flow projection to allow for
tenant disruption.
DecreaseIncreaseDiscounted Cash Flow
Generally, a change in the assumption made for the adopted capitalisation rate is accompanied by a directionally similar change in the adopted discount
rate. It may also result in an adjustment to the terminal yield.
When calculating fair value using the Income Capitalisation approach, the gross market rent has a strong interrelationship with the adopted capitalisation
rate, given the methodology involves assessing the total gross market income receivable from the investment property and capitalising this in perpetuity
to derive a capital value. In theory, an increase in the gross market rent and an increase (softening) in the adopted capitalisation rate could potentially
offset the impact to the fair value. A decrease in the gross market rent and a decrease (tightening) in the adopted capitalisation rate could also potentially
offset the impact to fair value. A directionally opposite change in the gross market rent and the adopted capitalisation rate could potentially magnify the
impact on the fair value.
When assessing a discounted cash flow, the adopted discount rate and adopted terminal yield have a strong interrelationship in deriving a fair value, given
the discount rate will determine the rate at which the terminal value is discounted to the present value.
An increase (softening) in the adopted discount rate and a decrease (tightening) in the adopted terminal yield could potentially offset the impact to the fair
value. A decrease (tightening) in the discount rate and an increase (softening) in the adopted terminal yield could also potentially offset the impact to fair
value. A directionally similar change in the adopted discount rate and the adopted terminal yield could potentially magnify the impact to the fair value.

The movement in the weighted average number of shares over the comparable periods reflects the 66.95 million shares issued during November and
December 2021. Weighted average number of shares for the purpose of diluted EPS has been adjusted for 1,493,551 (2021: 1,391,424) rights issued
under SIML’s long term share incentive schemes, short term incentive rights and special grants.
Profit after income tax attributable to shareholders is lower in 2022 than 2021 by ($19.6 million) as a result of:
•higher net rental income of $15.1 million primarily due to the growth in the office investment property portfolio;
•project costs relating to the withdrawal of the proposed demerger and IPO of Fabric of ($4.5 million);
•higher net finance expense of ($2.7 million);
•lower net change in fair value of investment properties of ($8.1 million) over the comparable period; and
•impairment of equity-accounted investment in relation to Investore of ($18.5 million).

3.4 Capital expenditure commitments contracted for
As at 31 March 2022, SPL has the following commitments:
•$2.9 million (2021: $15.8 million) to complete seismic and building upgrade works at 22 The Terrace, Wellington.
•$2.5 million (2021: $ 0.8 million) for further building upgrades at 34 Shortland Street, Auckland.
•$0.8 million (2021: $ nil) for seismic works at 25 Teed Street, Auckland, and 35 Teed Street, Auckland.
•$0.1 million (2021: $0.6 million) for various other capital expenditure works to be undertaken in the next financial year.
Stride has no other material capital commitments as at 31 March 2022.
During the year, SPL’s wholly owned subsidiary, Fabric, entered into a conditional agreement to acquire a property at 110 Carlton Gore Road, Auckland,
from Mansons CGR Limited for a purchase price of $217.5 million. As at 31 March 2022, a $1.0 million non-refundable deposit and $0.6 million of
other costs associated with the purchase had been paid. Subsequent to balance date, the purchase price was reduced by $4.5 million to $213.0 million
and the agreement became unconditional with Fabric paying a further $7.0 million deposit (refer note 8.10). This property is under construction and is
currently expected to be completed in March 2023. The final purchase price is subject to adjustment following a final rentable area survey of the building
on completion.
To receive a return on funds committed during the development period, a loan will be advanced by Fabric to the vendor during the development of
up to $186.5 million, to be drawn down in stages according to specified milestones, and the vendor will pay interest on the amount outstanding at a
rate of 5.0% per annum, with the loan amount to be set off against the purchase price on settlement. Subsequent to balance date Fabric advanced
$124.5 million of this loan to the vendor (refer note 8.10).
3.5 Investment properties classified as held for sale
Accounting policy
Stride reclassifies an investment property to investment properties classified as held for sale when:
•the carrying value of the property is expected to be recovered through sale;
•the property is available for sale immediately subject only to terms that are usual and customary for such transactions; and
•the transaction is highly probable to occur.
The carrying value of the investment properties held for sale is the contracted sale price, being the best indicator of fair value. If a contracted price is
not available, the fair value is determined by an independent valuation.
Any gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value to the contracted price is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income
within net change in fair value of investment properties.
During the year, the SPL Board approved disposing the following office properties located in Auckland: 7-9 Fanshawe Street, 80 Greys Avenue,
21-25 Teed Street, and 35 Teed Street. Upon the change in intention from holding the investment properties to disposing of them, SPL reclassified the
properties from investment properties to investment properties classified as held for sale at a value of $82.8 million. An associated right-of-use asset of
$11.4 million for the ground lease at 7-9 Fanshawe Street was also reclassified from investment properties to investment properties classified as held
for sale.
Subsequent to balance date, SPL’s wholly owned subsidiary, Fabric, entered into an agreement to sell the four properties for $83.6 million and has
agreed to complete seismic work on two of the properties for a total of $0.8 million (refer note 8.10). As part of this transaction, the ground lease
associated with the $11.4 million right-of-use asset at 7-9 Fanshawe Street will be novated to the purchaser.

4.2 Distributable profit
Accounting policy
Stride’s dividend policy is to target a cash dividend to shareholders that is between 80% and 100% of its distributable profit. Distributable profit
is presented to enable investors to see an earnings measure which more closely aligns to Stride’s underlying and recurring earnings from its
operations. Distributable profit is a non-GAAP measure and consists of profit/(loss) before income tax, adjusted for determined non-recurring
and/or non-cash items, share of profits in equity-accounted investments, dividends received from equity-accounted investments and current tax.
Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) is also a non-GAAP measure and is intended as a supplementary measure of operating performance.
Although there is no standard meaning or measure per GAAP, AFFO has been determined based on guidelines established by the Property Council
of Australia. Cash spent during the period on capital expenditure as part of maintaining a building’s grade/quality, but not expensed as part of
distributable profit after current income tax, is adjusted to enable investors to see the cash generating ability of the business.

5.0 Capital Structure and Funding
Stride's capital structure includes debt and equity, comprising shares and retained earnings as shown in the consolidated statement of
financial position. This section sets out how Stride manages its capital structure, funding exposure to interest rate risk and related financing
costs (excluding borrowings within Industre joint operations, refer note 7.3).
5.1 Borrowings
Accounting policy
Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any
difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive
income over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities unless SPL has an
unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.

In December 2021, SPL refinanced its bank debt facilities across a consortium of six banks, increasing the facility by $145.1 million to $600.0 million
and extending the expiry dates to between 15 December 2024 and15 December 2026.
In accordance with the Green Finance Framework (Framework) of Fabric, $400.0 million of the new facilities are classified as green loan facilities. The
Framework has been developed to be consistent with the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (APLMA) Green Loan Principles (2021).
SPL’s bank borrowings are via syndicated senior secured facilities with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited (ANZ), China Construction Bank Corporation
(New Zealand Branch), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China Limited, Auckland Branch, MUFG Bank Limited (Auckland Branch), The Hongkong and
Shanghai Banking Corporation Limited, incorporated in the Hong Kong SAR, acting through its New Zealand Branch, and Westpac New Zealand Limited.
The bank security on the facilities is managed through a security agent who holds a first registered mortgage on all the investment properties directly
owned by SPL and its subsidiaries and a registered first ranking security interest under a General Security Deed over substantially all the assets of SPL.
SPL has been compliant with bank covenants during the respective periods.
SIML does not have any bank borrowings (2021: nil) however, it does have a $3.0 million overdraft facility with ANZ (2021: $3.0 million), which has not
been utilised during the respective periods.

5.2 Derivative financial instruments (continued)
The fair values of interest rate derivatives are determined from valuations prepared by independent treasury advisors using valuation techniques classified
as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy (2021: Level 2). Judgement is involved in determining the fair value by the independent treasury advisors. The fair
values are based on the present value of estimated future cash flows based on the terms and maturities of each contract and the current market interest
rates as at balance date. Fair values also reflect the current creditworthiness of the derivative counterparties. The valuations were based on market
rates at 31 March 2022 of between 1.61%, for the 90-day BKBM, and 3.41%, for the 10-year swap rate (2021: 0.35% and 1.96%, respectively).
There have been no transfers between Level 1 and 2 during the respective periods. There were no changes to these valuation techniques during the
reporting period.
The following sensitivity analysis represents the change in fair value of the interest rate derivatives and shows the effect on equity if the floating interest
rates on swaps (hedged bank borrowings) had been 0.25% higher or lower, with other variables remaining constant.

SPL does not hold derivative financial instruments for trading purposes.
SIML does not hold any interest rate derivatives (2021: nil).
5.3 Net finance expense
Accounting policy
Interest income is recognised on a time-proportional basis using the effective interest rate.
Where SPL borrows funds specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset, the amount of borrowing costs capitalised are the actual
borrowing costs incurred on that borrowing, less any investment income on the temporary investment of those borrowings. A qualifying asset is one
that takes six months or longer to prepare for its intended use or sale. Where SPL borrows funds generally and uses them to fund a qualifying asset,
the amount of borrowing costs capitalised is determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditure on that asset. The capitalisation rate
is the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made
specifically for the purpose of funding a qualifying asset.

In the current year, $0.1 million of bank borrowing interest expense was capitalised using an average capitalisation rate of 1.61% (2021: $0.2 million
and 2.41%).
Other borrowing costs are expensed when incurred and are recognised using the effective interest rate.
Stride Property Group
Annual Report 2022

5.0 Capital Structure and Funding (continued)
5.2 Derivative financial instruments
Accounting policy
Interest rate derivatives (derivative financial instruments) are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and
are subsequently measured at their fair value at each reporting date. Fair value of over-the-counter derivatives, such as interest rate swaps, is
determined using valuation techniques which maximise the use of observable data and rely as little as possible on entity-specific estimates.
Hedge effectiveness is determined at the inception of the hedge relationship, and through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to
ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument.
Hedge ineffectiveness for interest rate swaps may occur due to:
•the credit value/debit value adjustment on the interest rate swaps which is not matched by the loan; and
•differences in critical terms between the interest rate swaps and loans.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognised in the cash flow
hedge reserve within equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognised immediately in profit or loss, within the consolidated
statement of comprehensive income.
When a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss existing in equity at that time remains in equity and is
recognised when the forecast transaction is ultimately recognised in profit or loss.

Interest rate derivative contracts with a notional value of $200.0 million were entered into with an effective date of 31 December 2021 and a range of
termination dates between 31 December 2024 and 31 December 2026.
Following the refinancing of SPL's bank debt in December 2021, interest rate derivatives with a notional value of $60.0 million were terminated for a net
cost of $0.3 million, which has been expensed to finance expense in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (refer note 5.3).
At 31 March 2022, SPL had interest rate derivative contracts, with a notional value of $35.0 million, that had no drawn bank borrowings hedged against
them. As the hedged relationship for these contracts did not exist, the fair value movement of $1.3 million has been recognised in other income in the
consolidated statement of comprehensive income.
SPL typically designates its interest rate derivatives as cash flow hedges of the interest flows on its variable rate borrowings. SPL enters into interest rate
swaps that have similar critical terms as the hedged item, such as reference rate, reset dates, payment dates, maturities and notional amount.

Gains and losses recognised in the cash flow hedge reserve on interest rate derivative contracts (derivative financial instrument) will be reclassified in the
same period in which the hedged forecast cash flows affect profit or loss until the repayment of the bank borrowings.
5.7 Capital risk management
Stride’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard Stride’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders,
and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, Stride may adjust the amount
of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, buy back shares, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce borrowings. As part of its
capital risk management, SPL is required to comply with covenants imposed under its banking facility. The Board regularly monitors these covenants and
provides six-monthly compliance certificates to the banks as part of this process.
SPL has complied with these covenants during the relevant periods.

5.4 Share capital
Accounting policy
Shares are classified as equity when there is no obligation to transfer cash or other assets. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new
shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
There is only one class of shares, being ordinary shares, and they rank equally with each other. All issued shares are fully paid and have no par value.
SPL and SIML shares are “stapled” and jointly listed on the NZX (Stapled Securities). Each of SPL and SIML has 540,188,683 shares on issue as at
31 March 2022 (2021: 472,828,313).
Stapling of shares is a contractual and constitutional arrangement between the two Stapled Entities whereby each Stapled Entity’s equity securities are
combined with (or stapled to) the equity securities issued by the other Stapled Entity. The Stapled Entities have the same shareholders, and their shares
cannot be traded or transferred independently of one another. The Stapled Securities are traded as a single economic unit with a single quoted price.
During November and December 2021, Stride undertook an equity capital raise which resulted in a gross amount of $133.9 million raised. Net proceeds,
after transaction costs, of $131.4 million were used to repay $129.1 million of bank borrowings.
The Boards of SPL and SIML issued 406,710 Stapled Securities pursuant to employee share incentive schemes during the year.

6.0 Risk Management (continued)
6.2 Fair values
The carrying value of the following financial assets and liabilities approximate their fair value: cash at bank, trade and other receivables, loans to
associates, other current assets, deposits and other prepayments on investment properties, trade and other payables and bank borrowings.
6.3 Financial risk management
Stride’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. Stride’s overall risk management strategy focuses on
minimising the potential negative economic impact of unpredictable events on its financial performance.
Risk management is the responsibility of the Boards. The Boards identify and evaluate financial risks in close co-operation with management. The Boards
provide written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas, such as interest rate risk, credit risk, use of
derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investing excess liquidity.
6.4 Interest rate risk
As Stride has no significant interest bearing assets, its income and operating cash flows are substantially independent of changes in market interest rates.
SPL's interest rate risk arises from bank borrowings (note 5.1) which are issued at variable rates and expose SPL to cash flow interest rate risk. The long
term interest rate policy provides bands that are applied on a rolling basis, which provide for both a high level of fixed interest rate cover over the near
term, as well as a lengthy period of known fixed interest rate cover for a portion of term debt. SPL manages its cash flow interest rate risk by using floating
to fixed interest rate derivatives which have the economic effect of converting borrowings from floating to fixed rates.
As at 31 March 2022, SPL had fixed 110% of its drawn debt (2021: 88%). As SPL holds interest rate derivatives, there is a risk that their economic value
will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The value of interest rate derivatives is disclosed in note 5.2.
SPL's exposure to interest rate fluctuations is limited to the extent of all the non-hedged portions of bank borrowings which at balance date was $nil
(2021: $31.0 million). If floating interest rates were 0.25% higher or lower, with other variables remaining constant, the impact on total comprehensive
income after tax attributable to shareholders would be $nil (2021: higher or lower by $55,800).
SPL's exposure to variable interest rate risk and the weighted average interest rate for interest bearing financial assets and liabilities is as follows:

6.0 Risk Management
This section sets out Stride’s exposure to financial assets and liabilities that potentially subject Stride to financial risk and how Stride
manages those risks.
6.1 Financial instruments
Accounting policy
A financial instrument is recognised if Stride becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. Financial assets are de-recognised if
Stride’s contractual rights to the cash flows expire, or if Stride transfers them without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the
asset. Financial liabilities are de-recognised if Stride’s obligations specified in the contract are extinguished.
Stride classifies its financial assets and financial liabilities in the following measurement categories:
•those to be measured subsequently at fair value (either through other comprehensive income, or through profit or loss); and
•those to be measured at amortised cost.
Depending on the purpose for which the assets were acquired, Stride classifies its assets as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and
financial assets at amortised cost. Classification is determined at initial recognition and this designation is re-evaluated at every reporting date.
Financial assets at amortised cost are those assets with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. They are included in
current assets, except for those with maturities greater than 12 months after balance date, which are classified as non-current assets.
On initial recognition of a financial asset, Stride assesses, on a forward-looking basis, the expected credit loss associated with its financial assets
carried at amortised cost. At each reporting date, the credit risk on a financial asset, apart from trade and other receivables, is assessed to
determine whether there has been a significant increase in the credit risk by considering both forward looking information and the financial history of
counterparties to assess the probability of default or likelihood that full settlement is not received.
Financial liabilities at amortised cost are measured at amortised cost and include borrowings and trade and other payables.

7.0 Investments in Property Entities
This section sets out how the investments in property entities held by SPL are accounted for in Stride.
7.1 Industre
On 1 July 2020, Industre commenced operations. Industre is a joint arrangement between SPL and a group of international institutional investors,
through a special purpose vehicle, advised by J.P. Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM). On 1 July 2020, SPL held a 68.3% interest in Industre. This has
reduced to 51.7% as at 31 March 2022 (2021: 56.3%).
Over the long term, the strategy is for JPMAM to fund further portfolio growth until the respective economic contributions to the portfolio are 75%/25%
(JPMAM/SPL).
The agreement between SPL and JPMAM in relation to their co-ownership requires unanimous consent from both parties for all relevant activities. The
accounting for the arrangements by SPL is a combination of a joint operation (proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses) and joint
venture (equity accounted). SIML is the manager of the joint arrangement.
7.2 Interests in associates and joint venture
Accounting policy
Interests in associates and the joint venture are accounted for using the equity method and are stated in the consolidated statement of financial
position at cost, adjusted for the movement in SPL’s share of their net assets and liabilities. Under this method, SPL’s share of profits and losses
after tax of associates and profit and loss before tax of the joint venture are included in SPL’s profit before taxation. Adjustments to the carrying
amount are also made for SPL’s share of changes in the associates’ and the joint venture’s other comprehensive income. SPL’s accounting policy is
not to take account of the effects of transactions recorded directly in equity outside profit or loss and other comprehensive income.
Under the equity method, gain or loss resulting from transfer of investment properties to associates and the joint venture in exchange for cash or
shares is recognised only to the extent of the other investors’ interest in the associates or the joint venture, however when cash and shares are
received, the portion of the gain or loss relating to cash is recognised in full.
At each reporting date, SPL assesses its equity accounted investments to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any
such indication exists, then the investments’ recoverable amount is estimated as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its
carrying amount.
The recoverable amount is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs of disposal. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash
flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the
risks specific to the asset or cash generating unit. Fair value less costs of disposal is the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly
transaction between market participants at the measurement date, less the costs of disposal.
If the carrying amount of an equity accounted investment exceeds its recoverable amount, an impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss and
is applied to the carrying amount of equity accounted investment. Such impairment loss is not allocated to the underlying assets that make up the
carrying amount of the equity accounted investment. Impairment loss is subsequently reversed only to the extent that the recoverable amount of the
investment subsequently increases.
Set out below are the associates and the joint venture of SPL as at 31 March 2022, which, in the opinion of the directors, are material to SPL.

6.0 Risk Management (continued)
6.5 Credit risk
Stride incurs credit risk from trade receivables, accrued income receivable, loan to associate and transactions with financial institutions including cash
balances and interest rate derivatives. Stride is not exposed to any concentrations of credit risk apart from the loan to associate.
The risk associated with trade receivables is managed with a credit policy which includes performing credit evaluations on all customers requiring credit
and ensures that only those customers with appropriate credit histories are provided with credit. In addition, receivable balances are monitored on an
ongoing basis, with the result that Stride's exposure to bad debts is not significant.
As SPL has a wide spread of tenants over different industry sectors, it is not exposed to any significant concentration of credit risk.
The risk from financial institutions is managed by placing cash and deposits with high credit quality financial institutions only. Stride has placed its cash
and deposits with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited and Westpac New Zealand Limited, both AA- rated (Standard & Poor’s).
With respect to the credit risk arising from interest rate swap agreements, there is limited risk as all counterparties are registered banks in New Zealand
whose credit ratings are all AA- (Standard & Poor’s).
The maximum exposure to credit risk is the carrying amount of each class of financial assets as reported in note 6.1.
6.6 Liquidity risk
Prudent liquidity risk management implies maintaining sufficient cash, the availability of funding through an adequate amount of committed credit
facilities, and the ability to close out market positions. Stride’s liquidity position is monitored on a regular basis and is reviewed quarterly by the Boards to
ensure compliance with internal policies and banking covenants as per SPL's syndicated lending facility.
SPL generates sufficient cash flows from its operating activities to meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities and has the bank facility available
to cover potential shortfalls. Further detail about the undrawn bank facility available is given in note 5.1.
The following table outlines Stride’s liquidity profile, as at 31 March, based on contractual non-discounted cash flows.

7.0 Investments in Property Entities (continued)
7.2 Interests in associates and joint venture (continued)
Investore
Given the extent of SPL's equity investment as at balance date of 18.8% (2021: 18.8%), the appointment of SIML as manager, and that two of SIML's
current directors are also directors of Investore, the SPL Board has concluded that SPL has "significant influence" over Investore. As such, SPL's
investment in Investore has been treated as an interest in an associate. SPL is not subject to any escrow arrangements that prevent it from selling or
otherwise disposing of any shares that it holds.
On 31 March 2022, the market value of the investment in Investore, based on the quoted market price, was below the investment’s carrying amount
under the equity method of accounting. SPL assessed whether objective evidence of impairment exists, the outcome of which was that an impairment
test has been performed by performing value in use (VIU) and fair value less costs of disposal valuation approaches. SPL has estimated the recoverable
amount of the investment in Investore using VIU (as the higher of the two valuation approaches).
The key inputs and assumptions in determining the recoverable amount of this investment through the VIU approach were a pre-tax discount rate of
6.3% and a terminal value growth rate of 2.25% from the year ended 31 March 2028 which resulted in an impairment loss of $18.5 million against the
carrying amount of the investment.
The estimated sensitivity on the recoverable amount under the VIU approach if the terminal value growth rate and pre-tax discount rate assumptions were
to increase/decrease is provided below:

Change %77((66))((55))66
These assumptions are based on the Boards' and management's judgement and estimates and may be impacted by the uncertainty in market and
economic conditions. When recoverable amount is estimated through a VIU calculation, critical judgements and estimates are made regarding future cash
flows and an appropriate discount rate. When a fair value less cost of disposal is estimated, critical judgements and estimates are made in relation to the
appropriate premium in assessing fair value of investment as a whole.
Diversified
Given the appointment of SIML as manager, and that one of SIML's current directors is also on Diversified's Investment Committee, the SPL Board has
concluded that SPL retains "significant influence" over Diversified. As such, SPL's investment in Diversified has been treated as an interest in an associate.
As at 31 March 2022, SPL has an interest-bearing loan receivable of $3.4 million (2021: $3.4 million) with Diversified. This loan is due for repayment on
12 August 2026.
Industre Joint Venture
Industre joint venture comprises Industre Property Tahi Limited (Tahi), Industre Property Rua Limited (Rua) and FinCo. SPL has rights to the net assets of
these entities, and consequently these entities are classified as a joint venture.
Tahi and Rua hold legal and beneficial ownership of certain properties. FinCo is a funding vehicle established to obtain bank borrowings and on-lend the
funds to Tahi, Rua and Industre joint operation. SPL’s wholly owned subsidiary, Stride Industrial Property Limited (SIPL), is a guarantor under the Industre
banking arrangements as SIPL is a beneficial owner of property owned through the unincorporated joint venture of Industre and as such is jointly and
severally liable for Industre's bank borrowings. SIPL has the benefit of, and bears obligations under, a cross indemnity with JPMAM by way of the joint
venture arrangements. As at 31 March 2022, the value of the financial guarantee was $nil.
Tahi and Rua are eligible and have elected to be multi-rate Portfolio Investment Entities of which the income tax liability arises to the investors.
Accordingly, SPL recognises current and deferred tax as part of its taxes in note 8.1 (rather than as part of the investment in the joint venture).
Summarised financial information for associates and joint venture
The tables on the following pages provide summarised financial information for the associates and the joint venture of SPL and reflects the amounts
presented in the financial statements of the relevant associates, not SPL’s share of those amounts. They have been amended to reflect adjustments made
by Stride when using the equity method, including fair value adjustments and modifications for differences in accounting policy.
SPL’s share in the Industre joint venture reduced from 68.3% as at 30 June 2020 to 51.7% as at 31 March 2022 (2021: 56.3%). Consequently, the
net share of profit has been calculated on the weighted average participating interest during the relevant period. SPL’s share of profit for Industre joint
venture in 2021 relates to the period 1 July 2020 to 31 March 2021.
The difference between the closing carrying amount and share at carrying percentage for Industre joint venture relates to the $0.9 million loss on sale
of properties in exchange for cash received from Industre joint venture in the prior financial year. This difference has carried forward to the balance as at
31 March 2022.

7.3 Interest in joint arrangements
Accounting policy
Investments in joint arrangements are classified as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on the contractual rights and obligations of
each investor, rather than the legal structure of the joint arrangement.
SPL holds a 50% interest in a joint arrangement with Diversified relating to the investment property at Johnsonville Shopping Centre, Wellington.
SPL holds a 51.7% interest in a joint arrangement with JPMAM relating to the investment properties as denoted in note 3.2.
Johnsonville joint operation
The agreement between SPL and Equity Trustees Limited (as trustee of Diversified) in relation to their co-ownership requires unanimous consent from all
parties for all relevant activities. The two parties have direct rights to the asset and are jointly and severally liable for the liabilities incurred in relation to
the co-owned asset. This arrangement is therefore classified as a joint operation and SPL recognises its direct right to the jointly held assets, liabilities,
revenues and expenses as described below. SIML is the manager of the joint arrangement.

7.4 Discontinued operations
Discontinued operations refer to a core part of an entity’s operation that has been divested. In the prior financial year, the establishment of Industre
resulted in SPL divesting a significant portion of its industrial portfolio. This met the definition of a discontinued operation.
Only AP SG 17 Pte. Ltd's participating interest was treated as discontinued in respect of the joint operation as SPL retained a partial direct ownership
interest in the properties. All of the financial performance and cash flows pertaining to the properties that were transferred to the Industre joint venture
(refer note 7.2) have been treated as discontinued.
The financial performance and cash flow information for the discontinued operations are for the period ended 30 June 2020 (2021 column). There is no
impact on the results for the year ended 31 March 2022.

*SPL’s share in the Industre joint operation reduced from 68.3% as at 30 June 2020 to 51.7% as at 31 March 2022 (2021: 56.3%). Consequently, the
net share of profit has been calculated on the weighted average participating interest during the relevant period. SPL’s share of profit for Industre joint
operation in 2021 relates to the period 1 July 2020 to 31 March 2021.
SPL’s portion of the borrowings in the Industre joint operation are with FinCo, which is in the Industre joint venture. This loan is on the same terms
as the banking facility with FinCo, however is payable on demand if called on by FinCo. As at 31 March 2022, SPL and JPMAM, as the participants,
have agreed these borrowings will not be called by FinCo in the next 12 months, unless called on by FinCo’s banking syndicate (which is a non-current
borrowing). As such SPL’s portion of the borrowings in the Industre joint operation have been classified as non-current in the consolidated statement of
financial position.
The below fee income was earned by SIML from the Industre joint operation. It represents the participating interest held by the participant AP SG 17 Pte.
Limited. The management fees paid from SPL to SIML are eliminated in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The balance receivable
represents the participating interest held by the participant AP SG 17 Pte. Limited.

8.1 Income tax (continued)
Accounting policy
Deferred tax is provided, using the liability method, on all temporary differences between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts for financial reporting purposes. Temporary differences include:
•tax liability arising from accumulated depreciation claimed on investment properties, where applicable;
•tax asset arising from the allowance for impairment;
•tax liability arising from certain prepayments and other assets; and
•tax asset/liability arising from the unrealised gains/losses on the revaluation of interest rate swaps.
For deferred tax liabilities or assets arising on investment property measured at fair value, it is assumed that the carrying amounts of the investment
property will be recovered through sale. Investment properties are independently valued each year and the valuation includes a split between the
land and building components. Deferred tax is provided on the depreciation claimed to date on the building component of the investment properties
and this places reliance on the valuation split provided by the valuers.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate
to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to
settle the balances on a net basis.

Long term incentive plan
SIML operates a long term incentive plan for its executive team that is intended to align the interests of key employees with the interests of shareholders
and provide a continuing incentive to key employees over the long term horizon. SIML receives services from the employees in exchange for the
employees receiving share based payments only if specified hurdles, relating to the performance of Stride, are achieved.
The plan provides for the selected employees to be granted rights to be issued as shares for nil consideration if certain performance hurdles are met.
SIML has a number of schemes in place. The table below summarises the types of schemes and movement of the share performance rights during
the year:

The key features of the plans are as follows:
•the rights are granted for nil consideration and have a nil exercise price;
•rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights prior to vesting;
•each right that vests entitles the employee to receive one fully paid ordinary share in each of SPL and SIML. The shares issued on vesting carry full
voting and dividend rights; and
•the individual must remain an employee of SIML as at the relevant vesting date for any rights to vest.
The participating employees will be liable for the income tax cost of the award of shares and may choose to sell some or all shares to fund this cost upon
issue of the shares. The participants receive one share for every performance right that vests on a tranche date for nil consideration.
The rights under the FY20 scheme were subject to the performance conditions that Total Shareholder Return (TSR) hurdles (relative and absolute) were
met before a right would vest. No performance conditions were met and consequently100% of the rights lapsed.
The rights under the FY21 scheme are subject to the performance conditions that TSR hurdles (relative (50%) and absolute (50%)) are met before a right
will vest.
Under the FY22 scheme 50% of the rights are subject to a relative TSR hurdle and 50% are subject to an achievement of strategic initiatives hurdle to be
met before they will vest.
The share performance rights are measured at fair value at grant date, which is in reference to the fair value of the instruments granted rather than the fair
value of the services from the employees.
The key features of the relative TSR performance conditions are as follows:
•the benchmark comparator is seven companies;
•the proportion of the rights subject to the relative TSR performance condition which vest is dependent on Stride’s TSR performance relative to the
TSR performance of the seven benchmarked companies making up the NZX Property Index; and
•the percentage of the TSR related rights which vest scales according to the relative ranking of Stride’s TSR.

The fair value of rights granted in relation to the FY22 TSR performance proportion was independently determined using the Monte Carlo
simulation model.
The key assumptions adopted were:
•a risk free rate of 0.45%;
•a TSR testing start price of $2.17 (being the average 20 day share price up to 1 April 2021 the start of the performance period);
•volatility (standard deviation) for Stride and the comparator companies was based on the annualised volatility for the three years prior to grant date
with the volatility for Stride being 27.0% and the average for the comparator group being 22.0%; and
•all data used to derive the valuation was pre-tax (to Stride and employee).
The key features of achievement of the strategic initiatives component of the FY22 scheme are as follows:
•the proportion of rights which vest is dependent on certain KPI targets being met over the performance period; and
•the percentage of the strategic initiatives related rights which vest scales according to the level of KPI’s achieved. An 80% probability of achieving
this component has been assumed.
Further share performance rights under the long term incentive plan may be issued on an annual basis. However, the terms of the plan, eligible
participants, and offers of further share performance rights may be modified by the SIML Board from time to time, subject to the requirements of the NZX
Listing Rules and applicable laws.
Short term incentive plan
During the year, the SIML Board granted 284,642 rights to executives and other employees of SIML as part of the FY21 short term incentive
compensation for these employees in connection with their exceptional performance during FY21. These rights vest after 31 March 2023 balance date,
if the relevant employee remains employed by SIML.
Special share award
A special share award was granted to executives on 16 December 2020. On 13 April 2021, 142,257 ordinary shares in each of SIML and SPL (i.e.
142,257 Stapled Securities) were issued to executives in respect of exceptional performance in FY21. Post balance date, the Boards of SIML and SPL
resolved to issue a further and final 142,257 ordinary shares in each of them (i.e. 142,257 Stapled Securities) under this special share award (refer
note 8.10).

Accounting policy
Trade and other receivables are recognised at their fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
Stride has applied the simplified approach to measuring expected credit loss as prescribed by NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments, which uses a
lifetime expected loss allowance. A loss allowance is made when there is objective evidence (such as the probability of insolvency or significant
financial difficulties of the debtor) that Stride will not be able to collect all of the amounts due under the original terms of the invoice.

a further equity contribution in Industre Joint Venture (refer note 7.2). The difference between the income received and the $3.0 million accrued
income receivable from AP SG 17 Pte. Limited as at 31 March 2021 of $0.5 million was recognised through the net change in fair value of industrial

8.10 Subsequent events
On 5 April 2022, an agreement to which SPL’s wholly owned subsidiary, Fabric, was a party, became unconditional. The agreement was in relation to the
acquisition of 110 Carlton Gore Road, Auckland. Fabric paid a further deposit of $7.0 million at that date. The purchase price, originally $217.5 million,
was reduced by $4.5 million to $213.0 million. This property is under development and is currently expected to be completed in March 2023 at which
time the acquisition is expected to settle. The final purchase price is subject to adjustment following a final rentable area survey of the building on
completion. Fabric will advance up to $186.5 million to the vendor by way of a loan during the period of construction, provided certain milestones have
been met. On the unconditional date, in accordance with the vendor loan agreement, the $8.0 million paid to-date to the vendor formed the first tranche
(Tranche A) under the loan facility. On 21 April 2022, Fabric advanced a further $124.5 million of this loan to the vendor, and the vendor will pay interest
on the amount outstanding at a rate of 5.0% p.a., with the loan amount to be set off against the purchase price on settlement. The remainder of the
purchase price (less an amount of $0.5 million) will be paid on settlement, with the final $0.5 million paid following a defects liability period. The property
will be fully leased on settlement at completion of the development, as the vendor has committed to take a lease of any remaining vacant space at
settlement in accordance with commercial terms agreed between the parties.
On 5 April 2022, Fabric entered into an agreement to sell four Auckland office properties, being 21-25 Teed Street, 35 Teed Street, 7-9 Fanshawe
Street and 80 Greys Avenue, for an aggregate price of $83.6 million to Mansons CGR Limited. As part of the disposal, Fabric has committed to undertake
seismic upgrades at 21-25 Teed Street and 35 Teed Street. This work had already been identified and is expected to cost $0.75 million. In addition,
Fabric has agreed to take a lease of certain space at 80 Greys Avenue for a period of up to 12 months should a key tenant in this building not renew
their lease upon expiry on 30 September 2022. The sale of 25 Teed Street completed on 29 April 2022 and the sale of 35 Teed Street is expected
to complete on 30 June 2022. The sale of the second tranche of properties, comprising 80 Greys Avenue and 7-9 Fanshawe Street, is expected to
complete on 30 September 2022. As part of this transaction, the ground lease associated with the $11.4 million right-of-use asset at 7-9 Fanshawe
Street will be novated to the purchaser.
On 6 April 2022, the Boards of SIML and SPL resolved to issue 142,257 ordinary shares in each of them (i.e. 142,257 Stapled Securities) under the
SIML special share award to executives in respect of exceptional performance in FY21.

8.8 Investment in subsidiaries
Accounting policy
A subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Parent whereby the Parent has power over the investee, is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns
from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
The financial statements of the subsidiaries are included in the financial statements of Stride from the date that control commences until the date that
control ceases. The subsidiaries apply the same accounting policies as Stride.
The acquisition method of accounting has been used to consolidate the subsidiaries of the Parent. All intra-group transactions and balances between
group companies have been eliminated on consolidation.

Independent auditor’s report (continued)
Description of the key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Valuation of investment property
The valuation of investment properties is inherently subjective given that
there are alternative assumptions and valuation methods that may result
in a range of values.
We held discussions with the Manager to understand the movements
in SPL’s investment property portfolio; changes in the condition of each
property; the controls in place over the valuation process; and the impact
that COVID-19 has had on the investment property portfolio including
tenant rent abatements and tenant occupancy risk arising from changes
in the estimated churn on lease renewal.
In assessing the individual valuations, we read the valuation reports for all
properties. We also held separate discussions with each of the Valuers in
order to gain an understanding of the assumptions and estimates used
and the valuation methodology applied. We also sought to understand
and consider restrictions imposed on the valuation process (if any) and
the market conditions at the balance date.
We confirmed that the valuation approach for each property was
in accordance with accounting standards and suitable for use in
determining the fair value of investment properties at 31 March 2022.
Our work over the assumptions focused on the largest properties
in the portfolio where the assumptions used and/or year-on-year
fair value movement suggested a possible outlier versus market
data. We engaged our own in-house valuation expert to critique and
independently assess the work performed and assumptions used by the
Valuers on a sample basis. In particular, we obtained an understanding
of the key inputs in the valuation, agreed contractual rental and
lease terms to lease agreements with tenants, considered whether
seismic assessments and/or capital maintenance requirements had
been taken into account in the valuations with reference to supporting
documentation and validated that COVID-19 relief provided to tenants
had been factored into the valuations and that changes in tenant
occupancy risk were also incorporated. In addition, for Lady Elizabeth
Lane, we obtained evidence to support the estimated cost to complete
and assessed the reasonableness of profit and risk allowance deducted
from the ‘as if complete’ valuation.
With regards to the impact of climate-related risks on the property
valuations, while the Valuers confirmed in our discussions that these
were considered, the Valuers made no explicit adjustments to their
valuations as at 31 March 2022 in respect of climate-related matters.
We considered whether or not there was a bias in determining significant
assumptions in individual valuations and found no evidence of bias.
We also assessed the Valuers’ qualifications, expertise and their
objectivity and we found no evidence to suggest that the objectivity of
any Valuer, in their performance of the valuations, was compromised.
It was also evident from our discussions with the Manager and the
Valuers and from our review of the valuation reports that close attention
had been paid to each property’s individual characteristics and its overall
quality, geographic location and desirability as a whole.
We considered the appropriateness of disclosures made in the
financial statements.
As disclosed in Note 3.2 of the financial statements, SPL’s investment
property portfolio comprising: office, town centre and industrial
properties was valued at $1,155.4 million (excluding lease liabilities and
investment property classified as held for sale) as at 31 March 2022.
The valuation of SPL’s investment property portfolio is inherently
subjective due to, amongst other factors, the individual nature of each
property, location and the expected future rental income for each
property. A small percentage difference in any one of the key individual
assumptions used in the property valuations, when aggregated, could
result in a material misstatement of the overall valuation of investment
properties and considering the significance of investment property to
Stride, this is a key audit matter.
The valuations were performed by independent registered valuers,
Bayleys Valuations Limited, CBRE Limited, CVAS (NZ) Limited, CVAS
(WLG) Limited, Jones Lang LaSalle Limited and Savills (NZ) Limited (the
Valuers) as engaged by SIML, the Manager. The Valuers engaged by
SIML are experienced in the markets in which SPL operates and are
rotated across the portfolio on a three-yearly cycle.
In determining a property's valuation, the Valuers predominantly used
two approaches to determine the fair value of an investment property:
the Income Capitalisation approach and the Discounted Cash Flow
approach to arrive at a range of valuation outcomes, from which the
Valuers derive a point estimate. For the property at 55 Lady Elizabeth
Lane, Wellington (Lady Elizabeth Lane), the Residual approach has
been used.
For each property, the Valuers take into account property specific
information such as the current tenancy agreements and rental income
earned by the asset. They then apply assumptions in relation to
capitalisation rate, discount rate, gross market rental, rental growth
rate and terminal yield. For Lady Elizabeth Lane, the valuation
incorporates deductions for estimated costs to complete and a profit
and risk allowance.
Due to the unique nature of each property, the assumptions applied take
into consideration the individual property characteristics at a granular
tenant by tenant level, as well as the qualities of the property as a whole.

Independent auditor’s report
To the shareholders of Stride Property Limited and Stride Investment Management Limited
Our opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Stride Property Group, which consists of Stride Property Limited and its controlled
entities (SPL) and Stride Investment Management Limited (SIML) (together Stride), present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Stride
as at 31 March 2022, its financial performance and its cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International
Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
What we have audited
Stride's consolidated financial statements comprise:
•the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 March 2022;
•the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year then ended;
•the consolidated statement of changes in equity for the year then ended;
•the consolidated statement of cash flows for the year then ended; and
•the notes to the consolidated financial statements, which include significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs).
Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
section of our report.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Independence
We are independent of Stride in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (including
International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) (PES 1) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International
Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence Standards) issued by the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants (IESBA Code), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
Our firm carries out tenancy marketing and operating expenditure and performance fee calculation audits for Stride and performed an investigating
accountant’s role which resulted in the issuance of a limited assurance report. In addition, certain partners and employees of our firm may deal with
Stride on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities. The provision of these other services has not impaired our independence as auditor
of Stride.
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, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Independent auditor’s report (continued)
How we tailored our group audit scope
We tailored the scope of our audit in order to perform sufficient work to enable us to provide an opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a
whole, taking into account the structure of Stride, the accounting processes and controls, and the industry in which Stride operates.
Other information
The Directors of SPL and SIML respectively are responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the information included in the
Annual Report, but does not include the consolidated financial statements and our auditor's report thereon.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of audit opinion or 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 in the audit, or otherwise appears to
be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed on the other information that we obtained prior to the date of this auditor’s report, 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.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial statements
The Directors of SPL and SIML respectively are responsible, on behalf of Stride, for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial
statements in accordance with NZ IFRS and IFRS, and for such internal control as the Directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of
consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the Directors of SPL and SIML respectively are responsible for assessing Stride’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 SPL or SIML or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated 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 ISAs (NZ) and ISAs 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 our responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements is located at the External Reporting Board’s website at:
https://www.xrb.govt.nz/assurance-standards/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-1/
This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
Who we report to
This report is made solely to the shareholders of SPL and SIML, as a body. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state those matters
which 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 Stride and the shareholders of SPL and SIML, as a body, for our audit work, for this report or for the opinions we
have formed.
The engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditor’s report is Samuel Shuttleworth.

Description of the key audit matterHow our audit addressed the key audit matter
Investment in Investore Property Limited
Our audit procedures in relation to Stride’s investment in Investore
considered the carrying value of the investment at 31 March 2022,
in particular, the determination of the investment’s recoverable amount.
In relation to the recoverable amount, we performed the following
audit procedures:
•We held discussions with SIML to gain an understanding of the
assumptions used in determining the investment’s recoverable
amount as determined using fair value less costs of disposal and
value in use methodologies;
•We assessed the report prepared by SIML’s independent expert
on their valuation advice to support SIML’s fair value less costs of
disposal valuation assessment of the investment;
•We also considered SIML’s value in use valuation including the
underlying assumptions applied in determining the recoverable
amount of the investment; and
•We engaged our own in-house expert to evaluate the two valuation
methodologies undertaken by SIML, the key judgements and
assumptions applied and the reasonableness of the recoverable
amount of the investment at 31 March 2022.
We also considered the appropriateness of disclosures made in the
financial statements in relation to Stride’s investment in Investore.
As disclosed in Note 7.2 of the financial statements, Stride holds an
18.8% share in Investore Property Limited (Investore) and this interest is
accounted for using the equity method. Investore is listed on the NZX.
As at 31 March 2022, the carrying value of Stride’s investment in
Investore was $143.2 million after recognising an impairment charge
of $18.5 million.
SIML, as the manager, undertook an impairment assessment of SPL's
investment in Investore as Investore’s share price has continued to
trade below the investment’s carrying amount under the equity method
of accounting.
The Manager performed both a fair value less costs of disposal and
a value in use calculation to determine the higher of the investment’s
recoverable amount.
A value in use methodology was used by SIML to determine the
recoverable amount of the investment and the resulting impairment loss
of $18.5 million which was recognised at 31 March 2022.
This is a key focus of our audit due to the inherent judgement in
assessing impairment and the assumptions applied. The most significant
of these assumptions are disclosed in Note 7.2.
Our audit approach
Overview
Overall group materiality: $2.8 million, which represents approximately 5% of profit before tax excluding the net
change in fair value of investment properties and impairment of equity-accounted investment.
We applied this benchmark because, in our view, it is reflective of the metric against which the performance of Stride
is most commonly measured by users
We selected transactions and balances to audit based on the overall group materiality to Stride rather than
determining the scope of procedures to perform by auditing only specific subsidiaries or entities.
As reported above, we have two key audit matters, being:
•Valuation of investment property; and
•Investment in Investore Property Limited.
As part of designing our audit, we determined materiality and assessed the risks of material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. In
particular, we considered where management made subjective judgements; for example, in respect of significant accounting estimates that involved
making assumptions and considering future events that are inherently uncertain. As in all of our audits, we also addressed the risk of management
override of internal controls, including among other matters, consideration of whether there was evidence of bias that represented a risk of material
misstatement due to fraud.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. An audit is designed to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the
consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement. Misstatements may arise due to fraud or error. They are considered material if,
individually or in aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated
financial statements.
Based on our professional judgement, we determined certain quantitative thresholds for materiality, including the overall group materiality for the
consolidated financial statements as a whole as set out above. These, together with qualitative considerations, helped us to determine the scope of
our audit, the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually and in aggregate, on the
consolidated financial statements as a whole.

The Boards of Stride
Investment Management
Limited (SIML) and Stride
Property Limited (SPL)
consider strong corporate
governance to be essential for
a sustainable and successful
business.
This section of the Annual
Report provides an overview
of the corporate governance
policies and practices adopted
and followed by the Boards of
Directors of SPL and SIML.
This statement is current as at
1 May 2022.
Overview of Stride and its
Governance Framework
SPL and SIML are both companies incorporated in
New Zealand under the Companies Act. SPL and SIML are
‘Stapled Entities’, with the ordinary shares of SPL and SIML
stapled together and quoted on the Main Board equity
securities market of NZX under a single ticker code ‘SPG’.
This means that one share of SIML and one share of SPL
must be traded together as a single parcel. SPL and SIML are
together referred to as “Stride Property Group” or “Stride”.
Stride has a ‘non-standard’ (NS) designation due to its stapled
structure. The waivers from the Listing Rules that have
been granted by NZX to give effect to that stapled structure
are described on pages 159 and 160. The implications
of investing in the stapled securities of SPL and SIML are
described on page 161.
This section of the Annual Report provides an overview of
Stride’s corporate governance framework and includes
commentary on the compliance by Stride with each of the
eight corporate governance principles and recommendations
of the NZX Corporate Governance Code (NZX Code) for the
year ended 31 March 2022, together with other legal and
regulatory disclosures.
For the reporting period, Stride considers that its corporate
governance practices are materially consistent with the
NZX Code.
Stride’s governance framework is set out in Diagram 1.

Directors should set high standards
of ethical behaviour, model this
behaviour and hold management
accountable for these standards
being followed throughout the
organisation.
The Stride Boards set high standards of ethical behaviour
which inform the overall corporate governance and business
practices of SPL and SIML. There are four key behaviours that
guide Stride’s business operations, inform Stride’s culture, and
differentiate Stride from other organisations:
Stride celebrates employees who demonstrate these
behaviours through regular “In Stride” awards at
company-wide meetings. All employees are able to
nominate their colleagues for an “In Stride” award,
with the awards decided by the SIML Executive Team.
This encourages employees to think about how these
behaviours guide them and their colleagues in their
work practices.
Code of Ethics
To support and reinforce the Stride behaviours, Stride
has adopted a Code of Ethics which sets the standard
expected by the Stride Boards and the employees of SIML
when conducting Stride’s business. The Code of Ethics
sets the following standards for directors and employees:
Act with honesty, integrity and fairness,
and demonstrate respect for others
Adhere to all legal and compliance
obligations
Protect Stride’s assets and resources,
including its confidential or sensitive
information, and ensure this protection
extends to the Stride Products
Make every effort to protect the
reputation and brand of SPL and
SIML and avoid a conflict between an
individual’s private activities and the
business activities of Stride
The Code of Ethics is supported by other policies,
including the Stride Conflicts Policy, Protected
Disclosures Policy, Securities Trading Policy and Market
Disclosure Policy (which is described in the commentary
related to Principle 4).
Conflicts Policy
Stride is conscious of the potential for conflicts of interest
given its role as property investor and manager, and takes a
conservative approach to conflicts of interest. The principles
that govern the management of conflicts of interest are
addressed in a number of governance documents, including
the Constitution of each of SPL and SIML, the Stride Boards’
charter, the Code of Ethics, and other internal policies.
The Boards have adopted a Conflicts Policy which guides
Directors and SIML employees when a conflict of interest
may arise and sets out procedures for managing conflicts of
interest. The purpose of the Conflicts Policy is to protect the
integrity of decision-making within SPL and SIML, as well as
the Stride Products, the reputation of each of those entities,
those who work within them, and those who own them. As
part of the Conflicts Policy, SIML has adopted an Acquisition
and Leasing Protocol which assists SIML management and
employees in making decisions in the event of any conflict
between the interests of the portfolios managed by SIML,
being SPL, Investore, Diversified and Industre.
All transactions in which SIML has, or may be perceived to
have, a conflict of interest (which can include personal, related
party and fund conflicts) will be conducted in accordance
with the Conflicts Policy and established protocols. SIML’s
conflicts manager, who is the Company Secretary of SIML,
oversees the application of the Conflicts Policy and reports to
the SIML Board to ensure that all conflicts are managed in an
appropriate manner.
Protected Disclosures Policy
Stride has a Protected Disclosures Policy which provides a
safe process for employees to make an allegation of serious
wrongdoing within Stride. The following procedure is specified
in the policy for employees to report wrongdoing:
• The wrongdoing is reported to the Disclosure Officer
(the Company Secretary), or where the employee
believes the Disclosure Officer is or may be involved in
the wrongdoing or where it is inappropriate to make the
disclosure to the Disclosure Officer due to the nature of
the information, the information may be reported to the
Chief Executive Officer of SIML or a Director of SPL or
SIML, or to an appropriate authority such as the Police or
Serious Fraud Office.
NZX Principle 1:
Code of Ethical Behaviour
• The employee should specify that he or she believes
on reasonable grounds that the information is true, that
he or she wishes to disclose the information so that the
wrongdoing can be investigated, and that he or she
wishes the disclosure to be protected in terms of
the policy.
All reports of wrongdoing will be investigated within 20 working
days of the disclosure being made and the findings of the
report will be communicated to the disclosing employee. The
identity of the disclosing employee will be kept confidential,
except with the consent of the disclosing employee or where
required for the investigation.
Stride is in the process of reviewing its Protected Disclosures
Policy to ensure it remains current given the introduction of the
Protected Disclosures (Protection of Whistleblowers) Act 2022.
Securities Trading Policy
The Boards have adopted a Securities Trading Policy
which governs trading in SPL and SIML stapled securities by
Stride Directors and SIML employees. The Securities Trading
Policy raises awareness about the insider trading provisions
within the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMCA)
and reinforces those requirements with additional internal
compliance requirements.
Stride Directors and employees of SIML who wish to trade
in stapled securities of SPL and SIML must comply with the
Securities Trading Policy, which sets limited trading windows
and requires all persons to whom the policy applies to obtain
approval prior to trading.
Speculative trading is not permitted, and Directors and
employees are required to hold stapled securities for a
minimum of six months, except in exceptional circumstances
and with the prior approval of the Company Secretary.
People centred
The success of every place we are involved with ultimately
depends on satisfying the wants and needs of people.
At Stride we imagine ourselves in our tenants’ shoes
and create the environment they will enjoy and
prosper in.
Discipline driven
Stride people go to great lengths to do the basics of our
business incredibly well. That means getting all
the details right and having a rigorous process to
evaluate every opportunity. We astutely navigate
risk, managing downside and seizing opportunities.
Fresh thinkers
Stride people are at the forefront of new thinking on capturing
the optimum value for people from properties.
Our feet are firmly on the ground while our heads
continuously scan new horizons for better ways of
doing things.
Nimble performers
Our flat, tight structure and our size allow Stride
and our people to be highly responsive to changing
conditions and make fast decisions.

To ensure an effective board,
there should be a balance of
independence, skills, knowledge,
experience and perspectives.
The Role of the Stride Boards
The SPL Board and the SIML Board are each responsible
for overseeing the effective management and operation of
SPL and SIML respectively. The Boards’ role is to represent
the interests of Stride’s shareholders and ensure that the
operations of Stride are managed so as to achieve Stride’s
strategic and business objectives, within a framework of
regulatory and ethical compliance.
The Stride Boards have adopted a charter which sets out the
Boards’ roles and responsibilities. This charter is available on
Stride’s website. The Boards’ charter notes that the Board
of SPL has appointed SIML as its manager, and the Board of
SIML has delegated authority to the Chief Executive Officer
of SIML for the operations and administration of Stride, in
accordance with the Delegations of Authority. Directors review
the Boards’ charter annually, to ensure it remains consistent
with the Boards’ objectives and responsibilities.
A summary of the principal responsibilities of the Boards and
management and how they interact is set out in Diagram 2.
Composition of the Boards and
Director Appointment
The Constitution of each of SPL and SIML and the Boards’
charter set out the parameters for the composition of each
Board, which at all times will be identical due to the ‘Stapled
Entity’ structure. The Boards must comprise a minimum of
three Directors and a maximum of eight Directors, at least two
of whom must be Independent Directors (as defined in the
Listing Rules) and ordinarily resident in New Zealand.
The Boards’ charter also requires that the Boards
should comprise:
Directors with an appropriate range of skills
and experience
Directors who have a proper understanding
of, and skill set to deal with, current and
emerging issues of the business
Directors who can effectively review
and challenge the performance of
SIML management and exercise
independent judgement
All of the SPL and SIML Directors are considered to be
‘Independent Directors’ under the Listing Rules, which
in summary means that they are free of any business or
other relationship that could reasonably influence, or could
reasonably be perceived to influence, in a material way, the
Director’s capacity to bring an independent view to decisions
in relation to Stride, act in the best interests of Stride, and
represent the interests of Stride’s shareholders generally.
The Boards have reviewed the status of each of the Directors
and, taking into account the waiver granted by NZX Regulation
in relation to the independence of Directors that is summarised
on page 159, confirm that, as at the date of the release of this
Annual Report and after considering the relevant factors set
out in the NZX Code, all Directors are ‘Independent Directors’.

review Stride’s internal decision-making
processes and any strategic policies,
procedures and Board and committee
charters; ensure management has
appropriate resources to give effect to
strategic objectives; review and approve
budgets; set remuneration policy and
review and approve remuneration
arrangements for senior management.
An overview of each of the Directors of SPL and SIML, their
status and date of appointment is set out on pages 10 and
11, with their attendance at meetings set out on page 139. In
determining that all SPL and SIML Directors are ‘Independent
Directors’, careful consideration has been given to the factors
set out in the NZX Code:
• None of the Directors have been employed in an
executive role by Stride
• None of the Directors currently or within the last
12 months have held a senior role in a provider of material
professional services to Stride or any of its subsidiaries
• None of the Directors currently or within the last three
years have had a material business relationship or
material contractual relationship (other than as a director)
with Stride
• None of the Directors are substantial product holders of
Stride or have any association with a substantial product
holder of Stride
• None of the Directors have close family ties with any of the
persons listed above
• None of the Directors have been directors of Stride for a
length of time that may compromise independence
Director Tim Storey has been a director of SPL since 2009.
The Boards have considered this length of tenure and do
not consider that it prejudices the independence of Director
Tim Storey given his governance experience and approach
to Board duties. It is also noted that Tim Storey has indicated
that he is due for re-election at the 2022 Annual Meetings of
Shareholders and, if re-elected, he intends to retire during the
forthcoming term of appointment.
Director John Harvey has also been a director of SPL since
2009. Director John Harvey has retired from the Stride Board
with effect from 31 May 2022, as signalled at the time of his
re-election in 2021.
Director Ross Buckley was appointed by the SIML Board as
a Director on 9 August 2021, and stood for election at the
Annual Shareholder Meeting of SIML in September 2021.
Director Ross Buckley was a partner at KPMG for 26 years,
and was most recently Executive Chair of KPMG for nearly
10 years. Ross retired from the KPMG partnership in
October 2020 to pursue a governance career. KPMG
provides tax advice and other consultancy services to Stride
from time to time.

Independence of Boards’ Chair
The Chair of the Boards is Tim Storey, an independent Director.
The Chief Executive Officer of SIML is Philip Littlewood, and
accordingly there is separation between the Chair and the
Chief Executive Officer.
Company Secretary
The Stride Company Secretary, Louise Hill, is an employee of
SIML and a member of the Executive Team reporting directly
to the Chief Executive Officer. As a member of the Executive
Team, the Company Secretary participates in the SIML long
term incentive scheme for senior employees. The Company
Secretary has a legal background and understands the need
to apply impartiality in the role, including the need to ensure
appropriate Board oversight of the business of SPL and SIML.
The Company Secretary has direct access to the Boards’ Chair
and the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee where needed.
Appointment of Directors
Potential candidates for appointment as a Director are
nominated by the SIML Board or the Stride Remuneration and
Nomination Committee or a SIML shareholder, and are voted
on by the shareholders of SIML. Under SPL’s Constitution,
persons who are appointed as Directors of SIML are
automatically appointed as Directors of SPL.
The Boards may appoint Directors to fill a casual vacancy,
but where a Director is appointed to fill a casual vacancy, the
Director is required to retire and stand for election at the first
Annual Shareholder Meeting after his or her appointment.
Director Ross Buckley was appointed by the SIML Board as a
Director on 9 August 2021, and stood for election at the SIML
Annual Shareholder Meeting in September 2021.
To be eligible for selection, candidates must demonstrate the
appropriate qualities and experience for the role of Director
and will be selected on a range of factors, including property
industry knowledge, business acumen, financial markets, and
governance experience. Other factors include background,
professional expertise, and qualifications, measured against
the Boards’ assessment of its overall skills and needs at the
time and having regard to the strategy of Stride and Director
succession planning.
Before appointing a new director, the Boards undertake
appropriate pre-appointment checks, including background
checks on education, employment experience, criminal history,
and bankruptcy.
All new Directors are appointed by way of a formal letter of
appointment setting out the key terms and conditions of
their appointment, including expected time commitment,
remuneration entitlements, and indemnity and insurance
arrangements. New Directors are provided with an induction
pack containing key governance information, policies and
charters, and relevant information necessary to prepare new
Directors for their role. New Directors also meet each of the
key members of management of SIML as part of an induction
programme, designed to provide new Directors with an
overview of Stride, its strategy and operations, and the markets
in which it operates.
As noted above, Director Ross Buckley was appointed by the
SIML Board as a Director on 9 August 2021, and stood for
election at the SIML Annual Shareholder Meeting in September
2021. Director Ross Buckley was appointed in anticipation
of the retirement of Director John Harvey. Director John
Harvey has chaired the Stride Audit and Risk Committee for
many years, and the Boards assessed that Ross Buckley’s
experience in audit and management would make him a
suitable candidate to chair the Audit and Risk Committee
following Director John Harvey’s retirement. Director Ross
Buckley has been appointed Chair of the Audit and Risk
Committee following the announcement of Director John
Harvey’s retirement, effective 31 May 2022.
Directors’ Skills and Experience
The Boards include Directors who collectively have a mix of
skills, knowledge, experience, and diversity that enhance
the Boards’ operations and assist the Boards to meet their
responsibilities. A balance is maintained between long
serving Directors with experience and knowledge of the
property sector and Stride’s history, and new Directors who
bring fresh perspective and insight.
Set out in Diagram 3 is a summary of the skills and
experience among Directors of the Boards as at 1 May 2022,
and including Director John Harvey who has subsequently
retired from the Boards with effect from 31 May 2022.
Individual Director profiles are set out on the Stride website
and on pages 10 and 11 of this Annual Report.

Professional Development, Training and
Independent Advice
The Boards understand the importance of ensuring they
remain current in the knowledge and skills required to
be a Director of SPL and SIML, particularly focussed
on knowledge specific to the property industry, funds
management business, macroeconomic factors and
regulatory and governance practices, all of which may impact
Stride’s business and operations.
Director development and education is primarily focussed on
briefings from senior SIML managers and industry experts.
Directors also have access to external education and
professional development training at Stride’s expense.
Directors are entitled to access such information and to seek
such independent advice as they individually or collectively
consider necessary to fulfil their responsibilities and permit
independent judgement in decision-making.
Boards’ Review
The Boards undertake an annual evaluation of their
performance. In FY22 the Boards undertook a formal review
and evaluation process, facilitated by an external governance
expert. The review focussed on the effectiveness of the
entire Boards, including the leadership of the Chair and
the contribution of individual Directors, the role of senior
management, the dynamics among the Boards and executives,
and Director skills and succession planning. The review
also revisited the recommendations provided during the
FY21 Boards review to determine how well these have been
implemented and whether improvements are required.
The review comprised interviews and surveys, eliciting
the perspectives of Directors and senior executives. The
recommendations have been reviewed by the Boards as a
whole and are being implemented. The recommendations
will assist the Boards in their ongoing development and in the
effective functioning of the Boards.
Diversity
The Stride Boards recognise that different perspectives, which
often arise due to diverse experiences and backgrounds,
contribute to a more successful business. Stride is committed
to promoting diversity on the SPL and SIML Boards and
SIML, which is the employing entity of Stride, is committed
to promoting diversity within the workplace by attracting,
recruiting, developing, promoting and retaining the best
employees from a diverse pool of individuals.
Stride has adopted a Diversity Policy which sets out its
commitment to diversity within the organisation. Stride
considers that diversity and inclusion embodies a wide range
of individual attributes, including gender and ethnicity, age,
national origin, sexual orientation, disability and religious belief.
Stride’s Diversity Policy embraces four key principles:
Merit - Individuals are evaluated based
on their individual skills, performance and
capabilities
Fairness & Equality - Stride does not
tolerate any discrimination or harassment
in the workplace of any kind, including, but
not limited to, in recruitment, promotion and
remuneration
Promotion of Diverse Ideas - Stride values
diversity in skills, backgrounds, and ideas
which come from a diverse workforce
Culture - Stride believes that diversity is
a strong contributor to a rich workplace
culture, where individuals are free to be
themselves and thrive within Stride
Stride has conducted its annual assessment of its diversity
objectives for FY22 and its progress towards achieving
these objectives. Stride believes that a focus on diversity
and inclusion is an ongoing endeavour and will be a constant
consideration and focus for the Stride Boards.

During FY22 Director Ross Buckley was appointed to the Boards following
a thorough review of Board requirements and a comprehensive search. This
appointment was made in anticipation of Director John Harvey’s retirement
in 2022. In conducting a search for a new Director, Stride considers diversity
as one of the key factors for consideration. Stride utilises a variety of channels
to identify appropriate candidates, including external recruiting agencies
and referrals. Although there was one female in the shortlist, the Directors
of Stride considered that Ross Buckley was the best candidate to fulfil its
requirements, including appropriate skills and experience, and accordingly
he was appointed on 9 August 2021.

During FY22 Stride received a report from Diversity Works following
completion of the diversity and inclusion assessment. Following this report,
SIML has undertaken Unconscious Bias training for all employees and is in
the process of establishing an Employee Diversity and Inclusion Committee
to provide input into initiatives that the business will implement in order to
foster and encourage diversity and inclusion.

Gender Composition of the Boards and Officers of SPL and SIML
• External benchmarking of salaries
• Completion of an equal pay assessment of selected
comparative roles and levels
• SIML’s performance management framework includes an
objective review of KPIs and performance measures for
individuals and teams, resulting in an overall performance
rating for each employee
The board should use committees
where this will enhance its
effectiveness in key areas, while
still retaining board responsibility.
Committees play an important role in Stride’s governance
framework, allowing a subset of the Boards to focus on a
particular area of importance for the Stride Boards, while
still ensuring the Boards as a whole remain responsible for
decision-making.
The Stride Boards have established three permanent Committees:
NZX Principle 3:
Board Committees
1. Note that subsequent to 31 March 2022, Director John Harvey has retired from the Board, effective 31 May 2022. As a result of this, the gender composition of the Boards will
be four male (67%) and two female (33%).
2. Officer is defined in Listing Rule 3.8.1(c) to mean a person, however designated, who is concerned or takes part in the management of the issuer’s business and reports directly
to the Boards or a person who reports to the Boards. Stride considers the Executive Team of SIML, which consists of the Chief Executive Officer (who reports directly to the SIML
Board) plus his direct reports, to comprise the Officers of SIML.

The role of the Audit and Risk Committee
is to assist in the exercise of the Boards’
financial oversight and risk functions.
This Committee assists with progressing
the sustainability objectives of the Boards
across SPL and SIML, including climate
risk reporting.
The Committee assists with overseeing
Executive and Board remuneration, as well
as Board composition and succession.
In addition, the Boards will form temporary committees as appropriate and required for the work of the Boards at the time. During FY22 a
Due Diligence Committee was established to oversee planning and preparation for the equity capital raise undertaken during November
and December 2021.
Audit and Risk Committee
Stride’s Audit and Risk Committee operates under a written
charter, which is reviewed regularly to ensure that it remains
appropriate and current.
The charter requires that the Audit and Risk Committee is
comprised solely of non-executive Directors, and has at
least three members, with the majority of members being
Independent Directors. The Chair of the Audit and Risk
Committee is to be an Independent Director and may not
be the Chair of the Boards. All Committee members must
be financially literate and at least one member must have
accounting or related financial management expertise. All
Directors are members of the Audit and Risk Committee, with
Director John Harvey the Chair of the Committee. Director
Ross Buckley will become the Chair of the Committee following
Director John Harvey’s retirement, effective 31 May 2022.
The Boards consider that the Audit and Risk Committee
has the appropriate level of financial acumen and risk
management experience necessary for the Committee to
fulfil its responsibilities. Director John Harvey was formerly
a partner at PwC, the audit firm for Stride. However, as John
Harvey retired from the PwC partnership in 2009, the Boards
have determined that his prior relationship with PwC does
not prejudice the independence of the auditor. Director John
Harvey has retired from the Boards with effect from 31 May
2022, and Director Ross Buckley will become the new Chair
of the Audit and Risk Committee following John’s retirement.
Director Ross Buckley has considerable audit experience
and financial acumen suitable for this role, and has no prior
relationship with the Stride audit firm, PwC.

Meetings of the Audit and Risk Committee are held at least
twice a year, and are generally held four times per year,
having regard to Stride’s reporting and audit cycle. Additional
meetings are held at the discretion of the Chair, or if requested
by any Audit and Risk Committee member, the Chief Executive
Officer of SIML or the external auditor.
The NZX Code recommends that employees should only

Remuneration and Nomination Committee
During FY21 Stride adopted a Remuneration and Nomination
Committee Charter, which establishes a Remuneration
and Nomination Committee. During FY22, all Directors
were members of the Committee which undertook certain
remuneration and nomination responsibilities across the Stride
Boards and the SIML business. The Committee operated on
an informal basis, and accordingly formal meetings were not
constituted during FY22. The Committee was responsible,
during FY22, for the appointment of Ross Buckley as a
non-executive director, and for reviewing and approving the
remuneration of the CEO and the Executive Team.
Temporary Due Diligence Committee
During FY22, a Due Diligence Committee was established to
oversee planning and preparation for the equity capital raising
undertaken during November and December 2021. The
purpose of the Due Diligence Committee was to oversee and
coordinate the due diligence process and ensure that Stride
met its legal obligations in relation to the equity capital raise.
The members of the Due Diligence Committee comprised
Directors Tim Storey, John Harvey and Ross Buckley, together
with representatives of SIML management and advisers.
The Due Diligence Committee was responsible for ensuring
that all material information known to Stride was disclosed
to the market and that the offer materials did not contain any
statement that was false, misleading, or deceptive or which was
unsubstantiated, and contained all of the information required
by statute and the Listing Rules. The Due Diligence Committee
also established a system of continuing enquiry, review, and
monitoring of developments between the date of the offer
materials and the allotment of shares, to ensure no material
information arose which should be disclosed to the market
during this period.
During FY22, Fabric, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SPL,
also established a Due Diligence Committee to oversee
the planning and preparation for the potential initial public
offering of shares in Fabric in FY22. Directors Tim Storey
and Jacqueline Cheyne were members of the Due Diligence
Committee, in their capacity as directors of Fabric, together
with representatives of SIML Management and advisers.
Boards and Committee Meetings
and Attendance
The Boards’ charter sets out the meeting requirements and
process for each of SPL and SIML. Due to the nature of the
business of each Board, different meeting frequencies are
scheduled. The Board of SIML meets a minimum of 8 times
per year and the Board of SPL a minimum of 5 times per year,
with additional meetings and conference calls scheduled
as deemed necessary throughout the year for Directors to
undertake their duties.
Directors attend briefings with senior managers of SIML on an
ad-hoc basis and attend investor briefings in connection with
their role as a Director of SPL and SIML. These attendances
are not included in the disclosure in Table 2, but comprise an
important element of Stride Director responsibilities.
At each Board meeting, the Boards receive written reports
and presentations from SIML’s Chief Executive Officer and
senior management covering a review of operations and
financial results for the period in review, an overview of

The number of Board and Committee meetings held during the
year and details of Directors’ attendance at those meetings are
disclosed in Table 2.
Takeover Protocols
The Boards have adopted takeover protocols, available
on Stride’s website, which set out the procedure to be
followed in the event a takeover offer for Stride is made or it
is foreseeable that an offer may be imminent. The protocols
provide for an independent takeover committee to be formed,
comprising Independent Directors of Stride, to oversee
the takeover process and ensure compliance with Stride’s
obligations under the Takeovers Code. The protocols also
govern the procedure for communications with the bidder, with
the market, and with investors.
* Director Ross Buckley was appointed on 9 August 2021.
† Director Nick Jacobson was not a member of the Due Diligence Committee and attended these meetings under an invitation to all Directors to attend if desired.
In addition to the above meetings, SPL’s subsidiary, Fabric Property Limited, convened a Due Diligence Committee which held a
number of meetings in relation to the offer of securities in Fabric. Tim Storey and Jacqueline Cheyne, directors of Fabric, participated in
the Fabric Due Diligence Committee.

The board should demand
integrity in financial and non-
financial reporting, and in the
timeliness and balance of

Market Disclosure Policy
Stride’s Market Disclosure Policy ensures Stride meets
its obligations to keep the market informed of all material
information. Both SPL and SIML are committed to:
Ensuring that shareholders and the market
are provided with full and timely information
about their activities
Complying with the general and continuous
disclosure principles contained in statute
and in the Listing Rules
Ensuring that all market participants have
equal opportunities to receive externally
available information issued by Stride
The Market Disclosure Policy obliges all Directors of SPL
and SIML and executive officers of SIML to inform the Chief
Executive Officer of SIML or the SIML General Manager
Corporate Services (who is also the Disclosure Officer under
the Policy) of any potentially material information or proposal
immediately after the relevant person becomes aware of that
information or proposal.
A Disclosure Committee, comprising the Stride Chair and
SIML’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer
and General Manager Corporate Services, is responsible
for making decisions about what information is material
information and ensuring that appropriate disclosures are
made in a timely manner to the market.
Availability of Key Governance Documents
The Boards’ charter and the charters of the standing
Board Committees, as well as annual and interim reports,
announcements, key corporate governance policies and other
investor-related material are available on the Stride website at

its remuneration policy on the Stride website, as its policy

employees are remunerated.

Stride’s Audit and Risk Committee is
responsible for overseeing Stride’s
financial reporting, including ensuring
that such reporting is balanced, clear
and objective. Further information on
the Audit and Risk Committee and
its responsibilities is contained in the
commentary on Principle 3.
The Audit and Risk Committee has
established processes to identify and
consider the material business risks faced
by Stride.
During FY22 the Committee conducted
a review of its risk appetite against key
risks identified by management and
the Committee. Risk reporting was also
refreshed, with risk trends being reported
against these key risks, to identify where
the risk level may be diverging from the
Committee’s specified risk appetite.
The Board also regularly receives risk
management reports and reviews key risks
to the business of Stride and the controls
implemented to manage exposure to those
risks. All identified risks have specific
mitigation strategies where appropriate,
and the effectiveness of these strategies
are regularly reviewed.
A high level summary of key risks to Stride’s
business as monitored by the Board is set
out in the commentary on Principle 6.
Stride is committed to ensuring that
Environmental Sustainability, Social
Responsibility and Corporate Governance (ESG)
are key considerations in the operation and
governance of its business.
The Sustainability Committee is responsible
for overseeing Stride’s sustainability strategic
plan and implementation of its sustainability
objectives, including the completion of a climate
risk assessment, the outcome of which has been
reported as part of this Annual Report.
More information on the role and responsibilities
of the Sustainability Committee is set out in the

approved by shareholders, including a higher level of fees for
the Chair of the Boards, Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee
and Chair of the Sustainability Committee, to reflect the
additional time and responsibilities that these positions involve.
Directors are paid through a contribution from both SIML and
SPL. However, under waivers granted by NZX, there is no
requirement that Directors’ remuneration be authorised by
separate resolutions of SPL and SIML.
Directors’ remuneration was reviewed in 2021, in accordance
with the two yearly review cycle that Stride previously signalled
to the market. The Boards engaged Ernst & Young to provide
an independent report on Directors’ remuneration for Stride,
utilising Ernst & Young’s database of directors’ remuneration in
New Zealand.
Ernst & Young provided independent advice on current
Directors’ remuneration, comparing Stride to companies
which have a similar scale of operations and level of
complexity to Stride. A summary of the Ernst & Young advice
was made available for shareholders on the Stride website. In
proposing an increase in remuneration, the Boards took into
account the Ernst & Young independent benchmark report, as
well as Director workloads and responsibilities, and Stride’s
performance.
The Boards are conscious of their obligation to ensure
Directors’ fees are set and managed in a manner which is fair,
flexible and transparent. At the same time, the Boards seek to
ensure that Directors’ fees are set at an appropriate level to
assist Stride to secure and maintain the skills and experience
at Board level necessary to govern the business and enhance
the long term value of Stride for shareholders.
Shareholders approved an increase in Directors’ remuneration
at the 2021 SIML Annual Shareholder Meeting as follows:

Table 3 – Director Remuneration FY22
* Total Directors’ fees exclude GST and reimbursed costs directly associated
with carrying out Director duties. Total Directors’ fees include fees paid by SPL and
SIML.
The Boards have an allowance for additional work and
attendance, which remains at the level that applied in 2019
and 2020 of $144,500. The Boards may determine the
allocation of all or part of this allowance for additional work
and attendances to remunerate Directors for significant extra
attendances and work. For the year in review this allowance
was not utilised.
Directors contributed additional time and attendance during
FY22 in attending meetings of the Due Diligence Committee
and the Boards related to the equity capital raising conducted
in November and December 2021. However, Directors did not
receive additional remuneration for these attendances.
No Director of SPL or SIML is entitled to any remuneration
from Stride other than by way of Directors’ fees and the
reasonable reimbursement of travelling, accommodation and
other expenses incurred in the course of performing duties or
exercising their role as a Director.
Directors do not participate in any Stride share or option plan.
Directors have no retirement benefit and do not receive any
share options or rights or other form of remuneration, except as
set out in Table 3 and below.
During FY22 Blair O’Keeffe, Deborah Marris and Kathryn
Hughes, who were appointed as directors of Fabric Property
Limited on 8 September 2021 and resigned following the
decision to withdraw the demerger and initial public offering of
Fabric on 21 September 2021, provided advisory services to
Fabric and received payments for these services as follows:
• Blair O’Keeffe received $35,500
• Deborah Marris and Kathryn Hughes each received
$20,400
No other director of a subsidiary company of Stride (a list of
subsidiary companies and directors is set out in the Statutory
Disclosures on page 155) received any remuneration or
other benefits during the period in relation to their duties as
directors of a subsidiary company.
All Directors of SPL and SIML and their subsidiary companies
are entitled to the benefit of an indemnity from each of SPL
and SIML and the benefit of insurance cover in respect of all
liabilities (to the extent permitted by law) which arise out of
the performance of their normal duties as Directors, subject
to certain exceptions such as deliberate breach of duty.
Senior Management Remuneration
SIML is committed to a fair and reasonable remuneration
framework for its Executive Team. In determining an executive’s
total remuneration, external benchmarking is undertaken by
independent remuneration advisors every two years to ensure
comparability and competitiveness, along with consideration of
the individual’s performance, skills, expertise and experience.
Total executive remuneration can be made up of three
components: fixed remuneration, a short term incentive scheme
and an executive long term share incentive scheme.
It is SIML’s policy to pay fixed remuneration at the market
median, and for short and long term incentives to be set at or
above the upper quartile, such that total potential remuneration
is at the upper quartile. This enables SIML to attract and retain
talented people, while also rewarding high performance when
appropriate.
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2022Annual Report 2022142143
Fixed remuneration
Fixed remuneration consists of base salary, KiwiSaver and other benefits
Short term incentive
scheme
SIML operates a short term incentive scheme under which selected permanent, full time employees may be eligible
to receive an incentive on an annual basis in addition to their base salary. Entitlement to the incentive is subject to
pre-agreed hurdles being met, which are aligned to Stride’s performance targets for the year.
Executive long term
share incentive
scheme
SIML operates a long term share incentive scheme for the Executive Team, intended to align the interests of key
employees with the interests of shareholders and provide a continuing incentive to key employees over the long term.
Share performance rights under the SIML long term share incentive scheme may be issued on an annual basis at the
discretion of the Board.
The scheme provides for selected employees to be granted rights to be issued shares for nil consideration if certain
performance hurdles are met. The key features of the plan for rights awarded in FY22 are as follows:
• The rights are granted for nil consideration and have a nil exercise price
• Rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights prior to vesting
• Each right that vests entitles the employee to receive one fully paid ordinary share in each of SPL and SIML. The
shares issued on vesting carry full voting and dividend rights
• The individual must remain an employee of SIML at the relevant vesting date for any rights to vest
Further details of the SIML long term share incentive scheme can be found in note 8.3 to the consolidated financial
statements. Performance is determined over a three year vesting period, and the vesting of rights depends on certain
hurdles being met. For the rights granted during FY22, those hurdles comprised:
• Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) – 50% of rights are subject to Stride’s TSR growth performance, relative
to constituents of the NZX Property Index. No rights for this component vest if Stride’s TSR is negative at the end
of the performance period. For vesting of rights to occur, Stride’s TSR over the three year performance period
would need to outperform the TSR of the bottom two constituents of the comparator group, at which point 20%
of the rights to which the condition relates (i.e. 20% of 50% of the total rights) would vest. For 100% of the rights
to which this condition relates to vest, Stride would need to have a TSR over the three year performance period
equal to or greater than the TSR of the second best performer in the comparator group over the period.
• Achievement of Strategic Initiatives Condition – 50% of rights are subject to Stride achieving certain strategic
initiatives during FY22. 50% of the rights to which this condition relates will vest if Stride achieves certain
specified performance targets as set by the Board, with 100% vesting for outperformance. The strategic
initiatives include growth targets (acquisitions and developments), strategically identified disposals, and capital
management initiatives.
If an employee is made redundant due to a change of control event occurring in relation to SIML or the employee’s role
is restructured following such an event, all unvested rights at the relevant date will vest.

KiwiSaver
All employees are eligible to contribute to KiwiSaver and
receive SIML contributions. The SIML Board reviewed
employee benefits during FY21 and from 1 April 2021
increased the employer KiwiSaver contributions, so that
SIML will contribute 5% of gross taxable earnings (including
short term incentives) providing employees are contributing
to KiwiSaver at a rate of 4% or higher (which will increase to
5% should this be an option for employee contributions in the
future). This increased benefit was implemented in order to
attract and retain the highest calibre of employees. 84% of
eligible employees have taken up this benefit since it has
been introduced.

*
Executive Long Term Incentive relates to the value of rights granted to the Chief Executive Officer during the relevant year, and under
the FY22 Share Scheme (3 year) the rights have a vesting period up to 31 March 2024. No rights vested during FY22 under the
FY20 Share Scheme, with all rights having lapsed when the conditions to vesting were not met.
In the prior year, the value that was attributed to the Executive Long Term Incentive – share performance rights was based on the
value reflected in the Financial Statements whereby the share performance rights are measured at fair value at grant date, which is
in reference to the fair value of the instruments granted rather than the fair value of the services from the employee. The fair value
as disclosed in the Financial Statements is determined using the share price at grant date adjusted for expected dividends and
probability of meeting the performance hurdles. The fair value of rights granted is independently determined using the Monte Carlo
simulation model. If the value had been based on the same basis of disclosure used in the current year, the value of rights granted to
the Chief Executive Officer would have been $307,500, the total pay for performance for FY21 would have been $925,230, and total
remuneration would have been $1,574,075.

The Chief Executive Officer is not entitled to any redundancy, retirement or termination payments, except as may be provided to
other staff. As noted in relation to the terms of the executive long term share incentive scheme, if the Chief Executive Officer is made
redundant or his role restructured as a result of a change of control event of SIML, all unvested rights will vest. This term applies to all
rights issued in accordance with the long term share incentive scheme and accordingly is not specific to the Chief Executive Officer.
Remuneration of employees
There were 51 SIML employees who received remuneration and benefits in excess of $100,000 (not including Directors) in their
capacity as employees during the year ended 31 March 2022, as set out in Table 7.
Table 7 – Remuneration Range
*
Directors should have a sound
understanding of the material
risks faced by the issuer and
how to manage them. The board
should regularly verify that the
issuer has appropriate processes
that identify and manage potential
and material risks.
Risk Management Framework
The Stride Boards consider effective management of risks
to the operations and business of Stride to be an essential
part of their responsibilities. The Boards are responsible
for overseeing and approving the Stride risk management
strategy and policies, as well as ensuring effective audit, risk
management and compliance systems are in place. The Audit
and Risk Committee assists the Boards in fulfilling their risk
assurance and audit responsibilities.
Stride has a risk management framework in place, supported
by a set of risk-based policies appropriate for the business,
including a Treasury Policy, Conflicts Policy, Investment
Mandates across each Stride Product where relevant,
and Delegations of Authority. The principal purpose of this
framework is to integrate risk management into Stride’s
operations, and to formalise risk management as part of Stride’s
internal control and corporate governance arrangements.
As part of the risk management framework, SIML management
maintains a comprehensive risk register for the Stride business
and for each of the Stride Products, recording the key risks
to the relevant business and operations, and assigning each
risk a risk rating based on the likelihood and impact of the
risk, as well as mitigation strategies and the risk rating after
implementation of the mitigation strategies. The Stride Boards
receive a report on the material risks facing the business every
six months, as well as mitigation strategies that are in place to
manage those risks. This report also includes notification of
any changes to the risk level or any new material risks that the
business is facing.
As noted in relation to the commentary on Principle 3, during
FY22 the Audit and Risk Committee conducted a review of its
risk appetite against key risks identified by management and
the Committee. Risk reporting was also refreshed, with risk
trends being reported against these key risks, to identify where
the risk level may be diverging from the Committee’s specified
risk appetite. Key risks to Stride’s business and how the
business responds to those risks are set out in Table 8.
The Boards are conscious of the risks posed by climate
change, and during FY22 Stride has completed a preliminary
climate risk assessment for Stride and the Stride Products
to develop an understanding of the risks posed to Stride’s
business through climate change and the response to climate
change. The key climate risks and opportunities faced by
Stride are set out in the Climate-Related Disclosures section of
this report, commencing on page 42.

Management of Health and Safety Risks
The Stride Boards acknowledge that effective governance
of health and safety is essential for the continued success
of Stride and its operations, the wellbeing of our people
and others who occupy or visit properties that are owned or
managed by Stride.
The Stride health and safety charter is available on the Stride
website at www.strideproperty.co.nz. This charter reflects
that the Boards as a whole are responsible for the governance
of health and safety and have responsibility for leading the
health and safety culture and vision at Stride. The Board of
SIML also recognises that, as manager, it plays a key role in
managing health and safety risks at properties owned by SPL
and the Stride Products.
Health and safety risks at all sites, whether owned or managed,
are assessed and reported to the Boards, using the same risk
assessment methodology used to assess and report on other
risks. Health and safety risks are identified and considered in
terms of their impact, likelihood and overall risk rating, with
specific mitigating plans in place for each risk. SIML works
closely with tenants and contractors to minimise and, where
practicable, eliminate all property related risks.
Contractor management remains a key health and safety risk
faced by Stride. Stride has implemented a comprehensive
contractor management framework that seeks to embed the
principles of consultation, cooperation and coordination in
the management of risks related to works on SIML-managed
sites. SIML continues to work with contractors to ensure that
appropriate health and safety practices are employed, and that
contractors are minimising risks to staff, public and tenants in
undertaking their activities. For major developments SIML will
engage an external firm to audit health and safety practices on
site on a monthly basis, with the results of that review reported
to the Board.
This report contains a report on key health and safety metrics,
on page 14.
Key RiskControl
Risks caused by the impact of
COVID-19 on Stride’s business, including
Government mandated rent abatement
for commercial tenants
Stride continues to monitor and manage the impacts of COVID-19, including on its tenants,
and proactively negotiates abatement arrangements with tenants, seeking to reduce the
overall costs to Stride and the Stride Products.
Online shopping impacts retailers,
reducing demand for space and
impacting ability of retailers to pay rent
Stride proactively monitors market and competitor activity and implements long term plans for
shopping centres to maximise retail performance opportunities of existing sites. Stride also
takes a prudent approach to investments, investing in town centres that are located in areas
of high population or strong population growth, thus ensuring ongoing demand. Stride also
proactively monitors debtors and actively takes appropriate steps to recover arrears.
Financing availability
Stride has a policy of renewing its financing facilities at least 12 months before they are due
to mature. The financing facilities were recently renewed in December 2021, as reported on
page 38 of this report.
Interest rate risk
Stride is conscious of the impact of rising interest rates in the current environment and, as
reported on pages 38 and 39 of this report, has taken a proactive approach to interest rate
hedging, to manage the impact of this risk.
Inability to execute transactions, impacting
growth aspirations, SIML reputation and
transaction fees
SIML has executive roles focussed on strategic transactions, and maintains contact with
real estate agents and property industry experts in order to maintain market knowledge.
At the same time, SIML takes a measured approach to acquisitions, and will only complete
transactions that it considers are accretive.
Demand for office space reduces due to
more people working from home
Stride has focussed on improving the quality of its office portfolio to meet what it considers
are key demands from tenants for office space, in order to position its portfolio to attract the
greatest demand.
Seismic resilience of the portfolio may
require additional capital expenditure to
meet tenant expectations and regulatory
requirements
Stride monitors regulation and engineering practice in relation to seismic assessments and
obtains updated seismic assessments where required. The Stride Boards have adopted a
policy regarding minimum seismic ratings for buildings and this is part of the due diligence
investigations for all acquisitions.
Climate change risk
As reported on pages 42 and following of this report, Stride is taking steps to understand the
risk of climate change on its portfolio and that of the Stride Products, and this will continue to
be a focus over the coming years.
Health and safety risk
Stride is conscious of the impact of adverse health and safety outcomes and takes a
conservative approach to this risk. SIML has a Safety and Sustainability Manager who
implements processes to manage health and safety risk, and SIML has recently increased
resource in this area with the appointment of a Health & Safety Advisor. Further detail is
reported on page 14 of this report.
Table 8 – Key Risks to Stride’s Business
Set out in Table 8 is a high level summary of key risks to Stride’s business that are reported to, and monitored by, the Audit and Risk
Committee and the Stride Boards as part of Stride’s risk management framework. This table does not set out all of the risks related to
Stride. Some risks may be unknown and other risks, currently believed to be immaterial, could turn out to be material.

The board should ensure the quality
and independence of the external
audit process.
External Audit Function and Audit
Independence
PwC is the auditor of Stride. The key framework for the
relationship between the issuer and its external auditor is
comprised in the Audit and Risk Committee charter, which
includes the audit independence guidelines. These guidelines
require compliance with the Listing Rules, which require
rotation of the lead audit partner at least every five years.
A new lead audit partner was appointed for the audit of the
Stride financial statements for FY22, as the prior audit partner
had been the audit partner for the previous five years, up to
and including the completion of the audit of the FY21 financial
statements, and accordingly was due for rotation.
Stride does not have a policy of rotating its audit firm, on
the basis that there is a limited pool of external audit firms
within New Zealand and Stride engages the other major firms
for non-audit services, meaning they would be conflicted if
approached to act as auditor. The Audit and Risk Committee
will continue to consider rotating Stride’s audit firm on an
ongoing basis as appropriate.
The audit independence guidelines contain a description
for determining the non-audit services that may be provided
by the external auditor without compromising the external
auditor’s independence. The Audit and Risk Committee
regularly monitor non-audit services provided by the external
NZX Principle 7:
Auditors
auditor and confirm whether these services prejudice the
maintenance of independence of the auditor. The purpose
of the audit independence framework is to ensure that audit
independence is maintained, both in fact and appearance,
so that Stride’s external financial reporting is reliable and
credible. For FY22, PwC, as auditor, did not provide any
services other than audit and review of financial statements
and other assurance services (including as investigating
accountant in connection with the proposed offer of shares
made by Fabric Property Limited).
The Audit and Risk Committee meet at least twice a year with
the external auditor. The external auditor is invited to attend
meetings of the Audit and Risk Committee as required, with
Directors free to make direct contact with the external auditor
as necessary to obtain independent advice and information.
In the interests of encouraging active participation by
shareholders at the Annual Shareholder Meetings, Stride’s
external auditor is in attendance to answer any questions
shareholders may have in relation to the audit of the annual
financial statements.
Internal Audit Function
Stride does not employ internal auditors. Instead, Stride adopts
a process of project-specific internal audits, through engaging
consultants to undertake internal reviews or assessments on a
project-by-project basis. Selected consultants are engaged to
assess, amongst other things, Stride’s internal control systems,
financial reporting system, risk management and the integrity
of the financial information reported to the Boards. Project
based reviews or assessments can operate both with and
independently from management, with all findings reported to
the relevant Board or Committee.
The board should respect the
rights of shareholders and foster
constructive relationships with
shareholders that encourage them
to engage with the issuer.
Investor Communications
The Boards believe transparent and open communication with
shareholders is important to ensure effective participation
by shareholders in the business of Stride. Shareholders
deserve to be provided with all relevant information about the
performance of their investment and to be informed on any
significant matters relating to their investment in Stride.
Stride is committed to notifying the market of any material
information related to its operations as required by the Listing
Rules. All announcements are posted on Stride’s page on the
NZX website, www.nzx.com. Following release on the NZX,
copies of the announcements and information released to NZX
are posted on Stride’s website, www.strideproperty.co.nz.
Significant market announcements, including the announcement
of the half year and full year results, the accounts for those
periods and any advice of a change in earnings forecast, require
prior review and approval of each Board.
In addition to these general disclosure obligations, Stride’s
Market Disclosure Policy (as addressed under Principle 4)
requires Directors and management to regularly consider
whether there is any information that may require disclosure
in accordance with the Market Disclosure Policy, the Listing
Rules, the FMCA and best practice in this area. Board agendas
include a consideration of any matters for disclosure as the
last item on the agenda, and the Boards turn their mind to
whether anything that has arisen or been discussed during
the meeting requires disclosure. Management and the Boards
are also in contact between meetings as matters arise, and
consideration is given to whether any matters are material and
require disclosure.
The Stride website has copies of all presentations and reports
released by Stride, and shareholders are encouraged to refer
to the website www.strideproperty.co.nz for information on
SPL and SIML. Stride’s annual reports and interim reports are
available electronically on Stride’s website and investors can
request hard copies (where available) by contacting Stride’s
Share Registrar (whose contact details can be found in the
Corporate Directory at the back of this Annual Report). Stride
encourages investors to receive investor communications by
electronic means where possible.
NZX Principle 8:
Shareholder Rights
and Relations
Annual Shareholder Meetings
SPL and SIML hold their Annual Shareholder Meetings at the
same time, with separate votes held in relation to shareholder
resolutions of SIML and shareholder resolutions of SPL. SIML
and SPL shareholders have one vote per share they hold in
SIML and SPL respectively, and have the right to vote on major
decisions in accordance with the Listing Rules.
To enable shareholders to fully participate in shareholder
meetings, the Boards will endeavour where possible to
distribute the Notice of Meetings at least 20 working days
prior to any shareholder meetings. Each notice of meeting for
shareholder meetings and transcripts of those meetings are
made available on Stride’s website and on the NZX.
During FY22 shareholders were given at least 20 working
days’ notice of the Annual Shareholder Meetings of SPL and
SIML held on 23 September 2021.
Shareholders are encouraged to attend the SIML and SPL
Annual Shareholder Meetings and take the opportunity
to meet the Stride Boards and SIML senior managers. All
Directors and SIML senior managers attend the shareholder
meetings and are available for questions. The Chair provides
time for questions from the floor and these are answered by
the appropriate member of the Boards or SIML management.
Stride’s external auditor attends the meetings and is available
to take questions on the preparation of the financial statements
and the auditor’s report.
Equity Capital Raise
Stride undertook an equity capital raise during November and
December 2021 (the Capital Raise), comprising:
• A $100 million underwritten share placement
(Placement); and
• A retail offer to eligible shareholders of up to $20 million,
with Stride having a discretion as to whether to accept
additional applications (Retail Offer).
The underwritten issue price for the Placement was set at
$2.00 per stapled security, representing a discount of 8.5%
to the closing price on 24 November 2021 of $2.185 (ex-
dividend) and 7.6% discount to the five day volume weighted
average price (VWAP) up to and including 24 November 2021
of $2.164 (ex-dividend). The Placement was successfully
completed on 26 November 2021, and received strong
demand at the fixed price of $2.00 per stapled security,
resulting in Stride increasing the size of the Placement from
$100 million to $110 million, being 55,000,000 stapled
securities. As a result of the Placement, Stride introduced new
institutional shareholders to its share register.
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2022Annual Report 2022150151
Under the Retail Offer, eligible shareholders were invited
to subscribe for up to $50,000 of stapled securities per
shareholder. The Retail Offer closed on 10 December 2021,
and was oversubscribed. Stride elected to accept all additional
applications to increase the total amount accepted under
the Retail Offer to $23.9 million. This brought the total gross
proceeds of the Capital Raise to $133.9 million.
The proceeds of the Capital Raise were used to repay bank
debt, reducing SPL’s loan to value ratio to 28.4% on a pro forma
30 September 2021 basis. The Capital Raise also provided
Stride with greater flexibility and options for the establishment
of its office fund, Fabric Property Limited, as well as progressing
other strategic initiatives as part of Stride’s broader investment
management strategy. The Capital Raise has also subsequently
enabled SPL to confirm the acquisition of the office property at
110 Carlton Gore Road, Auckland.
The Stride Boards determined, having received advice on options
for the structure of the Capital Raise, to undertake the Capital
Raise by way of the Placement and Retail Offer (rather than under
a pro rata structure such as a rights or entitlement offer) for a
number of reasons:
• Due to the timing of release of Stride’s interim results on
25 November 2021, the Placement and Retail Offer were
able to be completed before the Christmas holiday period,
while other forms of capital raising may not have been able
to be completed in this time period;
• The Placement and Retail Offer could be, and were,
sized and structured in such a way as to enable almost all
shareholders to apply for at least their pro rata shareholding
in Stride;
• By increasing the value of stapled securities that eligible
shareholders were able to subscribe for under the Retail
Offer to $50,000 (from the limit of $15,000 applying to
Share Purchase Plans under the Listing Rules), Stride
considered that almost all shareholders would be able to
receive their pro rata allocation through the Retail Offer,
and those that could not receive their pro rata allocation
through the Retail Offer would be able to participate through
the Placement;
• The Retail Offer enabled smaller shareholders to participate
in the equity raising at the same price as institutions in the
Placement but with the benefit of having a longer offer
period to consider participation.
In preparing for and undertaking the Capital Raise, Stride sought,
and was granted, waivers from certain Listing Rules:
• Listing Rule 3.14.1: This allowed Stride to provide less than
the required five business days’ notice of the record date for
its interim dividend for the six months ended 30 September
2021. This enabled Stride to declare the interim dividend,
release its interim results and announce the Placement and
the Retail Offer on 25 November 2021, with the record date
for that interim dividend being 30 November 2021.
This meant that holders of new stapled securities issued
under the Placement and Retail Offer were not eligible for
the interim dividend. Stride considered this to be the most
equitable outcome for all shareholders, as it would not have
had sufficient time to declare and pay the dividend before
Christmas if it waited until after completion of the Capital
Raise on 16 December 2021. Stride also considered that
investors were not prejudiced by the shorter notice period of
the record date because investors still had one full trading
day (being 26 November 2021) to trade Stride stapled
securities in order to be on or off Stride’s share register
before the record date for the interim dividend.
• Listing Rule 4.5.1: This enabled Stride, to the extent
required, to undertake a placement of up to 15% of Stride’s
ordinary shares without requiring approval by ordinary
resolution in accordance with Listing Rule 4.1.1 and Listing
Rule 4.2.1. Stride required this waiver because its previous
equity capital raise (completed in November and December
2020) was within the relevant 12 month period under NZX
Listing Rule 4.5.1 by a few days. The waiver allowed Stride
to undertake the Placement and invite eligible shareholders
to subscribe for up to $50,000 of shares under the Retail
Offer, which Stride considered to be the optimal capital
raising structure for Stride and its shareholders.

Indemnity and Insurance
In accordance with section 162 of the Companies Act and the Constitutions of each of SIML and SPL, each of SIML and SPL has
entered into a deed of access, indemnity and insurance to indemnify its Directors and the Directors of its subsidiaries for liabilities
or costs they may incur for acts or omissions in their capacity as a Director to the extent permitted under the Companies Act. The
indemnity does not cover wilful default or fraud, criminal liability, liability for failure to act in good faith and in the best interests of the
relevant company, or liabilities that cannot be legally indemnified.
SIML and SPL also have a Directors’ and Officers’ Liability Insurance Policy in place. Among other things, the Directors’ and Officers’
Liability Insurance Policy excludes cover for deliberate dishonesty, insider trading, fines and penalties (except for legally indemnifiable
civil fines or civil penalties), liability arising out of a breach of professional duty other than as a professional director, and liability for
which the insured is legally indemnified.
In authorising any insurance to be effected, each Director signs a certificate stating that, in their opinion, the cost of the insurance is
fair to SIML and SPL.

No notices have been received by the SIML Board or SPL Board under section 145 of the Companies Act with regard to the use of
Stride information received by Directors in their capacities as Directors of SIML or SPL or any subsidiary company of SPL.

Designation Waiver
Ruling on the Definition of “Associated Person”
A ruling that, for the purposes of the definition of “Associated
Person” in the Listing Rules, Investore is not an “Associated
Person” of SIML and accordingly, Investore is not a “Related
Party” of SIML.
Ruling on definition of “Disqualifying Relationship”
A ruling that, for the purposes of the definition of “Disqualifying
Relationship” in the Listing Rules, any reference to “Issuer”
shall be a reference to the “Stapled Group” (Stride).
Listing Rules 2.2 to 2.5 and 2.7 to 2.8
This waiver permits:
• The SPL Board and the SIML Board to be made up of the
same people;
• An SPL Board member to be deemed to be appointed
to (or removed from) the SPL Board if appointed to (or
removed from) the SIML Board; and
• The SPL Board members to retire from the SPL Board
by rotation at the same time as they retire from the SIML
Board.
Listing Rule 2.10.1
This waiver permits the Directors of one Stride company to
vote on matters in which they are “interested” due to being
a Director of the other Stride company. Directors will not be
permitted to vote on matters in which they are “interested” by
virtue of a relationship or interest other than their directorship
of the Stapled Entities.
Listing Rule 2.11
This waiver permits the pooling of Director remuneration for
Stride, and the approval of Director remuneration by way of a
single resolution of SIML shareholders.
Listing Rules 2.14.1, 2.14.2, 7.8 and 7.9
This waiver permits Stride to provide consolidated notices,
reports and communications (including notices of meetings) to
shareholders. This will not affect the obligation for each of SPL
and SIML to hold separate meetings (albeit that they will occur
one after the other).
Stride Property GroupStride Property GroupAnnual Report 2022Annual Report 2022158159
Listing Rule 4.6.1
This waiver permits SPL to issue shares to SIML employees
under a SIML employee share plan (if any), in order to ensure
that the number of SPL shares on issue is the same as the
number of SIML shares on issue at all times.
Listing Rules 3.13.1, 3.14.2 and 3.15
This waiver permits the Stride companies to announce, via
NZX, issues, acquisitions, conversions or redemptions of
securities on a consolidated basis. Dividends will be separately
announced by each of SPL and SIML.
Listing Rule 5.2.1
This waiver permits:
• each of SPL and SIML to enter into one or more Material
Transactions (as defined in the Listing Rules) for the
purposes of enabling SPL and/or SIML to establish
or acquire new property investment vehicles without
shareholder approval; and
• SPL and SIML to enter into one or more “Material
Transactions” for the purposes of enabling SIML
to establish or acquire new property management
opportunities without shareholder approval.
Ruling on definition of “Average Market Capitalisation”
and “Average Market Price”
A ruling that the term “Issuer” in the definition of “Average
Market Price” refers to the “Stapled Group” (Stride) and the
term “Quoted Equity Securities” in the definition of “Average
Market Capitalisation” refers to the stapled securities of SPL
and SIML.
Ruling on the definition of “Material Information”
A ruling that the reference to “price of quoted financial
products of the listed issuer” in the definition of “Material
Information” should be read as applying to the price of the
stapled securities of SPL and SIML. This ruling requires that
any announcement must explain whether the information is
material to SPL or SIML.
Listing Rules 3.5, 3.6.1(a), 3.7 and 3.8
This waiver permits the Stride companies to provide certain
information required in annual and half year reports on a
consolidated basis, rather than by and in respect of each Stride
company individually. This waiver is subject to the additional
condition that each of the Stride companies release individual
financial statements to the extent required by applicable
financial reporting legislation.
Listing Rule 8.3
This waiver permits the Stride companies to provide
consolidated statements of shareholdings to shareholders
which shows their overall Stride holding, rather than their
shareholding in each Stride company separately.
NZX RegCo Decision dated
25 November 2021
Listing Rule 3.14.1
This waiver was granted in connection with Stride’s capital
raise undertaken during November and December 2021
and permitted the Stride companies to provide less than the
required minimum notice of the record date for the interim
dividend declared by SPL and SIML on 25 November 2021 in
respect of the quarter ended 30 September 2021.
Listing Rule 4.5.1
This waiver was also granted in connection with Stride’s capital
raise undertaken during November and December 2021 and
permitted a placement of up to 15% of Stride’s ordinary shares
without requiring approval by ordinary resolution in accordance
with Listing Rule 4.1.1 and Listing Rule 4.2.1. In effect, the
waiver allowed Stride to undertake the placement and invite
eligible shareholders to subscribe for up to $50,000 of stapled
securities under the retail offer, which Stride considered
to be the optimal capital raising structure for Stride and its
shareholders.
Financial Reporting Exemption
The financial statements for each Stride company were
prepared in accordance with the Financial Markets Conduct
(Stride Property Group) Exemption Notice 2022. This
exemption allows SPL and SIML, subject to conditions set
out in the exemption notice, to prepare financial statements
in respect of Stride, while they remain stapled (in place of
separate financial statements for each company).
The practical implications of a shareholder holding a stapled
security include that:
• The shareholder is a shareholder of both SPL and SIML
• In order to sell a SPL share or a SIML share, the
corresponding SIML share or SPL share, as applicable,
also needs to be sold to the same purchaser
• Market disclosures via NZX may be made in respect of the
Stride companies as a whole, but each of SPL and SIML
will continue to be obliged to make announcements under
the Listing Rules according to the nature of the disclosure
(for example, announcements about the declaration of
a dividend or the passing of a resolution at a meeting of
shareholders would be made by the relevant company)
• The only quoted price of a SPL share and/or a SIML share
on the NZX Main Board will be the quoted price for the
stapled security

Directors’ Statement
This Annual Report is dated 27 May 2022 and is signed for
and on behalf of the Boards of Directors of Stride Property
Limited and Stride Investment Management Limited by:
• The materiality of “Material Information” for continuous
disclosure purposes under the Listing Rules will be
assessed against the potential effect on the price of
stapled securities as there will not be a separate quoted
price available for each of SPL and SIML. Any disclosure
of “Material Information” made by Stride will explain
whether the information is material to SPL and/or SIML
• New stapled security issues will result in equal numbers of
SPL shares and SIML shares being issued
• Shareholders are entitled to attend, or vote by proxy,
at separate meetings of shareholders of each of SPL
and SIML. For some transactions involving both Stride
companies (for example, an issuance of stapled securities
being made with shareholder approval under the Listing
Rules), resolutions might be required from shareholders
in respect of the same matter. In that case, the relevant
transaction will only be able to proceed if the respective
resolutions are approved at shareholder meetings of both
SPL and SIML
• Distributions will be received, to the extent declared, from
each of SPL and SIML

•Management fees
•Direct property income from SPL’s directly owned property
•Indirect property income from SPL’s investment in the
Stride Products –Industre, Investore and Diversified
Diversified Income Sources
Stride combines a property ownership business
(SPL) with a real estate investment management
business (SIML)
1.Stride’s revenue comprises SIML management fees and SPL revenue. SPL revenue comprises income derived from
SPL’s directly held property plus revenue derived from its interests in the Stride Products which is calculated based on
net Contract Rental on a look-through basis as at31 March 2022. Management fees comprise FY22 management
fees from Stride Products (i.e.excluding fees from SPL, butincluding SPL building management fees which are
recovered from tenants).

Management Fee Income
Stride benefits from growth in the Stride Products through:
•Activity based fees associated with acquisitions and
development activity
•Higher portfolio values resulting in higher ongoing recurring fees,
as SIML’s asset management fee is calculated as a specified
percentage of portfolio value
Stride has delivered significant growth in its management business:
•Total AUM of$3.6bnas at31 March 2022, up +74% / +12%
p.a. since 31 March 2017
•External AUM of$2.5bnas at31 March 2022, up +115% /

•While flexible working options are in strong demand following the impacts of COVID-19, productive
office space remains a core component of an organisation’s workspace strategy
•A flight to quality is occurring as occupiers upgrade to newer, high quality and well-located spaces with
flexible floorplates and lower density workspace configurations in order to attract existing employees
back into the office and enhance office productivity
•An expanding Central Government and evolving seismic regulations are driving strong demand for
modern, seismically resilient properties, particularly in Wellington
•Annual inflation has hit recent historical highs, including 6.9% in NZ (Mar-22) and 8.3% (Apr-22) in
the USA
•Cost inflation, coupled with limited labouravailability, supply chain disruptions and high materials costs
are placing significant pressure on construction costs
•In Stride’s view, higher construction costs will drive higher rentals, especially for new and existing high-
quality space

1.Facilities are classified as green loans under Fabric’s Green Finance Framework which complies with the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association (APLMA) Green Loan Principles (2021).
2.Calculated as bank debt as a percentage of investment property. Includes SPL’s office and retail properties and the debt associated with these properties and excludes SPL's interest in the Industrejoint operation and associated bank debt which
are reported as part of the assets and liabilities of SPL in the consolidated interim financial statements (see note 3.2 to the consolidated interim financial statements for further information).
3.Includes committed acquisitions, developments and disposals, primarily comprising the acquisition of 110 Carlton Gore Road and the disposal of four non-core Auckland office assets, as announced to the NZX on 5 April 2022.
4.The unexpired lease term in a property or portfolio, assuming the property or portfolio is fully leased. This is weighted by theincome applicable to each lease and a current market rental with nil term for vacant space.
5.Look through gearing is calculated taking into accountSPL’s directly-held property and debt as well as its proportionate share of the property and debt of each of the Stride Products.
6.Balance sheet gearing is calculated taking into accountSPL’s office and town centreproperties as well as the value of SPL’s interests in each of the Stride Products, and SPL’s direct debt.

Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report
Introduction
This document is the first greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) report for
Stride Investment Management Limited (SIML) and covers all managed
entities including Stride Property Limited, Fabric Property Limited, Investore
Property Limited, Diversified New Zealand Property Trust and Industre
Property Joint Venture. It covers the periods of:
• FY20 (1 April 2019 – 31 March 2020) – base year
• FY21 (1 April 2020 – 31 March 2021)
• FY22 (1 April 2021 – 31 March 2022)
This report has been written in accordance with The Greenhouse Gas
Protocol - A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, Revised Edition
(Greenhouse Gas Protocol).

SIML’s organisational boundary for GHG reporting encompasses the entities listed in
the table below. Each entity will also report on emissions generated by its activities,
including its owned properties. SIML applies an operational control approach to
identify and determine the boundary of SIML’s GHG inventory. SIML will report on its
own emissions plus 100% of the emissions for SPL and each SIML managed fund (or
Stride Product) on the basis that SIML is the property and fund manager and therefore
has “operational control”. A company has operational control over an operation if it
has the authority to introduce and implement operating policies at the operation. This
consolidation approach allows us to focus on those emission sources over which we
have operational control and can therefore implement management actions consistent
with SIML’s sustainability strategy.

Emissions Inventory
Summary
The following diagrams describe the changes to the organisational boundary from
FY20 (year ended 31 March 2020) to FY22 (year ended 31 March 2022).
1. Scope 1 Emissions: Accounts for direct GHG emissions from sources that are operated or controlled
by SIML.
2. No properties under management by SIML in FY20 had a backup generator.
3. Natural gas used at Queensgate Shopping Centre and Chartwell Shopping Centre includes gas
used by tenants but which is unable to be accurately separated into scope 1 and scope 3 emissions.
4. Scope 2 Emissions: Accounts for GHG emissions from the generation of purchased electricity
consumed by SIML-managed properties and includes embedded network lines losses from
buildings with embedded electricity networks.
Stride Property GroupGreenhouse Gas Inventory Report2Stride Property GroupGreenhouse Gas Inventory Report1
Organisational
Boundary
Operational
Boundary
SIML currently reports on scope 1 and scope 2 emissions only. This includes the “base
build” emissions (refrigeration, natural gas, stationary diesel, and electricity associated
with heating, cooling and lighting in common areas).
Scope 3 emissions, particularly the tenant GHG emissions (electricity and gas), will
be material, however the accurate collection of this data is proving difficult. SIML
has begun the collection of scope 3 emissions data and it is intended that this will be
included in future reports when accurate data is available.
A summary of exclusions is provided in Table 6.
Baseline Year
The baseline year for SIML is 1 April 2019 to 31 March 2020 (FY20). This was
chosen as the baseline year because it was the first year SIML had an understanding
of, and the data to support, its scope 1 and scope 2 emissions. If SIML’s scope 1 and
scope 2 emissions were to change by more than 10% due to company or portfolio
acquisitions or divestments, SIML acknowledges that a base year recalculation would
be appropriate. While there has been some movement in properties between the
managed entities, including acquisitions and divestments, as SIML has operational
control over all funds we do not believe there has been a need to recalculate the base
year to date.
Methodologies and Uncertainties
Emissions for scope 1 and scope 2 have been quantified using the calculation-based
method, based on activity multiplied by greenhouse gas emissions factors. Emission
factors have been sourced from official Ministry for the Environment factors detailed in
the notes to Tables 3, 4 and 5.
To minimise uncertainties in accuracy of this inventory, data has been sourced wherever
possible from a verifiable source, as detailed in Table 2.
Assurance of GHG Inventory
Deloitte Limited has been appointed as the third-party independent assurance provider
for the FY22 Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report (including FY20 and FY21).
A limited level of assurance has been given by Deloitte Limited over the scope 1 and
scope 2 assertions and quantifications for FY20, FY21 and FY22 included in this report.
Refer to Appendix 1 for the Assurance Report.
SIML includes scope 1 and scope 2 emissions from all relevant Kyoto Protocol gases in
our carbon inventory. The emissions sources in Table 2 have been included in the GHG
emissions inventory.

Notes to Table 2:
1. Diesel used in building backup generators:
• For FY20 no buildings owned by SIML managed properties had a building backup generator.
• 34 Shortland Street is part of a body corporate. SIML’s portion of the diesel consumption is 85.875%, based on
the proportion of ownership between the two owners of the property using the generator services.
2. Natural gas:
• For FY20 and FY21 at Johnsonville Shopping Centre the consumption split between tenant and landlord is
calculated based on FY22 split of landlord = 30.26% and tenant = 69.74%, calculated from the average split
during FY22. FY22 data is read on internal check meters and allocated to tenants accordingly. The remainder is
landlord consumption for heating.
• Queensgate and Chartwell Shopping Centres – all natural gas use is allocated to scope 1 as it is unable to be
accurately split between scope 1 and scope 3 for FY20, FY21 and FY22.
• 34 Shortland Street is part of a body corporate. SIML’s portion of the common parts gas consumption is 85.875%,
based on the proportion of ownership between the two owners of the property using the natural gas for heating.
3. Fugitive emissions from air conditioning systems:
• Refrigeration data is collected annually. Where a site has been sold, purchased, or transferred between entities,
the total refrigeration for the year is divided by 12 and multiplied by the number of months the site was held by the
respective entity as it is not known when the leakage occurred.
• Air conditioning refrigerant used in SIML managed properties includes: R134A, R22, R32, R404A, R407C,
R410A, R438A.
4. Electricity:
• 34 Shortland Street is part of a body corporate. SIML’s portion of the common parts electricity consumption is
85.875%, based on the proportion of ownership between the two owners of the property using the electricity for
common parts of the building.
• 22 The Terrace was undergoing major refurbishment from December 2021 to February 2022. Electricity
continued to be paid by SIML and therefore is retained as a scope 2 emission.
5. Embedded network lines losses:
• No data provided for FY20 as accurate data is not available.
• 22 The Terrace was undergoing major refurbishment from December 2021 to February 2022. Electricity
continued to be paid by SIML and therefore is retained as a scope 2 emission.

To the Board of Directors
of Stride Investment
Management Limited
Report on Greenhouse Gas Emissions (‘GHG’) Inventory Reports
We have undertaken a limited assurance engagement relating to the
Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory Reports (the ‘inventory reports’) of
Stride Investment Management Limited (the ‘Group’) for the base year ended
31 March 2020 (‘base period’), the previous year ended 31 March 2021
(‘prior period’), and the current year ended 31 March 2022 (‘current period’),
presented together and comprising the scope 1 and scope 2 emissions
inventories and the explanatory notes set out on pages 1 to 8.
The inventory reports provide information about the Scope 1 and 2
greenhouse gas emissions of the Group for the base, prior and current
period and are based on historical information. This information is stated
in accordance with the requirements of the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A
Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (2004) (‘the GHG Protocol’)
which can be accessed at http://ghgprotocol.org/corporate-standard.
Board of Directors’ Responsibility
The Board of Directors are responsible for the preparation of the scope 1 and
2 emissions within the inventory reports, in accordance with the GHG Protocol.
This responsibility includes the design, implementation and maintenance of
internal control relevant to the preparation of inventory reports that are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a limited assurance conclusion on the scope
1 and 2 emissions within the inventory reports based on the procedures
we have performed and the evidence we have obtained. We conducted our
limited assurance engagement in accordance with International Standard on
Assurance Engagements (New Zealand) 3410: Assurance Engagements on
Greenhouse Gas Statements (‘ISAE (NZ) 3410’), issued by the New Zealand
Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. That standard requires that we
plan and perform this engagement to obtain limited assurance about whether
the inventory reports are free from material misstatement.
A limited assurance engagement undertaken in accordance with ISAE (NZ)
3410 involves assessing the suitability in the circumstances of the Group’s
use of the GHG Protocol as the basis for the preparation of the inventory
reports, assessing the risks of material misstatement of the inventory
reports whether due to fraud or error, responding to the assessed risks as
necessary in the circumstances, and evaluating the overall presentation of
the inventory reports. A limited assurance engagement is substantially less in
scope than a reasonable assurance engagement in relation to both the risk
assessment procedures, including an understanding of internal control, and
the procedures performed in response to the assessed risks.
The procedures we performed were based on our professional judgement
and included enquiries, observations of processes performed, inspection
of documents, analytical procedures, evaluating the appropriateness of
quantification methods and reporting policies, and agreeing or reconciling
with underlying records.
Given the circumstances of the engagement, in performing the procedures
listed above we:
• Through enquiries, obtained an understanding of the
Group’s control environment and information systems
relevant to emissions quantification and reporting, but
did not evaluate the design of particular control activities,
obtain evidence about their implementation or test their
operating effectiveness.
• Evaluated whether the Group’s methods for developing
estimates are appropriate and had been consistently
applied. However, our procedures did not include testing
the data on which the estimates are based or separately
developing our own estimates against which to evaluate
the Group’s estimates.
• Reviewed adherence to the principles and requirements
outlined in GHG Protocol.
The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement
vary in nature and timing from, and are less in extent than
for, a reasonable assurance engagement. Consequently,
the level of assurance obtained in a limited assurance
engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that
would have been obtained had we performed a reasonable
assurance engagement. Accordingly, we do not express a
reasonable assurance opinion about whether Stride Investment
Management Limited’s inventory reports have been prepared, in
all material respects, in accordance with the GHG Protocol.
Inherent Limitations
GHG quantification is subject to inherent uncertainty because
of incomplete scientific knowledge used to determine
emissions factors and the values needed to combine emissions
of different gases.
Our Independence and Quality Control
We have complied with the independence and other
ethical requirements of Professional and Ethical Standard
1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners
(including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand)
(‘PES-1’) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance
Standards Board, which is founded on fundamental principles
of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care,
confidentiality and professional behaviour.
Other than this engagement, our firm has provided long-term
incentive plan valuation services. Also, our firm deals with the
Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading
activities of the business of the Group via a rental agreement of a
property owned by the Group. The firm has no other relationship
with, or interest in the Group.
The firm applies Professional and Ethical Standard 3
(Amended): Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits
and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance
Engagements issued by the New Zealand Auditing and
Assurance Standards Board, and accordingly maintains a
comprehensive system of quality control including documented
policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical
requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and
regulatory requirements.
Use of Report
This report is provided solely for your exclusive use in
accordance with the terms of our engagement. Our report is
not to be used for any other purpose, recited or referred to in
any document, copied or made available (in whole or in part)
to any other person without our prior written express consent.
We accept or assume no duty, responsibility or liability to any
other party in connection with the report or this engagement,
including without limitation, liability for negligence in relation to
the opinion expressed in this report.
Limited Assurance Conclusion
Based on the procedures we have performed and the evidence
we have obtained, nothing has come to our attention that
causes us to believe that Stride Investment Management
Limited’s scope 1 and scope 2 emissions within the inventory
reports for the base period, prior period and the current period
were not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with
the requirements of the GHG Protocol.
