Precinct Quarterly Update

Welcome to the June edition of

our quarterly update.

Special Meeting

Precinct held a Special Meeting on 11 May 2023 to consider

moving to a stapled company structure.

In order to give effect to the stapling proposal, amendments to

Precinct’s constitution required the approval of Shareholders by

Special Resolution. The effect of the amendments to the

constitution is that Precinct Shares and Precinct Investments

Shares is able to be stapled together, meaning they can only be

transferred or dealt with together. Noting the underlying assets of

the stapled group are the same as immediately prior to stapling.

Voting was conducted by poll and Shareholders passed the

Special Resolution with 99.92% of votes received in favour.

Given Precinct’s strategic direction, future participation in a

wider set of opportunities and growth in our capital partnerships,

a stapled structure will ensure the most robust company structure

to allow flexibility for Precinct to continue to execute its strategy

whilst retaining Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE) status.

Having the support of you, our Shareholders is an integral part of

achieving Precinct’s long-term strategy. A stapled structure,

combined with strategy execution, is expected to provide

significant long-term benefits to Precinct and its investors.

Board Update

We are delighted to have announced early this year in February

that Anne Urlwin will replace myself as Chair of the Precinct

Board at the conclusion of my current term in November 2023.

Ensuring a seamless transition and handover, the People and

Performance Committee consider Anne to be the best

replacement for the Chair of Precinct and strongly believe Anne

has the right skills and experience. Since her appointment to the

Precinct Board in 2019, Anne has been Chair of the Audit and

Risk Committee and has made a significant contribution to

Precinct’s governance regime.

Outlook

Consistent with earlier guidance provided, the Board expects no

change to Precinct’s full year FY23 dividend of 6.70 cps to be

paid in total cash dividends to shareholders.

Yours faithfully,

Craig Stobo, Independent Director and Chair

Sustainability

Precinct continue to take an active approach to climate action,

as well as Climate-related disclosures.

Since 2021, Precinct has reported climate-related financial

disclosures that align with the recommendations of the Taskforce

on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (TCFD). This prepares us

to meet the incoming mandatory Aotearoa New Zealand

Climate Standards in subsequent reporting periods. Presently, we

have identified physical and transition climate-related risks and

incorporated them into Precinct’s climate-related risk register,

which is a component of the Risk Management Plan.

Our full climate-related disclosures can be found here:

www.precinct.co.nz/tcfd-framework

We remain focused on energy efficiency and meeting or

exceeding New Zealand’s excellence levels under NABERSNZ

and Green Star Ratings.

We look forward to sharing more with you in our upcoming

Annual Report as we continue to advance our ESG initiatives.
