GMT positioned for growth with Internalisation Proposal

Date 26 February 2024

Release Immediate

The Board of Goodman (NZ) Limited (“GNZ”) has entered into an agreement to

internalise the management of Goodman Property Trust (“GMT”)

to support its future

growth strategy ("Internalisation Proposal").

Conditional on Unitholder and other approvals, the change to the corporate structure would

bring to an end the existing external management arrangement with ASX-listed Goodman

Group and effectively transfer these functions to GMT.

James Spence, Chief Executive Officer of GNZ said, “Internalisation is expected to provide

growth opportunities for our business, and immediate and longer-term benefits to our

Unitholders. It reduces expenses, diversifies income, and enhances the ability to recycle

capital through the establishment of a complementary property funds management

business.”

Overview of the Internalisation Proposal and process

Led by Deputy Chair of GNZ, David Gibson, a sub-committee of the Independent Directors

was established to consider and negotiate the terms of the Internalisation Proposal with

Goodman Group. Through its subsidiaries, Goodman Group has been the manager of GMT

and a cornerstone investor since 2003.

Following the successful conclusion of this process, an agreement has been entered into to

effect the change, which will involve the assumption of management functions by Goodman

Property Services (NZ) Limited ("GPSNZ").

GMT’s property investment strategy of owning high quality Auckland logistics property

remains unchanged and there is continuity of business operations. This includes retention of

James Spence, CEO and the wider executive team in their current roles. The directors of

GNZ will also become directors of GPSNZ, with the new manager entity to be effectively

controlled by Unitholders.

Key terms of the Internalisation Proposal include:

+Goodman Group will be paid $272.4 million to relinquish its management rights, for

the shares in GPSNZ and for the associated co-operation arrangements a

nd

se

rvices. Net of tax, the $199.3 million consideration represents a 9.1x multiple of t

he

$22.

0 million normalised FY24 savings GMT expects to realise, which is consistent

with precedent transactions.

+An additional $17.6 million will also be paid to Goodman Group to settle GMT’s

performance fee obligations, to acquire its interest in co-owned (with GMT

)

i

nvestment properties and for the net tangible assets of GPSNZ.

+Goodman Group will use the total consideration of $290 million to subscribe for new

units in GMT at $2.14 per unit ( being the 5-day VWAP to 20-Feb-24), increasing its

cornerstone investment in GMT to 31.8%.

Independent Appraisal Report
Deloitte, the Independent Appraiser, assessed the $272.4 million consideration as being

within their fair market valuation range of $268 million to $315 million and therefore concluded

that the Internalisation Proposal was fair to non-associated Unitholders. They also concluded

that the issue of new units to Goodman Group was fair to non-associated Unitholders. Their

full report is attached to the Notice of Meeting released today.

David Gibson said, “Internalisation is a positive initiative that positions GMT for the next

phase of its business growth. With the many benefits it provides and within Deloitte’s fair

value range, the initiative presents a great opportunity for our Unitholders.”

Internalisation is expected to deliver 2.8% accretion to FY24 pro forma adjusted funds from

operations.

It is also expected to provide greater alignment of interests with the board and

executives of GPSNZ being remunerated directly by GMT.

Internalised management to establish property funds management business

Subject to internalisation proceeding, GPSNZ will seek to establish a funds management

platform anchored by a new Auckland logistics property fund. Initially investing up to $100

million

2

itself, and with a commitment of up to $200 million

2

from Goodman Group, GMT will

leverage Goodman Group’s global investor relationships to secure further third-party capital.

John Dakin, Chair of GNZ said, "GMT's substantial Auckland industrial portfolio, urban

logistics focus, development pipeline, sector expertise, balance sheet flexibility and scalable

platform have supported its successful investment track record."

"We believe internalisation will enable GMT to reach its full potential and create further value

for all our stakeholders."

With the flexibility to acquire assets on-market and directly from GMT’s existing portfolio,

GPSNZ’s funds management platform has a target of scaling to ~$2 billion within three-to-

five-years.

James Spence said, "The establishment of a funds management business and introduction of

new capital partners complements GMT’s current investment strategy. The positive income

contribution from management fee revenue and an enhanced ability to recycle capital is

expected to support annualised earnings growth of between 5% and 7% within the next three-

to-five years.”

Benefits of Goodman relationship to continue

Chief Executive Officer of Goodman Group, Greg Goodman said, “This transaction is all

about growth and capturing the opportunity available in the New Zealand market. Additionally,

access to alternative funding sources will allow GMT to finance this growth in a way that will

generate significant value for GMT Unitholders.”

James Spence said, “Internalisation presents an exciting opportunity for GMT. Retaining all

the benefits of the Goodman brand, we've got the team, property portfolio, customer

relationships and market expertise to scale up our business and deliver an investment

strategy focused on sustainable value creation.”

Assuming the issuance of Units to Goodman Group at an issue price of $2.14 per Unit, treating the benefit of current and future

tax deductions associated with internalisation as if they had repaid debt. Accretion to adjusted funds from operations (“AFFO”), a

metric which captures the benefit of leasing fees no longer being payable to a third party and which are not reflected in cash

earnings

Investor presentation and FY25 guidance
A presentation providing further details of t he Internalisation Proposal has been provided to

the NZX. There will be an online presentation to investors, analysts and media at 9:15 am,

today. The link to the webcast is: https://ccmediaframe.com/?id=Dw4yg7Uo


Underlying cash earnings guidance for FY24 is reaffirmed at around 7.4 cents per unit, with

full year cash distributions of 6.2 cents per unit expected to be paid.

James Spence said, “FY25 guidance for an internalised GMT is also provided, with cash

earnings forecast to be around 7.5 cents per unit. The guidance represents a 5% increase

on restated FY24 cash earnings.”

FY25 cash distributions of 6.5 cents per unit a re forecast, a 5% increase on FY24 and

representing around 87% of cash earnings.

Notice of Meeting

Given the related party nature of the Internalisation Proposal, Unitholder approval is being

sought and a Special Meeting will be held at 10am on Tuesday 26 March 2024 at the Park

Hyatt Hotel, 99 Halsey Street, Auckland 1010.

There are three resolutions detailed in the Notice of Meeting and all resolutions

must be

approved for the Internalisation Proposal to proceed.

Deputy Chair and Independent Director of GNZ, David Gibson said, “The Independent

Directors unanimously recommend that Unitholders vote in favour of all three resolutions.”

MANAGEMENT

The implementation of a funds management platform will unlock

access to new capital, providing GMT the ability to finance its growth

objectives without increasing the financial risk of the business

+While the short-term gearing outlook is above the current preferred 20-30% range,

GMT is comfortably compliant with all debt and Trust Deed covenants

+GMT’s balance sheet and capital management strategy once underway with funds

management activity, will be driven by a preference for a conservative look through

gearing range and an agile balance sheet, enabling GMT to absorb short term volatility

and to take advantage of opportunities including:

−capital participation in new partnerships

−targeted on balance sheet acquisitions

−ability to fund development pipeline on balance sheet

+GMT’s preferred gearing range and position within it will be dependent upon activity

– e.g. exposure to higher levels of development would drive a preference for lower

gearing to accommodate

+Diverse sources and tenor of debt funding will be maintained, with appropriate levels of

hedging to manage interest rate volatility

Dear Unitholder
We are pleased to invite Unitholders to a special

meeting to be held on 26 March 2024.

This is an important meeting to seek approval

to the Internalisation of the management of

Goodman Property Trust (“GMT”).

Further details of the transaction are set out in this letter and this Notice of Meeting.

Please consider these materials carefully.

GOODMAN (NZ) LIMITED’S INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

Background to the proposal

GMT is an externally managed, NZX listed

managed investment scheme. GMT is currently

managed by Goodman (NZ) Limited (“GNZ”),

which is owned by ASX listed Goodman Group,

with certain other services provided to GMT by

another Goodman Group subsidiary, Goodman

Property Services (NZ) Limited (“GPSNZ”).

Following engagement from GNZ, Goodman

Group presented a proposal to internalise the

management of GMT (“Internalisation Proposal”).

A sub-committee of the Independent Directors

was established to consider and negotiate the

proposal, and a conditional agreement has been

entered into with Goodman Group to effect the

Internalisation.

Proposed Internalisation process

The Internalisation Proposal involves the transfer

of the managerial functions of GMT currently

performed by GNZ to GPSNZ. Ownership of

GPSNZ will be transferred by Goodman Group as

part of the Internalisation and, once it becomes

the new manager of GMT, GPSNZ will effectively

be controlled by Unitholders.

Covenant Trustee Services Limited (as

Supervisor) is appointed to independently monitor

the management of GMT and its role will not

change under the Internalisation Proposal.

Given the related party nature of the

Internalisation, and in particular that Goodman

Group owns GNZ and also has a significant

unitholding in GMT, Unitholder approval is

required. There are three resolutions detailed

in this Notice of Meeting that are required

to approve the Internalisation Proposal.

Each resolution must be approved for the

Internalisation to proceed and none of the

resolutions will take effect unless all three

resolutions are passed by the requisite majority.

Strategic rationale

Internalisation is expected to provide both

immediate and longer-term benefits to

Unitholders, reducing expenses and introducing

the ability to capture fee revenue while recycling

capital through the establishment of a property

funds management business.

The creation of a property funds management

business and introduction of new capital partners

will complement the current investment strategy,

providing increased flexibility to grow and

enhance the portfolio.

GMT’s substantial Auckland industrial portfolio,

urban logistics focus, future development

pipeline, sector expertise, balance sheet flexibility

and scalable platform make it a highly desirable

investment option for potential capital partners.

LETTER FROM THE


INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

Keith SmithLaurissa CooneyDavid GibsonLeonie Freeman

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 20242

Subject to Internalisation proceeding, GPSNZ
will seek to establish a new Auckland logistics

property fund. With the flexibility to acquire

assets on-market and directly from GMT’s

existing portfolio, GPSNZ’s funds management

platform is expected to grow to approximately

$2 billion within three-to-five years.

The success which GNZ / GPSNZ have

achieved with previous joint ventures and their

ability to unlock acquisition and development

opportunities in the local property market

reflects the investment management expertise

of each company’s directors and executives.

Internalisation will mean GMT continues to benefit

from this capability whilst retaining the net fees

from GPSNZ’s management of the new fund and

the properties it acquires, providing continuity

of operations and a platform that is expected to

drive greater income diversification and earnings

growth over time.

Consideration and funding

Goodman Group will be paid $272.4 million

(plus GST, if any) to relinquish its rights under the

existing management agreements, for the shares

in GPSNZ and for the associated co-operation

arrangements and services described in this

Notice of Meeting. An additional $17.6 million

(plus GST, if any) will also be paid to settle

GMT’s performance fee obligations and to

acquire Goodman Group’s interest in co-owned

investment properties and the net tangible assets

of GPSNZ.

There will be no obligation to pay performance

fees relating to historical out performance that

would be carried forward ($42.7 million as at

20 February 2024, excluding the performance

fee component of the $17.6 million referred

to above). In addition, the existing long-term

incentive plan liability for GPSNZ staff (with

an expected economic value of $41.4 million

at 30 September 2023) will be retained by

Goodman Group. GMT intends to establish a

new incentive scheme under which the first

equity issuance to staff is expected to be made

in F Y28.

Following the Internalisation, GMT will no longer

pay fund management, property services,

development management, project management

and other fees to GNZ or GPSNZ other than to

GPSNZ on a cost recovery basis. The net of tax

payment to Goodman Group of $199.3 million

represents a 9.1x multiple of the $22.0 million

normalised FY24 savings GMT expects to realise

from the Internalisation.

Goodman Group will apply all of the consideration

it will receive ($290 million) to subscribe for new

units in GMT at $2.14 per Unit, GMT’s 5-day

volume weighted average Unit price (“VWAP”)

ending on 20 February 2024. Goodman Group’s

holding in GMT will increase to 31.8% should the

Internalisation Proposal proceed.

Highbrook Business Park, East Tāmaki. This world-class estate makes up almost half of GMT’s $4.5 billion urban logistics portfolio.

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 20244
GMT is New Zealand’s largest listed real estate

entity, it is a high-quality business with a substantial

portfolio, a wide customer base and a proven

development capability.

Consideration and funding – continued
Deloitte (“Independent Appraiser”) has been

engaged by the Independent Directors to review

the fairness of the Internalisation Proposal.

It notes in the Independent Appraisal Report that:

“ The fair market value of

the Management Rights

is assessed to be in the

range of $268 million

to $315 million. The

proposed net termination

payment of $272.4 million

is within Deloitte’s fair

market valuation range,

and is therefore fair to

Unitholders.”

“ The proposed issuance of

units to Goodman Funds

Management Limited, as

responsible entity for GIT

is fair to Unitholders not

associated with GIT.”

A copy of the Independent Appraisal Report

prepared by Deloitte is provided within this

Notice of Meeting. It includes full details and

analysis of the terms of the Internalisation

Proposal. We recommend you read this report

carefully and in full.

Benefits of Internalisation

The Independent Directors consider the benefits

of adopting an internalised management

structure will include:

1. An enhanced growth profile and

scalable platform

+ Enhanced returns through the elimination

of fees currently paid to Goodman Group,

including fees forecast to be generated from

GMT’s significant development pipeline.

LETTER FROM THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

— continued

+ The establishment of a property funds

management platform will support GMT’s

property development programme and

facilitate new acquisition opportunities,

creating an opportunity for faster earnings

growth and income diversification.

+In addition to the fee revenue it will generate,

the successful execution of its funds

management strategy will provide GMT

with an enhanced ability to recycle capital.

The opportunity to sell assets directly into

its property funds management platform

is expected to contribute to GMT’s

sustainable growth.

+ Targeting the creation of a ~$2 billion

property funds management business,

the positive contribution from additional

management fee revenue is expected to

support annualised earnings growth of

between 5% and 7% over the next three

to five years.

2. Positive financial metrics

+ Internalisation is expected to deliver 2.8%

accretion to FY24 pro forma adjusted funds

from operations.

1,2


+ Highly attractive total return proposition for

Unitholders, with 12.8% value accretion.

1,3


+ Application of the consideration received by

Goodman Group to subscribe for Units at

$2.14 per Unit results in Goodman Group

having a cornerstone unitholding of 31.8%,

a strong statement of support from GMT’s

largest Unitholder. It also has the benefit of

not reducing GMT’s liquidity or adding to

GMT’s gearing levels.

3. Continuity of resources with

greater alignment

+Provides continuity with Directors and

executives being retained and remunerated

directly by GMT and all directors of GPSNZ

being appointed by Unitholders.

+ Goodman Group’s increased unitholding

enhances alignment of interests between

Goodman Group and GMT.

+ Improves alignment with property ownership

and management effectively consolidated

into one economic entity.

Assuming the issuance of Units to

Goodman Group at an issue price of

$2.14 per Unit, treating the benefit

of current and future tax deductions

associated with internalisation as if

they had repaid debt.

Accretion to adjusted funds from

operations (“AFFO”), a metric which

party and which are not reflected in

cash earnings.

Value accretion is FY24 pro forma

AFFO accretion adjusted for the

$10.6 million FY24 pro forma

earnings or AFFO but which will

be reflected in property valuation

movements and as a result, net

tangible assets. This metric is

akin to a total return measure for

GMT Unitholders.

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 20245

GMT’s development programme

includes four active projects,

providing 68,000 sqm of

prime warehouse of logistics space.

Potential risks associated
with Internalisation

The Independent Directors have also

considered possible downsides and potential

risks of the Internalisation. Potential risks

include the following:

+You may disagree with the conclusions

of the Independent Directors and/or

the Independent Appraiser about the

Internalisation Proposal’s benefits.

+Unitholders may be exposed to the historical

liabilities of GPSNZ, if any (recognising steps

have been taken to mitigate for this risk

through due diligence and in the terms of

the transaction documentation, as agreed

between Goodman Group and GMT).

+The Internalisation involves GMT being

responsible for its own management going

forward. If future expenses relating to

management of GMT exceed expectations

this may offset some of the expected benefits

of the Internalisation.

+Existing Unitholders will be diluted to some

extent due to the issuance of new Units to

Goodman Group.

+GMT’s pro-forma net tangible assets (“NTA”)

per Unit as at 31 March 2024 will reduce

from $2.128 to $1.993 as a result of certain

components of the consideration being

expensed in GMT’s profit or loss account

and because of the Units to be issued to

Goodman Group.

Continued support from

Goodman Group

Goodman Group has been the owner of the

manager of GMT and a cornerstone investor in

GMT since 2003, currently holding 25.2% of

GMT Units. The relationship has been extremely

positive, with the delivery of world-class

developments like Highbrook Business Park

establishing GMT as New Zealand’s largest and

best performing listed property entity over the

last 10 years.

Goodman Group will continue as a highly

supportive business partner, using the

consideration it will receive to subscribe for

new Units and agreeing to provide ongoing

corporate services to GMT and access for

GMT management to Goodman Group’s

systems and global expertise.

Additionally, in recognition of the strategic

benefits for GMT in the creation of GPSNZ’s

property funds management platform, Goodman

Group has also committed to contribute up

to $200 million of equity to GPSNZ’s first

investment partnership, subject to settlement of

the Internalisation and final approval of its terms.

GMT will co-invest up to $100 million on

the same basis and will leverage Goodman

Group’s global relationships to secure further

third-party capital.

EXPLANATORY
NOTES

Background

GMT is currently managed by GNZ, a wholly

owned subsidiary of Goodman Group, in

accordance with the Trust Deed.

GNZ subcontracts certain functions to GPSNZ,

another wholly owned subsidiary of Goodman

Group, which also performs certain property

management services for GMT.

The board of GNZ received a proposal from

Goodman Group to internalise the management

of GMT. Goodman Group’s proposal

contemplated GNZ ceasing to be the manager

of GMT and GPSNZ becoming the manager. As

part of the proposal, Goodman Group would

transfer ownership of GPSNZ to the Shareholder,

as a result of which, GPSNZ will effectively be

controlled by Unitholders.

The Independent Directors formed a sub-

committee to consider and negotiate the terms

on which an internalisation proposal might be

developed to benefit Unitholders.

Key terms of the Internalisation

The Independent Directors have reached

conditional agreement with Goodman Group

to internalise the management of GMT

and present the Internalisation Proposal to

Unitholders at the Meeting.

The terms of the Internalisation Proposal,

including the payments to be made to Goodman

Group, were negotiated on an arm’s length

commercial basis. The Independent Directors

considered the proposal on behalf of GMT and its

Unitholders based on independent advice from

investment banks engaged by them.

The payment for the termination of management

rights was agreed following a series of discussions

with Goodman Group and it reflects an

assessment of the expected benefits and savings

for GMT from the Internalisation Proposal as well

as the value of the management rights which GNZ

was agreeing to relinquish.

The key terms of the Internalisation are set

out below:

+A payment of $272.4 million (plus GST, if

any) will be made to Goodman Group for GNZ

agreeing to relinquish its rights under the

existing management arrangements as well

as for the shares in GPSNZ and the provision

of co-operation and services arrangements

following settlement of the Internalisation.

This payment is comprised of $250 million

(plus GST, if any) for the termination of the

management arrangements between GMT

and GNZ, $11.3 million (plus GST, if any)

for the termination of the current property

and development management agreements

between GMT and GPSNZ and $11.1 million

(plus GST, if any) for cooperation services

to be provided by Goodman Group to GMT

(which has been netted off against a payment

of $100,000 for secretariat services to be

provided by GPSNZ to Goodman Group).

+A payment of $17.6 million (plus GST, if

any) in aggregate will be made to Goodman

Group in consideration for the sale to

GMT of Goodman Group’s interest in co-

owned investment properties and the net

tangible assets of GPSNZ, and in lieu of any

performance fee that may be payable to

GNZ for the period from 1 April 2023 until

settlement of the Internalisation under the

terms of the Trust Deed.

+There will be no obligation to pay

performance fees relating to historical out

performance that would be carried forward

($42.7 million as at 20 February 2024,

excluding the $14.7 million performance

fee paid as part of the transactions).

+The existing long-term incentive plan

liability for GPSNZ staff (with an expected

economic value of $41.4 million at

30 September 2023) will be retained by

Goodman Group. GMT intends to establish

a new incentive scheme under which the

first equity issuance to staff is expected to

be made in FY28.

Independent Appraiser conclusions
In accordance with the Listing Rules, Deloitte

has been engaged as Independent Appraiser

to assess the Internalisation Proposal and the

proposed issuance of new Units to Goodman

Funds Management Limited, as responsible entity

for Goodman Industrial Trust (“GIT”).

Deloitte has concluded that:

+the Proposed

Internalisation is fair

to the Unitholders

not associated with

Goodman Group; and

+the proposed issuance

of Units to GIT is fair

to the Unitholders not

associated with GIT.

These conclusions are discussed further in the

Independent Appraisal Report in Schedule 3.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

— continued

+The payments described above will be paid

by GMT in cash and will be used by Goodman

Group to subscribe for $290 million of fully

paid Units at a fixed price of $2.14 per Unit

which was determined on the basis of the

higher of the NTA per Unit (taking account of

preliminary 31 March 2024 valuations) or

the 5-day VWAP up to 20 February 2024

via a placement to occur on the day the

Internalisation is settled.

+A portion of the payments to Goodman

Group will be deductible for GMT’s tax

purposes, meaning the net cost of the

Internalisation will equate to approximately

$199.3 million. A binding ruling has been

obtained from Inland Revenue confirming that

the payment of $250 million relating to the

termination of GNZ’s management rights is

deductible. In addition, certain other amounts

being paid are deductible by GMT for income

tax purposes.

RESOLUTION 1
– Approval of Internalisation

Resolution 1 relates to the proposed internalisation

of the management of GMT and authorisation for

GNZ and the Supervisor to do everything required

to give effect to the Internalisation.

Resolution 1 requires approval by an Ordinary

Resolution of Unitholders because the

transactions required to effect the Internalisation

constitute a “Material Transaction with a Related

Party” under the Listing Rules. The Internalisation

is a Material Transaction because it relates to

providing or obtaining services in respect of which

the actual gross cost to GMT exceeds 1% of its

average market capitalisation. GMT’s current

manager, GNZ, is a “Related Party” of GMT under

the Listing Rules, including because companies

within Goodman Group hold more than 10% of

the Units in GMT.

GNZ, Goodman Limited and the Associated

Persons of both (including other entities within

Goodman Group and each of the Directors) are

disqualified by Listing Rule 6.3.1 and the Act from

voting in favour of, or acting as a discretionary

proxy in relation to, resolution 1.

RESOLUTION 2

– Issue of Units

Resolution 2 relates to the issuance of

135,514,019 new Units to Goodman Funds

Management Limited, as responsible entity for

GIT, at an issue price of $2.14 per Unit. The

subscription amount for these new Units will

be satisfied by Goodman Group applying the

payments to be made to it under the Internalisation

Proposal to subscribe for those Units.

Resolution 2 requires approval by an Ordinary

Resolution of Unitholders because the Listing Rules

require that (except in limited circumstances which

are inapplicable in the present circumstances)

GMT may only issue Units with approval of an

Ordinary Resolution of Unitholders.

Goodman Funds Management Limited, as

responsible entity for GIT, is an Associated Person

of GNZ (because it is a Related Body Corporate

(as defined in the Listing Rules) of GNZ) and

Gregory Goodman (because Mr Goodman is both

a Director of GNZ and a director of Goodman

Funds Management Limited).

The new Units will rank equally with all existing

Units. The allotment of the new Units will occur

on the date the Internalisation is settled.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

— continued

The dilutionary impact of the issue of the new

Units is set out below. Note the calculations are

subject to any further issuances of Units that may

occur in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Current Units on issue: 1,403,254,516

Units to be issued to

Goodman Funds Management

Limited, as responsible

entity for GIT: 135,514,019

Total Units on issue if

Resolution 2 is passed

and the new Units

are issued: 1,538,768,535

Example Unitholder

percentage currently: 1.0%

Example Unitholder percentage

after issuance of new Units: 0.9%

GNZ, Goodman Limited and the Associated

Persons of both (including other entities within

Goodman Group and each of the Directors) are

disqualified by Listing Rule 6.3.1 and the Act from

voting in favour of, or acting as a discretionary

proxy in relation to, resolution 2.

RESOLUTION 3

– Appointment of New Manager

Resolution 3 relates to the appointment of

GPSNZ as the new manager of GMT upon

settlement of the Internalisation.

GPSNZ must hold a licence under section

388(a) of the Act to act as manager of GMT.

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the FMA

has granted, on a conditional basis, GPSNZ a

licence under section 388(a) of the Act to act as

manager in accordance with the Trust Deed.

The Trust Deed provides that a new manager

may only be appointed by Extraordinary

Resolution of Unitholders (pursuant to clause

24.38(g) of the Trust Deed).

GNZ, Goodman Limited and other entities within

Goodman Group (as well as each of the Directors)

may vote in favour of, or act as a discretionary

proxy in relation to, resolution 3.

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202413

Recommendation of the
Independent Directors

The Independent Directors

believe the Internalisation

offers both immediate and

longer-term benefits to

Unitholders and unanimously

recommend that you

approve the Internalisation

by voting in favour of

resolutions 1, 2 and 3.

None of the resolutions shall take effect

unless all of the resolutions are passed by

the requisite majority.

Other aspects of the Internalisation

Listing Rule waivers

NZX has granted the following waivers to GMT

in respect of the Internalisation Proposal:

(a) a waiver from Listing Rule 2.10.1 so that

the board of GNZ may pass resolutions in

connection with the Internalisation Proposal;

and

(b) a waiver from Listing Rule 2.11.1 so that

the directors of GPSNZ may be paid

remuneration out of the Assets of GMT at

the same level as is currently paid by GNZ,

without seeking separate Unitholder approval

under Listing Rule 2.11.

The details and conditions of the above waivers

are discussed in Schedule 2.

Consequences if Internalisation

is not approved

The Internalisation Proposal is conditional upon

Unitholder approval, and will only be approved

if each of resolutions 1, 2 and 3 set out in this

Notice of Meeting is approved by the requisite

majority.

If the Internalisation Proposal is not approved,

GMT would continue to be managed by GNZ.

GPSNZ will continue to be part of the Goodman

Group and the Trust Deed will not be amended

as proposed. Goodman Group will continue to

receive fees as occurs currently. There is no

assurance that either Goodman Group or the

Independent Directors would consider alternative

internalisation proposals for recommendation

to Unitholders.

Timetable

If Unitholder approval of the Internalisation

Proposal is obtained, it is intended that settlement

of the transactions required to implement the

Internalisation (as referred to in resolutions 1, 2

and 3) will occur on or about 28 March 2024.

Important information about

the Internalisation accompanies

this Notice of Meeting

The following materials accompany this

Notice of Meeting:

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202417

Documentation and steps to bring the
Internalisation into effect

+On 26 February 2024, GNZ, Goodman

Limited and the Supervisor entered into an

Implementation Deed under which the parties

conditionally agreed that the management

of GMT should be internalised on the terms

and conditions set out in the Implementation

Deed and the other Transaction Agreements

and to proceed with the steps required to

implement the Internalisation Proposal.

+The Implementation Deed is conditional on a

number of matters, including the Unitholder

approval contemplated by the resolutions

set out in this Notice of Meeting and consent

of GMT’s bank financiers / amendment to

the GMT financing documents necessary

to implement the Internalisation Proposal.

Various other regulatory approvals, licences

and NZX waivers are required to implement

the Internalisation Proposal. Each of those

other regulatory approvals, licences and NZX

waivers have already been obtained.

+As at the date of this Notice of Meeting GMT

has commenced the process of seeking

from its bank financiers the consents and

amendments to the financing documents

necessary to implement the Internalisation.

The risk of not satisfying this condition is

considered to be low, given the encouraging

feedback GMT received from its bank

financiers prior to the date of this Notice

of Meeting in relation to the consent and

amendment requests. It is, however, possible

that this condition is not satisfied or may

be granted subject to conditions that are

unsatisfactory to the parties.

FURTHER

INFORMATION

ABOUT THE

INTERNALISATION

+The Implementation Deed may be terminated

if the conditions are not met by 26 August

2024, if GNZ or Goodman Group suffer an

insolvency event, if GNZ or Goodman Group

is in material breach of the Implementation

Deed or if the Supervisor is directed to do so

by the necessary resolution of Unitholders

under the Trust Deed, with the result that

even if the Internalisation Proposal is

approved by Unitholders, implementation of

the Internalisation Proposal will not occur.

+The Implementation Deed contemplates

that, in order to effect the Internalisation,

the parties will enter into and perform their

respective obligations under the following

documents:

— An Agreement for the Termination

of Management Rights and related

documentation providing for

the termination of GNZ’s role as

manager of GMT;

— A Share Sale and Purchase Agreement,

providing for the sale of the shares in

GPSNZ by Goodman Group to GMT

(which will direct that the shares be

transferred to the Shareholder);

— A Shareholding Deed governing the

terms on which the Shareholder will hold

the shares in GPSNZ;

Agreement and related documentation,

providing for the acquisition by GMT of

Goodman Group’s interests in certain

co-owned investment properties;

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202418

— $250 million (plus GST, if any) for the
surrender and termination of GNZ’s

— $14.7 million (plus GST, if any) in lieu

of any performance fee that may be

payable to GNZ for the period from

1 April 2023 until settlement of the

Internalisation under the terms of the

+The payments will constitute a complete

settlement of any present or future claims

that GNZ may have against the Assets of

GMT. However, GNZ will retain its current

rights under the Trust Deed to receive any

base fees accrued, re-imbursement of

expenses, and, as a former manager, the

right to be indemnified out of the Assets for

any claims arising in respect of the period

up to settlement of the Internalisation. The

indemnity does not extend to circumstances

where GNZ has acted fraudulently or

negligently. GNZ will also be released from

all liability in respect of GMT, other than for

liability that cannot be excluded at law and

any liability not known by the Supervisor as at

the date of settlement of the Internalisation.

+None of the Supervisor, or any Independent

Directors of GNZ are aware, to the best of

their knowledge, of the existence of any

actual material claims or potential material

claims against GNZ.

— A Subscription Agreement, documenting

the proposed issuance of new Units

to Goodman Funds Management

Limited, as responsible entity for GIT

through application of the proceeds to

be received by Goodman Group from

the Internalisation;

amendments to the Trust Deed arising

from the Internalisation approved by

the Supervisor;

for the provision of certain corporate

services by Goodman Group to GPSNZ

and GMT so that the business of GMT is

not disrupted by the Internalisation; and

GPSNZ a non-exclusive, non-transferable

licence to continue to use the “Goodman”

brand following settlement of the

Internalisation,

(together, the “Transaction Agreements”).

meet the requirements of the Act and in

accordance with its power to do so under

the Share Sale and Purchase Agreement,

on settlement of the Internalisation,

Goodman Limited (as a member of

(except in respect of procedural or

administrative matters) the shares in

with directions from Unitholders given

at a meeting of Unitholders (by way

of Extraordinary Resolution except

in respect of Ordinary Resolutions as

described below).

— The Shareholder will appoint and remove

all directors of GPSNZ, and approve any

change in the remuneration of directors,

solely in accordance with directions

from Unitholders given at a meeting

of Unitholders (by way of Ordinary

Resolution). Director nomination rights and

rotation provisions will be consistent with

applicable Listing Rule provisions.

— All dividends, profits, gains and benefits

received by the Shareholder in respect

of all of the shares in GPSNZ will be paid

to the Supervisor for the benefit of the

Unitholders. However, as GPSNZ will

operate on a “no profit” basis, profits are

not intended to be made and no dividends

are intended to be paid, by GPSNZ.

— The Shareholder has the right to be paid

an establishment fee of $2,500 plus

GST, and an annual fee of $15,000 per

annum (subject to an annual adjustment

letter, together with reimbursement

and indemnification in respect of its

expenses, costs and liabilities incurred

in acting as shareholder of GPSNZ by

GPSNZ (which will in turn be indemnified

out of the Assets). This remuneration may

be increased by agreement between the

Shareholder and GPSNZ.

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNALISATION

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202420

Over 90% of GMT’s core portfolio has been developed since 2004.

— The Shareholder is also entitled to be
indemnified by GPSNZ (which is in turn

indemnified out of the Assets) in respect

of any liability arising out of any action

taken in connection with its obligations.

— The Shareholder’s appointment will

terminate on the transfer of all of the

shares in GPSNZ to another shareholder

following a direction from Unitholders,

in accordance with the applicable

provisions of the Trust Deed. The

Shareholder may retire at any time by

giving 90 days’ written notice to GPSNZ

and any retirement will only take effect on

the appointment of a new shareholder of

GPSNZ. Any replacement shareholder

must be licenced or authorised to act

in such capacity in compliance with any

applicable laws, including under the Act,

the Assets, together with other consequential

amendments, including the reimbursement of

costs and expenses relating to the operation

of GMT (on a “no profit” basis).

+The amendments will be effected under

clause 27.1(d) of the Trust Deed on the basis

that the Supervisor is satisfied the changes,

which reflect the Internalisation required to

be approved by Unitholders, do not have a

material adverse effect on Unitholders.

+A consolidated copy of the Trust Deed

incorporating all the amendments that are

proposed pursuant to the Supplemental

Deed can be obtained from GNZ upon

request by a Unitholder at no charge and is

also available at https://nz.goodman.com/

of premises at 381-385 Neilson Street,

The leasehold estates constitute ground

leases (which are in turn subject to

occupational leases to third party tenants)

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202421

Ongoing support from Goodman Group
+For a period of up to 10 years following

settlement of the Internalisation (provided

that Goodman Group continues to hold at

least 10% of the Units in the GMT and that

it remains reasonably able to perform the

relevant activities), Goodman Group will

provide certain investment management,

information technology, insurance, human

resources, marketing, treasury and risk

services to GPSNZ and GMT pursuant to

the terms of the Co-operation and Services

Agreement. The services will be consistent

with practice in the 12 months immediately

prior to the settlement of the Internalisation

and otherwise consistent with the standards

for the same services provided by Goodman

Group to its regional businesses. GMT may

exercise an option to extend the term of the

arrangement for a further term of five years.

+The cost to GPSNZ and GMT for

these services is included in the overall

consideration payable to Goodman Group

in connection with the Internalisation.

Consequently, the ongoing cost to GPSNZ

and GMT is limited to any third party costs

incurred by Goodman Group on behalf of

GMT in connection with the services, which

will be passed through on a cost recovery

basis only. Goodman Group will not charge

any additional amounts or recover its direct

internal costs for the services, provided that

those costs do not increase materially or

unless any new cost or overhead is required

to be incurred. GPSNZ may require an

independent audit of costs. If internal costs

are charged by Goodman Group, the costs

would be funded out of the Assets or GMT

may decide to undertake the activity itself or

procure the service from a third party.

+GPSNZ may terminate the Co-operation

and Services Agreement on six months’

written notice at any time. If Goodman Group

decides to terminate the services once it

holds less than 10% of the Units in GMT, it

must give six months’ notice and GPSNZ is

entitled to reimbursement of a portion of the

payment for services it made on settlement

of the Internalisation based on the period

of the initial term remaining at the time the

agreement is terminated. Each party may

also terminate the arrangements described

above in other customary circumstances,

including in the event of serious or

unremedied breach.

+Goodman Group will also grant GPSNZ

and GMT a non-exclusive, non-transferable

licence to continue to use the “Goodman”

brand for so long as Goodman Group holds

at least 10% of the Units in GMT. The terms

of the licence are documented in the Brand

Licence Agreement. There will be no ongoing

fee payable for use of the Goodman brand

under the Brand Licence Agreement.

+In using the Goodman brand, GPSNZ and

GMT will be required to follow Goodman

Group brand guidelines and Goodman Group

may terminate the licence in customary

circumstances, including in the event of

serious or unremedied breach. There will be a

two-month transition period to cease using the

brand once GMT is no longer entitled to do so.

Highbrook Business Park adjoins the Tāmaki River and provides almost 500,000 sqm of high-quality warehouse and logistics space.

Management of GMT and the new manager
+On settlement of the Internalisation, GNZ will

cease to hold office as the manager of GMT,

and GPSNZ will become the manager of GMT.

+The current Directors of GNZ will be

appointed as the initial directors of

GPSNZ and, following settlement of the

Internalisation, all future appointments of

directors of GPSNZ, including non-executive

directors, will be made by the Shareholder

at the direction of Unitholders by Ordinary

Resolution. The Independent Directors are

satisfied that, on their appointment to the

board of GPSNZ, they will be independent

directors in terms of the Listing Rules.

+As referred to above, if the Internalisation is

approved by Unitholders, the Trust Deed will

be amended to (among other things) provide

for the reimbursement of directors’ fees

payable to the directors of GPSNZ from the

Assets in an amount equal to the directors’

fees currently paid to the Directors by GNZ.

+The aggregate amount presently payable

to directors by GNZ is approximately

$550,000 plus GST (if any) per annum.

This is divided as follows:

— David Gibson, as Independent Director

and Deputy Chair, is paid a director fee of

$150,000 per annum (plus GST, if any).

— Laurissa Cooney, as Independent

Director and chair of GNZ’s Audit

Committee, is paid a director fee of

$125,000 per annum (plus GST, if any).

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNALISATION

— continued

— Each of Keith Smith and Leonie Freeman

is paid a director fee of $100,000 per

annum (plus GST, if any).

— There is a discretionary pool of $75,000

from which Independent Directors are

paid $500 per hour for time spent in

relation any ad-hoc committees, such

as a due diligence committee or the

committee convened to consider the

Internalisation Proposal.

+Neither Gregory Goodman (as a Director)

nor John Dakin (as Chair) receive any

remuneration by way of directors’ fees from

GNZ. They are instead remunerated by way

of salary paid by Goodman Group for their

executive roles.

+If the Internalisation is approved, the directors

of GNZ will act as Directors of the new

manager, GPSNZ, and will receive equivalent

remuneration.

+Any increase in the amount of Directors’

fees would require Unitholder approval by an

Ordinary Resolution under Listing Rule 2.11.

+If the Internalisation is approved, an additional

board committee, being a Remuneration

Committee, will be constituted as a standing

committee of the board of GPSNZ. This

function is currently not required by GNZ, as

GNZ matters are governed within the remit of

the equivalent Goodman Group committee.

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202423

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNALISATION
— continued

+Notwithstanding that, following approval

by Unitholders and settlement of the

Internalisation, each Director would, in their

capacity as a director of GPSNZ, be subject

to a three year term under the Listing Rules,

the Independent Directors (in their capacity

as directors of GPSNZ) will continue to be

subject to the existing GNZ director rotation

calendar. Gregory Goodman and John Dakin,

as non-executive directors, will be subject

to re-election in 2025. A summary of these

arrangements is set out in the table alongside.

+None of GPSNZ or any of its directors

have been adjudged bankrupt or insolvent,

convicted of any crime involving dishonesty,

prohibited from acting as a director

of a company, or placed in statutory

management, voluntary administration,

liquidation or receivership.

Other consequences of Internalisation

+In practical terms, the management structure

of GMT is not expected to change following

settlement of the Internalisation as the existing

executives and other personnel of GMT,

who are already employed by GPSNZ, are

expected to continue in their current roles.

+Unitholder interests will not change. Other

than pursuant to the placement of new Units

to Goodman Funds Management Limited, as

responsible entity for GIT described above,

no new Units will be issued, and no Units will

be cancelled, as a result of the Internalisation.

+The non-recurring transaction costs

(including the Independent Appraiser’s

fee, share registry expenses, legal fees,

accounting and tax advice fees, financial

adviser fees, printing costs and postage costs)

related to evaluating and putting forward

the Internalisation Proposal to Unitholders

are estimated to amount to an aggregate of

approximately $7.4 million, assuming the

Internalisation proceeds. These costs have

been taken into account in the Independent

Appraisal Report. Under the Trust Deed, such

costs will be met out of the Assets.

in acting as shareholder of GPSNZ by GPSNZ

(which is in turn indemnified for those amounts

out of the Assets).

FURTHER INFORMATION ABOUT THE INTERNALISATION

+The nature of the services or expenses and

whether or not the amount of remuneration

or expenses is limited and, if so, the limits

are set out below in respect of each of the

Supervisor, GPSNZ, its directors and the

Shareholder:

— The Supervisor’s role is to supervise the

administration and management of GMT

in accordance with the Trust Deed, and

to monitor GPSNZ’s compliance with

its duties and responsibilities under the

Trust Deed. For undertaking its duties,

the Supervisor is entitled to be paid

fees for its services out of the Assets, as

agreed in writing between the Supervisor

and GPSNZ. In addition, the Supervisor

is entitled to be reimbursed and

indemnified in accordance with the Trust

Deed in respect of its costs, charges and

expenses incurred in acting as supervisor

of GMT. There is no limit on the amount

of reimbursement of costs which may be

provided to the Supervisor.

— GPSNZ, as manager of GMT, will have

responsibility for management of GMT in

accordance with the Trust Deed. GPSNZ

will not be entitled to any fee in the

nature of remuneration for its services,

but will be entitled to be reimbursed

and indemnified in accordance with

the Trust Deed in respect of its costs,

charges and expenses incurred in acting

as manager of GMT, including to enable

GPSNZ to carry on business and to pay

any amounts payable to the Shareholder

for its services as shareholder of

GPSNZ. There is no limit on the amount

of reimbursement of costs which may

be provided to GPSNZ in accordance

with the Trust Deed. However, under the

Trust Deed, GPSNZ will be obliged to

use its reasonable endeavours to ensure

that the operation of GMT is carried on

and conducted in a proper and efficient

manner and that the Assets are properly

managed and supervised. In accordance

with the terms of the Trust Deed, GPSNZ

will be obliged to refund amounts

received or account for profits to the

extent it holds money that is surplus to its

requirements to operate its business.

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202425

— The directors of GPSNZ will be entitled
to directors’ fees in respect of their

acting as directors of GPSNZ, and to the

reimbursement of expenses incurred in

connection with their performance of that

role. These fees will be equivalent to the

and not GMT). Any increase in those

directors’ fees is required to be approved

by Unitholders by Ordinary Resolution in

accordance with the Listing Rules.

— The Shareholder will hold the shares in

GPSNZ for the benefit of the Unitholders.

The Shareholder is to act on the direction

the Shareholder will pay all profits, gains

and benefits received by it in respect

of its holding of the shares in excess of

amounts payable as remuneration or

reimbursement, as described above,

to the Supervisor for the benefit

+The Supervisor and GPSNZ will each have

a material interest in the Trust Deed, being

a contract entered into in respect of GMT

that is material to both the Supervisor and

GPSNZ. The Supervisor and GPSNZ will each

be parties to the Trust Deed, which governs

the operation and management of GMT.

+GPSNZ will have a material interest in the

Shareholding Deed, which will record the

terms for the holding by the Shareholder of

the shares in GPSNZ and will be a contract

entered into in respect of GMT that is

material to GPSNZ.

Following its review and consideration

Supervisor has agreed to give effect to the

Internalisation Proposal as proposed by

the Transaction Agreements if resolutions

1, 2 and 3 are approved by the requisite

majority of Unitholders at the Meeting.

2.0 Executive Summary

2.1 Introduction

Goodman Property Trust (GMT or the Tr u s t) is a unit trust investing in real estate, listed on the

New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX). The day-to-day operations of the Trust are managed through

Goodman (NZ) Limited (GNZ or the Manager), a wholly owned subsidiary of Goodman Limited (GL),

which is one of three stapled entities that make up ASX listed Goodman Group (GMG). Goodman

Property Services (NZ) Limited (GPSNZ), a wholly owned subsidiary of GL, holds all employment

contracts. It acts as property manager for properties owned and co-owned by GMT and provides

investment management services to GNZ.

The Trust’s assets are held on behalf of GMT unitholders (the Unitholders) by Covenant Trustee

Services Limited (the Tr u s t e e). The Trustee is responsible for ensuring that the operations of GMT

are managed in accordance with the terms of the Unit Trust Deed as amended and restated on

28 May 2020 (the Trust Deed).

An Independent Board Committee (IBC) comprising the Independent Directors was established to

consider and negotiate with GMG the potential internalisation of the Management Rights on behalf of

the Unitholders (the Proposed Internalisation).

As part of the process, the IBC have appointed Deloitte to prepare an Independent Appraisal Report

(IAR) for the benefit of the Unitholders. The purpose of the IAR is to assist the Unitholders’ decision on

whether to approve the Proposed Internalisation. Deloitte has also been asked to provide our opinion

as to the fairness of the issue of units to Goodman Funds Management Limited (GFML), as responsible

entity for Goodman Industrial Trust (GIT), which is required to utilise the total proceeds received by GMG

to subscribe for new units in GMT as part of settling the Proposed Internalisation.

2.2 Proposed Internalisation

The Proposed Internalisation will result in cost savings for the Trust going forward, being the difference

between the fees and expenses paid to GNZ and GPSNZ under the current arrangements and the

underlying cost of performing the management functions (i.e. the Trust will essentially save the profits

otherwise earned by GNZ and GPSNZ).

As consideration for foregoing these future profits, the IBC have negotiated with GMG a proposal

whereby GMT would acquire GPSNZ and effectively internalise the management function performed

by GNZ by making total payments of $290.0 million to GMG or its subsidiaries, comprising:

i. termination payments of totalling $272.4 million for the relinquishment of GNZ’s Management Rights.

This includes consideration for various services and co-operation arrangements from GMG;

ii. payments totalling $2.9 million to acquire GMG’s interest in co-owned New Zealand investment

properties and the net tangible assets of GPSNZ; and

iii. a payment of $14.7 million for the FY24 performance fee, which is the maximum payable for FY24

and is in full and final settlement of any performance fee obligations under the Trust Deed.

Looking through the various flows of funds, the Trust will ultimately settle these payments in cash to be

used by GIT to subscribe for GMT Units. The issue price of $2.14 has been determined on the basis on the

higher of the net tangible assets (N TA) per Unit (taking account of preliminary 31 March 2024 valuations

of GMT’s properties) and the 5-day volume weighted average price (V WAP) ending on 20 February 2024.

A significant portion of the termination payment is expected to be tax deductible to the Trust. When

the expected benefit of tax deductibility is considered, the net payment for the relinquishment of the

Management Rights is $199.3 million.

2.3 Regulatory Requirements

The nature of the relationship between GMT and GNZ means the Proposed Internalisation may

constitute a ‘material transaction with a related party’ under the NZX Listing Rules (the Listing Rules).

Under Rule 5.2.1 of the Listing Rules, and using the terms defined therein, GMT must not enter a material

transaction with a related party unless that transaction is approved at a meeting of Unitholders by an

Ordinary Resolution.

Listing Rule 7.8.8 (b) requires that a notice of meeting to consider the Ordinary Resolution for the

purposes of Rule 5.2.1 must be accompanied by an IAR, prepared by an independent appropriately

qualified person previously approved by the NZX.

Under Listing Rule 7.10.2, the IAR must be addressed to the Independent Directors of GNZ and

expressed for the benefit of the Unitholders of GMT who are not associated with the related parties.

In addition to the IAR potentially being required for the purposes of Listing Rules 5.2.1 and 7.8.8(b), the

IAR needs to be provided for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.8.5(b) (issue of securities to an Associated

Person of a Director). This is because Greg Goodman (as a director of GNZ) is both a “Director” for the

purposes of the Listing Rules and a director of GFML. This means that GFML, as the responsible entity

of GIT (and subscriber for Units), is an Associated Person of a Director.

Accordingly, the IBC have requested Deloitte prepare an IAR stating whether the consideration and

the terms and conditions of the Proposed Internalisation are fair to the Unitholders not associated with

GMG pursuant to Listing Rule 7.10.2 as well as whether the issue of Units to GIT is fair to Unitholders

not associated with GIT pursuant to Listing Rule 7.8.5(b) (the Non-associated Unitholders).

Deloitte has been approved by NZX Regulation Limited to prepare the IAR.

2.4 Purpose of this Report

Deloitte issues this IAR to the Independent Directors to assist and for the benefit of the Non-associated

Unitholders in forming their own opinion on whether to vote in favour of or against the resolutions relating

to the Proposed Internalisation.

We note that each Unitholder’s circumstances and objectives are unique. It is not possible to report on

the fairness of the Proposed Internalisation in relation to each Unitholder. This IAR is therefore necessarily

general in nature.

Voting for or against the resolutions in respect of the Proposed Internalisation is a matter for individual

Unitholders based on their own views of the proposal. Unitholders should consult their own professional

advisors if appropriate.

This IAR is not to be used for any other purpose without Deloitte’s prior written consent.

2.5 Basis of Assessment and Evaluation

Listing Rule 7.10.2 requires the IAR to consider the “fairness” of a transaction or proposal. The term “fair”

has no legal definition in New Zealand either in the Listing Rules or in any statute dealing with securities or

commercial law. Furthermore, overseas regulations provide minimal guidance in respect of how fairness

should be determined in the context of a material transaction with a related party.

For the purpose of this IAR, we have assessed the fairness of the Proposed Internalisation by considering:

+the fair market value of the Management Rights;

+the value of the Proposed Internalisation to the Trust; and

+other financial and non-financial impacts of the Proposed Internalisation.

2.6 Our conclusion

In Deloitte’s opinion the Proposed Internalisation is fair to the Unitholders not associated

with Goodman Group.

The basis for our opinion is set out in more detail in Sections 7– 9 of this report. In summary, the key

factors we have considered in forming our opinion are:

+taking into account risk factors that are faced by external owners of property fund management

rights, we assess the fair market value of the Management Rights to be in the range of $268 million to

$315 million. The proposed net termination payment of $272.4 million is within Deloitte’s fair market

valuation range, and is therefore fair to Unitholders (i.e. Unitholders are not paying more than third

party buyers would be expected to pay);

+we assess the value of the Proposed Internalisation to the Trust (i.e. the discounted present value

of the forecast future cash savings) to be in the vicinity of $390 million to $432 million, on a post-

tax basis. This value is only available to the Trust. It does not reflect the fair market value of the

Management Rights as it does not incorporate all of the risk factors mentioned above;

+the expected after-tax cost of the termination payment ($199.3 million) is materially lower than the

value of the Proposed Internalisation to the Trust ($390 million to $432 million);

+in subsequent years, the Proposed Internalisation should improve GMT’s cash operating earnings

and allow for increased distributions;

+other (non-financial) benefits for Unitholders if the Proposed Internalisation proceeds include that it:

i. removes the potential for conflicts of interest between the Manager and the Unitholders;

ii. provides greater control over the management of the Trust;

iii. allows opportunities to grow earnings through activities such as funds management/

diversification of income streams;

iv. removes a possible impediment to corporate takeover or merger activity/allows for future

corporatisation;

v. removes the risks associated with GMG selling the Management Rights to a third party; and

vi. allows Unitholders to vote on all director appointments, not only Independent Directors.

+there are no negative impacts on the rights of or protections available to Unitholders as a result of the

Proposed Internalisation (whilst it will result in GMG owning more Units in GMT, GMG will not own a

controlling stake).

In Deloitte’s opinion the proposed issuance of units to GIT is fair to Unitholders not associated

with GIT.

The proposed issuance of units to GFML, as responsible entity for GIT, is fair to Unitholders not

associated with GIT. In forming this opinion, we have considered that:

+issue price for the Units is the 5-day VWAP ending on 20 February 2024. Assuming an efficient

market and no material Unit price movements prior to announcement, this price should represent fair

market value, and large but non-controlling placements of Units (for example in a capital raise) are

commonly issued at a discount to fair market value (broadly 3% to 5% based on our experience);

+GMT’s Unit price is currently around its NTA per Unit. On average, over the last three years, GMT

has traded at broadly 1.0x NTA (refer to Section 4.3). The issue price is higher than NTA per Unit

based on preliminary 31 March 2024 valuations, and therefore a higher price than Unitholders might

achieve if GMT’s properties were sold out of the Trust;

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202439

SCHEDULE 3
INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL REPORT

— continued

+at the current marginal cost of debt, the proposed issuance is preferable to funding the Proposed

Internalisation with debt given the impact on earnings (cash operating earnings per unit and AFFO per

unit would be lower if the Proposed Internalisation were debt funded). This is covered in more detail

in Section 8.1. There is also currently less appetite to fund future growth/development through debt

funding and credit markets are difficult to navigate;

+GMT’s last reported gearing of 29% was at the upper end of its preferred range of 20 – 30%.

The proposed issuance will not increase GMT’s gearing;

+when considered in conjunction with the cost savings from the Proposed Internalisation, the

dilutionary impact of the proposed issuance is offset by increased cash operating earnings.

GMT’s distributions (which are set based on a target of 80% - 90% of cash operating earnings,

and currently towards the lower end of the target) should not be impacted. This is covered in more

detail in Section 8.1;

+when considered in conjunction with the cost savings from the Proposed Internalisation, the

dilutionary impact of the proposed issuance is more than offset by increased AFFO earnings. This is

covered in more detail in Section 8.1;

+the transaction terms of the Proposed Internalisation include a co-operation and services

agreement, under which GMT’s management has ongoing access to GMG’s sector expertise and

various relationships (e.g. with capital partners, lenders, etc) at no ongoing cost. As the proposed

issuance results in GMG having more Units, GMG should be more invested in GMT’s success;

+there are no negative impacts on the trading liquidity of the Units as a result of the proposed issuance

(GMT is proposing to issue new Units, rather than GMG purchasing and effectively ‘locking up’

existing Units); and

+there are no negative impacts on the rights of or protections available to Unitholders as a result of

the proposed issuance (whilst it will result in GMG owning more Units in GMT, GMG will not own a

controlling stake).

2 .7 Declaration

Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.10.2 and Listing Rule 7.8.5(b), we state that:

i. In our opinion, the consideration and the terms and conditions of the Proposed Internalisation

and proposed issuance are fair to Unitholders of GMT other than those associated with GMG.

The grounds for this opinion are set out in this report.

ii. We believe that the Unitholders entitled to vote on the resolution in relation to the Proposed

Internalisation will be provided with sufficient information to understand all relevant factors and on

which to make an informed decision.

iii. We confirm that we have been provided with all the information that we believe is needed for the

purposes of preparing this report.

iv. The material assumptions on which our opinion has been based are clearly set out in the body of

this report.

3.0 Overview of the Property Fund Sector

3.1 Industry Overview

Listed property vehicles (LPVs) are professionally managed real estate investment vehicles that

allow investors to purchase an equity interest in a portfolio of properties. Currently there are ten NZX

listed LPVs, including GMT, with a range of different property category focuses, corporate structures

and management arrangements (i.e. internally or externally managed). There are also two additional

New Zealand real estate funds, being New Zealand Rural Land Company and Winton Land Limited,

which we do not believe are sufficiently comparable to GMT for purposes of this report.

LPVs provide an opportunity for investors to hold stakes in investment-grade property portfolios, with

professionals maintaining and improving the buildings, retaining tenants and actively managing the

property portfolio and capital structure to maximise risk-adjusted returns.

An investment in an LPV is different to a direct investment in property. The LPV investor has an interest

in a diverse portfolio of properties, as opposed to a single property, and the units or shares can be traded

on the NZX Main Board and therefore have greater liquidity.

Investors evaluate LPVs by reference to the level of cash distributions and movements in share prices,

and by assessing the security of the LPV’s income stream, the quality of the fund’s properties and

tenants, the length of tenant leases, rental yields, appropriateness of the capital structure, the quality of

the management, and the management arrangements (internal or external; fee structures; etc).

The table below provides a summary of entities operating in the New Zealand listed property sector by

their size and sector focus. It shows that majority of the LPVs are internally managed.

3.2 Key Metrics

The table below describes the main measuring criteria for each LPV, which include portfolio size,

weighted average lease term (W A LT), market price relative to NTA, and gearing levels. The mentioned

criteria are critical for both property investors and managers. Typically, managers aim to increase

occupancy, extend the WALT period and maintain a smooth lease expiry profile while simultaneously

enhancing equity returns by using an appropriate level of gearing.

We have excluded CDL Investments New Zealand Limited from our analysis as we consider this to be less

comparable to GMT, and CDL does not disclose a number of the key industry metrics. GMT metrics are

as reported at 30 September 2023.

3.3 Scale

The table above provides information on the size of the New Zealand LPVs’ property portfolios. Greater

scale typically provides an entity with advantages such as greater diversity of earnings, a stronger capital

base to fund developments, and better share liquidity and access to capital. GMT is New Zealand’s

largest LPV in terms of portfolio value and market capitalisation.

3.4 Property Mix

The properties owned by LPVs are often classified into four categories: office, industrial, retail, and other

(such as specialist healthcare properties).

Some LPVs have a primary focus on one property category, for example GMT (Industrial), Precinct

Properties (Office), and Property for Industry (Industrial). Others are diversified across a combination of

categories, albeit different combinations and relative focuses.

3.5 WALT and Lease Expiry

One of the key factors that managers of property entities focus on is their portfolio’s lease profile.

Generally, they seek to extend the WALT of the portfolio and smooth the lease expiry profile.

3.6 Gearing

Maintenance of appropriate debt levels and financial risk management policies are key areas of focus for

property entities. Gearing (debt to total assets) of 30% to 40% has become common in the LPV sector.

GMT’s gearing as at 30 September 2023 was 29%.

3 .7 Property Management Structures

There are two types of management structures for New Zealand LPVs: internal and external

management. Internally managed entities undertake the management functions in-house. Externally

managed entities generally have no staff and appoint a third party to undertake the management of the

LPV and its property assets in return for fund and property management fees. The Unit Trusts Act (now

repealed) requirement for a trust to have a manager that is separate the trustee meant that historically

it was common for property trusts to be externally managed. The few LPVs that were initially listed as

companies were often established with external management. However, there has been a trend towards

internalisation in New Zealand, and most New Zealand LPVs are now internally managed.

3.8 External Management Fees

The following table summarises the fund management fee structures of New Zealand’s externally

managed property funds. All entities incorporate a base fee and performance fee into their fee structure.

It can be difficult to compare fees between entities due to various other charges that may be added on

top of the fee structure for time in attendance matters and property management services.

Precinct Properties Limited became internally managed as of 1 April 2021. The fee structure presented reflects the fee

structure under external management prior to this date.

Base fees

Base fund management fees compensate the manager for the costs of managing the entity (i.e. the

corporate functions of an LPV, setting fund strategy, capital structure and financing, etc. but not

property-specific management costs). In the table above, all base fees are determined as a percentage

of the value of total assets or investment properties, with some minor differences such as GMT’s removal

of cash and debtor balances and land.

There are benefits of scale with LPVs (greater diversity of properties and tenants lowers risk; greater

liquidity in security trading; etc.). There are also economies of scale for the fund manager. Therefore, both

investors and the manager benefit when an LPV achieves sufficient scale. Linking the base fees to total

asset values incentivises the manager to achieve this scale.

However, once adequate scale is achieved, it has been argued that the base fees can unduly incentivise

managers to grow the asset base further, whether or not the transactions create value for investors. To

partially address this issue funds have generally adopted lower or tiered base fee structures and added

a performance fee component, as shown in the table above. This better aligns the interests of investors

and the managers.

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202443

SCHEDULE 3
INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL REPORT

— continued

Performance fees

Performance fees are generally based on equity holder returns relative to the performance of the LPV

sector, or absolute shareholder returns (e.g. 10% of total equity holder returns between a set range,

frequently 10% of returns between 10%–15%). Fees that are set relative to the sector index mean a

manager needs to outperform the sector to receive a performance fee but can still receive a performance

fee if sector returns are low in absolute terms.

Performance fees have varying carry forward periods that are designed to mitigate the effects of

property market cycles, and reward managers for sustained performance of the fund, but not unduly

penalise them for long market downturns. Most funds have a carry forward period of two years, noting

that GMT is an exception to this with an indefinite carry forward.

Property management and other fees

Managers may charge further fees for a range of property management and other services, including:

+Property and facilities management (normally recoverable from tenants);

+Leasing fees;

+Rent review fees;

+Acquisition and sale fees;

+Development fees; and

+Project management fees.

These additional fees make it difficult to compare the total fees paid to managers. Some additional

services are charged at above market rates, some below market rates, and some LPV managers do

not charge over and above base / performance fees for additional services.

4.0 Overview of GMT

4.1 Background

GMT is an industrial property specialist that operates in the warehouse and logistics space in

New Zealand. GMT has a $4.7b portfolio (as at September 2023) that includes logistics and distribution

centres, warehouses, business parks and data centres.

GMT is an externally managed unit trust listed on the NZX. The Manager of the Trust is GNZ, a subsidiary

of the ASX listed GMG, a specialist global manager of warehouse and logistics real estate and the largest

unitholder of GMT through its investment subsidiaries.

4.2 Portfolio

GMT divides its portfolio of stabilised (developed) investment property into $3.77 billion of ‘core’ estates

(which largely consist of modern, high-quality logistics and industrial properties), and $0.64 billion of

‘value-add’ estates (which generally consist of older properties with redevelopment potential), for a total

value of the stabilised investment property of $4.40 billion.

GMT also has investment property currently under development, which is valued at $0.28 billion, which

consists of both land and ongoing developments. In total, this equates to a total investment property

portfolio value of $4.69 billion. Total investment portfolio includes land and active developments. All

values are as at September 2023.

expenses and tax) increased from $114.9 million in FY21 to $126.5 million in FY23, largely driven by an

increase in net property income. Interest cost increased in FY23 (and in the first 6 months of FY24) due

to the higher interest rate environment in New Zealand and abroad.

The recent decrease in net profit before tax attributable to Unitholders was driven by the movement

in fair value of investment properties; there was a significant increase in fair value in FY21 and FY22

5.0 Overview of the Manager

5.1 Background

The Trust’s manager is GNZ, and property management functions are undertaken by employees of

GPSNZ. GPSNZ seconds officers to GNZ to assist directors of GNZ with fund management functions.

Both entities are wholly owned subsidiaries of GL. GL’s shares are stapled to units in GIT and CHESS

Depositary Interests (CDIs) over shares in Goodman Logistics (HK) Limited (GLHK). The shares in

GL, units in GIT and CDIs over ordinary shares in GLHK are quoted as a single security on the ASX as

Goodman Group stapled securities.

5.2 Role of the Manager

GMT is managed by GNZ under the terms of the Trust Deed. The Manager’s responsibilities include:

a) strategic direction of the Trust;

b) portfolio management of the Trust’s assets;

c) property selection and review;

d) negotiation, acquisition and disposal of assets;

e) treasury and funding management;

f) ensuring adherence to financial reporting requirements; and

g) liaising with Unitholders in accordance with the Trust Deed.

GMT pays fees to the Manager for the services it provides. The fees have been previously approved

by Unitholders and are periodically reviewed by the Independent Directors through an industry

benchmarking exercise undertaken by external consultants. Fees paid to the Manager are set out in the

section below.

5.3 Fund Management Fees

The fund management fees comprise a base fee calculated as a percentage of the total assets under

management, and a performance fee based on Unitholder returns.

Base Fund Fee

The Manager’s base fee is calculated as 0.5% per annum of the book value of GMT’s assets (other than

cash, debtors and development land) up to $500 million, plus 0.4% per annum of the book value of

GMT’s assets (other than cash, debtors and development land) greater than $500 million.

Performance Fee

The performance fee is determined by reference to the Trust’s Unit performance (including gross

distributions and movements in the Unit price) relative to a benchmark return that includes the Trust’s

NZX listed peers.

The performance fee is calculated as 10% of the amount by which Unitholders’ returns exceed the

benchmark return up to a cap. The cap is set at 5% more than the benchmark return.

The performance fee and change in carry forward balance is calculated annually as at 31 March and the

carry forward balance can be positive or negative. The carry forward is indefinite, and any performance

fee paid must be used by the Manager to subscribe for new Units in the Trust, if requested by the

Independent Directors, which has historically been the case.

5.4 Property Management and Development Fees

GPSNZ acts as the property manager for properties owned and co-owned by GMT with GMG. Property

Management Fees are paid to GPSNZ as follows:

Property Management

Property management fees are paid to GPSNZ for day-to-day management of properties.

Leasing Fees

Leasing fees are paid to GPSNZ for executing leasing transactions.

Acquisitions and Disposals

Acquisition and disposal fees are paid to GPSNZ for executing sale and purchase agreements.

Minor Project Fees

Minor project fees are paid for services provided to manage capital expenditure projects for stabilised

properties.

Development Management

Development management fees are paid for services provided to manage capital expenditure projects

for developments.

Reimbursement of expenses for services provided

Certain services are provided by GPSNZ instead of using external providers, with these amounts

reimbursed on a cost recovery basis.

Gross lease receipts

Rent is received by GMT for the office leased by GPSNZ at Highbrook Business Park.

5.5 Term of the Management Rights

Under the Trust Deed there is no defined term for GNZ’s appointment as fund manager. The ability

to remove the Manager from office by Unitholder resolution is a requirement of the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013 (which has effectively subsumed Section 18 of the Unit Trusts Act 1960) and is a

standard feature of unit trust structures. Unitholders have the right to direct that the Manager should

cease to hold office by passing a resolution under Section 185 of the Financial Markets Conduct

Ac t 2013.

In addition, the Trustee has the ability to remove the Manager and the Manager has the ability to resign in

accordance with the provisions of the Trust Deed.

In the event of removal by way of a Section 185 resolution, the Manager is entitled to all fees accrued

prior to the date of termination, a proportion of the Base Fee instalment accrued or payable for the month

in which the date of termination or cessation occurs, and an amount equal to the performance fee that

would be payable for the period between the expiry of the prior financial year and the date of termination

calculated as if that period was a financial year and with any net balance (performance fee carry-forward

balance) applied without restriction by threshold or cap.

5.6 Manager Financials

The tables below show the financial performance and financial position of GNZ and GPSNZ for the

years ended 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2023.

In preparing the aggregated financial performance, we have adjusted to remove the management fee

paid from GNZ to GPSNZ, which records the corresponding entry as management fee income. The

related party management fee transactions were $14.0 million and $11.2 million in FY23 and FY22,

respectively. We have also adjusted FY22 for performance fee expense of $12.6 million paid by GNZ

to GPSNZ.

Source: Companies Office Annual Reports

The aggregated financial performance above does not accurately reflect a normalised operating profit of

the Manager going forward.

For example:

+the FY22 results included a one-off discretionary $10.0 million payment made from GPSNZ to GMG

for investment advice, which is included in administrative and other expenses. If we were to add this

expense back, the net operating income would be $22.7 million in FY22.

+In FY23, the Manager did not earn any performance fee. The accounting standard for long term

incentive plans (LT I P) generally requires that long-term incentive plans be valued on their grant

date and amortised/expensed over the period to the vesting date, and therefore an LTIP expense

of $14.5 million was recorded in FY23. On a normalised basis, we consider that in a year where

performance fees are not earned, management would not be paid a bonus. Adding back the FY23

LTIP expense would result in FY23 net operating income of $19.1 million. An alternative adjustment

would be to add in a notional performance fee in FY23.

The average normalised net operating income from FY22 and FY23 of $20.9 million is more aligned with

the normalised cost savings figures presented later in the report.

As discussed in Section 6, the Proposed Internalisation does not involve the acquisition of GNZ.

We understand that the financial position of GPSNZ as at 30 June 2022 and 30 June 2023 does not

represent the net assets which will be acquired and therefore have not included the GNZ and GPSNZ

aggregated financial position.

6.0 Proposed Internalisation

6.1 Proposed Internalisation

The Proposed Internalisation involves the following elements:

+the termination of GNZ’s Management Rights;

+the acquisition by GMT of the shares in GPSNZ;

+the acquisition by GMT of any remaining directly owned New Zealand property interests from GMG;

+net payments by the Trust totalling $290.0 million to GMG, comprising the termination of the

Management Rights ($272.4 million), payment of the 2024 performance fee ($14.7 million),

acquisition of the assets used in the GNZ and GPSNZ businesses and acquisition of the GMG’s

directly owned New Zealand Property Interests ($2.9 million); and

+the entry into a co-operation and services agreement between GMT and GMG to provide various

services.

The Proposed Internalisation is only conditional upon Unitholder approval and bank financier consents;

all other approvals have been obtained.

The financial and other impacts of the Proposed Internalisation are considered in more detail in Section 8

of this report.

6.2 Alternatives to Internalisation

In the Proposed Internalisation, the current management team will remain in place and GPSNZ will

operate on a breakeven basis, rather than the Trust paying fees to externally owned management

companies. In essence, the profits currently earned by GNZ and GPSNZ would be retained by the Trust.

Before considering the value of this change, and therefore the fairness of the proposed termination

payment, it is important to consider what alternatives exist for the parties involved. If the Proposed

Internalisation does not proceed, there are the following alternative outcomes for GMT:

Maintenance of Status Quo

If the Proposed Internalisation did not proceed, then the status quo could prevail. In this situation GNZ

and GPSNZ would continue to manage the Trust under the existing Trust Deed. The Trust would continue

to operate under this external management structure and the benefits of the Proposed Internalisation

would be foregone. The Proposed Internalisation may be a one-time opportunity and GMG may decide to

retain the Management Rights indefinitely.

Sale of Management Rights to Unknown Third Party

If the Proposed Internalisation did not proceed, GNZ (and consequently the Management Rights) and

GPSNZ could be sold by GMG to a third party. If this were the case, the drawbacks associated with

external management would remain, including higher costs and lack of control over the Trust’s direction.

If employees of GPSNZ did not continue in employment following that sale there could be a loss of

continuity of knowledge. Unitholders would not have any control over who the rights were sold to and

would face uncertainty regarding the future performance of the manager.

Under this scenario, it would be highly unlikely that GMT would have the opportunity to reconsider

internalisation for the foreseeable future at a value close to the Proposed Internalisation payment,

as the new manager would have a strong financial incentive to recover the full value paid for the

Management Rights.

SCHEDULE 3
INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL REPORT

Removal of the Manager

As discussed in Section 5.5, there are certain mechanisms in place by which the Manager could be

removed.

Unitholders voting to remove the Manager

Under Section 185 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, a meeting of Unitholders could be called

to propose a vote to remove the Manager. If 75% of the votes were in favour of a resolution to remove

the Manager, the Manager would be required to immediately desist from all Trust activities and appoint a

temporary manager. Unitholders would not have to establish a cause, such as poor performance by the

Manager, as a pre-condition to voting to remove the Manager.

In GNZ’s case this is exceedingly unlikely.

Such a vote would be unusual and controversial. We are not aware of any material investor concerns

regarding the performance of the Manager, or Unitholder pressure to remove GNZ.

More critically, GNZ is highly entrenched due to Goodman Investment Holdings (NZ) Limited and GIT

holding 19.8% and 5.4% of the Units, respectively, for a total of 25.2% of the Units. As such, GMG has

a blocking stake preventing any such proposal from being passed with the necessary 75% majority.

GMG is entitled to vote on removal of the Manager under Section 185 of the Financial Markets Conduct

Ac t 2013.

A removal of the Manager under Section 185 would be disruptive for the Trust. There would be a material

risk that existing staff, knowledge, systems, and relationships would be lost. It would be a large task for

a temporary manager to pick up the day-to-day activities in a short time frame, including setting up

systems, hiring staff, and preparing reports and obtaining a licence from the Financial Markets Authority.

Removing the Manager would also involve considerable expense. The Trust would be required to pay

termination fees (if there was a performance fee carry forward at the time of termination, which would be

paid without any cap). There would also be costs associated with appointing a temporary manager, costs

in relation to the business disruption, and legal fees.

Another aspect to consider is whether GPSNZ would continue as the property manager under existing

property management agreements (other than if GPSNZ is in material breach of the agreements).

A removal of the Manager would not necessarily trigger any right to terminate property management

agreements.

Trustee or High Court removes the Manager

In addition, the Trustee and High Court have the ability to remove the Manager.

In either case, the Trustee or High Court must have cause to do so (e.g. breach of duties by GNZ or failure

to carry out responsibilities). Most of the observations regarding a Unitholder vote to remove the Manager

also apply here: it would be rare, controversial, disruptive, involve significant expense, and potentially still

leave GPSNZ in place as property manager.

Unitholder pressure over time to reduce fees

Over time the Unitholders could put pressure on the Manager to reduce the fees charged to the Trust.

There was a wave of such fee reductions in the Australasian LPV sector many years ago, and given GMT’s

scale, fee structure, and the profitability of the Manager, Unitholders might consider it appropriate to push

for a lower fee structure.

With GMG already having a blocking stake preventing removal of the Manager, Unitholders might not

have significant negotiating leverage in this regard. However, the fees are periodically reviewed by the

Independent Directors, and if there were wide-spread fee reductions across the sector it is likely that the

Independent Directors would follow suit.

7.0 Value of the Management Rights

7. 1 Introduction and Methodology

The appropriate valuation methodology for an asset is determined by a number of factors, including the

nature of the asset and the expectations regarding future performance. The two primary approaches

usually adopted in the valuation of larger assets and companies are summarised below:

+Market Approach: This method determines value by applying a valuation multiple to an assessed

level of maintainable earnings (or cash flows), where the multiple is chosen to reflect the risk

associated with the future performance of the asset. Depending on the nature of the business,

multiples can be applied to earnings measured at various levels often including revenue, EBITDA,

EBIT or NPAT.

+Income Approach: A discounted cash flow (DCF) approach is based on an explicit forecast of the

cash flows that will be generated over a specified forecast period. The value of cash flows that may

occur after the end of the explicit forecast period is incorporated into the valuation process by

capitalising an estimate of maintainable cash flows for the terminal period. A DCF model is therefore

usually made up of two components:

i. The present value of the projected cash flows during the forecast period; and

ii. The present value of all other cash flows projected to occur after the explicit forecast period.

This component is commonly referred to as the terminal value.

Deloitte has considered the value of the Management Rights from two perspectives:

1. The fair market value of the Management Rights, being the likely price achievable by GMG in an

arms-length sale to a third party (or in an internalisation); and

2. The value of the Management Rights to the Trust (i.e. the value of the Proposed Internalisation to

the Trust).

Fair Market Value of the Management Rights

To estimate the fair market value of the Management Rights, which incorporates the risk factors outlined

in Section 6.2, we primarily relied on the market approach, using multiples informed by other comparable

transactions. These transaction multiples implicitly capture, to varying degrees, risks such as:

+Unitholders or the Trustee voting to remove the Manager;

+a takeover of the Trust or its underlying assets; and

+Unitholder pressure to reduce fees over time.

Individually, these risks might be judged to be remote, and they can be mitigated by good performance on

the part of the Manager, as reflected in the LPV’s operating and security trading performance.

Nevertheless these risks remain present, and collectively they have an impact on the value of LPV

management rights. These risks are appreciated not just by the owners but also the potential acquirers

of LPV management rights. This in large measure explains why the observed trading values of LPV

management rights (whether in internalisations or sales to third party buyers) are at material discounts

to the theoretical value of internalisation to the LPV itself. For the LPV, the alternative to internalisation is

perpetually paying management fees to some external party. However, for the incumbent manager (or

any potential third party buyer) there is usually uncertainty of tenure.

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202454

SCHEDULE 3
INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL REPORT

— continued

In some instances the manager’s risk is mitigated by actually having a specified term in the management

agreement, and/or by owning a holding in the underlying LPV’s securities sufficient to block any special

resolution to remove the manager. Managers with these features are said to be “entrenched”. High levels

of entrenchment generally reduce the discount that would otherwise apply to the value of that manager’s

rights, notwithstanding that entrenchment will not necessarily transfer to an acquirer of LPV management

rights. Conversely, if investors are dissatisfied with a manager’s performance and call for a vote to remove

the manager, or if there is the prospect of a takeover of the LPV, then the value of the management rights

will be more heavily discounted.

As discussed above, GMG’s 25.2% holding in the Trust provides a very high level of entrenchment for

GNZ, and GPSNZ’s property manager role is highly likely to be renewed if GNZ remains Manager, except

if it is in material breach of property management agreements.

Furthermore, we are not aware of any material investor concerns with the Manager’s performance or

any takeover proposal for the Trust or its underlying assets. Collectively, these factors act to reduce the

discount that would otherwise apply to the value of the Management Rights. Nevertheless, as shown in

the following sections, the value of the Proposed Internalisation to the Trust (in terms of the present value

of future cost savings) is still materially greater than the fair market value of the Management Rights.

Value of the Management Rights to the Trust

We used the DCF approach in estimating the value of the Management Rights to the Trust. In estimating

the cost savings from the Proposed Internalisation we have assumed that the alternative to internalisation

is a continuation in perpetuity of the current management fee arrangements.

This value is typically only available to the Trust because it does not incorporate additional risk factors

that are faced by owners of management rights discussed above. Therefore the resulting DCF value

may overstate the value of Internalisation to the Trust, because it does not factor in the potential (under

the alternative of no internalisation) for reductions in things like fund management fee rates over time to

partially offset the growth in the Trust’s FUM and the Manager’s profitability.

7. 2 Fair Market Value of Management Rights

We have assessed the fair market value of the Management Rights using a market approach with

reference to multiples derived from comparable transactions.

Selection of Multiples

The market approach requires selecting the appropriate type of multiple to use for calculating fair value.

In this case, we considered multiples of enterprise value (EV) / FUM, EV / Revenue, and EV / EBIT.

Multiples of FUM are often used in this type of analysis because the data is widely available from public

disclosures of prior internalisations and other transactions. EV / FUM multiples also have the advantage

that they can be calculated without reference to the manager’s financial performance and applied

easily to any size fund. The major weakness with EV / FUM multiples is that they do not take differing fee

structures, economies of scale, and profitability into account. Therefore, whilst we have considered them,

we have not ultimately relied on EV / FUM multiples in our valuation.

Revenue multiples are also generally available and do capture differences in fee structures, and thus we

find them more valuable than multiples of FUM. However, EV / Revenue multiples also do not capture

differences in economies of scale and profitability.

EBIT multiples capture differences in fee structures, economies of scale, and profitability. They should

provide the best measure of value, considering that it is an earnings stream that is ultimately being

purchased. Unfortunately, EBIT multiples are not as readily available, as often EBIT figures are not

publicly disclosed in transaction data from prior internalisations. We also note that both revenue and

EBIT multiples can be distorted by performance fee payments falling in the year of the transaction. EBIT

multiples can further be distorted by the timing of LTIP payments.

Given the trade-off between availability and applicability, we have elected to use both revenue and EBIT

multiples in assessing the fair market value of the Management Rights.

The New Zealand transactions are summarised below.

AMP Haumi

Precinct Properties owns, develops, and manages commercial assets in New Zealand’s city centres.

In March 2021, the Independent Directors of Precinct Properties announced the termination of the

Management Services Agreement with AMP Haumi Management Limited, leading to the internalisation

of Precinct’s management. Key terms of the transaction involve a gross payment of $215 million from

Precinct to AMP Haumi Management Limited. At the time, Precinct Properties held assets under

management at approximately $3.3 billion.

Centuria Capital Group

Centuria Capital Group, specializing in real estate funds and investment bonds, is an investment manager.

In June 2020, they successfully completed a takeover offer, securing the remaining shares of Augusta

Capital Limited and obtaining a total 90.8% stake for $73.8 million. This strategic move increased its

market capitalization, surpassing AU$1.0 billion and enhanced its potential for inclusion on the ASX.

At the time, Augusta Capital Limited held assets under management valued at $1.9 billion.

Property For Industry

Property For Industry is a listed property vehicle with a focus on the industrial sector. In April 2017, PFI’s

unitholders accepted the move to internalise their management contract from the entity subcontracted

by PFIM, McDougall Reidy & C. The net cost of taking over the contract was $30.3 million, subject to a

binding rule from the Inland Revenue on its tax deductibility. At the time, the group had a portfolio valued

at $1.1 billion.

Kiwi Income Properties

Kiwi Property Group (a listed property vehicle with a focus on Office/Retail) moved to internalise

the management of Kiwi Property Management (NZ) Limited for a net payment of $72.5 million.

Management responsibilities transitioned to a new manager under the control of unitholders, operating

on a break-even basis. At the time, the Management Limited held a portfolio of diversified assets valued

at $2.1 billion.

Augusta Funds Management Limited

Kermadec Property Fund Limited is a diversified property fund having approximately $99 million

of commercial and industrial property assets under management at the time of internalisation. Its

unitholders approved an agreement to terminate the Kermadec Management Agreement with Augusta

Funds Management Limited and to acquire Augusta’s on-going funds management business. The

consideration paid comprised a $2.0 million payment for termination of the management agreement,

and a $3.0 million base payment for Augusta’s funds management business plus an earn-out of up to

$2.0 million calculated at 50% of the offeror’s fees earned on any new managed fund (including new

property syndicates) offered by Kermadec following acquisition of the funds management business.

Vital Healthcare

Vital Healthcare invests in high-quality health and medical-related properties in New Zealand and

Australia. In October 2011 North West Partners Inc purchased the management rights of Vital

Healthcare from a wholly owned subsidiary of OnePath (NZ) Limited for $11.5 million. At the time,

the trust had assets under management valued at approximately $300 million.

Argosy (NZ) Limited

Argosy Property Trust’s unitholders approved internalisation of the trust’s management in August 2011.

The effect of internalisation was to completely separate the trust from ANZ National Bank and

from OnePath. OnePath was paid $20.0 million to terminate its rights to manage the trust, with the

management duties being internalised. At the time, that trust had assets management valued at

approximately $935 million.

National Property Trust

As part of a significant restructure of National Property Trust that converted it into a limited liability

company, the trust’s manager (National Property Trust Limited) ceased to hold office. It was paid

$2.5 million to relinquish its management contract and related assets, with the management duties

being internalised. At the time, that trust held a portfolio of diversified commercial properties valued

at $187 million.

DNZ Property Fund

As part of restructuring arrangements leading to DNZ Property Fund obtaining a stock exchange listing,

the fund internalised its management function through acquiring the existing management contracts

from DNZ Management for $35 million. Of this amount, $10 million was reinvested back into the fund by

persons associated with DNZ Management. The fund holds a diversified portfolio of commercial office,

retail and industrial properties throughout New Zealand valued at $730 million.

Assessed Multiple Ranges

We consider the more recent New Zealand internalisations (by Precinct Properties, Property for Industry

Limited, and Kiwi Income Property Trust) to be the most comparable to the GMT Proposed Internalisation

given their recency, geography (size of addressable market) and size (FUM and market capitalisation).

The real estate market conditions and trading multiples of LPTs at the time of each internalisation should

be considered in the selection of appropriate EV / Revenue and EV / EBIT multiples. The following graph

displays the historical internalisation transaction multiples of New Zealand and Australian Internalisations

(and the GMT Proposed Internalisation) relative to LPT trading multiples at the time of internalisation.

In determining appropriate EV / Revenue and EV / EBIT multiple ranges from this transaction data,

we have:

+focussed heavily on the transactions most similar to the GMT Management Rights for the reasons

discussed above, being Precinct Properties, Property for Industry Limited, and Kiwi Income

Property Trust;

+taken into account the differing economic, property market and share market conditions in

New Zealand since these transactions occurred. Our multiple selection is based on consideration

of observed multiple expansion/contraction in the sector and consideration of GMT’s own current

trailing and forward multiples. This is similar to the analysis in the chart above, but considers

individual LPV trading multiples rather than just the aggregate/index; and

+taken into account the differing circumstances around the transactions (e.g. the level of

entrenchment of the manager; whether there was any pressure to remove the manager; relative

manager profitability, etc.).

Taking these factors into account, we have adopted the following multiple ranges to assess the fair

market value of the Management Rights:

+EV / Revenue: 5.5x to 6.5x

+EV / EBIT: 12.0x to 14.0x

Normalised Revenue and EBIT

Management have estimated normalised fees saved (revenue) of $49.6 million and net operating savings

(cost savings) of $22.0 million, as shown in table below.

These revenue and cost savings figures have been calculated on a similar basis to the forecasts

discussed in Section 7.3.

The revenue figure is relatively straightforward, and we are comfortable with the level of performance

fee savings management has assumed. Whilst we have taken a different approach in our own calculation,

the performance fee savings is the same as we would calculate under the method we have used in our

DCF analysis.

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202459

SCHEDULE 3
INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL REPORT

— continued

As mentioned above, EBIT / cost savings multiples can be distorted by how things like performance fees

or LTIP payments fall in the year of the transaction. In this case, under the terms of the transaction GMG

will assume all existing LTIP liabilities (with an economic value of $41.4 million as at 30 September 2023),

resulting in no LTIPs being paid by GMT for the first three years following internalisation, making cost

savings more complicated to normalise.

We have therefore considered the performance fee and LTIP payments in various ways to gain comfort

with the figures above:

+Current basis – the $9.0 million performance fee is the same size as the performance fee we would

calculate under the method we have used in our DCF analysis. The LTIP expense is greater than

the accounting expense GMT would recognise in Year 1 if they were to grant a new LTIP of the size

they forecast. This results in a net cost savings of $21.6 million, which is similar to the $22.0 million

modelled by management.

+Normalised basis using simple averaging – we have substituted in a ‘normalised’ performance fee

and LTIP payment based on the 10-year averages from our DCF analysis. This results in a net cost

savings of $21.1 million, which is also similar to the $22.0 million modelled by management.

+Net present value basis – we have removed the performance fee and LTIP payments from the cost

savings calculation, resulting in a net cost savings figure of $17.1 million. We have then applied

our assessed 12.0x to 14.0x multiple range to this lower notional cost savings figure and added

the net present value of the difference between the performance fee and LTIP payment from our

DCF to calculate a valuation range. This valuation range is slightly higher than the valuation range

we calculate below by applying our assessed 12.0x to 14.0x multiple range to management’s

$22.0 million net cost savings figure.

On balance, each of these alternative approaches helps us gain comfort in adopting the $22.0 million

figure as a ‘normalised’ costs savings figure.

Conclusion

We have assessed the fair market value of the Management Rights to be in the range of $268 million to

$315 million, as shown in the table below.

Our valuation range equates to 5.8% to 6.8% of FUM. This is higher than the mean for New Zealand

internalisations, but in line with the implied multiple of FUM in the Precinct transaction, reflecting the larger

size and scale of GMT and Precinct relative to the other New Zealand internalisations. It also reflects the

multiple expansion in the sector over time as many of the other internalisations are quite dated.

7. 3 Value of Internalisation to the Trust

We have assessed the value of the Proposed Internalisation to GMT using a DCF, based on medium term

projections from FY25 informed by discussions with the Manager.

The value to the Trust from the Proposed Internalisation essentially relates to the forecast level of

profitability of GNZ and GPSNZ that is retained by the Trust with internalisation. The trend in forecast

profits is primarily driven by the rate of growth in FUM. We summarise below the key assumptions in the

forecasts and any adjustments made.

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202460

SCHEDULE 3
INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL REPORT

— continued

Funds Under Management

The forecast base fund management, property management and development fees saved due to

internalisation have been based on the fund model prepared by the Manager. The model assumes an

opening FUM of $4.5 billion at 31 March 2024, which represents a downward revaluation across the

property portfolio. FUM is forecast to grow significantly by the end of FY32.

For internal purposes, from FY25 forward, the Manager does not model any property revaluations.

We have adjusted their forecast model to assume nominal property price inflation of 3.2% from FY25

onwards, based on long-term capital growth reported by the MSCI New Zealand Property Index.

Base Management Fees

The forecast base fund management, property management and development fees saved due to

internalisation have been based on the strategic plan prepared by the Manager, adjusted for revaluations

as noted above.

Performance Fees

While it is our view that future performance fee payments should be incorporated into the discounted

cash flow analysis, we also recognise that, consistent with historical performance, there will likely be

many years in which no performance fee will be payable. However, when large outperformance occurs,

the performance fee can be significant.

As discussed in Section 5.3, performance fees are calculated as 10% of outperformance above

the S&P/NZX gross property index excluding GMT, capped at 5% of annual outperformance.

Both outperformance and underperformance are carried forward in perpetuity.

Estimating the amount and timing of performance fees is difficult because Unitholder returns tend to

mirror broader market trends and cycles and as such are not evenly spread from year to year, and there

is uncertainty around GMT’s share price performance (and index movement) over the forecast period.

Because it is not possible to generate reliable forecasts for future share price movements, we have

considered the history of past performance fee payments to help inform what the future might look like

and adjusted the forecast prepared by the Manager.

We note the following:

+GMT’s performance fees have fluctuated over the last 10 years, with more performance bonuses

paid in more recent years following GMT’s transition to a solely Auckland industrial focussed

portfolio.

+The average annual GMT performance bonus paid as a percentage of the maximum allowable

performance bonus (i.e. the average annual bonus percentage paid per year) in the last 10 years

was 49%. This increased to 60% over the last 8 years and 70% in the last 7 years.

+The total actual GMT performance bonus paid as a percentage of the maximum allowable

performance bonus (i.e. total bonus percentage paid across all years) in the last 10 years was 55%.

This increased to 58% over the last 8 years and 72% in the last 7 years.

In our DCF, we have applied a percentage of the maximum allowable forecast performance bonus to

reflect our adjusted expectation of future performance fees. We have assumed 60% in our base case

valuation, and then ranged this percentage from 50% – 70% in sensitivity tables, reflecting the above

factors.

We note that:

+GMT is likely to pay above average performance fees in the near term because as at 20 February

2024, $42.7 million of outperformance (after payment of $14.7 million as part of the Proposed

Internalisation) would be carried forward due to historical outperformance and outperformance in

FY24 to date; and

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202461

SCHEDULE 3
INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL REPORT

— continued

+industrial properties are generally expected to outperform those in other sectors. Given the manner

in which the performance fee is calculated (performance relative to the S&P/NZX gross property

index) it is likely that GNZ will earn additional performance fees in the near to mid-term, which will

either be paid out or accrued, depending on absolute performance.

These serve to make our DCF analysis potentially conservative given the impact of discounting, as near

to mid-term cash flows are worth more than long term cash flows on a present value basis.

Management Costs

In order to determine the profitability of the Management Rights, it is necessary to determine the

cost of managing GMT on a standalone basis. As a result of the Proposed Internalisation, the forecast

management, staff, occupancy, IT and other expenses will effectively be incurred by GMT post

internalisation.

We have been provided with forecasts for the costs associated with the internalised management of

GMT. These are derived using the current costs incurred by GPSNZ and GNZ, with adjustments made

where relevant to reflect any changes resulting from internalisation. We have reviewed these cost

estimates in detail and consider them to be reasonable. Relying primarily on this forecast, we have

adopted costs of $24.1 million for FY25, with assumed cost inflation of 3.0% per annum thereafter

(reflecting the medium-term wage inflation outlook and our estimate of long-run inflation for both

industrial property and wage costs).

Implementation Costs

Non-recurring expenses (including Deloitte’s fee, share registry expenses, legal fees, accounting and tax

advice fees, financial adviser fees, other professional consulting fees, printing costs and postage costs)

related to evaluating and putting forward the Proposed Internalisation to Unitholders are estimated to

amount to an aggregate of approximately $7.4 million, assuming the Proposed Internalisation proceeds.

Of these costs, approximately $3.2 million are considered sunk costs that will have been incurred

regardless of whether or not the Proposed Internalisation proceeds. We have subtracted any ‘non sunk

costs’ from our assessed valuation range.

Forecasts

Based on the assumptions discussed above, the forecast cost savings to the Trust from the Proposed

Internalisation are shown in the following chart:

Beyond the forecast period shown, before calculating the terminal value, we have assumed that FUM

grows at 3.2% per annum, and expenses grow at 3.0% per annum.

Discount rate

For the purpose of this DCF analysis of the value of Proposed Internalisation to the Trust, we have

adopted a weighted average cost of capital (WACC) range of 8.0% – 8.5%. In estimating this WACC

range we have used a number of approaches, including the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM).

Ultimately, however, the estimation of WACC is a matter of professional judgement.

DCF Valuation

Based on the forecasts above, and our discount rate range of 8.0% to 8.5%, we estimate the value of

Proposed Internalisation to the Trust is in the range of $390 million to $432 million.

We have included the sensitivity chart below to show the impact of changing various valuation

assumptions.

Figure 5

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS


Source: Deloitte analysis

7. 4 Valuation Conclusions

In Deloitte’s opinion:

+the fair market value of the Management Rights, taking into account the risks to any external owner of

those rights, is in the range of $268 million to $315 million; and

+the value of the Proposed Internalisation to the Trust, being the discounted present value of forecast

future cash flow savings into perpetuity, is in the range of $390 million to $432 million.

The proposed payment for terminating the Management Rights is $272.4 million.

The termination payment is expected to be tax deductible to the Trust, resulting in an expected tax

deduction of $73.1 million. When the expected benefit of the tax deductibility is considered, the net

purchase price of the Management Rights is $199.3 million.

The before-tax payment is within our assessed range for the fair market value of the Management Rights.

The termination payment (on both a before and an after-tax basis) is also materially lower than Deloitte’s

assessment of the value of the Proposed Internalisation to the Trust.

8.0 Other Internalisation Considerations

8.1 Financial

The financial benefits of the Proposed Internalisation lie in reductions in the Trust’s future costs of

management, the associated increase in operating cash flow and earnings per Unit (i.e. earnings

accretion), and a potential improvement in the trading price of Units as a result of the increase in earnings

and the removal of a possible impediment to a takeover of the Trust.

Potential negative financial impacts include a reduction in net tangible assets on a per Unit basis.

Earnings Accretion

In Section 7.3 we assessed the value of the Proposed Internalisation to the Trust to be in the vicinity of

$390 million to $432 million, compared to the payment required to achieve this value of $199.3 million

(net of the expected tax benefit). In other words, internalisation has a net present value benefit of

approximately $191 million to $233 million.

This net benefit is evidenced via an increase in the operating cash flows and earnings of the Trust over

time, which should in turn result in higher Unit prices and market capitalisation than would otherwise be

the case if the Proposed Internalisation did not proceed.

Under the current arrangements GMT capitalises certain management fees, leasing fees, and

development fees paid to GNZ and GPSNZ ($18.2 million on an FY24 pro-forma basis). After

internalisation, GMT would still capitalise certain expenses, but far less than pre-internalisation

($4.8 million on an FY24 pro-forma basis). As these fees would no longer be capitalised in the event of

internalisation, the incremental impact from the Proposed Internalisation on ‘operating earnings’ is smaller

than the impact on ‘cash operating earnings’ or ‘Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) earnings’.

The table below reconciles ‘FY24 Manager cost savings’ to the ‘FY24 Operating Earnings’. Some of

the figures are different in this table from those in Table 12 of the report because this table references

actual FY24 cost savings while Table 12 utilises normalised/run-rate figures (for example, development

management fees of $12.0 million below vs $6.5 million in Table 12).

The impact of Proposed Internalisation on various financial metrics in FY24 is shown in the table below,

where for illustrative purposes we compare the Trust’s financial performance with the pro forma outcome

assuming the Proposed Internalisation occurred at the beginning of that financial year. We have assumed

that the net $199.3 million termination payment is fully tax deductible and new Units are issued at

$2.14, being the 5-day VWAP ending on 20 February 2024. We have assumed that the benefit of the

tax deduction is immediate and results in all of the tax saving being on settlement, reducing GMT’s debt

levels (reflected in the reduced interest cost in the table below presented in the ‘Tax deduction’ column).

The pro forma FY24 operating earnings, cash earnings, and AFFO earnings per unit would be higher if the increased units

on issue under internalisation are adjusted downward for the performance fee that would not be payable if internalised.

Source: Management

GMT’s distributions are set based on cash operating earnings (GMT has a target of 80% - 90% of cash

operating earnings for setting distributions). Analysts and investors generally focus on distributions,

AFFO earnings and cash flows. As shown in the table above, normalised pro forma FY24 post-tax cash

operating earnings per Unit are broadly flat. AFFO earnings per Unit increase by 2.8%. For completeness,

we note that the increases on a per unit basis would be higher (more beneficial) if we backed out the units

issued for the performance fee that would not have been payable if the internalisation had happened

prior to FY24.

The intention is that the Trust will ultimately settle the termination payment in cash to be used by GIT to

subscribe for GMT Units. At the current marginal cost of debt, the issuance of new Units is preferrable to

funding the Proposed Internalisation with debt given the impact on earnings. Cash operating earnings per

unit would decrease by 2.0% and AFFO per unit would decrease by 0.2% if the Proposed Internalisation

were debt funded.

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202465

SCHEDULE 3
INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL REPORT

— continued

Impact on Gearing

As mentioned above, looking through various flows of funds, the intention is for the termination payment

to be funded entirely by equity. All else equal, the Trust’s future gearing (debt as a percentage of FUM) will

decrease by $74.1 million due to the tax benefit received through lower FY24 and future tax payments

(reflected in the decreased interest cost in the table above).

This is positive in our view, given the current higher interest rate environment and because any increase

in gearing might in the short-term restrict the Trust’s ability to take advantage of property acquisition or

development opportunities.

Impact on NTA

The Proposed Internalisation would result in the Trust’s total NTA initially declining by $0.13 per Unit,

given the impact of dilution.

Investors and market commentators often use NTA as a proxy for value in the context of LPVs, as

NTA is based on the periodic valuations of LPVs’ underlying asset portfolios by professional property

valuers. It is also true that the LPVs’ shares or units typically trade at levels close to NTA. However, in

Deloitte’s view, these trading prices are ultimately driven by earnings, and the rates at which investors

capitalise those earnings. It follows that we do not believe the reduction in the Trust’s NTA per Unit due

to the Proposed Internalisation will have a negative impact on Unit prices. Rather, we believe that the net

present value benefit and associated cash flow and earnings accretion over time from the Proposed

Internalisation should have a positive impact and outweigh any concerns regarding NTA.

8.2 Other Benefits of Internalisation

Another financial benefit for Unitholders (that is not fully quantified in our fair market value calculation)

is that if the Proposed Internalisation proceeds any obligation to pay any performance fees in respect of

historical outperformance balance carried forward will be removed.

We have modelled performance fees in our valuation based on historical average payouts. However,

GMT is likely to pay above average performance fees in the near term because, amongst other things,

as at 20 February 2024, $42.7 million of outperformance would be carried forward due to historical

outperformance (after payment of $14.7 million as part of the Proposed Internalisation).

If the Proposed Internalisation is approved by Unitholders it removes this obligation of GMT to pay

performance fees carried forward. Of note, the Trust Deed calls for the entire balance to be applied

without restriction by Threshold or Cap and be paid to the Manager upon termination of the Management

Rights, but this has been waived during transaction negotiations and GMT would only pay the maximum

$14.7m performance fee that could actually be earned in FY24.

Other (non-financial) benefits for Unitholders if the Internalisation proceeds include that it would:

+remove the potential for conflicts of interest between the Manager and the Unitholders;

+provide greater control over the management of the Trust;

+allow opportunities to grow earnings through activities such as fund management/diversification of

income streams;

+remove a possible impediment to corporate takeover or merger activity/allows for future

corporatisation;

+remove the risks associated with GMG selling the Management Rights to a third party; and

+voting on all Directors.

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202466

SCHEDULE 3
INDEPENDENT APPRAISAL REPORT

Removes potential for conflict of interest

If the Proposed Internalisation is approved by Unitholders it removes the potential for conflicts of interest

between the Manager and the Trust. Deloitte is not aware of any investor concerns regarding conflicts of

interest with the Manager. However, with external management, the Manager can be incentivised to grow

the size of the portfolio to increase its management fees, even if that may not be in the best interests of

the Trust or Unitholders. Internalisation removes this risk.

Enhanced control

Currently GMG, in its capacity as shareholder of the Manager, appoints directors of the Manager. The

Trust Deed states that there shall be no more than four Independent Directors (of a total possible seven

directors). If the Proposed Internalisation proceeds, Unitholders will be responsible for the appointment of

all of the directors. Notwithstanding that GMG will own a larger percentage of the Units, this will result in a

material improvement in Unitholders’ governance of the Trust – GMG will still not own a controlling stake.

The directors appointed by the Unitholders will set the strategic direction of the Trust and manage it as

they see fit. The Board will have the power to remunerate and appoint the senior executive team and to

determine the cost structure of Manager.

Opportunities to grow earnings through activities such as fund management/

diversification of income streams

Under the current management structure, GMG would receive any additional fee revenue from activities

such as fund management or development, if these were undertaken. Under internalisation, the benefits

of these activities would flow to the Trust and its Unitholders. The new structure would also allow for a

capital partnering model in the future, if it was considered beneficial to do so.

Removal of a possible impediment to corporate takeover or merger activity/allows for

future corporatisation

Historically, internationally listed property trusts with internalised management have traded at higher

values relative to NTA than externally managed listed property trusts have. It is theorised that this is

because there are less impediments to corporate takeover/merger activity because the Management

Rights can effectively be acquired with the Trust without the approval of an external manager.

Risk removed of GMG selling Management Rights to a third party

As discussed in Section 6.2, if the Proposed Internalisation did not proceed the Management Rights

could effectively be sold to a third party through a sale of GNZ and GPSNZ. If this were the case

there could be certain disadvantages: Unitholders would have no control over who acquired GNZ and

GPSNZ (and consequently the Management Rights), and if the employees of GPSNZ did not continue

in employment following that sale, there could be a loss of knowledge and disruption to management

services. Under the Proposed Internalisation, the Unitholders will obtain control over the Management

Rights and achieve continuity of management.

No brand disruption and continuing access to GMG’s expertise

The transaction terms of the Proposed Internalisation allow GMT to continue to use the Goodman brand,

which is globally recognised. The terms also include a co-operation and services agreement, under which

GMT’s management has ongoing access to GMG’s sector expertise and various relationships (e.g. with

capital partners, lenders, etc.) at no ongoing cost.

Rights and protections of Unitholders

There are no negative impacts on the rights of, or protections available to, Unitholders as a result of the

Proposed Internalisation. Whilst GMG would have a larger shareholding than it currently has, GMG will

not gain a controlling stake. There will be no change to the legal status of Units. As discussed above,

Unitholders will, as a result of the Proposed Internalisation:

+gain enhanced control of the management of the Trust;

+avoid certain risks; and

+achieve financial benefits such as earnings accretion over time.

9.0 Conclusions

9.1 Fairness of the Proposed Internalisation

In Deloitte’s opinion the Proposed Internalisation is fair to the Unitholders not associated with

Goodman Group.

In Deloitte’s opinion, and taking into account the risk factors that are faced by external owners of

management rights (such as Unitholders or the Trustee voting to remove the Manager, or a takeover

of the Trust or its underlying assets), the fair market value of the Management Rights that would be

relinquished by GNZ in the Proposed Internalisation is in the range of $268 million to $315 million.

The proposed net termination payment of $272.4 million is within Deloitte’s fair market valuation range

and is therefore fair to Unitholders in the sense that Unitholders are not paying more than third party

buyers would expect to pay.

We assess the value of the Proposed Internalisation to the Trust (i.e. the discounted present value of

forecast future cash savings in perpetuity) to be in the vicinity of $390 million to $432 million. We note

that this value is only available to the Trust. It does not represent the fair market value of the Management

Rights because it does not incorporate the risk factors mentioned above.

The expected after-tax cost of the termination payment ($199.3 million) is materially lower than the value

of the Internalisation to the Trust ($390 million – $432 million).

This benefit is evidenced by expected increases in the Trust’s cash flows and earnings, because in

subsequent years on a per Unit basis the annual cost savings from internalising the management of the

Trust are greater than the dilution effect of making the termination payment.

The Proposed Internalisation will initially reduce NTA by $0.13 per Unit. In our view the reduction in NTA

per Unit impact is more than outweighed by the significant net present value benefit from internalisation

and the associated earnings accretion. Overall, we believe the Proposed Internalisation will be financially

beneficial for Unitholders.

Other benefits for Unitholders if the Proposed Internalisation proceeds include that it will:

i. remove the potential for conflicts of interest between the Manager and the Unitholders;

ii. provide greater control over the management of the Trust;

iii. allow opportunities to grow earnings through activities such as fund management/diversification of

income streams;

iv. remove a possible impediment to corporate takeover or merger activity/allows for future

corporatisation; and

v. remove the risks associated with GMG selling the Management Rights to a third party.

In Deloitte’s opinion the proposed issuance of units to GIT is fair to Unitholders not associated

with GIT.

The proposed issuance of Units to GIT is fair to Unitholders not associated with GIT because:

+the issue price for the Units is the 5-day VWAP ending on 20 February 2024. Assuming an efficient

market and no material Unit price movements prior to announcement, this price should represent fair

market value, and large but non-controlling placements of Units (for example in a capital raise) are

commonly issued at a discount to fair market value (broadly 3% to 5% based on our experience);

+GMT’s Unit price is currently around its NTA per Unit. On average, over the last three years, GMT

has traded at broadly 1.0x NTA (refer to Section 4.3). The issue price is higher than NTA per Unit

after taking account of preliminary 31 March 2024 valuations, and therefore a higher price than

Unitholders might achieve if GMT’s properties were sold out of the Trust;

+at the current marginal cost of debt, the proposed issuance is preferrable to funding the Proposed

Internalisation with debt given the impact on earnings (cash operating earnings per unit and AFFO per

unit would be lower if the Proposed Internalisation were debt funded). This is covered in more detail

in Section 8.1. There is also currently less appetite to fund future growth/development through debt

funding and credit markets are difficult to navigate;

+GMT’s last reported gearing of 29% was at the upper end of its preferred range of 20 - 30%. The

proposed issuance will not increase GMT’s gearing;

+when considered in conjunction with the cost savings from the Proposed Internalisation, the

dilutionary impact of the proposed issuance is broadly offset by increased cash operating earnings.

GMT’s distributions (which are set based on a target of 80% – 90% of cash operating earnings, and

currently towards the lower end of the target) should not be impacted. This is covered in more detail

in Section 8.1;

+when considered in conjunction with the cost savings from the Proposed Internalisation, the

dilutionary impact of the proposed issuance is more than offset by increased AFFO earnings. This is

covered in more detail in Section 8.1;

+the transaction terms of the Proposed Internalisation include a co-operation and services

agreement, under which GMT’s management has ongoing access to GMG’s sector expertise and

various relationships (e.g. with capital partners, lenders etc), at no ongoing cost. As the proposed

issuance results in GMG having more Units, GMG should be more invested in GMT’s success;

+there are no negative impacts on the trading liquidity of the Units as a result of the proposed issuance

(GMT is proposing to issue new Units, rather than GMG purchasing and effectively ‘locking up’

existing Units); and

+there are no negative impacts on the rights of or protections available to Unitholders as a result of

the proposed issuance (whilst it will result in GMG owning more Units in GMT, GMG will not own a

controlling stake).

GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST | NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING | 26 FEBRUARY 202473

LETTER FROM
COVENANT TRUSTEE SERVICES LIMITED




26 February 2024

To: The Unitholders, Goodman Property Trust

Covenant Trustee Services Limited (“Covenant”) acts as the Supervisor for the issue of

units in the Goodman Property Trust (“GMT”) under the Trust Deed dated 23 April 1999

as amended and restated from time to time (“Deed”). Goodman (NZ) Limited (“GNZ”) is the

manager of GMT. GNZ is a subsidiary of the ASX listed Goodman Group.

Covenant has the responsibility to act in the best interests of the holders of the units

(“Unitholders”) while supervising the performance by GNZ of its functions and obligations

within the terms of the Deed, the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial

Markets Conduct Regulations 2014.

Covenant is licenced to fulfil this role pursuant to the Financial Market Supervisors Act 2011.

GNZ is proposing to internalise the management of GMT (which will have the effect of,

among other things, removing the management fee paid to GNZ and replacing GNZ with a

management entity essentially owned by the Unitholders, via a shareholder entity). GNZ has

called a meeting of Unitholders to seek your approval by way of:

(a) an Ordinary Resolution for GNZ and Covenant taking all steps necessary to give effect

to the internalisation of the management of GMT;

(b) an Ordinary Resolution for the issue of 135,514,019 new units in GMT to Goodman

Funds Management Limited, as responsible entity for Goodman Industrial Trust; and

(c) an Extraordinary Resolution for the appointment of Goodman Property Services (NZ)

Limited as the new manager of GMT,

together “the Internalisation Proposal”, the details of which are more particularly described

in the meeting papers.

We consider this is an important matter for Unitholders. It is important that you read the

Notice of Special Meeting and accompanying documentation carefully.

GNZ has set out the rationale for the Internalisation Proposal in the Notice of Special Meeting.

We strongly recommend you seek advice from your professional advisor(s) before casting

your vote.

You should note that if the two Ordinary Resolutions and the Extraordinary Resolution are

passed at the meeting then they will be binding on all Unitholders, including any Unitholders

who vote against the proposal. If any one resolution fails to pass then the whole Internalisation

Proposal will not proceed.

Yours sincerely,

HOW TO VOTE ON THE RESOLUTIONS

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

If you do not plan to attend the Meeting, you may appoint a proxy to attend the

Meeting and vote in your place. A proxy need not be a Unitholder. The Chair of the

Meeting, or any other director of the Manager, is willing to act as proxy for any

Unitholder who wishes to appoint him or her for that purpose. To do this, enter

‘the Chair’ or the name of your proxy in the space allocated in ‘Step 1’ of this form.

Voting of your holding

Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each

Resolution. If you mark the “Proxy Discretion” box or you do not mark a box, you

will deemed to have given your proxy discretion and they may vote as they choose.

However, if a person who is disqualified from voting in favour of Resolution 1 or

Resolution 2 (including the Chair of the Meeting) is appointed as a proxy, that

person will not be permitted to vote an undirected proxy given in their favour with

respect to those resolutions by any other Unitholder. The Chair and any other

director of the Manager intends to vote any undirected proxies held by them for

Resolution 3 in favour of the resolution. If you mark more than one box in respect of

a Resolution, your proxy appointment will be invalid and no vote will be cast on your

behalf. If you complete this form but do not name a person as your proxy or your

named proxy does not attend the Meeting, but you otherwise complete this Voting

and Proxy Form in full, the Chair of the Meeting will be appointed your proxy and will

vote in accordance with your express direction. As noted above, the Chair will not

vote on Resolution 1 or Resolution 2 if granted a discretion on how to vote.

As noted in the Further Information section of the Notice of Meeting, Goodman

(NZ) Limited, Goodman Limited and the Associated Persons of both (including

each of the directors of the Manager) are disqualified by Listing Rule 6.3.1 and

the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 from voting in favour of, or acting as a

discretionary proxy in relation to, Resolution 1 and Resolution 2.

Attending the Meeting

If attending the Meeting in person please bring this form to assist registration. If a

representative of a corporate Unitholder is to attend the Meeting you will need to

provide written evidence of your authorisation prior to admission.

If you are participating through the live webcast, please refer to the Virtual

Dear Unitholder


GOODMAN PROPERTY TRUST (“GMT”) – Internalisation Proposal

On Monday 26 February 2024, Goodman (NZ) Limited (“GNZ”) announced a proposal to

internalise the management GMT to the NZX (“Internalisation Proposal”). Conditional on

Unitholder and other approvals, the change to the corporate structure would bring to an end the

existing external management arrangement with ASX-listed Goodman Group and effectively

transfer these functions to GMT

The Board of GNZ believes internalisation is a positive initiative that is expected to provide

growth opportunities for our business, and immediate and longer-term benefits to Unitholders. It

reduces expenses, diversifies income, and enhances the ability to recycle capital through the

establishment of a complementary property funds management business.

The pathway to Internalisation

Led by Deputy Chair of GNZ, David Gibson, a sub-committee of the Independent Directors was

established to consider and negotiate the terms of the Internalisation Proposal with Goodman

Group. Through its subsidiaries, Goodman Group has been the manager of GMT and a

cornerstone investor since 2003.

Following the successful conclusion of this process, an agreement has been entered into to

effect the change. Continuing as a supportive business partner Goodman Group will reinvest the

$290 million of total consideration it will receive into new units in GMT (at $2.14 per unit). Subject

to settlement of the internalisation and final approval of terms, it has also committed to up to

$200 million of additional equity to co-invest in a new Auckland logistics fund alongside GMT and

other potential capital partners.

Deloitte, the Independent Appraiser, assessed the $272.4 million consideration as being within their

fair market valuation range of $268 million to $315 million and therefore concluded that the

Internalisation Proposal was fair to non-associated Unitholders. They also concluded that the issue

of new units to Goodman Group was fair to non-associated Unitholders.

The Internalisation Proposal is fully described in the Notice of Meeting. You are encouraged to read

this document carefully, including the Independent Appraisal Report. A copy of the NZX release

announcing the initiative is also available online at: https://bit.ly/49MW1Ow

Special Meeting of Unitholders

Given the related party nature of the transaction, Unitholder approval is required. A hybrid Meeting

is to be held on 26 March 2024, commencing at 10:00 am. The venue for the physical event is the

Park Hyatt Hotel, 99 Halsey Street, Auckland 1010. The live webcast can be accessed from:

https://meetnow.global/nz.

We encourage you to exercise your right to vote, either at the Meeting or by appointing a proxy.

See the Voting and Proxy Form for more information.

The Independent Directors unanimously recommend

that Unitholders vote in favour of all three resolutions.

If you have any queries or questions on the resolutions or other information contained in the Notice

of Meeting, please contact your financial, taxation or legal adviser. You can also call the investor

advisory line on 0800 292 983 or +61 3 9415 4264 from outside New Zealand.

Yours faithfully,
