Industrial property acquisition to go unconditional
On 23 April 2024 Booster announced that the Private Land and Property Portfolio (the wholesale fund into
which the PLP invests) had entered into a conditional agreement to purchase a large scale recently built
industrial property. The agreement was subject to satisfactory completion of due diligence and supervisor
approval.
Booster, as Manager of the wholesale fund and the PLP, is pleased to confirm that the substantive pre-
conditions have been met (other than administrative matters), and it is expected the property will settle 30
July 2024.
The property is a warehouse facility located in the Iport Business Park in Rolleston, Christchurch. The
purchase price for the property is $63.75 million plus the potential for an additional payment of up to $1.95
million to reflect any valuation uplift as at 1 April 2025 (based on an independent valuation). Following
completion and ignoring the additional payment, the property will represent approximately 31% of the
wholesale fund’s property assets.
The property is subject to a net lease with Lyttleton Port Company Limited who sublease the warehouse to
Move Logistics Limited – a logistics operations business. The remaining lease term is 13 years to July 2037,
with an 8 year right of renewal. The lease will initially provide an ungeared cash return of 6.2% which is
accretive to the PLP’s current cash based return. The property is also expected to make a substantial
contribution to the PLP’s return objective of an average annual long-term return of about 6.5% (before tax
and after all fees) over rolling 7 year periods (as outlined in the Product Disclosure Statement). The
acquisition is also forecast to reduce the volatility of cash returns to the Fund.
This purchase supplements PLP’s core horticultural/ agricultural focus with further diversification benefits, by
property type, industry exposure and geography.
The purchase is to be funded by a mix of cash and ongoing subscriptions to PLP, including the purchase of
additional units in PLP by other funds managed by Booster.
Investors can continue to purchase units in PLP on the NZX or can subscribe for units in the fund as part of
the process described in the fund’s Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) that is available at
www.booster.co.nz
An update has also been made to the PLP’s offer documents to reflect this transaction, a copy of which is
also attached to this announcement.

EXPECTED ACQUISITION
As described in the Sale and Purchase Agreement below (Section 10), the Private Land and

is also forecast to reduce the volatility of cash returns to the Fund.
