PLP – Marlborough Vineyards Valuation Update
25 February 2025

Consistent with property valuation policy, Booster Investment Management Limited (Booster) as manager of
the Private Land and Property Portfolio (the wholesale fund into which the PLP invests) has commissioned
and received an updated independent valuation report for the three vineyards in Marlborough that the
wholesale fund owns. These properties represented ~13% of the total value of the assets of the fund, prior to
this update.
In consideration of the independent valuation report, the Manager has adopted a valuation decrease of $3.1
million in the value of the properties to $25.9 million. This represents a ~11% reduction in the value of those
properties and is a 1.4% decrease in the net asset value of PLP. This will be reflected in the 24 February 2025
unit price (which will be completed on 26 February).
The valuation decrease reflects the difficult conditions for the New Zealand wine industry with changing
demand for wine as well as high levels of variability in the size of the last several harvests. These challenges
have impacted the grape prices which has ultimately impacted asset values. These vineyards are on a grape
supply agreement and so returns from these properties are directly impacted by grape prices and size of the
harvest. The most recent forecast for the harvest for these vineyards is positive with improved grape
volumes across all three vineyards. The combination of the updated 2025 harvest estimates along with
confirmed market data for the 2024 harvest have resulted in an income adjustment to the wholesale fund of
$325,000 after tax (which will also be reflected in the 24 February 2025 unit price).
The net impact of the valuation and harvest income adjustments is a reduction of the most recent NAV (the
unit price at which units are issued by the manager) from $1.3343 per unit to $1.3168.
