Explanatory Notes
RE-ELECTION OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR
At the 2025 Annual Meeting, Unit Holders of Vital Healthcare Property Trust will have the
opportunity to consider and, if thought fit, approve the re-election of Angela Bull as an independent
director of Northwest Healthcare Properties Management Limited (the Manager) by way of
ordinary resolution.
Angela Bull was re-elected to the Board of the Manager in 2022. The other two independent directors
of the Manager have been re-elected by Unit Holders, since then: Dr Michael Stanford was re-
elected in 2023 and Graham Stuart was re-elected in 2024.
The Trust Deed of Vital Healthcare Property Trust provides that Unit Holders are entitled to appoint
two independent directors to the Board of the Manager and that at each annual meeting, one
of the two will retire, but may stand for re-election. The shareholder of the Manager may appoint
further independent directors and there are, in fact, three independent directors. The Board of
the Manager considers that independent directors should be treated equally and that Unit Holders
should have the opportunity to vote on the appointment of each of them on an even rotational basis.
Given Dr Michael Stanford and Graham Stuart have each been re-elected by Unit Holders more
recently, Angela Bull will stand for re-election this year. To achieve this outcome, certain
coordinated steps will be taken, as was the case in 2024. Effectively these steps involve an annual
rotation of the three independent directors such that, at any time, two have been appointed by
Unit Holders and the third has been appointed by the Manager’s shareholder.
The biographical details of Angela Bull are set out below. The Board of the Manager has
determined that Angela Bull is an independent director for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules.
No nominations for Independent Directors were received by the Manager this year prior to the closing
date for nominations and, as a result, no other person is eligible to be elected as an independent
director at the Annual Meeting.
The appointment of Angela Bull requires approval by way of an ordinary resolution. See the
Procedural Notes for further details on the ordinary resolution.
If the Chair of the Annual Meeting, or any other director, is appointed to act as proxy and is not directed on how to
vote, they will cast the proxy votes in favour of the appointment of Angela Bull.
BIOGRAPHICAL NOTES – Angela Bull
Angela Bull is an independent director of Property for Industry (NZX:PFI), Channel Infrastructure
(NZX:CHI), Fulton Hogan and Foodstuffs South Island. She is also an independent director of Bayleys
Corporation and trustee of St Cuthbert’s College.
Angela is a former Chief Executive of Tramco Group, a large New Zealand owned property investment
company which specialises in large scale land holdings, notably the Viaduct Harbour precinct in
Auckland and Wairakei Estate in the Waikato; a former Board member of the Property Council of New
Zealand; and a former independent director of the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand and
realestate.co.nz.
VITAL HEALTHCARE PROPERTY TRUST NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 2025
