Quarterly Client Update

Update as at and for the quarter ending 31 December 2025

Booster Investment Scheme 2

Investment outlook

Returns to the Private Land & Property Fund (Fund, PLPF) have been 2.1% on an annualised basis over

the three-year period to 31 December 2025, and 7.6% p.a. since inception.

The Fund aims to generate an average long-term return of 6.5% p.a. after fees but before tax over

a rolling 7yr period. This Fund objective is based on returns from income and development gains

as properties reach full productive capability. Other returns to the Fund can arise from property

revaluations.

Cash returns

PLPF distribution to investors for the quarter to

December 31st 2025 was 1.10 cents per unit and

is fully imputed, which is equivalent to a pre-tax

payment of 1.13% based on the PLPF unit price as at

the notice date of 4 December 2025. We estimate

that the Fund is generating annual cash based pre-tax

earnings of approximately 3.96% from current lease

income and crop production, also based off the unit

price at 4 December 2025.

Valuation update

There were several independent valuations

completed during the December quarter.

In Marlborough, the Awatere Valley vineyards

increased in value by $1.1m to $22.3m, while the

Hawkes Bay Sileni winery and vineyards grew by

$0.9m to $8.2m. These independent valuations

were completed in October following manager-led

valuations in August.

Meanwhile at the Kerikeri kiwifruit orchard, an

independent report in October reduced its value

by $1.4m to $19.5m in October. However, as the

vines continue to mature, the orchard’s value has

since increased slightly to $19.8 million as at 31

December 2025.

Viticulture market – a look back
at 2025 and looking to V26

With New Zealand’s reputation based on being

a quality producer selling at higher price points,

the high-quality vintage set a great tone for

marketing and selling V25 wines. From the

volume perspective, the vintage over-delivered

(unfortunately). Vintage 2025 was NZ’s second

largest crop ever and, with markets uncertain,

the large crop added to supply side pressure

already affecting growers and wineries - simply put,

New Zealand produced more wine than it sold in

the past 12 months. The end result was grape prices

down on last year, and reduced demand for grapes

as wineries look forward to V26.

While the (V25) harvest itself was a success, the

picture since the last truck was tipped has changed

markedly for many New Zealand wine companies,

particularly trading with the United States. The

10% tariffs announced in May, while the juice was

still fermenting, then the lift to 15% in August, was

another blow to already sluggish sales. Business

with the US continues, and it remains New

Zealand’s single largest wine export market, but

the Chair of Marlborough Winegrowers expects

growth to remain flat for the time being.

The recent Wine Marlborough industry pulse-

check survey showed a clear understanding of

the importance of producing the quality grapes

required to make quality wine. Marlborough

Sauvignon Blanc grown to sensible cropping levels

remains a highly regarded wine across the world.

after fees) from a combination of rental and crop income, and capital gain

from improvements in property productive capacity. Past performance is not

an indicator of future performance.

Gearing Ratio5.6

The investment objective and strategy of the Wholesale Portfolio allows it to borrow

to invest in more land and properties or to develop land and properties it already

holds. Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) has provided a loan facility of up to 50% of

the value of the secured properties for use by the Wholesale Portfolio to effect its

gearing strategy which results in BNZ holding a security interest over most of the

assets held by the Wholesale Portfolio. For further information on the Wholesale

Portfolio, please refer to the Fund’s PDS and Other Material Information document.

The gearing ratio shows the level of borrowing the Wholesale Portfolio has

undertaken as a percentage of total assets.

Dairy farm market update

Despite lower prices in the last several Global Dairy

Trade auctions of 2025, the dairy sector is still

performing strongly. During December, Fonterra

revised its forecast midpoint milk price down twice,

originally from $10 per kgMS to $9.50 per kgMS

and then further to $9 per kgMS. This has been

driven by strong milk flows in New Zealand and

globally, particularly out of the US and Europe.

Global Dairy Trade auctions prices rose an average

of 6.3% in the first auction of 2026, snapping the

5-month negative decline.

Horticulture update

The horticulture industries that some PLP

properties are linked to remains two-paced.

Kiwifruit sales (which can have an impact on

Kiwifruit property prices), remain strong with

harvest 25/26 is likely to be the largest yet

according to Zespri forecasts. On the flipside

the Avocado market, (which can have an impact

on avocado property prices), remains weak as

delayed exports and a slow start to the season have

affected sentiment.

In some good news for the horticulture industry, the

recent NZ-India Free Trade Agreement promises

new opportunities for New Zealand exporters.

Notably for the above two horticultural industries,

tariffs on Kiwifruit exports have been removed on

up to 15,000 tonnes per year with volume over this

subject to a 50% reduction from the current tariff,

and Avocados are moving to tariff-free access over

a 10yr period.
