businesses listed on the NZX
+Stapling means permanently linking
two separate companies together,
so their shares are combined as a

+Positions our business to pursue new growth and
active investment opportunities through a separate
company;
+Facilitates further growth in our property funds
management business;
+Retains PIE tax status by holding our passive real
estate investments in a separate company
(Goodman New Zealand Limited) ;
+Maintains tax benefits for investors with dividends
from property ownership activities (which will
continue to receive tax-advantaged treatment as a
PIE distribution

) and new property and property
fund management and development activities
(which will be taxed as an ordinary dividend
2
); and
+Removes Trust Deed and FMC Act restrictions and
streamlines governance and compliance
processes, with corresponding cost savings.

Investors’ New Zealand tax is effectively capped at 28% even if they have a 33% or 39% personal tax rate.
2
Investors’ New Zealand tax will be charged at their top personal tax rate which could be as high as 39%.
If the proposed corporatisation and stapling transaction
does not proceed, GMT will continue to operate under its
current trust structure which will restrict certain strategic
opportunities and constrain our ability to advance income
diversification and further enhance earnings growth.

MEETING AGENDA
I will begin by outlining the purpose of today’s meeting and reviewing the
corporatisation and stapled structure proposal announced last month, before moving
on to the formal business.
~ 3 ~
.
MEETING PURPOSE
The purpose of today’s meeting is to consider the proposal for the corporatisation of
GMT and the move to a stapled structure for the business. The proposed change will
provide a modern corporate structure for the business and supports the delivery of our
long-term investment strategy.
This is an important meeting to seek your approval on the Extraordinary Resolution to
effect the change. At the conclusion of the meeting, we’ll invit e and questions from the
floor and online and ask Unitholders to consider and vote on the Extraordinary
Resolution.
The Directors unanimously believe this transaction is in the best interests for you, our
investors and will bring both immediate and long-term benefits to our business.
Now moving on to the background to the proposal.
BACKGROUND TO THE PROPOSAL
As you will recall, we successfully completed the internalisation of GMT in 2024. By
bringing our management in-house, we have strengthened alignment across the
business and set GMT up for the next phase of its business growth. Internalisation has
delivered significant benefits to the business, facilitating a broadening in our
investment strategy by enabling the establishment of a new property funds
management business and reducing operating costs.
Against this backdrop, and as outlined in our 2026 interim results last year, we have
been actively considering the corporatisation of GMT and a move to a stapled
structure.
PROPOSAL SUPPORTS GMT’S STRATEGIC DIRECTION
Given GMT’s strategic direction, expanding property funds management platform, and
increased active investment opportunities, the proposed structure offers the most
effective framework to support the delivery of our long-term investment strategy while
~ 4 ~
.
retaining Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE) status for the investment property portion of
the business.
With a substantial warehouse and logistics portfolio valued at $4.7 billion, including
external partnership assets under management, GMT’s investment strategy remains
focused on high quality real estate in core industrial property markets.
Following the successful launch and settlement of the new Highbrook Fund in
September 2025, the proposal facilitates further growth in our property funds
management business.
The proposal also positions our business to pursue a greater level of active investment
opportunities including continued investment into our development pipeline and
selective acquisitions, such as the recently announced acquisition of 5.1 hectares of
land at Felix Street in Onehunga.
With around 90% of the core portfolio developed since 2004 we have a proven
development track record and capability.
We also continue to position our business to capture further artificial intelligence and
technology-driven growth opportunities. With $20 million investment committed to
preliminary design and infrastructure works at Penrose Industrial Estate for potential
data centre development, we are ensuring a scalable solution that supports staged
development and greater optionality in a rapidly evolving market.
CORPORATISATION AND STAPLING STRUCTURE
In summary, corporatisation will provide a contemporary governance structure and
ongoing cost savings to the business and a stapled structure will allow a greater level
of active investment opportunities to be undertaken whilst retaining PIE status for the
passive investment property portion of the business.
The next slide illustrates the current and post transaction structure for Unitholders.
~ 5 ~
.
As you can see corporatisation will see GMT change from a unit trust to a company
structure, like most other businesses listed on the NZX.
Stapling means permanently linking two separate companies together, so their shares
are combined as a single investment. We propose to have two companies, one which
will hold passive real estate, as GMT does now, and the other which will pursue more
active investment opportunities and provide funds management services.
If the transaction is approved, instead of owning units in GMT, you will own shares in
two companies, namely Goodman New Zealand Limited and Goodman Property
Services (NZ) Limited, that are permanently linked – stapled, and trade together as
one security. The stapled shares will trade on the NZX under a single ticker code,
“GNZ”, as one combined security. Shareholders would be entitled to receive two
separate dividends – one from Goodman New Zealand Limited and one from
Goodman Property Services (NZ) Limited.
Importantly, your underlying investment remains the same.
Before we move onto the formal business of the meeting, I’ll briefly summarise the key
benefits of the proposal.
KEY BENEFITS OF THE PROPOSAL
As I’ve previously noted, the corporatisation of GMT and moving to a stapled structure
will provide our business with a modern corporate structure. It positions our business
to pursue new growth and active investment opportunities through a separate
company and will also facilitate further growth in our property funds management
business.
Importantly and as you will be aware, GMT currently has PIE status which provides
important tax benefits. Under the PIE regime, eligible New Zealand investors benefit
from the tax payable on distributions being effectively capped at 28% irrespective of
their personal tax rate. GMT is also able to pay out to investors any capital gains or
untaxed income free of New Zealand tax.
With GMT broadening its investment strategy to include more active property
investments, it is expected that it will generate income and hold investments that
~ 6 ~
.
include both qualifying and non-qualifying components for PIE purposes. If these
opportunities were pursued under the current structure, this would mean losing the
valuable tax benefits of GMT’s PIE status.
The proposal will also have the added benefit of remov ing Trust Deed and Financial
Markets Conduct Act restrictions and streamlines governance and compliance
processes, with corresponding cost savings.
If the proposed corporatisation and stapling transaction does not proceed, GMT will
continue to operate under its current trust structure which will restrict certain strategic
opportunities and constrain our ability to advance income diversification and further
enhance earnings growth.
SUMMARY
Before we move onto the Extraordinary Resolution, I would like to provide some
concluding remarks.
GMT continues to demonstrate the resilience of our warehouse and logistics portfolio
and the effectiveness of our operating model. The corporatisation and stapling
transaction will provide a modern corporate structure that will facilitate the delivery of
an active business strategy focused on sustainable earnings growth.
We are excited about the new growth opportunities and active investment opportunities
ahead and will leverage our strong and capable team, trusted customer relationships
and proven market expertise to continue delivering well-located and sustainable
warehouse and logistics facilities in the Auckland industrial market.
The Directors unanimously believe this transaction is in the best interests of you, our
investors and will bring both immediate and long-term benefits to our business.
I encourage you all to vote in favour of the Extraordinary Resolution to effect this
change.
Thank-you for joining, everyone. I’ll now move to the formal business of the meeting.
