On 9 November 2025, the Manager, Northwest Healthcare Properties Management Limited
(Previous Manager), and certain unitholders of VHPT connected with Northwest
Healthcare Properties REIT, namely NWI Healthcare Properties LP, NWI NZ Management
Company Limited and Northwest NZ Finance Holdings Limited (together, Northwest)
entered into the Northwest Restricted Security Agreement in the form attached to a

Manager on 10 November 2025 (7 pages) (the Restricted Security Agreement).
100706732/3438-6689-9534.3 2
Under the Restricted Security Agreement, the Manager held a qualified power to control
the sale of, transfer, assignment or otherwise disposal of all units in VHPT held by
Northwest until 20 February 2026, the first business day after the release to NZX of Vital’s
results announcement for the half year ended 31 December 2025. The Previous Manager
ceased to hold its relevant interest when it was replaced by the Manager on 31 December
2025.
From 20 February 2026, under the Restricted Security Agreement, the Manager held a
qualified power to control the sale of, transfer, assignment or otherwise disposal of 10% of
the units in VHPT held by Northwest on 19 February 2026 (being 80,176,631 units) until
the earlier of (i) the first business day after the release to NZX of Vital’s results
announcement for the full year ended 30 June 2026; and (ii) 31 August 2026.
Since 20 February 2026, the holdings of Northwest were also diluted by VHPT issuing units
to third parties under VHPT’s distribution reinvestment plan. Accordingly, at the date of the
last notice (29 June 2026), the Manager’s relevant interest was diluted from 10% on 20
February 2026 to 9.934%.
On 13 August 2026, Vital released to the NZX its results announcement for the full year
ended 30 June 2026. Accordingly, the Manager’s qualified power under the Restricted
Security Agreement ceased on 14 August 2026, being the first business day after the
release of the results announcement. The Manager no longer holds any relevant interest in
any units in VHPT.
