ASX ANNOUNCEMENT

INCREASE TO AND EXTENSION OF PRINCIPAL FACILITY

GDI[1] is pleased to announce that we have increased the size and extended the term of our Principal Facility[2] . Previously a $140.0 million[3] loan facility expiring 31 January 2021, the Principal Facility has been increased to $210.0 million[3] and now expires on 31 July 2022.

GDI has current drawn debt of $120.0 million. The increase in size of the Principal Facility gives us $85.0 million of liquidity to continue our asset management initiatives, settle 180 Hay Street, Perth[4] , and capitalise on the current market volatility.

COVID‐19

GDI has received some requests for rent relief across our portfolio of assets in both the Property and Funds Management divisions. We acknowledge the significant hardship a number of our tenants are currently facing and are working on financial solutions with these tenants on a case by case basis, adhering at a minimum to the principals of the commercial tenancy Code of Conduct.

We will amortise the cost of any rent relief provided over the term of the remaining (or in many cases extended) lease. However, we will separately report the quantum of rent relief provided with our 30 June Annual Financial Statements and our 31 December 2020 Half Yearly Financial Statements.

GDI No. 46 PROPERTY TRUST

As previously advised, on 14 February 2020, GDI No. 46 Property Trust[5] (the “ Trust ”) settled the acquisition of 17[6] dealerships and service centres located in metropolitan Perth. GDI Property Trust has taken an approximately 47.3% interest in the Trust.

Given the impact COVID‐19 is having on the tenant’s[7 ] business, the Trust has agreed to provide it with some rent relief. Although the specific terms of that rent relief remain confidential and is subject to formal documentation, it will result in a reduction to the forecast distribution for the June 2020 quarter, from 1.9375 cents per unit to approximately 0.9 cents per unit. Subject to no material change in circumstances, the forecast distributions for FY21 remain unchanged.

GDI is pleased to reconfirm that subject to no further material changes in circumstances, its FY20 distribution per security will be 7.75 cents, noting that 3.875 cents per security has been declared and paid for the first half.
