THE GPT GROUP AGM NOTICE OF MEETING 2023 | 1

Chairman’s letter

Dear Securityholders,

I am pleased to provide you with details of The GPT Group’s 2023 Annual General Meeting (AGM) which will be held at 10:00am (Sydney time) on Wednesday 10 May 2023.

The AGM will be held at the Swissotel Sydney, 68 Market Street, Sydney NSW 2000. The AGM will also be webcast live at https://www.gpt.com.au/annual-general-meetings.

Business of the AGM

The Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director (CEO), Bob Johnston, and I will address the AGM before the formal items of business set out in the Notice of Meeting and associated Explanatory Memorandum are considered. This will be the last AGM for Bob as our CEO, following the announcement on 10 February 2023 that it is Bob’s intention to retire by the end of this year. As announced, a formal CEO search process has commenced to select a suitably qualified successor with the right leadership skills and experience to succeed Bob. Bob will continue as CEO until the commencement of his successor and will work closely with the Board to ensure a smooth transition.

Mark Menhinnitt, one of GPT’s Directors, will stand for re-election as an Independent Non-executive Director at the AGM. Mark Menhinnitt was appointed to GPT’s Board in October 2019. Given Mark’s significant investment management, construction, development and urban regeneration experience in real estate and infrastructure sectors he makes a valuable contribution to the Board. All the Directors (excluding Mark Menhinnitt) unanimously recommend Mark’s re-election.

Shane Gannon has been appointed to the Board effective 1 May 2023 and will be standing for election as an Independent Non-executive Director at the AGM. Shane is an experienced senior financial and property executive who the Board believes will bring complementary skills and experience to the Board. All of the Directors unanimously recommend Shane’s election to the Board.

Michelle Somerville has advised that she will step down from the Board at the conclusion of the AGM. Michelle has been a Director of GPT since 2015 and has made a significant contribution to the Board and the Committees on which she has served during her tenure.

Two resolutions relate to executive remuneration. The first of these resolutions seeks the approval of the Remuneration Report for the period to 31 December 2022. The Remuneration Report commences on page 50 of GPT’s 2022 Annual Report, which we encourage you to review in advance of the AGM. This and other reports are available on GPT’s website at https://www.gpt.com.au/investor-centre/resultsreports. The second of the executive remuneration resolutions relates to the granting of performance rights to Bob Johnston under the Long Term Incentive (LTI) scheme recognising that Bob will continue to be GPT’s CEO until the commencement of his successor and provide appropriate incentives for this period. Given that Bob will not be with GPT for the three year performance period, the vesting will be subject to Bob being employed for a minimum of six months from the commencement of the performance period and the number of Rights will be pro-rated at cessation of employment based on the proportion of the performance period that Bob is employed by the Group. Details of the 2023-2025 LTI grant of performance rights to Bob are set out in the Explanatory Memorandum accompanying the Notice of Meeting.

The fifth resolution relates to a proposed increase in the Non-executive Director Fee Pool. The Fee Pool includes all Board and Board Committee fees paid to Non-executive Directors and has not been increased since 2015. The reasons the Board believes an increase is a prudent decision are set out in the Explanatory Memorandum accompanying the Notice of Meeting.

The final resolutions seek approval to update the Constitutions for GPT Management Holdings Limited and the General Property Trust. The current Constitutions were last amended following securityholder approval at the 2014 Annual General Meeting, and following a number of regulatory changes and developments in general corporate and commercial practice for ASX listed entities, a review has been undertaken to make desired updates. We consider that the AGM is an important forum for Securityholders to meet the Board and senior management in person and to ask questions as well as to vote on items of business. Accordingly, the proposed changes to the Constitutions will not enable fully virtual meetings. Details of the proposed updates are set out in the Explanatory Memorandum accompanying the Notice of Meeting.

Voting and asking questions at the AGM

To vote at the 2023 AGM, you can attend in person and/or lodge a proxy in advance. Proxies must be received no later than 10:00am (Sydney time) on Monday 8 May 2023. You can lodge your proxy vote online through GPT’s registry website https://investorcentre.linkgroup. com/Login/Login. Further information on other methods for voting and proxy submission are outlined in the Notice of Meeting.

Subject to the abstentions set out in the Notice of Meeting, the Board recommends Securityholders vote in favour of each resolution to be considered at the AGM.

We welcome the opportunity to engage with our Securityholders during the AGM and encourage you to submit any questions you may have relating to the business of the AGM in advance of the AGM by emailing them to [email protected] or submitting at https://investorcentre.linkgroup.com/Login/Login no later than 5:00pm (Sydney time) on Wednesday 3 May 2023. We will endeavour to address the frequently asked questions during our presentations and during question time at the AGM.

At the conclusion of the AGM, I invite you to join the Board and our Leadership Team for refreshments. If you are unable to attend the AGM, we invite and encourage you to watch the live webcast online at https://www.gpt.com.au/annual-general-meetings.

I thank you for your continued support of GPT.

Yours sincerely

A hard copy Proxy Form must be signed by the Securityholder or their attorney or, in the case of a corporation, executed in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act or signed by an authorised officer or attorney. If the Proxy Form is signed by an attorney or by an authorised officer of a corporation, the power of attorney or other authority must be received by Link Market Services prior to the Meeting, unless it has been previously provided.

Your proxy does not need to be a Securityholder. You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies if you are entitled to cast two or more votes. If you appoint two proxies, you may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy is entitled to exercise. If you do not, each will be entitled to vote half of your votes. Where more than one proxy is appointed, neither proxy is entitled to vote on a show of hands. If you are appointing a proxy online and you wish to appoint a second proxy, please contact our registry, Link Market Services at [email protected].

Where a Securityholder appoints a body corporate as proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that:

  • » it appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the Meeting, in accordance with section 250D (for the meeting of the Company) and 253B (for the meeting of the Trust) of the Corporations Act; and

  • » the instrument appointing the corporate representative is received by GPT’s registry before the Meeting.

If you wish to indicate how your proxy should vote, please mark the appropriate boxes on the Proxy Form or in the voting directions page online. If in respect of any of the items of business you do not direct your proxy how to vote, you are authorising your proxy to vote as they decide, subject to any applicable voting exclusions. If you mark the abstain box for a particular item, you are directing your proxy not to vote on your behalf and your Stapled Securities will not be counted in computing the required majority on a poll. Please refer to the Proxy Form for further instructions.

The Chairman of the Meeting is deemed to be appointed where a signed Proxy Form is returned which does not contain the name of a proxy. In addition, if you direct your proxy how to vote but your nominated proxy does not attend the Meeting or vote on a poll on a resolution at the Meeting, the Chairman of the Meeting will act in place of the nominated proxy in respect of the relevant resolution and vote in accordance with any instructions.

For all resolutions that are directly or indirectly related to the remuneration of a member of the KMP (being Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 of this Notice of Meeting), the Corporations Act prohibits KMP (other than the Chairman of the Meeting) and their closely related parties from voting as your proxy unless you direct them how to vote. ‘Closely related party’ is defined in the Corporations Act and includes a spouse, dependant and certain other close family members, as well as any companies controlled by the KMP.

If the Chairman of the Meeting is your proxy, you can direct the Chairman of the Meeting to vote for or against, or to abstain from voting on a resolution by marking the appropriate box opposite the relevant item on the Proxy Form. However, if the Chairman of the Meeting is or becomes your proxy and you do not mark any of the boxes opposite Resolutions 3, 4 or 5, then by completing and returning the Proxy Form you will be expressly authorising the Chairman of the Meeting to vote as they see fit in respect of the relevant resolution even though it is connected with the remuneration of GPT’s KMP.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote available undirected proxies in favour of all resolutions.

THE GPT GROUP AGM NOTICE OF MEETING 2023 | 8

CONTINUED Explanatory Memorandum

Resolution 4: Grant of performance rights (Rights) to Robert Johnston (long term Incentive)

In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.14, GPT is seeking the approval of Securityholders for the proposed grant of Rights to Mr Johnston on the terms set out below. Mr Johnston is covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 because he is the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director (CEO) of the Company and a Director of the Responsible Entity of the Trust.

Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed entity must not issue securities to a Director under an employee incentive scheme unless Securityholder approval is first obtained. Approval is not required where the terms of the scheme under which the grants are made require that the underlying Stapled Securities are purchased onmarket. While GPT’s current practice is to satisfy vested Rights with Stapled Securities that have been purchased on-market, GPT is seeking Securityholder approval so that it has flexibility to issue Stapled Securities to satisfy vested Rights where appropriate.

Mr Johnston, as part of his contractual entitlements, participates each year in GPT’s long term incentive (LTI) plan. The LTI is structured to reward long-term performance and is delivered as Rights which vest at the end of year three if performance hurdles are achieved. It is the current intention that Mr Johnston will retire from his role by the end of 2023. Rights will be issued to Mr Johnston at the grant date, which will be after approval (if received) at this AGM, and the vesting will be on the condition that Mr Johnston has been employed for a minimum of six months from the commencement of the performance period, being 1 January 2023. However the number of Rights will be prorated at cessation of employment based on the proportion of the performance period that he is employed by the Group.

On cessation of employment, the pro-rata grant will remain on foot and be treated in accordance with his employment terms. It will be tested in the ordinary course at the end of the performance period in 2025, aligning Mr Johnston’s interests with those of Securityholders. Mr Johnston has led GPT with a long-term focus and the value of the Rights on vesting will be determined against outcomes for which he has been and will, through the remainder of his tenure as CEO, be a key contributor.

Terms and conditions

If Securityholder approval is obtained, the Rights which are subject to performance conditions over the three year period from 2023 to 2025 will be granted:

  • » as part of Mr Johnston’s LTI remuneration;

  • » under the terms of The GPT Group Stapled Security Rights Plan (Plan); and

  • » at no cost to Mr Johnston, and no amount is payable on vesting of the Rights if performance conditions are met.

Each Right is a conditional entitlement to one fully paid Stapled Security in GPT that will rank equally with those traded on the ASX (unless the Board decides in its discretion to make an equivalent cash payment). Rights do not carry any distribution or voting rights.

Calculation of the number of Rights

It is proposed that 504,248 Rights will be granted to Mr Johnston. This number is equivalent to his 2023 stretch LTI opportunity of $2,190,000, divided by the 30-day volume-weighted average price of GPT Stapled Securities up to and including 31 December 2022 (being $4.3431) as shown below:

$2,190,000

= 504,248 Rights $4.3431

As noted above, a pro-rata amount of the Rights will be forfeited once the timing of Mr Johnston’s retirement has been determined. Key terms of the LTI award are described below. The Plan can be amended by the Board, subject to the ASX Listing Rules.

Performance measures

The Board has determined that the Rights to be granted to Mr Johnston (if approval is received) will be subject to two performance conditions, outlined below. These performance conditions will be assessed over a three year performance period starting on 1 January 2023 and ending on 31 December 2025 (Performance Period).

Each performance measure will be tested against one half of the Rights to be granted to Mr Johnston under this resolution.

  • » Total Return (TR) – This measure will be calculated annually during the Performance Period as the sum of the change in Net Tangible Assets (NTA) plus distributions each year, divided by the NTA at the beginning of the year. The annual results will then be used to calculate the time weighted compound TR for the three year Performance Period, and it is this result that will be compared against the TR range to determine a vesting outcome.

  • For the 2023 grant, the TR range is between 6% and 8.5% over the three year period. Vesting will be determined on a sliding scale, with 10% vesting at 6% TR and 100% vesting at 8.5% TR. Between these points, the level of vesting will be calculated on a straight-line basis.

  • » Relative Total Securityholder Return (TSR) – This measure compares GPT’s TSR performance with the TSR performance of the ASX 200 A-REIT Accumulation Index (excluding GPT and Goodman Group) (the Index) over the Performance Period. TSR represents an investor’s return, calculated as the percentage difference between the initial amount invested in Stapled Securities and the final value of those Stapled Securities at the end of the relevant period, assuming distributions were reinvested, or such other method of calculation as determined by the Board.

Vesting will occur as follows:

Relative performance of Percent vesting of
GPT’s TSR against the Index TSR hurdled Rights
Below Index performance 0% vesting
Threshold Index performance 10% vesting
Maximum Index performance plus
10% over the three year
period
100% vesting
Between Threshold and Straight line vesting
Maximum between 10% and 100%

THE GPT GROUP AGM NOTICE OF MEETING 2023 | 9

CONTINUED Explanatory Memorandum

Taken together, these performance measures create an LTI scheme that is aligned to GPT’s strategy to deliver sustained, superior returns in the following manner:

  • » The TR measure assesses total returns from real estate over the long term. It provides a focus on ensuring that GPT’s portfolio is adding value from both an investment and an income perspective.

  • » Relative TSR performance measures GPT’s ability to deliver superior Securityholder returns relative to its peers and competitors in the A-REIT sector.

There will be no re-testing of performance at the end of the Performance Period for any grants made under this resolution. Any Rights that do not vest on testing will lapse.

Trading of securities once vested

Any dealing in Stapled Securities will be subject to GPT’s Securities Trading Policy.

In addition, Mr Johnston is required to comply with the Group’s Minimum Security Holding Policy when dealing in Stapled Securities.

Change of control

If a change of control event occurs, for example by way of a takeover of GPT or scheme of arrangement, the Board may determine that some or all Rights granted to Mr Johnston will vest, having regard to relevant performance indicators. Alternatively, the Board may determine that any unvested Rights will lapse or be exchanged for a grant of new rights and/or securities in replacement in respect of any body corporate or other entity, as determined by the Board.

Clawback and Malus

The Board may modify remuneration outcomes as a result of adverse circumstances that arise or become known after remuneration has been granted, paid or vested. Awards may also be adjusted, cancelled or clawed back if a trigger event occurs.

Other information required by the ASX Listing Rules

In relation to the Plan:

  • » Mr Johnston is the only Director entitled to participate in the Plan.

  • » There is no loan scheme in relation to the Rights.

  • » As outlined in the table below, Mr Johnston has previously been granted a total of 3,050,676 Rights as long term incentives under the Plan. The Rights were granted at no cost to Mr Johnston, and no amount is payable on vesting of the Rights.

2015 430,476 358,543
  • » The reasons why GPT uses Rights as its LTI instrument include:

  • they are well understood by the market and by executives.

  • alignment between executive and Securityholder experience, and

  • no value is derived unless GPT meets or exceeds performance measures over the three year period (Rights lapse if they do not vest).

  • » Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in GPT’s Annual Report relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after this resolution is approved and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

If approval is received, it is the intention of the Board that the Rights will be granted to Mr Johnston as soon as is practicable following the Meeting, but in any event, no later than 12 months after the date of the Meeting. If Securityholder approval is not received, the Board will consider alternative arrangements to appropriately remunerate and incentivise Mr Johnston.

RECOMMENDATION

THE DIRECTORS (OTHER THAN MR JOHNSTON) UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMEND THAT SECURITYHOLDERS VOTE IN FAVOUR OF RESOLUTION 4.

Resolution 5: Non-executive Director Fee Pool increase ASX Listing Rule 10.17 provides that a listed entity must not increase the total aggregate amount of directors’ fees payable to all its Non-executive Directors without Securityholder approval.

Rule 50(b) of GPT Management Holdings Limited’s Constitution also provides that GPT Securityholders must approve any increase to the total amount of directors’ fees payable in a general meeting.

Securityholders are being asked to approve an increase in the maximum annual aggregate amount of remuneration that may be paid to GPT’s Non-executive Directors (Fee Pool) from $1.8 million to $2.2 million, being an increase of $400,000. The current Fee Pool limit of $1.8 million was approved by GPT’s Securityholders at the 5 May 2015 Annual General Meeting.

The Fee Pool includes all Board and Board Committee fees paid to Non-executive Directors, including superannuation contributions made on behalf of Non-executive Directors.

Details of the fees paid to Non-executive Directors, including Board Committee fees, are set out in the Remuneration Report of GPT’s 2022 Annual Report.

The Board currently comprises six Non-executive Directors and one executive director. The Board and Committee fees paid to GPT’s Non-executive Directors for the years ended 31 December 2021 and 31 December 2022 totalled $1,554,778 and $1,538,231, respectively. The rationale for the proposed increase in the Fee Pool is primarily to:

  • » maintain appropriate headroom capacity to allow the Board to undertake orderly succession of Non-executive Director retirements and appointments, including during transitional periods where there might be an overlap between Director terms;

  • » allow the Board to increase the number of Non-executive Directors;

  • » continue to provide the Board with strategic flexibility to make additional Board appointments, if and when required; and

  • » establish special Committees of the Board from time to time to deal with significant transactions and due diligence activities which may involve the performance of additional services or duties for which Non-executive Directors are entitled to be paid.

This Fee Pool is a maximum limit only. While GPT is seeking to increase the Fee Pool limit, if the increase in the Fee Pool is approved by Securityholders, the Board does not currently intend to use the full Fee Pool.

If this Resolution 5 is approved by Securityholders, the Fee Pool will increase to $2.2 million. If this Resolution 5 is not approved, the Fee Pool will remain at $1.8 million and the Board will not have the flexibility described above, and any future Non-executive Directors appointments and fees will need to be assessed within the current Fee Pool.

The proposed increase in the Fee Pool does not impact the remuneration arrangements of the CEO. As an Executive Director, the CEO does not receive separate Director’s fees in addition to the remuneration package received in his executive capacity.

No GPT securities have been issued to the Non-executive Directors under ASX Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 at any time in the last three years.

Voting exclusion

A voting exclusion applies to this resolution, as set out in the Notice of Meeting under the heading ‘Voting Exclusions’.

RECOMMENDATION

AS THE NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTORS HAVE AN INTEREST IN THE OUTCOME OF THIS ITEM, THE BOARD DOES NOT BELIEVE IT IS APPROPRIATE TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION TO SECURITYHOLDERS AS TO HOW TO VOTE ON THIS RESOLUTION.
