Distribution Reinvestment Plan

GPT introduced a Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) to eligible securityholders in March 2007. The DRP was suspended from the September 2008 quarter with the announcement of the $1.6 billion equity raising and will not be available with respect to the June 09 quarterly distribution.

Under the terms of the DRP, eligible securityholders are able to elect to reinvest all or part of their quarterly distribution in additional stapled securities, free of any brokerage or other transaction costs, rather than being paid in cash. Securities are issued and/or transferred at a predetermined price, less any discount that the Directors may elect to apply from time to time. The DRP issue price was based on the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average price of GPT Group stapled securities traded on the Australian Securities Exchange for the ten business days preceding the relevant quarterly distribution record date, adjusted to an ex-dividend rate, of up to 1.5% discount rounded to the nearest cent.

Underwriting the Distribution Reinvestment Plan

GPT also entered into an underwriting agreement on 17 October 2007. Under this agreement GPT has the option to elect before each quarterly distribution payment whether to have that distribution underwritten. The terms of the agreement provide that the underwriter fully underwrites distribution payments in exchange for GPT stapled securities of the securityholders who had not elected to participate in the DRP.
