Dear Andrew

General Property Trust Request for Trading Halt

On behalf of GPT, I request a trading halt in the listed securities of GPT immediately.

In accordance with listing rule 17.1, I advise:

• the reason for the trading halt is to enable GPT to make an announcement to the market (a) concerning a proposal to be put to unitholders; ...
• $(b)$ GPT expects to make the announcement before the close of business today and wishes the trading to remain in place until such time as the announcement is made; and
• GPTML, as the responsible entity of GPT, is not aware of any reason why the trading halt $\left($ c) should not be granted.

If you have any queries concerning the above, please do not hesitate to contact me on 9237 5133 Yours sincerely
