PART I

Item 1. Exchange Act Reporting History

 

  A.

Granite Real Estate Investment Trust (“Granite”) first incurred the duty to file reports under Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) on December 31, 2012 when its registration statement on Form 40-F became effective in connection with the listing of its Stapled Units (each consisting of one unit of Granite and one common share of Granite REIT Inc.) on the New York Stock Exchange. On October 1, 2024 Granite completed a court approved plan of arrangement to replace Granite’s previous Stapled Unit structure with a conventional REIT trust unit structure. On October 3, 2024 the Stapled Units were delisted from the New York Stock Exchange and Granite’s Units began trading on the New York Stock Exchange.

 

  B.

Granite has filed or submitted all reports required under Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act and the corresponding Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules for the 12 months preceding the filing of this Form 15F, and has filed at least one annual report under Section 13(a) during this period.

Item 2. Recent United States Market Activity

Subject to the exceptions set forth in Instruction 1 to this Item, Granite’s securities were last sold in the United States in a registered offering under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended on May 3, 2022.

Granite registered equity securities on a shelf registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) on Form F-10 (File no. 333-277217), which Registration Statement became effective on February 21, 2024 and under which securities remained unsold. No securities were sold under the Registration Statement, including during the 12 months preceding the filing of this Form 15F. On October 7, 2024, Granite filed a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement to terminate the registration of unsold securities under the Registration Statement.

Item 3. Foreign Listing and Primary Trading Market

 

A.

Granite maintains a listing of the Units on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) in Canada. For the 12-month period beginning on December 1, 2024 and ending November 30, 2025, Canada constituted the primary trading market for the Units.

 

B.

The Units were initially listed on the TSX on October 3, 2024. Granite has maintained a listing of the Units on the TSX for at least the 12 months preceding the filing of this Form 15F.

 

C.

During the 12-month period beginning on December 1, 2024 and ending on November 30, 2025, the average daily trading volume of Units in Canada represented 95.51% of the average daily trading volume of Units on a worldwide basis

Item 4. Comparative Trading Volume Data

Granite’s trading volume data used to rely on Rule 12h-6(a)(4)(i) are as follows:

 

A.

The recent 12-month period used to meet the requirements of Rule 12h-6(a)(4)(i) is December 1, 2024 to November 30, 2025.

 

B.

During this 12-month period, the average daily trading volume of the Units in the United States and on a worldwide basis was 9,445 Units and 210,325 Units, respectively.

 

C.

For the same 12-month period, the average daily trading volume of Units in the United States represented 4.49% of the average daily trading volume of Units on a worldwide basis.


D.

Granite voluntary delisted the Units from the New York Stock Exchange, pursuant to Rule 12d2-2(c) under the Exchange Act, and in connection therewith filed a Form 25 with the SEC on December 22, 2025. The delisting became effective 10 days following the filing of the Form 25 on January 1, 2026 and, as of such date, the average daily trading volume of Units in the United States represented 4.47% of the average daily trading volume of Units on a worldwide basis for the preceding 12-month period.

 

E.

Not applicable.

 

F.

Granite used Bloomberg as the source of trading volume information (including for securities exchange and over-the-counter trading in the United States and worldwide) for purposes of determining whether it meets the requirements of Rule 12h-6.

Item 5. Alternative Record Holder Information

Not applicable.

Item 6. Debt Securities
