Update as at and for the quarter ending 30 June 2025

Booster Investment Scheme 2

Investment outlook

Returns to the Private Land & Property

Fund (Fund, PLPF) have been 3.6% on an

annualised basis over the three-year period to

30 June 2025, and 8.2% p.a. since inception.

The Fund aims to generate an average

long-term return of 6.5% p.a. after fees but

before tax over a rolling 7yr period. This Fund

objective is based on returns from income

and development gains as properties reach

full productive capability. Other returns to the

Fund can arise from property revaluations.

The general theme of the PLPF portfolio

is that of a two-paced situation. The Dairy

Farm and Kiwifruit sectors are experiencing

positive growth with sales volumes

suggesting growing confidence, while the

Viticulture and Avocado sectors remain

cautious in the near-term.

Cash returns

PLPF distribution to investors for the quarter to

June 30 2025 was 0.72 cents per unit and is fully

imputed, which is equivalent to a pre-tax payment

of 0.75% based on the PLPF unit price as at the

notice date of 12 June 2025.

We estimate that the Fund is generating annual

cash based pre-tax earnings of approximately

4.23% from current lease income and grape

supply contracts, also based off the unit price

at June 12 2025.

Development activity highlight:

Woodland Road Orchard

During the quarter the PLP Investment Committee

approved (subject to final details being addressed)

an additional investment to fund the conversion

of 5.01 hectares of Green Kiwifruit vines to Gold

Kiwifruit for the Woodland Road Orchard. The

reasoning behind this conversion is the higher price

and yield observed from Gold Kiwifruit and the

increased value attributable to the land it is grown

on. In the Bay of Plenty (where the Woodland Rd

Orchard is based), Green Kiwifruit land sales have

averaged around $384k per hectare for the last

24 months, while Gold Kiwifruit land sales have

averaged $777k per hectare and on occasion have

topped $1m per hectare. Any increase in value from

such a development will benefit PLPF unitholders.

Woodland Road Orchard cont.
The conversion process has multiple steps with

some of the key steps in the process including:

April:

• Harvest existing Green Kiwifruit

May:

• Successful bid for 5.01 hectares in the Zespri

Gold restricted licence auction

• Order new male plants (for pollination)

• Remove shelter

June/July:

• Remove vine canopy and replace leader wires

• Plant males

• Graft new Gold Kiwifruit plants onto existing

rootstock.

From a valuation perspective, the new Gold

Kiwifruit vines will take between 3-5 years to reach

full potential. We look forward to keeping investors

updated on these development gains in the future.

Initial forecasts from Zespri suggest a mid-point

of $11.75/tray for Gold Kiwifruit for the 2025/26

season, which is steady following $11.81/tray for

the 2024/25 season.

Other new development opportunities continue

to be explored by the PLP Investment Committee.

These value-add activities remain in focus,

particularly as our previous development property,

the Kerikeri Kiwifruit Orchard, has more-or-less

reached maturity with the 2025 harvest.

Valuation update: Iport Drive,

Rolleston

After a busy first quarter of valuation updates, the

previous quarter only saw our Rolleston warehouse

due for a valuation refresh in May. This valuation

was agreed as part of the Sale & Purchase in 2024.

The $1.25m valuation uplift required an equivalent

payment to the vendors (paid on 7 July 2025), so

this is neutral overall for PLPF investors.

However, given that most of the valuation uplift

was attributable to a CPI rent increase in April, we

are confident that this investment will continue to

provide stable returns.

Waimea West Hops:

New distribution partner

The 2025 harvest was positive for PLP’s investment

in Waimea West Hops (WWH), with approximately

76 tonnes harvested. Freestyle Hops, WWH’s new

distribution partner, has been selling the 2025

harvest into new customers in the U.S. & Europe.

Initial indications are that prices and volumes are

robust, with customers continuing to appreciate

the flavour and aroma characteristics of New

Zealand hops. WWH will continue to work with

Freestyle to ensure the best route-to-market for

its hops.

A further investment of $750k was made by PLP

into WWH to help WWH fund working capital

during the period of transition to Freestyle Hops.

Other WWH shareholders contributed $500k of

investment.

In a tragic turn of events, the death of Peter Lines

is devastating news to receive. Peter, a Tasman hop

farmer, died while clearing his farm after the recent

flooding event. He helped WWH on numerous

occasions when the business first started in the

industry. We pass on our condolences to Peter’s

family and friends.

Gearing Ratio2.0

The investment objective and strategy of the Wholesale Portfolio allows it to borrow

to invest in more land and properties or to develop land and properties it already

holds. Bank of New Zealand (BNZ) has provided a loan facility of up to 50% of

the value of the secured properties for use by the Wholesale Portfolio to effect its

gearing strategy which results in BNZ holding a security interest over most of the

assets held by the Wholesale Portfolio. For further information on the Wholesale

Portfolio, please refer to the Fund’s PDS and Other Material Information document.

The gearing ratio shows the level of borrowing the Wholesale Portfolio has

undertaken as a percentage of total assets.
