VHP 29/06/2012 13:38 GENERAL REL: 1338 HRS Vital Healthcare Property Trust GENERAL: VHP: VHP Adjustment to Managed Investment Trust tax rate Adjustment to Managed Investment Trust tax rate Vital Healthcare Management Limited (the Manager), the manager of Vital Healthcare Property Trust (the Trust) today announced that it has been advised that the Australian Parliament has passed through the Senate an increase to the Managed Investment Trust tax rate from 7.5% to 15%, effective from 1 July 2012. The change from 7.5% to 15% will only be applicable to the Trust's assets that have been acquired since December 2010, including the Australian assets that were described in the Simplified Disclosure Prospectus issued in November 2010. In isolation, the increase will have an impact on the Trust's overall tax liability. However, when taking other factors into account including but not limited to; development returns, rental growth, interest rate environment, benefits of tax depreciation allowances on buildings in Australia and other initiatives, it is expected that the overall effect on earnings will be largely mitigated. The Trust will still continue to benefit from a relatively lower tax rate of 15% (relative to higher tax rates in the order of 28% - 30% in other jurisdictions) notwithstanding the imposition of this increase. The Board of the Manager confirms its previously stated position in relation to full year guidance for a net distributable income of 7.7 cents per unit for the 12 months to 30 June 2012. Guidance for 2013 will be given as part of the Trust's year end results to be announced in August. - ENDS - ENQUIRIES David Carr, Chief Executive Officer Vital Healthcare Management Ltd, Telephone 09 357 1818, Email [email protected] Stuart Harrison, Chief Financial Officer Vital Healthcare Management Ltd, Telephone 09 362 2332, Email [email protected] About Vital Healthcare Property Trust With a portfolio value of over NZ$550m, Vital Healthcare Property Trust (NZSX: VHP) is New Zealand's largest listed entity investing in medical and healthcare properties in Australasia.
