GENERAL MATTERS

This Annual Information Form contains information about both Granite Real Estate Investment Trust and Granite REIT Inc. The trust units of Granite REIT ("REIT Units") and the common shares of Granite GP ("GP Shares") trade as stapled units (‘‘Stapled Units’’), each consisting of one REIT Unit and one GP Share. The Stapled Units are listed on the TSX under the symbol ‘‘GRT.UN’’ and on the NYSE under the symbol ‘‘GRP.U’’.

Date of Information

Information in this AIF is dated as of December 31, 2023, unless otherwise indicated.

Note Regarding Financial Information

Financial information of Granite REIT and Granite GP is presented on a combined basis as permitted under exemptions granted by applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities. Accordingly, throughout this Annual Information Form, unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise indicates, ‘‘Granite’’ refers to the combined Granite REIT and Granite GP and their subsidiaries.

Except as otherwise noted, financial data included in this Annual Information Form has been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board. This Annual Information Form should be read in conjunction with the combined financial statements and appended notes, and management’s discussion and analysis, each of which appear in Granite’s annual report for 2023 and are available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.com. Granite refers to Canadian dollars as ‘‘dollars’’ or ‘‘$’’, United States dollars as "US dollars", “US$” or ‘‘USD’’ and Euros as ‘‘EUR’ or "€". Granite publishes its financial statements in Canadian dollars.

Non-IFRS Measures and Non-IFRS Ratios

In addition to using financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS, Granite also uses certain non-IFRS measures and non-IFRS ratios in managing its business to measure financial and operating performance as well as for capital allocation decisions and valuation purposes. Granite believes that providing these measures on a supplemental basis to the IFRS results is helpful to investors in assessing the overall performance of Granite’s business. These non-IFRS measures and non-IFRS ratios include the total debt and net debt and the net leverage ratio.

Total debt is a non-IFRS performance measure calculated as the sum of all current and non-current debt, the net mark to market fair value of cross currency interest rate swaps and lease obligations as per the combined financial statements. Net debt subtracts cash and cash equivalents from total debt. Granite believes that it is useful to include the cross currency interest rate swaps and lease obligations for the purposes of monitoring Granite's debt levels.

The net leverage ratio is a non-IFRS ratio that Granite believes is useful in evaluating Granite's degree of financial leverage, borrowing capacity and the relative strength of its balance sheet. Readers are cautioned that total debt, net debt and net leverage ratio do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under IFRS and, therefore, should not be construed as an alternative to net income, cash provided by operating activities or any other measure calculated in accordance with IFRS. Additionally, because these terms do not have a standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, they may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other reporting issuers. The net leverage ratio is calculated as the carrying value of total debt less cash and cash equivalents, divided by the fair value of investment properties (excluding assets held for sale).

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 3

Total debt, net debt and net leverage ratio are calculated from the audited combined financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2023 as follows:


As at December 31, 2023		(in millions)

BUSINESS OVERVIEW

Granite is a Canadian-based real estate investment trust engaged in the acquisition, development, ownership and management of logistics, warehouse and industrial properties in North America and Europe. As at February 28, 2024, Granite owns 143 investment properties in five countries having approximately 62.9 million SF of gross leasable area.

Granite provides REIT Unitholders and GP Shareholders with stable cash flow growth generated by revenue it derives from the ownership of and investment in income-producing real estate properties. It strives to maximize long term unit value through the execution of its long-term strategy of building an institutional quality and globally diversified industrial real estate business. Underpinning this strategy, Granite seeks to grow and diversify its asset base through acquisitions, development, re-development and dispositions; to drive organic growth through leasing execution and asset management; maintain a conservative balance sheet; and to reduce its exposure to its largest tenant, Magna, and the special purpose properties.

Granite has positioned itself financially to execute on its strategic plan including to capitalize on acquisition and development opportunities within its targeted geographic footprint as well as benefit from a net leverage ratio of 33% and as of February 28, 2024, liquidity of approximately $1.1 billion. Granite believes this favourable liquidity position and continued conservative leverage will facilitate Granite’s near-term objectives to drive net asset value growth through development and opportunistic acquisitions and execute on its long-term strategy of building an institutional quality and globally diversified industrial real estate business.

As at December 31, 2023, Magna, a diversified global automotive supplier, was the tenant at 27 of Granite’s income-producing properties and lease payments under those leases represented approximately 26% of Granite’s annualized revenue. See ‘‘— Magna, Granite’s Largest Tenant’’.

Granite believes that its existing portfolio of Magna-tenanted properties provides a level of stability for its business. Six of Granite’s seven special purpose properties are occupied exclusively by Magna in Canada and Austria. Magna has invested significant capital in these active production facilities making it expensive to relocate. The special purpose attributes of these properties may make it more difficult to lease to future tenants should Magna vacate (see ‘‘Risk Factors’’), but with a weighted average remaining lease term of 7.4 years as at December 31, 2023, they also present the opportunity for a stable and, relative to distribution/ e-commerce, industrial/warehouse or flex/office properties, enhanced rental income stream. See ‘‘— Magna, Granite’s Largest Tenant’’. On balance, the risk profile of the special purpose properties is substantially similar to that of Granite’s distribution/e-commerce, industrial/ warehouse and flex/office properties.

Land Held for Development

As of December 31, 2023, Granite’s land held for development includes: (i) 12.9 acres of development land in West Jefferson, Ohio; (ii) the remaining 36.0 acre parcel of land in Brantford, Ontario, for the development of a multi-phased business park, comprising a total of approximately 0.6 million SF of modern distribution and logistics space upon completion; and (iii) 10.1 acres of land in Brant County, Ontario for the development of a 0.2 million SF modern distribution facility.

Properties Under Development

As at December 31, 2023, the attributes of Granite’s properties under development and expansion projects were as follows:

(1) Construction cost excludes cost of land.

Development, Expansion and Improvement Projects

Capital expenditures can include development expenditures or expansions as well as maintenance or improvement capital expenditures. Development or expansion capital expenditures are discretionary in nature (until such time as Granite has committed to a construction contract or lease) and are incurred to generate new revenue streams and/or increase the productivity of a property as well as drive net asset value creation. As at December 31, 2023, Granite had three active development projects in Canada and the U.S. and two expansion projects in Canada and Netherlands, expected to cost approximately $99 million

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 35

(excluding the cost of land) and deliver approximately 2.6 million SF of incremental GLA. Maintenance or improvement capital expenditures relate to sustaining the existing earnings capacity of a property. During 2023, there were $8.4 million in maintenance or improvement capital expenditures made by Granite related to minor improvement projects at various properties.

For most development or construction projects, Granite uses its in-house experience or where appropriate, partners with local developers through development management agreements or joint venture arrangements to construct and manage specific elements of a project to maximize returns and minimize construction costs. On the remainder of its projects, Granite outsources design and construction. Depending on the nature and location of the project, Granite either manages construction with regular on-site supervision by its employees, or remotely through cost, scope of work and other management control systems. Granite does not have long-term contractual commitments with its contractors, subcontractors, consultants or suppliers of materials, who are generally selected on a competitive bid basis.

Foreign Exchange

As at December 31, 2023, approximately 84% of Granite’s revenue was denominated in foreign currencies. As Granite reports its financial results in Canadian dollars and does not currently hedge all of its non-Canadian dollar net operating income, foreign currency fluctuations can have a material impact on Granite’s financial results. See "Risk Factors – Risks Relating to Granite's Business – Foreign Currency".

Leasing Arrangements

Leases

Granite’s leases generally provide that the tenant is responsible for all costs of occupancy, including operating costs, property taxes, the costs of maintaining insurance in respect of the property, maintenance costs and non-structural replacement costs. The tenant is not responsible for income taxes or capital taxes charged to Granite.

Granite’s leases generally provide that Granite is responsible, at its own expense, for structural repairs and replacements relating to the structural, non-process related elements of its properties. For certain components of a property, such as the roof membrane, paved areas and non-process related HVAC systems, the majority of Granite’s leases provide that Granite pays for the costs of replacement as necessary and, in some of those cases, recovers such costs, plus interest, from the tenant over the expected useful life of the item replaced, as additional rent during the term of the lease.

Contractual Rental Escalations

A majority of Granite’s existing leases provide for periodic rent escalations based either on fixed- rate step increases or on the basis of a consumer price index adjustment.

Renewal Options

A majority of Granite’s existing leases include built-in renewal options, generally tied to either market rental rates or to the existing rent plus an increase based upon a consumer price index adjustment. In cases where the renewal is linked to market rates, the determination of market rent is, failing agreement, generally subject to arbitration.

36 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

Surrender Obligations

Granite’s leases generally provide that the tenant is obligated to surrender the premises to a condition consistent with the condition on the commencement date of the lease, subject to reasonable wear and tear.

The majority of Granite’s leases provide that, if requested by the landlord, the tenant is obligated to remove any alterations to the premises carried out over the term of the lease.

Environmental Obligations

Granite’s leases also generally provide that the tenant must maintain the properties in accordance with applicable laws, including environmental laws, and that the tenant must remove all hazardous and toxic substances from the premises when and as required by applicable laws, regulations and ordinances and, in any event, prior to the termination of its occupation of the premises. Substantially all of Granite’s leases also require the tenant to assume the costs of environmental compliance, including remediation or clean-up of any contamination that they have caused or contributed to on the leased premises. The leases generally also contain indemnities in Granite’s favour with respect to environmental matters. In certain circumstances, these indemnities expire after a specified number of years following the termination of the lease. Despite the tenants’ obligation to indemnify Granite, Granite is also responsible under applicable law for ensuring that its properties are in compliance with environmental laws. See ‘‘Risk Factors’’— Risks Relating to Granite’s Business — Environmental Matters’’.

The leases generally provide that Granite may conduct environmental assessments and audits from time to time at its sole expense. See ‘‘— Government Regulation’’.

Most of Granite’s leases with Magna include a right of refusal in favour of the tenant with respect to the sale of the property in question. This right typically provides the tenant with a right to match any third party offer within a prescribed period of time, failing which Granite is free to accept the offer and complete the sale to the third party. Some of Granite’s leases with Magna provide that so long as the tenant is controlled, directly or indirectly, by Magna, Granite may not sell the property to a competitor of the tenant without the tenant’s consent. In addition, several of Granite’s non-Magna leases contain a first right in favour of the tenant to purchase the related property in the event Granite intends to sell such property.

Tenant Assignment and Subletting Rights

Granite’s leases generally include a restriction on assignment or subletting by the tenant without Granite’s consent, other than in connection with certain permitted transfers such as an assignment or sublease to an affiliate of the tenant or in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the tenant’s assets. Granite’s leases do not generally restrict a change of control of the tenant. In the majority of cases, the original tenant and/or any guarantor is not released from its obligations under the leases upon assignment, sublease or change of control.

Government Regulation

Granite is subject to a wide range of laws and regulations imposed by governmental authorities, including zoning, building and similar regulations that affect its real estate holdings and tax laws and regulations in the various jurisdictions in which Granite operates.

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 37

Employees

As at December 31, 2023, Granite employed 69 people, the majority of whom are based at its headquarters in Toronto, and the balance of whom are located in Austria, Netherlands and the United States. Granite is not party to any collective bargaining agreements with any of its employees.

Magna, Granite’s Largest Tenant

As at December 31, 2023, Magna was the tenant at 27 of Granite’s income-producing properties and comprised 26% of Granite’s annualized revenue and 19% of Granite’s gross leasable area. According to its public disclosures, Magna International Inc. has a credit rating of A3 with a stable outlook by Moody’s Investor Service, Inc. (“Moody’s”), A (low) credit rating with a stable outlook by DBRS Morningstar and A- credit rating with a stable outlook by Standard & Poor’s. Magna is a global mobility technology company with complete vehicle engineering and contract manufacturing expertise. Magna’s product capabilities include body, chassis, exteriors, seating, powertrain, active driver assistance, electronics, mechatronics, mirrors, lighting and roof systems.

For information on the conditions affecting the automotive industry and Magna’s results of operations, Granite encourages investors to consult Magna’s public disclosure, including its most recent Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position and its annual information form. None of those documents or their contents, however, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Annual Information Form. Granite expects Magna to continuously seek to optimize its global manufacturing footprint and consequently, Magna may or may not renew leases for facilities currently under lease at their expiries.

Granite’s relationship with Magna is an arm’s length landlord and tenant relationship governed by the terms of Granite’s leases with Magna. Granite’s properties are generally leased to operating subsidiaries of Magna International Inc. and are not guaranteed by the parent company; however, Magna International Inc. is the tenant under certain of Granite’s leases.

ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL, GOVERNANCE AND RESILIENCE (ESG+R)

Transparency is a critical component of Granite’s sustainability commitment. In June 2020, Granite published an ESG overview which provided investors with a progress report against the principles outlined in its Sustainability Plan. In August 2023, Granite issued its third corporate responsibility report, Granite ESG+R Report 2022, which established over 15 different targets for Granite to pursue over the short, medium, and long term, including targets relating to: (i) reductions in landlord-controlled operational energy, water usage and greenhouse gas emissions, (ii) establishing on-site renewable energy installations on Granite’s properties, (iii) increasing the proportion of Granite’s portfolio that has obtained third-party green building certifications, and (iv) increasing energy, water, and waste data coverage among Granite’s tenants.

Granite recognizes the important role building owners can play in fostering the efficient use of resources and respecting our environment. As a good steward for investors, Granite seeks to practically incorporate sustainability in its actions and decision-making process, while generating returns for unitholders.

38 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

Consistent with this principle, Granite applies the following long-term ESG+R objectives in its business:


Environmental	Social	Governance	Resilience

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 39

Below is a selection of key actions and performance items of Granite’s ESG+R Program:

Environmental — Actions & Performance

•Work to reduce landlord-controlled energy, operational emissions (scope 1 and 2), and water by 25% on an intensity basis, per square foot, by the beginning of 2030 (or 2.5% annual reduction) at Granite’s properties1;

•Increase the energy, emissions, water and waste data coverage across Granite’s portfolio to 50% of its income-producing portfolio by 2030 by collaborating with tenants, implementing green lease language, and obtaining data directly from the utility companies whenever available;

•Granite is on track to meet its updated target to support the production of new renewable energy through the installation of on-site solar PV systems with the capacity to generate 24 MW of electricity by 20252 as solar PV systems with peak generation capacity of 22.79 MW are currently operational on Granite properties;

•Four beehives have been installed on Granite’s behalf at three properties to promote local biodiversity and engagement with tenants;

•Commit that all development projects controlled by Granite will be built to standards consistent with the scope of Granite’s Green Bond Framework and certify 100% of new developments to a third-party green building certification standard (such as LEED, BREEAM, Green Globes, DGNB). On October 12, 2023, Granite issued its third green bond, the 2029 Debentures, increasing Granite’s total green bond issuances to a total of $1.4 billion;

•All properties were sent an annual ESG+R metrics survey in the first quarter of 2023. The survey is used to identify the sustainability initiatives implemented at each property over the past year, including those initiated by tenants. A few highlights from the year ended December 31, 2022 include LED lighting installed at 24 properties, irrigation efficiency projects completed at 8 properties, and waste audits conducted at 11 properties, promoting energy savings, water optimization, and sustainable waste management; and

•Granite has exceeded the target to strategically evaluate and pursue applicable green building certifications at Granite’s properties and achieve 30% third-party green building certifications by floor area by 2030. Currently, 44% of Granite's properties by GLA or 35% by income producing property count have received third-party green building certifications.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in securities of Granite involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information contained in this Annual Information Form, investors should carefully consider the following risk factors before investing in securities of Granite. The occurrence of any of the following risks could have a material adverse effect on Granite’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Other risks and uncertainties that are not known to Granite or that Granite believes are not material may also have a material adverse effect on Granite’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Risks Relating to Granite’s Business

Tenant Concentration

Although one element of Granite’s strategy is to diversify and reduce its exposure to Magna by increasing the proportion of lease revenue that it derives from other tenants, as at December 31, 2023, 27 of Granite’s 137 income-producing properties were leased to Magna. As at December 31, 2023, payments under those leases represented approximately 26% of Granite’s annualized revenue and approximately 19% based on gross leasable area.

Granite’s properties are generally leased to operating subsidiaries of Magna International Inc. and are not guaranteed by the parent company, however, Magna International Inc. is the tenant under certain of Granite’s leases. As a result, Granite may not have the contractual right to proceed directly against Magna International Inc. in the event that one of these subsidiaries defaults on its lease. Granite could be materially adversely affected if any Magna subsidiaries become unable to meet their respective financial obligations under their leases, and if Magna International Inc. is unwilling or unable to provide funds to such subsidiaries for the purpose of enabling them to meet such obligations.

Granite encourages investors to consult Magna’s public disclosure for information on factors affecting the business of Magna, including the factors described in the section on industry trends and risks in Magna’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Position prepared as at November 2, 2023.

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 47

Automotive Industry

Although Granite intends to continue to increase the proportion of lease revenue it derives from tenants other than Magna, Granite’s business is subject to conditions affecting the automotive industry generally due to its exposure to Magna as its largest tenant.

The global automotive industry is cyclical. A worsening of economic, political, or other conditions of the global economy may result in lower consumer confidence, which typically translates into lower vehicle sales and production levels. Examples of factors which often reduce consumer confidence include: worsening economic, political, and other conditions; military conflict; increasing inflation (particularly fuel and energy prices); and rising interest rates. Also, Magna’s business is primarily dependent on car and light truck production by its customers in North America, Europe and China. A significant or sustained decline in vehicle production volumes in these regions may have an adverse impact on Magna’s operations. Further, consumer demand for vehicles faces growing challenges related to vehicle affordability. These challenges stem from various factors, including the higher prices of electric vehicles ("EVs"), rising interest rates leading to increased vehicle financing costs, inflationary cost increases and limited vehicle supply. In addition, the automotive industry is transitioning from vehicles powered by internal combustion engines (“ICE”) to EVs. This transition is affecting vehicle production volumes, as the penetration rates of EVs differ regionally. Consumers may also be hesitant to purchase new vehicles during this transition due to factors such as cost considerations and concerns about EV infrastructure. Collectively, these dynamics impact the overall demand for vehicles. Additionally, the automotive industry is highly competitive, with competitors to Magna growing market share more rapidly than Magna in certain product or geographic markets and electronics, semiconductor chip and contract manufacturing companies entering or expanding their presence in the automotive industry. Each of these risks, among others, could have a material adverse effect on Magna, its customers and suppliers and, in turn, on Granite’s profitability and financial condition. A decrease in the long-term profitability or viability of the automotive industry would have a material adverse impact on Granite’s properties and its operating results.

Adverse Global Market, Economic and Political Conditions and Other Events Beyond Granite’s Control

Adverse Canadian, U.S., European and global market and economic conditions, including dislocations and volatility in the credit markets, general global economic uncertainty, inflation and heightened interest rates, have the potential to impact, among others; (i) the value of Granite's properties; (ii) the availability or the terms of financing that Granite has or may anticipate utilizing; (iii) Granite’s ability to make principal and interest payments on, or refinance any outstanding debt when due; and (iv) the ability of Granite’s tenants to enter into new leasing transactions or to satisfy rental payments under existing leases.

Credit Risk

Granite may incur losses resulting from a failure of a tenant to meet its payment obligations. Granite’s financial condition and operating results would be adversely affected if Magna or a significant number of other tenants became unable to meet their financial obligations to Granite. Furthermore, a rejection or termination of a lease under the protection of bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws, could cause a temporary reduction of Granite’s cash flow.

Geographic Exposure

During 2023, 58% of Granite’s revenue was generated in the United States, 15% in Canada, and 27% in Europe, comprised of 12% in Austria, 7% in Germany and 8% in Netherlands.

48 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

Operating in different regions and countries exposes Granite to political, economic and other risks as well as multiple foreign regulatory requirements that are subject to change, including:

• consequences from changes in tax laws and treaties, including restrictions on the repatriation of funds;

• downturns in countries or geographic regions where Granite has significant operations;

• economic tensions between governments and changes in international trade and investment policies;

• regulations restricting Granite’s ability to do business in certain countries;

• local regulatory compliance requirements; and

• political and economic instability, natural calamities, war, and terrorism.

The effects of these risks may, individually or in the aggregate, materially adversely affect Granite’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Foreign Currency

A majority of Granite’s revenue is not denominated in Canadian dollars. Since Granite reports its financial results in Canadian dollars and does not currently hedge all of its non-Canadian dollar rental revenues, Granite is subject to foreign currency fluctuations that could, from time to time, have a material adverse impact on Granite’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

From time to time, Granite may attempt to hedge its exposure to the impact that changes in foreign currency rates or interest rates may have on Granite’s revenue and liabilities through the use of derivative financial instruments. The use of derivative financial instruments, including forwards, futures, swaps, collars and options, in Granite’s risk management strategy carries certain risks, including the risk that losses on a hedge position will reduce income. A hedge may not be effective in eliminating all the risks inherent in any particular position. Additionally, nearly all of Granite’s outstanding debt is denominated in foreign currencies, and Granite, at times, uses derivatives to more naturally hedge its non-Canadian cash inflows. Granite’s profitability may also be adversely affected during any period as a result of the use of derivatives.

Environmental Matters

Some of Granite’s tenants engage in industrial operations using hazardous materials. Under various federal, state, provincial and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations, a current or previous owner, an occupier or previous occupier, and their directors and officers, may be liable for costs to remove and remediate contaminants at an affected property, as well as at off-site affected properties. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner or occupier knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of the contaminants. In addition, the presence of contaminants and hazardous building materials (such as asbestos) or the requirement to remediate, may materially impair the value of Granite’s properties and adversely affect its ability to borrow by using affected properties as collateral. Certain environmental laws and common law principles can impose liability for contamination, and third parties may seek to recover from owners and prior owners and their directors and officers for damages. As an owner and prior owner of properties, Granite and its directors and officers are subject to these potential liabilities.

Capital and operating expenditures necessary to comply with environmental laws and regulations, to defend against claims and to remediate contaminated property may have a material adverse effect on Granite’s operating results and its financial condition. To date,

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 49

environmental laws and regulations have not had a material effect on Granite’s operations or its financial condition. However, Granite is subject to ever more stringent environmental standards as a result of enhanced environmental regulation and increased environmental enforcement, compliance with which may have a material adverse effect on Granite’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. Granite cannot predict the future costs that it may be required to incur to meet its environmental obligations.

On occasion, tenants’ operations and Granite’s properties may become the subject of complaints from adjacent landowners, or inquiries or investigations by environmental regulators. Almost all of the instances of such complaints, inquiries or investigations by environmental regulators have been addressed by Granite’s tenants pursuant to the terms of the relevant leases. In the past, Granite has engaged consultants and incurred immaterial costs with respect to environmental matters arising from adjacent or nearby properties in order to protect the condition and marketability of its properties.

Moreover, environmental laws may impose restrictions on the manner in which a property may be used or to which a property is subject on transfer. These environmental restrictions may limit development or expansion of a property in Granite’s portfolio and may affect its value.

Failure to Obtain Future Financing

Granite’s access to third-party financing will be subject to a number of factors, including general market conditions; global economic volatility; Granite’s credit rating; the market’s perception of Granite’s stability and growth potential; Granite’s current and future cash flows and earnings; and Granite’s ability to renew certain long-term leases. There is no assurance that capital will be available when needed or on favourable terms. Granite’s failure to access required capital on acceptable terms could adversely affect its cash flows, operating results and financial condition, and Granite’s ability to make acquisitions, maintain existing assets and make capital investments. Granite may have restricted access to capital and increased borrowing costs which could adversely affect possible future debt or equity security issuances (see also ‘‘— Increased Financial Leverage’’).

Financing Risk

Granite is exposed to financing risk on maturing debentures and bank indebtedness, as well as interest rate risk on borrowings. If its indebtedness is replaced by new debt that has less favourable terms or Granite is unable to secure adequate funding, distributions to holders of Stapled Units may be adversely impacted (see also ‘‘— Failure to Obtain Future Financing’’).

A portion of the cash flow generated by Granite’s property portfolio is used to meet its obligations under its outstanding debt and there can be no assurance that Granite will continue to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet interest payment obligations or principal repayment obligations upon the applicable maturity dates. If Granite is unable to meet interest or principal payment obligations, it could be required to seek renegotiation of such payments or obtain additional equity, debt or other financing, and failure to do so could materially adversely affect Granite’s financial condition and results of operations and adversely impact cash distributions on the Stapled Units. Furthermore, if a property is mortgaged to secure the payment of indebtedness and Granite is unable to meet mortgage payments, the mortgagee could foreclose upon the property, appoint a receiver and receive an assignment of rents and leases or pursue other remedies, all of which could result in lost revenues and asset value.

The documents governing the Debentures, the Credit Facility, and the Term Loans contain various financial covenants which are measured on the basis of the combined financial

50 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

statements of Granite REIT and Granite GP. Failure to comply with obligations under the documents governing such indebtedness could result in a default and could materially adversely affect Granite's financial condition and results of operations and adversely impact cash distributions on the Stapled Units.

Granite is also exposed to interest rate risk, and, to the extent that Granite incurs variable rate indebtedness, its cost of borrowing will fluctuate as interest rates change. Accordingly, if interest rates rise significantly, Granite’s operating results, financial condition and cash flow could be adversely affected and the amount of cash available for distribution on the Stapled Units could be decreased.

Competition

In each of the real estate markets in which Granite operates, it competes for suitable real estate investments with many other parties, including real estate investment trusts, pension funds, insurance companies, private investors and other investors (both Canadian and foreign), which are currently seeking, or which may seek in the future, real estate investments similar to those desired by Granite. Some of Granite’s competitors may have greater financial resources, or lower required return thresholds than Granite does, or operate with different investment guidelines and operating policies. Accordingly, Granite may not be able to compete successfully for these investments.

If competing properties of a similar type are built in the area where one of Granite’s properties is located, or similar properties located in the vicinity of one of Granite’s properties are substantially refurbished, the net operating income derived from, and the value of, such property could be reduced as a result of Granite’s potential inability to lease space or to charge rent at same or better rates.

Lease Renewals and Occupancy

Granite’s tenants may not renew expiring leases on terms favourable to Granite, or at all. Where a lease has expired, Granite may not be able to find a new tenant for the property on terms as favourable as the expired lease, or at all, particularly in respect of properties that are considered to be special purpose in nature and were designed and built with unique features or are located in secondary markets.

Market rates may be lower at the time renewal options are exercised, and accordingly, leases may be renewed at lower levels of rent than are currently in place. Granite may incur significant costs in making property modifications, improvements or repairs required by a new tenant. The failure to maintain a significant number of Granite’s income-producing properties under lease would have a material adverse effect on Granite’s financial condition and operating results. As at December 31, 2023, Granite’s occupancy rate was 95.0%.

Cyber Security

Granite relies on its information technology systems for its financial reporting and day-to-day operations. Information technology systems are also an integral part of the Granite’s internal controls over financial reporting framework. Granite employs systems, including systems of third- party vendors, and websites that allow for the storage and transmission of proprietary or confidential information regarding its business, tenants and employees.

Security breaches could expose Granite to a risk of loss or misuse of this information, potential liability and reputational damage. Granite may not be able to anticipate or prevent rapidly evolving types of cyber-attacks. Actual or anticipated attacks may cause Granite to incur

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 51

increased costs, including costs to deploy additional personnel and protection technologies, train employees and engage third party experts and consultants. Advances in computer capabilities, new technological discoveries or other developments may result in the breach or compromise of technology used by Granite to protect transaction or other data. Data and security breaches can also occur as a result of non-technical issues, including intentional or inadvertent breach by employees or persons with whom Granite has commercial relationships, which may result in the unauthorized release of personal or confidential information.

If Granite were unable to operate its systems, make enhancements as needed or if there was a cyber- security breach into Granite’s network or systems of its third-party vendors, it could have an adverse effect on Granite’s ability to manage its operations and meet its obligations including its financial reporting obligations, which in turn could have an adverse impact on Granite’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Key Personnel

The operations of Granite depend on the services of certain key personnel. The loss of the services of any member or members of Granite’s management team could have an adverse effect on Granite.

General Risks Associated with Real Property Ownership

Because Granite owns, leases and develops real property in multiple jurisdictions, it is subject to risks that may vary by jurisdiction. The investment returns available from investments in real estate depend in large part on the amount of income earned by the properties, capital appreciation generated by the properties, as well as the expenses incurred. Granite may experience delays and incur substantial costs in enforcing its rights as lessor under defaulted leases.

In addition, a variety of other factors outside of Granite’s control affect income from properties and real estate values, including governmental regulations, zoning regulations, and condemnation/eminent domain laws, and can make it more expensive or time-consuming to expand, modify or renovate existing structures. The value of Granite’s properties is also dependent on the credit and financial stability of Granite’s tenants, and the bankruptcy or insolvency of any of Granite’s tenants could adversely affect Granite’s financial position. Operating costs for a property, including maintenance costs, property taxes and insurance, remain payable regardless of whether the property is producing income.

When interest rates increase, the cost of acquiring, developing, expanding or renovating real property increases and real property values may decrease as the number of potential buyers decreases. In addition, real estate investments are often difficult to sell quickly. Similarly, if financing becomes less available, it becomes more difficult both to acquire and to sell real property. Moreover, governments can, under eminent domain laws, confiscate real property. Sometimes this confiscation is for less compensation than the owner believes the property is worth.

A deterioration of economic and political conditions, including through rising interest rates or inflation, high unemployment rates, increasing energy prices, declining real estate values, increased volatility in global capital markets, international conflicts, sovereign debt concerns, an increase in protectionist measures and/or other factors, could adversely affect the value of Granite’s property portfolio, business, financial condition, results of operations and financial condition.

52 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

Development Risk

Granite currently develops properties and intends to develop properties in the future as suitable opportunities arise. Real estate development includes risks associated with:

• construction delays or cost overruns that may increase project costs;

• failure to receive zoning, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations;

• development costs incurred for projects that are not pursued to completion;

• natural disasters, such as earthquakes, floods or fires, that could adversely impact a project; and

• governmental restrictions on the nature, use or size of a project.

Granite’s development projects may not be completed on time or within budget, and in cases of speculative development there may be difficulty in securing tenants for the development or leasing may not be executed in a timely manner or at expected lease rates, which could all adversely affect Granite’s operating results.

Liquidity of Real Estate Investments

Real estate investments, particularly those that are special purpose in nature, tend to be relatively illiquid. This may limit Granite’s ability to adjust or adapt its portfolio promptly in response to changing economic or investment conditions. If the liquidation of assets is required, there is a significant risk that Granite would realize sale proceeds of less than the current fair value of its real estate investments.

Additionally, many of Granite’s significant leases provide the tenant with rights of first refusal, which may adversely affect the marketability and market value of its income-producing property portfolio. These rights of first refusal may deter third parties from incurring the time and expense that would be necessary for them to bid on Granite’s properties in the event that Granite desires to sell those properties. See ‘‘Business Overview — Leasing Arrangements — Restrictions on Sales and Tenant Rights of Refusal’’.

Inability to Execute Growth Strategy

Granite’s ability to achieve its strategic objectives is subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other unpredictable factors which, in addition to those discussed herein, include: adverse changes to foreign or domestic laws; changes in economic, market and competitive conditions; and other risks that may adversely affect Granite’s ability to grow and diversify its asset base through acquisitions, development, re-development and dispositions; to optimize its balance sheet; to reduce its exposure to Magna and the special purpose properties over the long term; and to continue to execute its strategy of acquiring and developing an institutional quality portfolio in key e-commerce and distribution markets.

Acquisitions

Granite expects to continue to acquire new properties and dispose of properties in accordance with its growth and diversification strategy, and Granite may also acquire going-concern businesses. It is Granite’s operating policy to conduct such diligence as is commercially reasonable in the circumstances on each business or real property that it intends to acquire, including, where appropriate, obtaining reports with respect to the physical condition of real properties, environmental assessments and appraisals, all from independent and experienced consultants.

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 53

Acquisitions of properties are subject to commercial risks and satisfaction of closing conditions that may include, among other things, receipt of estoppel certificates and obtaining title insurance. Such acquisitions may not be completed or, if completed, may not be on terms that are as favourable as initially negotiated. In the event that Granite does not complete an announced acquisition, it may have an adverse effect on Granite’s operating results.

Integrating acquired properties and businesses also involves a number of risks that could materially and adversely affect Granite’s business, including:

• failure of the acquired properties or businesses to achieve expected investment results;

• risks relating to the integration of the acquired properties or businesses and the retention and integration of key personnel relating to the acquired properties or businesses; and

• the risk that major tenants or clients of the acquired properties or businesses may not be retained following the expiry of their leases.

Furthermore, the properties and businesses acquired may have undisclosed liabilities for which Granite may not be entitled to any recourse against the vendor, and any contractual, legal, insurance or other remedies may be insufficient. The discovery of any material liabilities subsequent to the closing of the acquisition for any property or business could have a material adverse effect on Granite’s cash flows, financial condition and results of operations.

There can be no assurance that Granite will be able to find attractive opportunities toward which to deploy capital or the proceeds of dispositions, or that Granite will be able to replace the revenue from disposed properties with revenue from newly acquired properties on satisfactory terms or to acquire assets on an accretive basis.

Capital Expenditures

In order to retain marketable rentable space and to generate sustainable revenue over the long term, Granite must maintain or, in some cases, improve each property’s condition to meet market demand. In addition, maintaining a rental property in accordance with Granite’s leases and market standards can entail costs, including, without limitation, new roofs, paved areas or structural repairs, which Granite may not be able to recover from its tenants.

Numerous factors, including the age of the building, the materials used at the time of construction, currently unknown regulatory violations or new regulatory requirements, could result in substantial unbudgeted costs. If the actual costs of maintaining or upgrading a property exceed Granite’s estimates, or if hidden defects are discovered, which are not covered by insurance or contractual warranties, or if Granite is not permitted to recover such costs pursuant to its leases or due to legal constraints, it will incur additional and unexpected costs.

These maintenance, repair and capital costs could have a material adverse effect on Granite’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Land Leases

To the extent that the properties in which Granite has or will have an interest are located on leased land, the land leases may be subject to periodic rate resets which may fluctuate and may result in significant rental rate adjustments which could adversely impact Granite’s financial condition and operating results and decrease the amount of cash available for distribution. Granite may also be unable to renew land leases upon their expiration, which

54 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

could adversely impact the value of Granite’s investment in the building(s) located on leased land.

New Markets

If the opportunity arises, Granite may explore acquisitions of properties in new markets. Each of the risks applicable to Granite’s ability to acquire and successfully integrate and operate properties in its current markets is also applicable to its ability to acquire and successfully integrate and operate properties in new markets. In addition to these risks, Granite may not possess the same level of familiarity with the dynamics and market conditions of any new markets, which could adversely affect its ability to expand into or operate in those markets. Granite may be unable to achieve a desired return on its investments in new markets. If Granite is unsuccessful in expanding into new markets, it could adversely affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Uninsured Losses

It is Granite’s policy to obtain and maintain, or cause to be obtained and maintained, at all times, insurance coverage in respect of its potential liabilities and the accidental loss of value of its assets from risks, in amounts, with selected insurers, and on such terms as it considers appropriate, taking into account all relevant factors including the practices of owners of comparable properties.

Granite does not carry insurance for generally uninsured losses, such as losses from riots, certain environmental hazards, war or certain terrorist attacks.

If Granite experiences a loss which is uninsured or which exceeds its policy coverage limits, Granite could lose the capital invested in the damaged properties as well as the anticipated future cash flows from those properties. In addition, it is difficult to evaluate the stability and net assets or capitalization of insurance companies and any insurer’s ability to meet its claim payment obligations. A failure of an insurance company to make payments to Granite upon an event of loss covered by an insurance policy could have a material adverse effect on Granite’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Litigation Risk

Granite is sometimes the subject of complaints or litigation from tenants, employees or other third parties for various actions. The damages sought against Granite in these litigation claims can be substantial. If one or more valid and substantiated claims were to greatly exceed Granite’s liability insurance coverage limits or if Granite’s insurance policies do not cover such a claim, this could have a material adverse effect on Granite’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Regulatory Risk

Granite is subject to numerous federal, provincial, state and local laws and governmental regulations including those relating to environmental protections, product quality standards, and building and zoning requirements, as well as securities laws in Canada and the U.S. If Granite fails to comply with existing or future laws or regulations, it may be subject to governmental or judicial fines or sanctions, while incurring substantial legal fees and costs. In addition, Granite’s capital expenses could increase due to compliance or remediation measures that may be required if it is found to be noncompliant with any existing or future laws or regulations.

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 55

Financial Reporting

Granite maintains information systems, procedures and controls to ensure all financial information disclosed externally is as complete, reliable and timely as possible. Such internal controls over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordance with IFRS.

Due to the inherent limitations in all control systems, including well-designed and operated systems, no control system can provide complete assurance that the objectives of the control system will be met. Furthermore, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, including instances of fraud, if any, will be detected or prevented. Inherent limitations in control systems include, without limitation, the risk of isolated errors and the risk that management’s assumptions and judgments may ultimately prove to be incorrect under varying conditions.

Additionally, controls may be circumvented by the unauthorized acts of individuals, by collusion of two or more people or by management override. The design of any system of controls is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential conditions.

Increased Financial Leverage

One of Granite’s strategic policies is to maintain leverage to a range of 30% to 35% or below. As at December 31, 2023, Granite’s net leverage ratio was 33%.

The degree to which Granite is leveraged could have important consequences to holders of Granite securities. These include: (i) a significant portion of Granite’s cash flow may be dedicated to the payment of the principal of, and interest on, Granite’s indebtedness, thereby reducing the amount of funds available for the payment of cash distributions to holders of Stapled Units; (ii) certain of Granite’s borrowings may be at variable rates of interest, which exposes Granite to the risk of increased interest rates; (iii) a high level of debt would increase vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions; (iv) the covenants contained in the indebtedness will limit Granite’s ability to dispose of assets, encumber assets, pay distributions and make potential investments; (v) a high leverage percentage may place Granite at a competitive disadvantage compared to other owners of similar real estate assets that are less leveraged and therefore Granite may be prevented from taking advantage of opportunities; (vi) a high leverage percentage may make it more likely that a reduction in Granite’s borrowing base following a periodic valuation (or redetermination) could require Granite to repay a portion of then- outstanding borrowings; (vii) high leverage may impact Granite’s credit ratings; and (viii) a high leverage percentage may impair Granite’s ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, general trust or other purposes. Under the Declaration of Trust, Granite REIT (including entities wholly or partially owned by Granite REIT on a proportionate consolidation basis) may not incur or assume any Indebtedness (as defined in the Declaration of Trust) if, after giving effect to the incurring or assumption of the Indebtedness, the total Indebtedness of Granite REIT would be more than 65% of Gross Book Value (as defined in the Declaration of Trust).

Climate Change Risk

Climate change continues to attract the focus of governments and the general public as an important threat, given that the emission of greenhouse gases and other activities continue to negatively impact the planet. Granite faces the risk that its properties or tenants may be subject to government initiatives aimed at countering climate change, such as a mandatory reduction

56 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

of greenhouse gas emissions, which could impose constraints on Granite's operational flexibility or cause Granite or its tenants to incur financial costs to comply with various reforms. Any failure to adhere and adapt to climate change reform could result in fines or adversely affect Granite’s reputation, operations or financial performance.

Furthermore, Granite’s properties or tenants may be exposed to the impact of events caused by climate change, such as natural disasters and increasingly frequent and severe weather conditions. Such events could interrupt Granite’s operations and activities, damage its properties and potentially decrease its property values or require Granite to incur additional expenses including an increase in insurance costs to insure its properties against natural disasters and severe weather.

Risks Associated with Disease Outbreaks

Public health crises, pandemics and epidemics, such as those caused by new strains of viruses such as H5N1 (avian flu), severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) and, most recently, the COVID-19 pandemic, could result in or continue to result in: a general or acute decline in economic activity in the regions where Granite operates; periodic international, national and local border closures; travel restrictions; significant disruptions to business operations, supply chains and customer activity and demand; temporary or long-term labour shortages; cancellations, reductions and other changes to services; and quarantines; as well as considerable general concern and uncertainty. All of these occurrences may adversely impact Granite’s and Granite’s tenants’ businesses, including the ability of Granite’s tenants to meet their payment obligations.

The duration and impact of any disease outbreak on Granite’s business operations and financial performance, and the efficacy of any government interventions are difficult to predict. Disruptions caused by a disease outbreak may negatively impact the market price for the Stapled Units and may, in the short- or long-term, materially adversely impact Granite’s tenants and/or the debt and equity markets, both of which could materially adversely affect Granite’s business operations and financial performance, as well as Granite’s ability to pay distributions. In addition, efforts to mitigate the impact of an outbreak may result in increased costs and delays with Granite’s current and future development projects.

Risks Associated with the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

Granite currently holds investments and operates in Western Europe, specifically in Netherlands, Germany and Austria. Since the commencement of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022 and up to the date of this AIF, the European real estate markets in which Granite operates have remained orderly and during the year ended December 31, 2023, and up to the date of this AIF, there has not been a significant impact on Granite’s operations, assets or liabilities as a result of the war.

Although not directly impacted by the ongoing Russian/Ukraine war thus far, Granite and its tenants are exposed to a broad range of current and evolving risks including:

•slowdown of global economic growth and more specifically in the European region;

•inflationary pressures, including energy, labour and transportation/logistics;

•higher interest rates;

•energy security in Western Europe; and

•supply chain disruptions.

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 57

A material deterioration in any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on Granite’s tenants and their ability to continue to operate and pay rent, and impact debt and equity markets, either of which could adversely impact Granite’s operations and financial performance. Granite is continuing to monitor the situation in Ukraine and globally and assessing its potential impact on Granite’s business.

Risks Relating to Taxation

Canada

Mutual Fund Trust Status

Granite REIT may cease to qualify as a mutual fund trust for purposes of the Tax Act. If Granite REIT did not qualify as a mutual fund trust for such purposes continuously throughout a taxation year, it would be subject to adverse tax consequences which likely would result in a significant portion of its income becoming subject to Canadian income tax and materially reduce the level of cash distributions made to REIT Unitholders.

Real Estate Investment Trust Status

Granite REIT would be subject to Canadian income tax (under the so-called ‘‘SIFT’’ tax rules) on a similar basis to a Canadian public corporation on its income for a year unless it qualifies in that year as a real estate investment trust for purposes of the Tax Act (the ‘‘REIT Exception’’). If Granite REIT did not qualify under the REIT Exception for one or more of its taxation years, it would have higher cash taxes payable and the level of cash distributions made to REIT Unitholders would be materially reduced. The conditions for satisfying the REIT Exception are onerous, and include various numerical tests (including tests entailing measurement of assets and equity or measurement of various revenue streams) which must be satisfied at any point in time throughout the year in question. Accordingly, there is a risk (including as a result of unanticipated developments or changes in law) that Granite REIT will not qualify under the REIT Exception as a real estate investment trust under the Tax Act for one or more of its taxation years.

EIFEL Rules

Granite REIT expects to comply for its 2024 and subsequent taxation years with the “excessive interest and financing expenses limitation” rules (the “EIFEL” rules) contained in Bill C-59. In very general terms, the EIFEL rules could require an addition to the income of Granite REIT based largely on the extent to which, for any such taxation year, the interest and financing expenses (“IFE”), as broadly defined, of Granite LP and of its subsidiary limited partnerships, minus their interest and financing revenues (“IFR”), also as broadly defined, exceeded 30% of their “adjusted taxable income” (“ATI”) for such taxation years (essentially, EBITDA determined on a Canadian tax basis). Similarly, in very general terms, the EIFEL rules could require an addition to the income of the principal (indirect) Canadian corporate subsidiary of Granite REIT or Granite Co., based largely on the extent to which, for any such taxation year, the IFE of Granite Co. and of subsidiary limited partnerships, minus their IFR, exceeded 30% of their ATI for such taxation year.

Although Granite REIT does not currently anticipate that such additions under the EIFEL rules would occur having regard only to the anticipated ATI, IFE and IFR of Granite LP and its Canadian subsidiary entities, including Granite Co., these rules (in addition to the elements described above) would also require the ATI, IFE and IFR of various indirect foreign subsidiaries of Granite LP and Granite Co. to be taken into account for purposes of computing such potential additions to the income of Granite REIT and Granite Co. where in their

58 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

applicable taxation years such subsidiaries were considered to earn foreign accrual property income for purposes of the Tax Act.

The various indirect non-resident subsidiaries of Granite LP may not have material sources of foreign accrual property income for their 2024 and subsequent taxation years. However, there can be no assurances in this regard given uncertainties as to their potential circumstances in those taxation years and uncertainties, whether in particular potential circumstances, they would be considered to be generating foreign accrual property income. Accordingly, there can be no assurance at this time that no additions to the income of Granite REIT or Granite Co. for purposes of the Tax Act will occur pursuant to the EIFEL rules. Any such additions would have the likely general effect of increasing the amount of income allocated for purposes of the Tax Act to REIT Unitholders in respect of the related taxation year of Granite REIT or reducing the after-tax income of Granite Co., with a resulting potential reduction in the after-tax returns of such REIT Unitholders.

Tax on Stapled Unit Repurchases

Granite REIT expects that it and Granite GP will be subject for their 2024 and subsequent taxation years to the tax on certain repurchases of Stapled Units provided for in Bill C-59. This tax would be calculated as 2% of the aggregate fair market value of the Stapled Units which are redeemed or acquired by them in the taxation year, including pursuant to a normal course issuer bid, minus the fair market value of Stapled Units issued by them in that year in specified circumstances including most issuances of Stapled Units occurring for cash or on conversion of most convertible debentures, if applicable.

United States

Granite’s U.S. Private REITs’ Status as a U.S. REIT

As of January 1, 2013, Granite America, and as of November 18, 2019, Commerce 30 Building C. Inc., (together “U.S. Private REITs”) qualified as REITs for United States federal income tax purposes. REITs are subject to numerous requirements, including requirements relating to the character of their income and assets. If either U.S. Private REIT fails to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, it would be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a corporation, and distributions to Granite REIT (and ultimately to REIT Unitholders) could be reduced.

Under section 269B of the United States Internal Revenue Code certain entities that are treated as ‘‘stapled entities’’ are subject to adverse effects. Granite GP should not be treated as stapled to Granite America under current law. If Granite GP nevertheless were treated as stapled to Granite America for these purposes, Granite America and Granite GP could be treated as one entity, which could potentially result in Granite America failing to qualify as a REIT and could reduce the amount of available distributions made by Granite America to Granite REIT (and ultimately to REIT Unitholders).

Granite REIT’s Status as a Partnership

Granite REIT’s status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes requires that 90% or more of Granite REIT’s gross income for every taxable year consists of qualifying income (the ‘‘qualifying income exception’’), and that Granite REIT not be registered under the Investment Company Act. Granite REIT expects that it will be able to utilize the qualifying income exception in each taxable year, but Granite REIT could cease to be treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes should this exception not be met in any given year, resulting in materially reduced distributions if Granite REIT is subject to U.S. corporate level income tax or increased U.S. withholding tax on dividend distributions from its U.S. subsidiaries.

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 59

Section 1446(f) Withholding

Section 1446(f) provides that if any portion of the gain on a disposition of an interest in a partnership would be treated as effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, the transferee shall be required to deduct and withhold a tax equal to 10% of the amount realized on the disposition. Under applicable Treasury regulations that became effective January 1, 2023, a transferee of an interest in a publicly traded partnership (a “PTP”) (such as the REIT Units) will not be required to withhold under Section 1446(f) if the transfer is effected through one or more brokers. Instead, the withholding obligation will fall upon the applicable broker, as determined under the regulations. Exceptions to broker withholding are available with respect to transfers of interests in PTPs in certain circumstances. A broker will generally be able to rely on a “qualified notice” posted by a PTP indicating that the PTP is not engaged in a trade or business within the United States at any time during its taxable year (the “No US TOB Exception”). Granite REIT has posted such qualified notices throughout the fiscal year ended December 31 2023 and is expected to post such qualified notices monthly going forward as it believes it currently meets the No US TOB Exception, but no assurance can be given that Granite REIT will continue to meet the No US TOB Exception or any other exception to withholding under Section 1446(f), and 10% withholding may be required in connection with the transfer of REIT Units by non-U.S. REIT Unitholders. Non-U.S. REIT Unitholders are urged to consult their brokers and tax advisors about the applicability of withholding under Section 1446(f).

Stock Buyback Tax

Effective January 1, 2023, the United States imposed a 1% excise tax on certain publicly traded corporations or their affiliates with respect to certain repurchases of stock of the publicly traded corporations. With respect to a publicly traded non-U.S. corporation such as Granite GP, the excise tax may apply if a "U.S. affiliate" (an affiliate other than a non-U.S. corporation or a non-U.S. partnership with no direct or indirect U.S. entity partners) acquires stock of such publicly traded corporation. In addition, under guidance from the Treasury Department and Internal Revenue Service, the excise tax may also apply to a repurchase of stock by a publicly traded non-U.S. corporation or its non-U.S. affiliates if such repurchase is funded or considered funded by a U.S. affiliate. The application and scope of this new excise tax is subject to substantial uncertainty and further guidance is expected to be issued by the Treasury Department including relating to the scope of the funding rule. No assurance can be given that Granite REIT, Granite GP and their affiliates will not make repurchases of Stapled Units subject to the 1% excise tax. If repurchases of Stapled Units are subject to the 1% excise tax, it may adversely affect the market price of Stapled Units and reduce the amount of cash on hand available to pay operating expenses and make investments.

Risks Related to PFIC Status

Granite REIT, Granite GP or their subsidiaries may be considered a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S.-resident REIT Unitholders directly or indirectly owning an interest in a PFIC may experience adverse U.S. tax consequences.

U.S. Return Filing Obligation if Granite REIT Recognizes FIRPTA Gain

Granite REIT intends to manage its affairs so that the risk of recognizing a gain under FIRPTA is minimized. However, if Granite REIT recognizes FIRPTA gain, Non-U.S.-resident REIT Unitholders will be subject to U.S. federal income tax and U.S. income tax return filing obligations.

60 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

Potential Uncertainty as to the Availability of Treaty Benefits to Distributions from Granite America

Treaty-reduced rates of withholding tax on Fixed, Determinable, Annual, Periodical (‘‘FDAP’’) payments that are considered to be U.S. sourced, are not available under a treaty if REIT Unitholders are not considered the beneficial owners of the income earned by Granite REIT or are not considered to have derived such income within the meaning of the applicable Treasury Department regulations. Granite believes that REIT Unitholders will be treated as deriving the income earned by Granite REIT and REIT Unitholders will be treated as the beneficial owners of such income. If REIT Unitholders were not considered the beneficial owners of Granite REIT’s income, the portion of distributions to REIT Unitholders which would be considered FDAP payments would not be eligible for a reduced rate of withholding tax and Granite REIT may be assessed by the IRS for failure to withhold at an appropriate rate. As a practical matter, Granite may not be able to recover most of the amount of such assessment from REIT Unitholders.

Changes to Tax Laws

Granite operates in multiple foreign jurisdictions. Accordingly, it is subject to the tax laws and related tax treaties in each of those jurisdictions and the risk that those tax laws and treaties may change in the future or that recent changes to such tax laws or treaties may be applied by the tax authorities in an adverse manner. Any such changes could adversely affect taxes payable including withholding taxes, the effective tax rate in the jurisdictions in which Granite operates and the portion of distributions that would be income for Canadian income tax purposes.

Risks Related to the Positions Taken by Granite in its Tax Filings

Tax provisions, including current and deferred tax assets and liabilities in Granite’s financial statements and tax filing positions, require estimates and interpretations of Canadian and foreign tax laws, regulations, and tax treaties, and judgments as to their interpretation and application to Granite’s specific situation. In addition, the computation of income and other taxes payable involves many complex factors and there can be no assurance that Canadian or foreign tax agencies will agree with Granite’s tax filing positions and will not change their administrative practices to the detriment of Granite and its security holders. While Granite believes that its tax filing positions are appropriate and supportable under applicable law, they are always subject to review and assessment by the relevant taxation authorities. Therefore, it is possible that additional taxes could be payable by Granite or withheld on distributions received from non-resident subsidiaries or distributed to REIT Unitholders or that additional taxable income could be allocated by Granite REIT to its REIT Unitholders (potentially in excess of cash distributions made to them).

Risks Relating to the Stapled Units

Distributions

The REIT Units are equity securities of Granite REIT and are not fixed income securities. A fundamental characteristic that distinguishes the REIT Units from fixed income securities is that Granite REIT does not have a fixed obligation to make payments to holders of REIT Units and does not have an obligation to return the initial purchase price of a REIT Unit on a certain date in the future (although the REIT Units are redeemable on demand, subject to certain limitations, as provided in the Declaration of Trust). Granite REIT has the ability to reduce or suspend distributions to holders of REIT Units if circumstances warrant. The ability of Granite REIT to make cash distributions to holders of REIT Units, and the actual amount distributed, will be entirely dependent on the operations and assets of Granite REIT and its subsidiaries, and will be subject to various factors including financial performance, obligations under indebtedness,

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 61

fluctuations in working capital and capital expenditure requirements. There can be no assurance regarding the amount of income to be generated by Granite’s properties.

In addition, unlike interest payments on an interest-bearing debt security, Granite REIT’s cash distributions to holders of REIT Units are composed of different types of payments (portions of which may be fully or partially taxable or may constitute non-taxable returns of capital). The composition for tax purposes of those distributions may change over time, thus affecting the after-tax returns to holders of REIT Units. Therefore, the rate of return over a defined period for a holder of REIT Units may not be comparable to the rate of return on a fixed income security that provides a ‘‘return on capital’’ over the same period.

GP Shareholders have no contractual or legal right to dividends, and the declaration of dividends is in the discretion of the Directors. Payment of dividends will depend on, among other things, the earnings, financial condition, level of indebtedness and financial commitments of Granite GP, statutory solvency tests applicable to the declaration and payment of dividends and other factors considered relevant by the Directors. In the current Stapled Unit structure, Granite GP would be entirely dependent on its relatively nominal general partner interest in Granite LP in order to receive funds from which to pay dividends. In light of its nominal earnings (if any), Granite GP did not pay dividends in 2022 or 2023 and does not expect to pay dividends in 2024.

Although Granite REIT intends to distribute the majority of the consolidated income it earns, less expenses and amounts, if any, paid by Granite REIT in connection with the redemption of REIT Units, the actual amount of distributions paid in respect of the REIT Units will depend upon numerous factors, all of which are susceptible to a number of risks and uncertainties beyond the control of Granite. Granite may also determine to retain cash reserves in certain of Granite’s subsidiaries for the proper conduct of its business. Adding to these reserves in any year would reduce the amount of distributable cash and, hence, of cash available for distributions in that year. Accordingly, there can be no assurance regarding the actual levels of distributions by Granite REIT or Granite GP. The market value of Stapled Units may decline significantly if Granite REIT suspends or reduces distributions.

Distributions by Granite REIT are payable in cash unless the Trustees determine to pay such amount in Units or fractions thereof. If Granite REIT does not have enough cash to pay distributions in an amount necessary to ensure it will not be liable to pay income tax under Part I of the Tax Act in a taxation year, distributions may be paid in the form of Units or fractions thereof, which could result in REIT Unitholders having taxable income but not receiving cash with respect to such amount.

Subordination of REIT Units and GP Shares

In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of Granite LP or its subsidiaries, holders of certain of their indebtedness and certain trade creditors will generally be entitled to payment of their claims from the assets from such entities before any assets are made available for upstream distribution, eventually to Granite REIT or Granite GP. GP Shares and REIT Units will be effectively subordinated to the Credit Facility, the Debentures, the Term Loans, and most of the other indebtedness and liabilities of Granite LP and its subsidiaries. None of Granite LP or its subsidiaries will be limited (other than pursuant to their credit facilities or other debt instruments, including the Credit Facility, the Debentures, and the Term Loans) in their respective ability to incur secured or unsecured indebtedness.

62 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

Non-Resident Ownership

The Declaration of Trust imposes various restrictions on holders of REIT Units (which apply regardless of whether the REIT Units are held in the form of Stapled Units). REIT Unitholders that are Non-Residents are prohibited from beneficially owning more than 49% of REIT Units (on a non-diluted and fully-diluted basis). These restrictions may limit (or inhibit the exercise of) the rights of certain persons, including persons who are not residents of Canada for purposes of the Tax Act and non-Canadians, to acquire Stapled Units or REIT Units, to exercise their rights as REIT Unitholders and to initiate and complete take-over bids in respect of the Stapled Units or REIT Units. As a result, these restrictions may limit the demand for Stapled Units or REIT Units from certain persons and thereby adversely affect the liquidity and market value of the Stapled Units or REIT Units held by the public. See ‘‘Declaration of Trust and Description of REIT Units — Limitations on Non-Resident Ownership of REIT Units’’.

Currency Risk Associated with Granite’s Distributions

Holders of Stapled Units residing in countries where the Canadian dollar is not the functional currency will be subject to foreign currency risk associated with Granite’s distributions, which are denominated in Canadian dollars.

Dependence on Granite LP

Granite REIT is an open-ended, limited purpose trust which is, for purposes of its income, entirely dependent on Granite LP, and in turn on its subsidiaries. Granite GP is also entirely dependent on Granite LP, and in turn on its subsidiaries, as its principal asset is its relatively nominal general partner interest in Granite LP. Granite REIT remains dependent upon the ability of Granite LP to pay distributions or returns of capital in respect of the units of Granite LP, which ability, in turn, is dependent upon the operations and assets of Granite LP’s subsidiaries.

Market Price of Stapled Units

A publicly-traded real estate investment trust will not necessarily trade at values determined by reference to the underlying value of its business. The prices at which the Stapled Units (or REIT Units and GP Shares, after an Event of Uncoupling) will trade cannot be predicted. The market price of the Stapled Units (or REIT Units and GP Shares, after an Event of Uncoupling) could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to variations in quarterly operating results, distributions and other factors, including changes in general market conditions, fluctuations in the markets for equity securities and numerous other factors beyond Granite’s control.

The annual yield on the Stapled Units (or REIT Units and GP Shares, after an Event of Uncoupling) as compared to the annual yield on other financial instruments may also influence the price of Stapled Units (or REIT Units and GP Shares, after an Event of Uncoupling) in the public trading markets. In general, an increase in market interest may lead investors in Stapled Units (or REIT Units and GP Shares, after an Event of Uncoupling) to demand a higher annual yield which could adversely affect the quoted price of Stapled Units (or REIT Units and GP Shares, after an Event of Uncoupling).

In addition, the securities markets have in the past experienced and may in the future experience significant price and volume fluctuations from time to time unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of particular issuers. These broad fluctuations may adversely affect the market price of the Stapled Units (or REIT Units and GP Shares, after an Event of Uncoupling).

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 63

Since REIT Units and GP Shares do not trade independently, but rather are stapled together as Stapled Units, investors in Stapled Units are subject to all of the risks of an investment in both REIT Units and GP Shares.

Non-Direct Investment

Granite REIT’s principal assets are limited partnership interests in Granite LP. Each REIT Unit represents an equal, undivided, beneficial interest in Granite REIT and does not represent a direct investment in Granite REIT’s assets and should not be viewed by investors as a direct investment in Granite REIT’s assets. Similarly, Granite GP’s principal asset is its relatively nominal general partner interest in Granite LP. Granite GP is a separate legal entity and a GP Share does not represent a direct investment in Granite GP’s assets and should not be viewed by investors as a direct investment in Granite GP’s assets.

The REIT Units are not ‘‘deposits’’ within the meaning of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act and are not insured under the provisions of that Act or any other legislation. Furthermore, Granite REIT is not a trust company and, accordingly, is not registered under any trust and loan company legislation as it does not carry on or intend to carry on the business of a trust company. In addition, although Granite REIT is intended to qualify as a ‘‘mutual fund trust’’ as defined by the Tax Act, Granite REIT is not a ‘‘mutual fund’’ as defined by applicable securities legislation.

The REIT Units do not represent a direct investment in the business of Granite LP and should not be viewed by investors as shares or interests in such entity or any other company. The REIT Units do not represent debt instruments and there is no principal amount owing to REIT Unitholders under the REIT Units.

Redemptions of Stapled Units

The Stapled Units are redeemable on demand by the holder, subject to the limitations described under the heading ‘‘– Risks Relating to the Stapled Units’’. It is anticipated that the redemption right will not be the primary mechanism for holders of Stapled Units to liquidate their investment. Upon a redemption of REIT Units, the Trustees may distribute cash or Unit Redemption Assets (as defined under ‘‘Declaration of Trust and Description of REIT Units — REIT Unit Redemption Right’’) to the redeeming REIT Unitholders, subject to obtaining any required regulatory approvals and complying with the requisite terms and conditions of such approvals. The property so distributed may not be qualified investments for trusts governed by registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered disability savings plans, registered education savings plans, tax-free savings accounts and deferred profit-sharing plans, each within the meaning of the Tax Act (collectively, ‘‘Exempt Plans’’) depending upon the circumstances at the time.

Additionally, such securities, if any, are not expected to be listed on any stock exchange and no established market is expected to develop in such securities and they may be subject to resale restrictions under applicable securities laws.

Following an Event of Uncoupling, the GP Shares will no longer be redeemable on demand by the holder.

Dilution of Stapled Units

Granite may issue an unlimited number of Stapled Units for the consideration and on such terms and conditions as are established by the Trustees of Granite REIT and the Directors of

64 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

Granite GP without the approval of any holders of Stapled Units. Any further issuance of Stapled Units will dilute the interests of existing holders.

Liability of REIT Unitholders

The Declaration of Trust provides that no REIT Unitholders, in such capacity, will be subject to any liability for, among other things, the obligations, liabilities or activities of Granite REIT. In addition, legislation has been enacted in the Province of Ontario and certain other provinces that is intended to provide REIT Unitholders in those provinces with limited liability comparable to shareholders of a corporation. However, there remains a risk, which management of Granite REIT considers to be remote in the circumstances, that a REIT Unitholder could be held personally liable for the obligations of Granite REIT to the extent that claims are not satisfied out of the assets of Granite REIT.

Uncoupling of Stapled Units — Significant Expenditures

An ‘‘Event of Uncoupling’’ shall occur only: (i) in the event that REIT Unitholders vote in favour of the uncoupling of REIT Units and GP Shares such that the two securities will trade separately; or (ii) at the sole discretion of the Trustees or the Directors, but only in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency, winding-up or reorganization (under an applicable law relating to insolvency) of Granite REIT or Granite GP or the taking of corporate action by Granite REIT or Granite GP in furtherance of any such action or the admitting in writing by Granite REIT or Granite GP of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due. As a result of changes in applicable Canadian, U.S. or other foreign tax laws, or otherwise, it may become desirable to uncouple REIT Units and GP Shares such that the two securities trade separately. There can be no guarantee that such an uncoupling will be accomplished in a timely manner, or at all, and Granite may incur significant expenditures related to administrative expenses and legal and tax advice in respect of holding a meeting of REIT Unitholders, a meeting of GP Shareholders, or otherwise to effect an uncoupling of REIT Units and GP Shares. The market value of the Stapled Units may decline significantly if a desirable uncoupling cannot be effected in a timely manner, or at all.

Uncoupling of Stapled Units — De-listing of REIT Units and/or GP Shares

If an Event of Uncoupling occurs, either or both of the REIT Units or GP Shares may be de-listed from the TSX or the NYSE and consequently, there may be no market through which a holder can liquidate its investment in such securities following an Event of Uncoupling. If the REIT Units or GP Shares are de-listed upon an Event of Uncoupling, there can be no assurance that they will be re-listed or posted for trading or quoted on the TSX, the NYSE or any other market for securities. If de-listing were to occur, the REIT Units or GP Shares may not be qualified investments for Exempt Plans depending on the circumstances at the time.

Uncoupling of Stapled Units — Non-Compliance with Canadian Securities Laws

Granite GP relies and intends to rely on certain exemptions from Canadian securities laws set out in exemption orders obtained from applicable Canadian securities regulatory authorities, including with respect to certain continuous disclosure requirements. Granite REIT also relies on such exemption orders to, among other things, permit it to prepare and file combined financial statements of Granite REIT and Granite GP. If there is an Event of Uncoupling, or if certain other conditions of such exemptive relief are not met, Granite GP or Granite REIT may be in default of certain requirements of Canadian securities laws until they comply in full with such requirements. Such a default could impair the ability of Granite REIT and/or Granite GP to undertake financings and could lead to regulatory sanctions.

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 65

Statutory Remedies

The rights of REIT Unitholders are based primarily on the Declaration of Trust. There is no statute governing Granite REIT’s affairs equivalent to the BCBCA which sets out the rights and entitlements of shareholders of corporations, such as GP Shareholders, in various circumstances. As such, REIT Unitholders do not have statutory rights with respect to Granite REIT normally associated with ownership of shares of a corporation including, for example, the right to bring ‘‘oppression’’ or ‘‘derivative’’ actions; however, certain analogous rights with respect to Granite REIT have been included in the Declaration of Trust since June 2022.

The rights granted in the Declaration of Trust are granted as contractual rights afforded to REIT Unitholders. Similar to other existing rights contained in the Declaration of Trust (e.g., take-over bid provisions and conflict of interest provisions), making these rights and remedies and certain procedures available by contract is structurally different from the manner in which the equivalent rights and remedies or procedures (including the procedure for enforcing such remedies) are made available to shareholders of a corporation, who benefit from those rights and remedies or procedures by the corporate statute that governs the corporation, such as the BCBCA. As such, there is no certainty how these rights, remedies or procedures may be treated by the courts in the non-corporate context or that a REIT Unitholder will be able to enforce the rights and remedies in the manner contemplated by the Declaration of Trust. Furthermore, how the courts will treat these rights, remedies and procedures will be at the discretion of the court, and a court may choose to not accept jurisdiction to consider any claim contemplated in the Declaration of the Trust.

As well, Granite REIT may not be a recognized entity under certain existing insolvency legislation such as the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act (Canada) and the Companies Creditors’ Arrangement Act (Canada) and thus the treatment of REIT Unitholders upon an insolvency is uncertain.

Risks Relating to the Debentures

Credit Ratings and Credit Risk

The credit rating assigned to the Debentures by each of the applicable credit ratings agencies is not a recommendation to buy, hold or sell the Debentures. A rating is not a comment on the market price of a security, nor is it an assessment of ownership given various investment objectives. There can be no assurance that the credit ratings assigned to the Debentures will remain in effect for any given period of time and ratings may be upgraded, downgraded, placed under review, confirmed and discontinued by an applicable credit ratings agency at any time. Real or anticipated changes in credit ratings on the Debentures may affect the market value of the Debentures. In addition, real or anticipated changes in credit ratings may affect the cost at which Granite LP can access the capital markets and downgrades in credit ratings may increase the cost of borrowing of existing credit facilities. See ‘‘Credit Facility and Indebtedness — Credit Ratings’’.

Repayment Risk

The likelihood that holders of the Debentures will receive payments owing to them under the terms of the Debentures will depend on the financial health of Granite REIT, Granite GP and Granite LP and their creditworthiness. In addition, the Debentures and the guarantees thereof will be unsecured obligations of Granite LP (in the case of the Debentures) and Granite REIT and Granite GP (in the case of the guarantees) and, therefore, if Granite LP, Granite REIT or Granite GP becomes bankrupt, liquidates its assets, reorganizes or enters into certain other transactions, its assets will be available to pay its obligations with respect to the Debentures and the guarantees thereof only after it has paid all of its secured indebtedness, if any, in full.

66 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

There may be insufficient assets remaining following such payments to pay amounts due on any or all of the Debentures then outstanding.

Structural Subordinate of Debentures

Liabilities of a parent entity whose assets are held by various subsidiaries may result in the structural subordination of the creditors of the parent corporation to the creditors, including trade creditors, of such subsidiaries. The parent entity is entitled only to the residual equity of its subsidiaries after all debt obligations of its subsidiaries are discharged. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of Granite LP, Granite REIT or Granite GP, holders of indebtedness of Granite LP, Granite REIT and Granite GP (including holders of Debentures) may become subordinate to creditors of the subsidiaries of Granite LP.

Fluctuations in Market Price and Value of the Debentures

The market price or value of the Debentures depends on many factors, including liquidity of the Debentures, prevailing interest rates and the markets for similar securities, general economic conditions and Granite’s financial condition, historic financial performance and future prospects.

Prevailing interest rates will affect the market value of the Debentures. Assuming all other factors remain unchanged, the market value of the Debentures will decline as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments rise and increase as prevailing interest rates for comparable debt instruments decline.

Challenging market conditions, the health of the economy as a whole and numerous other factors beyond the control of Granite LP may have a material effect on the business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations of Granite LP. Financial markets have recently experienced significant price and volume fluctuations that have particularly affected the market prices of securities of issuers and that have often been unrelated to the operating performance, underlying asset values or prospects of such issuers. There can be no assurance that continuing fluctuations in price and volume will not occur. Accordingly, the market price of the Debentures may decline even if Granite LP’s operating results, underlying asset values or prospects have not changed. Additionally, these factors, as well as other related factors, may cause decreases in asset values that are objective evidence of impairment, which may result in impairment losses. If such increased levels of volatility and market turmoil occur, Granite LP’s operations could be adversely impacted, and the market price of the Debentures may be adversely affected.

Liquidity of Debentures

There is currently only a secondary market with limited liquidity through which the Debentures may be sold. No assurance can be given that an active or liquid trading market for the Debentures will be maintained, and holders may not be able to resell Debentures. This may affect the pricing of the Debentures, the transparency and availability of trading prices, the liquidity of the Debentures and the extent of issuer regulation. To the extent that an active trading market for the Debentures does not exist, the liquidity and trading prices for the Debentures may be adversely affected. Whether or not the Debentures will trade at lower prices depends on many factors, including liquidity of the Debentures, prevailing interest rates and the markets for similar securities, general economic conditions and Granite’s financial condition and future prospects.

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 67

Change of Control

Granite LP may be required to purchase all outstanding Debentures upon the occurrence of a ‘‘Change of Control’’ (as defined in the 2020 First Indenture, the 2020 Second Indenture, the 2021 Indenture and the 2023 Indenture). However, it is possible that following a Change of Control, Granite LP will not have sufficient funds at that time to make any required purchase of outstanding Debentures or that restrictions contained in other indebtedness will restrict those purchases.

Early Redemption of Debentures

Granite LP may choose to redeem the Debentures prior to maturity, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, especially when prevailing interest rates are lower than the rate borne by the Debentures. If prevailing rates are lower at the time of redemption, a holder would not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as the interest rate on the Debentures being redeemed.

DESCRIPTION OF STAPLED UNITS

The Stapled Units consist of one REIT Unit and one GP Share. The Declaration of Trust and Articles of Granite GP each contain provisions to achieve the ‘‘stapling’’ of the REIT Units and the GP Shares until such time as an Event of Uncoupling occurs. See ‘‘Declaration of Trust and Description of REIT Units — Allotment and Issue of REIT Units’’, ‘‘Declaration of Trust and Description of REIT Units — Transferability and Stapling of REIT Units’’ and ‘‘Granite GP Capital Structure’’.

For information regarding an Event of Uncoupling, see “Risk Factors – Risks Related to Stapled Units – Uncoupling of Stapled Units – Significant Expenditures”.

Support Agreement

The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Support Agreement and does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Support Agreement, as filed on SEDAR+.

Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust and the Articles of Granite GP, at all times, each REIT Unit must be ‘‘stapled’’ to a GP Share unless there is an Event of Uncoupling. As part of the 2013 Arrangement, Granite REIT and Granite GP entered into a support agreement dated as of January 3, 2013, as amended and restated on December 20, 2017, which contains provisions that facilitate the Stapled Unit structure.

Among other things, the Support Agreement provides for:

(i) coordination of the declaration and payment of distributions by Granite REIT and dividends by Granite GP so as to provide, unless otherwise agreed, for simultaneous record dates and payment dates;

(ii) coordination between the parties so as to permit them to perform their respective obligations pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, the Articles of Granite GP, equity-based compensation plans, any dividend or distribution re-investment plan and any unitholder rights plan;

(iii) for each party to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to enable and permit the other party to perform its obligations arising

68 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

under any right, warrant, option or other convertible security and enable the delivery of Stapled Units thereunder or in connection therewith; and

(iv) for each party to take all such actions and do all such things as are necessary or desirable to issue REIT Units or GP Shares, as applicable, simultaneously (or as close to simultaneously as possible) with the issue of GP Shares or REIT Units, as applicable, and to otherwise ensure at all times that each holder of a particular number of REIT Units holds an equal number of GP Shares, including participating in and cooperating with any public or private distribution of Stapled Units by, among other things, signing prospectuses or other offering documents.

Under the Support Agreement, the parties have agreed to keep each other informed of potential issues of securities, consult with each other and cooperate in connection with such an issue. The Support Agreement provides for coordination and cooperation of the parties in the event of any acquisition by the parties of, or offer to acquire, Stapled Units. The Support Agreement prevents (i) Granite GP from acquiring, or offering to acquire, GP Shares unless either of Granite GP or Granite REIT simultaneously acquires, or offers to acquire, the accompanying REIT Units, and (ii) Granite REIT from acquiring, or offering to acquire, REIT Units, unless Granite GP simultaneously acquires, or offers to acquire, the accompanying GP Shares.

The Support Agreement contains provisions to facilitate the preparation and filing of combined financial statements of Granite REIT and Granite GP and other public disclosure documents containing disclosure about Granite REIT and Granite GP. The parties are required to cooperate with each other in the preparation of combined financial statements and other public disclosure documents; provide relevant financial and other information to each other; maintain a consistent financial presentation, to the extent appropriate and practicable in accordance with applicable accounting principles; and maintain the same fiscal year end. The Support Agreement also provides for the cooperation and coordination of the parties in calling and holding meetings of holders of REIT Units and GP Shares, respectively, including having the same record dates and meeting dates, holding concurrent or sequential meetings and cooperating in the preparation of a management information circular and other meeting materials.

DECLARATION OF TRUST AND DESCRIPTION OF REIT UNITS

The following is a summary of certain provisions of the Declaration of Trust and does not purport to be complete and is subject to and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Declaration of Trust, as filed on SEDAR+.

REIT Units

The beneficial interests in Granite REIT are represented and constituted by a single class of ‘‘trust units’’. An unlimited number of REIT Units may be issued pursuant to the Declaration of Trust. Each REIT Unit represents an equal undivided beneficial interest in any distributions by Granite REIT, whether of net income, net realized capital gains or other amounts and, in the event of termination of Granite REIT, in the net assets of Granite REIT remaining after satisfaction of all liabilities, and no REIT Unit has any preference or priority over any other.

No REIT Unitholder is entitled to call for any partition or division of Granite REIT’s property or for a distribution of any particular asset forming part of Granite REIT’s property or of any particular monies or funds received by the Trustees. The legal ownership of the property of Granite REIT and the right to conduct the activities and operations of Granite REIT are vested

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 69

exclusively in the Trustees, and no REIT Unitholder has or is deemed to have any right of ownership in any of the property of Granite REIT, except as a beneficiary of Granite REIT and as specifically provided in the Declaration of Trust.

REIT Unitholders may attend and vote at all meetings of the REIT Unitholders, either in person or by proxy, and each REIT Unit is entitled to one vote at all such meetings or in respect of any written resolution of REIT Unitholders.

Subject to applicable regulatory approval, the issued and outstanding REIT Units may be subdivided or consolidated from time to time by the Trustees without REIT Unitholder approval, provided that if an Event of Uncoupling has not occurred, the REIT Units shall not be subdivided or consolidated unless immediately following such subdivision or consolidation there will be issued and outstanding an equal number of REIT Units and GP Shares.

The REIT Units are not ‘‘deposits’’ within the meaning of the Canada Deposit Insurance Corporation Act and are not insured under the provisions of such Act or any other legislation. Furthermore, Granite REIT is not a trust company and, accordingly, is not registered under any trust and loan company legislation as it does not carry on the business of a trust company.

Allotment and Issue of REIT Units

The consideration for any REIT Unit must be paid in one or more of money, property or past services performed for or for the direct or indirect benefit of Granite REIT, the value of which consideration received by Granite REIT, as determined by the Trustees, equals or exceeds the issue price set for the REIT Unit. Subject to the foregoing and the restrictions noted at ‘‘— Limitations on Non-Resident Ownership of REIT Units’’, the Trustees may allot and issue REIT Units at such time or times and in such manner (including pursuant to any reinvestment plan relating to distributions of Granite REIT or dividends of Granite GP, equity-based compensation plans of Granite REIT, Granite GP or their respective affiliates or pursuant to a unitholder rights plan of Granite REIT and/or shareholder rights plan of Granite GP), and for such consideration and to such person, persons or class of persons as the Trustees in their sole discretion shall determine, provided that, if an Event of Uncoupling has not occurred, no REIT Unit may be issued to any person unless (i) a GP Share is simultaneously issued to such person or (ii) Granite REIT has arranged that REIT Units will be consolidated (subject to any applicable regulatory approval) immediately after such issuance, such that each holder of a REIT Unit will hold an equal number of REIT Units and GP Shares immediately following such consolidation. REIT Units may be issued and sold on an instalment basis, in which event beneficial ownership of such REIT Units may be represented by instalment receipts but shall otherwise be non-assessable. REIT Units may also be issued in satisfaction of any non-cash distribution by Granite REIT to the REIT Unitholders.

The Trustees may also create and issue rights, warrants or options or other instruments or securities (including, subject to the provisions summarized under ‘‘Investment Guidelines and Operating Policies of Granite REIT’’, debt securities) exercisable for, convertible into, exchangeable for or otherwise pursuant to which a holder may subscribe for, acquire or receive payment in, fully paid REIT Units and, provided that an Event of Uncoupling has not occurred, Stapled Units.

Transferability and Stapling of REIT Units

Provided that an Event of Uncoupling has not occurred, each REIT Unit may be transferred only together with a GP Share and, in the event that Granite GP (i) subdivides, re-divides or changes the then outstanding GP Shares into a greater number of GP Shares, (ii) reduces, combines, consolidates or changes the then outstanding GP Shares into a lesser number of GP Shares, or

70 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

(iii) reclassifies or otherwise changes the GP Shares, Granite REIT (subject to any applicable regulatory approval) shall cause a corresponding change to simultaneously be made to, or in, REIT Units unless such event does not result in a holder of a GP Share holding an unequal number of GP Shares and REIT Units (including if a dividend or distribution by Granite GP in the form of GP Shares, or the issuance by Granite GP of GP Shares, which, in each case, is followed immediately by a consolidation after which each holder of a REIT Unit holds an equal number of GP Shares. See also ‘‘— Limitations on Non-Resident Ownership of REIT Units’’.

No transfer of REIT Units shall be effective as against the Trustees or shall be in any way binding upon the Trustees until the transfer has been recorded on the register to be maintained by Granite REIT’s registrar and transfer agent.

Purchases of REIT Units

Granite REIT may purchase or otherwise acquire at any time, in each case for cancellation, the whole or from time to time any part of the outstanding REIT Units, at a price per REIT Unit and on a basis determined by the Trustees in compliance with all applicable securities laws, regulations or policies and the policies of any applicable stock exchange, provided that, if an Event of Uncoupling has not occurred, Granite GP simultaneously purchases the GP Shares stapled to the REIT Units that Granite REIT seeks to purchase or otherwise acquire.

Trustees

Number of Trustees and Quorum

The Declaration of Trust provides that Granite REIT will have a minimum of three and a maximum of 15 Trustees.

The number of Trustees may be fixed within such limits, from time to time, and increased or decreased within such limits, from time to time, by resolution of the Trustees. If the number of Trustees so fixed is increased, the Trustees may, from time to time, appoint one or more additional Trustees to fill such a vacancy, provided that the number of additional Trustees so appointed must not at any time exceed one-third of the number of the current Trustees who were elected or appointed as Trustees other than pursuant to the foregoing.

Trustee Power and Authority

The Trustees, subject only to the specific limitations contained in the Declaration of Trust, including, without limitation, those described under ‘‘Investment Guidelines and Operating Policies of Granite REIT’’ and ‘‘— Amendments to the Declaration of Trust — Amendments by REIT Unitholders’’, shall have, without further or other authorization, action or consent and free from any control or direction on the part of, REIT Unitholders, full, absolute and exclusive power, control and authority over the assets of Granite REIT and over the activities and operations of Granite REIT to the same extent as if the Trustees were the sole and absolute legal and beneficial owners of such assets in their own right, to do all such acts and things as in their sole judgment and discretion are necessary or incidental to, or desirable for, the carrying out of any of the purposes of Granite REIT or the conducting of the activities and operations of Granite REIT.

In particular, the Trustees have the power and authority to, among other things: (a) retain, invest and re-invest the capital or other funds of Granite REIT in real or personal property of any kind; (b) possess and exercise all the rights, powers and privileges appertaining to the ownership of the property of Granite REIT; (c) increase the capital of Granite REIT at any time by the issuance of additional REIT Units; (d) invest in, purchase or otherwise acquire and hold

Term of Trustees

Trustees elected or appointed hold office for a term that, subject to the terms of the Declaration of Trust, expires at the conclusion of the next annual meeting of REIT Unitholders or until their successors are elected or appointed, and shall be eligible for election or re-election.

Residency of Trustees and Quorum

A majority of the Trustees must be Resident Canadians. If at any time a majority of the Trustees are not Resident Canadians because of the resignation, removal, death or change in circumstance of any Trustee who was a Resident Canadian, or there are no Trustees who are Resident Canadians, the Trustee or Trustees who are not Resident Canadians shall, immediately before that time, be deemed to have resigned and shall cease to be Trustees with effect from the time of such deemed resignation.

A quorum of the Trustees will be a majority of the Trustees then holding office, provided that a majority of Trustees present are Resident Canadians.

A majority of meetings of the Trustees in each calendar year must be held in Canada.

Resignation and Removal of Trustees

A Trustee may resign at any time and such resignation shall take effect on the date notice is given or at any later time specified in the notice. A Trustee may be removed at any time (i) with or without cause by a majority of the votes cast at a meeting of REIT Unitholders or (ii) by the other Trustees if the Trustee is convicted of an indictable offence, or if the Trustee ceases to be qualified to act as a trustee of Granite REIT and does not promptly resign. Any removal of a Trustee shall take effect immediately following the aforesaid vote or resolution.

72 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

Vacancies

The resignation, deemed resignation, removal or death of a Trustee, or failure of the REIT Unitholders to elect some, but not all, of the required number of Trustees, shall cause a vacancy to occur and a majority of the Trustees continuing in office may fill such a vacancy; provided that, if such vacancy arises as a result of removal of a Trustee by REIT Unitholders, such vacancy may be filled by the REIT Unitholders electing a replacement Trustee at the meeting at which the Trustee is removed. If REIT Unitholders fail to elect any Trustees, the Trustees then in office will continue to hold office, subject to the terms of the Declaration of Trust.

Until vacancies resulting from the resignation, deemed resignation, removal or death of a Trustee are filled (through election by REIT Unitholders, appointment by the remaining Trustees or otherwise in accordance with the Declaration of Trust), the remaining Trustee or Trustees (even if less than a quorum) may exercise the powers of the Trustees under the Declaration of Trust.

If at any time the number of Trustees is less than the required number and the remaining Trustee or Trustees fail or are unable to appoint one or more additional Trustees or if, upon the deemed resignation of one or more Trustees there would be no Trustees, then the Trustees then in office shall promptly call a special meeting of REIT Unitholders to fill the vacancies (and conduct such other business, if any, that may be dealt with at that meeting) and, if they fail to call a meeting or if there are no Trustees then in office, the meeting may be called by any REIT Unitholder.

Standard of Care of Trustees, Indemnification and Limitations of Liability

The Declaration of Trust provides that that the Trustees shall exercise their powers and carry out their functions thereunder honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Granite REIT and the REIT Unitholders and that in connection therewith the Trustees shall exercise the care, diligence and skill that a reasonably prudent individual would exercise in comparable circumstances.

The Declaration of Trust provides that the Trustees shall at all times be indemnified and saved harmless out of the property of Granite REIT from and against losses which the Trustees may suffer, sustain, incur or be required to pay as a result of, or in connection with any claim for or in respect of any act, deed, matter or thing whatsoever made, done, acquiesced in or omitted in or about or in relation to the execution of their duties as Trustees and also from and against all other losses which they sustain or incur in or about or in relation to the activities and operations of Granite REIT, unless: (i) at the time that the indemnity or payment is made, Granite REIT was prohibited from giving the indemnity or paying the expenses by the then governing declaration of trust; (ii) in relation to the subject matter of any proceeding or investigation for which indemnification is sought, the Trustee did not act honestly and in good faith with a view to the best interests of Granite REIT and the REIT Unitholders; or (iii) in the case of any criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Trustee did not have reasonable grounds for believing that the Trustee’s conduct in respect of which the proceeding was brought was lawful. The Declaration of Trust also provides, in certain circumstances, for the advance of funds to a Trustee and repayment of such funds to Granite REIT.

Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, none of the Trustees or any agent of Granite REIT shall be liable to Granite REIT or any REIT Unitholder or former REIT Unitholder for (i) any action taken in good faith in reliance on any documents that are, prima facie, properly executed, (ii) any depreciation of, or loss to, Granite REIT incurred by reason of the sale of any security, (iii) the

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 73

loss or disposition of monies or securities, or (iv) any other action or failure to act, including the failure to compel in any way any former or acting Trustee to redress any breach of trust or any failure by any person to perform obligations or pay monies owed to Granite REIT, except for a breach of the duties and standard of care, diligence and skill set out above. If the Trustees have retained an appropriate expert or advisor with respect to any matter connected with their duties under the Declaration of Trust, the Trustees may in good faith act or refuse to act based on the advice of such expert or advisor and, notwithstanding any provision of the Declaration of Trust, including the duties and standard of care, diligence and skill set out above, the Trustees will not be liable for any action or refusal to act in good faith based on the advice of any such expert or advisor which it is reasonable to conclude is within the expertise of such expert or advisor to give. The Declaration of Trust further provides that (i) subject to the duties and standard of care, diligence and skill set out above, none of the Trustees nor any agent of Granite REIT shall be subject to any liability in their personal capacities for any debts, liabilities, obligations, claims, demands, judgments, costs, charges or expenses (including legal expenses) against or with respect to Granite REIT or in respect to the activities of Granite REIT, (ii) other than the property and assets of Granite REIT, no property or assets of the Trustees, owned in their personal capacity or otherwise, will be subject to any levy, execution or other enforcement procedure with regard to any obligations of Granite REIT under the Declaration of Trust or under any other agreements and no recourse with respect to such obligations may be had or taken, directly or indirectly, against the Trustees in any capacity other than their capacity as Trustees of Granite REIT or against any successor, heir, executor, administrator or legal representative of the Trustees, and (iii) Granite REIT shall be solely liable therefor and resort shall be had solely to the property and assets of Granite REIT for payment or performance thereof.

The Declaration of Trust also provides that the foregoing matters in this paragraph will apply mutatis mutandis to each individual who: (i) is or was an officer of Granite REIT; (ii) was a Trustee; (iii) is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of Granite GP or of a person at a time when that person is or was an affiliate of Granite REIT or of Granite GP; (iv) at the request of Granite REIT or Granite GP, is or was, or holds or held a position equivalent to that of, a director or officer of a person; and the heirs and personal or other legal representatives of any of the foregoing individuals or an individual who is a Trustee. Granite REIT shall also indemnify any such persons in such other circumstances as the Declaration of Trust or law permits or requires.

REIT Unit Redemption Right

REIT Units are redeemable at any time on demand by the holders thereof; provided that, prior to an Event of Uncoupling, a REIT Unit may only be redeemed together with a tender for retraction by the holder of a GP Share forming part of the applicable Stapled Unit. A REIT Unitholder who wishes to exercise the redemption right is required to duly complete and properly execute a notice, in a form approved by the Trustees, requiring Granite REIT to redeem that number of REIT Units specified in the notice, which notice shall be sent to the head office of Granite REIT or any principal office of the transfer agent in respect of REIT Units. No form or manner of completion or execution of a notice shall be sufficient unless the same is in all respects satisfactory to the Trustees and is accompanied by any further evidence that the Trustees may reasonably require with respect to the identity, capacity or authority of the person giving such notice.

On Granite REIT’s acceptance of the notice to redeem REIT Units, the REIT Unitholder shall thereafter cease to have any rights with respect to the REIT Units tendered for redemption (other than to receive the redemption payment therefor) including the right to receive any distributions thereon which are declared payable to the REIT Unitholders of record on a date

74 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

which is subsequent to the day of receipt by Granite REIT of such notice. REIT Units shall be deemed to be tendered for redemption on the date (the ‘‘Unit Redemption Date’’) that Granite REIT has, to the satisfaction of the Trustees, received the notice and other required documents or evidence. All REIT Units redeemed by Granite REIT will be cancelled.

A REIT Unitholder shall, upon Granite REIT’s receipt of a valid redemption notice, be entitled to be paid, in respect of each REIT Unit so tendered for redemption an amount per REIT Unit (the ‘‘Unit Redemption Price’’) equal to:

(i) prior to an Event of Uncoupling, the amount by which the lesser of:

(a) 95% of the ‘‘market price’’ of a Stapled Unit on the TSX (or, if not traded on the TSX, another applicable principal market), during the 10-trading day period commencing immediately after the Unit Redemption Date; and

(b) the ‘‘closing market price’’ of a Stapled Unit on the TSX (or, if not traded on the TSX, another applicable principal market), on the Unit Redemption Date; exceeds the retraction price of a GP Share on the Unit Redemption Date; or

(ii) following an Event of Uncoupling, the lesser of:

(a) 95% of the ‘‘market price’’ of a REIT Unit on the TSX (or, if not traded on the TSX, another applicable principal market), during the 10-trading day period commencing immediately after the Unit Redemption Date; and

(b) the ‘‘closing market price’’ of a REIT Unit on the TSX (or, if not traded on the TSX, another applicable principal market), on the Unit Redemption Date.

For the purposes of the foregoing,

(i) the ‘‘market price’’ of a Stapled Unit (or REIT Unit) will be an amount equal to the volume weighted average of the trading prices of the Stapled Units (or REIT Units) for each of the trading days on which there was a trade of Stapled Units (or REIT Units) during the specified 10-trading day period; provided that if there was trading on the applicable exchange or market for fewer than five of the 10- trading days, the ‘‘market price’’ shall be the simple average of the following prices established for each of the 10 trading days: for each day on which there was no trading, the average of the last bid and ask prices; and for each day that there was trading, the volume weighted average trading price of the Stapled Units (or REIT Units); and

(ii) the ‘‘closing market price’’ of a Stapled Unit (or REIT Unit) for a particular date shall be an amount equal to: (a) the closing price of the Stapled Units (or REIT Units) if there was a trade on that date and the exchange or market provides a closing price; b) the average of the highest and lowest prices of Stapled Units (or REIT Units) if there was trading and the exchange or other market provides only the highest and lowest trading prices of Stapled Units (or REIT Units) traded on that date; and (c) the average of the last bid and last ask prices of the Stapled Units (or REIT Units) if there was no trading on that date.

The aggregate cash redemption price payable by Granite REIT in respect of all REIT Units tendered for redemption during any calendar month shall be satisfied by way of a cash payment on or before the last day of the calendar month following the month in which the REIT Units were tendered for redemption, provided that such entitlement to receive cash shall not be applicable to REIT Units tendered for redemption by a REIT Unitholder, if:

(i) the total amount payable by Granite REIT in respect of REIT Units tendered for redemption in a calendar month and the total amount payable by Granite GP in respect of GP Shares tendered for retraction in the same calendar month exceeds

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 75

$100,000; provided that the Trustees may, in their sole discretion, waive such limitation in respect of all REIT Units tendered for redemption in any calendar month;

(ii) at the time the REIT Units are tendered for redemption, the outstanding REIT Units or, prior to an Event of Uncoupling, Stapled Units are not listed for trading or quoted on any stock exchange or market which, in the sole discretion of the Trustees, provides representative fair market value prices for the REIT Units or Stapled Units, as the case may be; or

(iii) the normal trading of the outstanding REIT Units or, prior to an Event of Uncoupling, Stapled Units is suspended or halted on any stock exchange on which the REIT Units or Stapled Units, as applicable, are listed for trading or, if not so listed, on any market on which the REIT Units or Stapled Units, as applicable, are quoted for trading, on the Unit Redemption Date for such REIT Units or for more than five trading days during the 10-trading day period commencing immediately after the Unit Redemption Date for such REIT Units.

If a REIT Unitholder is not entitled to receive its entire redemption price in cash upon the redemption of REIT Units as a result of one or more of the foregoing limitations, then each REIT Unit tendered for redemption will, subject to any applicable regulatory approvals, be paid and satisfied by way of a distribution in specie to such REIT Unitholder consisting of notes of Granite LP or another subsidiary of Granite LP having a net asset value in excess of $50 million, having a maturity date of 10 years from their date of issue, a principal amount equal to the applicable Unit Redemption Price and an interest rate which, as determined by the general partner of Granite LP, (or, following an Event of Uncoupling, by the Trustees), will result in such notes having a fair market value equal to their principal amount (such notes, the ‘‘Unit Redemption Assets’’). The Unit Redemption Price payable in respect of such REIT Units tendered for redemption during any month shall be paid by the transfer of the Unit Redemption Assets, to or to the order of the REIT Unitholder who exercised the right of redemption, on or before the last business day of the calendar month following the month in which the REIT Units were tendered for redemption. No principal amount of Unit Redemption Assets that is not an integral multiple of $10 will be distributed and, where Unit Redemption Assets to be received by a former REIT Unitholder include a principal amount that is not an integral multiple of $10, the principal amount of such Redemption Assets shall be rounded to the nearest integral multiple of $10 (with $5 being rounded up).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Granite GP has the right (the ‘‘GP Redemption Right’’) to require Granite REIT to redeem at any time or from time to time at the demand of Granite GP all or any part of the REIT Units that Granite GP may acquire from time to time pursuant to any issuer bid for Stapled Units. Each redemption by Granite REIT pursuant to the GP Redemption Right of a REIT Unit forming part of a Stapled Unit acquired by Granite GP pursuant to an issuer bid shall occur immediately and concurrently with the cancellation by Granite GP of the GP Share forming part of such Stapled Unit.

Meetings of REIT Unitholders

Annual and Other Meetings

The Declaration of Trust provides that there shall be an annual meeting of the REIT Unitholders at such time and place in Canada as the Trustees shall prescribe for the purpose of electing Trustees, appointing the auditors of Granite REIT and transacting such other business as the Trustees may determine or as may properly be brought before the meeting. The annual meeting of REIT Unitholders may be held at the same time and place as the annual meeting of GP Shareholders.

76 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

A meeting of REIT Unitholders may be convened at any time and place and for any purpose by the Trustees and must be convened (subject to, and on the same terms, conditions and exceptions which apply to a corporation governed by the BCBCA), if requisitioned by REIT Unitholders holding in the aggregate not less than 5% of the outstanding REIT Units.

REIT Unitholders may attend and vote at all meetings of the REIT Unitholders either in person or by proxy and a proxyholder need not be a REIT Unitholder. The quorum of REIT Unitholders for the transaction of business at a meeting of REIT Unitholders shall exist where two or more REIT Unitholders holding REIT Units carrying not less than 25% of the number of votes attached to all REIT Units entitled to be voted at such meeting are present in person or represented by proxy. Any meeting of REIT Unitholders may be held partially or entirely by means of a telephonic, electronic or other communications medium. The Declaration of Trust contains further provisions as to quorum, the notice required and other procedures with respect to the calling and holding of meetings of REIT Unitholders.

Matters on which REIT Unitholders Shall Vote

The Declaration of Trust provides that none of the following shall occur unless the same has been duly approved by the REIT Unitholders at a meeting duly called and held:

(i) subject to certain exceptions (see ‘‘— Trustees’’), the appointment, election or removal of Trustees;

(ii) the appointment or removal of auditors of Granite REIT;

(iii) any amendment to the Declaration of Trust (except as noted at ‘‘Investment Guidelines and Operating Policies of Granite — Amendments to Investment Guidelines and Operating Policies’’ or "— Amendments to the Declaration of Trust — Amendments by Trustees’’); or

(iv) the matters noted at ‘‘— Amendments to the Declaration of Trust — Amendments by

REIT Unitholders’’.

Except with respect to the matters specified above or as noted under ‘‘— Amendments to the Declaration of Trust", no vote of the REIT Unitholders will in any way bind the Trustees.

REIT Unitholder Proposals

REIT Unitholders have a right to submit written notice to Granite REIT of any matter that the person wishes to have considered at the next annual meeting of REIT Unitholders (a “Proposal”) and to present at the meeting the Proposal, provided that they are a Qualified Unitholder (as defined below) at the time.

A Proposal may include nominations for the election of trustees if the Proposal is made in compliance with Granite REIT’s Advance Notice Provisions. See “- Advance Notice Provisions” below.

To be eligible to submit a Proposal, a person must be a registered or beneficial owner of one or more REIT Units that carry the right to vote at general meetings for an uninterrupted period of at least two years before the date of signing the Proposal (a “Qualified Unitholder”). A person is not a Qualified Unitholder if, within two years before the signing of such Proposal, the person failed to present at a meeting of REIT Unitholders, a Proposal that, at the person’s request, had been included in a proxy circular relating to a meeting of the REIT Unitholders.

A Proposal is valid if, among other things, (i) it includes the signature of the person submitting the Proposal and persons in support of the Proposal; (ii) it is signed by Qualified Unitholders

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 77

who, together with the person that submits the Proposal, at the time of signing, are the registered holders or beneficial owners of REIT Units that, in the aggregate, (A) constitute not less than 1% of the combined total number of outstanding REIT Units, or (B) have a fair market value in excess of $2,000; (iii) the Proposal is accompanied by a declaration from the person submitting the Proposal and each supporter, signed by person submitting the Proposal and each supporter, as the case may be, or, in the case of a person submitting or supporting the Proposal that is a corporation, by a director or senior officer of the signatory, (A) providing the name and mailing address of that signatory; (B) declaring the number of REIT Units owned by that signatory as a registered or beneficial owner; and (C) unless the name of the registered owner has already been provided in the Proposal, providing the name of the registered owner of those REIT Units; and (iv) the Proposal and the declarations are received at the registered office of Granite REIT at least three months before the anniversary of the previous year’s annual meeting of REIT Unitholders.

Granite REIT will include in, or attach to, its proxy circular delivered in connection with its annual meeting, the text of the Proposal, the names and mailing addresses of the submitter and supporters of the Proposal, and, if requested by the submitting person, include a statement in support of the Proposal by such person, such statement, together with the Proposal, not to exceed 1,000 words exclusive of the prescribed information referred to above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Granite REIT shall not be obligated to include such materials/information in its circular if (i) the Proposal is submitted to Granite REIT less than three months before the anniversary date of the prior year’s annual meeting; (ii) the Trustees have called an annual general meeting to be held after the date on which the Proposal is received by Granite REIT and have sent notice of that meeting in accordance with the Declaration of Trust; (iii) the Proposal is not validly submitted or exceeds the maximum length; (iv) it clearly appears that the primary purpose of the Proposal is to enforce a personal claim or redress personal grievance or the Proposal does not relate in a significant way to the business or affairs of Granite REIT; (v) substantially the same Proposal was submitted to REIT Unitholders within the preceding five years and did not receive the required support (being 3% of total REIT Units voted if the Proposal was introduced at one annual meeting, 6% of total REIT Units voted if the Proposal introduced at two annual meetings, and 10% of total REIT Units voted if the Proposal introduced at three or more annual meetings); (vi) the Proposal has already been substantially implemented; (vii) the Proposal, if implemented, would cause Granite REIT to commit an offence; or (viii) the Proposal deals with matters beyond Granite REIT’s power to implement.

Advance Notice Provisions

The Declaration of Trust requires advance notice to be given to Granite REIT of REIT Unitholder proposals relating to the nomination of Trustees (the “Advance Notice Provisions”).

To be an eligible REIT Unitholder for making nominations under the Advance Notice Provisions, the nominating REIT Unitholder (a “Nominating Unitholder”) must (a) comply with the notice procedures set forth in the Advance Notice Provisions, as provided for below, and (b) at the close of business on the date of the giving of the applicable notice and on the record date for notice of the applicable REIT Unitholder meeting, be entered in Granite REIT’s register as a holder of one or more REIT Units carrying the right to vote at such meeting or beneficially own REIT Units that are entitled to be voted at such meeting.

In addition to any other applicable requirements, for a nomination to be made by a Nominating Unitholder, the Nominating Unitholder must have given timely notice thereof to the Trustees in the prescribed manner.

78 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

To be timely, a Nominating Unitholder’s notice to the Trustees must be made, among other things: (i) in the case of an annual meeting of REIT Unitholders, not less than 30 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date (the “Notice Date”) on which the first public announcement of the date of such meeting was made, notice may be given not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the Notice Date; (ii) in the case of a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of REIT Unitholders called for the purpose of electing Trustees (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the fifteenth day following the Notice Date; and (iii) in the case of an annual meeting of REIT Unitholders or a special meeting (which is not also an annual meeting) of REIT Unitholders called for the purpose of electing Trustees (whether or not also called for other purposes) where “notice-and-access” (as defined in National Instrument 54-101- Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer) is used for delivery of proxy-related materials and the Notice Date is not less than 50 days before the date of the meeting, not less than 40 days prior to the date of the meeting.

To be in proper written form, a Nominating Unitholder’s notice to the Trustees must, among other things, set forth: (i) as to each person whom the Nominating Unitholder proposes to nominate for election as a Trustee: (A) the name, age, province or state, and country of residence of the person; (B) the principal occupation or employment of the person; (C) whether the person is a Resident Canadian; (D) the class or series and number of REIT Units which are controlled or which are owned beneficially or of record by the person as of the record date for the meeting of REIT Unitholders (if such date shall then have been made publicly available and shall have occurred) and as of the date of such notice; and (E) any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a dissident’s proxy circular in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of Trustees pursuant to applicable securities laws; and (ii) as to the Nominating Unitholder giving the notice, any proxy, contract, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which such Nominating Unitholder has a right to vote any REIT Units and any other information relating to such Nominating Unitholder that would be required to be made in a dissident’s proxy circular in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of Trustees pursuant to applicable securities laws.

Limitations on Non-Resident Ownership of REIT Units

At no time may more than 49% (on either a basic or fully-diluted basis) of the REIT Units be held for the benefit of any Non-Resident Beneficiaries. The Trustees may require declarations as to the jurisdictions in which beneficial owners of REIT Units are resident or declarations from holders of REIT Units as to whether such REIT Units are held for the benefit of Non-Resident Beneficiaries. If the Trustees become aware that more than 49% (on either a basic or fully-diluted basis) of the REIT Units then outstanding are, or may be, held for the benefit of Non-Resident Beneficiaries or that such a situation is imminent, the Trustees may cause Granite REIT to make a public announcement thereof and shall not accept a subscription for REIT Units from or issue or register a transfer of REIT Units to a person unless the person provides a declaration that the person is not a Non-Resident (or, in the discretion of the Trustees, that the person is not a Non-Resident Beneficiary) and does not hold its REIT Units for a Non-Resident Beneficiary. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustees determine that more than 49% of the REIT Units (on either a basic or fully-diluted basis) are held for the benefit of Non-Resident Beneficiaries, the Trustees may cause Granite REIT to send a notice to Non-Resident holders of REIT Units, chosen in inverse order to the order of acquisition or registration or in such manner as the Trustees may consider equitable and practicable, requiring them to sell their REIT Units or a portion thereof within a specified period of not more than 60 days. If the REIT Unitholders receiving such notice have not sold the specified number of REIT Units or provided the Trustees with satisfactory evidence that they are not Non-Residents and do not hold their REIT Units for the benefit of Non-Resident Beneficiaries within such period, the Trustees may cause

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 79

Granite REIT to sell such REIT Units on behalf of such REIT Unitholders and, in the interim, the voting and distribution rights attached to such REIT Units shall be suspended. Upon such sale the affected holders shall cease to be holders of REIT Units and their rights shall be limited to receiving the net proceeds from such sale.

(vi) such amendments to the Declaration of Trust as the Trustees in their discretion deem necessary or desirable (a) as a result of changes in the taxation laws from time to time which may affect Granite REIT, the REIT Unitholders, annuitants or beneficiaries under a plan of which a REIT Unitholder acts as a trustee or a carrier, or to qualify for a particular status under taxation laws including to qualify as a ‘‘mutual fund trust’’ or a ‘‘real estate investment trust’’ for purposes of the Tax Act or to otherwise prevent Granite REIT or any of its subsidiaries from becoming subject to taxation under the SIFT Rules or under Part XII.2 of the Tax Act, or (b) as a result of changes in accounting standards (including the implementation of IFRS) from time to time which may affect Granite REIT, the REIT Unitholders or annuitants or beneficiaries under a plan of which a REIT Unitholder acts as a trustee or a carrier;

(vii) amendments which in the opinion of the Trustees are not prejudicial to REIT Unitholders and are necessary or desirable (which, for greater certainty, exclude amendments in respect of which a REIT Unitholder vote is specifically otherwise required); and (vii) amendments which in the opinion of the Trustees are necessary or desirable to enable Granite REIT to issue REIT Units for which the purchase price is payable on an instalment basis.

Written Resolutions of REIT Unitholders

A resolution signed in writing by REIT Unitholders shall be deemed to be a proceeding at a meeting of REIT Unitholders and to be as valid and effective as if it had been passed at a meeting of REIT Unitholders if all the REIT Unitholders who are entitled to vote at an annual meeting consent by a unanimous resolution to all of the business that is required to be transacted at that annual meeting.

The Declaration of Trust may not be amended to require a greater number of votes of REIT Unitholders to remove a Trustee unless all REIT Unitholders consent by a unanimous written resolution.

Ratifying Amendments to the Declaration of Trust

An amendment to the Declaration of Trust described under sections (vii) and (viii) of “- Amendments by Trustees” above shall be subject to the following ratifying procedures:

a.Such an amendment shall be submitted by the Trustees to the REIT Unitholders at the next meeting of REIT Unitholders, and the REIT Unitholders are entitled to vote on the amendment may, by a majority of the votes cast at such meeting of REIT Unitholders, confirm, reject or amend the amendment to the Declaration of Trust.

b.Such an amendment is effective from the date the amended Declaration of Trust is signed which reflects the amendment approved by the Trustees until it is confirmed, confirmed as amended or rejected by the REIT Unitholders or until it ceases to be effective as described below, and, where the amendment is confirmed or confirmed as amended, it continues in effect in the form in which it was so confirmed.

c.If such an amendment is rejected by the REIT Unitholders, or if the Trustees do not submit such an amendment to the REIT Unitholders, in either case as required, the amendment ceases to be effective immediately after the meeting of REIT Unitholders referred to in (a) and no subsequent resolution of the Trustees to amend the Declaration of Trust having substantially the same purpose or effect is effective until it is

confirmed or confirmed as amended by the REIT Unitholders. The Trustees shall sign an amended and restated Declaration of Trust which removes the rejected or unapproved amendment.

REIT Unitholder Remedies

Dissent and Appraisal Rights

The Declaration of Trust contains provisions entitling a REIT Unitholder who is entitled to vote at a meeting of REIT Unitholders, upon compliance with the requirements set out in the Declaration of Trust, to dissent to certain fundamental changes and transactions resolved by Granite REIT, including:

a.if Granite REIT resolves to amend the Declaration of Trust to add, change or remove any restriction on the business that Granite REIT may carry on;

b.in respect of a resolution to approve an arrangement, the terms of which arrangement permit dissent;

c.if Granite REIT resolves to sell, lease, transfer or exchange all or substantially all the property and assets of the Trust;

d.in respect of any other resolution, if dissent is authorized by the resolution;

e.in respect of any court order that permits dissent; or

f.provided that an Event of Uncoupling has not occurred, if the REIT Unitholder has a right to dissent in respect of GP Shares held by the dissenting REIT Unitholder.

A REIT Unitholder wishing to dissent must: (i) prepare a separate notice of dissent in accordance with the terms of the Declaration of Trust for (A) the REIT Unitholder, if the REIT Unitholder is dissenting on the REIT Unitholder’s own behalf, and (B) each other person who beneficially owns REIT Units registered in the REIT Unitholder’s name and on whose behalf the REIT Unitholder is dissenting; (ii) identify in each notice of dissent the person on whose behalf dissent is being exercised in that notice of dissent; and (iii) dissent with respect to all of the REIT Units registered in the REIT Unitholder’s name, of which the person identified under item (ii) is the beneficial owner.

A person who wishes to have dissent exercised with respect to REIT Units of which the person is the beneficial owner must: (i) dissent with respect to all of the REIT Unit, if any, of which the person is both the registered owner and the beneficial owner, and (ii) cause each REIT Unitholder who is a registered owner of any other REIT Units of which the person is the beneficial owner to dissent with respect to all of those REIT Units.

A REIT Unitholder that dissents in accordance with the procedures under the Declaration of Trust will be entitled, at the time the approved action from which the REIT Unitholder dissents becomes effective, to receive the agreed upon payout value (being the fair value of the REIT Units at the applicable time, excluding any appreciation or depreciation in anticipation of the corporate action approved or authorized by the resolution or court order unless exclusion would be inequitable) of the REIT Units held by such dissenting REIT Unitholder in respect of which the REIT Unitholder dissents.

The Declaration of Trust includes requirements for submitting REIT Units to be cancelled and receipt of the payout value payment owed, by which Granite REIT and the dissenting REIT Unitholder must adhere to for the purposes of complying with the Declaration of Trust.

82 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

Granite REIT and each dissenting REIT Unitholder may enter into an agreement with respect to the payout value of the REIT Units, following which Granite REIT must promptly pay that amount to the dissenter. The proposed provisions will provide for the ability to make application to a court if Granite REIT and the dissenting REIT Unitholder fail to agree upon the payout value for the REIT Units, for purposes of the court fixing a payout value for the REIT Units of any dissenting REIT Unitholder, or to order that the payout value of those REIT Units be established by arbitration or by reference to the registrar, or a referee of, the court.

A REIT Unitholder may not waive generally a right to dissent but may, in writing, waive the right to dissent with respect to a particular action.

Oppression Remedy

The Declaration of Trust provides certain persons with the right to an oppression remedy.

REIT Unitholders and any other person who in the discretion of the court is a proper person to make an application (each, a “Complainant”) may apply to a court on the ground: (i) that the affairs of Granite REIT are being or have been conducted, or that the powers of the Trustees are being or have been exercised, in a manner oppressive to one or more of the REIT Unitholders, including the applicant; or (ii) that some act of Granite REIT has been done or is threatened, or that some resolution of the REIT Unitholders has been passed or is proposed, that is unfairly prejudicial to one or more of the REIT Unitholders, including the applicant.

On an application to the court, the court may, if it is satisfied that the application was brought by a Complainant in a timely matter, with a view to remedying or bringing to an end the matters complained of, make any interim or final order it considers appropriate.

Term of Granite REIT

Granite REIT has been established for a term that will continue for so long as any of the Granite REIT property is held by the Trustees, unless earlier terminated by the REIT Unitholders (see ‘‘Declaration of Trust and Description of REIT Units —Amendments to the Declaration of Trust — Amendments by REIT Unitholders’’).

The Declaration of Trust provides that upon the termination of Granite REIT, the liabilities of Granite REIT will be discharged or provided for with due speed and the net assets of Granite REIT will be liquidated and the proceeds distributed proportionately to the REIT Unitholders, unless some other procedure is provided for by resolution of REIT Unitholders in compliance with the Declaration of Trust. Such distribution may be made in cash or in kind or partly in each, all as the Trustees in their sole discretion may determine.

Acquisition Offers

The Declaration of Trust contains provisions (consistent with those applicable to Granite GP under the BCBCA) to the effect that if an offer is made to acquire Stapled Units and, within four months after the making of the offer, the offer is accepted by REIT Unitholders who, in aggregate, hold at least 90% of the Stapled Units, other than Stapled Units already held at the date of the offer by, or by a nominee of, the offeror or its affiliates, the offeror will be entitled to acquire the REIT Units held by REIT Unitholders who did not accept the offer, on the terms on which the offeror acquired REIT Units from REIT Unitholders who accepted the offer.

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 83

Information and Reports

The Declaration of Trust provides that within such time period as is acceptable under National Instrument 51-102 — Continuous Disclosure Obligations, as amended from time to time (or other equivalent applicable regulations or successors thereto) ("NI 51-102"), upon a REIT Unitholder’s request or otherwise as required by applicable law, the Trustees will send or make available to REIT Unitholders the audited comparative financial statements for each fiscal year required to be sent or made available to REIT Unitholders under applicable securities laws (including any exemption therefrom, and including combined financial statements of Granite REIT and Granite GP, if and as applicable). Within such time period as is acceptable under NI 51-102, after the end of each of the first three fiscal quarters of each year, upon a REIT Unitholder’s request or otherwise as required by applicable law, the Trustees will also send or make available the unaudited comparative financial statements for the period then ended required to be sent or made available to REIT Unitholders under applicable securities laws (including any exemption therefrom, and including combined financial statements of Granite REIT and Granite GP, if and as applicable).

The Trustees will supply REIT Unitholders with any information that may be required by them in connection with their obligations under the Tax Act and equivalent provincial legislation.

Conflict of Interest Provisions

The Declaration of Trust contains ‘‘conflict of interest’’ provisions that serve to protect REIT Unitholders without creating undue limitations on Granite REIT. The Declaration of Trust contains provisions, similar to those contained in the BCBCA, that require disclosure from a Trustee or officer of Granite REIT in respect of a contract or transaction that (i) is material to Granite REIT, (ii) Granite REIT has entered, or proposes to enter, into, and (iii) either: (a) the Trustee or officer of Granite REIT has a material interest in; or (b) is with a person of which the Trustee or officer of Granite REIT is a director or officer or in which the Trustee or officer of Granite REIT has a material interest (each a ‘‘Disclosable Interest’’). Similar to the BCBCA, the Declaration of Trust provides that a Trustee or officer of Granite REIT does not hold a Disclosable Interest in a contract or transaction merely because, among other reasons: (i) the contract or transaction is an arrangement by way of security granted by Granite REIT for money loaned to, or obligations undertaken by, the Trustee or officer of Granite REIT, or a person in whom the Trustee or officer of Granite REIT has a material interest, for the benefit of Granite REIT or an affiliate of Granite REIT; (ii) the contract or transaction relates to an indemnity or insurance for one or more Trustees or officers of Granite REIT in accordance with the Declaration of Trust; (iii) the contract or transaction relates to the remuneration of the Trustee or officer of Granite REIT in that person’s capacity as a Trustee (or director), officer, employee or agent of Granite REIT or of an affiliate of Granite REIT; (iv) the contract or transaction relates to a loan to Granite REIT, and the Trustee or officer of Granite REIT, or a person in whom the Trustee or officer of Granite REIT has a material interest, is or is to be a guarantor of some or all of the loan; or (v) the contract or transaction has been or will be made with or for the benefit of a person that is affiliated with Granite REIT and the Trustee or officer of Granite REIT is also a Trustee, director or officer of that person or an affiliate of that person. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, prior to an Event of Uncoupling, no Trustee or officer of Granite REIT will have a Disclosable Interest in a contract or transaction or proposed contract or transaction with Granite REIT solely by virtue of such person being a director or officer of Granite GP or Granite LP or any of their affiliates. The Declaration of Trust will also provide that a Trustee who has such a Disclosable Interest in a contract or transaction into which Granite REIT has entered or proposes to enter is not entitled to vote on any resolution to approve that contract or transaction, unless all the Trustees have such a Disclosable Interest in that contract or transaction, in which case any or all of the Trustees may vote on such resolution, however,

84 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

subject to certain exceptions, the Trustees will be liable to account to Granite REIT for any profit that accrues to the Trustee under or as a result of such a contract or transaction.

GRANITE GP CAPITAL STRUCTURE

Granite GP’s authorized share capital consists of an unlimited number of GP Shares without par value. Until an Event of Uncoupling occurs, GP Shares will trade together with REIT Units as Stapled Units.

GP Shareholders are entitled to: (i) one vote per share at all meetings of shareholders (except for meetings of holders of another specified class or series of Granite GP shares); (ii) receive pari passu with other GP Shareholders, any dividends as and when declared by the Directors; and (iii) receive pari passu with other GP Shareholders the remaining assets of Granite GP available for distribution to GP Shareholders in the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of Granite GP.

Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Uncoupling, GP Shareholders can require Granite GP to redeem their GP Shares provided that Stapled Units are in existence at the time at which redemption is sought, and that the holder simultaneously tenders to Granite REIT for redemption an equal number of REIT Units held by the holder. In order to exercise this right of retraction, a GP Shareholder will have to give the required notice to Granite GP and will be entitled to receive a redemption price per share equal to 0.001% of the lesser of 95% of the ‘‘market price’’ and ‘‘closing market price’’ of the Stapled Units, as described above under ‘‘Declaration of Trust and Description of REIT Units — REIT Unit Redemption Right’’.

Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Uncoupling, (i) a GP Share may only be transferred together with a REIT Unit, and (ii) no GP Share may be issued unless (a) it is issued in conjunction with the concurrent issue of a REIT Unit to form a Stapled Unit, or (b) Granite GP has arranged that the GP Shares will be consolidated (subject to any applicable regulatory approval) immediately after such issuance, such that each holder of a GP Share will hold an equal number of GP Shares and REIT Units immediately following such consolidation.

Credit Facility

As at December 31, 2023, Granite LP is the borrower under the Credit Facility in the amount of $1.0 billion (which may be increased with the consent of lenders participating in such increase provided that no increase beyond $450.0 million is permitted without the consent of all of the lenders under the Credit Facility). The Credit Facility matures on March 31, 2028, although Granite LP has the option to extend the maturity date by one year to March 31, 2029, subject to the agreement of lenders in respect of a minimum of 66 2/3% of the aggregate amount committed under the facility. Granite LP is permitted to borrow under the facility by way of Canadian dollar, US dollar or Euro-denominated loans or Canadian dollar or US dollar-denominated letters of credit. Interest on drawn amounts is calculated based on an applicable margin determined by reference to the external credit rating of Granite REIT and Granite GP, as is a commitment fee in respect of undrawn amounts. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by Granite REIT and Granite GP. Although Granite LP is the borrower under the Credit Facility, the financial covenants must be satisfied on the basis of the combined financial statements of Granite REIT and Granite GP.

As at December 31, 2023, Granite LP had no amounts drawn (2022 - nil) on the Credit Facility and $2.9 million (2022 - $3.5 million) in letters of credit issued against the Credit Facility. At December 31, 2023, Granite was in compliance with all of the covenants.

Term Loans

On December 19, 2018, Granite LP entered into the 2024 Term Loan. The initial maturity date of the 2024 Term Loan was December 19, 2022. On October 10, 2019, Granite extended the 2024 Term Loan for two years, on the same terms, to mature on December 19, 2024. The 2024 Term Loan was available in US dollars in one drawdown and is fully prepayable without penalty. Any amount repaid may not be re-borrowed. Interest on drawn amounts is calculated based on SOFR plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the external credit rating of Granite LP. The 2024 Term Loan’s interest was initially based on LIBOR plus an applicable margin, but as the Federal Reserve Board discontinued the publication of the US dollar LIBOR benchmark rates on June 30, 2023 and replaced it with SOFR, on April 19, 2023, Granite amended the 2024 Term Loan to update the benchmark rates in these agreements from LIBOR to SOFR, including a fixed spread for the basis difference between LIBOR and SOFR, without any economic impact to Granite. The 2024 Term Loan is guaranteed by Granite REIT and Granite GP. Although Granite LP is the borrower under the 2024 Term Loan, the financial covenants must be satisfied on the basis of the combined financial statements of Granite REIT and Granite GP. On December 19, 2018, Granite LP drew the full US$185.0 million available under the 2024 Term Loan. As at December 31, 2023, the full US$185.0 million remained outstanding under the 2024 Term Loan.

Effective October 21, 2019, Granite amended the terms of its existing 1.225% cross currency interest rate swap to extend it from December 19, 2022 to December 19, 2024 and reset the Euro fixed rate from 1.225% to 0.522%. Under the 0.522% Swap, Granite LP will pay principal of EUR 168.2 million in exchange for which it will receive US$185 million on December 19, 2024. Pursuant to the 0.522% Swap, Granite LP will make monthly Euro-denominated fixed rate interest payments at 0.522% in exchange for which it will receive monthly US dollar-denominated floating rate interest payments calculated based on SOFR plus the applicable margin (which will completely offset the interest payable under the 2024 Term Loan). Initially, these floating rate interest payments were calculated based on LIBOR plus the applicable margin but were likewise amended on April 19, 2023 to SOFR to match the 2024 Term Loan.

The December 2026 Term Loan was available in Canadian dollar, US dollar or Euro-denominated funds in one drawdown and is fully prepayable without penalty. Any amount repaid may not be re-borrowed. Interest on drawn amounts is calculated based on CORRA plus an applicable margin determined by reference to the external credit rating of Granite LP. The December 2026 Term Loan's interest was initially based on CDOR plus an applicable margin, but as a result of the anticipated cessation of the publication of CDOR by June 28, 2024 and the Canadian financial benchmark being replaced by CORRA, on February 8, 2024, Granite amended the December 2026 Term Loan to update the benchmark rate in the agreement from CDOR to CORRA, including a fixed spread for the basis difference between CDOR and CORRA, without any economic impact.

Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form 89

Credit Ratings

The credit ratings for Granite’s Debentures as of the date of this Annual Information Form are as follows:


Credit Ratings

	DBRS	Moody's
Debentures	BBB (high)	Baa2
Outlook	Stable	Stable
Date of Latest Rating Confirmation	29-Mar-23	28-Jun-23

As of February 28, 2024, the Debentures each had investment grade ratings of ‘‘BBB (high)’’ with a ‘‘Stable’’ trend from DBRS and ‘‘Baa2’’ from Moody’s, each as of the date of their latest rating confirmation. Ratings may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization.

According to the DBRS rating system, long-term debt rated BBB (high) is of adequate credit quality. The ability and capacity to meet the payment of financial obligations is considered acceptable though Granite may be vulnerable to future events. The DBRS long-term rating scale provides an opinion on the risk that an issuer will fail to satisfy its financial obligations in accordance with the terms under which an obligation has been issued (risk of default). Ratings are based on quantitative and qualitative considerations relevant to the issuer and range from AAA to D; all rating categories other than AAA and D also contain subcategories ‘‘(high)’’ and ‘‘(low)’’ with the absence of either designation indicating that the rating is in the middle of the category. A BBB (high) rating is the fourth highest rating out of the ten major levels of DBRS’ rating scale and is at the top of the range of such rating.

According to the Moody’s rating system, debt securities rated Baa2 are subject to moderate credit risk and are considered medium grade and as such may possess certain speculative characteristics. Moody’s long-term ratings are opinions of the relative credit risk of financial obligations with an original maturity of one year or more. They address the possibility that a financial obligation will not be honored as promised. Such ratings use Moody’s Global Scale and reflect both the likelihood of default and any financial loss suffered in the event of default. Moody’s ratings are based on a scale of Aaa to C and numerical modifiers 1, 2 and 3 are applied to each rating category, with 1 indicating that the obligation ranks in the higher end of the category, 2 indicating a mid-range ranking and 3 indicating a ranking in the lower end of the category. A rating of Baa2 is the fourth highest rating out of the nine major levels of Moody’s rating scale and the ‘‘2’’ indicates the middle range of the current rating.

Credit ratings are intended to provide investors with an independent measure of credit quality of an issue of securities. A rating accorded to any securities is not a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold such securities and may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization which granted such ratings. To Granite’s knowledge, as of February 28, 2024, there was no announcement or proposed announcement that was to be made by a rating organization to the effect that the organization is reviewing or intends to revise or withdraw a rating previously assigned. There can be no assurance that a rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that a rating will not be lowered, withdrawn or revised by the rating agency if in its judgment circumstances so warrant.

Granite has made customary payments of rating fees to DBRS and Moody’s in connection with the above-mentioned ratings assigned to the Debentures and will continue to make such payments to DBRS and Moody’s in the ordinary course from time to time in connection with the

90 Granite REIT 2023 Annual Information Form

confirmation of such ratings and future offerings of certain debt securities of Granite, if any. No other payments were made to DBRS or Moody's in respect of any other services provided to Granite by DBRS or Moody's within the last two years.

DISTRIBUTION AND DIVIDEND POLICY

Distribution Policy of Granite REIT and Granite GP

Pursuant to the Declaration of Trust, Granite REIT may make distributions as declared from time to time by the Trustees. Any distributions declared in respect of a calendar month (or such other period as determined by the Trustees) will be paid to REIT Unitholders of record as at the close of business on the last business day of the calendar month immediately preceding the month in which the distribution is to be paid (or such other time and date fixed by the Trustees in accordance with the Declaration of Trust). The distribution for any applicable period will be paid on or about the 15th day of the immediately following month (or on such other date as determined by the Trustees in their discretion). In addition, the Declaration of Trust provides that the total amount of distributions due and payable on or before December 31 of any calendar year shall not be less than the amount necessary to ensure that Granite REIT will not be liable to pay income tax under Part I of the Tax Act for such year. The amount, if any, which is required to be distributed to comply with the preceding sentence shall be due and payable, on the earlier of the last distribution date in respect of each year and December 31 of such year, to REIT Unitholders of record on that date, and such amount will be payable in cash unless the Trustees determine in their absolute discretion to pay such amount in REIT Units.

Where the Trustees determine that Granite REIT does not have available cash in an amount sufficient to pay the full amount of any distribution or where the Trustees otherwise determine in their absolute discretion that all or a portion of a distribution should not be paid in cash, the payment may, at the option of the Trustees, include the issuance of additional REIT Units, or fractions of REIT Units, if necessary, having a fair market value as determined by the Trustees equal to the difference between the amount of such distribution and the amount of cash which either has been determined by the Trustees in their absolute discretion to be available, or which the Trustees have otherwise determined shall be distributed in their absolute discretion, as the case may be, for the payment of such distribution. The Declaration of Trust further provides that immediately after a distribution made in REIT Units in accordance with the foregoing, the number of outstanding REIT Units will be consolidated so that each REIT Unitholder will hold after the consolidation the same number of REIT Units as the REIT Unitholder held before the REIT Unit distribution.

Currently, Granite REIT intends to make monthly distributions in the estimated amount of $0.275 per REIT Unit.

The portion of distributions by Granite REIT for 2024, which will be income for Canadian income tax purposes, is estimated to be in the range of 75% to 100%. This estimate could change by the end of 2024. In light of its nominal anticipated earnings (if any), it is not expected that Granite GP will pay dividends in 2024.
