Box 159, TD Centre 25FEB201320200552 Toronto, ON, M5K 1H1 Canada LETTER TO UNITHOLDERS Dear Unitholders: 2013 was a year in which Granite REIT successfully delivered on all facets of its strategic plan for value creating growth and for tenant and property diversification. Our property acquisitions in the U.S. and Europe, sales of selected non-core properties, lease renewals, our debenture financing and the stability of our revenues through long term lease extensions all combined to make 2013 a successful year. The following are noteworthy highlights from 2013: • Lease renewals and new leases on 21 properties covering 4.8 million square feet; • Sales of non-core properties for gross proceeds of $28 million; • New property acquisitions for approximately $300 million including 12 income properties adding 4.2 million square feet and 2 development properties; • Through acquisitions, the addition of rental income of over $23 million and 21 new tenants; • Reduction in Magna tenant concentration (as measured by annualized lease payments(1)) from 97% to 85%; and • Increased leverage (debt as a percentage of fair value of our real estate properties) from 14% to 24%. Granite believes that a strong real estate company creates value through a thoughtful balance of asset acquisitions and dispositions while continually emphasizing the importance of lease renewals, extensions and value creating asset management initiatives. The execution of Granite’s strategic plan is fully underway with 2013 having set the benchmarks Granite will aim for in 2014 and the years ahead. As Granite moves forward into 2014, Granite’s focus on its core strategic objectives will require continued advancement in property diversification, enhanced asset quality, lease extensions and balance sheet optimization while maintaining discipline in highly competitive international investment markets. We are confident that our strategic plan is on track and with continued focus and diligence we will continue to progress on all fronts. I would like to thank all of our unitholders for their continued support as well as our major tenant, Magna and its related groups, for working through multiple lease renewals and property matters this past year, along with the many new tenants that became part of the Granite portfolio in 2013. Lastly I want to thank all of the Granite employees in North America and Europe for their tremendous efforts and contributions toward making 2013 such a successful year. 5MAR201219222086 TOM HESLIP March 5, 2014 (1) Annualized lease payments does not have a standardized meaning under International Financial Reporting Standards.
