Forward Looking Statements Certain information herein constitutes 'forward-looking information' as defined under Canadian securities laws which reflect management's expectations regarding objectives, plans, goals, strategies, future growth, results of operations, performance, business prospects and opportunities of the REIT. The words 'plans', 'expects', 'does not expect', "forecasts", 'scheduled', 'estimates', 'intends', 'anticipates', 'does not anticipate', 'projects', 'believes', or variations of such words and phrases or statements to the effect that certain actions, events or results 'may', 'will', 'could', 'would', 'might', 'occur', 'be achieved', or 'continue' and similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. Management believes that the expectations reflected in its forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, however, management can give no assurance that actual results, performance or achievements will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are qualified in their entirety by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Forward-looking statements are necessarily based on a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management as of the date hereof, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties and contingencies. When relying on forward-looking statements to make decisions, the REIT cautions readers not to place undue reliance on these statements, as forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, and should not be read as guarantees of future performance or results, and will not necessarily be accurate indications of whether or not the times at or by which such performance or results will be achieved. A number of factors could cause actual results to differ, possibly materially, from the results discussed in the forward- looking statements. Additional information about risks and uncertainties is contained in the filings of the REIT with securities regulators. Non-IFRS Measures This news release and accompanying financial statements are based on IFRS® Accounting Standards ('IFRS Accounting Standards'), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board ('IASB'). We disclose a number of financial measures in this news release that are not measures used under IFRS Accounting Standards, including NOI, same-property NOI, FFO, FFO payout ratio, AFFO, AFFO payout ratio, adjusted EBITDA, fixed charges and the fixed charge coverage ratio, in addition to certain measures on a per unit basis. NOI is defined as rental revenue less operating expenses, prior to straight-line rent, IFRIC 21, Levies ("IFRIC 21") property tax adjustments and adjustments for equity investments. Same-property NOI includes those properties owned by the REIT for each of the current period and the relevant comparative period, excluding those properties under development. FFO is defined as net income adjusted for certain items including transaction/disposition costs, change in fair value of properties, change in fair value of financial instruments, deferred income taxes, unit income (expense), adjustments for equity investments and IFRIC 21 property tax adjustments. AFFO is defined as FFO adjusted for straight-line rental revenue and revenue sustaining capital, leasing costs and tenant improvements. FFO payout ratio and AFFO payout ratio are defined as distributions declared divided by FFO and AFFO, respectively. FFO per WA unit and AFFO per WA unit are defined as FFO and AFFO divided by the weighted average class U equivalent units outstanding, respectively. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as NOI less general and administrative expenses at the REIT's proportionate interest. Fixed charges include principal payments and cash interest paid, net at the REIT"s proportionate interest. Fixed charge coverage ratio is defined as adjusted EBITDA divided by fixed charges at the REIT's proportionate interest. Net asset value is defined as the aggregate of the carrying value of the REIT's equity, deferred income taxes and exchangeable units of subsidiaries. Proportionate interest represents financial information adjusted to reflect the REIT's equity accounted joint ventures and financial real estate assets and its share of net income (losses) from equity accounted joint ventures and financial real estate assets on a proportionately consolidated basis at the REIT's ownership percentage of the related investment. We utilize these measures for a variety of reasons, including measuring performance, managing the business, capital allocation and the assessment of risk. Descriptions of why these non-IFRS measures are useful to investors and how management uses each measure are included in Management's Discussion and Analysis. We believe that providing these performance measures on a supplemental basis to our IFRS Accounting Standards results is helpful to investors in assessing the overall performance of our businesses in a manner similar to management. These financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for similar financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS Accounting Standards. We caution readers that these non-IFRS financial measures may differ from the calculations disclosed by other businesses, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by others.

Yukon First Nation to oppose all new mining claims on its territory during planning
A Yukon First Nation says it will oppose any new mining claims on its traditional territory as it begins a regional land-use planning process with the territory's government. The First Nation of Na-Cho Nyak Dun says in a post on Facebook that it is issuing a notice to the mining industry that it will oppose any claim 'through all available legal and political avenues.' The Nation says any such claim staked during the land-use planning process are 'unwelcome' and 'unlawful,' citing past court decisions that it says 'strongly discourages staking claims in the areas' undergoing such a process. It says the Nation has adopted its own policy on mining that will govern the industry on its traditional territory while the planning process in pending. The notice comes after a catastrophic failure at an ore storage site last year at the Eagle Gold Mine, within the nation's traditional territory, that released about two-million tonnes of cyanide-laced ore and water into the environment. Yukon Energy, Mines and Resources Minister John Streicker says in a statement that the territory is aware of the notice and recommends any mining proponent to 'engage with potentially affected Indigenous governments and groups as early as possible' for any project development. Streicker says the territory has recently entered into a memorandum of understanding with Na-Cho Nyak Dun to start the land-use planning process, however they haven't reached a consensus on how interim staking of mining claims should be handled while planning is taking place. 'We are committed to working alongside the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyak Dun to develop a regional land use plan that considers the diverse land uses in this region,' he says. 'In our view, this includes maintaining a healthy environment and vibrant cultural legacy, while supporting a sustainable economy and ensuring Yukon First Nations and public priorities are appropriately reflected.' Na-Cho Nyak Dun Chief Dawna Hope says in the statement that her Nation 'is advising all mining companies and their financial backers that no new claims should be staked in their traditional territory to protect our planning process and our treaty rights.' 'We will vigorously oppose — through all possible political and legal means — any new claims staked on our territory,' Hope says. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 6, 2025.
