Arena REIT Details June 2026 Quarter Distribution Amount and Payment Schedule

Arena REIT has confirmed a distribution of AUD $0.04812500 per fully paid ordinary stapled security for the quarter ended 30 June 2026. The trust’s stapled securities trade under ASX ticker ARF and represent interests in Arena REIT Limited (ABN 89 602 365 186), Arena REIT No. 1 (ARSN 106 891 641), and Arena REIT No. 2 (ARSN 101 067 878). This distribution covers a single quarter, consistent with the trust’s practice of quarterly payments to securityholders.

The record date was 30 June 2026, with an ex-date of 29 June 2026. Securityholders on the record date are entitled to the distribution. Payment is set for 6 August 2026, with DRP securities issued on the same day. Payments will be made in Australian dollars, and no external regulatory approvals—including court, ACCC, or FIRB—were required prior to distribution, per the company update.

Calculation of Arena REIT’s DRP Price of $3.1737 for August 2026 Payment

The DRP price for this distribution is AUD $3.17370 per stapled security. Arena REIT calculates the DRP price using the daily volume weighted average market price (VWAP) of ARF securities traded on the ASX and Cboe over ten consecutive trading days, applying a 1.5% discount. The calculation period was from 2 July to 15 July 2026.

This discount incentivizes securityholder participation by offering new securities below recent market prices. The DRP price is a discounted average, not the prevailing market price on any single day. Securityholders should note the actual value of securities received on 6 August 2026 may differ from the DRP price.

Overview of Arena REIT’s DRP Structure and Securityholder Election Process

Arena REIT operates a full DRP, applying to the entire distribution amount. Securityholders wishing to participate needed to lodge election notices by 5:00 PM on Wednesday, 1 July 2026. Those who did not submit an election received cash payments by default, as disclosed in the company update.

New DRP securities will rank equally with existing ARF stapled securities from the issue date of 6 August 2026. There are no minimum or maximum participation limits for this DRP cycle. The company confirmed no additional conditions apply. Full DRP plan rules are available on the Arena REIT investor centre website, and securityholders are encouraged to review these alongside tax component disclosures.

Structure of Arena REIT as a Social Infrastructure REIT with Stapled Securities

Arena REIT is a stapled security group combining Arena REIT Limited and two managed investment schemes—Arena REIT No. 1 and Arena REIT No. 2—into a single listed entity. Investors cannot trade components separately; each stapled security represents interests in all three entities. The group focuses on social infrastructure properties supporting community services across Australia.

This focus differentiates Arena REIT from traditional commercial or retail property trusts and is relevant when assessing income streams and tenant profiles. The quarterly distribution model offers regular income, while the DRP allows investors to compound holdings by reinvesting distributions at a slight market discount. These features reflect typical Australian listed property trust structures, with revenue primarily from long-term lease rental income.

Update to 18 June 2026 Distribution Notification: DRP Price Confirmation

The 16 July 2026 company update serves as an addendum to the 18 June 2026 notification, solely confirming the DRP price after the ten-day VWAP calculation period (2 July to 15 July 2026). The original notification established distribution amount, record date, ex-date, and payment date, leaving the DRP price to be confirmed later.

This staged notification process is standard for ASX-listed trusts with DRPs, as the reinvestment price depends on post-period VWAP calculations. Investors awaiting the DRP price now have full information following the 16 July update. No other distribution details were changed.

Important Dates for ARF Securityholders Regarding August 2026 Distribution

Key dates include an ex-date of 29 June 2026, record date of 30 June 2026, and DRP election deadline of 5:00 PM on 1 July 2026. The DRP price calculation period spanned 2 July to 15 July 2026, with the final DRP price of $3.17370 announced on 16 July 2026.

Payment of cash distributions and issuance of DRP securities will occur on 6 August 2026. Securityholders who elected DRP participation will receive new ARF stapled securities at the confirmed DRP price, while others will receive cash payments based on the $0.04812500 distribution per security held on the record date.

Where to Find Tax and DRP Information for ARF Securityholders

Arena REIT directs investors to its online resources for further details. Tax component information, including AIIR breakdowns and tax treatment guidance, is available at https://www.arena.com.au/investor-centre/investor-information/tax-information/. This resource aids investors and advisers in understanding distribution tax implications.

DRP plan rules can be accessed at https://www.arena.com.au/investor-centre/investor-information/dividend-and-distribution-reinvestment-plan/. These govern the terms of DRP participation and should be reviewed by securityholders considering future reinvestment. Investors are encouraged to seek independent tax or financial advice, as managed investment trust taxation can be complex and vary by individual circumstances and residency.

Risks Associated with Arena REIT’s Distribution and DRP Participation

Securityholders considering DRP participation should recognize risks specific to this structure. The DRP price of $3.17370 is based on historical VWAP and does not guarantee issuance at or below market price on 6 August 2026. If ARF’s market price declines after the calculation period, DRP participants may receive securities priced above market value.

More broadly, Arena REIT’s ability to maintain its quarterly distribution depends on social infrastructure portfolio performance, including occupancy, lease terms, and tenant financial strength. Interest rate fluctuations can also impact property valuations and cost of capital, affecting future distributions. The company provided no forward guidance on distributions in this update. Investors should evaluate these risks relative to their financial goals before deciding on DRP participation or ARF investments.
