Other unknown or unpredictable factors could also have material adverse effects on future results, performance or achievements of the REIT. Forward-looking information involves significant risks and uncertainties, should not be read as a guarantee of future performance or results and will not necessarily be an accurate indication of whether or not, or the times at which, or by which, such performance or results will be achieved, and readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this presentation are based on numerous assumptions which may prove incorrect and which could cause actual results or events to differ materially from the forward- looking statements. Although these forward-looking statements are based upon what the REIT believes are reasonable assumptions, the REIT cannot assure investors that actual results will be consistent with this forward-looking information. Such assumptions include, but are not limited to, the assumptions set forth in this presentation, as well as assumptions relating to (i) the REIT's properties continuing to perform as they have recently, (ii) development opportunities being completed on time and on-budget, (iii) demographic and industry trends remaining unchanged,

Certain information concerning Vital Trust contained in this presentation has been taken from, or is based upon, publicly available documents and records on file with regulatory bodies. Although the REIT has no knowledge that would indicate that any of such information is untrue or incomplete, the REIT was not involved in the preparation of any such publicly available documents and neither the REIT, nor any of their officers or trustees, assumes any responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of such information or the failure by Vital Trust to disclose events which may have occurred or may affect the completeness or accuracy of such information but which are unknown to the REIT.
This presentation makes reference to non-IFRS measures, including funds from operations ("FFO"), adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO"), earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA"), adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, investment properties on a proportionate basis, proportionate management fees, distributions, net asset value ("NAV") and same property NOI ("SPNOI"),. These measures are used by the real estate industry to measure and compare the operating performance of real estate companies, but they do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS. These non-IFRS financial measures and non‐IFRS ratios should not be construed as alternatives to financial measures calculated in accordance with IFRS. The REIT's method of calculating these measures and ratios may differ from the methods of other real estate investment trusts or other issuers, and accordingly may not be comparable. Further, the REIT's definitions of FFO and AFFO differ from the definitions recommended by REALpac. An explanation and reconciliation, as applicable, for these non-IFRS measures is presented in the REIT's Management's Discussion and Analysis for the period ended December 31, 2023 under "Performance Measurement", "Business Overview", "Results from Operations", "Capitalization and Liquidity" and "Net Asset Value", available on the REIT's SEDAR+ profile at www.sedarplus.ca.
