Non-GAAP Financial Measures: Primaris' consolidated and combined carve-out financial statements and the accompanying notes for the year ended December 31, 2022 (together the "Financial Statements") were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), however, in this presentation, a number of measures are presented which do not have a standardized meaning prescribed under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") in accordance with IFRS. These non-GAAP measures include non- GAAP financial measures and non-GAAP ratios, each as defined in National Instrument 52-112 - Non-GAAPand Other Financial Measures Disclosure. Non-GAAP measures in this presentation are denoted by the suffix "**". Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful measures to assessing Primaris' performance period over period and its ability to meet its financial obligations. However, none of the non-GAAP measures should be construed as an alternative to financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, these non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other real estate entities and should not be construed as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with IFRS. Additional information regarding these non-GAAP measures including definitions, management's reasons as to why it believes the measures are useful to investors. and reconciliations, and use of operating metrics to the most directly comparable GAAP figure, where applicable, can be found in the MD&A for the for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Use of Operating Metrics: Primaris uses certain operating metrics to monitor and measure the operational performance of its portfolio. Operating metrics in this news release include, among others, investment property count, gross leasable area ("GLA"), in-place occupancy, committed occupancy, weighted average net rent per occupied square foot, and normalized average operating capital cost per square foot. Certain of these operating metrics, including weighted average net rent per occupied square foot and normalized average operating capital cost per square foot, may constitute supplementary financial measures as defined in NI 52-112. These supplementary measures are not derived from directly comparable measures contained in the Financial Statements but may be used by management and disclosed on a periodic basis to depict the historical or future expected financial performance, financial position or cash flow of the Trust. For an explanation of the composition of weighted average net rent per occupied square foot and normalized average operating capital cost per square foot, see "Section 8, "Operational Performance" - "Weighted Average Net Rent" and "Operating Capital Expenditures" in the MD&A, respectively.
