EXPLANATORY NOTE – DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment relates to the following Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Granite Real Estate Investment Trust, a limited purpose trust established and governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario (“Granite REIT”) and Granite REIT Inc., a British Columbia corporation (“Granite GP”, together with Granite REIT, the “Registrants” and each a “Registrant”):

• Registration Statement No. 333-275422, filed on November 9, 2023, registering 100,000 Stapled Units (the “Stapled Units”), each consisting of one unit of Granite REIT (a “REIT Unit”) and one common share of Granite GP (a “GP Share”), under the Granite Real Estate Executive Deferred Stapled Unit Plan and the Granite REIT Inc. Non-Employee Directors’ Deferred Share Unit Plan.

Pursuant to a statutory plan of arrangement (the “Arrangement”) under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), effective October 1, 2024, Granite REIT and Granite GP effected a reorganization pursuant to which, among other things, Granite GP became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Granite REIT.

As a result of the Arrangement, the Registrants have terminated all offerings of securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrants in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered and remain unsold at the termination of such offering, the Registrant hereby removes from registration by means of this Post-Effective Amendment all securities of the Registrant that remain unsold under the Registration Statement as of the date hereof.
