What is a stapled security?
A stapled security is a security that comprises a unit in a Trust and a share in a Company, linked together so that one cannot be transferred or otherwise dealt without the other. In the case of listed securities, they are jointly quoted on the Australian Stock Exchange ("ASX") as "stapled securities". GPT investors hold one General Property Trust unit and one GPT Management Holdings Limited share, "stapled" together and jointly quoted on the ASX under the code "GPT".
