the Trust Deed, "Trust Documents") entered into between Precinct and The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited
("Supervisor").
Unless the context otherwise requires, capitalised terms used in this Terms Sheet have the same meaning given to them in the Trust
Documents. In this Terms Sheet, "Business Day" means a working day (as defined in the Interpretation Act 1999), except that in the
context of Listing Rules it means a day on which the NZX Debt Market is open for trading.
Important Notice
The offer of debt securities by Precinct is made in reliance upon the exclusion in clause 19 of schedule 1 of the Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013 (“FMCA”).

the interest rate and maturity date) as Precinct's bonds maturing on 17 December 2021, which have a fixed interest rate of 5.54% per
annum and are currently quoted on the NZX Debt Market under the ticker code PCT010 (“Existing Bonds”).
Accordingly, the 2024 Bonds are the same class as the Existing Bonds for the purposes of the FMCA and the Financial Markets Conduct

Precinct is subject to a disclosure obligation that requires it to notify certain material information to NZX Limited (“NZX”) for the purpose
of that information being made available to participants in the market and that information can be found by visiting

The Existing Bonds are the only debt securities of Precinct that are currently quoted in the same class as the 2024 Bonds.
Investors can refer to nzx.com/markets/NZDX/bonds to find out how the market assesses the returns and risk premium for the Existing
Bonds. This website allows investors to compare the yield of the financial products listed on the NZX Debt Market. When comparing the

terms of the relevant debt securities).

Loan to Value Ratio
Precinct must ensure that while the 2024 Bonds are outstanding, the total principal amount of all
outstanding borrowed money secured by the Mortgages does not exceed 50% of the Mortgaged
Property Value (the “Loan to Value Ratio”).
A breach of the Loan to Value Ratio covenant will not automatically trigger an Event of Default, but
will instead trigger an Event of Review. Following that breach, Precinct may have up to 13 months to
remedy the breach before it will trigger an Event of Default (up to six months to remedy the breach
and, if the breach is not remedied and after Precinct has given notice of the failure to remedy the
breach (such notice to be provided within 20 Business Days after the end of that six month period),
six months to execute any plan provided to the Supervisor to remedy the relevant breach).
For full details of the Events of Default and Events of Review, see clauses 11.1 and 11.2 of the Master
Trust Deed.

As a general matter, Precinct undertakes to the Holders that it will not grant security over any of its
assets. There are certain exclusions to this undertaking, being security:
• granted over debt in an amount equal up to 15% of the Group’s Total Tangible Assets. However,
such security is only permitted if there is no Event of Default at the time the security is granted
and one will not occur as a result of granting such security; or
• which arises by statute; or
• which is in favour of the Security Trustee; or
• granted with the consent of the Bank Facility Lenders.
The consent of Holders for Precinct to grant security over any of its assets is not required in the above
circumstances. Such security may rank behind the Mortgages or may be over assets which Holders
do not have security over.
Distribution Stopper
Precinct is not permitted to make any Distribution to any person outside the Group if an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing or if the making of the Distribution would result in the
occurrence of an Event of Default.

Such amounts will be distributed as appropriate to Primary Market Participants and approved

Transfers
Holders are entitled to sell or transfer their 2024 Bonds at any time subject to the terms of the Trust
Documents and applicable securities laws and regulations. Precinct may decline to register a
transfer of 2024 Bonds for the reasons set out in the Trust Documents.
The minimum amount of 2024 Bonds a Holder can transfer is $1,000, and integral multiples of $1,000
thereafter. No transfer of 2024 Bonds or any part of a Holder’s interest in a 2024 Bond will be

2024 Bonds with an aggregate principal amount of less than the minimum holding of $5,000 (other
than zero).
NZX has approved these restrictions on the transfer of the 2024 Bonds.
NZX Quotation
Precinct will take any necessary steps to ensure that the 2024 Bonds are, immediately after issue,
quoted. Application has been made to NZX for permission to quote the 2024 Bonds on the NZX Debt

NZX Waivers
NZX has granted Precinct a waiver from NZX Listing Rule 5.2.3 to enable Precinct to apply for
quotation on the NZX Debt Market even though the 2024 Bonds may not initially be held by at least
100 members of the public holding at least 25% of the 2024 Bonds issued. The waiver has been
granted for a period of six months from the quotation date of the 2024 Bonds. The effect of the
waiver from NZX Listing Rule 5.2.3 is that initially the 2024 Bonds may not be widely held and there
may be reduced liquidity in the 2024 Bonds. To the extent that there is a material reduction in the
spread of the 2024 Bonds, Precinct will notify NZX accordingly.
NZX has also granted Precinct a waiver from NZX Listing Rule 7.11.1 to allow allotment of the 2024
Bonds to occur within six Business Days of the Closing Date.
