EROAD LIMITED (NZX: ERD): NOTICE OF OFFER OF SAME CLASS FINANCIAL PRODUCTS

EROAD Limited (EROAD) intends to undertake a placement offer of at least $14 million of new fully

paid ordinary shares of the same class as already quoted on the NZX Main Board of NZX Limited.

Following EROAD’s decision to undertake the placement, NMC Trustees Limited as trustee of the

NMC Investment Trust (NMC Trustees), EROAD’s largest shareholder (with 26% of all EROAD shares

on issue), has decided to offer approximately $5 million of its shares for sale. Steven Newman, the

Chief Executive of EROAD, has an indirect interest in the shares held by NMC Trustees. Steven

remains fully committed to the EROAD business, and will remain a significant shareholder following

the placement. Following the placement, Steven is expected to indirectly hold in excess of 21.5% of

all EROAD shares, through NMC Trustees Limited.

Although initiated independently, the placement and the sell down by NMC Trustees (together, the

Offer) will be conducted contemporaneously such that they will appear to be a single placement.


Pursuant to clause 19 of Schedule 1 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMCA) and clause

20 of Schedule 8 of the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014 (FMC Regulations), EROAD

advises that:

1. EROAD and NMC Trustees are making the Offer in reliance upon the exclusion in clause 19

of Schedule 1 of the FMCA and EROAD is giving this notice under clause 20(1)(a) of

Schedule 8 of the FMC Regulations.

2. As at the date of this notice, EROAD is in compliance with:

a. the continuous disclosure obligations that apply to it in relation to EROAD's quoted

ordinary shares; and

b. its "financial reporting obligations" within the meaning set out in clause 20(5) of

Schedule 8 of the FMC Regulations.

3. As at the date of this notice, there is no information that is "excluded information" within

the meaning set out in clause 20(5) of Schedule 8 of the FMC Regulations.

The Offer is not expected to have any effect on the control of EROAD within the meaning set out in

clause 48 of Schedule 1 of the FMCA. While NMC Trustees Limited is expected to reduce its

shareholding in EROAD, it will retain a significant stake in EROAD immediately following the

transactions and is expected to remain the largest shareholder of EROAD.

Overview -EROAD modernises tax compliance and health & safety for commercial

vehicles

•In 2009, EROAD introduced the world’s first nationwide electronic

road user charging (eRUC) system in New Zealand

•Operations in Australia & New Zealand (ANZ) andNorth America

(NA)

•Sole heavy vehicle technology supplier for California Road User

Charge Pilot, and recently selected to participate in a mileage-based

compliance and Fleet Management services.

•By contrast general fleet management companies have built platforms for the provision of Fleet Management services only, so have platform

limitations in moving up the value chain

Longer Term Prospects –Infrastructure funding needs provide longer term

opportunities

•Globally, freight transport by road is forecast to continue to

increase significantly

•As increasing numbers of trucks move larger volumes of freight,

significant pressure is put on existing transport infrastructure

•Transport authorities are increasingly facing problems around

funding the maintenance and expansion of road and highway

infrastructure

•Fuel excise taxes and vehicle registration fees often fall short of

meeting the costs of road funding, further exacerbated by the

advent of electric vehicles (which don’t pay fuel excise taxes)

•EROAD selected to participate in the first multi-state pilot to

explore the feasibility of a Mileage-Based User Fee (MBUF) along

the United States’ eastern seaboard (the I-95 Corridor Coalition

truck pilot)

•Estimated over US$1 trillion required to fund streets and roads in

the United States

EROADderivesrevenuefromtwomainsources:recurringrevenueandhardware sales

•EROAD’s business model generates high levels of recurring revenue

•In addition, material growth options are available to increase recurring revenue and hardware sales, plus new sources of revenue(in particular,

monetising data)

Other

•Other revenue is earned from four sources

•Transport statistics (monetising data);

•Accessory sales;

•Consulting and advisory services; and

•Research grants

Hardware sales

•Approximately 8% of EROAD’s units are sold (rather than rented)

•Hardware sales provide higher initial earnings and cash flow

Recurring revenue

(Dominant revenue

stream)

•Recurring revenue is generated from all customers through monthly charges for both services and rental of hardware

•Approximately 92% of units across New Zealand, Australia and North America are rented, generally on a 36-month term, with the majority of

customers then renewing the contracts

•On occasion, EROAD leases units for longer than the usual 36 month rental period. In such instances, the subtance of the transaction is assessed,

and if it is considered that substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred, the arrangement is acccounted for as a

finance lease

•Customer retention rates are strong at 98%

•In addition, EROAD receives incremental recurring revenue from transaction fees each time a customer purchases RUC from NZTA through

EROAD’s platform

•Future Contracted Income as at 1HY18 was $75 million

NET NEW CONTRACTED UNITS

(UNIT SALES PER QUARTER, NORTH AMERICA AND ANZ MARKETS)

Unit sales -ongoing ANZ growth and increasing momentum in North American unit sales

•EROAD forecasts continued strong growth in net new contracted units

for the remainder of FY18, primarily driven by:

•In ANZ, on-going momentum of light commerical and heavy vehicles sales, plus recent

large contracts wins, including an extension by a large existing enterprise customer; and

•In North America, ongoing growth from legislated ELD requirements

•Average monthly revenue per unit for FY18 is expected to be

approximately $54 per unit, driven by factors including:

•Cutomers upgrading to EHUBO2;

•Customers upgrading service plans;

•Continued penetration into lighter vehicles; and

•Increasing number of contracts up for renewal

1. A wide forecast range has been provided for North American Q4 volumes due to uncertain market conditions post the ELD mandate deadline which is currently 18 December 2017. As noted in footnote 1 on page 7 continued lobbying to extend

the implementation date is currently occurring

2. Calculated as total contracted units multiplied by average revenue per unit (per month) x 12

Cash, available term loan & overdraft facility for regular working capital &

•EROAD’s current debt facilities (signed in December 2017), provide

significant funding for rental units:

•As at 30 September 2017 EROAD’s Committed Cash Advance Facility

(CCAF) to fund unit growth had remaining capacity of $12.5m;

•The December facility capped and converted to Term Debt (equal to the

$12.6m drawn under the previous CCAF). New CCAF of $19m introduced

•In addition, EROAD’s cash, available term debt and available overdraft

provide additional funding for regular working capital and other capex

requirements:

•As at 30 September 2017 this amounted to $2.8m of funds;

•The November facility increased these funds by approximately $2m

NZX Release

EROAD LIMITED ANNOUNCES EQUITY RAISING


12 December 2017


EROAD Limited (NZX: ERD) (EROAD) is pleased to announce that it will be raising new capital to

support the continued implementation of its strategy. The capital will be raised via a combination of

a placement to raise at least $14 million and a Share Purchase Plan (SPP) to raise at least $4 million.


EROAD forecasts continued strong growth in net new contracted units for the remainder of FY18. To

service the continued growth, EROAD intends to use the capital raised to support three key areas of

EROAD’s business: business processes, non-bank debt replacement and incremental growth.


To support core business growth, $4.5 million will be used for upgrading customer support systems

to maintain high service levels as well as providing working capital for inventory growth. Additionally,

$5 million has been budgeted for replacing non-bank lender funding to simplify EROAD’s funding

structure and operational activities. The remaining $8.5 million or more will be used to develop and

expand disruptive product offerings as well as building a digital ecosystem to better collect and

analyse transport data and potential inorganic growth.



The placement will be conducted today through a bookbuild in which institutional and other select

investors in New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong and Singapore will be invited to participate by First

NZ Capital Securities Limited.


Following EROAD’s decision to undertake the placement, NMC Trustees Limited as trustee of the

NMC Investment Trust (NMC Trustees), EROAD’s largest shareholder (with 26% of all EROAD shares

on issue), decided to offer approximately $5 million of its shares for sale through the placement.

Steven Newman, the Chief Executive of EROAD, has an indirect interest in the shares held by NMC

Trustees. Steven remains fully committed to the EROAD business, and will remain a significant

shareholder following the placement. Following the placement, Steven is expected to indirectly hold

in excess of 21.5% of all EROAD shares, through NMC Trustees Limited.


In addition to the placement, EROAD intends to make an offer of at least $4 million through an SPP.

The SPP is expected to give each EROAD shareholder whose address recorded in EROAD’s share

register is in New Zealand an opportunity to subscribe for shares. The final terms of the SPP are

expected to be announced in more detail in early calendar year 2018, but eligible shareholders will

pay the lower of the placement price or a discount to the share price at the time.



The placement and SPP will be fully underwritten by First NZ Capital Securities Limited.


A copy of the notice of offer of same class financial products and investor presentation accompany

this announcement.
