DEAR KATHMANDU
SHAREHOLDER 23 MARCH 2018
DAVID KIRK
CHAIRMAN
Kathmandu Holdings Limited – Share Purchase Plan
On behalf of the directors of Kathmandu Holdings Limited (Kathmandu), I am
pleased to offer you the opportunity to acquire ordinary shares in Kathmandu
through this Share Purchase Plan (SPP), without incurring brokerage or other
transaction costs.
On 20 March 2018 Kathmandu announced that it had entered into an unconditional
agreement to purchase all of the shares in Oboz Footwear LLC (the Acquisition).
Oboz Footwear will be Kathmandu’s first acquisition since its IPO and NZX Main
Board and Australian Securities Exchange listing in 2009.
Oboz designs, sources, and sells footwear for backpacking, hiking, travel, winter
and general outdoor wear through wholesale channels primarily to outdoor retailers
in North America. Oboz is a high growth, capital light international wholesaler
with distribution capability into outdoor retailers in the US, Kathmandu’s primary
wholesale customer targets.
Kathmandu and Oboz have worked together for over 10 years, Kathmandu being
historically the second customer of Oboz when the brand launched in 2007.
Kathmandu currently is the exclusive retailer of Oboz in Australia and New Zealand.
The acquisition of Oboz is expected to deliver a number of benefits to both
Kathmandu and Oboz, including:
• a more balanced geographical exposure with greater product diversification;
• a stronger positioning in the outdoor footwear product category;
• the opportunity to leverage the wholesale expertise of Oboz and the retail
expertise of Kathmandu;
• further expansion for Oboz in Australia and New Zealand; and
• the opportunity to leverage the two brands to access new international markets.
Kathmandu also announced on 20 March 2018 that it intended to raise up to
NZ$50 million of new capital to partially fund the purchase price for the Acquisition.
The balance of the purchase price will be sourced from the headroom in
Kathmandu’s existing bank facilities.
The first stage of the capital raising was an equity placement of approximately
NZ$40 million of Shares to existing and new investors under which 18,518,519 new
Shares will be issued at NZ$2.16 per Share.
The second stage of the capital raising is this SPP, which will raise up to NZ$8
million with Kathmandu having the ability to accept oversubscriptions of up to an
additional NZ$2 million (a total raise of up to NZ$10 million).
You can obtain further information about the Acquisition in the market
announcement released by Kathmandu on 20 March 2018, which is available on
Kathmandu’s website www.kathmanduholdings.com and on the NZX website:
www.nzx.com and on the ASX website: www.asx.com.au, under stock code KMD.
Share Purchase Plan
The SPP is available to all Kathmandu shareholders whose address recorded in
Kathmandu’s share register is in New Zealand or Australia, or who Kathmandu is
satisfied can otherwise participate in the SPP in compliance with all applicable
1KATHMANDU HOLDINGS LIMITED SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
laws, on equal terms. It gives all eligible shareholders the opportunity to invest up to
NZ$15,000 / AU$13,950 in new Kathmandu shares, with a minimum application of
NZ$1,000 / AU$930.
The issue price per share is NZ$2.16 per Share (being the same price as Shares issued
under the Placement). The issue price represents a 10% discount to the closing price
on the NZX of NZ$2.40 on 19 March 2018.
While participation in the SPP is optional, if eligible shareholders choose not to take
up the SPP their shareholdings will be diluted. The shareholdings of Kathmandu
shareholders are likely to change in any event as a result of the SPP, given the SPP is
not a pro-rata offer.
If we receive applications for Shares in excess of NZ$10 million (i.e. the initial cap of
NZ$8 million and the additional band of NZ$2 million available at our discretion),
your application will be scaled on a proportionate basis with regard to the size of
existing shareholdings at the Record Date and you will receive fewer Shares than the
number you applied for.
While Kathmandu’s SPP and Placement are intended to partially fund the
Acquisition, you should note that the SPP will proceed even if the Acquisition
is cancelled.
Further details about the SPP are included in the enclosed booklet.
The SPP is scheduled to close at 7.00pm New Zealand time on 13 April 2018.
To apply for your new Kathmandu shares, you should complete your application
online at www.kathmandushares.com or return the enclosed Application Form with
payment by a cheque or direct debit in New Zealand dollars or by BPAY® Australian
dollars in plenty of time to be received no later than 13 April 2018.
The correct way to complete and send your Application Form and provide your
application monies is set out on the Application Form accompanying the SPP
booklet. Online application is strongly encouraged given potential for delay with
the postal system.
Thank you for your continued support.
Yours sincerely
DAVID KIRK

QUESTIONS
AND ANSWERS
1 What is the Share Purchase Plan
(SPP)?
The SPP allows Eligible Shareholders to purchase
additional Shares in Kathmandu without incurring
brokerage or other transaction costs.
All Shares issued under the SPP will be of the same class
as, and rank equally with, all Shares in Kathmandu
currently on issue. It is a term of the SPP that
Kathmandu will take any necessary steps to ensure that
the Shares are immediately after issue, quoted on the
NZX Main Board and the Australian Securities Exchange.
2 Am I eligible to participate?
You are eligible if you were registered as a Kathmandu
shareholder at 7.00pm on 19 March 2018 (being the
Record Date) and your address recorded on the share
register is in New Zealand or Australia or if Kathmandu
is satisfied you can otherwise participate in the SPP in
compliance with all applicable laws.
3 How many Shares can I purchase?
If you apply for Shares under the SPP, you will apply for a
dollar amount rather than a number of Shares.
Eligible Shareholders can apply for up to NZ$15,000 /
AU$13,950 of Shares under the SPP, with a minimum
application of NZ$1,000 / AU$930).
Kathmandu may need to scale your application
backwards if the total value of valid applications exceeds
NZ$10 million, being the initial cap of NZ$8 million and
the additional band of NZ$2 million available at our
discretion. See clause 9 of the Terms and Conditions.
4 What is the Issue Price of the Shares?
The issue price of the Shares is $NZ2.16 per share, (being
the same price paid by investors in the Placement).
The market price of Kathmandu’s shares may rise or fall
between the date of this offer and the date on which the
Shares are allotted to you. The Issue Price may therefore
be higher, equal to or lower than the price at which
Kathmandu’s Shares are trading on the NZX Main Board
and/or the Australian Securities Exchange at the time
the Shares are allotted to you.
5 Can I pay for Shares in Australian
dollars?
The Issue Price determined above is a New Zealand dollar
amount. If you apply for an Australian dollar amount of
Shares, Kathmandu will convert the New Zealand dollar
Issue Price to Australian dollars at the NZ$/AU$ exchange
rate published by the New Zealand Reserve Bank on its
website at 7:00pm on the Closing Date.
6 Are there any conditions to the SPP?
No.
However, if the SPP is cancelled for any reason, all
application monies will be returned to applicants and no
Shares will be allotted under the SPP. No interest will be
payable on any monies returned to applicants.
7 What if I own Shares through a
trustee or custodian or own Shares in
more than one capacity?
If you own Shares through a trustee or custodian, then,
subject to certain certification requirements and other
conditions, you may instruct the trustee or custodian to
purchase Shares on your behalf, up to the NZ$15,000 /
AU$13,950 limit. If you own Shares through a trustee or
custodian and also own Shares in your own name, then
you may either purchase Shares yourself or instruct your
trustee or custodian to purchase Shares on your behalf.
You may not do both.
If you receive more than one copy of this SPP booklet,
or if you hold Shares in more than one capacity (e.g.
because you are both a sole and joint holder of Shares)
but not where you own Shares through a trustee or
custodian to which the first paragraph above applies
you may only purchase Shares in all capacities up to
the NZ$15,000 / AU$13,950 limit. By applying to purchase
Shares under the SPP, you represent that you have not
exceeded that limit.
If you are a Custodian, or you hold shares through
a Custodian, please read clause 4 of the Terms
and Conditions.
8 Do I have to participate?
No. Participation is entirely voluntary.
6KATHMANDU HOLDINGS LIMITED SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
9 Is this offer transferable to another
person?
No. This offer is personal to you and you may not transfer
your right to purchase Shares under the SPP to anyone
else; that is, it is non-renounceable.
10 What are the risks to investing in
the SPP?
The market price of Shares may rise or fall between the
date of this offer and the date when Shares are allotted
to you. As a result, the price to be paid for the Shares to
be issued under the SPP may be higher or lower than the
price at which Shares are trading on the NZX Main Board
and/or the Australian Securities Exchange when the
Shares are allotted to you.
There is no certainty that Shares will trade at or above
the Issue Price following the issue of Shares under
the SPP. Therefore, you should seek your own financial
advice in relation to this offer and your participation
under the SPP.
Further information about Kathmandu, including its
most recent financial statements, can be obtained from
Kathmandu’s website: www.kathmanduholdings.com.
You are also recommended to monitor Kathmandu’s
market announcements through the NZX and ASX
websites: www.nzx.com and www.asx.com.au, which are
released under the ticker code KMD.
11 What is the current Share price?
The Share price is quoted on the NZX website at www.
nzx.com and on the ASX website at www.asx.com.au.
12 How do I apply for Shares under
the SPP?
Apply online at www.kathmandushares.com or follow
the step-by-step instructions set out on the enclosed
personalised Application Form.
If you apply by using the enclosed personalised
Application Form, send your completed Application
Form with your payment by cheque or direct debit in
New Zealand dollars or by BPAY® Australian dollars
for the value of the Shares you wish to apply for to the
Share Registrar, as set out in the instructions on the
Application Form.
Australian shareholders who make an Australian dollar
BPAY® payment using the customer reference number
shown on your Application Form, do not need to return
the Application Form. By making such payment you are
deemed to give the representations and certifications set
out in these Terms and Conditions.
If the exact amount of money is not tendered,
Kathmandu reserves the right not to accept all or part of
your payment. In those circumstances, Kathmandu will
return your application and cheque or refund all or part
of your payment (without interest). Online application
payments can only be made by direct debit in New
Zealand or by BPAY® Australian dollars.
By submitting an application or by paying any
subscription monies you agree to be bound by the
terms set out in this SPP document including
representing and certifying to Kathmandu those
matters set out in clause 7, and (if you are a Custodian),
clause 4 of the Terms and Conditions.
Once submitted, you will not be able to withdraw or
revoke your application.
13 How long is the SPP open and when
will I receive my Shares?
The SPP opens on 26 March 2018 and is expected to close
at 7.00pm on 13 April 2018, unless extended. If you want
to participate you should ensure your Application Form
and payment (by cheque or direct debit in New Zealand
or by BPAY® Australian dollars or cheque in Australia) is
received no later than 7.00pm on the Closing Date.
Please allow adequate time for mail deliveries if
payment is made by cheque. Applications received
after this time may not be accepted.
You will receive Shares issued to you under the SPP on
the Allotment Date, which is currently expected to be 20
April 2018. A statement confirming the number of Shares
issued to you under the SPP will be sent to you no later
than 5 business days after the Allotment Date.
14 How many Shares will I receive?
Subject to scaling, you will receive the number of Shares
equal to the dollar amount of Shares you have applied
for divided by the Issue Price (or, if you have subscribed
for an Australian dollar amount, the Australian dollar
Issue Price converted in accordance with question 5
above) and rounded up to the nearest Share, subject to
7KATHMANDU HOLDINGS LIMITED SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
the maximum application amount (see question
16 below).
If Kathmandu receives applications for Shares
in excess of NZ$8 million, it has the discretion to
accept oversubscriptions of up to an additional
NZ$2 million. If Kathmandu receives applications
for Shares in excess of NZ$10 million (i.e. the initial
cap of NZ$8 million plus the additional band of
NZ$2 million available at our discretion), it will scale
back the number of Shares to be allotted under the
SPP. See clause 9 of the terms and conditions.
In the case of scaling, your application monies will
be greater than the value of the Shares you will be
allotted. The difference between the value of the
Shares you are allotted and your application monies
will be refunded to you either by direct credit to your
bank account in New Zealand or to your Australian
bank account (if those details are held by the Share
Registrar) or by cheque mailed within 5 business
days of the Allotment Date. No interest will be
paid on any application monies returned to you.
15 Will the Shares be quoted?
The Shares will be quoted on the NZX Main Board and on
the Australian Securities Exchange. The NZX Main Board
is a licensed market operated by NZX Limited, which is a
licensed market operator regulated under the Financial
Markets Conduct Act 2013. However, neither NZX nor
ASX accept any responsibility for any statement in this
SPP booklet.
It is expected that you will be able to commence trading
the Shares allotted to you under the SPP on the NZX
Main Board and the Australian Securities Exchange on
the next Trading Day after the Allotment Date.
16 Why is there a maximum
application amount?
The offer under the SPP needs to comply with the
conditions imposed under NZX Main Board Listing
Rule 7.3.4(c) and ASIC Class Order 09/425 which caps
the maximum application amount of each Eligible
Shareholder at NZ$15,000 and AU$15,000 respectively.
In order not to exceed the lesser of these two amounts,
Kathmandu has set the maximum Australian dollar
application amount at AU$13,950 to allow for NZ$/
AU$ exchange rate movements up to the Closing Date.
However, if the NZ$:AU$ exchange rate varies such that
the dollar amount you applied for exceeds either of the
NZ$15,000 or AU$15,000 limits, then (subject to scaling)
Shares having a total Issue Price equal to the relevant
limit will be issued to you and you will be refunded the
excess cash amount.
Refunds will not be paid however for any difference
arising solely due to rounding or where the aggregate
amount of the refund payable to an applicant is less
than NZ$1.00.
17 What is Kathmandu’s dividend policy?
Kathmandu does not have a formal dividend policy. On
20 March 2018 Kathmandu declared an interim dividend
of NZ$0.04 per share in respect of the financial year
ending 31 July 2018, with a record date of 8 June 2018.
Shares issued under the SPP will be eligible to receive the
dividend.
18 What is the dilutionary effect of
the SPP?
If you do not participate in the SPP, your shareholding
in Kathmandu will be diluted. By way of example, a
Shareholder owning 5% of the issued Shares before
the SPP who does not participate in the SPP will own
approximately 4.9% of the issued Shares after the SPP
(assuming the SPP is fully subscribed to the $8 million
limit and the Shares are issued at NZ$2.16 per Share).
Further, as the SPP is not a pro-rata offer, even if you
participate in the SPP, your shareholding percentage
in Kathmandu will likely change. Whether your
shareholding percentage increases or decreases will
depend on how many Shares you apply for, how many
Shares you hold on the Record Date and how many
Shares other Eligible Shareholders apply for and are
allotted under the SPP.
19 Further assistance

broker, financial, investment or other professional advisor
before making your investment decision.

any similar arrangement and issued by Kathmandu
to you in the 12 months prior to and including
the date of the application for Shares under the

AU$15,000 (excluding any Shares you may have

Note that this limit applies only to Shares issued by

other similar arrangement in the last 12 months).
(f) you agree to be bound by the constitution of

from the Companies Office website: https://
companies-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz/;
(g) if you are not a Custodian, you certify to

(i) the Shares applied for under the SPP;
(ii) any other Shares issued under an arrangement
similar to the SPP in the 12 months before the

12KATHMANDU HOLDINGS LIMITED SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
and does not include any Shares the Eligible
Shareholder may have acquired on the NZX Main
Board or the Australian Securities Exchange.
(h) you authorise Kathmandu (and its officers or
agents) to correct any error in, or omission
from, your Application Form and to complete
the Application Form by the insertion of any
missing details;
(i) you acknowledge that Kathmandu may at
any time irrevocably determine that your
Application Form is valid, in accordance with
these terms and conditions, even if the
Application Form is incomplete, contains errors
or is otherwise defective;
(j) you accept the risk associated with any refund
that may be despatched to you by cheque to your

Shares you receive under the SPP; and
(n) you irrevocably and unconditionally agree to these
terms and conditions.
7.2 If a Custodian applies to purchase Shares under the
SPP for a beneficial owner pursuant to clause 4.2, the
certification referred to in clause 7.1(e) will be taken to
be given by the beneficial owner on whose behalf the
Custodian is applying to purchase Shares.
8 Issue Price
You agree to pay the Issue Price per Share up to a
maximum amount you have selected on the
Application Form.
9 Scaling
9.1 If Kathmandu receives applications for Shares in
excess of NZ$8 million, it has the discretion to accept
oversubscriptions of up to an additional NZ$2 million.
If Kathmandu receives applications in excess of
NZ$10 million (i.e. the initial cap of NZ$8 million plus
the additional band of NZ$2 million available at its
discretion), it will scale back all applications on a
proportionate basis having regard to the size of existing
shareholdings at the Record Date. If you apply for Shares
under the SPP, you will apply for a dollar amount rather
than a number of Shares. The number of Shares you
receive will be determined by dividing the dollar amount
of the Shares you have applied for (as scaled back)
by the Issue Price (or, if you elect to pay in Australian
dollars, the Australian dollar Issue Price converted in
accordance with section 5 above). If this produces a
fractional number, the number of Shares you will be
allotted will be rounded up to the nearest whole number
of Shares.
9.2 If your application is scaled, your application monies
will be greater than the value of the Shares you will be
allotted. The difference will be refunded to you either by
direct credit to your bank account (if those details are
held by the Share Registrar) or by cheque mailed within
5 business days of the Allotment Date. No interest will
be paid on any application monies returned to you.
10 The Shares
10.1 Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with, and
have the same voting rights, dividend rights and other
entitlements as, existing fully paid Shares in Kathmandu
quoted on the NZX Main Board and the Australian
Securities Exchange.
10.2 The Shares have been accepted for quotation on the
NZX Main Board and an application will be made by
Kathmandu for the Shares that are allotted under the
SPP to be quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange.
The NZX Board is a registered market operated by NZX
which is a licensed market operated by NZX Limited,
which is a licensed market operator regulated under the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. Neither NZX nor
ASX accept any responsibility for any statement in this
SPP booklet.
10.3 You cannot trade in any Shares issued to you pursuant
to the SPP, either as principal or agent, until quotation
on the NZX Main Board and the Australian Securities
14KATHMANDU HOLDINGS LIMITED SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
Exchange in accordance with the Listing Rules.
Kathmandu expects that the Shares will commence
trading on the NZX Main Board on the next Trading Day
after the Allotment Date.
11 Amendments to the SPP and waiver of compliance
11.1 Notwithstanding any other term or condition of the
SPP and/or the Application Form, Kathmandu may, at
its discretion:
(a) make non-material modifications to the SPP on
such terms and conditions it thinks fit (in which
event applications for Shares under the SPP will
remain binding on the applicant notwithstanding
such modification and irrespective of whether
an Application Form was received by the Share
Registrar before or after such modification is
made); and/or
(b) suspend or terminate the SPP at any time prior to
the issue of the Shares under the SPP (including by
reviewing the timetable for the SPP). If the SPP is
terminated, application monies will be refunded to
applicants without interest within 5 business days
of termination.
11.2 Kathmandu reserves the right to waive compliance with
any provision of these terms and conditions, which will
be done in accordance with Australia and New Zealand
law (including the NZX and ASX Listing Rules
as relevant).
11.3 Kathmandu will notify NZX and ASX of any waiver,
amendment, variation, suspension, withdrawal or
termination of the SPP. Approval of any material
changes to the SPP will be sought from NZX and ASX to
the extent required under the NZX and ASX Listing Rules.
12 Governing Law
These terms and conditions shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand.
13 Dispute Resolution
If any dispute arises in connection with the SPP,
Kathmandu may settle it in any manner it thinks
fit. It may do so generally or in relation to any
particular shareholder, applicant, application or Share.
Kathmandu’s decision will be final and binding.
14 Inconsistency
Unless otherwise determined by the directors of
Kathmandu, in the event of any inconsistency between
the terms and conditions of the SPP and:
(a) the accompanying letter from the Chairman of
Kathmandu and Questions and Answers, the terms
and conditions take precedence;
(b) Kathmandu’s constitution, Kathmandu’s
constitution shall prevail.
