KATHMANDU ANNOUNCES SUCCESSFUL CLOSING OF SHARE PURCHASE PLAN


Kathmandu Holdings Limited (ASX:KMD, NZX:KMD) (“Kathmandu” or the “Company”) is pleased to

announce that it’s NZ$8 million Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) has closed oversubscribed. Under the SPP,

Kathmandu has the ability to accept up to NZ$2 million in oversubscriptions. Kathmandu has elected to accept

oversubscriptions for the full NZ$2 million bringing the total subscriptions under the SPP to NZ$10 million.


Kathmandu’s Chairperson, David Kirk said “we are delighted with the extent of support, both for our

institutional placement last month and for the Share Purchase Plan, and the affirmation by our shareholders of

our growth plans for the business. The Board would like to thank all those shareholders who participated in

the SPP for their continuing support of Kathmandu.”


Under the SPP, the price payable for shares is NZ$2.16, which is the same price paid by investors in the

NZ$40 million institutional placement conducted on 20 March 2018.

shareholders with subscriptions totalling NZ$14,474,687.84, exceeding the offer size of NZ$8 million by
