GENTRACK ANNOUNCES NZ$90 MILLION EQUITY RAISING TO
SUPPORT FUTURE ACQUISITION AND GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES
Gentrack Group Limited (NZX/ASX: GTK) advises that it intends to raise approximately
NZ$90 million of new equity through a fully underwritten accelerated entitlement offer
("Offer").
On 21 June 2018, Gentrack announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire
Evolve Parent Limited and Evolve Analytics Limited (Evolve) for £23.0 million (NZ$44.2m).
The acquisition of Evolve enhances Gentrack's ability to provide highly innovative, value-
add solutions to UK energy utilities, while Gentrack provides a base for Evolve's product
expansion into new markets.
The acquisition of Evolve was completed on 29 June 2018 and has increased Gentrack's
debt to approximately NZ$90m. Proceeds raised through the Offer will be used to pay down
Gentrack's existing bank debt, providing funding capacity to support future acquisition and
growth opportunities.
Gentrack has completed four strategic acquisitions since March 2017 across both the
Utilities and Airports divisions, which have broadened its compelling product offering.
Gentrack continues to investigate potential acquisition opportunities that it may seek to
pursue, which would expand its product offering, strengthen its market position and grow
into new geographies. These potential acquisitions are aligned with Gentrack's existing
business and growth strategy. The Offer provides Gentrack with capacity to pursue these
acquisition opportunities, in addition to its existing organic growth opportunities, while
maintaining a conservative debt position.
The Board has concluded that undertaking an accelerated entitlement offer to raise new
equity is the best option for the company and its shareholders, and provides an equal
opportunity for all eligible shareholders to participate.
Under the Offer, Eligible Shareholders are entitled to acquire 1 New Share for every 5.77
Existing Shares held as at 9.00pm (New Zealand time) on the Record Date of Friday, 6 July
2018, at an Application Price of NZ$6.19 per New Share.
The Application Price reflects an 11.6% discount to the last close price on the NZX of
NZ$7.00 and a 10.0% discount to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of NZ$6.88 as at 3
July 2018.
Gentrack's largest shareholder, Hg, intends to subscribe for its full entitlement. Gentrack
Chair, John Clifford, intends to subscribe for NZ$2.5m worth of new shares under the Offer.

The Offer has been underwritten by Deutsche Craigs Limited and UBS New Zealand
Limited.

in clause 19 of schedule 1 of the New Zealand Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMCA) and pursuant to the provisions of the Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (as modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 and ASIC
Instrument 16-0278).

(ASX) for the purpose of that information being made available to participants in the market and that information can be found byvisiting www.nzx.com/companies/GTK and http://www.asx.com.au. This presentation should be read in conjunction with Gentrack’s
other periodic and continuous disclosure announcements released to NZX and ASX.

Shares issued under the Offer and Gentrack expects that the New Shares will be quoted upon completion of allotment procedures. Neither NZX nor ASX accepts responsibility for any statement in this document. The fact that ASX may approve the New Shares for
quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of Gentrack.
This presentation does not constitute legal, financial, tax, financial product advice or investment advice or a recommendation to acquire Gentrack securities, and has been prepared without taking into account the objectives, financial situation or needsof

This presentation contains certain ‘forward-looking statements’ such as indications of, and guidance on, future earnings and financial position and performance. Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward-looking words such as,
‘expect’, ‘anticipate’, ‘likely’, ‘intend’, ‘could’, ‘may’, ‘predict’, ‘plan’, ‘propose’, ‘will’, ‘believe’, ‘forecast’, ‘estimate’, ‘target’, ‘outlook’, ‘guidance’ and other similar expressions and include statements regarding the conduct and outcome of the Offer and the use of
the proceeds thereof. Such forward-looking statements are not guarantees or predictions of future performance and involve knownand unknown risks and uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of Gentrack, and may involve
significant elements of subjective judgement and assumptions as to future events which may or may not be correct. There can be no assurance that actual outcomes will not materially differ from these forward-looking statements. A number of important factors
could cause actual results or performance to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are based on information available to Gentrack as at the date of this presentation. Except as required by law or regulation

DEAR SHAREHOLDER,
On Thursday 21 June 2018 we announced that Gentrack Group
Limited (Gentrack) entered into an agreement
to acquire all the shares
of Evolve Parent Limited and Evolve Analytics Limited (Evolve), for
£23.0 million. The transaction was debt-funded with settlement
occurring on Friday 29 June 2018. Following the completion of the
transaction, Gentrack’s debt increased to approximately NZ$90 million.
Gentrack is seeking to raise approximately NZ$90 million of new
equity from an underwritten accelerated pro-rata entitlement offer to
Eligible Shareholders of Gentrack (Offer). Proceeds raised through
the Offer will be used to pay down Gentrack’s bank debt, leaving
undrawn debt facilities of approximately NZ$50 million, providing
funding capacity to support future acquisition and growth
opportunities.
Gentrack has completed four strategic acquisitions since March 2017
across both the Utilities and Airports divisions, which have broadened
its compelling product offering.
Gentrack continues
to investigate potential acquisition opportunities
that it may seek to pursue, which would expand its product offering,
strengthen its market position and allow growth into new geographies.
These potential acquisitions are aligned with Gentrack’s existing
business and growth strategy. The Offer provides Gentrack with
capacity to pursue
these acquisition opportunities in addition to its
existing organic growth opportunities, while maintaining a
conservative debt position.
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to offer Eligible Shareholders the
opportunity to participate in the Offer.
DETAILS OF THE ENTITLEMENT OFFER
The Offer provides an opportunity for Eligible Shareholders to increase
the number of Shares they hold in Gentrack and to take advantage of
the discount at which the New Shares will be issued under the Offer,
relative to the trading price prior to the announcement of the Offer.
Under the Offer, Eligible Shareholders are entitled to acquire one New
Share for every 5.77 Existing Shares held as at 9.00pm (New

Zealand time) on the Record Date of Friday 6 July 2018, at an
Application Price of NZ$6.19 per New Share.
The Application Price reflects a 13.0% discount to NZ$7.11, being the
volume-weighted average price of Gentrack’s shares as traded on
NZX for the last five trading days prior to Wednesday 4 July 2018 and
a 10.0% discount to the theoretical ex-entitlement price of NZ$6.88.
Eligible Retail Shareholders will have until Thursday 26 July 2018 to
subscribe for New Shares.
The institutional component of the Offer will be accelerated and close
on Friday 6 July 2018.
Under
the Offer, there will be no trading of Entitlements. Instead, New
Shares not taken up, or attributable to Ineligible Shareholders, will be
offered to Institutional Investors through two Bookbuilds run by
the
Joint Lead Managers, Deutsche Craigs Limited
1
(
Deutsche Craigs)
and UBS New Zealand Limited (UBS).
The first Bookbuild will take place on Thursday 5 July 2018 and Friday
6 July 2018 and will comprise New Shares not taken up by Eligible
Institutional Shareholders under the Institutional Entitlement Offer and
New Shares attributable to Ineligible Institutional Shareholders. The
second Bookbuild
will take place on Monday 30 July 2018 and will
comprise New Shares not taken up by Eligible Retail Shareholders
under the Retail Entitlement Offer and
New Shares attributable to
Ineligible Retail Shareholders.
Any Premium achieved above the Application Price for the New
Shares in each of the Bookbuilds will be shared on a pro-rata basis
(with no brokerage costs deducted) between:
•in the case of the first Bookbuild, each Eligible Institutional
Shareholder who does not take up their Entitlement in full and
each Ineligible Institutional Shareholder; and
•in the case of the second Bookbuild, each Eligible Retail
Shareholder who does not take up their Entitlement in full and
each Ineligible Retail Shareholder.
The Premium achie
ved is likely to be different between the two
Bookbuilds.
Gentrack’s largest shareholder, Hg, intends to subscribe for its full
Entitlement. Additionally, I intend to subscribe for NZ$2.5 million
worth of New Shares under the Offer.
The Offer is fully underwritten by Deutsche Craigs and UBS.

A. IF YOU ARE AN ELIGIBLE RETAIL SHAREHOLDER, YOU MAY
TAKE THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS:
•take up all of your Entitlement;
•take up part of your Entitlement; or
•do nothing.
If you only take up part of your Entitlement or do nothing, any
Entitlement not taken up will be offered for sale in the Retail Bookbuild.
Any Retail Premium realised for those Entitlements in the Retail
Bookbuild will be paid (net of any applicable withholding tax) on a
pro-rata basis to those Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not take up
all of their Entitlements or who are ineligible to do so by virtue of being
an Ineligible Retail Shareholder.
The Offer is a pro-rata offer to Eligible Shareholders. Eligible
Shareholders who take up their Entitlement in full will not have their
percentage shareholding in Gentrack reduced by the Offer. However,
Eligible Shareholders who do not take up all of their Entitlement will
have their percentage shareholding in Gentrack diluted by the Offer.
To take up all or part of your Entitlement
If you are an Eligible Retail Shareholder and wish to take up all or part
of your Entitlement, you should:

payment agreed as acceptable to Gentrack. Please choose only
one payment option.
•If there is a discrepancy between the amount of Application
Monies and the number of New Shares indicated as your

will treat the Application as being for the lower of your Entitlement
and the number of New Shares the Application Monies will pay for.
Payment options

Shareholders only
If you wish to pay by direct debit you must complete the direct debit
section in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or in the online
Application (if you are applying for New Shares using the online
Application process set out below). By completing the direct debit
section in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you authorise the
Registrar to direct debit the nominated bank account for the amount
applied on the day the Entitlement and Acceptance Form is received
by the Registrar. The bank account must be with a New Zealand
registered bank.
You cannot specify a direct debit date and you must ensure that:
•the bank account details supplied are correct;
•the Application Monies in the bank account for the direct debit
are available on the day you submit your Application;
•the person(s) giving the direct debit instruction has/have
authority to operate the account solely/jointly; and
•the bank account you nominated is a transactional account

For payment by BPAY®, please follow the instructions on the
personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form or online at www.

Biller Code and your unique Customer Reference Number (CRN) on
your personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form or accessed online
at www.gentrackshareoffer.com. If you do not use the correct CRN

Form but are taken to agree to the terms of the Acceptance
Form; and
GENTRACK GROUP LIMITED OFFER DOCUMENT / 13
•if you do not pay for your all of the New Shares represented by

Entitlements in respect of such whole number of New Shares
which is covered in full by your Application Monies.
It is your responsibility to ensure that your BPAY® payment is
received by the Registrar by no later than 7.00pm (NZ time) / 5.00pm
(Sydney time) on Thursday 26 July 2018. You should be aware that
your financial institution may implement earlier cut-off

consideration in the timing of when you make payment.

the cheque is drawn on a New Zealand bank or that the bank draft is
in New Zealand Dollars (or, if you are an Eligible Australian

5. DETAILS OF THE OFFER
THE OFFER
The Offer is an offer of New Shares to Eligible Shareholders under an
accelerated pro-rata entitlement issue. Under the Offer, Eligible
Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 5.77
Existing Shares held at 9.00pm (NZ time) / 7.00pm (Sydney time) on
the Record Date. The New Shares will be the same class as, and will
rank equally with, Existing Shares which are quoted on the NZX Main
Board and ASX. It is a term of the Offer that Gentrack will take any
necessary steps to ensure that the New Shares are, immediately after
issue, quoted on the NZX Main Board and ASX.
The maximum number of New Shares being offered under the Offer
is 14,553,208
New Shares (subject to rounding).
Gentrack will raise a total of approximately NZ$90 million through the
Offer (before costs), which is fully underwritten by Deutsche Craigs
Limited and UBS New Zealand Limited.
The number of New Shares
to which an Eligible Shareholder is
entitled under an Entitlement will, in the case of fractions, be rounded
up to the nearest whole number.
The issue of New Shares pursuant to the Offer is not expected to have
any effect or consequence on the control of Gentrack.
APPLICATION PRICE
The Application Price is NZ$6.19 (or the A$ Price) per New Share
and must be paid in full on application.
The A$ Price will be the Australian dollar equivalent of NZ$6.19
determined using the RBNZ AUD/NZD exchange rate on Friday 6 July
2018 at 3.00pm (NZ time). The A$ Price will be announced by
Gentrack on Monday 9 July 2018.
Payment of the Application Price for the Retail Entitlement Offer must
be made in accordance with the instructions set out on the reverse of
the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or in accordance with the online
Application process (and as further described in Part 4: Actions to be
taken by Eligible Shareholders).
If you elect to apply for New Shares using New Zealand Dollars, any
New Shares issued
to you will be issued on Gentrack’s NZX branch
register. If you elect to apply for New Shares using the A$ Price, any
New Shares issued to you will be issued on Gentrack’s ASX branch
register.
Eligible Retail Shareholders must also deliver a completed Entitlement
and Acceptance Form (either by mail, delivery, fax or email) to the
Registrar. Alternatively, Applications may be made by Eligible Retail
Shareholders online at www.gentrackshareoffer.com without the
requirement to complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.
Application Monies received will be held in a trust account with the
Registrar until the corresponding New Shares are allotted or the
Application Monies are refunded (whichever is applicable). Interest
earned on the Application Monies will be for the benefit, and remain
the property, of Gentrack and will be retained by Gentrack whether or
not the issue of New Shares
takes place.
Any refund of Application Monies will be made without interest and
within 10 Business Days of allotment or the date that the decision not
to accept an Application is made (as the case may be).
WITHDRAWAL
Subject to compliance with all applicable laws, Gentrack reserves the
right to withdraw the Offer (or any of the Institutional Entitlement
Offer, Institutional Bookbuild, Retail Entitlement Offer or Retail
Bookbuild, and irrespective of whether or not all of them are
withdrawn) (either generally or in particular cases) at any time at its
absolute discretion.
If any Application is not accepted, all applicable Application Monies will
be refunded without interest to the relevant Shareholder.
OVERVIEW OF THE OFFER
The Offer comprises:
•the Institutional Entitlement Offer;
•the Institutional Bookbuild;
•the Retail Entitlement Offer; and
•the Retail Bookbuild,
each as described in further detail below.
PURPOSE OF THE OFFER
On Thursday 21 June 2018, Gentrack announced that it had entered
into an agreement to acquire Evolve for £23.0 million (NZ$4
4.2 million).
The acquisition of Evolve was completed on Friday 29 June 2018 and
has increased Gentrack’s debt to approximately NZ$90 million.
Proceeds raised through the Offer will be used to pay down
Gentrack’s bank debt, leaving undrawn debt facilities of approximately
NZ$50 million, providing funding capacity to support future acquisition
and growth opportunities.
Gentrack continues
to investigate potential acquisition opportunities
that it may seek to pursue, which would expand its product offering,
strengthen its market position and grow into new geographies. These
potential acquisitions are aligned with Gentrack’s existing business and
growth strategy. The Offer provides Gentrack with capacity to pursue
these acquisition opportunities, in addition to its existing organic
growth opportunities, while maintaining a conservative debt position.
The Investor Presentation is available on NZX’s website
(www.nzx.com/markets/NZSX/securities/GTK) and on Gentrack’s
website www.gentrack.com.
THE RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER
Overview of the Retail Entitlement Offer
Gentrack is offering Eligible Retail Shareholders the opportunity to
subscribe for 1 New Share for every 5.77 Existing Shares held as at
9.00pm (NZ time) / 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date, at an

ratio and the Application Price are the same as for the Institutional
Entitlement Offer.

(Sydney time) on Tuesday 10 July 2018 and closes at 7.00pm (NZ
time) / 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Thursday 26 July 2018 (subject to
Gentrack’s right to modify these dates).
Entitlements will not be listed and cannot be traded on the NZX Main
Board or ASX or privately transferred. However, Ineligible Retail
Shareholders, and Eligible Retail Shareholders who have not taken up
their full Entitlements, may receive some value in respect of those
Entitlements not taken up if a Retail Premium is realised under the
Retail Bookbuild. However, there is no guarantee that any Premium
will be realised, and any Retail Premium may be different from any
Institutional Premium.
Eligibility under the Retail Entitlement Offer
The Retail Entitlement Offer is only open to Eligible Retail
Shareholders. Eligible Retail Shareholders are those persons who:
•are registered as Shareholders at 9.00pm (NZ time) /
7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date

Eligible Retail Shareholder
and in any case:
•are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or
benefit of a person in the United States; and
•are not Eligible Institutional Shareholders or Ineligible Institutional
Shareholders.
If you sell any Shares (and that sale settles) prior to 9.00pm (NZ time)
/ 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date, then the Entitlements
attributable to those Shares will accrue to the holder of those Shares
as at 9.00pm (NZ time) / 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date. If
you have acquired Shares (and that acquisition settles) after 9.00pm
(NZ time) / 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date, you will not be
issued any Entitlements in relation to those Shares.
The Retail Entitlement Offer does not constitute an offer to any person
who is not an Eligible Retail Shareholder, including any Eligible
Institutional Shareholder or Ineligible Institutional Shareholder, or any
Ineligible Retail Shareholder. Any person allocated New Shares under
the Institutional Entitlement Offer or Institutional Bookbuild does not
have any entitlement to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer in
respect of those New Shares.
Gentrack reserves the right to reject any Application for New Shares
under the Retail Entitlement Offer that it considers comes from a
person who is not an Eligible Retail Shareholder.
Acceptance of Entitlement under the Retail Entitlement Offer
The Entitlement and Acceptance Form distributed to Eligible Retail
Shareholders with this Offer Document sets out an Eligible Retail
Shareholder’s Entitlement to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.
Applications for New Shares by Eligible Retail Shareholders can only
be made on the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form sent
with this Offer Document or via an online Application at
www.gentrackshareoffer.com. Applications in excess of an Eligible
Retail Shareholder’s Entitlement will not be accepted.
Entitlements are not rounded up to a minimum holding. The number of
New Shares to which an Eligible Retail Shareholder is entitled under
an Entitlement will, in the case of fractions of New Shares, be rounded
up
to the nearest whole number of New Shares.
Eligible Retail Shareholders are not obliged to subscribe for any or all
of the New Shares
to which they are entitled under the Offer. They
may choose to take up some or all of their Entitlements or allow some
or all of their Entitlements to lapse.
Any person outside New Zealand or Australia who takes up an
Entitlement in the Retail Entitlement Offer (and therefore applies for
New Shares) through a New Zealand or Australian resident nominee,
and their nominee, will be deemed to have represented and warranted
to Gentrack that the Offer can be lawfully made to their nominee
pursuant to this Offer
Document. None of Gentrack, the Joint Lead
Managers, the Underwriters, the Registrar or any of their respective
directors, officers, employees, agents or advisers accepts any liability
or responsibility to determine whether a person is eligible to
participate in this Offer. Any person in the United States or that is
acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States is not
permitted to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.
The Retail Bookbuild
Entitlements that are not taken up by Eligible Retail Shareholders
under
the Retail Entitlement Offer (together with those Entitlements
which would have been issued
to Ineligible Retail Shareholders if they
had been entitled to participate) will be offered for sale under the
Retail Bookbuild to Institutional Investors (which may include Eligible
Institutional Shareholders whether or not they take up their full
Entitlements under the Offer).
T
he Retail Bookbuild is expected to take place on Monday 30 July 2018.
For further details of how the Retail Bookbuild will work, see
Bookbuilds on page 17.
THE INSTITUTIONAL ENTITLEMENT OFFER
Overview of the Institutional Entitlement Offer
Gentrack is offering Eligible Institutional Shareholders the opportunity
to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 5.77 Existing Shares held as
at 9.00pm (NZ time) / 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date, at
an Application Price of NZ$6.19 (or the A$ Price) per New Share. This
GENTRACK GROUP LIMITED OFFER DOCUMENT / 17
ratio and the Application Price are the same as for the Retail
Entitlement Offer.
The Institutional Entitlement Offer opens on Wednesday 4 July 2018
and closes on Thursday 5 July 2018 (subject to Gentrack’s right to
modify these dates).
Entitlements will not be listed and cannot be traded on the NZX Main
Board or ASX or privately transferred. However, Ineligible Institutional
Shareholders, and Eligible Institutional Shareholders who have not
taken up their full Entitlements, may receive some value in respect of
those Entitlements not taken up if an Institutional Premium is realised
under the Institutional Bookbuild. However, there is no guarantee that
any Premium will be realised, and any Institutional Premium may be
different from any Retail Premium.
Eligibility under the Institutional Entitlement Offer
The Institutional Entitlement Offer is only open to Eligible Institutional
Shareholders, being those Shareholders at 9.00pm (NZ time) /
7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date with an address in New
Zealand, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore or the United
Kingdom and, in each case, who are Institutional Investors (or
nominees of Institutional Investors).
The Joint Lead Managers will determine the Shareholders who will be
treated as Eligible Institutional Shareholders for the purpose of
determining the Shareholders to whom an offer of New Shares will be
made under the Institutional Entitlement Offer. In exercising its
discretion, the Joint Lead Managers may have regard to a number of
matters, including legal and regulatory requirements and logistical and
registry constraints. Gentrack and the Joint Lead Managers will agree
on which Shareholders with a registered address outside of Australia
or New Zealand will be treated as Ineligible Institutional Shareholders.
If you sell any Shares (and that sale settles) prior to 9.00pm (NZ time)
/ 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date, then the Entitlements
attributable to those Shares will accrue to the holder of those Shares
as at 9.00pm (NZ time) / 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date. If
you have acquired Shares (and that acquisition settles) after the Record
Date, you will not receive any Entitlements in relation to those Shares.
Gentrack reserves the right to reject any Application for New Shares
under the Institutional Entitlement Offer that it considers comes from a
person who is not an Eligible Institutional Shareholder.
Acceptance of Entitlement under the Institutional Entitlement Offer
The Joint Lead Managers will contact Eligible Institutional
Shareholders to inform them of the terms and conditions of
participation in the Institutional Entitlement Offer and seek
confirmation of their Entitlements under the Offer. Applications for
New Shares by Eligible Institutional Shareholders can only be made in
accordance with that process. Applications in excess of an Eligible
Institutional Shareholder’s Entitlement will not be accepted.
Entitlements are not rounded up to a minimum holding. The number of
New Shares to which an Eligible Institutional Shareholder is entitled
under an Entitlement will, in the case of fractions of New Shares, be
rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The Institutional Bookbuild
Entitlements that are not taken up by Eligible Institutional Shareholders
under the Institutional Entitlement Offer (together with those
Entitlements of Ineligible Institutional Shareholders) will be offered
under the Institutional Bookbuild
to Institutional Investors (which may
include Eligible Institutional Shareholders whether or not they take up
their full Entitlements under the Offer).
The Institutional Bookbuild is expected to
take place on Thursday 5
July 2018 and Friday 6 July 2018.
For further details of how the Institutional Bookbuild will work, see
Bookbuilds EHORZ.
SETTLEMENT OF THE INSTITUTIONAL ENTITLEMENT OFFER
AND INSTITUTIONAL BOOKBUILD
Settlement of the Institutional Entitlement Offer and Institutional
Bookbuild will occur on the Institutional Settlement Date in accordance
with arrangements advised by the Joint Lead Managers to Eligible
Institutional Shareholders.
BOOKBUILDS
Each Bookbuild will be conducted by the Joint Lead Managers.
Any Premium realised for the Entitlements sold in the relevant
Bookbuild will be paid by the Joint Lead Managers to the Registrar
who will remit that amount pro-rata net of any amounts required to be
withheld to the relevant Shareholders in either Australian dollars or
New Zealand Dollars based on the relevant Shareholders’ nominated
bank account. Amounts paid in Australian dollars to such Shareholders
will be converted from New Zealand Dollars by the Registrar at the
prevailing exchange rate for buying Australian dollars using New
Zealand Dollars at the time of payment. That exchange rate may be
different from the exchange rate used to set the A$ Price. Such
Shareholders will be paid by direct credit to the nominated bank
account as noted on Gentrack’s share register or, if there is no
nominated bank account, by New Zealand Dollar cheque to the
registered address on Gentrack’s share register.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Premium does not include the
Application Price payable to Gentrack by Institutional Investors who
acquire Entitlements under the Bookbuilds.
No fees or costs will be payable by any Shareholder, and no interest
will be collected or paid to any Shareholder on any Premium. There is
no guarantee
that any value will be received from either of the
Bookbuilds by Eligible Shareholders who do not take up their full
Entitlements or by Ineligible Shareholders. The Premium may be zero,
in which case no payment will be made to the holders of the
Entitlements sold in the relevant Bookbuild. Any Premium realised for
the Entitlements sold in the Retail Bookbuild may be different from the
Premium realised for the sale of Entitlements in the Institutional
Bookbuild. The outcome of the Institutional Bookbuild is not an
18 / GENTRACK GROUP LIMITED OFFER DOCUMENT
indication as to whether there will be a Retail Premium or what any
Retail Premium may be.
The ability to sell Entitlements in a Bookbuild and the ability to obtain
any Premium will be dependent upon various factors, including market
conditions. Further, the Premium (if any) may not be the highest bid
for the Entitlements, but will be determined having regard to a number
of factors, including having binding and bona fide offers which, in the
reasonable opinion of the Joint Lead Managers, will, if accepted, result
in otherwise acceptable allocations to clear the entire book. The Joint
Lead Managers and Gentrack have the right to close a Bookbuild early
or to extend the bookbuild closing time in their absolute discretion (but
have no obligation to do so), without recourse or notice to you.
The Joint Lead Managers are not acting for or on behalf of and are
not responsible as a fiduciary to any Gentrack security holder, and do
not have any obligation to any Gentrack security holder in relation to
the conduct of a Bookbuild or in respect of the price obtained in either
bookbuild. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Gentrack, the
Joint Lead Managers and each of their respective related bodies
corporate and affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers,
partners, employees, representatives and agents, disclaim all liability,
including for negligence, for any failure to realise a Premium in the
Bookbuilds, for any difference between the Retail Premium and the
Institutional Premium and for any failure to obtain any particular
exchange rate, or any movements in exchange rates, if exchanging the
Premium into Australian dollar funds. The Joint Lead Managers and
Gentrack reserve the right to allocate Entitlements under the
Bookbuilds at their discretion.
If all or part of your Entitlement is sold into a Bookbuild, then you will
forgo any exposure to increases or decreases in the value of New
Shares relating to those Entitlements and your percentage
shareholding in Gentrack will be diluted by your non-participation in
the Offer.
Any Premium realised under the Bookbuilds will be announced by
Gentrack on the NZX Main Board and ASX following the close of the
relevant Bookbuild.
NEW ZEALAND TAXATION TREATMENT
The following is a summary of New Zealand tax implications for New
Zealand tax residents in relation to the Entitlements granted under the
Offer, the exercise of any such Entitlements, and the Institutional
Premium and Retail Premium which may be payable under the Offer.
This summary is general in nature, does not take account of any
individual circumstances of any particular New Zealand tax resident
and is limited to those aspects of the Offer and not the taxation
implications of holding Existing Shares or New Shares, or any tax
implications for Shareholders outside New Zealand.
As Shareholders’ individual circumstances will differ, Shareholders
should seek advice from their tax adviser or other professional adviser
before participating in the Offer. This summary is not intended to be,
nor should it be construed as being, investment, legal or tax advice to
any particular Shareholder.
Taxation on the grant and exercise of an Entitlement under the Offer
The grant and/or exercise of an Entitlement under the Offer will not
constitute a taxable dividend derived by Eligible Shareholders for New
Zealand tax purposes.
The grant and/or exercise of any Entitlement under the Offer by
Shareholders who hold their Existing Shares on capital account should
not otherwise be treated as income for New Zealand tax purposes, as
the acquisition of Entitlements should be characterised as flowing
from the capital rights of the Existing Shares and should therefore be
on capital account for New Zealand income tax purposes.
However, although not a dividend, the grant and/or exercise of an
Entitlement under the Offer may give rise to taxable income if a
Shareholder holds their Existing Shares on revenue account. A
Shareholder will hold Existing Shares on revenue account if they
acquired those Shares for the purposes of sale or other disposal, or
they are in the business of dealing in shares.
Taxation on the Institutional Premium and Retail Premium
Any Institutional Premium or Retail Premium payable to any Eligible
Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements under the Offer in
full, or to any Ineligible Shareholders, will not be a dividend for New
Zealand tax purposes.
Any Institutional Premium or Retail Premium payable to Shareholders
who hold their Existing Shares on capital account should not
otherwise be taxable to those Shareholders (although this position is
not entirely free from doubt).
However, the Institutional Premium or Retail Premium may be taxable
(although not a dividend) if a Shareholder holds their Existing Shares
on revenue account. A Shareholder will hold Existing Shares on
revenue account if they acquired those Shares for the purposes of
sale or other disposal, or they are in the business of dealing in shares.
AUSTRALIAN TAXATION TREATMENT
Introduction
The following is a summary of the Australian tax implications in
relation to the Entitlements granted under the Offer, the exercise of
any such Entitlements and the Retail Premium which may be payable
under the Offer. This summary is limited to those aspects of the Offer
and not the tax implications of holding Existing Shares or New Shares.
This summary is for Eligible Retail Shareholders who are residents of
Australia for income tax purposes and hold their Existing Shares (and
will hold their Entitlements and any New Shares) on capital account.
This summary does not apply to Eligible Retail Shareholders that:
•hold Existing Shares, Entitlements or New Shares in their
business of share trading, dealing in securities or otherwise hold
their Existing Shares, Entitlements or New Shares on revenue
account or as trading stock;
•are subject to the ‘taxation of financial arrangements’ rules in
Division 230 of the Australian Tax Act in relation to their holding
of Existing Shares, Entitlements or New Shares;
GENTRACK GROUP LIMITED OFFER DOCUMENT / 19
• hold their Existing Shares, Entitlements or New Shares through a
permanent establishment in New Zealand; and/or
• acquired their Existing Shares pursuant to an employee share
scheme.
The summary below is general in nature and does not take account of
any individual circumstances of any particular Eligible Retail
Shareholder. Eligible Retail Shareholders should seek specific advice
applicable to their own particular circumstances from their own tax
advisers before reaching any conclusions as to the taxation
consequences of the Offer.
These comments do not address the taxation implications of the Offer
under the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of Australia.
These comments are based on Australian law and administrative
practice as at the time of issue of the Offer Document.
Taxation on the grant and exercise of an Entitlement under the Offer
The grant of the Entitlement to subscribe for New Shares should not,
of itself, result in any amount being included in the assessable income
of an Eligible Retail Shareholder.
For capital gains tax (CGT) purposes (see below), Shareholders will
be treated as having acquired their Entitlements on the same date that
they acquired the Existing Shares which gave rise to the Entitlements.
The first element of the cost base in the Entitlements should be nil.
The exercise of Entitlements and subscription for New Shares by an
Eligible Retail Shareholder should not, of itself, result in any amount
being included in that Shareholder’s assessable income. The
Application Price paid to subscribe for the New Shares will be included
in the Eligible Retail Shareholder’s cost base of the New Shares for
CGT purposes. New Shares will be treated for the purposes of the CGT
discount as having been acquired when the Eligible Retail Shareholder
exercised the Entitlement to subscribe for them.
Taxation on the Retail Premium
Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlements will
have their Entitlements sold on their behalf in the Retail Bookbuild and
any Retail Premium from the sale remitted to them.
The Commissioner of Taxation (Commissioner) recently released
Taxation Ruling TR 2017/4 in which the Commissioner ruled that retail
premiums received under certain renounceable entitlements will be
treated as capital proceeds from the realisation of a CGT asset and not
as ordinary income or a dividend for income tax purposes.
Taxation Ruling TR 2017/4 applies to entitlements that, amongst other
things, can be sold either on-market or off-market prior to the Retail
Bookbuild commencing. As the present Entitlements cannot be sold
either on-market or off-market before the Retail Bookbuild commencing,
Taxation Ruling TR 2017/4 does not apply to the Entitlements.
Although Taxation Ruling TR 2017/4 does not apply to the
Entitlements, as the Retail Premium is received as proceeds from a
sale of the Entitlements through the Retail Bookbuild process on behalf
of Eligible Retail Shareholders, the same reasoning that applied in
Taxation Ruling TR 2017/4 should apply here. Therefore, such sale
should constitute a CGT event to the Eligible Retail Shareholder and be
taxable under the CGT provisions, and the Retail Premium received by
the Eligible Retail Shareholder should constitute the capital proceeds
in respect of the sale.
Accordingly:
• Eligible Retail Shareholders whose Entitlements are sold into the
Retail Bookbuild should derive a capital gain broadly equal to the
amount of the Retail Premium received; and
• Eligible Retail Shareholders who are individuals, complying
superannuation entities or trustees that have held their Existing
Shares for at least 12 months prior to the date of the sale should
be entitled to the CGT discount in respect of the capital gain
resulting from the sale of the Entitlements into the Retail
Bookbuild (after offsetting any applicable capital losses). The
amount of this discount is 50% for individuals and trustees and
33 1/3% for complying superannuation entities.
The CGT discount is not available for companies. Trustees should seek
specific tax advice regarding the tax consequences arising from
making distributions attributable to discount capital gains.
Eligible Retail Shareholders should seek their own independent
taxation advice of participating in the Retail Bookbuild particularly
having regard to the fact that the Entitlements are not covered by
Taxation Ruling TR 2017/4.
Conversion to AUD
If you pay or receive any amounts that are expressed in a foreign
currency (i.e., NZD), they must be converted into AUD at the
applicable exchange rate. The Australian Taxation Office website
(www.ato.gov.au) provides daily exchange rates which may be used to
assist you with this calculation.
THE NEW SHARES
Each Share confers the right to vote at meetings, subject to any voting
restrictions imposed on Shareholders under Gentrack’s constitution or
the NZX Listing Rules. On a show of hands or by voice, every
Shareholder present in person or by proxy or representative has one
vote. On a poll, every Shareholder present in person or by proxy or
representative has one vote for each Share they hold. Each Share
confers a right to a pro-rata share of any dividend authorised by the
Board on Shares, and to any distribution of surplus assets of Gentrack
on any liquidation.
Applicants for New Shares will be bound by Gentrack’s constitution
and the terms of the Offer set out in this Offer Document. A copy of
Gentrack’s constitution can be found free of charge on Gentrack’s file
at the New Zealand Companies Office website at
https://companies-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz/.
New Shares issued under the Institutional Entitlement Offer,
Institutional Bookbuild, Retail Entitlement Offer and Retail Bookbuild
will rank equally with each other and Existing Shares.
20 / GENTRACK GROUP LIMITED OFFER DOCUMENT
LISTING
Entitlements will not be listed and cannot be traded on the NZX Main
Board or ASX or privately transferred. It is a term of the Offer that
Gentrack will take any necessary steps to ensure that the New Shares
are, immediately after issue, quoted on the NZX Main Board and ASX.
If you elect to apply for New Shares using New Zealand Dollars, any
New Shares issued to you will be issued on Gentrack’s NZX branch
register. If you elect to apply for New Shares using the A$ Price, any
New Shares issued to you will be issued on Gentrack’s ASX branch
register.
NZX
The New Shares have been accepted for quotation by NZX and will be
quoted on the NZX Main Board upon completion of allotment
procedures. The NZX Main Board is a licensed market under the
FMCA. However, NZX accepts no responsibility for any statement in
this Offer Document. It is expected that trading on the NZX Main Board
of the New Shares issued under:
•the Institutional Entitlement Offer and Institutional Bookbuild will
commence on Friday 13 July 2018; and
•the Retail Entitlement Offer and Retail Bookbuild will commence
on Thursday 2 August 2018.
ASX
An application has or will be made to ASX for quotation of the New
Shares issued under the Offer and Gentrack expects that the New
Shares will be quoted upon completion of allotment procedures. It is
expected that trading on ASX of the New Shares issued under the
Retail Entitlement Offer and Retail Bookbuild will commence on Friday
3 August 2018.
ASX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this Offer
Document. The fact that ASX may approve the New Shares for
quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of
Gentrack.
Holding statements for New Shares allotted under the Offer will be
issued and mailed as soon as practicable after allotment. Applicants
under the Offer should ascertain their allocation before trading in the
New Shares. Applicants can do so by contacting the Registrar, whose
contact details are set out in Part 8: Directory.
Applicants selling New Shares prior to receiving a holding statement
do so at their own risk. None of Gentrack, the Joint Lead Managers,
the Registrar nor any of their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents or advisers accepts any liability or responsibility should any
person attempt to sell or otherwise deal with New Shares before the
holding statement showing the number of New Shares allotted to the
Applicant is received by the Applicant for those New Shares.
NOMINEES
If you hold Existing Shares as nominee or custodian for more than one
person, then you may (depending on the nature of each such person)
be an Eligible Institutional Shareholder, Ineligible Institutional
Shareholder, Eligible Retail Shareholder or Ineligible Retail
Shareholder with regard to the Entitlement of each such person.
Nominees and custodians should note that the Retail Entitlement Offer
is not available to Eligible Institutional Shareholders who were invited
to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer (whether they
accepted their Entitlement or not) and Ineligible Institutional
Shareholders.
Nominees and custodians may not distribute any part of this Offer
Document, and may not permit any beneficial shareholder to
participate in the Offer who is located in the United States or any
other country outside New Zealand and Australia, except to
institutional and professional investors listed in, and to the extent
permitted under, the section captioned “International Offer
Restrictions” below or elsewhere as Gentrack may determine it is
lawful and practical to make the Offer.
In particular, persons acting as nominees or custodians for other
persons may not take up New Shares on behalf of, or send any
documents relating to the Offer to, any person in the United States. If
a nominee or custodian takes up Entitlements for the account or
benefit of a person in the United States, such person may receive no
value for any such Entitlements.
Gentrack is not required to determine whether or not any registered
holder is acting as a nominee or custodian, or the identity or residence
of any beneficial owners of Shares. Where any holder is acting as a
nominee for a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its
beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the
beneficiary in the Retail Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable
foreign laws. Eligible Retail Shareholders who are nominees, trustees
or custodians are therefore advised to seek independent advice as to
how to proceed.
OVERSEAS SHAREHOLDERS
The Retail Entitlement Offer is open only to Shareholders with a
registered address in New Zealand or Australia at 9.00pm (NZ time) /
7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date, who are not in the United
States or acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United
States, and who are not Eligible Institutional Shareholders or Ineligible
Institutional Shareholders.
The Institutional Entitlement Offer is open only to Shareholders as at
9.00pm (NZ time) / 7.00pm (Sydney time) on the Record Date with an
address in New Zealand, Australia, Canada, Hong Kong, Singapore, or
the United Kingdom and, in each case, who are Institutional Investors
(or nominees of an Institutional Investor).
The Offer is not open to Shareholders in other jurisdictions as
Gentrack considers that it is unreasonable for Gentrack to make the
Offer into those jurisdictions having regard to the number of securities
held by Ineligible Retail Shareholders and Ineligible Institutional
Shareholders, the number and value of New Shares that they would
be offered and the costs of complying with the legal and regulatory
requirements which would apply to an offer of securities to Ineligible
GENTRACK GROUP LIMITED OFFER DOCUMENT / 21
Retail Shareholders and Ineligible Institutional Shareholders in those
places. The Joint Lead Managers and their affiliates and related bodies
corporate and each of their directors, officers, partners, employees,
advisers and agents disclaim any liability in respect of any
determination as to eligibility,
to the maximum extent permitted by law.
Shareholders with an address in those jurisdictions will not be issued
Entitlements.
This Offer Document is intended for use only in connection with the
Offer to Eligible Retail Shareholders with a registered address in New
Zealand and Australia and Eligible Institutional Shareholders with an

32 How do security holders dispose
of their entitlements (except by

Entitlements which are not taken up by an
eligible shareholder or which would have
been issued to ineligible shareholders had
they been entitled to participate, will be
offered for sale to institutional investors
through an Institutional Bookbuild and a
Retail Bookbuild.
Any premium realised for those
entitlements in the bookbuilds will be paid
(net of any applicable withholding tax) on a
pro rata basis to those shareholders who do
not take up all of their entitlements or who
are ineligible to do so by virtue of being an
ineligible shareholder.
There will be a bookbuild for the
Institutional Entitlement Offer (with any
institutional premium realised for the
entitlements in the institutional bookbuild
shared by eligible institutional
shareholders who do not take up all of their
entitlements and ineligible institutional
shareholders) and a separate bookbuild for
the Retail Entitlement Offer (with any
retail premium realised for the
entitlements in the Retail Bookbuild shared
by eligible retail shareholders who do not
take up all of their entitlements and
ineligible retail shareholders).
There is no guarantee that there will be any
premium realised for the entitlements
offered for sale in the bookbuilds, and the
premium realised (if any) in one bookbuild
may be different from the premium
realised (if any) in the other bookbuild.

WELLINGTON MELBOURNE
NOTICE PURSUANT TO CLAUSE 20(1)(a) OF SCHEDULE 8 TO THE FINANCIAL MARKETS
CONDUCT REGULATIONS 2014
1. Gentrack Group Limited (Gentrack) has announced that it will undertake a fully
underwritten pro rata 1 for 5.77 accelerated entitlement offer (with any shares not
taken up or attributable to ineligible shareholders being offered to institutional
investors through two bookbuilds to be run by the Joint Lead Managers) of new fully
paid ordinary shares of the same class as already quoted on the NZX Main Board of
NZX Limited (NZX Main Board) and the Australian Securities Exchange operated by ASX
Limited (ASX) (the Offer).
2. Pursuant to clause 20(1)(a) of schedule 8 to the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations
2014 (Regulations), the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMCA) and the
Australian Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act), Gentrack states that:
(a) Gentrack is making the Offer in reliance upon the exclusion in clause 19 of
Schedule 1 to the FMCA and is giving this notice under clause 20(1)(a) of Schedule
8 to the FMC Regulations.
(b) Gentrack is giving this notice under sections 708A and 708AA of the Corporations
Act (as notionally modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues)
Instrument 2016/84 and ASIC Instrument 16-0278).
(c) As at the date of this notice, Gentrack is in compliance with the continuous
disclosure obligations that apply to it in relation to ordinary shares in Gentrack.
(d) As at the date of this notice, Gentrack is in compliance with its financial reporting
obligations (as defined in subclause 20(5) of schedule 8 to the Regulations).
(e) As at the date of this notice, there is no information that is 'excluded information'
as defined in subclause 20(5) of schedule 8 to the Regulations.
(f) The Offer is not expected to have any material effect or consequence on the
control of Gentrack on the following basis:
(i) if all eligible shareholders take up their pro rata entitlements to new
shares under the Offer, their percentage shareholding in Gentrack will
remain the same and there will be no effect on the control of Gentrack;
(ii) for shareholders who choose not to participate, and the shareholders with
registered addresses outside New Zealand and Australia who are not
2
eligible to participate in the Offer, their percentage shareholdings will be
diluted as a result of the Offer, but it is not expected that the resulting
dilution will have any material effect on the control of Gentrack;
(iii) if no eligible shareholders took up their entitlements under the Offer, the
maximum shortfall would be approximately 17.3% of existing Gentrack
shares (pre-Offer). It is expected that any shortfall would be allocated to a
number of parties through the underwriting arrangements, such that the
allocation should have no material effect on the control of Gentrack; and
(iv) Gentrack has not sought a waiver from NZX Main Board Listing Rule 7.5
(regulating issues of shares which could affect the effective control of
Gentrack), and the Takeovers Code will also prevent any person holding or
controlling 20% of more of the voting securities in Gentrack as a result of
the Offer.
