This Final Terms Sheet sets out the key terms of the offer (“Offer”) by Summerset Group Holdings Limited
(“Summerset”) of $125,000,000 guaranteed, secured, unsubordinated fixed rate bonds maturing on
24 September 2025 (“Bonds”) under its master trust deed dated 30 May 2017 (as amended from time to
time) (“Trust Deed”) as modified and supplemented by a supplemental trust deed dated 10 September
2018 (as amended on 14 September 2018) (together, “Trust Documents”) entered into between
Summerset and The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited (“Supervisor”). Unless the context
otherwise requires, capitalised terms used in this Final Terms Sheet have the same meaning given to
them in the Trust Documents.
Investors should refer to the Trust Documents for the full terms of the Bonds.
Important Notice
The offer of debt securities by Summerset is made in reliance upon the exclusion in clause 19 of
schedule 1 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (“FMCA”).
The offer contained in this Final Terms Sheet is an offer of bonds that have identical rights,
privileges, limitations and conditions (except for the interest rate and maturity date) as Summerset’s
bonds maturing on 11 July 2023, which have a fixed interest rate of 4.78% per annum and are currently
quoted on the NZX Debt Market under the ticker code SUM010 (the “Existing Bonds”).
Accordingly, the Bonds are the same class as the Existing Bonds for the purposes of the FMCA and
the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014.
Summerset 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. That information can be found by visiting www.nzx.com/companies/SUM.
The Existing Bonds are the only debt securities of Summerset that are currently quoted and in the
same class as the Bonds.
Investors should look to the market price of the Existing Bonds referred to above to find out how the
market assesses the returns and risk premium for those bonds.
3Final Terms Sheet
Summerset Group Holdings Limited
Issuer
Summerset Group Holdings Limited (“Summerset”)
Instrument
Fixed rate, guaranteed, secured, unsubordinated bonds (“Bonds”)
Status
The Bonds will be issued under the Trust Documents described above.
Principal and interest amounts in respect of the Bonds will be direct, secured,
unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu with all other
unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, except indebtedness preferred by law.
Guarantors
Consistent with the Guarantors for Summerset’s bank facilities.
Holders will have the benefit of the following coverage ratios:
• Total Assets of the Guaranteeing Group must comprise at least 90% of the
Total Assets of the Summerset Group; and
• EBITDA of the Guaranteeing Group for each rolling 12 month period must
not be less than 90% of EBITDA of the Summerset Group for that period.
Purpose
The proceeds of the Offer will be used to repay a portion of existing drawn bank
debt and for general corporate purposes of the Summerset Group. The Offer
will provide diversification of funding sources and tenor for the Summerset
Group.
More broadly, the Summerset Group’s principal use of debt is to facilitate the
acquisition of land for development, the development and construction of
retirement villages, and to manage the timing of Occupation Right sales to
residents for developing and existing retirement villages.
Security
Holders will share the benefit of the same security package as Summerset’s
banks on a pro rata basis. The security is held by the Security Trustee.
The key securities that Summerset’s banks and Holders will have the benefit
of are:
• a second ranking mortgage over the land and permanent buildings of
each Village Registered Company, which are the entities that operate
Summerset’s registered retirement villages. This ranks behind a first
ranking mortgage in favour of Public Trust (as the Statutory Supervisor of
the relevant retirement village) securing amounts and obligations owing to
village residents; and
• a first ranking mortgage over land owned by other Summerset Group
companies (described as Non-Village Registered Companies), being
undeveloped land and land under development.
Key Terms of the Bonds
4Final Terms Sheet
Summerset Group Holdings Limited
Security
(continued)
The Statutory Supervisor is entitled to the proceeds of security enforcement
against all assets of the Village Registered Companies, in priority to
Summerset’s banks and Holders. Summerset’s banks and the Holders
(including Holders of the Existing Bonds) will share the remaining proceeds of
security enforcement against Village Registered Company assets to which the
Security Trustee is entitled on a pro rata basis.
Financial Covenant
LVR Covenant
Summerset will ensure, on each Test Date, that the ratio of:
a. Total Debt (which is effectively principal amounts outstanding under
Summerset’s bank facilities, bonds and any other secured facilities); to
b. Property Value of the Guaranteeing Group’s land and permanent buildings
that have been mortgaged to the Security Trustee,
is less than or equal to 50%.
A reported breach of the LVR Covenant in respect of a Test Date will be an
Event of Review. Summerset must then follow a process specified in the Trust
Deed to attempt to remedy the breach. If the breach has not been remedied at
the end of this process, an Event of Default occurs.
Distribution stopper
Guarantors are not permitted to make any Distributions to non-Guarantors
if an Event of Default or Event of Review is continuing.
