Who may apply
All of the Bonds are reserved for clients of the Joint Lead Managers, primary

NZX waivers
NZX has granted Auckland Airport a waiver from NZX Listing Rule 11.1.1, to
enable Auckland Airport to decline to accept or register a transfer of Bonds if
such transfer would result in the transferor holding or continuing to hold
Bonds with a principal amount of less than the applicable minimum principal
amount (or minimum multiple thereof). The effect of the waiver from NZX
Listing Rule 11.1.1 is that the minimum holding amount in respect of the
Bonds will be Bonds with an aggregate principal amount of not less than
NZ$10,000 and multiples of $1,000 over the minimum holding amount.
Auckland Airport may refuse a transfer if the transfer is not in multiples of
$1,000.
NZX has also granted Auckland Airport a waiver from NZX Listing Rule 5.2.3
to enable Auckland Airport to apply for quotation on the NZX Debt Market
even though the Bonds may not initially be held by at least 100 members of
the public holding at least 25% of the Bonds issued. The waiver has been
granted for a period of six-months from the quotation date of the Bonds. The
effect of the waiver from NZX Listing Rule 5.2.3 is that initially the Bonds may
not be widely held and there may be reduced liquidity in the Bonds. To the
extent that there is a material reduction in the spread of the Bonds, Auckland
Airport will notify NZX accordingly.
NZX has also granted Auckland Airport a waiver from NZX Listing Rule 7.11.1
to allow Auckland Airport to allot the Bonds no later than 10 business days
after the Closing Date. The effect of the waiver from NZX Listing Rule 7.11.1 is
that the Bonds will be allotted later than 5 business days after the
Closing Date.

offer of Bonds to the public, or possession or distribution of any offering
material, in any country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is
required (other than New Zealand).
By purchasing the Bonds, each bondholder is deemed to have
indemnified the Issuer, the Joint Lead Managers and Organising
Participant, and the Supervisor for any loss suffered by any of them
by reason of any breach of the selling restrictions.
United States of America
The Bonds have not been and will not be registered under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended (Securities Act) and may not be offered or
sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S.
persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act (Regulation
S)) except in accordance with Regulation S or pursuant to an exemption
from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of
the Securities Act.
None of Auckland Airport, any Joint Lead Manager nor any person acting
on its or their behalf has engaged or will engage in any directed selling
efforts (as defined in Regulation S) in relation to the Bonds, and each of
Auckland Airport and the Joint Lead Managers has complied and will
comply with the offering restrictions in Regulation S.
The Bonds will not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for
the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at
any time, or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the completion of the
distribution of all Bonds of the Tranche of which such Bonds are part,
as determined and certified by the Joint Lead Managers, except in
accordance with Rule 903 of Regulation S. Any Bonds sold to any
distributor, dealer or person receiving a selling concession, fee or other
remuneration during the distribution compliance period require a
confirmation or notice to the purchaser at or prior to the confirmation of
the sale to substantially the following effect:
“The Bonds covered hereby have not been registered under the United
States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the Securities Act) or
with any securities regulatory authority of any state or other jurisdiction
of the United States and may not be offered or sold within the United
States, or to or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined
in Regulation S under the Securities Act) (i) as part of their distribution
at any time or (ii) otherwise until 40 days after the later of the
commencement of the offering of the Bonds and the closing date
except in either case pursuant to a valid exemption from registration in
accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. Terms used
above have the meaning given to them by Regulation S.”
Until 40 days after the completion of the distribution of all Bonds of the
Tranche of which those Bonds are a part, an offer or sale of the Bonds
within the United States by the Joint Lead Managers or any dealer or
other distributor (whether or not participating in the offering) may violate
the registration requirements of the Securities Act if such offer or sale is
made otherwise than in accordance with Regulation S.
Relevant Member States of the European Economic Area
In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which
has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each, a Relevant Member
State), with effect from and including the date on which the Prospectus
Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the Relevant
Implementation Date) no Bonds have been offered and no Bonds will
be offered that are the subject of the offering contemplated by this Terms
Sheet in relation thereto to the public in that Relevant Member State

(b) to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified
investors as defined in the Prospectus Directive) subject to obtaining
the prior consent of the Joint Lead Managers nominated by Auckland

Directive,
provided that no such offer of the Bonds shall require Auckland Airport or

the Prospectus Directive or supplement a prospectus pursuant to Article
16 of the Prospectus Directive.

to the public in relation to any Bonds in any Relevant Member State
means the communication in any form and by any means of sufficient
information on the terms of the offer and the Bonds to be offered so as to
enable an investor to decide to purchase or subscribe for the Bonds, as
the same may be varied in that Relevant Member State by any measure
implementing the Prospectus Directive in that Relevant Member State,
