Seeka announces capital raising to provide Balance Sheet Flexibility and

pursue its Growth Strategy

Capital raising

Seeka Limited [NZX:SEK] has today announced a new capital raising strategy to

be implemented over the course of the next 3 years, including a Rights Issue,

an issuance of shares under a new Grower Share Scheme and an issuance of

shares under Seeka’s existing Employee Share Ownership Scheme.

The purpose of this capital raising strategy is to strengthen its balance sheet

and provide Seeka with the financial flexibility and freedom to pursue its

growth strategy of becoming New Zealand’s leading orchard-to-market

business.

The first step is for Seeka to undertake a fully underwritten pro rata

renounceable Rights Offer commencing on 21 November 2018 and closing on 7

December 2018.

This Rights Offer:

• Seeks to raise approximately NZ$50 million of new equity via a pro rata 1

for 1.5 Rights Offer at NZ$4.25 per share (fully underwritten by First NZ

Capital Group Limited).

• Includes a bookbuild to be undertaken at the end of the Rights Offer

period for any shortfall. As a consequence, shareholders not taking up all

of their rights (including ineligible shareholders) may receive value for

their rights not taken up.

Seeka also announces its intention to introduce a new Grower Share Scheme

and Employee Share Scheme in the first quarter of 2019 to further align the

interests of Seeka, its employees and grower suppliers (many of whom are

shareholders).



Chairman of Seeka, Fred Hutchings, said: “We are excited about Seeka’s plans

for growth and our continual pursuit towards being New Zealand’s leading

orchard-to-market business. Seeka will use the capital raised to strengthen our

balance sheet, repay bank debt, undertake planned capital expenditure and

give us greater financial flexibility and freedom to deliver better value for our

shareholders.”

Seeka intends to target net debt to normalised LTM EBITDA

1

of 1.5x – 2.5x by

the end of 2019, noting the requirement for flexibility from time to time given

Seeka’s seasonal investment cycle and the timeframe required for Seeka to

implement and complete its capital raising strategy as noted above.

Further sales of the Northland orchard portfolio are expected to take place in

the next twelve months, which together with other initiatives will further

reduce net debt during the 2019 financial year.

Earnings Targets

For FY2018, Seeka confirms its previous guidance of EBITDA of $24.0m to

$25.0m, and NPAT of $6.5m to $7.2m on the basis set out in previous releases.

For FY2019, Seeka is targeting EBITDA of $27.5 million to $28.5 million,

assuming:

• Expected increases in kiwifruit volumes in 2019 (in particular gold

kiwifruit).

• Normal operating conditions across Australia and New Zealand.

• Any material change in guidance will be advised to the market through

NZX.

In FY2019, Seeka expects to undertake approximately $32 million

2

of capital

expenditure, which includes development of the Kerikeri and Oakside sites to

improve capacity efficiency, development of long term lease orchards and

maintenance capital expenditure.


1

Long Term Maintainable Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation.

2

FY19 Capital expenditure is based on investment in capacity at the Company’s KeriKeri and Oakside -Te Puke

facilities along with an allowance for normal capital maintenance expenditure and $6m for long term lease

orchard development.



Rights Offer and Bookbuild

Under the Rights Offer, eligible shareholders are entitled (but not obliged) to

subscribe for 1 new share for every 1.5 existing shares held as at 5.00 pm on

the record date of 20 November 2018, at an issue price of $4.25 per new

share. This represents a 25.4% discount to the closing share price on the NZX

on 9 November 2018 and a 17.0% discount to the theoretical ex-rights price

(TERP) of $5.12 per share, post the Rights Offer, based on the pre-

announcement close of $5.70.

Eligible shareholders may choose to take up all, some or none of their rights.

Any rights that are not taken up (including rights of ineligible shareholders) will

be offered for sale through a bookbuild at the end of the Rights Offer period.

Eligible retail shareholders that have taken up all of their rights will have the

opportunity to participate in this bookbuild alongside institutional investors.

Rights will not be quoted on the NZX Main Board - there will be no licensed

market on which shareholders can sell their rights.

Full details of the Offer will be sent to eligible shareholders. Information on the

Offer, including the Offer Document released on the NZX market

announcement platform today, are available on Seeka’s website

www.seeka.co.nz/nzx-announcements or on the NZX by searching Seeka’s

stock code (SEK) at www.nzx.com/companies/SEK.

Entitlements under the Rights Offer will not be scaled up to a minimum

holding. Entitlements to fractions of new shares will be rounded down to the

nearest whole number. Existing NZ Shareholders will have a preferential

position in the bookbuild should they wish to subscribe for more shares than

their entitlement under the Rights Offer.

Key Dates for the Rights Offer

The record date for determining the entitlements to participate in the Rights

Offer is 5.00pm on 20 November 2018. Seeka shares will trade ex-rights from

19 November 2018.

Other key dates (which are subject to change) are as follows:

• Announcement: 12 November 2018



• Seeka shares trade ex-rights from 19 November 2018

• Record date for rights issue: 5.00pm on 20 November 2018

• Dispatch of Rights Offer to Shareholders: 21 November 2018

• Opening Date of Rights Offer: 21 November 2018

• Closing Date of Rights Offer: 5.00pm on 7 December 2018

• Shortfall Bookbuild: 11 December 2018

• Allotment Date: 14 December 2018

• Payment of any premium achieved in the Bookbuild: By 17 December

2018

Shareholders should consult their broker, solicitor, accountant, financial

adviser, or other professional adviser with any questions about the Rights

Offer and the capital raising strategy generally.

Seeka has appointed First NZ Capital Securities Limited as lead manager of the

capital raising, with the Offer fully underwritten by First NZ Capital Group

Limited. Harmos Horton Lusk Limited has provided legal advice.

New Grower Share Scheme

Following the initial Rights Offer capital raising, Seeka intends to introduce a

new Grower Share Scheme (GSS) to further align its interests with those of its

grower suppliers. Up to 2,600,000 shares in aggregate will be issued for the

benefit of growers who choose to participate in the GSS. The GSS requires

shareholder approval, which will be sought at a shareholder meeting intended

to be held in March 2019.

A summary of the proposed key terms of the GSS are set out below:

• Offers to participate in the GSS will only be made to growers who are

the registered owners of kiwifruit, kiwiberry or avocado orchards as

determined by the Board.

• The shares will be issued to a scheme trustee with full dividend and

voting rights at a price to be determined by Seeka and will be held on a

Grower’s behalf for 3 years.

• Growers will beneficially own the shares from the issue date (but will not

be able to transfer or encumber their beneficial interest in the shares).



• The issue price of the shares will be funded by limited recourse loans

from Seeka to the scheme trustee (on the Growers’ behalf). The loan will

be interest free and repayable only if the Grower elects to acquire the

shares at the end of the 3-year period. During that 3-year period, any

dividends paid by Seeka on the shares will be applied towards

repayment of the loan.

• At the end of the 3 year period, the Grower will be transferred the

shares provided:

o the Grower has supplied all fruit from the orchard(s) registered for

the GSS to Seeka;

o the Grower makes an election to acquire the shares by the

relevant due date; and

o the Grower pays off the balance of the loan.

• If the Grower fails to supply all fruit from their registered orchard(s) or

pay off the balance of the loan, the Grower will forfeit the shares being

held by the scheme trustee on its behalf.

• The Grower will not be obliged to supply fruit or repay the loan. The only

consequence of not doing so will be that the Grower does not get the

shares.

• If the Grower’s orchard(s) are sold, the Seller will be able to continue to

participate in the GSS but must:

o notify Seeka of the sale and the name(s) of the new owner(s); and

o ensure the new owner(s) continues to supply all fruit from the

orchard(s) to Seeka, otherwise the Grower will not be entitled to

acquire the shares at the end of the 3-year period.

Employee Share Ownership Scheme

In 2019 Seeka also intends to issue Shares to employees under the existing

Employee Share Ownership Scheme (ESS) to further align its interests with

employees. An expected maximum of 700,000 shares in aggregate will be

issued for the benefit of employees who are offered the option to participate

in the ESS and that elect to do so. Offers to participate in the ESS will be made

in accordance with the terms of Seeka’s existing ESS and will not require

shareholder approval. Further details about the intended issue of shares

under the ESS shall be released in 2019.




Ends.

Dear Seeka Shareholder,

Seeka’s Pro Rata Rights Offer

New capital raising initiative

Seeka has announced a new capital raising initiative that will be implemented over the course of the next three years that will

allow Seeka to pursue its strategy of becoming New Zealand’s leading orchard-to-market business. The new capital raising

initiative includes:

– a fully underwritten pro rata rights offer to raise approximately $50 million of new equity for the company;

– new share issuances under a new grower share scheme, expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2019, issuing up to

2,600,000 new shares; and

– further new share issuances under Seeka’s existing employee share ownership scheme, issuing up to an expected maximum of

700,000 new shares.

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to invite you to participate in this Offer.

The Offer

This Offer provides an opportunity for you to increase the number of Shares you hold in Seeka and to take advantage of the

discount at which New Shares will be issued under the Offer.

The Offer proceeds will be used to strengthen Seeka’s balance sheet, repay bank debt, undertake planned capital expenditure

and provide the company with the financial flexibility to further pursue its strategy of becoming New Zealand’s leading

orchard-to-market business.

Seeka is an international fresh produce business. Through its four main operating divisions (Orchards, Post-Harvest, Retail

Services and Australia), Seeka grows, processes and markets fruit in New Zealand and Australia. Seeka is the largest grower of

kiwifruit in New Zealand and is Australia’s largest grower of kiwifruit and nashi.

With the burgeoning kiwifruit industry in New Zealand

1

, Seeka will continue to invest capital into its coolstores and packhouses,

increasing kiwifruit processing capacity, incorporating automated post harvest technology and advanced information systems,

and so positioning itself well for further growth in New Zealand and Australia.

Beyond kiwifruit, Seeka also has a diversified offering of other fruits. Avocados in particular represent a high-growth emerging

market, with the export value of New Zealand’s avocados nearly doubling over the last 5 years

2

. Delivering a full orchard-to-

market service, Seeka’s avocado volumes have increased through orchard syndication, and Seeka has positioned itself to benefit

from higher avocado volumes with three packhouses capable of handling avocados.

The Board and management consider it sensible at this time to undertake the capital raising to recapitalise the balance sheet and

provide Seeka with the financial flexibility to further execute its growth strategy.

CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

[1] New Zealand is one of the fastest growing kiwifruit exporters in the world, its net kiwifruit export surplus having increased by 79.4%

from 2013-2017 (World Top Exports, July 2018).

[2] New Zealand Avocado Annual Report, 2018.

shareholders the opportunity to participate in the bookbuild. Existing New Zealand shareholders will have a preferential position

in the bookbuild should they wish to subscribe for more shares than their entitlement under the rights issue.

price exceeds the Issue Price.

The Offer is fully underwritten by First NZ Capital Group Limited.

YOU HAVE UNTIL 5.00PM (NZ TIME) ON 7 DECEMBER 2018 TO SUBSCRIBE FOR NEW SHARES.

Applications must be made (together with payment) either via:

Yours sincerely,

Fred Hutchings

What is the Shortfall Bookbuild?This is a separate process that takes place after the Rights Offer that deals with any

to Ineligible Shareholders). Any Rights not taken up will be sold under this process

which will be conducted by the Lead Manager.

Shortfall Bookbuild?

Eligible Shareholders who have taken up all of their Rights have the opportunity to

participate in the Shortfall Bookbuild, alongside Institutional Investors, and apply for

additional New Shares over and above their entitlement to New Shares under the

Rights Offer.

How do I participate in the Shortfall

Bookbuild?

To participate in the Shortfall Bookbuild you must:

(a) take up your Rights in full (Part A of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form);

and

(b) apply for New Shares under the Shortfall Bookbuild by specifying the dollar

value of New Shares that you wish to apply for (Part B of the Entitlement and

Acceptance Form).

expected to be completed by 12 December 2018.

How much will I pay for New Shares

under the Shortfall Bookbuild?

You will pay the Bookbuild Price for any additional New Shares that you are allocated

under the Shortfall Bookbuild.

How do I sell my Rights?Eligible Shareholders may sell some or all of their Rights by completing the relevant

section of their Entitlement and Acceptance Form and ensuring the purchaser

returns it to the Registrar together with payment.

However, the Rights will not be quoted on the NZX Main Board and there will be no

licensed market on which Shareholders may sell their Rights. Accordingly, there may

be no market for the Rights and it may be difficult to find a purchaser for any Rights.

If you do nothing with some or all of your Rights you may still receive value for those

Rights if a Premium is payable under the Shortfall Bookbuild.

How do I pay for my New Shares?You are able to pay for your New Shares by way of cheque or direct debit.

If you are applying for additional New Shares in the Shortfall Bookbuild, you will be

required to make full payment at the time of application. If any scaling is applied to

the application, a refund (without interest) of any extra Application Monies will be

processed within five Business Days of the allotment of the New Shares.

Offer

The maximum number of New Shares being offered under

the Offer is 11,726,988 (subject to rounding). The maximum

amount to be raised under the Offer is approximately

$50 million. The Offer comprises the Rights Offer and the

Shortfall Bookbuild.

Rights Offer

The Rights Offer is a pro rata offer of New Shares. Eligible

Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for

every 1.5 Existing Shares held at 5.00pm on the Record Date,

at the Application Price of $4.25 per New Share (payable

in full on application). You are not required to pay for the

Rights, only for the New Shares which will be issued to you if

you choose to take up all or some of your Rights.

The Rights will not be quoted on the NZX Main Board. If

you are an Eligible Shareholder you may take up all or some

of your Rights, transfer all or some of your Rights, or do

nothing with all or some of your Rights. If you are an Eligible

Shareholder and you do not take up all of your Rights, or you

transfer some or all of your Rights, your current shareholding

will be diluted as a result of the issue of New Shares under

the Offer.

If you take up your Rights in full, you may also apply for

additional New Shares, by specifying a New Zealand dollar

amount of New Shares for which you wish to apply in your

Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

The Rights Offer opens for receipt of acceptances on

21 November 2018 and closes at 5.00pm on 7 December

2018 (subject to Seeka’s right to modify these dates). The

timetable for the Rights Offer is set out in Section 2.

Eligibility

The Rights Offer is only open to Eligible Shareholders and

persons that Seeka is satisfied can otherwise participate in

the Rights Offer in compliance with all applicable laws. You

are an Eligible Shareholder if you are recorded on Seeka’s

register as a Shareholder at 5.00pm on the Record Date

with:

– a registered address in New Zealand; or

– a registered address in Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore

and Japan, provided you are an Institutional Investor,

SECTION 4

DETAILS OF THE OFFER

and you are not in the United States and are not acting for

the account or benefit of a person in the United States.

Seeka considers that the legal requirements of jurisdictions

other than New Zealand, Australia, Hong Kong, Singapore,

and Japan are such that it would be unduly onerous for

Seeka to make the Rights Offer in those jurisdictions. This

decision was made having regard to the small number of

Shareholders in such overseas jurisdictions and the costs of

complying with overseas legal requirements.

This Offer Document is not to be sent or given to any person

outside New Zealand in circumstances in which the Offer

or distribution of this Offer Document would be unlawful.

The distribution of this Offer Document (including an

electronic copy) outside New Zealand may be restricted by

law. If you come into possession of this Offer Document,

you should observe any such restrictions and seek your own

advice on such restrictions. Any failure to comply with such

restrictions may contravene applicable securities law. Seeka

disclaims all liability to such persons.

Seeka reserves the right to determine whether you or any

other Shareholder is eligible to participate in the Rights

Offer, and to reject any application that it considers has been

made by an Ineligible Shareholder.

If you are an Ineligible Shareholder, your Rights (being the

number of New Shares to which you would have been

entitled to subscribe for if you were an Eligible Shareholder)

will be Unexercised Rights and the New Shares attributable

to those Unexercised Rights will be offered in the Shortfall

Bookbuild. If the Bookbuild Price exceeds the Application

Price, the excess (called the Premium) will be paid to you

in the same manner as the holders of the other Unexercised

Rights in proportion to your holding of Unexercised Rights.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you take up your

Rights in full, you may also apply for additional New Shares

under the Shortfall Bookbuild by specifying in Section B

of your Entitlement and Acceptance Form a New Zealand

dollar amount of New Shares that you wish to apply for

under the Shortfall Bookbuild.

Japan

The Rights and the New Shares have not been and will not

be registered under Article 4, paragraph 1 of the Financial

Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan (Law No. 25 of

1948), as amended (the “FIEL”) pursuant to an exemption

from the registration requirements applicable to a private

placement of securities to Qualified Institutional Investors

(as defined in and in accordance with Article 2, paragraph

3 of the FIEL and the regulations promulgated thereunder).

Accordingly, the Rights and the New Shares may not be

offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to, or for

the benefit of, any resident of Japan other than Qualified

Institutional Investors. Any Qualified Institutional Investor

who acquires Rights or New Shares may not resell them

to any person in Japan that is not a Qualified Institutional

Investor, and acquisition by any such person of Rights

or New Shares is conditional upon the execution of an

agreement to that effect.

Entitlement

The number of Rights (and therefore New Shares) to which

you are entitled under the Rights Offer is recorded on

the personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form that

accompanies this Offer Document. Entitlements are not

scaled up to a minimum holding. Entitlements to fractions

of New Shares will be rounded down to the nearest whole

number.

You are not obliged to subscribe for any or all of the New

Shares to which you are entitled under the Rights Offer.

Applications

Instructions on how to apply under the Rights Offer are set

out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. Applications

must be made online at www.seekashareoffer.com or on

the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Applications made on the Entitlement and Acceptance

Form, together with Application Monies for all of the

New Shares you have applied for, must be delivered (by

mail, personal delivery or courier) in accordance with the

instructions set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Shareholders paying by direct debit can scan and email or

fax their completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form to the

Registrar. Your application may also be lodged with any NZX

Primary Market Participant, but you must ensure that you

deliver your completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form in

time to enable it to be forwarded to the Registrar before the

Closing Date.

Seeka may choose to accept late applications, but has no

obligation to do so. Seeka may accept or reject any online

application or Entitlement and Acceptance Form which it

considers is not completed correctly or if the accompanying

payment is for the wrong amount, and may correct any

errors or omissions on any online application or Entitlement

and Acceptance Form. Applicants will not however be

treated as having offered to purchase a greater number of

New Shares other than the number for which payment is

made.

If Seeka receives, on or before the Closing Date, a

renunciation and an acceptance in respect of the same

Right(s), the renunciation shall be given effect in priority to

the acceptance.

Withdrawal of Rights Offer

Seeka reserves the right to withdraw the Rights Offer at

any time before the allotment of New Shares, in which case

all Application Monies will be refunded (without interest)

by direct credit or cheque within five Business Days of

the Rights Offer being withdrawn. If the Rights Offer is

withdrawn before the allotment of New Shares all Rights will

lapse.

Shortfall Bookbuild

New Shares attributable to Unexercised Rights will be

offered to Eligible Shareholders who take up their Rights in

full and Institutional Investors, under the Shortfall Bookbuild.

If you do not take up your Rights under the Rights Offer, or

are not able to because you are an Ineligible Shareholder, the

New Shares attributable to your Unexercised Rights will be

offered for sale in the Shortfall Bookbuild.

The Lead Manager will manage the Shortfall Bookbuild on

behalf of Seeka. The Shortfall Bookbuild is expected to be

completed by 12 December 2018.

Eligibility

The Shortfall Bookbuild is only open to you if you are:

16OFFER DOCUMENT | SEEKA LIMITED
– an Eligible Shareholder that has taken up all of your Rights;

or

– an Institutional Investor.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder (other than an Institutional

Investor) and you do not take up all of your Rights, then you

will not be eligible to participate in the Shortfall Bookbuild

and your application for any additional New Shares under

the Shortfall Bookbuild will be disregarded.

Bookbuild Process

Eligible Shareholders that take up all of their Rights can

apply for additional New Shares by specifying and paying

the New Zealand dollar amount of New Shares for which

they wish to apply at the time they complete and return the

Entitlement and Acceptance Form to exercise their Rights.

The price at which the additional New Shares will be issued

under the Shortfall Bookbuild is the Bookbuild Price, to be set

as described below.

All Eligible Shareholders that wish to apply for New Shares

as part of the Shortfall Bookbuild must do so in New Zealand

dollars.

Institutional Investors participating in the Shortfall Bookbuild

will bid for the New Shares attributable to the Unexercised

Rights. The minimum bid that they may submit for a New

Share under the Shortfall Bookbuild is the Application Price

of $4.25 per New Share and this amount is payable to

Seeka. If the Bookbuild Price exceeds the Application Price,

the excess (called the Premium) will be paid to the holders

of the relevant Unexercised Rights in proportion to their

respective holdings of Unexercised Rights.

The Bookbuild Price will be determined by the Board and the

Lead Manager. The Bookbuild Price will be:

– no less than the Application Price; and

– no more than the closing price on the NZX Main Board for

an Existing Share as at the close of trading on the day prior

to the Shortfall Bookbuild (unless the closing price is less

than the Application Price, in which case the Bookbuild

Price will be the Application Price).

Seeka will announce the Bookbuild Price to NZX upon

completion of the Shortfall Bookbuild, which is expected to

be completed by 12 December 2018.

The proceeds from each New Share issued under the

Shortfall Bookbuild (if any) will be paid by the Registrar as

follows:

– $4.25 to Seeka; and

– the Premium (if any) to the holders of the Unexercised

Rights in proportion to their holdings of Unexercised

Rights.

Example

This example assumes that there is demand for all of the

New Shares available under the Shortfall Bookbuild, that the

Bookbuild Price exceeds the Application Price and that the

closing price on the NZX Main Board for an Existing Share on

the day prior to the Shortfall Bookbuild is not less than $4.50.

Per Share

Application Price $4.25

Bookbuild Price $4.50

Premium $0.25

In this example, a Shareholder who holds 10,000 Existing

Shares at 5.00pm on the Record Date and is either an

Ineligible Shareholder or is an Eligible Shareholder who

chooses not to take up or sell their Rights will have 6,666

Unexercised Rights. That Shareholder would receive

$1,666.50 in aggregate for their Unexercised Rights in the

Shortfall Bookbuild, being the Premium of $0.25 multiplied

by the number of Unexercised Rights held by him or her.

The above is an example only. There is no guarantee that the

Bookbuild Price will exceed the Application Price.

If the Bookbuild Price is equal to the Application Price there

will be no Premium payable to the holders of Unexercised

Rights.

If the Shortfall Bookbuild does not clear the New Shares,

the Underwriter will subscribe for any of those New Shares

remaining after the Shortfall Bookbuild at the Application

Price.

Bookbuild Allocation Policy

Allocations and any necessary scaling of applications for

New Shares under the Shortfall Bookbuild will be determined

by Seeka in its discretion in consultation with the Lead

17SEEKA LIMITED | OFFER DOCUMENT
Manager. There is no guarantee that Eligible Shareholders

will receive any or all the additional New Shares for which

they apply under the Shortfall Bookbuild.

Once the Bookbuild Price has been determined, the

Application Monies in respect of any applications for

New Shares through the Shortfall Bookbuild by Eligible

Shareholders will be divided by the Bookbuild Price to

calculate the number of New Shares that those Eligible

Shareholders have applied for (subject to scaling),

rounded down to the nearest whole number. Any refunds

of Application Monies due to scaling of applications

or applications not being accepted under the Shortfall

Bookbuild will be made within five business days (as defined

in the Listing Rules) of allotment of New Shares (without

interest). Excess Application Monies equal to or less than

$2.00 will be for the benefit of, and be the property of, Seeka

and will be retained by Seeka.

Applications

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you take up all your

Rights, you can apply for New Shares under the Shortfall

Bookbuild by specifying in your application the dollar

amount of New Shares you wish to apply for under the

Shortfall Bookbuild. Applications can be made online at

www.seekashareoffer.com from 21 November 2018 or by

completing Section B of the Entitlement and Acceptance

Form and returning it to the Registrar together with the

Application Monies for all the New Shares you have applied

for under the Offer. Payment must be made for your Rights

and the New Zealand dollar amount of the New Shares that

you are applying for under the Shortfall Bookbuild.

All other Institutional Investors who wish to participate in

the Shortfall Bookbuild should contact the Lead Manager.

Payment to Holders

The Premium (if any) on any New Shares issued under the

Shortfall Bookbuild will be paid by the Registrar in New

Zealand dollars to holders of Unexercised Rights as follows:

– in accordance with the direct credit payment instructions

provided by the Shareholder to Seeka for the purposes of

Seeka dividends; and

– otherwise, by cheque sent by ordinary post to their

address as recorded in Seeka’s share register.

No interest will be paid in respect of any Premium payable.

Payment (if any) is expected to be made by 17 December

2018.

Cancellation of Shortfall Bookbuild

Seeka reserves the right to cancel the Shortfall Bookbuild

at any time prior to allotment of New Shares under the

Shortfall Bookbuild.

New Zealand Tax Treatment of Premium

The following is a summary of New Zealand tax implications

in relation to the Premium which may be payable under

the Shortfall Bookbuild. This summary is general

information only, is not tax advice to any person and is

limited to the Shortfall Bookbuild and not the taxation

implications of holding Existing Shares or New Shares,

or any tax implications for Shareholders outside New

Zealand.

Any Premium payable to Shareholders in respect of

Unexercised Rights will not be a dividend for New Zealand

tax purposes. Therefore, any such Premium will generally

not be taxable to Shareholders. However, the Premium

may be taxable if a Shareholder holds its Existing Shares

on revenue account. A Shareholder will hold Existing Shares

on revenue account if the Shareholder acquired those

Shares for the purposes of selling them or if the Shareholder

is in the business of dealing in shares. As Shareholders’

individual circumstances will differ, Shareholders should

consult a tax adviser on the taxation treatment of any

Premium.

Important Information

The ability to sell New Shares in the Shortfall Bookbuild

and the price obtained for them are dependent on various

factors, including market conditions. There is no guarantee

that the price obtained for the New Shares in the Shortfall

Bookbuild will be greater than the Application Price, or that

the holders of Unexercised Rights will receive any value for

those Unexercised Rights.

The Lead Manager, Underwriter and Seeka and their

respective agents and affiliates will not be liable to any

person for any failure to sell New Shares or to procure a

Premium under the Shortfall Bookbuild.

Rules, and are expected to be mailed by no later than

19 December 2018.

The New Shares will, from the date they are issued, be fully

paid and rank equally with all Existing Shares on issue. Each

Share entitles the Shareholder to:

– one vote on a poll at a meeting of Shareholders;

– participate on a pro rata basis in any dividends declared

by Seeka;

– participate on a pro rata basis in any distribution on the

liquidation of Seeka;

– be sent reports, notices of meeting and other information

Dividend Policy

Seeka’s dividend policy is to declare dividends at a rate of

up to 75% of net profit after tax in conjunction with the

release of Seeka’s half year and full year results. Payment of

dividends is proposed to be in March and September each

year.

Each dividend will be determined by the Board after due

consideration of the capital requirements, operating

performance, financial position, debt levels, and cash flows

of the Group at the time.

The Board reserves the right to amend the dividend policy at

any time.

NZX Main Board Quotation

Rights will not be quoted on the NZX Main Board.

It is a term of the Offer that Seeka will take any necessary

steps to ensure that the New Shares are, immediately after

their issue, quoted on the NZX Main Board. The New Shares

have been accepted for quotation by NZX and will be quoted

on the NZX Main Board upon completion of allotment

procedures under the ticker code “SEK”.

NZX Main Board is a licensed market operated by NZX,

a licensed market operator, regulated under the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013.

Offer Document.

Application Monies and Refunds

All Application Monies will be held in a trust account by

the Registrar until the corresponding New Shares are

allotted or the Application Monies are refunded. Interest

takes place under the Offer. Any refunds of Application

Monies will be made by direct credit or cheque. Direct

credit payments will be made, and cheques sent, within

five Business Days of allotment of the New Shares, or if a

decision is made not to proceed with the Offers, within

five Business Days of that decision. Excess Application

Monies equal to or less than $2.00 will be for the benefit

of, and be the property of, Seeka and will be retained by

Seeka.

Effect of the Offer on the Capital Structure of Seeka

Seeka presently has 17,590,482 Shares on issue.

Based on the number of Existing Shares on issue, if all Rights

are taken up under the Rights Offer, sold under the Shortfall

Bookbuild process, or taken up by the Underwriter Seeka

will issue 11,726,988 New Shares (subject to rounding). This

represents 66.67% of the total number of Shares presently

on issue. The number of Shares on issue after the Offer will

increase to 29,317,470 Shares (subject to rounding).

Oversubscriptions

There is no oversubscription facility available. If you wish

to acquire more New Shares than your entitlement to

New Shares under the Rights Offer, you should apply for

additional New Shares through the Shortfall Bookbuild by

completing Section B of your Entitlement and Acceptance

Form and paying the Application Monies for those additional

New Shares.

Seeka’s Discretion to refuse Applications

Seeka reserves the right to refuse any application for New

Shares, or issue to you fewer New Shares than were applied

for by you, including if Seeka considers the issue of New

Shares to you under the Offer may result in a breach of law

by Seeka, by you or by any other person, or where it may

cause Seeka to be an “overseas person” for the purposes

of the Overseas Investment Act 2005. Seeka also reserves

the right to determine who may participate in the Shortfall

Bookbuild in consultation with the Lead Manager and

may decline applications for New Shares by any Eligible
