LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
20 February 2019
Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the directors of Precinct, I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in our Retail Share Offer. Eligible
Shareholders have the opportunity to acquire additional Shares for an Issue Price of $1.48 without incurring brokerage or other
transaction costs.
The Retail Share Offer is part of Precinct’s equity raising initiative announced on 19 February 2019, details of which can be found at
www.nzx.com under the ticker “PCT”. Precinct is raising $20 million through the Retail Share Offer (with the ability to accept
oversubscriptions of up to $10 million at its discretion), which will be in addition to the $130 million already raised by Precinct under the
Placement.
The board acknowledges that while the equity raising is not structured as a rights offer, the structure is fair for all our existing
shareholders. All shareholders (unless restricted due to legal constraints) will be able to participate fairly in the equity raising through
either the Placement or Retail Share Offer and should scaling be required, it will be done in reference to existing shareholder holdings.
This structure of offer provides Precinct greater execution certainty and reduced transaction costs compared with a rights offer.
Capital raise to strengthen Precinct’s balance sheet through continuing transformation
Precinct's 20:20 strategy is to transform the business through key developments, continued commitment to sell non-core assets and
significant uplift in portfolio quality. We have successfully progressed this strategy over the last four years with:
• key development milestones achieved including the completion of Wynyard Quarter Stage One, and Charles Fergusson Building;
• construction well underway at Bowen State Building in Wellington and Commercial Bay in Auckland, with both expected to
complete within the next year;
• the commitment to the Wynyard Stage Two and the One Queen Street developments;
• the divestment of SAP Tower, 80 The Terrace and half of the ANZ Centre;
• the weighted average lease term increasing to 8.5 years (2012: 5.9 years);
• the average age of the portfolio reducing to 12 years (2012: 21.0 years); and
• net annual dividend expected to increase to 6.00 cps in 2019 (5.04 cps in 2012).
Looking forward, we continue to have a clear strategy to achieve growth for our shareholders and enhance our business by
transforming the portfolio into a higher quality set of assets. Our development pipeline includes our committed projects; One Queen
Street and Wynyard Quarter Stage 2, and our future opportunities; Bowen Campus Stage Two and Wynyard Stages 3 and 4. These
future developments provide us with significant further value accretive growth opportunities with an estimated aggregate spend of
$300+ million between 2020 and 2022. Precinct’s intention to raise $150 million of equity through the underwritten Placement and this
Retail Share Offer will allow Precinct to repay bank debt and further supports our future development opportunities by providing
additional funding capacity.
Retail Share Offer
The Retail Share Offer is available to all shareholders in New Zealand. It gives all Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to invest up to
$50,000 in New Shares in Precinct. The Issue Price per Share is $1.48 – the same price as Shares issued to investors under the Placement.
The Retail Share Offer (excluding the discretionary oversubscription amount) is underwritten by First NZ Capital Group Limited and
Credit Suisse (Australia) Limited.
All shares issued pursuant to the equity offer will qualify for Precinct’s second-quarter dividend of 1.50 cps (plus imputation credits)
which will be paid on 27 March 2019.
After reading the accompanying Offer Document, the Board encourages you to seek financial, investment, or other professional
advice from a qualified professional advisor and that you take your time to consider this Offer. Additional information can be found at
www.shareoffer.co.nz/precinct and in the investment presentation we have released to NZX.
On behalf of the Board, I welcome your participation in this Offer.
Best wishes

ARE THERE ANY CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER?
No. However, if Precinct cancels the Offer for any reason, all
application monies will be returned to applicants and no New
Shares will be allotted under the Offer. No interest will be
payable on any monies returned to applicants.
WHAT IF I OWN SHARES THROUGH A TRUSTEE OR
CUSTODIAN OR OWN SHARES IN MORE THAN ONE
CAPACITY?
If you own Shares through a trustee or Custodian, then, subject
to certain certification requirements and other conditions, you
may instruct the trustee or Custodian to purchase New Shares on
your behalf. If you own Shares through a trustee or Custodian
and also own Shares in your own name, then you may either
purchase New Shares yourself or instruct your trustee or
Custodian to purchase New Shares on your behalf. You may not
do both.
If you are a Custodian, or hold shares through a Custodian,
please refer to clause 3 of the terms and conditions.
IS THIS OFFER TRANSFERABLE TO ANOTHER PERSON?
No. This offer is personal to you and you may not transfer your
right to purchase New Shares under the Offer to anyone else.
WILL THE NEW SHARES BE QUOTED?
Yes, the New Shares will be quoted on the NZX Main Board.
Precinct will take any necessary steps to ensure that the New
Shares are, immediately after issue, quoted on the NZX Main
Board. The NZX Main Board is a licensed market operated by NZX
Limited which is a licensed market operator regulated under the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. NZX accepts no
responsibility for any statements in this document.
It is expected that you will be able to commence trading the
New Shares allotted to you under the Offer on the NZX Main
Board on the Allotment Date (being 11 March 2019, unless
extended).
IF I CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OFFER WILL MY
SHAREHOLDING BE DILUTED?
If you do not participate in the Offer, your shareholding in
Precinct will be diluted. For example, a shareholder holding 5.0%
of the issued Shares in Precinct before the Offer who does not
participate in the Offer will own approximately 4.6% of the issued
Shares in Precinct after the Offer (after taking into account the
$130 million new shares issued under the Placement and
assuming the amount to be raised in the Offer of $20 million (i.e.
excluding any oversubscriptions) is fully subscribed and the New
Shares are issued at $1.48 per New Share).
The Application Form details the approximate amount of shares
that you can apply for to maintain your same percentage
holding taking into account the Placement and assuming that
$150 million is raised in total across the Placement and the Offer.
While Precinct has attempted to make the Offer as fair as
possible for Eligible Shareholders by increasing the individual
application cap from the typical $15,000 to $50,000 and with any
scaling to be in reference to individual shareholdings, the Offer is
not a pro-rata offer and even if you participate in the Offer, your
shareholding percentage in Precinct may change. Whether your
shareholding in Precinct increases or decreases will depend on
the amount of New Shares you apply for, how many Shares you
hold on the Record Date and Closing Date and how many New
Shares other Eligible Shareholders apply for and are allotted
under the Offer.
WHAT IS PRECINCT’S DIVIDEND POLICY?
Precinct’s dividend policy is to pay out approximately 90% of net
operating income after tax as dividends, with the retained
earnings being used to fund the capital expenditure required to
maintain the quality of Precinct’s property portfolio.
The Board considers the dividend policy represents a more
sustainable approach to maximising long term returns for
Precinct’s shareholders. The payment of dividends is not
guaranteed by Precinct and Precinct’s dividend policy may
change from time to time.
The New Shares issued under the Offer qualify for Precinct’s
second-quarter dividend, which is expected to be paid on
27 March 2019.
WHY ARE NOT ALL SHAREHOLDERS ELIGIBLE TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE OFFER?
Precinct considers that the legal requirements of jurisdictions
other than New Zealand are such that it would be unduly
onerous for Precinct to make the 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.
UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
The Offer (excluding the discretionary oversubscription amount)
is underwritten by First NZ Capital Group Limited and Credit Suisse
(Australia) Limited (together, the "Underwriters"). This means that
the Underwriters will subscribe at the Issue Price for any New
Shares that are not taken up by Eligible Shareholders under the
Offer in accordance with the terms of the Underwriting
Agreement.
FURTHER ASSISTANCE
If you have any further questions about the Offer, please contact
your broker or financial, investment or other professional advisor
before making your investment decision.
