INVESTMENT THESIS
OPPORTUNISTIC & COMPLEMENTARY


–Savor Group is a tightly held private company, built for growth,

with excellent management and proven execution capabilities.


–Savor Group’s financials for mature venues has stable revenues

(circa $26m) and growing profitability (expected FY20 EBITDA of

circa $3.6m) and iconic hospitality brands which position it well for

an aggressive national expansion strategy.


–Savor Group has opened new premium venues at the Sanford Fish

Market in Auckland CBD. This is forecasted to add $7.3m in revenue

and $1m of EBIT in its first 12 months.


–The cash flow smoothing effect of point of sales will complement Moa’s

P&L, underpinning its financial strength.


–Moa’s sales and supply chain capability allows Savor the ability to

leverage new channels and geographies.

BUSINESS ACCELERATION & SCALABILITY


–Savor Group provides Moa with a platform for market penetration and

growth in one of Auckland’s premier on premise hospitality businesses.


–Securing on premise volume enables Moa to extract better margin from

its beer business.


–Accessing Savor’s loyal customer base and best in class service allows

Moa to capitalise on its new brand development expertise and unlock

additional revenue and value creation sources.


–There are strong opportunities for streamlining the joint

businesses as well as maximising on the inherent synergies with

these symbiotic between Moa’s existing business and Savor

Group’s on premise offering.

ACQUISITION

R ATIONALE

Moa will acquire Savor Group and expand into an

integrated and beverage business.


Moa sees this Savor Group as an ideal platform to

design, test and launch further new brands and venues.


As well as new brands the Moa core business is expected

to benefit from a stronger on premise platform.


As Moa moves into a full service brand and hospitality

company, new products will have a clear and quick route to

market.


The business combination with Savor represents great

value to Moa in that it accelerates brand development into

premium venues, strengthens its position in Auckland (New

Zealand’s largest craft beer market), accesses significant

pourage opportunities, as well as

gaining the execution capabilities of best in class hospitality

innovation and venue operations. Geoff Ross (Executive

Chair) will oversee the combined company.


From day 1 the acquisition will be cash flow positive and

profitable.

The acquisition fast tracks Moa into profitability with a

growing captive on-premise business unit.

MOA SECURES REAL AND TANGIBLE

BENEFITS THROUGH THIS ACQUISITION

As existing contracts come

off there is in excess of

20,000L of craft beer volume

(60,000L of total beer volume)

This equates to an estimated

$350k of potential new revenue for

Moa.

Once completed,

Moa expects to have

access to over $26m of

revenue and $3.6m of

EBITDA.

Moa secures the talent of

Lucien Law to develop new Moa

Craft beer venues and Moa’s

Cellar door in Marlborough.

The combination of talent

is best in class, for Moa to then

execute a strong innovation plan.

100348154/6885409.4

LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN

Dear fellow shareholder,

Capital raise to fund acquisition of Savor Group and new growth opportunities.

On behalf of the directors of Moa Group Limited (Moa), I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to

participate in this offer. As previously announced, Moa, via a wholly owned subsidiary, has

conditionally agreed to purchase Savor Group, a premiere Auckland based hospitality venture.

More information about Savor Group, the bars and restaurants they run and the proposed

transaction is contained in the notice of meeting released by Moa on 22 February 2019, which can

be viewed on the NZX website, under Moa’s announcements.

The planned acquisition of Savor Group is complimentary to Moa’s existing craft brewing

operations, and demonstrates Moa’s ongoing execution of its five key strategies, which include

increasing Moa’s on premise presence, and launching innovative new products. Owning on premise

venues will provide Moa with a clear route to market for its existing products, as well as a platform

to design, test and launch new products. The venues were selected on the basis that they are

premium hospitality destinations in New Zealand’s largest craft beer market (Auckland), and

therefore provide high quality awareness and trial for Moa’s brand and range of products.

The acquisition would add approximately $27m to Moa’s consolidated revenue, taking total group

revenue expectations to over $40m. Moa expects the businesses acquired to be earnings accretive,

with a contribution of $3.6M to EBITDA in the first full financial year following completion of the

transaction.

In order to fund the cash component of the consideration payable, Moa has secured a $5.5m

acquisition facility from BNZ, and as also announced on 22 February 2019, has firm commitments

for a $3m private placement to select investors. We acknowledge that as a shareholder you have

supported Moa on its journey to date, which is why the board wishes to invite shareholders to

participate in this renounceable rights issue at the same price as the private placement. The size

of this rights offer is $2m, although under the Oversubscription Facility the amount raised could be

as much as $3m in total.

You are able to apply for one New Share for every 11 Shares you currently hold. All rights will also

be quoted on the NZX Main Board, so if you do not wish to take up your rights you may trade

them. Whether or not you wish to participate in this rights issue, your board feels it is important to

offer all shareholders the opportunity to invest at the placement price. While participation in the

Offer is optional, if eligible shareholders choose not to take up the Offer their shareholdings will be

diluted. Eligible shareholders may wish to apply for more than their entitlement to reduce dilution

of their existing shareholding though the placement.

The capital raised will primarily be used to fund the cash component of the purchase price for the

Savor Group acquisition. Excess capital will be deployed by Moa to pursue future growth

opportunities such as more hospitality venues and more innovative new products.

The directors of Moa unanimously support the transaction, and we are pleased to offer you the

opportunity to participate in this offer. We thank you for your ongoing support and look forward to

capitalising on the synergies and opportunities which will be available to the Moa group following

the acquisition plus of course welcome you all to our bars and restaurants in Auckland.

Yours sincerely



Geoff Ross

of this rights offer is $2m, although under the Oversubscription Facility the amount raised could be

as much as $3m in total.

You are able to apply for one New Share for every 11 Shares you currently hold. All rights will also

be quoted on the NZX Main Board, so if you do not wish to take up your rights you may trade

them. Whether or not you wish to participate in this rights issue, your board feels it is important to

offer all shareholders the opportunity to invest at the placement price. While participation in the

Offer is optional, if eligible shareholders choose not to take up the Offer their shareholdings will be

diluted. Eligible shareholders may wish to apply for more than their entitlement to reduce dilution

of their existing shareholding though the placement.

The capital raised will primarily be used to fund the cash component of the purchase price for the

Savor Group acquisition. Excess capital will be deployed by Moa to pursue future growth

opportunities such as more hospitality venues and more innovative new products.

The directors of Moa unanimously support the transaction, and we are pleased to offer you the

opportunity to participate in this offer. We thank you for your ongoing support and look forward to

capitalising on the synergies and opportunities which will be available to the Moa group following

the acquisition plus of course welcome you all to our bars and restaurants in Auckland.

Yours sincerely



Geoff Ross

Executive Chairman

The issue price per share is the lower of 51.32 cents, the same price as shares issued to investors

under the recent $1.92m Placement, or the 5 day volume weighted average share price as at the

Closing Date (6 July 2018), unless extended.


The Offer is intended to close at 5.00pm on 6 July 2018. Applications for your new Moa shares can

be made online at www.moashareoffer.co.nz or by completing and returning the accompanying

Application Form. You should complete your application allowing sufficient time for it to be received

by 5.00 pm on 6 July 2018. The correct way to complete and send your Application Form and

application monies is set out on the Application Form accompanying this Offer document.

Further details about the Offer are included in this document. While participation in the Offer is

optional, if eligible shareholders choose not to take up the Offer their shareholdings will be diluted.

If this Offer is not for you, you of course continue to be a Moa owner, a Moa Hunter and we thank

you for your support on this journey. New Zealand needs to have prominent New Zealand beers

actually owned by New Zealanders.


Onwards.


Geoff and the team at Moa.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1 The Offer

The Offer is an offer of New Shares in Moa to Eligible

Shareholders under a pro-rata renounceable rights

issue. Under the Offer, Eligible Shareholders are

entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 11

Existing Shares held on the Record Date (with any

fractional entitlements rounded up) and may apply for

Additional New Shares pursuant to the

Oversubscription Facility.

The New Shares are of the same class as (and rank

equally with) Moa’s Existing Shares which are quoted

on the NZX Main Board. Moa will take any necessary

steps to ensure that the New Shares are, immediately

after the issue, quoted. The maximum number of New

Shares being offered under the Offer is 7,894,737. The

Rights will be quoted on the NZX Main Board and can

be traded.

2 Issue Price

The Issue Price is 38 cents per New Share, the same

price as the placement announced on 22 February

2019 . The Issue Price must be paid in full on application

online or with a completed Acceptance Form delivered

(either by mail, delivery, email or fax) to Link in

accordance with the instructions set out in the

Acceptance Form. Moa may accept late Applications

and Application Monies, but has no obligation to do so.

Moa may accept or reject (at its discretion) any online

application or Acceptance Form which it considers is

not completed correctly, and may correct any errors or

omissions on any Acceptance Form.

If an Eligible Shareholder fails to accept any New Shares

and pay the associated Application Monies by the

Closing Date (5.00pm on 5 April 2019 ), their Rights will

lapse.

As required by the Listing Rules, if Moa receives, before

the Closing Date, a renunciation and an acceptance in

respect of the same Right(s), the renunciation shall be

given priority to the acceptance.

Application monies received will be held in a trust

account with Link until the corresponding New Shares

are allotted or the application monies are refunded.

Interest earned on the application monies will be for

the benefit, and remain the property, of Moa and will

be retained by Moa whether or not the issue of New

Shares takes place. Any refunds of application monies

will be made within 5 Business Days of the issue of New

Shares (or such earlier date that the decision not to

proceed with the Offer is made).

3 Eligibility

The Offer is only open to Eligible Shareholders, being

those persons with registered addresses in New

Zealand or Australia, who are registered as

Shareholders at the Record Date.

Moa considers that the legal requirements of other

jurisdictions in which Shareholders have a registered

address are such that it would be unduly onerous for

Moa to make the Offer, having regard to the low

number of such Shareholders, the number and value of

New Shares such Shareholders would be offered, the

financial resources of Moa and the costs of complying

with overseas legal requirements.

4 Oversubscription Facility

Eligible Shareholders who accept their full Entitlement

may also apply for Additional New Shares (in excess of

their Entitlement) at the Issue Price pursuant to the

Oversubscription Facility. Applicants may apply for any

number of Additional New Shares, but there is no

guarantee that Applicants will be allocated any or all of

the Additional New Shares for which they apply.

The number of New Shares available under the

Oversubscription Facility will equal the number of New

Shares for which valid applications are not received by

the Closing Date plus an additional $1m of New Shares

at the Issue Price. No applicant for Additional New

Shares will be allocated any greater number of

Additional New Shares than the number for which they

have applied and paid.

If the total number of Additional New Shares applied for

exceeds the total number of New Shares in the

Oversubscription Facility, Moa may scale the

oversubscription applications in such manner as the

directors consider equitable and in the interests of

Moa. In undertaking such scaling, the directors will

have regard to:

• the number of Moa shares held by applicants for

Additional New Shares as at the Record Date;

• optimisation of Moa’s share register, and

anticipated future support for Moa;

• encouraging retail participation in the

Oversubscription Facility;

• any applicable restrictions under the Takeovers

Code or other applicable laws; and

• such other factors as may be considered relevant.

Moa reserves the right to ballot, reduce the upper limit

of New Shares allocated or scale the applications in any

other manner that it deems appropriate (subject to

applicable laws and the Listing Rules). The directors’

decision on scaling will be final.

5 Opening and Closing Dates

The Offer will open for receipt of acceptances on

18 March 2019 (the “Opening Date”). The last day for

receipt of applications made online, or by the

Acceptance Form, in each case with payment is 5.00pm

on 5 April 2019 (the “Closing Date”), subject to Moa

varying those dates in accordance with the NZX Main

Board Listing Rules.

6 Issue of New Shares

New Shares are expected to be allotted and issued by

10 April 2019 (the “Issue Date”). Statements for New

Shares will be issued and mailed in accordance with the

Listing Rules.

7 Terms and Ranking of New Shares

New Shares allotted and issued will be fully paid and will

be the same class as (and rank equally in all respects

with ) other Shares on issue that are quoted on the NZX

Main Board on the Issue Date. They will give the holder

the right to one vote on a resolution at a meeting of

shareholders (subject to any restrictions in Moa ’s

constitution or the Listing Rules), the rights to dividends

authorised by the Board and the right to a

proportionate share in any distribution of surplus assets

of Moa on any liquidation.

8 Rights

If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you are not required

to subscribe for all of the New Shares to which you

would be entitled under the Offer. You may subscribe

for a proportion of your New Shares or allow your

Entitlement to lapse.

9 Minimum amount raised

There is no minimum amount that must be raised for

the Offer to proceed.

10 NZX Main Board Quotation

The New Shares have been accepted for quotation by

NZX and will be quoted upon completion of allotment

procedures. The NZX Main Board is a licensed market

operated by NZX, which is a licensed market operator

regulated under the FMCA.

Application has been made for permission to quote the

Rights on the NZX Main Board and all NZX requirements

have been duly complied with. However, NZX accepts

no responsibility for any statement in this Offer

document.

11 Rights trading

As the Rights are renounceable and will be quoted on

the NZX Main Board, you may sell your Rights (whether

in full or in part) by instructing an NZX Firm to do so, or

through any other channel approved by NZX. You will

also need to provide your CSN/Holder number or

Authorisation Code (FIN). Brokerage may be payable in

respect of such sales.

Alternatively, you may transfer your Rights off-market

by completing the ‘Security Renunciation/Security

Transfer’ section of the Acceptance Form and returning

it to Link.

You may purchase additional Rights through an NZX

Firm or any other channel approved by NZX.

Tr ading of Rights will commence on the NZX Main Board

under the ticker code MOARC on 14 March 2019, and

will end at 5pm on 1 April 2019.


12 Compliance with Takeovers Code

To enable compliance with the Takeovers Code,

shareholders may give an instruction to Moa in writing

to reclassify some or all of the New Shares issued to

them as non-voting shares having the same terms as

existing unlisted non-voting shares in Moa.

13 Amendments to the Offer and waiver of compliance

Notwithstanding any other term or condition of the

Offer and/or the Application Form, Moa may, at its

discretion:

• make non-material modifications to the Offer on

such terms and conditions it thinks fit (in which

event applications for Shares under the Offer will

remain binding on the applicant notwithstanding

such modification and irrespective of whether an

Application Form was received by Link before or

after such modification is made); and/or

• suspend or terminate the Offer at any time prior to

the issue of the Shares under the Offer (including by

reviewing the timetable for the Offer). If the Offer

is terminated, application monies will be refunded

to applicants without interest within 5 Business

Days of termination.

Moa reserves the right to waive compliance with any

provision of these terms and conditions.

Moa will notify NZX of any waiver, amendment,

variation, suspension, withdrawal or termination of the

Offer.

14 Reliance on waiver

Moa has been granted waivers by NZX Regulation from

Listing Rules 7.3.2(b) and 7.6.6(b), in order to permit

Moa to issue shares, or to cancel shares, later than 12

months after the date of the resolutions authorising the

issue or cancellation. The waivers do not apply with

respect to New Shares issued under this Offer.

These waivers were granted in connection with the

consideration structure of Moa’s acquisition of Savor

Group. The waivers are available for viewing at

https://www.nzx.com/announcements/330958.
