Issue under Air New Zealand Long Term Incentive Performance Rights Plan


In 2015, Air New Zealand Limited (AIR) (the Company) adopted a new Long Term Incentive Performance

Rights Plan (the Plan).

The Company advises that it has issued 4,746,580 performance rights for no consideration to the Chief

Executive Officer and selected executives under the Plan. The performance rights were issued on 21

October 2019 as approved by the directors of the Company on 25 September 2019.

The performance rights issued under the Plan give participants the right to receive ordinary shares in the

Company subject to certain vesting conditions being met on or after 10 September 2022. The vesting of

performance rights is subject to the Company’s share price outperforming a comparison index made up

50:50 between the NZX All Index and the Bloomberg World Airline Index over a three year measurement

period from the date of issue. In particular:

(a) 50% of performance rights will vest if the Company’s share price has matched the index over the

measurement period; and


(b) for each 1% the share price outperforms the index, a further 2.5% of performance rights will vest

until reaching the maximum 100%.


If the share price does not match the index on the third anniversary of the issue date, there will be a

further six-month opportunity for the performance rights to vest.
