of Wellington, we are pleased to provide you the opportunity to participate in

this Offer to raise approximately NZ$5.3m of new equity capital for the company.

Wellington’s Business

Wellington has three business verticals: Wellington Connect™ IoT, Wellington ECR

®

and its start-up business Smart

Cities.

The company is seeing an increased effort from its customers to utilise technologies that will connect them wirelessly

to their point-of-sale refrigeration equipment as well as connect directly to end consumers, to help drive sales revenue

and margin growth. This includes the adoption of IoT devices, data services and proximity digital marketing services

delivered through the IoT device. Wellington’s food and beverage customers also remain focused on energy efficient

refrigeration solutions to help achieve their sustainability goals.

The mega-trend of a rapidly growing and broadly developing IoT technology market, in areas such as Intelligent Retail,

Industrial IoT and Smart Locations is one that Wellington is participating in with its Wellington Connect IoT Platform.

Wellington Connect IoT platform

Wellington’s IoT platform offers a comprehensive ecosystem of hardware, wireless and digital solutions for coolers,

freezers and ambient displays, cooling equipment control, cooler fleet management, Point of Sale (POS) and

maintenance insights as well as proximity-based

marketing direct to the consumer’s mobile device.

Wellington’s Connect IoT platform consists of:

● Applications (apps) and software tools: A range of

user apps that deliver digital services, such as the

Promotions App powered by iProximity software and

the Insights App that provides analysis and reporting on

cooler fleet data captured by Wellington’s platform;

● Wirelessly connected hardware with cloud based

operational infrastructure: The Wellington Connect

hardware family, such as the Connect SCS and

Connect Monitor, ensures point of sale equipment is connected to the cloud, providing operational metrics to assist

with optimising hardware fleet management. The Wellington Connect Cloud and Wellington Marketing Cloud

provide the data platform to ensure that a food and beverage retailer can access leet data in the cloud to monitor

and manage business performance; and

● Wirelessly connected hardware with cloud based operational infrastructure: The Wellington Connect hardware

family, such as the Connect SCS and Connect Monitor, ensures point of sale equipment is connected to the cloud,

providing operational metrics to assist with optimising hardware fleet management. The Wellington Connect Cloud

and Wellington Marketing Cloud provide the data platform to ensure that a food and beverage retailer can access

fleet data in the cloud to monitor and manage business performance; and

● Software Development Kits (SDKs) and Application Programming Interface Software (APIs): Developed to ensure

Wellington’s platform connects with third party apps and enterprise platforms. An expanding range of APIs ensures

seamless operation with an increasing range of customer enterprise systems.

Wellington’s IoT business is rapidly developing into a larger part of its overall growth strategy. In 2018, IoT revenue

was 29% of the business mix and is estimated to increase to 40% in 2019. IoT margin contribution for 2019 is

estimated to be around 57% of the company’s total margin. The revenue and margin impact from IoT have been

achieved in a short period of time; 2016 was the company’s first full year of IoT sales.

Wellington ECR motors

Wellington’s new generation ECR2 motor platform, which includes the soon-to-be-released ECR2+, is a higher

power motor designed to deliver mid-cost, highly reliable and efficient airflow solutions to refrigeration manufacturers.

Wellington’s legacy ECR1, ECR82 and ECR92 platforms remain active products, albeit in declining volumes, although

still suitable for niche applications in bottle coolers.

The company’s new generation electronic motors are designed to improve reliability and reduce operating costs

as well as the carbon footprint of commercial coolers. The ECF™ Fanpack brand is focused on delivering a fully

integrated airflow solution to supermarket equipment manufacturers.

The Wellington ECR2 motor started shipping to customers in mid-2016, with 98,000 units sold in that first year. In

2018, a major North American customer in the beverage and food service market, which had started working with the

company in 2016, started volume shipments of ECR2. The total amount of ECR2 units sold to all customers in 2018

was 655,000 units. During the first half of 2019, Wellington shipped 402,000 units, an increase of 36% in volume

growth in comparison to the first half of 2018.

Wellington Smart Cities

iProximity, which Wellington acquired in July 2018,

includes a small, early stage IoT business directed at

helping cities engage with citizens and tourists through

the delivery of contextual proximity information and

marketing services.

Wellington’s Smart Cities business provides technology

platforms and software that connects digital information

with physical spaces. This technology manages beacons,

smart tags with QR-Code and near field communications

(NFC), radio frequency identification (RFID) and

IoT devices, IoT platforms, smartphones and digital

signs through an iProximity developed cloud-based

management platform.

Wellington Smart Cities is providing solutions to several Australian city councils and is exploring several new projects

using Bluetooth technology and the iProximity platform. The company is helping connect consumers, tourists and

citizens to contextual information at the places they visit.

Strong revenue growth and changing sales mix

Consistent revenue growth of 34% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past three years has translated

directly into substantial margin improvement. Gross profit dollars have increased fourfold since 2014, surpassing

$14m in 2018 and estimated to be around $15m in 2019.

The company expects continued improvement in gross profit dollars as new IoT products are developed, the new

ECR2+ motor comes on line and more of its hardware manufacturing is moved towards its lower-cost, higher-

capability manufacturing partner, East West. The company maintains a manufacturing capability with its supplier in

China for mainly Chinese customers.

Wellington has demonstrated a consistent improvement in gross profit performance over the past five years.

Wellington’s Vision 2023 and growth strategy

Wellington’s aspirational goal is to achieve revenue of around $100m by the end of 2023. To achieve this the company

is committed to a growth strategy that delivers effective and efficient business solutions to its commercial customers

through a combination of advanced IoT hardware, IoT software and digital marketing services, plus energy efficient

electronically commutated (EC) motors.

RIGHTS OFFER 2019

If the company is successful with its new technology product sales and can achieve an average CAGR of 15% over

the coming years, then this would translate into revenues of around $100m by the end of 2023. The short-term growth

rate in total revenues is constrained by the decline in legacy motor revenues and this factor is likely to cause 2019

revenue to be largely flat on 2018. Wellington is seeing continued underlying growth in IoT and new generation ECR2

motor revenues and the sales pipeline suggests that this growth is likely to continue in 2020.

Potential new markets such as Retail 4.0 (the transformation of retail from previously “dumb” stores to “smart”

connected stores and retail solutions), Smart Cities (connecting various objects and venues in a city to the cloud and

making them interactive with the consumer) and the overall global IoT market are predicted by external analysts to

grow at rates exceeding 20%. Achieving access to and successfully executing within these higher growth markets

could create the possibility for the company to achieve its long-term revenue growth goals.

The company’s objectives are underpinned by the development of a broadening range of solutions designed to serve

the retail food and beverage markets. Wellington’s growth vision embraces the future of connected retail and the

team’s belief in “Retail 4.0”. Wellington products and solutions are now helping to enable our commercial customers

on this journey.

As a result of the company’s growth strategy, several new Connect IoT solutions will be entering the market in 2020:

• Connect Monitor: A wireless device, designed for cooler retrofit, which lets customers access Wellington’s

powerful Connect IoT Cloud and use a range of cooler asset management

tools, such as tracking of the cooler and remotely monitoring beverage

temperature trends. This device will further open the market opportunity to

a large existing installed base of coolers. One customer for this product has

an estimated 600,000 coolers installed in Mexico.

• Connect Q-Tag: A QR-Code/NFC device which provides a customer access

to the iProximity marketing platform simply by scanning the device with their

phone. This will provide a consumer connectivity at point of sale without the

need for a mobile app to access venue information or promotions at point

of sale.

NFC: Near Field Communication: a radio chip with antenna embedded in a tag that works

once an enabled mobile phone is passed over it. Can be used to transfer two-way data.

• Connect Network: An IoT cellular hub utilising 4G/5G, SigFox and Wi-Fi

technologies to deliver ‘always on’ connectivity to customers. This could be

used for mission critical applications such as monitoring the temperature of perishable goods or tracking valuable

Wellington is exploring new, adjacent market

opportunities for its solutions. New food and

beverage markets include food service and

ambient temperature groceries and snacks.

New markets are being investigated for the

iProximity platform such as smart venues.

The strategy is to increase “share of revenue”

inside retail point of sale equipment, whether

a cooler, a food display case or ambient

equipment that enables the sale or distribution

of food or beverage to a consumer.

Five main priorities

The company’s growth is based on developing new IoT and EC motor products, developing new customers in existing

food and beverage refrigeration markets and accessing adjacent markets for its Connect IoT, iProximity and EC

motor solutions. Wellington will seek to exploit the technology acquired through iProximity to develop digital marketing

services for food and beverage customers.

The priorities for the balance of 2019 and into 2020 are:

1. Successful execution of new customer IoT adoption programs, including an expansion of the successful OEM

program launched with SKOPE Industries and the development of new IoT programs such as the new North

American beverage equipment OEM opportunity;

2. Expansion of engineering resources to ensure the development of new IoT hardware and software as well as EC

motor products necessary to fuel top line growth;

3. Add expertise that enables the company to deploy and support digital marketing with existing and new

adjacent markets;

4. Develop new markets and customers for the Wellington iProximity platform; and

5. Plan and commence implementation of a new company-wide ERP system.

New growth projects

The company will continue its strategy of investing in expanding and improving its IoT offering to the carbonated soft

drinks segment as well as extending the hardware and software platform to adjacent market segments including beer,

ice-cream and food service refrigeration.

In August 2019, as part of the interim report, the company announced it was working on closing a new IoT business

opportunity. This opportunity would provide IoT hardware and data services to one of the largest manufacturers of

commercial coolers in the Americas. Wellington has been verbally advised it has been awarded the business, although

some risk remains as a formal commercial agreement has not yet been reached. Wellington’s confidence at this stage

of discussions stems from the fact there is an existing long-standing commercial relationship with this customer on

another line of business.

This opportunity will require a new Connect SCS product to be developed in 2020, along with customer specific

applications to be developed, with development and support costs in the range of $1.0m to $1.5m.


At scale, this project could potentially deliver growth of around 100,000 Connect SCS devices per year, plus data

services and open the opportunity to use the Connect Monitor retrofit device in its installed fleet of coolers. If

successful, programme revenues from this project would likely start in Q4 2020.

The ability to fund the product investment and support ongoing working capital needs as this new project scales is an

important foundation for the company’s growth plan.

Interim results

2019 Interim result

On 29 August 2019 Wellington announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2019.

Revenue for H1 2019 was $33.3m, a 19% increase over H1 2018. The company achieved an EBITDA

1

surplus of

$2.45m for the period, a 98% increase. EBIT was $1.27m ($0.31m last year) and the net profit was $0.72m, a $0.92m

improvement on the prior year.

2019 Q3 result

On 22 October 2019 Wellington announced its unaudited financial results for the nine months ending September

2019 and for Q3 2019. For the nine months the company delivered 13% revenue growth, with revenue at $45.9m,

compared to $40.7m for the same period last year. Revenue from IoT products was 38% higher, revenue from the

ECR2 motor platform was 41% higher and revenue for legacy motor products declined consistent with forecast.


EBITDA for the nine months was $3.1m versus $1.1m for the same period last year, with the current year including a

$0.4m non-cash accounting gain arising from a change in fair value of the contingent consideration payable for the

acquisition of iProximity Pty Limited. EBITDA excluding this gain was $2.7m. Net profit for the nine months, including

the fair value adjustment, was $0.58m, up from a loss of $0.77m last year.

Outlook

Wellington’s business mix is changing; sales efforts are targeted more towards the new generation ECR motor

platform and higher margin IoT products, where revenues are expected to continue growing. Our sales of legacy

EC motors to bottle cooler customers are now beginning to decline more rapidly than we had previously expected,

masking the continued strength of growth in new technology products. We expect this trend to continue into 2020 with

the legacy motor business constituting a relatively minor percentage of total revenue.

The changing business mix is continuing in the fourth quarter, with legacy motor volumes continuing to decline, and

seasonal revenue volatility continuing, resulting in the company’s total revenue in 2019 expected to be at similar levels

to 2018. The company notes there is typically some volatility around timing of year-end orders.

This decline in legacy motor volumes along with a higher level of skill and capex investment to support new business

and development activity, means the company anticipates EBITDA will be between $3.0m and $3.5m, with net profit

around break-even and operating

cashflow somewhat higher in 2019 in

comparison to 2018. Note that these

forecasts do not incorporate any fair

value accounting adjustments for the

iProximity acquisition.

Forecasts for 2020 are in the early

stages, with customers typically

releasing next year’s demand in late

fourth quarter or early in the New Year.

The company’s early planning models

suggest revenue growth of 10% is

possible, with further improvements in

EBITDA, net profit and positive operating

cash flow versus 2019. The forecast is

based on an NZD/USD exchange rate

of $0.65 and assumes the company

is adequately funded to execute its

operational and growth plans. Forecasts

are based on the general assumption of

stable global macro-economic conditions, including stabilising of current global trade agreements.

Note: The company’s sales and purchases of products are mostly denominated in US dollars. A lower NZ dollar

relative to the US dollar results in an increase in reported NZ dollar revenue and gross profit. Most of the company’s

fixed operating costs and overheads are incurred in NZ dollars and there would only be a modest increase in NZ

dollar operating costs from a lower NZ dollar. A stronger NZ dollar would have the opposite effect. The net impact of

a one cent fall in the NZ dollar relative to the US dollar is estimated to increase EBITDA by approximately NZ$150k

over a twelve months period (and vice versa for a one cent rise). The company partially forward hedges its currency

exposure which means any financial impact would somewhat lag any actual currency change.

Rights issue

Use of funds

The company is seeking to raise approximately $5.3m from shareholders through a rights issue that is 100%

committed by way of a partial underwrite and by way of commitments from shareholders.

The funds will be used as follows:

Expansion of IoT business with increased business development and technical skills

Expansion of the company’s IoT business will require an increase in marketing and technical capability to broaden the

customer base outside of the historical focus on beverage coolers.

This includes hiring regional expertise to develop global food service clients, expand customers for Connect SCS

and deliver iProximity platform field trials. Funds will be used to increase technical sales to develop the iProximity

platform in areas such as smart venues and broaden software development capability to further expand the digital

product range.

It will also require the expansion of existing iProximity sourcing relationships to significantly scale shipments of Q-Tag

devices (as shown on page 5) used for ambient food retail customers.

RIGHTS OFFER 2019
9

Funds will be used in part to invest in these new marketing skills and expand sourcing relationships.

Accelerated investment in new products and solutions

Wellington has identified several attractive growth opportunities. One such project was announced in the 2019 interim

report (the formal commercial agreement has yet to be fully finalised). The company’s board has approved initial

work on the development of the products necessary to support the new opportunity, with new funds being used for

additional technical staff to work on accelerating.

New products include the Connect SCS Black, a Connect IoT device specifically targeted at large scale new build

coolers; Connect Monitor, a new IoT device to allow retrofit in a broader range of coolers; Connect Network, a new

‘always on’ IoT device; and new apps including one that helps store owners manage the in-store cooler fleet or the

installed display shelves.

The company plans to accelerate product development by investing in more engineering and technical sales talent,

and one of the options it is considering is the partial offshoring of some product development activity. Funds will be

used in part to expand development teams and to explore placing product teams closer to markets and customers.

Debt repayment

Wellington has a $1m loan from Onimeg Investments Limited and a US$0.6m loan from Meta Capital Limited which

are both repayable on 31 March 2020. Proceeds from this issue will be used in part to repay these loans on or before

the due dates.

Working capital flexibility

Wellington’s working capital management is a core strength with the approximate balance of receivables and

payables meaning minimal additional working capital has historically been required to fund revenue growth. However,

some food and beverage brands are seeking more onerous payment terms from suppliers and are also requiring

increased in-market inventory placement to shorten lead times. These customers are also looking to ensure their

strategic suppliers have strong balance sheets to support long term supply of hardware and service. The company

requires additional working capital flexibility to be able to support shortened customer lead time and balance sheet

requirements and to match the commercial terms required to win new business.

Funds will be used in part to strengthen the balance sheet to support these initiatives.

The offer

Under the Offer, all Eligible Shareholders are entitled (but not obliged) to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 5

Ordinary Shares held as at 5.00 pm on the Record Date of 5 November 2019, at an issue price of $0.10 per New

Share. The issue price represents a 47.4% discount to the market price at the date of this Offer Document.

A number of staff members, including executives, have indicated they will be taking up their Rights to subscribe for

New Shares under the Offer.

Wellington Acting Chairman John McMahon is also the sole director and shareholder of Meta Capital Limited. Meta

Capital has loaned US$0.6 million to Wellington on arms-length terms and this loan is due for repayment on 31

March 2020. Part of the proceeds of the capital raising will contribute towards repayment of this loan. In addition, Mr

McMahon is a director of NZX Limited, the parent company of Smartshares Limited, which is a substantial product

holder of Wellington with 27.478% of the issued ordinary shares of Wellington as at 6 June 2018 (being the date of

its most recent substantial product holder disclosure). Given these factors, Mr McMahon is deemed to be “interested”

in the Offer. Accordingly, he has not participated in discussions or information where a conflict of interest may arise

and has been recused from all Wellington Board decisions relating to the Offer. Mr McMahon is not an independent

director of Wellington.

Future performance and forward-looking statements

Wellington’s business is subject to business risks and opportunities that could materially affect the outcome of the

company’s results. These include: a number of early stage IoT and proximity marketing growth opportunities that, if

successful, could alter the company’s forecasts and performance; the potential impact (positive and negative) from

food and beverage brands adjusting their sourcing and technology strategies; and inherent quality risks and potential

warranty claims associated with the development and manufacture of complex electronics, mechanical products and

software platforms. Wellington has an industry-standard approach to software licencing and data privacy, however

changes in data privacy legislation globally could impact the business. Wellington’s revenue can be adversely

impacted by changes to customer capital expenditure plans, seasonal demand planning, overstocking programs and

geographical demand.

This Offer Document contains both historical and forward-looking statements in connection with Wellington. The

forward-looking statements in this Offer Document are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect our current

expectations concerning future results and events and generally may be identified by the use of forward-looking words

or phrases such as ‘believe’, ‘aim’, ‘expect’, ‘anticipated’, ‘intending’, ‘likely’, ‘should’, ‘planned’, ‘may’, ‘estimated’,

‘potential’, or other similar words and phrases. Similarly, statements that describe our objectives, plans, goals or

expectations are or may be forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors

that may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed, projected

or implied by these forward-looking statements. Differences in our future results, performance and achievements

are normal and to be expected. You should review carefully all the information included or referred to in this Offer

Document. The forward-looking statements included in this Offer Document are made only as of the date of this Offer

Document. Neither Wellington, nor any of our Directors, officers, employees, agents or advisers, makes or gives any

representation, assurance or guarantee that any forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved, and Applicants

are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Neither Wellington nor any other

person warrants our future performance or any return on any investment made under this Offer Document, except as

required by law and then only to the extent so required.

circumstances on which any such statement is based, other than to comply with our obligations under the FMCA, the

RIGHTS OFFER 2019
14

Issuer

The Offer is made by Wellington Drive Technologies Limited, which has its registered office at 21 Arrenway Drive,

Rosedale, Auckland 0632, New Zealand.

The Offer

The Offer is a pro rata renounceable rights offer of New Shares.

Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for one New Share for every five Ordinary Shares held at 5.00 pm on

the Record Date (5 November 2019). The maximum number of New Shares being offered is 52,628,670

2

.

The Issue Price of $0.10 per New Share (the Issue Price) is payable in cash and in full on application. You are not

required to pay for your Rights, only for the New Shares which will be issued to you if you choose to take up all or

some of your Rights (and any additional New Shares under the Oversubscription Facility).

The Offer opens on 6 November 2019 and closes at 5.00 pm on 25 November 2019. The timetable for the Offer is set

out in the section of this Offer Document entitled “Important Dates”.

Ordinary Shares Issued

The New Shares to be issued are of the same class as existing Ordinary Shares that are listed on the NZX Main

Board under the code “WDT”. As such, the New Shares issued will be fully paid and rank equally in all respects with

other fully paid existing Ordinary Shares. It is a term of the Offer that Wellington will take any necessary steps to

ensure that the New Shares are, immediately after their issue, quoted on the NZX Main Board.

Each such New Share will confer on the holder the rights described in our constitution and as provided for in the

Companies Act 1993, including the right to:

(a) one vote on a poll at a meeting of Shareholders (subject to any restrictions in our constitution or the Listing Rules);

(b) an equal participation with all other Ordinary Shares in any dividend declared after the issue of the New Shares;

(c) an equal participation with all other Ordinary Shares in the residual assets on a liquidation of Wellington; and

(d) be sent reports, notices of meetings and other information sent to Shareholders.

Holders of the New Shares issued will be bound by our constitution and the terms of the Offer set out in this Offer

Document.

Your Rights

If you are an Eligible Shareholder, your entitlement to Rights under the Offer is shown on the personalised Entitlement

and Acceptance Form which accompanies this Offer Document. Fractional Rights, if any, have been rounded down.

The Rights will be quoted on the NZX Main Board and can be traded.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you can choose to accept your Rights in whole or in part. If you accept your Rights

in full, you may also apply for additional New Shares under the Oversubscription Facility. Applications once made

cannot be withdrawn.

Details of the Offer

2

Certain employees are existing holders of rights to acquire shares under (1) the Wellington Partly Paid Share Scheme; and (2) the US Option

Plan. If all of the relevant rights were exercised, resulting in new shares being issued to those persons on or before the Record Date, this would

increase the number of New Shares available for subscription under the Offer by 1,978,559. Further details on the Wellington Partly Paid Share

Scheme and the US Option Plan are included in Wellington’s most recent annual report.

RIGHTS OFFER 2019
15

Oversubscription Facility

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and take up all your Rights, you may apply for an additional number of New Shares

in excess of your Rights (additional New Shares) through the Oversubscription Facility at the same Issue Price

of $0.10 each. You may apply for any number of additional New Shares, but there is no guarantee that you will be

allocated any or all the additional New Shares for which you have applied and submitted payment for.

The number of New Shares available under the Oversubscription Facility will be equal to the number of New Shares

for which valid applications have not been received by the Closing Date (ignoring any applications for additional New

Shares) (known as the Shortfall).

If the applications for additional New Shares exceed the Shortfall, each application for additional New Shares will be

allocated as follows:

(a) first, additional New Shares will be allocated to any applicants who would otherwise be allotted less than a

minimum holding of Ordinary Shares (in accordance with the Listing Rules) to the extent necessary to bring such

applicants up to a minimum holding of Ordinary Shares;


(b) if there is any remaining Shortfall, applicants will be allocated the lesser of:

(i) the number of additional New Shares they applied for; and

(ii) the number of additional New Shares they applied for, multiplied by the proportion that the number of

Ordinary Shares they hold as at the Record Date bears to the number of Ordinary Shares held as at the

Record Date by all other applicants for additional New Shares; and

(c) any remaining Shortfall following the allocations set out in paragraph (b) above will be allocated among the

remaining unsatisfied applicants on the same basis, until the entire Shortfall has been allocated.

If you are a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares, a custodian holds Ordinary Shares on your behalf, and you have

instructed the custodian to apply for additional New Shares on your behalf, you will be allocated a number of

additional New Shares calculated in accordance with the above, on the basis that you and each other beneficial owner

who applies for additional New Shares is treated as a separate Shareholder.

If you hold Ordinary Shares as a custodian, please provide, in addition to and with your Entitlement and Acceptance

Form, details of the underlying beneficial shareholders for which you are subscribing for New Shares and the number

of New Shares and, if applicable, any additional New Shares for which each such holder is subscribing.

These allocations are subject, in each case, to our right to limit the allotment of additional New Shares to any person

when that allotment may result, or be likely to result, in that person breaching the Takeovers Code or when Listing

Rule 5.2.1 would be triggered by such allotment.

Renounceable Offer

The Offer is renounceable, which means that if you do not wish to subscribe for some or all your Rights, you may sell

or otherwise transfer your entitlement to all or any part of your Rights. To do so, you should complete the steps set out

on the reverse of the Entitlement and Acceptance Form distributed with this Offer Document.

If both a renunciation and an acceptance are received in relation to the same Rights, the renunciation will take priority.

The purchaser of your renounced Rights is not thereby entitled to apply for additional New Shares under the

Oversubscription Facility.

Minimum Amount to be raised

There is no minimum amount that must be raised for the Offer to proceed.

Effect of the Offer

The Offer is not expected to have a material impact on the control of Wellington. Specifically, Wellington does not

expect any additional shareholder(s) to hold more than 20% of Wellington’s shares after completion of the Offer.

RIGHTS OFFER 2019
16

Opening and Closing Dates

The Offer will open for acceptances from 9.00 a.m. on 6 November 2019 and close at 5.00 p.m. on 25 November

2019, subject to Wellington not varying those dates in accordance with the Listing Rules.

Application

Instructions on how to apply for New Shares under the Offer are set out on page 18 of this Offer Document entitled

‘Actions to be taken by you’.

A properly completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form, together with payment of the Issue Price of $0.10 per New

Share you are taking up, must be received by Computershare Investor Services Limited no later than 5:00 pm on the

Closing Date (25 November 2019).

We reserve the right to accept late applications but are not obliged to do so. We further reserve the right to accept or

reject (at our discretion) any Entitlement and Acceptance Form which is not completed correctly, and to correct any

errors or omissions on any Entitlement and Acceptance Form.

Application Monies and Refunds

Application Monies received will be held in a trust account until the corresponding New Shares are allotted. We will

establish the trust account solely for the purpose of depositing Application Monies. Interest earned on the Application

Monies will be for our benefit, will remain our property, and will be retained by us whether or not the issue and

allotment of New Shares takes place.

We reserve the right to withdraw the Offer and/or the issue of New Shares at any time prior to allotment, in which

case all Application Monies will be refunded (without interest) as soon as practicable and, in any event, within five

business days.

If your application is not accepted for any reason, or is accepted in part only (including with respect to the

Oversubscription Facility), you will receive a refund of the balancing payment (without interest), by direct credit

or cheque as soon as practicable and, in any event, within five business days after the date of allotment of the

New Shares.

Allotment

The New Shares will be allotted and Holding Statements will be issued and mailed as soon as practicable after the

Offer closes. Allotment will be no later than five business days after the Closing Date.

You should ascertain your allocation under the Offer before attempting to sell your New Shares. You can do so by

contacting the Registrar at the address set out in the Directory. If you sell New Shares prior to receiving a Holding

Statement you do so at your own risk. Wellington, its Directors, officers, employees, agents and advisers do not

accept any liability or responsibility should you attempt to sell or otherwise deal with New Shares before you receive

the Holding Statement showing the number of New Shares allotted to you.

Underwriting

We have entered into underwriting agreements (Underwriting Agreements) with several existing shareholders

(the Underwriters) to provide certainty as to the amount of subscription funds to be raised under the Offer. The

Underwriters have agreed to support the Offer by underwriting any shortfall of New Shares that may occur if the Rights

are not taken up in full up to a maximum amount in the aggregate of $3,813,800 (inclusive of any Rights exercised

and additional New Shares acquired by them under the Oversubscription Facility), pursuant to the Underwriting

Agreements. The Underwriters will be paid an agreed fee for their services in connection with the Offer.

Eligibility

The Offer for New Shares is only open to Shareholders with a registered address in New Zealand on the Record

Date (5:00 pm on 5 November 2019) and to any other Shareholders to whom we consider it is not unduly onerous to

make the Offer under the legal requirements of their jurisdiction. In accordance with Listing Rule 4.4.1(e), Wellington

has determined that it would be unduly onerous to satisfy itself that the Offer complied with the legal requirements of

jurisdictions outside New Zealand.

RIGHTS OFFER 2019
17

No person resident outside New Zealand who receives a copy of this Offer Document or an Entitlement and

Acceptance Form may treat either of them as an offer or invitation to subscribe for New Shares (except where advised

otherwise by us). Those Shareholders outside New Zealand who wish to take up New Shares should contact us.

We reserve the right to determine whether you or any other Shareholder are eligible to participate in the Offer, and to

reject any application that we consider has been made by a person who is not an Eligible Shareholder. We and our

Directors, officers, employees, agents and advisers accept no liability whatsoever for determining whether a person is

an Eligible Shareholder.

In accordance with the proviso to Listing Rule 4.4.1(e), if you are not an Eligible Shareholder, the Rights that you

would otherwise receive will be issued to a nominee who will endeavour to sell those Rights on your behalf and

account to you for the proceeds of sale (if any and less any transaction costs) on a pro rata basis.

Persons who are not resident in New Zealand and who hold interests in New Shares through a New Zealand resident

nominee should not allow their nominee to accept the Offer if to do so would cause the Offer to be contrary to the

laws of their country of residence. Such persons can request Wellington to sell their Rights by contacting us via the

Company Secretary:

relevant laws pursuant to this Offer Document. We accept no responsibility for determining whether a Shareholder can

participate in the Offer under laws applicable outside New Zealand.

This Offer Document is intended for use only in connection with the Offer to Eligible Shareholders and does not

constitute an offer or invitation in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such

an offer or invitation.

Use of Proceeds

If the Offer is subscribed for in full, the total gross proceeds of the Offer received by Wellington will be $5.3 million, and

approximately $5.1 million net of fees and costs.

The purpose of the Offer is to raise new capital, which will be used by Wellington to fund accelerated investment in

new products, repayment of debt and to provide additional working capital flexibility.

Brokerage

If you sell your Rights or New Shares (following the Offer) on the NZX Main Board, you may be liable for normal

brokerage.

procedures. The NZX Main Board is a financial product market operated by NZX, a licensed market operator under

the FMCA.

be deemed to have not taken up your Rights to the balance of the New Shares and your shareholding will be

Payment of Application Monies

Payments in New Zealand dollars will only be accepted as follows:

• bank cheque or bank draft issued by and payable at any New Zealand bank; or

• direct credit or international payment (telegraphic transfer) to the New Zealand dollar trust account established by

Wellington (details of which are set out in the Entitlement and Acceptance Form); or

• personal cheque drawn on and payable at any New Zealand bank.

Applicants paying by direct credit or international payment must submit their payment instruction to their bank to make

payment by no later than 5:00 pm on the Closing Date (i.e. by 5:00 pm on 25 November 2019, or such other date as

we may determine).


Processing of applications and the banking of cheques will take place on the day of receipt by the Registrar (or the

first business day after that day if it is not a business day), with subscriptions received held in trust until the New

Shares are allotted. Receipts for payment will not be issued. The banking of Application Monies will not constitute

allotment of any New Shares. The New Shares are expected to be allotted by 29 November 2019 and Holding

Statements issued within one business day after that.

General

For applications to be valid, an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, properly completed, together with the

associated Application Monies, must be received by the Registrar no later than 5:00 pm New Zealand time on

25 November 2019.

We reserve the right to accept late applications but are not obliged to do so.

Applications for the issue of New Shares (including, if relevant, additional New Shares under the Oversubscription

Facility) cannot be revoked or withdrawn.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Offer Document, an Entitlement and Acceptance Form submitted by

you will constitute an irrevocable offer by you to subscribe for and acquire the number of New Shares (including, if

relevant, additional New Shares under the Oversubscription Facility) which you have specified on the Entitlement

and Acceptance Form (or such lesser number as we may determine) on the terms and conditions set out in this Offer

Document and on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form. By submitting an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, you

agree to be bound by these terms and conditions and our constitution.

Entitlement and Acceptance Forms must be completed in full and may be rejected if any details are not entered. If

the Application Monies accompanying your Entitlement and Acceptance Form are incorrect, your Entitlement and

Acceptance Form may still be treated as valid. You will not under any circumstances be treated as having offered to

purchase a greater number of New Shares than the number for which payment is made.

If we receive, on or before 5:00 pm on the Closing Date, both an acceptance and a renunciation (sale or transfer) by

you in respect of the same Rights, the renunciation (sale or transfer) will take priority to the acceptance.

If Application Monies are paid by a cheque which does not clear by, or a direct credit or international payment that is

not processed by, the Closing Date, that application may be rejected or an allotment made to you may be cancelled.

Any Rights in respect of a rejected application or cancelled amount will be made available to Eligible Shareholders

participating in the Oversubscription Facility.

Our decision on the number of New Shares (including, if relevant, additional New Shares) to be allotted to you and as

to whether to reject an Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or to treat it as valid (and then how to construe, amend or

complete the Entitlement and Acceptance Form), will be final. We reserve the right to reject any application we believe

comes from a person who does not meet the eligibility criteria for the Offer.

If you need any assistance you should contact an NZX Firm, lawyer, accountant or other professional adviser.
