Dear Serko Shareholder

SERKO LIMITED – SHARE PURCHASE PLAN

On behalf of the board of directors of Serko Limited (Serko

SerkoSerko

Serko), I am pleased to provide Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe

for new ordinary shares (Shares

SharesShares

Shares) in Serko through this Share Purchase Plan (SPP

SPPSPP

SPP). Eligible Shareholders are all persons who are

recorded in Serko’s share register at 5.00pm on 23 October 2019 as being a holder of Serko Shares and having an address in New

Zealand or Australia.

The SPP is part of Serko’s equity raising initiative announced on 24 October 2019, whereby Serko announced that it had undertaken a

targeted placement to issue NZ$40.0 million of Shares to Booking Holdings Inc. and New Zealand and Australian institutional investors

at a price of NZ$4.04 per Share (the Placement). The SPP is capped at NZ$5.0 million in total to take the total capital raised by Serko

to a maximum of NZ$45.0 million. The Placement and SPP will provide Serko with further capital to invest in its growth strategy,

including to:

• Accelerate the provisioning of Serko Zeno into North America and continental Europe

• Deliver expanded content channels across the global travel management company (“TMC”) reseller community

• Increase the scale of the company to deliver and support its growing customer base and future opportunities arising from

increased demand experienced since its previous capital raise in August 2018 and to support the projected expansion from

the Booking.com agreement. As a result, Serko expects to increase personnel significantly from its current level of

employees and to invest in operations, systems and management capabilities commensurate with its expanded

opportunities.

In addition to the Placement, certain Serko directors and employees (including myself (Chair) and Darrin Grafton (CEO)) have

collectively sold down approximately NZ$16 million of Serko Shares at NZ$4.04 per Share.

The board considers that it is important to offer an SPP to all eligible New Zealand and Australian shareholders of Serko to enable

them to participate in the capital raising and acquire new Serko Shares. Each Eligible Shareholder may elect to subscribe for up to

NZ$15,000 / AU$13,950 of Serko Shares (being the maximum amount currently permitted under Listing Rule 4.3.1(c) of the NZX Listing

Rules), in share parcels which are multiples of NZ$1,000 / AU$930, subject to scaling.

The price per Share of the SPP will be the lower of the price paid by investors in Serko’s recent Placement, being NZ$4.04 per Share,

and the five day VWAP during the last five days of the SPP offer period. Furthermore, the SPP provides Eligible Shareholders the

opportunity to purchase additional Shares in Serko without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.

Details of the SPP, including terms and conditions of the offer and an explanation of how you can participate, are contained in this

document and the Application Form. All documents relating to the SPP are also available online at

www.serkoshareoffer.com. We

encourage you to read these documents carefully before you decide whether to participate. You should note that if the total demand

for Shares under the SPP exceeds NZ$5.0 million, applications will be scaled back on a proportionate basis in accordance with the

number of Serko Shares held by the Applicant on the Record Date (being 5.00pm on 23 October 2019).

You can find more information about Serko on our website:

www.serko.com/investors. We also suggest that you seek financial,

investment or other professional advice before making an investment decision.

If you wish to participate in the SPP, you must ensure that your Application Form (and, if you are a Custodian as defined in clause 4.1 of

the Terms and Conditions, your Custodian Certificate), is completed online no later than 5.00pm New Zealand Time on 15 November



2019. Online applications or Application Forms returned by mail must be received by Serko’s Share Registrar, Link Market Services

Limited, no later than 5.00pm on 15 November 2019. Shares under the SPP are expected to be allotted on or around 22 November

2019, unless the Closing Date is extended.

The SPP provides an opportunity for existing shareholders to increase their shareholding in Serko at the same (or better) price that

Booking Holdings and institutional investors paid for their Shares.

On behalf of the board, we encourage you to consider this opportunity and sincerely thank you for your ongoing support of Serko.

Yours sincerely


Simon Botherway

Chairman

Serko Limited

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

DEFINED WORDS AND EXPRESSIONS USED IN THIS

SHARE PURCHASE PLAN ARE CAPITALISED - SEE

THE GLOSSARY FOR THEIR DEFINITION. THESE

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ARE A SUMMARY

ONLY AND YOU SHOULD REFER TO THE TERMS

AND CONDITIONS FOR FURTHER INFORMATION.


1. WHAT IS THE SHARE PURCHASE PLAN?

The SPP allows Eligible Shareholders to purchase Shares in

Serko without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.

You are eligible to participate in the SPP if you are a

shareholder of Serko and:

a) you were registered as a holder of fully paid Shares

at 5.00pm on the Record Date, which is 23

October 2019; and

b) your registered address is in New Zealand or

Australia; and

c) you do not hold the Shares on behalf of another

person who resides outside of New Zealand or

Australia.


2. WHAT IS THE PRICE OF THE SHARES AND

HOW MANY CAN I PURCHASE?

The Issue Price will be the lower of:

• NZ$4.04, being the price paid by investors in

Serko’s recent Placement (being a 4.9% premium

to the closing price of Serko Shares on the NZX of

NZ$3.85 on 22 October 2019); and

• the five day VWAP during the last five days of the

SPP offer period.

The Issue Price determined above is a New Zealand dollar

amount. If you apply for an Australian dollar amount of

Shares, Serko will convert the New Zealand dollar Issue Price

to Australian dollars at the NZ$:AU$ exchange rate published

by the New Zealand Reserve Bank on its website at 7:00pm

on the Closing Date. The market price of the Shares may

change between the Opening Date, the date you apply for

Shares under the SPP, and the Allotment Date. The risks

associated with this potential market fluctuation are described

in question 5 below.

Eligible Shareholders may elect to purchase parcels of Shares

in multiples of NZ$1,000 / A$930


up to a maximum of

NZ$15,000 / A$13,950, subject to scaling. If the exchange rate

varies such that the dollar amount you applied for exceeds

the NZ$15,000 regulatory limit, shares having a total issue

price equal to NZ$15,000 will be issued to you and you will be

refunded the excess cash amount.

If you wish to participate in the SPP, you should complete the

Application Form in accordance with the instructions set out

in question 6 below and elect a payment method, for the

value of the parcel selected. If you are a Custodian, you will

also need to complete and lodge together with your

Application Form a Custodian Certificate. To determine

whether you are a Custodian, and how to obtain a Custodian

Certificate, refer to clause 4 of the Terms and Conditions.

Serko reserves the right to, at its absolute discretion, scale any

application for Shares under the SPP. If Serko receives

applications in excess of $5.0 million, it will scale back all

applications on a proportionate basis in accordance with the

number of Serko Shares held by the Applicant (or, in the case

of an application made by a Custodian, the relevant beneficial

owner(s) named in the schedule submitted with the

Application Form) on the Record Date. The board of Serko

believes this is the most equitable manner in which to deal

with applications in excess of the funds required under the

SPP.

Any fractional Shares allocated under the SPP will be rounded

down to the nearest whole number of Shares.

All Shares issued under the SPP will be ordinary Shares of

Serko. Shareholders who subscribe under the SPP will be

eligible to participate in any future dividends to be declared

by Serko.


3. 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 Shares on your behalf, up to the NZ$15,000 /

A$13,950 limit. If you own Shares through a trustee or

Custodian and also own Shares in your own name, then you

may either purchase Shares yourself or instruct your trustee

or Custodian to purchase Shares on your behalf. You may

not do both.

If you receive more than one copy of this document, or if you

hold Shares in more than one capacity (e.g. because you are

both a sole and joint holder of Shares), the maximum amount

you may apply to invest under the SPP in all capacities, and in

aggregate, is NZ$15,000 / A$13,950. You may not purchase

some Shares on your own behalf and some Shares as a joint

holder. By applying to purchase Shares under the SPP, you

represent that you have not exceeded this NZ$15,000 /

A$13,950 limit.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and hold Shares as

Custodian, you may apply for up to NZ$15,000 / A$13,950

worth of new Shares for each beneficiary for whom you,

directly or indirectly, act as Custodian provided that you

complete, and submit, together with the Application Form, a




8



certificate (Custodian Certificate) certifying each of the

matters set out in section 4.4 of the Terms and Conditions of

this SPP.


4. IS THIS OFFER TRANSFERABLE TO

ANOTHER PERSON?

No. This offer is personal to you and non-renounceable, so if

you elect not to purchase any Shares under the SPP you may

not transfer your right to purchase Shares under the SPP to

anyone else.


5. WHAT ARE THE RISKS OF INVESTING IN

THE SPP?

The market price for the Shares may change between the

Opening Date, the date you apply for Shares under the SPP

and the Allotment Date. Accordingly, the price paid under

the SPP may be higher or lower than the price at which

Shares in Serko are trading on the NZX and ASX at the time

the Shares are issued to you under the SPP. The Share price

is quoted on the NZX website:

www.nzx.com and ASX

website: www.asx.com.au.

Eligible Shareholders may choose to subscribe for up to

NZ$15,000 / A$13,950 of Shares pursuant to the SPP, subject

to any scaling. As this is a fixed amount rather than

shareholders being permitted to subscribe for Shares in

accordance with their proportionate shareholding, large

shareholders may not be able to obtain sufficient Shares to

maintain their percentage shareholding, while smaller

shareholders may be able to increase their percentage

shareholding. If you do not subscribe for any Shares under

the SPP, and other shareholders do subscribe for Shares, then

your percentage shareholding in Serko will be reduced.


6. HOW DO I APPLY FOR SHARES UNDER THE

SPP?

If you wish to participate in the SPP, you can do so online at

www.serkoshareoffer.com. Alternatively, please follow the

step-by-step instructions set out on the reverse of the

enclosed personalised Application Form. If you are not

applying online, return your completed Application Form

(and, if applicable, your Custodian Certificate) with your

payment to the designated address. If the exact amount of

money is not tendered, Serko reserves the right not to accept

all or part of your payment. In those circumstances, Serko will

return your Application Form (and, if applicable, your

Custodian Certificate) and refund all or part of your payment

without interest.

If an Application Form is rejected, all of the amounts paid will

be refunded to the relevant Applicant. If applications are

scaled back, the Applicant will receive the number of Shares

at the Issue Price accepted by Serko following scaling and a

refund of the balance of the relevant payment amount. All

refunds will be made without interest. Refunds will be issued

within five business days following the Allotment Date (see

clause 6 of the Terms and Conditions for more information).

You will not be able to withdraw or revoke your Application

Form once you have sent it in.


7. HOW LONG IS THE SPP OPEN AND WHEN

WILL I RECEIVE MY SHARES?

The SPP opens on 31 October 2019 and is expected to close

at 5.00pm on 15 November 2019, unless extended. If you

want to participate you should ensure your application and

payment is received by 5.00pm on 15 November 2019. If you

are returning your Application Form by mail, please allow

adequate time for mail deliveries to be received. Applications

received after this time may not be accepted. Online

applications are encouraged.

You will receive Shares issued to you under the SPP on the

Allotment Date, which is currently expected to be on or

around 22 November 2019. Confirmation of the number of

Shares issued to you under the SPP will be sent on the

Despatch Date, currently expected to be on or around 22

November 2019.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

IF YOU APPLY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE SPP BY COMPLETING THE APPLICATION FORM ONLINE OR BY MAIL

(AND, IF APPLICABLE, A CUSTODIAN CERTIFICATE), YOU ARE ACCEPTING THE RISK THAT THE MARKET PRICE OF

SHARES MAY CHANGE BETWEEN THE OPENING DATE, THE DATE YOU APPLY FOR SHARES UNDER THE SPP, AND

THE ALLOTMENT DATE. THIS MEANS THAT IT IS POSSIBLE THAT UP TO OR AFTER THE ALLOTMENT DATE, YOU

MAY BE ABLE TO BUY SHARES AT A LOWER PRICE THAN THE ISSUE PRICE.

WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO SEEK YOUR OWN FINANCIAL ADVICE REGARDING YOUR PARTICIPATION IN THE SPP.

2. ELIGIBLE SHAREHOLDERS

2.1. You may participate in the SPP if you are an Eligible Shareholder. Joint holders of Shares are taken to be a single registered

holder of Shares for the purposes of determining whether they are an Eligible Shareholder and the certification on the

Application Form is taken to have been given by all of them.

2.2. If you are an Eligible Shareholder, your rights under this offer are personal to you and non-renounceable, so you may not

transfer them.

2.3. Serko accepts no liability where an Eligible Shareholder does not receive an Application Form, or does not receive the

Application Form in time.



3. ISSUE PRICE AND NUMBER OF SHARES

3.1. The Issue Price for Shares under the SPP is the lower of:

(a) NZ$4.04, being the price payable by investors in Serko’s recent Placement (being a 4.9% premium to the closing price on

NZX of NZ$3.85 on 22 October 2019); and

(b) the five day VWAP during the last five days of the SPP offer period.

3.2. Eligible Shareholders may elect to purchase parcels of Shares in multiples of NZ$1,000 / A$930 up to a maximum of

NZ$15,000 / A$13,950, subject to scaling, by filling in the appropriate box on the Application Form. Any fractional Shares

allocated under the SPP will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.

3.3. Eligible Shareholders may only make a single application for Shares under the SPP. This applies to all Eligible Shareholders,

including those who receive more than one offer under the SPP (for example, because they hold Shares in more than one

capacity) and including whether the Eligible Shareholder is applying through a Custodian or on his or her own behalf.

Accordingly, if you own Shares through a trustee or Custodian and also own Shares in your own name, then you may either

purchase Shares yourself or instruct your trustee or Custodian to purchase Shares on your behalf. You may not do both.




10



3.4. If Serko receives applications in excess of NZ$5.0 million, it will scale back all applications on a proportionate basis in

accordance with the number of Serko Shares held by the Applicant (or, in the case of an application made by a Custodian, the

relevant beneficial owner(s) named in the schedule submitted with the Application Form) on the Record Date. The board of

Serko believes this is the most equitable manner in which to deal with applications in excess of the funds required under the

SPP.


4. CUSTODIANS

4.1. Under the SPP, a Custodian is any Eligible Shareholder that:

(a) in the case of any Eligible Shareholder having a registered address in New Zealand, that:

(i) is a trustee corporation or a nominee company and holds Shares in Serko by reason only of acting for another person

in the ordinary course of business of that trustee corporation or nominee company; or

(ii) holds Shares in Serko by reason only of being a bare trustee of a trust to which the Shares are subject.

(b) in the case of any Eligible Shareholder having a registered address in Australia, provides a custodial or depository service

in relation to shares of Serko and who:

(i) holds an Australian financial services licence covering the provision of a custodial or depository service;

(ii) is exempt from the requirement to hold an Australian financial services licence covering the provision of a custodial or

depository service;

(iii) holds an Australian financial services licence covering the operation of an IDPS (as defined in ASIC Class Order

[CO/13/763]) or is a responsible entity of an IDPS-like scheme (as defined in ASIC Class Order [CO 13/762]);

(iv) is a trustee of a self-managed superannuation fund or a superannuation master trust; or

(v) is a registered holder of Shares and is noted on the register of members of Serko as holding the Shares on account of

another person.

4.2. Custodians may apply to purchase Shares for an amount greater than NZ$15,000 / A$13,950, provided that the Custodian only

applies for no more Shares than collectively have an aggregate application price of NZ$15,000 / A$13,950 for each beneficial

owner for whom the Custodian acts as a Custodian. Each beneficial owner may only direct the Custodian to apply on behalf

of that beneficial owner for a single share parcel.

4.3. Custodians must confirm to Serko that they are holding Shares as a Custodian for one or more beneficial owners and certify

the matters described in clause 4.4 below by providing a Custodian Certificate together with the Custodian’s Application Form.

To request a Custodian Certificate, or if you would like further information on how to apply for Shares as a Custodian, you

should contact Serko’s Share Registrar, Link Market Services Limited, at any time from 8:30am to 5:00pm (Monday to Friday)

prior to the Closing Date on (09) 375 5998 (for New Zealand residents) or on +61 1300 554 474 (for Australian residents).

4.4. If a Custodian applies to purchase Shares on behalf of one or more beneficial owners, the Custodian must certify to Serko in

6. SERKO’S DISCRETION TO ACCEPT OR REJECT APPLICATIONS

6.1. Serko has discretion to accept or reject your Application Form to purchase Shares under the SPP, including (without limitation)

if:

(a) your Application Form or Custodian Certificate (if applicable) is incorrectly completed or incomplete or otherwise

determined by Serko to be invalid;

(b) your payment is dishonoured or has not been completed correctly;

(c) the cheque that you enclose with your Application Form (and, if applicable, Custodian Certificate) is not denominated in

New Zealand dollars or Australian dollars, for the exact amount of the parcel that you have selected on the Application

Form;

(d) it appears that you are applying to buy more than NZ$15,000 / A$13,950 (in aggregate) of Shares (except if you are a

Custodian applying on behalf of more than one beneficial owners in accordance with clause 4.2);

(e) your Application Form, Custodian Certificate (if applicable) or payment is received after the Closing Date. While Serko has

discretion to accept late Application Forms, Custodian Certificates (if applicable) and payments, there is no assurance that

it will do so. Late Application Forms, Custodian Certificates (if applicable) and payments, if not processed, will be returned

to you at your registered address. No interest will be paid on any application money returned to you;

(f) Serko believes that you are not an Eligible Shareholder or Custodian; or

(g) Serko considers that your application does not comply with these Terms and Conditions.

6.2. Serko reserves the right to scale back at its absolute discretion any application for Shares under the SPP. If Serko receives

applications in excess of NZ$5.0 million, it will scale back all applications on a proportionate basis in accordance with the

number of Serko Shares held by the Applicant (or, in the case of an application made by a Custodian, the relevant beneficial

owner(s) named in the schedule submitted with the Application Form) on the Record Date. The board of Serko believes this is

the most equitable manner in which to deal with applications in excess of the funds required under the SPP.

6.3. If an application is rejected, all of the relevant amounts will be refunded to the Applicant. If applications are scaled back, the

Applicant will receive the number of Shares at the Issue Price in respect of which the application is accepted and a refund of

the balance of the relevant application payment. All refunds will be made without interest.

6.4. Refunds will either be made by direct credit to the bank account held by Serko’s Share Registrar, Link Market Services Limited,

or by a cheque payable to the relevant Applicant in their name(s), which will be posted to the address set out in the

Application Form. Refunds will be issued within five business days following the Allotment Date.


7. SIGNIFICANCE OF SENDING IN AN APPLICATION

7.1. If you apply to participate in the SPP by completing and returning the Application Form (and, if applicable a Custodian

Certificate):

(a) your application, on these Terms and Conditions, will be irrevocable and unconditional (i.e. it cannot be withdrawn);

(b) you certify to Serko that you are an Eligible Shareholder entitled to apply for Shares under these Terms and Conditions;

(c) you agree to be bound by the Constitution of Serko;

(d) you certify to Serko that you are not applying for Shares under the SPP with an application price in excess of NZ$15,000 /

A$13,950, even though you may have received more than one offer under the SPP or received offers in more than one

capacity under the SPP;

(e) without limiting Serko's discretion to accept or reject applications in section 6 above, you authorise Serko (and its officers

or agents) to correct any error in, or omission from, your Application Form (and, if applicable, your Custodian Certificate)

and to complete the Application Form (and, if applicable, the Custodian Certificate) by the insertion of any missing details;

(f) you acknowledge that Serko may at any time irrevocably determine that your Application Form (and, if applicable, your

Custodian Certificate) is valid, in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, even if the Application Form (or, as

applicable, your Custodian Certificate) is incomplete, contains errors or is otherwise defective;

(g) you accept the risk associated with any refund that may be despatched to you by cheque to your address shown on

Serko’s share register;

(h) you agree to indemnify Serko for, and to pay to Serko within five business days of demand, any dishonour fees or other

costs Serko may incur in presenting a cheque for payment which is dishonoured;

(i) you acknowledge that none of Serko, its advisers or agents has provided you with investment advice or financial product

advice, and that none of them has an obligation to provide advice concerning your decision to apply for and purchase

Shares under the SPP;

(j) you acknowledge the risk that the market price for the Shares may change between the Opening Date, the date you apply

for Shares under the SPP, and the Allotment Date. A change in market price during this period may affect the Issue Price

of the Shares you receive under the SPP;

(k) you acknowledge that Serko is not liable for any exercise of its discretions referred to in these Terms and Conditions; and




13



(l) you irrevocably and unconditionally agree to these Terms and Conditions and agree not to do any act or thing which

would be contrary to the spirit, intention or purpose of the SPP.

7.2. If a Custodian applies to purchase Shares under the SPP for a beneficial owner pursuant to clause 4.2:

(a) the certification referred to in clause 7.1(d) will be taken to be given by the beneficial owner on whose behalf the

Custodian is applying to purchase Shares; and

(b) in addition to the matters referred to in clause 7.1, the Custodian also certifies each of the matters set out in the Custodian

Certificate.


8. THE SHARES

8.1. Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with, and have the same voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements as,

existing fully paid Shares in Serko quoted on the NZX and ASX (licensed markets under the Financial Markets Conduct Act

2013). The Shares have been accepted for quotation on the NZX and ASX (licensed market operators under the Financial

Markets Conduct Act 2013) and it is expected that the Shares will be quoted upon completion of the allotment procedures.

However, neither NZX Limited nor ASX Limited accepts any responsibility for any statement in this document.


9. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

9.1. You may obtain free of charge the most recent annual report and financial statements of Serko by contacting Serko's Share

Registrar, Link Market Services, or you may download the reports from the Serko website:

http://www.serko.com/investors.


10. AMENDMENTS TO THE SPP AND WAIVER OF COMPLIANCE

10.1. Notwithstanding any other term or condition of the SPP and/or the Application Form, Serko may, at its discretion:

(a) make non-material modifications to the SPP or these Terms and Conditions (in which case applications for Shares under

the SPP will remain binding on the Applicant notwithstanding such modification and irrespective of whether an Application

Form was received by Link Market Services Limited, before or after such modification is made); and/or

(b) suspend or terminate the SPP at any time prior to the issue of the Shares under the SPP. If the SPP is terminated,

application monies will be refunded to Applicants without interest.

10.2. Serko reserves the right to waive compliance with any provision of these Terms and Conditions. If Serko waives compliance

with any provision of these Terms and Conditions, such waiver will apply to all Eligible Shareholders.


11. GOVERNING LAW

11.1. These Terms and Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand.


12. DISPUTES

12.1. If any dispute arises in connection with the SPP, Serko may settle it in any manner it thinks fit. It may do so generally or in

relation to any particular participant, application or Share. Serko’s decision will be final and binding.


13. INCONSISTENCY

13.1. Unless otherwise determined by the directors of Serko, in the event of any inconsistency between the Terms and Conditions of

the SPP and Serko’s constitution, Serko’s constitution shall prevail.
