Kingfish – Offer Documentation Released

Capital Raise4 February 2020KFLFinancials

Dear Shareholder,
On 5 February 2020 the Board of Kingfish Limited (NZX: KFL) (Kingfish) announced an issue of warrants.

The purpose of the issue of warrants is to raise capital as part of Kingfish’s ongoing capital management programme

and provide investors with the ability to purchase additional shares in Kingfish at a pre-determined exercise price. The

issue of warrants also aims to increase the size of the portfolio so as to improve operational efficiency. The net

proceeds are expected to be used for further investment in the Kingfish portfolio.

What is a Kingfish Warrant?

A Warrant gives the holder a right to buy one Share in Kingfish upon payment of the Exercise Price on the Exercise

Date (12 March 2021).

Who is eligible for the Kingfish warrants?

Warrants will be issued to Kingfish Shareholders with a registered address in New Zealand as at 5.00pm (New Zealand

time) on the Record Date (6 March 2020) (Eligible Shareholders). As long as you hold Kingfish shares at that time, you

will be entitled to receive one warrant for every four shares you hold. If you are a Kingfish shareholder but do not

have a registered address in New Zealand, your warrant entitlement will be issued to a separate registry account with

the Registrar and we will endeavour to sell the warrants on the NZX Main Board on your behalf.

How many Kingfish warrants do I get?

Each Eligible Shareholder will be issued one warrant for every four Shares held at 5.00pm (New Zealand time) on the

Record Date (6 March 2020), subject to rounding.

What do I need to do to receive the Kingfish warrants?

You do not need to do anything to be issued warrants. Computershare will send a statement informing you of your

new warrant holding. This is expected to be on or about 11 March 2020.

What can I do with the warrants?

 You can elect to exercise some or all of your warrants by 12 March 2021 via payment of the final Exercise Price

for those warrants. We will contact you again (in January 2021) before the Exercise Date, with details of the final

Exercise Price and provide you with the Exercise Form for you to complete and return to Computershare.

 You can seek to sell or transfer some or all of your warrants on the NZX Main Board until 5.00pm on 10 March

2021.

 You can elect to not exercise or sell any warrants and allow the warrants to lapse. If you do not exercise your

warrants, your shareholding in Kingfish will be diluted by other warrant holders who exercise their warrants.


If I want to exercise the warrants, how much will it cost?

$1.64 per warrant, to be adjusted down for the aggregate amount per Share of any cash dividends declared on

Kingfish Shares with a record date during the period commencing on the date of allotment of the warrants and ending

on the last Business Day before the final Exercise Price is announced by Kingfish.

The full terms of the warrants are set out in the document enclosed with this letter. The Board of Kingfish encourages

you to read the document in its entirety and discuss the terms with your financial adviser if you have any questions.


Yours sincerely

»allow their Warrants to lapse.

Any Warrants not exercised on the Exercise Date will lapse.

If you do not exercise your Warrants, your shareholding in

DETAILS OF THE OFFER

THE OFFER

1. Kingfish will grant one Warrant for

every four Shares held by an Eligible

Shareholder of Kingfish at 5.00pm

(New Zealand time) on the Record

Date (6 March 2020).

2. The purpose of the issue of Warrants

is to raise capital as part of Kingfish’s

ongoing capital management

programme and provide investors

with the ability to purchase additional

shares in Kingfish at a pre-determined

Exercise Price. The issue of Warrants

also aims to increase the size of the

portfolio so as to improve operational

efficiency. The net proceeds are

expected to be used for further

investment in the Kingfish portfolio.

GRANT OF WARRANTS

3. Warrants will only be issued to

Shareholders with a registered

address in New Zealand as at

5.00pm (New Zealand time) on

the Record Date. Warrants will not

be issued to Kingfish’s overseas

Shareholders as Kingfish considers

that the legal requirements of other

jurisdictions in which Shareholders

have a registered address are such

that it would be unduly onerous

for Kingfish to issue Warrants to

Shareholders in those jurisdictions,

having regard to the low number

of such Shareholders and the

likely costs of complying with

overseas legal requirements. This

document is intended for use only in

connection with the Offer to Eligible

Shareholders.

4. Shareholders with a registered

address outside of New Zealand

as at 5.00pm (New Zealand time)

on the Record Date will have

the Warrants they would have

otherwise received, issued to a

separate registry account with the

Registrar. Kingfish will endeavour

to sell the Warrants on the NZX

Main Board and hold the proceeds

on trust and account to those

Shareholders on a pro rata basis

for the proceeds (net of costs).

There is no guarantee that these

Warrants will be able to be sold or

as to the amount of proceeds that

may be received from the sale of

the Warrants. Any Warrants which

cannot be sold will lapse on the

Exercise Date.

5. Warrant Holders who do not

have a registered address in New

Zealand and who have acquired

Warrants on the NZX Main Board

will be entitled to exercise those

Warrants (subject to compliance

with all legal requirements

applicable to them).

ROUNDING OF WARRANTS

6. If a Shareholder would receive a

fraction of a Warrant by applying

the 1:4 ratio, the number of

Warrants to be issued to that

Shareholder will be rounded up

to the nearest whole number.

kingsh limited /

WARRANT TERMS

for permission to quote the Warrants

on the NZX Main Board. All of

NZX’s requirements relating to that

application that can be complied

with on or before the date of this

document have been duly complied

with. However, the Warrants have

not been approved for trading and

NZX accepts no responsibility for any

statement in this document. NZX is

a licensed market operator and the

NZX Main Board is a licensed market

under the Financial Markets Conduct

Ac t 2013.

steps to ensure that the Shares are,

immediately after issue, quoted on the

NZX for permission to quote the

Warrants is declined, the issue of the

Warrants will not proceed.

TRANSFER

10. A Warrant may be transferred in the

same manner, and subject to the same

restrictions, as a Share. The Directors

will have the same powers in respect

of the approval of registration of a

transfer of Warrants as they have in

respect of a transfer of Shares.

11. A Warrant Holder who sells their

Warrants on the NZX Main Board

prior to exercise, may be liable to pay

brokerage fees. Following allotment,

the sale of Shares may be subject to

brokerage fees.

as provided otherwise in this

document); and

of Shareholders (or any group of

Shareholders).

Warrant Holder to:

a. vote at a meeting of Shareholders

declared by the Directors; or

Warrant, to be adjusted down for

the aggregate amount per Share

final Exercise Price per Warrant

will be calculated to the nearest

one hundredth of a cent and then

whole cent.

15. If you choose to exercise any

You can also request an Exercise

Form by contacting Kingfish or the

17. The completed Exercise Form

must be lodged with payment

(in a manner prescribed by

Kingfish in the Exercise Form) of

an amount equal to the Exercise

Price multiplied by the number of

Warrants being exercised, in time

later than 5.00pm (New Zealand

time) on the Exercise Date. Further

instructions for completing and

returning the Exercise Form will be

set out in the form.

18. Kingfish may accept or reject any

Exercise Form which it considers to

have been completed incorrectly,

and may correct any errors or

omissions on any Exercise Form.

If there is a discrepancy between

the amount of application monies

(by way of direct credit or cheque)

and the number of Warrants being

exercised as indicated on the

Exercise Form, Kingfish will treat the

application as being for the number

of Warrants being exercised as the

application monies will pay for.

19. Until the allotment of Shares,

funds received by Kingfish for the

exercise of Warrants will be held

in a trust account by the Registrar

for the benefit of the relevant

Warrant Holders according to

their respective entitlements and

for Kingfish. Any interest on those

funds will be paid to Kingfish.

ALLOTMENT OF SHARES

20. All Shares issued on the exercise of

Warrants will be fully paid ordinary

shares and rank equally with all

other Shares on issue at the date of

allotment (including on a liquidation of

Kingfish). Kingfish will allot Shares to

Warrant Holders who validly exercise

their Warrants within five Business

Days after the Exercise Date.

21. If you are an existing Shareholder

who chooses not to exercise

their Warrant entitlement, your

shareholding in Kingfish will be

diluted if other Warrant Holders

exercise Warrants and the total

number of Shares on issue in Kingfish

increases as a result.

22. Shares issued on the exercise

of Warrants will be entitled to

participate in dividends declared

on the Shares which have a record

date after the date of allotment of the

Shares.

23. Kingfish currently has a distribution

policy as at the date of this document

to pay Shareholders (but not Warrant

Holders) 2% of the company’s

average net asset value (NAV) per

quarter. Payments are usually made

in March, June, September and

December of each year. A copy of

Kingfish’s Distribution Policy, which

could be changed at any time in

the future, is available at www.

kingfish.co.nz/about-kingfish/

kingfish-policies/ under the heading

‘Distribution Policy’.

ADJUSTMENTS FOR CHANGES TO

CAPITAL STRUCTURE

24. The Exercise Price may be varied

before the Exercise Date if Kingfish’s

capital is restructured, such as upon a

rights issue, bonus issue, convertible

securities issue, share consolidation

or subdivision or a cancellation or

buyback of Shares. The adjustment

process is described further below.

a. If Kingfish makes a rights issue of

Shares to Shareholders before the

Exercise Date (a “Rights Issue”),

then the Exercise Price of any

Warrants will (subject to alternative

adjustments in accordance with

paragraph (b) or (c) below) be

adjusted in accordance with the

following formula:

EP

new

= the new Exercise Price of

the Warrants

EP

old

= the old Exercise Price of the

Warrants

E = the number of Shares into

which one Warrant is

exercisable

AP = the average market price

per Share (weighted by

reference to volume) during

the five Business Days

ending on the day before

the ex date for the rights

issue

S = the subscription price for a

Share under the rights issue

D = any dividend due but not yet

paid on the existing Shares

(except dividends to be

issued under the rights issue)

N = the number of Shares with

rights or entitlements that

must be held to receive a

right to one new Share

The necessary adjustment will

be determined by the Board by

applying the formula set out above.

The Director’s determination will, in

the absence of manifest error, be

binding on all Warrant Holders and

other persons. Any adjustment so

determined will be made, and take

effect, on the Business Day following

the record date for the rights issue.

b. If Kingfish makes a bonus issue to

Shareholders, then the Board may

resolve that the number of Shares

over which a Warrant is exercisable

be increased (or additional Shares

may be reserved for issue on

exercise of the Warrants) by the

number of Shares which the Warrant

Holder would have received if that

Warrant had been exercised before

the record date of the bonus issue.

c. If Kingfish makes a consolidation or

subdivision or similar proportionate

reconstruction of the Shares, the

number of Shares over which a

Warrant is exercisable may be

consolidated or subdivided in the

same ratio and the Exercise Price

amended in inverse proportion to

that ratio.

d. If, notwithstanding the adjustment

procedures permitted, Kingfish’s

capital is restructured (including a

rights issue, bonus issue, convertible

securities issue, consolidation,

subdivision, cancellation or Share

buyback) and the Board determines,

upon the advice of an Independent

Expert, that:

i. the application of the formula

under paragraph (a), an

adjustment permitted by

paragraph (b) or the non-

applicability of both such

clauses may produce a result

which is prejudicial or unduly

advantageous (based on

reasonable grounds) to Warrant

Holders; or

ii. an alternative adjustment that is

not envisaged in paragraph (a),

(b) or (c) could be applied,

then the number of Warrants held,

the number of Shares over which

a Warrant is exercisable, and the

Exercise Price, or any combination

thereof, may, to the extent necessary,

be altered in a manner determined

by the Board, upon the advice of

an Independent Expert and subject

always to the Listing Rules or relief

granted from any applicable Listing

Rule, to ensure that Warrant Holders

are not prejudiced (nor unduly

advantaged or disadvantaged) by

the reconstruction of capital, and

in all other respects the terms of the

Warrants will remain unchanged.

Any such adjustment will be final and

binding on all Warrant Holders.
