Vista Group announces NZ$65 million equity raising
16 April 2020
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
VISTA GROUP INTERNATIONAL LIMITED ANNOUNCES NZ$65 MILLION EQUITY
RAISING TO IMPROVE BALANCE SHEET FLEXIBILITY AND LIQUIDITY
Vista Group International Limited (Vista Group) has announced its intention to raise approximately NZ$65
million via a NZ$25 million underwritten placement (Placement) to institutional investors, together with an
approximately NZ$40 million 1 for 4.37 pro-rata non-renounceable accelerated entitlement offer (Entitlement
Offer) (together the Offer). Founders, directors and senior management have committed to subscribe for $4.7
million of the New Shares to be issued, with the balance of the equity raise fully underwritten by Macquarie
Capital (New Zealand) Limited (acting through and in conjunction with its affiliates) and Craigs Investment
Partners Limited.
Chairman, Kirk Senior said “The outbreak of COVID-19 and the actions taken by governments in response, are
having, and will continue to have, a substantial impact on Vista Group and the global film industry more
generally. Almost all of our customers are significantly impacted by the restriction of movement and the duration
of cinema closures is unpredictable. The equity raising combined with the already announced measures to
reduce operating costs, defer certain capital expenditure projects and cancelling the FY19 final dividend provide
a comprehensive plan to strengthen and provide liquidity to the business in order to remain well capitalised
during this difficult time and, importantly, position Vista Group for growth post COVID-19.”
Key highlights
Vista Group is undertaking a NZ$65 million equity raising at an offer price of NZ$1.05 per share via a
NZ$25 million underwritten Placement, together with an approximately $40 million 1 for 4.37
Entitlement Offer to support the business through the significant disruption caused by the COVID-19
pandemic. NZ$35.3 million of the Entitlement Offer is underwritten, with the balance having been
committed to by founders, directors and executive management.
Vista Group entered the COVID-19 pandemic with a strong underlying business as a global leader in
software and data solutions for the film industry.
The impact of COVID-19 on the film industry globally has been substantial and is expected to be
material on the operational and financial performance of Vista Group. Vista Group is actively engaged
with its customers to help support them through this difficult time. While Vista Group expects to
continue booking recurring revenue, it is working with its customers to manage their payment
schedules.
Vista Group has announced a number of proactive initiatives to increase its financial flexibility, having
acted quickly to reduce costs and capital expenditure.
The Board believes it prudent to also pursue an equity raising to improve balance sheet flexibility and
ensure it remains well capitalised during this period and is well placed to trade and take advantage of
opportunities post COVID-19.
Post the equity raising, Vista Group expects to have liquidity of approximately NZ$125 million,
comprising cash and existing undrawn facilities (NZ$18 million of which is specifically available to fund
the SaaS development project). In addition, Vista Group has engaged with, and continues to be well
supported by its debt provider.
Notwithstanding this temporary period of uncertain economic outlook, Vista Group is well positioned for
recovery when cinemas begin to re-open, being the largest provider of business-critical software and
data analytics solutions to the global film industry.
Improving balance sheet flexibility and liquidity position
Whilst the health and safety of its staff and customers remains Vista Group’s paramount concern, Vista Group’s
management and Board have taken decisive action to address the impacts of COVID-19 on its business,
maintain business continuity and increase the business’ financial flexibility.
Vista Group has already announced a number of cost control and cash flow support initiatives covering people,
capital expenditure, leases and other operating expenditure. The government wage subsidy scheme in New
Zealand is also contributing to offset labour costs. Specific detail is outlined in the investor presentation that
accompanies this announcement.
Vista Group has also been actively engaging with its debt provider who remains supportive through existing
facilities. Vista Group had $40 million of cash as at 31 March 2020 and $23 million of additional headroom
across its current debt facility, of which $18 million is specifically available to fund the SaaS development
project. Following completion of the Offer, Vista Group anticipates it will have sufficient liquidity to comply with its
financial covenants through to 31 December 2021 under downside scenarios.
In addition to the above measures, the Board believes it is prudent to pursue an equity raising to improve
liquidity and balance sheet flexibility and ensure Vista Group remains well capitalised during this period. The
additional liquidity provided by the equity raise is expected to provide Vista Group with the ability to meet its
cash flow obligations through to 31 December 2021 under downside scenarios and provide flexibility to
commence capital spend, continued SaaS conversion and growth projects in line with recovery post COVID-19.
Equity raising details
The fully underwritten NZ$65 million equity raise comprises a NZ$25 million Placement and an NZ$40 million
Entitlement Offer.
Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders may subscribe for 1 new ordinary share for every 4.37 existing
shares held as at 7.00pm (NZST) (5.00pm (AEST)) on the Record Date of Monday 20 April 2020, at an
application price of NZ$1.05 per new share (the final Australian dollar offer price will be the Australian dollar
equivalent of NZ$1.05 Australian determined using a closing AUD/NZD exchange rate on Thursday, 16 April
2020 and announced by Vista on Friday, 17 April 2020). The application price reflects a 25.0% discount to
NZ$1.40, being the last closing price of Vista Group’s shares on the NZX on Wednesday 15 April 2020, and a
19.5% discount to the theoretical ex-rights price of NZ$1.31 (TERP)
1
.
The transaction will be supported by Vista Group’s founders, directors and senior management who have
committed to subscribe for $4.7 million of new shares, and the balance of the equity raise is fully underwritten.
1
TERP is the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price at which Vista Group’s ordinary shares would trade immediately after the ex-rights date for the Offer. TERP is
calculated with reference to Vista Group’s closing share price of NZ$1.40 on 15 April 2020 and includes all new shares issued under the placement and the
Offer. TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which Vista Group’s ordinary shares will trade immediately after the ex-rights date for
the Offer will depend on many factors and may not be equal to TERP
Placement details
The Placement to institutional investors will raise $25 million at the offer price of $1.05 per share. The Placement
comprises the issue of 23.8 million shares to eligible, sophisticated and other institutional investors located in
New Zealand, Australia and other selected international jurisdictions. The placement represents 10.4% of Vista
Group’s ordinary shares on issue following the Entitlement Offer.
The Placement is within Vista Group’s existing capacity under NZX Listing Rule 4.5 and accordingly no
shareholder approval is required to issue the New Shares.
Settlement of the Placement is scheduled to take place on Thursday 23 April 2020 on ASX and Friday 24 April
2020 on NZX, with commencement of trading of new shares on the NZX and ASX on Friday 24 April 2020.
Entitlement offer details
The 1 for 4.37 Entitlement Offer will raise a total of approximately $40m at an application price of $1.05 per
share. The Entitlement Offer will be conducted in two parts, a component to institutional investors (Institutional
Entitlement Offer) and a component to retail shareholders (Retail Entitlement Offer). The Entitlement Offer is
non-renounceable, and entitlements will not be tradeable or otherwise transferrable.
Eligible shareholders under the Institutional Entitlement Offer include sophisticated, professional and other
institutional shareholders located in Australia, New Zealand and select international jurisdictions as at 7.00pm
(NZST) on the Record Date of Monday 20 April 2020 (Eligible Institutional Shareholders). The Institutional
Entitlement Offer will be accelerated and will close on Thursday 16 April 2020.
The Retail Entitlement Offer will be offered to eligible retail shareholders with registered addresses in Australia
and New Zealand as at 7.00pm (NZST) on the Record Date (Eligible Retail Shareholders). The Retail
Entitlement Offer will open on Thursday 23 April 2020, and close on Tuesday 5 May 2020 (unless extended).
Provided they have taken up their full entitlement, eligible retail shareholders may also apply for additional new
shares not taken up by other retail shareholders up to a maximum of 40% above their pro-rata entitlement.
2
The
Retail Offer Document, containing full details of the Entitlement Offer, will be sent to Eligible Retail Shareholders
on Thursday 23 April 2020.
The rights will not be listed on NZX or ASX and there will be no shortfall bookbuild for those entitlements not
taken up. Those shareholders who do not exercise their entitlements, or who are ineligible to do so, will have
their shareholdings diluted. Retail shareholders are strongly encouraged to complete applications online via
www.vistashareoffer.co.nz given the likelihood of delays with the postal system at this time. Those that do apply
for shares by postal applications are strongly encouraged to mail their applications as early as possible during
the offer period.

Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up 140% of their Entitlements in the Offer will be diluted by approximately 4.5%.

NZ$40m underwritten 1 for 4. 37 pro-rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (the Offer).
Vist a enter ed the COVID-19 pandemic with a stro ng underlying business as a global leader in software
and data solutions for the film i ndustry. However, as you will be awar e from our recent announcements,
COVID-19 has had, and will conti nue to have, a substantial impact on Vist a and the global film industry
more generally. Almost all of Vista’s customers are either clos ed or significantly impacted by the restriction
of movement imposed by governments ar ound th e worl d and will take tim e to recover. Vista is actively
engaging with its customers to help support them through this difficult time. While Vista expects to
conti nue booking recurri ng revenue, it is worki ng with customers to mana ge their payment schedules.
Vist a has announced a number of proactive initiatives to increase its financial flexibility, having acted
quickly to reduce costs and capital expenditure. This has inclu ded director and senior leadership salary
reductions, reduc ed working hours for staff, lower marketing sp end, cancelling its agreement to acquire a
further 14.5% of Vista Entertainment Solutions (Shanghai) Limited (or Vista China), and suspending all
discretionary capital expenditure. The government wage subsidy is also helping to offset labour costs in
New Zealand.
Vista has also been actively engaging with its debt provider who remains supportive through existing
facilities. Vista had $40m of cash as at 31 March 2020 and $23 million of additional headroom across its
current debt facility, of which $18 million is specifically available to fund the SaaS development project.
Following completion of the Offer, Vista anticipates it will have sufficient liquidity to comply with its financial
covenants through to 31 December 2021 under downside scenarios.
In addition to the above measures, your board believes it is prudent to pursue an equity raising to improve
liquidity and balance sheet flexibility and ensure Vista remains well capitalised during this period. The
additional liquidity provided by the equity raise is expected to provide Vista with the ability to meet its cash
flow obligations through to 31 December 2021 under downside scenarios and provide flexibility to
commence capital spend, continued SaaS conversion and growth projects in line with recovery post
COVID-19.
Under the Offer, eligible shareholders may subscribe for 1 new ordinary share for every 4.37 existing
shares held as at 7.00pm (NZST) (5.00pm AEST)) on the Record Date of 20 April 2020, at an Offer Price
of NZ$1.05 per new share (or the A$ Price). The Offer Price reflects a 25.0% discount to NZ$1.40, being
the last closing price of Vista’s shares on the NZX on 15 April 2020, and a 19.5% discount to the
theoretical ex-rights price of NZ$1.31 (TERP).

The placement and the institutional component of the Offer will be accelerated and will close on 16 April
2020. Eligible Retail Shareholders have until 5.00pm (NZST) on 5 May 2020 to subscribe for New Shares.

bookbuild for those Entitlements not taken up. Those shareholders who do not exercise their Entitlements,
or who are ineligible to do so, will have their shareholdings diluted.

TERP is the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price at which Vista’s ordinary shares would trade immediately after the ex-rights date for
the Offer. TERP is calculated with reference to Vista’s closing share price of NZ$1.40 on 15 April 2020 and includes all new

to TERP

Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up 140% of their Entitlements in the Offer will be diluted by approximately 4.5%.

PART 4: DETAILS OF THE OFFER
THE OFFER
The Offer is an offer of New Shares to Eligible Shareholders under a pro rata accelerated non-
renounceable entitlement offer. Under the Offer, Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 New
Share for every 4.37 Existing Shares held at 7:00pm (NZST) or 5:00pm (AEST) on the Record Date. The
New Shares will be the same class as, and will rank equally with, Existing Shares which are quoted on the
NZX Main Board and ASX. It is a term of the Offer that Vista will take any necessary steps to ensure that
the New Shares are, immediately after issue, quoted on the NZX Main Board and ASX.
If you are an Eligible Shareholder you may take up all or some of your Entitlements or do nothing with all
or some of your Entitlements. If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you do not take up all of your
Entitlements, your current shareholding will be diluted as a result of the issue of New Shares. Eligible
Retail Shareholders who take up 140% of their Entitlements in the Offer will be diluted by approximately
4.5%.
The maximum number of New Shares being offered under the Offer is 38,139,099 New Shares (subject to
rounding). Vista will raise a total of approximately NZ$40 million through the Offer, which is fully
underwritten by the Underwriters (except in respect of the $4.7 million of New Shares for which Vista’s
founders, directors and senior management have committed to subscribe).
APPLICATION PRICE
The Application Price is NZ$1.05 (or the A$ Price) per New Share.
The A$ Price will be the Australian dollar equivalent of NZ$1.05 determined using a closing AUD/NZD
exchange rate on Thursday, 16 April 2020. The A$ Price will be announced by Vista on Friday, 17 April
2020. The Application Price must be paid in full on application. Payment of the Application Price must be
made, for the Retail Entitlement Offer, together with a completed Entitlement and Acceptance Form
delivered (either by mail, delivery or email) to the Registry in accordance with the instructions set out in
the Entitlement and Acceptance Form or in accordance with the online application process.
If you elect to apply for New Shares using New Zealand Dollars, any New Shares issued to you will be
issued on Vista’s NZX branch register. If you elect to apply for New Shares using the A$ Price, any New
Shares issued to you will be issued on Vista’s ASX branch register.
Vista may accept late applications and application monies, but it has no obligation to do so. Vista may
accept or reject (at its discretion) any Entitlement and Acceptance Form or online application which it
considers is not completed correctly, and may correct any errors or omissions on any Entitlement and
Acceptance Form or the online application.
An application may not be withdrawn without Vista prior consent once submitted.
Application monies received will be held in a trust account with the Registry 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 Vista and will be retained by Vista whether or not the issue
of New Shares takes place. Any refunds of application monies (without interest) will be made within 10
Business Days of allotment (or the date that the decision not to accept an application is made, as the case
may be).
12
WITHDRAWAL
Subject to Vista’s compliance with all applicable laws, Vista reserves the right to withdraw the Offer at any
time at its absolute discretion. If any Application is not accepted, all applicable application monies will be
refunded, without interest, to the relevant Shareholder.
OVERVIEW OF THE OFFER
Vista will raise a total of approximately NZ$40 million through the Offer, which is fully underwritten by the
Underwriters (except in respect of the $4.7 million of New Shares for which Vista’s founders, directors and
senior management have committed to subscribe). The maximum number of New Shares that are being
offered under the Offer is 38,139,099 New Shares (subject to rounding).
The Offer comprises the following components:
• the Institutional Entitlement Offer; and
• the Retail Entitlement Offer,
in each case, as described in further detail below.
The Offer is an accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer, which is made pursuant to a class waiver
by NZX granted 26 March 2020. This means that if you, as an Eligible Shareholder, do not take up your
full Entitlement under the Offer, then your Entitlement will lapse, and you will receive no value for those
lapsed Entitlements. Further, if you do not take up your Entitlement, you will have your percentage holding
in Vista reduced as a result of the Offer.
PURPOSE OF THE OFFER
Vista intends that the proceeds raised from the Offer will be applied to enhance balance sheet strength
and financial flexibility with a view to supporting the business through to December 2021.
THE INSTITUTIONAL ENTITLEMENT OFFER
Overview of the Institutional Entitlement Offer
Vista is offering Eligible Institutional Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every
4.37 Existing Shares held as at 7:00pm (NZST) or 5:00pm (AEST) on the Record Date, at an Application
Price of NZ$1.05 (or the A$ Price). This ratio and the Application Price are the same as for the Retail
Entitlement Offer. The Joint Lead Managers will seek to approach Eligible Institutional Shareholders, who
may take up all, part or none of their Entitlements.
The Institutional Entitlement Offer opens at 9:30 am (NZST) or 7:30 am (AEST) on Thursday, 16 April
2020 and closes at 8.00pm (NZST) or 6.00pm (AEST) on Thursday, 16 April 2020 (subject to Vista’s right
to modify these dates or times).
Entitlements will not be quoted and cannot be traded on the NZX Main Board, the ASX or privately
transferred.
Eligibility under the Institutional Entitlement Offer
The Institutional Entitlement Offer is only open to Eligible Institutional Shareholders. The Underwriters will
determine the Shareholders who will be treated as Eligible Institutional Shareholders for the purpose of
determining the Shareholders to whom an offer of New Shares will be made under the Institutional
Entitlement Offer. In exercising their discretion, the Underwriters may have regard to a number of matters,
including legal and regulatory requirements and logistical and registry constraints. The Underwriters will
determine which Shareholders will be treated as Ineligible Institutional Shareholders.
13
Vista reserves the right to reject any application for New Shares under the Institutional Entitlement Offer
that it considers comes from a person who is not an Eligible Institutional Shareholder.
Acceptance of Entitlement under the Institutional Entitlement Offer
The Joint Lead Managers may seek to contact Eligible Institutional Shareholders to inform them of the
terms and conditions of participation in the Institutional Entitlement Offer and seek confirmation of their
Entitlements under the Offer. Application for New Shares by Eligible Institutional Shareholders can only
be made in accordance with that process.
Entitlements are not rounded up to a minimum holding. The number of New Shares to which an Eligible
Institutional Shareholder is entitled under an Entitlement will, in the case of fractions of New Shares, be
rounded down to the nearest whole number. Applications in excess of an Eligible Institutional
Shareholder’s Entitlement will not be accepted.
New Shares attributable to the Institutional Entitlement Offer not taken up by Eligible Institutional
Shareholders under the Institutional Entitlement Offer and the entitlements of certain Ineligible Institutional
Shareholders may, subject to demand, be allocated to Institutional Investors who participate in the
institutional placement or as Vista and the Underwriters may otherwise agree.
Settlement of the Institutional Entitlement Offer
Settlement of the Institutional Entitlement Offer will occur on the Institutional Settlement Date in
accordance with arrangements advised by the Joint Lead Managers. Each investor remains responsible
for ensuring its own compliance with the Takeovers Code and other applicable legislation.
THE RETAIL ENTITLEMENT OFFER
Overview of the Retail Entitlement Offer
Vista is offering Eligible Retail Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 4.37
Existing Shares held as at 7.00pm (NZST) or 5.00pm (AEST) on the Record Date, at an Application Price
of NZ$1.05 (or the A$ Price) per New Share. This ratio and the Application Price are the same as for the
Institutional Entitlement Offer. Eligible Retail Shareholders are sent this Offer Document together with a
personalised Entitlement and Acceptance Form and may take up all, part or none of their Entitlements.
The Retail Entitlement Offer opens on Thursday, 23 April 2020 and closes at 5.00pm (NZST) or 3.00pm
(AEST) on Tuesday, 5 May 2020 (subject to Vista’s right to modify these dates or times).
Entitlements will not be quoted and cannot be traded on the NZX Main Board, the ASX or privately
transferred.
Eligibility under the Retail Entitlement Offer
The Retail Entitlement Offer is only open to Eligible Retail Shareholders.
The Retail Entitlement Offer does not constitute an offer to any person who is not an Eligible Retail
Shareholder (including any Institutional Shareholder or an Ineligible Retail Shareholder). Any person
allocated New Shares under the Institutional Entitlement Offer does not have any entitlement to participate
in the Retail Entitlement Offer in respect of those New Shares.
Vista reserves the right to reject any application for New Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer that it
considers comes from a person who is not an Eligible Retail Shareholder.
14
Acceptance of Entitlement under the Retail Entitlement Offer
The Entitlement and Acceptance Form distributed to Eligible Retail Shareholders with this Offer Document
sets out an Eligible Retail Shareholder’s Entitlement to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.
Applications for New Shares by Eligible Retail Shareholders can only be made on an original Entitlement
and Acceptance Form sent with this Offer Document or via an online application at
www.vistashareoffer.co.nz.
Entitlements are not rounded up to a minimum holding. The number of New Shares to which an Eligible
Retail Shareholder is entitled under an Entitlement will, in the case of fractions of New Shares, be rounded
down to the nearest whole number.
Eligible Retail Shareholders are not obliged to subscribe for any or all of the New Shares to which they are
entitled under the Offer. They may take up some or all of their Entitlement or allow some or all of their
Entitlement to lapse.
Any person outside New Zealand or Australia who takes up an Entitlement in the Retail Entitlement Offer
(and therefore applies for New Shares) through a New Zealand or Australian resident nominee, and their
nominee, will be deemed to have represented and warranted to Vista that the Offer can be lawfully made
to their nominee pursuant to this Offer Document. None of Vista, the Joint Lead Managers, the
Underwriters, the Registrar or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, or advisers
accept any liability or responsibility to determine whether a person is eligible to participate in this Offer.
Persons who are in the United States or are acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United
States (to the extent such persons are acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States
are not eligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.
Application to take up additional New Shares
New Shares that are attributable to Entitlements that are not taken up by Eligible Retail Shareholders
(together with those attributable to Entitlements of Ineligible Retail Shareholders) will be offered to Eligible
Retail Shareholders who take up their Entitlements in full.
Eligible Retail Shareholders who have taken up all of their Entitlements in full may apply for these
additional New Shares up to a maximum of 40% of their Entitlements. Eligible Retail Shareholders apply
for these additional New Shares by completing the appropriate section on the Entitlement and Acceptance
Form, or as directed via the online application, and applying for additional New Shares at the Offer Price.
Payment must be made for both your Entitlements and any additional New Shares for which you
wish to apply.
If you elect to apply for your Entitlements using the A$ Price, then any additional New Shares that you are
applying for must also be paid for in Australian dollars at the A$ price.
Allocations and any necessary scaling of additional New Shares applied for by Eligible Retail
Shareholders who take up their Entitlements in full will be determined by Vista and the Joint Lead
Managers.
NOMINEES
If you hold Existing Shares as nominee for more than one person, then you may (depending on the nature
of each such person) be an Eligible Institutional Shareholder, Ineligible Institutional Shareholder, Eligible
Retail Shareholder or Ineligible Retail Shareholder with regard to the Entitlement of each such person.
Notice to nominees and custodians
The Retail Entitlement Offer is being made to all Eligible Retail Shareholders. Nominees with registered
addresses in the eligible jurisdictions, irrespective of whether they participated under the Institutional
Entitlement Offer, may also be able to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer in respect of some or all of
15
the beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold existing Shares, provided that the applicable beneficiary
would satisfy the criteria for an Eligible Retail Shareholder.
Nominees and custodians who hold Shares as nominees or custodians will receive a letter from Vista.
Nominees and custodians should consider carefully the contents of that letter and note in particular that
the Retail Entitlement Offer is not available to, and they must not purport to accept the Retail Entitlement
Offer in respect of:
(a) beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Existing Shares who would not satisfy the criteria for an
Eligible Retail Shareholder;
(b) Eligible Institutional Shareholders who received an offer to participate in the Institutional
Entitlement Offer (whether they accepted their Entitlement or not);
(c) Ineligible Institutional Shareholders who were ineligible to participate in the Institutional
Entitlement Offer; or
(d) Shareholders who are not eligible under all applicable securities laws to receive an offer under
the Retail Entitlement Offer.
In particular, persons acting as nominees for other persons may not take up Entitlements on behalf of, or
send any documents relating to the Retail Entitlement Offer to, any person in the United States. Persons
in the United States and persons acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United States will not
be able to exercise Entitlements under the Retail Entitlement Offer.
Vista is not required to determine whether or not any registered holder is acting as a nominee or the
identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Shares or Entitlements. Where any holder is acting as a
nominee for a foreign person, that holder, in dealing with its beneficiary will need to assess whether
indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Retail Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign
laws. Vista is not able to advise on foreign laws.
OVERSEAS SHAREHOLDERS
The Offer is only open to Eligible Shareholders and persons that Vista is satisfied can otherwise
participate in the Offer in compliance with all applicable laws. Vista has determined that it is unreasonable
to extend the Retail Entitlement Offer to Ineligible Retail Shareholders and the Institutional Entitlement
Offer to Ineligible Institutional Shareholders because of the small number of such Shareholders, the
number and value of Shares that they hold and the cost of complying with the applicable regulations in
jurisdictions outside New Zealand and Australia.
This Offer Document is only being sent by Vista to Eligible Shareholders. The distribution of this Offer
Document (including an electronic copy) outside New Zealand or Australia may be restricted by law. Any
failure to comply with such restrictions may contravene applicable securities law. Vista disclaims all
liability to such persons.
Nominees and custodians may not distribute any part of this Offer Document, and may not permit any
beneficial shareholder to participate in the Offer who is located, in the United States or any other country
outside New Zealand and Australia except to institutional and professional investors listed in, and to the
extent permitted under, this section.
Australia
This Offer is being made to Australian resident Shareholders without a prospectus in accordance with
section 708AA of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (as modified by ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional
Rights Issue) Instrument 2016/84 and ASIC Instrument 20-0366). This Offer Document is not a
prospectus, product disclosure statement or any other form of disclosure document regulated by the
16
Corporations Act and has not been and will not be lodged with ASIC. Accordingly, this Offer Document
may not contain all information which a prospective investor may require to make a decision whether to
subscribe for New Shares and it does not contain all of the information which would otherwise be required
by Australian law to be disclosed in a prospectus. Neither ASIC or ASX take any responsibility for the
contents of this Offer Document.
Canada
This Offer Document constitutes an offering of New Shares only in the Provinces of British Columbia,
Ontario and Quebec (the “Provinces”) and to those persons to whom they may be lawfully distributed in
the Provinces, and only by persons permitted to sell such New Shares. This Offer Document is not, and
under no circumstances is to be construed as, an advertisement or a public offering of securities in the
Provinces. This Offer Document may only be distributed in the Provinces to persons that are “accredited
investors” within the meaning of NI 45-106 - Prospectus Exemptions, of the Canadian Securities
Administrators.
No securities commission or similar authority in the Provinces has reviewed or in any way passed upon
this Offer Document, the merits of the New Shares or the offering of New Shares and any representation
to the contrary is an offence.
No prospectus has been, or will be, filed in the Provinces with respect to the offering of New Shares or the
resale of such New Shares. Any person in the Provinces lawfully participating in the Offer will not receive
the information, legal rights or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and
receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the New
Shares in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable Canadian securities laws which may
require resales to be made in accordance with exemptions from dealer registration and prospectus
requirements. These resale restrictions may in some circumstances apply to resales of the New Shares
outside Canada and, as a result, Canadian purchasers should seek legal advice prior to any resale of the
New Shares.
Vista Group International Limited ("Vista") as well as its directors and officers may be located outside
Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada
upon Vista or its directors or officers. All or a substantial portion of the assets of Vista and such persons
may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against Vista
or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment obtained in Canadian courts against Vista or such
persons outside Canada.
Any financial information contained in this Offer Document has been prepared in accordance with New
Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards and also comply with International
Financial Reporting Standards, except for certain non-GAAP financial information, including pro forma
financial information to which certain adjustments have been made. Unless stated otherwise, all dollar
amounts contained in this Offer Document are in New Zealand dollars.
Statutory rights of action for damages and rescission
Securities legislation in certain of the Provinces may provide purchasers with, in addition to any other
rights they may have at law, rights of rescission or to damages, or both, when an offering memorandum
that is delivered to purchasers contains a misrepresentation. These rights and remedies must be
exercised within prescribed time limits and are subject to the defenses contained in applicable securities
legislation. Prospective purchasers should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of
their respective Province for the particulars of these rights or consult with a legal adviser.
The following is a summary of the statutory rights of rescission or to damages, or both, available to
purchasers in Ontario. In Ontario, every purchaser of the New Shares purchased pursuant to this Offer
Document (other than (a) a “Canadian financial institution” or a “Schedule III bank” (each as defined in NI
45-106), (b) the Business Development Bank of Canada or (c) a subsidiary of any person referred to in (a)
17
or (b) above, if the person owns all the voting securities of the subsidiary, except the voting securities
required by law to be owned by the directors of that subsidiary) shall have a statutory right of action for
damages and/or rescission against Vista if this Offer Document or any amendment thereto contains a
misrepresentation. If a purchaser elects to exercise the right of action for rescission, the purchaser will
have no right of action for damages against Vista. This right of action for rescission or damages is in
addition to and without derogation from any other right the purchaser may have at law. In particular,
Section 130.1 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that, if this Offer Document contains a
misrepresentation, a purchaser who purchases the New Shares during the period of distribution shall be
deemed to have relied on the misrepresentation if it was a misrepresentation at the time of purchase and
has a right of action for damages or, alternatively, may elect to exercise a right of rescission against Vista,
provided that (a) Vista will not be liable if it proves that the purchaser purchased the New Shares with
knowledge of the misrepresentation; (b) in an action for damages, Vista is not liable for all or any portion
of the damages that Vista proves does not represent the depreciation in value of the New Shares as a
result of the misrepresentation relied upon; and (c) in no case shall the amount recoverable exceed the
price at which the New Shares were offered.
Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these
rights more than (a) in the case of any action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that
gave rise to the cause of action or (b) in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the
earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the fact giving rise to the cause of action
or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action. These rights are in
addition to and not in derogation from any other right the purchaser may have.
Certain Canadian income tax considerations. Prospective purchasers of the New Shares should consult
their own tax adviser with respect to any taxes payable in connection with the transaction, holding or
disposition of the New Shares as any discussion of taxation related matters in this Offer Document is not a
comprehensive description and there are a number of substantive Canadian tax compliance requirements
for investors in the Provinces.
Language of documents in Canada. Upon receipt of this Offer Document, each investor in Canada hereby
confirms that it has expressly requested that all documents evidencing or relating in any way to the sale of
the New Shares (including for greater certainty any purchase confirmation or any notice) be drawn up in
the English language only. Par la réception de ce document, chaque investisseur canadien confirme par
les présentes qu'il a expressément exigé que tous les documents faisant foi ou se rapportant de quelque
manière que ce soit à la vente des valeurs mobilières décrites aux présentes (incluant, pour plus de
certitude, toute confirmation d'achat ou tout avis) soient rédigés en anglais seulement.

TERMS AND RANKING OF NEW SHARES
New Shares will rank equally with, and have the same voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements
as, Existing Shares in Vista quoted on the NZX Main Board and ASX. Entitlements will not be quoted and
cannot be traded on the NZX Main Board, ASX or privately transferred. It is a term of the Offer that Vista
will take any necessary steps to ensure that the New Shares are, immediately after issue, quoted on the
NZX Main Board and ASX.
Vista’s dividend policy is to pay 30% to 50% of net profit after tax, subject to immediate and future growth
opportunities and identified capital expenditure requirements. In light of the uncertainty surrounding the
impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the global film industry, Vista cancelled the FY2019 final dividend of
2.1 cents per share announced on 27 February 2020. The Board will continue to review payment of
dividends in the future as the trajectory of the COVID-19 outbreak and its impact on the global film
industry becomes clearer.
NZX
The New Shares have been accepted for quotation by NZX and will be quoted on the NZX Main Board
upon completion of allotment procedures. The NZX Main Board is a licensed market under the FMCA.
However, NZX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this Offer Document. It is expected that
trading on the NZX Main Board of the New Shares issued under:
• the Institutional Entitlement Offer will commence on Friday, 24 April 2020; and
• the Retail Entitlement Offer will commence on Wednesday, 13 May 2020.
21
ASX
An application has or will be made to ASX for quotation of the New Shares issued under the Offer and
Vista expects that the New Shares will be quoted upon completion of allotment procedures. It is expected
that trading on ASX of the New Shares issued under:
• the Institutional Entitlement Offer will commence on Friday, 24 April 2020; and
• the Retail Entitlement Offer will commence on Thursday, 14 May 2020.
ASX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this Offer Document. The fact that ASX may approve
the New Shares for quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of Vista. Holding
statements for New Shares allotted under the Offer will be issued and mailed as soon as practicable after
allotment. Applicants under the Offer should ascertain their allocation before trading in the New Shares.
Applicants can do so by contacting the Registrar, whose contact details are set out in the Directory.
Applicants selling New Shares prior to receiving a holding statement do so at their own risk. No person
accepts any liability or responsibility should any person attempt to sell or otherwise deal with New Shares
before the holding statement showing the number of New Shares allotted to an applicant is received by
the applicant for those New Shares.

SUMMARY
1. OPERATING COST
CONTROL
MEASURES
•Director and senior leadership salary reductions
•Strong staff uptake of reduced hours, with over 80% of staff across Vista Cinema and Movio having agreed to reduced
hours for reduced pay
•Vista Group continues to actively manage its cost base and will take further measures as required
•Cancelled agreement to acquire a further 14.5% of Vista Entertainment Solutions (Shanghai) Limited (“Vista China”)
•Discretionary capital expenditure has been suspended
•Contractor and outsourced development resources ceased with immediate effect in March
•Vista Group drew down $20 million from committed bank facilities
•Vista Group has an additional $23 million available ($18 million to specifically fund the SaaS development project)
•Cancellation of FY19 dividend. The Board will continue to review payment of dividends in future as it continues to monitor
the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the film industry globally
4. EQUITY RAISING
•Vista Group believes it is prudent to pursue measures that improve balance sheet flexibility given the uncertain economic
outlook
•A $65 million equity raising will strengthen its balance sheet and Vista Group believes this will ensure it remains well
capitalised during this period
•Following the equity raise, Vista Group will have liquidity of approximately $125 million comprising cash and existing un-
drawn facilities and expects to have sufficient liquidity to cover payments and meet all capital requirements through to 31
December 2021 under downside scenarios
•Vista Group has announced a number of proactive initiatives summarised below to strengthen its liquidity and balance sheet inlight of the COVID-19
pandemic. The Board believes it prudent to also pursue an equity raising to improve balance sheet flexibility and ensure it remains well capitalised
and is well placed to trade and take advantage of opportunities in the post COVID-19 period.
•While the pandemic will impact trading conditions, Vista Group believes the combined initiatives will provide it with sufficientadditional liquidity and
headroom and enable the business to perform well into the future.

KEY RISKS
17
INTRODUCTION
•This section outlines the key risks associated with the equity raising. These risks could have an effect on the performance of the Vista Group share
price as well as the financial performance and earnings of Vista Group. While this section sets out the key risks identified by Vista Group in relation
to the equity raising, it does not (and does not purport to) outline all risks associated with an investment in Vista Group shares, the future operating
or financial performance of Vista Group, the equity raising or general market or industry risks. Some risks may be unknown and other risks,
currently believed to be immaterial, could turn out to be material
•Investors should be aware that the spread of COVID-19, its effect on the global economy and actions taken in response by governments around
the world, has had a material adverse effect on Vista Group’s customers’ businesses and in turn Vista Group, its financial performance and
position, liquidity, financial condition and operations. It is not currently clear when these negative impacts will begin to abate. It is also likely that
there will be further unforeseen negative impacts as COVID-19 continues to spread and the broader economic impacts of the COVID-19 become
apparent. There is no certainty as to the severity or likelihood of any such unforeseen impacts arising nor whether any mitigating action will be
effective or can be taken
•In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, extra caution should be taken when assessing the risks associated with investment. The rapidly changing
COVID-19 situation is bringing unprecedented challenges to global financial markets, and the economy as a whole. Capital marketshave seen
equity securities suffer from spikes in volatility and significant price decline
•Before deciding whether to invest in Vista Group shares, you must make your own assessment of the risks associated with an investment in Vista
Group, including the inherent uncertainties as to the impact of COVID-19 noted above, and consider whether such an investment issuitable for you
having regard to all publicly available information (including this presentation and other information available on the NZX and ASX websites), your
personal circumstances and following consultation with a financial or other professional adviser
KEY RISKS RELATING TO THE EQUITY RAISING
18
KEY RISKS RELATING TO THE EQUITY RAISING
Customer risk
•Vista Group’s ability to operate successfully depends upon the availability, diversity and appeal of motion pictures, the success of motion
picture exhibitors and the cinema experience of the public generally. Vista Group derives a significant portion of its revenue from large
exhibitors or cinema circuits. Many of Vista Group’s core customers are located in regions which have been heavily affected by the spread
of the COVID-19 pandemic, such as North America, Europe and Asia. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the majority of cinemas
globally have been closed. A number of Vista Group’s existing customers have requested concessions to payment terms or discountsto
recurring fees in response to the cash flow challenges caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Vista Group is working closely with its customer
base to provide appropriate relief, whilst seeking to reserve its position in respect of amounts contractually owed to it. However, there is a
risk that Vista Group is not able to recover all amounts owed to it due to its customers’ financial distress, including wherethose customers
suffer insolvency
•The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the motion picture industry and associated cash flow challenges facing many of Vista Group’s
existing or potential customers means there is likely to be significantly lower demand for new software or services in the shortterm. It is
unclear when demand for products and services will resume to normal expectations
•It is unclear how long restrictions on the operations of Vista Group’s existing and potential customers and the resulting financial distress as
a result of COVID-19 will last, or how and when those customers will resume normal operations. It is also difficult to predict how the cinema
experience will change as a result of the experience of the COVID-19 pandemic in each of the jurisdictions in which Vista Group’s
customers operate. Vista Group will need to adapt to new market conditions post the COVID-19 pandemic and, in particular, will need to
match products and services to customer needs that may change significantly as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
•Each of the factors outlined above could have a material adverse effect on Vista Group’s financial position and performance. However, due
to the fluid nature of the COVID-19 pandemic, the duration of closures of Vista Group key customers' cinemas, and the impact on their
future demand, it is difficult for Vista Group to quantify the underlying impact that the COVID-19 pandemic will have on Vista Group’s FY20
and FY21 earnings
Business disruption risk
•Operational cost optimisation and acquisition deferrals aimed at minimising Vista Group’s cost footprint have been carefully considered so
as to minimise disruption to its core operations. While Vista Group is proactively and carefully considering all of the actions it takes in
response to the COVID-19 pandemic, these actions and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the way businesses operate generally
may negatively affect the ability of the Group and its customers to operate effectively, which may in turn have a material adverse effect on
Vista Group's operating performance and earnings
•Vista Group’s trading performance once cinemas reopen may be worse than anticipated, whether due to demand being slower to return or
the need for greater discounting and customer incentives than anticipated, cost reductions having a negative impact on the Group’s ability
to recommence operations effectively or other unforeseen factors. If these factors arise, they could have a material adverse effect on Vista
Group’s financial position and performance
19
KEY RISKS RELATING TO THE EQUITY RAISING
Banking support risk
•Vista Group has a strong and supportive relationship with its bank, ASB. If the offer proceeds, Vista Group anticipates it will have sufficient
liquidity to comply with its financial covenants to 31 December 2021. Vista Group currently has outstanding debt of $31 million,with the
earliest maturity arising in 2023. This includes the debt balance of $12 million relating to the acquisitions of MACCS and VistaLatam
•Vista Group’s model anticipates that the Group will have sufficient liquidity to achieve full compliance of its existing covenants on the
outstanding debt balance however there remains the risk that the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on Vista Group are worse than
anticipated and covenants are not met. In this case Vista Group may be unable to retain the support of its bank and have to refinance its
debt on less favourable terms or access additional equity or debt funding which could have adverse effects on Vista Group’s operational
performance and earnings
Capital sufficiency risk
•Vista Group has undertaken a capital sufficiency modelling exercise to assist in determining the optimal equity raise size. Based on its
modelling, Vista Group expects to have sufficient liquidity to meet capital requirements under downside scenarios, and support operations
through to 31 December 2021
•The model is based on what Vista Group considers to be a conservative set of assumptions and considers many COVID-19 scenarios.
However, there remains the risk that the negative impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic far exceed expected levels, and cost-out assumptions
cannot be met, or receivable collection periods are longer than expected. In the unlikely event of this scenario materialising, the Group may
have insufficient liquidity to meet capital and operational requirements. Vista Group would re-assess balance sheet strength andmay seek
to access additional equity or debt funding which could have adverse effects on Vista Group’s operating performance and earnings
•If the Offer does not proceed, Vista Group is likely to breach its banking covenants by late 2020. If this breach occurred, Vista Group is
likely to not be able to retain the support of its bank, including for any necessary covenant relief, and may have to refinance its debt on less
favourable terms, or alternatively access additional equity or debt funding which could have an adverse effect on Vista Group’s financial
position and performance
