MARKET RELEASE
2 September 2020


Cavalier Announces Conditional Sale and Leaseback of Auckland Property and Special Meeting


New Zealand wool and carpet company, Cavalier Corporation Limited (NZX: CAV) advises that it has

entered into a sale and leaseback agreement for its Auckland Property. The agreement is conditional

upon shareholder approval which will be sought at a Special Meeting of shareholders, to be held

online on 17 September 2020. A Notice of Special Meeting has been provided with this

announcement. While the Notice of Special Meeting stated that the agreement is also conditional

on OIO approval, this condition has now been satisfied.


On 23 July 2020, Cavalier unveiled a new transformational strategy that firmly positions the

Company with an all-wool and natural fibres business model. As stated at the time, the pivot to the

new strategy will require capital and investment and the Company has been evaluating a range of

opportunities to fund the transformation.


The Board has taken extensive external independent advice on the options available. In the first

instance, Cavalier is looking at the sale and leaseback of the Auckland Property, which represents the

most effective way of accessing capital at this time.


The Company has entered an agreement with Kinleith Land & Infrastructure Limited and/or nominee

for the sale and leaseback of the Auckland Property for net proceeds of approximately $24 million.

The proceeds will be used to strengthen Cavalier’s balance sheet and facilitate the transformation to

an all-wool and natural fibres business model.


The Company sees the increasing consumer shift back to using natural and environmentally

sustainable materials as a significant opportunity. Cavalier proposes to capitalise on its strengths and

the move towards conscious consumerism, and again focus on woollen carpets, taking advantage of

the growing interest in natural materials and sustainable products and assuming the environmental

responsibilities customers are looking for.


Chair of Cavalier, George Adams, said: “Cavalier is fortunate to have significant holdings of land and

buildings and the ability to unlock and redeploy some of this capital to support its strategy for

change. We consider that the pivot to an all-wool and natural materials business is the most

advantageous strategy for the Company and will provide long-term value for shareholders. We

recommend shareholders vote in favour of the resolution at the Special Meeting.”

and additions to existing homes, new housing starts,

relative exchange rates, interest rates and general

consumer confidence, can each have a substantial

impact on Cavalier’s results of operations and

Other risks include competitor activity, product

demand, pricing and input costs and the ongoing

impact of COVID-19 on the level of activity in the

flooring sector in all markets.

As a result of the foregoing, actual results and

conditions may differ materially from those

expressed or implied by such statements.

Any estimates or projections as to events that may

occur in the future (including the financial effects

of the Company’s transformation to the all-wool and

natural materials business model) are based upon

the best judgement of Cavalier from the information

CAVALIER NOTICE OF MEETING 01

Dear Shareholder
We are pleased to invite you to attend a

Special Meeting of shareholders of Cavalier

Corporation Limited online on Thursday,

17 September 2020 at 10.00 am. Given the

uncertainty around the COVID-19 environment,

the Special Meeting will be held virtually only.

You can participate in the Special Meeting at

www.web.lumiagm.com. If you are unable to

attend, we strongly encourage you to complete

and lodge the proxy form in accordance with

the instructions on the back of that form.

As you will be aware, on 23 July 2020, we announced

our exciting transformation to position Cavalier

Bremworth with an all-wool and natural fibres

business model. We have been delighted with the

overwhelmingly positive feedback from our customers,

retailers, industry partners and our shareholders. The

Special Meeting is an opportunity for you to hear more

on our new strategy, and we encourage you to attend

and take this opportunity to share in the Board and

management’s enthusiasm for our future.

Our pivot to our new strategy will require investment,

and shareholders are being asked to vote on a

resolution to allow for the sale and leaseback of

Cavalier’s Auckland properties situated at 7-9 Grayson

Avenue, 2 Brett Avenue and 9 Brett Avenue, Papatoetoe,

Auckland (‘Auckland Property’), in order to strengthen

our balance sheet and facilitate our transformation.

The background

Cavalier Bremworth is a loved and respected

New Zealand brand. Over decades, it has built a

reputation as a champion for quality New Zealand wool

carpets. For the last 50+ years, we’ve been on a journey

of exploration and have built up significant knowledge

about the potential and performance of many different

fibres from diverse sources for use in flooring.

In response to consumer demand, Cavalier Bremworth

introduced synthetic carpets in the last decade.

However, wool carpet was and remains the optimum

offering for customers. Not only is it the best fibre for

design, innovation and performance on the floor, it’s

also 100% natural, biodegradable and renewable.

A changing world

Today, the long-term dangers posed by plastics

are becoming clear. It’s a global problem and

manufacturers need to be part of the solution.

1

The figures are from the report to the Company prepared by The New Zealand Merino Company Limited dated 15 December 2019.

LETTER FROM

THE CHAIRMAN

Consumers are starting to reject plastic, particularly

single-use plastics, in favour of multi-use or more

sustainable alternatives. Consumers are also

becoming aware that plastic comes in many forms,

including synthetic carpet, upholstery, curtains,

clothing and more.

There is growing awareness and concern about

microplastics in our homes, in our food chain and in

the environment. The impact plastics have on human

health is largely unknown, but early studies suggest

that microplastics entering the body are unlikely to

be good for people.

A changing world brings new opportunities

Consumers subscribing to lifestyles of health

and sustainability (‘LOHAS’) epitomise conscious

consumerism and are one of the fastest growing

consumer segments in the developed world, valued

at more than US$190 billion a year in the United

States, A$32 billion in Australia and an estimated

NZ$18 billion in New Zealand.

1

These consumers are

seeking out products and experiences that align with

their emotional and environmental priorities and are

happy to pay to support these. They’re a wealthier

demographic who focus on personal health,

wellbeing and ecological impact.

As a company, we cannot ignore that we are currently

contributing to the plastic problem by manufacturing

and selling synthetic carpets. While we consider

recycling to be a positive step towards repurposing

plastic that already exists, stopping it at source has to

be the best solution. So, it makes sense for Cavalier

to transform and transition out of synthetic carpet to

natural materials and wool, knowing that in the process,

we are committing to improving the wellbeing of our

customers and the planet without compromising on

design and performance attributes that our customers

care about.

We’re transforming

The time is right for Cavalier to transform. To build on

our heritage, better meet the changing needs of our

customers and reduce our impact on the planet, while

also improving the profitability of our Company.

We will be transitioning out of synthetic carpets and

focusing on all-wool and natural materials.

We will be repositioning our brand and offer to better

meet the needs of conscious consumers (LOHAS).

We will continue to focus on doing what’s right – for

people and the planet.

And as a result, we believe we will deliver better

returns on investment for our shareholders.

02 CAVALIER NOTICE OF MEETING

2
For further details, please refer to Cavalier’s market release and strategy presentation released to NZX on 23 July 2020.

The directors consider that the pivot to an all-wool and natural materials

business is the most advantageous strategy for the Company and will

provide long-term value for shareholders. It is in this light that the directors

recommend you vote in favour of the resolution at the Special Meeting.

Over the next ten years, our vision is to become a

purpose-led global leader in designing and creating

desirable, sustainable, safe and high performing

interior products. While this transformation will take

time and investment, we believe Cavalier has the

infrastructure, capabilities and expertise to effectively

manage the change and a strategy which will benefit

from evolving consumer trends.

Our journey starts now

We have identified four strategic pathways and have

a detailed plan of activity to build our sales and extend

our reach.

2

We will be seeking to change consumer

mindsets and grow demand for beautiful, sustainable,

safe and high performing wool and natural material

interior products. We will be positioning Cavalier

Bremworth as the preferred choice for all homes,

targeting new consumer groups and key influencers,

investing in marketing, expanding our retail base and

launching new ranges to make our beautiful wool

carpets accessible to more consumers. Longer term,

we will be looking at other adjacent opportunities to

create desirable, sustainable and safe interior products.

We expect to see a return to profitable growth from

FY23 onwards, following an initial 12 to 24 months of

investment as we reset our business and commence

our new strategy, and as the economy recovers from

COVID-19. The full benefits are expected to be realised

from FY25 onwards as Cavalier’s strategy bears fruit.

Next steps

To facilitate our transformation to an all-wool and

natural materials strategy will require capital and

investment. The Board has taken extensive external

independent advice on the options available to us

and has shortlisted options including the sale and

leaseback of the Auckland Property, debt funding

and an equity raise.

In the first instance, we are looking at the sale and

leaseback of the Auckland Property, which represents

the most effective way of accessing capital at this

time. We are also considering capital options to further

strengthen our balance sheet and allow us to fully

execute our transformation strategy. We will keep

investors informed on this.

The net proceeds of the Auckland Property sale

of approximately $24.0 million would be used by

the Company in the first instance to deleverage

our balance sheet by fully repaying bank debt of

approximately $14.5 million. We are then proposing to

apply the balance of the net proceeds to strengthening

the balance sheet and providing the financial

resources to facilitate our strategic transformation

to an all-wool and natural materials business model.

Further information on the rationale for the directors’

recommendation, the new strategy and the sale and

leaseback of the Auckland Property can be read in the

Explanatory Statement of this Notice of Meeting. The

sale and leaseback is subject only to OIO approval and

shareholder approval, with settlement expected to

occur within a month of becoming unconditional.

Directors’ Recommendation

The directors have considered and taken independent

advice on alternatives for the future of Cavalier and

consider that the pivot to an all-wool and natural

materials business is the most advantageous strategy

for the Company and will provide long-term value

for shareholders. It is in this light that the directors

recommend you vote in favour of the resolution at

the Special Meeting.

Cavalier is fortunate to have significant holdings

of land and buildings and the ability to unlock and

redeploy some of this capital to support its strategy

for change. I encourage all shareholders to read this

Notice of Meeting in its entirety and, if at all possible,

attend the Special Meeting online to hear further

from the Board and management as we share our

new strategy with you.

It’s worth it

We believe the step change we are making is good

for our people, our shareholders, our business, our

customers, New Zealand and our planet. Nothing

feels better than premium wool carpet under your

feet on a cold winter morning, or a hot summer

evening. Nothing feels better than living with

beautiful, natural materials, rich with integrity, quality

and design. Nothing feels better than being ahead

of the curve, in a moral and practical sense. Nothing

feels better than doing something that’s both smart

and good. We warmly welcome our shareholders to

join us on our journey.

Thank you for your patience and continued support.

Yours sincerely

GEORGE ADAMS

CHAIRMAN

CAVALIER CORPORATION LIMITED

CAVALIER NOTICE OF MEETING 03

Proposed transaction
Cavalier Bremworth Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary,

has entered into an agreement with Kinleith Land &

Infrastructure Limited (and/or nominee) for the sale

and leaseback of the Auckland Property. The purchase

price for the Auckland Property is $24.6 million. After

real estate agent commission and other expenses such

as legal costs, the net proceeds are expected to be

$24.0 million.

Kinleith Land & Infrastructure is a New Zealand real

estate investor that is focused on core industrial

real estate in the Upper North Island, specialising

in manufacturing and heavy industry tenants. At the

centre of its strategy is recognising tenants’ need for

its properties to have access to industrial infrastructure

to efficiently reach domestic and export markets for

their products.

The initial term of the leaseback is 14 years plus

one right of renewal of six years, with net rent at

commencement date of $1,600,000 per annum

and a 2.5% increase in rent per annum on each

anniversary of the commencement date (except

where that anniversary coincides with a market rent

review date). Market rent reviews will take place on

the sixth anniversary of the commencement date

and on renewal date, with market rent to be no less

than 90% or greater than 110% of the annual rent

immediately preceding the relevant rent review date.

The Company has estimated the present value of the

rental obligation in respect of the Auckland Property

to be around $16.0 million, based on the initial term of

the leaseback of 14 years and the net rent during that

initial term (but ignoring the market rent review to take

place on the sixth anniversary of the commencement

date), discounted at the rate of 7.5% per annum

3

.

No rental amounts are being set off against the

purchase price.

Bayleys Real Estate (‘Bayleys’), who assisted Cavalier

with the sale and leaseback, have confirmed that the

terms of the sale and leaseback are typical for those

entered into for large industrial sites in the Auckland

region and that the triple-net lease

4

is typical after

having regard to the age and condition of the

Auckland Property.

As part of the sale and leaseback process, Bayleys

conducted a comprehensive marketing campaign

outlining the indicative details of the proposed sale

and leaseback. The campaign ran over a five-week

period to ensure that all potential purchasers were

identified. Over 50 enquiries were received during

the campaign, with multiple offers received at

the conclusion of the sale and leaseback process.

The proposed transaction represents the best

offer received.

Reasons for the proposed transaction

As shareholders would be aware from recent

announcements by the Company, Cavalier has

been investigating a range of opportunities to

realise additional funds to support the business

in light of the impact of COVID-19 as well as

facilitate the transformation strategy to an all-wool

and natural materials business model.

These funding opportunities include, to a large extent,

the sale and leaseback of the Auckland Property in

respect of which shareholder approval is now being

sought. The Company is also considering other

funding options and details will be provided to

shareholders in due course.

The net proceeds of this transaction of approximately

$24.0 million will be used by the Company in the

first instance to deleverage its balance sheet by fully

repaying bank debt of approximately $14.5 million.

EXPLANATORY

STATEMENT

3

NZ IFRS 16 Leases requires lease liabilities to be measured at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term, with these lease payments discounted using

a discount rate that approximates the Company’s incremental borrowing rate where the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily available.

4

In a triple-net lease, the lessee assumes direct responsibility for all costs payable in respect of the property (including rates, insuring the premises, and maintaining the

premises (including structural repairs and capital works)). While the lessee assumes those liabilities, ownership in the building rests with the lessor (save for those items

specified as remaining owned by the lessee, including specialist plant and machinery required for Cavalier Bremworth’s operations).

The purpose of this explanatory statement

(‘Explanatory Statement’) is to provide

shareholders with information on the matter

to be considered at the Special Meeting.

04 CAVALIER NOTICE OF MEETING

The balance of the net proceeds will be used to provide
the Company with:

• additional liquidity and funding during the current

uncertain and difficult operating environment;

• a sound financial footing to better capitalise on the

expected eventual recovery in the carpet market; and

• the financial resources to undertake its strategic

transformation to its all-wool and natural materials

business model.

In the meantime, all non-essential capital and

operational spends are continuing to be deferred and

all other costs closely monitored.

Cavalier is not at this stage considering a sale and

leaseback of its other properties but, if it was to do

so, it would seek shareholder approval to such a

transaction if required by the NZX Listing Rules.

The transformation to the all-wool and natural

materials business model

The Company’s business includes the manufacture

and sale of carpets. It traditionally focused on wool

carpets, however, in the last decade, there began a

shift in the market away from wool carpets towards

alternative forms of flooring, including synthetic

carpets and hard flooring.

While woollen carpet remained Cavalier’s focus over

that time, it sought to adapt to this market change by

also diversifying into synthetic carpets, undertaking

significant rationalisation of its woollen carpet

manufacturing base and reducing its operating costs

in the process.

The synthetic segment of the carpet market has

become very price competitive and increasingly

challenging for Cavalier in its main New Zealand and

Australian markets, particularly with no barriers to

entry and with local synthetic carpet manufacturers

having to compete with global manufacturers who

produce very large volumes of these carpets at very

low costs.

At the same time, Cavalier has been seeing growing

demand for top end, high quality, textured wool

carpets, with consumers starting to consider the

social, environmental and health impacts of the

products they purchase. In parallel, there is also

growing awareness of the negative impact of synthetics,

particularly plastic pollution, and the use of potentially

harmful chemicals, on the environment and on our

health. That awareness is changing how and what

consumers choose.

The Company sees the increasing consumer shift

back to using natural and environmentally sustainable

materials as a significant opportunity. Cavalier

proposes to capitalise on its strengths and the move

towards conscious consumerism, and again focus

on woollen carpets, taking advantage of the growing

interest in natural materials and sustainable products

and assuming the environmental responsibilities

customers are looking for.

The Company does not consider that the proposed

property transaction will significantly change the

nature of its business, with Cavalier continuing to

be a manufacturer and distributor of carpets. It will

also be looking to significantly increase its marketing

and sales profile and presence and focus not just on

manufacturing but on the customers’ needs.

CAVALIER NOTICE OF MEETING 05

Giving effect to the transformation
To give effect to the transformation, Cavalier will:

(a) exit its non-wool carpet business so that it can

focus on its woollen carpet operations; and (b) raise

the funding required for the transformation, while also

providing Cavalier with additional liquidity and funding

during the current uncertain and difficult operating

environment, by redeploying the capital tied up in

the Auckland-based manufacturing site (subject to

entering into lease back arrangements in relation to it).

Financial implications of the proposed

transaction, the repayment of bank debt

and the transformation

The cash flow implications of the transaction, together

with the repayment of bank debt and the execution of

the strategic transformation to the all-wool and natural

materials business model, as explained earlier, for FY21

are summarised below:


Net proceeds of proposed transaction

1


Repayment of bank debt

Transformation-related cash flows:

Restructuring

Capital expenditure

2


Marketing and people

3


FY21 net cash flows

4


Surplus cash as at end of FY21

1

sale proceeds are net of real estate agent commission and

other expenses such as legal costs

2

including new display stands at retail

3

including launch of the transformation and focus on sustainability

4

including proceeds of sale of non-wool inventory

The Board expects that all of the surplus cash from

the transaction as at the end of FY21 would also be

required in FY22 for the ongoing transformation.

The Board remains very focused on total shareholder

value, with annual dividends an integral part of

shareholder value creation, and the Board is fully

committed to the resumption of payment of annual

dividends as soon as possible - subject to dividend

payments being sustainable and supported by

consistent earnings and a strong balance sheet.

Five-year modelling of Cavalier’s future financial

performance and the investment needed to bring

about the transformation has been undertaken by

management and external advisers. In summary:

• Total sales revenue for FY20 and FY21 will reduce

as Cavalier exits its non-wool carpet business and

as a consequence of COVID-19;

• Investment costs, including restructuring of

its operations, will be incurred as the business

adjusts its manufacturing and sales base to

reflect the new sales focus, with these costs

also inclusive of new display stands at retail to

expand its market presence;

• Marketing spend and people costs will increase as

Cavalier will be investing in a number of initiatives

to enhance its market presence and ensure its

strategy is successfully communicated, understood

and implemented – in the process growing the wool

flooring market while also growing its share of the

wool market;

• As Cavalier’s strategy bears fruit and sales of higher

margin, higher value woollen carpets replace and

eclipse the previous synthetic carpet sales, this will

be reflected in Cavalier’s financial performance,

with growing revenues expected from FY23 and

FY24 onwards as the business builds woollen carpet

sales and as the economy recovers from COVID-19;

• The full benefits from the transformation are

expected from FY25 onwards.

06 CAVALIER NOTICE OF MEETING

As part of its assessment of funding and the new
strategic direction, Cavalier’s Board considered the long

term risks and rewards of various alternatives (such as

debt funding, an equity raise or asset sales) and believe

that the current funding proposal and strategy is the

most advantageous pathway for the Company and

will provide long term value for shareholders, while

preserving jobs, protecting local supply chains and

supporting New Zealand’s primary industry.

Risks of proposed transaction

The principal risk with a sale and leaseback transaction

is if the facility is critical to the operations of the

business and the Company is unable to find suitable

alternative premises at the end of the lease term.

However, the Company is comfortable given the

14-year term of the lease, and the further right of

renewal of six years, that it will be able to find suitable

alternative premises at the required time. The Board

also notes that the purchaser is a significant industrial

property investor and there may be the opportunity

to relocate to another facility owned by the purchaser

and purpose-built for the Company at the appropriate

time in the future.

Sale and leaseback

The Board has determined that the sale and leaseback

of the Auckland Property represents the most effective

way of accessing capital during the current uncertain

and difficult operating environment while also

providing its carpet manufacturing operation

with ongoing security of tenure.

The Auckland Property, with land area of 20,363

square metres (more or less) and lettable area of

approximately 15,375 square metres, houses Cavalier’s

carpet tufting operation as well as its head office,

finance and administration, information services,

sales service and other support functions.

Recommendation of the Board

The Board unanimously recommends the resolution

to shareholders for approval and encourages all

shareholders to vote in favour of the resolution.

In the Board’s opinion, the proposed transaction

is in the best interests of the Company and its

shareholders. The directors intend to vote all shares

in the Company held or controlled by them in favour

of the resolution to approve the transaction.

Consequences if resolution is not approved

If shareholders do not approve the resolution, then

the proposed transaction the subject of the resolution

will not proceed, requiring the Board to consider

other options that may be available to the Company

to enable the Company to execute the transformation.

Listing Rules requirements – sale and leaseback

of property

Under NZX Listing Rule 5.1.1, a listed issuer must

obtain shareholder approval for an acquisition,

sale or lease of assets in respect of which the

“Gross Value” exceeds 50% of the issuer’s “Average

Market Capitalisation” (each as defined in the NZX

Listing Rules), or where an acquisition, sale or lease

of assets would significantly change the nature of

the issuer’s business.

The Gross Value of the asset that is subject to the

transaction being contemplated (including leaseback)

exceeds 50% of the Company’s Average Market

Capitalisation

5

and, therefore, shareholder approval

by ordinary resolution is required under NZX Listing

Rule 5.1.1.

5

The Company’s Average Market Capitalisation as at 25 August 2020, being the latest practical

date prior to the printing of the Notice of Meeting, was approximately $23.5 million.
