Limited (“Summerset”) of $150,000,000 guaranteed, secured, unsubordinated fixed rate bonds
maturing on 21 September 2027 (“Bonds”) under its master trust deed dated 30 May 2017 (as
amended from time to time) (“Trust Deed”) as modified and supplemented by a supplemental trust
deed dated 7 September 2020 (together, “Trust Documents”) entered into between Summerset

otherwise requires, capitalised terms used in this Final Terms Sheet have the same meaning given to
them in the Trust Documents.
Investors should refer to the Trust Documents for the full terms of the Bonds.
Important Notice
The Offer of debt securities by Summerset is made in reliance upon the exclusion in clause 19 of
schedule 1 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (“FMCA”).
The Offer contained in this Final Terms Sheet is an offer of bonds that have identical rights,
privileges, limitations and conditions (except for the interest rate and maturity date) as:
• Summerset’s bonds maturing on 11 July 2023, which have a fixed interest rate of 4.78% per
annum and are currently quoted on the NZX Debt Market under the ticker code SUM010; and
• Summerset’s bonds maturing on 24 September 2025, which have a fixed interest rate
of 4.20% per annum and are currently quoted on the NZX Debt Market under the ticker
code SUM020,
(together the “Existing Bonds”).
Accordingly, the Bonds are the same class as the Existing Bonds for the purposes of the FMCA and
the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014.
Summerset is subject to a disclosure obligation that requires it to notify certain material information
to NZX Limited (“NZX”) for the purpose of that information being made available to participants in
the market. That information can be found by visiting www.nzx.com/companies/SUM.
The Existing Bonds are the only debt securities of Summerset that are currently quoted and in the
same class as the Bonds.
Investors should look to the market price of the Existing Bonds referred to above to find out how the
market assesses the returns and risk premium for those bonds.

Final Terms Sheet
Summerset Group Holdings Limited
Issuer
Summerset Group Holdings Limited (“Summerset”)
Instrument
Fixed rate, guaranteed, secured, unsubordinated bonds (“Bonds”)
Status
The Bonds will be issued under the Trust Documents described above.
Principal and interest amounts in respect of the Bonds will be direct, secured,
unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and rank pari passu with all other
unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, except indebtedness preferred by law.
Guarantors
Consistent with the Guarantors for Summerset’s bank facilities.
Holders will have the benefit of the following coverage ratios:
• Total Assets of the Guaranteeing Group must comprise at least 90% of the
Total Assets of the Summerset Group; and
• EBITDA of the Guaranteeing Group for each rolling 12 month period must
not be less than 90% of EBITDA of the Summerset Group for that period.
Purpose
The proceeds of the Offer will be used to repay a portion of existing drawn
bank debt and for general corporate purposes of the Summerset Group.
The Offer will provide further diversification of funding sources and tenor for
the Summerset Group.
More broadly, the Summerset Group’s principal use of debt is to facilitate the
acquisition of land for development, and the development and construction
of retirement villages. The debt for a particular development is typically
repaid over the period the development is built and sold down.
Security
Holders will share the benefit of the same security package as Summerset’s
banks on a pro rata basis. The security is held by the Security Trustee.
The key securities that Summerset’s banks and Holders will have the benefit
of are set out below.
New Zealand Securities
• A second ranking mortgage over the land and permanent buildings of
each Village Registered Company incorporated in New Zealand, which
are the entities that operate Summerset’s registered retirement villages
in New Zealand. This ranks behind a first ranking mortgage in favour of
Public Trust (as the Statutory Supervisor of the relevant retirement village)
securing amounts and obligations owing to village residents.
• A first ranking mortgage over land and permanent buildings owned by
other Summerset Group companies (described as Non-Village Registered
Companies) incorporated in New Zealand, being undeveloped land and
land under development.
• A General Security Deed, which grants security over all assets of the
Guaranteeing Group companies incorporated in New Zealand.
However, the Statutory Supervisor has first rights to the proceeds
of security enforcement against the assets of the Village Registered
Companies incorporated in New Zealand.
Key Terms of the Bonds

Final Terms Sheet
Summerset Group Holdings Limited
Security
(continued)
The Statutory Supervisor is entitled to the proceeds of security
enforcement against all assets of the Village Registered Companies
incorporated in New Zealand, in priority to Summerset’s banks and Holders.
Summerset’s banks and Holders (including Holders of the Existing Bonds)
will share the remaining proceeds of security enforcement against the
assets of Village Registered Companies incorporated in New Zealand to
which the Security Trustee is entitled on a pro rata basis.
Australian Securities
• A second ranking mortgage over the land and permanent buildings of
any Village Registered Company incorporated in Australia. This ranks
second in priority behind a statutory charge against the land and
permanent buildings under s29 of the Retirement Villages Act 1986 (Vic)
securing amounts owing to village residents. Note that Summerset
does not currently have any Village Registered Companies in Australia,
but will do so after it registers its first retirement village in Victoria.
• A first ranking mortgage over any land and permanent buildings owned
by Non-Village Registered Companies incorporated in Australia, being
undeveloped land and land under development.
• A General Security Deed, which grants security over all assets of the
Guaranteeing Group companies incorporated in Australia.
There is no requirement to appoint a Statutory Supervisor or equivalent for
each Registered Village in Australia.
Financial
Covenant
LVR Covenant
Summerset will ensure, on each Test Date, that the ratio of:
a. Total Debt (which is effectively principal amounts outstanding under
Summerset’s bank facilities, bonds and any other secured facilities); to
b. Property Value of the Guaranteeing Group’s land and permanent
buildings that have been mortgaged to the Security Trustee,
is less than or equal to 50%.
A reported breach of the LVR Covenant in respect of a Test Date will be an
Event of Review. Summerset must then follow a process specified in the
Trust Deed to attempt to remedy the breach. If the breach has not been
remedied at the end of this process, an Event of Default occurs.
Distribution stopper
Guarantors are not permitted to make any Distributions to non-Guarantors
if an Event of Default or Event of Review is continuing.
Refer to the Trust Deed for more detail on Covenants that will
apply to the Bonds.
