Asset Plus Announces Opening of Retail Entitlement Offer
NZX RELEASE
15 September 2020
Asset Plus Announces Distribution of Offer Document and Opening of the Retail Entitlement Offer
Asset Plus Limited (APL) has today sent a copy of the Offer Document and Entitlement and Acceptance Form to
eligible retail shareholders.
The $60.2 million Equity Raise by way of a $12.1 million underwritten placement and $48.1 million pro rata 1 for
1.01 accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (Entitlement Offer) was announced on 10 September 2020.
Under the Entitlement Offer, eligible shareholders can apply for 1 New Share for every 1.01 existing shares held
on the record date, being 5.00pm on 14 September 2020 (Record Date), at the fixed price of $0.30 per New Share
(Offer Price).
The issue price represents a 17.8% discount to APL’s closing share price of $0.365 on 9 September 2020 and an
8.8% discount to the theoretical ex-rights and placement adjusted price (TERP)
1
of $0.33 per share. The latest
share price for APL is available at www.nzx.com under the ticker “APL”. The proceeds from the Equity Raise will
be applied to repay all existing outstanding debt, with remaining cash and funds from the restructured bank
facility being used to fund the Munroe Lane development throughout the development period (subject to
shareholder approval at the Special Meeting on Tuesday, 29 September 2020).
The retail component of the Entitlement Offer (Retail Offer) opens today for eligible retail shareholders with a
registered address in New Zealand or New Caledonia as at 5.00pm (NZST) on the Record Date. Eligible retail
shareholders who take up their entitlement in full will have the option to apply for additional New Shares at the
Offer Price by completing the appropriate section on the Entitlement and Acceptance Form, or as directed via the
online application (Oversubscription Facility). Payment must be made for both your entitlement and any
additional New Shares for which you wish to apply for under the Oversubscription facility.
Eligible retail shareholders who did not acquire their pro-rata share of New Shares under the placement
component of the Equity Raise will be diluted as a consequence of the placement if they do not apply for
additional New Shares under the Oversubscription Facility. In order to maintain the same percentage
shareholding upon completion of the Equity Raise, eligible retail shareholders will need to take up their
entitlement in full as well as apply for, and be allocated, an additional ~25.2% of their entitlement via the
Oversubscription Facility.

Key dates
1
The TERP is the Theoretical Ex-Rights and Placement Adjusted Price at which APL ordinary shares would trade
immediately after the ex-rights date for the Entitlement Offer. TERP is calculated with reference to APL’s closing share
price of $0.365 on 9 September 2020 and includes all new shares issued under the Equity Raise. TERP is a theoretical
calculation only and the actual price at which APL ordinary shares will trade immediately after the ex-rights date for the
Entitlement Offer will depend on many factors and may not be equal to TERP.
2
Assuming such shareholders did not acquire any New Shares under the placement component of the Equity Raise, and
assuming such shareholders did not buy or sell any APL ordinary shares on market since the announcement of the Equity
Raise. There is no guarantee that eligible shareholders will be allocated all of the additional number of New Shares applied
for, due to scaling. The additional number of New Shares required to be applied for to avoid dilution cannot be calculated
at this time and will depend on a number of factors (including the level of take-up by other eligible retail shareholders and
scaling). Eligible retail shareholders are therefore advised to seek independent advice as to how to proceed.
