Corporate Structure Update



Tower Limited (NZX/ASX: TWR) confirms that the short-form amalgamation of Tower Limited,

Tower Financial Services Group Limited and Tower New Zealand Limited down into Tower

Insurance Limited has been approved by the Reserve Bank of New Zealand. Documents will be

filed to effect the amalgamation on 30 September 2020.


Tower Insurance Limited will be the amalgamated and continuing company. From the point of

amalgamation:


 Tower Insurance Limited's legal name will be changed to "Tower Limited"


 Tower Insurance Limited (renamed Tower Limited) will become the listed entity on the

NZX and ASX with the ticker "TWR"


 Tower Insurance Limited's company number will remain the same (143050)


 Tower Insurance Limited will continue to be the insurer licensed by the Reserve Bank of

New Zealand


 Tower Insurance Limited shares will be cancelled without consideration


 Following the amalgamation, the shares in Tower Limited will become the shares in

Tower Insurance Limited. Shareholders in Tower Limited prior to the amalgamation will

become shareholders of Tower Insurance Limited (then renamed Tower Limited) on the

basis that those shares are shares in the amalgamated company.


 The amalgamated Tower Limited's constitution will become the constitution of Tower

Insurance Limited


Tower Chief Financial Officer, Jeff Wright, said that the amalgamation was another symbol that

Tower has undergone a transformation into a simpler, more focussed business.


“Tower’s prior corporate structure was designed to support many different businesses and

following a period of divestment and our focus on general insurance, this new structure will

reduce complexity, effort and cost,” said Wright.
