of seven year senior secured fixed rate green bonds maturing on 27 October 2027 (“Green Bonds”). The Green Bonds are to be

Important Notice
The offer of Green Bonds by Argosy 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 Terms Sheet is an offer of Green Bonds that have identical rights, privileges, limitations and conditions
(except for the interest rate and maturity date) as:
• Argosy’s $100 million senior secured fixed rate green bonds maturing on 27 March 2026, which have a fixed interest rate of 4.00%
per annum and are currently quoted on the NZX Debt Market under the ticker code ARG010; and
• Argosy’s $100 million senior secured fixed rate green bonds maturing on 29 October 2026, which have a fixed interest rate of
2.90% per annum and are currently quoted on the NZX Debt Market under the ticker code ARG020;
(together, the “Existing Green Bonds”).
Accordingly, the Green Bonds are the same class as the Existing Green Bonds for the purposes of the FMCA and the Financial
Markets Conduct Regulations 2014.
Argosy 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 and that information can be found by visiting
www.nzx.com/companies/ARG.

Argosy Property Limited | Indicative Terms Sheet
No Event of Default in relation
to Green Bond Framework or
Green Bond Principles
If:
• Argosy fails to comply with the Green Bond Framework;
• Argosy or any Green Asset fails to comply with any environmental laws and standards;
• the Green Bonds cease to satisfy the Green Bond Principles; or
• Argosy fails to notify Holders that the Green Bonds cease to comply with the Green Bond
Framework or the Green Bond Principles,
then:
• no Event of Default will occur in relation to the Green Bonds; and
• neither the Holders nor Argosy have any right for the Green Bonds to be repaid early.
This means there is no obligation on Argosy to comply with the Green Bond Framework or the
Green Bond Principles on an ongoing basis.
Guarantors
The obligations of Argosy to pay interest on the Green Bonds and for the repayment of the
Green Bonds on the Maturity Date are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of Argosy, being
Argosy Property Management Limited and Argosy Property No.1 Limited (together, the
“Guaranteeing Subsidiaries”). The Green Bonds are not guaranteed by any other member
of the Argosy Group (being Argosy and all of its subsidiaries) or by any other person.
Security
The Green Bonds are secured by a general security interest granted by Argosy and the
Guaranteeing Subsidiaries under the General Security Deed over all of their property
(except any property held by it as trustee), together with first ranking Mortgages granted
over all of the land (including the buildings and other fixtures on that land) owned by them.
The guarantee and security interests are granted in favour of the Security Trustee for the benefit
of all of the secured parties under the Security Trust Deed (including Holders, holders of the
Existing Green Bonds, bank facility lenders and hedge providers and any future secured parties)
on an equal ranking basis and can only be enforced in accordance with the Security Trust Deed.
The Supervisor represents the Holders in relation to the Security Trust Deed (that is, individual
Holders do not participate in the administration of the Security Trust Deed).
Security documents
The documents that create or govern the security are:
• the “Security Trust Deed” dated 17 May 2010 as amended most recently by a deed dated
18 October 2018;
• the “General Security Deed” as amended, restated and consolidated on or about
1 September 2014 and as amended and restated most recently by a deed dated
28 February 2018; and
• the “Mortgages” granted by Argosy Property No.1 Limited, being first ranking registered
mortgages over all of the land (including the buildings and other fixtures on that land)
owned by the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries.
Financial Covenant
Under the Trust Deed, Argosy will ensure that the total principal amount of all indebtedness
that is secured pursuant to the Security Trust Deed is no more than 50% of the Secured
Property Value.
If Argosy breaches the loan to value ratio under the Trust Deed, it must remedy the breach
within 6 months of the time that the non-compliance is required to be reported to the
Supervisor. If Argosy does not meet this covenant after that 6 month period, Argosy must
notify the Supervisor and all Holders of the breach, together with its plan to remedy the
breach. If Argosy is still in breach of this covenant after an additional 6 month period,
an Event of Default occurs.
Distribution stopper
Under the Trust Deed, Argosy will not make any distributions if an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, or would occur as a result of making that distribution.
Further Debt
Argosy is able to issue further bonds and incur other financial indebtedness without the consent
of Holders on such terms and conditions as Argosy may from time to time determine provided
that Argosy continues to comply with the financial covenant in the Trust Deed.

Environmental Strategy
9—
The impact of Argosy’s property investment business on the natural environment is an increasingly important
consideration for investors, tenants and other stakeholders.
Our environmental strategy reflects our ambition to create vibrant sustainable workplaces for our tenants. We believe
that green buildings have the potential to provide a number of key business benefits including:
increased marketability;
higher rental rates;
lower operating costs;
higher occupancy;
improved worker productivity and occupant health and well-being;
lower regulatory risk.
We believe that an integrated design approach, where experts and tenants are involved from the pre-design stage
through to occupancy, can greatly assist in the reduction of green development costs.
We are a member of the New Zealand Green Building Council which is dedicated to promoting the benefits of
sustainable buildings.
