Opening of NZ$20 Million Share Purchase Plan


Synlait Milk Limited (“Synlait”) is pleased to announce the opening of its fully underwritten NZ$20 million

share purchase plan (“SPP”) today. The SPP is part of Synlait’s NZ$200 million equity raising announced

on 10 November 2020, pursuant to which Synlait also undertook an approximately NZ$180 million

underwritten placement of new shares to institutional shareholders in New Zealand, Australia and other

select jurisdictions (“Placement”).


Synlait announced the successful completion of the Placement on 11 November 2020. The Placement of

approximately $180 million of new, fully paid ordinary shares was fully subscribed at the fixed price of

NZ$5.10 per share, which represented a discount of 14.0% to the last trading price of NZ$5.93 per share

on 9 November 2020 and a discount of 6.6% to the five-day volume weighted average price of NZ$5.46

(assessed up to and including 9 November 2020). Settlement of the Placement is expected to occur on 17

November 2020 for the ASX and on 18 November 2020 for NZX, with allotment and commencement of

trading on NZX and ASX expected to occur on 18 November 2020.


Under the SPP, eligible existing Synlait shareholders with a registered address in New Zealand or Australia

can each subscribe for up to NZ$50,000/A$47,000 worth of new Synlait shares. The offer price of these

shares will be the lower of the Placement offer price of NZ$5.10 and a 2.5% discount to the five-day

volume weighted average price of Synlait shares traded on the NZX during the last five business days of

the SPP offer period (inclusive). The new shares to be issued under the SPP will rank equally in all respects

with Synlait’s existing ordinary shares.


The SPP offer size of NZ$20 million (with no oversubscriptions) has been sized to reflect the retail

shareholder base, with the objective of providing almost all existing eligible shareholders the opportunity

to achieve at least their pro rata portion of the equity raising. If scaling of the SPP is required, it will be

done with reference to shareholders’ existing shareholdings at the record date of 9 November 2020.

An SPP offer booklet, together with an application form, will be sent or made available to eligible New

Zealand and Australian resident retail shareholders today and will also be available to those eligible

shareholders at www.shareoffer.co.nz/synlait from today. All eligible shareholders are encouraged to visit

that website and apply online before the closing date on Wednesday, 25 November 2020.


Key dates relating to the SPP are set out in the Appendix to this announcement. A copy of the SPP offer

booklet also accompanies this announcement.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

This Offer Document has been prepared by Synlait Milk Limited

(Synlait) in connection with an offer of new ordinary shares

(Offer Shares) under a share purchase plan (the Offer).

In New Zealand the Offer is made to Eligible Shareholders under

the exclusion in clause 19 of Schedule 1 of the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013 (FMCA) and in reliance on a class waiver and

ruling issued by NZX Regulation dated 30 September 2020

(Class Waiver) and a waiver issued by NZX Regulation in favour

of Synlait dated 10 November 2020 (Synlait Waiver, together

with the Class Waiver, the NZX Waivers).

In Australia the Offer is made to Eligible Shareholders in

accordance with the relief granted under ASIC Corporations

(Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 and

as amended by ASIC Instrument 20-1052.

This Offer Document is not a product disclosure statement or

prospectus for the purposes of the FMCA or the Corporations

Act 2001 (Cth) or any other law, and does not contain all of the

information which may be required in order to make an informed

investment decision about the Offer or Synlait.

FURTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

A presentation providing further important information in relation to

Synlait and the Offer has been published by Synlait on 10 November

2020 (the Investor Presentation). A copy of the Investor Presentation

and other important information released on 10 November 2020

are available at www.nzx.com and www.asx.com.au under the ticker

code "SML" and "SM1", respectively.

The Investor Presentation includes details of the rationale for the

Offer. It also provides an update as to guidance for the current

financial year and explains in more detail the expected impact of

the Offer, including a non-exhaustive summary of certain key risks

associated with Synlait and the Offer.

You should read the Investor Presentation in full, as it contains

important information to assist you in making an investment

decision in respect of the Offer. In particular, you should read and

consider pages 18 to 23 of the Investor Presentation ("Key Risks")

before making an investment decision.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AVAILABLE UNDER

CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS

Synlait is subject to continuous disclosure obligations under

the Listing Rules and the ASX Listing Rules. Market releases

by Synlait are available at www.nzx.com and www.asx.com.au

under the ticker code "SML" and "SM1", respectively.

You are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance

on any forward-looking statements such as indications of,

and guidance on, future earnings and financial position

and performance in any market releases made by Synlait,

particularly in light of the current economic climate and

the significant volatility, uncertainty and disruption caused

by the outbreak of COVID-19.

In particular, Synlait recommends that you read its market

announcements (together with the materials attached to

those announcements) and in particular its recent

announcements regarding:

• the Offer released on 10 November 2020 (including the

Investor Presentation accompanying that announcement);

• the settlement of the Pokeno land covenant dispute

released on 6 November 2020;

• Synlait signing a new multinational customer agreement

released on 5 November 2020;

• Synlait’s annual report for the year ended 31 July 2020

released on 27 October 2020;

• Synlait's annual financial statements and results presentation

for the year ended 31 July 2020 released on 28 September

2020; and

• response to The a2 Milk Company Limited's announcement

released on 21 August 2020.

Synlait may, during the Offer, make additional releases to

NZX and ASX. Shareholders should monitor Synlait's market

announcements during the period of the Offer.

No release by Synlait to NZX or ASX will permit an applicant to

withdraw any previously submitted Application without Synlait's

prior written consent, whether or not there has been any

permissible variation of the Offer.

MARKET RISK

The market price for the Shares may change materially between

the date this Offer opens, the date you apply for Offer Shares

under the Offer, and the date on which the Shares are allotted to

you. This is particularly the case given the wide fluctuations and

volatility in the share prices for many listed companies in recent

times due to the continuing impacts of COVID-19. There is no

certainty that this recent volatility will not continue or worsen,

which could have a materially adverse impact on the share price

for Synlait. Accordingly:

• the price paid for Offer Shares may be higher or lower

than the price at which Shares are trading on the NZX

Main Board or the ASX at the time Shares are issued under

the Offer;

• the market price of Offer Shares following allotment may be

higher or lower than the Issue Price; and

• it is possible that up to or after the Allotment Date, you may

be able to buy Shares at a lower price than the Issue Price.

WITHDRAWAL AND DATE CHANGES

Subject to compliance with all applicable laws, Synlait reserves

the right at its absolute discretion to withdraw all or any part of

the Offer and to alter the dates set out in this Offer Document.

OFFERING RESTRICTIONS

This Offer Document is intended for use only in connection with

the Offer to Eligible Shareholders with a registered address

in New Zealand and Australia. This Offer Document does not

constitute an offer or invitation in any place in which, or to any

person to whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or

invitation.

2
No action has been taken to permit a public offering of the Offer

Shares in any jurisdiction outside New Zealand and Australia.

The distribution of this Offer Document (including an electronic

version) in a jurisdiction outside New Zealand and Australia may

be restricted by law and persons who come into possession of it

(including nominees, trustees or custodians) should seek advice

on and observe any such restrictions. Any failure to comply with

such restrictions may contravene applicable securities law. Synlait

disclaims all liability in respect of any such contravention by any

other person.

No person may subscribe for, purchase, offer, sell, distribute or

deliver the Offer Shares, or be in possession of, or distribute

to any other person, any offering material or any documents in

connection with the Offer Shares, in any jurisdiction other than

in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Without

limiting the foregoing, this Offer Document may not be released

or distributed in the United States. This Offer Document does

not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of an offer to buy,

any securities in the United States. The Offer Shares have not

been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act or

the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction of the United

States. Accordingly, the Offer Shares may not be offered, sold or

otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, in the United States or

to any person acting for the account or benefit of a person in the

United States (to the extent such person is acting for the account

or benefit of a person in the United States).

DECISION TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OFFER

The information in this Offer Document does not constitute a

recommendation to acquire or invest in Offer Shares and is not

financial product advice to you or any other person. This Offer

Document has been prepared without taking into account your

investment objectives, financial or taxation situation or particular

needs or circumstances.

Before deciding whether to invest in Offer Shares, you must make

your own assessment of the risks associated with an investment

in Synlait (including the inherent uncertainties as to the impact

of COVID-19 and the summary of key risks on pages 18 to 23 of

the Investor Presentation ("Key Risks")), and consider whether

such an investment is suitable for you having regard to publicly

available information (including the Investor Presentation), your

personal circumstances and following consultation with a financial

or other professional adviser. Please read this Offer Document

carefully and in full before making that decision.

NON-STANDARD DESIGNATION

Synlait has been designated as a 'Non-Standard' (NS) issuer by

NZX due to the nature of the Constitution. In particular, Bright Dairy

and Food Co Limited (which holds its shares in Synlait through its

wholly-owned subsidiary, Bright Dairy Holding Limited) has the

right to appoint four Directors to the Board. Further details of these

director appointment rights are included on pages 165 to 168 of

Synlait's Annual Report for the financial year ended 31 July 2020.

NZX WAIVERS

Synlait is making the Placement and the Offer in reliance on the

NZX Waivers, comprising the Class Waiver and the Synlait Waiver.

The Class Waiver provides a waiver from Listing Rule 4.5 and a

ruling in relation to the definition of "share purchase plan", and the

Synlait Waiver provides waivers from Listing Rules 4.5.1, 4.5.1(e)(iii),

4.19.1 and 5.2.1.

The effect of the NZX Waivers in the context of the Placement and

the Offer is to permit:

• an increased number of Shares (from what is otherwise

provided for under the Listing Rules) to be issued under the

Placement and the Offer without shareholder approval;

• the Offer to be fully underwritten, to allow any Offer Shares

not taken up by eligible shareholders under the Offer to

be issued to other persons without requiring shareholder

approval (which when aggregated with the number of

Shares issued under the Placement, may exceed the

Placement threshold provided under the Listing Rules as

modified by the Class Waiver);

• Bright, The a2 Milk Company Limited and other Related

Parties to be issued Shares in the Placement having an

aggregate value above 10% of Synlait's Average Market

Capitalisation without shareholder approval (as such terms

are defined in the Listing Rules); and

• Bright to be issued such number of Shares under the

Placement (including certain of those Shares on the

Allotment Date) that will ensure it is not diluted as a result

of the Offer, which would otherwise cause Bright to lose its

director appointment rights under the Constitution. Further

details of these director appointment rights are included on

pages 165 to 168 of Synlait's Annual Report for the financial

year ended 31 July 2020.

The Synlait Waivers are subject to certain conditions, as set out

in the terms of such waivers (a copy of which is available at

www.nzx.com and www.asx.com.au under the ticker code "SML"

and "SM1", respectively). The conditions include that the waivers

are disclosed in this Offer Document and in Synlait's annual

report for the financial year ending 31 July 2021 and that certain

certifications are provided by Synlait directors to NZX Regulation.

ASIC RELIEF

Synlait has obtained specific ASIC relief to allow Australian

investors to participate in the Offer up to NZ$50,000. However,

Synlait has set the maximum Australian dollar application amount

at A$47,000 to allow for NZ$/AU$ exchange rate movements up

to the closing date of the Offer.

NO GUARANTEE

No person named in this Offer Document (nor any other person)

guarantees the Offer Shares to be issued pursuant to the Offer or

warrants the future performance of Synlait or any return on any

investment made pursuant to this Offer Document.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Dear Shareholder,

OFFER DETAILS

On 10 November 2020 we announced plans to raise approximately

NZ$200 million of new equity through a placement of new shares

(Placement) of approximately NZ$180 million and a share purchase

plan (the Offer) of NZ$20 million (together, the Capital Raising). The

Placement was completed on 11 November 2020 and is expected

to successfully raise approximately NZ$180 million.

On behalf of the Board, I invite all eligible shareholders to

participate in the Offer. Eligible shareholders are those who were

recorded in Synlait's share register at 7:00pm NZDT / 5:00pm

AEDT on 9 November 2020 as being a holder of Synlait shares

and having an address in New Zealand or Australia.

This opportunity gives all eligible shareholders in New Zealand

and Australia the opportunity to purchase up to NZ$50,000 /

A$47,000 of new shares in Synlait (subject to scaling) without

incurring brokerage or other transaction costs, at the lower of $5.10

(being the same price as the Placement) or a 2.5% discount to the

5-day volume weighted average market price prior to the Offer

close. The new shares are expected to be allotted on or around 1

December 2020. They will rank equally with existing Synlait shares

at that date.

OFFER RATIONALE

Proceeds from the Capital Raising will support Synlait to

complete the investment phase of its strategy. This includes the

customisation of Synlait Pokeno and Auckland for processing and

packaging equipment to service our new multinational customer.

In addition to this, proceeds will be used to strengthen our balance

sheet to provide more financial headroom as Synlait navigates

COVID-19, which is having an unpredictable impact on the stability

of its current and future earnings, and to create capacity to deliver

on our purpose: Doing Milk Differently For A Healthier World.

OFFER PARTICIPATION

Participation in the Offer is optional, and eligible shareholders

have the option to apply for as many or as few new shares in the

Offer as they want, up to the cap of NZ$50,000 / A$47,000. This

is the maximum amount permitted under the NZX Listing Rules,

as increased by the recent class waiver granted by NZX. Synlait

has obtained specific ASIC relief to allow Australian investors

to participate up to NZ$50,000. However, Synlait has set the

maximum Australian dollar application amount at A$47,000 to

allow for NZ$/AU$ exchange rate movements up to the closing

date of the Offer.

If the Offer is oversubscribed, applications will be scaled having

regard to existing shareholdings on 7:00pm NZDT / 5:00pm

AEDT on 9 November 2020 (being the Record Date for the Offer).

These Questions and Answers are a summary only and

you should refer to the attached Terms and Conditions for

further information.

1. WHAT IS THE OFFER?

The Offer allows Eligible Shareholders to purchase Offer Shares

without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs. Synlait

is inviting Applications for up to NZ$20 million of Offer Shares in

aggregate.

with, all Shares currently on issue. The Offer Shares will,

immediately after issue, be quoted on the NZX Main Board and

the ASX.

2. WHAT WILL THE PROCEEDS BE USED FOR?

Synlait is raising equity under the Offer and the Placement to:

(a) complete the investment phase of its strategy, including the

customisation of Synlait Pokeno and Auckland for processing and

packaging equipment to service its new multinational customer; and

(b) strengthen its balance sheet to:

• provide more financial headroom as it navigates

COVID-19, which is having an unpredictable impact on

the stability of its current and future earnings; and

• create capacity to deliver on its purpose: Doing Milk

Differently For A Healthier World.

3. AM I ELIGIBLE?

Shareholders with a registered address in New Zealand or

Australia at 7.00pm NZDT / 5.00pm AEDT on the Record Date are

eligible to participate in the Offer. Please refer to clause 2 of the

Terms and Conditions.

4. WHAT IS THE PRICE OF THE OFFER SHARES?

(a) NZ$5.10 per Offer Share (representing a 14% discount to

Synlait's last trading share price of NZ$5.93 on the NZX Main

5. HOW MANY OFFER SHARES CAN I PURCHASE?

Eligible Shareholders may elect to apply for a dollar amount of

Synlait has obtained specific ASIC relief to allow Australian

If you apply for an Australian dollar amount of Offer Shares,

amount you applied for exceeding the NZ$50,000 regulatory

limit, Offer Shares having a total issue price equal to NZ$50,000

(rounded down) will be issued to you (subject to scaling) and

you will be refunded the excess cash amount if it is greater than

NZ$5.00.

Synlait is accepting Applications for up to NZ$20 million

of Offer Shares in aggregate. Applications may need to be

scaled depending on the Applications received. Any scaling of

Applications will be carried out in accordance with clause 9 of the

Terms and Conditions.

6. ARE THERE ANY CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER?

No. However, Synlait reserves the right to terminate the Offer at

any time prior to the issue of Offer Shares on the Allotment Date.

If the Offer is terminated for any reason, all Application monies

will be returned to you and no Offer Shares will be allotted under

the Offer. No interest will be payable on any monies returned

to you. Refunds will not be paid for any difference arising solely

due to rounding or where the aggregate amount of the refund

payable to you is less than NZ$5.00.

7. WHAT IF I OWN SHARES THROUGH A TRUSTEE OR

CUSTODIAN?

If you own Shares through a trustee or Custodian, then subject to

certain certification requirements and other conditions, you may

instruct the trustee or Custodian to purchase Offer Shares on

your behalf, up to the NZ$50,000 / A$47,000 limit.

If you own Shares through a trustee or Custodian and also own

Shares in your own name, then you may either purchase Offer

Shares yourself or instruct your trustee or Custodian to purchase

Offer Shares on your behalf. You may not do both.

If you are a Custodian or hold Shares through a Custodian,

please refer to clause 4 of the Terms and Conditions.

PART 3: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

9
8. WHAT ABOUT JOINT HOLDERS?

Joint holders are treated as a single shareholder under the terms

of the Offer. As a group, they can apply for a dollar amount of

Offer Shares up to a maximum value of NZ$50,000 / A$47,000.

9. DO I HAVE TO PARTICIPATE?

No. Participation is entirely voluntary.

10. WILL MY SHAREHOLDING BE DILUTED IF I DO

NOT PARTICIPATE?

If you choose not to participate in the Offer, your shareholding

percentage in Synlait will be diluted. For example, assuming that

NZ$200 million is raised under the Placement and the Offer and

the Offer Shares are issued at NZ$5.10 per Offer Share,

approximately 3,921,568 Shares will be issued and if you do not

elect to acquire any Offer Shares in the Offer (and did not receive

any Shares under the Placement), your shareholding will be diluted

by approximately 17.9%.

This dilution will relate only to your percentage shareholding of

Synlait as the number of Shares that you hold will not change as a

result of not participating in the Offer.

The Offer is not a pro-rata offer and, even if you participate in the

Offer, your shareholding percentage in Synlait may change.

11. IS THIS OFFER TRANSFERABLE TO ANOTHER

PERSON?

No. This Offer is personal to you and you may not transfer your

right to purchase Offer Shares under the Offer to anyone else.

12. WHAT ARE THE RISKS TO INVESTING IN THE OFFER?

The events relating to COVID-19 have recently resulted in

significant market falls and volatility in New Zealand, Australia

and overseas, including the prices of securities traded on NZX

Main Board and ASX.

The market price of Shares may change materially between the

date this Offer opens, the date you apply for Offer Shares under

the Offer, and the date on which the Shares are allotted to you.

This is particularly the case given the wide fluctuations and

volatility in the share prices for many listed companies in recent

times due to the continuing impacts of COVID-19. There is no

certainty that this recent volatility will not continue or worsen,

which could have a materially adverse impact on the share price

for Synlait. Accordingly:

• the price paid for Offer Shares may be higher or lower than

the price at which Shares are trading on the NZX Main

Board or the ASX at the time Shares are issued under the

Offer;

• the market price of Offer Shares following allotment may be

higher or lower than the Issue Price; and

• it is possible that up to or after the Allotment Date, you may

be able to buy Shares at a lower price than the Issue Price.

Risks associated with returns on investments are particularly

acute during periods of elevated global financial market volatility.

You should:

(a) seek your own financial advice in relation to this Offer and

your participation under the Offer; and

(b) read the Investor Presentation in full, as it contains

important information to assist you in making an investment

decision in respect of the Offer. In particular, you should read

and consider pages 18 to 23 of the Investor Presentation

("Key Risks") before making an investment decision.

13. WHERE CAN I GET FURTHER INFORMATION?

You should read the Investor Presentation and other important

information released on 10 November 2020, which is available at

www.nzx.com and www.asx.com.au under the ticker code "SML"

and "SM1", respectively.

The Investor Presentation includes details of the rationale for the

Offer. It also provides an update as to guidance for the current

financial year and explains in more detail the expected impact of

the Offer, including a non-exhaustive summary of certain key risks

associated with Synlait and the Offer. You should read the Investor

Presentation in full, as it contains important information to assist

you in making an investment decision in respect of the Offer.

In particular, you should read and consider pages 18 to 23 of the

Investor Presentation ("Key Risks") before making an investment

decision.

Synlait's website: www.synlait.com. You may obtain, free of charge,

Listing Rules and the ASX Listing Rules. Market releases by Synlait

are available at www.nzx.com and www.asx.com.au under the

ticker code "SML" and "SM1", respectively. Synlait may, during the

Offer, make additional releases to NZX and ASX. Shareholders

should monitor Synlait's market announcements during the period

of the Offer. No release by Synlait to NZX or ASX will permit an

applicant to withdraw any previously submitted Application without

Synlait's prior written consent, whether or not there has been any

permissible variation of the Offer.

You are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on any

forward-looking statements such as indications of, and guidance

on, future earnings and financial position and performance

in any market releases made by Synlait, particularly in light

of the current economic climate and the significant volatility,

uncertainty and disruption caused by the outbreak of COVID-19.

issued to you under the Offer will be sent on the Despatch Date,

currently expected to be on or around 9 December 2020.

17. HOW MANY OFFER SHARES WILL I RECEIVE?

Subject to scaling, you will receive the number of Offer Shares

equal to the dollar amount of Offer Shares you have validly

applied for (and payment has been received in respect of) divided

by the Issue Price. If you have applied for an Australian dollar

amount of Offer Shares, your Application monies will be converted

to New Zealand dollars as described in Question 5 above (How

many Offer Shares can I purchase?). If the dollar amount of Offer

Shares you have applied for (or are allocated) does not equal a

whole number of Offer Shares once divided by the Issue Price, the

number of Offer Shares allotted to you will be rounded down to

the nearest Offer Share.

Any scaling of Applications will be carried out in accordance

with clause 9 of the Terms and Conditions.

18. WILL THE OFFER SHARES BE QUOTED?

The Offer Shares will be quoted on the NZX Main Board and the

ASX. It is expected that you will be able to commence trading

the Offer Shares allotted to you under the Offer on the NZX Main

Board on the Allotment Date and on the ASX on 2 December

19. WHY IS THERE A MAXIMUM APPLICATION AMOUNT?

The Offer needs to comply with the conditions imposed by

the Listing Rules and ASIC Corporations (Share and Interest

Purchase Plans) Instrument 2019/547 and as amended by ASIC

Instrument 20-1052. The offer of Offer Shares up to a maximum

value of NZ$50,000 / A$47,000 per Eligible Shareholder is being

undertaken:

(a) in New Zealand under Listing Rule 4.3.1(c) (Share Purchase

Plan), as modified by the Class Waiver; and

(b) in Australia in accordance with the relief granted under ASIC

Corporations (Share and Interest Purchase Plans) Instrument

2019/547 and as amended by ASIC Instrument 20-1052.

20. WHAT IS SYNLAIT'S DIVIDEND POLICY?

With a continuing growth agenda, Synlait does not expect to be

paying dividends in the foreseeable future. This means that it is

unlikely that you will receive any dividend payments from Synlait

in respect of your Shares (including any Offer Shares) in the

foreseeable future.

21. WHY ARE NOT ALL SHAREHOLDERS ELIGIBLE TO

PARTICIPATE IN THE OFFER?

Synlait considers that the legal requirements of jurisdictions other

than New Zealand and Australia are such that it would be unduly

onerous for Synlait to make the Offer in those jurisdictions. This

decision was made having regard to the number of Shareholders

in such overseas jurisdictions and the costs of complying with

overseas legal requirements.

22. FURTHER ASSISTANCE

If you have any further questions, please contact your broker,

financial, investment or other professional advisor before making

your investment decision.

If you have any questions about how to apply online or complete

the Application Form, please contact the Registrar as set out in

the Directory.

1. OFFER TIMETABLE

PART 4: TERMS AND CONDITIONS

2. ELIGIBLE SHAREHOLDERS

2.1. You may participate in the Offer if you are an Eligible

Shareholder. An Eligible Shareholder is a person who, at

7.00pm NZDT / 5.00pm AEDT on the Record Date, was

recorded in Synlait's share register as being a registered

holder of Existing Shares and having an address in New

Zealand or Australia, unless that person holds Shares on

behalf of another person who resides outside New Zealand

or Australia. For the avoidance of doubt, you are not eligible

to participate in the Offer if you are in the United States

or are acting for the account or benefit of a person in the

United States. If you are acting for the account or benefit

of a person in the United States, you are not permitted to

apply for or acquire Offer Shares for, or for the account or

benefit of, that person. Joint holders of Shares are taken to

be a single registered holder of Shares for the purposes of

determining whether they are an Eligible Shareholder and

the certification on the online application or Application

Form is taken to have been given by all of them.

2.2. If you are an Eligible Shareholder, your rights under this

Offer are personal to you and non-renounceable, so you

may not transfer them.

2.3. Synlait accepts no liability where an Eligible Shareholder

does not receive an Application Form, or does not receive

the Application Form in time.

Synlait has a discretion to change, at any time, any of the Closing Date, the Allotment Date and the Despatch Date (notwithstanding that the

Offer has opened, or Applications have been received) by lodging a revised timetable with NZX and ASX.

3. ISSUE PRICE AND NUMBER OF OFFER SHARES

3.1. The Issue Price for Offer Shares under the Offer will be the

lower of:

(a) NZ$5.10 per Offer Share (representing a 14% discount

to Synlait's last trading share price of NZ$5.93 on the

NZX Main Board on 9 November 2020 (being the last

trading day before the Placement was announced)

and which is the same price paid by investors in the

Placement); and

(b) a 2.5% discount to the volume weighted average

market price of the Shares traded on the NZX Main

Board over the five business day period prior to and

including the Closing Date, rounded down to the

nearest cent.

3.2. The Issue Price and the A$ Price will be fixed as at 7.00pm

NZDT / 5.00pm AEDT on 25 November 2020 (being the

Closing Date) and is expected to be announced through

NZX and ASX on 30 November 2020.

3.3. The Issue Price determined above is a New Zealand dollar

amount. If you apply for an Australian dollar amount of Offer

Shares, Synlait will convert the New Zealand dollar Issue

Price to Australian dollars at the Exchange Rate. The Issue

Price in Australian dollars is expected to be announced

through NZX and ASX on 30 November 2020.

3.4. Subject to scaling and clause 5.3 of these Terms and

Conditions, you will receive the number of Offer Shares

equal to the dollar amount of Offer Shares you have validly

applied for (and payment has been received in respect of)

divided by the Issue Price. If the dollar amount of Offer

Shares you have applied for (or are allocated) does not

equal a whole number of Offer Shares once divided by the

Issue Price, the number of Offer Shares allotted to you will

be rounded down to the nearest Offer Share.

3.5. Subject to clause 4.2 and clause 5.3 of these Terms and

Conditions, Eligible Shareholders may elect to purchase

a dollar amount of Offer Shares up to a maximum value of

NZ$50,000 / A$47,000, by filling in the appropriate box on

the online application or Application Form. The number

of Offer Shares you receive on the Allotment Date may be

subject to scaling, as described in clause 9 of these Terms

and Conditions.

3.6. Eligible Shareholders may only make a single Application

for Offer Shares under the Offer. This applies to all Eligible

Shareholders, including those who receive more than

one offer under the Offer (for example, because they hold

Shares in more than one capacity) and including whether

the Eligible Shareholder is applying through a Custodian or

on his or her own behalf. Accordingly, if you own Shares

through a trustee or Custodian and also own Shares in your

own name, then you may either purchase Offer Shares

yourself or instruct your trustee or Custodian to purchase

Offer Shares on your behalf. You may not do both.

(d) your Application, Custodian Certificate (if applicable)

or payment is received after the Closing Date. While

(l) you agree to indemnify Synlait for, and to pay to

Synlait within five business days of demand, any

dishonour fees or other costs Synlait may incur

in presenting a cheque for payment which is

dishonoured;

(m) you acknowledge that none of Synlait, its advisers or

agents has provided you with investment advice or

financial product advice, and that none of them has an

obligation to provide advice concerning your decision

to apply for and purchase Offer Shares under the

Offer;

(n) you acknowledge the risk that the market price for the

Shares may change materially between the Opening

Date, the date you apply for Offer Shares under the

Offer and the Allotment Date. This is particularly the

case given the wide fluctuations and volatility in the

share prices for many listed companies in recent

times due to the continuing impacts of COVID-19.

Accordingly, you acknowledge that:

(i) the price paid for Offer Shares may be higher or

lower than the price at which Shares are trading

on the NZX Main Board or the ASX at the time

Offer Shares are issued under the Offer;

(ii) the market price of Offer Shares following

allotment may be higher or lower than the Issue

Price;

(iii) it is possible that up to or after the Allotment

Date, you may be able to buy Shares at a lower

price than the Issue Price; and

(iv) a change in the market price of Shares prior to

the Issue Price being determined may affect the

Issue Price;

(o) you acknowledge that Synlait is not liable for any

exercise of its discretions referred to in these Terms

and Conditions;

(p) you represent and warrant that you are not located

in the Unites States and you are not acting for the

account or benefit of a person in the United States

(or in the event that you are acting for the account or

benefit of a person in the United States, you are not

applying for, or acquiring, any Offer Shares for the

account or benefit of that person);

(q) you have not, and will not, send this Offer Document

or any materials relating to the Offer to any person

in the United States or to any person in any country

outside New Zealand and Australia, and agree

to provide (and direct your nominee or custodian

to provide) any requested substantiation of your

eligibility to participate in the Offer and of your holding

of Shares at the Record Date;

(r) you acknowledge and agree that the Offer Shares

have not, and will not be, registered under the U.S.

Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or

other jurisdictions in the United States, or in any other

jurisdiction outside New Zealand or Australia and

accordingly, the Offer Shares may not be offered, sold

or otherwise transferred, directly or indirectly, in the

United States or to any person acting for the account

or benefit of a person in the United States (to the

extent such person is acting for the account or benefit

of a person in the United States);

(s) you acknowledge and agree that, if in the future you

decide to sell or otherwise transfer the Offer Shares,

you will only do so in the regular way for transactions

on the NZX Main Board or ASX where neither you

nor any person acting on your behalf know, or have

reason to know, that the sale has been pre-arranged

with, or that the purchaser is a person in the United

States;

(t) you irrevocably and unconditionally agree to these

Terms and Conditions and agree not to do any act or

thing which would be contrary to the spirit, intention or

purpose of the Offer; and

(u) if you are acting as a trustee, nominee or Custodian,

each beneficial holder on whose behalf you are

applying for and acquiring Offer Shares is resident

in New Zealand or Australia and is not in the United

States.

7.2. If a Custodian applies to purchase Offer Shares under the

Offer for a beneficial owner pursuant to clause 4.2:

will be taken to be given by the beneficial owner on

whose behalf the Custodian is applying to purchase

Offer Shares; and

(b) in addition to the matters referred to in clause 7.1, the

Custodian also certifies each of the matters set out in

the Custodian Certificate.

8. ISSUE PRICE

8.1. You agree to pay the Issue Price per Offer Share up to the

maximum dollar amount you have specified in your online

application or on the Application Form.

9. SCALING

9.1. Scaling of Applications will be required if Synlait receives

Applications in excess of the maximum amount to be raised

under the Offer, being NZ$20 million.

9.2. Any scaling of Applications will be undertaken by Synlait

having regard to the number of Existing Shares held by

the applicant (or, in the case of an Application made by a

Custodian, the relevant beneficial owner(s)) at the Record

Date.

9.3. If scaling produces a fractional number, the number of Offer

Shares you will be allotted will be rounded down to the

nearest whole number of Offer Shares.

9.4. If your Application is scaled, your application monies will

be greater than the value of the Offer Shares you will

be allotted. Subject to clause 6.4, the difference will be

refunded to the bank account held by the Registrar within

five business days of the Allotment Date. However, if

you have not provided your bank account details to the

Registrar, such funds will be withheld by the Registrar until

you have provided those bank account details. No interest

will be paid on any application monies returned to you.

10. OFFER SHARES

10.1. Offer Shares issued under the Offer will rank equally with,

and have the same voting rights, dividend rights and other

entitlements as, existing fully paid Shares quoted on the

NZX Main Board and the ASX.

10.2. Applicants for Offer Shares will be bound by the

Constitution and the terms of the Offer set out in this Offer

Document.

10.3. It is a term of the Offer that Synlait will take any necessary

steps to ensure that the Offer Shares are immediately after

issue quoted on the NZX Main Board and the ASX.

10.4. The Offer Shares will be quoted on the NZX Main Board,

and an application will be made by Synlait for the Offer

Shares to be issued under the Offer to be quoted on the

ASX. The NZX Main Board is a registered market operated

by NZX (which is a licensed market operator regulated

under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013). However,

neither NZX nor ASX accepts any responsibility for any

statement in this Offer Document.

10.5. You cannot trade in any Offer Shares issued to you pursuant

to the Offer, either as principal or agent, until quotation of

the Offer Shares on the NZX Main Board and the ASX (as

relevant) in accordance with the Listing Rules and the ASX

Listing Rules. Synlait expects that the Offer Shares will

commence trading on the NZX Main Board on the Allotment

Date, and on the ASX on 2 December 2020 (being the day

after the Allotment Date).

11. AMENDMENTS TO THE OFFER AND WAIVER OF

COMPLIANCE

11.1. Notwithstanding any other term or condition of the Offer,

the Application Form and/or the Offer website, Synlait may,

at its discretion:

(a) make non-material modifications to the Offer or the

Terms and Conditions (in which case Applications for

Offer Shares under the Offer will remain binding on

the applicant notwithstanding such modification and

irrespective of whether an Application was received

by the Registrar before or after such modification is

made); and/or

(b) suspend or terminate the Offer at any time prior to

the issue of Offer Shares under the Offer. If the Offer

is terminated, Application monies will be refunded to

applicants without interest within five business days of

termination.

provision of these Terms and Conditions (which will be

done in accordance with Australian and New Zealand law,

construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand.

13. DISPUTES

13.1. If any dispute arises in connection with the Offer, Synlait

may settle it in any manner it thinks fit. It may do so

generally or in relation to any particular Eligible Shareholder,

applicant, Application or Share. Synlait's decision will be

final and binding.

14. INCONSISTENCY

14.1. Unless otherwise determined by the Board, in the event of

any inconsistency between the Terms and Conditions of the
