Dear Alistair,

NZ RegCo Price Enquiry

I write in response to NZ RegCo’s letter to Wellington Drive Technologies Limited (“WDT” or “Company”)

dated 14 January 2021 noting an increase in WDT’s share price of 31.2 % from the opening price on 8

January to 12.45 pm on 14 January. You are seeking advice from WDT whether the Company continues to

comply with Listing Rule 3.1.1.

WDT advises it has reviewed all information of which it is aware and advises it continues to comply with

Listing Rule 3.1.1.

WDT notes the continuing market volatility due to COVID, but at this time does not have any further update

to the Company’s last NZX market release made on 28 October 2020 which included Outlook comments.

WDT has a scheduled performance review later next week and may, in the interests of keeping the market

informed, provide a further market update following that review.


Kind Regards




John McMahon

Director and Chair of WDT’s Audit & Risk Committee

rule provides limited exceptions to this obligation. Material Information does not need to be disclosed

where a reasonable person would not expect the information to be disclosed and where the

information is confidential and its confidentiality is maintained and where one of five safe harbours

applies.


The price of WDT has increased from $0.077, being the market open price on 8 January 2021 to

$0.101, being the price at 12:45 PM on 14 January 2021. This represents a total increase of

$0.024, or 31.2%.


Given this increase in the price of WDT shares, please advise NZ RegCo whether WDT continues

to comply with Listing Rule 3.1.1.
