1

.

cars and excellent service via its integrated supply chain with operations in Japan and New Zealand.

•Avoided entering the capital-intensive vehicle finance space until retail base established.

Favourable Market Dynamics

New Zealand is an attractive automotive market. New Zealanders own roughly 0.7 light passenger

motor vehicles per person, which is amongst the highest levels of private vehicle ownership globally

1

.

Increased Migration: Strong migration has historically been a driver of light vehicle fleet growth in New Zealand, and the attractiveness of the country in the

global context should continue to support interest in inbound immigration.

Contracting number of dealers: The number of vehicle dealerships in New Zealand has declined over the last two years, from 3,435 in November 2018 to 3,094

in October 2020

3

. NZAI believes this trend will result in a lower level of competition and a stronger competitive position for NZAI.

Shift towards electric vehicles: NZIA is not beholden to a single manufacturer and is therefore indifferent to the increase in consumer interest in electric

vehicles. This consumer preference shift may in fact benefit NZAI by increasing the rate at which people want to replace their c ars.

Increased Health Concern: Covid-19 concerns may drive consumers to favour private vehicles over public transport, supporting higher levels of car ownership

and demand over the medium-term.

Growth-Orientated Automotive Platform

NZAI is positioned to build a diversified Automotive Group, leveraging off its Automotive Retail

division to build a profitable finance book.

Improve digital

offering

Grow NZMF’s loan book by offering

Automotive retail customers finance

from NZMF (historically provided

through a range of third party finance

companies).

Improve digital offering by upgrading

the Company’s digital platform so

customers can purchase and pay for

vehicles directly online.

Vertical integration

with Finance

The close relationship between the divisions means that the NZAI finance business has a clear operating cost advantage over independent finance companies of

equivalent size. The risk and cost of acquiring sufficient business to grow the finance book is also minimiseddue to the ability of NZAI to cross-sell to its retail

customer base.

Page 10| Investor Presentation | NZ Automotive Investments Limited
Digital First Customer Experience

NZAI was an early adopter of social media and digital advertising, an approach which caters to its

target market of everyday New Zealanders.

Digital First approach: Early adopter of social media and digital advertising, which caters to its target market

of 20 –45-year-olds.

The customer can arrive at its dealerships ready to purchase a car that they have already viewed and agreed to

a price online:

•Reducing the time salespeople spend with each customer;

•Increasing inventory turnover; and

•Minimisingthe need for a large dealership footprint in high profile locations. This allows 2CC’s

dealerships to be based largely in industrial locations with lower lease costs.

Brand Building and Recognition: The adopted marketing strategy has enabled 2CC to build a brand identity

with over 130,000 followers on Facebook and Instagram. The Company runs a range of promotional activities

over its social media platforms, which are managed by its internal marketing team.

Aging Customer Base: As these consumers age over time and continue through multiple vehicle life cycles,

their brand affinity with 2CC provides a customer base for used car purchases and cross-selling of ancillary

products.

NZX Listing Considerations

NZAI has elected a direct listing on the NZX for several reasons.

Provide access to capital to help fund its recently established Vehicle Finance division.

Support the growth of the Company’s digital platform model, building market intelligence and

thus improving our understanding of the New Zealand driver demographics.

Permit Eugene Williams and David Sena to achieve some liquidity after building the business to

its current scale over nearly 10 years of operation.

Position the Company to consolidate key geographic markets throughout New Zealand where it

does not have a physical presence.

Increase the profile of NZAI, both domestically and internationally.
