Amount

1.5 Who is Responsible for
Repaying You?
SkyCity is responsible for paying
interest on the Bonds and for the
repayment of the Bonds.
The obligations of SkyCity to make
payments with respect to the Bonds
are guaranteed by the Guarantors
under the Guarantee. As at the date
of this PDS, those members of the
SkyCity Group named in the definition
of “Guarantors” in the Glossary are the
Guarantors and no other members
of the SkyCity Group are Guarantors.
Other members of the SkyCity Group
may become Guarantors from time
to time. A Guarantor (including any
other member of the SkyCity Group
that becomes a Guarantor after the
date of this PDS) may be released in
certain circumstances, including if it
has ceased to be a guarantor under
SkyCity’s Principal Lending Facilities,
is not otherwise required to be a
Guarantor and no Event of Default has
occurred or is continuing.
See section 5.3 of this PDS
(Guarantees) for more information.
1.6 How You Can Get Your
Money Out Early
You have no right to require SkyCity
to repay your Bonds prior to the
Maturity Date. SkyCity may however
be required to repay the Bonds early
if there is an Event of Default (see
section 5 of this PDS (Key features of
the Bonds) for more information).
SkyCity has the right to redeem all
of the Bonds for cash on any Interest
Payment Date on or after the third
anniversary of the Issue Date by giving
Bondholders and the Supervisor not
less than 20 Business Days’ notice in
writing. If Bonds are redeemed early
in this manner, they will be redeemed
for the greater of their Principal
Amount or their average market price
as calculated in accordance with
the Series Supplement (adjusted
to exclude the value attributable
to the next scheduled but unpaid
interest payment), in each case plus
all accrued interest as at the early
redemption date and any other
amount due and payable in respect
of the Bonds (less withholding tax
and any other required withholdings
or deductions) – as calculated in the
manner described in section 3.1 of this
PDS (Terms of the Offer).
See section 5 of this PDS (Key features
of the Bonds) for more information.
SkyCity intends to quote these Bonds
on the NZX Debt Market. This means
you may be able to sell them on the
NZX Debt Market before the end
of their term if there are interested
buyers. If you sell your Bonds, the price
you get will vary depending on factors
such as the financial condition of the
SkyCity Group and movements in the
market interest rates. You may receive
less than the full amount that you
paid for them.
1.7 How the Bonds Rank for
Repayment
The Bonds are unsecured,
unsubordinated, fixed rate debt
obligations of SkyCity. This means
that, on a liquidation of SkyCity, your
rights and claims as a Bondholder:
• will rank after all secured creditors
(if any) and creditors preferred by
law (e.g. Inland Revenue in respect
of certain unpaid tax);
• will rank equally with other
Bondholders and equally among
the rights and claims of holders
of equal ranking obligations
(including the lenders of SkyCity’s
bank debt and the holders of
the USPP Notes and all other
unsecured obligations, including
trade creditors); and
• will rank ahead of holders of
subordinated debt (if any) and
ahead of holders of Shares.
Further important information on the
ranking of the Bonds on a liquidation
of SkyCity can be found in section 5 of
this PDS (Key features of the Bonds).
1.8 No Security
The Bonds are not secured against
any asset of the SkyCity Group.
1.9 Key Risks Affecting
this Investment
Investments in debt securities have
risks. A key risk is that SkyCity does not
meet its commitments to repay you or
pay you interest (credit risk). Section
6 of the PDS (Risks of investing)
discusses the main factors that give
rise to the risk. You should consider if
the credit risk of these debt securities
is suitable for you.
The interest rate for these Bonds
should also reflect the degree
of credit risk. In general, higher
returns are demanded by investors
from businesses with higher risk of
defaulting on their commitments. You
need to decide whether the Offer is
fair. SkyCity considers that the most
significant risk factors are:
• COVID-19 Pandemic and Business
Continuity Risk: The COVID-19
pandemic, related actions taken
in response by the New Zealand,
Australian and other governments
(including national and regional
lockdowns, border closures and
travel restrictions) and the effects
of the pandemic on global and
domestic economies have had,
and are likely to continue to have, a
material adverse effect on SkyCity’s
operations, liquidity and financial
performance. Risks arising from
the outbreak of infectious disease,
including the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic, are particularly relevant
to SkyCity as a gaming, hospitality
and entertainment provider.
Closure of its facilities during
government-imposed lockdowns,
social distancing measures,
restrictions on public gatherings
and decreased levels of domestic
and international visitors have
together had a significant impact
on SkyCity’s financial performance.
The wider ongoing health and
5
safety risks and potential economic
impacts of COVID-19 could have
further material adverse effects
on SkyCity’s activity levels and
resulting revenues for an unknown
duration.
• Highly Regulated Industry Risk:
SkyCity operates in industries which
are highly regulated in each of the
jurisdictions in which it has business
operations. In particular, the casino
industry is highly regulated and
SkyCity requires the approval of
the relevant gaming regulators
(usually in the form of licences)
in order to conduct its business.
Consequently, SkyCity’s operations,
its financial performance and future
prospects are highly dependent
upon the regulatory framework in
which it operates and maintenance
of its licences. The regulatory
framework (consisting of
legislation, regulation and
government policy, including
taxation) is subject to change
from time to time in both material
and immaterial respects, which
may impact the environment in
which SkyCity operates and the
cost of operating its business.
Any unfavourable changes to this
regulatory framework could have
a significant negative impact on
SkyCity’s operations and financial
performance.
• Earnings Concentration in
Auckland Risk: SkyCity’s
Auckland property contributed
approximately 80% of SkyCity
Group normalised EBITDA
(before corporate costs) for the
year ended 30 June 2020.
A significant disruption to SkyCity’s
Auckland property could have a
significant negative impact on
SkyCity’s operations and financial
performance, including through a
permanent loss of customers.
• Completion of NZICC Project
Risk: There are significant
risks associated with SkyCity’s
construction of the New Zealand
International Convention Centre
(NZICC) and Horizon Hotel in
Auckland (NZICC Project):
– SkyCity is required to complete
the development of the NZICC by
2 January 2025 (Completion Long
Stop Date) under the Project
and Licensing Agreement for
the NZICC (NZICC Agreement).
If SkyCity does not complete the
development of the NZICC by the
Completion Long Stop Date, then
the New Zealand Government
can seek to terminate the NZICC
Agreement. In this situation,
SkyCity could lose the benefits of
the regulatory and operational
concessions at its Auckland
property provided for under the
NZICC Agreement, including the
extension of the Auckland casino
licence to 2048.
– SkyCity also faces ongoing
uncertainty regarding the total
cost of the NZICC Project, which
could have a significant negative
impact on SkyCity’s financial
position.
– SkyCity also has obligations
under the concession agreement
with (now) MPF Parking Limited
(Macquarie) pursuant to which
SkyCity Auckland Limited
granted a long term concession
over the SkyCity Auckland car
parks to Macquarie. SkyCity is
required to make payments to
Macquarie for car parks that
are not available under the
concession agreement (including
those impacted by the NZICC
Project works and remediation
activities). Macquarie may
also have other contractual
rights under that agreement
which could negatively impact
SkyCity’s financial position and
financial performance in the
event that the NZICC car parks
are not made available within
the timeframe required by the
Concession Agreement and
which results in Macquarie
validly exercising those
contractual rights (if available).
This summary does not cover all of
the risks of investing in the Bonds. You
should also read section 5 of this PDS
(Key features of the Bonds) and section
6 of this PDS (Risks of investing).
1.10 What is SkyCity’s
Credit Rating?
A credit rating is an independent
opinion of the capability and
willingness of an entity to repay
its debts (in other words, its
creditworthiness). It is not a guarantee
that the financial product being
offered is a safe investment. A credit
rating should be considered alongside
all other relevant information when
making an investment decision.
SkyCity has been rated by S&P Global
Ratings (Standard & Poor’s). Standard
& Poor’s gives ratings from ‘AAA’
through to ‘C’.
As at the date of this PDS, SkyCity has
been given a corporate credit rating
by Standard & Poor’s of BBB- (with a
stable outlook).
The Bonds are to be rated. As at
the date of this PDS, SkyCity has
not received a credit rating for the
Bonds. However, SkyCity expects
that Standard & Poor’s will assign the
Bonds a credit rating prior to the Issue
Date. SkyCity expects that the initial
credit rating assigned by Standard &
Poor’s to the Bonds would be the same
as SkyCity’s corporate credit rating.
1.11 Where You Can Find Other
Market Information About
SkyCity
The Offer is being made under a
short-form disclosure process that
SkyCity is permitted to use because
the Bonds rank in priority to existing
quoted financial products of SkyCity.
The existing quoted financial products
are ordinary shares in SkyCity, which
are traded on the NZX Main Board

obligation that requires it to notify

5.1 The Supervisor
The Supervisor is appointed to act as supervisor and
trustee for the Bondholders on the terms contained

5.2 Ranking
The Bonds constitute unsecured, unsubordinated, debt obligations of SkyCity.
On a liquidation of SkyCity, amounts owing to Bondholders rank equally with all other unsecured,
unsubordinated obligations of SkyCity. Amounts owing under the Guarantee constitute unsecured,
unsubordinated debt obligations of the relevant Guarantor and, on a liquidation of the Guarantor, amounts
owing to Bondholders under the Guarantee rank equally with all other unsecured, unsubordinated
obligations of the relevant Guarantor.
The ranking of the Bonds on a liquidation of SkyCity is summarised in the following diagram.

the Bonds. They are subject to rounding adjustments.
2. Liabilities that rank in priority to the Bonds include:
(a) employee entitlements for unpaid salaries and wages, holiday pay and bonuses, and PAYE;
(b) amounts owing to Inland Revenue or Australian tax authorities for unpaid taxes; and
(c) registered personal property security interests. SkyCity Group pays most of its local creditors on a weekly payment cycle. In the ordinary
course of business, some trade creditors may retain a security in the products they have sold to SkyCity Group until they are paid for.
For the purposes of this diagram, SkyCity has treated as a secured claim the total balance (as at 31 March 2021) owing to each creditor
who has registered a personal property security interest against SkyCity Group.
3. The final size of the Offer will not materially impact this number as the proceeds of the Offer will be used to reduce the drawings on
SkyCity Group’s bank facilities which rank equally with the Bonds.

(a) Restrictions on Incurring Indebtedness
The Trust Deed contains financial covenants
(described below under section 5.4 of this PDS
(Financial Covenants)) that indirectly restrict the
ability of SkyCity to incur indebtedness.
SkyCity or other members of the SkyCity Group are
also party to the documents evidencing the Bank
Debt and the USPP Notes, each of which contain
covenants that indirectly restrict the ability of
SkyCity to incur indebtedness, including:
(i) financial covenants that are equivalent to or
more restrictive than those in the Trust Deed
(described below under section 5.4 of this PDS
(Financial Covenants)); and
(ii) additional financial covenants that restrict the
amount of borrowed money indebtedness or
financing costs that the consolidated group can
incur as a percentage of EBITDA (as defined in
those documents).
Other than compliance with the financial covenants
in the Trust Deed, and the documents evidencing
the Bank Debt and the USPP Notes, none of the
Trust Deed or the documents evidencing the Bank
Debt or the USPP Notes restrict SkyCity or any other
Guarantor from creating (and accordingly SkyCity
or another Guarantor could at any time create),
further liabilities that rank equally with, in priority
to, or subordinate to the Bonds on a liquidation of
SkyCity.
For example, provided it complies with the terms
of the Trust Deed and the documents evidencing
the Bank Debt and the USPP Notes, SkyCity could
enter into new debt facilities that rank equally with
the Bonds. SkyCity also incurs trade liabilities and
tax liabilities on a day-to-day basis that rank equally
with or (in the case of some tax liabilities) ahead of
the Bonds.
In addition, provided SkyCity complies with the
limitations on creating security described below,
SkyCity or a Guarantor could grant security to a
creditor (including a trade creditor) with the effect
that the relevant debt or liability ranks ahead of the
Bonds on a liquidation of SkyCity.
(b) New Security Interests
Under the Trust Deed, SkyCity undertakes to the
Supervisor and each Bondholder that (other than
with the consent of the Supervisor) SkyCity and the
Guarantors will not create any security unless:
(i) no Event of Default (nor any other event or
circumstance which with the lapse of time,
giving of notice or fulfilment of any other
condition would constitute an Event of Default)
has occurred and is continuing;
(ii) that security is not over or in relation to a casino
licence or casino lease; and
(iii) the creation and existence of that security does
not cause a breach of the total prior ranking
debt covenant (described below under section
5.4(a) of this PDS (Financial Covenants)).
SkyCity or another Guarantor may also create
security that falls within one of the categories of
a permitted security under the terms of the Trust
Deed. Permitted security includes security in the
ordinary course of business in favour of a supplier
over goods supplied and which is due to be and is
actually discharged within 120 days, rights of set-off
and netting of accounts arising in the ordinary
course of business and certain security given in
respect of SkyCity Adelaide as required by relevant
legislation. Permitted security interests can be
created in addition to security that is permitted
under the total prior ranking debt covenant.
Accordingly, if SkyCity or a Guarantor exercised
its right to grant such security, the claims of the
beneficiaries of that security will rank ahead of the
claims of Bondholders on a liquidation of SkyCity.
For full details of these covenants, see clauses
11.2(b) and 11.3(a) of the Trust Deed and the related
definitions in clause 1.1 of the Trust Deed.
Under the terms of the documents evidencing the
Bank Debt and the USPP Notes, SkyCity and the
applicable guarantors of the Bank Debt and the
USPP Notes have agreed to similar (and, in some
cases, more restrictive) undertakings to those
referred to above that restrict the ability of SkyCity
and the Guarantors to grant new security interests
that rank equally with, or in priority to, amounts
owed to Bondholders on a liquidation of SkyCity.
5.3 Guarantees
Under the terms of the Deed of Guarantee entered
into by the Guarantors in favour of the Supervisor,
the obligations of SkyCity with respect to the Bonds
(including the obligation to repay the Bonds and to
pay any amount owed to the Supervisor under the
SkyCity Entertainment Group Product Disclosure Statement 30 April 2021
16
Trust Deed (which would include the Supervisor’s
fees and costs)) are jointly and severally guaranteed
by the Guarantors.
There are no limits on the obligations of any
Guarantor in respect of amounts owing under the
Trust Deed.
Who are the Guarantors?
Not every member of the SkyCity Group is required
to be a Guarantor.
As at the date of this PDS, those members of
the SkyCity Group named in the definition of
“Guarantors” in the Glossary are the Guarantors
and no other members of the SkyCity Group are
Guarantors.
Members of the SkyCity Group may become
(or cease to be) Guarantors from time to time
in accordance with the terms of the Deed of
Guarantee and the Trust Deed.
SkyCity has undertaken to the Supervisor and each
Bondholder that it will ensure that, at all times (but
subject to the grace periods for joining a subsidiary
as set out in clause 3.1(a) of the Deed of Guarantee),
the Guarantors shall consist of not less than all
members of the SkyCity Group who are guarantors
or obligors of borrowed money indebtedness owing
pursuant to any Principal Lending Facility (and
for this reason, SkyCity is included as a Guarantor
despite being the issuer of the Bonds). The intention
of this undertaking is to align the composition of
the Guarantors with the members of the SkyCity
Group which provide guarantees to SkyCity’s other
principal debt financiers.
If there is no Principal Lending Facility, SkyCity has
undertaken to the Supervisor to ensure that (subject
to certain grace periods) SkyCity and the Guarantors
collectively will have Total Tangible Assets of at least
200 per cent of the Face Value of all Bonds on issue
at any time (as described in further detail below
under section 5.4 of this PDS (Financial Covenants)).
When can a Guarantor be released?
A Guarantor may be released from its obligations
under the Guarantee in certain circumstances,
including if a director or other appropriate officer
of SkyCity has certified in writing to the Supervisor
that the Guarantor has ceased to be a guarantor
under SkyCity’s Principal Lending Facilities, is not
otherwise required to be a Guarantor and (amongst
other matters) no Event of Default or potential event
of default has occurred or is continuing.
If the relevant conditions for release of a Guarantor
(as set out in clause 3.2(a) of the Deed of Guarantee)
have been complied with, the consent of the
Supervisor or Bondholders is not required for the
release to be effective.
However, SkyCity cannot be released as a Guarantor
without the consent of the Supervisor.
Are the obligations of the Guarantors secured?
The obligations of each Guarantor under the Deed
of Guarantee are not secured by a security interest.
Accordingly, the obligations of the Guarantors to
you under the Guarantee are not secured against
any asset of the Guarantors.
5.4 Financial Covenants
Under the Trust Deed, SkyCity gives the following
financial covenants to the Supervisor and each
Bondholder:
(a) Total Prior Ranking Debt Ratio: Total Prior
Ranking Debt will at no time exceed 10% of
Guaranteeing Group Total Tangible Assets.
(b) Net Group Debt Ratio: Net Group Debt will
not exceed 75% of the aggregate of Net Group
Debt, Share Capital and Retained Earnings
as at 30 June and 31 December in each year,
provided that:
(i) if Retained Earnings is a negative number
then the relevant amount of Retained
Earnings shall be deducted from the
aggregate of Net Group Debt and Share
Capital; and
(ii) all reserves shall be excluded from the
definition of Share Capital and Retained
Earnings in the calculation of this ratio.
If a compliance certificate delivered by SkyCity
to the Supervisor in accordance with the
terms of the Trust Deed evidences a breach of
the Net Group Debt Ratio and that breach is
not remedied within six months of the latest
date (final date) on which that compliance
certificate was required to be delivered, then,
within 20 Business Days after the final date,
17
SkyCity must give notice to the Supervisor of
the Net Group Debt Ratio breach and provide
the Supervisor with SkyCity’s plan to remedy
the breach. An Event of Default only occurs if
the breach is not remedied within six months
of the latest date on which the notice to the
Supervisor of the Net Group Debt Ratio breach
was required to be delivered.
(c) Guaranteeing Group Cover: At all times (but
subject to the grace periods for joining a
subsidiary as set out in clause 3.1(a) of the Deed
of Guarantee), the guarantors pursuant to the
Deed of Guarantee (being, as at the date of
this PDS, the members of the SkyCity Group
specified in the definition of ‘Guarantor’ in
the Glossary) shall consist of not less than all
members of the Consolidated Group who are
guarantors or obligors of borrowed money
indebtedness owing pursuant to any Principal
Lending Facility provided that if at any time:
(i) there is no Principal Lending Facility; and
(ii) the aggregate Total Tangible Assets of
SkyCity and any Guarantors by reference to
any compliance certificate delivered to the
Supervisor are less than 200 per cent of the
Face Value of all Bonds on issue at that time
(Minimum TTA),
SkyCity will ensure that, from such time (but
subject to the grace periods set out in clause
3.1 of the Deed of Guarantee), subsidiaries of
SkyCity become guarantors pursuant to the
Deed of Guarantee such that, immediately after
those subsidiaries become guarantors pursuant
to the Deed of Guarantee, the aggregate Total
Tangible Assets of SkyCity and all Guarantors are
not less than the Minimum TTA.
The capitalised terms used in this section 5.4 refer to
defined terms in the Trust Deed (to the extent not
otherwise defined in the Glossary). Those defined
terms contain the financial information that forms
the basis of each financial covenant. For full details
of these covenants, see clause 11.3 of the Trust Deed
and the related definitions in clause 1.1 of the Trust
Deed.
5.5 Early Redemption
Bondholders have no right to require SkyCity to
redeem their Bonds prior to the Maturity Date,
except in the case of an Event of Default (described
further below).
SkyCity may elect to redeem all, but not some only,
of the Bonds for cash on any Interest Payment Date
on or after the third anniversary of the Issue Date by
giving not less than 20 Business Days’ notice to the
Supervisor and each Bondholder.
On early redemption, SkyCity will pay to
Bondholders, in respect of each Bond, the greater of:
• an amount equal to the Principal Amount; and
• the average price, weighted by volume, of all trades
of Bonds through the NZX Debt Market over the
10 Business Days immediately prior to the date of
the early redemption notice (or, if the Bonds have
not traded on the NZX Debt Market for at least half
of such 10 Business Day period, the average price
of the Bonds for that period will be determined by
an independent adviser appointed in accordance
with the Series Supplement), (adjusted to exclude
the value attributable to the next scheduled but
unpaid interest payment),
in each case, plus all accrued interest in respect of
that Bond as at the redemption date and any other
amount due and payable in respect of that Bond
and less all withholding tax and other withholdings
or deductions required to be made.
5.6 Events of Default
The Events of Default are contained in the Trust
Deed. They include:
• SkyCity or any other Guarantor fails to pay any
amount of its indebtedness under a Transaction
Document (including with respect to payment
of principal or interest, or any other amount) –
subject to certain grace periods;
• a failure by SkyCity to comply with the Total Prior
Ranking Debt Ratio or the Guaranteeing Group
Cover financial covenant (as each is described
in section 5.4(a) and (c) (Financial Covenants)
above);
• a failure by SkyCity to meet the Net Group
Debt Ratio (as described in section 5.4(b)
(Financial Covenants) above) and that breach is
not remedied in accordance with the process
outlined in section 5.4 (Financial Covenants)
above;
• SkyCity or any other Guarantor (other than an
Immaterial Guarantor) does not comply with any
of its obligations under a Transaction Document
in a material respect, subject to certain grace
periods;
SkyCity Entertainment Group Product Disclosure Statement 30 April 2021
18
• SkyCity or any other Guarantor (other than
an Immaterial Guarantor) makes a material
misrepresentation in or in connection with a
Transaction Document;
• indebtedness of SkyCity or any other Guarantor
in respect of borrowed money of or in excess of
$20,000,000 is not paid within any applicable
grace period or (if no grace period applies) when
due or is accelerated by being declared due and
payable before it would otherwise have been due
by reason of any event of default, termination
event or equivalent or analogous event; and
• insolvency events that affect SkyCity or any other
Guarantor (other than an Immaterial Guarantor).
This summary does not cover all of the Events of
Default. For full details of the Events of Default,
see clause 12.1 of the Trust Deed and the related
definitions in clause 1.1 of the Trust Deed.
At any time while an Event of Default continues,
the Supervisor may in its discretion, and must upon
being directed to do so by a Special Resolution of
Bondholders, declare the Principal Amount and any
accrued interest on the Bonds, due and payable.
The capitalised terms used in this section 5.6 refer
to defined terms in the Trust Deed (to the extent not
otherwise defined in the Glossary).
5.7 Distribution Restriction
Neither SkyCity nor any other Guarantor will be
able to make any distribution (as defined in section
2 of the Companies Act 1993, and in the case of
any non-New Zealand company such definition
shall apply as if it were a New Zealand company
for the purposes of the Companies Act 1993) to a
shareholder (other than to a Guarantor) if any Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing (or would
occur as a result of that distribution).
For full details of the distribution restriction, see
clause 11.2 of the Trust Deed.
5.8 Other Relevant Information
About The Trust Deed
The Trust Deed also contains a number of standard
terms, including in relation to:
• the role, powers and duties of the Supervisor. The
Supervisor will not be responsible for monitoring
the application by SkyCity of the money paid by
the subscribers of the Bonds;
• the process for replacement of the Supervisor;
• the right of the Supervisor to be indemnified;

amounts owing to the Supervisor (including
that amounts owing to the Supervisor are, on a

Risks of Investing
6
6.1 Introduction
This section describes the following potential key
risk factors:
• general risks associated with an investment in
the Bonds; and
• specific risks relating to SkyCity’s
creditworthiness.
The selection of key risks has been based on an
assessment of a combination of the probability of
a risk occurring and the impact of the risk if it did
occur. This assessment is based on the knowledge
of the Directors as at the date of this PDS. There is
no guarantee or assurance that the importance of
different risks will not change or that no other risks
may emerge over time.
Where practicable, SkyCity will seek to implement
risk mitigation strategies to minimise the exposure
to some of the risks outlined in the following
table, although there can be no assurance that
such arrangements will fully protect SkyCity from
such risks.
You should carefully consider these risks (together
with the other information in this PDS and available
on the Offer Register) before deciding to invest in
the Bonds. This summary does not cover all of the
risks of investing in the Bonds.
The statement of risks in this section does not take
account of the personal circumstances, financial
position or investment requirements of any
particular person. It is important, therefore, that
before making any investment decision, you give
consideration to the suitability of an investment
in the Bonds in light of your individual risk profile
for investments, investment objectives and
personal circumstances (including financial and
taxation issues).
6.2 Risks
General Risks
An investment in the Bonds is subject to the following general risks:
Credit Risk on SkyCity If SkyCity becomes insolvent, there may be a shortfall of funds to pay all amounts
ranking ahead of and equally with the Bonds. If this occurs, and the Guarantors are
unable to meet SkyCity’s defaulted payment obligations, you might not receive a
return of all or any of the Principal Amount and/or any interest due and unpaid at
that time.
See section 5.2 of this PDS (Ranking) for more information on the ranking of the
Bonds in the event of a liquidation of SkyCity.
Secondary Market
Risk
Secondary market risk is the risk that, if you wish to sell your Bonds before maturity:
• you may be unable to find a buyer; or
• the price at which you are able to sell them is less than the amount you paid for
them.
These outcomes may arise because of factors related to SkyCity's creditworthiness,
or because of other factors including:
• the fact that a trading market for the Bonds never develops or, if it develops,
is not very liquid. Although permission is expected to be granted to quote the
Bonds on the NZX Debt Market, this does not guarantee any trading market in
the Bonds;
• the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates. For example, if market
interest rates go up, the market value of the Bonds would typically be expected to
go down and vice versa; and
• the fact that Bondholders seeking to sell relatively small or relatively large
amounts of Bonds may not be able to do so at prices comparable to those
available to other Bondholders.
SkyCity Entertainment Group Product Disclosure Statement 30 April 2021
20
Specific Risks Relating to SkyCity’s Creditworthiness
SkyCity considers that the main circumstances which significantly increase, either individually or in
combination, the risk that SkyCity may default on its payment obligations under the Bonds are as follows:
COVID-19 Pandemic and
Business Continuity Risk
Impacts of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic, related actions taken in response by the
New Zealand, Australian and other governments (including national and
regional lockdowns, border closures and travel restrictions) and the effects
of the pandemic on global and domestic economies have had, and are
likely to continue to have, a material adverse effect on SkyCity's operations,
liquidity and financial performance.
Risks arising from the outbreak of infectious disease, including the
ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, are particularly relevant to SkyCity as a
gaming, hospitality and entertainment provider if it is forced to close
its facilities. SkyCity’s Auckland property (which is the most significant
contributor of revenue) was closed and unable to operate whilst Auckland
was in Alert Level 3 or Alert Level 4 for 70 days in 2020 and, as at the date
of this PDS has been closed for 11 days in 2021.
Closure of its facilities during government-imposed lockdowns, social
distancing measures, restrictions on public gatherings and decreased
levels of domestic and international visitors have together had a significant
impact on SkyCity’s financial performance. By way of example, SkyCity
Group normalised EBITDA for the first six months of 2020 (during a period
of significant lockdown restrictions and SkyCity property closures) was 68%
down compared to the comparable period in 2019. In response to COVID-19,
SkyCity was also required to take a number of other decisive actions,
including implementing significant cost savings (including a large labour
restructuring), raising equity, suspending dividends and agreeing a suite of
waivers with its debt syndicate.
The wider ongoing health and safety risks and potential economic
impacts of COVID-19 could have further material adverse effects on
SkyCity’s activity levels and resulting revenues for an unknown duration.
For example:
• there could be further major outbreaks of COVID-19 in New Zealand
and/or Australia resulting in further property closures and operating
restrictions for SkyCity. SkyCity’s financial performance would be most
significantly impacted by restrictions affecting its operations carried
out at its Auckland property - see Earnings Concentration in Auckland
Risk below;
• international borders may be closed (or significantly restricted) for
significant periods of time, resulting in SkyCity operating as a smaller
and domestically focused business for that time, with limited or no
international tourists;
• despite controls around social distancing, contact tracing, hand
hygiene and limits on the number of people in public spaces, a
cluster could be attributed to a SkyCity employee or customer.
The identification of a “SkyCity cluster”, or a cluster originating
from another casino, hotel or other hospitality venue, may result
in a prolonged period of reduced visitation to SkyCity’s properties
regardless of the robustness of SkyCity’s procedures;
• there could be a significant reduction in demand for the services
provided by SkyCity resulting from reduced discretionary spending
during a period of uncertainty and deterioration in economic
conditions; and
• there could be a shift in customer preferences (exacerbated by
COVID-19) towards online entertainment platforms and away from
land-based entertainment at SkyCity’s properties.
21
COVID-19 Pandemic and
Business Continuity Risk
There is no certainty that demand for SkyCity's services will normalise
to the level existing prior to the impact of COVID-19, especially if there
is a significant change in the behaviour of customers or their spending
habits, or further unforeseen adverse impacts related to COVID-19
(such as new and more transmissible strains of the virus or issues related
to the speed of the vaccine roll-out programme (or its effectiveness) in
New Zealand and Australia).
Mitigation
Many of the broader risks of COVID-19 are outside of SkyCity's control.
To mitigate some of the ongoing direct risks associated with COVID-19,
SkyCity continues to adopt a conservative approach to capital
management and seeks to maintain adequate levels of liquidity. In
addition, SkyCity maintains a comprehensive business continuity
framework, which supports preparedness and response to a wide range
of critical events, including a natural disaster, a fire, an emergency
incident and a pandemic. This business continuity framework is subject
to ongoing:
• monitoring to ensure management readiness and capability,
including undertaking simulated crisis response drills on a regular
basis; and
• improvement to enhance resilience.
See also Earnings Concentration in Auckland Risk below.
Highly Regulated Industry RiskRegulatory framework
SkyCity operates in industries which are highly regulated in each of
the jurisdictions in which it has business operations. In particular, the
casino industry is highly regulated and SkyCity requires the approval
of the relevant gaming regulators (usually in the form of licences) in
order to conduct its business. Consequently, SkyCity's operations, its
financial performance and future prospects are highly dependent upon
the regulatory framework in which it operates and maintenance of its
licences.
The regulatory framework (consisting of legislation, regulation and
government policy, including taxation) is subject to change from time
to time in both material and immaterial respects, which may impact
the environment in which SkyCity operates and the cost of operating its
business. Any unfavourable changes to this regulatory framework could
have a significant negative impact on SkyCity’s operations and financial
performance. Potential examples of such changes include unfavourable
changes to gaming legislation and regulations, licence conditions (or
the loss of a key licence), gaming taxes and levies, smoking restrictions at
SkyCity’s properties and costs of compliance (e.g., anti-money laundering
and host responsibility).
SkyCity Entertainment Group Product Disclosure Statement 30 April 2021
22
Highly Regulated Industry RiskSuch changes may be introduced for a variety of reasons, including
in response to the behaviour of others operating in the industry or
increased government and regulatory conservatism in relation to
the casino industry in New Zealand and Australia. For example, it is
anticipated that there will be increased focus on additional consumer
protection requirements and regulatory oversight of land-based casino
operators in New Zealand and Australia (including in respect of anti-
money laundering and host responsibility obligations) and on SkyCity’s
‘social licence’ to operate.
In addition, there is currently an increased focus on casino operators in
Australia as a consequence of the New South Wales Independent Liquor
and Gaming Authority’s inquiry into the operation of Crown Casino in
Sydney, and the resulting report released in February 2021. This could
lead to more stringent regulations for casino operators such as SkyCity
in Australia and New Zealand in relation to money laundering and
other financial crimes. As a result, there are heightened expectations on
SkyCity around its obligations under anti-money laundering legislation
and regulations, monitoring cash and third party transactions, and
undertaking enhanced due diligence checks on higher risk customers.
Banks in both New Zealand and Australia are also signalling to casinos
that they have a significantly reduced risk appetite for accepting cash
deposits from higher risk customers.
SkyCity operates its casinos in New Zealand and Australia in accordance
with various casino licences. Any of these licences may be suspended
or cancelled if SkyCity was to breach the provisions of the relevant
licence (depending on the nature and severity of the relevant breach),
which would prevent SkyCity from operating the relevant casino. Any
prolonged suspension, cancellation or expiry of the Auckland casino
licence would have a significant negative impact on SkyCity’s business
and materially increase the risk of default in relation to the Bonds - see
Earnings Concentration in Auckland Risk below.
Online casino gaming is a new and developing market in New Zealand,
Australia and overseas jurisdictions. Regulatory oversight and changes
to the online casino market in New Zealand or Australia, including the
introduction of an appropriate licensing regime for operators, may be
implemented. Whilst it is not possible to predict the scope or extent
of future regulatory changes, SkyCity’s operations would be negatively
impacted if it is prevented from competing in the online casino
gaming market in New Zealand or Australia, including if it was not
granted a licence to operate under any introduced licensing regime.
Mitigation
SkyCity mitigates the risk of regulatory change through maintaining
frequent engagement with the governments and regulators in each
jurisdiction in which it operates, and with industry stakeholders.
SkyCity also maintains a robust compliance culture and framework to
ensure compliance with licence conditions and applicable legislation
and regulations.

Auckland Risk
Auckland property concentration
SkyCity's Auckland property contributed approximately 80% of
SkyCity Group normalised EBITDA (before corporate costs) for the year
ended 30 June 2020. Completion of the New Zealand International
Convention Centre project (and the associated expanded gaming
concessions) is expected to further increase this concentration of
earnings from SkyCity's Auckland property.
This concentration of earnings means that SkyCity’s financial
performance is heavily dependent upon its Auckland property.
A significant disruption could result from numerous causes, including
from the suspension, cancellation or expiry of the Auckland casino
licence, an event such as an earthquake or fire, or as a result of
government-imposed restrictions (including in relation to COVID-19).
Auckland has been subject to greater levels of lockdown than other
parts of New Zealand since the outbreak of COVID-19 and, given its
relative population density compared to the rest of New Zealand, is at
greater risk of further regional lockdowns.
A significant disruption to SkyCity’s Auckland property could have
a significant negative impact on SkyCity’s operations and financial
performance, and potentially a permanent loss of customers. The
extent of the financial impact will depend on the nature and scale of
the business interruption, which is not possible to predict.
Mitigation
While SkyCity maintains insurance (including business interruption
insurance) to mitigate this risk, the policies may not provide sufficient
coverage for all potential losses arising from a disruption to SkyCity’s
Auckland operations.
Any such loss may also be offset in part by the expected increased
earnings from the redevelopment and expansion of SkyCity’s Adelaide
property.

Completion of NZICC Project RiskNZICC Project
SkyCity is continuing to progress the development of the New
Zealand International Convention Centre (NZICC) and Horizon Hotel in
Auckland (the NZICC Project).
The NZICC Project has already been significantly delayed due to initial
building delays followed by extensive damage caused by the NZICC
fire in October 2019. Reinstatement works are progressing, but slower
than expected. The most recent draft programme received from the
contractor for the NZICC Project (being, The Fletcher Construction
Company Limited (FCC), a subsidiary of Fletcher Building Limited
(Fletcher Building)) indicates that the NZICC will be completed in
2024. Further significant delays are possible, which may be caused by
factors such as further building delays, another Alert Level 4 lockdown
in Auckland and supply chain constraints.
SkyCity Entertainment Group Product Disclosure Statement 30 April 2021
24
Completion of NZICC Project RiskSkyCity is required to complete the development of the NZICC by
2 January 2025 (Completion Long Stop Date) under the Project and
Licensing Agreement for the NZICC (NZICC Agreement). However,
if SkyCity does not complete the development of the NZICC by the
Completion Long Stop Date, then the New Zealand Government can
seek to terminate the NZICC Agreement. In this situation, SkyCity could
lose the benefits of the regulatory and operational concessions at its
Auckland property provided for under the NZICC Agreement, including
the extension of the Auckland casino licence to 2048. This would have a
significant negative impact on SkyCity’s financial performance, including
the requirement for SkyCity to renew its Auckland casino licence in order
to continue operating its Auckland casino business.
Costs
SkyCity also faces ongoing uncertainty regarding the total cost of the
NZICC Project. The total project cost is expected to exceed the original
budget of $703 million but is currently not expected to exceed the
market guidance of around $750 million. However, while considered
unlikely, the total cost of the NZICC Project may ultimately exceed that
amount, which could have a significant negative impact on SkyCity’s
financial position.
Car parks
SkyCity and SkyCity Auckland Limited are parties to a Concession
Agreement (Concession Agreement) with (now) MPF Parking Limited
(Macquarie) pursuant to which Macquarie was granted a long term
concession over the SkyCity Auckland car parks. Those car parks
include the NZICC car parks.
SkyCity is required to make certain payments to Macquarie for
car parks that are not available under the Concession Agreement
(including those impacted by the NZICC Project works and
remediation activities). Macquarie may also have other contractual
rights under the Concession Agreement which could negatively impact
SkyCity’s financial position and financial performance in the event
that the NZICC car parks are not made available within the timeframe
required by the Concession Agreement which results in Macquarie
validly exercising those contractual rights (if available). For example,
Macquarie may have a right of termination if a certain number of the
car parks are not repaired and reinstated by 22 October 2022.
If Macquarie was to validly exercise its right to terminate, it would
be entitled to compensation from SkyCity equal to the market value
of the car parks as determined in accordance with the Concession
Agreement.
Mitigation
SkyCity seeks to mitigate these risks in relation to the NZICC Project by:
• continually monitoring progress by FCC (as the contractor for the
NZICC Project) and ensuring that FCC and Fletcher Building meet
their obligations under the building works contract;
• working closely with the insurer in relation to claims arising from
the NZICC fire; and
• maintaining a positive and transparent relationship with the New
Zealand Government and with Macquarie.
SkyCity also recognises that robust management of the NZICC Project
is critical to its successful completion. SkyCity has established strong
governance and oversight frameworks for the NZICC Project.

Tax
Resident Withholding Tax
If you are tax resident in New Zealand or otherwise
receive payments of interest on the Bonds that
are subject to the resident withholding tax rules,
resident withholding tax will be deducted from
interest paid or credited to you at the relevant rate,
unless you produce to the Registrar evidence you
have RWT-exempt status (as defined in the Income
Tax Act 2007) on or before the record date for the
relevant payment date, and that your RWT-exempt
status remains valid as at that record date.
Approved Issuer Levy
If interest on your Bonds is subject to the non-
resident withholding tax rules, SkyCity will pay
approved issuer levy (AIL) on interest paid to you
and deduct the AIL from the interest payment if
payment of such AIL has the effect of reducing
the rate of non-resident withholding tax to zero
percent.
SkyCity may apply the zero-percent rate of AIL
(rather than the standard AIL rate of 2%) where it is
able to do so.
Indemnity
If, in respect of any of your Bonds, the Registrar or
SkyCity becomes liable to account for withholding
taxes, or make any payment of, or on account of, tax
payable by you, then the Registrar and SkyCity shall
be indemnified by you in respect of such liability.
General
There may be other tax consequences from
acquiring or disposing of the Bonds, including
income tax consequences. If you have any
queries relating to the tax consequences of the
investment, you should obtain professional advice
on those consequences in light of your specific
circumstances.
Taxes may affect your returns. The preceding
information does not constitute taxation advice
to any Bondholder, is general and summary in
nature and limited to consideration of New Zealand
taxation impacts as at the date of this PDS. Future
changes to these or other laws may affect the tax
consequences of an investment in the Bonds.

Financial CovenantsSkyCity gives certain financial undertakings to the Supervisor and Bondholders,
namely that:
Financial Covenants:
• Total Prior Ranking Debt at no time exceeds 10% of Guaranteeing Group Total
Tangible Assets; and
• Net Group Debt does not exceed 75% of the aggregate of Net Group Debt, Share
Capital and Retained Earnings as at 30 June and 31 December in each year,
provided that:
– if Retained Earnings is a negative number then the relevant amount of Retained
Earnings shall be deducted from the aggregate of Net Group Debt and Share
Capital; and
– all reserves shall be excluded from the definition of Share Capital and Retained
Earnings in the calculation of this ratio; and
• the Guarantors pursuant to the Deed of Guarantee shall consist of not less than all
members of the Consolidated Group who are guarantors or obligors of borrowed

if at any time:
– there is no Principal Lending Facility; and
– the aggregate Total Tangible Assets of SkyCity and any Guarantors by reference
to any compliance certificate delivered to the Supervisor are less than 200 per
cent of the Face Value of all Bonds on issue at that time (Minimum TTA),
SkyCity will ensure that, from such time, subsidiaries of SkyCity become
Guarantors in accordance with the Deed of Guarantee (but subject to the grace
periods set out in the Deed of Guarantee) such that, immediately after those
subsidiaries become Guarantors, the aggregate Total Tangible Assets of SkyCity
and all Guarantors are not less than the Minimum TTA.
A breach by SkyCity of these financial covenants can lead to an Event of Default
(subject to certain grace periods).
Refer to the Trust Deed and the PDS for more detail on covenants that will apply to
the Bonds.
Distribution
Restriction
Under the Trust Deed, SkyCity and the other Guarantors are not permitted to make

GuaranteeThe Bonds will be guaranteed by the Guarantors under the Deed of Guarantee.

SecurityThe Bonds are not secured against any asset of the SkyCity Group.
RankingOn a liquidation of SkyCity, the Bonds will rank equally with all other unsecured,
unsubordinated obligations of SkyCity and will rank:
• after all secured creditors (if any) and creditors preferred by law;
• equally with other Bondholders and equally among the rights and claims of
holders of equal ranking obligations (including the lenders of SkyCity’s bank debt
and the holders of the USPP Notes and all other unsecured obligations, including
trade creditors); and

which would permit a public offering of Bonds, or
possession or distribution of any offering material in
respect of the Bonds, in any country or jurisdiction
where action for that purpose is required (other
than New Zealand).
Any information memorandum, disclosure
statement, circular, advertisement or other offering
material in respect of the Bonds may only be
published, delivered or distributed in compliance
with all applicable laws and regulations (including
those of the country or jurisdiction in which the
material is published, delivered or distributed).
The Bonds may only be offered for sale or sold in a
jurisdiction outside of New Zealand in compliance

all applicable laws and regulations in the applicable
jurisdiction.
There are specific selling restrictions that apply to
an offer of the Bonds in the European Economic
Area, the United Kingdom, Australia, Hong Kong,
Japan and Singapore.
These selling restrictions do not apply to an offer of

These selling restrictions may be modified by

following a change in a relevant law, regulation or
directive. Persons into whose hands the PDS comes
are, and each Bondholder is, required by SkyCity
and the Joint Lead Managers to comply with all
applicable laws and regulations in each country or
jurisdiction in or from which they purchase, offer,
sell or deliver Bonds or have in their possession or
distribute such offering material, in all cases at their
own expense.
Without limiting the generality of the above, the
following selling restrictions apply in respect of
each relevant jurisdiction:

Kingdom by means of the PDS, any Terms Sheet,

or reproduced, in whole or in part, nor may their
contents be disclosed by recipients to any other

relating to the Bonds have not been, and will not be,
lodged or registered as a prospectus in Singapore
with the Monetary Authority of Singapore.
Accordingly, the PDS, any Terms Sheet and any
other document or materials in connection with

• distribute or publish, the PDS, any Terms Sheet,
information memorandum, prospectus or
other disclosure document (as defined in the
Corporations Act) or any other offering material

• the offer or invitation is not made to a person
who is a “retail client” within the meaning of
section 761G of the Corporations Act;

SkyCity Entertainment Group Indicative Terms Sheet 30 April 2021
12
By applying for the Bonds under the PDS, each
person to whom the Bonds are issued will be
deemed by SkyCity and the Joint Lead Managers
to have undertaken not to on-sell the Bonds within
12 months from their issue, unless either:
• that sale is to an investor within one of the
categories set out in sections 708(8) or 708(11) of
the Corporations Act to whom it is lawful to offer
the Bonds in Australia without a prospectus or
other disclosure document lodged with ASIC; or
• the sale offer is received outside Australia.
The PDS is not, and under no circumstances is to be
construed as, an advertisement or public offering of
any Bonds in Australia.
(v) Hong Kong
WARNING: The PDS and any Terms Sheets
have not been, and will not be, registered as a
prospectus under the Companies (Winding Up
and Miscellaneous Provisions) Ordinance (Cap. 32)
of Hong Kong, nor has it been authorised by the
Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong
pursuant to the Securities and Futures Ordinance
(Cap. 571) of the Laws of Hong Kong (the SFO). No
action has been taken in Hong Kong to authorise
or register the PDS or to permit the distribution of
the PDS or any documents (including any Terms
Sheet) issued in connection with it. Accordingly, the
Bonds have not been and will not be offered or sold
in Hong Kong other than to “professional investors”
(as defined in the SFO and any rules made under
that ordinance).
No advertisement, invitation or document relating
to the Bonds has been or will be issued, or has
been or will be in the possession of any person for
the purpose of issue, in Hong Kong or elsewhere
that is directed at, or the contents of which are
likely to be accessed or read by, the public of
Hong Kong (except if permitted to do so under
the securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with
respect to Bonds that are or are intended to be
disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or
only to professional investors. No person allotted
Bonds may sell, or offer to sell, such securities in
circumstances that amount to an offer to the public
in Hong Kong within six months following the date
of issue of such securities.
The contents of the PDS or any Terms Sheet have
not been reviewed by any Hong Kong regulatory
authority. You are advised to exercise caution in
relation to the Offer. If you are in doubt about any
contents of the PDS or any Terms Sheet, you should
obtain independent professional advice.
(vi) Japan
The Bonds have not been and will not be registered
under Article 4, paragraph 1 of the Financial
Instruments and Exchange Act of Japan (Act No.
25 of 1948), as amended (the FIEA) pursuant to
an exemption from the registration requirements
applicable to a private placement of securities
to Qualified Institutional Investors (as defined
in and in accordance with Article 2, paragraph
3 of the FIEA and the regulations promulgated
thereunder). Accordingly, the Bonds may not be
offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in Japan or to,
or for the benefit of, any resident of Japan other
than Qualified Institutional Investors. Any Qualified
Institutional Investor who acquires Bonds may not
resell them to any person in Japan that is not a
Qualified Institutional Investor, and acquisition by
any such person of Bonds is conditional upon the
execution of an agreement to that effect.
Indemnity
By its subscription for the Bonds, each Bondholder
agrees to indemnify SkyCity, the Joint Lead
Managers and the Supervisor and each of their
respective directors, officers, employees and agents
for any loss, cost, liability or damages suffered
or incurred as a result of the breach by that
Bondholder of the selling restrictions set out above.
