New Zealand Rural Land Company (NZL.NZX)

Recap From IPO Documents

New Zealand Rural Land Company (NZL) was incorporated for the purpose of acquiring rural land across New Zealand’s agricultural sector;

NZL would partner with and lease land to experienced farmers and food producers;

NZL would present a differentiated investment proposition to what is currently available on the NZX:

• Exposure to agriculture / rural land as an asset class without the direct operational exposure and volatility;

• Core focus on securing experienced, well capitalised, long-term tenants to provide security around income;

Market forces are creating an opportunity to acquire high quality dairy farms at attractive prices;

Although the initial target is dairy land given favorable pricing backdrop, NZL will target other rural land asset classes across cycles;

Target minimum gross lease rate of 4.50% per annum + potential NAV growth;

NZL will be the only agricultural land based listed property company on the NZX.

3
Rural Land is an Attractive Asset

Investing in New Zealand land is still nascent. Investors in the past have been deterred by high up front capital outlays, direct commodity price exposure, on-farm

risks (including weather and animal health) and, a lack of liquidity. These barriers have prevented many investors from diversifying their portfolios to include this

high-quality asset that offers attractive long-term returns, an effective inflation hedge and uncorrelated returns to broader investment markets.

Rural Land Assets are an Effective Inflation Hedge

New Zealand rural land has on average outperformed inflation over the last 25+ years. An investment in rural land can be expected to offer some protection

against inflation into the future.

South Canterbury + North Otago

Transaction Overview

Under the proposed acquisition NZL will acquire fourteen large scale dairy assets in South

Canterbury and North Otago totaling approximately 6,350 hectares. The properties are a

mixture of traditional seasonal supply pastoral dairy farms, hybrid grass based grazing and cut

winter barn farms, and dairy support blocks.

The 14 farms will be acquired from 6 entities at a cost to NZL of NZ$114.00M (subject to

adjustments). The transaction is due to settle on 1 June 2021.

The farms will be leased to three tenants for an aggregate rental of NZ$ 5.62M per annum.

The three tenant entities meet NZL’s criteria for tenants and the leases have an initial term of 11

years with two rights of renewal of 12 years.

These 14 properties are being leased in groups of 3, 5, and 6

properties respectively and to three individual tenants with experience

on the type of farm they are leasing. NZL has signed leases with:

• 3 farms leased by Sustainable Grass Dairy Limited (SGDL)

NZ$ 1,167,196 p.a.;

• 5 farms leased by Performance Dairy Limited (PDL)

NZ$ 3,094,986 p.a.;

• 6 farms leased by Performance Livestock Limited (PLL)

NZ$ 1,357,727 p.a..

All tenants have a strong balance sheet supporting both the

financial and maintenance components of their lease, independent

experienced governance, a demonstrable history of farming

excellence, efficient production and profitability in their respective

geographies.

quality

water

The majority of the dairy farms being acquired

are irrigated. Many source water from the

Morven Glenavy Ikawai Irrigation Company

(MGI) and bore water - both of which are low-

cost and high-reliability water sources.

Appealing Water Catchment Areas with regard

to the Resource Management Act and Local

& District Plans and shareholdings in irrigation

schemes providing assistance with compliance

and the potential for future nutrient headroom.

The localities of dairy farms in prominent dairy

regions offers a variety of dairy supply options

including Fonterra, Oceania (who pays a +$0.15

premium to Fonterra), and Synlait. The locations

are well recognised for their soils, water, and their

ability and proximity to centers to attract staff.

The farms have quality soils that predominantly fall

into two categories:


The flat land soils are silt loam soils – e.g. Steward,

Pukeuri, Darnley, Pahau, well suited to irrigation

and intensive livestock farming. Some of these soils

are also well suited to arable cropping.


The hill land soils are silt loam soils – e.g. Timaru,

Claremont, Kauru, Ngapara. These soils are suited

to irrigation and intensive livestock farming.

soils

support

laNd

These acquisitions contain a number of ‘support

land’ dairy farms. ‘Support land’ is for grazing

dairy animals that are not in milk. We believe

the importance and therefore value of ‘support

land’ will increase over time as increasing

environmental regulations and disease risk

increases off-farm support land importance.
