LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
22 June 2021
Tēnā koe,
On behalf of the directors of Precinct, I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in our Retail Offer. Eligible Shareholders
have the opportunity to acquire additional Shares without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs.
The Retail Offer is part of Precinct’s equity raising initiative announced on 18 June 2021, details of which can be found at www.nzx.com
under the ticker “PCT”. Precinct is raising up to $30 million through the Retail Offer (with the ability for Precinct to accept
oversubscriptions at its discretion), which will be in addition to the $220 million already raised by Precinct under the Placement
conducted on 18 June 2021.
The Board acknowledges that while the equity raising is not structured as a rights offer, the structure is fair for all our existing
shareholders. All shareholders (unless restricted due to legal constraints) will be able to participate fairly in the equity raising through
either the Placement or Retail Offer and should scaling be required, it will be done in reference to existing shareholder holdings. This
structure of offer provides Precinct greater execution certainty and reduced transaction costs compared with a rights offer.
Capital raise to fund Wellington acquisitions
The net proceeds of the equity raise will fund the acquisition of Bowen House in Wellington. Precinct has entered into an agreement to
acquire Bowen House in Wellington. This high profile office building is situated in the heart of the government precinct at the northern
fringe of the CBD and is in close proximity to several of Precincts existing assets. The 14,000 square metre tower comprises 23 levels of
office space, ground floor retail tenancies, entry lobby to the Beehive via a subterranean link, and carparking.
Precinct will pay $92 million and undertake a comprehensive redevelopment of the building at an estimated cost of around
$57 million. The redevelopment will include seismic strengthening (to 100% NBS) and refurbishment works. On completion of works in
mid 2023, Bowen House will be fully occupied by The Parliamentary Services on a new 15-year net lease. The acquisition is expected to
yield 5.25% on completion of the works and is expected to settle in July 2021.
Commercial terms have also been agreed for the acquisition of Freyberg Building in Wellington. This is a strategic redevelopment
opportunity located in the Government precinct and remains conditional at this stage on Precinct due diligence. On completion of
the acquisition Precinct anticipate progressing with design for the redevelopment while benefiting from holding income.
We are completing due diligence on the Freyberg Building in Wellington and expect to complete the acquisition imminently.
In addition to funding the acquisitions the equity raising will also reduce Precinct’s gearing providing additional funding capacity to
assist with future development opportunities.
Retail Offer
The Retail Offer is available to all eligible shareholders in New Zealand. It gives all Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to invest up to
$50,000 in New Shares in Precinct. The New Shares will be issued at the lower of the price paid by investors in Precinct’s recent
Placement, being $1.52 per Share, and the five day volume weighted average price of Precinct Shares traded on NZX during the five
NZX trading days up to, and including, the Closing Date being 2 July 2021.
After reading the accompanying Offer Document, the Board encourages you to seek financial, investment, or other professional
advice from a qualified professional advisor and that you take your time to consider this Offer. Additional information can be found at
www.shareoffer.co.nz/precinct and in the investment presentation we released to NZX on 18 June 2021.
We look forward to advancing this opportunity in Wellington and are committed to creating significant shareholder value for Precinct
shareholders, as we continue to successfully deliver on our strategy.
On behalf of the Board, thank you for your continued support in Precinct and I welcome your participation in this Offer.
Ngā mihi,
Craig Stobo

Precinct is accepting applications for up to $30 million of New

WHAT IS THE ISSUE PRICE FOR THE NEW SHARES?
The New Shares will be issued at the lower of the price paid by
investors in Precinct’s recent Placement, being $1.52 per Share,

Shares traded on NZX during the five NZX trading days up to, and

The market price of Shares may change between the date this
Offer opens, the date you apply for New Shares under the Offer

result, the Issue Price may be higher, equal to or lower than the
price at which Precinct’s Shares are trading on the NZX Main
Board at the time the New Shares are allotted to you. There is no

application.
HOW MANY NEW SHARES WILL I RECEIVE?
You will receive the number of New Shares corresponding with
the dollar amount of New Shares you have applied for and
payment has been received in respect of (subject to scaling as
described above). If, the dollar amount of New Shares you have
applied for (or are allocated) does not equal a whole number of
New Shares once divided by the Issue Price, the number of New
Shares allotted to you will be rounded down to the nearest New
Share. Any difference due to rounding or under $5.00 will be
retained by Precinct.
Precinct is accepting applications for up to $30 million of New
Shares in aggregate, with an ability to accept oversubscriptions

to you no later than 5 Business Days after the Allotment Date.
Precinct may, subject to the Listing Rules and applicable laws,
extend the Closing Date and the Allotment Date.
07
PART 3: QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
ARE THERE ANY CONDITIONS TO THE OFFER?
No. However, if Precinct cancels the Offer for any reason, all
application monies will be returned to applicants and no New
Shares will be allotted under the Offer. No interest will be
payable on any monies returned to applicants.
WHAT IF I OWN SHARES THROUGH A TRUSTEE OR
CUSTODIAN OR OWN SHARES IN MORE THAN ONE
CAPACITY?
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 New Shares on
your behalf. If you own Shares through a trustee or Custodian
and also own Shares in your own name, then you may either
purchase New Shares yourself or instruct your trustee or
Custodian to purchase New Shares on your behalf. You may not
do both.
If you are a Custodian, or hold shares through a Custodian,
please refer to clause 3 of the terms and conditions.
IS THIS OFFER TRANSFERABLE TO ANOTHER PERSON?
No. This offer is personal to you and you may not transfer your
right to purchase New Shares under the Offer to anyone else.
WILL THE NEW SHARES BE QUOTED?
Yes, the New Shares will be quoted on the NZX Main Board.
Precinct will take any necessary steps to ensure that the New
Shares are, immediately after issue, quoted on the NZX Main
Board. The NZX Main Board is a licensed market operated by NZX
Limited which is a licensed market operator regulated under the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. NZX accepts no
responsibility for any statements in this document.
It is expected that you will be able to commence trading the
New Shares allotted to you under the Offer on the NZX Main
Board on the Allotment Date (being 8 July 2021, unless the Offer
is extended).
IF I CHOOSE NOT TO PARTICIPATE IN THE OFFER WILL MY
SHAREHOLDING BE DILUTED?
If you do not participate in the Offer, your shareholding in
Precinct will be diluted. For example, a shareholder holding
10.0% of the issued Shares in Precinct before the Offer who does
not participate in the Offer will own approximately 8.9% of the
issued Shares in Precinct after the Offer (after taking into
account the $220 million new shares issued under the Placement
and assuming the amount to be raised in the Offer of $30 million
(i.e. excluding any oversubscriptions) is fully subscribed and the
New Shares are issued at the same price as investors paid in the
Placement being $1.52 per New Share).
While Precinct has attempted to make the Offer as fair as
possible for Eligible Shareholders by increasing the individual
application cap from the typical $15,000 to $50,000 and with any
scaling to be in reference to individual shareholdings, the Offer is
not a pro-rata offer and even if you participate in the Offer, your
shareholding percentage in Precinct may change. Whether your
shareholding in Precinct increases or decreases will depend on
the dollar amount of New Shares you apply for, how many
Shares you hold on the Record Date and Closing Date and how
many New Shares other Eligible Shareholders apply for and are
allotted under the Offer.
WHAT IS PRECINCT’S DIVIDEND POLICY?
Precinct’s dividend policy is to pay out approximately 100%
Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) as dividends, with the
retained earnings being used to fund the capital expenditure
required to maintain the quality of Precinct’s property portfolio.
The Board considers the dividend policy represents a more
sustainable approach to maximising long term returns for
Precinct’s shareholders. The payment of dividends is not
guaranteed by Precinct and Precinct’s dividend policy may
change from time to time.
WHY ARE NOT ALL SHAREHOLDERS ELIGIBLE TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE OFFER?
Precinct considers that the legal requirements of jurisdictions
other than New Zealand are such that it would be unduly
onerous for Precinct to make the Offer in those jurisdictions. This
decision was made having regard to the small number of
Shareholders in such overseas jurisdictions and the costs of
complying with overseas legal requirements.
FURTHER ASSISTANCE
If you have any further questions about the Offer, please contact
your broker or financial, investment or other professional advisor
before making your investment decision.

Precinct Properties Retail Offer letter of entitlement
22 June 2021
Tēnā koe,
On behalf of the directors of Precinct, I am pleased to offer you the opportunity to participate in our Retail Offer.
Shareholders who, at 5.00pm (NZST) on the Record Date of 17 June 2021, were recorded in Precinct’s share register
as being in New Zealand (Eligible Shareholders) have the opportunity to acquire additional Precinct shares without
incurring any brokerage or other transaction costs.
You may apply to participate in the offer online only at www.shareoffer.co.nz/precinct. If you have any
questions in relation to the completion of an online application, please contact Computershare Investor
Services Ltd on 0800 650 034.
The Retail Offer is part of Precinct’s equity raising initiative announced on 18 June 2021, details of which can be
found at www.nzx.com under the ticker “PCT”. We recommend you read the Offer Document which can be
found online at www.shareoffer.co.nz/precinct and encourage you to seek financial, investment, or other
professional advice from a qualified professional advisor and that you take your time to consider this Retail Offer.
Precinct is raising up to $30 million through the Retail Offer (with the ability to accept oversubscriptions at its
discretion), which will be in addition to the $220 million already raised by Precinct under the Placement conducted
on 18 June 2021. The investor presentation is also available online at www.nzx.com under the ticker “PCT” and on
Precinct’s website www.precinct.co.nz.
The Board acknowledges that while the equity raise is not structured as a rights offer, the structure is fair for all our
existing shareholders. All shareholders (unless restricted due to legal constraints) will be able to participate fairly in
the equity raising through either the Placement or Retail Offer and, should scaling be required, it will be done in
reference to existing shareholder holdings. This structure of offer provides Precinct greater execution certainty and
reduced transaction costs compared with a rights offer.
Like many organisations and in line with our proactive approach to sustainability at Precinct, our business is
reconsidering our printing habits in response to the environmental impacts of printing. The Board has therefore
made the decision to reduce the printing associated with this Retail Offer altogether and have no paper
application forms or printed Offer Document sent to shareholders. As well as having a significant positive impact on
the environment, there is also the added benefit to shareholders of reduced printing costs.
Capital raise to fund Wellington acquisitions
The net proceeds of the equity raise will fund the acquisition of Bowen House in Wellington. Precinct has entered
into an agreement to acquire Bowen House in Wellington. This high profile office building is situated in the heart of
the government precinct at the northern fringe of the CBD and is in close proximity to several of Precinct’s existing
assets. The 14,000 square metre tower comprises 23 levels of office space, ground floor retail tenancies, entry lobby
to the Beehive via a subterranean link, and car parking.
Precinct will pay $92 million and undertake a comprehensive redevelopment of the building at an estimated cost
of around $57 million. The redevelopment will include seismic strengthening (to 100% NBS) and refurbishment works.
On completion of works in mid 2023, Bowen House will be fully occupied by The Parliamentary Services on a new
15- year net lease. The acquisition is expected to yield 5.25% on completion of the works and is expected to settle in
July 2021.
Commercial terms have also been agreed for the acquisition of the Freyberg Building in Wellington. This is a
strategic redevelopment opportunity located in the Government precinct and remains conditional at this stage on
Precinct due diligence. On completion of the acquisition Precinct anticipate progressing with design for the
redevelopment while benefiting from holding income.
Precinct is completing due diligence on the Freyberg Building in Wellington and expects to complete the
acquisition imminently.
In addition to funding the acquisitions, the equity raising will also reduce Precinct’s gearing providing additional
funding capacity to assist with future development opportunities.
Retail Offer
The Retail Offer is available to all shareholders in New Zealand. It gives all Eligible Shareholders the opportunity to
invest up to $50,000 in new Precinct shares. These shares will be issued at the lower of the price paid by investors in
Precinct’s recent Placement, being $1.52 per share, and the five day volume weighted average price of Precinct
shares traded on NZX during the five NZX trading days up to, and including, the closing date of the Retail Offer.
Should you choose to participate in our Retail Offer, you will not incur any brokerage or other transaction costs.
After reading the Offer Document, the Board encourages you to seek financial, investment, or other professional
advice from a qualified professional advisor and that you take your time to consider this offer. Additional
information can be found at www.shareoffer.co.nz/precinct and in the investor presentation we released to NZX
on 18 June 2021.
We look forward to advancing this opportunity in Wellington and are committed to creating significant shareholder
value for Precinct shareholders, as we continue to successfully deliver on our strategy.
On behalf of the Board, thank you for your continued support in Precinct and I welcome your participation in this
offer.
Ngā mihi,
Craig Stobo
Independent Director and Chair
Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited
