Dear David,

NZME Limited (NZM) – Price Enquiry

We write with respect to the continuous disclosure obligations set out in the Listing Rules (Rules).
Listing Rule 3.1.1 (”the rule”) is set out in the Schedule attached to this letter. In summary, this rule
requires issuers to immediately disclose any Material Information to NZX Limited (“NZ RegCo”). The
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 NZM has increased from $0.77, being the market open price on 1 July 2021 to $0.90,
being the price as at 12:00 pm on Monday, 5 July 2021. This represents a total increase of $0.13,
or 16.9%.

Given this increase in the price of NZM, please advise NZ RegCo whether NZM continues to comply
with Listing Rule 3.1.1.

Could you please provide NZ RegCo with an answer to the above question (email:
surveillance@nzregco.com) before 4:30 pm on Monday, 5 July 2021.

Please provide your response to this letter in “PDF” format and note that it will be published in full to
the market.

Kind Regards,




Campbell Johnstone
