Intention to commence on-market share buyback in

early 2022


AUCKLAND, 16 November 2021: NZME Limited (NZX: NZM, ASX: NZM) (“NZME”) advises

that with a clearer business outlook and the successful completion of the sale of GrabOne per

NZME’s 2023 strategy, NZME intends to undertake an on-market share buyback of up to $30

million to commence in early 2022.

NZME CEO Michael Boggs said: “NZME's balance sheet is in a strong position, with net debt

having been reduced to zero, well below our target net debt range. This has allowed the Board

to support a distribution of up to $30 million to shareholders, with an on-market buyback being

the most effective method.”

Further details and the required disclosure statement will be provided to shareholders before

the end of the year.

NZME looks forward to updating further on its performance and strategy at its Investor Day on

Thursday 18 November 2021.
