NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

On 10 November 2021, NZL completed the

acquisition of a large scale dairy asset portfolio

in Maniototo, Central Otago totalling ~3,500

hectares. An agreement was also reached for a

new long-term tenancy agreement with a gross

lease rate >5%. This acquisition increases NZL’s

total portfolio to 10,812Ha/$220M total asset

value of rural land, all acquired within less than

11 months of listing on the NZX.

NZL’s audited Net Asset Value (NAV) was

$1.3968/share as at 30 June 2021. NZL

delivered +17.38% NAV growth for the period

ending 30 June 2021*. NZL reiterates its belief

that it can continue to deliver NAV growth in

the short to medium term driven by a positive

macro story. Fonterra is currently forecasting

a 2021/2022 milk price between $8.40 and

$9.00 per kgMS, which is ~38% above the 10

year average.

In the near term, NZL is focused on further

developing its acquisition pipeline in the rural

sector; paying its inaugural dividend in respect

of the six month period ending on 31 December

2021; and, embedding its systems and processes

across its landholdings and leases alongside

continuing to enhance reporting to investors.

NZL expects to pay an inaugural interim dividend

of 2.0 cps in February 2022 and follow-up with

a final dividend in August 2022 of 2.7 cps, for a

total dividend of 4.7 cps in FY22. NZL highlights

that it has one of the longest WALTs (10.65 years)

and one of the highest forecast dividend yields in

the NZ listed property sector.

FY22 ACQUISITION - MANIOTOTO

On 10 November 2021, NZL completed the acquisition of a large scale dairy asset portfolio comprising of

six dairy assets in Maniototo, Central Otago totalling approximately 3,500 hectares.

Within the six farms there is a mixture of productive dairy platforms, support farms, and modern infrastructure. The

farms have averaged over 2.4M kilograms of milk solids per annum since 2017 and the assets have been well

maintained with investment in infrastructure to mitigate environmental impacts and climate change risks.

Approximately 70% of the assets are covered by central pivot irrigation (the most efficient irrigation method

available to the region). This irrigation platform has been enhanced by the construction of a 1,100,000m

dam

to increase water reliability.

FY22 ACQUISITION - MAKIKIHI

On 1 August 2021, NZL completed the acquisition of a 493 Ha Hybrid Dairy Farm. NZL has already entered

into a lease of this property with Performance Dairy Limited that will be for 11 years with two 12 year rights

of renewal.

The property has low levels of nutrient leaching, an A Grade Farm Environmental Plan Audit and the ability to

easily scale production to take advantage of high milk payout years.

NZL has also entered a put and call options deed where interests associated with the vendor may call for the

repurchase of Makikihi Farm from NZL at any time. In addition, in approximately 2 years’ time, NZL will have the

option to put the Makikihi Farm to the vendor and require it to purchase it back. In either case the purchase price

will be $12M plus 4.66% per annum.

BUYBACK

27
NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

Prior to undertaking our Initial Public Offering (IPO) last year, the directors adopted a Capital Management Policy for NZRLC. This policy, together with our other corporate

governance policies, is available on our website at www.nzrlc.co.nz.

Under the Capital Management Policy NZRLC is to establish a share buyback programme where NZRLC may, from time to time, acquire its own shares on-market. The

directors consider that having this ability is appropriate for NZRLC as acquiring its own shares may be an efficient use of capital and in the interests of NZRLC and its

shareholders.

The NZRLC directors have resolved to implement a share buyback programme under section 63 of the Companies Act 1993 (Programme). This letter is a disclosure

document for the programme under section 64. The purpose of this disclosure document is to explain to you the key parameters of the programme and to make certain other

prescribed disclosures. These particulars are as follows:

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

BUYBACK - DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT ISSUED TO NZX ON 16 MARCH 21

Maximum Number of Shares that may be acquired under the Programme

Under the Programme NZRLC may acquire not more than 6,046,000 of its own shares. This represents 10% of all shares on issue in NZRLC at the date of this

disclosure document.

Nature and Terms of the Programme

• Duration of Programme: NZRLC will only commence acquiring shares under the Programme 10 working days after this disclosure document has been sent

to shareholders. The Programme will end on the date that is 12 months later. At the conclusion of the Programme the Board may look to implement a new share

buyback programme in conjunction with a review of its Capital Management Policy.

• On-Market Purchases Only: NZRLC will only acquire shares under the Programme by making offers to acquire shares on the NZX Market. No shares will

be acquired off-market under the Programme.

• Consideration Payable: NZRLC will only acquire shares under the Programme where the acquisition price per share represents a discount of 10% or more

to NZRLC’s prevailing net asset value per share. The directors consider that acquisitions at this discount level may be an efficient use of NZRLC’s capital.

NZL INITIATIVES AND OUTLOOK FOR 2022+

29
NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

Sustainability and Endurance is a

Cornerstone of NZL

NZL considers multi-generational success and

endurance will rely on assets and partners

being leaders in increasing productivity and

championing impact reduction from food, fiber

and energy production.

This vision manifests itself in different ways

throughout NZL and its partners. Continuing to

implement, improve, measure and communicate

these initiatives is a focus for NZL.

Introducing Initiative #1 - NZL’s

Stewardship Pledge

NZL has developed a proprietary set of values

and measures designed to ensure endurance,

sustainability, improving productivity and a

reduction in environmental impact from the

utilisation of our assets. These include standards

that ensure optimum animal welfare, maximise

infrastructure efficiency and quality, improve farm

environmental impacts, and leading employment

practices.

NZL currently has five of its tenants that have

signed the ‘Stewardship Pledge’.

NZL will continue to develop and iterate the

‘Stewardship Pledge’ to ensure it is industy

leading and fit-for-purpose. NZL will also

prioritise working with tenants in future who share

similar values. NZL will initiate measurement on

both sustainability pledge initiatives and tenants

who have made a long-term commitment to

uphold these joint values.

Introducing Initiative #2 - Efficiency

Improving Infrastructure

NZL has continued to investigate opportunities

identified during due-diligence on properties

acquired to improve efficiency of use and

dispersion of water and nutrients, on a range of

small to medium sized infrastructure development.

These developments are likely to be land value

accretive and staged over a number of years.

NZL will continue its investigations across its

portfolio and will update investors on progress in

due course.

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

UPDATE ON NZL INITIATIVES

000102

30
NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

Introducing Initiative #3 - Bio-diversity

and Planting Initiatives

NZL has identified a number of potential

opportunities to increase bio-diversity and

planting on properties it has acquired.

These opportunities will be progressed on

completion of positive feasibility studies.

03

Introducing Initiative #4 - Communications

Reporting and Key Metrics

NZL believes in communicating and measuring

success, failure and progress on new and existing

initiatives. NZL undertakes investigations and

projects with the intention of being a leader in

value creation, endurance and sustainability.

NZL believes clear and regular communication

assists all stakeholders improve understanding

and provides an opportunity to lead by example.

NZL expects to increase investor/stakeholder

communication and reporting on current and

new initiatives in 2022.

GLOBAL TAILWINDS FOR DAIRY ARE PERSISTING

The global population is estimated to increase by +41% by 2050, causing the demand for food to increase. Current projections show the supply of dairy-based protein (milk)

alone, is currently 6 million tons short of demand, this shortage is estimated to be around 30 million tons by 2027.


There is a rising consumer preference for ethically produced food and rising global incomes which increases the demand for premium food that New Zealand produces;


It is projected that by 2050 feeding the world will require an increase in food production of 70%, at a time when supply of rural land is decreasing.

Land Prices vs Revenue (10Y average milk price at time of purchase)

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

DAIRY LAND PRICES vs REVENUE vs NZL ACQUISITIONS (TO DATE)

As with all asset classes, cyclicality and market anomalies present

opportunity. Dairy land has historically traded between ~5.0x and ~9.0x

the five year average milk price at time of purchase and between ~5.5x and

~7.0x the ten year average milk price at time of purchase.

During the FY2019 to FY2021period NZL saw an opportunity to acquire

at scale an attractive asset class (dairy land) at compelling prices versus

intrinsic value.

NZL executed on this strategy in 2021 - acquiring large scale, high quality

assets at historically low multiples of revenue. This is further enhanced by the

positive outlook, particularilly in the dairy sector.

NZL believes that there remains attractive opportunities across the rural

sector and is investigating a number of these at the moment that would see

NZL diversify into other sub-sectors of the New Zealand rural/agricultural

economy.

NZL Chair Address – 2021 Annual Shareholders Meeting (ASM)

15 December 2021

It is nearly a year to the day since New Zealand Rural Land Company (NZL) closed its IPO and listed on NZX.

A lot has been achieved in that year.

Firstly, we thank shareholders for their significant support. Our IPO in December 2020 raised $75 million and our June 2021

rights issue and follow-on placements raised a further $38.8 million. These are significant sums for a new company with a

new strategy.

We have been able to supplement that shareholder capital by establishing a strong relationship with Rabobank. During the

year we secured an $88.5 million debt facility with Rabobank and have had the cyclical benefit of low interest rates with an

average cost of debt of only ~2.9%.

With these resources we have acquired ownership of high quality New Zealand rural land in the dairy sector. We have spent

$197 million acquiring 10,800 hectares ha of dairying platforms and support farms in Canterbury, Otago and Southland.

We are now one of the 50 largest landowners in New Zealand.

Property revaluations were undertaken at our 30 June balance date over the majority of our portfolio. Those revaluations

saw the value of our rural land increase to around $220 million. That is more than 10% higher than cost and suggests that we

have acquired very well.

In conjunction with acquiring our rural land, we have entered long term leases with experienced tenants who now farm our

land. Across our portfolio we have five tenants and a weighted average lease term of 10 and a half years - one of the longest

in the listed property company sector.

Thanks to the security of the revenue from our long term leases we recently published forecasts for a total dividend payment of

4.7c a share for FY22, 5.7c for FY23 and 6.1c in FY24. We expect to pay our inaugural interim dividend in February 2022

for the period ending 31 December 2021.

In the coming year we will continue to look at acquisition opportunities and, in particular, opportunities to start diversifying

our rural land portfolio from being concentrated in the dairy sector. At the same time we will be working on our current land

portfolio with our tenants to look at improvements and sustainability initiatives that we can implement so that we are fulfilling

our responsibilities as a significant landlord in Aotearoa.

For too long rural land ownership has been inaccessible to most retail investors. Investors have needed large amounts of

capital or to be qualifying investors in private syndicates to gain this investment exposure. Our strategy is democratising rural

land ownership in New Zealand.

Unlike property syndicates we offer the liquidity and transparency of a listed entity. Even more critically, our investors are not

directly exposed to the operational risks associated with our rural land. We are confident that as we continue to execute on

our strategy, our share price will come to reflect the intrinsic value of the assets that we hold.

I now turn to Chris Swasbrook and Richard Milsom to provide a more detailed briefing to shareholders on behalf of our

Manager.
