BACKGROUND


A The Issuer has applied to NZX to list and to have its ordinary shares quoted on the NZX

Main Board.

B The Shareholder will be allocated Shares when the Shares are listed on the NZX Main

Board.

THE PARTIES AGREE as follows:

1 DEFINED TERMS

In this agreement, unless the context requires otherwise:

Affiliate means in relation to any person, a person that directly or indirectly, through

one or more intermediaries, owns and controls or is owned and controlled by or is

under common ownership and control with the person and, in relation to a family trust

means any beneficiary (ascertained or discretionary) of that trust.

Business Day means a day on which the NZX Main Board is open for trading.

Date of Quotation means the first day on which the ordinary shares in the Issuer are

quoted on the NZX Main Board.

Non-Interested Directors means, in relation to any decision, directors of the Issuer who

are not “interested” for the purposes of the Companies Act 1993.

NZX means NZX Limited and includes its successors and assigns and as the context

permits includes any duly authorised delegate of NZX.

NZX Main Board means the main board financial product market operated by NZX

Limited.

Restricted Period means the period from the Date of Quotation and ending on the first

Business Day after release to NZX of the Issuer’s “Results Announcement” (as defined in

the NZX Listing Rules) for the financial year ended 30 June 2023.

Shares means all ordinary shares in the Issuer to be registered in the name of the

Shareholder at the Date of Quotation.

2 ESCROW

2.1 The Shareholder unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to the Non-Interested

Directors, the Issuer and NZX that (subject to clause 3) it will not:

6


(a) sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or offer or agree to sell, transfer

assign or otherwise dispose of, their right and title to, and beneficial interest in,

the Shares in the Restricted Period, otherwise than by way of granting a security

interest in favour of any bona fide lender to the Shareholder; or

(b) do, or omit to do, any act if the act or omission would have the effect of

transferring effective ownership or control of the Shares in the Restricted Period

otherwise than pursuant to enforcement of any loan and/or security interest

granted to a bona fide lender to the Shareholder,

without the prior written approval of each of the Non-Interested Directors, the Issuer

and NZX (at their respective discretions but subject to clause 3), and after giving written

notice of no less than 5 Business Days.

2.2 The right of the Shareholder to deal with the Shares is also subject to any other

restrictions which may be applicable, including under the NZX Listing Rules and the

Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

3 EXCEPTIONS

3.1 Notwithstanding the restrictions set out in clause 2.1 of this agreement:

(a) the Shareholder may transfer all or part of the Shares to an Affiliate, provided

that the Affiliate enters into a Restricted Security Agreement with the Issuer in

relation to the Shares transferred on the same terms as this agreement for the

remainder of the Restricted Period;

(b) the Shareholder may transfer legal title to any of the Shares directly to the

beneficial owner of those Shares, provided that such beneficial owner must

enter into (or is already a party to) a Restricted Security Agreement with the

Issuer in relation to the Shares transferred on the same terms as this agreement

for the remainder of the Restricted Period; and

(c) if the Shareholder has entered into this agreement in its capacity as a trustee of

a trust it may transfer all of its Shares to any new or replacement trustee of the

relevant trust, provided that the new or replacement trustee enters into a

Restricted Security Agreement with the Issuer in relation to the Shares

transferred on the same terms as this agreement for the remainder of the

Restricted Period.

3.2 Clause 2.1 of this agreement will not apply in relation to any full or partial takeover

offer made under the Takeovers Code or similar scheme of arrangement, provided that

any such takeover offer or similar scheme of arrangement is not made, whether directly

or indirectly, by the Shareholder or any Affiliate of it. For clarity, if a full or partial

takeover offer is made or proposed to be made during the Restricted Period, directly or

indirectly by a person who is not the Shareholder or an Affiliate of it then the

Shareholder may sell, or agree, or offer to sell all or any part of the Shares to the offeror

under that offer.

breach will include orders for specific performance, injunctive relief, any other

equitable relief and/or damages.

cannot be enforced, that decision will not make the rest of this agreement invalid.

7 DE-LISTING

approval of NZX.

8.2 The Issuer will provide NZX with notice immediately in the event that it becomes aware

of a breach or a likely breach of the agreement.
