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 of its obligations under this agreement and the appropriate remedies for such a
breach will include orders for specific performance, injunctive relief, any other
equitable relief and/or damages.

The provisions of this agreement are for the benefit of, and are intended to be

Issuer and NZX under the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017.
6 SEVERABILITY

cannot be enforced, that decision will not make the rest of this agreement invalid.
7 DE-LISTING
This agreement will be void and of no effect if the Issuer is de-listed by the NZX.

agreement and the Issuer shall not agree to any amendment without prior written
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.
