NZX ANNOUNCEMENT
TOURISM HOLDINGS LIMITED (thl)

THL TO ACQUIRE MAXITRANS NZ

thl advises that Action Manufacturing has today entered into a conditional agreement to purchase the
business and assets of MaxiTRANS in New Zealand (MaxiTRANS) from Australia Trailer Solutions Group
New Zealand Limited.

The purchase price is approximately $5.7M and reflects the net asset value of the business. The purchase
price will therefore be adjusted to reflect net asset value on completion. It is expected that the conditions
will be satisfied in the coming weeks and that the acquisition will complete at the end of February.

MaxiTRANS is a well-established business operating in the heavy transport manufacturing industry under
the brands of Maxi-CUBE and Freighter, and employs approximately 50 people. With its current forward
book, as a standalone business MaxiTRANS is expected to generate revenue in excess of $18M in the 12
month period ending 30 June 2022.

The transaction will be funded through thl utilising the headroom in its current debt facilities.

thl Chief Executive, Grant Webster, said “we are excited to continue to support Action Manufacturing to
grow its non-RV manufacturing activity. MaxiTRANS has a strong forward order book and the acquisition
and associated synergies will enable more efficient use of Action Manufacturing’s physical, financial and
intellectual property assets. We expect MaxiTRANS to deliver above thl’s internal return on funds
employed target.”
