new fully paid ordinary shares in NZX.

Approximately 68% of Eligible Institutional Shareholders elected to take up their Entitlements.

Retail Bookbuild

NZX will offer approximately 13.2 million entitlements for sale under the retail shortfall bookbuild (“Retail Bookbuild”). These

entitlements are those attributable to Eligible Retail Shareholders that did not take up their entitlements in full and Retail

Shareholders who were ineligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

Any proceeds achieved above the Application Price from the sale of Retail Entitlements will be paid (less applicable taxes) on a

pro-rata basis to those Eligible Retail Shareholders who did not take up their entitlements in full or Retail Shareholders who

were ineligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer. There is no guarantee that any amount will be realised for the

sale of Retail Entitlements through the Retail Bookbuild.

The Retail Bookbuild will be conducted today and is open to institutional investors and brokers acting on behalf of retail

clients in New Zealand. NZX's ordinary shares are being placed in a trading halt today while the Retail Bookbuild is conducted.

Trading is expected to recommence on market open tomorrow, Wednesday 16 March 2022, with the announcement of the

outcome of the Retail Bookbuild.

Settlement and allotment of all shares for the Retail Entitlement Offer is expected to occur on Friday, 18 March 2022. Trading

of those shares is expected to commence on the NZX on Friday, 18 March 2022. The new shares to be issued under the Retail

Entitlement Offer will rank equally in all respects with NZX’s existing ordinary shares. Holding statements for the new shares

issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer will be dispatched on Monday, 21 March 2022.
