The Conditions provide that the next election date for

(c) Election Date,

(together, the New Conditions) to apply to the Capital

Bonds from the Election Date. The new Interest Rate,

Issue Margin and Election Date are set out in section 2

below. The other terms of the Capital Bonds will

remain unchanged.

Vector has sent you an Election Notice together with

these explanatory notes which describes the election

options available to you as a New Zealand Bondholder

in relation to the upcoming Election Date, being to:

• keep all of your Capital Bonds; or

• keep all of your Capital Bonds and apply to purchase

additional Capital Bonds through the resale facility

to be established by Vector as part of the election

process (Resale Facility); or

• keep some of your Capital Bonds and offer to sell

the balance of your Capital Bonds through the

Resale Facility; or

• offer to sell all of your Capital Bonds through the

Resale Facility.

Completed Election Notices should be returned so

that they are received by Computershare Investor

Services Limited (Vector’s Capital Bond registrar)

(Computershare) no later than 5.00pm on Tuesday

31 May 2022. Election Notices can be completed

online at www.vctbondelection.co.nz.

If you do not complete your Election Notice online

correctly or if Computershare does not receive your

properly completed Election Notice by 5.00pm on

31 May 2022, you will be deemed to have elected to

continue to keep all of your Capital Bonds subject to

the New Conditions as from the Election Date.

If as at the close of trading on 31 May 2022 your registered

address is outside New Zealand, you will not be entitled

to make an election or keep your Capital Bonds after the

Election Date. All Capital Bonds held by Bondholders

with a non-New Zealand registered address as at the

close of trading on 31 May 2022 will be automatically

offered for sale through the Resale Facility.

Further information about election options for

New Zealand Bondholders is set out in section 5 below.

On the Election Date, Vector is required to pay you all

interest accrued, un-cancelled and unpaid up to that

date on your Capital Bonds. Vector will pay this interest

to you irrespective of whether or not you keep your

Capital Bonds after the Election Date.

Capitalised terms defined in the Trust Deed (including

in the Conditions) have the same meaning when used

in these explanatory notes.

2. New Conditions Applicable to the

Capital Bonds from the Election

Date

2.1 New Election Date

The new election date that will apply to the Capital Bonds

will be 15 June 2027 (New Election Date).

2.2 Interest Rate

An Interest Rate of 5.70 per cent per annum currently

applies to the Capital Bonds.

If all Capital Bonds offered for sale through the Resale

Facility are sold or redeemed by Vector, the Interest Rate

applicable to the Capital Bonds from the Election Date

will be the higher of either:

(a) 5.50 per cent per annum; or

(b) the Swap Rate at or about 3.00pm on 14 June 2022

plus the Issue Margin of 1.80 per cent per annum.

As at 28 April 2022, the Swap Rate was 3.95 per cent. By

way of illustrative example only, if the Interest Rate was

being determined on that date, the calculation set out

in paragraph (b) above would give an interest rate of 5.75

per cent per annum and accordingly the Interest Rate as

from the Election Date would be 5.75 per cent per annum

(being the higher of the figures in paragraph (a) and (b)

above). The Swap Rate will fluctuate between the date of

these explanatory notes and when it is calculated at or

about 3.00pm on 14 June 2022.

If any Capital Bonds offered for sale through the Resale

Facility are not sold or redeemed by Vector, the interest

rate payable by Vector on all Capital Bonds from the

Election Date will be the Adjusted Interest Rate (see

section 3 below).

3. Adjusted interest rate

The Adjusted Interest Rate is the aggregate of:

(a) the Swap Rate at or about 3.00pm on

14 June 2022; plus

(b) the Issue Margin for the prior Bond Period (being

an Issue Margin of 2.75 per cent per annum); plus

(c) the Specified Margin (being 1.00 per cent

per annum).

As noted above, on 28 April 2022, the Swap Rate was 3.95 per cent per annum. By way of illustrative example only, if the
Adjusted Interest Rate was being determined on that date, the calculation set out above would give an Adjusted Interest

Rate of 7.70 per cent per annum. The Swap Rate will fluctuate between the date of these explanatory notes and when it is

calculated at or about 3.00pm on 14 June 2022.

4. Interest Payment Dates

The Interest Payment Dates applicable to the Capital Bonds from the New Election Date will remain 15 June and

15 December in each year.
