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:

Services Limited (Vector’s Capital Bond registrar)

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
