Equity Offer

New Zealand Rural Land Company Limited (NZX.NZL) has today announced a Pro Rata Accelerated Renounceable Entitlement

Offer to raise approximately $20.38 million (Offer). The net proceeds of the Offer will be used to fund the acquisitions of two

further dairy assets, Argyle Downs and Greenhill.

Chair of NZL, Rob Campbell said: “The acquisitions represent a continuation of NZL’s strategy of broadening its portfolio of high-

quality rural land assets which, following the acquisitions, will comprise approximately 11,710 hectares of dairy farms across

Canterbury, Central Otago, and Southland. These assets are all underpinned by triple net leases with CPI-linked rental adjustments,

resulting in NZL being well positioned in an inflationary environment.”

ACQUISITIONS

NZL has entered agreements to acquire the following properties:

• Argyle Downs Farm: A 564-hectare large scale dairy farm located in Southland, New Zealand to be leased to a new tenant

with CPI linked rent reviews for an initial term of 11 years. The tenant is led by experienced operators with significant farming

experience in New Zealand.

• Greenhill Farm: A 366-hectare, dairy farm located in Southland, New Zealand to be leased to a new tenant with CPI-linked

rent reviews for an initial term of 10 years. The tenant has a history of operational experience and good performance alongside

a strong balance sheet supporting the lease, providing NZL with confidence as to the tenants’ ability to farm in the region and

comply with local regulations.

Total purchase: NZ$29.0 million

OFFER

The Offer provides all eligible shareholders the opportunity to purchase 1 new share (New Shares) for every 5 existing shares

held at 5:00pm NZ time on the Record Date of Friday, 10 June 2022, at a price of NZ $1.05 per New Share (Application Price).

The Application Price reflects a 6.3% discount to the last close on Tuesday 7 June 2022 of NZ$1.12, a 5.3% discount to the

theoretical ex-rights price of NZ$1.11, and a 22.8% discount to the NAV per share (as at 31 December 2021).

The Offer is being conducted in two parts – an offer to eligible institutional shareholders (Institutional Entitlement Offer) and

an offer to eligible retail shareholders (Retail Entitlement Offer).

The Institutional Entitlement Offer has been accelerated and will be conducted today, with confirmations due by 5:00pm (NZ Time)

on Wednesday, 8 June 2022.

The Retail Entitlement Offer will open on Monday, 13 June 2022. Eligible retail shareholders will have until 5:00pm (NZ Time) on

Thursday, 23 June 2022 to subscribe for New Shares under the Retail Entitlement Offer.

The Farmgate Milk Price has been trending higher for two

a record high of $9.20 per kgMS this year due to global demand

for dairy products and constrained milk supply across multiple

regions.

Changes in the long-term milk price drive the value of dairy land.

The continuing increase in the milk payout can be expected to flow

through to the value of NZL’s land.

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

SectorDescriptionTimeframe

NZ’s environment suits dairy farming and has a lower cost of production,

in an environment of growing dairy product demand globally.

Existing

ownership

Eggs are highly nutritious and relatively low cost food which New

Zealand has a competitive advantage in producing, due to its suitability

for free range farming and local production of feed, both of which have

lower carbon footprints than more intensive operations.

Near-term

horizon

A growing demand supported by government policies and declining costs

of renewable energy construction provides attractive alternative land

use - for already productive rural land assets (typically sheep and beef

properties).

Near-term

horizon

New Zealand’s maritime climate, fertile soils and elongated geography

allow for regional wine variations including Pinot Noir and Sauvignon

Blanc. NZL believes forecast macro trends will provide for more

favourable future acquisition pricing in the sector.

Medium-term

horizon

New Zealand’s climate and soil allows for the production of a range of

high quality produce with Kiwifruit the largest crop. NZL considers that the

sector is largely fully priced but continues to monitor opportunities as they

arise.

Medium-term

horizon

New Zealand’s growing climate is ideal for pine trees. Forestry’s exclusion

from OIO has seen pricing substantially increase. NZL believes that new

changes making it more difficult for foreigners to convert land to forestry

should play favourably in the medium term.

the acquisition with an initial term of 10 years.

The key shareholder of the entity leasing the Greenhill

property has been a sharemilker on the property since

June 2021 and has a history of operational excellence. The

shareholder also owns and operates an additional farm of

similar scale.

The shareholder’s existing operations have an excellent

environmental track record and a demonstrated commitment to

both staff health and safety and animal welfare.

The tenant plans to include their current senior employees

in the ownership structure of the leasee providing them an

opportunity to grow equity and scale in the sector. NZL

sees this commitment to providing employees with further

opportunities in the dairy industry as a positive and believes

that the tenants will add a great deal of value to NZL’s

portfolio.

• NZL undertakes independent valuations of all its property on an annual basis.

• NZL’s annual revaluation of its land assets will take place as at 30 June 2022, and will be

announced with the full year results to be released in August 2022.

• Overall conditions remain relatively buoyant in the New Zealand rural land market, underpinned

by solid milk price conditions and primary produce export volumes & prices.

• NZL is confident that its recent acquisition of $61m, announced in October 2021, was acquired

attractively to prevailing market conditions;

‒ This land is currently held at cost on the balance sheet, but will be reviewed as at financial

year end against a new independent valuation.

• NZL expects that its 30 June 2022 revaluations will build on its record of outperforming farm

price index returns for rural land.

• Discussions with valuers to date with regards to the 30 June 2022 valuations have indicated the

valuation of NZL’s dairy assets are likely to see an increase of +7.50% - +9.50% versus 30 June

2021, resulting in a +9.8% - +12.5% NAV uplift per share versus NZL’s last reported NAV of

$1.36 per share prior to the impact of the Acquisitions and Equity Raise.

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY

APPENDIX 2

KEY RISKS

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY
KEY RISKS

28

KEY RISKS

Land Value RiskNZL will realise its strategy for capital growth in the value of rural land that it acquires only if NZL acquires rural land at a purchase price that is less than the rural land’s

future value. This requires NZL to predict future value when acquiring rural land, which involves inherent uncertainty. Acquiring unproductive land and other external

factors may reduce land value below the price that NZL paid to acquire that land.

NZL’s rural land is currently concentrated in the dairy sector and until there is greater diversification in its rural land holdings, the value of NZL’s land is susceptible to val-

ue decreases if there is a sustained downturn in the dairy sector. NZL’s rural land assets are also each of a relatively large scale making the number of potential buyers

more limited. Therefore, any realisation of NZL’s rural land assets may take longer to realise for an appropriate sale price.

Tenant Risk (financial)NZL’s income is rental payments received from Tenants who lease NZL’s rural land. Tenants are exposed to the financial risks associated with operations on the land (for

example, commodity price fluctuations, increases in operating costs, health risks to stock). If Tenants do not manage those risks or lack the financial capacity to absorb

those risks Tenants may default on lease payments to NZL. If NZL is required to replace a Tenant, NZL may have a period where it is receiving no or reduced income

from the rural land that it owns while a replacement is appointed. This could impact on NZL’s ability to pay dividends. Accordingly, NZL investors are indirectly exposed

to operational farming risks given that those risks can cause Tenants to become insolvent and reduce NZL’s income.

NZL currently has five Tenants leasing its rural land holdings. Diversifying this Tenant base over time is a key mitigant for NZL to ensure it is not overly exposed to the

financial position of any one Tenant.

Tenant Risk (operational)Operational practices of Tenants on NZL’s rural land could damage the rural land and decrease its value. For example, poor environmental or unsustainable farming

practices could reduce production on the rural land and lead to regulatory actions.

As with the Tenant risk (financial), NZL’s tenant selection criteria becomes a key mitigant where, in addition to selecting Tenant’s that are financially sound, Tenant’s need

to demonstrate a high degree of operational experience and a history of using best farming/agricultural practices.

NEW ZEALAND RURAL LAND COMPANY
KEY RISKS (continued)

29

KEY RISKS

Financing RiskTo grow and diversify its rural land holdings, NZL needs to access capital to fund acquisitions. Capital is sourced from a combination of bank debt and proceeds from

equity issuances.

NZL’s ability to raise capital from equity issuances will be subject to its financial performance, investor sentiment and prevailing market conditions. These factors cannot

be assured. This Offer is not underwritten and there is no assurance that NZL will secure sufficient proceeds under this Offer to pursue the strategies (including the

Acquisitions outlined in this presentation in which case the acquisitions and the offer would not proceed).

For bank debt, NZL has a medium-term target of maintaining a loan to value ratio (LVR) of 30% and, a bank covenant requiring the LVR to be no more than 40%. The

LVR of NZL is currently at 38.9%. Borrowing to an LVR at the higher end of this range has enabled NZL to act on acquisition opportunities as they arose and grow its

rural land holdings more rapidly. However, this has also reduced the headroom that NZL has with its bank covenant which could be a material risk if rural land values

decreased. In addition, this exposes NZL more to interest rate increases.

Capital Expenditure RiskThere could be unbudgeted capital expenditure on rural land that NZL acquires reducing the expected return from that land for NZL. Such unbudgeted capital

expenditure, or capital expenditure cost overruns may occur if repairs and maintenance are not being properly undertaken, which will generally be the responsibility

of the Tenant. Changes in environmental laws or environmental law non-compliance could give rise to unforeseen capital expenditure necessary for compliance or

remediation.

COVID-19 Pandemic RisksCOVID-19 has and continues to cause significant supply chain disruptions for both domestic and international markets. To date, global supply chains have prioritised the

delivery of food products, minimising disruption to the New Zealand dairy sector. However, supply chain disruptions are continuing and if they do start impacting more

on food products, this could increase spoilage of dairy products, cause increases in operating costs and a reduction in profitability for Tenants.

SECTION 2: LETTER FROM THE CHAIR

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board, it is my pleasure to invite you to participate in New Zealand Rural Land Company Limited’s 1 for 5 accelerated

renounceable entitlement offer announced to the market on Wednesday, 8 June 2022. We intend to raise approximately NZ$20.38

million through the Offer to fund the acquisition of two dairy farms, Argyle Downs and Greenhill.

The acquisitions represent a continuation of NZRLC’s strategy of broadening its portfolio of high-quality rural land assets which, following

the acquisitions, will comprise approximately 11,710 hectares of dairy farms across Canterbury, Central Otago, and Southland. These

assets are all underpinned by triple net leases with CPI-linked rental adjustments, resulting in NZRLC being well positioned in a high

inflation environment.

REINZ’s latest farm price data indicates there has been strong growth in rural land prices since NZRLC’s last revaluations (as at 30 June

2021), underpinned by high prices for milk solids, which is expected to support a positive uplift in Net Asset Value for NZRLC’s 30 June

2022 revaluations.

NZRLC will continue to investigate opportunities in dairy, free range poultry and dry stock, leveraging our unique position as a scale

acquirer of New Zealand rural land, due to restrictions on overseas buyers, and difficulty accessing capital for many domestic buyers.

ARGYLE DOWNS ACQUISITION

NZRLC has an agreement to acquire Argyle Downs Farm, a 564-hectare large scale dairy farm located in Southland, New Zealand.

NZRLC has signed an agreement to lease with a new tenant for an initial rental of > 5%, with CPI-linked rent reviews for an initial term of

11 years. The tenant is led by experienced operators with significant farming experience in New Zealand. This lease will commence on 1

June 2023 with the vendor of Argyle Downs leasing Argyle Downs from settlement until 31 May 2023.

The Argyle Downs acquisition is expected to settle on 15 June 2022. Completion of the acquisition is subject to a final due diligence

condition and NZRLC arranging sufficient finance to undertake the acquisition.

GREENHILL ACQUISITION

NZRLC has concurrently signed an agreement to acquire Greenhill Farm, a 366 hectare dairy farm located in Southland, New Zealand.

NZRLC has signed a lease with a new tenant for an initial rental of > 5%, with CPI-linked rent reviews for an initial term of 10 years. The

tenant has a history of operational experience and good performance alongside a strong balance sheet supporting the lease, providing

NZRLC with confidence as to the tenant’s ability to farm in the region and comply with local regulations.

The Greenhill acquisition is expected to settle on 15 June 2022. Completion of the Greenhill acquisition is subject to a final due diligence

condition and NZRLC arranging sufficient finance to undertake the acquisition.

The Argyle Downs and Greenhill acquisitions together are expected to be broadly neutral on a pro forma FY22F AFFO per share basis

for NZRLC shareholders and improve the quality & diversity of NZRLC’s portfolio.

upon the successful completion of the Offer and the acquisitions.

The Board reconfirms NZRLC’s recently released AFFO guidance for FY22 of 4.2 cents per Share and second half FY22 distribution

guidance of 2.19 cents per Share.

THE OFFER

As an existing shareholder, you have the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share at an Application Price of NZ$1.05 for every 5 Shares

you own at 5.00pm on Friday, 10 June 2022.

The Application Price of NZ$1.05 represents:

• a 6.3% discount to NZRLC’s closing share price of NZ$1.12 on NZX on Tuesday, 7 June 2022 (being the last trading day

of NZ$1.11.

The Application Price is the same price for both the Institutional Offer and the Retail Offer.

You can choose to take up your Entitlement in whole, in part or not at all. Entitlements cannot be traded or sold on the NZX Main Board,

nor can they be traded privately.

In addition to being able to take up their Entitlement, Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up their Entitlement in full may apply for

additional New Shares not taken up by other retail shareholders. Any applications for additional New Shares will go into the Bookbuild

in respect of the Retail Offer, which will also involve Institutional Investors.

If you do not take up any of your Entitlements and the Offer is fully subscribed, your shareholding in NZRLC will be diluted by 16.7%.

Any New Shares attributable to Entitlements that are not taken up by Eligible Shareholders, or which are attributable to Entitlements that

would have been issued to Ineligible Shareholders had they been entitled to participate, will be offered through two Bookbuilds run by

the Joint Lead Managers. There will be one Bookbuild in respect of the Institutional Offer and one Bookbuild in respect of the Retail Offer.

Any proceeds in excess of the Application Price under the Bookbuilds (a Premium) will be paid (net of any amounts required to be

withheld) on a pro rata basis to those Shareholders who do not take up all of their Entitlements or who are not eligible to do so under each

of the Institutional Offer and the Retail Offer, respectively. There is no guarantee that there will be any Premium realised for the Entitlements

offered for sale in the Bookbuilds, and the Premium realised (if any) in one Bookbuild may be different from the Premium realised (if any)

in the other Bookbuild.

Theoretical Ex-Rights Price (TERP) is the theoretical price at which NZRLC’s Shares should trade at immediately after the ex-date of the Offer. TERP is

a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which NZRLC Shares will trade immediately after the ex-date for the Offer will depend on many

factors and may not be equal to TERP. TERP is calculated with reference to NZRLC’s closing Share price of NZ$1.12 on Tuesday, 7 June 2022 (being the

last trading day before the Offer was announced).

SECTION 5: DETAILS OF THE OFFER

Overview

The Offer

The Offer is an offer of New Shares to Eligible Shareholders under a pro rata accelerated renounceable Entitlement offer. Under the

Offer, Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 5 Existing Shares held at 5:00pm (NZ Time) on the Record

Date. The New Shares will be the same class as, and will rank equally with, Existing Shares which are quoted on the NZX Main Board.

It is a term of the Offer that NZRLC will take any necessary steps to ensure that the New Shares are, immediately after issue, quoted on

the NZX Main Board.

The Offer comprises the following components:

• the Institutional Offer; and

• the Retail Offer.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you may take up all, part or none of your Entitlements. If you are an Eligible Shareholder and you do

not take up all of your Entitlements, your current shareholding will be diluted as a result of the issue of New Shares.

The maximum number of New Shares that are being offered under the Offer is 19,412,401 New Shares (subject to rounding). NZRLC will

raise a total of approximately NZ$20.38 million through the Offer.

Application Price

The Application Price is NZ$1.05 per New Share.

The Application Price must be paid in full on application. Payment of the Application Price for the Retail Offer must be made online and

by direct debit in accordance with the online application process. NZRLC may accept or reject (at its discretion) any online application

which it considers is not completed correctly and may correct any errors or omissions in the online application. An application may not

be withdrawn without NZRLC’s prior consent once submitted.

Application monies received will be held in a trust account with Link Market Services until the corresponding New Shares are allotted or

the application monies are refunded. Interest earned on the application monies will be for the benefit, and remain the property, of NZRLC

and will be retained by NZRLC whether or not the issue of New Shares takes place. Any refunds of application monies (without interest)

will be made within 5 Business Days of allotment (or the date that the decision not to accept an application is made, as the case may be).

Withdrawal

Subject to NZRLC’s compliance with all applicable laws, NZRLC reserves the right to withdraw the Offer at any time at its absolute discretion.

If any application is not accepted, all applicable application monies will be refunded (without interest) to the relevant Shareholder.

Purpose of the Offer and Use of Proceeds

NZRLC is seeking to raise approximately NZ$20.38 million under the Offer. The principal use of proceeds is to partly fund acquisitions of

rural land in New Zealand. Details of these acquisitions and other use of proceeds is contained in the Investor Presentation.

NEW ZEALAND Rural Land Co
SUSTAINABLE AOTEAROA

www.nzrlc.co.nz

The Institutional Offer

Purpose of the Offer and Use of Proceeds

NZRLC is offering Eligible Institutional Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 5 Existing Shares held as at

5:00pm (NZ Time) on the Record Date, at an Application Price of NZ$1.05 per New Share. Eligible Institutional Shareholders may take

up all, part or none of their Entitlements.

The Institutional Offer will be conducted on 8 June 2022 (subject to NZRLC’s right to modify the Offer dates or times).

Entitlements will not be quoted and cannot be traded on the NZX Main Board or privately transferred.

Eligibility under the Institutional Offer

The Institutional Offer is only open to Eligible Institutional Shareholders. NZRLC and the Joint Lead Managers will determine the

Shareholders who will be treated as Eligible Institutional Shareholders for the purpose of determining the Shareholders to whom an offer

of New Shares will be made under the Institutional Offer. In exercising their discretion, NZRLC and the Joint Lead Managers may have

regard to a number of matters, including legal and regulatory requirements. NZRLC and the Joint Lead Managers will agree on which

Shareholders will be treated as Ineligible Institutional Shareholders.

NZRLC reserves the right to reject any application for New Shares under the Institutional Offer that it considers comes from a person who

is not an Eligible Institutional Shareholder.

Acceptance of Entitlement under the Institutional Offer

The Joint Lead Managers will seek to contact Eligible Institutional Shareholders to inform them of the terms and conditions of participation

in the Institutional Offer and will seek confirmation of their Entitlements under the Offer. Application for New Shares by Eligible Institutional

Shareholders can only be made by contact with the Joint Lead Managers.

Entitlements are not rounded up to a minimum holding. The number of New Shares to which an Eligible Institutional Shareholder is entitled

under its Entitlement will, in the case of fractions of New Shares, be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

New Shares attributable to the Institutional Offer not taken up by Eligible Institutional Shareholders under the Institutional Offer and

the Entitlements of certain Ineligible Institutional Shareholders will be sold under a bookbuild process to Institutional Investors, with any

surplus subscription monies above the price for the Offer being returned pro rata to Institutional Shareholders who did not participate in

the Institutional Offer, based on their shareholding at the Record Date.

Settlement of the Institutional Offer

Settlement of the Institutional Offer will occur on the Institutional Settlement Date in accordance with arrangements advised by the Joint

Lead Managers. Each investor remains responsible for ensuring its own compliance with the Takeovers Code.

The Retail Offer

Overview of the Retail Offer

NZRLC is offering Eligible Retail Shareholders the opportunity to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 5 Existing Shares held as at 5.00pm

(NZ Time) on the Record Date, at an Application Price of NZ$1.05 per New Share. This ratio and the Application Price are the same as for

the Institutional Offer. Eligible Retail Shareholders will be sent this Offer Document and may take up all, part or none of their Entitlements.

NEW ZEALAND Rural Land Co
SUSTAINABLE AOTEAROA

www.nzrlc.co.nz

The Retail Offer opens on 13 June 2022 and closes at 5.00pm (NZ Time) on 23 June 2022 (subject to NZRLC’s right to modify these

dates and times).

Entitlements will not be quoted and cannot be traded on the NZX Main Board or privately transferred.

Eligibility under the Retail Offer

The Retail Offer is only open to Eligible Retail Shareholders.

The Retail Offer does not constitute an offer to any person who is not an Eligible Retail Shareholder (including any Institutional Shareholder

or an Ineligible Retail Shareholder). Any person allocated New Shares under the Institutional Offer is not able to participate in the Retail

Offer in respect of those New Shares.

NZRLC reserves the right to reject any application for New Shares under the Retail Offer that it considers comes from a person who is not

an Eligible Retail Shareholder.

Acceptance of Entitlement under the Retail Offer

Each Eligible Retail Shareholder’s Entitlement to participate in the Retail Offer will be set out in the online application form. Applications

for New Shares by Eligible Retail Shareholders can be made via an online application at https://nzl.capitalraise.co.nz/. Alternatively,

Eligible Retail Shareholders who are not in a position to apply online may contact Link Market Services to discuss alternative options

(please refer to the directory for contact details).

Entitlements are not rounded up to a minimum holding. The number of New Shares to which an Eligible Retail Shareholder is entitled under

an Entitlement will, in the case of fractions of New Shares, be rounded down to the nearest whole number.

Eligible Retail Shareholders are not obliged to subscribe for any or all of the New Shares to which they are entitled under the Offer. They

may take up all, part or none of their Entitlements.

Any person outside New Zealand who takes up an Entitlement in the Retail Offer (and therefore applies for New Shares) through a New

Zealand resident nominee, and their nominee, will be deemed to have represented and warranted to NZRLC that the Offer can be lawfully

made to their nominee pursuant to this Offer Document. None of NZRLC, the Joint Lead Managers, Link Market Services or any of their

respective directors, officers, employees, agents, or advisers accept any liability or responsibility to determine whether a person is eligible

to participate in this Offer.

New Shares attributable to the Retail Offer not taken up by Eligible Retail Shareholders under the Retail Offer and the Entitlements

of certain Ineligible Retail Shareholders will be sold under a bookbuild process to Institutional Investors (which may include Eligible

Institutional Shareholders whether or not they take up their full Entitlements under the Offer), to brokers and to Eligible Retail Shareholders

who took up their full Entitlement and have applied for additional New Shares under the Offer (as set out in more detail below under

the heading “Application to take up additional New Shares”), with any surplus subscription monies above the price for the Offer being

returned pro rata to retail Shareholders who did not participate in the Retail Offer.

Application to Take Up Additional New Shares

Eligible Retail Shareholders who have taken up their full Entitlement may apply for additional New Shares that will be offered for sale

under the Retail Bookbuild. Eligible Retail Shareholders may apply for these additional New Shares as directed via the online application

platform and should specify the NZ$ amount of additional New Shares they wish to apply for at the Clearing Price determined through

the Retail Bookbuild. Any applications for additional New Shares will go into the Retail Bookbuild.

Payment must be made for both the full Entitlement and any additional New Shares you apply for.

NEW ZEALAND Rural Land Co
SUSTAINABLE AOTEAROA

www.nzrlc.co.nz

The price for New Shares under the Retail Bookbuild will be the Clearing Price determined through the Retail Bookbuild, which will be:

• equal to or above the Application Price; and

• no more than the volume-weighted average price on the NZX Main Board for an Existing Share on the last trading day prior

to the Retail Bookbuild (unless the closing price is less than the Application Price, in which case the Clearing Price for the Retail

Bookbuild will be equal to the Application Price).

Once the Clearing Price for the Retail Bookbuild has been determined, the application monies in respect of any applications for New

Shares in the Retail Bookbuild by Eligible Retail Shareholders will be divided by the Clearing Price for the Retail Bookbuild to calculate the

number of New Shares that those Eligible Retail Shareholders have applied for (subject to scaling), rounded down to the nearest whole

New Share.

Allocations and any necessary scaling of additional New Shares applied for by Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up their full

Entitlements will be determined by the Joint Lead Managers as part of the Retail Bookbuild process.

The number of New Shares received by an Eligible Retail Shareholder under the Retail Bookbuild will depend on the allocation made and

the Clearing Price for the Retail Bookbuild, and may be less than the NZ$ amount of additional New Shares applied for. If applications

for additional New Shares under the Retail Bookbuild are scaled or not accepted, excess application monies will be refunded without

interest. Refunds will not be paid where the aggregate amount of the refund payable to a Shareholder is less than NZ$5.00. Refunds of

any additional New Shares will be paid within 5 business days of the applicable Allotment Date.

Eligible Retail Shareholders who do not take up their Entitlement in full will not be eligible to participate in the Retail Bookbuild.

The Institutional Bookbuild and Retail Bookbuild

New Shares that are attributable to Entitlements that are not taken up by Eligible Shareholders under the Offer (together with those

attributable to Entitlements of Ineligible Shareholders) will be offered under an Institutional Bookbuild and Retail Bookbuild to Institutional

Investors (which may include Eligible Institutional Shareholders whether or not they took up their full Entitlement under the Offer), brokers/

NZX Firms acting on behalf of retail clients in New Zealand and Eligible Retail Shareholders who took up their full Entitlement and have

applied for additional New Shares under the Offer.

The Clearing Price under the Institutional Bookbuild and Retail Bookbuild will be equal to or above the Application Price. If the Clearing

Price for the relevant bookbuild is equal to the Application Price:

• NZRLC will receive the Application Price for all New Shares issued; and

• no cash will be payable to any Shareholder.

If the Clearing Price for the relevant bookbuild is above the Application Price:

• NZRLC will receive the Application Price for all New Shares issued; and

• any premium over the Application Price will be paid pro rata:

o in the case of the Institutional Bookbuild, to each Eligible Institutional Shareholder who did not take up their

Entitlement in full (with respect to the part of the Entitlement they did not take up only) and each Ineligible Institutional

Shareholder; and

NEW ZEALAND Rural Land Co
SUSTAINABLE AOTEAROA

www.nzrlc.co.nz

o in the case of the Retail Bookbuild, to each Eligible Retail Shareholder who did not take up their Entitlement in full

(with respect to the part of the Entitlement they did not take up only) and each Ineligible Retail Shareholder.

The Clearing Price under the Institutional Bookbuild and the Retail Bookbuild may differ and there is no assurance that any premium over

the Application Price will be achieved in either or both bookbuilds. None of NZRLC or the Joint Lead Managers or any of their respective

directors, officers, employees, agents, or advisers will be liable for a failure to achieve a Clearing Price that is greater than the Application

Price.

Any premium achieved over the Application Price under the Institutional Bookbuild and the Retail Bookbuild will be announced by NZRLC

through MAP.

Nominees

If you hold Existing Shares as nominee for more than one person, then you may (depending on the nature of each such person) be an

Eligible Institutional Shareholder, Ineligible Institutional Shareholder, Eligible Retail Shareholder or Ineligible Retail Shareholder with

regard to the Entitlement of each such person.

Notice to Nominees and Custodians

The Retail Offer is being made to all Eligible Retail Shareholders. Nominees and custodians with registered addresses in eligible

jurisdictions, irrespective of whether they participated under the Institutional Offer, may also be able to participate in the Retail Offer in

respect of some or all of the beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Existing Shares, provided that the applicable beneficiary would

satisfy the criteria for an Eligible Retail Shareholder.

Nominees and custodians who hold Shares as nominees or custodians will receive a letter from NZRLC. Nominees and custodians should

consider carefully the contents of that letter and note in particular that the Retail Offer is not available to, and they must not purport to

accept the Retail Offer in respect of:

• beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Existing Shares who would not satisfy the criteria for an Eligible Retail Shareholder;

• Eligible Institutional Shareholders who received an offer to participate in the Institutional Offer (whether they accepted their

Entitlement or not);

• Ineligible Institutional Shareholders who were ineligible to participate in the Institutional Offer; or

• Shareholders who are not eligible under applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the Retail Offer.

In particular, persons acting as nominees for other persons must not take up Entitlements on behalf of, or send any documents relating to

the Retail Offer to, any person in the United States. Persons in the United States and persons acting for the account or benefit of persons

in the United States will not be able to exercise Entitlements under the Retail Offer.

NZRLC is not required to determine whether or not any registered Shareholder is acting as a nominee or the identity or residence of any

beneficial owners of Shares or Entitlements. Where any Shareholder is acting as a nominee for a foreign person, that Shareholder, in

dealing with its beneficiary will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Retail Offer is compatible with

applicable foreign laws. NZRLC is not able to advise on foreign laws.

NEW ZEALAND Rural Land Co
SUSTAINABLE AOTEAROA

www.nzrlc.co.nz

Overseas Shareholders

The Offer is only open to Eligible Shareholders and persons who NZRLC is satisfied can otherwise participate in the Offer in compliance

with all applicable laws. NZRLC has determined that it would be unduly onerous to extend the Retail Offer to Ineligible Retail Shareholders

and the Institutional Offer to Ineligible Institutional Shareholders because of the small number of such Shareholders, the number and value

of Shares that they hold and the cost of complying with the applicable regulations in jurisdictions outside New Zealand.

This Offer Document is only being sent by NZRLC to Eligible Shareholders. The distribution of this Offer Document (including an electronic

copy) outside New Zealand may be restricted by applicable laws. Any failure to comply with such restrictions may contravene applicable

securities law. NZRLC disclaims all liability to such persons.

Nominees and custodians may not distribute any part of this Offer Document, and may not permit any beneficial Shareholder to participate

in the Offer who is located, in the United States or any other country outside New Zealand except to institutional and professional investors

listed in, and to the extent permitted under, this section.

Terms and Ranking of New Shares

New Shares will rank equally with, and have the same voting rights, dividend rights and other Entitlements as, Existing Shares in NZRLC

quoted on the NZX Main Board. Entitlements will not be quoted and cannot be traded on the NZX Main Board or privately transferred.

It is a term of the Offer that NZRLC will take any necessary steps to ensure that the New Shares are, immediately after issue, quoted on

the NZX Main Board.

Quotation on NZX

The New Shares have been accepted for quotation by NZRLC and will be quoted on the NZX Main Board upon completion of allotment

procedures. The NZX Main Board is a licensed market under the FMCA. It is expected that trading on the NZX Main Board of the New

Shares issued under:

• the Institutional Offer will commence on Tuesday, 14 June 2022; and

• the Retail Offer will commence on Friday, 1 July 2022.

Dividend Policy

NZRLC’s dividend policy is to pay out 95% of the Adjusted Funds from Operations (AFFO) of NZRLC each year. AFFO is a non-GAAP

financial measure and is calculated based on NZRLC’s net profit after tax and adjusted to:

• add back or deduct any property re-valuations which were included in net profit after tax so they are not taken into account;

• add back depreciation and amortisation;

• deduct maintenance capital expenditure (but not development capital expenditure); and

• add back or deduct any other non-cash adjustments.

The payment of dividends is not guaranteed, is at the discretion of the Board and depends on various factors such as solvency, funding

requirements and bank covenant requirements.

An interim dividend of 2.01 cents per share for 2022 was declared on 22 February 2022. A final dividend, if any, will be declared in late

August 2022 when the full year result is announced to NZX. Holders of New Shares will be entitled to receive any such final dividend.
