Update on acquisition of WasteCo Holdings NZ

The directors of Goodwood Capital Limited (NZX: GWC) have previously announced that GWC has

reached agreement to acquire 100% of WasteCo Holdings NZ Limited (WasteCo), a diversified

waste, refuse and industrial services business with operations in Christchurch, Ashburton, Timaru,

Oamaru, Dunedin and Balclutha.

By way of an update to the market on progress of the transaction:

1. Good progress has been made with the drafting of the Notice of Meeting and the Listing

Profile.

2. GWC has engaged Simmons Corporate Finance to prepare the Independent Advisors

Report, and the preparation of that Report is well advanced.

3. The parties anticipate being in a position to submit the suite of Reverse Takeover (“RTO”)

documentation to the regulators within the next three weeks.

4. The parties have agreed to vary the purchase consideration payable to acquire WasteCo

Holdings from $31 million to $29.2 million. The revised purchase price will comprise:

(a) $25.2 million for the WasteCo commercial business operations. This represents a

reduction in the price for the business operations from $28 million to $25.2

million;

(b) $4 million on account of the redemption of the Mandatory Convertible Notes

(“MCN’s”) on issue in WasteCo as at the date of completion of the RTO. This

represents an increase in the quantum of MCN’s on issue from $3 million to $4

million. These additional funds are being raised by WasteCo to fund the ongoing

working capital requirements and growth initiatives of WasteCo in the interim

period up to the completion of the RTO.

5. The revised purchase price for the WasteCo business operations ($25.2 million) will be

satisfied by the issue of 504 million fully paid ordinary shares at an issue price of NZ$0.05

per share to the shareholders of WasteCo. In addition, GWC will issue 80,000,000 fully

paid ordinary shares at an issue price of NZ$0.05 per share to the holders of $4 million of

MCN’s.

6. In addition, the amount of new capital to be raised by GWC in conjunction with the

completion of the RTO has been increased from $3 million to $4 million. This additional

capital will be deployed by the combined GWC/WasteCo Group post RTO to fund ‘value

accretive growth initiatives.

7. The balance of the transaction remains as disclosed in the announcement of 26 April

2022.
