Dear Michael,
Heartland Group Holdings Limited (HGH) – Price Enquiry

We write with respect to the continuous disclosure obligations set out in the Listing Rules (Rules).
Listing Rule 3.1.1 (”the rule”) is set out in the Schedule attached to this letter. In summary, this rule
requires issuers to immediately disclose any Material Information to NZX Limited (“NZ RegCo”).
The rule provides limited exceptions to this obligation. Material Information does not need to be
disclosed where a reasonable person would not expect the information to be disclosed and where
the information is confidential, and its confidentiality is maintained and where one of five safe
harbours applies.
The price of HGH has increased from $1.96, being the market closing price on 13 July 2022 to
$2.17, being the price at 12:50 pm on 20 July 2022. This represents a total increase of $0.21, or
10.7%.
Given this increase in the price of HGH shares, please advise NZ RegCo whether HGH continues
to comply with Listing Rule 3.1.1.
Could you please provide NZ RegCo with an answer to the above question (email:
surveillance@nzregco.com) before 9:00 am on Thursday, 21 July 2022.
Please provide your response to this letter in “PDF” format. It will be published in full to the market.
Kind Regards,
