NZX/ASX release

25 August 2022


Opening of SPP of up to NZ$70 million


Heartland Group Holdings Limited (Heartland) (NZX/ASX: HGH) is pleased to announce the opening

today of its non-underwritten share purchase plan offer of up to NZ$70 million (SPP) (with the ability

for Heartland to accept oversubscriptions at its discretion). The SPP is part of Heartland’s NZ$200

million equity raising announced on 23 August 2022, pursuant to which Heartland also undertook a

fully underwritten NZ$130 million placement of new shares to institutional shareholders in New

Zealand, Australia and certain other jurisdictions (Placement).


Heartland announced the successful completion of the Placement yesterday (24 August 2022). The

Placement of NZ$130 million of new, fully paid ordinary shares was fully subscribed at the fixed price

of NZ$1.80 per share. Allotment of the new shares issued under the Placement occurs on 29 August

2022 and will not be entitled to participate in the SPP.


Under the SPP, each shareholder with an address recorded in Heartland’s share register in New

Zealand or Australia as at 7.00pm (NZST)/5.00pm (AEST) on the record date of 22 August 2022 can

subscribe for up to NZ$50,000/A$45,000 worth of new ordinary shares in Heartland (Shares). The

offer price of these Shares will be the lower of the Placement offer price of NZ$1.80 and a 2.5%

discount to the five-day volume weighted average price of Heartland shares traded on the NZX over

the five business day period prior to, and including, the closing date of the SPP offer. The new Shares

to be issued under the SPP will rank equally in all respects with Heartland’s existing ordinary shares

on issue, but will not be eligible for the FY2022 final dividend with a record date of 26 August 2022.


If scaling of the SPP is required, it will be done having regard to shareholders’ existing shareholdings

at 7.00pm (NZST)/5.00pm (AEST) on the record date of 22 August 2022.


A SPP offer document will be sent or made available to eligible shareholders today and will also be

available to those eligible shareholders at www.heartlandshareoffer.co.nz from today. All eligible

shareholders are encouraged to visit that website and apply online before the closing date at

7.00pm (NZST)/5.00pm (AEST) on Monday, 5 September 2022.

Letter from the Chair

25 August 2022

Dear Heartland shareholder,

On behalf of the directors of Heartland Group Holdings Limited (Heartland), I am pleased to offer you the

opportunity to acquire new Shares through this Share Purchase Plan (SPP), without incurring brokerage or

other transaction costs.

The SPP is part of Heartland’s equity raising initiative announced on 23 August 2022, details of which can be

found on the NZX website at www.nzx.com and the ASX website at www.asx.com.au. Heartland intends to

raise $200 million of new capital to repay an A$158 million acquisition finance facility outstanding in relation

to the recent acquisition of StockCo Australia and to provide additional growth capital for Heartland’s existing

businesses both in Australia and New Zealand. The first stage of the capital raising was a NZ$130 million

Placement to existing and new investors conducted on 23 August 2022. The second stage of the capital raising

is this SPP, which enables each Heartland shareholder in New Zealand to subscribe for up to NZ$50,000 /

A$45,000 of Shares at a discounted price. The price Heartland shareholders will pay for each new Share under

the SPP will not be more than the price paid by investors in the equity placement.

The SPP is available to all Heartland shareholders with an address recorded in Heartland’s share register that is

in New Zealand or Australia on equal terms. Heartland is raising $200 million in the offer and each eligible

shareholder (big or small) has the right to acquire the same dollar amount of new Shares under the SPP.

The SPP gives you the opportunity to invest up to NZ$50,000 / A$45,000 in new Heartland Shares. If we receive

applications for Shares in excess of $70 million, with the ability for us to accept oversubscriptions at our

discretion, your application will be scaled on a proportionate basis with regard to the size of your shareholding

on the record date and you will receive less than the amount you applied for.

The price per Share will be the lower of:

a 2.5% discount to the 5-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of Heartland shares traded on

the NZX up to and including the closing date of the SPP.

NZ$1.80 per Share (being the price paid by investors in the equity placement).

If you do not participate in the SPP, your shareholding in Heartland will be diluted. By way of example, a

Shareholder owning 5% of the issued Shares before the equity raising who does not participate in the equity

raising will own approximately 4.2% of the issued Shares after the SPP (assuming the SPP is fully subscribed but

no oversubscriptions are accepted, and Shares are issued under the SPP at NZ$1.80 per Share). The SPP is not

underwritten. The board of Heartland recommends this offer to you. Further details about the SPP are

included in this document.

After reading this document, the Board encourages you to seek financial, investment, or other professional

advice from a qualified professional advisor and that you take your time to consider this SPP. Additional

informational can be found at www.heartlandshareoffer.co.nz and in the investment presentation we released

to the NZX and ASX on 23 August 2022.

The SPP is scheduled to close at 7:00pm (NZST) / 5:00pm (AEST) on 5 September 2022. To apply for your new

Heartland Shares, you must complete your application online at www.heartlandshareoffer.co.nz.

Thank you for your support in advance.

Yours sincerely

Geoffrey Ricketts

Questions and answers

Defined words and expressions used in this

document are capitalised - see the glossary for their

definition. These questions and answers are a

summary only and you should refer to the Terms and

Conditions for further information.


1. What is the Share Purchase Plan?

The SPP allows Eligible Shareholders to purchase

Shares in Heartland without incurring brokerage or

other transaction costs. You are eligible to

participate in the SPP if you are a shareholder of

Heartland and:

a) you were recorded in Heartland’s share register

as a holder of Shares as at 7:00pm NZST /

5:00pm Sydney time on Monday 22 August

2022; and

b) your address recorded in Heartland’s share

register is in New Zealand or Australia; and

c) you do not hold the Shares on behalf of another

person who resides outside of New Zealand or

Australia.

In particular, Shareholders in the United States are

not eligible to participate in the SPP. Similarly,

Shareholders (including trustees, Custodians and

nominees) who hold Shares on behalf of persons in

the United States, or are acting for the account or

benefit of persons in the United States, are not

eligible to participate in the SPP on behalf of those

persons.

2. What is the price of the Shares and how many

can I purchase?

The Issue Price will be the lower of:

 NZ$1.80, being the price paid by investors in

Heartland’s recent Placement (representing a

discount of 12.8% to the closing price of

Heartland Shares on the NZX of NZ$2.0650 on 22

August 2022 (ex-dividend adjusted); and a 13.7%

discount to the five-day volume weighted

average price on the NZX of NZ$2.0851 (ex-

dividend adjusted)); and

 a 2.5% discount to the five day volume weighted

average price of Heartland shares traded on NZX

during the five NZX trading days up to, and

including, the Closing Date.

The Issue Price is a New Zealand dollar amount. The

market price of the Shares may change between the

Opening Date, the date you apply for Shares under

the SPP, and the Allotment Date. The risks associated

with this potential market fluctuation are described

in question 6 below.

You may apply for a maximum amount of NZ$50,000

/ A$45,000 of new Shares under the Offer, subject to

scaling.

If the exchange rate varies such that the dollar

amount you applied for exceeds the NZ$50,000

regulatory limit, Shares having a total issue price

equal to NZ$50,000 will be issued to you (subject to

scaling) and you will be refunded the excess cash

amount.

If you wish to participate in the SPP, you should

apply online at www.heartlandshareoffer.co.nz or as

otherwise directed by Heartland. If you are a

Custodian, you will also need to complete and lodge

a Custodian Certificate. To determine whether you

are a Custodian, and how to obtain a Custodian

Certificate, refer to clause 4 of the Terms and

Conditions.

Heartland is inviting applications for up to NZ$70

million of Shares, with the ability for Heartland to

accept oversubscriptions at its discretion.

Heartland reserves the right to, at its absolute

discretion, scale any application for Shares under the

SPP. Heartland may scale back all applications on a

proportionate basis having regard to the number of

Shares held by the Applicant (or, in the case of an

application made by a Custodian, the relevant

beneficial owner(s) named in the Custodian

Certificate submitted) on the Record Date, and

otherwise at its discretion. If your application is

scaled back by Heartland, your application monies

will be greater than the amount of new Shares you

will be allotted at the Issue Price and a refund will be

issued in accordance with clause 6 of the Terms and

Conditions.

Any fractional Shares allocated under the SPP will be

rounded down to the nearest whole number of

Shares and Heartland will retain any difference due

solely to rounding.

All Shares issued under the SPP will be ordinary

shares of Heartland. Shareholders who subscribe

under the SPP will be eligible to participate in any

future dividends to be declared by Heartland.


7

3. What rights will the Shares have?

Shares under the SPP will rank equally with existing

Shares quoted on the NZX and ASX, with the same

voting rights, dividend rights and other entitlements.

4. What if I own Shares through a trustee or

Custodian or own Shares in more than one

capacity?

If you own Shares through a trustee or Custodian

(and are otherwise eligible to participate in the SPP),

then subject to certain certification requirements

and other conditions, you may instruct the trustee or

Custodian to purchase Shares on your behalf, up to

the NZ$50,000 / A$45,000 limit. If you own Shares

through a trustee or Custodian and also own Shares

in your own name, then you may either purchase

Shares yourself or instruct your trustee or Custodian

to purchase Shares on your behalf. You may not do

both.

If you receive more than one copy of this document,

or if you hold Shares in more than one capacity (e.g.

because you are both a sole and joint holder of

Shares), the maximum amount you may apply to

invest under the SPP in all capacities, and in

aggregate, is NZ$50,000 / A$45,000. You may not

purchase some Shares on your own behalf and some

Shares as a joint holder. By applying to purchase

Shares under the SPP, you represent that you have

not exceeded the NZ$50,000 / A$45,000 limit.

If you are an Eligible Shareholder and hold Shares as

Custodian, you may apply for up to NZ$50,000 /

A$45,000 worth of new Shares for each beneficiary

for whom you, directly or indirectly, act as Custodian

provided that you complete, and submit, a certificate

(Custodian Certificate) certifying each of the matters

set out in clause 4.4 of the Terms and Conditions of

this SPP.

Each trustee and Custodian must not participate in

the SPP on behalf of, and must not distribute this SPP

Booklet or any other document relating to the SPP

to, any person in the United States or elsewhere

outside Australia and New Zealand.

5. Is this Offer transferable to another person?

No. This Offer is personal to you and non-

renounceable, so if you elect not to purchase any

Shares under the SPP you may not transfer your right

to purchase Shares under the SPP to anyone else.

6. What are the risks of investing in the SPP and

what if I choose not to participate in the SPP?

The market price for the Shares may change

between the Opening Date, the date you apply for

Shares under the SPP, and the Allotment Date.

Accordingly, the price paid under the SPP may be

higher or lower than the price at which Shares in

Heartland are trading on the NZX at the time the

Shares are issued to you under the SPP. The Share

price is quoted on the NZX website: www.nzx.com

and ASX website: www.asx.com.au.

Eligible Shareholders may choose to subscribe for up

to NZ$50,000 / A$45,000 of Shares pursuant to the

SPP, subject to any scaling. While Heartland has

attempted to make the Offer as fair as possible for

Eligible Shareholders by providing that any scaling

will have regard to individual shareholdings at the

Record Date, and otherwise at its discretion, the

Offer is not made in accordance with your

proportionate shareholding. Even if you participate

in the Offer, your proportionate shareholding in

Heartland may change. Large shareholders may not

be able to obtain sufficient Shares to maintain their

percentage shareholding, while smaller shareholders

may be able to increase their percentage

shareholding. If you do not subscribe for any Shares

under the SPP, and other shareholders do subscribe

for Shares, then your percentage shareholding in

Heartland will be reduced.

7. How do I apply for Shares under the SPP?

If you wish to participate in the SPP, you can do so

online at www.heartlandshareoffer.co.nz or as

otherwise directed by Heartland.

By applying to purchase Shares under the SPP, you

represent that you have not exceeded the NZ$50,000

/ A$45,000 limit.

If the exact amount of money is not tendered,

Heartland reserves the right not to accept all or part

of your payment. In those circumstances, Heartland

will refund all or part of your payment without

interest.

If an Online Application is rejected, all of the

amounts paid will be refunded to the relevant

Applicant. If applications are scaled back, the

Applicant will receive the number of Shares at the

Issue Price accepted by Heartland following scaling

and a refund of the balance of the relevant payment

amount. All refunds will be made without interest.

Any amount lesser than $5 due to scaling, and any

amount due solely to rounding, or rounding will be


8

retained by Heartland. Refunds will be issued within

five business days following the Allotment Date (see

clause 6 of the Terms and Conditions for more

information).

You will not be able to withdraw or revoke your

Online Application once you have made it.

8. How long is the SPP open and when will I receive

my Shares?

The SPP opens on Thursday 25 August 2022 and is

expected to close at 7:00pm NZST / 5:00pm Sydney

time on Monday 5 September 2022, unless

extended. If you want to participate, you should

ensure you apply online and make payment by

7:00pm NZST / 5:00pm Sydney time on Monday 5

September 2022.

You will receive Shares issued to you under the SPP

on the Allotment Date, which is currently expected

to be on or around Friday 9 September 2022.

Confirmation of the number of Shares issued to you

under the SPP will be sent on the Dispatch Date,

currently expected to be on or around Friday 9

September 2022.


9

Terms and Conditions

If you apply to participate in the SPP by completing the Online Application (and, if applicable, a Custodian

Certificate), you are accepting the risk that the market price of shares may change between the Opening Date,

the date you apply for Shares under the SPP, and the Allotment Date. This means that it is possible that up to or

after the Allotment Date, you may be able to buy shares on the NZX Main Board or the ASX at a lower price than

the Issue Price.

We encourage you to seek your own financial advice regarding your participation in the SPP.

Consistent with the representations, warranties and acknowledgements contained in these terms and

August 2022 (ex-dividend adjusted); and a 13.7% discount to the five-day volume weighted

average price on the NZX of NZ$2.0851 (ex-dividend adjusted)); and

(b) a 2.5% discount to the five day volume weighted average price of Heartland shares traded on

NZX during the five NZX trading days up to, and including, the Closing Date.

3.2. Eligible Shareholders may elect to purchase an amount of Shares up to a maximum amount of

NZ$50,000 / A$45,000, subject to scaling, by completing an Online Application. Any fractional Shares

allocated under the SPP will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.

3.3. The Issue Price is a New Zealand dollar amount. If you apply for an Australian dollar amount of

Shares, Heartland will convert the New Zealand dollar Issue Price to Australian dollars at the NZ$:A$

exchange rate published by the New Zealand Reserve Bank on its website at 7:00pm New Zealand

time on the Closing Date. The market price of the Shares may change between the Opening Date,

the date you apply for Shares under the SPP, and the Allotment Date.

3.4. If the exchange rate varies such that the dollar amount you applied for exceeds the NZ$15,000

regulatory limit, Shares having a total issue price equal to NZ$15,000 will be issued to you and you

will be refunded the excess cash amount.

3.5. Eligible Shareholders may only make a single application for Shares under the SPP. This applies to all

Eligible Shareholders, including those who receive more than one offer under the SPP (for example,

because they hold Shares in more than one capacity) and including whether the Eligible Shareholder

is applying through a Custodian or on his or her own behalf. Accordingly, if you own Shares through

a trustee or Custodian and also own Shares in your own name, then you may either purchase Shares

yourself or instruct your trustee or Custodian to purchase Shares on your behalf. You may not do

both.

3.6. Heartland is inviting applications for up to NZ$70 million of Shares, with discretion for Heartland to

accept oversubscriptions at its discretion. Heartland reserves the right to scale back applications

having regard to the number of Shares held by the Applicant (or, in the case of an application made

by a Custodian, the relevant beneficial owner(s) named in the Custodian Certificate submitted) on

the Record Date and otherwise at its discretion.

3.7. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Heartland, the Lead Manager and each of their respective

related bodies corporate and affiliates, and each of their respective directors, officers, partners,

employees, representatives and agents, disclaim all liability, including for negligence, for any failure


11

to obtain any particular exchange rate, or any movements in exchange rates, if exchanging the New

Zealand dollar Issue Price into Australian dollars.


4. Custodians

4.1. Under the SPP, a Custodian is any Eligible Shareholder having an address recorded in Heartland’s

provided that the Custodian only applies for no more Shares than collectively have an aggregate

application price of NZ$50,000 / A$45,000 for each beneficial owner for whom the Custodian acts as

a Custodian. Each beneficial owner may only direct the Custodian to apply on behalf of that

beneficial owner for a single Share parcel.

4.3. Custodians must confirm to Heartland that they are holding Shares as a Custodian for one or more

beneficial owners and certify the matters described in clause 4.4 below by providing a Custodian

directly) that are not Custodians; and/or

(ii) another Custodian (“Downstream Custodian”) that holds beneficial interests in Shares on

behalf of one or more other persons (who would be Eligible Shareholders if they held

Shares directly) to which those interests relate, at 7:00pm (NZST) / 5:00pm Sydney time

on Monday 22 August 2022,

each, a “Participating Beneficiary”, who have subsequently instructed the Custodian, and/or

the Downstream Custodian, to apply for Shares under the SPP on their behalf;

(e) that there are no Participating Beneficiaries in respect of which the total of the application

price for the following exceeds NZ$50,000 / A$45,000:

(i) the application price for new Shares applied for on their behalf under the SPP; and

(ii) the application price for any other Shares issued to the Custodian (as a result of an
