1.5 WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAYING YOU?
Napier Port is responsible for paying interest on the Bonds and for repayment of the Bonds on the Maturity Date.
The Bonds are guaranteed by the Guarantors under the Negative Pledge Deed. Pursuant to the terms of the
Supplemental Trust Deed, Napier Port and the Guarantors must comprise not less than 90% of the Total Tangible
Assets of the Napier Port Group and 90% of the EBITDA of the Napier Port Group. The Bonds are not guaranteed
by any members of the Napier Port Group who are not Guarantors under the Negative Pledge Deed.
At the Issue Date the sole Guarantor will be Port of Napier Limited. No other member of the Napier Port Group
will guarantee the Bonds as at the Issue Date.
More information about the Guarantee and the Guarantors can be found in section 5 of this PDS (Key features
of the Bonds).
1.6 HOW YOU CAN GET YOUR MONEY OUT EARLY
Neither you nor Napier Port are able to redeem the Bonds prior to the Maturity Date. However, Napier Port may
be required to repay the Bonds early if there is an Event of Default. See section 5 of this PDS (Key features of the
Bonds) for more information.
Napier Port intends to quote these Bonds on the NZX Debt Market. This means you may be able to sell them on the
NZX Debt Market before the end of their term if there are interested buyers. If you sell your Bonds, the price you get
will vary depending on factors such as the financial condition of the Napier Port Group and movements in the market
interest rates. You may receive less than the full amount that you paid for them.
1.7 HOW THE BONDS RANK FOR REPAYMENT
On a liquidation of Napier Port, each Bond will rank equally as an unsecured, unsubordinated obligation of Napier Port.
This means in a liquidation of Napier Port:
PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT • 1 SEPTEMBER 2022 / 2NAPIER PORT – TE HERENGA WAKA O AHURIRI
• you will only be repaid after all secured creditors (if any) and creditors preferred by law (e.g. employees
up to a specified amount each and Inland Revenue in respect of unpaid taxes);
• you will be repaid at the same time and to the same extent as all other unsecured and unsubordinated creditors
of Napier Port (including banks that lend money to Napier Port on an unsecured basis, hedge counterparties that
contract on an unsecured basis and all other unsecured trade and general creditors); and
• you will be paid ahead of Napier Port’s subordinated liabilities and claims of Napier Port’s shareholders.
Further information on the ranking of the Bonds in a liquidation can be found in section 5 of this PDS (Key features
of the Bonds).
1.8 NO SECURITY
The Bonds are not secured against any assets of Napier Port nor any other member of the Napier Port Group.
1.9 KEY RISKS AFFECTING THIS INVESTMENT
Investments in debt securities have risks. A key risk is that Napier Port does not meet its commitments to repay you
or pay you interest (credit risk). Section 6 of this PDS (Risks of investing) discusses the main factors that give rise
to the risk. You should consider if the credit risk of these debt securities is suitable for you.
The interest rate for these Bonds should also reflect the degree of credit risk. In general, higher returns are demanded
by investors from businesses with higher risk of defaulting on their commitments. You need to decide whether the Offer
is fair.
Napier Port considers that the most significant risk factors are:
• Significant asset damage and interruption risk: A major natural event, such as a tsunami or significant
earthquake, could destroy or damage Napier Port’s assets (including the Port), which could result in a major
interruption to Napier Port’s business. This is a specific risk to Napier Port because:
• Napier Port operates a physical (and geographically specific) port facility in Napier which is susceptible
to damage from natural events;
• Napier Port relies on the uninterrupted access to the Port and the continued operation of the Port in order
for ships to load and unload cargo; and
• It is unlikely that Napier Port’s insurance would cover Napier Port for all of the potential damage covered
by a major natural event.
• Forestry sector risk: Napier Port’s business is heavily dependent on the forestry sector, particularly logs, woodpulp
and timber. Any decrease in the supply or demand for New Zealand or Hawke’s Bay and surrounding areas’ forestry
products could have an adverse impact on Napier Port’s financial position and performance.
• Biosecurity risk: The products exported through Napier Port are mainly made up of primary produce, including
forestry products, pipfruit and meat. Any significant biosecurity event that affects such products could result in the
supply or demand for primary produce exported through the Port being materially reduced.
This summary does not cover all of the risks of investing in the Bonds. You should also read section section 5 of this
PDS (Key features of the Bonds) and section 6 of PDS (Risks of Investing).
1.10 NO CREDIT RATING
Napier Port’s creditworthiness has not been assessed by an approved rating agency. This means that Napier Port has not
received an independent opinion of its capability and willingness to repay its debts from an approved source.
1.11 WHERE YOU CAN FIND OTHER MARKET INFORMATION ABOUT NAPIER PORT
This is a short form disclosure that Napier Port is permitted to use because these Bonds rank in priority to Napier Port’s
existing quoted financial products. The existing quoted financial products are ordinary shares in Napier Port, which are
traded on the NZX Main Board. Napier Port is subject to a disclosure obligation that requires it to notify certain material
information to the NZX for the purpose of that information being made available to participants in the market. Napier
Port’s page on the NZX website, which includes information made available under the disclosure obligation referred
to above, can be found at www.nzx.com/companies/NPH.

LETTER FROM THE CHAIR
Tēnā koutou e ngā kaiwhakarato moni – greetings investors
On behalf of the Board, it is with great pleasure that I invite
new and existing investors to participate in an offer of unsecured,
unsubordinated fixed rate bonds (Bonds) to be issued by
Napier Port.
For nearly 150 years, our people and infrastructure have
connected Hawke’s Bay and its surrounding regions with
the world, helping to create a thriving regional economy.
This remains our key purpose today and we are committed
to working closely with our customers and the community
to ensure this is achieved.
Napier Port is New Zealand’s fourth largest port by container
volumes and provides a range of container and bulk cargo
services for importers and exporters alike. The Port also
serves as an important gateway to the Hawke’s Bay region
through its ability to accommodate cruise ships.
At the time Napier Port listed in 2019, we articulated our
commitment to continually invest in our infrastructure to help
underpin regional growth. The centrepiece of that investment
programme and an important use of IPO funds was the
development of our new wharf asset, Te Whiti (also known
as 6 Wharf). The objective of this investment was to reduce
on-Port congestion, increase shipping capacity and operating
efficiencies, and to provide an ability to handle larger vessels
visiting New Zealand and Hawke’s Bay and growth in cruise
ship demand.
With Te Whiti now operational (ahead of schedule),
it is an appropriate time to revisit our funding arrangements.
We believe that using the debt capital markets to increase
the diversity and term of our debt funding will be beneficial
to our business.
Napier Port is seeking to raise up to NZ$75 million (inclusive
of the Shareholder Priority Offer and with an ability to accept
oversubscriptions of up to an additional NZ$25 million at
Napier Port’s discretion) through the issuance of the Bonds.
The net proceeds will be used to repay a portion of existing
bank debt and for general corporate purposes.
In recognition of the support from our shareholders we are
pleased to offer Eligible Shareholders access to the Bonds
via a shareholder application process. Further details
regarding the Shareholder Priority Offer are set out in
section 12 (How to apply) of this PDS.
This PDS contains important information about Napier Port
and the Offer. We encourage you to read it carefully and
consider, in particular, section 6 (Risks of investing) before
making an investment decision.
I encourage you to seek financial, investment or other advice
from a qualified professional adviser as you take time to
consider this Offer.
On behalf of the Napier Port Board, we welcome your
participation in this Offer and your continued support
of Napier Port.

5.2 THE BOND SUPERVISOR
The Bond Supervisor is appointed to act as supervisor and trustee for the Bondholders on the terms contained in the
Trust Deed. Copies of the Trust Deed, the Supplemental Trust Deed and the Negative Pledge Deed are included on the
Disclose Register.
You can only enforce your rights under the Bonds, and under the Guarantee, and other arrangements described below,
through the Bond Supervisor. However, you can enforce your rights under the Bonds only (but not the Guarantee,
or other arrangements) against Napier Port directly if the Bond Supervisor is obliged to enforce, but has failed to do
so within a reasonable period.
5.3 RANKING
The Bonds constitute unsecured, unsubordinated debt obligations of Napier Port. On a liquidation of Napier Port
amounts owing to Bondholders rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of Napier Port.
Amounts owing under the Negative Pledge Deed constitute unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of each
Guarantor and on a liquidation of a Guarantor, amounts owing to Bondholders under the Negative Pledge Deed rank
equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of the relevant Guarantor.
The ranking of the Bonds on a liquidation of Napier Port is summarised in the diagram below.
The actual amount of liabilities and equity of Napier Port at the point of its liquidation will be different to the indicative
amount set out in the diagram on the following page.

5.4 GUARANTEES
The Bonds will be guaranteed by the Guarantors under the Negative Pledge Deed.
Under the Negative Pledge Deed, each Guarantor will jointly and severally guarantee to the Bond Supervisor the payment
of all amounts owed to Bondholders in respect of the Bonds.
There are no limits on the amount for which any Guarantor may be liable under the Guarantee and there are no conditions
to the Guarantee. The obligations of the Guarantors under the Negative Pledge Deed will be unsecured.
Each Guarantor is a member of the Napier Port Group. However, not all members of the Napier Port Group are required
to be a Guarantor. Under the Supplemental Trust Deed, Napier Port must ensure that at all times the Guaranteeing Group
(being Napier Port and the Guarantors) will be not less than 90% of the Total Tangible Assets of the Napier Port Group
and 90% of the EBITDA of the Napier Port Group.
For full details of these provisions, see clause 5.1 of the Supplemental Trust Deed.
As at the Issue Date for the Bonds, the sole Guarantor will be Port of Napier Limited. Port of Napier Limited is a wholly
owned subsidiary of Napier Port.

Amounts shown in this table are indicative based on the financial position of Napier Port and its subsidiaries as at 30 June 2022, adjusted for the issue of Bonds.
They are subject to rounding adjustments.
2
Liabilities that rank in priority to the Bonds as at 30 June 2022 include:
• employee entitlements for unpaid salaries and wages, holiday pay and bonuses and pay-as-you-earn (PAYE) of NZ$6.1 million, and
• amounts owing to Inland Revenue for unpaid goods and services tax of NZ$0.2 million.
There are typically other preferred or secured claims which arise when a company is liquidated which are not possible to foresee and cannot therefore be quantified.
3
Amounts shown in the diagram assumes NZ$75 million of Bonds are issued under the Offer. The final size of the Offer will not materially impact this amount, as the
proceeds of the Offer are expected to be applied towards repaying a portion of bank debt which ranks equally with the Bonds.
4
Deferred tax liabilities of indicatively NZ$21.0 million as at 30 June 2022 are not included in the above table as this amount would not crystallise and be payable
on Napier Port’s liquidation.

The total amount of Napier Port’s equity referred to in this diagram includes an amount in relation to Napier Port’s existing quoted equity securities.
PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT • 1 SEPTEMBER 2022 / 12NAPIER PORT TE HERENGA WAKA O AHURIRI
The Negative Pledge Deed contains provisions that allow Napier Port to have a Guarantor released from the Guarantee
under the Negative Pledge Deed if:
• two directors certify in writing that all guarantee coverage requirements under any facility that has the benefit of the
Negative Pledge Deed (which will include these Bonds and the Supplemental Trust Deed) will be complied with
immediately after the release of that Guarantor; or
• all beneficiaries of the Negative Pledge Deed (which will include the Bond Supervisor on behalf of Bondholders)
have consented in writing to that release.
In addition, for any Guarantor to be released:
• there must be no indebtedness owed by the Guarantor to any beneficiary of the Negative Pledge Deed (including
the Bondholders) other than indebtedness solely as a guarantor or the relevant beneficiary has consented to the
release; and
• there must be no subsisting breach of the Negative Pledge Deed that remains unremedied or will occur as a result
of the release.
5.5 FINANCIAL COVENANT
Napier Port gives the following financial covenant to the Bond Supervisor:
• the ratio of Total Debt of the Napier Port Group to EBITDA of the Napier Port Group shall not exceed 4.50 times
of each Test Date.
For the purpose of calculating this financial covenant, the following definitions apply:
• Total Debt is calculated as the aggregate of all principal amounts outstanding under a loan or facility agreement,
the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding notes (which will include the Principal Amount owing under the
Bonds) and indebtedness arising from the termination or close-out amount of any derivative transactions.
• EBITDA is the amount of net profit for the Napier Port Group for the previous 12 month period before taking into
account finance costs, income tax, depreciation, amortisation, exceptional items and impairment charges.
• Test Dates are 31 March and 30 September in each calendar year, with the first Test Date being Friday,
30 September 2022.
A breach of this financial covenant occurs if the covenant is not complied with on two consecutive Test Dates and that
breach is not remedied within 20 Business Days of Napier Port becoming aware of it.
The description set out above is only a summary of the financial covenant and the terms used in calculating the ratio
described in that covenant. The full details of this covenant are set out in clause 5.2 of the Supplemental Trust Deed.
The restriction on the Guaranteeing Group creating security described below under the heading “Restrictions on granting
security” could also indirectly affect the ability of that group to borrow money.
5.6 RESTRICTIONS ON CREATING FURTHER LIABILITIES
The Napier Port Group could, at any time after the Issue Date, without the consent of Bondholders or the Bond
Supervisor borrow money or otherwise create further liabilities that rank equally with or in priority to the Bonds
on a liquidation of Napier Port, provided that it complies with the restrictions described below. These further liabilities
could, for example, be a new series of bonds issued under the Trust Deed (including under a further supplemental trust
deed), or a new borrowing facility with a bank.
Napier Port gives the financial covenant to the Bond Supervisor set out above which will restrict the ability of the
Guaranteeing Group to borrow.
5.7 RESTRICTIONS ON GRANTING SECURITY
Napier Port has agreed with the beneficiaries of the Negative Pledge Deed (including, while any Bonds under
the Supplemental Trust Deed remain outstanding, the Bond Supervisor) that none of its assets will be secured.
Notwithstanding this restriction, Napier Port or another Guarantor is permitted to create security or permit security
to exist over its assets:
NAPIER PORT fi TE HERENGA WAKA O AHURIRIPRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT • 1 SEPTEMBER 2022 / 13
• if the aggregate value of the assets secured does not exceed 10.0% of the Total Tangible Assets of the Napier Port
Group; or
• if beneficiaries of the Negative Pledge Deed (which will include the Bond Supervisor on behalf of Bondholders) agree
in writing to amend the terms of the Negative Pledge Deed consenting to, or to permit that security; or
• in certain other limited circumstances set out in the Negative Pledge Deed, (for example: if the security arises
by operation of law, rights of netting, set-off, certain retention of title arrangements, a security interest arising from
a disposal, or that relates to an encumbrance over certain land owned by Port of Napier Limited that only secures
NZ$100 per annum).
This is not a complete list of the circumstances where Napier Port or another Guarantor is permitted to create security.
For full details of these provisions see clause 2 and the definition of “Permitted Security Interest” in the Negative
Pledge Deed.
5.8 OTHER RESTRICTIONS ON BORROWING
Certain terms contained in Napier Port’s borrowing facilities also indirectly limit its ability to borrow. Napier Port’s current
bank documents contain the following financial covenants:
• the ratio of Total Debt (as defined in those bank documents) to EBITDA (as defined in those bank documents)
shall not exceed 4.50 times;
• the ratio of EBITDA (as defined in those bank documents) to Interest Expense (as defined in those bank documents)
must not be less than 3.0 times; and
• the ratio of Total Equity (as defined in those bank documents) to Total Assets (as defined in those bank documents)
must not be less than 50%.
Neither Bondholders nor the Bond Supervisor have the benefit of covenants (including, without limitation, the above
covenants) given in favour of Napier Port’s bank lenders and they may therefore be amended or waived by the
relevant lender. Napier Port does not have to consult or notify Bondholders or the Bond Supervisor of any actual
or potential amendments or waivers under such documents. If a member of the Napier Port Group failed to comply
with these provisions then the relevant lender may decide to accelerate repayment which may (subject to meeting certain
thresholds) cause an Event of Default.
5.9 EVENTS OF DEFAULT
The Events of Default are contained in the Trust Deed and the Supplemental Trust Deed. They include:
• a failure by Napier Port to make a payment due in respect of the Bonds, subject to certain grace periods;
• a breach by Napier Port or a Guarantor of an obligation under the Trust Deed, or any material obligation under the
Negative Pledge Deed, subject to certain grace periods;
• a representation by Napier Port or a Guarantor under the Trust Deed, is incorrect in any material respect when made,
subject to certain grace periods;
• any indebtedness (other than for any bonds) in total of more than NZ$5 million (or its equivalent in any other
currency) of Napier Port or any Guarantor is not paid when due or within any applicable grace period in any document
relating to such indebtedness, or becomes due and payable prior to its stated maturity by reason of an event of
default, cancellation event, prepayment event or similar event (whatever called);
• insolvency events that affect Napier Port or a Guarantor; and
• breach of the financial covenant on two consecutive Test Dates by Napier Port and such default is not remedied
(if capable of remedy) within 20 Business Days of Napier Port becoming aware of that breach.
This summary does not cover all of the Events of Default. For full details of the Events of Default see Schedule 1,
condition 17 of the Trust Deed and section 19 of the Schedule to the Supplemental Trust Deed.
At any time while an Event of Default continues the Bond Supervisor may at its discretion and shall if directed to do so by
an Extraordinary Resolution of Bondholders of any series of bonds (including the Bonds), by written notice to Napier Port,
declare the outstanding Principal Amount of the Bonds of that series together with accrued interest to be immediately
due and payable. Accrued interest is the interest earned on your Bonds since the last payment date and which has not
been paid to you.

5.10 OTHER RELEVANT INFORMATION ABOUT THE TRUST DEED
The Trust Deed also contains a number of standard terms, including relating to:
• the role of the Bond Supervisor, and the powers and duties of the Bond Supervisor. The Bond Supervisor will not
be responsible for monitoring the application by Napier Port of the money paid by the subscribers of the Bonds;
• the process for replacement of the Bond Supervisor;
• the right of the Bond Supervisor to be indemnified;
• the payment of fees, expenses and other amounts owing to the Bond Supervisor (including that amounts owing
to the Bond Supervisor are, on a default, paid from the proceeds of enforcement before payments to Bondholders);
• the holding of meetings of Bondholders;
• the process for Bondholders to sell or transfer their Bonds (including that such sales and transfers are subject
to the terms of the Trust Deed and applicable laws, in particular that transfers that would result in the transferee
or transferor holding Bonds with a total Principal Amount of less than NZ$5,000, or in an amount that is not a multiple
of NZ$1,000, will not be allowed); and
• the process for amending the Trust Deed or the Supplemental Trust Deed. To summarise, the Trust Deed
or the Supplemental Trust Deed can be amended:
• with the consent of the Bond Supervisor; or
• under section 109 of the FMCA; or
• under section 22(7) or 37(6) of the Financial Markets Supervisors Act 2011 or any other enactment.
The Bond Supervisor must only consent to an amendment if:
• the amendment is approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Bondholders (or each class of Bondholders that
is or may be adversely affected by the amendment); or
• the Bond Supervisor is satisfied that the amendment does not have a material adverse effect on the Bondholders
(and the Bond Supervisor certifies to that effect and certifies, or obtains a certificate from a lawyer, that the Trust
Deed or the Supplemental Trust Deed, as amended or replaced, will comply with sections 104 to 106 of the FMCA
on the basis set out in the certificate).
You should read the Trust Deed and the Supplemental Trust Deed for further information.

6. RISKS OF INVESTING
6.1 INTRODUCTION
This section 6 describes the following potential key risk factors:
(a) general risks associated with an investment in the Bonds; and
(b) specific risks relating to Napier Port’s creditworthiness.
The selection of risks outlined in this section are based on an assessment of a combination of the probability of a risk
occurring and the potential impact of that risk if it did occur. This assessment is based on the knowledge of the directors
of Napier Port as at the date of this PDS. There is no guarantee or assurance that the importance of different risks will not
change, alter in their significance or that other risks will not emerge over time.
Where practicable, Napier Port will seek to implement risk mitigation strategies to minimise the exposure to some of the risks
outlined below, although there can be no assurance that such arrangements will fully protect Napier Port from such risks.
You should carefully consider these risks (together with the other information in this PDS and available on the Disclose
Register) before deciding to invest in the Bonds. This summary does not cover all of the risks of investing in the Bonds.
The statement of risks in this section does not take account of the personal circumstances, financial position or
investment requirements of any particular person. It is important, therefore, that before making any investment decision
you give consideration to the suitability of an investment in the Bonds in light of your individual risk profile for investments,
investment objectives and personal circumstances (including financial and taxation issues). You can seek the advice
of a financial adviser to help you make an investment decision.
6.2 GENERAL RISKS
An investment in the Bonds is subject to the following general risks.
(a) Solvency: If Napier Port becomes insolvent, there may be a shortfall of funds to pay all amounts ranking ahead of and
equally with the Bonds (including to pay the Bonds themselves). There is also a risk that any Guarantor is unable to meet
its obligations under the Guarantee in the Negative Pledge Deed when required to do so. If this occurs, this would result
in you not receiving a full return of the Principal Amount and/or any interest due and unpaid at that time.
(b) Market price: The price at which Bondholders are able to sell their Bonds before the Maturity Date may be less than
the amount they paid for the Bonds. The price of the Bonds may be affected by a number of factors, both dependent
on, or independent of, Napier Port’s creditworthiness. Independent factors may include the time remaining to the
Maturity Date, the outstanding aggregate Principal Amount of the Bonds, the level of demand for the Bonds offered
for sale in the secondary market from time to time, any legal restrictions limiting demand for Bonds, the availability
of comparable securities, the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates and market conditions generally.
(c) Liquidity: Bondholders may be unable to sell their Bonds at all due to lack of demand or because the Bonds cease
to be listed on the NZX Debt Market. There can be no assurance that a secondary market for the Bonds will develop
or of the liquidity of such a market. In the absence of a liquid secondary market for the Bonds, Bondholders may not
be able to sell their Bonds readily or at prices that will enable them to realise a yield comparable to that of similar
instruments, if any, within a developed secondary market. Even following the development of a secondary market,
and depending on market conditions and other factors, Bondholders seeking to sell relatively small or relatively
large amounts of Bonds may not be able to do so at prices comparable to those that may be available to other
Bondholders.

6.3 SPECIFIC RISKS RELATING TO NAPIER PORT’S CREDITWORTHINESS
Napier Port considers that the circumstances set out below are those which could affect, either individually or in
combination, the future financial position and financial performance of Napier Port and its subsidiaries, and therefore
significantly increase the risk that Napier Port may default on its obligations under the Bonds. These circumstances, either
individually or in combination, may affect Napier Port’s ability to pay interest on, or repay, the Bonds.
(a) Significant asset damage and interruption risk
Damage and interruptions
Napier Port’s business could be impacted by a major natural event, such as a tsunami or a significant earthquake that
results in damage or destruction of Napier Port’s assets (including the Port) or major interruptions to its business.
This risk is increased due to the Port’s assets being predominantly concentrated at the main Port site in Ahuriri.
Napier Port’s assets that are built on reclaimed land are at additional risk due to liquefaction. The Port is also located
in an area at risk of earthquakes and tsunami.
A natural event that did not result in material damage to assets could still result in the shipping channel or the dredged
inner harbour becoming unusable until cleared through dredging. The shipping channel or inner harbour could also be
blocked or obstructed through, for example, a ship grounding. It could take a number of weeks, or months, to re-open
shipping access depending on the extent of the blockage and the availability of resources from third parties. During that
period, Napier Port would be restricted in its ability to operate its business and would have no recourse to business
interruption insurance if only the channel or other dredged areas, rather than any insured assets, had been affected.
In addition, weather events or patterns may adversely impact primary sector production, reducing Napier Port’s export
volumes. Losses not covered by insurance could have a material adverse effect on Napier Port’s financial condition,
results of operations and prospects.
Underinsurance
Under Napier Port’s existing insurance policy it is liable in all cases for the first NZ$25 million of loss suffered in
respect of any claims for ‘Natural Catastrophe’ events. The terms of this insurance limit the maximum claim for
‘Material Damage’ events, together with any associated ‘Business Interruption’ coverage to NZ$500 million in
aggregate. Napier Port shares the benefit, cost and risk of the first NZ$250 million of coverage under its ‘Material
Damage’ and ‘Business Interruption’ insurances with Port Nelson and South Port. In the scenario that an event
causes ‘Material Damage’ or any ‘Business Interruption’ at Napier Port as well as either or both of these co-insured
ports, Napier Port will share in this aggregate NZ$250 million layer of insurance with Port of Nelson and/or South
Port first, meaning that all of Napier Port’s loss may not be recoverable. Napier Port does not share the layer of
insurance between NZ$250 million and NZ$500 million with any other person.
The declared value for Napier Port’s assets (including Te Whiti/6 Wharf) has been assessed at an estimated value
of NZ$1,317 million. Insurance coverage does not provide complete protection against all potential hazards incidental
to Napier Port’s operations due to uninsurable risks (for example, damage to port land, damage to dredged shipping
channels, political risk and regulatory risk), policy exclusions, excesses and other limitations. Napier Port may also
decide not to insure certain assets, or against certain risks.
In the case of a natural event in which Napier Port’s insurance coverage (after any deductible) is inadequate, Napier
Port could lose the capital invested in, and anticipated future revenues relating to, any assets that are damaged
or destroyed. Napier Port may also have insufficient proceeds of insurance to make good the loss and could be
significantly underinsured in a total loss event. If Napier Port was unable to fund the remediation costs of its assets,
Napier Port’s viability would be significantly impacted.
Availability of Insurance
Insurance policies are renewed and reviewed annually and new terms, limits and premiums can apply. In recent
years, following a series of global and national natural events (including the Christchurch and Kaikoura earthquakes),
obtaining sufficient levels of coverage has become harder. As a result, Napier Port has experienced an increase in
premiums that has added material cost to the business, and an inability to increase levels of cover in some situations.
When insurance policies are renewed Napier Port may, again, face higher than expected costs of insurance, and it
may not be possible or economic to effect insurance at current levels or insurance capacity may not be available at
any price. If Napier Port is unable or unwilling to obtain or maintain insurance coverage at current levels, this could
have a material impact on Napier Port’s financial position and performance in the event of a natural disaster or other
significant event.
NAPIER PORT fi TE HERENGA WAKA O AHURIRIPRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT • 1 SEPTEMBER 2022 / 17
The financial impact from a natural event will depend on the nature and scale of the event. Napier Port believes
that the likelihood of a total loss event is low and there is limited ability to design or engineer its assets to account
for such events.
(b) Forestry sector risk
Napier Port is heavily dependent on the forestry sector, particularly logs, woodpulp and timber. This means that market
conditions for these products could have a material impact on Napier Port’s financial position and performance.
For example, this could occur because an export market (such as China) reduces its orders or reliance on New Zealand
sourced wood products thereby reducing the demand for forestry products exported through Napier Port.
These events could include:
• a reduction in export log prices, such as has been observed historically;
• forestry industry participants deciding not to harvest plantations, due to a fall in prices or other reasons;
• international demand for logs falling, such that there are no, or reduced, markets for New Zealand and
Hawke’s Bay and surrounding areas’ logs and wood products;
• forestry industry participants choosing to use other New Zealand ports to ship their logs and wood products;
• a change in the phytosanitary regulatory requirements for exporters or an increase in the cost of fumigation
or alternative treatments; and
• major weather events, fire, disease or pest issues affecting log supply.
It is not possible to determine the likelihood of a reduction in supply or demand for New Zealand and Hawke’s Bay
and surrounding areas’ logs and wood products. However, a material or prolonged downturn in supply or demand
could have a material adverse impact on Napier Port’s financial performance. Albeit, Napier Port expects that,
were a downturn in demand in the current key markets to occur, log owners would seek other markets to send cargo
to, which could limit the impact of such a downturn on its financial performance.
(c) Biosecurity risk
A significant biosecurity event could affect one or more primary industries in Hawke’s Bay who export their produce
through Napier Port, including forestry, pipfruit or meat producers. Napier Port relies on export volume from these
primary industry producers because its business is primarily focused on moving through the Port significant volumes
of export cargo.
This is a particular risk to Napier Port because its business is primarily export focused, with exports accounting for
81% of all cargo by weight transiting the Port in the 9 months to 30 June 2022
6
. In the 9 months to 30 June 2022
7
,
the export product mix included logs, woodpulp and timber (79% of export tonnes), apples and pears (5% of export
tonnes) and meat (4% of export tonnes). A significant biosecurity event could result in the supply or demand for
primary products that are exported through Napier Port being materially reduced, which could have a material impact
on our financial position and performance.
The occurrence of a biosecurity event could also increase the production costs for the growers and producers
associated with ongoing quarantine and monitoring processes, which may further impact the demand for these products
that are exported through Napier Port.
Napier Port works with the Ministry for Primary Industries to implement biosecurity controls and inspections related
to imported containers, packaging and cargo that aim to reduce the likelihood of disease or pests entering the
Hawke’s Bay region via the Port.
To date, there have not been any significant biosecurity events that Napier Port believes have materially affected
export volumes, although other areas of New Zealand have been affected by such events (such as the Queensland
fruit fly or the PSA bacterial disease that affects kiwifruit plants).
6
In FY 2021 exports accounted for 81% of all cargo by weight.
7
In FY 2021 the export product mix was: logs, woodpulp and timber 78% of export tonnes, apples and pears 6% of export tonnes,
and meat 5% of export tonnes.
PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT • 1 SEPTEMBER 2022 / 18NAPIER PORT – TE HERENGA WAKA O AHURIRI
(d) Access to, or demand, from China and other key Asian markets
Exports to Asian markets made up 91% of Napier Port’s total exported cargo volume by weight in the 9 months
to 30 June 2022
8
(70% to China). Further, 92% of the log exports by weight from the Port were sent to China
in the 9 months to 30 June 2022
9
.
Given Napier Port’s high dependency on China and other key Asian markets for exports, the ongoing risks associated
with Covid-19 (or any other pandemic) and restrictions imposed by governments could significantly impact the
demand for cargo emanating from Napier Port and/or the volume of shipping through the Port.
If access to one or more key markets was to close, or another event occurred that adversely affected the
key markets for the cargo shipped from Napier Port, it is expected it would be possible to locate other markets over
time. However, there could be a significant delay before similar export levels to alternative destinations
are reached.
(e) Cargo customer concentration risk
Napier Port is subject to the potential loss of, or reduction in demand from, key cargo owner customers, which make
up a significant proportion of its revenue.
A significant proportion of Napier Port’s revenue is received from a small number of cargo owner customers, with
Napier Port’s largest two such customers estimated to account for approximately 16% of its total revenue in the
9 months to 30 June 2022
10
(including revenue estimated to have been derived from shipping lines in connection
with those cargo owner customers). If these customers were to reduce operations, or to close or move their cargo
volumes elsewhere, then this would have a significant impact on Napier Port’s financial position.
Napier Port seeks to mitigate this risk by negotiating long term contracts.
(f) Pandemic risk
The Covid-19 responses put in place by governments to combat the pandemic have materially disrupted the global and
domestic supply chain, including affecting the supply of labour for both Napier Port and its cargo customers, which has
reduced the frequency, regularity, and availability of cargo volume and/or capacity of cargo vessels to the Port. These
effects have reduced the cargo flows through the Port. Should further responses (or another pandemic) negatively impact
these matters then this may significantly impact Napier Port’s financial position.
(g) Council’s influence as majority shareholder
Hawke’s Bay Regional Council (through Hawke’s Bay Regional Investment Company Limited (HBRIC)) has material
influence over Napier Port because HBRIC is the majority shareholder in Napier Port. HBRIC has additional
rights under Napier Port’s constitution which protect HBRIC’s shareholding from being diluted to a less than 51%
shareholding.
If Napier Port requires shareholder approval from HBRIC to raise new equity or to borrow money
11
and HBRIC did
not agree to Napier Port issuing new equity or undertaking that borrowing, this could adversely impact Napier Port,
particularly if the additional equity or borrowings were required to refinance the Bonds. It is considered that HBRIC
would act appropriately to maintain its investment in Napier Port.
Napier Port manages this risk by continuing to review and manage its capital requirements.
8
In FY 2021 Asian markets made up 89% of Napier Port’s total exported cargo volume with exports to China being 71%.
9
In FY 2021 89% of log exports by weight from Napier Port were to China.
10
In FY 2021 Napier Port’s two largest customers comprised approximately 16% of its total revenue.
11
A borrowing that is a major transaction (i.e. exceeds 50% of Napier Port’s assets) requires approval by passing a special resolution supported
by 75% or more of shareholders. To pass such a special resolution would require HBRIC to vote in favour of that resolution.

7. TA X
7.1 RESIDENT WITHHOLDING TAX
If you are tax resident in New Zealand for the purposes of the Income Tax Act or you are not tax resident in New Zealand
but you hold your Bonds for the purposes of a business carried on through a fixed establishment in New Zealand,
resident withholding tax (RWT) will be deducted from payments of interest to you, unless you notify the Securities
Registrar that you have RWT-exempt status (as that term is defined in the Income Tax Act) and that status remains valid
on the record date for the relevant payment date.
7.2 APPROVED ISSUER LEVY
If you are not tax resident of New Zealand for the purposes of the Income Tax Act, you do not hold your Bonds for the
purposes of a business carried on through a fixed establishment in New Zealand and you receive payments of interest
on the Bonds subject to the non-resident withholding tax (NRWT) rules, an amount equal to any approved issuer levy
(AIL) payable will be deducted from payments of interest to you in lieu of deducting NRWT (except where you elect
otherwise and Napier Port agrees, or it is not possible under any law, in which case NRWT will be deducted).
If the AIL regime applies, Napier Port will apply the zero rate of AIL if practicable and permitted by law, and otherwise pay
AIL at the applicable rate. If the AIL regime changes, Napier Port reserves the right not to pay AIL and to instead deduct
NRWT. See the Trust Deed for further details.
7.3 INDEMNITY
If, in respect of any of your Bonds, Napier Port becomes liable to make any payment of, or on account of, tax payable
by you, then you will be required to indemnify Napier Port in respect of such liability. Any amounts paid by Napier Port
in relation to any such liability may be recovered from you by withholding the amount from further payments to you
in respect of Bonds. See the Trust Deed for further details.
7.4 INFORMATION
You will be required to provide tax residence, tax identification, withholding rate election and other tax information to
Napier Port or its representatives upon request. Failure to do so may result in withholding tax outcomes that differ from those
outlined in 7.1 and 7.2, including the imposition of a punitive rate of withholding tax being applied to interest paid to you.
7.5 GENERALLY
There may be other tax consequences from acquiring or disposing of the Bonds. If you have any queries relating to the
tax consequences of the investment, you should obtain professional advice on those consequences.
Taxes may affect your returns. The information set out above does not constitute tax advice to any Bondholder, is general
