VARIATION TO MERGER RATIO AND SCHEME IMPLEMENTATION DEED


thl and Apollo Tourism & Leisure Ltd (ATL) have entered a Deed of Variation to effect the following changes

to the Scheme Implementation Deed dated 10 December 2021 relating to the scheme of arrangement (the

Scheme) for the merger of thl and ATL:


• A change in the merger ratio such that 1 new ordinary thl share will be issued for every 3.210987

ordinary ATL shares held by ATL shareholders (excluding

thl). The revised merger ratio will result in ATL

shareholders owning approximately 27.5% and

thl shareholders owning approximately 72.5% of the

merged entity;

1


• An extension to the final date for satisfaction or waiver (if capable of waiver) of all conditions precedent

to the Scheme to 9 December 2022; and

• The inclusion of the proposed divestment of certain ATL assets to Next Capital/Jucy Rentals as a

condition subsequent to the Scheme.

In commenting on the change to the merger ratio, Grant Webster, thl CEO, said “we collectively recognised

the increase in value in Apollo’s Canadian properties since the original negotiation alongside the benefits

the merged entity will receive from the proportionately larger Australian operations of Apollo. Australia

has recovered faster than anticipated from the COVID-19 pandemic and has a stronger outlook. All

shareholders of the merged entity will benefit from these improvements."


The extension of the final date for satisfaction of all conditions precedent reflects the current expectations

for the decision dates from the New Zealand Commerce Commission (

NZCC) and Australian Competition

and Consumer Commission (

ACCC), and the subsequent timing to hold a meeting of ATL shareholders to

vote on the Scheme.


The merger remains subject to the satisfaction of conditions including refinancing, clearance from the

NZCC and ACCC, approval from the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board and requisite approval

from ATL shareholders and the Supreme Court of Queensland. The NZCC is expected to announce a

decision on 23 September 2022 and the ACCC on 29 September 2022.



ENDS
