SKY NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 20225
Resolution 5 –

Capital Return

Background

On 25 August 2022, the Company announced its intention to

undertake a capital return to shareholders, on a pro rata basis, of

approximately NZ$70 million. The amount to be paid out under the

proposed capital return will be funded by cash reserves.

The Board has determined that this return of capital should be

effected by way of a Court approved arrangement under Part 15 of

the Companies Act (Scheme). The terms of the Scheme are set out

in the Scheme of Arrangement Document included in this notice of

meeting. The Board considers the proposed Scheme to be fair to all

shareholders as it achieves a return of capital on a pro rata basis,

with the result that the transaction does not alter the shareholders’

relative voting and distribution rights.

The Scheme involves the Company’s shareholders having one share

cancelled for every six shares held, and receiving a cash sum of

NZ$2.40 for each share cancelled (with Australian shareholders

being paid the Australian dollar equivalent as explained below). If

the number of shares a shareholder owns is not divisible by six, then

the number will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number

(with 0.5 rounded up).

The Company has set a cancellation price of NZ$2.40 per share

cancelled after taking into account the Company’s share price

following announcement of the capital return on 25 August 2022.

In order to return approximately NZ$70 million of capital to

shareholders, applying the cancellation price of NZ$2.40 results in

one share for every six shares held by shareholders being cancelled

(subject to rounding).

On 31 August 2022, the Company applied to the High Court of

New Zealand for an order directing the Company to put the Scheme

to shareholders. The Court made initial orders on 22 September

2022 which require (amongst other things) the Scheme to be

approved by special resolution of shareholders (that is, a resolution

passed by a 75% majority of the votes of all shareholders entitled to

vote and voting at the meeting), and an IRD ruling confirming that

the cash sum paid to shareholders under the Scheme is not in lieu

of the payment of a dividend to be obtained. The Company will also

be seeking a ruling from the Australian Taxation Office in relation

to the tax effect of the capital return on Australian tax resident

shareholders for Australian tax purposes. However, this is not a

condition of the Scheme.

If the resolution is passed and the IRD ruling is obtained, the

Company will seek final orders from the High Court sanctioning

the return of capital. The final orders that will be sought by the

Company sanctioning the Scheme are set out in the copy of the

Company’s application to the Court (dated 31 August 2022), which

is available on the Company’s website at www.sky.co.nz/investor-

centre/investor-information.

If shareholders do not approve the Scheme or if the IRD ruling is

not obtained, the Scheme will not proceed and the Company’s

application to the High Court will be discontinued. The Company

may then consider alternative arrangements for a return of capital

to shareholders, which it would notify to shareholders.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in

favour of the Scheme (Resolution 5).

Rationale for the Capital Return

As at 30 June 2022 the Company held approximately NZ$139

million of cash. This balance arose from both cash generated

by the business and the sale of its Mt Wellington properties,

which completed in March 2022. In addition, the Company has

access to an undrawn banking facility of NZ$150 million.

Against this backdrop, and as previously signaled to the

market, the Board undertook a detailed review of the

Company’s capital management strategy, taking into

consideration likely capital needs and opportunities for

investment, as well as future performance projections.

Through this process the Board established a capital allocation

framework that included establishing a sustainable dividend

policy, opportunities to re-invest in the business to support future

growth and value creation and identifying any excess capital

above these requirements. As signaled in the Company’s full year

results, current year profits have been separately distributed

by way of a final dividend, with a capital return being the

preferred method to distribute excess capital to shareholders.

In determining the preferred form of capital return, the Company

sought advice from its external legal advisers, financial advisers, and

tax advisers, taking into account sizing, the nature of the Company’s

shareholder base, and other relevant considerations. In addition,

the Company received feedback from a number of shareholders

(both retail and institutional), which was also carefully considered.

All capital return methods were considered, including the payment

of a special dividend, both on-market and off-market share buyback

transactions, and the proposed Scheme, as well as combinations

of these methods. After careful consideration by the Board, the

preferred method adopted was the Scheme.

In reviewing the options for the return of capital, the Company’s

objectives included:

(a) certainty that the return of capital would proceed with a

low level of execution risk;

(b) ensuring that the return of capital would be made in a

timely manner, so that shareholders receive cash in the

near term;

(c) ensuring that the payment made to shareholders

is appropriately treated as a return of capital for

New Zealand tax purposes (see further information

under the heading “Taxation – New Zealand” below). The

Company will also be seeking a ruling from the Australian

Taxation Office in relation to the tax effect of the

capital return for Australian tax purposes on Australian

tax resident shareholders (see further information

under the heading “Taxation – Australia” below); and

(d) adopting a method that ensured all shareholders are

treated on the same basis and that the return of capital

would not materially alter any shareholder’s proportionate

voting or distribution rights.

SKY NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 20226
The Scheme and its effect

Subject to approval by shareholders, receipt of the IRD ruling (see

“Taxation – New Zealand” below) and receipt of final orders from

the High Court sanctioning the return of capital, the Scheme will

result in:

(a) the cancellation, in the hands of the shareholder, of one in

every six shares held by each shareholder in the Company

(together with all rights attaching to those shares) on the

Record Date (as defined below) and will not involve the

Company purchasing the shares. Fractions of a share will

be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number (with

0.5 rounded up); and

(b) the payment to each shareholder of NZ$2.40 for each

share cancelled. Shareholders with an address on the

register in Australia at 7:00pm (New Zealand time) on

the Record Date for determining the shareholders to

participate in the Scheme will be paid the NZ$2.40 per

cancelled share converted into Australian dollars at the

exchange rate organised by the Company’s share registrar

on or about that time, as approved by the Company.

Shareholders with an address on the register outside

New Zealand and Australia will receive the capital return

in New Zealand dollars. The Company will return to

shareholders, on a pro rata basis, approximately NZ$70

million of capital. On the Record Date, there are expected

to be 174,688,323 shares on issue. Based on this number,

29,114,720 ordinary shares will be cancelled (subject to

rounding). This will leave the total number of ordinary

shares on issue at approximately 145,573,603.

Subject to the approval of shareholders and receipt of the IRD ruling

(see “Taxation – New Zealand” below), the final orders from the High

Court sanctioning the Scheme are expected to be made on or about

10 November 2022.

The indicative timetable for the proposed Scheme is set out in the

table below. Further information on the timetable will be announced

at appropriate times.

*The dates above are indicative only. If the final court orders have

not been made by 10 November 2022, the Record Date will be five

business days after the date on which the final orders from the High

Court sanctioning the Scheme are made. Payment will be made to

shareholders within ten business days after the Record Date.

Directors of the Company and associated persons of Directors

who legally and/or beneficially own shares in the Company will

participate in the return of capital in exactly the same way as all

other ordinary shareholders of the Company. Directors and/or their

associated persons are entitled to vote on Resolution 5 to approve

the capital return.

Payment of funds under the Scheme

The share register will close at 7:00pm (New Zealand time) on 21

November 2022, or the date five business days after the date on

which the final orders from the High Court sanctioning the Scheme

are made, whichever is the latest (Record Date).

This will be for the purpose of determining the number of shares to be

cancelled and the amount to be returned to those shareholders whose

names appear in the share register at that time. The cancellation is

expected to be effected during the course of a short trading halt, the

details of which will be advised through NZX/ASX in due course.

Payment to shareholders will be made by direct credit in the case of

those shareholders who have previously provided bank account details

to the Company or the share registrar. Direct credits will be made

within ten business days after the Record Date. Shareholders will be

issued with a new shareholding statement showing the new number

of shares held following the cancellation of shares.

For those shareholders that have not previously provided their

bank account details to the Company or the share registrar, the

share registrar will attempt to make contact to obtain them by the

Record Date. Payment will then be made within ten business days

of valid details having been provided (without interest) if they are

not provided by the Record Date, with the funds being dealt with

as unclaimed distributions in the meantime in accordance with the

Company’s constitution (see clause 4.3).

Shareholders with an address on the register in Australia at 7:00pm

(New Zealand time) on the Record Date will be paid NZ$2.40 per

cancelled share converted into Australian dollars at the exchange rate

organised by the Company’s share registrar on or about that time, as

approved by the Company.

Taxation – New Zealand

The following is provided as general guidance as to the tax effect of

the Scheme for New Zealand tax resident shareholders. Shareholders

should obtain independent taxation advice on the effect of the

Scheme based on their individual circumstances.

The Scheme is conditional on the Company receiving a binding ruling

from the Commissioner of Inland Revenue confirming that, for the

purposes of section CD 22 of the Income Tax Act 2007 (NZ), no

part of the amount that will be paid (approximately $70 million) to

shareholders on the share cancellation is in lieu of the payment of a

dividend. Therefore, even if the shareholders approve the Scheme, it

will not proceed unless this condition is satisfied.

Resolution 5 –

Capital Return continued

SKY NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 20227
Accordingly, on this basis and provided certain other requirements

in the Income Tax Act 2007 (NZ) are satisfied, the amount paid

to shareholders will be treated as a return of capital and not as a

dividend for New Zealand income tax purposes.

This means the payment will generally not be taxable for

New Zealand shareholders unless:

(a) the shareholder is a share dealer;

(b) the shares were acquired for the dominant purpose of

disposal; or

(c) the amount received by a shareholder is derived from a

profit-making undertaking or scheme.

Taxation – Australia

The following is provided as general guidance as to the Australian

tax implications for Australian tax resident shareholders (Australian

Shareholders). The tax consequences for Australian Shareholders

will depend on the specific facts or circumstances that apply to the

particular Australian Shareholder. Australian Shareholders should

obtain independent tax advice on the effect of the Scheme based on

their individual circumstances.

The Company will be applying to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO)

for a Class Ruling on behalf of Australian Shareholders to confirm

whether any part of the payment received by Australian Shareholders

under the Scheme will be treated as a dividend for Australian tax

purposes and that the payment will be treated as capital proceeds

received by Australian Shareholders for the purposes of calculating any

capital gain or loss on the cancellation of the shares. The description

below is based on a Class Ruling being issued by the ATO confirming

that no part of the payment received by Australian Shareholders under

the Scheme will be treated as a dividend for Australian tax purposes

and that the payment will be treated as capital proceeds received by

Australian Shareholders for the purposes of calculating any capital

gain or loss on the cancellation of the shares.

Australian Shareholders cannot rely on this guidance unless a Class

Ruling is issued by the ATO that is in accordance with the above. If it is

issued, the Company will notify Australian Shareholders as soon as is

practicable after the Class Ruling is available by announcement on NZX/

ASX and a copy of the Class Ruling will be published on the Company’s

website. If the Class Ruling is not issued by the ATO then the tax

consequences for Australian Shareholders may be different from the

description below and the Company will advise Australian Shareholders

accordingly. Regardless of whether the Class Ruling is issued, the

Company will proceed with the proposed Scheme (subject to shareholder

approval, final Court approval and the IRD ruling being obtained).

Under the Scheme, the shares held by an Australian Shareholder will

be cancelled and will not involve the Company purchasing any of the

shares. The cancellation of the shares will constitute a capital gains tax

(CGT) event (CGT event C2). The CGT event will happen no later than

at the time the shares are cancelled.

An Australian Shareholder will make a capital gain from the CGT

event to the extent that the capital proceeds received in respect of the

cancellation of their shares (the payment they receive or are entitled to

receive) are more than the cost base of the shares (which will generally

include the amount paid to acquire the shares and certain incidental

costs associated with acquiring the shares). An Australian Shareholder

will make a capital loss to the extent that the capital proceeds received

in respect of the cancellation of the shares are less than the reduced cost

base of the shares (generally determined in the same way as cost base).

Any capital gain or loss arising from the cancellation of the shares is

included in the calculation of the Australian Shareholder’s net capital

gain for the income year in which the CGT event occurs. Broadly, an

Australian Shareholder’s net capital gain for an income year is the total

of all the capital gains or capital losses made during the income year

less any available net capital losses made in previous income years.

To the extent that the Scheme results in an Australian Shareholder

making a capital gain, they may be entitled to reduce the gain under

the CGT discount rules (depending on the circumstances of the

Australian Shareholder). Under the CGT discount rules, an eligible

Australian Shareholder is generally able to reduce the capital gain

(after first applying any current year or prior year capital losses) by

50% where they are an individual or trust and by 33.33% where they

are a complying superannuation fund, provided that they have held the

shares for at least 12 months before the CGT event. The CGT discount

is not available to Australian Shareholders that are companies.

If an Australian Shareholder makes a capital loss, this can be used

to offset other capital gains from the same income year or may be

carried forward to offset capital gains incurred in future income

years, subject to applicable loss recoupment rules.

This section and any Class Ruling is only relevant for Australian

Shareholders who hold their shares in the Company on capital

account and does not apply to Australian Shareholders who:

(a) hold their shares as trading stock, as revenue assets or

pursuant to Australia’s employee share scheme rules in

Division 83A of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Cth);

(b) hold their shares as assets used in carrying on a business or

as part of a profit making undertaking or scheme;

(c) are Australian tax residents but who hold their shares as

part of an enterprise carried on, at or through a permanent

establishment in a foreign country;

(d) are subject to special rules, such as financial institutions,

insurance companies, partnerships, tax exempt

organisations, trusts (except where expressly stated),

superannuation funds (except where expressly stated) or

temporary residents of Australia;

(e) are subject to the taxation of financial arrangements rules in

Australia in relation to gains and losses on their shares; or

(f) are subject to the Investment Manager Regime under

Subdivision 842-I of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997

(Cth) in relation to their shares.

Key risks

The Board considers the Scheme to be low risk, given it involves the

return of capital to shareholders.

There is a risk that if additional capital were needed to be raised in

the medium term for some reason, the costs of such raising could

have been avoided had the Scheme not been implemented. For

example, in the event that a major acquisition were to be considered

by the Company this may require equity funding. The Board

consider this risk is low as there are no imminent opportunities

that the Board is aware of that would suggest that maintaining

a large surplus of cash is appropriate. The Scheme is sized so that

the Company retains the ability to reinvest for future growth and

maintain a degree of financial flexibility to absorb unexpected

changes in trading performance in the short term.

Further Information

The Company has provided general guidance as to the tax implications

in relation to the Scheme for New Zealand and Australian tax resident

shareholders as outlined above. Shareholders who are tax resident in

other jurisdictions should obtain independent taxation advice on the

effect of the Scheme based on their individual circumstances.

Shareholders who have any questions about the effect of the

Scheme on their investment should consult their financial advisers.
