Conduct Act 2013 (FMCA).

The Offer contained in this Terms Sheet is an offer of Bonds that

Record Date
The Record Date for Interest Payment Dates is 5:00pm on the tenth calendar day before the relevant

Ranking

The Bonds are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Air New Zealand. This means that in

a liquidation of Air New Zealand the rights and claims of a Bondholder:

(a) will rank after the claims of:

(i) secured creditors of Air New Zealand (if any); and

(ii) creditors of Air New Zealand who are preferred by law (e.g. the Inland Revenue Department in

respect of unpaid tax);

(b) will rank equally with the claims of all other unsecured, unsubordinated creditors of

Air New Zealand; and

(c) will rank in priority to the claims of:

(i) subordinated creditors of Air New Zealand (if any) (being creditors who have agreed to accept

a lower priority in respect of their claims in a liquidation of Air New Zealand); and

(ii) shareholders.

Security over aircraft

and Air New Zealand

guarantees

Air New Zealand Aircraft Holdings Limited, a subsidiary of Air New Zealand, is the registered owner

or lessee of the majority of the aircraft operated by Air New Zealand. Air New Zealand guarantees

the obligations of Air New Zealand Aircraft Holdings Limited in relation to loans and finance and

operating lease arrangements relating to such aircraft. Any claims against Air New Zealand under these

guarantees will rank equally with the Bonds in the event of a liquidation of Air New Zealand.

As at 30 June 2022, aircraft and aircraft related assets of Air New Zealand and its subsidiaries having

a book value of NZ$2,655 million were pledged as security for aircraft-related borrowing and aircraft

finance lease obligations having a value of NZ$2,054 million as at 30 June 2022.

Early repayment

Bondholders have no rights to require Air New Zealand to redeem the Bonds prior to the Maturity Date

except through the Supervisor in the case of an Event of Default (as set out in the Trust Deed). Air New

Zealand does not have the right to redeem the Bonds early.

In the case of an Event of Default which is continuing unremedied, the Supervisor may in its discretion,

and shall if directed to do so by an Extraordinary Resolution of Bondholders, declare by notice in writing

to Air New Zealand that all or part of the Outstanding Money is immediately due and payable, in which

case interest will be payable at the Interest Rate from (and including) the most recent Interest Payment

Date up to (but excluding) the date of repayment.

Financial and other

covenants

Air New Zealand has not provided financial covenants to any bank or financial institution or under the

Trust Deed.

There are no restrictions under the Trust Deed on Air New Zealand disposing of its assets (whether to

its subsidiaries or affiliates or any third party).

No security

The Trust Deed does not create any security over the assets of Air New Zealand or any of its

subsidiaries. In addition, the Trust Deed does not restrict Air New Zealand or any of its subsidiaries

from granting any security over its assets.

Further indebtedness

Air New Zealand may, from time to time, and without the consent of Bondholders, create and issue

further bonds or other securities. Air New Zealand also has the right to continue to incur any further

indebtedness, without the consent of Bondholders. Any further debt or other securities may rank

equally with, behind, or in priority to, the Bonds and may otherwise be issued on such terms as Air New

Zealand may determine.

Minimum application

amount and

denominations

Minimum application of NZ$5,000 with multiples of NZ$1,000 thereafter.

Transfer restrictions

Bondholders may only transfer Bonds in minimum Principal Amounts of NZ$1,000 or such lesser

amount as Air New Zealand may from time to time permit and otherwise in accordance with the Bond

Trust Documents and applicable securities laws and regulations. Following a transfer, a transferor

who continues to hold Bonds, and the transferee, must hold Bonds with an aggregate Principal

Amount of at least NZ$5,000 (or NZ$1,000 in the case of amounts held by NZX registered brokers

and registered banks).

not be offered or sold, in any country outside New Zealand except to the extent permitted below.

Australia

This Terms Sheet and the Offer of Bonds are only made available

in Australia to persons to whom an offer of securities can be made

without disclosure in accordance with applicable exemptions in

sections 708(8) (sophisticated investors) or 708(11) (professional

“disclosure document” under Australian law. This Terms Sheet has

not been and will not be lodged or registered with the Australian

Securities & Investments Commission.

Prospective investors should not construe anything in this Terms

Sheet as legal, business or tax advice nor as financial product advice

for the purposes of Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act. Investors

in Australia should be aware that the offer of Bonds for resale in

Australia within 12 months of their issue may, under section 707(3)

of the Corporations Act, require disclosure to investors under Part

AIR NEW ZEALAND RETAIL BOND OFFER
11

Air New Zealand has continued to see strong forward sales over the first three months of the financial

year, particularly for travel through to January 2023 and continues to operate approximately 70 percent

of FY19 capacity.

On the basis that this forward sales strength continues over the coming quarter, with similar capacity

and assuming an average jet fuel price of approximately US$130/bbl, the airline currently expects

earnings before other significant items and taxation for the first half of the 2023 financial year to be in

the range of $200 million to $275 million.

The airline notes that fuel prices remain highly volatile and that this is one of many factors that have the

potential to slow our recovery and significantly impact earnings. Additionally, demand in the second half

of the financial year remains highly uncertain.

On this basis and taking into account global recessionary risks and other macroeconomic factors

including inflationary pressures on costs, the airline is not providing full year guidance at this time. The

airline strongly cautions against extrapolating first half FY23 earnings guidance to the full year given the

many uncertainties in the trading environment.

Air New Zealand has provided 1H FY23 outlook
