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).

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)

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.
