WHAT IS THIS ?

This document is a Listing Profile to support

a Reverse Listing of WasteCo. If the Reverse

Listing completes, you will retain your

Shares. Shares give you an ownership stake

in the ownership of the Company, which

on completion of the Reverse Listing will

effectively become an ownership interest in the

WasteCo Group.

You may receive a future return if the Company

pays dividends or if your Shares increase in

value and you are able to sell them at a higher

price than you paid for them.

If the Company runs into financial difficulties

and is wound up, as a Shareholder you will be

paid only after all creditors have been paid.

You may lose some or all of your investment.

ABOUT WASTECO GROUP

HOW WASTECO WAS VALUED

The Company negotiated the purchase price for 100% of the shares in WasteCo on a commercial

arms-length basis with the Vendors.

1. KEY INFORMATION SUMMARY

Z
2

ASTEC

The $25.2 million purchase price for 100% of

the shares in WasteCo was agreed based on the

Company’s board’s evaluation of the historical

revenues and EBITDA produced by the WasteCo

Group, the WasteCo Group’s potential to

generate revenue in the future, gross margins,

brand strength and future growth potential,

together with the face value of the $4 million

of mandatory convertible notes issued by

WasteCo recently – presenting an aggregate

acquisition price of $29.2 million.

More detail on the valuation of the WasteCo

Group is contained in section 4 (The WasteCo

Group and what it does), on page 7 of this

Profile.

HOW YOU CAN GET YOUR MONEY OUT

Shares are quoted on the NZX Main Board. This

means you may be able to sell them on the NZX

Main Board if there are interested buyers. You

may get less than you invested. The price will

depend on the demand for Shares.

KEY DRIVERS OF RETURN

The WasteCo Group has established key

partnerships with both commercial and local

body organisations as well as thousands of

private individuals, and the diversity in its

offerings ensure highs and lows are smoothed

across the different sectors it operates in.

Waste and waste diversion are core

components of the WasteCo business and

continue to be a driver for innovation in the

industry. The recent opening of WasteCo’s

large (3,600m

2

) sorting facility in Christchurch

has incurred-setup costs, as anticipated and

budgeted for, which has impacted the financial

results for the WasteCo Group. The facility is

well ahead of target to reach breakeven.

Sweeping and industrial services are offered

across both local body and commercial

platforms with both divisions offering services

that stand out in terms of delivery, quality,

safety and innovation.

The recent addition of medical and quarantine

waste treatment and disposal facilities in

WasteCo’s main Christchurch location has been

welcomed by the industry that utilises these

types of facilities. WasteCo is only the second

operator in both the South Island, and New

Zealand, to offer such treatment and disposal

options.

Further expansion on treatment, remediation

and disposal of other types of industrial waste

are an open door offering for WasteCo, with very

few players in this market currently. The barriers

to entry are such that it takes a considerable

amount of time to generate a “waste stream”

to enable productive and efficient utilisation of

these types of facilities. WasteCo is well placed

with the “waste streams” it has nurtured and

grown over the past 9 years to launch in this

market.

Revenues generated from “business as usual”

activities

The most significant opportunity immediately

available to the WasteCo Group is the continued

provision of WasteCo Group’s services to

customers throughout the South Island of New

Zealand, recognising the size of the waste, refuse

and industrial services market in New Zealand.

In addition, the Vendors consider that the

growing global trend for corporate and

retail consumers to focus on recycling and

sustainability presents significant opportunities

for WasteCo to launch into complementary

vertical markets.

The New Zealand Market

The New Zealand waste market has traditionally

been dominated by two large, internationally

owned players. The WasteCo Group has an

opportunity, as a relative newcomer to the

sector, with its unique brand identity, to grow

vertical markets and to increase its existing

market share. The Vendors consider that this

can be achieved through an extensive brand and

marketing campaign that promotes the brand

ethos and the focus on the provision of a quality

timely service, as well as continuing to establish

a premium brand across the waste, refuse and

industrial services sectors.

Innovation & Vertical Expansion

WasteCo has further opportunities to expand

its brand presence in the waste, refuse and

industrial services space through providing new

additional services and through innovation.

As further set out in Section 4 (The WasteCo

Group and what it does), WasteCo currently has

three (3) principal business divisions:

Z
WasteCo Group

3

• Environmental services – waste

• Environmental services – sweeping

• Industrial services

Although not an immediate focus, the Vendors’

view is that WasteCo Group will be in a position

to innovate by leveraging the WasteCo platform

to both expand the existing business divisions,

and to enter into new complementary verticals

outside of its existing waste, refuse and

industrial services sectors.

Geographical Expansion

Currently, the WasteCo Group’s activities are

domiciled in the South Island – primarily in

Christchurch, Ashburton, Timaru, Oamaru,

Dunedin and Balclutha.

The Vendors believe there is opportunity to

launch the WasteCo Group’s services into

other regions within the South Island and also

potentially into the North Island market, which

represents a materially larger market than

the South Island, given the population and

industrial density in the North Island.

Efficiencies of Scale and improved Margin

with increased size

The Vendors’ view is that the business should

be able to increase its direct gross margins

as the volume of business generated by the

business operations increases.

Acquisition Opportunities

Since commencement of its business, the

WasteCo Group has acquired eight (8) new

businesses, with the acquisition size of the

businesses ranging from between $200,000 in

value up to $3.75 million.

The Vendors believe that there are many

complementary business acquisition

opportunities in the market and consider

that they are proficient in identifying suitable

acquisition targets, negotiating a “fair value”

acquisition, and integrating those new

businesses into WasteCo’s existing business

operations.

In addition, the Vendors believe that the ability

of the Company to offer shares in a listed

company as partial consideration to fund the

purchase price for future acquisitions (by way

of the Post Completion Shares being approved

by shareholders, as further detailed in the

Notice of Special Meeting) will also be attractive

to many vendors of suitable businesses who

still wish to retain some exposure to the waste

and refuse sector following the sale of their

business.

KEY RISKS AFFECTING THIS

INVESTMENT

Investments in shares are risky. You should

consider all of the information in this Profile,

and previously disclosed information about the

Reverse Listing and the WasteCo Group, when

deciding if the degree of uncertainty about the

Company’s future performance and returns

is suitable for you. The price of Shares should

reflect the potential returns and the particular

risks of Shares.

The Vendors consider the following risks to be

the most significant risk factors that could affect

the WasteCo Group, and by extension the value

of the Shares:

• Dependence on key personnel

• Loss of significant contracts

• Competition

• Management of growth opportunities

(including entry into new markets)

• Regulatory risk

• Environmental

• Health and safety

This summary does not cover all of the risks

which might affect the WasteCo Group, and

by extension an investment in Shares. You

should read section 7 of this Profile (Risks to the

WasteCo Group’s business and plans) and other

places in this Profile that describe risk factors

(for example, risks arising for investors from

the nature of the product), and the strategies

the Company has to mitigate those risks where

practicable.

WHERE YOU CAN FIND THE WASTECO

GROUP’S FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The financial position and performance of the

WasteCo Group are essential to an assessment

of this investment. You should also read section

2. LETTER FROM CHAIRMAN OF GOODWOOD CAPITAL LIMITED

18 November 2022

Dear Goodwood Capital shareholders,

The Board of Goodwood Capital Limited (Company or GWC) is seeking shareholder approval for the

implementation of a significant operational and capital restructure which has been negotiated and

endorsed by the Board of the Company relating to the conditional acquisition of WasteCo Holdings

NZ Limited (WasteCo) which was announced to the market on 26 April 2022, subject to shareholder

approval (Restructure).

Principally the Restructure comprises the acquisition of WasteCo. WasteCo, through its wholly owned

subsidiaries, owns and operates a range of business activities associated with waste and refuse

collection, recycling and disposal, street cleaning, and other industrial services.

In the view of the GWC Board, the waste, refuse and industrial services sector is a particularly

attractive commercial vertical to be investing in. The sector is robust, growing and innovative, and I

believe represents a fantastic investment opportunity for the Company.

The WasteCo business operations are both profitable and are experiencing year on year growth.

WasteCo is led by a team of passionate and experienced executives committed to the ongoing growth

and success of the business.

The Restructure effectively values the equity of the WasteCo business at $25.2 million, plus an

additional $4 million to redeem the Mandatory Convertible Notes recently issued by WasteCo. The

total $29.2 million acquisition price will be satisfied by the issue of 504 million shares in the Company

to the Vendors for the $25.2 million purchase price, and the issue of an additional 80 million shares in

the Company to redeem the Mandatory Convertible Notes, with all such new shares having an issue

price of $0.05 per share.

The issue price of $0.05 per share effectively values the intangible value of the Company as a “listed

shell” at approximately $668,000. In the Board’s opinion, this represents a fair valuation of the

Company.

As at 31 March 2022, the WasteCo Group had consolidated total assets of $34.45m, $32.16m total

liabilities, $16.71m borrowings, and total equity $2.28m. The Restructure will significantly strengthen

the Company’s financial position. Following the Restructure, the Company will have equity of

approximately $33.4m and cash of approximately $4m.

Board recommendation

Having regard to the business opportunity afforded to the Company by the acquisition of the

WasteCo Group, the exciting sector in which the WasteCo Group operates, the historical financial

performance and growth that the WasteCo Group is experiencing and the prospects for the WasteCo

Group in the future, the Board considers that the acquisition of the WasteCo Group represents an

exciting opportunity for the Company and its shareholders.

The Board recommends that all shareholders read this Profile together with the Independent

Advisor’s Report and Appraisal Report that accompany the Notice of Meeting.

The Board of Goodwood Capital Limited is very pleased to present the WasteCo acquisition to

shareholders for their consideration. We encourage shareholders to approve all of the resolutions at

the Special Meeting.

Yours sincerely

Sean Joyce

Chair

3. BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

Goodwood Capital Limited (Company) is

listed on the NZX Main Board. The Company

is currently a shell company, with no trading

activity or assets apart from a nominal amount

of cash.

On the date of completion of the Reverse

Listing, the Company will have debt not

exceeding $656,000, of which circa $550,000

is currently owed to Mounterowen Limited

(Mounterowen Indebtedness), a company

associated with Sean Joyce, a director of

the Company. Otherwise, the Company’s

liabilities are minor trade creditors relating to

maintaining its status as an NZX listed company.

In 2020, Mounterowen negotiated to acquire

all third party debt owed by the Company (then

Snakk Media Limited) whilst the Company

was in liquidation, as a pre-condition to

organising for the Company to be removed

from liquidation in October 2020. Since that

time, Mounterowen has continued to fund

the ongoing costs of the Company, i.e. NZX

listing fees, share registry fees, audit fees,

accounting fees, directors’ fees and other costs,

the intention being that the Company would

ultimately find a suitable business to merge

with, or acquire.

As previously advised to its shareholders

(Shareholders), the Company has been actively

seeking to find a business to invest in, or

to undertake a reverse listing of a business

seeking to list on the NZX Main Board.

On 26 April 2022, the Company announced

to NZX that it had reached a conditional

agreement to acquire 100% of WasteCo

Holdings NZ Limited (WasteCo) via a proposed

‘reverse listing’ (Reverse Listing). WasteCo

owns 100% of a number of operating subsidiary

companies that together undertake a range

of business activities associated with waste

and refuse collection, recycling and disposal,

street cleaning, and other industrial services

(together, the WasteCo Group) throughout the

South Island. As such, the WasteCo Group will

also be acquired by the Company if the Reverse

Listing goes ahead.

If the Reverse Listing completes, the Company

will be renamed WasteCo Group Limited, and

its NZX ticker code will be changed to ‘WCO’.

This document (Profile) has generally been

prepared as if the Reverse Listing had already

completed. When reading this document,

references to the Company should be read as if

it had acquired the WasteCo Group, unless it is

stated otherwise or the context requires.

This Profile should be read together with the

information contained in the Notice of Meeting

which it forms a part of.

OVERVIEW

In a ‘reverse listing’, a listed company (in this

case, the Company) acquires a private company

(in this case, WasteCo, and by extension the

WasteCo Group), and pays for the acquisition

by issuing shares in itself to the vendors of the

private company. The effect is that the private

company becomes a subsidiary of the listed

company and ‘reverse lists’, and the vendors of

the private company become shareholders of

the listed company.

If the Reverse Listing completes:

• The existing shareholders of WasteCo

(Vendors) will be issued 504,000,000

fully paid ordinary shares of the Company

(Consideration Shares) at an issue price of

NZ$0.05 per share as consideration for all

of the shares in WasteCo (and indirectly,

the WasteCo Group). The valuation for the

Consideration Shares is therefore $25.2

million. In addition, the Company will issue

80 million fully paid ordinary shares of the

Company to the holders of $4 million of

Mandatory Convertible Notes previously

issued by WasteCo. The Company therefore

proposes to acquire 100% of the shares in

WasteCo for an aggregate purchase price of

$29.2 million.

• $531,803 of the Mounterowen

Indebtedness shall be capitalised into

ordinary shares in the Company by issuing

10,636,073 fully paid ordinary shares in the

Company to Mounterowen (Capitalised

Debt Shares) at an issue price of NZ$0.05

per share. The balance of the indebtedness

of the Company to Mounterowen and

Z
6

ASTEC

others will be paid shortly after the date of

the completion of the transaction.

• Following completion of the transaction,

GWC will effectively acquire all the assets

and assume all the liabilities of WasteCo.

As at 31 March 2022, the WasteCo

Group had consolidated total assets of

$34.45m, $32.16m total liabilities, $16.71m

borrowings, and total equity $2.28m.

• The Company will additionally issue a

further 80 million new fully paid ordinary

shares in the Company (Placement Shares)

to certain wholesale investors (as that term

is defined in the Financial Markets Conduct

Act 2013) at an issue price of $0.05 per

share to raise $4 million of additional

new capital for the Company post

completion of the Reverse Listing. Due

to the regulatory framework associated

with reverse listing transactions, GWC

is restricted from raising new capital via

an offer to all existing shareholders of

GWC, or other members of the public, in

conjunction with the completion of the

transaction.

The Vendors will own approximately 74%

of the Company assuming that the Reverse

Listing completes, the Capitalised Debt

Shares are issued and the Placement Shares

are issued in full.

Description of business activities by division

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES - WASTE

Waste collection

WasteCo provides waste collection services

from Balclutha to Christchurch and everywhere

in between via front load bins, hook bins,

skip bins and wheelie bins for both council,

commercial and private customers.

It utilises a modern fleet of collection vehicles

that are all driven by highly skilled and industry

experienced drivers, many of them with over

30 years’ experience in the waste industry.

Waste sorting and diversion

WasteCo operates a 3,600 square metre

sorting facility in Christchurch and is currently

achieving global diversion in excess of 50% of

waste away from the landfill.

It was a dream of the WasteCo founders when

the business started collecting waste that the

company should be instrumental in diverting

that waste from landfill, and WasteCo has

spent the last 4 ½ years working towards

fulfilling this dream. The WasteCo business

has plenty of scope for further innovations

and opportunity to ensure it can replicate its

success in Christchurch at other centres where

it collects waste, including Dunedin where a

“Sort Centre” has been established to further

this diversion goal.

ENVIRONMENTAL SERVICES –

SWEEPING

Sweeping Services

WasteCo provides road sweeping, footpath

sweeping, dust free sweeping and scrubbing

services for both Councils and commercial

customers. It operates a large sweeping

operation in the South Island, currently

covering sweeping for councils from Mackenzie

District Council up through to Timaru District

Council and into Ashburton District Council,

then through to Selwyn District Council and in 3

locations for the Christchurch City Council, their

Northern & Central Contracts as well as Banks

Peninsula. WasteCo also provides sweeping,

and related services, for many commercial

customers and contracting firms covering

sweeping services as diverse as shopping

centre carparks to chip collection from roading

and re-sealing projects.

Z
10

ASTEC

Training services

WasteCo provides both internal and external

training courses, to its own staff and to third

party organisations. This training has initially

been largely focussed on traffic management

however it is intended that these training

services will expand to include training courses

for forklift and wheels, tracked and rollers

(WTR) endorsements, confined space entry and

working at heights.

INDUSTRIAL SERVICES

High pressure water blasting, urgent spill

response services, vacuum loading, septic

tank cleaning & portaloos

WasteCo provides a range of industrial services,

including high pressure water blasting, urgent

spill response services, vacuum loading, septic

tank cleaning and portaloo hire which due to

their nature are offered on a 24/7/365 basis.

WasteCo is one of the largest providers of

industrial services in the South Island with

customers that range from small dairy sheds

to large dairy product manufacturers and

everything in between.

Capacity in the water blasting arena means

that the WasteCo business is capable of small

blasting jobs through to hydro demolition jobs,

using gear with up to 20,000 psi of pressure.

Vacuum loading work is a key skill possessed

by the WasteCo Team, with councils and

commercial customers all over the South Island

utilising their services for everything from

sump cleaning to bitumen tank clean ups.

Port services

WasteCo provides maintenance, cleaning and

auxiliary services to several ports and shipping

companies in the South Island, providing skilled

men, women and machinery to assist with

cleaning in some of the harshest environments

possible; assisting fishing vessels, bulk

transport ships and cement carrying ships to

come in dirty and leave in a pristine condition.

Medical and Quarantine Waste

WasteCo has recently implemented a new

facility for the collection, treatment and

disposal of medical and quarantine waste in

Christchurch.

WasteCo is only the second provider of these

types of services in both the South Island and

New Zealand as a whole, which will ensure a

credible alternative is in the market to provide

these services to companies as small as a tattoo

parlour and as large as a District Health Board.

Sustainability / Green / Environmental Focus

Since day one, WasteCo has been focussed on

the steps it can take to have a positive effect

on the environment. The WasteCo vision,

before it had even collected 1kg of waste, was

to divert waste from landfill, something that

is now being achieved in spades, with over

8,000 tonnes currently diverted from landfill

each year through WasteCo’s waste sorting

operations.

Waste doesn’t just come from a building site or

someone’s garage, it also comes from cleaning

and is a significant by-product from WasteCo’s

industrial services offering, which gives

WasteCo a range of opportunities to remediate

and treat waste to ensure that the business is

reducing all waste to its most minimalist form

before it is finally deemed non-divertible. A

working example of this is WasteCo’s treatment

of used oil and diesel, retrieved from vessel

(ship) cleaning and also from service stations

and garages. WasteCo takes this oil and diesel

waste and processes it in such a way that any

water is removed (reused) and contaminants

are filtered out so that the end product can be

used as a boiler fuel or, in some cases, sold to

end producers of bio diesel.

As the WasteCo business expands into other

areas and diversifies into larger contracts,

it has been able to grow its vehicle and

machinery fleet using the most modern Euro

rated engines available for its larger trucks

and take advantage of the benefits available

from utilising electric vehicle technology as it

has emerged. These benefits are expected to

speed up and intensify in the coming years with

the emergence of hydrogen powered vehicles,

in addition to increased capabilities of electric

vehicles.

The WasteCo leadership recognised at a very

early stage that being certified and audited

against various industry standards was an

opportunity to provide added comfort to its

customers and partners, and more importantly,

to demonstrate that the business both walked

the walk and talked the talk. To this end,

WasteCo has established a specific compliance

officer role, with a specialised employee

(Dave Oberholzer) having key responsibilities

for health, safety, environment, quality and

compliance across the business. This role is

all about people and the environment and

Dave has been instrumental in putting in place

processes and procedures needed to ensure

that WasteCo could meet the high standards of

a Toitū Enviromark audit, which has seen them

come out at the very top of their class with a

Diamond accreditation. WasteCo is currently

the only waste / industrial company in New

Zealand to have achieved this level of Toitū

environmental certification.

WasteCo has more recently recognised a key

need in its sustainability drive with the addition

of a role very specific to sustainability and

education. This role is all about education;

education of its (WasteCo’s) people, its

customers and its events organisers, to

facilitate actions that they can take in

conjunction with the business to make a

difference to the world we live in.

WasteCo is at the forefront of events based

waste management in Canterbury and through

this avenue it is able to be part of initiatives

that see the business sorting waste on site at

events and diverting upwards of 85% of events

based waste from landfills.

Our resources are precious, WasteCo

understands that 100% and the business is

committed to using its skills and expertise to

ensure that is an educator, influencer and a

game changer in sustainability.

MATERIAL PURCHASES OF ASSETS BY

WASTECO GROUP

WasteCo has undertaken a number of

acquisitions since its inception in 2013 which

are detailed in the table on pages 10-11.

However, given the frequency and the modest

size of those acquisitions, WasteCo considers

that each of these acquisitions comprise a

purchase carried out in the ordinary course of

its business and as such, they are not material

to the WasteCo business as a whole.

SECTOR OVERVIEW

Environmental services - Waste and Refuse

The waste and refuse sector in New Zealand

comprises primarily the collection, processing

and disposal of waste and refuse.

The two largest participants in the New

Z
14

ASTEC

Zealand industry are overseas owned. These

operators have significant footprints nationally.

Aside from these large players, there are

a number of significant, but much smaller

market participants, most of which do not have

nationwide coverage.

There are also a multitude of smaller market

participants in various regions and cities within

New Zealand. WasteCo has a meaningful

footprint across the major city centres in the

South Island.

Industrial Services

Industrial services primarily comprise the

cleaning, maintenance and servicing of

commercial and infrastructure assets in New

Zealand.

There are three large national market

participants, and a significant number of

smaller operators in this market.

CURRENT AND FUTURE KEY ASPECTS

OF THE WASTECO GROUP’S BUSINESS

The current and future aspects of the WasteCo

Group’s business that will have the most

impact on the financial performance of the

WasteCo Group are:

Continued Market Penetration

The ability to continue to achieve market

penetration in South Island markets will be of

significant importance to the WasteCo Group’s

success in those markets.

Innovation & Category Expansion

The waste and refuse industry is always

changing. WasteCo will therefore need to

be focused on understanding, and investing

in, new trends and innovation. Prioritising

investment into understanding what could

be next for the WasteCo’s existing operations

through new service development, recycling

and sustainability will be important to the

ongoing growth and success of the business.

People & Knowledge

A critical aspect of the success of the WasteCo

brand will be WasteCo’s ability to continue to

provide an excellent service to its customers,

and in turn to support and foster the financial

performance of its business.

Channel Development & Coverage

A key focus of the WasteCo Group is growing

its existing geographical network in the South

Island. WasteCo Group considers there are

a number of opportunities outside of its

existing regions which may be of interest to the

WasteCo Group in the future. Resources within

the business are able to be flexibly deployed

to cater to growth from existing and to enable

new channel opportunities.

KEY STRATEGIES AND PLANS FOR KEY

ASPECTS OF THE BUSINESS

Revenues generated from “business as

usual” activities

The most significant opportunity immediately

available to the WasteCo Group is the

continued provision of WasteCo’s services to

its customers throughout the South Island of

New Zealand, recognising the size of the waste,

refuse and industrial services market in New

Zealand.

In addition, the Vendors consider that the

growing global trend for corporate and

retail consumers to focus on recycling and

sustainability presents significant opportunities

for WasteCo to launch into complementary

verticals.

The WasteCo Group has an exciting

opportunity, as a relative newcomer to the

sector and with its strong brand identity, to

grow verticals and to increase its existing

market share. The Vendors consider that this

can be achieved through an extensive brand

and marketing campaign that promotes the

brand ethos and the focus on the provision of

a quality timely service as well as continuing to

establish a premium brand across the waste,

refuse and industrial services sectors.

The Company has current plans to:

• Expand its pipeline of waste contracting

opportunities;

• Obtain additional market share in industrial

services (particularly cleaning across the

rural sector).

Innovation & Vertical Expansion

WasteCo has identified further opportunities

to expand its brand presence in the waste,

refuse and industrial services space, through

Z
WasteCo Group

15

the provisions of additional services and by

continued innovation.

As further set out in Section 4 (The WasteCo

Group and what it does), the WasteCo brand

currently has a range of business divisions.

Although not an immediate focus, the Vendors’

view is that WasteCo Group will be able to

innovate by leveraging the WasteCo platform

and entering into new complementary verticals

outside of the existing waste, refuse and

industrial services sectors.

Geographical Expansion

Currently, the WasteCo Group’s activities are

domiciled in the South Island – primarily in

Christchurch, Ashburton, Timaru, Oamaru,

Dunedin and Balclutha.

The Vendors believe that there is opportunity

to launch the WasteCo Group’s services into

other regions within the South Island, and

while not presently a focus for the WasteCo

Group, also potentially into the North Island,

which represents a materially larger market

given the population and industrial density in

the North Island.

Efficiencies of Scale and improved Margin

with increased size

The Vendors’ view is that WasteCo should be

well placed to increase its direct gross margins

as the volume of business generated by its

operations grows.

Acquisition Opportunities

Since the commencement of its business, the

Waste Co Group has acquired a total of 8 new

businesses, varying in size from circa $200,000

to $3.75 million (on acquisition). WasteCo

believes that it has established a track record of

successfully integrating such acquisitions into

its existing operations.

The Vendors consider that there continue to

be many complementary business acquisition

opportunities in the market, in part due to the

fragmented nature of the waste and refuse

industry in New Zealand. They believe that

they have the necessary skills and expertise to

identify suitable acquisition targets, negotiate

a “fair value” acquisition, and integrate those

new businesses into the WasteCo operations.

In addition, the Vendors believe that, if the

Reverse Listing completes, the ability of

WasteCo going forward to offer shares in a

listed company (WCO) as partial consideration

to fund the acquisition price for future

acquisitions, will also be attractive to many

vendors of suitable businesses who still wish to

retain some exposure to the waste and refuse

sector following the sale of their business.

Further investment in plant and

infrastructure

As part of its overall growth strategy, WasteCo

considers that it will need to continue to invest

in its plant and infrastructure assets, and in

particular the following:

• New investment in medical and quarantine

equipment;

• Increased investment in recycling

capabilities;

• Expansion of its existing Christchurch

sorting facility;

• Establishment of a further network of

strategically located sorting facilities to

support growth opportunities;

• New sweeping equipment;

• New high pressure blasting equipment;

• New hydro excavation equipment.

POST-COMPLETION BOARD OF

DIRECTORS

If the Reverse Listing completes, James

Redmayne, Shane Edmond and Carl Storm,

who are currently the directors of WasteCo,

will all become directors of the Company.

governance/. The Company will substantially

apply with the recommendations of the NZX

HOW WASTECO WAS VALUED

The Company negotiated the purchase

price for100% of the shares in WasteCo on

a commercial arms-length basis with the

Vendors.

The $25.2 million purchase price for 100%

of the shares in WasteCo was agreed based

on the Company’s board’s evaluation of

WasteCo Group’s historical revenues and

EBITDA generated for the financial year ended

31 March 2022, and the WasteCo Group’s

potential to increase its revenues in the future,

gross margins, brand strength and future

growth potential. The sum of $25.2 million

was then aggregated with the $4 million of

Mandatory Convertible Notes previously issued

by the WasteCo Group to raise new capital, to

derive a total acquisition price of $29.2 million.

The Company’s Board is very comfortable with

this valuation methodology having regard to

the following factors:

• WasteCo Group is a well-established

business with more than eight years of

trading history;

• The earnings for WasteCo Group have

shown a steady growth trajectory since the

inception of the business operations;

• The business sectors in which WasteCo

Group operates are relatively stable and

non-volatile;

• The Company’s Board considers that

WasteCo Group has lots of opportunity to

continue to grow both organically and via

acquisitions in the future; and

• WasteCo Group has an experienced

executive team well entrenched in the

waste, refuse and industrial services

sectors.

Substantial Shareholders of the Company if the Reverse Listing completes

If the Reverse Listing completes, the persons specified in the following table are likely to have a

relevant interest in 5% or more of the shares in the Company.

The information used to determine the particulars in the tables below is based on the following

assumptions:

• prior to raising any additional capital in the period between announcement and completion of

the Reverse Listing, the Company has 13,363,927 Shares on issue (post consolidation);

• in order to capitalise the sum of $531,803 of the existing indebtedness of the Company to

Mounterowen Limited, the Company will, at completion of the Reverse Listing, issue 10,636,073

Shares to Mounterowen Limited; and

• in order to satisfy the consideration payable to entities associated with the Vendors for the shares

in WasteCo Group, the Company will, at completion of the Reverse Listing, issue 504,000,000

Shares to the Vendors and 80 million Shares to the holders of the Mandatory Convertible Notes

previously issued by WasteCo; and

• the Company issues 80 million Shares to raise $4 million at an issue price of $0.05 per Share

before completion of the Reverse Listing.

Based on those assumptions, there will be 688,000,000 Shares on issue immediately following

completion of the Reverse Listing.

Current shareholdings held by proposed

directors and senior managers

As of the date of this Profile, the only proposed

director or senior manager that has a relevant

interest in any Shares in GWC is Shane Edmond,

who through his investment company Ashvegas

Limited, holds 400,000 GWC shares.

Shareholdings of proposed directors and

senior managers following the Reverse

Listing

Apart from those Vendors listed in the table

above, and Roger Gower who holds 2,267

GWC through an investment vehicle of his,

no proposed director or senior manager is

expected to hold any Shares immediately

following completion of the Reverse Listing.

Lock up arrangements

The Vendors have agreed that they shall

be restricted from trading 80% of the

Consideration Shares for the period

commencing on the date of the completion of

the acquisition of WasteCo Group, and ending

on the first business day after the date on

which the Company releases its preliminary

result to the market for the financial year

ending 31 March 2023 (Restricted Period). The

escrow restriction will not apply:

• When a Vendor transfers all or part of

their respective Consideration Shares to an

affiliate of theirs, provided that the affiliate

enters into a Restricted Security Deed

with GWC in relation to the Consideration

Shares transferred on the same terms as

agreed to by the Vendors for the remainder

of the Restricted Period;

• When a transfer arises directly because of

the security interest over the Consideration

Shares being enforced by a bona fide

Z

ASTEC

lender to a Vendor; or

• In relation to any full or partial takeover

offer made under the Takeovers Code or

similar scheme of arrangement, provided

that any such takeover offer or similar

scheme of arrangement is not made,

whether directly or indirectly, by a Vendor

or any affiliate of a Vendor. For clarity, if

a full or partial takeover offer is made or

proposed to be made during the Restricted

Period, directly or indirectly by a person

who is not a Vendor or an affiliate of it,

then a Vendor may sell, or agree, or offer

to sell all or any part of the Consideration

Shares to the offeror under that offer.

Options to acquire shares in the Company

In the event that the Reverse Listing completes,

it is proposed that up to a maximum of

35,200,000 new options to acquire shares

in the Company (Options) may be issued to

non-executive directors, senior executives, and

current and future employees of the WasteCo

Group during the course of the 12 month

period immediately following the completion

of the Reverse Listing.

The principal terms of the Options are as

follows:

• Nature of security: An Option to acquire

one ordinary fully paid share in the

Company;

• Exercise Price: Not less than $0.05 per

Option exercised, which shall be payable

in cash on the date of the exercise of the

Option;

• Vesting: The Options shall vest in the

Option holder over three years in equal

one third tranches – one-third on the

date of their issue, one-third on the first

anniversary of the date of their issue, and

one-third on the second anniversary of the

date of their issue.

• Term of Option: The Options must be

exercised within three years from relevant

vesting date, after which date the Option

shall lapse (unless the Option holder

ceases to be employed or engaged by the

Company or one of its subsidiaries, other

than due to death or illness, in which case

the Options that have not vested at that

time will terminate and any vested, but

unexercised Options will lapse. In the case

of death or illness, any unvested Options

will lapse and any vested but unexercised

Options must be exercised within 30 days

of the holders death or illness or those

Options will lapse).

The parties to whom the Options are to be

issued, and the amounts in which they are to

be allotted have not been finalised as at the

Shares following Reverse Listing

Following completion of the Reverse Listing,

the Company will have 688,000,000 Shares on

issue (assuming the issue of 80 million Shares

to wholesale investors under the Placement),

which will all be quoted on the NZX Main

Board. Each Share gives the holder the right to:

• attend and vote at a meeting of the

Company, including the right to cast one

vote per Share on a poll (subject to any

voting prohibitions under the NZX Listing

Rules);

• an equal share with other Shares in any

dividends authorised by the Board;

• an equal share with other Shares in

the distribution of surplus assets in any

liquidation of the Company; and

• be sent certain information by the

Company,

in addition to other rights as a shareholder

conferred by the Companies Act 1993 and the

Company’s Constitution.

Dividend policy

WasteCo has paid minimal dividends since its

incorporation. The Vendors have no current

plans for the Company to pay dividends

following the Reverse Listing. Any profits will

be reinvested to promote the growth of the

WasteCo Group’s business. If this strategy is

successful, shareholders may benefit from an

increase in the price of Shares.

There is no guarantee that Shares will return

a dividend. Any dividends will be declared

and paid at the discretion of the Company’s

directors from time to time, and will only be

declared subject to the Company meeting

appropriate solvency requirements.

5. KEY FEATURES OF THE SHARES

No guarantee of Shares

No person or entity guarantees or undertakes

any liability in respect of the Shares or the

future value or performance of them.

Consequences of insolvency

No Shareholder will be liable to pay any further

amounts to the Company or any other person

in respect of those Shares if the Company

becomes insolvent.

In a liquidation of the Company, the claims of

Shareholders will rank equally with the claims

of other Shareholders, and after the claims of:

• persons to whom preferential payments

must be made;

• secured creditors; and

• unsecured creditors.

Alteration of Shares

The rights attaching to the Shares are

governed by the Company’s constitution, the

Companies Act 1993 and the terms under

which they have been issued. The constitution

may only be altered by special resolution of

shareholders subject to the rights of interest

groups under the Companies Act 1993, or in

certain circumstances by Court Order. A special

resolution of shareholders must be approved

by 75% of eligible shareholders voting on

that resolution. In certain circumstances, a

Shareholder whose rights are affected by a

special resolution may require the Company to

purchase their Shares.

Restriction on “same class” offer

The Company has agreed with NZX as part

of its conditions of listing that, following the

Reverse Listing, it will not undertake a capital

raising which relies on the “same class offer”

exclusion in clause 19 of Schedule 1 of the

Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, until after

the release of audited financial statements by

the Company for the financial year ended 31

March 2023.

Reverse Listing Agreement – contracted cash

position at completion of the Reverse Listing

Under the reverse listing agreement between

the Company and the Vendors, the Company

has certain completion obligations.

These obligations include:

• the Company having no more than

$125,000 of liabilities on the completion

date; and

• the Company, in conjunction with the

Vendors, undertaking a placement to

certain wholesale investors prior to the

completion date, from which the Company

has advised that it expects to raise $4

million.

Accordingly, if those completion obligations are

satisfied as is expected, the Company and the

WasteCo Group will together have not less than

$4 million of cash, or undrawn finance facilities

available immediately following completion of

the Reverse Listing.

At completion, the Company is required to

have no external debt (save for creditors in the

ordinary course up to a maximum of $125,000).

It is a condition of the reverse listing agreement

that at completion the WasteCo Group does

not have any related party debt (i.e debt to the

Vendors or their associates).

More information about the conditions in the

reverse listing agreement can be found on

pages 15-16 of the Notice of Special Meeting.

No future period prospective financial

information

The Vendors and the Company have resolved

to not include prospective financial statements

for the financial year to 31 March 2023.

Z
28

ASTEC

This section sets out a description of the key circumstances that the Vendors are aware of that exist

or are likely to arise that significantly increase the risk to the WasteCo Group’s financial position,

financial performance or stated plans.

The table below contains information which the Vendors consider relevant to an assessment of the

likelihood, nature and potential magnitude of the impact of the risks. These risks are based on the

knowledge and assessment of the directors as at the date of this Profile. It is possible that other risks

may emerge or develop over time.

Dependence on key personnel

What is the risk?The WasteCo Group’s operations are heavily reliant on certain key personnel,

including James Redmayne and Carl Storm.

If any of the key personnel were to leave the WasteCo Group, its operations and

financial performance could be adversely affected.

Why is it significant to

the WasteCo Group?

WasteCo Group is particularly dependent on its key personnel. While it is not

anticipated, if the Company loses the services of key individuals this could have a

material adverse effect on its future performance until the skills that are lost are

adequately replaced.

Information to assist

assessment of the

likelihood, nature and

potential magnitude of

the risk

If the Reverse Listing completes, each of James Redmayne and Carl Storm, through

their related trusts, will hold (collectively) approximately 47.03% of the Company

(assuming the Company raises $4 million through the Placement).

Accordingly, Messrs Redmayne and Storm are incentivised to deliver business

growth and achieve the WasteCo Group’s goals, which reduces the likelihood

that they will leave the WasteCo Group. Messrs Redmayne and Storm have also

entered into lock up arrangements with respect to their shareholdings which will

apply until such time as the Company releases audited its preliminary result for

the financial year ended 31 March 2023.

WasteCo holds a policy of insurance on each of the lives of Messrs Storm and

Redmayne. The redemption value for the each policy is circa $1m.

Reliance on significant contracts

What is the risk?The success of the WasteCo business is largely reliant on the ability of the business

to retain and grow existing customer relationships and develop new business.

There is no guarantee that the existing significant business contracts will be

renewed at the end of the contract terms, or if they do, that these contracts will

continue to be successful.

Why is it significant to

the WasteCo Group?

In the event that any significant contracts are not renewed or extended, this

event would have an adverse impact on the ongoing cashflow and revenues to be

generated by WasteCo.

Information to assist

assessment of the

likelihood, nature and

potential magnitude of

the risk

The reliance of WasteCo on its existing significant customer relationships is in part

mitigated by the diversification of its business operations (both geographically and

with new divisions) which it intends to grow further by the continued acquisition

of complementary businesses as and when identified.

7. RISKS TO THE WASTECO GROUP’S BUSINESS AND

PLANS

Z
WasteCo Group

29

Competition

What is the risk?The waste, refuse and industrial services sectors in New Zealand are highly

competitive.

One or more of the WasteCo Group’s competitors could seek to offer comparable

services at lower prices, which might cause downward pressure on the WasteCo

Group’s pricing and ability to create margin and revenue. One or more

competitors could also offer comparable services which are preferred by the

market leading to reduced demand for the WasteCo Group’s services, or may be

successful in securing major new contracts or developing new technologies. New

competitors may also enter the market in the future.

Why is it significant to

the WasteCo Group?

The actions of, and emergence of new competitors, may impact the prices that the

WasteCo Group can charge for its services or reduce the level of its business, both

of which could negatively impact on the Company’s business, financial condition

and results.

Information to assist

assessment of the

likelihood, nature and

potential magnitude of

the risk

The WasteCo brand has positioned itself with a point of difference in the verticals

in which it operates with respect to service quality, excellence, sustainability

and “look and feel” and considers it is well placed to stand out against the

competition.

The Vendors expect that they will be able to mitigate this risk given their

experience in the industry, understanding of the WasteCo Group’s sectors, and

with assistance from WasteCo’s experienced Senior Leadership Team.

Management of growth opportunities

What is the risk?As the WasteCo Group continues to expand organically and through strategic

acquisitions, it may not successfully identify the right acquisition opportunities

or manage its growth, which could lead to adverse operational and financial

performance.

While WasteCo conducts thorough due diligence as part of each proposed

acquisition, it is possible that one or more material issues or liabilities may not

have been identified, or may be more significant than expected and that WasteCo

may not be adequately compensated or protected for such issue or liability in

relation to the representations, warranties and indemnities provided by the

vendor of the relevant business.

There is also no assurance that WasteCo will be successful in continuing to secure

future acquisitions to further its future growth, nor that any historic acquisition

will continue to improve its competitiveness and profitability.

Why is it significant to

the WasteCo Group?

The WasteCo Group is always seeking to pursue substantial new growth initiatives,

including expansion into new commercial verticals and new markets within the

South Island. If the WasteCo Group succeeds, the number of customers it serves

and the operating complexities it faces will increase.

The WasteCo Group also needs to carefully and seamlessly manage the integration

of new employees from businesses acquired into their own business operations.

The WasteCo Group expects that significant growth and increased operating

complexity will place additional demands on its operating systems as well as

personnel. If the WasteCo Group’s operating systems, personnel or distribution

networks are unable to keep pace with these demands, the Company’s business,

operating results and financial condition may be materially adversely affected.

Z
30

ASTEC

Information to assist

assessment of the

likelihood, nature and

potential magnitude of

the risk

The Vendors have a track record of managing the growth of their existing business

operations, and of also successfully identifying and integrating recently acquired

businesses into their own existing business operations which they intend to

continue, however there is no guarantee that WasteCo will be successful in

obtaining its operational and strategic goals through such acquisitions.

Entry into new geographic markets and new verticals

What is the risk?Expansion into new geographical markets and new verticals is difficult, and there

is a risk that the WasteCo Group will fail to successfully execute its strategy in new

markets and new verticals.

Why is it significant to

the WasteCo Group?

The WasteCo Group believes there are significant opportunities in promoting its

services in new targeted South Island and potentially North Island markets, and

also in launching new services into new verticals associated with waste, refuse and

industrial services, in which WasteCo Group does not currently participate.

Accordingly, the WasteCo Group has medium and long term ambitions to expand

into other geographical markets and other market verticals.

Information to assist

assessment of the

likelihood, nature and

potential magnitude of

the risk

The Vendors believe they have sufficient previous experience operating in

the WasteCo Group’s target markets, which they believe they can leverage to

successfully execute the WasteCo Group’s strategy.

The WasteCo Group’s existing capital, and additional capital to be raised by the

Company prior to completion of the Reverse Listing, will enable the WasteCo

Group to fund growth opportunities, and to employ further staff to manage

growth in these new markets and to take advantage of the contacts that the

Vendors have already established in these markets.

Regulatory Risk

What is the risk?As a large part of the WasteCo Group’s business comprises the collection, recycling

and disposal of waste and refuse, it is possible that the undertaking of those

operations may be subject to new or amended regulation, including employment,

health and safety and environmental regulation, which impose additional costs or

restrictions on WasteCo group.

There is also risk regarding potential government intervention in the manner in

which certain recycling/diversion is subsidised. This may have an impact upon the

revenues that WasteCo may ultimately derive from a particular contract.

Why is it significant to

the WasteCo Group?

The WasteCo Group believes that it complies with all applicable regulations in the

markets in which it operates. However, in the event of the introduction of new

or amended regulations, the WasteCo Group might be required to change the

manner in which it undertake is operations commercially.

Information to assist

assessment of the

likelihood, nature and

potential magnitude of

the risk

The WasteCo Group has a long history of expertise with respect to regulatory

compliance in the waste, refuse and industrial services sectors.

Environmental Risk

What is the risk?WasteCo’s operations are subject to significant environment regulation. Non

compliance with these regulatory requirements can have a material adverse

impact on WasteCo’s operations from both a reputational perspective (through

negative publicity associated with non-compliance) and from an economic

perspective through the imposition of fines, or restrictions on the commercial

operations of WasteCo.

Z
WasteCo Group

31

Environmental Risk

Why is it significant to the

WasteCo Group?

There are various laws and regulations which impact WasteCo, particularly in

relation to its waste collection, sorting and diversion operations are part of

its environmental services. These laws and regulations seek to minimise the

impact of waste management activities on the environment as well as human

health.

Unforeseen issues may affect WasteCo in relation to the operation of its

waste facilities, and there is a risk for example that a waste facility may be

contaminated, now or in the future.

If these risks eventuate, there is a risk that the WasteCo Group may face fines

or other regulatory action from local or government authorities, which may

be substantial. WasteCo may also be required to undertake remediation at

its own cost. If WasteCo is not able to remediate such issues successfully or

at a reasonable cost, this may impact on the business, financial condition and

profitability of its business.

Information to assist

assessment of the

likelihood, nature and

potential magnitude of

the risk

The WasteCo Group has a long history of expertise with respect to compliance

with environmental protection requirements and regulations in the context of

the waste, refuse and industrial services sectors.

Health and Safety Risk

What is the risk?WasteCo is a business which involves the operation of heavy machinery, and

often on public roads and industrial sites.

When operating such equipment in such environments there is a risk of

injury or even death to the members of the WasteCo staff who operate such

equipment, or to members of the public or third party contractors in the event

of an accident occurring.

WasteCo is required to comply with laws and regulations relating to protecting

the safety of, and mitigating the risk of workplace injuries, occurring to its

employees and other persons in the course of its business activities.

Why is it significant to the

WasteCo Group?

WasteCo treasures each and every one of its employees and contractors as

part of the wider WasteCo family. It would be a devastating occurrence for any

member of the WasteCo staff, to be involved in an incident which resulted in

the injury or death of that staff member, or a member of the public.

In the event of a health and safety incident, there is a risk that the WasteCo

Group may face fines or other regulatory action from government authorities,

which may be substantial. Such fines or regulatory action may have a

significant impact on the business, financial condition and profitability of its

business.

Information to assist

assessment of the

likelihood, nature and

potential magnitude of

the risk

WasteCo has developed an extensive training and health and safety protocol to

ensure that the safety of each staff member and members of the community

are protected during the day to day operations of the WasteCo business.

Regular training seminars, audits of health and safety protocols are undertaken

by WasteCo to ensure that the risk of a possible accident or incident are

reduced as far as possible in the circumstances.

General risks, such as changes in general economic conditions, new legislation, tax reform, changes in

interest and inflation rates may also have an adverse impact on WasteCo’s business and activities, and

on its ability to fund its ongoing business operations.

CONSTITUTION OF WASTECO GROUP LIMITED


FIRST SCHEDULE: CALLS, FORFEITURE AND LIENS

INTERPRETATION

1 Construction

Unless stated otherwise, references to clauses are references to clauses in this

Schedule.

CALLS ON SHARES

2 Shareholders must pay calls

Every shareholder on receiving at least 10 working days’ notice specifying the time

or times and the place of payment must pay, in accordance with that notice, the

amount called to be paid in respect of any Shares that shareholder holds. The Board

may revoke or postpone a call, or require a call to be paid by instalments.

3 Call made when Board resolution passed

A call is regarded as having been made at the time when the Board resolution

authorising the call was passed.

4 Joint holders are jointly and severally liable

The joint holders of a Share are jointly and severally liable to pay all calls for that

Share.

5 Unpaid calls will accrue interest

If an amount called is not paid in full at the time specified for payment, the person

from whom the amount is due must pay the Company interest on the amount that

remains unpaid at a rate determined by the Board and calculated from the time

specified for payment until the day of actual payment. Subject to the Rules, the

Board may waive some or all of the payment of that interest.

6 Amounts payable under terms of issue treated as calls

Any amount that becomes payable on issue or at any specified date under this

constitution or under the terms of issue of Shares or under a contract for the issue

of Shares, will be regarded as being a call duly made and payable on the specified

date. If the payment is not made, the relevant provisions of this constitution will

apply as if the amount had become payable by virtue of a call made in accordance

with this constitution.

7 Board may differentiate between shareholders as to calls

On the issue of Shares, the Board may differentiate between shareholders as to the

amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.

8 Board may accept payment in advance for calls

8.1 Where a shareholder is willing to advance some or all of the money unpaid and

uncalled on any Share of that shareholder, the Board may accept the amount

advanced on the Company’s behalf. The Board may pay interest on that amount at

a rate agreed between the Board and that shareholder for the period between the

date that the amount is accepted and the date that the amount becomes payable

pursuant to a call or the date specified for its payment.


CONSTITUTION OF WASTECO GROUP LIMITED


8.2 The Board may at any time repay to any shareholder the whole or any portion of

any money so advanced upon giving that holder at least 10 working days’ notice in

writing and as from the date of such repayment interest (if any) shall cease to

accrue on the money so repaid.

8.3 A shareholder is not entitled as of right to any payment of interest on any amount so

paid in advance and the Board may decline to pay any interest. Any amount so paid

in advance must not be taken into account in ascertaining the amount of any

dividend or other distribution payable upon the Shares concerned.

FORFEITURE OF SHARES

9 Board may by notice require forfeiture of Shares if calls unpaid

The Board may during the time that a call, instalment, or other amount remains

unpaid on a Share, serve a notice on the holder of that Share requiring payment of

the unpaid call, instalment, or other amount, together with any accrued interest and

any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of non-payment.

10 Notice of forfeiture must satisfy certain requirements

The notice served on a shareholder under clause 9 must specify a date not earlier

than 10 working days after the date the notice is served by which the payment is to

be made. The notice must also state that in the event of non-payment by the

appointed time, the Shares to which the call, instalment, or other amount relates,

will be liable to be forfeited by the shareholder.

11 Failure to comply with notice may lead to forfeiture

Where a valid notice under clause 9 is served on a shareholder and the shareholder

fails to comply with the notice, then the Board may resolve that any Share for which

that notice was given and all distributions authorised and not paid before the notice

was served be forfeited.

12 Board may deal with forfeited Share

A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such

manner as the Board thinks fit. However, the Board may cancel the forfeiture at

any time before the sale or other disposition on such terms as the Board thinks fit if

the call, instalment or other amount which remains unpaid on the Share is paid.

13 Shareholder whose Shares are forfeited loses rights

A person whose Shares have been forfeited immediately ceases to be a shareholder

in respect of those Shares notwithstanding any other provision of this constitution,

and remains liable to pay the unpaid amount that the shareholder owes the

Company, but that liability shall cease if the Company receives payment in full of all

money owing for those Shares.

14 Evidence of forfeiture

A certificate signed by a Director that a Share has been duly forfeited on a stated

date is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in that certificate.


CONSTITUTION OF WASTECO GROUP LIMITED


15 Company may sell forfeited Share

The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a forfeited Share

following a sale or disposition, and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of

the person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of, and register that person as the

holder of the Share. That person is not bound to see to the application of the

purchase money, if any, nor is the title to the Share affected by any irregularity or

invalidity in the procedures under this constitution in respect of the forfeiture, sale

or disposal of that Share. Any residue after satisfaction of unpaid calls, instalments,

premiums or other amounts and interest, and expenses, shall be paid to the

previous holder, or to his or her executors, administrators or assigns.

LIEN ON SHARES

16 Company’s lien

The Company has a lien, ranking in priority over all other equities, on:

16.1 all Shares registered in the name of a shareholder; and

16.2 all dividends authorised in respect of such Shares; and

16.3 the proceeds of sale of such Shares,

for:

16.4 unpaid calls and instalments payable in respect of any such Shares; and

16.5 interest on any such calls or instalments; and

16.6 sale expenses owing to the Company in respect of any such Shares; and

16.7 any amounts that the Company may be called on to pay under any statute,

regulation, ordinance or other legislation in respect of the Shares of that

shareholder, whether the period for payment has arrived or not.

17 Waiver of lien

Registration of a transfer of Shares on which the Company has any lien will operate

as a waiver of the lien, unless the Company gives notice to the contrary to the

transferee prior to registration.

18 Company may sell Share on which it has a lien

The Company may sell a Share on which it has a lien in such manner as the Board

thinks fit, where:

18.1 the lien on the Share is for a sum which is presently payable; and

18.2 the registered holder of the Share, or the person entitled to it on his or her

death or bankruptcy, has failed to pay that sum within 10 working days after

the Company has served that registered holder written notice demanding

payment of that sum.


CONSTITUTION OF WASTECO GROUP LIMITED


19 Company may transfer Share and apply proceeds

19.1 The Company may receive the consideration given for a Share sold under clause 18,

and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the person to whom the Share

is sold, and register that person as the holder of the Share discharged from all calls

due prior to the purchase.

19.2 The purchaser is not bound to see to the application of the purchase money, and the

purchaser’s title to the Share is not affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the

proceedings relating to the sale. The remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale

shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.

19.3 The Company must apply the sale proceeds in payment of the sum presently

payable on the lien, and the balance, if any, shall (subject to a like lien for sums not

presently payable that existed upon the Share before the sale) be paid to the person

who held the Share immediately before the date of sale or to his or her executors,

administrators or assigns.

left unfinished at the meeting from which the adjournment took place.


CONSTITUTION OF WASTECO GROUP LIMITED


7 Chairperson may dissolve or adjourn unruly meetings

The chairperson may adjourn or dissolve the meeting if in his or her opinion the

meeting has become so unruly, disorderly or inordinately protracted, that the

business of the meeting cannot be conducted in a proper and orderly manner. The

chairperson may exercise this power without the consent of the meeting and without

giving reasons.

8 Dissolved meetings - unfinished business

If the chairperson proposes to dissolve a meeting pursuant to clause 7, and there is

any item of unfinished business of the meeting which in his or her opinion requires

to be voted upon, then that item shall be dealt with by the chairperson directing it to

be put to the vote by a poll without further discussion.

VOTING

9 Chairperson allowed casting vote

In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands, voice vote or on a

poll, the chairperson has a casting vote.

POLLS

10 Voting at meetings to be by poll

As required by the NZX Listing Rules, all voting at meetings of shareholders must be

conducted by a poll.

11 Time at which polls to be taken

A poll demanded on the election of a chairperson of a meeting or on a question of

adjournment must be taken immediately. A poll demanded on any other question is

to be taken at such time as the chairperson of the meeting directs. The meeting

may proceed to deal with any business other than that upon which a poll has been

demanded pending the taking of the poll.

12 Declaration of poll result

12.1 The chairperson of the meeting may declare the result of a poll either at or after the

meeting, and when the outcome of the poll is known, may do so regardless of

whether all votes have been counted.

12.2 The result of a poll declared by the chairperson of the meeting will be treated as the

resolution of the meeting at which the poll was demanded on the issue for which the

poll was taken.

PROXIES

13 Form of notice of proxy

A notice appointing a proxy shall be in such form as the Board may direct.


CONSTITUTION OF WASTECO GROUP LIMITED

14.1 the shareholder has died or become incapacitated; or

14.2 the proxy, or the authority under which the proxy was executed, has been

revoked; or

14.3 the Share in respect of which the notice of proxy is given has been

transferred,

before a meeting at which a proxy exercises a vote in terms of a notice of proxy but

the Company does not receive written notice of that death, incapacity, revocation, or

transfer before the start of the meeting, the vote of the proxy is valid.

POSTAL VOTES

15 Postal votes permitted at Board’s option

15.1 A shareholder may exercise the right to vote at a meeting by casting a postal vote

only if the Board, prior to the giving of notice of a meeting, has so determined and,

if the Board so determines, the provisions of clause 7 of the first schedule to the Act

shall apply. To avoid doubt, a postal vote may be cast using electronic means

permitted by the Board.
