customers.

•With a strong emphasis on minimising the environmental impacts of waste, WasteCo has a successful track record of diverting over40% of

waste from landfill and is currently the only NZ waste company certified with ToituEnviromarkdiamond certification.

•Following its reverse listing on the NZX in late 2022, WasteCo has grown to a current market cap of ~$53m and is New Zealand’s only

1.FY23 contributions from CSC, Cleanways and BCL reflect normalised unaudited FY23 financial results established during due diligence and reviewed by a third-party adviser. Cleanways FY23 contribution represents 12

months of actual results (31 March year-end) with the BCL FY23 contribution based on 12 months to June 2023 including 7 months actual results and 5 months budget. Pro forma results are for illustrative purposes, are no

indication of future performance and include an allocation of assumed overheads under WasteCo ownership.

2.Includes impact of recently completed $4.32m private placement, $2.2m of shares issued to the vendors of Cleanways and assumes the $3.0 million of additional equity (including through the SPP). Incremental net debt of

$6.6m represents the debt funded component of the acquisitions.

3.Net Debt = total borrowings less cash and cash equivalents.

Conditional Acquisition

WasteCo has entered into a conditional agreement to acquire the waste

collection business of BCL for a total purchase price of NZ$8.775m. BCL

holds the waste collection services and transfer station operation contract for

WasteNet Councils, collectively servicing Invercargill City Council, Gore

District Council and Southland District Council.

The WasteNet Councils contract represents a significant majority of BCL’s

revenue and expires in mid-2027. The transaction remains conditional on

WasteNet Councils approving the transfer of the contract to WasteCo (and

certain other conditions usual for a transaction of this nature). WasteCo

intends to proactively engage with the WasteNet Councils and participate in

subsequent negotiations and tender opportunities for the WasteNet Councils

contract beyond 2027.

If the transaction proceeds, the BCL business would significantly increase the

proportion of contracted revenue for the WasteCo Group and provides a

complementary asset base with more than 60% of the purchase price

supported by the value of plant and equipment being acquired.

Conditional Acquisition of BCL & Pro Forma Impact

Summary Pro-Forma FY23 Financial Information

The recently completed acquisitions of Cleanways (settled 1 June 23) and

CSC (settled 1 March 23) as well as the conditional BCL acquisition

(estimated settlement of 2 October), are expected to deliver meaningful

financial contributions and earnings accretion to WasteCo shareholders.

In aggregate and assuming they had been owned by WasteCo for the full 12

months ending 31 March 2023, the acquisitions would result in consolidated

WasteCo Group pro forma revenue of $50.3m and operating EBITDA of

$10.0m as summarised below.

1

Pro forma FY23 net debt following settlement

of BCL, the recent equity placement and assuming $3.0m raised under the

current equity capital raising, increases to $26.9m (~2.7x pro forma FY23

operating EBITDA).

1

Although not an indication of future performance, the historical FY23 pro

forma financial information demonstrates WasteCo’s progress towards its

target of achieving $100m of revenue by the end of 2027.

Should the conditional acquisition of the BCL business not proceed, WasteCo

continues to assess contract partnership and / or acquisition opportunities that

would deliver on WasteCo’s growth strategy.

12

Financial Summary & Outlook
WasteCo is amongst New Zealand’s largest independent waste providers with FY23 revenue and operating EBITDA

of $34.4m and $5.6m respectively with a strong growth outlook.

13

Significant opportunities for continued revenue growth:

•New contract partnerships with existing and new customers with a

strong focus on finding sustainable waste solutions;

•Organic growth in existing and new services;

•Earnings contributions from recently completed acquisitions of

CSC (March 2023) and Cleanways(June 2023) expected to be

evident in the second half of FY24; and

•The conditional agreement to acquire the BCL business (targeting

settlement 2 October 2023).

WasteCo continues to take advantage of the considerable

opportunities available with our target of achieving $100m of revenue

by the end of 2027.

Costs incurred for acquisition and capital raising related expenses in

the first half and the timing of the acquisition of the Cleanways and

BCL businesses (assuming settlement conditions are met) will result

in WasteCo’s earnings being heavily weighted to the second half of

FY24.

Our ability to provide innovative waste solutions in partnership with

our customers is a key driver. WasteCo prides itself on exceeding the

expectations of our customers and the public with our efforts to deal

with waste as sustainably and responsibly as possible. This means

constantly challenging ourselves to find more solutions to remove as

much volume from landfill as possible.

Key Risks

Risk Factors

Before investing in WasteCo, you should be aware that an investment has a number of risks, some of which are specific to WasteCo and some of which relate to

listed securities generally, and many of which are beyond the control of WasteCo. Additionally, some risks may be unknown and other risks, currently believed to

be immaterial, could turn out to be material. This section identifies some of the key risks that WasteCo has identified in connection with the SPP. Further detail in

respect of those risks can be found in WasteCo's November 2022 Listing Profile. Whilst the section below aims to highlight some of the key risks, it is not

exhaustive. Investors should also refer to WasteCo’s previous NZX disclosures, including its most recent Annual Report.

WasteCo’s business and its ability to grow relies on its ability to retain existing customer relationships and develop new ones. This is particularly relevant to

WasteCo’s revenue with its contracted customers. There is no guarantee that these relationships will continue beyond the terms of contracts or if they do continue,

that these relationships will be successful.

The performance of WasteCo may be subject to conditions beyond the control of management, and these conditions may reduce sales of its services and/or

increase costs of both current and future operations. There are things that may cause disruptions to business operations, higher operating costs or deterioration in

WasteCo’s ability to provide collections and other transport solutions to an adequate standard that satisfies customer requirements. These circumstances may

adversely affect WasteCo’s reputation, profitability and growth.

In accordance with its growth strategy, WasteCo has undertaken a number of acquisitions. At the time of each acquisition, WasteCo conducted sufficient due

diligence enquiries. Notwithstanding this due diligence, it is possible that one or more material issues or liabilities may not have been identified, or are of an amount

that is greater than expected, and that the standard protections (in the form of representations, warranties and indemnities) negotiated by WasteCo prior to the

relevant acquisition are inadequate in the circumstances. Such issues or liabilities could adversely affect WasteCo’s financial performance, position and future

prospects.

There may be relatively few potential buyers or sellers of the shares on the NZX at any time. This may increase the volatility of the market price of shares. It may

also affect the prevailing market price at which shareholders are able to sell their shares. This may result in shareholders receiving a market price for their shares

that is less or more than the price that shareholders paid.

Before deciding whether to invest in WasteCo shares, you must make your own assessment of the risks associated with the investment, including the inherent

risks from investing in shares and the uncertainties noted above, and consider whether such an investment is suitable for you having regard to all other publicly

available information, your personal circumstances and following consultation with your financial and other professional advisers.

Important information

General information

This document has been prepared by WasteCo Group Limited (WCO) in connection with an offer of

new ordinary shares in WCO (Shares) under a share purchase plan (SPP). The offer is made to

Eligible Shareholders under the exclusion in clause 19 of Schedule 1 of the Financial Markets Conduct

Act 2013. This document is not a product disclosure statement, prospectus, or other disclosure

document and does not contain all of the information which may be required in order to make an

informed investment decision about the SPP or WCO.

Further important information

A presentation providing further important information in relation to WCO and the SPP has been

published by WCO on 11 August 2023 (Investor Presentation). A copy of the Investor Presentation

and other important information released on 11 August 2023 is available at www.nzx.com under the

ticker code "WCO".

The Investor Presentation includes information about the rationale for the SPP and explains in more

detail WCO’s future growth strategy and a summary of certain key risks associated with WCO.

You should read the Investor Presentation in full, as it contains important information to assist you in

making an investment decision in respect of the SPP. In particular, you should read and consider page

17 of the Investor Presentation ("Key Risks") before making an investment decision.

Additional information available under continuous disclosure obligations

WCO is subject to continuous disclosure obligations under the Listing Rules. Market releases by

WCO, including its most recent financial statements, are available at www.nzx.com under ticker code

"WCO".

WCO may, during the SPP, make additional releases to NZX. No release by WCO to NZX will permit

an applicant to withdraw any previously submitted Application without WCO's consent, whether or not

there has been any permissible variation of the SPP.

The market price for the Shares may change between the Opening Date, the date you apply for

Shares under the SPP, and the Allotment Date. Accordingly, the price paid for Shares issued under

the SPP may be higher or lower than the price at which Shares are trading on the NZX Main Board at

the time the Shares are issued under the SPP. The market price of new Shares following allotment

may be higher or lower than the Issue Price.

Before deciding whether to invest in the Shares, you must make your own assessment of the risks

Chairman’s Letter

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Board of WasteCo Group Limited (WasteCo), I am pleased to offer you the

opportunity to subscribe for new ordinary shares in WasteCo through a Share Purchase Plan (SPP).

The SPP follows the successful placement of shares to wholesale investors which was completed on

13 June 2023 raising $4.32 million (Placement). WasteCo is now seeking to raise $2.5 million through

the SPP which is fully underwritten by existing WasteCo Shareholders and provides Shareholders the

opportunity to acquire shares at the same price as under the Placement without incurring brokerage or

other transaction costs.

Together, the SPP and an additional placement of $0.5 million of new shares, at the same price as the

SPP, will provide $3.0 million of new equity to further support WasteCo’s growth strategy. This

includes partially funding the conditional acquisition of the waste collection business of Bond

Contracts Limited (BCL) for $8.775 million announced on 11 August 2023 should that transaction

proceed. The BCL acquisition will be WasteCo’s third acquisition since our reverse listing in December

2022 and supports our strategy to become one of New Zealand’s leading independent waste solutions

companies, with a focus on processing and diverting liquid and solid waste from landfill.

The SPP is open to Eligible Shareholders, being all persons who were recorded on WasteCo's share

register at 5.00pm on 10 August 2023 as being a holder of WasteCo shares and having an address in

New Zealand. Participation in the SPP is optional. The SPP will enable all eligible New Zealand

shareholders of WasteCo to participate in the equity raising and acquire new shares of up to $15,000

(with WasteCo retaining the right to accept oversubscriptions at its discretion). The issue price is fixed

at $0.065 per new Share, being the same price paid by investors under the Placement.

Further details about the SPP, including the terms of the offer and an explanation of how you can

participate, are contained in this document and the online application form. All documents relating to

the SPP as well as the Investor Presentation and other important information released on 11 August

2023 are available online at https://wco.capitalraise.co.nz. We encourage you to read these

documents carefully before you decide whether to participate and suggest that you seek financial,

investment or other professional advice before making an investment decision.

If you wish to participate in the SPP, you must ensure that you submit an online application and make

payment so that it is received no later than 5.00pm on 23 August 2023. Shares under the SPP are

expected to be allotted on 30 August 2023, unless the closing date is extended.

On behalf of the Board, I thank you for your continued support of WasteCo.

Shane Edmond

Chairman

Key details

Eligibility You may participate in the SPP if you are a shareholder of WCO at

5.00pm on the Record Date of 10 August 2023 and have a registered

address in New Zealand. If you hold Shares on behalf of a person who

resides outside New Zealand, you may not participate in respect of that

person. Similarly, you may not participate if you are outside New Zealand

or acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States.

Equal

participation

Each Eligible Shareholder has the right to apply for the same maximum value

of new Shares on the same terms as each other Eligible Shareholder.

Transferability The offer made under this SPP is personal to you. It cannot be

transferred to another person.

Application

amount

If you wish to participate in this SPP, you apply for a dollar amount of Shares,

not for a certain number of Shares.

Eligible Shareholders can apply for an amount of Shares up to $15,000. You

may also apply for an additional dollar amount of Shares, but

oversubscriptions will only be accepted at WasteCo's discretion.

You will receive the number of Shares equal to the dollar amount of Shares

you have applied for divided by the Issue Price (subject to scaling, see

below). If, once divided by the Issue Price, the dollar amount of Shares you

have applied for (or are allocated) does not equal a whole number of Shares,

the number of Shares allotted to you will be rounded down to the nearest

Share. Refunds will not be paid for any fractional entitlements.

Issue Price

The price of the Shares to be issued under the SPP is at a fixed price of

$0.065 per new Share, being the same price paid by investors in the

Placement.

Underwriting The SPP is fully underwritten by a small number of Eligible Shareholders

on terms customary for an offer of this nature, including relevant termination

events, representations, warranties and indemnities. Shares will be

allocated to the underwriting Eligible Shareholders after Shares have first

been allocated to all Eligible Shareholders who applied for

oversubscriptions under the SPP.

When to apply Applications must be received by 5.00pm on the Closing Date (23 August

2023, unless extended).

How to apply We encourage Eligible Shareholders to apply online at

https://wco.capitalraise.co.nz

page 8

Questions and answers

These Questions and Answers are a summary only and you should refer to the Terms later in this

document for further information.

1. What is the Share Purchase Plan?

The SPP allows Eligible Shareholders to purchase up to $15,000 worth of additional Shares in WCO

without incurring brokerage.

WCO has the ability to accept oversubscriptions for additional Shares from Eligible Shareholders, at

WCO's discretion.

All Shares issued under the SPP will be of the same class as, and rank equally with, all Shares in

WCO on issue at the Allotment Date. It is a term of the SPP that WCO will take any necessary steps to

ensure that the Shares are, immediately after issue, quoted on the NZX Main Board.

2. Am I eligible to participate?

You are eligible to participate in the SPP if:

(a) you were registered as a holder of Shares at 5:00pm on 10 August 2023 (being the Record

Date);

(b) your address recorded on the share register is in New Zealand; and

(c) you do not hold Shares on behalf of another person who resides outside of New Zealand.

3. How many Shares can I purchase?

Eligible Shareholders may apply for up to $15,000 of Shares under the SPP (but with the ability for

WCO to accept oversubscriptions at WCO's discretion), subject to scaling.

WCO is inviting Applications for up to $2.5 million of Shares in aggregate (with the ability to accept

oversubscriptions at WCO's discretion). If WCO receives Applications in excess of $2.5 million, it may

accept oversubscriptions at is discretion or scale back Applications having regard to the number of

Shares held by each applicant at the Record Date and otherwise at its discretion (see clause 8 of the

Terms).

If Applications are scaled, applicants will receive the number of Shares equal to the dollar amount of

the Application accepted (as scaled) divided by the Issue Price, and a refund of the balance of the

relevant payment amount. All refunds will be made without interest. Refunds will not be paid for any

difference arising solely due to rounding or where the aggregate amount of the refund payable is less

than $5.00.

4. What is the Issue Price of the Shares?

The issue price of the Shares to be issued under the SPP is $0.065, being the price paid by investors

in WasteCo’s recent Placement.

The market price of the Shares may change between the date this SPP opens, the date you apply for

Shares under the SPP and the date on which Shares are allotted to you. As a result, the Issue Price

may be higher, equal to or lower than the price at which WCO’s Shares are trading on the NZX Main

Board at the time the Shares are allotted to you.


page 9

There is no certainty that Shares will trade at or above the Issue Price following the issue of Shares

under the SPP. Therefore, you should seek your own financial advice in relation to this SPP and your

participation under it. The current Share market price is quoted on the NZX website: www.nzx.com.

Further information about WCO, including its most recent financial statements, can be obtained from

WCO’s website: www.wasteco.co.nz. You may obtain, free of charge, the most recent annual report

and financial statements of WCO by contacting WCO (for details, please refer to the Directory). You

are also recommended to monitor WCO’s market announcements through the NZX website.

5. Do I have to participate?

No - participation in the SPP is entirely voluntary. However your shareholding in WCO will be diluted if

you do not participate in the SPP. If you do not wish to participate in the SPP, do nothing.

6. How do I apply for Shares under the SPP?

If you wish to participate in the SPP, you can apply online at https://wco.capitalraise.co.nz. You will

require your CSN / Holder Number and Entitlement Number to apply online.

Alternatively, you can request, complete and return a personalised Application Form. You should read

the instructions on the Application Form carefully.

Applications must be received by 5.00pm on 23 August 2023.

If the exact amount of money is not tendered, WCO reserves the right not to accept all or part of your

payment. In those circumstances, WCO will return your Application and refund all or part of your

payment (without interest).

If your Application is rejected, all of the amounts paid will be refunded to you. If your Application is

scaled back, you will receive the number of Shares in respect of which your Application is accepted at

the Issue Price and receive a refund of the balance of the relevant payment amount. All refunds will

be made without interest. Refunds will not be paid for any difference arising solely due to rounding or

where the aggregate amount of the refund payable to you is less than $5.00.

Once submitted, you will not be able to withdraw or revoke your Application.

7. How many Shares will I receive?

Subject to scaling, you will receive the number of Shares equal to the dollar amount of Shares you

have applied for divided by the Issue Price. If, once divided by the Issue Price, the dollar amount of

Shares you have applied for does not equal a whole number of Shares, the number of Shares allotted

to you will be rounded down to the nearest Share. Refunds will not be paid for any fractional

entitlements.

WCO has the ability to accept oversubscriptions for additional Shares from Eligible Shareholders, at

WCO's discretion, in accordance with the Listing Rules.

If WCO receives Applications for Shares in excess of $2.5 million, it will scale back the number of

Shares to be allotted to each applicant under the SPP as described in the answer to question 3 above

and in accordance with clause 8 of the Terms.

8. How long is the SPP open and when will I receive my Shares?

The SPP opens on 14 August 2023 and is expected to close at 5.00pm on 23 August 2023, unless

extended. If you want to participate you should ensure that your Application and payment (by direct

debit) is received by 5.00pm on the Closing Date. Applications received after this time may not be

accepted.


page 10

Online applications are encouraged. If you request a personalised Application Form and are returning

your Application Form by mail, please allow adequate time for mail deliveries.

You will receive Shares issued to you under the SPP on the Allotment Date, which is currently

expected to be on or around 30 August 2023. A statement confirming the number of Shares issued to

you under the SPP will be sent to you no later than 5 Business Days after the Allotment Date.

WCO may, subject to the Listing Rules and applicable laws, extend the Closing Date and the

Allotment Date.

9. Are there any conditions to the SPP?

No. However, if the SPP is cancelled for any reason, all application monies will be returned to

applicants and no Shares will be allotted under the SPP. No interest will be payable on any monies

returned to applicants.

10. What if I own Shares through a trustee or Custodian or own Shares in

more than one capacity?

If you own Shares through a trustee or Custodian, then, subject to certain certification requirements

and other conditions, you may instruct the trustee or Custodian to purchase Shares on your behalf up

to the $15,000 limit. If you own Shares through a trustee or Custodian and also own Shares in your

own name, then you may either purchase Shares yourself or instruct your trustee or Custodian to

purchase Shares on your behalf. You may not do both.

If you are a Custodian, or hold shares through a Custodian, please refer to clause 3 of the Terms.

11. Is this offer transferable to another person?

No. This offer is personal to you and you may not transfer your right to purchase Shares under the

SPP to anyone else.

12. Will the Shares be quoted?

The Shares will be quoted on the NZX Main Board. The NZX Main Board is a licensed market

operated by NZX Limited, which is a licensed market operator regulated under the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013. NZX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this document.

It is expected that you will be able to commence trading the Shares allotted to you under the SPP on

the NZX Main Board on the Allotment Date (being 30 August 2023, unless extended).

13. Why are shareholders outside New Zealand not eligible to participate in

the SPP?

Shareholders outside of New Zealand are not eligible to participate in the SPP because of legal

limitations in countries outside of New Zealand, the relatively small number of shareholders in those

other jurisdictions and the cost to WCO of complying with the regulatory requirements of those other

jurisdictions. WCO has determined, pursuant to the Listing Rules, that it would be unduly onerous to

extend the offer of Shares under the SPP to shareholders outside of New Zealand.

14. What are the risks of investing in the SPP and what if I choose not to

participate?

The market price for the Shares may change between the date the SPP opens, the date you apply for

Shares under the SPP, and the date on which the Shares are allotted to you. Accordingly:


page 11

• the price paid for Shares under the SPP may be higher or lower than the price at which Shares

are trading on the NZX at the time shares are issued under the SPP;

• the market price of new Shares following allotment may be higher or lower than the Issue Price;

and

• it is possible that up to or after the allotment of the new Shares, you may be able to buy Shares

at a lower price than the Issue Price.

The Share price is quoted on the NZX website: www.nzx.com under the ticker code "WCO".

While WasteCo has attempted to make the SPP as fair as possible for Eligible Shareholders by

providing for individual applications of up to NZ$15,000 of Shares, and by providing that any scaling

will be in reference to individual shareholdings at 5:00pm NZT on the Record Date, the SPP is not in

accordance with your proportionate shareholding. Even if you participate in the SPP, your

shareholding may change. Large shareholders may not be able to obtain sufficient Shares to maintain

their percentage shareholding, while smaller shareholders may be able to increase their percentage

shareholding. If you do not subscribe for any Shares under the SPP, and other shareholders do

subscribe for Shares, then your percentage shareholding in WasteCo will be reduced.

You should:

(a) seek your own financial advice in relation to the offer and your participation under the

SPP; and

(b) read the Investor Presentation in full, as it contains important information to assist you in

making an investment decision in respect of the SPP. In particular, you should read and

consider the information under the heading “Risk factors” in the Investor Presentation

before making an investment decision.

15. Further assistance

If you have any further questions, please contact your broker or financial, investment or other

professional advisor before making your investment decision.

If you have any questions about how to apply online or wish to request a personalised Application

Form, please contact the Share Registrar as set out in the Directory.


page 12

SPP terms

1. Eligible Shareholders

1.1 You may participate in the SPP if you are an Eligible Shareholder.

1.2 An Eligible Shareholder is a person who, at 5.00pm on the Record Date was recorded in the

share register of WCO as being a registered holder of Shares and having a registered address

in New Zealand, unless that person holds Shares on behalf of another person who resides

outside New Zealand. For the avoidance of doubt, shareholders who are in the United States or

who hold Shares on behalf of persons who are in the United States are not entitled to

participate in the SPP.

1.3 Joint holders of Shares are taken to be a single registered holder of Shares for the purposes of

determining whether they are an Eligible Shareholder and the certification on the online

application or the Application Form is taken to have been given by all of them.

1.4 If you are an Eligible Shareholder, your rights under this offer are personal to you and non-

renounceable, so you may not transfer them.

2. Issue Price and Number of Shares

2.1 The price of the Shares to be issued under the SPP is a fixed price of $0.065 per new Share.

2.2 Subject to clause 3.2, if you are an Eligible Shareholder you may elect to purchase an amount

of Shares up to $15,000 (with the ability to accept oversubscriptions at WCO's discretion).

2.3 If, once divided by the Issue Price, the dollar amount of Shares you have applied for (or are

allocated) does not equal a whole number of Shares, the number of Shares allotted to you will

be rounded down to the nearest Share (subject to scaling). Refunds will not be paid for any

fractional entitlements.

2.4 The number of Shares that you receive on the Allotment Date may be subject to scaling as

described in clause 8.

2.5 Eligible Shareholders may only apply for Shares having a maximum value of $15,000 (with the

ability to accept oversubscriptions at WCO's discretion). This applies to all Eligible

Shareholders, including those who receive more than one offer under the SPP (for example,

because they hold Shares in more than one capacity) and including whether the Eligible

Shareholder is applying through a Custodian or on his or her own behalf.

2.6 If you own Shares through a trustee or Custodian and also own shares in your own name then

you may either purchase Shares yourself or instruct your trustee or Custodian to purchase

shares on your behalf. You may not do both.

3. Custodians

3.1 Any Eligible Shareholder that:

(a) is a trustee corporation or a nominee company and holds Shares in WCO by reason only

of acting for another person in the ordinary course of business of that trustee corporation

or nominee company; or

(b) holds Shares in WCO by reason only of being a bare trustee of a trust to which the

Shares are subject and is permitted to operate as a Custodian under all relevant laws,


page 13

is a Custodian under the SPP.

3.2 Custodians may apply to purchase Shares under this SPP but only up to the total value of

Shares it is validly directed to apply for on behalf of each beneficial owner for whom the

Custodian acts as a Custodian. Custodians must confirm to WCO that they are holding Shares

as a Custodian for those beneficial owners by providing the written certification to WCO

described in clause 3.3 below. Each beneficial owner may only direct the Custodian to a

separate online application or Application Form to apply on behalf of that beneficial owner for

Shares as described in clauses 2.4 and 2.5.

3.3 If a Custodian applies to purchase Shares on behalf of one or more beneficial owners, the

Custodian certifies to WCO in writing by validly completing the online application or Application

Form that:

(a) the Custodian holds Shares directly or indirectly as a Custodian for beneficial owners;

(b) the beneficial owner on whose behalf the Custodian is submitting an Application is not

making a separate application as an Eligible Shareholder for Shares under the SPP;

(c) each beneficial owner (or the beneficial owner’s agent) has instructed the Custodian to

apply for, and accept, under the SPP the dollar amount of Shares set out in the

Application; and

(d) no other Custodian is submitting an application under the SPP for that beneficial owner.

3.4 WCO will issue Shares to a Custodian only if it is reasonably satisfied that the total issue price

of Shares issued to any beneficial owner is not more than $15,000 (with the ability to accept

oversubscriptions at WCO's discretion), whether or not those Shares are issued through a

Custodian or, if the beneficial owner is also a shareholder in WCO, in that beneficial owner's

own right as a shareholder.

3.5 Each Custodian must not participate in the SPP on behalf of, and must not distribute this

document or any other documents relating to this SPP to, any person in the United States.

4. Completing an Application and paying for Shares

4.1 If you wish to participate in the SPP, you must complete your Application online at

https://wco.capitalraise.co.nz and make payment in accordance with the instructions provided

(payment must be by direct debit in accordance with the instructions set out in the Application).

Alternatively, you can request, complete and return a personalised Application Form (including

the direct debit form for payment) in accordance with the instructions on the Application Form.

4.2 To be valid, Applications must be received by the Share Registrar by 5.00pm on 23 August

2023 (being the Closing Date). Applications received after that date will only be accepted at

WCO's discretion. Shareholders applying via the Application Form should follow the instructions

on the Application Form carefully.

5. WCO’s discretion to accept or reject Applications

5.1 WCO has complete discretion to accept or reject your Application to purchase Shares under the

SPP, including (without limitation) if:

(a) your online application or Application Form is incorrectly completed, incomplete or

otherwise determined by WCO to be invalid;

(b) your payment is dishonoured or has not been completed correctly;

(c) it appears that you are applying to subscribe for Shares with a value of more than

$15,000 (subject to any oversubscription amount approved by WCO in its discretion)

including as a result of Shares you hold directly, jointly or through a Custodian or

nominee arrangement (except if you are a Custodian applying on behalf of more than one

beneficial owner in accordance with clause 3);

(d) your Application is received after 5.00pm on 23 August 2023 (being the Closing Date

unless extended). While WCO has discretion to accept late applications and payment,

will be returned to you at your registered address within 5 Business Days of the Allotment

Date or within 5 Business Days of the date of receipt in respect of any late applications

received after the Allotment Date;

(e) WCO believes that you are not an Eligible Shareholder or Custodian; or

(f) WCO considers that your Application does not otherwise comply with these Terms or any

applicable laws or regulatory requirements, or the acceptance of it would cause WCO to

breach any applicable laws or regulatory requirements.

5.2 No interest will be paid on any application monies returned to you. Application monies may be

direct debited by the Share Registrar on any day after your Application is received. Any refunds

for whatever reason will be paid to you by direct credit only to your bank account (if those details

are held by the Share Registrar) within 5 Business Days of the Allotment Date.

5.3 WCO reserves the right to scale back at its absolute discretion any Application for Shares under

the SPP. WCO reserves the right to terminate the SPP and reject all Applications at any time

before the issue of the Shares on the Allotment Date.

6. Significance of submitting or sending an Application

6.1 If you apply to purchase Shares under the SPP, by completing an online application or

requesting, completing returning an Application Form:

(iv) any other Shares issued to a Custodian under an arrangement similar to the SPP

in the 12 months before the date of your Application for Shares under the SPP as a

result of an instruction given by you to that Custodian or another Custodian and

which resulted in you holding the beneficial interest in the Shares,

subject to any oversubscriptions accepted at the discretion of WCO;

(g) you agree to be bound by the constitution of WCO, which you may download for free from

the Companies Office website https://companies-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz/;

(h) you authorise WCO (and its officers or agents) to correct any error in, or omission from,

your Application and to complete your Application by the insertion of any missing details;

(i) you acknowledge that WCO may at any time irrevocably determine that your Application

errors or is otherwise defective;

investment advice or financial product advice, and that none of them has an obligation to

provide advice concerning your decision to apply for and purchase Shares under the

SPP;

(k) you acknowledge that WCO may disclose any information in or relating to your

Application to the Share Registrar in connection with its management of the SPP;

(l) you acknowledge the risk that the market price for the Shares may change between the

date of this offer and the Allotment Date. A change in market price during this period may

affect the value of the Shares you received under the SPP;

(m) you acknowledge that WCO is not liable for any exercise of its discretions referred to in

these Terms; and

(n) you irrevocably and unconditionally agree to these Terms and agree not to do any act or

thing which would be contrary to the spirit, intention or purpose of the SPP.

6.2 If a Custodian applies to subscribe for Shares under the SPP for a beneficial owner pursuant to

clause 3, the certificate referred to in clause 6.1(f) will be taken to be given by each beneficial

owner on whose behalf the Custodian is applying to subscribe for Shares.

7. Issue Price

7.1 You agree to pay the Issue Price per Share up to the maximum amount you have specified on

your online application or the Application Form.

8. Scaling

8.1 If WCO receives Applications in excess of $2.5 million, it may accept oversubscriptions at its

discretion and may scale back Applications having regard to the number of shares held by the

applicant (or, in the case of an Application made by a Custodian, the relevant beneficial

owner(s) named in the schedule submitted with the Application) on the Record Date and

otherwise at WCO's discretion.

8.2 If your Application is scaled, your application monies will be greater than the value of the Shares

you will be allotted. The difference will be refunded to you by direct credit within 5 Business

Days of the Allotment Date, provided that any difference less than $5.00 will be retained by

WCO and not refunded. No interest will be paid on any application monies returned to you.

9. The Shares

9.1 Shares issued under the SPP will rank equally with, and have the same voting rights, dividend

rights and other entitlements as, existing fully paid Shares in WCO quoted on the NZX Main

Board as at the Allotment Date.

9.2 The Shares to be issued under the SPP have been accepted for quotation on the NZX Main

Board with effect on or shortly after the Allotment Date. WCO will take any necessary steps to

ensure that the Shares issued are, immediately after the issue, quoted on the NZX Main Board.

9.3 You cannot trade in any Shares issued to you pursuant to the SPP, either as principal or agent,

until quotation on the NZX Main Board in accordance with the Listing Rules. WCO expects that

the Shares will commence trading on the NZX Main Board on the Allotment Date. NZX accepts

no responsibility for any statement in this document.

9.4 The issue of Shares under the SPP up to a value of $15,000 per Eligible Shareholder (or per

beneficial owner, in the case of holdings held by Custodians) is being undertaken under Listing

Rule 4.3.1(c).

10. Amendments to the SPP and waiver of compliance

10.1 Notwithstanding any other term or condition of the SPP and/or the Application Form, WCO may,

at its discretion:

(a) make non-material modifications to the SPP or these Terms without notice (in which case

Applications for Shares under the SPP will remain binding on the applicant

notwithstanding such modification and irrespective of whether an Application was

received by the Share Registrar before or after such modification is made); and/or

(b) suspend or terminate the SPP at any time before the issue of the Shares under the SPP

(including by reviewing the timetable for the SPP). If the SPP is terminated, application

monies will be refunded to applicants without interest within 5 Business Days of

termination.

10.2 WCO reserves the right to waive compliance with any provision of these Terms, which will be

done in accordance with New Zealand law (including the Listing Rules).

11. Governing Law

11.1 These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New Zealand.

12. Dispute Resolution

12.1 If any dispute arises in connection with the SPP, WCO may settle it in any manner it thinks fit. It

may do so generally or in relation to any particular shareholder, applicant, Application or Share.

WCO’s decision will be final and binding.

13. Inconsistency

13.1 Unless otherwise determined by the directors of WCO, in the event of any inconsistency

between these Terms and:

(a) the accompanying letter from the Chairman of WCO, the Terms prevail; and
