In connection with the initial public offering of WIN (the Offer) Korama Limited as trustee
of the Amarok Trust (Korama), JWAJ Limited as trustee of the Weka Trust (Weka), Wanaka
Partners, LLC and TC Akarua Pty 2 Ltd as trustee of the TC Akarua Sub Trust (Akarua Sub

immediately upon completion of the Offer in the case of Akarua Sub Trust):
2
• in the case of each shareholder other than Korama, until the business day after
WIN releases to NZX its results announcement for the financial year ended 30 June
2023 in respect of 75% of such shares, with the remaining 25% free to be sold at
any time; and
• in the case of Korama until the business day after WIN releases to NZX its results
announcement for the financial year ended 30 June 2023 in respect of 100% of
such shares, with 90% of such shares remaining unable to be sold until the earlier
of: (i) the business day after Akarua Sub Trust sells 10% of the shares it holds as
at the date of release of WIN’s results announcement for the financial year ended
31 June 2023; and (ii) the business day after release of WIN’s results
announcement for the financial half year ended 31 December 2025 (being the
fourth anniversary of completion of the Offer).
In addition, WIN agreed to issue shares to selected employees in recognition of their past
service to WIN. Those shares were subject to standard escrow conditions and were not
able to be sold until the business day after the publication of WIN’s results for the financial
year ended 30 June 2023.
On 22 August 2023, WIN released its results announcement for the financial year ended 30
June 2023 to NZX. Accordingly, the following shares were released from the escrow
restrictions described above and WIN no longer has a relevant interest in those shares:
• Korama: 16,259,300 ordinary shares
• Weka: 10,905,543 ordinary shares
• Wanaka Partners, LLC: 21,512,250 ordinary shares
• Akarua Sub Trust: 38,590,173 ordinary shares
• Simon Ash: 235,400 ordinary shares
• Justine Hollows: 156,933 ordinary shares
• Jean McMahon: 156,933 ordinary shares
• Other selected employees: 204,012 ordinary shares
Akarua Sub Trust has not sold 10% of the shares it held as at 22 August 2023 (being the
date of release of WIN’s results announcement for the financial year ended 30 June 2023)
and accordingly WIN retains a relevant interest in 146,333,700 shares held by Korama
which remain subject to the escrow restrictions outlined above.
