FINAL TERMS SHEET

PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND, PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

FOR AN OFFER OF TWO SERIES OF SUBORDINATED CONVERTIBLE NOTES

This terms sheet should be read together with the Product Disclosure Statement dated 1 September 2023 (PDS) for the offer of two

series of subordinated convertible notes by Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited (Offer). The PDS is available at

www.precinctnotesoffer.co.nz or can be obtained from the Joint Lead Managers or your usual financial advisor. Investors must obtain

a copy of the PDS before they apply for Notes.

Capitalised terms used but not defined in this terms sheet have the meanings given to them in the PDS.

IssuerPrecinct Properties New Zealand Limited (Precinct NZ).

DescriptionSubordinated convertible notes in two series (the 2026 Notes and the 2027 Notes, and together the

Notes). 

Subject to a Cash Election by Precinct NZ as described below, the Notes will Convert into ordinary

shares in Precinct NZ.

If Precinct NZ issues shares on Conversion, Precinct Properties Investments Limited (Precinct

Investments), must issue a corresponding number of fully paid ordinary shares for no consideration.

The Precinct NZ and Precinct Investments shares will be stapled under the Stapling Deed described

below (Stapled Shares).

About the Precinct NZ Group

and the Stapled Structure

The Precinct NZ Group includes Precinct NZ and the companies that it owns.

The Precinct NZ Group is part of the Precinct Properties Group, which includes Precinct NZ and

Precinct Investments together and any companies that either of them own. The Precinct Properties

Group is a stapled structure pursuant to a stapling deed dated 7 June 2023 (Stapling Deed). A stapled

structure comprises two listed parent companies whose shares are held by the same shareholders in

equal proportions. The shares in each parent company are "stapled" together, meaning they can

only be transferred or dealt with together. Each Stapled Share comprises one ordinary share of

Precinct NZ and one ordinary share of Precinct Investments.

The Precinct NZ Group, and the Precinct Properties Group of which it is part, is New Zealand’s only

listed city centre real estate specialist, investing predominantly in premium and A-Grade city centre

real estate.

Subordinated Guarantee

The Notes are guaranteed by Precinct Investments under a Subordinated Guarantee.  Precinct

Investments is not a member of the Precinct NZ Group but is a member of the Precinct Properties

Group and is an associated person of Precinct NZ.

The Subordinated Guarantee is not limited or subject to conditions.

The Subordinated Guarantee does not have the benefit of any security and is subordinated. This

means that Precinct Investments’ obligations under the Subordinated Guarantee will be subordinated

to its unsubordinated obligations (including its secured obligations as guarantor of Precinct NZ’s bank

borrowing, USPP Notes and Secured Bonds, and to trade creditors).

Purpose

The proceeds of the Offer (net of issue costs) are expected to be used to repay existing bank debt

and for general corporate purposes.

No credit ratings

The Notes will not be rated.

Issue size

$150,000,000 of Notes, made up of:

• $65,000,000 of 2026 Notes; and

• $85,000,000 of 2027 Notes.

Issue price

$1.00 per Note, being the Principal Amount of each Note.

Term

2026 Notes: 3 years with a Conversion Date of 21 September 2026.

2027 Notes: 4 years with a Conversion Date of 21 September 2027.

Conversion DateFor 2026 Notes: 21 September 2026.

For 2027 Notes: 21 September 2027.

The Notes may Convert before the relevant Conversion Date in some circumstances. See the “Early

Conversion” section below for further information.

03
FINAL TERMS SHEET

Conversion

On the relevant Conversion Date, all outstanding Notes in a series will be Converted and Stapled

Shares will be issued, subject to a Cash Election.

The number of Stapled Shares to be issued following Conversion of each holding of Notes will be

determined by dividing their Principal Amount (together with any Unpaid Interest (and any interest

thereon)) by the Conversion Price, which is the lesser of:

1. the Conversion Price Cap of:

• for the 2026 Notes: $1.36; and

• for the 2027 Notes: $1.40; and

2. the Market Price (calculated as per the statement below).

The Market Price is determined based on the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted

average price of Stapled Shares on the NZX Main Board in the 20 Business Days prior to (but not

including) each Conversion Announcement Date, as described in section 6 of the PDS (

Key features

of the Notes

).

The Conversion Announcement Date is 5 Business Days before the relevant Conversion Date.

The Conversion Price Cap may be adjusted in certain circumstances as further described in the PDS.

Please refer to the PDS for example scenarios of Conversion at different Market Prices.

Conversion Price Cap

Adjustments

The Conversion Price Cap will be adjusted for bonus issues, rights issues, placements or Share

Purchase Plans and divisions as described further in the PDS.

However, no adjustments will be made in respect of any actions pursuant to a dividend reinvestment

plan, any further issuances of convertible notes, or any other transactions which may affect the price

of the Stapled Shares (including, for example, any return of capital, buy back or cash dividend paid

by Precinct NZ or Precinct Investments).

Cash Election

Rather than Converting a series of Notes, Precinct NZ may elect to instead pay a cash amount to

Noteholders at the end of the term.  In this case, Noteholders would be paid an amount equal to the

Market Price (calculated as set out above) of all the Stapled Shares that would have otherwise been

issued to them on Conversion of their Notes, so that they receive an equivalent value to those

Stapled Shares (as determined under the terms of the Notes) and will similarly benefit from any

appreciation of the Stapled Share price above the relevant Conversion Price Cap prior to the

Conversion Date.

Precinct NZ may only elect to pay the cash amount if it is not insolvent and no event of default in

respect of borrowed money is continuing (and Precinct NZ would not become insolvent, and no such

event of default would occur, as a result of making such payment) (the Payment Condition).

Precinct NZ will announce whether it intends to make a Cash Election for a series of Notes via NZX on

or before the Conversion Announcement Date, being the date that is 5 Business Days before the

relevant Conversion Date.

FINAL TERMS SHEET

FINAL TERMS SHEET (CONTINUED)

PRECINCT PROPERTIES NEW ZEALAND, PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

Early Conversion

The Notes may be Converted prior to the relevant Conversion Date:

• after an Event of Default;

• at the Noteholders’ option after a Compulsory Acquisition Event; or

• at Precinct NZ’s option after a Tax Event,

as described further in the PDS.

A Compulsory Acquisition Event will occur if any person (or persons acting jointly or in concert)

become bound, or become entitled and elect, to compulsorily acquire Stapled Shares held by

minority Shareholders, whether following a takeover offer, a scheme of arrangement or otherwise

(except for the interposition of a non-operating holding company or similar, as described further in

the PDS).

Broadly, a Tax Event will occur if there has been, or there will be, a change in New Zealand law

applying after the Issue Date, as a result of which:

• any interest payable on the Notes is not, or will not be, allowed as a deduction for the purposes of

New Zealand income tax; or

• Precinct NZ would be, or is likely to be, exposed to any other adverse tax consequence in relation

to any Notes,

provided such event is not minor and Precinct NZ did not expect such event on the Issue Date.

The Cash Election does not apply to any Conversion before the Conversion Date.

Interest Rate

The Interest Rate has been set at:

• for the 2026 Notes: 7.56% per annum; and

• for the 2027 Notes: 7.53% per annum.

The Interest Rate for both series of Notes equals the sum of the issue margin and the Swap Rate.

Issue margin

The issue margin is:

• for the 2026 Notes: 2.40% per annum; and

• for the 2027 Notes: 2.55% per annum.

Swap Rate

The mid-market 3-year swap rate (adjusted to a quarterly basis as necessary) in respect of the 2026

Notes and the mid-market 4-year swap rate (adjusted to a quarterly basis as necessary) in respect of

the 2027 Notes, in each case for a term commencing on the Issue Date and determined on the Rate

Set Date by Precinct NZ in conjunction with the Arranger in accordance with market convention, by

reference to Bloomberg page ICNZ4 (or any successor page) (rounded to 2 decimal places if

necessary, with 0.005 rounded up).

Interest Payment Dates

Quarterly in arrear in equal amounts on 21 March, 21 June, 21 September and 21 December each

year (or if that day is not a Business Day, the next Business Day) until and including the relevant

Conversion Date, with the first Interest Payment Date being 21 December 2023.

Interest payments may be suspended in certain circumstances as described below.

Interest suspension

Payments of interest on the Notes will be suspended if Precinct NZ does not meet the Payment

Condition (as described above) in respect of such interest.

Any suspended interest payment (Unpaid Interest) will accumulate and interest will accrue on it at the

Interest Rate (compounding on each Interest Payment Date) until paid.  No dividend or other return

will be made to Shareholders while any interest on the Notes is suspended.

Unpaid Interest is required to be paid within 5 Business Days after Precinct NZ meets the Payment

Condition in respect of such interest.  Any Unpaid Interest (including any interest thereon) will be

added to the Principal Amount on Conversion.

Record Date

The record date for interest payments is 5pm (New Zealand time) on the date that is 10 days before

the relevant Interest Payment Date or, if that is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding

Business Day.

Retail Brokerage

0.50% retail brokerage plus 0.50% on retail firm allocations paid by Precinct NZ. No firm fees will be

paid on allocations made in the Shareholder Priority Offer but brokerage of 0.50% will be paid.

whom an offer of securities can be made without disclosure in accordance with applicable

exemptions in sections 708(8) (sophisticated investors) or 708(11) (professional investors) of the
