SECTION 4: TERMS AND CONDITIONS


Capitalised terms have the meaning attributed to them in the Glossary at the end of this booklet.


1. Offer Eligibility

1.1 This Offer is open to all retail investors residing in New Zealand. This Offer is not available

to investors outside of New Zealand.

1.2 Applicants may only make a single application for Shares (in the case of Applications

through a custodian, by each beneficial owner) under the Offer. Joint holders of Shares are

taken to be a single registered holder of Shares for the purposes of determining whether

they are an Existing Shareholder or a Non-Shareholder.

2. Issue Price and Application

2.1 The Issue Price for Shares under this Offer is $0.51 per Share. All references to dollars in

this Offer Document are in New Zealand dollars.

2.2 Existing Shareholders and Non-Shareholders may apply for up to $5,000 of Shares, with

the ability to oversubscribe for further shares. Any fractional Shares allocated under the

Offer will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares.

2.3 Any Shares issued to Non-Shareholders are issued in accordance with NZX Listing Rule

4.5.1.

2.4 Shares issued to Existing Shareholders are issued in accordance with NZX Listing Rule

4.3.1(c) and should the limited in that rule be exceeded, NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1.

million Shares, having an aggregate value of $2,875,926.72 at the Allotment Date.

3. Oversubscription Facility and Scaling

3.1 Applicants who apply for $5,000 of Shares may also apply for any number of additional

Shares at the same Issue Price under the Oversubscription Facility. The Oversubscription

Facility is subject to Shortfall availability and scaling.

3.2 Without limiting Blackpearl Group’s absolute discretion, Blackpearl Group expects to apply

scaling in the following situations:

(a) Pro-Rata Scale Back of Non-Shareholders: In the event that there are sufficient

Shares available in the Offer to satisfy all Existing Shareholder applications but

insufficient to meet all Non-Shareholder applications, Non-Shareholder

applications will be scaled back on a pro rata basis and all Existing Shareholder

applications will be accepted in full.

(b) Proportionate Scaling of Existing Shareholders: If there are insufficient Shares

available to satisfy all Existing Shareholder applications, all Non-Shareholder

applications will be refused and Existing Shareholders will be scaled back to the




7

extent permissible to allow each Existing Shareholder to receive up to $5,000 of

Shares with the Oversubscription Facility and scaled back by reference to each

Existing Shareholder’s shareholding in Blackpearl Group on the Record Date.

3.3 In either circumstance, each Application may be scaled differently between Applicants.

Some Applicants may not be scaled or scaled by a small or large proportion. Without

limiting Blackpearl Group’s absolute discretion, Blackpearl Group will prioritise Existing

Shareholder applications over Non-Shareholder Applications.

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

Blackpearl Group’s share register as being a registered holder of Shares and is resident in

New Zealand. Non-Shareholders are Applicants who are not Existing Shareholders.

3.5 If the calculation above produces a fractional number, the number of Shares you will be

allotted will be rounded down to the nearest whole number of Shares. If a scale back is

applied, application monies received may be greater than the value of the Shares actually

allotted. The difference between the value of the Shares allotted and application monies

received will be refunded to applicants within 10 Business Days of the Closing Date. No

interest will be paid on refunded monies.

4. Custodian

beneficial owners by providing the written certification to the Registry described in clause

4.3 below. Each beneficial owner may direct the Custodian to apply on behalf of that
