Update on Multi Policy Discount Customer Remediation

Tower Limited today provides an update on progress with its multi-policy discount customer

remediation.


Tower has made substantial progress in refunding customers who did not receive their correct

multi-policy discounts with $6.2m excluding GST paid to affected customers as of 31 October 2023.


Tower now expects that its costs associated with this remediation will be approximately $11.2m

excluding GST, an increase from $6.2m at the half year. This allows for amounts to be repaid to

around 65,000 customers and includes an estimate of a regulatory penalty from potential

enforcement action, following Tower's self-reporting of the matter to the Financial Markets

Authority (FMA) and the FMA's subsequent investigation. Tower will keep the market updated on

developments in this respect.


Tower’s FY23 underlying profit guidance remains unchanged.


Tower CEO Blair Turnbull says, “Tower is focused on putting things right for customers who have

received incorrect discounts extending back to 2016. We sincerely apologise to those who have

been affected.


“We are redesigning and simplifying our multi-policy offering and expect to share more about this

change in the coming year,” he says.

This announcement has been authorised by Tower Chief Executive, Blair Turnbull.
