Details of transactions and events giving rise to relevant event
On 17 November 2023, Akarua Sub Trust entered into a share sale agreement (SSA) (attached to
this notice) with Wanaka Partners, LLC (WPLLC) under which WPLLC agreed to sell, and Akarua
Sub Trust agreed to purchase, 14,830,687 ordinary shares in WIN (Sale Shares) at NZ$2.50 per
share (Transaction). The Transaction comprises a transfer of the Sale Shares in two tranches.
Settlement of the first tranche of the Sale Shares, being 7,839,521 Sale Shares, is expected to be
effected on or around 1 December 2023. The sale of the second tranche of Sale Shares, being
6,991,166 Sale Shares, is conditional on the approval of WIN shareholders being obtained by an
ordinary resolution under rule 7(c) of the Schedule to the Takeovers Regulations 2000
(Shareholders' Approval) and consent being obtained in accordance with WIN’s Securities Trading
Policy (Consent to Trade) (as individuals associated with Akarua Sub Trust and WPLLC are
directors or alternate directors on the WIN board). Pursuant to the SSA, and subject to obtaining
Shareholders' Approval and Consent to Trade, it is expected that the settlement of the second
tranche of Sale Shares will occur 10 business days after obtaining Shareholders' Approval and
Consent to Trade.
There has been no change to the relevant interests held by the Akarua Sub Trust, MREMAL, the
2023 Investor Entities and Al Sariya in relation to a restricted security agreement over WIN shares
for which Korama Limited is the registered holder.
Details after relevant event
Details for MREMAL, the 2023 Investor Entities and Al Sariya – in relation to the Total Shares
Nature of relevant interest(s):
Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited as custodian for the Akarua Sub Trust is the registered holder
of the IPO Shares and will become the registered holder of the Sale Shares when the transfers of
the relevant tranches are completed as described above.
MREMAL has a relevant interest in the Total Shares by virtue of (in some circumstances) having
the power to control the acquisition of the Sale Shares, or the disposal of the IPO Shares and
(following completion of the relevant tranches) the Sale Shares, by the Akarua Sub Trust.
MREMAL’s relevant interest arises under an investment management contract under which
3
MREMAL manages the Akarua Sub Trust. That investment management contract need not be
disclosed with this notice (in accordance with regulation 142 of the FMC Regulations).
The 2023 Investor Entities will, following completion of the relevant tranches, be the beneficial
owners of the Sale Shares and, together with other entities, are the beneficial owners of the IPO
Shares. In some circumstances, they have (or will have, as applicable) the power to control the
disposal of the Total Shares by the Akarua Sub Trust. MREIH also has a right to instruct MREMAL
to the extent it acts as trustee for Staff Investors. The 2023 Investor Entities’ relevant interests
(other than as beneficial owners of the IPO Shares and the future beneficial owners of the Sale
Shares) arise under investment management contract(s), which need not be disclosed with this
notice (in accordance with regulation 142 of the FMC Regulations).
Material investment decisions in respect of TC Feeder LP are made by Al Sariya under an
investment management contract which need not be disclosed with this notice (in accordance
with regulation 142 of the FMC Regulations), so Al Sariya (in some circumstances) has the power
to control the disposal of the IPO Shares and will (in some circumstances) have the power to
control the disposal of the Sale Shares.
For that relevant interest,—
(a) number held in class: 66,284,251
(b) percentage held in class: 22.347%
(c) current registered holder(s): Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited in respect of the IPO
Shares; Wanaka Partners, LLC in respect of the Sale Shares
(d) registered holder(s) once transfers are registered: Perpetual Corporate Trust Limited
For a derivative relevant interest, also—
(a) type of derivative: Not applicable
(b) details of derivative: Not applicable
(c) parties to the derivative: Not applicable
(d) if the substantial product holder is not a party to the derivative, the nature of the relevant
interest in the derivative: Not applicable
Details for Akarua Sub Trust, MREMAL, the 2023 Investor Entities and Al Sariya – in relation to the
Korama Shares
Nature of relevant interest(s):
The relevant interest in respect of the Korama Shares arises under the restricted security
agreement between Korama Limited and WIN, under which Korama Limited agrees not to dispose
of more than 10% of the shares held by it at the date of quotation of WIN’s ordinary shares, in a
period which in part depends on the number of IPO Shares held by the Akarua Sub Trust. A copy
of that agreement is attached to the event disclosure given by WIN on 17 December 2021.
Because of the arrangements referred to above in respect of the Total Shares, each of the Akarua
Sub Trust, MREMAL, the 2023 Investor Entities and Al Sariya therefore has a relevant interest in
the Korama Shares as well.
4
For that relevant interest,—
(a) number held in class: 146,333,700
(b) percentage held in class: 49.335%
(c) current registered holder(s): Korama Limited
(d) registered holder(s) once transfers are registered: Not applicable
For a derivative relevant interest, also—
(a) type of derivative: Not applicable
(b) details of derivative: Not applicable

Nature of connection between substantial product holders: MREMAL is the manager of, and the
2023 Investor Entities are (together with other entities) the investors in a pooled investment
vehicle which holds the IPO Shares, and will hold the Sale Shares, via the Akarua Sub Trust. To
the extent that MREMAL holds any interests in that pooled investment vehicle as trustee for Staff
Investors, MREIH is the manager of that trust. Al Sariya is the sole limited partner of TC Feeder
LP.

7. Limitation of Liability
7.1 Limitation of Liability: The maximum aggregate liability of the Vendor to the Purchaser in
respect of any Claim against the Vendor in respect of the warranties in clause 6.1 or otherwise
arising under this agreement shall not exceed the Purchase Price.
7.2 Thresholds and time limits: The Vendor will not be liable for any Claim unless the Purchaser
has given written notice of the Claim (including reasonable details of the facts, matters and
circumstances giving rise to the Claim to the extent the Purchaser is aware of them) to the
Vendor not later than 18 months after Completion.
7.3 Trustee limitation of liability: The liability of TC Akarua 2 Pty Ltd (the Trustee) under or in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is limited to those assets
of the TC Akarua Sub Trust (Aus) (the Trust) at the time the liability is enforced, which are in
the hands of the Trustee as trustee and available to the Trustee by way of indemnity. However,
if due to a breach of trust involving the dishonesty, wilful misconduct or gross negligence of
the Trustee, any party claiming under or in connection with this agreement is unable to
recover from the assets for the time being of the Trust all or any money properly payable to
that party, then that party may seek to recover that money from the assets of that Trustee.
But in doing so, that party may only recover the amount (if any) by which the value of the
Trust assets has been diminished due to the breach of trust.
