Details of transactions and events giving rise to relevant event
As disclosed in a previous event disclosure dated 17 November 2023 (Prior SPH), Akarua Sub Trust
entered into a share sale agreement (SSA) (a copy of which is attached to the Prior SPH) with
Wanaka Partners, LLC (WPLLC) on 17 November 2023, 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). Before entering into the Transaction, the Akarua Sub Trust had (i) a
relevant interest in 51,453,564 ordinary shares in WIN for which the 2023 Investor Entities and
other investors are beneficial owners (IPO Shares), as referred to in the Prior SPH, and (ii) other
relevant interests as referred to in the Prior SPH.
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 (Tranche 1 Shares), occurred on 2
December 2023 and constitutes the relevant event to which this notice relates. The sale of the
second tranche of Sale Shares, being 6,991,166 Sale Shares (Tranche 2 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 S hares
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 the Tranche 1 Shares and will become the registered holder of the Tranche
2 Shares when the transfer of the Tranche 2 Shares is completed as described above.
3
MREMAL has a relevant interest in the Total Shares by virtue of (in some circumstances) having
the power to control the acquisition of the Tranche 2 Shares, or the disposal of the IPO Shares,
the Tranche 1 Shares and (following completion of the purchase of the Tranche 2 Shares) the
Tranche 2 Shares, by the Akarua Sub Trust. MREMAL’s relevant interest arises under an
investment management contract under which 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 are the beneficial owners of the Tranche 1 Shares; will, following
completion of the purchase of the Tranche 2 Shares, also be the beneficial owners of the Tranche
2 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 Tranche 1 Shares and the future beneficial owners of
the Tranche 2 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 the Tranche 1 Shares and will (in some
circumstances) have the power to control the disposal of the Tranche 2 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
and Tranche 1 Shares; Wanaka Partners, LLC in respect of the Tranche 2 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
4
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.
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
(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
