NZX/ASX release

9 April 2024


Successful completion of institutional component of

Heartland’s 1 for 6.85 entitlement offer and NZ$105 million

placement


Heartland Group Holdings Limited (Heartland) (NZX/ASX: HGH) is pleased to announce that it has

successfully completed the institutional entitlement offer component (Institutional Entitlement

Offer) of its NZ$105 million underwritten 1 for 6.85 pro-rata accelerated non-renounceable

entitlement offer (Entitlement Offer) and its NZ$105 million underwritten placement (Placement)

announced on 8 April 2024. A total of NZ$210 million will be raised under the Entitlement Offer and

Placement.


The Placement and Institutional Entitlement Offer closed on Tuesday 9 April 2024 and raised gross

proceeds of approximately NZ$131 million with strong support from Heartland’s existing

institutional shareholders and new institutional investors. In respect of the Institutional Entitlement

Offer, eligible institutional shareholders elected to take up 98% of their entitlements. All existing

eligible institutional shareholders who bid for their pro-rata allocation of the Placement were

allocated at least that amount of new shares.


Heartland’s shares are expected to resume normal trading on the NZX and ASX today on an ex-

entitlement basis. The new fully paid ordinary shares in Heartland (New Shares) offered under the

Placement and the Institutional Entitlement Offer are expected to be allotted and commence trading

on the NZX and ASX on Monday 15 April 2024 and will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary

shares.


Retail entitlement offer

The retail component of the Entitlement Offer (Retail Entitlement Offer) will open on Thursday 11

April 2024 and close at 5.00pm NZST (3.00pm AEST) on Monday 22 April 2024.


The Retail Entitlement Offer is available to eligible retail shareholders at the same application price

as the Placement and Institutional Entitlement Offer of NZ$1.00 per New Share (or the A$ Price of

A$0.9151 per New Share).


Eligible retail shareholders who have taken up all of their Entitlements in full may apply for

additional New Shares, up to a maximum amount of New Shares equal to 100% of their

entitlements. This means that in the event of a shortfall under the Retail Entitlement Offer, those

eligible retail shareholders may be able to offset any dilution experienced as a result of the

Placement.


An offer document will be sent to eligible retail shareholders on Thursday 11 April 2024 and is

available on the website established for the Retail Entitlement Offer at

www.heartlandshareoffer.co.nz. All eligible retail shareholders are encouraged to visit that website

and apply online from Thursday 11 April 2024.
