When considering the information on the following pages, it’s important to note share compliance was put on hold during the two-year capital structure
consultation period and this is reflected in some of the metrics. Furthermore, the level of shares held by Ceased Shareholders is not necessarily a reflection of lost
supply to the Co-operative.
1.The number of shares linked to Ceased Shareholders reflects the number of shares linked to farm sales within a year. Typically, the majority offarms that are
sold continue to supply the Co-operative under the new owner. Therefore, the milk solids linked to Ceased Shareholders are not necessarily lost to the
Co-operative, but the shares become uncoupled from the original supplying farm. Historically around 60 –90 million shares shift from being linked to a
Supplying Shareholder to a Ceased Shareholder at the end of each season.
2.Under the Flexible Shareholding capital structure, new shareholders have up to six seasons to reach their minimum holding of shares, while shareholders at
the time of the capital structure vote have up to 15 seasons to share down after they cease to supply the Co-operative. Given the change in the minimum
shareholding requirement, it is possible to see a proportion of shares held by non-supplying shareholders for a longer period.
