NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
Equity Raising Announcement
Auckland, 23 September 2024: Fletcher Building Limited (“Fletcher Building” or the
“Company”) has announced today a NZ$700 million equity raising (“Equity Raising”)
comprising a fully underwritten c.NZ$282 million institutional placement (“Placement”)
and c.NZ$418 million pro rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer
(“Entitlement Offer”).
The Equity Raising is being undertaken as a prudent measure to strengthen the
Company’s balance sheet and improve financial stability and resilience in the current
challenging environment.
Whilst the Company expects that market conditions will eventually recover, an
improved financial position:
• Allows the Company to focus on operational performance;
• Preserves optionality in relation to its portfolio and reduces short term pressure
to realise assets at below intrinsic value.
Upon completion of the Equity Raising, Fletcher Building’s pro forma leverage
1
at 30
June 2024 reduces from 1.99x to 1.22x, which supports our commitment to maintaining
an investment grade credit rating and covenant headroom under our debt facilities.
CEO commentary
Incoming Group Managing Director and CEO Andrew Reding commented: “We believe
the equity raising bolsters our financial position, assisting us to better endure near-term
market headwinds. With a strengthened balance sheet, the Company can focus on
executing key operational initiatives in preparation for a market recovery.
In addition to the equity raising, Fletcher Building remains committed to ongoing cost
reduction initiatives to manage profitability in the current operating environment, and
we have targeted approximately NZ$180 million of gross overhead cost savings to be
delivered in FY25.”

Financial information
All dollar values are in New Zealand dollars ($ or NZ$) unless stated otherwise.
Investors should be aware that certain financial information included in this
announcement including Leverage, Net Debt, EBITDA and EBIT before significant items
may be “non-GAAP financial information” under the FMA Guidance Note on disclosing
non-GAAP financial information, "non‐IFRS financial information" under Regulatory
Guide 230 Disclosing non‐IFRS financial information published by the Australian
Securities and Investments Commission (“ASIC”) or "non‐GAAP financial measures"
under Regulation G of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The
disclosure of such non‐GAAP financial measures in the manner included in this
announcement would not be permissible in a registration statement under the U.S.
Securities Act. Fletcher Building believes this non‐IFRS financial information provides,
and these non‐GAAP financial measures provide, useful information to users in
measuring the financial performance and conditions of Fletcher Building. The non‐IFRS
financial information and these non‐GAAP financial measures do not have a
standardised meaning prescribed by Australian Accounting Standards and applicable
New Zealand accounting standards and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures presented by other entities, nor should they be construed as an
alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with Australian
Accounting Standards and applicable New Zealand accounting standards. Investors
are cautioned, therefore, not to place undue reliance on any non‐IFRS financial
information or non‐GAAP financial measures and ratios included in this announcement.
This announcement includes Fletcher Building's pro forma Leverage, which has been
adjusted to reflect the impact of the Offer, assuming it occurred as at 30 June 2024. Such
pro forma financial information has not been subject to audit or review and is for
illustrative purposes only and is not represented as being indicative of the Company's
future financial position and/or performance. In addition, the pro forma financial
information in this announcement does not purport to be in compliance with Article 11
of Regulation S-X under the U.S. Securities Act and was not prepared with a view
towards compliance with the rules and regulations or guidelines of the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for
the preparation and presentation of pro forma financial information.

APPENDIX:
Equity Raising
The Equity Raising has the following components:
• a fully underwritten placement of new fully paid ordinary shares to eligible
institutional shareholders and new institutional investors (“Placement”) to raise
NZ$282 million; and
• a fully underwritten 1 for 4.49 pro rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement
offer of new shares to eligible shareholders (the “Entitlement Offer”) to raise
approximately NZ$418 million.
The Equity Raising will be at a fixed price of NZ$2.40 per new share (the “Offer Price”),
which represents:
• 12.9% discount to the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price (“TERP”)
2
of $2.76; and
• 17.0% discount to last close price on NZX of $2.89 on 20 September 2024.
Approximately 292 million new shares will be issued by Fletcher Building, representing
approximately 37% of existing shares on issue.
New shares issued under the Offer will rank equally in all respects with Fletcher
Building’s existing ordinary shares.
Jarden is acting as sole lead manager, underwriter and bookrunner to the Equity
Raising.
1. Placement
Fletcher Building is undertaking a fully underwritten Placement of new shares to eligible
institutional shareholders and new institutional investors to raise NZ$282 million. The
Placement will be conducted concurrently with the Institutional Entitlement Offer (as
described below).
2
TERP is the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price at which Fletcher Building ordinary shares would trade immediately after the ex-rights date for the offer. TERP is
calculated with reference to Fletcher Building’s closing share price of NZ$2.89 on 20 September 2024 and includes all new shares issued under the Placement
and the Entitlement Offer. TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which Fletcher Building ordinary shares will trade immediately after the
ex-rights date for the offer will depend on many factors and may not be equal to TERP.

The Entitlement Offer forms part of the equity raising announced by Fletcher Building on Monday, 23
September 2024. The Entitlement Offer is being conducted in conjunction with a placement of New Shares to
Institutional Investors (Placement) to raise in aggregate NZ$700 million (together, the Offer).
The Offer is being undertaken as a prudent measure to strengthen the balance sheet, and supports our
commitment to maintaining an investment grade credit rating and covenant headroom under our debt
facilities. A strengthened financial position improves resilience in the current challenging environment,
allowing the Company to focus on operational performance and preserve optionality in relation to its portfolio.
Net proceeds from the Offer will be used to repay Fletcher Building’s existing debt.
DETAILS OF THE ENTITLEMENT OFFER
Under the Entitlement Offer, Eligible Shareholders have the opportunity to purchase 1 New Share at an Offer
Price of NZ$2.40 (or the A$ Price) for every 4.49 Shares they own at 7.00pm (NZST) / 5.00pm (AEST) on
Tuesday, 24 September 2024.
The Offer Price of NZ$2.40 represents:
▪a 12.9% discount to the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price
1
of NZ$2.76; and
▪a 17.0% discount to Fletcher Building's closing share price of NZ$2.89 on NZX on Friday, 20 September 2024
(being the last trading day before the Offer was announced),
and is the same price at which New Shares are to be issued to institutions under the Institutional Entitlement
Offer and the Placement.

In addition to being able to take up their Entitlements, Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up their
Entitlements in full may apply for additional New Shares (up to a maximum amount of Additional New Shares
equal to 100% of their Entitlement) not taken up as part of the Retail Entitlement Offer.
The Placement and the Entitlement Offer are fully underwritten by Jarden Partners Limited.
Under the Entitlement Offer, there will be no trading of Entitlements or any shortfall bookbuild of New Shares
not taken up. The Placement and the non-renounceable feature of the Entitlement Offer structure will mean
that Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer will have their shareholding diluted and will not receive
any value for their Entitlements. If a Shareholder does not participate in either the Placement or the
Entitlement Offer, their shareholding will be diluted by approximately 27%.
Any New Shares attributable to Entitlements that are not taken up by Eligible Institutional Shareholders, or
which are attributable to entitlements that would have been issued to Ineligible Institutional Shareholders had
they been entitled to participate, will be offered for sale at the Offer Price to Institutional Investors alongside
the Placement, or allocated as Fletcher Building and the Lead Manager may otherwise agree.

Theoretical Ex-Rights Price (TERP) is the theoretical price at which Fletcher Building ordinary shares would trade immediately after the ex-rights
date for the Entitlement Offer. TERP is calculated with reference to Fletcher Building's closing share price of NZ$2.89 on NZX on Friday, 20
September 2024 (being the last trading day before the Offer was announced) and includes all New Shares issued under the Placement and
Entitlement Offer. TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at which Fletcher Building's ordinary shares will trade immediately after
the ex-rights date for the Offer will depend on many factors and may not be equal to TERP.

entitlement offer (referred to as an ANREO).

f)If you are either an Ineligible Shareholder or you are an Eligible Shareholder and you do not take up any

will be diluted by approximately 27%. Even if you are an Eligible Shareholder and you take up your
Entitlements in full (but do not receive any Shares under the Placement or under the oversubscription

of the Placement. You will receive no value for Entitlements that you have not taken up.

U.S. Private Placement to be conducted concurrently with the Offer, and will be contacted directly by

Offer (as part of a total Offer size of NZ$700 million), which is fully underwritten by the Underwriter.

18Fletcher Building | OFFER DOCUMENT | © September 2024
8.OFFER STRUCTURE
Fletcher Building has chosen to undertake the Placement and the Entitlement Offer to raise capital. The
Entitlement Offer is structured as an accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (referred to as an
ANREO).
BEST INTERESTS OF FLETCHER BUILDING
The Board considers that the placement and ANREO structure is in the best interests of Fletcher Building,
after carefully considering alternative structures, and weighing the benefits of this structure against the
expected impact on non-participating Shareholders. In determining that the Placement and Entitlement
Offer is in the best interests of Fletcher Building, the Board has considered:
a)FAIRNESS TO SHAREHOLDERS: the pro-rata nature of an ANREO allows all Eligible Shareholders to take
up at least their pro-rata portion of the Entitlement Offer. Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up all
their Entitlements will have the opportunity to offset any dilution to their shareholding as a result of
the Placement by applying for additional New Shares forming part of any shortfall in the Retail
Entitlement Offer, up to a maximum amount of New Shares equal to 100% of their Entitlement. Eligible
Institutional Shareholders will have the opportunity to apply for New Shares in the Placement and
which form part of any shortfall in the Institutional Entitlement Offer. Accordingly, while the Placement
is not pro-rata, Eligible Shareholders are expected to have the opportunity to avoid or mitigate dilution.
b)BENEFITS OF OFFER STRUCTURE: the ANREO structure is the most common pro-rata offer structure
utilised by ASX listed companies to raise equity capital, and has a number of benefits as compared to a
renounceable pro-rata offer structure. The Board considered that the key benefits of a placement and
ANREO structure, based on independent expert investment banking advice obtained from Jarden, are:
i.BETTER PRICING: a placement and ANREO structure allows Fletcher Building to price the Offer at a
smaller discount than would be the case for a renounceable pro-rata offer structure or without a
placement, including as a result of the execution certainty described below. This minimises the
dilutionary impact on non-participating Shareholders. The offer structure also provides certainty
to existing Shareholders as to the price they will pay to subscribe for New Shares in excess of their
pro-rata Entitlement given the fixed Offer Price.
ii.ALLOCATION FLEXIBILITY: an ANREO, together with a placement, gives Fletcher Building greater
flexibility when selecting which investors are allocated New Shares under the Placement or any
shortfall under the Entitlement Offer, when compared to a renounceable pro-rata offer structure.
This allows allocations of New Shares under the Placement, and attributable to Unexercised
Institutional Entitlements, to be prioritised to high-quality investors who are expected to support
the company over the long term, enhancing the prospects of solid aftermarket performance of
the Shares.
iii.EXECUTION CERTAINTY: given the purpose for which the funds are being raised under the Offer, it
is important to Fletcher Building to have certainty as to the receipt of the Offer proceeds.
Accordingly, it was important that the Placement and the Entitlement Offer are fully
underwritten. A placement and ANREO are able to be more easily underwritten and at better
pricing than alternative offer structures. In particular, the accelerated nature of an ANREO
enables completion of the Entitlement Offer quicker than a traditional rights issue or an
accelerated renounceable entitlement offer. This faster timetable means the period of risk
associated with potential market volatility between the Entitlement Offer opening and settlement
is reduced, which in turn supports greater participation by both sub-underwriters and
Shareholders, as well as better pricing. The absence of any shortfall bookbuilds (as seen in
renounceable pro-rata offer structures) also enables greater sub-underwriting support. These
elements have enabled the Offer to be fully underwritten with better pricing than would have
been available for a renounceable offer structure.
19Fletcher Building | OFFER DOCUMENT | © September 2024
IMPACT OF NON-PARTICIPATION IN THE OFFER
The placement and ANREO structure will mean that Shareholders who do not participate in the Offer will
have their shareholding diluted and will not receive any value for their Entitlements. If a Shareholder does
not participate in either the Placement or Entitlement Offer, their shareholding will be diluted by
approximately 27%. Fletcher Building has obtained foreign securities law advice confirming that overseas
Shareholders holding approximately 99.8% of its Shares will be eligible to participate in the Entitlement
Offer. Any Ineligible Shareholders would equally have been unable to participate in a renounceable pro-rata
offer structure.
However, the level of dilution suffered by Shareholders who do not participate in the Placement or
Entitlement Offer (including Ineligible Shareholders) is expected to be less under this offer structure as a
result of the better pricing described above, when compared to a renounceable pro-rata offer structure.
Unless an Eligible Shareholder takes up their Entitlements in full and applies for, and is allocated, a number
of additional New Shares equal to at least 67% of their Entitlements, their shareholding in Fletcher Building
will be diluted as a consequence of the issue of New Shares under the Placement and Entitlement Offer.
EXPERT ADVICE OBTAINED
Fletcher Building has obtained independent expert investment banking advice from Jarden in relation to the
merits of the offer structure, which is consistent with the explanation above as to why a placement and
ANREO structure has been selected and is in the best interests of Fletcher Building. Although Jarden acts as
the Lead Manager (and a related company acts as the Underwriter) to the Offer, Fletcher Building and its
Board concluded that it was still appropriate for Jarden to provide this advice in these circumstances, as the
advice was given in a manner that considers the best interests of all Shareholders, generally. To the
maximum extent permitted by law, Jarden does not accept any liability to Shareholders in relation to the
contents of this Offer Document or the choice of offer structure by the Board.
9.QUOTATION ON THE NZX MAIN BOARD AND ASX
a)Fletcher Building will take any necessary steps to ensure that the New Shares are, immediately after
issue, quoted on the NZX Main Board and ASX.
b)The New Shares will be quoted on the NZX Main Board, and an application will be made by Fletcher
Building for the New Shares to be quoted on ASX. The NZX Main Board is a registered market operated
by NZX (which is a licensed market operator regulated by the FMCA). Neither NZX nor ASX accepts any
responsibility for any statement in this Offer Document. The fact that NZX or ASX may approve the New
Shares for quotation is not to be taken in any way as an indication of the merits of Fletcher Building.
c)You cannot trade in any New Shares issued to you pursuant to this Entitlement Offer, either as principal
or agent, until quotation of the New Shares on the NZX Main Board and ASX in accordance with the NZX
Listing Rules and ASX Listing Rules.
d)Fletcher Building expects that trading on the NZX Main Board and ASX of the New Shares issued under:
i.the Institutional Entitlement Offer and Placement will commence on Monday, 30 September 2024;
and
ii.the Retail Entitlement Offer will commence on Tuesday, 15 October 2024
20Fletcher Building | OFFER DOCUMENT | © September 2024
10.INSTITUTIONAL ENTITLEMENT OFFER

Eligible Institutional Shareholders, who may take up all, part or none of their Entitlements.
b)The Institutional Entitlement Offer will be conducted alongside the Placement and opens at 9.00am
(NZST) / 7.00am (AEST) on Monday, 23 September 2024 and closes on Tuesday, 24 September 2024

Lead Manager may have regard to a number of matters, including legal and regulatory requirements and
logistical and registry constraints. Fletcher Building and the Lead Manager will also agree on which
Shareholders will be treated as Ineligible Institutional Shareholders.

each of their respective related bodies corporate and affiliates, including in each case their respective
directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives and agents, disclaim any duty, responsibility or

h)New Shares attributable to the Institutional Entitlements that are not taken up by Eligible Institutional
Shareholders, or that would have been issued to Ineligible Institutional Shareholders had they been

Shareholder). The Retail Entitlement Offer does not constitute an offer to any person who is not an
Eligible Retail Shareholder (including any Ineligible Retail Shareholder or Ineligible Institutional
Shareholder). In particular, Shareholders who are in the United States or who are acting for the
account or benefit of a person in the United States (to the extent such Shareholders are acting for the
account or benefit of a person in the United States) are not eligible to participate in the Retail
Entitlement Offer.

Shares under.
i)Eligible Retail Shareholders are not obliged to subscribe for any or all of the New Shares to which they
are entitled under the Entitlement Offer. They may choose to take up all, part or none of their Retail
Entitlements.

nominee, and their nominee, will be deemed to have represented and warranted to Fletcher Building
that the Entitlement Offer can be lawfully made to their nominee pursuant to this Offer Document.

APPLICATION TO TAKE UP ADDITIONAL NEW SHARES
l)Eligible Retail Shareholders who have taken up their Retail Entitlements in full may apply for Additional
New Shares that are attributable to Entitlements that are not taken up by other Eligible Retail

Shareholders may apply for these Additional New Shares as directed via the Application Form on the
Offer Website.
m)Payment must be made for both the full Retail Entitlements and for any Additional New Shares applied
for. Applications for Additional New Shares must be paid for in the same currency as the payment for
the Entitlements. For example, if Eligible Retail Shareholders apply for their Entitlements using the A$
Price, then any Additional New Shares that they are applying for must also be paid for in Australian
dollars at the A$ Price.
n)Allocations and any necessary scaling of applications for Additional New Shares will be determined by
Fletcher Building and the Lead Manager, with the objective of treating Eligible Retail Shareholders
fairly and taking into account their pro-rata allocation across the Placement and the Entitlement Offer.
Fletcher Building and the Lead Manager retain discretion to scale individual applications for Additional
New Shares on a differential basis.
o)The number of New Shares received by an Eligible Retail Shareholder may be less than the number of
Additional New Shares for which that Eligible Retail Shareholder has applied. If applications for
Additional New Shares are scaled or not accepted, excess application monies will be refunded without
interest. Refunds will not be paid where the aggregate amount of the refund payable to a Shareholder
is less than NZ$5.00. Refunds of any Additional New Shares will be paid within five Business Days of

q)Settlement of the Retail Entitlement Offer will occur on the Retail Settlement Date.
12.SECURITY TRANSACTION STATEMENTS
a)Security transaction statements for New Shares allotted under the Entitlement Offer will be issued and
mailed as soon as practicable after the relevant Allotment Date. Applicants under the Entitlement
Offer should confirm their allocation before trading in the New Shares. Applicants can do so by
contacting the Registrar, whose contact details are set out in Part 6: Directory.
b)Shareholders selling New Shares prior to receiving a security transaction statement do so at their own
risk. None of Fletcher Building, the Lead Manager, the Underwriter, the Registrar and each of their
respective related bodies corporate and affiliates, including in each case their respective directors,
officers, partners, employees, representatives and agents, accepts any duty, responsibility or liability
(including for negligence) should any person attempt to sell or otherwise deal with New Shares before
the security transaction statement showing the number of New Shares allotted to the applicant is
received by the applicant for those New Shares.
13.NOMINEES
a)The Retail Entitlement Offer is being made to Eligible Retail Shareholders. Nominees and custodians
with registered addresses in eligible jurisdictions, irrespective of whether they participated under the
Institutional Entitlement Offer, may also be able to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer in respect
of some or all of the beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Existing Shares, provided that the
applicable beneficiary would satisfy the criteria for an Eligible Retail Shareholder.
b)Nominees and custodians who hold Existing Shares as nominees or custodians will receive a letter from
Fletcher Building. Nominees and custodians should consider carefully the contents of that letter and
note in particular that the Retail Entitlement Offer is not available to, and they must not purport to
accept the Retail Entitlement Offer in respect of:
i.beneficiaries on whose behalf they hold Existing Shares who would not satisfy the criteria for an
Eligible Retail Shareholder;
23Fletcher Building | OFFER DOCUMENT | © September 2024
ii.Eligible Institutional Shareholders who received an offer to participate in the Institutional
Entitlement Offer (whether they accepted their Institutional Entitlement or not);
iii.Ineligible Institutional Shareholders; or
iv.Shareholders who are not eligible under applicable securities laws to receive an offer under the
Retail Entitlement Offer.
c)In particular, persons acting as nominees for other persons must not acquire or take up Entitlements on
behalf of, or send any documents relating to the Retail Entitlement Offer to, any person in the United
States. Persons in the United States and persons acting for the account or benefit of persons in the
United States (to the extent such persons are acting for the account or benefit of persons in the United
States) will not be entitled to exercise Entitlements under the Retail Entitlement Offer.
d)Fletcher Building is not required to determine whether or not any registered Shareholder is acting as a
nominee or the identity or residence of any beneficial owners of Existing Shares or Entitlements. Where
any Shareholder is acting as a nominee for a foreign person, that Shareholder or purchaser, in dealing
with its beneficiary, will need to assess whether indirect participation by the beneficiary in the Retail
Entitlement Offer is compatible with applicable foreign laws. Fletcher Building is not able to advise on
foreign laws. Eligible Retail Shareholders who are nominees, trustees or custodians are therefore
advised to seek independent advice as to how to proceed.
14.OVERSEAS SHAREHOLDERS
a)The Entitlement Offer is open only to Eligible Shareholders.
b)Ineligible Shareholders will not be issued Entitlements and cannot participate in the Entitlement Offer.
The Entitlement Offer is not open to Ineligible Shareholders as Fletcher Building considers that it is
unduly onerous and unreasonable for Fletcher Building to make the Entitlement Offer into those
jurisdictions where Ineligible Shareholders are situated having regard to the number of securities held
by Ineligible Shareholders, the number and value of New Shares that they would be offered and the
costs of complying with the legal and regulatory requirements which would apply to an offer of
securities to Ineligible Shareholders in those places.
c)It is the responsibility of each Shareholder to ensure that any participation complies with all applicable
laws and that each beneficial owner on whose behalf such Shareholder is submitting the Application is
not in the United States.
d)This Offer Document is intended for use only in connection with the Entitlement Offer to Eligible
Shareholders. It does not constitute an offer or invitation in any place in which, or to any person to
whom, it would not be lawful to make such an offer or invitation.
e)This Offer Document is not to be sent or given to any person outside New Zealand or Australia in
circumstances in which the Entitlement Offer or distribution of this Offer Document would be unlawful.

Shares, in any jurisdiction other than in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
g)Certain institutional shareholders and investors in the United States may be invited to participate in the
U.S. Private Placement conducted concurrently with the Offer, and will be contacted directly by Fletcher
Building with the relevant offer documentation in relation thereto.
h)To the maximum extent permitted by law, Fletcher Building, the Lead Manager, the Registrar and each
of their respective related bodies corporate and affiliates, including in each case their respective
directors, officers, partners, employees, representatives and agents, disclaim any duty, responsibility or
liability (including for negligence) as to whether a person is eligible to participate in this Offer.

prior to any resale of the New Shares.
25Fletcher Building | OFFER DOCUMENT | © September 2024

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of the Company, including the FY25 Outlook on slide 13. Forward-looking statements can generally be
identified by use of words such as 'approximate', 'project', 'foresee', 'plan', 'target', 'seek', 'expect', 'aim', 'intend', 'anticipate', 'believe', 'estimate', 'may', 'should', 'will', "objective", 'assume', 'guidance', 'outlook' or similar expressions.
This also includes statements regarding the timetable, conduct and outcome of the Offer and the use of proceeds thereof, statements about the plans, targets, objectives and strategies of the Company, statements about the industry and
the markets in which the Company operates and statements about the future performance of, and outlook for, the Company's business. Any indications of, or guidance or outlook on, future earnings or financial position or performance and
future distributions are also forward-looking statements. All such forward-looking statements are not guarantees or predictions of future performance and involve known and unknown risks, significant uncertainties, assumptions,
contingencies, and other factors, many of which are outside the control of the Company, are difficult to predict, and which may cause the actual results or performance of the Company to be materially different from any future results or
performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.
Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this presentation. Except as required by law or regulation (including the NZX Listing Rules and the ASX Listing Rules), the Company undertakes no obligation to update these
forward-looking statements for events or circumstances that occur subsequent to the date of this presentation or to update or keep current any of the information contained herein.
Any estimates or projections as to events that may occur in the future (including projections of sales, earnings and overhead cost-outs) are based upon the best judgement of the Company from the information available as of the date of
this presentation.
A number of factors could cause actual results or performance to vary materially from the projections, including the key risks set out in this presentation. Investors should consider the forward-looking statements in this presentation in light
of those risks and disclosures.
In particular, investors should be aware that the statements in slides 12, 13, 15 and 16, and other statements and information regarding outlook, growth or strategy (collectively, the "outlook information") are forward-looking statements.
The outlook information has been prepared by the Company based on an assessment of current economic and operating conditions, inflationary pressures and various assumptions regarding future factors, events and actions, including in
relation to supply-chain constraints, material availability and construction cost inflation challenges facing the construction sector, the competitive environment and general macro-economic drivers. Investors should note that given the
significant uncertainties that exist in the current operating conditions, the outlook information may not be achieved. The outlook information assumes the success of the Company's business strategies, the success of which may not be
realised within the period for which the outlook information has been prepared, or at all. The outlook information is subject to a number of risks, including the risks set out in this presentation. Investors should be aware that the timing of
actual events, and the magnitude of their impact, might differ from that assumed in preparing the outlook information, which may have a material negative effect on the Company's actual financial performance, financial position and cash
flows. In addition, the assumptions upon which the outlook information is based are subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are outside the Company's control, are not reliably predictable, and it is not
reasonably possible to itemise each item. Accordingly, neither the Company nor any other person can give investors assurance that the outcomes discussed in the outlook information will be achieved.
Investors are strongly cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward- looking statements, such as indications of, and guidance on, outlook, future earnings and financial position and performance.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This presentation includes certain financial measures that are "non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting practice) financial information" under Guidance Note 2017: 'Disclosing non-GAAP financial information' published by the New
Zealand Financial Markets Authority, "non-IFRS financial information" under ASIC Regulatory Guide 230: 'Disclosing non-IFRS financial information' and "non-GAAP financial measures" within the meaning of Regulation G under the U.S.
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (U.S. Exchange Act). Disclosure of such non-GAAP financial measures in the manner included in this presentation would not be permissible in a registration statement under the U.S. Exchange Act. Such
financial information and financial measures (including EBIT before significant items, EBITDA before significant items, Net Debt, Net Senior Debt, Economic Debt, Gross Debt, Leverage, Gross leverage, Senior leverage, Return on Funds
Employed, Total Capital, and accompanying financial ratios) have not been subject to audit or review, and do not have standardised meanings prescribed under NZ IFRS, Australian Accounting Standards (AAS) or IFRS and therefore, may not
be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other entities, and should not be construed as an alternative to other financial measures determined in accordance with NZ IFRS, AAS or IFRS. Investors are cautioned not to place
undue reliance on any such non-GAAP financial measures included in this presentation. Non-GAAP financial information has not been subject to audit or review.
PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This presentation includes a pro forma net debt and Fletcher Building's pro forma liquidity position, which have been adjusted to reflect the impact of the Offer, assuming it occurred as at 30 June 2024. The pro forma financial information
provided in this presentation is for illustrative purposes only and is not represented as being indicative of the Company's future financial position and/or performance. The pro forma net debt on slides 17 and 18 has been prepared in
accordance with the stated basis of preparation, being the recognition and measurement principles contained in NZ IFRS (other than that it includes adjustments which have been prepared in a manner consistent with NZ IFRS, that reflect
the impact of certain transactions as if they occurred as at 30 June 2024). In addition, the pro forma financial information in this presentation does not purport to be in compliance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X under the U.S. Securities
Act and was not prepared with a view towards compliance with the rules and regulations or guidelines of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants for the preparation and
presentation of pro forma financial information. Pro forma financial information has not been subject to audit or review.
BASIS OF PREPARATION
The Group has prepared unaudited pro forma financial information as at 30 June 2024 based on audited statutory financial statements of the Group as at that date in order to provide investors with the illustration of the impact of the
proposed equity raising on the net debt position of the Group and related credit metrics.
The financial information presented (excluding pro forma adjustments) has been prepared on a basis consistent with the recognition and measurement principles as disclosed by the Group in its Statement of Accounting Policies contained
within the 30 June 2024 Annual Report. The accounting policies adopted by the Directors are in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand, which is the New Zealand equivalent to International Financial
Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS). They are also in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

KEY ASSUMPTIONS
The pro forma financial information presents the assumed impact of the proposed equity raising as if it had occurred on 30 June 2024. It has been assumed that proceeds from the equity raising of NZ$700m is applied to repay existing debt
of NZ$678m and to cover the estimated transaction costs of the Offer of NZ$22m.
The assumption in the pro forma financial information is therefore a 0% redemption of USPP Notes. If, a part or all of the net equity proceeds were to be applied to redeem USPP Notes, transaction costs associated with the redemption of
USPP Notes would be dependent on the level of Notes redeemed. Costs associated with repayment of the USPP Notes in full are currently estimated at NZ$25m. These costs are not included in the pro forma financial information presented.
The assumption in the pro forma financial information is that there is also no conversion of institutional capital notes to equity.
NON-GAAP MEASURES
The following Non-GAAP information has been presented in this presentation, including:
▪EBIT before significant items: FY24 Earnings from continuing operations before Interest, Tax and Significant Items
▪EBITDA before significant items: FY24 Earnings from continuing operations before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, Amortisation and Significant Items
▪Economic Debt: Current borrowings plus non-current borrowings less value of derivatives used to manage changes in hedged risks on debt instruments
▪Net Debt: Economic Debt less cash and cash equivalents
▪Gross Debt: Net Debt plus current lease liabilities plus non-current lease liabilities plus cash and cash equivalents plus value of derivatives used to manage changes in hedged risks on debt instruments
▪Funds: Net Debt plus book equity less deferred tax assets (adjusted to exclude deferred tax liabilities on brands)
▪Leverage: Net Debt divided by EBITDA before significant items including discontinued operations
▪Gross Leverage: Gross debt divided by EBITDA before significant items including discontinued operations
▪Return on Funds Employed (ROFE): EBIT before significant items divided by average funds
▪Significant Items: Refers to significant items for transactions or events outside of the Group's ongoing operations that have a significant impact on reported profit. This policy provides stakeholders with additional useful information
to assess the year-on-year trading performance of the Group
Refer to Appendix A: Reconciliation of Non-GAAP information for a detailed breakdown of the calculation of Gross Debt.

Update on material matters
Significant progress made on WA plumbing and legacy construction projects
WA
PLUMBING
➔A Joint Industry Response (JIR) to the WA plumbing failures has been agreed in principle
➔Iplex® AU and the WA Government have committed to cover direct costs of repairs by participating builders to WA homes affected by the
plumbing failures: 80% by Iplex® AU (but not capped) and 20% by the WA Government (capped at A$30 million)
➔On the assumption that the JIR is finalised, the Company expects to record a pre-tax provision of ~A$155 million in its FY25 financial
statements comprising:
▪Iplex® AU’s share of costs to repair affected WA homes: ~A$120 million
1
▪Iplex® AU’s costs of installing leak detectors to all relevant WA homes: ~A$20 million
▪Iplex® AU’s associated administration costs over the life of the JIR: ~A$15 million
➔Cash outflows are expected to be phased over ~5 years: ~A$40m – $50m in year 1 and ~A$15m – $35m p.a. in subsequent 4 years
▪These cash outflows assume BGC joins the JIR; if it does not, cash outflows are expected to be proportionally lower
➔Claims and proceedings are ongoing, and risks remain, whether JIR is finalized or not
2
LEGACY
CONSTRUCTION
➔During FY24, full works completion was achieved on P2W roading project, and on the Horizon Hotel portion of New Zealand
International Convention Centre (NZICC) project
➔Remaining Legacy construction projects are nearing completion; no change to legacy construction provisions from HY24
▪NZICC: on track for completion during FY25 (with building construction work targeted for completion in CY24, with commissioning
and hand over targeted for 2H FY25); forecast margin in line with provision at HY24 results
▪Wellington International Airport Carpark (WIAL Carpark): remedial works progressing, on track for completion during FY25
▪Until works completed, risks to time and cost to complete remain and these provisions are not final
3
➔Legacy cash flows: expect c.$170m outflow in 1H25, c.$70m inflow in 2H25 (with P2W inflow assumed mainly in 2H)
Note:
(1)Refer to ASX/NZX announcement on 30 August 2024; “Fletcher Building Industry Response to WA Plumbing Issues” for the key
assumptions of the cost provision. Iplex® AU’s costs are not capped.

OUTLOOK
➔Planning for FY25 market volumes in our NZ & AU Materials & Distribution businesses to be c.10 – 15%
lower vs FY24 (consistent with our expectation at FY24 results), the Group remains vigilant to potential for
further market weakness
➔Management are targeting c.$180m of gross overhead cost out savings in FY25 to partially offset the impact
of inflation and continuing market weakness
➔This gross cost-out benefit is expected to be phased c.40% in 1H and c.60% in 2H
➔Forecast earnings remain sensitive to market conditions
➔Materials & Distribution: an additional +/-5% change in market volumes is estimated to equate to
+/- $80 – 90 million in annualised EBIT impact
➔Resi & Devt: an additional +/- 100 settlements per year is equivalent to +/- c.$15 million in
annualised EBIT impact
➔The next trading update will be provided at the time of the ASM
Recent trading and FY25 outlook
Market headwinds have weighed on recent performance and near-term outlook; management have targeted c.$180m
of cost savings to be delivered in FY25 to partially offset the impact of inflation and continuing market weakness
MARKET CONTEXT
➔Challenging market conditions with
slowing demand, inflationary and
competitive pressures
➔Macroeconomic backdrop of higher
interest rates and inflation have
persisted throughout the year
➔Building market activity in New Zealand
and Australia has declined considerably

APPENDIX B | Key Risks (1 of 15)
KEY RISKS – IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ
This section summarises the key risks that Fletcher Building has identified in connection with the Offer and an investment in Fletcher Building shares. Investors should read this section carefully because these risks may materially adversely
affect the future operating and financial performance of Fletcher Building, and its share price.
Like any investment, there are risks associated with an investment in Fletcher Building shares. This section does not set out all of the risks related to an investment in Fletcher Building shares, the future operating or financial performance of
Fletcher Building, the Offer, or general market or industry risks. The summary of key risks set out below represent Fletcher Building’s current assessment of these risks; however that may change either during the course of the Offer or
following the Offer. The risks set out below are not listed in order of importance. Some risks may be unknown and other risks, currently believed to be immaterial, could turn out to be material. There is no certainty as to the severity or
likelihood of any such foreseen and unforeseen impacts arising nor whether any mitigating action will be effective or can be taken. Accordingly, the key risks that Fletcher Building faces are inherently uncertain and will continue to change
over time.
Investors should make their own assessment of the key risks set out in this section before deciding whether to invest (or invest further) in Fletcher Building shares. Investors should also refer to Fletcher Building’s previous NZX and ASX
announcements, including its 2024 Annual Report and the presentation in relation to its annual results for the year ending 30 June 2024. Investors should also consider whether such an investment is suitable in light of their individual risk
profile, investment objectives and personal circumstances (including financial and taxation issues). Investors are encouraged to consult with a financial or other professional adviser.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS
The building and construction industry in which the Group operates is cyclical and affected by factors that are beyond Fletcher Building’s control. These factors include:
▪the performance of New Zealand and Australian economies generally, and in particular the performance of the New Zealand and Australian residential building sector;
▪monetary policies, interest rates and inflation levels in New Zealand and Australia. For example, higher interest rates usually reduce mortgage financing, which adversely impacts on residential construction activity and house sales
prices, and also impact on Fletcher Building’s borrowing costs. Cost inflation can impact on Fletcher Building’s costs to complete construction projects, both for third parties and its own projects, and/or impact on its margins;
▪the availability and allocation of government funding for public infrastructure and other building programmes (including regional development programmes);
▪population growth (which may be impacted in particular by levels of net migration);
▪the level of demand for construction materials and services generally; and
▪the price and availability of labour and other key input costs such as energy, raw materials, and shipping / distribution costs.
If general economic or market conditions were to remain challenging for an extended period, or were to deteriorate further than levels currently anticipated by Fletcher Building, this could have a material adverse effect on Fletcher
Building’s operating results and financial position. A deterioration in Fletcher Building’s operating results could also impact Fletcher Building’s ability to comply with its banking and USPP covenants in the future (see “Debt covenants”
below).

APPENDIX B | Key Risks (2 of 15)
COMPETITION
Fletcher Building operates in competitive markets, involving both domestic suppliers and imported product suppliers. The competitive environment can be significantly affected by local market forces, such as new market entrants,
production capacity utilisation, economic conditions and product demand. Competition may lead to product price volatility risk.
The industries in which Fletcher Building competes may be subject to disruptive change from new technologies. If Fletcher Building is not able to develop or access new technologies and anticipate or respond to disruptions in its markets,
Fletcher Building may suffer a decrease in the demand for its goods and services, which may have a material adverse effect on results of Fletcher Building’s operations and its financial position.
CONTRACTUAL
The Group has a diverse portfolio of business units. The execution of onerous contract(s) by any one of the business units may result in the Group being responsible for liabilities or performance under contracts that are commercially
adverse.
PERFORMANCE OF SUB-CONTRACTORS
Non-performance or delays in performance by sub-contractors or where performance is considered sub-standard, may expose the Group to potential liabilities or loss (in particular if the Group is not able to obtain recovery in such
circumstances due to its contractual arrangements with, or the financial standing of, the relevant sub-contractor). This could have a material adverse effect on Fletcher Building’s financial performance and position.
BUSINESS RESILIENCE
Fletcher Building’s operations and financial position could be materially adversely impacted by any significant damage or destruction or extended operational interruption to its key manufacturing equipment or facilities, construction
projects or land development opportunities, including by way of weather, flooding, seismic event, or other natural disaster. There is no guarantee that Fletcher Building would obtain full recovery under its insurance policies (post self
insurance retention) for any loss suffered due to these events, or that reimbursement will be received in a timely manner or that insurance of key risks will continue to be practical and cost-effective.
SUPPLY CHAIN
The Group’s supply chain may face a variety of challenges such as pandemics, logistical and public infrastructure constraints or disruption to key suppliers.
Disruption to business unit or Group operations through ineffective coordination and control of the organisational supply chain (or critical pieces of equipment or raw materials) may result in operational disruption, contractual damages and
reputational harm. This could have a material adverse effect on Fletcher Building’s financial performance and position.

APPENDIX B | Key Risks (3 of 15)
COST REDUCTIONS
Fletcher Building has actively sought to identify cost saving and cash preservation opportunities available to the Group in order to respond to the lower market volumes it is experiencing. It is possible that the assumptions made by Fletcher
Building and the resulting conclusions in relation to the nature and extent of the cost saving and cash preservation opportunities are ultimately inaccurate or fail to be fully realised, or the level of cost savings and cash preservation achieved
are different from those indicated by Fletcher Building's analysis. If that was to occur, there is a risk that the profitability and future earnings and cash flows of the operations of Fletcher Building may be different from the profitability,
earnings and cash flows expected as reflected in this presentation. In addition, any material unanticipated capital expenditure (or cost overruns in relation to budgeted capital expenditure) may reduce the benefit of any cost saving and cash
preservation opportunities.
Some of the cost savings and cash preservation opportunities will result from a deferral of capital expenditure, including for growth, and a reduction in the size of its workforce. There is a risk that any deferral of capital expenditure, or
reduction in headcount, could have adverse operational consequences for Fletcher Building or require additional expenditure in the future (see also “Technology resilience” below).
CAPITAL SUFFICIENCY AND DEBT LEVELS
Fletcher Building has undertaken a capital sufficiency assessment exercise to assist in determining the size of the Offer. Fletcher Building believes that a successful equity raise of $700 million, together with its ongoing cost saving initiatives,
will provide Fletcher Building with sufficient headroom in relation to its banking and USPP covenants through FY25. This assessment is based on what Fletcher Building considers to be a reasonable set of assumptions (assessed together with
relevant sensitivities for those assumptions). If insufficient funds are raised under the Offer, or the Offer does not complete, or if Fletcher Building does not achieve various strategic objectives during FY25, Fletcher Building would need to
consider alternative deleveraging or funding strategies. Failure to carry out those alternative strategies in a timely manner may have a material adverse impact on Fletcher Building.
There also remains a risk that economic conditions in New Zealand and Australia deteriorate further below anticipated levels, or remain adverse for longer than is anticipated, further (or budgeted) cost saving measures cannot be achieved,
or a material recovery in revenue and profitability takes longer than expected. In that scenario, Fletcher Building may have reduced headroom against its banking and USPP covenants and therefore an increased risk of breach. It may also
have insufficient equity and/or liquidity to meet its capital and operational requirements and would need to re-assess its balance sheet, capital expenditure, portfolio settings and operations. It may also need to access additional equity or
debt funding, which could have an adverse effect on Fletcher Building’s shareholder returns and/or its earnings.
DEBT COVENANTS
Fletcher Building is reliant upon continued external debt sources to fund its business and execute on its strategy. Fletcher Building has various covenants in relation to its banking and USPP facilities, including interest coverage ratios and a
leverage covenant. Factors such as a decline in operational and financial performance, or if Fletcher Building does not achieve various strategic objectives during FY25, could lead to Fletcher Building breaching its debt covenants. In certain
circumstances, lenders may require that such banking facilities be repaid within a relatively short timeframe. Under such a scenario, there is no guarantee that Fletcher Building will be able to secure alternative financing on commercially
acceptable terms or at all.
Further, where existing loans either approach or reach maturity, Fletcher Building may seek to renegotiate with existing and new lenders to extend the maturity date of those loans. Fletcher Building’s earnings profile, credit rating, state of
the economy, credit appetite and other factors may influence the outcome of those negotiations. Where refinancing occurs at a higher cost and or, more restrictive terms, this may impact the profitability and financial flexibility of Fletcher
Building’s operations.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
APPENDIX B | Key Risks (4 of 15)
CREDIT RATING
Fletcher Building has a current credit rating with Moody’s Investors Service of Baa3 on negative outlook. This credit rating, or any change to it, can influence Fletcher Buildings access to sources of funding through the public debt capital
markets and to a lesser extent, the private placement markets. There is a risk that adverse movement in the credit rating to sub-investment grade, or maintenance of “negative outlook” for an extended period, may adversely impact on the
Company’s debt refinancing activities in terms of credit appetite from lenders and/or result in increased costs and more restrictive terms associated with funding the Company’s debt.
ABILITY TO PAY DIVIDENDS
Fletcher Building did not declare a dividend for FY24 and it is not known when Fletcher Building will be in a position to start paying dividends, and whether any dividends will be at historic levels (or at all).
The Group’s current dividend policy is to pay out between 50% and 75% of net earnings (excluding significant items) and having regard to available cash flow. Currently, decisions on dividend must be made with reference to the covenant
amendments put in place with the Group’s lenders in June 2024. If, during the covenant amendment period a dividend was to be declared, the Group must confirm to its senior lenders (banks and USPP) that it is able comply with the
original covenant levels immediately before and after making the distribution and comply with any other covenant contained in the debt documentation that applies to dividends. In addition, adverse operational or financial performance in
any period may mean that Fletcher Building is unable to pay a dividend in respect of that period.
M&A AND GROWTH PROJECT RISKS
Fletcher Building periodically considers divestment and acquisition opportunities, including receiving third party approaches from time to time. Fletcher Building’s incoming Chief Executive Officer is intending to conduct a strategic/portfolio
review of the Group. However, there can be no assurance that Fletcher Building will identify suitable divestment or acquisition opportunities or other projects at acceptable prices, or successfully execute those opportunities within suitable
timeframes.
In addition, Fletcher Building's past and future divestments and acquisitions may be subject to unanticipated risks and liabilities, or may disrupt its operations. Divestments may result in claims against Fletcher Building under warranties or
indemnities, which could have a material impact on Fletcher Building’s financial position. Acquisitions may not deliver projected benefits or value, and integrations may not be successful, resulting in interruptions to the achievement of
business strategy. Due diligence undertaken in making acquisitions may not have identified all liabilities and risks associated with the relevant business. This may divert management's attention and resources from Fletcher Building's day-to-
day operations.
In addition, past and future organic growth projects undertaken by Fletcher Building may fail to deliver projected benefits or value.
Any such matters could have a material adverse effect on Fletcher Building’s financial performance and position.

APPENDIX B | Key Risks (5 of 15)
PROPERTY SALES AND SITE ACQUISITIONS
Fletcher Building’s Residential & Development division acquires sites and develops them into residential homes and apartment buildings. If residential property prices in New Zealand were to remain challenging for an extended period, or
were to deteriorate further than levels anticipated by Fletcher Building, this could impact Residential and Development’s ability to sell developed properties at prices which are acceptable to it.
Separately, to support its ongoing pipeline, Residential & Development relies on being able to acquire further land for development at suitable terms and price. Residential & Development also enters into joint venture funding
arrangements to assist to fund developments.
If risks were to occur in relation to these aspects of Residential & Development’s business model, this could impede Residential and Development’s growth strategy, cash flows and Fletcher Building’s future financial performance and
position.
PRODUCT LIABILITY
The Group manufactures and/or sells a range of products and services that are required to meet local and international standards and regulations. Fletcher Building may, from time to time, experience manufacturing or product defects or
other claims relating to products or services that it manufactures, sells or provides. Defects in products manufactured or sold by, or services provided by, Fletcher Building could be difficult or costly to correct, cause significant customer
relations and business reputation problems, result in product recalls, harm Fletcher Building’s financial results and result in damage to or claims by its customers, suppliers or other parties (including where the product has been
incorporated into a broader structure). A number of products manufactured or supplied by Fletcher Building rely on third parties to install the product correctly or comply with the product specifications in order for the product to perform
as intended. A failure by a third party to install such products correctly or comply with product specifications could result in claims and loss to Fletcher Building. Any of these matters could have a material adverse effect on Fletcher
Building’s financial performance and position.
Material product quality claims that the Group are currently subject to include:
▪Various claims in relation to the ProFit pipes supplied by Iplex® Australia in Western Australia. These matters are discussed in other key risks below.
▪Laminex® Australia is the subject of a number of silica-related personal injury claims in Australia. See note 12 to the FY24 Financial Statements for the provision made in respect of these claims.
▪Fletcher Insulation® Australia is the subject of claims relating to installed glass wool insulation containing an imported foil. See note 12 to the FY24 Financial Statements for the provision made in respect of these claims.
Whilst the Group has provisioned for the estimated costs associated with these known claims, there remain risks that the Group’s final exposure to these claims will be greater than the amounts currently allowed for.
CONSTRUCTION RISK
As part of its business, the Group’s Construction division has exposure for defects in construction projects following their completion. That exposure arises from the terms of the relevant contract, including any agreed defects period, or at
law. In assessing the Group’s exposure, the Group applies estimates and judgements, including assessing the merits of the claim, the cost to repair and the likelihood of the receipt of payment or other recovery.

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
APPENDIX B | Key Risks (6 of 15)
CONSTRUCTION RISK (cont.)
More generally, the Group’s Construction division is engaged to construct and maintain a wide range of building and infrastructure projects across New Zealand and the South Pacific, including under long term construction contracts with
fixed prices or margin at risk components. The Group is therefore exposed to a variety of risks in relation to these construction projects, including in relation to unrecoverable cost inflation, design risk, delays, subcontractor costs, availability
and performance, consenting, weather and ground conditions, sufficiency of insurance and recovery of insurance proceeds, compensation for variations and extensions of time and other circumstances outside its control. These risks can
result in claims against the Group (including for damages in relation to delays) and loss of margin (either by contract or as a result of non-recovered costs).
The Group is subject to a range of claims and disputes in connection with its portfolio of construction projects, many of which are resolved in they ordinary course. Material construction disputes that the Group is currently subject to include
in relation to the construction of the New Zealand International Convention Centre, the Pūhoi to Warkworth roading project, and the Wellington International Airport carpark. These matters are discussed in more detail in other key risks
below.
Any such matters could have a material adverse effect on Fletcher Building’s financial performance and position.
NEW ZEALAND INTERNATIONAL CONVENTION CENTRE (NZICC) – PROGRAMME TO COMPLETE
There is no material change to the position outlined in the Company’s FY24 Annual Report on the programme to complete NZICC:
▪constructions works are targeted to complete by the end of calendar 2024, with commissioning and handover targeted in the first half of calendar 2025; and
▪no change to the $165 million provision that was recognised in February 2024.
The assessment of the net cost to complete the project continues to rely on the application of estimates and judgements (e.g., programme to complete and cost estimates for certain trades) and, as such, may be subject to change as the
project progresses. It is possible that the final provision could be below or above the levels currently allowed for due to changes in costs to complete, and the timing of completion.
As noted in the FY24 Annual Report, the Horizon Hotel, which forms part of the NZICC project, has been completed and handed over to SkyCity.
Risks relating to disputes and claims (both by The Fletcher Construction Company Limited (FCC) and against FCC) are discussed below.
LITIGATION RISK - GENERAL
Fletcher Building is subject to the usual business risk that disputes or litigation may arise from time-to-time in the course of its business activities. Fletcher Building's 2024 Annual Report discloses a number of such disputes, claims and
litigation, including the product liability and construction disputes described elsewhere in this presentation. Fletcher Building is also the subject of class action proceedings filed against it in the Supreme Court of Victoria concerning
allegations that between 17 August 2016 and 23 October 2017 the Group misrepresented the performance and financial position of its Building + Interiors business and failed to disclose information as to its true financial position.
These disputes, and any new disputes or litigation, could be a material impact on Fletcher Building’s financial position. In particular, if any current litigation or disputes are not resolved in line with Fletcher Building's expectations (including,
where applicable, any relevant provisions) then this could have a material impact on Fletcher Building’s financial position.

APPENDIX B | Key Risks (7 of 15)
LITIGATION RISK - WA PLUMBING – JOINT INDUSTRY RESPONSE
As announced on 30 August 2024, Iplex® Pipelines Australia Pty Limited (Iplex® AU), together with the Western Australian Government (WA Government) and key industry stakeholders, reached an in-principle agreement to address
plumbing failures occurring in some Western Australian (WA) homes constructed with Typlex Pro-fit pipes (the plumbing failures and Joint Industry Response or JIR), the key elements of which are:
▪All affected homes in WA will be entitled to have their leaks repaired and, in more extensive cases, rooms or homes re-piped, by the builder of that home.
▪Together, Iplex® AU and the WA Government have proposed to cover the direct costs of that work programme incurred by those builders who participate in the industry response: 80% by Iplex® AU and 20% by the WA Government.
▪Iplex® AU estimates its share of those direct costs will be up to ~A$120m (but this is not capped). The WA Government’s contribution is capped at A$30m.
▪The JIR is entered into by the parties on a no liability, no admissions basis. All participants have agreed to a “no sue” provision as to part of the proposed agreement, but rights to cross claim or join parties to third party actions are
unaffected.
▪In addition, eligible WA homeowners will be offered, free of charge, the installation of a leak detector unit by Iplex® AU (~A$20m of the anticipated ~A$155m provision).
The terms of the JIR do not include a recall order of the Typlex Pro-fit pipes.
Parties continue to work to finalise the JIR long form documentation and were targeting that to occur by the end of September 2024. There is a likelihood that time frame will not be met.
▪Until the JIR is formalised, there is no certainty of its final terms, including whether there may be any material changes from the in principle terms announced on 30 August 2024 (the In Principle Terms).
▪It is possible that some or all of the proposed participants in the JIR may withdraw or seek to withdraw, such that no formal agreement is agreed. If that were to occur, it is uncertain what would follow, but further litigation and
regulatory risk for Iplex® AU (and other parties) may arise. There are circumstances in which a failure to reach a JIR could have material adverse implications for Iplex® AU and the Group, for example if the WA Government was to
successfully order a compulsorily recall the Pro-fit pipes. While any decision to pursue that path would be contested by Iplex® AU, if ultimately a product recall was required, the cost to Iplex® AU in performing a recall order could
have a material negative impact on the Group’s financial position.
▪While the JIR is being finalised, the existing claims against Iplex® AU (a class action and a separate action brought by BGC, as to which see below) progress. Developments in those proceedings could have implications on the terms of,
or ability to finalise, the JIR. It is possible that participants in the JIR may seek to withdraw or amend the terms of the JIR as a result of these proceedings and, if that were to happen this could have material adverse implications for
Iplex® AU and the Group.
Page 30 | Fletcher Building Limited | Equity Raising Presentation | © September 2024
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
APPENDIX B | Key Risks (8 of 15)
LITIGATION RISK - WA PLUMBING – JOINT INDUSTRY RESPONSE (cont.)
If the JIR is finalised consistent with the In Principle Terms, other risks will remain including:
▪The class action described below will continue. It is being brought on behalf of all homeowners in Australia (not just those in WA) who have relevant Pro-fit pipes in their homes and seeks a wider range of damages than covered by
the JIR. Also, if BGC is not a party to the JIR, it will be able to continue its action against Iplex® AU in relation to the plumbing failures, as described below. These matters overlap in scope but, as stated in the 30 August 2024
announcement by Fletcher Building and the FY24 Financial Statements, an adverse finding in either of them could have a material adverse impact on the Group.
▪The WA Government has reserved its rights in relation to future actions if those actions are based on information obtained by it after the date of the JIR.
▪Additional claims may be brought against Iplex® AU. For example, it is possible that further litigation may be brought on behalf of other builders who are not participating in the JIR, or homeowners or insurers (including by way of
additional class actions). The terms of the JIR do not require a homeowner to release or waive any rights they may have against Iplex® AU or any other participant in the JIR.
▪The JIR (both work programme and funding rates) may also be renegotiated if a different outcome results from any other type of future third party lawsuit. However, that change would only apply to amounts or activities required
from that point forward. All amounts spent in performing the JIR to that point, either by Iplex® AU or other parties, cannot be reclaimed retrospectively.
There has been no change to the assessment of the expected provision that Fletcher Building expects to make in its FY25 financial statements if the JIR is finalised, being the pre-tax provision of approximately A$155m which was announced
on 30 August 2024. However, that provision does not represent an assessment of the litigation risk or other risks to the Group relating to the plumbing failures outside the JIR itself. That provision is the Group’s assessment of the cost to it
of meeting its commitments under the JIR, if that JIR is agreed. However, Iplex® AU’s direct costs under the In Principle Terms are not capped. If the JIR is agreed on the In Principle Terms but Iplex® AU’s direct costs exceed its expected
share of those costs, or it incurs significant litigation or other costs outside of the JIR itself in relation to the plumbing failures, then this could have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.
If entry into the JIR is delayed beyond September 2024, Iplex® AU will need to consider its position in relation to continuing to fund participating builders on the terms of its existing Investigation Fund.
LITIGATION RISK - WA PLUMBING – CLASS ACTION
A class action has been served on Iplex® AU on behalf of all homeowners, Australia-wide, alleging that the Pro-fit product was not of acceptable quality at the time of supply and seeking a broad range of damages. This is detailed in Note 26
of the Company’s FY24 Financial Statements.
In summary, based on current facts and circumstances, Iplex® AU has not concluded that it is responsible for the matter or that it has a present obligation to any party beyond the Investigation Fund it has put in place. As noted above, if the
JIR is agreed, Iplex AU will recognise a provision for its commitment to provide leak detectors and fund participating builders certain agreed direct costs under that agreement.
There is no certainty on the outcome, amount or timing of any formal dispute resolution of this matter. If the class action is successful, then this could have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.

APPENDIX B | Key Risks (9 of 15)
LITIGATION RISK - WA PLUMBING – BGC CLAIM
As announced on 27 August 2024, WA home builder, BGC, has filed legal proceedings against Iplex® AU, in relation to the Iplex® Pro-fit Pipes issues. Iplex® AU intends to defend the proceedings.
BGC is now raising allegations in relation to the capacity of Iplex® AU (and its related Australian entities) to meet the quantum of liability that BGC alleges Iplex® AU is or will be responsible for, and that it is dissipating, or may dissipate,
assets for the purposes of frustrating future recovery action, including the proceeds of the Tradelink sale. While these claims are rejected, there is a risk that a Court or a regulator may, in response to BGC seeking such orders or otherwise,
impose orders or other restrictions which prevent or restrict Iplex® AU and other Australian group members from moving assets to Fletcher Building. Fletcher Building will vigorously oppose the imposition of any such order or restriction.
If BGC maintains these proceedings, there is no certainty as to the outcome, amount or timing of any formal dispute resolution. As noted above, an adverse outcome in these proceedings, or the imposition of any such orders or restrictions,
may have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.
LITIGATION RISK - NZICC – THIRD PARTY LIABILITY INSURANCE AND SUBCONTRACTOR CLAIMS
In connection with the NZICC fire:
▪FCC has claims under the project-specific third party liability (TPL) insurance policy (some of which the TPL insurers have agreed to cover and some of which the TPL insurers have declined to cover and FCC is disputing). FCC’s
proceedings against the TPL insurers are ongoing, including an upcoming trial in October 2024 relating to certain policy interpretation questions;
▪SkyCity has made claims against FCC in connection with carparks at the NZICC. The TPL insurers have accepted cover for claims in relation to the first tranche of carparks, but whether other claims in connection with the second
tranche of carparks to be delivered to SkyCity are covered by the TPL policy continues to be in dispute. FCC denies it is liable to SkyCity for any such amounts; and
▪FCC has made claims against FCC’s waterproofing subcontractors, XAM Limited (the new name of MPM Waterproofing Services Limited) and JEL Limited (engaged by XAM). A portion of these claims, if successful, may be covered by
the TPL insurance policy, or other available insurance (if any), but this may be disputed. If these claims are not covered by insurances, it is not expected that XAM and JEL will have other assets sufficient to cover any liability.
While FCC considers it has good grounds to recover material amounts under the TPL policy, no amount has been recognised to be recovered under the TPL policy or from XAM and JEL in the project provision in the FY24 Financial
Statements. See Note 3 (Construction Accounting).
These matters may take some time to be resolved and, while these matters continue, there is no certainty on the outcome, amount or timing of any dispute resolution.
LITIGATION RISK - NZICC PROJECT – SKYCITY CLAIMS
As the project approaches completion, the prospect of further claims from SkyCity in relation to the NZICC project and the delays in delivery of the NZICC project increases (in addition to the specific claims described in the key risk
immediately above). SkyCity has indicated in its most recent financial statements that “where SkyCity’s costs are not recoverable under the SkyCity group’s insurance policies, recovery of those costs will be sought from FCC”.
Page 32 | Fletcher Building Limited | Equity Raising Presentation | © September 2024
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
APPENDIX B | Key Risks (10 of 15)
LITIGATION RISK - NZICC PROJECT – SKYCITY CLAIMS (cont.)
SkyCity has, from time to time, alleged that it has claims against FCC under the building works contract for liquidated damages for delay in excess of the maximum liability cap for liquidated damages in the building works contract. FCC’s
view is that it has paid all liquidated damages owing under that contract in full, and, there is no proper basis for the maximum liability cap for liquidated damages to be exceeded in the circumstances; and, therefore, no further amounts are
owing to SkyCity. Accordingly, any claim will be defended. If, such a claim were to be made by SkyCity, Fletcher Building anticipates the face amount of such claim may be material.
The project forecast and expected final margin does not allow for any claim by SkyCity in respect of liquidated damages in excess of the maximum liability cap under the building works contract. If SkyCity were to bring such a claim in
respect of the NZICC project, there is no certainty on the outcome, amount or timing of any legal proceedings. However, if such a claim were to be made and:
▪following determination of any proceedings brought, such a claim was successfully brought against FCC, it may have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group; or
▪if any settlement agreement was reached as part of any proceedings, such amount may be material.
LITIGATION RISK - WELLINGTON INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT CARPARK (WIAL CARPARK)
There has been no material change to the position outlined in FY24 Annual Report, including:
▪no change to the provision of $15m is included in the Group’s FY24 Financial Statements; and
▪FCC continues to work with WIAL to agree a remediation solution to quality issues identified on the carpark and to settle claims.
These matters may take some time to be resolved and, while the dispute continues, there is no certainty on the outcome, amount or timing of any settlement discussions or formal dispute resolution. It is possible that the final provision
could be below or above the levels currently allowed for and would ultimately depend on the solution agreed and associated costs, and final claim settlements.
LITIGATION RISK - PŪHOI TO WARKWORTH (P2W) – COVID-19 CLAIM
The Fletcher Construction Company Limited (FCC) and its joint venture partner, Acciona (the Construction JV) have lodged a claim with the Northern Express Group (NX2) and Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (Waka Kotahi) for the impacts
and delays arising from COVID-19 and other weather events. FCC owns 50% of the Construction JV.
As noted in the FY24 Annual Report:
▪Waka Kotahi has provided some interim and potentially refundable financial support but no agreement for variations for compensation or extensions of time have been reached.
▪If no agreement for variations for compensation or extensions of time are reached, the Construction JV will incur unrecoverable costs and liquidated damages (from 16 August 2022, being the current contractual Planned Service
Commencement Date to mid-June 2023).
▪Unless the Construction JV and Waka Kotahi agree otherwise, that claim will be resolved through an agreed dispute resolution process, unlikely to be earlier than 2026.
▪An assumed recovery for these claims have been included in the determination of the final project position and estimated final margin.

LITIGATION RISK - PŪHOI TO WARKWORTH (P2W) – COVID-19 CLAIM (cont.)
These matters may take some time to be resolved and, while the dispute continues, there is no certainty on the outcome, amount or timing of any settlement discussions or formal dispute resolution, and there is the potential that some or
all of the amount already paid to FCC in respect of these matters may need to be repaid. It is possible that the final recovery could be below or above the levels expected for and would ultimately depend on the final claim settlement or the
determination under dispute resolution (as applicable). If the recovery is materially less than the amount Fletcher Building has assumed it will recover, this may have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.
LITIGATION RISK - P2W – CWI INSURANCE
The Construction JV has lodged material claims under the Contract Works Insurance (CWI) policy for damage to the project works caused by landslips and weather events during construction.
As noted in the FY24 Annual Report:
▪For claims that have been notified, coverage has been confirmed under the CWI policy.
▪An assumed recovery for all events has been included in the determination of the final project position and estimated final margin.
While the CWI insurers have paid some provisional amounts on account to the Construction JV:
▪the claims assessment process remains to be completed by the CWI insurers;
▪there remain differences to be resolved in discussion with CWI insurers; and
▪in the event that the parties cannot resolve their differences, a formal dispute process may be needed to resolve those matters.
These matters may take some time to be resolved and, until resolved, there is no certainty on the timing or outcome or amount of any resolution, and there is the potential that some or all of the amount already paid to FCC may need to be
repaid. It is possible that the final recovery could be below or above the levels currently assumed for and would ultimately depend on the final claim settlement or the determination under any dispute resolution (as applicable). If the
recovery is materially less than the amount Fletcher Building has assumed it will recover, this may have a material adverse effect on the financial position of the Group.
LITIGATION RISK - P2W – OTHER POTENTIAL CLAIMS
As noted in the FY24 Annual Report, the Construction JV will expect to make claims against some of its suppliers and may be subject to claims against it by suppliers and subcontractors. The Group considered these positions in conjunction
with other facts and circumstances known to it in assessing whether an additional provision was required to be recognised in respect of the project as at 30 June 2024. No additional provision was recognised in the FY24 Financial Statements
for this project. There has been no change to that position.
However, there remains a risk that, ultimately, the full amount of the Construction JV’s claims will not be recovered.

LITIGATION RISK - NEW ZEALAND COMMERCE COMMISSION – WINSTONE WALLBOARDS REBATES
As announced on 23 August 2024, the Commerce Commission advised Fletcher Building that it believes that Winstone Wallboards Limited’s use of retroactive tiered rebates between 1 January 2017 and 31 December 2022 amounted to a
breach of the Commerce Act and intends to file proceedings against Winstone Wallboards by late October 2024.
Winstone Wallboards disagrees with the Commerce Commission’s conclusion and intends to defend the proceedings vigorously, including because:
▪during the Building Markets Products Study, merchants told the Commerce Commission that the rebate structures were not a factor that inhibited competition; and
▪the Commerce Commission comprehensively investigated Winstone Wallboards on this topic in 2014, concluding that Winstone Wallboards' market share was driven by its attractive overall product and service offering, not the
rebates, and that the evidence did not support a conclusion the rebates breached the Commerce Act.
Any legal proceedings may take some time to be resolved and, there is no certainty on the outcome, amount or timing of any such proceedings.
FMA INVESTIGATION IN RELATION TO COMPLIANCE WITH CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE OBLIGATIONS
The Financial Markets Authority (the FMA) is currently investigating Fletcher Building’s compliance with its continuous disclosure obligations in relation to the release of information in the announcements it made on 5 February 2024 (titled
“Update on NZICC and WIAL Carpark projects”) and 14 February 2024 (titled “HY24 Results”) (the Investigation), following a referral by NZ RegCo under section 352(1)(b) of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
In June 2024, the FMA issued to Fletcher Building an information-gathering notice under section 25 of the Financial Markets Authority Act 2011 in relation to the Investigation.
The Investigation is ongoing, and the outcome is not known at this time. However, Fletcher Building believes that the release of information in the relevant announcements in February 2024 complied with its continuous disclosure
obligations. If the FMA was to determine that Fletcher Building did not comply with its continuous disclosure obligations, Fletcher Building may be subject to adverse consequences.
PEOPLE
The failure by the Group to attract, retain and engage our people (including engagement with collective representation groups) negatively impacting business units or the Group. The failure of the current processes to attract and retain
talented staff can have a negative impact on the functioning of a business unit and the Group. Additionally, industrial action by collective representation groups can cause operational disruption.
WORKPLACE HEALTH AND SAFETY
Due to the nature of the industries in which Fletcher Building operates, there is a risk of accidents or unsafe operations causing damage, injury or death. Notwithstanding the preventative measures which Fletcher Building (or any sub-
contractor) has taken or may take, there can be no assurance that accidents (for example, production or logistics) or unsafe operations will not occur and damage the environment and/or injure Fletcher Building’s own personnel or third
parties. Such events may result in additional costs and fines (including potential criminal liability in certain circumstances), or business disruption, and may jeopardise Fletcher Building’s reputation and credibility.

APPENDIX B | Key Risks (13 of 15)
TECHNOLOGY RESILIENCE
Like many businesses, Fletcher Building is dependent on information technology systems to maintain its operations. Failure to provide reliable, resilient, adaptable and efficient technology infrastructure may impact the operations of the
business units or the Group. This may in turn create reputation damage or potentially materially adversely impact the financial performance and position of the Group.
In late 2021, Fletcher Building commenced a multi-year process designed to transition all the Group’s manufacturing and distribution business units to a single integrated ERP system. In June 2024, the project was paused for 25 months as
part of the Group’s cost saving and cash preservation initiatives, with only four of the Group’s approximately 30 business units having transitioned to the platform by 30 June 2024. While remediation work is being done on legacy systems in
the interim, the pausing of this programme increases the risk of difficulties being encountered with the Group’s technology infrastructure. In addition, if a decision is taken not to recommence the project, the carrying value of the asset of
approximately $105 million may need to be significantly written-down.
DATA BREACH / CYBER SECURITY
Fletcher Building's information technology systems hold confidential personal information and other commercially sensitive information. There is a risk that data held by Fletcher Building may be accessed or used in an unauthorised
manner, including due to a cyber-attack. The frequency and sophistication of cyber-attacks on businesses is growing, and Fletcher Building has suffered security incidents. If Fletcher Building suffered a major cyber-attack or data security
breach, Fletcher Building's operations could be impacted, its reputation damaged or it could be required to incur material costs to recover critical services or repair systems or assets. Fletcher Building may also incur fines, penalties or claims
as a result of any privacy breach. Any such matters could have a material adverse effect on Fletcher Building’s financial performance and position.
INSURANCE
The availability of insurance to Fletcher Building on acceptable terms and price is not guaranteed. It is possible that the occurrence of an event may not be fully covered, or covered at all, by insurance, or that Fletcher Building may not be
able to obtain insurance cover for certain risks in the future or at commercially acceptable prices and other terms, including both in relation to its general corporate risks and also in relation to specific projects. This could have a material
adverse effect on Fletcher Building’s financial performance and position.
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Fletcher Building is subject to various laws and regulations applicable to businesses generally in New Zealand and Australia and markets in which it operates. These include statutes, regulations, standards and laws affecting land usage,
zoning, planning, building and building products, chain of responsibility, environmental, climate change, consumer protection and employment practices. Fletcher Building cannot guarantee that its business units will at all times be
successful in complying with all demands of relevant laws and regulatory authorities (including existing licences) in a manner which will not materially adversely affect its business, financial condition or results of operations.
Changes to regulation and laws may have a materially adverse effect on Fletcher Building’s business, financial condition or results of operation. For example, proposed changes to the Building Code to facilitate imports of building products
may adversely impact Fletcher Building’s operations and financial performance.

APPENDIX B | Key Risks (14 of 15)
GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS (cont.)
One specific risk results from the changes to Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) arising from the Climate Change Response (Late Payment Penalties and Industrial Allocation) Amendment Act, which was passed in August 2023. This change has
the potential to materially impact Golden Bay (GB) through increased costs and resulting market share erosion over the longer term. Because GB is the only domestic manufacturer of cement in New Zealand, the amendments have an
unintended consequence of disincentivising the acceleration of decarbonisation by GB. The amendments accelerate the timeframe for when GB incurs emission compliance costs (moving from 2040 to 2030) whilst continuing to allow
importers of higher-carbon cement to face no New Zealand ETS compliance costs. The amendments also introduce re-baselining of the GB emissions every 5 years. This will affect GB’s plans to invest in decarbonisation at the Portland plant
and as a result affects the future of cement production at its Portland plant. While Fletcher Building is currently engaging with the New Zealand Government on the issues raised by these recent amendments and Fletcher Building’s
proposed solutions, there is no certainty that the issue will be resolved in a manner that it satisfactory to GB. If this matter is not resolved in a manner that is satisfactory to GB, this could potentially require GB to considering moving to an
import model. This could potentially materially impact Fletcher Building’s financial performance and position.
Fletcher Building may be unable to obtain relevant licences, consents and approvals (and renewals) to enable it to establish new operations, progress land development opportunities or to continue operation of existing facilities, or may
suffer significant costs and delays in attempting to obtain such licences and approvals.
ENVIRONMENT
Fletcher Building is subject to a broad range of environmental laws, regulations and standards in New Zealand and Australia (including those that impose limitations on the discharge of pollutants into the air and water and establish
standards for the treatment, storage and disposal of waste products). They also impose liability on Fletcher Building for the costs of remediating contaminated sites. This results in significant compliance costs, and could expose Fletcher
Building to legal liability (including potential damage claims or fines for noncompliance) or place limitations on the development of Fletcher Building’s operations.
Additionally, Fletcher Building’s operations are subject to environmental permit requirements. If Fletcher Building cannot obtain or maintain required environmental permits for its existing and planned operations in a timely manner or at
all, Fletcher Building may be subject to additional costs or fines.
Fletcher Building’s operations entail risk of environmental damage, and Fletcher Building could incur liabilities in the future arising from the discharge of pollutants into the environment, waste disposal practices, or accidents, as well as
changes in enforcement policies or newly discovered conditions.
Some properties owned or leased by Fletcher Building contain asbestos. In the ordinary course of business, Fletcher Building complies with applicable asbestos management requirements, including maintaining registers and implementing
asbestos management programs in relation to on-site works. There is a risk that previously unidentified asbestos may be found on properties. Also, there is a risk in Australia that a person may contract an asbestos related illness and bring a
personal injury claim against Fletcher Building.
Any such matters could have a material adverse effect on Fletcher Building’s financial performance and position.

APPENDIX B | Key Risks (15 of 15)
CLIMATE CHANGE
Fletcher Building has substantial building products and concrete businesses in New Zealand and building products businesses in Australia, and as such it is exposed to risks emanating from changes in carbon related policies, both in New
Zealand and Australia, and potentially in countries for upstream supply chains, for emissions and/or energy intensive materials. Such changes may manifest initially as increased energy costs, and possibly emissions pricing mechanisms, but
may eventually also threaten reliability of supply.
While Fletcher Building endeavours to manage climate risk, including via undertaking scenario analysis to understand the risks and opportunities that climate change presents to its business currently, and into the future, it is a risk which is
rapidly evolving. Climate change presents both transition risks and physical risks (including a weather-related event). In addition, Fletcher Building’s climate reporting could also expose Fletcher Building to potential liability in certain
circumstances. A failure to adequately manage climate risk could have a material adverse impact on Fletcher Building’s financial performance and position.
UNDERWRITING RISK
Fletcher Building has entered into an underwriting agreement under which the Underwriter has agreed to fully underwrite the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement. If certain events occur, the
Underwriter may terminate the underwriting agreement.
Such "termination events" include the occurrence of events which have, or are likely to have, a material adverse effect on Fletcher Building, its shares or the Offer. These may be as a result of events specific to Fletcher Building or as a result
of external events, such as material or fundamental changes in financial, economic and political conditions in certain countries or financial markets.
Termination of the underwriting agreement would result in no proceeds being raised under the Offer and would require Fletcher Building to consider alternative funding strategies.
INVESTMENT IN EQUITY CAPITAL
There are general risks associated with investments in equity capital. In recent times the trading price of Fletcher Building’s ordinary shares on NZX and ASX has fluctuated materially. Fluctuations can occur for many reasons, including as a
result of movements in equity capital markets in New Zealand, Australia and internationally.
No assurances can be given that the New Shares will trade at or above the Offer Price. None of Fletcher Building, its directors, the underwriter, lead manager or any other person guarantees the market performance of the New Shares.

APPENDIX C | International Offer Restrictions (1 of 4)
This document does not constitute an offer of new ordinary shares ("New Shares") of the Company in any jurisdiction in which it would be unlawful. In particular, this document may not be distributed to any person, and the New Shares
may not be offered or sold, in any country outside New Zealand except to the extent permitted below.
AUSTRALIA
The offer of New Shares under the Offer is being made in Australia in reliance on the ASIC Corporations (Non-Traditional Rights Issues) Instrument 2016/84 and the ASIC Instrument 18-0268 or otherwise to persons to whom the offer of
securities for issue may lawfully be made without disclosure under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations Act) in accordance with the applicable exemptions in sections 708(8) or 708(11) of the Corporations Act. This
presentation is not a prospectus, product disclosure statement or any other formal "disclosure document" for the purposes of Australian law and is not required to, and does not, contain all the information which would be required in a
"disclosure document" under Australian law. This document may contain references to dollar amounts which are not Australian dollars, may contain financial information which is not prepared in accordance with Australian law or practices,
may not address risks associated with investment in foreign currency denominated investments and does not address Australian tax issues. The Company is a company which is incorporated in New Zealand and the relationship between it
and investors will be largely governed by New Zealand law. This document has not been and will not be lodged or registered with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission or the Australian Securities Exchange and the
Company is not subject to the continuous disclosure requirements that apply in Australia.
Prospective investors should not construe anything in this document as legal, business or tax advice nor as financial product advice for the purposes of Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act.
BERMUDA
This document may be distributed, and the New Shares may be offered and sold, only from outside Bermuda to institutional and professional investors in Bermuda. No offer or invitation to subscribe for New Shares may be made to the

or protections that would be afforded had a prospectus been filed and receipted by the securities regulator in the applicable Province. Furthermore, any resale of the New Shares in the Provinces must be made in accordance with applicable
Canadian securities laws. While such resale restrictions generally do not apply to a first trade in a security of a foreign, non-Canadian reporting issuer that is made through an exchange or market outside Canada, Canadian purchasers should
seek legal advice prior to any resale of the New Shares.
The Company as well as its directors and officers may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible for purchasers to effect service of process within Canada upon the Company or its directors or officers. All or a
substantial portion of the assets of the Company and such persons may be located outside Canada and, as a result, it may not be possible to satisfy a judgment against the Company or such persons in Canada or to enforce a judgment
obtained in Canadian courts against the Company or such persons outside Canada.

Security holders would have been
eligible to participate
Fletcher Building has chosen to undertake a Placement
and ANREO to raise capital. The board of Fletcher
Building considers that the placement and ANREO
structure is in the best interests of Fletcher Building, after
carefully considering alternative structures, and weighing
the benefits of this structure against the expected impact
on non-participating Shareholders. In determining that the
Placement and Entitlement Offer is in the best interests of
Fletcher Building, the board has considered:
(a) Fairness to Shareholders: the pro-rata nature of
an ANREO allows all Eligible Shareholders to take
up at least their pro-rata portion of the Entitlement
Offer. Eligible Retail Shareholders who take up all
their Entitlements will have the opportunity to offset
any dilution to their shareholding as a result of the
Placement by applying for additional New Shares
forming part of any shortfall in the Retail Entitlement
Offer, up to a maximum amount of New Shares
equal to 100% of their Entitlements. Eligible
Institutional Shareholders will have the opportunity
to apply for New Shares in the Placement and
which form part of any shortfall in the Institutional
Entitlement Offer. Accordingly, while the Placement
is not pro rata, Eligible Shareholders are expected
to have the opportunity to avoid or mitigate dilution.
(b) Benefits of Offer structure: The ANREO structure
is the most common pro-rata offer structure utilised
by ASX listed companies to raise equity capital, and
has a number of benefits as compared to a
renounceable pro-rata offer structure. The board
considered that the key benefits of a placement and
ANREO structure, based on independent expert
investment banking advice obtained from Jarden,
are:
(i) Better pricing: a placement and ANREO
structure allows Fletcher Building to price the
Offer at a smaller discount than would be the
case for a renounceable pro-rata offer
structure or without a placement, including as
a result of the execution certainty described
below. This minimises the dilutionary impact
on non-participating Shareholders. The offer
structure also provides certainty to existing
Shareholders as to the price they will pay to
4 of 5
subscribe for New Shares in excess of their
pro rata Entitlement given the fixed Offer
Price.
(ii) Allocation flexibility: an ANREO, together
with a placement, gives Fletcher Building
greater flexibility when selecting which
investors are allocated New Shares under the
Placement or any shortfall under the
Entitlement Offer, when compared to a
renounceable pro-rata offer structure. This
allows allocations of New Shares under the
Placement, and attributable to Unexercised
Institutional Entitlements, to be prioritised to
high-quality investors who are expected to
support the company over the long term,
enhancing the prospects of solid aftermarket
performance of the Shares.
(iii) Execution certainty: given the purpose for
which the funds are being raised under the
Offer, it is important to Fletcher Building to
have certainty as to the receipt of the Offer
proceeds. Accordingly, it was important that
the Placement and the Entitlement Offer are
fully underwritten. A placement and ANREO
are able to be more easily underwritten and at
better pricing than alternative offer structures.
In particular, the accelerated nature of an
ANREO enables completion of the Entitlement
Offer quicker than a traditional rights issue or
an accelerated renounceable entitlement
offer. This faster timetable means the period
of risk associated with potential market
volatility between the Entitlement Offer
opening and settlement is reduced, which in
turn supports greater participation by both
sub-underwriters and Shareholders, as well
as better pricing. The absence of any shortfall
bookbuilds (as seen in renounceable pro-rata
offer structures) also enables greater sub-
underwriting support. These elements have
enabled the Offer to be fully underwritten with
better pricing than would have been available
for a renounceable offer structure.
