Capital Change Notice for Placement and Institutional Entitlement Offer


Auckland, 30 September 2024: Fletcher Building Limited (“Fletcher Building” or the

“Company”) provides the attached Capital Change Notice pursuant to NZX Listing Rule

3.13.1. This notice relates to the issue of an aggregate total of 244,806,536 new ordinary

shares (“New Shares”) under the placement (“Placement”) and the institutional

component of the accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer (“Entitlement Offer”)

offer announced on 23 September 2024 (together, the “Offer”).


Aggregate gross proceeds of approximately NZ$587 million are being raised under the

Placement and institutional component of the Entitlement Offer, with approximately

NZ$113 million being raised under the retail component of the Entitlement Offer (“Retail

Entitlement Offer”).


Placement participation and allocations

For the purpose of NZX Listing Rule 4.17.9(c), and having regard to the objectives which

supported Fletcher Building's choice of offer structure (being the Placement and

Entitlement Offer):


(a) Fletcher Building invited existing eligible institutional shareholders in each of the

material jurisdictions to participate in the Placement, together with other

institutional investors.


(b) Fletcher Building's objectives for allocations under the Placement were primarily

to:


(i) treat existing eligible shareholders fairly, taking into account their pro-rata

allocation across the Placement and the Entitlement Offer;

(ii) use best efforts to allocate to eligible institutional shareholders a

minimum of their pro-rata equivalent of the Placement component of the

Offer or any lower amount bid for; and

(iii) following allocations to eligible institutional shareholders of their pro rata

equivalent across the Placement and the Institutional component of the

Entitlement Offer, allocate taking into consideration existing

shareholdings and demand leadership.

Final allocation decisions were made by Fletcher Building together with Jarden, in its

capacity as the lead manager of the Offer.


There were no significant exceptions or deviations from the objectives and criteria set

out above. As announced on 24 September 2024, all existing eligible institutional

shareholders who bid for their pro-rata allocation of the Placement were allocated at

least that amount of New Shares.


Retail Entitlement Offer

Fletcher Building reminds shareholders that the Retail Entitlement Offer closes at 5.00pm

NZDT (3.00pm AEDT) on Tuesday, 8 October 2024. The Retail Entitlement Offer is

available to eligible retail shareholders at the same application price as the Placement

and Institutional Entitlement Offer of NZ$2.40 (or A$2.20 for eligible retail shareholders in

Australia) per New Share.


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

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

their entitlements, which will assist those who wish to do so to mitigate any dilution by

the Placement (subject to available shortfall).
