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).
