Fletcher Building completes Retail Entitlement Offer


Auckland, 11 October 2024: Fletcher Building Limited (“Fletcher Building” or the

“Company”) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed the retail

entitlement offer component (“Retail Entitlement Offer”) of its NZ$418 million

underwritten 1 for 4.49 pro-rata accelerated non-renounceable entitlement offer

(“Entitlement Offer”).


Fletcher Building has raised a total of NZ$700 million under the Placement and

Entitlement Offer announced on 23 September 2024. This includes gross proceeds of

approximately NZ$587 million received under the institutional component of the

Entitlement Offer and Placement, and approximately NZ$113 million in gross proceeds

under the Retail Entitlement Offer.


Fletcher Building received strong support from its Eligible Retail Shareholders for the

Retail Entitlement Offer. Eligible Retail Shareholders subscribed for approximately

NZ$83 million of new fully paid ordinary shares in Fletcher Building (“New Shares”),

including approximately NZ$20 million of oversubscriptions.


Eligible Retail Shareholders who took up their entitlements in full and applied for New

Shares in excess of their entitlements received all of the New Shares for which they

applied, meaning they could maintain their existing percentage shareholding through

the Placement and Entitlement Offer. The effective take up rate by Eligible Retail

Shareholders was approximately 73%.


The approximately 13 million New Shares not taken up under the Retail Entitlement Offer

have been allocated to the underwriter and/or to sub-underwriters procured by the

underwriter.


The New Shares to be issued under the Retail Entitlement Offer are expected to

commence trading on the NZX Main Board and on ASX on Tuesday, 15 October 2024

and will rank equally with existing Fletcher Building fully paid ordinary shares.


Fletcher Building wishes to thank all shareholders who participated in the equity raise

for their continued support.
