1. Introduction

The Private Land and Property Fund is a fund offered under the Booster Investment Scheme 2.

This document is designed to provide potential investors with information on the Private Land and Property Fund

(the Fund) and the Booster Investment Scheme 2 (Scheme) that we believe may be material to a decision to invest in

the Fund.

The information provided complements the Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for the Fund that the investor

received so it is important that these documents are read together.

Additional information regarding the operation of the Scheme can be found in the Scheme’s Trust Deed which can be

viewed at www.booster.co.nz.

Where the term “we”, “us”, “our”, “ourselves” or “Booster” is used, we mean Booster Investment Management

Limited, the Manager of the Scheme.

It is not possible to include full information on all aspects of the Fund and the Scheme in the PDS and/or this

document and you may have further questions about the suitability of the Fund as an investment for you.

If you do have any questions, we would be pleased to hear from you. You can contact us on 0800 336 338. You can

also discuss your personal situation with your financial adviser.


2. Summary - Private Land and Property Fund

The Private Land and Property Fund is a managed fund and investors purchase units which gives them an interest in

the Fund that is proportionate to the number of units that the investor holds. The number of units that an investor

receives is dependent on the amount of money invested and the unit price of each unit issued in the Fund.

The Fund is listed on the NZX Main Board (code PLP). You can view the Fund’s NZX page at

www.nzx.com/companies/PLP.

An investor can choose to make an investment in the Fund, either by purchasing units through the Booster wrap

administration system or via the NZX through an NZX Participant (such as a broker).

Go to section 3.1 - Investing in the Fund for further information on the ways to invest into the Fund.

2.1. Investment Structure

The Fund fully invests into a separate wholesale portfolio which is also managed by Booster – the Private Land and

Property Portfolio (Wholesale Portfolio). The Wholesale Portfolio is a managed fund within the Booster Wholesale

Scheme, a separate scheme also managed by Booster Investment Management Limited (BIML or the Manager).

The Fund holds 100% of the units of the Wholesale Portfolio, and the Wholesale Portfolio holds the direct and indirect

property investments, assets, borrowings and liabilities that the investors in the Fund are exposed to. This also means

the unitholders of the Fund are exposed to the costs and charges incurred by the Wholesale Portfolio as part of the

management of the property investments and borrowings.

As the Fund increases in size, it will obtain more investment exposure to property by buying units in the Wholesale

Portfolio. Booster, in its role as the manager for the Wholesale Portfolio, continues to look for further suitable

investment opportunities, consistent with its investment strategy, and to increase its level of diversification.

As the Fund wholly invests into the Wholesale Portfolio, investors should have oversight of how their money is being

invested by the Wholesale Portfolio. The diagram below illustrates the relationship between the Fund and the

Wholesale Portfolio and provides a high-level overview of the key financial information that we consider relevant to

investor’s decision to invest in the Fund.

Page 4 of 41



As at the date of this document and since the balance date of 31 March 2024, the net asset value of the Wholesale

Portfolio has increased to over $200 million. Three key reasons for this are the acquisition of the Logistics Warehouse

in Rolleston for over $60 million and the acquisition of a Bay of Plenty Kiwifruit and Avocado Orchard and borrowing

with BNZ being significantly reduced.

Page 5 of 41


2.2. Key Financial Ratios at 31 March 2024

Key financial ratios of the Wholesale Portfolio, based on the audited financial statements for the year ending 31

March 2024 (note the borrowing situation of the Wholesale Portfolio has changed since 31 March 2024):

• Gearing ratio – 12.0%

This ratio shows the level of borrowing the Wholesale Portfolio has undertaken as a percentage of total

assets.


See ‘section 4.3 - Borrowing’ for details of the loan to value ratio (a financial covenant for the borrowing

facility in place as at the date of this document) as at 31 March 2024. The loan to value ratio differs in some

regards to the gearing ratio (for example instead of using ‘total assets’ it uses ‘secured land’). See also the

most recent fund update.


• Annual Interest cover ratio – 3.95

This ratio shows how many times earnings would be able to pay the interest debt incurred on borrowings. It is

calculated as follows:

Interest cover ratio =


(EBITDA − unrealised gains) + unrealised losses



interest expense



EBITDA is the net profit before tax plus interest, depreciation, and amortisation.


Interest expense depends on the level of borrowing throughout the year as well as interest rates – both

aspects can and do change and so the figure quoted above should not be taken as an indication of the future

ratio. The loan facility agreement with BNZ outlined in ‘section 10 – other material contracts’ includes an

interest cover financial covenant that is measured differently. See ‘section 4.3 - Borrowing’ for further details.


• Interest expense percentage – 1.18%

This shows the amount of interest as a proportion of net assets.


Interest expense depends on the level of borrowing throughout the year as well as interest rates – both

aspects can and do change and so the figure quoted above should not be taken as an indication of the future

ratio.


• Property operating expenses – 0.31%

This ratio shows the costs incurred to operate and maintain the properties as a percentage of net assets.


This figure was higher than usual for the year to 31 March 2024 due to unexpected one-off costs which arose

in large part due to repairs required to address damage caused by Cyclone Gabrielle.


Key financial ratios in this section are presented on the basis of the fund’s audited balance date (31 March

2024), however we draw investor’s attention to the subsequent events and borrowing position as at the date

of this document outlined in Section 4.3.

2.3. Further Information

Section 4.0 - Information on the Wholesale Portfolio outlines further information in respect of the direct assets and

liabilities of the Wholesale Portfolio, including specific details regarding the:

• Property Investments of the Wholesale Portfolio; and,

• Borrowings of the Wholesale Portfolio.

3. Information on the Private Land and Property Fund

3.1. Investing in the Fund

An investor can choose to make an investment in the Fund, either through:

• the Booster wrap administration system (the System); or

• an NZX Participant (such as a broker).

Investing through the System

To invest in the Fund through the System, an investor must first enter into a Client Custody agreement (Agreement)

for the System by either:

• applying directly to Booster at www.booster.co.nz/booster-investments/private-land-and-property-fund; or

• applying via a financial adviser or a financial adviser authorised to provide a Discretionary Investment

Management Service (DIMS).

The Agreement enables the investor to invest in the Fund through an account in the System and sets out the terms

and conditions upon which access is provided through the System. Under the Agreement all of the investor’s

investments are held by, and in the name of, a custodian to the System to ensure that beneficial ownership of the

investments remain with the investor, not the financial adviser or us. The custodian is Asset Custodian Nominees

Limited (ACNL), a related party of the Manager which acts as a bare trust established solely for this purpose. The

custodian of the System can change from time to time without prior notification. By accessing the Fund via the

System, the investor is not subscribing for units in the Fund directly.

Buying units on the NZX Main Board (code PLP)

You can buy units in the Fund on market at the quoted price through an NZX Participant (such as a broker). In order to

trade quoted units, you will need to have a Common Shareholder Number (CSN) an Authorisation Code (FIN) and a

relationship with an NZX Participant. See http://www.nzx.com/services/market-participants for a list of current NZX

Participants.

You can view the Fund’s NZX page at http://www.nzx.com/companies/PLP, including all announcements made on

the NZX at http://www.nzx.com/companies/PLP/announcements

Applications

We may accept or decline applications at our discretion. No interest will be paid on applications that are declined in

whole or in part (except as required by law). We may invite offers for investments in the Fund and any offer may be

underwritten. We may set minimum application amounts and balances and may waive or vary the minimum

application and balance amounts at any time. See the PDS for further information.

3.2. Risk Indicator

Information on the risk indicator for the Fund has been included in the PDS. In the PDS section 4 “What are the risks of

investing?” it is noted that the risk indicator is based on the returns data for the five years to 30 June 2024. Each

quarter, fund updates will tell you what the most recent risk indicator for the Fund is, again based on returns data for

the previous five years.

If you would like more information on the risk indicators for the Fund and of the methodology used, please contact us

on 0800 336 338.

3.3. Interest in the Fund

Investments expressed in units

The Fund is divided into units. Each unit confers an equal interest in the Fund, although investors do not acquire any

direct right or interest in any of the investments held by the Fund.

Page 7 of 41

Investments and other credits to the Scheme are used to purchase units in the Fund by the investor. Similarly,

withdrawal payments and other deductions are made by selling units.

The value of each investor’s units from time to time will depend on the value of the Fund and the number and unit

price of units held in the Fund. Investment returns (whether gains or losses) will be reflected by changes in unit

prices.

A register of unitholders in the Fund is maintained by Link Market Services Limited (Unit Registrar) which records all of

the investment details of each unitholder, including (but not limited to) number of units held, contributions,

withdrawals, tax and imputation credit information.

3.4. Calculation of Fund value and unit value

The Fund’s value (known as the ‘net asset value’ of the Fund) is calculated by deducting from the aggregate of:

• the cash forming part of the assets of the Fund; and,

• the redemption value of the units held by the Fund in the Wholesale Portfolio.

the aggregate of:

• the liabilities of the Fund; and,

• all unpaid costs, fees, charges and other material outgoings of the Fund (including the Supervisor’s and our

fee, and expenses) accrued to that date.

The unit value (unit price) for the Fund is calculated for each working day by dividing the net asset value by the

number of units on issue at the relevant time in the Fund. The Fund’s unit prices are published on Booster’s website at

www.booster.co.nz/booster-investments/private-land-and-property-fund. The unit value calculated by Booster may

differ from the quoted price on the NZX Main Board.

3.5. Income Distributions

The Fund will aim to pay quarterly distributions to investors of any net cash income received from the Wholesale

Portfolio (after allowing for tax and expenses). The payment of distributions is at the discretion of the Manager.

Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP)

Investors who are a resident in New Zealand and have an address in New Zealand on the Fund register are eligible to,

and can choose to reinvest, their distribution by participating in the DRP. As participation in the DRP is voluntary,

eligible investors are free to opt-in or opt-out of the DRP at any time with prior notice to the Manager (for direct

investors) or Link Market Services Limited (for NZX investors).

The following additional conditions apply to the DRP:

1. When the Fund announces a distribution, the Fund will also confirm whether the DRP will apply to that

distribution (i.e. the Fund can revert to paying only cash distributions at any time).

2. The price of the units issued under the DRP will be the latest available unit price on the morning of the

payment date.

3. The New Zealand tax status of the distribution will not change.

4. Any new units issued under the DRP will rank equally in all respects with existing units.

5. The Manager retains the right to determine that the DRP will not apply to a particular distribution, or will not

apply to some of a particular distribution (rather than all), with the result being that all or the relevant

proportion of that distribution will be paid in cash instead of the DRP applying.

6. Investors must complete an DRP Election Notice if they are to opt into the DRP or cease participating in the

DRP.

7. All DRP Election Notices must be received by the Manager (for investors who hold their units through

Booster) or by Link Market Services Limited (for investors investing directly on the NZX) by the Record Date of

the relevant distribution. Record Date means 5:00pm on the date fixed by the Manager for determining

Page 8 of 41

entitlements to distributions payable or credited on Fund units. An election will remain in force for all future

distributions to which the DRP applies, unless an updated DRP Election Notice is received advising the

investor no longer wants to participate in the DRP. A copy of the DRP Election Notice is available from the

Manager or if you invested into the Fund directly on the NZX, you can make your election on-line at

https://investorcentre.linkmarketservices.co.nz

Partial Units:

• Investors who hold units through Booster’s custodial service are able to hold partial units, resulting in the full

value of the distribution being reinvested without any residual cash left over.

• For investors investing directly on the NZX, the number of additional units received under the DRP will be

rounded down to the nearest whole unit (to comply with NZX rules). Any residual cash left-over shall be

carried over and applied under the DRP the next time the DRP operates. You will not accrue interest on this

residual cash balance. Should you cease to participate in the DRP; or cease to be a unitholder of the Fund,

any residual cash balances that have been carried over shall be forfeited.

Statements:

• For investors who hold units through the System, Booster will provide you with reporting in respect of all of

your investments with Booster on at least an annual basis, including details of the distribution and the

number of units received under the DRP.

• For investors investing directly on the NZX, Link Market Services Limited (Unit Registrar), will send a

statement within five trading days of the allotment of additional units issued, including details of the

distribution and the number of units received under this DRP as well as any residual cash balances carried

over.

3.6. Basis of Estimates for Fees and Costs

The total annual fund charges disclosed in the Private Land and Property Fund PDS are based on the charges

associated with investing in the Fund. These charges include the management fee and, where applicable, an estimate

for other management and administration charges. These charges, if applicable, are reflected in the unit price of the

relevant fund. Refer to section 5, “What are the fees?” of the PDS for additional details of how fees are charged.

Other Management and administration charges

In Fund Costs

These charges include the Supervisor's fee and other costs, disbursements, charges or expenses incurred directly or

indirectly by Booster and the Supervisor (such as audit fees and legal fees). Because these fees are capped, they are

stated in the PDS as 0.10% of the net asset value of the Fund per year.


Property Operating Expenses

These are the direct costs of ownership and operating the individual Properties of the Wholesale Portfolio. This

includes (but is not limited to) valuations and other property related costs and associated professional fees. The

estimate of the property operating expenses has been prepared on the following basis:

• Reasonable estimates made for costs such as valuations based on current or past costs and other property

related costs and associated professional fees.

• The actual expenses charged for the most recently completed Scheme year have been taken into account in

deriving the reasonable estimates.

Note the actual costs may differ from estimated costs, including if additional properties are purchased.

As stated in section 5 “What are the fees?” of the PDS the ongoing Property Operating Costs that the Fund will incur is

estimated to be 0.12%. The basis of this estimate is outlined above.



Page 9 of 41

Other costs and expenses

The Fund returns may also be impacted by interest and borrowing costs related to gearing undertaken by the

Wholesale Portfolio. These are the interest costs and any fees associated with the implementation or amendment of

borrowing facilities. These expenses are not considered to be Fund charges (as outlined above), but an example

illustration of these costs being an estimate based on certain assumptions is disclosed in the PDS to provide investors

an understanding of the nature and amount of the expenses that the Fund (or Wholesale Portfolio) would incur under

specific borrowing assumptions set out in the PDS.

As stated in section 5 “What are the fees” of the PDS the interest and borrowing costs that would be incurred under

the illustrative assumptions set out in the PDS are calculated to be 5.25% of the net assets of the Fund. Pursuant to

the PDS, this assumes the following borrowing assumptions:

• A gearing ratio of 40% is in place.

• An interest rate of 7.88% is charged, being the interest rate available at the date of the PDS (noting that the

interest rate generally resets periodically).

• A non-utilisation fee of 1.0%.

In addition to these estimates, we draw investors’ attention to the fund’s current borrowing position outlined in

Section 4.3.

4. Information on the Wholesale Portfolio

The Private Land and Property Portfolio (Wholesale Portfolio) is a managed fund established under the Booster

Investment Scheme, a separate wholesale scheme managed by the Manager. The Private Land and Property Fund

(Fund) is the sole investor in the Wholesale Portfolio and holds 100% of the units issued by the Wholesale Portfolio.

This section outlines the information that is relevant to investors in the Fund, but directly relates to the operations of

the Wholesale Portfolio.

4.1. Property Investments of the Wholesale Portfolio

Details of the investments held by the Wholesale Portfolio as at the date of this document are provided below.

In addition to the investments listed below, the Wholesale Portfolio will from time to time consider further

investment opportunities. Booster undertakes a due diligence process for each prospective investment to assess the

sustainable long term cashflows and its potential match with the investment criteria for the Wholesale Portfolio.

Notes on the Property:

Planted as far back as 1993 in land near Richmond, these vineyards comprise 102.6 canopy hectares of predominantly

Sauvignon Blanc with some Albarino, Cabernet Franc, Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer, Gruner Veltliner, Pinot Gris, Pinot

Noir, Riesling, Sauvignon Gris, Syrah, and Viognier.

Established in the stony alluvial soils of the Waimea Plains with various plant spacing configurations and very low frost risk,

the vineyards source irrigation water from the Waimea East Irrigation Scheme.

In early 2018, a presence of Leaf Roller Virus was identified in part of the 416 Main Road, East Hope vineyard that has the

potential to reduce grape harvest yields over the medium to longer term. As a result, roughly 11.4 canopy hectares were

removed shortly after harvest which have now been replanted and are expected to reach full maturity by 2025.

*The vineyard at Lansdowne Rd was replanted in 2022 and 2023 due to vine health and age, with the varieties of grapes

selected adjusted to take into account demand. As a result of this, the lease on this vineyard only was separated from the

existing lease and extended to 2052 with the lessor having the right to break the lease in 2037 to allow the term to align to

the other vineyards.

The warehouse facility takes up the majority of the site and has been built to a high standard for logistics purposes. The

property also includes office space which account for around 2% of the lettable area. The Stud Height is 18.4 metres at the

apex of the roof which is beneficial for logistics operations. The building also has a join which acts as a natural break to

allow for multiple tenants to operate out of the warehouse if required.

WROLP or DGHL give notice of termination) until a final expiry date

of 31 May 2036

Last independent valuation

As the asset has been recently acquired, no post purchase

independent valuation of WROLP has yet been commissioned.

The key property owned by WROLP being the orchard was

acquired by WROLP on 7 October 2024 for $14,100,000. This was

at a discount to an independent market valuation of the underlying

property of $15,035,000 dated May 2024. Because the purchase

price was less than the market valuation, the purchase price has

been used as a key input into our valuation of WROLP.

The valuation of WROLP differs from the valuation of the orchard

that it owns due in part to the fact that WROLP has other assets

such as an amount of cash for working capital requirements.

Notes on the Property:

WROLP was established to acquire an orchard in the Western Bay of Plenty. The orchard consists of mature SunGold

TM

kiwifruit, Hayward green kiwifruit and mixed age Hass avocados. WROLP has engaged DGHL to manage the orchard.

All kiwifruit grown on the property is sold on WROLP’s behalf by Zespri which may be across a number of different

markets.

Business cases for the conversion of up to 10.6 canopy hectares of Hayward green kiwifruit and avocados to SunGold

TM


kiwifruit will be completed after settlement and if a decision is made to undertake any such conversion, development

would commence after the 2025 harvest at the earliest.

Notes on the Property investments:

1. The value of the Property is at 30 September 2024 based on the Manager’s assessment of the most recent independent

valuation (or at cost as at the purchase date where purchased within the last 12 months). The Manager reviews the valuation

of Property on at least a quarterly basis and the Manager’s valuation assessment is supported by the independent valuations

received for each Property:

• For the Awatere based land, the Manager’s valuations are derived from the latest independent valuations.

• For the Hope, Nelson based land, the fund adopted a value that represents its current rental potential per the lease

terms, and a portion of the open market value that is available to the fund at the end of the lease. In this period, the

fund’s returns will therefore comprise both rental income and an assessed portion of the open market value that

could be realised in the future. Periodic valuation reports will also reassess the open market value and any

adjustment will be recognised as valuation evidence requires.

• For Hawke’s Bay based land and buildings, the Manager’s valuation is derived from the latest independent valuation.

• For Mahana, Nelson based land and buildings, the Manager’s valuation is derived from the latest independent

valuation.

• For the orchard in Kerikeri, the Manager’s valuation is supported by the latest independent valuation which includes

an “as is” and “as mature” valuation as the land is under development. The unit price recognises incremental

increases in the value for the land not yet fully mature. The returns associated with this property include lease

revenue and a recognition of the gain in value of the Kiwifruit vines as they reach maturity.

• For Waimea West Hops, the Manager’s valuation is supported by the latest independent valuation. The returns

associated with this investment include any dividends received.

• For the orchards in the Bay of Plenty and Far North, the Manager’s valuation is supported by the latest independent

valuation which includes an “as is” and “as mature” valuation as the land is under development. The unit price

recognises incremental increases in the value for the land not yet fully mature. The returns associated with this

property include lease revenue and a recognition of the gain in value of the avocado trees as they reach maturity.

• For the Southland dairy land and buildings, the Manager’s valuation is derived from the latest independent

valuations.

• For the Rolleston logistics warehouse the Manager’s valuation is derived from the latest independent valuation.

2. For WROLP the key asset WROLP owns is a Bay of Plenty kiwifruit and avocado orchard - the Manager’s valuation of WROLP is

based significantly off its view of the valuation of this orchard. The orchard has been valued at WROLP’s October 2024

purchase price of $14.1 million noting this was less than the May 2024 independent valuation (instructed by the vendor) of

$15 million. The valuation of WROLP differs from that of the orchard that it owns as WROLP owns other assets such as an

amount of cash for working capital purposes. The key terms of each of the material contracts related to the Property of the

Wholesale Portfolio can be found in section 10.0 – Other Material Contracts of this document.

3. Waimea West Hops Limited owns shares in a grower co-operative (New Zealand Hops Limited) which markets, distributes and

sells hops on behalf of growers. New Zealand Hops Limited enters into separate contracts (typically rolling 2 year contracts)

with end customers in New Zealand and internationally. Waimea West Hops Limited owns a proportional shareholding in New

Page 21 of 41

Zealand Hops Limited that reflects its total harvest volumes.

4. Debt ratio is of Waimea West Hops Limited and is calculated as net debt divided by total assets as per information in financial

statements for Waimea West Hops Limited for the year ended 31 December 2023.

4.2. Property Development Projects

There are various property development projects currently in place to maintain, improve and enhance the Properties.

The Manager of the Wholesale Portfolio approves all property development and the associated capital expenditure

required to complete the development. The project work completed on the Properties is expected to affect the

valuation of the property, which is reflected in the unit price of the Wholesale Portfolio.

A summary of the material property development projects that are currently underway are detailed below:

Kerikeri kiwifruit and lemon orchard

The orchard, purchased in 2019, contains 19.6 hectares of SunGold kiwifruit, mostly grafted in 2019 and 2020 as well as

11 hectares of mature Yen Ben lemons and 2.7 hectares of new Yen Ben lemon plantings. A small section of the kiwifruit

(2 hectares) is mature. It is expected all vines will reach full maturity in 2026. Based on the expected as mature valuation

as assessed by an independent valuer, the Manager considers that the orchard’s value will increase by $2.4m from the

most recent independent valuation (excluding any general market driven change in land values over that time).

For unit pricing purposes, the net asset value of the land is increased at the internal rate of return calculated at the

outset of the development project based on input from external valuers.

Bay of Plenty and Far North Avocado Orchards

The four orchards, Ngataki Orchard & Hukatere Orchard in the Far North, Uretata Orchard in Bay of Plenty and Amber

Grove in Gisborne were originally purchased for $17.5 million with approximately 50% of the blocks planted with young

avocado trees which have not yet reached full maturity. The young avocados were planted between 2017 and 2020

with the most recent plantings expected to reach maturity by early 2028. Based on the assessment of external valuers

the as mature value of the orchards is expected to be $17.9 million.

For unit pricing purposes the four orchards have been treated collectively as they all sit under a single lease

arrangement. The unit price is based on the internal rate of return calculated at the time of purchase of the orchards

based on input from external valuers, with the development gains on the orchard recognised as each planting reaches

maturity.

4.3. Borrowing

The Fund may not borrow, but it has an indirect exposure to borrowings via the Wholesale Portfolio which has its own

borrowing facility. The Wholesale Portfolio may gear up to 65% of its total assets and has a target of 40%.

As at the date of this document, a summary of the loans in place are as follows:

The Wholesale Portfolio has a revolving 4.75-year loan facility with BNZ Bank of New Zealand Limited (BNZ). As

security for the borrowings, BNZ has a first ranking general security interest over the Wholesale Portfolio assets (other

than shares in Waimea West Hops Limited). The unpaid principal and interest in respect of these borrowings is taken

into account in the unit value of units in the Wholesale Portfolio. In the event of a wind up of the Wholesale Portfolio,

any unpaid principal and interest in respect of the borrowings will rank ahead of the interests of investors in the

Wholesale Portfolio and will need to be paid before any payment of the residual value can be paid to its investors,

which is currently just the Fund.

As at 30 September 2024, a summary of the loans in place are as follows:

Facility Facility Limit Drawn down Interest Rate Expiry Date

Customised Average Rate Term

Loan (CARL)

$30,000,000 $3,000,000 3-month Bank Bill

Benchmark Rate + 2.20%

2027

Total borrowings $30,000,000 $3,000,000


In addition to the interest rate, there is a non-utilisation fee of 1.0% calculated on undrawn loan amounts. The

repayment of any principal outstanding falls due on the expiry date noted above. It is the Manager’s intention (as

Page 22 of 41

manager of the Wholesale Portfolio) to seek to arrange an extension or refinance prior to the end of the facility’s

term, but no steps in this regard have been taken.

In order to maintain the loan facility, certain financial covenants must be met. The financial covenants for the loans,

and their ratios are as follows:

Financial Covenant Covenant position

Loan to value ratio is not to exceed 50% of the value of the

Secured Land

Gearing ratio of 1.5% as of 30

September 2024

Interest cover ratio (EBITDA to interest costs) is to exceed 2

times)

4.9:1 for the year to 31 March 2024

Note:

• The loan to value ratio is how much the Wholesale Portfolio owes (interest bearing debt/ borrowings) as a

portion of the value (with reference to the most recent independent valuations) of the Secured Land.

Secured Land means the property assets owned by the Wholesale Portfolio that BNZ has a security interest

over (as at the date of this document this includes all property assets other than shares in Waimea West

Hops Limited).

• The interest cover ratio of the Wholesale Portfolio is calculated annually as EBITDA divided by the interest

and borrowing costs on senior debt. EBITDA is calculated as the sum of operating profit or loss before

transaction costs, interest expense, the BIML management fee, income tax, depreciation and amortisation.

For further information on this loan facility, refer to section 10.0 - Other Material Contracts below.

In addition to the borrowing undertaken directly, the Wholesale Portfolio may also have indirect borrowings through

its investments (depending upon the structure of the investment). Waimea West Hops Limited (the company through

which the Wholesale Portfolio holds its investment in hop growing land) utilises its own borrowings. The extent of the

borrowings is disclosed in the information on Waimea West Hops Limited (on page 14).


5. Guarantees

No person, including us, the Supervisor, the government or any other party, guarantees the performance, returns or

repayment of capital of the Scheme, the Fund or of the Wholesale Portfolio.


6. Taxation

The information in this section is intended as general guidance only and is based on legislation in effect at the date of

this document. There may be various non-New Zealand tax consequences which affect the Scheme and non-New

Zealand resident investors that are not addressed here. We recommend that investors seek professional tax advice

regarding their individual circumstances, to clarify any of the following, prior to investing. Investors should also

periodically monitor the tax implications of investing in the Scheme and should not assume that the position will

remain the same as it was when they started investing.

Neither the Supervisor nor the Manager accepts any responsibility for the taxation consequences of an investor’s

investment in the Scheme.

The Private Land and Property Fund is a Listed Portfolio Investment Entity (Listed PIE). The following information is

based on the Fund being a Listed PIE.

6.1. Portfolio Investment Entity (PIE) Tax

Under the PIE regime for Listed PIEs, the Fund will pay tax at 28% on all taxable income it earns.

Page 23 of 41

When the Fund pays a distribution to its investors then, to the extent that it has imputation credits as a result of

income tax it has paid, it will attach those imputation credits to the distribution to the maximum extent permitted by

law.

To the extent a distribution does not have imputation credits attached (referred to as excluded income), the

distribution is not taxable to the investor. The effect is that any income earned by the Fund that is not taxable to the

Fund can be distributed to investors free from any further tax.

For that portion of the distribution that has imputation credits attached at 28%, a New Zealand tax resident individual

or trustee (other than a trustee of a unit trust) can choose to include this in their tax return. By including the

distribution in their tax return, an investor that has a marginal tax rate of less than 28% can apply the benefit of any

surplus tax credits against their other taxable income (or carry forward those tax credits to future tax years). For a

New Zealand resident individual or trustee (other than a trustee of a unit trust) with a marginal tax rate of 28% or

more, this income does not need to be included in their tax return, as the tax paid by the Listed PIE at 28% is deemed

a final tax. Other investors (e.g. a company, charity or unit trust) are taxed on Fund distributions that have imputation

credits attached.

For investors who are not resident in New Zealand for New Zealand tax purposes, non-resident withholding tax

(NRWT) of up to 15% will be withheld from that portion of a distribution that is fully imputed, although the NRWT rate

may be reduced to the extent that the non-resident investor has a direct voting interest of 10% or more of the units in

the Fund or, in some cases, under an applicable double tax agreement.

Tax on investments made by the Fund

As the Fund is registered as a PIE, any capital gains made by the Fund in respect to property, shares in New Zealand

resident companies and certain Australian resident listed companies are excluded from the calculation of taxable

income. Most overseas shares and interests in managed funds held by the Fund will be taxed under the foreign

investment fund (FIF) regime, generally using the fair dividend rate (FDR) method.

Under the FDR method, the Fund will be deemed to have derived income equal to 5% of the market value of its

overseas shares and interests in managed funds calculated on a daily basis (any dividends or other returns flowing

from overseas shares and interests in managed funds will not be separately taxed in New Zealand). Also under the

FDR method, tax deductions may not be made for any losses in respect of holdings in overseas shares and interests in

managed funds.

Other income of the Fund (e.g. interest on bank deposits) is subject to the relevant normal tax rules. Tax may be

imposed in overseas jurisdictions in relation to overseas investments (although this may give rise to a tax credit in

New Zealand).

The Fund also currently receives an indirect tax timing benefit from the depreciation the Wholesale Portfolio claims on

its Property.

6.2. Tax Reporting

Under various agreements and treaties the Fund and/or the Manager may be required to provide information to tax

authorities in jurisdictions outside of New Zealand. We may request this information from you in order to discharge

those obligations.

The Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA)

FATCA is legislation that was introduced by the United States Government as a means of preventing tax evasion by US

citizens and tax residents. FATCA has been adopted by the New Zealand Government through an Intergovernmental

Agreement with the US Government (the ‘IGA’) and enabling domestic legislation. Under the IGA, certain New

Zealand financial institutions, such as the Trust, are required to identify investors that are US persons (or certain

entities controlled by US persons), and to report certain information about those investors and their financial

accounts to Inland Revenue. This information is collated by Inland Revenue and passed to the US Internal Revenue

Service. For more information on FATCA, please refer to the Inland Revenue website:

https://www.ird.govt.nz/international-tax/exchange-of-information/fatca/about-fatca. The Scheme has been

registered for FATCA purposes.

Page 24 of 41

Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information in Tax Matters (AEOI) and Common Reporting Standard (CRS)

AEOI and CRS imposes global rules for the purpose of avoiding offshore tax evasion through the exchange of financial

information between tax authorities in different overseas jurisdictions. Additional information must be obtained from

investors to determine whether any investor are non-tax residents of New Zealand (i.e. resident for tax in another

country) and for any non-tax residents of New Zealand, report certain information such as tax residency, account

balances and interest earned, to the New Zealand Inland Revenue. Accordingly, we may require additional information

from investors in order to comply with these obligations. For more information on AEOI and CRS, please refer to the

Inland Revenue website:

https://www.ird.govt.nz/international-tax/exchange-of-information/crs/important-documents

General Comments

Tax law is complex and changes frequently. Investors should periodically monitor the tax implications of investing in

the Scheme and should not assume that the position will remain the same as it is when they start investing. In

addition, if the Fund ceases to qualify as a Listed PIE then the tax consequences will be different from what is set out

above. The comments under this section “Taxation” are provided as general background only and are not a

comprehensive discussion of tax issues.


7. Information about the Scheme

7.1. Suspension

There will be times when we believe that it is not practicable for a unit price to be calculated fairly. This may happen

where, for example, there is significant disruption in the relevant property markets and market valuations are unable

to be reliably assessed, or where the Fund (or any underlying fund) has had a significant request for withdrawals

beyond the level of liquidity it can make available. If we are not able to calculate the unit price for the Fund, the issue

of units and the payment of withdrawals, in relation to the Fund, will be suspended.

The period of suspension can be up to 90 days. This can be extended by agreement between us and the Supervisor.

Investors who have provided a withdrawal notice will be notified of the suspension.

Units in respect of investments received during a period of suspension will be allocated at the unit price calculated at

the end of the suspension period. Similarly, payments in respect of any withdrawals will be made at the unit price

calculated at the end of the suspension period.

7.2. Amendment of the Trust Deed

We and the Supervisor may amend the Trust Deed in certain circumstances where we believe this to be necessary or

desirable. Any amendment will be carried out in accordance with the Trust Deed and investors will be notified of such

amendments in the Annual Report for the Scheme. For further information, please refer to the Trust Deed.

7.3. Winding up the Fund and the Scheme

The Scheme can be wound up in accordance with the Trust Deed. For further information, refer to the Trust Deed.

If we believe that it is in investors’ best interests, we can propose to wind up the Fund at any time by giving notice. If

the wind up of the Fund goes ahead, investors may be given the opportunity of switching to an alternative fund. If this

is the case, any investor who does not advise us that they have chosen an alternative fund will be switched to a

default fund nominated by us. Upon the winding up of the Fund, the assets of the Fund are realised and, after

payment of all liabilities, the proceeds are distributed to the investors that held units in the Fund in proportion to the

numbers of units held by them immediately prior to winding up.

7.4. Market Indices

Generally, each asset class in which any of the Scheme’s investments are held is measured, for performance purposes,

against an appropriate benchmark index.

Page 25 of 41

The purpose of a benchmark index is to reflect the performance of the Fund in comparison to that of the overall

market for the asset class or asset classes in which the Fund is invested. Such benchmark indices are widely

recognised in financial markets and are administered independently from us.

The indices used are generally included in the Scheme’s Statement of Investment Policies and Objectives (‘SIPO’),

which can be found at www.booster.co.nz. However, due to the specialised nature of the investment strategy of the

Fund no appropriate securities index or peer group index exists. The absence of an appropriate securities index or

peer group index means that the Fund’s performance will not be benchmarked against a reference return in the fund

updates.

9. Conflicts of interest

Conflicts of interests are circumstances where some or all of the interests of investors for whom we, as Manager of

the Scheme, provide financial services, are inconsistent with, or diverge from, some or all of the interests of the

Manager or its representatives. This includes actual, apparent and potential conflicts of interest.

We recognise that conflicts of interest can arise at any time. We also recognise that we are responsible for identifying

any conflicts and for ensuring that adequate arrangements are in place to ensure that they are managed.

The following are situations where conflicts of interest may arise that could reasonably be expected to materially

influence the investment decisions of the manager in respect of the Fund. This is not an exhaustive list:

Description of conflict of interest Why this may influence

investment decisions in respect

of the Fund

How we manage the conflict (see

below the table as well)

Contractual arrangements are

entered into between related

parties. See 9.1 Related Party

Transactions – contractual

arrangements for further

information.


There is a risk that

arrangements entered into (as

part of investment decisions)

may favour the related party to

the detriment of the Fund

(including via the Wholesale

Fund), or that the related party

may not meet its obligations to

the detriment of the Fund due

to the close association of the

parties.


Controls are in place to ensure that

such arrangements are completed at

arms-length and on commercial

terms (as required by the Trust Deed

governing the operation of the

Scheme). Controls may include

reference to independent valuations

and industry datasets.


Steps taken may include segregation

of duties where appropriate, and

appropriate governance structures

are in place.

Related parties may be in a

position to exert influence over

Booster (for example where they

have shared directors and/or

contractual links with Booster);

and/or individuals may be

influenced to direct the Fund to

invest in specific investments or

in a certain way (for example due

to them holding interests in the

Fund or in another investment, or

in the Booster Group, or other

roles).


There is a risk that such

influence is exerted to impact

investment / investment

management decisions in

relation to the fund to achieve

objectives that differ from the

Fund’s objective.


Controls are in place to ensure that

related party transactions are

completed at arms-length, are

consistent with the respective

fund’s objectives, and are on

commercial terms (as required by

the Trust Deed governing the

operation of the Scheme). Controls

may include reference to

independent valuations and

oversight of independent director in

relation to material transactions.


Steps taken may include segregation

of duties where appropriate, and

appropriate governance structures

are in place.

The Fund invests into the

Wholesale Portfolio which is also

managed by Booster.


Booster earns a management

fee in relation to the Wholesale

Portfolio and in relation to the

Fund.


There is a risk that investment

decisions are made for the

benefit of the Wholesale

Portfolio and Booster as its

manager rather than the Fund.


Booster rebates to the Fund the

value of the Wholesale Portfolio fee

(so there is no additional

management fee earned by

Booster).


Controls are in place to ensure that

any arrangements between the

Fund and the Wholesale Portfolio

are completed at arms-length and

on commercial terms (as required by

the Trust Deed governing the

operation of the Scheme). Controls

may include reference to industry

benchmarks.

Page 28 of 41

Other situations where conflicts of interest may arise but are not expected to materially influence the investment

decisions of the manager in respect of the Fund exist. For example:

• Investment values artificially inflated to increase fees based on net asset values, or to inflate historic

performance to attract/retain investors.

• Investment knowledge used by an individual employee to their own benefit (insider trading).

• Intra month applications or withdrawals available to the Booster funds but not external investors may have a

detrimental impact to external investors.

• Internal trading between Booster funds which could be detrimental to one or other.

• Other Booster funds may buy or sell units on the NZX Main Board at trading prices that may be a premium or

discount to the unit price issued by the Manager.

How we manage conflicts

A comprehensive policy has been developed relating to the management of conflicts of interest. Procedures and

processes have been put in place for:

• Identifying conflicts of interest.

• Controlling conflicts of interest.

• Avoiding conflicts of interest.

• Disclosing conflicts of interest.

As part of the conflict of interest procedures, the Manager will not buy or sell units in circumstances where its

directors or senior management is aware of material information that is not known to the market or reflected in the

unit price. This will also apply where redemptions from the Fund are suspended due to being unable to determine a

fair redemption price.

9.1. Related Party Transactions – contractual arrangements

Conflicts of interest may arise with regard to services that are, or that may be, provided by related parties of ourselves

or the Supervisor to the Scheme.

The Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013, and Trust Deed governing the operation of the Scheme include provisions

that generally prevent us, as Manager, or BFSL from entering into arrangements with a related party in relation to the

Scheme that involve related party benefits

1

, unless certain steps are taken (for example transactions are completed on

arm’s length / commercial terms) and appropriate certification is provided to the Supervisor. In addition, both we and

the Supervisor must, at all times, act in the best interests of investors when performing any duties in relation to the

Scheme. Controls are in place to ensure that related party transactions are managed appropriately.

The Fund is permitted to invest in cash and cash equivalents and units in the Wholesale Portfolio, a fund we also

manage and a related party to the Fund. All investment activity between the Fund and the Wholesale Portfolio is

completed on an arm’s length basis.

Fund – Related party contracts

The following contractual arrangements for the provision of services by related parties are currently in place:

• the Custodian, which is a related company of the Supervisor, has been appointed by the Supervisor to act as

custodian and to hold the investments of the Scheme.

10. Other material contracts

The following is a summary of the nature and key terms of material contracts that have been entered into in respect

of the Wholesale Portfolio. Where a contract is between related parties, a description of how these parties are

associated is detailed. The below contracts have been entered into on an arm’s length basis.

Net Grape Supply Agreement

Nature of the Contract The Wholesale Portfolio sells the grapes it produces from its Marlborough based land to Booster Wine Group

Limited Partnership (BWG), a related party to Booster.

Vineyard management is undertaken by Awatere River Vineyards Limited (ARVL), a related party to Booster

under terms which are approved by the Manager of the Wholesale Portfolio. ARVL manages the land and the

production of the grapes. Vineyard management costs are set in terms of agreed activities and charges that

are reported to, and monitored by, the Manager.

The Wholesale Portfolio has arrangements under which it sells grapes at market related prices net of the

agreed vineyard management costs (which are the responsibility of the grape buyer).


Description This agreement relates to:

a) the sale of grapes grown on the following vineyards owned by the Wholesale Portfolio; and

b) the provision of vineyard management services for the following vineyards owned by the

Wholesale Portfolio:

• 2 Flemings Road, Seddon, Marlborough

• 75 Barewood Road, Seddon, Marlborough

• 206 Upton Downs Road, Seddon, Marlborough

Under this agreement, the Grower grows grapes on these vineyards and then agrees to sell, and BWG agrees

to buy, the contracted tonnes of grapes produced on the contracted blocks on these vineyards for its

winemaking business.

Parties Awatere River Vineyards Limited (ARVL)

ARVL is the appointed manager of the vineyards.

PT (Booster Investments) Nominees Limited (Grower/Owner)

The Grower/Owner is the custodian of the vineyards held by the Wholesale Portfolio.

Page 30 of 41

Grower/Owner under this agreement are met.

Related Parties ARVL is 50% owned by ARWCL and 50% by Waimea Estates (Nelson) Limited (WENL), both of which are

wholly owned subsidiaries of the Booster Wine Group Limited Partnership (BWG).

BWG is 97.22% owned by the Booster Tahi Limited Partnership (BTLP). BTLP is managed by Booster Funds

Management Limited (BFML).

Both BFML and BIML (the Manager of this Fund and the Wholesale Portfolio) are 100% owned by Booster

Financial Services Limited (BFS).

The arrangements are entered in to on an arm’s length commercial basis.

Term 1 April 2020 to 31 May 2030

Pricing Principles The Wholesale Portfolio has arrangements under which it sells grapes so that the vineyard management

costs are the responsibility of the grape buyer. These costs which are charged by ARVL are set in terms of

agreed activities and charges that are reported to, and monitored by, the Wholesale Portfolio.

Establishment of the Grape Price component

BWG will establish a price to be paid for the grapes annually, which will be based on certain factors outlined

in the agreement. These factors include:

• The price paid for grapes of the same varietal as reported by the ‘Viticulture Model Benchmarking

Report’ for Marlborough (produced by New Zealand Wine) from the previous vintage (or any other

industry report that the parties agree to use); and

• The current supply and demand for grapes of the same varietal and bearing similar characteristics as the

relevant grapes.

The final price paid will ultimately be agreed by both parties.

Sub-Standard Grapes

The grapes grown on these vineyards must meet the Viticultural Standards outlined in this agreement.

However, if any of the grapes do not meet the required standards, BWG can propose a price for the sub-

standard grapes, which the Grower can either choose to accept or reject the price. If the Grower rejects the

price, BWG will be deemed to have rejected the sub-standard grapes and the Grower will then be able to find

another buyer for these grapes.

Excess Tonnes

If the Grower produces more than the contracted tonnes, BWG will agree to purchase the additional tonnes.

The price for any additional tonnes of grapes will be 50% of the agreed price of the contracted tonnes.

ARVL’s Establishment of the Vineyard Management Fee component

The vineyard management fee component of the net grape supply agreement is based on an agreed annual

price per hectare of vineyard land, the age of the vines (from the time the vines are planted), and the

number of hectares planted.

ARVL’s Responsibilities

• ARVL is responsible for providing the vineyard management services (which are outlined in the

agreement) to the Owner of the vineyards.

• Each year ARVL is required to provide the Owner with:

- an intended work plan for the following annual period and the expected production and quality levels

for the forthcoming annual period and the following two annual periods; and

- a budget of anticipated capital expenditure for the forthcoming annual period for the Owner’s

approval. Any capital expenditure not contemplated under this budget will usually require the

approval of the Owner before any purchases are made.

Page 31 of 41

• ARVL is also responsible for all operating costs in the provision of the services under the agreement.

Termination The agreement may be terminated with immediate effect by the grower or BWG if an event of default occurs

as outlined in the agreement, and the party not in default has given notice in writing to the defaulting party.

A default event includes the failure to deliver the grapes to BWG (unless BWG has provided prior approval in

writing), changes to the legal status of a party (for example a party ceases to do business), or a party

breaches the terms of the agreement, and they are not remedied within the agreed timeframes.
