Capital Return to Shareholders – Final Court Orders Received


Tower Limited (Tower) has received final orders from the High Court on 12 March 2025,

approving the return of approximately NZ$45 million of capital to its shareholders.


On 16 December 2024 Tower announced that it had received initial orders from the High Court

to seek shareholders’ approval for the return of capital at its ASM on 11 February 2025.


The return of capital is on a pro rata basis, by way of a scheme of arrangement under Part 15 of

the Companies Act 1993. The return of capital was approved at a meeting of shareholders on

11 February 2025 with 99.25% of the votes cast, being cast in favour of the resolution. As

previously announced on 21 October 2024, IRD approval that no part of the capital return is in

lieu of the payment of a dividend has also been obtained.


The scheme will involve Tower’s shareholders:

• having one (1) share cancelled for every ten (10) shares held (together with all rights

attaching to those shares) on the record date. Fractions of a share will be rounded up or

down to the nearest whole number (with 0.5 rounded down); and


• receiving a cash sum of NZ$1.1858 for each share cancelled. Australian registered

shareholders will receive these funds in Australian dollars at an exchange rate

approved by Tower on or about the record date.


The scheme remains subject to the Board, at its sole discretion, remaining satisfied that Tower

is complying with solvency and regulatory capital requirements, including under its capital

management process requirements, and that it remains prudent to undertake the scheme, in

each case, up to the time the scheme is given effect by cancellation of shares, being 20 March

2025. As at the date of this announcement, the Board remains satisfied in relation to these

matters.


Set out below is the timetable for the capital return:
