On 31 March 2025, Dent entered into a block trade agreement (the Agreement) with

Managers) (amongst others) under which Dent appointed the Joint Lead Managers to use
their best endeavours to procure purchasers for 68,306,802 ordinary shares in Tower
Limited (being its entire holding) for a fixed price of NZ$1.30 per share (or
NZ$88,798,842.60 in aggregate). A copy of the Agreement is attached to this notice (12

Pursuant to the Agreement, 68,306,802 ordinary shares in Tower Limited held by Dent
have been allocated to investors, at a sale price of NZ$1.30 per share, with settlement
expected to occur on 3 April 2025. As a consequence of those allocations, there is a
qualification on the power of Bain to dispose of, or control the disposal of, such shares.

SALE AGREEMENT
Monday, 31 March 2025 PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL
Pricing Terms and Settlement Arrangements
Seller: Dent Issuer Designated Activity Company
Issuer: Tower Limited (NZBN 9429040323299)
Securities: 68,306,802 fully paid ordinary shares in the Issuer (the “Securities”).
Sale Price: NZ$1.30 per Security
Fees: As agreed between the parties.
Trade Date: Tuesday, 1 April 2025
Settlement Date: Thursday, 3 April 2025
The Seller appoints Forsyth Barr Limited (FBL) and Goldman Sachs New Zealand Limited (NZBN
9429039364715; FSP 37443) (GSNZ) to manage the sale of the Securities as joint arrangers, lead managers
and bookrunners, in conjunction with their respective affiliates (FBL and GSNZ each a “JLM” and together the
“JLMs”) and to use their best endeavours to procure purchasers for the Securities:
(i) to persons that are not in the United States in "offshore transactions" (as defined in Rule 902(h) under the
U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“U.S. Securities Act”) in accordance with Regulation S under
the U.S. Securities Act (“Regulation S”); or
(ii) in the United States only to
dealers or other professional fiduciaries organised, incorporated or (if an
individual) resident in the United States that are acting for an account (other than an estate or trust) held
for the benefit or account of persons that are not "U.S. persons" (as defined in Rule 902(k) under the U.S.
Securities Act (being U.S. Persons) for which they have, and are exercising, investment discretion, within
the meaning of Rule 902(k)(2)(i) of Regulation S (“Eligible U.S Fund Managers”) in reliance on
Regulation S,
in each case, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement (“Sale”). The JLMs have received
specific instructions from the Seller directing the JLMs to dispose of the Securities in the ordinary course of their
financial services business.
By 10.00am on the business day prior to the Settlement Date (or by the time and date otherwise agreed between
the Seller and the JLMs), the Seller will deliver the Securities for which Valid Applications have actually been
received by the JLMs (“Transfer Securities”) to Forsyth Barr Group Limited (“FBGL”) and/or Goldman Sachs
Australia Pty Ltd (ABN 21 006 797 897; AFSL 243346) (“GSA”) (FBGL and GSA, each a “Settlement Agent”
and together, the “Settlement Agents”), as directed in writing by the JLMs, in such form as constitutes valid
deliveries between brokers.
A “Valid Application” for the purposes of this agreement means a formal bid or other commitment lodged with
the JLMs in accordance with the instructions provided by or on behalf of the JLMs (and the JLMs may treat, in
whole or in part, an application under the Sale as not a Valid Application if the JLMs do not believe, acting
reasonably, that the application constitutes an irrevocable commitment by the purchaser to acquire the
Securities).
Subject to the delivery of the Transfer Securities to the Settlement Agent(s) by the Seller as contemplated
above, the Settlement Agent(s) will pay the Seller, or procure the payment to the Seller of, the Aggregate Price.
The “Aggregate Price” shall refer herein to (x) the Transfer Securities multiplied by (y) the Sale Price (as
defined above). The Aggregate Price does not include, and the Seller is responsible for and shall pay, all transfer
taxes, goods and services, stamp taxes and other duties incident to the sale and delivery of the Securities.
Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a commitment by the JLMs or Settlement Agents to underwrite the Sale
or purchase any Securities. In the event that the JLMs are unable to find purchasers for all or any of the
Securities, neither the JLMs (nor Settlement Agents) are under any obligation or liability to themselves purchase
any Securities. Furthermore, the JLMs role is to manage the sale of the Securities, and to use their best
endeavours to procure purchasers for the Securities on a best endeavors basis, and the JLMs do not acquire,
by virtue of entry into or performance of this agreement, a “relevant interest” (under the Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013 (NZ) or the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)) in, or rights in respect of, the Securities.
This document is not an offer or commitment to provide financing
and is strictly confidential and not to be disclosed to any other
person other than your legal advisers (on a confidential basis).
The JLMs will not be obliged to subscribe for, or facilitate any sale
of, any securities except upon the signing of definitive agreement
by the Seller and the JLMs on terms agreed and subject to all
internal approvals including, risk, conflicts and underwriting.
Page | 2
The Seller acknowledges and agrees that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are being made
under the terms of the respective JLM's or their respective affiliates’ (as applicable) account-opening and
maintenance documentation with the Seller and the Seller agrees to be bound by the terms thereof. In the event
of any inconsistency between the terms of this Agreement and such documentation, this Agreement shall prevail
to the extent of that inconsistency.
The Seller acknowledges receipt of GSNZ’s document entitled “General Statement of Distribution Principles”
and confirms that it will not claim or allege that the JLMs are liable for determining the timing, terms or structure
of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, for the Sale Price being set at a level that is too high or too
low or for any sales of the Securities by investors to which such Securities are allocated. Additionally, the Seller
acknowledges that each JLM and Settlement Agent acts as an independent contractor and is not acting as a
fiduciary and has not advised and is not advising the Seller as to any tax, legal, investment, accounting,
regulatory or other matters in any jurisdiction. The Seller shall consult with its own advisers concerning such
matters and shall be responsible for making its own analysis of the transactions contemplated hereby, and
neither the JLMs nor Settlement Agents shall have any responsibility or liability to the Seller with respect thereto.
The JLMs may disclose to (potential) purchasers of the Securities that the Seller (will be) is the seller of the
Securities sold under the Sale.
Regulatory Provisions, Closing Conditions, Representations, Warranties and Agreements, and
Indemnity
Each JLM’s and Settlement Agent’s obligations under this Agreement are subject to the regulatory provisions
in Annex I and conditions specified in Annex II, and the Seller shall indemnify and release each JLM and
Settlement Agent to the extent specified in Annex II. The Seller makes the representations, warranties and
agreements in Part A-1, Annex III (Seller Representations and Warranties) and each JLM and each Settlement
Agent makes the representations, warranties and agreements in Part B, Annex III (JLM and Settlement Agent
Representations and Warranties).
The Seller authorises the JLMs to notify potential purchasers of the Securities that the Seller has made the
representations, warranties and agreements in Annex III.
Joint activities and relationship between the JLMs
The Seller and the JLMs and Settlement Agents have agreed to work together to implement the Sale. In order
to give effect to their intention, they are severally (and not jointly or jointly and severally) responsible for their
obligations set out in this agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Seller and the JLMs and Settlement
Agents acknowledge that the activities under this agreement are undertaken by the JLMs and Settlement
Agents jointly and are for the purpose of and reasonably necessary to implement the Sale (including in relation
to the pricing, structure, marketing, allocations, settlement and the restrictions on offers or solicitation of
Securities).
Where the consent or approval of the JLMs or Settlement Agents is required under this agreement, that consent
or approval must be obtained from both JLMs or Settlement Agents. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes the
JLMs or Settlement Agents as partners or joint venturers. No JLM or Settlement Agent is an agent of the other.
No JLM or Settlement Agent has any authority to bind the other. No JLM or Settlement Agent assumes
responsibility, express or implied, for, and has any liability to the Seller with respect to, any actions or omissions
of, or the performance of services by the other JLM or Settlement Agent. Each JLM and Settlement Agent may
exercise its rights, powers and benefits under this Agreement individually. Any reference to the JLMs or
Settlement Agents in this Agreement is a reference to each JLM separately so that, for example, a
representation, warranty or undertaking is given by each of them separately. The rights and obligations of the
JLMs and Settlement Agents under this Agreement are several and not joint or joint and several, and no JLM
or Settlement Agent is liable for the default of the other and each JLM and Settlement Agent may separately
enforce its rights under this Agreement. Any consent or approval of, or notice to, the JLMs or Settlement Agents
under Agreement must be obtained from or given to each of them. Nothing in this Agreement creates a
relationship of partnership, agency or trust between the JLMs or Settlement Agents. No JLM or Settlement
Agent will be liable for any losses arising out of the actions taken or omissions to act or advice given by the
other. In addition, the rights of a JLM and Settlement Agent and the Indemnified Persons associated with that
JLM and Settlement Agent under the indemnification and release in Annex II will in no way be affected by the
Page | 3
actions taken or alleged to have been taken, or advice given by, the other JLM or Settlement Agent or an
Indemnified Person associated with them.

regulation, the terms and existence of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it may not be

Annex II
Conditions
From the time of entry into this Agreement until the End of the Risk Period (defined below), the obligations
of each JLM and Settlement Agent under this Agreement are subject to the conditions set forth below. For
the avoidance of doubt, the conditions set forth below do not apply after the End of the Risk Period. Each
JLM and Settlement Agent may waive, in its sole discretion, any of these conditions by written notice to the
Seller.
Accuracy of Seller’s representations and warranties. Each of the representations and warranties of Seller
in this Agreement shall have been correct and not misleading when given or made and shall remain correct
and not misleading in all material respects until the Securities are crossed by way of one or more special
crossings (in accordance with the Operating Rules of ASX Limited or NZX Participant Rules, as applicable)
(the conclusion of the last of such final special crossings, being the “End of the Risk Period”).
No force majeure. None of the following events shall have occurred since the date of this Agreement: (A) a
suspension or material limitation in trading of the Issuer’s ordinary shares or securities generally on the
London Stock Exchange, the New York Stock Exchange, the New Zealand Stock Exchange (“NZX”) or the
Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”); (B) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities
declared by the relevant authorities in the United Kingdom, the United States, New Zealand or Australia
(the “Relevant Countries”) or a material disruption in commercial banking or securities settlement or
clearance services in any of the Relevant Countries; (C) the outbreak or escalation of hostilities or another
emergency or crisis involving any of the Relevant Countries or the declaration by any of the Relevant
Countries of a national emergency or war, if the effect of any such event specified in the judgment of the
JLMs or Settlement Agents makes it impracticable or inadvisable to proceed with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.
In the event that:
(a) the Seller shall not have delivered to an Settlement Agent(s) the Transfer Securities as required by
this Agreement; or
(b) any of the above conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived in writing) by or on the End of the
Risk Period,
the JLM and Settlement Agent may in their sole discretion elect to terminate this Agreement in which case
the Agreement shall cease to have effect with respect to that JLM and Settlement Agent, except for the
liability of the Seller arising before or in relation to such termination and as otherwise provided herein.
If either of the JLMs and Settlement Agents terminate (“Terminating JLMSA”), the remaining JLM and
Settlement Agent (“Remaining JLMSA”) may elect to take up the rights and obligations of the Terminating
JLMSA under this Agreement. Notice of any election must be given to the Seller within two business days
of the Remaining JLMSA becoming aware of the termination by the Terminating JLMSA. However, if the
notice from the Terminating JLMSA is received less than one business day before 10.00am (New Zealand
time) on the Settlement date, the notice of election from the JLMSA must be given before 10.00am (New
Zealand time) on the Settlement Date. If the Remaining JLMSA fails to give notice under this paragraph by
the due time it shall be treated as having also terminated its obligations under this Agreement. If the
Remaining JLMSA gives notice under this paragraph that it will assume the obligations of the Terminating
JLMSA under this Agreement then the Remaining JLMSA, in addition to the fees to which it is entitled, will
also be entitled to the fees that would have been payable to the Terminating JLMSA (except any fees that
have already accrued) if it had not terminated this Agreement.
Indemnification and release
The Seller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each JLM and Settlement Agent against any losses,
claims, damages, demands or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) to which that JLM and Settlement
Agent may become subject in so far as such losses, claims, damages, demands or liabilities (or actions in
respect thereof) relate to or arise out of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any breach or
alleged breach of the terms of this Agreement by the Seller or as a result of any of the representations and
warranties of the Seller being, or being alleged to be, incorrect or misleading in any respect. This indemnity
shall not, however, apply to a JLM and Settlement Agent to the extent that it is finally judicially determined
that such losses, claims, damages, demands or liabilities resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or wilful
misconduct of that JLM or Settlement Agent or any of its respective Indemnified Persons. The Seller agrees
to reimburse each JLM and Settlement Agent promptly for any duly itemised expenses (including counsel's
fees on a full indemnity basis) reasonably incurred by the JLM and/or Settlement Agent in connection with
investigating or defending any such demands, actions or claims. The indemnification obligations of the
Seller are in addition to any liability the Seller may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms
and conditions, to each JLM’s and Settlement Agent’s affiliates and the directors, partners, officers,
employees, representatives and controlling persons of the JLM, the Settlement Agent and its affiliates
(collectively, along with the relevant JLM and Settlement Agent, the “Indemnified Persons” and each an
“Indemnified Person”).
Page | 9
The Seller further agrees that no claim shall be made by it or by any person asserting claims on behalf of
or in right of the Seller against a JLM or Settlement Agent or any of their Indemnified Persons to recover
any loss, claim, damage, demand or liability that the Seller may suffer or incur by reason of or arising out of
the carrying out or the performance by that JLM, Settlement Agent or any of their Indemnified Persons of
their obligations or services under this Agreement. This release shall not, however, apply to (i) a JLM or
Settlement Agent to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that such loss, claim, damage, demand
or liability resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct of that JLM, Settlement Agent or
any of its respective Indemnified Persons or (ii) an Indemnified Person (other than a JLM or Settlement
Agent) to the extent that it is finally judicially determined that such loss, claim, damage, demand or liability
resulted from the gross negligence, fraud or wilful misconduct of that Indemnified Person claiming the
benefit of this release.
The indemnification and release obligations of the Seller shall survive termination or completion of this
Agreement. The parties agree that, for the purposes of Subpart 1 of Part 2 of the Contract and Commercial
Law Act 2017 (NZ), the indemnity and the limitation liability is intended to confer a benefit on, and be
enforceable by, each Indemnified Person.
Notwithstanding the limitations on the indemnity above, such limitations shall not apply in respect of any
action, demand or claim under U.S. Law (as defined below) to the extent that such losses arise out of or
are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact in any information
related to the Issuer made public by the Issuer on the ASX on or prior to the Settlement Date or otherwise
provided to one or more investors (either specifically or generally) by, or with the approval of, the Seller in
connection with the Sale or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission of a material
fact necessary in order to make the statements in any such information, taken together with the ASX and
other public disclosures of the Issuer, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading. For the purposes of the above, “U.S. Law” means all applicable laws, rules and regulations of
the United States and any State or governmental authority or agency thereof or therein.

Annex III
Part A-1: Seller Representations and Warranties
The Seller represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each JLM and Settlement Agent at the date of this
Agreement and at all times until the Securities are transferred to and settled with purchasers under the Sale:
Due incorporation. The Seller is duly incorporated and is validly existing under the laws of its place of
incorporation and has the full right, power and authority to offer and sell the Securities and perform its
obligations under this Agreement; and no person has any conflicting right, contingent or otherwise, to
purchase or to be offered for purchase the Securities, or any of them.
This is a valid and binding agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorised, executed and delivered
by the Seller and constitutes a lawful, valid and legally binding agreement of the Seller.
Seller and its affiliates have all necessary approvals to sell the Securities. All consents, orders, approvals,
and other authorisations, whether governmental, corporate, beneficiary, shareholder or other, necessary
for the execution, delivery and performance by the Seller and its affiliates of this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby have been obtained or made and are in full force and effect.
Professional Investor: For the purposes of (i) the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the Seller is a wholesale
client (as that term is defined in section 761G of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)) who is also a
“sophisticated investor” or a “professional investor” (as those terms are defined, respectively, in sections
708(8) and 708(11) of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)); and (ii) the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013
(NZ), the Seller is “large” (as that term is defined in clause 39 of Schedule 1 of that Act).
The Sale does not conflict with the Seller’s or its affiliates’ other agreements or applicable laws. The
compliance by the Seller with all of the provisions of this Agreement will not conflict with, result in a breach
or violation of, or constitute a default under: (A) any agreement or instrument to which the Seller or its
affiliates is a party or by which it or any of its or their properties or assets is bound; or (B) any statute, rule
or regulation applicable to, or any order of any court or governmental agency with jurisdiction over, the
Seller, its affiliates, their assets or properties.
Seller will transfer good and valid title to the Securities. The Seller is the sole legal and beneficial owner of,
and has good and valid title to, the Securities free and clear of liens, encumbrances, equities or claims
(“encumbrances”); and upon delivery of the Securities to or as directed by the Settlement Agents against
payment pursuant to this Agreement, will give good and valid title to the Securities, free and clear of
encumbrances to the Settlement Agents, their affiliates and/ or purchasers of the Securities.
The Seller is not violating insider trading laws. The Seller does not have any non-public information, or
information which is not generally available, concerning the Issuer or the Issuer’s securities that is material
or price-sensitive or could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on the price or value of the
Issuer’s securities, and the sale of the Securities hereunder will not constitute a violation by the Seller of
applicable law prohibiting "insider dealing" or “insider trading” in securities (including, without limitation,
section 1043A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), subpart 2 of Part 5 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act
2013 (NZ) and section 10(b) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “U.S. Exchange
