a takeover offer under the Takeovers Code, a scheme of arrangement under Part 15 of the
Companies Act 1993 or other transaction structure.
Under the Co-operation Agreement, the Trouchet Shareholders have agreed not to sell their
Shares during the term of the Co-operation Agreement without the prior written consent of SPV
(and in certain other limited circumstances). The Co-operation Agreement terminates on the earlier

entered into; and (iii) the date the independent directors of Target unanimously recommend to
Target shareholders that they accept a takeover offer under the Takeovers Code, (iv) or earlier by
agreement in writing between SPV and the Trouchet Shareholders. Accordingly, SPV has the
power to procure that the Trouchet Shareholders (who in aggregate own 26,079,549 Shares) do
not dispose of those Shares during the term of the Co-operation Agreement.
A copy of the Co-operation Agreement is attached as Schedule 1 (15 pages).
Acquisition of shares
On 14 June 2025, SPV entered into:
• an agreement with ANZ New Zealand Investments Limited and ANZ Bank New Zealand
Limited (together ANZ) under which ANZ irrevocably committed to sell, and SPV irrevocably
agreed to purchase, 8,843,922 Shares on-market for an aggregate consideration of
NZ$20,341,020.60;
• an agreement with Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) under which ACC irrevocably
committed to sell, and SPV irrevocably agreed to purchase, 4,421,961 Shares on-market for
an aggregate consideration of NZ$9,949,412.25; and
together the Agreements. A copy of each Agreement is attached in Schedule 2 (23 pages in
total).
The on-market trades contemplated in the Agreements are expected to take place on Monday, 16
June 2025, with settlement to occur on Wednesday, 18 June 2025.
Under each Agreement SPV has also agreed to top up the amount paid to the relevant
counterparty for the on-market acquisition of Shares by the difference (if any, and assuming the
difference is a positive number) between:
(a) the price per Share paid by SPV for the on-market acquisition (plus any brokerage fees or
any other transaction fees paid by SPV in respect of the on-market acquisition) (the Sale
Price); and
(b) the price per Share payable by SPV under any scheme of arrangement under Part 15 of the
Companies Act proposed by SPV or one of its related companies or associates in relation to
all of the Shares which is implemented, or full or partial takeover offer under the Takeovers
Code which is made by SPV or one of its related companies or associates and which is
declared unconditional, within 12 months after the date of the relevant Agreement,
multiplied by the number of Shares which are the subject of the relevant Agreement.

Under each Agreement SPV has also agreed to top up the amount paid to the relevant
counterparty for the on-market acquisition of Shares by the difference (if any, and assuming the
difference is a positive number) between:
(a) the Sale Price; and
(b) the price per Share received by SPV (net of brokerage or transaction fees) under sale to a
third party occurring within 12 months of the date of the relevant Agreement under a
competing scheme of arrangement, a competing takeover offer, the compulsory acquisition
process under the Takeovers Code, an on-market sale or off-market sale,
multiplied by the number of Shares which are the subject of the relevant Agreement (or pro-rated in
respect of a sale of only some of SPV’s Shares).
Under the Agreement with ANZ, SPV has agreed that where it undertakes any on-market
acquisition of Shares from a third party that occurs within 20 business days after the date of the
ANZ Agreement, and the price per Share paid by SPV under any such acquisition (net of
brokerage and transaction fees) is more than 5 cents greater than the Sale Price, SPV will pay
ANZ the equivalent of the increment above the amount which is 5 cents greater than the Sale Price
in respect of half the number of Shares which are the subject of the Agreement between SPV and
ANZ.
SPV is wholly beneficially owned by the BGH Fund. The Manager is the manager or adviser to the
constituent entities of the BGH Fund. Accordingly, for the purposes of the relevant legislation, the

subsequently becomes payable by SPV under clause 3.1, then the Top Up
Amount payable by SPV under clause 3.1 will be reduced by an amount equal

by SPV under clause 3.2; and
(ii) except to the extent that clause 4(c) applies, a Top Up Amount is not payable in

transferee or transferees in order to give effect to the intention of this Agreement.
(d) For the purposes of the financial arrangements rules in the Income Tax Act 2007, if a
Top Up Amount or a Matching Amount is payable under this Agreement, the parties
agree that:
(i) the Consideration is the lowest price (within the meaning of section EW 32 of

(iii) they will compute their taxable income for the relevant period on the basis that
the Consideration for each Sale Share includes no capitalised interest, and will
file their tax returns accordingly.
4. Calculating the Top Up Amount
(a) Subject to clauses 4(b), 4(c) and 4(d), the Top Up Amount is the amount calculated
in accordance with the following formula:
SS x (RTP – SP)
where:
SS is:
(i) where clause 3.1 applies, the number of Sale Shares;
(ii) where clause 3.2 applies, the number of Sale Shares held by SPV that are sold
under that Premium Sale;
RTP is the Relevant Transaction Price; and
SP is (A) the Sale Price plus (B) the aggregate of any Matching Amounts paid under
clause 5(a) divided by the number of Sale Shares.
(b) The parties agree that if the amount calculated under clause 4(a) is a negative
amount, then the Top Up Amount will be zero and no amount will be payable to the
Shareholder under clause 3.
(c) If the Shares are subdivided or consolidated (or there is any other similar
proportionate capital reconstruction) during the period commencing on the date of this
Agreement and ending on:
(i) in relation to a Scheme, the date on which the Scheme is implemented in
accordance with the SIA; or
(ii) in relation to a Takeover Offer, the date on which the Takeover Offer is
declared unconditional in all respects in accordance with rule 49C(3) of the
Takeovers Code; or
(iii) in relation to a Premium Sale, the date of completion of that sale,
34162430_2
then the Top Up Amount will be adjusted as appropriate to take account of that
subdivision or consolidation (or other similar proportionate capital reconstruction) of
the Shares in order to give effect to the intention of this clause 4.
(d) For the purposes of limb (ii) of the definition of “SS”, if the number of Shares that SPV
sells under that Premium Sale is less than the total number of Shares that SPV holds
on the date which is 15 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, then “SS” will
be (A) the number of Sale Shares multiplied by (B) the proportion that the number of
Shares that SPV sells under that Premium Sale reflects of the total number of Shares
that SPV holds on the date which is 15 Business Days after the date of this
Agreement.
5. Matching top-up
(a) If, within 20 Business Days after the date of this Agreement, SPV acquires from any
Third Party any Shares On-Market at a price per Share (net of any brokerage fees or
any other transaction fees) which is more than 5 cents above the Sale Price (a
Matching Amount Acquisition), then SPV will pay (or procure the payment of) the
Matching Amount to the Shareholder within five Business Days after the date on which
SPV acquires those Shares.
(b) Subject to clauses 5(c) and 5(d), the Matching Amount is the amount calculated in
accordance with the following formula:
N x (OMP – TP)
where:
N is the number of the Sale Shares divided by two;
OMP is the price per Share paid by SPV (net of any brokerage fees or any other
transaction fees) under the relevant Matching Amount Acquisition; and
TP is (A) Sale Price plus 5 cents, plus (B) the aggregate of any prior paid Matching
Amounts paid under clause 5(a) divided by half the number of Sale Shares.
(c) If the amount calculated in accordance with the formula set out in clause 5(b) is a
negative number, then the Matching Amount will be zero and no amount will be
payable under clause 5(a) in respect of that Matching Amount Acquisition.
(d) If the Shares are subdivided or consolidated (or there is any other similar
proportionate capital reconstruction) during the period commencing on the date of this
Agreement and ending on the date of completion of the relevant Matching Amount
Acquisition, then the Matching Amount will be adjusted as appropriate to take account
of that subdivision or consolidation (or other similar proportionate capital
reconstruction) of the Shares in order to give effect to the intention of this clause 5.
