•Reducing debt essential – equity raising the most achievable
option
•Board pursued many options over 12 months
•None secured that met recapitalisation needs until now
•Sustainable recapitalisation means:
-Debt repayment
-Confidence with staff & customers
-Capacity for future growth
•Since late 2023, Metro has approached a long list of investors,
including Amari
Capital Strategy
10
•Proposal includes:
- $9 million pro-rata renounceable rights offer with
oversubscription facility
-Amari invest $10.5 - $15.0 million for a 51% stake (through
rights issue and separate top up placement)
-$4.5m commitment from other investors (including Simon
Bennett and Pramod Khatri)
-$10m debt forgiveness and new debt facility
•Inseparable components – all required for recapitalisation
•Board strongly recommends shareholder approval
Recapitalisation Proposal
11
•Recapitalisation will raise between $15 and 24 million

Key considerations
Dilution
•Large equity raise dilutes existing shareholdings, but
oversubscription facility can offset
Value
•Independent valuation of $0.05 - $0.09 per share (post capital
raise)
-Execution of plans should increase share price over time
Amari control
•Amari’s 51% stake represents effective control, but low risk to
shareholders:
-Amari is a long term investor with objectives aligned with
other shareholders
-Governance practice and NZX rules and legislation prohibit
favouring one shareholder over another
No control
premium
•Amari pays the same $0.03 as other investors
•Premium was not achievable or warranted
13
•Competing proposal from Crescent Capital (Viridian’s owner):
-Remains conditional, uncertain and not executable in short
term
•If recapitalisation fails:
-Metro must seek further bank extensions past 30 September
expiry (uncertain)
-Metro would remain over-indebted and in need of capital
-Any future capital raise likely on worse terms
Alternative Options & Risks
14
•Grant Samuel’s independent report concludes:
-Material uncertainty for Metro as a going concern without the
recapitalisation
-Recapitalisation improves financial position and ability to
operate efficiently
-Dilution and Amari control must be weighed against the
benefits
-No viable alternatives provide the required capital
•Overall, positives outweigh the negatives
•Board strongly recommends voting in favour
