reasonable grounds whether any such event or circumstance has occurred,
waive the conditions in paragraph 4.4 and declare the Offer unconditional and
provide written notice of that fact to Rakon, the Takeovers Panel and NZX. If
Bourns is investigating whether any such event or circumstance has occurred
then, if on completion of that investigation no such event or circumstance has

destroyed.
4.11 Restrictions on Lapsing the Offer: Notwithstanding any other term of the Offer,
Bourns will not allow the Offer to lapse:

Notice Date and ends on the Unconditional Date.
4.12 Reasonable endeavours to satisfy Regulatory Consents Condition: Bourns
must use its reasonable endeavours to satisfy the Regulatory Consents
Condition as soon as reasonably possible after the Offer Date and will not
deliberately take any reasonable action, or omit to take any such action, for the

Page 21
8895f5ed-eeaa-409d-9502-747e04fd9f6f
purpose of preventing or hindering the fulfilment of the Regulatory Consents
Condition.
4.13 Extension of the Offer Period: Bourns must extend, and continue to extend, the
Offer Period (by the shortest reasonable period in the circumstances) in
accordance with the Takeovers Code until the conditions set out in paragraphs

5. CHANGE OF CIRCUMSTANCES
5.1 Dividends and distributions: If, on or after the Notice Date, a dividend or other
distribution (within the meaning of the Companies Act 1993) of any nature
whatsoever (including, for the avoidance of doubt, by way of share buyback,
redemption or cancellation or any other form of capital reduction) is authorised,
declared, paid or made upon or in respect of any of the Shares, and if the
condition in paragraph 4.4(a) is waived and the Shareholder accepts or has
accepted the dividend, bonus, payment or distribution, at Bourns’ option either:
(a) the Shareholder will be bound to pay Bourns on demand an amount
equivalent to the relevant dividend or the value of the relevant
distribution paid or payable to them or received or receivable by them
in respect of the Shares taken up from them under the Offer (in each
case, (i) for a New Zealand resident Shareholder, being the amount of
the dividend or distribution before the deduction of resident
withholding tax, and ignoring any imputation credits attached to that
dividend or distribution, and (ii) for a non-resident Shareholder, being
the amount of the dividend or distribution ignoring any
supplementary dividend paid and ignoring any non-resident
withholding tax paid to the Inland Revenue Department in relation to
that dividend or distribution); or
(b) the consideration which would otherwise have been paid to such
Shareholder will be reduced by an amount equivalent to the relevant
dividend or the value of the relevant distribution paid or payable to
them or received or receivable by them in respect of the Shares taken
up from them under the Offer (in each case, (i) for a New Zealand
resident Shareholder, being the amount of the dividend or distribution
before the deduction of resident withholding tax, and ignoring any
imputation credits attached to the dividend or distribution, and (ii) for
a non-resident Shareholder, being the amount of the dividend or
distribution ignoring any supplementary dividend paid and ignoring
any non-resident withholding tax paid to the Inland Revenue
Department in relation to that dividend or distribution).
5.2 Payment of reimbursement: If a Shareholder is required to make a payment to
Bourns under paragraph 5.1(a), the Shareholder must make that payment
within five working days of demand, to the bank account stated in our demand,
in cleared and irreversible funds, and free of deduction, set off, withholding or
condition.

5.3 Bonus issues: If, on or after the Notice Date, shares, performance rights,
convertible securities, or other equity securities of any nature (including
options, rights or interests in any ordinary shares) of the Rakon Group
(Additional Shares) are issued, agreed to be issued or made the subject of any
option or right to subscribe, in any such case in favour of any Shareholder and
if the condition in paragraph 4.4(b) is waived and the Offer becomes
unconditional then at Bourns’ option either:
(a) the Shareholder will be bound to transfer such shares or convertible
shares, other securities or other rights and interests to Bourns without
any additional consideration; or
(b) if the Additional Shares are Shares, the Offer will extend to those
Additional Securities and the consideration payable for each Share as
set out in paragraph 2.1 will be proportionately reduced to take
account of such issue such that the total aggregate consideration paid
by Bourns under the Offer, if accepted in full, remains the same as
would be the case if no such Additional Securities had been issued.
For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph 5.3 does not apply to any Shares
issued upon the valid exercise of the Share Rights.
5.4 Share consolidations and subdivisions: If all or any of the Shares are
consolidated or subdivided on or after the Notice Date, then:
(a) the Offer will be interpreted to take into account such consolidation
or subdivision and will be deemed to be for the Shares resulting from
such consolidation or subdivision;
(b) the consideration per Share provided for under paragraph 2.1 will be
increased or reduced, as the case may require, in proportion to such
consolidation or subdivision; and
(c) if the Holder has accepted or accepts the Offer, they will be bound to
transfer such consolidated or subdivided Shares to Bourns on the basis
of the consideration per share so increased or reduced.
6. METHOD OF SETTLEMENT
6.1 Nominated method of payment: Bourns will pay each Holder for their
respective Shares or Share Rights by making an electronic funds transfer if:
(a) this Offer is declared unconditional; and
(b) a Shareholder’s electronic acceptance or Acceptance Form is in order
(or, in Bourns’ discretion, is treated as valid or is rectified in
accordance with paragraph 3.3),
to a New Zealand dollar account with a New Zealand registered bank specified
by the Holder in the Acceptance Form. If your registered address is not in New

than New Zealand dollars using InvestorPay by following the requirements for
such a payment set out in the Acceptance Form.
6.2 No nominated method of payment: However, if:
(a) this Offer is unconditional; and
(b) an accepting Holder’s desired account is not a New Zealand dollar
account with a New Zealand registered bank; or
(c) an accepting Holder does not provide sufficient details to Bourns for
Bourns to make an electronic funds transfer to the Holder’s
nominated bank account,
Bourns will pay the amount payable to the Holder by electronic funds transfer
to any existing New Zealand dollar bank account that the relevant Holder has
advised to Rakon’s share registrar (such as for dividend payments). If Bourns
makes payment to you in accordance with this paragraph, it is not required to
notify you that it has done so and will have no liability to you for its choice to do
so.

payment due to a Holder.

9. ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN BOURNS AND RAKON
9.1 On 13 August 2024, Bourns and Rakon entered into a confidentiality agreement
which was subsequently amended on 7 December 2025. Under the terms of the
agreement:
(a) Bourns agreed to:
(i) keep confidential any information disclosed to Bourns by
Rakon in connection with Bourns’ intended proposal to make
a full takeover offer for Rakon and to use the information
obtained solely for that purpose; and
(ii) a standstill which restricted Bourns, for a period until 7 June
2026, from making a takeover offer for Rakon, purchasing or
offering to purchase (including by way of takeover offer) any
interest in securities or the business in Rakon and various
similar restrictions, or entering into arrangement to do so,
without the consent of Rakon; and
(b) Rakon agreed that until 5.00 pm on 31 January 2026 it would not, and
would procure that no member of the Rakon Group or any of their
respective representatives would, directly or indirectly solicit, initiate
or encourage any competing proposal or take any action that may
reasonably be expected to encourage or lead to a competing proposal.
9.2 Except for the arrangements described in paragraphs 9.1 above, there is no
other agreement or arrangement (whether legally enforceable or not) that has
been made, or is proposed to be made, between Bourns or any associates of
Bourns, and Rakon, or of any Related Company of Rakon, in connection with, in
anticipation of, or in response to, this Offer.

their remaining in or retiring from office), in connection with, in anticipation of, or in
response to, the Offer.

8895f5ed-eeaa-409d-9502-747e04fd9f6f
11. FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
No agreement or arrangement has been made, or is proposed to be made under which
Rakon, or any Related Company of Rakon, will give (directly or indirectly) financial
assistance for the purpose of, or in connection with, the Offer.
12. INTENTIONS ABOUT MATERIAL CHANGES TO RAKON
12.1 If Bourns becomes entitled to invoke the compulsory acquisition provisions of
the Takeovers Code, it intends to compulsorily acquire all the outstanding
equity securities in Rakon and apply for Rakon to be delisted from NZX.
12.2 If Bourns does not receive sufficient acceptances under the Offer to enable the
compulsory acquisition provisions of the Takeovers Code to be invoked, and
waives the condition in paragraph 4.1 of the Terms and Conditions of this Offer
Document (which Bourns may or may not do, and Bourns expresses no intention
in this regard) and declares the Offer unconditional, Bourns may seek
appropriate representation on the Rakon Board and participate in decisions
relating to Rakon through the Rakon Board.
12.3 If Bourns acquires any Share Rights under this Offer, Bourns intends that those
Share Rights will not be exercised and will lapse or otherwise be treated in
accordance with their terms following settlement. For the avoidance of doubt,
the consideration payable for Share Rights accepted under this Offer will be paid
in cash in accordance with paragraph 2.3.
12.4 Only after completion of the Offer and a detailed review of the Rakon Group,
having regard to all material matters, including as to the level of acceptances
under the Offer, will Bourns finally determine its intentions for the Rakon Group
and take such steps as Bourns may consider appropriate. However, Bourns’
current intentions about the business activities of the Rakon Group, and
material changes to the material assets or capital structure of the Rakon Group
are:
(a) Rakon would become a new, complementary standalone division
within Bourns’ existing organisation with continued leadership by the
existing Rakon management team;
(b) Bourns has no current intentions to make any material changes in the
immediate term to existing operating locations and activities within
the Rakon Group;
(c) Bourns intends to provide access to its global sales, distribution and
operational footprint to support accelerated growth of the Rakon
business by expanding access to Bourns’ existing customer base;
(d) Bourns intends to provide access to necessary capital investments
based on Bourns’ strong balance sheet to ensure successful
implementation of Rakon’s product development needs to execute its
long-range growth plan;
Docusign Envelope ID: B6045EC7-36B9-4210-B051-08B07C2E0962
Page 33
8895f5ed-eeaa-409d-9502-747e04fd9f6f
(e) Bourns intends to leverage technology interchange and sharing of best
practices to enhance Rakon’s operational execution capabilities.
12.5 The above statements of intention represent Bourns’ current intentions based
on information that is known to Bourns as at the date of preparation of this
Offer Document. Further information may become available to Bourns on
completion of the Offer and if Bourns’ Offer is successful, Bourns may take such
other actions, or pursue such other strategies in relation to Rakon’s business as
Bourns considers appropriate.
12.6 The statements made under paragraph 12.4 are consistent with any information
that has been given by Bourns to any regulatory body (in New Zealand or in an
overseas jurisdiction).
13. PRE-EMPTION CLAUSES IN RAKON’S CONSTITUTION
Rakon’s constitution does not contain any pre-emptive rights or similar provisions
requiring a Holder to offer its Shares to any person prior to transferring those Shares.
14. ESCALATION CLAUSES
14.1 As at the date of this Offer Document, no agreement or arrangement to which
Bourns is a party to (whether legally enforceable or not) has been made, or is
proposed to be made, under which:
(a) any existing holder of equity securities in Rakon will or may receive in
relation to, or as a consequence of, the Offer any additional
consideration or other benefit over and above the consideration set
out in the Offer; or
(b) any prior holder of equity securities in Rakon will or may receive any
consideration or other benefit as a consequence of the Offer.
15. CLASSES OF FINANCIAL PRODUCTS
15.1 The consideration and the terms of the Offer for the Share Rights, which are
non-voting securities, are considered to be fair and reasonable in compliance
with Rule 8(4) of the Takeovers Code. The basis for that determination is that:
(a) the consideration for each Share is NZ$1.55; and
(b) there is no amount payable by the holders of a Share Right to
subscribe for a Share in Rakon under the terms of the Share Right.
15.2 Bourns has obtained a report by Simmons Corporate Finance concerning the
fairness and reasonableness of the Offer in relation to the different classes of
equity securities (Report). The Report will be sent to Holders with the target
company statement. The Offer should be read in conjunction with the Report
and the target company statement.

PAYPAL SERVICE (for Shareholders outside of New Zealand only):
(a) Computershare offers a service to enable the New Zealand dollar consideration to be converted and paid electronically in certain other
currencies. If your registered address is not in New Zealand and you wish to use this service, please contact Computershare (as detailed
below). Please note that this is a service offered solely by Computershare and does not form part of the Offer. We take no responsibility
for, nor endorse or have any liability in respect of, the use of this service by you. Any currency conversion is undertaken at your own risk.
(b) Payment in foreign currencies: If you hold your shares on the NZX, live outside of New Zealand and would like your New Zealand dollar
consideration to be converted and paid electronically in a foreign currency, please contact Computershare directly to request payment in a
foreign currency. This service would be provided by PayPal Pte. Ltd (PayPal) utilising their subsidiary Hyperwallet Systems Inc and
Computershare’s product is referred to as InvestorPay. Once you have made this request to Computershare, you will be sent
Computershare’s terms and conditions for using the service, and a list of frequently asked questions (which includes details of the fees and
the spread charge you will be charged for the service by Computershare and PayPal). Computershare will then arrange for PayPal to contact
you in relation to the currency conversion service (once payment has been made).
If that service is not acceptable to you, you will need to advise Computershare of a New Zealand dollar account with a New Zealand registered
bank so payment can be made to you by electronic transfer in New Zealand dollars. If the service is not acceptable to you and you are not
able to provide a New Zealand dollar account with a New Zealand registered bank, we may choose to pay you by electronic funds transfer to
any existing New Zealand dollar account that you have advised to Computershare (such as for dividend payments) which is known to us. If we
choose to make payment to you in this manner, we are not obliged to notify you that we have done so and we will have no liability to you for
our choice to do so.
The costs associated with using any such service (in the form of fees or any spread charge), which will be deducted by Paypal from the
consideration that would otherwise be payable to you, and the relevant exchange rate that will apply will be a matter between you and
Computershare and PayPal (should you elect to use this service). We do not guarantee that PayPal will be able to provide any such service
referred to in this paragraph 10(b).
(c) Timing for payments: For the purposes of clause [2.3] of the Offer, if you elect to use the currency conversion services outlined under
paragraph 10(b) above, the timing for determining when we make payment to you will be when Computershare has paid your consideration
in New Zealand dollars to PayPal. Any subsequent delay by PayPal in making payment to you, or the non-payment of the relevant
consideration to you by PayPal, is entirely at your sole risk.
IF YOU ARE IN ANY DOUBT ABOUT THE PROCEDURES FOR ACCEPTANCES, PLEASE TELEPHONE COMPUTERSHARE INVESTOR ENQUIRIES ON 0800

1. Introduction
1.1 Background
Rakon Limited (Rakon) is a global leader in frequency control products and timing
solutions. Its innovations are integral to a wide range of applications, including 5G
networks, satellites, emergency beacons and autonomous vehicles.
Rakon’s ordinary shares are listed on the main equities security market operated by
NZX Limited (the NZX Main Board). Rakon had a market capitalisation of
$207 million as at 9 January 2026.
1.2 Bourns Offer
Bourns, Inc.
Bourns, Inc. (Bourns) is a privately held global electronics company headquartered
in Riverside, California, United States of America.
Bourns designs and manufactures electronic components such as sensors, circuit
protection devices and magnetics for the automotive, industrial and consumer
markets.
Takeover Notice
Bourns issued a notice of its intention to make a full takeover offer for the equity
securities on issue in Rakon on 11 January 2026 (the Takeover Notice) which, if
successful, will result in Bourns holding or controlling all of the voting rights in Rakon
(the Bourns Offer).
Rakon Capital Structure
Rakon’s share capital consists of:
• 229,809,013 fully paid ordinary shares (the Ordinary Shares)
• 2,986,978 unlisted employee share rights to acquire Ordinary Shares under
Rakon’s Long Term Incentive Plan (the Share Rights).
Share Rights
The Share Rights have been issued to eligible employees under Rakon's Long Term
Incentive Plan (the Plan).
The Plan was established on 7 December 2021. Under the rules of the Plan (the
Plan Rules), Share Rights are granted to participants based in New Zealand,
whereby employees render services as consideration for Ordinary Shares.
The Bourns Offer is in respect of 2 tranches of Share Rights:
• 1,039,990 Share Rights granted in the 2025 financial year (the FY2025 Share
Rights)
• 1,946,988 Share Rights granted in the 2026 financial year (the FY2026 Share
Rights).
Bourns, Inc. Page 2 Independent Adviser’s Report
We understand that there are effectively 5 classes of Share Rights:
• the FY2025 Share Rights
• the FY2025 Share Rights varied by the Conditional Retention Letter (which is
discussed in section 2.3)
• the FY2026 Share Rights – granted to non-executives
• the FY2026 Share Rights – granted to executives and varied by the Conditional
Retention Letter
• the FY2026 Share Rights – granted to non-executives and varied by the
Conditional Retention Letter.
The terms of the 5 classes of Share Rights differ slightly depending on the year of
issue (ie FY2025 or FY2026), whether the holder is a member of Rakon’s executive
team and whether the holder is party to separate retention arrangements under the
Conditional Retention Letter.
While this results in there being 5 separate classes of Share Rights, their terms are
sufficiently similar to justify them being treated together in this report.
The Share Rights are not listed on the NZX Main Board.
The Share Rights constitute separate classes of non-voting securities for the
purposes of the Takeovers Code (the Code).
Bourns Shareholding in Rakon
Bourns currently does not hold or control any Ordinary Shares.
Certain Rakon shareholders have agreed to accept the Bourns Offer in respect of all
of the Ordinary Shares that they hold or control (representing 41.2% of the voting
rights in Rakon) in accordance with lock-up agreements entered into on 11 January
2026.
Bourns currently does not hold or control any Share Rights.
Terms of the Bourns Offer
Full Offer
The Bourns Offer is for 100% of the Ordinary Shares and the Share Rights that
Bourns currently does not hold or control.
Consideration
Bourns will offer cash of:
• $1.55 for each Ordinary Share (the Ordinary Shares Offer Price)
• $1.55 for each Share Right (the Share Rights Offer Prices).
Conditions
The Bourns Offer is conditional upon Bourns receiving acceptances that would, when
taken together with the voting securities already held or controlled by Bourns, confer
more than 90% of the voting rights in Rakon (the Minimum Acceptance Condition).
Bourns, Inc. Page 3 Independent Adviser’s Report
At Bourns’ discretion, the Minimum Acceptance Condition can be waived if
acceptances over 50% are received.
The Bourns Offer in respect of the Share Rights is conditional on the terms of issue
of the Share Rights being validly varied (in accordance with their terms and all
applicable laws and regulations) to permit the transfer of the Share Rights to Bourns
(the Share Rights Condition).
At Bourns’ discretion, the Share Rights Condition can be waived.
The Bourns Offer is also conditional on a series of other conditions that are standard
for an offer of this type.
1.3 Regulatory Requirements
Rakon is a code company as defined in section 2A of the Takeovers Act 1993. The
takeover process contemplated by Bourns must therefore comply with the provisions
set out in the Code.
Rule 8(2) of the Code prescribes that a full offer must be extended to all holders of
equity securities (whether voting or non-voting) of the target company other than the
offeror.
Furthermore, Rule 8(4) of the Code prescribes that if non-voting securities are
included in a full offer, the consideration and terms offered for the non-voting
securities must be fair and reasonable in comparison with the consideration and
terms offered for voting securities and as between classes of non-voting securities.
In this particular case, the Code requires that the consideration and terms offered for
the Share Rights must be fair and reasonable compared with the consideration and
terms offered for the Ordinary Shares and as between the 5 classes of Share Rights.
As the offeror, Bourns must obtain a report pursuant to Rule 22 of the Code from an
independent adviser which certifies that, in the adviser's opinion, the offer complies
with Rule 8(4).
1.4 Purpose of the Report
Bourns has engaged Simmons Corporate Finance Limited (Simmons Corporate
Finance) to prepare an Independent Adviser’s Report to opine on whether the
consideration and terms offered for the Ordinary Shares and the Share Rights are
fair and reasonable as between the Ordinary Shares and the Share Rights and as
between the 5 classes of Share Rights under the Bourns Offer in accordance with
Rule 22 of the Code.
A Rule 22 Independent Adviser’s Report is not required to consider the merits of the
Bourns Offer and we offer no opinion on whether the Ordinary Shares Offer Price is
fair and reasonable.
Simmons Corporate Finance was approved by the Takeovers Panel on 8 January
2026 to prepare the Independent Adviser’s Report.
The Independent Adviser’s Report is not to be used for any other purpose without
our prior written consent.
Bourns, Inc. Page 4 Independent Adviser’s Report
2. Evaluation of the Bourns Offer as Between the Ordinary
Shares and the Share Rights
2.1 Basis of Evaluation
Rule 22 of the Code requires that the Independent Adviser’s Report certifies that the
consideration and terms offered for the Ordinary Shares and the Share Rights are
fair and reasonable as between the Ordinary Shares and the Share Rights and as
between the 5 classes of Share Rights.
There is no legal definition of the term fair and reasonable in either the Code or in
any statute dealing with securities or commercial law in New Zealand.
In the absence of an explicit definition of fair and reasonable, guidance can be taken
from:
• the Takeovers Panel Guidance Note on Independent Advisers dated
1 November 2023
• definitions designed to address similar issues within New Zealand regulations
which are relevant to the proposed transaction
• overseas precedents
• the ordinary meaning of the term fair and reasonable.
The Australian Securities & Investments Commission Regulatory Guide 111 –
Content of Expert Reports sets out some fundamental requirements for a report that
is completed in similar circumstances to those relating to the Bourns Offer.
According to the regulatory guide, an offer is fair if the value of the offer price or
consideration is equal to or greater than the value of the securities that are subject to
the offer. An offer is deemed to be reasonable if it is fair. An offer may also be
reasonable if, despite it being not fair, there are sufficient reasons for security holders
to accept the offer in the absence of any higher bid before the close of the offer.
We are of the view that these definitions provide a useful starting point for assessing
the fairness and reasonableness of the consideration offered as between the
Ordinary Shares and the Share Rights.
Our assessment of whether the consideration and terms offered for the Share Rights
are fair and reasonable is based on the following approach:
• the Ordinary Shares Offer Price of $1.55 provides the benchmark for our
assessment in relation to the Share Rights
• accordingly, we determine the underlying fair value of the Share Rights
assuming an initial fair value for the Ordinary Shares of $1.55
• the assessment then rests on a comparison of the Share Rights Offer Price
with the underlying fair value of the Share Rights.
Bourns, Inc. Page 5 Independent Adviser’s Report
In our view the assessment of the terms of the Bourns Offer relating to the Ordinary
Shares in comparison with the terms relating to the Share Rights is inconsequential
in this case. Both the holders of the Ordinary Shares and the holders of the Share
Rights will receive cash consideration if they are capable of accepting and accept the
Bourns Offer and the Bourns Offer to each group of security holders is effectively
contingent on the same set of conditions. Accordingly, we are of the opinion that the
terms of the Bourns Offer are equivalent as between the Ordinary Shares and the
Share Rights.
We stress that we have not attempted to assess the underlying value of the Ordinary
Shares, but have used the Ordinary Shares Offer Price as the benchmark for our
assessment of the relativity between the offers for the different classes of securities.
2.2 Opinion
In our opinion, the consideration and terms offered for the Share Rights are
fair and reasonable in comparison with the consideration and terms offered for
the Ordinary Shares and as between the 5 classes of Share Rights.
We certify that in our opinion, the Bourns Offer complies with Rule 8(4).
2.3 Terms of the Share Rights
Overview
The Plan was established on 7 December 2021.
Under the Plan, Share Rights are granted to participants based in New Zealand,
whereby employees render services as consideration for Ordinary Shares.
For the FY2025 Share Rights, vesting is dependent on:
• Rakon’s total shareholder return (TSR) exceeding the TSR of the NZX50 over
the measurement period. It takes into account historical and expected
dividends and the share price fluctuation to predict the distribution of relative
share performance, and
• relevant employees remaining employed by Rakon at the time of vesting.
The vesting conditions for the FY2026 Share Rights are different for executive and
non-executive employees:
• for executives, the vesting conditions are the same as for the FY2025 Share
Rights (ie TSR and continued employment)
• for non-executive employees, the only vesting condition is remaining employed
by Rakon at the time of vesting.
Upon the vesting of a Share Right, no amount is payable by the Share Rights holder
to be issued an Ordinary Share.
The Plan was amended by Rakon’s board of directors (the Board) on 21 August
2025 whereby Share Rights granted after that date that have not lapsed shall be
treated as vested on a date to be determined by the Board where there is a Change
of Control Event.
Bourns, Inc. Page 6 Independent Adviser’s Report
Grant of Share Rights
A total of 2,986,978 Share Rights remain on issue at the date of this report:
• in March 2025, 1,157,590 FY2025 Share Rights were granted, of which
1,039,990 Share Rights remain on issue at present
• in September 2025, 1,951,485 FY2026 Share Rights were granted, of which
1,946,988 Share Rights remain on issue at present.
Key Terms
The key terms of the Share Rights are:
• a Share Right is a right to subscribe for or take a transfer of an Ordinary Share
upon the vesting of the Share Right
• a Share Right has no entitlement to any dividend and no voting rights
• a Share Right is not transferable or assignable
• upon the vesting of a Share Right, Rakon must issue an Ordinary Share to, or
procure the transfer of an Ordinary Share to the Share Rights holder
• no payment is required to be made by the Share Rights holder upon receipt of
the Ordinary Share
• a Share Right will lapse and be immediately forfeited if the vesting conditions
are not met within the prescribed period or if the holder ceases to be employed
by Rakon.
Change of Control Event
A Change of Control Event is defined in the Plan Rules as:
“Change of Control Event means a takeover, scheme of arrangement or
similar transaction, which is, in the opinion of the Board, unconditional or likely
to become unconditional and will upon completion, result in the Company
ceasing to be listed on the NZX Board.”
Clause 9.3 of the Plan Rules as approved in December 2021 provided:
Change of Control Event
(a) If a Change of Control Even occurs prior to the Vesting Date, the Board
has discretion to determine whether some or all (or none) of a
Participant’s unvested Share Rights which have not lapsed will be treated
as if deemed to have Vested (on a date determined by the Board),
including (without limitation, on a pro rata basis according to the portion
of the Vesting Period which has elapsed as at the date of the Change of
Control Event.
(b) If the Board determines that none or only some of the Share Rights of a
Participant shall Vest under clause 9.3(a), all or the balance (as the case
may be), of Share Rights of that Participant which do not Vest under
clause 9.3(a), will automatically lapse upon a Change of Control Event.
Bourns, Inc. Page 7 Independent Adviser’s Report
An amendment to the Plan Rules was made on 21 August 2025:
Clause 9.3 Change of Control Event
If a Change of Control Event occurs prior to the Vesting Date all of a
Participant’s unvested Share Rights which have not lapsed will be treated as if
deemed to have Vested (on a date determined by the Board).
On 22 August 2025, the Board issued a Conditional Retention Letter to certain
Share Rights holders setting out retention arrangements in the event of Rakon
receiving or progressing a change of control transaction proposal, in order to provide
certainty to key staff and to facilitate retention of key staff during the period when a
proposal is being considered or a transaction is being implemented.
Included in the retention arrangements was an undertaking that at the completion of
a takeover transaction, Rakon would pay the Share Rights holder cash (rather than
issuing Ordinary Shares) in respect of their Share Rights which have not already
lapsed or vested.
2.4 Share Rights Condition
The key condition that could result in differing outcomes for Ordinary Shareholders
relative to Share Rights holders is the Share Rights Condition.
The Share Rights Condition requires the terms of issue of the Share Rights being
validly varied (in accordance with their terms and all applicable laws and regulations)
to permit the transfer of the Share Rights to Bourns.
If the Share Rights Condition is not satisfied, then Share Rights holders will not be
able to accept into the Bourns Offer in respect of any Share Rights that have been
granted to them but which have not vested.
However, given the amendment to the Plan Rules on 21 August 2025 in respect of a
Change of Control Event, the only uncertainties regarding the satisfaction of the
Share Rights Condition are:
• the Board’s opinion as to whether the Bourns Offer will become “unconditional
or likely to become unconditional” and, if so
• the deemed vesting date determined by the Board.
In our view, it is unlikely that the Board would wish to disadvantage certain security
holders in the context of the Bourns Offer by way of withholding approval to vary the
terms of the Share Rights.
We note that if the terms of the Share Rights cannot be validly varied, but a Share
Rights holder becomes entitled to exercise, and exercises, the Share Rights, that
Share Rights holder will only be entitled to participate in the Bourns Offer as an
Ordinary Shareholder.
In such a case, if the Bourns Offer becomes unconditional, Bourns will acquire the
Ordinary Shares from any Ordinary Shareholder who has accepted the Bourns Offer
at the Ordinary Shares Offer Price of $1.55.
Bourns, Inc. Page 8 Independent Adviser’s Report
2.5 Valuation of the Share Rights
Valuation Approach
We have assessed the value of the Share Rights based on the economic value that
a Share Rights holder would receive by way of accepting their Share Rights into the
Bourns Offer.
A valuation of the Share Rights under this scenario is relatively straightforward, as it
represents:
• the value of the payoff received by the Rights Shareholder (prior to any tax
deductions) – ie the Share Rights Offer Price
• less the exercise price of the Share Right – which is nil.
Therefore the use of a theoretical option valuation is not applicable.
Valuation Assessment
On the basis that Share Rights Condition is met, we assess the (pre tax) value of
each FY2025 Share Right to be $1.55 and each FY2026 Share Right to be $1.55.
Valuation of Share Rights

Share Rights
$
FY2026
Share Rights
$
Share Rights Offer Price 1.55 1.55
Exercise price - -
Value of Share Right (pre tax)
1.55 1.55
Our analysis is on a pre tax basis. We have not sought to consider the tax
implications of accepting the Share Rights into the Bourns Offer or the tax position of
the individual Share Rights holder.
2.6 Conclusion
In our opinion, the consideration and terms offered for the Share Rights are fair and
reasonable in comparison with the consideration and terms offered for the Ordinary
Shares and as between the 5 classes of Share Rights:
• the Share Rights Offer Price of $1.55 is equal to our assessed value of each
Share Right
• the Ordinary Shares Offer Price and the Share Rights Offer Price are identical
at $1.55 per security
• each vested Share Right entitles the holder to subscribe for one Ordinary Share
• as there is no amount payable by the Share Rights holder to subscribe for an
Ordinary Share, the Share Rights holder will effectively be in the same (pre tax)
financial position as Ordinary Shareholders
• we therefore conclude that the Share Rights Offer Price is fair relative to the
Ordinary Shares Offer Price
Bourns, Inc. Page 9 Independent Adviser’s Report
• our assessed value of the Share Rights is the same across the 5 classes on
issue. We therefore conclude that the Share Rights Offer Price is fair between
the 5 classes of Share Rights
• the holders of both the Ordinary Shares and the Share Rights will be paid cash
if they accept the Bourns Offer
• other than the Share Rights Condition, the Bourns Offer to the holders of both
the Ordinary Shares and the Share Rights is effectively conditional on the same
set of general conditions.

LETTER FROM BOURNS TO PROVIDE BACKGROUND TO THE NOTICE OF TAKEOVER OFFER TO
ACQUIRE ALL THE SHARES IN RAKON (NZX: RAK)
Bourns, Inc. (Bourns) has today lodged a Takeover Notice under the New Zealand Takeovers Code giving notice
of its intention to make an offer to acquire all of the fully paid ordinary shares in Rakon Limited (Rakon) for $1.55
in cash per share (the Offer). In addition, Bourns anticipates giving notice of its intention to offer to acquire all the
share rights outstanding in Rakon at $1.55 per share right. Bourns understands that there are no other classes of
equity securities.
Offer Highlights:
• Offer price - $1.55 per share / share right, all cash.
• Premium – a 72.2% premium to the last close trading price of $0.90 per share and a 87.0% premium to
the 6-month VWAP
1
of $0.829 per share.
• Lock-up agreements – the three largest Rakon shareholders and others, who in aggregate hold 41.2%
of Rakon shares, have entered into lock-up agreements to accept the Offer at $1.55 per share once the
Offer is made.
• Funding – from Bourns’ balance sheet; no financing condition.
• Conditions and approvals – 90% acceptances are required for the Offer to be successful, unless
waived. Standard regulatory approvals required in NZ and overseas jurisdictions are expected to be
forthcoming. Other typical conditions apply.

A formal Offer has not yet been made. The making of any such offer is broadly subject to the same conditions as
those set out in the Offer terms set out in the Takeover Notice. The formal Offer is expected to be released to
Rakon shareholders within the next 20 working days, and the Offer will then be capable of acceptance by Rakon
shareholders.

The Offer
The Offer, once made, would provide shareholders with a highly attractive premium and certainty of value in a
single transaction, free of brokerage costs. We believe that the Offer is compelling for the following key reasons:
1. The Offer price of $1.55 in cash per share would represent an attractive premium to Rakon’s recent share
price trading, including a premium of:
o 72.2% to the last closing price on the NZX of $0.90 on 9 January 2026, being the last trading day on
the NZX prior to the date on which we lodged the Takeover Notice;
o 84.1% to the one-month VWAP of $0.842 per share;
o 87.0% to the six-month VWAP of $0.829 per share; and,
o 116.8% to the 12-month VWAP of $0.715 per share
2. The Offer would represent an attractive premium to the Forsyth Barr broker’s note published in December
2025, which has a valuation for Rakon of $1.09 per share. This includes a discounted cash flow analysis,
which takes into account Rakon’s latest forecasts released to the market on 28 November 2025.
3. The Offer would represent an EBITDA multiple
2
of 14.9x to 23.8x Rakon’s forecast EBITDA for the year
ending 31 March 2026 of $15m to $24 million. The Offer implies a premium multiple even at the high end of
the forecast range and a very full multiple at the low end, positioning this Offer in the upper quartile of global
peer-group transactions. This assumes no under-performance against the EBITDA range.
2
Multiples derived from Rakon’s Enterprise Value. Enterprise Value calculated using Rakon’s fully diluted shares outstanding (including ordinary
shares and share rights) of 232,795,991 and reported financials as at 30 September 2025, comprising cash and cash equivalents of $12.4 million,
loans and borrowings of $11.6 million, lease liabilities of $8.9 million, retirement and other provisions of $2.8 million and interest in associates of
$14.1 million
4. Rakon’s three largest shareholders, being Robinson Family Interests, Siward Crystal Technology Co.
Limited, and Wairahi Investments Limited / Wairahi Holdings Limited, have entered into lock-up agreements
to accept the Offer in respect of all of the Rakon shares they hold or control. Timemaker Interests have also
entered into a lock-up agreement. This represents 41.2% of the total Rakon shares on issue. Around 77% of
this group comprises the Robinson Family Interests and Siward Crystal Technology Co. Limited with full
visibility into current company performance and trends and a full understanding of the company’s future
growth prospects.
5. In late 2023, Rakon announced to the NZX it had received a non-binding, highly conditional indication of
interest at $1.70 per share. Bourns understands that the bidder did not proceed to make a formal offer as it
could not satisfy itself in due diligence. Therefore, Bourns assesses that the indicative offer price of $1.70 per
share was overstated. Bourns’ offer is not subject to a due diligence condition.
6. Global stock markets are trading near all-time highs, including semiconductor stocks, and any sustained
market sell-off is likely to severely impact Rakon’s share price, as was evidenced in the market sell-off in April
2025, when Rakon’s share price fell to $0.41 per share.
Counterfactual to the Offer
Rakon has a strong history of innovation and operates in a dynamic industry. However, if the Offer does not
succeed, Rakon shareholders remain exposed to the challenges Rakon has faced for many years, including
volatile earnings, limited access to capital to fund ongoing business initiatives and pursue growth opportunities,
low share liquidity, and regulatory complexities. In addition, since listing on the NZX in 2006, Rakon has only
once paid a dividend of 1.5c in July 2023, and no further dividends have been declared. Bourns’ offer would
provide shareholders certainty and immediate value, while also positioning Rakon for long-term success as part of
Bourns’ global operations.
These factors have constrained Rakon’s ability to deliver sustained value as a listed company.
Formal Offer to be made in next 20 business days
The indicative terms of the Offer are set out in the Takeover Notice that accompanies this letter, which we
encourage you to read in full. Rakon shareholders are encouraged to carefully consider the merits of the offer. We
are confident that this proposal represents a compelling opportunity to unlock significant value and deliver a
positive outcome. You may also wish to seek professional advice from your financial, legal or tax adviser. In due
course, you will be able to accept the Offer online via Computershare, or by completing and returning the relevant
Acceptance Form enclosed with the formal Offer Document when it is released in the next 20 business days.
Our Offer will be subject to conditions, including being conditional upon reaching acceptances of 90%. If that
threshold is not reached and the condition is not waived, the Offer will lapse and Rakon shareholders will not be
paid $1.55 for each of their shares or share rights in Rakon.
We require regulatory approvals from authorities in New Zealand, France and the United Kingdom and each of
those applications are being lodged and are expected to be forthcoming.
We believe the Offer will represent a compelling opportunity for you to sell your shares and share rights and
encourage you to accept the Offer for all your holdings once the formal Offer is made in the next 20 business
days.
Yours faithfully,
Al Yost
