New Warrant Issue for Marlin
The directors of Marlin Global Limited (Marlin) are pleased to announce that the company will
undertake a pro rata offer of warrants to shareholders.
The issue of warrants is part of Marlin’s ongoing capital management programme and provides
investors with the ability to purchase additional shares in Marlin at a pre-determined Exercise Price.
The issue of warrants also aims to increase the size of the portfolio so as to improve operational
efficiency. The net proceeds from the warrant issue are expected to be used for further investment
in the Marlin portfolio.
On the record date, eligible Marlin shareholders will be issued one warrant for every four shares
held. The record date for the issue is 22 April 2026, and the warrants are expected to be allotted on
23 April 2026.
Each warrant gives shareholders the right, but not the obligation, to subscribe for one additional
ordinary share in Marlin on the exercise date. The exercise date is 23 April 2027.
The exercise price will be $0.87 less any dividends declared (and the impact of any capital structure
changes, per clause 28 of the Warrant Terms Offer Document) with a record date during the period
commencing on the date of allotment of the warrants and up to the announcement of the final
exercise price. The final exercise price will be calculated and advised to warrant holders at least six
weeks before the exercise date.
The warrants are expected to be quoted on the NZX Main Board from 24 April 2026 under the issuer
code MLNWH.

The Offer
This is an offer of Warrants in Marlin. Each Eligible Shareholder will be
issued one Warrant for every four Shares held, subject to rounding, at
5.00pm (New Zealand time) on the Record Date (22 April 2026).
Each Warrant gives the holder a right to buy one Share in Marlin upon
payment of the Exercise Price on the Exercise Date (23 April 2027).
Eligible
Shareholders
Warrants will be issued to Marlin Shareholders with a registered
address in New Zealand recorded on the share register at 5.00pm
(New Zealand time) on the Record Date.
Issue price for
Warrants
Nil – Eligible Shareholders will not have to make any payment to
receive their entitlement of Warrants.
Approximate number
of Warrants to be
issued
57.2 million (approximately). The exact number will depend on
rounding.
Quotation of
Warrants
Application has been made to NZX for permission to quote the
Warrants on the NZX Main Board and all the requirements of NZX
relating to the quotation of the Warrants that can be complied with
on or before the date of this document have been complied with.
However, the Warrants have not yet been approved for trading and
NZX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this document.
NZX is a licensed market operator, and the NZX Main Board is a
licensed market under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
If approved for trading, initial quotation of the Warrants on the NZX
Main Board is expected to occur on 24 April 2026 under the ticker
code MLNWH, ISIN NZMLNE0013S5.
Exercise of Warrants
Warrant Holders may:
• exercise some or all of their Warrants by completing an online
Exercise Form with the Registrar (and making payment) by
the Exercise Date (if you choose to exercise only some of your
Warrants, it must be a number which ensures you will have a
minimum holding of Shares under the Listing Rules);
• sell some or all of their Warrants on the NZX Main Board; or
• allow their Warrants to lapse.
Any Warrants not exercised on the Exercise Date will lapse.
If you do not exercise your Warrants, your shareholding in Marlin may
be diluted by other Warrant Holders who exercise their Warrants.
This dilution will relate to your percentage shareholding in Marlin as
the number of Shares that you hold will not change as a result of not
participating in the Offer.
The issue of new Shares on exercise of the Warrants may result in a
consequential reduction in the net asset value (NAV) per Share once
the new Shares are issued. The extent of the dilution effect (if any) on
the NAV per Share will depend upon the actual number of Warrants
exercised and the final Exercise Price in comparison to the NAV per
Share immediately prior to the issue of the new Shares.
MARLIN GLOBAL LIMITED
WARRANT TERMS
3
In order to illustrate the potential reduction in NAV per Share for those
who do not exercise or sell their Warrants, the dilution effect associated
with prior Marlin warrants over the last fifteen years has ranged from a
0% to 4.3% reduction in NAV per Share. (Please note that the dilution
effect from future warrants has no correlation with the dilution effect
experienced from historical warrants).
Exercise Price
$0.87 per Warrant, but with such amount to be adjusted down for
the aggregate amount per Share of any cash dividends declared on
the Shares with a record date during the period commencing on the
date of allotment of the Warrants and ending on the last Business Day
before the final Exercise Price is announced by Marlin.
The final Exercise Price per Warrant (following the adjustment referred
to above) will be calculated to the nearest one hundredth of a cent and
then rounded up or down to the nearest whole cent.
Announcement of
final Exercise Price
Marlin will announce the final Exercise Price to the NZX at least six
weeks before the Exercise Date. Marlin will also provide confirmation
of the final Exercise Price to Warrant Holders through their recorded
preferred method for receipt of company communications.
How to Exercise
your Warrants
If you are a Warrant Holder and wish to exercise any of your Warrants
and subscribe for Shares, you must complete the online Exercise
Form (and make payment of the Exercise Price) by the Exercise Date.
Marlin will advise Warrant Holders how to access the online Exercise
Form as soon as reasonably practicable after the final Exercise Price
has been determined.
Warrant Holders must exercise their Warrants by completing an
online Exercise Form. Exercise Forms will not be provided to Warrant
Holders in hard-copy.

Important notice
Warrants (and Shares to be issued on the
exercise of Warrants) are offered to Eligible
Shareholders pursuant to the exclusion
in clause 19(1A) of Schedule 1 of the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
This document is not a product disclosure
statement for the purposes of the Financial
Markets Conduct Act 2013 and does
not contain all of the information that an
investor would find in a product disclosure
statement, or which may be required to
make an informed decision about the
Warrants or an investment in Marlin.
The information in this document does
not constitute a recommendation to
exercise Warrants nor does it amount to
financial advice. This document has been
prepared without taking into account
the particular needs or circumstances of
any investor, including their investment
objectives, financial and/or tax position.
All investments carry risk. If you are in
any doubt about what action to take, you
should contact a financial advice provider,
an NZX Adviser Firm or your accountant
or other professional adviser. Please read
this document carefully and in full before
making any decision.
This document does not constitute an
offer, advertisement or invitation in any
place in which, or to any person to whom,
it would not be lawful to make such an
offer, advertisement or invitation.
No guarantee is provided by any person
in relation to the Warrants or Shares.
Likewise, no warranty is provided with
regard to the future performance of Marlin,
or any return on any investments made
pursuant to this document.
Additional information about Marlin
Global Limited
Marlin is subject to continuous disclosure
obligations under the Listing Rules
which require it to notify certain material
information to NZX. Market releases by
Marlin, including the most recent annual
report (for the period ended 30 June 2025)
are available at nzx.com under the ticker
code MLN and on Marlin’s website,
marlin.co.nz. Marlin also releases through
NZX weekly and month end details of the
NAV of the portfolio and monthly updates
and quarterly newsletters.
Marlin may, prior to the Exercise Date,
make additional market releases to NZX.
You should monitor Marlin’s market
announcements before deciding whether
to exercise or sell your Warrants. No
market release by Marlin will permit a
Warrant Holder to withdraw any previously
submitted online Exercise Form without
Marlin’s prior consent.
Market risk
The market price of Shares may increase
or decrease between the issue of this
document and the date of allotment of
new Shares upon exercise of the Warrants.
Because Marlin invests in shares of other
companies, changes in the market prices
of those other shares may affect Marlin’s
share price. Any subsequent changes in
the market price of Shares will not affect
the Exercise Price, and the market price of
Shares following allotment may be higher
or lower than the Exercise Price.
Marlin’s share price can trade at either a
premium to the NAV, or at a discount to
the NAV. Marlin’s NAV is calculated on a
weekly and month end basis, and released
to the NZX and disclosed on Marlin’s
website, marlin.co.nz.
The dates shown above are subject to change and indicative only. Marlin reserves the
right to vary or extend these dates subject to applicable law and the Listing Rules.
Changes will be advised by announcement to NZX.
Marlin may decide not to proceed with the issue of Warrants at any time before the
allotment of Warrants at its absolute discretion. Shareholders will have no right to receive
Warrants or any compensation if Marlin decides not to proceed.

The Offer
1. Marlin will issue one Warrant for
every four Shares held by an Eligible
Shareholder recorded on the share
register at 5.00pm (New Zealand time)
on the Record Date (22 April 2026).
2. The purpose of the issue of Warrants
is to raise capital as part of Marlin’s
ongoing capital management
programme and provide investors
with the ability to purchase additional
shares in Marlin at a pre-determined
Exercise Price. The issue of Warrants
also aims to increase the size of the
portfolio so as to improve operational
efficiency. The net proceeds are
expected to be used for further
investment in the Marlin portfolio.
Grant of Warrants
3. Warrants will only be issued to
Shareholders with a registered
address in New Zealand recorded
on the share register at 5.00pm
(New Zealand time) on the Record
Date. Warrants will not be issued
to Marlin’s overseas Shareholders
as Marlin considers that the legal
requirements of other jurisdictions in
which Shareholders have a registered
address are such that it would be
unduly onerous for Marlin to issue
Warrants to Shareholders in those
jurisdictions, having regard to the
low number of such Shareholders
and the likely costs of complying with
the relevant legal requirements. This
document is intended for use only in
connection with the issue of Warrants
to Eligible Shareholders.
4. Shareholders with a registered
address outside of New Zealand
recorded on the share register at
5.00pm (New Zealand time) on the
Record Date will have the Warrants
they would have otherwise received,
issued to a separate registry account
with the Registrar. Marlin will
endeavour to sell those Warrants on
the NZX Main Board and hold the
proceeds on trust and account to
those Shareholders on a pro rata basis
for the proceeds (net of costs). There
is no guarantee that the Warrants will
be able to be sold or as to the amount
of proceeds that may be received from
the sale of the Warrants. Any Warrants
which cannot be sold will lapse on the
Exercise Date.
5. Warrant Holders who do not have a
registered address in New Zealand
and who have acquired Warrants on
the NZX Main Board will be entitled
to exercise those Warrants (subject to
compliance with all legal requirements
applicable to them). Individual
overseas Warrant Holders will be
responsible for ensuring they comply
with all applicable legal requirements
in their home jurisdiction.
DETAILS OF THE OFFER
The market price of Warrants may also increase or decrease while they are quoted on the
NZX Main Board.

Rounding of Warrants
6. If a Shareholder would receive a
fraction of a Warrant by applying the
1:4 ratio, the number of Warrants to
be issued to that Shareholder will
be rounded up to the nearest whole
number.
7. To ensure all Eligible Shareholders
receive Warrants on an equal basis, no
additional Warrants will be issued by
Marlin to those Shareholders whose
existing holding, plus new shares,
would be less than the minimum
holding under the NZX Listing Rules.
You may hold less than a minimum
holding of Warrants, and you may be
able to buy further Warrants on the
NZX Main Board if you wish to do so.
NZX quotation
8. Application has been made to NZX
for permission to quote the Warrants
on the NZX Main Board. All of
NZX’s requirements relating to that
application that can be complied with
on or before the date of this document
have been complied with. However,
the Warrants have not yet been
approved for trading and NZX accepts
no responsibility for any statement
in this document. NZX is a licensed
market operator and the NZX Main
Board is a licensed market under the
Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.
9. In the event that the application to NZX
for permission to quote the Warrants is
declined, the issue of the Warrants will
not proceed.
10. Marlin intends to take all necessary
steps to ensure that the Shares issued
on exercise of the Warrants will,
immediately after issue, be quoted on
the NZX Main Board.
Transfer
11. Warrant may be transferred in the
same manner, and subject to the same
restrictions, as a Share. The Directors
will have the same powers in respect
of the approval of registration of a
transfer of Warrants as they have in
respect of a transfer of Shares.
12. A Warrant Holder who sells their
Warrants on the NZX Main Board
may be liable to pay brokerage fees.
Following allotment, the sale of Shares
may be subject to brokerage fees.
13. If you wish to sell Shares you hold
directly on the NZX Main Board, you
should contact an NZX Adviser Firm
and have a Common Shareholder
Number (CSN) and an authorisation
code, Faster Identification Number
(FIN).
Rights of Warrant Holders
14. Each Warrant entitles the Warrant
Holder to:
a. subscribe for one Share in Marlin
credited as fully paid, upon the
payment of the Exercise Price by
the Exercise Date (23 April 2027);
b. all information provided by Marlin to
Shareholders, including its annual
report and notices of Shareholder
meetings;
c. any other rights conferred on
Warrant Holders by Marlin’s
constitution, the Companies Act
1993 or the Listing Rules (except
as provided otherwise in this
document); and
d. attend (but not vote at) any meeting
of Shareholders (or any group of
Shareholders).
DETAILS OF THE OFFER CONTINUED
MARLIN GLOBAL LIMITED
WARRANT TERMS
715. A Warrant does not entitle the Warrant
Holder to:
a. vote at a meeting of Shareholders
(or any group of Shareholders);
b. receive any dividends on Shares
declared by the Directors; or
c. participate with Shareholders or the
holders of any other securities in
the residual assets of Marlin upon
the liquidation of the company.
Exercise of Warrants
16. The Exercise Price is $0.87 per
Warrant, but with such amount to
be adjusted down for the aggregate
amount per Share of any cash
dividends declared on the Shares
with a record date during the period
commencing on the date of allotment
of the Warrants and ending on the
last Business Day before the final
Exercise Price is announced by Marlin.
The final Exercise Price per Warrant
will be calculated to the nearest one
hundredth of a cent and then rounded
up or down to the nearest whole cent.
17. Warrant Holders may choose to
exercise only some or all of their
Warrants provided that they will
have, following the exercise of their
Warrants, a minimum holding of
Shares under the Listing Rules.
18. If you choose to exercise any
Warrants, you will be required to pay
the Exercise Price for those Warrants
in full by the Exercise Date. You will not
be required to pay brokerage or any
other charges in order to exercise your
Warrants.
19. If you are a Warrant Holder and wish
to exercise any of your Warrants
and subscribe for Shares, you must
complete the online Exercise Form
by the Exercise Date. Marlin will
direct Warrant Holders to the online
Exercise Form as soon as reasonably
practicable after the final Exercise
Price has been determined.
20. The online Exercise Form must be
completed and payment made (in a
manner prescribed by Marlin in the
Exercise Letter) of an amount equal
to the Exercise Price multiplied by the
number of Warrants being exercised,
in time for the online Exercise Form
and payment to be received by the
Registrar no later than 5.00pm (New
Zealand time) on the Exercise Date.
Applications received after this
time may not be accepted. Further
instructions for completing the online
Exercise Form will be set out in the
Exercise Letter.
21. Marlin may accept or reject any online
Exercise Form which it considers is
incorrectly completed or incomplete
or otherwise determined to be invalid.
Marlin may correct any errors or
omissions on any online Exercise
Form. If there is a discrepancy
between the amount of application
monies received by Marlin and the
number of Warrants being exercised
as indicated on the online Exercise
Form, Marlin will regard the Warrant
Holder as only exercising the number
of Warrants in respect of which it has
paid the Exercise Price in full.
22. A Warrant Holder will not be able to
withdraw or revoke the exercise of
their Warrants once an online Exercise
Form has been submitted, without the
consent of Marlin.
23. Until the allotment of Shares, funds
received by Marlin for the exercise
of Warrants will be held on trust in
a separate bank account by the
Registrar for the benefit of the relevant
Warrant Holders according to their
respective entitlements and for Marlin.
If the allotment of Shares does not
MARLIN GLOBAL LIMITED
WARRANT TERMS
8
proceed, Marlin will refund application
monies within 10 Business Days. Any
interest on those funds will be paid to
Marlin.
Allotment of Shares
24. All Shares issued on the exercise of
Warrants will be fully paid ordinary
Shares and rank equally with all other
Shares on issue at the date of allotment
(including on a liquidation of Marlin).
Marlin will allot Shares to Warrant
Holders who validly exercise their
Warrants within five Business Days after
the Exercise Date.
25. If you are an existing Shareholder who
chooses not to exercise your Warrants,
your shareholding in Marlin may be
diluted if other Warrant Holders exercise
Warrants and the total number of
Shares on issue in Marlin increases as a
result.
26. Shares issued on the exercise of
Warrants will be entitled to participate
in dividends declared on the Shares
which have a record date after the date
of allotment of the Shares.
27. Marlin currently has a distribution policy
as at the date of this document to pay
Shareholders (but not Warrant Holders)
2% of the company’s average net asset
value (NAV) per quarter. Payments
are usually made in March, June,
September and December of each year.
A copy of Marlin’s distribution policy,
which could be changed at any time in
the future, is available at marlin.co.nz/
about-marlin/marlin-policies under the
heading ‘Distribution Policy’.
Adjustments for changes to capital
structure
28. The Exercise Price may be varied
before the Exercise Date if Marlin’s
capital is restructured, such as upon a
rights issue, bonus issue, convertible
securities issue, share consolidation
or subdivision or a cancellation or
buyback of Shares. The adjustment
process is described further below.
a. If Marlin makes a rights issue of
Shares to Shareholders before the
Exercise Date (a “Rights Issue”),
then the Exercise Price of any
Warrants will (subject to alternative
adjustments in accordance
with paragraph b or c below) be
adjusted in accordance with the
following formula:
EP
new
= the new Exercise Price of
the Warrants
EP
old
= the old Exercise Price of
the Warrants
E = the number of Shares
into which one Warrant is
exercisable
AP = the average market price
per Share (weighted by
reference to volume) during
the five Business Days
ending on the day before
the ex-date for the rights
issue
S = the subscription price for
a Share under the rights
issue
D = any dividend due but not
yet paid on the existing
Shares (except dividends to
be issued under the rights
issue)
N = the number of Shares with
rights or entitlements that
must be held to receive a
right to one new Share
EP
new
= EP
old
–
E[AP – (S+D)]
N + 1
DETAILS OF THE OFFER CONTINUED
MARLIN GLOBAL LIMITED

9The necessary adjustment will
be determined by the Board by
applying the formula set out above.
The Board’s determination will, in
the absence of manifest error, be
binding on all Warrant Holders and
other persons. Any adjustment
so determined will be made, and
take effect, on the Business Day
following the record date for the
rights issue.
b. If Marlin makes a bonus issue to
Shareholders, then the Board may
resolve that the number of Shares
over which a Warrant is exercisable
be increased (or additional Shares
may be reserved for issue on
exercise of the Warrants) by
the number of Shares which
the Warrant Holder would have
received if that Warrant had been
exercised before the record date of
the bonus issue.
c. If Marlin makes a consolidation or
subdivision or similar proportionate
reconstruction of the Shares, the
number of Shares over which a
Warrant is exercisable may be
consolidated or subdivided in the
same ratio and the Exercise Price
amended in inverse proportion to
that ratio.
d. If, notwithstanding the adjustment
procedures permitted, Marlin’s
capital is restructured (including
a rights issue, bonus issue,
convertible securities issue,
consolidation, subdivision,
cancellation or Share buyback) and
the Board determines, upon the
advice of an Independent Expert,
that:
i. the application of the
formula under paragraph
a, an adjustment permitted
by paragraph b or the non-
applicability of both such
clauses may produce a result
which is prejudicial or unduly
advantageous (based on
reasonable grounds) to Warrant
Holders; or
ii. an alternative adjustment that is
not envisaged in paragraph a, b
or c could be applied,
then the number of Warrants
held, the number of Shares over
which a Warrant is exercisable,
and the Exercise Price, or any
combination thereof, may, to the
extent necessary, be altered in a
manner determined by the Board,
upon the advice of an Independent
Expert and subject always to the
Listing Rules or relief granted
from any applicable Listing Rule,
to ensure that Warrant Holders
are not prejudiced (nor unduly
advantaged or disadvantaged) by
the reconstruction of capital, and in
all other respects the terms of the
Warrants will remain unchanged.
Any such adjustment will be final
and binding on all Warrant Holders.
No guarantee
29. No person guarantees the Warrants
or the Shares that may be issued on
exercise of the Warrants. In addition,
no person guarantees the future
performance of Marlin, the Warrants,
the Shares or any return on an
investment in Marlin or a holding of
Warrants.
30. The issue of Warrants is not
underwritten.

Dear Shareholder,
The Board of Marlin Global Limited (NZX: MLN) (Marlin) today announced an issue of warrants.
The issue of warrants is part of Marlin’s ongoing capital management programme and provides investors with the
ability to purchase additional shares in Marlin at a pre-determined Exercise Price. The issue of warrants also aims
to increase the size of the portfolio so as to improve operational efficiency. The net proceeds from the warrant
issue are expected to be used for further investment in the Marlin portfolio.
What is a Marlin warrant?
A warrant gives the holder a right to buy one share in Marlin upon payment of the Exercise Price on the Exercise
Date (23 April 2027).
Who is eligible for the Marlin warrants?
Warrants will be issued to Marlin shareholders with a registered address in New Zealand recorded on the share
register as at 5.00pm (New Zealand time) on the Record Date (22 April 2026) (Eligible Shareholders). As long as
you hold Marlin shares at that time, you will be entitled to receive one warrant for every four shares you hold. If
you are a Marlin shareholder but do not have a registered address in New Zealand, your warrants will be issued to
a separate registry account with Marlin's share registrar, and we will endeavour to sell the warrants on the NZX
Main Board on your behalf.
How many Marlin warrants do I get?
Each Eligible Shareholder will be issued one warrant for every four shares held at 5.00pm (New Zealand time) on
the Record Date (22 April 2026), subject to rounding up where the Eligible Shareholder would receive a fraction of
a warrant by applying the 1:4 ratio.
What do I need to do to receive the Marlin warrants?
You do not need to do anything to be issued warrants. Computershare will send a statement informing you of
your new warrant holding if you are an Eligible Shareholder. This is expected to be on or about 28 April 2026.
What can I do with the warrants?
• You can elect to exercise some or all of your warrants by 23 April 2027 by completing the online Exercise
Form and making payment of the final Exercise Price for those warrants. We will contact you again in March
2027 before the Exercise Date, with details of the final Exercise Price and provide you with details of how to
access and complete the online Exercise Form.
• You can seek to sell or transfer some or all of your warrants on the NZX Main Board from 24 April 2026 until
5.00pm on 19 April 2027.
• You can elect to not exercise or sell any warrants and allow the warrants to lapse. If you do not exercise your
warrants, your shareholding in Marlin will be diluted by other warrant holders who exercise their warrants.
If I want to exercise the warrants, how much will it cost?
The final Exercise Price will be determined closer to the Exercise Date. It will be $0.87 per warrant, but with such
amount to be adjusted down for the aggregate amount per share of any cash dividends declared on Marlin shares
with a record date during the period commencing on the date of allotment of the warrants (23 April 2026) and
ending on the last business day before the final Exercise Price is announced by Marlin.
