4 | CDL Investments New Zealand Limited
CDI has built a strong reputation over many years as a disciplined land
developer focused on delivering long-term value for shareholders. Through
multiple property cycles, the Company has maintained a consistent approach –
prudent capital management, disciplined development decisions and a focus
on maintaining a strong balance sheet.
The 2025 financial year unfolded against subdued residential market conditions.
While inflation and mortgage rates eased during the year, broader economic
uncertainty and cost-of-living pressures continued to temper purchaser
confidence. As a result, residential section sales activity across the sector
remained below prior years.
In this environment, the Board maintained a clear focus on advancing
active developments, preserving balance sheet strength and flexibility,
and progressing planning, consenting and development preparation activities
across the portfolio. This disciplined approach to capital allocation and
development readiness is intended to ensure CDI is well positioned with
quality inventory ready to meet demand as the residential market improves.
The Board views this positioning as critical to support earnings resilience
and delivering long-term shareholder value as the next cycle unfolds.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
For the year ended 31 December 2025, CDI recorded a profit after tax of $11.1
million (2024: $15.4 million). Property sales and other income totalled $38.1
million (2024: $49.1 million), reflecting the softer residential market conditions.
Despite these conditions, the Company remains in a strong financial position.
Shareholders’ funds remained stable at $321.2 million (2024: $319.7 million),
and total assets increased slightly to $331.6 million (2024: $328.6 million).
Net tangible assets per share were 109.7 cents (2024: 109.5 cents) at book value.
PROPERTY PORTFOLIO
During the year, the Company continued to advance its consented and active
developments in Christchurch and Havelock North, which Jason has expanded
on in the CEO’s Review. The Christchurch region continued to perform well,
highlighting the benefits of CDI’s regional diversification strategy.
The Company’s industrial and commercial assets continued to provide
earnings resilience during the year, reinforcing the strength of a deliberate
diversification strategy initiated in 2019 to moderate exposure to residential
market cycles. This balanced portfolio across regions and asset classes is
an important contributor to the Company’s ability to manage earnings
volatility through the property cycle.
PLANNING ENVIRONMENT
The commencement of some future developments continues to be influenced
by evolving planning and land-use settings at national and regional levels.
This ongoing period of transition has required councils to reassess growth
sequencing and land classifications, adding complexity and extending
timeframes across the sector.
In response, CDI has maintained flexibility across its landholdings, staged
investment carefully and advanced planning pathways to support delivery
certainty. During the year, the Company leveraged the Fast-track consenting
process for its Arataki Road and Iona projects in Havelock North, and progressed
the Ruakura 2 Growth Cell in north-east Hamilton (further detailed in the CEO’s
Review). These initiatives continue to enhance CDI’s future project pipeline.
DIVIDEND
The Board has taken a balanced approach to capital allocation, rewarding
shareholders for another profitable year, while retaining funds to advance
development works, Fast-track projects and potential acquisitions. Accordingly,
the Board has declared a fully imputed ordinary dividend of 1 cent per share
payable 15 May 2026 with a record date of 1 May 2026. The Dividend Reinvestment
Plan will apply to this dividend.
GOVERNANCE
During the year, the Board strengthened its governance capability with the
appointment of independent director Julian Smith. Julian brings extensive
governance, strategic and transformational experience, further enhancing
the depth of capability and perspective around the Board table.
SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK
The Board remains cautiously optimistic for the year ahead. While signs of
improving buyer enquiry emerged toward the end of 2025, broader economic
conditions suggest that any recovery in residential demand
will be gradual.
CDI enters 2026 with a strong balance sheet, an experienced and refreshed
Board and Management team, and a well-prepared development pipeline that
positions the Company to capitalise on the next phase of the property cycle.
On behalf of the Board, I thank Jason and the Management team for their
dedicated efforts during a challenging year, and shareholders for their
continued support and confidence.

2025 DEVELOPMENT
SUMMARY
All timings stated above are indicative only and subject to change.
CDL Investments New Zealand Limited | 7
While we were disappointed that Iona Stage 3 was not included in the
Napier–Hastings Future Development Strategy, despite a recommendation
from the Independent Hearing Panel, we continue to see strong long-term
potential for this land. On that basis, we have commenced the urban zoning
process through the Fast-track framework to progress its future development.
ACQUISITIONS
We took advantage of subdued market conditions during the year and entered
into strategic acquisition agreements to purchase land in Havelock North (0.36 ha)
and Hamilton (1.76 ha), which further strengthened our Fast-track applications
in those locations. We also settled 6.5 hectares of land in January 2025 after
receiving consent under the Overseas Investment Act for the acquisition.
INVESTMENT PROPERTY PORTFOLIO
PERFORMS STEADILY
Our investment property portfolio continued to perform steadily during 2025.
As mentioned earlier, the industrial warehousing sector remained resilient
with stable yields, low vacancy rates and strong investor demand supporting
its position as an attractive asset class. CDI’s industrial warehouses at Wiri in
Auckland remain fully tenanted with stable lease terms.
Leasing activity also progressed at our retail centres during the year, despite
the more challenging conditions across the hospitality and retail sectors. We
leased two units at our Prestons Park Suburban Retail Centre during the year,
with the last three of 16 units remaining to be leased. CDL’s Stonebrook Retail
Centre remains fully leased.
INTERNAL RESOURCING
We strengthened our internal capability during the year with the appointment
of a General Counsel and Company Secretary, and a Financial Controller, further
supporting the Company’s operational capability for future planned growth.
KEY FOCUS FOR 2026
Our focus for 2026 will be to secure section sales and investment property
revenue to deliver another profitable year to shareholders, continue progressing
our active development sites to provide section inventory for future sales from
2027 onwards, and advancing our Fast-track projects to provide for our future,
whilst maintaining disciplined capital allocation so that CDI is well-positioned
as market conditions improve. We will continue to monitor market conditions
and make strategic acquisitions where these become available.
CDI enters the year ahead with a strong balance sheet, an experienced and
capable team and a well-established development pipeline. We continue to
contribute to the supply of quality residential and commercial developments
across New Zealand, remaining focused on disciplined execution and delivering
sustainable long-term value for shareholders.
JASON ADAMS
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
2025 OVERVIEW
As Desleigh outlined in the Chair’s Review, 2025 saw subdued residential market
conditions with economic uncertainty and cost-of-living pressures continuing to
influence purchaser confidence. Although inflation and mortgage rates eased
during the year, and enquiry levels were reasonably active, much of this interest
failed to convert into sales as prospective purchasers took a cautious approach,
choosing to sit on their hands and deferring decisions amid uncertainty about
the pace of economic recovery and future market conditions.
On the commercial property front, the industrial warehousing sector performed
well throughout the year with stable yields, low vacancy rates and strong
investor demand. In contrast, the retail and hospitality sectors struggled with
reduced discretionary spending, slowing the sector’s recovery, resulting
in businesses tightening their belts and taking a very cautious approach.
In this environment, CDI remained focused on disciplined capital management
while continuing to progress developments that support the Company’s
long-term growth ambition.
DEVELOPMENT PROGRESS
During the year, we made steady progress across several of our key
developments. Construction of Stages 4 and 6 at Prestons Park in Christchurch
was completed, bringing this important development to conclusion. Since its
commencement in 2014 following the Canterbury earthquakes, the project
has delivered more than 1,000 residential sections and was instrumental in
supporting displaced residents through the early days of the earthquake
recovery efforts.
At our Iona residential subdivision in Havelock North, development progressed
with the completion of Stages 1A-D, including the Middle Road upgrade, a new
wastewater pump station, and provision of 91 residential sections for the
local Hawke’s Bay market. We commenced the Iona Road upgrade and made
significant progress throughout the year with the earthworks for Stage 2 –
Iona Terraces.
Earthworks also commenced at our 29 lot Wairakei Road industrial development
in Harewood, Christchurch. This project will provide a mix of land sales and
retained lots for commercial design, build and leasing, supporting the continued
expansion of CDI’s investment property portfolio.
ADVANCING OUR PIPELINE
Alongside our active developments, we continued to advance the Company’s
medium to longer-term pipeline. A Fast-track application was lodged for the
Arataki Road development in Havelock North, comprising 171 residential sections,
with the application being approved by the Fast-track Panel in February of
this year. Subject to the appeal period, we are planning on undertaking the
earthworks throughout the 2026/27 construction season and anticipate
residential sections from the first stage being available for sale toward the
end of 2027.
Work also progressed on preparations for a Fast-track application for our
140 ha land holding in the Ruakura 2 (R2) Growth Cell in north-east Hamilton.
This is a substantial project, which, subject to approval, will yield more than
1,350 residential sections and over 35 hectares of commercial industrial land
adjacent to the Waikato Expressway. The Fast-track application for R2 is planned
to be lodged by the end of 2026.

BOARD COMPOSITION
In May 2025, the Board’s long-serving independent director, Mr Henderson,
retired from the Board after 19 years of valued contribution and service to CDI.
Following his retirement, the Board comprised an equal number of independent
and non-independent directors while it undertook a recruitment process for an
independent director. Mr Smith was appointed to the Board in December 2025,
restoring an independent majority.
As at 31 December 2025, the Board comprised five directors: Ms Jameson (Chair,
Independent), Ms Elrick (Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee, Independent),
Mr Kwek (Non-Executive), Mr Yeo (Non-Executive), and Mr Smith (Independent).
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The Board reviews the independence of directors against the criteria set out in
the NZX Corporate Governance Code. In December 2025, the Board confirmed
that Ms Jameson and Ms Elrick remained independent, and that Mr Smith met
the independence criteria on his appointment to the Board.
AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE
CDI has an Audit and Risk Committee (Committee), which is its sole standing
committee. The Committee operates under an Audit & Risk Committee Charter
that sets out its responsibilities. In accordance with the Board Charter, the Board
may establish additional committees or subcommittees from time to time, as it
considers necessary.
The Committee is chaired by Ms Elrick, who is a Chartered Accountant and has
extensive finance experience. The Chair of the Committee is responsible for
providing the Board with updates and recommendations on matters resolved
at Committee meetings.
During 2025, the Committee comprised Ms Elrick (Chair, Independent),

DIVERSITY
CDI is committed to maintaining a respectful, safe and inclusive workplace
where all individuals are treated with dignity and are able to contribute fully.
We do not tolerate discrimination, harassment or bullying in any form, and
we work to provide all of our people with equitable access to opportunity
across our workplace.
As part of CDI’s governance policy review, the Board implemented a new
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy in February 2026. The Policy formalises
CDI’s approach to fostering diversity and inclusion across the Company and
supports fair, inclusive and merit-based recruitment and development practices.
The Policy includes the following objectives:
• Transparent annual reporting of gender representation across the Board,
Management and workforce.
• Inclusive and unbiased recruitment, with processes designed to attract
a broad range of candidates and support equitable decision making.
• Strengthen capability and inclusive leadership, providing development
opportunities suited to CDI’s size and structure.
• Maintenance of a workplace free from discrimination, harassment
and bullying.
The Board has set diversity targets for 2026 focused on maintaining or improving
female representation at both Board and Management level, recognising the
importance of balanced perspectives in governance and leadership.
GENDER REPRESENTATION
AS AT 31 DECEMBER 2025
In 2024, CDL operated with shared resourcing from MCK, resulting in a smaller
and differently structured workforce. In 2025, CDL expanded its team from five
to eight employees, including establishing dedicated finance and legal roles. Due
to these resourcing changes and reduction on the number of shared resourcing
from MCK, CDI has not undertaken a year-on-year diversity comparison between
2024 and 2025.
The Board considers that CDI maintained an inclusive and respectful workplace
during the year and continued to apply fair and merit-based employment
practices. CDI recognises the importance of flexible working arrangements
to broaden the talent pool and support diversity outcomes.
The Board will continue to monitor progress against CDI’s diversity objectives
and refine those objectives over time to support an inclusive workplace where
people can contribute fully and thrive.
For CDI’s complete Corporate Governance Statement, see page 54. A copy of
the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy referred above can be found on our
website (www.cdlinvestments.co.nz).

SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability is an important part of CDI’s approach to responsible land
development and long-term value creation. As a land developer, CDI recognises
that its activities have environmental, social and economic impacts, and that
sustainable business practices support resilient communities, disciplined
development and enduring shareholder value.
While CDI is no longer subject to mandatory climate-related reporting, the Board
considers environmental
responsibility and long-term sustainability essential to
CDI’s strategy,
operations, and role in delivering well-planned developments across
New Zealand.
Reflecting this commitment, CDI has continued to voluntarily measure
and report its greenhouse gas emissions, consistent with prior years,
and has maintained Toitu certification to support transparency, continuous
improvement, and independent verification of its emissions profile.

MEASURING EMISSIONS
CDI began measuring its climate change emissions in 2023, and this was its
previous baseline reporting year. In 2025, CDI made good progress on the
identified material topics relating to the collection of emission data, including
streamlining inventory collection and improvements in capturing emissions
sources. This included working with our suppliers and contractors to facilitate
inventory data improvements.
CDI has continued to improve the quality of its emissions data collection and
calculation methodologies in 2025. In particular, for business travel, CDI replaced
its prior spend based approach (used in 2023–2024) with an activity based
method using actual kilometres travelled and fuel consumption, improving data
accuracy and resulting in a material variance in reported emissions that reflects
methodology rather than a change in activity.
In 2025, CDI also expanded its organisational and operational boundaries to
include downstream leased assets, and broadened Scope 3 disclosures, both
of which materially affected total reported emissions.
These methodological and boundary changes have materially affected the total
emissions reported by CDI due to improved accuracy and completeness of the
inventory. As a result of these changes, emissions reported for earlier years are
not directly comparable with 2025. On this basis, CDI has designated 2025 as its
baseline year for future greenhouse gas emissions reporting and performance
tracking. Accordingly, no year-on-year comparison to 2024 has been presented.
For the reporting period 1 January 2025 to 31 December 2025 CDI’s greenhouse
gas inventory has been prepared in accordance with the GHG Protocol Corporate
Accounting and Reporting Standard, following a transition away from ISO 14064.
This methodological approach has been retained for the 2025 reporting year and
will be applied consistently in future reporting periods to support transparency,
comparability, and alignment with internationally recognised best practice.
Of CDI’s total emissions of 95.12 tCO2e for the year, only 8.77% (8.34 tCO2e) were
direct emissions, while 91.23% were indirect emissions arising largely through
activities across the wider value chain.
This reflects the nature of CDI’s business as a land developer, where the
most material emissions sit within supply chain, transport and downstream
activities that are not directly controlled by the Company. While this limits our
ability to materially reduce indirect emissions in the short term, we recognise
the importance of using the levers available to us, including continuing to
improve data quality, engaging with suppliers and contractors, and considering

sustainability performance as part of tender and procurement processes.
However, we also recognise that meaningful progress on these emissions will
require broader change across the infrastructure and development sector,
where many of the largest emissions sources are shared industry challenges.
As a relatively small participant in the sector, CDI is open to contributing to wider
industry discussions and initiatives where this can support practical progress.
OUTLOOK
CDI recognises that sustainability expectations continue to evolve. In 2026,
the Company will continue to develop its approach to sustainability so that
it remains practical, relevant and aligned to CDI’s scale and activities, while
supporting the delivery of quality developments, responsible governance and
long-term value creation.

The Board oversees CDI’s risk management framework, with support from the
Audit & Risk Committee, while Management is responsible for its day-to day
implementation and reporting. CDI’s risk management processes are designed to
identify the material risks that could affect the Company’s strategy, operations,
financial performance and reputation, and to support appropriate mitigation
and oversight.
In 2025, the Board identified a review of the risk framework as a priority for
2026 and undertook a reassessment of CDI’s material risks, which are briefly
summarised below.
LAND AVAILABILITY
AND PIPELINE
CDI may be unable to secure suitable land to maintain its development
pipeline due to market conditions, competition, development constraints or
limited cash flow, which could limit future capacity and long term growth.
CDI monitors potential land acquisition opportunities and maintains strong
relationships in key geographies to ensure suitable sites are identified early.
CDI applies a detailed acquisition criteria and plans capital requirements in
advance, enabling it to act quickly when opportunities arise.
SALES
AND MARKET DEMAND
Weak economic or residential property market conditions may reduce
demand for sections, affecting sales volumes, pricing, revenue and
asset values.
CDI monitors economic conditions and residential market trends closely.
Where appropriate, development activity is staged to align sales releases
with stronger market demand, allowing CDI to maximise sales momentum
and pricing outcomes.
COMPLIANCE
A N D R EG U L ATO RY
Failure to meet statutory or regulatory obligations such as governance,
health and safety, planning or listing rule obligations could result in
regulatory action, reputational harm and adverse performance impacts.
CDI has strengthened its compliance capability through the appointment of
a dedicated legal resource to support the development of procedures for
monitoring governance and compliance obligations. External specialist advice
is used where required, ensuring emerging compliance risks are identified
and addressed promptly.
DEVELOPMENT
AND PROJECT DELIVERY
Weather, site conditions, contractor capacity, supply chain constraints or
cost fluctuations, utility delays, design changes, or consenting issues, may
delay projects or increase costs, affecting delivery timeframes, sales and
revenue.
CDI mitigates delivery risks through proactive project planning, early contractor
and council engagement, staged development sequencing, and regular
monitoring to identify and respond quickly to delays or cost pressures.
H E ALTH
AND SAFETY
Failure to identify, manage or control health and safety risks and to
discharge statutory duties could result in serious harm to individuals,
legal liability and reputational damage.
CDI is strengthening its health and safety capability through the establishment
of a CDI standalone health and safety system, which is tailored to CDI specific
activities and risk profile. For more information on CDI’s management of health
and safety risk, see page 18.
PEOPLE CAPABILITY
AND RETENTION
As a small, specialised team, CDI is exposed to key person risk and
may face challenges retaining or attracting capability in critical roles.
Institutional knowledge currently sits predominantly with the CEO.
CDI mitigates this risk through workforce planning for critical roles, competitive
remuneration, development opportunities, and the addition of new roles that
broaden institutional knowledge. Succession planning for key positions will be
further developed to support longterm capability.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE
AND LIQUIDITY
Lower revenue, cash flow or liquidity constraints, or reduced asset
valuations may impact profitability, limit growth, and restrict CDI’s
ability to fund initiatives or pursue opportunities.
CDI monitors cash flow and liquidity closely, maintains prudent funding settings,
and adjusts development pacing and capital allocation to support financial
stability and strategic flexibility.
RISK MANAGEMENT
CDL Investments New Zealand Limited | 17
POLICY
AND CONSENTING
Changes to zoning, consenting or government policy may introduce delays,
additional costs or consenting uncertainty, affecting project timing and
development plans.
CDI actively monitors regulatory changes and leverages external consultants
to provide expert advice and insight. CDI engages early with councils and
planning authorities, adapting project plans and sequencing as required to
minimise consenting uncertainty, cost impacts and delays.
Wairakei Road, Harewood, Christchurch
STAKEHOLDER
AND REPUTATION RISK
Failure to manage relationships with communities, authorities, contractors
and other stakeholders could affect project delivery, brand reputation and
social licence to operate.
CDI maintains proactive engagement with stakeholders and regulatory bodies,
ensures open and clear communication, and ongoing monitoring of stakeholder
issues and compliance obligations.
18 | CDL Investments New Zealand Limited
CDI is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment and
believes that everyone has the fundamental right to come to work, carry out
their duties safely, and return home free from injury or harm. Protecting our
people, contractors and stakeholders is a core organisational priority and an
essential component of responsible governance.
Historically, CDI operated within MCK’s health and safety framework.
During 2025, the Board and Management completed a review of CDI’s health
and safety practices, which identified an opportunity to tailor its health and
safety framework to its specific activities, risk profile, and responsibilities
as a property developer.
During the year, CDI engaged external health and safety expertise and
commenced portfolio-wide site audits to inform the design and implementation
of a new system. Key elements of this work are underway and will include:
• Tailored approach to hazard and risk identification.
• Targeted health and safety training and competency development
for key personnel.
• Clearer and more consistent health and safety reporting processes.
• Standardised approach to contractor pre qualification and ongoing
contractor safety performance evaluation.
Given the nature of CDI’s activities, our active development sites present
the Company’s highest health and safety risk. Contractors engaged on CDI
developments are required to provide health and safety documentation,
including details of their health and safety systems and site management plans,
as well as regular reporting of health and safety events to our development
managers. This allows CDI visibility over contractor capabilities to verify that
those working on CDI sites meet the Company’s expected safety standards.
These initiatives are designed to embed a strong safety culture across CDI
and ensure that health and safety risks are effectively identified, managed
and monitored.

MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
REPORTING ENTITY
CDL Investments New Zealand Limited (the “Company”) is a company domiciled in New Zealand, registered under the Companies Act 1993 and listed on the
New Zealand Stock Exchange. The Company is a FMC Reporting Entity in terms of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Financial Reporting Act 2013.
The financial statements of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025 comprises the Company and its subsidiary (together referred to as the “Group”).
The registered office is located at Level 7, 23 Customs Street East, Auckland, New Zealand.
The principal activities of the Group are the development and sale of residential land properties and rental income from the ownership of development properties
and investment properties comprising commercial warehousing and retail shops.
(a ) STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice (“NZ GAAP”). They comply with
New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (“NZ IFRS”) and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards, as appropriate
for Tier 1 profit-oriented entities. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”).
The financial statements were authorised for issuance on 24 February 2026.
(b) BASIS OF PREPARATION
The financial statements are presented in New Zealand Dollars ($), which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in
New Zealand dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand, unless otherwise indicated.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis and on a going concern basis except where IFRS requires fair value to be used.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with NZ IFRS requires management to make judgements, estimates and assumptions that affect the
application of company policies and reported amounts of assets and liabilities, income and expenses. Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed
on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised and in any future period affected.
In particular, information about significant areas of estimation uncertainty and critical judgements in applying accounting policies that have the most
significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements are described in Note 2 – Accounting Estimates and Judgements.
(c) BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
(i) Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its
involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The financial statements of subsidiaries are
included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control commences until the date on which control ceases.
Intragroup balances and any unrealised gains and losses or income and expenses arising from intragroup transactions, are eliminated in preparing
these consolidated financial statements.
(d) PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Items of property, plant and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The cost of purchased property, plant and equipment is the value
of the consideration given to acquire the assets and the value of other directly attributable costs, which have been incurred in bringing the assets to the
location and condition necessary for their intended service. Depreciation on assets is calculated using the straight-line method to allocate cost to their
residual values over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
• Buildings 50 years
• Building surfaces and finishes 30 years
• Building services 20 – 30 years
• Plant and equipment 3 – 10 years
No residual values are ascribed to building surfaces and finishes. Residual values ascribed to building core depend on the nature, location and tenure of each
property. Depreciable values of 2% are ascribed to building core.
For the year ended 31 December 2025
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
26 | CDL Investments New Zealand Limited
CDL INVESTMENTS NEW ZEALAND LIMITED
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES – CONTINUED
(e) REVENUE
Revenue represents amounts derived from land and property sales and is recognised when the customer obtains control of the property and is able to direct
and obtain the benefits from the property at a point in time. The customer gains control of the property when the Company receives full and final consideration
for the property and the Company transfers over the Certificate of Title.
The Group grants settlement terms of up to 12 months on certain sections as part of the agreement for sale and purchase for unconditional sales. In some
instances, the acquirers are permitted access to the residential sections for building activities prior to settlement. However, the acquirer does not obtain
substantially all of the remaining benefits of the asset until final settlement of the land and the title has passed.
Rental income from investment properties under operating leases is recognised over time on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease to the extent that
future rental increases are known with certainty. Lease incentives granted are recognised as an integral part of the total rental income.
(f) NEW STANDARDS AND INTERPRETATIONS NOT YET ADOPTED
A number of amendments to standards are effective for annual periods beginning after 1 January 2026 and earlier application is permitted. The Group has not
early adopted the amended standards in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The Group will be adopting the amended standards from 1 January 2027.
The Group is in the process of finalising the evaluation of impact from the following new and amended standards, including changes in the Presentation and
Disclosure in Financial Statements in line with NZ IFRS 18.
1. Amendments to NZ IFRS 9 and NZ IFRS 7 Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments.
2. Annual Improvements to NZ IFRS Accounting Standards – Volume 11.
3. NZ IFRS 18 Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements.
(g) NEW CURRENTLY EFFECTIVE STANDARDS
The Group adopted all amended standards that became effective during the prior reporting period, specifically FRS-44 New Zealand Additional Disclosures of
Fees for Audit Firms’ Services. However, these new standards did not have any impact on the financial position, performance and cash flows of the Group.
The Group has adopted the International Tax Reform – Pillar Two Model Rules – Amendments to NZ IAS 12 approved by the New Zealand External Reporting Board
from the issuance date of 10 August 2023. The amendments provide a temporary mandatory exception from deferred tax accounting and require new disclosures
in the annual financial statements in relation to the implementation of the Pillar Two Model Rules published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation
and Development. The Group has applied the exception with immediate effect. The mandatory exception applies retrospectively. The group has a presence in
jurisdictions that have enacted or substantively enacted legislation in relation to the Pillar Two model rules. The ultimate parent of the group also being captured
under the said rule in their country of operation. Refer to income tax note 6 for further information.

1. SEGMENT REPORTING
OPERATING SEGMENTS
The operating segments of the Group consists of property operations, comprising the development and sale of residential land sections and rental income
from investment properties.
The Group has determined that its chief operating decision maker is the Board of Directors on the basis that it is this group which determines the allocation
of resources to segments and assesses their performance.
An operating segment is a distinguishable component of the Group:
• that is engaged in business activities from which it earns revenues and incurs expenses,
• whose operating results are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions on resource allocation to the segment
and assess its performance, and
• for which discrete financial information is available.

2. ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGEMENTS
Estimates and assumptions that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial year are outlined below:
• The assessment of impairment indicators for investment properties (refer to note 9 for key assumptions and estimates used).
• Determining the net realisable value of development property to identify any impairment.
Management discussed with the Audit Committee the development, selection and disclosure of the Group’s critical accounting policies and estimates
and the application of these policies and estimates.
KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The Group is exposed to a risk of impairment to development properties should the carrying value exceed the net realisable value due to market fluctuations
in the value of development properties. There are no indicators of impairment as assessed by management. In addition, the Group has engaged an independent
valuer to corroborate the net realisable value base exceeding the carrying value of development properties and confirm the absence of impairment (see Note 8).
The valuer adopts the Sales Comparison Approach to determine rates per hectare/per square metre for block land holdings in addition to recent section sales
to derive the gross realisation values. The net realisable values are determined from gross realisation values after deducting appropriate selling costs.
For residential land under development or is due to commence development in the short term, the valuer adopts the Residual Subdivision Approach. This
approach considers the gross realisation values of the sections less costs associated with development including GST, sales commissions, legal fees, civil and
development costs including Council contributions, professional fees, and contingency allowances. In addition, holding costs are deducted for the estimated
timing of development and sell down periods.
In both valuation approaches, the valuer makes assumptions relating to section prices, sell down periods, consumer confidence, unemployment rates, interest
rates, and external economic factors. These assumptions are sensitive to economic factors such as net migration, Official Cash Rate set by the Reserve Bank,
inflation, residential market activity, and business confidence.
The Group is also exposed to a risk of impairment to investment properties should the carrying value exceed the recoverable amount due to market fluctuations
in the value of investment properties. However, there are no indicators of impairment. The recoverable amount determined by an independent registered valuer
exceeds the carrying value of investment properties (see Note 9). In determining the recoverable amount, the valuer adopted primarily the income capitalisation
approach with discounted cash flow and depreciated replacement cost approaches used to corroborate. The income capitalisation approach assessed market
rent for each asset is capitalised in perpetuity from the valuation date at an appropriate capitalisation rate. The adopted capitalisation rate reflects the nature,
location, and tenancy profile of the property together with current market investment criteria as evidenced by recent sales.
CLIMATE-RELATED DISCLOSURE
The Group continues to assess the impact of climate change on its business and its tangible assets. Climate change poses significant risks and challenges
for the land development industry (residential and commercial), as it affects the physical, operational, and financial aspects of land development. Extreme
weather events, such as floods, storms, heatwaves, and droughts, can damage existing infrastructure, disrupt the supply chain, reduce the ability to conduct
and complete works, and increase the insurance and development and acquisition costs. While property developers and landowners are increasingly cognisant
of the climate-related impacts on their properties, the investment community have yet to price in the climate-related impacts on asset values. This means that
the current market value of residential and commercial land may not reflect the potential losses or gains associated with their exposure to climate risks or their
adoption of sustainability measures, decarbonisation initiatives, and sound environmental stewardship. While valuers have made no explicit adjustments to
the recoverable amount of the selected properties in respect of climate change matters, it is anticipated that climate change may have a greater influence on
valuations in the future as investment markets place a greater emphasis on climate change and a property’s environmental resilience and credentials. Known
climate risks are reflected in the adopted capitalisation and discount rates.

Income tax for the year comprises current and deferred tax. Income tax is recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to items recognised
directly in equity or other comprehensive income, in which case it is recognised in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date, and any
adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the
amounts used for taxation purposes. The temporary differences relating to investments in subsidiaries are not provided for to the extent that they will probably
not reverse in the foreseeable future. The amount of deferred tax provided is based on the expected manner of realisation or settlement of the carrying amount
of assets and liabilities, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the balance date.
A deferred tax asset is recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the asset can be utilised.
Deferred tax assets are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
REMOVAL OF TAX DEPRECIATION ON COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL BUILDINGS
From the 2020/21 tax year, the Group has been depreciating its commercial and industrial buildings on a 2% diminishing value basis, following the reinstatement
of tax depreciation for buildings with a useful life of 50 years or more as part of the government’s COVID-19: Economic Response Package.
Effective from 1 April 2024, the tax depreciation rate reverted to 0%, impacting the tax value of buildings held from the 2024/25 tax year onwards. The Group
recognises deferred tax on temporary differences at the tax rates expected to apply when these differences reverse, using the tax rates enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date. The change in tax legislation effective from 1 April 2024 eliminates the tax base of commercial and industrial buildings, thereby
creating a temporary difference that leads to a deferred tax liability. This liability is recognised unless the initial recognition exemption (IRE) under NZ IAS 12
applies, which precludes the recognition of deferred tax on initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the
time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit and is a non-cash item.

6. INCOME TAX EXPENSE – CONTINUED
DEFERRED TAX ON BUILDINGS
The impact of the removal of tax depreciation on commercial and industrial buildings, which reduced the tax base to nil creating a significant taxable temporary
difference for the investment properties, irrespective of their date of acquisition. The recognition of this temporary difference as a deferred tax liability depends
on whether the buildings were acquired through business combination and whether the initial recognition exception (IRE) in NZ IAS 12 was previously applied.
The change in tax legislation effective from 1 April 2024 eliminates the tax base for these assets, thereby creating a temporary difference that leads to a deferred
tax liability (DTL). As part of recognising the DTL, a one-off tax expense of $3.9m was recognised within the year ended 31 December 2024.
PILLAR 2
The ultimate parent of the Group operates in multiple jurisdictions, some of which have enacted or substantively enacted tax legislation to implement the Pillar
Two Model Rules from a date commencing on or after 1 January 2024. As the Pillar Two Model Rules are not effective in New Zealand, for the current financial
year, there is no current tax impact in the Group’s financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025. The Group has applied a temporary mandatory
exception from deferred tax accounting in respect of the Pillar Two Model Rules and will account for any top-up tax liabilities arising from the application of the
rules as a current tax when it is incurred. Under the Pillar Two Model Rules, the Group will be required to pay a top-up tax if the effective tax rate per jurisdiction
(calculated using the prescribed approach) is below the 15% minimum rate.
The group continues to monitor and evaluate the domestic implementation of the Pillar Two rules in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The group’s potential
exposure to Pillar Two taxes, based on legislation that is enacted or substantively enacted, is not expected to be material.

DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY275 , 474251,445
Development property is carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition, development, and holding costs such as
interest. Interest and other holding costs incurred after completion of development are expensed as incurred. All holding costs are written off through profit or
loss in the year incurred with the exception of interest holding costs which are capitalised during the period when active development is taking place. No interest
(2024: nil) has been capitalised during the year.
The Group’s inventory of development property is reviewed at each balance date to ensure its carrying amount is recorded at the lower of its cost and net
realisable value. The net realisable value of the development property is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of
completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The determination of net realisable value of inventory involves estimates taking into consideration prevailing
market conditions, current prices and expected date of commencement and completion of the project, the estimated future selling price, cost to complete
projects and selling costs. An impairment loss is recognised in the income statement to the extent that the carrying value of development property exceeds its
estimated net realisable value. Across the development portfolio there were no indicators of impairment. The annual process of independent valuations being
carried out by Extensor Advisory Limited corroborates the Group’s development property balances carried. The management team evaluate the assessment of
impairment indicators and confirm the recorded development property balance is lower than the net realisable value.

Investment properties are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation on the investment properties is
computed by asset classes using the policy disclosed in Note (d). Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the investment
properties. Costs of self-constructed investment properties include costs of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the
investment properties to a working condition for their intended use and capitalised borrowing costs. Gains and losses on disposal of investment properties
(calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amounts of the investment properties) are recognised in the profit and loss.
Investment properties consist of commercial warehousing at Wiri in Auckland, retail shops at Prestons Park in Christchurch, and retail shops at Stonebrook in
Rolleston which are fully operational. Investment properties are properties held either to earn rental income or capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale
in the ordinary course of business, use in the production or supply of goods and services, or for administrative purposes.
IMPAIRMENT
During the year, management performed an assessment of indicators of impairment which includes annual reviews of the carrying amounts of investment
properties. No indicators of impairment were identified.
The fair value of investment properties held at 31 December 2025 was determined by an independent registered valuer, DM Koomen SPINZ of Extensor Advisory
Limited as $69.9 million (2024: $65.1 million). The fair value measurement was categorised as Level 3 (highest of the fair value hierarchy) based on the inputs
to the valuation methodology used i.e. primarily the income capitalisation approach with discounted cash flow and depreciated replacement cost approaches
used to corroborate.

Average market capitalisation rates appropriate to the properties range from 5.00% to 6.88% (2024: 4.50% to 7.25%). Average market rent per square metre
rates appropriate to the properties range from $275 to $476 (2024: $263 to $450). There is no impairment expense recognised in the period (2024: no impairment).
OPERATING LEASES
The Group leases out its investment property. The Group has classified these leases as operating leases, because they do not transfer substantially all of the
risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the assets.
Rental income recognised by the Group during 2025 was $3.1 million (2024: $2.7 million).

Trade and other receivables are stated at their cost less impairment losses. The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses
prescribed by NZ IFRS 9, which permits the use of the lifetime expected credit loss provision for all trade receivables. The allowance for doubtful debts on trade
receivables are either individually or collective assessed based on number of days overdue. The Group takes into account the historical loss experience and
incorporates forward looking information and relevant macroeconomic factors. Based on this view, none of the trade and other receivables are impaired.

14. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Group only holds non-derivative financial instruments which comprise trade and other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, short term deposits,
and trade and other payables.
Non-derivative financial instruments are typically recognised at fair value. After an initial recognition, non-derivative financial instruments deemed financial
assets are characterised at amortised cost; FVOCI-debt investment; FVOCI-equity investment; or FVTPL. Non-derivative financial instruments deemed financial
liabilities are characterised amortised cost or FVTPL.
A financial asset is measured at amortised cost if it meets both of the following conditions and not designated at FVTPL:
• It is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows: and
• Its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets are derecognised if the Group’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire or if the Group transfer the financial asset
to another party without retaining control or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset.
Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Group’s obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

CREDIT RISK
Management has a credit policy in place and the exposure to credit risk is monitored on an ongoing basis. Credit evaluations are performed on all customers
requiring credit over a certain amount. The Group does not require collateral in respect of financial assets. Exposure to credit and interest rate risks arises
in the normal course of the Group’s business.
The key factor in managing risk is that the Certificate of Title is only transferred to the purchaser when all cash is received in full upon settlement.
The Group’s exposure to credit risk is mainly influenced by its customer base. As such it is concentrated to the default risk of its industry. However, geographically
there is no credit risk concentration as the Company spreads the risk by operating in three regions in the North Island and one region in the South Island.
Cash, cash equivalents, and term deposits are allowed only in liquid securities and only with counterparties (minimum rating of Moody’s Aa3) that have a
credit rating equal to or better than the Group. Given their high credit ratings, management does not expect any counterparty to fail to meet its obligations.
At the balance date there were no significant concentrations of credit risk. The maximum exposure to credit risk is represented by the carrying amount of
each financial asset.
INTEREST RATE RISK
The Group has no debt (2024: nil) and is only exposed to movements in interest rates on short-term investments which is explained in the sensitivity analysis.
Interest income is earned on the cash and cash equivalent balance and the short-term deposits balance.

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS
The Group manages interest rate risk by maximising its interest income through forecasting its cash requirements and cash inflows. Over the longer-term,
however, permanent changes in interest rates will have an impact on profit.
An increase of one percentage point in interest rates would have increased the Group’s profit before income tax by $118,640 (2024: $473,000) in the current
period. Conversely, a decrease of one percentage point in interest rates would have decreased the Group’s profit before income tax by $118,640 (2024: $473,000)
in the current period.

the Group generates sufficient cash flows from its operating activities to meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities. It is the Group’s policy to provide
credit and liquidity enhancement only to wholly owned subsidiaries.

ESTIMATION OF FAIR VALUES
The following summarises the major methods and assumptions used in estimating the fair values of financial instruments reflected in the above tables.
(a) Cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and related party receivables. The carrying amount for these balances approximate their fair value
because of the short maturities of these items.
CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group’s capital includes share capital and retained earnings.
The Group’s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor and market confidence and to sustain future development of the
business. The impact of the level of capital on shareholders’ return is also recognised and the Group recognises the need to maintain a balance between the
higher returns that might be possible with greater gearing and the advantages and security afforded by a sound capital position.
The Group is not subject to any external imposed capital requirements. The allocation of capital is, to a large extent, driven by optimisation of the return
achieved on the capital allocated. The Group’s policies in respect of capital management and allocation are reviewed regularly by the Board of Directors.
There have been no material changes in the Group’s management of capital during the period.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of CDL Investments New Zealand Limited
Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
financial statements which comprise:
- the consolidated statement of financial
position as at 31 December 2025;
- the consolidated statements of
comprehensive income, changes in equity
and cash flows for the year then ended;
and
- notes, including material accounting policy
information and other explanatory
information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial
statements of CDL Investments New Zealand Limited (the
Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) on pages 1 to
20 present fairly in all material respects:
- the Group’s financial position as at 31 December
2025 and its financial performance and cash flows
for the year ended on that date;
- In accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ
IFRS) issued by the New Zealand Accounting
Standards Board and the International Financial
Reporting Standards issued by the International
Accounting Standards Board.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)). We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of CDL Investments New Zealand Limited in accordance with Professional and Ethical
Standard 1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence
Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the
International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants
(including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), as applicable to audits of financial statements
of public interest entities. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with Professional
and Ethical Standards 1 and the IESBA Code.
Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the
consolidated financial statements section of our report.
Our firm has provided other services to the Group in relation to tax compliance and tax advisory services, as well
as limited assurance work on climate related disclosure. Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees
of our firm may also deal with the Group on normal terms within the ordinary course of trading activities of the
business of the Group. These matters have not impaired our independence as auditor of the Group. The firm has
no other relationship with, or interest in, the Group.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Materiality helped us to determine the
nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually
and on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The materiality for the consolidated financial statements
as a whole was set at $1.3m determined with reference to a benchmark of the Group’s profit before tax. We
chose the benchmark because, in our view, this is a key measure of the Group’s performance.
Company) and its subsidiaries (the Group) on pages 20
to 41 present fairly in all material respects:

Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of
the consolidated financial statements in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key audit
procedures to address those matters in order that the shareholders as a body may better understand the process
by which we arrived at our audit opinion.
Our procedures were undertaken in the context of and solely for the purpose of our audit opinion on the
consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not express discrete opinions on separate elements of
the consolidated financial statements.
The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
Capitalisation and allocation of development costs
Refer to Note 8 to the consolidated
financial statements.
The group’s development property
comprises land and development costs
incurred to develop land into
subdivisions and individual properties
for sale. The development property
portfolio represents 83% of total assets
on the consolidated Statement of
Financial Position.
The capitalisation and allocation of
development costs is a key audit
matter as determining whether to
capitalise or expense costs relating to
the development of the land is
subjective and depends on whether
the costs are recoverable as costs of
conversion. In addition, there is
significant judgement in determining
whether obligations exist for future
costs and how to allocate capitalised
development costs to individual
properties or stages.
The key judgements used in this
determination are:
- Whether costs are eligible for
capitalisation under the
relevant accounting standards
- The allocation of capitalised
costs to the individual
projects, stages and land lots
and the associated
recognition of cost of sales
- Whether a capitalised cost
and the associated liability for
future obligations should be
recorded under the relevant
accounting standard.
Our audit procedures included:
- Evaluating the Group’s accounting policy for capitalisation of
development costs against NZ IAS 2;
- Testing the design and implementation, as well as operating
effectiveness of internal review of allocation of costs to
projects or stages;
- Testing samples of capitalised development costs and
vouched to supporting documents. For each selected sample,
we:
— Considered the nature of the costs capitalised and
evaluated whether they are eligible for capitalisation
under NZ IAS 2;
— Assessed the appropriateness of the allocation of cost to
the individual project and stages;
— Compared the amount capitalised against amounts per
supporting documents;
- Inspecting Sales and Purchase Agreements, settlement
statements and cash payments for land acquisitions during
the reporting period. We further assessed the accounting
treatment for unsettled land acquisitions for which the Group
has paid a deposit prior to the year-end;
- Performing analytical procedures to assess appropriateness
of the margins across periods of sale;
- Performing a retrospective review of the forecast costs and
cost of sales to assess management’s ability to forecast
future costs accurately based on readily available information;
- Evaluating the reasonableness of the Group’s judgement to
record liabilities for future obligations and that these have
been appropriately measured and recorded in accordance
with the applicable accounting standards;
- Assessing the accuracy and completeness of disclosures
made in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group
against results of our testing and against the requirements of
the accounting standards.
Our testing did not identify any material exceptions related to the
capitalisation of development costs, the allocation of those costs to
individual project stages and the recognition of future development
cost obligations.

— to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in
accordance with ISAs NZ will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they
could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the
consolidated financial statements.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT – CONTINUED
PRINCIPLE 3 – BOARD COMMITTEES
PRINCIPLE 4 – REPORTING AND DISCLOSURES
3.1In 2025, the Audit Committee was renamed the Audit & Risk Committee to better reflect the scope of its responsibilities.
See page 11 for information regarding CDI’s Audit & Risk Committee.
The Committee comprises of, and comprised of in 2025:
• Three non-executive Directors.
• At least two members who are Independent Directors.
• At least one member who has adequate accounting or financial background.
• A chair, Ms Elrick, who is an Independent Director and is not the Chair of the Board.
The Committee operates under the Audit & Risk Committee Charter which includes (but is not limited to) the following responsibilities
of the Committee:
• ensuring processes are in place and monitoring those processes so that the board is properly and regularly informed
and updated on corporate financial matters;
• recommending the appointment and removal of the independent auditor;
• meeting regularly to monitor and review the independent and internal auditing practices;
• having direct communication with and unrestricted access to the independent auditor and any internal auditors or accountants;
• reviewing the financial reports and advising all Directors whether they comply with the appropriate laws and regulations; and
• ensuring that the Key Audit Partner is change at least every five years.
The Audit & Risk Committee Charter was updated in February 2026 and is available on CDI’s website under the “Investor Relations” tab.
3.2See page 11 for information regarding employee attendance at Committee meetings.
3.3Given CDI’s small Workforce, the Board has determined that it is practical and appropriate for remuneration matters to be considered by the full
Board rather than by a separate remuneration committee. All remuneration matters are dealt with in accordance with the Remuneration Policy.
Management attends Board meetings, including those where remuneration is discussed, only at the invitation of the Board.
3.4CDI does not have a nomination committee and nomination matters are considered by the whole Board in line with the Nominations Policy.
3.5CDI does not have any other standing Board Committees other than the Audit & Risk Committee.
3.6In February 2024, CDI adopted written Takeover Protocols that set out the procedure to be followed if there is a takeover offer for the Company.
4.1CDI has a Continuous Disclosure Policy that governs how CDI complies with its continuous disclosure obligations, including explaining the role
of Directors, Management and our Workforce in relation to:
• complying with CDI’s continuous disclosure obligations;
• safeguarding the confidentiality of corporate information to avoid premature disclosure;
• external communications such as analyst briefings and responses to investor queries; and
• responding to or avoiding the emergence of a false market in the issuer’s securities.
The Continuous Disclosure Policy was updated in February 2026 and is available on CDI’s website under the “Investor Relations” tab.
4.2CDI publishes its key governance documents (including but not limited to its Code of Ethics; Financial Products Dealing Policy; Board Charter;
Audit & Risk Committee Charter; Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy; Remuneration Policy and Continuous Disclosure Policy) on its website
under the “Investor Relations” tab.
4.3CDI is committed to financial reporting that is balanced, clear and objective. Its half year and audited full year financial statements are prepared
in accordance with applicable standards and legislation, using consistent accounting policies.
The Board ensures the statements present a true and fair view of CDI’s financial position and performance. Before approval, the Board receives
assurances from the CEO and VP Finance that financial records are properly maintained, the statements comply with relevant standards, and they
are supported by internal controls.
4.4CDI provides non-financial disclosure annually on matters relevant to its operations and governance. This information is intended to be clear
and informative, and aligned with CDI’s overall business direction.
CDI does not currently have a formal ESG reporting framework, and its approach to non-financial reporting continues to develop as the
business evolves.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE STATEMENT
PRINCIPLE 5 – REMUNERATION
5.1CDI’s Remuneration Policy covers Director and Executive remuneration.
CDI does not have a remuneration committee; Director remuneration is set by the Board in accordance with Principle 5 of the NZX Governance
Code and the Remuneration Policy.
Director fees reflect the responsibilities of Directors, including additional duties for the Chair and the Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee
To preserve director independence, CDI does not offer performance based remuneration or retirement benefits.
Director fees were last reviewed in 2024. The current annual base fee is $35,000 per Director, with the Board Chair receiving $49,000 per annum,
and the Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee receiving an additional $7,000 per annum.
Fees paid to Directors in 2025 are disclosed in CDI’s Statutory Disclosures, on page 48.
The Remuneration Policy was updated in February 2026 and is available on CDI’s website under the “Investor Relations” tab.
5.2CDI’s Remuneration Policy covers Director and Executive remuneration.
CDI’s Remuneration Policy ensures remuneration for the CEO and other executives is fair, reasonable, transparent and based on merit.
Remuneration reflects the scale and complexity of each role, along with an individual’s skills, experience, performance and market value.
CDI maintains a non discriminatory approach to all remuneration decisions.
Executive remuneration comprises fixed remuneration, which includes base salary and KiwiSaver contributions, and may include other benefits
such as health insurance, allowances and other entitlements. Variable remuneration may also be offered through a Short Term Incentive (STI)
programme, with eligibility and performance objectives set out in individual employment agreements. STI outcomes are based on the achievement
of financial and non financial performance targets. Total remuneration represents both fixed and variable components and is set at levels
appropriate to market benchmarks and the responsibilities of each role.
An annual remuneration review is undertaken by the Board for the CEO, and by the CEO (with finance support) for executives, ensuring
remuneration remains appropriate, competitive and aligned with performance.
The Remuneration Policy was updated in February 2026 and is available on CDI’s website under the “Investor Relations” tab.
