Key Terms of the Offer
IssuerAoFrio Limited (AoFrio or the Company)
The Offer
A pro rata, renounceable rights offer to Eligible Shareholders, of one New Share
for every seven Ordinary Shares held by Eligible Shareholders at 5.00 pm on the
Record Date with fractional Rights being rounded down to the nearest share.
Eligible Shareholders may take up some or all or none of their Rights. Alternative-
ly, Eligible Shareholders may sell some or all their rights on the NZX Main Board
between 3 June 2026 and 12 June 2026, if there is a buyer.
Your Rights may have value. If you do nothing, your rights will lapse and you will
not be able to subscribe for any New Shares and may not realise any value for
your rights. The Offer is a pro rata offer. If you take up all your Rights your per-
centage holding in AoFrio will not reduce. However, if you do not take up all your
Rights, your percentage holding in AoFrio will reduce following completion of the
Offer.
Dilution
If you are either an Ineligible Shareholder or you are an Eligible Shareholder and
you take up none of your Rights, your shareholding in AoFrio will be diluted by
approximately 23.91% as a result of the Offer (assuming all of the New Shares are
issued) and the Placement.
Eligibility
A Shareholder who, as at 5.00pm on the Record Date:
▪had a registered address in New Zealand; or
▪is otherwise a person to whom AoFrio considers it is not unduly onerous for an
offer of the New Shares to be made because of the legal requirements of the
applicable jurisdiction.

class quoted on the NZX Main Board on issue immediately prior to the Offer.

Rights Issue
On behalf of the directors of AoFrio, the Company has today announced it
intends to raise approximately NZ$4.994 million of new equity capital via a 1
for 7 pro-rata entitlement offer at $0.07 price per share.
The Board welcomes your participation in this Offer and thanks you for your
continued support.
Background
In December 2025, AoFrio presented two growth strategy options to investors.
The first option was based on using free cash flow generated from ongoing
business to support steady growth. The second, and preferred option,
outlined an accelerated growth trajectory and would require additional capital
investment.
The aspirational target is for revenue to more than triple to reach $300 million
by FY2030, achieved through an expansion of AoFrio’s smart refrigeration
solutions into new territories and through the diversification of the business into
adjacent markets. Under this scenario, EBITDA is targeted to reach $50 million
in FY30.
Since December 2025, the Board and Management have been exploring
financing options to support the second option.
On 19 May 2026, AoFrio announced the placement of 65,134,806 ordinary
shares to Wairahi Investments Limited, a long-time substantial product holder
in the Company, raising $4.559 million. Wairahi Investments Limited now
holds 19.19% of AoFrio’s ordinary shares and has been a long-term supporter
of AoFrio. Wairahi’s new investment allows AoFrio to commence the major
initiatives towards the future we discussed on our investor day.
The Board committed to shareholders, that in the event of a placement, current
shareholders would be provided with the opportunity to purchase additional
AoFrio ordinary shares at the placement price. This pro-rata offer delivers on
that commitment.

AoFrio Ltd
The Board is committed to continuing operating the
business in the same prudent way the business has
post COVID. Growth investments will continue to be
run through a robust review program, and we will be
transparent in our progress with our quarterly trading
updates.
We are grateful for shareholder support, and our
customers can look forward to an exciting few years of
further product development and innovation spanning a
broader range of commercial opportunities.
Outlook for 2026
AoFrio released its trading update for the three months
ended 31 March 2026 (1Q26) on 13 May 2026. The
Company reported strong execution of its strategy:
▪In the cold drink equipment market, the expected
launch in 2Q26 of AoFrio’s cellular connected
controller and iQ SaaS platform.
▪In food retail, the IQ Food Retail solution is now
available commercially and in April 2026, the
Company secured an order from a leading South
American supermarket business following a proof-
of-concept trial, an important validation that the
Company has a solution customers will pay for.
In its 1Q26 update, the Company stated that given
the impacts of trade and currency volatility, providing
a guidance range is challenging. However, AoFrio is
expecting an improvement in revenue and EBITDA in
2026 over 2025, and AOF is maintaining this position.
The anticipated improvement is expected to be driven by
the commercial launch of the SCS800 and iQ platform in
2Q26, with first revenues delivered around mid-year.

Details of the Offer
The Offer
The Offer is a pro rata renounceable rights offer of New
Shares by AoFrio Limited.
Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for one
New Share for every seven Ordinary Shares held at 5.00
pm on the Record Date. The maximum number of New
Shares being offered is 71,338,121 (subject to rounding).
The Offer opens at 2.00pm on 5 June 2026 and closes
at 5.00pm on 18 June 2026. The timetable for the Offer
is set out in the section of this Offer Document entitled
“Important Dates”.
Application Price
The issue price is $0.07 per New Share (the Issue
Price) is payable in cash and in full on application.
You are not required to pay for your Rights, only for the
New Shares which will be issued to you if you choose to
take up all or some of your Rights (and any Additional
New Shares under the Oversubscription Facility).
New Shares
The New Shares will be fully paid, and of the same
class as, and will rank equally with, the existing Ordinary
Shares that are listed on the NZX Main Board under the
code “AOF”. It is a term of the Offer that AoFrio will take
any necessary steps to ensure that the New Shares are,
immediately after their issue, quoted on the NZX Main
Board.
Your Rights
If you are an Eligible Shareholder, your entitlement
to Rights under the Offer can be found on the Offer
website. Fractional Rights, if any, have been rounded
down.
Application has been made for permission to quote the
Rights on the NZX Main Board and all NZX requirements
have been duly complied with. However, NZX accepts
no responsibility for any statement in this Offer
Document.
9
Rights Issue
Eligible Shareholders may sell all or some of their Rights
on the NZX Main Board between 3 June 2026 and 12
June 2026.
Rights can be traded on the NZX Main Board by
instructing an NZX Firm. The Authorisation Code (FIN)
and Common Shareholder Number (CSN) will be
required to be given to the NZX Firm being instructed
to effect the trade. Brokerage fees may be payable in
respect of that trade. Financial and tax advice should be
sought before effecting any trade of Rights.
There is no guarantee there will be buyers for the Rights
on NZX Main Board, and Eligible Shareholders may,
accordingly, be unable to sell some or all of their Rights.
The Oversubscription Facility may depress the demand
for Rights, even though an allocation of Additional New
Shares is not guaranteed.
Rights purchased on the NZX Main Board or otherwise
may only be exercised by persons who are located in
New Zealand and are ordinarily resident in New Zealand.
It is the responsibility of purchasers of Rights (and any
broker, nominee or custodian acting on their behalf) to
inform themselves of that eligibility criteria for exercise.
Rights purchased by persons who do not meet that
eligibility criteria will lapse and holders will receive no
value for them.
If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you can choose to
accept your Rights in whole or in part. If you accept
your Rights in full, you may also apply for Additional New
Shares under the Oversubscription Facility. Applications
once made cannot be withdrawn.
Your Rights may have value. If you do nothing, your
Rights will lapse, and you will not be able to subscribe for
any New Shares and may not realise any value for your
Rights.
Oversubscription Facility
If you are an Eligible Shareholder and take up all
your Rights, you may apply for an additional number
of New Shares in excess of your Rights (Additional
New Shares) through the Oversubscription Facility at
the same Issue Price of $0.07 each. You may apply
for any number of Additional New Shares, but there is
no guarantee that you will be allocated any or all the
Additional New Shares for which you have applied and
submitted payment for.
The acquisition of renounced Rights does not entitle
the holder to apply for Additional New Shares under the
Oversubscription Facility.
The number of New Shares available under the
Oversubscription Facility will be equal to the number
of New Shares attributable to Rights that are not taken
up by Eligible Shareholders by the Closing Date,
together with those attributable to the Rights of Ineligible
Shareholders which have not been sold by the nominee
(ignoring any applications for Additional New Shares)
(known as the Shortfall).
If the application for Additional New Shares exceeds the
Shortfall, each applicant for Additional New Shares will be
allocated the lesser of:
(i) the number of Additional New Shares they
applied for; and
(ii) the Shortfall, multiplied by the proportion that the
number of Ordinary Shares they hold as at the Record
Date bears to the number of Ordinary Shares held as
at the Record Date by all applicants for Additional New
Shares.
Any remaining Shortfall following the above allocations
will be allocated among the remaining unsatisfied
applicants on the same basis, until the entire Shortfall has
been allocated.
Notwithstanding the above, the Board retains the
absolute right to determine the allocation of Additional
New Shares, and it may decline, scale or otherwise
allocate individual applications for Additional New Shares
on a differential basis.
10
AoFrio Ltd
There is no assurance that any applicant for Additional
New Shares will be allocated any Additional New Shares
or the number of Additional New Shares for which it has
applied.
If you are a beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares, a
custodian holds Ordinary Shares on your behalf, and you
have instructed the custodian to apply for Additional New
Shares on your behalf, you will be allocated a number of
Additional New Shares calculated in accordance with the
above, on the basis that you and each other beneficial
owner who applies for Additional New Shares is treated
as a separate Shareholder.
If you hold Ordinary Shares as a custodian, please
provide your beneficial owner schedule to Computershare
in line with the instructions Computershare has
requested.
These allocations are subject, in each case, to our right to
limit the allotment of Additional New Shares to any person
when that allotment may result, or be likely to result,
in that person breaching the Takeovers Code or when
Listing Rule 5.2.1 would be triggered by such allotment.
Renounceable Offer
The Offer is renounceable, which means that if you do
not wish to subscribe for some or all your Rights, you
may sell or otherwise transfer your entitlement to all or
any part of your Rights. To do so, you should complete
the steps set out on the Offer website.
As described further under the heading “Your Rights”, the
Rights will be quoted on the NZX Main Board.
As required by the Listing Rules, if both a renunciation
and an acceptance are received in relation to the
same Rights, the renunciation will take priority over the
acceptance.
The purchaser of your renounced Rights is not thereby
entitled to apply for Additional New Shares under the
Oversubscription Facility.
Minimum Amount to be raised
There is no minimum amount that must be raised for the
Offer to proceed.
Effect of the Offer
The Offer is not expected to have a material impact on
the control of AoFrio.
Opening and closing Dates
The Offer will open for acceptances from 2.00p.m. on
5 June 2026 and close at 5.00p.m. on 18 June 2026,
subject to AoFrio not varying the timetable in accordance
with the Listing Rules.
Application
Instructions on how to apply for New Shares under
the Offer are set out on pages 13 and 14 of this Offer
Document entitled ‘Actions to be taken by you’.
A properly completed application online at
www.shareoffer.co.nz/aofrio, together with payment by
direct credit of the Issue Price of $0.07 per New Share
you are taking up, must be received by Computershare
Investor Services Limited no later than 5:00pm on the
Closing Date.
We reserve the right to accept late applications but are
not obliged to do so. We further reserve the right to
accept or reject (at our discretion) any online application
and to correct any errors or omissions on any online
application.
Application Monies and Refunds
Application Monies received will be held in a trust account
until the corresponding New Shares are allotted. We
will establish the trust account solely for the purpose of
depositing Application Monies. Interest earned on the
Application Monies will be for our benefit, will remain our
property, and will be retained by us whether or not the
issue and allotment of New Shares takes place.
We reserve the right to withdraw the Offer and/or the
issue of New Shares at any time prior to allotment,
11
Rights Issue
in which case all Application Monies will be refunded
(without interest) as soon as practicable and, in any
event, within five business days.
If your application is not accepted for any reason, or
is accepted in part only (including with respect to the
Oversubscription Facility), you will receive a refund of
the balancing payment (without interest), by direct credit
as soon as practicable and, in any event, within five
business days after the date of allotment of the New
Shares.
Allotment
The New Shares will be allotted, and Holding Statements
will be issued and mailed as soon as practicable after the
Offer closes. Holding Statements will be sent no later
than five business days after the Closing Date.
You should ascertain your allocation under the Offer
before attempting to sell your New Shares. You can
do so by contacting the Registrar at the address set
out in the Directory. If you sell New Shares prior to
receiving a Holding Statement you do so at your own
risk. AoFrio, its directors, officers, employees, agents
and advisers do not accept any liability, or responsibility
should you attempt to sell or otherwise deal with New
Shares before you receive the Holding Statement
showing the number of New Shares allotted to you.
Eligibility
The Offer for New Shares is only open to Shareholders
with a registered address in New Zealand at 5:00 pm
on the Record Date (4 June 2026) and to any other
Shareholders to whom we consider it is not unduly
onerous to make the Offer under the legal requirements
of their jurisdiction. In accordance with Listing Rule
4.4.1(e), AoFrio has determined that it would be unduly
onerous to satisfy itself that the Offer complied with the
legal requirements of jurisdictions outside New Zealand
(other than overseas employees of AoFrio subject
to the legal requirements of their jurisdictions). This
decision was made having regard to the small number of
shareholders in such overseas jurisdictions and the costs
of complying with overseas legal requirements.
No person resident outside New Zealand who receives
a copy of this Offer Document may treat it as an offer
or invitation to subscribe for New Shares (except where
advised otherwise by us). Those Shareholders outside
New Zealand who wish to take up New Shares should
contact us.
We reserve the right to determine whether you or any
other Shareholder are eligible to participate in the Offer,
and to reject any application that we consider has been
made by a person who is not an Eligible Shareholder.
We and our Directors, officers, employees, agents and
advisers accept no liability whatsoever for determining
whether a person is an Eligible Shareholder.
In accordance with the proviso to Listing Rule 4.4.1(e),
if you are an Ineligible Shareholder, the Rights that you
would otherwise receive will be issued to a nominee who
will endeavour to sell those Rights on your behalf and
account to you for the proceeds of sale (if any and less
any transaction costs) on a pro rata basis. There may be
no market for the Rights, and it may be difficult for that
nominee to find a purchaser for any Rights.
Persons who are not resident in New Zealand and who
hold interests in New Shares through a New Zealand
resident nominee should not allow their nominee to
accept the Offer if to do so would cause the Offer to
be contrary to the laws of their country of residence.
Such persons can request AoFrio to sell their Rights by
contacting us via the Company Secretary:
Mr Howard Milliner

Shares through a New Zealand resident nominee will be
deemed to represent and warrant to us that the Offer can
be lawfully made to them and their nominee under all
relevant laws pursuant to this Offer Document.

Rights Issue
Actions to be taken by you
If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you may take the
following action in respect of your Rights and entitlement
to New Shares under the Offer:
• take up all or some of your Rights; or
• take up all your Rights and apply for Additional New
Shares through the Oversubscription Facility; or
• take up some of your Rights and endeavour to sell
all or some of the balance of your Rights on the NZX
Main Board; or
• endeavour to sell all or some your Rights on the NZX
Main Board; or
• do nothing with all or some of your Rights, in which
event such Rights for which no action has been taken
will lapse.
If the Offer closes, and you do nothing, you will be
deemed to have elected not to take up your Rights,
and your shareholding will be diluted accordingly. If
you apply to take up some but not all your Rights,
you will be deemed to have not taken up your
Rights to the balance of the New Shares, and your
shareholding will be diluted accordingly.
To apply for New Shares
If you wish to participate in the Offer, you may apply
online at www.shareoffer.co.nz/aofrio. If you are a
Custodian, you must apply in line with the instructions
provided you by Computershare.
No application forms or copies of this Offer Document will
be sent to Shareholders.
Payment of Application Monies
All applications should be submitted via the Offer website
and payment must be made by direct credit. Applicants
paying by direct credit or international payment must
submit their payment instruction to their bank to make
payment by no later than 5:00pm on the Closing Date.
General
For applications to be valid they must be properly
completed, together with the associated Application
Monies, and be received by the Registrar no later
than 5:00pm New Zealand time on 18 June 2026.
We reserve the right to accept late applications but are
not obliged to do so.
Applications for the issue of New Shares (including,
if relevant, Additional New Shares under the
Oversubscription Facility) cannot be revoked or
withdrawn.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Offer
Document, an application submitted by you by using the
Offer website will constitute an irrevocable offer by you
to subscribe for and acquire the number of New Shares
(including, if relevant, Additional New Shares under
the Oversubscription Facility) which you have specified
in your application (or such lesser number as we may
determine) on the terms and conditions set out in this
Offer Document. By applying for New Shares, you agree
to be bound by these terms and conditions and our
constitution.
Applications for New Shares must be completed in full
and may be rejected if any details are not entered. If
the Application Monies accompanying your application
for New Shares are incorrect, your application for New
Shares may still be treated as valid. You will not under
any circumstances be treated as having offered to
purchase a greater number of New Shares than the
number for which payment is made.
If we receive, on or before 5:00pm on the Closing Date,
both an acceptance and a renunciation (sale or transfer)
by you in respect of the same Rights, the renunciation
(sale or transfer) will take priority to the acceptance.

Rights Issue
If Application Monies are paid by direct credit or
international payment that is not processed by, the
Closing Date, that application may be rejected, or an
allotment made to you may be cancelled. Any Rights in
respect of a rejected application or cancelled amount will
be made available to Eligible Shareholders participating
in the Oversubscription Facility.
Our decision on the number of New Shares (including, if
relevant, Additional New Shares) to be allotted to you and
as to whether to reject an online application, or to treat it
as valid (and then how to construe, amend or complete
the online application), will be final. We reserve the right
to reject any application we believe comes from a person
who does not meet the eligibility criteria for the Offer.
If you need any assistance, you should contact an
NZX Primary Market Participant, lawyer, accountant
or other professional adviser.
