NZX/ASX release

2 June 2026


Proposed merger of Heartland Bank and TSB will create a

New Zealand challenger bank of scale with a regional focus


Heartland Group Holdings Limited (Heartland) (NZX/ASX: HGH) is pleased to announce that it has signed a

conditional merger implementation agreement (MIA) with Toi Foundation and Toi Foundation Holdings

Limited (together, Toi Foundation) to merge Heartland Bank Limited (Heartland Bank) and TSB Bank Limited

(TSB).

Under the proposed transaction, Heartland will acquire from Toi Foundation all TSB shares on issue for an

aggregate consideration of $620 million. Immediately following the acquisition, Heartland Bank and TSB will

merge to create TSB Heartland Bank Limited (TSB Heartland Bank).

1


Summary of the proposed transaction and merger

‒ Recognising each bank’s long history and deep connection to regional New Zealand, the merged bank will

be called TSB Heartland Bank.

‒ TSB Heartland Bank will be a challenger bank of scale with a regional focus – increasing banking

competition and choice for New Zealanders.

‒ By combining Heartland Bank’s specialist product expertise with TSB’s cost-effective funding platform and

transactional banking capabilities, TSB Heartland Bank will be a full-service capable bank differentiated by

its specialist product offerings, with a lower risk-weighted product portfolio.

‒ Greater scale and product diversification will improve financial efficiency and resilience, which may support

an uplift in the merged bank’s long-term credit rating.

2


‒ Material synergies are expected to be progressively realised over a three-year period post-completion by

reducing shared costs across TSB Heartland Bank.

‒ Synergy realisation and the transaction structure are expected to drive material normalised earnings per

share accretion for Heartland shareholders, alongside an enhanced dividend per share profile.

‒ The aggregate consideration to Toi Foundation of $620 million represents 76% of TSB’s book value

3

and

comprises ordinary equity in Heartland (resulting in a 17.5% shareholding in Heartland by Toi Foundation),

a pre-completion cash dividend paid by TSB, a vendor loan provided to Heartland by Toi Foundation, and

Toi Foundation subscribing for Heartland Bank Tier 2 capital.

‒ Subject to Heartland shareholder approval, it is expected that one Toi Foundation nominee will be initially

appointed to the Heartland Board with effect from completion of the proposed merger. It is also expected

that on completion of the proposed merger, two existing TSB directors will initially join the TSB Heartland

Bank Board.

4


‒ The proposed merger is targeting completion in December 2026, subject to satisfaction of a number of

conditions in the MIA, including community consultation by Toi Foundation with Taranaki residents

5

,

Heartland shareholder approval and any necessary New Zealand and Australian regulatory approvals.


The proposed transaction builds on Heartland’s strong merger, acquisition and integration track record,

including the recent acquisition of Challenger Bank Limited (now Heartland Bank Australia Limited (Heartland

Bank Australia)) – which made Heartland Bank the first New Zealand registered bank to acquire an Australian

authorised deposit-taking institution.

Transaction costs are estimated to be approximately $15 million. Approximately $7 million will be expensed

and therefore reflected in Heartland’s net profit after tax (NPAT) for the financial year ending 30 June 2026

(FY2026) and approximately $8 million will be expensed and reflected in Heartland’s NPAT for the financial

year ending 30 June 2027 (FY2027) (subject to the transaction completing in FY2027).

6

Heartland now expects

the difference between reported and underlying NPAT in FY2026 to include transaction costs in addition to any

fair value changes on equity investments held and other one-off non-recurring expenses.

See the accompanying investor presentation for more details.


Heartland will host an investor briefing at 10.30am (NZST) today, Tuesday, 2 June 2026 – see page 3 for

webcast details.

Strategic rationale

The proposed merger will create a New Zealand challenger bank of scale with a regional focus – increasing

banking competition and choice for New Zealanders. By bringing together Heartland Bank’s specialist product

expertise and TSB’s cost-effective funding platform and established transactional banking capabilities, TSB

Heartland Bank will be a full-service capable bank differentiated by its specialist products, with a lower risk-

weighted product portfolio.

Should the proposed merger proceed, substantial scale benefits, value creation and material synergies are

expected to be available.

TSB Heartland Bank will become New Zealand’s seventh largest bank

7

, with approximately $15 billion in total

New Zealand assets (a 171% increase in Heartland’s New Zealand asset base). With a materially increased scale

and diversified product set, it will have an enhanced ability to serve customers throughout their financial

lifecycle, support a productive economy, and deliver improved financial returns. In addition, the proposed

merger may support an uplift in the merged bank’s long term credit rating compared with Heartland Bank,

reflecting TSB Heartland Bank’s strengthened asset quality and lower risk-weighted product profile.

Heartland’s specialist product focus across New Zealand and Australia will be retained and enhanced by the

addition of full-service banking capabilities in New Zealand. As the NZX/ASX listed parent company of a larger,

optimised New Zealand banking business, Heartland will have the ability to deploy capital more effectively

across the group, and have the scale required to deliver an improved cost-to-income ratio through greater

operating leverage.

Material synergies are estimated through cost efficiencies associated with bringing the two banks together by

reducing duplication in activities, processes and shared business overheads. It is anticipated that these

synergies will be progressively realised over a three-year period post-completion of the proposed merger.

When fully realised, these synergies are expected to deliver an ongoing ~$34 million p.a. benefit to profit

before tax.

8


There is also potential for further upside from funding and liquidity synergies, in addition to the ability to

leverage Heartland’s investment in current and future technology programmes. Work remains ongoing in

relation to technology integration costs and potential technology synergies. However, these are not expected

to materially impact the proposed transaction’s financial outcomes. Total one‑off integration costs of

approximately $34 million are expected to be incurred over a three-year period post-completion as synergies

are realised.

Continued regional focus and nationwide presence

Heartland Bank and TSB each have long histories and a deep connection to regional New Zealand. The

proposed merger will be grounded in ensuring good outcomes for both Heartland Bank’s and TSB’s customers,

and the communities they serve. With its combined rich Kiwi heritage, TSB Heartland Bank will keep its focus

on helping New Zealanders to meet their banking needs.

Heartland Bank traces its roots more than 150 years to the Ashburton Permanent Building & Investment

Society in 1875. Its specialist product strategy and community investment via the Heartland Trust reflect its

ongoing commitment to Canterbury and New Zealand. This investment is expected to continue and strengthen

through TSB Heartland Bank.

TSB is a community trust-owned bank with deep regional roots in Taranaki, and has grown to provide banking

services nationwide. Known for its customer-centric approach, TSB has built a reputation for trust and

simplicity over generations. In 2025, the bank marked a significant milestone, celebrating its 175

th

anniversary.

Reflecting each bank’s community roots, TSB Heartland Bank will have a continued regional focus and

nationwide presence in New Zealand. It is intended that TSB Heartland Bank will retain Heartland Bank’s

existing nationwide presence, with Taranaki as a key operational hub for customer-based banking services –

including maintaining a local branch network and customer-facing roles in Taranaki.

Through the sale of TSB to Heartland, Toi Foundation will receive a more diversified investment portfolio,

including 17.5% of the shares in Heartland. This will enhance Toi Foundation’s ability to fund philanthropic

activities across the Taranaki region.

Proposed transaction details

Consideration

The aggregate consideration to Toi Foundation of $620 million represents 76% of TSB’s book value

3

and

includes a pre-completion cash dividend from TSB of $50 million. The remaining consideration comprises:

‒ $250 million of ordinary equity issued to Toi Foundation by Heartland (200 million shares issued at a price

of $1.25 per share, being a 14.6% premium to Heartland’s 10-day volume weighted average share price on

the NZX of $1.09 prior to announcement, representing a 17.5% shareholding in Heartland post-completion

of the proposed transaction)

‒ $56 million of subordinated debt (issued by Heartland Bank as Reserve Bank of New Zealand eligible Tier 2

capital)

‒ $264 million vendor loan provided by Toi Foundation to Heartland

9

, with a two-year term, but able to be

refinanced by Heartland at any time without break fees applying.


Heartland will remain well capitalised post-transaction, with TSB Heartland Bank and Heartland Bank Australia

each maintaining strong regulatory capital positions. No ordinary equity share capital issuances by Heartland

are expected to be needed to meet future capital requirements.

MIA and indicative timetable

The proposed merger is targeting completion in December 2026, subject to satisfaction of the conditions in the

MIA, including community consultation by Toi Foundation with Taranaki residents

5

, Heartland shareholder

approval and any necessary New Zealand and Australian regulatory approvals.

Each party may terminate the MIA if any condition is incapable of being satisfied, or is not satisfied or waived,

by the requisite date. The MIA includes customary interim period obligations which apply from execution of

the MIA to completion of the proposed merger, including requiring Heartland Bank and TSB to operate in the

ordinary course of business consistent with past practice.

As is the case with any acquisition, the proposed transaction is subject to various risks, including that it may

not complete if the conditions are not satisfied. See the accompanying investor presentation for more details

on the MIA, including the risks associated with the proposed transaction.

Financial summary

The proposed transaction is expected to create significant value for Heartland shareholders.

1

•Aggregate consideration to Toi Foundation of $620m for 100% of the shares in TSB implies:

•0.76x book value

1

•12.1x LTM

1

earnings after tax ( excluding synergies)

•8.2x LTM

1

earnings after tax ( including achievement of steady state synergies

2, 3

).

2

•The proposed transaction is expected to generate material normalised EPS accretion in excess of 20% including steady state synergies

2

in the first

year post-completion, alongside an enhanced DPS profile.

•In addition to synergies ( see point 4 below) , returns are enhanced through the vendor loan component offered by Toi Foundation.

3•The proposed transaction is expected to enhance normalised ROE including steady state synergies.

2

4

•Pre-tax cost synergies of ~$34m p.a. are expected to be realised over time across TSB Heartland Bank, with full run-rate achieved 3 years post-completion.

•Estimated total one-off integration costs of ~$34m are expected to be incurred over a 3-year period post-completion.

•Potential for further upside from funding and liquidity synergies, in addition to the ability to further leverage Heartland’s investment in current and future

technology programmes.

5

•Strong balance sheet, funding and liquidity position maintained.

•Strengthened capital position, with TSB Heartland Bank well placed to benefit from the reduction in certain RBNZ risk weightings expected from October 2026.

•The proposed transaction may support an uplift in TSB Heartland Bank’s long-term credit rating reflecting its strengthened asset quality and risk profil e.

4

6

•Transaction costs are estimated to be approximately $15m. It is expected that approximately $7m will be expensed and therefore reflected in Heartland’s

NPAT for FY20 26 and approximately $8m will be expensed and reflected in Heartland’s NPAT for FY20 27 ( subject to the transaction completing in FY20 27) .

Heartland now expects the difference between reported and underlying NPAT in FY20 26 to include transaction costs in addition to any fair value changes on

equity investments held and other one-off non-recurring expenses.

1As at 31 December 2025.

2Based on steady state pre-tax cost synergies of ~$34m p.a. which will be realised over time across TSB Heartland Bank. Excludes

integration costs as these are non-recurring in nature.

3Excludes capital structure ( Tier 2 and vendor loan cost) adjustments from the proposed transaction.

4Heartland Bank has a long-term credit rating of BBB stable ( issued by Fitch Ratings) .

Significant synergies available

Ongoing cost synergies are expected to be realised over a three-year period across

TSB Heartland Bank.

Synergies overview

1,2

•Material synergies

3

will be realised over a 3-year period post-completion by

reducing shared costs across TSB Heartland Bank. When fully realised, these

synergies are expected to deliver a ~$34m p.a. benefit to profit before tax.

•Total one-off integration costs to realise the synergies are estimated at

~$34m and are expected to be incurred over a three-year period post-

completion.

Potential further upside

•Enhanced ability to serve evolving customer needs throughout their financial

lifecycle ( e.g. transitioning from traditional mortgage to reverse equity

product) .

•Funding synergies based on access to TSB’s cost-effective deposit base.

•Liquidity synergies based on optimising TSB Heartland Bank’s liquid asset base

post-completion.

•Ability to further leverage Heartland’s investment in current and future

technology programmes.


Work remains ongoing in relation to technology

integration costs and potential technology synergies, however these are not

expected to materially impact the transaction economics.

1EY was engaged by Heartland and Toi Foundation to assist in identifying and quantifying synergies, the pace at which they could be

realised, and the cost of extracting them.

2Assessed synergies and one-off integration costs exclude technology-related items.

3Estimated synergies are management estimates prepared for transaction evaluation purposes and are forward-looking. Cost

synergies ( ~$34m p.a.) represent expected annual pre-tax run-rate benefits anticipated to be progressively realised within 3 years

post-completion, subject to execution risk, regulatory requirements, market conditions and final integration design. Synergy

estimates have not been audited and may differ materially from actual outcomes.

, having regard to the impact of the recent RBNZ decision on key capital settings

, TSB Heartland Bank is expected to

4

•The RBNZ’s final decisions on key capital settings for deposit takers include the following key features set to benefit TSB Heartland Bank:

•a reduction in Tier 1 ( to 11% from 14%) and total capital ( to 14% from 16%) ratio requirements

1

;

•removal of Additional Tier 1 capital instruments, while allowing a higher mix of Tier 2 capital (to 3% from 2%)

1

; and

•more granul ar and reduced standardised risk weights, particul arl y in the productive sectors of the economy TSB Heartl and Bank will focus

on – including rural loans and residential mortgages. These changes are expected to take effect on 1 October 2026.

•The RBNZ is now also consulting on reverse mortgage risk weights ( following their adjustment after a review conducted in 2023).

•Effective 1 March 20 26, the RBNZ reduced Heartland Bank’s transitional capital overlay ( imposed after the acquisition of ( now) Heartland Bank

Australia) by 1.5%, from 2.0% to 0.5%.

Summary of MIA

Implementation

•A Steering Committee ( comprised of three members nominated by Heartland and three by Toi Foundation) will have oversight of the

implementation process and keep the parties informed of material developments.

•On completion of the proposed transaction:

•Heartland will acquire all of the TSB Shares from Toi Foundation (Step 1 Completion) . Step 1 Completion will occur after the parties

determine that the merged bank will be able to operate in accordance with its conditions of registration and all relevant prudential

standards.

•Immediately following Step 1 Completion, Heartland Bank and TSB will be amalgamated by way of short-form amalgamation.

•The parties will agree an Implementation Plan which provides for the steps and actions to be undertaken by the parties to give effect to

the merger.

Consideration

•As set out on page 12.

I nterim period

•Both banks are subject to certain customary interim period covenants in the interim period between signing of the MIA and Step 1

Completion, including to operate in the ordinary course consistent with past practice. Heartland also has certain rights of reasonable

25
Risks

As with any acquisition, there are risks associated with the proposed transaction. The key risks as at

the date of MIA signing are described below.

Completion risks

•There is a risk that the proposed transaction does not proceed. This may be due to the conditions not being satisfied by the requisite date or

being unable to be satisfied, including if any of the regulatory or shareholder approvals are not obtained. Heartland has incurred costs and

expended resource in progressing the transaction and if the transaction does not proceed for any reason, including in relation to the

completion of the conditions and obtaining the necessary approvals, these costs are unlikely to be recouped.

Forecast risks

•The information in this presentation includes forecasts for TSB Heartland Bank and statements about the expected benefits and fi nancial

position of the merged bank, including expected synergies. Although Heartland believes the forecasts in this presentation are well founded,

there is a risk that, as with any forecast, the actual outcome is different to that expected. The actual position may be worse than expected,

including if the synergies are not achieved in full or take longer to real ise than is anticipated, or if Heartland’s assumptions about the market

and economic conditions are incorrect.

I nformation risk

•In progressing the transaction, including in the preparation of this presentation, Heartland has relied on information provided by or on behalf

of TSB. The transaction remains conditional on completion of confirmatory due diligence. As completion remains conditional on completion

of due diligence, there is a risk that further information is provided which is different to Heartland’s present understanding. There is also a

risk that after completion, Heartland discovers that information provided by or on behalf of TSB is incorrect, incomplete or misleading.

However, Heartland emphasises that it has no reason to believe TSB has not acted in good faith and therefore believes the likelihood of this

risk materialising to be low.

Overview of Toi Foundation

Toi Foundation trustees are responsible for the prudent

investment of the Foundation’s assets consistent with the

purposes of the Foundation. We bel ieve this proposal

creates a win-win where we can further strengthen the

bank, retain a strong presence in Taranaki, and grow the

Foundation’s investment returns through both a

stronger, combined, performing bank investment and

some investment portfolio diversification.

Chris Ussher ( Toi Foundation Chair)

Toi Foundation overview

•Toi Foundation is a perpetual philanthropic community trust focused on

building a thriving, inclusive and equitable Taranaki for current and future

generations.

•It has owned TSB since 1988, with its investment portfolio including 100% of

TSB and 66% of Fisher Funds.

•Toi Foundation has invested significantly in its own capability in recent years,

in terms of strategic philanthropy and investment management. Toi

Foundation trustees have a plan to move towards a diversified investment

portfolio, including fixed income investments.

•Toi Foundation recognises that alternate, more cash generative assets

could facilitate improved distributions into the community compared

with more capital-intensive investments such as its current holding of

10 0 % of the ordinary equity in TSB.

•Toi Foundation also sees significant opportunity for earnings and ROE

growth for TSB through merging with Heartland Bank, including benefits

from greater scale and a more diversified product offering of the merged

bank.

Toi Foundation is the 100% owner of TSB and the last community trust to own a registered bank in

New Zealand.

Non-GAAP measures

•This presentation contains references to non-GAAP measures including normal ised

CTI ratio, EPS and ROE.

•These non-GAAP figures are provided as a supplementary measure for readers to

assess Heartland’s performance alongside NZ GAAP reported measures, where one-

offs, both positive and negative, can make it difficult to compare profits between

years. However, these non-GAAP measures do not have standardised meanings

prescribed by GAAP and should not be viewed in isolation nor considered a substitute

for measures reported in accordance with NZ GAAP. Non-GAAP financial information

has not been subject to review by PricewaterhouseCoopers, Heartland’s external

auditor.

differ from the figures presented.

Forward-looking statements

•This presentation contains certain forward-looking statements with respect to the

•Forward-looking statements can generally be identified by the use of words such as

'project', 'foresee', 'plan', 'expect', 'aim', 'intend', 'anticipate', 'believe', 'estimate', 'may',

indications of future earnings or financial position or performance and future

distributions are also forward-looking statements.

•Those plans and projections reflect current expectations, but are inherently subject to

risk and uncertainty, and may change at any time. All such forward-looking statements

involve known and unknown risks, significant uncertainties, assumptions,

contingencies, and other factors, many of which are outside the control of Heartland

and Toi Foundation, which may cause the actual results or performance of Heartland

Group to be material l y different from any future resul ts or performance expressed or

impl ied by such forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements speak

only as of the date of this presentation. Except as required by law or regulation

( including the NZX Listing Rules and the ASX Listing Rules) , Heartland and Toi

events or circumstances that occur subsequent to the date of this presentation or to

update or keep current any of the information contained herein. Any estimates or

projections as to events that may occur in the future ( including projections of revenue,

expense, net income, performance and synergies) are based upon the best judgement

of Heartland and Toi Foundation from the information available as of the date of this

presentation. A number of factors could cause actual results or performance to vary

materially from the projections, including execution risk, regulatory requirements,

market conditions and final integration design. There is no assurance that those plans

will be implemented or that projections will be realised.

Basis of presentation

•This Presentation has been prepared on the basis that Heartland completes the

Merger pursuant to the Merger Implementation Agreement dated 1 June 20 26 (

MI A).

•Unless otherwise stated, figures labelled "Heartland" or "HGH" are sourced from the

consolidated financial statements of Heartland Group Holdings Limited, being the

interim financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 20 25, the annual

financial statements for the year ended 30 June 20 25, and presented on a last twelve

months (LTM) basis where indicated. TSB figures are sourced from the RBNZ Bank

Financial Strength Dashboard as at 31 December 20 25 and TSB’s disclosure statement

for the six months ended 30 September 2025. Heartland Bank figures ( where used)

relate to Heartland Bank Limited and are sourced from Heartland Bank's disclosure

statement for the six months ended 31 December 2025; these may differ from

Heartland's consolidated figures due to differences in consolidation scope and

accounting presentation.

•Pro forma financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not

intended to represent the actual financial position or performance of Heartland Group

or any part of Heartland Group following completion. Pro forma adjustments reflect the

assumed transaction structure, including a pre-completion dividend paid by TSB to Toi

Foundation, issuance of shares by HGH to Toi Foundation, issuance of a Tier 2

instrument by HBL, and vendor loan, as described on page 12.

•Estimated synergies are management estimates prepared for transaction evaluation

purposes and are forward-looking. See the above paragraph on forward-looking

statements for more information about how these are used in this presentation. Cost

synergies ( ~$34m p.a.) represent expected annual pre-tax run-rate benefits

anticipated to be progressively realised over a three-year period post-completion,

subject to execution risk, regulatory requirements, market conditions and final

integration design. Synergy estimates have not been audited and may differ materially

from actual outcomes.
