Update on proposed TSB transaction
Heartland Group Holdings Limited (Heartland) (NZX/ASX: HGH) acknowledges the judgment released today by
the High Court of New Zealand which dismisses the application for an interim injunction filed by the Taranaki
Community Accountability Society Incorporated against the trustees of the Toi Foundation regarding the
process for the proposed sale of TSB Bank Limited (TSB) by Toi Foundation to Heartland, immediately following
which Heartland Bank Limited and TSB would merge to create TSB Heartland Bank Limited (the Proposed
Transaction).

Heartland’s Special Shareholder Meeting remains subject to Toi Foundation trustee approval of the Proposed
Transaction. Heartland expects a decision from Toi Foundation trustees this week.

There are currently no changes to the timeline for the Proposed Transaction.
