Capital Change Notice


28 September 2026


Issue of LTI Restricted Share Rights


This notice is given under NZX Listing Rule 3.13.1 and relates to the issue of unlisted restricted

share rights (“RSRs”) in SkyCity Entertainment Group Limited (the “company”) to senior

executives of the company pursuant to the rules of the SkyCity Restricted Share Rights Long

Term Incentive Plan (FY26) & (FY27) (separately and together, the Plan Rules).


Each RSR confers a right to receive one ordinary share in the company, which will only vest if

the relevant senior executive remains continuously employed by the company (or a company

within the SkyCity Group) from the date of issue until the vesting date, as further described

below, and provided that certain financial and non-financial performance measures are met.

To the extent that those vesting conditions are not met, the RSRs will lapse and no shares will

vest to the participating senior executive. Dividends are not payable in connection with the

RSRs.


This issue of these FY26 RSRs has been made to the CEO, on the same terms as those issued

to other senior executives earlier in the year. FY26 LTI RSRs had not previously been issued to

the CEO, and this issue represents all FY26 LTI arrangements for the CEO.
