NZX/ASX Market Release
Annexure to NZX Capital Change Notice and ASX Appendix 3G
each released on 19 October 2026
The following are the performance hurdles for the 1,643,669 performance rights that have been issued
in respect of FY27 and are the subject of the ASX Appendix 3G / NZX Capital Change Notice filed on
the same day as this Annexure:
Performance Hurdle FY27 Rights
Minimum EPS CAGR 10%
Minimum Revenue CAGR (50% vesting) 4%
Revenue CAGR for 85% vesting 6%
Revenue CAGR for 100% vesting 8%
Both the minimum EPS CAGR and the minimum Revenue CAGR must be achieved for any vesting of
performance rights. The minimum vesting proportion is 50%; thereafter, vesting is on a straight-line
basis between each band.
EPS CAGR and Revenue CAGR are derived from the Annual Report of the Company for the relevant
financial years and are subject to adjustments to remove the impact of material items as the Board
may determine in its absolute discretion to normalise results (up or down) to more appropriately reflect
underlying performance. Without limitation, adjustments may be made to exclude the impact of
unusual or one-off items, discontinued operations, impairment charges, acquisitions and disposals,
and capital management.
In FY26, the Company made a strategic decision to acquire the a2 Pōkeno facility and divest Mataura
Valley Milk (MVM). The Board has decided to normalise reported base year results in FY26 to remove
the impact of the MVM sale and discontinued operations to more appropriately reflect underlying
performance. Accordingly:
• EPS CAGR refers to a compound annual growth rate in reported diluted earnings per ordinary
share over the applicable performance period, with the base year normalised to the equivalent
of diluted EPS from continuing operations
• Revenue CAGR refers to a compound annual growth rate in reported revenue over the
applicable performance period, with the base year normalised to the equivalent of revenue
from continuing operations
