EXPLANATORY NOTE 2

Ratification under Listing Rule 4.5.1(c)

Under Listing Rule 4.5.1(a), Arvida is limited to issuing up to 15% of the total number of Equity Securities of the same class as already quoted on the NZX Main Board on issue for 12 months, unless the shareholders ratify the issuance of the shares by ordinary resolution under Listing Rule 4.5.1(c).

On 15 October 2021 Arvida announced to NZX that it had entered into an agreement to purchase 100% of the shares of Arena Living Holdings Limited (Arena Living) for approximately $345 million.

Further information about these villages and the acquisition is available at www.arvida.co.nz.

To part fund the acquisition, Arvida issued 79,081,633 shares on 21 October 2021 at $1.96 each to a range of institutional and high net worth investors that participated in a ‘book build’ process. The shares issued have the same rights and rank equally with all existing Arvida shares.

The Board approved the issue of shares, as it considered that the transaction as a whole was in the best interests of shareholders.

Eligible shareholders were also offered the opportunity to participate in a 1-for-6.57 pro-rata renounceable rights issue at an issue price of $1.85 per share as part of the acquisition funding.

At the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting a resolution to ratify the shares issued will be put to the shareholders to allow Arvida to issue more shares of the same class as already quoted on the NZX Main Board. The purpose of this resolution is to fully restore Arvida’s capacity to issue shares under Listing Rule 4.5.1(a). This will enable Arvida to continue with its stated strategy, and potentially to fund an acquisition of further facilities by share issues. The Board

unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the ratification of the shares issued as it provides Arvida flexibility over the balance of the 12 month period.

At the date of this notice, Arvida has 720,060,907 shares on issue. It could issue a further 17,065,258 shares under the “15% rule” without shareholder approval (being 15% of the shares currently on issue less the shares already issued). Approval of the resolution would restore the permitted share issue to 108,009,136 shares.

If Resolution 2 is not passed then Arvida’s ability to issue shares would be limited to the 17.1 million ‘headroom’ it currently has or utilise other means of raising capital – for example, with shareholder approval or as a ‘rights issue’.

If Arvida does issue further shares, then existing shareholders’ holdings could be diluted if they do not take up any entitlements offered to them.

Please note that in accordance with LR 6.3.1, any shareholder who participated in the 21 October 2021 share issue is disqualified from voting on resolution 2 on the basis that those shareholders were issued or acquired the shares that are subject to the ratification contemplated by that resolution.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 3

Auditor’s Remuneration

Ernst & Young is automatically reappointed as the auditor of Arvida under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. Under section 207S of the Companies Act auditor’s fees and expenses must be fixed in the manner determined at the Annual Meeting. Shareholder approval is therefore sought for the Board to fix Ernst & Young’s remuneration for the following year.

Procedural Notes
