Offer of Centuria Stapled Securities only made to New Zealand and Australian Augusta Shareholders

This Offer Document contains an offer by Centuria NZ to procure the issue of Centuria Stapled Securities by Centuria as partial consideration for the acquisition of Augusta Shares. The offer of Centuria Stapled Securities is only made to Augusta Shareholders with a registered address in Augusta’s share register in New Zealand or Australia.

No offer of Centuria Stapled Securities is made to any person in a jurisdiction outside of New Zealand and Australia. Augusta Shareholders with a registered address outside of New Zealand and Australia are Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholders. Any Centuria Stapled Securities that a Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder is entitled to in return for Augusta Shares will not be issued to the Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder. For more information, see the section below titled “The Takeovers Panel has granted an exemption so that Centuria Stapled Securities do not have to be offered outside of New Zealand and Australia” and paragraph 3 of the Offer Terms and Conditions.

Offer of Centuria Stapled Securities to New Zealand Augusta Shareholders

The offer of Centuria Stapled Securities to the holders of Augusta Shares with a New Zealand registered address in Augusta’s share register is made in reliance on the Financial Markets Conduct (Centuria Capital Group) Exemption Notice 2020 (NZ) and is not a regulated offer for the purposes of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (NZ) . The conditions to the Financial Markets Conduct (Centuria Capital Group) Exemption Notice 2020 (NZ) require this Offer Document to contain the warning statements on pages 5 to 6 and certain prescribed disclosures. Those disclosures are set out, or referred to, in Schedule Two and Schedule Four of this Offer Document.

Offer of Centuria Stapled Securities to Australian Augusta Shareholders

The offer of Centuria Stapled Securities to the Augusta Shareholders with an Australian registered address in Augusta’s share register is being made pursuant to this Offer Document and to ASIC Corporations (Foreign Scrip Bids) Instrument 2015/357 (Australia) on the basis that, for the purposes of that instrument the Offer is a “foreign scrip bid” regulated by or under New Zealand law and Centuria NZ and Centuria reasonably believe the Offer is made in accordance with all New Zealand relevant regulatory requirements.

Centuria and Centuria NZ have fixed 12 June 2020 as the time in the 30 day period immediately before any Offers are first made for determining the relief condition that no more than 10% of the Augusta Shares are held by Australian residents.

������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ �����������������������������������������������

Under the Takeovers Code (NZ) , a full takeover offer for a New Zealand company which is listed by NZX is required to be made to all of the holders of each class of equity security in the company on the same terms and provide the same consideration for each equity security of the same class. Absent an exemption, this would have required Centuria NZ to offer Centuria Stapled Securities to all of the Augusta Shareholders, including those outside of New Zealand and Australia, which could have resulted in significant compliance costs. Accordingly, prior to making the Offer, Centuria NZ applied to the Takeovers Panel for, and was granted, an exemption from the Takeovers Code (NZ) on terms substantially consistent with the Takeovers Panel’s stated policy in relation to “scrip offers” and overseas shareholders, as set out in the Takeovers Panel’s Guidance Note on Exemptions.

2

Under that exemption, the Takeovers Code (Augusta Capital Limited) Exemption Notice 2020 (NZ) , the Takeovers Panel exempted Centuria NZ from the requirement to offer Centuria Stapled Securities to Augusta Shareholders with a registered address outside of New Zealand or Australia. Under the conditions of that exemption, Centuria NZ has appointed UBS AG, Australia Branch (ABN 47 088 129 613) as nominee ( “Nominee” ) for any Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder that accepts the Offer and is to receive Centuria Stapled Securities as consideration. Centuria NZ will ensure that the Centuria Stapled Securities that would have otherwise been issued to Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholders are, instead, issued to the Nominee (or a wholly owned subsidiary of the Nominee). The Nominee has agreed to (or to procure a wholly owned subsidiary of the Nominee), as soon as reasonably practicable and in a manner consistent with the Offer Terms and Conditions:

  • sell, on arm’s length terms, the Centuria Stapled Securities that would otherwise have been issued to Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholders; and

  • pay Centuria NZ’s share registrar for the Offer, Computershare Investor Services Limited, each relevant Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder’s pro rata share of the proceeds from the sale of the Centuria Stapled Securities, net of any applicable expenses, brokerage costs and taxes.

In turn, Computershare Investor Services Limited will, as soon as practicable and no later than eight working days after the Centuria Stapled Securities are issued to the Nominee (or its wholly owned subsidiary), pay each relevant Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder a pro rata share of the proceeds from the sale of the Centuria Stapled Securities, net of any applicable expenses, brokerage costs and taxes. For more information, see paragraph 3 of the Offer Terms and Conditions.

On 15 June 2020, Centuria NZ gave notice of its intention to make the Offer ( “Takeover Notice” ). The Takeover Notice was accompanied by a draft version of this Offer Document. Centuria NZ has, pursuant to rule 44(1A) of the Takeovers Code (NZ) , made changes to information contained in the draft Offer Document. Those changes were to update dates, update the percentage of Augusta Shares in respect of which Augusta Shareholders have signed Lock-Up Agreements, fix typographical errors, update Centuria’s market capitalisation information in the diagram on page 21 as at 12 June 2020 rather than as at 31 December 2019, clarify that Centuria’s interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2019 were reviewed by Centuria’s auditor, KPMG, and delete a sentence that was repeated twice in the same section. On request, Centuria NZ will provide Augusta Shareholders with a copy of a ‘compare’ document showing those changes. Please contact the Centuria NZ Offer Information Line if you wish to request this document.

WARNING STATEMENTS

The Financial Markets Authority has granted Centuria an exemption from the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (NZ) . That exemption is contained in the Financial Markets Conduct (Centuria Capital Group) Exemption Notice 2020 (NZ) . This exemption is subject to a number of conditions, including that this Offer Document must contain the following warning statements:

�����������������

  1. The Centuria Stapled Securities offered by Centuria are governed by Australian rather than New Zealand law. In the main, the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Australia) and the regulations made under that Act, govern the Centuria Stapled Securities.

  2. Stapled financial products are complex and are uncommon in New Zealand. The Centuria Stapled Securities comprise one fully paid ordinary share in Centuria Capital Limited and one fully paid unit in the Centuria Capital Fund. Each share is stapled to one unit. This means that those securities are linked together, so that they are treated as one security, to the extent permitted by law, and may only be dealt with together.

  3. There are differences in how financial products are regulated under Australian law. The rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements available to New Zealand investors in Australian financial products may differ from the rights, remedies, and compensation arrangements for New Zealand financial products.

  4. The taxation treatment of Australian financial products is not the same as for New Zealand financial products. Investors in Centuria Stapled Securities should satisfy themselves as to the tax implications of investing in an Australian company and an Australian managed investment scheme.

  5. If you are uncertain about whether investment in the Centuria Stapled Securities offered as consideration under the takeover offer for Augusta is appropriate for you, you should seek the advice of an appropriately qualified financial adviser.

����������������������������������������������������

  1. The offer of Centuria Stapled Securities involves a currency exchange risk. Centuria Stapled Securities are traded through ASX in Australian dollars and if cash distributions are paid on the Centuria Stapled Securities they will be paid in Australian dollars. The New Zealand dollar value of Centuria Stapled Securities and the New Zealand dollar value of any cash distributions will go up or down according to changes in the exchange rate between Australian dollars and New Zealand dollars. These changes may be significant.

  2. If you realise Australian dollar funds from the sale of Centuria Stapled Securities or receive cash distributions in respect of Centuria Stapled Securities, you may incur significant fees in having the Australian dollar funds credited to a bank account in New Zealand in New Zealand dollars.

�����������������������������������������������������������������

  1. If you wish to trade the Centuria Stapled Securities through ASX, you will have to make arrangements for a participant in that market to sell the Centuria Stapled Securities on your behalf. The way in which ASX operates, the regulation of participants in that market, and the information available to you about the financial products and trading may differ from financial products markets that operate in New Zealand.

5

��������������������������������������������������������

  1. If you wish to make a complaint about the takeover offer for equity securities of Augusta, please contact the Takeovers Panel in the first instance (www.takeovers.govt.nz).

  2. If you have a complaint about Centuria Capital Group, please contact Centuria Capital Group in the first instance (www.centuria.com.au). If you are not satisfied with the response you receive, you may contact the Australian Financial Complaints Authority. Its contact details are:

CENTURIA CAPITAL GROUP CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Augusta Shareholders,

�����������������������������������������������������������

On behalf of the board of Centuria Capital Group ( “Centuria” , ASX code: CNI), we are pleased to offer to buy all of your shares in Augusta Capital Limited ( “Augusta” or “Augusta Shares” ). The Offer is made by our wholly owned subsidiary, Centuria New Zealand Holdings Limited ( “Centuria NZ” ).

Centuria is an S&P/ASX 300 listed property funds manager and as at 29 June 2020 it owns a 23.3% shareholding in Augusta. These shares were acquired through Centuria NZ’s participation in Augusta’s recent equity raising. Centuria now seeks to own 100% of Augusta with the full support of Augusta’s founding shareholders (Managing Director Mark Francis and fellow founder Bryce Barnett).

We believe the Offer represents a compelling proposition for Augusta Shareholders, offering a combination of cash and Centuria Stapled Securities at an attractive premium to the current Augusta Share price.

On completion you would gain access to a much larger, high quality and highly complementary Trans-Tasman real estate platform through holding securities in the merged entity. The merged entity would manage assets of AU$8.9 billion and Centuria wishes to expand Augusta’s operations in New Zealand in cooperation with the existing management team through the sharing of systems, resources and the deployment of additional capital.

Both of Centuria’s Joint Chief Executives are New Zealanders currently living in Australia. They are firm supporters of the Augusta management team and the enhanced opportunities this merger brings. Equally, the Centuria board is confident that not only is a larger group better placed to weather the current COVID-19 situation but crucially it will be better placed to take advantage of new opportunities as the pandemic unwinds in Australasia.

�����������������������

In return for your Augusta Shares, you will receive:

  • NZ$0.20 per Augusta Share in cash; and

  • 0.392 Centuria Stapled Securities per Augusta Share.

Centuria Stapled Securities are quoted on ASX in AU$. Based on the 5-day volume weighted average price ( “VWAP” ) for Centuria Stapled Securities on 12 June 2020 of AU$1.914 per security and an assumed exchange rate of AU$1.000:NZ$1.067, the implied offer price is NZ$1.00 per Augusta Share ( “Implied Offer Price” ).[1]

1 The number of Centuria Stapled Securities offered as consideration under the Offer is fixed (unless the Offer is varied by us) and does not change based on changes in the ASX price for Centuria Stapled Securities or in the AU$:NZ$ exchange rate. Accordingly, the NZ$ value of the Offer consideration on the date it is provided to you may differ from the Implied Offer Price.

8

The ASX price for Centuria Stapled Securities and the AU$:NZ$ exchange rate are each highly likely to change (increase and/or decrease) between 12 June 2020 and the issue of Centuria Stapled Securities as consideration for the Offer.[2]

Information about risks associated with movements in the market price on ASX for Centuria Stapled Securities and movements in the AU$:NZ$ exchange rate is set out under the heading “Key risks relating to Centuria Stapled Securities” in the “About the Centuria Capital Group (Centuria)” section of this Offer Document.

The offer price will be reduced by any future dividends or other distributions declared by Augusta in respect of the period commencing on 15 June 2020.

������������������������������������������������������������������������������������

The Implied Offer Price represents an attractive premium to Augusta’s trading price since the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on Augusta were first felt and to Augusta’s net tangible assets per Augusta Share and takes into account the issuance of an additional 81.8 million Augusta Shares as a consequence of the recent Augusta capital raising.

The Implied Offer Price of NZ$1.00 per Augusta Share represents a:

  • 46.0% premium to the closing price of Augusta Shares of NZ$0.69 on 12 June 2020 (the last trading day before we announced our intention to make the Offer);

  • 41.7% premium to the 10-day VWAP of Augusta Shares of NZ$0.71 on 12 June 2020 (the last trading day before we announced our intention to make the Offer);

  • 47.1% premium to Augusta’s post-raising theoretical-ex-rights price ( “TERP” )[3] of NZ$0.68 as

  • announced on 5 May 2020; and

  • 117.4% premium to Augusta’s pro forma 31 March 2020 net tangible assets of NZ$0.46 per share.

�������������������������������

The key reasons why we believe you should accept the Offer include:

  1. The Implied Offer Price represents an attractive premium to key metrics as at the announcement day (15 June 2020).

  2. The Offer is supported by Augusta’s founding shareholders (Managing Director Mark Francis and fellow founder Bryce Barnett) and other Augusta Shareholders who, together with Centuria’s 23.3% shareholding, represent 42.8% of Augusta’s total shares on issue.

  3. The enlarged group would represent one of Australasia’s leading funds management platforms with assets under management increasing to NZ$9.5 billion post completion of the Offer.[4]

  4. Centuria Stapled Securities are liquid with a market capitalisation of approximately AU$925 million as at 12 June 2020[5 ] and Centuria is included in the S&P/ASX 300 index.

  5. A competing offer is unlikely given Centuria’s 23.3% shareholding and the support from the founding shareholders and other Augusta Shareholders who, in aggregate, hold a further 19.5% shareholding.

  6. There is a risk that the Augusta share price might fall if the Offer does not result in Centuria obtaining sufficient acceptances to compulsorily acquire Augusta.

2 You can check the ASX price for Centuria Stapled Securities, in AU$, at the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) under the ASX code “CNI”.

3 Theoretical ex-rights price (TERP) at which Augusta Shares would trade immediately after the ex-rights date for Augusta’s recent entitlement offer. TERP is calculated with reference to Augusta’s closing share price of NZ$0.80 on 1 May 2020 and includes all new Augusta Shares issued under the capital raising. TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual trading price of Augusta Shares will depend on many factors and may not be equal to TERP. 4 Currency exchange ratio of AU$1.000:NZ$1.067.

5 Based on a Centuria 5-day VWAP of AU$1.914.

9

����������

The Offer is subject to a number of conditions, including that we obtain sufficient acceptances of the Offer so that we hold or control at least 90% of the voting rights in Augusta.[6] The Offer is not conditional on Overseas Investment Office consent as Centuria has already obtained that consent.

���������������������������������������������������������

If you have a registered address on Augusta’s share register outside of New Zealand or Australia, then you are a “Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder” for the purposes of the Offer.

As a Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder, any Centuria Stapled Securities that you are entitled to in return for your Augusta Shares will not be issued to you. Rather, they will be issued to UBS AG, Australia Branch (or its wholly owned subsidiary), which will sell those Centuria Stapled Securities through ASX and pay the proceeds of sale to you net of any applicable expenses, brokerage costs and taxes. For more information, see paragraph 3 of the Offer Terms and Conditions.

Conclusion

I encourage you to read this Offer Document carefully and in full before deciding whether to accept the Offer.

Please note that, in order to be valid, your acceptance of the Offer must be received by 11.59pm (New Zealand time) on 10 August 2020, unless the Offer is extended.

If you have any questions in relation to the Offer, please call the Offer Information Line or seek your own professional advice. The Offer Information Line is available on 0800 771 117 (within New Zealand) or +64 9 488 8784 (outside New Zealand) between 8.30am and 5.00pm (NZ time) Monday to Friday (business days only) during the period of the Offer.

I look forward to your acceptance of the Offer and to welcoming you as a securityholder of Centuria.

Yours sincerely

Garry Charny Chairman Centuria Capital Group

6 We may waive this condition, subject to the Takeovers Code (NZ) .

WHY YOU SHOULD ACCEPT THE OFFER

This section sets out Centuria’s view on the merits of the Offer. It is not a summary of the Independent Adviser’s Report on the merits of the Offer.

1. The Implied Offer Price represents an attractive premium to key metrics on the announcement date (15 June 2020)

Under the Offer, Augusta Shareholders will receive:

  • NZ$0.20 in cash per Augusta Share; plus

  • 0.392 Centuria Stapled Securities per Augusta Share.

Based on the 5 day VWAP for Centuria Stapled Securities on 12 June 2020 of AU$1.914 per security and an assumed exchange rate of AU$1.000:NZ$1.067, the Implied Offer Price is NZ$1.00 per Augusta Share.[7]

The Implied Offer Price represents a:

  • 46.0% premium to the closing price of Augusta Shares of NZ$0.69 on 12 June 2020 (the last trading day before we announced our intention to make the Offer);

  • 41.7% premium to the 10-day VWAP of Augusta Shares of NZ$0.71 on 12 June 2020 (the last trading day before we announced our intention to make the Offer);

  • 47.1% premium to Augusta’s post-raising theoretical-ex-rights price (TERP)[8] of NZ$0.68 as announced on 5 May 2020; and

2. The Offer is supported by Augusta’s founding shareholders (Managing Director Mark Francis and fellow founder Bryce Barnett) and other Augusta Shareholders who, together with Centuria’s 23.3% shareholding, represent 42.8% of Augusta’s total shares on issue

As at the date of this Offer Document, Centuria NZ owns Augusta Shares representing 23.3% of all Augusta Shares, making Centuria NZ the largest Augusta Shareholder.

Augusta Shareholders, including Augusta’s founding shareholders, Mark Francis (associated interests holding 11.9% of the Augusta Shares) and Bryce Barnett (associated interests holding 3.0% of the Augusta Shares), who hold in aggregate, 19.5% of the Augusta Shares, have entered into lock-up agreements under which they have agreed to accept the Offer.

7 Information about risks associated with movements in the market price on ASX for Centuria Stapled Securities and movements in the AU$:NZ$ exchange rate is set out under the heading “Key risks relating to Centuria Stapled Securities” in the “About the Centuria Capital Group (Centuria)” section of this Offer Document. 8 Theoretical ex-rights price (TERP) at which Augusta Shares would trade immediately after the ex-rights date for Augusta’s recent entitlement offer. TERP is calculated with reference to Augusta’s closing share price of NZ$0.80 on 1 May 2020 and includes all new Augusta Shares issued under the capital raising. TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual trading price of Augusta Shares will depend on many factors and may not be equal to TERP.

11

3. The enlarged group would represent one of Australasia’s leading funds management platforms

  • with assets under management increasing to NZ$9.5 billion post completion of the Offer[9]

If the Offer is successfully completed, Augusta Shareholders will receive Centuria Stapled Securities as part-consideration. Centuria is a leading ASX-listed fund manager and is included in the S&P/ASX 300 Index (making it attractive for institutional investors and providing greater liquidity than Augusta Shares). Post transaction, Centuria’s Assets Under Management ( “AUM” ) will be NZ$9.5 billion (AU$8.9 billion).

Centuria believes in the Augusta management team and will ensure continuity of leadership of the business with founders Mark Francis and Bryce Barnett continuing to lead the Augusta funds management platform and joining, as key members, the Centuria Capital Group executive team.

4. Centuria Stapled Securities are liquid securities, Centuria is included in the S&P/ASX 300 index and the merged group would have a market capitalisation of approximately AU$1,022 million

Augusta Shareholders who receive Centuria Stapled Securities will benefit from the increased scale, relevance and liquidity that comes from the combination of Centuria and Augusta, and Centuria being in the S&P/ASX 300 Index.

In addition, the Offer enhances the potential for inclusion of the Centuria Capital Group in the S&P/ASX 200 Index.

5. A competing offer is unlikely given Centuria’s 23.3% shareholding and the support from the founding shareholders and other Augusta Shareholders who hold a further 19.5% shareholding

The Offer is the only proposal that has been publicly announced as at the date of this Offer Document that provides all Augusta Shareholders with an opportunity to sell all of their Augusta Shares. As far as Centuria NZ is aware, no competing offer has emerged since Centuria NZ announced the Offer on 15 June 2020.

As at the date of this Offer Document, Centuria NZ is not aware of any other party intending to make a competing proposal that includes an offer for Augusta Shares. Centuria NZ believes it is highly unlikely that a competing proposal will emerge given that Centuria NZ holds 23.3% of all Augusta Shares and Augusta Shareholders holding a further 19.5% of the Augusta Shares have agreed to accept the Offer.

6. There is a risk that the Augusta share price might fall if the Offer does not result in Centuria NZ obtaining sufficient acceptances to compulsorily acquire Augusta

The Implied Office Price of NZ$1.00 per Augusta Share represents a 46.0% premium to the last close sale price on the NZX for Augusta Shares, before Centuria NZ announced its intention to make this Offer, of NZ$0.69.

If the Offer does not result in Centuria NZ acquiring 90% or more of the voting rights in Augusta (following which Centuria NZ would compulsorily acquire the remaining Augusta Shares), the price at which Augusta Shares are traded on the NZX may trade at a material discount to the consideration offered under the Offer.

If you do not accept the Offer and Centuria NZ acquires more than 50% of the Augusta Shares but less than 90% of the Augusta Shares,[10] you will remain a minority Augusta Shareholder – with Centuria NZ as the new majority shareholder in Augusta.

9 Currency exchange ratio of AU$1.000:NZ$1.067.

10 If Centuria NZ receives acceptances to the Offer that, when aggregated with Centuria NZ’s existing holding of Augusta Shares, confer 90% or more of Augusta’s voting rights, Centuria NZ intends to compulsorily acquire the remaining Augusta Shares.

12

Being a minority Augusta Shareholder in those circumstances has the following implications:

  • The market for Augusta Shares may become less liquid – which may adversely affect your ability to sell your Augusta Shares for a price that is acceptable to you;

  • Centuria NZ will gain sufficient voting power to direct the composition of the board of directors of Augusta;[11] and

  • Centuria will request the Augusta board review its capital structure and distribution policies.

More details on Centuria NZ’s intentions for Augusta after the Offer are set out in paragraph 11 of Schedule One of this Offer Document.

7. No brokerage payable in connection with acceptance of the Offer

Unless you are a Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder, you will not incur any brokerage fees in connection with your acceptance of the Offer.[12] You may incur brokerage if you choose to sell your Augusta Shares on market or if you instruct your Broker to accept the Offer on your behalf.

Once Centuria NZ declares the Offer unconditional, unless you are a Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder, you will receive cash and Centuria Stapled Securities as consideration within the earlier of:

  • if you accept the Offer before the unconditional date, 5 working days after the unconditional date; and

  • if you accept the Offer after the unconditional date (assuming the Offer is declared unconditional before the closing date for the Offer), 5 working days after Centuria receives your acceptance.

If you are a Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder, you will receive your cash consideration within the timeframe set out above. In addition, your Centuria Stapled Securities will be issued to the Nominee within that time period. The Nominee will then sell those Centuria Stapled Securities and the net proceeds, after deduction of applicable expenses, brokerage costs and taxes deducted from the proceeds, will be paid to you in AU$ in accordance with the process described in paragraph 3 of the Offer Terms and Conditions.

11 While Augusta remains listed by NZX, Augusta would be subject to the governance protections contained in the NZX Listing Rules, including a requirement for independent directors and restrictions on related party transactions.

12 Information for Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholders is set out in paragraph 3 of the Offer Terms and Conditions.

CCL and CFML are the issuers of the Centuria Stapled Securities. Each Centuria Stapled Security comprises a fully paid ordinary share in CCL and a fully paid unit in the CNI Fund. Each share and unit are “stapled” together and can only be bought and sold together as a stapled security. The Centuria Stapled Securities are quoted on ASX under the ASX code “CNI”.

The stapling of shares and units is quite common for ASX listed property fund managers. It provides an efficient structure for passive indirect investments in land held by the listed managed investment scheme (which is treated for Australian taxation purposes as a “flow through” entity) and for the listed company being an active operator of a business.

Further information regarding Centuria Stapled Securities, including a comparison of the rights, protections and obligations that result from holding Centuria Stapled Securities and those that result from holding Augusta Shares, is set out in Schedule Four of this Offer Document.

You can find Centuria’s most recently published financial statements, information disclosed by Centuria under its ASX continuous disclosure obligations and information about the current, and historical, market price for Centuria Stapled Securities on the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) under the ASX code “CNI”.

Centuria Property Funds

Centuria Property Funds was formed in 1999 to arrange the syndicated purchase of investment grade property on behalf of a limited number of private investor clients. These investors wished to participate in the ownership of high-value commercial property, not normally accessible to individuals.

Centuria Property Funds is now one of Australia’s largest property funds management platforms, managing multiple properties across unlisted property trusts, one open-ended diversified property fund and two ASX listed real estate investment trusts ( “REITs” ) being Centuria Office REIT and Centuria Industrial REIT.

In 2019, Centuria also acquired 63% of Heathley Limited to form Centuria Heathley, a leading property funds management platform in the healthcare sector.

Overview

The combination of Augusta and Centuria, by way of the Offer, capitalises on two leading funds management platforms in comparable real estate markets to form one of the region’s largest real estate funds managers. If the Offer results in Centuria acquiring full ownership of Augusta:

  • The Combined Group’s AUM expands to AU$8.9 billion (+24%), with enhanced asset diversification.[22]

  • Augusta’s complementary platform is highly aligned to Centuria’s sectors of expertise in office and industrial.

  • The merger is consistent with Centuria’s strategy of growth via new platform acquisitions and retains focus on Centuria’s primary sectors of office, industrial and healthcare, whilst providing select exposure to New Zealand’s growing large format retail and tourism sectors.

Benefits for new and existing holders of Centuria Stapled Securities

Completion of the Offer to form the Combined Group has several benefits for new and existing holders of Centuria Stapled Securities:

  • Increases scale and relevance. Centuria’s assets under management to increase by a further 24% to AU$8.9 billion. The issuance of the Scrip Consideration will increase Centuria’s market capitalisation to over AU$1,022 million[23] which enhances the potential for S&P/ASX 200 Index inclusion.

  • Combines two complementary real estate platforms. Augusta is one of New Zealand’s largest listed funds managers with expertise in New Zealand office and industrial sectors and an

  • excellent long-term track record. The Combined Group will have greater asset sector diversification and opens new distribution channels across Australia and New Zealand.

  • Financially compelling. The formation of the Combined Group will expand recurring real estate revenues and listed and unlisted funds. In addition, there are potential revenue and cost synergies available by deploying Centuria’s balance sheet and the rationalisation of systems.

  • Diversification into New Zealand real estate. New Zealand is a well recognised and

  • comparable real estate market to Australia. The formation of the Combined Group immediately

  • establishes a market leading regional platform, taking advantage of Trans-Tasman investor appetite

  • for similar funds. It provides significant exposure to robust Auckland office and industrial markets.

22 Based on Centuria AUM of AU$7.2 billion as at 31 December 2019 and Augusta AUM of AU$1.7 billion as at 31 March 2020.

23 Based on a Centuria Stapled Security price of AU$1.914.

Copies of Centuria’s published financial statements can be obtained, free of charge, from Centuria’s website, https://centuria.com.au/centuria-capital/shareholder-centre/financial-annual-reports/.

Centuria continuous disclosure obligations

Centuria is subject to the continuous disclosure obligations contained in the ASX Listing Rules. Under those obligations, subject to limited exceptions, Centuria must disclose material information to ASX immediately on becoming aware of that information.

Copies of all disclosures made by Centuria to ASX can be obtained, free of charge, at ASX’s website (www.asx.com.au) under the ASX code “CNI”.

Things you should take into account when considering the Offer

In deciding whether you should accept the Offer, you should:

  • read in full this Offer Document;

  • read in full the target company statement prepared by Augusta in respect of the Offer (including the independent adviser’s report that forms part of the target company statement);

  • consider the information released by Centuria to ASX under Centuria’s continuous disclosure

  • obligations and by Augusta to NZX under Augusta’s continuous disclosure obligations;

  • carefully consider the risks of owning Centuria Stapled Securities, including risks that may have

  • an adverse impact on the financial position and performance of the Combined Group, and risks that may have an adverse impact on the value of Centuria Stapled Securities;

  • carefully consider your own investment objectives, financial situation and particular needs (including financial and tax issues); and

  • seek professional advice as needed.

Key risks relating to Centuria Stapled Securities

Centuria has summarised below what it believes to be the key risks for you to consider that specifically relate to the Offer and the Combined Group. However, this Offer Document does not detail all of the risks that the Combined Group may face. In particular, the below summary does not address risks already faced by Augusta or Augusta Shareholders, risks that apply to businesses generally, risks that apply to investments generally and risks that are not presently known to Centuria (or, if known, are not presently considered to be key risks).

This summary does not consider risks arising from your individual investment objectives, financial situation or needs.

You should seek your own professional advice about the Offer and the risks associated with receiving Centuria Stapled Securities as consideration.

27 Centuria’s interim consolidated financial statements for the six months ended 31 December 2019 were reviewed by Centuria’s auditor, KPMG.

33

Key risks associated with the Offer and with you receiving Centuria Stapled Securities as consideration

Centuria believes the key risks arising from the Offer that you should consider are as follows:

  • Centuria may not acquire all of the Augusta Shares

Although the Offer is conditional on Centuria NZ receiving acceptances that would result in Centuria NZ holding or controlling 90% or more of the voting rights in Augusta (which would entitle Centuria NZ to compulsorily acquire all outstanding Augusta Shares), under the Offer Centuria NZ reserves the right to waive this condition if it receives acceptances that would result in Centuria NZ holding or controlling more than 50% of the voting rights in Augusta. If this occurred, Centuria would not acquire all of the Augusta Shares.

The impact of Centuria NZ not acquiring all of the Augusta Shares would depend on the ultimate level of ownership acquired but, in any event, if Centuria NZ acquires lesser than 100% of Augusta, this could have an impact on Centuria’s capacity to realise objectives from the acquisition of Augusta and to implement the intentions described in paragraph 11 of Schedule One of this Offer Document.

  • The market price of the Centuria Stapled Securities will vary from time to time

The market price of Centuria Stapled Securities on ASX varies from time to time. It has recently been negatively affected by COVID-19 and market related factors. The market price at the time at which you receive Centuria Stapled Securities under the Offer may vary from the market price on the date that you accept the Offer or the market price used for the calculation of the Implied Offer Price (see the “Centuria Capital Group Chairman’s Letter” section of this Offer Document).

The market price of Centuria Stapled Securities may fall at any time, including before or after Centuria Stapled Securities are issued to you. Accordingly, you may be unable to sell your Centuria Stapled Securities at a price equivalent to the market price when you accepted the Offer, the market price used for the calculation of the Implied Offer Price or the market price when you receive your Centuria Stapled Securities.

  • The change in control of Augusta may trigger termination (or other adverse) rights

Augusta may be party to agreements that contain change of control or pre-emptive rights provisions that are triggered if Centuria NZ acquires control of Augusta. If a counterparty to one of those agreements were to exercise those adverse rights, it may have an adverse effect on the Combined Group. As at the date of this Offer Document, Centuria NZ is not aware of any adverse action of this nature.

There are business acquisition and integration risks

Any business acquisition and integration (such as will be required by the Combined Group) carries with it uncertainty and risk, including as to whether the benefits of the acquisition will meet expectations and whether integration of processes and systems can be achieved.

  • There may be adverse tax consequences for you of accepting the Offer and receiving Centuria

  • Stapled Securities as consideration

The tax consequences for you of accepting the Offer and receiving Centuria Stapled Securities as consideration depend on your specific circumstances.

General information on some of the tax implications for New Zealand residents of receiving Centuria Stapled Securities as consideration under the Offer is set out in Schedule Two and Schedule Four of this Offer Document. However, that information does not take into account your specific circumstances and is not tax advice. If you have any questions regarding the tax consequences of accepting the Offer and receiving Centuria Stapled Securities as consideration, you should obtain your own taxation advice.

34

Other key risks associated with you becoming a holder of Centuria Stapled Securities

You are already exposed to risks associated with Augusta and the industry in which it operates. In the Combined Group, some of those risks are the same or similar but some of those risks may change and there are additional risks, including as a result of Centuria operating in Australia.

Centuria believes the key changes in risk exposures that you could experience as a result of being a holder of Centuria Stapled Securities (rather than remaining as a direct shareholder in Augusta) are as follows:

An exposure to risks associated with Centuria’s existing businesses and the industries in which those businesses operate

Centuria has a substantial existing business in Australia as a specialist investment and property funds manager. Centuria’s key businesses are the management of listed and unlisted property funds in Australia and the issue of investment bonds. Accordingly, if you receive Centuria Stapled Securities, you will be exposed to risks associated with Centuria’s businesses, including the operation of those businesses in Australia.

General risks include: general economic factors (such as changes resulting from the impact of COVID-19 or changes in interest rates, exchange rates, business confidence, inflation, etc.) which may adversely affect Centuria, the potential for litigation against Centuria, the potential for changes to tax laws, the potential for fluctuations in the market price of Centuria Stapled Securities and the potential that there may not be an active market for Centuria Stapled Securities.

Industry specific risks include: the potential for prevailing property market factors to adversely affect Centuria (for example, the increased risk of tenant defaults arising for adverse market and economic conditions), the risk that Centuria may not be able to realise property assets within a short period of time and/or at a price which is equal to or exceeds the valuation of those assets, the potential for regulatory change or, given the highly regulated environment in which Centuria operates, for regulatory action against Centuria.

Risks specific to Centuria include: the potential for reduction in fund management fees increase due to adverse factors affecting funds managed by Centuria subsidiaries (including due to fund underperformance, action taken by fund holders to remove Centuria subsidiaries as manager, the expiry of fixed term funds or the reduction in property values), the risk that Centuria may not be able to launch new managed funds in the future, the potential for external funding to be unavailable to finance property purchases, the risk that Centuria may not be able to properly integrate Augusta or other businesses acquired by Centuria, the potential for severe disruption to Centuria’s information systems and the risk that senior managers may leave Centuria.

Centuria has disclosed information to the ASX regarding its assessment of risk factors specific to the industries within which Centuria operates, as well as risks that are specific to Centuria. The most recent summary of those risks is set out in Appendix B to the Investor Presentation released by Centuria to ASX on 29 January 2020. That investor presentation can be accessed on the ASX website (www.asx.com.au) under the ASX code “CNI”.

35

COVID-19 and macroeconomic risks

The COVID-19 pandemic presents substantial and multi-faceted risks for the economy in general and specifically for Centuria’s business.

For example, COVID-19 has resulted in significant Australian and global market turbulence and has created substantial volatility in the prices of securities trading on the ASX, including the price of securities in Centuria. Centuria Stapled Securities are trading at a significant discount to the trading prices that prevailed just prior to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the ASX market.

The uncertainty associated with the pandemic means that the broader impacts of it and how long those impacts will last for are unknown. Among other things, this relates to the Australian state and federal government response to mitigate COVID-19, the closure of many businesses across Australia, affiliated unemployment and tightening travel restrictions, all of which may have some impact on the performance of Centuria, tenants of Centuria managed funds, the ASX and the broader economy.

Given the high degree of uncertainty surrounding the extent and duration of COVID-19, it is not currently possible to assess the full impact of COVID-19 on Centuria’s business. However, a number of specific impacts can be identified arising from the sensitivity of Centuria’s business to the property sector through management and performance fees for Centuria entities derived from managing property funds and through co-investment by Centuria in Centuria managed property funds. Tenants of properties within Centuria managed funds are likely to be directly and indirectly affected by government, regulatory and health authority actions, work stoppages, lockdowns, quarantines and travel restrictions associated with COVID-19. This may negatively impact the ability of tenants to meet their rent obligations and in turn may lead to write-downs in the value of properties in Centuria managed funds. In those circumstances, fees received by Centuria manager entities and the returns received by Centuria in Centuria managed funds would be likely to be materially and adversely affected.

There are also other changes in the domestic and global macroeconomic environment associated with the events relating to COVID-19 that are beyond the control of Centuria and may be exacerbated in an economic recession or downturn. These include, but are not limited to:

  • changes in inflation, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates;

  • changes in employment level and labour costs; and

  • changes in aggregate investment and economic output.

  • An exposure to a different type of security

Your Augusta Shares are ordinary shares in a New Zealand company. In contrast, Centuria Stapled Securities comprise an ordinary share in an Australian company, CCL, and a unit in an Australian registered managed investment scheme, CNI Fund. A description and comparison of the key rights, protections and liabilities arising from holding an Augusta Share and those from holding a Centuria Stapled Security is set out in Schedule Four of this Offer Document.

An exposure to different law

Augusta is incorporated in New Zealand and subject to the NZX Listing Rules and New Zealand law. In contrast, Centuria is established in Australia and subject to the ASX Listing Rules and Australian law (including corporate law and taxation law). Australian law is different to New Zealand law. As noted above, a comparison of the key legal differences between an Augusta Share and a Centuria Stapled Security is set out in Schedule Four of this Offer Document. In addition, a summary of taxation consequences for New Zealand residents of holding Centuria Stapled Securities is set out in Schedule Two and Schedule Four of this Offer Document.

36

However, each of those sections is provided as general information only and does not take your specific circumstances into account. If you have any questions, you should seek your own professional advice.

  • An exposure to currency risk

Centuria Stapled Securities are quoted on ASX in Australian dollars and distributions paid by Centuria are paid in Australian dollars. Accordingly, if you receive Centuria Stapled Securities as consideration under the Offer you will be exposed to fluctuations in the AU$:NZ$ exchange rate.

The NZ$ value of the Centuria Stapled Securities that you receive under the Offer will vary depending on movements in the AU$:NZ$ exchange rate.

  • 8.2 Centuria NZ will provide you with the consideration for your Augusta Shares, as follows:

  • (a) in respect of a cash payment, by sending you a cheque by ordinary post or, if you choose in your Acceptance Form, by making an electronic funds transfer to a New Zealand dollar account with a New Zealand registered bank;

  • (b) in respect of Centuria Stapled Securities where you are not a Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder, Centuria NZ will procure that Centuria issues Centuria Stapled Securities to you in accordance with paragraph 4.2(a);

  • (c) in respect of Centuria Stapled Securities, where you are a Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder, Centuria NZ will procure that Centuria issues Centuria Stapled Securities to the Nominee (or a wholly owned subsidiary of the Nominee) to be sold, and the net proceeds distributed to you in accordance with paragraph 3.

  • 8.3 If:

  • (a) your desired account is not a New Zealand dollar account with a New Zealand registered bank; or

  • (b) the details that you provide are not sufficient to make an electronic funds transfer to your desired account,

Centuria NZ may choose to pay you by electronic funds transfer to any existing New Zealand dollar account that you have advised to Augusta’s share registrar (such as for dividend payments) which is known by Centuria NZ, or by cheque.

  • 8.4 If Centuria NZ chooses to make payment to you in accordance with paragraph 8.3:

9. CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

Dividends and distributions

  • 9.1 If, on or after the Effective Date, Augusta authorises, declares, makes, or pays any dividend or other payment or distribution of any nature whatsoever on Augusta Shares (including by way of share buyback, redemption or cancellation or any other form of capital reduction) and the condition in paragraph 7.2(k)(v) is waived by Centuria NZ and the Offer otherwise becomes unconditional, then, unless Centuria NZ determines otherwise, at the option of Centuria NZ (and subject to the terms of any waiver), either:

  • (a) you will be bound to pay to Centuria NZ on demand an amount equivalent to the dividend, other payment or the value of the distribution prior to the deduction of any withholding taxes (in each case exclusive of any imputation credits attached to the dividend, if applicable, and in relation to a non-resident Augusta Shareholder, ignoring any supplementary dividend paid to that non-resident Augusta Shareholder) that is received by, or is properly payable to, you and relates to the Augusta Shares for which you accept or have accepted the Offer and which are transferred to Centuria NZ; or

  • (b) the consideration which would otherwise have been provided to you for your Augusta Shares will be adjusted to reflect the Distribution Amount (defined below). Such adjustment will occur first in reduction of the cash component of the consideration specified at paragraph 2.1 and then, if the cash component has been reduced to NZ$nil, by reduction in the number of Centuria Stapled Securities offered as consideration (and, for this purpose, 0.392 of a Centuria Stapled Security will have a nominal value of NZ$0.80) (with any fraction of a Centuria Stapled Security rounded down). For the purposes of this paragraph (b), the “Distribution Amount” is an amount equivalent to the dividend, other payment or the value of the distribution prior to the deduction of any withholding taxes (in each case exclusive of any imputation credits attached to the dividend, if applicable, and in relation to a non-New Zealand resident Augusta Shareholder, ignoring any supplementary dividend paid to that non-New Zealand resident Augusta Shareholder) that is received by, or is properly payable to, you and relates to the Augusta Shares for which you accept or have accepted the Offer and which are transferred to Centuria NZ.

By way of example, if you accept the Offer for your Augusta Shares and Augusta authorises an unimputed dividend of NZ$0.25 per Augusta Share and subparagraph (b) applies to the dividend, then the cash component of the consideration will be reduced to NZ$nil and the number of Centuria Stapled Securities to be issued to you (or the Nominee (or wholly owned subsidiary of the Nominee), if you are a Foreign Exempt Augusta Shareholder) will be reduced from 0.392 of a Centuria Stapled Security per Augusta Share to 0.367 of a Centuria Stapled Security per Augusta Share.[28]

9.2 If you are required to make a payment to Centuria NZ under paragraph 9.1(a) you must make that payment:

(a) within five working days of demand, to the bank account stated in Centuria NZ’s demand;

(b) in cleared and irreversible funds; and (c) free of deduction, set off, withholding or condition.

28 Calculated as follows: 0.392 – (NZ$0.05 value of dividend after reducing cash component to NZ$nil / NZ$0.80) x 0.392).

52

  • 9.3 If a dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph 9.1 is not in cash in New Zealand dollars then Centuria NZ may determine the New Zealand dollar value of that dividend or

  • distribution. Centuria NZ’s determination will be final and will bind you and all other persons. You may not challenge or appeal that determination, absent any manifest error or lack of good faith in making such determination.

Bonus issues of securities

  • 9.4 If, on or after the Effective Date, Augusta authorises or makes any issue of Augusta Shares, convertible securities, or other securities or financial products of any nature (including warrants, options, convertible notes, entitlements, rights or interests in its ordinary Augusta Shares) ( “Additional Securities” ), by way of bonus issue and the conditions in paragraphs 7.2(k)(vi) and 7.2(k)(viii) are waived by Centuria NZ and the Offer becomes unconditional, then, unless Centuria NZ determines otherwise, at the option of Centuria NZ (and subject to the terms of any waiver), either:

  • (a) you must transfer to Centuria NZ, in respect of the Augusta Shares for which you have accepted the Offer and which are transferred to Centuria NZ, any Additional Securities, without any additional payment or consideration; or

  • (b) if the Additional Securities are Augusta Shares, the Offer will extend to those Additional Securities, the consideration payable for each Augusta Share as set out in paragraph 2.1 will be proportionately reduced to take account of the bonus issue, such that the total aggregate consideration payable for all Augusta Shares in Augusta under the Offer (including the Additional Securities), if accepted in full, remains the same as it would have had no bonus issue taken place.

Other issues of Augusta Shares

  • 9.5 If, on or after the Effective Date, Augusta authorises or makes any issue of Augusta Shares to any person other than by way of bonus issue, the conditions in paragraphs 7.2(k)(vi) and 7.2(k)(viii) are waived by Centuria NZ and the Offer otherwise becomes unconditional, then the Offer will be deemed to be extended to and include those Augusta Shares and the price payable for them will be the price set out in paragraph 2.1.

Subdivisions and consolidations

  • (e) Following the Offer and a detailed review of the Augusta business (having regard to all material facts and circumstances), Centuria NZ will review the capital structure of Augusta (including Augusta’s dividend policy, raising capital, and taking on debt). No decision has yet been made on any material changes in relation to these matters.

  • (f) If the Offer becomes unconditional but Centuria NZ does not receive sufficient acceptances under the Offer to enable it to compulsorily acquire the Augusta Shares of the remaining Augusta Shareholders who have not accepted the Offer under the Takeovers Code (NZ) , the extent to which Centuria NZ will be able to implement its intentions as described above in relation to the Augusta Group will be subject to:

13. ESCALATION CLAUSES

  • 13.1 There is no agreement or arrangement (whether legally enforceable or not) to which Centuria NZ or any of its related entities is a party, under which any existing holder of equity securities in Augusta will or may receive in relation to, or as a consequence of, the Offer, any additional consideration or other benefit over and above the consideration set out in the Offer, or under which any prior holder of equity securities in Augusta will or may receive any consideration or other benefit as a consequence of the Offer.

Tax (paragraph 6(g)(x), FMC Exemption Notice)

  • 1.15 Augusta Shareholders should satisfy themselves as to the tax implications of investing in an Australian company and an Australian managed investment scheme.

  • 1.16 The taxation implications of the Offer will vary depending upon your particular

  • circumstances. Accordingly, you should seek and rely upon your own professional advice before concluding on the particular taxation treatment that will apply to you.

  • 1.17 Set out below and in Schedule Four to this Offer Document is a summary of the potential tax implications of the Offer for Augusta Shareholders ( “NZ Augusta Shareholders” ) that are residents of New Zealand for tax purposes.

  • 1.18 The below taxation summary and the taxation summary in Schedule Four:

  • (a) is necessarily general in nature and is not exhaustive of all Australian and New Zealand tax consequences that could apply in all circumstances for NZ Augusta Shareholders;

  • (b) does not constitute legal, tax or financial product advice; and

  • (c) is confined to taxation issues and is only one of the matters you need to consider when making a decision about your investments.

  • 1.19 It is strongly recommended that each NZ Augusta Shareholder seeks their own independent professional tax advice applicable to their particular circumstances.

New Zealand Tax

Transfer of Augusta Shares by NZ Augusta Shareholders

  • 1.20 The NZ Augusta Shareholders will dispose of the Augusta Shares in consideration for

  • Centuria Stapled Securities and cash. The tax treatment of gains (or losses), equivalent to

  • cash received and/or market value of Centuria Stapled Securities, arising on disposal of the Augusta Shares will depend on whether the NZ Augusta Shareholders have held the Augusta Shares on capital or revenue account.

  • 1.21 If the Augusta Shares were held on revenue account, gains on disposal will be subject to tax at the NZ Augusta Shareholder’s marginal income tax rate (losses could be offset against other items of income). Broadly, an Augusta Share will be held on revenue account, if the Augusta Shareholder:

  • (a) derives an amount from the sale of investments from carrying on or carrying out a profit-making undertaking or scheme;

  • (b) acquired the investments for the purpose of disposing of them;

  • (c) is engaged in the business of dealing in investments of this nature; or

  • (d) the investments are otherwise held on revenue account.

  • 1.22 Where Augusta Shares are held on capital account, any gains on disposal or redemption of Augusta Shares will not be taxable. Such classification is fact-specific and may vary on a case-to-case basis. NZ Augusta Shareholders should retain appropriate documentation which may support the capital or revenue classification of their Augusta Shares.

68

Going forward

  • 1.23 Going forward (on receipt of Centuria Stapled Securities), NZ Augusta Shareholders are likely to be taxed under the Foreign Investment Fund ( “FIF” ) regime in respect of the Centuria Stapled Securities, subject to conditions. For further information on the tax implications associated with Centuria Stapled Securities (under the FIF regime or otherwise) see the “Taxation” row in the “Centuria Stapled Securities” column of Schedule Four of this Offer Document.

Australian Tax

  • 1.24 The below provides a general summary of the Australian income tax, capital gains tax ( “CGT” ), goods and services tax ( “GST” ) and stamp duty implications of the Offer for NZ Augusta Shareholders that will hold the Centuria Stapled Securities on capital account.

  • 1.25 The below comments from paragraph 1.26 to 1.35 of this Schedule Two of this Offer Document do not apply to you if you:

  • (a) are not a resident of New Zealand for tax purposes;

  • (b) hold your Centuria Stapled Securities as revenue assets or trading stock;

  • (c) are subject to the taxation of financial arrangements (the ‘TOFA provisions’) in Division 230 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (Australia) in relation to the Centuria Stapled Securities; or

  • (d) acquired the Centuria Stapled Securities in respect of which the Offer is issued under any employee share scheme or where the Centuria Stapled Securities are acquired pursuant to any employee share scheme.

Acquisition of Centuria Stapled Securities

  • 1.26 On NZ Augusta Shareholders receiving Centuria Stapled Securities, each of the securities comprising the Centuria Stapled Securities will constitute a separate asset for CGT

  • purposes (i.e. the fully paid ordinary share in CCL and the fully paid unit in the CNI Fund are each treated as a separate CGT asset).

  • 1.27 The total cost base (and reduced cost base) of the Centuria Stapled Securities should be equal to the Offer price (plus certain non-deductible incidental costs incurred in acquiring the Centuria Stapled Securities) that is attributable to the Centuria Stapled Securities. The total cost base (and reduced cost base) should be allocated across the securities that comprise the Centuria Stapled Securities on a reasonable basis.

  • 1.28 Each of the securities comprising the Centuria Stapled Securities will be taken to be acquired on the day the NZ Augusta Shareholders validly accept the Offer under the terms of the Offer, to the extent the NZ Augusta Shareholder receives Centuria Stapled Securities under the Offer.

  • 1.29 No Australian GST or stamp duty should be payable by NZ Augusta Shareholders in respect of the acquisition of Centuria Stapled Securities under the Offer.

Distributions on new Centuria Stapled Securities

  • 1.30 In relation to distributions made on CCL Shares:

  • (a) Unfranked dividend distributions should be subject to a default dividend withholding tax at 30%. If the Australia and New Zealand Double Tax Agreement applies, the dividend withholding tax rate may be 15%, 5% or 0% depending on the specific circumstances of the NZ Augusta Shareholder.

69

  • (b) Fully franked dividend distributions should not be subject to any dividend withholding tax.

  • (c) Returns of capital should not be subject to any withholding tax. However in certain circumstances, section 45B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) (Australia) can apply to treat certain amounts (i.e. a return of capital) as unfranked dividend distributions for tax purposes (i.e. as a ‘deemed dividend’), which would be subject to dividend withholding tax.

  • 1.31 In relation to distributions made on CNI Units:

  • (a) The responsible entity of the CNI Fund, CFML, has made an irrevocable election to adopt the Attribution Managed Investment Trust ( “AMIT” ) regime. CFML as the responsible entity of the CNI Fund intends to attribute the taxable income of the CNI Fund to its unitholders on a fair and reasonable basis each income year.

  • (b) On the basis that the CNI Fund undertakes only eligible investment business activities (i.e. passive investment activities such as investing in land for the purpose/primarily for the purpose of deriving rent), the CNI Fund should retain its flow-through tax treatment.

  • (c) In respect of each income year, distributions received by a NZ Augusta Shareholder should be subject to a final withholding tax depending on the nature of the income, as follows.

    • (i) To the extent the distribution to a NZ Augusta Shareholder comprises of a fund payment (e.g. rental income), this will be subject to a final 15% Managed Investment Trust ( “MIT” ) withholding tax. A fund payment is generally defined as the taxable income of the trust excluding dividends, interest, royalty, non-Australian sourced income, capital gains or capital loss from a CGT event that relate to a CGT asset that is not taxable Australian property and any deductions relating to these excluded amounts.

    • (ii) To the extent the distribution to a NZ Augusta Shareholder comprises of dividend income, the income tax treatment will generally be the same as the income tax treatment of dividend distributions on CCL Shares above.

    • (iii) To the extent the distribution to a NZ Augusta Shareholder comprises of interest income, this income will be subject to a default 10% withholding tax.

    • (iv) To the extent the distribution to a NZ Augusta Shareholder comprises of royalty income, this income will be subject to a default 30% withholding tax. If the Australia and New Zealand Double Tax Agreement applies, the royalty withholding tax rate may be reduced to 5%.

The composition between fund payment amounts, dividend income, interest income or royalty income for each distribution made by Centuria will be outlined in a Fund Payment Notice to be published on Centuria’s website in accordance with Subdivision 12-H of the Taxation Administration Act 1953 (Australia) .

70

  • (d) The cost base of the CNI Units to be held by a NZ Augusta Shareholder should increase where the cash distribution made by CNI Fund is less than the taxable income attributed to the NZ Augusta Shareholder for the relevant period. Conversely, the cost base of the CNI Units should reduce where the taxable income attributed is less than the cash distribution for the same period (i.e. a non-assessable distribution). The cost base and reduced cost base of the CNI Units should be reduced by the amount of the non-assessable payment. In the event that the non-assessable distribution exceeds a NZ Augusta Shareholder’s cost base in their CNI Units, a capital gain should arise and the cost base (and reduced cost base) of the CNI Units are reduced to nil.

Disposal of Centuria Stapled Securities

  • 1.32 On disposal of a Centuria Stapled Security, you will make a capital gain if the capital proceeds on disposal exceed the total cost base of the Centuria Stapled Security. You will make a capital loss if the capital proceeds are less than the total reduced cost base of the Centuria Stapled Security.

  • 1.33 As each individual security comprising a Centuria Stapled Security is a separate CGT asset, the disposal of a Centuria Stapled Security will constitute a disposal, for CGT purposes, of each individual security (i.e. the CCL Shares and the CNI Units) comprising that Centuria Stapled Security. Accordingly, the capital proceeds referable to the disposal of each individual security will need to be determined by apportioning the total capital proceeds received in respect of the disposal of the Centuria Stapled Securities on a reasonable basis. One reasonable way to determine the allocation of capital proceeds is to apply a Net Tangible Asset approach in respect of the CCL Shares and CNI Units. Information is included on Centuria’s website to assist with calculating the apportionment in line with this approach.

  • (a) In relation to the disposal of CCL Shares, any capital gain or capital loss may be disregarded to the extent the CCL Shares are not considered taxable Australian property.

  • (b) In relation to the disposal of CNI Units, any capital gain or capital loss should not be able to be disregarded as the CNI Units are likely to be considered taxable Australian property.

  • 1.34 The CGT discount should generally not be applicable for NZ Augusta Shareholders to the

  • extent they are an individual and not an Australian tax resident at any point in time during the period in which they hold the Centuria Stapled Securities.

  • 1.35 If a capital loss arises on disposal of the Centuria Stapled Securities, the capital loss can only be used to offset capital gains. The capital loss cannot be used to offset ordinary income. However, the capital loss can be carried forward to use in future income years if the loss cannot be used in a particular income year, provided (in the case of a corporate investor) certain tests are satisfied.

The Takeovers Code (NZ) prohibits a person, together with that person’s associates, from becoming the holder or controller of more than 20% of the voting rights in Augusta, unless an exception applies.

The key exceptions are for:

  • increases in voting control by way of a takeover offer; or

  • with the prior approval of the holders of Augusta Shares,

in each case in compliance with the Takeovers Code (NZ) .

A takeover offer can either be a full takeover offer or a partial takeover offer.

A full takeover offer is an offer by a bidder to acquire all of the equity securities in Augusta.

A partial takeover offer is an offer by a bidder to acquire a specified proportion of the voting securities in Augusta.

A bidder who makes a takeover offer must make the offer on the same terms and provide the same consideration for all securities belonging to the same class of securities in Augusta.

In most cases, a bidder cannot declare a takeover offer unconditional unless the offer will result in the bidder controlling more than 50% of the voting rights in Augusta.

A person that holds or controls more than 50% but less than 90% of the voting rights in Augusta can ‘creep’ by acquiring up to 5% more than the lowest percentage of voting control in the 12 month period ending on the date of the increase, in compliance with the Takeovers Code (NZ).

Compulsory acquisition

A person who becomes the holder or controller of 90% or more of the voting rights in Augusta is entitled to compulsorily acquire all of the remaining equity securities in Augusta in accordance with the Takeovers Code (NZ) (which sets out procedural rules for compulsory acquisition, including how the compulsory acquisition price is set).

Centuria is subject to the Financial Sector (Shareholdings) Act 1998 (Australia) ( � ���� ��� ��� and the Corporations Act (Australia) .

The FSS Act regulates the control of "financial sector companies", which includes Centuria as it is the holding company of Centuria Life Limited (a life insurance company). In general terms, a person is restricted from holding a “stake” (generally direct control interests in Centuria by a person and the person's associates) in Centuria of more than 20% unless a higher percentage limit has been approved by the Australian Treasurer.

The Corporations Act (Australia) prohibits a person from acquiring voting securities if that acquisition would result in that person's, or any other person's, voting power in the company or managed investment scheme exceeding 20%, unless an exception applies. The key exceptions are for:

  • increases in voting control by way of a takeover offer or a court approved scheme of arrangement;

  • with the prior approval of the holders of voting securities in the target; or

  • a ‘creep’ of up to 3% more of the voting power held as at a date 6 months before the date of the acquisition,

in each case in compliance with the Corporations Act (Australia) . A takeover offer can be:

  • an off-market bid (in which an individual offer is made to each target securityholder); or

  • a market bid (in which the bidder acquires target securities onmarket).

The takeover offer must be for all or a proportion of the securities in the bid class.

A full takeover offer is an offer by a bidder to acquire all of the equity securities in the target.

A proportional offer is an offer by a bidder to acquire a specified proportion of the voting securities in the target (which must be the same for all holders of securities in the bid class).

Compulsory acquisition

A bidder can compulsorily acquire the voting securities of a minority if a takeover offer has been made for all of those securities and during or at the end of the offer period, the bidder and associates have relevant interests in 90% or more of the securities by number in the relevant class, and the bidder and associates have acquired at least 75% by number of the securities that the bidder offered to acquire under the bid.

Alternatively, a person who alone or through related companies beneficially owns 90% by value of the Centuria Stapled Securities may compulsorily acquire the remainder by a cash payment that represents a “fair value” for those securities.

In either case, the compulsory acquisitions must be made in accordance with the Corporations Act (Australia) (which sets out procedural rules for compulsory acquisition, including how the compulsory acquisition price is set). According to CCL's constitution, any proportional takeover scheme must be approved by those members holding shares included in the class of shares in respect of which the offer to acquire those shares was first made. The registration of the transfer of any shares following the acceptance of an offer made under a scheme is prohibited until that scheme is approved by the relevant members. The approving resolution is passed if more than 50% of the votes cast on the resolution are cast in favour of the resolution, and otherwise is taken to have been rejected. Takeover by scheme of arrangement A takeover by scheme of arrangement involving Centuria would require the approval of an Australian Federal or State Supreme Court and Centuria Securityholder approval which must satisfy the following voting thresholds: • a 75% majority of the votes cast; and • a majority of holders voting.

Dividend income for NZ Augusta Shareholders from Centuria Stapled Securities:

  • NZ Augusta Shareholders are likely to be taxed under the FIF regime for holding their Centuria Stapled Securities if none of the exemptions discussed below apply.

  • If FIF rules apply:

  • There are five different methods for calculating income of a New Zealand resident in respect of a FIF. The method, if eligible, is chosen by taxpayer election. New Zealand shareholders will be limited on which FIF method to apply based on the information available to calculate the FIF income as well as their eligibility to apply the methods.

  • Where the FIF rules apply, the dividends are not taxable in New Zealand under most of the applicable FIF methods.

  • This means that FIF rules can result in ‘dry’ income being attributed to CNI Stapled Securities, i.e. each security holder will be taxed as per the calculation method used to compute FIF income regardless of whether any cash distributions are received or not.

  • Taxes withheld (if any) on distributions could be available as tax credits in New Zealand, subject to certain conditions.

Please refer to above paragraphs ������� ��������������������������� to ������� ��������������������������� of Schedule Two for more detailed comments.

In relation to distributions made on CCL Shares:

  • Unfranked dividend distributions should be subject to a default dividend withholding tax at 30%. If the Australia and New Zealand Double Tax Agreement applies, the dividend withholding tax rate can be 15%, 5% or 0% depending on the specific circumstances of the NZ Augusta Shareholder.

  • Fully franked dividend distributions should not be subject to any dividend withholding tax.

  • Returns of capital should not be subject to any withholding tax. However in certain circumstances, section 45B of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) (Australia) can apply to treat certain amounts (i.e. a return of capital) as unfranked dividends for tax purposes (i.e. as a ‘deemed dividend’), which would be subject to dividend withholding tax.

  • In relation to distributions made on CNI Units:

  • In respect of each income year, distributions received by a NZ Augusta Shareholder should be subject to a final withholding tax depending on the nature of the income, as follows.

  • o To the extent the distribution to a NZ Augusta Shareholder comprises of a fund payment (e.g. rental income), this will be subject to a final 15% Managed Investment Trust (“MIT”) withholding tax. A fund payment is generally defined as the taxable income of the trust excluding dividends, interest, royalty, non-Australian sourced income, capital gains or capital loss from a CGT event that relate to a CGT asset that is not taxable Australian property and any deductions relating to these excluded amounts.

To the extent the distribution to a

NZ Augusta Shareholder comprises
of royalty income, this income will

The cost base of the CNI Units to be held
by a NZ Augusta Shareholder should
increase where the cash distribution
made by CNI Fund is less than the taxable
income attributed to the NZ Augusta
Shareholder for the relevant period.
Conversely, the cost base of the CNI
Units should reduce where the taxable
income attributed is less than the cash
distribution for the same period (i.e. a
non-assessable distribution). The cost
base and reduced cost base of the CNI
Units should be reduced by the amount of
the non-assessable payment. In the
event that the non-assessable
distribution exceeds a NZ Augusta
Shareholder’s cost base (and reduced
cost base) in their CNI Units, a capital
gain should arise and the cost base (and
reduced cost base) of the CNI Units are
reduced to nil.
In relation to the disposal of CCL Shares, any
capital gain or capital loss may be disregarded
to the extent the CCL Shares are not
considered taxable Australian property.
In relation to the disposal of CNI Units, any
capital gain or capital loss should not be able
to be disregarded as the CNI Units are likely to

SCHEDULE FIVE

Centuria Corporate governance arrangements

Centuria has a stapled structure in which each CCL Share is stapled to a CNI Unit.

CCL and CNI Fund are listed as a stapled entity on the Australian Securities Exchange ( “ASX” ). Accordingly, each of CCL and CFML (in its capacity as responsible entity for CNI Fund) are required to prepare a corporate governance statement. A copy of the most recent statement is available on request from Centuria or on ASX’s website (www.asx.com.au).

The role of the board

The directors of CCL are the same as the directors of CFML, as are the members of their various board committees.

For these reasons, the corporate governance arrangements adopted for CCL are identical to those adopted by CFML for CNI Fund, unless a change is required due to CNI Fund being a trust and CCL being a company.

The boards of directors ( “Board” ) of CCL and CFML are responsible for setting the strategic direction and establishing the policies of Centuria. It is responsible for overseeing the financial position, and for monitoring the business and affairs of Centuria on behalf of the security holders, by whom the directors are elected and to whom they are accountable. It also addresses issues relating to internal controls and approaches to risk management. It ensures that there are processes in place to conform to legal requirements and corporate governance standards and that risk exposures are adequately managed.

Delegation to Senior Executives

The role of the Joint Chief Executive Officers ( “Joint CEOs” ) and Senior Executives is to manage Centuria in accordance with the directions given by the Board. The Joint CEO’s responsibilities include:

  • formulating and reviewing, with the Board, the vision and strategy for Centuria;

  • developing actions and plans to achieve the vision and implement the strategy and to report to

  • the Board on the progress against those plans;

  • appointing a management team and negotiating terms and conditions of their employment; and

  • approving the remuneration levels of all staff.

Structure of the Board

Currently the Board consists of seven directors. Four of the seven directors, namely Garry Charny, John Slater, Peter Done and Susan Wheeldon-Steele are considered to be independent as per the independence criteria set out in the Board Charter.

The CCL constitution stipulates that a number of directors not exceeding one-third of their number should retire by rotation at each annual general meeting ( “AGM” ). A Director must offer himself or herself for re-election at the third AGM since their election or re-election. If there is more than one CEO, who is also a director, only one is entitled not to be subject to the retirement by rotation process, and is not included when calculating the number of Directors required to retire by rotation.

Centuria has a policy to review and assess the performance of its Board, committees and directors each financial year. The review includes assessing the Board’s:

  • performance relative to achieving its obligations and meeting its responsibilities;

  • success in setting strategies of the Board and the business; and

  • operation, including communication processes and its conduct of Board meetings and discussion.

92

The performance of the Joint CEOs is reviewed annually by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee of the Board. This assessment is made against pre-determined criteria including key performance indicators relating to Centuria’s performance as determined in Centuria’s strategic plan.

Nomination and remuneration of the Board

The Nomination and Remuneration Committee formulates criteria for appointment of the directors of the Board, identifies potential candidates and recommends remuneration of directors and senior management.

Specific activities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee include:

  • annual review of Board composition to ensure that the necessary skills are represented, together with the appropriate continuity and balance;

  • assessment of the effectiveness and composition of Board committees;

  • regular evaluation of the performance of the Joint CEOs; and

  • ensuring that other human resource management programs, including performance assessment programs, are in place.

The Board regularly reviews the skills, knowledge and experience represented on the Board against the skills and experience needed to deliver Centuria’s strategy. The Board uses a skills matrix as part of its Board review process described above to assist with the review.

The Centuria remuneration policy assists Centuria to achieve its business strategy and objectives. Centuria recognises that, while remuneration is a key factor in recruiting the right people, it is not the only factor. Centuria’s values and its ability to provide interesting and challenging career opportunities also plays an important role.

Centuria aims to reward senior management with a level and mix of remuneration commensurate with their position and responsibilities within Centuria so as to:

  • reward senior management for company, business unit and individual performance against targets set by reference to appropriate benchmarks;

  • align the interests of the senior management with those of stakeholders;

  • link rewards with the strategic goals and performance of Centuria; and

  • ensure total remuneration is competitive by market standards.

Executive directors are paid a salary commensurate with their position and responsibilities and at a level which attracts high calibre executives with appropriate skills and experience. Executive directors also participate in Centuria’s long-term and short-term incentive plans.

The Board has established a policy relating to the remuneration of non-executive directors. Centuria pays non-executive directors fees at a level which is sufficient to attract individuals with the appropriate skills, and to fairly reimburse those directors for services provided. Non-executive directors’ remuneration does not include incentive schemes or performance related payments.

93

By way of comparison of director remuneration arrangements between Centuria and Augusta is set out below:

CENTURIA

Non-executive director remuneration pool - An aggregate maximum amount, payable to Centuria directors, of not more than AU$2,000,000 per year was approved at the 2017 Centuria Annual General Meeting. Total aggregate non-executive director remuneration for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 was an aggregate of AU$788,550 (including all benefits).

Directors and Employees Code of Conduct

The Board has established a Directors and Employee Code of Conduct that sets the standard by which all officers and employees of Centuria are to conduct themselves in the course of their duties. Potential breaches of the Code of Conduct can be reported to management the Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee or an external auditor in accordance with procedures outlined in a whistleblower policy implemented by the Board.

Risk management and internal control

The Joint CEOs and Chief Financial Officer have declared in writing to the Board for both the half-year (dated 12 February 2020) and full-year (dated 13 August 2019) financial statements that the declaration provided, which is in accordance with section 295A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)(Australia) , is founded on a sound system of risk management and internal control and that the system is operating effectively in all material respects in relation to financial reporting risks.

The Board has established a risk management framework for Centuria, a summary of which can be viewed under the Corporate Governance page of Centuria’s website. Risk management is an integral part of the governance of Centuria and is one of the main responsibilities of the Board and senior management. The Board is ultimately responsible for approving and reviewing Centuria’s risk management framework. The monitoring and management of risk on an ongoing basis is the responsibility of management as represented by the heads of respective business units of Centuria.

The management of risk is continually addressed during the year at the business unit level. Periodically, a review of the effectiveness of Centuria’s risk management framework is undertaken. Combined with this is an embedded compliance culture to ensure Centuria meets the requirements of the ASIC for conducting a financial services business and operating managed investment schemes. A robust compliance framework has been implemented which requires the business to monitor its activities and those of its outsourced service providers.

Centuria has established an Audit, Risk Management & Compliance Committee ( “ARMCC” ). The ARMCC consist of three independent directors and is chaired by an independent chair who is not the chair of Centuria’s Board. All members are financially literate, either holding financial or accounting qualifications and/or having professional experience in a financial or accounting related field.

94

The ARMCC has the following risk management responsibilities:

  • assessing risks arising from Centuria’s operation and ensuring the adequacy of measures taken to moderate those risks;

  • reviewing and assessing the effectiveness of Centuria’s risk management framework and internal

  • control practices and ensuring there is continuous process for the management of significant risks throughout Centuria; and

  • monitoring compliance with Centuria’s risk management framework.

The compliance function at Centuria reports directly to the ARMCC and the Board.

An internal audit function has been established with a focus on Centuria’s control environment. The annual internal audit plan is determined having regards to the risk profile of the business arising from the annual business risk review.

Disclosure obligations

Centuria is committed to fair and open disclosure and has adopted policies and procedures to ensure that Centuria meets its disclosure obligations under the Corporations Act (Australia) and the ASX Listing Rules. The focus of these policies and procedures is to give effect to Centuria’s commitment to:

  • prevent the selective or inadvertent disclosure of price sensitive information;

  • ensure that security holders and the market are provided with full and timely information about its activities; and

  • ensure that all market participants have equal opportunity to receive externally available information issued by Centuria.

Responsibility for compliance with Centuria’s continuous disclosure obligations rests with the company secretary. Price sensitive information is publicly released through the ASX before disclosing it to analysts or others outside Centuria. Information is posted on Centuria’s website as soon as reasonably practicable after the ASX confirms an announcement has been made, with the aim of making the information accessible to the widest audience.

Information rights of the security holders of Centuria Stapled Securities

Centuria aims to provide prompt, accurate and accessible information to its security holders. It has established a communications policy detailing steps to be taken to achieve this objective, a copy of which can be viewed at https:/centuria.com.au/centuria-capital/corporate/corporate-governance/.
