This Retail Entitlement Offer forms the final part of the NZ$19.7 million (A$18.4 million) institutional placement (‘ Institutional Placement ’) and accelerated entitlement offer (‘ Entitlement Offer ’) first announced on 28 July 2020. The Institutional Placement and the institutional component of the Entitlement Offer has already been successfully completed as announced on 30 July 2020.

The new fully paid ordinary shares in IKE (‘ New Shares ’) offered under the Retail Entitlement Offer are expected to commence trading on 19 August 2020 on NZX and 20 August 2020 on ASX and will rank equally with existing fully paid ordinary shares.
