SOURCE OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION
This section describes some of the key financial indicators which will assist investors in assessing the financial position and strength of the Group and the Peet Group. In addition to these key financial indicators, you should review the Group’s financial statements contained in Peet’s 2015 Annual Report and the Group’s financial statements for the half-year ended 31 December 2015.
You must refer to Section 3.8.2 of the Base Prospectus which describes the Key Financial Ratios.
The table below sets out the prescribed Key Financial Ratios (Gearing Ratio, Interest Cover Ratio and Working Capital Ratio) which are calculated on the basis prescribed by the Corporations Act and Corporations Regulation 6D.2.06. The intended purpose of this requirement is to give an indication of the capacity of an issuer to meet its obligations to holders under the bonds.
The ratios are based on the Group’s financial information for the years ended 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2015 and the half-year ended 31 December 2015 and for the pro forma half-year ended 31 December 2015 (assuming a raising of $75 million):

The Peet Gearing Ratio is used in the limitation on debt incurrence covenant contained in Clause 4.2 of the Base Terms.
The other relevant financial ratios are based on the Peet Group’s financial information for the years ended 30 June 2014 and 30 June 2015 and the half-year ended 31 December 2015 and for the pro forma half-year ended 31 December 2015 (assuming a raising of $75 million):

Subsequent to 31 December 2015, maturity was extended to 31 May 2016. The Peet syndicate borrower is in discussions with the relevant lender to further extend the due date of this facility.
The issue of the Bonds and the redemption of the Peet Convertible Notes under the Reinvestment Offer will have the effect of lengthening the debt maturity profile of the Peet Group. The resulting debt maturity profile may reduce the Peet Group’s exposure to refinancing risk in the coming years.
The Peet Group’s existing external debt facilities and their maturities, assuming the issue of $75 million in Bonds and the redemption of the Peet Convertible Notes on a pro-forma basis as at 31 December 2015, are as follows:

4.2 PEET CONVERTIBLE NOTES REINVESTMENT OFFER
The Peet Convertible Notes are unsecured convertible notes which were issued by Peet in 2011. The Peet Convertible Notes trade on ASX under the code ‘PPCG’.
(a) Eligibility to participate in the Reinvestment Offer
The following holders of the Peet Convertible Notes are eligible to participate in the Reinvestment Offer (“ Eligible Peet Convertible Notes holders ”):
-
registered holders of the Peet Convertible Notes trading on ASX at 7.00 pm (Perth time) on Wednesday, 27 April 2016 (the “ Reinvestment Record Date ”);
-
holders who are shown on the register of holders of Peet Convertible Notes as having an address in Australia (or another jurisdiction to which Peet determines to extend the Reinvestment Offer); and
-
holders who are not in the United States or a US person, acting as a nominee for, or for the account or benefit of, a US person, and who are not otherwise prevented from receiving the Offer under the laws of any jurisdiction as determined by Peet.
(b) What is the Reinvestment Offer?
The Reinvestment Offer is an option available to Eligible Peet Convertible Notes holders to apply for Bonds and fund their subscription for Bonds by selling to Peet some or all of their Peet Convertible Notes.
Peet Convertible Notes which are not sold to Peet under the Reinvestment Offer will be redeemed for cash on 16 June 2016 (the scheduled maturity date of the Peet Convertible Notes) at which time holders of Peet Convertible Notes who do not participate in the Reinvestment Offer will receive the face value plus any accrued and unpaid interest to that date for each Peet Convertible Note held.
The Reinvestment Offer is not a rollover into a similar investment. The Peet Convertible Notes and the Bonds have different benefits and risks, which must be evaluated independently. The key differences include the following:
-
The current coupon on the Peet Convertible Notes is 9.5 per cent. As a consequence of the change in market conditions since 2011 when the Peet Convertible Notes were issued, the coupon for the Bonds of [••] per cent is less than the coupon on the Peet Convertible Notes.
-
The Peet Convertible Notes are convertible into ordinary shares of the Issuer in the circumstances described in their terms. The Bonds are not convertible.
-
The Maturity Date for the Bonds is 7 June 2021. The maturity date for the Peet Convertible Notes is 16 June 2016.
-
The Bonds have additional redemption events and contain covenants.
Refer to Section 4.2(f) below for further consideration of the differences between the Peet Convertible Notes and the Bonds.
Eligible Peet Convertible Notes holders who elect to participate in the Reinvestment Offer will sell their Peet Convertible Notes to Peet for $100 plus the “Accrued Interest Amount” per Peet Convertible Note sold to Peet.
The “ Accrued Interest Amount ” is an amount per Peet Convertible Note payable to each Eligible 2011 Note holder who elects to participate in the Reinvestment Offer in compensation for the interest the holder would have received for the 174 day period from (and including) 16 December 2015 to (but excluding) the Issue Date for the Bonds (being 7 June 2016) (the “ Stub Period ”). The Accrued Interest Amount will be calculated on the Peet Convertible Notes current coupon of 9.5 per cent per annum for the Stub Period. Assuming the Issue Date is 7 June 2016 and based on an interest rate applicable to the Stub Period of 9.5 per cent per annum, the Accrued Interest Amount would be $4.5288 per Peet Convertible Note.
$100 of the proceeds of the sale of a Peet Convertible Note to Peet will be applied to fund the subscription for a Bond and the participating Eligible Peet Convertible Notes holder will receive an amount per Peet Convertible Note sold equal to the sum of the Accrued Interest Amount.

this option, you should contact your broker.
If you sell your Peet Convertible Notes on market and use the proceeds to apply for Bonds,
you will need to apply under the Peet Offer or Broker Firm Offer and there is a risk you may
not receive the level of allocation you may have through participation in the Reinvestment
Offer.
The market price of Peet Convertible Notes is subject to change from time to time. As at
the close of trading on 29 April 2016, the market price per Peet Convertible Note was $103.
Up-to-date information about the market price of Peet Convertible Notes can be obtained
from asx.com.au (ASX code ‘PPCG’).
If you sell your Peet Convertible Notes on market you may have to pay brokerage and your
ability to sell and the price at which you sell your Peet Convertible Notes depends on the
liquidity of the market and the trading price at that time.
Option 4 – take no action You are not required to participate in the Reinvestment Offer, or to sell your Peet
Convertible Notes on market and as such, you are not required to take any action.
----- End of picture text -----
(d) Eligible Peet Convertible Notes holders who are also clients of Syndicate Brokers
Eligible Peet Convertible Notes holders who are either an Australian resident retail or a high-net-worth client of a Syndicate Broker may apply for Bonds through the Reinvestment Offer or under the Broker Firm Offer.

(g) Risks associated with participating in the Reinvestment Offer
Once you apply to participate in the Reinvestment Offer, you will not be able to sell your Peet Convertible Notes on market. If you apply to participate in the Reinvestment Offer, it is your responsibility to ensure that you do not sell or dispose of any of those Peet Convertible Notes in respect of which you have applied to participate, other than as part of the Reinvestment Offer.
If you apply to participate in the Reinvestment Offer you are taken to agree to a holding lock being placed on the Peet Convertible Notes you have elected to sell, pending completion of the Reinvestment Offer—but it is your obligation to ensure that you do not transfer those Peet Convertible Notes. If you do, the number of Bonds you may be allocated will be reduced to the extent the required number of Peet Convertible Notes are not available on the Closing Date of the Reinvestment Offer.
Once you have submitted an Application Form under the Reinvestment Offer, you will not be able to successfully deal with those Peet Convertible Notes unless the holding lock which will be placed on those Peet Convertible Notes is released (which will only occur if the Offer does not proceed).
If you elect to participate in the Reinvestment Offer but the Offer (including the Reinvestment Offer) does not proceed, those Peet Convertible Notes that you elected to sell to Peet to fund a subscription for Bonds will be released from the holding lock as soon as practicable.
Once released, you can sell your Peet Convertible Notes on ASX at the prevailing market price subject to the liquidity of that market. Any application payment in respect of additional Bonds will be refunded to you. Peet Convertible Notes not sold to Peet under the Reinvestment Offer (and not sold on the ASX) will remain outstanding until redeemed by Peet on 16 June 2016.
(h) Brokerage and stamp duty
No brokerage or stamp duty is payable on the sale of your Peet Convertible Notes to Peet under the Reinvestment Offer or your application for Bonds.
Peet Convertible Notes holders who choose to sell their Peet Convertible Notes on market may be required to pay any applicable brokerage.

included in the assessable income of the Australian resident holder, usually in the year of
income in which the holder becomes entitled to receive the proceeds of sale.

Convertible Notes (where the amount received on sale is less than the cost of subscribing
for or purchasing the Peet Convertible Notes), would be an allowable deduction, usually in

rules applicable to “traditional securities” for the purposes of the Australian Tax Act. Any
gain made on the redemption of the Peet Convertible Notes (where the amount received
on redemption exceeds the cost of subscription for, or purchasing, the Peet Convertible
Notes), would be included in the assessable income of the Australian resident holder,
usually in the year of income in which the holder becomes entitled to receive the proceeds
of the redemption.
As the gain would be included in the assessable income of the Australian resident holder,
