Status and ranking of the Notes: Notes will be direct, senior, unsubordinated and (subject to Condition 5.1 ("Negative pledge")) unsecured obligations of the Issuer and will at all times rank at least equally with all other present and future direct, senior, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer (including, without limitation, the simple corporate bonds issued by the Issuer on 7 June 2016 and 5 July 2017), except liabilities mandatorily preferred by law.

The providers of the Issuer's senior secured debt facility and any other secured creditors permitted under the Conditions will have the benefit of the security provided by the Issuer to secure its obligations to them. Consequently, claims of any Noteholder will effectively rank after the claims of these secured creditors.

Status and ranking of the Guarantee: The Notes will be unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Guarantors under the Guarantee, subject to the release of a Guarantor and the addition of new entities as Guarantors as set out in the Note Trust Deed.

The obligations of each Guarantor under the Guarantee will be direct, senior, unsubordinated and (subject to Condition 5.1 ("Negative pledge")) unsecured obligations of that Guarantor and will at all times rank at least equally with all other present and future direct, senior, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of that Guarantor, except liabilities mandatorily preferred by law.

The Issuer will ensure that:

  • (a) at all times, the group of Guarantors will include each entity which provides a guarantee of any of the Group's indebtedness owing under any syndicated or other term loan arrangement (excluding any loan made by the Issuer to a Guarantor or a Guarantor to the Issuer) ("Term Loans"); and
  • (b) if, at any time, the Group repays all outstanding Term Loans, then the Issuer will ensure that the group of Guarantors includes each entity which provided such a guarantee immediately prior to the repayment of such indebtedness.

If a Guarantor at any time ceases to provide a guarantee of any outstanding Term Loans, such Guarantor will be released from the Guarantee in accordance with the Note Trust Deed.

The providers of the Issuer's senior secured debt facility and any other permitted secured creditors under the Conditions will have the benefit of the security provided by the Guarantors to secure their obligations to them. Consequently, claims of any holder of the Notes will rank after the claims of these secured creditors.

Interest: Each Note bears interest on its outstanding principal amount from (and including) its Interest Commencement Date to (but excluding) its Maturity Date

(unless redeemed earlier) at the Interest Rate.

Description of the Issuer's business

Peet Limited ("Peet" or the "Company"), founded in 1895, is one of Australia's largest pure-play listed residential land developers. Peet acquires, develops and markets residential land, with a focus on creating high-quality master-planned residential communities for homebuyers across Australia, with the delivery of affordable product targeted at the low and middle market segments.

The Peet business model consists of three core areas of income generation including:

  • funds management;
  • joint ventures; and
  • development of Company-owned projects.

Peet was listed on the ASX in 2004 (ASX Ticker: PPC). As at 25 March 2019, Peet had a market capitalisation of approximately A$464.1 million. This represents an implied enterprise value of approximately A$654.5 million based on a net debt position as at 31 December 2018 of A$190.4 million.

Peet has a sizeable and diversified land bank which is strategically located in the growth corridors of major cities across all of Australia's mainland states and territories. The diversity is both geographic and across Peet's funds management, joint ventures and development businesses and enables Peet to manage the variable market conditions around the country.

With a focus on creating high-quality, master-planned residential communities, Peet also builds or facilitates the provision of infrastructure and amenities that support communities, like roads, parks and other public open spaces, schools, neighbourhood centres and services, ensuring homes are integrated with existing landscapes, industries and communities.

Peet is also broadening its product offering to completed homes, medium density and low-rise apartments and as at 31 December 2018, has a pipeline of approximately 650 townhouses with an expected gross development value of A$280 million in major population centres of Brisbane, Melbourne, Adelaide and Perth.

As at 31 December 2018, Peet's total land bank was 50,156 lots with an on-completion value of approximately A$14 billion across 60 projects nationally. The land bank represents approximately 17 years' lot supply based on current sales rates. The average age of Peet's land bank is approximately 8 years.

An overview of some of the projects owned and/or managed by Peet nationally is outlined on the map below:

An overview of Peet's land bank by business type and geography as at 31 December 2018 is outlined in the charts below, with 'capital-lite' funds management and joint venture projects accounting for approximately 80% of Peet's land bank by number and gross development value.

Funds management

Peet manages a number of projects on behalf of land syndicates and under development management and co-investment arrangements.

Peet enters into asset and funds management agreements with external capital providers. Peet and/or the external capital provider commit equity funds towards the acquisition of land and this is generally supplemented with debt funds either at the time of acquisition or during the development phase of a project.

Peet derives fees from underwriting, capital raising and asset identification services. Ongoing project related fees (mainly project management and selling fees as well as performance fees) are then derived by Peet for the duration of a particular project.

The funds management portfolio comprises more than half of Peet's total portfolio by number of lots – with a gross development value of approximately A$7.8 billion as at 31 December 2018 (27,345 lots). Funds management represented 34% of 1H19 EBITDA.

Joint ventures

Peet has a number of high-profile joint venture projects across its portfolio, including the Village at Wellard in WA, Brabham in WA, Lightsview in SA, Googong in NSW/ACT, Redbank Plains in QLD and University of Canberra in ACT.

Joint arrangements are entered into with government, statutory authorities and private landowners. The form of these arrangements can vary from project to project but generally involves Peet undertaking the development of land on behalf of the landowner or in conjunction with the co-owner. Peet is typically entitled to ongoing fees for management of the development project and also a share of the profits.

The joint venture portfolio comprises 22% of Peet's total portfolio by number of lots – with a gross development value of approximately A$3.4 billion as at 31 December 2018 (11,135 lots). Joint ventures represented 14% of 1H19 EBITDA.

University of Canberra, ACT Googong, NSW/ACT

Development of Company-owned projects

Peet acquires parcels of land in Australia, primarily for residential development purposes. Certain land holdings will also produce non-residential blocks of land. Revenue is derived predominantly from the settlement of the sale of land and this part of the business seeks to derive development profits.

The development portfolio comprises 23% of Peet's total portfolio by number of lots – with a gross development value of approximately A$2.7 billion as at 31 December 2018 (11,676 lots). Development represented 52% of 1H19 EBITDA.

Peet's 1H19 EBITDA contribution by both business type and geography are outlined in the charts below.

Funding and liquidity

As at 31 December 2018, Peet had net debt of A$190.4 million with cash and term deposits of A$48.0 million and interest-bearing liabilities of A$238.4 million (excluding Land Vendor Liabilities).

Peet has senior secured debt facilities of A$150 million with NAB and ANZ. The bank facilities are secured by a first registered fixed and floating charge over the assets and undertakings of Peet, and are subject to a number of standard financial covenants including an interest cover ratio, gearing ratio, real property ratio and minimum shareholders' equity.

Peet's balance sheet, pro-forma for the A$75 million Notes transaction, is outlined in the table below. Pro-forma adjustments are shown prior to the costs of the Notes issue.

* The application of AASB 10 affects the accounting for Peet's interests in certain Peet syndicates. Peet has consolidated the financial statements of certain syndicates based on its equity interest and accounted for the balance as non-controlling interests. The impact of AASB 10 (as at 31 December 2018) is to increase total assets by $32.2 million and to increase total liabilities by A$30.2 million, resulting in an A$2.0 million increase in total equity.

Key risk factors

Investing in the Notes entails a number of risks. Certain risks associated with the Group's business are outlined in this section. However, this Information Memorandum does not describe all the risks associated with the Group's business or the risks associated with an investment in any Notes or the market generally. Prospective investors or purchasers should consult their own professional, financial, legal and tax advisers about risks associated with an investment in any Notes and the suitability of investing in the Notes in light of their particular circumstances.

You should be aware that there are risks associated with the Group's business and an investment in the Issuer generally. The Issuer's business and financial performance may affect its ability to fulfil its obligations under, or in respect of, the terms of the Notes, the credit quality of the Issuer, and hence the Notes themselves. General economic factors may also affect an investment in the Issuer or the performance of the Group.

Many of these risks are outside the control of the Issuer and its directors, including some of the risk factors set out in this section and other matters mentioned in the Information Memorandum. This section is not intended to list every risk that may be associated with an investment in the Issuer and the Notes. You should seek your own professional advice on such matters.

Specific Risk Factors

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY MARKET CONDITIONS

Peet derives earnings from its development business, funds management business and joint venture business based on the future value and sale of residential lots. Should the future market value and/or sales volumes be lower than expected, as a result of negative market conditions, Peet's earnings and returns could be negatively impacted.

General and specific market conditions also have an impact on the rate of fall overs (sales cancellations) of lots already under contract. A significant number of contracts for the sale of residential lots are signed up on a 'conditional' basis (e.g. subject to finance or subject to sale). As market conditions deteriorate, the level of fall overs may increase.

Property market conditions have a significant impact on the ability of buyers, including both domestic and international investor-buyers, to settle on sales contracts. Peet does not have a direct sales channel into foreign markets. Its sales exposure is predominantly across first home buyers, second and third home buyers, builders, domestic investors and domestic investor groups.

PROPERTY VALUES

Unanticipated factors can influence the realisable value of Peet's property and property-related assets. These include:

  • the profit and risk factors, including discount rates applied, that are considered appropriate by professional valuers, for any properties held by Peet, in response to changes in market conditions;

  • changes in the conditions of town planning consents applicable to Peet's projects, as a consequence of changes to council policies;

  • development cost increases including, but not limited to, construction, consultants, imposition of taxes and increases to State and Local Government charges will reduce the profitability of Peet;

  • the presence of previously unidentified threatened flora and fauna species, which may influence the amount of developable land on major projects;

  • the activities of lobby groups;

  • general cost increases;

  • archaeological or ethnographic claims, including native title claims; and

  • land resumptions for roads and major infrastructure, which cannot be adequately offset by the amount of compensation eventually paid, if any.

REZONING AND PLANNING APPROVAL DELAYS

The sale of lots in Peet's residential projects depends on obtaining rezoning and planning approvals. If these approvals take longer than expected, or are not obtained, Peet's sales volumes and profitability could be negatively impacted.

INTEREST RATES AND BANK LENDING CRITERIA

Increases in interest rates and/or the tightening of lending criteria for the provision of mortgage financing could have the effect of reducing the affordability and availability of properties for purchasers, therefore reducing demand and the number of lot sales made by Peet and its managed projects. Interest rates also impact on Peet's costs of funds.

REGULATORY REVIEW OF BANKS

Further regulatory reviews of banks (whether by Government or ASIC) coupled with increased APRA focus may result in banks further tightening lending criteria and or increasing the costs of funding.

SALES PRICES

Lower than expected sales prices across Peet's portfolio of projects would generally result in lower profits by reducing the settlement revenue from the development business and the fee income from the funds management and joint venture businesses.

APARTMENT MARKET

There is a risk that at any point in time there may be an over-supply of apartment product across Australian markets. Peet's exposure to medium density/apartment product represents a minor proportion of its landbank. Peet does not currently have a direct sales channel into foreign markets to sell its medium density/apartment product.

INFLATION AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS

Higher than expected inflation rates generally, or specific to the residential development industry, could be expected to increase operating costs and development costs and potentially reduce the value of Peet's land. These cost increases may be offset by increased selling prices, although there can be no certainty that increased selling prices will be achieved.

AVAILABILITY OF FUNDING AND REFINANCING RISK

Peet's business is capital intensive. Peet's ability to raise funds on favourable terms for future refinancing, development and acquisitions depends on a number of factors including general economic conditions, political, capital and credit market conditions and the reputation, performance and financial strength of Peet's business. These factors could increase the cost of funding, or reduce the availability of funding, as well as increase Peet's refinancing risk for maturing debt facilities.

Peet's ability to refinance its debt facilities as they fall due, and on terms and conditions that are suitable to it and allow it to seek to implement its strategies, will depend upon market conditions, Peet's operating performance and the policies of its financiers. If the debt facilities are not refinanced and need to be repaid, it is possible that Peet will need to realise assets for less than their fair value, which would impact future cash flows and profits. If debt facilities are refinanced on terms that are not conducive to Peet implementing its strategies, Peet may be required to amend, or hold off on the implementation of, its strategies in the short-term until suitable debt facility terms and conditions can be sourced.

CHANGES IN GOVERNMENT POLICY

Changes in government policy (including fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies at federal, state and local levels), including policies on government land development, public housing, immigration and first

homebuyer assistance, policies on environmental, sustainability and climate-change related matters and delays in the granting of approvals or the registration of subdivision plans may affect the amount and timing of Peet's future profits. State government and/or council development contributions may be introduced or increased in jurisdictions, impacting land values and the profitability of projects.

BREACH OF FINANCIAL COVENANTS

The financial covenants in Peet's debt facilities relate to Peet's earnings, cash flow and asset values, and a material movement in any of these may cause covenants under Peet's debt facilities to be breached. If a breach occurs, this is likely to have negative consequences for Peet, including the possibility of early repayment of drawn debt. Property assets are by their nature illiquid investments. This may make it difficult to sell assets quickly to repay debt. As the Issuer has provided security to the lenders of its senior secured debt facilities, claims of any Noteholder will effectively rank after claims of those senior secured lenders and any other secured creditor.

INABILITY TO LAUNCH FURTHER RETAIL SYNDICATES AND INSTITUTIONAL JOINT VENTURES

Peet's business model depends on the ability to successfully raise money from retail and institutional investors. An inability to launch further syndicates and joint ventures may result in a reduction of earnings from the funds management/joint ventures segments of the business. The inability to sell down inventory from Peet's balance sheet into new syndicates or joint ventures over time may require Peet to obtain funding from other sources which may be expensive or difficult to obtain.

PERFORMANCE OF EXISTING SYNDICATES AND JOINT VENTURES

Peet generally derives a combination of project management, marketing and selling fees, performance fees and profit shares from Peet syndicates and joint ventures. Poor performance by any or a number of these Peet syndicates and joint ventures may impact negatively on the revenues and profitability of Peet. Peet may also elect to provide loans to some of its Peet syndicates and joint ventures which will reduce capital available to Peet.

MAJOR SUPPLIERS' RISK

Peet may face the risk of a civil contractor or other major service provider encountering financial difficulty and being unable to complete contracted works either in a timely fashion or at all.

In the event of a civil contractor or other major service provider being unable to complete its work in a timely manner, the timing of settlement of lots may be delayed resulting in a greater risk of lots under contract falling over, additional holding costs and/or a delay in the receipt of settlements proceeds or fees.

In addition to the above, if a major civil contractor or other major service provider is unable to complete its work, (for example, because it becomes insolvent or is otherwise unable to perform its contractual obligations) requiring Peet to appoint an alternative service provider to complete outstanding works, Peet may have to incur additional expenses than would otherwise have been the case. Insurance may not be available to cover such additional expenses (for example, Peet's insurance may not cover those events or insurance held by that civil contractor or other service provider may not cover those events or entitle Peet to recover under such policy).

INCREASE IN UNEMPLOYMENT RATE

Sales of lots in Peet's residential projects may be negatively impacted by a sustained increase in the unemployment rate in Australia, particularly in key markets where Peet has residential projects. This impact could be through a reduction in the number of lots sold and/or in the value of lots sold and profit achieved.

INVENTORY WRITE DOWNS

Unanticipated factors affecting the value of land or development costs, including environmental issues, native title claims, land resumptions, failure to obtain rezoning, market conditions and major infrastructure charges might impact future earnings through a write down in property values.

DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL

Peet is reliant on a number of key personnel employed by Peet. Loss of such personnel, or inability to attract suitably qualified personnel, may have a materially adverse impact on Peet's business and financial performance. Peet's efforts to retain and develop key personnel may also result in additional expenses which could adversely affect its profitability.

ACQUISITIONS AND JOINT VENTURES

Peet may make strategic acquisitions of businesses and joint ventures as part of its growth strategies. Peet is also required to replenish its landbank. There can be no assurance that Peet will be able to successfully identify, acquire or integrate such acquisitions or joint ventures.

Whilst it is Peet's policy to conduct a thorough due diligence process in relation to any such acquisition, risks remain that are inherent in such acquisitions, such as the reliance on advice from consultants and assumptions made, which may prove to be incorrect.

Subject to relevant joint venture agreements, Peet may be unable to control the actions of its joint venture partners and therefore cannot guarantee that the joint ventures will be operated or managed in accordance with Peet's preferred direction or strategy. Joint venture partners and/or co-investment partners may change their internal investment strategies requiring them to exit existing arrangements with Peet or which prevents them from entering into future potential transactions with Peet.

INSURANCE

Peet carries a range of insurance products for (amongst other things) workers compensation, public liability, professional indemnity, industrial special risks and directors & officers. However, Peet's insurance will not cover every potential risk associated with its operations. The occurrence of a significant adverse event, the risks of which are not fully covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on Peet's financial condition and financial performance. Dependent on the type of coverage, Peet may have to incur an excess prior to any payment by the insurer or pay for any difference between the full replacement cost and insured amount. Peet may also incur increases to its insurance premium applicable to other areas of cover as a result of the event. Peet may not be able to recover under its insurance if the company or companies providing the insurance (or any reinsurance) are under financial distress or fail.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE MATTERS

The discovery of, or incorrect assessment of costs associated with, environmental, sustainability and climate-change related matters, cultural heritage or contamination on any of Peet's projects could have an adverse effect on the profitability and timing of receipt of revenue from that project. Peet's policy is to endeavour to undertake relevant due diligence on any property before acquisition, subject to time constraints and in the absence of indicative environmental concerns.

There is a risk that a property development may be contaminated now or in the future. Government regulatory authorities may require such contamination to be remediated. There is a risk that Peet may be required to undertake any such remediation at its own cost. Further, environmental laws impose penalties for environmental damage and contamination, which can be material in size. Such events could adversely affect Peet's financial performance or financial condition.

AUSTRALIAN FINANCIAL SERVICES LICENCE

Peet, via one of its wholly-owned Subsidiaries, holds an Australian Financial Services Licence ("AFSL") that entitles it to conduct a financial services business as part of its funds management business. Earnings from Peet's funds management business are significant and failure to comply with the requirements of the AFSL may have a significant impact on Peet's earnings and cash flows.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURE

The risk of unforeseen capital or other expenditure requirements for Peet may impact returns to investors.

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Peet may face the risk of workplace injuries, which may result in production or industrial stoppages, workers' compensation claims, related common law claims and potential work health and safety prosecutions. Peet has in place a range of practices and policies which seek to provide a safe working environment for its employees, customers and visitors.

COMPETITION RISK

Peet may face the risk of loss of market share in the various residential corridors in which it operates as a result of the launch of competitors' residential estates. Such competition may result in the reduction of sales of residential lots or reduction in sales prices of residential lots or both. This may negatively impact on profits and cash flows and the ability of Peet to meet its interest paying and debt repayment obligations.

General Risk Factors

GENERAL ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL MARKET CONDITIONS

General economic conditions (both domestic and international), long-term inflation rates, exchange rate movements, interest rate movements and movements in the general market for ASX and internationally listed and unlisted securities, changes in domestic or international fiscal, monetary, regulatory and other government policies, changes in investor sentiment and perceptions, geo-political conditions such as acts or threats of terrorism, military conflicts or international hostilities may have a significant impact on the performance of Peet and adversely impact Peet's ability to pay interest and repay the Denomination of the Notes and may affect the price of the Notes.

MARKET RISKS

Market risk is the risk of an adverse event in the financial markets that may result in a loss of earnings for Peet. Market risk includes exposures to funding risk (that is, being unable to meet financial obligations as they fall due or over-reliance on a funding source whereby market or environmental changes limit access to that funding source and thereby increase overall funding costs or cause difficulty in raising funds).

REPUTATIONAL RISK

Issues of a varying nature may arise that would give rise to reputational risk and cause harm to Peet's business dealings and prospects. These issues include appropriately dealing with potential conflicts of interest, legal and regulatory requirements, issues of ethics, money laundering laws, trade sanctions legislation, privacy, information security policies, sales and trading practices and conduct by companies in which Peet holds strategic interests. Failure to address these issues appropriately could give rise to additional legal risk, subject Peet to regulatory actions, fines and penalties, or harm the reputation of Peet among its shareholders, customers and investors including its co-investors and joint venture partners in the marketplace. The material failure of a Peet syndicate may also have a material negative impact on the reputation of Peet, making it more difficult to launch new Peet syndicates.

LITIGATION, CLAIMS AND DISPUTES

From time to time, Peet may be exposed to the risk of litigation or disputes with various parties arising from the conduct of its business, including contractual counterparties, shareholders, Peet syndicate investors, past and present employees, regulators, co-investment partners, competitors, suppliers and customers. As well as the risk of financial damage, such claims also carry a risk of damage to the reputation of Peet. Although Peet holds liability insurance, this insurance may not cover all potential claims or may not be adequate to indemnify Peet for all liability that may be incurred or loss which may be suffered. Losses, liability or legal expenses as a result of litigation proceedings could have a material adverse effect on Peet's business and the financial performance of Peet. Whilst Peet may from time to time make certain provisions against the possibility of adverse outcomes, there is no guarantee that the provisioned amounts (if any) will adequately cover any such loss suffered or liability incurred. It is possible a material and costly claim, whether successful or not, could distract management from its core business and impact the value of the assets, income and dividends of Peet.

TAXATION

Peet is subject to taxation legislation in the various jurisdictions in which it has operations and conducts business. Any significant change in taxation law or its interpretation and application by an administrative body could have an adverse effect on the results of its operations. Peet manages taxation risk, in relation to specific transactions, generally by obtaining opinions from taxation specialists but may also seek rulings from revenue authorities. Peet employs a proactive approach to managing potential disputes with revenue authorities.

CHANGES IN AUSTRALIAN ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

Peet is subject to the usual business risks that there may be changes in Australian accounting standards which have an adverse financial impact on Peet.

GENERAL OPERATIONAL RISKS

Peet is subject to various operational type risks which may have an impact on its business. These may include risks related to technology, processes and procedures, systems and employee-related risks.

Other Risks

The above risks are not exhaustive of the risks faced by potential investors in the Notes. The risks outlined above, and other risks may materially affect the future value and performance of the Notes. Accordingly, no assurances or guarantees of future performance, profitability, interest or return of the Denomination of the Notes are given by Peet in respect of the Notes. You should consult your financial or professional adviser in light of your own particular investment objectives, financial circumstances and particular needs before deciding whether to apply for the Notes.

MARKET PRICE OF THE NOTES

The market price of the Notes may fluctuate due to various factors including general movements in interest rates, credit margins, the Australian and international investment markets, international economic conditions, changes in inflation rates and inflationary expectations, the market price of any other Peet debt, factors that affect Peet's financial position and performance or credit worthiness, global geo-political events and hostilities, investor perceptions and other factors beyond the control of Peet and its directors.

It is possible that the Notes may trade at a market price below their Denomination. If the Notes trade at a market price below the amount at which you acquired them, there is a risk that if you sell them prior to the Maturity Date, you may lose some of the money you invested.

LIQUIDITY OF THE NOTES

The Notes will not be listed on the ASX. Accordingly, the Notes may have no established trading market when issued, and one may never develop. If Noteholders wish to sell their Notes, they may be unable to do so easily or at an acceptable market price, or at all if insufficient liquidity exists in the market for the Notes.

CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES PAYABLE

The Notes carry a fixed interest rate and the Interest Rate for each Interest Period will be fixed and not vary over time. As the market interest rates fluctuate, there is a risk that the Interest Rate on the Notes may become less attractive when compared to the rates of return available on other securities, which could decrease the trading price of fixed rate notes.

PEET MAY DEFAULT ON PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL OR INTEREST

Depending upon its performance and financial position, Peet's cash flows and capital resources may not be sufficient to pay some or all of the interest or principal due on Notes as and when payable under the Conditions.

FUTURE ISSUES OF SECURITIES BY PEET

Peet has the right to create and issue any class of debt securities without the approval of Noteholders. Any such future debt securities issuance by Peet is subject to the relevant gearing ratio limits specified in this Information Memorandum.

An investment in the Notes carries no right to participate in any future issue of debt securities by Peet. No prediction can be made as to the effect, if any, of any future issuance of debt securities by Peet on the market price or liquidity of the Notes.

TAXATION CONSIDERATIONS

Noteholders should be aware that future changes in taxation law, including changes in interpretation or application of the law by the courts or taxation authorities, may affect the taxation treatment of an investment in Notes, or the holding and disposal of Notes.

In addition, if any changes in taxation law or the interpretation or application of law by the courts or taxation authorities result in any payment to a Noteholder being subject to an amount of withholding or deduction in respect of any taxes or governmental charges or in the payment of interest on the Notes not being allowed as a deduction to Peet, then Peet is entitled to redeem the Notes.

Conditions

The following are the Conditions which, as supplemented, amended, modified or replaced in relation to any Tranche of Notes by the relevant Pricing Supplement, will apply to that Tranche of Notes. References to a "Pricing Supplement" in these Conditions do not limit the provisions which may be supplemented, amended, modified or replaced by the Pricing Supplement.

The Notes are constituted by the Note Trust Deed. Each Noteholder, and any person claiming through or under any Noteholder, is entitled to the benefit of, is bound by and is deemed to have notice of, all of the provisions of the Note Trust Deed, these Conditions and the relevant Pricing Supplement. Each such person is also deemed to have notice of the Information Memorandum. Copies of each such document are available for inspection at the Specified Office of the Issuer and the Trustee.

The Notes are issued with the benefit of the Guarantee. Pursuant to the Guarantee, each Guarantor unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees on a joint and several basis to the Noteholders, among other things, the due and punctual performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Notes. The obligations of a Guarantor under the Guarantee are direct, senior, unsubordinated and (subject to Condition 5.1 ("Negative pledge")) unsecured obligations of that Guarantor and rank at least equally with all other direct, senior, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of that Guarantor, except for liabilities mandatorily preferred by law.

5 Negative pledge and financial and other covenants

5.1 Negative pledge

So long as any of the Notes remain outstanding, the Issuer will not, and will ensure that no Guarantor will create or permit to subsist any Security Interest (other than a Permitted Security Interest) upon the whole or any part of its (or a Guarantor's) present or future assets or revenues to secure:

  • (a) any Relevant Indebtedness; or
  • (b) any guarantee relating to any Relevant Indebtedness,

without at the same time according to the Notes either the same security or an equal ranking security as is granted to or is outstanding in respect of such Relevant Indebtedness, guarantee, indemnity or other like obligation or such other security as shall be approved by a Special Resolution of Noteholders.

5.2 Limitation on debt incurrence

So long as any Notes remain outstanding, the Issuer will not incur, and will ensure that no Guarantor incurs, any Financial Indebtedness on or after the Issue Date if the incurrence of such Financial Indebtedness would result in the Peet Gearing Ratio being greater than 50%.

5.3 Guarantors

  • (a) The Issuer will ensure that, at all times, the group of Guarantors will include each entity which provides a guarantee of any of the Group's indebtedness owing under any syndicated or other term loan arrangement (excluding any loan made by the Issuer to a Guarantor or a Guarantor to the Issuer) ("Term Loans").
  • (b) If, at any time, the Group repays all outstanding Term Loans, then the Issuer will ensure that the group of Guarantors includes each entity which provided such a guarantee immediately prior to the repayment of such indebtedness.
  • (c) If a Guarantor at any time ceases to provide a guarantee of any outstanding Term Loans, such Guarantor will be released from the Guarantee in accordance with the Note Trust Deed.

5.4 Other covenants

  • (a) Except in the case of a Permitted Guarantor Restructure, the Issuer will (and the Issuer will ensure that each Guarantor will) do everything necessary to maintain its corporate existence.
  • (b) The Issuer will comply (and the Issuer will ensure that each member of the Peet Group complies) with all applicable laws or directives binding on it where a failure to comply would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Issuer or a Guarantor (as the case may be) to comply with its obligations under the Notes or the Guarantee.
  • (c) The Issuer will provide to the Trustee not later than 30 days after each applicable Test Date, a certificate signed by either two directors or a director and the company secretary or a director and the chief financial officer of the Issuer which certifies whether, in the opinion of the directors, the chief financial officer and/or the company secretary of the Issuer (as appropriate) and after having made all reasonable enquiries, the Issuer and each Guarantor have complied with each of the covenants set out in Conditions 5.1 ("Negative pledge"), 5.2 ("Limitation on debt incurrence"), 5.3 ("Guarantors") and Conditions 5.4(a) and 5.4(b) ("Other covenants") as at the Test Date (as the case may be). In the event the Issuer or a Guarantor is not in compliance with any such covenant, such certificate will give reasonable detail of such noncompliance (including any relevant figures and calculations) and the steps being taken to remedy the same.
  • (d) At the request of the Trustee (acting either on its own discretion or upon receipt of a written request of a Noteholder) the Issuer will provide (at its own cost), any document or other information that the Trustee may reasonably request that is necessary or desirable to allow the Trustee or a Noteholder to determine whether or not the Issuer or a Guarantor is in compliance with each of the covenants set out in Condition 5.1 ("Negative pledge"), Condition 5.2 ("Limitation on debt incurrence"), Condition 5.3 ("Guarantors") and Conditions 5.4(a) and 5.4(b) ("Other covenants").

5.5 Determination of ratios

The amount of any:

  • (a) Peet Gearing Ratio Debt;
  • (b) Peet Gearing Ratio Assets; or

(c) Peet Secured Gearing Ratio Debt,

(and the elements included in those calculations) required to be calculated for the purposes of the Terms shall be determined in accordance with Applicable Accounting Standards in force as at the date of this Information Memorandum unless the Issuer notifies the Noteholders and the Trustee that such amounts will instead be determined in accordance with Applicable Accounting Standards in force at the time of making the determination.

This Condition 5.5 does not apply to the adjustments made in the definitions of "Peet Group Assets" and "Peet Group".

6.7 Compliance with law

Notes may only be transferred if the offer or invitation for the sale or purchase of Notes:

  • (a) is for an aggregate consideration payable by each transferee of at least A$500,000 (or its equivalent in an alternative currency and, in each case, disregarding moneys lent by the transferor or its associates to the transferee or its associates) or if the offer or invitation for the transfer otherwise does not require disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 or Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act and the transferee is not a "retail client" as that term is defined for the purposes of section 761G of the Corporations Act; and
  • (b) if the offer or invitation for the transfer complies with all other applicable laws and directives in the jurisdiction in which the transfer takes place.

6.8 Restrictions on transfer

7 Interest

7.1 Interest on the Notes

Each Note bears interest on its outstanding principal amount from (and including) its Interest Commencement Date to (but excluding) its Maturity Date or, if redeemed earlier, the Optional Redemption Date, at the Interest Rate. Interest is payable in arrear on each Interest Payment Date or such other date on which a Note is redeemed.

7.2 Fixed Coupon Amount

The amount of interest payable on each Note on each scheduled Interest Payment Date in respect of the preceding Interest Period is the Fixed Coupon Amount unless interest is due on a date that is otherwise than a scheduled Interest Payment Date, in which case Condition 7.3 ("Calculation of interest payable") shall apply to calculate the amount of interest payable for that period.

7.3 Calculation of interest payable

The amount of interest payable in respect of a Note for any period which does not end on a scheduled Interest Payment Date shall be calculated by the Calculation Agent by multiplying the Interest Rate, the outstanding principal amount of the Note and the applicable Day Count Fraction.

7.4 Default interest

If an amount is not paid under the Conditions when due, interest accrues on the unpaid amount (both before and after any demand or judgment) at the last applicable Interest Rate plus 2 percentage points until the date on which payment is made to the Noteholder.

8 General provisions applicable to interest

8.1 Calculation of other amounts

If the Pricing Supplement specifies that any other amount is to be calculated by the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent must, as soon as practicable after the time at which that amount is to be determined, calculate the amount in the manner specified in the Pricing Supplement.

8.2 Notification of Interest Rate, interest payable and other items

  • (a) The Calculation Agent must notify the Issuer, the Registrar, the Noteholders, the Trustee and each other Agent of each Interest Rate, the amount of interest payable and each other amount, item or date calculated or determined by it together with the Interest Payment Date.
  • (b) The Calculation Agent must give notice under this Condition as soon as practicable after making its determination.

(c) The Calculation Agent may amend its determination of any amount, item or date (or make appropriate alternative arrangements by way of adjustment) as a result of the extension or reduction of the Interest Period or calculation period without prior notice but must promptly notify the Issuer, the Registrar, the Noteholders, the Trustee and each other Agent of any such amendment.

8.3 Determination final

The determination by the Calculation Agent of all amounts, rates and dates falling to be determined by it under these Conditions is, in the absence of fraud or manifest error, final and binding on the Issuer, the Guarantors, the Registrar, each Noteholder, the Trustee and each other Agent.

8.4 Rounding

For the purposes of any calculations required under these Conditions (unless otherwise specified in these Conditions or the Pricing Supplement):

  • (a) all percentages resulting from the calculations must be rounded to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005 per cent. being rounded up to 0.00001 per cent.);
  • (b) all figures resulting from the calculations must be rounded to five decimal places (with halves being rounded up); and
  • (c) all amounts that are due and payable must be rounded (with halves being rounded up) to one cent.

9 Redemption

The Issuer agrees to redeem each Note on its Maturity Date at its outstanding principal amount unless:

  • (a) the Note has been previously redeemed; or
  • (a) the Note has been purchased and cancelled.

9.2 Early redemption at the option of Noteholders (Noteholder put)

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Event, each Noteholder will have the right to require the Issuer to redeem all (but not some) of its Notes at a redemption price equal to 101 per cent. of the outstanding principal amount of each Note being redeemed (together with any accrued but unpaid interest, if any, to the date of redemption) (the "Change of Control Redemption Price"). Within 30 days after a Change of Control Event, the Issuer shall deliver a notice to the Registrar and the Trustee requesting that the Trustee promptly notifies Noteholders that:

  • (a) a Change of Control Event has occurred and that such Noteholder has the right to require the Issuer to redeem its Notes at the Change of Control Redemption Price;

  • (b) the redemption date (which shall be no earlier than 30 days nor later than 50 days from the date such notice is delivered) ("Change of Control Redemption Date");

  • (c) setting out a form of the exercise notice to be provided by the Noteholders to the Issuer (the "Change of Control Event Exercise Notice"), together with instructions on how to submit such notice;

  • (d) that the last day on which Noteholders may provide the Change of Control Exercise Notice to the Issuer is the day falling 10 days prior to the Change of Control Redemption Date ("Change of Control Exercise Date"); and

  • (e) the procedures determined by the Issuer, consistent with terms and conditions of the Notes, that a Noteholder must follow in order to have its Notes redeemed.

To exercise its right under this Condition 9.2, a Noteholder must deliver a duly completed and signed Change of Control Event Exercise Notice to the Issuer (or as otherwise directed) by the close of business in Perth, Western Australia on the Change of Control Exercise Date.

If at the end of the Change of Control Redemption Period, Noteholders representing 90 per cent or more of the then aggregate principal amount of all the Notes then outstanding have provided a Change of Control Event Exercise Notice to the Issuer, the Issuer may, but shall not be obliged to, redeem all remaining Notes outstanding on the Change of Control Redemption Date at the Change of Control Redemption Price, by giving at least 10 days' prior notice to the Noteholders within 30 days after the end of the Change of Control Redemption Period.

"Change of Control Redemption Period" means the period beginning on the date the Issuer provides notice of the Change of Control Event to the Registrar and the Trustee in accordance with this Condition 9.2 and ending 30 days after that date.

9.3 Early redemption at the option of the Issuer (Issuer call)

The Issuer may redeem all or some of the Notes before their Maturity Date as follows:

  • (a) on the First Optional Redemption Date by payment of 103.0 per cent. of the outstanding principal amount of each Note being redeemed;
  • (b) on the Second Optional Redemption Date by payment of 102.5 per cent. of the outstanding principal amount of each Note being redeemed;

However, the Issuer may only do so if:

  • (i) the amount of Notes to be redeemed is a whole multiple of their Denomination; and
  • (ii) the Issuer has given at least 7 days (and not more than 60 days) notice to the Registrar, the Trustee, the Noteholders and each other Agent.

9.4 Early redemption for taxation reasons

The Issuer may redeem all (but not some) of the Notes of a series in whole before their Maturity Date at the outstanding principal amount of each Note being redeemed (together with any accrued interest, if any, to the date of redemption) if, as a consequence of an amendment to or a change in, or announced amendment to or prospective change in:

  • (a) the law or a binding juridical decision, directive, ruling or determination; or
  • (b) an administrative decision (with which the Issuer is required to comply, or habitually complies) interpreting, applying or clarifying those laws or judicial decisions, directives, rulings or determinations,

occurring after the Issue Date of the first Tranche of a series of Notes:

  • (c) the Issuer is required, or likely to be required, to pay an Additional Amount in respect of the Notes of that series under Condition 11.2 ("Withholding tax");

  • (e) any interest payable in respect of the Notes of that series is not or may not be allowed as a deduction for Australian tax purposes.

However, the Issuer may only do so if:

  • (a) the Issuer has given at least 30 days' and no more than 60 days' notice to the Registrar, the Trustee, the Noteholders and each Agent;
  • (b) at the same time as the Issuer gives the notice under paragraph (a), the Issuer has also delivered to the Trustee:
    • (i) a certificate signed by a director of the Issuer on behalf of the Issuer stating that such amendment or change has occurred (irrespective of whether such amendment or change is then effective) describing the facts leading thereto and stating that such requirement cannot be avoided by the Issuer taking reasonable measures available to it; and
    • (ii) accompanying that certificate, an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognised standing in Australia addressed to, and for the benefit of, the Trustee to the effect that such amendment or change has occurred (irrespective of whether such amendment or change is then effective); and
  • (c) no notice of redemption is given earlier than 90 days before the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay such Additional Amounts under Condition 11.2 ("Withholding tax") or 90 days before the earliest date on which paragraph (d) or (e) above applies.

9.5 Partial redemptions

If only some of the Notes are to be redeemed under Condition 9.3 ("Early redemption at the option of the Issuer (Issuer call)"), the Notes to be redeemed will be specified in the notice and selected:

  • (a) in a fair and reasonable manner; and
  • (b) in compliance with any applicable law, directive or requirement of any stock exchange or other relevant authority on which the Notes are listed.

9.6 Effect of notice of redemption

Any notice of redemption given under this Condition 9 ("Redemption") is irrevocable.

9.7 Late payment

If an amount payable is not paid under this Condition 9 ("Redemption") when due, then interest continues to accrue on the unpaid amount (both before and after any demand or judgment) at the last applicable Interest Rate plus 2 percentage points until the date on which payment is made to the Noteholder.

9.8 Purchase

The Issuer and any of its Related Bodies Corporate may at any time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise and at any price. Notes purchased under this Condition 9.8 may be held, resold or cancelled at the discretion of the purchaser and (if the Notes are to be cancelled, the Issuer), subject to compliance with any applicable law or directive.

10.3 Payments by cheque

If a Noteholder has not notified the Registrar of an account to which payments to it must be made by close of business on the Record Date or it has notified the Registrar that it wishes to be paid by cheque, payments in respect of the Note will be made by cheque sent by prepaid post on the Payment Date, at the risk of the registered Noteholder, to the Noteholder (or if two or more persons are entered in the Register as joint Noteholders, to the first named joint Noteholder of the Note) at its address appearing in the Register at close of business on the Record Date. Cheques sent to the nominated address of a Noteholder will be taken to have been received by the Noteholder on the Payment Date and no further amount will be payable by the Issuer in respect of the Notes as a result of the Noteholder not receiving payment on the due date.

10.4 Payments subject to law

All payments are subject to applicable law but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 11 ("Taxation").

10.5 Payments on Business Days

If a payment:

  • (a) is due on a Note on a day which is not a Business Day then the due date for payment will be adjusted in accordance with the applicable Business Day Convention; or
  • (a) is to be made to an account on a Business Day on which banks are not open for general banking business in the place in which the account is located, then the due date for payment will be the first following day on which banks are open for general banking business in that place,

and in either case, a Noteholder is not entitled to any additional payment in respect of that delay.

10.6 Unsuccessful attempts to pay

Subject to applicable law, where the Issuer:

  • (a) decides that an amount is to be paid to a Noteholder by a method of direct credit and the Noteholder has not given a direction as to where amounts are to be paid by that method;

  • (d) has issued a cheque which has not been presented within six months of its date, then the Issuer may cancel such cheque and if the Issuer has so cancelled,

then, in each case and subject to Condition 12 ("Time limit for claims"), the amount is to be held by the Issuer for the Noteholder in a non-interest bearing deposit with a bank selected by the Issuer until the Noteholder or any legal personal representative of the Noteholder claims the amount or the amount is paid by the Issuer according to the legislation relating to unclaimed moneys.

10.7 Payment to joint Noteholders

A payment to any one of joint Noteholders will discharge the Issuer's liability in respect of the payment.

(a) the Issuer (or an Agent) agrees to withhold or deduct the amount for the Taxes; and

(b) an additional amount is payable by the Issuer so that, after making the withholding or deduction and further withholdings or deductions applicable to any additional amounts payable under this Condition, the Noteholder is entitled to receive (at the time the payment is due) total amounts equal to what it would have received if no withholdings or deductions had been required to be made from a payment in respect of a Note.

11.3 Gross-up exceptions

No Additional Amounts are payable under Condition 11.2 ("Withholding tax") in respect of any Note:

  • (a) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Noteholder, if that person has not supplied an appropriate Australian tax file number (if applicable), or an Australian Business Number or details of an applicable exemption from these requirements;
  • (b) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Noteholder who is liable to such taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Note by reason of having some connection with Australia other than the mere holding of the Note;
  • (c) to, or to a third party on behalf of, a Noteholder (or an entity having an interest in a Note) who is liable to the Taxes in respect of a Note by reason of being an Offshore Associate of the Issuer not acting in the capacity of a clearing house, paying agent, custodian, funds manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the Corporations Act;
  • (d) in respect of any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, transfer, personal property, or any similar tax, assessment or governmental charge;

  • (i) in respect of any combination of any or all of paragraphs (a) to (h) above,

nor shall Additional Amounts be paid with respect to a payment of principal or interest on any Note to a Noteholder that is not the beneficial owner of such Note to the extent that the beneficial owner thereof would not have been entitled to the payment of such Additional Amounts had such beneficial owner been the Noteholder of such Note.

Notwithstanding any other provision of these Conditions, if the Issuer, any Agent or any other person through whom payments on the Notes are made, is required to withhold or deduct amounts under or in connection with, or in order to ensure compliance with FATCA, the Issuer or that other person shall be permitted to make such withholding or deductions, and Noteholders and beneficial owners of Notes will not be entitled to receive any gross up, Additional Amount or other amount for such withholding or deduction.

12 Time limit for claims

A claim against the Issuer for a payment under a Note is void unless made within 10 years (in the case of principal) or 5 years (in the case of interest and other amounts) from the date on which payment first became due.

  • (h) (obligations unenforceable) any Note or the Guarantee (or any material provision thereof) is or becomes (or is claimed to be by the Issuer or a Guarantor or anyone on their behalf) void, voidable or unenforceable, ceases to have full force and effect or is declared by any court of competent jurisdiction to be void or unenforceable;
  • (i) (cessation of business) the Issuer or any Guarantor ceases to carry on all or substantially all of its business (save for the purposes of reorganisation on terms approved in writing by the Trustee or by a Special Resolution of the Noteholders) and no other body corporate assumes the business of that person;
  • (j) (enforcement against assets) any expropriation, attachment, sequestration, distress or execution affects any asset or assets of the Issuer or a Guarantor and amounts to (in aggregate) more than A$5,000,000;

(l) (no arrangement with creditors) the Issuer or any Guarantor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against the Issuer or a Guarantor (which, in the case of a proceeding instituted against the Issuer or a Guarantor, is not set aside or withdrawn within 10 days after the date that the application was made for such proceeding to be instituted) seeking to adjudicate it insolvent, or seeking liquidation, winding up, reorganisation, arrangement, adjustment, protection, relief, or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganisation or relief of debtors, seeking the entry of any order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, administrator or other similar official over the Issuer or Guarantor, its activities or any substantial part of its property.

13.2 Consequences of an Event of Default

  • (a) If an Event of Default occurs and continues unremedied in relation to the Notes, then a Noteholder may, or the Trustee must (if requested in writing by Noteholders who hold in aggregate 25 per cent. or more of the outstanding principal amount of all Notes then outstanding), declare by notice to the Issuer (with a copy to the Registrar and the Trustee (if notice is given by a Noteholder)) that each Note held by it is (or, if the Trustee has given the declaration, all Notes are) to be redeemed by the Issuer paying to the Noteholder the outstanding principal amount of each Note (together with any accrued but unpaid interest and Additional Amounts, if any) in which case those amounts become immediately due and payable.
  • (b) If an Event of Default occurs, then interest continues to accrue on any amounts that have become due but remain unpaid (both before and after any demand or judgment) at the sum of the Interest Rate plus a default rate of 2 percentage points until the date on which payment is made to the Noteholder.

13.3 Notification

If an Event of Default occurs (or, in the case of Condition 13.1(c) ("Event of Default"), an Event of Default would occur with the lapse of time if notice were to be given to the Issuer), the Issuer must promptly (and in any event within 2 days) after becoming aware of it notify the Trustee, the Registrar and the Noteholders of the occurrence of the Event of Default (specifying details of it).

13.4 Enforcement

  • (a) Subject to Condition 13.4(c), at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for so long as it subsists, the Trustee may, either at its discretion or pursuant to a direction of Noteholders in accordance with paragraph (c)(i) below and, in either case, without further notice, institute such proceedings and/or take such other action as it may think fit against or in relation to the Issuer to enforce the Issuer's obligations under the Notes. The Issuer shall, as a result of the bringing of any such proceedings, be obliged to pay any sums representing or measured by reference to principal or interest on the Notes sooner than the same would otherwise have been payable by it.
  • (b) Without prejudice to Condition 13.4(a) but subject to Condition 13.4(c), if the Issuer or a Guarantor breaches any of its obligations under the Note Trust Deed, the Trustee may, either at its discretion or pursuant to a direction of Noteholders in accordance

with paragraph (c)(i) below and, in either case, without further notice, take such action as it may think fit to enforce such obligations.

  • (c) The Trustee must not take any of the actions referred to in paragraphs (a) or (b) above to enforce the obligations of the Issuer in respect of the Notes or take any other enforcement action pursuant to or in connection with the Note Trust Deed or the Notes unless:

    • (ii) it shall have been indemnified to its satisfaction in accordance with the terms of the Note Trust Deed.

If, prior to acting on a direction received pursuant to paragraph (a), the Trustee receives further directions to take any action pursuant to this paragraph (c)(i) that are, in its reasonable opinion, materially inconsistent or conflicting in any material respect with the initial directions, the Trustee must call a meeting of Noteholders in accordance with the terms of these Conditions, the Note Trust Deed and the Meeting Provisions in order to resolve the inconsistency or conflict and shall act in accordance with any resolutions passed at that meeting or in accordance with any direction by Noteholders who hold in aggregate 50 per cent. or more of the outstanding principal amount of all Notes then outstanding.

(d) No Noteholder is entitled to proceed directly against the Issuer or a Guarantor to enforce any right or remedy under or in respect of any Note or the Note Trust Deed unless expressly entitled to do so under these Conditions or the Note Trust Deed or the Trustee, having become bound to proceed, fails to do so within five days from the date that the Trustee is notified by a Noteholder of the failure, and such failure is continuing.

  • (a) is of a formal, minor or technical nature;
  • (b) is made to correct a manifest error; or
  • (c) is made to cure any ambiguity or correct or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision,

provided that, in all cases, in the reasonable opinion of the Issuer and the Trustee, such amendment is not materially prejudicial to the interests of the Noteholders.

17 Further issues of Notes

The Issuer may from time to time, without the consent of the Noteholders, issue further Notes having the same conditions as the Notes of any series in all respects (or in all respects except for the first payment of interest, if any, on them) so as to form a single series with the Notes of that series.

Australian Taxation

1. INTRODUCTION

The following is a summary of the Australian withholding tax treatment under the Australian Tax Act and the Taxation Administration Act 1953 of Australia, at the date of this Information Memorandum, of payments of interest (as defined in the Australian Tax Act) by the Issuer on the Notes to non-residents of Australia that do not hold their Notes (or derive payments under the Notes) at or through a permanent establishment in Australia and certain other Australian tax matters.

A term used below but not otherwise defined has the meaning given to it in the Conditions.

The summary is not exhaustive and, in particular, does not deal with the position of certain classes of Noteholders (including, without limitation, dealers in securities, custodians or other third parties who hold Notes on behalf of any person).

Prospective Noteholders should also be aware that particular terms of issue of any Series of Notes may affect the tax treatment of that Series of Notes. Information regarding taxes in respect of Notes may also be set out in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

This summary is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, legal or tax advice to any particular Noteholder. Each Noteholder should seek professional tax advice in relation to their particular circumstances.

2. AUSTRALIAN INTEREST WITHHOLDING TAX

The Issuer intends to issue Notes which should be characterised as "debt interests" (and returns paid in relation thereto are intended to constitute "interest") for Australian tax purposes.

(a) Section 128F exemption from Australian IWT

An exemption from Australian IWT is available in respect of interest paid on the Notes (as defined in section 128A(1AB) of the Australian Tax Act) if the requirements of section 128F of the Australian Tax Act are satisfied.

Unless otherwise specified in any relevant Pricing Supplement (or another relevant supplement to this Information Memorandum), the Issuer intends to issue the Notes in a manner which will satisfy the requirements of section 128F of the Australian Tax Act.

In broad terms, the requirements are as follows:

  • (i) the Issuer is a resident of Australia and a company (as defined in section 128F(9) of the Australian Tax Act) when it issues the Notes and when interest is paid;
  • (ii) the Notes are issued in a manner which satisfies the "public offer" test in section 128F of the Australian Tax Act.

In relation to the Notes, there are five principal methods of satisfying the public offer test. In summary, the five methods are:

  • offers to 10 or more unrelated persons carrying on a business of providing finance, or investing or dealing in securities, in the course of operating in financial markets;

  • offers to 100 or more investors of a certain type;

  • offers of listed Notes;

  • offers via publicly available information sources; or

  • offers to a dealer, manager or underwriter who makes an offer to sell the Notes within 30 days by one of the preceding methods.

  • (iii) the Issuer does not know, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, at the time of issue, that the Notes (or interests in the Notes) were being, or would later be, acquired, directly or indirectly, by an "associate" of the Issuer (as defined in section 128F(9) of the Australian Tax Act), except as permitted by section 128F(5) of the Australian Tax Act; and

  • (iv) at the time of the payment of interest, the Issuer does not know, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, that the payee is an "associate" of the Issuer (as defined in section 128F(9) of the Australian Tax Act), except as permitted by section 128F(6) of the Australian Tax Act.

(b) Exemptions under certain double tax conventions

The Australian Government has signed double tax conventions ("Specified Tax Treaties") with a number of countries (each a "Specified Country") that contain certain exemptions from Australian IWT. The Specified Tax Treaties apply to interest derived by a resident of a Specified Country.

Broadly, the Specified Tax Treaties effectively prevent Australian IWT applying to interest derived by:

  • governments of the Specified Countries and certain governmental authorities and agencies in a Specified Country; and
  • a "financial institution" resident in a Specified Country which is unrelated to and dealing wholly independently with the Issuer. The term "financial institution" refers to either a bank or any other enterprise which substantially derives its profits by carrying on a business of raising and providing finance. However, interest paid under a back to back loan or an economically equivalent arrangement should not qualify for this exemption.

(c) Payments under the Guarantee

It is unclear whether or not any payment by Guarantors under the Guarantee on account of interest owing by the Issuer in respect of the Notes would be subject to Australian IWT. Arguments exist that such payments (other than interest paid on an overdue amount) should not constitute "interest" for Australian withholding tax purposes, and, if so, should not be subject to Australian IWT.

The Australian Taxation Office has, however, published a Taxation Determination stating that payments by a guarantor in respect of debentures are entitled to the benefit of the exemption contained in section 128F if payments of interest in respect of those debentures by the Issuer are exempt from Australian IWT. However, there is some doubt as to whether the Taxation Determination applies in the context of certain payments under the Guarantee and whether the reasoning adopted in the Taxation Determination is strictly correct.

If such payments are characterised as "interest" for Australian withholding tax purposes, Australian IWT at the rate of 10% will be payable on payments of interest (as defined in the Australian Tax Act) by the Guarantor to a non-resident of Australia that does not hold its Notes (or receive payments under the Notes) at or through a permanent establishment in Australia, unless an exemption is available.

3. OTHER TAX MATTERS

Under Australian laws as presently in effect:

  • death duties – Notes should not be subject to death, estate or succession duties imposed by Australia, or by any political subdivision or authority therein having power to tax, if held at the time of death;
  • stamp duty and other taxes - no ad valorem stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes should be payable in Australia on the issue, transfer or redemption of any Notes;
  • TFN/ABN withholding - withholding tax is imposed (currently at the rate of 47%) on the payment of interest on certain registered securities (such as the Notes) unless the relevant

payee has quoted an Australian tax file number ("TFN"), (in certain circumstances) an Australian Business Number ("ABN") or proof of some other exception (as appropriate).

Assuming the requirements of section 128F of the Australian Tax Act are satisfied with respect to the Notes, then such withholding should not apply to payments to a holder that is a nonresident of Australia for Australian tax purposes that does not hold its Notes at or through a permanent establishment in Australia;

  • additional withholdings from certain payments to non-residents the Governor-General may make regulations requiring withholding from certain payments to non-residents of Australia (other than payments of interest and other amounts which are already subject to the current Australian IWT rules or specifically exempt from those rules). Regulations may only be made if the responsible Minister is satisfied the specified payments are of a kind that could reasonably relate to assessable income of foreign residents. The possible application of any future regulations to the proceeds of any sale of the Notes will need to be monitored;
  • garnishee directions by the Commissioner of Taxation the Commissioner of Taxation may give a direction requiring the Issuer to deduct from any payment to a holder of the Notes any amount in respect of Australian tax payable by the holder. If the Issuer is served with such a direction, then the Issuer will comply with that direction and make any deduction required by that direction;
  • supply withholding tax payments in respect of the Notes can be made free and clear of any "supply withholding tax" imposed under section 12-190 of Schedule 1 to the Tax Administration Act 1953 of Australia; and
  • goods and services tax (GST) neither the issue nor receipt of the Notes should give rise to a liability for GST in Australia on the basis that the supply of Notes should comprise either an input taxed financial supply or (in the case of an offshore subscriber that is a non-resident of Australia) a GST-free supply. Furthermore, neither the payment of principal or interest by the Issuer, nor the disposal of the Notes, should give rise to any GST liability in Australia.

U.S. Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and OECD Common Reporting Standard

FATCA

Under sections 1471 through 1474 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986 ("FATCA"), a 30% withholding ("FATCA withholding") may be required if (i)(A) an investor does not provide information sufficient for any non-U.S. financial institution ("FFI") through which payments on the Notes are made to determine the Noteholder's status under FATCA, or (B) an FFI to or through which payments on the Notes are made is a "non-participating FFI"; and (ii) the Notes are treated as debt for U.S. federal income tax purposes and the payment is made in respect of Notes issued or modified after the date that is six months after the date on which final regulations defining the term "foreign passthru payment" are filed with the U.S. Federal Register, or the Notes are treated as equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, whenever issued.

FATCA withholding is not expected to apply on payments made before the date that is two years after the date on which final regulations defining the term "foreign passthru payment" are filed with the U.S. Federal Register.

Reporting Australian Financial Institutions ("RAFIs") under the Australia–U.S. FATCA Intergovernmental Agreement dated 28 April 2014 ("Australian IGA") must comply with specific due diligence procedures to identify their account holders and provide the Australian Taxation Office ("ATO") with information on financial accounts held by U.S. persons and recalcitrant account holders. The ATO is required to provide such information to the U.S. Internal Revenue Service. Consequently, Noteholders may be requested to provide certain information and certifications to any financial institutions through which payments on the Notes are made. A RAFI that complies with its obligations under the Australian IGA will not be subject to FATCA withholding on amounts it receives, and will not be required to deduct FATCA withholding from payments it makes, other than in certain prescribed circumstances.

In the event that any amount is required to be withheld or deducted from a payment on the Notes as a result of FATCA, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Notes, no additional amounts will be paid by the Issuer or an Agent as a result of the deduction or withholding.

Common Reporting Standard

The OECD Common Reporting Standard for Automatic Exchange of Financial Account Information ("CRS") requires certain financial institutions to report information regarding certain accounts (which may include the Notes) to their local tax authority and follow related due diligence procedures. Noteholders may be requested to provide certain information and certifications to ensure compliance with the CRS. A jurisdiction that has signed a CRS Competent Authority Agreement may provide this information to other jurisdictions that have signed the CRS Competent Authority Agreement. The Australian Government has enacted legislation amending, among other things, the Taxation Administration Act 1953 of Australia to give effect to the CRS.
