Letter from the Chairman

19 March 2021
Dear fellow shareholders
Savor rights issue
On behalf of the directors of Savor Limited (previously Moa Group Limited) ( Savor ), we are pleased to offer eligible shareholders the opportunity to participate in our underwritten renounceable rights issue at an issue price of 17.67 cents per share.
On 26 February 2021, Savor sold all of the shares in its brewery business, Moa Brewing Company Limited, for a price of $1.9m cash (subject to adjustment) in alignment with Savor’s strategy to divest its brewery operations and expand its hospitality business.
On 10 March 2021, Savor’s wholly owned subsidiary, Amano Group Limited, entered into an agreement to purchase all of the assets of the Hipgroup Limited restaurants (Amano, Ortolana and The Store) for an aggregate purchase price of $11m (“the Amano acquisition”). This acquisition is scheduled to take effect on 8 April 2021, when $7.15m of the purchase price is payable and the issue of $1m of Savor shares to the Vendor (such shares being subject to transfer restrictions), followed by a $2.85m payment 12 months after the acquisition. The acquisition is to be funded through a combination of new debt financing of $7 million and the underwritten rights issue. The rights issue underwriters comprise existing substantial shareholders and new professional financial investors.
Further details of these developments are available at www.nzx.com/companies/SVR/announcements .
Consequently we are undertaking a capital raising of approximately $6 million for this purpose through a rights issue of 1 New Share for every 4.3077 Existing Shares held to raise up to $6 million.
The capital will be applied to part settle the Amano acquisition and also to provide additional funding for the core Savor business, allowing Savor to further pursue its expansion strategy in the hospitality industry.
The issue price of 17.67 cents per share is a 5% discount to the last traded price on 9 March 2021, the date prior to announcement of the Amano acquisition, and a 15% discount to the volume weighted average price of Savor shares traded through NZX of 20.82 cents each in the 5 trading days following announcement of the Amano acquisition. No assurance can be given on the future price of Savor shares.
The Board encourages you to consider participating in the offer.
Best Regards

Terms and Conditions
1 The Offer
The Offer is an offer of New Shares in Savor to Eligible Shareholders under a pro-rata renounceable rights issue. Under the Offer, Eligible Shareholders are entitled to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 4.3077 Existing Shares held on the Record Date (with any fractional entitlements rounded up).
The New Shares are of the same class as (and rank equally with) Savor’s Existing Shares which are quoted on the NZX Main Board. Savor will take any necessary steps to ensure that the New Shares are, immediately after the issue, quoted. The maximum number of New Shares being offered under the Offer is 33,955,853.
The Rights will not be quoted on the NZX Main Board.
2 Issue Price
The Issue Price is $0.1767 per New Share. The Issue Price must be paid in full on application online or with a completed Acceptance Form delivered (either by mail, delivery, email or fax) to Link in accordance with the instructions set out in the Acceptance Form. Savor may accept late Applications and Application Monies, but has no obligation to do so. Savor may accept or reject (at its discretion) any online application or Acceptance Form which it considers is not completed correctly, and may correct any errors or omissions on any Acceptance Form.
If an Eligible Shareholder fails to accept any New Shares and pay the associated Application Monies by the Closing Date (5.00pm on 31 March 2021, unless extended), their Rights will lapse.
As required by the Listing Rules, if Savor receives, before the Closing Date, a renunciation and an acceptance in respect of the same Right(s), the renunciation shall be given priority to the acceptance.
Application monies received will be held in a trust account with Link until the corresponding New Shares are allotted or the application monies are refunded. Interest earned on the application monies will be for the benefit, and remain the property, of Savor and will be retained by Savor whether or not the issue of New Shares takes place. Any refunds of application monies will be made within 5 Business Days of the issue of New Shares (or such earlier date that the decision not to proceed with the Offer is made).
Savor considers that the legal requirements of other jurisdictions in which Shareholders have a registered address are such that it would be unduly onerous for Savor to make the Offer, having regard to the low number of such Shareholders, the number and value of New Shares such Shareholders would be offered, the financial resources of Savor and the costs of complying with overseas legal requirements.
4 Opening and Closing Dates
The Offer will open for receipt of acceptances on 19 March 2021 (the “Opening Date”). The last day for receipt of applications made online, or by the Acceptance Form, in each case with payment (or by an Eligible Shareholder making an offer in writing to set-off their subscription obligation in whole or in part against any debt due from the Company to that Eligible Shareholder) is 5.00pm on 31 March 2021, unless extended (the “Closing Date”), subject to Savor varying those dates in accordance with the NZX Main Board Listing Rules.
5 Issue of New Shares
New Shares are expected to be allotted and issued on 8 April 2021 (the “Issue Date”). Statements for New Shares will be issued and mailed in accordance with the Listing Rules.
6 Terms and Ranking of New Shares
New Shares allotted and issued will be fully paid and will be the same class as (and rank equally in all respects with) other Shares on issue that are quoted on the NZX Main Board on the Issue Date. They will give the holder the right to one vote on a resolution at a meeting of shareholders (subject to any restrictions in Savor’s constitution or the Listing Rules), the rights to dividends authorised by the Board and the right to a proportionate share in any distribution of surplus assets of Savor on any liquidation.
7 Partial acceptance
If you are an Eligible Shareholder, you are not required to subscribe for all of the New Shares to which you would be entitled under the Offer. You may subscribe for a proportion of your New Shares or allow your Entitlement to lapse.
8 Minimum amount raised
There is no minimum amount that must be raised for the Offer to proceed.
3 Eligibility
The Offer is only open to Eligible Shareholders, being those persons with registered addresses in New Zealand or Australia (or as Savor may otherwise determine in compliance with applicable laws), who are registered as Shareholders at the Record Date.
