Market Information Company Announcements Office NZX Limited ASX Limited Level 2, NZX Centre Exchange Centre 11 Cable Street Level 6, 20 Bridge Street Wellington Sydney NSW 2000 New Zealand Australia

Capital Return to Shareholders – Final Court Orders Received

Tower Limited (Tower) has received final orders from the High Court on 12 March 2025, approving the return of approximately NZ$45 million of capital to its shareholders.

On 16 December 2024 Tower announced that it had received initial orders from the High Court to seek shareholders’ approval for the return of capital at its ASM on 11 February 2025.

The return of capital is on a pro rata basis, by way of a scheme of arrangement under Part 15 of the Companies Act 1993. The return of capital was approved at a meeting of shareholders on 11 February 2025 with 99.25% of the votes cast, being cast in favour of the resolution. As previously announced on 21 October 2024, IRD approval that no part of the capital return is in lieu of the payment of a dividend has also been obtained.

The scheme will involve Tower’s shareholders:

  • having one (1) share cancelled for every ten (10) shares held (together with all rights attaching to those shares) on the record date. Fractions of a share will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number (with 0.5 rounded down); and

  • receiving a cash sum of NZ$1.1858 for each share cancelled. Australian registered shareholders will receive these funds in Australian dollars at an exchange rate approved by Tower on or about the record date.

The scheme remains subject to the Board, at its sole discretion, remaining satisfied that Tower is complying with solvency and regulatory capital requirements, including under its capital management process requirements, and that it remains prudent to undertake the scheme, in each case, up to the time the scheme is given effect by cancellation of shares, being 20 March 2025. As at the date of this announcement, the Board remains satisfied in relation to these matters.

Set out below is the timetable for the capital return:

+Security split
4.1a Consolidation ratio
Ratios may only be expressed as whole
numbers. Fractional ratios will need to
be multiplied up to a whole number (for
example 1:1.5 should be expressed as
2:3). Where you consolidate five
+securities into one+security, the answer
above is 5.00 (pre-consolidation)
+securities will be consolidated into
1.00 (post-consolidation)+security. To
consolidate three+securities into two
+securities, the answer above is 3.00
(pre-consolidation)+securities will be
consolidated into 2.00 (post-
consolidation)+securities.

Ratios may only be expressed as whole
numbers. Fractional ratios will need to
be multiplied up to a whole number (for
example 1:1.5 should be expressed as
2:3). Where you split each+security into
five, the answer above is every 1.00
(pre-split)+security will be divided into
5.00 (post-split)+securities. To divide
each two+securities into three
+securities the answer is 2.00 (pre-split)
+securities will be divided into 3.00
(post-split)+securities.
ALL:*Please note that the ratio
