Capital Return to Shareholders – Final Court Orders Received

Tower Limited ( Tower ) has received final orders from the High Court on 1 March 2022, approving the return of approximately NZ$30.4 million of capital to its shareholders.

On 13 December 2021 Tower announced that it had received initial orders from the High Court to seek shareholders’ approval for the return of capital and to obtain IRD approval. 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 2 February 2022 with 99.46% of the votes cast, being cast in favour of the resolution. IRD approval 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$0.72 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.

whole number (for example 1:1.5 should be expressed
as 2:3). Where you consolidate five+securities into

consolidation)+securities will be consolidated into 1.00

into 2.00 (post-consolidation)+securities.
