Restricted Share Scheme
ACCORDANT GROUP LIMITED
("Company")
DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT RELATING TO THE GIVING OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND THE
ACQUISITION OF SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMPANY'S RESTRICTED SHARE SCHEMES
(Section 61(5) and 78(5) of the Companies Act 1993)
TO: ALL SHAREHOLDERS
INTRODUCTION
This document is provided to all shareholders in accordance with the requirements of section 61(5) and
78(5) of the Companies Act 1993. It sets out details of the intention of the Company to give financial
assistance in connection with the AWF Madison Group and Accordant Group Restricted Share Schemes
(being the 2016, 2018 and 2020 Schemes), “the Schemes" respectively and the intention of the
Company to acquire shares issued under the:
(a) Accordant Group 2020 Restricted Share Scheme (“2020 Scheme”); and/or
(b) Accordant Group 2018 Restricted Share Scheme (“2018 Scheme”); and/or
(c) Accordant Group 2016 Restricted Share Scheme (“2016 Scheme”); and/or
(together, the "Schemes").
This document is provided to you for your information. You are not required to take any action in
relation to it.
THE SCHEMES
The Schemes were established with the intention of incentivising and encouraging senior management
to commit, to excel and to remain with the Accordant Group.
Under the Schemes, participants are entitled to receive restricted shares in the Company ("Restricted
Shares"). The Company provides participants in the Schemes with an interest free loan to fund the
subscription price for their Restricted Shares. Such loans are considered financial assistance for the
purposes of the Companies Act 1993.
Such loans are to be secured by a mortgage in favour of the Company over the Restricted Shares issued
to the relevant participant.
The loan must be repaid in full before the participant's Restricted Shares are reclassified as ordinary
shares in the Company.
A participant in the Schemes cannot sell or otherwise dispose of his or her Restricted Shares unless such
shares are reclassified as ordinary shares in the Company and all amounts outstanding under the
participant's loan are repaid in full.
It is a condition of each of the Schemes that, in order for a holder's Restricted Shares to be reclassified
as ordinary shares, the holder has to remain in continuous employment with the Company until a
specified date (the "Qualification Date"). If this condition is not satisfied the Company has an option to
redeem the Restricted Shares issued to the relevant participant for a redemption price equal to the
issue price of those shares. The Company also has an option to redeem a participant's Restricted Shares
for the same redemption price where this condition is satisfied but the relevant participant has not
2
Restricted Share Scheme
repaid his or her loan within a prescribed time period. The proceeds from any redemption must be
applied in repayment in full of the relevant participant's loan.
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE
Restricted Shares may be issued under the Scheme in the next 12 months.
Accordingly, the Company is likely to provide financial assistance within the next 12 months to
participants in the Schemes in the form of interest free loans equal to the aggregate subscription price
of the Restricted Shares to be issued to the relevant participant.
At this time, the Company is unable to determine the precise amount of any additional loans to be
made within the next 12 months as it is dependent upon, among other things, the level of participation
by eligible employees, the number of Restricted Shares to be issued, and the price at which the
Restricted Shares are issued. However, the total amount of the loans will not exceed $700,000.
ACQUISITION OF RESTRICTED SHARES
Inevitably, over the next 12 months some participants of the Schemes will cease to be employees within
the Group before the Qualification Date for Restricted Shares held by them and in such circumstances
the Company may wish to exercise its option to acquire Restricted Shares held by such participants.
The Company may elect to acquire such Restricted Shares by redeeming them or by buying them back.
Each method of acquir ing shares has the same effect.
The consideration for the Restricted Shares subject to any acquisition will be equal to the issue price of
the Restricted Shares in question. The proceeds from the acquisition of any Restricted Shares will be
applied by the Company in repayment in full of the loans made to the relevant participants of the
Schemes in respect of the Restricted Shares acquired.
Any Restricted Shares acquired will be cancelled immediately upon acquisition.
At this time, the Company is unable to determine the precise number of Restricted Shares that may be
acquired within the next 12 months as it is dependent on which (if any) participants of the Schemes
cease to be employees within the Group before the Qualification Date for Restricted Shares held by
them and the number of Restricted Shares held by any such participants. However, the maximum
number of Restricted Shares that could be acquired is the number of Restricted Shares on issue at the
date of this disclosure document together with the number of Restricted Shares that may be issued
over the next 12 months. For information purposes, the number of Restricted Shares on Issue as at the
date of this disclosure document and the price that would be paid by the Company for such Restricted
Shares if they were acquired is set out in the table below. If any new Restricted Shares are issued by the
Company, a notice of their issue would be made available from NZX Limited’s website www.agl.com
under stock code AWF. It is highly unlikely that the maximum number of Restricted Shares that could
be acquired by the Company would be acquired by the Company in the next 12 months.
Class of Restricted Shares Current Number on Issue Acquisition Price Per Share
Restricted F Shares* 21,000 $2.57
Restricted F Shares** 42,000 $2.64

apply to the court to restrain the acquisition of the Restricted Shares.

the directors' conclusions in relation to these resolutions and the nature and the extent of any relevant
interest the directors of the Company have in the Restricted Shares subject to the acquisition as

the terms of the relevant scheme.
(b) The ability of the Company to acquire or redeem shares from participants who
have ceased to be employed by the Company on the relevant date is a key
aspect of the Schemes which increases the alignment of interests between
participating senior staff and shareholders.
(c) The consideration for the acquisition of any Restricted Shares is equal to the
issue price of the relevant Restricted Shares as is specified in the terms of issue
of those Restricted Shares and will be used to repay the loans made by the
