ADDITIONAL INFORMATION FOR AUSTRALIAN INVESTORS
Important Notice
This document contains additional information for eligible Australian investors (as defined below)
(Additional Australian Information), and accompanies the attached New Zealand product disclosure
statement (including the additional information on the New Zealand disclose register available at
https://disclose-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz/) (New Zealand PDS) for the invitation to apply for fully
paid ordinary shares (Shares) in Winton Land Limited (Winton), a company incorporated in New
Zealand with Company Number 6310507 in connection with its initial public offer of Shares (Offer).
Unless otherwise defined, capitalised terms in this Additional Australian Information have the same
meaning as in the Glossary section of the New Zealand PDS.
1 Offer in Australia
The Offer may be made in Australia to selected institutional investors (Australian Institutional
Investors) who are sophisticated investors or professional investors within the meaning of
sections 708(8) and 708(11) respectively of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (Corporations
Act). In addition, certain Australian investors may be invited to participate in the Chairman’s
List Offer.
No general public offer is being made in Australia. Australian residents who are not Australian
Institutional Investors or invited to participate in the Chairman’s List Offer will not be eligible to
apply for Shares.
If made, the institutional offer in Australia consists of an invitation to Australian Institutional
Investors to bid for Shares and the Chairman’s List Offer consists of an invitation to select
Australian investors to apply for Shares. For further details, refer to the Terms of the Offer
section of the New Zealand PDS.
2 New Zealand PDS
The Offer will be made pursuant to the final New Zealand PDS lodged on 1 December 2021.
Australian Institutional Investors may participate in the Offer by way of bidding for Shares and,
following confirmation of their allocation of Shares, the Shares will be issued to, and acquired
by, Australian Institutional Investors pursuant to the New Zealand PDS. In addition, certain
Australian investors may participate in the Chairman’s List Offer by invitation only. The New
Zealand PDS will be lodged with ASIC in reliance on the trans-Tasman mutual recognition
scheme under Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act and the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth)
(Corporations Regulations).
This Additional Australian Information contains disclosures relevant to Australian Institutional
Investors and is required in part in order to comply with the requirements for a “recognised offer”
under Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act and the Corporations Regulations and the requirements
of the ASX Listing Rules.
The New Zealand PDS has been prepared to comply with New Zealand regulatory
requirements, which differ in some respects from Australian regulatory requirements for an offer
of the Shares. The New Zealand PDS and this Additional Australian Information are not, and do
not purport to be, a prospectus or document containing disclosure to investors for the purposes
of, and do not contain all information that would be required for a prospectus or disclosure
document under, Part 6D.2 or Part 7.9 of the Corporations Act.
If you are in Australia, you may obtain a copy of the final New Zealand PDS by contacting
Winton.

3 Important information for all Australian investors
The following statements are required to be included in this document by Chapter 8 of the
Corporations Act and the Corporations Regulations.
This Offer to Australian investors is a recognised offer made under Australian and New Zealand
law. In Australia, this is Chapter 8 of the Corporations Act and the Corporations Regulations. In
New Zealand, this is Subpart 6 of Part 9 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 of New
Zealand and the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014 of New Zealand.
This Offer and the content of the offer document (the New Zealand PDS) are principally
governed by New Zealand, rather than Australian, law. In the main, the Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013 of New Zealand and the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014 of New
Zealand set out how the Offer must be made.
There are differences in how securities and financial products are regulated under New Zealand,
as opposed to Australian, law. For example, the disclosure of fees for managed investment
schemes is different under New Zealand law.
The rights, remedies and compensation arrangements available to Australian investors in New
Zealand securities and financial products may differ from the rights, remedies and compensation
arrangements for Australian securities and financial products.
Both the Australian and New Zealand securities regulators have enforcement responsibilities in
relation to this Offer. If you need to make a complaint about this Offer, please contact the
Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC). The Australian and New Zealand
regulators will work together to settle your complaint.
The taxation treatment of New Zealand securities and financial products is not the same as that
for Australian securities and products.
If you are uncertain about whether this investment is appropriate for you, you should seek the
advice of an appropriately qualified financial advisor.
The Offer may involve a currency exchange risk. The currency for the security or financial
product is in dollars that are not Australian dollars. The value of the security or financial product
will go up and down according to changes in the exchange rate between those dollars and
Australian dollars. These changes may be significant.
If you receive any payments in relation to the security or financial product that are not in
Australian dollars, you may incur significant fees in having the funds credited to a bank account
in Australia in Australian dollars.
If the security or financial product is able to be traded on a financial market and you wish to
trade the security or financial product through that market, you will have to make arrangements
for a participant in that market to sell the security or financial product on your behalf. If the
financial market is a foreign market that is not licensed in Australia (such as a securities market
operated by NZX Limited (NZX)) the way in which the market operates, the regulation of
participants in that market and the information available to you about the security or financial
product and trading may differ from Australian licensed markets.
4 Lodgement with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission
The final New Zealand PDS (accompanied by this Additional Australian Information) was lodged
with ASIC on 1 December 2021. ASIC accepts no responsibility for the contents of the New
Zealand PDS and this Additional Australian Information, or the merits of the investment to which
the New Zealand PDS and this Additional Australian Information relate.
5 NZX and ASX listings
Application has been made to NZX for permission to quote the Shares on the NZX Main Board.
All the requirements of NZX relating to the proposed quotation that can be complied with on or
Page 3
3464-6770-2551, v. 1
before the date of this Additional Australian Information have been duly complied with. However,
NZX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this Additional Australian Information. The
NZX Main Board is a licensed market operated by NZX, which is a licensed market operator,
regulated under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 of New Zealand. Winton’s NZX code
is “WIN”. Once the Shares are quoted on NZX, the NZX Listing Rules will apply to Winton
(subject to any waivers or rulings given from time to time by NZX).
[Application will also be made to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) operated by ASX
Limited to admit Winton to the official list of ASX (ASX Official List) as a foreign exempt listing
and to quote the Shares on ASX. Winton’s ASX code will, if quoted, be “WTN”. If Winton is
admitted to the ASX Official List as a foreign exempt listing, it will still need to comply with the
NZX Listing Rules (other than as waived by NZX), but will not need to comply with the vast
majority of the ASX Listing Rule obligations. Rather, Winton will need to comply only with the
rules specified in ASX Listing Rule 1.15 which are relatively procedural in nature. Winton will
not be subject to substantive ASX Listing Rule requirements such as the rules on continuous
disclosure, periodic reporting, shareholder approval of share issuances, escrow, transactions
with persons of influence and significant transactions.]
[ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of the New Zealand PDS or the Additional
Australian Information or for the merits of the investment to which the New Zealand PDS and
the Additional Australian Information relate. Admission of Winton to the ASX Official List and
quotation of the Shares on ASX are not guaranteed and the fact that ASX may admit Winton to
the ASX Official List and quote the Shares on ASX is not to be taken as an indication of the
merits, or as an endorsement by ASX, of Winton or the Shares. The ASX is not a licenced
market under the FMCA.]
Failure to achieve admission of Winton to the ASX Official List will not, of itself, prevent
the issue by Winton of Shares under the Offer from proceeding.
6 Continuous disclosure
As noted above, if Winton is admitted to the ASX Official List as a foreign exempt listing it will
not be required to comply with the continuous disclosure provisions of the ASX Listing Rules.
Accordingly, Winton will only need to comply with the continuous disclosure rules of the NZX
Listing Rules (including as modified by any waivers or rulings applicable to Winton or the
Shares). Broadly, the NZX Listing Rules require that Winton immediately release to NZX any
material information (being information that a reasonable person would expect, if it were
generally available to the market, to have a material effect on the price of Winton’s securities
and is information that relates to Winton or its securities) that it is aware of. There are exceptions
to the requirement to disclose certain information. However, for the exceptions to apply the
information must be confidential and confidentiality must be maintained. There are a number of
other requirements that also must be met for the exceptions to apply.
All information provided to NZX and ASX in accordance with the NZX Listing Rules and the ASX
Listing Rules will be available on the NZX and ASX websites and on Winton’s website at
www.winton.nz.
For more information in relation to Winton’s continuous disclosure policy, refer to Winton
continuous disclosure policy which will be available on Winton’s website following listing.
7 Risks
You should refer to the information set out in section 8 (Risks to Winton’s business and plans)
of the New Zealand PDS. That section describes the circumstances that Winton is aware of that
exist or are likely to arise that significantly increase the risk to Winton’s financial position,
financial performance or stated plans. Section 8 of the New Zealand PDS outlines Winton’s
assessment of the likelihood, nature and potential magnitude of the impact of the circumstances.
The risks are based on the knowledge and assessment of the Board as at the date of the New
Zealand PDS and it is possible that the importance of each risk may change or other risks may
emerge over time.
Page 4
3464-6770-2551, v. 1
In addition to the risks set out in Section 8 of the New Zealand PDS, there are other risks that
are common to all investments in shares and other securities generally or that are specific to an
investment in the Shares.
Set out below are certain risks that are specific to Australian investors. The risks described
below do not purport to be a comprehensive statement of the risks associated with investing in
the Shares. These risks should be read in conjunction with the risks set out in Section 8 of the
New Zealand PDS.
Liquidity and realisation risk
There can be no assurance that an active trading market in the Shares will develop or that the
price of the Shares to be issued will increase. The risk may be increased if you wish to trade
your Shares on ASX. As it is expected that the Shares will predominantly be traded on the NZX
Main Board, the volume of Shares traded on ASX may be lower.
Foreign exchange risk on dividend payments
Dividends are made at the discretion of Winton’s board of directors, and depend on Winton’s
financial performance. The payment of dividends is not guaranteed, and Winton’s dividend
policy may change over time. In declaring dividends, Winton must comply with the solvency test
under the Companies Act and the covenants in its banking facilities.
Winton’s dividend policy is to target a dividend payout ratio of between 20% to 40% of net profit
after tax (NPAT) for a financial year, taking into account the operating cashflow, future capital
requirements and an aim to provide stability of dividend income. For FY22F Winton is targeting
a dividend of NZ$3.0 million and dividends totalling NZ$19.8 million in FY23F. Dividends will be
imputed to the extent possible, and are expected to be fully imputed in FY22F and FY23F.
If Winton pays dividends, it will pay dividends in New Zealand dollars. You may be exposed to
foreign exchange risk in the conversion of dividends to Australian dollars and may incur fees in
having the funds credited to a bank account in Australia in Australian dollars.
8 Selling restrictions
Neither the New Zealand PDS nor this Additional Australian Information constitute an offer for
the issue or sale of Shares or an invitation in any place in which, or to any person to whom, it
would be unlawful to make such an offer or invitation. Refer to the information under the heading
“Selling restrictions and further information” in section 5 (Terms of the Offer) of the New Zealand
PDS and the document entitled “Other Material Information” on the Offer Register.
Each successful bidder under the Australian Institutional Offer will be required to make certain
representations, warranties and covenants set out in the confirmation of allocation letter
distributed to it in connection with their ability to legally participate in the Offer in accordance
with the laws of their jurisdiction.
9 This Additional Australian Information does not constitute investment advice. You
should seek your own financial advice.
The information provided in the New Zealand PDS and this Additional Australian Information is
not financial product advice and has been prepared without taking into account the investment
objectives, financial circumstances or particular needs of any investor.
Investors should read the whole of the New Zealand PDS and this Additional Australian
Information and consider all of the risk factors that could affect the performance of Winton and
other information concerning the Shares in light of their own particular investment objectives,
financial circumstances and particular needs (including financial and taxation issues) before
deciding whether to invest in the Shares.
Page 5
3464-6770-2551, v. 1
10 CHESS and issuer sponsored subregisters
In conjunction with its application to be admitted to the ASX Official List, Winton will apply to
participate in Clearing House Electronic Subregister System (CHESS) in accordance with the
ASX Settlement Operating Rules. CHESS is an automated transfer and settlement system for
transactions in securities quoted on ASX under which transfers are effected in an electronic (i.e.
paperless) form.
Holdings of Shares in Australia will be registered in one of two subregisters, an electronic
CHESS subregister or an issuer sponsored subregister. The Shares of an investor who is a
participant in CHESS or a person sponsored by a participant in CHESS will be registered on the
CHESS subregister. All other Shares held in Australia will be registered on the issuer-sponsored
subregister.
11 Trading in Shares on ASX
Notifications to successful Applicants of their allotments under the Offer are expected to be
issued within five days of the allotment date (with the allotment date expected to be on or around
17 December 2021).
Following allotment of the Shares, shareholders on the Australian share register will be sent a
separate initial statement of holding for each holding of Shares that provides details of:
1. the holder’s Holder Identification Number (HIN) (for CHESS holders) or a Shareholder
Reference Number (SRN) for issuer-sponsored holders; and
2. the number of Shares that have been allocated.
Shareholders will subsequently receive from time to time updated statements showing any
changes to their shareholding in Winton.
Initial quotation and trading of the Shares on the NZX Main Board and ASX is expected to occur
on or around 17 December 2021.
The bids in the Australian Institutional Offer will be conditional on NZX agreeing to quote the
Shares of Winton. However, failure to achieve admission to the ASX Official List will not, of itself,
prevent the issue or sale of Shares under the Offer from proceeding.
Applicants under the Australian Institutional Offer trade any Shares at their own risk until they
know whether, and how many, Shares have been allocated to them. None of NZX, ASX, Winton,
the Share Registrar, any other person named in the New Zealand PDS, nor any of their
respective directors, officers, employees or advisers accepts any liability or responsibility should
any person attempt to sell or otherwise deal in Shares before statements confirming the
allotment of Shares are received by the successful Applicants under the Australian Institutional
Offer.
12 Applicable law
Winton as a New Zealand company
Winton is a company incorporated in New Zealand and is principally governed by New Zealand
law, rather than Australian law. Winton is registered with ASIC as a foreign company with
Australian Registered Body Number 655 601 568. Its general corporate activities (apart from
any offering of securities in Australia) are not regulated by the Corporations Act or by ASIC but
instead are regulated in New Zealand by the Companies Act 1993 (New Zealand) (Companies
Act) and the Financial Markets Authority and Companies Office.
Set out below is a table summarising key features of the laws that apply to Winton as a New
Zealand company (under New Zealand law, including as modified by exemptions or waivers)
compared with the laws that apply to Australian publicly-listed companies generally. It is
important to note that this summary does not purport to be a complete review of all matters of
New Zealand law applicable to Winton or all matters of Australian law applicable to Australian
Page 6
3464-6770-2551, v. 1
publicly-listed companies or to highlight all provisions that may differ from the equivalent
provisions in Australia.
Table: Comparison of laws governing Winton as a New Zealand publicly-listed company with
laws governing Australian publicly-listed companies generally
Unless otherwise stated, the Corporations Act provisions do not apply to Winton as a foreign company
and the vast majority of the ASX Listing Rule requirements do not apply to Winton given that it is
proposing to be admitted to the ASX Official List as a foreign exempt listing.

Transactions
that require
shareholder
approval
Under the Companies Act, the principal
transactions or actions requiring shareholder
approval include:
• adopting or altering the constitution of
the company;
• appointing or removing a director or
auditor;
• major transactions (being transactions
involving the acquisition or disposition of
assets, the acquisition of rights or
interests or the incurring of obligations or
liabilities, the value of which is more than
half the value of the company’s total
assets);
• amalgamations (other than between the
company and its wholly-owned
subsidiaries);
• putting the company into liquidation; and
• changes to the rights attached to shares.
In addition to the Companies Act
requirements listed above, shareholder
approval is required under the NZX Listing
Rules for:
• director remuneration;
• certain transactions with related parties;
• certain issues of shares; and
• in certain circumstances, the provision
of financial assistance for the purpose
of, or in connection with, the acquisition
of shares.
Under the Corporations Act, the principal
transactions or actions requiring shareholder
approval are generally comparable to those
under the Companies Act. Shareholder
approval is also required for certain
transactions affecting share capital (e.g.
share buybacks and share capital
reductions).
Although there is no shareholder approval
requirement for major transactions, certain
related party transactions require
shareholder approval.
Shareholder approval is required under the
ASX Listing Rules for:
• directors’ termination benefits in certain
circumstances;
• certain transactions with related parties;
• certain issues of shares; and
• if a company proposes to make a
significant change to the nature or scale
of its activities or proposes to dispose of
its main undertaking.
Shareholders’
right to request
or requisition a
general
meeting
A special meeting of shareholders must be
called by the board on the written request of
shareholders holding shares carrying
together not less than 5% of the voting
rights entitled to be exercised on the issue.
The Corporations Act contains a
comparable right.
Shareholders with at least 5% of the votes
that may be cast at the general meeting
may also call and arrange to hold a general
meeting at their own expense.
Shareholders’
right to appoint
proxies to
attend and vote
at meetings on
their behalf
A shareholder may exercise the right to vote
at a meeting either by being present in
person or by proxy. A proxy is entitled to
attend and be heard, and to vote, at a
meeting of shareholders as if the proxy
were the shareholder.
A proxy must be appointed by notice in
writing signed by or, in the case of an
electronic notice, sent by the shareholder to
the company. The notice of appointment
must state whether the appointment is for a
particular meeting or a specified term.
The position is comparable under the
Corporations Act.
To be effective, the proxy appointment (and
any authority under which the appointment
is made) must be given to the company at
least 48 hours before the meeting.

NEW ZEALAND AUSTRALIA
Changes in the
rights
attaching to
shares
A company must not take action that affects
the rights attached to shares unless that
action has been approved by a special
resolution of each affected interest group.
(An “Interest group” in relation to an action
or proposal affecting the rights attached to
shares means a group of shareholders
whose affected rights are identical and
whose rights are affected by the action or
proposal in the same way and who
comprise the holders of one or more
classes of shares in the company).
The Corporations Act allows a company to
set out in its constitution the procedure for
varying or cancelling rights attached to
shares in a class of shares.
If a company does not have a constitution,
or has a constitution that does not set out a
procedure, the rights may only be varied or
cancelled by:
• a special resolution passed at a
meeting for a company with a share
capital of the class of members holding
shares in the class; or
• a written consent of members who hold
at least 75% of the votes in the class.
Shareholder
protections
against
oppressive
conduct
A shareholder or former shareholder of a
company (or any other entitled person) who
considers that the affairs of a company have
been (or are being, or are likely to be)
conducted in a manner that is (or any act or
acts of the company have been, or are, or
are likely to be) oppressive, unfairly
discriminatory, or unfairly prejudicial to him
or her in any capacity may apply to the court
for relief.
The court may, if it thinks it is just and
equitable to do so, make such orders as it
thinks fit.
Under the Corporations Act, shareholders
have statutory remedies for conduct that is:
• contrary to the interests of the
members as a whole; or
• oppressive to, unfairly prejudicial to, or
unfairly discriminatory against, a
member or members in that capacity or
in any other capacity.
The court can make any order as it
considers appropriate.
Shareholders’
rights to bring
or intervene in
legal
proceedings on
behalf of the
company
A court may, on the application of a
shareholder or director of a company, grant
leave to that shareholder or director to bring
proceedings in the name and on behalf of
the company or any related company, or
intervene in proceedings to which the
company or any related company is a party,
for the purpose of continuing, defending or
discontinuing the proceedings on behalf of
the company or related company. Leave
may only be granted if the court is satisfied
that either the company or related company
does not intend to bring, diligently continue
or defend, or discontinue the proceedings,
or it is in the interests of the company or
related company that the conduct of the
proceedings should not be left to the
directors or to the determination of the
shareholders as a whole.
No proceedings brought by a shareholder or
a director or in which a shareholder or a
director intervenes with leave of the court
(as described above) may be settled or
compromised or discontinued without the
approval of the court.
The Corporations Act permits certain
persons to apply to the court for leave to
bring proceedings on behalf of the
company, or to intervene in, proceedings to
which the company is a party for the
purpose of taking responsibility on behalf of
the company for those proceedings, or for a
particular step in those proceedings.
Those who may apply are members, former
members, persons entitled to be registered
as members of the company or a related
body corporate, officers and former officers
of the company.
The court must grant the application if it is
satisfied that:
• it is probable that the company will not
itself bring the proceedings, or properly
take responsibility for them, or for the
steps in them;
• the applicant is acting in good faith;
• it is in the best interests of the company
that the applicant be granted leave;
• if the applicant is applying for leave to
bring proceedings, there is a serious
question to be tried; and
• either at least 14 days before making
the application, the applicant gave
written notice to the company of the
intention to apply for leave and of the
reasons for applying, or the court
considers it appropriate to grant leave.
Proceedings brought or intervened in with
leave must not be discontinued,
compromised or settled without the leave of
the court.

NEW ZEALAND AUSTRALIA
“2 strikes” rule
in relation to
remuneration
reports
There is no equivalent of a “2 strikes” rule in
relation to remuneration reports in New
Zealand. New Zealand companies are not
required to publish remuneration reports so
shareholders necessarily cannot vote on
them.
There is, however, an obligation to state in
the company’s annual report, in respect of
each director or former director of the
company, the total of the remuneration and
the value of other benefits received by that
director or former director from the company
during the relevant accounting period and,
in respect of employees or former
employees of the company (not being
directors of the company) who received
remuneration and any other benefits in their
capacity as employees during the relevant
accounting period, the value of which was
or exceeded NZ$100,000 per annum, the
number of such employees, stated in
brackets of NZ$10,000.
The Corporations Act requires that a
company’s annual report must include a
report by the directors on the company’s
remuneration framework (called a
“remuneration report”).
For a listed company, a resolution must be
put to a shareholder vote at each annual
general meeting of the company’s
shareholders (AGM) that the remuneration
report be adopted. The result of that vote is
advisory only, however, if more than 25% of
shareholders vote against the adoption of
the remuneration report at 2 consecutive
AGMs (i.e. 2 strikes) an ordinary (50%)
resolution must be put to shareholders at
the second AGM proposing that a further
meeting be held within 90 days at which all
of the directors who were directors when the
second remuneration report was approved
must resign and stand for re-election
(except for the managing director who may
continue to hold office indefinitely in
accordance with the ASX Listing Rules).

NEW ZEALAND AUSTRALIA
Related party
transactions
and interests
The company must comply with NZX Listing
Rule requirements in respect of related
party transactions, except to the extent this
obligation is modified by waivers or rulings
granted by NZX Regulation Limited in
respect of the company.
In particular, shareholder approval is
required for significant transactions between
a listed company and a “related party”. The
definition of related party catches a number
of persons, for example, a director of a
listed company, or the holder of a relevant
interest in 10% or more of a class of
securities of a listed company carrying
votes. A related party who is a direct party
to or a beneficiary of a material transaction
(and its associates) are prohibited from
voting in favour of a resolution to approve
that transaction.
The Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013
requires a director or officer of a listed
issuer who has a “relevant interest” in a
quoted financial product of the listed issuer
to give notice of this fact to NZX and to
disclose any such relevant interest in the
interests register of the listed issuer.
The Companies Act requires directors who
are “interested” in transactions or potential
transactions with the company to make
appropriate disclosure to the company.
Under a company’s constitution and the
NZX Listing Rules, interested directors will
generally not be permitted to vote on such
transactions.
Director remuneration requires approval of
shareholders under the NZX Listing Rules.
Certain share issues, redemptions and
buybacks, and certain “financial assistance”
in connection with the purchase of shares,
will also require shareholder approval if a
director (or an associated person of a
director) is party to that transaction.
Each New Zealand company is required to
keep an interests register, containing
particulars of certain director disclosure.
The company’s annual report must state
particulars of entries in the interests register
made during the accounting period.
Under the Corporations Act, public
companies must obtain shareholder
approval before giving a financial benefit to
a “related party” of the public company
unless an exemption applies. The
exemptions include where:
• the arrangement is on arm’s length
terms;
• the benefit is reasonable remuneration
paid to an officer or employee of the
company;
• the benefit is a reasonable indemnity or
insurance premium given to an officer
or employee of the company;
• the benefit is given to a “closely held
subsidiary”; or
• the benefit is given to all shareholders
and does not discriminate other
shareholders unfairly.
In addition, a company will be required to
comply with ASX Listing Rule requirements
in respect of related party transactions.
Unless an exception applies, shareholder
approval is required for:
• the acquisition of a substantial asset
from, or disposal of a substantial asset
to, among other persons, a related
party or a person who, together with
their associates, holds, or has held in
the six months before the relevant
transaction, 10%+ of the voting
securities;
• issuing or agreeing to issue securities
to related parties (including directors) or
a person who, together with their
associates, holds, or has held in the six
months before the relevant transaction,
a relevant interest in at least 30%+ the
voting securities, or a person who,
together with their associates, holds, or
has held in the six months before the
relevant transaction, a relevant interest
in at least 10%+ of the voting securities
and who has nominated a director to
the board of the entity;
• increasing the total remuneration pool
for directors;
• certain directors’ termination benefits;
and
• directors acquiring securities under an
employee incentive scheme.
The definition of related party includes,
among others, directors of the public
company, entities that control the public
company and directors of an entity that
controls the public company.
Under the ASX Listing Rules, a company is
also required to disclose the notifiable
interests of its directors at prescribed times
and any changes to those notifiable
interests.

3464-6770-2551, v. 1
NEW ZEALAND AUSTRALIA
Disclosure of
substantial
holdings
The Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013
requires every person who is a “substantial
product holder” in a listed issuer to give
notice to that listed issuer and NZX that they
are a substantial security holder.
“Substantial product holder” means, in
relation to a listed issuer, a person who has
a relevant interest in 5% or more of a class
of quoted voting securities of that listed
issuer.
The substantial product holder has ongoing
disclosure requirements to notify the listed
issuer and NZX of certain changes in the
number of voting securities in which the
substantial product holder has a relevant
interest or if there is any change in the
nature of any relevant interest in the
relevant holding or where that person
ceases to be a substantial product holder.
The Corporations Act requires every person
who is a substantial holder to notify the
listed company and ASX that they are a
substantial holder and give prescribed
information in relation to their holding if:
• the person begins to have, or ceases to
have, a substantial holding in the
company;
• there is a movement of at least 1% in
their holding; or
• the person makes a takeover bid for
securities of the company.
A person has a substantial holding if the
total votes attached to voting shares in the
company in which they or their associates
have relevant interests is 5% or more of the
total number of votes attached to voting
shares in the company or the person has
made a takeover bid for voting shares in the
company and the bid period has started and
not yet ended.
These provisions do not apply to Winton as
an entity established outside Australia.
However, Winton will be obliged to release
to ASX any substantial holder notices that
are released to NZX.
How takeovers
are regulated
The New Zealand position under the
Takeovers Code and Financial Markets
Conduct Act 2013 is comparable to the
Australian position in relation to the
regulation of takeovers.
Substantial product holder notice
requirements apply to relevant interests in
5% or more of a company’s quoted voting
securities (as discussed above under the
heading “Disclosure of substantial
holdings”).
A 20% threshold applies (under which a
person is prevented from increasing the
percentage of voting rights held or
controlled by them in excess of that
threshold or from becoming the holder or
controller of an increased percentage of
voting rights if they already hold or control
more than 20% of the voting rights), subject
to certain “compliance options” (including
full and partial offers, 5% creep over 12
months in the 50% to 90% range, and
acquisitions with shareholder approval).
Compulsory acquisitions are permitted by
persons who hold or control 90% or more of
voting rights in a company.
The Corporations Act prohibits a person
from acquiring a relevant interest in issued
voting shares in a listed company if any
person’s voting power in the company will
increase from 20% or below to more than
20%, or from a starting point that is above
20% and below 90%.
Exceptions to the prohibition may apply
(e.g. acquisitions with shareholder approval,
3% creep over 6 months and rights issues
that satisfy prescribed conditions).
Substantial holder notice requirements
apply (as discussed above under the
heading “Disclosure of substantial
holdings”).
Compulsory acquisitions are permitted by
persons who hold 90% or more of securities
or voting rights in a company.
The New Zealand takeovers regime, not the
Australian takeovers regime, will apply to
Winton as a foreign company.

About Winton
Winton is a residential land developer that specialises in
developing integrated and fully masterplanned
1
communities.
To date, Winton’s primary business has been developing and
selling ‘lots’ of residential land.
2
In some cases, Winton also
provides land and building packages, where Winton contracts
with specialist builders to provide a home on the land it is
selling. Similarly, where the market or site dictates, Winton
develops apartment buildings as part of its masterplanned
developments.
Winton has a national footprint in New Zealand, with six
masterplanned communities in the North Island and six in the
South Island. Winton also has one masterplanned community
in NSW, Australia, although once this development is
completed, Winton’s future focus expects to be solely on
development activity in New Zealand. The Australian project
is managed through Head Office with assistance from an
independent contractor Development Manager.
Winton is also actively expanding its product offering by
leveraging its land development expertise to expand into
the premium retirement and aged care sector.
A
cross Winton’s 13 masterplanned communities, we have
a portfolio of 29 projects, which are expected to yield a
combined total of 7,442 residential lots, dwellings, apartment
units, Retirement Village Units and commercial lots. As at
15 November 2021, $703 million of these properties have been
pr
e-sold. Of these pre-sales, $620 million are unconditional,
with approximately 54% (by value) sold to New Zealand
Government entities (Kāinga Ora and Ministry of Education).
Combined with the $32 million of properties settled between
1 July and 15 November 2021, the pre-sales represent over
78% of properties (by value) forecast to settle by June 2023.
Of the $83 million of conditional pre-sales, $66 million relates
t
o an option in place at our Lakeside development with a
New Zealand Government entity (Kāinga Ora).
1 A masterplanned community is a large scale residential development with recreational and commercial amenities which are planned and developed by a single developer.
2 Lots refers to a parcel of land within a Winton development.
3 No Shares are to be sold by existing shareholders as part of the Offer.
In 2018, Winton launched the retirement living brand,
Northbrook, to leverage our existing expertise and capability
in residential land acquisition and development to build and
operate a premium retirement living business. Winton is
assembling an experienced team to execute this strategy, led
by ex-Summerset Group CEO Julian Cook. Retirement village
developments will be constructed within Winton’s existing
and future masterplanned residential communities where
there is a market for a premium retirement village offering.
Winton believes its retirement and aged care offerings will be
perceived as premium due to their size, location, the standard
of high quality materials to be used throughout, the extensive
care options, activities and amenities to be available to
residents and the corresponding price. Winton is currently
developing five retirement village projects, with the first
retirement properties expected to be completed during 2024.
Purpose of this Offer
The primary purpose of this Offer is for Winton to raise
additional equity funding:
-
t
o accelerate our strategy to undertake large development
projects; and
- fund future land acquisitions and development costs.
As Winton expects to operate with a conservative capital
structure, using little to no debt, a further portion of proceeds
are also intended to be applied to repay a project finance
debt facility relating to the Lakeside development, expected
to be on or about June 2022. In addition, some of the
proceeds will be used to fund Offer costs.
As part of the Institutional Offer, TC Akarua Sub Trust has
received an allocation of 51,453,564 Shares under the Offer.
TC Akarua Sub Trust is a real estate vehicle managed by
Macquarie Asset Management, part of Macquarie Group.

multi-purpose potential (e.g. residential, retirement, commercial), which
materially reduces the cost of land and Winton’s overall development cost.

retirement village resident.

development experts, experienced contractors and industry relationships
across residential land development in order to minimise development risk
and complete projects on time and within budget.
-
Apply Winton’s purchasing power and processes used for our core residential
land development business, refined for the specific requirements of retirement
village developments.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT6
- Land Acquisition Risk – Winton’s continued growth is dependent on our ability to acquire attractive sites for the
development of new masterplanned communities. Winton competes with other acquirers of that land and may not
always be able to secure its preferred sites, or may have to pay more for those sites than anticipated.
- Consenting Risk – Winton’s development activities typically require us to achieve rezoning or resource consents to
allow development of our masterplanned communities. Rezoning and consents may be granted on terms which are
less favourable than Winton originally anticipated.
-
Pr
oject Development Risk – When developing sites, Winton needs to complete works within projected budget
and timetable in order to generate the returns we expect. Our ability to do so is subject to various uncertainties,
including risk arising from unexpected cost increases (including those caused by labour shortages and/or increased
labour rates) and delays in the completion of our developments (including due to inclement weather).
-
R
etirement Village Development and Operation Risk – Winton’s planned move into retirement village and
aged care (under the Northbrook brand) is a new business. Winton will need to develop and implement new
operational strategies and grow its internal team capability to operate a retirement village and aged care offering.
The retirement village and aged care market is an established market with a number of large existing operators.
The sector also carries regulatory risk, being exposed to health, consumer and land development regulatory
frameworks. Future regulatory change for the industry may have an adverse impact on us.
-
Housing Mark
et and Sales Risk – Winton’s ability to achieve the forecast sales and/or forecast sales prices within
each of our developments is dependent on the housing market conditions in each of the areas in which our
developments are located. Lower demand for housing may affect Winton’s ability to achieve anticipated sales
volumes or prices.
-
COVID-19 Disruption Risk – Winton’s business is exposed to the impact of disruption from COVID-19 and
Government measures taken to attempt to control it. Changes in COVID 19 alert levels or frameworks, future
lockdowns or a new pandemic may adversely affect our business.

uncertainty about Winton’s future performance and returns is suitable for
you. The price of the Shares should reflect the potential returns and the
particular risks of the Shares. Winton considers that the most significant
risk factors that could affect the value of the Shares are:

W
inton was founded in 2009 as a property investment
business and in response to New Zealand’s housing
shortage, shifted focus to residential land development in
20
14, becoming one of New Zealand’s largest residential
land developers.
In 20

living brand and is committed to developing and operating
a wide portfolio of premium retirement living villages across

As c

remain heavily invested in Winton.
W
inton is raising up to $350 million of new capital via the
Offer and is seeking a listing on the NZX Main Board and ASX.
The proceeds of the Offer will be used primarily to provide
additional equity funding to continue to execute on our
growth strategy – for both land development and retirement
village operations. Winton operates with a conservative

retirement living brand, Northbrook will provide

Under the guidance of experienced industry leader Julian

social impacts, adopting best practice industry standards
concerning environmental controls, and engaging with iwi
and councils in order to produce developments that meet
the needs of New Zealand’s communities.

, we intend to remain a majority New Zealand
owned company. This provides us with a competitive
advantage in being able to continuously acquire large parcels
of development land without being subject to New Zealand’s
strict foreign investment rules.

SECTION 2:
Winton and
what it does.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT10
Winton Land Limited (Winton) is the parent company of
a group of companies, and is expected to be listed on the
NZX Main Board and ASX on completion of the Offer with
the ticker code ‘WIN’ on the NZX Main Board and ‘WTN’
on the ASX. A wholly owned subsidiary of Winton, Winton
Group Holdings Limited is the sole shareholder in the
various development entities that own the relevant land and
undertake the development activities on each of the projects.
Overview of Winton
Winton is a residential land developer that specialises in
developing integrated and fully masterplanned communities.
To date, Winton’s primary business has been developing and
selling residential lots. Winton intends to expand its product
offering and leverage its significant land development
expertise and existing large scale residential projects to
expand into the premium retirement village sector.
Winton has a national footprint in New Zealand, with six
masterplanned communities in the North Island and six in the
South Island. Winton also has one masterplanned community
in NSW, Australia, although Winton’s future focus will be on
development activity in New Zealand. The Australian project
is managed through Head Office with assistance from an
independent contractor Development Manager.
Across the 13 communities, Winton has a portfolio of 29
projects, which are expected to yield a combined total of
approximately 7,442 residential lots, dwellings, apartment
units, Retirement Village Units and commercial lots.
As at 15 November 2021, $703 million of these properties
have been pre-sold. Of these pre-sales, $620 million are
unconditional, with approximately 54% (by value) sold to
New Zealand Government entities. Combined with the
$32 million of properties settled between 1 July and
15 November 2021, the pre-sales represent over 78%
of properties (by value) forecast to settle by June 2023.
Of the $83 million of conditional pre-sales, $66 million relates
t
o an option in place at our Lakeside development with
a New Zealand Government entity (Kāinga Ora).
A
ccess to housing is a significant issue facing New Zealanders,
with market commentators estimating that New Zealand has
a housing shortage of around 55,000-75,000
5
units. Winton’s
scale and national footprint ensures it is a relevant contributor
to addressing this shortage. Winton has a long-term
development target of 1,000 lots and dwellings per annum
and over 200 Retirement Village Units per annum.
Winton has the ability to originate, assess and execute on the
acquisition of a broad range of development opportunities,
and possesses strong relationships with Government bodies,
iwi, contractors, and real estate agents, providing support for
rezoning and consenting, development, and sales.
Winton prides itself on delivering vibrant new neighbourhoods
with a focus on the residents, public and the environment.
Winton’s masterplanned communities integrate commercial
precincts, shared recreation spaces, and other amenities for
residents and the public to access.
Winton undertakes the acquisition of land, obtaining
necessary rezoning and resource consent approvals,
contracting for civil works including roading and
infrastructure, and selling the completed residential lots.
In some cases, Winton also provides land and building
packages, where Winton contracts with specialist builders to
provide a home on the land it is selling. Winton’s core focus
has been, and will continue to be, residential development.
Construction activities are undertaken by capable and
experienced third parties under contract to Winton. The sale
of residential lots, as opposed to land and building packages,
comprises 79% of Winton’s prospective development pipeline
(by number of units). Similarly, where the market or site
dictates, Winton develops apartment buildings as part of its
masterplanned developments.
In 2018, Winton launched Northbrook, our retirement living
brand, to leverage our existing expertise and capability in
residential land acquisition and development to build and
operate a premium retirement living business. Winton is
assembling an experienced team to execute this strategy,
led by ex-Summerset CEO Julian Cook. Retirement village
developments are, and will continue to be, constructed within
Winton’s masterplanned communities. Winton believes its
retirement and aged care offerings will be perceived as
premium due to their size, location, the standard of high
quality materials to be used throughout, the extensive care
options, activities and amenities to be available to residents
and the corresponding price. Winton has commenced the
process of developing five retirement village projects and is
at various stages of seeking resource consents, with the first
retirement properties expected to be completed during 2024.
Winton is focused on continuing to expand upon our
development portfolio through our origination strategy, with
a specific focus on acquiring plots of land in growing towns
and cities which are of sufficient scale and are adjacent to
bodies of water. Winton’s strong track record of successful
developments demonstrates our capability in navigating
New Zealand’s regulatory environment and that we are well
positioned to meet potential regulatory change.
Winton’s shareholding
Winton is currently owned by Korama Limited (79.0%),
Wanaka Partners, LLC (13.9%), and JWAJ Limited (7.1%),
together the Existing Shareholders.
The Existing Shareholders will not be selling any shares as

WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT12
Winton’s History
Winton was founded in 2009 by Chris and Michaela
Meehan, operating initially as a property-based
investment business.
From 2014, Winton leveraged its robust equity position and strong foundation
in real estate to build the residential development business as it stands today.
Winton’s expertise in project evaluation and risk mitigation strategy, together
with its conservative capital structure have established it as one of
New Zealand’s largest residential land developers.
In 20
18 Winton launched Northbrook, our retirement living brand, and in
2021 we hired ex-Summerset Group CEO Julian Cook to lead the retirement
living s
trategy.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT13
- Winton’s ~640 hectare development portfolio includes
5,909 residential lots, 917 Retirement Village units, 235
apartment units, 108 residential dwellings, and 273
commercial lots, in various stages of development.
-
Across Winton’s portfolio, we have a total estimated Gross
Development Value (GDV) of $3,205 million in residential
and $1,326 million in retirement living.
-
Winton’s current development portfolio is expected to be
completed in various stages from FY22 to FY39, providing
Winton with an extended pipeline for development.
-
Winton has a strong focus on New Zealand’s growth
corridors. 78% of lots are in the Auckland region, which is
forecast to grow at an average of 1.1% per year between
2018 and 2048.
8
We are well placed to continue to provide
Aucklanders with residential properties as Auckland
continues to grow.
-
Winton regards the development and operation of premium
retirement villages under the Northbrook brand as a highly
complementary and value-adding component of our
existing land development business. Our existing property
assets are expected to provide significant benefits for the
retirement living strategy, with retirement villages planned
across both current developments and new sites.
GDV is gross development value.
GDV is Winton’s estimated gross
sales value of the relevant project
as at 30 June 2021 (including GST
and excluding lots already settled)
as if that project were complete and
sold based on prevailing market
conditions on that date. For the
avoidance of doubt, no escalation
in the sales value of lots/units has
been assumed, except for pre-sold
units which are based on the relevant
contractual arrangements. GDV is
an important metric for Winton as it
reflects Winton’s estimate of market
demand and planning outcomes and
is continually assessed and monitored
by Winton as projects progress.

High quality products and significant early cost recovery
reduces development risk.
2
- Winton has a strong reputation for delivering high quality
products throughout its masterplanned communities
and this is underpinned by relationships with real estate
agents acr
oss the country, driving robust pre-sales and
early cost recovery.
-
As at 15 November 2021, $703 million of these properties
have been pre-sold. Of these pre-sales, $620 million are
unconditional, with approximately 54% (by value) sold
to New Zealand Government entities. Combined with
the $32 million of properties settled between 1 July and
15 November 2021, the pre-sales represent over 78% of
properties (by value) forecast to settle by June 2023.
Of the $83 million of conditional pre-sales, $66 million
r
elates to an option in place at our Lakeside development
with a New Zealand Government entity (Kāinga Ora).
The remainder of pre-sales are to private parties who pay
a deposit (the majority of which ar
e 10% of purchase price,
held in our solicitors’ trust account).
- The quality of execution and desirable locations of Winton’s
developments are a key part of our risk management
strategy, as is our approach to pre-sales. High quality assets
in desirable locations present a lower sales risk and attract
strong engagement from buyers and real estate agents.
-
Winton’s sales strategy across all of its projects is to seek
pre-sales off the plan (i.e. before development of the stage
commences). The initial pre-sales are at a price that is at
a moderate discount to the prevailing market, providing
customers with a more affordable purchase. This pre-sales
strategy ensures that the project is accepted by the market,
provides Winton with substantial certainty on contracted
revenue, and decreases the risk associated with the project.
-
Lots sold during the later stages of Winton’s projects are
often larger in size and are typically sold, subject to market
conditions, at higher prices and completed with higher
margins reflecting shared infrastructure constructed at
earlier stages.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT15
Ability to navigate regulatory framework
to successfully deliver projects.
3
- Winton has significant experience navigating the rezoning
and resource consenting processes that are required to
consent large parcels of land suitable for masterplanned
communities of scale, as demonstrated by our track record
of success.
-
The complexity of the New Zealand regulatory environment
provides a competitive advantage to Winton, as there
are a limited number of residential developers with the
expertise required to execute large-scale projects. Winton’s
significant in-house expertise and existing relationships
with external experts means that we are well positioned
to meet potential regulatory change, including proposed
reforms to the Resource Management Act.
-
The structural headwinds to residential land development
have been a contributor to the strong demand for residential
properties in New Zealand, driving robust margins for
Winton and resulting in a significant market opportunity.
-
Winton has implemented measures to ensure that it will not
be an ‘overseas person’ under the Overseas Investment Act,
meaning that it will not be subject to the foreign ownership
restrictions that some of our competitors are subject to for
land purchases in New Zealand.

WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT16
Retirement living strategy provides exposure to New Zealand’s aging
population and leverages Winton’s existing development capabilities.
4
- By 2051, New Zealand’s population aged 75 and over is
projected to increase from approximately 330,000 to
nearly 830,000.
10
- Over the same time period, the population of the 65+
group is expected to more than double in Auckland and
Queenstown.
- Winton is well positioned to leverage our existing expertise
in residential land development, combined with our growing
retirement living team, to provide New Zealanders with high
quality retirement living options.
-
Winton’s scale, expertise, and access to development
sites provides us with a significant advantage in navigating
the typically high barriers t
o entry of retirement village
development.
-
Winton’s strategy is focused on the emerging premium,
high end retirement village market, which has limited
competitors, particularly at the scale and national footprint
at which Winton expects to operate. Winton believes its
retirement and aged care offerings will be perceived as
premium due to their size, location, the standard of high
quality materials to be used throughout, the extensive care
options, activities and amenities to be available to residents
and the corresponding price.

WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT19
This section summarises the two key industries Winton operates in,
being the residential development industry and the retirement industry.
RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY
Residential land developers seek to acquire large
parcels of land that are suitable for masterplanned
communities, with a view to developing these into
individual titled lots for subsequent sale.
Following the design of the masterplanned community,
rezoning and/or resource consents may be required to allow
the development to proceed. Some developers will only
acquire land where the land is already zoned for the intended
development. Others are restricted under the overseas
investment rules to buying limited sized parcels of existing
residential zoned land only.
The Market in which Winton Operates
Once the required consents are in place, earthworks and civil
works (such as the installation of required infrastructure,
utilities to each lot boundary and the construction of roads)
are undertaken to create the masterplanned community and
to service each of the individual lots.
Upon completion of the works, the titling process creates
individual property titles, which are then sold to individual
customers. Some developers will also develop these individual
lots into dwellings (such as houses and apartments) for
subsequent sale.
Winton operates across the full spectrum of the residential
land development (including the design, rezoning and
consenting processes).

WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT20
New Zealand has experienced an extended period
of strong population growth, in contrast to limited
supply of new housing stock.
20
This has resulted
in a national housing shortage, contributing
to historically high house prices and increased
Government intervention in the housing market.
These factors are discussed in detail below.
Competitive landscape
While there are a number of residential property developers
in New Zealand, few are involved in residential land
development at scale or have a national footprint across
New Zealand.

21 A project finance debt facility relating to the Lakeside development is expected to be
repaid using part of the proceeds of the Offer on or about June 2022.
Winton’s two major listed competitors in the residential
development space are Fletcher Building and CDL
Investments. Winton understands that both are likely to be
considered ‘overseas persons’ under the OIA. This constrains
their ability to purchase large areas of developable land
as they are required to obtain consent from the Overseas
Investment Office when that land is considered ‘sensitive
land’ for the purposes of the OIA.
Many of Winton’s competitors also construct dwellings
and improvements on their land via in-house contractors
or related entities, while Winton contracts out all civil and
construction work to third party contractors, generally on
a fixed price basis which reduces our exposure to
c
onstruction risk.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT21
Demand for housing
Demand in the residential land development industry is
driven by demand for housing.
Demand f
or housing in New Zealand has grown rapidly in
recent years, with first home buyers particularly active in
the past year.
22
This increase in demand has been driven
by a combination of factors, including:
-
New Zealand’s population having grown an average of
1.3% per year over the last 20 years, with net migration
averaging 22,000 individuals per annum since 1991,
40,000 since 2010 and 64,000 since 2014;
23
- record high house prices having boosted homeowners’
housing equity in conjunction with elevated incomes due
to a strong labour market and low unemployment rate;
24
- interest rates falling such that average household interest
payments for homeowners with mortgages as a share of
disposable income have reduced to 5.9%, after peaking
at 14.0% in 2008;
25
and
- support from Government subsidies including First
Home Grants, the establishment of the Progressive Home
Ownership Fund, and Government underwritten First
Home Loans, as well as the ability for first home buyers to
contribute their KiwiSaver funds.
Over the next thirty years, housing demand is expected to
ease due to slower projected population growth.
26
However,
population growth provides a conservative estimate of future
housing demand, as there are other factors likely to add to
core demand, including longer life expectancies, the trend
to smaller household occupation sizes, a growing demand
for healthy, warm and environmentally friendly homes,
27
and
the potential for increased migration.
28
Winton expects there
to be continued demand for its products as Government
initiatives designed to manage demand for housing have
tended to exclude new builds.
29
Housing supply
Concurrently with an elevated level of demand for housing
in New Zealand, due to population growth exceeding the
number of building consents issued for an extended period
of time, New Zealand has faced a shortage of housing supply.

Building consents – housesSection sales
A critical factor constraining supply is the limited availability
of developable residential land. The sale of residential lots has
remained below levels seen in the early 2000s, which has in
turn constrained building consent issuance for new homes.
While building consent issuances have accelerated in the past
year, land availability remains tight and the sale of lots has
remained low compared to overall house sales, contributing
to higher land prices.

Supply shortages are expected to persist out to 2024,
assuming an opening shortage of about 70,000 and a
modest pick-up in demand from a gradual reopening of
New Zealand’s border in 2022.
35
Potential risks to sustained
housing supply include materials and worker shortages in the
construction sector, and a limited pipeline of residential lots
in the near-term.

Government initiatives to alter supply and
demand dynamics
In recent years, the New Zealand Government has announced
a number of initiatives designed to boost supply and
manage demand to stimulate a sustainable supply of
housing. Although many of these are ‘macro level’ initiatives
designed to boost supply (reforming planning laws, KiwiBuild,
infrastructure funding) or manage demand (extending the
bright-line tax rule,
37
changing interest deductibility rules
for property investors and restricting the ability of overseas
persons to buy property), other initiatives provide incentives
favouring new builds and first home buyers, which are a key
target market for Winton’s development activities.
Specific initiatives targeting first home buyers include:
- The First Home Grant initiative, which entitles a person to a
$5,000 grant for an existing property or $10,000 for a new
build if they have contributed regularly to KiwiSaver for five
or more years.
38
The Government has recently increased the
income and price caps on these grants.
39
- The Progressive Home Ownership (PHO) Fund, which
is a $400m investment to help between 1,500 and 4,000
Ne
w Zealanders buy their own homes.
-
T
he First Home Partner scheme which enables first home
buyers to share ownership of a house with Kāinga Ora.
While the first home buyer is the majority homeowner and
occupier, Kāinga Ora owns a share in the home which the
first home buyer will buy out over time.
40
Residential development regulation
This section sets out an overview of New Zealand’s regulatory
framework for residential land development. This is the
regulatory environment which applies to Winton’s primary
business activities.
The New Zealand planning system is primarily regulated
under the Resource Management Act, which sets the purpose
and principles of planning in New Zealand and establishes the
hierarchy of planning documents and their functions.
The Resource Management Act also establishes the
functions and delega
tions of authorities that exercise powers
under that Act and sets out the process for dealing with
applications for a variety of activities, including development.
In February 2021, the Government announced plans to repeal
and replace the Resource Management Act with three new
pieces of legislation, which are proposed to simplify the
planning process and reduce costs and timing. Key changes
include stronger national direction powers and one combined
plan per region, with a focus on better urban design.
Although the details of this reform are not yet available,
Winton does not expect the reforms to substantially lower
barriers to entry or materially affect Winton’s approach to
development.
The Resource Management Act currently allows for National
Policy Statements which influence local planning outcomes
– relevant National Policy Statements include statements
requiring regional and district councils to ensure there is
sufficient zoned land available for projected population
growth, ensuring that the development of former potentially
or known contaminated land is decontaminated and managed
using methods which are safe for the environment and
community, and standards relating to protecting fresh water
from degradation due to works within lakes and streams and
as a result of runoff from earthworks and stormwater.
Regional plans are produced by regional councils to deal with
regionally significant issues, such as air quality earthworks
or water quality. District councils produce a detailed district
plan for their area (typically reviewed every 12–15 years) and
set the objectives, policies, zoning pattern, development rules
and assessment criteria for any consents.
Private developers such as Winton are entitled to apply for
a plan change to a district plan (known as a private plan
change) which are extensively assessed by the council and
ultimately judged against national, regional, and key district
planning policies. For example Winton’s Northlake and
Lakeside developments were introduced into the respective
district plans of the Queenstown, Lakes District Council and
the Waikato District Council by way of a private plan change.
The Urban Development Act is a new piece of planning
legislation, which came into effect in August 2020 with the
aim of tackling long-term barriers to urban development by
providing
access to:
-
a s
treamlined approval process for special types of complex
and transformative development projects - called Specified
Development Projects;
-
a t
ool-kit of development powers when undertaking
Specified Development Projects; and
-
land acquisition powers for Kāinga Ora, for when it is
carrying out urban development projects (including
Specified Development Projects).
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT23
The UDA allows for the establishment of Specified
Development Projects, which are designed to deliver
improved urban development outcomes within defined areas,
including a mix of housing types, good transport connections,
employment and business opportunities, key infrastructure,
community facilities, and green spaces. Winton submitted
a Specified Development Project Application under the
Urban Development Act for our Sunfield development in
Oct
ober 2021. Winton was advised on 19 November 2021 by
Kāinga Ora that the project was not accepted for assessment
as a potential Specified Development Project under s29 of
the Urban Development Act, and that a partnership with
Kāinga Ora as anticipated by that Act may add complexity
and uncertainty to a project that generally appears well
suited to the traditional Resource Management Act pathway.
Winton has subsequently gone to the relevant Ministers’
offices since this advice and requested that the Ministers
use their directive powers to insist that Kāinga Ora consider
Sunfield under the Urban Development Act.

RETIREMENT INDUSTRY
At a high level, the retirement industry in New
Zealand comprises the retirement village and
aged care sectors.
The retirement village sector provides accommodation
to people (typically over 75 years of age) who can live
independently or with minimal assistance. In contrast, the
aged care sector provides residential aged care services
(including rest home, hospital, and dementia level care) to
individuals who are unable to live independently or require a
greater degree of assistance.
Winton, under its Northbrook brand, will predominantly
operate in the retirement village sector, with a relatively small
exposure to aged care services within its retirement properties.
Competitive landscape
Outside of the large, NZX-listed retirement village operators,
the retirement industry in New Zealand is highly fragmented,
with many small operators. Across the New Zealand market
there are limited premium retirement village options and there
is no single operator who is focused on the premium market
on a nationwide basis at the scale targeted by Northbrook.
Most large New Zealand operators provide both retirement
village and aged care offerings through an integrated model,
whereby retirement village and aged care services are offered
within the same village. Other operators, such as Oceania and
Arvida, operate both aged care and retirement village offerings.
An innovation in the aged care market is the growth of
Care Suites. Care Suites are rooms within an aged care
facility which provide a superior offering to residents when
compared to traditional care beds. Within Northbrook
Retirement Villages, this will generally be by way of larger
room size, superior fixtures and fittings and amenities
within the room.
W
inton, through the Northbrook brand, intends to provide
a nationwide retirement offering focused on the premium
segment of the market. All Northbrook villages will offer
aged care services, thereby providing an integrated offering
of independent living and aged care for residents. Winton’s
intention is to commence building the village’s main central
and care facilities in the early stages of the development,
demonstrating the premium level Northbrook facilities that
will be available.
Demand for retirement living
Continued demand for both retirement villages and aged
care is underpinned by population growth and New Zealand’s
ageing population. The number of New Zealanders over the
age of 75 is expected to increase from 332,000 in 2020 to
833,000 by 2048.
41
Demand for premium retirement options is also expected to
increase due to historically high levels of household wealth.
41 JLL New Zealand Retirement Villages and Aged Care Whitepaper, June 2021.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT25
Retirement village market structure
The New Zealand retirement village sector consists of
approximately 36,345 units across 422 villages.
42
Based on
forecast population growth, this supply is expected to grow
from a current build rate of 2,000 units per annum to 2,500
units per annum.
43
New Zealand retirement village providers
include corporate, private and not-for-profit entities. While
New Zealand’s ageing population is largely responsible for
growing demand, the New Zealand retirement village industry
has also seen increasing penetration with 14.3% of New
Zealand’s population over the age of 75 living
in a retirement village.
44
We expect this growth to continue in the future, driven by
improved relative affordability and high home ownership
rates among the current aged population, growing attraction
of retirement villages and the development of modern,
premium facilities designed to meet residents’ needs.
Retirement village funding
Independent Living Units are privately funded by residents
and provide four key income streams to the operator:
- Development margins;
- Deferred Management Fee (DMF);
- resale gains where a unit has appreciated in value; and
- weekly service fees.
When entering a retirement village, a resident generally
purchases the right to occupy a unit under an occupation
right agreement (
ORA), which may be in the form of a licence
to occupy, unit title or lease. The most common form of an
ORA is a license to occupy, whereby the resident is entitled
to live in the unit and access the village facilities and services.
Under this model, upon the e
xit of the resident and resale of
their unit, the resident is refunded the licence payment that
initially paid for the ORA, less any accrued DMF. The operator
therefore benefits from any capital gain or alternatively is
exposed to any capital depreciation when the unit is resold.
Development margins may be obtained where the value of
the initial ORA price exceeds the cost of development of the
unit over which the ORA is granted.
The DMF reflects a resident’s contribution to the
maintenance, management and upgrade of the village and is
deducted upon exit from the unit. DMF accrues monthly up to
a maximum total amount, generally between 20-30% of the
initial purchase price of the unit under the ORA. The standard
terms under the Northbrook ORA will provide for a 30% DMF
over a four year period for Independent Living Units and a
30% DMF over a two year period for Care Suites.
Residents also pay weekly service fees to cover a portion of
the daily operating costs of the village, though these typically
represent a minor portion of the total cost to residents.
Retirement village regulation
Operators of retirement villages must comply with the
Retirement Villages Act 2003 under which they must register
each village with the Registrar of Retirement Villages and have
a statutory supervisor appointed. The statutory supervisor is
responsible for protecting the financial interests of residents.
Winton will register each individual retirement village
development at the appropriate time.
The Retirement Villages Association of New Zealand is a
voluntary, nationally-based membership association which
represents operators, developers and managers of retirement
villages. Winton will apply for membership to the Retirement
Villages Association of New Zealand.
In June 2021, Te Ara Ahunga Ora Retirement Commission
released a report calling for a review of the Retirement
Villages Act 2003. Though to date no review has commenced,
Consumer NZ, the Retirement Village Residents Association
and the Law Society, among others, provided submissions in
support of a review being undertaken.
45
Aged care market structure
New Zealand’s aged care industry is made up of
approximately 38,500 beds across 673 facilities.
46
These beds provide one of three levels of care being:
- rest home;
- hospital; or
- dementia.
47
While the majority of these beds are paid for on a daily
or weekly basis by district health boards or residents
themselves, some are contracted under ORAs.

WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT26
Aged care funding
Funding for aged care beds and services can be provided by
the Government through district health boards, or privately
via resident payments.
Funding from district health boards comes in the form of
either a Residential Care Subsidy or Residential Care Loan.
Residential Care Subsidies are available for residents below
a certain asset threshold and Residential Care Loans are
available for residents above this threshold with funding
needs.
48
It is increasingly common for people entering care
facilities to pay an accommodation supplement to purchase
premium room services.
Aged care regulation
The aged care sector is regulated under the Health and
Disability Services (Safety) Act 2001, which requires all
residential aged care facilities to be certified by the Ministry
of Health.
New operators need to prove to the Ministry of Health that
they have the required policies and procedures in place before
achieving certification. This serves as a barrier to entry for
new operators to enter the sector. Winton will apply for the
required certification for its aged care centres as they come
nearer to opening.
In order to be eligible for the Government funding described
above, each facility must have an ARRC (Aged-Related
Residential Care) Services Agreement in place.
The ARRC Services Agreement is a national contract between
dis
trict health boards and aged care providers designed
to ensure a national standard of services are provided to
residents in long-term residential care.
49
To the extent required, Winton will apply for ARRC Services
Agreement for each development at the appropriate time.
Not achieving certification or being unable to enter into an
ARRC Services Agreement would constrain Winton’s ability
to enter the retirement villages market. Winton expects to be
able to achieve the relevant certification and enter into ARRC
Services Agreement. A further assessment and explanation
of how Winton intends to address the associated risks with
entry into the retirement village market can be found at

WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT27
Winton’s Operations and Strategy
Project origination
Winton originates projects through four primary channels:
- Direct approaches by Winton: Our senior management
team actively seeks out acquisition opportunities which are
not on the market for sale but which meet our investment
criteria, and to the extent they are suitable, may approach
the landowner to discuss an off market transaction.
-
R
eal estate agent network: Our strong relationships with
real estate agents across New Zealand results in early
notification when an opportunity, either on or off market,
which may be suitable becomes available.
-
Public processes: To the extent suitable land assets
become available on the market and a public process takes
place (for example an auction or tender process) we may
choose to participate.
-
Inbound enquiries: Our scale, national presence, and
reputation often solicits inbound enquiries from vendors
who believe their land would be suitable for a Winton
residential development.
Investment criteria
Winton’s investment criteria requires that acquisitions must
meet several conditions, depending on location and ultimate
intention for the relevant site. Winton’s main
criteria require acquisitions to:
-
be located adjacent to a growth centre;
-
be within close proximity to a body of water;
- have existing transportation links;
- be a strong candidate for residential zoning approval
(if not already zoned residential); and
-
be suitable f
or a large scale masterplanned
community development.
W
inton targets the acquisition of land which is not zoned for
residential use and with multi-use potential (e.g. residential,
retirement, commercial), to materially reduces the cost of
land and our overall development cost.
Evaluation process
Winton follows a comprehensive screening process to assess
potential investment opportunities. Qualified opportunities
that meet the investment criteria are subject to an initial
investment review process, followed by a detailed evaluation
to understand the risks and expected returns associated with
the potential project. This includes, but is not limited to:
-
mas
terplanning feasibility analysis to assess overall
suitability of the land for a Winton residential development
project and potential development options and returns;
-
risk assessments to understand potential development
risks, obstacles, mitigants and timeframes, including
potential residential rezoning risks; and
- infrastructure and services assessments, to confirm
that road, water, waste services, telecommunications
infrastructure and any other required services can be
accommodated.
Finally, potential acquisitions are ranked, with the better
acquisitions from a risk and return perspective progressing
through to Winton’s final investment approval process.
Once selected for acquisition, vendors are engaged for
final legal and commercial negotiation and documentation.
Land acquisition
A core part of Winton’s business involves the identification of strategically
positioned parcels of land that are suitable for development into large scale
masterplanned communities. Winton’s current land bank comprises a pipeline
of approximately 7,442 lots across 13 different masterplanned communities.
Our strategy is to continue to take a disciplined approach to acquiring quality
parcels of land at attractive prices and on beneficial contract terms in order
to extend and grow our development pipeline over time, via our process of
origination, evaluation, and acquisition.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT28
Zoning and consenting approvals
The New Zealand regulatory framework associated with
rezoning and obtaining appropriate resource consents for
large scale masterplanned communities is complex and time
consuming. Winton has a dedicated team of in-house and
external experts focused on achieving the required residential
zoning outcomes and resource consents to undertake
Winton’s masterplanned communities.
The zoning and consenting process involves the creation
of a project information memorandum, assessment of
environmental and other impacts, a community engagement
process, and the application for resource consent with the
relevant regional council. Development contributions, the
payments required to help councils recover the costs of new
infrastructure, are assessed as part of this process. The scale
of Winton’s residential developments means that most are
required to be classed as notified consents, and as such the
public is notified and able to provide input on the application.
Typically, the process takes between 12 and 48 months before
we receive the required approvals to begin civil works. Many
of these consenting processes are ultimately determined in
the Environment Court which is normal course of business
for large scale residential land developers.
Civil works, development of land
lots, and construction of fixed
improvements
After obtaining the necessary regulatory approvals, Winton
begins the civil works required to transform the land from
its natural condition into finished individual lots to allow
settlement to occur. The civil works comprise earthworks;
installation of utilities, construction of roading and other
residential infrastructure and landscaping. All civil works are
completed under contract by external parties, with contracts
secured through Winton’s existing procurement function.
Winton selects capable and highly experienced third parties
to carry out construction work and has a number of long term
relationships with leading contractors.
Projects are developed through a staged approach which
reduces risk and capital requirements. Stages are completed
and settled sequentially, with settlement proceeds from initial
stages providing additional funding for the execution of
subsequent stages.
Most lots are sold to customers who in turn then construct
their own home. However, Winton also contracts with third
party homebuilders, generally on a fixed price basis, to allow
Winton to market turnkey house and land products. Further,
we procure the construction of commercial buildings within
village centres in many of our masterplanned communities
to provide residents and the public with additional amenities.
The village centres typically include cafés, restaurants, early
childcare education centres and retail and/or commercial
tenancies. Once constructed and operational, the village
centres are then typically sold as tenanted buildings. Similarly,
where the market or site dictates, Winton develops apartment
buildings as part of the masterplanned developments.
Restrictive land covenants are imposed on the title of all
completed lots within Winton’s masterplanned communities
to ensure that any improvements to the land, whether they
be standalone dwellings, townhouses, apartment units,
commercial buildings, other amenities and landscaping are
consistent with Winton’s vision for the development. The
application of the land covenant ensures the ongoing quality
of the relevant masterplanned community and reinforces
Winton’s reputation as a residential land developer delivering
desirable, high quality developments.

WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT29
Marketing and sales
Winton has strong relationships with New Zealand’s largest
real estate agencies, who sell our product through high profile
marketing campaigns. Marketing campaigns generally include
the use of sales suites within each of our projects and target
online and traditional print advertising and where appropriate,
a radio and television presence.
Winton’s sales strategy across all of its projects is to seek
pre-sales off the plan (i.e. before development of each stage
commences). Initial pre-sales are often at a moderately
discounted price to the prevailing market, providing
customers with a more affordable purchase. Although pre-
sales revenue is not received by Winton until lots are settled,
the pre-sales strategy ensures that the project is accepted
by the market, provides Winton with substantial certainty
on contracted revenue for the stage, and decreases the risk
associated with the project and the relevant stage.
Prior to commencing the development of each stage, Winton
targets net expected revenue from pre-sold lots which exceed
the cost to develop the stage. This approach significantly
reduces the risk associated with the development of the stage,
as construction costs (which represents the majority of the
overall project expenditure) are not incurred until we have
a high degree of revenue certainty. It varies by project, but
Winton typically needs around 40% of lots to be pre-sold to
cover the development costs for each relevant stage.
Once sufficient certainty is achieved via pre-sales, Winton
funds the actual cost of developing each stage from revenue
from previous stages or other projects. The sales strategy of
seeking pre-sales off the plan is reinforced by the level of pre-
sales currently in place across its portfolio. As at 15 November
2021, there are $703m of gross pre-sales in place, of which
54% are to the New Zealand Government (Kāinga Ora and the
Ministry of Education). Of the $89 million of conditional pre-
sales, $66 million relates to an option in place at our Lakeside
development with Kāinga Ora. The necessary condition on
the part of Kāinga Ora to enable Winton to trigger the option
is expected to be satisfied and, in any event, if the condition
was not so satisfied, Winton expects it could sell such lots
at a price which would still provide it with a commercially
acceptable return.
As development of the project occurs and customers are able
to visualise the masterplanned community being created, later
development stages are able to be sold at higher margins.
Larger lots in more premium locations in the project are also
typically retained for later stages of development to achieve
higher sale values.
Construction and operation of
retirement villages
Northbrook was established in 2018 as Winton’s retirement
living brand. Winton is focused on the emerging premium
retirement village segment, which has limited competitors,
particularly at the scale at which Winton intends to operate.
Since 2018, we have:
-
established and undertaken marketing of the
Northbrook brand;
-
undertaken the design of the retirement villages that are
expected to be constructed on the five initial parcels of
land within the Northbrook portfolio;
- prepared and lodged resource consents;
-
appoint
ed Julian Cook (former CFO and later CEO of
Summerset Group) as the Head of Retirement, who is
managing the establishment of Winton’s retirement and
aged care operations; and
-
emplo
yed James Burgess as the Head of Vertical Living,
who manages the design, consenting and construction of
the Northbrook retirement villages.
Winton’s current retirement village pipeline comprises
approximately 917 Retirement Village Units consisting of
731 Independent Living Units and 186 Care Suites over
five villages with targeted delivery in FY24-FY27.
Northbr
ook villages are designed to facilitate a high end
later living experience, providing discerning customers with
upmarket units and high quality service. Winton’s retirement
villages are situated in attractive locations through New
Zealand and offer thoughtful design and premium facilities.
Incorporating retirement villages into Winton’s masterplanned
communities is a natural adjacency to Winton’s well
established land development business. We are able to
leverage our existing development capabilities and buying
power to reduce the cost and risk associated with a typical
greenfield retirement village development by constructing
villages within our existing large scale residential projects.
As an example, Winton aims to include, where possible,
a retirement village offering in its larger masterplanned
communities where residential rezoning is required.
Generally, the cost of land for these developments is much
lower than land which already permits the development of
retirement villages. This permits Winton to achieve a higher
development margin than if it were to purchase land already
zoned. Combining residential and retirement living in a single
development can also provide Winton with a competitive
advantage, as consenting processes are sometimes more
streamlined when a development caters to a broader
target market.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT30
Winton’s strategy is to own and operate the retirement
villages upon development completion. This will diversify
and add stability to our existing earnings and cash flows.
While this is a new business model for Winton which has
not previously operated in the retirement village and aged
care industry, the appointment of Julian Cook, ex-CEO
of Summerset Group provides us with a strong platform
on which to continue to build an experienced team.
Subject to registration under the Retirement Villages Act
2003, Winton has five existing sites to be developed into
Northbrook retirement villages. Earthworks and civil works
have commenced at the Wanaka and Arrowtown sites.
Masterplanning is underway at the remaining sites, following
which resource consent applications will be made. As such,
these retirement village developments remain subject to
change as the planning process progresses.
Refer also to overview table of Winton’s Retirement Living
Development Portfolio on page 16.
All Northbrook villages will offer aged care services. Initially,
rest home and hospital services will be provided. It is
proposed that secure dementia will be introduced over time.
Northbrook retirement units are intended be sold under
an ORA, with DMF accruing over four and two years for
Independent Living Units and Care Suites, respectively.
Premium external architects have been engaged to provide
architectural design services. The expertise of these architects
will provide Winton, and Northbrook, with an advantage
in designing premium retirement villages. Consistent with
Winton’s contracting strategy for civil and construction work,
construction of retirement villages will be undertaken under
contract with reputable and experienced contractors, with
commencement of building each village’s main central and
care facilities early on in the development.
Northbr
ook villages will generally be part of a wider Winton
development involving other residential uses. However, not
all Winton developments will contain a Northbrook village,
as the Northbrook brand will be focused on the premium
part of the retirement market. Including Northbrook villages
within Winton development projects is expected to provide
a number of benefits, including streamlined regulatory
processes compared to standalone developments, enhanced
economies of scale across both developments, and enhanced
Northbrook sales driven by the quality of the surrounding
Winton residential developments.

WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT39
Winton was advised on 19 November 2021 by Kāinga Ora
that the project was not accepted for assessment as a
potential Specified Development Project under s29 of the
Urban Development Act, and that a partnership with Kāinga
Ora as anticipated by that Act may add complexity and
uncertainty to a project that generally appears well suited
to the traditional Resource Management Act pathway.
Following this advice, Winton has engaged with the relevant
Ministers’ offices and requested that the Ministers use their
directive powers under s29 of the Urban Development Act
to insist that Kāinga Ora consider Sunfield under the Urban
Development Act.
Residential development has occurred along the entire
western and southern boundaries of the property, and
development of the property is the logical extension of
the urban intensification in this area of Auckland.
Upon c
ompletion Sunfield will comprise: a community
designed to enable ‘car-less’ living, 3,643 healthy homes,
250,000 sqm of employment, healthcare and education
buildings, a 4 hectare town centre, 2 schools, a further 6
retail hubs located throughout the community, permanent
employment opportunities for over 11,000 people, 22.8
hectares of open spaces, green links, recreation parks and
reserves and ecological offsets, an extensive restoration and
native planting of the core stream and wetland network, the
establishment of the Sunfield renewable solar energy network
for the community and the Sunbus autonomous electric

SUNFIELD
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT40
Sunfield Residential
Sunfield has been developed based on the concept of a
‘15-Minute Sustainable Neighbourhood’, which serves as an
organising principle for urban development and urban life.
It is designed to provide residents access to most, if not all,
resident needs within a short walk or bike ride from their
home. In addition, without the requirement for extensive
roading and individual garaging in the development, more
space is freed up for warmer, drier homes in Sunfield.
3,643 lots are planned and remaining for this development
at a GDV of $1,291m. Given the size and stage of the
development, target settlement is not until FY27 to FY39.
In October 2021, Winton lodged the Sunfield Specified Development
Project Application with Kāinga Ora, under the Urban Development Act
legislation. This application comprises both the residential and commercial
projects within this development.
Sunfield Commercial
Sunfield supports a shift away from travel and dependence on
private motor vehicles by providing local social, recreational,
education, and employment opportunities close to, or within,
residential areas. Sunfield will accommodate an increased
‘working from home’ option for its residents with shared
fle
xible working spaces.
The approximate 250,000 sqm of employment, healthcare
and education buildings, a four hectare town centre, two
schools and a further four retail hubs located throughout the
community is expected to create significant employment
opportunities.
Winton is targeting 236 lots with a GDV of $444m for the
commercial land part of the Sunfield development, and target
settlement is to occur earlier in FY26.

WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT50
Winton’s Environmental and Social Focus
Environmental
Winton must develop and build to adapt to the physical
risks of climate change. The increased frequency of weather-
related events, namely flooding in New Zealand, is a challenge
we must prepare for.
We must also do our part to reduce our emissions profile
over time in alignment with the global need to limit global
warming by 1.5°C.
Onsite
Winton must consider environmental risks and enhancement
at every part of the development process, from site selection
to consenting plans and implementation. In Winton’s
masterplanned communities, amenity and recreational space,
and nature access are key focuses during site selection and
design. Sites with natural features that can be protected,
enhanced, or completely restored are favoured. These
features provide the opportunity within a development
for flourishing fauna and flora and rich biodiversity, which
positively benefit residents within the community. These
natural features within our developments include wetlands,
waterways and native vegetation.
At Lakeside we are creating a significant wetland to support
healthy ecological and biosecurity outcomes and attract
birdlife like the Mātātā (Fernbird) wetland bird symbolised in
the Lakeside logo.
At Waterfall Park, substantial revitalisation steps were
implemented to improve stream health, birdlife, and
biodiversity. Steps include stock exclusion fencing to reduce
runoff, riparian planting along Mill Creek with ~6,000 native
shrubs and grasses and extensive bank stabilisation.
We use the most qualified ecologists possible to advise
on environmental considerations, and proactive measures
to protect and enhance these features and the associated
wildlife habitat.
During site development and construction, Winton adopts
best practice industry standards concerning environmental
controls and stormwater management.
Looking ahead, Winton will adopt the requirements under
the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures to
disclose more detail on the risks and opportunities for our
business and how different global warming scenarios would
impact our strategy.
Winton has a strong focus on environmental and social impacts, adopting best practice
industry standards concerning environmental controls, and engaging iwi and councils in
order to produce developments that meet the needs of New Zealand.
WATERFALL PARK
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT51
Social
Winton prides itself on the strong relationships it has
established with key stakeholders, including local councils
and Kāinga Ora, over time. Winton works together with these
stakeholders to create much-needed housing, and diverse
and thriving neighbourhoods.
As part of any due diligence process, rezoning and
consenting process, Winton prioritises early engagement
with respective iwi and local mana whenua to understand the
site’s specific cultural history and significance. At Lakeside,
we worked with each of Ngā Muka and Waikato-Tainui
to understand iwi concerns about the development of a
culturally significant site and addressed them accordingly,
resulting in a beneficial partnership of mutual trust and
respect. Incorporated into our design at Lakeside is a shared
community space known as the Iwi Reserve, street names
reflecting the history of the site and a planned cultural statue.
More broadly, we have worked with iwi on a number of
issues including wastewater improvements, natural waterway
improvements, wetland protection and housing.
While Winton is a relatively small team, it works with many
contractors on each site to develop the land and construct
homes and commercial spaces. We conduct a non-price
attributes assessment to reflect historical performance in
areas like health and safety and environmental conduct
during the tender process to select contractors.
On all sites, there is a strong culture of health and safety.
Each site has a site-specific safety plan with contractors
r
eporting against the plan on a regular basis. Incident
reporting (including near-miss reporting) is strongly
encouraged and is adopted by Winton’s contractors.
This reporting provides a useful tool for open discussion
on health and safety issues and continual improvements
onsit
e to processes and methodology.

Sustainable development goals
While Sunfield positively contributes to the majority of
the Sustainable Development Goals set out in the United
Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the
following goals are those that Sunfield will contribute to
in a more material way.
Goal 3:
Good Health and
Wellbeing
Goal 9:
Industry,
Innovation and
Infrastructure
Goal 7:
Affordable and
Clean Energy
Goal 11:
Sustainable Cities
and Communities
Goal 8:
Decent Work
and Economic
Growth
Goal 13:
Climate Action
Sunfield combines environmental
and social benefits
Sunfield is a new approach to urban living that results in
combined environmental and social benefits. Roads are
replaced with shared green spaces, planting and housing,
with solar energy powering the community. With 3,643
homes, it will deliver critical supply at a time when there
is an acute housing shortage in New Zealand without
overburdening existing infrastructure.
To enable this new sustainable way of living, Winton has
designed a community based on the urban design principle
of a 15-minute neighbourhood, where residents can live and
work locally. Most day-to-day needs will be met within a
15-minute walk or bike from home, including employment
opportunities, education, recreation, retail, and convenience.
In addition to increasing the housing supply, there are many
health benefits for residents from living locally, more active
transport options, less commutes and removal of gas used
in homes, in turn improving health outcomes.
B
y nearly eliminating personal cars, Sunfield will aid
New Zealand’s climate ambitions by significantly reducing
emis
sions from car use, enabling solar throughout the
community, and excluding gas connections. The flow on
social benefit is a lower cost way of living for residents.

Other equity securities of the Company
Under the Constitution, any other class of equity securities of Winton that ranks equally with, or in priority to, the Shares may be

The remuneration paid to the directors of Winton in FY22 will be higher than that paid in FY21. This reflects that, as a result of the
listing of Winton on the NZX Main Board and ASX, the directors have increased responsibilities and will be required to devote more
time to the performance of their duties as directors.
The fees for directors of Winton that will apply from listing have been fixed as a total pool of $600,000 per annum.
The directors are entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses incurred by them in
connection with their attendance at Board or shareholder meetings, or otherwise in connection with the Winton’s business.
Winton has granted indemnities, as permitted by the Companies Act and the FMCA, in favour of each of its directors. Winton also
maintains insurance for its directors and officers.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT58
Employee remuneration
There were 13 employees or former employees of Winton,
not being directors of the issuer, who, during the most
recent period, received remuneration and other benefits in
their capacity as employees, that in value was or exceeded
$100,000 per annum.

former employees in brackets of $10,000:

FY22 employee remuneration is expected to be higher than
FY21 as a result of Winton hiring additional employees that
are expected to receive remuneration in excess of $240,000,
although their total remuneration for FY22 remains to be
determined. In addition, selected employees will receive
shares in FY22 under the new LTI scheme outlined on page 57.
Material interests in Winton
Winton has agreed to pay selected employees a bonus
in recognition of their past service to Winton. The bonus
is payable conditional on the allotment of Shares under
the Offer and the amount payable to all of the selected
employees in aggregate is $4.8 million. The bonus will be
satisfied through the issuance of Shares to the selected
employees, with the number of Shares to be issued to
each participant to be determined by dividing the bonus
value allocated to each participant by the Issue Price. If
Winton is obliged to deduct, pay or withhold any relevant
amount of tax (including without limitation, PAYE, KiwiSaver
contributions or any other statutory deduction ordinarily
applying), then the issuance will be made net of these costs.
These shares will be subject to standard escrow conditions
and will not be able to be sold until the the publication
of Winton’s results for FY23.
Although not c
onsidered material interests for either
Winton or the relevant person, Winton notes the following
transactions have been entered into:
1. A Winton subsidiary, Avon Loop Developments Limited, is
the purchaser under a contract to purchase land at Avon
Loop, Christchurch from Avon Hotel Limited. Avon Hotel
Limited’s director, Philip Carter, is an indirect shareholder
of Winton via JWAJ Limited. This transaction is reflected in
the PFI.
2.
A Winton subsidiary, River Terrace Developments Limited,
is the vendor under a contract to sell land at River Terrace,
Cromwell to Carter Group Property Limited or nominee.
Carter Group Property Limited is associated with Philip
Carter, an indirect shareholder of Winton via JWAJ Limited.
This transaction is reflected in the PFI.
3.
A Winton subsidiary, Wynyard Developments Limited,
is the vendor under a contract to sell an apartment at
Beaumont Street, Wynyard to Chris Meehan or nominee.
Chris Meehan is a director of Winton. This transaction has
not been reflected in the pre-sale figures in the PDS as at 15
November 2021 given it was entered into after this date.
Unanimous Board approval and shareholder consent was
obtained for each of the above contracts, on the basis that
they are arms’ length transactions.
Approval and waiver from NZ RegCo
regarding Winton’s Constitution
Under the Overseas Investment Act, ‘overseas persons’
require consent for investments in sensitive New Zealand
assets. Once listed on the NZX Main Board, Winton will be
considered an ‘overseas person’ if:
-
in aggregate, overseas persons own 50% or more of the
Shares, or
- more than 25% of the Shares are held, in aggregate, by
overseas persons that individually own (together with their
associates) 10% or more of the Shares
If an ‘overseas person’ acquires Shares (or other equity
securities) and Winton consequently exceeds either of these
limits (which could occur via on-market transfers without
Winton’s knowledge):
-
that acquisition would constitute an overseas investment in
sensitive assets under the Overseas Investment Act and will
require consent under the Act; and
-
Winton will itself become an ‘overseas person’ and will
require consent for any subsequent acquisitions of sensitive
assets, including sensitive land under the Overseas
Investment Act.
As a residential land developer whose business involves the
acquisition and development of land, becoming an ‘overseas
person’ would impose significant additional cost and
uncertainty on Winton’s business.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT59
Accordingly, in November 2021, NZ RegCo granted Winton:
- approval under NZX Listing Rule 8.1.6 to include provisions
in its Constitution which allow the Board to restrict the
transfer of Winton’s securities to ‘overseas persons’ and
to require certain documentation and/or information in
relation to a proposed transfer or transferee of Winton’s
securities, and
-
a w
aiver from NZX Listing Rule 8.1.5, to the extent that
rule would otherwise prevent Winton from suspending the
voting rights attaching to securities in accordance with the
process set out in the Constitution.
The conditions to these approvals and waiver are that:
-
Winton will be given a non-standard (NS) designation, in
terms of its listing on the NZX Main Board;
-
W
inton must include an outline and explanation of the
relevant provisions in the Constitution in this product
disclosure statement and ensure the Constitution is
disclosed on the Offer Register at https://disclose-register.
companiesoffice.govt.nz/;
-
that an outline and explanation of the relevant provisions in
the Constitution must be set out on Winton’s website and
referred to in each annual report published by Winton; and
-
Winton must obtain approval from NZ RegCo in relation to
the method of sale prior to exercising its power to require
any compulsory sale of Shares on behalf of a shareholder.
Powers of Board under Constitution
To manage the risks of Winton becoming an ‘overseas
person’, the Constitution includes the following specific
provisions:
-
Under clause 3 of the F
ourth Schedule, the Board may
require on request a current, or proposed new, shareholder
to provide information concerning whether they are an
‘overseas person’ under the Overseas Investment Act.
-
Under clause 15.4 and clause 5 to the Fourth Schedule, the
Board may refuse to register a share transfer if:
• the Board considers that it will, or is likely to, cause
the extent of overseas ownership in Winton to exceed a
specified percentage (currently set at 90%, however, the
percentage can be increased by the Board) of the statutory
level at which the number of securities in Winton held by
‘overseas persons’ under the Overseas Investment Act
makes Winton itself an ‘overseas person’, or
• the transferee has not provided satisfactory documentary
evidence on request, with respect to determining whether
the registration of that transfer would cause the extent
of overseas ownership in Winton to breach the relevant
thresholds.
-
Clause 9
.1(a) of the Fourth Schedule allows the Board
to suspend the voting rights attaching to any of Winton’s
sec
urities which the Board determines, after following
the process in the Constitution, have caused the
extent of overseas ownership in Winton to exceed the
r
elevant threshold under the Overseas Investment Act
(Affected Shares).
-
Clause 9.1(b) of the Fourth Schedule allows the Board to
require the sale of Affected Shares, through a method
previously approved by NZ RegCo, if the registered
holder does not sell those securities to a person who is
not an ‘overseas person, within 20 working days, with the
proceeds of the sale (less any costs of sale) being paid to
the registered holder (to the Constitution).
Other governance disclosures
The Board will adopt various board policies and charters
typical for a company listed on the NZX Main Board and listed
as an ASX foreign exempt listing. Following listing, the Board
will have the power to appoint additional directors to the
Board from time to time, in accordance with the NZX Listing
Rules. Any director appointed by the Board must retire
and seek re-appointment at the next Annual Shareholders’
Meeting of Winton in accordance with the NZX Listing Rules.
The Board has agreed that for so long as TC Akarua Sub
Trust retains at least 75% of its stake in Winton following
completion of the Offer, Winton’s Board will use its best
endeavours to procure ongoing Board representation of
TC Akarua Sub Trust. Winton’s constitution also provides a
similar right for TC Akarua Sub Trust to appoint or remove
one director by notice in writing to Winton, although it is
expected that this right will not be exercised and instead the
Board will appoint such director.

WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT64
Institutional Offer
Winton will invite selected Institutional Investors to bid for Shares prior to close of the Offer.
All successful participants in the Institutional Offer will pay the Issue Price for each Share allocated to them.
The number of Shares to be offered under the Institutional Offer, and the allocation of Shares among Institutional Investors that
have bid for Shares will be, or has been, determined by Winton. There is no assurance that any participant in the Institutional Offer
will be allocated any Shares or the number of Shares for which it has bid. The allocation policy will be influenced by a number of
factors which may include the timeliness of the bid by particular bidders.
Allocations have been made to certain Institutional Investors in advance of the lodgement of this PDS, who have committed to
acquire a certain number of Shares at the Issue Price. The Issue Price was determined reflecting arm’s length negotiations and
feedback between and from certain Institutional Investors prior to the lodgement of this PDS.
Listing
Winton expects that trading of the Shares on the NZX Main Board and ASX will commence on 17 December 2021. If admission to
list on the NZX Main Board is denied, the Offer will not proceed. Failure to achieve admission to list on the ASX will not, of itself,
prevent the issue or sale of Shares under the Offer from proceeding.
NZX Main Board Listing
An application has been made to NZX for permission to list Winton and to quote the Shares on the NZX Main Board and all the
requirements of NZX relating to the application that can be complied with on or before the date of this PDS have been duly
complied with. However, NZX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this PDS. The NZX Main Board is a licensed market
operated by NZX, which is a licensed market operator, regulated under the FMCA.
ASX listing
An application will be made to ASX after the PDS has been lodged on the Offer Register for Winton to be admitted to the official
list of ASX as an ASX Foreign Exempt Listing and for quotation of the Shares on the ASX.
If Winton is admitted to the official list of ASX as a Foreign Exempt Listing, it will need to comply with the NZX Listing Rules (other
than as waived by NZX) but will not need to comply with the vast majority of the ASX Listing Rule obligations. Rather, Winton will
need to comply only with the rules specified in ASX Listing Rule 1.15, which are relatively procedural in nature. Winton will not be
subject to substantive ASX Listing Rule requirements such as the rules on continuous disclosure, periodic reporting, shareholder
approval of share issuances, escrow, transactions with persons of influence and significant transactions.
ASX takes no responsibility for the contents of this PDS or for the merits of the investment to which this PDS relates. The fact that
ASX may admit Winton to the official list of ASX and quote the Shares on the ASX is not to be taken as an indication of the merits,
or as an endorsement by ASX, of Winton or the Shares. The ASX is not a licenced market under the FMCA.

7.1 Introduction
These tables provide key financial information about Winton. Full financial statements are available on the Offer Register at https://
disclose-register.companiesoffice.govt.nz/. If you do not understand this financial information, you can seek advice from a financial
advice provider or an accountant.
The Supplementary Financial Information and other financial information is also available on the Offer Register.
This PDS contains prospective financial information (PFI) for FY22F and FY23F (together, the Prospective Period). The PFI is based
on the Board’s assessment of events and conditions existing at the date of this PDS and the accounting policies and assumptions
set out in the Supplementary Financial Information which are available on the Offer Register. The principal assumptions on which
the PFI is based are set out in Section
7. 5 (Overview of prospective financial performance).
PFI by its nature is inherently uncertain. It is a prediction of future events which cannot be assured. It involves risks and
uncertainties, many of which are beyond the control of Winton. The Board believes that the PFI has been prepared with due care
and attention, and considers the assumptions, when taken as a whole, to be reasonable at the time of preparing this PDS. Actual
results are likely to vary from the information presented and variances may be material. Accordingly, neither the Board nor any
other person can provide any assurance that the PFI will be achieved and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on
the PFI. You should read the PFI in this PDS in light of the assumptions, and in conjunction with the other information in this PDS
(including in particular the information in Section 8 (Risks to Winton’s business and plans)).
The financial information in this PDS is presented in New Zealand dollars and is rounded the nearest one hundred thousand dollars
(unless otherwise stated), which may result in some discrepancies between the sum of the components and totals within tables,
and also certain percentage calculations.
7.2 Selected financial information
The table of Selected Financial Information contains the following types of financial information:
- Statutory historical financial information as extracted from Winton’s audited financial statements.
-
S
tatutory prospective financial information which presents the PFI on the same basis as that on which Winton intends to report
under NZ GAAP in the future.
-
Pro forma historical financial information which has been derived from the statutory historical financial information, adjusted
for listed company costs. Winton believes this adjustment allows investors to compare the historical financial information
with the PFI.
-
Pr
o forma prospective financial information adjusts the statutory PFI to reflect pro forma adjustments in the first year of the
Prospective Period (FY22F) including the removal of non-recurring transaction costs relating to the Offer and the inclusion
of listed company costs for the period prior to completion of the Offer.
SECTION 7:
Winton’s financial
information.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT67
Section 7.10 (Reconciliation of Pro forma EBITDA to Statutory NPAT) and Part C of the Supplementary Financial Information
provide details on the pro forma adjustments to the historical and prospective financial information.

PDS. More information about the pro forma adjustments, the principal assumptions on which the PFI is based, and reconciliations
of pro forma financial information to information prepared in accordance with NZ GAAP, is available in the Supplementary
Financial Information.
Winton intends to raise up to $350 million under the Offer and the Offer is subject to raising a minimum of $250 million.
The prospective financial information is based on the mid-point amount of the Offer being raised ($300 million) which is the
Dir
ectors’ best estimate at the time of lodgement of the PDS.

to-date operating results (for the months of July 2021 to September 2021) are known at the date of the PDS and are materially
consistent with the forecasts for those months. Where labelled pro forma, the FY22F period also includes the pro forma
adjustments outlined under the heading Pro forma adjustments in Section 7.10 (Reconciliation of Pro forma EBITDA to
Statutory NPAT).
T
he historical financial information is extracted from Winton’s audited financial statements which are available on the Offer
Register. This document presents historical financial information for Winton for the financial periods ended 30 June 2019 (FY19),
30 June 2020 (FY20) and 30 June 2021 (FY21) (together, the Historical Period). The prospective financial information for the
financial periods ending 30 June 2022 (FY22F) and 30 June 2023 (FY23F) is presented and described in the Supplementary

identified as being pro forma financial information) is extracted from audited financial statements of Winton for the FY19,
FY20 and FY21 periods. The financial statements and auditor’s reports for these periods are available on the Offer Register.
The prospective financial information for FY22F and FY23F is extracted from the Supplementary Financial Information for
W
inton (and not the financial statements of Winton, from which the selected financial information for FY19, FY20 and FY21
has been extracted). Some line items in the selected financial information include adjustments applied by Winton (denoted

made in relation to Winton’s capital structure as Winton’s
borrowings will remain in place immediately following
completion of the Offer. Winton anticipates that it will
use part of the proceeds raised under the Offer to repay
outstanding borrowings on or before 30 June 2022. A
reconciliation to statutory net profit after tax is included in
Part B of the Supplementary Financial Information.

expected to be declared and paid twice yearly following
the release of interim and annual results. The FY23F
dividend reflects the forecast expected payment of the
FY22F final dividend of $3.0 million, the first dividend that
will be paid following the Offer, and the FY23F interim
dividend of $9.4 million. Refer to Section 6 (Key features
of ordinary shares) for further details of the Company’s
dividend policy.

7.3 How Winton generates revenue
As a residential property developer, revenue is primarily
generated from residential land and property sales. Winton
has one reporting segment but generates revenue from the
sale of various types of property such as residential lots,
dwellings, townhouses and apartment units.
Winton’s revenue is driven by the volume and value of land
and property settled. Volume settled is a function of the
scale and delivery staging of each of Winton’s development
projects and the market demand for these developments.
The value of residential land and property settled is driven
by the sale price for each product within the development
and will v
ary depending on size, type and location of
properties settled, as well as movements in the property
market generally.
Land and property sales are recognised when the customer
obtains control of the property and is able to direct and
obtain the benefits from the property. The customer gains
control of the property when Winton receives full and
final consideration for the property and transfers over the
certificate of title.
The delivery staging of each of Winton’s development
projects is a function of several site specific factors, including
resource consents, the masterplan for each project, civil
and other infrastructure construction timeframes and sales
strategy. The combination of these factors means that
the volume of land and property settled each year varies
across each of Winton’s projects. In addition, for individual
projects, volume delivered is often not uniform across the
project lifecycle (generally lower volumes are sold when the
project is in ramp-up with higher volumes achieved when the
project is well established). This is not unusual for property
development companies, but it can cause some fluctuation
in earnings and cashflows between years, depending on the
status of each of the projects in the developer’s portfolio.
Winton currently has 29 projects at various stages of
development across its portfolio. As Winton’s property
portfolio expands and matures, the impact of each project
on overall company earnings and cashflows is expected
to moderate.
W
inton’s sales strategy across all of its projects is to seek
pre-sales off the plan (i.e. before development of the stage
commences). Initial pre-sales are often at a price that is at
a moderate discount to the prevailing market, providing
purchasers with a more affordable purchase. This pre-sales
strategy ensures that the project is accepted by the market,
provides Winton with substantial certainty on contracted
revenue for the stage, and decreases the risk associated with
the project and the stage.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT69
As development of the project occurs customers (and
potential customers) are able to see the masterplanned
community taking shape. As such, Winton typically sells
smaller and lower margin lots in earlier stages of projects.
Lots sold during the later stages of Winton’s projects
are typically sold, subject to market conditions, at higher
prices and completed with higher margins reflecting shared
infrastructure constructed at earlier stages, with later stage
lots also typically being larger in size.
Key drivers of Winton’s financial performance can be found in
Section 1 (Key information summary).
7.4 Overview of historical financial
performance
This section provides an overview of the pro forma historical
financial performance of Winton and should be read in
conjunction with the ‘Selected Financial Information’ table
in Section 7.2 (Selected Financial Information).
FY20 financial performance relative to FY19
From FY19 to FY20, Winton revenue decreased by 39.9%
($20.4 million) from $51.2 million to $30.8 million. This was
driven by:
-
a 55.6% decrease in volume of units settled in FY20.
This decrease was primarily driven by timing impacts
as
sociated with two of Winton’s major multi-stage
projects (Lakeside and Northlake). Whilst the Lakeside
project commenced settlements in FY20 (there were
no settlements in FY19) this increase in volume did not
offset the impact of the Northlake project which settled
multiple stages in FY19 versus only one stage settling in
FY20 (consistent with Northlake’s construction schedule).
In addition, the Beaches project did not settle any units
in FY20, with no stages reaching practical completion,
although this project is much smaller than Lakeside
and Northlake.
Offset b
y:
-
a 35.2% increase in the average value of units settled, which
reflects the net impact of two key drivers. Firstly, a shift in
product mix toward dwellings which attract higher sales
values per unit compared to residential lots, especially for
the Launch Bay project where a number of premium, larger
format dwellings were sold. Secondly, discounted Stage 1
lot and townhouses settlements at the Lakeside project,
in line with Winton’s sales strategy for the early stages
of a project.
Betw
een FY19 and FY20 pro forma EBITDA decreased by
$21.4 million from $12.2 million to $(9.1) million. This was
primarily driven by the decrease in revenue (39.9%) and
a reduction in gross profit margin (from 54.3% to 17.4%).
Gross profit margin decreased due to FY20 sales
pr
edominantly relating to the Lakeside project which were
lower margin, consistent with Winton’s pre-sales strategy,
as well as a reduction in the number of higher margin
r
esidential lot sales from the Northlake project. In addition,
FY20 selling and administrative expenses (predominantly
wages) were similar to FY19 due to continued advertising
across all projects and Winton maintaining its employee base.
FY21 financial performance relative to FY20
Between FY20 and FY21 Winton revenue grew significantly,
by 475.1% ($146.2 million) from $30.8 million to $177.0 million.
This is being driven by:
-
a 627.6% increase in volume of units settled in FY21, due
to the Northlake, Longreach and Lakeside projects settling
multiple stages.
Offset by:
- a 21.0% decrease in the average value of units settled
due to a significant increase in the number of residential
lot sales in FY21, which are lower value compared to
dw
elling sales.
Between FY20 and FY21 pro forma EBITDA grew by $78.4
million from $(9.1) million to $69.3 million. The growth in pro
forma EBITDA was predominantly driven by the increase in
revenue of 475.1% (as noted above) and gross profit margin
(from 17.4% to 32.4%). Gross profit margin increased due to
FY21 sales primarily comprising higher margin residential lot
sales for the Northlake project, now in mature delivery phase.
This was partially offset by sales at the Lakeside project
which was still in early development and also included some
lower margin dwellings sales, including show homes. FY21
EBITDA also benefited from a $27.5 million of development
management fees, relating to a projects managed but not
owned by Winton. Selling expenses were also higher due
to a larger number of projects being in the delivery phase.
Advertising and sales commissions costs were also higher
due to increase volume.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT70
7.5 Overview of prospective financial performance
This section provides an overview of the pro forma prospective financial performance of Winton and should be read in conjunction
with the ‘Selected Financial Information’ table in Section 7.2 (
Selected Financial Information). Winton intends to raise up to $350
million under the Offer and the Offer is subject to raising a minimum of $250 million. The prospective financial information is based
on the mid-point amount of the Offer being raised ($300 million) which is the Directors’ best estimate at the time of lodgement of
the PDS.
The table below lists the key drivers of Winton’s financial performance and briefly outlines the principal assumptions and forecasts
for each of the key drivers in the Prospective Period. A full description of the assumptions and sensitivities for the Prospective
Period is available in the Supplementary Financial Information on the Offer Register.
REVENUE
- Decrease in the number of units forecast to settle (22.7%) in FY22F, mainly due to lower volume
at the Lakeside project compared to FY21, and to a lesser extent the Northlake and Longreach
projects.
-
Incr
ease in the number of units forecast to settle (63.3%) in FY23F, largely driven by projects
reaching delivery phase (the Beaches and North Ridge projects) and continued delivery from other
major projects (the Lakeside and Northlake projects).
- Increase in value of units settled in FY22F and FY23F due to a higher value product mix sold across
the Northlake, Lakeside, Launch Bay and River Terrace projects.
- Strong levels of pre-sales for both FY22F (96.5% of FY22F revenue) and FY23F (70.1% of FY23F
revenue) as at 15 November 2021.
-
W
hile Winton will continue to evaluate opportunities to manage projects it does not own, the
timing and scale of these opportunities are difficult to forecast. Accordingly, no development
management fees have been assumed in FY22F and FY23F.
GROSS PROFIT
- Movements in the volume and value of units settled (as explained above).
-
K
ey projects reaching a more mature development phase, producing higher margins compared to
earlier stages which were discounted to generate project momentum.
-
The Northlake project attracting higher margins due to the sale of larger, premium lots.
-
P
artially offset by an increase in average unit cost due to an increase in average lot size as well as a
shift to higher value but lower Gross Margin dwellings, townhouses and apartments.
OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES
(includes selling expenses,
property expenses and
administrative expenses)
- Increased advertising spend in FY22F due to promotional activities relating to the Northbrook
brand and Sunfield development project.
- Property expenses are expected to remain at similar levels to FY21 in FY22F and FY23F.
-
Administrative expenses are forecast to increase by 24.8% in FY22F and remain at higher levels in
FY23F due to increased staff numbers to support Winton’s growth, employee incentive structures
and listed company costs.
FY22F financial performance relative to FY21
From FY21 to FY22F, revenue is forecast to decrease by 10.7% ($19.0 million) from $177.0 million to $158.0 million.
This is being driven by:
-
a 22.7% decrease in the volume of units settled, primarily at the Lakeside project (but also the Northlake and Longreach
projects) following high settlement volumes in FY21.
Offset by:
-
a 15.5% incr
ease in the average value of units settled due to increased mix of higher value dwellings, townhouses and
apartments forecast to settle across the Northlake, Lakeside and Launch Bay projects, as well as larger, higher value lots
at the River Terrace project.
Fr
om FY21 to FY22F, Pro forma EBITDA is forecast to decrease by 29.2% ($20.2 million) from $69.2 million to $49.0 million.
This is primarily driven by the forecast decrease in revenue of 10.7% (as noted above), partly offset by an increase in gross profit
mar
gin (from 32.4% to 44.6%). In addition, there is no development management fee income forecast for FY22F, selling expenses
are higher, associated with promotional activities and employee expenses are forecast to increase to support Winton’s growth.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT71
FY23F financial performance relative to FY22F
From FY22F to FY23F, revenue is forecast to increase by
118.2% ($186.7 million) from $158.0 million to $344.7 million.
This is being driven by:
-
a 63.3% increase in the volume of units settled, driven by
a larger number of projects in the delivery phase, including
the Beaches and North Ridge pr
ojects; and
-
a 33.6% incr
ease in the value of units settled, due to an
increased mix of higher value dwellings, townhouses and
apartments, and larger and more premium residential lots
within key projects.
From FY22F to FY23F, Pro forma EBITDA is forecast to
increase by 180.3% ($88.4 million) from $49.0 million
to $137.4 million. This is driven by the increase in revenue
(118.2%) and gr
oss profit margin (from 44.6% to 46.6%),
as well as a reduction in selling expenses.
7.6 Net profit after tax
Net profit after tax (NPAT) includes non-recurring transaction
costs relating to the Offer which have been adjusted for in
calculating Pro forma EBITDA.
The key drivers of the movement in NPAT over the FY19 to
FY23F period include:
-
Betw
een FY19 and FY20, NPAT decreased by $18.5 million
driven by the $21.4 million decrease in Pro forma EBITDA
(as noted above), partly offset by an income tax benefit;
- Between FY20 and FY21, NPAT increased by $57.4 million
driven by the $78.4 million increase in Pro forma EBITDA
(as noted above), partly offset by a corresponding increase
in income tax expense;
-
Betw
een FY21 and FY22F, NPAT is forecast to decrease by
$16.4 million due to the $20.2 million decrease in Pro forma
EBITDA (as noted above) and transaction costs relating
to the Offer of $6.6 million, which are partly offset by a
decrease in income tax expense.
- Between FY22F and FY23F NPAT is forecast to increase
by $69.2 million due to the forecast $88.4 million increase
in Pro forma EBITDA (as noted above), FY22F pro forma
adjustments not repeating, and a $1.1 million decrease in
net interest expense due to borrowings being repaid on or
before 30 June 2022. This is partly offset by an increase in
income tax expense from $12.5 million to $39.0 million.
7.7 Dividends
Winton intends to declare dividends during the Prospective
Period as outlined below.
Subject to achieving the PFI and other relevant factors,
the Board’s intention is to declare dividends during the
Prospective Period as follows:
- In respect of FY22F, a dividend of $3.0 million (payable in
September 2022)
- In respect of FY23F, dividends totalling $19.8 million which
are expected to comprise an interim dividend of $9.4
million (payable in March 2023) and a final dividend of
$10.4 million (payable in September 2023).
Dividends declared following completion of the Offer are
consistent with Winton’s dividend policy which targets a
dividend pay-out ratio of approximately 20-40% of
full-year NPAT.
Dividends will be fully imput
ed to the extent possible
and are expected to be fully imputed in FY22F and FY23F.

Explanation of implied market capitalisation and
implied enterprise value
Implied market capitalisation is the value of all of the issuer’s
equity securities, as implied by the price of the Shares being
offered. It is a measure of what Winton is proposing that
Winton’s equity is worth.
Implied enterprise value (EV) is a measure of the total value
of the business of Winton, as implied by the price of the
Shares being offered. Implied enterprise value is the amount
that a person would need to pay to acquire all of Winton’s
equity securities and to settle all of Winton’s borrowings and
contractual commitments in relation to land deposits and
purchases. It is a measure of what Winton is proposing the
business of Winton as a whole is worth.
Winton’s EV and implied market capitalisation have been
calculated on the assumption that 283.8 million Shares will
be on issue immediately following completion of the Offer,
reflecting the mid-point amount of the Offer being raised
($300 million). If the number of Shares on issue immediately
following completion of the Offer is more or less than 283.8
million Shares, due to more or less Shares being issued under
the Offer, Winton’s implied market capitalisation immediately
following the completion of the Offer will be higher or lower,
although its EV is expected to remain unchanged.

Description of pro forma adjustments
In determining the use of pro forma adjustments, the Board has considered only those items that they believe are required to
ensure consistency and comparability of the financial information over the Historical Periods and the Prospective Periods.
The pro forma adjustments that Winton considers are appropriate are explained below, and described in more detail in Part C of
the Supplementary Financial Information:
- removal of the one-off transaction costs relating to the Offer; and
-
adding an es
timate of the incremental costs that will be incurred by Winton as a publicly listed company.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT73
This section sets out a description of the circumstances that Winton is aware of that exist,
or are likely to arise, that significantly increase the risk to Winton’s financial position,
financial performance or stated plans. We have outlined our assessment of the likelihood,
nature and potential magnitude of the impact of the circumstances. These risks are based
on the knowledge and assessment of the Board as at the date of this PDS and it is possible
that other risks may emerge over time.
CONSENTING RISK
WHAT IS IT?
Winton’s development activities typically require us to achieve rezoning or resource consents to allow
development of our masterplanned communities. There is a risk that we do not achieve the rezoning
or consents required, or the rezoning or consents are granted on terms which are less favourable than
Winton originally anticipated.
WHY IS IT SIGNIFICANT?
Where Winton purchases land that is not already zoned residential, we are able to create significant
value through materially lower land acquisition costs (which form part of the development costs which
are classified as inventories in the financial statements). Winton then pursues the necessary rezoning
and resource consents to proceed with our planned developments. If Winton does not secure the
necessary rezoning or resource consents, or secures rezoning or consents that are less favourable, we
will be unable to proceed with developments as originally planned potentially negatively effecting the
financial returns from the relevant site.
WINTON’S ASSESSMENT OF
THE LIKELIHOOD, NATURE
AND POTENTIAL MAGNITUDE
OF ANY IMPACT
Winton has strong relationships across local, central governments and with tangāta whenua. While the
outcome of rezoning and consenting decisions remains outside our direct control, we have a proven
track record of achieving the necessary rezoning and consenting to develop large-scale masterplanned
communities. Winton therefore considers that the risk of being unable to secure preferred rezoning or
consents at all for our sites to be low.
Failure to obtain the necessary rezoning or consents required, or obtaining rezoning or consents on terms
which are less favourable than Winton originally anticipated, is likely to have a material adverse impact on
the financial returns resulting from an increase in development costs, possible reduction of the number,
type or size of lots available for sale, impacting the margin ultimately achieved.
If Winton was completely unable to achieve any consents or rezoning of a site, we may be forced to sell
that site at or below the price paid for it, and we will likely have incurred costs that cannot be recovered.
SECTION 8:
Risks to Winton’s
business and plans.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT74
LAND ACQUISITION RISK
WHAT IS IT?
Winton’s continued growth is dependent on our ability to acquire attractive sites for the development
of new masterplanned communities. The vendors of attractive sites may choose to either not sell, sell to
a competitor or other third party, or sell at higher prices than we expect.
WHY IS IT SIGNIFICANT?
Winton has a long-term development target of 1,000 lots and dwellings per annum and over 200
Retirement Village Units per annum. While we have a strong existing development pipeline, it will be
necessary for us to acquire new sites to achieve these targets. Our long term financial performance
depends on us being able to acquire attractive sites at financially sustainable prices.
WINTON’S ASSESSMENT OF
THE LIKELIHOOD, NATURE
AND POTENTIAL MAGNITUDE
OF ANY IMPACT
We are continually evaluating potential new sites and have a demonstrated record in origination
opportunities through various channels, including direct approaches to landowners, public sale
processes, our network of long-term relationships across New Zealand and inbound enquiry.
As such, we consider the risk of being unable to secure appropriate parcels of land suitable for
development as being low. We have a strong long term development pipeline and our medium term
financial performance is not dependent on us acquiring new development sites. However, Winton will
need to continue to purchase appropriate sites to support growth and achieve our development targets
in the longer term.
Winton is not the only large scale residential land developer operating in New Zealand and competition
could impact on our ability to acquire sites. Winton believes that its team and network of relationships
in key markets like Auckland and Queenstown will continue to give it an advantage over competitors.
In addition, Winton has put in place measures to ensure it does not become an ‘overseas person’
under the Overseas Investment Act. This will continue to provide us with a competitive advantage in
purchasing suitable sites, which are typically subject to restrictions under that Act.
HOUSING MARKET AND SALES RISK
WHAT IS IT?
Winton’s ability to achieve the forecast sales and/or forecast sales prices within each of our
developments is dependent on the housing market conditions in each of the areas in which our
developments are located.
WHY IS IT SIGNIFICANT?
If we are unable to achieve the necessary volumes and / or achieve the forecast sales prices, it may
have a material adverse impact on our financial performance, including in the Prospective Period.
WINTON’S ASSESSMENT OF
THE LIKELIHOOD, NATURE
AND POTENTIAL MAGNITUDE
OF ANY IMPACT
Winton considers the risk of there being a material downturn in the housing market in the short term
as low because of continued shortfalls between supply and demand, with market commentators
estimating New Zealand’s current housing shortage at 55,000 to 75,000 dwellings.
52
Supply shortages are expected to persist out to 2024, assuming an opening shortage of about 70,000
and a modest pick-up in demand from a gradual reopening of New Zealand’s border in 2022.
53
Potential
risks to sustained housing supply include materials and labour shortages in the construction sector, and
a limited pipeline of residential lots in the near-term.
54
Over the next thirty years, housing demand is expected to ease due to slower projected population
growth.
55
However, population growth provides a conservative estimate of future housing demand, as
there are other factors likely to add to core demand, including longer life expectancies, the trend to
smaller household occupation sizes, a growing demand for healthy, warm and environmentally friendly
homes,
56
and the potential for increased migration.
57
Government initiatives designed to manage
demand for housing have tended to exclude new builds. As a result, Winton expects there to be
continued demand for its products.
58
Winton carefully selects our masterplanned communities in areas that we believe will experience higher
population growth. Our significant level of pre-sales across most of the masterplanned communities
within our portfolio are indicative of the demand for our products and constrained supply. Winton
also believes that the quality of its masterplanned communities will support continued demand for its
products, even if overall demand falls. In the short to medium term, Winton believes that the current
$703m of pre-sales mitigates this risk. Winton acknowledges that by pre-selling lots there is no ability
to benefit from price escalation of the product that occurs during the construction phase of the project
in respect of those lots.
52 Subject to the interplay of various macroeconomic factors, including net migration, economic conditions and population growth, market commentators expect the housing
shortage could take several years to clear. CB Report – pg. 19.

WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT75
PROJECT DEVELOPMENT RISK
WHAT IS IT?
When developing sites, Winton needs to complete works within projected budget and timetable in
order to generate the returns we expect. Key factors contributing to project development risk include,
but are not limited to; labour shortages, increased labour costs, procurement and supply of building
product, weather and pandemic delays, and the need to secure certain approvals from third parties.
WHY IS IT SIGNIFICANT?
If costs exceed the amount budgeted, or the project faces delay, it may have a material adverse impact
on our financial performance.
WINTON’S ASSESSMENT OF
THE LIKELIHOOD, NATURE
AND POTENTIAL MAGNITUDE
OF ANY IMPACT
The residential land development industry, by its very nature, faces project development risk.
Residential developments are large and complex projects which require a significant degree of
project coordination and management to ensure they are delivered on time and within budget. And
although primarily a developer of land lots, Winton does have some exposure to risks associated
with construction and home building as a result of its approach to contracting for home building
for a limited number of land and home packages in its developments. Ultimately, if costs exceed the
amount budgeted, or the project faces delay, it may have a material adverse impact on our financial
performance.
Winton considers that the likelihood of project development risk materially impacting its financial
performance is low.
Winton budgets for a certain amount of development cost and adopts a conservative delivery
programme when assessing the viability of our development projects. Strategies for mitigating project
development risk include:
-
Undertaking detailed f
easibility and risk assessments for each project and consider the risk of any
material cost overrun or delay that would result in us incurring a loss on a project.
-
Strategic use of pre-ordering materials that are in high demand or low supply in order to prevent
procurement issues.
-
A
dapting to market preferences and site requirements, developing either lots, land and build,
retirement village or apartments as appropriate.
-
Maximising pre-sales towards the start of a development project to enhance certainty of contracted
revenue which gives us confidence that we can recover the land and major civil works costs and
de-risk the balance of the development. Utilising staged development reduces risk and capital
requirements and minimises the risk of budget and cost planning disruption.
- Addressing contracting and labour cost risk by using fixed price and fixed rate arrangements where
possible and engaging leading and trusted contractors with excellent track records for delivery.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT76
COVID-19 DISRUPTION RISK
WHAT IS IT?
Winton’s business is exposed to the impact of disruption from COVID-19 and the Government measures
taken to eliminate or suppress the pandemic.
WHY IS IT SIGNIFICANT?
A further escalation in COVID-19 alert levels, future lockdowns or a new wave of the pandemic may
adversely affect our business. As a consequence of the Alert Level 4 restrictions imposed in August and
September 2021, we have already experienced a delay in the delivery of certain development projects.
In addition, if there are prolonged lockdowns, border restrictions or reduced immigration, there may be
reduced demand for housing.
WINTON’S ASSESSMENT OF
THE LIKELIHOOD, NATURE
AND POTENTIAL MAGNITUDE
OF ANY IMPACT
We consider the likelihood of continued material impacts COVID-19 and Government responses to
be moderate.
Although mor
e detail from the Government is still required, the shift away from the alert level system
to the ‘traffic light’ system indicates an expected reduction in the use of hard lockdowns across the
country to control the spread of COVID-19. While we are experienced in running our business through
nationwide and regional lockdowns, hard lockdowns are the most likely feature of the pandemic to
materially impact our business.
Winton is able to continue its core business of residential land development up to Alert Level 3 and
can continue to sell property, develop concepts and explore, cost and undertake feasibility studies
for new projects.
Although W
inton has experienced delays in certain development projects, Winton’s approach of using
reputable and experienced contractors and detailed forward planning and staging of developments has
enabled us to mitigate the delays otherwise caused by lockdowns.
The Supplementary Financial Information and Section 7 of this PDS sets out Winton’s best assessment
of the financial impact of these restrictions based on currently available information and our assumption
that there will be no further lockdowns in the PFI period. However, there can be no assurance that the
current or any future lockdowns will not have a more adverse impact and such outcomes could be
materially different.
WINTON PRODUCT DISCLOSURE STATEMENT77
RETIREMENT VILLAGE DEVELOPMENT AND OPERATION RISK
WHAT IS IT?
Winton will need to develop and implement new operational strategies to operate a retirement
village and aged care offering under the Northbrook brand. This includes hiring appropriate staff
and establishing and maintaining quality and service standards consistent with market expectations.
Retirement villages will need to be developed and constructed to high standards to achieve the
appropriate premium brand positioning.
The retirement village and aged care market is competitive. Existing or new operators may compete
with us for our target customers and our ability to respond to that competition will affect financial
outcomes.
In order to successfully operate in the retirement village and aged care market, Winton will also need
to promote, manage and operate our villages in compliance with the regulatory requirements. Our
establishment of this business line could be impacted if we fail to obtain appropriate registration with
the Registrar of Retirement Villages, unable to appoint a statutory supervisor and/or failure to obtain a
Ministry of Health certification. Future regulatory change for the industry may have an adverse impact
on us.
WHY IS IT SIGNIFICANT?
Retirement villages and aged care are new business lines for Winton. There are uncertainties associated
with entering a new business area and failure to execute on our retirement villages and aged care
strategy in the way we expect will have an adverse financial impact for Winton.
WINTON’S ASSESSMENT OF
THE LIKELIHOOD, NATURE
AND POTENTIAL MAGNITUDE
OF ANY IMPACT
Winton considers that the risk of failing to establish and effectively operate our retirement village
and aged care offerings is low. Winton has retained Julian Cook, former CEO of one of New Zealand’s
largest retirement village operators Summerset Group, as the Executive Director of the Northbrook
programme. We also intend to retain expert external advisers to advise on registration, statutory
obligations and ongoing compliance. There are no indications that Winton will not be able to meet the
relevant regulatory requirements. There is a moderate risk that we are unable to secure the necessary
staff, incur unforeseen costs or otherwise encounter impediments to operation that have not been
identified by us at the date of this PDS.
Winton considers the development risks of retirement villages to be low. Winton expects to utilise its
residential land development expertise to provide the required facilities. Winton’s retirement village
delivery team will draw on expertise from Winton’s existing product offerings and strengths including
land development, consenting and masterplanning.
Winton considers that the risk of competition to its product offering is moderate. New Zealand has a
number of large established entities as well as a number of smaller providers. Winton considers that
its plan to target the premium retirement village market will differentiate it from competitors, however
there is a moderate risk that existing or new operators will compete effectively with Winton over the
medium to long term.
Future regulatory change for the industry may also have an adverse impact on us and the way we
intend to promote, manage and operate our villages.
The PFI does not include any revenue directly attributable to operating in the retirement village and
aged care sector, meaning that any such costs or reduced revenue are likely to fall in future financial
years.

Dear Directors
Limited Assurance Investigating Accountant’s Report – Maximum Capital Raise
Introduction
KPMG Financial Advisory Services (Australia) Pty Ltd (of which KPMG Transaction
Services is a division) (“KPMG Transaction Services”) has been engaged by Winton
Land Limited (“Winton”) to prepare this report as part of a submission for application
for an ASX foreign exempt listing. Winton are expected to raise capital within an
agreed minimum and maximum range and this report considers the maximum capital
raise as set out in the document called “Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of
Financial Position – Maximum Capital Raise”.
Scope
You have requested KPMG Transaction Services to perform a limited assurance
engagement in relation to the pro forma historical financial information described
below.
The pro forma historical financial information is presented in an abbreviated form,
insofar as it does not include all of the presentation and disclosures required by
Australian Accounting Standards and other mandatory professional reporting
requirements applicable to general purpose financial reports prepared in accordance
with the Corporations Act 2001.
KPMG Financial Advisory Services (Australia) Pty
Ltd is an affiliate of KPMG. KPMG is an Australian
partnership and a member firm of the KPMG
network of independent member firms affiliated
with KPMG International Cooperative (“KPMG
International”), a Swiss entity.
Winton Land Limited
Limited Assurance Investigating Accountant’s Report
2 December 2021

Pro Forma Historical Financial Information
You have requested KPMG Transaction Services to perform limited assurance
procedures in relation to the pro forma historical financial information of Winton (the
responsible party).
The pro forma historical financial information has been derived from the historical
financial information of Winton, after adjusting for the effects of pro forma adjustments
principally associated with the expected equity raising described and presented in
document called “Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position – Maximum
Capital Raise”. The pro forma financial information consists of Winton’s Pro Forma
Consolidated Statement of Financial Position – Maximum Capital Raise as at 30 June
2021 (“Pro Forma Historical Financial Information”).
The stated basis of preparation is the recognition and measurement principles
contained in the International Financial Statements as adopted in New Zealand, which
are consistent with Australian Accounting Standards applied to the historical financial
information and the event(s) or transaction(s) to which the pro forma adjustments
relate. Due to its nature, the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information does not
represent the company’s actual or prospective financial position.
The Pro Forma Historical Financial Information has been compiled by Winton to
illustrate the impact of the event(s) or transaction(s) described in the document called
“Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position – Maximum Capital Raise” on
Winton’s financial position as at 30 June 2021, reflecting the maximum capital raising of
Winton. As part of this process, information about Winton’s financial position has been
extracted by Winton from Winton’s financial statements for the period ended 30 June
2021.
The financial statements of Winton for the year ended 30 June 2021 were audited by
KPMG New Zealand in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New
Zealand). The audit opinions issued to the members of Winton relating to those
financial statements were unqualified.
For the purposes of preparing this report we have performed limited assurance
procedures in relation to Pro Forma Historical Financial Information in order to state
whether, on the basis of the procedures described, anything comes to our attention that
would cause us to believe that the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information is not
prepared or presented fairly, in all material respects, by the directors in accordance
with the stated basis of preparation.
We have conducted our engagement in accordance with the Standard on Assurance
Engagements ASAE 3450 Assurance Engagements involving Corporate Fundraisings
and/or Prospective Financial Information.
The procedures performed in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature from, and
are less in extent than for, an audit. As a result, the level of assurance obtained in a
limited assurance engagement is substantially lower than the assurance that would
Winton Land Limited
Limited Assurance Investigating Accountant’s Report
2 December 2021
3
have been obtained had we performed an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an
audit opinion about whether the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information is prepared,
in all material respects, by the directors in accordance with the stated basis of
preparation.
Directors’ responsibilities
The directors of Winton are responsible for the preparation of the Pro Forma Historical
Financial Information, including the selection and determination of the pro forma
transactions and/or adjustments made to the historical financial information and
included in the Pro Forma Historical Information.
The directors’ responsibility includes establishing and maintaining such internal
controls as the directors determine are necessary to enable the preparation of financial
information that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Conclusions
Review statement on the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information
Based on our procedures, which are not an audit, nothing has come to our attention
that causes us to believe that the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, as set out
in the document called “Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Financial Position –
Maximum Capital Raise” comprising the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement
of financial position of Winton as at 30 June 2021, is not prepared or presented fairly,
in all material respects, on the basis of the pro forma transactions and/or adjustments
described and in accordance with the recognition and measurement principles
prescribed in Australian Accounting Standards, and Winton’s accounting policies.
Independence
KPMG Transaction Services does not have any interest in the outcome of any
proposed capital raising, other than in connection with the preparation of this report and
participation in due diligence procedures for which normal professional fees will be
received. KPMG New Zealand is the auditor of Winton and from time to time, KPMG
New Zealand also provides Winton with certain other professional services for which
normal professional fees are received.
Restriction on use and distribution
The purpose of preparing the Pro Forma Historical Financial Information, was to reflect
the proposed maximum capital raising pro forma impact and is only for inclusion in
Winton’s submission for ASX foreign exempt listing. As a result, the Pro Forma
Historical Financial Information may not be suitable for use for another purpose. We
disclaim any assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this report, or on the Pro
Forma Historical Financial Information to which it relates, for any purpose other than
Winton Land Limited

that for which it was prepared. This report may not be disclosed in any other way,
including any publication on any electronic media, to any other party, except as
required by law or the rules of any relevant stock exchange or a government body or in
connection with an actual or potential claim, investigation or inquiry against.
Yours faithfully

It is with great pleasure that I present the 2019 Financial
Statements for Winton Property Limited (Winton). 2019 has been
another busy year for Winton with many highlights to celebrate.
During the year, Winton has continued to advance its
developments throughout New Zealand and Australia. Winton’s
pre sales book now stands at over 800 sales, which will deliver
gross revenue well in excess of $400m over the coming years.
This is a tremendous position to be in as Winton celebrated its
10-year anniversary in August 2019.
One highlight of the year was receiving the consent for the
Waterfall Park Hotel in Arrowtown. Upon completion, this
380 room 5-star hotel with facilities comprising a selection
of restaurants, a 600-person conference facility, chapel and
wellness retreat will be one of New Zealand’s largest hotels.
Winton has another exciting year ahead and, on behalf of the
Board, and my fellow shareholders, I would like to thank the team
for all of their hard work.

WINTON PROPERTY LIMITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2019
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This section sets out the basis upon which the Group’s Financial Statements are prepared. Specific accounting policies
are described in the note to which they relate.
1.1. Reporting entity
These financial statements are for Winton Property Limited (the Company) (formerly Winton Partners Land Limited) and
its subsidiaries (the Group). The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in New Zealand and is registered
under the New Zealand Companies Act 1993. The Group’s principal activity is the development and sale of residential
land properties.
1.2. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
(NZ GAAP). They comply with the New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards - Reduced
Disclosure Regime (‘NZ IFRS RDR’) as a Tier 2 for-profit entity in accordance with XRB A1 Accounting Standards
Framework (For-Profit Entities Update), and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate to profit-
oriented entities. The Company qualifies to report under Tier 2 as it has no public accountability. The Company is a
reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and its financial statements comply with the Act.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except where otherwise identified. All financial
information is presented in New Zealand dollars and has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
1.3. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
1.4. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and the entities it controls. All intercompany transactions
are eliminated on consolidation.
1.5. New standards, amendments and interpretations
At the date of authorisation of these financial statements, the following relevant standard was in issue and effective
however, it has not been applied in preparing these financial statements since it is effective for accounting periods
beginning on or after 1 January 2019.
NZ IFRS 16 ‘Leases’: This standard will replace the current guidance in NZ IAS 17. Under NZ IFRS 16, a contract is,
or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in
exchange for consideration. Under NZ IAS 17, a lessee was required to make a distinction between a finance lease
(on balance sheet) and an operating lease (off balance sheet). NZ IFRS 16 now requires a lessee to recognise a lease
liability reflecting future lease payments and a ‘right-of-use asset’ for virtually all lease contracts. Included is an optional
exemption for certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets; however, this exemption can only be applied by
lessees.
For lessors, the accounting for leases under NZ IFRS 16 is almost the same. However, as the guidance on the definition
of a lease has been updated (as well the guidance on the combination and separation of contracts), lessors will also be
affected by the new standard.
The Group will adopt NZ IFRS 16 on 1 July 2020, the commencement of the first accounting period following its effective
date of 1 January 2019.
The Group has completed an initial assessed regarding the impact of adopting NZ IFRS 16. As a lessor, there are no
changes to the Group’s current accounting treatment and disclosure of leases. As a lessee, the Group will apply NZ IFRS
16 using the simplified retrospective approach. Under this approach, the Group will recognise a right of use asset and
lease liability relating to one leased property which is not expected to have a material impact on the Group’s financial
statements.

1. GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)
1.6. Critical judgements, estimates and assumptions
In applying the Group’s accounting policies, the Board and Management continually evaluates judgements, estimates
and assumptions that may have an impact on the Group. The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made
in the preparation of these financial statements are as follows:
4.2. Taxation (Page 11)
1.7. Accounting policies
No changes to accounting policies have been made during the year, other than following the adoption of new
standards outlined in section 1.8, which follows below, and policies have been consistently applied to all years
presented. Significant accounting policies have been included throughout the notes to the financial statements.
Other relevant policies are provided as follows:
Revenue
Revenue represents amounts derived from land and property sales. Land and property sales are recognised
when the customer obtains control of the property and is able to direct and obtain the benefits from the property.
Goods and services tax
These financial statements have been prepared on a goods and services tax (GST) exclusive basis except for the
accounts receivable balance, accounts payable balance and other items where GST incurred is not recoverable.
These balances are stated inclusive of GST.
1.8. Adoption of new standards
The Group has adopted both NZ IFRS 9 ‘Financial Instruments’ and NZ IFRS 15 ‘Revenue from contracts with
customers’, which are mandatory for the financial periods beginning on 1 January 2018.
Impact of adoption of NZ IFRS 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Effective 1 July 2018, the Group applied NZ IFRS 15 for its accounting of revenue from customers. The new
standard replaces NZ IAS 18 Revenue and introduces a principles based five-step model to recognise revenue
when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a good or service to the customer.
It has been determined that the impact of the new standard is not significant. All revenue of the Group is derived
from the satisfaction of a single performance obligation, which is the sale of development property at a point in
time. There has been no change in the timing of revenue recognition for this performance obligation.
The Group elected to apply the cumulative effect method under NZ IFRS 15, which did not result in an impact on
the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019.
Impact of adoption of NZ IFRS 9 Financial Instruments
Effective 1 July 2018, the Group applied NZ IFRS 9 for its accounting of financial instruments, which included the
adoption of the “expected loss model”, replacing the “incurred loss” impairment model for financial assets that
are not measured at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). In accordance with the new standard, the Group’s
financial assets which consist primarily of trade and other receivables, are assessed for impairment on a forward
looking basis taking into consideration not only past events and current conditions, but also forecast future
economic conditions.
It has determined that the impact of NZ IFRS 9 on Group’s impairment assessment of trade and other receivables
is not significant. Other provisions of NZ IFRS 9 were not considered applicable to the Group’s financial
statements in 2019. The Group elected to apply the cumulative effect method under NZ IFRS 9 which did not
result in an impact on the financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2019.

2. DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY
This section shows the real estate assets used to generate the Group’s trading performance which are
considered to be the most relevant to the operations of the Group.

Total development property 127,171 82,280
Recognition and Measurement
Development property is carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of
acquisition, development, and holding costs such as interest. All holding costs are expensed through profit or
loss in the year incurred with the exception of interest holding costs which are capitalised during the period
when active development is taking place. During the year ended 30 June 2019, $1,494,000 of interest has
been capitalised to development properties (2018: $405,000). Interest and other holding costs incurred after
completion of development are expensed as incurred. Development property includes deposits paid on
unconditional contracts for development land.
The carrying amounts of the development property are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether
there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its net selling price and value in use. In assessing value
in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. For an asset
that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset of its cash-generating
unit exceeds its recoverable amount the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
As at 30 June 2019, the fair values of the development properties have been assessed by a combination
of internal and external valuations and the total value is in excess of the carrying value, therefore there is no
indication of impairment.
The fair value of development property as determined by the independent valuer is categorised as Level 3 based
on the inputs to the valuation methodology. The basis of the valuation is the hypothetical subdivision approach
and/or block land sales comparisons to derive the residual block land values. The major unobservable inputs that
are used in the valuation model that require judgement include the individual section prices, allowances for profit
and risk, projected completion and sell down periods and interest rates during the holding period. The estimated
fair value would increase or (decrease) if: the individual section prices were higher/(lower); the allowances for
profit were higher/(lower); the allowances for risk were lower/(higher); the projected completion and sell down
periods were shorter/(longer); and the interest rate during the holding period was lower/(higher).

Recognition and Measurement
Tax is accounted for on a consolidated Group basis and the Group is required to pay tax to the Inland Revenue
as required by the Income Tax Act 2007. Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax and is
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
“Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
different entities, but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.”
Additional income tax arising from distribution of dividends is recognised at the same time as the liability to pay
the dividend is recognised.
Key estimates and assumptions: Deferred Tax
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date
and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

4.8. Financial risk management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.
The Group’s overall risk management strategy focuses on minimising the potential negative economic
impact of unpredictable events on the Group’s financial well being.
(a) Interest rate risk
The Group has no exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates as none of the Group’s borrowings at
30 June 2019 have floating interest rates.
The following sensitivity analysis shows the effect on profit before tax and equity if interest rates at balance
date had been 50 basis points (0.50%) higher or lower with all other variables held constant.

(b) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge its
obligations and the Group will suffer financial loss as a result. Financial instruments which potentially subject
the Group to credit risk consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other assets.
With respect to the credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, there is limited credit risk as cash is
deposited with Bank of New Zealand Limited, a registered bank in New Zealand with a credit rating of AA–
(Standard & Poor’s).
With respect to the credit risk arising from accounts receivable, the Group only enters into arrangements
over its development properties with parties whom the Group assesses to be creditworthy. Credit risk does
not arise on property sale proceeds to be settled as title will not transfer until settlement.
The carrying amount of financial assets as per note 4.7 approximates the Groups maximum exposure to
credit risk.

(d) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going
concern whilst maximising the return to shareholders through maintaining an optimal balance of debt and
equity. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group’s capital structure includes borrowings and shareholders equity. The Group monitors capital on
the basis of the loan to value ratio and borrowing covenant compliance. The loan to value ratio is calculated as
borrowings divided by the value of development properties. The Group’s strategy is to maintain a loan to value
ratio of no more than 50%.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of Winton Property Limited
Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements of Winton Property Limited
(the ’company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'group') on
pages 4 to 18:
i.present fairly in all material respects the Group’s
financial position as at 30 June 2019 and its
financial performance and cash flows for the
year ended on that date; and
ii.comply with New Zealand Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards
Reduced Disclosure Regime.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
financial statements which comprise:
—the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 30 June 2019;
—the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for
the year then ended; and
—notes, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 (Revised) Code of
Ethics for Assurance Practitioners issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the
International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (‘IESBA
Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements and the
IESBA Code.
Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the
consolidated financial statements section of our report.
Our firm has also provided other services to the group in relation to tax compliance and advisory services.
Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the group on normal terms
within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the group. These matters have not impaired our
independence as auditor of the group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the group.
Other information
The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for the other information included in the entity’s Annual
Report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover any other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears materially
misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Use of this independent auditor’s report
This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our audit work has been
undertaken so that we might state to the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the
independent auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept
or assume responsibility to anyone other than the shareholders as a body for our audit work, this independent
auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial
statements
The Directors, on behalf of the company, are responsible for:
—the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards Reduced Disclosure Regime);
—implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a consolidated set of financial
statements that is fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
—assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial
statements
Our objective is:
—to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
—to issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAs NZ will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.

It is with great pleasure that I present the 2020 Financial
Statements for the Winton Property Limited Group (Winton).
2020 has been a year focussed on delivering and growing our
pre sales book. In May 2020, Winton extended its contract with
the Crown to deliver an additional 1,200 land lots at our Lakeside
development, increasing our pre sales book to over 1,500 sales
and equating to gross revenue in excess of $480m over the
coming years.
The current economic uncertainly and the Covid-19 crisis will
bring challenges in the next period, however the strength of our
pre sales book, which is 80% to the Crown, places Winton in a
strong and stable position.
Winton sadly lost a treasured colleague Oliver Leighs on 7 July
2020. Oliver was a key part of Winton for over seven years. He
was a colleague, a leader and a friend and is dearly missed by all.
On behalf of the Board, and my fellow shareholders, I would like to
thank the Winton team for all of their hard work and look forward
to the coming year.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
1. GENERAL INFORMATION
This section sets out the basis upon which the Group’s Financial Statements are prepared. Specific accounting policies
are described in the note to which they relate.
1.1. Reporting entity
These financial statements are for Winton Property Limited (the Company) (formerly Winton Partners Land Limited) and
its subsidiaries (the Group). The Company is a limited liability company incorporated in New Zealand and is registered
under the New Zealand Companies Act 1993. The Group’s principal activity is the development and sale of residential
land properties.
1.2. Basis of preparation
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with New Zealand Generally Accepted Accounting Practice
(NZ GAAP). They comply with the New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards - Reduced
Disclosure Regime (‘NZ IFRS RDR’) as a Tier 2 for-profit entity in accordance with XRB A1 Accounting Standards
Framework (For-Profit Entities Update), and other applicable Financial Reporting Standards as appropriate to profit-
oriented entities. The Company qualifies to report under Tier 2 as it has no public accountability. The Company is a
reporting entity for the purposes of the Financial Reporting Act 2013 and its financial statements comply with the Act.
The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except where otherwise identified. All financial
information is presented in New Zealand dollars and has been rounded to the nearest thousand.
1.3. Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
1.4. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and the entities it controls. All intercompany transactions
are eliminated on consolidation.
1.5. Critical judgements, estimates and assumptions
In applying the Group’s accounting policies, the Board and Management continually evaluates judgements, estimates
and assumptions that may have an impact on the Group. The significant judgements, estimates and assumptions made
in the preparation of these financial statements are as follows:
4.2. Taxation (Page 12)
1.6. Accounting policies
No changes to accounting policies have been made during the year, other than following the adoption of new standards
outlined in section 1.7, which follows below, and policies have been consistently applied to all years presented.
Significant accounting policies have been included throughout the notes to the financial statements. Other relevant
policies are provided as follows:
Revenue
Revenue represents amounts derived from land and property sales. Land and property sales are recognised when the
customer obtains control of the property and is able to direct and obtain the benefits from the property.
Goods and services tax
These financial statements have been prepared on a goods and services tax (GST) exclusive basis except for the
accounts receivable balance, accounts payable balance and other items where GST incurred is not recoverable. These
balances are stated inclusive of GST.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2020
1. GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)
1.7. Adoption of new standards
The Group has adopted NZ IFRS 16 ‘Leases’ (effective date of 1 January 2019) on 1 July 2019, as required, which has
replaced the previous guidance in NZ IAS 17. NZ IFRS 16 now requires a lessee to recognise a lease liability reflecting
future lease payments and a ‘right-of-use asset’ for virtually all lease contracts. Included is an optional exemption for
certain short-term leases and leases of low-value assets: however, this exemption can only be applied by lessees.
The Group has identified the lease of its head office as the only right-of-use asset and lease liability recognised due to
NZ IFRS 16, and the impact of adopting the standard is not material to the Group. The simplified retrospective transition
method allows the Group to calculate the lease liability and the right-of-use asset based on the remaining cash flows
discounted at transition date “incremental borrowing rate”, being the interest rate of the Clipper facility, 8%. It does not
require a restatement of the prior period presented and there is no impact requiring an adjustment to equity.

2. DEVELOPMENT PROPERTY
This section shows the real estate assets used to generate the Group’s trading performance which are
considered to be the most relevant to the operations of the Group.
ALL VALUES IN $000's20202019
Expected to settle within one year
75,174 22,694
Expected to settle greater than one year
101,115 104,477
Total development property 176,289 127,171
Recognition and Measurement
Development property is carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of
acquisition, development, and holding costs such as interest. All holding costs are expensed through profit or
loss in the year incurred with the exception of interest holding costs which are capitalised during the period
when active development is taking place. During the year ended 30 June 2020, $3,078,000 of interest has
been capitalised to development properties (2019: $1,494,000). Interest and other holding costs incurred
after completion of development are expensed as incurred. Development property includes deposits paid on
unconditional contracts for development land.
The carrying amounts of the development property are reviewed at each balance date to determine whether
there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the greater of its net selling price and value in use. In assessing value
in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that
reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and risks specific to the asset. For an asset
that does not generate largely independent cash inflows, the recoverable amount is determined for the cash-
generating unit to which the asset belongs. Whenever the carrying amount of an asset of its cash-generating
unit exceeds its recoverable amount the impairment loss is recognised in profit or loss.
As at 30 June 2020, the fair values of the development properties have been assessed by management who
have prepared internal valuations and the total value is in excess of the carrying value, therefore there is no
indication of impairment.
The fair value of development property as determined by management is categorised as Level 3 based on
the inputs to the valuation methodology. The basis of the valuation is the hypothetical subdivision approach
and/or block land sales comparisons to derive the residual block land values. The major unobservable inputs
that are used in the valuation model that require judgement include the individual section prices, allowances
for profit and risk, projected completion and sell down periods and interest rates during the holding period.
The estimated fair value would increase or (decrease) if: the individual section prices were higher/(lower); the
allowances for profit were higher/(lower); the allowances for risk were lower/(higher); the projected completion
and sell down periods were shorter/(longer); and the interest rate during the holding period was lower/(higher).

133,796 75,955
Unamortised borrowings establishment costs
(92) (112)
Net borrowings 133,704 75,843
Recognition and Measurement
All borrowings are initially measured at fair value, plus directly attributable transaction costs, and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method. Under this method,
directly attributable fees, costs, discounts and premiums are capitalised and spread over the expected life
of the facility. All other interest costs and bank fees are expensed in the period they are incurred.
(ii) Clipper facility
On 13 May 2019, the Group entered into a debt facility with Clipper for $130,000,000 plus capitalised
interest and capitalised fees. The facility expires 12 May 2023.
(iii) Carter Group facility
On 22 May 2018, the Group entered into a debt facility with Carter Group for $40,000,000. The facility was
repaid and cancelled on 13 May 2019.
(iv) Security
The Clipper facility is secured by way of a general security deed provided by the Group companies (except
Beaches Developments Limited, Bellbird Shelf Pty Limited, Lakes Edge Developments Limited, Frances
Street Developments Pty Limited, Northlake Hotels Limited, Northbrook Retirement Villages Limited,
Northbrook Te Kauwhata Limited, Northbrook Wanaka Limited, River Terrace Developments Limited, River

Recognition and Measurement
Tax is accounted for on a consolidated Group basis and the Group is required to pay tax to the Inland Revenue
as required by the Income Tax Act 2007. Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax and is
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
different entities, but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.
Additional income tax arising from distribution of dividends is recognised at the same time as the liability to pay
the dividend is recognised.
Key estimates and assumptions: Deferred Tax
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date
and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

4.8. Financial risk management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.
The Group’s overall risk management strategy focuses on minimising the potential negative economic
impact of unpredictable events
(a) Interest rate risk
The Group has no exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates as none of the Group’s borrowings
at 30 June 2020 and 30 June 2019 have floating interest rates.
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge its
obligations and the Group will suffer financial loss as a result. Financial instruments which potentially subject
the Group to credit risk consisting of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other assets.
With respect to the credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents, there is limited credit risk as cash is
deposited with Bank of New Zealand Limited, a registered bank in New Zealand with a credit rating of AA–
(Standard & Poor’s).
With respect to the credit risk arising from accounts receivable, the Group only enters into arrangements
over its development properties with parties whom the Group assesses to be creditworthy. Credit risk does
not arise on property sale proceeds to be settled as title will not transfer until settlement.
The carrying amount of financial assets as per note 4.7 approximates the Group’s maximum exposure to
credit risk.

(d) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going
concern whilst maximising the return to shareholders through maintaining an optimal balance of debt and
equity. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to
shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group’s capital structure includes borrowings and shareholders equity. The Group monitors capital on
the basis of the loan to value ratio and borrowing covenant compliance. The loan to value ratio is calculated as
borrowings divided by the value of development properties. The Group’s strategy is to maintain a loan to value
ratio of no more than 50%.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of Winton Property Limited
Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements of Winton Property Limited
(the ’company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'group') on
pages 4 to 18:
i. present fairly in all material respects the Group’s
financial position as at 30 June 2020 and its
financial performance and cash flows for the
year ended on that date; and
i. comply with New Zealand Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards
Reduced Disclosure Regime.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
financial statements which comprise:
— the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 30 June 2020;
— the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for
the year then ended; and
— notes, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ISAs (NZ)’). We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of
Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the
New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence
Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the IESBA Code.
Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the
consolidated financial statements section of our report.
Our firm has also provided other services to the group in relation to tax compliance and advisory services.
Subject to certain restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the group on normal terms
within the ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the group. These matters have not impaired our
independence as auditor of the group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the group.
Other information
The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for the other information included in the entity’s Annual
Report. Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover any other information and we do
not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears materially
misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.
Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial
statements
The Directors, on behalf of the company, are responsible for:

statements that is fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
— assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial
statements
Our objective is:
— to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
— to issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAs NZ will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these consolidated financial statements is located at
the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at:
http://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards-for-assurance-practitioners/auditors-responsibilities/audit-report-7/

It is with great pleasure that I present the 2021 Annual Report
for the Winton Property Limited Group (Winton).
2021 has been another busy year for Winton focussed on realising revenue
from development activity undertaken in previous years. Winton has
delivered 553 settlements of land and dwellings across New Zealand in the
past 12 months and successfully launched a number of new developments
and products across New Zealand and Australia.
Winton has also continued to increase its pre-sales book which at 30 June
2021 was 1,889 sales, equating to gross revenue in excess of $652m.
Winton’s development pipeline continues to grow with the recent
acquisitions of land at Ardmore (South Auckland), Avon Loop (Christchurch)
and Wynyard Quarter (Central Auckland). The planning and development of
these projects will be a key focus in the coming year.
During 2021, Winton also unveiled its retirement living brand Northbrook.
Initially five villages within the current portfolio, this will be a key growth
area for Winton in the coming years. We are excited about this next phase
and think we have great positioning in the market where we believe there is
strong demand and little competition.
Some incredible achievements from the Winton team. On behalf of the
Board, and my fellow shareholders, I would like to thank the Winton team for
all of their hard work and look forward to the coming year.

WINTON PROPERTY LIMITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 2021
1. GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued)
1.7. Impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the significant accounting judgements,
estimates and assumptions.
The COVID-19 outbreak was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020. The outbreak
and the response of Governments in dealing with the pandemic is interfering with general activity levels within the
community, the economy and the operations of the Group. The scale and duration of these developments remain
uncertain as at the date of this report. The Group has considered the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
in the significant accounting judgements, estimates and assumptions. However, as these are subject to increased
uncertainty the actual outcomes may differ from the estimates.
The Group has managed and continues to actively manage the risks arising from COVID-19. This includes a
financial response plan incorporating:
• the deferral of the commencement of new projects;
• minimising development expenditure to reflect management forecasts for COVID-19 sales rates
pre-Government stimulus; and
• a strong focus on managing the settlement risk of contracts on hand.
2. REVENUE
ALL VALUES IN $000's20212020
Revenue from contracts with customers 176,980 30,776
Total revenue 176,980 30,776
Revenue represents amounts derived from land and property sales. Land and property sales are recognised
when the customer obtains control of the property and is able to direct and obtain the benefits from the property.
The customer gains control of the property when the Group receives full and final consideration for the property
and the Group transfers over the certificate of title.

3. INVENTORIES
This section shows the inventories used to generate the Group’s trading performance which are considered to be
the most relevant to the operations of the Group.
ALL VALUES IN $000's20212020
Expected to settle within one year
46,954 75,174
Expected to settle greater than one year
116,937 101,115
Total inventories 163,891 176,289
Recognition and Measurement
Inventories are carried at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost includes the cost of acquisition,
development, and holding costs such as interest. All holding costs are expensed through profit or loss in the
year incurred with the exception of interest holding costs which are capitalised during the period when active
development is taking place. During the year ended 30 June 2021, $2,996,000 of interest has been capitalised
to inventories (2020: $3,078,000). Interest and other holding costs incurred after completion of development are
expensed as incurred. Inventories include deposits paid on unconditional contracts for development land.
The carrying amounts of inventories are reviewed at each balance date to ensure its carrying amount is recorded
at the lower of its cost and net realisable value. The net realisable value of inventories is the estimated selling
price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make
the sale. The determination of net realisable value of inventories involves estimates taking into consideration
prevailing market conditions, current prices and expected date of commencement and completion of the
projects, the estimated future selling price, cost to complete projects and selling costs. An impairment loss is
recognised in the income statement to the extent that the carrying value of inventories exceeds its estimated net
realisable value.
The fair values of inventories have been assessed by management who have prepared internal valuations and the
total value is in excess of the carrying value, therefore there is no indication of impairment.
The fair value of inventories as determined by management is categorised as Level 3 based on the inputs to
the valuation methodology. The basis of the valuation is the hypothetical subdivision approach and/or block
land sales comparisons to derive the residual block land values. The major unobservable inputs that are used in
the valuation model that require judgement include the individual section prices, allowances for profit and risk,
projected completion and sell down periods and interest rates during the holding period. The estimated fair value
would increase or (decrease) if: the individual section prices were higher/(lower); the allowances for profit were
higher/(lower); the allowances for risk were lower/(higher); the projected completion and sell down periods were
shorter/(longer); and the interest rate during the holding period was lower/(higher).

fees, costs, discounts and premiums are capitalised and spread over the expected life of the facility. All other
interest costs and bank fees are expensed in the period they are incurred.
(ii) MMLIC facility
On 15 June 2021, Lakeside Developments 2017 Limited (a 100% subsidiary company of the Company) entered
into a debt facility with Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company (MMLIC) for $130,000,000. The facility
expires 3 June 2027. Restricted cash includes cash of $43,109,000 (2020: nil) that has been funded by the MMLIC
facility (see note 5.4).
(iii) Clipper facility
On 13 May 2019, the Group entered into a debt facility with Clipper Investment Opportunity II Limited (Clipper)

(iv) Security
The MMLIC facility is secured by way of a general security deed provided by Lakeside Developments 2017
Limited and Lakeside Residential Limited and a registered mortgage security across the Lakeside development
property. The Company has provided a $10,000,000 corporate guarantee which increases to $20,000,000 should
30 day BKBM be equal or greater than 3.00%.
The Clipper facility was secured by way of a general security deed provided by the Group companies (except

Recognition and Measurement
Tax is accounted for on a consolidated Group basis and the Group is required to pay tax to the Inland Revenue
as required by the Income Tax Act 2007. Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax and is
recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income for the year.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, using tax rates enacted or
substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is provided for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for
financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes.
“Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities
and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on
different entities, but they intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis.”
Additional income tax arising from distribution of dividends is recognised at the same time as the liability to pay
the dividend is recognised.
Key estimates and assumptions: Deferred Tax
A deferred tax asset is recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available
against which temporary differences can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date
and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.

Recognition and Measurement
Accounts receivable are recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the
effective interest rate method. Receivables are assessed on an ongoing basis for impairment. The group
recognises a provision for impairment on receivables based on the lifetime expected credit loss at balance date.
Those which are anticipated to be uncollectable are written off. The Group applies the simplified approach to

5.10. Financial risk management
The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: interest rate risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.
The Group’s overall financial risk management strategy focuses on minimising the potential negative economic
impact of unpredictable events on its financial performance.
(a) Interest rate risk
The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s borrowings with
a floating interest rate.
The following sensitivity analysis shows the effect on profit before tax and equity if interest rates at balance
date had been 50 basis points (0.50%) higher or lower with all other variables held constant. The Group had no
exposure to the risk of changes in interest rates at 30 June 2020 as none of the Group’s borrowings had floating
interest rates.

Impact on equity (21) 11 - -
(b) Credit risk
Credit risk represents the risk that the counterparty to a financial instrument will fail to discharge its obligations
and the Group will suffer financial loss as a result. Financial instruments which potentially subject the Group to
credit risk consist of cash at bank, accounts receivable and other receivables.
With respect to the credit risk arising from cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, there is limited credit
risk as cash is deposited with Bank of New Zealand Limited, a registered bank in New Zealand with a credit rating
of AA– (Standard & Poor’s). The Group considers both historical analysis and forward looking information in
determining any expected credit loss, and infers from this strong credit rating that no loss allowance is deemed
necessary.
With respect to the credit risk arising from accounts receivable, the Group only enters into arrangements over its
inventories with parties whom the Group assesses to be creditworthy. Credit risk does not arise on property sale
proceeds to be settled as title will not transfer until settlement.
The carrying amount of financial assets as per note 5.9 approximates the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk.

(c) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will experience difficulty in either realising assets or otherwise raising
sufficient funds to meet its obligations arising from its financial liabilities. The Group manages liquidity risk by
continuously monitoring forecast and actual cash flows and matching the maturity profiles of financial assets
and liabilities.
The table below analyses the Group financial liabilities (principal and interest) by the relevant contracted maturity
groupings based on the remaining period as at 30 June 2021 and 30 June 2020.

(d) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern
whilst maximising the return to shareholders through maintaining an optimal balance of debt and equity. In order
to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders,
return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt.
The Group’s capital structure includes borrowings and shareholders equity. The Group monitors capital on
the basis of the loan to value ratio and borrowing covenant compliance. The loan to value ratio is calculated as
borrowings divided by the value of inventories. The Group’s strategy is to maintain a loan to value ratio of no more
than 50%.

Independent Auditor’s Report
To the shareholders of Winton Property Limited
Report on the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Opinion
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated
financial statements of Winton Property Limited
(the ’company’) and its subsidiaries (the 'group') o n
pages 4 to 20:
i.present fairly in all material respects the Group’s
financial position as at 30 June 2021 and its
financial performance and cash flows for the
year ended on that date; and
i.comply with New Zealand Equivalents to
International Financial Reporting Standards and
International Financial Reporting Standards.
We have audited the accompanying consolidated
financial statements which comprise:
— the consolidated statement of financial position
as at 30 June 2021;
— the consolidated statements of comprehensive
income, changes in equity and cash flows for
the year then ended; and
— notes, including a summary of significant
accounting policies and other explanatory
information.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (‘ ISAs (NZ)’) . We
believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We are independent of the group in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard 1 International Code of
Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the
New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the International Ethics Standards Board for
Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including International Independence
Standards) (‘IESBA Code’), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these
requirements and the IESBA Code.
Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the
consolidated financial statements section of our report.
Our firm has also provided other services to the group in relation to tax and advisory services. Subject to certain
restrictions, partners and employees of our firm may also deal with the group on normal terms within the
ordinary course of trading activities of the business of the group. These matters have not impaired our
independence as auditor of the group. The firm has no other relationship with, or interest in, the group.
Materiality
The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Materiality helped us to determine the
nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements, both individually
and on the consolidated financial statements as a whole. The materiality for the consolidated financial
statements as a whole was set at $2.5 million determined with reference to a benchmark of group total assets.
We chose the benchmark because, in our view, this is a key measure of the group’s performance.

22
Key audit matter
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit
of the consolidated financial statements in the current period. We summarise below those matters and our key
audit procedures to address those matters in order that the shareholders as a body may better understand the
process by which we arrived at our audit opinion. Our procedures were undertaken in the context of and solely
for the purpose of our statutory audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements as a whole and we do not
express discrete opinions on separate elements of the consolidated financial statements.
The key audit matter How the matter was addressed in our audit
Capitalisation and Allocation of Development Costs
Refer to note 3 of the consolidated financial
statements.
The Group’s development property
comprises land and costs incurred to
develop land into subdivisions and individual
properties for sale. At $163.9m this
represents 65% of assets on the
consolidated statement of financial position.
Determining whether to capitalise or
expense costs relating to development of
the land is subjective as it depends whether
the costs enhance the land or maintain the
current value. In addition, there is significant
judgement in determining how to allocate
the costs to individual properties.
We performed the following procedures to address the risk:
̶ Tested the appropriateness of controls around the
capitalisation of costs.
̶ Reviewed the nature of costs capitalised to ensure they
were appropriate and enhanced the value of properties.
̶ Vouched capitalised development costs to invoice and
supporting documentation.
̶ Agreed significant land acquisitions to purchase
agreements and ensured title transferred before the
balance date.
̶ Evaluated the cost allocation method and forecast costs.
̶ Analytical procedure over development property costs of
sales by development to identify outliers in margin
allocated within the same or similar developments as well
as between periods.
Other information
The Directors, on behalf of the group, are responsible for the other information included in the entity’s Annual
Report. Other information includes the Chairman/Chiel Executive Officer’s foreword and the Corporate Directory.
Our opinion on the consolidated financial statements does not cover any other information and we do not
express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
In connection with our audit of the consolidated financial statements our responsibility is to read the other
information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the
consolidated financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears materially
misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this
other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.
Use of this independent auditor’s r eport
This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the shareholders as a body. Our audit work has been
u
ndertaken so that we might state to the shareholders those matters we are required to state to them in the
independent auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept
or assume responsibility t o anyone other than the shareholders as a body for our a udit work, this independent
a
uditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.
23
Responsibilities of the Directors for the consolidated financial
statements
The Directors, on behalf of the company, are responsible for:
— the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted accounting practice in New Zealand (being New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial
Reporting Standards) and International Financial Reporting Standards;
— implementing necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a consolidated set of financial
statements that is fairly presented and free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
— assessing the ability to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable, matters related
to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either intend to liquidate or to
cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial
statements
Our objective is:
— to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and
— to issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAs (NZ) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.
Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate,
they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these
consolidated financial statements.
A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of these consolidated financial statements is located at
the External Reporting Board (XRB) website at:

making the call is passed.

Board waives payment of interest wholly or in part.

the holder, or one of the holders, of the Shares to which the call relates;
and
(ii) except in relation to any amount which, by the terms of issue of a Share,
is payable on allotment or at a fixed date, the resolution making the call
is entered in the Records and notice of the call has been duly given,
and proof of the matters mentioned in this clause is conclusive evidence of the
debt; and
(b) it is not necessary to prove the appointment or qualification of any member of the
Board which made the call nor any other matter.
7.10 Payment in advance of calls: The Company may receive from any Shareholder in advance
any amount uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by that Shareholder and may, until

thereafter by written notice to that Shareholder require payment of the amount unpaid
together with any accrued interest and all expenses incurred by the Company by reason of
such non-payment.
8.2 Contents of notice: The notice shall specify a further date (not earlier than 10 Working Days
after the date of service of the notice) on or before which the payment is to be made, and
shall state that, if payment is not made by the specified date, the Share in respect of which
the call or instalment of a call is due is liable to be forfeited.
8.3 Forfeiture for non-payment: If payment is not made by the date specified in the notice then,
at any time thereafter before the payment required by the notice has been made, any Share
in respect of which the notice has been given may be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to
that effect. The forfeiture shall include all Distributions declared in respect of the forfeited
Share and not paid before the forfeiture.
1650979-1

forfeited Share, on such terms as the Board thinks fit.

proceeds of sale of the Share, and all Distributions made in respect of the Share, for:

on such amounts, relating to the specific Shares;
(b) sale expenses owing to the Company in respect of any such Shares; and
(c) any amount which the Company may be called upon to pay under any legislation in
respect of the Share, whether or not the due date for payment thereof has arrived.

which the Company may have on that Share.

10.1 Company may sell Shares: The Company may sell any forfeited Share, or any Share on
which the Company has a lien, in such manner as the Board thinks fit, but:
(a) the Company shall not sell any Share:
(i) unless the amount in respect of which a lien exists is due and payable; or
(ii) until the expiry of 10 Working Days after written notice demanding
payment of the amount has been given to the person entitled to receive
notice of meetings of Shareholders in respect of the Share; and
(b) before the power of sale is exercised the Shares shall be offered for sale to the
holders of the remaining Shares as though they are newly issued Shares to which
the pre-emptive rights contained in the Shareholders’ Deed apply.
10.2 Proceeds of sale: The net proceeds (after deduction of any expenses) of the sale of a
forfeited Share or of any Share sold for the purpose of enforcing a lien shall be applied in or
1650979-1
towards satisfaction of any unpaid calls, instalments or other amounts and interest thereon.
The residue, if any, shall be paid to the holder of the Share at the time of its forfeiture or, in
the case of a Share sold for the purpose of enforcing a lien, the holder immediately prior to
the sale or, if applicable in either case, to the Personal Representative of the holder.
10.3 Evidence: A certificate by a Director that any power of sale has arisen and is exercisable by
the Company under this Constitution, or that a Share has been forfeited on the date stated
in the certificate, shall be conclusive evidence of those facts.
10.4 Sale procedure: For giving effect to any sale after forfeiture of any Share or for enforcing a
lien over any Share, the Board may authorise any person to transfer any Share to the
purchaser. The purchaser shall be registered as the holder of the Share and shall not be
bound to see to the application of the purchase money, and the title of the purchaser shall
not be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in relation to the sale. The remedy of any
person having a cause of action in relation to the sale is in damages only and solely against
the Company.

(a) be in any common form or any other form which the Board may approve;

or to the agent of the Company who maintains the Share Register, together with the Share
certificate (if any) relating to the Shares to be transferred, and the transferee shall provide
such evidence (if any) as the Board or the agent reasonably requires to prove the title of the
transferor to, or right of the transferor to transfer, the Shares.
11.4 Board powers to refuse to register: Subject to section 84 of the Act (which imposes certain
procedural requirements on a board), the Board may refuse to register a transfer of any
Share if:
(a) the Company has a lien on the Share;
1650979-1
(b) the Share is not fully paid up;
(c) the instrument of transfer is not accompanied by the relevant Share certificate (if
any) and such other evidence as the Board reasonably requires to prove the title of
the transferor to, or right of the transferor to transfer, the Share; or
(d) the Board has notice of any agreement by the Shareholder to transfer only to some
specified person or subject to some specified condition,
and the Board will refuse to register a transfer of any Share if the transfer is not in
accordance with the Shareholders’ Deed or this Constitution, provided that, in each case, the
Board resolves to exercise its power under this clause within 30 Working Days after receipt
of the relevant transfer and notice of the resolution is sent to the transferor and to the
transferee within five Working Days of the resolution being passed by the Board.

Share until the name of the transferee is entered in the Share Register in respect of the
Share.
11.6 Company to retain transfer: If the Company registers an instrument of transfer it shall retain
the instrument.
11.7 Multiple registers: Subject to the Act and, in particular, the requirement that the principal

Board, be divided into two or more registers, which may be kept in different places.
11.8 Share register kept by means of computer or other electronic system: Where the Board has
determined that the principal Share Register is to be kept by means of a computer or other
electronic system:
(a) the non-removable storage system or other central information storage system
(Central Information Storage System) of the computer or other electronic system
must be located in New Zealand;
(b) notwithstanding that the computer or other electronic system is capable of being
accessed by remote terminations (whether within or outside New Zealand), the
record of the principal Share Register on the Central Information Storage System
shall constitute the principal Share Register, which shall be located where the
Central Information Storage System is located; and
(c) where information deriving from any such computer or other electronic system is
capable of being accessed by remote terminals, in the event of any difference
between information provided at terminals located at the office in New Zealand
where the Central Information Storage System is located and information provided
at remote terminals, the former shall be conclusive for all purposes.

recognised by the Company as having any title to or interest in the Shares of the deceased

Shareholder from any liability in respect of any Share, or constitute a release of any lien
which the Company may have in respect of any Share.

Distributions, to attend meetings and to vote in person or by Representative), and
is subject to all limitations, attached to the Shares held by that Shareholder; and

not operate as a release of any rights (including any lien) to which the Company
was entitled prior to registration of the Personal Representative pursuant to this
sub-clause.

necessary or expedient to give effect to any such Distribution.
13.2 Form of Distribution: Subject to the rights of holders of any Shares in a Class, the Board

13.3 Entitlement to dividends: The Board must not authorise a dividend:
(a) in respect of some but not all the Shares in a Class; or

amount paid to the Company in satisfaction of the liability of the Shareholder under this
Constitution or under the terms of issue of the Share or is required, for a portfolio tax rate
entity, as a result of section HL 7 of the Income Tax Act 2004, but a Shareholder may waive

or under the direction or supervision of, the Board.
26.2 Exercise of powers by Board: The Board may exercise all the powers of the Company which

exercised by the Shareholders.
26.3 Delegation of powers: The Board may, with the unanimous approval of the Board, delegate
to a committee of Directors, a Director (including the Executive Director), an employee of the
Company, or to any other person, any one or more of its powers, other than a power set out
in the second schedule to the Act.
26.4 Appointment of attorney: The Company may exercise the power conferred by section 181 of

of the notice to the address of the Director;
(iii) in the case of posting, three Working Days after it is posted, or if posted
overseas, within five Working Days after it is posted; or
(iv) in the case of electronic means, at the time of transmission.
(e) If all reasonable efforts have been made to give notice of a meeting to a Director in
accordance with all of the methods set out in clause 28.5(d) but the Director
cannot be contacted, notice of the meeting shall be deemed to have been duly
given to that Director.
28.6 Director may convene meeting: Without limiting the provisions of clauses 28.3 or 28.5, a
Director has the right at any time to convene a meeting of the Board, or to require an
employee of the Company to convene a meeting of the Board, at the registered office of the
Company or at the place where the meetings of the Board for the time being are customarily
held, by giving not less than five Working Days' written notice signed by or on behalf of the
Director to each of the other Directors stating the date, time and place of the meeting and
the matters to be discussed.
28.7 Waiver of notice irregularity: An irregularity in the giving of notice of a meeting is waived if
all of the Directors entitled to receive notice of meeting either attend the meeting without
protest as to the irregularity or agree (whether before, during or after the meeting) to the
waiver.
28.8 Quorum: The requirement for a quorum for a meeting of the Board is governed by the

Deed.

appointment was defective or the person is not qualified for appointment.
28.12 Minutes: The Board shall ensure that minutes are kept of all proceedings at meetings of the

of the meeting are prima facie evidence of the proceedings.

be by deed which is to be entered into by the Company may be signed on behalf of the
Company, by:

Company in writing or orally by a person acting under the express or implied authority of the
Company.
30. Inspection of records

court to limit inspection), all accounting and other records of the Company shall be open to
the inspection of any Director.

1650979-1

Shareholder in accordance with the Act or this Constitution does not invalidate the
proceedings at a meeting of Shareholders if the failure to do so was accidental.

to the Shareholder named first in the Share Register in respect of that Share.

from time to time, by written notice to the Company, waive the right to receive all or any
documents from the Company and may revoke the waiver in the same manner. While any
waiver is in effect, the Company need not send to the Shareholder the documents to which
the waiver relates.
