TOURISM HOLDINGS LIMITED (thl)


THL RESPONDS TO NBIO, CONFIRMS FY25 uNPAT EXPECTATIONS


Response to non-binding indicative offer


Tourism Holdings Limited (NZX:THL, ASX:THL, “thl” or “the Company”) refers to its announcement on 16 June

2025 in relation to the unsolicited, conditional, non-binding indication of interest from a consortium

comprising BGH Capital and the family interests of Luke and Karl Trouchet (the Consortium) to acquire thl

for $2.30 per share (the BGH Proposal).


The Board

1

engaged expert financial (Jarden) and legal (MinterEllisonRuddWatts) advisers and formed a

Committee of Independent Directors in June to assist in its assessment of the BGH Proposal. The Board has

since undertaken a comprehensive assessment process. In addition, the Board reconfirmed thl’s business

plan, strategic initiatives, which have been ongoing for some time, and potential earnings capacity. thl has

also met with many of its key institutional shareholders and has received their feedback in relation to the

BGH Proposal.


The Board firmly believes that thl’s share price prior to the BGH Proposal reflected a bottom-of-the-cycle

trading environment and that this contributed to the timing of an opportunistic and undervalued offer for

the Company. Based on careful consideration and external analysis, the Board has come to the view that the

value of the Company is well north of $3.00 per share.


The Board acknowledges that its view on valuation is materially above the last trading price for thl prior to

receipt of the BGH Proposal. The Board also accepts that there is an inherent risk in execution of thl’s growth

roadmap and global economic factors which may affect thl’s future outlook. However, even allowing for

significant downsides, and valuing currently underperforming parts of the Group based on their underlying

assets, the current BGH Proposal is well below a level that the Board can engage with.


The Board has therefore formally communicated to the Consortium that it rejects its current offer. In the

interests of thl shareholders and the Company, the Board remains open to engagement with the Consortium

or other potential bidders if a significantly improved offer is provided.


1

As noted in thl’s NZX/ASX announcement dated 16 June 2025, the Board determined that Luke Trouchet would not participate in the thl Board or subcommittee

meetings and processes assessing the merits of, or matters associated with or relevant to, the BGH Proposal, nor in respect of other strategic initiatives being

considered by thl. Accordingly, references in this announcement to the Board refer to the Board comprising all Directors of thl other than Luke Trouchet.




Preliminary underlying NPAT results for FY25


thl has today confirmed that, subject to final tax calculations and completion of year-end procedures, its FY25

underlying NPAT expectations remain in line with its announcement on 4 July 2025, being that FY25

underlying NPAT will be at the lower end of the analyst range of expectations at that time of $27.0M to

$34.4M.

thl’s statutory NPAT for FY25, also subject to final tax calculations and completion of year-end procedures, is

likely to be a loss, given the potential impairment of USA goodwill of up to $36 million (up to $27 million post-

tax), potential deferred tax write-offs in the USA and the UK of up to $21 million, and other non-cash one-off

items.
