This Terms Sheet is prepared in respect of an offer by Auckland International Airport Limited (Auckland Airport) of NZ$150,000,000 (Bonds) under its master trust deed dated 9 July 2004 (as amended and restated from time to time), as modified and supplemented by the supplemental trust deed dated 29 October 2021 entered into between Auckland International Airport Limited and The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited (Supervisor) (together, Trust Documents).

Important Notice

The offer of Bonds is being made in reliance upon the exclusion in clause 19 of schedule 1 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMCA). Except for the interest rate and maturity date, the Bonds will have identical rights, privileges, limitations and conditions as Auckland Airport's:

  1. 4.28% NZ$100,000,000 fixed rate bonds maturing on 9 November 2022 which are quoted on the NZX Debt Market under the ticker code AIA200;
  2. 3.97% NZ$225,000,000 fixed rate bonds maturing on 2 November 2023 which are quoted on the NZX debt market under the ticker code AIA210;
  3. 3.64% NZ$100,000,000 fixed rate bonds maturing on 17 April 2023 which are quoted on the NZX debt market under the ticker code AIA220; and
  4. 3.51% NZ$150,000,000 fixed rate bonds maturing on 10 October 2024 which are quoted on the NZX debt market under the ticker code AIA230,

(together, Quoted Bonds) and therefore are of the same class as the Quoted Bonds for the purposes of the FMCA and the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014 (FMC Regulations).
