PCT 05/03/2015 09:49 S/HOLDER NOT PRICE SENSITIVE REL: 0949 HRS Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited S/HOLDER: PCT: Letter to ineligible shareholders 2 March 2015 Dear Shareholder, Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited Pro-rata entitlement offer - notification to ineligible shareholders On 25 February 2015, Precinct Properties New Zealand Limited ("Precinct") announced that it was conducting an accelerated entitlement offer to eligible shareholders to subscribe for 1 new Precinct share ("New Shares") for every 7 existing Precinct shares ("Existing Shares") held at 5pm (New Zealand time) on 27 February 2015 ("Record Date") (the "Offer") to raise approximately NZ$174.1 million. The Offer will be underwritten by Credit Suisse (Australia) Limited and First NZ Capital Securities Limited (the "Underwriters"). The Offer is being conducted in two parts: the institutional offer ("Institutional Entitlement Offer") and the retail offer ("Retail Entitlement Offer"). The terms of the Offer are detailed in an Offer Document dated 25 February 2015. No action has been or will be taken to register, qualify or otherwise permit a public offering of the New Shares in any jurisdiction outside Australia and New Zealand. In particular, the Offer Documents are not for distribution in the United States or to persons in the United States and the New Shares have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933 (the "U.S. Securities Act") or the securities laws of any state of the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, persons in the United States, except in transactions exempt from or not subject to the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Under the terms of the Offer, you are either an "Ineligible Institutional Shareholder" (defined below) or an "Ineligible Retail Shareholder" (defined below) and accordingly you are not eligible to subscribe for New Shares and you will not be sent a copy of the Offer Document. This letter is to inform you about the Offer. It is neither an offer to issue shares to you, nor an invitation for you to apply for New Shares. You are not required to do anything in response to this letter. However, you may still receive some benefit from the Offer, as described below. What is the Offer? The Offer involves an offer to: (a) shareholders as at the Record Date with a registered address in: (i) in New Zealand, who Precinct considers is an institutional, habitual, or sophisticated investor; (ii) in Australia, who Precinct considers is a person to whom an offer of shares for issue may lawfully be made without disclosure under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Australia) (as modified by any applicable regulatory instrument); (iii) in Hong Kong, who Precinct considers is a professional investor as defined in the Securities and Futures Ordinance (Cap. 571) of the Laws of Hong Kong; (iv) in Japan, who Precinct considers is a "qualified institutional investor" (as defined in article 2, paragraph 3 of the Financial Instruments and Exchange Law of Japan (Law No. 25 of 1948)); (v) in Singapore, who Precinct considers is a institutional investor as defined in Subdivision (4) Division 1, Part XIII of the Securities and Futures Act, Chapter 289 of Singapore; (vi) in the United Arab Emirates (excluding the Dubai International Financial Centre), who Precinct considers is an institutional investor; or (vii) in the United Kingdom, who Precinct considers is a qualified investor within the meaning of section 86(7) of the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000, as amended, in each case who is not in the United States or acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States and who is(or the nominee for such a person is) invited to participate in the Institutional Entitlement Offer ("Eligible Institutional Shareholders"); and shareholders as at 5.00pm (NZ time) on the Record Date who have a registered address in New Zealand or Australia, are not in the United States of America and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the United States, and are not an Eligible Institutional Shareholder or Ineligible Institutional Shareholder, ("Eligible Retail Shareholders") under the Retail Entitlement Offer, in each case, of an entitlement to subscribe for 1 New Share for every 7 Existing Shares ("Entitlement") held at the Record Date, at a price of NZ$1.15 ("Offer Price") for each New Share. Precinct is also making an offer of New Shares under the Institutional Entitlement Offer to a limited number of institutional shareholders in the United States in a private placement. A number of New Shares equal to the number of New Shares not taken up by Eligible Institutional Shareholders under the Institutional Entitlement Offer and the New Shares which would have been offered to those institutional shareholders who are ineligible to participate ("Ineligible Institutional Shareholders") if they had been eligible to participate in the Institutional Offer, will be offered for subscription to institutional investors through a bookbuild process following the Institutional Entitlement Offer ("Institutional Bookbuild"). Similarly, a number of New Shares equal to the number of New Shares not taken up by Eligible Retail Shareholders in the Retail Entitlement Offer and the New Shares which would have been offered to those retail shareholders who are ineligible to participate ("Ineligible Retail Shareholders") if they had been eligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer will be offered for subscription to institutional investors through a bookbuild process following the Retail Entitlement Offer ("Retail Bookbuild"). The Offer Price will be paid from the proceeds of each bookbuild to Precinct from the proceeds of each bookbuild as full consideration for the New Shares. Any premium over the Offer Price that is achieved under the Institutional Bookbuild on 27 February 2015 will be paid pro rata to Eligible Institutional Shareholders who did not take up their Entitlement in full (with respect to that part of the Entitlement they did not take up only) and each Ineligible Institutional Shareholder. Any premium over the Offer Price that is achieved under the Retail Bookbuild on 20 March 2015 will be paid pro rata to Eligible Retail Shareholders who did not take up their Entitlement in full (with respect to that part of the Entitlement they did not take up only) and each Ineligible Retail Shareholder. There is no guarantee that any such premium will achieved under the Institutional Bookbuild or Retail Bookbuild, or that the premium (if any) achieved for New Shares in the Institutional Bookbuild will be matched in the Retail Bookbuild (or vice versa). The ability to sell New Shares under the Institutional Bookbuild or Retail Bookbuild and the ability to obtain any premium to the Offer Price will be dependent upon various factors, including market conditions. To the maximum extent permitted by law, none of Precinct, its manager (AMP Haumi Management Limited) the Underwriters, or any associates of those entities, will be liable, including for negligence, for any failure to procure applications under the Institutional Bookbuild or Retail Bookbuild at a price in excess of the Offer Price. Why am I not eligible to participate in the Offer? Under the terms of the Offer, investors that are not Eligible Retail Shareholders or Eligible Institutional Shareholders are ineligible to take up Entitlements to subscribe for New Shares under the Offer. The restrictions upon eligibility are due to legal limitations in some countries, the relatively small number of shareholders there, the small number and value of Existing Shares they hold and the potential cost of complying with regulatory requirements in those countries. Precinct has determined that having regard to the relatively small number of shareholders, the small number and value of Existing Shares they hold and the potential cost of complying with regulatory requirements, it would be unreasonable to make the Offer to shareholders resident in any country outside of Australia or New Zealand (in connection with the Retail Entitlement Offer) or the other stated jurisdictions above (in connection with the Institutional Entitlement Offer). While this Offer is not available to you, I would like to thank you for your continuing support.

This letter does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, any person in the United States. No action has been or will be taken to register or qualify the New Shares in any jurisdiction outside Australia or New Zealand. The New Shares have not been, and will not be, registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 (Securities Act) or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction in the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, a person in the United States, except in transactions exempt from, or not subject to, registration under the Securities Act and the relevant securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction in the United States.
