Introduction to New Zealand Rural Land Company (NZRLC) As the worlds’ population grows, productive food-producing agricultural land becomes increasingly important and supply of rural land globally is declining. New Zealand has a competitive advantage in agriculture. New Zealand Rural Land Company (NZRLC) is a newly incorporated entity that has been formed for the purpose of acquiring rural land across New Zealand’s agricultural sector. NZRLC will partner with and lease land to experienced farmers and food producers. NZRLC would present a differentiated investment proposition to what is currently available on the NZX: •

Exposure to agriculture / rural land as an asset class without the direct operational exposure and volatility;

Core focus on securing high quality, well capitalised, long-term tenants to provide security around income.

Market forces are creating an opportunity to acquire high quality dairy farms at attractive prices. Although the initial target is dairy land given favorable pricing backdrop, NZRLC will target other rural land asset classes across cycles. Target minimum gross lease rate of 4.50% per annum* + potential NAV growth. NZRLC will be the only agricultural land based listed property company on the NZX and is raising a minimum of $75m via an Initial Public Offering (IPO).

NZRLC will own New Zealand Rural Land Assets and Lease to the Highest Quality Tenants NZRLC believes the primary store of long-term value is in the Land - therefore this is what we would like to own. The attractiveness of the land itself coupled with a regular and long term lease payment is what makes this structure an attractive way to access one of New Zealand’s largest, successful and important asset classes - Rural Land; We believe that establishing an Agri-LPC (Listed Property Company) that owns the land and leases (long-term) to high quality tenants allows investors to have a ‘pure play’ land asset which has regular and long-term income whilst allowing the sector to release capital into farming efficiency, R&D, job creation and debt reduction which facilitates and promotes capital efficiency within the economy.

MITIGATING TRADITIONAL RISKS

No direct on-farm risks (via either sharemilker or operational partner)

No direct exposure to volatile commodity prices

No direct exposure to environmental risks

No direct exposure to animal health risks

No direct exposure to farmer co-ops

Separating Land Ownership from Operations increases capital efficiency for tenants and allows investors to own ONLY the rural land. 4


Why Dairy? Why Now? Versus Other Asset Classes? 1 Attractive outlook for New Zealand Dairy Farms

• On farm profitability set to grow between +4.76% to +6.04% per annum from 2019 to 2029* • This on farm profitability growth is largely derived from a increasing milk price driven by growing global population, demand outstripping supply, global dairy deficit forecast to expand from -6MT to -30MT from 2017-2027** • New Zealand dairy farms present an attractive asset as natural low-cost, low-carbon footprint food production assets will become increasingly important over the medium-term as a result of exponential growth in food demand and changing consumer preferences for natural, and low input food production

2 Attractive Entry Point

3 Attractive Risk Profile vs. Alternatives

• Attractive pricing has been provided by a withdrawal from capital to the sector due to foreign ownership bans and reduction of credit to the sector

• Leases of 4.50% and above compare very attractively to 2.0% to 3.0% that was achievable historically due to a decrease in land prices and an increase in on-farm profitability (land prices are down -20% to -30%***, with on-farm profitability up +20% to +30%****) • New Zealand dairy farms have a lower

‘improvements’ value as a % of total assets versus commercial property and horticultural assets (10% to 20% of total assets versus 50% to 85% for other property assets*****)

• New Zealand primary produce is majority sold via co-ops whose structure results in the value of primary produce flowing to the producer (i.e. farmer) and in turn this increases the land values as this is the scarce resource needed to increase production i.e. any increase in primary production value increases the value of the land * Source: Dairy NZ Economic Survey 2018-19. EFS Grown at +2.26% - +2.86% per OECD 2019-2028 range for Whole Milk Solids and Skim Milk Solids. Farm Working Expenses (FWE) growth rate is the 10year average Farm Working Expenses from Dairy NZ Economic Survey 2018-19. ** Source: A Winning Growth Strategy for Dairy, McKinsey, 2019 *** Based on REINZ sales data, recent sales and NZRLC purchase price range. **** Source: 2019 Dairy Economic Survey. Based on 2019 Milk Price (NZ$ 6.35) vs. 2020 Milk Price (NZ$ 7.14) assuming small change in on-farm working expenses. ***** Source: Property Guru, REINZ and Colliers.

• Dairy farming cash flows are attractive as they are monthly and reliably forecast (month-by-month) vs. some horticultural assets that receive an annual payment derived from harvest yields and price at that time

• Food production assets provide a very attractive alternative to commercial property especially in a post-COVID world where office space and retail space may be in less demand 5


Macro Tailwind for Agricultural Land - Global Population Growth Yet Available Land Declining The global population is estimated to increase by +41% by 2050, causing the demand for food to increase. Current projections show the supply of dairybased protein (milk) alone, is currently 6 million tons short of demand, this shortage is estimated to be around 30 million tons by 2027; There is a rising consumer preference for ethically produced food and rising global incomes which increases the demand for premium food that New Zealand produces; It is projected that by 2050 feeding the world will require an increase in food production of 70%, at a time when supply of rural land is decreasing.

NZRLC - Selected Counterparty Profile Website: www.fortunagroup.net.nz OVERVIEW

Fortuna Group was founded in 2012. Its founders David and Kay Dodunski began farming in New Zealand in 1992 and have been industry leaders in Animal Welfare and reducing the environmental footprint associated with Dairy Farming. Since Fortuna’s inception it has been involved in the purchase, establishment and operation of dairy farming businesses in the greater Southland region of New Zealand. Their operational excellence is exhibited in their ability to grow and perform over a multi-year period. Their focus is now on leveraging their operational footprint, systems and processes to grow their dairy farming footprint in a less capital intensive manner. BACKGROUND AND HISTORY Based in Invercargill Fortuna Group is involved in the purchase, establishment and operation of dairy farming businesses in the greater Southland region of New Zealand. The group was formed in June 2012 upon acquiring the assets and management resources of founding farming family, the Dodunskis. David and Kay Dodunski moved to Southland in 1992 with their four children. They initially purchased 125 hectares of farmland and milked 216 cows. Over the following ten years and by the time Fortuna Group was founded in 2012 David and Kay owned four dairy units, three support blocks and were shareholders in two other farms. That same dedication and passion shown by the Dodunski family still drives Fortuna Group today. They are now one of the fastest growing dairy operations in the region. Their operations perform in the top quartile of farms in Southland, (versus Dairybase benchmarking database) including farm conversion opportunities and farms with potential productivity gains. Fortuna Group owns shares in more than 18 both wholly-owned and majority-owned operating entities in the Southland region. They run more than 10,000 dairy cows over 3,626 hectares, and operate 920 hectares of support land over three farms, 365 days a year. Additionally to this Fortuna Group manage 4 dairy units and 2 support farms on behalf of the Dodunski’s and Richards families as part of the historical setup of Fortuna.

THEIR STATED MISSION IS HAPPY, HEALTHY, THRIVING People/Happy Top talent = provide opportunities for our people Planet/Healthy Quality farms = develop and enhance our farms for future generations Profit/Thriving Operational excellence = consistently generate high returns

GOVERNANCE Fortuna Group’s Governance is robust and diversified. The directors of the company have material ‘skin in the game’ and a range of relevant experience and industry from a governance point of view alongside depth of Dairy Farming governance expertise. Their operational management exhibits depth of experience and a robust succession model.

ENVIRONMENTAL

ANIMAL WELFARE

Fortuna has wide ranging environmental harm reduction policies and practices in place ranging from effluent storage and nutrient management to regulations, consents and on farm best practice, all Fortuna farms have infrastructure designed to maximise production and efficiencies while simultaneously minimising adverse impacts on the environment.

Fortuna has farm specific and company wide animal welfare and winter grazing policy’s in place. To ensure that their ‘5 freedoms’ of modern animal welfare practice.

Specific strategies are in place to reduce Methane, Nitrous Oxide, and Nitrogen leaching into water ways via our riparian plantings and fencing off waterways - these were implemented long before they were mandated. Introduction of a Methane recovery system has since reduced the environmental footprint by 5.0% to 7.0% annually since Fortuna pioneered the first system in NZ in 2015 at a single dairy unit. All farms have, or have under development, an environmental plan in place to recognise at risk or critical source areas that are monitored to ensure reduction of environmental footprint in line or above and beyond (farm dependent) the impending changes to standards being set by Southland Regional Council and the National Fresh Water Policy Proposal.

Animal Health Policy Fortuna Group farms have adopted the ‘five freedoms’ for modern animal welfare practice: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Freedom from thirst, hunger and malnutrition Freedom from discomfort Freedom from pain, injury or disease Freedom to express normal behavior Freedom from fear and distress in addition to our five freedom practices

In addition to their five freedom practices, they also work closely with VetSouth, to run a comprehensive vaccination programme focused on prevention, have carefully managed stock security guidelines and their staff are trained and updated annually in best practise management and legal obligations of animal welfare.
