American Depositary Receipt (ADR) information

An ADR is a stock that trades in the United States but represents a specified number of shares in a foreign company. Air New Zealand's ADRs are issued by Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas and represent 5 ordinary shares of Air New Zealand. The ADR acts as a security, can be traded in the United States, and trades in US dollars. An ADR is sometimes also referred to as an American Depositary Share (ADS).

The ADR ratio defines the numeric relationship between the number of ADRs and the number of ordinary shares. Every 5 Ordinary Air New Zealand Limited shares represent 1 Air New Zealand Limited ADR.

US investors may prefer to purchase ADRs rather than ordinary shares in Air New Zealand Limited's home market because ADRs trade, clear and settle according to US market conventions. ADRs allow chiefly US investors to diversify into non-US securities, relatively easily.

Air New Zealand Limited established the ADR programme to make it easier for US investors to invest in Air New Zealand Limited. ADRs are easier for US investors for various reasons including that administrative costs are reduced and capital gains are realized in US dollars.

We hope that the ADR programme encourages US investors to increase their exposure to Air New Zealand Limited, as it will now be easier for them to do so.

Information about Air New Zealand Limited is widely available on Air New Zealand Limited's website.

Air New Zealand Limited ADRs are traded over-the-counter (OTC) on the electronic market operated by OTCMarkets.

The US dollar rate paid to holders of ADRs is calculated by applying the exchange rate used to convert the foreign dividend payment (net of local withholding tax) to US dollars, and adjusting the result according to the ordinary share (ADR ratio).

For example, if someone held 100 ADRs of Air New Zealand, they would, assuming a ratio of 1:5, receive their share of the dividend allocable to 500 underlying shares, after applying the exchange rate and net of any taxes and government changes and any applicable fees and charges of and expenses incurred by, the Depositary.

ADR holders will receive the dividend in U.S. dollars. The depositary bank typically announces the final ADR dividend rate following conversion into U.S. dollars. ADR rates and pay dates will be published on www.adr.db.com.
