Harmoney delisting from the NZX

23 September 2022

ASX / NZX RELEASE

HARMONEY DELISTING FROM THE NZX

Further to the announcement made by Harmoney Corp Limited (ASX/NZX: HMY; “Harmoney” or “the Company”) on Friday 9 September 2022, the Company will be delisting from the Main Board of NZX Limited (“NZX”) and consolidating its listings on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).

Highlights:
• Harmoney shares will cease to be quoted on the NZX and will be delisted from close of business on Friday 28 October 2022.
• Harmoney shares will be automatically transferred from the NZX to the ASX, and no action will be required by shareholders.
• Harmoney’s sole listing on the ASX will commence on Monday 31 October 2022.
• New Zealand shareholders will still be able to trade Harmoney shares through any New Zealand brokers who can facilitate trading on the ASX, or through an Australian broker.

DELISTING FROM THE NZX

Harmoney’s board of directors (“Board”) has resolved that Harmoney will delist from the NZX and move to a sole listing on the ASX. Harmoney is delisting from NZX because:

• Harmoney is dual listed, with its primary listing being on the ASX. Given that only a small number of Harmoney’s shares are listed on the NZX, Harmoney can reduce its compliance obligations, and administrative and financial costs, by consolidating its listings on its primary exchange.
• Harmoney has experienced low trading volumes spread between both exchanges and hopes to increase the market efficiency for the trading of its shares by consolidating all trading on a single exchange. As at 20 September 2022, Harmoney only had 341 New Zealand registered shareholders, who collectively held just 6.45% of the total number of Harmoney shares.

NZ RegCo has approved the delisting, subject to Harmoney meeting certain customary conditions. Consequently:
• The trading of Harmoney shares on the NZX will cease at the close of business on Wednesday 26 October 2022.
• There will be no trading of Harmoney shares on the NZX on Thursday 27 October 2022 and Friday 28 October 2022.
• Harmoney will be delisted from the NZX from the close of business on Friday 28 October 2022.
• Harmoney shares will be automatically transferred from the NZX to the ASX, and no action will be required by shareholders.
• Harmoney’s sole listing on the ASX will commence at the opening of the next trading day, being Monday 31 October 2022.

New Zealand shareholders will still be able to trade Harmoney shares through New Zealand brokers who can facilitate trading on the ASX, or through an Australian broker. Please see: https://www2.asx.com.au/investors/start-investing/find-a-broker-adviser.

FURTHER COMMUNICATION WITH SHAREHOLDERS

Harmoney will send the attached letter to NZX registered shareholders to explain the delisting process, and recommends they ensure that their contact details are up to date.
This announcement was authorised by the Board of Harmoney Corp Limited.

APPENDIX: FORM OF SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATION

Dear Shareholder

Harmoney Corp Limited – Delisting from the NZX

We are writing to inform you that the board of directors (“Board”) of Harmoney Corp Limited (ASX/NZX: HMY; “Harmoney” or “the Company”) has resolved that Harmoney will delist from the Main Board of NZX Limited (“NZX”) and consolidate its listings on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”).

Harmoney is delisting from the NZX because:

• Harmoney is dual listed, with its primary listing being on the ASX. Given that only a small number of Harmoney’s shares are listed on the NZX, Harmoney can reduce its compliance obligations, and administrative and financial costs, by consolidating its listings on its primary exchange.
• Harmoney has experienced low trading volumes spread between both exchanges and hopes to increase the market efficiency for the trading of its shares by consolidating all trading on a single exchange. As at 20 September 2022, Harmoney only had 341 New Zealand registered shareholders, who collectively held just 6.45% of the total number of Harmoney shares.

Exchange rate movements could impact the amount in New Zealand dollars that you receive on any sale of your Harmoney shares, even if there is no change in the underlying share price in Australian dollars.

Transferring your shares from the NZX to the ASX prior to delisting

As there is no trading in Harmoney shares on the NZX on Thursday 27 October 2022 and Friday 28 October 2022, if you are an NZX registered shareholder and wish to trade on those days, you should move your NZX shares to the ASX prior to 5pm NZDT on Wednesday 26 October 2022 by:
• Completing and returning a “Request for Removal of Securities Form” from Harmoney’s Share Registry (Link Market Services): https://www.linkmarketservices.co.nz/downloads/Forms/change-details/RRS001.pdf.
• Arranging the move with a NZX broker (if you have one).

As there is no trading in Harmoney shares on the NZX on Thursday 27 October 2022 and Friday 28 October 2022, if you are an NZX registered shareholder and wish to trade on those days, you should move your NZX shares to the ASX prior to 5pm NZDT on Wednesday 26 October 2022.

Trading on the ASX

Buying or selling shares on the ASX must be facilitated by a broker who is an ASX Market Participant.

If you have traded Harmoney shares on the NZX using a broker, you should ask them whether they have the capability to trade on the ASX. If so, you could continue to trade your Harmoney shares using that broker.

Otherwise, you could use the following links to select a broker who can facilitate trading on the ASX:
• Australia: https://www2.asx.com.au/investors/start-investing/find-a-broker-adviser
• New Zealand: https://www.nzx.com/services/market-participants/all-market-participants

It might take a few days for your broker to set you up for trading on the ASX, so allow for this time if you wish to commence trading on any particular date.

Harmoney’s Share Registry (Link Market Services) also offers a service to issuer sponsored shareholders (those with a Securityholder Reference Number) who wish to sell their entire shareholding. Please see: https://www.linkmarketservices.com.au/corporate/resources/selling-your-shares.html.

Securityholder Reference Numbers / Holder Identification Numbers

Your legal title to your Harmoney shares can be registered:
• On Harmoney’s issuer sponsored subregister maintained by Harmoney’s Share Registry (Link Market Services). You will be allocated a unique Securityholder Reference Number (“SRN”) by Harmoney.
• On the CHESS subregister maintained by ASX Settlement. If you hold shares on the CHESS subregister you will be allocated a Holder Identification Number (“HIN”).

You would have a different SRN for each company in which you hold shares.

You would have one HIN for all companies in which you hold shares.

Please see: https://www.asx.com.au/documents/about/fact-sheet-chess-sponsored-and-issuer-sponsored-holdings.pdf.

If you already have an HIN, this will remain the same. You can ask your broker to do an “Issuer to CHESS conversion” to convert your Harmoney shares from your new SRN to your HIN.

New Zealand Common Shareholder Numbers

On Monday 31 October 2022, your New Zealand Common Shareholder Number (“CSN”) will still be valid, but your Harmoney shares will cease to be recorded against your CSN.

You will no longer require your CSN or your Authorisation Code (“FIN”) for your Harmoney shares.

Viewing your shares

To view your shares, log in to: https://investorcentre.linkgroup.com/Login/Login. You will need to enter your HIN or SRN, as well as your country of residence (or for Australia, your postcode).

Link Market Services stores historical information about your holdings for up to 7 years.
