               Corporate Action – Purchasing Additional Shares in Treasury Wine

               Estates (TWE)



               As at 13 November 2023




               Following a review of your Professional Assertive portfolio (85% growth assets with a mix of
               managed funds and listed securities), we have reconfirmed our conviction in the current
               weights (ie allocation to each investment).

               Below is a summary of the acquisition agreement.

               Treasure Wine Estates (TWE) have announced that they have entered into an agreement to
               acquire 100% of DAOU  Vineyards, for an  upfront consideration of USD $900m, plus  an
               additional earn-out of up to USD $100m payable if certain pre-agreed performance targets are
               met.

               To fund the acquisition, TWE have issued USD $100m in new TWE shares to the existing owners
               of DAOU and have borrowed $USD 311m from a new USD $350m acquisition bridge facility.

               TWE has also raised approximately AUD $604m via an institutional entitlement offer and is
               now raising a further AUD $221m via a fully underwritten retail entitlement offer at $10.80 per
               share.

               Purchased:


               Given our conviction in TWE, our positive view on the acquisition, the discount on offer, and
               the dilution shareholders would experience if they did not participate, we have taken up the
               offer in your SMA. This will therefore increase your existing exposure to TWE.

               Eligible investors are entitled to 1 share per 9.45 shares owned at a price of $10.80 per
               ordinary share.
