ASX RELEASE
‘NAB powered by Plenti’ car and EV loan
customer launch
Plenti Group Limited (Plenti) and National Australia Bank Limited (NAB) today announce that
the first product under their strategic partnership, the ‘NAB powered by Plenti’ car and EV loan,
has entered the second phase of its roll-out and is now available to NAB’s personal banking
customers.
The launch of the ‘NAB powered by Plenti’ car and EV loan to NAB customers follows a period
of restricted availability to NAB employees, during which the customer experience and
underlying operations were further refined and enhanced. This next stage of the progressive
roll-out represents an important milestone, with NAB’s significant existing customer base now
able to access the product.
Plenti and NAB expect that volumes will be controlled at moderate levels over the next 6
months as the parties further iterate the product and improve the customer journey.
The ‘NAB powered by Plenti’ car and EV loan is the first product to be launched under the
strategic partnership between Plenti and NAB announced in November 2023. Plenti and NAB
concurrently entered into an equity investment agreement, which provides for NAB to acquire
or subscribe for Plenti shares, based on the achievement of certain product milestones.
The launch to NAB’s existing customers represents the achievement of the product milestone
required to open the two-month period in which NAB may exercise its rights in relation to
Placement 1 of the equity investment agreement.1
Equity Investment Agreement - Placement 1 terms
NAB may now subscribe (and correspondingly Plenti must make a placement to NAB) for up to
9,061,061 Plenti shares, at a price per share which is the lower of:
•
•
$0.90, and
A 25% premium to Plenti’s 1-month share price VWAP prior to the issuance of a
subscription notice, subject to a floor price per share of $0.75
Further information regarding the terms of the equity investment agreement entered into with
NAB can be found in Plenti’s strategic partnership announcement dated 28 November 2023.

As NAB may be restricted from exercising its right to subscribe for shares between Plenti’s half-year end on 30 September 2024
and release of Plenti’s half-year results to the ASX in November (the “Blackout Period”), the period during which NAB is able to
exercise the placement right may be extended beyond the two-month window for up to the same length of time as the Blackout
Period
