Tilt Renewables: Dundonnell Wind Farm Replacement Underwriting Agreement


Attached is the market release from Tilt Renewables in relation to a volume underwriting

arrangement agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Limited and Forsyth Barr Group Limited for

an A$300 million equity raising for the fully permitted Dundonnell Wind Farm (Dundonnell).


Dundonnell is a major development project in Tilt Renewables’ portfolio, and one which Infratil

supports. Infratil is a 51% shareholder in Tilt Renewables and, as noted in Tilt Renewables’ market

release, Infratil has provided a conditional commitment to subscribe for its full pro-rata entitlement

in that equity raising.


This volume underwriting agreement replaces the equity funding support provided by Infratil to Tilt

Renewables as part of Tilt Renewables’ funding arrangements for its bid into the Victorian

Renewable Energy Auction Scheme (VREAS) for a portion of output from Dundonnell (announced

by Tilt Renewables and Infratil on 14 February 2018).


Tilt Renewables has also stated in its market release that it will provide further details of the timing

and terms of any equity raising (including any associated Tilt Renewables’ shareholder approval

process, if required) when the outcome of the VREAS process is known.

Dundonnell Wind Farm Replacement Underwriting Agreement


On 14 February 2018, Tilt Renewables Limited (“Tilt Renewables”) announced that it

submitted a bid into the Victorian Renewable Energy Auction Scheme (“VREAS”) for a portion

of output from the fully permitted Dundonnell Wind Farm (“Dundonnell”).


As part of the funding arrangements, Tilt Renewables advised that it had obtained equity

funding support from its majority shareholder Infratil Limited (“Infratil”). This equity funding

support comprised a conditional agreement by Infratil to offer to underwrite 100% of an equity

raising of A$300 million for Dundonnell (subject to agreement on equity pricing) should

Dundonnell be successful in securing a contract through the VREAS process.


Tilt Renewables wishes to advise that, as permitted by the agreement with Infratil, it has

entered into a volume underwriting agreement with Citigroup Global Markets Limited and

Forsyth Barr Group Limited in relation to the A$300 million equity raising. This volume

underwriting agreement replaces the equity support arrangement with Infratil. Infratil has

provided a conditional commitment to subscribe for its full pro-rata entitlement in the equity

raising. There are no underwriting or commitment fees payable on the Infratil portion of the

equity raising.


Further details of the timing and terms of any equity raising (including any associated

shareholder approval process, if required) will be provided when the outcome of the VREAS

process is known.
