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.

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.
