Infratil and Mercury confirm FIRB approval obtained for full takeover offer for Tilt

Renewables


Infratil Limited (“Infratil”) is pleased to advise that Infratil 2018 Limited and Mercury NZ Limited

("TLT JV") have obtained approval from the Australian Foreign Investment Review Board

(“FIRB”) to acquire up to a 100% interest in Tilt Renewables Limited ("Tilt Renewables"). This

satisfies the only substantive condition of TLT JV’s takeover offer for Tilt Renewables despatched

yesterday.


In addition, TLT JV has notified Tilt Renewables this morning (see the Tilt Renewables’ NZX

announcements page) that the 50% condition has also been satisfied.


The offer remains subject to certain customary conditions. The key outstanding condition is TLT

JV confirming that persons who are parties to any material contracts with any member of the Tilt

Group have provided any required consents, waivers or releases in respect of their rights to

terminate, vary, accelerate or enforce such contracts (or similar rights) which may arise as a

result of TLT JV’s takeover offer. TLT JV expects to receive shortly information from Tilt

Renewables to confirm its expectation that condition can be waived or declared satisfied.


TLT JV currently intends to waive or declare as satisfied (to the extent permitted by law) the

remaining conditions once the material contracts condition is waived or satisfied. Payments to

Tilt Renewables shareholders who accept the offer would commence within 7 days thereafter.
