Tilt Renewables Target Company Statement


Infratil is reviewing the Target Company Statement released yesterday by Tilt Renewables

Limited ("Tilt Renewables") in response to the full cash takeover offer made by Infratil 2018

Limited and Mercury NZ Limited (“TLT JV”).


Infratil’s Chief Executive Marko Bogoievski commented: “It is clear that there are significant

differences between Infratil’s view of a fair and reasonable offer price and the view of the Tilt

Renewables independent directors. We believe there are a number of areas where the

independent adviser’s assumptions are significantly more favourable than market comparatives,

with material differences in both the expected rates of return on contracted and uncontracted

cash flows, as well as the valuation of the Dundonnell wind farm development.”


“Cumulatively, these assumptions amount to a very optimistic view of the long-term prospects of

Tilt Renewables which, as a long-term development business, is exposed to significant changes

in market conditions as well as regulatory settings and requires ongoing access to equity and

debt financing to realise the value of its development options.”


Infratil will take the opportunity to fully review the Target Company Statement and expects to

respond comprehensively to the statement within the next week.
