Infratil successfully completes Placement and Institutional Entitlement Offer
Infratil Limited (“Infratil”) is pleased to advise that it has successfully completed the fully
underwritten institutional placement ("Placement") and the institutional entitlement offer
component (“Institutional Entitlement Offer”) of its underwritten 1 for 7.46 accelerated
pro-rata entitlement offer (“Offer”) of new fully paid ordinary shares in Infratil (together with
the new shares offered under the Placement, the “New Shares”) as announced on Friday
17 May 2019. A total of approximately NZ$400 million will be raised under the Placement
and the Offer. These proceeds will be used to support the acquisition of Vodafone New
Zealand Limited (the "Acquisition").
Placement
The Placement was strongly supported by a broad range of existing and new institutional
investors across New Zealand, Australia and offshore as well as broker firm clients, raising
NZ$100 million at a price of NZ$4.00 per New Share.
Institutional Entitlement Offer and Bookbuild
The Institutional Entitlement Offer raised gross proceeds of approximately NZ$118 million.
Infratil received strong support from existing institutional shareholders with Eligible
Institutional Shareholders electing to take up approximately 94% of their entitlements under
the Institutional Entitlement Offer.
A bookbuild for entitlements not taken up under the Institutional Entitlement Offer was
conducted on Monday, 20 May 2019 and Tuesday, 21 May 2019 ("Institutional
Bookbuild"). The Institutional Bookbuild of approximately 1.7 million entitlements was well
supported, with all shortfall entitlements allocated and a clearing price of NZ$4.35 per share
achieved.
The clearing price of NZ$4.35 represents a premium of NZ$0.35 per share (8.7%) over the
Offer Price of NZ$4.00, and a discount of NZ$0.05 per share (1.1%) to the theoretical ex-
rights price of NZ$4.40. Eligible institutional shareholders who elected not to take up their
entitlements and ineligible institutional shareholders will receive NZ$0.35 for each
entitlement not taken up by them (less any applicable taxes).
Amounts payable to eligible institutional shareholders who did not take up their full
entitlement or ineligible institutional shareholders with nominated Australian dollar bank
accounts will be converted from New Zealand dollars by the Registrar at the prevailing
exchange rate for buying Australian dollars using New Zealand dollars at the time of
Infratil Limited | www.infratil.com | info@infratil.com | ARBN 144 728 307
payment. That exchange rate may be different to the exchange rate used to set the
Australian dollar Offer Price.
Announcement of A$ Offer Price
The Australian dollar price has been set at A$3.78. The Australian dollar Offer Price was
determined using the RBNZ AUD/NZD exchange rate at 3.00pm (NZ time) / 1.00pm
(Sydney time) on Tuesday, 21 May 2019.
Retail entitlement offer
Eligible retail shareholders will be invited to participate in the retail entitlement offer
component of the Offer (“Retail Entitlement Offer”). The Retail Entitlement Offer will open
at 10.00am (NZ time) / 8.00am (Sydney time) on Thursday, 23 May 2019 and close at
7.00pm (NZ time) / 5.00pm (Sydney time) on Tuesday, 11 June 2019. Eligible retail
shareholders will have the opportunity to participate at the same offer price and offer ratio
as the Institutional Entitlement Offer. Eligible retail shareholders can choose to take up their
entitlement (“Retail Entitlements”) in whole, in part or not at all. Retail Entitlements cannot
be traded or sold on the NZX or ASX.
An Offer Document (accompanied by a personalised entitlement and acceptance form) will
be sent to Eligible Retail Shareholders on Thursday, 23 May 2019.
Retail Entitlements not taken up by eligible retail shareholders under the Retail Entitlement
Offer, and those which would otherwise have been offered to ineligible retail shareholders,
will be offered for subscription through a retail shortfall bookbuild (“Retail Bookbuild”)
scheduled for Thursday, 13 June 2019.
Any proceeds achieved above the Offer Price from the sale of Retail Entitlements in the
Retail Bookbuild will be paid (less applicable taxes) on a pro-rata basis to those eligible
retail shareholders who do not take up their Retail Entitlements in full and those retail
shareholders who were ineligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer. There is no
guarantee that any amount will be raised for the sale of Retail Entitlements through the
Retail Bookbuild.
Further information and shareholder enquiries
Shareholders who have any questions about the Offer are encouraged to read the Offer
Document and consult their broker, solicitor, accountant, financial adviser or other
professional adviser.
