Agreement to sell Perth Energy to AGL

Infratil announces the conditional sale of Perth Energy to AGL Energy Limited. The agreement is subject to
satisfaction of a limited number of conditions precedent, with completion targeted before
30 September 2019.

At completion, Infratil expects to receive cash proceeds of approximately A$55.0 million for its 80%
shareholding, with final proceeds adjusted for normal working capital and net debt adjustments. As at
31 March 2019, Infratil’s book value for Perth Energy was NZ$89.3 million with the result that completion of
the sale is currently expected to give rise to a loss on disposal of NZ$33.0 million. Infratil may receive
further sale proceeds of up to A$14.9 million in cash within three years, contingent on financial outcomes
under a material contract and the tax treatment of certain penalty refunds which Perth Energy may become
entitled to claim. The sale completion will also release Infratil from its credit support of Perth Energy,
which as at 31 March 2019 amounted to A$64.7 million.

Morrison & Co executive and Perth Energy chairperson, Roger Crawford, said “We are disappointed to
realise a loss on sale but pleased with the turnaround in Perth Energy over the last two years, driven by a
restructuring of wholesale supply arrangements, the closing out of unprofitable legacy customer contracts,
and a revitalised sales team. This sale enables the Perth Energy business to continue to grow under
AGL’s ownership and allows Infratil to focus its investments on established platforms targeting renewable
energy, data and connectivity, aged care, and airports”.
