The shareholders of Infratil Limited

22 July 2020


Shareholders have already received Infratil’s 2020 Annual Report

in which I, and Marko Bogoievski on behalf of the manager,

Morrison & Co, comment on the activities of Infratil over the past

year and on the future prospects for Infratil.

The Annual Meeting this year will be in Wellington but, given the

ongoing impact of COVID-19, shareholders will have the option

to join the meeting in person or online. A number of matters are

to come before shareholders for voting at the Annual Meeting.

These include:

• The re-election of Marko Bogoievski and Peter Springford

as Directors.

• Authorisation to give the Board the option to exercise Infratil’s

rights under the Management Agreement to issue shares to

Morrison & Co to pay the second instalment of the FY2020

international portfolio annual incentive fee in 2021.

• Authorisation for the Directors to fix the auditor’s

remuneration.

As noted in Infratil’s 2020 Annual Report, Morrison & Co earned

a FY2020 international portfolio annual incentive fee of

$125 million. As a protection against the possibility of the

portfolio of investments subsequently falling in value, the FY2020

incentive fee is payable over three years (in three instalments of

~$41.7 million each) and, if the total value of the portfolio of

investments at either of the subsequent two balance dates is

lower than the 31 March 2020 valuation, that year’s instalment is

cancelled. The Management Agreement gives the Board the

option to pay an instalment of the FY2020 international portfolio

incentive fee in cash or by issuing Infratil ordinary shares to

Morrison & Co (the “scrip option”), or a mixture of both. However,

under the NZX Listing Rules, the Board needs shareholder

approval if it wishes to use the scrip option. The Board has not

made a decision whether to use the scrip option for the second

instalment of the FY2020 incentive fee (if that is payable), but the

Board would like to have this option available if the Board

considers that issuing shares (rather than paying cash) would be

in the best interests of Infratil. If the Board also wishes to have

this option available for the third instalment of the FY2020

incentive fee (if that is payable in 2022), the Board will seek

shareholder approval for this at the 2021 Annual Meeting.

23
There is no resolution this year in relation to directors’ fees, as

shareholders approved an increased directors’ fee pool at the

2019 Annual Meeting to enable directors’ fees to be set

consistent with the 75th percentile of comparator group 2 in the

PwC benchmarking report, but with the increases to directors’

fees expected to be implemented over a three-year period

across the 2020, 2021 and 2022 financial years. The Board has

approved the implementation of the expected increase for the

2021 financial year (so that fees are at the mid-point between

the median and the 75th percentile of that comparator group),

and details of the proposed directors’ fees are set out in

Annexure A. As the increases for both the 2021 and 2022

financial years can be paid from the directors’ fee pool approved

by shareholders at the 2019 Annual Meeting, the Board does not

expect to seek shareholder approval for any further increases to

the directors’ fee pool prior to the 2022 Annual Meeting.

The Notice of Meeting also includes a Disclosure Document

(Annexure B) describing the Share Buyback Programme which

Infratil has decided to continue. The Board considers that, from

time to time, buying back shares may be the best use of Infratil’s

funds. Accordingly, Infratil wishes to keep open that investment

opportunity for the next 12 months, as it has done for a number

of years.

The Infratil Board looks forward to seeing you at the Annual

Meeting, where we will be presenting our results and answering

any questions you may have.


Yours sincerely

Mark Tume

Chairperson

Resolutions 1 & 2: Re-Election of Directors

The Board of Infratil considers that Marko Bogoievski will not

be an Independent Director, and that Peter Springford will be

an Independent Director, for the purposes of the Listing Rules

if re-elected to the Board.

• Marko Bogoievski (BCA, MBA, FCA) – Non-Independent

Director

Marko Bogoievski is Chief Executive of Infratil and its

Manager, Morrison & Co. He joined the Infratil board in

2009. He is Chairperson of Vodafone NZ and a director of

Morrison & Co. He was previously Chief Financial Officer of

Telecom New Zealand and has previously held board roles

with Trustpower, Auckland Airport, Z Energy, Infratil Energy

Australia and Longroad Energy. Mr Bogoievski has an

interest in Morrison & Co, which has the Management

Agreement with Infratil.

• Peter Springford (MBA) – Independent Director

Peter Springford joined the Infratil board in 2016. He is a

director of Zespri and has extensive experience in

managing companies in Australia, New Zealand and Asia,

including five years based in Hong Kong as President of

International Paper (Asia) Limited and four years as Chief

Executive Officer and Managing Director of Carter Holt

Harvey Limited. Mr Springford is a chartered member of the

New Zealand Institute of Directors.

The Board supports the re-election of both Mr Bogoievski and

Mr Springford.

Resolution 3: Share Issue – FY2020 Incentive Fee

The Board is seeking shareholder approval in accordance

with Listing Rules 4.1.1 and 4.2.1 to provide the Board with the

option (the “Scrip Option”) to issue to Morrison & Co such

number of ordinary shares in Infratil (Shares) as is required to

pay the second instalment (or any portion of it) of the FY2020

international portfolio annual incentive fee (the “FY2020

Incentive Fee”).

The Management Agreement between Infratil and Morrison &

Co Infrastructure Management Limited (“Morrison & Co”)

dated 11 February 1994, as amended (Management

Agreement) gives the Board the option to pay incentive fees

in cash or by issuing Shares to Morrison & Co, or a mixture of

both. The Board has not made a decision whether to use the

Scrip Option for the second instalment of the FY2020

Incentive Fee (if that is payable), but the Board would like to

have the Scrip Option available if the Board considers that

to be in the best interests of Infratil.

More information on the Scrip Option and the FY2020

Incentive Fee is set out below.

Incentive Fees under the Management Agreement

The Management Agreement provides for the payment of

incentive fees relating to Non-New Zealand Portfolio

Securities (including Australian Portfolio Securities).

Incentive fees (“International Portfolio Incentive Fees”) are

payable to Morrison & Co on realised or sustained increases

in the value of the portfolio of Non-New Zealand Portfolio

Securities (including Australian Portfolio Securities). The

Management Agreement provides for three different incentive

fees to be payable for performance in excess of a minimum

hurdle of 12% per annum:

• International Portfolio Initial Incentive Fees;

• International Portfolio Annual Incentive Fees; and

• International Portfolio Realised Incentive Fees.

The provisions for the International Portfolio Incentive Fees are

set out in full in the Management Agreement, a copy of which

is available on the Infratil website at www.infratil.com/

about-us/corporate-governance/. These provisions were

approved by Infratil shareholders at the 2002 annual meeting,

and a copy of the Notice of Meeting for the 2002 annual

meeting together with the accompanying appraisal report

prepared by Ernst & Young, is also available on the Infratil

website at www.infratil.com/for-investors/.

FY2020 Incentive Fee

In FY2020, Morrison & Co earned an International Portfolio

Annual Incentive Fee of $125 million pursuant to clause 9.4.3

of the Management Agreement (the “FY2020 Incentive Fee”).

The process under the Management Agreement (with relevant

modifications as agreed between the Board and Morrison &

Co) for determining the FY2020 Incentive Fee was payable,

and for calculating the amount of the FY2020 Incentive Fee,

is summarised below:

• Infratil’s Non-New Zealand Portfolio Securities which have

been owned for more than three years (the “FY2020

International Portfolio Assets”) were valued as at 31 March

2020 by specialist independent valuers. The independent

valuations are undertaken to assess the proceeds Infratil

would receive were it to sell the FY2020 International

Explanatory

Notes

1011
Portfolio Assets, net of all transaction costs and

applicable taxes.

• The independent valuations determined that the FY2020

International Portfolio Assets have delivered a return (in

NZ$) of over 12% per annum, and the $125 million FY2020

Incentive Fee payable to Morrison & Co is equivalent to

20% of the value determined above the 12% return.

• As a protection against the possibility of the FY2020

International Portfolio Assets falling in value, clause 9.4.4 of

the Management Agreement requires the FY2020 Incentive

Fee to be divided into three equal annual instalments of

~$41.7 million each, with payment spread over three years

and the second and third instalments contingent on the

FY2020 International Portfolio Assets not falling in value:

- The first instalment was paid in cash in May 2020

(following finalisation of the 31 March 2020 independent

valuations).

- The FY2020 International Portfolio Assets will be

valued again as at 31 March 2021, using the same

independent valuation process as in FY2020.

The second instalment is only paid if the independent

valuations of the FY2020 International Portfolio Assets

determine that the total value of those assets as at

31 March 2021 is not less than the total value of those

assets as at 31 March 2020. If the total value of the

FY2020 International Portfolio Assets is less (by any

amount), then the second instalment is cancelled

(and will never be payable).

- The FY2020 International Portfolio Assets will be valued

again as at 31 March 2022, using the same

independent valuation process as in 2020 and 2021.

The third instalment is only paid if the independent

valuations of the FY2020 International Portfolio Assets

determine that the total value of those assets as at

31 March 2022 is not less than the total value of those

assets as at 31 March 2020. If the total value of the

FY2020 International Portfolio Assets is less (by any

amount), then the third instalment is cancelled (and will

never be payable).

Scrip Option

Clause 9.6 of the Management Agreement gives the Board

the option to pay an instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee

either in cash or by issuing Shares to Morrison & Co (i.e. the

Scrip Option), or a mixture of both. If the Board uses the

Scrip Option:

• The number of Shares to be issued will be calculated by

dividing the instalment (or the portion of the instalment fee

to be paid by the issue of Shares) by 98% of the volume

weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Shares as traded

on NZX over the 5 business days prior to the issue of the

Shares (“Issue Price”).

• The Shares issued to Morrison & Co will be fully paid

ordinary shares which will rank pari passu with the ordinary

shares then on issue.

• Infratil must elect whether to pay cash or issue Shares

within 7 days of receiving confirmation (by reference to the

valuations of the FY2020 International Portfolio Assets as

at 31 March in the relevant year) that the FY2020 Incentive

Fee instalment is payable. Where Infratil elects

to issue Shares, it must allot the Shares within 12 business

days after receiving confirmation that the FY2020

Incentive Fee instalment is payable.

As noted above, the Board has not made a decision whether

to use the Scrip Option for any or all of the second instalment

of the FY2020 Incentive Fee (if that is payable). If shareholders

approve the use of the Scrip Option, the Board will make a

decision in 2021 whether to use Scrip Option for any or all of

the second instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee when (and

if) the Board is satisfied that the second instalment will be

payable and that, based on the circumstances applying at

the time, the Board considers that using the Scrip Option is in

the best interests of Infratil. There are a range of factors that

will be relevant to this decision (including market conditions,

Infratil’s then current share price, Infratil’s available liquidity

and available growth investments or new opportunities), but

the Board will not provide reasons if the Board does not elect

to use the Scrip Option.

Consequences if the Scrip Option is not approved

If Resolution 3 is not passed, Infratil will be required to pay

the second (2021) instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee of

~$41.7 million in cash, if the independent valuations of the

FY2020 International Portfolio Assets determine that the

total value of those assets as at 31 March 2021 is not less

than the total value of those assets as at 31 March 2020.

It is important for shareholders to note that payment of the

second instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee does not

1213
require shareholder approval – shareholder approval is only

required to allow the Board to use the Scrip Option. The

consequences for payment of the second instalment of the

FY2020 Incentive Fee if the Scrip Option is or is not approved

are summarised below:

• Scrip Option approved by Shareholders: The Board has

three options to pay the second instalment of the FY2020

Incentive Fee (if payable):

- Option A: The second instalment is paid in cash.

- Option B: The second instalment is paid using the Scrip

Option.

- Option C: The second instalment is paid using a mixture

of cash and the Scrip Option.

• Scrip Option not approved by Shareholders: The Board will

pay the second instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee (if

payable) in cash.

If the Scrip Option is approved, the effect on the Company

and Shareholders if the Board does or does not elect to

use the Scrip Option to pay some or all of the second

instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee (if payable) are

also summarised below:

• Scrip Option used: Infratil will issue new ordinary shares

to Morrison & Co at the Issue Price, with the number of

ordinary shares issued equal to the second instalment of

the FY2020 Incentive Fee (or the portion of that for which

the Board elects to use the Scrip Option) divided by the

Issue Price. This issue of ordinary shares to Morrison & Co

will increase the total number of ordinary shares on issue

and therefore will dilute other Infratil shareholders,

although the dilution will not be material. However, the

issue of ordinary shares will also mean that Infratil is not

required to pay cash to Morrison & Co for that amount, so

Infratil’s available liquidity will be higher than if the Scrip

Option had not been used.

As an example, using the closing price of Infratil ordinary

shares on NZX on 10 July 2020 and assuming (a) the total

ordinary shares on issue (excluding treasury stock) is the

same as at 10 July 2020 and (b) the Scrip Option is used

for the full second instalment of the FY2020 Incentive

Fee, then:

- Infratil would issue 8,988,796 ordinary shares to

Morrison & Co.

- This would increase the total ordinary shares on issue

(excluding treasury stock) from 722,952,533 to 731,941,329.

- This would dilute other Infratil shareholders by 1.24%.

• Scrip Option not used: Infratil will pay cash to Morrison &

Co for the second instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee.

This will mean that other Infratil shareholders are not

diluted (because there is no issue of ordinary shares to

Morrison & Co) but Infratil’s available liquidity will be

reduced by the amount of the second instalment.

Waiver of Listing Rule 4.8.5(b) – Requirement for

Appraisal Report

Because Marko Bogoievski is a director of Infratil and Morrison

& Co, Morrison & Co is an “Associated Person” of Infratil.

Listing Rule 4.8.5(b) requires that a notice of meeting to

consider a resolution to approve the issue of shares where

more than 50% of the Shares are to be issued are likely to be

acquired by Directors or Associated Persons of Directors must

be accompanied by an Appraisal Report.

NZX Regulation ('NZXR') has granted Infratil a waiver from

Listing Rule 7.8.5(b) which would otherwise require Infratil to

prepare an Appraisal Report to accompany any Notice of

Meeting at which Shareholders will consider and vote on,

an Ordinary Resolution in accordance with Listing Rule 4.1.1

and Listing Rule 4.2.1, to approve a proposal for the issue of

Infratil ordinary shares to Morrison & Co by way of satisfaction

of Infratil’s contractual obligation to pay incentive fees to

Morrison & Co in accordance with the prescribed payment

mechanisms set out in the Management Agreement.

This waiver applies to Resolution 3, and a copy of the waiver

decision is available on the Infratil website at https://infratil.

com/for-investors/announcements/.

The waiver has been granted on the conditions that:

• The relevant Notice of Meeting must otherwise comply with

Listing Rules 7.8.2 and 7.8.4.

• The relevant issue of Shares, if approved by Shareholders

by Ordinary Resolution, and if the Board approves the

issue of Shares, must be made within the date that is

12 months following the date of the relevant Ordinary

Resolution approving the issue of Shares.

• The waiver, its conditions and its implications are disclosed

in the Notice of Meeting.

1415
• The 2002 Notice of Meeting and appraisal report is

available for Infratil shareholders to review on the first

occasion that Infratil relies on this waiver.

The reasons for the waiver are set out in the waiver decision

and are repeated below:

• The policy behind Listing Rule 7.8.5(b) is to ensure that

security holders have the benefit of an independent

assessment of the benefits and risks of a proposed

transaction, to enable security holders to make a fully

informed decision about whether to approve the

transaction.

• Infratil has submitted, and NZXR has no reason not to

accept, that an Appraisal Report in relation to a proposed

issue of shares to Morrison & Co in payment of an Incentive

Fee payable under the terms of the Management

Agreement between Infratil and Morrison & Co would not

provide Infratil shareholders with any significant benefit or

additional information on which to make an informed

decision on whether to approve the issue of shares to

Morrison & Co in payment of the Incentive Fee because

shareholders have already approved the contractual

arrangements under the Management Agreement that

give rise to the obligation for Infratil to pay Morrison & Co

incentive fees either in cash, or in shares, when certain

prescribed performance hurdles have been met.

• An Appraisal Report was provided to Shareholders in 2002

at the time the contractual arrangements under the

Management Agreement giving rise to the obligation for

Infratil to pay incentive fees were considered and

approved by shareholders.

• The calculation of the price payable for Shares to be

issued by Infratil to Morrison & Co in payment of any

incentive fee is fixed in the Management Agreement

between Infratil and Morrison & Co which has been

approved by Infratil shareholders.

• Infratil has submitted, and NZXR has no reason not to

accept, that a further Appraisal Report in respect of a

proposal to issue Shares to Morrison & Co in payment of an

incentive fee or an instalment of an incentive fee would not

provide Shareholders with any additional meaningful

information in relation to the proposal to issue Shares to

Morrison & Co as permitted under the terms of the

Management Agreement between them, beyond the

information that they have already been provided, and the

further information that will be set out in, or accompany,

the Notice of Meeting in compliance with Listing Rules 7.8.2

and 7.8.4.

The implications for Shareholders of the waiver are that no

independent appraisal report is provided in respect of the

Scrip Option. Shareholders must consider the information set

out or referred to in this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory

Notes to reach an informed opinion as to whether to approve

the Scrip Option. In particular, Shareholders should consider

the following:

• The International Investment Portfolio incentive fee

structure, including the formula for calculating the Issue

Price of Shares to be issued in payment of any incentive

fees, were approved by Shareholders at the annual

meeting in 2002.

• The Appraisal Report provided with the 2002 Notice of

Meeting included a detailed analysis of the incentive fee

structure, and concluded that the fee arrangement for

the International Investment Portfolio is reflective of an

arms-length negotiation having regard to a number of

matters, and the Management Agreement changes,

including the incentive fees, are fair to the non-associated

Infratil shareholders.

• Infratil is contractually bound to pay the FY2020 Incentive

Fee instalments to Morrison & Co either by cash or by the

issue of Shares if the total value of the FY2020 International

Portfolio Assets is sustained over the relevant period.

• If the independent valuations of the FY2020 International

Portfolio Assets determine that the total value of those

assets as at 31 March 2021 is not less than the total value

of those assets as at 31 March 2020, Infratil will be required

to pay the second (2021) instalment of the FY2020

Incentive Fee of ~$41.7 million.

• If the Scrip Option is approved by Shareholders, the Board

has three options to pay the second instalment of the

FY2020 Incentive Fee (if payable):

- Option A: The second instalment is paid in cash.

- Option B: The second instalment is paid using the

Scrip Option.

- Option C: The second instalment is paid using a mixture

of cash and the Scrip Option.

1617
• If the Scrip Option is not approved by Shareholders, the

Board will pay the second instalment of the FY2020

Incentive Fee (if payable) in cash.

• If the Directors resolve to use the Scrip Option (if approved

by an Ordinary Resolution of Shareholders) the Directors

must be satisfied that the issue of Shares is fair and

reasonable to Infratil and to all existing Shareholders.

Resolution 4: Auditor’s Remuneration

KPMG is automatically reappointed as auditor under section

207T of the Companies Act 1993. This resolution authorises the

Board to fix the fees and expenses of the auditor.

Particulars of the Share Buyback Programme

For many years, Infratil has maintained a Share Buyback

Programme. This programme has been successful in creating

shareholder value and it is proposed that Infratil continue it.

The Share Buyback Programme needs to comply with the

Listing Rules. The Share Buyback Programme will be

undertaken in accordance with Listing Rule 4.14, and the

primary intent is that shares be bought back as permitted by

Listing Rules 4.14.1(a) and 4.14.1(b)(ii) and the applicable

provisions of the Companies Act 1993. This allows Infratil to

make any offer pursuant to the procedures detailed in Section

60(1)(b)(ii) of the Companies Act 1993, or through NZX's order

matching market, or through the order matching market of a

‘Recognised Stock Exchange’ (as defined in the Listing Rules)

and in compliance with Section 63 of the Companies Act 1993.

Infratil notifies shareholders that, in accordance with Sections

60(1)(b)(ii) or 63 of the Companies Act 1993, Infratil may

acquire up to a further 20,000,000 ordinary shares

(approximately 2.8% of the outstanding ordinary shares,

excluding treasury stock). These shares may be bought

on-market or off-market, but the combined total of further

on-market and off-market purchases will not exceed

20,000,000 ordinary shares. Off-market purchases will not be

made from employees or directors of Infratil or associated

persons of directors.

Infratil is not committing to buy shares and a decision as to

any purchases will be made from time to time having regard

to market conditions. No maximum price is specified for shares

bought on-market, but Infratil will always disclose the number

of shares, and the price at which it bought them, whether

on-market or off-market, before 9:30 am on the business day

following the purchase being made.

Whether the purchases are on-market or off-market, the

directors will regularly reassess the situation and seek to

purchase shares at prices that in their view represent the best

value for shareholders.

The directors believe that, depending on market conditions

and Infratil’s then current share price, having the Share

Buyback Programme in place is a positive way of improving

shareholder value and is fair to Infratil and all shareholders.

The disclosure document required under the Companies Act

1993 is attached as Annexure B.

Annexure A: Directors’ Remuneration

The Board reviews directors’ fees annually to ensure that fees

do not fall out of step with the market, reflect the commitment

required of an Infratil director, and ensure that Infratil

continues to attract high quality director candidates. In 2019,

the Board engaged PwC to undertake a benchmarking

exercise in order to assess the appropriateness of directors’

fees paid to Infratil directors. Infratil operates in several

significant sectors and has investments across four

geographies, which sets the framework for seeking to attain

shareholder returns targeted by Infratil but also increases the

complexity of matters for consideration by the Infratil board.

As a result of that exercise undertaken by PwC, the Board in

2019 considered that in recognition of the complexity of

Infratil’s activities together with the time commitment required

of an Infratil director, it should be targeting director

remuneration at the 75th percentile of comparator group 2

in the PwC benchmarking report.

At the 2019 annual meeting, shareholders approved an

increase in the quantum of fees paid to all Directors (in their

capacity as a director of Infratil and certain of its subsidiaries)

to $1,329,375 per annum (plus GST or VAT, as appropriate).

This increase to the directors’ fee pool was to enable

directors’ fees to be set consistent with the 75th percentile

of comparator group 2 in the PwC benchmarking report,

but with the increases to directors’ fees expected to be

implemented over a three-year period across the 2020, 2021

and 2022 financial years (and the Board does not expect to

seek shareholder approval for any further increases to the

Directors’ Fee Pool prior to the 2022 annual meeting):

• For the year to 31 March 2020, Directors’ fees were set so

that they were consistent with the median of fees payable

in that comparator group.

1819
• For the year to 31 March 2021, Directors’ fees would be

expected to be increased so that they are at the mid-

point between the median and the 75th percentile of that

comparator group.

• For the year to 31 March 2022, Directors’ fees would be

expected to be increased so that they are at the 75th

percentile of that comparator group.

The Board continues to consider that Infratil should be

targeting director remuneration at the 75th percentile of

comparator group 2 in the PwC benchmarking report. The

reasons for this, noted in the first paragraph of this Annexure,

continue to apply.


The Board therefore considers it appropriate to implement

the expected increase to Directors’ fees for the 2021

financial year.

The directors’ fee pool may be divided among Directors in

their capacities as directors of Infratil and certain of its

subsidiaries as the Board deems appropriate, and the fee

structure for the 2021 financial year (together with the initial

fee structure set for the 2020 financial year) is set out below.

As noted in the 2020 Annual Report, Mr Bogoievski was paid

fees in his capacity as a Director for the year ended 31 March

2020, but will not be paid fees in his capacity as a Director

from 1 April 2020. Mr Bogoievski receives no remuneration from

Infratil for his role as Chief Executive, his remuneration as Chief

Executive is paid by Morrison & Co.

The above amounts exclude any directors’ fees paid to any

Director as a director of Trustpower Limited or Tilt Renewables

Limited (although, as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, no

Director is also serving as a director of either of those

companies). Although both Trustpower and Tilt Renewables

are subsidiaries of Infratil, both are also separately listed on

the NZX Main Board. Accordingly, if in future any Director is

also a director of Trustpower or Tilt Renewables, Listing Rule

2.11.1 requires any directors’ fees paid to that Director in that

capacity to be approved by the shareholders of Trustpower or

Tilt Renewables (as applicable), but does not require those

fees to be approved by shareholders in Infratil (and they do

not get deducted from the fee pool above).

Annexure B: Companies Act Disclosure

Document for Share Buyback Programme

In the 2019 Notice of Meeting Infratil advised shareholders of

its intention to continue its Share Buyback Programme,

reserving the right to acquire up to 20,000,000 of Infratil’s

ordinary shares on issue. The maximum price of shares that

could be bought off-market was $5.00 per share, and no

maximum price was specified for shares bought on-market.

Infratil has acquired 887,617 ordinary shares under the Share

Buyback Programme since the 2019 Notice of Meeting.

It is considered appropriate for Infratil to continue the Share

Buyback Programme and reserve the right to buy back up to

20,000,000 of Infratil’s ordinary shares on issue. This would

represent approximately 2.8% of the outstanding ordinary

shares, excluding treasury stock. These shares may be bought

on-market or off-market, but the combined total of further

on-market and off-market purchases may not exceed

20,000,000 ordinary shares. Off-market purchases may also

not be made from employees or directors of Infratil or

associated persons of directors.

This Disclosure Document sets out the information that the

Companies Act 1993 requires be provided to shareholders

annually while a Share Buyback Programme continues.

Terms of the Offer

On-market Buyback – Section 63 of the Companies Act 1993

• Infratil may make one or more offers on the NZX Main

Board market to all shareholders to acquire up to

20,000,000 ordinary shares in Infratil, pursuant to section

63 of the Companies Act 1993.

• Offers may be made between 20 August 2020 and

22 July 2021.

• Infratil will pay the prevailing market price for the shares at

the time of purchase. Infratil is not obliged to make offers

and reserves the right to cease doing so at any time.

Off-market Buyback – Section 60(1)(b)(ii) of the Companies

Act 1993

• Infratil may make offers to one or more shareholders to

acquire up to 20,000,000 ordinary shares in Infratil,

pursuant to Section 60(1)(b)(ii) of the Companies Act 1993.

• Offers may be made between 20 August 2020 and

22 July 2021.

• Infratil will pay the prevailing market price for the shares at

the time of purchase. Infratil is not obliged to make offers

and reserves the right to cease doing so at any time.

• Buybacks made in compliance with Section 60(1)(b)(ii) of

the Companies Act 1993 will not be made from any person

who is a Director, Associated Person of a Director or an

Employee (as those terms are defined in the Listing Rules)

of Infratil and will not exceed 15% of the shares on issue at

20 August 2020.

Other Information Applicable to Both On-market and

Off-market Buybacks

• Infratil will not purchase any shares while it possesses

any information that is materially price-sensitive but

not publicly available. If Infratil has price sensitive

information, it will cease acquiring shares until the

information is publicly disclosed or ceases to be

materially price sensitive.

• Infratil may hold up to 5% of its shares as Treasury Stock.

Treasury Stock comprises shares acquired and held by

Infratil in itself and which would otherwise be cancelled on

acquisition. Subject to certain restrictions, Treasury Stock

can be transferred, re-issued or cancelled by Infratil.

• All on-market offers will be designed so that the proceeds

of sales will not be taxable as dividends whilst off-market

offers may be taxable as dividends, and imputation credits

will not be attached to the proceeds. Shareholders who

have special tax status, as a result, for example, of trading

securities professionally, should consult their tax advisers.

2223
Resolutions

To initiate the proposed offer the Board unanimously resolved

on 1 July 2020, amongst other things:

(i) To continue the previously notified Share Buyback

Programme, and reserve the right to make one or more

offers on the NZX market to all shareholders to acquire up

to 20,000,000 ordinary shares in Infratil pursuant to

Section 60(1)(b)(ii) (off-market buyback) and Section 63

(on-market buyback) of the Companies Act 1993 (the Act)

in the period between 20 August 2020 and 22 July 2021.

(ii) To pay the prevailing market price for the shares at the

time of purchase.

(iii) That in respect of any offer made pursuant to

Section 60(1)(b)(ii):

- The acquisition is in the best interests of Infratil;

- The acquisition is of benefit to the remaining

shareholders;

- The terms of the offer and the consideration offered

for the shares are fair and reasonable to Infratil; and

- The terms of the offer and the consideration offered

for the shares are fair and reasonable to the remaining

shareholders.

(iv) That in respect of an offer made pursuant to Section 63:

- The acquisition is in the best interests of Infratil and its

shareholders; and

- The terms of the offer and the consideration offered

for the shares are fair and reasonable to Infratil and

its shareholders.

(v) That, for the purposes of buybacks effected under

Resolution (iii) or (iv), the Directors are not aware of any

information that will not be disclosed to Infratil's

shareholders:

- that is material to an assessment of the value of the

shares; and

- as a result of which the terms of the offer and

consideration offered for the shares are unfair to the

shareholders accepting the offer.

(vi) That the reasons for the Directors’ conclusions in the

Resolutions (iii), (iv) and (v) are:

- to maximise shareholder value, and acquiring shares

may be considered by the Board (taking into account

prevailing circumstances) to be an efficient use of

capital; and

- shareholders have total discretion to choose whether to

participate in the buyback. There is no pressure to sell

to Infratil; and

- Infratil has in place reviews and procedures to ensure

that it does not acquire shares during the period when

material price sensitive information is known to Infratil

but is not available to shareholders.

(vii) That the Board is satisfied that Infratil will, immediately

after acquiring the shares, satisfy the solvency test

applied under Section 52 of the Companies Act 1993.

(viii) That Marko Bogoievski, Mark Flesher, Phillippa Harford and

Jason Boyes of Morrison & Co Infrastructure Management

Limited (each acting alone) are hereby authorised to sign

such documents and do such other things as may be

necessary or appropriate to complete the buyback.

(ix) That until Infratil holds shares in itself equating to 5% of

the total number of shares on issue, such shares need

not be cancelled but may be held as Treasury Stock by

Infratil itself.
