The shareholders of Infratil Limited
21 July 2021


Shareholders have already received Infratil’s 2021 Annual

Report in which I, and Jason Boyes on behalf of the manager,

Morrison & Co, commented 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

shareholders will also have the option to join the meeting

online. A number of matters are to come before shareholders

for voting at the Annual Meeting. These include:

• The re-election of myself and Paul Gough, and the election

of Jason Boyes, 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 third instalment of the FY2020 international portfolio

annual incentive fee in 2022; and

- the second instalment of the FY2021 international

portfolio annual incentive fee in 2022.

• Authorisation for the Directors to fix the auditor’s

remuneration.

As noted in Infratil’s 2021 Annual Report, Morrison & Co

earned a FY2021 international portfolio annual incentive fee

of $223.1 million. As a protection against the possibility of the

portfolio of investments subsequently falling in value, the

FY2021 incentive fee is payable over three years (in three

instalments of ~$74.4 million each) and, if the value of the

portfolio at either of the subsequent two balance dates is

lower than the 31 March 2021 valuation, that year’s instalment

is cancelled.

The FY2021 international portfolio annual incentive fee follows

the FY2020 international portfolio annual incentive fee of

$125 million (payable in 3 instalments of ~$41.7 million each)

noted in Infratil’s 2020 Annual Report.

The Management Agreement gives the Board the option to

pay any instalment of an 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 third

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

the second instalment of the FY2021 international portfolio

annual incentive fee (if that is payable), but the Board would

like to have both options available if the Board considers that

1

2
issuing shares (rather than paying cash) would be in the best

interests of Infratil. At the 2020 Annual Meeting, shareholders

approved the use of the scrip option in connection with the

second instalment of the FY2020 international portfolio

annual incentive fee however the Board subsequently

determined that the instalment should be paid in cash.

If the Board also wishes to have this option available for the

third instalment of the FY2021 international portfolio annual

incentive fee (payable in 2023), the Board will seek

shareholder approval for this at the 2022 Annual Meeting.

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 2022 financial year (so that fees are at the

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

directors’ fees were set out in the 2021 Annual Report. As the

increases for the 2022 financial year 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 A) 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.

I look forward to seeing you at the Annual Meeting, presenting

our results and answering any questions you may have.

Yours sincerely

Mark Tume

Chairman

Resolutions 4 & 5: Share Issue – FY2020
Incentive Fee and FY2021 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 following options:

• The option (2020 Scrip Option) to issue to Morrison & Co

such number of ordinary shares in Infratil (Shares) as is

required to pay the third instalment (or any portion of it)

of the FY2020 international portfolio annual incentive fee

(FY2020 Incentive Fee).

• The option (2021 Scrip Option) to issue to Morrison & Co

such number of Shares as is required to pay the second

instalment (or any portion of it) of the FY2021 international

portfolio annual incentive fee (FY2021 Incentive Fee).

The Management Agreement between Infratil and Morrison &

Co Infrastructure Management Limited 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 2020 Scrip Option for the third

instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee (if that is payable) or

the 2021 Scrip Option for the second instalment of the FY2021

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

have both options available if the Board considers that to be

in the best interests of Infratil.

More information on the 2020 Scrip Option, the 2021 Scrip

Option, the FY2020 Incentive Fee and the FY2021 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.

8

The provisions for the International Portfolio Incentive Fees
(together with the definitions of “Non-New Zealand Portfolio

Securities” and “Australian Portfolio Securities”) are set out in

full in the Management Agreement, a copy of which is

available on the Infratil website at https://infratil.com/

about-us/corporate-governance/.

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 (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 (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

Portfolio Assets, net of all transaction costs and applicable

taxes.

• The independent valuations determined that the FY2020

International Portfolio Assets has 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 second instalment was paid in cash in April 2021

(following finalisation of the 31 March 2021 independent

valuations).

- 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.

9

The third instalment is only paid if the independent
valuations of the FY2020 International Portfolio

Assets determines that the value of those assets as

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

assets as at 31 March 2020. If the value of the FY2020

International Portfolio Assets is less (by any amount),

then the third instalment is cancelled (and will never

be payable).

More information regarding the FY2020 Incentive Fee can be

found in Infratil’s 2020 Results Announcement (available on

the Infratil website at https://infratil.com/for-investors/

company-results/) and 2020 Annual Report (available on the

Infratil website at https://infratil.com/for-investors/reports/).

FY2021 Incentive Fee

In FY2021, Morrison & Co earned an International Portfolio

Annual Incentive Fee of $223.1 million pursuant to clause 9.4.3

of the Management Agreement (FY2021 Incentive Fee). The

process under the Management Agreement (with relevant

modifications as agreed between the Board and Morrison &

Co) for determining the FY2021 Incentive Fee was payable,

and for calculating the amount of the FY2021 Incentive Fee,

is summarised below:

• Infratil’s Non-New Zealand Portfolio Securities which

have been owned for more than three years (the “FY2021

International Portfolio Assets”) were valued as at 31 March

2021 by specialist independent valuers. The independent

valuations are undertaken to assess the proceeds Infratil

would receive were it to sell the FY2021 International

Portfolio Assets, net of all transaction costs and applicable

taxes.

• The independent valuations determined that the FY2021

International Portfolio Assets has delivered a return (in NZ$)

of over 12% per annum, and the $223.1 million FY2021

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 FY2021

International Portfolio Assets falling in value, clause 9.4.4 of

the Management Agreement requires the FY2021 Incentive

Fee to be divided into three equal annual instalments of

~$74.4 million each, with payment spread over three years

and the second and third instalments contingent on the

FY2021 International Portfolio Assets not falling in value:

- The first instalment was paid in cash in May 2021

(following finalisation of the 31 March 2021 independent

valuations).

10

- The FY2021 International Portfolio Assets will be
valued again as at 31 March 2022, using the same

independent valuation process as in 2021. The second

instalment is only paid if the independent valuations

of the FY2021 International Portfolio Assets determines

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 2021. If the value of the FY2021 International

Portfolio Assets is less (by any amount), then the second

instalment is cancelled (and will never be payable).

- The FY2021 International Portfolio Assets will be

valued again as at 31 March 2023, using the same

independent valuation process as in 2021 and 2022.

The third instalment is only paid if the independent

valuations of the FY2021 International Portfolio Assets

determines that the value of those assets as at

31 March 2023 is not less than the value of those

assets as at 31 March 2021. If the value of the FY2021

International Portfolio Assets is less (by any amount),

then the third instalment is cancelled (and will never

be payable).

More information regarding the FY2021 Incentive Fee can be

found in Infratil’s 2021 Results Announcement (available on

the Infratil website at https://infratil.com/for-investors/

company-results/) and 2021 Annual Report (available on the

Infratil website at https://infratil.com/for-investors/reports/).

Scrip Option

Clause 9.6 of the Management Agreement gives the Board

the option to pay any instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee

or the FY2021 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 or

the FY2021 International Portfolio Assets as at 31 March in

11

the relevant year) that the FY2020 Incentive Fee or FY2021
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 or FY2021 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 either the third

instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee (if that is payable) or

the second instalment of the FY2021 Incentive Fee (if that is

payable). If shareholders approve the use of the Scrip Option,

the Board will make a decision in 2022 whether to use Scrip

Option for any or all of the second instalment of the FY2020

Incentive Fee or the FY2021 Incentive Fee when (and if) the

Board is satisfied that the relevant 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 Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, Infratil will be required

to pay each of the third instalment of the FY2020 Incentive

Fee of ~$41.7 million, and the second instalment of the FY2021

Incentive Fee of ~$74.4 million in cash, if the independent

applicable valuations of the FY2020 International Portfolio

Assets or the FY2021 International Portfolio Assets determine

that:

• in the case of the FY2020 International Portfolio Assets, the

value of those assets as at 31 March 2022 is not less than

the value of those assets as at 31 March 2020; or

• in the case of the FY2021 International Portfolio Assets, the

value of those assets as at 31 March 2022 is not less than

the value of those assets as at 31 March 2021.

It is important for shareholders to note that payment of either

of the third instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee or the

second instalment of the FY2021 Incentive Fee does not

require shareholder approval – shareholder approval is only

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

consequences for payment of the third instalment of the

FY2020 Incentive Fee and the second instalment of the

12

FY2021 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 third instalment of the FY2020

Incentive Fee (if payable) and/or the second instalment

of the FY2021 Incentive Fee (if payable):

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

- Option B: The relevant instalment is paid using the

Scrip Option.

- Option C: The relevant instalment is paid using a

mixture of cash and the Scrip Option.

• Scrip Option for either or both of the instalments not

approved by Shareholders: The Board will pay the third

instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee (if payable) and/or

the second instalment of the FY2021 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 third instalment of the FY2020

Incentive Fee (if payable) or the second instalment of the FY2021

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 numbers of

ordinary shares issued equal to the third instalment of the

FY2020 Incentive Fee or the second instalment of the

FY2021 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 8 July 2021 and assuming (a) the total

ordinary shares on issue (excluding treasury stock) is the

same as at 8 July 2021 and (b) the Scrip Option is used for

the full third instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee, then:

- Infratil would issue 5,521,689 ordinary shares to

Morrison & Co.

- This would increase the total ordinary shares on issue

(excluding treasury stock) from 722,952,533 to 728,474,222.

- This would dilute other Infratil shareholders by 0.76%.

13

• Scrip Option not used: Infratil will pay cash to
Morrison & Co for the third instalment of the FY2020

Incentive Fee and the second instalment of the FY2021

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 relevant instalment.

Waiver of Listing Rule 7.8.5(b) – Requirement for

Appraisal Report

Because Jason Boyes is a director of Infratil and Morrison &

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

Rule 7.8.5(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 Limited 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 Resolutions 4 and 5, 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; and

• 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.

14

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 incentive fee

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

of Shares if the value of the international investments

portfolio is sustained over the relevant period.

• If the independent valuations of (relevantly) the FY2020

International Portfolio Assets and the FY2021 International

Portfolio Assets determine that:

- in the case of the FY2020 International Portfolio Assets,

the value of those assets as at 31 March 2022 is not less

than the value of those assets as at 31 March 2020; or

- in the case of the FY2021 International Portfolio Assets,

the value of those assets as at 31 March 2022 is not less

than the value of those assets as at 31 March 2021,

Infratil will be required to pay one or both of the third

instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee of ~$41.7 million

and the second instalment of the FY2021 Incentive Fee of

~$74.4 million.

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

has three options to pay each of the third instalment of the

FY2020 Incentive Fee (if payable) and the second

instalment of the FY2021 Incentive Fee (if payable):

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

- Option B: The relevant instalment is paid using the

Scrip Option.

15

- Option C: The relevant instalment is paid using a
mixture of cash and the Scrip Option.

• If the Scrip Option for either or both of the instalments is

not approved by Shareholders, the Board will pay the third

instalment of the FY2020 Incentive Fee (if payable) and/or

the second instalment of the FY2021 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 5: 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 2.77% 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. Infratil will always disclose the number of

16

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 A.

Annexure A: Companies Act Disclosure

Document for Share Buyback Programme

In the 2020 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. Infratil has not acquired any ordinary

shares under the Share Buyback Programme since the 2020

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 2.77% 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 19 August 2021 and

21 July 2022.

17

• 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 19 August 2021 and

21 July 2022.

• 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 as

at the date which precedes the date of the relevant

buyback by 12 months.

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 intends to hold up to 5% of its shares as Treasury

Stock, from those shares first acquired. 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.

18

Resolutions
To initiate the proposed offer the Board unanimously resolved

on 30 June 2021, amongst other things:

1. 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 (Act) in

the period between 19 August 2021 and 21 July 2022.

2. To pay the prevailing market price for the shares at the

time of purchase.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. That, for the purposes of buybacks effected under

Resolution 3 or 4, 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.

19

20
6. That the reasons for the Directors’ conclusions in the

Resolutions 3, 4 and 5 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.

7. 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.

8. That Jason Boyes, Phillippa Harford and Mark Flesher 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.

9. 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.
