•Net debt has increased due to increased inventory and FY21 arbitration

costs paid in HY22. Debt/EBITDAF is lower due to higher expected

S&P Global Ratings make a number of adjustments to Net Debt and EBITDAF for the purpose of

Non-GAAP Measures

EBITDAF (Earnings before net finance expense, income tax, depreciation, depletion, amortisation, impairment, fair value changes,

and other gains and losses) is a non GAAP (generally accepted accounting practice) financial measure. It is commonly used within

the electricity industry (including internally by Genesis' management) as a measure of performance as it shows the level of earnings

before impact of gearing levels and non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortisation. It may be useful to investors for these

reasons. The EBITDAF shown in Genesis' financial statements (and used in this Presentation) has been audited for June balance

dates and reviewed by the external auditor for half year numbers. Genesis' financial statements (available at

www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investors/reports-and-presentations) include a reconciliation to net profit after tax.

Use of Green Bond ProceedsIn accordance with Genesis' Sustainable Finance Framework dated

criteria set out in the Sustainable Finance Framework (Eligible Assets).

Consistent with this, Genesis will apply the net proceeds of this offer to

- maintain a balance of Eligible Assets that have an aggregate book

value which is at least equal to the aggregate proceeds of all its

outstanding green bonds and/or green loans (including the Green

In accordance with the Sustainable Finance Framework, Genesis has

processes in place to identify and evaluate its Eligible Assets and manage

the allocation of the proceeds of the Green Bonds in accordance with

the Green Bond Principles published by the International Capital Market

Association (ICMA) and dated June 2021 (Green Bond Principles).

DNV Business Assurance Australia Pty Ltd has provided a second party

opinion on the alignment of the Sustainable Finance Framework, the

GNE030 Bonds and the existing Eligible Assets (based on valuations as

at 30 June 2021) to the Green Bond Principles, as well as alignment to

the Climate Transition Finance Handbook 2020, as published by ICMA.

A copy of that second party opinion is available on Genesis’ website

at www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investors/reports-and-presentations.

At least once post-issuance of the Green Bonds (or annually if Genesis

deems necessary), Genesis intends to seek an external review from an

independent and recognised sustainable finance verifier of any update

report issued by Genesis regarding alignment of the Green Bonds with the

Green Bond Principles and the Sustainable Finance Framework.

Australia

No prospectus or other disclosure document (as defined

in the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia (Corporations

Act)) in relation to the Green Bonds has been, or will be,

lodged with, or registered by, the Australian Securities

and Investments Commission (ASIC) or any other

regulatory authority in Australia. No person may:

(a) make or invite (directly or indirectly) an offer of the

Green Bonds for issue, sale or purchase in, to or

from Australia (including an offer or invitation

which is received by a person in Australia); and

(b) distribute or publish, any Terms Sheet, information

memorandum, prospectus or any other offering

material or advertisement relating to the Green

Bonds in Australia,

unless:

(i) the aggregate consideration payable by each

offeree or invitee is at least A$500,000 (or its

equivalent in an alternative currency and, in either

case, disregarding moneys lent by the offeror or its

associates) or the offer or invitation otherwise does

not require disclosure to investors in accordance

with Part 6D.2 or Part 7.9 of the Corporations Act;

(ii) the offer or invitation is not made to a person who

is a “retail client” within the meaning of section

761G of the Corporations Act;

(iii) such action complies with all applicable laws,

regulations and directives; and

(iv) such action does not require any document to be

lodged with ASIC or any other regulatory authority

in Australia.

By applying for the Green Bonds under this Terms Sheet,

each person to whom the Green Bonds are issued (an

Investor):

(a) will be deemed by Genesis and each Joint Lead

Manager to have acknowledged that if any Investor

on-sells the Green Bonds within 12 months from

their issue, the Investor will be required to lodge

a prospectus or other disclosure document (as

defined in the Corporations Act) with ASIC

unless either:

(i) that sale is to an investor within one of the

categories set out in sections 708(8) or 708(11)

of the Corporations Act to whom it is lawful to

offer the Green Bonds in Australia without a

prospectus or other disclosure document

lodged with ASIC; or

(ii) the sale offer is received outside Australia; and

(b) will be deemed by Genesis and each Joint Lead

Manager to have undertaken not to sell those

Green Bonds in any circumstances other than those

described in paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above for

12 months after the date of issue of such Green

Bonds.

This Terms Sheet is not, and under no circumstances is

to be construed as, an advertisement or public offering

of any Green Bonds in Australia.

Part B – General Selling
Restrictions

Genesis has not and will not take any action which

would permit a public offering of the Green Bonds, or

possession or distribution of any offering material, in any

country or jurisdiction where action for that purpose is

required (other than New Zealand). The Green Bonds

may only be offered for sale or sold in compliance with

all applicable laws and regulations in any jurisdiction

in which they are offered, sold or delivered. Any

information memorandum, terms sheet, circular,

advertisement or other offering material in respect of

the Green Bonds may only be published, delivered or

distributed in or from any country or jurisdiction under

circumstances which will result in compliance with all

applicable laws and regulations.
