majority ownership by the Crown. The Crown does not guarantee the Green

A credit rating is not a recommendation by any rating organisation to buy,
sell or hold Green Bonds. The above credit ratings are current as at the
date of this Terms Sheet and may be subject to suspension, revision or
withdrawal at any time by S&P Global Ratings.
Use of Green Bond ProceedsIn accordance with Genesis' Sustainable Finance Framework dated
November 2021 (as amended from time to time) (Sustainable Finance
Framework), Genesis intends to notionally allocate an amount equal to the
proceeds of the Green Bonds to finance or refinance renewable energy
assets, or other projects, assets and/or activities, that meet the eligibility
criteria set out in the Sustainable Finance Framework (Eligible Assets).
Consistent with this, Genesis will apply the net proceeds of this offer to
repay existing debt.
In accordance with the Sustainable Finance Framework, Genesis intends 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
Bonds issued under this offer); and
- maintain a register that outlines (among other things) the current book
value of Eligible Assets and the notional allocation of proceeds
(including an amount equal to the proceeds of the Green Bonds issued
under this offer).
A copy of the Sustainable Finance Framework is available on Genesis’
website at www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investors/reports-and-presentations.

Alignment with the
Green Bond Principles
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.
No Event of Default in relation
to the Sustainable Finance
Framework or the Green
Bond Principles
If:
- Genesis fails to allocate the proceeds of the Green Bonds as described
in this Terms Sheet and the Sustainable Finance Framework;
- Genesis fails to comply with the Sustainable Finance Framework in any
other way;
- the Green Bonds cease to satisfy the Green Bond Principles (including,
without limitation, as a result of an amendment to the Green Bond
Principles); or
- Genesis fails to notify Green Bondholders that the Green Bonds cease
to comply with the Sustainable Finance Framework or the Green Bond
Principles,
then, although it is possible that the Green Bonds may lose their green
classification:
- no Event of Default will occur in relation to the Green Bonds; and
- neither the Green Bondholders nor Genesis will have any right for the
Green Bonds to be repaid early.
Interest Rate4.17 per cent per annum.
The Interest Rate has been set at the higher of:
- the sum of the Base Rate and the Margin on the Rate Set Date
(following the bookbuild process); and
- the minimum Interest Rate of 4.00 per cent per annum (as announced
by Genesis via NZX on 1 March 2022).
The Base Rate on the Rate Set Date was 3.12 per cent per annum and the
Margin was determined by Genesis in consultation with the Joint Lead
Managers as 1.05 per cent per annum. Accordingly, the sum of the Base
Rate and the Margin on the Rate Set Date (being 4.17 per cent per annum)
applies to the Green Bonds.
Margin1.05 per cent per annum.
Base RateThe semi-annual mid-market rate for an interest rate swap of a term
matching the period from the Issue Date to the Maturity Date as calculated
by the Arranger in consultation with Genesis, according to market
convention, with reference to Bloomberg page 'ICNZ4' (or any successor
page) on the Rate Set Date (rounded to 2 decimal places, if necessary, with
0.005 being rounded up).

negative pledge deed dated 12 August 2004 (as amended from time to

guarantees the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable by

amounts owing under the guarantee. The guarantee is unsecured.

must ensure that EBITDA of the Guaranteeing Group exceeds 85% of

As at the date of this Terms Sheet, Genesis and Kupe Venture Limited are
the only members of the Guaranteeing Group.

agrees that it will not create, or permit to subsist, any security over the
whole or any part of its assets, except in certain limited circumstances set
out in the Negative Pledge Deed.

Documents, the Supervisor may in its discretion, and it must, upon being
directed to do so by an extraordinary resolution of Green Bondholders,
declare the principal amount, all accrued interest and any other amounts
due and payable on the Green Bonds to be immediately due and payable.
You should refer to the Bond Trust Documents for a description of the
specific events which constitute Events of Default.

(including, without limitation, bank debt, new bonds or new US private
placement notes) without the consent of Green Bondholders.

to require Genesis to redeem the Green Bonds prior to the Maturity Date.
Genesis does not have the right to redeem the Green Bonds early.
Minimum Application Amount
