The offer contained in this Terms Sheet is an offer

the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014 (FMC

The GNE030 Bonds are the only debt securities of

Genesis that are in the same class as the Green Bonds

Bonds to find out how the market assesses the returns

and risk premium for those bonds.

Genesis’ current Issuer Credit Rating includes a one-notch uplift from the

company’s stand-alone credit profile of ‘bbb’, reflecting the legislated

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

Bonds and is under no obligation to provide financial support to Genesis.

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).

the next following Business Day.

RankingThe Green Bonds rank equally and without preference among themselves

and equally with any other unsecured, unsubordinated indebtedness of

Genesis (except indebtedness preferred by law).

GuaranteeThe Green Bonds benefit from the guarantee provisions contained in the

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

time) (Negative Pledge Deed) and a subsidiary guarantee dated 1 March

2022. Under these guarantee provisions, each Guaranteeing Subsidiary

guarantees the due and punctual payment of all amounts payable by

Genesis to Green Bondholders in respect of the Green Bonds. There are no

limits on the obligations of the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries in respect of the

amounts owing under the guarantee. The guarantee is unsecured.

As at the date of this Terms Sheet, Kupe Venture Limited is the only

Guaranteeing Subsidiary.

EBITDA Coverage RatioUnder the Bond Trust Documents and the Negative Pledge Deed, Genesis

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

EBITDA of the Consolidated Group in respect of the 12 month period ending

on 30 June and 31 December in each year.

As at the date of this Terms Sheet, Genesis and Kupe Venture Limited are

the only members of the Guaranteeing Group.

Negative PledgeUnder the Negative Pledge Deed, each member 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.

Event of DefaultUpon the occurrence of an Event of Default as set out in the Bond Trust

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.

4

Further IndebtednessGenesis and the Guaranteeing Subsidiaries may incur finance debt
(including, without limitation, bank debt, new bonds or new US private

placement notes) without the consent of Green Bondholders.

Early RepaymentOther than following an Event of Default, Green Bondholders have no right

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

and Minimum Holding

Minimum application of NZ$5,000 with multiples of NZ$1,000 thereafter.

Transfer RestrictionsAs a Green Bondholder, you may only transfer Green Bonds if the transfer

is in respect of Green Bonds having an aggregate Principal Amount that is

an integral multiple of NZ$1,000. However, Genesis will not register any

transfer of Green Bonds if the transfer would result in the transferor or the

transferee holding or continuing to hold Green Bonds with an aggregate

Principal Amount of less than NZ$5,000, unless the transferor would then

hold no Green Bonds.

immediately after issue, quoted on the NZX Debt Market. Application has

been made to NZX for permission to quote the Green Bonds on the NZX

Debt Market and all the requirements of NZX relating thereto that can

be complied with on or before the distribution of this Terms Sheet have
