By order of the Board


Chris Bougen

General Counsel and Company Secretary

27 March 2023

Auditor’s fees and expenses

(Resolution 1)

Ernst & Young (EY) is the current auditor of the Company.

Under the Companies Act 1993, a company’s auditor

is automatically reappointed unless the Shareholders

resolve to appoint a replacement auditor or certain

other specified reasons exist for the auditor not to be

reappointed.

However, notwithstanding the automatic reappointment

of an auditor under the Companies Act 1993, the auditor’s

fees and expenses must be fixed by the Company at

the Annual Meeting, or in the manner that the Company

determines at the Annual Meeting.

Therefore, Shareholders are being asked to resolve that

the Directors be authorised to fix the fees and expenses

of EY for the audit of the Company’s financial statements

for the year ending 31 December 2023.

The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders

vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Increase in the Directors’ Fee Pool

(Resolution 2)

NZX Main Board Listing Rule 2.11.1 and the Company’s

Constitution require that the maximum annual

remuneration that can be paid to all Directors in

aggregate (the “Fee Pool”) must be authorised by an

ordinary resolution of Shareholders. The Fee Pool may

then be divided amongst the Directors as the Board

deems appropriate.

As signalled in the 2021 Annual Report, following the

conversion from a refinery to an import terminal business,

the Board commenced a review of Directors’ fees in 2022.

The Board has undertaken a detailed review of fees to

assess the appropriateness of the fees paid to Directors

and ensure that the Company’s director remuneration

practices are consistent with market trends, the objective

of attracting and retaining high calibre individuals

as directors and ensure Directors are appropriately

compensated for their workload on the various Board

sub-committees under the Channel Infrastructure

governance framework.

The Company is now seeking to increase the annual Fee

Pool by 3% or $27,000 from $900,000 to $927,000.

The proposed change to the annual Fee Pool reflects:

• The Fee Pool was last increased five years ago at

the 2018 Annual Meeting. Despite the extremely high

workload of the Board during the Strategic Review and

subsequent business transformation (with 159 board

and commitee meetings over the last three calendar

years), the Board considered it was not appropriate to

increase fees at that time, recognising the uncertain

financial position of the Company and the workforce

changes that occurred during that period. In 2022,

Channel Infrastructure successfully transitioned to

its new business model, as New Zealand’s leading

fuel infrastructure company, reported a profit and

recommenced payment of dividends to shareholders.

• Over the last year, Channel Infrastructure has made

a number of changes to its Board and governance

processes to align with its new business, operations and

strategy. The updated 2023 Governance Statement

reflects a revised Health, Safety, Environment and

Operations (HSEO) board sub-committee. This new sub-

committee structure allows our Directors with specialist

expertise in these areas to increase their time and focus

on the continued improvement at Channel Infrastructure

on asset management, resilience, emergency response

and oversight of health, safety and environmental risks.

The Chair and members of this reconstituted HSEO

Committee should receive additional remuneration

for this committee work, as is consistent with market

practice for companies operating in high hazard

industries and with Channel Infrastructure’s other board

sub-committees. The additional remuneration proposed

for this committee (as outlined in the proposed fee

allocation below) would be $20,000 annually.

• The Company wishes to maintain the level of headroom

in the Feel Pool to pay additional fees as appropriate

to manage any Board succession that might occur over

the next few years and to pay Directors for significant

additional work on ad hoc committees for special

projects, as is the norm for the market, Based on the

proposed fee allocation set out below, there would be

approximately $90,000 of headroom in the Fee Pool for

such additional and ad hoc committee work, consistent

with the current head room.

• The proposed increase is modest relative to inflation of c.7%

The current and proposed fees by role are summarised

in the following table (with the fees that are proposed

to be changed shown in bold for ease of reference). It

is proposed these fees take effect following the Annual

Shareholders Meeting.

Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions. To be passed at this Annual Meeting, these Resolutions

require the approval of a simple majority of the votes cast by Shareholders entitled to vote and voting.

21Channel Infrastructure NZ | Notice of Annual MeetingChannel Infrastructure NZ | Notice of Annual Meeting

The proposed new fee allocation includes the additional
payments to the members of the HSEO Committee, and

moves the ratio of Board Chair to Independent Director

fee (as underlined in the above table) towards 2:1 ratio,

which takes into account the greater workload of the

Chair and that the Chair does not receive additional

remuneration for committee work or for special projects.

The proposed allocations are indicative as the Board

will retain the discretion to determine, as it deems

appropriate, how fees within the Fee Pool are allocated

amongst the Directors.

In accordance with Recommendation 5.1 of the NZX

Corporate Governance Code dated 1 April 2023, the

Board believes that the Directors’ fixed fees reflect the

time commitment and responsibilities of the Director’s

role, including for committee work. Further, there is not

and will not be any performance-based remuneration

for non-executive Directors (currently all Directors are

non-executive) and none of the Directors will receive

equity based compensation.

For these reasons, the Board unanimously recommends

that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

The Directors have also obtained from

PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”) a market

benchmarking report for Directors’ fees at the

Company. A summary of PwC’s report (including PwC’s

assumptions and methodologies), accompanies this

Notice of Meeting. PwC does not provide conclusions or

recommendations, and instead provides market data

to inform the Board in its assessment of the appropriate

level of Directors’ fees, including the new fees proposed

for the HSEO Committee.

Under the NZX Main Board Listing Rules, the Directors

and their associated persons are disqualified from voting

in favour of this resolution. The associated persons

include BP New Zealand Holdings Limited and Z Energy

Limited as some of the Directors of the Company

are also employees of those entities (or their related

companies).

Voting entitlements

and disqualifications

Provided that they are registered as holding Shares on

Channel Infrastructure’s share register at 2.00pm on

Tuesday, 25 April 2023 (being the Record Date),

all Shareholders will be entitled to vote on Resolutions

1 and 2 (subject to the below disqualifications) at the

Annual Meeting.

There are no voting restrictions placed on Resolution 1.

Pursuant to the NZX Main Board Listing Rules, the

Directors and their associated persons are disqualified

from voting in favour of Resolution 2 (the resolution to

increase the Directors’ Fee Pool). The associated persons

include BP New Zealand Holdings Limited and Z Energy

Limited as some of the Directors intended to receive

payment are also employees of those entities (or their

related companies) respectively.

Directors and their associated persons are disqualified

from voting discretionary proxies in favour of Resolution

2, but may vote in accordance with a Shareholder’s

express instructions. If there are any motions from the

floor relating to remuneration then the Directors and

their associated persons will be ineligible to vote as the

discretionary proxies are not valid.

Casting votes

Shareholders may cast their vote in one of three ways:

(a) Personal attendance

If Shareholders wish they can attend the Annual

Meeting in person or participate virtually via the

Computershare Online Meetings platform

https://meetnow.global/nz provided by the Company’s

share registrar, Computershare Investor Services Limited.

If a Shareholder is a body corporate it may appoint

a representative to attend the Annual Meeting on its

behalf in the same manner as that in which it could

appoint a proxy.

(b) Proxies

A Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual

Meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote

instead of the Shareholder. A proxy need not be another

Shareholder. A Shareholder may appoint “The Chairman

of the Meeting” as proxy. The Chairman intends to vote

any undirected proxies held by him in favour of Resolution

1. The Chairman is disqualified from voting on an

undirected proxy in favour of Resolution 2 (the resolution

to increase the Directors’ Fee Pool).

If you have ticked the “PROXY DISCRETION” box and

your named proxy does not attend the Annual Meeting

or you have not named a proxy but have otherwise

completed the Proxy Form in full, the Chairman of the

Annual Meeting will act as your proxy. With respect to

any other direction the Proxy Form will take effect as

a postal vote. The Chairman’s voting intentions are set

out in the paragraph above, and it is noted that he is

disqualified from voting on an undirected proxy in favour

of Resolution 2 (the resolution to increase the Directors’

Fee Pool). Accordingly, Shareholders who wish to appoint

the Chairman as proxy are encouraged to record a

voting direction in relation to Resolution 2 to ensure their

vote is counted.

A Proxy Form is enclosed with this Notice of Annual

Meeting. If used to appoint a proxy, it must be deposited

with the Company not later than 48 hours before the

time for holding the Annual Meeting (i.e., on or before

2:00pm on Tuesday, 25 April 2023). A Proxy Form may

be deposited with the Company by any of the following

methods:

• Depositing it at the Registered Office of the Company;

• Online at www.investorvote.co.nz;

• Delivering it to the Company’s share registrar’s office at

Level 2, 159 Hurstmere Road, Takapuna, Auckland;

• Posting it to the Company’s share registrar’s office in

the supplied reply paid envelope; or

• Emailing it to corporateactions@computershare.co.nz.

The Company may however accept late Proxy Forms

received before the start of the Annual Meeting at its

sole discretion.

(c) Postal voting

Shareholders who are entitled to attend and vote at

the Annual Meeting may cast a postal vote instead of

attending in person or appointing a proxy.

A Proxy/Voting Form is enclosed with this Notice of

Annual Meeting. If used to cast a postal vote, it must be

deposited with the Company not later than 48 hours

before the time for holding the Annual Meeting (i.e., on

or before 2:00pm on Tuesday, 25 April 2023), in the same

manner as a Proxy Form. The Company may however

accept late Proxy/Voting Forms received before the start

As a Shareholder you may attend the Annual Meeting and vote, or you may

appoint a proxy to attend the Annual Meeting and vote in your place. A proxy

need not be a Shareholder of the Company. You may, if you wish, appoint

“The Chairman of the Meeting” as your proxy. The Chairman intends to vote

any undirected proxies held by him in favour of Resolution 1. The Chairman is

disqualified from voting on an undirected proxy in favour of resolution 2 (the

resolution to increase the Directors’ Fee Pool). Joint holders should all sign the

form if appointing a proxy.

If you have ticked the “PROXY DISCRETION” box and your named proxy does

not attend the Annual Meeting or you have not named a proxy, the Chairman

of the Annual Meeting will act as your proxy. With respect to any other

direction the proxy form will take effect as a postal vote. The Chairman’s

voting intentions are set out in the paragraph above. Resolution 1 is not

subject to any restrictions on voting under the NZX Listing Rules. Pursuant

to the NZX Main Board Listing Rules, the Directors and their associated

persons are disqualified from voting in favour of Resolution 2 (the resolution

to increase the Directors’ Fee Pool). The associated persons include BP New

Zealand Holdings Limited and Z Energy Limited.

Directors and their associated persons are disqualified from voting

discretionary proxies in favour of Resolution 2, but may vote in accordance

with a Shareholder’s express instructions. If there are any motions from the

floor relating to remuneration then the Directors and their associated persons

will be ineligible to vote as the discretionary proxies are not valid.

the case of a postal vote you will be deemed to have abstained from voting

be deemed to have given your proxy discretion as to whether and how

Summary

3

The table below summarises market remuneration data provided by PwC for directors’ fees from a comparator group of 14 NZX-listedcompanies agreed with the

Channel Infrastructure Board for the purposes of this exercise. PwC’s scope for this work was limited to the provision of marketdata and positioning relative to

the data and no recommendations are made regarding the remuneration of Channel Infrastructure directors.

The primary basis for the comparator group composition was comparable market capitalisation. Median market capitalisation acrossthe sample was $524 million

(average: $538 million), compared to Channel Infrastructure’s market capitalisation of $537 million when the peer group was resolved in November 2022. Details

of the comparator group are provided in Appendix 1.

As requested by Channel Infrastructure, we have also provided line by line fee information for seven listed companies operating within high hazard/risk industries

(Appendix 2).

The table below summarises the market median position for specified Board roles and aggregate fees and compares Channel Infrastructure’s current directors’

fees against the market median of the comparator group. Data is current to December 2022 and has been sourced from publicly available information, including

annual reports and NZX disclosures.

Where the Board chooses to position its fees against the market data will depend on the Board’s view of the overall relevance of the comparator group and

specifically Channel Infrastructure’s perceived relative complexity of operations, scale, ranking (by scale) and risk profileascompared with those of the

comparator companies.

Notes:

1.Analysis of the 13 companies in the sample which had a Board Chair, with one having an Executive Chair. The majority of Chairroles received no committee fees,

with the base fee recompensing all Board contribution/roles held. Where additional fees werepaid, this was includedin the data analysis above and throughout the

report.

2.Analysis of base NED fees for all 14 companies in the comparator group. Channel Infrastructure NED fees consist of Channel Infrastructure’s base fees ($75,000)

plus an Independent Director Committee fee ($20,000). Non-independent directors currently receive the base fee of $75,000 only in recognition of their reduced

workload relative to the independent directors.

-has also been itemised for completeness.

4.Analysis of each of the 11 companies that had this role/paid additional remuneration to this role. Some companies combined this committee portfolio e.g. People &

Remuneration Committee, Remuneration & Nomination Committee etc. Both committee fee only and aggregated fees (with NED remuneration) are provided.

5.Analysis of each of the 6 companies that had another committee role for which the chair of committee attracted an additional feeto base NED remuneration.

Aggregated remuneration analysis which reflects payment of the NED fee + committee fee is also provided. Channel Infrastructure’s ‘Other’ committee chair fee

pertains to the Chair of the Health, Safety and Operations’ Committee role. There was insufficient market data available to publish data for the Member of ‘Other’

Committee role.

6.Analysis of each of the 5 companies that had this role/paid additional remuneration to this role. Aggregated remuneration analysis for NED fee + committee fee is

also provided.
