Genesis – Green Capital Bond Offer
MARKET ANNOUNCEMENT
Date: 26 June 2023
NZX: GNE / ASX: GNE
Genesis - Green Capital Bond Offer
Genesis Energy Limited (Genesis) confirmed today that it is offering up to NZ$240,000,000 (with the ability to accept
oversubscriptions at Genesis' discretion) of 30 year unsecured, subordinated green capital bonds (Capital Bonds) to
New Zealand investors.
The offer opens today and is expected to close on 29 June 2023, with the Capital Bonds expected to be issued on 10
July 2023 (Issue Date).
The Capital Bonds are expected to be assigned a BB+ credit rating by S&P Global Ratings.
The indicative margin range for the Capital Bonds is 1.95% to 2.15% per annum (subject to a minimum Interest Rate of
6.50% per annum to the First Reset Date (10 July 2028)). An announcement of the actual margin (which may be within,
above or below the indicative margin range) and the interest rate to the First Reset Date will be made following a
bookbuild process, expected to be completed on 29 June 2023 and announced via NZX shortly thereafter.
Genesis has the right to redeem its subordinated capital bonds which are quoted on the NZX Debt Market under the
ticker GNE050 (GNE050 Bonds) on 17 July 2023 (being the first business day after the scheduled "first reset date" of 16
July 2023, which is a Sunday).
If the bookbuild for the offer is successful:
(a) holders of GNE050 Bonds that are held through a custodial account (and who wish to re-invest in the new
Capital Bonds) (Custodial GNE050 Bondholder) may be able to exchange all or some of their GNE050 Bonds for
an equal number of new Capital Bonds on the Issue Date; and
(b) Genesis will exercise its option to redeem all GNE050 Bonds on 17 July 2023 that are not otherwise exchanged
on the Issue Date as described above.
The exchange mechanism will only be available to a Custodial GNE050 Bondholder if:
(a) the Custodial GNE050 Bondholder receives an allocation of new Capital Bonds from a participant in the
bookbuild for the Offer; and
(b) Genesis and the relevant participant (acting on the authorisation of the Custodial GNE050 Bondholder) have
agreed to the exchange.
For the avoidance of doubt, the exchange mechanism does not restrict:
(a) a Custodial GNE050 Bondholder from seeking to invest in more or less Capital Bonds than the number of
GNE050 Bonds beneficially held by the Custodial GNE050 Bondholder; or
(b) any other holder of GNE050 Bonds (that is not a Custodial GNE050 Bondholder) from seeking to invest in the
Capital Bonds.
To allow for an orderly settlement and redemption process, trading in all GNE050 Bonds will be suspended from close
of market today, 26 June 2023.
There is no public pool for the offer, with all of the Capital Bonds (including under the exchange mechanism described
above) being reserved for clients of the Joint Lead Managers, NZX participants and other approved financial
intermediaries.
The offer is made pursuant to the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 as an offer of debt securities of the same class as
existing quoted debt securities. The Capital Bonds are expected to be quoted on the NZX Debt Market.
Full details of the offer are contained in the indicative terms sheet, which is available at
www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investors/reports-and-presentations under Green Capital Bond Offer or by contacting a Joint
Lead Manager or your usual financial adviser.
Copies of the indicative terms sheet and the investor presentation have also been provided to NZX with this
announcement.

Overview of the Sustainable Finance Framework
Established by Genesis in November 2021
•Genesis’ Sustainable Finance Framework (Sustainable Finance
Framework)sets out the process by which Genesis intends to issue and
manage bonds and loans (Sustainable Debt) on an ongoing basis to support
Genesis’ sustainability objectives, to contribute towards the United Nation’s
Sustainable Development Goals, and to create positive environmental and
social outcomes (Sustainability Goals).
•Through the Sustainable Finance Framework, Genesis aims to support the
industry’s response to helping New Zealand achieve its net-zero emissions
goals, address social challenges and provide a mechanism for investors to
contribute capital to achieve their Sustainability Goals.
•The Sustainable Finance Framework is consistent with the applicable
sustainable finance principles and guidelines issued by the International
Capital Market Association and the Asia Pacific Loan Market Association
(together the Market Standards). The Market Standards are voluntary and
accepted as best practice for issuance and management of Sustainable Debt
in the global capital markets.
A copy of the Sustainable Finance Framework is available on Genesis’ website. This can be

Pillars of the Sustainable Finance Framework
Management & Governance
In accordance with Genesis’ Sustainable Finance Framework, Genesis intends to notionally allocate an amount equal to the
proceeds of its green bonds and green loans to finance or refinance renewable energy assets, or other projects, assets and/or
activities, that meet the eligibility criteria set out in the Framework (Eligible Assets).
Genesis has established processes to ensure that Eligible Assets are properly identified and assessed to ensure compliance
with the Sustainable Finance Framework. The processes include Genesis’ Sustainable Financing Committee holding
responsibility for the Eligible Asset evaluation and selection process, as well as monitoring compliance with the Sustainable
Finance Framework and the relevant Market Standards. The Committee consists of representatives from Financial Control,
Treasury, Risk Assurance and Sustainability.

assets, including hydro-electricity and wind energy.
Genesis maintains a register of Eligible Assets that outlines (among other things) the current book value and allocation of

The Interest Rate applying from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) the first Reset Date will be the percentagerate per annum equal to the
Benchmark Rate (mid-market NZD swap rate for a 5-year term, asdetermined on the Rate Set Date) plus the Margin (as determined on the Rate Set Date), subject

If no Successful Election Process occurs, the New Conditions will not apply, and the Interest Rate will reset as described above.
Interest Deferral and Distribution Stopper
Genesis may, in its absolute discretion, defer any payment of interest for up to five years. If deferred, an interest payment amount will accrue interest
(compounding every Interest Payment Date) at the prevailing Interest Rate on the Capital Bonds (in aggregate, the Unpaid Interest). Genesis' right to defer
interest does not apply to interest that is due to be paid on the Maturity Date or an early Redemption Date.
While any Unpaid Interest remains outstanding, Genesis must not:

Capital Bonds held by that Bondholder.
Redemption Amount
For each Capital Bond redeemed under paragraph b) or c) under "Optional Early Redemption by Genesis”
4
above, the redemption amount payable is the greater
of:
a)the PrincipalAmount ($1.00) plus all accrued but unpaid interest (including any Unpaid Interest); and
b)the market value of the Capital Bonds plus all accrued but unpaid interest.

Key Early Redemption Drivers
Year 5 –Reset Date 10 July 2028
•Potential Election Process or Genesis can call (redeem) the Capital Bonds
•Step-up in margin (0.25%) if not called or no Successful Election Process
•Potential refinancing risk at year 10 if not called
•Call is at par (any subsequent issuer call between Reset Dates is at the higher of par and market value, except if a Tax Event or a Rating Agency Event
occurs)
Year 10 –Reset Date 10 July 2033
•S&P's equity content expected to reduce to minimal (0%)
•Treated as 100% debt by S&P
•Expected to be high-cost debt with limited benefits to Genesis
•Outcomes not consistent with Genesis' rationale for issue
Genesis believes that hybrid securities that are ascribed equity content (such as the Capital Bonds) are an effective capitalmanagement tool and currently intends
to maintain such instruments as a key feature of its capital structure going forward.
If Genesis chooses to redeem the Capital Bonds early, its current expectation is that equivalent replacement securities wouldbeissued to fund that redemption.
There is no certainty that Genesis will choose to redeem the Capital Bonds on a Reset Date or any other optional redemption date.Bondholders have no right to
request Genesis to redeem the Capital Bonds early unless a Holder Put Event has occurred.

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 30 June
balance dates and reviewed by the external auditor for half year numbers.Genesis' financial statements (available at
www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investor/results-and-reports/reports-and-presentations)include a reconciliation to net profit after tax.

subordinated green capital bonds maturing on 10 July
2053 (Capital Bonds) under a capital bonds trust deed
dated 26 June 2023 (Capital Bonds Trust Deed) entered
into between Genesis as issuer, Kupe Venture Limited

Deed.
Important notice
The offer of Capital Bonds by Genesis (Offer) is made in
reliance upon the exclusion in clause 19 of schedule 1 of
the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 (FMCA).
The Offer contained in this Terms Sheet is an offer of
unsecured, subordinated green capital bonds that have
identical rights, privileges, limitations and conditions
(except for the interest rate and maturity date) as Genesis’
$285,000,000 unsecured, subordinated green capital
bonds maturing on 9 June 2052 (with an interest rate of
5.66% per annum), which are currently quoted on the NZX
Debt Market under the ticker code GNE070 (GNE070
Bonds).
The Capital Bonds are of the same class as the GNE070
Bonds for the purposes of the FMCA and the Financial
Markets Conduct Regulations 2014 (FMC Regulations).

it to notify certain material information to NZX Limited
(NZX) for the purpose of that information being made
available to participants in the market and that information
can be found by visiting www.nzx.com/companies/GNE/
announcements.
The GNE070 Bonds are the only debt securities of Genesis
that are in the same class as the Capital Bonds and are
currently quoted on the NZX Debt Market.
Investors should look to the market price of the GNE070
Bonds to find out how the market assesses the returns and
risk premium for those bonds.
Redemption of the GNE050 Bonds
on the first reset date
Genesis has the right to redeem its $240,000,000
unsecured, subordinated capital bonds which are quoted

Indicative Terms Sheet
(GNE050 Bonds) on 17 July 2023 (being the first business

which is a Sunday). If the bookbuild for the Offer is
successful, Genesis will elect to redeem the GNE050
Bonds by giving a redemption notice to holders of GNE050
Bonds (GNE050 Bondholders) on or about 30 June 2023.
Other information
The Capital Bonds are complex financial products
that are not suitable for many investors. You should
carefully consider the features of the Capital Bonds,
which differ from the features of a standard senior bond.
Those features include the ability of Genesis to defer
interest, optional redemption rights for Genesis and the
subordinated nature of the Capital Bonds. You should
read this Terms Sheet carefully (including the Risks
discussed on page 15) and seek qualified, independent
financial advice before deciding to invest in the Capital
Bonds. If you do not fully understand how the Capital
Bonds work or the risks associated with them, you
should not invest in them.
The full terms of the Capital Bonds are set out in the
Capital Bonds Trust Deed. A copy of the Capital Bonds
Trust Deed is available on Genesis’ website at www.
genesisenergy.co.nz/investor/results-and-reports/reports-
and-presentations under the heading “Green Capital Bond
Offer”.
The dates set out in this Terms Sheet are indicative only
and Genesis, in conjunction with the Joint Lead Managers,
may change the dates set out in this Terms Sheet. Genesis
has the right in its absolute discretion and without notice
to close the Offer early, to extend the Closing Date, or to
choose not to proceed with the Offer. If the Closing Date
is changed, other dates (such as the Issue Date, the Reset
Dates, the Maturity Date and the Interest Payment Dates)
may be changed accordingly.
All references to $ in this Terms Sheet are to New Zealand
dollars.
Bondholder means a holder of Capital Bonds.
Note that the GNE050 Bonds are not green capital bonds.
Accordingly, the GNE050 Bonds are not the same class as

capital bonds) for the purposes of the FMCA and the FMC
Regulations.

discretion).
The Offer is not underwritten.
The Offer will be conducted on a firm allocation basis as described in more
detail below in the sections titled “Who may apply for Capital Bonds” and
“How to apply”.

Issue DateMonday, 10 July 2023.
First Reset DateMonday, 10 July 2028.
Maturity DateThursday, 10 July 2053.
Issue Price and Principal Amount$1.00 per Capital Bond.
GuaranteeThe Capital Bonds benefit from the guarantee contained in the Capital
Bonds Trust Deed (Guarantee).
Under the Guarantee, each Guarantor (being any subsidiary of Genesis
that is, or becomes, party to the Capital Bonds Trust Deed as a guarantor)
guarantees the payment of all amounts due and payable by Genesis to
Bondholders in respect of the Capital Bonds. There are no limits on the
obligations of the Guarantors in respect of the amounts owing under the
Guarantee. The Guarantee is an unsecured, subordinated obligation of the
Guarantors.
As at the date of this Terms Sheet, Kupe Venture Limited is the only
Guarantor.
Further IndebtednessGenesis and each Guarantor may incur finance debt without the consent of
Bondholders. This means Genesis (or any Guarantor) may, at any time, incur
further debt that ranks equally with, or in priority to, the Capital Bonds (or,
in the case of a Guarantor, its obligations under the Guarantee).
Equity ContentS&P Global Ratings (S&P) is expected to assign an “intermediate” equity
content to the Capital Bonds. Where such equity credit content is assigned,
S&P will consider that the Capital Bonds comprise 50% equity when
calculating its financial ratios for Genesis.
The equity content is expected to fall to minimal (0%) from 10 July 2033.
Capital StructureGenesis believes that hybrid securities that are ascribed equity content
such as the Capital Bonds are an effective capital management tool and
Genesis currently intends to maintain such instruments as a key feature of
its capital structure going forward.

Credit Ratings
Issuer Credit RatingExpected Issue Credit Rating
of the Capital Bonds
S&PBBB+ (Stable) BB+
Genesis’ current Issuer Credit Rating includes a one-notch uplift from
Genesis’ stand-alone credit rating of ‘bbb’, reflecting the legislated majority
ownership by the New Zealand government. The New Zealand government
does not guarantee the Capital Bonds and is under no obligation to provide
financial support to Genesis.
The expected Issue Credit Rating of the Capital Bonds is two notches
below Genesis’ stand-alone credit rating. One notch is deducted because
the Capital Bonds are subordinated and a second notch because of the
potential for payments of interest to be deferred (as described in the
section below titled “Discretionary Deferral of Interest”).
A credit rating is an independent opinion of the capability and willingness
of an entity to repay its debts (in other words, its creditworthiness). It is not
a guarantee that the financial product being offered is a safe investment.
A credit rating should be considered alongside all other relevant information
when making an investment decision.
A credit rating is not a recommendation by any rating organisation to buy,
sell or hold Capital Bonds. The above Issuer Credit Rating is current as
at the date of this Terms Sheet and any credit rating may be subject to
suspension, revision or withdrawal at any time by S&P.

Redemption of GNE050 Bonds if
the Offer is successful
Redemption on the first reset date of the GNE050 Bonds
If the bookbuild for the Offer is successful, Genesis will issue a redemption
notice in respect of the GNE050 Bonds on or about 30 June 2023 in order
to redeem the GNE050 Bonds on 17 July 2023 (being the first business
day after the scheduled first reset date of 16 July 2023, which is a Sunday)
that are not otherwise redeemed on the Issue Date under the exchange
mechanism described below. For each GNE050 Bond redeemed on 17 July
2023, Genesis will pay to the relevant GNE050 Bondholder an amount equal
to the principal amount of the GNE050 Bond ($1.00) plus the final quarterly
interest payment.
3
Redemption of GNE050 Bonds if
the Offer is successful (continued)
Exchange mechanism
If the bookbuild for the Offer is successful, holders of GNE050 Bonds that
are held through a custodial account (and who wish to re-invest in the
Capital Bonds) (Custodial GNE050 Bondholders) may be able to exchange
all or some of their GNE050 Bonds for an equal number of Capital Bonds
on the Issue Date (on a one-for-one basis at a face value of $1.00). This
mechanism will only be available to a Custodial GNE050 Bondholder if:
(a) the Custodial GNE050 Bondholder receives an allocation of new
Capital Bonds from a participant in the bookbuild for the Offer; and
(b) Genesis and the relevant participant (acting on the authorisation of
the Custodial GNE050 Bondholder) have agreed to the exchange.
For any GNE050 Bonds that are exchanged on the Issue Date (Exchanged
GNE050 Bonds), Genesis will:
(a) redeem the Exchanged GNE050 Bonds on the Issue Date (10 July
2023) (rather than on 17 July 2023 as described above under the
heading “Redemption on the first reset date of the GNE050 Bonds”);
(b) retain the principal redemption amount of the Exchanged GNE050
Bonds and apply this amount to pay the Issue Price of an equal
number of new Capital Bonds that are issued on the Issue Date to the
relevant custodian (that maintains the custodial account on behalf
of its Custodial GNE050 Bondholders participating in the exchange
mechanism); and
(c) pay a final interest payment on the Exchanged GNE050 Bonds for the
period from (and including) the previous interest payment date for
the Exchanged GNE050 Bonds (16 April 2023) to (but excluding) the
Issue Date (10 July 2023).
No additional amounts are payable by a holder for any Capital Bonds that
are issued under this exchange mechanism. Genesis’ obligation to redeem
the Exchanged GNE050 Bonds will be satisfied once it has issued the
relevant number of new Capital Bonds and paid the final interest payment
referred to in paragraph (c) above.
For the avoidance of doubt, the exchange mechanism does not restrict:
(a) a Custodial GNE050 Bondholder from seeking to invest in more or
less Capital Bonds than the number of GNE050 Bonds beneficially
held by the Custodial GNE050 Bondholder; or
(b) any other GNE050 Bondholder (that is not a Custodial GNE050
Bondholder) from seeking to invest in the Capital Bonds.
The Issue Price for each Capital Bond that is not otherwise settled under the
exchange mechanism must be cash settled on the Issue Date.
Retail investors (including GNE050 Bondholders) who wish to participate
in the Offer and invest in the Capital Bonds (including under the exchange
mechanism described above) should contact their financial adviser, one
of the Joint Lead Managers or another Primary Market Participant – see
the sections below titled “Who may apply for Capital Bonds” and “How to
apply” for further information.

Interest Rate from the Issue Date to
the First Reset Date
The Interest Rate applying from (and including) the Issue Date to (but
excluding) the First Reset Date will be the percentage rate per annum equal

quarterly basis (rounded up to the nearest two decimal places).
Indicative Margin1.95% to 2.15% per annum.
MarginThe Margin (which may be within, above or below the Indicative Margin
mentioned above) will be determined by Genesis (in consultation with the
Joint Lead Managers) following a bookbuild process and announced via
NZX on or shortly after the Rate Set Date.
Interest Payment Dates10 January, 10 April, 10 July and 10 October of each year up to (and
including) the Maturity Date.
The first Interest Payment Date is 10 October 2023.
Interest PaymentsInterest will accrue on each Capital Bond from (and including) the Issue
Date to (but excluding) the date on which the Capital Bond is redeemed.
Interest is payable quarterly in arrear in equal amounts on each Interest
Payment Date to the Bondholder as at the Record Date immediately
preceding the Interest Payment Date.
Genesis may (at its sole discretion) defer the payment of interest on any
scheduled Interest Payment Date - see the section titled “Discretionary
Deferral of Interest” below.
If any Capital Bonds are redeemed on a date that is not a scheduled Interest
Payment Date, interest is payable in respect of those Capital Bonds on the
Redemption Date, calculated on the basis of a 365-day year and the number
of days from (and including) the immediately preceding Interest Payment
Date (or the Issue Date if the first Interest Payment Date has not occurred)
to (but excluding) the Redemption Date.
Record DateRecord Date means:
(a) in relation to a payment of interest, the date which is 10 calendar
days before the due date for the payment; and
(b) in relation to an Election Process (as defined below), the date which is
two Business Days prior to the date on which the applicable Election
Notice (as defined below) is given,
and if that date is not a Business Day, the Record Date will be the preceding
Business Day, or such other date as may be required by NZX.
Reset DatesThe First Reset Date for the Capital Bonds is the date that is five years after
the Issue Date (10 July 2028). Thereafter there is a further Reset Date every
five years. As part of a Successful Election Process, a different Reset Date
may be adopted.
5
Interest Rate after each Reset DateThe Interest Rate will reset on each Reset Date.
The Interest Rate applying from (and including) each Reset Date to (but
excluding) the next Reset Date will be the percentage rate per annum equal
to the Benchmark Rate that is determined on that Reset Date plus the
Margin plus the Step-up Margin.
A different Interest Rate may apply if a Successful Election Process has
been completed in relation to a Reset Date (see the section titled “Election
Process” below). If this occurs, the Interest Rate will be set out in the
relevant Election Notice (as defined below).
Step-up Margin0.25%.
Discretionary Deferral of InterestGenesis may, in its absolute discretion, defer any payment of interest on the
Capital Bonds that is scheduled to be paid on any Interest Payment Date for
up to five years by notifying Bondholders. If an interest payment is not paid
on its due date, notice of its deferral is deemed to be given.
If any interest payment is deferred, interest will accrue daily (at the Interest
Rate then applicable to the Capital Bonds) on the amount of that deferred
interest payment until (but excluding) the date on which that deferred
interest payment together with all accrued interest on that deferred
interest payment (Accrued Interest and, together with the deferred
interest payment, the Unpaid Interest) is paid in full. Accrued Interest
will compound on each Interest Payment Date, meaning interest will then
accrue on the deferred interest payment plus the previously accumulated
interest.
Genesis’ right to defer interest does not apply to interest that is due to be
paid on the Maturity Date or an early Redemption Date.
Deferral of interest as described in this section is not an Event of Default
and does not give rise to a claim under the Guarantee.
Payment of Unpaid InterestIf an interest payment has been deferred as described above, Genesis:
(a) may, in its absolute discretion, pay all or part of the Unpaid Interest
on any subsequent Interest Payment Date; and
(b) must pay in full any Unpaid Interest that remains outstanding on the
earlier of the Maturity Date and the fifth anniversary of the Interest
Payment Date on which the deferral of the relevant interest payment
occurred,
in each case, to the relevant Bondholders as at the Record Date immediately
preceding the date of payment.
Distribution StopperWhile any Unpaid Interest remains outstanding, Genesis must not:
(a) unless approved by Bondholders by way of an Extraordinary
Resolution, pay any dividend on, or make any other distribution in
respect of, or pay any interest on, any shares or securities ranking, in
liquidation, equally with or after the Capital Bonds; and
(b) without the consent of the Supervisor, acquire, redeem or repay any
of Genesis’ shares or other securities ranking, in liquidation, equally
with or after the Capital Bonds (or provide financial assistance for the
acquisition of such shares or securities),
(together, the Restrictions on Deferral).
6
Election ProcessNo earlier than six months and not later than 30 Business Days before any
Reset Date, Genesis may give to each Bondholder a notice (Election Notice)
specifying new terms and conditions (New Conditions) (including, for
example, a new Margin) proposed to apply to the Capital Bonds from the
next Reset Date. An Election Notice will request each Bondholder to make
an election to accept or reject the New Conditions that are proposed to
apply from the relevant Reset Date. Each Bondholder can elect to accept
or reject the New Conditions in respect of all or some of the Bondholder’s
Capital Bonds.
To make an election, a Bondholder must return a duly completed Election
Notice within the period specified in the Election Notice, which must be at
least 10 Business Days before the relevant Reset Date (Notification Date).
A Bondholder will be deemed to have accepted the New Conditions if
Genesis does not receive a properly completed Election Notice from that
Bondholder on or before the Notification Date.
Within five Business Days of the Notification Date, Genesis must determine
(in its absolute discretion) whether the Election Process has been
successful. If Genesis declares a Successful Election Process, on the Reset
Date, Genesis must purchase each Capital Bond in respect of which a
Bondholder has rejected the New Conditions. The purchase price for each
such Capital Bond is an amount equal to the Principal Amount ($1.00) plus
all accrued but unpaid interest (including any Unpaid Interest). Genesis may
choose to establish a resale facility (Resale Facility) to seek buyers for those
Capital Bonds on the Reset Date.
If a Successful Election Process is declared, the New Conditions will apply
from the relevant Reset Date.
If Genesis does not wish to purchase all Capital Bonds in respect of which
Bondholders have rejected the New Conditions, then Genesis must declare
that a Successful Election Process has not occurred, in which case the
existing terms and conditions will continue to apply, all Capital Bonds will
remain outstanding and any transfers arranged through the Resale Facility
will be cancelled.
Mandatory RedemptionGenesis must redeem all the Capital Bonds on the Maturity Date.
If an Event of Default occurs, Genesis must redeem all the Capital Bonds on
the Business Day following the Event of Default.
For each Capital Bond redeemed, Genesis must pay to the relevant
Bondholder an amount equal to the Principal Amount ($1.00) plus all
accrued but unpaid interest (including any Unpaid Interest).
7
Optional Early Redemption by
Genesis
Genesis has the right to redeem:
(a) all or some of the Capital Bonds on any Reset Date; or
(b) all or some of the Capital Bonds on any Interest Payment Date after a
Reset Date if a Successful Election Process has not been undertaken
in respect of that Reset Date; or
(c) all (but not some only) of the Capital Bonds if a Change of Control
Event (as defined below) occurs; or
(d) all or some of the Capital Bonds if a Tax Event or a Rating Agency
Event (each as defined below) occurs.
For each Capital Bond redeemed under paragraph (a) or (d) above, Genesis
must pay to the relevant Bondholder an amount equal to the Principal
Amount ($1.00) plus all accrued but unpaid interest (including any Unpaid
Interest).
For each Capital Bond redeemed under paragraph (b) or (c) above, Genesis
must pay to the relevant Bondholder an amount equal to the greater of:
(a) the Principal Amount ($1.00) plus all accrued but unpaid interest
(including any Unpaid Interest); and
(b) the market value of the Capital Bonds (as determined in accordance
with the Capital Bonds Trust Deed) plus all accrued but unpaid
interest.
If Genesis wishes to redeem some (but not all) of the Capital Bonds, it can
only do so if there will be at least 100,000,000 Capital Bonds outstanding
after the partial redemption. Any partial redemption will be done on a
proportionate basis and may include adjustments to take account of the
effect on marketable parcels and other logistical considerations.
Change of Control EventIn summary, a Change of Control Event will occur if the Shareholding
Ministers:
(a) hold 50% or less of the issued ordinary voting shares of Genesis; or
(b) cease to be able to nominate and appoint at least 50% of the
directors of the board of Genesis; or
(c) cease to control the exercise of more than 50% of the maximum
number of votes that can be exercised at a shareholder meeting of
Genesis.
Tax EventIn summary, a Tax Event will occur if Genesis receives an opinion from a
reputable legal counsel or tax adviser that, as a result of any change or
clarification in any law, treaties or regulations, the interest payments on the
Capital Bonds would no longer be fully deductible for tax purposes.
Rating Agency EventIn summary, a Rating Agency Event will occur if Genesis:
(a) receives notice from S&P that, as a result of a change in criteria,
the Capital Bonds will no longer be assigned an Intermediate Equity
Content classification; or
(b) ceases to hold an Issuer Credit Rating from S&P.
8
Holder Put Event – early
redemption at the election of
Bondholders
In summary, a Holder Put Event will occur if both a Change of Control
Event and an associated Rating Downgrade (defined below) occurs. If a
Holder Put Event occurs, Genesis must notify Bondholders of that event
and whether Genesis has elected to redeem all outstanding Capital Bonds
(Holder Put Event Notice).
If Genesis has not elected to redeem all outstanding Capital Bonds, then
each Bondholder may, within 20 days after the date of receipt of the Holder
Put Event Notice, elect that Genesis must redeem all (but not only some) of
the Capital Bonds held by that Bondholder.
If, as a result of Bondholders exercising their election, less than
100,000,000 Capital Bonds would remain outstanding following the early
redemption, Genesis may exercise a clean-up call and redeem all remaining
Capital Bonds at the same time.
For each Capital Bond redeemed, Genesis must pay an amount equal to the
Principal Amount ($1.00) plus all accrued but unpaid interest (including any
Unpaid Interest) to the relevant Bondholder.
Rating DowngradeIn summary, a Rating Downgrade will occur if, as a result in whole or part of
the Change of Control Event:
(a) Genesis ceases to hold an Issuer Credit Rating from S&P; or
(b) S&P lowers Genesis’ Issuer Credit Rating by at least one ratings notch
and the resulting Issuer Credit Rating is lower than BBB+,
within the period commencing on the date the Change of Control
occurred (or the date on which a public announcement relating to any
potential Change of Control is made) and ending 90 days after the date of
announcement that the Change of Control occurred.
Events of DefaultThe following Events of Default will result in the Capital Bonds becoming
immediately redeemable:
(a) Genesis fails to pay any Unpaid Interest by the fifth anniversary of its
original date of deferral;
(b) Genesis fails to comply with the Restrictions on Deferral;
(c) Genesis fails to give Bondholders and the Supervisor notice following
the occurrence of a Holder Put Event;
(d) Genesis fails to pay any amount required to be paid on the
redemption of the Capital Bonds;
(e) Genesis fails to pay any amount required to be paid in connection
with an Election Process; or
(f) an insolvency officer (for example, a liquidator, receiver or statutory
manager) is appointed to Genesis.
9
Change of Control Event
Ranking on LiquidationOn a liquidation of Genesis amounts owing to Bondholders rank equally
with all other unsecured, subordinated obligations of Genesis. The Capital
Bonds rank behind Genesis’ bank debt, senior bonds, commercial paper, US
private placement notes and any amounts owing to unsubordinated general
and trade creditors, as well as liabilities preferred by law and any secured
indebtedness. The ranking of the Capital Bonds on a liquidation of Genesis
is summarised in the diagram below.

indicative amounts set out in the diagram above. Amounts above are
subject to rounding adjustments.
2. This represents the total liabilities of the Genesis consolidated
group at 31 December 2022, other than the GNE050 Bonds and
the GNE070 Bonds. It includes amounts corresponding to deferred
tax (approximately $885 million), derivative financial instruments
(approximately $121 million) and lease liabilities (approximately $116
million) not all of which would be crystallised on liquidation. Such
liabilities on liquidation may be materially different.
3. This excludes the GNE050 Bonds which will be redeemed in full if the
bookbuild for the Offer is successful.

Use of Capital 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 Capital 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 (including the GNE050 Bonds).
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 Capital
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 Capital Bonds
issued under this Offer) (Eligible Asset Register).
A copy of Genesis’ Sustainable Finance Framework is available at
www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investor/results-and-reports/reports-and-
presentations under the heading “Genesis Sustainable Finance Framework
2021”.
A copy of the most recent Eligible Asset Register is contained in Genesis’
Sustainable Finance Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2022,
which is available at www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investor/results-and-
reports/reports-and-presentations under the heading “FY22 Sustainable
Finance Report”.
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 Capital 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 and the
existing Eligible Assets 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 at
www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investor/results-and-reports/reports-and-
presentations under the heading “Genesis Sustainable Finance Framework
and Bond 2023 DNV SPO”.
At least once after the Capital Bonds are issued (or annually if Genesis
considers it 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 Capital Bonds with the
Green Bond Principles and the Sustainable Finance Framework.
11
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 Capital 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 Capital 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 Bondholders that the Capital Bonds cease to
comply with the Sustainable Finance Framework or the Green Bond
Principles,
then, although it is possible that the Capital Bonds may lose their green
classification:
− no Event of Default will occur in relation to the Capital Bonds; and
− neither the Bondholders nor Genesis will have any right for the
Capital Bonds to be repaid early as a result of any such event or
circumstance.
Minimum Application Amount and
Minimum Holding
Minimum application of $5,000 with multiples of $1,000 thereafter.
Transfer RestrictionsAs a Bondholder, you may only transfer Capital Bonds if the transfer is
in respect of Capital Bonds having an aggregate Principal Amount that
is an integral multiple of $1,000. However, Genesis will not register any
transfer of Capital Bonds if the transfer would result in the transferor or the
transferee holding or continuing to hold Capital Bonds with an aggregate
Principal Amount of less than $5,000, unless the transferor would then hold
no Capital Bonds.
NZX Debt Market QuotationGenesis will take any necessary steps to ensure that the Capital Bonds are,
immediately after issue, quoted on the NZX Debt Market.
Application has been made to NZX for permission to quote the Capital
Bonds on the NZX Debt Market and all the requirements of NZX relating

AIL / NRWTGenesis proposes to register the Capital Bonds for approved issuer levy
(AIL), which would be payable in lieu of deducting New Zealand non-
resident withholding tax (NRWT). If the Capital Bonds qualify for the 0%
rate of AIL, Genesis intends to apply the 0% rate. Payments of AIL will be
deducted from the interest payable to Bondholders, to whom NRWT would
otherwise apply.
Voting RightsNone.

required (other than New Zealand). The Capital Bonds may only be offered
for sale or sold in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in any

14
Risks in relation to the
Capital Bonds
An investment in the Capital Bonds is subject to
the risks that:
(i) Genesis becomes insolvent and is unable to
meet its obligations under the Capital Bonds;
and
(ii) if the investor wishes to sell the Capital
Bonds before maturity, the risk that the
investor is unable to find a buyer or that the
amount received is less than the amount paid
for the Capital Bonds.
Capital Bonds are complex financial products that
are not suitable for many investors. You should
carefully consider the features of the Capital
Bonds, which differ from the features of a standard
senior bond. Those features include the ability
of Genesis to defer interest, optional redemption
rights for Genesis, an election process and the
subordinated nature of the Capital Bonds. Key
risks concerning those features are set out in more
detail below.
This summary does not cover all of the risks of
investing in the Capital Bonds. For example, whilst
certain risks in relation to the Capital Bonds are
set out in more detail below, those risks relating to
Genesis, rather than the Capital Bonds themselves,
are not set out below on the basis that information
relating to Genesis and its operations is disclosed
to the market already pursuant to Genesis’
continuous disclosure obligations under the NZX
Listing Rules. Also, the summary below sets out
the risks in relation to the Capital Bonds that differ
from risks in relation to standard senior bonds. It
does not cover the risks that are common to both
the Capital Bonds and standard senior bonds (such
as risks around liquidity and your ability to sell the
Capital Bonds at a given price, or at all).
You should carefully consider these risk factors
(together with the other information in this Terms
Sheet) before deciding to invest in the Capital
Bonds. If you do not fully understand how the
Capital Bonds work or the risks associated with
them, you should not invest in them.
The statement of risks in this Terms Sheet
also does not take account of the personal
circumstances, financial position or investment
requirements of any particular investor. It is
important, therefore, that before making any
investment decision, you consider the suitability of
an investment in the Capital Bonds in light of your
individual risk profile for investments, investment
objectives and personal circumstances (including
financial and taxation issues).
The Interest Rate for the Capital Bonds should
also reflect the degree of credit risk. In general,
higher returns are demanded by investors from
businesses with higher risk of defaulting on their
commitments. You need to decide whether the
Offer of Capital Bonds is fair.
You should speak to your financial adviser about
the risks involved with an investment in the Capital
Bonds.
Deferral of interest payments
There is a risk that interest payments on the
Capital Bonds will be deferred by Genesis for
a period of up to five years, as described in the
section titled “Discretionary Deferral of Interest”
above.
Genesis has an absolute discretion to defer the
payment of interest on the Capital Bonds, and
holders will not have an immediate redemption
right in those circumstances. Any deferral of
interest payments is likely to have an adverse
effect on the market price of the Capital Bonds.
The market price of the Capital Bonds may also
be more sensitive generally to adverse changes
in Genesis’ financial condition than other debt
securities which are not subject to such deferrals.
Interest Rate may go down
There is a risk that, when the Interest Rate on the
Capital Bonds is reset on a Reset Date, it may be
lower than the Interest Rate that applied during the
prior period.
15
16
Long term investment
The Capital Bonds are a long-term investment that
are scheduled to be redeemed on the Maturity
Date (10 July 2053). While Genesis has certain
rights to redeem the Capital Bonds early (see
the section titled “Optional Early Redemption
by Genesis” above), you should not assume that
Genesis will exercise these rights. There is no
certainty that Genesis will choose to redeem the
Capital Bonds on a Reset Date or if a Change of
Control Event, a Tax Event or a Rating Agency
Event occurs.
Bondholders have no right to request Genesis to
redeem the Capital Bonds early unless a Holder Put
Event has occurred (see the section titled “Holder
Put Event – early redemption at the election of
Bondholders” above).
Redemption prior to the Maturity
Date
Although the Capital Bonds have a term of 30
years, Genesis may choose to, or be required
to, redeem the Capital Bonds early in certain
circumstances (see the section titled “Optional
Early Redemption by Genesis” above).
If Genesis is entitled to or is required to redeem
any of the Capital Bonds, the method and date
by which Genesis elects or is required to do so
may not accord with the preference of individual
Bondholders. This may be disadvantageous in light
of market conditions or a Bondholder’s individual
circumstances.
The Capital Bonds are
subordinated and unsecured
The Capital Bonds rank behind all of Genesis’
unsubordinated obligations. In a liquidation of
Genesis, the holders of the Capital Bonds would be
paid only after all amounts owing by Genesis to its
unsubordinated creditors were paid in full.
Genesis’ unsubordinated creditors include
creditors that are mandatorily preferred by law
and its bankers, holders of senior bonds, holders of
commercial paper, holders of US private placement
notes, and general and trade unsubordinated
creditors. After payment of those amounts, there
may be insufficient funds available to the liquidator
to repay all or any of the amounts owing on the
Capital Bonds.
Supervisor’s enforcement rights
Investors should be aware that even if the right to
seek repayment of the Capital Bonds is exercised
following the occurrence of an Event of Default
or a Holder Put Event, the Supervisor has very
limited powers to enforce these rights given the
subordinated nature of the Capital Bonds. For
example, the Supervisor has no ability to appoint
a receiver with a view to recovering amounts
due to Bondholders and is only entitled to file a
conditional claim in the event of the liquidation
of Genesis requiring repayment of the Capital
Bonds after all prior ranking indebtedness has been
repaid in full.
The Supervisor has no rights under the Capital
Bonds Trust Deed if any Guarantor becomes
insolvent.
Limited rights of Bondholders to
enforce directly
Bondholders are not able to enforce their rights
under the Capital Bonds Trust Deed (including
the Guarantee) directly against Genesis or any
Guarantor unless the Supervisor fails to do so
having become bound to enforce those rights in
accordance with the Capital Bonds Trust Deed.
