Genesis Energy Limited – Redemption Notice of GNE050 Capital Bonds
30 June 2023
We are writing to you as a holder of existing Genesis Energy Limited (Genesis) subordinated capital bonds
which are quoted on the NZX Debt Market under the ticker GNE050 (GNE050 Bonds). The terms and
conditions applicable to your GNE050 Bonds are set out in the capital bonds trust deed originally dated 18
June 2018 (as amended from time to time) (Trust Deed).
Redemption on the First Reset Date (17 July 2023)
In accordance with the Trust Deed, Genesis may elect to redeem the GNE050 Bonds on 17 July 2023 (being the
first business day after the First Reset Date of 16 July 2023, which is a Sunday).
Accordingly, notice is hereby given that, pursuant to clause 3.3(a) of Schedule 2 of the Trust Deed, Genesis has
elected to redeem all of the GNE050 Bonds on 17 July 2023 that are not otherwise redeemed on 10 July 2023
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 (NZ$1.00) plus the final quarterly interest
payment.
Exchange Mechanism
Genesis has successfully closed the offer (Offer) of its new subordinated capital bonds (New Capital Bonds),
which are scheduled to be issued on 10 July 2023 (Issue Date).
As described in the final terms sheet for the Offer (published by Genesis via NZX on 29 June 2023), holders of
GNE050 Bonds that are held through a custodial account (and who wish to re-invest in the New Capital Bonds)
(Custodial GNE050 Bondholders) may be able to exchange all or some of their GNE050 Bonds for an equal
number of New Capital Bonds on the Issue Date (on a one-for-one basis at a face value of NZ$1.00). This
mechanism is only 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 (rather than on 17 July 2023 as described
above under the heading "Redemption on the First Reset Date (17 July 2023)");
(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.
If you participated in Genesis' new Offer and receive an allocation of New Capital Bonds, we welcome your
continued support and investment. If you did not participate in the new Offer or otherwise do not receive an
allocation of New Capital Bonds, we thank you for your original investment in the GNE050 Bonds and would
welcome your consideration of any offers we make in the future.
