First Interest Payment:As noted above, although the first Interest Payment Date is 31 July 2023, because that is
the same date as the Issue Date, no interest will have accrued and no interest will be payable
on that date. The first date on which interest will be paid on the Infrastructure Bonds is

Interest Suspension and Dividend
Stopper:
Infratil may suspend the payment of interest where an Interest Suspension Event exists.
If the payment of interest is suspended:
(a) interest will continue to accrue (without compounding) and will be paid by Infratil when
the Interest Suspension Event ceases to exist; and
(b) Infratil will not pay or make any distribution to shareholders or provide any financial
assistance for the acquisition of shares in Infratil.
Interest Suspension Events:In summary, an Interest Suspension Event may occur if:
(a) the interest payment would be likely to breach the solvency test in section 4 of the
Companies Act 1993;
(b) the interest payment would be likely to result in a breach of the terms or conditions of
other financial indebtedness incurred by Infratil or certain of its subsidiaries; or
(c) the interest payment would be likely to result in a breach of any other legal obligation by
Infratil or certain of its subsidiaries.
Right to Redeem Early:Infratil has the right to redeem all or some of the Infrastructure Bonds prior to the Maturity
Date by giving you no less than 5 Business Days' notice. Infratil may not exercise this right if:
(a) the Supervisor has declared the Infrastructure Bonds due and payable because an event
of default as described in clause 8.1 of the Trust Deed exists; or
(b) the notice of early redemption is given at a time on or after the day falling 25 Business
Days before the Maturity Date.
You have no right of early redemption except following an Early Redemption Event.
Redemption Price:Redemption on the Maturity Date or following an Early Redemption Event
Each Infrastructure Bond redeemed on the Maturity Date, or earlier following an Early
Redemption Event, will be redeemed at an amount equal to its Face Value less all withholding
tax or deductions required to be made.
Early Redemption
If an Infrastructure Bond is redeemed early due to Infratil exercising its right to redeem early,
it will be redeemed at an amount equal to the greater of:
(a) its Face Value plus accrued but unpaid interest; and
(b) the current market price of the Infrastructure Bonds (determined in accordance with
clause 6.1(l)(ii) of the Trust Deed),
in each case less all withholdings or deductions required to be made.
Early Redemption Events:In summary, an Early Redemption Event may occur if:
(a) an event of default as described in clause 8.1 of the Trust Deed occurs; or
(b) certain takeover offers are made in respect of the shares in Infratil.
In general terms, the events of default include non-payment for 14 days or more and the
occurrence of certain insolvency related events in relation to Infratil.
Key Terms of the
Infrastructure Bonds

Liabilities to Assets Covenant:Infratil has agreed for the benefit of Bondholders that, on the last day of each financial year
and financial half-year of Infratil (and in certain other circumstances), Borrowed Money
Indebtedness of the Issuer Group (being Infratil and certain of its 100% owned subsidiaries)
will not exceed 50% of Tangible Assets of Infratil and its subsidiaries as at that date.
Ranking of Infrastructure Bonds:The Infrastructure Bonds are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Infratil.
This means that in a liquidation of Infratil your rights and claims as a Bondholder:
(a) will rank after the claims of (i) secured creditors of Infratil (if any), and (ii) creditors
of Infratil who are preferred by law (e.g. the Inland Revenue Department in respect of
unpaid tax);
(b) will rank equally with the claims of all other unsecured, unsubordinated creditors of
Infratil; and
(c) will rank in priority to the claims of (i) subordinated creditors of Infratil (if any) (being
creditors who have agreed to accept a lower priority in respect of their claims in a
liquidation of Infratil), and (ii) shareholders.
Infratil is a holding company with investments in various companies. Bondholders have no
claims against, or recourse to the assets of, any of those companies. Infratil's ability to
make timely payments on the Infrastructure Bonds is dependent on the returns it receives
from its investments, its capital structure and the quality of its management.
In a liquidation of the Infratil group, creditors of Infratil's subsidiaries and associates (including
lenders) would have a prior claim to the assets of those companies ranking ahead of the
claim of Infratil's liquidator (claiming as shareholder in the companies). Only the residual
assets of the companies, after the claims of the companies' creditors have been satisfied,
would be available to Infratil's liquidator and therefore Infratil's creditors (including
Bondholders).
No Guarantee:The Infrastructure Bonds are not guaranteed by any member of the Infratil group or any
other person.
Minimum Application Amount:Minimum application of $5,000 with multiples of $1,000 thereafter.
ISIN:NZIFTD0330L7.
Business Day:A day on which NZX is open for trading. If any Interest Payment Date or the Maturity Date falls
on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for the payment to be made on that date will
be on the immediately preceding Business Day, but the amount paid will not be adjusted.
Who May Apply:All Infrastructure Bonds (including oversubscriptions) were reserved for the clients of
the Joint Lead Managers, approved financial intermediaries and other primary market
participants invited to participate in the bookbuild, who are New Zealand residents.
There was no public pool for the Infrastructure Bonds.
