NZX RELEASE

30 October 2023


Channel Infrastructure launches unsecured, unsubordinated, fixed rate bond offer


Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited (Channel Infrastructure) confirmed today that it is offering up to

$75,000,000 (with the ability to accept oversubscriptions of up to an additional $25,000,000 at Channel

Infrastructure’s discretion) of 6 year, unsecured, unsubordinated, fixed rate bonds (Bonds) maturing

on 14 November 2029 to investors resident in New Zealand and institutional investors.


The offer opens today, 30 October 2023, and is expected to close on 3 November 2023 at 11am (New

Zealand time).


The interest rate will be set as the sum of the underlying swap rate plus the issue margin, subject to a

minimum interest rate of 6.75% per annum. The indicative issue margin range for the Bonds is 1.70%

to 1.85% per annum. The actual issue margin will be set following a bookbuild process and may be

above, below or within that indicative range.


An announcement of the interest rate is expected to be made via NZX on 3 November 2023. The terms

sheet will be updated to include the interest rate, the issue margin and the issue amount and will be

released on the same day. The Bonds are expected to be issued on 14 November 2023 (Issue Date).


Channel Infrastructure has the right to redeem its subordinated notes which are quoted on the NZX

Debt Market under the ticker code CHI010 (Subordinated Notes) on 1 March 2024 (being the first

scheduled election date) and intends to do so if the offer is successful.


Subordinated noteholders that hold Subordinated Notes through a custodial account (and who wish to

apply for the Bonds) (Custodial Subordinated Noteholders) may be able to exchange all or some of

their Subordinated Notes for an equal number of Bonds on the Issue Date of the Bonds (on a one-for-

one basis at a face value of $1.00).


Holders of Subordinated Notes who do not hold those Subordinated Notes through a custodial account,

and who are interested in potentially participating in the exchange mechanism, should contact their

usual financial advice provider as soon as possible to discuss whether their holding can be moved to a

custodial account.


This exchange mechanism will only be available to a Custodial Subordinated Noteholder if:


(a) the Custodial Subordinated Noteholder receives an allocation of Bonds from a participant in the

bookbuild for the offer; and


(b) Channel Infrastructure and the relevant participant (acting on the authorisation of the Custodial

Subordinated Noteholder) have agreed to the exchange in respect of an agreed number of

Subordinated Notes (Exchanged Subordinated Notes).


For the avoidance of doubt, the exchange mechanism does not restrict:


(a) a Custodial Subordinated Noteholder from seeking to invest in more or less Bonds under the

offer than the number of Subordinated Notes beneficially held by the Custodial Subordinated

Noteholder; or


channelnz.com

(b) any other holder of Subordinated Notes (that is not a Custodial Subordinated Noteholder) from

seeking to invest in the Bonds under the offer.


Any Exchanged Subordinated Notes purchased by Channel Infrastructure under the exchange

mechanism will be cancelled. This will reduce the total amount of Subordinated Notes outstanding which

may impact trading of the Subordinated Notes on the secondary NZX Debt Market.


To allow for an orderly settlement, a trading halt in respect of the Subordinated Notes will occur from

pre-market trading on Monday, 6 November 2023 (being the first trading day following the rate set date)

to pre-market trading on Wednesday, 15 November 2023 (being the expected date of initial quotation

of the Bonds).


There is no public pool for the offer, with all of the Bonds being reserved for clients of the Joint Lead

Managers, Primary Market Participants and other approved financial intermediaries.


The offer is being made pursuant to the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 as an offer of debt

securities of the same class as Channel Infrastructure’s existing quoted debt securities which are

quoted on the NZX Debt Market under the ticker code CHI020. The notice required by the Financial

Markets Conduct Regulations 2014 has been provided to NZX with this announcement. The Bonds are

expected to be quoted on the NZX Debt Market on 15 November 2023 under ticker code CHI030.


Full details of the offer are contained in the indicative terms sheet. A copy of the indicative terms sheet,

along with an investor presentation, are attached and also available through

www.channelnz.com/investor-centre/bond-offer.


Interested investors should contact a Joint Lead Manager (details below) or their usual financial advice

provider.

Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | Indicative terms sheet

Exchange Mechanism
If the bookbuild for the Offer is successful, Subordinated Noteholders that hold

Subordinated Notes through a custodial account and who wish to apply for the

Bonds (Custodial Subordinated Noteholders) may be able to exchange all or some

of their Subordinated Notes for an equal number of Bonds on the Issue Date (on a

one-for-one basis at a face value of $1.00).

This Exchange Mechanism will only be available to a Custodial Subordinated

Noteholder if:

a) the Custodial Subordinated Noteholder receives an allocation of Bonds from a

participant in the bookbuild for the Offer; and

b) Channel Infrastructure and the relevant participant (acting on the authorisation of

the Custodial Subordinated Noteholder) have agreed to the exchange in respect of

an agreed number of Subordinated Notes (Exchanged Subordinated Notes).

Channel Infrastructure will purchase the Exchanged Subordinated Notes on the

Issue Date (14 November 2023) (rather than redeem them on 1 March 2024 as

described above under the heading “Redemption of Subordinated Notes if the Offer

is successful”).

Channel Infrastructure will satisfy its obligation to purchase the Exchanged

Subordinated Notes on the Issue Date by:

a) issuing Bonds to the relevant custodian (that maintains the custodial account on

behalf of its Custodial Subordinated Noteholder participating in the Exchange

Mechanism) equal in number to the Exchanged Subordinated Notes purchased

from the relevant custodian (on a one-for-one basis); and

b) paying a final interest payment on the Exchanged Subordinated Notes for the

Bonds that are issued under the Exchange Mechanism.

will be satisfied once it has issued the relevant number of Bonds and paid the final

interest payment referred to in paragraph (b) above.

Any Exchanged Subordinated Notes purchased by Channel Infrastructure under the

Exchange Mechanism will be cancelled in accordance with the Trust Documents. This

will reduce the total amount of Subordinated Notes outstanding which may impact

trading of the Subordinated Notes on the secondary NZX Debt Market.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Exchange Mechanism does not restrict:

a) a Custodial Subordinated Noteholder from seeking to invest in more or less Bonds

under the Offer than the number of Subordinated Notes beneficially held by the

Custodial Subordinated Noteholder; or

b) any other Subordinated Noteholder (that is not a Custodial Subordinated

Noteholder) from seeking to invest in the Bonds under the Offer.

The Issue Price for each Bond that is not otherwise settled under the Exchange

Mechanism must be cash settled on the Issue Date.

Retail investors (including Subordinated Noteholders) who wish to participate in the

Offer and invest in the Bonds (including under the Exchange Mechanism, to the extent

available to that investor) 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 Bonds” and “How to apply” for further information.

regulatory levies, duties or imposts, rights of set off and netting and deferred purchase

may, in addition, from time to time create or permit to subsist other security interests

over their assets provided that the aggregate principal amount secured by all such

other security interests does not exceed 7.5% of the Total Tangible Assets of the

consolidated Channel Infrastructure Group.

Our infrastructure will help fuel NZ's future to2050 and beyond

Long-term customer contracts
•Initial term of 10-years, with two 5-year rights of renewal

•Fixed and minimum fee components

•Third-party access to unutilised Marsden Point-to-Auckland Pipeline

capacity after 1 April 2025

•Key customers are strong counterparties

[3]

Revenue outlook

•All import terminal fees subject to indexation which provides protection

through inflationary cycles

•Take-or-pay underwrites minimum revenue –but future revenue will be

based on throughput

•Take-or-pay was set at a higher level for first three years, to enable the

conversion to be debt-funded and allowing a recovery in demand post

COVID

•In 1H23, revenue was marginally higher than the pro-rata Take-or-pay

•Volumes expected to continue to increase over the next few years, in

line with Envisory’s fuel outlook –this would mean total revenue would

exceed the Take-or-pay underwrite
