Director changes at Channel Infrastructure

Channel Infrastructure announces the appointment by the Board of Andrew Brewer as a Director of the
Company, effective 6 December 2023, replacing Lindis Jones, who retires on the same day.

Andrew is highly experienced in world-class terminal operations and petroleum operations leadership,
and previously served as Chief Operating Officer at Refining NZ, during the company’s Strategic Review.
He is currently Executive General Manager, Fuel Supply Chain, at Ampol Limited.

Andrew has led refinery and terminal operations in Australia, New Zealand and Canada. In his current
role, Andrew’s responsibilities include Ampol’s national terminals network infrastructure, consisting of
15 terminals and one refinery. The Kurnell Terminal, which transitioned under Andrew’s leadership
from a refinery some years ago, is the largest in the southern hemisphere. Andrew has more than 20-
years’ experience in leading terminals and fuel supply chain businesses and is well placed to add
significant value to Channel Infrastructure.

The company’s recent strategy refresh identified becoming a world class terminal operator as a key
strategic pillar. Having decided to place priority on this skill set, the Board conducted an international
search process to find the very best candidate to support the company’s refreshed strategy. Andrew is
well known and highly regarded in the midstream oil and gas sector, with significant experience in
managing terminals and terminal conversions.

Chairman, James Miller said:
“We are delighted to welcome Andrew back to Channel Infrastructure, where he will bring significant
experience in world-class terminal operations, as well as deep knowledge of health and safety practises,
and operational excellence. Andrew significantly bolsters our Board capacity as a terminal and
infrastructure specialist, following the reset of our company strategy and strong focus on achieving
world-class terminal operations.

At the same time, given his long career within the fuels industry, and his wide network across Australasia,
Andrew will provide extra focus on future fuels, at a time when the industry is looking at how it will play
its part in solving the decarbonisation challenge. Andrew is highly regarded by the Board and Channel
staff alike, and is passionate about our business, and we are delighted he has agreed to step onto our
board at this time.”

Commenting, Andrew Brewer said:
“I am thrilled to be rejoining my former colleagues at Channel Infrastructure in a governance role, and I
am excited about the opportunity to share my knowledge of terminal operations to support the Channel
team to achieve their goal of becoming a world-class operator. I am passionate about the future of
downstream fuels, and I see our industry going through significant transformation as the world
collectively seeks to decarbonise. Channel Infrastructure is at the forefront of that transformation in New
Zealand, and I look forward to supporting the company as we step into this exciting future.”

James Miller added:
“I also want to thank outgoing director Lindis Jones for his over 5-years of service to the Board,
particularly during the pandemic which was a particularly challenging period for the company. His
unique insights into the downstream fuels industry in New Zealand and outstanding contribution to the
Audit & Finance Committee will be missed. I join with my fellow directors in wishing Lindis all the best
for the future.”

The Board has determined that Andrew will not be an Independent Director for the purposes of the NZX
Listing Rules, as he is a senior employee of Ampol and a director of Z Energy Limited. The Board

considers director independence on an annual basis, and five of the seven directors on the Channel
Infrastructure Board continue to be Independent Directors.

Andrew will serve on the Health, Safety, Environment and Operations Committee of the Board. As a
director appointed by the Board, Andrew will be subject to re-election at the next Annual Shareholders
Meeting of Channel Infrastructure.
