Resolution 5
a. That all work on the decommissioning of the Marsden Point

Refinery be suspended once the safety of staff and contractors

have been addressed, pending the delivery of an independent

report by an appropriately qualified engineering firm, on the

costs, benefits and estimated schedule of reinstating the refinery

to operating capability, assuming market conditions, including

operating costs and customer demand, that were in effect

across 2017.

b. That such report be allocated a budget of NZ$100,000 with a

delivery time of 6 months from the time the contract is let.

c. That the Board direct management to issue a request for

proposals and seek invitations for tender for consideration within

2 months of the meeting date (30 April 2024).

d. That the report be provided to all Shareholders with a

recommendation from Management for consideration at a

Special Meeting to be called within 25 working days of receipt of

the Report.

Reasons for Board’s recommendation against Resolution 5
•Channel is supportive of improving fuel security and is willing and able to invest in financially viable proposals:

•discussions with Government and customers are underway for additional fuel storage

•manufacturing SAF represents a better longer-term option, including highly-skilled job growth in Northland

•Restarting the refinery is not feasible:

•extensiveinvestigation over 2020-2021 of refinery business resulting in 99% of shareholders voting in favourof

import terminal model

•strong cashflows and confidence in long-term outlook has allowed a return to dividends and significantly higher

total shareholder return

•refinery cannot be restarted without significant capital expenditureand recruiting a new workforce

•rebuilding a modern refinery is not within our financial capacity and would risk availability of finance and solvency

•investing shareholder funds (even if they were available) necessary to recommence refining operations cannot be

justified by a company board on a commercial basis, having regard to their directors’ duties under the Companies

Act.

•Envisory forecasts suggests that New Zealand would be best to import its precise energy needs rather than have

surplus product. This change in mix of demand presents real technical challenges in operating a refinery to

manufacture jet fuel and diesel, while minimisingpetrol output

Resolution 6
That MrKarl Barkley, who is nominated as a director by a

Shareholder of the Company in accordance with Listing

Rule 2.3.1, be elected as a Director of the Company.

Resolution 7
That MrDaniel Reurich, who is nominated as a director by

Rule 2.3.1, be elected as a Director of the Company.
