accelerated renounceable entitlement offer (the Offer) opens today at 10.00am (NZ time) for eligible

Channel Infrastructure retail shareholders.

Eligible retail shareholders are shareholders recorded on Channel Infrastructure's register as at

Australia; and

b) are not in the United States and are not acting for the account or benefit of a person in the

Eligible retail shareholders will be able to subscribe for 1 new share for every 12.12 existing Channel

Infrastructure shares held as at 5.00pm (NZ time) on Tuesday, 26 November 2024, at an offer price of

$1.60 per new share (Offer Price).

Eligible retail shareholders may apply for all, some or none of their pro rata entitlements under the

Offer in accordance with the terms set out in the Offer Document, without incurring brokerage costs.

In addition, eligible retail shareholders who have taken up their entitlements in full can apply for

additional new shares (i.e., shares in excess of their pro rata entitlements) that will be offered for sale

in the Retail Bookbuild (described below). The price for any such additional new shares issued to

such eligible retail shareholders will be the clearing price of the Retail Bookbuild which may be equal

to or above the Offer Price. Full details of the Retail Entitlement Offer are contained in the Offer

Document, which is available online at www.shareoffer.co.nz/channel.

New shares representing entitlements not taken up by eligible retail shareholders under the Retail

Entitlement Offer or entitlements attributable to ineligible retail shareholders will be offered for sale

through a bookbuild conducted by Forsyth Barr Limited on Wednesday, 11 December 2024 (the

Retail Bookbuild). Institutional investors and brokers will be invited to participate in the Retail

Bookbuild. In addition, as noted above, any applications for additional new shares from eligible retail

shareholders who have taken up their entitlements in full (i.e. shares in excess of their pro rata

entitlements) will be included in the Retail Bookbuild. The allocation policy for the Retail Bookbuild is

described in the Offer Document.

Retail shareholders who do not take up their entitlements in full or who are ineligible to participate will

receive (net of any applicable withholding tax) a pro rata share of any premium achieved above the

Offer Price for their unexercised entitlements in the Retail Bookbuild. There is no guarantee that a

premium will be achieved.

The new shares issued will rank equally with existing Channel Infrastructure shares then on issue and

will be eligible for future dividends.

About Channel Infrastructure NZ

Channel Infrastructure is New Zealand’s largest fuel import terminal, storing and distributing 40% of

New Zealand’s transport fuel, including 80% of New Zealand’s jet fuel. We receive, store, test and

distribute petrol, diesel, and jet fuel that our customers import and supply to Auckland and Northland.


Fuel is imported via our deep-water harbour and jetty infrastructure at Marsden Point and stored in

more than 290 million litres of contracted storage tanks on site. The fuel is then distributed via our

170-kilometre pipeline to Auckland, or by our customers (bp, Mobil, and Z Energy) via truck into

Northland. We underpin the resilience of New Zealand’s fuel supply chain with our tank capacity,

which enables increased storage of fuel in New Zealand, and through efficient, low-emission

distribution of the fuel into the Auckland market. Given our proximity to Auckland, and critical role in

the jet fuel supply chain, Channel is well positioned to support the renewable fuel transition in New

Zealand.


Our plan for growth includes supporting fuel resilience for New Zealand through additional fuel

storage on our site, unlocking the strategic value of the Marsden Point Energy Precinct Concept

which reflects the significant role Channel could play in supporting New Zealand’s energy transition –

through potential opportunities including supporting the manufacture of lower-carbon future fuels, as

well as a range of potential energy security opportunities, and exploring expansion beyond Marsden

Point through the acquisition of other terminals infrastructure in New Zealand.


Channel Infrastructure’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Independent Petroleum Laboratory Limited,

provides fuel quality testing services throughout New Zealand.
