$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

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

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.
