Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited | Notice of Annual Meeting

Reasons for Board recommendation AGAINST Resolution 6
The Board is not supportive of the election of Mr. Barkley as a Director of the Company and unanimously recommends

that Shareholders vote AGAINST Resolution 6 for the following reasons:


•Mr. Barkley is nominated by a small group of shareholders (who hold a combined 0.0024% of the total shares in the

Company) focused on reopening the Marsden Point oil refinery, which has been overwhelmingly rejected by Channel

Infrastructure shareholders.  Shareholders approved the closure of the Marsden Point oil refinery and conversion to

an import terminal, with 99% of the votes cast being in favour of this change in strategy for the Company.  Since

then, the Company has moved on and is successfully delivering on its new strategy, achieving Total Shareholder

Returns (from both dividends and share price increase) of 37.4% in the 2024 financial year.

•This is the second year in which Mr. Barkley has sought to be elected to the Board to pursue a reopening of

the oil refinery, with Shareholders voting against his nomination in 2024 with 99% of the votes cast being against

his election. 

•The Government’s recently released Fuel Security Study has concluded that re-establishing the Marsden Point oil

refinery or developing a new refinery for indigenous crude oil is the least efficient option for improving New Zealand’s

fuel security.  It is estimated that the cost to rebuild the oil refinery would be up to $7.3 billion, and there is no

financial support from the Government or fuel companies for any rebuild of the oil refinery. It is also well beyond the

financial capacity of the Company (Channel Infrastructure's current market capitalisation at the date of this Notice

is approximately $760 million).   

•The Company’s strategy for Marsden Point is now centered on progressing the Marsden Point Energy Precinct

concept, with several projects (including the proposed biorefinery and electricity peaking plant) under active

investigation, and the Government considering designating Marsden Point as a special economic zone.

•While we appreciate Mr. Barkley’s interest in the Company, the Board has assessed the credentials that he

provided with his nomination against the Company’s publicly-available Board Skills Matrix, and concluded that

the experience and additional or complementary expertise that Mr. Barkley has is not aligned with the Company’s

Board Skills Matrix. In particular, Mr. Barkley appears to have no experience in the management or governance of

publicly listed companies, fuel or infrastructure sector businesses or of high hazard facilities, which is experience that

the Board considers is critical for Channel Infrastructure directors

1

.   

•Following overwhelming shareholder approval of the closure of the oil refinery and conversion to an import terminal

model with more stable earnings, our intent has been to reduce the size of the Board, enabling an increase in

boardroom efficiency and reduced costs to shareholders.

•The Board is therefore not supportive of Mr. Barkley’s election to the Board and is satisfied that the Board currently

has the right number of directors with the right mix of skills, experience, knowledge and expertise to successfully

deliver the Company’s strategy and create shareholder value.

Dear Shareholders,


On behalf of the Board of Directors I am pleased to invite you to Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited’s 2025 Annual

Shareholders Meeting, to be held at 2.00pm on Friday 23 May 2025. I look forward to welcoming you to Ellerslie Event

Centre in Auckland, or online.


At the meeting, your Board and CEO will present on the significant progress we have made towards our vision of

becoming a world-class energy infrastructure company. We will outline the growth opportunities we have ahead of us,

including the continued delivery of our vision for the Marsden Point Energy Precinct, to provide resilient infrastructure

solutions that meet New Zealand’s changing fuel and energy needs and supports New Zealand’s fuel security.


The successful execution of our strategy will create value for our shareholders, our people, our community and New

Zealand by driving economic growth, creating jobs and supporting the country’s energy resilience and transition.

Reflecting the significant progress we have already made, we continue to outperform the NZX50, delivering a total

shareholder return (from both dividends and share price increase) of 37.4% in 2024 compared to the NZX50 average of

11.4%.


The Board refresh, initiated following shareholder approval of the conversion to an import terminal, is now complete.

The result is a smaller, more efficient Board with the optimal mix of skills and experience, aligned to Channel’s strategy,

to support the management team to deliver on our strategy and ambitions for the future. The resolutions to be put

forward at this year’s Annual Shareholders Meeting include the election of Angela Bull, and the re-election of Andrew

Holmes, Anna Molloy and myself, as directors of the Company. The Board fully endorses these resolutions given these

directors not only possess the mix of skills and experiences required for Channel and its future strategy, but also hold

the governance experience required to discharge the leadership roles required on the Board.


For the second year in a row, the Board has received notices from a small number of shareholders (who hold a total of

0.0024% % of the shares in Channel), nominating Mr Karl Barkley as a director. Mr Barkley continues to advocate for

the reopening of the Marsden Point oil refinery. Fuel security is an issue the Company takes very seriously, with the

Company having engaged thoroughly with the Government in respect of its recently completed Fuel Security Study.

While the Board acknowledges this group’s passion for the oil refinery, the Fuel Security Study concluded that reopening

the oil refinery would be infeasible given the up to $7.3 billion cost and would have “limited effectiveness across all fuel

types” in providing additional fuel security. With no prospect of financial support from Government, a rebuild is well

beyond the financial capacity of the Company (Channel Infrastructure’s current market capitalisation is approximately

$760 million) and would not in any event generate appropriate returns for shareholders. Last year, shareholders

overwhelmingly rejected nominations from this group of shareholders with 99% of votes being cast against those

nominations. The Board recommends shareholders again vote against the election of Mr Barkley, with the reasons for

this recommendation outlined in the 2025 Notice of Meeting.


We encourage you to read all the information set out in the Notice of Meeting carefully, and thank you for your continued

support of Channel Infrastructure.


Yours sincerely



James Miller

Chair of Channel Infrastructure NZ Limited
