2.96% CIP1 Warrants

For an issue of Convertible Financial

Products or Options, the principal terms of

Conversion (for example the Conversion

price and Conversion date and the ranking

of the Financial Product in relation to other

Classes of Financial Product) or the Option

(for example, the exercise price and

exercise date)

CIP1 Warrants are an option to acquire

ordinary Chorus shares on a specified exercise

date at a set strike price.


CIP1 Warrants are issued for no

consideration.


Each CIP1 Warrant gives the holder the right,

on a specified exercise date, to purchase an

ordinary Chorus share at a set strike price. The

strike price is based on a total shareholder

return of 16% per annum on ordinary Chorus

shares over the relevant period. Therefore, a

holder of a CIP1 Warrant is only likely to

exercise the CIP1 Warrant if total shareholder

return on ordinary Chorus shares has exceeded

16% per annum over that period.


The exercise dates correspond to the

repayment dates for the CIP1 Debt Securities

and the dates on which dividends become

payable on an increased proportion of CIP1

Equity Securities, and will therefore be

between 2025 and 2036.

The percentage is to be calculated immediately before the issue, acquisition, redemption or Conversion.
