This issue of Share Rights is a one-off Competitive
Advantage Award granted to the Chief Executive
Officer, Rob Buchanan (CEO) to incentivise and
reward outcomes that are demonstrably hard to
achieve and that will not otherwise be fully reflected
in the Company’s performance under the initial and
annual LTI share rights awards, and which the Board
did not consider appropriate to reward with a
discretionary cash bonus.
The award vests depending on the Board’s
assessment of the following at its discretion, in good
faith, at the end of the vesting period ending on 31
December 2029:
(a) 50% based on the successful execution of
designated projects for the Marsden Point
Energy Precinct that seek to secure a long-term
competitive advantage for the Company. The
projects seek to unlock significant value over
time as strategic tenants are attracted.
(b) 50% based on the successful execution of
designated strategic acquisitions and
developments outside of Marsden Point that seek
to secure a long-term competitive advantage for
the Company. The acquisitions or developments
seek to enhance the overall quality of the
business with measured step-outs in New
Zealand and Australia, improve the scale of the
business in New Zealand by acquisition or
development of other fuel infrastructure and
associated fuels supply chain consolidation.
Vesting of this award is subject to continued
employment through to 31 December 2029 (except in
certain “good leaver” cessation of employment
scenarios), satisfaction of a workplace safety and
environmental conditions, and maintenance of
security of product supply to Auckland.
The CEO’s cumulative LTI entitlements (including
under this one-off Competitive Advantage Award, his
initial LTI or his annual LTI awards) are subject to a
non-discretionary $10 million cap. Capacity is
assessed on date of issuance of shares under the
award by reference to the price of CHI shares on
NZX at the time of issue of the shares.
Each Share Right converts on a 1:1 basis for nil cash
consideration into fully paid ordinary shares.
Shares will be issued (or transferred in accordance
with terms of the Channel Infrastructure Share Rights
Plan) in respect of vested Share Rights as soon as
reasonably practicable after vesting, being (subject
satisfaction of vesting conditions) within 10 business
days of 31 December 2029.
Share Rights rank behind Channel Infrastructure’s
ordinary shares, are non-transferable, cannot be
encumbered, and have no voting or other share
rights. Share Rights are otherwise subject to the
terms of the offer letter and the rules of the Channel
Infrastructure Share Rights Plan, including that the
Share Rights lapse automatically in the event of
fraud, dishonesty or wilful default, and that the Board
may determine that all or some of the Share Rights
will lapse, be varied, or have conditions imposed
upon them, or adjust the maximum number of Share
Rights the CEO is entitled to upon vesting, in
connection with other malus events.
