MARKET RELEASE
Date: 4 March 2026
NZX: GNE / ASX: GNE
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN THE UNITED STATES
Genesis Energy announces opening of Rights Offer
Genesis Energy Limited (“Genesis”) is pleased to announce the opening of its underwritten 1 for 7.9 pro
rata renounceable rights offer (“Rights Offer”) to raise approximately NZ$300 million. The Rights Offer
is part of Genesis’ equity raise announced on 23 February 2026 to accelerate its pipeline of growth
opportunities.
This Rights Offer follows the successful completion of Genesis’ NZ$100m underwritten placement
(“Placement”) of new shares to existing shareholders (including the Crown) and new investors.
Under the NZ$300 million Rights Offer, eligible shareholders may apply for 1 new share for every 7.9
existing shares held at 7.00pm (NZDT) / 5:00pm (AEDT) on the record date of 2 March 2026, at an issue
price of NZ$2.05 per new share. The Rights Offer Price of NZ$2.05 represents a 10.8% discount to the
Theoretical Ex-Rights Price (“TERP”)
1
of NZ$2.30 and is at a lower price than the Placement price of
NZ$2.15.
Rights will not be quoted on the NZX Main Board or on the ASX. Any rights that are not taken up by
eligible shareholders and rights of ineligible shareholders will be offered for sale in the shortfall
bookbuild. Eligible shareholders who take up their rights in full may apply for additional new shares (i.e.
shares in excess of their pro rata rights) that will be offered for sale under the shortfall bookbuild. The
shortfall bookbuild will also be available to institutional investors and New Zealand resident clients of
retail brokers. Any premium above the Rights Offer price realised in the shortfall bookbuild will be
returned pro rata to non-participating and ineligible shareholders.
The new shares will not be entitled to the interim dividend to be paid on 25 March 2026 (which had a
record date of 26 February 2026).
Full details regarding the Rights Offer are set out in the Offer Document, which was released to the NZX
and ASX on 23 February 2026. All eligible shareholders are encouraged to visit
www.shareoffer.co.nz/genesis and apply for the Rights Offer online before 5:00pm (NZDT) / 3:00pm
(AEDT) on 17 March 2026.

(1) TERP is the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price at which Genesis ordinary shares would trade immediately after the ex-rights date for the
Rights Offer. TERP is calculated with reference to Genesis’ NZX closing share price of NZ$2.34 on 20 February 2026 (ex-dividend
adjusted) and includes all new shares issued under the equity raise. TERP is a theoretical calculation only and the actual price at
which Genesis ordinary shares will trade immediately after the ex-rights date for the Rights Offer will depend on many factors and
may not be equal to TERP.
