MARKET RELEASE
Date: 20 March 2026
NZX: GNE / ASX: GNE
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN THE UNITED STATES
Successful Completion of Rights Offer
Genesis Energy Limited (“Genesis”) is pleased to announce the successful completion of its NZ$300
million underwritten 1 for 7.9 pro rata renounceable rights offer (“
Rights Offer”).
The Rights Offer received strong shareholder support with NZ$242.7 million of applications from eligible
shareholders. This represents a take up rate of approximately 80.9% including the participation of the
Crown (which will maintain its 51.00% shareholding following completion of the Rights Offer). Eligible
shareholders who took up their rights in full also applied for approximately NZ$48.1 million of additional
new shares, which will be taken into account in the shortfall bookbuild.
Genesis Chief Executive, Malcolm Johns, said “Genesis is delighted with the strong level of take-up by its
eligible shareholders in the Rights Offer, including the Crown. The success of the equity raise is a strong
endorsement of the Gen35 strategy from shareholders.”
Settlement of the Rights Offer is expected to occur on 24 March 2026 for the ASX and on 25 March 2026
for the NZX, with allotment and commencement of trading on NZX and ASX expected to occur on 25
March 2026. The new shares issued under the Rights Offer will rank equally with Genesis’ existing shares.
Shortfall bookbuild
Approximately 27.9 million new shares are available for the shortfall bookbuild component of the Rights
Offer, to be conducted today by Jarden Securities Limited as the Lead Manager.
Eligible shareholders who did not take up their rights in full and shareholders who were ineligible to
participate in the Rights Offer will receive a pro rata share of any positive difference between the
bookbuild price (which will be determined by Genesis in consultation with the Lead Manager) and the
application price for the new shares under the Rights Offer of NZ$2.05 (or the Australian dollar
equivalent of any such positive difference, calculated at the prevailing A$:NZ$ exchange rate near the
time of payment by the Registrar, for Australian shareholders who did not take up their rights in full).
However, there is no guarantee that any such positive difference will be realised.
Eligible shareholders who applied for additional new shares in the shortfall bookbuild will be allocated
new shares at the bookbuild price (subject to scaling).
For further information in respect of the Rights Offer, including the shortfall bookbuild, please refer to
the equity raise presentation and Offer Document released to the NZX and ASX on 23 February 2026.
