REQUEST FOR TRADING HALT

Contact Energy Limited
(NZX:CEN/ASX:CEN)

Request for Trading Halt: Contact Energy Limited

We request that a trading halt be placed on Contact Energy Limited’s (Contact) ordinary
shares (ISIN: NZCENE0001S6) under NZX Listing Rule 9.9.1(a) and ASX Listing Rule 17.1.
Our reasons for these requests are set out below as per the rules of each of the NZX and
ASX.

We would like the trading halt to commence immediately.

Reasons for Trading Halt:
Contact has been advised that Infratil Investments Limited (Infratil Investments), a substantial
product holder of Contact, has initiated a sale process for some or all of shares in Contact via
a fully underwritten block trade. The halt is sought to ensure on-market trading is not
distorted by the concurrent sale process, and to assist in enabling that the sale process can
be conducted off market in an orderly manner. Contact is not otherwise involved in the
process.

How long we want the Trading Halt to last:

We would like the trading halt to commence immediately and last until such time that Contact
has been notified by Infratil Investments that the sale process has been concluded. While
we expect the halt to be for one day, the halt is being sought for a maximum of two trading
days and will end when Contact announces the sale process has concluded, or market open
on Friday, 22 May.

The event we expect to happen that will end the Trading Halt:

We expect the trading halt to end once Contact has been notified by Infratil Investments that
the sale process has been concluded. This is expected to occur before the commencement
of trading on 21 May 2026.
