NOT FOR RELEASE OR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES

Infratil Limited (Infratil) (NZX/ASX: IFT) provides the attached Capital Change Notice pursuant to NZX Listing Rule 3.17. This notice relates to the issue of 27,093,600 ordinary shares under the retail offer originally announced on 17 June 2024 (the Retail Offer).

For the purposes of NZX Listing Rule 4.17.9(c)[1], and having regard to the objectives which supported Infratil’s choice of offer structure (being a Placement and Retail Offer, together the Equity Raise), Infratil’s objective for allocations under the Retail Offer (part of which utilised Infratil’s placement capacity) was to maximise their opportunity for eligible existing retail shareholders to acquire at least their pro rata entitlement of Infratil shares that are to be issued in the Equity Raise (based on such shareholder’s holding of Infratil shares on the record date for the Retail Offer of 9:00pm NZST on 14 June 2024).

In line with this objective, Infratil exercised its discretion to accept oversubscriptions in the Retail Offer (both in the aggregate amount of applications accepted and in the amount subscribed for by certain investors) to the extent necessary to enable certain shareholders who applied to participate in the Retail Offer for at least an amount necessary to enable pro rata participation by such shareholders in the Equity Raise, to be allocated at least their pro rata amount.

In determining which existing shareholders were eligible to participate in the Retail Offer, Infratil elected to make the Retail Offer available in New Zealand and Australia (where the large majority of its retail shareholders are based) and determined (based on applicable legal and regulatory requirements) that it would be unduly onerous to make the Retail Offer available to retail shareholders in countries outside of New Zealand and Australia.

There were no significant exceptions or deviations from the objectives and criteria set out above.

[1] NZX Listing Rule 4.17.9(c) requires an issuer to publish a statement regarding the approach taken to allocation in connection with any offer of shares that are issued under NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1. The Retail Offer was undertaken pursuant to NZX Listing Rule 4.3.1 (Pro-rata issues and Share Purchase Plan) in respect of the first NZ$50,000 of new Infratil ordinary shares (New Shares) offered and NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1 (15% Placement) in respect of any additional amount of New Shares above NZ$50,000 offered to eligible existing shareholders in the Retail Offer.
