Senior management changes

On 18 June 2025 Manawa Energy Limited (“Manawa”) shareholders approved the proposed scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme”) whereby Contact Energy Limited (“Contact”) will acquire 100% of the shares of Manawa Energy.

The final steps in the Scheme process will now be undertaken, including applying to the High Court for final orders.

If the High Court grants final orders approving the Scheme, and subject to the outstanding conditions being satisfied or waived and the Scheme Implementation Agreement not being terminated, implementation of the Scheme is expected to occur on 11 July 2025.

The Manawa Chief Executive Clayton Delmarter and Chief Financial Officer Phil Wiltshire will leave the company upon implementation of the Scheme.
