Non-GAAP Measures
EBITDAF (Earnings before net finance expense, income tax, depreciation, depletion, amortisation, impairment, fair value changes,
and other gains and losses) is a non GAAP (generally accepted accounting practice) financial measure. It is commonly used within
the electricity industry (including internally by Genesis' management) as a measure of performance as it shows the level of earnings
before impact of gearing levels and non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortisation. It may be useful to investors for these
reasons. The EBITDAF shown in Genesis' financial statements (and used in this Presentation) has been audited for June balance
dates and reviewed by the external auditor for half year numbers. Genesis' financial statements (available at
www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investors/reports-and-presentations) include a reconciliation to net profit after tax.

the Green Bond Principles published by the International Capital Market

the Climate Transition Finance Handbook 2020, as published by ICMA.
A copy of that second party opinion is available on Genesis’ website
at www.genesisenergy.co.nz/investors/reports-and-presentations.

offeree or invitee is at least A$500,000 (or its
equivalent in an alternative currency and, in either
case, disregarding moneys lent by the offeror or its
associates) or the offer or invitation otherwise does
not require disclosure to investors in accordance

(ii) the offer or invitation is not made to a person who
is a “retail client” within the meaning of section
761G of the Corporations Act;

By applying for the Green Bonds under this Terms Sheet,
each person to whom the Green Bonds are issued (an
Investor):
(a) will be deemed by Genesis and each Joint Lead
Manager to have acknowledged that if any Investor
on-sells the Green Bonds within 12 months from
their issue, the Investor will be required to lodge
a prospectus or other disclosure document (as
defined in the Corporations Act) with ASIC
unless either:
(i) that sale is to an investor within one of the
categories set out in sections 708(8) or 708(11)
of the Corporations Act to whom it is lawful to
offer the Green Bonds in Australia without a
prospectus or other disclosure document
lodged with ASIC; or
(ii) the sale offer is received outside Australia; and
(b) will be deemed by Genesis and each Joint Lead
Manager to have undertaken not to sell those
Green Bonds in any circumstances other than those
described in paragraphs (a)(i) and (a)(ii) above for
12 months after the date of issue of such Green
Bonds.
This Terms Sheet is not, and under no circumstances is
to be construed as, an advertisement or public offering
