ASX Listing Rule Waivers

In connection with its EUR500,000,000 3.537 per cent. notes due to be issued 3 November 2025 (the
Notes), Contact Energy Limited (Contact) has been granted certain waivers from ASX Listing Rules
8.2, 8.10 and 8.21. The details of, and the reasons for, the waivers are set out in the table below.

Waivers

Reasons for Waivers
Waiver from ASX Listing Rule 8.2 to the
extent necessary for Contact not to
provide an issuer sponsored subregister
for wholesale debt securities quoted on
ASX settled outside of CHESS

Application will be made by Contact to the ASX for the
Notes to be quoted as wholesale debt securities. Debt
securities quoted on the ASX Wholesale Loan
Securities Market are not CHESS approved securities.
The Notes will instead be settled and cleared through
Euroclear and Clearstream, and any transfers of
interests in the Notes will occur in accordance with the
procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream.

Waiver from ASX Listing Rule 8.10 to
allow Contact to refuse to register
transfers of debt securities to be quoted
on ASX from the date which is the
record date before an interest payment
date or the maturity date of the debt
securities, in accordance with their
terms, on condition that ASX is satisfied
with the settlement arrangements that
exist in relation to the notes to be quoted
on ASX

Application will be made by Contact to the ASX for the
Notes to be quoted as wholesale debt securities. Terms
of the Notes provide that transfers of interests in the
Notes are to occur in accordance with the procedures of
Euroclear and Clearstream. These procedures may
require closure of the register in certain circumstances
(including to ensure it remains accurate as at an interest
payment date or the maturity date, as applicable). This
enables the register to be up to date on an interest
payment date or maturity date for the Notes. This is a
common arrangement for this type of securities.

Waiver from ASX Listing Rule 8.21 to
the extent necessary to permit Contact
to not do the following:

• in respect of transactions settled
outside CHESS, mark transfer forms
as required by Appendix 8A; or

• in respect of transactions settled in
the Euroclear and/or Clearstream
systems, send confirmation of a
change of address to a security
holder at their address

Application will be made by Contact to the ASX for the
Notes to be quoted as wholesale debt securities. Debt
securities quoted on the ASX Wholesale Loan
Securities Market are not CHESS approved securities.
The Notes will instead be settled and cleared through
Euroclear and Clearstream, and any transfers of
interests in the Notes will occur in accordance with the
procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream.
