This issue of Share Rights is a one-off Competitive

Advantage Award granted to the Chief Financial

Officer, Alexa Preston (CFO) to incentivise and

reward outcomes that are demonstrably hard to

achieve and that will not otherwise be fully reflected

in the Company’s performance under the annual LTI

share rights awards, and which the Board did not

consider appropriate to reward with a discretionary

cash bonus.

The award vests depending on the Board’s

assessment of the following at its discretion, in good

faith, at the end of the vesting period ending on 31

December 2029:

(a) 50% based on the successful execution of

designated projects for the Marsden Point

Energy Precinct that seek to secure a long-term

competitive advantage for the Company. The

projects seek to unlock significant value over

time as strategic tenants are attracted.

(b) 50% based on the successful execution of

designated strategic acquisitions and

developments outside of Marsden Point that seek

to secure a long-term competitive advantage for

the Company. The acquisitions or developments

seek to enhance the overall quality of the

business with measured step-outs in New
Zealand and Australia, improve the scale of the

business in New Zealand by acquisition or

development of other fuel infrastructure and

associated fuels supply chain consolidation.

Vesting of this award is subject to continued

employment through to 31 December 2029 (except in

certain “good leaver” cessation of employment

scenarios), satisfaction of a workplace safety and

environmental conditions, and maintenance of

security of product supply to Auckland.

The CFO’s cumulative LTI entitlements vesting on or

before 31 December 2029 (including under this one-

off Competitive Advantage Award and her annual LTI

awards) are subject to a non-discretionary $2.5

million cap. Capacity is assessed on date of issuance

of shares under the award by reference to the price

of CHI shares on NZX at the time of issue of the

shares.

Each Share Right converts on a 1:1 basis for nil cash

consideration into fully paid ordinary shares.

Shares will be issued (or transferred in accordance

with terms of the Channel Infrastructure Share Rights

Plan) in respect of vested Share Rights as soon as

reasonably practicable after vesting, being (subject

satisfaction of vesting conditions) within 10 business

days of 31 December 2029.

Share Rights rank behind Channel Infrastructure’s

ordinary shares, are non-transferable, cannot be

encumbered, and have no voting or other share

rights. Share Rights are otherwise subject to the

terms of the offer letter and the rules of the Channel

Infrastructure Share Rights Plan, including that the

Share Rights lapse automatically in the event of

fraud, dishonesty or wilful default, and that the Board

may determine that all or some of the Share Rights

will lapse, be varied, or have conditions imposed

upon them, or adjust the maximum number of Share

Rights the CFO is entitled to upon vesting, in

connection with other malus events.
