Infratil successfully completes Retail Entitlement Offer

Infratil Limited (“Infratil”) is pleased to advise that it has successfully completed the retail entitlement offer component ("Retail Entitlement Offer”) of its underwritten 1 for 7.46 accelerated pro-rata entitlement offer ("Entitlement Offer") of new fully paid ordinary shares in Infratil.

On Friday 17 May 2019, Infratil announced that it would raise approximately NZ$400 million of equity via a NZ$100 million institutional placement (“Placement”) and NZ$300 million Entitlement Offer. Infratil intends that the net proceeds from the Placement and Entitlement Offer will be used to support the acquisition of Vodafone New Zealand Limited (the "Acquisition") as announced on Tuesday 14 May 2019.

The Retail Entitlement Offer closed on Tuesday, 11 June 2019 and raised gross proceeds of approximately NZ$121.6 million.

The Retail Entitlement Offer was well supported by existing retail shareholders with Eligible Retail Shareholders electing to take up approximately 67% of their Entitlements.

Retail Bookbuild

Infratil will offer for sale under the retail shortfall bookbuild (“Retail Bookbuild”) approximately 15.1 million Entitlements, being those Entitlements attributable to Eligible Retail Shareholders that did not take up their Entitlements in full and Retail Shareholders who were ineligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer.

The Retail Bookbuild will be conducted today (13 June 2019) after market close on the NZX Main Board.

Any proceeds achieved above the Application Price from the sale of Retail Entitlements will be paid (less applicable taxes) on a pro-rata basis to those Eligible Retail Shareholders who did not take up their Entitlements in full or Retail Shareholders who were ineligible to participate in the Retail Entitlement Offer. There is no guarantee that any amount will be realised for the sale of Retail Entitlements through the Retail Bookbuild.

Any amounts payable to Eligible Retail Shareholders who did not take up their Entitlement in full or Ineligible Retail Shareholders who (in either case) have nominated Australian dollar bank accounts, will be converted from New Zealand dollars by the Registrar at the prevailing exchange rate for buying Australian dollars using New Zealand dollars at the time of payment. That exchange rate may be different to the exchange rate used to set the Australian dollar Application Price (A$ Price) for the Entitlement Offer.
