Infratil Warrants

Introduction

Infratil has two series of Warrants on issue. Warrants in each series entitle the holder to buy one fully paid Infratil share.

The first series, IFTWB, were issued without cost in July 2004 with an initial Exercise Price of $3.50. Subsequent to a share split and bonus issue of new warrants (IFTWC) in June 2007 and a 1 for 5 rights issue in September 2007, the Exercise Price was adjusted to $1.62, effective 3 September 2007. Subsequently on 25 June 2009, IFTWB Warrantholders approved an amendment to terms of the IFTWB Warrants to provide for an instalment payment option described below under IFTWB Exercise Options.

On 11 June 2007, Infratil issued a second series of Warrants, IFTWC. These were issued without cost on a 1 for 10 basis to all shareholders and IFTWB Warrantholders on the record at 5pm on 8 June 2007.

The initial Exercise Price for the IFTWC Warrants was $4.25. Subsequent to the 1 for 5 rights issue in September 2007, the Exercise Price was adjusted to $4.12, effective 3 September 2007. The IFTWC Warrants can be exercised up to (and including) 29 June 2012.

IFTWB Exercise Options

Subsequent to the special meeting of IFTWB Warrantholders held on 25 June 2009 (click here for the Notice of Special Meeting and here for the letter sent to IFT Warrantholders on 25 June 2009), IFTWB Holders have two separate options for the exercise of their IFTWB Warrants.

Firstly, they may exercise by making payment of $1.62 per Warrant by 5pm Friday 10 July 2009. Upon receipt of payment the IFTWB Holder will receive one fully paid ordinary share in Infratil.

Secondly, they may make an Instalment Payment of 55 cents by 5pm Friday 10 July 2009. This extends the exercise period for the relevant IFTWB Warrants. They must then make the second payment of $1.12 by 5pm Friday 21 May 2010. The Instalment Payment of 55 cents is non-refundable and the IFTWB Warrants will lapse if the second payment of $1.12 is not made by 5pm Friday 21 May 2010. Subsequent to payment of the 55 cents, payment of the $1.12 can be made at any time and, upon receipt, IFTWB Holder will receive one fully paid ordinary share in Infratil.

If no payment is made by 5pm Friday 10 July 2009, then the IFTWB Warrants will lapse and have no value.

To exercise or make the Instalment Payment on the IFTWB Warrants you must complete the IFTWB Warrant Exercise Form (click here) or the Instalment Payment Form (click here) and post with your cheque for $1.62 for each IFTWB Warrant you are exercising or 55 cents for each IFTWB Warrant you are making the Instalment Payment on to Infratil’s Share Registrar. Contact details are provided on the relevant forms, otherwise call the Share Registrar on 0800 377 388.

IFTWC Exercise Options

IFTWC Warrantholders may exercise by making payment of $4.12 per Warrant by 5 pm Friday 29 June 2012. Upon receipt the IFTWC Holder will receive one fully paid ordinary share in Infratil.

The amendments made on 25 June 2009 have no application to the IFTWC Warrants.

If the payment of $4.12 is not made by 5pm Friday 29 June 2012, then the IFTWC Warrants will lapse and have no value.

To exercise the IFTWC Warrants you must complete the IFTWC Warrant Exercise Form (click here) and post with your cheque for $4.12 for each IFTWC Warrant you are exercising to Infratil’s Share Registrar. Contact details are provided on the relevant forms, or otherwise call the Share Registrar on 0800 377 388.

Quotation and trading of the Warrants?

The IFTWB Warrants are quoted and can be traded through the New Zealand Exchange (NZX). The IFTWB Warrants will trade up to Tuesday 7 July 2009 on the basis that neither the $1.62 exercise price or the 55 cents Instalment Payment has been made. The IFTWB Warrants will be suspended from trading from Wednesday 8 July to Friday 10 July 2009. They will recommence quotation and trading on Monday 13 July on the basis that the 55 cent Instalment Payment has been made. If the 55 cents Instalment Payment has been made before Tuesday 7 July these particular IFTWB Warrants will be suspended from trading until Monday 13 July 2009. This is to avoid IFTWB Warrants that have different values trading on the same market.

The IFTWC Warrants are quoted and can be traded through NZX until Tuesday 26 June 2012.

Recent market prices for both Warrants are shown in the financial section of major New Zealand daily newspapers or you can click here IFTWB or click here IFTWC for the current price information from the NZX. Contact your sharebroker for advice on selling your Warrants.

Who received the Warrants?

Can I buy more Warrants?

Yes. Contact your sharebroker for advice on buying more Warrants of either or both series.

What happens if I don't exercise my Warrants?

IFTWB Warrants will cease to have any value if either they are not exercised by 5pm Friday 10 July 2009 or the Instalment Payment of 55 cents is not paid by that time. If you are not going to exercise or make the Instalment Payment on your IFTWB Warrants, then you should sell them through the NZX.
