Summary details of the offer (refer to the Terms Sheet for more detail):

ISSUER:                  Infratil Limited

INSTRUMENT:        Infrastructure Bonds are unsecured, unsubordinated debt securities of Infratil to be issued pursuant to the Trust Deed

ISSUER RATING:   Unrated

OFFER AMOUNT:  The original offer was for up to $200,000,000 (plus oversubscriptions of up to $100,000,000) of bonds in aggreagate across both the 2026 Bonds and the 2029 Bonds. As at the date of this Revised Terms Sheet, Infratil has allotted $156,279,000 of 2026 Bonds and $112,053,000 of 2029 Bonds.

NZX Debt Market Quotation The Existing 2029 Bonds are currently quoted on the NZX Debt Market under ticker code IFTHC. Infratil will take any necessary steps to ensure that the new 2029 Bonds offered under this Revised Terms Sheet are, immediately after issue, quoted.

MATURITY DATE:           15 December 2029

INTEREST RATE:            The Interest Rate of the 2029 Bonds will be fixed for the first 13 months of the term, and will then reset on 15 December 2020 and on 15 December of each subsequent year.

First 13 months: The Interest Rate of the 2029 Bonds for the period from the Issue Date to (and including) 15 December 2020 will be 3.50% per annum.

Subsequent years: The Interest Rate will reset on 15 December 2020 and on 15 December of each subsequent year during the term of the 2029 Bonds (each, a "Rate Reset Date"), with the new Interest Rate applying for the 12 month period from (but excluding) the Rate Reset Date to (and including) 15 December of the following year. The Interest Rate for each 12 month period will be the sum of the One Year Swap Rate on the applicable Rate Reset Date (or, if the Rate Reset Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, on the following Business Day) plus a margin of 2.50% per annum. For example, for the 12 month period from (but excluding) 15 December 2020 to (and including) 15 December 2021, the Interest Rate will be the sum of the One Year Swap Rate on 15 December 2020 plus 2.50% per annum. Each time the Interest Rate resets, Infratil will announce the new Interest Rate via NZX on the same day (or, if the Rate Reset Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, on the following Business Day). The Interest Rate of the 2029 Bonds following each reset may be higher or lower than the Interest Rate of 3.50% which applies for the first 13 months of the term, and investors should consider the risk that it may be lower when deciding whether to invest.

In addition, if the 2029 Bonds are redeemed on a day that is not an Interest Payment Date (see "Right to Redeem Early" and "Early Redemption Events" below), the amount of interest that will be payable to you will be adjusted to reflect the number of days in the interest period in which the interest accrued.

(b) Infratil will not pay or make any distribution to shareholders or provide any financial assistance for the acquisition of shares in Infratil.

RIGHT TO REDEEM EARLY: Infratil has the right to redeem all or some of the 2029 Bonds prior to the Maturity Date by giving you no less than 5 Business Days' notice. Infratil may only exercise this right if:

(a) the Supervisor has not declared the 2029 Bonds due and payable because an event of default as described in clause 8.1 of the Trust Deed exists; and
(b) the notice of early redemption is given at a time prior to the day falling 25 Business Days before the Maturity Date. You have no right of early redemption except following an Early Redemption Event.
