exPlANATORy NOTeS

RESOLUTIONS 1 AND 2:

Nomination of Steven Crane and John Fletcher for re-election as Directors of Australian Pipeline Limited

Retirement of Steven Crane and John Fletcher as Directors (by rotation)

Under the Constitution of the responsible entity, Australian Pipeline Limited, at each Annual General Meeting of the company one third of the Directors, or the nearest whole number thereto, and those who have held office for three years since re-election, must retire from office. They are, however, eligible for re-election. This “retirement by rotation” requirement does not apply to the Managing Director and, in calculating the one third, the Managing Director is excluded. This means that two Directors of Australian Pipeline Limited must retire this year.

The Directors to retire at the 2013 Annual General Meeting of Australian Pipeline Limited are the persons who have been in office the longest since their last election, but as between persons elected on the same day, those to retire may be agreed between themselves.

Accordingly, Steven Crane and John Fletcher will retire as Directors at the 2013 Annual General Meeting of Australian Pipeline Limited. They are both, however, eligible for re-election as Directors.

Nomination by Securityholders

The constituent documents of Australian Pipeline Limited require the company to use its best endeavours to afford unitholders of Australian Pipeline Trust (being APA Group Securityholders) the opportunity to nominate candidates to fill the two vacancies on the Board of Directors of Australian Pipeline Limited (“Board”) which will arise on the retirements of Messrs Crane and Fletcher as Directors. Accordingly, on 9 August 2013 Australian Pipeline Limited lodged with ASX a notice (accompanied by a nomination form) calling for nominations of candidates from Securityholders. Nominations were required to be received by 5.00pm on 23 August 2013, but none was received within that timeframe.

Nomination of Steven Crane and John Fletcher

The constituent documents of Australian Pipeline Limited also provide that the company may itself nominate a person to fill the office of any retiring Director and is required to use its best endeavours to afford Securityholders the opportunity to approve such nomination. Australian Pipeline Limited has therefore nominated Messrs Crane and Fletcher to fill the vacancies that will arise on their retirement as Directors.

In considering whether to support the election of Messrs Crane and Fletcher, the Board assessed the performance and contributions of each of them as a Director, and how their qualifications, experience and knowledge complement the skills and experience represented on the Board as a whole and contribute to the performance of the Board. Neither of the nominees participated in the Board discussion with respect to his own candidature.

On the basis of that analysis, the Board (in the case of each of the nominations referred to above, other than the nominee himself) recommends to Securityholders the nomination of Messrs Crane and Fletcher for election as Directors of Australian Pipeline

Limited, and Securityholders are being given the opportunity to approve those nominations at the meeting.

Each of Messrs Crane and Fletcher is eligible for election as a Director and has indicated he wishes to seek election. Information concerning their qualifications and experience is set out below.

Election of Directors

If Securityholders approve (by ordinary resolution) the nominations of Messrs Crane and Fletcher at the meeting, pursuant to the Constitution of Australian Pipeline Limited they will be elected as Directors of that company at the company’s 2013 Annual General Meeting. If Securityholders do not approve any of those nominations, Australian Pipeline Limited will not nominate that person for election to the Board.

As Australian Pipeline Limited only has one member, APT Pipelines Limited, under the Corporations Act 2001 it is not required to hold an Annual General Meeting and may instead pass a resolution by the sole member recording and signing the record of the resolution. Therefore, the resolution with respect to the election of the successful nominees will be recorded and signed by the sole member of Australian Pipeline Limited after the close of the Annual Meeting of Securityholders.

Elected Directors will hold office for a term not exceeding three years and will be subject to retirement by rotation in accordance with the Constitution of Australian Pipeline Limited.

Directors’ fees payable to each elected Director will be in accordance with APA Group’s remuneration policy and will be in line with current market rates for appropriately qualified Directors.

RESOLUTION 1:

Nomination of Steven Crane for re-election as a Director

STEVEN CRANE

BComm FAICD SF Fin

Independent, non-executive Director

Steven Crane was appointed as a Director of Australian Pipeline Limited on 1 January 2011.

He has over 30 years’ experience in the financial services industry. His background is in investment banking, having previously been Chief Executive Officer of ABN AMRO Australia and BZW Australia.

Mr Crane has considerable experience as a non-executive Director of listed entities. He is currently Chairman of nib holdings limited, a Director of Bank of Queensland Limited, Transfield Services Limited and Taronga Conservation Society Australia and a member of the Advisory Council for CIMB Securities International (Australia) Pty Limited. He was formerly Chairman of Adelaide Managed Funds Limited and Investa Property Group Limited, a Director of Adelaide Bank Limited, Foodland Associated Limited and APA Ethane Limited, the responsible entity of Ethane Pipeline Income Fund, and a member of the Advisory Council for RBS Group (Australia) Pty Limited.

Mr Crane is a member of the Audit and Risk Management Committee and the Remuneration Committee.

3

The Board has considered the independence of Mr Crane as a Director having regard to the Board’s Independence of Directors Policy, and has determined him to be independent.

The Board (other than Mr Crane) recommends that Securityholders vote in favour of Mr Crane’s nomination for re-election as a Director.

If Securityholders do not approve the nomination of Mr Crane, he will not continue to seek re-election as a Director of Australian Pipeline Limited.

RESOLUTION 2:

Nomination of John Fletcher for re-election as a Director

JOHN FLETCHER

BSc MBA FAICD

Independent, non-executive Director

John Fletcher was appointed as a Director of Australian Pipeline Limited on 27 February 2008.

He has over 35 years’ experience in the energy industry, having held a number of executive positions in AGL prior to his retirement in 2003, including Chief Financial Officer. He has previously been a Director of Integral Energy, Natural Gas Corporation Holdings Ltd (New Zealand), Foodland Associated Limited and Alinta Energy Group. He brings a wide commercial and financial practical knowledge to the Board.

Mr Fletcher was an AGL appointed Director of Australian Pipeline Limited from 2000 to 2005, and is a Director of Sydney Water Corporation.

Mr Fletcher is the Chairman of the Remuneration Committee and a member of the Audit and Risk Management Committee.

The Board has considered the independence of Mr Fletcher as a Director having regard to the Board’s Independence of Directors Policy, and has determined him to be independent.

The Board (other than Mr Fletcher) recommends that Securityholders vote in favour of Mr Fletcher’s nomination for election as a Director.

If Securityholders do not approve the nomination of Mr Fletcher, he will not continue to seek election as a Director of Australian Pipeline Limited.

RESOLUTIONS 3 AND 4:

Proposed amendments to the Constitutions of Australian Pipeline Trust and APT Investment Trust

Amendments to the Constitutions of Australian Pipeline Trust and APT Investment Trust set out in Schedules 1 and 2 respectively are proposed to give the trustee, Australian Pipeline Limited, greater flexibility regarding methods of payment (including payment of distributions) to Securityholders. Specifically, if Resolutions 3 and 4 are passed:

• it will be available to the trustee to determine that distributions be paid to Securityholders by directly crediting the amount into an account nominated by the Securityholder, instead of payment being made by cheque. This is in line with the current practice of many listed entities; and

– the trustee may deal with unclaimed amounts as set out in Schedules 1 and 2, which includes the discretion to reinvest unclaimed amounts, after deducting reasonable expenses, in APA stapled securities on behalf of the Securityholders concerned.

The proposed amendments to the Constitution of Australian Pipeline Trust set out in Schedule 1 essentially mirror the proposed amendments to the Constitution of APT Investment Trust set out in Schedule 2. As units in Australian Pipeline Trust are stapled to units in APT Investment Trust, both resolutions are required to be approved (as special resolutions) in order for either Resolution 3 or Resolution 4 to be operative.

Copies of the existing Constitutions of Australian Pipeline Trust and APT Investment Trust are available on APA’s website, www.apa.com.au or, for Securityholders without internet access, by telephoning +61 1800 992 312.

The Board recommends that Securityholders vote in favour of the proposed changes to the Constitutions of Australian Pipeline Trust and APT Investment Trust.

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning APA Group’s security registry or you may copy this form and return them both together.

To appoint a second proxy you must:

• (a) on each of the first Proxy Form and the second Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

• (b) return both forms together.
