| Percentage of total class of Financial Products issued/acquired/redeemed/(calculated on the number of Financial Products of the Class, excluding any Treasury Stock, in existence)1 | 2.59% CIP1 Warrants |
| For an issue of Convertible Financial Products or Options, the principal terms of Conversion (for example the Conversion price and Conversion date and the ranking of the Financial Product in relation to other Classes of Financial Product) or the Option (for example, the exercise price and exercise date) | CIP1 Warrants are an option to acquire ordinary Chorus shares on a specified exercise date at a set strike price. |
| CIP1 Warrants are issued for no consideration. | |
| Each CIP1 Warrant gives the holder the right, on a specified exercise date, to purchase an ordinary Chorus share at a set strike price. The strike price is based on a total shareholder return of 16% per annum on ordinary Chorus shares over the relevant period. Therefore, a holder of a CIP1 Warrant is only likely to exercise the CIP1 Warrant if total shareholder return on ordinary Chorus shares has exceeded 16% per annum over that period. | |
| The exercise dates correspond to the repayment dates for the CIP1 Debt Securities and the dates on which dividends become payable on an increased proportion of CIP1 Equity Securities, and will therefore be between 2025 and 2036. |
1 The percentage is to be calculated immediately before the issue, acquisition, redemption or Conversion.
