CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
dear Investor
this prospectus contains a description of Infratil and the terms of the Infrastructure Bonds being offered.
Bonds are used to provide longer term funding than is available from banks and have formed an important part of Infratil’s debt since its first issue in 1999.
Proceeds of the Infrastructure Bonds described in this prospectus will predominantly be used for general corporate purposes and to refinance bonds which are maturing on 15 november 2012, these bonds having been issued in 2002. holders of the maturing bonds are also being offered the opportunity to reinvest.
While bonds tend to be more expensive than bank borrowing, they allow repayment to be spread over a longer term, reducing the obligation in any one year. Paying a little more for longer term funding is consistent with Infratil’s approach to avoiding and mitigating risks.
Bond funding also suits the character of Infratil’s businesses which provide facilities and services important to their communities for which there is stable long-term growing demand. Infratil’s services to customers include:
-
Electricity - 209,000 customers in New Zealand buy their electricity from TrustPower
-
460,000 Australian accounts buy their electricity or gas from Lumo Energy
-
Fuel – 7.3 million litres of retail and commercial fuel sold and 157,000 retail convenience customers through 208 Z energy stores every day
-
Public transport - 210,000 rides per week day on NZ Bus
-
Air travel - 14,000 passengers through Wellington Airport per day
-
Loyalty programmes - over 2.5 million individual FlyBuys cardholders
-
Payment services - 384,000 Snapper cards (including 169,000 co-issued “Hop” cards)
By ensuring these people are well looked after, and by being in sectors with growing demand, Infratil has been able to build businesses which have delivered good returns.
the current financial climate continues to be uncertain and difficult, but new Zealand and australia appear to have so far avoided the worst of the global financial crisis. While no-one can confidently predict when “normal” will again prevail, Infratil’s businesses and affairs have come through the last few years in good shape. People have not stopped needing and using public transport, motor fuel, electricity, gas and air travel and Infratil’s operating earnings have remained resilient.
Whether you are an existing shareholder or Bondholder or a first time investor in Infratil, we thank you for your support.
Yours sincerely

Infratil has agreed for the benefit of Bondholders that, on the last day of each financial year and financial half-year of Infratil (and in certain other circumstances), Borrowed Money Indebtedness of the Issuer Group will not exceed 50% of tangible assets of Infratil and its subsidiaries as at that date.
INFRASTRUCTURE bONDS OFFERED UNDER THIS PROSPECTUS ARE NOT CONvERTIbLE:
unlike most other series of Infrastructure Bonds, the Infrastructure Bonds offered under this prospectus are not convertible into shares in Infratil in any circumstance.
RANKINg OF bONDS:
the Infrastructure Bonds are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Infratil. this means that in a liquidation of Infratil your rights and claims as a Bondholder:
-
(a) will rank after the claims of (i) secured creditors of Infratil (if any), and (ii) creditors of Infratil who are preferred by law (eg, Infratil’s employees in respect of claims for unpaid wages or salaries, and the Inland revenue department in respect of unpaid tax);
-
(b) will rank equally with the claims of all other unsecured, unsubordinated creditors of Infratil; and
-
(c) will rank in priority to the claims of (i) subordinated creditors of Infratil (if any) (being creditors who have agreed to accept a lower priority in respect of their claims in a liquidation of Infratil), and (ii) shareholders.
Infratil is a holding company with investments in the companies described in this prospectus. Bondholders have no claims against, or recourse to the assets of, any of those companies. Infratil’s ability to make timely payments on the Infrastructure Bonds is dependent on the returns it receives from its investments, its capital structure and the quality of its management - these features are all described in more detail in this prospectus.
In a liquidation of the Infratil Group, creditors of Infratil’s subsidiaries and associates would have a prior claim to the assets of those companies ranking ahead of the claim of Infratil’s liquidator (claiming as shareholder in the companies). only the residual assets of the companies, after the claims of the companies’ creditors have been satisfied, would be available to Infratil’s liquidator and therefore Infratil’s creditors (including Bondholders).
NO gUARANTEE:
the Infrastructure Bonds are not guaranteed by any member of the Infratil Group or any other person.
RISKS:
the principal risks associated with the Infrastructure Bonds which may affect your ability to receive the returns on the Infrastructure Bonds are set out under “risk factors” on page 30 of this prospectus. the principal risks associated with the Infrastructure Bonds include:
-
(a) the risk that if you transfer any of your Infrastructure Bonds before they are redeemed, the price at which you are able to sell your Infrastructure Bonds may be less than the price you paid for them, due to changes in market interest rates, a deterioration in Infratil’s creditworthiness and other factors;
-
(b) the risk that a material deterioration in the operating or financial performance of the members of the Infratil Group, or an adverse change in financial markets on which the Infratil Group relies to continue to finance its core debt, affect Infratil’s ability to make payments on the Infrastructure Bonds;
-
(c) the risk that interest payments on the Infrastructure Bonds may be suspended by Infratil if an Interest suspension event occurs; and
4
- (d) the risk that, in a liquidation of the Infratil Group, the prior claims of the creditors of Infratil’s subsidiaries and associates would result in there being insufficient assets available to Infratil (as shareholder) or its liquidator to satisfy in full the claims of Infratil’s creditors (including Bondholders).
ISSUE PRICE:
$1.00 per Infrastructure Bond (being the face Value).
the Issue Price for each Infrastructure Bond allotted under the General offer is payable to Infratil in accordance with the instructions under the heading “applications and payment” on page 37 of this prospectus.
no subscription moneys are payable by a Bondholder to Infratil for each Infrastructure Bond allotted under the exchange offer. rather, the Issue Price for the new Infrastructure Bond is satisfied by the Bondholder agreeing to exchange a 2012 Bond for the new Infrastructure Bond.
ISSUE DATES:
Infrastructure Bonds offered under the exchange offer will be issued on 15 november 2012.
Infrastructure Bonds offered under the General offer will be issued on 15 november 2012, 14 december 2012 and 15 January 2013 or, if Infratil decides to extend the period of the General offer beyond 14 January 2013, allotments of further Infrastructure Bonds will be made on the friday following the extended closing date.

INFRATIL LIMITED sIMPLIfIed dIscLosure ProsPectus 2012
INFRATIL
Infratil was established and listed on the nZX Main Board in 1994 at a time when the new Zealand Government was opening the market to the private provision of infrastructure. Infratil was formed to enable investors to participate in what was then a new area of investment.
Over the subsequent 18 years Infratil’s focus has been retained and refined. Investment continues to be in transport and energy infrastructure (Infratil still holds its first ever investment; trustPower) with a focus on infrastructure businesses which can grow their earnings through investing in their own activities.
Infratil’s primary investment focus is:
-
sectors where it has strong operating credentials, particularly energy and transport;
-
sectors and businesses which offer growth potential so that if the companies are well managed they will be able to invest additional capital to grow earnings and valuations; and
-
businesses with some level of risk, because higher risk assets generally offer the ability to earn higher long-term returns.
Infratil has retained and developed a stable core of businesses over the years, with changes in investments reflecting new opportunities or market developments. Infratil has also expanded geographically from new Zealand, and now looks at both australia and new Zealand as “home turf”.
the allocation of capital between businesses and to new opportunities is a key role for management. as the companies Infratil owns seek growth, the merits of investment proposals are assessed against other investment options and return targets. Growth investment is funded from earnings, borrowings or the sale of a business or asset to release capital for redeployment. In the year to March 2012 capital investment of $246 million was entirely “in-house” or organic growth: NZ Bus spent $64 million on its new bus fleet, Wellington airport spent $22 million on car park, hangar and apron improvements, Infratil energy australia spent $22 million on customer growth and systems to upgrade its service offering, Z energy spent $74 million on rebranding, service station upgrades and storage capacity and trustPower spent $49 million on generation enhancements and continued investment in customer care and billing systems.
In the year ahead total capital expenditure is expected to be in line with 2011/12, excluding trustPower’s investment in the snowtown II australian wind project which is proposed to be fully operational by May 2014. the total expected cost of snowtown II (excluding capitalised interest) is expected to be no greater than a$439 million.
Infratil’s participation in several infrastructure sectors means that both its investment opportunities and earnings are subject to diverse influences. for example, new Zealand’s wholesale electricity prices are largely determined by weather and the cost of new wind and geothermal power stations, while in australia the price of gas and gas fired generation tends to set electricity prices. Wellington airport and Z energy are providing strong earnings from their past investment programmes.
Investment decisions are based on the absolute and relative merits of each proposal, the need to maintain a comfortable balance of debt and equity, and shareholder priorities. the weighting of these factors will change over time; for example the financial market uncertainty of recent years has resulted in a more conservative stance towards debt.
the conscious shift in capital towards businesses and projects with more immediate cash earnings has contributed to the rise in Infratil’s earnings, as has the maturing earnings profile of its infrastructure businesses. companies such as Wellington airport and trustPower have invested substantially in new or increased capacity and their relatively fixed costs mean that a high proportion of revenue growth is reflected in their earnings.
RISKS AND THEIR MANAgEMENT
a prospective investor in Infratil’s Infrastructure Bonds asking “what could go wrong?” may find it helpful to consider the risks under two headings. the first is the “big picture” risk factors relating to the resilience of Infratil’s income. the second relates to the more complex area of operational risk including the many day to day factors where management and systems are significant.
the resilience of Infratil’s income reflects the nature of the businesses it owns and the markets in which they operate. a key attribute of Infratil’s businesses is that they are mainly in markets with stable long-term demand and, in some situations, also stable supply.
6
trustPower, Z energy, Wellington airport and nZ Bus provide real examples of Infratil businesses which have benefited from relatively stable or growing long-term demand. their business profiles are set out on pages 20 to 29 of this prospectus.
Motor fuel consumption in new Zealand also provides an illustrative example. From 1990 to 2008, economic growth and the new Zealand population have steadily increased. diesel consumption has increased in line with this growth, whereas petrol consumption has been comparatively flat, despite the number of cars on new Zealand roads increasing. In 2012, petrol consumption declined by three percent, whilst diesel consumption increased by two percent[1] . this demand profile occurred despite very substantial price fluctuations and a wide range of economic conditions. on the supply side, over the last decade new Zealand’s fuel market has evolved from having four approximately equal distribution companies to now having Z energy and BP with appreciably higher market shares than Mobil and chevron. Independent operators have also increased sales. clearly, the market is very competitive, customers have a wide range of choices and it is up to each company to develop a value proposition which attracts and rewards customer loyalty.
While the main industries in which Infratil’s businesses operate are relatively stable they are not risk free. Wholesale electricity prices are volatile and can vary by more than 100% from year to year if, for instance, a cold dry calm winter pushes up electricity demand while reducing wind and hydro generation. also, crucial facilities and services such as airports, energy, public transport and motor fuel are closely monitored by authorities and can be subject to regulatory intervention.
the second main area of risk, related to operations, processes and events, takes numerous forms. Infratil’s strategy, operating performance and investments are overseen by its directors, whilst its day to day management has been delegated to Infratil’s manager, Morrison & co Infrastructure Management Limited (“ Morrison & Co ”). Infratil’s risk management framework includes regular reporting of operational and financial performance, preparation of budget and forecasts, investment analysis and capital planning and the identification and management of significant business risk areas and regulatory compliance.
effective management of risks requires capable and experienced management and people, strong systems and processes and good decision making. for example, Infratil’s treasury function oversees the funding needs and risks of Infratil and its 100% owned businesses and it also monitors the funding activities of the non-wholly owned subsidiaries and associates. Infratil’s receipt in 2011 of a second Institute of finance Professionals new Zealand (InfInZ) award as new Zealand’s best corporate treasury is third party recognition of Infratil’s risk management.
further information on the risks relating to Infratil and the risks specific to an investment in Infrastructure Bonds can be found under the heading “risk factors” on page 30 of this prospectus.
further information on Infratil’s liability profile is also provided on pages 18 and 19.

PERFORMANCE AND OPERATINg INFORMATION
Infratil primarily invests in companies which own and operate energy and transport infrastructure and associated activities.
the key determinants of Infratil’s risk characteristics are the resilience of the operating cash flows, the diversity of the businesses, the allocation of capital, and its investment programme. Infratil’s goal is to own businesses which provide both solid core earnings and the prospect of reinvestment to grow future earnings.
at times earnings and growth investment will occur together, for instance in the year to 31 March 2012 Infratil received total cash income of $120 million from trustPower and Wellington airport which in the same year undertook a combined $71 million of investment. In the same period, the eBItdaf (a non-GaaP financial measure indicative of operating cash flow before interest and tax) of NZ Bus amounted to $46 million and it undertook $64 million of investment. These businesses have the benefit of relatively mature operations, which provide sound cash flow and growth opportunities.
In contrast Infratil energy australia is an example of a start-up business which has taken six years from establishment to reach the point of contributing stable returns.
Z energy, a relatively new investment, has provided both immediate cash income and the prospect of capital growth.
Earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, amortisations, fair value movements of financial instruments, investment costs, realisations and impairments (EbITDAF)
the first table on the following page shows the sources of Infratil’s consolidated earnings before interest, tax, non-cash adjustments (ie. depreciation, amortisations, fair value movements of financial instruments, and impairments), investment costs, and realisations. a reconciliation of total eBItdaf to Infratil’s GaaP financial information is shown in the table below and in note 3 of Infratil’s 2012 annual report. eBItdaf is a useful nonGaaP financial measure as it shows the contribution to earnings prior to non-cash items such as depreciation and amortisation, fair value adjustments and the cost of financing and taxation. the table is helpful also in showing the key sources of Infratil’s performance and the relative contribution of Infratil’s various businesses.
Z energy is not a subsidiary of Infratil for accounting purposes and the contributions recognised for the years to 31 March 2011 and 31 March 2012 are Infratil’s 50% share of that company’s net surplus. as trustPower and Wellington airport are subsidiaries, they are required to be fully consolidated in Infratil’s consolidated financial statements and therefore the table below shows their 100% contributions.
an investor in Infratil Infrastructure Bonds is relying on, and has the benefit of:
-
Infratil’s investment in five core businesses (trustPower, Wellington airport, nZ Bus, Z energy and Infratil energy australia), which generate positive operating cash flows and face diverse influences and disparate event risks; and
-
Infratil’s objective to invest in sectors where it has strong operating credentials and in businesses with positive growth opportunities.

- “other” fell in 2010 with the sale of a number of assets.
the values shown in the table (except for trustPower) are derived from the annual reports of Infratil and reflect Infratil’s share of the relevant investment’s net asset book values as noted below. these values are relevant to Bondholders as they represent the value of Infratil’s net investment in the businesses that it has interests in. for 100% owned subsidiaries cash balances are excluded from the values as they are deducted from bank borrowing in the calculation of net bank debt as set out under the heading “Capital and debt funding” on page 18 of this prospectus.
none of the companies listed in the table guarantees the Infrastructure Bonds. the basis of the investment values is summarised below:
TrustPower’s value in the table reflects the number of trustPower shares Infratil owns (approximately 51% of the total) and the trustPower share price on the nZX Main Board market as at 31 March of each year. as trustPower is listed, its value will change with the market’s perception of the value of trustPower.
Wellington Airport’s value represents 66% of Wellington airport’s shareholders’ equity excluding deferred tax. changes in value over the five years reflect fluctuations in retained earnings and asset values.
NZ bus’ value represents the book value of assets less liabilities, including goodwill and excluding deferred tax.
fluctuations in value reflect changes in retained earnings (the company has not undertaken asset revaluations over this period) and capital injections and repayments.
Infratil Energy Australia’s (IEA) value includes:
-
Iea’s power stations and land;
-
Perth Energy (of which Infratil is an 81% shareholder) power station and retailing activities; and
-
Lumo’s energy retailing assets are included at cost with energy price hedges at market values.
the fluctuation in Iea’s value shown in the table reflects changes in the nZ$/a$ exchange rate, the market value of hedges, valuation of generation assets and the provision of additional capital.
Z Energy’s value represents the cost of Infratil’s investment and its share of retained net profits and revaluations.
European Airports’ value includes airport assets at valuations adopted by the company’s directors while changes in value over the period reflect the sale of Lübeck airport and changes in retained earnings and the value of the airport assets and investment properties.
“ Other ” has, over the last two years, comprised Infratil’s interest in Infratil Infrastructure Property, snapper and a number of other smaller investments. Previously it included a number of assets which have now been sold.

valuation Transparency & Consistency
the value of trustPower is based on an identifiable nZX Main Board market price; the other values in the table on the previous page are derived from the annual reports of Infratil. Infratil’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with new Zealand Generally accepted accounting Practice (GaaP) and comply with International financial reporting standards. however, valuations rely on judgements and facts which change over time.
STRUCTURE AND bONDHOLDER STATUS
as with earnings, a lender is interested in both the total value of the borrower’s assets and the ranking of claims against those assets.
Within the Infratil Group, debt can be categorised as:
-
The borrowings of operating companies not 100% owned by Infratil. a creditor of one of these companies has no claim against, or recourse to the assets of, Infratil or any member of the Infratil Group other than the relevant operating companies. as at 31 March 2012, the aggregate debt of these companies amounted to $1,587 million.
-
Borrowings of 100% Infratil owned subsidiaries. These creditors have a claim against the 100% Infratil owned subsidiaries as guarantors, or recourse to certain of their assets through specific asset security, which would rank ahead of the claim of Infratil (or its liquidator) as a shareholder, and therefore Bondholders and Infratil’s other creditors. they also in most cases have a claim against Infratil as guarantor, which ranks equally with the Bondholders’ claims against Infratil. as at 31 March 2012 the net aggregate debt owed by Infratil’s 100% owned subsidiaries was $363 million. This is net financial debt and does not include other obligations, such as trade creditors, financial derivatives positions, and other accrued liabilities.
creditors of the company in liquidation would have a prior claim to the assets of that company ranking ahead of Infratil’s claim (or the claim of a liquidator of Infratil) as shareholder. only the residual assets (if any) of the company in liquidation, after the claims of its creditors have been satisfied, would be available to Infratil (or its liquidator) as shareholder and therefore to Bondholders and Infratil’s other creditors. the total financial indebtedness and obligations of the Infratil Group (including its subsidiaries) is shown in the most recent annual report of Infratil as at 31 March 2012, together with any security in respect of the indebtedness and maturity dates for the indebtedness.
CAPITAL AND DEbT FUNDINg
the debt funding of the Issuer Group (other than Infratil) comprises bank debt and other debt of Infratil’s whollyowned subsidiaries. a wholly-owned subsidiary, which is not part of the Issuer Group, also has issued a redeemable preference share in an amount of $140 million.
the first table on the following page shows the borrowing of Infratil and its 100% owned subsidiaries and the nZX Main Board market value of Infratil’s equity (shares and warrants) at the relevant balance date.
the table excludes the debt of less than 100% owned subsidiaries and associates, as while the lenders have claims against the assets of the relevant companies which rank ahead of any claim of Infratil as shareholder (and therefore Infratil’s creditors, such as Bondholders), Infratil has no obligation to these lenders and the value of Infratil’s investments shown in the previous section on page 17 takes into account the value of these liabilities. Infratil does not guarantee or otherwise provide support to any creditor of these companies.
- Infrastructure Bonds issued by Infratil. Bondholders have no claims against, or recourse to the assets of, Infratil’s subsidiaries or associates in respect of Infratil’s obligations under the Infrastructure Bonds.

Infratil and 100% subsidiary borrowing and capital structure
As at 31 March 2012 Infratil’s 100% owned subsidiaries had $36 million borrowed in vendor financing which provided for the construction of a power station, $391 million borrowed from banks, and $64 million on deposit with banks. Together these sums make up the $363 million net bank and other debt amount shown in the table over.

TRUSTPOWER
trustPower is principally an electricity generator and retailer. It owns 19 small to medium hydro power schemes in new Zealand, two wind farms in new Zealand and one in australia, a diesel powered back-up generation unit north of auckland and provides water to an irrigation scheme in canterbury. trustPower has approximately 209,000 energy customers in new Zealand while most of the output of its australian wind farm is sold through a long-term contract. trustPower is progressing further development of its wind farm called snowtown stage 2 in south australia. trustPower believes this project should be a successful step forward in achieving its strategic goals. the total expected cost for the snowtown stage 2 project (excluding capitalised interest) is expected to be no greater than a$439 million.
trustPower’s power stations which use water and wind to generate electricity have no fuel cost and consequently trustPower is a direct beneficiary of rising wholesale electricity prices which increases the value of generation assets and incentivises investment in increasing capacity.
on 1 July 2010 new Zealand electricity generation became subject to greenhouse gas emission obligations. at present generators with emissions are required to purchase rights which are available to be purchased at a price in dollars per two tonnes of co2. It is anticipated that over the next four years this obligation will increase. the current emission cost adds approximately 0.1c/kwh to the wholesale price of electricity generated using gas as a fuel. trustPower’s wind and hydro generation does not emit greenhouse gas so, while trustPower would be expected to benefit from a sustained rise in wholesale electricity prices, it does not incur emission costs.
trustPower does not guarantee the Infrastructure Bonds. Bondholders have no claims against, or recourse to the assets of, trustPower in respect of Infratil’s obligations under the Infrastructure Bonds

In the year ended 31 March 2012 trustPower provided Infratil with $64 million of dividend income.
over the last decade trustPower’s annual eBItdaf has increased from $69 million to $300 million.
over the same period trustPower’s investment in increased renewable generation capacity has lifted its generation by approximately 60%.
currently trustPower and other hydro generators do not pay for access rights to water that have been granted by resource consents. there is an increasing focus on the value of these access rights, and the issue of allocation is currently being addressed by the new Zealand Land and Water forum. It is possible that trustPower and other hydro generators will eventually face some additional tax or resource rental for continued access to water. as with a tax on carbon emissions, these taxes would likely be passed through to consumers by increasing electricity prices.

INFRATIL ENERgy AUSTRALIA gROUP
Infratil energy australia (Iea) was established in 2004 with the aim of developing an independent australian energy company, supported by an active and prudent approach to wholesale risk management. Its retailing division, which operates as Lumo, now has over 460,000 electricity and gas accounts in Victoria, Queensland, south australia, and new south Wales. the Iea group owns 285MW of installed generation capacity in Western australia (via Perth energy), south australia and new south Wales.
the australian electricity market is gradually emerging from state ownership and control, although to date only Victoria and south australia have completed a full sell down of the state’s ownership. only Victoria has removed retail price controls. as the state markets have gradually deregulated and privatised three large companies (aGL energy, origin energy and truenergy) and a number of medium sized or smaller participants have emerged; Iea is one of the larger second tier companies in the sector.
Infratil is now beginning to experience the benefits of its past investment into Iea and the objective now is to continue to grow both earnings and business scale.
neither Infratil energy australia nor Perth energy guarantees the Infrastructure Bonds. Bondholders have no claims against, or recourse to the assets of, Infratil energy australia and Perth energy in respect of Infratil’s obligations under the Infrastructure Bonds.

although Queensland, new south Wales, Victoria, south australia and tasmania form the national electricity Market (neM) and are linked by transmission, each state has its own retail market and regulation. Victoria led the way in privatisation and allowed a more market-based model where retailers are free to compete with no price regulation. as individual states have opened their energy markets Iea’s focus has expanded accordingly.
earnings have increased markedly as the group has reached a more mature stage of its development.

Z ENERgy
demand for motor fuel in new Zealand, and the associated supply industry, has been relatively stable.
on the supply side, four companies, of which Z energy is the largest by volume, undertake the full range of logistical, distribution, marketing and retailing functions: importing crude oil into new Zealand, having it refined at the country’s single refinery, and distributing refined product around new Zealand either for sale directly to private motorists and commercial users or to independent merchants. Z energy owns or leases facilities at 12 of the 13 terminal locations throughout new Zealand. Z energy also owns 25% of Loyalty new Zealand which operates the fly Buys loyalty scheme.
Z energy is a high volume, low margin business. on average, Z energy purchases and sells 51 million litres of fuel each week. Profitability comes from the buy-sell margin, minus the costs associated with processing, transport, storage, distribution and retailing. typically, the prices at which product is purchased and on-sold move together, which reduces the risk associated with fluctuations in international oil prices or the value of the nZ dollar.

fuel consumption in new Zealand tends to grow, and shrink, along with the overall economy. Z energy’s share of the market has increased slightly since the early 2000s.
An average Z Energy service station dispenses 5.8 million litres a year, approximately twice the average of the rest of the industry of less than 3 million litres a year.
for the year ended 31 March 2012, Z energy’s current cost gross margin was $422 million and after deducting operating costs the current cost eBItdaf was $172 million. those figures equate to 15.9 cents per litre gross margin and 6.5 cents per litre current cost EBITDAF margin.
Z energy does not guarantee the Infrastructure Bonds. Bondholders have no claims against, or recourse to the assets of, Z energy in respect of Infratil’s obligations under the Infrastructure Bonds.

WELLINgTON AIRPORT
Wellington airport serves the capital and central new Zealand region. In the year to 31 March 2012 it hosted 4.5 million domestic and over 700,000 international passengers.
the airport’s main airline customers are air new Zealand, Jetstar, Qantas and Virgin australia. airport charges for the major airline customers are reset every five years, with the latest reset completed early in 2012 and the new pricing structure effective from 1 april 2012. the commerce commission is to report on the effectiveness of the current regulatory regime, which requires airports to disclose certain information about its operations and pricing, by the end of 2012.
accommodating increasing passenger numbers requires investment in capacity, which since 1998 has included new domestic and international terminals, runway extension and major improvements to land transport facilities. Improved passenger services have allowed a substantial rise in income from retail, food and beverage, advertising, car parking and other transport amenities. In the year to 31 March 2012 these commercial services generated $32 million of earnings or $6.16 per passenger; up from $6 million per annum or $1.65 a passenger when Infratil made its initial investment.
By 2017 Wellington’s domestic passenger numbers are forecast to have increased to 5.1 million annually and international passengers to over 830,000 annually, a 14% uplift on current levels. capital spending on aeronautical facilities is forecast to be $65 million over the five year period.
the most recent forecasts of Boeing and airbus are for australasian air travel (measured by passenger/ kilometres) to treble over the next 20 years. Wellington airport’s own forecast is for its traffic to approximately double over that period.

In the year ended 31 March 2012 Wellington airport provided Infratil with $56 million of cash income which comprised subvention income and a special dividend.
over the last decade air travel on the tasman increased 57% while the australian and new Zealand populations rose approximately 15%. rising incomes, the falling real cost of air travel, and better airline services are encouraging demand growth.
the airport’s investment in capacity and better services has markedly increased earnings over the period.
Wellington airport does not guarantee the Infrastructure Bonds. Bondholders have no claims against, or recourse to the assets of, Wellington airport in respect of Infratil’s obligations under the Infrastructure Bonds.
While the majority of the growth is expected to be on existing routes, the airport also hopes to gain new direct links with asia. Boeing’s new mid-sized long-haul aircraft, the B787, has the capability to fly directly to Singapore from Wellington with a commercial payload. the first delivery of this aircraft to an airline occurred in september 2011 and several hundred more are expected to be delivered over the next decade.

NZ bUS
almost half of all public transport rides in new Zealand are taken on nZ Bus. It is the main provider of bus services in the two main public transport markets, auckland and Wellington; and also operates in Whangarei.
Bus public transport is a partnership between operators, such as nZ Bus, and regional transport authorities which define and regulate the network. services consistent with the network are undertaken without a rate/tax payer subsidy if commercially feasible, or with a subsidy if fares are insufficient to cover costs. the authorities set routes, timetables, operational standards and maximum fares on most services.
for several years industry participants have been working to change the regulatory, funding and contracting regime, and a new model has now been largely agreed with implementation expected to commence in calendar year 2013. under this new model, nZ Bus’ current routes will fall into either commercial, negotiated or tendered units, and the bulk of the services will be recontracted systematically over the next three years. It is expected that this new model will provide a base for future growth by incentivising a more commercial approach by operators (they are expected to receive financial benefits from patronage increases) and a focus on value and network enhancement by authorities. nZ Bus is well placed to benefit from the new contracting model.

Bus public transport can be a materially cheaper and faster way of improving urban mobility compared to building more roads or commuter rail.
In today’s more frugal fiscal environment, with changes to local governance in auckland and a better contracting regime emerging under the guidance of the Ministry of transport, it is hoped that the right ingredients are in place for growth in bus public transport use.
In recent years nZ Bus has enhanced and modernised its bus fleet through substantial investment and achieved significant patronage increases on its auckland services but public transport use per head of population in this region remains comparatively low and the regional transport agency has ambitious growth goals.
nZ Bus does not guarantee the Infrastructure Bonds. Bondholders have no claims against, or recourse to the assets of, nZ Bus in respect of Infratil’s obligations under the Infrastructure Bonds.

RISK FACTORS
any investment in Infrastructure Bonds will involve risks, including those described in this section, which may affect whether or not you receive the returns outlined under the heading “Returns” on page 38 of this prospectus. these include risks specific to the Infrastructure Bonds, risks relating to Infratil, and risks of a general nature.
the risk factors set out below may not be exhaustive and you should consider these risk factors in conjunction with the other information disclosed in this prospectus. this prospectus does not take account of the personal circumstances, financial position or investment requirements of any one person in particular. It is important that before making any investment decision, you give consideration to the suitability of an investment in the Infrastructure Bonds in light of your individual risk profile for investments, personal circumstances and investment objectives.
RISKS SPECIFIC TO THE INFRASTRUCTURE bONDS
Transfer and market value
If you transfer your Infrastructure Bonds before they are redeemed, the price at which you are able to sell your Infrastructure Bonds may be more or less than the price you paid for them. this is because changes in market interest rates and other factors can affect the market value of the Infrastructure Bonds. for example, if market interest rates go up, the market value of the Infrastructure Bonds may go down.
the price at which you are able to sell your Infrastructure Bonds may also be affected by a deterioration, whether real or perceived, in the creditworthiness of Infratil or the Infratil Group, a lack of persons wishing to buy the Infrastructure Bonds, or the lack of an established market or demand for the Infrastructure Bonds.
In addition, if you are seeking to sell relatively small or relatively large amounts of Infrastructure Bonds you may not be able to do so at prices comparable to those that may be available to other investors.
any secondary market for the Infrastructure Bonds will also be affected by a number of other factors independent of the creditworthiness of Infratil or the Infratil Group. these factors may include the time remaining to the maturity of the Infrastructure Bonds,
the outstanding amount of the Infrastructure Bonds, whether interest payments on the Infrastructure Bonds have been suspended, the amount of Infrastructure Bonds being sold in the secondary market from time to time, any legal restrictions limiting demand for the Infrastructure Bonds, the availability of comparable securities and the level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally.
You should only purchase Infrastructure Bonds if you understand and are able to bear the risk that the Infrastructure Bonds may not be readily saleable, that the value of the Infrastructure Bonds will fluctuate over time, and that such fluctuations may be significant and could result in significant losses for you if you sell your Infrastructure Bonds before the Maturity date. this is particularly the case if your circumstances may not permit you to hold the Infrastructure Bonds until maturity.
Suspension of interest payments
there is a risk that interest payments on the Infrastructure Bonds may be suspended by Infratil if an Interest suspension event occurs, as described in more detail on page 36 of this prospectus.
Infratil’s right of early redemption
although the Infrastructure Bonds have a specified Maturity date, Infratil may choose to redeem the Infrastructure Bonds early subject to certain conditions as described in more detail on page 36 of this prospectus.
If Infratil is entitled or required to redeem any of the Infrastructure Bonds, the date on which Infratil elects or is required to do so may not suit your individual circumstances. for instance, if you wish to reinvest the amount you receive on an early redemption of the Infrastructure Bonds, you may not be able to obtain a yield to maturity equal to that you would have received on the Infrastructure Bonds had they not been redeemed.
you have no right of early redemption
You have no right of early redemption except following an Early Redemption Event, as described on page 36 of this prospectus. a significant deterioration in the financial position of Infratil might not necessarily constitute an early redemption event.

Incurring additional debt by Infratil
subject to compliance with the constitution, the Listing rules and the trust deed (including the series supplement, which contains the ‘liabilities to assets covenant’ described on page 41), Infratil may from time to time issue additional securities which rank equally with the Infrastructure Bonds without the consent of Bondholders. Infratil may issue such securities on such terms as it thinks fit. Infratil may also extend its guarantee of the indebtedness of its wholly-owned subsidiaries to other creditors who may provide financial accommodation to those subsidiaries from time to time.
Infratil’s subsidiaries and associates may incur additional debt
Infratil’s subsidiaries and associates have borrowed money under various funding arrangements (for instance, bank loans and bond issues), and may borrow further amounts. such further borrowings can be made by Infratil’s subsidiaries and associates without the consent of the Bondholders. In a liquidation of the Infratil Group or any of these companies, creditors of the companies would rank ahead of the claims of Infratil as a shareholder and as a subordinated creditor (if it is a lender to the companies). an increased level of debt in these subsidiaries and associates may lead to a reduction in the level of distributions of income to Infratil and a reduction in the residual assets that would be available to Infratil (or its liquidator) as shareholder, and therefore available to Bondholders and Infratil’s other creditors.
No claim against Infratil’s subsidiaries and associates or their assets
Bondholders have no claims against, or recourse to the assets of, Infratil’s subsidiaries or associates in respect of Infratil’s obligations under the Infrastructure Bonds. In a liquidation of the Infratil Group, creditors of Infratil’s subsidiaries and associates would have a prior claim to the assets of these companies ranking ahead of the claim of Infratil’s liquidator (claiming as shareholder in the companies). only the residual assets of the companies, after the claims of the companies’ creditors have been satisfied, would be available to Infratil’s liquidator and therefore Infratil’s creditors (including Bondholders).
Limited rights of bondholders to enforce their rights directly
Bondholders are not able to enforce their rights under the trust deed directly against Infratil unless the trustee fails to do so having become bound to enforce those rights in accordance with the trust deed. Generally, the trustee will only be bound to enforce such rights if it is directed to do so by an extraordinary resolution of Bondholders. a copy of the trust deed and the series supplement is available on the companies office website (www.business.govt.nz/companies).
Refinancing risks
the Infratil Group relies on debt markets including banks and retail bond markets for core debt. adverse changes in the business or financial performance of a member of the Infratil Group or in financial markets may reduce that company’s access to, or increase the cost of, such funding. this could adversely affect the company’s financial performance, and so reduce the level of distributions of income to Infratil and the market value of its assets.
Change in business composition due to investment decisions
the allocation of capital between businesses and new opportunities is a key role for management and the directors of Infratil. over the term of the Infrastructure Bonds the composition of the Infratil Group may change as a result of capital allocation choices, which may have an effect on the level of distributions of income to Infratil and a reduction in the residual assets that would be available to Infratil’s liquidator (and so Bondholders and Infratil’s other creditors) in the liquidation of the Infratil Group.
ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND FACTORS AFFECTINg MEMbERS OF THE INFRATIL gROUP
Infratil is a holding company. accordingly, the financial position of Infratil is linked to the financial position, operating performance and profitability of the members of the Infratil Group. a material deterioration in the operating or financial performance of the members of the Infratil Group could affect Infratil’s ability to make payments on the Infrastructure Bonds.
31
INFRATIL LIMITED sIMPLIfIed dIscLosure ProsPectus 2012
the value and profitability of Infratil’s investments in energy, public transport, fuel distribution and airports and any other infrastructure and utility activities is dependent on, and can be affected by:
-
management performance and investment decisions at Infratil and investee company levels;
-
market prices for the products the Infratil Group sells, continued demand for energy and transport products (including the risk of substitution), and the prices and availability of key inputs such as water and wind for generation of electricity, and gas, crude oil and refined oil products;
-
the performance of key information technology systems, particularly those required for the billing, collection of data and communication with customers;
-
behaviour amongst competitors;
-
natural disasters (eg, weather, earthquakes and pandemics) and adverse world events (eg, terrorist attacks reducing air travel);
-
disruptive industrial relations;
-
macro-economic factors affecting general trading circumstances (eg, local or global recessions);
-
regulatory interventions (eg, airport price control) and changes to taxation regimes;
-
fluctuations in financial market prices (eg, interest rates, the value of the new Zealand dollar against the australian, us or uK currencies, or other prices that affect asset values);
-
the state of capital markets (including continuing access to capital and the cost of capital, including from banks);
-
the state of insurance markets (including access to insurance and the cost of insurance);
-
changes to public policy initiatives in fields such as control of greenhouse gas emissions, environmental law changes and the procurement plans and policy for public transport services; and
-
changes to the business of key customers or loss of key customers and deterioration of the creditworthiness of key customers or financial counterparties.
Infratil is also reliant on its subsidiaries and associates continuing to effectively and safely provide services to
many people without accidents or harm to individuals, property, or the environment which could otherwise damage the reputation and financial standing of such companies or Infratil.
TRUSTPOWER
In particular, Infratil’s investment in trustPower makes up a substantial part of Infratil’s value and provides a substantial part of the consolidated financial performance and Infratil’s cash earnings. risks specific to trustPower include a debt default, a significant nondiscretionary capital spending requirement, major disruption to the electricity market through for instance drought or transmission failure, regulatory change, a prolonged period of substantially lower electricity prices, or a major failure of trustPower’s systems both as regards electricity price hedging and the basic retailing back-office functions. any of these matters or a collapse of the price of trustPower’s shares on the nZX Main Board brought about for any reason would affect Infratil’s ability to make payments on the Infrastructure Bonds.
LEgAL OR REgULATORy ACTIONS
Infratil subsidiaries and associates may also be subject to legal or regulatory actions with uncertain consequences (as noted in Infratil’s 2012 annual report under the heading contingent Liabilities). for example, in november 2010, snapper, nZ Bus, and Infratil entered into a participation agreement with auckland transport which set out the basis on which the parties would work together to enable the snapper ticketing equipment on nZ Bus’ auckland fleet to integrate with the integrated ticketing system being built by auckland transport.
on 24 august 2012, snapper received notice from auckland transport purporting to terminate the participation agreement, alleging that snapper could not comply with obligations under that agreement to complete the integration work. snapper considers that it complied and could comply with its obligations under the participation agreement, and that auckland transport was not entitled to terminate. snapper intends to pursue auckland transport to recover its losses from this wrongful termination, principally the amounts it has invested on integration. the directors do not consider these amounts are material to the Infratil Group or Bondholders.
32
STATE AID INvESTIgATIONS IN RELATION TO FLUgHAFEN LÜbECK
during 2007 the european commission opened formal investigations into alleged state aid in relation to Lübeck airport (owned and operated by flughafen Lübeck Gmbh, one of the Group’s subsidiaries at that time). In 2009 Infratil exercised a put option and sold its interest in Lübeck airport back to the city of Lübeck. Lübeck is one of eight airports in Germany in relation to which the european commission has opened formal state aid investigations. Infratil understands a significant number of airports elsewhere in the european union are also under investigation. three of the four matters being investigated since 2007 do not relate to Infratil airports europe Limited (“ IAEL ”), but to the financing of the airport by the city of Lübeck and to arrangements with ryanair which were entered into prior to the sale of the airport to IaeL. the fourth relates to the price IaeL paid when it purchased flughafen Lübeck Gmbh. the european commission appears to have prioritised the long running German airport investigations. In february, the investigation was formally extended to include the put option arrangements as well. It is possible that the commission’s findings will be made by the end of 2012 or early in 2013. IaeL, flughafen Lübeck Gmbh, ryanair, the hanseatic city of Lübeck, and the government of the federal republic of Germany continue to work to refute the allegations of state aid. IaeL maintains its position that the purchase of 90% in flughafen Lübeck Gmbh which was the result of an open, unconditional and transparent tender process in 2005, and the put option arrangements, cannot, by their very nature and the circumstances they were agreed on, involve state aid. IaeL continues to be confident that it will be able to demonstrate this to the commission and, if necessary, the european court of Justice. If IaeL was found to have received state aid, it would be required to refund the state aid received, together with interest. as the directors cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the above matter, it is not possible to assess accurately the quantum of any financial cost to the Infratil Group.
EUROPEAN AIRPORTS
currently Infratil is in a marketing process to dispose of its interests in Glasgow Prestwick airport and Kent airport (both based in the uK). at this time it is unclear what the outcome of this process may be, including the proceeds from such a disposal or when this process might be completed. as shown on page 17 of this prospectus, the net investment values of these investments was $70 million at 31 March 2012, and the businesses contributed losses for the most recent financial periods. If a disposal is completed net proceeds may be less than the value shown at 31 March 2012 or Infratil may incur further losses from holding the assets.

MAIN TERMS OF OFFER
The Infrastructure bonds
Infrastructure bond Programme
Infratil has established the Infrastructure Bond Programme under which it may offer debt securities known as “Infrastructure Bonds” from time to time. the Infrastructure Bonds offered under this prospectus will constitute a new series of Infrastructure Bonds under the Infrastructure Bond Programme. unlike most other series of Infrastructure Bonds, the Infrastructure Bonds offered under this prospectus are not convertible into shares in Infratil in any circumstance.
The Offer
the offer consists of the General offer and the exchange offer.
The general Offer
under the General offer, Infratil is offering up to $25 million of Infrastructure Bonds to all investors in new Zealand (with the option to accept up to $50 million oversubscriptions at Infratil’s discretion).
The Exchange Offer
under the exchange offer, Infratil is offering holders of the 2012 Bonds the opportunity to exchange all or some of their 2012 Bonds for the Infrastructure Bonds offered under this prospectus. a Bondholder will receive one new Infrastructure Bond for each 2012 Bond exchanged under the exchange offer. the Issue date of the new Infrastructure Bonds issued under the exchange offer is 15 november 2012 (being the maturity date of the 2012 Bonds).
Infratil will also pay the final scheduled interest payment on each 2012 Bond exchanged for a new Infrastructure Bond on the Issue date of the new Infrastructure Bond. the final interest payment will be calculated at the interest rate applicable to the 2012 Bonds. When a 2012 Bond is exchanged for a new Infrastructure Bond, the holder will not be repaid the face Value of the 2012 Bond.
2012 Bonds that are not exchanged under the exchange offer will be redeemed on their maturity date in accordance with their existing terms and conditions.
Status
the Infrastructure Bonds are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Infratil, and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of Infratil (other than indebtedness preferred by law).
Trust Documents
the Infrastructure Bonds are constituted and issued under the trust deed and the series supplement prepared for the offer. the series supplement supplements the trust deed. If a term of the series supplement is inconsistent with any term of the trust deed, the term of the series supplement will prevail, but only in respect of the Infrastructure Bonds offered under this prospectus.
Registered bonds
Infratil will issue the Infrastructure Bonds in registered form. this means that no certificates of title in respect of the Infrastructure Bonds will be issued to Bondholders and transfers must be effected using a registrable transfer form, by means of the nZclear system or the settlement system (formerly the faster system). a transfer will not take effect until the transferee is registered as the holder of the Infrastructure Bonds.
Infratil and the registrar will rely solely on the register and, in the case of a beneficial interest in Infrastructure Bonds lodged with nZclear, the records of nZclear for the purpose of determining entitlements to:
-
(a) payment of interest on each Interest Payment date; and
-
(b) payment of the redemption amount for Infrastructure Bonds redeemed on or prior to the Maturity date.
Interest
Infratil will pay interest on each Infrastructure Bond at the fixed Interest Rate of 6.85% per annum.
Interest payments
the Interest Payment dates are 15 february, 15 May, 15 august and 15 november of each year until and including the Maturity date (commencing on 15 february 2013).
other than for the first Interest Payment date in respect of Infrastructure Bonds allotted under the General offer, Infratil will pay interest in arrears in equal amounts on each Interest Payment date.
the interest payable on the first Interest Payment date in respect of Infrastructure Bonds allotted under the General offer will be calculated by reference to the number of days from (and including) the date on which the subscription moneys were banked into the trust account operated in respect of the offer until (but excluding) the first Interest Payment date.
35
INFRATIL LIMITED sIMPLIfIed dIscLosure ProsPectus 2012
first interest payment
Interest payable on the first Interest Payment date will be paid by Infratil to the original subscriber of an Infrastructure Bond regardless of any transfer of the Infrastructure Bond prior to the first Interest Payment date.
Interest Suspension Event
Infratil may, by providing written notice to the trustee, suspend the payment of interest on the Infrastructure Bonds when any of the following circumstances exist (each an “ Interest Suspension Event ”):
-
(a) Infratil’s directors believe on reasonable grounds that the payment would be likely to result in a breach of the solvency test contained in section 4 of the companies act;
-
(b) the payment would be likely to result in any member of the Issuer Group being in breach of any covenant, warranty or undertaking given by it to any of its creditors under the terms or conditions on which any Borrowed Money Indebtedness was advanced or otherwise provided; or
-
(c) the payment would be likely to result in any member of the Issuer Group breaching any other legal obligation.
If the payment of interest is suspended because of an Interest suspension event, interest will continue to accrue on the Infrastructure Bonds at the Interest rate. Infratil will pay unpaid interest accrued (whether before or after the suspension) if and when the Interest suspension event ceases to apply.
dividend stopper
While an Interest suspension event applies, Infratil will not pay or make any distribution (such as a dividend) to shareholders or provide any financial assistance for the acquisition of shares.
Early redemption
Infratil may elect to redeem all or some of the Infrastructure Bonds for cash before the Maturity date by giving you no less than five Business days’ notice. Infratil may only make this election if:
-
(a) the trustee has not declared the Infrastructure Bonds due and payable because an event of default 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.
Infratil is subject to other restrictions on early redemption contained in various bilateral bank facility agreements of Infratil finance Limited, which are described under ‘other Material Matters’ on page 44 of this prospectus.
If a notice of early redemption is given to Bondholders by Infratil, then on the early redemption date specified in the notice, Infratil will redeem the Infrastructure Bonds for an amount which is equal to the greater of (in each case less all withholdings or deductions required to be made):
date (or, if no Infrastructure Bonds have been sold through the nZX debt Market on at least 5 of those 10 consecutive Business days, the average price of the Infrastructure Bonds for that period as determined by an independent adviser appointed in accordance with the trust deed).
If Infratil gives a notice of early redemption electing to redeem only some of the Infrastructure Bonds offered pursuant to this prospectus, the notice must be made to all Bondholders electing to redeem an equal proportion of those Infrastructure Bonds held by each Bondholder.
You have no right of early redemption except following an early redemption event, as described below.
If the Infrastructure Bonds are redeemed on a date that is not an Interest Payment date, interest will accrue on the Infrastructure Bonds that are redeemed on a daily basis from (and including) the most recent Interest Payment date (or the Issue date if the early redemption date is before the first Interest Payment date) to (but excluding) the early redemption date.
Early Redemption Event
an early redemption event will occur if, upon the occurrence of any event of default that is continuing, the trustee declares (at its discretion or upon being directed to do so by an extraordinary resolution of Bondholders) that the Infrastructure Bonds are immediately due and payable. upon such a declaration, Infratil must immediately pay to Bondholders the face Value of the Infrastructure Bonds plus accrued but unpaid interest (less all withholdings or deductions required to be made). the events of default are summarised on page 41 of this prospectus.
an early redemption event will also occur if Infratil receives notice that a person or a group of associated Persons (as defined in the Listing rules) has acquired that number of shares, or any interest therein, which (whether under the constitution, the companies act, the Listing rules, or otherwise):
-
(a) permits that person, or group of associated Persons, to require the remaining shareholders to sell their shares to that person, or group of associated Persons, and that person, or group of associated Persons, has elected to require those shareholders to sell their shares; or
-
(b) requires that person, or group of associated Persons, to offer to purchase the shares of the remaining shareholders.
If this occurs, each Bondholder will have the option of electing (within the time period prescribed by the trust deed) to redeem his or her Infrastructure Bonds.
-
(a) the face Value of the Infrastructure Bonds being redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest; and
-
(b) the volume weighted average of the prices at which Infrastructure Bonds were sold through the nZX debt Market during the period of 10 consecutive Business days immediately preceding the fifth Business day prior to the early redemption
36
Maximum amount of securities being offered
the General offer is for up to $25 million Infrastructure Bonds (with the option to accept up to $50 million of oversubscriptions at Infratil’s discretion). the exchange offer is for up to $57.4 million Infrastructure Bonds (being equal to the amount of 2012 Bonds outstanding at the date of this prospectus). accordingly, the maximum aggregate amount of Infrastructure Bonds being offered by Infratil is $132.4 million.

RETURNS
Introduction
the information set out in this section should be read in conjunction with the information set out under the heading “risk factors” on page 30 of this prospectus. certain events could reduce or eliminate the returns intended to be derived from holding the Infrastructure Bonds.
the returns to you comprise interest paid by Infratil on the Infrastructure Bonds and either the face Value payable by Infratil on the Maturity date, the price received for any Infrastructure Bonds sold, or, if the Infrastructure Bonds are redeemed early, the early redemption amount payable by Infratil.
It is not possible to quantify, as at the date of this prospectus, the exact amount of returns Bondholders will receive, and therefore no such amount can be promised by Infratil.
there are no reserves or retentions that will impact on your returns.
Key factors that determine returns
the key factors that determine the returns on an investment in Infrastructure Bonds are:
-
(a) the Interest rate;
-
(b) the term of the investment (including whether the Infrastructure Bonds are redeemed early or sold);
-
(c) any applicable taxes;
-
(d) fluctuations in the price of Infrastructure Bonds if sold on a secondary market; and
-
(e) the other risk factors described under the heading “risk factors” on page 30 of this prospectus.
Interest
Interest Rate
Infratil will pay interest on each Infrastructure Bond at the fixed Interest Rate of 6.85% per annum.
Payment of interest
the Interest Payment dates are 15 february, 15 May, 15 august and 15 november of each year until and including the Maturity date (commencing on 15 february 2013).
other than for the first Interest Payment date in respect of Infrastructure Bonds allotted under the General offer, Infratil will pay interest in arrears in equal amounts on each Interest Payment date.
the interest payable on the first Interest Payment date in respect of Infrastructure Bonds allotted under the General offer will be calculated by reference to the number of days from (and including) the date on which your subscription moneys are banked into the trust account operated in respect of the offer until (but excluding) the first Interest Payment date.
Interest payable on the first Interest Payment date will be paid by Infratil to the original subscriber of an Infrastructure Bond regardless of any transfer of the Infrastructure Bond prior to the first Interest Payment date.
If the due date for payment of any amount in respect of an Infrastructure Bond is not a Business day, payment will be on the immediately preceding Business day, but the amount paid will not be adjusted.
other than for the first Interest Payment date, payments of interest on each Interest Payment date will be made by Infratil to the person named in the register as the Bondholder on the record date immediately preceding the Interest Payment date. If more than one person is named in the register as the holder of an Infrastructure Bond, payment will be made by Infratil to the first person so named.
Infratil may suspend the payment of interest where an Interest Suspension Event exists, as described on page 36 of this prospectus. If the payment of interest is suspended:
-
(a) interest will continue to accrue and will be paid when the Interest suspension event ceases to exist; and
-
(b) Infratil will not pay or make any distribution to shareholders or provide any financial assistance for the acquisition of shares.
Returns on maturity
on the Maturity date, Infratil will redeem all the Infrastructure Bonds for cash at their face Value (less any withholding taxes and other deductions).
Returns on early redemption
If Infratil redeems all or some of the Infrastructure Bonds before the Maturity Date (as described on page 36 of this prospectus), Infratil will pay a redemption amount which is equal to the greater of (in each case less all withholdings or deductions required to be made):
-
(a) the face Value of the Infrastructure Bonds being redeemed plus accrued but unpaid interest; and
-
(b) the volume weighted average of the prices at which Infrastructure Bonds were sold through the nZX debt Market during the period of 10 consecutive Business days immediately preceding the fifth Business day prior to the early redemption date (or, if no Infrastructure Bonds have been sold through the nZX debt Market on at least 5 of those 10 consecutive Business days, the average price of the Infrastructure Bonds for that
2 for the purposes of the securities regulations, Infratil is the sole member of “borrowing group” as none of Infratil’s subsidiaries are “guaranteeing subsidiaries”. consequently, reference to the “borrowing group” in this prospectus should be understood as a reference to Infratil alone.

period as determined by an independent adviser appointed in accordance with the trust deed).
Bondholders have no right of early redemption except following an Early Redemption Event, as described on page 36 of this prospectus. the redemption amount payable by Infratil for each Infrastructure Bond redeemed following an early redemption event will be equal to the face Value plus accrued but unpaid interest (less all withholdings or deductions required to be made).
If the Infrastructure Bonds are redeemed on a date that is not an Interest Payment date, interest will accrue on the Infrastructure Bonds that are redeemed on a daily basis from (and including) the most recent Interest Payment date (or the Issue date if the early redemption date is before the first Interest Payment date) to (but excluding) the early redemption date.
Taxation
the information set out below is of a general nature and relates solely to new Zealand taxation. It does not address all possible situations and does not constitute taxation advice to any person. taxation laws are subject to change, and such changes may materially affect your tax position with respect to an investment in the Infrastructure Bonds. You should seek qualified, independent financial and taxation advice before deciding to invest.
the return on an investment in Infrastructure Bonds will be affected by taxes. If Infratil is required by law to deduct an amount in respect of resident withholding tax (“ RWT ”) or non-resident withholding tax (“ NRWT ”) from a payment under an Infrastructure Bond, such that you would not actually receive on the due date the full amount provided for under the Infrastructure Bond, then Infratil will deduct the amount and pay it to the relevant authority. Infratil is not obliged to pay any additional amounts to you in relation to any such deduction.
under the trust deed, you indemnify Infratil in respect of any tax which Infratil becomes liable to pay on your behalf in respect of an Infrastructure Bond. Infratil may deduct any indemnity payment from future amounts payable.
Resident withholding tax on interest
If you are either a new Zealand resident for tax purposes or are engaged in business in new Zealand through a fixed establishment (as defined in the tax act) in new Zealand (“ New Zealand bondholder ”), rWt will be deducted from the interest (including amounts deemed to be interest) payable to you in accordance with the provisions of the tax act.
as at the date of this prospectus, rWt of 33% will be deducted from interest paid to a new Zealand Bondholder that is an individual or trustee, unless the new Zealand Bondholder supplies his or her Ird number to the registrar and elects for rWt to be deducted at a different rate.
the available rates of rWt for individuals and trustees as at the date of this prospectus are 33%, 30% and 17.5%. In addition, if the new Zealand Bondholder is a trustee of certain testamentary trusts, or an individual (not acting as a trustee) who has a reasonable expectation at the time of the election that their income for the income year applicable to the new Zealand Bondholder (eg, 1 april 2012 to 31 March 2013) will be $14,000 or less, and the new Zealand Bondholder has
supplied its Ird number to the registrar, the new Zealand Bondholder may elect for rWt to be deducted at 10.5%.
The RWT rate for interest paid to most companies is 28% as at the date of this prospectus. however, if a new Zealand Bondholder that is a company (not acting as a trustee) has not supplied its Ird number to the registrar, rWt will be deducted at 33%.
rWt will not be deducted where a new Zealand Bondholder provides a copy of an appropriate rWt exemption certificate to the registrar on or before the record date for the relevant payment.
Bondholders should notify the registrar of any changes to their elected rWt rate as a result of changes to their particular circumstances.
Non-resident withholding tax on interest
If you are not a new Zealand tax resident and are not engaged in business in new Zealand through a fixed establishment (as defined in the tax act) in new Zealand (“ Non-New Zealand bondholder ”) nrWt will be deducted, where appropriate, at the rate required by law from payments of interest (or deemed interest) made to you. If Infratil is lawfully able to apply, and does apply, the approved issuer levy (“ AIL ”) regime in respect of any payment of interest (or deemed interest) to a non-new Zealand Bondholder Infratil will pay the aIL at the applicable rate to the appropriate authority and will deduct the amount paid from the interest (or deemed interest) payable to that non-new Zealand Bondholder in lieu of deducting nrWt from that payment. from 7 May 2012, the rate of aIL applicable to interest on listed and widely held bonds that meet certain criteria is 0%. Infratil expects the Infrastructure Bonds to qualify for the 0% rate of aIL, meaning that interest (or deemed interest) may be paid to non-new Zealand Bondholders without deduction of nrWt or payment of aIL.
the aIL regime is not available to reduce the rate of nrWt to 0% for interest (or deemed interest) paid to a non-new Zealand Bondholder that is associated with Infratil or that derives the interest jointly with a new Zealand tax resident.
Financial arrangements rules
the tax act contains rules, known as the financial arrangements rules, which apply to debt instruments such as the Infrastructure Bonds. one consequence of the financial arrangements rules is that, if you are subject to the rules, any gain on the disposal or redemption of Infrastructure Bonds will be subject to tax. You should consult your own taxation advisors regarding the application of the financial arrangements rules and the tax consequences of holding Infrastructure Bonds and the disposal or redemption of Infrastructure Bonds.
Person legally liable to pay returns
Infratil is the person legally liable to pay you the returns on the Infrastructure Bonds described above. no other person promises or guarantees to pay any of the returns.
gUARANTORS
the Infrastructure Bonds are not guaranteed by any member of the Infratil Group or by any other person. You have no claims against, or recourse to the assets of, Infratil’s subsidiaries or associates in respect of Infratil’s obligations under the Infrastructure Bonds.

PROvISIONS OF TRUST DEED AND OTHER RESTRICTIONS ON bORROWINg gROUP
Trust Documents
the Infrastructure Bonds will be constituted by and issued under the trust deed dated 11 november 1999 (as amended and supplemented from time to time) between Infratil and the trustee and the series supplement prepared for this offer. the series supplement contains certain terms relating to this offer (for instance, the Interest rate). If a term of the series supplement is inconsistent with any term of the trust deed, the term of the series supplement will prevail, but only in respect of the Infrastructure Bonds offered under this prospectus.
the following is a summary of the principal provisions of the trust deed and series supplement, which have not been summarised elsewhere in this prospectus. capitalised words and expressions appearing in this section and not otherwise defined in this prospectus are defined in the trust deed or series supplement. You should refer to the trust deed and the series supplement for the full terms and conditions of the Infrastructure Bonds. copies of the trust deed, all amendments to it, and the series supplement are available on the companies office website (www.business.govt.nz/companies).
The Trustee’s duties and powers
the trustee acts as the trustee for the Bondholders (including holders of Infrastructure Bonds in other series issued prior to the date of this prospectus) on the terms and conditions, and with the rights, powers and obligations, contained in the trust deed or implied by law.
In summary, the principal rights and obligations of the trustee under the trust deed are:
-
(a) after the occurrence of any event of default that is continuing, the trustee may declare at its discretion (and must upon being directed to do so by an extraordinary resolution of Bondholders) that the Infrastructure Bonds are immediately due and payable, whereupon Infratil must prepay immediately to each Bondholder the face Value of Infrastructure Bonds held by the Bondholder plus accrued but unpaid interest (less all withholdings or deductions required to be made);
-
(b) to receive from Infratil regular financial statements and regular reports, certificates and other information as to Infratil’s financial condition and compliance with the trust deed;
-
(c) to perform a number of functions relating to the ongoing administration of, and monitoring compliance with, the trust deed, including in relation to meetings of Bondholders, and the exercise of discretions or the giving or withholding of consents (as appropriate) relating to such administration and other matters out of the ordinary; and
-
(d) to engage experts, amend the trust deed and hold rights and property on trust in accordance with provisions implied or inserted pursuant to the securities regulations.
In addition, the trustee has a statutory duty pursuant to the securities act and the securities regulations to exercise reasonable diligence to:
-
(a) ascertain whether there has been any breach of the terms of the trust deed or of the offer of Infrastructure Bonds and to do all it is empowered to do to cause any such breach to be remedied (except where the trustee is satisfied that the breach will not materially prejudice the interests of the Bondholders); and
-
(b) ascertain whether or not Infratil’s assets that are or may be available are sufficient or likely to be sufficient to discharge the amounts payable on the Infrastructure Bonds as they become due.
the trustee has entered into the trust deed on the basis that the duties of the trustee as prescribed in clause 1 of schedule 15 of the securities regulations will be interpreted (and limited to the maximum extent permitted by section 62(1) of the Securities Act) to take into account that:
-
(a) the terms of issue of the Infrastructure Bonds allow suspension of interest if an Interest suspension event applies and, to this extent, payment by Infratil cannot be compelled; and
-
(b) as some provisions of the trust deed derive from the Listing rules, the trustee is entitled to assume that Infratil is complying with these provisions and the Listing rules in the absence of notice, and may act accordingly having regard to the actions of nZX in relation to non compliance.
You are deemed to know and accept the interpretation of the trustee’s duties as described above.
as between itself and Bondholders the trustee may determine all questions and doubts arising in relation to any of the provisions of the trust deed and every such determination will be conclusive and binding on the trustee and the Bondholders.
the powers, rights and remedies conferred on the trustee by the trust deed are exercisable by the trustee only. Bondholders are not entitled to exercise any of the trustee’s powers except with the written consent of the trustee or if the trustee has failed to exercise any such power, right or remedy having been directed by an extraordinary resolution of Bondholders to do so.
Infratil’s obligations
for so long as any of the Infrastructure Bonds are outstanding, Infratil has made a number of undertakings to the trustee on behalf of the Bondholders, including (but not limited to) the following:
-
(a) Infratil will use its reasonable endeavours to ensure that the Infrastructure Bonds remain listed on the nZX debt Market while there are any Infrastructure Bonds outstanding or until the Infrastructure Bonds no longer qualify for listing.
-
(b) Infratil will comply at all times with the companies act and the securities act.
-
(c) Infratil will not create or permit to subsist any charge over its assets in favour of or for the benefit of any person or persons unless at the same time the benefit of such charge is extended equally and rateably to the Bondholders in respect of all Infrastructure Bonds outstanding at the time. this restriction applies only to assets directly owned by Infratil and not to assets owned by any of its subsidiaries or associates.
-
(d) If at any time Infratil has reasonable grounds to believe that it has breached, or may have breached, any of the terms of the trust deed or the terms of an offer of Instrastructure Bonds, it will, as soon as practicable, notify the trustee in writing of the breach or possible breach and the steps (if any) that it has taken or intends to take in light of the breach or possible breach, and the date by which the steps were taken or are to be taken.
40
Liabilities to assets covenant
Pursuant to the series supplement, Infratil has agreed for the benefit of Bondholders that, on the last day of each financial year and financial half-year of Infratil (and in certain other circumstances), Borrowed Money Indebtedness of the Issuer Group will not exceed 50% of the tangible assets of Infratil and its subsidiaries as at that date.
upon the occurrence of any event of default that is continuing, the trustee may declare at its discretion (and must upon being directed to do so by an extraordinary resolution of Bondholders) that the Infrastructure Bonds are immediately due and payable, whereupon Infratil must prepay immediately to each Bondholder the face Value of Infrastructure Bonds held by the Bondholder plus accrued but unpaid interest (less all withholdings or deductions required to be made).
Events of Default
an event of default in respect of the Infrastructure Bonds will occur under the trust deed if:
-
(a) Infratil has defaulted in payment of interest on the Infrastructure Bonds for a period of 14 days (other than where an Interest suspension event applies);
-
(b) Infratil has defaulted in payment of any other moneys payable under the trust deed for a period of 14 days after a written demand is made;
-
(c) an order is made, or an effective resolution is passed, for the liquidation of Infratil (other than for the purpose of a reconstruction or amalgamation approved by the trustee);
-
(d) a receiver is appointed, an encumbrancer takes possession or sells any material part of Infratil’s assets, any step is taken to appoint or with a view to appointing a statutory manager of Infratil, or Infratil or any associated person is declared at risk pursuant to the corporations (Investigation and Management) Act 1989;
-
(e) Infratil enters into an arrangement or compromise with creditors without the prior written consent of the trustee; or
-
(f) Infratil defaults in the performance or observation of any other binding provision under the trust deed or the series supplement (including the liabilities to assets covenant described above) and the default continues for more than 30 days after Infratil has received written notice from the trustee specifying the default and requiring it to be remedied.
bondholder Meetings
the trust deed contains provisions for meetings of Bondholders. Meetings may be convened by Infratil or the trustee, and are required to be convened on the request of Bondholder(s) holding not less than 10% of the total face Value of all the Infrastructure Bonds of all series outstanding under the Infrastructure Bond Programme. at least 14 clear days notice of each meeting is required to be given.
the meetings are to be held in the city in which the registered office of Infratil is situated (currently Wellington), or at such other place as the trustee determines or approves. each Bondholder is entitled to attend in person or by proxy and vote at the meeting. the quorum required for passing an extraordinary resolution is Bondholders of a majority of the Infrastructure Bonds of all series outstanding under the Infrastructure Bond Programme present in person or by representative. the quorum for any other business is Bondholders of at least 10% of the Infrastructure Bonds of all series outstanding under the Infrastructure Bond Programme. an extraordinary resolution of Bondholders binds all Bondholders of all series and the trustee.
If, within fifteen minutes after the time appointed for a meeting of Bondholders, a quorum is not present, the meeting shall stand adjourned to such day and time, not being less than 14 days thereafter, and at such adjourned meeting the Bondholders present in person or by representative will be a quorum for the transaction of business including the passing of extraordinary resolutions.
Waivers
subject to the Listing rules and to any direction or request given by Bondholders, the trustee may at any time waive, in whole or in part, for a specified period or indefinitely and on such terms and conditions (if any) as it deems expedient, any breach or anticipated breach by Infratil of any provision expressed or implied in the trust deed provided the trustee is satisfied that the interests of Bondholders will not be materially prejudiced by the waiver. any waiver will not prejudice the rights of the trustee or Bondholders in respect of any other breach.
Limitations on mortgages or charges
Infrastructure Bonds are unsecured indebtedness of Infratil. accordingly, the trust deed does not contain any terms that impose limitations relating to the creation of mortgages or charges ranking in point of security ahead of, or equally with, any mortgage or charge securing the Infrastructure Bonds. however, under the trust deed, Infratil has agreed not to create or permit to subsist security over its assets to any person unless at the same time the benefit of such security is extended equally and rateably to Bondholders in respect of the Infrastructure Bonds.

INFRATIL LIMITED sIMPLIfIed dIscLosure ProsPectus 2012
borrowing restrictions
Infratil and certain of its material wholly-owned subsidiaries (together, the “Bank Guarantors”) are guarantors of the indebtedness of Infratil finance Limited and certain other wholly owned subsidiaries of Infratil under various bilateral banking facility agreements. the facility agreements contain certain restrictions which may limit Infratil’s ability to borrow money, namely:
-
(a) shareholders’ funds (being total tangible assets of the Bank Guarantors less total liabilities of the Bank Guarantors) must not be less than 40% of the total tangible assets of the Bank Guarantors.
-
(b) the ratio of debt (excluding all Infrastructure Bonds issued under the Infrastructure Bond Programme and indebtedness owing by one Bank Guarantor to another) to Bank covenant eBItda of the Bank Guarantors must not be greater than 5 times (tested half-yearly and yearly). the ratio of Bank covenant eBItda of the Bank Guarantors to interest on debt (excluding all Infrastructure Bonds issued under the Infrastructure Bond Programme and indebtedness owing by one Bank Guarantor to another) must not be less than 3 times (tested half-yearly and yearly).
these restrictions may be amended by agreement between the parties to the bilateral facility agreements.
Bondholders (and the trustee to the extent it represents the Bondholders) do not have the benefit of the restrictions described above.
the Infrastructure Bonds are not guaranteed by any of the Bank Guarantors. Bondholders have no claims against, or recourse to the assets of, Bank Guarantors (other than Infratil) in respect of Infratil’s obligations under the Infrastructure Bonds.
Trustee’s statement
the statement required to be made by the trustee under clause 9(3) of schedule 12 of the securities regulations is set out on page 34 of this prospectus.
CONSEqUENCES OF INSOLvENCy
Bondholders will not be liable to pay money to any person as a result of the insolvency of Infratil.
Ranking of the Infrastructure bonds
the Infrastructure Bonds are unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations of Infratil. this means that in a liquidation of Infratil your rights to repayment of the face Value, and to payment of interest in respect of your Infrastructure Bonds:
-
(a) will rank after the claims of (i) secured creditors of Infratil (if any), and (ii) creditors of Infratil who are preferred by law (eg, Infratil’s employees in respect of claims for unpaid wages or salaries, and the Inland revenue department in respect of unpaid tax);
-
(b) will rank equally with the claims of all other unsecured, unsubordinated creditors of Infratil; and
-
(c) will rank in priority to the claims of (i) subordinated creditors of Infratil (if any) (being creditors who have agreed to accept a lower priority in respect of their claims in a liquidation of Infratil), and (ii) shareholders.
Infratil is a holding company with investments in the companies described in this prospectus. Bondholders have no claims against, or recourse to the assets of, any of those companies. In a liquidation of the Infratil Group, creditors of Infratil’s subsidiaries and associates would have a prior claim to the assets of those companies ranking ahead of the claim of Infratil’s liquidator (claiming as shareholder in the companies). only the residual assets of the companies, after the claims of the companies’ creditors have been satisfied, would be available to Infratil’s liquidator and therefore Infratil’s creditors (including Bondholders).
ALTERATION OF SECURITIES
Infratil has no right to vary the amount you pay for Infrastructure Bonds once your application has been accepted by Infratil.
the terms of the Infrastructure Bonds may only be altered by an amendment to the trust deed. Infratil and the trustee may agree to amend the trust deed without the consent of Bondholders only if:
-
(a) it is necessary or desirable to correct a manifest error, or to comply with the requirements of any statute or statutory regulations, or the Listing rules;
-
(b) it is of a formal or technical nature;
-
(c) in the opinion of the trustee it is not, or is not likely to become, prejudicial to the general interests of the Bondholders;
-
(d) it does not adversely affect the interests of Bondholders; or
-
(e) the law in new Zealand relating to securities is modified and, in the opinion of the trustee, it is in the interests of the Bondholders of all series of Infrastructure Bonds outstanding under the Infrastructure Bond Programme to amend the trust deed to take account of the modification.
In all other cases, the trust deed may only be amended with the approval of Bondholders by extraordinary resolution.
In accordance with the Listing rules and the trust deed, the rights of Bondholders may not be altered without the approval (by a 75% majority of votes of those entitled to vote and voting) of each “interest group”. In broad terms, an “interest group” is a group of Bondholders whose rights are affected by the proposed alteration in the same way. for these purposes, the issue of further shares, Infrastructure Bonds or other securities which rank equally with, or in priority to, the Infrastructure Bonds, whether as to voting rights, distributions, dividends or otherwise, is deemed not to be an action affecting the rights of Bondholders. If a proposed alteration affects Bondholders of different series of Infrastructure Bonds in the same way, then it is likely that all Bondholders will be a single “interest group” and will vote as a single class. Bondholders of a single series of Infrastructure Bonds issued under the Infrastructure Bond Programme would vote as a single “interest group” to approve alterations specific to that series.
EARLy TERMINATION
subject to certain conditions, Infratil has the right to redeem all or some of the Infrastructure Bonds prior to the Maturity date. Bondholders have no right of early redemption except following an early redemption event. further information on early redemption is on page 36 of this prospectus.
42
RIgHT TO SELL SECURITIES
You are entitled to sell your Infrastructure Bonds at any time, subject to the terms of the trust deed and any applicable securities laws and regulations (including the Listing rules).
You should not attempt to sell Infrastructure Bonds until you know whether, and how many, Infrastructure Bonds have been allotted to you. neither Infratil, the Managers, the organising Participant, the registrar, the trustee, nor any of their respective directors or employees nor any other person accepts any liability or responsibility should you attempt to sell or otherwise deal with any Infrastructure Bonds before receiving a statement recording the number of Infrastructure Bonds (if any) allotted to you.
application has been made to nZX for permission to list the Infrastructure Bonds on the nZX debt Market and all requirements of nZX relating thereto that can be complied with on or before the date of this prospectus have been duly complied with. however, nZX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this prospectus. the nZX debt Market is a registered market operated by nZX Limited which is a registered exchange, regulated under the securities Markets Act 1988.
While Infratil is of the view that a secondary trading market for the Infrastructure Bonds will develop over time, Infratil gives no assurances as to the existence or characteristics of any such secondary market. consequently, you may not be able to sell your Infrastructure Bonds readily or at all, or at prices that will enable you to realise a yield comparable to that of similar instruments, if any, with a developed secondary market. no charges are payable to or by Infratil on any sale of Infrastructure Bonds. however, brokerage at applicable rates is likely to be payable by you on any transfer of your Infrastructure Bonds effected through a nZX firm or other financial intermediary.
In accordance with the Listing rules, Infratil may refuse to register a transfer of Infrastructure Bonds if the transfer would result in the transferee holding less than 5,000 Infrastructure Bonds.
the amount you receive from a sale of Infrastructure Bonds may be more or less than the amount you paid for them. Infratil will not provide compensation for any losses incurred from selling Infrastructure Bonds.
OTHER TERMS OF OFFER AND SECURITIES
all of the terms of the offer and the Infrastructure Bonds being offered are set out in this prospectus (except for those implied by law or set out in the trust deed and series supplement).
