ASX/Media Release

6 November 2023

Supplementary Scheme Booklet regarding increased scheme consideration

Origin Energy Limited (Origin) advises that the Supreme Court of New South Wales has made orders approving the dispatch of the Supplementary Scheme Booklet in relation to the proposed acquisition of Origin involving a Brookfield-led consortium of investors and EIG.

The approval and dispatch of the Supplementary Scheme Booklet follows Origin’s announcement on 2 November 2023 regarding the increased cash consideration offered to all shareholders under the Scheme of Arrangement. If the Scheme is implemented, the revised total cash payment to shareholders will be approximately $9.53 per share.[1]

The Supplementary Scheme Booklet contains information regarding the increased consideration, as well as an updated Scheme timetable. Shareholders should read the Supplementary Scheme Booklet, together with the Scheme Booklet released to the ASX on 19 October 2023, before deciding whether or not to vote in favour of the Scheme.

A copy of the Supplementary Scheme Booklet is attached to this announcement and will also be available at www.originenergy.com.au/scheme2023.

Independent Expert’s conclusion

The Independent Expert, Grant Samuel, maintains its conclusion that the Scheme is fair and reasonable and therefore is in the best interests of Origin shareholders, in the absence of a Superior Proposal. The Independent Expert has issued a supplementary report which is attached to the Supplementary Scheme Booklet as Annexure 1.

The Independent Expert’s conclusion should be read in the context of the full Independent Expert’s Report, Supplementary Independent Expert’s Report, Scheme Booklet and Supplementary Scheme Booklet.

Recommendation of the Origin Board

The Origin Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this revised Scheme at the Scheme Meeting, in the absence of a Superior Proposal and subject to the Independent Expert continuing to conclude that the Scheme is in the best interests of Origin shareholders. Subject to the same qualification, each member of the Origin Board intends to vote, or cause to be voted, any Origin shares held or controlled by them, in favour of the Scheme.

1 Based on the spot AUD/USD exchange rate of 0.633 as at 5.00pm on 31 October 2023. Using the same AUD/USD exchange rate as outlined in the Scheme Booklet, being 0.64 as at the last practicable date of 10 October 2023, the total cash payment to shareholders would be approximately $9.50 per share. The approximately 3 cents per share increase reflected in the current total cash payment of $9.53 per share reflects the change in the AUD/USD exchange rate between 10 October 2023 and 31 October 2023.

==> picture [74 x 85] intentionally omitted <==

The Origin Board considers that the significant increase in the cash consideration reflects the value of Origin’s assets, people, and the company’s strategic positioning for the energy transition. The revised consideration allows Origin shareholders to receive cash for their Origin shares now, rather than be exposed to continuing and future risks and uncertainties associated with Origin’s business. The Origin Board encourages all shareholders to vote in favour of the Scheme.

Voting on the Scheme

The Scheme Meeting will be held at 2.00pm (Sydney time) on 23 November 2023 at The Swissôtel Sydney, 68 Market Street, Sydney, NSW.

Origin shareholders are encouraged to vote on the Scheme either by submitting a directed proxy online or completing and returning a hardcopy proxy form. Alternatively, shareholders can attend the Scheme Meeting on 23 November 2023 in person, or by proxy, attorney or corporate representative. Details regarding the Scheme Meeting are set out in the Notice of Scheme Meeting contained in the Scheme Booklet and are also available at www.originenergy.com.au/scheme2023.

Shareholders who have already submitted their proxy form on the Scheme are able to revise their proxy instruction either online or by completing and returning a replacement proxy form. To be valid, proxy forms must be received by the share registry no later than 2.00pm on Tuesday 21 November 2023. Any subsequent proxy form that is received prior to this time will revoke any previously submitted proxy instruction. Valid proxy forms which have already been submitted by Origin shareholders remain valid unless revoked.

All registered Origin shareholders as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on 21 November 2023 will be eligible to vote at the Scheme Meeting.

Shareholders who have any questions in relation to the Scheme or would like to request a replacement proxy form, should contact the Origin Shareholder Information Line on 1300 540 303 (within Australia) or +61 2 9066 4083 (outside Australia), Monday to Friday between 8.30am and 5.30pm (Sydney time).

Letter from the Chair of the Origin Board

==> picture [165 x 165] intentionally omitted <==

Dear Origin shareholder,

There have been important developments regarding the proposed acquisition of Origin described in the Scheme Booklet dated 18 October 2023 that was previously sent to you.

As announced on 2 November 2023, the BGTF Consortium and EIG have provided a revised offer, and the consideration payable to Origin shareholders under the Scheme has increased from $8.81 per share to $9.53 per share.[1] The revised total cash payment reflects an increase of 69 cents per share and is $1.15 above the closing price of Origin shares of $8.38 on 3 November 2023, being the last full trading day before the date of this Supplementary Scheme Booklet.[2] Further detail regarding the revised consideration payable to Origin shareholders if the Scheme is successful is set out in section 2 of this booklet.

The revised total cash payment is also above the top end of the Independent Expert’s valuation range of $8.45 to $9.48 per share as of 30 June 2023. The Independent Expert has provided a Supplementary Independent Expert’s Report as set out in Annexure 1, maintaining its conclusion that the Scheme is fair and reasonable and therefore is in the best interests of Origin shareholders, in the absence of a Superior Proposal.

I encourage you to read this Supplementary Scheme Booklet, together with the Scheme Booklet, in its entirety as it contains important additional detail regarding the changes to the Scheme.

Your Board unanimously recommends that you vote in favour of the Scheme, in the absence of a Superior Proposal, and subject to the Independent Expert continuing to conclude that the Scheme is in the best interests of Origin shareholders.

Your vote is important. If you wish the Scheme to proceed, it is important that you vote in favour of the Scheme. Further detail regarding how to vote (or change your vote if you have already voted) is contained in section 6.2.

On behalf of the Origin Board, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of Origin.

Yours sincerely,

Overview of revised Scheme

Increase to Scheme Consideration

As announced on 2 November 2023, Origin has entered into an amending deed with the Bidder and Brookfield Renewable Group Australia Pty Ltd (Amending Deed) to increase the total cash payment to Origin Shareholders from approximately $8.81 to approximately $9.53 per Origin Share.[3]

This figure represents the approximate cash amount you will be paid if the Scheme is implemented in accordance with the timetable set out in this Supplementary Scheme Booklet and may increase or decrease based on the AUD/USD rate at the time of conversion.

The revised total cash payment is above the top end of the Independent Expert’s valuation range of $8.45 to $9.48 per share as of 30 June 2023 and represents an increase of approximately 8 per cent relative to the total cash payment outlined in the Scheme Booklet of approximately $8.81 per Origin Share.[4]

The Origin Board unanimously recommends that Origin Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme, in the absence of a Superior Proposal, and subject to the Independent Expert continuing to conclude that the Scheme is in the best interests of Origin Shareholders.[5]

The increased total cash payment comprises:

  • AUD Scheme Consideration of $6.59 per Origin Share held on the Scheme Record Date (less the Special Dividend of 39 cents if determined and paid by Origin before the Scheme is implemented);

  • USD Scheme Consideration of US$1.86 per Origin Share held on the Scheme Record Date, which will be converted to Australian dollars and paid in Australian dollars (unless a valid Currency Election is made to receive US dollars), with an Australian dollar implied value of $2.94 based on the AUD/

USD exchange rate of 0.633 as at 5:00pm on 31 October 2023.[6] The Australian dollar value of the USD Scheme Consideration may increase or decrease based on the AUD/USD exchange rate at the time of conversion; and

  • a fully franked Special Dividend of 39 cents per Origin Share held on the Special Dividend Record Date, which the Origin Board intends to pay subject to certain conditions being met.

Origin Directors will determine, in their absolute discretion, whether to pay any Special Dividend. If a Special Dividend is paid, it will be deducted from the AUD Scheme Consideration. As such, regardless of whether the Special Dividend is paid, Origin Shareholders will still receive the same total cash payment of approximately $9.53 per Origin Share.

The total cash payment of approximately $9.53 per Origin Share is $1.15 per share above the closing price of Origin Shares of $8.38 on 3 November 2023, being the last full trading day before the date of this Supplementary Scheme Booklet.

It is not possible to predict what Origin’s share price would be now if the Scheme had not been proposed. Origin Shareholders should however note that the trading price of Origin Shares is impacted by the proposed Scheme and that the Origin Share price may fall in the absence of the proposed Scheme.

The BGTF Consortium, and EIG have indicated that the increased consideration is their best and final proposal as to price under the Scheme, subject to no Competing Proposal emerging.

Further detail on the increased total cash payment is contained in section 2.1 of this Supplementary Scheme Booklet.

  1. Increased total cash payment is based on the spot AUD/USD foreign exchange rate of 0.633 as at 5.00pm on 31 October 2023. Using the same AUD/USD exchange rate as outlined in the Scheme Booklet, being 0.640 as at the Last Practicable Date of 10 October 2023, the increased total cash payment to Origin Shareholders would be approximately $9.50 per Origin Share. The approximately 3 cents per share increase reflected in the total cash payment of approximately $9.53 per Origin Share reflects the change in the AUD/USD exchange rate between 10 October 2023 and 31 October 2023.

  2. A copy of the Independent Expert’s Report is included in Annexure 1 of the Scheme Booklet dated 18 October 2023 and the Supplementary Independent Expert’s Report is included in Annexure 1 to this Supplementary Scheme Booklet.

  3. Origin Shareholders should, in considering this recommendation, note that (as detailed in section 9.2 of the Scheme Booklet), if the Scheme becomes Effective, the following will occur in relation to the equity incentives and deferred cash awards held by Frank Calabria (Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer): full vesting and exercise of 992,212 unvested share rights, lifting of restrictions on 472,417 restricted Origin Shares and waiving of the deferral period for $1,229,499 deferred cash. Despite this interest in the outcome of the Scheme, Mr Calabria considers that, given the importance of the Scheme and his role as Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, it is important and appropriate for him to provide a recommendation to Origin Shareholders in relation to the Scheme. Additionally, the Origin Board (excluding Mr Calabria) also considers that it is appropriate for Mr Calabria to make a recommendation on the Scheme given his role.

  4. The Australian dollar value of the USD Scheme Consideration may increase or decrease based on the AUD/USD exchange rate at the time of conversion prior to implementation of the Scheme. Refer to the Scheme Booklet dated 18 October 2023 for further detail. Origin and Bidder may seek to enter into foreign currency hedges, including potentially deal contingent hedges, to lock in the exchange rate for the conversion of USD Scheme Consideration into Australian dollars after the Effective Date. Refer to section 2.2 for further detail.

Overview of revised Scheme continued

Reasons for the Origin Directors’ Recommendation

The Origin Board considers the revised proposal to be a significant increase in the cash consideration offered under the Scheme, which reflects the value of Origin’s assets, people, and the company’s strategic positioning for the energy transition. The revised consideration is now above the top end of the Independent Expert’s 30 June 2023 valuation range, allowing Origin Shareholders to receive cash for their Origin Shares now, rather than be exposed to continuing and future risks and uncertainties associated with Origin’s business. The Origin Board encourages all Origin Shareholders to vote in favour of the Scheme, in the absence of a Superior Proposal and subject to the Independent Expert continuing to conclude that the Scheme is in the best interests of Origin Shareholders.

Origin is well-placed to navigate the energy transition over the next decade. However, that path involves considerable uncertainty, with significant levels of capital investment and an uncertain regulatory environment. As investors operating in an unlisted environment who can take a long-term view on deployment of capital, the Origin Board believes the BGTF Consortium and EIG will be responsible custodians of Origin’s businesses and are well positioned to help Australia navigate the challenges that exist in delivering the energy transition.

Brookfield is one of the world’s largest investors in renewable power and climate transition assets and will complement Origin’s existing capabilities by bringing additional capital, procurement capability and global renewables development expertise. The Origin Board believes the BGTF Consortium’s ownership of Origin’s Energy Markets business will accelerate the build out of cleaner energy at a speed and scale much greater than Origin’s existing plans.

Brookfield’s publicly stated intention is to invest $20 billion to $30 billion in renewables and storage assets by 2033 so that the majority of Origin’s customer demand is serviced by clean energy sources, and to support Origin’s 1.5-degree Paris-aligned emissions pathway.

The Origin Board unanimously recommends that Origin Shareholders vote in favour of this revised Scheme at the Scheme Meeting, in the absence of a Superior Proposal and subject to the Independent Expert continuing to conclude that the Scheme is in the best interests of Origin Shareholders. Subject to the same qualification, each member of the Origin Board intends to vote, or cause to be voted, any Origin Shares held or controlled by them, in favour of the Scheme.

Independent Expert’s Conclusion

The Independent Expert assessed the full underlying value of Origin Shares as at 30 June 2023 at between $8.45 and $9.48 per share. The increased total cash payment of approximately $9.53 exceeds this range. As set out in the Supplementary Independent Expert’s report at Annexure 1, the Independent Expert maintains its conclusion that the Scheme is fair and reasonable and therefore is in the best interests of Origin Shareholders, in the absence of a Superior Proposal.[7]

A copy of the Independent Expert’s Report (which includes the Independent Technical Specialist’s Report) is included in Annexure 1 of the Scheme Booklet. The Independent Expert has also issued the Supplementary Independent Expert’s Report attached to this Supplementary Scheme Booklet as Annexure 1.

The Origin Directors encourage you to read the Independent Expert’s Report, together with the Supplementary Independent Expert’s Report in their entirety.

Other Information

When agreeing in late 2022 to engage with the Consortium to progress its initial non-binding indicative proposal, Origin negotiated certain customary standstill arrangements. As part of the negotiations to increase the total cash payment, Origin has now agreed certain amendments to the existing standstill arrangements, which seek to give all Origin Shareholders a potential opportunity to sell their Origin Shares if the Scheme is not approved by the Requisite Majorities at the Scheme Meeting and the Consortium subsequently acquires more than 5% of Origin Shares. Under these arrangements, in the six months following an unsuccessful Scheme vote, any acquisition by the BGTF Consortium or EIG (or their related entities) of more than 5 per cent of the issued capital of Origin must be accompanied by an off market takeover bid for 100 per cent of Origin. Such a takeover must be subject to a 50.1 per cent minimum acceptance condition (which cannot be waived without Origin’s consent) and be launched within three months of any purchase above 5 per cent.

  1. The Independent Expert notes in its Supplementary Independent Expert’s Report that if the Scheme is implemented, the revised total cash payment that will be received by Origin Shareholders using the AUD/USD exchange rate adopted by Grant Samuel of 0.65 is $9.45 per share, and therefore is at the top of the expert’s valuation range of $8.45 to $9.48 per share. The Independent Expert also notes that using the AUD/USD exchange rate of 0.633 as at 5.00pm on 31 October 2023, the increased total cash payment of approximately $9.53 is slightly above the top end of Grant Samuel’s valuation range.

Scheme Timetable

Pursuant to the Amending Deed, amendments have been made to the Scheme Implementation Deed dated 27 March 2023 and the Scheme to reflect the increased total cash payment and a delay in the Implementation Date of approximately 6 weeks (and consequential changes to the Scheme timetable). A copy of the Scheme as amended by the Amending Deed is included in Annexure 2 of this Supplementary Scheme Booklet.

The BGTF Consortium and EIG required this delay in implementation timing of approximately 6 weeks in order to offer the increased Scheme Consideration. Accordingly, there have been changes to certain key dates in connection with the Scheme, including an amendment to the date of payment of the Special Dividend (if paid) and the Implementation Date when the Scheme Consideration (other than the Special Dividend) will be paid.

The revised timetable is set out in section 1 of this Supplementary Scheme Booklet.

The Scheme Meeting date is unchanged and is scheduled for 2.00pm on 23 November 2023 at the Swissôtel Sydney, 68 Market Street, Sydney, NSW.

2. Revised Scheme Consideration

2.1 Increase to Scheme Consideration

Origin, Bidder and Brookfield Renewable Group Australia Pty Ltd have entered into an Amending Deed to increase the total cash payment to Origin Shareholders to approximately $9.53 per Origin Share.[1] The BGTF Consortium and EIG have confirmed that the increased consideration is their best and final proposal as to price under the Scheme, subject to no Competing Proposal emerging.

The Scheme Consideration is still comprised of both an Australian dollar and US dollar amount and will be adjusted to deduct the amount of any Special Dividend that is paid to Origin Shareholders prior to Implementation.

If the Scheme is implemented, Origin Shareholders will receive a total cash payment of approximately $9.53 per Origin Share, comprising the following (together the Total Cash Payment):[2]

  • AUD Scheme Consideration of $6.59 per Origin Share held on the Scheme Record Date (less the Special Dividend of 39 cents if determined and paid by Origin before the Scheme is implemented). This represents an increase to the previous AUD Scheme Consideration of $6.25 per Origin Share set out in the Scheme Booklet dated 18 October 2023;

  • USD Scheme Consideration of US$1.86 per Origin Share held on the Scheme Record Date, which will be converted to Australian dollars and paid in Australian dollars (unless a valid Currency Election is made to receive US dollars), with an Australian dollar implied value of $2.94 based on the AUD/USD exchange rate of 0.633 as at 5:00pm on 31 October 2023. This represents an increase to the previous USD Scheme Consideration of US$1.64 per Origin Share set out in the Scheme Booklet dated 18 October 2023. The Australian dollar value of the USD Scheme Consideration may increase or decrease based on the AUD/USD exchange rate at the time of conversion; and

  • a fully franked Special Dividend of 39 cents per Origin Share held on the Special Dividend Record Date, which the Origin Board intends to pay subject to certain conditions being met.[3]

Origin Directors will determine, in their absolute discretion, whether to pay any Special Dividend. If a Special Dividend is paid, it will be deducted from the AUD Scheme Consideration. As such, regardless of whether the Special Dividend is paid, Origin Shareholders will still receive the same Total Cash Payment of approximately $9.53 per Origin Share.

The total cash payment of approximately $9.53 per Origin Share is $1.15 per share above the closing price of Origin Shares of $8.38 on 3 November 2023, being the last trading day before the date of this Supplementary Scheme Booklet.

The Total Cash Payment of approximately $9.53 per Origin Share represents an approximate 64 per cent premium to Origin’s closing price of $5.81 per share on 9 November 2022, which is the last trading day prior to the initial announcement of the Consortium’s proposal.

Origin notes the significant passage of time and change in market circumstances since 9 November 2022, meaning the share price on that date may no longer be representative of where Origin Shares may trade today if the Scheme does not proceed. The premium noted above reflects the attractiveness of the Total Cash Payment of approximately $9.53 compared to the price of Origin Shares in the period prior to first announcing the proposed transaction with the Consortium.

It is not possible to predict what Origin’s share price would be now if the Scheme had not been proposed or what the premia would be. Origin Shareholders should however note that the trading price of Origin Shares is impacted by the proposed Scheme and that the Origin Share price may fall in the absence of the proposed Scheme.

  1. Based on the spot AUD/USD foreign exchange rate of 0.633 as at 5.00pm on 31 October 2023.

  2. This amount of the Total Cash Payment:

  3. assumes an Implementation Date of 31 January 2024;

  4. is an implied value, based on the spot AUD/USD exchange rate of 0.633 as at 5.00pm on 31 October 2023;

  5. for Origin Shareholders that do not submit a Currency Election to receive a US dollar payment, will depend on the AUD/USD exchange rate at the time of conversion, and the actual total cash payment paid to Origin Shareholders may be lower (or higher) than this amount; and

  6. assumes 1,728,724,644 Origin Shares on issue at the Scheme Record Date.

  7. Refer to Section 4.3 of the Scheme Booklet for further detail on Special Dividend, including conditions.

2.2 Conversion of USD Scheme Consideration

Origin Shareholders can elect to have the USD Scheme Consideration paid in US dollars by making a valid Currency Election prior to the Election Time. Section 4.4 of the Scheme Booklet provides further detail regarding the Currency Election.

For Origin Shareholders who do not make a valid Currency Election, the total cash payment they receive in Australian dollars may vary depending on fluctuations in the AUD/USD exchange rate between the date of this Supplementary Scheme Booklet and conversion of the USD Scheme Consideration ahead of implementation of the Scheme (which is now scheduled to occur on 31 January 2024).

The below table illustrates the potential impact on the USD Scheme Consideration based on an FX rate conversion to AUD.[4]

Converted US$1.86/sh AUD Scheme
AUD/USD USD Scheme Consideration Consideration Total Cash Payment
FX Rate (A$/sh) (A$/sh) (A$/sh)
0.500 3.72 6.59 10.31
0.550 3.38 6.59 9.97
0.600 3.10 6.59 9.69
0.633 2.94 6.59 9.53
0.650 2.86 6.59 9.45
0.700 2.66 6.59 9.25
0.750 2.48 6.59 9.07
0.800 2.33 6.59 8.91

As shown in the above table, if the Australian dollar rises against the US dollar (compared to the exchange rate of 0.633 used to calculate the implied value of the USD Scheme Consideration in this Supplementary Scheme Booklet), the Australian dollar amount of the USD Scheme Consideration (when converted) will fall and the Total Cash Payment (as expressed in Australian dollars) will be lower.

Conversely, if the Australian dollar declines against the US dollar (compared to the exchange rate of 0.633 used to calculate the implied value of the USD Scheme Consideration in this Supplementary Scheme Booklet), the Australian dollar amount of the USD Scheme Consideration (when converted) will increase and the Total Cash Payment (as expressed in Australian dollars) will be higher.

If the Scheme is approved by Origin Shareholders, the Scheme will become Effective on 28 November 2023 and is expected to be implemented on 31 January 2024. Given this longer period prior to the Implementation Date (compared to the previous Scheme timetable), Origin and Bidder may seek to enter into foreign currency hedging arrangements, including potentially deal contingent hedges, after the Effective Date to lock in the exchange rate for the conversion to Australian dollars of some or all of the USD Scheme Consideration that will be paid to Scheme Shareholders in Australian dollars. The intent of these arrangements would be to limit Origin Shareholders’ exposure to unfavourable movements in the AUD/USD exchange rate (namely, a strengthening of the AUD relative to the USD) and to seek to give earlier certainty as to the amount of Australian dollar proceeds that Origin Shareholders (who do not submit a Currency Election) will receive.

The decision on whether and when to enter into foreign currency hedges ahead of the Implementation Date will be made by Origin and will depend on the associated costs to shareholders and impact on conversion rate and level of volatility in the relevant foreign exchange markets at the time. Any associated costs of these arrangements will be reflected in the resulting exchange rate used in the conversion of USD Scheme Consideration into Australian dollars.

  1. Amounts in this table have been rounded to two decimal places so there may be discrepancies between totals due to the effects of rounding.

Origin Energy Supplementary Scheme Booklet

2. Revised Scheme Consideration continued

As it is not possible to predict future exchange rate movements, if the Australian dollar subsequently declines against the US dollar (compared to the relevant exchange rate that applies under the foreign currency hedges), the ultimate exchange rate that applies to the conversion of the USD Scheme Consideration may not be as favourable to Origin Shareholders as may have otherwise applied, had the hedge arrangements not been in place.

In order to facilitate the potential phased conversion prior to the Implementation Date of the USD Scheme Consideration payable to Scheme Shareholders in Australian dollars, the Election Time for the submission of Currency Elections will remain 7.00pm on 4 December 2023. It is proposed that Origin Shares will continue to trade until close of trading on 11 January 2024. Scheme Shareholders who become Origin Shareholders after 4 December 2023 will not be able to submit a Currency Election and will be deemed to have elected to receive all of their Scheme Consideration in Australian dollars. Refer to section 4.4 of the Scheme Booklet for further detail regarding the Currency Election.

2.3 Amendment to Additional Consideration

As described in more detail in the Scheme Booklet, the original Scheme Implementation Deed provided for Additional Consideration to be paid as part of the Scheme Consideration to compensate Origin Shareholders for potential delays in the timing of implementation of the Scheme. As part of the revisions to the Scheme, the Additional Consideration has been amended so that if the Scheme is implemented after 31 January 2024, the Total Cash Payment will increase by approximately 0.15 cents per day per Origin Share.

As such, under the terms of the Amending Deed, the Additional Consideration will now begin to accrue on and from 1 February 2024 rather than 1 December 2023.

2.4 Special Dividend

The Origin Board intends to pay a fully franked Special Dividend of 39 cents per Origin Share held on the Special Dividend Record Date, subject to certain conditions being met. The Origin Directors will determine, in their absolute discretion, whether or not to pay any Special Dividend. If a Special Dividend is paid, it will be deducted from the AUD Scheme Consideration. As such, regardless of whether the Special Dividend is paid, you will still receive the same total cash payment of approximately $9.53 per Origin Share.

For those Origin Shareholders who can realise the benefit of franking credits, the franking credit attached to a Special Dividend of 39 cents per share is approximately 16.7 cents per share.[5]

Origin will also provide an updated calculation of the approximate amount of the Total Cash Payment, including the Origin Board’s final decision in relation to the payment of a Special Dividend, by way of ASX announcement prior to the Scheme Meeting.

  1. When assessing the benefit of franking credits attached to any Special Dividend, Origin Shareholders should also seek independent professional taxation advice on this matter in respect of their individual circumstances. Refer to section 8 of the Scheme Booklet for further information.

3. Supplementary information about Origin

3.1 Octopus capital raising

Origin is considering a further investment of capital into Octopus Energy to accelerate the growth of the business. If undertaken, Origin would expect any investment in the near term to be at a valuation of Octopus Energy broadly consistent with the valuation presented in the Independent Expert’s Report.

4. Supplementary information about Bidder

4.1 Funding of the Scheme Consideration

As set out in section 6.3(c) of the Scheme Booklet dated 18 October 2023, in broad terms, Bidder’s acquisition funding for the Scheme will be sourced from:

  • equity funding under a binding equity commitment letter issued by EIG Management Company, LLC (which will ultimately source its funding from MidOcean Energy’s investors);

  • debt funding under a term loan facility with various banks being well-known international banks who are active in the debt market for transactions of this nature;

  • a loan from Eos Finco, an affiliate of Brookfield and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Brookfield LP, to Bidder via a loan note for an amount equal to the agreed purchase price for the Brookfield EM Business under the Sale Transaction (the EMB Loan Note); and

  • a loan from ConocoPhillips via a loan note for an amount equal to the agreed purchase price for a sale of a 2.49 per cent shareholding in Australia Pacific LNG following the Scheme Transaction.

The above funding arrangements are unchanged save for an increase in the funds available to Bidder under the equity commitments described in section 4.2 below.

On the basis of the arrangements described above and the updated equity commitments set out in section 4.2 below, Bidder is of the opinion that it has a reasonable basis for holding the view, and holds the view, that it will be able to satisfy funding commitments in respect to the increased Scheme Consideration described in this Supplementary Scheme Booklet.

4.2 Updated Equity Commitments

Legally binding equity commitment letters (each, a Commitment Letter ) already made available to Bidder have been amended to increase the equity commitment available to Bidder, as set out in the table below. The Commitment Letters funded by Brookfield or its affiliates (as reflected in the table below) form part of the funding to be satisfied by way of the EMB Loan Note.

Document Funding Party Commitment
Equity Commitment Letter EIG Management Company, LLC US$1,726,000,000
Funding Commitment Letter Brookfield Global Transition Fund GP, L.P. (in its capacity as A$5,160,578,682
general partner of Brookfield Global Transition Fund-A, L.P.;
Brookfield Global Transition Fund-B, L.P.; and Brookfield
Global Transition Fund-C, L.P.) and Brookfield Global
Transition Fund GP S.A r.l. (in its capacity as general partner
of Brookfield Global Transition Fund (ER) SCSp)
FundingCommitment Letter Brookfield Corporation A$3,257,983,605

Under each Commitment Letter, the relevant Funding Party (as set out in the second column of the above table) commits, on a several basis, to cause Bidder to receive the amount of its commitment in cash by procuring that those funds are on-loaned or otherwise contributed to Bidder in immediately available Australian dollar-denominated or US dollar-denominated funds (as applicable), for the purpose of enabling Bidder to pay the relevant portion of the aggregate Scheme Consideration when due in accordance with the terms of the Scheme. The funding commitment of each Funding Party is subject only to the Scheme becoming Effective (and is otherwise unconditional).

5. Update to Tax implications

Section 8.3(c) of the Scheme Booklet contains general tax information regarding the taxation consequences of the Dividends, including when an Origin Shareholder will be considered a ‘qualified person’, which is one of the requirements that Origin Shareholders must satisfy to realise the benefit of franking credits attached to the Dividends.

In order for an Origin Shareholder to be a ‘qualified person’ they must hold their Origin Shares ‘at-risk’ for a continuous period of not less than 45 days (not including the day of the share’s acquisition or disposal) during a prescribed period in relation to the Dividends.

Origin Shareholders will not be treated as holding their Origin Shares ‘at-risk’ on any days on which Origin Shareholders held positions that reduced their exposure to gains and losses below 30 per cent, although those days do not break the continuity of the ‘at-risk’ period.

Origin Shareholders will cease to be considered to hold their shares ‘at-risk’ from the Scheme Record Date.

As the Dividends are taken into account in determining the amount of the Scheme Consideration, the so-called ‘related payments’ rule will apply to Origin Shareholders.

The timetable for the Scheme has been revised as set out in further detail in section 1 of this Supplementary Scheme Booklet. Accordingly, the prescribed periods within which Origin Shareholders must hold their shares ‘at risk’ for a continuous period of 45 days are expected to be:

  • from 16 January 2023 to 16 April 2023 (inclusive) in respect of the interim Permitted Dividend;

  • from 24 July 2023 to 22 October 2023 (inclusive) in respect of the final Permitted Dividend; and

  • from 2 December 2023 to 23 January 2024 (inclusive) in respect of the Special Dividend.

The Class Ruling is expected to contain the ATO’s views as to when an Origin Shareholder will satisfy the relevant holding period test with respect to the Dividends.

Annexure 1. Supplementary Independent Expert’s Report

6 November 2023 The Directors Origin Energy Limited 100 Barangaroo Avenue Barangaroo NSW 2000 Dear Directors

Proposal from BGTF Consortium and MidOcean Supplementary Letter – Confirmation of Opinion

1 Introduction On 27 March 2023, Origin Energy Limited (“Origin”) announced that it had entered into a binding scheme implementation deed with Brookfield Renewable Group Australia Pty Ltd and MidOcean Reef BidCo Pty Ltd[1] (“MidOcean”) for the acquisition by a Brookfield-led consortium of investors (the “BGTF Consortium”) and EIG Management Company, LLC (“EIG”) (together, the “Consortium”) of all the issued shares in Origin by way of a scheme of arrangement (“Scheme”). The cash consideration that was to be received by shareholders (excluding any special dividend) comprised:  $6.251 per share (including additional consideration of $0.027 per share); plus  US$1.641 per share. Based on a US$/A$ exchange rate of 0.65, the Australian dollar equivalent of the cash consideration that was to be received by shareholders was $8.78 per Origin share[2] . If approved by shareholders, implementation of the Scheme was expected to occur on 18 December 2023. The Origin Board unanimously recommended that shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme, in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to an independent expert concluding that the Scheme is in the best interests of Origin shareholders. The Origin Board engaged Grant Samuel & Associates Pty Limited (“Grant Samuel”) to prepare an independent expert’s report in relation to the Scheme setting out whether, in its opinion, the Scheme is in the best interests of Origin shareholders (the “Independent Expert’s Report”). In the Independent Expert’s Report, dated 18 October 2023, Grant Samuel estimated the full underlying value of Origin as at 30 June 2023 to be in the range $14.6-16.4 billion, which corresponds to $8.45-9.48 per share. As the cash consideration of $8.78[2] per share fell within the valuation range, Grant Samuel concluded that the Scheme is fair and reasonable. Accordingly, in Grant Samuel’s opinion, the Scheme is in the best interests of Origin shareholders in the absence of a superior proposal. Grant Samuel’s full report is included as Annexure 1 to the Scheme Booklet dated 18 October 2023 which was released to the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”), has been sent to shareholders by Origin and is also available on Origin’s website. _________________________ 1 MidOcean Reef BidCo Pty Ltd is an entity controlled by EIG (together with its affiliates). 2 The value attributed by Grant Samuel to the cash consideration that was to be received by shareholders of $8.78 per share differs from the value set out in the Scheme Booklet of $8.81 per share as the US$/A$ exchange rate adopted in the Scheme Booklet was 0.64 (which was the spot rate on 10 October 2023).

Annexure 1. Supplementary Independent Expert’s Report

17

The Scheme meeting is to be held on 23 November 2023. The directors of Origin have requested that Grant Samuel review its opinion in light of matters that have arisen or changed since the release of the Scheme Booklet, including changes to the Scheme that were announced by Origin on 2 November 2023. A copy of this letter will accompany the supplementary disclosure to the Scheme Booklet (“Supplementary Scheme Booklet”) to be released to the ASX and sent to shareholders by Origin. 2 Changes to the Scheme and Additional Information The changes to the Scheme are set out in detail in the Supplementary Scheme Booklet. In summary:  the cash consideration that will be received by shareholders (excluding any special dividend determined and paid by Origin before the Scheme is implemented) will comprise: • $6.588 per share; plus • US$1.861 per share. Based on a US$/A$ exchange rate of 0.65 (the US$/A$ exchange rate adopted by Grant Samuel in its valuation of Origin’s investment in Australia Pacific LNG Pty Limited in its Independent Expert’s Report), the Australian dollar equivalent of the cash consideration that will be received by shareholders is $9.45 per Origin share (“revised cash consideration”). At the US$/A$ exchange rate adopted in the Supplementary Scheme Booklet of 0.633 (which was the spot exchange rate on 31 October 2023), the value attributed to the revised cash consideration that would be received by shareholders was $9.53 per share. Shareholders should note that the US dollar component of the revised cash consideration (US$1.861 per share) will be converted to Australian dollars based on the prevailing exchange rate at the time of conversion prior to implementation of the Scheme[3] . Accordingly, the Australian dollar equivalent of the revised cash consideration will change depending on the US$/A$ exchange rate at that time. The Consortium has confirmed that the revised cash consideration is its best and final proposal as to price under the Scheme, subject to no competing proposal emerging;  implementation of the Scheme is expected to occur on 31 January 2024. No additional consideration will be paid as a result of the current delay in implementation of the Scheme (although it will be paid if implementation is further delayed beyond 31 January 2024); and  Origin has agreed certain amendments to the existing standstill arrangements. Under these arrangements, in the six months following an unsuccessful Scheme vote, any acquisition by the Consortium (or individual members) of more than 5% of Origin’s issued capital must be accompanied by an off market takeover bid for 100% of Origin (which must be subject to a 50.1% minimum acceptance condition and be launched within three months of any purchase above 5%). The Origin Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the revised Scheme in the absence of a superior proposal and subject to the independent expert continuing to conclude that the Scheme is in the best interests of Origin shareholders. Subject to the same qualification, each member of the Origin Board intends to vote, or cause to be voted, any Origin shares held or controlled by them, in favour of the Scheme. In addition, on 31 October 2023, Origin released its Quarterly Report for the period to 30 September 2023, which disclosed that:  Energy Markets experienced lower sales volumes across the business as: _________________________ 3 Although Origin and MidOcean may seek to enter into foreign currency hedging arrangements, including potentially deal contingent hedges, after the Effective Date of the Scheme (which is expected to be 28 November 2023) to lock in the exchange rate for the conversion to Australian dollars of some or all of the US dollar cash consideration that will be paid to shareholders in Australian dollars.

Annexure 1. Supplementary Independent Expert’s Report continued

• electricity sales volumes declined by 6% compared to the prior comparable period following milder weather conditions, increased energy efficiency and solar uptake; and • natural gas sales volumes fell by 21% due to milder weather conditions and lower internal generation requirements. Capital expenditure increased in the quarter due to the commencement of construction of the Eraring battery as well as the settlement of a land purchase in the New England Renewable Energy Zone;  APLNG revenue fell by 15% compared to the prior comparable period despite increased production (i.e. arising from workover and field optimisation activities) as a result of lower average realised prices across LNG and domestic gas sales; and  Octopus Energy maintained its growth momentum in customer acquisitions and licencing agreements and is continuing to pursue a range of growth options in the United Kingdom and internationally. Origin management has confirmed that there is no other information that Grant Samuel should be aware of in reviewing the opinion set out in its Independent Expert’s Report. In particular, at the time of publication of the Independent Expert’s Report, Grant Samuel was aware that Origin was considering a potential further investment in Octopus Energy Group Limited (“Octopus Energy”) as referred to in the Supplementary Scheme Booklet and is aware of the potential terms of this investment should it proceed. This was not disclosed in the Independent Expert’s Report on the basis that this potential investment was not disclosed at the time and was commercially sensitive information. However, the potential terms of the proposed capital raising have been reflected in Grant Samuel’s valuation range for Octopus Energy. 3 Impact on Opinion Grant Samuel has considered the proposed changes to the Scheme and the additional information and their implications for Origin shareholders in so far as they impact the conclusions drawn in its opinion on the Scheme. In its Independent Expert’s Report dated 18 October 2023, Grant Samuel estimated the full underlying value of Origin as at 30 June 2023 to be in the range $14.6-16.4 billion, which corresponds to $8.45-9.48 per share. The information included in Origin’s Quarterly Report for the period to 30 September 2023 and the Supplementary Scheme Booklet do not contain any information that would cause Grant Samuel to change its full underlying value of Origin. The revised cash consideration that will be received by shareholders if the Scheme is implemented of $9.45 per Origin share (based on a US$/A$ exchange rate of 0.65, the exchange rate adopted by Grant Samuel in its valuation of Origin’s investment in Australia Pacific LNG Pty Limited in its Independent Expert’s Report) is at the top end of the valuation range. Accordingly, Grant Samuel remains of the view that the Scheme is fair and reasonable and therefore is in the best interests of Origin shareholders in the absence of a superior proposal. At the US$/A$ exchange rate adopted in the Supplementary Scheme Booklet of 0.633 (which was the spot rate on 31 October 2023), the value attributed to the revised cash consideration of $9.53 was slightly above the top end of Grant Samuel’s valuation range. 4 Other Matters This letter should be read in conjunction with the Independent Expert’s Report dated 18 October 2023 included as Annexure 1 to the Scheme Booklet. In particular, all limitations, disclaimers and declarations set out in that report apply in full to this letter.

Annexure 1. Supplementary Independent Expert’s Report

19

An initial version of this supplementary letter was issued on 3 November 2023. As a result of subsequent changes to the Supplementary Scheme Booklet and a request for additional disclosure by Origin, this second version of the supplementary letter, dated 6 November 2023, was issued. There was no change to Grant Samuel’s analysis or conclusions as a result of the subsequent changes to the Supplementary Scheme Booklet or the additional disclosure.

This letter is general financial product advice only and has been prepared without taking into account the objectives, financial situation or needs of individual Origin shareholders. Accordingly, before acting in relation to their investment, shareholders should consider the appropriateness of the advice having regard to their own objectives, financial situation or needs. Shareholders should read the Scheme Booklet issued by Origin in relation to the Scheme.

Grant Samuel has not been engaged to provide a recommendation to shareholders in relation to the Scheme, the responsibility for which lies with the directors of Origin. In any event, the decision whether to vote for or against the Scheme is a matter for individual shareholders, based on their own views as to value and business strategy, their expectations about future economic and market conditions and their particular circumstances including risk profile, liquidity preference, investment strategy, portfolio structure and tax position. Shareholders who are in doubt as to the action they should take in relation to the Scheme should consult their own professional adviser.

Similarly, it is a matter for individual shareholders as to whether to buy, hold or sell shares in Origin. This is an investment decision upon which Grant Samuel does not offer an opinion and is independent of a decision on whether to vote for or against the Scheme. Shareholders should consult their own professional adviser in this regard.

Grant Samuel has prepared a Financial Services Guide as required by the Corporations Act, 2001 (Cth). The Financial Services Guide is included as Appendix 1 to this letter.

The opinion is made as at the date of this letter and reflects circumstances and conditions as at that date. Yours faithfully GRANT SAMUEL & ASSOCIATES PTY LIMITED

5.3 Provision of Scheme Consideration

(a) The Bidder must, and Origin must use its best endeavours to procure that the Bidder does, by no later than the Business Day before the Implementation Date, deposit, or procure the deposit, in cleared funds an amount equal to:

(1) the aggregate amount in Australian dollars of the Scheme Consideration which is payable to all Scheme Shareholders, into an Australian dollar denominated trust account with an ADI operated by Origin as trustee for the Scheme Shareholders, (provided that any interest on the amounts deposited (less bank fees and other charges) will be credited to the Bidder’s account); and

(2) the aggregate amount in US dollars of the Scheme Consideration which is payable to all Scheme Shareholders, into a US dollar denominated trust account with an ADI operated by Origin as trustee for the Scheme Shareholders, (provided that any interest on the amounts deposited (less bank fees and other charges) will be credited to the Bidder’s account).

(b) On the Implementation Date, subject to funds having been deposited in accordance with clause 5.3(a), Origin must pay or procure the payment of that Scheme Consideration from the trust accounts referred to in clause 5.3(a) to each Scheme Shareholder as that Scheme Shareholder is entitled under clause 5.1.

(c) The obligations of Origin under clause 5.3(b) will be satisfied by Origin (in its absolute discretion, and despite any election referred to in clause 5.3(c)(1) or authority referred to in clause 5.3(c)(2) made or given by the Scheme Shareholder):

(1) if a Scheme Shareholder has, before the Scheme Record Date, made a valid election in accordance with the requirements of the Origin Registry to receive dividend payments from Origin by electronic funds transfer to a bank account nominated by the Scheme Shareholder, paying, or procuring the payment of, the relevant amount of Scheme Consideration by electronic means in accordance with that election;

(2) paying, or procuring the payment of, the relevant amount of Scheme Consideration by electronic means to a bank account (or two bank accounts for Scheme Shareholders who have made a valid Currency Election) nominated by the Scheme Shareholder by an appropriate authority from the Scheme Shareholder to Origin; or

(3) otherwise, dispatching, or procuring the dispatch of, a cheque for the relevant amount of Scheme Consideration in Australian currency to the Scheme Shareholder by prepaid post to their Registered Address (as at the Scheme Record Date), such cheque being drawn in the name of the Scheme Shareholder (or in the case of joint holders, in accordance with the procedures set out in clause 5.4).

(d) To the extent that, following satisfaction of Origin’s obligations under clause 5.3(b), there is a surplus in the amount held by Origin as trustee for the

page 6

Annexure 2. Scheme of Arrangement as amended by Amending Deedw

27

==> picture [84 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

Scheme Shareholders in either trust account referred to in that clause, that surplus must be paid by Origin to the Bidder.

(e) If, following satisfaction of the Bidder's obligations under clause 5.3(a) but prior to the occurrence of all of the events described in clause 4.2 this Scheme lapses under clause 3.3:

  • (1) Origin must immediately repay (or cause to be repaid) to or at the direction of the Bidder the funds that were deposited in the Trust Accounts plus any interest on the amounts deposited (less bank fees and other charges);

(2) the obligation to transfer Scheme Shares, together with all rights and entitlements attaching to the Scheme Shares as at the Implementation Date, to the Bidder under clause 4.2 will immediately cease;

  • (3) the Bidder must return the Scheme Transfers, if provided pursuant to clause 4.2; and

  • (4) Origin is no longer obliged to enter, or procure the entry of, the name of the Bidder in the Share Register in accordance with clause 4.2(b).

  • 5.4 Joint holders

In the case of Scheme Shares held in joint names:

(a) subject to clause 5.3(c), the Scheme Consideration is payable to the joint holders and any cheque required to be sent under this Scheme will be made payable to the joint holders and sent to either, at the sole discretion of Origin, the holder whose name appears first in the Share Register as at the Scheme Record Date or to the joint holders; and

(b) any other document required to be sent under this Scheme, will be forwarded to either, at the sole discretion of Origin, the holder whose name appears first in the Share Register as at the Scheme Record Date or to the joint holders. 5.5 Fractional entitlements and splitting (a) Where the calculation of the Scheme Consideration to be issued to a particular Scheme Shareholder would result in the Scheme Shareholder becoming entitled to a fraction of a cent, the fractional entitlement will be rounded down to the nearest whole cent.

(b) If the Bidder is of the opinion (acting reasonably) that one or more Scheme Shareholders have, before the Scheme Record Date, been party to shareholding splitting or division or any similar action in an attempt to obtain an advantage in respect of the Scheme Consideration they would otherwise have been entitled to receive, the Bidder may direct Origin to give notice to those Scheme Shareholders:

(1) setting out the names and Registered Addresses as shown in the Share Register;

  • (2) stating that opinion; and

(3) attributing all Scheme Shares held by all of them to one of them specifically identified in the notice,

and, after such notice has been given, the Scheme Shareholder specifically identified in the notice as the deemed holder of all specified Scheme Shares will, for the purposes of the provisions of the Scheme, be taken to hold all those Scheme Shares and each of the other Scheme Shareholders whose names and

Annexure 2. Scheme of Arrangement as amended by Amending Deed continued

==> picture [84 x 37] intentionally omitted <==

Registered Addresses are set out in the notice will, for the purposes of the provisions of the Scheme, be taken to hold no Scheme Shares. The Bidder, in complying with the provisions of the Scheme relating to it in respect of the Scheme Shareholder specifically identified in the notice as the deemed holder of all the specified Scheme Shares, will be taken to have satisfied and discharged its obligations to the other Scheme Shareholders named in the notice under the terms of the Scheme.

5.6 Unclaimed monies

  • (a) Origin may cancel a cheque issued under this clause 5 if the cheque: (1) is returned to Origin; or

(2) has not been presented for payment within six months after the date on which the cheque was sent.

(b) During the period of 12 months commencing on the Implementation Date, on request in writing from a Scheme Shareholder to Origin (or the Origin Registry) (which request may not be made until the date which is 20 Business Days after the Implementation Date), Origin must reissue a cheque that was previously cancelled under this clause 5.6.

(c) The Unclaimed Money Act 1995 (NSW) will apply in relation to any Scheme Consideration which becomes ‘unclaimed money’ (as defined in section 7 of the Unclaimed Money Act 1995 (NSW)), but any interest or other benefit accruing from unclaimed Scheme Consideration will be to the benefit of the Bidder.

5.7 Orders of a court or Government Agency (a) If written notice is given to Origin (or the Origin Registry) or the Bidder of an order or direction made by a court of competent jurisdiction or by another Government Agency that:

(1) requires consideration to be provided to a third party (either through payment of a sum or the issuance of a security) in respect of Scheme Shares held by a particular Scheme Shareholder, which would otherwise be payable or required to be issued to that Scheme Shareholder by Origin in accordance with this clause 5, then Origin shall be entitled to procure that provision of that consideration is made in accordance with that order or direction; or

(2) prevents Origin from providing consideration to any particular Scheme Shareholder in accordance with this clause 5, or the payment or issuance of such consideration is otherwise prohibited by applicable law, Origin shall be entitled to (as applicable), retain an amount, in Australian dollars or US dollars, equal to the number of Scheme Shares held by that Scheme Shareholder multiplied by the Scheme Consideration, until such time as provision of the Scheme Consideration in accordance with this clause 5 is permitted by that (or another) order or direction or otherwise by law. (b) To the extent that amounts are so deducted or withheld in accordance with clause 5.7(a), such deducted or withheld amounts will be treated for all purposes under this Scheme as having been paid to the person in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made, provided that such deducted or withheld amounts are actually remitted as required.

6 Dealings in Origin Shares

6.1 Determination of Scheme Shareholders

To establish the identity of the Scheme Shareholders, dealings in Origin Shares or other alterations to the Share Register will only be recognised if:

(a) in the case of dealings of the type to be effected using CHESS, the transferee is registered in the Share Register as the holder of the relevant Origin Shares before the Scheme Record Date; and

(b) in all other cases, registrable transfer or transmission applications in respect of those dealings, or valid requests in respect of other alterations, are received before the Scheme Record Date at the place where the Share Register is kept,

and Origin must not accept for registration, nor recognise for any purpose (except a transfer to the Bidder pursuant to this Scheme and any subsequent transfer by the Bidder or its successors in title), any transfer or transmission application or other request received after such times, or received prior to such times but not in registrable or actionable form, as appropriate.

6.2 Register

(a) Origin must register registrable transmission applications or transfers of the Scheme Shares that are received in accordance with clause 6.1(b) before the Scheme Record Date provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this clause 6.2(a) requires Origin to register a transfer that would result in an Origin Shareholder holding a parcel of Origin Shares that is less than a ‘marketable parcel’ (for the purposes of this clause 6.2(a) ‘marketable parcel’ has the meaning given in the Operating Rules).

(b) If this Scheme becomes Effective, a holder of Scheme Shares (and any person claiming through that holder) must not dispose of or otherwise deal with, or purport or agree to dispose of or otherwise deal with, any Scheme Shares or any interest in them on or after the Scheme Record Date otherwise than pursuant to this Scheme, and any attempt to do so will have no effect and Origin shall be entitled to disregard any such disposal or other dealing.

(c) For the purpose of determining entitlements to the Scheme Consideration, Origin must maintain, or procure the maintenance of, the Share Register in accordance with the provisions of this clause 6.2 until the Scheme Consideration has been paid to the Scheme Shareholders. The Share Register in this form will solely determine entitlements to the Scheme Consideration.

(d) All statements of holding for Origin Shares (other than statements of holding in favour of the Bidder or any Excluded Shareholders) will cease to have effect after the Scheme Record Date as documents of title in respect of those shares and, as from that date, each entry current at that date on the Share Register (other than entries on the Share Register in respect of the Bidder or any Excluded Shareholder) will cease to have effect except as evidence of entitlement to the Scheme Consideration in respect of the Origin Shares relating to that entry.

  • (e) As soon as possible on or after the Scheme Record Date, and in any event by 5.00pm on the first Business Day after the Scheme Record Date, Origin will ensure that details of the names, Registered Addresses and holdings of Origin Shares for each Scheme Shareholder as shown in the Share Register are available to the Bidder in the form the Bidder reasonably requires.
