At Infigen, safety will always remain our highest priority. In FY19, Infigen had no lost time injuries (LTIs) and the Lake Bonney 1 Wind Farm and Alinta Wind Farm achieved 11 years LTI free. This result is a testament to the hard work and diligence of our team. However, we are not complacent. The Board and management continue to look for opportunities and processes to improve our systems and culture in vigilant pursuit of zero harm. Central to our philosophy is the application of a hierarchy of defences – with the first line of defence in our strategy to provide safe working conditions being to engineer or design-out safety hazards. For example, working at heights is one of our recognised workplace health and safety risks. As a result, in FY19 Infigen, in conjunction with Vestas, installed lifts at the Lake Bonney 1 Wind Farm to improve the safety of our workplace. Infigen is leading Australia’s transition to a clean energy future. Infigen’s strategy is to generate and source low cost renewable energy, to add value to it by firming, and to provide customers with reliable, clean and competitively priced electricity. Infigen believes this is the future of Australia’s energy ecosystem and that our business model will result in superior outcomes for customers, communities, the environment, and our security holders. In FY19 milestones in the delivery of this strategy. Infigen reached several significant We generate and source renewable energy In FY19 Infigen increased Renewable Energy Generation by 20% reaching 1,775 GWh. This was achieved by delivering several strategic projects including: • The construction and completion of the 113 MW Bodangora Wind Farm in New South Wales (NSW); • The execution of our first Capital Lite Power Purchase Agreement sourcing renewable energy from the 31 MW Kiata Wind Farm in Victoria (VIC) for a period of five years allowing Infigen to sell to customers without developing the asset on our own balance sheet; and (PPA), • The sale of the Cherry Tree Wind Farm development to John Laing for $6.5 million in cash and concurrent entry into a PPA to acquire 100% of the renewable energy and green products produced for 15 years. Infigen is managing the construction process and will farm once complete. manage the wind Practical completion of the wind farm is expected in 2020 and the PPA will deliver more renewable energy for sale to our customers. We add value to renewable energy by firming is Renewable generation intermittent, and production does not always correlate with consumers demand. As a consequence, prices for firm delivery of electricity are substantially higher than prices for run of plant renewable PPAs. Infigen’s strategy is to build or acquire a portfolio of physical firming assets which, together with our increasing renewable generation, allow us to sell more electricity under firm contracts into these higher priced markets. This is designed to improve the quality and quantity of our earnings. In FY19 Infigen delivered two important projects that can transform our ability to firm renewable generation: • construction of the SA Battery, a 25 MW/52 MWh facility co-located with our Lake Bonney Wind Farms. • the acquisition of the Smithfield OCGT in Western Sydney, a 123 MW flexible, fast-start generator that enables Infigen to firm its New South Wales generation. These physical firming assets are transformative to our business as they allow us to contract directly with customers to meet their energy needs. We provide customers with reliable, competitively priced clean energy Central to our purpose is the supply of clean, reliable energy to our customers. Accordingly, we have been pleased to continue to expand our volume of energy (and LGCs) under contract to a growing base of commercial and industrial customers in our key markets. In FY19, Infigen increased its contracting with C&I Customers to 768 MWh. Infigen also continued to invest in its customer service capability. A key achievement in this regard has been the implementation of an advanced customer billing integrated multi-site system functionality. Continuing to grow the volumes we sell to our C&I Customer base remains a priority for FY20. facilitating 12 Financial Results of our Strategy financial results. During The success of this strategy is reflected in Infigen’s FY19 the period, Renewable Energy Generation increased 20%, reflecting the addition of the Bodangora Wind Farm and the Kiata Wind Farm PPA. Consequently, Net Revenue increased 9% to $229 million. Business Operating Costs were slightly higher due to an increased investment in and commitment to customer service capability, supporting our growth in C&I Customers. In total, Infigen delivered underlying EBITDA of $165 million, 11% higher than FY18. This result positioned Infigen to reintroduce distributions at 1 cent per security per half-year, and to repay $41 million of gross debt in accordance with Infigen’s debt amortisation schedule. Economic and Policy Considerations in the National Electricity Market for FY19 was another year of ongoing policy confusion and uncertainty in Australia’s National Electricity Market (NEM). Despite ratifying the Paris Agreement, and reaching almost unanimous the National Energy industry support Guarantee, the Australian Government is yet to adopt policy settings that guide the market to deliver both our national emissions targets and reliable supplies of energy in the most efficient manner. In our view this is negatively impacting investor sentiment and market confidence across the sector. to incentivise investment In the absence of any future pricing signals designed low emissions generation, the long-term prices of Large-Scale Generation Certificates (LGCs) - an instrument originating from the 2003 Renewable Energy Target – have declined over the course of the reporting period. in Infigen, however, has a significant proportion of its LGCs under medium term supply contracts to obligated parties – hence reducing the impact of declining prices on its revenues in the near term. To offset the decline in revenues from the sale of LGCs in the longer term, Infigen’s strategy relies upon expanding the volume of renewable energy sold and capturing the added value available in the market for the supply of clean, reliable, “firm” energy. This strategy is compatible with the requirements of maintaining a stable grid as it transforms away from large scale, base load thermal coal plant. Renewable energy is now the lowest cost source of new generation, with a key challenge being how to best integrate this into the grid. Infigen’s business strategy is based on market fundamentals. Infigen believes that tomorrow’s energy leaders will firm low cost renewables and that electrification of transport, heating, and industrial processes will lead to renewables supplying a growing share of Australia’s total energy consumption. Apart from the importance of national policy settings that are durable and sustainable, it is equally critical that the market is operated in 13 accordance with clear and transparent rules. These rules need to take account of existing investments as well as incentivise new investment in capital equipment across the system to maintain stability and reliability of supply at the lowest cost to consumers in the short and long is term. The magnitude of this challenge considerable. Over the course of the last twelve months we have seen AEMO as market operator, the AEMC as rule maker, and the network service providers grapple with the challenges of designing and implementing rules to guide the smooth introduction of significant volumes of new renewable generation spatially dispersed across a grid which was designed to support large scale base load thermal generators – some of which have retired and the balance of which is destined to progressively exit the system. to market rules and requirements the Recent changes introduction of additional to evaluate the impact of installing new capacity into the network to maintain the integrity of the grid has dramatically slowed the pace of new entrant plant. While to date, the impact on Infigen has been limited, we are aware that for other projects the impact of these changes has been material - severely impacting the economics of projects. reach inexorably Infigen continues to advocate for an orderly transition to a clean energy future. As coal fired their planned generators retirement age and, prior to that, suffer from reduced reliability, replacement generation will be needed. Policy coherence will be a key factor in ensuring the replacement of generation delivers reliable, affordable and lower emissions electricity for all Australians. Any viable, long term national policy should, however, recognise the value that is associated with both lower emissions as well as higher reliability. So too must a coherent energy policy be guided in its implementation by clear, transparent market rules that can be readily implemented by market participants. National policy settings that reflect these principles should enable the energy sector to not only deliver reliable, affordable energy to the market, but also offer the most efficient overall solution to the national challenge of meeting our emissions targets under the Paris Agreement. Continuing to Prioritise Sustainability never should undervalue In FY19 the Hayne Royal Commission into the financial services sector was a reminder that businesses the importance of corporate culture. As Infigen’s business transitions, we have undertaken several initiatives to ensure that Infigen’s corporate culture is conducive to the long-term success of our business strategy. These initiatives have sought to engage all Infigen’s employees in the process of refining our purpose, defining our values and shaping our behaviours. Infigen recognises that the quality and strength of our corporate culture will be the key determinant of the sustained success of our business plan. As a leader in the clean energy transition, Infigen, in FY19, resolved to target carbon neutrality for the entire business by FY25. Infigen already sources all its electricity usage from renewable sources – so Infigen is already meeting the targets of members of RE100. Infigen is seeking to do more and offset 100% of its scope 1 and scope 2 emissions by FY25. Board Renewal In FY19 we welcomed Karen Smith-Pomeroy to the Boards, thereby completing the process of Board renewal that commenced in mid–2017. Karen brings a wealth of deep energy and financial experience to complement the existing skills of our Boards and brings to four the number of independent, non-executive directors of our Boards, ensuring a clear majority consistent with ASX corporate governance best practice. The Board now has not only access to deep knowledge and experience in the Australian energy market (from both producer and customer perspectives) but also finance and corporate governance and is well placed to guide the company through its transition. FY19 was a year of significant achievement for Infigen and the business is now well positioned to meet the challenges of Australia’s evolving energy market. We remain focussed on the fundamentals of our business within an evolving Australian energy market. We note that pressure continues to build for delivery of more coherent national and state policy settings. Achievement of these will provide more favourable conditions for investor sentiment for Infigen and across the sector. Infigen’s strategic achievements have been made possible by the support of our communities and the commitment and dedication of our employees. We thank security holders for their ongoing support and look forward to working with all our stakeholders as we continue to lead Australia’s transition to a clean energy future. Sincerely, Len Gill Chairman Ross Rolfe AO Chief Executive Officer/ Managing Director 14 Chairman’s Addendum in FY19 was marked by growth in our renewable portfolio, growth to customers, transformative growth in our firming capacity and delivery of increased earnings. The latter has allowed and continued reintroduction of a distribution. reduction sales debt On behalf of security holders, I would like to acknowledge the leadership of our CEO Ross Rolfe, the efforts of his leadership team and the dedication of all the Infigen team in delivering these achievements.

Infigen generates and sources renewable energy, adds value to renewables in so doing, provides through firming, and, customers with reliable and competitively priced clean energy. This strategy is enabled by Infigen’s recent investments in physical firming capacity, namely the Smithfield OCGT located in Western Sydney, and the SA Battery, located near Millicent, South Australia (SA). As Infigen has transitioned to an active energy market participant, the business has successfully grown its sales volumes to C&I Customers. This has been facilitated by the growth of Infigen’s energy market and customer service capabilities. Increasing Contracting to Improve Quality of Earnings Infigen’s increasing The success of this business transition is evident levels of electricity from contracting. Infigen is currently 75% contracted for its expected Renewable Energy Generation in FY20, with additional C&I Customer contracting opportunities being pursued in NSW, SA and VIC. its expanding Infigen anticipates that its strategy will allow up to 75% of renewable energy production to be sold under firm contracts. This additional contracting is expected to be with new to meet C&I Customers. customers’ needs is enabled by the acquisition of physical firming capacity within the Infigen portfolio, assets which allow Infigen to add value by managing the risk associated with the delivery of fixed volumes and prices from intermittent renewable energy sources. Infigen’s ability The addition of physical firming capacity to the portfolio also enables Infigen to grow the volume of “firmed” clean energy offered to the market. The acquisition of the Smithfield OCGT will, for example, allow Infigen to firm the supply of energy from not only the existing portfolio in NSW but also enable Infigen to source a further 300-400 MW of additional renewable energy capacity in NSW. Infigen expects to obtain access to this additional supply under its “Capital Lite” model. Under low cost intermittent renewable energy under run of plant PPAs with third party generators. Infigen then uses its flexible, fast start physical firming assets to manage intermittency, enabling Infigen to sell higher value reliable and competitively priced Infigen buys this model, clean energy to customers. Accordingly, Infigen expects that its strategy will not only allow the volume of energy it sells to increase, but also allow higher levels of contracting for that generation. Infigen sells electricity through three channels to market: (1) C&I Customers, where Infigen sells renewable energy in firm volumes at a fixed price to customers contracting for reliable clean energy; (2) PPAs, where Infigen sells renewable energy on a run of plant basis at a fixed price; and (3) Merchant revenues, where Infigen sells the energy into spot electricity markets. This Infigen’s energy can be produced from its physical renewable energy assets or firming assets. This channel includes ancillary revenues, costs related to energy market participation and is presented net of merchant electricity purchases. C&I sales are medium tenor contracts where specific customers contract their electricity load with Infigen at the agreed contract price. Infigen’s sales through this channel therefore have limited price and volume risk. However, Infigen must manage the cost of firming, a factor reflected in Infigen’s Merchant channel. C&I contracts may have inflation (CPI) escalators. Note: Realised C&I prices and percentage of volume will vary based on several factors including peak vs off peak usage, wind conditions, demand response and new C&I Customer contracting. C&I contracts may have inflation linked pricing. 16 INFIGEN ENERGY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT PPA sales occur under agreements where Infigen receives a fixed price for intermittent renewable energy production. Infigen’s sales through this channel risk (depending on wind conditions) but not price and generally no delivery risk. PPA sales contracts generally have CPI escalators. production therefore have Note: Realised PPA prices and percentage of volume will vary based on generation mix due to wind conditions. PPAs generally have inflation linked pricing where Infigen assumes 2% inflation pa. Merchant revenue includes spot electricity sales and purchases, with their respective Dispatch Weighted and Load Weighted Average prices, purchases of third-party renewable volumes via our Capital Lite projects, hedge costs and benefits, and net revenues relating to Infigen’s firming assets, the SA Battery and Smithfield OCGT. These diversified sources of revenue enable Infigen to sell to C&I Customers contracting for firm load. In FY20, Infigen’s Merchant revenue will be influenced by the inclusion of Smithfield OCGT and the SA Battery (once fully commissioned), partly offset by higher firming costs due to increase C&I contracting. renewable energy intermittent Infigen’s increased volume and contracted sales will be dependent upon sourcing additional renewable generation. This is expected to be achieved through Infigen’s Capital Lite strategy. To this end, Infigen is actively engaged with a number of developers to enter into PPAs to supply additional energy to Infigen. The time of delivery of such electricity will be dependent upon entry into the PPAs and the timeline for development and construction of any associated greenfields renewable project. The price at which Infigen can contract new C&I Customers will be dependent upon a number of factors including the wholesale market price at the time of the new contract, contract tenor, contract load and shape, the region in which the customer operates and other bespoke contract terms which affect risk and therefore price. 17 in 2003. The value of LGCs In addition to its electricity sales, Infigen generates revenue from the sale of LGCs. LGCs originated with Australia’s Renewable Energy Target (“RET”) established is determined by market-based trading, which takes into account their supply, demand and a legislated surrender obligation each calendar year to 2030. As more utility scale renewable generation enters the market, supply of LGCs increase, and LGC prices are likely to decline accordingly. The impact of declining LGC prices on Infigen’s future revenue is moderated by our contracted position over the short to medium term. In the longer run, Infigen’s strategy is designed to offset declining LGC revenues by increased sales of firm, higher value, energy to our growing customer base. Infigen’s Strategy Results is Delivering Financial The success of Infigen’s strategy is evident in the FY19 results. Underlying EBITDA was $165 million, an increase of 11% over FY18. Of Infigen’s $229 million of Net Revenue, 79% came from contracted revenue sources of sales to C&I Customers, PPAs and LGCs. This outcome supported Infigen’s reintroduction of distributions at 1 cent per security per half-year, which is expected to be sustainable throughout the cycle. Financial Position long-term growth Infigen’s financial position is able to support the business’ strategy. The Corporate Facility has the flexibility and terms appropriate for Infigen during its transition to an active energy market participant. During FY19, Infigen repaid $34 million of the principal of the Corporate Facility consistent with the scheduled amortisation. As at 30 June 2019 $484 million was outstanding under the Corporate Facility with $119 million of amortisation scheduled prior to maturity in April 2023. In addition, Infigen repaid $7 million of Bodangora Facility borrowings, a facility that is scheduled to be amortised in full by its maturity in 2034. Capital Lite Development and Acquisition Infigen’s development pipeline consists of several high-quality projects with opportunities to create security holder value. These projects include: (1) Flyers Creek Wind Farm: a c140 MW project located 20km south of Orange, NSW, with the potential approximately generate 450 GWh per year. to (2) Woakwine Wind Farm: a c300 MW project located near Lake Bonney, SA, with the potential to connect into the Victorian grid. (3) Capital 2 Wind Farm: a c100 MW expansion adjacent to the Capital Wind Farm at Lake George, NSW. Subject to confirming the feasibility of these projects, Infigen intends to evaluate projects on an owned or Capital Lite basis. This approach allows Infigen to crystallise the value of its development pipeline, ensure access to renewable energy at market competitive rates, preserve its own capital, renewable energy and and partner with infrastructure investors seeking an experienced project developer and energy market participant. Infigen believes the future of the NEM is low cost renewable energy, supported by physical firming assets such as batteries, gas peakers and hydroelectric facilities. As the NEM evolves, Infigen expects the value of its development pipeline to be realised. The pace of this development and the sequencing of particular projects will depend upon the relative merits of each project in terms of the competitiveness of its price and ability the greatest contribution to company value. to provide through Accordingly, Infigen is also seeking to increase its Renewable Energy Generation the acquisition of renewable energy through PPAs from third party project owners and developers, as was the case for the Kiata Wind Farm. This approach allows Infigen to maximise the value of the physical firming capacity it has acquired and achieve in electricity volumes and contracting. In assessing each “Capital Lite” opportunity we assess the extent to which it is competitive with our own development projects and complementary to the production profile of our existing generation portfolio and the needs of our customers. its targeted increases Operational Highlights Infigen’s fleet of owned operating assets continued its strong performance with the overall fleet performance exceeding budgeted availability and production targets. Total turbine availability was 97.3%. During FY19, Infigen’s fleet expanded, with the commencement of commercial operations occurring at Bodangora Wind Farm in February 2019. General Electric turbine manufacturer’s operations team is now fully mobilised and providing maintenance services for this wind farm. Under the terms of this full-service agreement, GE provides an availability guarantee until the 20th year of operations. operation (GE), and the FY19 was also the first full year of the Vestas service and maintenance agreements which are relevant to all of Infigen’s wind farms except Bodangora. These agreements contain pain- share/gain-share mechanisms and availability targets which are unchanged throughout the life of the agreements which operate until the 20th year of commercial operations of each wind farm. The long-term incentives incorporated in both the Vestas and GE agreements create alignment for operational performance. Infigen undertook a number of capital upgrades to its wind farms outside the O&M agreements with a focus on both energy efficiency and safety. For example, Infigen completed a key capital safety upgrade, installing lifts at Lake Bonney 1 Wind Farm. In FY19 and FY20 Infigen has partnered with Vestas on turbine self-forecasting models with the objective of improving dispatch efficiency in the five minute settlement market National Energy Policy and Energy Market Rules Infigen continues to engage with the Federal and State Governments and relevant regulators that influence the operation of the markets in which remain actively participates. We Infigen committed to working constructively with all stakeholders to deliver an efficient transition to a future energy market that offers affordable, reliable, clean supplies of energy to Australian consumers. Central to the ability of the energy market to achieve this transition at the lowest cost to the consumer is the emergence of a coherent and consistent national energy policy that is informed by economics and engineering. It is important to note that a viable, long term national policy needs to contemplate the system as a whole. Generation, transmission and distribution networks and retail function as an ecosystem. Hence it is important that the market can make commercial assessments of the most viable long-term investment response to market opportunities – without fear that the economics of projects will be undermined by new policy initiatives of government that defy the gravity of market principles. Uniform, nationally consistent policy that is designed to enable a healthy market- based response to customer needs will ensure long term competitiveness of the supply of energy – given the quality and abundance of our resources. industry participants Infigen will continue to work with government policy makers, and regulators to deliver a stable, market based, policy environment which is underpinned by transparent rules. If this can be achieved Australia is well placed to deliver a world class energy industry that realises the potential value of its abundant and infinite supply of renewable energy as well as prudently utilise our significant, but finite, supply of thermal fuels to support a globally competitive domestic economy. 18 INFIGEN ENERGY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Outlook In FY20, Infigen will continue to deliver its business strategy and, in particular, will be focused on: (1) Increasing the volumes of renewable energy sourced under the Capital Lite model. The Smithfield OCGT acquisition enables 300- 400 MW of additional renewable energy capacity in NSW to be sourced from third parties. (2) Increasing the levels of C&I Customer contracting. Infigen’s strategy will allow up to 75% of Infigen’s expanding renewable energy production to be sold under firm contracts. This level is expected to be progressively achieved. Infigen has invested in enhanced billing and customer service capabilities to facilitate this growth. (3) Managing construction of the Cherry Tree Wind Farm where practical completion is anticipated in calendar year 2020, which will deliver new renewable energy for sale to our customers in FY21. (4) Complete commissioning of the SA Battery. (5) Progressing Flyers Creek Wind Farm, NSW, towards financial close. As Infigen transitions to an active energy market participant directly serving C&I Customers, it is necessary to invest in its people and systems. As a result, in FY20, Business Operating Costs are expected to increase modestly compared to FY19. This reflects the net result of higher operating costs associated with the growing energy markets business, lower Development Costs, and slightly higher head office costs. As previously advised, Asset Operating Costs will be higher reflecting a full year of production from Bodangora Wind Farm, the costs of the SA Battery and the operating costs of Smithfield OCGT (which are expected to be in line with levels disclosed to the market upon acquisition in May 2019). While inherent forecast uncertainty for noting the Infigen renewable production of energy, anticipates production sold from renewable energy assets to be higher than FY19, reflecting the full year contributions from Bodangora Wind Farm and the Kiata Wind Farm PPA. 19 2.

Infigen was partially protected from the market decline by its contracted LGC position. Infigen’s contracted LGC position will continue as an important (partial) mitigant against potential over-supply and/or declining prices. Contracted LGC revenue for the year ended 30 June 2019 was 95% (2018: 85%). The spot value of an LGC as at 30 June 2019 was $41.6 (30 June 2018: $77.8). Year ended 30 June LGC average price ($) 2019 60.9 2018 70.8 Change Change % (9.9) (15) The percentage of the expected LGCs created and sold on a contracted basis and weighted average price for future periods is: 100% and $54 (FY20); 40% and $46 (FY21): 30% and $41 (FY22): 20% and $51 (FY23) and 20% and $54 (FY24) respectively. This is based on existing contracted positions, historical production for existing wind farms, and LGCs purchased by Infigen from its Contracted Renewable Energy Assets. These numbers assume that LGCs are sold to Sydney Desalination Plant at the rate of 1 LGC for each MWh used to operate the facility in FY20. No assumptions are made in relation to the operation of the facility (and accordingly LGC sales to Sydney Desalination Plant beyond the minimum LGC sales) in following financial years.

A realised development project creates value for security holders, releasing value on balance sheet. The Capital Lite transaction in respect of the Cherry Tree Wind Farm exemplified this, when in December 2018 the development was sold for $6.5 million and Infigen entered into a PPA to acquire 100% of the renewable energy and green products (currently LGCs) produced for 15 years once constructed (using third party capital). Property, plant and equipment expenditure includes the acquisition price of the Smithfield OCGT in May 2019 for $74.0 million. Capitalised expenditure on assets under construction primarily consists of: • SA Battery due for completion in H1 FY20. During the year $30.4 million was paid (net of grants received). • Bodangora Wind Farm which commenced commercial operations in February 2019. During the year $44.9 million was spent (inclusive of capitalised interest), with the total life to date spend (inclusive of capitalised interest) of $234.5 million, which was in line with the original budget. 28 INFIGEN ENERGY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 6.

To ensure continued alignment with stakeholders through its business transition, an employee led working group was established to review Infigen’s corporate purpose and values. The outcome was a purpose statement that has been endorsed by Management and the Boards “We are leading Australia’s transition to a clean energy future”. We believe this statement reflects the underlying relationship between our corporate strategy and Australia’s ecosystem. Furthermore, Infigen is pleased to report the following and achievements. commitments sustainability evolving energy Targeting Carbon Neutrality by FY25 Infigen sourced 100% of its office and wind farm electricity from renewables. Infigen adopted a target of carbon neutrality for its entire business by FY25. In FY19, substantially As a renewable energy business, the introduction of complementary firming assets is not expected to Infigen’s carbon increase emissions. Following the acquisition of the Smithfield OCGT which allows Infigen to source 300-400 MW of new renewable energy capacity in NSW, Infigen’s business is expected to generate emissions of 0.02t CO2/MWh, a level that is 2-3% of its peer group average in the NEM. Infigen believes C&I Customers can have reliable and competitively priced clean energy. We are demonstrating that this is possible by targeting carbon neutrality ourselves: offsetting all Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions by FY25. Adoption of two United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to Infigen has adopted Goal 7 and Goal 13 of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDG). These goals align with our corporate purpose and existing sustainability commitments and provide evaluate a benchmark sustainability priorities within the context of international policy objectives. Goal 7 of the UNSDGs is “to ensure access to affordable, reliable sustainable and modern energy for all”. This goal is focused on increasing the quality of global energy systems via lowering costs, increasing reliability and providing sustainable energy production. Infigen’s strategy directly furthers this goal. Goal 13 of the UNSDGs is “to take urgent action to combat climate change and impacts”. Australia’s NEM continues to rank amongst the most carbon intensive in the developed world. Infigen’s strategy enables significant growth of renewable energy generation. its 31 The acquisition of the Smithfield OCGT allows Infigen to firm an additional 300-400 MW of low cost intermittent renewable energy capacity. This business model also has substantially lower CO2 emissions than other participants in the NEM. Promoting ‘Green the Team’ In FY19, a group of employees approached Management with a proposal to offset the carbon emissions related to staff private electricity consumption. The initiative, called “Green the Team”, proposed that Infigen purchase carbon offsets in the wholesale market for those staff that wanted to offset their home-based carbon emissions and staff pay Infigen directly for this. This mechanism is cheaper than other retail options for consumers. Infigen is proud of the initiative shown by our staff. In recognition of the values of our staff and their hard work, Infigen has agreed to meet 50% of the cost of any staff member that wants to participate in this personal emissions reduction program. Infigen estimates that the initiative will cost approximately $5,000 per annum, and we expect the majority of our staff to participate. Creating Performance a Culture that Values High Infigen’s people strategy targets a workplace culture that values high performance. We seek to build strong, enduring relationships with our employees based on trust and mutual respect. Whilst acknowledging individual accountability, we value diversity of opinion as we strive for both continuous improvement and the achievement of collective results. The pie chart shows the factors considered in the employee experience matrix. Prioritising Employee Engagement Infigen seeks to attract, develop and retain a motivated high performance team. For this to occur, there needs to be an alignment between the personal values and expectations of our employees with Infigen’s brand, purpose, values and culture. We conducted a detailed employee engagement survey in December 2018. A Pulse survey will be run in September 2019 to track our progress against key indicators, followed by a detailed survey in March 2020. + 16 eNPS 100% of respondents ‘strongly agree’ or ‘agree’ with the question “Members in our team respect each other's differences, cultures and background” 95% of respondents ‘strongly agree’ or ‘agree’ with the question “I feel diversity is respected in the workplace” (5% were neutral, and importantly, no one disagreed) Embracing diversity and inclusion Infigen’s Nomination & Remuneration Committee (NRC) approved four Diversity Objectives for the period 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2019. The Diversity Objectives and outcomes are as follows: Two-year Diversity Objectives to 30 June 2019 1. Maintain progress towards achieving an equal proportion of workplace participation of females and males by: > Increasing the total number of females employed (baseline as at 30 June 2017 was 26 females and 39 males, including Non-Executive Directors) > Increasing the proportion of females in Senior and Middle Management roles (baseline as at 30 June 2017 were nine females and 20 males, excluding Non-Executive Directors) > Maintaining an environment where flexible work arrangements are supported > Workforce participation of females decreased by 2%. > Voluntary employee turnover over the two years was 13% (37% females and 63% males). > Number of females in the workforce increased from 26 to 30, and number of males increased from 39 to 49. > 35% of new hires over the two year period were female. > The Board composition is three females and four males (Five Non-Executive and two Executive Directors) 2. Implement an emerging leader mentor program to attract, develop and retain emerging leaders. • Over the two-year period Infigen contributed in excess of $198,000 to enable scholarships through: > The Career Trackers indigenous scholarship program. > The UNSW Co-op program (three students). > The Macquarie Graduate School of Management Women in MBA scholarship (one employee). > The UNSW Women in Engineering program (two • students). Infigen currently provides professional development support to five employees participating in either post graduate studies or further tertiary education. • Priority will be given in FY20 to develop a mentor program for emerging leaders. 3. Implement a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and intersex (LGBTI) Diversity and Inclusion Plan. This objective was postponed as it was determined that inclusion should not be defined in isolation, but rather in the broad context of diversity within the workplace. To that end we will invite the employee working group that is currently working on defining the organisation Purpose and Values to help define inclusion within this context. 4. Achieve gender pay equity within each occupational group. > Infigen has been measuring pay equity between females and males since 2014. As at 30 June 2019 there was pay equity across 69% of the organisation. > Pay gaps range from 20-25% in two occupational categories (favouring females in the first instance and males in the other). The pay gaps were due to the diversity of roles and experience, not gender. When analysing the occupational groups based on experience the pay gap narrows. Over the past two years the workforce (including Non-Executive Directors) has increased by 22%. As Infigen’s business grows, we have introduced new roles to deliver the company’s strategic objectives. Infigen’s efforts to achieve gender balance have been successful with an equal proportion of males and females across the Middle Management and Professional occupational categories as at 30 June 2019. Recruitment decisions continue to be based on merit and external recruiters are required to present a shortlist that is ethnically and gender diverse. Infigen employs 22 engineers, of whom there are 12 males and 10 females. This level of gender diversity was achieved through our engagement with the UNSW to build brand recognition, talent pipelines in support of graduate recruitment, and initiatives to support professional development and career progression. 32 INFIGEN ENERGY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Females categories: in the workforce by occupational • $1,250 for RWTW volunteers who assisted on the day. • $3,750 for the Southern Tablelands Athletics Club. This was to provide the youth of Tarago and the local area with the opportunity to participate in Little Athletics and to promote a healthy lifestyle. In February 2019, Infigen commenced commercial operations at Bodangora Wind Farm. At the peak of the construction phase the site employed over 140 people. On an ongoing operations basis the project has directly created seven local jobs. The construction activities of the Bodangora Wind Farm disturbed a small amount of native vegetation. In order to offset this impact and as part of the project approval conditions, Infigen made a contribution of $254,000 to the NSW Biodiversity Conservation Trust. In February 2019 Infigen awarded the third round of the Bodangora Wind Farm Community Benefit Fund of $25,000 taking the total funding distributed to local community groups during the construction phase of the project to $150,000. Direct investment into the community will be approximately $3 million over the life of the wind farm. Sustainability Risk Management Infigen analyses remuneration to verify that any pay equity gaps that may exist are not the result of gender. Infigen does not believe that any gender based pay equity gaps currently exist and will continue to monitor this on an ongoing basis. In FY20, Infigen will retain its gender diversity objectives and in addition will initiate an internal discussion of broader forms of employee inclusion. The objective will be to ensure that the organisation values are representative of the diversity of the community we operate in. Completed Board Renewal Infigen completed its Board renewal with the appointment of Karen Smith-Pomeroy as an independent director in December 2018.

On a standalone basis, the Trust comprises IET and its controlled entities. IET is a Registered Scheme (the Scheme) and Infigen Energy RE Limited (IERL) is the Responsible Entity of IET. The relationship of the Responsible Entity and the Scheme is governed by the Constitution of IET. IET has raised the majority of the contributed equity for Infigen. IET has also been the stapled entity through which distributions have historically been paid to security holders. During the year, IET held interests in financial investments. The previous stapled structure included the now de-stapled Infigen Energy (Bermuda) Limited (IEBL). IEBL was never used as an operating part of Infigen. Accordingly, it was unstapled on 22 November 2018 after security holder approval at the 16 November 2018 AGM. IEBL is now a subsidiary of IEL, and is expected to be wound up in due course.

At this time last year, I explained that the Remuneration policies have been structured to remunerate our people appropriately for their the Board towards executing contribution approved business strategy – re is, that positioning Infigen to meet the challenges and grasp the transformation occurring in the Australian energy market. Accordingly, the business model is shifting from an infrastructure fund to an energy company. the opportunities presented by Our strategy is to reduce reliance of our revenue on the spot market and improve the quality of our earnings. We seek to achieve this by diversifying our channels to market through a balanced and risk managed contracting strategy. Infigen is, therefore, progressively evolving into an active in the energy market with the participant capability to manage the risks in contracting to deliver firm supplies of electricity in a changing market that is increasingly dominated by intermittent renewable generation. involved Within this strategic context the Board announced adjustments to the remuneration framework that were implemented throughout the 2018 and 2019 financial periods. These adjustments emphasised the importance of achieving transformational shorter to medium term goals, that are the foundations of an enduring and sustainable business model, that will generate long term benefits by positioning the company to protect existing and create new value for our security holders. The Board would like to thank security holders for the favourable support received at the 2018 AGM for these adjustments. No additional changes were made to KMP remuneration throughout FY19. This has been a defining year in terms of execution of the business strategy – one in which we continued to build out from Infigen’s legacy asset base by both increasing our supply of green energy for sale as well as investing in firming plant to enable us to reliably supply our growing customer base. Key milestones included: > > > Invested in firming capacity through the acquisition of the Smithfield OCGT as well as development and construction of the SA Battery; Increased the reliability and quality of earnings so that 73% of electricity revenue was from contracted sales; Reached practical completion of Bodangora Wind Farm; the > > > Increased the volume of green energy within the Infigen portfolio via the Capital Lite strategy (Kiata Wind Farm and, from 2020, the Cherry Tree Wind Farm); Enhanced our customer service and billing capability; and Implemented the third limb of our capital the management strategy – namely, reintroduction of distributions to security holders. These strategic achievements are reflected in the STI outcomes of the key management personnel of between 90% and 130% of the maximum opportunity. In accordance with Infigen’s Securities Trading Policy, employees and Directors were not permitted to trade Infigen securities throughout the year. These trading restrictions prevented vesting of the FY17 Deferred STI and FY16 LTI grants and prevented Directors from acquiring Infigen securities towards meeting the any minimum-security guidelines. All holding employee trading windows for Infigen securities are at the discretion of the Infigen Boards. Infigen Board firmly believes that the The successful execution of our strategy will depend, in large measure, on the commitment of a highly skilled workforce served by an experienced leadership team that have a depth of industry knowledge and the capability to identify and execute strategic opportunities within, what is, an increasingly complex market. Infigen’s ability to attract and retain talented people within an emerging renewables market is paramount. The Board was encouraged by the results of a staff engagement survey that was conducted in FY19. The survey confirmed that there are very high levels of staff commitment to the company and its purpose. The Board has full confidence in the leadership team and endorses the initiatives the CEO has implemented to ensure alignment of the organisational culture and values with the delivery of Infigen’s strategic objectives. Looking ahead, the Board intends to replicate the FY19 LTI Operational Performance condition within the FY20 LTI grant. The performance scorecard has been updated to reflect targets as at 30 June 2022. Consistent with past practice, commercial-in-confidence targets and metrics will not be disclosed in advance, the Board will disclose the assessment criteria taken into consideration when determining the vesting outcome. Throughout the year the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (NRC) intend to consider the FY21 LTI Operational Performance Condition within the context of the business transition and maturity of the business strategy. 40 INFIGEN ENERGY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT The appointment of Karen Smith-Pomeroy to the Board ends the Board and Management renewal process that began in 2017. We are pleased to now have in place a full Board that offers a broad range of skills and experience. The composition of the Board is designed to ensure that the Company has access to a deep body of knowledge and history with the Australian energy market from both a generation, fuel and customer perspective – as well as, of course, broader skills in finance and governance. In FY20, following the stabilisation of the new Board, the Board will undertake an (independently conducted) review of leadership, governance and performance to ensure that Infigen is served by a Board and Management team that is functioning as effectively as possible in the interests of creating value for our security holders.

STI, which is a variable payment linked to achieving specified performance measures over a 12-month period; and 3. LTI, which is a variable payment linked to meeting specified performance hurdles over a 3-year period. Remuneration is benchmarked against industry peers within utilities, electricity generation and infrastructure, having regard to the advice of external advisers. 1.1. Fixed Pay Fixed pay comprises a cash salary and offer superannuation. remuneration than superannuation salary sacrifice. Infigen packaging other does not 1.2. Short Term Incentives STI is an at-risk performance-related component of remuneration. STIs are subject to performance against key performance indicators (KPIs) aligned with strategy and annual budgets. KPIs are set annually and reviewed during the year and where appropriate changed to maintain alignment with the business strategy. The NRC determines the KPIs for the KMP and reviews the KPI achievement. The NRC determines the CEO’s STI payment, reviews and approves payments made to KMP and the aggregate amount of STI payments. The FY19 KPIs were structured to ensure all employees continue to respond to a changing energy market to preserve and create security holder value. The 5 Year Business Plan was approved by the Board in August 2017 and underpins the implementation of the business strategy, which forms the basis of the FY19 KPIs. The 5 Year Business Plan has three primary work streams: 1. 2. diversifying our customer base to improve stability while revenue certainty and maximising earnings from existing assets expanding the sourcing of energy supply within the Infigen portfolio in response to Infigen’s market signals and enhancing capacity to deliver firm products to its customers; and 3. creating a capital structure to support Infigen’s business strategy. Table 1 illustrates the progress made towards delivering Infigen’s strategic objectives since mid FY17 (i.e. following the restructure of the Executive Leadership Team and the change in business strategy). The FY19 KPIs included a gateway hurdle and moderating factors as preconditions used to determine events which automatically trigger Board consideration to rerate the STI pool for the whole organisation, a team or individual. In FY19 the gateway hurdle was classified as a fatality, which would automatically trigger Board consideration to rerate the STI pool. Moderating factors address matters not foreseen or adequately addressed in setting the FY19 KPIs. Moderating factors may be used to determine team or individual STI outcomes irrespective of the overall achievement against the FY19 KPIs. Examples of moderating factors were: any serious safety incidents, serious regulatory or contract breaches, actions that result in reputational damage to Infigen or conversely progress made to deliver projects that would defend, preserve or increase security holder value that were not within the scope of the KPIs. The Board determined that neither the ‘gateway ‘moderating factors’ hurdle’ or any negative occurred during the year. Consequently, no downward adjustment to the STI opportunity was applied. In determining Individual STI payments awarded to KMP in FY19 were between 90% and 130% of the maximum STI opportunity. individual STI payments, the NRC had regard to the specific KPIs established at the beginning of the year, achievement against those targets, and the achievements of management in responding to emerging threats and opportunities in the delivery of the revised business strategy. The Board has discretion under the Infigen Short Term Incentive Plan to apply a performance factor adjustment (positive or negative) of up to 30% of the STI Payment achievement subject to the employee’s performance, which into consideration amongst other things the manner and substance in which the KPIs were achieved and the employee’s performance throughout the year. takes 44 INFIGEN ENERGY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Deleveraging Table 1: Progress towards delivering Infigen’s strategic objectives since January 2017 Financial Year 2018 Strategic Objectives $149.1 million Underlying EBITDA $517.5 million Corporate Debt 556.7 MW + 113.2 MW under construction Nil $161.6 million > Refinanced its corporate debt to create a capital structure that allows the business to operate as a single portfolio of assets which thereby supports the following priorities: o Achieve appropriate value from the Financial Year 2017 $139.3 million $655.5 million Corporate Debt 556.7 MW Nil $133.9 million > Raised new equity capital ($151 million) to Renewable Energy Generation Firming Capacity Contracted Revenue Create a capital structure to support Infigen’s business strategy Global Facility at the optimal time; and > Reduced total borrowings by $88.6 million. > Positioned itself to refinance its existing $1.8 million Bodangora Facility $158.6 million Bodangora Facility support its growth strategy; existing portfolio; o Support growth in response to demand-based price signals; and o Enable the Boards’ to consider the sustainable reintroduction distributions to security holders. of Implement the Multi-Channel Route to Market Strategy > Restructured company to introduce energy markets team to implement trading and retailing capability in terms of human and systems capacity > Achieved our preferred diversification for sale of production across key sales channels; and > Diversified sales channels to enhance the predictability and stability of revenues in a risk managed manner, which is a crucial element of the business strategy.

Short Term Incentive Deferral In FY19 20% of the KMP’s STI payment was deferred for 12 months. Deferred STI is paid in cash at the end of the deferral period provided the employee has not their employment terminated for cause prior to the payment date. resigned or had The deferred payment is subject to a Clawback provision. Infigen issued 398,362 securities following the release of the FY18 financial results to satisfy vesting obligations of the FY17 deferred STI. As at 30 June 2019 these performance rights have not vested as no employee trading window has forfeiture opening during conditions remain during this period, effectively creating a two-year deferral. the period. The 1.3. Clawback awards. Infigen currently has a modified form of Clawback right in respect of LTI performance rights and deferred STI Infigen’s Clawback provisions are broader than a traditional malus provision. These Clawback provisions apply to current employees and former employees that are not deemed a ‘Bad Leaver’ upon termination of employment. The Clawback provision allows forfeiture of some or all deferred STI and/or unvested LTI performance rights if a previously vested LTI grant or STI payment was associated with a materially adverse financial misstatement, or if a Final Investment Decision has materially overstated the projected financial performance of the relevant asset or investment. 1.4. Long Term Incentives LTIs are awarded as future rights to acquire Infigen securities. Each vested performance right will entitle the participant to receive one security, or a cash amount equivalent to the market price of a security, on the vesting date. Settlement in cash or securities is determined by the Board in its absolute discretion. The number of rights granted is based on the LTI amount divided by the reference price for Infigen securities, being the volume-weighted average ASX market price in the last five trading days of the prior financial year. For rights granted in FY19 the reference price was $0.6697. LTI grants comprise two equal tranches, each subject to a different performance condition. Vesting of each tranche is contingent on achieving the relevant performance hurdle. c. Performance Conditions FY17 FY18 & FY19 Tranche 1 Relative TSR Relative TSR Tranche 2 EBITDA / Capital Progress in implementing the revised business strategy 1.4.1. FY17 LTI Grant The Tranche 1 performance condition is relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR). The Tranche 2 operational performance condition is a test of the cumulative growth in the ratio of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) to capital base. The 3-year performance period of the FY17 Grant is from 1 July 2016 to 30 June 2019. The Tranche 1 performance condition was not achieved and has now entered a final twelve-month retest period ending 30 June 2020. 100% of the Tranche 2 performance rights will vest. 1.4.2. FY18 LTI Grant The Tranche 1 performance condition is TSR. The Tranche 2 operational performance condition was changed to a revenue diversity and growth matrix that rewards achievements in delivering specific targets set out in the 5 Year Business Plan. The 3-year performance period of the FY18 Grant is from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020, after which all unvested rights will lapse. 1.4.3. FY19 LTI Grant The Tranche 1 performance condition is TSR. As outlined in the 2018 Notice of AGM and Supplementary announcement of 19 October 2018, the Tranche 2 operational performance condition was changed to a strategic objectives scorecard to measure progress in implementing the increase sustainable value through de-risking revenue and achieving prudent growth. revised business strategy to The 3-year performance period of the FY19 Grant is from 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2021, after which all unvested rights will lapse. The Board has discretion to adjust the vesting outcomes under each performance condition (both upwards and downwards) including in the following circumstances: a. a fatality occurring any time prior to the vesting date; b. where Infigen experiences a significant negative security holder experience, including where the absolute TSR is negative and the Board considers the vesting outcome is inappropriate; if the Board determines that the operational performance condition outcome does not satisfactorily reflect the sustainable economic value created for Infigen and its security holders during the performance measurement period; d. a significant corporate transaction eventuates that the Board considers has affected, or will materially affect, the achievability of a performance condition or the continued applicability of the performance condition; if there have been material misstatements or such misrepresentations adjustments. that warrant e. 46 INFIGEN ENERGY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1.4.4. TSR Performance Condition TSR measures the change in value of a security plus cash distributions notionally reinvested in that security. For any portion of the FY18 and FY19 Tranche 1 performance rights to vest, the TSR of Infigen securities must outperform that of the median company in the S&P/ASX 200 index (excluding financial services, real estate and the materials and resources sector). Following the rerating of Infigen’s security price in FY16, the Board amended the vesting scale of the TSR performance condition for the FY17 Tranche 1 performance rights so that vesting would occur progressively from 25% to 75% of the relevant peer group performance. This vesting scale only applies to the FY17 grant. Table 2: Tranche 1 TSR Performance Rights Vest Progressively as Follows Percentile ranking Below the 25th percentile Equal to the 25th percentile Between the 25th and 50th percentile Equal to the 50th percentile Between the 50th and 75th percentile Between the 76th and 95th percentile Above the 95th percentile FY17 g n i t s e v s d r a w A FY18 & FY19 f o e g a t n e c r e P 0% vesting 25% vesting An additional 1% of awards vest for each percentile increase 50% vesting 0% vesting 0% vesting 0% vesting 50% vesting An additional 2% of the award vests for each percentile increase An additional 2% of the award vests for each percentile increase 100% vesting 100% vesting 1.4.5. Operational Performance Condition FY17 LTI Grant The annual target used in respect of all LTI grants up to and including FY17 was a specified ratio of EBITDA to Capital Base over the year. The capital base is measured as equity (net assets) plus net debt. Both the EBITDA and capital base are measured on a proportionately consolidated basis to reflect Infigen’s economic interest in all investments. The annual target for each financial year is established by the Board no later than the time of the release of Infigen’s annual financial results for the preceding financial year. The targets are set with reference to Infigen’s annual budgets. They are confidential to Infigen. However, each year's target and the performance against that target are disclosed retrospectively. The FY17 LTI is the only outstanding LTI grant using the EBITDA / Capital Base measure. The initial three-year performance measurement period of the FY17 LTI grant was 30 June 2019. As previously disclosed the EBITDA / Capital Base measure has proven to be unduly sensitive to wind conditions and to external market trends in energy and Large-scale Generation Certificate prices. The Board decided in FY18 to replace the operational performance condition to measure progress in implementing the revised business strategy to increase sustainable value through de-risking revenue and achieving prudent growth. Relevant metrics for the last four financial years and current period are provided in the table below. Table 3: Five Year Financial Performance Closing security price Underlying EBITDA Capital Base EBITDA to Capital Base Target Unit 30 June 2015 30 June 2016 30 June 2017 30 June 2018 30 June 2019 $ $ ‘000 $ ‘000 % % 0.32 1.00 0.73 0.66 0.475 186,583 120,196 143,412 1 149,102 165,257 1,639,635 1,021,051 1,019,834 1,153,062 1,187,113 11.38 10.83 11.77 10.00 14.06 12.49 12.9 11.46 13.92 13.16 Table 4: Tranche 2 EBITDA Performance Rights in FY17 Vest Progressively as Follows Infigen’s EBITDA performance FY17 Grant Percentage of Tranche 2 Performance Rights that vest 0% - 90% Nil 90% ≤ 110% of the cumulative target For every 1% increase between 90% and 110% of EBITDA target, 5% of the Tranche 2 performance rights will vest 1 Underlying EBITDA adjusted for inclusion of profit on sale of the Manildra solar farm development project 47 FY18 LTI Grant The primary assessment will be based on a matrix that rewards achievements in delivering specific targets set out in the 5 Year Business Plan. The targets are revenue diversity, as measured by the proportion of energy sales delivered through direct commercial and industrial customer channels, and growth, as measured by Energy Sold volume (GWh). The matrix is aligned with and directly reflects Infigen’s business strategy to deliver a range of products and solutions to different customers: balance risk, price and tenor; secure longer- term revenue stability; and growth. The Board has discretion to adjust the vesting outcomes (both upwards and downwards) including in the following circumstances: a) outperformance in value creation which is not reasonably captured by the operational performance condition; b) misstatements or misrepresentations that warrant a downward adjustment; c) in the event of a significant corporate transaction which the Board considers has affected the achievability of the performance conditions; d) where strict applicability of the matrix parameters would lead to an outcome that does not satisfactorily reflect the sustainable economic value created for Infigen or its security holders over the performance period including where this results in a vesting outcome that was not fair or reasonable (to either the LTI participants or Infigen) in all the circumstances; or e) where the vesting outcome is considered inappropriate because absolute TSR is negative. The NRC will regularly review performance against the business strategy, strategic objectives approved by the Board and when other events occur (whether in management control or not) that might have an effect on the delivery of the business strategy and security holder value creation. The NRC will maintain a scorecard that will be used to inform discussion and the exercise of discretion when determining the vesting outcome at the end of the performance measurement period. The Board will disclose the assessment criteria taken into consideration when determining the vesting outcome as at 30 June 2020. FY19 LTI Grant The operational performance condition will assess progress in implementing the business plan to preserve and create Infigen security holder value while managing risk. Performance will be assessed against a scorecard setting out the strategic objectives, quantifiable measures and Board assessment criteria that will be used for determining the amount of Tranche 2 performance rights that will vest. Each strategic objective will be assessed separately and then aggregated to determine the final vesting percentage. This is to be overlaid with the Board’s qualitative assessment of how the company has performed in implementing the company’s strategy. The Board may exercise discretion when assessing individual and team performance in delivering the strategic objectives. The Table below illustrates the five strategic objectives and performance assessment criteria included within the scorecard. Specific targets and other metrics that are commercial-in-confidence have not been disclosed, however the Board will disclose the assessment criteria taken into consideration when determining the vesting outcome as at 30 June 2021. Table 5: Criteria included within the FY19 Operational Performance Scorecard Strategic objective Performance assessment criteria Preservation and creation of Security Holder value while managing market risk Successful implementation of the Multi-Channel Route to Market Strategy which seeks to balance tenor, price and risk for revenue received from electricity and Large-scale Generation Certificates. This includes specific targets for contracted revenue streams. Capital management Prudent investment The further development and implementation of a capital management strategy which supports the execution of the broader business strategy, including target financial ratios to be achieved within a defined period. Growth in capacity and firming capability is to be undertaken in a disciplined manner that creates value by meeting a defined equity hurdle rate and/or by materially reducing risk. Develop and maintain a high- performance culture Implementation of a People and Culture strategy that recognises and values high performance, as well as being results oriented and emphasizing accountability. Targets include achievement of specific human resource related metrics. Transformational business opportunities Operating in a dynamic energy market involves identifying, exploring and implementing initiatives to preserve and create security holder value. 48 INFIGEN ENERGY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT 1.4.6. FY17 LTI Performance The initial 3-year performance period for the FY17 LTI grant ended on 30 June 2019. The Tranche 1 performance condition was not achieved and has now entered a final twelve month retest period ending 30 June 2020. The Tranche 2 operational performance condition of the FY17 LTI grant passed the performance test as at 30 June 2019. This will result in 100% of the Tranche 2 performance rights vesting. 1.5. Infigen Energy Equity Plan Rules Performance rights and options are governed by the rules of the Infigen Energy Equity Plan approved by security holders in 2009 and 2011. The Infigen Energy Equity Plan includes provisions under which the Board may exercise discretion to accelerate the vesting of any performance rights or options in the event of a change in control of Infigen. In exercising its discretion, the Board would intend to have regard to the performance, duration of the performance period and the nature of the relevant transaction. 1.6. Separation Benefits The Board intends to continue to limit any future separation benefits to a maximum of 12 months’ fixed remuneration.

Guideline for Minimum Security Holdings for Non-Executive Directors Non-Executive Directors who receive payment of Director Fees from Infigen are encouraged to acquire Infigen securities equivalent to the after-tax value of one year’s Director base fee. The acquisition of the relevant amount of Infigen securities should be completed within 3 years of being appointed and subsequently elected as a Non-Executive Director. The acquisition of Infigen securities under this guideline is subject to Infigen’s Securities Trading Policy and sufficient trading windows being open during the relevant period. Because of the confidential, material and price sensitive nature of information relating to certain projects undertaken this year, some of which have now been disclosed to the market, Infigen employees and Directors were not permitted to trade Infigen securities throughout the year. These trading restrictions prevented Directors from acquiring any Infigen securities towards meeting the minimum-security holding guidelines.

The Trust comprises IET and its controlled entities. IEL is determined to be the parent entity of Infigen. One share in IEL and one unit in IET have been stapled together to form a single Infigen stapled security listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under the code “IFN”. They cannot be traded separately and can only be traded as stapled securities. IEL is incorporated and domiciled in Australia. IET was established in and is domiciled in Australia. Inter-entity balances and transactions (except unrealised losses that provide evidence that the asset(s) being transferred are impaired) are eliminated. The acquisition method of accounting is used to account for business combinations by Infigen and the Trust. Non-controlling interests in the results and equity of controlled entities are shown separately, where applicable, in the Consolidated Financial Statements. De-stapling of Infigen Energy (Bermuda) Limited On 22 November 2018, Infigen Energy (Bermuda) Limited (IEBL) was removed from the Official List of ASX following security holder approval of Infigen’s simplified corporate structure at the 16 November 2018 AGM. Trust information IET is a Registered Scheme (the Scheme) and Infigen Energy RE Limited (IERL) is the Responsible Entity of IET. The relationship of the Responsible Entity with the Scheme is governed by the Constitution of IET. Statement of compliance As permitted by Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) Corporations Instrument 2015/843, this report consists of the Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes of both Infigen and the Trust for the year ended 30 June 2019 (the reporting period). As permitted by ASIC Class Order 13/1050, the Consolidated Financial Statements treat IEL as the ‘parent’ of the stapled entities. A1 Basis of Preparation Infigen and the Trust are for-profit entities for the purpose of preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements. These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, Australian Accounting Standards, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the basis of the legislative and regulatory regime that existed as at 30 June 2019 and at the date of this report. Changes to the regulatory regime could affect the carrying values of assets. These Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared on the going concern basis using the historical cost conventions modified by the revaluation of financial assets and liabilities (including derivative financial instruments) measured at fair value, where applicable. Where necessary, comparative information has been reclassified to achieve consistency in disclosure with current financial year amounts. All figures are presented in Australian Dollars with all values rounded to the nearest thousand dollars, unless otherwise stated, in accordance with the ASIC Corporations (Rounding in Financial/Directors’ Reports) Instrument 2016/191. 62 INFIGEN ENERGY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT A2 New and Amended Accounting Standards Adopted standards Except for those summarised in the following table, new and amended accounting standards adopted during the reporting period did not result in changes to the accounting policies, or retrospective adjustments to the financial results, of Infigen or the Trust. AASB 15 Revenue from Contracts with Customers (effective for the financial year commencing 1 July 2018) Nature of change Effect on financial statements > The application of AASB 15 did not have a material change on recognition, and the presentation, measurement of revenue for Infigen or the Trust > AASB 15 replaced AASB 118 Revenue and AASB > > 111 Construction Contracts It is based on the principle that revenue is recognised when control of a good or service transfers to a customer. The previous revenue recognition principle focused on the transfer of significant risks and rewards of ownership In addition, AASB 15 requires new and expanded disclosures related to the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customers and key judgements made Standards not yet adopted Except for those summarised in the following table, new and amended accounting standards available for early adoption, but not yet adopted, are not anticipated to have a material effect on the accounting policies or the financial results of Infigen or the Trust. AASB 16 Leases (effective for the financial year commencing 1 July 2019) Nature of change Effect on financial statements Infigen intends to apply the modified retrospective approach Infigen has completed an indicative assessment of the effect of AASB 16, and estimates the following effects on Infigen’s consolidated statement of financial position as at 1 July 2019: ROU assets Lease liabilities $40.8 million $30.8 million > Infigen is not anticipating that the adoption of the standard will affect its ability to comply with debt covenants > Short-term leasing costs and non-lease component expenditure will continue to be charged against EBITDA > The actual financial effect on the results for FY20 will be contingent on any new leases entered into, or any lease modifications that occur during the reporting period > The Trust’s financial results are not expected to be affected by AASB 16 > AASB 16, which replaces AASB 117 Leases, removes the distinction between operating and finance leases for lessees. The accounting for lessors will not change significantly > > > AASB 16 requires the recognition of a right-of-use (ROU) asset (representing the right to use the underlying leased asset) and associated lease liability (representing the obligation to make lease payments) for all contractual arrangements that meet the definition of a lease > The ROU asset will be depreciated over the lease term on a straight-line basis, and interest expense will be charged on the lease liability > EBITDA will increase as the operating lease cost currently charged against EBITDA under AASB 117 will be replaced with a depreciation and interest charge, which are currently excluded from EBITDA (although included in net profit before tax) cash paid under > Operating cash flows will increase as the element of lease arrangements, attributable to the repayment of principal, will be recognised within the financing cash flows. The net increase/decrease in cash and cash equivalents will remain the same > A full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach is permitted on adoption. The latter option measures the lease liability at the present value of future lease payments on the initial date of application, while the ROU asset is measured as if AASB the 16 had been commencement of the lease. The difference between the ROU asset and lease liability, adjusted for deferred tax, is recognised as an adjustment to opening retained earnings, therefore there is no requirement restatement of comparative information applied from for 63 B RESULTS B1 Segment Information Infigen generates and sources renewable energy, increases the value of intermittent renewables by firming, and provides customers with clean, reliable and competitively priced energy solutions. Revenues are derived from various market channels in Australia. Because of Infigen’s performance from a geographic and product perspective, Australia has been identified as Infigen’s sole reportable segment. Only Infigen’s (and not the Trust’s) segment information is provided to the chief operating decision-makers, who are deemed to be the Board of Directors (Board). Accordingly, only Infigen’s segment information has been disclosed in this note. The Board assesses the performance of the operating segment using statutory earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), adjusted to exclude certain significant non-cash and one-off items that are unrelated to the operating performance of Infigen (Underlying EBITDA). Since Infigen operates in a single segment, the assets and liabilities are those disclosed in the consolidated statements of financial position. The segment information provided to the Board for the operating segment together with a reconciliation of Underlying EBITDA to net profit after tax is disclosed in the following table.

Revenue type Description Energy and environmental products Incorporates: Electricity > Electricity generated from Infigen’s own generation assets (after applying marginal loss factors). Infigen is assessed as the principal because it controls the electricity before delivery to the National Electricity Market (NEM). Revenue is recognised at the spot price achieved when the unit of electricity passes to the NEM, which is when the performance obligation is considered to be satisfied > Electricity sold to Infigen’s C&I customers under medium to long-term contracts at a fixed price and firm volume.

LGC revenue is recognised at fair value once generated and in the same period as costs are incurred. Each LGC is concurrently recognised in inventory until it is sold, at which time, the difference between the sale price and book value is recorded as a component of revenue Compensated revenue Includes: > Liquidated damages as compensation for revenue losses caused by construction delays > Proceeds arising from compensation claims made against the Australian Electricity Market Operator (AEMO) and/or maintenance service providers Revenue ($’000) Energy and environmental products Compensated revenue Note INFIGEN 2019 247,383 10,123 257,506 2018 223,662 93 223,755 Income recorded in accordance with UIG Determining whether an Asset Contains a Lease is $32,979,000 (2018: $30,295,000).

Under current legislation, the Trust is not subject to income tax as unit holders are presently entitled to the income of the Trust. Key principles Income tax expense consists of current tax expense and deferred tax expense. Income tax is recognised in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised directly in equity. Current tax expense represents the expected tax payable on the taxable income for the year, in accordance with current tax rates, and any adjustments to the previous financial years’ tax payable. Deferred tax expense is recognised in respect of temporary differences between an asset or liability’s carrying value in the Consolidated Financial Statements and tax value. Deferred tax is not recognised on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax assets, including those arising from unused tax losses, are only recognised to the extent it is probable future taxable profits will be available. Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset where there is a legally enforceable right to offset, they relate to income tax levied by the same tax authority, and Infigen intends to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Significant estimate and judgement is required in assessing the timing and level of future taxable profits. This includes assumptions about a variety of general economic and business conditions outside Infigen’s control. The assumptions and projected cash flows used in this assessment are consistent with those used in assessing potential impairment of intangible assets detailed in Note C2. Changes in the underlying conditions outside Infigen’s control could have an impact on future taxable profits and the utilisation of deferred tax assets. Tax consolidation IEL (as head entity) and its wholly-owned Australian resident entities form the Tax Consolidated Group which is taxed as a single entity. Tax Consolidated Group members fund and share tax with IEL whilst continuing to account for their own current and deferred tax amounts. The members are identified at Note F1. 68 INFIGEN ENERGY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT Income tax ($’000) Current tax Deferred tax Previously unrecognised tax losses brought to account Income tax expense / (benefit) Deferred tax expense comprises: Increase in deferred tax assets Increase in deferred tax liabilities Reconciliation of accounting profit to tax expense / (benefit): Profit before income tax Income tax expense calculated at 30% Non-deductible expenses of IET, IEBL and intercompany interest Previously unrecognised tax losses brought to account INFIGEN 2019 26,554 (6,049) - 20,505 2018 811 8,700 (35,655) (26,144) 4,109 (10,158) (6,049) (32,485) 5,530 (26,955) 61,396 18,418 2,049 - 38 19,529 5,859 3,198 (35,655) 454 20,505 (26,144) 33% 49% - - Sundry items Income tax expense / (benefit) Effective tax rate Tax paid / payable Deferred tax assets ($’000) Unused tax losses Derivative financial instruments Unrealised foreign exchange losses Deferred tax assets Depreciation Inventory Derivative financial instruments Other INFIGEN Attributable to: Attributable to: Income Equity 2018 Income Equity 2019 35,080 - 107,618 (28,535) - (3,203) (15,921) (1,024) 8,517 79,083 9,362 2017 72,538 20,993 3,490 (196) - (1,092) - 2,202 1,869 3,294 97,021 31,681 (15,921) 112,781 (30,651) 8,517 90,647 (64,699) (8,085) - (3,922) (4,849) (4,913) - 4,232 - - (3,831) (338) (69,548) (12,998) (3,831) (28) 5,836 5,035 (741) 28 - - - - - (63,712) (7,963) (4,572) - (76,247) Deferred tax liabilities (76,706) (5,530) (4,169) (86,405) 10,158 Net deferred tax 20,315 26,151 (20,090) 26,376 (20,493) 8,517 14,400 Deferred tax assets expected to be recovered after more than 12 months from 30 June 2019 are $14,400,000 (2018: $26,376,000).

In-use property, plant and equipment primarily consists of wind turbines and associated plant from the 670 MW of installed renewable generation assets across New South Wales (NSW), South Australia and Western Australia. It also includes the 123 MW Smithfield Open Cycle Gas Turbine (OCGT) facility in NSW, which was acquired in May 2019. During the year, the 113.2 MW Bodangora Wind Farm was transferred from assets under construction to in-use property, plant, and equipment following the commencement of its commercial operations. Assets under construction at 30 June 2019 includes the SA Battery located in South Australia.

Initial cost includes directly attributable acquisition expenditure. Subsequent costs are capitalised if it is probable they result in a flow of future economic benefits to Infigen, and they can be reliably measured. Other costs are expensed as incurred. In-use plant and equipment depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the relevant asset. Owned Renewable Energy Assets and associated plant are depreciated over 25 years with the exception of the newly constructed Bodangora Wind Farm which is depreciated over 30 years. The Smithfield OCGT (a firming asset) is depreciated over 20 years. Other items of plant and equipment are depreciated over a period of between three and 20 years. Assets under construction represents direct construction costs relating to Owned Renewable Energy Assets and Firming Assets not ready for use and, where applicable, include interest incurred on construction facility borrowings. Assets under construction are transferred to in-use property, plant and equipment once the asset is ready for commercial use. Decommissioning provision Obligations exist to decommission Infigen’s renewable generation and firming assets at the end of their useful economic lives. Decommissioning includes removal of wind turbines, firming assets, associated plant, and restoration of land. A decommissioning provision is estimated by discounting the future decommissioning expenditure to its present value. A discount rate that considers the current market rates, adjusted for the uncertainty of the expenditure is used. The provision is reviewed, and adjusted where necessary, at the end of each financial year. The provision is recognised as a non-current liability in the consolidated statement of financial position. At 30 June 2019 the provision balance is $10,648,000 (2018: $8,448,000). 71 C2 Intangible assets Infigen recognises three types of intangible assets: licences and development rights, development assets, and goodwill. Intangible asset Description and accounting treatment Licences and development rights > Certain licences and development rights are required to construct and operate Infigen’s owned generation assets. These include costs incurred on obtaining project approvals, land leases, and connection rights > Measurement is at cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment. Amortisation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the assets to which the licences and development rights are attached Development assets > Development assets represent expenditure incurred prior to the commencement of an asset’s construction Goodwill > Goodwill is recognised upon the acquisition of certain businesses. It represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of the share of net identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities of the acquired business Movements in carrying values ($’000) Opening balance Additions Disposals Transfers from plant and equipment Transfers from other assets Transfers - other Amortisation expense Impairment expense Closing balance INFIGEN 2019 Licences and development rights Development assets 70,883 21 - 825 - - (4,863) - 29,301 5,111 (6,500) - 1,041 (566) - (9,068) Goodwill 15,136 - - - - - - - Total 115,320 5,132 (6,500) 825 1,041 (566) (4,863) (9,068) 2018 Total 118,279 2,019 - 63 - - (5,041) - 66,866 19,319 15,136 101,321 115,320 Balance Cost Accumulated amortisation and impairment Net book value Key changes during the reporting period 118,572 (51,706) 66,866 19,319 - 19,319 15,136 - 15,136 153,027 (51,706) 101,321 162,163 (46,843) 115,320 On 18 December 2018, Infigen sold its Cherry Tree Wind Farm development project which had a carrying value of $6.5 million prior to the sale. The sale has been recognised in the disposals line in the table above. Impairment – accounting treatment All intangible assets are assessed for indicators of impairment on a semi-annual basis. Where indicators exist, impairment testing is undertaken. For development assets and goodwill (indefinite useful life intangible assets), impairment testing is undertaken at least annually, or more frequently if indicators of impairment have been identified. Impairment testing is undertaken by comparing an intangible asset’s carrying and recoverable amounts. Impairment losses are recognised when carrying amounts are higher than recoverable amounts. Losses are recognised in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. Licences and development rights and goodwill are allocated to Infigen’s single cash-generating-unit (CGU) for impairment testing because they do not generate cash flows independent from other assets. Recoverable amounts are determined as the higher of value-in-use or fair value less costs to sell. Value-in-use is calculated by estimating and discounting future cash flows of Infigen’s operating assets over their estimated economic useful life to their present value. In-house expertise is combined with historic operating data, electricity and LGC prices, market rates. and independent consultants’ assessments of wind resource and 72 INFIGEN ENERGY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT availability. Price forecasts use market observable and third-party assessments of forward pricing. Where a power purchase agreement exists, the contract price is used. A post-tax discount rate is used to discount future cash flow projections to their present value. The equivalent pre- tax rate at 30 June 2019 is 10.2% (2018: 11.7%). The recoverable amount of development assets is measured using internal valuations. These valuations reference recent transactions where available and adjusted for any differences such as nature, location and size and consider the current and/or expected future market demand for these development assets. Significant estimate and judgement is required in forecasting an intangible asset’s discounted future cash flows. Changes in underlying estimates and judgements may cause a variation to recoverable amounts. Impairment testing results The process of bringing the Cherry Tree Wind Farm to financial close indicated potential impairment of Infigen’s development assets, which required testing of intangible asset carrying values. Changes to the requirements of network owners and regulators as well as conditions in certain regions of the NEM had increased the cost and risk to realising the value of certain projects within Infigen’s development pipeline. The testing resulted in a total impairment charge to development assets (both intangibles and equity accounted investments) of $9.8 million for the year ended 30 June 2019. There was no other impairment as a result of the testing described above - which used the following sensitivity ranges: discount rate (+/-1%); market prices (+/-10%); and renewable generation production (+/-5%). C3 Commitments Certain contracted expenditure not recognised as a liability at the reporting date is disclosed in the following table.

To maintain or adjust its capital structure, Infigen may adjust its level of borrowings, issue or buy back securities, and adjust the quantum of security holder distributions. The ratio of Net Debt to Underlying EBITDA is a measure which assesses Infigen’s capital structure, and is monitored on a regular basis. It is calculated as Net Debt (gross debt less cash) divided by Underlying EBITDA (on a 12-month look-back basis). As at 30 June 2019 Net Debt to Underlying EBITDA was 3.2 (30 June 2018: 3.6). Distributions are paid to Infigen security holders when determined by the Board having regard to Infigen’s capital management policy which seeks to balance returns to security holders, value accretive investments and deleveraging. Infigen declared a distribution of one cent per security in relation to the six-months ended 30 June 2019 (30 June 2018: Nil). A Distribution Reinvestment Plan (DRP) was also made available to security holders as part of the distribution, with the last date for DRP elections being 1 July 2019. As at 30 June 2019, the parent entity (IEL) had franking credits of $6,228,093 (30 June 2018: $6,228,093).

At the reporting date, $26,764,000 of bank guarantees and letters of credit had been issued under this facility. Covenants The Corporate Facility contains a leverage and a debt service ratio covenant covering Infigen’s operating assets (excluding Bodangora Wind Farm and the Smithfield OCGT related entities). The Bodangora Facility contains a debt service ratio covenant. All financial covenants had been complied with during the financial year. Accounting treatment Borrowings are initially recognised at fair value (net of commitment fees), and subsequently measured at amortised cost, using the effective interest method. Transaction costs in respect of a borrowing are expensed over the expected term of the borrowing. Borrowings are classified as current liabilities, unless there is an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date. D4 Contributed equity An IEL share and an IET unit are stapled together to form a single Infigen stapled security. Infigen’s contributed equity consists of such stapled securities issued to security holders. Security holders are entitled to receive declared distributions, vote at security holders’ meetings, and receive a proportional share of proceeds in the event of winding up of Infigen. Key changes during the reporting period On 22 November 2018, IEBL was removed from the Official List of the ASX following implementation of the simplification of Infigen’s corporate structure as approved by security holders on 16 November 2018.

Effective financial risk management underpins Infigen’s strategic business objectives, and includes the use of financial instruments. Infigen’s business activities and use of financial instruments expose it to various risks which the Board seeks to mitigate to levels it determines appropriate by implementing specific policies and procedures. This section also details those financial assets and liabilities recognised and measured on a recurring fair value basis, their fair value classifications, and the methodologies used to determine fair value.

Fair value levels INFIGEN 2019 10,884 2018 - (706) 10,884 10,178 10,884 Financial assets and liabilities are classified and grouped into three levels according to the degree of which their calculation inputs are observable. Level 1 is completely observable (requiring no estimate and judgement) and Level 3 is unobservable (requiring significant estimate and judgement). The levels are summarised as follows: Level 1: measurement is derived from quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities; Level 2: measurement is derived from inputs not traded in active markets, but calculated with significant inputs from observable market data; and Level 3: measurement is derived from significant inputs based on non-observable market data. Significant estimate and judgement is required in assessing Level 2 and 3 fair values. The assumptions used in making these significant estimates is often based on long-term future events, and may therefore be subjective. Changes in the underlying estimates and judgements may cause a variation to the carrying values. The following table summarises the methods used by Infigen to estimate the fair value of its financial assets and liabilities. Instrument Fair value level Fair value methodology Electricity derivative contracts Interest rate derivative contracts Electricity derivative contracts 2 2 3 Accounting treatment Calculates the present value of estimated future cash flows accounting for market forward prices Discounts the present value of the estimated future cash flows using the applicable observable market yield curves having regard to timing of cash flows Uses: > A discounted cash flow methodology which reflects differences in contract price and long-term forecast energy pool prices (sourced from independent external price curves) > Estimation of electricity volumes (sourced from independent consultants’ assessments of wind resource and availability) > Discount rates ranging from 9% to 12% Financial assets and liabilities recognised and measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of derivative financial instruments. Fair value gains or losses relating to designated effective hedges are recognised in other comprehensive income and held in a separate hedging reserve in equity. Fair value gains or losses on derivatives designated as ineffective hedges are recognised in net profit. The portion of the derivative contracts expected to be settled within 12 months are classified as current assets or liabilities, and those that are not, are classified as non-current assets or liabilities. Other financial assets and liabilities (including cash, receivables, payables and borrowings) are not measured at fair value, in accordance with applicable accounting standards and Infigen’s accounting policies. Infigen has assessed that their carrying values approximate their fair values. 80 INFIGEN ENERGY 2019 ANNUAL REPORT F GROUP STRUCTURE F1 Controlled Entities Controlled entities that form the Cross-Guarantee Group are marked as [#] and those that form the Tax Consolidated Group are marked as [*].

The Trust’s consolidated financial information shown in the Consolidated Financial Statements therefore reflect IET standalone financial information. 85 G OTHER DISCLOSURES This section contains additional required information not disclosed in previous sections of the Financial Report. G1 Share-Based Payments Performance rights are granted to certain Infigen employees eligible under the Infigen Energy Equity Plan (Equity Plan). The Equity Plan consists of deferred short-term incentive (Deferred STI) and long- term incentive (LTI) components. They are collectively known as share-based payments (SBP). STI is subject to key performance indicators (KPIs) aligned with strategy, annual budgets and employees’ individual objectives. Where part of the STI payment is deferred as performance rights, the Deferred STI is measured over 12 months and has a two-year vesting period. LTI is subject to two separate and equally weighted conditions, both of which are measured over three years: i. ii. Total Shareholder Return (scaled market hurdle) - Infigen’s security price relative to the ASX200 (excluding financial services, real-estate investment trusts, and the materials/resources sectors); and Operational Performance (internal hurdle) - this hurdle was modified for the FY18 and onwards performance rights to account for specific revenue diversity and growth targets set by the Board. The Board has discretion to adjust vesting outcomes in circumstances including where actual value creation has not been reasonably reflected by the performance condition. The FY17 and FY16 performance rights internal hurdle is a cumulative growth in Infigen’s EBITDA to Capital Base multiple against an internally set target. They also contain a one-year re-test. Performance rights vest as either Infigen securities or cash, as determined by the Board. The cash equivalent is the market security price at the vesting date. Performance rights are measured at fair value at grant date and are expensed over the vesting period. Judgement is required in determining the fair value. Infigen uses an internal model with inputs including: exercise price; market price; term of the performance right; and security price at grant date.
