ACQUISITION OF Z ENERGY RECEIVES HIGH COURT APPROVAL

Ampol Limited (ASX:ALD) (Ampol) confirms today that the New Zealand High Court has issued final orders approving the Scheme of Arrangement (Scheme) with Z Energy Limited (NZX/ASX:ZEL) (Z Energy) .

Subject to remaining customary completion conditions being satisfied or waived by or at 8.00am on the Scheme Implementation Date, the Scheme timetable is:

Subject to remaining customary completion conditions being satisfied or waived by or at 8.00am on the Scheme Implementation Date, and based on the timing set out above, holders of Z Energy shares at 7:00pm (New Zealand time) on the Scheme Record Date will be entitled to receive the Scheme Consideration of NZ$3.78200 per Z Energy share in cash, which is expected to be despatched on the Scheme Implementation Date.

The Scheme Consideration of NZ$3.78200 per Z Energy share in cash includes an Implementation Date Adjustment (as defined in the Scheme Booklet) of NZ$0.02200 per Z Energy share1. A delay in the anticipated timing set out above may result in an increase in the Implementation Date Adjustment, and therefore an increase in Scheme Consideration.

Z Energy shareholders who wish to participate in the Scheme do not need to take any further action. Z Energy shareholders who do not wish to participate in the Scheme must sell their shares before the close of trading on 28 April 2022.

A copy of the sealed final orders of the High Court in relation to the Scheme are attached.
