GENERAL: MRP: MRP Share Offer - Supplementary Disclosure Document

Mighty River Power Share Offer - Supplementary Disclosure Document

What's the new information?

This information is being provided to ensure anyone wishing to invest in
Mighty River Power is fully informed when they do.

On 18 April 2013, two opposition political parties, the Green Party of
Aotearoa New Zealand and the New Zealand Labour Party, announced separate
proposals for electricity sector regulatory reform, should they be elected in
2014.  The jointly announced proposals differ in a number of respects, but a
common feature is the establishment of a state agency to act as a single
buyer of wholesale electricity from generators.

These proposals are in respect of the electricity industry generally, and are
not specific to Mighty River Power. However, the announcements increase
regulatory uncertainty for Mighty River Power by raising the possibility that
a future government may enact legislation that materially changes the
structure of the New Zealand electricity industry.

How do I find out more?

Further information is contained within the Supplementary Disclosure Document
dated 22 April 2013 that will be published by the Crown and Mighty River
Power Limited. From Tuesday 23 April 2013, New Zealand residents will be
able to view the Supplementary Disclosure Document on the Offer website
www.mightyrivershares.govt.nz, or by calling 0800 90 30 90 and requesting a
copy.  The Supplementary Disclosure Document is supplemental to, and should
be read in conjunction with, the Mighty River Power Share Offer Document.
