NZR 27/04/2012 15:50 MEETING REL: 1550 HRS The New Zealand Refining Company Limited MEETING: NZR: The CCR Project - result of shareholder vote Refining NZ shareholders today voted for a $365 million expansion of petrol making facilities at the Marsden Point refinery. The ordinary resolution to approve the CCR (Continuous Catalyst Regeneration Platformer) Project required a simple majority (50 percent) of those cast at the Annual Meeting for it to proceed. The result was 64.5% percent of votes in favour of the Project, with 35.5 percent against. Refining NZ Chief Executive, Ken Rivers described the result as positive news for the Company. "The CCR Project is a robust opportunity to grow the Company and remain competitive against imported products while generating significant value for our shareholders and customers. We believed the case for the CCR Project was compelling for our shareholders and so it has proved to be". Mr Rivers said that the immediate priority was to get the CCR Project underway. The CCR Project replaces the Company's 1960s semi-regeneration Platformer. The Project is expected to take around three years to complete and be operational late 2015. The result of the shareholder voting on the CCR Project was as follows: o Of the 203,534,906 oil company shareholder votes, 56 percent were in favour and 44 percent against. o Of the 48,576,203 non oil company shareholder votes, 99.8 percent were in favour and 0.2 percent against.
