GENERAL: MEL: Cleansing Notice

Meridian Energy Limited ("Meridian") gives notice under clause 20(1)(a) of
schedule 8 of the Financial Markets Conduct Regulations 2014 ("Regulations")
that it proposes to make an offer for the issue of fixed rate bonds due 14
March 2023 ("New Bonds") in reliance upon the exclusion in clause 19 of
schedule 1 of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 ("FMCA").

The main terms of the offer and the New Bonds are set out in the attached
Terms Sheet. Except for the interest rate and maturity date, the New Bonds
will have identical rights, privileges, limitations and conditions as
Meridian's fixed rate bonds maturing on 16 March 2017 which are quoted on the
NZX Debt Market under the ticker code MEL020 ("MEL020 Bonds") and therefore
are of the same class as the MEL020 Bonds for the purposes of the FMCA and
the Regulations. The MEL020 Bonds have been continuously quoted on the NZX
Debt Market over the preceding 3 months.

As at the date of this notice, Meridian is in compliance with:

(a) the continuous disclosure obligations that apply to it in relation to the
MEL020 Bonds; and

(b) its financial reporting obligations (as defined in the Regulations).

As at the date of this notice, there is no excluded information required to
be disclosed for the purposes of the
Regulations.

As at the date of this notice, there is no other information that would be
required to be disclosed under a continuous disclosure obligation or which
would be excluded information required to be disclosed for the purposes of
the Regulations if the MEL020 Bonds had had the same redemption date or
interest rate as the New Bonds being offered.
