Good afternoon, and welcome to Infratil's 32nd Annual Shareholder Meeting. I'm Alison Gerry, your Board Chair. I can confirm that a quorum of shareholders is present and declare the meeting open. The minutes from our last Annual Meeting have been approved. I'll take the notice of meeting for today's meeting as read. I'll start today's agenda with a brief overview of Infratil's progress in delivering value to shareholders and the areas the Board has been focused on. Infratil's CEO, Jason Boyes, will then provide his view on how Infratil and its portfolio companies are performing and the outlook from here. We'll then have an opportunity for shareholder questions before moving to the formal resolutions and voting. Following the meeting, Directors will be able to meet with all the shareholders that are here today over afternoon tea. Today's meeting is a hybrid format. We welcome those shareholders who've joined us here in the room in Wellington, as well as those who've joined us online. This slide shows the virtual meeting platform. The boxes indicate where to tick to get a voting card and how to ask a question. If you need any help, you can also call the number displayed in the blue bar at the top of the platform. I'd like to introduce the rest of the Board to you. Joining me today in the room, we have Jason Boyes. Jason is Infratil's Chief Executive, and he's seeking re-election today. Andrew Clark. Andrew has joined us from Melbourne, and Andrew is a member of the Audit and Risk Committee. Paul Gough. Paul has traveled from London and is our longest-serving Director, and he's a member of the Manager Engagement Committee. Kirsty Mactaggart. Kirsty is the Chair of the Manager Engagement Committee and is a member of the Audit and Risk Committee. Peter Springford. Peter is a member of the Manager Engagement Committee and is retiring from the Board today after almost a decade. We'd like to acknowledge his contribution in materially enhancing Infratil's growth. Peter has been a strong steward of shareholder capital, and we're very grateful he's agreed to remain as an advisor to the Board for a few more months as we welcome our new Directors. Then we have Anne Urlwin. Anne is the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee. She's seeking re-election at today's meeting. We've announced two director appointments as part of our succession planning. Brad Banducci is here from Sydney and is joining the Board today. You're going to hear from him shortly when he gives us his election talk. Unfortunately, our other new Director, Tiffany Fuller, could not join us from Melbourne due to another long-standing Board commitment. Tiffany will officially join the Infratil Board after today's meeting and will seek election next year. Tiffany brings extensive experience in corporate finance and investment banking. We have other members of the Infratil team with us today, including Andrew Carroll, who recently has moved from Chief Financial Officer to the new role, Chief Operating Officer. This role was created because of Infratil's growth. Andy is also a Director of One New Zealand. Matthew Ross, who recently was appointed Chief Financial Officer from Deputy Financial Officer. Matt is also a Director of Wellington Airport. Lee Coker, who has been appointed Head of Infratil Investment & Corporate Development. We have Brendan Kevany, our Company Secretary. We have representatives from our auditors, KPMG, and our legal provider, Chapman Tripp. The financial results were released back in May, so I am going to provide a brief recap. Infratil delivered a strong performance in the financial year to the end of March, and this was underpinned by an 11% uplift in earnings to almost a billion dollars. The valuation of our asset portfolio grew by 13%, from NZD 18 billion to more than NZD 20 billion. We lifted the dividend to NZD 0.209 per share, up 2% on the prior year. These results underpinned one of Infratil's strengths, our geographic and sector diversity. Although our New Zealand businesses were largely constrained by ongoing softness in the domestic economy, Longroad Energy and CDC are enjoying exceptional demand in their markets and sectors. The substantial investment we have been channeling into those two businesses is beginning to deliver a strong trajectory of future growth. Infratil's strength lies in our commitment to active management, strategic clarity, and long-term value creation. During the year, we set four medium-term objectives, which are shown on your screen. These objectives were a response to Infratil's growing scale and maturity and the new challenges and opportunities this growth brings as we continue to drive shareholder value. Jason will talk about our progress against these objectives in more detail. I do want to underline that we are very focused on the type and scale of assets needed in Infratil's portfolio to drive ongoing outperformance and growth. This year, you have seen significant progress in refining the portfolio, and this has been a substantial program of work with more to follow. This slide is a summary of the dashboard of the more specific activity the Board is monitoring closely. First and foremost, our cornerstone goal is to deliver shareholders 11%-15% returns per annum after fees and taxes over a 10-year period. This is based on share price growth and assuming that the dividends are reinvested. Our performance against this measure is 17% per annum in the decade to the end of FY 2026. On a one-year basis, your return was just under 14%, and this was a very pleasing outcome when you consider the impact market concerns about AI investment and the Middle East conflict had on global markets throughout the financial year. These themes are continuing in the current financial year and underpin the importance of backing quality assets while remaining disciplined in the allocation of shareholder capital. We are very cognizant of asset and sector concentration risk, particularly with CDC's strong growth. We have, therefore, spent time stress testing CDC's valuation to ensure we have a great understanding of this and how to mitigate it. CDC also secured a public investment credit rating from Moody's Ratings in April, and this provides further support as well as a competitive advantage. In December, Infratil's inaugural BBB+ credit rating from S&P Global Ratings also recognized the strength, quality, and resilience of our businesses. This has provided a welcome benefit in the form of greater funding flexibility and savings on our borrowing program. It also means we have very clear credit metrics to operate to. Another measure that we follow closely is our calculated net asset value, or NAV, per share after fees. Market views on value can differ from the independent or market-based valuations we use for portfolio companies. This means, for example, that Infratil's share price can lag our NAV per share, where Infratil's valuations incorporate growth that is longer dated than equity markets are willing to value. We saw this effect amplified across FY 2025 and FY 2026, with approximately a 25% discount to our assessed NAV. Market volatility was a significant driver of this discount. That discount has closed to about 15% at more recent share price levels and will keep working to reduce this by helping our portfolio companies realize their growth opportunities and by communicating our insights on future value to the market. This communication is carried out through an extensive investor relations program, ranging from newsletters, which we send out to you, through our growing schedule of global engagement with institutional investors. At the same time, we're implementing initiatives to help investors better understand our business, and these have included publishing valuation and fee models and continuing to enhance our disclosures. New reporting on CDC's future contracted capacity is a great example of the latter. ESG reporting is another focus because decisions grounded in responsible stewardship are part of creating long-term value and managing risk. We ranked first globally in our sector in one ESG reporting provider's infrastructure asset assessment, and we were recognized as the top regional leader for Asia Pacific by another ratings provider. I've already touched on portfolio strategy and will leave Jason to go into more detail. However, I would note that portfolio company relationships and resourcing are an area that we are paying close attention to. For example, greater collaboration between portfolio companies is an area where we see the potential to unlock more synergies and value. You've seen an example of this announced in the last week with Contact Energy and CDC exploring a New Zealand data center opportunity. One of the Board's key roles is to monitor the performance of our day-to-day manager, Morrison. While the people working for Infratil are Morrison employees, the Board retains oversight and makes key decisions on the strategic direction of the business. This includes driving strong performance from Morrison with the evolving mix of qualitative and quantitative measures I've talked about. Infratil draws on the global expertise that Morrison is growing across multiple infrastructure sectors, and this growth supports Infratil as well as Morrison's other clients and investment funds. This global exposure is becoming increasingly important for Infratil as we seek larger and new sector investment opportunities. During July, Morrison announced a new strategic partnership with Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, and we've had a few investors ask, "What does this mean for Infratil?" The simple answer is it does not change Morrison's management of Infratil or Morrison's investment and asset management responsibilities. As Morrison's largest client by assets under management, we feel we're very well-positioned. Infratil management sees all ideas being germinated at Morrison, and the Infratil Board sees relevant opportunities. This means we aren't excluded or limited for choice. Infratil may choose to invest on our own or alongside other Morrison clients, as we did with the original investment in CDC and Longroad Energy. Morrison may also undertake transactions for other funds and clients that Infratil has elected not to participate in. The challenge for Infratil is more about balancing opportunities with our current priorities and the returns that we are seeking. There's a healthy tension in our relationship with Morrison, and the management model encourages out-performance with incentive fees. In the recent financial year, Morrison did not achieve the required incentive fee hurdle of 12% asset valuation growth on non-New Zealand assets. Instead, a NZD -18 million amount will be carried forward into the FY 2027 fee calculation and netted off against positive fees. The Board has recently commissioned an independent benchmarking report from PwC to review the fee model as well, and a summary of that report will be available on our website. The report found that shareholders get great value under our agreements with Morrison. The 12% hurdle for out-performance is a high bar compared to other similar investment managers. As this chart shows from the benchmarking report, Infratil has performed extremely well for a very long time. More importantly, we believe the portfolio today is as well-positioned as it's ever been to continue delivering strong returns to shareholders. These may be uncertain times, but they're also exciting times for ideas that matter. I'll hand over to Jason now to tell you how we intend to continue to deliver that outperformance. Thank you. Let's go up here. Great. [Non-English content]. Pleasure to see you here this afternoon. Thank you for braving the cold weather, and I hope you're staying warm at home online. Let me pick up where Alison left off. At 31 March, really this year, market volatility meant FY 2026 was not quite the steadier year we had hoped for, Liberation Day, et c. However, since then, CDC's announcement of Australasia's largest ever data center contract in early May more than made up for that, and that's the end of that graph there where you can see it spiking up. It was a transformational outcome, and the share price reflected that with a significant increase. Alison talked about 17% 10-year return, but if you calculated our one-year returns at mid-August, so taking that into account, the returns were almost 30%, and our 10-year return's within 20%. That's 20% shareholder return compound for 10 years, which is a fantastic track record, obviously. The strong increase in value reflects the rapid increase in earnings that CDC is now forecasting with that contract in place. CDC's EBITDAF, that's our preferred measure of earnings, for the current financial year, is expected to be between AUD 680 million and AUD 720 million. That's up from about AUD 390 million last year. The following year, it is expected to rise to more than one billion Australian dollars, so a massive acceleration. Then once CDC has built and is invoicing its 1 GW or 1,000 MW of contracted capacity, that will grow to about AUD 2 billion on an annualized basis. It's an incredibly fast-growing business now. Those are substantial numbers, and as this slide shows, CDC's data centers are substantial infrastructure. This is at Eastern Creek. This year, CDC in Sydney. CDC expects to spend AUD 3.8 billion-AUD 4.2 billion in capital expenditure to build more data center capacity, excluding land. Massive numbers. In the recent June quarter, it added another 90 MW of operating capacity and doubled the capacity under construction to 810 MW. That is really building to fulfill those large contracts that we have now revealed. It is very important, though, and CDC is very focused on maintaining its social license to operate. It locates its campuses, as you can see in this photo, in industrial areas and invests in electricity network infrastructure, such as substations for its large-scale campuses, and always has. Infratil also has extensive sector expertise in renewable energy, as you all know in the room here, development that CDC can draw upon to power its data centers. CDC is also a leader in minimizing water use. Its closed-loop liquid cooling system has been installed across CDC-built facilities for more than 18 years. We first invested in CDC 10 years ago, actually, in 2016, and we are now well ahead of the investment case written early last year, to lift our CDC shareholding to 49.7%, if you remember. That contract brings us right to the end of that investment case, so we are in good shape. June's independent valuation put our share of CDC at more than AUD 9 billion valuation, up from AUD 7 billion a year ago, underscoring that. It is not all CDC, though. Our investment in Longroad Energy in the U.S. also began in 2016, so they are both 10 years old this year. This is Sun Streams in Arizona. Like CDC, Longroad is starting to come of age. Electricity demand is surging in the U.S. Growth of between 30%-40% is projected by 2040, driven by data centers, but also electrification and reshoring of manufacturing. Longroad is responding by increasing its development cadence, that is how much it builds every year, to more than 2 GW per annum. Near term, this is underpinned by their acquisition of a massive 2.8 GW early-stage project that is making its way through its approvals. To give you a sense, it is probably twice as big as everything you can see on this picture here. To give you another sense, for comparison, New Zealand's installed generation capacity is about 11 GW, so they are building 20%-odd of that every year at Longroad. Regulatory support mechanisms for solar investment are in place until 2030, so we will still, and even longer for batteries. At the same time, strong power demand and prices have offset higher delivery costs, maintaining attractive development returns in that market. Solar and battery storage remain the lowest-cost sources of new generation in many markets in the U.S., and we have agreed to provide a further $300 million of equity to Longroad to help accelerate its growth from here. Longroad is also seeing the positive effects of data center demand, as I mentioned. It is close to completing a 400 MW project to supply a meta data center. Almost more interesting, it has established a team to develop further data center opportunities on its solar farms. Their initial work has identified up to 10 GW. That is a stupidly big number in a lot of ways when you think CDC is at 1 GW now. 10 GW of their existing and future development sites may also be suitable for data center development. You can imagine out in the desert here, there's lots of spaces for data centers that could be powered by those solar panels, for example. It's early days, but this could drive additional returns above Longroad's existing renewable generation plans, and Longroad is considering what form this might take, including whether to partner with an established data center operator. I know one they could partner with. While the U.S. market remains attractive, some Asian and European markets have seen development returns compress. Project delivery and platform costs have increased, along with complexity and time periods. In Europe, for Galileo, our European renewable energy business, this has meant a reduction in valuation this year, as I mentioned in the annual report, and a shift in its focus to fewer nearer-term projects in a smaller number of markets, a focus strategy. In Asia, Gurīn Energy is managing its prioritization of markets and opportunities carefully as well. Government approval for its large Indonesian solar project is also taking longer than we'd hoped for. A lot of work going on in those businesses while the U.S. is really taking off. Alison mentioned this before, but for a long time, we wondered if CDC should expand offshore to capture some of the oversized growth we see there. I just talked about in the U.S. But instead, we're seeing oversized overseas demand coming to Australasia. I mentioned those contracts before, and much of that demand has been focused in Australia. But last week, we announced that two of our portfolio companies, Contact Energy and CDC, are exploring how they might satisfy that demand in Taranaki. Contact Energy brings existing network infrastructure in Stratford and existing renewable energy generation, and a substantial pipeline of new renewable energy projects as well, which could be relevant for that project. And then CDC obviously brings globally recognized data center expertise and sustainability credentials. That sort of partnership, we think, makes great sense, and if the team can make the pieces fall into place, I think it really will meet our goal of delivering infrastructure ideas that matter, both for that region and I think the country. Turning to the strategic objectives that we set last year and that Alison mentioned, I think we've made solid progress delivering against those objectives throughout the year. On the first one, while we always make an investment decision with a view to holding an asset for the long term, and our track record speaks to that, I think, our growth has driven us to refine our current portfolio more over the last couple of years. This means we're divesting those businesses unlikely to scale or deliver meaningful returns under our ownership. To date, we're more than NZD 600 million towards our initial target of NZD 1 billion of investments. Things seem to come in billions in this speech, don't they? This has come from the sale of our stakes in Fortysouth, if you remember, RetireAustralia and our property business, and a sale process is underway for our radiology business in Australia, Qscan, as well. Importantly, I think looking ahead, we expect to continue refining the portfolio in the medium term. Another goal, on to the next objective, is to balance our operating cash flows and dividends in the medium term, a pretty important sign of the sustainability of the business. Income from our portfolio companies began to increase in the last financial year, and that narrowed our operating cash flow deficit after cash dividends to NZD 90 million from, I think it was NZD 120 million in FY 2025. We are getting there, and we feel like we are on track to close the gap completely. One New Zealand and Wellington Airport play an important role as cash flow generators, always have. With optimization of those businesses expected to continue to drive distributions. Both businesses have been pretty resilient despite weak macroeconomic conditions and sector challenges. Then importantly, to really finish the job on closing that gap, we expect CDC and Longroad to generate sufficient returns to fund their own investment, but also distributions to Infratil. Watch this over the next 18 months- 24 months, I think. Next objective, the growth of CDC and Longroad is also helping meet our objective of diversifying our shareholder base. Wider ownership beyond New Zealand, we believe, will benefit all investors over time by deepening the pool of potential investors and liquidity in the stock. Over the last year, we are included in the S&P/ASX 200, which has boosted offshore trading, and several more Australia-based analysts have initiated coverage as well. About a dozen analysts publish research on Infratil, which is a really important way to get investors interested. We do have more work to do on helping investors understand our model, and having fewer portfolio companies, what I mentioned before, will help with that, we think. Lastly, we are always scanning for new infrastructure businesses, is really the blue one that is on the screen there. For now, we believe our strongest opportunities are adjacent to our existing data center and renewable businesses. Longroad's exploration of data center opportunity is a prime example of where we are spending most of our time looking for new investment ideas at the moment. Let us have a look at portfolio composition. The blue is digital infrastructure, and this chart shows that the growth and composition of our portfolio over the decade, and our core investment themes have not really changed that much in that time. We continue to see the strongest opportunities in data centers and renewable energy, as I said before. We think they can help meet our target returns in a way that is reflected in the share price. Important for us as shareholders, that is at scale, and that growth can be supported by internally generated cash flows, which is important as well. CDC size in our portfolio, it is a big chunk of that blue, means that some investors do ask, and they should, when we might sell it to reduce any potential concentration risk. Our view at the moment is that we remain comfortable with its position and scale in the portfolio today. Approximately half of CDC's valuation is relatively low risk, comprising lengthy leases of mostly new cutting-edge data centers to some of the world's most creditworthy customers. That's not going to let you down, that part of the valuation. The rest is growth, and we constantly monitor the growth prospects of data centers around the world. They are at that kind of picks and shovels layer of today's digital world, housing the compute capacity that enables the cloud and AI services we hear a lot about. Infratil's had portfolio concentration in our high-conviction investments in the past. It's actually how we drive value. Our focus is on sifting through the noise around AI, and there's a lot of it, to understand what really matters for our existing businesses. We do that every day, and we're in a good position to do that. We see demand and customer behavior firsthand at CDC, we're at the edge of that. We see the implications for energy demand through Longroad Energy and our other energy businesses. We're seeing the practical applications as well of that, of AI at scale in like One NZ or our teleradiology businesses. Cross-referencing all that, we think gives us a good picture of where CDC's trajectory will go. Just a bit of a sidebar. These guys here, this image is a timely reminder of our philosophy to invest wisely in ideas that matter and taking a long-term approach to creating value. It was posted online just the other week to mark Morrison's founding back in 1988. That features the Infratil Board at the time, including Lloyd Morrison, second from the left there, looking happy, at one of Trustpower's original wind farms around 20 years ago. Wind farms were by no means mainstream infrastructure back at that time. Look at those turbines, my goodness. Now they are, though, and we see data centers becoming mainstream infrastructure in the same way. From those early days, the push from Lloyd was for Infratil to be brave and ambitious. We're still aspiring to do that and to do things that haven't been done before, and we're constantly looking for new ways to add shareholder value. This involves taking calculated risk and backing our view of the future, as I just described. While there's a lot of AI hype that needs to be screened out, it is clear we're still in the midst, arguably near the beginning, of one of the largest technological developments and infrastructure build-outs we're likely to see in our lifetimes. I think it's pretty clear AI is going to be transformational, just like railroads, electricity, and the internet have before. It will be hugely important to a country's ability to innovate in the future as well, which I think would have got Lloyd smiling as well. You get a chocolate fish if you can name the guy on the furthest left. I didn't know him. You can come and see me afterwards and claim that if you like. Let's just look ahead to finish up. As Alison said, prior years of investment are beginning to produce a significant step-up in returns. This year, we've guided to a 21% increase in proportionate operational EBITDAF from FY 2026. That's on a like-for-like basis at the midpoint, excluding corporate costs, because that brings in the share price, which we don't really control. Looking further ahead, as I said, CDC and Longroad are, we think, two hugely exciting businesses with lots of opportunity. We need to focus on helping them maximize and execute the opportunities in front of them to the best of our ability, and that is what is going to drive value for all of us. Infratil is well-positioned to support that growth, and our divestments are adding extra capacity to strengthen the balance sheet as well. At the same time, we need to keep an eye on the future and identify the next large-scale growth businesses. We are continuing to drive operational performance across the portfolio, and there is always plenty to be done doing all of that at the same time. Things may not happen as quickly or as predictably as we would like, but maintaining our capital discipline throughout that is important as ever. I think we all feel as a Board, and certainly as a management team, we are in a great position and have great fortune to have fantastic investment opportunities in front of us. For an active investor like Infratil, having those choices are what really matters when it comes to creating shareholder value for the long term. Thank you for your attention. I will hand you back to you, Alison. Thank you, Jason. We will now move to shareholder questions on our updates and the financial results. There will be an opportunity later in the meeting to ask questions about today's resolutions. In this part of the meeting, if we could keep our questions about the company update and our financial results. Let us start with written questions received ahead of the meeting, and then move to questions in the room, and then we will follow with online questions. Our first question submitted comes from shareholders Brian and Theresa Fowler, and they ask, "When are we going to get an increased dividend in relation to the share price?" Dividends are something that we discuss at length at the Board. We have seen the dividend incrementally growing broadly in line with inflation. We do not have a formal dividend policy, and that is because our focus is very much on delivering value for shareholders through share price growth. My advice to shareholders who do want to have a higher dividend is potentially to sell small portions of your shares and create the dividend that you would like to see. Okay. That was the only one that we have submitted online. Are there, before, yes, we are going to move to questions in the room. If you would like to wait for a microphone to come to you, clearly state your name, and then please ask your questions. Yes. Hello. [Michael Schroff], shareholder. I guess this is a question Jason might like to answer as the face of the company. These data centers now, maybe today or certainly in the future, data centers are going to become a lightning rod for protest, not just from wacko greenies, but from ordinary citizens who happen to be living in the vicinity of data centers. Maybe you could say a bit about how Infratil is looking to, I know you said something already, but maybe you could flesh it out. Yeah. I am also interested in what Brad would have to say, if anything, from what the state of play is like over in Australia. It might be we get Jason to comment on Australia, too, because today was Brad's first day sitting around the Board table. I do not expect him to be an expert on social license in Australia just yet, but feel free to ask him next year. Jason, can you cover these? Yeah. Thank you for the question, Mike. I am just going to pull this a bit closer. Excuse me. It is a really important one, I think, both as people who work here and as shareholders to make sure we are doing a good job, continuing to do a good job with all our development activity. Actually, we have had protesters at a lot of renewable energy development sites over many years for the business as well. I think we are well used to the types of things you need to do in order to make sure that things, well, I put it as being a good neighbor, to be honest. But the things that you are doing around your developments are in line with certainly best practices and beyond it. The key for CDC, I think, to think about is where we are building the data centers to something you raised about the neighbors. I think being outside residential areas, being in industrial areas as much as you can, having buffer zones around them are really important ways to develop. It is very similar actually for the solar and battery projects. You could see on the screen, right? You are building a long way away from people so that you do not have neighbor issues. The team, I think, are at the edge of what a very good data center looks like as well with their closed loop water cooling system. It is a real calling card of that business even globally. They will continue to need to improve their design as well and be receptive to feedback. We should expect that to happen. I think we are seeing it happen all around the world, though. From a customer perspective, they are all trying to build good data centers and be good corporate citizens as well. I am not so worried from a demand or investment perspective that that is going to mean New Zealand or Australia are disadvantaged relative to the rest of the world for this investment. I think the trick for CDC is to make sure it is as current as we can be on what the best way to build these data centers is. In our experience, in some areas like water, we are ahead of the game and with a very strong development set of expertise within CDC, plenty of expertise to adjust designs and incorporate the kind of latest and greatest of what is needed for these facilities in the future. When I zoom back from that, it still is critical infrastructure for a country. Countries in the future will really struggle without this infrastructure available. It is very economically important for jurisdictions to have this. I think our approach is more trying to make sure we are solving all the problems that people are raising in a reasonable way. The last of those pieces is really that energy pieces, and that is to make sure that you are able to bring energy on so it is not taking energy away from other critical uses. One of our advantages, that is what we do for a day job as well at Infratil. Making sure we are getting the timing and all those things lined up will be important, but you can be assured that we are very focused on it. Environment Australia, others might be. It is the same as here and the same as in the U.S., right? These things rightly get a lot of focus. They are big infrastructure investments, and they take up a lot of space and a lot of money. The good thing for us, I think, in New Zealand is that New Zealand will be able to benefit from everything CDC is learning in that jurisdiction and bring it here. Great. Thanks. Excuse me. Hi, my name is [Jim Coyle]. I am a shareholder. My question sort of fits into the renewable bucket. My wife and I watched a fascinating interview on, I think it was YouTube, last night on The Spinoff. Tim Groser was being interviewed, and he was extolling the potential for generating energy in the Taupō Volcanic Zone area. My question is about, is there some interest from Infratil in that? We are talking about what was described as a supercritical geothermal potential that could change everything. Everything. The question is, are you guys aware of that? Is that something that you could be potentially investing in and exploring in future? Because it sounds really exciting. We are talking about New Zealand being one of the three places on the planet, where there is a plume of hot magma sufficiently close to the surface to mine, basically. At the moment, they are relying on private government funding. Yes, that is right. Yeah. Thank you. Geothermal is a really interesting technology, including the supercritical which Tim Groser talks about. We are currently exposed to that in a couple of ways. One, through our investment in Contact Energy, which is one of the largest geothermal generators in the world, actually. They are definitely focused on the potential for that, and maybe some geothermal could power a data center in Stratford, for example. We are definitely focused on it. We also have, through our Clearvision Ventures, venture capital investment, investments in the U.S. focused on next generation geothermal scanning technology that uses radar to find geothermal resource in a much more reliable way than it used to be in the past. I would say yes, we are very interested. The scalability of geothermal, I think, is the question on most people's minds. On what timeframe, how quickly will it get to a scale that would displace something like solar and battery? I think our current view is it is very good in particular locations, but that in a lot of places, solar will continue to be the fastest and cheapest way to develop. Thank you for the question. Thanks. Any more questions in the room? One there. [Brian Busby], I am a shareholder. Have the fires in Europe had any effect on Galileo? I know they haven't been specifically in Italy, but they are certainly very fierce. I have just come back from the U.K., and it is one of the hottest summers I can ever remember. Yeah. It is crazy hot, isn't it? I haven't heard of anything actually specifically for Galileo, no. Thank you. Thank you. 38 degrees in London last week, so yes. Very hot. It looks as if we don't have any more questions in the room. Mark, can you read out questions which have been submitted online? We have a question from [David Langford]. "Is Infratil's long-term goal to be a predominantly data center and solar cell owner? Solar and? Solar cell. As in solar. Okay. Look, I think we often get asked about the concentration risk in that portfolio because CDC is performing so well and is definitely meaning that they have an increased portion of our portfolio. I think you might have also heard from Jason that this is a once in a lifetime potential investment opportunity. We are very comfortable with our investment in CDC, so it is the data center piece, and also very comfortable with our renewables investments, particularly Longroad Energy, but Galileo, Gurīn, and our smaller Mint Renewables business in Australia. That does not mean to say that we are not looking at lots of other ideas. It is a shame we cannot publish those ideas, and show you how many things we have considered. Today we had our Board meeting this morning, and even there were many ideas that we talked about as well. When we have more insight into other investments, we will bring them to you. But at this stage, I think it is fair to say that the real drivers of shareholder value are going to come from Longroad Energy and CDC. Anything further, Jason? No, I think it's possible to extrapolate in a straight line to that, but the world really doesn't work that way, and we continue to look at millions of options, yeah. Yes. Thank you. Question from [Stephen Mayne]. "Having announced the appointment of Tiffany Fuller and Brad Banducci to the Board on 18th of June, why have we waited until the day after the meeting for Tiffany to take up her appointment, effectively removing the opportunity for shareholders to give her a mandate and leaving her serving for a year without voting support from shareholders? A Board commitment is no excuse. You don't have to physically attend the AGM to run for election. Right. Thank you for your question. It is really disappointing to Tiffany and to the Infratil Board that she cannot be with us today. She had a long-standing Board commitment in Australia, so we did consult with the New Zealand Shareholders' Association to ask advice on how best should we do this? Should we have her stand for election today, but not have shareholders have the ability to ask her questions? We were advised that it probably makes more sense to have Tiffany join the Board from tomorrow and have her stand for election and be able to answer questions next year. Next question, Mark. We have a question from [Phil Journo]. "What contingency plans does Infratil have in place for when the AI bubble bursts? Yes. Well, if you could let me know the date, that would be really helpful. Because of the concentration risk, we do talk about, well, what if there is, for example, a significant pullback in the valuation of CDC, and what would that mean for CDC's credit metrics, its ability to fund itself in the future, and what would that mean for Infratil and our own credit metrics? So we have done stress testing exercises on theoretical scenarios so that we know that we have sufficient liquidity to be able to support volatility that comes through from sentiment in the AI space. Next question. A similar question from [Peter Claro]. "Sometime over the next several years, is there a danger of overbuild in data centers? I heard one U.S. commentator recently say, in the U.S., many datas will ultimately be turned into pickleball courts. How will we know it is time to sell data centers just as we got out of Tilt Renewables? Yes, very interesting. I do not know if pickleball was going to be the best fit, but Jason, any thoughts on that? The answer is potentially yes, I think on overbuild, but the question is where, and will that affect our business? I think I can only really point back to the remarks we made in our opening. We are building data centers that are leased out for long periods of time to the most credit-worthy counterparties in the world, and that is more than half the valuation of CDC, which, if you step back from it, is not a particularly bubbly or challenging valuation, I do not think, overall. So I am not worried so much about CDC's data centers and the enormous amount of cash flow that comes out of that business. If it just stopped with the contracts we have announced today, it is NZD 2 billion of EBITDA. The cash flow, along with the work Alison's mentioned around the balance sheet work that we have done to be able to ride out any volatility, I think will leave us in very good position with very high-quality long-term assets. I think a lot of the overbuild, if there is an overbuild happening, would be happening somewhere in the U.S. in a shorter-lived type of data center that probably is not going to be that relevant to the kind of long-term leased infrastructure we have got in Australia. I think we still keep a lot of an eye on what is the demand outlook for the output of these facilities. If somebody is saying they are going to build them in space, then I think everything on the ground is probably going to be used up before we put ones in space. All of these things that we are looking at for the long-term demand, I think, are what gives us confidence that the type of infrastructure we are building will have a place in most scenarios. Great. Is there any other question, Mark? A question from [Kaushik Patel]. "I'd like to know if there's any valuation hit expected from our One New Zealand value carried in the books, as we've seen a large sector loss value in New Zealand. If a write-off, if any, and the timing being affected by the CDC valuations that might grow, and hence fees kick in to our advisors, Morrison. Can you also elaborate on One NZ's business and carrying market value? Do you want to do that one? I might. Andy, do you want to have a go at that? We have Andy as a Director of One NZ and recently was our CFO. Do you want to put them, I don't know if you can put the questions on the screen here too, Mark, so that he can see them. Yeah. Why not? The One NZ carrying value is something that is assessed each year, and you look at forward earnings, and we remain very comfortable in the outlook for One NZ. Independent valuation is something slightly different, and the market forms its own view on One NZ's value relative to the independent valuation. The performance of MNOs in New Zealand is not all the same, but we remain very comfortable in the outlook for One NZ. Thanks, Andy. Any other question, Mark? [Lindsay Breeze]. "Are airlines willing to use Wellington Airport for wide-body jets? I might answer that question because I am on the Board of Air New Zealand. I think they are talking about long haul, though, aren't they? Matt Clarke, our CEO of Wellington Airport, with the work that they have done on the runway, where they have extended it through a RESA, the safety mechanism that if you are taking off, you might see at the end of the runway, I think does give them the theoretical ability to have wide-body jets come to Wellington. But an airline does need to see demand before they are willing to commit to that schedule. But I think it is a very positive development that Wellington Airport has executed. Next question. Question from [Anne] here: "Thank you for outlining your ESG considerations. Does Infratil ensure it avoids exposure to illegally occupied Palestine territories? Or has Infratil considered utilizing the United Nations-backed principles for responsible investment? Look, we take our sustainability and ESG program very seriously, and we have an exclusions list of investment areas where we have no interest investing in. I might actually, we have got our chief sustainability exec here, Louise Tong, in the front row. We might ask Louise to comment on the UN. Thank you for the question. I always love getting a sustainability question. You will see the exclusion policy on Infratil's website, and it does say that we invest in geopolitically stable regions. I think that would probably preclude Palestine and Israel and the several areas around that region. The question on PRI. Morrison, who manages Infratil's investments, has been a signatory to PRI, which means Morrison commits to integrating ESG factors into its investment process. Morrison has been a signatory to that framework since 2010. Great. Thanks, Louise. Is there another question, Mark? Yes, we've got a question. It might be one for Matt. On page 34 of the annual report, it would appear that in the total equity and liabilities figure of NZD 18.1 billion, the figure of NZD 8.5 billion in equity is NZD 1.1 billion less than the NZD 9.6 billion reported as liabilities. Can you explain how this is good management of Infratil? I will hand over to Matt, our CFO. Thanks for the question. If I've understood that correctly, it's that our equity is a positive number, and even if it is outweighed by our liabilities, that means that we have assets that are by far in excess of our liabilities. Yeah. Great. Answers the question. I think we're comfortable in that position. You can always contact us at the email address on the Infratil website if you'd like further information. Any further question, Mark? We have a question from [Peter Claro]. In his presentation, Jason, our CEO, compared data centers to railroads. Most of the railroad investors went broke because they overbuilt. Is that what Jason sees happening to the data center world in the end? Is railroad comparison the right one? Maybe not. No, I don't intend to go broke on this one. Good point, though. Next question. A question from [Dominic Lane]. There was a significant outage at One New Zealand service earlier in the year that highlighted the lack of redundancy in the network. Has this been addressed? Andy? Yes, it has been addressed. Next question. Question from [Derek Gower]. Does CDC actually own the servers or just the premises? If the former, how is the depreciation handled, especially in light of cheaper Chinese production? Do you want to start that? Just the buildings, not the servers. Yep. Next question. There are no more questions. Oh, great. Thank you. Given there are no more questions, we will now move to the formal part of the meeting. My fellow Directors and I intend to vote all discretionary proxies that we've received and for which we are permitted to cast a vote in favor of the resolutions as set out in your notice of meeting. For those of you in the room, you should have received your voting card when you registered, but if you haven't, put your hand up and someone will come and assist you. Each resolution set out in the notice of meeting is to be considered as an ordinary resolution and must be approved by a simple majority of the eligible votes cast by shareholders. The first set of resolutions for shareholders is to consider the election and re-election of Directors. The listing rules require that Directors stand for election at the first annual meeting after their appointment, and accordingly, Brad Banducci is standing for election. As I mentioned earlier, Tiffany Fuller can't be here today, so she is going to stand for election at our next annual meeting. The listing rules also require that Directors must not hold office past the third annual meeting following the Director's appointment or three years, whichever is longer, and accordingly, Anne Urlwin and Jason Boyes retire, and being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Jason is standing for re-election a year earlier than necessary, and as we explained in the notice of meeting, this is because we wanted to balance out the number of Directors standing for re-election in any one meeting. The first resolution is the election of Brad Banducci as a Director. The Board unanimously supports his election. Brad's credentials are outlined in your notice of meeting. I'd now like to invite Brad to address the meeting. Thank you, Alison, and terrific to be here with you. My name is Brad Banducci, and I joined the Infratil Board as an Independent Director a month ago. For reasons that Alison has outlined, I'm now standing for formal election to the Board. A little bit about me and why I believe I can hopefully make a positive contribution to the ongoing growth and performance of Infratil. If one thing stands out in my career, it is the breadth of experiences I've been lucky enough to have. I spent the first 14 years of my working career with the Boston Consulting Group, working for them in Sydney, Chicago, and Auckland. I actually did the performance and efficiency audit for the New Zealand Dairy Board in 1993 and 1998, and got to travel the world and engage with all of their customers. I have to say, it is very nice to be back in Wellington, actually, because I had some very happy times working here. After being with the Boston Consulting Group, I then spent five years working in venture capital and private equity. The first two years were doing a technology startup, a fintech, in the early 2000s that we ultimately IPO'd in 2019 in Australia. I got to see the challenges of scaling up a very small business. I then moved on to be the CEO of Cellarmasters, which was a roll-up of wine assets in Australia and New Zealand, bought by a company called Archer Capital. I joined them, became the CEO, and got to experience the difference between how you scale a business vs found a business. That brought me to Woolworths, where Woolworths actually bought the business, Cellarmasters. I spent 11 very happy years, I must say, working at Woolworths and being part of the team of Woolworths and Countdown as we tried to make a difference to the communities we served. I learned a lot about issues of rights to operate, reputation, and things that hopefully those experiences stand me in good stead as I join the Infratil Board. In terms of other skills I bring to the Board, I am a very curious person. I am used to dealing with complexity. I do love operations. I do not think I can ever quite fit Peter Springford's operational shoes, but I will certainly do my best. Finally, and on a personal note, I am pleased to be able to report I am married to a Kiwi, although I live in Australia. I have two very strong-willed New Zealand Kiwi daughters, and until a year ago, I was a wine grower in Bendigo in Central Otago. In conclusion, if elected to the Board, you can rest assured of my commitment in some modest way to help Infratil achieve its very exciting potential. Thank you very much. Thank you, Brad. We did receive a question from the New Zealand Shareholders' Association asking why Brad's most recent role at Ticketek wasn't included in your notice of meeting. The simple answer is that it was a private company, and he held that role for a very short period of time. But the Infratil Board's focus is on the skills gained across the span of Brad's career, particularly at Woolworths. As he said, we were very keen to add the operational expertise around the Board table, given that Peter is leaving us. We can also assure shareholders that we undertook diligent processes with our recent director appointments. I now propose that Brad Banducci be elected as a Director of the company. Are there any other matters or questions concerning the motion relating to Brad's election? Any questions in the room? No, thank you. Mark, are there any questions online? We have a question from [Stephen Mayne]. Why didn't the notice of meeting disclose Brad Banducci as CEO of Ticketek for 15 months until May this year? Could he comment on whether that experience will make him a better Infratil Director? Also, could Brad please detail his full relationship history with key Morrison personnel? After a few weeks on the Infratil Board, what is his view about whether independent shareholders would benefit from internalizing the management arrangements? Finally, when is he going to be buying some Infratil shares? Okay. Lots of questions in that question. The first part, I think we've already covered off why we didn't include the Ticketek experience, because a private company, and we didn't really think it was relevant to the reasons as to why we want him sitting around the Infratil Board table. I might also take the question around whether Brad has a view on internalizing the management agreement. I think, again, on your first meeting, it's probably best answered by me and my fellow Directors. We are asked this many times because we have seen some companies internalize their management agreement. In my Chair speech, I think I also referenced the benchmarking report which we have undertaken, which has clearly shown that shareholders are getting a fantastic result from our management agreement that we have with our external manager, Morrison. We really like the fact that while there are perhaps about 20 dedicated Morrison executives who work full-time on Infratil, with many of them in the room today, there is 200 other Morrison executives that we can tap into as we need to. The nice thing is that when we don't, when we're really happy with our portfolio and we're not necessarily looking to do anything particularly new, those Morrison executives can work for other clients, which keeps them very focused on opportunities in the marketplace. We talk about the internalization as an option, but it's certainly not something that is jumping out as a great solution for Infratil or its shareholders. Brad, I might ask you to comment on some of the other aspects. Thank you, Alison, and good to hear from you, [Stephen]. I learned a lot, as you always do, in my 15 months at Ticketek Entertainment Group. It was with Silver Lake as the key private equity firm. The primary thing I really got the opportunity to do was go very deep on technology. In a very large business like Woolworths, there are many layers between you and where the work is done. I got to really get hands on the tool, which I think is key right now. We all need to be engaging with the power of GenAI, whether we like it philosophically or ethically or not, and can see what it can unlock within the context of a business, and that was something I got to do over the last 15 months. The other reason I took the role is after 35 years, it was nice to do something completely different and just refresh myself. It was a very good opportunity. In terms of Infratil shares, if we weren't in a blackout period, I'd be buying shares. I will let my actions in the future speak for themselves. I think the performance this year has been very strong, as I know that both Jason and Alison have spoken to. Great. Thank you. Are there any other questions online, Mark? There are no more questions. Thank you. If we could please mark your voting cards in the way you wish to vote by ticking for, against, or abstain next to resolution one on the voting card. Resolution two is for the re-election of Anne Urlwin as a Director. The Board unanimously supports her re-election. Anne's credentials are outlined in the notice of meeting, and I'd now like to invite Anne to address the meeting. Thank you, Alison, and good afternoon, shareholders. Thank you for the opportunity to address you today to seek your support for my election as an Independent Director on the Board of your company. It was certainly a privilege to join the Infratil Board in January 2023, and I have chaired the Audit and Risk Committee since my appointment. I've certainly appreciated being part of and contributing to a company that invests in ideas that matter. Those fitting the brief for infrastructure characteristics and attractive global thematics, transformative assets that do matter to society both now, but importantly into the future. Renewable energy and digital infrastructure, including the AI-driven convergence between those two, as Jason has spoken to. Healthcare and mobility in the form of airports. A bit about me. Firstly, similar to Brad, I'm curious about people, about businesses, and what might be those ideas that matter in the future that represent investment opportunities for Infratil that enable it to continue to deliver returns to you as shareholders, meeting that target of portfolio returns of 11%-15% per annum over a 15-year rolling period. My chartered accountancy background enables me to get down into the detail where necessary, and my corporate sector executive roles in earlier years enhanced my ability to unpick complexity. I have been incredibly fortunate, having been a professional director for a number of years, incredibly fortunate in terms of the governance roles that I've had, many of which have been with high-performing New Zealand companies in earlier years, including Tilt Renewables, Chorus, Summerset, and Meridian Energy. My previous non-listed company experience includes as a former Director of Queenstown Airport and as Chair of National Commercial Construction Group, Naylor Love. In terms of my current roles, I'm currently the Chair of Precinct Properties here in New Zealand, the Audit Committee Chair of Vector in the energy sector, and I Chair the Safety and Sustainability Committee of infrastructure services company, Ventia. These governance roles give me a trans-Tasman perspective that is relevant to Infratil's diverse portfolio. I have a passion for sustainability and its focus on long-term value creation while also meeting society's expectations. As we've touched on here already today, sustainability is a key component of Infratil's social license to operate, as well as its access to capital to deliver the long-term value to investors. Being a Director of your company is both a responsibility as well as a privilege. I hope the brief details I've provided here today demonstrate my experience and focus on effective governance, financial performance, and delivering returns to you. I confirm that I have the time, energy, and commitment needed to support Infratil and to represent shareholders' interests into the future. I therefore seek your support for my election as a Director of Infratil. Thank you for the opportunity to address the meeting. I'm certainly happy to answer any questions you may have of me and look forward to meeting many of you after the formal part of the meeting. Thank you. Thank you, Anne. I now propose that Anne Urlwin be re-elected as a Director of Infratil. Are there any matters for discussion or questions concerning the motion relating to Anne's re-election? Mark, are there any questions online? There are no questions. Great. Okay. If we could mark your voting cards in the way you wish to vote by ticking for, against, or abstain next to resolution two on the voting card. Resolution three is for the re-election of Jason Boyes as Director. The Board unanimously supports his re-election. Jason's credentials are outlined in your notice of meeting, and I'd now like to invite Jason to address the meeting. Thank you, Alison. It is my pleasure to put myself forward for re-election this year as a member of the Board. It is a slightly unusual structure, not all Chief Executives are also members of the Board of Directors of their companies. I think as I have said in the past, I think that is a real strength of the Infratil model. It has certainly been the way here since it was established from Lloyd to Marko, to me. I think the real strength of it is being able to work as a team, this team here, and be in the same wacker, I think I put it last time, but certainly in the same boat as our fellow directors as we wrestle with some really tricky issues, like the ones we have talked about today. Is it important to be in CDC Data Centres for the long term? Is renewable energy an important part to be in? Are we looking after shareholders' money as best we can? That, for me personally, is the reason I come and do this job every day, is I take taking care of your money prudently, but with an eye on the types of growth that I think we are expected to generate, and I think we have the opportunity to generate incredibly seriously. I would be grateful and very happy to be re-elected as a Director to continue the work here with the rest of the team. I am happy to answer any other questions you might have on my background as well that you do not know already. Thank you. Thank you, Jason. I now propose that Jason Boyes be re-elected as a Director of Infratil. Are there any matters for discussion or questions concerning this motion? None in the room. Mark, are there any questions online? There are no questions. Please mark your voting cards in the way you wish to vote by ticking for, against, or abstain next to resolution three on the voting card. Resolution four is to provide the Board with the option to pay all or part of the third installment of the FY 2025 annual incentive fee, which could be payable in May 2027, by issuing shares to Morrison instead of paying cash. Resolution four is not seeking shareholder approval to pay the fee. The fee, if payable, is an existing obligation under the management agreement. What the resolution deals with is how Infratil pays the fee, and at present, if the fees become payable, they can only be paid in cash. If resolution four is passed, the Board then has the option to pay all or some of the fee using Infratil shares if the Board chooses to do so. If the Board chooses to do that, the price at which shares would be issued is 98% of the average market price at that time. We do not know today if the Board would exercise the option to pay the fee by issuing Infratil shares. That is a decision that the Board will need to make at that time based on what the Board believes is in the best interests of Infratil and its shareholders, having regard to market conditions and Infratil's circumstances at that time. Are there any matters for discussion or questions concerning this motion? We have a question. [Frank Pearson]. I will sit down if you consider NZD 75 million chump change, so it is about NZD 75 million. First of all, can I take Jason up on his picture, 2004, not 1980, 1990, whatever it was. Yeah. Yeah, 2004. David Caygill. David Newman, Chairman. Yes. Who would be on the left? I have missed the chocolate fish. I cannot get it. I have agonized over it. I'll tell you later. Last year, you were telling us the asset value was much higher than the share price, as you do year- in and year- out. In the end, you ended up issuing shares in the NZD 10-ish at about 2/3 of the price now. Essentially, instead of getting NZD 80 million, Morrison & Co. got NZD 120 million of value for their management fee. At the same time, you're paying dividends to people, and I'm sure I'll get somebody yelling at me now. You're paying dividends to people which are unimputed, so taxable. If we assume that's 20% average, if you cut the dividend and paid cash, you'd be saving shareholders about NZD 75 million-NZD 80 million a year. I just don't understand the policies that are in place? Sorry. When we decide to either pay Morrison in shares or cash, it does really come back to our own opportunities for that cash. I think when we decided to issue shares, we felt that the cash could be better used elsewhere in the portfolio. I think what share price it was in FY 2025 vs now is not really relevant because I think what is relevant is the 2% discount that we give to Morrison, which is set in the management agreement, which also equates to the 2% discount in the DRP that is available to shareholders. But always happy to have alternate views put forward. Any comments? Just on the dividend point. I take your point, and we've talked a lot as a Board, I think, about the dividend policy and what the right thing to do there is. I think we're confident that the right balance is to maintain but not strongly grow it because of the large proportion, I think, of the shareholder base that still expects that dividend. I think we felt that if you, say, cut the dividend to pay management fees, you would see I'm not sure the share price would have gone to NZD 15. I think that would be the worry we're thinking about for all shareholders, is that you would get a reaction in the share price that outweighs the NZD 20 million-NZD 30 million kind of gap between your NZD 75 million and your NZD 120 million that you talked about there. It is a balancing act, and I think it would be perfectly fine for you to continue to raise it at these forums. Thank you. Can I follow up, please? Yeah. Only to point out, Madam Chairman, that you, to a question earlier about the risks of being concentrated and you said you had sufficient liquidity. I think that was the expression? Yes, sufficient liquidity. Well, if you've got sufficient liquidity, why are you? I think you'll notice that at the end of FY 2026, we paid Morrison in cash. There were no shares issued. It was, when you say last year, that was in May 2025. At the moment, we have said we do have about more than NZD 1 billion of available liquidity, and that isn't necessarily cash sitting on the balance sheet, but that is an undrawn facility that's available to us. We also have our 9% sitting in Contact Energy, which could be used for liquidity if we chose to. Here we have another question. I'm just wondering if there are any other pros or cons. I'd also like to say that as shareholders, we're quite happy to get non-imputed dividends? Yeah. It is a balancing act. We actually think it is in the best. What happens is there is a subvention payment from Wellington Airport and also from One NZ, and that is more tax effective for the company and therefore beneficial for shareholders. That is one of the key reasons why we don't have imputation credits to attach to our dividends. Mark, any more questions in the room? Any more pros and cons? She's just asking again, pros and cons, yeah. Yes. I think we've covered them, really. I think we have covered them. I think some people, as I mentioned earlier, hold their shares on an online platform where you can easily sell and the transaction costs are very small, so you can make your own dividends. That isn't available for all shareholders. We think it is important to pay a small dividend. I think we've increased it by 2% this year, because that is important for a number of retail shareholders in particular. We have recently done about 20 meetings with institutional shareholders, and actually, none of them raised the issue around dividends, so they seem very comfortable that we are paying a small but growing dividend to shareholders. Mark, any questions online? We've had two or three similar questions, which I'll paraphrase. It's again around the review of the management contract and comparing it with other managers, and also whether you've had discussions with any of the large shareholders around internalization? Right. Thank you. I think what has been really helpful is that the Board has undertaken this benchmarking exercise, by PwC, and we have now an executive summary of that benchmarking exercise on our website. It's a good comparison of the management agreement that we have with Morrison vs other listed infrastructure companies. You'll actually see that the hurdle rate is the highest, I think, in the comparator group. Shareholders get a lot of value from that very high hurdle rate. Morrison earns no performance fees if on the non-New Zealand assets the performance is below 12%. Above 12%, 20% of the outperformance is paid to Morrison as an incentive fee. That structure, although it is more than 30 years old, is we think at the moment delivering great value to shareholders. We do consider that question, and you will have noticed, I'm sure many of you are long-time shareholders, that we have undertaken different benchmarking exercises over the last 10 years. I think this is probably our third or fourth benchmarking exercise. We also recognize, however, that the management agreement is complicated, so we are balancing the complexity of the management agreement with that real advantage of having that high hurdle rate on non-New Zealand assets. Also noting there is no performance fees paid to Morrison on New Zealand assets. We also think that is an interesting point to note. We used to be concerned that that might bias Morrison to not recommend investments in New Zealand. However, as you know, we have invested, first of all, buying the first half of Vodafone and then buying the second half, and now fully own One New Zealand, which is a fantastic portfolio company. There was another part of that question, I think, around internalizing the management agreement. I think I addressed that when Stephen Mayne was asking his question of Brad. Any other questions online? There are no more questions. Great. Thank you. If you could please mark your voting card in the way you wish to vote by ticking for, against, or abstain next to resolution four on the voting card. The final resolution for shareholders to consider today is the remuneration of Infratil's Auditor, KPMG. KPMG are automatically reappointed as Auditors under the Companies Act. However, the meeting is required to authorize Directors to set the audit fee. I now propose that the Directors are authorized to set the remuneration of the auditor, and I would like to ask, are there any questions for the Board concerning this motion? Mark, can I check if there are any questions online? We have a question from Stephen Mayne. What is the history of KPMG's relationship with Infratil and Morrison? When was the external audit last tendered, and when is it next planned to be tendered? Could the Audit Chair please comment on how Infratil has responded to the recent revelations around confidentiality breaches in KPMG Sydney's audit division to assist with tenders to win new clients? Great. I will just hand over to Anne Urlwin, our Chair of our Audit and Risk Committee, to answer those questions. Thank you for the question, Mr. Mayne. As a committee, the Audit and Risk Committee reviews auditor independence and audit quality annually. While KPMG has been Infratil's group auditor for an extended period of time, I actually think it is back to about 2001. Infratil is primarily a holding company rather than an operating business in and of itself, and most of the audit work, as well as, of course, most of the financial results, are actually undertaken within the portfolio companies. A number of those portfolio companies have moved to have KPMG as their auditor in recent years, so there isn't that long tenure there. Not all of them have KPMG as their auditor. One of the key requirements we have, of course, is that the lead audit partner is rotated at least every five years. That provides fresh perspective and independent challenge. We also have a range of other independent assurance providers because KPMG, of course, is prohibited from providing a range of services that could create an actual or perceived conflict. They cannot undertake any internal audit work, any management consulting services, any valuation services. We get those services provided by other independent assurance providers. For example, PwC acts as Infratil's global tax advisor, and EY provide assurance over climate disclosures. Importantly, and I think this is a key component of Infratil as a holding company rather than an operating business, Infratil appoints independent valuers to assess the values of most of our portfolio companies, with those valuers selected from a panel, and those valuers are required to rotate every three years. For the moment, the committee certainly remains satisfied with both the quality of the audit services provided by KPMG and their independence. We do, of course, continue to keep the audit relationship under regular review. I think we have all noted, with concern what the issues have been as they have been reported in the Australian media in relation to KPMG. We have had very proactive engagement, including proactive reaching out by KPMG at the most senior level here in New Zealand to provide that assurance to Infratil and also to its portfolio companies, particularly those in Australia that do utilize KPMG as their auditor. Firstly, none of the personnel at KPMG that have been referred to publicly in Australia are involved in the delivery of any audit services to the Infratil group. There is no indication that similar behaviors that are being reported in the Australian media have occurred as part of the Infratil group audit. We will, of course, keep everything under review, and we will continue to monitor the independence and the performance of KPMG as Infratil's Auditor. Thanks, Anne. Mark, can I check if there are any other questions online? There are no further questions. Great. Thank you. Please mark your voting cards in the way you wish to vote by ticking for, against, or abstain next to resolution five on your voting card. Ladies and gentlemen, our registry, MUFG, will now move through the room with ballot boxes to collect your voting cards. This concludes the business of the meeting. For those in the room, I would like to invite you to join Directors to have some refreshments. Thank you very much. [Non-English content]. I would also like to say that the results of the polls will be announced through the market later today or tomorrow. Thank you.
