APA announces expiration and final results of cash tender offer for USD senior notes due 2027

SYDNEY, Oct. 1, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — APA Infrastructure Limited, an Australian corporation (the “Company”) and the borrowing entity of its parent company, APA Group Limited, an Australian corporation, today announced the final tender results of its previously announced tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase for cash up to US$425,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “Maximum Acceptance Amount”) of its outstanding 4.25% Senior Guaranteed Notes due 2027 (the “Securities”). The Tender Offer has now expired.

The Tender Offer was made pursuant to an Offer to Purchase, dated September 2, 2025 (as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, the “Offer to Purchase”), which sets forth a more detailed description of the Tender Offer and is available online at https://www.gbsc-usa.com/apa/. Holders of the Securities are urged to read the Offer to Purchase carefully before making any decision with respect to the Tender Offer. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement have the meanings given to them in the Offer to Purchase.

As of 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on September 30, 2025 (the “Expiration Deadline”), the aggregate principal amount of Securities that had been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn was US$403,001,000, consisting of (i) US$396,372,000 in aggregate principal amount of Securities that had been validly tendered as of the Early Tender Deadline (and not validly withdrawn as of the Withdrawal Deadline) and were accepted for purchase on the Early Settlement Date, as previously announced, and (ii) US$6,629,000 in aggregate principal amount of Securities validly tendered after the Early Tender Deadline but at or prior to the Expiration Deadline (the “Late Tender Period”). No tenders submitted after the Expiration Deadline are valid.

The Company intends to accept (subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions of the Tender Offer), on October 2, 2025 (the “Final Settlement Date”), all Securities validly tendered in the Late Tender Period. Following the Final Settlement Date, the aggregate principal amount of Securities that will remain outstanding is US$446,999,000. Certain information regarding the Securities and the Tender Offer is set forth in the table below.

No Securities tendered after the Expiration Deadline will be accepted for purchase. Holders of Securities validly tendered in the Late Tender Period and accepted for purchase will receive the Tender Offer Consideration, being US$974.11 per US$1,000, as previously announced.

In addition to the Tender Offer Consideration, the Company will also pay accrued and unpaid interest on Securities validly tendered in the Late Tender Period and purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer up to, but not including, the Final Settlement Date. For the avoidance of doubt, interest on such Securities will cease to accrue after the Final Settlement Date.

Forward-Looking Statements

The Company considers portions of this announcement to be a forward-looking statement. Forward-looking statements can be identified typically by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes”, “expects”, “may”, “will”, “could”, “should”, “intends”, “estimates”, “plans”, “assumes”, “predicts” or “anticipates”, as well as the negatives of such words and other words of similar meaning in connection with discussions of future operating or financial performance or of strategy that involve risks and uncertainties. Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions at the time made, these assumptions are inherently uncertain and involve a number of risks and uncertainties that are beyond the Company’s control; therefore, the Company can give no assurance that such expectations will be achieved. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of risks and uncertainties, including, without limitation, possible changes in the timing and consummation of the Tender Offer.

Offer and Distribution Restrictions

Persons in possession of this announcement and/or the Offer to Purchase are required by the Company, the Dealer Managers and the Information & Tender Agent to inform themselves about, and to observe, any such restrictions. Neither this announcement nor the Offer to Purchase constitutes an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Securities (and tenders of Securities in the Tender Offer will not be accepted from holders of Securities) in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation or acceptance is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities, blue sky or other laws require the Tender Offer to be made by a licensed broker or dealer and any Dealer Manager or any of the Dealer Managers’ respective affiliates is such a licensed broker or dealer in any such jurisdiction, the Tender Offer shall be deemed to be made by such Dealer Manager or affiliate, as the case may be, on behalf of the Company in such jurisdiction.

Each holder of Securities participating in the Tender Offer will also be deemed to give certain representations in respect of the other jurisdictions generally as set out in the section “Procedures for Participating in the Offer — Noteholder Representations” of the Offer to Purchase. Any tender of Securities for purchase from a holder of Securities that is unable to make these representations will not be accepted. Each of the Company, its affiliates, the Dealer Managers and the Information & Tender Agent reserves the right, in its absolute discretion, to investigate, in relation to any tender of Securities for purchase, whether any such representation given by a holder of Securities is correct and, if such investigation is undertaken and as a result the Company determines (for any reason) that such representation is not correct, such tender shall not be accepted.
