Hedging strategy Interest rate fixed rate for approximately 70% of gross debt a 100 basis points change in interest rates ~ 0.4p change in EPS credit rating of IPR does not impact cost Foreign exchange transaction exposure hedge exposures once committed translation exposure match balance sheet assets with borrowings in local currency % 100 80 60 40 20 % of debt fixed* 0 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 * Shows subsidiaries & corporate at 100% and excludes JVs and associates

Nonrecourse debt funding growth Nonrecourse debt is secured against the cashflows of a project, with no obligation to support from the sponsor(s) Project Finance isolates individual project risk does not generate cross defaults Compared to corporate debt clearly defined risk profile funding costs are lower tenors are longer enables higher leverage

Continued growth in the current market Project finance market not substantially impacted by credit crunch Project finance assets still considered attractive by lenders Banks becoming more selective favouring strong sponsors and well structured projects Some increase in pricing and reduced underwriting appetite club deals more prevalent Project finance market remains open some regional variations

Optimise value from refinancing and improve IRR s Example Tihama IPP, Saudi Arabia 1,076MW Greenfield Cogeneration project Originally financed February 2004 in an amount of US$510m Refinanced June 2007, post construction Term debt increased by US$90m which resulted in an increased distribution of US$45m to IPR Debt tenor increased by 2 years to 20 Margins reduced by average 40bps Significantly improved the equity IRR Finding the right solution at the right time
Corporate debt funding equity and liquidity Revolving Credit Facility increased from US$640m to US$850m in October 2007 expires October 2010 22 banks, including most major Project Finance lenders Bilateral deals i.e. with a single bank, are limited due to the financial environment Convertible bond market open and highly receptive to IPR High Yield market presently almost closed and very expensive
Convertible Bond financing Highlights of existing bonds US$252m issued 2003, due 2023 Conversion premium 50%, 3.75% coupon, current exchange price 165p 230m issued 2006, due 2013 Conversion premium 35%, 3.25% coupon, current exchange price 374p 700m issued 2008, due 2015 Conversion premium 35%, 4.75% coupon, current exchange price 561p Attractiveness of convertibles to IPR Low cash cost finance High conversion premia Speed of execution Favourable market conditions capturing share price volatility
