The Mobil Melbourne terminal will leverage existing refinery facilities and infrastructure to become one of the largest and most efficient fuel import and storage facilities in Australia The conversion of Altona refinery to an import terminal is a complex task and there will be lots of activity at the Altona site over the next few years Works at the refinery to allow Mobil to import fuel through its deep-water port at Gellibrand wharf and store the fuel in existing tanks before transferring it to Yarraville terminal are now complete the imported fuel was stored in two large tanks at the Altona site The works that we completed included preparing these tanks along with the pipeline that connects the Altona site to Gellibrand wharf for the storage and transfer of refined fuels Mobil has also installed new pumps to connect these tanks to the Mobil pipelines that send fuel to Yarraville terminal Customers will continue to collect fuel from the Mobil Yarraville terminal can rely on Mobil to maintain our supply of quality Mobil fuels throughout this transition The below animation provides an overview of Mobil’s Melbourne supply chain Mobil continues to seek ways to further improve the environmental performance of the terminal transition activities we are exploring the use of innovative ways to reduce waste from the decommissioning works by engaging specialist contractor services to reuse or recycle materials Mobil imports fuel into Melbourne utilising the Gellibrand Wharf and Holden Dock. Holden Dock can currently cater for ships up to 12.1m draught while Gellibrand wharf can accommodate ships up to 14.7m draught Access to use Mobil’s infrastructure and pipelines at Gellibrand Wharf pipelines connecting Gellibrand Wharf to the Mobil Melbourne Terminal and fixtures at the Mobil Melbourne Terminal may be available to Third Parties on reasonable commercial terms (“Access Terms”) The Access Terms will be negotiated on a case-by-case basis and will be structured assuming an economically efficient operation of the Mobil Melbourne Terminal including pipelines connecting Gellibrand Pier.  Access Terms will have regard to principles including: If no commercial agreement on Access Terms can be reached a Third Party Access Seeker can follow the dispute resolution process set out below:  Third parties seeking access may do so by contacting steven.flynn@exxonmobil.com to discuss and negotiate Access Terms Mobil is in the early stages of assessing potential options for future land use as a submission to the Hobsons Bay Industrial Land Management Strategy Study Buffer zones surrounding the site are determined by the relevant authorities including the EPA WorkSafe Victoria and Hobsons Bay City Council.  The Mobil fuels terminal will continue to be classified as a ‘Major Hazard Facility’ by Worksafe Victoria under The Occupational Health and Safety (OH&S) Regulations (Part 5.2) areas surrounding the Mobil site will continue to require relevant planning controls including the provision of buffer zones in the local community to ensure development surrounding the terminal is safe and appropriate The buffer zones will remain around the refinery process areas and existing tankage until decommissioning works are completed and a review of the buffer areas can be undertaken Any future changes to buffer zones will be undertaken in conjunction with Hobsons Bay City Council and Worksafe Victoria after reassessment and review of changes at the site At this stage we do not anticipate any changes for people living next to Mobil pipelines as these will continue to support the terminal operations WorkSafe Victoria and Hobsons Bay City Council The Mobil fuels terminal will continue to be classified as a ‘Major Hazard

businesses and customers to explain our changing operations and keep them informed of our progress as we transition to an import terminal The future terminal site will continue to rely on services and supplies from local businesses We hope that any other future site use will provide opportunities to support economic growth in the City of Hobsons Bay Mobil is committed to continuing to engage with our neighbours We plan to continue holding community meetings usually attended by members of the local community and other stakeholders including the EPA and Hobsons Bay City Council We will also continue to deliver our community newsletters to neighbours which include news and updates from the terminal we will endeavour to keep our neighbours informed of any major works or activities that they may notice through letters and text messages in addition to the regular meetings and newsletters A significant proportion of the current refinery workforce will continue to work on terminal conversion projects as well as decommissioning activities for a number of years Mobil is working to deploy some employees to other roles within ExxonMobil Australia We are supporting employees who will leave the refinery in a number of ways including offering out-placement support and careers coaching along with a Careers Fair providing employees with the opportunity to speak with prospective employers from similar industries If you would like more information about the Altona refinery and for all general enquiries relating to the refinery, please email us at CommunityANZ@exxonmobil.com For urgent matters regarding the refinery's operations Altona Refinery has a 24-hour community hotline for local residents and community members For other enquiries please refer to our Contact Us

"We are proud to support the clean energy infrastructure Birch Creek is developing in the state of Missouri," said Riddick Skinner EVP of Government Lending at West Town Bank & Trust "The success of our industry banks on strong partnerships and we look forward to continuing to support Birch Creek alongside their partners as they grow through the Altona project." Altona Solar is a 42MWdc solar project based in Audrain County Missouri.  The project is sited on 208 acres and connects to Ameren Missouri.  Altona Solar generates enough clean electricity to power over 6,300 homes.  About Celtic BankFounded in 2001 and headquartered in Salt Lake City Celtic Bank is an industrial bank specializing in a diverse range of financing solutions for businesses The bank's early focus was in small business lending through the SBA loan program and Celtic continues to consistently rank in the top 10 SBA lenders nationwide by dollar volume the bank has expanded its offerings through financial technology partnerships and has grown its assets in other sectors allowing the bank to assist a broad range of commercial customers across different industries and lifecycles a utility scale solar and storage developer and independent power producer announced the completion of financing and full operation of Earp ..
