must retire by rotation at each annual meeting of shareholders. The Directors to retire are those who have been longest in office

since their last election or re-election and, if they are eligible, they may offer themselves for re-election by shareholders at the

Annual Meeting.

2. Director remuneration (Resolution 3)

The Board recommends to shareholders that the maximum annual Directors’ remuneration payable to all Directors of thl taken

together be increased from the current level of $650,000 to $750,000 (plus GST, if any). This reflects a total increase to the

maximum fee pool of approximately 15%.

AGENDA

A. Chair’s address

B. Chief Executive’s review

C. Ordinary business and resolutions

To consider and, if thought fit, to pass the following ordinary resolutions:

Resolution 1 — Re-election of Rob Campbell

That Robert James Campbell, who retires by rotation and is eligible for re-election, be re-elected as a

Director of the Company.

Resolution 2 — Re-election of Debra Birch

That Debra Ruth Birch, who retires by rotation and is eligible for re-election, be re-elected as a

Director of the Company.

Resolution 3 — Director remuneration

That the maximum aggregate amount of remuneration payable to all Directors taken together (in their capacity as Directors)

be increased from $650,000 per annum to a maximum of $750,000 (plus GST, if any) per annum with this sum available to

be paid to the Directors of the Company as the Board considers appropriate and which may be payable either in whole or in

part by way of an issue of ordinary shares in the Company, provided that any issue occurs in compliance with NZX Main Board

Listing Rule 7.3.8.

Resolution 4 — Auditors

That the Directors are authorised to fix the remuneration of the auditors for the ensuing year.

D. Other Business

To consider such other business as may be properly submitted to the meeting.

By order of the Board

Rob Campbell

Chairman

2 October 2018

In FY18 total Directors’ fees paid were $536,876. The current pool is allocated as follows:
POSITIONANNUAL FEE

Chairperson

$150,000

Other Directors base fee

$75,000

Chair of Audit & Risk Committee

$10,000

Chair of Remuneration & Nomination Committee

$7,500

Chair of Marketing & Customer Experience Committee

$7,500

Other than the fees payable to the Chair of each Committee, no other fees are payable to Directors for membership on a Committee.

In recommending an increase to the director fee pool, the Remuneration & Nomination Committee has considered a report prepared

by PwC for thl’s Remuneration & Nomination Committee. The purpose of this report was to benchmark the fees paid to the

Directors of the Company against a peer group of NZX-listed companies with comparable market capitalisation. In accordance with

Recommendation 5.2 of the NZX Corporate Governance Code, a summary of this report is provided together with this Notice of

Meeting.

The proposed allocation of annual fees for the Company’s Directors effective from 1 November 2018 is as follows:

Chair of Marketing & Customer Experience Committee

$10,000$2,500$8,750**114.3%

*As noted in the PwC Directors’ Fees report. Please see the summary report provided for further information.

**This figure reflects the median fee provided for “Chair of Other Committee” in the PwC Directors’ Fees Report 2017.

The Remuneration & Nomination Committee considers that the proposed ‘Other Directors base fee’ being slightly greater than the

corresponding median fee noted in the PwC report is appropriate on the basis that:

(a) other than the fees payable to the Chair of each Committee, no fees are payable to Directors for membership on a Committee; and

(b) thl’s business is rapidly increasing in diversity, complexity and international scope, placing additional demands and workload on

the Directors.

The proposed Chairperson’s fee is equivalent to 200% of the Other Directors base fee.

The current maximum fee pool of $650,000 is able to accommodate the proposed fee increases noted above, which based on the

current composition of the Board would result in total annual fees of $647,500. Based on the current maximum fee pool, the proposed

fees will leave total headroom of $2,500. The proposed increase to the fee pool, if approved, will be used to allow for the Board to

approve payments to Directors for assuming additional responsibilities above and beyond the normal duties of either the Board or

any sitting committee. These payments will only be approved in the event of commitments such as business acquisitions or significant

strategic projects.

Pursuant to NZX Main Board Listing Rule 3.5.1, in the event that thl increases the total number of Directors, the Board may increase

the total remuneration payable to Directors by such amount as is necessary to enable thl to pay the additional Director or Directors

remuneration not exceeding the average amount payable to each of the other non-Executive Directors (other than the Chairperson)

of thl.

It is intended that any Directors’ fees will continue to be able to be paid by way of an issue of ordinary shares in the Company.

NZX Main Board Listing Rule 3.5.1 allows a listed company to pay Directors’ fees to Directors by way of an issue of shares in the

Company, subject to approval by ordinary resolution of the shareholders and otherwise in compliance with NZX Main Board Listing

Rule 7.3.8. Shareholder approval was obtained at the Company’s 2017 annual meeting for Directors’ fees to be paid in part or in whole

by an issue of ordinary shares in the Company. Where Directors’ fees are paid by an issue of ordinary shares, this is done in compliance

with NZX Main Board Listing Rule 7.3.8 and pursuant to a fixed share plan for Directors whereby Directors who wish to participate

enter into a subscription agreement with the Company. Of the Company’s current Directors, each of Rob Campbell, Debbie Birch,

Cathy Quinn and Graeme Wong have entered into subscription agreements with the Company pursuant to which their Directors’ fees

for the forthcoming year are to be paid in part by an issue of ordinary shares in the Company. Shares are issued under the subscription

agreements to the participating Directors at six monthly intervals, approximately 20 business days after the Company releases its half

year and annual financial results. The shares are issued at the volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares over the 20

business days prior to the date the shares are issued.

Subject to the passing of Resolution 3, any increase in Directors’ fees will be able to be paid by way of an issue of ordinary shares in the

Company, under subscription agreements entered into by the Directors.

For the purposes of Resolution 3, all amounts are plus GST, if any.

3. Auditors’ remuneration (Resolution 4)

PricewaterhouseCoopers is automatically reappointed as auditor under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993.

The proposed resolution authorises the Board of Directors to fix the remuneration of the Auditor.

PROCEDURAL MATTERS
Ordinary resolution

Each of Resolutions 1 to 4 must be passed as ordinary resolutions of the Company.

Pursuant to NZX Main Board Listing Rule 1.6.1, an ordinary resolution means a resolution passed by a simple majority of votes of holders

of securities of the Company which carry votes entitled to vote and voting.

Independence declaration

PwC’s Reward Services team has been engaged by Tourism Holdings Limited’s Remuneration & Nomination Committee (the Committee) to

provide independent benchmarking services in relation to Tourism Holdings Limited’s directors’ fees (the Services).

As lead engagement Partner for the provision of the Services to the Committee, I declare that no influence has been brought to bear upon me or,

to the best of my knowledge and belief, any member of the PwC Reward Services team, by any Board member, employee or executive of Tourism

Holdings Limited or any other party regarding the Services or outcomes of the Services.

In my professional opinion, all members of the PwC engagement team are therefore independent for the purposes of the Services as outlined in

the commentary to Recommendation 5.2 of the NZX Corporate Governance Code 2017.

Summary – THL directors’ fees market analysis

Non executive directors’ (NEDs’) fee market data has been provided by PwC for THL from an agreed peer comparator group of 12 NZX-listed companies. Details of the

peer group are provided in Appendix 1.

The basis for the peer group composition, as agreed with THL’s Remuneration & Nomination Committee, was purely comparable market capitalisation. The starting

point for developing the peer group was companies falling in a 50% - 200% range of THL’s current market capitalisation. One company below this threshold was

included, in order to ensure an evenly weighted sample of larger and smaller companies by market cap (six larger and six smaller). The median market capitalisation

across the peer group is $704m (with THL at $703m).

The table below shows a comparison of the current THL directors’ fees against the median of the peer comparator group. Data is current to 1 September 2018 and has

been sourced from publicly available information, including annual reports and NZX disclosures. PwC makes no recommendations regarding THL’s directors’ fees.

Where the THL Board wishes to pay its Board members relative to the comparator group will depend on the Board’s view of the overall relevance of the comparator

group, and specifically THL’s perceived relative complexity, relative scale, ranking (by scale) and risk profile as compared with those of the comparator companies.
