more intermediaries, owns or controls or is owned or controlled by or is under common

ownership or control with the person and, in relation to a family trust means any beneficiary

(ascertained or discretionary) of that trust;

Business Day after delivery to the NZX for public release of the annual report for the Group

(containing audited Group financial statements) for the year ended 31 March 2019;

delegate of the Special Division; and

"Takeovers Code" means the Takeovers Code set out in the schedule to the Takeovers

Regulations 2000, as amended or replaced from time to time.

2. ESCROW

2.1 Each Shareholder unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to the Non-Interested

Directors, the Company and the Special Division that, subject to clause 3, it will not:

(a) sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of, or offer or agree to sell, transfer

assign or otherwise dispose of, its right and title to, and beneficial interest in, the

Shares in the Restricted Period; or

(b) do, or omit to do, any act if the act or omission would have the effect of transferring

effective ownership or control of the Shares in the Restricted Period,

without first giving not less than five Business Days' written notice to, and obtaining the prior

written approval (at their respective discretions but subject to clause 3) of each of the Non-

Interested Directors, the Company and the Special Division.

2.2 The right of a Shareholder to deal with the Shares is also subject to any other restrictions

which may be applicable, including under the NZX Main Board/Debt Market Listing Rules

and the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

3. EXCEPTIONS

3.1 Transfer to Affiliates: Notwithstanding the restrictions set out in clause 2.1 of this deed, a

Shareholder may transfer all or part of the Shares to an Affiliate, provided that the Affiliate

enters into a restricted security deed with the Company in relation to the Shares transferred

on the same terms as this deed for the remainder of the Restricted Period.

3.2 Offer under Takeovers Code and Schemes of Arrangement: Clause 2.1 of this deed will

not apply in relation to any full or partial takeover offer made under the Takeovers Code or

similar scheme or arrangement, provided that any such takeover offer or similar scheme or

arrangement is not made, whether directly or indirectly, by a Shareholder or any Affiliate of

either Shareholder. For clarity, if a full or partial takeover offer is made or proposed to be

made during the Restricted Period, directly or indirectly by a person who is not a

Shareholder or an Affiliate of it, then a Shareholder may sell, or agree, or offer to sell all or

any part of the Shares to the offeror under that offer.

respect of all or part of its Shares in favour of a bona fide lender to the Shareholder, provided

that the lender enters into a restricted security deed with the Company in relation to the

relevant Shares on the same terms as this deed, to take effect from the enforcement of the

security interest, for the remainder of the Restricted Period.

4. GENERAL

4.1 Specific Performance: Each Shareholder acknowledges that damages alone would be an

inadequate remedy for breach of its obligations under this deed and the appropriate

remedies for such a breach will include orders for specific performance, injunctive relief, any

other equitable relief and/or damages.

4.2 Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017: The provisions of this deed are for the benefit of,

and are intended to be enforceable by, any of the Non-Interested Directors, the other

shareholders of the Company and the Special Division under Part 2, Subpart 1 of the

Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017.

4.3 Severability: If a court or administrative body decides that part of this deed is illegal, void or

cannot be enforced, that decision will not make the rest of this deed invalid.

4.4 No effect: This deed will be void and of no effect if the Company's shares are no longer

listed on the NZX Main Board.

4.5 Amendment or Termination: Any variation to, or termination of, this deed requires the

written agreement of all parties to this deed and the Company shall not agree to any

amendment or termination without prior written approval of the Special Division. The

Company will provide the Special Division with notice immediately if it becomes aware of a

breach or a likely breach of this deed.

4.6 Governing Law: This deed is governed by, and construed in accordance with, New Zealand

law and the parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the New Zealand courts.
