EXPLANATORY NOTES

Resolutions 1 and 2 are ordinary resolutions and Resolution 3 is a special resolution. Each
of these resolutions are to be considered by the shareholders, and if thought fit, passed, at
the Annual Meeting.

An ordinary resolution is one passed by a simple majority of the votes of those shareholders
entitled to vote and voting on the resolution.

A special resolution is one passed by 75% or more of the votes of those shareholders entitled
to vote and voting on the resolution.

A. Resolution 1: Re-election of Peter Brook as Director

One Director, Peter Brook, retires by rotation in accordance with the Company’s
constitution. Being eligible, Peter Brook offers himself for re-election at the Annual Meeting.

Peter is a founding director and chairman of the Company and has 20 years’ experience
in the investment banking industry, retiring in 2000 to pursue his own business and
consultancy activities.

He is presently chairman of Trust Investment Management Ltd and Generate Investment
Management Ltd.

He is also a director of Argosy Property Ltd, a trustee of the Melanesian Mission Trust Board
and director of a number of private companies.

Peter is a member of the Company's Audit Committee.

The Board of Directors (except Peter Brook) unanimously recommends shareholders vote
in favour of the re-election of Peter Brook.

B. Resolution 2: Auditor’s Remuneration

Baker Tilly Staples Rodway is automatically reappointed as the Company’s auditor under
Section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. This resolution authorises the Board of Directors
to fix the fees and expenses of the auditor for the ensuing year.

C. Resolution 3: Revocation and Replacement of the Company's constitution

The former NZX Listing Rules (dated 1 October 2017) have been replaced by updated NZX
Listing Rules (dated 1 January 2019), referred to in this notice of meeting as the "2019 Listing
Rules". The Company transitioned to the 2019 Listing Rules on 1 July 2019 (being the date
the Company migrated from the NZAX to the NZX Main Board) and now proposes to

revoke its existing constitution and adopt a replacement constitution which is compliant
with the 2019 Listing Rules ("Replacement Constitution"). If approved by shareholders, the
existing constitution will be revoked, and the Replacement Constitution adopted, with
effect from the close of the Annual Meeting.

The Replacement Constitution may be viewed on the Company's website:
https://www.burgerfuel.com/nz/investor-relations

The changes to the Company's existing constitution largely relate to the Company's
transition to the 2019 Listing Rules, the incorporation of the 2019 Listing Rules by reference
as opposed to repeating many of the NZX Listing Rules in full and the removal of
unnecessary repetition of sections of the Companies Act 1993 that the Company must
comply with.

In addition to amendments made to simplify the form of the constitution, the Replacement
Constitution reflects the following changes:
• Meetings of shareholders: amendments to (i) reflect that voting at shareholder
meetings must be by poll as required under the 2019 Listing Rules (rather than on a
show of hands) and (ii) make it clear that meetings of shareholders may be
conducted through a combination of a physical meeting and electronic means,
and that shareholders and their proxies may participate through electronic means.
• Director rotation: including an express statement that the Company shall comply
with the updated director rotation requirements of the 2019 Listing Rules, which
require directors to retire (with an ability to stand for re-election) after three years or
the third annual meeting following their appointment, whichever is longer.
• Director appointment: including an express statement that the Company shall
comply with the board composition requirements of the 2019 Listing Rules. The 2019
Listing Rules require the Company to have, at minimum, three directors, two
directors ordinarily resident in New Zealand and two independent directors. The
Company complies with all these requirements.
• Sale of less than minimum holding: amending the procedure allowing for the sale
of share parcels of less than a minimum holding so as to provide for those shares to
be sold on market (including through a broker on behalf of the Company), rather
than through NZX or in some other manner approved by NZX.
Pursuant to the Companies Act 1993, the proposed amendments must be approved by a
special resolution of shareholders. As the amendments to the constitution do not impose
or remove a restriction on the activities of the Company or affect the rights attaching to
shares, the shareholder minority buy-out rights under the Companies Act 1993 do not
apply.
Buddle Findlay has provided an opinion to NZX that it considers that these amendments
comply with the 2019 Listing Rules.
The Board of Directors unanimously recommends shareholders vote in favour of this
resolution.
