co-operative shares in Fonterra ("New Shares") to shareholders eligible to participate in the 2019 Farm

The Offer is being made to shareholders in reliance upon the exclusion in clause 19 of Schedule 1 of the

As at the date of this notice, Fonterra is in compliance with:


• the continuous disclosure obligations (as defined in the Regulations) that apply to it in relation to

As at the date of this notice, there is no information that is excluded information (as defined in the
