Trading Halt

The Warehouse Group Limited (“Warehouse Group”) has agreed with the NZX to place the ordinary

shares (“WHS”) and the bonds (“WHS020”) of the Group in trading halt. There is considerable

uncertainty around what meets the definition of essential businesses and which products and services

they are able to provide. The Warehouse Group is in discussions with government on what

categories within The Warehouse will be available post escalation to COVID-19 Alert Level 4. The

Group will make an announcement when there is better definition of this, and will then request the

trading halt is lifted. It is expected that this will be by tomorrow morning.
