PROCEDURAL NOTES
Entitlement to vote
You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting if you have a shareholding at 5.00pm on Friday 22 May 2020 (New Zealand time).
There are no restrictions on any shareholder or group of shareholders to prevent them from exercising their vote on any of the resolutions
being considered at the meeting.
Proxies and Corporate Representatives
Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting may appoint a proxy (or representative, in the case of a corporate
shareholder) to attend and vote on their behalf. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. The appointment of a proxy or
representative does not preclude a shareholder from attending the virtual Annual Meeting and voting.
The Chair of the meeting, or any other director, is willing to act as proxy for any shareholder who wishes to appoint him or her to vote on
their behalf. If you appoint the Chair of the meeting, or any other director, as your proxy and do not direct him or her how to vote in the
proxy form, the Chair of the meeting, or that other director, will vote in favour of all resolutions being put to the meeting. To appoint the
Chair of the meeting or another director as your proxy, enter 'the Chair' or the name of that other director you wish to appoint in the space
allocated in 'Step 1' of the proxy form enclosed with this Notice. Alternatively, to appoint a proxy online (or in the case of a corporate
shareholder, a representative), the shareholder must make that appointment online by visiting
www.investorvote.co.nz. A shareholder will
be taken to have signed the proxy form by lodging it in accordance with the instructions on the website.
If you do not name a person as your proxy but otherwise complete the proxy form in full, or you appoint a proxy but your named proxy does
not attend the meeting, the Chair of the meeting will be appointed your proxy. When acting as proxy in these circumstances, the Chair of
the meeting will:
• vote in accordance with your express direction; and
• for any resolutions where you have selected "discretion", vote in accordance with his or her discretion (subject to any
applicable voting restrictions).
Proxy forms must be received by the Company’s share registrar, Computershare Investor Services Limited (contact details for which are set out on the
proxy form), by 3.00pm on Sunday 24 May 2020 (New Zealand time). A proxy form is enclosed with this Notice.
All resolutions for consideration at the Annual Meeting are ordinary resolutions and must be passed by a simple majority of the votes of those
shareholders entitled to vote and voting on the resolutions.
Virtual Annual Meeting
Due to the ongoing public health restrictions relating to the spread of COVID-19, the Company has made the decision to hold its first virtual Annual
Meeting. Shareholders will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. All shareholders will have the opportunity to attend and participate in
the 2020 Annual Meeting online via an internet connection (using a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone). The virtual meeting will be accessible on
both desktop and mobile devices. In order to participate remotely you will need to either:
• Download Lumi AGM from the App Store or Google Play Stores for free – search for “Lumi AGM”; or
• Visit “web.lumiagm.com” on your desktop or mobile device. Ensure that your browser is compatible – Lumi AGM supports the latest version
of Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Edge or Firefox.
If you have any questions, or need assistance with the online process, please contact Computershare on +64 9 488 8777 between 8.30am and 5.00pm
Monday to Friday (New Zealand time).
Audio will stream through the selected device, so shareholders will need to ensure that they have the volume control on their headphones or device
turned up. Shareholders will be able to view the presentations, vote on the resolutions to be put to shareholders and ask questions, by using their own
computers or mobile devices. Shareholders will still be able to appoint a proxy to vote for them, as they otherwise would, by following the instructions
on the proxy form and this Notice of Annual Meeting.
Details of how to participate ‘virtually’ are provided in the accompanying Virtual Meeting Guide, with instructions for accessing the virtual meeting.
Shareholders are encouraged to review this guide and download the app prior to the Annual Meeting. Shareholders will require the meeting ID – which
is 375-226-906
– as well as their CSN/Securityholder Number, which can be found on their proxy form, for verification purposes.
