Pursuant to section 207T of the Companies Act 1993, PricewaterhouseCoopers is automatically re-appointed

In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, Brian Cadzow and James Ogden retire by rotation and, each being

The Board (other than Brian Cadzow and James Ogden in respect of their own positions) unanimously

recommends that you vote in favour of the re-election of each of Brian Cadzow and James Ogden as
