Today the company advises that it will no longer offer the ability for shareholders to attend the
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in person due to current concerns related to COVID-19 in Auckland
and potential risks to the health of meeting attendees. Shareholders will only be able to
participate online. This possibility was signalled in the notice of meeting.

would be raised to Level 3 in Auckland today, the company advises that it is designated an
“essential service” and continues to manufacture and supply respiratory products from its Auckland
facilities. The company continued to operate effectively during March and April this year under
more restrictive lockdown criteria (Level 4).
