will vote for resolutions marked “Proxy’s Discretion”,

even if they have an interest in the outcome of the

resolution. If you have ticked the “Proxy’s Discretion” box

will act as your Proxy. The Chair and Directors intend

to vote any discretionary proxies in favour of the

resolutions.

of attorney under which it is signed) must be deposited

with Computershare no later than 10:00am (NZT) on
