March 2020 (Tranche 2) and 26 March 2021

(Tranche 3), subject to certain conditions, which

include continued employment. TheMarket

shares will be transferred to the executives by

The Warehouse Limited (TWL), being the only

other shareholder in TheMarket. Under the

incentive scheme, TWL has also previously
granted the executives put options exercisable

over:

• a proportion of their Tranche 2 TheMarket

shares equal to their tax obligations in

respect of Tranche 1 and Tranche 2, within

4 weeks of their transfer (subject to

extension by agreement or due to regulatory

requirements);

• their entire TheMarket shareholding, at any

time within 3 years after 31 March 2021 or

(using the volume weighted average market

price of WHS shares on NZX for the 10

business days immediately preceding the

caps on the number of WHS shares to be
