PROCEDURAL NOTES


Entitlement to vote

You are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting if you have a shareholding at 5.00pm on Friday 21 May 2021 (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 "proxy 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 1.00pm on Sunday 23 May 2021 (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


All shareholders will have the opportunity to attend and participate in the 2021 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 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 prior to the Annual Meeting.

Shareholders will require the meeting ID – which is 333-206-073– as well as their CSN/Shareholder Number, which can

be found on their proxy form, for verification purposes.
