The Annual Meeting of The a2 Milk Company Limited (“a2MC” or the “Company”) will be held on Wednesday, 17 November 2021 at

11:00am New Zealand Daylight Time. The Annual Meeting will be held online (virtually) rather than at a physical location. Shareholders

are able to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting online via the Link Market Services Virtual Annual Meeting platform, at

http://www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/a2MC21. More information regarding virtual attendance and voting at the virtual Annual Meeting is available

in the Virtual Annual Meeting Online Portal Guide which will be filed on the ASX and NZX market announcement platforms and be available

on the Company’s website at https://thea2milkcompany.com/market-announcements/.


If you propose NOT to attend the virtual Annual Meeting but wish to vote by postal vote or appoint a proxy please complete and return all pages

of this form to Link Market Services no later than 11:00am New Zealand Daylight Time on Monday, 15 November 2021 (being 48 hours

before the commencement of the Annual Meeting). Proxy appointment or Postal Voting can also be completed online. Please read the

instructions below before completing this form. Please do not appoint a proxy if you are voting by postal vote.


POSTAL VOTE


As a shareholder entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, you are

entitled to vote by postal vote. You can cast your postal vote online

or by one of the other methods noted above. If you return your

postal vote without indicating how you wish to vote, or your

indication on how to vote is unclear, on any resolution, you will be

deemed to have abstained from voting on that resolution. If you

complete the postal vote section and also appoint a proxy, then

your postal vote will be cast, and your proxy appointment will not

be counted. If this form is returned duly signed by a shareholder

with voting instructions completed but without indicating that it is a

postal vote or a proxy appointment, it will be deemed to be a postal

vote.


APPOINTMENT OF PROXY


A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting is

entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting

instead of him/her. A proxy need not be a shareholder of a2MC.

Any corporation that is a shareholder of a2MC may appoint a

person as its representative to attend the meeting and vote on its

behalf, in the same manner as that in which it could appoint a proxy.


Appointing the Chair of the Meeting or a director


as your

proxy


If you wish, you may appoint the Chair of the Annual Meeting as

your proxy. To do so, please write “Chair of the Meeting” on the line

following the words “hereby appoint” in the section on the next page

entitled “appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf”. The Chair will vote

according to your instructions. If the Chair is not instructed how to

vote, he intends to vote in favour of each resolution. If you return

this form without directing the proxy how to vote on any particular

resolution, the proxy will exercise the proxy’s discretion as to

whether to vote and, if so, how to vote.


ATTENDING THE MEETING


You can still attend the meeting online, even if you have cast a

postal vote or appointed a proxy, although you will not be able to

vote in either of those cases.

2. How to ask a question

Note: Only shareholders are eligible to ask questions.

You will only be able to ask a question after

you have registered to vote. If you would

like to ask a question, click on the ‘Ask a

Question’ box either at the top or bottom

of the webpage.

The ‘Ask a Question’ box will then pop up with two

sections for completion.

In the ‘Regarding’ section click on the drop down

arrow and select one of the following categories:

• General Business

• Resolution 1

• Resolution 2

• Resolution 3

• Resolution 4

• Resolution 5

• Resolution 6

After you have selected your question category, click in

the ‘Question’ section and type your question.

When you are ready to submit your question - click

the blue ‘Submit Question’ button. This will send the

question to the Management/Board.

Note that not all questions are guaranteed to be

answered during the Annual General Meeting, but we

will do our best to address your concerns.

Once you have asked a question a ‘View Questions’

box will appear.

At any point you can click on ‘View Questions’ and

see all the questions you have submitted. Only you can

see the questions you have asked.

Note: You can submit your questions by this method

one hour before the meeting begins, if you have

registered to vote. You can continue to submit

questions up until the close of voting.

If your question has been answered and you would

like to exercise your right of reply, you can do so by

submitting another question.
