NOTICE OF

ANNUAL MEETING

Notice is hereby given that the 2021 Annual Meeting of shareholders of

Bremworth Limited will be held online via Computershare’s online meeting

platform at https://meetnow.global/NZ on Thursday, 25 November 2021,

commencing at 2.00 pm ("Notice of Meeting").

DEAR SHAREHOLDER
On behalf of the Board of Directors ("Board"), I am

pleased to invite you to the 2021 Annual Meeting

("Annual Meeting") of shareholders of Bremworth

Limited ("Company") to be held online

at https://meetnow.global/NZ on Thursday,

25 November 2021, commencing at 2.00 pm.

We are holding the Annual Meeting online as a result of

the ongoing uncertainty relating to COVID-19 and the

importance of keeping our shareholders and our people

safe in the current environment.

This decision has not been taken lightly as we appreciate

how important it is for the directors to be able to meet

with shareholders in person. However, after careful

consideration, we have decided that the risk of the virus

to our community means that it is only appropriate to

again hold the Annual Meeting online this year.

Shareholders who have not participated in an online

meeting will find the notes on how to participate in

virtual meetings on page 5 useful.

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.

The items of business to be dealt with at the Annual

Meeting are set out below, and I refer you to the

procedural notes on pages 6 and 7 for further detail.

ITEMS OF BUSINESS

A. Chairman’s address

B. Chief Executive Officer’s address

C. Shareholder questions and discussion

of 2021 annual report

D. Ordinary resolutions

To consider and, if thought fit, to pass the following

ordinary resolutions (which require the approval of

a simple majority of the votes of those shareholders

entitled to vote and voting on the resolution):

Resolution 1 – Re-election of George Adams:

That George Adams, who retires and who is eligible for

re-election, be re-elected as a director of the Company.

See also Explanatory Note 1.

Resolution 2 – Auditor’s remuneration:

That the directors be authorised to fix the remuneration

of the auditor. See also Explanatory Note 2.

EXPLANATORY
NOTES

The purpose of these explanatory notes ("Explanatory Notes")

is to provide shareholders with information on the matters

to be considered at the Annual Meeting.

George Adams

DipFSA(Hons), FCA, CFInstD

Independent Chairman of the Board

Term of office

Appointed as a director on 1 June 2018

Last elected 30 October 2018 Annual Meeting

Board Committees

Nomination (Chairman), Audit and Remuneration

Profile

George has been an independent director of the Company

since June 2018.

He was appointed Chairman of the Board and Chairman

of the Board’s Nomination Committee in July 2020 and is

also a member of the Board’s Audit and Remuneration

Committees.

George brings outstanding commercial and governance

experience from more than 25 years of international

business experience in the fast-moving consumer goods

and telecommunications industries, as well as a strong

background in occupational health and safety.

George was previously Managing Director of Coca-Cola

Amatil New Zealand and Fiji, a role he held for 10 years.

During this time, George also chaired the New Zealand

Food and Grocery Council. Prior to moving to New Zealand

in 2003, George was Finance Director of British Telecom

Northern Ireland and Group Finance Director of

Dublin-based bottling company Molino Beverages.

Pursuant to NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, a director must not

hold office (without re-election) past the third annual

meeting following the director's appointment or three

years, whichever is longer. A retiring director is eligible

for re-election. Accordingly, George Adams must retire.

The other directors unanimously support the re-election

of George Adams as a director.

The Board has determined that George will continue to be

an independent director.

1. ORDINARY RESOLUTION 1:

Re-election of George Adams

NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 2021

2

The Companies Act 1993 requires the Company to appoint
an auditor and provides that the fees and expenses of an

auditor appointed at an annual meeting can be fixed in the

manner determined at that meeting.

In May 2021, following a formal request for proposal

process for the provision of external audit services, the

Company appointed PricewaterhouseCoopers (“PwC”) as

external auditor for the financial year ending 30 June 2021.

Pursuant to section 207T of the Companies Act 1993, PwC

is automatically reappointed as external auditor for the

financial year ending 30 June 2022 at the Annual Meeting.

Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 provides that the

remuneration of the auditor is to be fixed in such a manner

as the Company determines at the Annual Meeting.

The Board unanimously recommends that, consistent with

commercial practice, the auditor’s remuneration should be

fixed by the directors.

Authority for the directors to fix the remuneration of the

auditors is given by way of resolution at each annual

meeting of shareholders of the Company.

2. ORDINARY RESOLUTION 2:

Auditor's remuneration

3

Grant Biel B.E. (Mech.)
The decision by Grant Biel to not offer himself for re-

election at the Annual Meeting means that he will retire

as a director at the conclusion of the Annual Meeting.

The Board takes this opportunity to thank, on behalf of

shareholders, management and staff, Grant for his

contribution to the Board and the Company.

The Company owes Grant a debt of gratitude for his

services over a period spanning almost four decades.

Alongside co-founder, Tony Timpson, Grant created

Bremworth and has helped guide its progression from

a tin shed operation to be New Zealand’s leading carpet

manufacturer today.

Grant will continue his association with Bremworth as the

Company’s first ever Director Emeritus, a position he will

hold for life. The honorary appointment is in recognition of

the pivotal role Grant has played in our history.

so that the results will be determined on the basis of one

vote per share held.

No shareholder is prohibited from voting on the resolutions

and all shareholders will vote together as one class.

PERSONS ENTITLED

TO VOTE

For the purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting, only

those shareholders registered as such as at 5.00 pm on

Tuesday, 23 November 2021 shall be entitled to attend and

exercise the right to vote at the Annual Meeting and only

the shares registered in those shareholders’ names at that

the Company. A shareholder may appoint the Chairman of

the Annual Meeting or any other director as his or her proxy

if he or she wishes.

In addition, where a shareholder does not name a person as

their proxy but otherwise completes the proxy and postal

voting form in full, or where a shareholder's named proxy

does not attend the Annual Meeting, the Chairman of the

Annual Meeting will act as that shareholder's proxy and will

vote in accordance with that shareholder's express

direction and, if expressly granted a discretion on how to

vote, will vote in favour of all resolutions, except that the

Chairman will abstain from voting discretionary proxies in

respect of his own re-election.

To appoint a proxy, shareholders should complete the

relevant sections of the proxy and postal voting form

accompanying this Notice of Meeting which must be

deposited with the Company using one of the methods

outlined on the proxy and postal voting form by 2.00 pm

on Tuesday, 23 November 2021 (being 48 hours before the
