Procedural Notes
and Voting
Due to concerns about our ability to host an in-person meeting
under uncertain COVID-19 alert levels and to ensure the health
and safety of our shareholders and staff, we have decided
that the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting will be a virtual only
meeting this year. All shareholders will have the opportunity to
attend, participate, vote, and ask questions in the 2021 Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting via our share registrar’s online platform.
The Annual Shareholders’ Meeting will be accessible on both
desktop and mobile devices.
How to attend the meeting
Shareholders can attend the meeting virtually through the
Computershare Investor Services Limited meeting platform
https://meetnow.global/nz.
To access the meeting, click ‘Go’ under the PGG Wrightson
Limited meeting and then click ‘JOIN MEETING NOW’. By using
the meeting platform, you will be able to watch the meeting,
vote and ask questions online using your smartphone, tablet or
desktop device. Please refer to the Virtual Meeting Guide for more

process, please contact Computershare Investor Services Limited
on +64 9 488 8777 between 8.30am and 5.00pm Monday to Friday.
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 or send a postal vote, as
they otherwise would, by following the instructions on the proxy
and voting form and this Notice of Annual Shareholders’ 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

Shareholders will require their CSN/Securityholder Number,
which can be found on their proxy and voting form, for verification
purposes.

The resolutions required for item D (Resolutions 1, 2, and 3) are
ordinary resolutions, requiring a simple majority of the votes of
those shareholders entitled to vote and voting on the resolutions.
