PROXY FORM FOR THIRD AGE HEALTH SERVICES LIMITED’S ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Third Age Health Services Limited (Third Age Health) will be held and online, using the Company’s

share registrar’s virtual meeting platform at www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/tah22 on Tuesday, 19 July 2022, at 4pm. Shareholders who attend

online will require your CSN/Holder Number for verification purposes.


If you do not plan to attend the meeting online but wish to appoint a proxy you can do so online by going to

https://investorcentre.linkmarketservices.co.nz/voting/TAH or by scanning the QR code above with your smartphone. You will require your

CSN/Holder number and FIN to securely access the website. A corporation may appoint a person to attend and vote virtually at the meeting as

its representative in the same manner as that in which it could appoint a proxy.

Alternatively, please complete the reverse of this form and return the form intact to Link Market Services by no later than 4pm (New Zealand

time) Sunday, 17 July 2022. You can still attend the meeting virtually if you appoint a proxy but you will not be able to vote on the resolutions.


Appointment of proxy

The Chairman of the meeting is willing to act as a proxy for any shareholder who wishes to appoint him. To appoint the Chairman of the

meeting as your proxy, simply tick the box allocated next to “The Chairman of the meeting”, or to appoint another person as your proxy write

the full name of such other person (as applicable) in the space allocated on this proxy form. The Chairman will vote according to your

instructions. If the Chairman is not instructed how to vote, he will vote in favour of all resolutions. Your proxy need not also be a shareholder.

If, in appointing a proxy, you do not name a person as your proxy but otherwise complete this proxy form in full, it will be deemed to be a postal

vote.



Voting of your holding

Direct your proxy how to vote by making the appropriate election in respect of each resolution. If you do not tick any box for a particular

resolution, then the proxy will vote or abstain from voting as he or she sees fit. If you make more than one election in respect of a resolution

your vote will be invalid on that resolution. If you tick the ‘Discretion’ box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy to decide how

to vote on that resolution on your behalf. If you tick the ‘Abstain’ box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy not to vote on that

resolution. If a proxy does not vote on your behalf on a resolution, your votes will not be counted when calculating the majority of that

resolution. A person appointed as a proxy will not be able to vote on amendments or resolutions from the floor of meeting unless the

'Discretion' box has been ticked.



Postal Vote

As a shareholder entitled to vote at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, you are entitled to vote by postal vote. You can cast your postal vote

online or by one of the other methods listed 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, but your proxy may still

attend the meeting on your behalf. If this form is returned duly signed by a shareholder with voting instructions completed but without indicating

that it is a postal vote or proxy has been appointed, it will be deemed to be a postal vote.



Signing instructions for proxy forms

The Board considers John to be an independent director.

A short biography for John is below:

Resolution C: Authorise the directors’ fee pool

This resolution is put to shareholders in accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.11.1 and relates to the maximum aggregate fees

payable to all non-executive directors. At present, the maximum fee pool for non-executive directors is $185,000 per

annum. The pool was last fixed, following a resolution of ordinary shareholders on 4 February 2021 at $150,000 per annum

and was applied to four directors. The pool has increased since then with the appointment of one director in accordance

with NZX Listing Rule 2.11.3. Following the resignation notice of Diane Budres on 1 July 2022, effective on 19 July 2022,

under Listing Rule 2.11.1, the pool would be expected to decrease to $150,000.

However, it is proposed to fix the total pool of directors’ fees at $180,000 (plus GST, if any). The current pool of $185,000

is payable as directors’ fees for Board members and if applicable to those Board members who are appointed to the Audit

Committee (see table below for breakdown).

The new fee pool has been proposed to accommodate proposed fee changes following the announcement made through

the NZX on 30 May 2022 that John Fernandes is to be appointed as Board Chair and Wayne William is to be appointed as

Audit Committee Chair. As a result, it is proposed that the Board fee for John Fernandes be increased from $35,000 to

$60,000 following his appointment as Board Chair, and the Audit Committee fee paid to Wayne Williams be increased from

$2,500 to $10,000 following his appointment as Audit Committee Chair. The Audit Committee fee payable to John

Fernandes, who is stepping down as Audit Committee Chair will decrease from $5,000 to $2,500. All fees are stated net of

GST.

Reasons to set the fee pool at $180,000

The Company is seeking the approval of shareholders to fix the maximum fee pool for non-executive directors for the

following reasons:

1. Increases are only proposed for the positions of Board Chair and Audit Committee Chair and reflects the workload and

time commitment associated. Each position pays a pivotal role in driving Company governance including preparation

and attendance at meetings, meeting with key shareholders, stakeholders and staff. During the year ended 31 March

2022 there were 9 board meeting including meetings to approve business proposals and plans, budgets and the

release of results. There were 3 Audit Committee meetings.

2. The Company continues to grow in complexity with a consequent increasing workloads. Directors’ workloads will

increase with more legislative and regulatory changes being proposed, as well as stakeholders’ expectations increasing

to consider and monitor a broader range of non-financial measures together with governing through the ongoing

uncertainties of the macroeconomic environment.

The Board considers, in light of the realities of the increased workloads and responsibilities undertaken by the Chair of the

Board and Chair of the Audit Committee, that the proposed fee pool is fair and reflective of market conditions. The

directors recommend that shareholders vote to approve this resolution.


Disqualified persons

Non-executive directors and their Associated Persons who receive a payment and benefit in respect of this matter (as that

term is defined in the NZX Listing Rules) are prohibited from casting their own shareholding votes or discretionary proxy

votes on this resolution at the Annual Meeting, and any such votes will be disregarded by the Company.


This disqualification applies to John Fernandes who is being appointed as the Board Chair and Wayne Williams who is being

appointed as Audit Committee Chair.

Resolution D: Auditor's remuneration

EY is automatically reappointed auditor under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. This resolution authorises the

directors to fix the fees and expenses of the auditor as required by section 207S of the Companies Act 1993.

The Board of Third Age Health unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
