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.

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.

of the Audit Committee and the proposed changes:

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.
