Annual Meeting in person at Ellerslie. Shareholders may also choose to participate in the Annual
Meeting online via the Computershare Meeting Platform https://meetnow.global/nz. However, if
there exists uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, or if Government restrictions mean
that an in-person meeting cannot take place, the Company will need to move to a virtual only
Annual Meeting. In those circumstances, the Company will provide shareholders with as much
notice as is reasonably practical by way of an announcement to the NZX and details posted on
the Company’s website.

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 as they otherwise would, by following the

Appointment of Proxy
As a shareholder you may attend the meeting and vote, or you may appoint a
proxy to attend the meeting and vote on your behalf. A proxy can be any person
of the shareholder’s choice and does not have to be a shareholder. The Chair, or
any other Director, is willing to act as a proxy for any shareholder who wishes to
appoint him or her for that purpose. Any undirected votes in respect of a resolu-
tion, where the Chair or any other Director is appointed proxy, will be voted in
favour of the relevant resolution, other than when he or she is prohibited from
voting on that resolution. To appoint a proxy, please enter the name of your proxy
in the space allocated in ‘Step 1’ overleaf of this form.
If you do not name a person as your proxy, but otherwise complete the
proxy form in full, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the
Chair will be appointed your proxy and will vote in accordance with your
express direction (subject to any voting prohibitions), and any discretion
granted on how to vote will be voted in favour of the relevant resolution.
Voting of your holding
Direct your proxy how to vote or give the proxy discretion as to how to vote on
the resolutions by completing FOR, AGAINST, ABSTAIN or PROXY DISCRETION
box on ‘Step 2’ overleaf. If the form is returned without a direction as to how the
proxy shall act on a resolution the proxy will exercise the proxy’s discretion as to
whether to vote and, if so, how.
