ONLINE PARTICIPATION DETAILS
Provided COVID-19 restrictions do not prevent the Company from being able to hold the Annual

Meeting in person on the Meeting Date, shareholders will be able to attend and participate in the

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.

In order to participate remotely, shareholders should visit https://meetnow.global/nz on their

desktop or mobile device and click “Go” under the Marlin meeting and then click “JOIN MEETING

Computershare on 0800 650 034 or +64 9 488 8777 (outside of NZ) between 8.30am and

5.00pm (NZ time) Monday to Friday.

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 as they otherwise would, by following the

instructions on the proxy form and this Notice of Meeting.

Please note that not all questions may be able to be answered during the meeting. In this case,

questions will be followed up after the meeting.

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.

Attending the Meeting

All shareholders will have the option to attend, vote and participate in the Annual

Shareholder Meeting either in person or, alternatively, online via an internet

connection using a laptop, tablet or smartphone. For further details see the

Virtual Meeting Guide enclosed.
