Issue of Share Rights

21 October 2022

In accordance with Listing Rule 3.18.1, the Meridian Board advises that it has decided to issue share rights
to certain employees of Meridian in connection with the Executive LTI Scheme (
Scheme
). Each share
right will, upon vesting and exercise of the right, entitle the holder to one ordinary share in the Company
(
Share
), plus an additional number of Shares equal to the value of gross cash dividends per Share which
would have been paid to a New Zealand tax resident who held a Share for the duration of the vesting
period, calculated using a 10-day volume weighted average price.

The issue of share rights is expected to occur on 2 November 2022.
