by the NZX Listing Rules, ASX Listing Rules, and Tower’s constitution. If you have ticked the “Proxy’s Discretion” box and

your named Proxy does not attend the meeting or you have not named a Proxy (but otherwise completed your Proxy

Form in full), the Chair of the meeting will act as your Proxy.

To be valid, a completed Proxy Form (and any power of attorney under which it is signed) must be deposited with

Computershare no later than 10:00am (NZT) 26 February 2023.
