Dear Shareholder
FREIGHTWAYS LIMITED - DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN

The Board will advise shareholders of the price of shares to be issued under the Plan in respect of the

Choice 1
Participate in the Plan and reinvest your dividends in further Freightways
Shares
Participation Notice
You should complete a Participation Notice, in
accordance with the instructions on that notice, if
you wish to reinvest the net proceeds of cash
dividends payable or credited on all or some of your
Shares, by acquiring further Shares. The Board has
resolved that participation notices provided in
relation to the plan previously will cease to be of any
effect. If you have previously made an election
under a participation notice, you will need to
complete a new Participation Notice.
If you elect to participate in the Plan, promptly after
each dividend payment date you will be sent a
statement detailing your dividend entitlement, the
number of additional Shares acquired by you under
the Plan and the per-share issue price of each
additional Share which is acquired by you.
The Participation Notice must be delivered to the
Share Registrar either at the address on page 9 or
by scanning it to drp@computershare.co.nz.
Online Participation Notices can be completed by
visiting the website of the Share Registrar,
Computershare Investor Services
www.investorcentre.com/nz. Once you have logged
in, select “My Profile”, then “Reinvestment Plans”
from the lefthand menu. Select Freightways
Limited in the holding line and “Apply” to select your
participation level.
New Zealand registered holders will need their
CSN/Holder number and Authorisation Code (FIN) to
complete the investor validation process if they do
not already have an Investor Centre account.
Level of participation
You can opt for full or partial participation in the
Plan in which all or a portion of the Shares
registered in your name will participate in the Plan.
Full participation
If you tick the full participation box in the
Participation Notice, your participation in the Plan
will cover all Shares registered in your name from
time to time, including your current shareholding
and any future Shares you acquire or that are
allocated to you under the Plan (unless you vary
your participation by providing notice to the Share
Registrar or you sell your total shareholding).
Partial participation
If you insert a number in the partial participation
section of the Participation Notice, this will be
treated as partial participation for the number of
Shares that you insert in the Participation Notice.
Partial participation in the Plan means that the
Terms and Conditions of the Plan will apply, both
now and in the future, but only to the number of
Shares nominated by you now (unless you vary the
number of Participating Shares by providing notice
to the Share Registrar or you sell your total
shareholding).
Variation or termination of participation
If, at a later date, you decide that you wish to vary
your participation in the Plan, simply complete and
deliver an updated Participation Notice to the Share
Registrar at the address on page 9.
If, at a later date, you wish to terminate your
participation in the Plan, you can do so online at
www.investorcentre.com/nz or by completing a
Cancellation Form (available online or from the
Share Registrar upon request).

Choice 2
Continue to receive dividends in cash
If you do nothing, you will continue to receive,
automatically by direct credit, the net proceeds of any
cash dividends on your Shares that do not participate
in the Plan. There will be no reinvestment of those
proceeds.
Accordingly, unless you wish to apply for or vary your
participation in the Plan, you do not need to complete
a Participation Notice.
If, at a later date, you decide you do wish to
participate in the Plan, simply complete the
Participation Notice in accordance with the
instructions under Choice 1.
If you need to update your direct credit bank account
for the payment of any dividends, you can do so online
at www.investorcentre.com/nz under ‘My Profile’.
You will need your CSN/Holder number and
Authorisation Code (
FIN) to complete the investor
validation process if you do not already have an
account.
You will still receive a dividend statement by mail or
email advising the amount credited. Direct crediting is
a more secure and immediate way of receiving your
dividend.

the Shares of a Shareholder in accordance with Freightways’ Constitution or other

will need to complete a new Participation Notice.
Timing of participation
Following receipt of your Participation Notice, your participation in the Plan will commence on and

the net proceeds of cash dividends payable or credited will commence on that
Election Date, otherwise participation will commence on the first Election Date
after receipt, subject to any termination of the Plan becoming effective before
then.
3.2 Holder Number and Common Shareholder Number (CSN): A separate Participation
Notice must be given by a Shareholder in respect of each holding of Shares identified by
a separate Holder Number or CSN.
3.3 Time when Participation Effective: Participation will be effective as to net proceeds of cash

10
4.1 Formula for Calculation of Additional Shares: The number of Additional Shares to be
acquired by a Participant in return for a cash dividend will be calculated in accordance
with the following formula:
N =
PS x D
Price
Where:
N = is the number of Additional Shares that you will receive.
PS is the number of Participating Shares.
D is the net proceeds per Share from Freightways (expressed in cents and decimals of
cents, including any supplementary dividends in respect of Participating Shares payable
to non-resident Shareholders but excluding any tax credits and after deduction of any
resident and non-resident withholding (or other) taxes, if any) of cash dividends payable
or credited on that Share that would otherwise have been paid to a Shareholder in cash if
the Shareholder had not elected to participate in the Plan.
Price is the volume weighted average sale price in New Zealand dollars (expressed in
cents and decimals of cents) for a Share calculated on all price setting trades of Shares
which took place through the NZX Main Board over a period of five trading days
immediately following the Record Date less a discount (if any) as determined at the
discretion of the Board from time to time. If no sales of Shares occur during those five
trading days, then the average of the volume weighted average sale price will be deemed
to be the sale price for a Share on the last price setting trade of Shares which took place
after such trading days as determined by NZX.
Any volume weighted average sale price so determined may be reasonably adjusted by
Freightways to allow for any bonus issue or dividend or other distribution expectation. If,
in the opinion of the Board, any exceptional or unusual circumstances have artificially
affected the volume weighted average sale price so determined, Freightways may make
such adjustment to that sale price as it considers reasonable. The determination of the
price of the Additional Shares by the Board, or by some other person nominated by the
Board, will be binding on all Shareholders with Participating Shares.
4.2 Fractional Shares:
(a)Where the number of Additional Shares to be acquired by a Participant
calculated under clause 4.1 is not a whole number, the number of Additional
Shares acquired by that Participant will be rounded (up or down, as applicable)
to the nearest whole number except that if the fraction is one half, the number
of Shares issued or transferred will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
4.ADDITIONAL SHARE ENTITLEMENT
11
(b)Any net proceeds per Share (being those described in the definition of “D” on in
clause 4.1) that are not applied to acquire a part of an additional Share because
of the operation of clause 4.2(a) above shall be retained by Freightways for its
sole benefit and will not be refunded or paid to a Participant nor held by
Freightways or the Share Registrar on behalf of a Participant.
4.3 Share Price Information Publicly Available: Freightways will ensure that, at the time the
price for the Additional Shares is set under clause
4.1, it will have no information that is
not publicly available that would, or would be likely to, have a material adverse effect on
the realisable price of the Shares if the information was publicly available.
4.4 Compliance with Laws, NZX Listing Rules and Constitution:
(a)The Plan will not operate in relation to a dividend to the extent that the allotment,
issue or transfer of Additional Shares under the Plan would breach any
applicable law, the NZX Listing Rules or any provision of the Constitution.
(b)If and to the extent that the Plan does not operate for such reason in respect
of
a
Participant’s Participating Shares, the relevant dividend on Participating
Shares will, until such time as the issue is resolved, be paid or distributed to tha
t
P
articipant in the same manner as to Shareholders not participating in the Plan.
5.OPERATION OF THE PLAN
5.1 Issue or transfer of Additional Shares: Freightways will, on the day that a Participant
w
ould otherwise have been paid a dividend, issue or transfer the Additional Shares to that
Participant in accordance with clause

to Participants under the Plan will be acquired on the terms set out in this Plan, and
subject to termination, suspension and modification set out in clause
8.1, will not be

Additional Shares. The Additional Shares issued or transferred to Participants under the
Plan will, from the date of acquisition, rank equally in all respects with each other and
with all other Shares on issue as at that date.
6.SOURCE OF ADDITIONAL SHARES
6.1 Additional Shares to be acquired by Participants under the Plan may, at the Board’s
discretion, be:
(a)new Shares issued by Freightways;

12
(c)any combination of (a) and (b) above.

9.1 Dispositions where Partial Participation: Where a Participant in respect of some but not
all its Shares, disposes of some of its Shares then, unless the Participant notifies
Freightways otherwise in writing:
(a)the Shares disposed of will be the Participant’s Non-Participating Shares; and
(b)if the number of Shares disposed of is greater than the number of th

10.TAXATION
10.1 New Zealand and Australian tax: For New Zealand and Australian tax purposes,
Shareholders who reinvest the net proceeds of their cash dividends to acquire Additional
Shares via participation in the Plan should be taxed in the same way as if they had not

taxable dividend income of the same amount that they would have derived had they not
participated.
10.2 General summary only: The taxation summary above is based on New Zealand and
A
ustralian taxation laws as at the date of this Offer Document and is, of necessity, general.
It does not take into account the circumstances of individual Shareholders and the specific
tax consequences to them of participation or non-participation in the Plan, which may vary
considerably. Shareholders (New Zealand, Australian and non-resident Shareholders)
should not rely on this general summary but should seek their own tax advice.
Freightways does not accept any responsibility for the financial or taxation effects of a
Shareholder’s participation or non- participation in the Plan.
15
11.1 No charges or brokerage: There are no charges for participation or withdrawal from the

Shares which may be issued under the Plan on the NZX Main Board. It is expected that
such Additional Shares will be quoted on the NZX Main Board on the completion of
allotment procedures. However, NZX accepts no responsibility for any statement in this
Offer Document.
13.Information for Australian Shareholders
13.1 The offer of Shares under the Plan does not require disclosure for the purposes of chapter
6D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) as Freightways is relying on the exemption under
section 708(13) of the

cooling-off regime that applies in respect of the issue of Shares under the Plan. This Offer
