Explanatory Notes
These notes form part of the notice of meeting.
The resolutions to be voted on at the annual meeting are ordinary resolutions. This means that in order to be
approved, at least 50% of the shareholders entitled to vote and voting (either in person or by proxy) must vote
in favour of the resolution. There are no restrictions on any shareholder that prevent them from exercising
their vote on any of the resolutions being considered at the meeting.
Ordinary Resolution A: Auditor's remuneration
This resolution authorises the directors to fix the fees and expenses of UHY Haines Norton as auditor as
required by section 207S of the Companies Act 1993.
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of this resolution.
Ordinary Resolution B: Election of Warren William Flaunty
The Board does not support this nomination for election and recommends that shareholders vote against this
resolution.
Warren Flaunty has been nominated for election as a Director under NZX listing rule 2.3.2
The following short biography for Warren has been provided:
Warren has been involved in healthcare for his whole working life. A Pharmacist by profession for over 50 years
he has owned and operated three pharmacies. Warren has become a major shareholder of TAH through on-
market purchases for the Flaunty Family Trust. He has been involved in local government for over 40 years; an
elected director of Waitemata District Health Board for 21 years; Trustee West Auckland Hospice 12 years;
Introduced the Graseby Pump into NZ in 1998 for use in terminal care; Chairman WDHB Three Harbours Health
Foundation 21 years; Member Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal 12 years; Justice of the Peace – 32
years; Elected trustee Waitakere Licensing Trust 37 years; and currently Chairman of The Trusts Community
Foundation Limited – a not-for-profit class 4 gaming foundation. Additionally, Warren was awarded a Queen’s
Service Medal (QSM) for community service in 2004.
Our board currently consists of four directors. As part of our succession planning, one position will become
vacant at the end of this year when Norah Barlow intends to step down. As announced to the market, the
board has selected Steffan Crausaz to join as an independent director when Norah steps down. Steffan’s
extensive experience, particularly in primary care as CEO of Tāmaki Health, and as a trained pharmacist, brings
a unique blend of clinical experience and healthcare management to the board. His appointment will be put up
for ratification by shareholders at the 2024 AGM.
We are resolutely driving what the board considers to be substantial improvements to return on capital and
profitability and welcome input from any shareholders who have constructive suggestions on how to drive
profit growth faster and the selection of future independent directors.
As we (with four directors and our current fee pool) are already focused on improving profitability, we would
prefer not to increase our director related expenses at all. For the board to endorse an increase in the number
of directors (and the associated fee pool for adding to our size) would be a case of doing one thing and saying
the other.
It is the board’s view that Warren Flaunty would not be classed as an independent director.
Therefore, we believe it is in the best interests of the company and all shareholders to maintain the current
succession plan and board structure.

PROXY FORM FOR THIRD AGE HEALTH SERVICES LIMITED’S ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Third Age Health Services Limited (Third Age Health) will be held in person at ANZ Room 30.03, Level
30, 23 Albert Street, Auckland, and online, on Tuesday, 15 August 2023, at 2pm. Shareholders who attend online will require your CSN/Holder
Number for verification purposes.
If you do not plan to attend the meeting in person but wish to appoint a proxy you can do so online by going to
https://investorcentre.linkmarketservices.co.nz/voting/TAH or by scanning the QR code above with your smartphone. You will require your
CSN/Holder number and FIN to securely access the website. A corporation may appoint a person to attend and vote virtually at the meeting as
its representative in the same manner as that in which it could appoint a proxy.
Alternatively, please complete the reverse of this form and return the form intact to Link Market Services by no later than 2pm (New Zealand
time) Sunday, 13 August 2023. You can still attend the meeting if you appoint a proxy but you will invalidate the proxy appointment and must
vote on the resolutions yourself.
Appointment of proxy
The Chairman of the meeting is willing to act as a proxy for any shareholder who wishes to appoint him. To appoint the Chairman of the
meeting as your proxy, simply tick the box allocated next to “The Chairman of the meeting”, or to appoint another person as your proxy write
the full name of such other person (as applicable) in the space allocated on this proxy form. The Chairman will vote according to your
instructions. If the Chairman is not instructed how to vote, he will vote at his discretion. Your proxy need not also be a shareholder. If, in
appointing a proxy, you do not name a person as your proxy but otherwise complete this proxy form in full, it will be deemed to be a postal
vote.
Voting of your holding
Direct your proxy how to vote by making the appropriate election in respect of each resolution. If you do not tick any box for a particular
resolution, then the proxy will vote or abstain from voting as he or she sees fit. If you make more than one election in respect of a resolution
your vote will be invalid on that resolution. If you tick the ‘Discretion’ box for a particular resolution, or if you do not provide any directions on
how to vote on a resolution, you are directing your proxy to decide how to vote on that resolution on your behalf. If you tick the ‘Abstain’ box for
a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy not to vote on that resolution. If a proxy does not vote on your behalf on a resolution, your
votes will not be counted when calculating the majority of that resolution. A person appointed as a proxy will not be able to vote on
amendments or resolutions from the floor of meeting unless the 'Discretion' box has been ticked.
Postal Vote
As a shareholder entitled to vote at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, you are entitled to vote by postal vote. You can cast your postal vote
online or by one of the other methods listed above. If you return your postal vote without indicating how you wish to vote, or your indication on
how to vote is unclear, on any resolution, you will be deemed to have abstained from voting on that resolution. If you complete the postal vote
section and also appoint a proxy, then your postal vote will be cast and your proxy appointment will not be counted, but your proxy may still
attend the meeting on your behalf. If this form is returned duly signed by a shareholder with voting instructions completed but without indicating
that it is a postal vote or proxy has been appointed, it will be deemed to be a postal vote.
Signing instructions for proxy forms
Individual - where the holding is in one name, the shareholder must sign this proxy form.
Joint Holding - where the holding is in more than one name, this proxy form may be signed by, or on behalf of, the joint shareholders (or their
duly authorised attorney).
