being eligible, offers himself for election by shareholders at this
meeting. Steven Joyce is an independent Director. A brief biography

The Winton Land Limited (“Company”) Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held at the offices of Link Market Services, Level 30 PwC Tower, 15
Customs Street West, Auckland and online at www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/win23, on Wednesday, 25 October 2023 commencing at 12pm. If you will attend

If you wish to be represented by proxy, please complete and return this form (in accordance with the lodgement instructions above) to the Company’s
share registry, Link Market Services Limited, by no later than 12pm, Monday 23 October 2023. You can also appoint your proxy online by going to
vote.linkmarketservices.com/WIN or by scanning the QR code above with your smartphone.
Appointment of proxy
If you are a shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, you are entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of you. This proxy
form may be completed online, mailed, delivered, or scanned and emailed in accordance with the instructions above. A proxy need not be a shareholder
of the Company. A company may appoint a person to attend and vote at the meeting as its representative in the same manner as a proxy is appointed. If
you wish, you can appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy. If you return this Proxy Form without appointing a proxy, the Chair of the meeting will
vote in accordance with your express instructions.
Voting of your holding
Direct your proxy how to vote by making the appropriate election in respect of each resolution. If you elect “discretion” on any resolution, you are directing
your proxy or representative to decide how to vote on that resolution on your behalf. If you elect the “abstain” box on any resolution, you are directing your
proxy or representative not to vote on that resolution. If you make more than one election in respect of a resolution your vote will be invalid on that
resolution. Please note that your proxy will not be able to vote at the Annual Meeting unless you have provided a voting direction or discretion. If the Chair
of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy but you have not directed the Chair how to vote on a particular resolution, the Chair intends to vote your shares
in favour of all the Resolutions.
Postal Vote
As a shareholder entitled to vote at the Annual 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.
