exercise your right to vote. Namely, by voting

online in advance of the meeting, attending the

meeting in person or via the Online Meeting

Platform and voting during the meeting or by

appointing a proxy to attend virtually and vote

in your place. A voting/proxy form is enclosed

with this notice of meeting and contains

additional details around voting and appointing

a proxy. All voting at the Annual Meeting will be

by poll, as required under the NZX Listing Rules.

• The proxy does not need to be a
shareholder.

• You may direct your proxy how to vote or

give your proxy discretion to vote as they

see fit. If you wish to give your proxy

that discretion, you should mark the

appropriate box online or on the voting/

proxy form. If you do not mark any

appropriate box online or on the voting/

proxy form then your proxy may vote or

abstain from voting as they see fit.

• The Chair of the meeting, or any other

director, is willing to act as proxy. If

you appoint the Chair of the meeting

as proxy but do not direct the Chair

how to vote on a particular resolution

then the Chair of the meeting will vote

your shares in favour of each of the

resolutions 1-4.

• If you have not named a proxy, or your

named proxy does not attend the

meeting, and you have directed how you

wish to vote, the Chair will be your proxy.

If you wish to appoint

a proxy:

Voting at the in-person meeting

You can exercise your right to vote at the

physical meeting in two ways. Namely, by

notice of meeting and contains additional

details around voting and appointing a proxy

or representative.
