Procedural Notes and Other Information
Hybrid meeting
All shareholders will have the option to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting either in person or,
alternatively, online via an internet connection using a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone.
If the Board determines a physical meeting is inappropriate in the circumstances (for example due to COVID-19
concerns), the Company may, in its sole discretion, elect to hold the Annual Meeting as a virtual only meeting.
Details of how to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting virtually are set out below.
Persons entitled to vote.
Voting entitlements will be determined at the close of trading on Friday 24 May 2024. Registered shareholders at
that time will be the only persons entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and only the shares registered in those
shareholders’ names at that time may be voted at the meeting.
Requisite majority
Each of the Resolutions will be passed if approved by an ordinary resolution at the Annual Meeting. An ordinary
resolution is a resolution approved by a simple majority of the votes of those shareholders entitled to vote and
voting on the resolution (directly or by proxy or representative (in each case, through the means described
below)). Each Resolution is a separate resolution to be voted on separately by shareholders. Accordingly, each
Resolution may be approved regardless of the outcome of the vote on any other Resolution.
Proxies and corporate representatives
Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their
behalf. A corporation may appoint a person to attend the meeting as its representative in the same manner as it
may appoint a proxy. If a shareholder wishes to appoint a proxy (or in the case of a corporate shareholder, a
representative), the shareholder must make that appointment online by visiting www.investorvote.co.nz or by
completing and returning the Voting and Proxy Form accompanying this Notice of Meeting.
The Voting and Proxy Form must be completed (if online), or returned, by no later than Monday 27 May 2024 at
3.15pm.
A proxy need not be a shareholder. For example, shareholders may appoint the Chairman of the Board or
another person (such as the Chairman of the Annual Meeting) to act as their proxy. It is intended that the
Chairman of the Board be the Chairman of the Annual Meeting.
The Chairman of the Annual Meeting, or any other Director of AoFrio, is willing to act as a proxy on behalf of
shareholders who wish to appoint them for that purpose. The Chairman of the Annual Meeting and Directors who
act as proxies on behalf of shareholders intend to vote any proxy discretion given to them in favour of the
resolutions, provided that each of the Directors putting themselves forward for election / re-election will abstain
from voting any discretionary proxies given to them relating to their own re-election.
If your proxy is not the Chairman of the Annual Meeting or a Director of AoFrio, and they intend to join the
meeting virtually, please ensure that you provide their contact details in the space provided on the Proxy and
Voting Form.
If you appoint a proxy, you may either direct your proxy how to vote for you or you may give your proxy discretion
to vote as he/she sees fit. If you wish to give your proxy discretion, then you must mark the appropriate boxes on
the Voting and Proxy Form. If you do not tick any box for a particular resolution then your proxy may vote as they
choose, as if you had selected ‘Proxy Discretion’.

If, in appointing your proxy, you do not name a person to be your proxy, the Chairman of the Annual Meeting will
be your proxy and will vote in accordance with your express directions.
If additional matters are raised during the Annual Meeting which require a shareholder vote, your proxy will be
entitled to vote on these additional matters as your proxy thinks fit.
Shareholders may revoke their proxies by giving written notice of revocation to the Company in the manner set
out below no later than Monday 27 May 2024 at 3.15pm.

Voting on the resolutions to be put before the Annual Shareholder Meeting will be conducted by way of poll. As a
shareholder you may cast your vote in one of three ways:
(a) you may attend the meeting in person and vote, or you may participate virtually and vote at the meeting
via an online platform https://meetnow.global/nz; or
(b) you may appoint a proxy or (in the case of a corporate shareholder) a representative to attend the
meeting in person and vote in your place or to participate virtually and vote at the meeting in your place
via an online platform https://meetnow.global/nz; or
(c) you may cast a postal vote by lodging your postal vote or proxy online, by mail or by scan and email to
