Explanatory notes
Resolution 1: Election of Guy Fergusson as Director
Under Listing Rule 2.7.1 of the NZX Listing Rules, and in accordance
with clause 25.2 of the Company’s constitution, a director appointed
by the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the next
annual meeting following the director’s appointment. If the director is
eligible, they may offer themselves for election by shareholders at the
annual meeting following their appointment.
Guy Fergusson was appointed by the Board on 24 November 2023
and, being eligible, offers himself for election by shareholders at this
meeting. Guy Fergusson is an independent Director. A brief biography
for Guy Fergusson is set out below.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour
of the election of Guy Fergusson.
Resolution 2: Auditor’s Remuneration
The current auditor of the Company, Ernst & Young, will be automatically
reappointed as Winton’s auditor at the Annual Meeting in accordance
with section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. Under that legislation, the
auditor’s fees and expenses must be fixed at the Annual Meeting or in
the manner that the Company determines at the meeting. Shareholder

Ernst & Young’s fees and expenses for the ensuing financial year.
The Board unanimously supports this resolution and recommends that
shareholders vote in favour of it at the meeting.

PROXY FORM/ADMISSION CARD FOR WINTON LAND LIMITED’S 2024 ANNUAL MEETING
The Winton Land Limited (“Company”) Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held online at www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/win24, on Thursday, 24 October
2024 commencing at 11am. If you will attend the Meeting online, you will require your Holder Number for verification purposes.
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, MUFG Corporate Markets (formerly Link Market Services Limited), by no later than 11am, Tuesday, 22 October 2024. 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.
Attending the meeting
The 2024 Annual Meeting will be an online Meeting only. If you propose to attend the Annual Meeting online you can join via the MUFG Corporate Markets
Virtual Meeting platform at: www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/win24. You will require your Holder Number for verification purposes.
