RESOLUTIONS ON RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Shareholders should note the average tenure on the Board among the current directors is less than 5 years,

following the retirement of two directors of long tenure (including the previous Board Chair) in 2021, the

appointment of three directors during 2021 and 2022 and the resignation of Mark Rushworth during 2024.

Mark Cairns is retiring by rotation and offers himself for re-election.

The Board has determined that Mark is an independent director and

unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of his re-

election.

Mark was appointed a director in April 2021. He was Chief Executive of

Port of Tauranga, New Zealand’s largest and most successful port,

from 2005 until his retirement in June 2021 to pursue a full-time

governance career. Mark was previously Chief Executive of Toll Owens

Limited and Owens Cargo Company Limited. Mark has extensive

experience in logistics, infrastructure, contracting and significant
