NOTICE OF 2025 ANNUAL

SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETING

Resolution 1: Auditor’s Remuneration
Under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993, Grant Thornton is

automatically reappointed as the auditor of the Company.

This resolution authorises the Board to fix the fees and expenses

of the auditor in accordance with section 207S of the

Companies Act 1993.

Resolution 2: Re-election of George Adams

The Listing Rules provide that a director must not hold office

(without re-election) past the third annual meeting after his or her

appointment or re-election, or for three years, whichever is longer.

Accordingly, George Adams retires by rotation and, being eligible,

has offered himself for re-election.

George has been an independent director of the Company since

August 2021. He is chair of the Board’s Remuneration Committee

and a member of the Audit Committee.

George brings outstanding commercial and governance experience

from more than 30 years of international business experience, as

well as a strong background in occupational health and safety.

His previous management positions include Managing Director of

Coca-Cola Amatil in New Zealand, Financial Controller of British

Telecom Northern Ireland and Group Finance Director of Molino

Beverages based in Dublin.

He is currently Chairman of Netlogix, New Zealand Frost Fans and

Synlait Milk Co. In addition, Mr Adams is the Executive Chairman

and co-founder of Apollo Foods and Insightful Mobility.

The other directors unanimously support the re-election of George

Adams as a director.

The Board has determined that Mr Adams is an Independent

Director as defined under the NZX Listing Rules because he is not

an executive of ArborGen and does not have any Disqualifying

Relationships as defined in the NZX Listing Rules.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

In these explanatory notes, references to “Listing Rules” are to the NZX Listing Rules. All resolutions are Ordinary Resolutions and require

approval by a simple majority (greater than 50%) of the votes of those shareholders entitled to vote and voting on the resolution.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
VOTING

The only persons entitled to vote at the Meeting are registered

shareholders (or their proxies or representatives) as at 5.00pm on

Friday, 5 September 2025. Only the shares registered in those

shareholders’ names at that time may be voted at the Meeting.

Voting can be done in two ways: by attending the Meeting in person

or online and submitting your vote; or by appointing a proxy to vote

on your behalf at the Meeting.

There are no voting restrictions applicable to the resolutions being

presented to the Meeting.

PROXIES, CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES AND

POWER OF ATTORNEY

Any shareholder who is entitled to vote at the Meeting may appoint

another person or persons as proxy (or in the case of a corporate

shareholder, a representative) to attend and vote on his or her behalf at

the Meeting. A proxy does not have to be a shareholder in the Company.

If a shareholder wishes to appoint a proxy to attend and vote in their

place, that shareholder should complete the Voting/Proxy Form which

accompanies this Notice of Meeting or follow the instructions on the

proxy form to lodge a proxy online. Either of the joint holders of a share

may sign the proxy form.

The Chairman and the Directors offer themselves as proxy to

shareholders and, if given discretion, will vote in favour of

the resolutions.

A shareholder wishing to appoint a proxy can do so by:

• Completing the enclosed Voting/Proxy Form and returning

it by mail or email to Computershare Investor

Services Limited;

or

• Appointing a proxy online at www.investorvote.co.nz in

accordance with the instructions set out in the

Proxy/Voting Form

so as to ensure it is received by 10.30am on Monday

8 September 2025 (being 48 hours before the time for holding

the Meeting).

The contact details for Computershare Investor Services Limited are:

Private Bag 92119, Auckland 1142, New Zealand.

Email: corporateactions@computershare.co.nz.

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 s/he sees fit. If you

wish to give your proxy discretion, you must mark the appropriate

boxes to grant your proxy that discretion. If you do not tick any box for

a particular resolution, or the form is otherwise unclear, then your proxy

will abstain from voting. If you mark more than one box on an item,

your vote will be invalid on that item.

If, in appointing a proxy, you inadvertently do not name someone to be

your proxy (either online or on the enclosed proxy form), or your named

proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your

proxy and will vote in accordance with your express direction.

The Chairman and the Directors intend to vote proxies granted to them

and marked ‘Proxy Discretion’ in favour of the resolutions. Please see

the Voting/Proxy Form for further details and instructions.
