Appointment of proxy

If you DO NOT plan to attend the meeting, you may appoint a proxy. The

proxy need not be a shareholder. The Chair of the meeting is willing to act

as proxy for any shareholder who appoints him for that purpose. If, in

appointing your proxy, you do not name a person as your proxy, or your

named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the meeting will be

your proxy and may vote only in accordance with your express direction

and, if given express discretion, will vote in favour of the relevant resolution.


Voting of your holding

Direct your proxy how to vote by making the appropriate election, either

online or on this Proxy Form, in respect of each item of business. If you do

not make an election in respect of a resolution your proxy may vote as they

choose, unless they are specifically excluded from voting on that resolution.

If you make more than one election in respect of a resolution your vote will

be invalid on that resolution.

If a vote is required on any other matter at the meeting, including motions

from the floor, a proxy or corporate representative may vote or abstain from

voting on that matter on your behalf as he or she thinks fit (subject to voting

restrictions).


Proxy Discretion

If you expressly appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy and elect to

give them discretion on how to vote on a resolution, you acknowledge that

they may exercise your vote even if they have an interest in the outcome of

that resolution.

ACCORDANT GROUP LIMITED

("Company")


DISCLOSURE DOCUMENT RELATING TO THE GIVING OF FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE AND THE

ACQUISITION OF SHARES IN CONNECTION WITH THE COMPANY'S RESTRICTED SHARE SCHEMES

(Section 61(5) and 78(5) of the Companies Act 1993)



TO: ALL SHAREHOLDERS



INTRODUCTION

This document is provided to all shareholders in accordance with the requirements of section 61(5) and

78(5) of the Companies Act 1993. It sets out details of the intention of the Company to give financial

assistance in connection with the AWF Madison Group and Accordant Group Restricted Share Schemes

(being the 2023 and 2024 Schemes), “the Schemes" respectively and the intention of the Company to

acquire shares issued under the:

(a) Accordant Group 2023 Restricted Share Scheme (“2023 Scheme”); and/or

(b) Accordant Group 2024 Restricted Share Scheme (“2024 Scheme”);

(together, the "Schemes").

This document is provided to you for your information. You are not required to take any action in

relation to it.


THE SCHEMES

The Schemes were established with the intention of incentivising and encouraging senior management

to commit, to excel and to remain with the Accordant Group.

Under the Schemes, participants are entitled to receive restricted shares in the Company ("Restricted

Shares"). The Company provides participants in the Schemes with an interest free loan to fund the

subscription price for their Restricted Shares. Such loans are considered financial assistance for the

purposes of the Companies Act 1993.

Such loans are to be secured by a mortgage in favour of the Company over the Restricted Shares issued

to the relevant participant. The loan must be repaid in full before the participant's Restricted Shares are

reclassified as ordinary shares in the Company.

A participant in the Schemes cannot sell or otherwise dispose of his or her Restricted Shares unless such

shares are reclassified as ordinary shares in the Company and all amounts outstanding under the

participant's loan are repaid in full.

It is a condition of each of the Schemes that, in order for a holder's Restricted Shares to be reclassified

as ordinary shares, the holder has to remain in continuous employment with the Company until a

specified date (the "Qualification Date"). If this condition is not satisfied the Company has an option to

redeem the Restricted Shares issued to the relevant participant for a redemption price equal to the

issue price of those shares. The Company also has an option to redeem a participant's Restricted Shares

for the same redemption price where this condition is satisfied but the relevant participant has not

repaid his or her loan within a prescribed time period. The proceeds from any redemption must be

applied in repayment in full of the relevant participant's loan.

2

Restricted Share Scheme

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE

Restricted Shares may be issued under the Scheme in the next 12 months.

Accordingly, the Company is likely to provide financial assistance within the next 12 months to

participants in the Schemes in the form of interest free loans equal to the aggregate subscription price

of the Restricted Shares to be issued to the relevant participant.

At this time, the Company is unable to determine the precise amount of any additional loans to be

made within the next 12 months as it is dependent upon, among other things, the level of participation

by eligible employees, the number of Restricted Shares to be issued, and the price at which the

Restricted Shares are issued. However, the total amount of the loans will not exceed $1,400,000.


ACQUISITION OF RESTRICTED SHARES

Inevitably, over the next 12 months some participants of the Schemes will cease to be employees within

the Group before the Qualification Date for Restricted Shares held by them and in such circumstances

the Company may wish to exercise its option to acquire Restricted Shares held by such participants.

The Company may elect to acquire such Restricted Shares by redeeming them or by buying them back.

Each method of acquiring shares has the same effect.

The consideration for the Restricted Shares subject to any acquisition will be equal to the issue price of

the Restricted Shares in question. The proceeds from the acquisition of any Restricted Shares will be

applied by the Company in repayment in full of the loans made to the relevant participants of the

Schemes in respect of the Restricted Shares acquired.

Any Restricted Shares acquired will be cancelled immediately upon acquisition.

At this time, the Company is unable to determine the precise number of Restricted Shares that may be

acquired within the next 12 months as it is dependent on which (if any) participants of the Schemes

cease to be employees within the Group before the Qualification Date for Restricted Shares held by

them and the number of Restricted Shares held by any such participants. However, the maximum

number of Restricted Shares that could be acquired is the number of Restricted Shares on issue at the

date of this disclosure document together with the number of Restricted Shares that may be issued

over the next 12 months. For information purposes, the number of Restricted Shares on Issue as at the

date of this disclosure document and the price that would be paid by the Company for such Restricted

Shares if they were acquired is set out in the table below. If any new Restricted Shares are issued by the

Company, a notice of their issue would be made available from NZX Limited’s website www.agl.com

under stock code AGL. It is highly unlikely that the maximum number of Restricted Shares that could be

acquired by the Company would be acquired by the Company in the next 12 months.



Class of Restricted

Shares

Current Number on

Issue Acquisition Price per Share

M shares 2023 Grant 205,000 $1.80

N shares 2023 Grant 205,000

$1.80

O shares 2024 Grant 195,000

$1.50

P shares 2024 Grant 195,000 $1.50

the directors' conclusions in relation to these resolutions and the nature and the extent of any relevant

interest the directors of the Company have in the Restricted Shares subject to the acquisition as

required by section 62 of the Companies Act 1993 are set out in Schedule 2 to this disclosure document.

pursuant to section 61 of the Companies Act 1993 is as follows:

That the acquisition of the Restricted Shares is of benefit to the Company's remaining

the terms of the relevant scheme.

(b) The ability of the Company to acquire or redeem shares from participants who

have ceased to be employed by the Company on the relevant date is a key

aspect of the Schemes which increases the alignment of interests between

participating senior staff and shareholders.

(c) The consideration for the acquisition of any Restricted Shares is equal to the

issue price of the relevant Restricted Shares as is specified in the terms of issue

of those Restricted Shares and will be used to repay the loans made by the
