Chair Report
Kia ora unit holders,

The 2026 financial year was a significant year for Fonterra and the Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund.

Fonterra completed the divestment of Mainland Group, delivered increased underlying

earnings and returned capital to shareholders and unit holders.

Fonterra declared fully imputed dividends totalling 73 cents per share. This comprised an

ordinary dividend of 57 cents per share, made up of the 24 cent interim dividend and a final

dividend of 33 cents, together with a 16 cent special dividend relating to Mainland Group.

The special dividend represented a full payout of Mainland Group’s FY26 earnings

attributable to Fonterra up to completion of the divestment, and the final distribution

of 33 cents per unit will be paid on 15 October 2026.

In addition, shareholders and unit holders received a capital return of $2.00 per share

or unit from the proceeds of the Mainland divestment.

As a unit holder, you received the economic benefit of the dividends and capital return

distributed during the year. Together, the dividends and capital return represent total

cash distributions of $2.73 per unit.

Over the 2026 financial year, the Fund delivered a total unit holder return of 38%,

compared with 7% for the NZX50.

Fonterra’s business performance

The Fund, and the Board of FSF Management Company Limited that oversees it, have no

direct involvement in Fonterra’s operations. However, as a holder of economic rights in

Fonterra, the Fund’s performance is tied directly to Fonterra’s performance.

Fonterra delivered a strong financial result in FY26. Total Group profit after tax increased

to $2,608 million, from $1,079 million in FY25, including a $1,250 million gain on the sale

of Mainland Group, reported earnings were 160 cents per share.

The reported result includes Mainland Group’s earnings up to completion of the divestment

and the gain recognised on its sale. To provide a clearer view of the performance of the

business that remains, Fonterra also presents underlying results for its continuing operations.

The underlying results are presented as if the terms of the Mainland divestment had

applied for the full financial year. This supports comparison with the historical pro forma

information provided in the Notice of Special Meeting booklet and reflects Fonterra as it

operates today as a focused, global business-to-business dairy nutrition co-operative.

Underlying operating profit increased by $351 million to $1,840 million, supported by

higher milk collections and improved performance across Ingredients and Foodservice.

Underlying profit after tax increased $268 million to $1,182 million, equating to 71 cents

per share, compared with 54 cents in FY25. This result means Fonterra achieved ahead of

plan its target of returning earnings to FY25 pre-divestment levels within three years.

Across Fonterra’s end-to-end channels:

–Ingredients operating profit increased by $85 million to $1,293 million. Strong global

demand supported higher sales prices for protein products, while higher sales volumes

also contributed. Return on capital increased to 13.5%, from 12.8%.

–Foodservice operating profit increased by $266 million to $547 million. The increase was

supported by stronger margins across key products, moderately higher sales volumes

and lower operating costs. Return on capital increased to 16.3%, from 8.5%.

Underlying return on capital increased to 14.2%, from 11.7% in the prior year.

Fonterra also maintained a strong balance sheet. Adjusted net debt reduced by $1.0 billion

to $1.7 billion, while gearing declined to 20.8%, from 23.9% in the prior year. This provides

Fonterra with financial capacity to invest in its operations and pursue further value creation.

Looking ahead

Fonterra has announced forecast FY27 earnings of 65 to 85 cents per share and a forecast

2026/27 season Farmgate Milk Price range of $8.50 to $10.50 per kgMS, with a midpoint of

$9.50 per kgMS.

Fonterra Chief Executive, Richard Allen, said Fonterra entered FY27 with a focused strategy

and a strong balance sheet. Its priorities include improving operational efficiency, completing

the operational separation from Mainland, investing in manufacturing capacity for higher-

value dairy products and continuing the implementation of its new technology platform.

These priorities support Fonterra’s objective of delivering sustainable earnings and returns

over time, which unit holders benefit from.

For further detail on Fonterra’s performance and outlook, I encourage you to read

Fonterra’s other annual results materials, available on its Investor Relations website.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2026

a) General information

The Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund (FSF or the Fund) is a New Zealand managed investment scheme

established to be the ‘Authorised Fund’ referred to in Fonterra’s Constitution. It is an FMC Reporting

Entity registered under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and its governing document is the

Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund Trust Deed (the Trust Deed) dated 23 October 2012 (as amended) and has

a life of 80 years. Under the Trust Deed, the Fund may invest only in authorised investments, which are

the Economic Rights of Fonterra shares (Economic Rights), and issue units to investors. It may not invest

directly in Fonterra shares (Shares).

The Fund is listed on the NZX Main Board operated by NZX Limited. The activities of the Fund and

the issue of units to the public are managed by FSF Management Company Limited (the Manager).

The immediate and ultimate parent of the Fund is Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited (Fonterra,

or the Co-operative).

The New Zealand Guardian Trust Company Limited (the Trustee) acts as the trustee for the Fund.

The Economic Rights assets are held on trust for the Trustee under the Fonterra Economic Rights Trust

by Fonterra Farmer Custodian Limited (the Custodian). The trustees of the Fonterra Farmer Custodian

Trust also hold one unit known as the Fonterra unit.

The registered office of the Manager is 109 Fanshawe Street, Auckland Central, Auckland 1010,

New Zealand.

The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Manager on 23 September 2026.

Fonterra financial statements

Investors are encouraged to read the financial statements of Fonterra, together with the financial

statements of the Fund, given that the performance of the Fund is driven by the performance of

Fonterra. The Fonterra financial statements can be found in the ‘Investors/Results & Reporting’

section of Fonterra’s website.

Fonterra’s capital structure

Under Fonterra’s Flexible Shareholding capital structure, the ability for the Fund to acquire Economic

Rights and issue units to investors (i.e. to exchange shares for units) on a day-to-day basis is suspended.

The Fonterra Board retains the right to regulate this process, and if, in the future, the Fonterra Board

considered it was appropriate to increase the Fund size, it could do so up to the overall Fund size limit

of 10% of the total number of Fonterra shares on issue as specified in Fonterra’s Constitution.

As at 31 July 2026, the Fund size is 6.7% (31 July 2025: 6.7%).

Information about Flexible Shareholding is available in the ‘Investors/Capital Structure’ section of

Fonterra’s website.

Activities

The principal activity of the Fund is to acquire and hold Economic Rights and issue units to investors

to allow investors in the Fund an opportunity to earn returns based on the financial performance of

Fonterra. As reflected in the previous section, the ability to exchange shares for units is suspended

under Flexible Shareholding.

Economic Rights and units

One Economic Right represents the right to receive dividends and other economic benefits derived from

a fully paid share in Fonterra. This does not include the right to hold legal title to the share or to exercise

voting rights in Fonterra.

A unit constitutes an undivided interest in the Fund. The Fund is designed to have the effect that each

unit on issue in the Fund will represent the Economic Right derived from a single share in Fonterra.

Key attributes of Economic Rights

–The right to receive a distribution equivalent to any dividend declared by the Fonterra Board

(before PIE tax, withholding tax or other tax on distribution).

–The right to participate in other transactions in respect of Fonterra shares such as bonus issues,

rights issues, capital returns or buybacks.

–The right to share in any surplus on liquidation of Fonterra.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2026

Key rights and restrictions of unit holders

–Unit holders will be entitled to have passed through to them an amount equal to any dividend payable,

or capital return payable, in relation to a share in Fonterra (adjusted for any PIE tax, withholding tax or

any other adjustments for tax in relation to that unit holder).

–If Fonterra reconstructs or adjusts its shares, an equivalent reconstruction or adjustment will be made

in respect of units.

–If Fonterra makes bonus issues or rights issues of shares to its shareholders, corresponding issues of

units will be made to unit holders.

–If there is an offer to acquire shares held by the Custodian, the Fund will seek instructions from unit

holders as to whether the offer should be accepted. If a unit holder directs the Fund to accept the offer,

the Fund will redeem units from such unit holder and accept the offer for shares in proportion to that

direction. The amount received from the sale of the shares will be paid by the Fund to the unit holder.

–Unit holders are entitled to attend and vote at unit holder meetings and to elect three Directors of

the Manager of the Fund. The additional two Directors of the Manager of the Fund are appointed

by Fonterra.

–Unit holders do not have any right to attend or vote, or request the Custodian to attend or vote,

at any meeting of Fonterra farmer shareholders.

Key rights of the Fonterra unit holder

–The Trust Deed cannot be amended without the prior approval of the holder of the Fonterra unit if

that amendment would change the governance structure of the Board of the Manager, the scope

and role of the Fund, the exchange mechanism for units and Economic Rights and the individual fund

size restrictions.

–In other respects, the holder of the Fonterra unit has the same rights as any other unit holder.

b) Basis of preparation

These financial statements comply with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting

Standards (NZ IFRS Accounting Standards) and have been prepared in accordance with Generally

Accepted Accounting Practice (GAAP) applicable to for-profit entities. These financial statements also

comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS Accounting Standards).

These financial statements are prepared on a historical cost basis, except for Economic Rights and

amounts attributable to unit holders which have been measured at fair value.

These financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars ($), which is the Fund’s functional

and presentation currency, and rounded to the nearest million, except where otherwise stated.

The same accounting policies are followed in these financial statements as were applied in the financial

statements for the year ended 31 July 2025.

The preparation of financial statements requires the Manager to make judgements, estimates and

assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets,

liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates. Estimates and

judgements are continually evaluated and are based on historical experience and other factors, including

expectations of future events that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Revisions of

accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future

periods affected.

The judgement that has the most significant effect on the amounts recognised in the financial statements

relates to the valuation of the Economic Rights of Fonterra Shares. The valuation approach used for the

Economic Rights is described in Note 1.

Re-presentations

At each balance date the Fund assesses the aggregation and disaggregation of individual line items.

For the current year, unclaimed distributions and distributions payable have been disaggregated

and disclosed on the face of the Statement of Financial Position. Comparative information has been

re-presented for consistency with the current period.

c) Material accounting policies

Operating segments

The Fund’s investments only include Economic Rights assets and the Fund’s performance is evaluated

on an overall basis. Therefore, the Fund is a single-segment entity. All of the Fund’s income is from

investments in the Economic Rights.

The internal reporting provided to the Board of the Manager, which is the Fund’s chief operating decision

maker, for the Fund’s assets, liabilities and performance is prepared on a consistent basis with the

measurement and recognition principles of NZ IFRS Accounting Standards. The Board of the Manager

reviews the Fund’s internal reporting in order to assess the performance and position of the Fund.

Dividend income

Dividend income from investments in Economic Rights is recognised in profit or loss on the date that the

right to receive payment of the dividend is established, when it is probable that the economic benefits will

flow to the Fund and the amount of the dividend can be reliably measured.

Annual Report 2026

Chair ReportOur BoardDirectoryStatutory InformationCorporate Governance Statement ContentsFinancial Statements

Financial StatementsNotes to the Financial StatementsIndependent Auditor’s Report

Basis of Preparation continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2026

Distributions to unit holders

Distributions payable to unit holders are recognised in profit or loss as finance costs in the period in

which they are declared by the Board of the Manager.

Distributions to unit holders that are unclaimed at balance date are presented as distributions payable

in the Statement of Financial Position.

Financial assets and financial liabilities

A financial asset or liability is recognised when the Fund becomes a party to the contractual provisions

of the asset or liability (i.e. trade date).

Financial assets are derecognised if the Fund’s contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial

assets expire or if the Fund transfers the financial asset to another party without retaining control

or substantially all risks and rewards of the asset. Financial liabilities are derecognised if the Fund’s

obligations specified in the contract expire or are discharged or cancelled.

Economic Rights of Fonterra shares

The Economic Rights of Fonterra shares are measured at fair value. Changes in fair value are recognised

as investment income or expense in profit or loss. The Economic Rights are a current asset.

Amounts attributable to unit holders

The Fund has an obligation to repurchase units from Farmers, the Registered Volume Providers and

Fonterra, therefore the amounts attributable to unit holders is a financial liability. It is presented as a

financial liability because it does not meet the limited set of criteria that would allow it to be presented

as equity. The amounts attributable to unit holders is a current liability.

The Fund manages its amounts attributable to unit holders on a fair value basis. Therefore, the Fund

has elected to measure the amounts attributable to unit holders at fair value. Changes in fair value are

recognised as finance costs in profit or loss.

Ta x

The Fund has elected to be a ‘foreign investment variable-rate Portfolio Investment Entity’ for

New Zealand income tax purposes. Due to this election, income is effectively taxed in the hands of

the unit holders and therefore the Fund has no tax expense, current tax payable or deferred tax assets

or liabilities.

The Fund will attribute PIE income (being Fonterra dividends) to unit holders and pay tax on that income

at each relevant unit holder’s nominated prescribed investor rate (PIR), being their applicable tax rate,

subject to the option to apply the non-resident withholding tax rules in respect of Notified Foreign

Investors. When the Fund receives Fonterra dividends the Fund will retain an amount from dividends

distributed to a unit holder to satisfy the PIE (or withholding) tax liability in relation to that unit holder

and pay amounts owing direct to the IRD. It is not anticipated that the Fund will have a PIE tax loss or

excess tax credits which will be attributed to unit holders.

d) New standards and interpretations

Accounting standards effective from 1 August 2025

No new or amended standards and interpretations that became effective for the year ended 31 July 2026

have had a material impact to the Fund.

Accounting standards issued but not yet effective

There are no new or amended standards that are issued but not yet effective that are expected to have

a material recognition or measurement impact to the Fund.

Notes to the Financial Statements
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2026

1 Financial risk management

The Fund was primarily established to invest in Economic Rights and issue units to investors. As such its

only investment comprises of Economic Rights. Through the holding of this investment and issuing units

to unit holders, the Fund has limited net exposure to market price risk and liquidity risk. The Fund has no

direct exposure to interest rate, foreign exchange or credit risk. The risk management policies employed

by the Fund are discussed below.

Market price risk

Market price risk is the risk that the value of an instrument will fluctuate as a result of changes in market

prices, whether caused by factors specific to an individual instrument, its issuer or factors affecting all

instruments traded in the market.

The Fund’s financial instruments primarily comprise of investments in the Economic Rights and amounts

attributable to unit holders which are both carried at fair value with fair value changes recognised in profit or

loss. Both of these instruments are exposed to market price risk. Any change in the market price of the units

will result in an equal and opposite change in the market price of the Economic Rights. Hence, no impact on

profit or loss in the Statement of Comprehensive Income is expected due to changes in market prices.

Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Fund will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due.

The Fund is not exposed to cash redemptions and only certain parties are permitted to redeem their units.

Where permitted parties redeem units, the Fund will transfer one Economic Right for each unit redeemed

to meet the redemption. Unit holders will not otherwise have the ability to redeem their units or exchange

them for Shares. Hence, the Fund does not have significant liquidity risk.

Financial instruments fair value

The Fund measures the Economic Rights and amounts attributable to unit holders at fair value.

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly

transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

The Fund uses the following fair value hierarchy that reflects the significance of the inputs used in making

the measurements:

–Level 1: Quoted price (unadjusted) in an active market for an identical instrument.

–Level 2: Valuation techniques based on observable inputs, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly

(i.e. derived from prices). This category includes instruments valued using: quoted prices in active

markets for similar instruments; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are

considered less than active; or other valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are directly

or indirectly observable from market data.

–Level 3: Valuation techniques using significant unobservable inputs. The Fund has no Level 3 instruments.

The Fund’s amounts attributable to unit holders is a Level 1 instrument as the unit price is quoted on the

NZX Main Board, which is considered to be an active market. The Manager considers market prices to

be the most representative measure of fair value as they are used by market participants as a practical

expedient for fair value measurement.

Where there is a bid and ask price, the Fund uses the price within that range that is most representative

of fair value. Where the last traded price is within that range, the Fund uses the last traded price as fair

value. Where the last traded price falls outside that range the Fund uses the mid-point between the bid

and ask prices.

The market is monitored on an ongoing basis to confirm that it remains active for the purposes of

establishing fair value.

Economic Rights are Level 2 instruments as Economic Rights are not listed and there is no active market

for Economic Rights assets. Economic Rights are valued using the quoted price of units (which are

considered to be a materially comparable instrument) in the Fund listed on the NZX Main Board.

There have been no transfers between the categories in the fair value hierarchy during any of the

periods presented.

Capital risk management

The Fund manages its amounts attributable to unit holders as capital, notwithstanding that amounts

attributable to unit holders is classified as a financial liability.

While the Fund is capped under Flexible Shareholding, Fonterra continues to monitor the Fund size,

relative to total Co-operative shares on issue. Under Flexible Shareholding the aggregate number

of Co-operative Shares which are at any time the subject of Fund Arrangements shall not exceed an

amount (“Overall Limit”) equal to 10% of the total number of Co-operative Shares on issue.

2 Economic rights of Fonterra shares

On 14 April 2026, the Fonterra tax free capital return of $2 per share totalling $3.2 billion was paid

to shareholders, including a payment of $215 million to the Custodian which was paid directly to the

unit holders. 35,803,660 shares were repurchased and cancelled, and one share not repurchased was

subdivided into such number of shares as were repurchased, plus one. As a result, the number of shares

held by the Custodian remains the same as before the capital return. There was no change to the number

of units on issue.

FSF Management Company Limited

FSF Management Company Limited is the Fund’s Manager whose sole role is to manage the Fund and its

property as a passive investment vehicle under the Trust Deed. Under the Trust Deed, the Manager is not

entitled to any fees in respect of its services.

Key Management Personnel

Key Management Personnel (KMP) are those people with the responsibility and authority for planning,

directing and controlling the activities of an entity. As the Fund does not have any employees or directors,

KMP are considered to be the Directors of the Manager.

As at 31 July 2026 3,500 units with a value of $24,150 were held by KMP (31 July 2025: 150,541 units with

a value of $1,052,282).

Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited

Under the Authorised Fund Contract, Fonterra provides administrative services in relation to the Fund

for the Manager and meets the operating expenses of the Fund, including the fees of the Directors of

the Manager.

The Manager and the Trustee have agreed that Fonterra will meet the day-to-day operating costs of

the Fund. In addition, the Fund will use corporate facilities, support functions and services provided by

Fonterra. All of these services will be provided at no cost to the Fund.

There are some costs that will not be covered by Fonterra. These principally relate to circumstances where

the Manager has breached certain obligations or seeks to bring claims outside the ambit of those which

Fonterra has undertaken to pay. In these circumstances, the Manager would have to seek funding from

other sources. This could include seeking a resolution of unit holders that they agree to bear the relevant

costs through a deduction from distributions that would otherwise be made by the Fund.

Fonterra Farmer Custodian Limited

The Fund has appointed Fonterra Farmer Custodian Limited, a subsidiary of Fonterra, to provide custodian

services. The Economic Rights are held on trust for the Trustee by the Custodian under the Fonterra

Economic Rights Trust. Custodian services are provided at no cost to the Fund.

for the Fund.

Fonterra (Delegated Compliance Trading Services) Limited (DCT)

DCT is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fonterra which undertakes delegated compliance trading in the Fund

on behalf of Fonterra’s farmer shareholders.

On 6 October 2025, DCT made a net purchase of 15,187 units for $89,577 on behalf of Fonterra farmer

shareholders participating in the 2025/26 season Delegated Compliance Trading Scheme. In the prior year,

on 4 October 2024, DCT made a net purchase of 7,684 units for $27,431. The sale or purchase of units with

the Fonterra farmer shareholders are transacted on the same day. Therefore, no units are held by DCT on

behalf of Fonterra’s farmer shareholders at the close of trading.

Fund expenses

Fonterra, the Manager, the Trustee and the Custodian have entered into the Authorised Fund Contract,

which authorises the Fund to operate as an Authorised Fund and regulates the relationship between

Fonterra and the Fund.

Fonterra or the Manager. The costs of running the Fund include services by Fonterra for which there

between balance date and the date these financial statements were authorised for issue. Changes in the

market price of the units result in a corresponding change in the value of the Economic Rights asset held

by the Fund. Daily unit prices are available on the NZX website.

Independent Auditor’s Report
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2026

To the Unit Holders of Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund

Report on the audit of the financial statements

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements which comprise:

–the statement of financial position as at 31 July 2026;

–the statements of comprehensive income, changes in amounts attributable to Unit Holders and

cash flows for the year then ended; and

–notes, including material accounting policy information and other explanatory information.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements of Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund (the Fund)

on pages 6 to 14 present fairly, in all material respects:

–the Fund’s financial position as at 31 July 2026 and its financial performance and cash flows for

the year ended on that date; and

–in accordance with New Zealand Equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards

(NZ IFRS) issued by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board and the International Financial

Reporting Standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (New Zealand) (ISAs (NZ)).

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for

our opinion.

We are independent of Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund in accordance with Professional and Ethical Standard

1 International Code of Ethics for Assurance Practitioners (Including International Independence

Standards) (New Zealand) issued by the New Zealand Auditing and Assurance Standards Board and the

International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants’ International Code of Ethics for Professional

Accountants (including International Independence Standards) (IESBA Code), as applicable to audits of

financial statements of public interest entities. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in

accordance with Professional and Ethical Standards 1 and the IESBA Code.

Our responsibilities under ISAs (NZ) are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit

of the financial statements section of our report.

Other than in our capacity as auditor we have no relationship with, or interests in, the Fund.

Materiality

The scope of our audit was influenced by our application of materiality. Materiality helped us to determine

the nature, timing and extent of our audit procedures and to evaluate the effect of misstatements,

both individually and on the financial statements as a whole. The materiality for the financial statements

as a whole was set at $7,420,000 determined with reference to a benchmark of the Fund’s total assets.

We chose the benchmark because, in our view, this is a key measure of the Fund’s performance.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in

our audit of the financial statements in the current period. The Fund only invests in Economic Rights of

Fonterra Shares (Economic Rights). The value of the Economic Rights is based on the price of the Units

in the Fund which are quoted on the NZX Main Board. Given the nature of the Fund’s operations, we have

determined that there are no key audit matters to communicate in our report.

Other information

The Manager, on behalf of the Fund, is responsible for the other information. The other information

comprises information included in the Annual Report but does not include the financial statements and

our auditor’s report thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover any other information and we do not express any

form of assurance conclusion thereon.

In connection with our audit of the financial statements our responsibility is to read the other information

and in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial

statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears materially misstated.

If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude there is a material misstatement of this other

information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

Use of this independent auditor’s report

This independent auditor’s report is made solely to the Unit Holders as a body. Our audit work has been

undertaken so that we might state to the Unit Holders those matters we are required to state to them in

the independent auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, none

of KPMG, any entities directly or indirectly controlled by KPMG, or any of their respective members or

employees, accept or assume any responsibility and deny all liability to anyone other than the Unit Holders

for our audit work, this independent auditor’s report, or any of the opinions we have formed.

Independent Auditor’s Report continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2026

Responsibilities of the Manager for the financial statements

The Manager, on behalf of the Fund, is responsible for:

–the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with NZ IFRS issued

by the New Zealand Accounting Standards Board and the International Financial Reporting Standards

issued by the International Accounting Standards Board;

– implementing the necessary internal control to enable the preparation of a set of financial statements

that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

–assessing the ability of the Fund to continue as a going concern. This includes disclosing, as applicable,

matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless they either

intend to liquidate or to cease operations or have no realistic alternative but to do so.

Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements

Our objective is:

–to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from

material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; and

–to issue an independent auditor’s report that includes our opinion.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted

in accordance with ISAs NZ will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the

aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken

on the basis of the financial statements.

A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located at the

External Reporting Board (XRB) website at: https://www.xrb.govt.nz/standards/assurance-standards/

NZX trading halts

Fonterra shareholders. The trading halt remained in effect until the market opened on 13 April 2026.

NZX non-standard designation

The Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund has been granted a ‘Non-Standard’ (“NS”) designation by NZ RegCo.

This designation was granted because of the unique governance arrangements and unit holder restrictions.

Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund

Annual Report 2026

Chair ReportOur BoardFinancial StatementsDirectoryCorporate Governance Statement ContentsStatutory Information

Background
The Fund is a registered managed investment scheme under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013.

The Fund is required to have a supervisor (trustee) and a manager. The role of the trustee is to hold the

economic benefit of shares held by the Fonterra Farmer Custodian for the benefit of the trustee of

the Fund. The role of the Manager is to issue or offer units in the Fund and to manage the property of

the Fund.

The Manager does not have any employees. Under the Authorised Fund Contract, Fonterra has agreed to

provide the Fund with administrative services and to meet the costs of the general business of the Fund,

including paying the fees and expenses of the Directors.

The Trust Deed defines a narrow function of the Fund which is, in summary to:

–issue units when new Economic Rights of Fonterra shares are held for the benefit of the Fund;

–redeem units when required by a farmer shareholder, Fonterra or the registered volume providers

and direct that the Fonterra Farmer Custodian transfers Fonterra shares to the farmer shareholder,

Fonterra or the Fonterra Farmer Custodian on behalf of the registered volume providers seeking

that redemption; and

–not undertake other trading activities.

The Fund is to be ‘passive’, i.e., it does not actively solicit Economic Rights or the redemption of units

except for undertaking the initial supply offer.

Corporate Governance Principles

The Board’s corporate governance statement takes into consideration contemporary standards in

New Zealand, including the NZX Corporate Governance Code (31 March 2026 edition) (NZX Code).

This corporate governance statement adopted by the Board is current as at 23 September 2026 and

reflects the Board’s role as a manager of a fund with limited operational activity, which in several ways is

different to the corporate governance structure appropriate for a traditional listed company carrying on

an operating business.

Given the special purpose nature of the Fund, as at 31 July 2026, the Manager has determined that a

number of the recommendations in the NZX Code are not appropriate for the Fund or are not relevant.

In accordance with the NZX Listing Rules, the Manager has disclosed in this corporate governance

statement a summary of the corporate governance policies, practices and processes adopted or followed

during the year ended 31 July 2026 or explained why the Manager has decided to not comply with a

particular recommendation (or part thereof) of the NZX Code.

References to ‘Board’ and ‘Directors’ in this statement are to the Board and Directors of the Manager.

The Board of the Manager has approved this corporate governance statement.

Corporate Governance Statement continued
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2026

Principle 1: Ethical Standards

Code of Conduct

The Manager has a well-established Code of Conduct that, together with the Board Charter, sets ethical

standards for each member of the Board of the Manager. The Code of Conduct guides the Directors on:

–the practices necessary to maintain confidence in the Manager’s integrity; and

–the responsibility and accountability of individuals for reporting and investigating reports of

unethical practices.

The Code of Conduct and Board Charter are available on www.fonterra.com in the ‘Investors/Fonterra

Shareholders’ Fund’ section under the heading ‘Charters and Policies’ and was last updated in March 2025.

The NZX Code (31 March 2026 edition) did not result in changes to these documents.

While the Manager has no employees, Fonterra has Whistleblower procedures in place which apply

to Fonterra employees who provide services to the Fund.

Securities Trading Policy and Standard

The Manager has adopted Fonterra’s Securities Trading Policy and Securities Trading Standard that

detail the rules for trading in units and other securities of Fonterra. The Policy and Standard are available

on www.fonterra.com and apply to Directors of the Manager and Directors, officers, employees and

contractors of Fonterra in addition to legal prohibitions on insider trading in New Zealand.

Directors’ Unit Holdings

The Independent Directors of Fonterra who are also appointed to the Board of the Manager are

prohibited from acquiring any relevant interest in units. The other Directors of the Manager may acquire

units, and to the extent any units are acquired, these acquisitions will be disclosed to the market as

required by law.

Principle 2: Board Composition and Performance

Board Charter

The Board has statutory responsibilities for the activities of the Manager and the Fund.

The roles and responsibilities of the Board are set out in its Board Charter. Its roles and

responsibilities include:

–monitoring the performance of the Fund and the implementation of its objectives;

–monitoring compliance with the legal and regulatory requirements and ethical standards; and

–monitoring compliance with, and ensuring the unit holders’ interests are managed and protected

in accordance with, the constituent documents for the Fund.

Given the Fund’s limited operational activity, the Manager has limited discretion in respect of the day-to-

day management of the Fund. To the extent that any material exercise of discretion or other decision-

making authority is required, that discretion or authority is exercised by the Board.

The Board seeks independent professional advice when it considers that appropriate. Fonterra pays

the costs of independent professional advice in accordance with the Authorised Fund Contract.

The Board Charter is available on www.fonterra.com in the ‘Investors/Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund’

section under the heading ‘Charters and Policies’.

Board Appointments

The constitution of the Manager provides for five Directors and sets out how they are appointed.

In accordance with the procedure set out in the Trust Deed, unit holders are entitled to elect three

Directors (Elected Directors) and may remove and replace any Elected Director.

The three Elected Directors must be ‘Independent Directors’ for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules.

At the date of this statement the three Elected Directors are Mary Jane Daly, Carlie Eve and Alastair

Hercus. One Elected Director is required to retire at each annual meeting of the Fund. The Chair of the

Board must be one of the three Elected Directors. Mary Jane Daly is the Chair.

The remaining two Directors are appointed, and can be replaced, by Fonterra. There is no requirement

as to who the Fonterra-appointed Directors must be. While they need not be Directors of Fonterra,

the current people that Fonterra has appointed (Michelle Pye and John Nicholls) are both Directors

of Fonterra.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2026

Principle 2: Board Composition and Performance CONTINUED

The Board has developed a skills matrix for the Board of the Manager which includes governance experience,

preferably of a listed entity, financial and capital markets knowledge, knowledge of key investor drivers, an

understanding of co-operatives, and risk management experience. An assessment was completed of each

Director on the Board in the 2026 year to confirm the Board had these skills and experience.

The Manager has written agreements with each of its Directors.

Disclosure

Information about each Director (including experience, length of service, independence and ownership

interests and attendance at Board meetings) is disclosed below or in the ‘Our Board’ section of this

annual report.

In addition to the above, all current members of the Board attended the Annual Meeting of unit holders,

held on 15 December 2025.

Diversity Policy

Given the small size of the Board, and as Directors are either elected by unit holders or appointed by

Fonterra, the Manager has not followed recommendation 2.5 of the NZX Code and has not implemented

a gender diversity policy for the Board.

See the table under the ‘NZX Diversity Reporting Requirements’ section of this annual report, which

provides a quantitative breakdown as to the gender composition of the Board of the Manager and

Officers of the Manager as at 31 July 2026.

Director Training

Directors are expected to keep themselves abreast of changes and trends in economic, political, social

and legal climate generally. Directors are also expected to keep up to date with governance issues.

The Manager requests the Management of Fonterra to provide Fonterra-specific training to remain

current on how best to perform their duties as Directors of the Manager.

Performance Assessment

The Board assesses its performance against its role and the Board Charter and the performance of the

Audit and Risk Committee against the Audit and Risk Committee Charter.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 JULY 2026

Principle 2: Board Composition and Performance CONTINUED

Director Independence

As at 31 July 2026, the Board of the Manager comprised five Directors. The Board has considered which

of the Directors are Independent Directors for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules and has determined

that, as at 31 July 2026, Mary Jane Daly, Carlie Eve and Alastair Hercus are Independent Directors.

As such, a majority of the Board of the Manager are ‘Independent Directors’ for the purposes of the

NZX Listing Rules.

The factors relevant to determining whether a Director is an Independent Director are the criteria in

the NZX Listing Rules for Independent Directors, including having regard to the factors described in

the NZX Code that may impact Director independence.

Division of Roles

In accordance with the Trust Deed the Chair of the Board must be one of the three unit holder Elected

Directors, who are required to be Independent Directors.

The Manager does not have a CEO, so recommendation 2.10 of the NZX Code that the Chair and the

CEO must be different people is not applicable.

Company Secretary

The Company Secretary for the Manager is currently Fonterra’s Director of Legal and has a direct line

of communication with the Chair of the Board (and by default, the Audit and Risk Committee (which is

the Board)).

The Company Secretary is not paid by the Manager.

Principle 3: Board Committees

Audit and Risk Committee

The Board acts as the Audit and Risk Committee for the Fund. The Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee

is the Chair of the Board. Due to the limited nature of the Fund’s operations, the Board does not consider

it necessary to comply with recommendation 3.1 of the NZX Code to have a separate Chair for the Audit

and Risk Committee.

Mary Jane Daly and Carlie Eve (independent directors), and also Michelle Pye each have an accounting

or financial background.

The Board acting as Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for:

–providing oversight in relation to financial reporting and regulatory compliance; and

–reviewing financial reporting processes, internal controls, the audit process and the process for

monitoring legal and regulatory compliance.

The Manager has implemented a formal Audit and Risk Committee Charter which sets out the

responsibilities of the Audit and Risk Committee in full and establishes a framework for the

Fund’s relationship with its external auditor. The Audit and Risk Committee Charter is available

at www.fonterra.com in the ‘Investors/Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund’ section under the heading

‘Charters and Policies’.

Under the Trust Deed that governs the Fund, Fonterra’s external auditor is also appointed as auditor of

the Fund unless Fonterra requires a different auditor. The Board of the Fund oversees the work of the

external auditor and also acts as a forum for communication between the Board and the auditor where

appropriate. The Audit and Risk Committee asks the external auditor to attend the annual unit holder

meeting and be available to answer questions relevant to the financial statements.

Remuneration Committee

Given the small size of the Board and the fact the Fund has no employees, the Manager has

not established a separate Remuneration Committee and therefore has decided not to follow

recommendation 3.3 of the NZX Code.

Under the Authorised Fund Contract, Fonterra is responsible for the payment of all director fees payable

to the Directors of the Manager.

The remuneration of the Directors of the Manager may be reviewed and adjusted from time to time.

Nominations Committee

Given the small size of the Board, the Manager has not established a separate Nominations Committee to

recommend director appointments to the Board and therefore has decided not to follow recommendation

3.4 of the NZX Code. The Board is appointed in accordance with the Trust Deed and the constitution

of the Manager. The Board is responsible for establishing the criteria for determining the suitability of

potential Elected Directors and recommending persons suitable for appointment to the Board.

Other Committees

As recommended by recommendation 3.5 of the NZX Code, the Board has considered whether it is

necessary or appropriate to have any other Board Committees as standing committees. Given the

Fund’s limited operational functions, the Board decided it was not appropriate to have any other

Board committees as standing committees.

No Control Transaction Policy

Given the Fund cannot have any controlling interest in Fonterra, the Manager has not established

protocols that set out the procedure to be followed if there is a “control transaction” (such as a takeover

offer or scheme of arrangement) for the Fund (as contemplated by recommendation 3.6 of the NZX Code).

Principle 4: Reporting and Disclosure

Continuous Disclosure

The Board aims to ensure that unit holders are informed of all major developments affecting the

Fund. Information is communicated to unit holders through NZX annual report and half and full-year

results announcements.

Fonterra and the Manager have agreed to take all steps reasonably required to ensure that information to

be disclosed by either of them under the NZX Listing Rules (other than any information to be disclosed by

Fonterra which only relates to any quoted debt securities issued by Fonterra) is disclosed simultaneously

to the NZX Main Board under both the listing code relating to Fonterra and the listing code relating to

the Fund.

The Manager does not consider it necessary to comply with recommendation 4.1 of the NZX Code and to

have its own continuous disclosure policy. Due to the relationship between units and Fonterra shares, the

majority of continuous disclosure announcements are made by Fonterra in relation to matters affecting

Fonterra and the value of Fonterra shares (and by implication the value of units).

Fund Related Documents

At present the Fund has the following documents available on www.fonterra.com relating to its

governance:

–Board Charter

–Audit and Risk Committee Charter

–Code of Conduct

–Fonterra Group Securities Trading Policy and Securities Trading Standard

–Trust Deed

–Authorised Fund Contract

–A summary of key entitlements for unit holders and the Maximum Holding Restriction

–Fund Size Risk Management Policy

–Fund Prospectus and Investment Statement

–Summary of NZX Waivers

Financial and Non-Financial Reporting

The Manager partially complies with recommendation 4.3 of the NZX Code in that it provides financial

reporting that is balanced, clear and objective.

Given the Fund’s limited operational functions, the Manager does not consider it necessary to comply

with recommendation 4.4 of the NZX Code that recommends it provide non-financial disclosures annually.

Principle 5: Remuneration

Neither the Manager nor Fonterra award options or provide for retirement benefits to directors.

No special exertion benefits, additional to director fees, are or will be paid without unit holder approval.

As the Manager does not have any employees, it cannot provide any golden parachutes/golden

handshakes to executives. The Manager also does not provide any special retirement allowances

or the likes to departing directors.

Further details of the Directors’ remuneration are contained under ‘Directors’ Remuneration’ within

the Statutory Information section.

Remuneration Policy

Given the small size of the Board, the fact that the Fund has no employees or CEO, and in light of the

arrangements with Fonterra around director remuneration, the Manager has decided not to comply

with recommendations 5.2 and 5.3 of the NZX Code.

Principle 6: Risk Management

The Board is responsible for the risk management of the Fund, including:

–reviewing the principal risks contained in the risk profile of the Fund on an annual basis;

–ensuring that a risk management framework is established which includes policies and procedures to

effectively identify, treat and monitor principal business risks, including consideration of internal audit;

–at least annually assessing the effectiveness of the implementation of the risk management system; and

–monitoring compliance with the risk management framework.

Given the Fund’s limited operational functions, its general risk and health and safety risk profiles are

limited. The management of risks relating to Fonterra’s operations and which may affect the value of

Fonterra shares and dividends (and therefore the value of units and distributions flowed through to

unit holders) is a matter for the Board and Management of Fonterra and is beyond the control of the

Manager Board. On this basis, the Manager has decided not to follow recommendations 6.1 and 6.2 of

the NZX Code.

To the extent that there are risks that specifically impact the operation of the Fund, the Board reviews

the management of those risks at quarterly intervals. Specific areas of risk reviewed are:

–Regulatory compliance

–Investor confidence

–Data security

–People (Fonterra employees responsible for day-to-day operations of the Fund)

Principle 7: Auditors

External Audit

The Audit and Risk Committee Charter provides a framework for the Fund’s relationship with its

external auditor.

Under the Trust Deed that governs the Fund, Fonterra’s external auditor is also appointed as auditor

of the Fund unless Fonterra requires a different auditor. The Board of the Fund oversees the work of

the external auditor and also acts as a forum for communication between the Board and the auditor

where appropriate.

KPMG has been appointed the external auditor for seven consecutive years. The lead audit partner

has served for two consecutive years.

The appointed external auditor has historically attended the annual unit holder meeting, and the lead

audit partner is available to answer relevant questions from unit holders at that meeting.

Internal Audit

Due to the nature of the Manager’s role as a manager of a fund with limited operational activity,

recommendation 7.3 of the NZX Code has not been followed and the Manager has no formal or

informal internal audit functions.

Principle 8: Unit Holder Rights and Relations

Investor Centre Website

Fonterra maintains a dedicated investor webpage at www.fonterra.com under ‘Investors’. This website

is an important part of the Manager’s communication with unit holders. It contains financial information,

current and historical annual reports and presentations, dividend and distribution information and

other relevant information pertaining to the Fund. The website is freely accessible to the public and

is updated regularly.

Electronic Communications

The Manager provides an Investor Relations email address which provides unit holders a mechanism by

which they can communicate electronically with the Manager on any matters relating to their investment.

All unit holder-related enquiries are provided with a response within a reasonable timeframe.

Investors who have provided the Manager with an email address will be sent annual and interim reports

electronically unless they expressly opt to receive hard copy reports and will receive other communications

electronically where requested. Unit holders are strongly encouraged to provide an email address.

The 2025 Annual Meeting was held as a hybrid meeting. All unit holders had the opportunity to attend,

participate and vote either in person or online. Unit holders were also able to ask questions in person or

online via the online platform during the Annual Meeting. An Online Meeting Guide was provided to unit

holders prior to the 2025 Annual Meeting.

Voting

Under the Trust Deed the Manager and Fonterra need to comply with the provisions of all applicable

Listing Rules before taking action affecting the rights attached to any unit.

Maximum Holding Restriction

Under the Trust Deed, no unit holder and its associates (excluding Fonterra) can hold, or have a

“relevant interest” in, more than 15% of the units on issue or 15% of the voting rights in the Fund,

whichever is lower.

The Trust Deed also contains enforcement provisions to ensure compliance by unit holders with this

restriction. If Fonterra determines that a unit holder is in breach of this restriction, Fonterra may

determine that the unit holder is not entitled to vote some or all of the units it holds in breach of the

restriction and can require that the unit holder dispose of the units held in breach of the restriction.

If the units are not disposed of, the Manager or Fonterra can arrange for their disposal.

Capital Raising

As the Fund has not sought additional equity capital during the year, the Board has not needed to follow

recommendation 8.4 of the NZX Code which recommends the new equity capital raising be undertaken

on a pro rata basis.

Unit Holder Meetings

Mechanisms are in place to promote effective two-way communication with unit holders and to

encourage their participation at unit holder meetings, including:

–the Manager releasing to the NZX Main Board market announcement platform all information sent to

unit holders and will comply with the NZX Listing Rules with respect to unit holder communications; and

–notices of meetings, which are sent to unit holders at least 20 working days before a meeting and

can be found at www.fonterra.com in the ‘Investors/Fonterra Shareholders’ Fund’ section under the

heading ‘Reports and Annual Meetings Documentation’.

A unit holder may raise matters for discussion or resolution at general meetings, by giving written notice

to the Manager. If the notice is received more than 25 working days before the last day on which notice

of the meeting is due, the Manager is required, at the expense of the Fund, to give notice of the unit holder

proposal and to provide the text of any proposed resolution to all unit holders entitled to receive notice

of the meeting. The unit holder proposing the resolution has the right to prepare a statement in support

of the proposal to include with the notice of meeting (clause 14.1 of the Schedule to the Trust Deed).
