Deloitte Limited (Deloitte) is the current auditor of Foley Wines Limited. The Companies Act 1993

Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 further provides that the auditors’ fees and expenses must
be fixed by the Company, or in the manner that the Company determines at a shareholders’ meeting.
Shareholders are being asked to resolve that the Board is authorised to fix the fees and expenses of
Deloitte for the current year.
Note 2 - Election of Directors: Resolution 2

Biographies:
Paul Brock (Non-Executive Independent Chairman and Director)
Paul Brock was appointed to the Board with effect from 1 November 2018 and was appointed
Deputy Chairman from that date. Paul was appointed Chairman of the Board on 1 April 2023
following the resignation of William P Foley II as Chairman of the Board on 31 March 2023.
Paul Brock was the Kiwibank Group Chief Executive from 2010-2017. He was Co-Founder of the
bank which was launched in 2002. As Group Chief Executive Paul led the Kiwibank Group through
a period of rapid growth and diversification into business banking, wealth management, insurance
and asset finance. The bank is now a major player in the New Zealand market with one in four New
Zealanders holding an account with Kiwibank.
Paul has a strong background in governance, management, growth business development, brand
development and marketing. An extensive background in the financial services industry has also
included senior management positions with Westpac and Trust Bank. Paul has been Chairman of
Gareth Morgan Investments Ltd and Kiwibank Investment Management Ltd and the Massey

Foley Wines Limited Page 3 Notice of Annual Meeting
Nominations for Directors closed at 5.00 pm on Friday 25 September 2026.
No further Nominations were received.
Note 3 - Directors Fees: Resolution 3
In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.11.1 the following ordinary resolution will be submitted to the
shareholders at the meeting:
“THAT the total amount of Directors’ fees payable annually to all Directors taken together for their
services as Directors be increased by $105,000 from $240,000 to $345,000 to be distributed amongst
Directors as they so determine with effect from 1st July 2026.”
The Directors are recommending the proposed increase in Directors Fees taking into account the fact
that the fees have remained static since JYE2019. Since then, the regulatory landscape in which the
Company operates has continued to change, with increased regulatory risk and obligations resulting in
increased demand on Directors’ time and broadening their scope of responsibilities in monitoring and
assessing legal and regulatory compliance. The increase is being proposed to bring fees closer to the
market rate for similar size companies when compared to the latest NZ Institute of Directors/EY survey.
In future the Board proposes Directors Fees be reviewed annually based on company performance and
market trends. The Board recognises the importance of offering competitive remuneration to attract and
retain the high calibre of directors necessary to direct and support the continued growth of the Company.
The proposed fee pool is based on the current four non-executive directors.
In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 6.3 Directors and their Associates are excluded from voting on
this resolution in respect of their own shares and discretionary proxies.
