ONLINE PARTICIPATION DETAILS

Provided COVID-19 restrictions do not prevent the Company from being able to hold the Annual Meeting in person on the Meeting Date, shareholders will be able to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting in person at Ellerslie. Shareholders may also choose to attend and participate in the Annual Meeting online via Lumi at www.web.lumiagm.com. However, should the COVID-19 threat level be higher than Alert Level One in Auckland on the day of the Annual Meeting, or if the Government restrictions mean that an in-person meeting cannot take place, the Company will need to move to a fully online Annual Meeting. The Company will notify shareholders by email and a notice on NZX and will post details on the Company's website, if it is necessary for the Annual Meeting to take place fully online.

In order to participate remotely, shareholders should visit www.web.lumiagm.com on their desktop or mobile device and ensure that the browser is compatible - Lumi AGM supports the latest version of Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, Edge or Firefox.

If shareholders have any questions or need assistance with the online process, please contact Computershare on +64 9 488 8777 between 8.30am and 5.00pm (NZ time) Monday to Friday.

Shareholders will be able to view the presentations, vote on the resolutions to be put to shareholders and ask questions, by using their own computers or mobile devices. Shareholders will still be able to appoint a proxy to vote for them as they otherwise would, by following the instructions on the proxy form and this Notice of Meeting.

Please note that not all questions may be able to be answered during the meeting. In this case, questions will be followed up after the meeting.

Details of how to participate "virtually" are provided in the accompanying Virtual Meeting Guide, with instructions for accessing the virtual meeting. Shareholders are encouraged to review this guide and download the App prior to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Shareholders will require the meeting ID (which is 366-830-035) as well as their CSN/Securityholder Number, which can be found on their proxy form, for verification purposes.

The safety of our shareholders remains our key focus in these challenging times.
