NOTES

Attending the Meeting

  1. If you propose to attend the Annual Meeting in person, please bring this Proxy Form to the meeting to assist with your registration. All shareholders must register with Link Market Services prior to entering the meeting room.

Postal Vote

  1. If you propose not to attend the Annual Meeting in person or online, you may vote by postal vote. Your postal vote may be completed online, mailed, hand delivered, or scanned and emailed in accordance with the instructions above. Link Market Services Limited has been authorised by the Board to receive and count postal votes. If you submit a postal vote without indicating on any resolution how you wish to vote, you will be deemed to have abstained from voting on that resolution. If you submit a postal vote section and also appoint a proxy, your postal vote will take priority over your proxy appointment.

Proxy Appointment

  1. All shareholders entitled to attend the meeting and vote at the meeting may appoint a proxy or, in the case of a corporate shareholder, a representative to attend and vote instead on your behalf. This Proxy Form may be completed online, mailed, hand delivered, or scanned and emailed in accordance with the instructions above.

    • A proxy can be any person of your choice and does not have to be a shareholder of Embark. If you wish you can appoint the Chairperson of the Meeting as your proxy. The Chairperson will vote in accordance with your instructions, or, failing your instruction, in accordance with the terms set out in note 4 of this Proxy Form.
  2. If you tick the box “discretion” on any resolution, you are directing your proxy or representative to decide how to vote on that resolution on your behalf. If you tick the “abstain” box on any resolution, you are directing your proxy or representative not to vote on that resolution. If you do not tick any boxes or your direction on how the proxy is to vote is unclear (in the Proxy’s sole opinion) in respect of a resolution, then the direction is to abstain. The Chairperson intends to vote all discretionary proxies in favour of the resolutions, other than Resolution 6.

  3. None of J 47 Pty Limited, the directors of Embark or any of their respective Associated Persons (as that term is defined in the NZX Listing Rules), is entitled to vote in respect of Resolution 6. Pursuant to NZX Listing Rule 6.3, each of these persons cannot act as a proxy in respect of Resolution 6 unless they are given express direction on how to vote.
