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 participate in the Annual Meeting online via the Computershare Meeting Platform https://meetnow.global/nz. However, if there exists uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 pandemic, or if Government restrictions mean that an inperson meeting cannot take place, the Company will need to move to a virtual only Annual Meeting. In those circumstances, the Company will provide shareholders with as much notice as is reasonably practical by way of an announcement to the NZX and details posted on the Company’s website.

In order to participate remotely, shareholders should visit https://meetnow.global/nz on their desktop or mobile device and click “Go” under the Kingfish meeting and then click “JOIN MEETING NOW”. By using the meeting platform, you will be able to watch the meeting, vote and ask questions online using your smartphone, tablet or desktop device. Please refer to the enclosed Virtual Meeting Guide for more information. You will need the latest version of Chrome, Safari or Edge to access the meeting. Please ensure your browser is compatible.

If shareholders have any questions or need assistance with the online process, please contact Computershare on 0800 650 034 or +64 9 488 8777 (outside of NZ) 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 prior to the Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

Shareholders will require their CSN/Securityholder Number, which can be found on their proxy form, for verification purposes.

The safety of our shareholders remains our key focus and if anyone is feeling unwell they must not attend the meeting in person.

The Annual Meeting will follow any Ministry of Health COVID-19 guidelines that exist at the time of the meeting.
