NOTICE OF 2023 ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

Notice is hereby given that the 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of MOVE Logistics Group Limited (the “Company” or “MOVE“) will be held on Wednesday 25 October 2023, commencing at 2:30pm.

Venue: Balmerino Room

Riccarton Park Function Centre Main Club Grandstand (Gate 4) 165 Racecourse Rd, Broomfield Christchurch

Dear Shareholder

On behalf of the Board and management, I am pleased to invite you to MOVE Logistics Group Limited’s 2023 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in Christchurch. This will be held both online and in person, to allow as many of our shareholders as possible to join us.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be able to meet MOVE’s new CEO, Craig Evans. Under Craig’s leadership, MOVE has commenced Project Blueprint, a 12 – 18 month dual pathway programme to reshape and strengthen the business, and drive growth. This will create a strong launch pad to support our future ambitions, with a more efficient, higher margin business model, that capitalises on MOVE’s strengths.

I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge and thank outgoing Director, Danny Chan, who is stepping down at the end of the Meeting. Danny joined the Board when MOVE first listed in 2017 and has provided valued governance and advice as the company has evolved.

If you elect to attend the Meeting virtually, you will be able to watch the Meeting live, vote and ask questions online.

We encourage shareholders to receive communications from MOVE by email. This ensures you receive communications in a timely manner, saves money and is better for the environment. To sign up for email communications, please follow the instructions on page 2 of the Proxy Form.

If you cannot attend, we encourage you to complete and lodge the proxy form in accordance with the instructions on the back of that form.

We look forward to welcoming you to the Meeting.

EXPLANATORY NOTES

In these explanatory notes, references to “Listing Rules” are to the NZX Listing Rules. All resolutions are Ordinary Resolutions and require approval by a simple majority (greater than 50%) of the votes of those shareholders entitled to vote and voting on the resolution.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

RESOLUTION 1: FIX THE REMUNERATION OF THE AUDITOR

The Companies Act 1993 requires the Company to appoint an auditor and provides that the fees and expenses of an auditor appointed at an Annual Meeting can be fixed in the manner determined at that Meeting. Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 provides that the remuneration of the auditor is to be fixed in such a manner as the company determines at the Meeting. The Board proposes that, consistent with commercial practice, the auditor’s remuneration should be fixed by the Directors.

The resolution authorises the Board to fix the auditor’s remuneration. PriceWaterhouseCoopers is automatically reappointed as the Company’s auditor.

RESOLUTION 2: ELECTION OF JULIA RAUE AS A DIRECTOR

The Listing Rules require that any person who is appointed as a Director by the Board shall retire from office at the next Annual Shareholders’ Meeting but shall be eligible for election at that Meeting. Julia Raue was appointed to the Board during the year and accordingly, is standing for election by shareholders.

The Board has determined that Julia is an Independent Director. In order for a Director to be independent, the Board must determine that he or she is not an executive of MOVE and has no disqualifying relationship or interests, including relationships or interests of the kind listed in Table 2.4 of the NZX Corporate Governance Code.

JULIA RAUE

APPOINTED: 3 May 2023

BOARD ROLES: Independent Director, member of the Governance and Remuneration Committee

Julia has a strong background in business transformation and digital change and was Chief Information Officer at Air New Zealand for nine years, winning a number of global Awards during that time, including NZ CIO of the year. She has significant governance experience across a variety of sectors, including current directorships with Southern Cross, The Warehouse Group, Jade Software and Global Women. Previously Julia has been a director of Z Energy and TVNZ.

Tēnā koutou shareholders,

On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to advise that the MOVE Logistics Group Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2023 (FY23) is available to view on our website, along with the FY23 results announcement and Investor presentation, at https://www.movelogistics.com/investors.

We remain committed to delivering exceptional value to our customers, nurturing our talented team, and ensuring the long-term success and prosperity of our company.

Following the appointment of Craig Evans as CEO in February 2023, an indepth business review was conducted. In late FY23, we embarked on Project Blueprint, a 12 to 18 month dual pathway programme to reshape and strengthen our business, and drive organic growth. Our focus remains on embedding change, improving productivity, driving revenue and delivering customer service excellence.

Businesses are telling us they want a strong alternative in the market; a provider who is focused on New Zealand customers, with a breadth of product and service capability, and who can move quickly to deliver a solution that is tailored to their needs. MOVE is well positioned to meet their expectations.

We look forward to welcoming you to the MOVE Logistics Group Annual Shareholders’ Meeting at 2:30pm on Wednesday 25 October 2023 in Christchurch.

We thank our shareholders for your ongoing support and trust in our abilities. Together, we will continue moving the dial as we unlock our potential and chart a clear path toward long-term profitability and shareholder value.

----- End of picture text -----

FY23 sales revenue of $343.9m and Normalised EBITDA[1 ] of $47.4m reflects investment in future growth initiatives, moderating consumer demand in response to economic conditions, the ongoing Freight improvement programme and weather events.

All businesses, excluding Freight, delivered revenue gains, with Contract Logistics, MOVE’s largest division, delivering a solid year on year performance, helping to offset a soft result from the Freight division.

Investment in future growth includes MOVE’s new trans-Tasman shipping service, fleet upgrades, technology and talented people.

Our focus is on organic growth and increasing our share of higher value, higher margin business. We are investing in and expanding our core competencies, and are looking to work in partnership with best-in-class providers to ensure the optimal solution for our customers. This will help us grow while preserving our capital.

We are building our multimodal offer, with the launch of the new Oceans trans-Tasman shipping service and increased collaboration across the group to create a one stop shop for end to end supply chain solutions. The Specialist division was welcomed back into the group following review.

The digital transformation is continuing with the successful pilot of the new transport management system (FuseIT) and investment in hardware.

The leadership team has been refreshed with the appointment of Craig Evans as CEO from February 2023, as well as new leadership of our Freight business, a new GM People & Culture, and the appointment of a National Sales Manager who will start with MOVE in October.

Project Blueprint initiatives already in play are delivering early benefits, including improved cost disciplines, stronger leadership across the business and a continuing transition from silo businesses to a unified group which allows us to better service our customers and enhances our end to end supply chain solution.

1 Normalised EBITDA excludes non-trading adjustments of $1.7m pre-tax related to restructuring and resetting the business as part of the strategic plan. Further details and reconciliation included in appendix to the FY23 Results presentation.
