Resolution 5: Approval of the

NZ Rugby Rights Transaction

Special Resolution

The following explanatory notes are provided

for the purpose of assisting Shareholders to

understand the effect of the proposed special

resolution to approve the NZ Rugby Rights

Transaction (the Special Resolution) and therefore

to decide how to exercise their voting rights.

Certain information in relation to the NZ Rugby

Rights Transaction is confidential to the parties

or is commercially sensitive to Sky and therefore

will not be disclosed. Sky considers that these

explanatory notes provide sufficient information

to enable Shareholders to determine whether

or not to vote in favour of the NZ Rugby Rights

Transaction.

Capitalised terms used in these explanatory notes

have the meaning given in the Definitions on page

10 of these explanatory notes, or as otherwise

defined within these explanatory notes.

Directors’ recommendation to approve the

Special Resolution

The Board fully supports the Special Resolution and

unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote

in favour of the Special Resolution. Directors have

indicated they will vote all Sky shares they hold (or

in respect of which they hold discretionary proxies)

in favour of the Special Resolution.

Overview of the NZ Rugby Rights

Transaction

Sky and NZ Rugby (on behalf of SANZAAR Rugby

Unions) have reached agreement on the terms of

a five-year broadcast partnership, commencing

January 2026 following expiry of the Current

SANZAAR Rights, which agreement is conditional

on Sky Shareholder approval and subject to final

documentation. Accordingly, Shareholders are now

being asked to approve the proposed acquisition

by Sky of the New Zealand media rights for certain

rugby matches and competitions played in the

period from 1 January 2026 up to 31 December

2030 (referred to as the

Next Rights Period) that

are controlled by the SANZAAR Rugby Unions

(including those secured from the Nations Cup

Unions), which will include rights for the Matches

described below (which is collectively referred to as

the

NZ Rugby Rights Transaction).

Under the NZ Rugby Rights Transaction, Sky

will secure the New Zealand media rights to an

impressive array of rugby for Sky customers,

including established competitions and tours and a

number of new competition formats.

The Matches are expected to include:

International competitions

• Every All Blacks match played in the SANZAAR

countries, including:

º The Bledisloe Cup and The Rugby

Championship, and

º New tours between the Springboks and All

Blacks.

• The new biennial men’s tournament featuring

12 teams across two conferences from the Six

Nations and Southern Hemisphere Unions,

culminating with a grand final series (the new

‘Nations Championship’ tournament, when

finalised).

• The 2029 British & Irish Lions tour to New

Zealand.

• More Black Ferns matches than ever before,

including all matches from:

º The Pacific Four Series

º New September/October internationals, and

º The British & Irish Lions Women’s tour in

2027.

• Māori All Blacks, All Blacks XV and Black Ferns

matches played in the SANZAAR countries.

Club and domestic competitions

• Every match from Super Rugby Pacific, Super

Rugby Aupiki and Super W (and any new

competition featuring Super Rugby teams).

• Every match from the National Provincial

Championship (NPC), selected matches from

the Farah Palmer Cup and the finals of the

Heartland Championship.

6
SKY NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 2025

The Matches secured as part of the NZ Rugby

Rights Transaction will complement Sky’s strong

offer of world class Rugby rights, including Men’s

and Women’s World Cups.

Key Terms of NZ Rugby Rights Transaction

The consideration payable for the Next NZ Rugby

Rights is confidential between the parties and is

commercially sensitive information for Sky and it

would not be in the best interests of Shareholders

to disclose that information. However, Sky provides

the following context for Shareholders as to the

value of the Next NZ Rugby Rights which will be

paid by Sky under the NZ Rugby Rights Transaction:

• Shareholder approval to Sky’s entry into the

NZ Rugby Rights Transaction is required under

section 129 of the Companies Act 1993 because

the value of the assets to be acquired by Sky

(being the Next NZ Rugby Rights) is more

than half the value of Sky’s assets before the

acquisition and because Sky will incur obligations

or liabilities (being principally the obligation to

pay for the Next NZ Rugby Rights and related

production obligations) in excess of half the value

of Sky’s assets before the transaction. As at 30

June 2025, Sky’s total assets in its Consolidated

Balance Sheet was $672,867,000.

• Shareholder approval to Sky’s entry into the NZ

Rugby Rights Transaction is also required under

NZX Listing Rule 5.1.1 because the “Gross Value”

of the assets to be acquired by Sky (being the

Next NZ Rugby Rights) exceeds 50% of Sky’s

“Average Market Capitalisation” (as those

terms are defined in the NZX Listing Rules).

As at 21 August 2025, Sky’s Average Market

Capitalisation was $410,271,530.

• Sky remains committed to its target of

maintaining its total programming costs to

between 47% and 49% of Sky’s annual revenue.

Sky’s revenue guidance for FY26 of between $745

to $770 million includes the costs associated with

the NZ Rugby Rights Transaction in FY26. The

consideration payable under the NZ Rugby Rights

Transaction is expected to be made in monthly

instalments spread over the term of the contract

(60 months), and will be budgeted for and paid

from working capital.

As the holder of the Next NZ Rugby Rights, Sky

will have the right to access the venues at which

Matches are played during the Next Rights Period,

for the purpose of accessing or producing audio-

visual and audio-only coverage of those matches,

together with the ability and right to distribute and

exhibit that coverage in New Zealand. Sky will also

have responsibility for producing coverage of those

matches played in New Zealand (or alternatively

will have the right to access coverage of those

matches).

Sky will be able to distribute and exploit audio-

visual and/or audio only coverage of the Matches

in New Zealand by the licensed platforms and

distribution methods, which will include:

• Various forms of television, including pay and

free-to-air television, and radio;

• Distribution via streaming services, mobile,

broadband, satellite and digital territorial

transmissions;

• Distribution live, delayed and via highlights; and

• Distribution on an on-demand basis.

While the Next NZ Rugby Rights will be granted on

an exclusive basis:

• There will be limited use rights granted in favour

of the SANZAAR Rugby Unions (e.g. to help

promote the game) and other parties such as

Rugby Union sponsors and other licensees of the

SANZAAR Rugby Unions;

• To support the visibility and growth of domestic

rugby, the NZ Rugby Rights Transaction will

enable the sublicense of a selection of live

domestic matches to free-to-air broadcaster

TVNZ (with Sky also providing that content via

Sky’s pay channels and services); and

• NZ Rugby has reserved the right to play up to

five offshore All Blacks and Black Ferns matches

respectively over the five-year term from outside

the scheduled competitions, to support its efforts

to increase its revenue base. New Zealand rights

to broadcast such matches will be negotiated on

a match-by-match basis at the time.

The NZ Rugby Rights Transaction will also give Sky

access to, and the right to distribute and exhibit

within New Zealand, audio-visual coverage of

Archive Matches.

SKY NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 2025

Business As Usual

The NZ Rugby Rights Transaction represents an

activity undertaken by Sky in the ordinary course

of business and, importantly, is not the result of

any change or shift in Sky’s strategy or rights

acquisition activities. Sky has a longstanding

commercial relationship with the SANZAAR Rugby

Unions and has held the SANZAAR Rights since

1996. In this time, Sky has always been successful in

acquiring the SANZAAR Rights and has done so in

six five-year blocks covering the periods 1996-2000,

2001-2005, 2006-2010, 2011-2015, 2016-2020 and

2021-2025. The NZ Rugby Rights Transaction will

involve acquiring the Next NZ Rugby Rights for the

Next Rights Period.

The NZ Rugby Rights Transaction is consistent

with Sky’s business strategy of acquiring and

distributing content rights and is very much within

the core expertise, responsibility and accountability

of Sky’s executive management team and Board.

Content acquisition is a fundamental and essential

aspect of Sky’s business, which Sky has 35 years’

experience of.

Other considerations include:

• The NZ Rugby Rights Transaction does not involve

the immediate expenditure of large amounts

of Company funds given that payments will be

spread over the term of the contract.

• Sky’s total programming costs are disclosed in

the annual and half year reports and are carefully

budgeted and managed by Sky’s executive

management team and the Board. As noted

above, Sky remains committed to achieving its

target for programming costs of between 47%

and 49% of revenue, which is consistent with its

FY26 forecasts.

• The Directors have duties to act in the best

interest of Sky and have approved entry into the

NZ Rugby Rights Transaction on terms that they

believe are commercially sensible for Sky and in

its best interests.

Requirements for Shareholder approval

Under section 129 of the Companies Act, a company

must not enter into a major transaction unless

the transaction is approved, or is conditional on

approval, by a special resolution of the company’s

shareholders. For the purposes of the Companies

Act, a major transaction includes the acquisition

of, or an agreement to acquire, assets the value of

which is more than half the value of the company’s

assets before the acquisition. A major transaction

also includes a transaction that has, or is likely

to have, the effect of the company incurring

obligations or liabilities the value of which is more

than half the value of the company’s assets before

the transaction.

As at 30 June 2025, Sky’s total assets in its

Consolidated Balance Sheet was $672,867,000.

As noted above, the market value of the asset it

wishes to acquire (being the Next NZ Rugby Rights)

and the value of the obligations or liabilities it will

incur (being the obligation to pay for the Next NZ

Rugby Rights and related production obligations)

pursuant to the NZ Rugby Rights Transaction is

more than half the market value of Sky’s total

assets. Accordingly, approval to Sky’s entry into

the NZ Rugby Rights Transaction is required

under section 129 of the Companies Act by special

resolution of Shareholders.

Under NZX Listing Rule 5.1.1(b), a listed issuer must

obtain shareholder approval by way of an ordinary

resolution of shareholders for an acquisition of

assets in respect of which the “Gross Value” exceeds

50% of the issuer’s “Average Market Capitalisation”

(as those terms are defined in the NZX Listing

Rules), provided that where approval is required

by special resolution under section 129 of the

Companies Act for that acquisition (as is the case

for the NZ Rugby Rights Transaction) the approval

threshold under NZX Listing Rule 5.1.1 will also be a

special resolution of Shareholders. As at 21 August

2025, Sky’s Average Market Capitalisation was

$410,271,530. As noted above, the Gross Value of

the assets to be acquired by Sky (being the Next

NZ Rugby Rights) exceeds 50% of Sky’s Average

Market Capitalisation. Accordingly, approval to

Sky’s entry into the NZ Rugby Rights Transaction

is required under NZX Listing Rule 5.1.1 by special

resolution of Shareholders.

Shareholder approval was given by way of special

resolution on 17 October 2019 for Sky to acquire the

Current SANZAAR Rights.

8
SKY NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 2025

Consequences if the Special Resolution

is passed

If Shareholders approve the Special Resolution

by the requisite majority, Sky will take steps

to formally document the NZ Rugby Rights

Transaction on terms materially consistent with

those detailed in these explanatory notes.

If the Special Resolution is passed, any Shareholder

who votes all of their shares against the special

resolution will be able to require Sky to purchase

their shares (or arrange for their purchase) as

further detailed under the Minority Buy-out Rights

section below.

Consequences if the Special Resolution

is not passed

If Shareholder approval to the NZ Rugby Rights

Transaction is not obtained, the Board will continue

to have discretion to acquire the Next NZ Rugby

Rights but only for a total consideration which does

not trigger the requirement to obtain Shareholder

approval under the Companies Act or the NZX

Listing Rules. In this case, it becomes more unlikely

that Sky will be able to acquire the Next NZ Rugby

Rights. This is because Sky anticipates the market

value of the Next NZ Rugby Rights and their

purchase price could be higher than the relevant

thresholds and details of what Sky can bid will

become transparent, allowing competitors to

anticipate and outbid Sky. While this is a matter for

the SANZAAR Rugby Unions to determine, in Sky’s

opinion, it is likely that the SANZAAR Rugby Unions

will either wish to sell the Next NZ Rugby Rights

in one transaction to one primary rights holder,

as they have done since 1996, rather than splitting

those rights up into different packages, or choose

to exploit those rights direct to consumer.

To date, the SANZAAR Rights cannot be replicated

from other sources and have always been granted

on an exclusive basis in New Zealand, reflecting the

value and commercial opportunity that exclusivity

provides. This maximises the value of the rights

since it creates certainty for the rights holder, and

it is likely that this will continue (other than with

the specific carve-outs mentioned above, including

a free-to-air sublicence for provincial matches). As

a result, if the Special Resolution is not approved

and Sky does not become the holder of the Next

NZ Rugby Rights, Sky expects there would be no

alternative means of acquiring the Next NZ Rugby

Rights as they are likely to be sold to another party

on an exclusive basis and/or exploited direct to

consumer by one or more of the SANZAAR Rugby

Unions. This is expected to have an adverse impact

on Sky and Shareholders.

Minority Buy-out Rights

Section 110 of the Companies Act may confer

minority buy-out rights on Shareholders who vote

against the Special Resolution.

For a Shareholder to exercise those minority buy-

out rights, the Shareholder must cast all the votes

attached to shares registered in the Shareholder’s

name and having the same beneficial owner

against the Special Resolution. If the Special

Resolution is nevertheless passed, a Shareholder

who wishes to exercise minority buy-out rights

must, within 10 working days of the passing of

the Special Resolution, give written notice to Sky

that the Shareholder requires Sky to purchase the

Shareholder’s shares.

Within 20 working days of receipt of the notice, the

Board of Sky must:

a. Agree to the purchase of the relevant shares by

Sky; or

b. Arrange for some other person to agree to

purchase the relevant shares; or

c. Apply to the court for an order exempting Sky

from the obligation to purchase the relevant

shares on the grounds that the purchase would

be disproportionately damaging to Sky or that

Sky cannot reasonably be required to finance the

purchase or it would not be just and equitable

to require Sky to purchase the relevant shares

or on the grounds that the Board has resolved

that the purchase of the relevant shares by Sky

would result in it failing to satisfy the solvency

test and Sky has, having made reasonable efforts

to do so, been unable to arrange for the relevant

shares to be purchased by another person; or

9
SKY NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 2025

d. Arrange for the Special Resolution to be

rescinded by special resolution of Shareholders,

or decide in the appropriate manner not to take

the action concerned, as the case may be; and

e. Give written notice to the Shareholder of the

Board’s decision as to which of the above actions

it will take.

Where the Board agrees to the purchase of the

relevant shares by Sky, it must give notice to the

relevant Shareholder within five working days

after the written notice of the Board’s decision

referred to in the preceding paragraph, setting out

the price the Board offers to pay for those shares

and certain information relating to how that price

was calculated. That price must be a fair and

reasonable price (as at the close of business on

the day before the Special Resolution was passed)

for the relevant shares held by the Shareholder,

calculated (subject to the following two sentences)

using a default methodology described in the

Companies Act designed to allocate to the relevant

shares held by the Shareholder a pro rata portion

of the fair and reasonable value of all shares in Sky

adjusted to exclude any fluctuation in the value of

all Shares that occurred and that was due to, or in

expectation of, the NZ Rugby Rights Transaction.

The Board may use a different methodology to

calculate the fair and reasonable price if using

the default methodology would be clearly unfair

to the Shareholder or Sky (and in that case the

Board must also state in the notice that a different

methodology has been used and why calculating

the price under the default methodology would be

clearly unfair).

A Shareholder may object to the price offered by

the Board by giving written notice to Sky no later

than 10 working days after the date the Board

gave written notice to the Shareholder of the price

offered by the Board. If, within that 10-working

day period, no objection to the price offered by the

Board has been received by Sky, it must purchase

the relevant Shareholder’s shares at the nominated

price. If, within that 10-working day period, an

objection to the price has been received by Sky, the

fair and reasonable price offered by the Board must

be submitted to arbitration. Sky must within five

working days of receiving the objection pay to the

Shareholder on a provisional basis the price offered

by the Board.

The arbitration is to be conducted in accordance

with the Arbitration Act 1996. If the price

determined by the arbitrator:

a. Exceeds the provisional price paid by Sky,

then the arbitrator must order Sky to pay the

balance owing to the Shareholder; or

b. Is less than the provisional price paid by Sky,

then the arbitrator must order the Shareholder

to pay the excess to Sky.

Except in exceptional circumstances, the arbitrator

must award interest on any balance payable or

excess to be repaid.

If a balance is owing to the Shareholder, the

arbitrator may award to the Shareholder, in

addition to or instead of interest, damages for loss

attributable to the shortfall in the initial payment.

Where the Board agrees to the purchase of the

relevant shares by Sky, on the day on which the

Board gives written notice of the Board’s decision

to the purchase of the relevant shares by Sky, the

legal title to those shares passes to Sky and the

rights of the relevant Shareholder in relation to

those shares end.

If the Board arranges for some other person to

agree to purchase the shares, the process and

terms set out in the paragraphs above apply (with

such modifications as may be necessary) to the

purchase of shares by such person. In addition, Sky

must indemnify the Shareholder in respect of any

losses suffered by the Shareholder by reason of the

failure by the person to purchase the shares at the

price nominated or fixed by arbitration, as the case

may be.

If you do not plan to attend the meeting, you may appoint a proxy. A proxy need not be

a shareholder of the Company. The Chair of the meeting, or any other director, is willing

to act as proxy for any shareholder who wishes to appoint them for that purpose. To do

this, enter ‘the Chair’ or the name of your proxy in the space allocated in ‘Step 1’ of

this form.

If you do not name a person as your proxy, but otherwise complete the

Proxy/Voting Form in full, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair

will be appointed your proxy and will vote in accordance with your express direction

(subject to any voting prohibitions).

Please note that you may still attend the meeting virtually should you appoint a proxy

noting that you will not be able to vote if a proxy has been appointed.

Voting of your holding

Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item

of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain from voting as

they choose to the extent permitted by law and the relevant listing rules. If you mark

more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Attending the Meeting and voting in person

If you propose to attend the Annual Meeting in person, please bring this Proxy/Voting

Form to the meeting and hand this form to Computershare at the entrance to the
