GROUPGROUP
Dear fellow shareholder,
It is my pleasure, on behalf of the Board, to invite you to the 2025 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting
of The Warehouse Group Limited. The meeting will be held on Friday 28 November 2025 at
10:00am (New Zealand time), at our Store Support Office at 26 The Warehouse Way, Northcote,
Auckland, New Zealand and online through the MUFG Pension & Market Services meeting
platform at www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/whs25.
Please see the Notice of Meeting for information on how to participate online.
Group Chief Executive Officer, Mark Stirton, and I will review the performance of the Company
during the year to 3 August 2025 and provide you with an update on the Company strategy.
Agenda items for this meeting relate to the re-election of directors and authorisation for
directors to fix the fees and expenses of the external auditor.
In accordance with the requirements of the NZX Listing Rules, Caroline Rainsford and I,
Dame Joan Withers, will each retire from the Board at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
Caroline Rainsford offers herself for re-election. As previously disclosed, I will not be seeking
re-election. The Board has appointed John Journee to take over as Chair, effective from the
close of the meeting.
Robbie Tindall has also made the decision to retire from the Board effective from the close of
the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.
In addition, the Board appointed Hamish Rumbold as a director effective 1 November 2025,
and, as required by the NZX Listing Rules, Hamish Rumbold will also retire and offers himself
for re-election. The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Caroline Rainsford and
Hamish Rumbold.
All shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity to ask general questions. You will also be
able to ask relevant questions of the auditor’s representative.
We invite you to submit questions in advance of the meeting by emailing your questions to
investors@thewarehouse.co.nz or by writing to the Company Secretary, The Warehouse Group
Limited, PO Box 33470, Takapuna, Auckland 0740, New Zealand.
We will collate the main themes of the questions and respond to them at the meeting, on the
basis that the Company reserves the right not to address questions that were not received by
the close of business on Friday, 21 November 2025 (noting that the questions may be raised by
a shareholder at the meeting), or questions which, in the Chair’s opinion, are not reasonable or
appropriate in the context of an Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

behalf. If you wish to appoint a proxy you must complete and lodge the Proxy Form (in one of the

a proxy you should complete the proxy form that accompanies this Notice of Meeting. Alternatively, you can lodge

Any corporation that is a shareholder of the Company may appoint a person as its representative to attend the
meeting and vote on its behalf, in the same manner as that in which it could appoint a proxy.
The appointment of a proxy or representative does not preclude a shareholder from attending and voting at
the meeting.
You may appoint the Chair of the meeting or any director, or any other person, as your proxy. The Chair and
directors intend to vote any discretionary proxies, for which they have authority to vote, in favour of the resolutions.
A proxy will not be entitled to vote at the meeting unless a properly completed proxy form has been received by the
Company at the office of the Company’s share registrar, MUFG Pension & Market Services, not less than 48 hours
before the commencement of the meeting, that is not later than 10:00am (New Zealand time) on Wednesday

a shareholder’s named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the meeting will act as that shareholder’s
proxy and will vote in accordance with that shareholder’s express direction.

than one election in respect of a resolution your vote will be invalid on that
