  1. The resolutions will be voted on by shareholders of the Company as ordinary resolutions.
  2. An ordinary resolution is a resolution passed by a simple majority of the votes cast of the shareholders entitled to vote and voting.
  3. The only persons entitled to vote at the annual meeting are registered shareholders as at 5:00 pm on Monday 15 August 2022 and only the ordinary shares registered in those shareholders' names may be voted at the annual meeting.
  4. Any shareholder who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf. A shareholder wishing to appoint a proxy should complete the enclosed Voting/Proxy form and send it to Computershare Investor Services Limited, Private Bag 92119, Auckland 1142, New

Zealand, or lodge online using Computershare's investorvote facility so as to ensure that it is received at least 48 hours before the time for holding the meeting. A proxy does not have to be a shareholder in the Company. A shareholder may appoint any person to act as a proxy. The Chairman or any of the other Directors is prepared to, act as a discretionary proxy for any shareholder. If, in appointing a proxy, you have inadvertently not named someone to be your proxy (either online or on the enclosed proxy form), or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chairman of the meeting will be your proxy and will vote in accordance with your express direction. If appointed as a discretionary proxy, each Director intends to vote in favour of all resolutions.

  1. To direct your proxy how to vote on each resolution, you should tick the appropriate box on the enclosed proxy form. Except as set out in the proxy form, if you appoint a proxy, but do not tick one of the boxes in relation to a resolution, you will be deemed to have granted your proxy the discretion to cast your votes as he or she decides.
  2. Any corporation that is a shareholder may appoint a person as its representative to attend the annual meeting and vote on its behalf, in the same manner as that in which it could appoint a proxy. A corporation wishing to appoint a person must ensure that the representative brings an original of the notice appointing him or her to the meeting. To assist administration, the Company would be grateful if notices appointing representatives are delivered to Computershare Investor Services Limited, Private Bag 92119, Auckland 1142, New Zealand, at least 48 hours before the time of the meeting. If the notice of appointment is not delivered to the Company's Share Registrar prior to the meeting, the representative must bring to the meeting an original copy of the notice of appointment signed by the relevant Company or body corporate.

EXPLANATORY NOTES TO NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

AUDITORS

Resolution 1

Baker Tilley Staples Rodway is automatically reappointed as auditor of the Company under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. The proposed resolution seeks shareholder confirmation of this and empowers the Directors to set the remuneration of the auditors.

DIRECTORS

Under rule 2.7.1 of the NZX Listing Rules (the Listing Rules), a director must not hold office past the third annual meeting following appointment or three years, whichever is longer, without being re-elected by shareholders. Accordingly, Grant Baker and Alistair Petrie retire and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. The Board unanimously supports their respective re-elections.

Brief biographies outlining Grant Baker's and Alistair Petrie's histories and experience are set out below.

Resolution 2

Grant Baker retires by rotation pursuant to the Listing Rules, and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election as a director.

Grant Baker has wide experience at a senior level in both public and private New Zealand companies. He has been involved in a number of successful ventures, including 42 Below Vodka and Trilogy International. He is chairman on NZX listed Me Today Limited and was chairman of 42 Below Vodka and Trilogy International.

With a 7.49% shareholding, Grant is a long term committed investor in Turners Automotive Group and has been Chairman of Turners Automotive Group since September 2009. As an avid collector of specialist vehicles and a motor racing enthusiast, both as a competitor and as a backer of young up and coming drivers. He is currently chairman of the Liam Lawson Supporters Partnership and is passionate about the strong Turners brand and its focus on cars.

In terms of the Listing Rules, the Board considers that Grant Baker is a non-executive Director but is not independent.

Resolution 3

Alistair Petrie retires by rotation pursuant to the Listing Rules, and being eligible, has offered himself for re-election.

Alistair Petrie has over 15 years of senior management experience in both private and listed companies in the agribusiness sector. He has extensive knowledge in sales and marketing in both international and domestic environments, which is particularly useful for some of the challenges and opportunities Turners has importing vehicles from Japan. He has a number of directorships with companies that have a focus on growth and innovation, and he represents the interests of Bartel Holdings, which has a 11.55% shareholding in Turners Automotive Group. Alistair worked for many years at Turners & Growers, the original parent company of Turners Auctions, which provides a nice connection at Board level back to

those foundational brand values of "trust and integrity". Alistair has a BSC (hons) from Newcastle Upon

Tyne University and an EMBA from Melbourne University.

In terms of the Listing Rules, the Board considers that Alistair Petrie is a non-executive Director but is not independent.
