STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT 25 August 2020 Closing date for director nominations and ASM date The period for nomination of directors to Chorus' Board opens today and closes 5.00pm New Zealand time on Tuesday 8 September 2020. Nominations may only be made by a shareholder entitled to attend and vote at Chorus' Annual Shareholders' Meeting (ASM) to be held at 10.30am (NZ time) on Friday 6 November 2020.

To facilitate this we have moved the ASM back from originally advised date of 29 October 2020. Full details of how to attend the virtual ASM will be provided in our notice of meeting. Chorus has been granted a waiver from the NZX listing rules relating to restrictions on the persons who may be appointed as directors.
