3 questions lodged at 2024 Endeavour Group hybrid AGM

Q1. Did any of the 5 main proxy advisers - ACSI, Ownership Matters, Glass Lewis, ISS and ASA - recommend a vote against any of today's resolutions, including this rem report item? If so, what reasons did they give and have their been any material protest votes? Please don't say they are confidential. It is standard for companies to be across this detail on the voting recommendations and inform shareholders where relevant without publishing the full proxy adviser reports, of course.

Answer: The chair provided a good summary of the proxy adviser positions. Watch video of exchange via Twitter.

Q2. Could Ari please comment on how hands on he intends to be as Endeavour Group chair, particularly given his CEO history at CUB and Accolade Wines where he was executive chair. Given his industry expertise, does he regard himself as being more hands on than our previous chair? Also, could Ari please outline his full history with our largest shareholder, the Bruce Mathieson Group. Will he be as strong in standing up to the Mathiesons as Peter Hearl?

Answer: The chair played a very straight bat. Watch video of exchange via Twitter.

Q3. This question is not strictly related to Peter Margin's election but is related to the broader issue of board appointments. Could Peter and the chair comment on why there was such a large gap between the resignation of Bruce Mathieson junior from the board on June 30 and the appointment of Peter Hardy as his replacement nominee for the Bruce Mathieson Group. After all those public fights last year, this appointment had to be by agreement. Did we veto Ross Blair Holt after his criticisms at last year's AGM?

Answer: The chair Ari Mervis played a straight bat. Watch video of exchange via Twitter.
