As such, notice is hereby given that the AGM of the Company for the Financial Year will be held on 25 May 2022 at 11.00am (AEST) for the purposes of transacting the business set out in this notice.

Additional details on voting in advance or appointing a proxy are set out on page 3 of this notice.

4. Members are encouraged to submit questions ahead of the AGM to the Company (or the Company's Auditor), as there may not be sufficient time to respond to all questions raised during the AGM.

In accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth) and ASX Settlement Operating Rule 5.6.1, the Directors have determined that a shareholder's entitlement to vote at the AGM is as set out in the Company's share register as at 7:00pm (Melbourne time) on 23 May 2022. In the case of joint shareholders, all holders may attend the AGM but only one holder may vote at the AGM in respect of the relevant shares (including by proxy). If more than one joint holder is present, and more than one of the joint holders votes in respect of the relevant shares, only the vote of the joint holder whose name stands first in the register in respect of the relevant shares is counted. A corporate shareholder may appoint one or more persons to act as its representative(s), but only one representative may exercise the corporate shareholder's powers at any one time.

Information regarding voting

1.

Entitlement to attend and vote

Transactions involving shares in the Company registered after 7:00pm (Melbourne time) on 23 May 2022 will be disregarded in determining the shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the AGM.

2.

Vote or appoint a proxy prior to the AGM

Voting form: Shareholders who have registered a preference for electronic communication will be able to access an electronic voting form that will enable a direct vote or a proxy appointment. A voting form will accompany this notice if you receive paper-based communications.

Appointing a proxy: If you are entitled to attend and vote at the AGM, you may appoint:

• • a person; or

• • if the shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes at the AGM, two persons,

as your proxy or proxies to attend and vote for you at the AGM. A "person" can be an individual or a body corporate; if you appoint a body corporate as a proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that it appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the AGM and provide satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to the commencement of the AGM, in accordance with the instructions set out in Note 3 below. A proxy need not be a shareholder.

Maximum of two proxies: You may appoint a maximum of two proxies and may state on the proxy form what proportion or number of your votes each proxy is being appointed to exercise. If you appoint two proxies and do not specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise, each of the proxies may exercise half of your votes.

Deadline for receipt: The Company must receive at least 48 hours before the AGM (ie. by 11:00am (Melbourne time) on 23 May 2022):

• • your completed voting form; and

• • if you sign under power of attorney or corporate representative, that power of attorney or corporate representative appointment or a certified copy of it.

Any voting form received after this deadline will be invalid.

  C/ - Link Market Services Limited Locked Bag A14

• • sent by fax to the Company's registry on [phone]; or

• • lodged online atwww.linkmarketservices.com.au.

How and when a proxy must vote: If the appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution:

• • if the proxy is not the Chair of the AGM, the proxy need not vote on a poll but if the proxy does so, the proxy must vote as directed (subject to any applicable voting restrictions); and

• • if the proxy is the Chair of the AGM, the proxy must vote on a poll and must vote as directed.

Default to the Chairman of the meeting: If:

• • a shareholder has appointed a proxy other than the Chair of the AGM; and

• • the shareholder's proxy either:

  • o is not recorded as attending the AGM; or

  • o attends the AGM but does not vote on the resolution,

then the Chair of the AGM will, before voting on the resolution closes, be taken to have been appointed as the proxy for that shareholder for the purposes of voting on that resolution. In these circumstances, the Chair of the AGM must vote in accordance with any written direction of that shareholder.

Directing proxy votes:

We encourage shareholders who are appointing proxies to direct their proxies how to vote on each resolution by crossing either a "For", "Against", or "Abstain" box before lodging their proxy form so that, subject to any applicable voting exclusions, their proxy will vote on their behalf in accordance with their instructions.

The Chair intends to vote undirected proxies on, and in favour of, all the proposed resolutions.

If there is a change in how the Chair intends to vote undirected proxies, the Company will make an announcement to the market.

3.

• • a "Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative", the form for which can be obtained from the Company's registry; or

• • a copy of the resolution appointing the representative, certified by a secretary or director of the corporation.

Explanatory notes on the business to be transacted at the AGM

Item 1 - Consideration of Reports

Item 2 - Remuneration Report

In accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) ("Corporations Act"), the Company is required to present the Company's Remuneration Report to shareholders for consideration and adoption at the AGM. The Remuneration Report is located on pages 36 to 48 of the Company's Annual Report for the Financial Year and is also available on the Company's websitewww.costagroup.com.au.

The Remuneration Report:

• • explains the structure of and rationale behind the Company's remuneration practices and the link between the remuneration of employees and the Company's performance;

• • sets out remuneration details for each director and each other member of the Company's key management personnel; and

• • confirms that the basis for remunerating non-executive Directors is distinct from the basis for remunerating executives, including executive Directors.

The remuneration framework adopted by the Board is designed to attract and retain key talent, reward the achievement of strategic objectives and align rewards with the creation of shareholder wealth. Where appropriate, the Company obtains independent input to confirm the appropriateness of these arrangements. Shareholders will have a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and comment on the Remuneration Report at the AGM. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. Nevertheless, the Board will take into account the outcome of the vote when considering the future remuneration arrangements of the Company. Further, under the Corporations Act if at least 25% of the votes cast on this resolution and the relevant resolution at next year's AGM are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report and nextyear's remuneration report, the Company will be required to put to shareholders a resolution proposing the calling of an extraordinary general meeting at which all Directors of the Company (other than the Managing Director) will cease to hold office and stand for re-election ("Spill Resolution"). In these circumstances, the Spill Resolution would need to be considered at next year's AGM.

Directors' recommendation

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as described in the Remuneration Report, the Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution in Item 2.

Voting Exclusion - Item 2

A vote must not be cast (in any capacity) on the resolution in Item 2, by or on behalf of a member or former member of the Company's key management personnel (including the Directors), details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report ("KMP") or their closely related parties, whether as a shareholder or as a proxy, except that a vote may be cast on the resolution in Item 2 by a KMP, or a closely related party of a KMP, if:

• • the vote is cast by a proxy for a person entitled to vote, and that person has directed the KMP or their closely related party (as proxy) how to vote on the item on the voting form; or

• • the Chair of the AGM, as proxy for a person entitled to vote, votes in accordance with an express authority on the voting form to vote undirected proxies as the Chair sees fit even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.
