Before making an investment decision, prospective investors should consider the appropriateness of the information having regard to their own objectives, financial situation and needs and consult an NZX Firm, ASX Broker, or solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser if necessary.

No guarantee

No person named in this presentation (nor any other person) guarantees the New Shares to be issued pursuant to the "Equity Raise" (as defined on page 3 of this presentation) or warrants the future performance of the Company or any return on any investment made pursuant to this presentation.

Future performance

This presentation includes certain "forward-looking statements". These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on EROAD's current expectations, estimates, beliefs, assumptions and projections about EROAD, the industry in which EROAD operates, the outcome and effects of the Equity Raise and use of proceeds. These forward-looking statements include statements about EROAD's expectations about the performance of EROAD's business, statements about the future performance of EROAD, and statements about the use of proceeds from the Equity Raise. Forward- looking statements can generally be identified by the use of forward looking words such as "anticipate", "believe", "expect", "project", "forecast", "estimate", "likely", "intend", "should", "will", "could", "may", "target", "plan" and other similar expressions within the meaning of securities laws of applicable jurisdictions. Indications of, and guidance or outlook on future earnings, distributions or financial position or performance are also forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond the control of EROAD, its directors and management, are difficult to predict and may involve significant elements of subjective judgment and assumptions as to future events which may not be correct and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in the forward-looking statements. EROAD cautions shareholders and prospective shareholders not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect EROAD's views only as of the date of this release. There can be no assurance that actual outcomes will not differ materially from these forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements made in this presentation relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. EROAD will not release publicly any revisions or updates to these forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or unanticipated events occurring after the date of this release except as required by law or by any appropriate regulatory authority.

Past performance

Investors should note that past performance, including past share price performance of EROAD is given for illustrative purposes only and cannot be relied upon as (and is not) an indicator of (and provides no guidance as to) future EROAD performance including future share price performance.

Accounting standards and adjustments

EROAD's financial statements are prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Practice in New Zealand ("NZ GAAP"). EROAD's financial statements comply with New Zealand equivalents to International Reporting Standards ("NZ IFRS") for Tier 1 entities, other New Zealand accounting standards, and authoritative notices that are applicable to entities that apply NZ IFRS. The financial statements also comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EROAD has used Non-GAAP Financial Measures (as defined in the Glossary of this Investor Presentation) when discussing financial performance in this presentation. The directors and management believe that these measures provide useful information as they are used internally to evaluate performance of business units, to establish operational goals and to allocate resources. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not prepared in accordance with NZ GAAP or NZ IFRS and do not have a standardised meaning prescribed by New Zealand Accounting Standards, therefore the Non- GAAP Financial Measures reported in this presentation may not be comparable with those that other companies report and should not be viewed in isolation or considered as a substitute for measures reported by EROAD in accordance with NZ IFRS. The Non-GAAP Financial Measures are not subject to audit or review and investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any Non-GAAP Financial Measures and ratios included in this presentation. Investors can find a reconciliation of certain of the FY23 Non-GAAP Financial Information included in this presentation to FY23 GAAP financial information on EROAD's website at www.EROADglobal.com/global/investors.

The Underwriters are acting as the joint lead managers and Underwriters of the Institutional Placement, the Institutional Offer and the Retail Offer. The Underwriters are acting for and providing services to the Company in relation to the Institutional Placement and the Entitlement Offer and will not be acting for or providing services to the Company's shareholders or creditors.

In connection with the Bookbuilds, one or more Institutional investors may elect to acquire an economic interest in the New Shares ("Economic Interest"), instead of subscribing for or acquiring the legal or beneficial interest in those securities. Each Underwriter (or its affiliates) may, for its own account, write derivative transactions with those investors relating to the New Shares to provide the Economic Interest, or otherwise acquire New Shares in connection with the writing of those derivative transactions in the Institutional Bookbuild and/or the secondary market. As a result of those transactions, each Underwriter (or its affiliates) may be allocated, subscribe for or acquire New Shares or securities of the Company in the Bookbuilds and/or the secondary market, including to hedge those derivative transactions, as well as hold long or short positions in those securities. These transactions may, together with other securities in the Company acquired by an Underwriter or its affiliates in connection with their ordinary course sales and trading, principal investing and other activities, result in an Underwriter or its affiliates disclosing a substantial holding and earning fees.

Determination of eligibility of investors for the purposes of the Equity Raise is determined by reference to a number of matters, including legal regimes and the discretion of the Underwriters. The Company, the Underwriters and their Extended Parties disclaim all liability in respect of the exercise or otherwise of that discretion to the maximum extent permitted by law.

This presentation has been authorised for release to NZX and ASX by the Company's Board of Directors.
