ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Share in the goodness MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021Dig in Welcome to our inaugural Annual Report and the next delicious phase of development for My Food Bag. During FY21, we experienced an acceleration in demand, as more customers trusted My Food Bag to deliver their meals. This growth can be attributed to the success of new products, particularly My Food Bag Choice, and the macro societal effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, which clearly led to faster adoption of online shopping. We’re excited about the opportunities ahead. We operate in a small but growing part of the $37 billion New Zealand retail food sector with considerable scope for expansion. My Food Bag leverages consumer demand for quality, locally sourced food ingredients that produce delicious recipes which make dinners easier. Our service is purchased online and the final product is delivered to customers’ doors every week. 1 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021CONTENTS Letter from the Chair Letter from the CEO Results at a Glance Key Achievements Sustainability, Community & People What Kiwis are Eating My Food Bag Operations Board of Directors Management Team Financial Performance Financial Statements Independent Auditor’s Report Corporate Governance Statement Other Disclosures Directory Key Dates This Annual Report is dated 26 May 2021 and is signed on behalf of the Board by: Tony Carter Chair Jen Bunbury Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee 3 4 6 9 12 20 22 30 32 34 35 64 68 80 90 90 2 When used in this Annual Report, references to the ‘Company’ are references to My Food Bag Group Limited.

MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021LETTER FROM THE CHAIR LET TER FROM THE CHAIR Freshly made On behalf of the Board, I am delighted to present My Food Bag’s inaugural Annual Report. In FY21, My Food Bag embarked on the next stage of its growth journey – listing on both the NZX and the ASX. In doing so, we welcomed thousands of new investors, many of them customers, who took the opportunity to be part of the My Food Bag whānau. Like them, I am excited about the future. My Food Bag is New Zealand’s longest-standing meal-kit provider, delivering nearly 88 million meals to more than 300,000 Kiwi households since launching eight years ago. We are proud to offer the broadest range of meal kits in New Zealand under the My Food Bag, Bargain Box and Fresh Start brands, and to give Kiwis a quality ready-made meal option through our brand MADE. But this is just the beginning. We have a proven track record of growth and will continue to innovate as well as offer increased choice across more products. We will continually exceed our customers’ expectations to make their lives easier. My Food Bag operates in the fast-growing online food delivery market. We are well placed to grow our profit in line with our forecast prior to listing and to keep growing post our PFI period. While FY21 has been successful, it has not been without its challenges. COVID-19 has tested us all in ways we could not have anticipated. First and foremost, we took steps to protect our staff, such as introducing additional personal protective equipment (PPE) and implementing social distancing within operational areas. At the same time, we managed a surge in demand for our meal kits from new, inactive and existing customers. Our staff and suppliers rose to this challenge and continued to deliver fresh and healthy meals to Kiwi doorsteps throughout various Alert Levels. I want to thank each member of our team for the incredible work and dedication they have exhibited during the year. I would also like to thank all our shareholders for their support since the IPO. We’re very pleased to confirm that our financial performance for FY21 has been stronger than forecast. We’re all working hard to ensure that the business grows well and expect that growth to be reflected in the share price over time. Finally, I wish to thank CEO Kevin Bowler, the Management Team as well as current and past Board members for their support. Like me, they are passionate about the future of My Food Bag and its ability to continue to support and inspire New Zealanders, one meal at a time. Tony Carter Chair 3 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021 LET TER FROM THE CEO Wellprepared In eight short years, My Food Bag has grown from a remarkable idea to a significant New Zealand food business, inspiring thousands of Kiwi families to be healthier and happier, simply by eating well. During FY21, we served more customers who purchased more from us than ever before, and we welcomed many new shareholders into the My Food Bag whānau. The FY21 result is favourable to our forecast for this period, marking an important milestone towards delivering the PFI laid out in our recent PDS. OPERATING AS AN ESSENTIAL SERVICE When New Zealand entered its Alert Level 4 lockdown in March 2020, My Food Bag was deemed an essential service. We immediately prioritised our team and contractors’ wellbeing and adopted new ways of working designed to keep our operational teams safe; for example, staggering shifts, increasing social distancing, temperature taking on arrival, increased PPE standards, screens between packing staff, coupled with a big effort on team member education. Meanwhile, our technology supported our normally office- based staff to work from their homes, enabling them to stay in their whānau ‘bubbles’. No My Food Bag staff member tested positive for COVID-19 during FY21. PRODUCT INNOVATION We have a proven track record of successfully bringing exciting products and recipes to market that cater to New Zealand’s changing food preferences, demographic and societal trends – and FY21 was no different. We continue to work alongside Nadia Lim and adopt her philosophy of always insisting on the most natural, freshest ingredients for all our recipes. We introduced My Choice under the My Food Bag brand nationwide in July 2020, following requests from our customers for more individualised recipes in their bags. It was designed to offer recipe personalisation without increasing recipe development requirements and is already performing well. With the success of My Choice during FY21 fresh in our minds, in April 2021 we began offering recipe choice across the Bargain Box brand. OPERATIONS During FY21, many of our supplier contracts were renewed with a focus on quality, service and competitive pricing. We also onboarded some new suppliers who joined the My Food Bag family, promising to help us deliver outstanding quality every week to our customers. In addition, we entered into an agreement that will see us operating from a new purpose-built leased facility in Christchurch to serve the whole South Island from the first half of 2022. 4 LETTER FROM THE CEO In May 2020, we renewed our contract with distribution partner New Zealand Post (NZ Post) for a further five years. This agreement underpins our commitment to superior customer service. Alongside many other benefits, this agreement currently gives us exclusive access to a Sunday delivery network. Despite the pressures and distractions of the global pandemic, by mid-2020 we had fully implemented a world-class end- to-end enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. This new platform manages data within the business from the customer’s order being confirmed, through to purchasing ingredients and payments to suppliers. The platform gives us additional layers of control to support recipe development and data integrity. And with it comes greater cost visibility throughout the business. SUSTAINABILITY We view sustainability through three broad lenses: how we reduce the impact of our packaging, how we participate in our communities and how our activities impact the environment. Just before closing the FY21 financial year, we launched a Soft-Plastics Recycling Programme for our customers. In partnership with the NZ Packaging Forum and Future Post, we can now arrange to have NZ Post collect all our customers’ soft plastics and ensure they are responsibly recycled. We are also proud to be a virtual-zero-food-waste company and have initiatives underway to reduce the remaining sources of food waste. Each week, any bags that we don’t use are given to charitable organisations and at the end of each day when our recipe testing is complete, we pack up any leftover food for KiwiHarvest. We provide thousands of meals per month to families in need through partnerships with great Kiwi charities in the food rescue space. In late 2020, we launched a charitable partnership with Garden to Table. The charity supports primary school level learning through the growing of vegetables. Among other joint activities, we collect donations for Garden to Table from our customers via our websites. To date, we have collected more than $15,000 for Garden to Table, enabling hundreds of Kiwi children to join this worthwhile programme. FINANCIAL UPDATE For the 12-month period ending 31 March 2021, My Food Bag delivered a performance favourable to the PFI, included in our recent PDS. We recorded revenue of $190.7 million, up 24% on FY20. The pro forma earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), a metric used extensively by the Board as an indication of underlying profitability, was $29.0 million, up 78% on FY20. Net profit after tax (NPAT) was $2.4 million, up $1.6 million on the PFI forecast. We achieved year-on-year growth in Active Customers (Q4 FY21 vs prior comparative period), have maintained order frequency and grown average order value. Dividends are expected to be declared and paid twice yearly following the release of interim and annual results, as outlined in the PDS. We expect to pay our first dividend as a listed company in December 2021. SUMMARY My Food Bag has a great deal going our way as we chart our growth through FY22 and beyond. As a New Zealand company, we have a strong understanding of Kiwis’ needs, an extensive customer database, trusted brands, proven e-commerce capability and a nationwide supply chain that can facilitate a range of future growth options. We’re energised by continued feedback from customers on how our recipes and healthy ingredients have transformed mealtimes, improved people’s health and created thousands of newly confident home cooks across New Zealand. Continuing to keep doing what we do, only better, is a cornerstone of our future plan. I’d like to thank the whole My Food Bag team and all of our vitally important suppliers for their commitment and dedication through FY21 with all the challenges the year presented. I look forward to an exciting year ahead, in anticipation of inspiring thousands more Kiwis to eat better and delivering for our shareholders in line with our FY22 forecast.

We adapted quickly to ensure team safety and to minimise business continuity risks throughout the lockdown levels, particularly at Alert Level 4 from the end of March 2020. With increased customer demand and safety-related changes imposed on operations and logistics, we quickly secured extra capacity through a new Auckland assembly centre and additional temporary facilities in Christchurch. Non-operations team members immediately relocated to work remotely, relying on technology to remain productive and connected. During each of the COVID-19 lockdowns and Alert Level changes, we maintained a safe working environment for our team, while meeting the increased demand from our customers. We also recognised the hard work and vigilance of our operations team during Alert Level 4 via a one-off payment. Senior management adjusted existing business continuity plans to consider the unique requirements of the pandemic. Significant measures were taken at our assembly sites to ensure our team was operating safely. We have maintained many of these controls for further assurance. Our control measures included: • Strict sign-in processes, including temperature checks • Mandatory use of PPE, including face masks and gloves • Sites being reconfigured to ensure that appropriate social distancing was possible, including in all communal areas and on box assembly lines • Regular revision of hand sanitising and good hygiene practices • Adjusted shift patterns to create additional time between shift start times. This also allows us to significantly limit crossover between the shifts during breaks and end times • Daily reminders on COVID-19 symptoms at pre-start meetings and team meetings • Daily visual checks and leadership walks at each site • Any staff member not feeling well is requested to undergo a COVID-19 test and cannot return to work unless they have a negative test and feel better • A process to identify close or casual contacts in line with the Ministry of Health requirements • Contact tracing app QR codes are available throughout our sites We added full-time on-site resource at each of our assembly sites to help manage compliance levels. All non-operational staff are equipped to work from home whenever they need to. • Single-site requirements to ensure staff are not moving between sites unless essential Following our protocols, no staff member tested positive for COVID-19 during FY21. 9 Introducing Choice Building on our history of product innovation, in July 2020 we introduced My Choice under the My Food Bag brand. Each week, our customers can pick from 12 options, across a range of family-friendly recipes, ready-made meals and quick cooking options. It gives our customers more options every week, encouraging them to purchase more frequently from us. We’ve made changes across the assembly sites to deliver My Choice Bags, and learnings from this product launch have already informed the direction of new product development (NPD) and the introduction of further customer choice into the product portfolio. 10 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021KEY ACHIEVEMENTS Strong Foundations for Growth A new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system, implemented in 2020, fully integrates our weekly operating cycle. It is an important enabler for future profitable growth, as well as extending and fostering innovation. This system enables our team members to spend time on value- add tasks to further delight customers. It reduces operational risk by replacing disjointed and manual processes, provides structured and auditable processes for managing master data, and creates an internal control environment in line with best modern business practice to avoid errors. This technology also allows us to improve product quality. We can now validate recipes against nutritional values, improving our ability to meet customer needs. The system has created a step change in the management of recipes and ingredients, and how data is syndicated enterprise wide. Our ability to measure business performance has now significantly improved on the strength of the investment, supporting our business and financial strategy going forward. 11 SUSTAINABILIT Y, COMMUNIT Y & PEOPLE Feeding our future My Food Bag is in a unique position to extend the value of what we do far beyond our own financial performance. We believe in pushing our social and environmental performance to inspire communities and organisations in Aotearoa. Our Sustainability Pillars PACKAGING Packaging is an essential part of our business and a primary focus across everything we do. This pillar includes our in-product packaging, operational waste and on-site office waste. ENVIRONMENT We’re Kiwi through and through and want to do all we can to ensure we’re helping keep Aotearoa clean, green and beautiful, and inspiring others to do the same. This pillar includes our emissions, energy consumption, landfill impact and sourcing.

We know from our customers that plastic waste (72%)1 and increasing landfill (44%)1 are the two issues they are most concerned about, so this is a big focus area for us. Soft-Plastics Recycling Programme Coverage includes all household soft plastics, not just My Food Bag soft plastics. Opened up the possibility for from-door pick-up of soft plastics recycling vs drop-off. At the time of launch, expanded soft plastic recycling across the South Island. Recycled soft plastic is made into things like fenceposts or garden boxes by the Soft-Plastics Recycling Programme and Future Post. Approximately 80% of our ingredients by value are now delivered to our assembly centres in reusable crates, reducing the use of cardboard and other material. Our cardboard boxes are made from forest stewardship council (FSC) certified 47% recycled cardboard and all our paper printing comes from FSC-certified pulp. Some of our ingredient packaging is biodegradable and the wool insulation we use is 100% compostable and biodegradable. Our MADE meals are packaged in recyclable PET trays and we led the way by filling our ice packs with water. While we endeavour to be at the forefront of finding alternatives, soft plastics still remain an essential element of keeping food contained, safe and fresh. At the end of Q4 FY21, we launched our Soft-Plastics Recycling Programme, in partnership with the NZ Packaging Forum and Future Post. This initiative has led the category by offering a direct pick-up recycling solution to our customers for their entire household’s soft plastics. 1.

This means continually working to reduce emissions, maximise energy efficiency and minimise waste to landfill. We are continuing to monitor and develop new initiatives to both understand and minimise our impact on the environment. This includes optimising delivery routes to minimise emissions for our depot-to-door deliveries. Research supports the emissions benefit of meal kits such as ours, which have been shown to be as much as 33% more greenhouse-gas efficient than supermarket-bought meals. We are proud that 98% of our fresh meat and produce is locally sourced right here in New Zealand, greatly reducing transport emissions, and that all our cardboard and paper is sourced from FSC-certified partners. Through careful planning, management and partnership we are a near-zero-food-waste company. My Food Bag – Land-to-Bag Supply Chain 15 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Community We passionately believe that cooking and eating together can help build stronger, healthier families and communities. We have a proud history of supporting New Zealand community groups and have relationships with a range of charitable organisations, including Kaibosh Food Rescue and the Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch City Missions. Each week, any unused food bags are given to families in need and any food left over from recipe tests is collected by KiwiHarvest, a national food rescue charity collecting leftover food and distributing it to those in need. In 2020, we launched a charitable partnership with Garden to Table, a charity that advocates for learning through the growing of vegetables in New Zealand primary schools. We collect donations for Garden to Table from our customers via our websites. To date our collective efforts have helped over 1,000 Kiwi kids onto the Garden to Table programme. Suppliers When selecting our business partners, sustainability is always front of mind. We will only work with suppliers who align themselves with our very high ethical and environmental standards. For this reason we have a comprehensive Approved Supplier Programme and work with suppliers who pledge to meet the prescribed Code of Conduct. In addition to food safety, ingredient and operational requirements, this Code underpins a supplier’s commitment to ethical and sustainable business practices, for example use of free-range, free-farmed meat. Suppliers are also required to operate a health and safety management system, compliant with the Health and Safety at Work Act 2015, associated regulations and relevant codes of practice, as well as adhering to strict bribery and corruption- free business practices. All supply partners are required to run extensive Food Control Panels or National Programmes too, aligned with the Food Act 2014. Gluten-free suppliers must also follow strict gluten testing programmes and are regularly audited. 16 SUSTAINABILITY, COMMUNITY & PEOPLE 17 My Food Bag Team From chefs in the Development Kitchen to our award-winning Customer Love team, our people have a strong focus on delivering for our valued customers. Our team of around 200 is well balanced, with approximately half women and half men. They have a strong sense of common purpose, pride in the organisation and a shared commitment to My Food Bag’s success. Wellbeing is top of mind at My Food Bag, with access to the employee assistance programme (EAP) and a dedicated Wellness Committee. Our staff receive discounts on all our products. More than 90% of eligible staff typically participate in the annual engagement survey, with scores consistently high. MY FOOD BAG RITUALS My Food Bag has built a great work culture during its eight years through a series of fun but meaningful rituals. All staff adopt a ‘foodie name’, there are regular platforms for recognising individual and team performance, frequent gatherings to celebrate team results, and a fun informative weekly blog from the CEO to all staff, keeping everyone connected. Eva ‘Empanada’ Murphy BUSINESS ANALYST I started out at My Food Bag as a Customer Love Coordinator. The knowledge I picked up about the business while in this job helps me a lot in my current role. When I’m working on process and customer journey improvements, I’ve got a firm view of what matters to our customers and the business. I also worked in the Logistics team for nine months. I joined the team during the nationwide lockdown in 2020, which proved to be an intense and very valuable crash course in Operations. A key achievement for me was establishing automation tools to support pick accuracy, traceability and operational savings for our 18 My Choice product lines. These tools are set to be iterated on as the offering expands this year. Life at My Food Bag requires lots of collaboration and plenty of flexibility. Across all my roles, I’ve had some incredible opportunities for growth, and thoroughly enjoy the exposure to all the elements of the business. Much of what we do involves a huge amount of detail and forward planning, which is always fun to dig into. There’s a lot of trust and curiosity among our people, and the most enjoyable moments always involve bouncing around ideas with a team of bright and passionate critical thinkers. MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021SUSTAINABILITY, COMMUNITY & PEOPLE Polly ‘Pomegranate’ Brodie HEAD OF DEVELOPMENT KITCHEN My team and I create the delicious recipes and beautiful photography for all our meal-kit and ready-made products, as well as any extra content for website, social and marketing. My team includes chefs, food stylists, recipe editors, photographers and a nutritionist. Together we create recipes that are not only delicious and nutritious but also in season, on trend and within budget. Before heading up the Development Kitchen, I worked as a recipe developer, test kitchen chef and nutrition manager. I’ve worked on plenty of cool new product developments, but Fresh Start has definitely been a highlight. My team and I created the guidelines and direction for Fresh Start and I developed the recipes for the first few months, before we hired a new chef to take over. I couldn’t believe my luck to be creating a meal kit that would help people achieve their health goals. For me, having a background in nutrition and cheffing, that’s an absolute dream job. Rashmeet ‘Radish’ Singh SHIFT MANAGER I work Saturday, Sunday and Monday every week to make sure that the thousands of boxes leaving our Auckland assembly centres arrive on time with our customers. If you’re a My Food Bag customer in the North Island, my team and I oversee your delivery every week. The team culture at My Food Bag is one of the things that sets us apart. We’re constantly looking for ways to improve across all aspects of the business and everyone gets stuck in to help. The first COVID-19 lockdown was a turning point for my team. It showed us what we were capable of. During the lockdown we opened a new distribution centre in Highbrook and took over control of deliveries in the whole North Island. We introduced a myriad of new processes to keep ourselves as safe as possible and talked a lot (from a distance!) about how we were helping Kiwis during a tough time. 19 WHAT KIWIS ARE EATING Taste sensations Each week, our customers rate our recipes, which provides a rich database of information on what Kiwis love to eat the most. From this we find insights to personalise our marketing, product range and recipe mix. We’re constantly adapting our recipes to match what our customers are loving at the moment. KIWIS LOVE NUDE FOOD Our recipe development is guided by Nadia Lim’s Nude Food philosophy, “Eat real food that comes from the ground, sea and sky, and less from factories”. It guides our choice of ingredients and suppliers as well as the recipe design for all our products. Nadia is a co-founder and shareholder in My Food Bag, and she continues to be an important brand ambassador for the business. 20 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021WHAT KIWIS ARE EATING BARGAIN BOX FRESH START Bargain Box customers can’t get enough of our flavour-packed Asian dishes. This Crispy Katsu Chicken with Crunchy Sesame Slaw was an instant Family Fave in FY21. For Fresh Start customers looking to achieve their health goals, whether it be weight loss or fitness focused, it was all about curries in FY21. Our Malaysian Curried Prawns with Turmeric Rice took out the top spot, and Thai Green Fish and Thai Yellow Chicken both featured in the top 10. Bargain Box customer Hannah loves the way Bargain Box helps her budget her week and helps her make dinnertime fun for her and the kids. Fresh Start customer and mum-of-two Erin puts the 18kg she has lost mostly down to Fresh Start. “ Since doing Bargain Box, I’ve saved money and my sanity! Not having to think about ‘What’s for dinner tonight?’ is great, and even better, the kids love the meals and are eating more veggies and variety than ever before.” – Hannah “ It’s the easiest way to lose weight that I’ve found. And I now do things outdoors with the kids I wouldn’t have been capable of or had the motivation to do before.” – Erin PLANT BASED MY FOOD BAG Our Plant Based customers loved the way we managed to turn the humble mushroom into a crunchy and juicy burger patty in our Panko-Crumbed Mushroom Burgers. For My Food Bag, lamb took the top spot. Our premium New Zealand lamb featured in the two highest-rated recipes of the year. Gourmet Bag’s Pesto-Crusted Lamb Loin with Buttered Greens & Hollandaise was a firm favourite, alongside our Valentine’s Day Lamb Rack with Twice-Cooked Potatoes which featured in My Choice. Incorporating more plant based meals into your week can be intimidating – and ensuring you get the right balance of nutrition and variety is not straightforward. Plant Based customer Matt has found reducing his meat intake deliciously easy thanks to My Food Bag’s Plant Based Bag. My Food Bag customers enjoy the quality of our local lamb, as well as the way My Food Bag teaches them to cook their lamb perfectly and combine flavours and ingredients in new and interesting ways. “ I have found that the Plant Based Food Bag has provided the diet balance I needed to keep the rest of my not-so-vegan intake in check. And, being new to My Food Bag, all of sudden I have an extra hour in the evenings as the Plant Based goodness takes care of my hangry belly.” – Matt “ Fabulous. And my first time cooking a lamb rack. 11 out of 10 for this meal.” “ Loved this! The combination made my taste buds and heart sing so yum!” – My Food Bag customer comments from recipe ratings, Feb 2021 21 MY FOOD BAG OPER ATIONS Recipe for success My Food Bag is an online food delivery business and New Zealand’s longest-standing meal-kit provider.

This is My Food Bag’s most accessible offering, providing “Family Faves, Bargain Prices”, designed to bring quick, easy, affordable, tasty and healthy meals to Kiwi households. We launched My Choice across New Zealand in July 2020. Customer satisfaction and average recipe ratings are both extremely strong, indicating that being able to choose a personalised combination of recipes is important to many My Food Bag customers. During the year, we launched a vegetarian bag for Bargain Box customers. At the end of FY21we tested recipe choice across the Bargain Box brand, ready for introduction in early FY22. This range focuses on goal-based recipes designed to help customers achieve health goals through their diet, whether it be for weight loss or fitness. This is an important format differentiator to our meal kits. Designed to offer an easier and more convenient alternative to cooking a recipe, MADE offers a range of fresh, ready-made meals. The year-on-year investment in Fresh Start marketing lifted and included TV advertising for the first time. As a result, during the year, Fresh Start experienced the highest delivery and customer numbers to date. There were significant improvements to recipes, reflected in customer ratings across the MADE range and we also added MADE into the My Choice meal options. 23 Efficient Operation – Every Week 1 CREAT E 5 RECIPE RA T I N G S 4 3 C OOK & E N J O Y S O URCE & D E L 2 CHOO S E R I V E 1.

MONDAY • The billing run is made and customer money received • My Food Bag’s procurement team reviews and places orders with suppliers TUESDAY & WEDNESDAY • Ingredients begin to arrive at our assembly centres in Auckland and Christchurch, with the majority arriving on site on Wednesday and Thursday. Other ingredients are delivered as late as Friday to ensure freshness • Ingredients are sourced from more than 200 suppliers 1 2 3 SUNDAY EVENING • Subscribers have until 11:59pm to adjust their orders for the following week’s delivery • Orders can be changed through both the website and mobile app 4 THURSDAY • Picking and packing commences mid-morning • 30,000+ boxes picked and packed per week 7 6 5 SUNDAY SATURDAY FRIDAY • Staging commences to get boxes ready for pickup from the Auckland and Christchurch assembly centres • My Food Bag and • Picking and packing Fresh Start branded boxes are delivered to customers via NZ Post’s exclusive Sunday network (with some deliveries on Monday via NZ Post’s overnight network) • Customers are sent a text to inform them of delivery details concludes • Boxes are transported to distribution depots around the country • Delivery is made to customers electing Saturday delivery • Bargain Box and MADE deliveries begin (via the NZ Post overnight network) My Food Bag operates a negative working capital position. This is a benefit of the operating model arising because cash is generated from customers before it has to pay suppliers for the cost of goods sold. This allows My Food Bag to leverage supplier payment terms to grow the business. 25 Supply Chain Overview We operate a largely outsourced and asset-light supply chain model, while always maintaining close oversight across supply and delivery. FOOD SUPPLIERS • We operate a ‘source-to- order’ model: purchase orders are placed with suppliers on a weekly basis at the exact levels required to match customer orders (allowing for a small buffer of stock) to minimise waste. • Our supply chain with food suppliers is robust and resistant to adverse events, with 98% of all meat and produce sourced locally in New Zealand. ASSEMBLY CENTRES • We are the only large- scale New Zealand meal- kit delivery business with chilled assembly centres in both the North and South Islands, providing logistical efficiencies, more localised sourcing of ingredients and greater delivery certainty to the South Island. 26 OVERNIGHT & EXCLUSIVE DELIVERY NETWORKS• We have a strong relationship with distribution partner NZ Post, recently renewing their contract for a further five years until May 2025.• NZ Post currently operates an exclusive Sunday delivery service for My Food Bag.MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021MY FOOD BAG OPERATIONS Food Safety My Food Bag is subject to the National Programme Level 3 (guidelines set out by the Ministry for Primary Industries – MPI) as a retailer which handles food but does not prepare or manufacture food. MPI complete business and site audits of National Programme Level 3 once every two years. Since 2017 we have had eight MPI audits across our sites. To date we have had minimal non-conformances flagged during these audits and no non-compliances. We also require our suppliers to meet a strict prescribed code of conduct outlining food safety, ingredient and operational requirements. We regularly review and audit our food handling settings as well, to ensure procedures meet the recommended standards. We maintain a direct line of contact with our customers, so that any issues are immediately identified and remedied. This is supported by a Serious Incident Register to record reported customer complaints relating to food quality and concerns. Health and Safety We have a systematic approach to the management of health and safety. Detailed health and safety policies, standards and procedures are implemented alongside hazard and risk management processes, including an incident notification and management system. Each site operates a Health and Safety Committee, which meets monthly and our Senior Leadership Team and Board are active participants in our site safety audits. My Food Bag has a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR1) of 4, which is better than the current New Zealand benchmark of 5.4, from the Business Leaders’ Health & Safety Forum 2019 benchmarking report. 1. TRIFR is calculated by taking the number of injuries resulting in medical treatment or lost time, multiplying this number by 200,000 to standardise for business size and then dividing by the number of hours worked in a month. It is then averaged over 12 months and is reported as a rolling 12-month figure. 27 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Growth Strategies Building on our history of innovation and exceptional customer service, during FY21 we identified a pipeline of growth opportunities based on two strategic areas of focus: 1 2 Continued leadership in the meal-kit market to align to consumer trends. Utilising the established My Food Bag platform to further disrupt the business- to-consumer market; for example, by expanding into the broader online food and grocery market. These opportunities have been identified and are in development. 1. LEADERSHIP IN MEALS & EXPANDING OUR FOOD-BASED OFFERINGS During FY21, we experienced an acceleration in demand, as more customers trusted My Food Bag to deliver their meals. We capitalised on the accelerated growth of online shopping due to COVID-19, with several successful new product launches and campaigns. Our key growth initiatives: • The launch of My Choice, which allows customers to personalise their recipe selection, resulted in increased order frequency as customers can now select the perfect meal combination for their week and household. • Upweighted marketing focus on Fresh Start through advertising campaigns, weight loss challenges and new products ensured growth for this brand. • We also expanded our ‘Plant Rich’ portfolio, adding Bargain Box Veggie to our leading range of meat-free options, and continued to drive purchase frequency through our My Food Bag Plant Rich education programme. OPTIMISATION INITIATIVES DRIVING EFFICIENCIES THIS YEAR & IN THE FUTURE • Significant margin uplift was secured via procurement optimisation across key categories • Our new ERP system resulted in system and operational improvements across the business 28 MY FOOD BAG OPERATIONS • Continued focus on delighting our loyal customers 2. DISRUPTING THE through initiatives like our My Global Kitchen recipe series, the quarterly publication of our In Season magazine and “money can’t buy” foodie rewards in our seasonal loyalty campaigns. • Ongoing growth of our ready-made offering, as we included ready-made meals as a recipe option within My Choice and the selection of single-serve ready-made meals being expanded and new ready-made formats launching. BUSINESS-TO-CONSUMER MARKET There is a significant opportunity to leverage the established My Food Bag platform (brand, database, nationwide coverage, capability) to expand beyond our current business scope. We continue to evaluate growth opportunities for the business through the expansion of food options, entering new categories, diversifying into new channels and in vertical integration. This includes: • Our seasonal options continued to be popular and • Entering new food categories by leveraging the existing drive strong average revenue per unit (ARPU), particularly our Christmas range. business model and platform • Leveraging our brand credentials and capabilities to expand beyond food and provide a wide range of consumer products • Moving beyond online and selling our existing products through new distribution channels • Performing elements of the supply chain in-house to improve margins 29 BOARD OF DIRECTORS Tony ‘Tea’ Carter Independent Chair Jennifer (Jen) ‘Biscotti’ Bunbury Independent Non-Executive Director Sarah ‘Sauerkraut’ Hindle Independent Non-Executive Director Tony joined the My Food Bag board in January 2021 and was appointed Chair at that time.

My Food Bag Group Limited is a profit-oriented Group incorporated and domiciled in New Zealand under the New Zealand Companies Act 1993. My Food Bag Limited’s shares are publicly traded on the New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX) and Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). The Group is an FMC reporting entity under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013. The financial statements of the Group are for the year ended 31 March 2021. The financial statements were authorised for issue by the Directors on 21 May 2021. On 14 January 2021 MFB Group Limited was renamed My Food Bag Group Limited. Basis of Preparation STATEMENT OF COMPLIANCE The financial statements comply with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and also with New Zealand equivalents to International Financial Reporting Standards (NZ IFRS). The 2020 income statement comparatives have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. The changes are presentational only and do not change previously reported profit or equity. BASIS OF MEASUREMENT The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except where identified in the accounting policies below. The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in New Zealand dollars, which is the Group’s functional currency. The financial statements have been rounded to the nearest thousand dollars ($000), unless otherwise stated. The financial statements have been prepared using the going concern assumption. In relation to the going concern assumption, the Group has prepared forecasts which indicate that cash on hand, combined with cash flow as a result of operations, will enable the Group to continue operating and satisfy its going concern and solvency requirements. Accordingly, the Directors believe the going concern assumption is valid and have reached this conclusion having regard to the circumstances which they consider likely to affect the Group during the period of one year from the date these financials are approved. The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those followed in the preparation of the Group’s annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY AND KEY JUDGMENTS The preparation of the Group’s financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the accompanying disclosures, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities. Uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of assets or liabilities affected in future periods. The estimates and judgments that are critical to the determination of the amounts reported in the financial statements have been disclosed with the relevant financial statement notes. 41 FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 Summary of Significant Accounting Policies The primary accounting policies applied in the preparation of these financial statements are set out below or, where an accounting policy is directly related to an individual note, within the accompanying notes to the financial statements. These policies have been consistently applied to the years presented, unless otherwise stated. BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION The financial statements comprise of the financial statements of the Group and its subsidiary as at 31 March 2021. The subsidiary is an entity controlled by the Group. Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. The subsidiary is included in the consolidated financial statements using the acquisition method of accounting, from the date control commences to the date the control ceases. OTHER TAXES Revenue, expenses, assets and liabilities are recognised net of the amount of GST, except receivables and payables, which are stated with the amount of GST included. The net amount of GST recoverable from, or payable to, the IRD is included as part of receivables or payables in the statement of financial position. Cash flows are included in the statement of cash flows on a basis net of the GST component of the cash flows arising from investing and financing activities, which is recoverable from, or payable to, the IRD which is classified as part of the operating cash flows. CASH AND SHORT-TERM DEPOSITS Cash and short-term deposits in the statement of financial position comprise cash at bank and on hand and short-term deposits with a maturity of three months or less, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES There are no new standards and interpretations that have impacted the financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2021. STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET EFFECTIVE There are no new standards and interpretations that have been issued, but not yet effective, that will impact the Group up to the date of issuance of the Group’s financial statements. PROVISIONS Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events and it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. 42 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021Financial Performance 1.

The Group has concluded that it is the principal in its revenue arrangements. Revenue from sale of goods (net of discounts) is recognised at the point in time when control of the asset is transferred to the customer, generally on delivery. Cash is normally received in advance of delivery. Where cash is received during the period in advance of delivery, which is after year end, the balance is recognised as deferred revenue. The Group considers there are no other promises in the contract that are separate performance obligations to which a portion of the transaction price needs to be allocated. In determining the transaction price for the sale of goods, the Group considers there is no variable or non-cash consideration and no significant financing component exists. 2. Operating Segments The Group determines its operating segments based on internal information that is regularly reported to the Chief Executive, who is the Group’s Chief Operating Decision Maker. The Group operates in one reportable segment being online meal kit and pre-prepared ready to heat meal delivery. This consists of creating and delivering meal kits and pre-prepared ready to heat meals to New Zealand consumers. Within this reportable segment there are no separate operating segments. The Group operates in one geographic area, that being New Zealand. The Group has no single external customers with revenues that amount to more than 10% of the Group’s total revenue. 43 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 3.

Depreciation is recognised so as to write off the cost or valuation of assets less their residual values over their useful lives, using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Right-of-use assets are depreciated over the term of the lease. However, when there is no reasonable certainty that ownership will be obtained by the end of the lease term, assets are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognised upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the asset. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognised in profit or loss. For the purposes of considering whether there has been any impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets. When the book value of a group of assets exceeds the recoverable amount an impairment loss arises and is recognised in earnings immediately. The following depreciation rates have been used: • Motor vehicles • Plant and machinery • Furniture, fittings and equipment • Computers 21% – 25% 8% – 67% 13% – 67% 50% – 67% Straight line Straight line Straight line Straight line 47 FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 8.

There is only one cash-generating unit (CGU). For impairment purposes, the CGU has been valued on a value-in-use basis using a discounted cash flow model. The Group has assessed brand assets as having an indefinite useful life. In coming to this conclusion, management considered expected expansion of the usage of the brands across other products and markets, the typical customer life cycle of these assets, the stability of the industry in which the brands are operating, the level of maintenance expenditure required and the period of legal control over the brands. During the current period, management has determined that there is no impairment of any of the goodwill and brands. The Group has determined that the assessment of any potential impairment of goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful life is most sensitive to changes in the following assumptions: • Projected cash flows, in particular the underlying growth rates supporting this which have been based on historical data, PFI information and current market information. Cash flows beyond five years have been extrapolated using estimated terminal growth rates, which do not exceed the long-term average growth rate. The terminal growth rate used was 2.0%. • Post-tax discount rates to reflect the Group’s estimate of the time value of money and risks associated with the CGU. In determining the appropriate discount rate, consideration has been given to the estimated weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 6.8%. SENSITIVITY TO REASONABLY POSSIBLE CHANGES IN ASSUMPTION The impairment assessment confirmed the recoverable amount exceeded the carrying value at 31 March 2021. Based on current economic conditions and performance of the CGU, no reasonably possible change in a key assumption used in the determination of the recoverable value of the CGU would result in a material impairment to the Group. Computer Software Costs that are directly associated with the development of identifiable and unique software products controlled by the Group that will generate economic benefits exceeding costs beyond one year are recognised as intangible assets. Costs are capitalised in accordance with NZ IAS 38. Costs associated with maintaining computer software programs are recognised as an expense when incurred. Computer software licences and development costs recognised as assets are amortised on a straight-line basis at the rates below: • Software 14%–50% Straight-line Brands Brands for which relevant factors indicate that there is no limit to the foreseeable net cash flows are considered to have an indefinite useful life and are held at cost and are not amortised but are subject to an annual impairment test. Brands are considered to have an indefinite useful life as there are no factors which indicate that there is a limit on their capacity to generate foreseeable cash flows. Goodwill Goodwill is initially measured at cost (being the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the amount recognised for non-controlling interests and any previous interest held over the net identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed). If the fair value of the net assets acquired is in excess of the aggregate consideration transferred, the Group reassesses whether it has correctly identified all the assets acquired and all the liabilities assumed and reviews the procedures used to measure the amounts to be recognised at the acquisition date. If the reassessment still results in an excess of the fair value of net assets acquired over the aggregate consideration transferred, then the gain is recognised in profit or loss. Goodwill is not amortised, but tested for impairment at least annually. 49 FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 Finite-life Intangible Assets Finite-life intangible assets represent customer relationships acquired in a business combination and are carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Amortisation is recognised on a straight-line basis, to appropriately reflect the reduction in value of the intangible over its deemed useful life of 2 years. Intangible Assets Acquired in a Business Combination All potential intangible assets acquired in a business combination are identified and recognised separately from goodwill where they satisfy the definition of an intangible asset and their fair value can be measured reliably. 9. Leases The Group has lease contracts for property and various items of plant, machinery, vehicles and other equipment used in its operations. Leases of property have lease terms between 2 and 9 years, while plant, machinery, vehicles and other equipment generally have lease terms between 3 and 5 years. The Group’s obligations under its leases are secured by the lessor’s title to the leased assets. Generally, the Group is restricted from assigning and subleasing the leased assets. Some leases contain extension options by the Group up to 1 year before the end of the non-cancellable contract period. The Group assesses at lease commencement date whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the extension option. The Group reassesses whether it is reasonably certain to exercise the option if there is a significant event or significant change in circumstances within its control. The Group also has certain leases of machinery with lease terms of 12 months or less and leases of office equipment with low value. The Group applies the ‘short-term lease’ and ‘lease of low-value assets’ recognition exemptions for these leases. Set out below are the carrying amounts of right-of-use assets recognised and the movements during the period: NZ$000 As at 1 April 2020 Balance as at 1 April 2020 Additions/Increases Modifications Depreciation expense Balance as at 31 March 2021 As at 1 April 2019 Balance as at 1 April 2019 Additions/Increases Depreciation expense Balance as at 31 March 2020 The following are the amounts recognised in profit or loss: NZ$000 Depreciation expense of right-of-use assets Interest expense on lease liabilities Total amount recognised in profit or loss Property Motor vehicles Plant and machinery 9,190 4,587 (2,949) (2,410) 8,418 10,193 187 (1,190) 9,190 14 - - (14) - 58 - (44) 14 330 - - (130) 200 451 40 (161) 330 Total 9,534 4,587 (2,949) (2,554) 8,618 10,702 227 (1,395) 9,534 2021 2020 2,554 496 3,050 1,395 464 1,859 The Group had total cash outflows for leases of $2,647 thousand in 2021. The Group also had non-cash additions to right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $4,587 thousand in 2021. However, on 3 November 2020, the Group was notified by a current landlord that a buyer has been identified for the My Food Bag leased property and My Food Bag will be required to vacate the site in 2022. This has resulted in a modification. During the period the Group determined it was no longer reasonably certain it would extend one of its property leases by utilising the extension option. This resulted in a modification. 50 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021Determining the Lease Term of Contracts with Renewal and Termination Options – Group as Lessee Determining the lease term of contracts with renewal and termination options – Group as lessee: The Group determines the lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if it is reasonably certain to be exercised, or any periods covered by an option to terminate the lease, if it is reasonably certain not to be exercised. The Group has several lease contracts that include extension and termination options. The Group applies judgment in evaluating whether it is reasonably certain whether or not to exercise the option to renew or terminate the lease. That is, it considers all relevant factors that create an economic incentive for it to exercise either the renewal or termination. After the commencement date, the Group reassesses the lease term if there is a significant event or change in circumstances that is within its control and affects its ability to exercise or not to exercise the option to renew or to terminate (for example, construction of significant leasehold improvements or significant customisation to the leased asset). Leases – Estimating the Incremental Borrowing Rate Leases – Estimating the incremental borrowing rate: The Group cannot readily determine the interest rate implicit in the lease, it uses its incremental borrowing rate (IBR) to measure lease liabilities. The IBR is the rate of interest that the Group would have to pay to borrow over a similar term, and with a similar security, the funds necessary to obtain an asset of a similar value to the right-of-use asset in a similar economic environment. The IBR therefore reflects what the Group ‘would have to pay’, which requires estimation when no observable rates are available or when they need to be adjusted to reflect the terms and conditions of the lease. The Group estimates the IBR using observable inputs when available and is required to make certain entity-specific estimates. Funding and Equity 10.

The primary objective of the Group’s capital management is to maximise shareholder value. The Group complied with all externally imposed capital requirements during the period to which it is subject. 51 FINANCIAL STATEMENTSNotes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 11. Share Option Schemes The Group has a share option scheme under which options to subscribe for the Group’s shares have been granted to certain shareholders, board members and executives. The scheme vested during the year ended 31 March 2021. The options convert to ordinary shares. This is an equity-settled share scheme. A new Senior Executive Incentive Scheme was established in February 2021 for certain members of the executive management team. Under the Scheme these executives will be offered a number of share rights determined by dividing a dollar value by the value of one share in the Group at the issue date of the share rights (being the date on which the Group releases its FY22 results). The dollar value of the grant of the share rights is based upon the Group’s EBITDA and certain other performance hurdles, assessed against the Group’s performance during FY22 against the PFI included in the Group’s recent product disclosure statement, with a grant only being made where the Group outperforms the PFI by a prescribed amount for this period. The scheme has been determined to be an equity settled arrangement. The fair value assessment of the equity instruments granted has been determined to be $124 thousand. The fair value of the scheme has been determined using the black-scholes option pricing calculator and is being amortised over the restrictive period. OTHER CAPITAL RESERVES NZ$000 As at 1 April Expense for the year Reversal to share capital As at 31 March 2021 359 305 (664) - 2020 86 273 - 359 NATURE AND PURPOSE OF RESERVES The share-based payment valuation reserve is used to recognise the value of equity-settled share-based payments provided to employees, including key management personnel, as part of their remuneration. All other reserves are as stated in the consolidated statement of changes in equity. FAIR VALUE The fair value of the share options were estimated on the grant date, based on a valuation methodology having regard to the Group valuation at grant date, expiry date of the options, exercise price, risk free interest rate, volatility and dividend yield. Fair value of equity share options Opening value – 1 April 2019 Changes during the period Closing value – 31 March 2020 Changes during the period Closing balance – 31 March 2021 Options 4,675 825 5,500 (5,500) - NZ$000 397 267 664 (664) - 52 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Equity-settled Transactions The cost of equity-settled transactions is determined by the fair value at the date when the grant is made using an appropriate valuation model. The cost is recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, together with a corresponding increase in equity (share-based payment reserve), over the period in which service and, where applicable, the performance conditions are fulfilled (the vesting period). The cumulative expense recognised for equity-settled transactions at each reporting date until the vesting date reflects the extent to which the vesting period has expired and the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. The expense or credit in the statement of comprehensive income for a period represents the movement in cumulative expense recognised as at the beginning and end of the period. Service and non-market performance conditions are not taken into account when determining the grant date fair value of awards, but the likelihood of the conditions being met is assessed as part of the Group’s best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will ultimately vest. Market performance conditions are reflected within the grant date fair value. Any other conditions attached to an award, but without an associated service requirement, are considered to be non-vesting conditions. Non-vesting conditions are reflected in the fair value of an award and lead to an immediate expensing of an award unless there are also service and/or performance conditions. No expense is recognised for awards that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met. Where awards include a market or non-vesting condition, the transactions are treated as vested irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting condition is satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied. When the terms of an equity-settled award are modified, the minimum expense recognised is the grant date fair value of the unmodified award, provided that the original terms of the award are met. An additional expense, measured as at the date of modification, is recognised for any modification that increases the total fair value of the share-based payment transaction, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee. Where an award is cancelled by the entity or by the counterparty, any remaining element of the fair value of the award is expensed immediately through profit or loss. 12. Borrowings The Group borrows in the form of bank loans and other financial instruments. Funding costs associated with the Group’s borrowings are shown in the note below.

Interest rate comprises a line fee of 1.16% and the base rate (BKBM rate) plus a margin of 1.74%. On 5 March 2021, the Group repaid the historical term loan facility with the proceeds from the primary capital raise. The Group has met the covenant requirements for the year ended 31 March 2021. Liquidity risk is the risk that the Group will encounter difficulty in meeting its financial commitments as they fall due. The Group manages its liquidity risk by maintaining a target level of undrawn committed credit facilities and a spread of the maturity dates of the Group’s debt facilities that it reviews on an ongoing basis. The table below summarises the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities based on contractual payments.

The following table demonstrates the sensitivity to a reasonably possible change in interest rates on that portion of loans and borrowings. The Group’s profit before tax is affected through the impact on floating rate borrowings, as follows: NZD NZD Increase/decrease in basis points +10 –10 2021 Effect on profit before tax NZ$000 4 4 2020 Effect on profit after tax NZ$000 (478) (516) The assumed movement in basis points for the interest rate sensitivity analysis is based on the currently observable market environment. The impact on equity is the same as the impact on profit before tax. The Group enters into interest rate swaps to manage the interest rate risk on the bank loan. As at 31 March 2021, the Group had an interest rate swap agreement in place for a total notional amount of $15,000 thousand whereby the Group pays a fixed rate of interest of 2.785% and receives interest at a variable rate, which as at 31 March 2021 is 0.32%.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognised immediately in profit or loss. Financial Assets The Group’s financial assets are classified, at initial recognition, and subsequently measured at amortised cost. The Group measures financial assets at amortised cost if both of the following conditions are met: • The financial asset is held with the objective to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding. The Group’s financial assets at amortised cost includes trade receivables. Financial assets at amortised cost are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate (EIR) method and are subject to impairment. Gains and losses are recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised, modified or impaired. For trade receivables, the Group applies a simplified approach in calculating expected credit losses (ECLs). Therefore, the Group does not track changes in credit risk, but instead recognises a loss allowance based on lifetime ECLs at each reporting date. The Group has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. The Group does not measure any assets at fair value through other comprehensive income (OCI) or fair value through profit or loss. FINANCIAL LIABILITIES Financial liabilities are classified, at initial recognition, as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, loans and borrowings, payables, or as derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge, as appropriate. 55 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 Other Notes 14.

Imputation credit account The imputation credit account balance in the Group as at 31 March 2021 is $0.5 thousand (2020: $2,072 thousand). Taxation Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. CURRENT TAX The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the period. Taxable profit differs from ‘profit before tax’ as reported in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income because of items of income or expense that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Group’s current tax is calculated using tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in which applicable tax regulation is subject to interpretation and establishes provisions where appropriate on the basis of amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. DEFERRED TAX Deferred tax is recognised on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognised for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognised for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Such deferred tax assets and liabilities are not recognised if the temporary difference arises from the initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither the taxable profit nor the accounting profit. The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. 57 FINANCIAL STATEMENTS Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (continued) FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2021 Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realised, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset when there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and when the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either the same taxable entity or different taxable entities where there is an intention to settle the balances on a net basis. CURRENT AND DEFERRED TAX FOR THE PERIOD Current and deferred tax are recognised in the statement of comprehensive income, except when they relate to items that are recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred tax are also recognised in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively. Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination. 15.

The objective of strong corporate governance at My Food Bag is to lay the foundation for a culture that is open, transparent and inclusive, and which develops capability, seeks out new opportunities and drives good decision-making, in turn creating long-term, sustainable value for shareholders. This Corporate Governance Statement provides an overview of My Food Bag’s current corporate governance framework, which primarily takes into consideration contemporary corporate governance standards in New Zealand. It is therefore structured in the same manner as the NZX Corporate Governance Code (NZX Code) and discloses the extent to which My Food Bag has followed the recommendations in the NZX Code. The Board’s view is that (unless specifically stated) My Food Bag generally complies in all material respects with the principles and recommendations set out in the NZX Code. This statement was approved by the Board on 26 May 2021 and is current as at that date. Principle 1 – Code of Ethical Behaviour “Directors should set high standards of ethical behaviour, model this behaviour and hold management accountable for these standards being followed throughout the organisation.” CODE OF ETHICS My Food Bag expects its people to behave ethically and act with integrity. It has adopted a written Code of Ethics with which all of its Directors and employees are required to comply. This Code does not include an exhaustive list of what is or is not acceptable behaviour at My Food Bag – rather, it is intended to facilitate decisions and promote ethical standards that are consistent with My Food Bag’s business standards, reputation, objectives and legal obligations. The Code of Ethics (taken together with My Food Bag’s other internal policies and charters) includes the content specified in Recommendation 1.1 of the NZX Code and will be reviewed by the Board at least every two years. It is currently structured to include certain fundamental requirements for ethical behaviour generally, alongside a number of more targeted areas, including the management of conflicts of interest, protection of My Food Bag’s assets and information, reporting of unlawful or unethical behaviour, confidentiality and pursuit of corporate opportunities. The Code of Ethics is readily available to all employees at My Food Bag. In addition, every new Director and employee of My Food Bag is provided with a copy of the Code of Ethics as part of their induction to the business. Any breaches of the Code of Ethics are required to be addressed promptly, dealt with consistently and handled by senior management and/or the Board, as appropriate. The reporting of breaches of the Code of Ethics is encouraged and the steps for doing so are set out in the Code and My Food Bag’s separate Whistleblower Policy. The Code of Ethics is available to view on the My Food Bag investor website. SECURITIES TRADING POLICY My Food Bag has a Securities Trading Policy that details the Company’s trading policy and guidelines, including the restrictions on trading in the Company’s securities. It applies to all Directors, employees and contractors of My Food Bag. The requirements imposed by the policy are separate from, and in addition to, the legal prohibitions on insider trading. The Securities Trading Policy places additional restrictions on certain “restricted persons” which includes the Directors, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), the members of the Senior Leadership Team and their direct reports. These restricted persons are generally prohibited from trading in the Company’s securities during prescribed “blackout” periods. Outside of these blackout periods, the restricted persons are generally permitted to trade with the prior written consent of the Chief Financial Officer (CFO) (and subject always to compliance with underlying insider trading laws). The Securities Trading Policy is available to view on the My Food Bag investor website. 68 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021Principle 2 – Board Composition and Performance “To ensure an effective board, there should be a balance of independence, skills, knowledge, experience and perspectives.” BOARD CHARTER The role of the Board is to provide overall strategic direction to My Food Bag and effective management for the purpose of protecting and enhancing the value of My Food Bag and its assets. The Board has legal responsibility for managing the business and affairs of the Company, which, in practice, is substantially achieved through delegation to the CEO, who is charged with the day-to-day operational leadership and management of the business (and who subdelegates certain functions to other members of the Senior Leadership Team, subject to certain limitations and qualifications). The Board operates under a written Board charter, which sets out the role, responsibilities, composition, structure and approach of the Board. The charter provides guidance for the effective oversight and monitoring of the operational management of My Food Bag on behalf of shareholders, employees and other stakeholders. The charter distinguishes and discloses the respective roles and responsibilities of the Board and management – in this regard, Directors are generally free to discuss business matters with the Senior Leadership Team, but they are expected to respect the distinction between Board and management responsibilities. A copy of the Board charter is available to view on the My Food Bag investor website. NOMINATION AND APPOINTMENT OF DIRECTORS The appointment of directors to the Board is principally governed by the Companies Act 1993, the Company’s constitution and the NZX Listing Rules. The Board has delegated to the Remuneration and Nomination Committee the responsibility to make recommendations to the Board for nomination as members of the Board and its committees and the terms, if any, of such membership. This Committee is governed by its own written charter. It is responsible for identifying individuals believed to be qualified to become Board members, and to recommend to the Board the nominees to stand for election as directors at the annual shareholders’ meeting. If a casual vacancy arises, the Committee recommends to the Board an individual to fill such vacancy. In nominating candidates, the Committee may consider a range of factors and attributes, including any terms of reference for the Directors from time to time. The Committee is also responsible for reviewing nominations from shareholders and providing recommendations to the Board in respect of such nominations. The Company enters into written agreements with each of its Directors establishing the terms and conditions of their appointment, including in relation to their duties, term of appointment (subject to shareholder approval) and expectations of the role and remuneration. In addition, the Company indemnifies and arranges insurance for its Directors in accordance with applicable laws for certain claims which may be brought against them as directors. Under the NZX Listing Rules, a director must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual shareholders’ meeting following that director’s appointment or three years, whichever is longer. From time to time certain Directors may also retire early and seek reappointment at an annual shareholders’ meeting, so as to effectively stagger the appointment of Directors and better preserve continuity by avoiding a scenario where all or a majority of the Directors are required to retire at the same meeting. 69 OTHER INFORMATION Corporate Governance Statement (continued) DIRECTORS The Board currently comprises five Directors: an independent Chair, Tony Carter; three independent non-executive Directors, Sarah Hindle, Jen Bunbury and Jon Macdonald; and one non-executive Director, Chris Marshall. A profile highlighting the experience of each Director, including his or her length of service with My Food Bag, is available on My Food Bag’s website and included in the Board of Directors section of the Annual Report. Directors are chosen for their corporate leadership skills, professional backgrounds, experience and expertise. The right blend of skills and experience, combined with a diversity of perspectives, is crucial for the Board to be able to create value for My Food Bag’s shareholders over the long term. The current balance of skills, experience, tenure and diversity on the Board is summarised below: Experience Skills Tenure Diversity Board skills, experience, tenure and diversity Banking and finance Legal and regulatory Technology Consumer business Grocery Investment and M&A Financial acumen Governance and compliance Strategy and risk Grocery supply chain and logistics Customer experience and agri-tech E-commerce Investor relations 3 to 5 years Less than 3 years Female Male 1 4 40% 60% Directors are encouraged (but not required) to hold shares in the Company in order to more strongly align their interests with the interests of shareholders. All Directors currently own shares (either directly or through a related entity or trust), and those relevant interests are included in the Other Disclosures section of the Annual Report. 70 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021ATTENDANCE AT BOARD MEETINGS For the year ended 31 March 2021 Philip Maud1 Lance Jenkins1 James Robinson1 Kevin Roberts1 Theresa Gattung1 Cecilia Robinson1 Chris Marshall Tony Carter2 Jon Macdonald2 Sarah Hindle2 Jen Bunbury2 Possible number of meetings to attend Number attended3 3 3 3 3 3 3 6 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 6 3 3 3 3 The Audit and Risk Committee and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee were each established by the Board on 5 March 2021 to coincide with the listing of the Company. No meetings of these two committees were held during the short period remaining in FY21. DIVERSITY My Food Bag aims to cultivate an environment where all of its people enjoy coming to work and contributing to the collective success of the business. It is committed to creating an open workplace where every team member is welcomed, supported and inspired, and where diversity is celebrated at all levels of the business. To do this, My Food Bag actively seeks to remove perceived or tangible barriers to becoming part of the My Food Bag team and provides equal opportunities based on performance and potential. My Food Bag has a written Inclusion and Diversity Policy that is available on the My Food Bag investor website. The guiding principles of this policy include to: encourage diversity throughout the workforce; create a flexible and inclusive work environment; leverage diversity of thought and individuality; ensure the behaviour of My Food Bag’s leaders reflects its values; attract and retain talented people; and maintain a zero tolerance for bullying and harassment. This policy will be reviewed by the Board as required and at least every two years. Diversity and inclusion has been a hallmark of My Food Bag’s values since its inception, reflecting the values and expectations of the founders of the business. The Board has recently formalised these values in a written policy and is generally comfortable with My Food Bag’s current core statistics with regards to diversity and inclusion. However, work is now underway with management to explore the opportunity to establish more measurable objectives for furthering diversity which are tailored to the My Food Bag business. These may include a mixture of qualitative and quantitative assessments such as retention rates, equal pay, flexible working arrangements, organisational engagement regarding diversity, and targets for diverse board and senior management appointments. To the extent that more measurable objectives are introduced, performance against these agreed metrics will be referenced in subsequent annual reports (or other corporate governance reporting) and, where necessary, initiatives will be implemented to continue to enhance diversity. 1. Ceased to be directors of My Food Bag Group Limited on 14 January 2021. 2. Appointed as directors of My Food Bag Group Limited on 14 January 2021. 3. During FY21, various members of the Board at different times also provided oversight and strategic support to assess the impacts of COVID-19 on My Food Bag’s business and its response as an essential service, as well as participating in the due diligence process in relation to the Company’s recent IPO. In addition to the meetings noted above, regular discussions were held with management and other advisers for these purposes. 71 OTHER INFORMATIONCorporate Governance Statement (continued) The Board recognises that gender is one important and commonly reported measure of diversity. The gender composition at My Food Bag as at the last two balance dates is set out in the table below. Directors Officers2 Other employees Total 20201, 3 20211, 3 Female Male Female Male 2 4 88 94 5 4 89 98 2 4 104 110 3 4 91 98 DIRECTOR TRAINING On appointment, all Directors receive a comprehensive induction from the business to familiarise themselves with My Food Bag’s management and operations. Under its charter, the Board has also committed to ensure that new Directors are appropriately introduced to My Food Bag’s management and business, are acquainted with relevant industry knowledge and receive all appropriate papers, policies and documents to enable them to discharge their duties effectively. Visits to specific operations of the business are arranged, when appropriate, and reports and presentations from management are incorporated into the Board meeting schedule on a regular basis. More generally, Directors are expected to maintain appropriate levels of financial, legal and industry understanding, and are encouraged to take responsibility for their own professional development, including by attending relevant courses or conferences and through membership of industry bodies such as the NZ Institute of Directors. Each Director is also entitled to access Company information and to seek independent advice in respect of their role as a Director should the need arise. BOARD PERFORMANCE The Board has committed to critically evaluate its own performance and the performance of individual Directors every two years (as well as to review My Food Bag’s key policies and charters). In addition, the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee reviews that Committee’s performance at least every two years and is required to report her findings to the Board. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is tasked with making recommendations to the Board to ensure that adequate procedures are in place to review the performance of the Board as a whole, its Committees and the contributions of Directors. More generally, open and constructive discussion is encouraged at all Board and Committee meetings to ensure decisions are taken that benefit from the diverse range of skills, experiences and perspectives of Directors – in this regard, each Director is expected to fully participate in meeting discussions, having read all Board and briefing papers provided. INDEPENDENCE The Board currently comprises fives Directors. All Directors are non-executive Directors. The Board has considered which of the Directors are independent Directors for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules and has determined that, as at 5 March 2021 (the date of the Company’s listing), four Directors are independent Directors, including the Chair and the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee. The independent Directors are Tony Carter, Jen Bunbury, Jon Macdonald and Sarah Hindle. Chris Marshall is not considered to be independent at this time due to his association with a current substantial product holder of My Food Bag (Waterman Fund 3 LP). 1. As at 31 March in each year. 2. In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 3.8.1(c), an “Officer” for this purpose means a person who is concerned or takes part in the management of an issuer and reports directly to the Board or a person who reports to the Board. In My Food Bag’s circumstances, this category of person comprises members of the Senior Leadership Team. 3. Directors, officers and other employees are also given the option to elect to not specify their gender or to identify as non-binary. 72 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021The positions of Chair of the Board and CEO of My Food Bag are held by different people. The Board’s standards for determining independence of Directors includes the non-exhaustive factors set out in Recommendation 2.4 of the NZX Code, and requires the Board to ultimately assess whether a Director’s interest, position, association or relationship might interfere, or might reasonably be seen to interfere, with that Director’s capacity to bring an independent judgment to bear on issues before the Board, to act in the best interests of the Company and to represent its shareholders generally. The Board assesses the independence of Directors on their appointment and at least annually thereafter. If there is a change in the Board’s determination, it will be announced to the market. The Company maintains an Interests Register. Any Director who is interested in a transaction with the Company must immediately disclose to the Board the nature, monetary value and extent of that interest. A Director who is interested in a transaction may attend and participate at a Board meeting at which the transaction is discussed, but may not be counted in the quorum for that meeting or vote in respect of the transaction, unless it is one in respect of which Directors are expressly required by the Companies Act 1993 to sign a certificate. The particulars of entries made in My Food Bag’s Interests Register during FY21 are included in the Other Disclosures section of the Annual Report. Principle 3 – Board Committees “The board should use committees where this will enhance its effectiveness in key areas, while still retaining board responsibility.” AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE The Company has an Audit and Risk Committee which operates under its own written charter. This Committee was recently established in connection with the Company’s listing. The members of the Audit and Risk Committee are currently the same as the Board, except that the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee is Jen Bunbury who has a background in financial services and was recently the Chief Financial Officer of another major listed company. Like the Board, the Audit and Risk Committee is majority independent and comprises solely non-executive Directors of the Company. The Committee may, in its discretion, invite My Food Bag’s external auditors (currently Ernst & Young), CEO, CFO, Financial Controller and others, as appropriate, to attend committee meetings. NOMINATION AND REMUNERATION COMMITTEE The Company has a combined Nomination and Remuneration Committee which operates under its own written charter. This Committee was recently established in connection with the Company’s listing. The members of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee are currently the same as the Board, and the Chair of this Committee is Board Chair Tony Carter. Like the Board, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee is majority independent and comprises solely non-executive Directors of the Company. The primary responsibilities of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee include to identify and make recommendations to the Board in respect of Director nominations (including casual vacancies and composition of Committees), to review and recommend to the Board appropriate remuneration of non-executive Directors, and to review and approve annually the remuneration strategy for My Food Bag, including specific responsibilities in relation to the CEO and his direct reports. Management is only invited to attend meetings of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee at the invitation of the Committee. The Committee intends to meet formally at least three times a year. OTHER COMMITTEES The Board does not consider that it is necessary at this time to establish any other standing committees. However, from time to time the Board may seek to establish ad hoc or special purpose committees to examine, or have the delegated authority to deal with, specific issues. 73 OTHER INFORMATIONCorporate Governance Statement (continued) TAKEOVER PROTOCOLS The Board has established detailed takeover protocols to assist My Food Bag to prepare for, and to respond to, any unsolicited approaches or proposals it may receive in relation to a takeover. These protocols would help to inform the Board of their roles and responsibilities with respect to any approach or proposal, assist the Board and its advisers in developing and executing a response strategy, and act as a basic guide on the process for any takeover offer. These protocols include the option of forming a committee to investigate and consider the approach or proposal, with that committee to be comprised of Directors who are not interested in the relevant approach. Principle 4 – Reporting and Disclosure “The board should demand integrity in financial and non-financial reporting, and in the timeliness and balance of corporate disclosures.” CONTINUOUS DISCLOSURE My Food Bag is committed to ensuring that all investors have equal, full and timely access to material information about the Company that is accurate, balanced, meaningful and consistent. The Company has established a written Continuous Disclosure Policy which sets out the internal principles and processes designed to ensure that the Company complies with the continuous disclosure obligations under the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the NZX Listing Rules. The Board has adopted this policy and it applies to all members of the Board as well as senior managers, officers, employees and contractors of, and secondees to, My Food Bag. Directors formally consider at each Board meeting whether there is material information which should be disclosed to the market to comply with the Company’s continuous disclosure obligations. The Continuous Disclosure Policy is available to view on the My Food Bag investor website. CHARTERS AND POLICIES Information about My Food Bag’s corporate governance framework (including its Code of Ethics, Board and Committee Charters, Securities Trading Policy and other key governance policies) is available to view on the My Food Bag investor website at https://investors.myfoodbag.co.nz/investor-centre/. REPORTING Financial reporting My Food Bag publishes its half-year and audited full-year financial statements that are prepared in accordance with the relevant financial reporting standards. The audited full-year financial statements for FY21 are included in this Annual Report. The Audit and Risk Committee oversees the quality and integrity of external financial reporting including the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of financial statements. The Committee is committed to providing balanced, clear and objective financial reporting. It reviews half-year and annual financial statements and makes recommendations to the Board concerning accounting policies, areas of judgment, compliance with accounting standards, stock exchange and legal requirements, and the results of the external audit. Non-financial reporting Non-financial information is included throughout this Annual Report, including in relation to My Food Bag’s general environmental and social sustainability factors and practices. For more information, refer to the Sustainability, Community and People section of this Annual Report. As a recently listed company, My Food Bag recognises the opportunity to further formalise its sustainability framework and to set a clear set of operational or non-financial targets which are aligned with My Food Bag’s strategy, values and reputation. 74 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021Principle 5 – Remuneration “The remuneration of directors and executives should be transparent, fair and reasonable.” DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION Shareholders fix the total remuneration available for Directors. The current director fee pool limit is $600,000 per annum, which was approved by the shareholders on 14 January 2021 and is to be divided among the non-executive Directors as they see fit. Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses incurred by them in connection with their attendance at Board or shareholder meetings, or otherwise in connection with the Company’s business. No additional fees are paid to any Director for their role on any Board Committee. The current Directors do not receive any performance- or equity-based remuneration. This reflects the differences in the role of the Directors, which is to provide oversight and strategic direction, and the role of management, which is to operate the business and execute My Food Bag’s strategy. Under NZX Listing Rule 2.11.3, if the total number of Directors subsequently increases, the Directors are permitted (without seeking shareholder approval) to increase the total remuneration by the amount necessary to enable the Company to pay the additional Director or Directors remuneration not exceeding the average amount then being paid to the existing Directors (other than the Chair). The actual remuneration of Directors of the Company in respect of FY21 is included in the Other Disclosures section of the Annual Report. REMUNERATION POLICY The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is responsible for reviewing and recommending to the Board appropriate remuneration for the non-executive Directors. Where appropriate, the Board will consider advice of independent remuneration consultants when setting remuneration levels and other relevant factors when recommending Directors’ fees to shareholders. The Board will not be seeking any increase in the current fee pool limit of $600,000 at the upcoming annual meeting. My Food Bag has a separate remuneration policy that provides a framework for setting and reviewing remuneration arrangements for the officers of My Food Bag. This policy is administered by the Nomination and Remuneration Committee. The Committee may seek external advice on remuneration matters as it deems appropriate and will make recommendations to the Board in regard to the CEO’s contractual arrangements, including remuneration. The Committee may also endorse the CEO’s recommendations on the total remuneration packages for his direct reports. When setting remuneration, My Food Bag has regard to market remuneration, taking into account the complexity of the business itself, and also carefully considers the scale and complexity of the role and its performance requirements and expectations. In assessing the market competitiveness of the remuneration of the CEO or his direct reports, the primary “remuneration market” (i.e. the source of market remuneration data) against which executive remuneration packages are benchmarked is the New Zealand private sector. The Nomination and Remuneration Committee will consider benchmarked executive remuneration data at least every two years, with discretion applied if more frequent benchmarking is deemed appropriate. Remuneration of the CEO and other members of the Senior Leadership Team can include a mix of fixed and variable components, and is currently summarised as follows: • Fixed remuneration – this includes the relevant employee’s base salary and any direct cash or non-cash benefits (e.g. KiwiSaver contributions and other fringe benefits such as discounted My Food Bag meal kits and car parking). • Other variable remuneration – some members of the Senior Leadership Team (not including the CEO) are eligible to participate in a short-term incentive plan (STI) which rewards achievement against prescribed performance measures. Eligibility is generally determined by the Board and the CEO. Participating members are currently able to earn up to 20% of their base salary through the STI (or up to 15% for invitees that are not part of the Senior Leadership Team). Actual amounts earned are based 60% on overall Company performance and 40% on the individual’s performance against agreed objectives. A breakdown of employees of My Food Bag, not being Directors of the Company, who received remuneration and other benefits in their capacity as employees that exceeded $100,000 during FY21 is included in the Other Disclosures section of this Annual Report. The remuneration arrangements in relation to the CEO, Kevin Bowler, are also included in that section of the Annual Report for the purposes of Recommendation 5.3 of the NZX Code. 75 OTHER INFORMATIONCorporate Governance Statement (continued) NEW SENIOR EXECUTIVE INCENTIVE SCHEME My Food Bag has recently established a new senior executive incentive scheme in which the Board has invited the CEO and CFO to participate. Under the scheme, these senior executives will be offered a number of share rights determined by dividing a dollar value by the value of one of the Company’s shares at the date of the offer of share rights (being the date on which My Food Bag releases its FY22 results). The dollar value of the grant of share rights will be determined based upon the Company’s EBITDA and certain other performance hurdles, assessed against the Company’s performance during FY22 against the prospective financial information (or PFI) included in the Company’s recent product disclosure statement, with a grant only being made where the Company outperforms the PFI for this period. Subject to the senior executive remaining employed by My Food Bag at 30 June 2023, each share right under the initial grant (if and when made) is converted to one ordinary share. Each participating executive is liable for tax on the shares received at this point. The Board intends to consider implementing a long-term incentive (or LTI) scheme for My Food Bag’s senior management during FY22, which is not expected to have any impact on the PFI for FY22. Principle 6 – Risk Management “Directors should have a sound understanding of the material risks faced by the issuer and how to manage them. The board should regularly verify that the issuer has appropriate processes that identify and manage potential and material risks.” RISK MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK My Food Bag is committed to the process of identifying and mitigating material risks and has systems, policies and procedures in place to manage risks and to protect My Food Bag and its employees, customers, shareholders and other stakeholders. While no risk management system can ever be infallible, the overriding objective at My Food Bag is to make sure that at all times material risks are appropriately identified and managed within acceptable levels. The Board is ultimately responsible for endorsing My Food Bag’s risk management framework and policies, monitoring compliance, reviewing risk registers, considering advice and recommendations made by the Audit and Risk Committee and, where appropriate, responding to serious risk incidents. The CEO and other members of the Senior Leadership Team are required to review, approve and take ownership of the day-to-day management and operation of My Food Bag’s risk management framework and associated policies and procedures. This includes identifying new risks within each senior employee’s area of responsibility, allocating “risk owners” to each risk, maintaining a risk register, undertaking periodic risk assessments and preparing appropriate risk mitigation plans or controls. This risk management framework is embedded into My Food Bag’s processes, including the annual planning and budgeting processes, project management, procurement and reporting. As a general rule, different risks will have different risk treatments depending on the severity and nature of the risk – these risk treatments include avoidance, mitigation, acceptance and transfer (e.g. through insurance or contract). The Board is provided with updates from the Senior Leadership Team at least every quarter, including an update on any new risks identified, the status of any risk incidents that have occurred (or are heightened or emerging) and the adequacy of any action plans and controls. More generally, risk owners report any risk incidents that have occurred (or are heightened) (including new risks that have emerged) to the Senior Leadership Team as soon as practicable so that they can consider how best to manage or control that risk. If the matter escalated is material, it will be promptly reported to the Board. At the same time, the CFO and the Board will consider whether any disclosure is required to the market under the Company’s continuous disclosure obligations. 76 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021PRINCIPAL BUSINESS RISKS AND KEY STRATEGIES TO MITIGATE My Food Bag is currently focused on eight principal business risks across its business (not including health and safety risks which My Food Bag has an ongoing focus on). These risks are dynamic and in the future the importance or extent of each risk may change, or new risks and uncertainties may materialise, owing to changes in economic or environmental conditions, the regulatory environment and other factors (e.g. COVID-19). For the purposes of this Annual Report and Recommendation 6.1 of the NZX Code, a high-level description of these principal business risks is provided below.1 Area Food safety Description of risk Key strategies to mitigate Customers could become unwell as a result of eating our products (e.g. where products contain foreign objects or harmful bacteria). We may have to withdraw products. Our reputation could be impacted and we may face other regulatory consequences. We have strict and thorough procedures in place for food handling and safety. These include inward checks of ingredients, monitoring cold chain settings, removal of damaged products, maintenance of incident registers and quality control standards, and checks of products prepared by third parties. We also continually monitor customer feedback and have strict supplier standards, including an “Approved Supplier Programme”. Regular food safety audits are undertaken to ensure our procedures meet recommended standards. We have systems and processes in place to lessen the likelihood that our business would be subject to or affected by a cyber-attack. This includes compliance with high standards of data protection and frequent identification and reporting on any weaknesses or issues in our existing system. We have also implemented alternative communication channels for our customers, have good relationships with our suppliers, have back-up systems in place to ensure data and business continuity is maintained and do not hold any customer credit card details. We operate decentralised assembly centres with robust systems and procedures in place to prevent serious disruption. This includes a secondary assembly site in Auckland, providing an ability to move and restart a proportion of our operations. Assembly centres have heat and smoke detection systems to identify fires before they spread. Windsock and ammonia alarms are included at assembly centres that utilise ammonia as a refrigerant. We also maintain relationships with a range of temporary labour suppliers to mitigate risks of temporary labour shortages or cost pressure. We use a reliable third-party distributor, NZ Post, with an extensive distribution network. We also have alternative transport providers available to us at short notice for all main centres. Appropriate driver training and insurance is arranged. We prepare ‘buffer bags’ each week to cover damaged or lost orders, and we have alternative sales channels in place that we can utilise. IT and data security Access to our IT systems could be impacted (e.g. by a cyber-attack) and we may be unable to communicate with our customers or suppliers effectively. This could impact our ability to accept orders or fulfil our commitments. Product assembly Product assembly could be disrupted by an event (e.g. fire, power outage or lack of availability of temporary labour). This could result in us being late or unable to deliver to customers, which could lead to refunds, credits or cancelled subscriptions. Distribution Our distribution network could be interrupted (e.g. by weather or road closures). This could result in us being late or unable to deliver to customers, which could lead to refunds, credits or cancelled subscriptions. Products could also be stolen or damaged. 1. Certain financial risks are separately disclosed in the audited FY21 financial statements included in this Annual Report. 77 OTHER INFORMATIONCorporate Governance Statement (continued) Area COVID-19 Description of risk Key strategies to mitigate Product assembly could be disrupted by a worker testing positive for COVID-19 or we could be required to withdraw a product as a result of a positive case elsewhere in the supply chain. We are designated as an “essential service” enabling us to continue operating at different government Alert Levels. We also operate decentralised assembly centres (reducing risk of widespread disruption) and have specific site requirements (including protective equipment, social distancing, shift separation and temperature checks). The measures we have in place have been tested during the New Zealand Government’s Alert Level 4 lockdown and most recent lockdowns. We also have a detailed response plan in place if an individual at an assembly centre or at a supplier’s premises tests positive. My Food Bag already operates in this competitive industry as a long-standing meal-kit provider. We have high levels of brand advocacy, a diverse product range, and experience in adapting our strategy in response to the actions of competitors. We continue to develop new products in response to customer preferences and continue to improve customer experience. We retain an ability to substitute ingredients, change upcoming menus or seek to pass on sustained price increases to customers. We communicate any changes clearly and appropriately with our customers. We have a long association with our brand ambassadors and go through a careful process when selecting new brand ambassadors. We also monitor content and follow up rapidly if any inappropriate or offensive content is identified. Competition Customers may switch to existing competitors, including in response to discounting or other promotions, or a new competitor may enter the market and seek to gain market share. Ingredients Brand and marketing An ingredient could become unavailable (e.g. due to inclement weather) or more expensive, impacting our ability to satisfy customer needs. A brand ambassador or promoter could be brought under public scrutiny and bring into question the integrity of our brand and cause a loss of goodwill and customer trust. HEALTH AND SAFETY My Food Bag is very conscious of the importance of health and safety. The business adopts a systematic approach to the management of health and safety risks and has comprehensive health and safety documentation in place. Detailed health and safety policies, standards and procedures are implemented alongside hazard and risk management processes, including an incident notification and management system. The business encourages active involvement by Directors, management, employees and contractors to participate in improving health and safety within the organisation. The business focuses internally on critical risks, with a strong emphasis on managing risks. For example, My Food Bag manages the risk of operating moving equipment inside assembly centres safely through the use of an InfoLink forklift tracking system and by distancing equipment like forklifts from workers, while also adopting strict traffic management and separation procedures. Each site operates a Health and Safety Committee, which meets monthly and the Senior Leadership Team and Board are active participants in site safety audits. In response to COVID-19, My Food Bag designed and implemented a COVID-19 Prevention and Control Protocol, which outlines the actions the business takes to prevent and control the transmission of COVID-19 throughout all the New Zealand Government’s COVID-19 Alert Levels. This protocol ensures minimal adjustment is required if New Zealand re-enters Alert Levels 3 or 4. 78 MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021Principle 7 – Auditors “The board should ensure the quality and independence of the external audit process.” AUDIT My Food Bag is committed to maintaining auditor independence, consistent with best-practice governance and regulatory requirements. The Company has adopted an Auditor Independence Policy that is administered by the Audit and Risk Committee. The objective of this policy is to ensure that My Food Bag’s auditors carry out their functions independently and without impairment, safeguarding the reliability and credibility of My Food Bag’s external financial reporting. The policy addresses Recommendation 7.1 of the NZX Code and includes the criteria for approval of an external audit firm, the monitoring of audit impendence, the audit rotation requirements, the circumstances where it may be appropriate for an auditor to provide non-audit services and the responsibilities of My Food Bag (including in relation to the monitoring of audit performance, value and fees). Ernst & Young, as auditor of the FY21 financial statements, will be invited to attend this year’s annual shareholders’ meeting and will be available to answer questions about the conduct of the audit, preparation and content of the auditor’s report, accounting policies adopted by My Food Bag and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit. While My Food Bag does not have a dedicated internal audit function, it has, in addition to the external audit process, an internal framework through which it seeks to review, evaluate and continually improve risk management and internal control processes. Where appropriate, more specific audits are carried out by My Food Bag using external providers or regulators. Principle 8 – Shareholder rights and relations “The board should respect the rights of shareholders and foster constructive relationships with shareholders that encourage them to engage with the issuer.” SHAREHOLDER INFORMATION My Food Bag’s investor website has been recently launched in connection with the Company’s listing. It contains a comprehensive set of investor-related material and data, including market disclosures and media releases, annual reports, share-price and dividend information, shareholder meeting materials and all My Food Bag’s important governance charters and policies. SHAREHOLDER COMMUNICATION Shareholders have the option of receiving their communications electronically, including by email, and are actively encouraged to take up this option. My Food Bag is committed to open dialogue with shareholders and welcomes investor enquiries. Following each results announcement, My Food Bag intends to hold an investor call to present the results and to allow investors to ask questions. RIGHT TO VOTE ON MAJOR DECISIONS In accordance with the Companies Act 1993, the Company’s constitution and NZX Listing Rules, the Company refers any significant matters to shareholders for approval at the annual shareholders’ meeting, and shareholders are given the opportunity to vote by proxy ahead of the meeting or by polling if attending the meeting in person or virtually. If a significant transaction or decision requiring shareholder approval were to arise outside the period of the annual shareholders’ meeting, a special meeting of the shareholders would be called by the Board to allow shareholders to consider and vote on that matter. NOTICE OF ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS’ MEETINGS The annual meeting of shareholders is held at a convenient time and location and this year is anticipated to be run as a hybrid meeting (being a combination of the physical meeting as well as a virtual online meeting) or as a virtual-only meeting. This is due to the uncertainties around COVID-19 and given the desire to maximise participation. The annual shareholders’ meeting is expected to be held on 20 August 2021. The Notice of Meeting will be circulated at least 20 working days before the meeting and will also be posted on the My Food Bag investor website. 79 OTHER INFORMATIONOther Disclosures STOCK EXCHANGE LISTINGS The Company’s ordinary shares are listed and quoted on the NZX Main Board and the ASX under the company code ‘MFB’. The Company’s listing on the ASX is as a Foreign Exempt Listing. This category of listing on the ASX is based on a principle of substituted compliance recognising that, for secondary listings, the primary regulatory role and oversight rests with the home exchange and the supervisory regulator in that jurisdiction. Therefore, the Company must comply with the NZX Listing Rules, but is exempt from almost all the ASX Listing Rules. For the purpose of ASX Listing Rule 1.15.3, the Company confirms that it continues to comply with the NZX Listing Rules.

The figures do not include amounts paid after 31 March 2021 relating to FY21; long-term incentives that vested during FY21 in connection with the Company’s previous Senior Executive Share Ownership Scheme1; and fringe benefits provided to employees such as product concessions or car parking. 1. The value of the one-off share options that vested during FY21 (under the Company’s previous ownership) is disclosed on the next page. These options were not included in the table above so that the table more accurately illustrates the value of usual remuneration received by employees (mainly salaries and bonuses) and to allow for a more meaningful year-on-year comparison as a listed company. 84 Other Disclosures (continued)MY FOOD BAG GROUP LIMITED ANNUAL REPORT 2021Senior Executive Share Ownership Scheme As noted in the Company’s recent PDS, under the Company’s Senior Executive Share Ownership Scheme (which no longer operates following the Company’s listing) members of the Senior Leadership Team as well as three (former) non-executive Directors during the period received options that vested and were exercised during FY21 (and prior to listing). The number of employees or non-executive Directors and the number of shares they received from the exercise of these options is set out in the table below.1 Shares 151,275 453,825 504,250 1,008,500 4,437,400 Value received $258,934 $776,801 $863,113 $1,726,225 $7,595,390 Number of participants 3 1 3 3 1 Each participant wishing to exercise his or her options was required to pay the exercise price for each option, and this was funded by a short-term interest free loan by the Company. Each participant was permitted to sell up to 75% of the shares received under the scheme through the IPO, with the proceeds being used to repay the interest-free loans provided by the Company and any remaining amount retained by those participants (including to meet their tax obligations). For the purpose of this Annual Report, the value attributed to this share-based remuneration is calculated by using the share price of the shares received at the time the options were exercised (being $1.85) and deducting the exercise price for the options. These participants are subject to certain escrow arrangements in respect of their remaining shares, which generally continue until the first business day after the Company announces its FY22 results. Directors’ remuneration and other benefits The total remuneration and value of other benefits received by each Director and former Director of the Company in respect of FY21, as well as the nature of the services to which that remuneration, or those other benefits, relates (other than services provided in a person’s capacity as a director) is set out below.

As set out in the notes to the financial statements, share options also vested in favour of founder and brand ambassador, Nadia Lim, albeit Nadia was not an employee or director of My Food Bag during the period and so the value of her vested options and the number of shares received is not included in this table. 2. Ceased to be Directors of the Company on 14 January 2021. 3. The total remuneration and value of other benefits for FY21 includes an additional amount paid to Tony Carter ($16,493), Jen Bunbury ($7,658) and Jon Macdonald ($10,014) for their participation in the due diligence process in relation to the Company’s IPO. 4. In addition to director fees, James Robinson, Cecilia Robinson and Kevin Roberts participated in the Company’s previous option scheme (discussed above) and each received options that vested and were exercised during FY21 (and prior to listing). Mr Roberts received 504,250 shares under the scheme, whereas James Robinson and Cecilia Robinson each received 1,008,500 shares. Directors’ fees are gross amounts in NZD, exclude GST (where applicable) and are rounded to the nearest dollar. 5. 85 OTHER INFORMATIONShareholders fix the total remuneration available for Directors. The current Director fee pool limit is $600,000 per annum, which was approved by the shareholders on 14 January 2021 and is to be divided among the non-executive Directors as they see fit. The current Directors do not receive any performance- or equity-based remuneration. No additional fees are paid to any Director for their role on any Board committee. Directors are entitled to be reimbursed for all reasonable travel, accommodation and other expenses incurred by them in connection with their attendance at meetings, or otherwise in connection with the Company’s business. The Company has granted indemnities, as permitted by law, in favour of each of its Directors. The Company also maintains insurance for its Directors and officers. No employee of My Food Bag who is appointed as an executive director of the Company’s subsidiary, My Food Bag Limited, receives or retains any remuneration or other similar benefits in their capacity as a Director, except for the benefit of indemnification and insurance referenced above. CEO REMUNERATION The remuneration and other benefits paid to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of My Food Bag, Kevin Bowler, during FY21 are set out in the table below. For clarity, Mr Bowler did not participate in the one-off COVID-19 discretionary payments paid to senior leaders in FY21 and is ineligible for the Company’s short term incentive plan (STI).3 Remuneration Base salary1 Other benefits2 FY21 (NZ$) $509,500 $15,285 FY20 (NZ$) $500,000 $15,000 In addition, under the Company’s Senior Executive Share Ownership Scheme (which no longer operates following the Company’s listing) Mr Bowler received options that vested and were exercised during FY21, entitling Mr Bowler to be issued 4,437,400 shares in the Company. The value attributed to this share-based remuneration is $7,595,390, which has been calculated by using the share price of the shares received at the time the options were exercised (being $1.85) and deducting the exercise price for the options. Mr Bowler is responsible for meeting his own tax obligations in respect of this share-based remuneration. Mr Bowler continues to hold 1,109,350 shares in the Company, and these shares are subject to an escrow arrangement which generally continues until the first business day after the Company announces its FY22 results. No long term incentive plan operated during FY21. That said, Mr Bowler (together with the CFO, Mark Winter) was invited to participate in a Senior Executive Incentive Scheme. Under the Scheme, Mr Bowler will be offered a number of share rights determined by dividing a dollar value by the value of one share in the Company as at the date of the offer of the share rights (being the date on which the Company releases its FY22 results). The dollar value of the grant of the share rights will be determined based upon the Company’s EBITDA and certain other performance hurdles, assessed against the Company’s performance during FY22 against the PFI included in the Company’s recent PDS, with a grant only being made where the Company outperforms the PFI for this period. The share rights, if and when granted, only vest if Mr Bowler (and Mr Winter in respect of his incentive) remains employed with My Food Bag at 30 June 2023. Base salary is not at risk. 1. 2. Includes a contribution of 3% of gross earnings towards Mr Bowler’s KiwiSaver scheme. 3.
