Upfront purchase price includes completion adjustments, including in relation to the 2021 crop, which is currently being harvested, to transfer the economic benefit to Costa.1 In respect of the 'Conaghans' land development, a put and call option deed has been entered into between Costa and the vendor and, subject to the vendor completing the agreed planting and development plan, is expected to result in the sale of this land to Costa in 2023 for c.$31m. The vendor has committed to support transition activities and to work for Costa on a consultancy basis until the end of the current season harvest. Costa expects to offer employment to all existing 2PH employees who form part of the management group at the farm or pack facility level. As per Costa's existing marketing relationship with 2PH, Costa has been directly managing the sale of the 2021 to-date crop including both domestic and international sales. A transitional services agreement and other transitional arrangements will be put in place. While the Acquisition is structured to provide Costa the economic ownership of the 2021 crop, the pre- completion profits are taken into account in the final purchase price (after adjustments), not accounting profit. Costa's CY21 expected financial results will only include performance from Completion. June/July/August are expected to be largest crop months for 2PH subject to production.

Berry category performance saw favourable pricing with lower volumes. There were associated impacts from higher industry supply of avocados, resulting in lower pricing in the category. Monarto volumes continued below expectation although retail demand in particular supported mushroom pricing throughout the half. Tomato yields progressively improved, matching steady demand, and short-term pricing pressure eased towards the end of the half 。 Colignan hailstorm damage on 1 January 2021 progressively impacted over the half as initial grape crop damage estimates deteriorated. In addition, our third party network suffered from industry wide poor quality resulting in poor export returns. Based on unaudited management estimates, forecast first half results are as follows: A$'m Revenue EBITDA-S NPAT-S Costa Group Holdings Limited African Blue Morocco's Best Bluebe 1HCY21 1HCY 20 ~ 627 612.4 ~124 119.3 ~ 44 43.1 Driscoll's Kalady fingers Only the Finest Berries" LOVACADO. Aussie avos. From Costa. NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES MUSH BOOM! TO THE RESCUE Perino Vitor itor AUSTRALIA'S BEST AUSTRALIA'S BEST 28#29> Group trading update 1HCY21 (continued) International segment ○ Both Morocco and China seasons have largely been completed, with overall performance very positive versus previous year. О ○ China will finish with net positive volumes. There was strong pricing and demand over the season, particularly for our premium blueberry varieties, and as previously advised performance was also helped by lower imports of South American fruit into the market earlier in the year. Morocco will deliver a solid performance, with volumes in line with budget, driven by favourable timing of earlier fruit and stronger pricing. The season also benefited from delayed timing of main Spanish blueberry crop. As previously advised, whilst International results are well ahead of the prior comparative period reported results for this segment have been negatively impacted by the higher Australian dollar. Produce segment O The domestic produce categories are delivering a mixed performance for the first half. O Berry category - There was generally favourable pricing across the four main berry varieties and ultimately in line with expectations. Blueberry pricing was impacted in part by some quality issues in Tasmania. There was a stronger than usual finish to the Tasmanian season with positive tonnage over the later part of the season, however overall volumes were down due to climatic conditions versus pcp and a shortage of labour during peak harvest periods.

Overall mushroom demand conditions remain strong going into the cooler months. Avocado category - As previously noted sustained higher volumes contributed to significantly lower pricing and category performance. Export activity has been positive year to date with volumes already surpassing CY20 but coming off a low base, and this continues to be a focus into the future. Tomato category - Increased field tomato supply impacted short term pricing, particularly truss varieties and to a lesser extent snacking and cocktail. Volumes were down due to poorer growing conditions. Retail and wholesale pricing improved over May and June heading into second half. Citrus category - The impact of the previously advised hail damage to our Colignan (Vic) table grape crop resulted in significantly lower production volumes from this farm and a subsequent earnings impact. The early citrus harvest through May and June delivered tonnage ahead of forecast due primarily to early timing of the mandarin harvest. As previously advised fruit fly restrictions has impacted performance adding additional cost.

TO THE NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES RESCUE Perino Vitor AUSTRALIA'S BEST itor AUSTRALIA'S BEST 30 30#31> Group trading update 1HCY21 (continued) Capex, debt and growth update ○ ○ Acquisitions undertaken during the half included the Sunraysia located KW Orchards citrus farm and associated packing operations (acquired March 2021). The KW acquisition increases our citrus footprint in Sunraysia to 700 planted hectares. The company also signed an agreement to acquire the assets of Select Fresh, a leading Western Australian based wholesale distribution business specialising in the supply of fresh produce to foodservice and independent supermarkets. The acquisition is expected to be completed in July 2021 and will be run under the Costa Farms and Logistics (CF&L) business unit. It expands our CF&L offering into Western Australia, increases our supplier grower base and provides a strong platform to extend our supply relationship with National customers particularly in the catering & meal kit segments. Further updates on existing growth projects will be reported at the half year results release in August 2021. Debt levels continued to be consistent with the company's target gearing range of between 1.5 to 2 times EBITDA-SL. The Company expects net debt (excluding lease liabilities) at 30 June 2021 to be approximately $211 million, which represents an approximate leverage ratio of 1.4x. The increase in net debt from $143.9 million at 27 December 2020 reflects the previously announced acquisition of KW Orchards, maintenance capex back to pre COVID levels, seasonality of working capital and execution of previously announced growth projects including tomato glasshouse four and China berry plant development.

TO THE NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES RESCUE Perino Vitor AUSTRALIA'S BEST itor AUSTRALIA'S BEST 31#32CY21 Outlook > The citrus season is an 'on year' with resultant higher yields, which are overall currently tracking to forecast, noting the Riverland will deliver a likely more favourable than forecast yield. Fruit quality is ahead of expectations, with volume of first grade product up on the previous year at the same time. Fruit fly treatment costs will apply for the entire season (restrictions in place to December 2021) and supply chain impacts are likely ongoing in some export markets as differing levels of restrictions remain. Export pricing is expected to remain consistent with previous years, noting the higher Australian dollar. Labour has been guaranteed for the season, but with additional quarantine cost. Anticipated that Western Australian avocado crops will be strong, further contributing to higher avocado supply and lower prices continuing over the second half and resulting in a performance well below expectations. Early tonnages of Arana blueberry variety have attracted a price premium in FNQ, however initial indications are challenging with respect to meeting expected overall yield target. The main Corindi New South Wales crop is yet to commence, but current volumes and pricing are forecast to be in line with expectations. Mushroom production levels are stabilising and are anticipated to progressively improve over the second half as the work continues on addressing yield and labour challenges. Tomato pricing for truss varieties continues to return to more normal levels and the expectation is this will continue over the second half, including more positive snacking and cocktail pricing. Planting will begin on schedule in July 2021 in the new glasshouse four. Apart from the labour challenge at the Monarto mushroom facility, the company expects to have sufficient labour to harvest its crops over the second half. At this point in time, based on current information, Costa expects CY21 EBITDA-S and NPAT-S to be marginally ahead of CY20 (which were $197.2 million and $55.1 million) prior to taking into account the impacts of the acquisition and the equity raising.

A non-exhaustive list of key risks, including those specific to the Acquisition and to an investment in Costa, and those of a more general nature, is set out below. The effect or performance of the Acquisition and Costa's business, financial condition, or results of operations (and the market price of its Shares) could be materially and adversely affected by any of these risks, either individually or in combination. Before investing in Costa, you should consider whether this investment is suitable for you having regard to publicly available information (including this Presentation), and your own investment objectives and financial circumstances. You should also consider seeking professional guidance from your stockbroker, solicitor, accountant or other professional adviser before deciding whether to invest. Acquisition Risks Failure to complete and delay The Transaction Documentation is subject to certain conditions precedent which are customary for a transaction of this nature. A failure of a condition precedent to be satisfied or waived would mean that the Transaction would not complete. If the Transaction Documentation is terminated by the Sellers because Costa is unable to complete the Acquisition due to its default, Costa would be required to forfeit its deposit of an amount equal to $9.4m and there may be additional remedies available to the Sellers including damages for breach of contract. If the Acquisition is not completed for any reason, Costa may consider ways to return the proceeds of the equity raising (net of transaction costs) to shareholders or use the funds to retire debt or a combination of both. If completion of the Acquisition is delayed, Costa may incur additional costs and it may take longer than anticipated for Costa to realise the benefits of the Acquisition. Further, a significant delay to completion may have adverse effects on Costa and or the target business ("Business"), including in terms of growth, employee engagement or funding costs. Any failure to complete, or delay in completing, the Acquisition and/or any action required to be taken to return capital to shareholders who participated in the Offer, may have a material adverse effect on Costa's financial condition, results of operations and the market price of its Shares. Analysis of Acquisition Costa has undertaken financial, tax, legal, commercial, and technical analysis of the Business in order to determine its attractiveness to Costa and whether to proceed with the Acquisition. It is possible that despite such analysis and the best estimate assumptions made by Costa, the conclusions drawn are inaccurate or are not realised. To the extent that the actual results achieved by the Acquisition are different to those indicated by Costa's analysis, there is a risk that the performance of Costa following the Acquisition may be different (including in a materially adverse way) from what is reflected in this Presentation. Foreign markets, and in particular China, are a key revenue stream for the Business which form part of Costa's financial analysis, estimates and assumptions. Geopolitical risks, including the intervention of foreign governments in free trade (see further "Changes to importation trade barriers" on page 48), may result in disruption to export markets. Even though Costa may be able to reroute produce from the Business into alternative markets, this disruption may result in such analysis and assumptions not being fully realised (e.g. lower than expected margins). Reliance on information provided Costa undertook a due diligence process in respect of the Acquisition, which relied in part on the review of financial and other information provided by the Sellers or discussed at meetings held with the Business' management. Despite making reasonable efforts, Costa has not been able to verify the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of all the information which was provided by the Sellers. If any information provided and relied upon by Costa in its due diligence and preparation of this Presentation proves to be incorrect, incomplete or misleading, there is a risk that the actual financial position and performance of the Business and Costa may be materially different to the expectations and targets reflected in this Presentation. Investors should also note that there can be no assurance that the due diligence conducted was conclusive, and that all material issues and risks in respect of the Acquisition have been identified and avoided or managed appropriately (for example, because it was not always possible to negotiate indemnities or representations and warranties from the Sellers to cover all potential identified or unidentified risks). Therefore, there is a risk that issues and exposure to risks may arise which may also have a material adverse impact on Costa's operations, financial performance and position (for example, Costa may later discover liabilities, defects or gaps which were not identified through due diligence or for which there is no contractual protection for Costa).

AUSTRALIA'S BEST itor AUSTRALIA'S BEST 41#42Key risks (continued) ( Integration There is a risk that Costa's success and profitability following completion of the Acquisition could be adversely affected if the Business is not integrated into Costa's operations effectively. There is a risk that integration could take longer, be more complex or cost more than expected, encounter unexpected challenges or issues, divert management attention or that the anticipated benefits and synergies of the integration may be less than estimated. Possible problems may include: differences in culture between the businesses being integrated; lack of capability and talent to deliver integration; unanticipated or higher than expected costs, delays or failures relating to integration of businesses, support operations, accounting or other systems; challenges maintaining existing customer, stakeholder and sales relationships; loss of, or reduction in, key personnel, expert capability or employee productivity, or failure to procure or retain employees; and disruption of ongoing operations of other Costa businesses. Any failure to achieve the targeted synergies of integration may impact on the financial performance, operation and position of Costa and the future trading price of Shares. Conaghans property As part of the Acquisition Costa is likely to pay an additional $31m in July 2023 for the purchase of the 'Conaghans' property, where a new citrus crop is currently being planted by the Sellers, subject to certain conditions and price adjustments. This property is expected to increase the Business' planted hectares and volume of citrus available for sale. There is no certainty that the 'Conaghans' property development will complete as expected or scheduled, and any delay or failure to complete is likely to adversely impact the benefits from the Acquisition that can be realised by Costa. Risks associated with intellectual property rights As part of the Acquisition, Costa will acquire certain registered trade marks and trade mark applications from the Sellers, as well as an exclusive licence to commercialise several citrus varieties in certain geographic territories. There is a risk that some of the trade mark applications acquired by Costa may not proceed to registration in certain territories, and that the scope of trade mark protection may not cover all relevant territories in which Costa intends to market and sell the varieties. Also, Costa may be unable to prevent unauthorised use of the intellectual property rights in the varieties in some relevant territories. Costa's inability to prevent unauthorised use of intellectual property rights relevant to its business could result in significant loss and expense to Costa. Further, Costa's inability to use certain intellectual property rights in key territories may materially and adversely impact Costa's business, operations, profitability and prospects. Pursuing unauthorised use or rejected trade mark applications, and other disputes in relation to the relevant intellectual property rights, may also adversely impact Costa's operations and ability to integrate the Business, and may involve significant costs of litigation and the diversion of management attention, any of which may adversely impact Costa's results of operations, profitability and prospects. Water rights The Business relies on access to its allocated water rights under water licences leased to the Business by the Sellers. These water rights are contingent on there being sufficient water in the Fairbairn system. If there was insufficient water in the Fairbairn system, then some or all of the Business' allocated water rights may not be available. Although the Business has significant water storage capacity, if the Fairbairn system remains affected by drought for a prolonged period, then this could increase the costs of temporary water rights and ultimately could have a material adverse impact on the ability of Costa to obtain sufficient water to maintain healthy citrus trees for the Business and consequently impact the citrus yield and the financial performance and prospects of Costa. Prolonged drought conditions and changes in government can increase the risk of regulatory changes, which may result in adverse modifications to the allocated water rights leased to the Business. Labour The Business relies on the availability of farm labour, including seasonal workers under certain government schemes, in particular during the harvest season. The ongoing availability of workers and the ability of the Business to employ and house workers are key factors for Costa's ability to realise the expected returns from the Acquisition.

TO THE RESCUE Perino Vitor AUSTRALIA'S BEST itor AUSTRALIA'S BEST 42 22#43Key risks (continued) >> Acquisition accounting and intangible assets As part of the Acquisition, Costa will need to perform a fair value assessment of the Business' assets (including intangibles) and liabilities. The fair value estimates contained in the pro-forma balance sheet in this Presentation are management's preliminary estimates and are subject to change when the detailed fair value assessment is performed. As a result, the combined group's depreciation and amortisation charges may differ from the depreciation charges of Costa and the Business as separate businesses, which may have an adverse impact on the financial position and performance of the combined group. In the event that goodwill, plant and equipment or any other intangible assets are required to be impaired under the Australian Accounting Standards post completion, this will result in an additional non-cash expense in the income statement of Costa. Risks associated with the size and business mix of the Acquisition The Business, if acquired by Costa, will be a material part of Costa's business. Costa's financial position and performance could be adversely impacted if the Business does not perform as expected. The Acquisition will increase the proportion of Costa's earnings from citrus and exports which increases Costa's exposure to any underperformance of the citrus category or challenges in export markets. Financial contribution in CY21 The earnings and cash flow contribution of the Acquisition in CY21 is uncertain given the timing of completion and outworkings of the agreed purchase price adjustment mechanisms. Having regard to the accounting treatment of acquisitions during a financial period, the CY21 result will not reflect a full-year contribution of the Acquisition. The pro-forma financial metrics disclosed in this Presentation are included to educate investors on the expected financial profile of the Acquisition but are not reflective of the expected contribution to Costa's CY21 earnings and cash flow. The first full year of ownership by Costa of the Acquisition will be CY22. Risks associated with Costa's operations The following is a summary of certain key risks that apply to Costa (including, following completion of the Acquisition, the Business) and may adversely affect the returns on and value of Costa Shares. Weather and climate variability Costa's financial results may be negatively impacted by variable weather conditions and severe weather events, which can cause price and yield volume volatility in the fresh produce sector. The nature of the potential impact on Costa's results may vary by produce category and the weather condition or event. Although drought conditions eased throughout CY20, there is no certainty of what weather conditions will be in CY21 and beyond. Volatile weather conditions in areas where Costa has significant operations may materially and adversely impact on Costa's profitability in those areas. Costa could also suffer losses due to climate change. Climate change is systemic in nature and is a significant long-term driver of both financial and non-financial risks. Climate change related impacts include physical risks from changing climatic conditions (including increased frequency and severity of storms, floods and other catastrophic events and widespread health emergencies), and transition risks (such as changes to laws and regulations, technology development and disruptions and consumer preferences). A failure to respond to the potential and expected impacts of climate change may affect Costa's performance and could have wide-ranging impacts for Costa's business, prospects, reputation, financial performance or financial condition. Weather and climate variability can negatively impact both Costa and its competitors, however there is a risk that Costa is more negatively impacted by weather that its competitors in a given period for a number of reasons including but not limited to the location of Costa's farming assets, operational processes and decisions, and its supply chain. Costa can underperform competitors during both weak and strong industry conditions for its categories. Approximately two-thirds of Costa's produce related EBITDA before SGARA in CY20 was derived from crops grown under cover indoors or under permanent tunnels. Although Costa uses protected cropping techniques across most of its crops (i.e. mushrooms, berries and tomatoes) with the goal of limiting variability in yields, these techniques may not achieve that goal. For example, Costa's tomato glasshouses and the unprotected crops such as citrus and avocado farms are vulnerable to hail. While Costa maintains insurance cover for hail damage to its glasshouses, it may not be able to recover fully under those policies in all circumstances. Any amounts that Costa does recover may not be sufficient to offset damage to the financial performance or prospects of Costa.

TO THE RESCUE Perino Vitor AUSTRALIA'S BEST itor AUSTRALIA'S BEST 43 43#44Key risks (continued) >> Pricing risk and industry supply Costa's financial performance depends on the price it can realise for its produce. Pricing is variable and subject to a number of factors outside Costa's control, including changes in demand and supply. Excess supply can cause price competition in the fresh fruit and vegetable industry. For example, pricing across the avocado category has softened during CY21 as a result of significant industry volumes. If overall industry production in categories in which Costa competes are higher than expected, Costa's operating results can be negatively impacted. Industry production depends on season harvest results (including yield and timing) and industry capacity which changes over time. Water rights Costa relies on access to its allocated water rights for half of its citrus and grape crop in the Riverland and surrounding Southern regions. Costa has access to permanent water licences and their allocated water rights in respect of approximately 50% of its needs from the Murray River. The balance is purchased by Costa under forward supply agreements, temporary water purchases and carry over. With respect to CY21, under a full allocation scenario, Costa has secured approximately 50% of the balance required with fixed pricing under contractual commitments. These water rights are contingent on there being sufficient water in the Murray River. If there is insufficient water in the Murray River, then some or all of Costa's allocated water rights may not be available. If the Southern Murray Darling Basin remains affected by drought for a prolonged period, then this could further increase the costs of temporary water rights and ultimately could have a material adverse impact on the ability of Costa to obtain sufficient water to maintain healthy citrus trees, grape vines or viable fruit for its citrus farms in the Riverland and Sunraysia regions and consequently impact Costa's citrus and grape crop yield and the financial performance and prospects of Costa. Prolonged drought conditions and changes in government can increase the risk of regulatory changes, which may result in adverse modifications to Costa's allocated water rights. Forecasting risk There are inherent challenges in forecasting agricultural businesses such as Costa due to the potential impact of factors outside of Costa's control. As has been demonstrated in prior years, Costa has had periods of upgrading previous guidance and periods of downgrading guidance. Actual results may differ from forecast results due to a range of both external and internal factors. Reliance on large customers Costa sells its produce to a number of large customers, including several large supermarket chains and other retailers. Costa's top three customers comprised approximately two thirds of CY20 produce sales. Most of Costa's customer contracts are short term, with supply periods typically for one season or one to two years depending on the product's seasonality, and generally do not contain a fixed cost price and accordingly are supplied at market prices which are subject to fluctuation and depend on the level of supply and demand at the time that the produce is sold. Some of these large customers currently, or could in the future, wield significant market power due to their size, putting them in a strong negotiating position with their fresh produce suppliers. Costa's market shares and/or profit margins may be materially and adversely impacted by a large customer taking actions harmful to Costa's interests, including by such customers: materially changing its trading terms with Costa; vertically diversifying its operations to include the growing or wholesale marketing of fresh produce; sponsoring the expansion of one or more of Costa's competitors or new entrants into the fresh fruit and vegetables market; procuring produce directly from Costa's third party growers, i.e. without the intermediation of Costa; promoting the products of one or more of Costa's competitors; or refusing to promote or stock Costa's produce or significantly reducing orders for Costa's produce. Supermarket chains may also lower prices in Costa's fresh produce categories as part of competition between supermarket chains and other retailers for consumers and their shopping basket. This may impact Costa's market shares, sales volumes and/or profit margins by increasing price pressure applied to Costa's produce offerings or as a result of some consumers switching from Costa's produce offerings to lower priced alternative produce when that produce is available.

TO THE NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES RESCUE Perino Vitor. AUSTRALIA'S BEST itor AUSTRALIA'S BEST 44#45Key risks (continued) Portfolio of categories In its Produce division, Costa operates in five major categories including tomato, avocado, berries, citrus and mushroom. Costa also has an International division and Costa Farms & Logistics ("CF&L"). Costa's business model provides earnings diversification however there is no certainty that diversification will insulate Costa's overall operating and financial returns in a given year. Joint venture and partnership agreements Costa has entered into a number of joint venture and partnership agreements. If any of these joint venture or partnership relationships break down, and/or the joint venture or partnership agreements are terminated or amended in a manner unfavourable to Costa, this may impact Costa's ability to grow any proprietary and branded varieties that are licensed through these agreements and impact the dividends and/or royalties received by Costa as a result of its participation in the joint venture or partnership agreements. The continued success of these joint ventures and partnerships depends, in part, on Costa's ability to continue to have a harmonious relationship with its partnership and joint venture partners. While the joint venture and partnership agreements contain typical provisions which require approval from a partnership or joint venture partner for key decisions, they also provide each partnership or joint venture partner with a significant amount of discretion in relation to activities undertaken by each party as part of the joint venture or partnership. Accordingly, a partnership or joint venture partner's conduct can have a significant impact on the success of the joint venture or partnership and, in turn, could have a material impact on Costa's results and cash flow. Intellectual Property Costa relies on a combination of plant breeder's rights (or equivalent), trade marks and non-disclosure agreements and other methods to protect its intellectual property rights. Additionally, Costa has in place a number of licensing agreements for intellectual property owned by third parties used by Costa and intellectual property owned by Costa and licensed to third parties. The failure to obtain or maintain Costa's intellectual property rights or to defend against claims of infringement of intellectual property rights may diminish Costa's competitiveness and materially harm Costa's business. A number of Costa's products are grown from proprietary plant varieties. It is possible for problems to arise with the varietal genetics in which case it may take considerable time to be able to source available substitutes. If Costa's processes are insufficient to identify these genetic issues at an early stage, the impacts will be heightened and longer lasting. Urban and residential encroachment A number of Costa's farming operations such as Costa's mushroom facilities in Mernda, Victoria and Casuarina, Western Australia, are located on the outskirts of urban areas which are expanding. As these urban areas expand, there is a high likelihood that residential or commercial premises will be built in closer proximity to some of Costa's growing and packing facilities. Where residential or commercial premises are built close to Costa's facilities, there is an increased risk of complaints made by neighbours in relation to odour and noise generated from Costa's facilities. Complaints could result in residents lobbying for changes to local council zoning laws and/or legal action from neighbours, community interest groups or local councils seeking compensation from Costa and/or court orders that impact the manner in which Costa conducts its business. Changes to zoning laws or specific court orders may impact the way that Costa operates its business and/or increase Costa's costs. These factors, together with any court orders for compensation, could have a material impact on Costa's operations, financial performance and prospects. Leased Property Costa leases a significant amount of the land that Costa uses to grow and distribute its produce. Costa's leases have a range of terms and option periods, although they are generally long term leases which Costa or the property owner cannot terminate prior to expiry of the applicable term in the absence of default. However, some of these leases have termination provisions which are triggered not only by a default under that lease, but the default of Costa under one of the other leases (also known as "cross-default" clause), with the consequence that one default could have a significant effect beyond just the relevant property to which the default relates. Any material default under a lease by Costa, or failure to renew an existing lease on acceptable terms or an inability to negotiate alternative arrangements, could materially adversely impact the operations and financial performance and prospects of Costa. In addition, there is a risk that Costa may become subject to lease terms which are relatively unfavourable due to unanticipated changes in the property market.

TO THE NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES RESCUE Perino Vitor itor 45 AUSTRALIA'S BEST AUSTRALIA'S BEST 45#46Key risks (continued) > Costa uses a number of its leased distribution centres to provide distribution services to third parties as part of its CF&L business division. In some cases, the length of Costa's distribution services contracts are shorter than the length of Costa's leases of the distribution centres. Costa's leases for its distribution centres are typically long term leases. If a distribution services contract is renewed on less favourable terms, or is terminated or cannot be renewed by Costa on expiry, and Costa is unable to find an alternative use for the distribution centre in a timely manner (for example subleasing unused space in the distribution centre on favourable terms), this could have a material adverse impact on the financial results and performance of Costa. Disease and insect infestation As a fresh produce grower, Costa, like the horticultural industry as a whole, is susceptible to disease risk, including insect infestation. If one or more of the sites at which Costa grows or stores its produce becomes exposed to disease, or insect infestation, or if a disease or insect infestation emerges that affects a particular produce category, Costa may lose its investment in such produce and the revenue stream generated by such investment. This loss could have a material impact on the operations and financial performance and prospects of Costa. For example, in late CY20 and 1H21, fruit flies were found in South Australia's Riverland region and exclusion zones were implemented by the authorities, resulting in significant additional costs for Costa's citrus operations throughout CY21. Although the government expended significant resources to minimise the risk of additional fruit flies in the Riverland region, Costa's citrus operations may be impacted by further fruit fly outbreaks. Community Costa operates in many regional communities and a failure to successfully integrate with those communities and foster a mutually beneficial relationship could impact on its operations. Cybersecurity Costa's business relies on IT infrastructure, systems and processes to support the operation and growth of the business. Should such infrastructure, systems and processes fail or become compromised then there is a risk that the efficiencies, synergies and data that give the business a competitive advantage will be reduced or lost. Cybersecurity breaches may have an adverse impact on Costa's financial performance. Potential risk of litigation and disputes Costa may, from time to time, be involved in legal proceedings arising from the conduct of its businesses, including from customers, past and present employees, regulators, competitors, suppliers or neighbouring properties, for example, in relation to property damage or contamination, personal injury, potential class actions (both securities class actions and consumer class actions) and environmental matters. The loss arising from such litigation may not be covered by insurance or the aggregate potential liability in respect of possible legal proceedings may exceed any insurance coverage. Any material legal proceedings could have a material adverse impact on Costa's financial performance and position. Even if Costa was to ultimately prevail in the litigation, it could divert management's attention and resources from Costa's operations and business, and Costa could also suffer significant reputational damage which could have an adverse effect on Costa's business. Brand and reputation Costa's produce is sold under a number of brands which are owned or licensed by Costa or joint ventures to which Costa is a party. Those brands and their image, as well as Costa's reputation as a grower, are key assets of Costa. The reputation and value associated with Costa's brands could be impacted by a number of factors, including quality issues associated with Costa's produce (or the market categories of produce in which Costa's brands are prominent), produce recall, produce contamination or other public health issues, disputes or litigation with third parties such as partnership or joint venture partners, distributors, employees or third party growers, or adverse media coverage, whether as a result of Costa's conduct or by the conduct of third parties (including partnership or joint venture parties). Should Costa's brands or their image be damaged in any way or lose their market appeal (or in the case of licensed brands, a licence terminated), this may have a material adverse impact on the financial performance, reputation or prospects of Costa.

TO THE NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES RESCUE Perino Vitor itor AUSTRALIA'S BEST AUSTRALIA'S BEST 46 40#47Key risks (continued) Regulatory risks > Costa is required to comply with a range of laws and regulations. Regulatory areas which are of particular significance to Costa include food standards, labelling and packaging, ethical sourcing, fair trading and consumer protection, employment, property and the environment (including water), quarantine, customs and tariffs, foreign investment, taxation and climate change. The introduction of any new laws or changes to existing laws, codes (or government policies), such as changes to food standards, food labelling or climate change regulations and increasing ethical sourcing requirements, could result in increased costs being incurred by Costa and therefore have a material adverse impact on the financial performance and prospects of Costa. In particular: • • In many fresh produce categories in which Costa operates, its produce is protected from significant competition from imported produce by quarantine requirements. Any changes to these import restrictions could have an adverse impact on margins and volumes. Changes in relevant taxes, including any change in tax arrangements between Australia and other jurisdictions relevant to Costa's businesses, could have an adverse impact on the financial performance of Costa, for example, if GST was widened to include fresh produce. Costa has been granted environment protection licences in respect of composting from the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) in several States. These licences are subject to periodic review, including, on occasion, changes to the term of the licences. If Costa was unable to renew its licences, or the relevant EPA imposed onerous conditions in respect of its licences, this would impact Costa's ability to operate and/or costs associated with operating Costa's mushroom farms, which could have a material impact on the financial performance of Costa. Costa must comply with the Australia and New Zealand Food Standards Code (Code), as applied by regulators in each state and territory of Australia. If Costa failed to comply with the Code in its current form or the Code was amended in a manner that resulted in Costa needing to incur substantial cost in order to comply with the changes, then this could have a material impact on Costa's reputation and/or the financial performance of Costa. Produce safety Any contamination, spoilage, or the presence of foreign objects or substances in Costa's products may injure Costa's customers. The risk of injury can result from activities throughout the life cycle of Costa's products, including growing, harvesting, packaging, processing or sale phases. Costa may have limited ability to mitigate these risks, for example where title to produce has passed to a retailer or where the risk arises from product tampering. Costa has from time to time, issued recalls. The risk of injury from Costa's products exposes Costa to loss of product, damage to relationships with wholesalers and retailers, liability (including monetary judgements, fines, injunctions, and criminal sanctions) and publicity risks. Adverse publicity may arise from rumours or unsubstantiated claims of customer injury. Further, even if a product liability claim is unsuccessful or is not fully pursued, the negative publicity surrounding any assertion that Costa's product has caused injury could adversely affect Costa's reputation and brands. In addition, Costa's financial performance and prospects may be adversely impacted by negative publicity related to the products of other producers. While Costa maintains insurance cover for some of these risks, it may not be able to recover fully under those policies in all circumstances, and any amounts that it does recover may not be sufficient to offset any damage to the financial performance, reputation or prospects of Costa caused by any produce contamination, recall or produce liability claim or the negative publicity surrounding such event or claim. Increased competition While Costa's operations currently benefit from scale and access to superior genetics, this competitive landscape may change over time. If one or more competitors or new market entrants obtained access to favourable genetic varieties which compete in the same categories as those of Costa, or if they achieve greater scale, this could have a material adverse impact on the financial performance and prospects of Costa. This risk is also relevant in relation to the international markets in which Costa operates, where existing or new players at either a global or regional level could gain market share to Costa's detriment. Changes in market trends Costa's success depends, in part, on its ability to respond to current market trends, which can be impacted by a variety of factors, including changing tastes and dietary habits of consumers, entry of new market participants and changes in the purchasing patterns of Costa's customers. Responding to new market trends can require significant investment. If Costa fails to anticipate, identify, or react to changes in market trends on a timely basis, Costa could experience reduced demand and/or profit margins for Costa's products, which could in turn cause Costa's operating results to suffer. Loss of key personnel Costa's performance is dependent to a large extent on the efforts and abilities of the Chief Executive Officer and other members of the senior management team. The loss of the Chief Executive Officer or one or more other members of Costa's senior management team may have a material adverse impact on the operating and financial performance of Costa. Costa's financial success is also dependent upon its ability to hire additional key personnel as necessary to meet its management, administration and other needs. While every effort is made to retain key employees and to recruit new personnel as the need arises, the loss of a number of key personnel or inability to attract additional personnel may have an adverse impact on the operating and financial performance of Costa.

TO THE Perino Vitor AUSTRALIA'S BEST AUSTRALIA'S BEST 47 NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION OR RELEASE IN THE UNITED STATES RESCUE itor.#48Key risks (continued) >> Distribution As Costa supplies a very wide geographic area, its distribution costs are significant. Any rise in the price inputs related to Costa's distribution of its products, such as of oil, packaging materials, raw production costs or transport costs and changes in the rates in the charter vessel market (with respect to the export of citrus product), could lead to higher distribution costs. If such costs cannot be passed on to Costa's customers through increased prices, they could have a material adverse impact on the operating and financial performance of Costa. Changes to importation trade barriers Costa currently exports approximately 70% of its existing citrus crop packed, to various countries including Japan, the United States and South Korea. In addition, foreign markets, and in particular China, are a key revenue stream for the Business. Changes to trade tariffs or duties or the subsidisation of local producers or other exporters by a foreign government or the introduction of other import barriers, could make Costa's products less competitive in those markets, which could have a material adverse impact on the financial performance and prospects of Costa. Foreign exchange risk Costa is exposed to foreign exchange risk from a number of sources, namely from the export of produce to various countries including Japan and the United States, and through the earnings it generates from its international operations, including the Morocco and China joint ventures. Unfavourable movements in the foreign exchange rates between the Australian dollar and other currencies such as the US dollar, Japanese yen, Moroccan dirham and Chinese Yuan can have a material adverse impact on the overall financial performance of Costa. Risks associated with foreign operations Costa has significant interests in the African Blue JV in Morocco and its joint venture with Driscoll's Inc in China. Costa's operations may be adversely affected by the risks associated with operation in such jurisdictions, which may impact on its ability to grow the business by expansion into other overseas markets. As with its domestic operations, Costa has instituted certain internal controls to regulate the operations of its activities outside Australia, and constantly reviews and monitors these controls for effectiveness. Failure to adequately and consistently monitor these internal controls may have an adverse impact on Costa's financial performance. Jurisdictions in which Costa operates may in the future experience sudden civil unrest or major change to their government or political or legal systems and the nature of the legal and regulatory systems in those jurisdictions can result in a lack of certainty regarding the interpretation and enforcement of local laws and regulations. The Coronavirus pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and will likely continue to cause, severe impact on global, regional and national economies and disruption to international trade and business activity. While economic conditions have stabilised in 2021, the COVID-19 pandemic caused increased unemployment and the levels of equity and other financial markets to decline sharply and to become volatile, and such effects may continue or worsen in the future. This may in turn disrupt distribution channels and reduce the level of consumer activity in the markets in which Costa operates, which may have a negative impact on its ability to generate revenues or profits. Governments and central banks around the world have reacted to the economic crisis caused by the pandemic by implementing stimulus and liquidity programs and cutting interest rates, however it is unclear whether these actions or any future actions taken by governments and central banks will be successful in mitigating the economic disruption. Additionally, any such fiscal and monetary actions are subject to withdrawal by the relevant governments or central banks, or may lapse without renewal. If the COVID-19 pandemic is prolonged and/or actions of governments and central banks are unsuccessful in mitigating the economic disruption, the negative impact on global growth and global financial markets could be amplified, and may lead to recessions in national, regional or global economies. The impact of COVID-19 has and may lead to labour shortages and other disruptions to Costa's ability to attract and retain employees and the seasonal workforce it relies upon to process its harvest. If conditions deteriorate or remain uncertain for a prolonged period this may adversely affect Costa's ability to operate and grow its business, and its results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected. There is also a risk of increasing costs to maintain operational performance, for example freight charges, safety procedures, regulatory compliance, and input cost inflation.

There can be no assurance that Costa will be able to obtain additional financing on terms acceptable to it, if at all. Debt financing involves increased fixed payment obligations and may involve arrangements including financial covenants that limit or restrict Costa's ability to take specific actions such as incurring debt, making capital expenditures or declaring dividends. Costa's failure to obtain sufficient funds on acceptable terms, or comply with the terms of those funding facilities, could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition. Liabilities under anti-corruption laws Costa operates in an international environment including with joint venture partners in Morocco and China (as described above). Furthermore, some of Costa's and Costa's joint venture partners' activities take place in parts of the world that have a risk of corruption to varying degrees, and Costa's operations and joint ventures in those jurisdictions are subject to various anti-corruption laws, including Australian and other foreign anti-corruption laws. While Costa has an Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption policy, violations of such laws, including by its joint venture partners or joint venture personnel, can lead to criminal and civil penalties or sanctions under anti-corruption laws in relevant jurisdictions, which, in turn, could adversely affect Costa's reputation or financial position. Industrial instruments, disputes and wage increases Costa uses multiple employment models to meet the needs of growing and harvesting a product that is perishable. This includes using labour hire firms to meet production peaks including harvest periods. Costa has less direct control over employment arrangements for persons employed by labour hire firms than it does over its direct employees and the manner in which such third party labour hire companies provide contracted services. Should the third party labour vendors violate any relevant laws, regulations and industrial instruments in the employment or compensation of workers, or should there be any mistreatment of workers by the third party labour vendors, Costa's reputation may be adversely affected or damaged. In addition, the majority of Costa's employees are covered by enterprise bargaining agreements and other workplace agreements, which periodically require renegotiation and renewal. Disputes may arise in the course of renegotiations which have the potential to lead to strikes and other industrial action, which may disrupt Costa's operations. Any renegotiations could also result in increased labour costs. Work Health and Safety Given the nature of the industry in which Costa operates, Costa's employees are at risk of workplace accidents and incidents. In addition to the potential for harm to any employee, the occurrence of workplace accidents has the potential to harm both the reputation and financial performance of Costa. Expansion project construction Costa's current and future expansion projects depend, in part, on the development and construction of farming sites. Any significant delay in the development and construction of farming sites may place Costa at risk of not meeting its forecasts. A reduction in Costa's yield and/or production volumes in one or more produce categories may have an adverse impact on the financial performance and prospects of Costa. Costa may not be able to execute its growth strategy as planned Costa has developed a growth strategy that includes expansion projects in Australia and through expansion of the farming footprints for the Morocco and China joint ventures. There is a risk that Costa may not be able to effectively execute its growth strategy and may encounter delays in construction or execution, or operational difficulties, which may lead to increased costs and/or strain management resources or have a negative impact on Costa's brand and reputation. As a result, Costa's growth strategies may generate lower than, or later than, expected revenue or incur unforeseen costs.

Tax changes Any change to the taxation of shares (including the taxation of dividends) and the taxation of companies (including the existing rate of company income tax) may adversely impact on Costa shareholder returns, as may a change to the tax payable by Costa shareholders in general. Any other changes to Australian tax law and practice that impact Costa, or the agriculture industry generally, could also have an adverse effect on Costa shareholder returns. General economic risks The operating and financial performance of Costa is influenced by a variety of general economic and business conditions, including inflation, interest rates and exchange rates, supply and demand, industrial disruption, access to debt and capital markets and government fiscal, monetary and regulatory policies.

If the underwriting agreement is terminated, Costa would not receive the offer price in respect of any entitlements that are not taken up under the Offer and the total amount raised by Costa under the Offer would be less than Costa intends to raise. In these circumstances, Costa would nevertheless continue to be bound by the agreements with the Seller in relation to the Acquisition. Costa would need to seek alternative sources of funding to complete the Acquisition, which may result in Costa incurring additional costs (for example, by way of interest payments on debt) and/or potential restrictions being imposed on the manner in which Costa conducts its business and deals with its assets. There is no guarantee that alternative funding could be sourced on satisfactory terms and conditions or at all. Failure to source alternative funding could result in Costa being unable to perform its obligations to complete the Acquisition or being unable to implement the proposed integration of the Business. Any of these outcomes could have a material adverse impact on Costa's financial position, prospects, and reputation. Renouncement risk If you are an eligible shareholder, and you do not take up or sell your entitlements under the Offer, then your entitlements will be treated as renounced and will be sold on your behalf in the institutional or retail bookbuild (as applicable) and any proceeds of sale of your entitlements will be paid to you. However, there is no guarantee that any value will be received for your renounced entitlement through the bookbuild process. The ability to sell entitlements under the bookbuild and the ability to obtain any premium will be dependent upon various factors, including market conditions. Further, the bookbuild price may not be the highest price available, but will be determined having regard to a number of factors, including having binding and bona fide offers which, in the reasonable opinion of the underwriter, will, if accepted, result in acceptable allocations to clear the entire book. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Costa, the underwriter and its respective related bodies corporate, affiliates or the directors, officers, employees or advisors of it, will not be liable, including for negligence, for any failure to procure applications under the book build at a price in excess of the offer price. If there is a premium achieved on the retail bookbuild, it may be less than, more than, or equal to any premium achieved on the institutional bookbuild. Accordingly, it is possible that retail holders who do not take up their entitlements will receive less value than their institutional counterparts, or no value at all. You should also note that if you do not take up all of your entitlement, then your percentage security holding in Costa will be diluted by not participating to the full extent in the Offer. Reconciliation risk for institutional shareholders Eligible institutional shareholders who participate in the institutional entitlement Offer or whose rights are renounced and therefore sold in the institutional shortfall bookbuild will do so based on a reference shareholding at the relevant time of the accelerated component of the Offer. That reference shareholding will be derived from all register and other data available to Costa and its share registry analytics firm. Similarly, ineligible institutional shareholders whose entitlement equivalent is accelerated and renounced in the institutional bookbuild will be calculated on the basis of a reference shareholding similarly derived. To the extent that a shareholder's declared shareholding differs from the share registry analytics firm's estimate of that shareholder's shareholding, an estimate or assumption may be made for the purposes of determining the reference shareholding. Any shareholding as at the record date in excess of the assumed holding may be included as part of the retail entitlement Offer. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Costa, the underwriter and their respective related bodies corporate, affiliates, directors, officers, employees or advisors will not be liable, including for negligence, for any failure to reconcile shareholdings in this or any related context. Risk of selling or transferring entitlements If you are an eligible retail security holder and do not wish to take up your entitlements, you can sell them on the ASX or transfer them to another person or entity other than on the ASX during the entitlement trading period. Prices obtainable for retail entitlements may rise and fall over the entitlement trading period and liquidity may vary. If you sell or transfer your entitlements at one stage in the retail entitlement trading period you may receive a higher or lower price than a security holder who sells or transfers their entitlements at a different stage in the retail entitlement trading period or through the retail shortfall bookbuild.

Section 138 of the Securities Act (Ontario) provides that no action shall be commenced to enforce these rights more than: (a) (b) in the case of any action for rescission, 180 days after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action; or in the case of any action, other than an action for rescission, the earlier of (i) 180 days after the purchaser first had knowledge of the fact giving rise to the cause of action or (ii) three years after the date of the transaction that gave rise to the cause of action.
