RESOLUTION 1: APPOINTMENT OF AUDITORS AND AUDITORS’ REMUNERATION

KPMG is the auditor of Gentrack Group Limited and has indicated its willingness to continue in office. The Companies Act 1993 provides that a company’s auditor is automatically reappointed unless the shareholders resolve to appoint a replacement auditor or there is some other reason for the auditor not to be reappointed.

Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 further provides that the auditors’ fees and expenses must be fixed by the company or in the manner that the company determines at a shareholders’ meeting. In this case, shareholders are being asked to resolve that the directors are authorised to fix the auditors’ remuneration.

RESOLUTIONS 2, 3 AND 4: DIRECTOR ELECTIONS AND RE-ELECTION

Graham Shaw and Andy Coupe were appointed by the Board as non-executive directors in March and April 2014 respectively, prior to the IPO. As they were appointed by the Board, it is a requirement that their appointment be considered by shareholders at the Annual Meeting.

Leigh Warren was appointed by the Board in May 2012 as a non-executive director. He retires by rotation and offers himself for re-election again this year.

The Board unanimously supports the elections of Graham Shaw and Andy Coupe and the re-election of Leigh Warren.
