The Remuneration Report has been sent to Shareholders who have made an election to receive the Annual Report. Copies of the Annual Report are also available by contacting the Company’s share registry or by visiting the Company’s website.

In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is “advisory” only and does not bind the Company or the Directors. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the Company’s remuneration arrangements. However, Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board (except the managing director) if the Remuneration Report receives a ‘no’ vote of 25% or more ( Strike ) at two consecutive AGMs.

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive AGMs, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second AGM a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) on whether another meeting of Shareholders should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of the applicable Directors’ Report must stand for re-election.

The Company’s Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the 2021 AGM. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at the Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at the 2023 AGM, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

The Chair will allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders as a whole to ask about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution, requiring it to be passed by a simple majority of votes cast by the Shareholders present and eligible to vote (in person, by proxy, by attorney or, in the case of a corporate Shareholder, by a corporate representative).

3.2 Voting on the Remuneration Report

Please refer to the voting exclusion statement set out in the Notice for the persons who are not entitled to vote on Resolution 1.

If the Chair is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chair is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chair with an express authorisation to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chair’s intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of members of the Key Management Personnel (which includes the Chair).

The Chair intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

6.3 Board recommendation

The Directors, other than, if applicable, Mr Seton, who has an interest in the outcome of Resolution 4, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

7. RESOLUTION 5 – AMENDMENT TO CONSTITUTION

7.1 General

In the light of recent amendments to the Corporations Act that allow listed companies to hold shareholder meetings entirely by virtual means provided that the listed company’s constitution makes express provision for the holding of entirely virtual meetings and the fact that the Company now has considerable operations and assets and a large number of Shareholders in New Zealand, the Company wishes to amend its constitution to make express provision of the holding of entirely virtual Shareholder meetings (i.e. so that it can avail itself of the benefit of the above referred recent legislative change). Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, a company can modify its constitution by special resolution.

8

Accordingly, Shareholder approval is sought to the extent necessary to amend the Constitution by deleting the existing clause 12.23 which states as follows:

The Company may hold a general meeting at 2 or more venues using any technology that gives Members a reasonable opportunity to participate.

and replacing it with the following:

  • (a) Subject to the Corporations Act, the Listing Rules and any other applicable law:

  • (i) a general meeting of Members may be held at one or more venues using any technology that gives Members as a whole a reasonable opportunity to participate;

  • (ii) a general meeting of Members may be conducted as a hybrid (i.e. virtual and in-person) meeting held at one or more venues using any technology that gives Members as a whole a reasonable opportunity to participate; or

  • (iii) a general meeting of Members may be held by virtual means only using any technology that gives Members as a whole a reasonable opportunity to participate.

  • (b) If, before or during a general meeting of Members any technical difficulty occurs such that the Members as a whole do not have a reasonable opportunity to participate, the Chairperson of the meeting may, subject to the Corporations Act:

  • (i) adjourn the meeting until the technical difficulty is resolved; or

  • (ii) where a quorum remains present (either at the place at which the Chairperson of the meeting is present or by technology contemplated by clause 12.23(a)) and is able to participate, continue the meeting of Members (and in such circumstances, no Member may object to the meeting being held or continuing) .

The proposed amendment will ensure that the Company has the flexibility to conduct virtual meetings if needed. This Resolution is a special resolution and requires support for 75% of the votes cast.

7.2 Board recommendation

The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

8. FURTHER INFORMATION

The Directors are not aware of any other information which is relevant to the consideration by Shareholders of the Resolutions set out in the Notice.
