Explanatory Notes
RESOLUTION 1: RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR
Creamery Limited, and is also a Director of HT&E (listed on the ASX). Peter was previously on the Board of WPP AUNZ Limited and SKYCITY Entertainment Group.
NZME’s constitution and the NZX Main Board Listing Rules require at least one third of the Directors (or the number nearest to one third) to retire by rotation at the annual meeting each year. Those Directors are, however, eligible for re-election at that meeting.

PETER CULLINANE
Independent Director
----- End of picture text -----
The Director who has been longest in office since his or her last election is ordinarily required to retire by rotation. As all of the Directors were elected on the same day and therefore have been in office for the same period of time, the Board has resolved that Peter Cullinane will retire by rotation. Peter Cullinane is standing for re-election with the full support of the Board.
RESOLUTION 2: AUDITOR’S REMUNERATION
The current auditor of NZME, PricewaterhouseCoopers, will automatically continue in office by virtue of section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. Under section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 auditor’s fees and expenses must be fixed in the manner determined at the annual meeting. Shareholder approval is therefore sought for the Board to fix PricewaterhouseCoopers’ remuneration for the following year.
As the former Chief Operating Officer of Saatchi & Saatchi (Worldwide), and its Chief Executive Officer (New Zealand) and Chairman (Australasia) for over eight years prior, Peter is widely respected in global advertising and marketing, and has extensive knowledge and expertise in both Australasian and global markets. Peter is the founder and Chairman of Lewis Road
