Voting Entitlement
The persons who will be entitled to vote on the resolutions at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting are those persons who will be the shareholders of PaySauce at 5.00pm on Wednesday 22 September 2021.
The Chair will require voting at the Annual Meeting to be conducted by poll, of the Company’s shareholders entitled to vote and voting, as required by the NZX Listing Rules.
Proxies
A shareholder who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting may appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of the shareholder. A proxy need not be a shareholder.
If you appoint a proxy you may either direct your proxy how to vote for you or you may give the proxy discretion to vote as they see fit. If you wish to give your proxy discretion then you should make the appropriate election on the Proxy Form to grant your proxy that discretion. You will be deemed to have given your proxy discretion if you do not make an election in relation to any of resolutions A or B.
The Chair of the Meeting or any other Director is willing to act as proxy for any shareholder who appoints him or her for that purpose. If, in appointing your proxy, you do not name a person as your proxy in the Proxy Form, or if your named proxy does not attend the annual meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy and may vote only in accordance with your express direction.
However, if your proxy is precluded from voting (for example, because they have an interest in the outcome of the resolution), then the proxy will not be able to vote on that resolution on your behalf. If you do not tick any boxes or your direction on how the proxy is to vote is unclear (in the proxy’s sole opinion) in respect of a resolution, then the direction is to abstain.
Where the Chair of the Meeting or any other director is appointed as a discretionary proxy, the Chair of the Meeting and all other Directors intend to vote in favour of all resolutions.
