Resolution 2: Election of Director – Ms Helen Foley
Mr James Johnstone tendered his resignation as a director of the Company effective 1 May 2025. The Board sincerely thanks Mr Johnstone for his contributions to the Company since December 2022.
Clause 20.4 of the Company’s Constitution provides that the Board may at any time appoint additional Directors to fill a casual vacancy, but such an appointed Director must not hold office (without re-election) past the next annual general meeting of the Company.
Pursuant to Clause 20.4 of the Company's Constitution and to fill the vacancy arising from the outgoing Director role, Ms. Helen Foley, was appointed Non-Executive Director on May 1, 2025. In accordance with clauses 20.4 and 21.4 of the Company’s Constitution, Ms. Foley is retiring and submitting her candidacy for election as a Director of the Company.

10934388v1
Resolution 3: Re-Election of Director – Mr Steven Bayliss
In accordance with Clause 21.2 of the Company’s Constitution, whilst the Company is admitted to the Official List of ASX, at least one Director must retire from office at each annual meeting of Shareholders unless there has been an election of Directors earlier that year. Unless required to retire pursuant to Clause 21.1 of the Company’s Constitution, the Director to retire will be the Director who has been longest in office since that Director’s last election.
Clause 21.1 of the Company’s Constitution states that a Director must not hold office without re-election past the third annual meeting of Shareholders after that Director’s last appointment or re-election or for more than three years, whichever is longer. A Managing Director of the Company (appointed under Clause 23 of the Company’s Constitution) is exempt from these requirements.
Mr Steven Bayliss was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of Straker Limited on 24 August 2022 by the Shareholders at the Company’s 2022 annual meeting.
In accordance with Clause 21.2 of the Constitution, Mr Bayliss is retiring and submitting himself for re-election as a Director of the Company.
Mr Steven Bayliss is one of New Zealand’s most experienced and awarded marketing professionals. Steven’s career started with international brewer Lion Nathan which culminated in an Australian based role developing and teaching marketing best practice across New Zealand, Australia, and China.
After a period based in the USA in the FMCG sector, Steven returned to New Zealand to take up the role of GM Marketing and Innovation at Air New Zealand in 2004.
Steven then moved to Foodstuffs New Zealand in 2011, setting up a central function serving the two cooperatives across marketing, public relations, customer experience, CRM, Advanced Data and Analytics, and Acquiring functions. Steven also served as Chief Creative Officer at Sky Television, helping reinvent the business, moving from a linear broadcaster to a data-rich, modern digital business.
Steven is a published business author, professional director, and consultant. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce from Otago University.
Having regard to the ASX Corporate Governance Principles, the Board considers Mr Bayliss to be an independent NonExecutive Director.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board, with Mr Bayliss abstaining, unanimously supports Mr Steven Bayliss’ election as a Non-Executive Director of the Company and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.
Resolutions 4-5: Issue of Options to Director and Related Party
The Company is proposing to issue 200,500 Options to Grant Straker and 127,100 Options to Merryn Straker under the 2020 LTI ESOP (the Options Issues ).
The proposed allocation of Options to Grant and Merryn Straker forms part of their performance-based remuneration for the financial year ended 31 March 2025 and has been calculated in a manner that is consistent with the formula used to calculate option allocations for other members of the Company’s senior leadership team.
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of its shareholders:
6
10934388v1
10.14.1 a director of the company;
10.14.2 an associate of a director of the company; or
10.14.3 a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders.
The Options Issue to Grant Straker falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 (as Grant is a Director) and the Options Issue to Merryn Straker falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.2 (as Merryn Straker is an associate of Grant Straker) and therefore requires the approval of the Company’s Shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
Resolutions 4 and 5 seeks the required Shareholder approval to the Options Issues under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
If each of Resolutions 4 and 5 are passed, the Company will be able to proceed with the Options Issues, and the Options (and any Shares issued upon their vesting) will not count towards the Company’s 15% placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
If each of Resolutions 4 and 5 are not passed, the Company will not be able to proceed with the Options Issues to which the relevant Resolution relates.
In that circumstance, issues may arise with the competitiveness of the total remuneration package of the relevant recipient of the Options Issue and alignment of rewards with other senior executives in the Company. The Board would then need to consider alternative remuneration arrangements which are consistent with the Company’s remuneration principles, including providing an equivalent cash long-term incentive subject to the risk of forfeiture, performance conditions and performance period.
Details of any securities issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP will be published in the Annual Report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in the 2020 LTI ESOP after Resolutions 4 and 5 are approved and who were not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
In accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following information is provided to Shareholders in respect of Resolutions 4 and 5.
For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15, information regarding the Options is as follows:
Material Terms Refer to Schedule A for the material terms of the 2020 LTI ESOP. Class of Securities Options that vest are exercisable into Shares in accordance with the terms of the 2020 LTI ESOP.
Issue Price: The Options will be issued for nil cash consideration. Issue Date: The Options will be issued on the day of the Annual Meeting if Shareholder approval is granted, and in any event no later than 3 years after the date of the Meeting.
Terms of any loans to acquire the securities: No loans are proposed to be advanced in relation to the proposed issue of the Options.

10934388v1
Schedule A Summary of 2020 LTI ESOP
The key terms of the 2020 LTI ESOP are as follows:
| Term | Description |
|---|---|
| Eligibility | Qualifying employees, senior executives and Directors of Straker may participate in the 2020 LTI ESOP, with eligibility and the number of Options to be issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP to be determined bythe Company’s Board of Directors. |
| Vesting conditions |
The 2020 LTI ESOP is governed by scheme rules that provide for the vesting of Options issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP to occur after a certain time period has lapsed from the time of issue of the Options issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP, or a specified performance hurdle is achieved by theparticipant. |
| Exercise | After the Options issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP have vested, participants may then choose to exercise a number of their 2020 LTI ESOP Options at any time within the specified exercise period (provided that the minimum number of Options that may be exercised at a time as stated on the certificate relating to the Options is met) by giving notice in writing to the Company and paying the relevant exercise price in respect of the 2020 LTI ESOP Options being exercised (unless the participant has elected to exercise the Options under the cashless exercise mechanism, see below). However, where certain “change of control” events occur (including where a person and that person’s associates hold or control more than 50% of the total voting rights in the Company, a transfer of all, or substantially all, of the Company’s assets, or a merger whereby the Company is not the surviving entity) all 2020 LTI ESOP Options will become fully exercisable and may be exercised on or before the date of the relevant event, after which time any unexercised 2020 LTI ESOP Options will lapse. |
| Exercise Price | The exercise price of the 2020 LTI ESOP Options will be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors but subject to the requirement under the ASX Listing Rules that the Exercise Price for the Shares must be at least AUD$0.20. At the time of exercise of the 2020 LTI ESOP Options, subject to Board approval at that time, the participant may elect not to be required to provide payment of the exercise price for the number of 2020 LTI ESOP Options specified in a notice of exercise, but that on exercise of those 2020 LTI ESOP Options the Company will issue to the participant that number of Shares equal in value to the positive difference between the “Market Value” of the Shares at the time of exercise and the exercise price that would otherwise be payable to exercise those 2020 LTI ESOP Options. “Market Value” means, at any given date, the volume weighted average price per Share traded on the ASX over the 20 business days immediately preceding the notice of exercise being delivered to the Company by the participant, unless otherwise determined by the Board (in its sole discretion). |
| Expiry | Options issued under the 2020 LTI ESOP will expire at the end of the exercise period which is a date fixed in the Option certificate issued to each particular participant, unless a “change of control”event occurs (asreferred to above). |
| Cessation of employment of holders of 2020 LTI ESOP Options |
Participants who cease their employment or directorship with the Company (for reasons other than death or total and permanent disability) are given the lesser of the expiry of: (a) 60 days following termination; (b) the exercise period; or (c) another period determined by the Board in its absolute discretion, to exercise any applicable 2020 LTI ESOP Options that have vested and are able to be exercised at that time. Participants who cease employment or directorship with the Company in circumstances constituting total and permanent disability then the Board in its absolute discretion may allow any 2020 LTI ESOP Options that are exercisable at the time to be exercised or “net settled" (i.e. cancelled with Shares issued representing any gain) within a period of up to 3 months from the date of death or determination of total permanent disability. Unvested 2020 LTI ESOP Options at the time of cessation of employment will be cancelled and be of no further effect. |
11
10934388v1
| Capital Restructure |
Any reconstruction of share capital of the Company (including any consolidation, re- capitalisation, subdivision, share buyback or cancellation) which affects the 2020 LTI ESOP Options will result in appropriate adjustments being made by the Directors of the Company in such a manner as they consider to be equitable (in accordance with the requirements of the Listing Rules and any applicable laws). Participants will have no other rights to a change in the exercise price of 2020 LTI ESOP Options or the number of Shares to be issued and allotted on the exercise of 2020 LTI ESOP Options under the terms of the 2020 LTI ESOP. |
