Ordinary Resolution 5: Increase in the Fee Pool of Directors’ Fees
This resolution seeks shareholder approval to increase the maximum aggregate amount of remuneration (“fee
pool”) that may be paid each year to the Directors of Summerset for their services as Directors by $50,000 per
annum, from $600,000 to $650,000. Shareholder approval is required under NZX Listing Rule 3.5.1.
The existing fee pool of $600,000 has been in place since April 2014 and contemplated six Directors. With
the recent appointment of Dr Andrew Wong as Summerset’s sixth Director, $595,000 of this fee pool is now
being utilised on an annualised basis. The increase in the fee pool is necessary to allow for additional fees for
the Chairs of Committees, should any additional Committees of the Board be established in the future, and to
allow for additional fees for specific project work from time to time.
No changes are proposed to the standard current annual Directors’ fees which have been in place since April
2014, and are as follows:
Chairman $165,000 (including all Committee responsibilities)
Non-executive Directors $80,000
Additional fee for the Chair of the Audit Committee $15,000
Additional fee for the Chair of all other Committees $7,500
Summerset will disregard any votes on Ordinary Resolution 5 by:
1. Any Director of Summerset;
2. Any Associated Person of any Director of Summerset.
Except where any such vote is cast by the Director or one of his or her associates as proxy for a person who
is entitled to vote and the Director or that associate votes in accordance with express instructions to vote for
or against a particular resolution on the proxy form.
