Explanatory Notes

These notes form part of the Notice of Annual Meeting



Ordinary Resolution 1: Appointment and remuneration of auditor


Section 207T of the Companies Act 1993 provides that a company’s auditor is automatically re-appointed

unless there is a resolution or other reason for the auditor not to be re-appointed. The Company wishes

Deloitte to continue as the Company’s auditor, and Deloitte has indicated its willingness to do so.


Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 provides that the fees and expenses of the auditor are to be fixed

in such a manner as the Company determines at the Annual Meeting. The Board proposes that, consistent

with past practice, the auditor’s fees be fixed by the Directors. The Board unanimously recommends that

shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.



Ordinary Resolutions 2 and 3: Re-election of Directors


The NZX Main Board Listing Rules require that at least one third of the Directors or, if their number is not a

multiple of three, then the number nearest to one third, shall retire from office at the Annual Meeting each

year, but shall be eligible for re-election at that meeting. The Directors to retire are those who have been

longest in office since their last election, with the exception of Andy Borland as an Executive Director

nominated by the Board (pursuant to clause 27.1(c) of the Constitution).


Two Directors are required to retire at this meeting. Tim Goodacre and Mark Hutton are the Directors who

have been longest in office and they will retire at the Annual Meeting. Both Tim and Mark, being eligible,

offer themselves for re-election and the Board unanimously supports their re-election.
