Biography
Carol Campbell is a chartered accountant and a member of Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand. Carol
has extensive financial experience and a sound understanding of efficient board governance. Carol holds a number of
directorships across a broad spectrum of companies, including T&G Global, Kiwibank, New Zealand Post and NZME where
she is also Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee. Carol is also a director of Barramundi and Marlin Global. Carol was a
director of The Business Advisory Group, a chartered accountancy practice, for 11 years and prior to that a partner at Ernst
& Young for over 25 years. Carol’s principal place of residence is Auckland.
The board of the company considers that Carol Campbell is an independent director for the purposes of the NZX Main
Board Listing Rules. The board unanimously supports the re-election of Carol Campbell.
EXPLANATORY NOTE FOR RESOLUTION 2 – DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION
Since Kingfish first listed in 2004, the Kingfish directors’ fee pool has typically only been used to remunerate three directors
for their services to the company.
The directors have determined that the current directors’ fee pool be allocated as follows:
Role Remuneration
Chair $50,000
Director$32,500
Chair of Audit and Risk Committee$5,000
Chair of Investment Committee $5,000
Carmel Fisher has not received director fees for her directorship of Kingfish due to her executive role as Managing Director of
Fisher Funds. In May 2017, Carmel Fisher retired from her role as Managing Director of Fisher Funds and as such no longer
receives executive remuneration from Fisher Funds.
Carmel Fisher wishes to continue to remain a director of Kingfish. The board believes it is appropriate that Carmel Fisher
is remunerated for her services to Kingfish and accordingly proposes that the directors fee pool be increased by $32,500
(being the amount currently allocated to a director under the existing directors’ fee pool) so that the directors’ fee pool is
sufficiently adequate to pay four directors fees.
The proposal to increase the directors’ fee pool by $32,500 will result in the total amount of the directors’ fee pool being
increased from $125,000 to $157,500 (plus GST if any) per annum effective 1 July 2018.
NZX Main Board Listing Rule 3.5.1 requires that the proposed increase in directors’ remuneration be authorised by an
ordinary resolution of shareholders.
The company will, as required by the NZX Main Board Listing Rules, disregard any votes cast on this resolution by a director,
and any associated person of that director, if that director is intended to receive a payment from the remuneration pool.
EXPLANATORY NOTE FOR RESOLUTION 3 – AUDITOR REMUNERATION
PricewaterhouseCoopers is automatically re-appointed as auditor under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. This
resolution authorises the board of directors to fix the fees and expenses of the auditor.
