Resolution 1
Re-election of Allen Bollard

In accordance with NZX Main

Board Listing Rule 3.3.11, one

third of directors (or the

nearest number to one

third) must retire at each

annual meeting but shall

be eligible for re-election

at that meeting. With

four directors this requires

that one director retire. As

Bruce Cotterill, Paul Duffy

and Allen Bollard were each

elected to the Board on the

same day (21 April 2017), the Company’s constitution

provides that the director to retire will be as

determined by lot, unless the Board resolves otherwise.

The Board has resolved that Allen Bollard will retire at

the 2018 annual meeting.

Accordingly, Allen Bollard retires by rotation at the

Annual Meeting and offers himself for re-election as

a Director. The approval of an ordinary resolution of

the holders of the ordinary shares in the Company is

required for Resolution 1 (i.e. a simple majority of votes

cast at the meeting by shareholders entitled to vote

and voting).

A brief biography of Allen Bollard follows:

Allen Bollard has a depth of experience in accounting

and financial management, New Zealand taxation

(particularly property activity), New Zealand

capital markets (particularly bank debt), treasury

management, economic trend analysis, risk/reward

asset analysis, acquisition and divestment strategy,

leasing strategy and administration, property

development risk, and organisational governance.

Starting as a partner of a major accounting firm,

Mr Bollard was then CFO for three listed property

companies and for 10 years was CEO/CFO of Tramco

Group Limited, a private entity which managed

and financed several large privately held leasehold

land-owning partnerships including Viaduct Harbour

Holdings, Tram Lease, Quay Lease, Kiwi Forests,

Wairakei Pastoral and Calland Properties Ltd.

Mr Bollard is also an independent business and finance

consultant, Independent Director of Tamaki Makaurau

Community Housing Limited, and chairman of the

trustees of Odyssey House Trust (a government funded

drug and alcohol rehabilitation organisation) as well as

other private trusts.

In accordance with the Listing Rules, the Board has

determined that Mr Bollard is an Independent Director.

No nominations for persons for appointment to the Board

were received by the Company by 17 June 2018 being

the closing date for such nominations as advised to the

market and consequently no other person is eligible to be

elected as a director at the Annual Meeting.

Resolution 2

Remuneration of Auditor

Grant Thornton is automatically re-appointed as the

auditor of the Company under Section 207(T) of the

Companies Act 1993. Section 207(S) 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. Resolution

2 authorises the Board, consistent with commercial

practice, to fix the fees and expenses of the auditors for

the ensuing year. The approval of an ordinary resolution

of the holders of the ordinary shares in the Company is

required for Resolution 2 (i.e. a simple majority of votes

cast at the meeting by shareholders entitled to vote

and voting).
