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).
