explanatory notes
resolution 1 – re-election of director
In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, a director must not hold
office (without re-election) past the third annual meeting following
the director’s appointment or three years, whichever is longer.
Mary Jane Daly was re-elected at the July 2016 annual meeting,
will retire at this annual meeting and offers herself for re-election in
accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1.
The Board has determined that Mary Jane Daly will be an independent
director for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules if re-elected.
The NZX Listing Rules define an independent director as a director
who is not an employee of the Company and who does not have a
Disqualifying Relationship. A Disqualifying Relationship is defined as
any direct or indirect interest, position, association or relationship that
could reasonably influence, or could reasonably be perceived to
influence, in a material way, the director’s capacity to:
1. bring an independent view to decisions in relation to the Company
2. act in the best interests of the Company, and
3. represent the interests of the Company’s Financial Product
holders generally,
having regard to the factors described in the NZX Corporate
Governance Code that may impact director independence, if applicable.
The factors that may impact director independence as described
in the NZX Corporate Governance Code are:
1. Being currently, or within the last three years, employed in an
executive role by the Company, or any of its subsidiaries, and there
has not been a period of at least three years between ceasing such
employment and serving on the Board.
2. Currently, or within the last 12 months, holding a senior role in a
provider of material professional services to the Company or any
of its subsidiaries.
MARK FORD
CHAIR
20 MAY 2019
3. A current, or within the last three years, material business
relationship (e.g. as a supplier or customer) with the Company
or any of its subsidiaries.
4. A substantial product holder of the Company or a senior manager
of, or person otherwise associated with, a substantial product
holder of the Company. A substantial product holder is a person
who has a relevant interest in quoted voting products that
comprise 5% or more of a class of quoted voting products
of the Company.
5. A current, or within the last three years, material contractual
relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than
as a director.
6. Having close family ties with anyone in the categories listed above.
7. Having been a director with the Company for a length of time that
may compromise independence.
The Board is committed to ensuring that it possesses the appropriate
mix of skills, knowledge, experience and diversity to discharge its
role and responsibilities. The Board supports the re-election of
Mary Jane Daly as it considers that she has the expertise to contribute
to the overall skill set required by the Board.
profile of Mary Jane Daly
Mary Jane is an Auckland-based professional director with a strong
background in banking and finance. Mary Jane is Deputy Chair of the
board of Airways Corporation of New Zealand Limited and the
Earthquake Commission and is a director of Cigna Life Insurance
New Zealand Limited, Auckland Transport and OnePath Life (NZ)
Limited. She has held senior executive positions in New Zealand at
IAG New Zealand, Fonterra, Bank of New Zealand, and at National
Australia Bank and Toronto-Dominion Bank in London.
resolution 2 – auditor’s remuneration
PricewaterhouseCoopers is automatically reappointed auditor of the
Company at the annual meeting pursuant to section 207(T)(1) of the
Companies Act 1993, unless the auditor gives notice that it does not
wish to be reappointed. PricewaterhouseCoopers has not given such
notice. The resolution sought is to authorise the directors to fix the
remuneration of the auditor pursuant to section 207(S)(a) of the
Companies Act 1993.
resolution 3 – constitution
The former NZX Listing Rules (dated 1 October 2017) have been
replaced by updated NZX Listing Rules (1 January 2019). The Company
opted into compliance with the updated NZX Listing Rules with effect
from 1 April 2019. A number of amendments are required to be made
to the existing Constitution to ensure it meets the requirements of,
and is consistent with, the NZX Listing Rules (as required by NZX
Listing Rule 2.18.1).
Unless expressly stated otherwise, references to clause numbers
below are references to clause numbers in the Constitution as
proposed to be amended.
The amendments to the existing Constitution that have been
proposed for the purposes of alignment with the NZX Listing Rules
can be summarised as follows:
• Voting at meetings of shareholders: clause 17.4 and clauses 21
to 23 have been amended to reflect that voting at shareholder
meetings must be by poll as required under NZX Listing Rule 6.1
(rather than on a show of hands).
• Director independence: clause 27.2 has been amended to reflect
the minimum number of independent directors as specified under
the NZX Listing Rules (being two independent directors), as
amended from time to time.
• Director rotation: clause 27.6 and clauses 27.8 to 27.10 relating to
director rotation have been amended to reflect the new director
rotation requirements within NZX Listing Rule 2.7.
• Director appointment: clause 27.11, relating to the appointment of
directors, has been updated to reflect NZX Listing Rule 2.3.3.
• Executive Directors: the term "Managing Director" has been
replaced with "Executive Director" in clause 29 to be consistent
with the definition within the NZX Listing Rules. The changes also
reflect that Executive Directors are no longer subject to different
rotation requirements from other non-executive directors under
the NZX Listing Rules.
The following amendments are also proposed:
• Updating references to refer to current legislation (e.g. the
introduction of the Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013) and
removing references to repealed legislation (e.g. references
to the Securities Act 1978 and Securities Transfer Act 1991).
• Clarifying the wording in clause 34.12, relating to written
resolutions by directors.
• Removing all references to facsimile communication.
• Making consequential alterations in numbering throughout
the Constitution.
Under the Companies Act 1993, the proposed amendments must
be approved by a special resolution of shareholders. As the
amendments to the Constitution do not impose or remove a
restriction on the activities of the Company or affect the rights
attaching to shares, the shareholder minority buy-out rights under
the Companies Act 1993 do not apply.
As required by NZX Listing Rule 2.19.1, Russell McVeagh has provided
an opinion to NZX that it considers that these amendments comply
with the NZX Listing Rules.

amendments can be viewed:
