EXPLANATORY NOTES

RESOLUTIONS

Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 involve the consideration of ordinary

resolutions. An ordinary resolution is a resolution that must be

passed by at least a simple majority of the votes of those

shareholders entitled to vote and voting on the resolutions.

Resolution 4 is proposed as a special resolution. A special

resolution is a resolution that must be passed by at least a 75%

majority of the votes of those shareholders entitled to vote and

voting on the resolution.

RESOLUTION 1: AUDITOR FEES AND EXPENSES

PwC are currently the Company’s auditors and will be automatically

reappointed under the Companies Act 1993. Under the Companies

Act, auditor fees and expenses must be fixed in the manner

determined at the Meeting. Shareholder approval is, therefore,

sought to authorise the Board to fix the fees and expenses of PwC

as auditor.

RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Pursuant to 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. Each of

the Directors has been appointed or reappointed over the past

two years. As a result, none of the Directors are required to retire

in accordance with Listing Rule 2.7.1 at this year’s Meeting.

The Board’s preference is that a portion of the Directors who are

next due for re-election stand each year. Accordingly, Angela Bull

and Peter Griffiths have voluntarily retired and offer themselves

for re-election at this year’s Meeting.

All Directors standing for election do so with the support of the

Board and are considered by the Board to be independent

Directors. Biographical backgrounds of each of the Directors are

set out below.

RESOLUTION 4:

AMENDMENTS TO THE COMPANY’S CONSTITUTION

On 1 January 2019, NZX introduced new Listing Rules (the New

Rules), which took effect with a six month transition period.

The Company will adopt the New Rules on 30 June 2019 and now

proposes to amend its constitution to ensure compliance with the

New Rules. An amended constitution has been prepared. A copy,

marked to show the changes from the existing constitution, is

available:

• At the Annual Meeting

• On the Company’s website:

https://www.metroglass.co.nz/investor-centre/annual-

shareholders-meeting

• Or by request from the Company Secretary:

email: andrew.paterson@metroglass.co.nz, phone: (09) 272 5151.

A summary of the significant changes to the constitution is set out

below. Unless expressly stated otherwise, references to clause

numbers below are references to clause numbers in the

Constitution as proposed to be amended.

• New defined terms

In addition to various minor changes, the term “Securities” has

been updated to reflect the new defined term used in the New

Rules. The New Rules no longer use the defined term

“Securities” and instead use the term “Financial Products” for

consistency with the terminology under the Financial Markets

Conduct Act 2013. Accordingly, the constitution has been

updated to replace references to “Securities” with “Financial

Products”.

• Confirmation of Office

Clause 1.4 has been included to clarify and confirm that the

adoption of a new constitution does not affect offices and any

acts of authority that are in place under any previous

constitution. This clause replaces the wording in clauses 20.2

and part of 22.1, which accordingly have been deleted.

• Effect of a waiver or ruling from a Stock Exchange

The original clause 2.3 has been deleted as it is essentially a

duplicate of clause 2.6 (NZX Rulings).

• Lien on unpaid and partly paid shares

Clause 7.1 has been updated to reflect minor changes to the

language used in the New Rules. There has been no change in

substance to this clause.

• Right to transfer

Clause 9.2 has been updated to reflect the repeal of the

Securities Transfer Act 1991 by the applicable provisions in the

Financial Markets Conduct Act 2013 and the Reserve Bank of

New Zealand Act 1989. There is no change to shareholders’

ability to transfer shares on the Main Board of NZX.

• Sale of less than Minimum Holding
Clause 9.7 has been updated to reflect current market

practice. There is no change to the Company’s powers in

respect of minimum holdings.

• Methods of holding meetings

Clause 11.1 has been updated to provide more up-to-date

wording in relation to holding meetings by electronic means

(i.e., “hybrid meetings” or “virtual meetings”). The Company is

not required to hold either “hybrid meetings” or “virtual

meetings”, but this change provides flexibility for using

technology as part of shareholder meetings.

• Shareholder participation in meetings by electronic means

Clause 11.3 has been added to reflect a change made to the

Companies Act in 2012 in relation to shareholder participation

in meetings by electronic means.

• Rights of Equity Security holders and Directors

The original clause 12.2 was required to be included or

incorporated by reference in the constitution under the

Previous Rules. However, this clause has been deleted as this is

no longer a requirement under the New Rules. Notwithstanding

the deletion of this clause, the New Rules still provide that

equity security holders of all classes are entitled to attend

meetings of shareholders and receive copies (or have access

to electronic copies) of all notices, reports and financial

statements issued generally to holders of financial products

carrying voting rights.

• Audio-visual meetings

Clause 15.2 has been updated to reflect changes made to the

Companies Act in 2012 to provide greater flexibility in relation

to the permitted methods for holding meetings by electronic

means. This is to allow greater flexibility to deal with changes

in technology.

• Declaration of result

Clause 15.12 has been amended to reflect current market

practice.

• Form of proxy

Clause 16.2 has been amended to reflect current market

practice in relation to the appointment of proxies by electronic

means and to reflect changes to the language used in the

New Rules. The changes do not affect the right to appoint a

proxy. The second part of this clause relating to the form of

proxy has been deleted as it is no longer required to be

included or incorporated by reference in a constitution.

Notwithstanding the deletion of this clause, the New Rules

still provide that the proxy form must enable the shareholder

to instruct the proxy to vote for or against all resolutions and

that it may not include any name or office (e.g., chairperson)

filled in as proxy holder.

• Lodging a proxy

Clause 16.3 has been updated to reflect changes to the

Companies Act in 2017 relating to lodging proxies.

• Composition of the Board

The new clause 20.2 has been amended to incorporate by

reference the requirements of the New Rules relating to

Board composition. This is because there is a risk that these

requirements will continue to change.

• Appointment of Directors

Clause 20.3 has been added to clarify the procedure of

appointing a director, and is a requirement that must be

incorporated by reference or included in the constitution

under the New Rules.

• Rotation of Directors

Clause 20.6 has been updated to refer to the rotation

requirements under the New Rules. The changes to this

clause are further discussed below at “New Rules

incorporated by reference”.

• Appointment of Directors to be voted on individually

Original clause 20.6 (relating to the appointment of directors

needing to be voted on individually) has been deleted because

it is no longer required to be included or incorporated by

reference in the constitution under the New Rules. This

requirement is still addressed in New Rule 2.3.3.

• Managing Director

The original clause 22.1 reflected the requirement under the

Previous Rules that the term of appointment of a managing

director must not exceed five years. This has been removed

from clause 22.1 because this restriction no longer applies

under the New Rules.

• Insufficient number of Directors

Clause 23.7 has been updated to reflect the language in the

New Rules. There has been no change in substance to this

clause.

• Interested Directors

Clause 23.14 has been added to reflect the requirements

relating to interested directors. These requirements must be

included in the constitution or incorporated by reference.

• Method of payment

Clause 26.1 has been updated to reflect current market

practice in relation to the method of distribution payments.

• Deductions

Clause 26.3 has been updated to reflect current market

practice in relation to distribution deductions.

• Entitlement date

Clause 26.4 has been included to clarify the date of

distribution payments.

• Service of notices outside New Zealand
The original clause 27.2 was included in the constitution to

comply with the Previous Rules which required it to be included

in the constitution. The New Rules no longer require this

provision to be included or incorporated by reference in the

constitution and, accordingly, this clause has been deleted. This

requirement is still addressed in New Rule 2.14.2.

• Company may appoint attorneys

Clause 30.2 has been deleted as a result of the amendments

made to clause 30 which now refers to the section in the

Companies Act 1993 that relates to the appointment of

attorneys.

• New Rules incorporated by reference

A number of New Rules are not expressly set out in the

constitution, but are incorporated into the constitution by

reference under clause 2.2. The key changes under the New

Rules that are incorporated into the constitution by reference

are:

– Rotation of Directors:

The New Rules require that a Director must not hold office

(without re-election) past the third annual meeting

following that Director’s appointment or three years,

whichever is longer. The Previous Rules required one third of

Directors to retire from office at the annual meeting each

year, and were eligible for re-election.

Under the Previous Rules, executive directors were not

required to retire by rotation. That exception has been

removed so that an executive director is required to retire

by rotation in the same manner as all other directors.

Clause 20.6 of the constitution has been amended to

reflect this change made to the New Rules.

– Voting at Meetings:

While the Company is listed, voting at a meeting of

shareholders must be conducted by poll. Although this is a

new requirement, it does not change the recent practice of

the Company.

SHAREHOLDER QUESTIONS

Shareholders may submit written questions to be considered at

the Meeting. Written questions can be submitted online at

vote.linkmarketservices.com/MPG or by using the Voting Form.

The Company reserves the right not to address any questions

that it is not required to address or, in the Board’s opinion are

not reasonable to address in the context of an annual meeting.

PROCEDURAL NOTES

Voting entitlements for the Meeting will be determined as at

5pm (NZST) on Wednesday 24 July 2019. Registered

shareholders at that time will be the only persons entitled to

vote at the Meeting and only the shares registered in those

shareholders’ names at that time may be voted at the Meeting.

It is anticipated that each resolution will be voted on by way of

a poll. Results of the voting will be available after the conclusion

of the Meeting, and will be notified on the New Zealand and

Australian stock exchanges.
