reappointed as the auditors of the Company. Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993
provides that the fees and expenses of the auditor are to be fixed in such a manner as the

authorise the Directors to fix the remuneration of the auditors.
Resolution 4 – Alterations to constitution
This special resolution seeks shareholder approval to amend the Company’s constitution.
The amendments are procedural in nature and are required in order to comply with
updated Listing Rules. The key changes reflect the following:
1. Including a provision requiring the Company to comply with the minimum board
composition requirements of the NZX Listing Rules.
2. Updating the clauses relating to director rotation to incorporate updated
requirements of the NZX Listing Rules. Previously one third of directors were
required to retire each year. Under the updated Listing Rules 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.
3. To remove a provision restricting appointment of a managing director for a term
of more than five years, to reflection deletion of that NZX Listing Rule restriction.
4. Requiring voting at meetings of shareholders to be conducted by poll, as required
by the updated Listing Rules.
Shareholders can view all proposed amendments in mark-up at
http://www.newtalismangoldmines.co.nz/2019/08/agm-2019/.
The proposed amendments do not impose or remove a restriction on the Company’s
activities, and accordingly no rights arise under section 110 of the Companies Act 1993.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the
amendments to the Company’s constitution.
