Proxies and voting
The persons who will be entitled to vote on the
resolutions at the meeting are those persons who
will be the shareholders of the Company at 5.00pm
on Monday, 07 October 2019. Any shareholder who
is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may
appoint a proxy instead to attend and vote on their
behalf. Shareholders entitled to attend and vote at
the meeting may cast a postal or online vote instead
of attending in person or by proxy. A proxy need
not be a shareholder of the Company. The Chair
of the Company is willing to act as proxy for any
shareholder who may wish to appoint her for that
purpose. The Chair intends to vote any undirected
proxies in favour of the resolutions.
If you wish to appoint a proxy, please review the
enclosed proxy form which provides information for
you to complete the form online, by mail or by fax. If
you wish to cast a postal vote or vote online, please
review the enclosed proxy form which provides
information for you to complete the form online, by
mail or by fax.
For your vote or proxy appointment to be effective,
it must be received not less than 48 hours before the
time of holding the meeting. Graham Leaming, CFO,
has been authorised by the Board to receive and
count postal and online votes at the meeting.
Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 are ordinary resolutions,
requiring a simple majority of the votes of those
shareholders entitled to vote and voting. Resolution
4 is a special resolution, requiring a majority
of 75% or more of the votes of those shareholders
entitled to vote and voting.
Explanatory Notes
The new NZX Listing Rules, which the Company
adopted on 1 January 2019, prohibit a director from
holding office (without re-election) for longer than 3
years or 3 annual meetings, whichever is longer. If
a director is eligible, he or she may offer himself or
herself for re-election by shareholders at the meeting.
Resolution 1: Re-election of Liz Coutts
Liz Coutts was appointed to the Board in 2002 and
as Skellerup Chair in January 2017. Liz was last re-
elected by shareholders at the 2015 Annual Meeting
and therefore is required to retire in accordance with
new NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1. Being eligible, Liz offers
herself for election as a non-executive director of
the Company. For the purposes of the NZX Listing
Rules, the Board has determined that Liz Coutts is an
independent director.
Liz has over 20 years governance experience as
Board Chair and Audit Committee Chair in both
private and public sectors across a broad range of
industries. Liz is Chair of the Ports of Auckland and
Oceania Healthcare, a director of EBOS Group and in
June 2019 completed a two-year term as President of
the Institute of Directors.
Resolution 2: Re-election of David Mair
David Mair was appointed to the Board in November
2006, and to the CEO role in August 2011. David was
elected by shareholders at the 2016 Annual Meeting
and therefore is required to retire in accordance
with new NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1. Being eligible,
David offers himself for election as a director of the
Company. For the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules,
the Board has determined that David Mair is not an
independent director.
Notice of Meeting
Notice is hereby given that the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Skellerup Holdings Limited (the Company) will
be held in the South Stand at Eden Park, Reimers Avenue, Auckland on Wednesday, 09 October 2019 at 2.30pm.
SKELLERUP HOLDINGS
David has wide-ranging international experience
at director and executive level, and is an expert in
managing international manufacturing businesses
with a particular knowledge of Asia, where he
has both lived and worked for a number of years.
David has previously been a director of the A2 Milk
Company, an Executive Director of Interlock Group
and Vice President of Asia Pacific Operations of ASSA
ABLOY (Sweden). He is currently a Director of Forté
Funds Management Limited.
Resolution 3: Remuneration of auditors
The current auditors of the Company, Ernst & Young,
will be automatically reappointed as the Company’s
auditor under section 207T of the Companies Act
1993. Under section 207S of the Companies Act 1993
auditors’ fees and expenses must be fixed in the
manner determined at the meeting. Shareholder
approval is therefore sought for the Board to fix Ernst
& Young’s remuneration for the following year.
Resolution 4: Amendment of the Company’s constitution
This special resolution seeks shareholder approval to
alter the Company’s constitution. The amendments to
the constitution are procedural in nature as a result
of the Company’s transition to the new NZX Listing
Rules on 1 January 2019 and reflect the following:
• including an express statement that the Company
shall comply with the minimum Board composition
requirements of the NZX Listing Rules;
• amending the clauses relating to the rotation of
directors to cross refer to the requirements set
out in the NZX Listing Rules;
• amending the procedure allowing for the sale of
securities held in less than a minimum holding
so as to provide for those securities to be sold on
market (including through a broker on behalf of
the Company), rather than through NZX or in some
other manner approved by NZX;
• removing clauses in respect of Managing
Directors as these are no longer consistent with
the NZX Listing Rules; and
• removing the specific quorum for a meeting of
an interest group, so that the quorum for such
a meeting is consistent with other meetings of
shareholders.
The Company’s constitution was last amended in
2016. An amended constitution has been prepared
and a copy, marked up to show the changes from the
Company’s existing constitution, is available at
http://www.skellerupholdings.com/Reports/Skellerup_
Constitution_Amendment_ASM_2019.pdf
Pursuant to a class waiver granted by NZX Regulation,
the Company is permitted to defer updating its
constitution until this Annual Meeting. If any of the
provisions of the updated constitution are inconsistent
with the NZX Listing Rules (as amended by any ruling
granted to the Company), the NZX Listing Rules will
prevail. A copy of the NZX Listing Rules is available at
www.nzx.com.
The proposed alterations to the Company’s constitution
do not impose or remove a restriction on the activities
of the Company, and accordingly no rights arise under
section 110 of the Companies Act 1993.
The Board unanimously recommends shareholders
vote in favour of the amendments to the
Company’s constitution.
Note
Refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the
meeting.
