Resolution 4: Auditors

resolution authorises the Board to fix the fees and expenses of the auditor.

Resolution 5: Constitution amendments

The Company proposes to amend its existing Constitution in the manner marked up and presented to

shareholders at the annual meeting of shareholders.

Background

On January 2019, NZX introduced new Listing Rules which replaced the former NZX Main Board Listing

Rules dated 1 October 2017.

The updated Listing Rules, under Listing Rule 2.18.1 require the Company to ensure that its Constitution

complies with the updated Listing Rules. A number of amendments must be made to the Company’s

existing Constitution to ensure that it complies with the new Listing Rules.

The amendments proposed are limited to those required to conform to the Listing Rules, make certain

minor changes to update out-of-date references in the Constitution, and to amend certain practical

aspects to better reflect current market practice.

Summary of key changes

A summary of the key changes that have been proposed is set out as follows. Unless expressed

otherwise, references to clause numbers below are references to clause numbers in the Constitution as

proposed to be amended:

 Transfer: Updating legislating references to authorised ways of transferring financial products of

the Company.


 Sale of Minimum Holdings: Clause 12.10(a) has been amended to remove the requirement that

a parcel of shares under the Minimum Holding be sold through NZX Main Board, or in some other

manner approved by NZX in order to comply with Listing Rule 8.1.6(c).


 Voting at Meetings of Shareholders: Provisions in clause 5 of the schedule governing

proceedings at meetings of shareholders and interest groups have been amended to reflect that

voting at shareholder meetings must be by poll as required under Listing Rule 6.1, rather than a

show of hands.


The following amendments are also proposed to generally update the Constitution:


 Removing the ability for notices of meetings of directors to be delivered by facsimile.


 Making consequential alterations in numbering.


A full copy of the marked up Constitution can be viewed online on the Company’s website at

www.cooksglobalfoods.com.

The Company’s solicitors, Duncan Cotterill, have provided an opinion to NZX that they consider that the

Constitution after the proposed amendments will comply with the Listing Rules, as required under Listing

Rule 2.19.1.


Process for amending the Constitution


Pursuant to section 32(2) of the Companies Act 1993, the proposed amendments must be approved by

a special resolution of shareholders.





10568305_1


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 the shares, the shareholder minority buy-out rights under the

Companies Act 1993 do not apply.

2. GENERAL - LISTING RULES

Companies Act 1993: The Company, the Board, each Director and each Shareholder have

the rights, powers, duties and obligations set out in the Act except to the extent that they are

negated or modified by this Constitution.

Compliance with Listing Rules: Notwithstanding anything else in this Constitution, for so

long as the Company is Listed on the NZX Main Board:

(a) those provisions of the Listing Rules which are required to be contained or

incorporated by reference in this Constitution, as they may be modified by any Ruling

relevant to the Company, will be deemed to be incorporated in this Constitution and

(b) the Company must comply with the Listing Rules (as modified by, and subject to, any

waiver or Ruling);

act or omission is deemed to be authorised by the Listing Rules and by this Constitution

notwithstanding such contravention or inconsistency.

3. SHARES

Rights and powers attaching to Shares: Subject to any special rights or restrictions for

the time being attached to any Share, and to the rights and restrictions set out elsewhere in

this Constitution, each Share confers on the holder the rights in section 36(1) of the Act.

Classes of Shares: Different Classes of Shares may be issued by the Company. Without

limiting the Classes which may be issued, any Share may be issued upon the basis that it:

(a) ranks equally with, or in priority to, any existing Share;

10558428_1

(d) does not confer voting rights;

Equity Securities, to any person and in any number it thinks fit. Section 45 of the Act does not

apply to any issue or proposed issue of Shares by the Company.

Bonus issues: Subject to the Listing Rules, the Board may resolve to apply any amount

which is available for Distribution either:

(a) in paying up in full Shares or other Securities of the Company to be issued credited

as fully paid to:

(i) the Shareholders who would be entitled to that amount if it were distributed

by way of dividend, and in the same proportions; and

(ii) if applicable, the holders of any other Securities of the Company who are

entitled by the terms of issue of such Securities to participate in bonus

issues by the Company, whether at the time the bonus issue is made to the

Shareholders, or at some later time, in accordance with their respective

entitlements; or

(b) in paying up any amount which is unpaid on any Shares held by the Shareholders

referred to in clause 4.2(a)(i),

or partly in one way and partly in the other.

5. ALTERATION OF RIGHTS OF SECURITY HOLDERS

Procedure in respect of Shares: The Company shall, before taking action affecting the rights

attached to any Shares, comply with the provisions of sections 116 and 117 of the Act.

Issue of equal or prior ranking Shares: For the purposes of clause 5.1, the issue of further

Shares which rank equally with, or in priority to, any existing Shares, whether as to voting

rights, Distributions or otherwise, is deemed not to be action affecting the rights attaching to

those existing Shares.






10558428_1

6. ACQUISITION AND REDEMPTION OF EQUITY SECURITIES

Powers to acquire, hold and redeem Securities: The Company may:

(a) purchase or otherwise acquire Shares or other Equity Securities from one or more of

in accordance with the provisions, and subject to the restrictions, of the Act, the Listing Rules

and this Constitution (including the NZX Incorporation Rules).

7. EQUITABLE INTERESTS IN SHARES

No recognition of equitable interests: Except as required by law or by this Constitution, no

person shall be recognised by the Company as holding any Share upon trust and the

Company shall not be bound by, nor be compelled to recognise (even after notice), any

equitable, contingent, future or partial interest in any Share, or any interest in any fraction or

part of a Share or (except as provided by this Constitution or by law) any other rights in respect

of any Share, except an absolute right of the registered holder to the entire Share.

8. CALLS ON SHARES

Board may make calls: The Board may, from time to time, make such calls as it thinks fit

upon the Shareholders in respect of any amounts unpaid on any Shares held by them which

are not made payable at fixed times under this Constitution by the terms of issue of those

Shares or any contract for the issue of those Shares.

Shareholders must pay calls: Every Shareholder on receiving at least 10 Working Days'

notice specifying the time or times and the place of payment must pay, in accordance with that

notice, the amount called to be paid in respect of any Shares that Shareholder holds. The

Board may require a call to be paid by instalments. The Board may revoke or postpone any

call.

Time of call: A call is deemed to be made at the time when the resolution of the Board

making the call is passed.

Fixed instalments deemed calls: An amount which, by the terms of issue of a Share, is

payable on allotment or at a fixed date is deemed for the purposes of this Constitution to be a

call duly made and payable on the date on which the amount is payable.






10558428_1

Notice of call: At least 10 Working Days' notice of any call shall be given to the holder of the

Share in respect of which the call is made, specifying the time and place of payment.

Differential calls: The Board may, on the issue of Shares, differentiate between the

Shareholders as to the amounts to be paid in respect of the Shares and the times of payment

of such amounts.

Manner of payment: A Shareholder by whom a call is payable shall pay the amount of the

call to the Company at the time and place specified by the Board.

Joint Shareholders: Joint Shareholders are jointly and severally liable to pay all calls in

respect of Shares registered in their names.

Default interest: If a call in respect of a Share is not paid on or before the due date, the

Shareholder by whom the call is payable shall pay interest on the call from the due date to the

date of actual payment at such rate as the Board determines, unless the Board waives

payment of interest wholly or in part.

Proceedings for recovery of call: In any proceedings for recovery of a call:

(a) it is sufficient to prove that:

(i) the name of the relevant Shareholder is entered in the Share Register as

the holder, or one of the holders, of the Shares to which the call relates;

and

(ii) except in relation to any amount which, by the terms of issue of a Share, is

payable on allotment or at a fixed date, the resolution making the call is

entered in the Records and notice of the call has been duly given,

and proof of the matters mentioned in this clause is conclusive evidence of the

debt; and

(b) it is not necessary to prove the appointment or qualification of any member of the

Board which made the call nor any other matter.

Payment in advance of calls: The Board may, on behalf of the Company, accept and receive

from any Shareholder in advance any amount uncalled and unpaid upon any Shares held by

that Shareholder and may, until the date on which the amount becomes payable pursuant to a

call, pay interest on the amount at such rate as the Board and the Shareholder agree.

Repayment of calls paid in advance: The Board may at any time repay to any

Shareholder the whole or any portion of any money paid in advance of a call upon giving that

holder at least 48 hours notice in writing and as from the date of such repayment interest (if

any) shall cease to accrue on the money so repaid.

No right to interest on calls paid in advance: A Shareholder is not entitled as of right to

any payment of interest on any amount paid in advance of a call and the Board may decline

to pay any interest. Any amount so paid in advance must not be taken into account in

ascertaining the amount of any Distribution payable upon the Shares concerned.






10558428_1

9. FORFEITURE OF SHARES

Notice requiring payment of call: If a Shareholder fails to pay any call or instalment of a call

on the due date, the Company may at any time thereafter by written notice to that Shareholder

require payment of the amount unpaid together with any accrued interest and all expenses

incurred by the Company by reason of such non-payment.

Contents of notice: The notice shall specify a further date (not earlier than 10 Working Days

after the date of service of the notice) on or before which the payment is to be made, and shall

state that, if payment is not made by the specified date, the Share in respect of which the call

or instalment of a call is due, is liable to be forfeited.

Forfeiture for non-payment: If payment is not made by the date specified in the notice then,

at any time thereafter before the payment required by the notice has been made, any Share in

respect of which the notice has been given may be forfeited by a resolution of the Board to that

effect. The forfeiture shall include all Distributions declared in respect of the forfeited Share

and not paid before the forfeiture.

Notice of forfeiture: When a Share has been forfeited, the Company shall give notice of the

resolution to the Shareholder in whose name the Share stood immediately prior to the

forfeiture, and shall enter in the Share Register details of the forfeiture.

Cancellation of forfeiture: A forfeiture may be cancelled at any time before the sale of the

forfeited Share, on such terms as the Board thinks fit.

Effect of forfeiture: The holder of a Share which has been forfeited ceases to be a

Shareholder in respect of the forfeited Share notwithstanding any other provision in this

Constitution, but remains liable to the Company for all money payable in respect of the

forfeited Share.

10. LIEN ON SHARES

Lien on Shares: The Company has a first and paramount lien upon each Share, the proceeds

of sale of the Share, and all Distributions made in respect of the Share, for:

(a) all unpaid calls owing in respect of the Share and interest thereon (if any);

(b) sale expenses owing to the Company in respect of any such Share; and

(c) any amount which the Company may be called upon to pay under any legislation in

respect of the Share, whether or not the due date for payment thereof has arrived.

Waiver of lien: Unless otherwise agreed between the Company and the relevant

Shareholder, the registration of a transfer of a Share shall operate as a waiver of any lien

which the Company may have on that Share, except as provided in clause 13.2.

11. SALE OF SHARES SUBJECT TO FORFEITURE OR LIEN

Company may sell Shares: The Company may sell any forfeited Share, or any Share on

which the Company has a lien, in such manner as the Board thinks fit, but the Company shall

not sell any Share:






10558428_1

(a) unless the amount in respect of which any lien exists is due and payable; and

(b) until the expiry of 10 Working Days after written notice demanding payment of the

amount has been given to the person entitled to receive notice of meetings of

Shareholders in respect of the Share.

Proceeds of sale: The net proceeds (after deduction of any expenses) of the sale of a

forfeited Share or of any Share sold for the purpose of enforcing a lien shall be applied in or

towards satisfaction of any unpaid calls, interest or other amount in respect of which any lien

exists (as the case may require). The residue, if any, shall be paid to the holder of the Share at

the time of its forfeiture or, in the case of a Share sold for the purpose of enforcing a lien, the

holder immediately prior to the sale or, if applicable in either case, to the Personal

Representative of the holder.

Evidence: A certificate by a Director that any power of sale has arisen and is exercisable by

the Company under this Constitution, or that a Share has been forfeited on the date stated in

the certificate, shall be conclusive evidence of those facts.

Sale procedure: For giving effect to any sale after forfeiture of any Share or for enforcing a

lien over any Share, the Board may:

(a) authorise any person to transfer any Share to the purchaser;

(b) execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the person to whom the Share is sold or

disposed of, and register that person as the holder of the Share on the Share

Register; and

(c) receive the consideration, if any, given for the Share.

The purchaser shall not be bound to see to the application of the purchase money (if any), and

the title of the purchaser shall not be affected by any irregularity or invalidity in relation to the

forfeiture, sale or disposal of that Share. The remedy of any person having a cause of action

in relation to the sale is in damages only and solely against the Company.

12. TRANSFER OF SHARES

Right to transfer: Subject to any restrictions contained in this Constitution, a Shareholder or

Personal Representative may transfer any Share:

(a) pursuant to a "designated settlement system" within the meaning set out in section

156M of the Reserve Bank of New Zealand Act 1989, which is applicable to the

Company;

(b)(a) in any manner authorised by or pursuant to the FMCA provided that if registration as

a holder imposes a liability on the transferee, the transfer shall be signed by the

transferee;

(c)(b) by an instrument in common form or in any other form approved by the Board which

has been signed by or on behalf of the transferor and, if registration as a holder

imposes a liability on the transferee, also signed by the transferee;






10558428_1

(d)(c) under any other share transfer system which operates in relation to the trading of

securities on any stock exchange outside New Zealand on which Shares are listed

and which is applicable to the Company; or

(e)(d) by an instrument of transfer which complies with this Constitution.

Overseas execution: Where an instrument of transfer executed by a transferor overseas

would have complied with the provisions of the FMCA had it been executed by the transferor in

New Zealand, it may nevertheless be registered by the Company if it is executed in a manner

acceptable to the Company or its Share Registrar.

Other forms of transfer: An instrument of transfer of Shares to which the provisions of clause

12.1 and 12.212.2 are not applicable shall:

(a) be in any common form or any other form approved by the Company or the Share

Registrar;

(b) be signed or executed by or on behalf of the transferor; and

(c) if registration as holder of the Share imposes a liability on the transferee, be signed

or executed by or on behalf of the transferee.

Delivery to Company: An instrument transferring Shares must be delivered to the Company

or to the Share Registrar, together with such evidence (if any) as the Company or the Share

Registrar reasonably requires to prove the title of the transferor to, or right of the transferor to

transfer, the Shares.

Board may refuse or delay registration of transfer: Subject to the Act, the Board may, in its

absolute discretion, refuse or delay the registration of, a transfer of any Share:

(a) if permitted to do so by the Act or Listing Rules;

(b) if the Company has a lien on the Share;

(c) if the transferor fails to produce such evidence as the Company or the Share

Registrar reasonably requires to prove the title of the transferor to, or right of the

transferor to transfer, the Share; or

(d) if registration of the transfer (together with registration of any further transfer or

transfers then held by the Company and awaiting registration) would result in less

than a Minimum Holding of Shares of the relevant Class standing in the name of the

transferee.

When transfer effective: A transferor of a Share is deemed to remain the holder of the Share

until the name of the transferee is entered in the Share Register in respect of the Share.

Company to retain transfer: If the Company registers an instrument of transfer it shall retain

the instrument.

Multiple registers: The Share Register may, by resolution of the Board, be divided into two or

more registers, which may be kept in different places, and may be kept by one or more Share

Registrars.

Formatted: Condensed by 0.1 pt






10558428_1

Registration of separate parcels: A Shareholder or a transferee may request the Company

to register the Shares held by that person in two or more separately identifiable parcels. Where

the Company agrees to such a request, the Company may, so far as it considers convenient,

communicate with the Shareholder, pay dividends and otherwise act in respect of such parcel,

as if the separately identifiable parcels belonged to different persons.

Compulsory disposal when holding less than Minimum Holding: The Board may at any

time give notice to a Shareholder holding less than a Minimum Holding of Shares of any Class

that if at the expiration of three months after the date the notice is given the Shareholder still

holds less than a Minimum Holding of Shares of that Class, the Board may exercise the power

of sale of those Shares set out in this clause. If that power of sale becomes exercisable:

(a) The Board may arrange for the sale of the relevant Shares on behalf of the

Shareholder., through the NZX Main Board, or in some other manner approved by

NZX.

(b) The Shareholder shall be deemed to have authorised the Company to act on behalf

of the Shareholder in relation to the sale of the relevant Shares, and to sign all

necessary documents relating to such sale.

(c) The Company shall account to the Shareholder for the net proceeds of sale (after

deduction of reasonable sale expenses) which shall be held on trust by the Company

for, and paid (together with interest at such rate (if any) as the Board deems

appropriate) to, the Shareholder, on surrender of the certificate (if any) relating to the

relevant Shares.

(d) The title of the purchaser of any Shares sold pursuant to this clause shall not be

affected by any irregularity in the exercise or purported exercise of the power of sale

specified in this clause and the receipt of the Company shall be a good discharge to

the purchaser for the purchase price.

Securities other than Shares: The provisions of this section 12 shall apply, with any

necessary modifications, to Securities of the Company other than Shares except to the extent

(if any) provided otherwise by the terms of issue of such Securities, by the Listing Rules, or by

law.

13. TRANSMISSION OF SHARES

Transmission on death of Shareholder: If a Shareholder dies, the survivor, if the deceased

was a joint Shareholder, or the Personal Representative shall be the only persons recognised

by the Company as having any title to or interest in the Shares of the deceased Shareholder

but nothing in this clause shall release the estate of a deceased joint Shareholder from any

liability in respect of any Share or constitute a release of any lien which the Company may

have in respect of any Share.

Rights of Personal Representatives: A Personal Representative of a Shareholder:

(a) is entitled to exercise all rights (including without limitation the rights to receive

Distributions, to attend meetings and to vote in person or by Representative), and is

subject to all limitations, attached to the Shares held by that Shareholder; and






10558428_1

(b) is entitled to be registered as holder of those Shares, but such registration shall not

operate as a release of any rights (including any lien) to which the Company was

entitled prior to registration of the Personal Representative pursuant to this sub-

clause.

Joint Personal Representatives: Where a Share is subject to the control of two or more

persons as Personal Representatives, they shall, for the purposes of this Constitution, be

deemed to be joint holders of the Share.

14. DISTRIBUTIONS

Power to authorise: The Board, if satisfied on reasonable grounds that the Company will

immediately after the Distribution satisfy the solvency test may, subject to the Act and this

Constitution, authorise Distributions by the Company at times, and of amounts, and to any

Shareholders, as it thinks fit and may do everything which is necessary or expedient to give

effect to any such Distribution.

Form of Distribution: Subject to the rights of holders of any Shares in a Class, the Board

may make a Distribution in such form as it thinks fit, but except as provided in clause 14.3 shall

not differentiate between Shareholders as to the form in which a Distribution is made without

the prior approval of the Shareholders.

Currency of payment: The Board, if it thinks fit, may differentiate between Shareholders as to

the currency in which any Distribution is to be paid. In exercising its discretion the Board may

have regard to the registered address of a Shareholder, the register on which a Shareholder's

Shares are registered and such other matters (if any) as the Board considers appropriate. If

the Board determines to pay a Distribution in a currency other than New Zealand currency, the

amount payable shall be converted from New Zealand currency in such manner, at such time,

and at such exchange rate, as the Board thinks fit.

Entitlement to dividends: The Board shall not authorise a dividend:

(a) in respect of some but not all the Shares in a Class; or

(b) that is of a greater value per Share in respect of some Shares of a Class than it is in

respect of other Shares of that Class,

unless the amount of the dividend in respect of a Share of that Class is in proportion to the

amount paid to the Company in satisfaction of the liability of the Shareholder under this

Constitution or under the terms of issue of the Share, but a Shareholder may waive that

Shareholder's entitlement to receive a dividend or any part thereof by written notice to the

Company signed by or on behalf of the Shareholder.

Deduction of money: The Board may deduct from a Distribution payable to a Shareholder

any amount which is due and payable by the Shareholder to the Company on account of calls

or otherwise in relation to any Shares held by that Shareholder. The Board must deduct from

any dividend or other distribution payable to any Shareholder any amount it is required by law

to deduct, including withholding and other taxes.

Method of payment: A Distribution payable in cash may be paid in such manner as the Board

thinks fit to the entitled Shareholders or, in the case of joint Shareholders, to the Shareholder

named first in the Share Register, or to such other person and in such manner as the






10558428_1

Shareholder or joint Shareholders may in writing direct. Any one of two or more joint

Shareholders may give a receipt for any payment in respect of the Shares held by them as

joint Shareholders.

No interest on Distributions: The Company is not liable to pay interest in respect of any

Distribution.

Payment of small Distribution amounts: Where the net amount of a Distribution payable to

a Shareholder is less than such minimum amount as may be determined from time to time by

the Board for the purposes of this clause, the Company may, with the prior approval of that

Shareholder, defer payment of the Distribution to that Shareholder until the earlier of:

(a) such time as that Shareholder has an aggregate entitlement to net Distributions of

not less than such minimum amount; and

(b) the date upon which that Shareholder ceases to hold any Shares.

Unclaimed Distributions: Dividends or other monetary Distributions unclaimed for more than

one year after having been authorised may be used for the benefit of the Company until

claimed. The Company shall be entitled to mingle the Distribution with other money of the

Company and shall not be required to hold it or to regard it as being impressed with any trust.

All dividends or other monetary Distributions unclaimed for more than five years after having

been authorised may be forfeited by the Board for the benefit of the Company. The Board

shall nevertheless, at any time after such forfeiture, but subject to compliance with the solvency

test, annul the forfeiture and agree to pay a claimant who produces satisfactory evidence of

entitlement.

15. EXERCISE OF POWERS OF SHAREHOLDERS

Alternative forms of meeting: A meeting of Shareholders may be held either:

(a) by a number of Shareholders, who constitute a quorum, being assembled together

at the place, date and time appointed for the meeting; or

(b) if determined by the Board and, to the extent permitted by the Act and the Listing

Rules, by means of audio, audio and visual, or electronic communication; or

(c) if determined by the Board, by a combination of both of the methods described in

clauses 15.1(a) and 15.1(b).

The Company is not required to hold meetings of Shareholders in the manner specified in (b)

or (c). Meetings will be held in that manner only if the notice of meeting so specifies or the

Board otherwise decides that the Company should do so. For the avoidance of doubt, if a

meeting is held in the manner specified in clauses (b) or (c) a Shareholder participating in a

meeting by means of audio, audio and visual, or electronic communication is present at the

meeting and part of the quorum.

Powers exercisable by Ordinary Resolution: Unless otherwise specified in the Act or this

Constitution, a power or right of approval reserved to Shareholders may be exercised by an

the meeting, present in person or by Representative;

(b) any Shareholder in the relevant Interest Group, present in person or by

Representative, may demand a poll; and

SCHEDULE: PROCEEDINGS AT MEETINGS OF THE BOARDPROCEEDINGS AT MEETINGS OF

BOARDAlternative forms of meeting: A meeting of the Board may be held either:

(a) by a number of the Directors who constitute a quorum, being assembled together at

the place, date and time appointed for the meeting; or

(b) by means of audio, audio and visual, or electronic, communication by which all

Directors participating and constituting a quorum can simultaneously hear each other

throughout the meeting; or

(c) by a combination of the methods described in sub-clauses (a) and (b) above.

Convening of meetings: A Director, or an employee of the Company at the request of a

of the Schedule.

Notice of meeting: The following provisions apply in relation to meetings of the Board

(except where otherwise agreed by all Directors in relation to any particular meeting or

meetings):

(a) Not less than five clear days' notice of a meeting shall be sent to each Director,

unless:

(i) the Director waives that right; or

(ii) the chairperson (or, in the chairperson's absence from New Zealand, the

deputy chairperson if they are available and if not, any other Director)

believes it is necessary to convene a meeting of the Board as a matter of

urgency, in which case shorter notice of the meeting of the Board may be

given, so long as at least two hours' notice is given. Any such shorter

notice may be given by telephone communication to each Director at the

telephone number provided to the Company by each Director provided

that written notice shall be given to the Directors within the shorter notice

period where it is practicable to do so.

(b) Notice to a Director of a meeting may be:

(i) given to the Director in person by telephone or other oral communication;

(ii) delivered to the Director;

(iii) posted to the address given by the Director to the Company for such

purpose; or

the Director to the Company for such purpose; or

(v)(iv) sent by electronic means in accordance with any request made by the

Director from time to time for such purpose.

(c) A notice of meeting shall:

(i) specify the date, time and place of the meeting;

(ii) in the case of a meeting by means of audio, audio and visual, or electronic,

communication, specify the manner in which each Director may participate

in the proceedings of the meeting; and

(iii) give an indication of the matters to be discussed, in sufficient detail to

enable a reasonable Director to appreciate the general import of the

matters, unless this is already known to all the Directors or is impracticable

in any particular circumstances.

(d) A notice of meeting given to a Director pursuant to this clause is deemed to be given:

(i) in the case of oral communication, at the time of notification;

(ii) in the case of delivery, by handing the notice to the Director or by delivery

of the notice to the address of the Director;

(iii) in the case of posting, three days after it is posted; or

(iv) in the case of facsimile transmission, when the Company receives a

transmission report by the sending machine which indicates that the

facsimile was sent in its entirety to the facsimile telephone number given by

the Director; or

(v)(iv) in the case of electronic means, at the time of transmission.

(e) If all reasonable efforts have been made to give notice of a meeting to a Director in

accordance with this clause 1.3 but the Director cannot be contacted, notice of the

meeting shall be deemed to have been duly given to that Director.

Waiver of notice irregularity: An irregularity in the giving of notice of a meeting is waived if

each of the Directors either attends the meeting without protest as to the irregularity or agrees

(whether before, during, or after the meeting) to the waiver.

Quorum: A quorum for consideration of any matter at a meeting of the Board is a majority of

Directors entitled to vote on the matter (or such other number as the Board may from time to

time determine, provided that such number is not less than three). No matter may be

considered at a meeting of the Board if a quorum for the purposes of the matter is not present.

Meeting adjourned if no quorum: If a quorum is not present within 30 minutes after the time

appointed for a meeting of the Board, the chairperson may adjourn the meeting to a specified

day, time and place, being within the next two Working Days. If the chairperson does not so

adjourn the meeting, the meeting will be adjourned automatically until the same day in the

following week at the same time and place. If at the adjourned meeting a quorum is not






10558428_1

present within 30 minutes from the time appointed for the meeting, the Directors present will

constitute a quorum. Notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to the Directors at least 24

hours prior to the date of the adjourned meeting.

Insufficient number of Directors: The Directors may act notwithstanding any vacancy in

their body, but if and so long as the number of Directors holding office is less than the

minimum number (if any) fixed by clause 17.1, the continuing Directors may act only for the

purposes of increasing the number of Directors to that number or calling a meeting of the

Shareholders.

Election of chairperson: The chairperson, or failing the chairperson the deputy chairperson,

shall chair all meetings of the Directors. If at any time there is no such chairperson or deputy

chairperson, or if at any meeting the chairperson or deputy chairperson is not present within 10

minutes after the time appointed for holding the meeting, or is present but not entitled to vote

on a particular matter, the Directors present may choose one of their number to be chairperson

of that meeting, or for consideration of that particular matter, as the case may be.

Voting: Every Director has one vote. In the case of an equality of votes the chairperson has a

casting vote. A resolution of the Board is passed if it is agreed to without dissent by all

Directors present and entitled to vote on the resolution, or if a majority of the votes cast on it

are in favour of the resolution. A Director must not vote where that Director is not permitted to

vote by the NZX Rules or this Constitution. A Director present at a meeting of the Board may

abstain from voting on a resolution, and any Director who abstains from voting on a

resolution will not be treated as having voted in favour of it for the purposes of the Act.

Written resolution: A resolution in writing, signed or assented to by a majority of the

Directors entitled to vote on the resolution is as valid and effective as if passed at a meeting of

the Board duly convened and held provided those Directors would constitute a quorum for

consideration of the resolution at a meeting of the Board and that those Directors have made

all efforts they consider reasonable to contact the other Directors for the purposes of

determining whether they will sign or assent to the resolution. Any such resolution may consist

of several documents (including facsimile or other similar means of communication including

electronic communication such as by email) in similar form, each signed or assented to by one

or more Directors (whose assent may be given by electronic communication, including email).

A copy of any such resolution shall be entered in the Records. The Company shall, within five

Working Days after any resolution is passed in accordance with this clause, send a copy of

the resolution to each Director who has not signed or assented to the resolution.

Committees: A committee of Directors shall, in the exercise of the powers delegated to it,

comply with any procedural or other requirements imposed on it by the Board. Subject to any

such requirements, the provisions of this Constitution relating to proceedings of Directors

apply, with appropriate modification, to meetings of a committee of Directors.

Validity of actions: The acts of a person as a Director are valid even though the person's

appointment was defective or the person is not qualified for appointment.

Minutes: The Board shall ensure that minutes are kept of all proceedings at meetings of the

Shareholders and of the Board. Minutes which have been signed correct by the chairperson of

the meeting are prima facie evidence of the proceedings.

Other Proceedings: Except as set out in this Schedule, the Board may regulate its own

procedure.
