Explanatory Notes
Shareholder/Bondholder Questions

Shareholders and bondholders are invited to submit

questions prior to the Annual Meeting by post

(PO Box 6443, Wellesley Street, Auckland)

or by email (sceginfo@skycity.co.nz).

SkyCity will aggregate the main themes of the

questions received by 5.00pm (New Zealand time)

on Friday 11 October 2019 and respond to them at the

Annual Meeting. This means that not every question

will be answered individually and some questions

may be covered in the Chair’s Address or Chief

Executive Officer’s address.

Car Parking at SkyCity Auckland

Shareholders and bondholders attending the

Annual Meeting may park free of charge in the

SkyCity Auckland Main Car Park.

Please take a ticket on entry into the car park and

we will replace your ticket with a prepaid one at the

Annual Meeting.

Attendance

All shareholders are entitled to attend and vote

at the Annual Meeting or to appoint a proxy or

representative (in the case of a corporate shareholder)

to attend and vote on their behalf. The appointment

of a proxy or representative does not preclude a

shareholder from attending and voting at the Annual

Meeting in place of the proxy or representative.

Bondholders who are not also shareholders are

invited to attend the Annual Meeting, but are not

entitled to vote on the resolutions.

For those shareholders attending the Annual Meeting,

please bring the combined attendance card, proxy

form and voting paper with you to assist with your

registration and for voting purposes. Bondholders

who are not also shareholders have not been sent

this document, as only shareholders (or the proxies

or corporative representatives of shareholders) are

entitled to vote on the resolutions which are included

on the agenda for the Annual Meeting. Bondholders

are nonetheless invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

Voting

Voting at the Annual Meeting will be, as has been the

practice in the past, by way of poll.

Pursuant to section 105(2) of the Companies Act 1993,

an ordinary resolution means a resolution passed by

a simple majority of the votes of those shareholders

entitled to vote and voting on the resolution.

Pursuant to section 2(1) of the Companies Act 1993,

a special resolution means a resolution approved by

a majority of 75% of the votes of those shareholders

entitled to vote and voting on the resolution.

Proxies

Shareholders who wish to vote by appointing a proxy

to vote on their behalf may direct their proxy to vote

for or against a resolution, to abstain from voting or to

exercise their discretion as to how to vote. Please note

that your proxy will not be able to vote at the Annual

Meeting unless you have provided a voting direction

or discretion to them.

A proxy need not be a shareholder and may be

appointed online or by completing the form

accompanying this Notice of Annual Meeting.

The appointment must be lodged online at

www.investorvote.co.nz or, if you complete the

accompanying form, either sent by fax to

+64 9 488 8787 or sent by mail to Computershare

Investor Services Limited, Level 2, 159 Hurstmere

Road, Takapuna, Private Bag 92119, Auckland 1142

and be received by no later than 10.00am (New

Zealand time) on Wednesday 16 October 2019.

If, in appointing your proxy, you do not name a

person to be your proxy (either online or on the

accompanying form), or your named proxy does not

attend the Annual Meeting, the Chair of the Annual

Meeting will be your proxy and may only vote in

accordance with your express direction.

34

You may appoint the Chair of the Annual Meeting
as your proxy. If you appoint the Chair as proxy and

have marked the ‘proxy discretion’ box in relation to

resolution 1 or 2, the Chair will vote for that resolution.

Live Broadcast

A live recording of the Annual Meeting will

be broadcast on the company’s website at

www.skycityentertainmentgroup.com commencing

at 10.00am (New Zealand time) on Friday 18 October

2019. A test page is currently available on our website

so that you can visit prior to the Annual Meeting and

ensure that you will be able to view and hear the

broadcast.

The recording will also be available on the company’s

website following the Annual Meeting.

Results of voting will also be posted on the

company’s website following the conclusion of the

Annual Meeting and finalisation of the voting results.

Resolution 1

Alteration of Constitution

Background

On 1 January 2019, NZX Limited introduced new NZX

Listing Rules (“New Listing Rules”). A copy of the New

Listing Rules is available at www.nzx.com.

All NZX listed companies were required to transition

to the New Listing Rules on or before 1 July 2019.

SkyCity transitioned to the New Listing Rules on

1 March 2019.

To comply with the New Listing Rules, SkyCity must

alter its constitution. In this regard, an amended

constitution has been prepared and a copy, marked

to show the changes from the existing constitution,

is available on SkyCity’s website at

www.skycityentertainmentgroup.com/

investor-centre/financial-information/reports-

presentations/2019 or by request from the Company

Secretary at jo.wong@skycity.co.nz.

Accordingly, shareholders are being asked to resolve

that SkyCity’s existing constitution be altered with

effect from the close of the Annual Meeting.

Existing Constitution

The company’s existing constitution was adopted

at the 2006 SkyCity Annual Meeting and sets out a

number of NZX Listing Rules in full, including some

NZX Listing Rules which have now been amended.

This means that there are a number of inconsistencies

between the New Listing Rules and the company’s

constitution.

Accordingly, it is proposed to alter the company’s

constitution in order to make it consistent with

the New Listing Rules and move to a “short form”

constitution, which incorporates the relevant New

Listing Rules by reference (as listed companies are

permitted to do) rather than set out in full the text of

the various New Listing Rules.

This does not in itself change the obligations of

SkyCity under the New Listing Rules as the current

constitution includes provisions whereby the

constitution is automatically amended to reflect

changes to the NZX Listing Rules. However, by

moving to a “short form” constitution SkyCity will

minimise the risk that such inconsistencies arise

in the future. SkyCity considers that this will be a

preferable outcome for shareholders.

Special Resolution Required

To alter the new constitution, a special resolution of

shareholders is required under the Companies

Act 1993.

Overview of Changes

A summary of the significant changes to the

constitution is set out on the following pages.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, references to

clause numbers in this section are references to

clause numbers in the constitution as proposed to be

altered.

56

• Methods of holding meetings: Changes have
been made to provide more up-to-date wording

and flexibility to enable director and shareholder

meetings to be held by electronic means.

• Notice of meeting: Changes have been made to

align the requirements set out in the constitution

for a notice of shareholder meeting with recent

changes made to the Companies Act 1993, and for

consistency with current market practice.

• Voting at meetings of shareholders: The New

Listing Rules require that all voting at shareholders’

meetings must be conducted by way of a poll. This

has been reflected (where required) in paragraph

6.1 of schedule 1 to the new constitution.

A number of amendments have also been made

to the remainder of paragraph 6 of schedule 1

to the new constitution to reflect changes in

law which provide greater flexibility around

audio-visual meetings and voting and participation

of shareholders by electronic means.

• Proxies: Amendments have been made to reflect

current market practice relating to appointment of

proxies by electronic means and to reflect changes

to the language used in the New Listing Rules. The

changes do not affect the right to appoint a proxy.

The new constitution has also been updated to

reflect changes to the Companies Act 1993 which

relate to the lodgement of proxies.

• Directors: The rules requiring regular retirement

and re-election of directors have been changed as

follows:

◊ Under the previous Listing Rules, one third

of the directors, or the number nearest to one

third, were required to retire at the annual

meeting each year, but were eligible for

re-election at that annual meeting. The directors

to retire were those who had been longest in

office.

◊ Under the New Listing Rules, a director may

not hold office, without being re-elected,

past the third annual meeting after his or her

appointment or re-election, or for three years,

whichever is the longer.

◊ The previous Listing Rules provided that

executive directors were not required to retire

by rotation. That exception has been removed.

The requirement that the term of appointment

of an executive director not exceed five years has

also been removed.

The constitution has been altered to reflect these

changes made by the New Listing Rules.

• Alternate directors: The constitution has been

altered to remove the ability for directors to appoint

an alternate director.

• Payment of dividends: The constitution has been

amended to remove the ability for dividends to be

paid by way of cheque. Dividends will be paid by

automatic payment only.

• New Listing Rules incorporated by reference: A

number of the New Listing Rules are not expressly

set out in the new constitution (including in

respect of issues of new equity securities, buy backs

and redemptions of equity securities, financial

assistance, major transactions and related party

transactions), but are instead incorporated into the

constitution by reference. SkyCity will accordingly

still be subject to these rules, in accordance with

the New Listing Rules.

• Removal of clauses no longer required to be

incorporated: A number of clauses have been

removed from the constitution where they are no

longer required by the New Listing Rules to be

set out in the constitution. Where applicable, the

equivalent provisions of the New Listing Rules are

incorporated by reference into the new constitution

– see the discussion above.

78

• Other changes: Changes to the definitions in the
constitution, various other less significant wording

changes (which do not impact on their purpose or

effect) and the inclusion of new provisions relating

to transmission of shares, liquidation and processes

around holding board meetings have been made

to reflect the provisions of the New Listing Rules,

to reflect changes to legislation or to generally

modernise the constitution (particularly regarding

electronic communications).

General

If any of the provisions of the updated constitution

are inconsistent with the New Listing Rules

(as amended by any waiver or ruling granted to

SkyCity), the New Listing Rules will prevail.

The proposed alterations to SkyCity’s constitution do

not impose or remove a restriction on the activities

of SkyCity, or the rights attached to shares in SkyCity.

As such, no rights arise under section 110 of the

Companies Act 1993.

As required by New Listing Rule 2.19.1, Bell Gully has

provided an opinion to NZX Limited that it considers

that the proposed new constitution complies with

the New Listing Rules (as amended by a revised

waiver and ruling granted to SkyCity in respect of the

New Listing Rules).

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends shareholders

vote in favour of altering the current constitution.

Resolution 2

Remuneration of Auditor

Section 207T of the Companies Act 1993 provides

that a company’s auditor is automatically

re-appointed at an annual meeting of shareholders

of the company unless there is a resolution or other

reason for the auditor not to be re-appointed.

PricewaterhouseCoopers will automatically be

re-appointed as the auditor of the Company at the

Annual Meeting.

Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 provides that

the fees and expenses of PricewaterhouseCoopers

as auditor are to be fixed in such a manner as the

company determines at the annual meeting.

The Board proposes that, consistent with commercial

practice, the auditor’s fees should be fixed by the

directors. Authority for the directors to fix the fees and

expenses of the auditor is a resolution at each annual

meeting of shareholders of the company.
