Pip will retire from office at the Annual Meeting and offer herself for

Explanatory

Item 4 – Adoption of New Constitution
(Resolution 3)
The former NZX Main Board/Debt Market Listing Rules (dated
1 October 2017) have been replaced by updated NZX Listing Rules
(dated 1 January 2019) (“New Listing Rules”).
The Company transitioned to the New Listing Rules on 30 June 2019.
To comply with the New Listing Rules, the Company is required to
update its existing constitution. An amended constitution has been
prepared. A copy, marked to show the changes from the existing
constitution, can be viewed under the Annual Meetings section of
our website at https://thea2milkcompany.com/annual-meetings/ or
may be obtained by contacting the share registrar, Link Market
Services. The contact details for Link Market Services can be found
on the enclosed proxy form. Copies will also be available for
inspection at the Annual Meeting.
A summary of the significant changes to the constitution is set out
below. References to clause numbers below are references to clause
numbers in the constitution as proposed to be amended.
• The provision relating to rotation of directors has been amended
to reflect the fact that the New Listing Rules require that all
directors must not hold office without re-election past the third
annual meeting following the director’s appointment or three
years, whichever is 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 amended to reflect these changes
(deletion of the previous clause 17.4(a) and parts of clause 23.1)
which will apply to the Managing Director.
• The New Listing Rules require that all voting at shareholders’
meetings must be conducted by way of a poll. A provision has
been added to the constitution that the chairperson of a
shareholders’ meeting will always require a poll to be conducted
(clause 15.9).
• The constitution currently provides that the Company may buy
back shares in accordance with the Companies Act 1993 and
the NZX and ASX Listing Rules. The Companies Act provides
that, where the constitution allows, the Company may buy back
shares from less than all shareholders. The constitution has
been amended to make it clear that the Company may do this
(in accordance with the Companies Act and the Listing Rules)
(clause 3.1). There is no current intention for the Company to
undertake any buy back of its shares.
Other changes which have been made are:
• references to legislation have been updated to refer to current
legislation, or where the legislation is no longer in force,
references to repealed legislation have been deleted;
• wording has been updated for clarification and for consistency
with the New Listing Rules;
• wording has also been updated for consistency with the
ASX Listing Rules and the ASX Settlement Operating Rules;
• some duplication has been removed; and
• provisions have been added clarifying that notice of directors’
meetings may be given by electronic means.
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 shares, the shareholder minority buy-out rights under
the Companies Act 1993 do not apply. The Company’s New Zealand
lawyers, Harmos Horton Lusk Limited, have provided an opinion to
NZX that the new constitution, once adopted with the proposed
amendments, will comply with the New Listing Rules. The
Company’s Australian lawyers, Johnson Winter & Slattery, have
confirmed to the Company that the new constitution, once
adopted with the proposed amendments, will comply with the
ASX Listing Rules.

entitled to vote by postal vote. You can cast your postal vote
online or by one of the other methods noted above. If you return
your postal vote without indicating how you wish to vote, or your
indication on how to vote is unclear, on any resolution, you will be
deemed to have abstained from voting on that resolution. If you
complete the postal vote section and also appoint a proxy, then
your postal vote will be cast, and your proxy appointment will not

with voting instructions completed but without indicating that it is a

vote on its behalf, in the same manner as that in which it could
appoint a proxy.

If you wish, you may appoint the Chair of the Annual Meeting as
your proxy. To do so, please write “Chair of the Meeting” on the
line following the words “hereby appoint” in the section on the next

will vote according to your instructions. If the Chair is not

particular resolution the proxy will exercise the proxy’s discretion as to
whether to vote and, if so, how to vote.

appropriate details click the blue ‘SUBMIT DETAILS
AND VOTE’ button.
Once you have registered, your voting card will
appear with all of the resolutions to be voted on by
Shareholders at the Annual General Meeting (as set
out in the Notice of Meeting). You may need to use the
scroll bar on the right hand side of the voting card to
scroll up or down to view all resolutions.
Shareholders and proxies can either submit a Full Vote
or a Partial Vote. You can move between the two tabs
by clicking on ‘Full Vote’ or ‘Partial Vote’ at the top of
the voting card.

Full Votes
To submit a full vote on a resolution ensure you are in
the ‘Full Vote’ tab. Place your vote by clicking on the
‘For’, ‘Against’, or ‘Abstain’ voting buttons.
Partial Votes
To submit a partial vote on a resolution ensure you are
in the ‘Partial Vote’ tab. You can enter the number of
votes you would like to vote (for any or all) resolution/s.
The total amount of votes that you are entitled to vote
for will be listed under each resolution. When you enter
the number of votes in a certain box it will automatically
tally how many votes you have left.
Note: If you are submitting a partial vote and do not use all of
your entitled votes, the un-voted portion will be submitted as No
Instruction and therefore will not be counted.
Once you have finished voting on the resolutions scroll
down to the bottom of the box and click the blue ‘Cast
Vote’ or ‘Cast Partial Vote’ button.
Note: You are able to close your voting card during
the meeting without submitting your vote at any time
while voting remains open. Any votes you have already
made will be saved for the next time you open up the
voting card. The voting card will appear on the bottom
left corner of the webpage. The message ‘Not yet
submitted’ will appear at the bottom of the page.
You can edit your voting card at any point while voting
is open by clicking on ‘Edit Card’. This will reopen the
voting card with any previous votes made.
If at any point you have submitted your voting card
and wish to make a change while voting is still open
you can do so by clicking the ‘Edit Card’ button
and making the required change. Once you have
completed your card select the blue ‘Cast Vote’ or
‘Cast Partial Vote’ button.
The voting card remains editable until the voting
is closed at the conclusion of the Annual General
Meeting. Once voting has been closed all voting cards,
submitted and un-submitted, will automatically be
submitted and cannot be changed.
At the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting a red
bar with a countdown timer will appear at the top of
the Webcast and Slide windows advising the remaining
voting time available to shareholders. Please make any
changes required to your voting cards at this point and
submit your voting cards.
If an additional resolution is proposed during the
meeting, there will be a short delay while the resolution
is added to the voting card. Once the resolution has
been added you will be notified by the Chairman during
the meeting. In order to vote on the extra resolution
you will need to reopen your voting card to cast your
vote by clicking the ‘Edit Card’ button.
Note: Registration for the Annual General Meeting and voting opens
one hour before the meeting begins.
