hold office (without‐re‐election) past the
third annual meeting following that director’s appointment, or 3 years, whichever is the longer.
However, any such directors may offer themselves for re‐election by shareholder approval in
accordance with rule 2.3.
No nominations for directors were received from shareholders. The Board unanimously
recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the re‐election of Andre Nogueira and the
election of Derek Charge as Director of Scott Technology Limited.]

Auditor (Resolution 3)
To record the reappointment of Deloitte as auditor of the Company and to authorise the
Directors to fix the auditor’s remuneration.
Special Resolution – Constitution (Resolution 4):
Resolution 3 is a special resolution and is therefore required to be passed by a majority of 75%
of the votes of those shareholders entitled to vote and voting on the resolution.
The former NZX Main Board & Debt Market Listing Rules (dated 1 October 2017) have been
replaced by updated NZX Listing Rules (dated 1 January 2019) (“NZX Listing Rules”). The
Company transitioned to the new
NZX Listing Rules on 13 May 2019. The changes in the new
constitution are largely to ensure that the constitution complies with the updated
requirements under the NZX Listing Rules. Some clauses and terminology in the constitution
have also been updated or simplified for clarity.
The key changes to the
new constitution are:
clarifying and modernising the permitted methods of transferring shares inside and
outside of New Zealand (including the Board’s right to delay or decline to register any
transfer that has not been completed properly);
clarifying that meetings of shareholders may be held by a combination of physical
and
virtual means;
confirming that voting at meetings of shareholders will be by poll for so long as required
by the NZX Listing Rules;
providing that a person who cannot vote on a resolution for any reason can nevertheless
act as the proxy for another shareholder (if validly
appointed);
clarifying how the proxy notice for a meeting may allow for officers of the company to be
available to act as proxy;
reducing the minimum number of directors who are required to be ordinarily resident in
New Zealand from 3 to 2, to align with the NZX Listing
Rules;
clarifying that directors may be removed by ordinary resolution;
amending the rotation provisions so that:
o each director must retire (but can be re‐elected) after the later of 3 years, or their
3
rd
annual meeting after appointment; and
o any director appointed by the Board must retire (but can be re‐elected) at the
next annual meeting after their appointment;
including an express statement that the Company must comply with the updated
minimum Board composition and rotation requirements of the NZX Listing
Rules;
amending the clauses in respect of Managing Directors for consistency with the rotation
provisions in the NZX Listing Rules; and
adding a provision governing interested directors to reflect the NZX Listing Rules, under
which interested directors may not vote on a Board resolution, except for matters in
which
directors are expressly required to sign a certificate under the Companies Act.

If any of the provisions of the new constitution are inconsistent with the NZX Listing Rules, the NZX
Listing Rules (as amended by any waiver or ruling granted to the Company) prevail. A copy of the
NZX Listing Rules is available at www.nzx.com. A copy of the updated constitution is
available for
inspection at the Company’s registered office, 630 Kaikorai Valley Road, Dunedin, 9011, New
Zealand, and on the Company’s website at https://www.scottautomation.com/investor‐
relations/investor‐overview/.
The new constitution does not impose or remove any restriction on the activities of the Company,
and therefore no shareholder buy‐out rights arise under
section 110 of the Companies Act 1993.
The Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote in favour of revoking the Company’s current
constitution and adopting the new constitution.
