Explanatory Notes
These notes form part of the Notice of Annual Meeting
Ordinary Resolution 1: Appointment and Remuneration of Auditor
Section 207T of the Companies Act 1993 provides that a company’s auditor is automatically reappointed
unless there is a resolution or other reason for the auditor not to be re-appointed. Scales wishes Deloitte to
continue as Scales’ auditor, and Deloitte has indicated its willingness to do so.
Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 provides that the fees and expenses of the auditor are to be fixed
in such a manner as Scales determines at the Annual Meeting. The Board proposes that, consistent with
past practice, the auditor’s fees be fixed by the Directors. The Board unanimously recommends that
shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 1.
Ordinary Resolution 2: Re-election of Director
The NZX Listing Rules state Directors must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual
meeting following the Director’s appointment, or 3 years, whichever is longer. Accordingly, Nick Harris is
required to retire at this meeting. Nick, being eligible, offers himself for re-election, and the Board
unanimously supports his re-election and recommends that shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 2.
Having had regard to the factors described in the NZX Corporate Governance Code that may impact
director independence, the Board considers that Nick Harris will be a Non Executive Independent Director.
Biography for Nick Harris:
Term of Office: First appointed to the Board in 2014. Last re-elected on 14 June 2017.
Nick was elected to the Board in 2014, having been appointed a Director of both Scales’ Storage &
Logistics division and Meateor in 2012. Nick was previously the Managing Director, and was one of
the founding shareholders of Hellers Limited, New Zealand’s largest bacon, ham and small goods
company. Nick is a shareholder and Director of several private companies. He is a past Chair of
Enterprise North Canterbury Trust and is currently Deputy Chair of the Canterbury Hockey
Association. Nick is Chair of Scales’ Health & Safety and Sustainability Committee and is a member
of Scales’ Audit and Risk Management Committee.

Questions in advance of the meeting
To assist the Board to provide answers to questions from shareholders, Scales is offering a facility for
shareholders to submit questions in advance of the Annual Meeting. Questions should relate to matters
that are relevant to the Annual Meeting including matters arising from the financial reports and any general
questions regarding the performance of Scales. Individual responses to questions will not be provided, but
the Chair will, at the Annual Meeting, endeavour to address commonly raised questions. Questions can be

Virtual Meeting
In light of New Zealand Government restrictions and recommendations designed to limit the spread of
COVID-19, particularly limiting large gatherings of people, Scales has made the decision to hold its first
virtual Annual Meeting. All shareholders will have the opportunity to attend and participate in the 2020
Annual Meeting online via an internet connection (using a computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone).

ask questions, by using their own computers or mobile devices. Shareholders will still be able to appoint a
