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

submitted in writing with Proxy/Voting forms. Alternatively, you can email your questions to:

info@scalescorporation.co.nz.


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).


Virtual meetings will be accessible on both desktop and mobile devices. In order to participate remotely

you will need to either:

Shareholders will be able to view the presentations, vote on the resolutions to be put to shareholders and

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

proxy to vote for them or send a postal vote, as they otherwise would, by following the instructions on the
