Explanatory Notes
Resolution 1: Fixing the Fees and Expenses of

the Auditor

Deloitte are currently Serko’s auditors and will be

automatically reappointed under the Companies Act 1993 to

act as auditor for the 2021 financial year. Under the Companies

Act, auditor fees and expenses must be fixed in the manner

determined at the Annual Meeting. Shareholder approval is,

therefore, sought to authorise the Board to fix the fees and

expenses of Deloitte as auditor.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Claudia Batten as

a Director

Claudia Batten was first appointed as a director of Serko

in April 2014 and was last re-elected in August 2017. She is

currently Interim Chair of the Serko Board and chairs the

Remuneration and Nominations Committee.

In accordance with the applicable NZX Listing Rules, Claudia

retires by rotation and offers herself for re-election as a

director of Serko at the meeting. The Board unanimously

supports Claudia’s re-election and considers that she

qualifies as an independent director under the applicable

NZX Listing Rules.

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Serko Limited (“Serko”) will be held online at www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/sko20 on Wednesday, 19 August 2020

‘Proxy Discretion’ box in respect of each resolution. If you do not tick a box you r proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on an item your

vote will be invalid on that item. If you tick the ‘Proxy Discretion’ box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy to decide how t o vote on that

resolution on your behalf. If you tick the ‘Abstain’ box for a particular resolution, you are directing you r proxy not to vote on that resolution. If a proxy does not

vote on your behalf on a resolution, your votes will not be counted when calculating the majority of that resolution.

The Chairman of the meeting or any Director is willing to act as proxy for any shareholder who appoints him/her for that purpose. If you tick the ‘Proxy Discretion’

box, you acknowledge that they may exercise your proxy even if they have an interest in the outcome of that resolution (subject to the NZX listing rules). The
