2020 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting update and status as essential service


Auckland, New Zealand, 12 August 2020 – Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Corporation Limited

published a notice of meeting on 17 July 2020 in relation to its Annual Shareholders’ Meeting to be

held on Friday, 21 August 2020 at 2:00pm NZST.


Today the company advises that it will no longer offer the ability for shareholders to attend the

Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in person due to current concerns related to COVID-19 in Auckland

and potential risks to the health of meeting attendees. Shareholders will only be able to

participate online. This possibility was signalled in the notice of meeting.


Status as essential service

Following the announcement by New Zealand’s Prime Minister that the COVID-19 alert status

would be raised to Level 3 in Auckland today, the company advises that it is designated an

“essential service” and continues to manufacture and supply respiratory products from its Auckland

facilities. The company continued to operate effectively during March and April this year under

more restrictive lockdown criteria (Level 4).
