STOCK EXCHANGE ANNOUNCEMENT
25 August 2020
Closing date for director nominations and ASM date
The period for nomination of directors to Chorus’ Board opens today and closes 5.00pm
New Zealand time on Tuesday 8 September 2020.
Nominations may only be made by a shareholder entitled to attend and vote at Chorus’
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting (ASM) to be held at 10.30am (NZ time) on Friday 6 November
2020. Due to concerns about our ability to conduct the ASM in person with the uncertain
COVID-19 environment and the Alert Levels in place in response and the potential health
risks for shareholders attending we have decided that the ASM will be an on-line only
meeting this year. To facilitate this we have moved the ASM back from originally advised
date of 29 October 2020. Full details of how to attend the virtual ASM will be provided in
our notice of meeting.
Chorus has been granted a waiver from the NZX listing rules relating to restrictions on the
persons who may be appointed as directors. Clause 17.3 of Chorus’ Constitution provides
that no person who is an Associated Person of a person which provides
Telecommunications Services in New Zealand (other than the services provided by Chorus)
shall be appointed or hold office as a director.
Nominations must be accompanied by the consent in writing of the person being
nominated and should contain sufficient information to enable shareholders to make an
informed decision as to whether or not to elect the candidate, including:
• Biographical details, qualifications, experience and the skills the candidate will bring
to the Board; and
• Details of other material directorships held.
Nominations should be sent by email to company.secretary@chorus.co.nz or by post to:
The General Counsel & Company Secretary
