Proxies and Voting
The persons who will be entitled to vote on the resolutions at the meeting are those persons who will be the
shareholders of the Company at 5.00pm on Tuesday, 27 October 2020. Any shareholder who is entitled to
attend and vote at the meeting may appoint a proxy instead to attend and vote on their behalf. Shareholders
entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may cast a postal or online vote instead of attending in person or
by proxy. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. The Chair of the Company is willing to act
as proxy for any shareholder who may wish to appoint her for that purpose. The Chair intends to vote any
undirected proxies in favour of the resolutions.
If you wish to appoint a proxy, please review the enclosed proxy form which provides information for you to
complete the form online, by mail or by fax. If you wish to cast a postal vote or vote online, please review the
enclosed proxy form which provides information for you to complete the form online, by mail or by fax.
For your vote or proxy appointment to be effective, it must be received by 2.30pm on Tuesday 27 October
(being not less than 48 hours before the time of holding the meeting). Graham Leaming, CFO, has been
authorised by the Board to receive and count postal and online votes at the meeting.
Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 are ordinary resolutions, requiring a simple majority of the votes of those shareholders
entitled to vote and voting.

Explanatory Notes
The NZX Listing Rules prohibit a director from holding office (without re-election) for longer than three
years or three annual meetings, whichever is longer. If a director is eligible, he or she may offer himself or
herself for re-election by shareholders at the meeting.
Resolution 1: Re-election of David Cushing
David was first appointed to the Board in August 2017 and then elected by shareholders at the 2017 Annual
Meeting and therefore is to retire in accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1. Being eligible, David offers
himself for election as an independent, non-executive director of the Company. For the purposes of the NZX
Listing Rules, the Board has determined that David Cushing is an independent director.
David Cushing is a former investment banker with over 20 years’ experience as a director of listed companies.
David has expertise across a broad range of industries having previously been a director of Fruitfed Supplies
Limited, Williams & Kettle Limited, Tourism Holdings Limited, Acurity Health Group Limited and NPT Limited.
David is currently Executive Chairman of Rural Equities Limited and Managing Director of private investment
company H&G Limited. He is also a director of PGG Wrightson Limited.
Resolution 2: Election of Paul Shearer
In accordance with clause 26.2 of the Company’s Constitution, Paul Shearer was appointed as Director
by the Board on 21 August 2020. Paul Shearer is required to retire in accordance with clause 26.2 of the
Company’s Constitution and NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1. Being eligible, Paul Shearer offers himself for election
as an independent, non-executive director of the Company. For the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules, the
Board has determined that Paul Shearer is an independent director.
Paul is Senior Vice President – Sales & Marketing for Fisher & Paykel Healthcare (FPH). Paul has a global
business experience spanning 30 years with proven success growing international markets and leading
multi-disciplinary teams across 40 countries. Paul’s experience and skill is invaluable to Skellerup with our
continued focus on international markets.
Resolution 3: Remuneration of auditors
The current auditors of the Company, Ernst & Young, will be automatically reappointed as the Company’s
auditor under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. Under section 207S of the Companies Act 1993
auditors’ fees and expenses must be fixed in the manner determined at the meeting. Shareholder approval
is therefore sought for the Board to fix Ernst & Young’s remuneration for the following year.
Note
Refreshments will be served at the conclusion of the meeting.
