Procedural Notes
and Other Information
1. VIRTUAL MEETING
This year, while not Genesis Energy’s
preferred option, the Company has
chosen to hold its Annual Shareholder
Meeting online only. The key reasons
for this decision are the uncertainty of
the status of the COVID-19 pandemic
(particularly in relation to meeting size
and domestic travel) and potential risks
to the health of meeting attendees.
All shareholders are able to attend and
participate in the Annual Shareholder
Meeting online via an internet
connection using a computer, laptop,
tablet or smartphone.
Details of how to attend and participate
in the Annual Shareholder Meeting are
set out in Section 7 below.
2. PERSONS ENTITLED TO VOTE
Voting entitlements will be determined at
the close of trading on Friday 25 September
2020. Registered shareholders at that time
will be the only persons entitled to vote at
the Annual Shareholder Meeting and only
the shares registered in those shareholders’
names at that time may be voted at the
meeting.
3. VOTING
Voting on the resolution to be put before
the Annual Shareholder Meeting will
be conducted by way of poll on the
online platform web.lumiagm.com. As
a shareholder you may cast your vote in
one of two ways:
(a) You may participate virtually and
vote at the meeting online via the
online platform web.lumiagm.com;
or
(b) you may appoint a proxy or (in the
case of a corporate shareholder)
a representative to participate
virtually and vote at the meeting in
your place via the online platform
web.lumiagm.com.
In order for you (or your proxy on
your behalf) to vote, you (or they)
will be required to enter your CSN

Voting Form, which is enclosed with this
Notice of Meeting, or lodge your proxy
preference online at www.investorvote.
co.nz (see below for further details). A
proxy need not be a shareholder of the
Company.
If your proxy is not the Chairman of the
meeting or a Director of Genesis Energy,
please ensure that you provide their
contact details in the space provided on
the Proxy Voting Form.
Proxy Voting Forms must be returned
to the office of the Company’s share

A corporation may appoint a person to
attend the meeting as its representative
in the same manner as it may appoint a
p r o x y.
If you appoint a proxy, you may either
direct your proxy how to vote for you
or you may give your proxy discretion
to vote as he or she sees fit. If you wish
to give your proxy discretion, then you
must mark the appropriate box on the
Proxy Voting Form. If you do not tick any
box for the resolution then your proxy
may vote as they choose, as if you had
selected ‘Proxy Discretion’.
The Chairman of the meeting, or any
other Director, is willing to act as a
proxy on behalf of shareholders who
wish to appoint them for that purpose.
If, in appointing your proxy, you do not
name a person to be your proxy, the
Chairman of the meeting will be your
proxy and will vote in accordance with
your express directions. If additional
matters are raised during the course
of the Annual Shareholder Meeting
which require a shareholder vote, your
proxy will be entitled to vote on these
additional matters as he or she thinks
fit. The Chairman of the meeting and
Directors who act as proxies on behalf
of shareholders intend to vote any proxy

discretion in favour of the resolution,
except Doug McKay will abstain from
voting any discretionary proxies given
to him as they would relate to his own
re-election.
5. ORDINARY RESOLUTION
The resolution to re-elect Doug McKay
as a Director of the Company will
be passed if approved by ordinary
resolution at the Annual Shareholder
Meeting. An ordinary resolution is a
resolution approved by a simple majority
of the votes of those shareholders
entitled to vote and voting on the
resolution (including by proxy or
representative).
