the Meeting to vote on your behalf as proxy, and you do not
mark any of the boxes so as to give the Chair directions
about how your vote should be cast, then, in accordance
with the express authority provided for in the voting form,
the Chair will vote in favour of all resolutions, including
Resolution 1 even though it is directly or indirectly
connected with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.
If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your
proxy, and you wish to direct her how to vote, please tick
the appropriate box on the form.
If you appoint as your proxy any director of Michael Hill,
except the Chair of the Meeting, or any other KMP or any
of their closely related parties and you do not direct your
proxy how to vote on Resolution 1, he or she will not vote
your proxy on that item of business.
Power of Attorney
If a shareholder has appointed an attorney to attend and
vote at the Meeting or if the proxy form is signed by an
attorney, the power of attorney must, unless it has
previously been lodged with Computershare for notation,
be received by the Company's share registry by no later
than 10am on Sunday 25 October 2020.
Voting restrictions
The Corporations Act and the ASX Listing Rules require
that certain persons must not vote in particular ways, and
the Company must disregard particular votes cast by or on
behalf of certain persons, on certain resolutions to be
considered at the Meeting. These voting exclusions are
described below.
Resolution 1 – Remuneration Report
Votes may not be cast, and the Company will disregard any
votes cast, on Resolution 1:
• by or on behalf of any KMP member whose
remuneration details are included in the
Remuneration Report, or any of their closely related
parties, regardless of the capacity in which the votes
are cast, or
• by any person who is a KMP member as at the time
the resolution is voted on at the Meeting, or any of
their closely related parties, as a proxy,
unless the votes are cast as a proxy for a person who is
entitled to vote on the resolution:
• in accordance with a direction in the proxy
appointment, or
• by the Chair of the Meeting in accordance with an
express authorisation in the proxy appointment to cast
the votes even if the resolution is connected directly
or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP member.
For the purposes of these voting exclusions:
• the 'KMP' (or key management personnel) are those
persons having authority and responsibility for
planning, directing and controlling the activities of the
Company's consolidated group, either directly or
indirectly. This includes all Directors (executive and
non-executive) and select members of the Company’s
Group Executive. The KMP for the Company's
consolidated group during the year ended 28 June
2020 are listed in the Remuneration Report contained
in the Company's 2020 Annual Report

and may be expected to influence the member,
or be influenced by the member, in the
member’s dealings with the entity, or
» a company the member controls.
The Company will also apply these voting exclusions to
persons appointed as attorney by a shareholder to attend
and vote at the Meeting under a power of attorney, as if
they were appointed as a proxy.
Explanatory Notes
Item 2: Financial Statements and Reports
The Corporations Act requires the Financial Report and the
reports of the Directors and the Auditor be laid before the
Meeting. Shareholders will be given a reasonable
opportunity to raise questions and make comments on these
reports at the Meeting.
The Company’s Auditor will be present at the Meeting to
answer questions regarding the audit and the Auditor’s
Report.
There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this item.
Item 3: Remuneration Report (Resolution 1)
Shareholders are asked to adopt the Company’s
Remuneration Report for the year ended 28 June 2020. The
Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report
section of the Company’s 2020 Annual Report.
The Company’s remuneration strategy is to align
shareholder value with executive reward. The Company’s
remuneration framework aims to attract, motivate and retain
talent, reward achievement of strategic objectives and
create a reward differentiation to drive performance values
and behaviours.
The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind
the Directors or the Company. However, a reasonable
opportunity for discussion of the Remuneration Report will
be provided at the Meeting. The Board will take into account
the discussion on this resolution and the outcome of the
vote when considering the future remuneration
arrangements of the Company.
Recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR
Resolution 1.
Item 4: Election and re-election of Directors
(Resolutions 2 & 3)
Rules 38.1 and 38.6 of the Company’s Constitution requires
a minimum of one director to retire by rotation at the
Meeting, and that a director must not hold office without
re-election past the third Annual General Meeting following
that director’s appointment or three years, whichever is
longer. Robert Fyfe has held office as a director without
re-election since the Company’s Annual General Meeting in
2017, and will retire and offer himself for re-election by
shareholders at the Meeting.
Rule 36.2 of the Company’s Constitution requires a director
who is appointed by the Board to retire at the next Annual
General Meeting following their appointment. Jacqueline
Naylor was appointed as a director in the period since the
2019 Annual General Meeting, and will retire and offer
herself for election by shareholders at the Meeting.
Profiles of the Directors are as follows:
Robert Fyfe
Independent non-executive director
• Member of the Board since 9 June 2016
• Chair, People Development & Remuneration
Committee
• Member, Audit & Risk Management Committee
Rob served as CEO of Air New Zealand between 2005 and
2012, a period that saw a resurgence in Air New Zealand to
become one of the most recognised and awarded airlines in
the world and one of the best performers in a tough industry.
Prior to Air New Zealand, Rob had gained extensive general
management experience in various retail businesses
operating in New Zealand, Australia and Great Britain.
Rob is also an independent non-executive director of Air
Canada.
Jacqueline Naylor
Independent non-executive director
• Member of the Board since 15 July 2020
• Member, Audit & Risk Management Committee
Jacqueline is a highly regarded Australian retail leader with
over thirty years’ executive and board experience in retail,
fashion and eCommerce. She is currently an independent
non-executive director of Myer and Cambridge Clothing and
was previously a director of PAS Group, Macpac and the
Virgin Australia Melbourne Fashion Festival. This follows an
extensive career as a retail executive (and later an
Executive Director) at the Just Group, where Jacqueline
oversaw merchandising, marketing and brand strategies
across a portfolio of 800 stores.
Recommendation
The Board (other than the Director who is the subject of the
relevant resolution) considers Robert Fyfe and Jacqueline
Naylor as independent directors, and recommends that
shareholders vote FOR Resolution 2 and Resolution 3.
Item 5: Amendments to the Constitution (Resolution 4)
Shareholders will note that there has been a significant
amount of discussion around the technological evolution of
shareholder meetings. The Corporations Act was
temporarily modified in 2020 by the Corporations
(Coronavirus Economic Response) Determination (No. 1)
2020, which has enabled the Company to hold the Meeting
in an entirely virtual format and improve the opportunity for
shareholder attendance and participation in the Meeting
using technology.
The Company has recently undertaken a review of its
Constitution and proposes a number of modifications to
reflect developments in or accord with the prevailing market
practices, requirements of the Corporations Act and ASX
Listing Rules, and matters of a drafting or technical nature.
The key amendments proposed are designed to enable the
Company to embrace technology to efficiently and flexibly
administer general meetings going forward while
encouraging shareholder participation. In this regard,
broadly the changes are:
•to allow and facilitate virtual meetings (subject to
applicable laws)
•to provide greater clarity around the procedures that
can be used to conduct and participate in and vote at
virtual or hybrid meetings
•to allow direct voting
•to confirm that virtual attendees at virtual and hybrid
meetings are deemed in attendance (for quorum and
other purposes).
The Company also proposes a technical amendment to
Rule 81 regarding restricted securities so that it is consistent
with the ASX Listing Rules as amended on 1 December
2019, and a minor drafting change to reflect the current
name of the Company.
A more detailed summary of the key proposed amendments
is set out below.
A complete copy of the existing Constitution and a copy
showing the proposed amendments can be accessed at the
‘Annual General Meetings’ section of the Investor Centre
website at investor.michaelhill.com.
Under section 136(2) of the Corporations Act, amendments
to the Constitution may only be made by special resolution
of shareholders.
Recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR
Resolution 4.
Summary of key proposed Constitution amendments
Use of technology at general meetings (Rule 21A and
Rule 22)
The coronavirus pandemic has highlighted the need for
companies to be agile and able to cater for changing times
and unexpected circumstances.
Going forward the Company seeks to ensure that its
Constitution affords it maximum flexibility (subject to the
prevailing applicable laws) to hold hybrid or virtual general
meetings; to utilise technology to efficiently administer, and
allow shareholder participation in, general meetings.
The Company is proposing to include the following new
Rule 21A (and delete unnecessary duplication from existing
Rule 22) dealing with the use of technology and clarifying
that a shareholder will be counted for quorum purposes
where they attend a general meeting via technology.
"21A. Use of t echnology at Meetings
21.8 The Company may hold a Meeting at two or more
venues or at such other place or places as may be
determined by
the Directors using any form of technology
which gives the Members as a whole a reasonable
opportunity to participate. Subject to applicable law, the
place or any place of the Meeting does
not need to be a
physical location and may be a virtual or online location.
21.9 If the place or a place of the Meeting is determined
by the Directors not to be a physical location and is
facilitated by an instantaneous communication device
which, by itself or in conjunction with other arrangements:
(a)gives the general body of Members a reasonable
opportunity to participate in the business of the Meeting;
and
(b)enables the Members to vote on a show of hands, on a
poll or by Direct Vote,
a Member present at the place is taken to be present at the
Meeting and entitled to exercise all rights of a Member
Present.
21.10 If a separate meeting place is linked to the main
place of the Meeting by an instantaneous communication
device which, by itself or in conjunction with other
arrangements:
(a)gives the general body of Members a reasonable
opportunity to participate in the business of the Meeting;
and
(b)enables the Members to vote on a show of hands, on a
poll or by Direct Vote,
a Member present at the place is taken to be present at the
Meeting and entitled to exercise all rights as if he or she
was present at the main place.
21.11 If, before or during any Meeting of Members, any
technical difficulty occurs where all Members may not be
able to participate, the Chairman may, subject to the
Corporations Act and this Constitution:
(a)adjourn the Meeting either for such reasonable period
as may be required to fix the technology or to such other
time and place as the Chairman deems appropriate; or
(b)allow the Meeting to continue."
Change of meeting place (Rule 25.7)
Similarly, the Company wishes to ensure the Constitution
affords it the flexibility to change the place of the meeting
(for example, to an online location) where circumstances
arise after the meeting has been convened making the
existing place inappropriate. The Company proposes the
following new Rule 25.7 to cater for this.
25. Adjournments and postponements of Meetings
...
"25.7 The Directors may, by notice given in accordance
with this Rule change the place of a Meeting if it considers
(acting reasonably) that the place would be unreasonable or
impractical, a change is necessary in the interests of
conducting the Meeting efficiently, or it is otherwise in the
interests of Members to do so, provided that:
(a)a Meeting which is called in accordance with a
member's requisition under the Corporations Act; or
(b)any other Meeting which is not called by the Directors,
may not be changed without the prior written consent of the
person or persons who called or requisitioned the Meeting.
Notice of the change of place of a Meeting must state the
reason for the change of place and:
(c)while the Company is Listed, be given to the Exchange
and/or NZX (as applicable); and
(d)subject to the Corporations Act and the Listing Rules, be
given in any other manner determined by the Directors
."
Direct voting (Rule 26A)
The Company is proposing amendments to allow for 'direct
voting' at general meetings, where permitted by, and in
accordance with the rules and procedures prescribed by the
Directors. In broad terms, direct voting allows shareholders
to deliver votes in non-traditional methods, including voting
by electronic means.
The Company is proposing to include the following new
'Rule 26A Direct Voting' and definition of 'Direct Vote' (along
with minor drafting changes throughout the Constitution for
consistency).
"26A. Direct Voting
26.10 The Board may, subject to law, determine that, at
any Meeting of Members or a class of Members, a Member
who is entitled to attend and vote at that Meeting is entitled
to give their vote by Direct Vote.
26.11 The Board may, subject to this Constitution,
prescribe regulations, rules and procedures in relation to the
giving of Direct Votes (including specifying the form, method
and timing of giving a Direct Vote at or for the purposes of a
meeting in order for the vote to be valid) and for revoking a
Direct Vote. Without limitation, such regulations, rules and
procedures may permit a Member to give a Direct Vote prior
to the relevant Meeting. The Board must specify in the
notice of meeting, or in any document accompanying the
notice of meeting or otherwise made available to Members
for the purpose of the meeting, the form, method and timing
of giving a Direct Vote in order for the Direct Vote to be
valid.
26.12 If sent by post or fax, a Direct Vote must be signed
by the Member or properly authorised attorney or, if the
Member is a company, either under seal or by a duly
authorised officer or attorney.
26.13 If sent or lodged electronically, a Direct Vote is taken
to have been signed if it has been signed or authorised by
the Member in the manner approved by the Board or
specified in the notice of meeting.
26.14 At least 48 hours (or any shorter period as the Board
may permit or specified by the Corporations Act) before the
time for holding the relevant Meeting, adjourned meeting or
a poll at which a person proposes to cast a notice of their
voting intention, the Company must receive at its registered
office or at such other electronic address or by such other
electronic means specified for that purpose in the notice of
meeting:
(a) the Direct Vote; and
(b) if relevant, any authority or power under which the
Direct Vote was signed or a certified copy of that power or
authority if not already lodged with the company.
26.15 A notice of voting intention is valid if it contains the
following information:
(a) the Member's name and address or any applicable
identifying notations such as the holder identification
number or similar approved by the Board or specified in the
notice of meeting; and
(b) the Member's voting intention on any or all of the
resolutions to be put before the Meeting, in respect of which
Meeting a determination has been made by the Board in
accordance with Rule 26.10."
"Direct Vote means a notice of a Member's voting intention
delivered to the Company by post, fax, electronic or other
means approved by the Board and otherwise in accordance
with this Constitution and regulations, rules and procedures
made by the Board in accordance with Rule 26A."
Restricted securities (Rule 81)
On 1 December 2019 the ASX Listing Rules were amended.
Relevantly, ASX Listing Rule 15.12 ('LR 15.12') was
changed and contains new requirements which are required
to be reflected in listed entities' constitutions in respect of
restricted securities.
The new LR 15.12 will apply to the Company if it issues
restricted securities in the future. The Company presently
does not have any restricted securities on issue and has no
current intention to issue restricted securities.
As such, although the new LR 15.12 does not currently
affect the Company, it is taking the prudent approach to use
the opportunity at this Meeting to amend its Constitution so
that it is consistent with the amended LR 15.12.
Consequently, the Company is proposing to delete existing
'Rule 81 Restricted Securities' and replace with the following
new Rule 81 which directly aligns with the language in LR
15.12.
"81. Restricted Securities
81.1 The Company shall comply in all respects with the
requirements of the Listing Rules with respect to Restricted
Securities. Without limiting the generality of the above:
(a) a holder of Restricted Securities must not
dispose of, or agree or offer to dispose of,
the securities during the escrow period
applicable to those securities except as
permitted by the Listing Rules of the
Exchange or the Exchange;
(b) if the Restricted Securities are in the same
class as quoted securities, the holder will be
taken to have agreed in writing that the
Restricted Securities are to be kept on the
Company's issuer sponsored sub register
and are to have a holding lock applied for
the duration of the escrow period applicable
to those securities;
(c) the Company will refuse to acknowledge
any disposal (including, without limitation, to
register any transfer) of Restricted
Securities during the escrow period
applicable to those securities except as
permitted by the Listing Rules of the
Exchange or the Exchange; and
(d) a holder of Restricted Securities will not be
entitled to participate in any return of capital
on those securities during the escrow
period applicable to those securities except
as permitted by the Listing Rules of the
Exchange or the Exchange; and
(e) if a holder of Restricted Securities breaches
a restriction deed or a provision of the
Company's Constitution restricting a
disposal of those securities, the holder will
not be entitled to any Dividend or
distribution, or to exercise any voting rights,
in respect of those securities for so long as
the breach continues."
