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

• a 'closely related party' of a KMP member means:

spouse, or

» anyone else who is one of the member’s family

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."
