Notice of Meeting 2020
Dear Shareholder
We are pleased to invite you to attend our Annual
Shareholders’ Meeting.
This is a chance for you to hear from myself and our
new Chief Executive Officer, John Kippenberger, on
our performance in FY20 and our progress under our
new ‘Scott 2025’ strategy which was launched in the
second half of the FY20 year.
You will also have the opportunity to discuss any
questions you may have about our Company and its
performance and vote on resolutions.
We acknowledge the importance of allowing our
shareholders to meet with your directors face to
face, but given the uncertainty of the COVID-19
environment are also providing shareholders with the
opportunity to participate in the Meeting online.
Included with this Notice of Meeting are details on
how to attend the Meeting online.
If you are unable to attend the Meeting, we encourage
you to complete and lodge a proxy vote, either online
or by returning your proxy form in accordance with the
instructions on that form.

EXPLANATORY NOTES:
RESOLUTION 1: RE-ELECTION OF STUART MCLAUCHLAN
The NZX Listing Rules require that no director may hold office (without-re-election) past the third annual meeting
following that director’s appointment, or three years, whichever is the longer. However, any such directors may offer
themselves for re-election by shareholder approval in accordance with rule 2.3.
As such, Stuart McLauchlan retires as a director and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election by shareholders. The
Board has determined that Stuart is an Independent Director.
Scott’s Board regularly reviews Board membership, and succession planning takes into account the skills, capabilities,
experience and knowledge required to provide effective oversight of Scott’s strategy and growth. In line with this, four
new directors have been appointed in the last two years. Stuart has overseen the global expansion of Scott Technology
and his in-depth knowledge of the organisation and strong governance experience are considered to be of considerable
value. Therefore, the Board unanimously supports his re-election.
STUART MCLAUCHLAN
BCom, FCA, CFInstD
Term of Office: Appointed 2007
Board Responsibilities: Chairman, Independent Director, Member of the Audit & Financial Risk Committee, chair of the
Health & Safety Committee, the Governance, Renumeration & Nominations Committee and the Treasury Committee.
Stuart is a Senior Partner of GS McLauchlan & Co Business Advisors and Accountants, a prominent businessman and
company director. He is a director of EBOS Group and Argosy Property and holds governance roles with a number of
private companies. He is also a past President of the New Zealand Institute of Directors.
RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Under the NZX Listing Rules, a director appointed by the Board must not hold office (without re-election) past the first
annual meeting following appointment. Accordingly, John Kippenberger and Alan Byers are standing for election by
shareholders at the Meeting. The Board unanimously supports the election of John and Alan.
JOHN KIPPENBERGER
BBS, MBA
Term of Office: Appointed 2020
Board Responsibilities: Executive Director, Member of the Treasury Committee and the Health & Safety Committee.
John is an experienced business leader who has a successful career as CEO of a number of international business-to-
business and consumer branded companies. This has included time in Australia as CEO of several industrial companies
of George Weston Foods Limited before leading their large meat & dairy organisation which included 1,200 people
operating across seven factories.
After returning to New Zealand in 2006, John was a part-owner and the Chief Executive of Premier Beehive NZ Limited.
More recently, John led the exponential growth and development of Manuka Health NZ Limited. This included
expansion of the company’s agricultural and factory operations, along with an acquisition in Germany and the opening
of company operations in Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom and parts of South East Asia and China.
The Board has determined that John is not an Independent Director for the purposes of the Listing Rules, as he is Chief
Executive Officer of Scott Technology.
ALAN BYERS
BCom, MBA
Term of Office: Appointed 2020
Board Responsibilities: Non-executive Director, Member of the Health & Safety Committee
Alan was most recently the President of US Regional Beef, retiring from that position after 43 years in the industry.
Alan is now serving as a Senior Advisor to Andre Nogueira and the collective JBS US business. Prior to joining JBS USA,
Alan held a number of senior executive roles, including CEO / President of Meyer Natural Foods, President of ConAgra
Signature Meats, and 18 years with Hormel culminating in an assignment as President of Dubuque Foods.
The Board has determined that Alan is not an Independent Director for the purposes of the Listing Rules as he
represents Scott Technology Limited’s majority shareholder, JBS Australia Pty Ltd.
RESOLUTION 4: FIX THE REMUNERATION OF THE AUDITOR
Pursuant to section 207T of the Companies Act 1993, Deloitte is automatically reappointed at the Annual Meeting as
auditor of the Company. The resolution authorises the Board to fix the remuneration of Deloitte as the Company’s
auditor.
