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.

Appointment of proxy

If you are a shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, you are entitled to appoint a proxy or, in the case of a corporate shareholder,

a representative to attend and vote instead of you. This Proxy Form may be completed online, mailed, delivered, faxed or scanned and emailed in

accordance with the instructions above. A proxy can be any person of your choice and does not have to be a shareholder of Scott Technology Limited. If

you wish, you can appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy. The Chairman will vote in accordance with your instructions. If you do not name a

person as your proxy but have indicated on this form how you wish to vote, the Chairman of the meeting will vote in accordance with your express

your proxy or representative not to vote on that resolution. If you make more than one election in respect of a resolution your vote will be invalid on that

resolution. If you return this form without directing the proxy how to vote on any particular matter, the proxy may vote as he/she thinks fit or abstain from

voting. If you mark more than one box on an item, your box will be invalid on that item.

Attending the meeting

If you wish to vote in person, you should attend the Meeting. Please bring this form with you to the Meeting to assist with your registration. A
