Procedural Notes
For shareholders who cannot attend the Annual Meeting, the Company will be webcasting the meeting online.

Refer page 5 for further information.

Persons Entitled to Vote

The persons who will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting are those persons registered as holding ordinary

shares on the Company’s share register at 5:00pm on Monday, 14 December 2020.

No shareholder is restricted from voting on Resolutions 1 to 3 under the NZX Listing Rules.

Ordinary Resolutions (Resolutions 1, 2, and 3)

Each of Resolutions 1, 2 and 3 is an ordinary resolution. In order for an ordinary resolution to be passed, it must

be approved by a simple majority of the votes of those shareholders entitled to vote and voting on the resolution.

Proxy / Postal Voting

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting is entitled to:

• appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of the shareholder; or

• cast a postal vote instead of attending in person or appointing a proxy.

A Proxy/Voting Form is enclosed with this Notice of Annual Meeting. To be effective, the Proxy/Voting Form must be

deposited with the Company in accordance with the instructions on the form not later than 2pm, 14 December 2020.

A shareholder may appoint “The Chair of the Meeting” as Proxy. Where a direction is not given to the Chairperson as

to how to cast the vote on any Resolution, then the Chairperson intends to vote in favour of the Resolution. If, in

appointing a proxy (i.e. you mark any of the PROXY DISCRETION boxes or the YES box in Step 1 of the Voting Form),

you inadvertently do not name someone to be your proxy in Step 2 of the Voting Form, or your named proxy does not

attend the meeting (either in person or virtually), the Chair of the meeting will be your proxy and will vote in

accordance with your express direction.

A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A corporation may appoint a person to attend the meeting as its

representative in the same manner as that in which it may appoint a proxy.

Explanatory Notes
Explanatory note 1 – Approval of appointment of director (Resolution 1)

In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, any director appointed by the Board during the year must retire from

office at the next annual meeting but is eligible for election at that meeting. Fiona Mackenzie, being a director

who was appointed by the Board during the year, retires from office. Being eligible, Fiona Mackenzie has offered

herself for election.

The Board considers that Fiona Mackenzie will be an independent director for the purposes of the NZX Listing

Rules if elected to the Board.

Fiona Mackenzie is Head of Direct Wealth for Jarden (formerly First NZ Capital), which includes responsibility for

the Direct Broking platform, designed to empower Kiwi investors to take charge of their financial future by

investing for themselves. Before joining Jarden, Fiona was Head of External Investments and Partnerships at the

Guardians of New Zealand Superannuation fund from 2011 to 2017, overseeing a $6 billion portfolio and chairing

the investment committee. She was Head of Traded Products, and later Head of Markets at NZX from 2009 to

2011. She previously held roles in Morgan Stanley’s institutional equities sales division in New York and San

Francisco; and worked in e-commerce product development at Credit Suisse in New York. Fiona holds an MBA

from Columbia Graduate School of Business (New York), a BCom (Accounting) / LLB from the University of Otago

and is a NZ Chartered Accountant (CA). She is also a trustee for the Outward Bound Foundation. She loves to

travel, these days accompanied by partner and two children, who she has already introduced to the power of

investing via their Kiwisaver funds.

The Board unanimously supports the election of Fiona Mackenzie and recommends that shareholders vote in

favour of Resolution 1.

Explanatory note 2 – Re-election of director (Resolution 2)

In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, a director must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual

meeting following that director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

Accordingly, Peter Goodfellow is required to retire (having held office since 2017 as a non-independent director of the

Company). Being eligible, Peter Goodfellow has offered himself for re-election.

Peter has degrees in Commerce and Law from Auckland University as well as an MBA from the University of California,

in Los Angeles. He is Chairman of trade finance and factoring company Lock Finance Limited, director of Zagga Limited

as well as other private investment companies, including Avalon Investment Trust Limited (a shareholder in Sanford).

Peter is a trustee of the Auckland Medical Research Foundation and St Andrew’s Village in Glendowie. He has previously

practiced law and for some years was a director and Chairman of former listed radio company XS Corporation Limited.

The Board considers that Peter Goodfellow will not be an independent director for the purposes of the NZX Listing

Rules, if elected to the Board, because he has served on the Board since 2006, and is associated with a significant

shareholder of the Company (Amalgamated Dairies Limited).

Peter Goodfellow has advised the Company that he will remain on the Board until the 2021 Annual Meeting of

Shareholders.

The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Peter Goodfellow and recommends that shareholders vote in favour

of Resolution 2.

Explanatory note 3 – Fixing of auditor’s fees and expenses (Resolution 3)

KPMG is automatically re-appointed as auditor under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. Resolution 3 authorises

the Board to fix the fees and expenses of the auditor.

Covid-19

As the safety of our team and shareholders is our number one priority, Sanford has made the decision that the

in-person element of the Annual Meeting will only go ahead if Auckland is at COVID-19 Alert Level 1 on

16 December 2020. Should Auckland be at COVID-19 Alert Level 2 or above on 16 December 2020, the Annual Meeting

will move to being a virtual meeting only. If this occurs, Sanford will provide shareholders with as much notice as is

reasonably practicable via the NZX and the Virtual Meeting details below will be the exclusive means of attendance.

As a shareholder entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting you are entitled to vote

by postal vote. The Company’s share registrar, Computershare Investor Services

the Annual Meeting.

(2) Appointing a proxy

As a shareholder entitled to 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, if you have not cast a postal vote, vote on your behalf. A proxy need

not be a shareholder.

If you mark any of the PROXY DISCRETION boxes you must appoint a proxy for

your vote to be counted.

If you cast a postal vote, you may also appoint a proxy to attend the meeting

on your behalf by completing the YES box under the heading “Other Matters”

shareholder who wishes to appoint him for that purpose and intends to vote

proxies marked PROXY DISCRETION in favour of all Resolutions.

relevant sections of ‘Step 1’ and ‘Step 2’ overleaf, signing this Proxy/Voting Form and

returning it to the share registrar in accordance with the instructions above.
