Explanatory Notes
The explanatory notes should provide the following additional information in respect of the above
resolutions:
RESOLUTION 1: Re-election of Nicholas Paul
Background
In accordance with Rule 2.7.1 of the Listing Rules, a director may not hold office, without being re-
elected, past the third annual meeting after his or her appointment or re-election, or for three years,
whichever is the longer. Mr Paul was last re-elected in 2017.
Details of Mr Paul’s working experience is provided below.
Nicholas Paul – Non-executive Director
Appointed to the board on 1
st
December 2015.
Nicholas Paul is a non-Executive Director of the Company. Nick has extensive sales and sales channel
management experience in both the NZ and International markets in which Enprise and its
subsidiaries operate. Nick was previously CEO of Leading Edge Communications, Sparks' largest
independent dealer partner. Nick has been the acting CEO of iSell Pty Limited since March 2020.
No other nominations for directors were received from shareholders.
The Board with Nicholas Paul abstaining, unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour
of the re-election of Nicholas Paul as a director of the Company.
RESOLUTION 2: Authority to fix Auditor’s fees and expenses
Background
The Board appointed RSM Hayes Audit to complete the audit for the financial years 2020.
The directors can obtain the authority of the shareholders at the meeting to fix the auditors fees and
expenses in accordance with section 207S of the Companies Act 1993.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 2.
RESOLUTION 3: Replacement of Company constitution
Background
The NZX Listing Rules require the Company to seek shareholder approval to align its constitution with
recent changes to the NZX Listing Rules applying to the NZX Main Board. A copy of the proposed new
constitution will be tabled at the shareholders meeting and a copy is available for download from
https://enprise.com/nz/about-us/enprise-group/stock-exchange-announcements. The key changes
involved are:
• various changes to reflect the new NZX Listing Rules introduced on 1 January 2019 (as updated
form time-to-time and now-dated 3 November 2020), including:
o Directors:
▪ Rules requiring regular retirement and re-election of directors have been
changed as follows:
• Under the previous NZX Listing Rules, one third of the directors, or the
number nearest one third, must retire at the annual meeting in each
year, and are eligible for re-election. The directors to retire are those
who have been longest in office.
• Under the new NZX Listing Ruled, a director may not hold office,
without being re-elected, past the third annual meeting after his or
her appointment or re-election, or for three years, whichever is the
longer (see new Rule 2.7.1).
▪ The previous NZX Listing Rules provided that executive directors were not
required to retire by rotation. That exception has been removed.
o Board composition: including an express statement that Enprise shall comply with the
updated minimum Board composition requirements of the new NZX Listing Rules (see
new Rule 2.1.1).
o Other Changes:
▪ Changes to the definitions in Enprise’s constitution, and various other less
significant wording changes, have been made to reflect the provisions of the
Rules:
▪ References to the NZAX regulations have been removed given that the
Company is no longer listed on that market;
▪ References to the ASX have been included, in case Enprise lists on the ASX in
the future;
▪ The opportunity has also been taken to simplify the form of the constitution
by removing unnecessary repetition of provisions of the Companies Act 1993
with which Enprise must comply.
• If any of the provisions of the updated constitution are inconsistent with the NZX Listing Rules
(as amended by any waiver or ruling granted to Enprise), the NZX Listing Rules will prevail. A
copy of the NZX Listing Rules is available at https://www.nzx.com/regulation/nzx-rules-
guidance/main-board-debt-market-rules.
• The proposed alterations to Enprise’s constitution do not impose or remove a restriction on the
activities of Enprise, and accordingly no rights arise under section 110 of the Companies Act
1993.
• The Company has arranged for a solicitor’s opinion regarding the constitution’s compliance
with the NZX Listing Rules to be provided to NZX Regulation in accordance with Rule 2.19.1.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 3.

The appointment of an alternate Director terminates automatically if the Director

CONSTITUTION OF ENPRISE GROUP LIMITED
FIRST SCHEDULE: CALLS, FORFEITURE AND LIENS
INTERPRETATION
1 Construction
Unless stated otherwise, references to clauses are references to clauses in this
Schedule.
CALLS ON SHARES
2 Shareholders must pay calls
Every shareholder on receiving at least 10 working days’ notice specifying the time
or times and the place of payment must pay, in accordance with that notice, the
amount called to be paid in respect of any Shares that shareholder holds. The Board
may revoke or postpone a call, or require a call to be paid by instalments.
3 Call made when Board resolution passed
A call is regarded as having been made at the time when the Board resolution
authorising the call was passed.
4 Joint holders are jointly and severally liable
The joint holders of a Share are jointly and severally liable to pay all calls for that
Share.
5 Unpaid calls will accrue interest
If an amount called is not paid in full at the time specified for payment, the person
from whom the amount is due must pay the Company interest on the amount that
remains unpaid at a rate determined by the Board and calculated from the time
specified for payment until the day of actual payment. Subject to the Rules, the
Board may waive some or all of the payment of that interest.
6 Amounts payable under terms of issue treated as calls
Any amount that becomes payable on issue or at any specified date under this
constitution or under the terms of issue of Shares or under a contract for the issue
of Shares, will be regarded as being a call duly made and payable on the specified
date. If the payment is not made, the relevant provisions of this constitution will
apply as if the amount had become payable by virtue of a call made in accordance
with this constitution.
7 Board may differentiate between shareholders as to calls
On the issue of Shares, the Board may differentiate between shareholders as to the
amount of calls to be paid and the times of payment.
8 Board may accept payment in advance for calls
8.1 Where a shareholder is willing to advance some or all of the money unpaid and
uncalled on any Share of that shareholder, the Board may accept the amount
advanced on the Company’s behalf. The Board may pay interest on that amount at
a rate agreed between the Board and that shareholder for the period between the
date that the amount is accepted and the date that the amount becomes payable
pursuant to a call or the date specified for its payment.
CONSTITUTION OF ENPRISE GROUP LIMITED
8.2 The Board may at any time repay to any shareholder the whole or any portion of
any money so advanced upon giving that holder at least 10 working days’ notice in
writing and as from the date of such repayment interest (if any) shall cease to
accrue on the money so repaid.
8.3 A shareholder is not entitled as of right to any payment of interest on any amount so
paid in advance and the Board may decline to pay any interest. Any amount so paid
in advance must not be taken into account in ascertaining the amount of any
dividend or other distribution payable upon the Shares concerned.
FORFEITURE OF SHARES
9 Board may by notice require forfeiture of Shares if calls unpaid
The Board may during the time that a call, instalment, or other amount remains
unpaid on a Share, serve a notice on the holder of that Share requiring payment of
the unpaid call, instalment, or other amount, together with any accrued interest and
any expenses incurred by the Company by reason of non-payment.
10 Notice of forfeiture must satisfy certain requirements
The notice served on a shareholder under clause 9 must specify a date not earlier
than 10 working days after the date the notice is served by which the payment is to
be made. The notice must also state that in the event of non-payment by the
appointed time, the Shares to which the call, instalment, or other amount relates,
will be liable to be forfeited by the shareholder.
11 Failure to comply with notice may lead to forfeiture
Where a valid notice under clause 9 is served on a shareholder and the shareholder
fails to comply with the notice, then the Board may resolve that any Share for which
that notice was given and all distributions authorised and not paid before the notice
was served be forfeited.
12 Board may deal with forfeited Share
A forfeited Share may be sold or otherwise disposed of on such terms and in such
manner as the Board thinks fit. However, the Board may cancel the forfeiture at
any time before the sale or other disposition on such terms as the Board thinks fit if
the call, instalment or other amount which remains unpaid on the Share is paid.
13 Shareholder whose Shares are forfeited loses rights
A person whose Shares have been forfeited immediately ceases to be a shareholder
in respect of those Shares notwithstanding any other provision of this constitution,
and remains liable to pay the unpaid amount that the shareholder owes the
Company, but that liability shall cease if the Company receives payment in full of all
money owing for those Shares.
14 Evidence of forfeiture
A certificate signed by a Director that a Share has been duly forfeited on a stated
date is conclusive evidence of the facts stated in that certificate.
CONSTITUTION OF ENPRISE GROUP LIMITED
15 Company may sell forfeited Share
The Company may receive the consideration, if any, given for a forfeited Share
following a sale or disposition, and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of
the person to whom the Share is sold or disposed of, and register that person as the
holder of the Share. That person is not bound to see to the application of the
purchase money, if any, nor is the title to the Share affected by any irregularity or
invalidity in the procedures under this constitution in respect of the forfeiture, sale
or disposal of that Share. Any residue after satisfaction of unpaid calls, instalments,
premiums or other amounts and interest, and expenses, shall be paid to the
previous holder, or to his or her executors, administrators or assigns.
LIEN ON SHARES
16 Company’s lien
The Company has a lien, ranking in priority over all other equities, on:
16.1 all Shares registered in the name of a shareholder; and
16.2 all dividends authorised in respect of such Shares; and
16.3 the proceeds of sale of such Shares,
for:
16.4 unpaid calls and instalments payable in respect of any such Shares; and
16.5 interest on any such calls or instalments; and
16.6 sale expenses owing to the Company in respect of any such Shares; and
16.7 any amounts that the Company may be called on to pay under any statute,
regulation, ordinance or other legislation in respect of the Shares of that
shareholder, whether the period for payment has arrived or not.
17 Waiver of lien
Registration of a transfer of Shares on which the Company has any lien will operate
as a waiver of the lien, unless the Company gives notice to the contrary to the
transferee prior to registration.
18 Company may sell Share on which it has a lien
The Company may sell a Share on which it has a lien in such manner as the Board
thinks fit, where:
18.1 the lien on the Share is for a sum which is presently payable; and
18.2 the registered holder of the Share, or the person entitled to it on his or her
death or bankruptcy, has failed to pay that sum within 10 working days after
the Company has served that registered holder written notice demanding
payment of that sum.
CONSTITUTION OF ENPRISE GROUP LIMITED
19 Company may transfer Share and apply proceeds
19.1 The Company may receive the consideration given for a Share sold under clause 18,
and may execute a transfer of the Share in favour of the person to whom the Share
is sold, and register that person as the holder of the Share discharged from all calls
due prior to the purchase.
19.2 The purchaser is not bound to see to the application of the purchase money, and the
purchaser’s title to the Share is not affected by any irregularity or invalidity in the
proceedings relating to the sale. The remedy of any person aggrieved by the sale
shall be in damages only and against the Company exclusively.
19.3 The Company must apply the sale proceeds in payment of the sum presently
payable on the lien, and the balance, if any, shall (subject to a like lien for sums not
presently payable that existed upon the Share before the sale) be paid to the person
who held the Share immediately before the date of sale or to his or her executors,
administrators or assigns.
