Resolution 3 – Directors’ Remuneration
The Investore Board’s policy is to review Directors’

remuneration every two years, and the last time

remuneration was reviewed was in 2019. Accordingly,

in accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.11.1, it is proposed

that the amount payable to any person who from time to

time holds office as a Director of Investore be increased as

per Table 1 in this Notice of Meeting. If approved, the new

remuneration will take effect from 1 July 2021.

In setting fees, the Board has regard to benchmarking

data of entities similar in size to Investore, Investore’s

Director workloads and responsibilities, and the

company’s performance. The Board engaged Ernst &

Young to provide an independent report on Investore’s

current Directors’ remuneration, utilising its database

of directors’ remuneration in New Zealand. The purpose

of the report was to benchmark the remuneration paid

to Investore’s Directors against an industry peer group

of NZX-listed companies selected on the basis of

comparable market capitalisation.

A summary of the Ernst & Young report is available on the

Investore website (www.investoreproperty.co.nz),

under ‘Annual Shareholder Meeting 2021’. The report

concluded that the fees currently paid to Investore’s

Directors are, on the whole, below the lower quartile of

fees paid across the comparator group, with fees for

Investore’s non-executive Directors aligned with the

lower quartile.

Following this benchmarking process, the Board

proposes an increase in Directors’ remuneration.

The amount of the increase is consistent with the

recommendation of Ernst & Young. While conscious

of the obligation to ensure Directors’ remuneration is

set and managed in a manner which is fair, flexible and

transparent, the Directors believe that it is important

to have a fee structure which will assist Investore in

maintaining the skills and experience at Board level to

govern the business and enhance the long-term value of

the company for its investors.

The Board notes that the Directors’ fees do not include

a pool for additional work and accordingly, Directors

receive no additional remuneration for extra work

undertaken in relation to certain initiatives of Investore,

such as the equity capital raise undertaken in April and

May 2020 or the listed bond issue undertaken in August

2020, each of which involved significant additional

attendances by the Directors as part of due

diligence committees.

Explanatory Notes

Resolution 1 – Auditor’s Remuneration

PwC is the existing auditor of Investore Property

Limited (Investore) and has indicated its

willingness to continue as auditor. Pursuant to

section 207T of the Companies Act 1993,

PwC is automatically re-appointed at the Annual

Shareholder Meeting as auditor of Investore.

Section 207S(a) of the Companies Act 1993

provides that the auditor’s fees and expenses

must be fixed, either by Investore at the Annual

Shareholder Meeting or in the manner that

Investore determines at the Annual Shareholder

Meeting. The proposed resolution, if passed

by shareholders, would authorise the Board,

consistent with commercial practice, to fix the

remuneration of PwC as Investore’s auditor.

The Board unanimously recommends that

shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2 – Re-election of Director

Gráinne Troute

Director Gráinne Troute was elected to the

Board at the 2018 Annual Shareholder Meeting

and accordingly is required to stand for

reappointment in 2021, being the third annual

meeting following her appointment. Gráinne

therefore retires in accordance with NZX Listing

Rule 2.7.1 and offers herself for re-election. The

Investore Board has determined that Gráinne

will be an independent non-executive Director

for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules, and

will also be ‘Independent of the Manager’ under

Investore’s constitution, if elected.

The Board unanimously supports the re-election

of Gráinne Troute as a Director of Investore and

recommends that shareholders vote in favour of

Resolution 2.

No nominations for persons for appointment

to the Investore Board were received by

10 May 2021, being the closing date for such

nominations as advised to the market pursuant

to NZX Listing Rule 2.3.2, and subsequently

no other person is eligible to be elected as a

Director at the Annual Shareholder Meeting.

Gráinne is an independent Director of Investore and

is the Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee. Prior to

commencing a governance career Gráinne had extensive

experience in highly competitive and customer-focussed

sectors, in listed and unlisted organisations, including at

McDonald’s New Zealand and SKYCITY Entertainment

Group. Gráinne is currently a director of Tourism Holdings

Limited, Summerset Group Holdings Limited and Chair of

Tourism Industry Aotearoa.

equity securities.

Investore Property Limited Notice of Annual Shareholder Meeting 2021Investore Property Limited Notice of Annual Shareholder Meeting 2021

Any shareholder whose vote will be disregarded on
Resolution 2 or Resolution 3 as outlined previously is not

permitted to vote as a proxy for another person entitled to

vote on that resolution where such person gives the proxy

holder discretion on how to vote.

If shareholders intend to appoint a Director as their proxy

and mark the “Proxy’s Discretion” box, then:

• shareholders are advised to specify Directors Mike

Allen, Gráinne Troute or Adrian Walker as their proxy,

as any “Proxy’s Discretion” given to Directors Tim

Storey and John Harvey on Resolution 2 and 3 will be

disregarded; and

• shareholders should be aware that none of the

Directors are entitled to vote on Resolution 3 and

accordingly any “Proxy’s Discretion” given to a

Director on Resolution 3 will be disregarded.

Joint holders

Where two or more persons are registered as the holder

of a share, the vote of the person named first in the share

register and voting on the matter will be accepted to the

exclusion of the votes of the other joint holders.

Ordinary resolutions

All resolutions will be passed if approved by ordinary

resolution at the Annual Shareholder Meeting. An

ordinary resolution means a resolution passed by a

simple majority of the votes of those shareholders entitled

to vote and voting on the resolution.

Proxies

A shareholder of Investore may attend and vote at the

Annual Shareholder Meeting or may appoint a proxy

to attend and vote on their behalf. A proxy need not be

another shareholder of Investore, and may be the Chair of

the Meeting or any Director of Investore.

If you wish to appoint a proxy, you should complete

and return the Proxy Voting Form enclosed with

this Notice of Meeting, or lodge your proxy online at

www.investorvote.co.nz (see below for further details).

Lodging your proxy online will require you to enter your

CSN Shareholder number and postcode/country of

residence and the secure access control number that is

located on the front of your Proxy Voting Form.

To be effective, the Proxy Voting Form must be received

by Investore’s share registrar or the online appointment

completed through InvestorVote, no later than 11.00 am

on 6 July 2021. Proxy Voting Forms must be returned to

the office of Investore’s share registrar, Computershare

Investor Services Limited, either by:

• Mail in the enclosed pre-paid envelope, addressed to

Private Bag 92 119, Auckland 1142;

• Fax to +64 9 488 8787; or

• Lodge your proxy appointment online at

www.investorvote.co.nz.

A corporate shareholder may appoint a person to attend

the meetings as its representative in the same manner as

it may appoint a proxy.

If you appoint a proxy, you may either direct your proxy

how to vote for you, or you may give your proxy discretion

to vote as he/she sees fit. If you wish to give your proxy

discretion, then you must mark the appropriate boxes

on the Proxy Voting Form. If you appoint the Chair or

any other Director as your proxy, and tick the “Proxy’s

Discretion” box, the Chair or Director, as applicable,

intends to vote in favour of the relevant resolution, subject

to the voting restrictions outlined.

If you do not tick any box (either “For”, “Against” or

“Proxy’s Discretion”), the Chair or other Director (as

applicable) will not be permitted to act as your proxy. If

you tick more than one box in respect of a resolution your

vote will be invalid on that resolution.
