your proxy to be effective it must be received by 2pm (New Zealand Standard Time), Tuesday 28 September 2021.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY

If you do not plan to attend the meeting, you may appoint a

proxy. The Chairman of the meeting or any other director is

willing to act as proxy for any shareholder who appoints him

or her for that purpose. If, in appointing your proxy, you do

not name a person as your proxy (either online or on this

Proxy Form), or your named proxy does not attend the

meeting, the Chairman of the meeting will be your proxy and

may vote only in accordance with your express direction.

Voting of your holding

Direct your proxy how to vote by making the appropriate

election, either online or on this Proxy Form, in respect of

each item of business (Resolutions 1 to 4). If you do not make

an election in respect of a resolution your proxy may vote as

they choose.

If you make more than one election in respect of a resolution

your vote will be invalid on that resolution.

Appointing the Chairman of the meeting or a director as your proxy

If you expressly appoint the Chairman of the meeting or any

other director as your proxy and elect to give them

discretion on how to vote on a resolution, you acknowledge

that they may exercise your vote (unless a voting restriction

applies) even if they have an interest in the outcome of that

resolution. The Chairman of the meeting and the directors

intend to vote all discretionary proxies in favour of

Resolutions 1 to 4, subject to the voting restrictions that

apply to Resolution 4.

Voting Restrictions

No shareholder is restricted from voting on Resolutions 1 to

3 under the NZX Listing Rules. In accordance with NZX Listing

Rule 6.3.1, any shareholder who acquired shares under the

Placement (and their respective Associated


Persons) is disqualified from voting in favour of Resolution 4,

except where such shareholder is casting a vote under an

expressly directed proxy of a person who is not disqualified

from voting on the resolution.

ATTENDING THE MEETING

The Annual Meeting will be held online only at

www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/ike21. If you wish to vote in person,

you should attend the meeting online. If you will attend the

Meeting online, you will require your CSN/Holder Number for

Explanatory notes

Resolution 1: Approval of Board fixing remuneration of auditor

The Companies Act 1993 requires the Company to appoint an auditor and provides that the fees

and expenses of an auditor appointed at an Annual Meeting can be fixed in the manner

determined at that meeting.

In September 2021, following a formal request for proposal process for external audit services,

the Company announces that Grant Thornton was the successful party in that process. The

directors recommend that Grant Thornton be appointed as auditor for the financial year ending

31 March 2022.

The appointment of Grant Thornton brings in a firm with broad experience dealing with complex

Listed clients. The Grant Thornton audit team for the year ending 31 March 2022 will be led by

Brayden Smith.

Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 details the basis on how the fees and expenses of the

auditor shall be set. In order to provide flexibility, your directors recommend that they be

authorised to determine the fees and expenses of the auditors.

Prior to their appointment (subject to shareholder approval) the Board assessed and confirmed

the independence of Grant Thornton.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2: Approval of appointment of director

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.

Eileen Healy, being a director who was appointed by the Board during the year, retires from

office. Being eligible, Eileen Healy has offered herself for election.

The Board considers that Eileen Healy will be an independent director for the purposes of the

NZX Listing Rules if elected to the Board.

Eileen Healy is an industry leader and serial entrepreneur who has founded two high-tech start-

ups addressing the U.S. communications market: Healy & Co, an innovative company providing

outsourced engineering to the U.S. utility market. Customers include AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile,

Vodafone, Verizon Wireless, Frontier Communications, and FirstNet. She also founded and sold

Telecompetition Inc., a data analytics company.

Prior to that, Eileen held senior positions with Pacific Bell and Gartner Group. Healy & Co’s

current contracts include the build of a greenfield 5G network using ORAN (Open Radio Access

Network) across all of the U.S. for a major mobile network operator and the transition of a 4G

network from Los Angeles County to AT&T Inc. Based in San Francisco, she holds a B.S. in

Electrical Engineering from University of California, Berkeley.

Eileen’s other past roles include:

• Consultant for the California Public Utilities (CPUC) to evaluate options to hold network

operators accountable for pole safety.

• CEO of the primary vendor for all T-Mobile USA backhaul circuit design, provisioning and

process management across North America.

• CEO of Telecompetition Inc., directing software development of ATIVA (Advanced

Telecommunications Industry Views and Analysis) based on her patented technology.

• Co-Chairwoman of IEEE committees and work with the ITU on a range of technology

initiatives.

The Board unanimously supports the election of Eileen Healy.

Resolution 3: Re-election of Alex Knowles

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, Alex Knowles is required to retire, but being eligible, has offered himself up

for re-election.

Alex Knowles has investing and operating experience with international companies in the

information technology and transportation industries. He was formerly Chief Operating

Officer of the largest international freight forwarder and small parcel consolidator in the U.S.

The Board considers that Alex Knowles will be a non-independent director for the purposes of

the NZX Listing Rules if re-elected to the Board.

The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Alex Knowles.

Resolution 4: Ratification of Placement

Background

Under the 19 August 2021 placement (the Placement), IKE issued 19,300,000 fully paid ordinary

shares in IKE to new and existing institutional investors who were invited to participate in the

Placement at a price of A$0.95 / NZ$1.00 per share, representing a 13.0% discount to the

volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s shares as traded on ASX, and a 14.6%

discount to the VWAP of the Company’s shares as traded on the NZX, over the 5 days up to and

including 6 August 2021 (the last day of trading ahead of the announcement of the Placement).

The Placement raised gross proceeds of approximately A$18.3 million (approximately NZ$19.2

million).

Listing Rules requirements – ratification of Placement and refreshed capacity

All of the shares issued under the Placement were issued under NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1. In broad

terms, that Listing Rule permits an issue of shares up to 15% of the issued shares of IKE in any

12 month period without prior shareholder approval. The shares issued under the Placement

were equal to approximately 14.46% of the issued shares of IKE as at the date on which the

shares were issued, being 19 August 2021.

This resolution is being proposed by the Board in accordance with NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1(c), which

allows shareholders to ratify a prior issue of shares under NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1. If shareholders

pass the resolution, and thereby ratify the issue of 19,300,000 shares under the Placement, the

capacity to issue equity securities under NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1 up to the 15% limit permitted by the

rule will be refreshed by that number of shares. This would preserve the ability of IKE to issue further

equity securities up to the 15% threshold in accordance with NZX Listing Rule 4.5.1, should IKE wish

to undertake a further placement of equity securities in the next 12 month period.

Failure to pass this resolution will not affect the validity of the shares issued under the

Placement but will reduce the number of equity securities that can be issued by IKE under NZX

Listing Rule 4.5.1 for a period of twelve months from 19 August 2021.


Page | 6


Purpose of ratification

Part of IKE’s stated growth objectives is the completion of acquisitions. For instance, in H2

FY21, IKE acquired the assets of Visual Globe LLC. IKE proposes to refresh the company’s

placement capacity to execute quickly on potential future acquisitions if they arise. Having the

flexibility to raise capital quickly strengthens IKE’s ability to enter into tender processes and not

be as constrained by IKE’s placement capacity.

The additional capacity would only be used if a substantial opportunity arose that required

additional funds to be raised. There is no guarantee that any such further issue will be

undertaken or as to the terms of, and timing for, any such issue.

The Board recommends to shareholders that they vote in favour of this resolution, as it will

provide IKE with flexibility to raise money through the issue of further equity securities.
