IMPORTANT DATES

Explanatory note 1

Auditor’s Appointment and Remuneration – Resolution 1

As a part of its ongoing review of governance policies

and their implementation, the Company decided to

conduct a review of the role of auditor and issued a

Request For Proposal (RFP) seeking responses from

suitably qualified accounting firms.

Deloitte has been the Company’s auditor since 2013 and

throughout this period has worked constructively with

the Company while maintaining professional scepticism,

independence, and objectivity when conducting audits.

In issuing the RFP the Company was mindful of the

desirability that auditors are in a position to discharge

their role independently and free from actual and

perceived conflicts of interest; that it is considered

best practice for listed companies to actively rotate

audit firms rather than just rotating audit partners within

incumbent audit firms; access to professional services

firms’ non-audit services; and that some inefficiencies

and constraints in the audit process have arisen as a

result of the company’s largest shareholder, Bright Dairy

Holding Limited, changing its auditors from Deloitte to

PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Following careful review and consideration of the

responses received to the RFP the Audit and Risk

Committee determined that PricewaterhouseCoopers

were the most suitable appointment. A recommendation

to this effect was made by the Audit and Risk

Committee to the Board. The Board agrees with the

recommendation made by the Audit and Risk Committee

and on this basis seeks the approval of shareholders

to the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers for the

purposes of section 207P(2) of the Companies Act 1993

and to authorise the board to fix the fees and expenses

of the auditors for the coming financial year for the

purposes of section 207S of the Companies Act 1993.

In the event that shareholders vote to approve

PricewaterhouseCoopers’ appointment as auditor,

PricewaterhouseCoopers will hold office until the

Company’s next annual meeting at which time they

will be subject to reappointment in the usual manner.

The financial statements and auditor’s report included

in the FY21 Annual Report presented to shareholders

were respectively audited and prepared by Deloitte

as the Company’s existing auditors.

Explanatory note 2

Re-election of Director – Resolution 2

Under NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, a Director must not

hold office (without re-election) past the third annual

meeting following the Director’s appointment, or three

years. A Director must retire from office but may stand

for re-election. Accordingly, Graeme Milne retires from

office, and being eligible offers himself for re-election.

Previously Graeme had indicated he would retire from

the Board at this Annual Meeting. Given the changes

in Management and the intention of the Board to

appoint John Penno as Chair once Grant Watson

starts as CEO (should the change to the Constitution

be approved by the shareholders) Graeme has agreed

to stand again as a Director. Graeme will remain as

Chair on the understanding that he will stand down in

January 2022 when Grant Watson starts as CEO and

John Penno is able to take on the chair role. At that

time Graeme will retire as a director and take on an

adviser role for 12 months. Upon Graeme retiring in

January the Board will appoint Paul McGilvary to the

Board. The Board considers Graeme Milne to be an

Independent Director under the NZX Listing Rules.

SYNLAIT 2021 NOTICE OF MEETING
4

Graeme joined the Synlait Group as a director in

2006. With extensive experience, his career in the

dairy industry has seen him working in New Zealand,

Australia and Europe. He is the Chair of Synlait Milk

Limited and Synlait Milk Finance Limited. Graeme was

appointed CEO of Bay Milk Products in 1992, and has

held several leadership roles since then, including

as CEO of the New Zealand Dairy Group, prior to the

formation of Fonterra, and interim CEO of Richmond

Limited and Bonlac Limited in Australia. Graeme

holds several other governance roles with a range of

organisations. He is the Chair of Terracare Fertilisers

Ltd, PF Olsen Limited, Braemar Hospital Limited and of

the Advisory Board for Rimanui Farms Ltd. He is also a

Director of Alliance Group. Ltd.

The Board and Management of Synlait support

Graeme’s re-election by shareholders.

Explanatory Note 3

Re-election of Director – Resolution 3

Under NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, a director must not hold

office (without re-election) past the third annual meeting

following the director’s appointment, or three years.

A director must retire from office but may stand for

re-election. Accordingly, John Penno retired from being

the Board Appointed Director prior to this meeting,

and, was reappointed by the Board as the Board

Appointed Director before this meeting. Now being

eligible, he offers himself for re-election as a Director.

The Board considers that John Penno is not currently

an independent director under the NZX Listing Rules.

As previously stated, John Penno is standing again

as the Board Appointed Director with the intention

that he will be appointed to the chair role by the

Board in January 2022 (should the amendment to the

Constitution be approved by shareholders).

After completing an Agricultural Science degree,

John commenced his career in the dairy industry as

a consulting officer for the New Zealand Dairy Board

before joining Dexcel as a research scientist where he

completed a PhD in animal science. As a scientist and

research program leader he worked to enable New

Zealand dairy farmers to increase productivity and

profit. John co-founded the Synlait Group in 2000 and

was a full-time executive for the Synlait Group from

2006 to 2018. As CEO of Synlait, John was responsible

for setting the strategic direction of the company

and supporting management to perform against the

strategy. As Managing Director, he contributed to the

governance of Synlait. In November 2018 John was

appointed as a Board Appointed Director of Synlait.

John chairs the Pure Food Co. Limited and is a director

of Okuora Holdings Limited, Thorndale Dairies Limited

and Leaft Foods Limited. He is also Chair of the Fresh

Water Leaders Group reporting to Ministers Parker

and O’Connor. In 2009, John received an emerging

leader’s award from the Sir Peter Blake Trust and

the Excellence in Leadership award at the 2015 New

Zealand International Business Awards.

The Board and Management of Synlait support John’s

re-election by shareholders.

Explanatory Note 4

Constitution Amendment – Resolution 4

The company proposes one amendment to the

Constitution to enable the Chair of the Board to

be either an Independent Director or the Board

Appointed Director for a limited period up until the

next Annual Meeting to be held in 2022. Currently the

Chair can only be an Independent Director.

Chair of the Board

(New Constitution). Schedule 1, Part A, paragraph 8

of the Constitution will be amended by adding the

underlined words to provide that the chair of the Board

can either be an independent director or a Board

Appointed Director for a limited period of time.

About Graeme About John

SYNLAIT 2021 NOTICE OF MEETING
5

The amended clause would read as follows:

8. An Independent Director must be the

chairperson of the Board and an Independent

Director must be the chairperson of the Audit

Committee established by the Company under the

Listing Rules, provided that until the completion

of the annual meeting of the Company in 2022,

an Independent Director or the Board Appointed

Director may be the chairperson of the Board.

The Board is seeking this change to the Constitution to

allow more flexibility in appointing the chair during this

period of disruption. Currently the Board is comprised of

eight directors, four of whom are elected by Bright Dairy

Limited and would not be eligible to hold the Chair

role due to the Chair having a casting role. The Board

Appointed Director can be an Independent Director or

Non-Independent Director and therefore may not be

eligible to be chair. This has previously only left three

Independent Directors from which the Board can select

a Chair. As one of these Independent Directors acts

as Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee that Director

cannot also be Chair of the Board. Leaving only two

Directors eligible to take up the role of Chair. There may

be circumstances where neither of those Independent

Directors are in a position to take up the Chair role due

to other commitments. This is currently the situation.

The Board have determined that John Penno is the best

person to be Chair and John will be in a position to act

as Chair once Grant Watson takes up the CEO role in

January 2022. As a result of John’s long history with

the company, the Board considers that John Penno is

not currently an Independent Director under the NZX

Listing Rules. To manage the fact that John Penno is

not currently an Independent Director, the Board are

seeking this one change to the Constitution to enable

the Chair to be either an Independent Director or the

Board Appointed Director.

Pursuant to the Companies Act 1993, the New

Constitution must be approved by a special resolution

of shareholders.

As the amendment to the Constitution does not impose

or remove a restriction on the activities of the company

or affect the rights attaching to shares, the shareholder

minority buy-out rights under the Companies Act 1993

do not apply.

A copy of the current constitution, the New Constitution

(should Resolution 4 be passed), and a marked-up

copy showing all differences between the current

constitution and the New Constitution may be reviewed

on the company’s website at: www.synlait.com/investors

A copy of the NZX Listing Rules can be found on the

NZX’s website: www.nzx.com
