Notice of Annual Meeting
Notice is given that the Annual Meeting of shareholders of Savor Limited (“Savor”) will be held online at
www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/svr21, on Thursday 18 November 2021, commencing at 11:00am.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions in Auckland, Savor adjourned the previous Annual Meeting in the hope that
it could be held in person. Unfortunately, due to the extension of restrictions, the Board do not consider
it prudent to wait any longer to reconvene the Annual Meeting and have therefore moved to an online
only format. Shareholders cannot attend the Annual Meeting in person. We appreciate the support and
understanding of our shareholders regarding these arrangements.

RESOLUTION 1:
Election of Ryan Davis
Ryan Davis was elected to the Board in April 2021 and therefore offers
himself for election by shareholders at the 2021 Annual Meeting. Ryan is
currently the Chair of the Audit & Risk Committee and a member of the
People & Culture and Remuneration Committees.
Ryan is the founder and Managing Director of GreenMount Advisory
based in Sydney, Melbourne and Auckland, established in September 2018.
Prior to this, Ryan was a Senior Partner and Asia-Pacific Private Equity Tax
Leader for EY, after joining EY in 2011. Ryan has been the lead Partner on
some of Australia and New Zealand’s largest private equity transactions
with over 20 years’ experience advising global and domestic clients on
mergers, acquisitions, and divestments. Ryan’s extensive experience in
strategic transactions and strong financial background will prove vital as
the Group continues to execute its growth strategy. Ryan is a Chartered
Accountant.
The Board considers Ryan to be an independent director and unanimously
recommends that shareholders vote in favour of his election.
RESOLUTION 2:
Election of Louise Alexander
Louise Alexander was elected to the Board in April 2021 and therefore
offers herself for election by shareholders at the 2021 Annual Meeting.
Louise is currently the Chair of the People & Culture Committee and a
member of the Audit & Risk and Remuneration Committees.
Louise is a senior HR practitioner and people leader and is currently the
HR Director for Bell Gully, a role which she has held since 2015. Louise has
developed and led Bell Gully’s HR strategy over that time, focusing on
communication, diversity and culture, and supporting and developing
people through the talent management programme. Louise has a passion
for the not for profit sector, with both management and governance roles
in various organisations throughout her career. Louise brings a critical
skillset to Savor, where the success of the Group is driven by its teams
in the venues. Savor continues to look for innovative ways to develop
and reward our teams, and Louise’s appointment will bring strength to
continuing that process.
The Board considers Louise to be an independent director and
unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of her election.

RESOLUTION 3:
Appointment of EY as Savor’s auditor
EY were appointed as Savor’s auditor in February 2021. This resolution
provides for that appointment to be confirmed by shareholders at the
Annual Meeting. Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 provides that
the fees and expenses of EY as auditor are to be fixed in such a manner
as Savor determines at the Annual Meeting. The Board proposes that,
consistent with commercial practice, the auditor’s fees should be fixed
by the Directors.
