The Board may in its absolute discretion refuse or delay the registration of any

stated in that certificate.

of Quotation (adjusted as necessary to reflect any share subdivision or consolidation

occurring after the Date of Quotation), be entitled to appoint one Director, and to

remove any Director so appointed by it, in each case by notice in writing to the

Company, provided that no such appointment of a Director may be made if it would

result in the proportion such Director bears to the total number of Directors

(excluding alternate Directors) exceeding the proportion of total Votes attaching to

the Equity Securities in the Company that are held by the Akarua Shareholder.

clause 26.1 remains in office, the Akarua Shareholder may not Vote on the election

of other Directors.

a new Akarua Shareholder) without the Company’s prior written consent.

27.1 Each Director shall retire from office when required to do so by the Rules, but,

subject to the Rules, shall be eligible for re-election (including at any meeting at

8

29.2 The chairperson of the Board and, if one has been elected, the deputy chairperson of

the Board holds that office until he or she vacates that office or the Directors elect a

chairperson or deputy chairperson (as the case may be) in his or her place.

The office of Director is vacated if the person holding that office:

30.1 dies;

consecutive meetings of the Board without leave being granted by a

resolution of the Board and the Board resolves that the Director has vacated

office;

30.3 becomes disqualified from being a director pursuant to the Act; or

30.4 retires from office and is not re-elected.

31 Meetings of the Board

The Third Schedule governs the proceedings at meetings of the Board, except where

otherwise agreed by all Directors in relation to a particular meeting or meetings.

The third schedule to the Act does not apply to proceedings of the Board.

32 Written resolutions of Board permitted

A written resolution signed or assented to by all the Directors then entitled to

receive notice of a meeting of the Board is as valid and effective as if it had been

passed at a meeting of the Board duly convened and held.

33 Written resolutions may be in counterparts

Any written resolution may consist of several copies of the resolution, each signed or

assented to by one or more of the Directors. A copy of a written resolution, which

has been signed and is sent by email or any similar means of communication

(including PDF counterparts), will satisfy the requirements of this clause.

34 Board delegates to comply with regulations

In exercising the Board’s delegated powers, any committee of Directors, Director,

employee, or any other person must comply with any regulations that the Board

may impose.

35 Committee proceedings

The provisions of this constitution relating to meetings and proceedings of the Board

also apply to meetings and proceedings of any committee of Directors, except to the

extent the Board determines otherwise.

36 Reimbursement of expenses

A Director may be reimbursed for reasonable travelling, accommodation and other

expenses incurred in the course of performing duties or exercising powers as a

Director without requiring the prior approval of shareholders.

37 Directors may appoint and remove alternate Directors

Every Director may:

37.1 appoint any person who is not a Director and is not disqualified by the Act or

100496079/4801266.6

9

Director in his or her place either for a specified period, or generally during

the absence or inability to act from time to time of such Director; and

37.2 remove his or her alternate Director from that office,

by giving written notice to that effect to the Company. A majority of the other

Directors may similarly remove an alternate of a Director (other than a Director

appointed under clause 26.1) from that office. An alternate Director for a Director

appointed under clause 26.1 may attend meetings of the Board as an observer if

that Director attends the relevant meeting (but, in that circumstance, the alternate

Director may not vote or participate in the business of the meeting).

38 Alternate Director has powers of appointer

While acting in the place of the Director who appointed him or her, an alternate

Director:

38.1 has, and may exercise and discharge, all the powers, rights, duties and

privileges of that Director (including the right to receive notice of, be counted

as part of the quorum of, and participate in a meeting, of the Board, and to

sign any document, including a written resolution, and to act as chairperson

of the Board, but excluding the right to appoint an alternate Director);

38.2 is also subject to the same terms and conditions of appointment as that

Director, except that he or she is not entitled to receive remuneration other

than such proportion (if any) of the remuneration otherwise payable to his or

her appointer as the appointer may direct by notice in writing to the

Company.

39 Termination of appointment of alternate Director

The appointment of an alternate Director terminates automatically if the Director

who appointed him or her ceases to be a Director or if an event occurs which would

cause him or her to vacate office if he or she were a Director. A Director retiring by

rotation and being re-elected is not to be treated as having ceased to be a Director

for the purposes of this clause.

GENERAL

40 Company indemnification of directors and employees for certain liabilities

The Company shall indemnify a director of the Company, and may indemnify an

employee of the Company or a director or employee of a related company, for any

liability or costs for which a director or employee may be indemnified under the Act.

The Company may, with the prior approval of the Board, effect insurance for a

director or employee of the Company or a related company for any liability or costs

for which a company may effect insurance for a director or employee under the Act.

insurance.

42 Manner of execution of deeds

An obligation which, if entered into by a natural person, would, by law, be required

to be by deed, may be entered into on behalf of the Company in writing signed

under the name of the Company by a Director, or any other person authorised by



100496079/4801266.6

10

the Board, whose signature must be witnessed, or as otherwise permitted by the

Act.

43 Distribution of surplus assets in kind

by special resolution, but subject to any other sanction required by the Act:

43.1 divide among the shareholders in kind the whole or any part of the surplus

assets of the Company and for that purpose the liquidator may:

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.

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.



100496079/4801266.6

12

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.

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.



100496079/4801266.6

LIEN ON SHARES

16 Company’s lien

for:

16.4 unpaid calls and instalments payable in respect of any such Shares; and

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.

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.

business of the meeting cannot be conducted in a proper and orderly manner. The



100496079/4801266.6

15

chairperson may exercise this power without the consent of the meeting and without

giving reasons.

8 Dissolved meetings - unfinished business

If the chairperson proposes to dissolve a meeting pursuant to clause 7, and there is

be put to the vote by a poll without further discussion.

In the case of an equality of votes, whether on a show of hands, voice vote or on a

poll, the chairperson does not have a casting vote.

As required by the Rules, all voting at meetings of shareholders must be conducted

by a poll.

A poll demanded on the election of a chairperson of a meeting or on a question of

adjournment must be taken immediately. A poll demanded on any other question is

may proceed to deal with any business other than that upon which a poll has been

demanded pending the taking of the poll.

12 Declaration of poll result

12.1 The chairperson of the meeting may declare the result of a poll either at or after the

meeting, and when the outcome of the poll is known, may do so regardless of

whether all votes have been counted.

14.3 the Share in respect of which the notice of proxy is given has been

transferred,



100496079/4801266.6

16

before a meeting at which a proxy exercises a vote in terms of a notice of proxy but

the Company does not receive written notice of that death, incapacity, revocation, or

transfer before the start of the meeting, the vote of the proxy is valid.

POSTAL VOTES

15 Postal votes permitted at Board’s option

15.1 A shareholder may exercise the right to vote at a meeting by casting a postal vote

only if the Board, prior to the giving of notice of a meeting, has so determined and,

The Board may, by notice in writing, require:

3.1 any Shareholder; or

of transfer, transmission, operation of law or issue) (Proposed Recipient),



100496079/4801266.6

21

to lodge with the Company within 15 working days of the date of the notice a

statutory declaration (or other disclosure or documentary evidence as may be

required by the Board) giving such information Concerning the Shareholder and/or

any Shares held by that Shareholder as the Board may require for the purposes of

determining whether circumstances have arisen which may entitle it to exercise,

and/or whether to exercise, its powers under this Schedule (Required Disclosure).

The information that the Board may request be disclosed in a Required Disclosure

includes (but is not limited to):

3.3 the number and class of Shares of which the:

5.1 if the Board has required the Proposed Recipient under clause 3 to lodge a

Required Disclosure with the Company and that Required Disclosure has:

100496079/4801266.6

22

(b) been received by the Company but has not been completed to the

satisfaction of the Board or, in the opinion of the Board, is or may be

materially incorrect or misleading or otherwise unsatisfactory; or

5.2 if the Board knows or believes that the transfer of those Shares to the

Proposed Recipient will or is likely to cause the Company to Breach the

Overseas Ownership Threshold,

and the Board resolves to exercise its powers under this clause within 30 working

days after receipt or presentation of the relevant transfer. Notice of the resolution

must be sent to the transferor and to the transferee within five working days of it

6 Registration of transfer not to affect rights of the Board

The registration of any transfer will not prejudice or affect in any way the provisions

of, or the powers exercisable after such registration by the Board or the Company

under, this Schedule (whether in respect of the transferred Shares or otherwise).

AFFECTED SHARES

7 Notification that Shares may be Affected Shares

Where:

7.1 a Shareholder has not lodged a Required Disclosure with the Company within

the 15 working day period specified in clause 3 or that Required Disclosure

has been received by the Company but has not been completed to the

satisfaction of the Board or in the opinion of the Board is or may be materially

incorrect or misleading or otherwise unsatisfactory (that Shareholder being an

Inadequate Discloser); or

7.2 the Board is of the opinion that any Required Disclosure provided to the

Company by, and/or any other information held by or known to the Board

which Concerns, a Shareholder (a Relevant Shareholder) or any Shares held

by that Shareholder, indicates that the Company has Breached the Overseas

Ownership Threshold,

the Company may give notice in writing to the relevant Shareholder (an Initial

Notice Recipient), notifying the Initial Notice Recipient:

7.3 that the Board is (and summarising the Board’s reasons for) considering

whether it should determine that Shares held by that Initial Notice Recipient

are Affected Shares;

7.4 of the number of Shares in each class of Shares held by that Initial Notice

Recipient that the Board is considering whether to determine to be Affected

Shares;

7.5 that, in the event that the Board determines that any such Shares are

Affected Shares:

(a) some or all voting rights attaching to the Affected Shares may be

immediately suspended; and

(b) the Initial Notice Recipient will be required to dispose of those Affected

Shares to a Non-Overseas Person within 20 working days, failing which



100496079/4801266.6

23

the Board may dispose of those Shares on behalf of the Initial Notice

Recipient; and

7.6 that the Initial Notice Recipient may make representations in writing to the

Company as to the matters set out in the notice within 15 working days of the

date of that notice (Representations).

8 Determination of Affected Shares

8.1 Within:

(a) 45 working days of the date of a notice given by the Company under

clause 7 (if no Representations are received by the Company within the

time referred to in clause 7.6); or

(b) 30 working days of receiving any Representations in writing pursuant to

clause 7.6,

whichever is the later, the Board may determine whether any Shares held by the

Shareholder given notice by the Company under clause 7 (Final Notice Recipient) are

“Affected Shares”.

8.2 If a Shareholder is an Inadequate Discloser, the Board may for all purposes of

this Schedule deem the Shareholder to have become an Overseas Person or

an associate of an Overseas Person on the date of the notice sent to that

Shareholder under clause 3 requiring the relevant Required Disclosure, unless

and until the Board determines that the Shareholder was not an Overseas

Person on that date.

8.3 The determination of the Board under clause 8.1, including any determination

whether to consider any Representations from the Final Notice Recipient and

the weight to be placed on the same, is binding on the Final Notice Recipient

and not subject to challenge, appeal or review. In making its determination,

the Board may take into account such evidence or other information as it

considers appropriate.

8.4 The Company must promptly give notice in writing to the Final Notice

Recipient following any determination made by the Board under this clause,

indicating:

(a) whether the Board has determined that any of the Shares held by that

Final Notice Recipient are Affected Shares; and

(b) if so, the number of Shares in each class of Shares held by that Final

Notice Recipient that the Board has determined are Affected Shares.

8.5 A determination of the Board under clause 8.1 that some or all of the Shares

held by a Final Notice Recipient are or are not Affected Shares does not

prevent the Board from subsequently making a different determination as to

whether any such Shares are Affected Shares, or that any other Shares are

also Affected Shares.

9 Suspension of rights attaching to, and disposal of, Affected Shares

9.1 If the Board makes a determination under clause 8 that Shares are Affected

Shares, the Shareholder of those Affected Shares:



100496079/4801266.6

24

(a) if so notified in that notice, will not (unless the notice given by the

Board under clause 8 is withdrawn) be entitled to exercise the votes

attached to those Affected Shares at any meeting of Shareholders

(including at any meeting of an interest group or a class of

Shareholders) and any such vote cast at any such meeting shall be

disregarded, provided that nothing in this clause 9.1 shall prevent any

the Shareholder attending any such meeting; and

(b) must (unless the notice given by the Board under clause 8 is

withdrawn), within 20 working days, ensure that the Affected Shares

are disposed of to a Non Overseas Person.

9.2 If the Board is not satisfied that:

(a) such a disposal of Affected Shares has been made; or

(b) a disposal of Affected Shares was made to a Non Overseas Person,

the Company may sell the Affected Shares on behalf of the Shareholder (or any

person who or which the Board does not consider to be a Non-Overseas Person and

who or which has acquired them) to a Non-Overseas Person. The Company may

only sell Affected Shares pursuant to this clause 9.2 in a manner first approved by

NZX.

10 Validity of resolutions etc unaffected

Notwithstanding clause 9.1(a), no resolution of, or proceeding at, a meeting of

Shareholders (or of the holders of Shares in a class or interest group) shall be

invalid on the grounds that:

10.1 a Shareholder who holds Affected Shares cast a vote in breach of clause

9.1(a), provided any such vote was counted by (or on behalf of) the Company

in good faith and without actual knowledge at the time of the vote that it was

cast in contravention of that clause; or

10.2 a Shareholder was prohibited from casting a vote or votes in respect of any

Shares because the Board had determined in accordance with clause 8.1 that

those Shares were Affected Shares in circumstances where the Board

subsequently withdraws the notice given by the Board under clause 8 on the

basis that the Board no longer considers that the Shares to which the notice

applied are or may be Affected Shares.

11 Appointment of Company as agent

11.1 For the purposes of clause 9, a Shareholder holding any Affected Shares (for

the avoidance of doubt, including any Overseas Person who or which acquires

Affected Shares from a former Shareholder required to dispose of those

Affected Shares under clause 9.1(b)) will be deemed to have appointed, and

does hereby irrevocably appoint, the Company as its agent with full authority

to act (and the Company shall have full authority to act) on its behalf in

relation to the sale of the Affected Shares and to sign all documents relating

to such sale and transfer of the Affected Shares (including any instrument of

share transfer) and the Board may register a transfer of the Affected Shares

so sold, whether or not the transfer has been properly completed and whether

or not it is accompanied by the certificates (if any) for the Affected Shares.



100496079/4801266.6

25

11.2 Any person transferred such Shares will not be bound to see to the application

of the purchase money, nor will his, her or its title to the Shares be affected

by any irregularity or invalidity in the proceedings relating to the sale of those

Shares.

11.3 The net proceeds of sale, after deduction of any brokerage, other costs of sale

and other costs incurred by the Company in connection with the sale

(including, for the avoidance of doubt, all costs reasonably incurred by the

Company or the Board in investigating whether such Shares should be treated

as Affected Shares, or otherwise in relation to the exercise of its powers under

this Schedule in relation (directly or indirectly) to those Affected Shares), will

be held on trust by the Company for, and be paid (together with interest at

such rate (if any) as the Board considers appropriate) to, the Shareholder

who or which held them immediately prior to their sale on surrender by that

(former) Shareholder of the certificate (if any) for the Affected Shares and

otherwise as soon as reasonably practicable after the sale has been settled.

12 Withdrawal or amendment of notice

12.1 If the Board considers that any notice issued by the Company under clause 7

or 8 should be withdrawn (because it no longer believes that the Shares to

which the notice applied are or may be (as the case may be) Affected Shares)

or amended, it may do so, and must give notice of the withdrawal or

amendment to the Shareholder of the relevant Shares.

12.2 In the event that the Board, in accordance with clause 12.1, amends any

notice that it has previously issued under clause 7 or 8, the time limit within

which that Shareholder may provide Representations to the Company or must

dispose of Affected Shares (as applicable) shall commence from the date of

the amended notice (and not the date of the original notice given under

clause 7 or 8 (as applicable)).

13 No liability

Subject to the obligation of the Company under clause 11.3 to pay the net proceeds

from the sale of Affected Shares to the relevant former Shareholder, to the

maximum extent permitted by law neither the Company, nor any Director, officer,

employee, agent or adviser of the Company, shall have any liability of any nature to

any person (including any registered holder of any Shares) for or in relation (directly

or indirectly) or connection with the exercise or purported exercise of any of the

powers under this Schedule or otherwise in connection with the provisions of this

Schedule.

TERMS OF ISSUE OF OTHER SHARES

14 If the Company issues Shares then the Board must ensure that the terms of issue of

those Shares include or otherwise incorporate clauses 1 to 13 (inclusive), with such

amendments as may be necessary to reflect the nature of the relevant Shares.

GENERAL

15 Notices

15.1 A notice required to be given to a person under this Schedule may be given in

any manner set out in section 391 of the Act.

15.2 The absence of such a notice in such circumstances, and any accidental error

in or failure to give any notice to any person to whom notice is required to be



100496079/4801266.6

26

given under this Schedule will not prevent the implementation of or invalidate

any procedure under this Schedule.

16 Decisions final, conclusive and binding

Any resolution or determination of, or decision or declaration or exercise of any

discretion or power by, the Company or the Board under or pursuant to this

Schedule is to be final and conclusive; and any disposal or transfer made, or other

thing done, by or on behalf of, or on the authority of, the Company or the Board

pursuant to this Schedule is to be conclusive and binding on all persons concerned

therein and is not open to challenge, appeal or review, whether as to its validity or

otherwise on any ground whatsoever.

A certificate signed by a Director and countersigned by a second Director that a

power of sale under clause 10 has arisen and is exercisable by the Board, or that a

Share has been duly transferred under clause 10 on the date stated therein, is

conclusive evidence of the facts stated therein.
