director must not hold office (without re-election) past the

third annual meeting following the director’s appointment or

3 years, whichever is longer. If the Director is eligible, they may

RESOLUTION 4

Auditor Remuneration

That the Directors be authorised to fix

the fees and expenses of KPMG as the

auditor of EROAD.

Explanatory Note 4

KPMG is automatically reappointed as the auditor of EROAD

under Section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. Pursuant

to Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993, this resolution

authorises the Board to fix the fees and expenses of the auditor.

NON-BINDING SAY ON PAY VOTE
That EROAD’s Remuneration Report for

the year ended 31 March 2022, as set out

in the FY22 Annual Report, be adopted.

Explanatory Note 5

A change to the Australian Corporations Act (Cth) 2001 in 2011

introduced a Say on Pay regime which requires companies

listed on the ASX to include a non-binding resolution enabling

shareholders to vote on the adoption of a company’s annual

remuneration report. The Corporations Act Say on Pay regime

includes a ‘two-strike’ rule. The two-strike rule provides that if

at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to adopt the

remuneration report at two consecutive annual shareholders’

meetings are against adopting the remuneration report,

shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on a “spill

resolution” at the second annual shareholders’ meeting. In these

circumstances the spill resolution will be put to shareholders

at the second annual shareholders’ meeting as a contingent

resolution which will only be voted on if the remuneration report

is not adopted at the second annual shareholders’ meeting.

The spill resolution will ask shareholders to vote on whether the

company must hold another shareholders’ meeting to consider

spilling the board (known as a “spill meeting”). If the spill

resolution is approved by a simple majority of 50% or more of

the eligible votes cast, the spill meeting must be held within 90

days. At the spill meeting, those individuals who were directors

when the remuneration report was considered at the most

recent annual shareholders’ meeting will be required to stand

for re-election (other than the managing director, should the

company have one).

As a New Zealand registered company, EROAD is not required

to comply with the Corporations Act. However, the Board

has determined that as it seeks to continually improve its

governance in accordance with evolving international best

practice, it should adopt the Australian Say on Pay regime and

offer shareholders the opportunity to vote on its Remuneration

Report and to call a spill meeting in accordance with that

regime. EROAD has presented its Remuneration Report to

shareholders for the year ended 31 March 2022 in the FY22

Annual Report. At the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting a

resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report for the year ended

31 March 2022 will be put to shareholders. The outcome of the

vote will be non-binding.

Consistent with the Australian Say on Pay regime, no vote may

be cast on the resolution by the individuals whose remuneration

is detailed in the Remuneration Report or any closely related

party (as defined in the Corporations Act) of them, provided

that directed proxy votes may be cast by those persons and

undirected proxy votes may be cast by the chair of the meeting,

in either case where appointed as proxy on behalf of any

shareholder who is not prohibited from voting.

The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 114 to 137 of

EROAD’s FY22 Annual Report, which can be accessed on our

website at www.eroadglobal.com/global/investors/.

MEETING DETAILS
Procedural Notes

a. The persons who will be entitled to vote on the

resolutions at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting are those

persons who will be the shareholders of EROAD at 5pm

on Tuesday 26th July 2022. Certain persons are restricted

from voting on the Say on Pay Vote (see Explanatory

Note 5).

b. A shareholder may vote at the Annual Shareholders’

Meeting either in person or by proxy. A body corporate

which is a shareholder may appoint a representative to

attend the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on its behalf in

the same manner as that in which it could appoint

a proxy.

c. A proxy need not be a shareholder of EROAD. A

shareholder who wishes to do so may appoint the

Chairman of the Meeting to act as proxy.

d. A proxy will vote as directed in the proxy form or, if voting

is left to the proxy’s discretion, then the proxy will decide

how to vote on the resolutions. Where the Chairman is

appointed as proxy and voting is left to his discretion,

the Chairman intends to vote in favour of all Resolutions

(including the Say on Pay Vote).

e. A proxy form is enclosed and, if used, must be lodged

with the share registrar, Computershare Investor Services

Limited, in accordance with the instructions set out on the

form not less than 48 hours before the time of the holding

of the meeting.

f. Resolutions 1 to 4 must be passed by an ordinary

resolution of shareholders, i.e., by a simple majority of the

votes of those shareholders entitled to vote and voting

on the resolution in person or by proxy. The Say on Pay

Vote is non-binding, but is a special resolution and will be

passed if more than 75% of those shareholders entitled to

vote and voting on the resolution in person or by proxy

vote in favour.

Appointment of Proxy

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

and signing ‘Step 1’ of the Proxy Form and lodge it with Computershare Investor

Services Limited. A proxy can be any person of your choice and does not have

to be a shareholder of EROAD Limited. If you return this form without appointing a

proxy or signing it, your Proxy Form will be invalid.

The Chairman of the meeting, or any other director, is willing to act as proxy

for any shareholder who wishes to appoint him or her for that purpose.

To do this, enter ‘the Chairman’ or the name of your proxy in the space allocated

in ‘Step 1’ of this form. If you inadvertently do not name a proxy, or your named

accordance with your expressed direction. Alternatively, you can appoint a proxy

online at www.investorvote.co.nz.

Voting of your holding

Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item

of business.

If you tick the box “discretion” on any resolution, you are directing your proxy or

representative to decide how to vote on that resolution on your behalf. If you

tick the “abstain” box on any resolution, you are directing your proxy or

representative not to vote on that resolution. If you return this Proxy Form

without a direction as to how to vote on any resolution, or if you tick more than

one box in relation to any resolution, the vote on that resolution will be treated

as “discretion” and your proxy will exercise his/her discretion as to whether to

vote and, if so, how. The Chairman intends to vote discretionary proxies in favour

of Resolutions 1 to 4 and in favour of the Say on Pay Vote.

Voting Restrictions

Consistent with the Australian Say on Pay regime, no vote may be cast on the

Say on Pay Vote by the individuals whose remuneration is detailed in the

Remuneration Report or any related party of them, provided that directed proxy

votes may be cast by those persons and undirected proxy votes may be cast by
