RESOLUTION 3
Re-election of Director
That Susan Paterson, having retired in

Under Listing Rule 2.7.1 of the NZX Listing Rules, and in

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

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
