Late last year, the Board appointed Paul Hutchison as a

Rebstock and Alastair Bell retire by rotation and, being
eligible, offer themselves for re-election. In addition,
Jonathan Mason retires by rotation and, being eligible,
offers himself for re-election for a term of one year. The
meeting will therefore be asked to consider by ordinary
resolution:
2. To re-elect Jonathan Mason as a Director of the
Company for a further one year term ending on the
date of the 2023 Annual Meeting of the Company.
3. To re-elect Paula Rebstock as a Director of the

Explanatory Notes
A. ORDINARY BUSINESS
Explanatory Note 1 – Chair’s and Group Chief
Executive’s Reports
The Chair and the Group Chief Executive will each give
a presentation on the financial year ended 30 June 2022.
Events occurring after 30 June 2022 will also
be discussed.
Explanatory Note 2 – Election and Re-election of
Directors
The NZX Listing Rules require that directors appointed
by the Board retire at the next annual meeting but shall
be eligible for election at that meeting. Late last year,
the Board appointed Paul Hutchison as a director of the
Company. He retires at this Annual Meeting, but, being
eligible, offers himself for election.
The NZX Listing Rules also require that directors must
not hold office (without re-election) past the third
annual meeting following the director’s appointment or
3 years, whichever is longer.
Jonathan Mason, Paula Rebstock and Alastair Bell
are subject to rotation under the NZX Listing Rules
and they retire by rotation at this Annual Meeting.
Being eligible, Paula Rebstock and Alastair Bell offer
themselves for re-election and Jonathan Mason also
offers himself for re-election but only until the end of the
2023 annual meeting of the Company. The Board has
determined that Jonathan Mason and Paula Rebstock
are Independent Directors (as defined by the NZX
Listing Rules). Paul Hutchison and Alastair Bell are not
Independent Directors, as they are Trustees of Entrust.
In addition, the Board recommends that Doug McKay
be appointed as a new director of the Company with
effect from 1 October 2022. Doug McKay, being eligible,
offers himself for election. Biographical details for Doug
McKay and the other directors proposed to be elected
or re-elected by rotation are set out on page 9. Under
the NZX Listing Rules, the amount of the directors’ fee
pool will be increased by the average amount being
paid to non-executive directors excluding the Chair, as
a consequence of appointment of Doug McKay as an
additional director.
Explanatory Note 3 – Appointment and Remuneration
of Auditor
Section 207T of the Companies Act 1993 provides that a
company’s auditor is automatically reappointed unless
there is a resolution or other reason for the auditor not to
be reappointed. The Company wishes KPMG to continue
as the Company’s auditor, and KPMG has indicated its
willingness to do so.
Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 provides that
the fees and expenses of KPMG as auditor are to be
fixed by the Company at the Annual Meeting or in such
a manner as the Company determines at the Annual
Meeting. The Board proposes that, consistent with
past practice, the auditor’s fees should be fixed by
the directors.
Explanatory Note 4 – Alterations to Constitution
This special resolution seeks to alter the Company’s
constitution.
A copy of the proposed altered constitution is available
free of charge by contacting investor@vector.co.nz. You
may also inspect the proposed amended constitution at
https://vector.co.nz/governance.
Clause 26.4
The first proposed change is an amendment to clause
26.4 to allow Entrust to appoint a director to fill a
casual vacancy on the Board which arises as a result of
a director, who at the time of his or her appointment
to the Board was an Entrust Trustee, ceasing to
be a director prior to the end of his or her term of
appointment by reason of the director:
(a) dying, or becoming mentally disordered or subject to
a property order or personal order made under the
Protection of Personal and Property Rights Act 1988;
(b) resigning;
(c) becoming disqualified from being a director;
(d) becoming bankrupt or making an arrangement or
composition with his or her creditors generally; or
(e) having for more than six months been absent without
approval of the Board from meetings of the Board
held during that period.
Clause 34
The second proposed change is to allow the trustees
of Entrust to approve transactions involving more
than 15% of Vector’s Average Market Capitalisation by
providing approval in writing rather than at a meeting
of Vector shareholders, and to include an exception for
transactions between wholly-owned group members,
consistent with the approach taken in other provisions
in the constitution. The change would not apply if the
NZX Listing Rules or Companies Act 1993 also required
approval of such a transaction under listing rule 5.1 or
section 129 of the Companies Act 1993.
Nature of changes
The proposed alterations do not impose or remove a
restriction on Vector’s activities, or affect the rights
attached to Vector shares, and accordingly no rights arise
under sections 110 or 117 of the Companies Act 1993.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders
vote in favour of the alterations to the Company’s
constitution.

Explanatory Note 5 – Director Remuneration
The NZX Listing Rules require that remuneration
of directors be authorised by ordinary resolution of
shareholders.
Proposed changes:
This resolution seeks shareholder approval to:
a) increase the total annual director fee pool by $281,820
from $805,200 to $1,087,020 (plus GST, if any), which
reflects a 35% increase since the last director fee
increase in 2013, and an increase of 2.53% per annum
over the 12-year period to 2025 (on the basis that
the Board does not anticipate seeking shareholder
approval for any further increases in the directors’
annual fee pool prior to 2026);
b) implement the proposed increase in directors’ fees
over 2 financial years, with the first annual fee pool
of $946,110 (plus GST, if any) to apply to the 2023
financial year and the second annual fee pool of
$1,087,020 (plus GST, if any) to apply from the 2024
financial year and until such time as any further
increase in the total annual fee pool is approved by
shareholders; and
c) change the director fee structure from the current
fixed annual amounts for the Board Chair ($201,300)
and for each Non-Executive Director ($100,650) to an
annual fee pool of a maximum aggregate amount of
$1,087,020 (plus GST, if any), to be divided amongst
the directors as the Board determines from time to
time by resolution of the Board. This approach is the
more flexible structure that most other NZX listed
companies use.
The current and proposed fees by role are summarised in the following table. The Board will allocate the total annual
fee pool consistently amongst the directors via a base fee plus specified fees for each of the committee Chair and
member roles held (excluding the Board Chair). The Board has resolved to allocate the total annual fee pool as set out
in the table but reserves the discretion to reallocate the total annual fee pool, by resolution of the Board, should the
Board need to reconstitute the number of committees or number of members on each committee.

the additional workload of the role. The Deputy Board Chair will also be paid fees for any Committee Chair and / or
Member roles in the same manner as other Non-Executive Directors.

Background and reasoning for proposed change:
The Board has undertaken a detailed review of the
directors’ remuneration including engaging PwC to
undertake an independent market benchmarking of
the Company’s non-executive director fees against
comparable companies in New Zealand. The purpose of
the review was to assess the appropriateness of the fees
being paid to directors, and ensure that the Company’s
director remuneration practices are consistent with
market trends and its objective of attracting and
retaining high calibre individuals as directors. The
peer group used in PwC’s benchmarking process
included 14 NZX listed companies with comparable
market capitalisations to the Company. A summary
of the PwC benchmarking report can be found at
https://www.vector.co.nz/investors/shareholder-meetings.
The proposed change to an annual director fee pool, and
increase in remuneration reflects that:
a) Directors’ fees have not been increased since 1
October 2013.
b) The Company wishes to introduce fees payable
to committee Chairs and members - currently
there is no ability to compensate directors for the
significant additional attendances and workload
that committee Chair and member roles require. The
Company is unusual when compared to other NZX
listed companies in not paying committee Chair and
member fees and the Company wishes to rectify this
to ensure directors are adequately remunerated for
their roles. The Board wishes to address this issue by
paying both committee Chair and member fees at
approximately the median of the market data which
accounts for just over 74% of the increase sought.
c) The Deputy Board Chair is currently remunerated
the same as a Non-Executive Director. The Company
wishes to increase the remuneration for the Deputy
Board Chair to reflect the additional work associated
with that role. Addressing this issue accounts for less
than 2% of the total increase sought. It is noted that
the current Deputy Board Chair is also Chair of the
People and Remuneration Committee and a member
of the Audit Committee and the Risk and Assurance
Committee and is proposed to be remunerated for
these three roles in the same manner as other Non-
Executive Directors.
d) The Company wishes to offer competitive fees
in order to attract and retain the highest quality
directors – and is seeking to move Board Chair and
Non Executive Director base fees from a below market
position to a level that is at or about the median of the
market. Addressing this issue accounts for just over
18% of the total increase sought. To be noted is that
the Board Chair is a member of the Audit Committee,
Risk and Assurance Committee and People and
Remuneration Committee, however is not proposed
to be remunerated for these three roles.
e) Increasing governance requirements and regulatory
requirements on the Company’s business continue
to increase the workload on directors. The Company
also wishes to have the scope to pay additional fees
to directors for significant additional attendances and
projects as is the norm in the market. The “headroom”
provided for in the total fee pool sought ($17,020 by
year two) accounts for just over 6% of the increase
sought.
f) Based on PwC’s benchmarking report:
i. the Company director fees are positioned below
the median of the peer group market data in all
respects;
ii. the absence of fees for committee chairs and
committee members is a notable difference from
most of the peer group;
iii. an increase in the total current actual directors’
fees of 33% is required to generally bring the fees
to be aligned with the median of the market over
2 financial years (noting that the market median is
likely to move in that period); and
iv. the vast majority of the NZX-50 utilise director
fee pools for the management of non-executive
director fees including headroom and flexibility
to remunerate directors for significant additional
attendances and accordingly the Company’s
current approach is unusual relative to market.
The PwC benchmarking report suggests that
companies typically pay out approximately 80%
of their approved fee pool, and as a consequence
the less than 2% headroom by year two proposed
by the Company is a lower percentage of the pool
than is typical.
The proposed change to an annual director fee pool,
and increase in directors’ remuneration, is therefore
consistent with the market information outlined in the
benchmarking report received from PwC.
For these reasons, the proposed change to an
annual director fee pool, and increase in directors’
remuneration, has the unanimous support of the Board.

NZ RegCo Waiver:
On 30 June 2019 NZ RegCo granted the Company a
waiver from NZX Listing Rule 6.3.1, to the extent that
Entrust would otherwise be prohibited from voting
in favour of resolutions on director fees. The waiver
renewed a similar waiver granted under previous listing
rules.
The waiver granted is subject to the following
conditions:
a) The Company’s People and Remuneration
Committee commission an independent expert’s
report on the appropriate remuneration level for
directors’ remuneration.
b) There is no distinction between the directors’ fees
payable to the directors who are trustees of Entrust
and the other directors, based solely on whether or
not a director is a trustee of Entrust.
c) The independent members of the Company’s People
and Remuneration Committee provide a certificate to
NZ RegCo stating that:
i. the proposed directors’ fees were set on an arm’s
length and commercial basis; and
ii. the proposed level of directors’ remuneration
is consistent with the level suggested in the
independent expert’s report.
d) Entrust provides written confirmation to NZ RegCo
that:
iii. no trustee of Entrust who has been nominated
to be elected as a director of the Company at this
Annual Meeting or who is currently a director
of the Company and will either continue to be a
director immediately following the Annual Meeting
or will stand for re-election as a director of the
Company at the Annual Meeting will take part in
any decision of the trustees of Entrust on whether
to abstain, or vote for or against, any resolution in
respect of directors’ remuneration; and
iv. neither Entrust nor any Associated Person of
Entrust (other than trustees of Entrust who
are directors of the Company) will receive any
direct or indirect benefit arising from Directors’
remuneration payable by the Company.
e) Details of the waiver, the conditions imposed by NZ
RegCo, the independent expert’s recommendation
and the People and Remuneration Committee’s
certificate, are included in this notice of meeting.
The Company has complied with all such conditions,
and confirms that the independent members of the
People and Remuneration Committee have provided,
and Entrust has been requested to provide, the required
confirmation to NZ RegCo.
NZ RegCo has granted the above waiver on an ongoing
basis, so that it applies to all resolutions, provided that
the above conditions are satisfied and the material facts
on which the waiver is based, and NZX Listing Rules,
remain the same.

HOW TO VOTE ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS
All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.
APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
1. All registered shareholders as at 5.00pm on Monday 26 September
2022 are entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting or to appoint a
proxy or a representative (in the case of a corporate shareholder)
to attend and vote on their behalf:
(a) a proxy need not be a shareholder of Vector Limited (the
“Company”);
(b) if you wish, you may appoint the “Chair of the Meeting” as your
proxy;
(c) if the shares are held jointly, the appointment of the proxy is on
behalf of each joint holder;
(d) the person signing this form represents and warrants it is duly
authorised to do so.
2. If the shares are held jointly, the voting instructions given are on
behalf of each joint holder.
3. The Chair of the Meeting at the Annual Meeting is normally the Chair
of the Vector Board, or, in his absence, another director of Vector. If a
shareholder wishes to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy
and direct how their proxy is to vote, the shareholder should tick the
“for” or “against” or “abstain” box in respect of the relevant resolution.
If a shareholder leaves the “for” and “against” and “abstain” boxes for
any resolution blank, the Chair of the Meeting who has been
appointed as the shareholder’s proxy will be able to exercise the
shareholder’s vote on that resolution at their discretion.
4. If a shareholder appoints any director of Vector as their proxy, and
does not direct the director appointed as proxy how to vote, their vote
will be exercisable by that director at that director’s discretion.
5. If, in appointing a proxy, you have inadvertently not named someone to
be your proxy (either online or on this proxy form), or your named proxy
does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your
proxy and will vote in accordance with your express direction.
ELECTRONIC VOTING
You can appoint a proxy to cast your vote electronically by accessing
InvestorVote (www.investorvote.co.nz) in accordance with the above
instructions. Use this option if you will NOT be attending the Meeting and
wish to lodge your proxy electronically. Do not return this form if you have
lodged your proxy using InvestorVote.
