Explanatory notes

Resolution 1: Approval of Board fixing remuneration of auditor

Grant Thornton is automatically re-appointed as IKE’s auditor under section 207T of the

Companies Act 1993. Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 details the basis on how the

fees and expenses of the auditor shall be set. To provide flexibility, your directors recommend

that they be authorised to determine the fees and expenses of the auditors.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Mr Glenn Milnes

In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, a director must not hold office (without re-election)

past the third annual meeting following that director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is

longer. Accordingly, Mr Glenn Milnes is required to retire (having held office since 2014 as the

managing director of the Company). Being eligible, Mr Glenn Milnes has offered himself for re-

election.

As Mr Glenn Milnes is the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, he will not be an independent

director for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules if re-elected to the Board.

Mr. Glenn Milnes has been the managing director of IKE since 2013. Prior to leading IKE, he held

senior executive, strategy and corporate development positions with Cable & Wireless

International and No. 8 Ventures.

The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Mr Glenn Milnes.

Resolution 3: Non-executive director fee pool

An increase in non-executive directors’ remuneration requires shareholder approval by ordinary

resolution, in accordance with the NZX Listing Rules. The existing maximum aggregate non-

executive director fee pool of $320,000 and the method of remuneration has not changed since

the Company’s IPO in 2014.

The Company’s policy is to offer competitive non-executive director fees to attract and retain

high quality and appropriately skilled Directors, who will best add value to the Company and its

growth strategy. Furthermore, the Company recognises that they need to attract not only New

Zealand-based directors but also suitably qualified US-based directors, which is the Company’s

primary market of operation.

In line with this policy objective, of the Company’s five non-executive directors today three are

based in the US (Alex Knowles, Eileen Healy and Fred Lax) and two are based in New Zealand

(Mark Ratcliffe and Rick Christie). Glenn Milnes, being the managing director, is also based in the

US.

To reflect current fee levels for non-executive directors in both the US and New Zealand market,

the Board has determined that the approved pool should be increased by $230,000, from

$320,000 (which was set in 2014 and has not been reviewed since) to $550,000. This is a 72%

increase from the level established in 2014. As noted, in determining this increase the Board has

reviewed market rates in both the US and New Zealand environments, acknowledging that

market rates paid for directors in the US are materially higher than those in New Zealand.

In connection with this increase, the Board seeks shareholder approval to have discretion to pay

remuneration to non-executive directors either in part or in whole by way of an issue of fully paid


Page | 5


ordinary shares in the Company, provided that any issue occurs in compliance with NZX Listing

Rule 4.7.

The Board believes that the proposed fee pool for non-executive directors’ remuneration is fair

and reasonable to the Company and to the shareholders and will help to attract and retain highly

qualified directors to the Board. If approved, the increased fee pool would apply from 1 October

2022.

If approved, the Board intends to allocate the increased pool of non-executive directors’ fees as

set out in the below table. However, the Board may, at its discretion, change the allocations

within the aggregate fee pool as the Board deems appropriate from time to time.

Role Proposed Fees post

shareholder approval

Chair $130,000

Non-executive director $90,000

Committee Chair $15,000

Committee member $10,000


Non-Executive Director Role Proposed Fees post

Mark Ratcliffe Audit and Risk Committee member

& Nominations and Risk Committee

member

$110,000

Rick Christie Non-executive director $90,000

Total Proposed Fees $550,000


If shareholder approval is not obtained for this resolution, then fees for all non-executive

directors would continue to be limited to the existing fee cap of $320,000.

Under NZX Listing Rule 6.3.1, the non-executive directors and their Associated Persons (as that

term is defined in the NZX Listing Rules) are precluded from voting in respect of this Resolution.

This does not however prevent a non-executive director who has been appointed as a proxy or a

voting representative by another person who is not disqualified from voting, or an Associated

Person of a non-executive director, from voting in respect of the shares held by that other

person in accordance with the express instructions of that other person.

The Chair and directors intend to vote all discretionary

proxies in favour of Resolution 1 & 2. If you appoint the Chair

or any other non-executive director or any of their Associated

Persons (as that term is defined in the NZX Listing Rules) as your

your express instructions on Resolution 3 and will not

exercise discretion on that resolution.
