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

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.
