Election of Directors
Under NZX Main Board Listing Rule 2.7.1, and in
accordance with the Company’s Constitution, all
directors must not hold office (without re-election) past
the third annual meeting of shareholders following the
director’s appointment, or three years, whichever is the

Biographical details for the directors proposed to be re-

Managing Director and Executive Director, Mr Steven
Carden retires by rotation pursuant to NZX Main Board
Listing Rule 2.7.1 and offers himself for election. As
this is the first annual meeting of shareholders since
Steven was appointed to the Board, Steven is required
to retire and does offer himself for election. Steven
joined the Board of Delegat Group Limited in January
2022 as Managing Director. Steven is responsible for
developing growth plans, building a high-performance
organisation and executing on Board approved
business plans. Steven has previously held roles in
McKinsey & Co. in New York, Managing Director of PGG
Wrightson Australia and most recently Chief Executive
Officer of Pãmu (Landcorp Farming Ltd) where he led
transformation to a diversified, integrated food and
fibre business over eight years. Steven also brings
to Delegat his strategic thinking capability, expertise
in growing international businesses and a focus on
creating an environment where people can achieve
their potential. Steven has a Master of Business
Administration degree from Harvard Business School

University of Auckland. Steven is a member of the
Institute of Directors.
Gordon MacLeod is a Non-Executive Director of

EXPLANATORY NOTE 3
Director’s Fees
This resolution is to put to shareholders in accordance
with NZX Listing Rule 2.11.1 and relates to the maximum
aggregate fees payable to all non-executive directors.
At present the maximum fee pool for non-executive
directors is set at $495,000 per annum, as approved by
shareholders at the Company’s 2021 annual meeting.
The Delegat Board is recommending an increase in
that fee pool by $235,000 (being an increase of 47%)
to $730,000 per annum. The increase in the fee pool
is to accommodate increasing the pool by 50% for two
non-executive directors, being the appointment of a
new non-executive independent director appointed
to a casual vacancy on the board since the last annual
shareholder meeting and the recently announced
change that Jim Delegat is to transition from Executive
Director to Non-Executive Director. The Delegat Board
is not recommending any increase in the payments to
either the Chair or Directors.
In summary, Delegat’s Board is seeking the approval
of shareholders to increase the fee pool for two new
non-executive directors. The director remuneration is
broken down in table one.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 4
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

the fees and expenses of Deloitte 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
