A shareholder may appoint “The Chair of the Meeting” as Proxy. Where a direction is not given to the Chairperson as to
how to cast the vote on any Resolution (an undirected proxy), the Chairperson intends to vote in favour of Resolutions 1,
2 and 3. If, in appointing a proxy (i.e. you mark any of the PROXY DISCRETION boxes in Step 1 of the Proxy/Voting Form),
you inadvertently do not name someone to be your proxy in Step 2 of the Proxy/Voting Form, or your named proxy
does not attend the meeting, the Chairperson will be your proxy and will vote in accordance with your express direction.
A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
A corporation may appoint a person to attend the meeting as its representative in the same manner as that in which it
may appoint a proxy.
Explanatory Notes
Explanatory note 1 – Re-election of Director (Resolution 1)
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, Peter Cullinane is required to retire (having held office since 2019 as an independent director of the
Company). Being eligible, Peter Cullinane has offered himself for re-election.
The Board considers that Peter Cullinane will be an independent director for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules if
re-elected to the Board.
Peter is widely respected within the global advertising and marketing fields, and has extensive knowledge and
expertise in both Australasian and global markets. He is a member of both the NZ Marketing and Advertising Halls
of Fame, the former Chief Operating Officer of Saatchi & Saatchi (Worldwide), and its former Chief Executive Officer
(New Zealand) and Chairman (Australasia). Peter was the founder of Lewis Road Creamery Limited and has held
various listed company directorships.
The Board supports the re-election of Peter Cullinane and recommends that shareholders vote in favour
of Resolution 1.
Explanatory note 2 - Election of Director (Resolution 2)
In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, a director appointed by the Board must not hold office (without
election) past the next annual meeting following that director’s appointment.
Accordingly, David Mair is required to retire (having been appointed by the Board on 7 November 2022 as an
independent director of the Company). Being eligible, David Mair has offered himself for election.
The Board considers that David Mair will be an independent director for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules if
elected to the Board.
David has been CEO of NZX listed Skellerup Holdings Limited since 2011, and a director since 2006. During his leader-
ship, Skellerup has achieved significant revenue and earnings growth by focusing on designing and delivering critical
engineered products for OEM customers. David is also a director of Forté Funds Management Limited.
He holds a degree in civil engineering and an MBA from Canterbury University.
The Board supports the election of David Mair and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Explanatory note 3 – Fixing of auditor’s fees and expenses (Resolution 3)
KPMG is the current auditor of the Company and has indicated its willingness to continue in office. Pursuant to
section 207T of the Companies Act 1993 of New Zealand, KPMG is automatically reappointed at the annual meeting
as auditor of the Company. The proposed resolution is to authorise the Board to fix the auditors’ remuneration for
the following year for the purposes of section 207S of the Companies Act 1993.

proxies marked PROXY DISCRETION in favour of all resolutions.
