Voting and proxies

The persons who will be entitled to vote at the Meeting are

those persons who are registered on Seeka’s share register as

holding fully paid ordinary shares in Seeka on Tuesday, 18 April

2023 at 5:00pm. The Chair advises that, pursuant to Seeka’s

constitution, he will call for voting on all resolutions to be by

way of a poll, meaning that each Shareholder has one vote for

each share held.

All the Resolutions are ordinary resolutions and must be

passed by a simple majority of the votes of those Shareholders

entitled to vote and voting on the Resolutions.

Every Shareholder, or that Shareholder’s proxy or

representative, is entitled to attend the Meeting, either at the

venue or online, and vote.

Any Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting

may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on that Shareholder’s

behalf. The proxy need not be a Shareholder. You may appoint

the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy. If you appoint the

Chair of the Meeting as your proxy and do not direct the Chair

how to vote in the proxy form, the Chair will vote discretionary

proxies in favour of all Resolutions.

A corporation that is a Shareholder may appoint a person as

its representative to attend the meeting and vote on its behalf,

in the same manner as that in which it could appoint a proxy.

A proxy form accompanies this Notice of Meeting. If you

are unable to attend the Meeting in person or online, please

complete the Proxy Form and return it in the reply-paid

envelope provided to (Link Market Services, PO Box 91976,

validate your holding online before shareholding information

A Shareholder will be taken to have signed the Proxy Form by

The appointment of a proxy or representative does not

preclude a Shareholder from attending and voting at the

Meeting.

Independence of Directors

The Board have considered whether the director seeking

re-election (Cecilia Tarrant) and the director seeking election

(Hayden Cartwright) would qualify as independent directors

under the NZX Listing Rules (the "Rules"), and Seeka's Board

Charter.

Under the Rules, the Board must determine and identify

whether the directors would qualify as independent directors.

In making its determinations, the Board has had regard to the

non-exhaustive factors described in recommendation 2.4 of

the NZX Corporate Governance Code (see www.nzx.com/

regulation/nzx-rules-guidance/corporate-governance-code).

In addition, under Seeka's Board Charter, a director is deemed

to be non-independent if he or she:

– is, or is associated (directly or indirectly) with, a

shareholder holding 5% or more of the shares on

issue in the Company and is as a result likely to derive

a substantial portion of his or her income from that

relationship; or

– is an executive of the Company.

For the purposes of the Rules and Seeka's Board Charter, in the

Board's view:

– if Cecilia Tarrant is re-elected as a director, she will

qualify as an independent director;

– if Hayden Cartwright is elected as a director, he will not

qualify as an independent director.

The re-election and election of the above directors is

consistent with the Board’s policy of director tenure as set out

in the Board Charter.

By order of the Board
