a non-executive director of Serko Limited.

2. That the directors are authorised to fix the fees

and expenses of Deloitte as auditor for the 2024

See explanatory notes on each of these

resolutions below.

The Board recommends unanimously that you vote

C. General Business and Shareholder Discussion

To consider any other matter that may be brought

By Order of the Serko Board

Explanatory Notes
Resolution 1:

Re-election of Claudia Batten as a Director

Claudia Batten was first appointed as a director of Serko

in April 2014 and was last re-elected in August 2020.

She is the Chair of the Serko Board and a member of the

Audit, Risk and Sustainability Committee and People,

Remuneration and Culture Committee.

In accordance with the applicable NZX Listing Rules,

Claudia retires by rotation and offers herself for

re-election as a director of Serko at the meeting.

The Board unanimously supports Claudia’s re-election

and considers that she qualifies as an independent

director under the applicable NZX Listing Rules.

Claudia Batten

Independent Non-Executive Director, Chair

Claudia holds an LLB (Hons) and BCA from Victoria

University (Wellington). She is a currently a director of

Air New Zealand and Vista Group and was previously a

digital adviser to the Board of Westpac New Zealand.

Claudia has been a founding member of two highly

successful entrepreneurial ventures. The first venture

was Massive Incorporated, a network for advertising

in video games, where she helped pioneer ‘digital’ as

a media buy. Massive was sold to Microsoft in 2006.

In 2009, she co-founded Victors & Spoils (‘V&S’),

the first advertising agency built on the principles of

crowdsourcing. V&S was majority acquired by French

holding company Havas Worldwide in 2011. Claudia is

a strong supporter of the New Zealand start-up scene

as an active mentor and adviser.

Resolution 2:

Fixing the Fees and Expenses of the Auditor

Deloitte are currently Serko’s auditors and will be

automatically reappointed under the Companies Act

1993 to act as auditor for the 2024 financial year.

Under the Companies Act 1993, auditor fees and

expenses must be fixed in the manner determined at

the Annual Meeting. Shareholder approval is therefore

sought to authorise the Board to fix the fees and

expenses of Deloitte as auditor.

The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Serko Limited (the “Company”) will be held at the offices of Link Market Services Limited, Level 30, PwC Tower, 15 Customs

Street West, Auckland and online via the Link Market Services Limited online portal at www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/sko23 on Wednesday, 28 June 2023 commencing

at 2.00pm (New Zealand time). If you will be attending online, you will require your Holder Number for verification purposes.

Appointment of proxy

A shareholder of the Company who is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of him/her. If you appoint

a proxy, you may still attend the meeting (but will not be able to vote if your proxy also attends the meeting). A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.

Any 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. If you do not name a person as your proxy or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair will be appointed your proxy and

may only vote in accordance with your express direction.


Voting of your holding

If you appoint a proxy you must either direct the proxy how to vote by ticking the “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” box in respect of each resolution OR by ticking the

‘Proxy Discretion’ box in respect of each resolution. If you do not tick a box your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on a resolution

your vote will be invalid on that resolution. If you tick the ‘Proxy Discretion’ box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy to decide how to vote on

that resolution on your behalf. If you tick the ‘Abstain’ box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy not to vote on that resolution. If a proxy does not

vote on your behalf on a resolution, your votes will not be counted when calculating the majority of that resolution.


The Chair of the meeting or any director is willing to act as proxy for any shareholder who appoints him/her for that purpose. If you tick the ‘Proxy Discretion’ box,

you acknowledge that they may exercise your proxy even if they have an interest in the outcome of that resolution (subject to any restrictions contained in the NZX

Listing Rules). The Chair and directors intend to vote all discretionary proxies in favour of all the resolutions, even if they have an interest in any of the resolutions.


Voting Restrictions

No voting restrictions apply to the resolutions being considered at the meeting.
