EXPLANATORY Notes
NOTE ON RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
Tenure has become an increasing focus, in recent times, in the consideration of director
independence. Mainf reight values its long-standing directors, who continue to focus their
signif icant knowledge and experience of the Company towards critically robust discussion
and strategic direction.
Director relationships with management are reviewed as part of the Board’s wider annual
performance review process. Directors must be ready to challenge management, not be
entrenched in their thinking, and be capable of unbiased decision making.
The Board recognises the need for balance and diversity at the Board table, and its more
recent director appointments have ensured added perspective and a broader skill base.
The Board continues to look for suitable director candidates who will add value to the
Company.
Resolution 1
RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTOR
In accordance with NZX Main Board Listing Rule 2.7.1,
Bryan Mogridge retires by rotation and being eligible, offers
himself for re-election. The Board unanimously recommends
that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of
Bryan Modgridge. He is considered by the Board to be an
independent director.
Bryan Mogridge
Bryan Mogridge was f irst appointed as a Director of the Board
in 2003, and last re-elected at the 2020 Annual Shareholders’
Meeting. Bryan’s intellect and breadth of experience (both in
executive and board roles) are evidenced by his sound practical
guidance which is valued highly both by his fellow directors and
the Company’s management team.
Resolution 2
AUDITOR
EY is automatically reappointed at the annual meeting as the auditor of the Company under
section 207T of the Companies Act. This resolution authorises the Board to f ix the fees and
expenses of the auditor.
The Directors recommend that shareholders vote to approve Resolution 2.
