RESOLUTION 1
Re-election of Director

That Barry Einsig, having retired in

accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1,

be re-elected as a Director of EROAD.

RESOLUTION 2

Auditor Remuneration

That the Directors be authorised to fix

the fees and expenses of KPMG as the

auditor of EROAD.

Explanatory Note 1

Under Listing Rule 2.7.1 of the NZX Listing Rules, and

in accordance with clause 27 of the constitution of

EROAD, a Director must not hold office (without re-

election) past the third annual meeting following the

Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

If the Director is eligible, they may offer themselves for

re-election by shareholders at the third annual meeting

following their appointment. In this case, Barry Einsig

retires and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election

by shareholders at this Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

Barry Einsig is a Non-Executive Director who the Board

considers to be an Independent Director, as described

in the NZX Listing Rules and taking into account the

factors in Table 2.4 of the NZX Corporate Governance

Code dated 1 April 2023. A brief biography outlining

Barry Einsig’s history and experience is set out below.

At the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, a resolution to re-

elect Barry Einsig will be put to shareholders. The Board

recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the

election of Barry Einsig.

Explanatory Note 2

KPMG is automatically reappointed as the auditor of

EROAD under section 207T of the Companies Act

1993. Pursuant to section 207S of the Companies Act

1993, this resolution authorises the Board to fix the fees

and expenses of the auditor. The Board recommends

that shareholders vote in favour of authorising the

Directors to fix the fees and expenses of KPMG as the

auditor of EROAD.

A representative from KPMG will attend the Annual

Shareholders’ Meeting, and will be available to answer

any questions shareholders may have in relation to

the audit.

RESOLUTION 3

Non-Binding Say On Pay Vote

That EROAD’s Remuneration Report for

the year ended 31 March 2023, as set out

in the FY23 Annual Report, be adopted.

Explanatory Note 3

A change to the Australian Corporations Act (Cth) 2001

in 2011 required companies listed on the ASX to include

a non-binding resolution enabling shareholders to vote

on the adoption of a company’s annual Remuneration

Report. The Australian Say on Pay regime includes

a “two-strike” rule. The two-strike rule provides that

if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution to

adopt the Remuneration Report at two consecutive

Annual Shareholders’ Meetings are against adopting

the Remuneration Report, shareholders will have the

opportunity to vote on a “spill resolution” at the second

Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. In these circumstances,

the spill resolution will be put to shareholders at

the second Annual Shareholders’ Meeting as a

contingent resolution which will only be voted on if the

Remuneration Report is not adopted at the second

Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. The spill resolution will ask

shareholders to vote on whether the company must hold

another Shareholders’ Meeting to consider spilling the

Board (known as a “spill meeting”). The outcome of the

spill resolution is binding. If the spill resolution is approved

by a simple majority of 50% or more of the eligible votes

cast, the spill meeting must be held within 90 days. At the

spill meeting, those individuals who were Directors when

the Remuneration Report was considered at the most

recent Annual Shareholders’ Meeting will be required to

stand for re-election (other than the Managing Director,

should the company have one).

As a New Zealand registered company, EROAD is not

required to comply with the Corporations Act. However,

the Board has determined that as it seeks to continually

improve its governance in accordance with evolving

international best practice, it should offer shareholders

the opportunity to vote on the Remuneration Report

and to call a spill meeting in accordance with the

Australian Say on Pay regime.

EROAD has presented a Remuneration Report to

shareholders for the year ended 31 March 2023 in the

FY23 Annual Report. At the Annual Shareholders’

Meeting a resolution to adopt the Remuneration

Report for the year ended 31 March 2023 will be

put to shareholders. The Board recommends that

shareholders vote in favour of the adoption of EROAD’s

Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 March 2023,

as set out in the FY23 Annual Report.

The outcome of the vote regarding the adoption

of EROAD’s Remuneration Report at this Annual

Shareholders’ Meeting will be non-binding. The Say on

Pay resolution at the previous Annual Shareholders’

Meeting was passed by a special resolution of

shareholders and EROAD’s Remuneration Report was

adopted. Accordingly, no spill resolution will be put to

shareholders at this year’s Annual Shareholders’ Meeting.

Consistent with the Australian Say on Pay regime, no vote

may be cast on the resolution by the individuals whose

remuneration is detailed in the Remuneration Report or

any closely related party (as defined in the Corporations

Act) of them, provided that directed proxy votes may be

cast by those persons and undirected proxy votes may

be cast by the Chair of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting,

in either case where appointed as proxy on behalf of any

shareholder who is not prohibited from voting.

The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 124 to

143 of EROAD’s FY23 Annual Report, which can be

accessed on our website at www.eroadglobal.com/

global/investors/.

MEETING DETAILS
Procedural Notes

a. The persons who will be entitled to vote on the resolutions at the Annual

Shareholders’ Meeting are those persons who will be the shareholders of

EROAD at 5pm on Wednesday 26 July 2023.

b. A shareholder may vote at the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting either in

person or by proxy. A body corporate which is a shareholder may appoint

a representative to attend the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting on its behalf

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

c. A proxy need not be a shareholder of EROAD. A shareholder who wishes

to do so may appoint the Chairman of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting

to act as proxy.

d. A proxy will vote as directed in the proxy form or, if voting is left to

the proxy’s discretion, then the proxy will decide how to vote on the

resolutions. Where the Chairman is appointed as proxy and voting is left

to his discretion, the Chairman intends to vote in favour of all resolutions

including the Say on Pay regime.

e. A proxy form is enclosed and, if used, must be lodged with the share

registrar, Computershare Investor Services Limited, in accordance with

the instructions set out on the form not less than 48 hours before the

time of the holding of the meeting.

f. Resolutions 1 and 2 must be passed by an ordinary resolution of

shareholders, i.e., by a simple majority of the votes of those shareholders

entitled to vote and voting on the resolution in person or by proxy.

g. Resolution 3 is non-binding, but is a special resolution and will be passed

if more than 75% of those shareholders entitled to vote and voting on

the resolution in person or by proxy vote in favour. Consistent with the

Australian Say on Pay regime, no vote may be cast on Resolution 3 by the

individuals whose remuneration is detailed in the Remuneration Report

or any closely related party of them, provided that directed proxy votes

may be cast by those persons and undirected proxy votes may be cast by

the Chairman of the Annual Shareholders’ Meeting, in either case where

appointed as proxy on behalf of any shareholder who is not prohibited

from voting.

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your shares will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

If you do not plan to attend the meeting, you may appoint a proxy by completing

and signing ‘Step 1’ of the Proxy Form and lodge it with Computershare Investor

Services Limited. A proxy can be any person of your choice and does not have

to be a shareholder of EROAD Limited. If you return this form without appointing a

proxy or signing it, your Proxy Form will be invalid.

The Chairman of the meeting, or any other director, is willing to act as proxy

for any shareholder who wishes to appoint him or her for that purpose.

To do this, enter ‘the Chairman’ or the name of your proxy in the space allocated

in ‘Step 1’ of this form. If you inadvertently do not name a proxy, or your named

proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair will be your proxy and vote in

accordance with your expressed direction. Alternatively, you can appoint a proxy

online at www.investorvote.co.nz.

Voting of your holding

Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item

of business.

If you tick the box “discretion” on any resolution, you are directing your proxy or

representative to decide how to vote on that resolution on your behalf. If you

tick the “abstain” box on any resolution, you are directing your proxy or

representative not to vote on that resolution. If you return this Proxy Form

without a direction as to how to vote on any resolution, or if you tick more than

one box in relation to any resolution, the vote on that resolution will be treated

as “discretion” and your proxy will exercise his/her discretion as to whether to

vote and, if so, how. The Chairman intends to vote discretionary proxies in favour

of Resolutions 1 and 2 and in favour of the Say on Pay Vote.

Voting Restrictions

Consistent with the Australian Say on Pay regime, no vote may be cast on the

Say on Pay Vote by the individuals whose remuneration is detailed in the

Remuneration Report or any related party of them, provided that directed proxy

votes may be cast by those persons and undirected proxy votes may be cast by
