Proxies and Voting
Any shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the
meeting may appoint a proxy instead to attend, in person

A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A body
corporate that is a shareholder may appoint a representative
to attend and vote on its behalf in the same manner as it can
appoint a proxy.
The Chair of the Company is willing to act as proxy for
any shareholder who wishes to appoint her for that purpose.
The Chair intends to vote any undirected proxies in favour of
the resolutions.
If you wish to appoint a proxy, please review the proxy form
which provides information on how to make this appointment.
For your vote or proxy appointment to be effective, it must
be received by the share registrar, Computershare Investor
Services Limited, in accordance with the instructions set out
on the form not less than 48 hours before the start of the
meeting – that is, by 2.00pm on Wednesday 23 August 2023.
Each resolution is to be considered as an ordinary resolution,
requiring a simple majority of the votes of those shareholders
entitled to vote and voting.
Explanatory Notes
Resolution 1: Re-election of Elizabeth Coutts
Under rule 2.7.1 of the NZX Listing Rules a Director must not
hold office (without being re-elected) past the third annual
meeting following that Director’s appointment or 3 years,
whichever is longer. In this case, Elizabeth Coutts offers
herself for re-election as a Director of the Company.
The Board has determined that, in its view, if re-elected,
Elizabeth Coutts will continue to be an independent Director
for the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules. Elizabeth Coutts
stands for re-election with the support of the other Directors
of the Company.
Elizabeth Coutts (ONZM, BMS, FCA) has been a Director of
Oceania since 5 November 2014 and was appointed Chair in
2014. Liz is also the Chair of EBOS Group Limited and Voyage
Digital (NZ) Limited trading as Two Degrees. Liz is a Fellow of
Chartered Accountants Australia and New Zealand.
Liz is a past President of the Institute of Directors NZ Inc
and was made an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit
in 2016. She has previously been Chief Executive of Caxton
Group, Chairman of Skellerup Holdings Limited, Meritec
Group Limited, Industrial Research Limited, Life Pharmacy
Limited and Ports of Auckland Limited, Deputy Chairman
of Public Trust, and a Commissioner of both the Commerce
Commission and Earthquake Commission. She has been a
Director of Sanford Limited, Ravensdown Fertiliser Cooperative,
the Health Funding Authority, PHARMAC, Air New Zealand,
Sport and Recreation New Zealand and Trust Bank New
Zealand, and a member of both the Financial Reporting
Standards Board of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered
Accountants and the Monetary Policy Committee of the
Reserve Bank of New Zealand.
Liz is a member of all Board Committees.
Auditor’s Remuneration
Resolution 2: Auditor’s Remuneration
The current auditor of the Company, PricewaterhouseCoopers,
will be automatically reappointed as the Company’s auditor
under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993.
As a matter of good governance practice, a formal request for
proposal (RFP) process is currently underway for the provision
of external audit services for the financial year ended 31 March
2024. If, following completion of the RFP process, the Board
resolves to appoint a new external auditor, the Company
will release a market announcement pursuant to NZX Listing
Rule 3.20.1 and the appointment of the new auditor (if any)
will be the subject of an ordinary resolution at the 2024
Annual Meeting.
Under section 207S of the Companies Act 1993, the auditor’s
fees and expenses must be fixed in the manner that is
determined at the Annual Meeting. Shareholder approval
is therefore sought for the directors to fix the auditor’s
remuneration for the following year.
For and on behalf of the Board
Elizabeth Coutts
Chair, Oceania Healthcare Limited

agenda, the proxy may vote or abstain from voting on that matter as he or she
thinks fit. If you do not name a person as your proxy or your named proxy does
