Explanatory Notes
In these explanatory notes, references to “Listing Rules”

are to the NZX Listing Rules. Resolutions 1 to 3 are Ordinary

Resolutions and require approval by a simple majority

(greater than 50%) of the votes of those shareholders

entitled to vote and voting on the resolution.

Resolution 1:

Auditor’s Remuneration

Under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993, KPMG is

automatically reappointed as the auditor of the company.

This resolution authorises the board to fix the fees and

expenses of the auditor in accordance with section 207S

of the Companies Act 1993.

Re-Election of Directors

The Listing Rules provide that a director must not hold

office (without re-election) past the third annual meeting

after his or her appointment or re-election, or for three

years, whichever is longer. Accordingly, Chris Ellis and Steve

Reindler retire by rotation and, being eligible, have offered

themselves for re-election.

The board has a skills matrix which identifies the skill set

which the board believes adds value to Steel & Tube. Directors’

capabilities are considered as a collective against this skills

matrix and the board believes that the current directors

offer valuable and complementary skill sets. Importantly,

the majority of Steel & Tube’s directors have either worked

in or are involved in directorships in the sector.
