The persons who will be entitled to vote at the Meeting are those persons (or their proxies or

or by appointing a proxy to attend and vote in their place. A proxy need not be a shareholder
of Savor. The Chair of the meeting is willing to act as proxy for any shareholder who may wish

corporate shareholder may appoint a representative to attend the meeting on its behalf.

platform, a completed proxy form, or by email. Savor will aggregate the main themes of the
questions received by 10:00am on Monday 18 September 2023, and respond to them at the
Annual Meeting. This means that not every question submitted will be answered individually and
some questions may be covered in the Chair’s Address or CEO’s Address.
Explanatory Notes
P4SAVOR LIMITEDNOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING
Resolutions
RESOLUTION 1:
Election of Bhupen Master
Bhupen Master was appointed to the Board in September 2023 and therefore offers himself for
re-election by shareholders at the 2023 Annual Meeting. Bhupen is currently Chair of the Audit
& Risk Committee.
Bhupen Master has spent his extensive career working with some of the top financial
institutions worldwide. Bhupen was most recently an Executive Director of Goldman Sachs with
extensive experience in global markets covering institutional investors and was instrumental
in leading numerous capital raisings during his time. Prior to this, Bhupen spent over 20 years
working in New Zealand, Australia and the United Kingdom for Credit Suisse, Merrill Lynch
and Deustche Bank. Bhupen’s extensive experience in the capital markets and strategic
transactions strengthens the Board’s diverse skills and experience, and are essential to assist
in guiding the Group as it continues on its growth trajectory. Bhupen will assume the role of
Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee.
The Board considers Bhupen to be an Independent Director and unanimously recommends
that shareholders vote in favour of his election.
RESOLUTION 2:
Auditors Remuneration
EY are currently Savor’s auditors and will be automatically reappointed under section 207(T)(1)
of the Companies Act 1993. Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 provides that the fees and
expenses of EY as auditor are to be fixed in such a manner determined at the Annual Meeting.
Shareholder approval is, therefore, sought to authorise the Board to fix the fees and expenses
of EY as auditor.
