Explanatory Notes
Resolution 1 & 2: Re-election of Directors
The NZX Listing Rules prohibit a director from holding office (without re-election) for longer than 3 years or 3 annual
meetings, whichever is longer. If a director is eligible, he or she may offer himself or herself for re-election by
shareholders at the meeting.
The NZX Listing Rules require the Board to identify which directors it determines to be Independent Directors
having regard to factors described in the NZX Corporate Governance Code (the “NZX Code”).
The NZX Code states the materiality of any interest, position, association, or relationship needs to be assessed to
determine whether it might interfere, or might reasonably be seen to interfere, with the director’s capacity to bring
an independent judgment to bear on issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of the Company and
to represent the interests of its shareholders generally. It is noted that some advisers who provide voting advice to
institutional shareholders assess the independence of directors differently to the NZX Code and therefore reach
different conclusions on the independence of directors.
David Cushing
David was appointed to the Skellerup Holdings Board in August 2017.
David is Executive Chairman of Rural Equities Limited and Managing Director of private investment company
H&G Limited.
David is a former investment banker with over 25 years’ experience as a director of listed companies. David
has expertise across a broad range of industries having previously been a director of Fruitfed Supplies Limited,
Williams & Kettle Limited, Tourism Holdings Limited, Acurity Health Group Limited, PGG Wrightson Limited, Red
Steel Limited, Webster Limited and NPT Limited.
David is a member of the Audit, Health and Safety, Remuneration and Nomination Committees.
For the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules, the Board has determined that David Cushing is an independent director.
Paul Shearer
Paul was appointed to the Skellerup Holdings Board in August 2020.
Paul is Senior Vice President – Sales and Marketing for Fisher & Paykel Healthcare. Paul has global business
experience spanning thirty years with proven success growing international markets and leading multi-disciplinary
teams across 50 countries.
Paul is a member of the Health & Safety, Sustainability and Remuneration Committees.
For the purposes of the NZX Listing Rules, the Board has determined that Paul Shearer is an independent director.
Resolution 3: Remuneration of Auditors
The current auditors of the Company, Ernst & Young, will be automatically reappointed as the Company’s auditor
under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. Under section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 auditors’ fees and
expenses must be fixed in the manner determined at the meeting. Shareholder approval
is therefore sought for the Board to fix Ernst & Young’s remuneration for the following year.
