Annual

Meeting


2024

Gentrack Group Limited

Dear Shareholder
I invite you to the annual

shareholder meeting of Gentrack

Group Limited (“Gentrack”) on

Wednesday, 28 February 2024 at

10am (NZT).

The annual shareholder meeting will

be held virtually. We have taken the

decision to conduct a virtual only

meeting again this year given the

global nature of our business. Our

chief executive officer (CEO), chief

financial officer, other key executives,

and the majority of board members,

including the Chair, are located in the

United Kingdom or Australia. Their

attendance in person at the meeting

would result in significant cost to

Gentrack, as well as other logistical

challenges.

Gentrack’s CEO, Gary Miles, and I will

speak about Gentrack’s performance

during the financial year to 30

September 2023 and our plans for the

financial year to 30 September 2024 at

the meeting, with the opportunity for

shareholders to ask questions.

In the formal part of the meeting, you

will be asked to vote on resolutions

covering:

• The re-election of Andy Green,

Gary Miles and Stewart Sherriff as

directors of Gentrack as they retire

by rotation and offer themselves for

re-election at the meeting.

• The remuneration of Ernst & Young

as Gentrack’s auditor.

I encourage you to attend virtually

or appoint a proxy to attend virtually

and vote on these resolutions on your

behalf. Proxy appointments must

be completed before 10am (NZT) on

Monday 26 February 2024. Further

details on how to attend the meeting

virtually or appoint a proxy are set out

in this Notice of Meeting.

Thank you for your ongoing support

of Gentrack.

Yours sincerely

Andy Green, CBE

Notice of Annual Meeting

of Shareholders

Ordinary resolutions

To consider, and if thought fit, to pass

the following ordinary resolutions:

1. Re-election of Andy Green: that

Andy Green be re-elected as a

director of Gentrack.

2. Re-election of Gary Miles: that Gary

Miles be re-elected as a director of

Gentrack.

3. Re-election of Stewart Sherriff: that

Stewart Sherriff be re-elected as a

director of Gentrack.

4. Auditor remuneration: that the

directors are authorised to fix the

remuneration of Ernst & Young as

auditor of Gentrack for the

ensuing year.

Each of these resolutions are to be

considered separately as an ordinary

resolution and, to be passed, require

the approval of more than 50% of the

votes of those shareholders entitled

to vote and voting on the resolution.

Further information relating to these

resolutions is set out in the meeting

notes on pages 7-9. Please read and

consider the resolutions together

with the notes.

By order of the board.

Andy Green, CBE

Chair

19 January 2024

NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1 requires that
Gentrack’s directors must not hold

office without re-election past the

third annual shareholder meeting

following their appointment or three

years, whichever is longer. Andy

Green, Gary Miles and Stewart Sherriff

were last elected at the 2021 annual

shareholder meeting and therefore will

retire from office at this year’s annual

meeting. Being eligible, each of Andy,

Gary, and Stewart offer themselves for

re-election.

The board has determined that Andy

and Stewart are Independent Directors

as defined in the NZX Listing Rules.

As Gary is a Gentrack employee, the

board has determined that Gary does

not qualify as an Independent Director

as defined in the NZX Listing Rules.

Brief biographies of each director are

set out on pages 5-6.

The board of Gentrack confirms

its support for the re-election of

each of Andy, Gary and Stewart and

recommends that you vote in favour of

the resolutions at the meeting.

Authorisation to fix auditor’s

remuneration

Section 207T of the Companies Act

1993 provides that a company’s

auditor is automatically re-appointed

at an annual meeting of shareholders

of the company unless there is a

resolution or other reason for the

auditor not to be re-appointed.

Ernst & Young will automatically be

re-appointed as the auditor of the

company at the annual meeting.

Section 207S of the Companies Act

1993 provides that, the auditor’s

fees and expenses must be fixed by

the company at the annual meeting

or in the manner that the company

determines during the annual meeting.

The directors propose that, consistent

with commercial practice, the auditor’s

remuneration should be fixed by the

directors. Authority for the directors

to fix the remuneration is typically

proposed as a resolution at each

annual meeting of shareholders.

Accordingly, Gentrack shareholders

are being asked to pass an ordinary

resolution authorising the directors

to fix the auditor’s remuneration.

Proxies

Any Gentrack shareholder entitled to

attend and vote at the meeting may

appoint a “proxy” to attend and vote

virtually on their behalf. A proxy need

not be a shareholder.

If you wish to appoint a proxy, you

can either direct your proxy how to

vote for you or let them decide how

they wish to vote on your behalf. If

you wish to give your proxy discretion,

then you must tick the appropriate

box. If you do not tick any box for the

resolution, then your proxy will abstain

from voting on that resolution.

The chair of the annual meeting is

willing to act as a proxy on behalf of

shareholders who wish to appoint

them for that purpose. The “Chair of

the Meeting” should be inserted as

the name of your proxy in the space

provided on the proxy form if you wish

the chair to act as your proxy.

The chair will vote in favour of the

resolutions to be considered at the

meeting other than the resolution

for his re-election, if appointed as a

discretionary proxy. He will abstain

from voting any discretionary proxies

given to him relating to the

resolution for his own

re-election.

If additional matters are raised

during the meeting which require a

shareholder vote, your proxy will be

entitled to vote on these additional

matters as he or she thinks fit.

You may complete your proxy

appointment either online or by

completing and returning the

proxy form provided with this

notice of meeting. Instructions are

set out below.

A company may appoint a person

to attend the meeting as its

representative in the same manner

as it may appoint a proxy.
