Director fees
•When determining director fees,
EROAD considers the median director
fee levels for comparable listed
companies in New Zealand
•To attract appropriately qualified
overseas candidates, EROAD pays
based on director fees for comparable
companies in the market that the
director is based in, in local currency
•Pursuant to NZX Listing Rule 2.11.3, the
Board approved an increase to the
director fee pool to NZD$900,000
which is needed to accommodate the
increased number of directors and
possible fluctuations in foreign
exchange rates. The Board elected to
only increase the fee pool to the extent
necessary to facilitate current director
fee structure.
