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.
