McLauchlan are set out below.

The Board recommends that you vote IN FAVOUR

OF Jeff Morrison and Stuart McLauchlan’s

Reasons for the

Board’s Recommendations

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS (Resolutions 1–2)

The Board wishes to ensure that it possesses

the appropriate blend of expertise, skills and experience,

having regard to the size of the Company and the nature

of its business. The Board supports the election of Jeff

Morrison and Stuart McLauchlan because the Board

considers they have the expertise to contribute to the

overall skill set required by the Board.

ARGOSY PROPERTY LIMITED
NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING 2024

DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION (Resolution 3)

Under NZX Listing Rule 2.11.1 and the Company’s

constitution, no remuneration may be paid to a Director

in his or her capacity as a Director of the Company, or as a

director of a subsidiary (other than a listed subsidiary),

unless such remuneration has been authorised by an

ordinary resolution of shareholders.

The Company currently has approval to pay a maximum

of $828,000 in aggregate to Directors for their

remuneration as Directors, which is being paid as set out

in the table below. The Board last reviewed Directors’

remuneration in 2021. Since then, the regulatory

landscape in which the Company operates has continued

to change, with increased regulatory risk and obligations

(particularly with respect to sustainability, carbon

emissions and climate change) resulting in increased

demand on Directors’ time and broadening their scope of

responsibilities in monitoring and assessing legal

and regulatory compliance.

The Company considers it desirable to attract and retain

high performing Directors whose skills and experience

are well suited to the Company’s requirements. The

Company engaged PwC to provide New Zealand listed

company benchmark data for the roles of Chairman,

committee chairs, committee members and base

non-executive directors. The Board reviewed this

benchmark data and based on a comparison of the

Company’s Directors’ fees to the market data, consider

the increases to the Directors’ remuneration set out in the

table below are appropriate to attract and retain high

performing Directors. A summary of PwC’s report is

available on Argosy’s website (www.argosy.co.nz).

Pool available for additional responsibilities

and one-off projects$100,000$100,000$0

$828,000$853,000$25,000

The increases in remuneration shown in the table above

will require a $25,000 increase in the approved maximum

aggregate amount of Director remuneration. This amount

is attributable to increases in the rate at which fees are

payable to individual directors. The Board may determine

the amount payable to each Director within the maximum

aggregate amount shareholders are being asked to

approve. If Resolution 3 is passed, the increase to the

aggregate amount of Directors’ remuneration will take

effect on and from 18 June 2024.

The new maximum aggregate amount of a $853,000 per

annum will continue to include a pool of $100,000 that

provides flexibility to remunerate Directors who assume

additional responsibilities (including one-off project work)

from time to time beyond the scope of their usual

responsibilities. No amounts have been paid to Directors

from this pool during the year to 31 March 2024. The

unused pool is not carried forward to future years.

The Board considers that alignment of Directors’ fees

to market is important in order for the Company to be

able to continue to attract and retain high performing

Directors whose skills and experience are well-suited

to the Company’s requirements. The Board considers

the fee increases proposed are fair and reflective of

market conditions.

FIXING OF AUDITOR’S FEES AND EXPENSES

(Resolution 4)

Deloitte is automatically re-appointed as the auditor of the

Company under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993.

Resolution 4 authorises the Board to fix the fees and

expenses of Deloitte as the Company’s auditor.
