Resolution 1 – Auditor’s Remuneration
PwC is the existing auditor of SPL and has indicated its

re‑appointed at the Annual Shareholder Meeting as auditor
of SPL. Section 207S(a) of the Companies Act 1993
provides that the auditor’s fees and expenses must be fixed,
either by SPL at that Annual Shareholder Meeting or in the
manner that SPL determines at the Annual Shareholder
Meeting. The proposed resolution, if passed by shareholders,
would authorise the Board, consistent with commercial
practice, to fix the remuneration of PwC as SPL’s auditor.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders
vote in favour of Resolution 1.

Proxies
A shareholder of SPL or SIML is entitled to attend and
vote at the Annual Shareholder Meetings and is entitled
to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf. A
proxy need not be another shareholder of SPL or SIML,
and may be the Chair of the Meetings or any Director of
SPL and SIML. If you wish to appoint a proxy, you should
complete and return the Proxy Voting Form enclosed with
this Notice of Meetings, or lodge your proxy online at
www.investorvote.co.nz (see below for further details).
Lodging your proxy online will require you to enter your
CSN Shareholder number and postcode/country of

is located on the front of your Proxy Voting Form.
To be effective, the Proxy Voting Form must be received by
Stride’s share registrar or the online appointment completed

A corporate shareholder may appoint a person to attend the

If you appoint a proxy, you may either direct your proxy how to
vote for you, or you may give your proxy discretion to vote as he/
she sees fit. If you wish to give your proxy discretion, then you
must mark the appropriate boxes on the Proxy Voting Form.
If you appoint the Chair or any other Director as your proxy,
and tick the “Proxy’s Discretion” box, the Chair or Director, as
applicable, intends to vote in favour of the relevant resolution.
If you do not tick any box (either “For”, “Against” or “Proxy’s
Discretion”), the Chair or other Director (as applicable) will
not be permitted to act as your proxy. If you tick more than
one box in respect of a resolution your vote will be invalid
on that resolution.
Joint Holders
Where two or more persons are registered as the holder of a
share, the vote of the person named first in the share register
and voting on the matter will be accepted to the exclusion of
the votes of the other joint holders.
Ordinary Resolutions
All resolutions will be passed if approved by ordinary
resolution at the Annual Shareholder Meetings. An ordinary
resolution means a resolution passed by a simple majority of
the votes of those shareholders entitled to vote and voting
on the resolution.
