3.2 Resolution 2: Election of Director – Anita Maria Killeen was appointed by the Board
effective from 1 February 2024 pursuant to clause 19.19 of GenCap’s constitution and
NZX Listing Rule 2.2.1(a). In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, Anita retires as a
Director at the Meeting but, being eligible, offers herself for election as a Director at
the Meeting. The Board unanimously supports Anita’s election and considers her to

4 Directors’ Recommendation
4.1 The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of Resolutions 1, 2 and
3.
5 Voting Details
5.1 Voting Entitlements: The persons who will be entitled to vote on the resolutions at
the Annual Meeting are those persons who are General Capital shareholders at
5:00pm on Wednesday, 24 July 2024.
5.2 Casting Your Vote: You may cast your vote by either:
a) Personal attendance: If you wish, you can attend the Annual Meeting and vote.
Voting will be by way of poll. You must bring the Proxy/Voting Form with you to
vote.
b) Appoint a proxy to vote: You may appoint a proxy or corporate representative
(if the shareholder is a body corporate) to attend the Annual Meeting to act
generally at the meeting and to vote on your behalf. Your proxy does not need
to be a General Capital shareholder. To do this, you should complete the
Proxy/Voting Form. It must be returned to the share registrar by 3:00pm on
Wednesday, 24 July 2024. You may return your Proxy/Voting Form by:
• Completing the Proxy/Voting Form and either posting it or faxing it to the
share registrar; or
• Completing the Proxy/Voting Form online at www.investorvote.co.nz

c) Proxy/Voting Forms: The Proxy/Voting Form allows you to vote (or direct your
proxy to vote) either for or against, or abstain from, each resolution notified in
the Notice of Meeting. You may also allow your proxy to vote at their discretion
(ie “undirected”). However, an undirected proxy cannot exercise discretion and
vote on a resolution if they are restricted from voting on that resolution. They
can only cast a vote if an express direction is expressed in the proxy.
d) The Chair of the meeting or any other Director is willing to act as proxy for any
shareholder who wishes to appoint them for that purpose. If you appoint the
Chair of the meeting or any other General Capital director as your proxy to vote
on your behalf, then any undirected proxies granted to them will be voted in
favour of the relevant resolution, unless that director is restricted from voting
on the resolution, in which case your vote will not be cast. If, in appointing a
proxy, you have inadvertently not named someone to be your proxy, or your
named proxy does not attend the Annual Meeting, the Chair of the meeting will
be your proxy and will vote in accordance with your express direction. Again, if
the Chair is restricted from voting on a resolution and you have not directed
how to cast your vote, your vote will not be cast. General Capital directors are
not prepared to speak at the Annual Meeting on behalf of a shareholder who
appoints them as their proxy. If you wish to be heard at the meeting you should
either attend in person or appoint a proxy other than a General Capital director.
e) To assist shareholders wishing to exercise their voting rights at the Annual
Meeting (whether in person or by proxy), the Proxy/ Voting Form accompanying
this Notice of Meeting has been personalised with individual shareholder details.
The Proxy/Voting Form shows your current shareholding. If, at 5:00pm on
Thursday, 25 July 2024, your shareholding is different from that shown on the
Proxy/Voting Form, you can update the entitlement on arrival at the meeting.
f) Method of Voting: Voting on the resolution put before the Annual Meeting will
be by poll. Results of the voting will be available after the conclusion of the
meeting and will be notified on the NZX.
g) Voting Thresholds: All Resolutions are ordinary resolutions. An ordinary
resolution means a resolution passed by a simple majority of votes of
shareholders of the Company entitled to vote and voting.
