APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
If you do not plan to attend the meeting, you may appoint a
proxy. The Chair of the meeting or any other director is

not name a person as your proxy (either online or on this
Proxy Form), the Chair of the meeting will be your proxy and
may vote only in accordance with your express direction.
You can still attend the meeting, even if you have appointed a
proxy, although you will not be able to vote if a proxy has been
appointed.
Voting of your holding
Direct your proxy how to vote by making the appropriate
election, either online or on this Proxy Form, in respect of
each item of business (Resolutions 1 to 4). If you do not make
an election in respect of a resolution your proxy may (unless
a voting restriction applies) vote as they choose.
If you make more than one election in respect of a resolution
your vote will be invalid on that resolution.
Appointing the Chair of the meeting or a director as your proxy
If you expressly appoint the Chair of the meeting or any other
director as your proxy and elect to give them discretion on
how to vote on a resolution, you acknowledge that they may
exercise your vote (unless a voting restriction applies) even
if they have an interest in the outcome of that resolution.
The Chair and directors intend to vote all discretionary
proxies in favour of Resolution 1 to 4.

Explanatory notes
Resolution 1: Approval of Board fixing remuneration of auditor
Grant Thornton is automatically re-appointed as IKE’s auditor under section 207T of the
Companies Act 1993. Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 details the basis on how the
fees and expenses of the auditor shall be set. To provide flexibility, your directors recommend
that they be authorised to determine the fees and expenses of the auditors.
The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Resolution 2: Approval of appointment of Roz Buick
In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, a director appointed by the board must not hold
office (without re-election) past the next annual meeting following that director’s appointment.
Accordingly, Roz Buick is required to retire (having been appointed by the board in November
2023). Being eligible, Roz Buick has offered herself for election.
The Board considers that Roz Buick will be an independent director for the purposes of the NZX
Listing Rules if elected to the Board.
• Roz Buick brings more than 25 years’ experience from executive leadership positions across
global utility, engineering, construction, real estate and agriculture markets with companies
including Oracle Inc. and Trimble Inc. Roz is an industry leader who has led businesses
through new growth strategies that are market differentiating and innovative, both with
product and go to market strategies.
The Board unanimously supports the re-election of Roz Buick.
Resolution 3 & 4: Re-election of Directors
In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, a director must not hold office (without re-election)
past the third annual meeting following that director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is
longer. Accordingly, Fred Lax and Mark Ratcliff are required to retire, but being eligible, both have
offered themselves for re-election.
The Board considers that both Fred Lax and Mark Ratcliffe will be independent directors for the
purposes of the NZX Listing Rules if elected to the Board.
• Fred Lax is an executive leader with extensive global experience in the telecommunications
industry and related technologies. Based in California, he is a former director of NASDAQ
listed Ikanos Communications Inc. (acquired by Qualcomm Atheros), and former Chief
Executive Officer and President of NASDAQ listed Tekelec, Inc.
• Mark Ratcliffe was the founding CEO of Chorus New Zealand from 2007 to 2017 where he
led the deployment of New Zealand’s national fibre network. Prior to Chorus Mark was CIO
