Notice of Annual Meeting
Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the Board and management, I am pleased
to invite you to MOVE Logistics Group Limited’s 2024
Annual Shareholders’ Meeting in Auckland. This will be
held both online and in person, to allow as many of our
shareholders as possible to join us.
The Board is undergoing a renewal and, in line with this,
Grant Devonport and Mark Newman will be stepping
down at the Meeting. We will take the opportunity to
thank them at the Meeting. Lachie Johnstone and Greg
Whitham are both standing for election this year, and
their elections are unanimously supported by the Board.
The Board believes that five directors is suitable for a
company of MOVE’s size and scale, and a recruitment
process has commenced to ensure an appropriate
balance of skills and experience.
Shareholders are also being asked to approve an
increase in MOVE’s new invoice financing facility. With
shareholder approval, the facility limit can increase
from $21 million to $25 million and will provide MOVE with
additional working capital flexibility.
Further information is enclosed in this Notice. If you cannot
attend the Meeting, we encourage you to lodge your
proxy vote, either online or by completing the attached
Proxy Form. The Chair of the Meeting, or any other
Director, is willing to act as proxy for any shareholder who
wishes to appoint him or her for that purpose. To do this,
enter ‘the Chair’ or the name of your proxy in the space
allocated in ‘Step 1’ of the Proxy Form or online.
At the Meeting, shareholders will be able to meet MOVE’s
new interim CEO, Paul Millward. Paul is leading the change
programme to reshape and strengthen our business,
improve financial performance and build shareholder
value. I look forward to introducing him to you.
If you elect to attend the Meeting virtually, you will be able
to watch the Meeting live, vote and ask questions online.
We encourage shareholders to receive communications
from MOVE by email. This ensures you receive
communications in a timely manner, saves money
and is better for the environment. To sign up for email
communications, please follow the instructions on page 2
of the Proxy Form.
We look forward to welcoming you to the 2024 Meeting.
Julia Raue

RESOLUTION 1: To record the re-appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers as the Company’s
auditor and to authorise the Directors to fix the auditor’s remuneration for the ensuring year.

By Order of the Board of Directors
Lee Banks
Authorised Officer
8 October 2024
EXPLANATORY NOTES
In these explanatory notes, references to “Listing
Rules” are to the NZX Listing Rules. All resolutions
are Ordinary Resolutions and require approval by
a simple majority (greater than 50%) of the votes
of those shareholders entitled to vote and voting
on the resolution. There are no voting restrictions
applicable to any of the resolutions being put to the
Meeting.
The Board unanimously supports all resolutions.
1. AUDITOR REMUNERATION
The Companies Act 1993 requires the Company to
appoint an auditor and provides that the fees and
expenses of an auditor appointed at an annual
meeting can be fixed in the manner determined at
that meeting. Section 207S of the Companies Act
1993 provides that the remuneration of the auditor
is to be fixed in such a manner as the company
determines at the meeting. The Board proposes that,
consistent with commercial practice, the auditor’s
remuneration should be fixed by the Directors.
The resolution authorises the Board to fix the
auditor’s remuneration. PricewaterhouseCoopers
is automatically re-appointed as the Company’s
auditor.
The Board recommends shareholders vote
FOR this resolution.
2. APPROVAL OF INCREASE TO INVOICE FINANCING
FACILITY
As a result of the expiry of the existing financing
arrangement with ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited
(ANZ Bank) in March 2025 and the FY24 loss,
MOVE sought and obtained an amended funding
arrangement to allow flexibility and support in its
turnaround. MOVE has completed renewed funding
arrangements with ANZ Bank and entered into a
new debtor invoice funding agreement (Invoice
Financing Facility) with Pacific Invoice Finance.
The Invoice Financing Facility provides funding of
up to $21 million for a minimum 18-month term and,
if shareholders approve, could be extended up to
$25 million. MOVE has the support of ANZ Bank to
extend the tenure of its facility with ANZ Bank for
a further 12 months to 31 August 2025, alongside
amended covenants which are aligned with MOVE’s
expected performance. ANZ Bank also supports
MOVE entering into the Invoice Financing Facility.
Invoice Financing Facility
Pursuant to the terms of the Invoice Financing
Facility:
• the borrowers are MOVE Logistics &
Warehousing Limited, MOVE Freight Limited,
MOVE Specialist Lifting & Transport Limited, and
MOVE Oceans Limited (together, the Borrowers
and each a Borrower);
• the Borrowers assign unpaid invoices (accounts
receivable) as collateral to Pacific Invoice
Finance, to obtain immediate cash from Pacific
Invoice Finance;
• the Borrowers can draw down 80% of the value
of each approved debt, on request;
• each Borrower will grant Pacific Invoice Finance
a general security interest over all its assets,
including a first ranking interest in respect of all
receivables;
• ANZ Bank will grant Pacific Invoice Finance first
charge over the receivables of the Borrowers
pursuant to a deed of priority, with a priority
figure of $37.5 million;
• Pacific Invoice Finance will charge the Borrowers
a monthly administration fee of $17,500 (plus
GST);
• the interest rate payable by the Borrowers will
comprise a margin (currently 0.7%) and a base
rate (currently 11.25%); and
• either party may terminate the Invoice Finance
Facility, without cause, at any time after 18
months. The Borrowers’ notice period for doing
so is six months and Pacific Invoice Finance’s
notice period is 30 days; and
• Pacific Invoice Finance will only advance funds
against unpaid invoices that are “Approved
Debts”. Pacific Invoice Finance will classify a debt
as a “Non-Approved Debt” if it has not been paid
within 90 days of the last calendar day of the
month in which the invoice was issued and may
classify other unpaid invoices as “Non-Approved
Debts” if:
- a Borrower or the debtor under the invoice
have suffered an insolvency event;
- the debt, when aggregated with all other
debts of that relevant debtor, would amount
to 30% (percentage may be adjusted from
time to time) or more of all debts owing to
the Borrowers;
- the amounts owing and payable between
the Borrowers and Pacific Invoice Finance
exceed the facility limit; or
- a financing statement has not been
registered in respect of the relevant debt.
The key benefit of the Invoice Financing Facility
is the ability for MOVE to access cash when it is
invoiced, rather than paid.
ANZ Amended Facilities
The amended ANZ facilities include a term loan of
$11.6 million, $2.5 million overdraft, bank guarantees
totaling $8.7m, quarterly repayments of $1.25 million
re-commencing from March 2024 and amended
quarterly financial covenants as below:
• EBITDA actual > 85% of EBITDA Forecast on a YTD
basis;
• capital expenditure restricted to $1m in FY25;
and
• total ANZ exposure not greater than 50% of
Property Plant and Equipment value at all times
post introduction of debtor invoice financing.
MOVE is forecasting compliance with the amended
financial covenants until at least September 2025.
ANZ Repayment
As at 31 August 2024, MOVE’s bank debt was $36.0
million (inclusive of $9 million in bank guarantees).
The Invoice Financing Facility was settled on 25
September 2024. On 26 September 2024, MOVE
completed draw-down of $19.9m and repaid
$15.5m to ANZ Bank on 27 September 2024. The
remaining funds will be used for corporate and
working capital requirements.
Shareholder Approval
Shareholder approval is required under NZX Listing
Rule (Rule) 5.1.1(b) by way of an ordinary resolution,
to enable MOVE to access up to $25 million under
the Invoice Financing Facility.
Should shareholders not approve this Resolution,
MOVE will not be able to access a $25 million facility
limit and would proceed with the Invoice Financing
Facility but on the basis that it has a facility limit
of $21 million. This would restrict MOVE’s ability
to access cash and fulfil corporate and working
capital needs.
Rule 5.1.1(b) provides that, except with the prior
approval by an ordinary resolution, MOVE may
not enter into any transaction or related series
of transactions to acquire, sell, exchange, or
otherwise dispose of assets of MOVE in respect of
which the gross value is in excess of 50% of the
average market capitalisation of MOVE. For the
purposes of Rule 5.1.1(b), the Invoice Finance Facility
constitutes a sale of assets because invoices are
assigned to Pacific Invoice Finance. The full $25
million facility available to MOVE under the Invoice
Financing Facility exceeds 50% of the average
market capitalisation of MOVE as at 28 August 2024
(being the date MOVE advised shareholders on the
NZX it was in the process of entering to the Invoice
Finance Facility with Pacific Invoice Finance).
For completeness, entry into the Invoice Financing
Facility does not constitute a “major transaction” for
the purposes of section 129 of the Companies Act
1993.
The Board recommends shareholders vote
FOR this resolution.
3 AND 4. DIRECTOR ELECTIONS
Rule 2.7.1 requires that any person who is appointed
as a Director by the Board shall retire from office
at the next annual shareholders’ meeting but shall
be eligible for election at that meeting. Lachie
Johnstone and Greg Whitham were appointed to
the Board during the year and accordingly, are
standing for election by shareholders.
LACHIE JOHNSTONE
Appointed 1 March 2024
Independent Director
Lachie is an experienced director, with current
directorships including Chair of CentrePort
and Jenkins Group. Previously, he was Chair of
Farmlands Co-operative Society for sixteen years
alongside a number of other governance roles.
He has extensive commercial and Chair/Director
experience across the logistics, port, agriculture,
horticulture and education sectors including
chairing People & Remuneration, Audit & Risk and
Health Safety & Wellbeing board sub-committees.
The Board has determined that Lachie is an
Independent Director.
The Board recommends shareholders vote
FOR this resolution.
GREG WHITHAM
Appointed 8 March 2024
Director
Greg Whitham was one of the original founding
partners of the MOVE group and was Chief
Financial Officer from 1996. He was part of the
executive team who, over many years, built
enduring customer relationships and expanded
the scale of MOVE and the services it offers. He
retired from the company in 2019, following its
successful transition to a listed company. The
Board has determined that Greg is a non-executive,
non-independent director, as he is a substantial
shareholder.
The Board recommends shareholders vote
FOR this resolution.
