All shareholders that hold shares as at voting entitlement

the Company. You may, if you wish, appoint ‘The Chair of
the Meeting’ as your proxy by filling in the proxy form to
that effect.
A proxy form, with which you can appoint a proxy, is
enclosed with this Notice of Meeting. The Chair will

1 to 4. The chair intends to vote all discretionary proxies
given to him in favour of resolutions 1 to 4.
If, in appointing your proxy, you do not name a person to
be your proxy, or your named proxy does not attend the
virtual Annual Meeting, the Chair of the Annual Meeting
will be your proxy and may only vote in accordance with
your express direction.

Company’s share registrar, Computershare Investor
Services Limited, Private Bag 92119, Victoria Street

Explanatory Notes
A: ORDINARY BUSINESS
EXPLANATORY NOTE 1
Chair and Managing Director’s Reports
The Chair and Managing Director will each give a
presentation on the financial year ended 30 June
2024. Events occurring after 30 June 2024 will also be
discussed.
EXPLANATORY NOTE 2
Election of Directors
Under NZX Main Board Listing Rule 2.7.1, and in
accordance with the Company’s Constitution, all
directors must not hold office (without re-election) past
the third annual meeting of shareholders following the
director’s appointment, or three years, whichever is the
longer.
Biographical details for the directors proposed to be
re- elected by rotation are set out below:
Rosamari (Rose) Delegat, Dr Alan Jackson and Doug
McKay are subject to rotation under the NZX Listing
Rules and retire by rotation at this Annual Meeting.
The Board has determined that Dr Alan Jackson is an
Independent director (as defined by the NZX Listing
rules).
Rose Delegat is a Non-Executive Director of Delegat
Group Limited and has been on the Board since the
Company listed in 2006. The Group continues to benefit
from Rose’s experience and the expertise that she has
given to the company for more than 35 years. She was
responsible for initiating the Group’s drive into export
markets in the 1980s and was the inaugural Chairperson
(1987 – 1990) of the special United Kingdom Exporting
Group, part of the Wine Institute of New Zealand. Rose
Delegat was awarded Visionary Leader at the Deloitte
Top 200 Awards 2022. She is a Member of the Institute
of Directors.
Dr Alan Jackson is a Non-Executive Director of Delegat
Group Limited and has been on the Board since October
2012. Alan was, until 2009, Chairman Australasia, Senior
Vice President and Director of The Boston Consulting
Group. He has been an international management
consultant since 1987 with The Boston Consulting Group
and has proven experience at the most senior levels of
international and government business. In addition, Alan
has over 10 years experience, including Chair of Housing
New Zealand, New Zealand Thoroughbred Racing,
ThoroughVision Network and as a Director of Fletcher
Building. Alan is a Fellow of the Institute of Professional
Engineers and Chartered Fellow of the New Zealand
Institute of Directors.
The Board of Directors has carefully considered Dr Alan
Jackson’s tenure, which exceeds the recommended
twelve-year threshold set by the NZX Corporate
Governance Code. Despite his 12 years of service, the
Board unanimously determined that Dr Alan Jackson
continues to demonstrate a high level of independence
in both thought and action.
The key reasons for this conclusion are as follows:
1. Objective and Critical Thinking: Throughout his
tenure, Dr Alan Jackson has consistently exhibited
strong independence of judgment. He has a track record
of robustly challenging management on strategic issues,
risk oversight, and governance matters.
2. Lack of Conflicts of Interest: Dr Alan Jackson has no
relationships with the Company, its executives, or major
shareholders that could impair his independence. He has
no financial or personal ties to the Company outside of
his director’s role and is not involved in any consultancy
or advisory positions that could compromise his
objectivity.
3. Institutional Knowledge and Expertise: Dr Alan
Jackson’s deep knowledge of the Company’s operations
and industry context, gained through his years of service,
provides valuable insights that benefit the Board and the
Company. His understanding of the business’s historical
context, coupled with his ability to remain independent
of management’s influence, makes him a critical
contributor to the Board’s deliberations.
4. Continuous Board Refreshment: The Board
has implemented regular reviews of each director’s
performance, including peer evaluations, to ensure
they continue to bring fresh perspectives and remain
independent. Dr Alan Jackson’s participation in these
reviews, along with his willingness to engage with
external consultants on board effectiveness, supports
our belief in his continued independence.
Conclusion: After a thorough evaluation, the Board
is confident that Dr Alan Jackson continues to bring
independent oversight and challenge to the Board’s
discussions, and thus should remain classified as an
independent director.
Doug McKay retires by rotation pursuant to NZX Main
Board Listing Rule 2.71 and offers himself for election.
As this is the first annual meeting of shareholders since
Doug was appointed to the Board, Doug is required to
retire and does offer himself for election.
Doug McKay ONZM is a Non-Executive Director of
Delegat Group Limited and joined the Board in August
2024. Doug is an exceptional business leader with over
30 years’ experience managing FMCG, export and
international markets as CEO of Sealord, Independent
Liquor and Managing Director of Lion Breweries and
International, including USA, UK and China. Doug’s
corporate governance experience includes present and
past Chair and Director appointments with Vector, Bank
of New Zealand, Fletcher Building, IAG New Zealand,
National Australia Bank, Goodman Fielder, Genesis
Energy and Ryman Healthcare. Doug is a Chartered
Fellow of the Institute of Directors.
All directors standing for election do so with the support
of the Board.

EXPLANATORY NOTE 3
Appointment and Remuneration of Auditor
Section 207T of the Companies Act 1993 provides that
a company’s auditor is automatically reappointed unless
there is a resolution or other reason for the auditor not
to be reappointed. The Company wishes Deloitte to
continue as the Company’s auditor, and Deloitte has
indicated its willingness to do so.
Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 provides that
the fees and expenses of Deloitte as auditor are to be
fixed by the Company at the Annual Meeting or in such
a manner as the Company determines at the Annual
Meeting. The Board proposes that, consistent with past
practice, the auditor’s fees and expenses should be fixed
by the directors.
