proxy for a person who is entitled to vote where such vote is cast in accordance with an express instruction
contained in a Proxy/Voting Form.
Ordinary Resolutions (Resolutions 1 to 6)
Each of Resolutions 1 to 6 is an ordinary resolution. In order for an ordinary resolution to be passed, it must
be approved by a simple majority of the votes of those shareholders entitled to vote and voting on the
resolution.
NZX Non-objection
NZX Regulation Limited (NZ RegCo) does not object to this notice of meeting and does not take any
responsibility for any statement contained within this notice of meeting.
Proxy / Postal Voting
A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting is entitled to:
• appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of the shareholder; or
• cast a postal vote instead of attending in person or appointing a proxy.
A Proxy/Voting Form is enclosed with this Notice of Annual Meeting. To be effective, the Proxy/Voting Form
must be deposited with the Company in accordance with the instructions on the form not later than 1400

the Proxy/Voting Form), you inadvertently do not name someone to be your proxy in Step 2 of the
Proxy/Voting Form, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair will be your proxy and will
vote in accordance with your express direction.
A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. A corporation may appoint a person to attend the
meeting as its representative in the same manner as that in which it may appoint a proxy.

Resolution 6: Issue of Options to David Mair
On 01 May 2024, the Company announced the appointment of David Mair as its Managing Director, a role
which he commenced on the date of the announcement. The Company announced that David would remain
on the Board, where he had served since November 2022, and would become an Executive Director due to
his appointment as Managing Director.
Remuneration arrangements
The Company entered into an employment agreement with David on 01 May 2024 which details the terms of
his employment, including those relating to his remuneration (Employment Agreement). David’s Employment
Agreement, including his remuneration arrangements, were negotiated and agreed by a subcommittee of
the Board having regard to David’s management experience as well as market practice in relation to the
remuneration of the Chief Executive Officers and Managing Directors of other NZX-listed issuers. David did
not form part of the Board subcommittee and did not participate in the consideration or approval of his
Employment Agreement.
David’s Employment Agreement provides for a base salary of NZ$900,000 per annum and incentive
arrangements comprising:
• a short term incentive (STI) equal to the lesser of: (i) 5% of the financial year Adjusted Earnings
Before Interest and Tax (EBIT) improvement over the prior best financial year Adjusted EBIT achieved
by the Company during David’s term as Managing Director; and (ii) 30% of David’s cash salary paid in
respect of the FY to which the STI calculation is applied; and
• a long term incentive (LTI) in the form of a grant of 1,800,000 options to acquire ordinary shares in
the Company.
The Board subcommittee set the quantum of David’s LTI grant of options at a level designed to achieve the
objective of incentivising longer term performance and decision-making, retain David and align his interests
with shareholders. Having regard to these objectives, when considering the relative weighting of fixed and
variable components of David’s remuneration, the Board subcommittee favoured a greater weighting toward
the performance-based variable component of David’s remuneration over his fixed remuneration and a
greater weighting of the LTI over the STI in his performance-based incentive arrangements.
LTI Option Plan
The Board has approved the establishment of a long term incentive option plan (LTI Option Plan). In
accordance with the LTI Option Plan, the Board may grant options to employees of the Company to acquire
fully paid shares in the Company (the Options).
The objectives of the LTI Option Plan are to reward and retain key employees, drive longer term performance
and align incentives of participants with the interests of the Company’s shareholders, and encourage longer
term decision making by participants.
The terms of the LTI Option Plan are as follows:
• each Option is granted for nil cash consideration;
• each Option granted may not be sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of without the prior written
consent of the Board;
• each Option granted confers an entitlement to be issued or transferred one fully paid ordinary share
in the Company on exercise of the Option for a pre-determined exercise price;
• the exercise price will be determined by the Board and specified in the grant letter setting out the
terms of the grant provided to each participant;
• subject to remaining employed with the Company, the Options will be eligible to be exercised on the
6
vesting date up until the termination date (as specified in the grant letter), at which time any
unexercised Options will lapse;
• shares issued or transferred on exercise of the Options will be fully paid ordinary shares in the
Company which will rank pari passu with all other ordinary shares of the Company and will be quoted
on the NZX Main Board so long as the Company remains listed on the NZX Main Board;
• if the participant’s employment ceases (by any means and for any reason), the Options will lapse
immediately (irrespective of whether or not the Options have reached their vesting date), subject to
the Board exercising its discretion to allow the participant to exercise some or all of their Options
following cessation of their employment with the Company (which may be made subject to such
conditions as the Board sees fit);
• the Options confer no dividend rights or entitlement to participate in any other corporate action of
the Company, including any capital return or subsequent issue of securities by the Company (except
as described below);
• if, prior to the exercise of an Option, the Company makes a bonus issue of shares, participants will be
entitled to, on exercise of their Options, receive additional shares as if the shares issued or
transferred upon exercise of the Options had participated in the bonus issue);
• if, prior to the exercise of an Option, the Company confers on its shareholders the right to acquire
shares in the Company, the Board may adjust the exercise price in the manner permitted by NZX
Listing Rule 6.5.2(b);
• if, prior to the exercise of an Option, there is a rearrangement or reconstruction of shares in the
Company which changes the proportionate interest in the Company represented by each share, the
Company may adjust the number of shares to be received by the participant on the exercise of that
Option in the same ratio as the reconstruction or adjust the exercise price of the Option in the
inverse ratio to the reconstruction;
• if, prior to the vesting date:
o the Company receives a takeover offer pursuant to which the offeror acquires 75% or more
of the total voting rights in the Company, all Options will automatically become eligible to be
exercised on the specified effective date for the takeover; and
o a takeover (other than in respect of a takeover offer described above), buyback of shares by
the Company, scheme of arrangement or amalgamation in respect of the Company takes
place, the Board may permit all or some of a participant’s Options to accelerate automatically
so that those Options may be exercised immediately prior to the specified date for the
transaction;
• if the Company (or a subsidiary of the Company) divests or disposes of a material business or asset,
the Board may make special rules to apply to some or all of the Options to ensure that the participant
does not enjoy a windfall gain, or suffer a material detriment, as a result of the divestment or
disposal; and
• except to the extent set out in a grant letter, neither the Company nor any subsidiary of the Company
is responsible for any taxes which may become payable by a participant in connection with the LTI
Option Plan.
Proposed Grant
Subject to shareholder approval pursuant to Resolution 6, the Board has made a grant of Options to David
under the LTI Option Plan in accordance with the remuneration arrangements in his Employment Agreement
on the following terms:
Proposed Award 1,800,000 Options
Grant Date 15 November 2024
7
Exercise Price An amount calculated as follows:
Exercise Price = (a x b) – c
Where:
a = $4.0063, being the volume weighted average price of the Company’s
shares on the NZX over the 20 Business Days prior to 01 May 2024
b = 1.259, which represents a cost of capital charge of 8% per annum
compounding annually over the period from the date the Options are
issued to the Vesting Date
c = the cumulative amount of cash dividends per share paid by the
Company during the period between 01 May 2024 and the Vesting
Date
Vesting Date The date on which the Company’s financial results for the year ended 30
September 2027 are released to NZX
Termination Date The date which is 20 Business Days following the date on which the
Company’s financial results for the year ended 30 September 2027 are
released to NZX
Net Settlement David may direct the Company to facilitate a cashless (net settled) exercise,
pursuant to which the Company will transfer or issue to David such number of
shares as is equal to the difference between the market value of a share in
the Company (calculated as the volume weighted average price the
Company’s shares reported on the NZX Main Board for the 5 Business Days
prior to the issue or transfer of the shares) and the exercise price per Option,
multiplied by the number of Options being exercised, divided by the market
value.
Tax obligations David is liable to pay any tax arising on exercise of his Options.
Shareholder approvals sought
Resolution 6 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of 1,800,000 Options (on the terms described above) to
David as a single grant under the LTI Option Plan.
The Company is unable to issue the Options to David without shareholder approval in accordance with NZX
Listing Rule 4.2.1 as David is the only participant in the LTI Option Plan and therefore the allocation criteria
applying to David does not apply to employees or directors more generally.
The issue of the Options requires the approval of the Company’s shareholders by Ordinary Resolution
pursuant to NZX Listing Rule 4.1.1 and in accordance with NZX Listing Rule 4.2.1 (with the issue of shares on
exercise of Options then being permitted under NZX Listing Rule 4.9.1(b)(i) without further shareholder
approval).
If shareholders approve Resolution 6, shareholders will not immediately be diluted by the issue of Options to
David. Subject to all of the Options being exercised without adjustment, this will result in the issue of
8
1,800,000 ordinary shares to David representing 0.1925% of the total ordinary shares currently on issue,
which will have a corresponding dilutionary impact on all shareholders. Dilution occurs when a company
issues new share which results in a decrease of an existing shareholder’s ownership percentage of the
company, although the number of shares they hold will not be affected.
If shareholder approval for the issue of Options to David pursuant to Resolution 6 is given, the Company will
issue the Options to David shortly after the Annual Meeting and by no later than 20 December 2024.
If shareholder approval for the issue of Options to David pursuant to Resolution 6 is not obtained, the
Company will need to agree alternative additional compensation for David for the loss of that benefit (which
was taken into account by the parties in agreeing the quantum of the other aspects of his remuneration
package).
NZX Waiver from Appraisal Report requirements in respect of Resolution 6
NZX Listing Rule 7.8.5(b) requires a notice of meeting to consider a resolution in respect of an issue of
financial products to be accompanied by an Appraisal Report if the issue is intended, or is likely, to result in
more than 50% of those financial products being issued to Directors or Associated Persons of Directors. On
the basis that David is a Director of the Company and the sole participant in the LTI Option Plan, without a
waiver from NZX Listing Rule 7.8.5, the Company would be required to prepare an Appraisal Report to
accompany this notice of meeting.
A key purpose of an Appraisal Report is to provide shareholders with an independent evaluation that allows
them to understand and scrutinise the merits of a proposed transaction where directors or their associated
persons are the majority participants in an equity issue. The Company considers that an Appraisal Report is
not required for shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether or not to approve the issue of the
Options on the basis that:
• the terms of the Options are simple and straightforward, have been negotiated on an arm's length
basis, and are fairly and transparently disclosed in this notice of meeting;
• the number of Options that may be issued is fixed at 1,800,000, providing shareholders with certainty
as to what they are approving; and
• the Options will be granted with an exercise price which is benchmarked to the market price of the
underlying shares, adjusted to reflect the Company’s cost of capital and any dividends declared on
the Company’s shares over the vesting period of the Options and shareholders can assess the
financial implications and “fairness” of the Options without an independent Appraisal Report.
The Company has sought and been granted a waiver from NZ RegCo from the requirement in NZX Listing Rule
7.8.5(b) to provide an Appraisal Report in respect of Resolution 6 to shareholders with this notice of meeting.
The waiver was granted on the following conditions:
• the current non-interested directors of the Company, who were directors of the Company at the time
of the negotiation and entry into David’s Employment Agreement, certify to NZ RegCo that the terms
of David’s Employment Agreement, including with respect to the grant of the Options, were set on an
arm’s length commercial basis;
• the waiver, and the Company’s reliance on the waiver, is disclosed in the notice of meeting in respect
of the annual meeting of shareholders for 2024.
Sanford has provided to NZ RegCo the certificate that is required as a condition to the waiver and confirms
that it is relying on the waiver in issuing this notice of meeting.
The full waiver decision can be found on the Company’s announcement page on the NZX website
(www.nzx.com/companies/SAN/announcements).
