Mark Verbiest LLB, CFInstD

Non-executive Director

Independent

Term of Office: Appointed Director on 1 July 2021, re-elected 27 April 2022

Board Committees: People & Culture Committee, Audit & Risk Committee,

Development & Construction Committee

Mark is an experienced professional company director with over a decade of experience. A lawyer

by training, he spent many years in private practice as partner of a large national law firm. He

subsequently joined the senior executive team at Telecom New Zealand as Group General Counsel,

also having executive responsibility for other corporate groups as well as two business units.

He is also currently the Chair of listed company Meridian Energy.

Mark has previously been Chair of Freightways, Spark, Transpower NZ, Willis Bond Capital and a

director of a number of other companies and entities, including ANZ Bank, the inaugural board of the

Financial Markets Authority and the advisory board to NZ Treasury.

In 2022 Mark was named Chairperson of the Year at the Deloitte Top 200 Awards, and in 2023 was

awarded the Beacon Award for Corporate Governance by the NZ Shareholders Association.

Mark has been Chair of Summerset since July 2021.

Information on each of the resolutions is set out below.

We note that this year shareholders are not being asked to authorise the directors to set the

remuneration of the Company’s auditors. This is because PwC was appointed as auditor from 1 January

2025 (replacing Ernst & Young) and the Companies Act provides for the directors to set the auditor’s

remuneration in these circumstances.

Ordinary Resolutions 1-3: Re-election of Directors

Pursuant to NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, a Director must not hold office (without re-election) past the third Annual

Meeting following the Director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

Mark Verbiest, Stephen Bull and Gráinne Troute retire in accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1 and offer

themselves for re-election.

The Board has determined that each of Mark, Gráinne and Stephen qualify as Independent Directors and

unanimously support their re-election.

The Board notes that, if re-elected, Gráinne will have served as a director for 10 years on 1 September 2026.

Although Summerset’s Board Charter provides that directors will not generally hold office for more than 10

years, the Board has requested that Gráinne stand for re-election due to the valuable role that she performs

as Chair of the People & Culture Committee. If reappointed, it is intended that she will retire at an appropriate

time during this, her final term.

Any shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting can appoint a “proxy” to attend and vote. If you appoint a proxy, you can either direct

your proxy how to vote or let them decide on the day on your behalf. If you do not tick a box for a particular resolution, then your proxy will abstain from

voting. If you return this form without appointing a proxy on your Proxy Form but have indicated on this form how you wish to vote, the Chair of the meeting

will vote in accordance with your express instructions. For this Proxy Form to be valid, you must produce it by delivering, posting or emailing it intact to be

received by MUFG Corporate Markets no later than 2.30pm, Sunday, 20 April 2025.


Voting of your holding

If you tick the ‘Proxy Discretion’ box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy to decide how to vote on that resolution on your behalf. If you

tick the ‘Abstain’ box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy not to vote on that resolution. If a proxy does not vote on your behalf on a

resolution, your votes will not be counted when calculating the majority of that resolution. If you do not tick any box for a particular resolution, then your

instruction will be to abstain.


Appointing the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy

If you wish, you may appoint the Chair of the meeting as your proxy. Please tick the box next to “Chair of the Meeting” when you appoint your proxy.

The Chair will vote according to your instructions.


Attending the meeting
