EXPLANATORY NOTES

In these explanatory notes, references to “Listing Rules” are to the NZX Listing Rules.

The Resolutions to be put before Shareholders is an Ordinary Resolution and requires

approval by a simple majority (greater than 50%) of the votes of those shareholders entitled

to vote and voting on the Resolutions.

AUDITORS

RESOLUTION 1: AUDITORS’ REMUNERATION

Under section 207T of the Companies Act 1993 (Companies Act), the current auditor of the

Company, Deloitte, is automatically reappointed at the Annual Meeting as auditor of the

Company. As announced on 2 February 2024, Deloitte was appointed as the auditor of the

Company with immediate effect, following the resignation of the previous auditor, Baker Tilly

Staples Rodway.

Under section 207S of the Companies Act, the auditor's fees and expenses must be fixed in

the manner that is determined at the Annual Meeting of the Company. The Resolution

therefore authorises the Board to fix the remuneration of Deloitte as the Company’s auditor

for the current financial year.

DIRECTOR ELECTIONS AND RE-ELECTION

WasteCo regularly reviews its Board membership to ensure that the appropriate skills,

capabilities, experience, and knowledge are in place to provide effective oversight of the

Company’s strategy and commercial progress.

The Board has identified the skills it believes are important to support the Company’s strategy

and continued momentum and the Board believes that the current Directors offer valuable and

complementary skill sets.

NZX Listing Rule 2.1.1(c) requires that at least two of the Directors are Independent Directors

within the requirements of the Listing Rules.

Under NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1 a director previously elected by shareholders must not hold

office past the third annual meeting following appointment or three years, whichever is longer,

without being re-elected by shareholders.

Also under Listing Rule 2.7.1 any person who is appointed as an additional director by the

Board during the year must retire at the next annual meeting, but is eligible for election.

Under NZX Listing Rule 2.3.2, WasteCo was required to announce to NZX a closing time for

nomination of additional directors by shareholders. WasteCo did this on 22 August 2025,

setting a closing date of 4pm on 5 September 2025.

RESOLUTION 2: RE-ELECTION OF SHANE EDMOND AS A DIRECTOR

Board Responsibilities: Independent Director, Chair of the Audit, Finance and Risk

Committee and member of the Remuneration, Nominations and Health and Safety Committee.

Shane Edmond retires by rotation and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election. The Board

unanimously supports his re-election.

Shane has extensive experience in financial markets, having worked in London and New

Zealand for more than 30 years. He was previously a member of the Financial Market


page 4

Authority’s Code Committee for Financial Advisers for seven years. Shane became a

shareholder and a director of WasteCo Holdings NZ in December 2020 (prior to the reverse

listing) and served as Chair from December 2022 to December 2024.

The Board has determined that Shane Edmond is an Independent Director for the purposes

of the Listing Rules.

RESOLUTION 3: ELECTION OF SIMON HERBERT AS A DIRECTOR

Board Responsibilities: Non-Independent Director.

Simon Herbert was appointed as an additional director by the Board in December 2024 and

retires from office at the meeting. Simon offers himself for election. The Board unanimously

supports his election.

Simon brings more than 25 years of experience in business and property investment,

combined with an 18 year legal career in major New Zealand law firms. As principal of Empire

Capital, Simon has spearheaded transformative projects, including acquisitions across

marine, residential, industrial and commercial property, and technology sectors. Notable

achievements include the acquisition of three of Auckland’s privately owned marinas and

associated waterfront land holdings and businesses into thriving enterprises.

Lesser known is his investment in technological infrastructure, reflecting his strategic vision

and entrepreneurial leadership. His proven expertise, experience, and forward-thinking

leadership will be valuable as WasteCo continues on its aggressive growth trajectory.

The Board has determined that Simon Herbert is an Non-Independent Director for the

purposes of the Listing Rules, as he was appointed to the Board by a substantial product

holder of the Company, Empire Waste Technology Limited, under the terms of a convertible

note agreement.

RESOLUTION 4: ELECTION OF SEAN JOYCE AS A DIRECTOR

Board Responsibilities: Non-Independent Director.

Sean Joyce was appointed as an additional director by the Board in December 2024 and

retires from office at the meeting. Sean offers himself for election. The Board unanimously

supports his election.

Sean has more than 30 years’ experience in the corporate sector as a corporate lawyer and

a market participant. Sean has a particular focus on the capital markets and securities laws in

New Zealand. This includes regulatory compliance, initial public offerings, compliance listings,

reverse listings, takeovers, fundraising and offerings of various types of securities in New

Zealand.

Sean is a Chartered Member of the Institute of Directors (CMinstD) and holds a Bachelor of

Arts and a Bachelor of Laws (Hons) from Auckland University. Sean is a director of a number

of private and listed companies.

The Board has determined that Sean Joyce is an Non-Independent Director for the purposes

of the Listing Rules, as he was appointed to the Board by a substantial product holder of the

Company, Empire Waste Technology Limited, under the terms of a convertible notes

agreement.

RESOLUTION 5: ELECTION OF SARA LUNAM AS A DIRECTOR

Board Responsibilities: Independent Director.

Sara Lunam was appointed as an additional director by the Board in July 2025 and retires

from office at the meeting. Sara offers herself for election. The Board unanimously supports

her election.

Sara brings more than three decades of governance and executive leadership experience

across New Zealand and Australia. She has held senior roles in the transport, logistics,

agriculture and energy sectors, including as a key member of the executive team at Port of

Tauranga, where she was involved in major joint ventures and operational integrations.

Sara currently serves as Chair of the Waipuna Hospice Foundation and has held numerous

governance positions, including with New Zealand Post, Genesis Energy, New Zealand

Merino and The Employers & Manufacturers Association. Sara’s appointment is part of

WasteCo’s ongoing board refresh and brings further depth in infrastructure, logistics, and

strategic transformation.

The Board has determined that Sara Lunam is an Independent Director for the purposes of

the Listing Rules.

RESOLUTION 6: RE-ELECTION OF JAMES REDMAYNE AS A DIRECTOR

Board Responsibilities: Non-Independent Director and member of the Audit, Finance and

Risk Committee.

James Redmayne retires by rotation and being eligible, offers himself for re-election. The

Board unanimously supports his re-election.

James is one of WasteCo’s founders. Before launching WasteCo with Carl Storm, James had

18 years cost and management accounting experience in banking, foreign exchange,

broadcasting, manufacturing and pharmaceuticals.

The Board has determined that James Redmayne is an Non-Independent Director for the

purposes of the Listing Rules. He is a substantial product holder of the Company as a joint
