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.

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.

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

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.

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
