Explanatory notes
1 Re-election of Directors
Under the NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1, a Director must not hold office past the later of three years
and the third Annual Meeting after their appointment without being re-elected by
shareholders. The Directors to retire, Mr Dean Bracewell and Mr Brodie Stevens, are required
to retire from office at the Annual Meeting.
The Directors advise that Mr Dean Bracewell and Mr Brodie Stevens will retire at the meeting
and both being eligible, offers themselves for re-election at the Annual Meeting with the
unanimous support of the Board.
The Board has determined that both Mr Bracewell and Mr Stevens are considered to be
independent directors as defined in the NZX Listing Rules.
Accordingly, it is proposed to consider, and if thought fit, to:
1Re-elect Mr Dean John Bracewell; and
2Re-elect Mr John Brodie (Brodie) Stevens.
Details of the above two Directors are set out below:
Dean John Bracewell
Independent Director
Dean Bracewell has deep transport and logistics industry experience. He was a former
Managing Director for Freightways, one of New Zealand’s largest transport and logistics
companies for more than 18 years before embarking on a governance career in 2018. He has
previously served on the Boards of Tainui Group Holdings and the NZ Initiative and its
predecessor, the New Zealand Business Roundtable.
Currently Dean is Chair of Property for Industry, and a Director of Air New Zealand, the
Halberg Trust, and Northport Group. He joined the Board in December 2021.
John Brodie Stevens (Brodie)
LLB, FCILT (Fellow Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport)
Independent Director
Brodie Stevens is an experienced executive and company director with a background in New
Zealand’s transport and logistics sectors. A trained lawyer and Fellow of the Chartered
Institute of Logistics and Transport, Brodie has held senior leadership roles, including
Country Manager for Swire Shipping NZ (retiring in 2022) and divisional leadership positions

PrimePort Timaru, New Zealand Post, Eastland Port, and Chair of the Maritime
Superannuation Scheme. He is also actively involved in governance roles for the Whanganui
Collegiate School and the NZ Maritime Museum Foundation. Brodie joined the Board 1

2 Directors’ remuneration
In accordance with the NZX Listing Rules 2.11.1 and 2.11.2, the company is seeking the
approval of shareholders to increase the authorised monetary sum per annum available for
payment of Directors’ fees by $106,500, in aggregate, to a pool of $1,231,500 (plus GST if any)
for all the Directors. This represents an increase of 9.5% to the current pool.
The company currently has approval to pay a maximum of $1,125,000 in aggregate to
Directors for their remuneration as Directors. The Board last reviewed Directors’
remuneration in 2024.
This year the company engaged PricewaterhouseCoopers Limited (PwC) to provide
benchmark data, for a comparator group consisting of thirteen listed New Zealand
companies for the roles of Chair, Committee Chairs, Committee Members and Directors. The
basis for the comparator group composition was comparable market capitalisation, together
with inclusion of relevant industry comparators. The purpose of the review was to assess the
appropriateness of Directors’ fees and to ensure that the company’s remuneration practices
remain aligned with market trends and support its objective of attracting and retaining high-
calibre Directors.
The Board intends to increase Directors’ fees by role, over a two-year period, across the 2026
and 2027 financial years, to achieve this market median level. PwC conclude that the
proposed fees would position Directors’ fees within the company policy range, being the
median of the peer comparator group.
The Board reviewed the PwC report and based on a comparison of the company’s Directors’
fees to the market data, consider the increases to the Directors’ remuneration set out in the
table below are appropriate to attract and retain high performing Directors.
A summary of the PwC report is available at the Investor Centre athttp://www.port-
tauranga.co.nz/investors/annual-meetings/.
Based on the current Board composition, the total annual Directors’ fee pool is expected to
be allocated as outlined in the following table. The Board has retained a portion of the pool to
provide for discretionary payments, should Directors be required to undertake extraordinary
duties or if a new Board committee is established.
