Explanatory Notes
These notes form part of the Notice of Annual Meeting
Ordinary Resolution 1: Appointment and Remuneration of Auditor
Section 207T of the Companies Act 1993 provides that a company’s auditor is automatically reappointed
unless there is a resolution or other reason for the auditor not to be re-appointed. Scales wishes Deloitte to
continue as Scales’ auditor, and Deloitte has indicated its willingness to do so.
Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 provides that the fees and expenses of the auditor are to be fixed
in such a manner as Scales determines at the Annual Meeting. The Board proposes that, consistent with
past practice, the auditor’s fees be fixed by the Directors. The Board unanimously recommends that
shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 1.
Ordinary Resolution 2: Election of Paul Munro
The NZX Listing Rules state that Directors appointed by the Board must not hold office (without election by
Shareholders) past the next annual meeting following the Director’s appointment. Paul Munro was
appointed by the Board on 14 October 2025 and is accordingly required to retire at this meeting. Paul,
being eligible, offers himself for election, and the Board unanimously supports his election and
recommends that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 2.
Having had regard to the factors described in the NZX Corporate Governance Code that may impact
director independence, the Board considers that Paul Munro will be a Non-Executive Independent Director.

Ordinary Resolution 6: Directors’ Remuneration
This resolution seeks Shareholder approval to increase the aggregate amount of remuneration (“fee pool”)
that may be paid each year to the Directors of Scales for their services as Directors. The proposed increase
in fee pool is $130,000 per annum (being the equivalent of AUD110,000), from a total fee pool of $625,000
per annum to $755,000 per annum (an increase of 20.8%), for the financial year ending 31 December 2026
and onwards, with such sums to be divided amongst the Directors as the Board may from time to time
determine.
The current fee pool of $625,000 was approved by Shareholders at Scales’ 2025 Annual Meeting, when it
was decreased from $746,800 per annum to $625,000 per annum to reflect the number of Non-Executive
Directors of Scales reducing from seven to five. If Shareholders approve Resolution 6, the increased annual
fee pool will apply until such time as the amount is altered by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders,
subject to adjustment as permitted by the NZX Listing Rules.
The proposed increase in fee pool is being sought as a consequence of Scales increasing its shareholding in
its Australian-based Global Proteins joint ventures in 2025. This increase in shareholding resulted in
Meateor Australia, Fayman International and ANZ Exports (Australian Acquired Entities) becoming wholly,
or partially, owned subsidiaries of Scales (because following the transactions, Scales’ ownership was more
than 50% of those entities). Each of Meateor Australia, Fayman International and ANZ Exports currently
have two Directors, who receive combined Director fees (paid by the Australian Acquired Entities) of
AUD110,000. The NZX Listing Rules provide that no remuneration may be paid by an Issuer, or its
subsidiaries, to a Director in that capacity without approval by an ordinary resolution of Shareholders.
Although the fees for the directors of the Australian Acquired Entities were, and will continue to be, paid by
the Australian Acquired Entities, now that the Australian Acquired Entities are subsidiaries of Scales, these
fees will need to be accommodated within Scales’ fee pool.
Scales’ current fee pool of $625,000 is not sufficient to remunerate the Australian Subsidiary Directors.
Consequently, Scales seeks shareholder approval to increase its fee pool by $130,000, being the equivalent
of AUD110,000, in order to accommodate the payment of Directors’ fees to the Directors of the Australian
Acquired Entities. It is not proposed that any director will receive an increase to the fees they are paid per
annum from the fee pool. Accordingly, following the proposed fee pool increase, the Board intends for
Director fees to be divided amongst the Directors as follows:
Role FY25 fee per annum
(NZD)
Proposed FY26 fee
per annum (NZD)
Scales Board Independent Chair $176,000 $176,000
Scales Non-Executive Director $85,000 $85,000
Chair of Audit and Risk Management Committee $18,000 $18,000
Chair of Nominations and Remuneration Committee $15,000 $15,000
Chair of Health & Safety and Sustainability Committee $12,000 $12,000
Chair of Finance and Treasury Committee $9,000 $9,000
Committee Member $6,000 $6,000

These fees were, and will continue to be, paid by the Australian Acquired Entities, but were not paid from
in the fee pool in FY25.

exchange rate of NZD 1.00 to AUD 0.85 and rounded to the nearest thousand.
