NOTES TO THE AGENDA


Note 1 – Auditor: Resolution 1


Deloitte Limited (Deloitte) is the current auditor of Foley Wines Limited. The Companies Act 1993

provides that a company’s auditor is automatically reappointed unless the shareholders resolve to

appoint a replacement auditor, or there is another reason for the auditor not to be reappointed.


Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 further provides that the auditors’ fees and expenses must

be fixed by the Company, or in the manner that the Company determines at a shareholders’ meeting.


Shareholders are being asked to resolve that the Board is authorised to fix the fees and expenses of

Deloitte for the current year.


Note 2 - Election of Directors: Resolution 2


Pursuant to 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. Paul Brock

retires in accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1. Paul has confirmed that he is available for re-

election.


In accordance with clause 10.9 of the Company’s Constitution Tony Anselmi, being a Non-executive

director who has served longer than nine years, is subject to annual re-election. Tony has confirmed

that he will be retiring from the Board at the conclusion of the ASM and will not seek re-election.


Biographies:


Paul Brock (Non-Executive Independent Chairman and Director)


Paul Brock was appointed to the Board with effect from 1 November 2018 and was appointed

Deputy Chairman from that date. Paul was appointed Chairman of the Board on 1 April 2023

following the resignation of William P Foley II as Chairman of the Board on 31 March 2023.


Paul Brock was the Kiwibank Group Chief Executive from 2010-2017. He was Co-Founder of the

bank which was launched in 2002. As Group Chief Executive Paul led the Kiwibank Group through

a period of rapid growth and diversification into business banking, wealth management, insurance

and asset finance. The bank is now a major player in the New Zealand market with one in four New

Zealanders holding an account with Kiwibank.


Paul has a strong background in governance, management, growth business development, brand

development and marketing. An extensive background in the financial services industry has also

included senior management positions with Westpac and Trust Bank. Paul has been Chairman of

Gareth Morgan Investments Ltd and Kiwibank Investment Management Ltd and the Massey

University Business School Advisory Board. He has also been a Director of Kiwi Insurance Ltd,

New Zealand Home Loans Ltd, Kiwibank Custodial Services Ltd, AMP Home Loans Ltd, Kiwi

Capital Securities Ltd, Kiwi Capital Funding Ltd Kiwi Wealth Management Ltd and Cigna Life

Insurance New Zealand Ltd.

Foley Wines Limited Page 3 Notice of Annual Meeting

Nominations for Directors closed at 5.00 pm on Friday 25 September 2026.


No further Nominations were received.


Note 3 - Directors Fees: Resolution 3


In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 2.11.1 the following ordinary resolution will be submitted to the

shareholders at the meeting:

“THAT the total amount of Directors’ fees payable annually to all Directors taken together for their

services as Directors be increased by $105,000 from $240,000 to $345,000 to be distributed amongst

Directors as they so determine with effect from 1st July 2026.”


The Directors are recommending the proposed increase in Directors Fees taking into account the fact

that the fees have remained static since JYE2019. Since then, the regulatory landscape in which the

Company operates has continued to change, with increased regulatory risk and obligations resulting in

increased demand on Directors’ time and broadening their scope of responsibilities in monitoring and

assessing legal and regulatory compliance. The increase is being proposed to bring fees closer to the

market rate for similar size companies when compared to the latest NZ Institute of Directors/EY survey.

In future the Board proposes Directors Fees be reviewed annually based on company performance and

market trends. The Board recognises the importance of offering competitive remuneration to attract and

retain the high calibre of directors necessary to direct and support the continued growth of the Company.


The proposed fee pool is based on the current four non-executive directors.


In accordance with NZX Listing Rule 6.3 Directors and their Associates are excluded from voting on

this resolution in respect of their own shares and discretionary proxies.
