EXPLANATORY NOTES
For personal use only
Each resolution is proposed as an ordinary resolution and, to be passed, requires approval by a simple majority of votes of the shareholders of My Food Bag who are entitled to vote on the resolution and who exercise their right to vote. No person is subject to any voting restriction in relation to any of these resolutions.
Resolution 1: Re-election of Tony Carter
Tony Carter retires and being eligible offers himself for re-election. This decision to retire before being required to do so under NZX Listing Rule 2.7.1 has been made for continuity purposes to stagger the appointment of Directors to avoid a scenario where a majority of the Directors are required to retire at the same meeting next year. The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Tony Carter. He is considered by the Board to be an independent director.
Tony joined the Board of My Food Bag in January 2021 and was appointed Chair at that time. | |
He has a broad range of experience in governance across the consumer, industrial services, | |
infrastructure and energy sectors. Tony moved into governance following a successful executive | |
career, where he served as Chief Executive and Managing Director at Foodstuffs for 10 years. | |
Tony is currently Chair of Datacom, TR Group, The Interiors Group and The Skin Institute and also | |
sits on the board of Vector. He was formerly Chair of Air New Zealand for six years, Chair of | |
Fisher & Paykel Healthcare for eight years, a director of Fletcher Building for nine years and a | |
director of ANZ Bank New Zealand for 10 years. | |
Tony graduated from the University of Canterbury with a Bachelor of Engineering with honours, | |
before completing a Masters of Philosophy at Loughborough University of Technology in the | |
TONY CARTER | United Kingdom. In 2020, Tony was made a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for |
services to business governance. |
Resolution 2: Election of Cecilia Robinson
The Board has nominated Cecilia Robinson to be a Director of My Food Bag. This nomination was made by the Directors, collectively, in their capacity as shareholders of My Food Bag under NZX Listing Rule 2.3.1. Cecilia has accepted that nomination, and the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of her election at the Annual Meeting. If elected, the Board has determined that at this time Cecilia would be a non-independent director of My Food Bag having had regard to the non-exhaustive factors set out in the NZX Corporate Governance Code and Cecilia's long association with My Food Bag, including as co-founder.
Cecilia co-founded My Food Bag in 2012, was co-CEO until mid-2018 and served as a director of the company prior to its public listing in 2021. Cecilia has significant institutional knowledge about My Food Bag. Her entrepreneurial background and innovative drive would also complement the existing skills on the Board, and help support My Food Bag through its next exciting chapter of growth. Cecilia is also the founder and co-CEO of Tend Health and is a member of the Institute of Directors, a board member of Pie Funds, and a board member and founding trustee of the Prince's Trust Aotearoa, New Zealand.
CECILIA ROBINSON
Resolution 3: Auditor's remuneration
The current auditor of My Food Bag, EY, will be automatically reappointed as My Food Bag's auditor at the annual meeting in accordance with section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. Under that legislation, the auditor's fees and expenses must be fixed at the annual meeting or in the manner that the company determines at the meeting. Shareholder approval is therefore sought for the Directors of My Food Bag to fix EY's fees and expenses for the ensuing financial year. The Board unanimously supports this resolution and recommends that you vote in favour of it at the meeting.
