Dear fellow shareholder,
On behalf of the Board of directors I am pleased to invite you to the Annual Meeting of NZX Limited shareholders, commencing at 10.00am on Friday 30 June 2017.
I look forward to welcoming you to our offices for the Annual Meeting at the NZX Centre, Level 1, 11 Cable Street, Wellington.
At the meeting, the Board will be joined by our recently appointed CEO Mark Peterson and the executive team. I will present an overview of NZX’s performance and Mark will introduce himself to shareholders and set out the key areas of focus for the company under his leadership. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions. At the conclusion of the meeting you are invited to join the Board and executive team for light refreshments, and following this there will be an opportunity to tour our office.
At this year’s meeting, we have four director elections, one of which is not supported by the Board. As such it is important that I take this opportunity to update you on the rigorous process we have in place to ensure our director appointment process at NZX is focused on identifying and appointing qualified candidates who collectively possess the right level of skills and experience.
I have prepared the attached letter which outlines this process and provides an overview of each nominated director’s skills and experience against the Board’s skills matrix. I encourage you to please take some time to read the attached materials and note the Board’s stance in respect of director elections:
• Unanimously supports resolutions 2, 3 and 4, which relate to the election of Frank Aldridge, Richard Bodman and the re-election of Dr Patrick Strange; and
• Does not support resolution 5 which relates to Tony Falkenstein’s election. Mr Falkenstein has nominated himself as a director.
