Explanatory notes

Resolutions 1 and 2 -

Election of Phillippa Harford and Joe Windmeyer

Directors appointed by the Board to fill casual vacancies during the year are required to retire at the next annual meeting following their appointment and seek election by shareholders. Accordingly, Phillippa Harford and Joe Windmeyer are both standing for election.

The Board has determined that Phillippa Harford is not an independent director because of her association with Infratil Limited. She stands for election with the unanimous support of the Board.

The Board has determined that Joe Windmeyer is not an independent director because of his association with Infratil Limited and his position as a partner at Russell McVeagh, a provider of material professional services to Manawa Energy. He stands for election with the unanimous support of the board.

Brief biographical details for Phillippa and Joe can be found at the end of this notice.

Resolution 3

The auditors of Manawa Energy are automatically reappointed under section 207(T)(1) of the Companies Act 1993. Section 207S of the Companies Act 1993 states that the fees and expenses of the auditor are to be fixed by the company at the annual meeting or in such manner as the company determines at the annual meeting. The proposed resolution is to authorise the Board, consistent with past practice, to fix the fees and expenses of the auditor.

Procedural matters

Ordinary resolutions

All three resolutions are ordinary resolutions that are passed if approved by a simple majority (i.e. more than 50%) of the shareholders entitled to vote and voting. There are no voting restrictions on the resolutions to be considered at the meeting.

Shareholder motions

The only matters being discussed and voted on at the meeting are the resolutions contained in this notice of meeting. No motions will be allowed from the floor.

Proxies and corporate representatives

A shareholder of Manawa Energy who is entitled to attend and vote can appoint a proxy to attend and vote in their place. A proxy does not need to be a shareholder of Manawa Energy. Any corporation that is a shareholder of Manawa Energy may appoint a person as its representative to attend the meeting and vote on its behalf in the same way it could appoint a proxy.

The Chair of the meeting will act as a proxy for any shareholder who may wish to appoint him for that purpose. The Chair intends to vote all discretionary proxies, for which he has authority to vote, in favour of the resolutions.

Where a shareholder does not name a person as their proxy but otherwise completes the proxy form in full, or where a shareholder's named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair of the meeting will act as that shareholder's proxy and vote in accordance with that shareholder's express direction and, if expressly granted a discretion on how to vote, will vote in favour of the resolutions.
