    EXPLANATORY NOTES
    RESOLUTION 1: RE-ELECTION OF MR. DEREK HANDLEY AS A DIRECTOR
    
    Mr. Derek Handley is retiring by rotation and offers himself for re-election.
    The Board has determined that Mr. Derek Handley is an Executive Director and
    does not qualify as an Independent Director. The Board unanimously recommends
    that shareholders vote in favour of his re-election.
    
    In 2001, Derek founded one of the first companies in the world that
    recognised the power of mobile devices for connecting consumers, brands and
    mass media called The Hyperfactory. It is the most awarded mobile agency
    globally and was listed by Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the Top 100
    Brightest Ideas of 2010 and Brandweek's 10 Biggest Ideas of 2008. Meredith
    Corporation (NYSE:MDP) acquired the company in 2010.
    
    Derek has won several awards recognising his success in business including
    New Zealand Herald Business
    Leader of the Year, Ernst & Young New Zealand 'Young Entrepreneur' of the
    Year, PWC Hi-Tech Young Achiever of the Year, and a Sir Peter Blake Trust
    Leader. He has also been named one of the most influential technology people
    in New York, making the list of the 'Silicon Alley 100' in 2011.
    
    In December 2011, Derek Handley donated two years of his life to work with
    Sir Richard Branson, Arianna Huffington, Unilever CEO Paul Polman and many
    others to help create what is now The B Team - a global leadership collective
    on a mission to catalyse a better way of doing business for the wellbeing of
    people and the planet.
    
    He also carries the B-Team vision with him as an Adjunct Executive Professor
    at AUT University, Chair and Co-Founder of NZAX-listed B-Corp Snakk Media,
    Board Director at Sky Television, founder of late-stage technology investment
    fund Iliad, New Zealand Arts Foundation Trustee, and as an
    Astronaut-in-Waiting at Virgin Galactic.
    
    RESOLUTION 2: AUDITOR APPOINTMENT AND REMUNERATION
    
    It is prudent governance to undertake a review of the provision of audit
    services on a regular basis and the Board undertook a thorough review of the
    audit services provided to the Company and its subsidiaries earlier this
    year. Due to the size of the business the tender was opened to mid-tier audit
    service firms to provide proposals. PwC our previous auditor, did not tender
    for the audit.
    
    The outcome of the review was the selection of Staples Rodway as the
    preferred supplier.
    
    Accordingly, the Board proposes that the Company appoint Staples Rodway as
    auditor of the Company in place of PricewaterhouseCoopers in accordance with
    section 207T of the Companies Act 1993. Staples Rodway has indicated its
    willingness to act as auditor of the Company. The proposed ordinary
    resolution also authorises the Board to fix the fees and expenses of the
    auditor for the ensuing year.
    
    GENERAL BUSINESS
    Shareholders may submit written questions to be considered for answering at
    the Annual Shareholders Meeting. Written questions should be sent by post to

    not to consider any written question that, in the Board's opinion, is not
    reasonable in the context of an Annual Shareholders Meeting or any question
    received fewer than five workings days prior to the Annual Shareholders
    Meeting (i.e. after 8 September 2014).
