2023 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting and Director Nominations
Tena tatou e hika ma,
There are some important meetings and dates we need to let shareholders know about.
Annual Meeting
The 2023 Annual Shareholders’ Meeting will be held at 10:00am (New Zealand time) on Wednesday, 11 October 2023. The meeting will be held virtually via Computershare’s online meeting platform. Further details for participation and voting online will be included in the formal Notice of Annual Shareholders’ Meeting which will be released prior to the meeting.
Following the Annual Shareholders Meeting there will be an investor meeting conducted in Ruatorea where many shareholders reside, which will provide an opportunity to meet and interact with the Board and management. More details will be provided closer to the time.
Director Nominations
The closing date for Director nominations is 5:00pm NZST on Tuesday 5 September 2023.
Over the last 12 months Rua has been right-sized to ensure it is agile enough to compete in this dynamic market. The Board has also reduced to four Directors, three of whom are standing for election/re-election. Rua has a comprehensive Board Skills matrix to ensure that Directors have the skills to carry out their duties. In addition, Directors are required to actively contribute to guiding management’s actions to ensure the sustainable and profitable growth of the business.
No person (other than a Director retiring at the meeting) shall be elected as a Director at an Annual Shareholders Meeting unless the person has been nominated by a shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting. That nomination must be accompanied by the consent in writing of the person nominated.
Any nominations should be either emailed to myself at paul.naske@ruabio.com or addressed to Paul Naske, Chief Executive Officer, Rua Bioscience Limited, PO Box 1387, Gisborne, 4040.
Hei konei rā mō tēnei wā, noho ora mai.
Paul Naske
Chief Executive Officer
