Meridian Energy schedules 2025 annual shareholder meeting, director re-elections

Meridian Energy Limited will host its annual shareholder meeting (ASM) on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 9:30 AM. The meeting will be held at Level 2, 98 Customhouse Quay, Wellington, New Zealand, and will also offer virtual participation through Computershare's Meeting Platform. The vote-eligibility date for shareholders is Friday, October 17, 2025, at the close of trading, with postal votes and proxy forms due by Sunday, October 19, 2025, at 9:30 AM.

Shareholders will vote on four ordinary resolutions regarding the re-election of directors: Julia Hoare, Michelle Henderson, Nagaja Sanatkumar, and Graham Cockroft. All four directors are retiring by rotation and are eligible for re-election. The board has determined that all re-standing directors are independent directors as defined by the NZX Listing Rules.

Julia Hoare, Nagaja Sanatkumar, and Michelle Henderson were initially appointed in 2019/2020, while Graham Cockroft joined in 2022. The company aims to stagger director re-election terms to have no more than two or three directors seeking re-election annually. Following these re-elections, Julia Hoare and Nagaja Sanatkumar are expected to seek re-election again in 2027, with Michelle Henderson and Graham Cockroft expected to stand for re-election in three years' time.
