Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the Board of Directors I am pleased to

Questions will need to be submitted by 10.00am on
Tuesday 24 June 2025, New Zealand Time (NZT).
If you cannot attend the meeting either in person or

the proxy form in accordance with the instructions on
that form so that it reaches MUFG Corporate Markets by
10.00am on Tuesday 24 June 2025 (NZT).
Items of Business

Chair, Claudia Batten, and Co-Founder and Chief Executive
Officer, Darrin Grafton, will provide an overview of the
Company’s performance for the year ended 31 March
2025, and the trading performance and strategy for the
current financial year. There will be an opportunity for
shareholders to ask questions after the addresses.
B. Ordinary Resolutions
Shareholders will be asked to consider, and if thought fit,
pass the following ordinary resolutions:
1. That Mr Darrin Grafton be re-elected as an executive
director of Serko Limited.
2. That Ms Jan Dawson be re-elected as a non-executive
director of Serko Limited.
3. That the directors are authorised to fix the fees and
expenses of Deloitte as auditor for the 2026 financial
year.
See explanatory notes on each of these resolutions below.
The Board recommends unanimously that you vote in
favour of all resolutions.
C. General Business and Shareholder Discussion

Explanatory Notes
Board Succession
As previously disclosed in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report, Clyde McConaghy will retire at the conclusion of the
2025 Annual Meeting. Consequently, he is not seeking re-election at this Annual Meeting. The Board thanks Clyde for his
leadership and commitment to the Company over the past 11 years.
Resolution 3:
Fixing the Fees and Expenses of the Auditor
Deloitte are currently Serko’s auditors and will automatically be reappointed under the Companies Act 1993 to act as auditor
for the 2026 financial year. Under the Act, auditor fees and expenses must be fixed in the manner determined at the Annual
Meeting. Shareholder approval is, therefore, sought to authorise the Board to fix the fees and expenses of Deloitte as auditor.
Resolution 1:
Re-election of Mr Darrin Grafton as an Executive Director
Darrin is one of the co-founders of Serko and is Serko’s Chief Executive Officer. He was
appointed as an executive director when Serko was incorporated on 5 April 2007 (and was re-
elected by shareholders in August 2019 and August 2022). In accordance with the NZX Listing
Rules, Darrin retires by rotation and offers himself for re-election as a director of Serko at the
meeting. The Board unanimously supports Darrin’s re-election and considers Darrin to be a non-
independent director as he is an executive officer and substantial shareholder of Serko.
Darrin Grafton
Non-Independent Executive Director
Darrin has more than 30 years’ experience in travel technology and is a recognised industry innovator, named twice as one
of the top 25 most influential executives in the travel industry by the BTN Group. Darrin has held directorships and senior
management positions across a number of private and public companies, including the Gullivers Travel Group. In 2021 Darrin
was awarded the INFINZ Leadership Award and has previously been awarded the NZX Hi-Tech Entrepreneur Award. He is a
member of the Institute of IT Professionals NZ and the Institute of Directors NZ.
Resolution 2:
Re-election of Ms Jan Dawson as a Non-Executive Director
Jan Dawson was appointed as a director by the Board on 18 August 2021 and elected by
shareholders on 31 August 2022. During her tenure, Jan has been the Chair of the Audit, Risk
and Sustainability Committee at Serko. In accordance with the NZX Listing Rules, Jan retires
by rotation and offers herself for re-election as a director of Serko at the meeting. The Board
unanimously supports Jan’s re-election and considers Jan to be an independent director.
Jan Dawson
Independent, Non-Executive Director
Jan is Chair of Port of Auckland and a director of ACC. She was previously Chair of Westpac New Zealand, Deputy Chair for
Air New Zealand, and a director of Beca, AIG NZ and Meridian Energy, and a member of the University of Auckland Council.
She was a partner of KPMG for 30 years and the Chair and Chief Executive of KPMG New Zealand from 2006 until 2011. She
holds a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Auckland and is a fellow of the New Zealand Institute of Chartered
Accountants and a fellow of the Institute of Directors in New Zealand. In 2024 she was named Chairperson of the Year
at the Deloitte Top 200 Awards.

PROXY FORM/ADMISSION CARD FOR SERKO LIMITED 2025 ANNUAL SHAREHOLDERS MEETING
The Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Serko Limited (the “Company”) will be held at the offices of MUFG Corporate Markets, Level 30, PwC Tower, 15 Customs
Street West, Auckland and online via the MUFG Corporate Markets online portal at www.virtualmeeting.co.nz/sko25 on Thursday 26 June 2025 commencing at
10.00am (New Zealand time). If you will be attending online, you will require your Holder Number for verification purposes.

Appointment of proxy
A shareholder of the Company who is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of that shareholder. If you
appoint a proxy, you may still attend the meeting (but will not be able to vote if your proxy also attends the meeting). A proxy need not be a shareholder of the
Company. Any corporation that is a shareholder may appoint a person as its representative to attend the meeting and vote on its behalf, in the same manner as that
in which it could appoint a proxy. If you do not name a person as your proxy, or your named proxy does not attend the meeting, the Chair will be appointed your
proxy and may only vote in accordance with your express direction.
Voting of your holding
If you appoint a proxy you must either direct the proxy how to vote by ticking the ‘For’, ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’ box in respect of each resolution OR by ticking the
‘Proxy Discretion’ box in respect of each resolution. If you do not tick a box your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on a resolution your
vote will be invalid on that resolution. If you tick the ‘Proxy Discretion’ box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy to decide how to vote on that
resolution on your behalf. If you tick the ‘Abstain’ box for a particular resolution, you are directing your proxy not to vote on that resolution. If a proxy does not vote
on your behalf on a resolution, your votes will not be counted when calculating the majority of that resolution.
The Chair of the meeting or any director is willing to act as proxy for any shareholder who appoints him/her for that purpose. If you tick the ‘Proxy Discretion’ box,
you acknowledge that they may exercise your proxy even if they have an interest in the outcome of that resolution (subject to any restrictions contained in the NZX
Listing Rules). The Chair and directors intend to vote all discretionary proxies in favour of resolutions 1, 2 and 3 even if they have an interest in any of the resolutions.
Your proxy may also vote at any adjournment of the meeting, and to vote as they think fit (to the extent permitted by law and the NZX Listing Rules) on any
resolutions to amend any of the resolutions, or any resolution so amended and on any other resolution proposed at the Annual Meeting (or any adjournment
thereof) so as to give effect to your intention as set out below where possible.
