55 AIR NEW ZEALAND ANNUAL FINANCIAL RESULTS 2012 Corporate Governance at Air New Zealand

This section of the Annual Report provides an overview of Air New Zealand’s main corporate governance policies, practices and processes adopted and followed by the Board. More information is available to view at www.airnzinvestor.com, including policies referred to in this section.

ETHICAL STANDARDS Air New Zealand expects its directors and employees to act legally, ethically and with integrity in a manner consistent with Air New Zealand’s policies, guiding principles and values. The following measures have been put in place to assist with achieving this expectation: • Guide to Business Conduct This guide has been developed by the Group summarising the basic principles of legal and ethical conduct expected of everyone at Air New Zealand. • Open Communication and Just Culture The Group has a policy on Open Communication and Just Culture to encourage open and honest communication by staff about any current or potential problem, complaint, suggestion, concern or question. • Avoiding Conflicts of Interest To maintain integrity in decision making each director must advise the Board of any potential conflict of interest. If a significant conflict of interest exists the director concerned will have no involvement in the decision making process relating to that matter. • Trading in Air New Zealand Securities Directors and employees of Air New Zealand are subject to limitations on their ability to buy or sell Air New Zealand shares in accordance with Air New Zealand’s Securities Trading Policy, the NZSX and ASX Listing Rules and the Securities Markets Act 1988.

These authorisation levels are subject to internal and external audit.

Chairman Mr John Palmer has been Chairman of Air New Zealand since 2001. Mr Roger France was appointed Deputy Chairman in 2002.

Director Independence The Board’s standards for determining the independence of a director including the requirements of the NZSX Listing Rules and the ASX Recommendations are set out in full in the Board’s Charter. All seven of Air New Zealand’s directors, including the Chairman, are independent directors under those criteria. Directors are required to inform the Board of all relevant information which may affect their independence.

BOARD COMMITTEES The Board has delegated certain of its responsibilities to the Audit Committee, the Safety Committee and the People Remuneration and Diversity Committee. The committees play the following roles: • The Audit Committee assists the Board in discharging its responsibilities in relation to the financial reporting, compliance and risk management practices of Air New Zealand. • The People Remuneration and Diversity Committee (formerly the People Development and Remuneration Committee) monitors issues related to management structure, diversity and remuneration of the Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives. • The Safety Committee ensures that, at all times, Air New Zealand has workable systems and processes in place to provide the best practicable safety, security and environmental performance.

DIVERSITY Air New Zealand is focusing Diversity Initiatives across the business. We recognise that a diverse workforce will stimulate breadth of thought, innovation and customer insights to enable us to better service our broad customer base, and ultimately to deliver enhanced business performance. The People Development and Remuneration Committee (PDRC) has updated its name and charter to the People Remuneration and Diversity Committee (PRDC) to confirm its focus and emphasis on the governance of Diversity. Diversity issues will focus initially on gender and ethnicity. Key diversity achievements at Air New Zealand for the 2012 financial year include updating the diversity policy, commencement of programmes to mentor high potential women, the roll-out of a Leaders’ Toolkit for middle management addressing diversity with a specific emphasis on unconscious-bias, and providing seminars for women to network and address the challenges returning from parental leave.

REPORTING AND DISCLOSURE Air New Zealand has written policies and procedures in place to keep investors and staff informed of all material information about Air New Zealand and to ensure compliance with disclosure requirements under legislation and stock exchange listing rules. Board and Committee charters and policies of public relevance are published on Air New Zealand’s web site at www.airnzinvestor.com.

REMUNERATION AND PERFORMANCE EVALUATION

Executives Air New Zealand’s performance management system applies to the executive management group. The focus is on establishing goals, measures and targets linked directly to the business plan and to the leadership behaviours needed to achieve business success. Air New Zealand’s remuneration policies and practices are linked directly to the performance and development processes so that executive managers’ achievement of Air New Zealand’s goals is appropriately recognised and rewarded.

Non-executive Directors Air New Zealand’s non-executive directors do not participate in any executive remuneration scheme or employee share schemes; nor do they receive options, bonus payments or any incentive-based remuneration. Directors are entitled to be reimbursed by Air New Zealand for reasonable travelling, accommodation and other expenses they may incur whilst travelling to or from meetings of the directors or committees.

Board Evaluation The Board has included in its Charter a requirement to conduct an annual performance review of the Board as a whole after the financial year end. Individual director views and the views of members of the senior management team are sought on Board process, efficiency, and effectiveness, and are discussed by the Board as a whole. In conjunction with this process, those directors retiring annually by rotation who are standing for re-election have their performance evaluated by their fellow directors in a process co-ordinated by the Chairman, with individual feedback to each director as their evaluation is completed.

Differences in practice to NZX Code and ASX Recommendations Under the NZSX and ASX Listing Rules, Air New Zealand is required to disclose in this annual report the extent to which its corporate governance practices materially differ from the principles set out in the NZX Code and the ASX Recommendations.

REMUNERATION PHILOSOPHY In order to attract and retain talented individuals, Air New Zealand’s performance and reward strategy is aligned with both the recruitment philosophy – to source inspiring people, and our capability development agenda – to nurture future leaders and provide succession pipelines into key roles. The key objectives of the strategy are attracting high performing individuals, providing rich developmental opportunities and recognising achievement through targeted performance and reward initiatives. Air New Zealand’s remuneration strategy is underpinned by a pay for performance philosophy and accordingly positions base pay for competent performance below the market median for all Individual Employee Agreements including the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), and uses annual performance incentives to create opportunities for everyone to achieve market competitive remuneration levels and in the case of superior performance, total remuneration in excess of market. The overall remuneration strategy is designed to provide remuneration based on performance against agreed targets, align actions with shareholder interests and balance competitiveness with affordability. The CEO and executive remuneration packages are made up of three components: • Fixed base salary; • Annual performance incentive; and • Long term incentives.

FIXED BASE SALARY Air New Zealand’s philosophy is to set fixed base salaries at 90 percent of the market median for executives who are fully competent in their role.

ANNUAL PERFORMANCE INCENTIVE The annual performance incentive component is delivered through the Air New Zealand Short Term Incentive Scheme (STI). The measures used in determining the quantum of the STI are set annually. Targets relate to both Company financial performance and individual targets. For the CEO the STI weighting is based 70% on Company financial performance and 30% on individual performance against specific targets. For all other employees the weighting is 50% Company financial performance and 50% individual performance. The main factors for assessment are: • Financial performance falling within an executive’s specific responsibilities; • Business performance; • Strategy development and implementation; and • People, culture and leadership performance. At the beginning of each financial year the Board confirms a financial target for the Company for incentive payments which is set 10% above the average Normalised Earnings before Taxation achieved by the Company over the previous five year period.

LONG TERM INCENTIVE The Air New Zealand Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) is designed to align the interests of senior executives with those of our shareholders and to incentivise participants in the plan to enhance long term shareholder value. There are two main elements to the plan:

Mandatory Shareholding Participants are required to commit to investing a specified amount to purchase shares in the Company, which lies in the range of 25% to 66% of their base salary, according to seniority. Until the minimum shareholding level is attained, one third of the CEO or executives’ after-tax annual performance incentive payment is retained to purchase shares in the Company up to the point where this mandatory shareholding level is achieved. The holding must be maintained to enable the CEO or executive to exercise any options.

Options

2012 LTIP participants must achieve a performance rating of on target or better against individual STI targets to be eligible to receive a grant of options. Any grant of options is at the discretion of the People Remuneration and Diversity Committee (PRDC) of the Board of Directors but, in the normal course of events, is expected to equate to a value of 2½ times the STI earned on individual targets for the CEO, or 1½ times the STI earned on individual targets for all other scheme participants (the factor for the CEO being higher to reflect the lower proportion of STI based on individual performance (30% versus 50%)). The number of options to be allocated will be determined by an independent valuation of the options carried out each year at the time of issue. AIR NEW ZEALAND RESULTS FINANCIAL ANNUAL

66 Employee Remuneration (Continued) Employee Remuneration (Continued)

The exercise price of the options is set three years from issue date, and is calculated by multiplying the share price of the Company’s shares at the date of issue by the movement in an index over the three years to exercise date, decreased by any distributions made by Air New Zealand over the same period. The index comprises the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for the NZSX All Gross Index and the TSR for the Dow Jones World Airline Total Return Index in equal proportions. The share price at the date of issue is measured as the average daily closing price of ordinary shares over the ten business days starting on the third business day following the announcement of the Company’s annual results. Options may be exercised at any time after the third anniversary and before the fifth anniversary of the date of issue assuming any conditions outlined and any additional conditions set by the PRDC have been met. Unless Air New Zealand’s share price outperforms the index as outlined above, no value will accrue to the participating executive.

CEO REMUNERATION

Fixed Base Salary Over the course of the 2012 financial year, the CEO, Rob Fyfe, earned a base salary of $1,431,000 (2011 financial year: $1,350,000) paid in cash.

Annual Performance Incentive The annual value of the STI scheme for the CEO is set at 55% of base salary if all performance targets are achieved. If a performance rating below 90 is achieved, no STI is payable. Up to 110% of base salary is payable for outstanding performance. For the 2012 financial year, Rob Fyfe earned a total STI payment to the value of $338,809 (2011 financial year: $349,718). This payment will be made in the 2013 financial year.

Long Term Incentive Rob Fyfe has access to two long term incentives schemes: • the Air New Zealand Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP); and • the CEO Long Term Incentive Plan (CLTIP).

LTIP The mandatory shareholding commitment for the CEO is 66% of his fixed cash amount. For the 2012 financial year the value is $944,460. This holding must be maintained to enable the CEO to exercise any options. Rob Fyfe owns or has a beneficial interest in 1,192,321 shares of which 892,061 are held as part of the mandatory shareholding. Rob Fyfe earned 4,553,613 options under the LTIP for the 2011 financial year valued independently at $0.192 each, for a total value of $874,294 (which were issued in September 2011).

CLTIP The CEO Long Term Incentive Plan is solely an option based scheme and has a five year time horizon. It was established as a further incentive to retain the services of the current CEO for an extended period. The CEO option scheme commenced in the 2008 financial year and the issue of options will cease in the 2012 financial year. Each year, at the absolute discretion of the Board, options can be issued to the CEO based on 80% of the CEO’s fixed cash remuneration. Options issued under this scheme are not earned nor do they vest unless the CEO remains employed by Air New Zealand through to September 2012. If this condition is met the options may be exercised within two years after this date. The exercise price and valuation methodology of the options under the CLTIP mirror the LTIP scheme. So unless Air New Zealand’s share price outperforms the index, no value will accrue to the CEO.

Under the CLTIP, Rob Fyfe received a grant of 6,708,075 options for the 2011 financial year valued at $0.161 each, for a total value of 2012 $1,080,000 (which were issued in September 2011).

SUPERANNUATION The CEO is a member of Air New Zealand’s group superannuation scheme, KoruSaver. As a member of the scheme Rob Fyfe is eligible to contribute and receive a matching Company contribution up to 4% of gross taxable earnings (including STI). For the 2012 financial year the Company contribution was $71,229 (2011 financial year $71,536). AIR NEW ZEALAND RESULTS FINANCIAL ANNUAL

Place of Incorporation

New Zealand In New Zealand, the Company’s Ordinary Shares are listed with a “non-standard” (NS) designation. This is due to particular provisions of the Company’s Constitution, including the rights attaching to the Kiwi Share1 held by the Crown and requirements regulating ownership and transfer of Ordinary Shares. Neither the New Zealand Stock Exchange nor the Australian Stock Exchange has taken any disciplinary action against the Company during the financial year ended 30 June 2012.

General: An ongoing waiver granted to all companies dual listed on the NZX and the ASX from Listing Rules 11.1.1 and 11.1.4 to enable dual listed issuers to comply with the ASX Listing Rules relating to the restrictions on transfer of restricted (vendor) securities during an escrow period. The following waivers from the NZSX Listing Rules were granted to the Company or relied upon by the Company during the 12 month period ending on the date two months before the publication of the annual report: 1. A waiver from NZSX Listing Rule 8.1.7(b) to enable the issue of Long Term Incentive Scheme Options to be adjusted following a capital restructure such as a rights issue, in accordance with an approach suggested by PricewaterhouseCoopers. The decision by NZXR of 3 December 2007 noted that an independent expert’s opinion had confirmed that the approach suggested by PricewaterhouseCoopers would create economic neutrality for the option holders and all other Air New Zealand shareholders. 2. A waiver from NZSX Listing Rule 8.1.3 to allow Air New Zealand to issue options under the Executive Officer Option Incentive Plan to the Chief Executive Officer of Air New Zealand with an exercise price which may be less than 90% of the Average Market Price of Air New Zealand’s ordinary shares at the date of issue of the shares. The decision by NZXR of 31 October 2007 noted that Air New Zealand did not expect the percentage of shares to be issued under the Plan to be more than 1.1% of total shares on issue and that dilution of voting rights would be negligible. 3. A waiver from NZX Listing Rule 9.1.1 and 10.5.5(f) on July 23 2009 to allow Air New Zealand exemption from seeking shareholder approval for a transaction to acquire up to 14 narrow body A320 aircraft having a total market value of up to US$750 million, which amounts to an acquisition (either through purchase or lease) of assets with a relatively high value when measured against Air New Zealand’s Average Market Capitalisation. 4. In December 2011 Air New Zealand and Her Majesty the Queen in Right of New Zealand acting by and through the Chief Executive of the Ministry of Economic Development (the Crown) entered into an agreement for the provision by Air New Zealand of air travel services (the Agreement). The initial term of the Agreement is five years, with the potential for two rights of renewal for one year each. Under the Agreement Air New Zealand is appointed the sole preferred supplier of domestic New Zealand air travel services and a non-exclusive supplier of air travel services on Trans Tasman and international routes to all participating New Zealand Government Agencies. Air New Zealand was granted a waiver by NZX Market Supervision (NZXMS) from NZSX Listing Rule 9.2.1 so that it was not 2012 required to obtain shareholder approval by ordinary resolution for the entry into the Agreement (the Transaction). That waiver was granted on the following conditions: (a) two independent directors of Air New Zealand certify in writing to NZX that the Transaction has been negotiated on arms’ length commercial terms, entry into the Transaction is in the best interests of Air New Zealand shareholders (other than the Crown) and the Crown as the majority shareholder in Air New Zealand has not influenced the Board’s decision to enter into the Agreement; (b) when the initial term of the Transaction ends and if Air New Zealand and the Crown decide to renew the Transaction for a further term, at the time of such renewal two directors of Air New Zealand will make the certifications described above; and (c) the key terms of the Transaction (other than those which are commercially sensitive), the waiver, its condition and its effect are disclosed in the half year and annual reports for the year in which the Transaction takes place.

5. In connection with Air New Zealand’s offer of unsecured, unsubordinated fixed rate bonds (Bonds) by way of a simplified disclosure prospectus dated 25 August 2011, NZXMS granted Air New Zealand a waiver from NZDX Listing Rule 11.1.1 to enable Air New Zealand to decline to accept or register a transfer of Bonds if the transfer is not of an amount that is a multiple of $1,000 or the transfer would result in the transferor or transferee holding Bonds of an aggregate Principal Amount of less than $5,000.

Limitations on the Acquisition of Securities

Constitution The limitations on the acquisition of securities imposed by the Company’s Constitution are summarised below (capitalised terms are defined either in the Constitution or the Takeovers Code2): 1. Under clause 3.3 of the Constitution any person that owns or operates an airline business and any of its Associated Persons may not hold or have an Interest in any Equity Security unless the prior written consent of the Kiwi Shareholder has been obtained. 2. Under clause 3.4 of the Constitution any non-New Zealand National must obtain the prior written consent of the Kiwi Shareholder to hold or have an interest in 10 percent or more of the total Voting Rights in the Company. 3. The Board must decline to register a transfer of Equity Securities if it is aware that the Equity Securities have been transferred in contravention of the provisions referred to in (1) or (2) above. 4. The Board has other powers to decline to register a transfer of Shares, including in cases where the Board is of the opinion that the Shares would become, or be capable of being treated as, Affected Equity Securities. 5. Section 10 of the Company’s Constitution confers powers on the Board (and the Kiwi Shareholder) to treat Equity Securities as Affected Equity Securities in certain circumstances. In general terms those powers arise if the Board considers that it is necessary to treat any Equity Securities as Affected Equity Securities to protect the Company’s international airline operating rights. Where Equity Securities are treated as Affected Equity Securities the Voting Rights attaching to them may be suspended and the registered holder may be required to dispose of them.

The Takeovers Code The powers of the Board outlined above in relation to limiting acquisitions of its securities are in addition to the requirements of the New Zealand Takeovers Code. The Takeovers Code contains the following rules regulating acquisitions of substantial holdings. The Takeovers Code creates a general rule under which the acquisition of 20 percent or more of the voting rights in the Company or the increase of an existing holding of 20 percent or more of the voting rights in the Company can only occur in certain permitted ways. These include a full takeover offer in accordance with the Takeovers Code, a partial takeover offer in accordance with the Takeovers Code, an acquisition approved by an ordinary resolution, an allotment approved by an ordinary resolution, a creeping acquisition (in certain circumstances) or compulsory acquisition if a shareholder holds 90% or more of the voting rights in the Company.

Corporations Act 2001 (Australia) The Company is not subject to Chapters 6, 6A, 6B and 6C of the Corporations Act dealing with the acquisition of shares (such as substantial holdings and takeovers). 2012 AIR NEW ZEALAND RESULTS FINANCIAL ANNUAL
