Explanatory Statement

1. Financial Statements

The Company’s Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report for the year ended 29 June 2025 are set out in its Annual Report, available at https://www.accentgr.com.au/investor/investor-information.

There is no requirement for shareholders to vote on these reports, but shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the AGM to ask questions about or make comments on the management of the Company. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity at the AGM to ask the Company’s auditor, PricewaterhouseCoopers, questions about the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in its preparation of the financial statements and the independence of PricewaterhouseCoopers in relation to the conduct of the audit.

2. Remuneration Report

The Company’s Remuneration Report for the year ended 29 June 2025 (“Remuneration Report”) is set out on pages 28 to 44 of the Company’s Annual Report, available at https://www.accentgr.com.au/investor/investor-information.

The Board continues to respond to feedback received from shareholders and their advisors in relation to the Company’s remuneration practices and will continue to maintain the same level of transparency provided in the Remuneration Report in relation to STI disclosures.

The Board will continue to review KMP remuneration to ensure that it aligns with the Company’s strategy, motivates management and supports the delivery of superior and sustainable long-term returns to shareholders. As part of the review process, the Company will continue to engage with its major shareholders and proxy advisors.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the Company is required to present the Remuneration Report to its shareholders at the AGM and shareholders will be asked to vote on this item. The vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company, but the Directors will have regard to the outcome of the vote and the discussion at the AGM when determining the Company’s remuneration strategy.

Under the Corporations Act, if holders of 25% or more of Shares present and eligible to vote at the Meeting vote against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive AGMs, shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a further resolution (“Spill Resolution”) that another meeting be held within 90 days, at which meeting, all of the Company’s Directors (other than any managing director) must go up for

re-election. Shareholders will recall that at the 2024 AGM, holders of more than 75% of the Shares present and eligible to vote approved the remuneration report resolution and therefore, there will be no requirement for a Spill Resolution at this AGM.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice of Meeting.

Board Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution in Item 2.

3. Re-election of Mr David Forsey

Mr David Forsey was appointed by the Board after the last AGM and, in accordance with the Company’s Constitution and the ASX Listing Rules, is offering himself for election as a Director of the Company. His qualifications, experience and expertise are set out below.

In respect of Mr Forsey, the Company confirms that it has conducted appropriate checks into his background and experience.

Mr Forsey is the director appointed to the Board by Frasers Group, plc, a substantial shareholder of the Company, in accordance with its director nominee rights under its Subscription Agreement with the Company announced on 15 April 2025. The Board considers, that due to the relationship with Frasers Group, plc, Mr Forsey is not an independent director.

If the resolution in this Item 3 is passed, Mr Forsey will be re-elected as a non-executive Director, until such time as he ceases to be a Director in accordance with the Constitution, the Corporations Act, the ASX Listing Rules or the Subscription Agreement between the Company and Frasers Group, plc announced on 15 April 2025. If the resolution in this Item 3 is not passed, Mr Forsey will not be re-elected as a Director and will cease to be a Director at the AGM (however Frasers Group, plc will still have director nominee rights under its Subscription Agreement and Mr Forsey could be re-appointed by Frasers Group, plc in accordance with its rights).

Mr David Forsey Non-Executive Director

Summary: Mr Forsey joined Frasers Group, plc in 1984, dedicating 32 years to the business as he helped grow it from one store to a diverse global sporting goods retailer. Mr Forsey was named Managing Director of Sports Direct International until 2007, when he was appointed as Chief Executive Officer. In 2017, Mr Forsey transitioned to a consulting role,

Explanatory Statement

lending his expertise to numerous Retail and Brand businesses. In 2020, he became Managing Director at Revolution Beauty. Mr Forsey now serves as General Manager APMEA for Frasers Group, plc with a focus on the group’s international expansion through organic growth, M&A, joint ventures, and franchise opportunities.

Mr Forsey was appointed to the Board of the Company as a non-executive director on 21 November 2024.

Board Recommendation

The Directors (with Mr Forsey abstaining) unanimously support the re-election of Mr Forsey and recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution in Item 3.

4. Variations to the Tranche 8 performance rights

Background

The Company’s performance rights plan (the Performance Rights Plan), which is the subject of approval by shareholders at the Meeting for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2 under resolution (a) of Item 6, authorises the Board to grant performance rights to eligible employees.

In FY25 the Board granted the Tranche 8 performance rights to the Company’s employees, which cover the assessment period of FY25-FY27. For the Tranche 8 performance rights, the Board set a sliding scale performance-based vesting condition, requiring the achievement of annual compounding diluted earnings per share (“EPS[1] ”) growth over the relevant assessment period, as well as a retention condition, as summarised below.

As published in the Company’s 2025 Remuneration Report (which is set out in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report), the performance condition for the Tranche 6 performance rights granted in 2021 (which covered the assessment period of FY22-FY25) was not met, and accordingly no rights vested. This was in addition to the performance condition for the Tranche 5 performance rights granted in 2020 (which covered the assessment period of FY21-FY24) not being met, and accordingly also not vesting. It has become clear to the Board that the modified performance condition for the Tranche 7 performance rights granted in 2023 (which cover the assessment period of FY24-FY26) and the performance condition for the Tranche 8 performance rights are unlikely to be achieved. Accordingly, the Board is concerned that those Tranche 7 and Tranche 8 performance rights are no longer meeting their objectives of acting as an incentive to performance and retention. The Company has experienced significant business challenges over the past few years which are, to a large extent, attributable to the prevailing post covid economic environment, including several years of high inflation,

successive rises in interest rates (until recently), lower USD/AUD exchange rates and subdued discretionary spending. Those challenges have impacted the Company’s earnings. With consideration to the stated objectives of the Performance Rights Plan and the Company’s profit results in FY24 and FY25, which appear to represent the new baseline for the Company that is reflective of the above mentioned prevailing post covid economic environment, the Board has taken a view that the base year off which the performance conditions for the Tranche 7 and Tranche 8 performance rights were set, and the increased annual compounding diluted EPS growth targets applied to the performance condition for those performance rights, were overly ambitious. The Board is therefore proposing to modify the performance condition for the Tranche 8 performance rights held by participants (other than those held by the Company’s CEO, Mr Daniel Agostinelli) only (with the performance condition for the Tranche 7 performance rights to remain unchanged, meaning they are unlikely to vest).

Under the rules governing the Performance Rights Plan (the Plan Rules), the Board has the discretion to amend the Plan Rules, including any performance conditions.

There are currently 3,788,205 performance rights on issue under Tranche 8 held by participants (excluding the Tranche 8 performance rights held by the Company’s CEO, Mr Daniel Agostinelli). For the avoidance of doubt, the Tranche 8 performance rights the subject of the resolution in this Item 4 do not include the 1,175,115 Tranche 8 performance rights held by the Company’s CEO, Mr Daniel Agostinelli.

Further details of the Tranche 8 performance rights are set out in the Company’s 2025 Remuneration Report (which is set out in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report).

Proposed actions

For the reasons set out in this Explanatory Statement, the Board is proposing to exercise its discretion to vary the performance condition attaching to the Tranche 8 performance rights held by participants (excluding the Tranche 8 performance rights held by the Company’s CEO, Mr Daniel Agostinelli) by:

  • resetting the base off which the performance condition is assessed to the FY25 EPS of 10.12 cents (with FY25 being, in the Board’s view, the new baseline for the Company that is reflective of the above mentioned prevailing post covid economic environment); and

Reasons for the proposed actions

Ultimately, the Company does not expect that the performance condition for the Tranche 8 performance rights will be satisfied. This would mean that, without further action, the holders of the Tranche 8 performance rights are likely to receive no value from these rights. This fact is made more concerning for the Board given the failed outcome of the Tranche 5 and Tranche 6 performance rights and the expected failed outcome of the Tranche 7 performance rights, as noted above. Accordingly, in order to ensure that staff retention is not compromised by events that were beyond the reasonable control of the Company’s employees, the Board is proposing to exercise its discretion to vary the performance condition attaching to the Tranche 8 performance rights held by participants (other than those held by the Company’s CEO, Mr Daniel Agostinelli).

Following a record year of profit for the Company in FY23, the prevailing economic environment and discretionary consumer condition in FY24 and FY25 have impacted the Company’s performance. The Board considers that performance in the FY24 and FY25 years represent a new baseline that is reflective of the above mentioned prevailing post covid economic conditions. Accordingly, the Board considers that using the Company’s FY25 performance as a base from which the performance condition for the Tranche 8 performance rights held by participants (other than those held by the Company’s CEO, Mr Daniel Agostinelli) is to be assessed (on a compounding basis) sets a realistically challenging and principle based new benchmark for those Tranche 8 performance rights.

Similarly, the Board considers that returning the sliding scale annual compounding diluted EPS growth target rates to 8%, 10% and 15% as proposed is appropriate for the Tranche 8 performance rights held by participants (other than those held by the Company’s CEO, Mr Daniel Agostinelli), given the economic backdrop, and serves as an appropriate incentive to drive performance and retention and acceptable shareholder value growth.

While the Board is conscious of aligning the performance condition of the Tranche 8 performance rights held by participants (other than those held by the Company’s CEO, Mr Daniel Agostinelli) to shareholder returns, it is also mindful that these performance rights must serve as a true incentive to drive retention for key talent employed by the Company, given that the talent pool serves as an important determinant of the Company’s performance in any year. As published in the Company’s 2025 Annual Report, the Company has delivered a commendable 10-year compounding total shareholder return of around 10% to 29 June 2025. The Board therefore considers that realistically challenging goals (as opposed to those which would likely be unattainable) should be set to enhance retention of those executives responsible for delivering outstanding returns to shareholders. In this respect, the Board believes that varying the performance condition for the Tranche 8 performance rights held by participants (other than those held by the Company’s CEO, Mr Daniel Agostinelli) as proposed serves as a powerful retention incentive.

Therefore, in recognition of the long-lasting effects of the COVID-19 pandemic impact and resultant Australian economic environment on the Company’s business operations, which was beyond the reasonable control of management, the Board intends (subject to receipt of shareholder approval) to exercise its discretion under the Plan Rules to vary the performance condition for the Tranche 8 held by participants (other than those held by the Company’s CEO, Mr Daniel Agostinelli) as set out above.

The Tranche 8 performance rights held by participants will otherwise continue to be subject to all other relevant Plan Rules.

Explanatory Statement

For the avoidance of doubt, it is noted that in respect of the Tranche 5 and Tranche 6 performance rights (which covered the assessment periods of FY21-FY24 and FY22-FY25 respectively):

  • as shareholder returns were not sufficient, the performance conditions attaching to those performance rights were not met and accordingly no Tranche 5 or Tranche 6 performance rights vested; and

  • – it is not proposed for any retrospective discretion to be applied for such Tranche 5 or Tranche 6 performance rights to become vested, and all Tranche 5 and Tranche 6 performance rights will remain lapsed and cancelled.

In addition, it has become clear to the Board that the modified performance condition for the Tranche 7 performance rights granted in 2023 (which cover the assessment period of FY24-FY26) is unlikely to be achieved, however the Board is not proposing to modify the performance condition for the Tranche 7 performance rights (with the performance condition for the Tranche 7 performance rights to remain unchanged, meaning they are unlikely to vest).

ASX waiver

Listing Rule 6.23.3 states that a change affecting options (which include performance rights) that has the effect of reducing the exercise price, increasing the period for exercise or increasing the number of securities received on exercise of that option cannot be made.

Listing Rule 6.23.4 further states that a change which is not prohibited under Listing Rule 6.23.3 can only be made if holders of ordinary securities approve the change.

The ASX has granted the Company a waiver from Listing Rule 6.23.3 to allow the Board to exercise its discretion to vary the performance condition attaching to the Tranche 8 performance rights (excluding the Tranche 8 performance rights held by the Company’s CEO, Mr Daniel Agostinelli) as described above provided that the Company obtains shareholder approval for such matters.

If the resolution in Item 4 is not passed, the Board will consider alternative remuneration arrangements which are consistent with the Company’s remuneration principles, while maintaining the competitiveness of its KMP’s and senior managers’ remuneration. This may include the payment of equivalent cash bonuses to relevant participants.

Board Recommendation

5. Grant of Performance Rights to a related party, the Company’s CEO and Executive Director, Mr Daniel Agostinelli

Background

Item 5 seeks shareholder approval to grant to Mr Daniel Agostinelli, the Company’s CEO and Executive Director, 2,119,692 performance rights under the Company’s Performance Rights Plan. A summary of the key terms of the Performance Rights Plan is set out in Schedule A.

The performance rights proposed to be granted to Mr Agostinelli entitle him to acquire up to a maximum of 2,119,962 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (“Shares”) at the end of the 3 year assessment period ending 2 July 2028.

The intent of the performance rights proposed to be granted to Mr Agostinelli under this new ‘Tranche 9’ of performance rights is consistent with the previous performance right tranches that have been issued under the Company’s LTI program, with the Board having set a long-term strategic objective of delivering shareholders a minimum 10% per annum compounding diluted EPS growth, whilst maintaining a healthy dividend payout ratio. The compounding diluted EPS percentage growth set for the Tranche 9 performance rights at target is 10%, which in substance reflects a continuation of the Company’s Performance Rights Plan’s objective to drive at least 10% per annum compounding diluted EPS growth.

In April 2025, the Company entered into a long-term strategic relationship with Frasers Group, plc to launch and operate Sports Direct stores in Australia and New Zealand. This is a significant commitment and growth initiative for the Company which will require management focus and attention over the assessment period for the Tranche 9 performance rights and beyond.

In this context, the Board has decided to add an additional performance condition relating to Sports Direct in addition to the existing EPS performance condition. In this respect, a weighting of 65% of the available performance rights’ award proposed to be granted to Mr Agostinelli will be applied to the EPS performance condition and 35% will be applied to the Sports Direct performance condition. Further details relating to the EPS performance condition and the new Sports Direct performance condition are set out below.

Specifically, if the relevant vesting conditions (as summarised below) are satisfied (or waived), the performance rights proposed to be granted to Mr Agostinelli will vest on sliding scales as follows:

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution in Item 4.

Any Shares acquired by Mr Agostinelli under this proposed Tranche 9 of the Performance Rights Plan (as proposed by Item 5) will also be subject to an escrow period and Mr Agostinelli will be restricted from dealing with the Shares until 1 September 2029 (unless the Board determines otherwise, which may include (without limitation) due to certain limitations on the Company acquiring a relevant interest in its own securities as agreed with Frasers Group, plc in the Subscription Agreement with the Company announced on 15 April 2025).

Explanatory Statement

Reasons for the new grant of performance rights

As noted above, the proposed grant of the Tranche 9 performance rights is a continuation of the series of grants of performance rights by the Board that commenced in 2017 in connection with the Company’s LTI program. Specifically, commencing in 2017, Mr Agostinelli has been granted successive tranches of performance rights, as detailed above based on the long-term strategic objective set by the Board of delivering shareholders a minimum of 10% per annum compounding diluted EPS growth, whilst maintaining a healthy dividend payout ratio.

The Board periodically evaluates the effectiveness of the Company’s LTI program and continues to consider the grant of performance rights under the Company’s LTI program to be effective in achieving the stated objectives, given that the Performance Rights Plan has been successful in driving performance since its inception in FY17.

The 2,119,692 performance rights proposed to be granted to Mr Agostinelli under Tranche 9 have an estimated fair value of $2,586,295 (as set out below). The number of performance rights has been determined based on 150% of Mr Agostinelli’s FY26 total fixed remuneration, divided by the 10 trading day volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s Shares following the release of the Company’s results for the financial year ended 29 June 2025 on Friday, 22 August 2025 (the 10 day VWAP being $1.42).

The number of Shares that Mr Agostinelli will be entitled to acquire in respect of the Tranche 9 performance rights will depend on the Company’s performance over the three-year assessment period to 2 July 2028 including as it relates to the new Sports Direct performance condition (unless otherwise waived by the Board). Should the target performance be achieved in respect of both the EPS performance condition and the Sports Direct performance condition, Mr Agostinelli’s Tranche 9 performance rights will vest and may be exercised into 1,413,128 Shares, being 100% of his FY26 total fixed remuneration (at the 10 day VWAP of $1.42).

In respect of the EPS performance condition, the Board highlights that long term annual compounding diluted EPS growth above 10% per annum is in the top quartile of historic performance for ASX200 and ASX300 companies over the last 10 years and accordingly, the Board believes that such is likely to be a strong proxy for top quartile company performance for comparable companies over the three-year period to 2 July 2028. Accordingly, the Board considers that the target compounding diluted EPS growth of 10% per annum continues to be an appropriate target for driving strong shareholder returns.

Vesting conditions

Subject to the terms of the Performance Rights Plan, the Tranche 9 performance rights proposed to be granted to Mr Agostinelli under Item 5 will be subject to the following vesting conditions (which must be satisfied, amended or waived by the Board):

  1. Performance conditions: As noted above, the performance rights will vest according to sliding scales based:

  2. a. 65% on the achievement of annual compounding diluted EPS growth over the three-year assessment period to 2 July 2028; and

  3. b. 35% on the achievement of Sports Direct related measures over the three-year assessment period to 2 July 2028,

as set out in the tables below.

The EPS performance condition will be measured on a statutory post AASB-16 basis with the reference diluted EPS for the base year being 10.12 cents per share. The required FY28 EPS for this performance condition to be satisfied is as follows (unless amended or waived by the Board):

FY25 FY28 % annual
statutory statutory compounding
diluted EPS diluted EPS diluted EPS
(cents per (cents per growth target
share) share) rate
Threshold 10.12 12.7 8%
Target 10.12 13.5 10%
Stretch 10.12 15.4 15%

It is important to note that statutory diluted EPS takes into account the Company’s statutory net profit, including the cost of the Performance Rights Plan and the dilutive impact of the performance rights that are expected to convert into Shares.

The Sports Direct performance condition will be measured based on the number of profitable Sports Direct stores opened as set out below (unless amended or waived by the Board):

Number of profitable Sports
Direct stores opened over
the three-year assessment
period to 2 July 2028
Threshold 20
Target 25
Stretch 30

A Sports Direct store is a store that qualifies as a Sports Direct store for the purpose of the obligation on the Company to open relevant Sports Direct stores as detailed in the Retail Agreement between Frasers Group plc and the Company as announced on 15 April 2025.

“Profitable” is measured as the aggregate earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) of the Sports Direct stores as determined by the Board, which will include all of the direct costs incurred in the operation of the store as determined by the Board (noting the Board may make such adjustments as it considers appropriate when assessing profitability).

Explanatory Statement

  1. Retention condition: Mr Agostinelli must be continuously employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries (the “Group”) for the period to 1 September 2028 and must not have resigned as an employee or be serving a period of notice of termination by that date (unless amended or waived by the Board).

Board discretion and power to amend any terms and conditions (including any Performance Condition and/or any exercise period) in relation to any Performance Rights

In determining whether the performance conditions attaching to the Tranche 9 performance rights have been satisfied, the Board may make such adjustments as it considers appropriate when assessing performance or otherwise. This may include, without limitation, adjustments to EPS or EBIT (as applicable) calculations to reflect changes in capital structure or other corporate actions, or the exclusion of matters that are beyond the reasonable control or foresight of management or that were taken into account when setting the performance conditions or to include matters that management should reasonably have foreseen. Such adjustments may include, for example, the impacts arising from unexpected changes in government policy, the imposition or removal of tariffs, or material acquisitions or disposals. Additionally, and subject to obtaining any required ASX waiver and/or shareholder approval, the Board may waive or amend any of the vesting conditions attaching to the Tranche 9 performance rights (e.g. the EPS performance condition, the Sports Direct performance condition and/or the retention condition) if the Board considers that the relevant vesting condition is unlikely to be met or as otherwise determined by the Board in its discretion. This discretion may extend to adjusting or reducing any thresholds applicable to the vesting condition (such as resetting the base off which any EPS performance condition is to be assessed, reducing any sliding scale annual compounding EPS growth target rates, reducing any number of Sports Direct stores required to be opened, reducing any required EBIT of the Sports Direct stores, bringing forward the date under any retention condition and/or such other amendments as determined by the Board). The Board may exercise its discretion in circumstances including (without limitation) where the Company’s performance diverges from budget or plan expectations, where broader economic or industry developments may affect the satisfaction of a vesting condition, or in respect of the retention condition, where personal circumstances of Mr Agostinelli (such as, without limitation, illness or incapacity or other circumstances determined by the Board in its discretion) or the circumstances of the Company (such as, without limitation, succession planning, leadership changes or other circumstances determined by the Board in its discretion) are relevant. Similarly, and subject to obtaining any required ASX waiver and/or shareholder approval, the

Board may decide to amend any exercise period attaching to the Tranche 9 performance rights as determined by the Board in its discretion, and such amendment may include, without limitation, increasing the exercise period. Unless otherwise specified in an offer letter, the exercise period for a Tranche 9 performance right is currently within 60 days from the date on which a participant is notified by the Company that the performance right has vested. The Board may exercise its discretion to amend any exercise period in circumstances including (without limitation) to provide Mr Agostinelli with greater flexibility or where his personal circumstances (such as, without limitation, financial, tax, illness or incapacity or other circumstances determined by the Board in its discretion) or the circumstances of the Company (such as, without limitation, corporate, tax or other circumstances determined by the Board in its discretion) are relevant.

The Performance Rights Plan also contains standard malus provisions giving the Board the ability to clawback any unfair benefits received by a participant where a performance right has vested or may vest (including during the escrow period described below) as a result of the fraud, dishonesty, gross misconduct, breach of obligations or knowing material misstatement of financial statements by the participant or by any other employee of the Group. These provisions allow the Board to (among other things) determine that a Share acquired after satisfaction of the vesting conditions will be forfeited in the circumstances set out above, in which case that Share may (among other actions) be bought back and cancelled and/or transferred to a person nominated by the Board for nil or nominal consideration.

In addition to the above vesting conditions, as noted above, all Shares issued to Mr Agostinelli on exercise of the performance rights for which approval is being sought under this Item 5 will also be subject to an escrow arrangement under which Mr Agostinelli will be restricted from dealing with the Shares until 1 September 2029. There are certain circumstances in which the Shares may be released from escrow prior to 1 September 2029 (which includes, without limitation, if the Board determines due to certain limitations on the Company acquiring a relevant interest in its own securities as agreed with Frasers Group, plc in the Subscription Agreement with the Company announced on 15 April 2025).

Accordingly, the Board believes that the vesting conditions attaching to the proposed Tranche 9 performance rights and the corresponding escrow arrangements provide a powerful incentive for Mr Agostinelli to continue to drive long term value creation for the Company’s shareholders and deliver the targeted performance outcomes set by the Board.

Accent Group Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting 2025

Explanatory Statement

The Board continues to be of the view that EPS growth is an important performance condition for the Company’s long term remuneration strategy, being a widely used and well understood indicator of company performance and a long-term driver of shareholder value creation through the link to share price and dividend growth. EPS growth represents a transparent and well understood metric for both shareholders and management that is not subject to market outcomes but rather is a direct outcome of the strategic and operational efforts of the management team over time. EPS also incorporates all the aspects of a Company’s financial performance that are within management’s control.

Given the significance of the long term strategic relationship entered into by the Company with Frasers Group, plc, the Board decided to add the additional performance condition relating to Sports Direct in addition to the existing EPS performance condition.

Shareholder approval – ASX Listing Rules

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholders to approve the proposed grant of performance rights under Item 5 to Mr Agostinelli, being a related party of the Company as the Company’s CEO and an Executive Director.

If approval is given for the grant of the performance rights under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not required for the allocation and issue of Shares on vesting and exercise of any such performance rights under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and separate approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 10.11 (which provides a general restriction against issuing securities to directors without shareholder approval).

If the resolution in Item 5 is not passed, the Board will need to consider alternative remuneration arrangements which are consistent with the Company’s remuneration principles, while maintaining the competitiveness of Mr Agostinelli’s remuneration. This might include a cash payment to Mr Agostinelli at the end of the three-year assessment period equivalent in value to the performance rights he would have received had shareholder approval been obtained.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15, the following additional information is provided to shareholders in relation to Item 5:

Explanatory Statement

Details of the A summary of the key terms of the Performance Rights Plan is contained in Schedule A and further
performance rights details of the relevant vesting conditions are set out above.
The Board has determined to grant performance rights to Mr Agostinelli because the performance
rights link the ultimate value of the benefit provided to Mr Agostinelli to the continued growth
of the Company and therefore provides an incentive for Mr Agostinelli to ensure the Company
continues to deliver superior and sustainable growth in shareholder value.
The Company has valued the performance rights using a Black-Scholes option pricing model,
based on the following assumptions:

share price of $1.4212;

risk-free rate of 3.60%;

dividend yield of 4.90%;

volatility factor of 25.00%; and

time to maturity of 3 years.

share price of $1.4212;

risk-free rate of 3.60%;

dividend yield of 4.90%;

volatility factor of 25.00%; and

time to maturity of 3 years.
As set out above, as at the date of this Notice, the Tranche 9 performance rights have an estimated
fair value of up to $2,586,295 (if both the stretch targets under the EPS performance condition and
the Sports Direct performance condition are achieved).
The date(s) on or by If Item 5 is approved by shareholders, the Board intends to grant the performance rights to

will issue the the AGM.

performance rights to the Company must either issue, allocate or transfer the number of Shares for every performance
the Director right exercised based on the sliding scales of vesting described above or pay an equivalent cash
amount in accordance with the terms of the Performance Rights Plan. The Shares will be issued for
no cash consideration and will be subject to the escrow arrangements described above.

The Company advises that no loan will be made by the Company to Mr Agostinelli in relation to the acquisition of the performance rights or any Shares resulting from the exercise of the performance rights.

Details of any performance rights issued under the Performance Rights Plan will be published in the Annual Report of the Company relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of performance rights under the Performance Rights Plan after the resolution in Item 5 is approved and who were not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Corporations Act - Acceleration of vesting

Part 2D.2, Division 2 of the Corporations Act provides that a listed company must not permit a person in a managerial or executive office (including a director) to receive a benefit in connection with their retirement or removal from office or employment (“Termination Benefit”), except with respect to certain statutory exceptions, over the applicable ‘base salary amount’ without shareholder approval.

Under the Performance Rights Plan, where a participant ceases to be an employee or a director of an entity of the Group for any reason, all unvested Performance Rights held by that participant will lapse. However, in such circumstances, the Board has the discretion to otherwise determine how performance rights are to be treated. For example, where the reason for that participant ceasing employment is because of death, total and permanent disability, retirement or redundancy (as determined by the Board) or any other reason with the approval of the Board, the Board may determine that some or all of the performance rights held by that participant do not lapse. In addition, in the event of a “Change of Control Event” (which includes a takeover, scheme of arrangement or winding-up of the Company), in respect of a participant’s unvested performance rights, the Board may (but is not required to) determine that all or a specified number (if any) of the participant’s unvested performance rights automatically and immediately vest.

The Board has formed the view that should the Board determine that the performance rights of Mr Agostinelli do not automatically lapse on cessation of employment, the value of the performance rights provided to him may be considered a Termination Benefit. Similarly, in the event that the performance rights granted to Mr Agostinelli vest on a “Change

Explanatory Statement

of Control Event”, the value of the performance rights provided may be considered a Termination Benefit (particularly if he is no longer employed by the Company after the relevant “Change of Control Event”). Accordingly, shareholder approval is being sought for any such benefit which Mr Agostinelli may receive under the Performance Rights Plan.

If Shareholders approve the resolution in Item 5, the maximum number of performance rights that may vest upon the retirement or removal from office of Mr Agostinelli under the Performance Rights Plan will be the number of performance rights granted to him under Item 5 as detailed above (plus the number of performance rights previously granted to him). However, the actual number of performance rights that may vest upon retirement or removal from office will depend on a range of factors. Accordingly, the precise value of the affected performance rights cannot be ascertained at this time. Matters, events and circumstances that will, or are likely to, affect the calculation of that value include the following:

  • the number of unvested performance rights held by Mr Agostinelli prior to the cessation of his engagement/employment;

  • the extent to which the relevant performance conditions attaching to the performance rights before they vest and are exercisable are met at the time Mr Agostinelli’s engagement/employment ends;

  • – the period that has elapsed at that time since the effective grant of the performance rights;

  • the reasons for cessation of Mr Agostinelli’s engagement/employment;

  • the number of performance rights that vest and the Company’s share price at the date of vesting (noting the Company will calculate the value of the performance rights on the basis of the prevailing Share price of the Company at the time).

Board Recommendation

The Directors (with Mr Agostinelli abstaining) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the resolution in Item 5.

6. Approval of Performance Rights Plan and Approval of Potential Termination Benefits

(a) Approval of Performance Rights Plan

Background and reason for the Resolution

Shareholders previously approved the issue of securities under the Performance Rights Plan at the Company’s 2022 AGM for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b). As a result of this approval, securities issued under the Performance Rights Plan during the 3 years following the 2022 AGM were (and continue to be) treated as having been made with the approval of shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and

were (and continue to be) excluded from the 15% limit for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 restricts the number of equity securities which a listed entity can issue in any 12-month period, without the approval of its shareholders, to 15% of the number of securities on issue at the start of the period. ASX Listing Rule 7.2 allows certain issues of securities to be excluded from the 15% limit, including under Exception 13(b), where an issue is made under an employee incentive scheme, if within 3 years before the date of issue, the terms of the scheme were approved by shareholders.

The 2022 AGM shareholder approval is only valid for 3 years and, accordingly, resolution (a) in this Item 6 seeks shareholder approval again for the issue of securities under the Performance Rights Plan for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b). If this resolution is approved by shareholders, securities issued under the Performance Rights Plan over the next 3 years from the date of the Meeting will be treated as having been made with the approval of Shareholders for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1 and will be excluded from the 15% limit. This will enable the Company to issue further securities up to the 15% limit in each 12-month period during the next 3 years without shareholder approval, provided that the number of securities issued under the Performance Rights Plan does not exceed the maximum aggregate number of securities set out below.

ASX Information

A summary of the key terms of the Performance Rights Plan is set out in Schedule A to this Notice.

10,464,404 performance rights have been issued under the Performance Rights Plan since it was last approved by shareholders in 2022.

The maximum aggregate number of securities proposed to be issued under the Performance Rights Plan in the 3-year period following shareholder approval under resolution (a) in this Item 6 (if approved) is 18,000,000. This number is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of securities that may be issued under the Performance Rights Plan, rather it is intended to be a ceiling on the number of securities approved to be issued under the Performance Rights Plan for the purposes of Exception 13(b) of Listing Rule 7.2. If the maximum number is reached, any additional issues of securities under the Performance Rights Plan will not have the benefit of Exception 13(b) and will be included for the purposes of calculating the capacity of the Company to issue securities under the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1, unless a further shareholder approval is obtained or another exception in Listing Rule 7.2 applies (including, without limitation, the Company acquires the relevant shares on-market to satisfy the allocation of securities under the Performance Rights Plan).

Explanatory Statement

Board discretion and power to amend any terms and conditions (including any Performance Condition and/or exercise period) in relation to any Performance Rights

It is noted that in determining whether any performance conditions attaching to any performance rights issued under the Performance Rights Plan have been satisfied, the Board may make such adjustments as it considers appropriate when assessing performance or otherwise. This may include, without limitation, adjustments to any EPS, EBIT or other calculations to reflect changes in capital structure or other corporate actions, or the exclusion of matters that are beyond the reasonable control or foresight of management or that were taken into account when setting the performance conditions or to include matters that management should reasonably have foreseen. Such adjustments may include, for example, the impacts arising from unexpected changes in government policy, the imposition or removal of tariffs, or material acquisitions or disposals. Additionally, and subject to obtaining any required ASX waiver and/or shareholder approval, the Board may waive or amend any of the vesting conditions attaching to any performance rights issued under the Performance Rights Plan (including, for example, any EPS performance condition, Sports Direct performance condition and/or any retention condition) if the Board considers that the relevant vesting condition is unlikely to be met or as otherwise determined by the Board in its discretion. This discretion may extend to adjusting or reducing any thresholds applicable to the vesting condition (such as resetting the base off which any EPS performance condition is to be assessed, reducing any sliding scale annual compounding EPS growth target rates, reducing any number of Sports Direct stores required to be opened, reducing any required EBIT of the Sports Direct stores, bringing forward the date under any retention condition and/or such other amendments as determined by the Board). The Board may exercise its discretion in circumstances including (without limitation) where the Company’s performance diverges from budget or plan expectations, where broader economic or industry developments may affect the satisfaction of a vesting condition, or in respect of any retention condition, where personal circumstances of the participant (such as, without limitation, illness or incapacity or other circumstances determined by the Board in its discretion) or the circumstances of the Company (such as, without limitation, succession planning, leadership changes or other circumstances determined by the Board in its discretion) are relevant. Similarly, and subject to obtaining any required ASX waiver and/or shareholder approval, the Board may decide to amend any exercise period attaching to any performance rights as determined by the Board in its discretion, and such amendment may include, without limitation, increasing the exercise period. Unless otherwise specified in an offer letter, the exercise period for a performance right is currently within 60 days from the date on which a participant is notified by the Company that the performance right has vested. The Board may exercise its discretion to amend any exercise period in

circumstances including (without limitation) to provide participants with greater flexibility or where their personal circumstances (such as, without limitation, financial, tax, illness or incapacity or other circumstances determined by the Board in its discretion) or the circumstances of the Company (such as, without limitation, corporate, tax or other circumstances determined by the Board in its discretion) are relevant.

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

If resolution (a) of Item 6 is not passed, the Company will still be entitled to issue securities under the Performance Rights Plan, but those securities would be included for the purposes of calculating the capacity of the Company to issue securities under the 15% limit imposed by Listing Rule 7.1, unless a further shareholder approval is obtained or another exception in Listing Rule 7.2 applies (including, without limitation, the Company acquires the relevant shares on-market to satisfy the allocation of securities under the Performance Rights Plan).

(b) Approval of potential termination benefits under the Performance Rights Plan

Background and reason for the Resolution

The Company is also seeking approval to give certain Termination Benefits in connection with a person ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the Company or a related body corporate for the purposes of sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act and for all other purposes.

A summary of Part 2D.2 in Division 2 of the Corporations Act is set out above in respect of Item 5.

As also set out above in respect of Item 5, under the terms and conditions of the Performance Rights Plan, certain Termination Benefits may be given to participants under the Performance Rights Plan. The Board has formed the view that should the Board determine that the performance rights of a participant do not automatically lapse on cessation of their employment/engagement, the value of the performance rights provided to them may be considered a Termination Benefit. Similarly, in the event that the performance rights granted to a participant vest on a “Change of Control Event” (as described in above in respect of Item 5), the value of the performance rights provided may be considered a Termination Benefit (particularly if they are no longer employed/engaged by the Company after the relevant “Change of Control Event”). Accordingly, resolution (b) in this Item 6 seeks shareholder approval for Termination Benefits (if any) that may be given to current or future participants in the Performance Rights Plan (including as a result of the exercise of Board discretion).

Accent Group Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting 2025

17

Explanatory Statement

The value of the potential Termination Benefits that may be given to an eligible participant in connection with ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office cannot be clearly ascertained in advance. This is because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the precise value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as the Company’s prevailing share price at the time of vesting and the number of performance rights that will vest ‘early’ or otherwise be affected (which could be up to all of the performance rights held by the participant). The following additional factors may also affect the benefit’s value:

  • the number of unvested performance rights held by the participant prior to the cessation of their engagement/ employment;

  • the extent to which the relevant performance conditions attaching to the performance rights before they vest and are exercisable are met at the time the participant’s engagement/employment ends;

  • the period that has elapsed at that time since the effective grant of the performance rights;

  • the reasons for cessation of the participant’s engagement/employment; and

  • the number of performance rights that vest and the Company’s share price at the date of vesting (noting the Company will calculate the value of the performance rights on the basis of the prevailing Share price of the Company at the time).

A voting exclusion statement is included in the Notice.

Board Recommendation

The Directors (other than Mr Agostinelli) unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of resolutions (a) and (b) in Item 6.

Schedule A - Summary of key terms of the Performance Rights Plan

Objects The objects of the Performance Rights Plan are to:

Share”); or

and other material
consequences

b. if a participant ceases to be, or resigns from their position as, an employee or director
of an entity of the Group for any reason or they cease to satisfy any other relevant
conditions imposed by the Board at the time of the grant of the Performance Rights;
  • c. failure to meet the Performance Conditions attaching to the Performance Right or any Performance Conditions no longer, in the opinion of the Board, being capable of being satisfied in accordance with their terms; and

Explanatory Statement

Unfair Performance Under the Performance Rights Plan, the Board has certain rights to clawback any unfair
Right benefits benefits received by a participant where a Performance Right has vested (or may vest) or a
(clawback) Performance Share has been issued as a result of the fraud, dishonesty, gross misconduct,
breach of obligations or knowing material misstatement of financial statements by the
participant or by any other employee of the Group. Such rights include the right to
determine that the Performance Right has not vested (or will not vest) and/or to determine
any treatment in relation to the Performance Right (including resetting Conditions and/
or new Performance Rights to be granted) and/or any benefit obtained by the participant
from the exercise of the Performance Right (including the Board may, in its discretion,
do any one or more of the acts set out in the above paragraph ‘Lapsing of Performance
Rights (including malus) and other material consequences’).
Trading of Performance Each Performance Right cannot be traded other than with the prior written consent of
Rights the Board or by force of law upon death of the holder of the Performance Right (and then
only to the holder’s legal personal representative) or if the holder of the Performance Right
becomes bankrupt (and then only to the holder’s trustee in bankruptcy). Any attempt to trade
the Performance Right by the participant other than the reasons described will result in the
immediate lapsing of the Performance Right (unless the Board determines otherwise).
Exercise of The exercise of a Performance Right is conditional upon the Performance Right having
Performance Rights vested. If a Performance Right has vested, the holder of the Performance Right is entitled,
in accordance with the exercise procedure set out in the Performance Rights Plan, to
require the Company to either (at the absolute discretion of the Board):
a. issue, allocate, or procure the transfer to, the participant (or their personal
representative) (or to the plan trustee to be held on behalf of the relevant participant)
the number of Shares to which they are entitled from the exercise of the Performance
Right; or
b. pay them a cash payment equal to the number of Performance Shares to which they are
entitled from the exercise of the Performance Right multiplied by the volume weighted
average price of the Company’s Shares on the ASX at close of trading of the ASX over
the 10 trading days up to and including the date the Performance Right vested less any
amount payable upon exercise of that Performance Right.
Notwithstanding any other rule of the Performance Rights Plan, if the participant is a
director of the Company (or an associate of a director for the purposes of the Listing Rules),
Performance Rights which are validly exercised may be satisfied by Shares that have been
purchased on-market by or on behalf of the director or their associate.
Unless otherwise specified in an offer letter, any vested Performance Rights must be
exercised within 60 days from the date on which the Participant is notified that the
Performance Rights have vested.
Capital Reorganisation If Shares are issued pro rata to the shareholders generally by way of bonus issue (other than
an issue in lieu of dividends or by way of dividend reinvestment) involving capitalisation of
reserves or distributable profit or any reorganisation (including consolidation, subdivision,
reduction or return) of the issued capital of the Company is effected, the number
of Performance Rights to which each participant is entitled, Shares over which each
Performance Right is exercisable, and/or (as appropriate) any amount payable on exercise
of the Performance Rights, will be adjusted in the manner determined by the Board to
ensure that no advantage or disadvantage accrues to the participant as a result of such
corporate actions (subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules at the time of such
corporate action).
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Performance Rights Plan, the rights of each
person who holds a Performance Right will be changed to the extent necessary to
comply with the ASX Listing Rules applying to a reorganisation of capital at the time of the
reorganisation.
