Both Mark and Michael are Executive Directors of the Company and shareholder approval is being sought on that basis for ASX Listing Rule 10.14 purposes.
Subject to shareholder approval, the options pursuant to items 4 and 5 will be granted under the Adairs Limited Equity Incentive Plan (the Plan ) within 12 months of the Meeting.
2018 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 5
EXPLANATORY NOTES
Key terms of the FY2019 LTI grant
The LTI grant is designed to align the interests of the Eligible Participants with the interests of shareholders by providing the opportunity to receive an equity interest in the Company through the granting of options.
Mr Ronan will be granted 540,000 options and Mr Cherubino will be granted 315,000 options. The number of each Eligible Participant’s options has been determined by dividing their LTI opportunity by the fair value of options.
As the options form part of the Eligible Participants’ remuneration, they will be issued for nil consideration. The exercise price per option payable by an Eligible Participant if the options vest and become exercisable is $2.40 per option.
Each option entitles an Eligible Participant to acquire one ordinary share in the Company on payment of the exercise price. Options will only vest and become exercisable if vesting conditions are satisfied. The Board has discretion to make a cash payment in lieu of an allocation of shares on vesting and exercise of options.
Prior to vesting, the options do not entitle Eligible Participants to dividends or voting rights.
Performance Period
The performance period is from 2 July 2018 to 3 July 2022.
Vesting conditions
1. Service condition
Unless the Board determines otherwise, for any options to vest and become exercisable, the Eligible Participant must remain employed on a full time basis by the Group at 3 July 2022 and have not given notice of their resignation. The service condition will be tested on 3 July 2022.
2. Performance conditions
Each proposed grant of options will be subject to two separate performance conditions as follows:
-
60% of the options will be subject to an earnings per share ( EPS ) performance condition; and
-
40% of the options will be subject to a like-for-like sales growth performance condition.
EPS performance condition
The EPS performance condition will be measured by reference to the compound annual growth rate ( CAGR ) of the Company’s EPS over a period of 3 financial years, commencing on 2 July 2018 and ending on 27 June 2021.
EPS measures the earnings generated by the Company attributable to each share on issue on a fully diluted basis. Calculation of the CAGR of the EPS and achievement against the performance condition will be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion.
Like for like sales performance condition
The sales performance condition will be measured by reference to the Company’s like-for-like sales growth over FY2019, FY2020 and FY2021. Like-for-like sales growth measures growth in sales in one year compared to the previous year, taking into consideration only like-for-like sales.
Calculation of the achievement against the sales growth performance condition will be determined by the Board in its absolute discretion.
These hurdles and vesting schedules are set out below:
| EPS CAGR Performance |
Like for like Sales Performance |
Proportion of options that will vest against |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| (60% Weighting) | (40% Weighting) | relevant target | |
| Less than or equal to 5% p.a. |
Less than or equal to 2.5% |
Nil | |
| Between 5% and | Between 2.5% and | Straight line vesting | |
| 15% p.a. | 7.5% | between 0% and 100% |
|
| Equal to, or above, 15% p.a |
Equal to, or above, 7.5% |
100% |
Testing of the vesting conditions
Testing of the vesting conditions will occur at the end of the performance period. Any options that do not vest will lapse immediately. Any options that vest will be exercisable until 6 years after the date of grant.
Cessation of employment
Where the employment of an Eligible Participant is terminated for cause or they resign, all unvested options and vested but unexercised options will lapse, unless otherwise determined by the Board.
In all other circumstances, a pro rata portion of the unvested options (based on the portion of the performance period that has elapsed) will remain on foot and be subject to the original vesting conditions, as though the Eligible Participant had not ceased employment. Vested but unexercised options will remain on foot and exercisable for a period of 3 months, after which time they will lapse, unless otherwise determined by the Board.
Change of control
In the event of a likely change in control of the Company, the Board has a discretion to determine that some or all of the Eligible Participant’s options will vest.
If a change of control occurs before the Board exercises its discretion, a pro-rata portion of the options (equal to the portion of the relevant performance period that has elapsed up to the change of control) will vest and be exercisable for a period of 3 months after the change of control.
ADAIRS LIMITED
6
Clawback
The Board has broad “clawback” powers to determine that options lapse or shares allocated on exercise of the vested options are forfeited, or that amounts are to be repaid in certain circumstances (for example, in the case of serious misconduct).
Restrictions on dealing
An Eligible Participant must not sell, transfer, encumber, hedge or otherwise deal with options.
An Eligible Participant will be free to deal with the shares allocated on exercise of the options, subject to the requirements of the Company’s Securities Dealing Policy.
Additional information provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15
-
Since the last shareholder approval at the 2017 Annual General Meeting, 900,000 LTI options were issued (at no cost) to Mark Ronan and 510,000 LTI options were issued (at no cost) to Michael Cherubino under the FY18 LTI grant. No other options have been issued to the Company’s Directors under the Equity Incentive Plan.
-
Mark Ronan and Michael Cherubino are the only Directors entitled to receive options under the Plan.
-
No loan will be made by the Company in relation to the acquisition of options.
-
If approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval will not be required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This means that the options granted to Mark Ronan and Michael Cherubino and any shares issued pursuant to this approval will not use up part of the 15% available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Item 6 – Approval of Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration
That in accordance with Listing Rule 10.17 and Clause 8.3(a) of the Company’s constitution, the maximum aggregate remuneration payable out of the funds of the Company to non-executive directors of the Company for their services as Directors, including their service on a committee of Directors, be increased by $150,000 from $450,000 to a maximum $600,000 per annum, to be split between the non-executive directors as they determine.
The proposed increase will allow flexibility for market increases in the future and the capacity to appoint other non-executive directors as required. It also allows for better succession planning by facilitating the appointment of a new non-executive director before the retirement of an existing non-executive director.
Details of the amount of remuneration paid to non-executive directors is disclosed on page 28 of the Company’s 2018 Annual Report.
Recommendation
The Board recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the increase of the director’s pool for the following reasons:
-
To ensure the Non-executive Director Fee Pool can accommodate additional non-executive directors being appointed to the Board.
-
To enable the Company to maintain remuneration arrangements that are market competitive, so it can attract and retain high calibre individuals as non-executive directors.
Recommendation
The Board (with Mark Ronan and Michael Cherubino abstaining) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of the grant of options to Mark Ronan and Michael Cherubino.
