Twenty five percent (25%) of the Performance Rights are subject to an underlying earnings per Share ( EPS ) measurement, twenty five percent (25%) of the Performance Rights are subject to an underlying EBITDA margin measurement, twenty five percent (25%) of the Performance Rights are subject to a Total Shareholder Return ( TSR ) measurement, and twenty five percent (25%) of the Performance Rights are subject to a Return on Capital Employed ( ROCE ) measurement.

Key details are set out below:

Grant value As the Managing Director and CEO, Mr Deane is entitled to participate in the 2025 LTI Plan
and to receive up to 150% of TFR (or 150% of USD$1,000,000) in value of Performance Rights
under the Company's LTI Plans. Each Performance Right is a right to one fully paid ordinary
share in the Company, subject to achievement of the performance hurdles, measured over
a three-year performance period.
Number of Performance
Rights
The number of Performance Rights proposed to be granted to Malcolm Deane has been
determined based on the VWAP of Shares calculated over the 10 trading days following the
date of announcement of the final full year audited results on 27 May 2025, being
AUD$16.3185. The USD currency amount was converted to AUD during the allocation
process. The exchange rate used was the mid-market rate as at 31 March 2025, being
USD$0.6258 / AUD$1.00.
Vesting conditions The Performance Rights will vest on 1 July 2028, dependent on the Company meeting or

April 2025 to 31 March 2028. The 2025 LTI Plan rules further provide that the Board has an
overriding discretion to adjust 2025 LTI Plan vesting outcomes.
Performance Hurdles The performance hurdles and vesting proportions for each measure that will apply to the
proposed grant of Performance Rights are as follows:
Underlying EPS Growth (25%)
One quarter of the Performance Rights will be subject to an EPS Growth Hurdle, calculated
as follows. Underlying EPS growth is calculated by comparing the diluted underlying EPS
from continuing operations achieved by the Group in the base year (e.g. year to March 2025)
with that achieved in the final year of the performance period (e.g. year to March 2028).
Diluted underlying EPS is calculated by dividing the underlying net profit after tax
attributable to shareholders of ALS Limited by the weighted average number of ordinary
shares on issue for the year being measured (diluted for outstanding equity-settled
performance rights).
Vesting will occur based on the below:
Compound annual diluted

Performance Rights that
may be exercised if

Company against a group of comparator peer companies, which include Bureau Veritas
(France), Eurofins (France and Germany), Intertek (UK), Marlowe plc (UK), SGS (Switzerland),
UL Solutions, and Montrose Environmental Group, Inc. (USA).

ROCE is calculated as underlying earnings before interest and tax over the three-year performance period divided by Capital Employed, expressed as a percentage.

Other required information (per ASX Listing Rule 10.15)

  • Shareholder approval is sought for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14 to give ALS the flexibility to issue shares to satisfy Performance Rights that vest and for transparency and governance reasons.

  • If shareholder approval is not obtained, the Company will not be able to proceed with the proposed grant of Performance Rights and it is intended that all of Malcolm Deane’s award will be provided in cash.

  • No loans will be granted to Malcolm Deane in relation to his participation in the 2025 LTI Plan.

  • Performance Rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights prior to vesting.

  • ALS uses Performance Rights to provide executives with an incentive to satisfy performance hurdles over a threeyear performance period which are measured across multiple factors important to shareholder value, and provide a counter balance for any tendency to focus on short-term outcomes. By virtue of the above, the Board considers that Malcolm Deane’s participation in the 2025 LTI Plan is a critical mechanism by which to incentivise performance in line with shareholder interests.

  • Malcolm Deane is the only Director eligible to be granted Performance Rights under the 2025 LTI Plan. No other person who requires shareholder approval to participate in the 2025 LTI Plan under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 has been or will be granted Performance Rights until such shareholder approval is obtained.

  • Malcolm Deane has previously been issued (as applicable) [444,296] under previous long-term incentive plans of the Company. Such grants were made to Malcolm Deane at no cost to him.

  • Malcolm Deane's current total remuneration package for the year ending 31 March 2026 comprises the following:

  • TFR of USD$1,000,000 (inclusive of company retirement plan contributions);

  • a short-term incentive cash component at target of up to 100% of TFR, being USD$ 1,000,000;

  • a long-term equity incentive component at target of up to 150% of TFR, being USD$ 1,500,000;

  • Housing, private healthcare, travel, vehicle and schooling allowance of up to USD$ 150,000 to support relocation of operational head office to Europe; and

  • A one off relocation allowance to cover visa and immigration fees, medical assessment, travel expenses, household moving costs and associated personal expenditure.

  • Details of any securities issued under the 2025 LTI Plan (including Performance Rights and Shares issued upon their vesting) will be published in the relevant annual report of the Company relating to the period in which they have been issued, together with a statement that shareholder 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 securities under the 2025 LTI Plan after resolution 4 is approved and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until shareholder approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

A voting restriction applies to this Item of business and is set out on page 10.

Recommendation

The Directors (other than Malcolm Deane) recommend you vote in favour of the proposed grant of Performance Rights to Malcolm Deane.

Item 5 - Renewal of Proportional Takeover Approval Provisions (resolution 5)

Clause 25 of the Company's Constitution currently contains provisions which deal with proportional takeover bids for shares in the Company.

A proportional takeover bid is an off-market takeover offer to buy only a specified proportion of each shareholder's shares in the bid class. The provisions in clause 25 are designed to assist shareholders to receive proper value for their shares if a proportional takeover bid is made for the Company by prohibiting registration of transfers of shares acquired under the proportional takeover bid unless shareholders pass a resolution approving the bid or a resolution is taken to have been passed.

Under section 648G of the Corporations Act (and clause 25 of the Constitution), the proportional takeover provisions must be renewed every 3 years or they will cease to have effect. The provisions were last renewed by shareholders at the 23 August 2022 Annual General Meeting and therefore will cease to apply on 23 August 2025 unless renewed at the Meeting. The Board considers that it is in the best interests of the Company's shareholders to include the proportional takeover provisions in the Constitution and shareholders are therefore asked to consider a resolution to renew the provisions in the Constitution. If renewed, the provisions will be in identical terms to the existing clause 25 and the related definitions in clause 1.1 of the Constitution.

A copy of the Company's Constitution Is available on the Company's website at www.alsglobal.com under the Corporate Governance Section.

alsglobal.com

==> picture [61 x 77] intentionally omitted <==

Effect of renewing proportional takeover provisions

The effect of renewing the provisions will be:

  • if a proportional takeover offer is received, the Directors are required to convene a meeting of shareholders to vote on a resolution to approve the offer. That meeting must be held at least 15 days before the offer closes;

  • a simple majority of shares voted at the meeting (i.e. at least 50% of the votes cast, excluding the shares of the offeror and its associates) is required for the resolution to be passed;

  • if no resolution is voted on at least 15 days before the close of the offer, such a resolution is deemed to have been approved (note: the Directors breach the Corporations Act if they fail to ensure the approving resolution is voted on);

  • if the resolution is rejected, the registration of any transfer of shares resulting from the proportional takeover offer will be prohibited and, under the Corporations Act, the offer will be ineffective; and

  • if the resolution is approved, the relevant transfers of shares will be registered provided they comply with the other provisions of the Constitution.

The proportional takeover approval provisions do not apply to full takeover offers and, if renewed, will expire after 3 years, unless renewed by shareholders by special resolution.

Reasons for renewing the provisions

The Board considers that shareholders should have the opportunity to vote on a proposed proportional takeover bid.

A proportional takeover bid for the Company may enable control of the Company to be acquired by a party holding less than a majority position and without shareholders having the opportunity to dispose of all of their shares, so that shareholders could be at risk of being left as part of a minority interest in the Company.

This could place shareholders under pressure to accept the bid. If the Constitution includes these proportional takeover provisions, it will minimise this risk to shareholders by permitting shareholders in general meeting to decide whether a proportional takeover bid should be permitted to proceed.

Present acquisition proposals

As at the date of this Notice, no Director is aware of a proposal by any person to acquire, or increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

Review of the advantages and disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions during the period it was in effect previously

The potential advantages and disadvantages of the proportional takeover provisions for the Directors and shareholders are set out below. There has not been any proportional takeover bid during the period that the provisions have been in effect.

Potential advantages and disadvantages for the Directors and shareholders of the Company associated with proportional takeover provisions

Advantages Disadvantages

Enables the Board to formally ascertain the views of
shareholders in respect of a proportional takeover
offer.

Ensures that all shareholders will have an
opportunity to study a proportional takeover offer
and then attend or be represented by proxy at a
meeting of shareholders called specially to vote on
the offer.

Enables shareholders to prevent a proportional
takeover bid from proceeding if they believe that
control of the Company should not be permitted to
pass under the bid.

Likely to encourage any proportional bid to be
structured so as to be attractive to a majority of
shareholders.

May discourage proportional takeover bids for the
Company.

May as a result reduce any ‘takeover speculation’
element in the Company’s share price or deny
shareholders the opportunity of selling some of their
shares at a premium.

May restrict the ability of individual shareholders to
deal freely with their shares in some circumstances.

Recommendation

The Board considers that it is in the interests of shareholders to have a continuing right to vote on any proportional takeover and recommends you vote in favour of renewing the proportional takeover provisions in the Constitution at the Meeting.

Schedule

Summary of 2025 LTI Plan

Under the 2025 LTI Plan, the Board, at its discretion, may offer employees, including executive directors, Performance Rights or in jurisdictions where the securities or other legislation makes the issue of Shares difficult, cash payments to an equivalent value ( Phantom Rights ).

The Performance Rights will be granted, and Shares allocated (or in the case of Phantom Rights, cash payments made) at no cost to the employees, if the Performance Rights vest. The 2025 LTI Plan is designed as a three-year rolling plan with participation being determined on an annual basis to ensure the 2025 LTI Plan is targeted at the appropriate employees.

The 2025 LTI Plan is aligned to shareholder interests as Performance Rights only vest if certain EPS, EBITDA margin, TSR and ROCE targets are achieved.

Participation

The price used to determine an individual’s allocation of Performance Rights will be the weighted average price of Shares during the 10 trading days following the date of announcement of the final full year results (i.e. end of May) for the financial year preceding the period to which the grant of Performance Rights relate (although an alternative calculation measure may be undertaken if unusual circumstances arise to deem this calculation inappropriate) .

Subject to any applicable ‘good leaver’ provisions in the 2025 LTI Plan rules, the employee must be employed in the ALS group on the vesting date to be eligible for allocation of the Shares (subject to EPS, EBITDA margin, TSR and ROCE performance criteria being met).

Employees will not be allowed to enter into any hedging arrangements in relation to any unvested Performance Rights.

Executive KMPs are subject to a mandatory minimum shareholding requirement which they have five years to accumulate and are required to maintain during active employment.

Treatment of Performance Rights on cessation of employment

The 2025 LTI Plan rules provide that all unvested Performance Rights will lapse in the event of an employee’s resignation or termination for cause. In all other circumstances and at the discretion of the Board, a number of Performance Rights, calculated in accordance with the proportion of the 2025 LTI Plan performance period worked, will remain on foot, and will vest at the end of the performance period, subject to satisfaction of the original performance conditions and any applicable holding lock. The remaining unvested Performance Rights will lapse on the employment cessation date.

Change of control

Upon a change of control event, such as a company takeover, the Performance Rights vest as follows: if within the first three months of the performance period - zero of the Performance Rights vest; from six months onwards – 100% of the Performance Rights vest.

No hedging

Participants are not allowed to enter into any hedging arrangements in relation to any unvested Performance Rights.

Malus and Clawback Provision

The LTI Plan includes provisions for Malus and Clawback, allowing the company to reduce remuneration or recover payments and benefits in specific circumstances, such as fraud, dishonesty, misconduct, breach of obligations, or errors in awards calculation. The application of Clawback is at the Board's discretion .
