By integrating sustainable practices into every aspect of our operations, we are ensuring our products contribute to a more sustainable future and we are focused on developing solutions that have a lower carbon footprint and support a circular economy for packaging. Currently, almost all of our Rigid Packaging and cartons portfolios are recyclable, compostable or reusable, and in Flexible Packaging, approximately 90% of our portfolio is recyclable or has a recycle-ready alternative. We also continue to increase the use of recycled material in our packaging solutions and we are confident in achieving our goal of 30% recycled content usage across our product portfolio by 2030. Amcor demonstrated significant resilience though a challenging 2023 calendar year and made substantial Progress through fiscal 2024, delivering a year of strong margin expansion with earnings momentum building through the year. Our disciplined focus on managing costs resulted in annualized cost savings of more than $440 million, helping mitigate the impact of inflation and variable customer and consumer demand. We are encouraged by a return to volume growth in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024 after a period of soft customer demand. To help ensure we maintain momentum and position Amcor for sustained success, we continue to strategically invest in our business, both organically and through acquisitions. In fiscal 2024 this included investments in the rapidly growing India market and installation of new, state-of-the art equipment to serve the fast-growing, high-value dairy category in North America, both of which position us to capture new opportunities for sustainable growth. Our journey this year reflects a resolute dedication to and focus on our People , our Purpose , and our Progress . We have faced challenges head-on, made significant efficiency and productivity improvements, returned $750 million of cash to our shareholders, invested in growth, and maintained our industry leading focus on innovation and sustainability. We are confident that our ongoing efforts will drive future success and deliver continued value to our shareholders. Thank you for your continued trust and support in Amcor.

Executive Compensation Highlights

Our executive compensation framework plays a key role in aligning compensation to business strategy and outcomes that

deliver value to shareholders. The key highlights for fiscal year 2024 are as follows:

• A reduction in safety recordable cases by 12%, with more than 70% of sites being injury free for more than 12 months; net

sales of $13,640 million; GAAP net income of $730 million; adjusted earnings per share (“EPS”) (1) of 70.2 cps; adjusted

earnings before interest and taxes (“EBIT”) (1) of $1,560 million; and adjusted free cash flow (1) of $952 million (up >$100

million or 12% on last year).

• The above results are appropriately reflected incentive outcomes for fiscal year 2024 , reinforcing that our variable

compensation programs (which are 100% performance-based and at risk) have a strong alignment to our strategic

priorities and the interests of shareholders.

WHAT WE DO
Variable incentives are 100% performance-based and 100% at-risk. This means performance conditions apply to short term incentives and all equity-based incentives (restricted share units, performance shares, and share options)
To ensure alignment with shareholders, Amcor’s Shareholder Value Creation Model (described further in the “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section) is the basis for the performance conditions used for incentives
For the LTI to vest in full, it requires adjusted EPS to grow by 10% per annum, Return on Average Funds Employed (“RoAFE”) (1) to be 12% or more, and upper quartile relative total shareholder return performance
Stock ownership requirements for Executive Officers and Directors
Clawback policy applicable to cash and equity awards in event of fraud, dishonesty, breach of obligations and certain restatements
Actively engage with our shareholders
WHAT WE DON’T DO
No multi-year employment agreements or excessive executive severance
No repricing of options without shareholder approval
No excise tax reimbursement for payments made in connection with a change in control
No hedging or pledging of equity awards
No payment of dividends on unearned performance- based awards or restricted stock units
No evergreen provision in our 2019 Omnibus Management Share Plan
No automatic or guaranteed annual base salary increases
No enhanced severance provisions in connection with a change in control or single trigger equity acceleration for executive officers

(1) Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted EPS, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and RoAFE are non-GAAP financial measures defined by the Company as set

forth in the “Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial Measures” section of this proxy statement.

Sustainability

Sustainability at Amcor

We are excited about the progress we made in fiscal year 2024 to accelerate momentum around responsible packaging and

keeping Amcor’s products in the economy and out of the environment at the end of their use. This progress has been achieved

through innovation for packaging design, collaboration for waste management infrastructure and education for greater

consumer participation. At the same time, we continued driving progress in sustainability in other areas within Amcor’s

operations and across our value chain.

Our expertise in developing more responsible packaging across a range of materials, combined with our ambitious

sustainability goals and global presence, makes us the partner of choice for market-leading brands and is a key opportunity

that fuels our continued growth.

The following are some highlights of our fiscal year 2024 achievements:

• We received recognition for our leadership as we expanded our more sustainable packaging platforms to new applications

and markets. For example, Amcor was the proud recipient of eight Flexible Packaging Achievement Awards for innovative

and sustainability contributions to the industry, including a Gold Award for Sustainability for McCoy™ Dunnage Free IBC

Liners for bulk aseptic products and Silver Awards for Sustainability for our Tyson Foods Foam Tray Replacement and

HealthCare™ AmSky™ Blister System. In another example, our groundbreaking packaging solution AmPrima™, which is

designed to be recycled in existing recycling streams with no compromise on performance, helped Amcor Flexibles win

the Manufacturing and Consumer Goods category of the Australian Financial Review Sustainability Leaders List for 2024.

• We collaborated with consumer brands to bring innovative new solutions to market, such as Amcor’s partnership with an

iconic chocolate brand to transition to 50% food-grade recycled packaging in Australia. We partnered with a cosmetics,

skin care and personal care pioneer in China to launch AmPrima™ Plus refill pouches for its line of shower gels – the first

refill pouch with recycle-ready material. In North America, we launched our curbside-recyclable AmFiber™ Performance

Paper packaging, part of our AmFiber™ portfolio. Amcor Rigid Packaging launched the first-ever one-liter carbonated soft

drink stock bottle made from 100% post-consumer recycled (PCR) material, ensuring brands will benefit from increased

speed to market while addressing the increased consumer demand and legislative requirements for PCR content. Amcor

Capsules was proud to announce the introduction of more than 90% recycled tin into its premium tin capsules and

sparkling foils product range, incorporating an unprecedented level of recycled content sourced from Europe.

• In addition to our annual R&D spend of approximately $100 million supporting our innovations, we continued investing in

partnerships to build capacity and drive demand for recycled materials – a crucial step in closing the loop to create a

circular economy for packaging. In fiscal year 2024, we achieved our goal of using 10% post-consumer recycled resins in

our product portfolio, one year ahead of our 2025 target.

• We developed new partnerships with recyclers and suppliers of recycled materials to ensure strong supply pipelines

across our global markets. For example, we entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with a leading

polyethylene producer in Canada for the purchase of mechanically recycled polyethylene resin for use in flexible

packaging films. We also signed a MoU with a leading petrochemical company based in South Korea to source advanced

recycled material primarily in the Asia Pacific region beginning in 2025, enabling Amcor to provide access to packaging

solutions using recycled content for food and healthcare customers in key markets in Asia Pacific. Combined, we believe

that these partnerships will help Amcor take another important step toward achieving our target of 30% recycled content

across our portfolio by 2030.

Sustainability informs every aspect of Amcor’s operational activities, from sourcing to manufacturing. For nearly two decades,

our EnviroAction program has driven continuous reduction of our carbon footprint, elimination of waste and minimization of

water usage. In January 2024, our near-term science-based targets for greenhouse gas (GHG) emission reduction were

validated by the Science-Based Targets initiative. Our net-zero science-based targets were subsequently validated by the

same organization in September 2024, committing Amcor to reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050.

We developed and published a decarbonization roadmap to clarify our strategy and guide our efforts to reduce GHG emissions

as we work to achieve our science-based targets. Amcor’s procurement team continues to focus closely on reducing Scope 3

GHG emissions from our supply chain, and hosted our second annual Supplier Sustainability Summit focused on GHG

reduction in January 2024.

We were included in Moody’s ESG Investment Register, the DJSI Australia Index and S&P Sustainability Yearbook 2024, and

achieved a B score on the CDP’s Climate Change rating, an EcoVadis Gold rating and an MSCI A rating.

Human Capital

Human Capital Management at Amcor

We believe that human capital management is critical to our success.

Our Human Resources (“HR”) Strategy

Supporting the execution of our growth aspiration is our HR Strategy. We recognize that we grow our business by growing our

people and putting our people at the center of what we do. Amcor’s HR Strategy aims to create an exceptional employee

experience through a range of ongoing initiatives focused on talent. We continue to focus on attracting, developing, engaging,

and retaining the best talent and strengthening the Company’s succession pipeline for the future. Supported by our Employee

Value Proposition, we undertake a variety of recruitment strategies to attract top talent and we monitor turnover rates in key

management positions to identify and address any emerging retention challenges.

Our Culture

Our Values continue to underpin and strengthen our performance by guiding and shaping our collective behaviors. The Values

describe the foundation of our culture and through every interaction, and consistency of approach, we create a working

environment of which we can be proud. An expression of our Values can be seen in how we recognize our people. We

celebrate the diverse experience, strengths, styles, nationalities and cultures of all our people. As of June 30, 2024,

approximately 41,000 employees worked for Amcor with approximately 31% located in North America, 29% located in Europe,

21% located in Latin America and 19% located in the Asia Pacific region. Our geographical distribution ensures a broad range

of perspectives and skills.

Safety

Safety is a core value at Amcor. We champion safe and responsible behavior among all employees to achieve our goal of zero

workplace injuries.

Talent Development

Growing our people is core to our HR Strategy and we have developed a range of executive development, leadership training,

and education and awareness programs to help employees progress across all functions and experience levels.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (“DE&I”)

We are committed to advancing our DE&I journey, building an even more inclusive Amcor culture where everyone can be the

best version of themselves every day, fueling our growth and innovation. Our DE&I strategy is based on four key pillars:

• Talent - Supporting the growth and diversification of our talent through mentoring and our hiring practices. Under this

pillar, the Amcor Leadership Mentoring Program is ongoing for the second year. The program aims to develop

emerging female talent by connecting them with senior leaders as well as through workshops and networking

opportunities. In addition, we are working towards diversifying our global talent pool by reducing unconscious bias

from talent attraction and development through a number of initiatives.

• Community - Promoting our employee resource groups and local grassroots plant initiatives. Under this pillar, we

have established a global network of DE&I representatives from all business groups and corporate functions to come

together, share their experiences and support the execution of our agenda across Amcor. The network also shares

regular updates with the Global Management Team. Our Employee Resource Groups are an important part of the

community pillar that support the DE&I strategy through local initiatives relevant to the countries and regions they are

located in.

• Awareness and Training - Providing more coordination and information around training opportunities. Under this

pillar, our DE&I training calendar provides an overview of opportunities for Amcor colleagues to build knowledge and

capabilities, aligning the entire organization on DE&I topics. Business groups organize these sessions in a variety of

formats, including live small-group seminars, large-group webinars and e-learnings. Participants also receive

supporting materials to better enable post-training reinforcement of learnings, including tips and reflection checks.

• Data and Reporting - Communicating our work and progress accurately and effectively to internal and external

stakeholders. Under this pillar, progress is measured in a variety of ways, such as through feedback from individuals

engaged in DE&I initiatives, community representatives, and members of employee resource groups. We also receive

feedback from across the organization through our engagement survey scores, including scores related to DE&I. We

continue to improve our scores by taking action both regionally and globally. We continue to build additional rigor

around more consistently tracking our internal metrics, such as shifts in representation in senior leadership positions.

Our progress is shared with the Global Management Team, the Human Resources Leadership Team and our Board.

commitment to ethics and drive adherence to the national laws in each country in which we operate.

feedback sessions and town halls to gather insights and foster open communication. Our engagement results help to drive

action on various topics globally as well as locally in an effort to continuously improve employee engagement.

Board Composition

Director Independence

The Board has determined that all Directors nominees other than the CEO are “independent” as that term is defined in the

applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE listing standards”). In addition, the Board has determined

that each member of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees is independent

pursuant to the NYSE listing standards and any relevant Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) standards. In

accordance with the NYSE listing standards, the Board looked at the totality of the circumstances to determine a Director’s

independence including reviewing any relationships and transactions between each Director and the Company (including its

independent registered public accounting firm). To be independent, a Director must be, among other things, able to exercise

independent judgment in the discharge of his or her duties without undue influence from management.

Board Diversity

The Board recognizes the value of diversity. The Board believes that a diverse membership provides a variety of perspectives,

improves the quality of dialogue, and contributes to a more balanced and effective decision-making process. In evaluating

candidates for Board membership, the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee consider many

factors to create a balanced Board with diverse viewpoints and deep expertise. Relevant factors include diversity of

professional experience, skill set, perspective, and background, including gender, race, ethnicity, cultural background and

geography (Please see page 5 for additional detail regarding the composition of our Board and its diversity characteristics).

Director Commitments

The Board does not believe that its members should generally be prohibited from serving on boards and/or committees of

other organizations, and the Board has not adopted any guidelines limiting such activities. However, prior to becoming a

director of another public company, a Director of the Company must notify the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate

Governance Committee, the Chair of the Board and the CEO to address whether the aggregate number of directorships held

by such Director would interfere with his or her ability to carry out his or her responsibilities as a Director of the Company. In

the case of Ms. Lucrèce Foufopoulos-De Ridder, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee believes that she has

sufficient time and capacity to devote to her responsibilities to Amcor, and she has attended all meetings of our Board and

committees of our Board on which she serves.

Board Refreshment

Amcor has maintained a steady, proactive focus on Board composition and refreshment, having added seven new Directors

since 2019, and recommending two new Directors as nominees at our Annual Meeting. As a key element of ensuring a

diverse Board, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee regularly reviews Director tenure and succession. The

disciplined Board succession planning, together with annual Board self-evaluations, enables optimal Board effectiveness and

ensures the appropriate level of Board refreshment to meet the Company’s strategic needs and priorities. In addition to

refreshing the Board’s composition generally, the Board routinely adjusts its committee chair and membership assignments

which promotes Director development and succession planning.

Board Leadership Structure

We do not have an express policy concerning whether the role of Chairman of the Board should be held by an independent

Director. Instead, the Board prefers to remain flexible to determine which leadership structure is most appropriate for the

Company and its shareholders based upon the specific circumstances at any given point in time. Mr. Liebelt, an independent

Director, currently serves as our Chairman of the Board. The Board currently intends that the CEO will also become a Director

of the Company. The Board believes the continued split in roles is appropriate at this time.

Committee is “independent,” as defined by NYSE listing standards. The Board has determined that Mr. Nayar and Ms. Carter

each qualify as an “audit committee financial expert” as that term is defined by the applicable SEC rules. Furthermore, each

member of the Audit Committee is “financially literate” as that term is defined by the NYSE listing standards.

The Audit Committee charter details the purpose and responsibilities of the Audit Committee, including to assist the Board in its

Governance Committee is comprised of three Directors: Karen Guerra, Tom Long and Andrea Bertone. Ms. Guerra serves as

the chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Effective as of the Annual Meeting, the Board has

appointed David Szczupak to replace Ms. Guerra as the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Each

member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee is “independent,” as defined by the NYSE listing standards.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee charter details the purpose and responsibilities of the Nominating and

Corporate Governance Committee, including:

• Identifying and recommending to Amcor’s Board individuals qualified to serve as Directors of Amcor;

• Reviewing the nominations for new Directors from all sources against criteria established for selection of new Directors

Special Transition Committee

During fiscal year 2024 , the Special Transition Committee met 10 times. The Special Transition Committee is comprised of

three Directors: Arun Nayar, Karen Guerra and Tom Long. Tom Long serves as the chair of the Special Transition Committee.

The Special Transition Committee does not have a formal charter. The Special Transition Committee’s purpose and

responsibilities generally consist of (i) negotiating with Ron Delia (our former CEO), a separation and release agreement; (ii)

identifying and engaging with an individual to serve as the interim Chief Executive Officer (the “Interim CEO”); (iii) determining

a cash and equity-based compensation package for the Interim CEO and recommending to the Compensation Committee and

the Board an appropriate employment agreement with such Interim CEO; and (iv) commencing and carrying out a search

process, on behalf of the Company, for a Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Executive Search”) and engaging an

executive search firm to assist with the Executive Search. The Committee engaged Spencer Stuart to assist with the Executive

Search. The Special Transition Committee made recommendations for the Board of Directors’ consideration regarding the

Executive Search. As a result of the completion of a robust internal and external Executive Search and fulfillment of the

Special Transition Committee’s responsibilities, the Special Transition Committee is no longer an active committee of the

Board.

Director Meeting Attendance

Directors are expected to attend all Board meetings, applicable committee meetings and the annual shareholder meeting. The

Board met 10 times in fiscal year 2024 . Each Director attended at least 75 percent of the aggregate of the total number of

Board meetings and committee meetings on which they served. All then-current Directors attended the annual shareholder

meeting as well.

The Board meets in regularly scheduled executive sessions without non-independent Directors in connection with each

regularly scheduled Board meeting and at other times as necessary. Our independent Chairman of the Board presides at the

executive sessions.

Key Areas of Board Oversight

Risk Management

Taking purposeful and calculated risks is an essential part of our business and is critical to the achievement of our long-term

strategic objectives. Our Board of Directors and the committees take an active role in the oversight of our Company’s most

significant risks. Enterprise risk management processes are embedded in all critical business processes and are designed to

identify operational, financial, strategic, compliance, cybersecurity, and reputational risks that could adversely affect the

execution of the Company’s plans, strategy, or effectiveness of its business model.

26 Amcor plc | 2024 Proxy Statement

Table of Contents

In addition to the management of the risks described above, we engage in an annual enterprise-wide risk assessment process.

Identified risks are evaluated based on the potential exposure to the business and measured as a function of severity of impact

and likelihood of occurrence. Assessments include identifying and evaluating risks and the steps being taken to mitigate the

risks. Bi-annually, a report summarizing these assessments is compiled, reviewed by the Chief Executive Officer and Chief

Financial Officer and is presented to the full Board. Interim reports on specific risks are provided if requested by the Board or

recommended by mana gement.

Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Matters

The Board and its committees oversee the execution of Amcor’s environmental, social and governance strategies and

initiatives as an integrated part of their oversight of the Company’s overall strategy and risk management. The Board is actively

engaged with management on related topics such as sustainability, product and service demand; climate scenario analysis

and oversight of related risks and opportunities; review and approval of strategies and goals related to sustainability; customer,

investor and other stakeholder expectations; and the environmental impact of our Company.

Cybersecurity Risk Oversight

The Board recognizes the importance of securing the information of the Company’s customers, vendors, and employees. The

Company has adopted physical, technological, and administrative controls on data security, and has a defined procedure for

data incident detection, containment, response, and remediation. While everyone at the Company plays a part in managing

these risks, oversight responsibility is shared by the Board, the Audit Committee, and management. The full Board receives an

annual information technology report and update from management, which includes an update on the Company’s

cybersecurity efforts. The Board of Directors has delegated to the Audit Committee the review of quarterly cybersecurity

reports and updates from management, which outline the Company’s cybersecurity risk management framework and include

updates on the Company’s completed, on-going, and planned actions relating to cybersecurity risks.

Human Capital Management

Our Board believes that human capital management is critical to the Company’s success. Our Board and Compensation

Committee oversee and engage with executives across the Company on a broad range of human capital management topics,

including strategy, organizational design, executive development and succession planning, health and safety matters, DE&I

initiatives, ethics and governance, and employee engagement feedback gathered from the annual global employee pulse

survey.

Our Board is involved in leadership development and succession planning throughout the year, and provides input on

important decisions in each of these areas. Our Board has primary responsibility for succession planning for the CEO and

oversight of other senior management positions. The Compensation Committee oversees the development of the process, and

our Board meets with high-potential executives at many levels across the Company through formal presentations and informal

events throughout the year. The Compensation Committee is also regularly updated on key talent indicators for the overall

workforce, including recruiting and attrition, DE&I, and development programs.

Amcor plc | 2024 Proxy Statement 27

Board Governance Practices

Board Evaluation Process

The Board recognizes that a robust and constructive evaluation process is an essential component of Board effectiveness and

good corporate governance. Accordingly, the Board and each committee will conduct an annual self-evaluation, and the Board

will engage in periodic external assessments, to gauge their effectiveness and consider opportunities for improvement. The

entire evaluation process, overseen by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, assesses the performance of

each committee and the Board as a whole. The self-evaluation results and any recommendations made by the Nominating and

Corporate Governance Committee to enhance the Board’s effectiveness are discussed by the full Board.

Shareholder Engagement

Amcor has active engagement with shareholders and proxy advisors regarding its performance, strategy, operations, and

governance practices. Members of senior management and our Chairman of the Board conduct an annual governance

roadshow to solicit shareholder perspectives and receive valuable, direct feedback on governance, executive compensation,

sustainability and related matters. Our engagement efforts cover holders of a significant amount of our shares on issue. The

feedback we receive is reviewed with our Board of Directors and helps to promote greater alignment of our governance

practices and policies with shareholder interests.

Recommendations for Directors

Consistent with the long-term interests of the shareholders, Directors must be able to participate constructively, drawing upon

their diverse individual experience, knowledge and background to provide perspectives and insights. The Board also

understands the importance of balancing tenure, turnover, diversity and skills of the individual Board members by pairing fresh

perspectives with valuable experience. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Board establish

different search criteria for recruiting new Directors at different times, depending upon the Company’s needs and the then-

current Board composition. In every case, however, candidates are required to have certain qualifications and attributes that

enable such individuals to contribute to the Board . The Company has engaged Spencer Stuart to assist in identifying and

evaluating potential director nominees.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider Director candidates recommended by shareholders in the

same manner that it considers all Director candidates. Director candidates must meet the minimum qualifications set forth in

the Corporate Governance Guidelines, and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will assess Director

candidates in accordance with those factors. Shareholders who wish to suggest qualified candidates to the Nominating and

Corporate Governance Committee should write the Corporate Secretary of the Company at Amcor plc, 83 Tower Road North,

Warmley, Bristol BS30 8XP, United Kingdom, stating in detail the candidate’s qualifications for consideration by the Nominating

and Corporate Governance Committee.

If a shareholder wishes to nominate a Director other than a person nominated by or on behalf of the Board of Directors, he or

she must comply with certain procedures outlined in our Articles of Association (“Articles”) by the deadlines described below

under “Submission of Shareholder Proposals and Nominations.”

Communications with the Board

The Board provides a process for shareholders and other interested parties to send communications to the Board or any of the

Directors. Interested parties may communicate with the Board or any of the Directors by sending a written communication to

the address below. All communications will be compiled by the Corporate Secretary of the Company and submitted to the

Board or the individual Directors.

Transactions with Related Parties

Our Board has approved a written policy whereby the Audit Committee must review and approve any transaction in which (a)

the Company was, is or will be a participant and (b) any of the Company’s Directors, nominees for Director, Executive Officers,

greater than five percent shareholders or any of their immediate family members (each, a “Related Party”) have a direct or

indirect material interest (including any transactions requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K) (“Related Party

Transaction”).

The Audit Committee may delegate authority to review Related Party Transactions to one or more Audit Committee members,

except for a transaction involving an Audit Committee member. Any determinations made under such delegated authority must

be promptly reported to the full Audit Committee, which may ratify or reverse such determination.

Standards for Approval of Transactions

The Audit Committee will analyze the following factors, in addition to any other factors the Audit Committee deems appropriate,

in determining whether to approve a Related Party Transaction:

• The position within or relationship of the Related Party with the Company;

• The materiality of the transaction to the Related Party and the Company;

• The business purpose for and reasonableness of the transaction;

• Whether the transaction is comparable to a transaction that could be available to an unrelated party, or is on terms that

the Company offers generally to persons who are not Related Parties;

• Whether the transaction is in the ordinary course of the Company’s business; and

• The effect of the transaction on the Company’s business and operations.

A Related Party Transaction will only be approved by the Audit Committee if the Audit Committee determines that the Related

Party Transaction is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

Transactions with Related Parties during Fiscal Year 2024

Item 404 of Regulation S-K requires that we disclose any transactions between Amcor and any related parties, as defined by

Item 404, in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related party had or will have a direct or indirect

material interest. During fiscal year 2024 , there were no Related Party Transactions meeting the requirements of Item 404 of

Regulation S-K.

Delinquent Section 16(a) Reports

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our Directors and Executive Officers, and persons

who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, such as our ordinary shares, to file with the SEC initial

reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of ordinary shares and other equity securities of the Company. To

our knowledge, based solely on a review of the copies of the reports and amendments thereto filed electronically with the SEC

Introduction and Fiscal Year 2024 Highlights

Our executive compensation framework plays a key role in aligning compensation to business strategy and outcomes that

deliver value to shareholders.

A Compensation Approach Appropriate for a Truly Global Company

We are a truly global company with a diverse group of “Senior Executives” (defined as our NEOs and other executives

reporting to the CEO) working in a range of different countries with responsibilities that extend beyond their respective

geographic locations. Our compensation approach is designed to attract and retain Senior Executives who are global leaders

with the experience and ability to perform in this environment. These same leaders are attractive potential candidates for

competitors both within the packaging sector and other industries – the largest portion of which are U.S.-based (as shown in

the chart below).

Emphasis on Variable, Performance-Based, At-Risk Compensation

To ensure we remain competitive as a truly global company, we consider market benchmarks in the major regions in which we

operate. Our remuneration programs aim to maintain appropriate internal relativities despite regional differences, while

ensuring and encouraging global mobility of talent. As set forth in the “Elements of Compensation” section of this proxy, our

programs focus on variable, performance-based, at-risk compensation to incentivize strong performance and delivery of

outcomes that align with the interests of our shareh olders .

Variable, Performance-Based, At-Risk Compensation is based on Amcor’s Shareholder Value Creation

Compensation Policy

Compensation Objectives

Our executive compensation strategy, frameworks, and programs are designed to:

• Align compensation to business strategy and outcomes that deliver value to our shareholders.

• Drive a high-performance culture by setting challenging objectives and rewarding high-performing individuals.

• Ensure compensation is competitive in the relevant employment marketplace to support the attraction, engagement, and

retention of executive talent.

Compensation Decision-Making

The Compensation Committee is responsible for determining, in consultation with the Board of Directors, a framework for the

compensation of our Senior Executives. This is to ensure that these executives are motivated to pursue the long-term growth

and success of the Company and that there is a clear relationship between performance and executive compensation. The

CEO reviews the annual compensation levels for each of our other Senior Executives and makes recommendations for any

changes to the Compensation Committee, who ultimately reviews and approves annual compensation levels, taking into

account those recommendations and other considerations it deems appropriate. The Compensation Committee reviews the

annual compensation levels for the CEO and makes recommendations for any changes to the Board of Directors, who

approve any changes. The CEO makes no recommendation with respect to his own compensation levels .

The Compensation Committee is also responsible for reviewing leadership talent to ensure that our leaders are of world-class

quality and that succession depth for key leadership roles is sufficient to deliver sustainable business success. It also

undertakes an annual formal evaluation of the performance of the CEO.

Use of Compensation Consultants

Where appropriate, the Compensation Committee seeks advice from independent compensation consultants in determining

appropriate executive compensation actions. The Compensation Committee uses external compensation consultants, FW

Cook and Willis Towers Watson, to understand market practice and review market data relevant for making compensation

determinations for key executive roles . During fiscal year 2024 , FW Cook provided support and guidance to the Compensation

Committee for decisions related to the CEO transition.

Use of Peer Company and Competitive Market Data

Due to the global scope of our business and the unique competitive environment in which we operate, a range of

benchmarking data is used when making individual compensation decisions. At Amcor, compensation for Senior Executives is

determined by reviewing general pay structures for similar roles in relevant markets around the world. Given we are an

international company with a diverse group of Senior Executives, working in a range of different countries, whose

responsibilities extend beyond their own geographic location, we need to be able to attract and retain Senior Executives who

are global leaders with the experience and ability to perform in this environment.

For fiscal year 2024 compensation benchmarking purposes, the Compensation Committee referenced multiple compensation

benchmarks from a carefully selected peer group of U.S. and global companies (the “Compensation Peer Group”) that

Amcor plc | 2024 Proxy Statement 35

Table of Contents

compete for selected executive talent with global or regional experience and responsibilities. We review our Compensation

Peer Group on an ongoing basis and update it as necessary. No changes were made to the peer group for fiscal year 2024 .

This approach assists the Compensation Committee in understanding and considering market practice across a number of

international markets when determining competitive pay structures for our executives.

Elements of Compensation

We compensate our NEOs using a combination of fixed and variable compensation plans. The primary elements of our

executive compensation programs are:

• Base salaries

• Short-term incentive (STI); delivered through a combination of cash and deferred equity

• Long-term incentive (LTI)

Greater emphasis is placed on variable compensation with the CEO receiving 79% of his target compensation as variable

compensation and the other NEOs receiving 76% (on average) of their target compensation as variable compensation, as

shown below.

of the STI.

We believe that these components, taken together, promote the compensation objectives described above.

36 Amcor plc | 2024 Proxy Statement

Table of Contents

In determining the amounts payable with respect to each element, and the relative weighting of the various elements for each

of our NEOs, the Compensation Committee considers the compensation elements, weightings and levels generally paid for

similar roles in relevant markets around the world. We do not have a formal policy regarding allocation among types of

compensation other than to ensure overall market competitiveness and to emphasize variable, performance-based, at-risk

compensation. As such, our goal is to award compensation that is competitive in relation to the compensation objectives and in

the best interest of our shareholders.

Base Salaries

Base salary is intended to provide a fixed component of compensation commensurate with each NEO’s seniority, skillset,

experience, role, and responsibilities. Base salaries were not increased as part of the annual review in fiscal year 2024 .

Short-Term Incentive (STI)

We provide our NEOs with a short-term incentive (“STI”) in the form of an annual, performance-based incentive program that

delivers compensation based on achievement of annual business objectives. Part of any STI earned is delivered in restricted

share units (“RSUs”) that are deferred for an additional period of two years (“STI-Deferred Equity Plan Awards”). The use of

STI-Deferred Equity Plan Awards is intended to build equity ownership, to align management incentives with shareholder value

creation and to act as a retention incentive.

Details of the range of potential STI cash payments, the proportion to be received at “target” performance, the actual payments

made, and RSUs awarded under the STI-Deferred Equity Plan Awards in respect of fiscal year 2024 are shown below. The

actual outcomes are based on each NEO’s performance against a selected range of safety, financial, strategy development

and organization development goals both on an Amcor and a business group level. Above-target outcomes are only payable

based on outperformance against selected financial metrics.

Name STI % at Target (as % of Base Salary) STI % Range STI % Actual STI Payment (USD) ($) Deferred Equity Awarded (USD) Deferred Equity Award (No. RSUs) (2)
Peter Konieczny (1) 120 % 0% to 180% of base salary 65 % $961,646 $480,823 48,766
Ron Delia 120 % 0% to 180% of base salary 87 % $1,532,785 $766,393 77,728
Michael Casamento 75 % 0% to 150% of base salary 61 % $681,693 $340,846 34,569
Eric Roegner 75 % 0% to 150% of base salary 14 % $145,634 $72,817 7,386
Fred Stephan 75 % 0% to 150% of base salary 50 % $527,237 $263,618 26,737
Michael Zacka 75 % 0% to 150% of base salary 32 % $416,841 $208,420 21,138

(1) Mr. Konieczny ’s STI % at Target and STI % Range as shown above are effective as of April 15, 2024, the date of his appointment as

Chief Executive Officer . Prior to his appointment, his STI % at Target was 75% of base salary and his STI % Range was 0 to 150% of

base salary. The STI payment to Mr. Konieczny at the end of the fiscal year was prorated to reflect the period of time he served in each

of the roles during the course of the year.

(2) Equity allocations were determined based on the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of Amcor shares for the five trading days prior

to and including June 30, 2024 ( $9.86 per share). Where STIs are determined in currencies other than USD, the average foreign

exchange rate for the same five-day period was applied to determine the USD equivalent.

The table below also includes a more detailed analysis of the targets and outcomes for the CEO and Chief Financial Officer

(“CFO”).

Category Safety Targets Financial Targets Strategy and Organizational Development Goals
Weighting 5% 75-80% 15-20%
Outcome Some targets met
Comments • Safety recordable cases decreased by 12% from fiscal year 2023 and more than 70% of sites were injury free for more than 12 months • Net sales of $13,640 million • GAAP net income of $730 million • Adjusted EPS of 70.2 cps • Adjusted EBIT of $1,560 million • Adjusted free cash flow of $952 million (up >$100 million or 12% on last year) • Significant progress on talent and organizational matters, delivery of strategic projects and advancement of sustainability agenda

The remaining NEOs’ targets and weighting were specific to their scope of accountability and business group.

• All NEOs had a safety objective to reduce recordable cases.

• Financial metrics included both consolidated Amcor and business group-specific metrics including earnings, cash flow and

sales growth metrics. Metrics and weighting for each ensured NEOs were incentivized to focus on objectives specific to

their respective business groups.

• NEOs were assigned strategy and organizational development goals, where applicable to the role, with a focus on talent

and employee engagement.

The performance targets for consolidated Amcor results are consistent with those of the CEO and CFO. Performance targets

related to business group or unit performance are established based on annual operating plans (which are considered

commercially sensitive), and are determined by definitive and objective criteria set at levels intended to be challenging and

require significant leadership effort, substantial achievement, and measurable value creation for payout to occur. We do not

publicly report financial results for businesses within a reportable segment to protect the commercially sensitive nature of that

information and the Company’s competitive positions.

Long-Term Incentive (LTI)

The objective of our LTI plan is to reward the achievement of long-term sustainable business outcomes, which is consistent

with the Company’s objective of value creation for our shareholders.

LTI grants during fiscal year 2024

LTI awards that were granted during fiscal year 2024 consist of a grant of options and performance rights (performance

shares, in the case of U.S. participants) that have a three-year performance period that began July 1, 2023 and will end June

30, 2026 . The performance conditions applicable to this award are adjusted EPS with a RoAFE gateway and relative TSR

measured against a peer group of companies (the “TSR Peer Group”), each as described below:

• Half of the award is determined based on constant currency adjusted EPS growth over a three-year performance period,

with 5% average annual adjusted EPS growth resulting in 50% of this portion of the award vesting, and 10% average

annual adjusted EPS growth resulting in full vesting of this portion of the award (subject to linear interpolation between

these two points). There is a further condition that Amcor’s adjusted RoAFE is at or above 12%. If average annual

adjusted EPS growth is less than 5%, or RoAFE is less than 12%, this portion of the award will not vest (1) .

• The other half of the award is based on relative TSR performance over a three-year performance period against the TSR

Peer Group, with 35th percentile TSR resulting in 25% of this portion of the award vesting, 50th percentile TSR resulting in

50% of this portion of the award vesting, and 75th percentile TSR resulting in full vesting of this portion of the award

(subject to linear interpolation between these points). There is no vesting of this portion of the award for performance

below the 35th percentile.

38 Amcor plc | 2024 Proxy Statement

Table of Contents

The combination of adjusted EPS with a RoAFE condition ensures that management is rewarded for achieving profitable

growth while sustaining strong returns. The use of relative TSR provides alignment with a shareholder’s perspective of the

Company’s relative performance against peer companies.

The table below shows the TSR Peer Group for the LTI granted in fiscal year 2024 :

TSR PEER GROUP (2) :

Ansell Limited General Mills, Inc. PepsiCo, Inc.
AptarGroup, Inc. Graphic Packaging International, Inc. Sealed Air Corporation
Avery Dennison Corporation Huhtamäki Oyj Silgan Holdings, Inc.
Ball Corporation International Paper Company Sonoco Products Company
Berry Global Group, Inc. Johnson & Johnson The Procter & Gamble Company

Coles Group Limited Mondelez International, Inc. Unilever PLC
Conagra Brands, Inc. Nestlé S.A. Wesfarmers Limited
Crown Holdings, Inc. O-I Glass, Inc. WestRock Company
Danone S.A. Orora Limited Woolworths Group Limited

(1) The Board has flexibility to adjust the EPS and RoAFE hurdles, or adjust the structure of these hurdles, to ensure they remain appropriate

in the event of material events or strategic initiatives that affect the relevance of the performance conditions.

(2) Certain events may occur (e.g. M&A, public to private transactions) that could affect the composition of the peer group. The Board has,

accordingly, retained discretion to determine how those events will be treated at the time they arise. This may result in the alteration of

the composition of the peer group from time to time. The Board also retains the discretion to deal with any other material event that

affects the relevance of any member in the peer group.

LTI vested during fiscal year 2024

LTI awards that vested during fiscal year 2024 were granted in 2021 and had a three-year performance period that ended on

June 30, 2024 . The performance conditions applicable to this plan were relative TSR and adjusted EPS with a RoAFE

gateway. Relative TSR performance against the TSR Peer Group was at the 50th percentile resulting in 25% vesting under this

metric. Average adjusted EPS performance was 2.2% , resulting in no vesting under this metric. The RoAFE gateway was met.

This resulted in a total vesting of 25% of this LTI award.

Policies and Practices Relating to the Timing of Equity Awards

We generally grant annual equity-based awards during the first quarter of our fiscal year, on a predetermined date following

our Compensation Committee’s approval of the awards, although such timing may change from year to year. The Committee

also may consider and approve interim or mid-year grants, or grants made on another basis, from time to time based on

business needs, changing compensation practices or other factors, in the discretion of the Committee. The Committee does

not take into account material nonpublic information in determining the timing and terms of equity-based awards, and we have

not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

Senior Executive Retention Share Plan (“SERSP”)

We use the SERSP on a limited basis at recruitment to replace existing awards from previous employers or as a retention

mechanism for selected executives.

In connection with our CEO transition (as set forth in the “Employment Agreements” section of this proxy) the Compensation

Committee and the Board approved awards for Messrs. Konieczny, Casamento, Roegner, Stephan, and Zacka to provide an

effective retention incentive while the Board conducted a thorough search process to identify a successor for the CEO role and

for a transition period following the appointment of the successful candidate. Details on these grants are set forth in the “2024

Grants of Plan-Based Awards” section of this proxy.

40 Amcor plc | 2024 Proxy Statement

Table of Contents

Employment Agreements

Each of our NEOs has entered into an executive services agreement, which generally provides for compensation terms

(including base salary, STI and LTI opportunity, and in limited circumstances, retention incentives), and other perquisites and

benefits described elsewhere in the “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section. The executive services

agreements generally require a 12-month notice period to terminate the services agreement, although the Company may

waive any portion of the notice period. The Company may summarily terminate the employment of a NEO (without notice or

severance payments) (a “cause” termination) immediately if the NEO commits: (a) a serious or persistent breach of any of the

terms or conditions of the executive’s employment; (b) any negligent act the executive commits in connection with the

performance of the duties of the executive’s role; (c) any conduct or act which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company,

brings the Company into disrepute; (d) any criminal offense for which the executive is convicted which, in the reasonable

opinion of the Company, impairs the executive’s ability to perform his or her duties; (e) any wrongful or dishonest or fraudulent

act or conduct which, in the reasonable opinion of the Company, brings the Company into disrepute; or (f) any other act which

would entitle the Company to dismiss the executive summarily.

Furthermore, the executive services agreements include obligations relating to conflicts of interest, confidential information,

intellectual property, and competitive activity following a termination of employment for any reason, for the restricted period

specified in each executive services agreement.

CEO Transition

During fiscal year 2024, in connection with Mr. Konieczny’s appointment as Interim CEO, he entered into a letter agreement

(the “Interim CEO Letter Agreement”) setting forth employment and compensation terms relating to his role as Interim CEO.

Pursuant to the terms of the Interim CEO Letter Agreement, effective April 15, 2024, Mr. Konieczny received an increased

annualized base salary of CHF 1,580,190 and participated in the STI at the level and terms previously provided to the former

CEO, Mr. Delia, including a target percentage of 120% of base salary and payouts ranging from 0 to 180% of base salary, and

the same performance goals as previously set for Mr. Delia. Mr. Konieczny continued to participate in our STI-Deferred Equity

Plan with an annual grant valued at 50% of the cash STI payout paid to him and delivered in the form of time-based RSUs. He

also continued to participate in our LTI with grants made to him based on a grant date fair value of 200% of his base salary. Mr.

Konieczny also received a retention grant of 170,000 RSUs with a vesting period that continues to February 2026.

In connection with Mr. Konieczny’s appointment to the role of CEO effective September 4, 2024, he entered into a letter

agreement (the “CEO Letter Agreement”) that sets forth employment and compensation terms relating to his role as the CEO,

and which incorporates certain terms of Mr. Konieczny’s executive services agreement. The CEO Letter Agreement confirms

that Mr. Konieczny will report to the Board in his role as CEO. Mr. Konieczny’s compensation remained unchanged, except that

his LTI grant level was increased from 200% to 250% of base salary, consistent with that provided to Mr. Delia. The CEO Letter

Agreement supersedes and cancels the Interim CEO Letter Agreement.

If we were to terminate Mr. Konieczny without cause, or if Mr. Konieczny were to terminate his employment as a good leaver

(defined generally to include experiencing certain material reductions to compensation or material negative changes to duty,

authority or responsibility), each while he is serving as CEO, then he would be entitled to: (1) 12 months of base salary; (2) any

STI payment previously earned at the time of termination, paid entirely in cash; (3) a pro-rated portion of the STI award earned

for the performance period during which the termination occurs, paid entirely in cash; (4) the vesting in full of all outstanding

RSUs granted to him under the STI-Deferred Equity Plan within 30 days after the employment termination date and the vesting

in full of the RSUs granted to him at the time he became Interim CEO within 30 days following cessation of active employment;

and (5) any other equity awards for which he has completed one-half of the performance or vesting period as of the

termination date will continue to vest according to their terms on a pro-rated basis.

In connection with Mr. Delia’s retirement, he entered into a Transition and Release Agreement (the “Transition and Release

Agreement”). The Transition and Release Agreement provides for the following, in exchange for Mr. Delia’s execution of a

general release of claims and continued compliance with certain covenants: (1) continued base salary through September 30,

2024, the date of his expected retirement (the “Retirement Date”); (2) the right to receive the cash bonus under the STI plan

(including any portion due under the STI - Deferred Equity plan which will be settled in cash) for fiscal year 2024; (3) the

continued right to vest in any equity awards for which the vesting date occurs prior to the Retirement Date (contingent on any

requirements for vesting being met); (4) a payment in an amount equal to six months’ base salary following the Retirement

Date; (5) the right to receive a pro-rated STI award for fiscal year 2025, if any is earned, to be paid at the same time such

bonuses are otherwise paid; (6) relocation assistance; (7) our coverage of the employer portion of any applicable premium for

continued health care coverage pursuant to COBRA for a period of 12 months following the Retirement Date; (8) tax support

services through calendar years 2023, 2024, 2025, and 2026; (9) the vesting in full within 30 days after the Retirement Date of

the outstanding RSUs under the STI-Deferred Equity Plan; (10) the right to exercise vested stock options for 90 days after the

Retirement Date and continued vesting on a pro-rated basis of outstanding stock option awards and performance share

awards, assuming that performance conditions are met, with any stock options vesting after the Retirement Date remaining

exercisable for 90 days after the vesting date; and (11) career transition assistance at our expense for a period of 12 months.

Mr. Delia will not receive any grants of additional equity awards under the STI-Deferred Equity Plan or our LTI plan, nor will he

receive an allocation of employer contributions under our non-qualified deferred compensation plan for the 2024 calendar year.

Amcor plc | 2024 Proxy Statement 41

The Transition and Release Agreement contains customary restrictive covenants relating to non-competition, non-solicitation,

non-disparagement, and confidentiality, for which the payments described above will serve as consideration.

Chief Operating Officer Letter Agreement

On September 5, 2024, in connection with Mr. Stephan’s appointment to the Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) role, he entered

into a letter agreement (the “COO Letter Agreement”) that sets forth employment and compensation terms relating to his role

as the COO, and which incorporates certain terms of Mr. Stephan’s executive services agreement. Pursuant to the terms of

the COO Letter Agreement, Mr. Stephan will receive an annualized base salary of USD 1,150,000. He will continue to

participate in the STI including a target percentage of 100% of base salary and payouts ranging from 0 to 200% of base salary

based on individual and Company performance. Mr. Stephan will continue to participate in our STI-Deferred Equity Plan with

an annual grant valued at 50% of the cash STI payout paid to him and delivered in the form of time-based RSUs. He will also

continue to participate in our LTI with grants made to him based on a grant date fair value of 225% of his base salary. If we

were to terminate Mr. Stephan other than for cause while he is serving as COO, then he would be entitled to severance

equivalent to twelve months’ base salary. The notice period for Mr. Stephan to terminate his employment as identified under

his executive services agreement has been changed to six months’ written notice.

Minimum Shareholding Policy

A minimum shareholding policy is in place in order to strengthen alignment of the interests of our NEOs with value creation for

our shareholders. Under the minimum shareholding policy, the CEO and each of their direct reports, including each of our

NEOs, must build and maintain a minimum shareholding of Amcor shares. Our CEO is required to acquire and maintain

ownership of Amcor shares (excluding vested and unvested options and unvested shares) with a value equivalent to 300% of

base salary, and each of our CEO’s direct reports, including each of our other NEOs, are required to acquire and maintain

ownership of Amcor shares (excluding vested and unvested options and unvested shares) with a value equivalent to 200% of

base salary. These executives are required to attain these minimum shareholding requirements progressively within five years

of becoming subject to the minimum shareholding policy.

Hedging and Pledging Policy

Our equity award agreements contain a provision restricting participants from hedging or pledging the value of the award or

entering into a derivative agreement in respect of the award. Equity award recipients include all of our executive officers,

Directors and certain employees. Any breach of the hedging or pledging restriction could result in cancellation or forfeiture of

the award, at the discretion of the Board. In addition, our Insider Trading Policy prohibits members of the Board and senior

personnel of the Company from short-selling or trading in derivative securities related to Amcor’s equity securities, with the

exception of trading in derivative securities received pursuant to a Company compensatory or benefit plan.

Insider Trading Policy

Our Board of Directors has adopted an Insider Trading Policy which governs the purchase, sale, and/or other dispositions of

our securities by our directors, officers, other key employees, and covered persons which we believe is reasonably designed to

ensure compliance with applicable insider trading rules, regulations, and listing standards. For more information, please see

the description of our Insider Trading Policy in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Compensation Recovery Policy

Effective as of October 2, 2023 , we adopted a compensation recovery policy (“Compensation Recovery Policy”) governing the

recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation consistent with the requirements of the SEC and the NYSE.

The Compensation Recovery Policy provides that, if we are required to prepare a qualifying accounting restatement, then,

unless an exception applies, we will recover reasonably promptly the excess of (1) the amount of incentive-based

compensation received by a person who served as a covered officer at any time during the applicable performance period

during the three completed years immediately preceding the date we are required to prepare the accounting restatement over

(2) the amount that would have been received had it been determined based on the restated financials. The Compensation

Recovery Policy applies to incentive-based compensation received by a covered officer on or after October 2, 2023.

In addition to the Compensation Recovery Policy, a clawback policy is in place that allows the Board of Directors to cancel

awards in the event of fraud, dishonesty, breach of obligations, financial misstatements, or if awards were made on the basis

of a misrepresentation or an omission, or on the basis of facts or circumstances that were later proven to be untrue or

inaccurate.

Executive Compensation Tables

2024 Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth summary information concerning the compensation earned by our NEOs during fiscal years

2024 , 2023 , and 2022 . Movements in exchange rates also have an impact on amounts reported for certain NEOs who are not

paid in U.S. dollars.

Please note that the “Stock Awards” values for fiscal year 2024 for our NEOs (other than Mr. Delia) reflect the impact of one-

time retention grants made in connection with our CEO transition, as outlined in the section above titled “Senior Executive

Retention Share Plan”. These one-time retention grants substantially increased the “Total” compensation values shown for

fiscal year 2024, even though they were granted as an exception to our regular annual compensation process and the NEOs

will not realize any value from the grants unless they satisfy the vesting schedule that runs through February 2026.

Excluding the value of the one-time retention grants, the fiscal year 2024 “Total” compensation values would be as follows:

$5,961,119 for Mr. Konieczny, $4,927,889 for Mr. Casamento, $3,386,588 for Mr. Roegner, $4,003,691 for Mr. Stephan and

$5,215,908 for Mr. Zacka.

(4) The amounts in these columns represents the grant-date fair value of performance rights/shares (in the “Stock Awards” column) and

options (in the “Option Awards” column) granted under the LTI for fiscal year 2024 , as well as the restricted share units granted under the

STI-Deferred Equity Plan and units granted in connection with our CEO transition (as outlined in the section above titled “Senior

Executive Retention Share Plan (“SERSP”)”), in each case as determined pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718. STI-

Deferred Equity Plan awards were calculated as 50% of the short-term cash incentive payments. Where short-term cash incentive

payments were determined in currencies other than USD, the average foreign exchange rate for the five trading days prior to and

including June 30, 2024 was applied to determine the USD equivalent. Equity allocations under the STI-Deferred Equity Plan were

determined based on the VWAP of Amcor shares for the five trading days prior to and including June 30, 2024 ( $9.86 per share). The LTI

allocations represent the grant-date fair value of these awards. As disclosed in the footnotes to the Company’s financial statements in its

Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2024, the fair value of share options was determined using the Black-Scholes

option pricing mod el and/or Monte Carlo simulations and the fair value of performance rights/shares was determined using discounting

and Monte Carlo simulations.

(5) Amounts represent STI payments earned for fiscal year 2024 (excluding the value of STI-Deferred Equity Plan Awards). For a description

of the methodology applied in determining the STI payments, refer to the section above “Elements of Compensation - Short-Term

Incentive (STI).” Where STI payments were determined in currencies other than USD, the average foreign exchange rate for the five

trading days prior to and including June 30, 2024 was applied to determine the USD equivalent for fiscal year 2024 .

(6) The elements of compensation included in the “All Other Compensation” column for fiscal year 2024 are set forth in the “ 2024 Benefits,

Relocation Expenses, Plan Contributions and Tax-Related Payments (the “All Other Compensation” Column)” table below.

2024 Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Our non-qualified deferred compensation plan permits eligible participants to (i) defer up to 50% of their salary and (ii) defer up

to 100% of their STI cash payment. For Mr. Delia and Mr. Roegner, additional contributions were made to the plan for calendar

year 2023 equal to 10% of base salary and their STI cash payment (reduced by contributions already made to other plans). As

previously disclosed, Mr. Delia will not be eligible for such an additional contribution for calendar year 2024 due to his

retirement. As part of a revised plan, Mr. Stephan receives contributions to the plan equal to 7% of his base salary and STI

cash payment that are in excess of the compensation limit for the plan year under Section 401(a)(17) of the Internal Revenue

Code.

Participants are able to invest these deferrals and contributions across a number of investment options, which make earnings

and losses based on the performance of these investments. Account balances are paid out upon a participant’s separation

from service or the participant’s disability.

The contributions and earnings under the plan during fiscal year 2024 , as well as the account balances under the plan as of

the end of fiscal year 2024 , for participating NEOs were as follows:

Name Executive Contributions in Last Fiscal Year (“FY”) (1) ($) Registrant Contributions in Last FY (2) ($) Aggregate Earnings in Last FY (3) ($) Aggregate Withdrawals/ Distributions in Last FY ($) Aggregate Balance at Last FY (4)(5) ($)

(1) Amounts in this column are included in either the “Salary” or “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” columns of the “ 2024 Summary

Compensation Table.”

(2) Amounts in this column are included in the “All Other Compensation” column of the “ 2024 Summary Compensation Table.”

(3) Amounts in this column are not included in the “ 2024 Summary Compensation Table” as the amounts represent investment returns (gains

or losses), which are not considered “above market” or “preferential” within the SEC’s definition of those terms for purposes of the

Summary Compensation Table. Our deferred compensation plan provides participants with a subset of investment elections available to

all eligible employees under our tax-qualified Section 401(k) plan.

(4) Plan participation start dates for each of our eligible NEOs are as follows: November 1, 2007 for Mr. Delia , September 10, 2018 for Mr.

participation start date. Messrs. Konieczny, Casamento, and Zacka are non-U.S. NEOs and as such, not eligible to participate in our non-

qualified deferred compensation plan.

(5) Starting in fiscal year 2018, the Company has been subject to U.S. reporting and disclosure of non-qualified deferred compensation.

Since then, total executive and registrant contribution amounts for our eligible NEOs have been reported in each year’s Summary

Compensation Table as follows: $ 8,585,453 for Mr. Delia , $ 2,313,695 for Mr. Roegner , and $ 1,413,390 for Mr. Stephan .

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Compensation and other terms of employment for our NEOs are formalized in executive services agreements as described

under “—Employment Agreements”). In the event of termination of employment by the Company without “cause” (as described

under “—Employment Agreements”), our NEOs each have a contractual notice period equal to 12 months. In the event of a

settlement of this notice period, the amount payable will be equal to the greater of the amount payable required by law or

payment in lieu of notice (12 months’ base salary). No single-trigger payments or double-trigger payments are specified in a

change of control event, however the Board retains discretion to afford pro-rated incentive payments and vesting of equity

awards, and equity awards may be accelerated on a termination in connection with a change of control event. The Board also

may deal with other related matters at its discretion.

The table set forth below shows the estimated potential payment obligations to each NEO at the end of fiscal year 2024 .

(1) Where NEOs are paid in a currency other than USD, the amount is converted to USD using the annual average exchange rate used

throughout the fiscal year. Messrs. Konieczny, Casamento, and Zacka are paid in CHF (1 CHF = 1.1271 USD) .

As described in the section above titled “Employment Agreements,” in connection with Mr. Delia’s retirement, he entered into a

Transition and Release Agreement providing for various payments and other benefits in connection with his anticipated

retirement. We estimate the value of those payments and other benefits as of June 30, 2024, at approximately $8.4 million as

follows: (i) $3.95 million in continued pro-rata vesting of LTIP awards on the scheduled vesting dates and assuming at-target

performance (these awards remain subject to satisfaction of performance conditions); (ii) $2.3 million in bonus payments under

the STI plan for fiscal year 2024 (inclusive of any STI – Deferred Equity Awards settled in cash, as described in the section

above titled “Short-Term Incentive”); (iii) $0.96 million in accelerated vesting of STI – Deferred Equity Awards; (iv) $0.88 million

(6 months of base salary) as a cash lump sum payable following retirement; and (v) $0.28 million in other benefits including

payments of medical premiums for continued medical, dental and vision COBRA coverage for 12 months, tax support through

tax year 2026, career transition assistance, attorneys’ fees and general relocation costs from his residence in Switzerland to

the United States. The value of accelerated and continued vesting of equity grants described above is based on Amcor’s share

price at end of fiscal year 2024 ($9.78).

CEO Pay Ratio

The following shows the relationship between fiscal year 2024 annual total compensation for our median employee and Mr.

Konieczny , who was serving as our interim CEO at fiscal year end. We are a truly global company, with employees in over 40

countries and 72% of them located outside of the U.S. during fiscal year 2024 (as shown in the chart below).

The annual total compensation of our median employee, not including our CEO, was $71,038 . The annual total compensation

of Mr. Konieczny , as reported in the Summary Compensation Table, was $7,480,919 . For pay ratio purposes, because Mr.

Konieczny served in the interim CEO role only for part of the year, this amount was adjusted to $7,788,017 to reflect his annual

base salary rate as interim CEO of $1,781,098 , after converting to USD from CHF (1 CHF = 1.1271 USD) . Based on this

information, a reasonable estimate of the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation

of our median employee was approximately 110 to 1.

The CEO pay ratio estimate has been calculated in a manner consistent with item 402(u) of Regulation S-K. The SEC’s rules

for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee’s annual total

compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, to apply certain exclusions, and to make reasonable

estimates and assumptions that reflect their employee populations and compensation practices. As a result, the pay ratio

reported by other companies may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported above, as other companies have different

employee populations and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates, and

assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios.

Given there has been no significant change to Amcor’s employee population or compensation programs since the median

employee was identified for fiscal year 2023 , Amcor did not re-identify the median employee for fiscal year 2024 (as permitted

by the SEC). The annual total compensation of the median employee was updated to reflect fiscal year 2024 values. Where

the median employee was paid in a currency other than USD , compensation was converted to USD using the annual average

exchange rate used throughout the fiscal year.

The process for identifying our median employee involved analyzing annual base compensation (salary and hourly wages) for

all full-time, part-time, and temporary employees within the organization, other than the CEO, who were employed on April 1,

2023 . At that time, and as permitted by the SEC rules under the 5% “De Minimis Exemption”, we excluded 2,097 non-U.S.

employees, or 4.97% of the total employee population of 42,234 employees. The excluded countries and their employee

populations were as follows: Dominican Republic (27 employees), India (990 employees), Romania (82 employees), South

Africa (10 employees), Turkey (658 employees) and Venezuela (330 employees) . As a result of these exclusions, our median

employee was determined from a total of 40,137 employees. As part of this process, for employees who were paid in a

currency other than USD, compensation was converted to USD using the exchange rate on April 1, 2023 .

(3) The cumulative TSR for the Company is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement

period, assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between the Company’s share price at the end and the beginning of the

measurement period by the Company’s share price at the beginning of the measurement period. Each of these yearly percentage

changes was applied to a deemed fixed investment of $100 at the beginning of the measurement period to produce the value of such

investment as of each fiscal year end.

(4) The cumulative Peer Group TSR utilizes the S&P 500 Materials Index (the “Peer Group”), which we also utilize in the stock performance

graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024 . We selected this

index as our Peer Group because (i) the Company is a constituent and (ii) it meets all disclosure requirements. For each fiscal year, our

Peer Group TSR was calculated based on a deemed fixed investment of $100 through the measurement period, assuming dividend

reinvestment for the peer group, weighted according to the respective companies’ stock market capitalization at the beginning of the

measurement period.

(5) Dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reflected in our audited financial statements for the applicable fiscal year.

(6) Adjusted EPS is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as set forth in the “Definitions of Non-GAAP Financial

Measures” section of this proxy statement.

Relationship Between Compensation Actually Paid and Performance

In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission rules, the following section is intended to describe the

relationship between Compensation Actually Paid and the Company’s performance over the fiscal years presented:

• Our cumulative TSR performance was positive in each of the fiscal years presented and increased year over year from 2020

to 2022, it decreased in 2023 and then increased in 2024 to just a few percentage points below 2021 levels. This cumulative

TSR performance correlates with the CAP amounts reported in this table. While our TSR performance over the years

presented is positive, it’s been outperformed by the Peer Group in each of the fiscal years presented. Amcor is a constituent

of this Peer Group but performance of this group is largely influenced by companies in the chemical and mining industries

and as such not directly comparable to the Company’s performance.

• Our Net Income performance varied in each of the fiscal years presented, it decreased from 2021 to 2022, increased from

2022 to 2023 and then decreased for 2024. This Net Income performance was not correlated with the reported CAP

amounts reported in this table and the Company does not use net income to determine compensation levels or incentive

plan payouts.

• Our Adjusted EPS increased from 2021 to 2022, decreased from 2022 to 2023 and from 2023 to 2024. This correlates with

the CAP amounts reported in this table but is not the primary driver of the year to year changes.

Most Important Financial Performance Measures

As described in detail in the “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section, our executive compensation

programs are designed to ensure alignment between executive pay, business performance and shareholders. For the last

fiscal year, the most important financial performance measures used to link Compensation Actually Paid to our PEO and Non-

PEO NEOs (as calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K) to Company performance are listed below in no

specific ranked order:

Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS)
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT)

Definitions of Non-GAAP

Financial Measures

We report our financial results in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America

(GAAP) and also communicate with investors using certain non-GAAP financial measures that are intended to supplement the

presentation of our financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Below is a list of non-GAAP measures used in this

proxy stateme nt an d a description of how these can be derived from our audited financial statements.

• Adjusted Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) and Adjusted Earnings Per Share (EPS; Diluted US Cents)

are non-GAAP financial measures adjusted for factors that are unusual or unpredictable. These measures exclude the

impact of certain amounts related to the effect of changes in currency exchange rates, acquisitions, and restructuring,

including employee-related costs, equipment relocation costs, accelerated depreciation, and the write-down of equipment.

These measures also exclude gains or losses on sales of significant property and divestitures, significant property and

other impairments, net of insurance recovery, certain regulatory and litigation matters, significant pension settlements,

impairments in goodwill and equity method investments, and certain acquisition-related expenses, including transaction

and integration expenses, due diligence expenses, professional and legal fees, purchase accounting adjustments for

inventory, order backlog, intangible amortization, changes in the fair value of contingent acquisition payments and

economic hedging instruments on commercial paper, CEO transition costs, and impacts related to the Russia-Ukraine

conflict.

• Adjusted Free Cash Flow is a non-GAAP financial measure adjusted for factors that are unusual or unpredictable. This

measure is derived from Adjusted EBIT (as defined above) plus depreciation and amortization, excluding intangible

amortization resulting from purchase price accounting adjustments, less interest paid, net, income taxes paid, proceeds

from sales of property, plant, and equipment and other intangible assets, purchase of property, plant, and equipment and

other intangible assets, and movement in working capital, and other cash effects.

• Return on Average Funds Employed (RoAFE) is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as the last

twelve months of Adjusted EBIT (as defined above) divided by Average Funds Employed (four quarter average). Average

Funds Employed is defined by the Company as shareholder’s equity derived from Amcor’s Consolidated Balance Sheets

plus Net Debt. Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by the Company as total long-term and short-term debt

less cash and cash equivalents.

Report of the Audit Committee

The Company’s Audit Committee is composed of independent non-employee Directors as defined by applicable SEC rules and

NYSE listing standards. It is responsible for monitoring and overseeing the Company’s financial reporting and the Company’s

internal controls over accounting and financial reporting. The Committee is also specifically responsible for reviewing and

approving the external audit plan and the fees for non-audit services, and for reviewing and recommending to the Board the

external audit fees, for the current fiscal year. In performing its oversight function, the Committee relies upon advice and

information received in written form and in its quarterly discussions with the Company’s management, the head of the

Company’s internal audit function and the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers

AG (PwC). The Audit Committee regularly meets in executive session with the head of internal audit and PwC.

Specifically, the Committee has: (i) reviewed and discussed the Company’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year

ended June 30, 2024 with the Company’s management; (ii) discussed with PwC the matters required to be discussed by the

applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and the SEC; and (iii) received the

written disclosures and the letter from PwC required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding PwC’s

communications with the Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with PwC its independence.

Based on the Committee’s review and discussions mentioned above, the Committee recommended to the Board of Directors

that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June

30, 2024 .

Table of Contents

The Audit Committee has approved a pre-approval protocol for all non-audit services provided by PwC. This protocol is

reviewed and approved annually. On an annual basis, based on prior year fees, management prepares a framework including

a pre-approved bucket of fees for audit related services, tax services and other non-audit services which are then approved by

the Audit Committee. Actual services are approved by the Chief Financial Officer, Vice President & Corporate Controller / Vice

President Group Internal Audit (non-audit services) or Chief Financial Officer / Vice President Tax / Vice President Group

Internal Audit (tax services). Group Internal Audit then monitors whether the services / fees fit within the approved framework

and pre-approved bucket of fees. If the sum of services is expected to exceed the pre-approved bucket of fees, the Audit

Committee is requested to approve the additional services prior to approval of these services by management. On a quarterly

basis, management reports the actual approved services to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is then requested to

review and ratify the Permitted Non-Audit Services Engagements process on an annual basis. Approval of such services will

be in place until the next annual approval date at the October 2024 Audit Committee meeting.

In making its recommendation to appoint PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Audit

Committee has considered whether the provision of the non-audit services rendered by PwC is compatible with maintaining

that firm’s independence.

Proposal 2 Ratification of the Appointment

of PricewaterhouseCoopers AG as

Our Independent Registered Public

Accounting Firm for Fiscal Year 2025

A further purpose of the meeting is to vote on the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public

accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 . Although ratification is not required by law, the Board has determined

that it is desirable to seek shareholder ratification of this appointment in light of the critical role played by the independent

registered public accounting firm in auditing the Company’s financial statements. Therefore, the Audit Committee of the Board

of Directors recommends shareholder ratification of the appointment of PwC. If the shareholders do not ratify this appointment,

the Audit Committee may consider other independent auditors. A representative of PwC will be present at the meeting, with the

opportunity to make a statement if they desire and to respond to questions.

The proxies will vote your proxy for ratification of the appointment of PwC unless you specify otherwise in your proxy.

The Audit Committee and the Board of Directors recommend a vote “FOR” ratification of the appointment of PricewaterhouseCoopers AG for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025 .

Proposal 3 Advisory Vote on Executive

Compensation (“Say-On-Pay Vote”)

We are providing our shareholders an opportunity to cast a non-binding, advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs as

disclosed in this proxy statement and as required under Section 14A of the Exchange Act (which was put in place by the Dodd-

Frank Act). We will ask our shareholders to consider an advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs every year until the

next vote of our shareholders on the frequency of such advisory votes at our 2025 annual general meeting of shareholders

pursuant to applicable SEC rules, at which time we will consider the outcome of the vote and decide how frequently to hold

such future advisory votes.

As described in detail under the heading “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation

programs are designed to align compensation to business strategy and outcomes that deliver value to shareholders; drive a

high performance culture by setting challenging objectives and rewarding high-performing individuals; and assure

compensation is competitive in the relevant employment marketplace to support the attraction, motivation and retention of

executive talent. Please read the “Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis” in this proxy statement for additional

details about our executive compensation programs, including information about the fiscal year 2024 compensation of our

NEOs.

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our NEO compensation as described in this proxy statement. This

proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our

NEOs’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific type of compensation, but rather the overall

compensation of our NEOs and policies and practices described in this proxy statement. Accordingly, our Board of Directors

recommends that our shareholders vote “FOR” the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that Amcor’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the NEOs as disclosed

in Amcor’s Proxy Statement for the 2024 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, including the Compensation

Discussion and Analysis, the 2024 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

The Say-on-Pay Vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on Amcor, the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors.

However, we value shareholders’ opinions, and we will consider the outcome of the Say-on-Pay Vote when determining future

executive compensation programs.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the Compensation of our NEOs.

Important Information about the Proxy

Materials and Voting Your Shares

Why am I receiving these proxy materials?

The Company is soliciting your proxy in connection with the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders to be held on

Wednesday, November 6, 2024 . This proxy statement and the form of proxy or, in some cases, a Notice of Internet Availability,

are being mailed to shareholders commencing on or about September 24, 2024 .

Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of proxy materials?

Under the rules of the SEC, we are furnishing proxy materials to certain of our shareholders on the internet, rather than mailing

printed copies to those shareholders. This process reduces the environmental impact of our Annual Meeting of Shareholders,

expedites shareholders’ receipt of the proxy materials, and lowers our costs. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability of

Proxy Materials (the “Notice of Internet Availability” or “Notice”) by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy

materials unless you request one as instructed in that notice. Instead, the Notice of Internet Availability will instruct you as to

how you may access and review the proxy materials on the internet. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability by mail and

would like to receive a printed copy of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice of Internet

Availability.

How will my shares be voted by proxy?

The proxies will vote the shares represented by all properly executed proxies that we receive prior to the meeting that are not

revoked in accordance with your instructions. If you properly execute and submit your proxy, but do not indicate how you want

your shares voted, the Company proxy will vote your shares:

• “FOR” the ten Director-nominees set forth herein;

• “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of PwC as our independent registered public accounting firm; and

• “FOR” the non-binding, advisory vote approving our executive compensation.

Who will conduct and pay for the cost of this proxy solicitation?

We will bear all costs of soliciting proxies, including reimbursement of banks, brokerage firms, custodians, nominees, and

fiduciaries for reasonable expenses they incur. Proxies may be solicited personally, by mail, by telephone, by fax, or by internet

by our Directors, officers, or other regular employees without remuneration other than regular compensation. We have retained

Morrow Sodali LLC to act as a proxy solicitor for a fee estimated to be $50,000, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket

expenses.

Who is entitled to vote at the meeting?

You are entitled to vote or direct the voting of your Amcor shares if you were a shareholder of record or a beneficial owner of

shares in “street name” as of 4:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time on September 11, 2024 , or a holder of CHESS Depositary Interests

as of 7:00 p.m. Australian Eastern Standard Time, on September 11, 2024 , the record date for our Annual Meeting.

As of the record date, there were 1,445,343,212 ordinary shares of Amcor outstanding. Each ordinary share entitles the

shareholder of record to one vote. Cumulative voting is not permitted. See the Admission Policy in this proxy statement for

instructions on obtaining a ticket to attend the meeting.

What does it mean to be a shareholder of record?

If, on the record date, your ordinary shares were registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare, then

you are a “shareholder of record.” As a shareholder of record, you may vote in person at the Annual Meeting or vote by proxy.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by the internet, by telephone, or to fill out and

return the enclosed proxy card, to ensure your vote is counted.

Table of Contents

What does it mean to beneficially own shares in “street name”?

If, on the record date, your ordinary shares were held in an account at a bank, broker or other financial institution (we will refer

to those organizations collectively as a “broker”), then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and these

proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker. The broker holding your account is considered the shareholder of

record for purposes of voting at our Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker on how to

vote the shares in your account. As a beneficial owner, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, because you

are not a shareholder of record, if you want to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting, you must request and obtain

a valid proxy from your broker giving you that right, and must satisfy the Admission Policy described below.

Under the NYSE rules, the only matter on which your broker can vote your shares without receiving instructions from you is the

ratification of auditors. Your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote your shares on any other matter. We

encourage you to communicate your voting decisions to your broker before the Annual Meeting date to ensure that your vote

will be counted.

What does it mean to be a holder of CHESS Depositary Interests?

CHESS Depositary Interests are issued by Amcor through CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Limited (“CDN”), and traded on

the Australian Securities Exchange, or ASX. The depositary interests are frequently called “CDIs.” If you own Amcor CDIs, then

you are the beneficial owner of one Amcor ordinary share for every CDI you own. CDN or its custodian is considered the

shareholder of record for purposes of voting at our Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct CDN

or its custodian on how to vote the shares in your account. As a beneficial owner, you are invited to attend the Annual Meeting.

But because you are not a shareholder of record, if you want to vote your shares in person at the Annual Meeting, you must

request and obtain a valid proxy from CDN or its custodian giving you that right, and must satisfy the Admission Policy

described below.

You will receive a notice from Computershare allowing you to deliver your voting instructions over the internet. In addition, you

may request paper copies of the proxy statement and voting instructions by following the instructions on the notice provided by

Computershare.

Under the rules governing CDIs, CDN is not permitted to vote on your behalf on any matter to be considered at the Annual

Meeting unless you specifically instruct CDN how to vote. We encourage you to communicate your voting decisions to CDN

before the Annual Meeting date to ensure that your vote will be counted.

What is the required quorum to conduct business at the Annual Meeting?

A quorum will consist of one or more shareholders present in person or by proxy who hold or represent shares of at least a

majority of the total voting rights of all the voting power of the shares entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

How many votes are required to approve each proposal?

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at

the meeting and entitled to vote, is required to elect Directors and approve the ratification of PwC as our independent

registered public accounting firm and will be considered to have approved the advisory and non-binding Say-on-Pay Vote.

If the votes are equal on a proposal, the chair of the meeting has a casting vote.

How are votes counted?

Abstentions will be treated as shares that are present and entitled to vote. Accordingly, abstentions will have the effect of a

vote “Against” the particular matter. If a broker indicates on the proxy card that it does not have discretionary authority to vote

certain shares on a particular matter, it is referred to as a “broker non-vote.” Broker non-votes will be treated as shares that are

present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, but will not be considered as voted for the

purpose of determining the approval of the particular matter.
