After nine years on our board, and in accordance with AMP’s board tenure guidelines, Nora has announced her intention to retire as a director of AMP. Nora’s retirement will take effect at the end of the AGM. Nora has not only been part of the AMP Limited Board but has also served as a non-executive director of AMP Bank and AMP Capital Holdings. Her extensive knowledge, sound judgement and governance expertise have proved invaluable over the many years of her involvement. We greatly appreciate the contribution she has made to our company.

How to vote

As a shareholder, you can vote on the items of business by:

Voting at the meeting

The board has determined that you will be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting if you are a registered shareholder of AMP at 7.00pm (AEST) on Tuesday 7 May 2013.

Appointing a proxy

A shareholder who is entitled to attend and vote at the meeting may appoint a proxy to attend and vote at the meeting on their behalf. A proxy does not need to be a shareholder of AMP.

If a shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes at the meeting, the shareholder may appoint two proxies and may specify the percentage or number of votes each proxy can exercise. If the proxy form does not specify the percentage or number of the shareholder’s votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the shareholder’s votes on a poll. Fractions will be disregarded.

To appoint a proxy, your completed proxy form (and any necessary supporting documents) must be received by AMP no later than 10.00am (AEST) on Tuesday 7 May 2013.

Other KMP as proxy

If you appoint a director (other than the chairman of the meeting) or another member of the KMP (or a closely related party of any such director or member) as your proxy, you should direct them how to vote on items 3 and 4 by marking the appropriate box. If you do not do so, your proxy will not be able to vote on your behalf on items 3 and 4.

By order of the board.

Item 2: Re-election and election of directors

Who is standing for re-election?

Peter Mason, the Chairman and a Non-executive Director, was first elected to the board by shareholders at the AGM in 2004 and was last re-elected in 2010. The ninth anniversary of his first election will occur on 20 May 2013. Under AMP’s constitution, this means that Peter Mason needs to be re-elected at the 2013 AGM and at every subsequent AGM if he is to continue in office after the relevant AGM. Peter Mason is eligible to be re-elected as a director of AMP and intends to offer himself for re-election. A profile of Peter Mason is shown below. He is considered by the board to be independent and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the independent exercise of his judgement.

Peter Mason AM

BCom (Hons), MBA, Hon.DBus (UNSW), FAICD. Age 66 Peter was appointed to the AMP Limited Board in October 2003 and assumed the role of Chairman in September 2005. He is a member of the People and Remuneration Committee and the Nomination Committee.

  • Director of the University of New South Wales Foundation

  • Chairman of the UBS Australia Foundation Pty Limited

  • Director of Taylors Wines Pty Limited

  • Chairman of the Centre for International Finance and Regulation

Board recommendation

During 2012, the chairman of the Nomination Committee led a review of the chairman’s performance by holding one-on-one meetings with the other directors. Following that review, the directors (with Peter Mason abstaining) unanimously recommend the re-election of Peter Mason.

Who is standing for election?

Simon McKeon is a Non-executive Director who was appointed to the board in March 2013 – that is since the last AGM. Simon has over 30 years experience in the financial services industry and as a corporate lawyer, making him a valuable addition to the AMP Limited Board.

Under AMP’s constitution, if a director is appointed by the board, that director will cease to hold office at the next AGM unless elected at the meeting. Simon McKeon is eligible to be elected as a director of AMP and intends to offer himself for election. A profile of Simon McKeon is shown below. The board has considered a number of pre-existing commercial and advisory arrangements between the AMP group and Macquarie Group, and is of the view that these relationships are not material. Therefore, Simon McKeon is considered by the board to be independent and free from any business or other relationship that could materially interfere with, or could reasonably be perceived to materially interfere with, the independent exercise of his judgement.

Simon McKeon AO

Explanatory notes continued

Board recommendation

During 2012, the Nomination Committee conducted a search for a new director of AMP Limited and recommended Simon’s appointment to the AMP Limited Board. The board undertook a thorough review, determined that Simon McKeon is eligible to hold the office of director and resolved to appoint him a director in March 2013. The directors unanimously recommend the election of Simon McKeon.

Item 3: Adoption of remuneration report

The remuneration report appears on pages 11 to 28 of the AMP 2012 annual report, which is available at amp.com.au/2012annualreport

During this item, shareholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions about, and make comments on, the remuneration report.

Shareholders will be asked to vote on a resolution to adopt the remuneration report at the meeting. The vote on the resolution will be advisory only and will not bind the directors or AMP. However, under the Corporations Act, if 25 per cent or more of the votes cast on the resolution at the meeting are against adoption of the remuneration report, then:

  • if comments are made on the remuneration report at the meeting, AMP’s 2013 remuneration report will be required to include an explanation of the board’s proposed action in response or, if no action is proposed, the board’s reasons for this, and

  • if, at next year’s AGM, at least 25 per cent of the votes cast on the resolution for adoption of the 2013 remuneration report are against it, AMP will be required to put to shareholders a resolution proposing that an extraordinary general meeting (EGM) be called to consider the election of directors (spill resolution). If the spill resolution is passed (ie more than 50 per cent of the votes cast are in favour of it), all of the directors (other than the managing director) will cease to hold office at the subsequent EGM, unless re-elected at that meeting.

The board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing the remuneration policy for directors and executives in the future.

If you intend to appoint a proxy to vote on your behalf on the resolution for adoption of the remuneration report, please read the information on page seven under the heading Chairman as proxy.

Board recommendation

The remuneration report forms part of the directors’ report, which was approved in accordance with a unanimous resolution of the board. Each director recommends shareholders vote in favour of adopting the remuneration report.

Item 4: Approval of managing director’s long-term incentive for 2013

Under his employment agreement with AMP, the remuneration of AMP’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Craig Dunn, consists of:

  • fixed remuneration

  • short-term incentives (STI)

  • long-term incentives (LTI) payable in performance rights (which are rights to receive shares or a cash equivalent on vesting of the rights).

Approximately 70 per cent of the managing director’s remuneration (that is both STI and LTI) for 2013 is ‘at risk’. Vesting of the managing director’s 2013 LTI award will generally be subject to AMP meeting performance hurdles determined by the board and designed to align company and managing director interests with those of shareholders. Details of the proposed performance hurdles are provided on page 11.

As a senior executive, Craig Dunn has participated in AMP’s LTI since 2000 and, in his capacity as managing director, since 2008.

10 AMP 2013 notice of meeting

Why is shareholder approval being sought?

As any LTI shares for which Craig Dunn may become eligible will be bought on-market, AMP is not required by law to seek shareholder approval. However, in the interests of transparency and good governance, AMP believes it is appropriate to do so. For these reasons, AMP has sought shareholder approval each year since the 2008 AGM for grants of Craig Dunn’s annual LTI awards. Shareholders gave their approval at those AGMs.

The board is again seeking shareholder approval at this year’s AGM for Craig Dunn’s 2013 LTI grant.

What is the managing director’s proposed LTI for 2013?

The board is proposing that AMP grant Craig Dunn performance rights with a fair value of 125 per cent of his fixed remuneration as his LTI for 2013 (2013 grant). Given that Craig Dunn’s fixed remuneration for 2013 is $1,750,000, this equates to a grant of performance rights with a value of $2,187,500 at the time of the grant.

What are performance rights?

Each performance right will give Craig Dunn the right to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in AMP if the applicable performance hurdle described below is met at the end of the performance period (or the right otherwise vests). However, the board may, at its discretion, decide to satisfy performance rights in the 2013 grant by AMP making a cash payment to Craig Dunn of an amount equivalent in value to the number of shares to which he would otherwise be entitled on vesting of the rights.

Performance rights are granted at no cost to the recipient. They do not carry dividend or voting rights or the right to participate in new issues of shares (such as any rights or bonus issues).

If there is a capital reconstruction or other corporate action by AMP (such as a rights or bonus issue), the board may make any adjustments it considers appropriate to the terms of performance rights in order to minimise or eliminate any material advantage or disadvantage to the participant, and having regard to the ASX Listing Rules. These may include adjustments to the number of performance rights or the number of shares to which the participant is entitled on vesting of the performance rights.

How did the board determine the LTI arrangements?

In determining these LTI arrangements, the directors took into account the nature of the position, the context of the current market, the function and purpose of the long-term incentive component of AMP’s remuneration strategy and other components of Craig Dunn’s remuneration.

What performance hurdles will apply to the performance rights?

The performance rights will be subject to performance hurdles determined by the board. The board has determined that vesting of the performance rights comprising Craig Dunn’s LTI award for 2013 will be based on two performance hurdles. In particular, 50 per cent of the LTI award value (the total shareholder return or TSR tranche) will be comprised of performance rights subject to a performance hurdle based on the relative TSR performance of AMP over a three-year performance period (from 7 March 2013–6 March 2016). The remaining 50 per cent of the LTI award value (the return on equity or RoE tranche) will be comprised of performance rights subject to a performance hurdle based on AMP’s RoE performance at the end of the three financial years ending on 31 December 2015.

TSR tranche

Vesting of these performance rights will be based on the TSR performance of AMP over the applicable three-year performance period relative to that of the entities in the market comparator group (being the top 50 industrial companies in the S&P/ASX 100 Index – based on market capitalisation rank at the start of the performance period). In determining this comparator group, all entities other than those in the global industry classification standard (GICS) energy sector and GICS metals and mining industry are classified as industrial companies. Broadly, TSR measures the percentage return to a shareholder over the relevant performance period in terms of changes in the market value of shares plus the value of any dividends paid and capital returns on the shares.

11

Explanatory notes continued

For the 2013 grant, the number of performance rights in the TSR tranche that vest and are converted into AMP shares at the end of the applicable performance period will be determined in accordance with the following vesting schedule:

==> picture [342 x 121] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

TSR performance Percentage of performance rights
in the TSR tranche to vest
AMP’s TSR ranking below the 50th percentile 0%
of the market comparator group
AMP’s TSR ranking at the 50th percentile 50%

AMP’s TSR ranking between the 50th and 50% plus 2% for each additional percentile
75th percentile of the market comparator group (rounded to the nearest whole percentile)
AMP’s TSR ranking in at least the 75th percentile 100%
of the market comparator group
----- End of picture text -----

The applicable three-year performance period for the TSR tranche is 7 March 2013–6 March 2016.

RoE tranche

Vesting of these performance rights will be based on AMP’s RoE performance for the year ending 31 December 2015. Prior to the 2013 grant being awarded, the board will determine threshold and maximum RoE performance targets (expressed as percentage outcomes) to be achieved for the year ending 31 December 2015. The number of performance rights in the RoE tranche that vest and are converted into AMP shares at the end of this period will be determined in accordance with the following vesting schedule:

==> picture [342 x 105] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

RoE performance Percentage of performance rights
in the RoE tranche to vest
RoE below threshold performance target 0%

performance targets
RoE equal to or greater than maximum 100%
performance target
----- End of picture text -----

Shareholders will be advised of the vesting outcomes for the 2013 LTI award in the annual report for the year ending 31 December 2016.

How many performance rights will be granted to the managing director for 2013?

The number of performance rights in the 2013 grant is based on a board determination of the value of the LTI the managing director should receive (namely, 125 per cent of his annual fixed remuneration). As outlined below, performance rights in the 2013 grant will be divided into two tranches, one subject to a TSR-based performance hurdle and the other subject to an RoE-based performance hurdle. To determine the number of performance rights to be granted in the respective tranches, the total value of the LTI award will be divided in two. Half of the LTI award value will then be divided by the fair value of a performance right subject to a TSR-based performance hurdle, and the other half of the LTI award value will be divided by the fair value of a performance right subject to an RoE-based performance hurdle. The relevant fair value will be determined based on a valuation prepared by an independent external consultant, and as further described on the following page.

12 AMP 2013 notice of meeting

The formula used to calculate the total number of performance rights to be allocated to the managing director as his LTI for 2013 is set out below.

N = (125% x $1,750,000)/2 + (125% x $1,750,000)/2

FV TSR tranche FV RoE tranche

where:

N is the number of performance rights to be allocated to the managing director. If N is a fractional number, it will be rounded up to the nearest whole number of performance rights.

125% is the actual percentage of the managing director’s annual fixed remuneration determined by the board to be applicable for the managing director’s LTI for 2013.

$1,750,000 is the annual fixed remuneration of the managing director for 2013.

FV TSR tranche means the fair value, as at 10 May 2013 (or such other date determined by the board) (the valuation date), of a performance right that is subject to a TSR-based performance hurdle as outlined on page 11. This fair value will be based on the average closing share price of AMP shares during the 10-day period up to and including the valuation date, discounted for the possibility that the performance hurdle applicable to the grant may not be met and to reflect the estimated value of dividends foregone during the vesting period.

FV RoE tranche means the fair value, as at the valuation date, of a performance right that is subject to an RoE-based performance hurdle as outlined on page 12. This will be based on the average closing share price of AMP shares during the 10-day period up to and including the valuation date, discounted for the possibility that the performance hurdle applicable to the grant may not be met and to reflect the estimated value of dividends foregone during the vesting period.

For the purposes of the RoE hurdle, RoE will be calculated as follows (and then expressed as a percentage):

Underlying profit less dividends RoE = paid on any preference shares

Average AMP shareholder equity (book value)

where:

Underlying profit is the underlying profit for the year ending 31 December 2015, as reported in AMP’s annual report for that year.

Average AMP shareholder equity (book value) will be calculated by adding AMP shareholder equity as at 31 December 2014 and AMP shareholder equity at the end of each month over 2015, but excluding any equity attributable to any preference shareholders, and dividing the resulting number by 13. For this purpose AMP shareholder equity is the total equity of shareholders of AMP Limited, adjusted for accounting mismatch items and cash flow hedge reserves (as determined in accordance with the Australian Accounting Standards). AMP shareholder equity as at the end of each financial year is disclosed in the capital management note to its financial statements for that year.

Dividends paid on, and equity relating to, any preference shares will be excluded from the measure, to focus on returns to retail shareholders. AMP does not currently have any preference shares on issue.

When will performance rights be granted to the managing director?

If shareholders approve the proposed resolution in item 4 at the 2013 AGM, the 2013 grant will be made in June 2013.

Can the board change the terms and conditions of performance rights?

The board may vary or waive any of the terms and conditions of performance rights in the 2013 grant (including the performance hurdles), but may not do so in a way that reduces the participant’s rights (except in limited circumstances or with the participant’s consent). Additionally, the board may waive, amend or replace the performance hurdles for the 2013 grant if the board determines that the original performance hurdles are no longer appropriate or applicable, provided that the board is satisfied that the interests of the participant are not materially prejudiced or advantaged relative to the position reasonably anticipated at the time of the grant.

Explanatory notes continued

In some limited circumstances (such as a takeover bid being made for AMP or other change in control event occurring in relation to AMP), the board will have the discretion to determine whether some or all of the performance rights held by Craig Dunn will vest, remain on foot or lapse, having regard to all relevant circumstances.

What will happen to the performance rights if the managing director leaves AMP before the end of the performance period?

If Craig Dunn gives notice of resignation to AMP, all unvested performance rights that have a performance period expiring on or after the end of his full contractual notice period will lapse, unless the board determines otherwise. All performance rights will lapse if Craig Dunn’s employment is terminated by AMP for cause or inadequate performance. In other cases, including termination by AMP on notice, termination by agreement, death, disability, retirement and redundancy, Craig Dunn’s performance rights will be retained subject to the original performance hurdles and performance periods. However, if AMP terminates Craig Dunn’s employment by giving notice or due to illness, or his employment is terminated due to death, during the 12-month period starting on 7 March 2013 (LTI grant year), the number of performance rights that are retained will be reduced pro rata so that the number of retained performance rights reflects the proportion of the LTI grant year for which he remained employed.

What will happen at the end of the performance period?

Under the LTI plan, if some or all of the performance rights in the 2013 grant satisfy the performance hurdles at the end of the applicable performance period and therefore vest, AMP will allocate shares to Craig Dunn (at no cost to him) equal to the number of performance rights that vest, unless the board decides to pay him a cash equivalent in lieu of an allocation of shares. Any cash equivalent would be determined by multiplying an average market price of AMP shares at the relevant time by the number of shares to which he would otherwise be entitled on vesting.

If the performance hurdles are not achieved for some or all of the performance rights granted to Craig Dunn, those performance rights will lapse immediately without re-testing of the performance hurdles.

Shares delivered to Craig Dunn on vesting of any performance rights will be bought on-market and, therefore, will not dilute existing AMP shareholdings.

Will the performance rights lapse in any other circumstances?

The board may determine that any unvested performance rights granted as part of Craig Dunn’s 2013 LTI award (or shares allocated on vesting of those rights) will lapse or be forfeited in certain circumstances. For example, the board may decide that Craig Dunn’s unvested performance rights should lapse where it considers it appropriate to do so to protect the financial soundness of AMP.

What will happen if shareholders do not approve the 2013 grant?

To compensate Craig Dunn for the remuneration he would forego if shareholder approval of his LTI is not given, Craig Dunn is entitled, under his employment agreement, to receive a cash payment instead of performance rights in these circumstances. Craig Dunn will only be entitled to receive a cash payment if the performance hurdles are satisfied or the rights would otherwise have vested.

For the 2013 grant, any such cash amount will be equivalent to the value the grant would have had at vesting if it had been approved by shareholders.

Board recommendation

In the non-executive directors’ view, it is in the best interests of shareholders to approve the share-based 2013 LTI grant to the managing director because vesting of the performance rights will be subject to performance hurdles that appropriately align the managing director’s ‘at risk’ remuneration with shareholder returns. Your directors (with the Managing Director, Craig Dunn, abstaining) therefore recommend shareholders approve the 2013 grant and the managing director’s continuing participation in the LTI plan.

As Craig Dunn has a personal interest in the resolution proposed in item 4 of the notice, he abstained from the board decision to make a recommendation as to how shareholders should vote on this resolution.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the for, against or abstain box for each item of business.
