2 Ampol Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting 2022

Chairman’s letter

Dear Shareholders,

On behalf of the Directors of Ampol Limited ACN 004 201 307 (Ampol or Company), I confirm that Ampol’s 2022 Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on Thursday, 12 May 2022 commencing at 10:00am (AEST) at The Mint, 10 Macquarie Street, Sydney. Shareholders will also be able to participate in the AGM online in real-time at https://web.lumiagm.com/390137210.

Ampol is looking forward to hosting a hybrid AGM this year to provide the Directors with an opportunity to engage with shareholders both in person, for those in Sydney and virtually for those who cannot attend in person. The hybrid format will also allow Ampol to move to a fully virtual AGM in the event restrictions on public gatherings are put in place at short notice or it is otherwise considered appropriate to do so in the circumstances.

The 2022 Annual General Meeting of Ampol Limited ACN 004 201 307 will be held on Thursday, 12 May 2022 commencing at 10:00am (AEST) at The Mint, 10 Macquarie Street, Sydney.

Shareholders can also participate in the 2022 Annual General Meeting online at: https://web.lumiagm.com/390137210.

While some shareholders will be able to attend the AGM physically, for the health and safety of all attendees, Ampol will be observing COVID-19 public health orders and restrictions, and any other government requirements that apply at the time.

Shareholders who plan to attend the AGM should take heed of government warnings and advice, and monitor Ampol’s website for any updates about the AGM, including with respect to the location.

As we have seen recently, the situation can change rapidly. The health of the Company’s shareholders, employees and other meeting attendees is of paramount importance. We ask that you do not attend the AGM if you feel unwell or have been in contact with someone who may have been affected by COVID-19. Ampol may implement screening procedures at admission, including temperature checks. If you have any symptoms of COVID-19, we encourage you to use rapid antigen testing or take a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test to confirm that you do not have COVID-19 prior to attending the AGM in person.

In the event that it is necessary for Ampol to provide updates in relation to how the AGM will be held or conducted, information will be provided on Ampol’s website and lodged with the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX).

A Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Statement is set out on the following pages.

There are five items on the 2022 AGM agenda: consideration of the accounts and the Remuneration Report, the re-election and election of directors, a grant of performance rights to the Managing Director & CEO and the reinsertion of the proportional takeover provisions contained in Clause 81 of the Company’s Constitution for a further period of three years commencing from the date of the AGM.

The Board, excluding the interested directors, recommend that members vote in favour of the proposed resolutions.

More information regarding online participation at the Ampol AGM is detailed in the AGM Online User Guide and is available at: www.ampol.com.au

Shareholders are encouraged to lodge directed proxy votes in advance of the AGM. If you wish to appoint a proxy, you can do so before 10:00am (AEST) on Tuesday, 10 May 2022. You can lodge your proxy online or in any of the other ways explained in the Notice of Meeting and Proxy Form. Shareholders are also encouraged to submit written questions in advance of the AGM, online, before 5:00 pm (AEST) on Thursday, 5 May 2022. Please note that individual responses will not be sent to shareholders.

Thank you for your continued support of Ampol. We look forward to the opportunity to engage with you at our 2022 AGM.

Yours sincerely

Steven Gregg Chairman

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions or make comments on the Reports.

The Remuneration Report outlines Ampol’s remuneration philosophy and framework and provides details of Key Management Personnel (KMP) remuneration received during the year.

Ampol’s remuneration framework is designed to support the delivery of strong shareholder returns. The remuneration framework and outcomes are underpinned by a guiding philosophy of four key elements:

  • Incentives are dependent upon achieving threshold financial and non-financial performance objectives that are aligned with shareholders’ interests;

  • Performance processes enable individual connection to Ampol’s strategy and values and drive differentiated reward outcomes;

  • Total reward offerings are set at competitive levels and allow Ampol to attract and retain quality talent; and

  • Remuneration is reviewed to understand and address any gender-based pay differences.

The vote on this resolution is non-binding and advisory only and does not bind the Board or the Company. However, Ampol values shareholder feedback and the Board will take the outcome of the vote into account when considering future remuneration policies.

Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions on the Remuneration Report at the AGM.

By order of the Board.

Item 4 – Grant of 2022 Performance Rights to the MD & CEO

Background

The long-term incentive (LTI) arrangements operate through the Ampol Limited Equity Incentive Plan (Plan), under which eligible executives may receive grants of Performance Rights to acquire shares in the Company, subject to meeting certain performance and other conditions.

Performance Rights are proposed to be granted because they provide immediate share price exposure without conferring the full benefits of share ownership prior to vesting, such as voting and dividend entitlements.

The Performance Rights will be tested and may vest at the end of a three-year performance period based on the following performance conditions:

  • (a) relative total shareholder return against S&P/ASX 100 companies; and

  • (b) return on capital employed.

Upon vesting, one Restricted Share will be awarded for each vested Performance Right. Restricted Shares will be subject to dealing restrictions for a further period of 12 months. Alternatively, the Company may decide to settle vested Performance Rights in cash.

Further details of the 2022 LTI are set out below.

Approval sought

Ampol considers it appropriate for shareholders to vote on the MD & CEO’s participation in the 2022 LTI Plan, even though shareholder approval is not required under the ASX Listing Rules, because any shares received following vesting will be purchased on-market.

Accordingly, shareholders are asked to approve the grant of 93,964 Performance Rights to Matthew Halliday, MD & CEO, under the Plan, on the terms and conditions set out below.

If approval is not obtained from shareholders, the Board will consider alternative arrangements to appropriately remunerate and incentivise the MD & CEO.

Explanatory Statement continued

Item 4 – Key terms of the 2022 LTI Performance Rights

An overview of the key terms of the proposed grant of Performance Rights to the MD & CEO under the 2022 LTI is set out below.

Term Details
Number of
Performance
Rights
Subject to shareholder approval, the MD & CEO will be granted 93,964 Performance Rights under
the Plan.
The number of Performance Rights to be granted has been calculated by dividing the MD & CEO’s
maximum 2022 LTI Opportunity (being 150% of his 2022 base salary of $1,650,000 by the
volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s ordinary shares (Shares) for 20 trading
days up to 1 January 2022 (being the first day of the Performance Period), valued through the Black
Scholes methodology to recognise that the Performance Rights have no rights to receive dividends
(being $26.34).
Date of grant If shareholder approval is obtained, the Performance Rights will be granted to the MD & CEO as soon as
practicable after the AGM, but in any event, within 12 months of the AGM.
Performance
Rights
Each Performance Right is an entitlement to receive one Restricted Share (or a cash payment of
equivalent value), subject to satisfaction of the applicable performance conditions over the Performance
Period and the cessation of employment rules outlined further below.
Performance Rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights, or in general, a right to participate in
other corporate actions such as bonus issues.
Performance Rights are not transferable (except in limited circumstances or with the consent of
the Board).
Restricted Shares Restricted Shares may not be sold or otherwise dealt with, until the end of the 12 month
restricted period.
Restricted Shares are not transferable (except in limited circumstances or with the consent of
the Board).
Performance
conditions and
weightings
Vesting of Performance Rights is subject to the following performance conditions:
‒ 50% of the Performance Rights are subject to a relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) measure,
reflecting Shareholder experience; and
‒ 50% of the Performance Rights are subject to a ROCE measure, reflecting the Company’s return
on capital.
Performance
conditions and
weightings
(1) Relative TSR (50%)
Vesting of 50% of the Performance Rights will be subject to the Company’s Relative TSR
performance measure.
Relative TSR measures a return on an investment in Shares over the Performance Period (defined
below), relative to companies that comprise Standard & Poor’s S&P/ASX 100 index at the
commencement of the Performance Period. The return is based on an investor’s return, defined as
the percentage difference between the initial amount invested in Shares and the final value of those
Shares at the end date, assuming dividends were reinvested. Any effects from Share price volatility on
a particular day at the beginning or end of the Performance Period are smoothed out by calculating the
average Share price over a reasonable time period determined by the Board.

The Board has discretion to adjust the comparator group to take into account events including, but not
limited to, takeovers, mergers or de-mergers that might occur during the Performance Period.
The Board retains discretion to adjust the TSR measure or vesting schedule in exceptional circumstances,
including matters outside of management’s influence, to ensure that a participant is neither
advantaged nor disadvantaged by matters that may materially affect achievement of the TSR
performance measure.

Performance
conditions and

(continued)
(2) ROCE (50%)
Vesting of the other 50% of the Performance Rights will be subject to a ROCE performance measure.
ROCE will be measured in accordance with the following formula:
RCOP EBIT / Average Capital Employed
where Capital Employed = Total Equity + Net Debt
ROCE will be calculated by using the average RCOP EBIT and the average capital employed over the
3-year performance period.
When testing the ROCE targets, the Board has full discretion in relation to its calculations and may
include or exclude items, including to appropriately reflect the impact of corporate actions such as
mergers and acquisitions or major projects which, while in shareholders’ long-term interests, may
adversely impact near term ROCE.

The Board retains discretion to alter the ROCE measure or vesting schedule in exceptional circumstances,
including matters outside of management’s influence, to ensure there is no material advantage or
disadvantage that would materially affect achievement of the ROCE performance measure.
The Board considers ROCE targets as commercially sensitive as disclosure could potentially indicate
the company’s margins. Therefore, those targets will not be disclosed during the performance period.
The Board will set out how Ampol has performed against ROCE performance measures in the 2024
Remuneration Report.
Performance
period
The Relative TSR and ROCE performance measures outlined above will be tested over a three-year
Performance Period (from 1 January 2022 to 31 December 2024).
Any Performance Rights that do not vest following testing will lapse.
Allocation of
Shares upon
vesting
Following determination of the extent to which the performance conditions have been satisfied (at the
end of the three-year Performance Period), vested Performance Rights will be automatically exercised,
and one Restricted Share will be allocated for each vested Performance Right that is exercised (unless
the Board decides to settle any vested Performance Rights in cash).
Restricted Shares may not be sold or otherwise dealt with for a period of 12 months from the date of
allocation.
The Company’s obligation to allocate Restricted Shares on vesting and automatic exercise will be
satisfied using shares that have been purchased on-market.
Price payable
for securities
No amount is payable in respect of the grant of Performance Rights, nor in respect of any Restricted
Shares allocated following vesting of the Performance Rights.

Board, the lapse will be deemed to have taken effect on the cessation date.
Malus and
Clawback
The Plan provides the Board with the ability to reduce, vary or claw back the MD & CEO’s Performance
Rights, Restricted Shares and Shares in circumstances where the Board considers that the MD & CEO
received inappropriate or unfair benefits in connection with his 2022 LTI or any other remuneration.
These circumstances may include fraud, dishonesty, gross misconduct, material misstatement of
accounts or risk failures.
Minimum
shareholding
A minimum shareholding requirement applies to the MD & CEO of 100% of his fixed annual
remuneration. For the MD & CEO, the minimum shareholding is to be obtained by January 2026.
Other information There is no loan scheme in relation to the grant of Performance Rights under the Plan.
Mr Halliday is the only Director currently entitled to participate in the Plan. Mr Halliday has previously
received 202,125 Performance Rights as long-term incentives under the Plan at no cost as part of his
remuneration from Ampol.
The Board may amend or waive terms under the Plan, subject to the ASX Listing Rules. Subject to the
Listing Rules, the Board may make such adjustments to rights awarded under the Plan as the Board
considers appropriate in order to minimise or eliminate any material advantage or disadvantage to
Mr Halliday resulting from a corporate action such as a capital raising or capital reconstruction.

The MD & CEO’s total remuneration package for 2022

The total remuneration package for 2022 is set out below.

Remuneration element Opportunity
Fixed remuneration (base salary plus superannuation) $1,650,000 base salary plus superannuation at 10%.
Short-term incentive (STI) Maximum opportunity is 105% of base salary where stretch
performance is achieved, delivered as a $1,039,500 (60%)
cash component plus superannuation contribution of 10.0%,
and $693,000 (40%) deferred in restricted shares for
two years.
Long-term incentive (LTI) – 2022 grant Maximum opportunity is 150% of base salary, allocated as
Performance Rights.

9

Commencing from 2022, climate measures will form a key input in determining STI outcomes. A 10% weighting to Climate measures will be added to the Ampol Scorecard through a reweighting of both Safety and Brand measures. There are no other anticipated changes to STIs for 2022.

At Ampol, sustainability has long been an integral part of our culture and strategy to deliver long-term value for our shareholders, customers and the community. Our approach involves making sustainability core to decision making at all levels in our business and in a way that balances environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects with broader strategic objectives.

Ampol is committed to being an organisation that reduces its operational carbon footprint as well as finding and developing new energy solutions that can meet our customers’ needs as they evolve. These dual objectives are intrinsic to our longevity and delivering sustained value to our stakeholders.

Ampol’s climate measures will focus on decarbonisation across Scope, 1, 2 and 3 emissions by measuring progress against annual climate performance. Performance will be determined by assessing progress made towards:

  • 2025 Scope 1 and 2 emissions targets through the delivery of abatement projects; and

  • Scope 3 emissions intensity reduction goals through the delivery of targeted e-mobility, hydrogen and biofuels initiatives.

Further information regarding the MD & CEO’s executive remuneration arrangements is detailed in the 2021 Annual Report.

Voting exclusion

In accordance with the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the Company will disregard any votes cast:

  • In favour of this resolution by or on behalf of Mr Halliday and any associate, regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast; or

  • As a proxy by a member of the KMP at the date of the Meeting, or that KMP’s closely related party,

unless the vote is cast:

  • As proxy or attorney for a person entitled to vote on the resolution in accordance with their directions of how to vote as set out in the Proxy Form;

  • As proxy for a person entitled to vote on the resolution by the Chairman pursuant to an express authorisation in the Proxy Form to vote as the Chairman decides; or

  • By a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and

  • the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

The Board (other than the MD & CEO who abstains from making a recommendation because of his interest in the resolution) unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 4.

The Chairman of the AGM intends to vote all available proxies in favour of resolution 4.

Item 5 – Reinsertion of Proportional Takeover Provisions

Reinsertion of proportional takeover provisions

Provisions dealing with proportional takeover bids for Ampol shares in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) were incorporated into the Company’s constitution following shareholder approval at the Company’s 2019 Annual General Meeting held on 9 May 2019. The provisions, set out in Clause 81 of the Constitution, are designed to assist shareholders to receive proper value for their shares if a proportional takeover bid is made for the Company.

Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), these provisions must be renewed every three years, or they will cease to have effect. These provisions will expire after 9 May 2022.

Accordingly, a special resolution is being put to shareholders to re-insert the proportional takeover provisions into the Company’s constitution as Clause 81 in the same form as those approved at the 2019 Annual General Meeting.

The Company constitution (including Clause 81 for reinsertion) can be accessed at: https://www.ampol.com.au/aboutampol/investor-centre/corporate-governance.

If approved by shareholders at this meeting, Clause 81 will operate for three years from the date of the meeting (i.e. until 12 May 2025), unless earlier reviewed.

What is a proportional takeover bid?

A proportional takeover bid is a takeover offer made to all shareholders for the acquisition of their shares; however, the offer made to each shareholder is only for a specified proportion of that shareholder’s shares (and that proportion is the same for all shareholders). Accordingly, if a shareholder accepts in full the offer under a proportional takeover bid, the shareholder will dispose of the specified portion of their shares in the Company and retain the balance of the shares.

Effect of the proportional takeover approval provision

In the event that a proportional takeover offer is made to shareholders of the Company, the existence of Clause 81 requires the Board of the Company to convene a meeting of shareholders to vote on a resolution to approve the proportional takeover offer. Under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), the approving resolution must be passed at least 14 days before the offer under the proportional takeover bid closes.

To be passed, the resolution must be approved by a majority of votes at the meeting, excluding votes by the bidder and its associates. However, the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) also provides that, if no resolution to approve the bid has been voted on in accordance with the time required by relevant provisions of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), then a resolution to approve the proportional takeover bid will be deemed to have been passed.

10 Ampol Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting 2022

Explanatory Statement continued

If the resolution to approve the proportional takeover bid is passed or deemed to have been passed, the transfer of shares resulting from acceptance of an offer under that bid will be permitted, and the transfers registered, subject to the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) and the Constitution of the Company.

If the resolution is rejected, the registration of any transfer of shares resulting from an offer under the proportional takeover bid will be prohibited, and the bid deemed to be withdrawn.

Clause 81 does not apply to full takeover bids.

The Company’s Directors do not consider that there are any advantages or disadvantages specific to the Directors in relation to Clause 81. The Board will continue to remain free to make a recommendation to shareholders as to whether a proportional takeover bid should be accepted.

Present acquisition proposals

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

Reasons for proposing the resolution

In the Board’s view, the relevant shareholders should have the opportunity to vote on a proposed proportional takeover bid.

A proportional takeover bid for the Company may enable control of the Company to be acquired by a party holding less than a majority interest. As a result, the relevant shareholders may not have the opportunity to dispose of all their shares and risk being part of a minority interest in the Company or suffering loss if the takeover bid causes a decrease in the market price of the shares or makes the shares less attractive and, accordingly, more difficult to sell. Clause 81 would only permit this to occur with the approval of a majority of the relevant shareholders.

The Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of resolution 5.

The Chairman of the AGM intends to vote all available proxies in favour of resolution 5.

Potential advantages and disadvantages

For relevant shareholders, the potential advantages of Clause 81 have been, and continue to be, that it will provide them with the opportunity to consider and discuss a proportional takeover bid in a meeting called specifically for that purpose, and vote on whether a proportional takeover bid should be approved. This has afforded and continues to afford the relevant shareholders an opportunity to have a say in the future ownership and control of the Company and help the shareholders avoid being locked into a minority. The Board believes that this will encourage any proportional takeover bid to be structured so as to be attractive to at least a majority of relevant shareholders. It may also discourage the making of a proportional takeover bid that may be considered opportunistic.

Finally, knowing the view of the majority of the relevant shareholders may help each individual shareholder to assess the likely outcome of the proportional takeover bid and decide whether or not to accept an offer under the bid.

On the other hand, the potential disadvantage for the relevant shareholders arising from Clause 81 has been, and continues to be, that proportional takeover bids may be discouraged by the further procedural steps that Clause 81 will necessitate and, accordingly, may reduce the opportunities which shareholders may have to sell all or some of their shares at a premium to persons seeking control of the Company and may reduce any takeover speculation element in the Company’s share price. Clause 81 may also be considered an additional restriction on the ability of individual shareholders to deal freely in their shares.

Appointment of a Second Proxy

You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting the company’s securities registry or you may copy this form.
