PROXIES

Where more than one proxy is appointed, both proxies will be entitled to vote on a poll (subject to any voting exclusion). Each proxy should be appointed to represent a specified percentage or specified number of the shareholder’s voting rights. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half the votes.

Fractions of votes will be disregarded.

If you sign and return a Proxy Form and do not nominate a person to act as your proxy, the Chair will be appointed as your proxy by default.

2021 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

APPOINTMENT OF THE CHAIR OR OTHER KMP AS YOUR PROXY

Due to the voting exclusions referred to earlier in relation to Item 3 (Remuneration Report), if you intend to appoint a member of the KMP or their Closely Related Parties, other than the Chair , as your proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy on how to vote on Item 3 (Remuneration Report) by marking ‘For’, ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’ opposite these resolutions on the Proxy Form. If you do not direct a proxy how to vote on Item 3 (Remuneration Report), they will not be able to vote as an undirected proxy and your vote will not be counted. This does not apply to the Chair, who can vote undirected proxies (see below).

HOW THE CHAIR WILL VOTE UNDIRECTED PROXIES

The Chair intends to vote any undirected proxy in favour of all resolutions including Item 3 (Remuneration Report).

You should note that if you appoint the Chair as your proxy, or the Chair is appointed as your proxy by default, and the Proxy Form does not specify whether to vote ‘For’, ‘Against’ or ‘Abstain’, this will be taken as a direction and authorisation to the Chair to vote in accordance with his stated voting intention, which is to vote in favour of all resolutions including Item 3 (Remuneration Report), even if the resolution is connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of the KMP.

Shareholders can always appoint the Chair as their proxy and direct him to cast votes contrary to the Chair’s stated voting intention or to abstain from voting on a resolution.

If you appoint the Chair as your proxy but do not wish him to vote in favour of Item 3 (Remuneration Report), it is important for you to complete the voting directions in respect of Item 3 on the Proxy Form.

A Proxy Form accompanies this Notice of Meeting.

Proxy Forms may be lodged as follows:

Evidence of the appointment must be brought to the Annual General Meeting together with any authority under which it is signed. A pro-forma ‘Appointment of Corporate Representative’ may be obtained from the Company’s Share Registry, Link Market Services Limited.

VOTING ENTITLEMENTS

Pursuant to Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Directors of the Company have determined that the shareholding of each shareholder for the purposes of ascertaining the voting entitlements for the Annual General Meeting will be as it appears in the Share Register at 7:00pm (AEST) on Tuesday, 4 May 2021.

VOTING BY POLL

Voting will be conducted by way of a poll. Shareholders will have one vote for every share held by them (subject to any voting exclusions set out in this Notice of Meeting).

If shares are jointly held, only one of the shareholders can vote. If more than one joint shareholder votes, only the vote of the shareholder whose name appears first on the Share Register will be counted.

TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES

The Chairman has discretion as to whether and how the AGM should proceed if a technical difficulty arises. The Chairman will consider the nature of the technical difficulty, the number of shareholders impacted and the extent to which participation is affected. The Chairman may elect to continue with the AGM even if a technical difficulty arises, so shareholders are encouraged to appoint a proxy ahead of the meeting even if they plan to attend the AGM.

Each of these written questions, if any, will be answered by the auditor at the Annual General Meeting, provided the question is relevant to:

A list of the written questions to be answered by the auditor at the Annual General Meeting, if any, will be prepared by the auditor and made available at the start of the Annual General Meeting.

Biography details of Hamish McLennan are as follows:

Previous roles Hamish has held include Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ten Network Holdings from 2013 to 2015, Executive Vice President for News Corporation in Sydney and New York from 2012 and 2013 and Global Chairman and CEO of Young & Rubicam, a division of WPP, the world’s largest communications services group from 2006 to 2011.

Other Directorships and offices

Director of REA Group Ltd (Chairman), Rugby Australia Limited (Chairman), Magellan Financial Group Limited (Deputy Chairman), Claim Central Consolidated Pty Ltd, Scientific Games Corporation (US company) and Garvan Institute of Medical Research (Fundraising Board).

ITEM 3 — REMUNERATION REPORT (NON-BINDING RESOLUTION)

The Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2020 appears on pages 30 to 44 of the 2020 Annual Report.

The Remuneration Report sets out the policy for the remuneration of the Directors and other KMP of the Company and the consolidated entity.

As noted in the Remuneration Report at page 30, HT&E’s response to COVID-19 included Directors and other KMP foregoing all incentive payments in respect of 2020 and taking a 20% pay reduction for May to September 2020. During this time, the KMP could use accrued annual leave to offset the 20% pay reduction, maintaining total fixed remuneration while generating immediate cost savings for the Company.

The Corporations Act requires that a resolution be put to the vote that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The Corporations Act expressly provides that the vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Notwithstanding the advisory status of the vote on the Remuneration Report, the Directors will take the outcome of the vote into account when considering the Company’s remuneration policy.

Shareholders attending the Annual General Meeting will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Item 3.

Hamish McLennan

Hamish McLennan was appointed a non-executive Director (and Chairman) of the Company on 30 October 2018. He was last re-elected at the 2019 Annual General Meeting and is eligible for re-election.
