4. Ratification of Issues of Shares

Resolutions
4 and 5
Ratification of issues of shares
Explanation The Company seeks shareholder ratification pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.4 for
previous issues of securities made by the Company during the last 12 months under
the Company’s capacity to issue shares under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, which provides
that a company must not, subject to specified exceptions under ASX Listing Rule
7.2, issue or agree to issue shares during any 12 month period in excess of 15% of
the number of shares on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period
without shareholder approval.
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 sets out an exception to the limitations on the Company’s
capacity to issue securities pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1, by permitting the
ratification of previous issues of securities which were not made under a prescribed
exception under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 or with shareholder approval, provided that
such issues did not breach the ASX Listing Rule 7.1. If shareholders of a company
approve the ratification of such previous issues of securities at a general meeting,
those shares will be deemed to have been issued with shareholder approval for the
purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, if shareholders ratify the previous issues of securities made by Bapcor
by way of approving Resolutions 4 and 5, such securities will be deemed to have
been issued with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Reasons for
Resolutions
4 and 5
The effect of the ratifications sought under Resolutions 4 and 5 in accordance with
ASX Listing Rule 7.4 is the reinstatement of the Company’s maximum capacity to
issue further shares up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company, if required, in
the next 12 months without requiring shareholder approval. The Directors believe
that it is in the best interests of the Company that the Directors maintain their ability
to issue up to 15% of the issued capital of the Company.
Save for as otherwise set out in this Notice, the Directors do not currently have any
specific intention to make any further issue of shares without approval of
shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 in the next 12 months, unless such issue
falls under an exception to the 15% threshold in ASX Listing Rule 7.2.
However, the Directors consider it to be appropriate and prudent for approval to be
sought at the Annual General Meeting, in respect of the relevant issue of shares
made by the Company in the last twelve months. The Directors believe this approval
will enhance the Company’s flexibility to finance its operations through raising equity
capital, should the Directors consider it to be in the best interests of the Company
to do so.
In particular, the Directors note that if this approval is not obtained at the Annual
General Meeting, the Company may be required to incur additional costs of
convening an extraordinary general meeting of the Company if the Directors
propose to issue securities which do not fall under an exception to the 15% rule in
ASX Listing Rule 7.2.
Voting Exclusion Voting exclusions apply to each of Resolutions 4 and 5, as set out in the Notice.
Board
Recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of
Resolutions 4 and 5.
Chairman’s
available proxies
The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of
Resolutions 4 and 5.

5. Long Term Incentive Plan

Resolution 6 Approval of the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
Explanation Shareholder approval is sought for the Company’s Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP)
for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules and the Corporations Act.
ASX Listing
Rules
ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that a company may not issue Equity Securities, or
agree to issue Equity Securities, without the approval of shareholders, if the number
of Equity Securities to be issued in any 12 month period (including shares issued on
the exercise of any options) exceeds 15% of the issued capital of the company
preceding the issue.
ASX Listing Rule 7.2 contains a number of exceptions to the prohibition contained
in ASX Listing Rule 7.1. In particular, under Exception 9 in ASX Listing Rule 7.2, any
Equity Securities issued under an employee incentive scheme within three years of
the date on which shareholders approve the issue of those Equity Securities are not
counted for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1. Resolution 6 is designed to satisfy
the requirements of Exception 9 in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 in relation to the LTIP.
Corporations Act Section 259B(1) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from taking security
over its shares except as permitted by section 259B(2). Section 259B(2) states that
a company may take security over shares in itself under an employee share scheme
that has been approved by resolution passed at a general meeting of the company.
Section 260A(1)(c) of the Corporations Act prohibits a company from financially
assisting a person to acquire shares in itself except as permitted by section 260(C).
Section 260(C)(4) provides for special exemption for approved employee shares
schemes and states that financial assistance is exempted from section 260(A) if a
resolution is passed at a general meeting of the company.
Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought under Resolution 6 to ensure
compliance with these sections of the Corporations Act.
Purpose of LTIP The purpose of the LTIP is to provide incentives to members of Company’s
management who are integral to the operations and ongoing success of the
Company. These incentives are designed to encourage greater productivity from
management and to better enable the Company to retain its management personnel
in a highly competitive industry.
Should Resolution 6 be passed, the Company will have the necessary flexibility to
issue securities as an incentive to management personnel, and the issue of
securities under the LTIP will not be included within the Company's placement
capacity pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
A summary of the LTIP is provided below.
Details of the
LTIP
General
The objectives of the LTIP are to facilitate the Company in retaining, incentivising
and motivating its management team. Under the LTIP, the Board has the discretion
to grant options and performance rights to eligible employees (which may include
Directors) of the Company or a related body corporate.

Bapcor Limited | Annual General Meeting 2016

12 | P a g e

==> picture [95 x 691] intentionally omitted <==

Both options and performance rights give a participant in the LTIP a right to acquire shares in the Company subject to the achievement of time based or performance based vesting conditions, with options requiring the payment of an exercise price to acquire the shares and a performance right not requiring the payment of an exercise price.

The Board has the discretion to amend the rules of the LTIP, but not so as to reduce the rights of participants who hold performance rights or options under the LTIP at the time. Awards under the LTIP are made at the Board's discretion.

Eligibility

The rules allow for offers under the LTIP to be made to any full-time or part-time employee of the Company or a related body corporate as the Board determines and may include Directors.

Grant of options and performance rights

Options and performance rights may be issued under the LTIP subject to vesting conditions, including time and performance based hurdles.The Board determines the details of the vesting conditions attaching to options and performance rights under the LTIP prior to offers of participation being made. Options or performance rights will only vest (under normal circumstances) upon satisfaction of any time and performance based vesting conditions. If those conditions are not met, the options or performance rights will generally expire and not be capable of exercise.

No amount is payable on the grant of options or performance rights offered under the LTIP.

Delivery of shares

Shares in the Company will be delivered to participants upon exercise of vested options or upon the vesting of performance rights. On exercise of vested options or the vesting of performance rights, the Company may deliver shares by new issue or by purchasing shares for transfer to participants. No exercise price is payable on the exercise of performance rights unless otherwise determined by the Board at the date of grant.

Change of control

On a change of control of the Company, unvested options and performance rights will vest on a pro rata basis, based on the proportion of the relevant performance period in respect of those unvested options or performance rights which has elapsed at the date of the change of control. The Board has discretion as to how to treat remaining unvested options and performance rights, including but not limited to: vesting a portion of those unvested options and performance rights; applying the specified performance tests for the vesting conditions at an earlier date and vesting a portion appropriate to that level of achievement; allowing those unvested options or performance rights to remain ‘on foot’; and/or allowing those unvested options or performance rights to be ‘swapped’ into the acquiring company’s performance rights or options on issue.

Plan limits

Issues of shares on exercise of vested options or vesting of performance rights granted under the LTIP will be subject to a cap of 5% of the issued share capital of the Company, inclusive of shares that may be issued under any other employee incentive schemes of the Company for employees and Non-Executive Directors, but disregarding offers made outside of Australia, made under a prospectus or other disclosure document or which do not require a disclosure document.

13 | P a g e

Expiry of options and performance rights
Unless otherwise determined by the Board in its discretion, options and performance
rights which have not been exercised will expire and cease to exist on the expiry
date specified at the date of grant or upon the Board making a determination that
the options or performance rights are to be forfeited.
Trustee
Bapcor may appoint a trustee for the purpose of administering the LTIP, including to
acquire and hold shares or other securities of the Company on behalf of participants
in the LTIP or otherwise for the purposes of the LTIP.
Forfeiture on cessation of employment
In the event that a participant in the LTIP ceases employment with the Company or
any of its associated entities in certain circumstances including dismissal for cause
or poor performance, then subject to compliance with the ASX Listing Rules and the
Corporations Act, any unvested options or performance rights held by that
participant will lapse, and any vested options held by the participant must be
exercised within 60 days of cessation of employment or they will also lapse.
Quotation
The Company will apply for official quotation of any shares issued to an LTIP
participant upon exercise of any vest option or the vesting of any performance right,
in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.
Other terms
The LTIP rules contain other terms relating to the administration, variation,
suspension and termination of the LTIP.
Securities issued
under LTIP
The LTIP was summarised in the Company’s Prospectus dated 7 April 2014. Since
that date, 1,225,611 performance rights have been issued under the LTIP.
Under Resolution 7, it is proposed that Mr Darryl Abotomey be issued performance
rights pursuant to the LTIP.
Voting Exclusion A voting exclusion statement applies to this item of business, as set out in the Notice.
Board

Resolution 6.
Resolution 7 Approval for Mr Darryl Abotomey to participate in the LTIP
Description Resolution 7 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of performance rights to Mr
Darryl Abotomey, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director.

Bapcor Limited | Annual General Meeting 2016

14 | P a g e

Shareholder
Approval
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the Company requires shareholder approval to issue
equity securities to a Director of the Company. Accordingly, Resolution 7 seeks
shareholder approval for the Company to issue securities under the LTIP to Mr
Darryl Abotomey, CEO and Managing Director of the Company, over the next 3
years.
Exception 14 in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 provides that ASX Listing Rule 7.1 does not
apply where shareholder approval for an issue of securities is obtained under ASX
Listing Rule 10.14. This means that, if shareholder approval is obtained for
Resolution 7, approval is not required for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Information
provided to
shareholders
For the purposes of the approval sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and in
accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15A and for all other
purposes, the following information is provided to shareholders in respect of the
proposed grant of performance rights under the LTIP.
(a)
Number of performance rights:The exact number of performance rights
that will be granted to Mr Abotomey during the next 3 years cannot be
calculated as at the date of this Notice as it depends upon Mr Abotomey’s
entitlement to share based incentive payments and the future price of the
Company’s shares at the date performance rights are granted under the LTIP.
The number of performance rights that will be granted to Mr Abotomey during
the next 3 years will be calculated on the grant date by dividing the maximum
value of share based incentive payments to which Mr Abotomey is entitled by
the value of each performance right determined at the grant date using the
Black Scholes valuation method.
The maximum number of performance rights to be granted to Mr Abotomey
under Resolution 7 is 500,000, each of which may vest into one ordinary share
in Bapcor, upon the satisfaction of vesting conditions. Upon the vesting of the
performance rights, the underlying performance shares will rank equally with
all other ordinary shares of the Company on issue.
(b)
Terms of performance rights: The performance rights issued to Mr
Abotomey under the LTIP will each vest into one ordinary share in Bapcor,
upon the satisfaction of prescribed vesting conditions and performance
hurdles. Whilst the exact terms of the performance rights to be granted have
yet to be determined by the Board, the performance hurdles are expected to
be tested over varying periods of 2 and 3 years from date of grant, and the
vesting conditions are expected to be based on total shareholder return
achieved by Bapcor against a comparator group of companies, and earnings
per share growth achieved by Bapcor.
(c)
Timing of grants: It is proposed that the performance rights will be issued to
Mr Abotomey progressively in tranches during the 3 years after the date of the
Meeting.
(d)
Price: No consideration will be payable for the grant of the performance rights
under the LTIP to Mr Abotomey, or for the issue of underlying shares upon
vesting of the performance rights.
(e)
Details of prior grants: The only person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14
who has received securities under the LTIP since the date of the Company’s
Prospectus is Mr Darryl Abotomey, who has received 451,148 performance
rights for nil consideration.
The only person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 entitled to participate in
theLTIP isMr Darryl Abotomey.

  • (f) Voting exclusion : A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolution 7 and is included in the Notice.

  • (g) No Loans : No loans are proposed to be provided in relation to the acquisition of the relevant performance rights.

  • (h) Disclosures in annual report: Details of any securities issued under the LTIP will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to the period in which the securities were issued and, where applicable, it will be noted that approval for the issue of the securities was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

  • (i) Other participants under LR 10.14 : Any additional persons referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in the LTIP after this Resolution 7 is approved and who are not named in this Notice or Explanatory Memorandum will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Board Mr Darryl Abotomey abstains from making a voting recommendation on this
Recommendation Resolution as it relates to an issue of performance rights to him. The other Directors
do not wish to make a recommendation on this Resolution as it relates to the
remuneration of one of the Directors.
Other Information The Directors are not aware of any other information that is reasonably required by
shareholders to enable them to make a decision as to how to vote on Resolution 7.

available proxies Resolution 7.

6. Employee Salary Sacrifice Share Plan

Resolution 8 Approval of the Employee Salary Sacrifice Share Plan (ESSSP)

schemes and states that financial assistance is exempted from section 260(A) if a
resolution is passed at a general meeting of the company.
Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought under Resolution 8 to ensure

reduction of rights of employees in respect of shares issued under the ESSSP. If an

7. Non-Executive Directors’ Remuneration Fee Cap

Resolution 9 Approval to increase remuneration fee cap
Explanation Resolution 9 seeks approval of shareholders to increase the maximum aggregate
amount per annum that may be paid as fees to Non-Executive Directors (Fee Cap).
The Directors have recently conducted a review of Non-Executive Directors' fees
and consider it reasonable and appropriate at this time to seek an increase to the
Fee Cap, for the following reasons:
(a) the increase will provide flexibility for the Company to continue to attract and
retain Non-Executive Directors of a high calibre;
(b) the increase will allow for future adjustments to Non-Executive Directors fees
in line with market conditions;
(c) the increase will enable the Company to increase the number of Non-
Executive Directors, if the Board considers it appropriate to do so, as part of
the process of achieving a broad range of skills, experience and expertise on
theBoardwhichare complementary to the Company's business activities; and

Bapcor Limited | Annual General Meeting 2016

18 | P a g e

(d) the increase will allow for the payment of appropriate fees over time, taking
into account the increasing time and responsibilities required of Non-Executive
Directors due to the increased complexity of the Company's corporate
governance requirements as a result of the growth of the Company.
The Directors do not currently intend to fully utilise the increased Fee Cap, but
consider that the increase is reasonable and appropriate for the reasons outlined
above.
The Company will continue to set the actual level of remuneration of its Non-
Executive Directors within the shareholder-approved Fee Cap, after having regard
to independent external advice, market practice, Board performance and other
appropriate factors.
Disclosure of Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration will continue to be made to
shareholders in each annual remuneration report in accordance with the
Corporations Act, the Constitution and the Listing Rules.
Why is approval
being sought
under Listing
Rule 10.17
In accordance with Listing Rule 10.17, companies are required to obtain
shareholder approval for an increase in the total aggregate amount of directors'
fees which are payable to non-executive directors.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.17, the Company notes as follows:
(a) the current Fee Cap is $700,000, as stated in the Company’s Prospectus;
(b) shareholder approval is now sought to increase the Fee Cap by $300,000 to
$1,000,000; and
(c) there have been no securities issued to Non-Executive Directors under Listing
Rules 10.11 or 10.14 in the preceding 3 years:
Voting Exclusion A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution, as set out in the Notice.

make no recommendations to shareholders in relation to this Resolution.

8. Renewal of Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions

Resolution 10 Renewal of Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions in Constitution
Explanation Rule 14 of the Constitution provides that the Company must refuse to register shares
acquired under a Proportional Takeover Bid unless a resolution is passed by
shareholders in general meeting approving the offer.
In accordance with the Corporations Act and the Constitution, rule 14 will cease to
have effect on 4 February 2017, being three years from the date of when the
provision was first included in the Constitution, unless renewed by a special
resolution of the Company’s shareholders. Accordingly, the Directors request that
shareholders approve the renewal of the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions as
set out in rule 14 of the Constitution for a further three years with effect from the date
of the Meeting.
Proportional
Takeover Bid
A Proportional Takeover Bid is a takeover offer sent to each shareholder for only a
specified proportion of the shares (i.e. less than 100%) held by the shareholder.
Shareholders who accept such an offer in full will only dispose of that specified
proportion and retain the balance of their shares.
This may allow effective control of the Company to pass to the bidder without
shareholders having the chance to sell all of their shares, and may assist the bidder
to take control of the Company without paying an adequate control premium.
Effect of the
Proportional
Takeover Bid
Provisions
The effect of the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions in rule 14 of the Constitution
is that the Director must convene a general meeting in the event of a Proportional
Takeover Bid, at which meeting those shareholders entitled to vote will be asked to
vote on whether to approve the Proportional Takeover Bid (Approving Resolution).
The meeting at which the Approving Resolution is proposed must be held before the
date which is 14 days before the last day of the bid period in respect of the
Proportional Takeover Bid (Approving Resolution Deadline).
With respect to an Approving Resolution, each shareholder who as at the end of the
day on which the first offer under the Proportional Takeover Bid was made held bid
class shares, will be entitled to vote and will have one vote for each fully paid share
held. The vote is to be decided on a simple majority. The bidder and its associates
will not be entitled to vote on the Approving Resolution and if they do vote, their votes
will not be counted.
If the Approving Resolution is not passed, transfers giving effect to a takeover
contract resulting from the acceptance of an offer made under the Proportional
Takeover Bid will not be registered and the Proportional Takeover Bid will be taken
to have been withdrawn. If the Approving Resolution is passed, then the transfers
must be registered if they comply with the Corporations Act and the Constitution.
If an Approving Resolution has not been voted on as at the end of the day before
the Approving Resolution Deadline, an Approving Resolution will be taken to have
been passed, and the Proportional Takeover Bid will be taken to have been
approved.
The Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions only apply for three years from the date
of their renewal, after which time they may only continue to apply if the Company’s
shareholders pass a special resolution in general meeting (in accordance with
section 136(2) of the Corporations Act) to renew the Proportional Takeover Bid
Provisions for a further three years from the date of that general meeting.

Knowledge of Proportional Takeover Bids

Potential advantages and disadvantages for Directors and shareholders

As at the date of this Notice, the Directors are not aware of a proposal by any person to acquire or to increase the extent of a substantial interest in the Company.

Pursuant to section 648G(5)(g) of the Corporations Act, the Company provides the below information in relation to the potential advantages and potential disadvantages of the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions for both the Directors and shareholders.

Potential advantages and disadvantages to Directors

The Directors consider that the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions have no potential advantages or disadvantages for them as Directors, as the Directors are free to make whatever recommendations to shareholders with respect to Proportional Takeover Bids as the Directors deem appropriate.

Potential advantages and disadvantages to shareholders

The potential advantages of the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions for shareholders include that the provisions:

  • (a) provide the right for shareholders to meet and decide, by majority vote, whether to accept a Proportional Takeover Bid;

  • (b) may help shareholders avoid being in a situation where they are holding residual shares as a minority, and may prevent a bidder acquiring control of the Company without paying an adequate control premium;

  • (c) potentially increase the shareholders’ bargaining power and may help ensure that any bid is adequately priced; and

  • (d) may assist each individual shareholder in deciding whether to accept or reject the Proportional Takeover Bid offer, by showing each shareholder the view of the majority of their fellow shareholders.

Potential disadvantages of the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions for shareholders include that the provisions:

  • (a) may potentially discourage the making of Proportional Takeover Bids for shares in the Company; and

  • (b) may reduce the likelihood of a Proportional Takeover Bid being successful,

both of which may result in shareholders losing a potential opportunity to sell some of their shares at a premium.

The Directors consider that the potential advantages for shareholders of the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions operating for a further three years from the date of the Meeting outweigh the potential disadvantages.

Review of advantages and disadvantages of provisions during period prior to renewal

Section 648G(5)(f) of the Corporations Act requires that the Company provide shareholders with a review of the advantages and disadvantages of the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions for the Directors and shareholders during the period throughout which the provisions have already been in effect. The Company advises that during the period throughout which the current Proportional Takeover Bid

Bapcor Limited | Annual General Meeting 2016

21 | P a g e

Provisions have been in effect, there have been no Proportional Takeover Bids for
the Company against which specific advantages and disadvantages can be
assessed.
However, throughout this period, the general advantages and disadvantages laid out
above applied to the Proportional Takeover Provisions.
Reasons for
renewing the
Proportional
Takeover Bid
Provisions
The Board considers that it is in the interests of shareholders for the Proportional
Takeover Bid Provisions to remain in force in the Constitution, such that
shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on any proposed Proportional
Takeover Bid during the three years from the date of the Meeting.
Board
Recommendation
As stated above, the Directors consider that the passing of this Resolution will be in
the interests of shareholders and that the potential advantages for shareholders of
the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions outweigh any potential disadvantages, and
for this reason the Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of this
Resolution.

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointment of Proxy

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.

Signing Instructions

Individual: Where the holding is in one name, the securityholder must sign.

Joint Holding: Where the holding is in more than one name, all of the securityholders should sign.

Power of Attorney: If you have not already lodged the Power of Attorney with the registry, please attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it.

Companies: Where the company has a Sole Director who is also the Sole Company Secretary, this form must be signed by that person.

Otherwise this form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary. Please sign in the appropriate place to indicate the office held.
