Proxy voting by the Chair

The Corporations Amendment (Improving Accountability on Director and Executive Remuneration) Act 2011 (Cth), imposes prohibitions on Key Management Personnel and their Closely Related Parties from voting their shares (or voting undirected proxies) on, amongst other things, remuneration matters.

However, the chairman of a meeting may vote an undirected proxy (i.e. a proxy that does not specify how it is to be voted), provided the shareholder who has lodged the proxy has given an express voting direction to the chairman to exercise the undirected proxy, even if the resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of Key Management Personnel.

If you complete a Proxy Form that authorises the Chairman of the Meeting to vote on your behalf as proxy, and you do not mark any of the boxes so as to give him directions about how your vote should be cast, then you will be taken to have expressly authorised the Chairman to exercise your proxy on Resolutions 1, 3A and 3B. In accordance with this express authority provided by you, the Chairman will vote in favour of Resolutions 1, 3A and 3B. If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, and you wish to direct him how to vote, please tick the appropriate boxes on the Proxy Form.

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each resolution.

If you appoint as your proxy any Director of the Company, except the Chairman, or any other Key Management Personnel or any of their Closely Related Parties and you do not direct your proxy how to vote on Resolutions 1, 3A and 3B, he or she will not vote your proxy on that item of business.

3.4 Chairman’s available proxies

4. Resolutions 3A and 3B: Grants of Performance Rights to CEO/MD

4.1 Explanation

Resolutions 3A and 3B seek shareholder approval for the issue of performance rights to Mr Darryl Abotomey, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director.

4.2 Why Bapcor is seeking shareholder approval under Resolutions 3A and 3B

The Company is required by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 to obtain shareholder approval to grant securities, including performance rights, to Mr Abotomey under the LTIP.

Mr Abotomey’s total remuneration includes a LTIP award, which is delivered through a grant of performance rights.

The resolution to grant LTIP performance rights to Mr Abotomey for FY17 was not passed by shareholders at the 2016 AGM and consequently no grant was made.

The Board has considered the feedback from investors and has changed the structure and conditions of the LTIP grants, to address the concerns raised in 2016. Accordingly, Bapcor is seeking approval to grant performance rights to Mr Abotomey for his FY18 LTIP and FY17 LTIP.

If shareholder approval is given, the performance rights the subject of Resolutions 3A and 3B will be granted to Mr Abotomey immediately after the Meeting, and in any event within 12 months of the Meeting.

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 Resolutions 3A and 3B, approval is not required for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

For the purposes of the approval sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and in accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15 and for all other purposes, further details in respect of Resolutions 3A and 3B are provided below.

4.3 Voting Exclusions

A voting exclusion statement applies to Resolutions 3A and 3B, as set out in the Notice.

4.4 Board Recommendation

Mr Darryl Abotomey abstains from making a voting recommendation on Resolutions 3A and 3B as they relate to grants of performance rights to him. The other Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 3A and 3B.

4.5 Chairman’s available proxies

The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolutions 3A and 3B.

5. Details of proposed issue of FY18 Performance Rights under Resolution 3A

5.1 Terms of performance rights

Each performance right entitles Mr Abotomey to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in the Company if the applicable performance hurdles are met. The performance rights will be granted on the same terms as performance rights granted to other executives participating in the FY18 LTIP performance rights offer.

Previous grants to Mr Abotomey were made on the basis of the fair value of the performance rights. The equivalent LTI opportunity based on face value was determined on the basis of an independent assessment undertaken by Guerdon Associates, an independent expert adviser. Based on a VWAP of $5.3283, the number of performance rights to be granted under Resolution 3A is 201,002 .

5.3 Performance Period

The performance period will be three years from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2020.

5.4 Performance hurdles

Performance Hurdle Description
----- End of picture text -----

Performance Hurdle Description
TSR Hurdle TSR will be tested following the performance period by comparing the Company’s TSR performance over
the performance period relative to the TSRs of a set of comparator companies. The test will be conducted
by an independent, external provider.
The comparator group is set out below. The Board has the discretion to adjust the Comparator Group to
take into account events including, but not limited to takeovers, suspensions, mergers or demergers that
might occur during the performance period.
TSR incorporates both share appreciation and dividends. For Bapcor and the comparator companies,
the share price at the start and end of the performance will be determined as the 10-day VWAP of the
Company’s shares preceding the start and end of the performance period. Dividends will be assumed to
have been reinvested on the ex-dividend date.
The table below sets out the percentage of performance rights subject to the TSR hurdle that will vest
depending on the Company’s relative TSR performance:

At or above the 75th percentile
Nil
50%
Pro rata between 50% and 100% on a straight line basis
100%
EPS Growth
Hurdle
EPS growth will be measured over the performance period, using FY17 EPS as the base year to calculate
compound annual growth over the following three years.
EPS growth is based on basic EPS, which is calculated in accordance with AASB 133. The FY17 EPS of
$0.2376 will be used as the base value to determine the CAGR.
The table below sets out the percentage of performance rights subject to the TSR hurdle that will vest

Performance against each hurdle will be tested separately. There will be no retesting and any performance rights that do not vest at the end of the performance period will lapse.

5.5 Restriction Period

Any shares provided on vesting of the performance rights will be held in trust for Mr Abotomey and will be subject to a restriction period of one year, during which they cannot be sold, transferred or otherwise dealt with.

5.6 Other Terms

Mr Abotomey will receive the performance rights at no cost. No dividends will be payable on the performance rights prior to vesting. The performance rights do not carry any voting rights.

The Board has discretion to reduce or cancel performance rights, or require Mr Abotomey to repay to the Company the market value of the shares post-vesting, in certain circumstances. These circumstances include fraud, dishonesty, misconduct, financial misstatement and other circumstances including those which adversely affect the financial position or reputation of Bapcor, such that the performance rights should not have been vested.

Mr Abotomey will participate in bonus issues, rights issues and capital reorganisation, in accordance with the Plan rules.

In the event of a change of control, and subject to the Board’s absolute discretion, unvested performance rights will vest on a pro rata basis based on the proportion of the performance period which has elapsed at the date of the change of control.

No loans are provided by the Company in connection with the performance rights awarded under the LTIP.

The only person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 entitled to participate in the LTIP is Mr Abotomey. He has not received any grants of equity, including performance rights, under the LTIP, since the LTIP was approved by shareholders at the 2016 AGM.

TSR incorporates both share appreciation and dividends. For Bapcor and the comparator companies,
the share price at the start and end of the performance will be determined as the 10 day VWAP of the
Company’s shares preceding the start and end of the performance period. Dividends will be assumed to
have been reinvested on the ex-dividend date.

6.7 Other Terms

Mr Abotomey will receive the performance rights at no cost. No dividends will be payable on the performance rights prior to vesting. The performance rights do not carry any voting rights.

The Board has discretion to reduce or cancel performance rights, or require Mr Abotomey to repay to the Company the market value of the shares post-vesting, in certain circumstances. These circumstances include fraud, dishonesty, misconduct, financial misstatement and other circumstances including those which adversely affect the financial position or reputation of Bapcor, such that the performance rights should not have been vested.

Mr Abotomey will participate in bonus issues, rights issues and capital reorganisation, in accordance with the Plan rules.

In the event of a change of control, and subject to the Board’s absolute discretion, unvested performance rights will vest on a pro rata basis based on the proportion of the performance period which has elapsed at the date of the change of control.

The only person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 entitled to participate in the LTIP is Mr Abotomey. He has not received any grants of equity, including performance rights, under the LTIP, since the LTIP was approved by shareholders at the 2016 AGM.

7. Resolutions 4A and 4B: Approval of Provision of Financial Assistance

7.1 Background to the requirement for financial assistance approval

  • a. Pursuant to section 260A(1) of the Corporations Act a company may financially assist a person to acquire shares in the company or a holding company of the company only if:

  • i. giving the assistance does not materially prejudice:

    1. the interests of the company or its shareholders; or

    2. the company’s ability to pay its creditors; or

  • ii. the assistance is approved by shareholders under section 260B of the Corporations Act; or

iii. the assistance is exempted under section 260C of the Corporations Act.

  • b. Under section 260B(1) of the Corporations Act, for a company to financially assist a person to acquire shares in itself or a holding company of the company, the financial assistance must be approved by its shareholders by:

  • i. a special resolution passed at a general meeting of the company, with no votes being cast in favour of the resolution by the person acquiring the shares (or units of shares) or by their associates; or

  • ii. a resolution agreed to, at a general meeting, by all ordinary shareholders.

  • c. If, immediately after the acquisition, the company will be a subsidiary of another:

  • i. domestic corporation that is listed in Australia ( Listed Australian Holding Company ); or

  • ii. domestic corporation that is not listed in Australia and is not itself a subsidiary of another domestic corporation ( Ultimate Australian Holding Company ),

then the financial assistance must also be approved by a special resolution passed under section 260B(2) (in the case of a Listed Australian Holding Company) or section 260B(3) (in the case of an Ultimate Australian Holding Company) of the Corporations Act at a general meeting of that corporation.

  • d. The purpose of this Statement is to explain in further detail the proposed financial assistance set out in the Notice of Meeting of Members which must be passed under section 260B(2) of the Corporations Act to enable certain subsidiaries of the Company of which the Company is a Listed Australian Holding Company to financially assist Bapcor Finance Pty Ltd ( Bapcor Finance ) in connection with the Acquisitions (as described below).

7.2 Company as Proposed Holding Company

Each Nominated Guarantor Entity (as defined below) proposes to give financial assistance in connection with the share acquisitions as described in the next paragraph and is seeking shareholder approval under section 260B(1) of the Corporations Act. The Company is a holding company of each Nominated Guarantor Entity and therefore is required to obtain a special resolution of its members approving the proposed financial assistance under section 260B in order for the proposed financial assistance to be given.

10 BAPCOR

7.3 Particulars of the Proposed Financial Assistance

  • a. Bapcor Finance, a subsidiary of the Company, has acquired all of the issued shares ( Shares ) in the capital of Hellaby Holdings Limited and Aftermarket Network Australia Pty Ltd (together, the Acquisitions ).

  • b. In connection with the Acquisitions, Bapcor Finance also, indirectly, acquired an interest in the following entities:

  • i. Hellaby Automotive Australia Pty Limited;

  • ii. Diesel Distributors Australia Pty Limited;

  • iii. TRS Tyre & Wheel Pty Limited;

  • iv. Hellaby Auto Electrical Pty Limited;

  • v. Hellaby Auto Fuel Pty Limited;

  • vi. Ryde Batteries Pty Limited;

  • vii. Ryde Batteries (Wholesale) Pty Limited;

  • viii. Federal Batteries Qld Pty Limited;

  • ix. JAS Oceania Pty Limited;

  • x. Premier Auto Trade Pty Limited;

  • xi. Australian Automotive Electrical Wholesale Pty Limited;

  • xii. Low Voltage Pty Limited;

  • xiii. Hellaby Australia Pty Limited;

  • xiv. Baxters Pty Ltd; and

  • xv. MTQ Engine Systems (Aust) Pty Ltd,

    • (each a Nominated Guarantor Entity ).
  • c. The Acquisitions were financed in part, and subsequently, refinanced by external debt.

  • d. Following the Acquisitions, the Company became the Listed Australian Holding Company of each Nominated Guarantor Entity. As the Company has become the Listed Australian Holding Company, it is therefore a requirement of section 260B(2) of the Corporations Act that the Financial Assistance (as defined below) be approved by a special resolution of the members of the Company. It is a peculiarity of the drafting of the Corporations Act that such a resolution is required in this situation even though it is the Company (through a subsidiary) making the Acquisitions and is therefore benefiting from the grant of the proposed financial assistance for the Acquisitions, and even though the proposed financial assistance is clearly in the interests of the Company and its shareholders.

  • e. The Company is party to the Common Terms Deed (as defined below) and the Security Trust Deed (as defined below).

  • f. As is the case with the Company’s current funding arrangements, and many similar funding arrangements with other companies, it is a requirement of the banks providing the Common Terms Deed and associated facility agreements that the Company’s obligations be secured and guaranteed by a certain proportion of the group’s wholly-owned subsidiaries and the other obligors. To comply with this requirement, the obligors are required to procure that each Nominated Guarantor Entity become guarantors by acceding to the Common Terms Deed (as defined below) and become security providers by acceding to the Security Trust Deed (as defined below) and by entering into the General Security Deed (as defined below).

  • g. It is proposed that each Nominated Guarantor Entity give financial assistance comprising entering into the following documents (each, a Document ) in connection with the Acquisitions:

  • i. an obligor accession deed relating to the Common Terms Deed dated 29 June 2017 between, among others, each party listed in Schedule 1 as an Initial Obligor (each an Obligor ) and Westpac Banking Corporation ( Westpac ) as the Agent and Security Trustee (the Common Terms Deed );

  • ii. an accession deed (security provider) relating to the Security Trust Deed originally dated 14 October 2011 as most recently amended and restated by an Amendment and Restatement Deed dated 29 June 2017 between, among others, each Obligor and Westpac as the Agent and Security Trustee (the Security Trust Deed );

  • iii. a general security deed between, amongst others, each Nominated Guarantor Entity and Westpac as the Security Trustee (the General Security Deed );

  • iv. a verification certificate from each Nominated Guarantor Entity to Westpac as the Agent; and

  • v. any document, notice, certificate, resolution, guarantee, indemnity, covenant, representation, warranty, stipulation, promise or agreement, necessary, advisable or incidental in connection with any of the documents listed above.

  • h. The entering into of each Document and the provision of any security guarantee, indemnity, covenant, representation, warranty, stipulation, promise or agreement will occur in respect of the Acquisitions and may be considered to amount to financial assistance for the purposes of section 260A of the Corporations Act (the Financial Assistance ).

  • i. As the Financial Assistance is only being given after the Acquisitions, any security and guarantee documents will only be effective upon the expiration of 14 days after notice is lodged with ASIC stating that the assistance has been approved under section 260B(6) of the Corporations Act.

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 11

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM to Notice of Annual General Meeting

7.4 Reasons for the Proposal to Give Financial Assistance

  • a. It is a requirement of the Common Terms Deed and associated facility agreements that each Nominated Guarantor Entity give the Financial Assistance. In the view of the directors, such a requirement was a reasonable and necessary part of obtaining finance on the most favourable terms.

  • b. If each Nominated Guarantor Entity does not give the Financial Assistance within a specified period, absent a waiver otherwise, it would be an Event of Default under the Common Terms Deed and allow the lenders to terminate the facilities and require immediate repayment of the amounts lent. It would be necessary for the Company to try to refinance the Common Terms Deed and associated facility agreements or to try to renegotiate the Common Terms Deed, which may need to be on significantly more restrictive and expensive terms.

7.5 Advantages of the Proposed Financial Assistance

The potential benefit for the Company of each Nominated Guarantor Entity giving the Financial Assistance in the manner contemplated in these resolutions is that it will enable the related bodies corporate of the Company to comply with their obligations under each Document, as applicable, and provide the related bodies corporate of the Company with continued access to funding which will be for the benefit of the Company.

7.6 Effect of the Proposed Financial Assistance on the Interests of each Nominated Guarantor Entity and its Shareholders

  • a. Under the Documents, each Nominated Guarantor Entity will, among other things, assume liability to, and provide security and a guarantee and indemnity in favour of the finance parties specified in the Common Terms Deed for the obligations agreed to under the Common Terms Deed.

  • b. The effect on the interests of the shareholder of each Nominated Guarantor Entity of the giving of the Financial Assistance will be that if an Obligor or any co-guarantor or other specified party does not comply with its obligations under the terms of the applicable Documents and the Common Terms Deed and associated facility agreements, or if certain other events of default occur, then:

  • i. the finance parties will be entitled to enforce their rights under the applicable Documents and the Common Terms Deed and associated facility agreements and apply the proceeds of enforcement in satisfaction of, among other things, amounts owed by an Obligor or any co-guarantor or other specified party under the finance and transaction documents specified in the applicable Documents and the Common Terms Deed and associated facility agreements; and

  • ii. each Nominated Guarantor Entity may be required to contribute to any claim made against any co-guarantor or other specified party.

  • c. Such events may have an adverse effect on the financial position of each Nominated Guarantor Entity, which may in turn affect the ability of each Nominated Guarantor Entity to pay dividends to shareholders and the asset pool available to shareholders in the event of a winding-up.

7.7 Effect of the Proposed Financial Assistance on the Ability of each Nominated Guarantor Entity to Pay its Creditors

  • a. The effect on the ability of each Nominated Guarantor Entity to pay its creditors of the giving of the Financial Assistance will be that if the finance parties enforce their rights under the Documents and the Common Terms Deed and associated facility agreements in the circumstances and manner noted above, this is likely to have a material effect on the financial position of each Nominated Guarantor Entity, which is in turn likely to compromise its ability to pay creditors.

  • b. As noted above, the Common Terms Deed contains events of default. However, the directors of each Nominated Guarantor Entity consider these to be reasonable and manageable and, in light of the grace periods, thresholds, materiality and other mitigating factors, do not consider there will be a substantial risk of default based on facts and circumstances known to them at the date of this statement.

  • c. Accordingly, the directors of each Nominated Guarantor Entity have considered and reached a view that, as at the date of this statement, the relevant Financial Assistance will not materially prejudice the ability of each Nominated Guarantor Entity to pay its creditors.

7.8 ther Information Material to Decision

The Financial Assistance will have no adverse effects on the Company.

7.9 Approval and Recommendation by Directors

The directors of the Company have approved this statement and determined that it includes all information known to the company that is material to the decision on how to vote on the resolution required by section 260B(4) of the Corporations Act and recommend shareholder approval of the resolution set out in the accompanying Notice of Meeting of Members.

7.10 Prior notice to Australian Securities & Investments Commission

As required by section 260B(5) of the Corporations Act, copies of the Notice of Meeting of Members and this Statement as sent to shareholders were lodged with the Australian Securities & Investments Commission prior to their dispatch to the shareholders.
