continued Voting Information

Voting by Attorney

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting is entitled to appoint an attorney to attend and vote at the Meeting on the shareholder’s behalf.

An attorney need not themselves be a shareholder. The power of attorney appointing the attorney must be signed and specify the name of each of the shareholder, the Company and the attorney, and also specify the meeting(s) at which the appointment may be used.

The appointment may be a standing one. To be effective, the power of attorney must also be returned in the same manner, and by the same time, as specified for Proxy Forms.

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 Chair 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 Chair 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 Chair of the Meeting to vote on your behalf as proxy, and you do not mark any of the boxes so as to give her directions about how your vote should be cast, then you will be taken to have expressly authorised the Chair to exercise your proxy on Resolutions 2, 3, 4 and 5 in accordance with this express authority provided by you, the Chair will vote in favour of Resolutions 2, 3, 4 and 5. If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, and you wish to direct her how to vote, please tick the appropriate boxes on the Proxy Form.

The Chair 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 Chair, 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 2, 3, 4 or 5, he or she will not vote your proxy on that item of business.

Explanatory Memorandum to Notice of 2024 Annual General Meeting

1. Item 1: Financial and related reports

Section 317 of the Corporations Act requires the Company’s financial report, directors’ report and auditor’s report for the financial year ended 30 June 2024 to be laid before the Company’s 2024 Annual General Meeting. There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this item.

The financial report contains the financial statements of the consolidated entity consisting of Bapcor and its controlled entities.

As permitted by the Corporations Act, a printed copy of the Company’s 2024 Annual Report has been sent only to those shareholders who have elected to receive a printed copy. A copy of the 2024 Annual Report is available from the Company’s website (www.bapcor.com.au).

The Chair of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity during the meeting for shareholders to ask questions.

Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask the Company’s auditor PWC questions about its audit report, the conduct of its audit of the Company’s financial report for the year ended 30 June 2024, the preparation and content of its audit report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in its preparation of the financial statements and the independence of PWC in relation to the conduct of the audit.

2. resolution 1: re‑election of Mr Mark Bernhard as a Director

2.1 Explanation

Rule 6.1(f)(i)(A) of the Company’s Constitution requires that one third of the Directors (excluding the Managing Director, or any Directors appointed since the last annual general meeting and required to retire under rule 6.1(e) of the Constitution), rounded down to the nearest whole number, retire at each Annual General Meeting of the Company. As such, the number of Directors required to retire at the 2024 Annual General Meeting is two.

Rule 6.1(g) of the Constitution states that the Director(s) who must retire in accordance with rule 6.1(f)(i)(A) is the Director who has been longest in office since their last election. If Directors were elected on the same day, the Director to retire must be determined by agreement among themselves, or in the absence of agreement, by lot.

As announced by the Company on 1 February 2024, Ms Margaret Haseltine will retire as a Director of the Company, with effect from the conclusion of the 2024 Annual General Meeting. Ms Haseltine’s retirement classifies as a Director retirement for the purposes of rule 6.1(f)(i)(A) of the Constitution.

As between the remaining Directors, Mr Mark Bernhard and Mr Mark Powell are the Directors who have been longest in office since their last election, having been re-elected to office by shareholders at the Company’s 2022 Annual General Meeting. Given that Mr Bernhard and Mr Powell were re-elected on the same day, they have agreed amongst themselves that Mr Bernhard will retire in accordance with rule 6.1(g).

Mr Mark Bernhard accordingly retires as a Director at this Meeting in accordance with rule 6.1(f)(i)(A) of the Company’s Constitution.

Mr Mark Bernhard, being eligible under rule 6.1(i) of the Constitution, offers himself for re-election as Director.

independence status. As part of this assessment, the Board considered a range of
factors, including the short term and temporary nature of Mark’s Interim CEO role, and
the practical differences between the role played by Mark as Interim CEO, as compared

was appointed). On the basis that, in the Board’s view, Mark has consistently demonstrated
and continues to demonstrate a capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on
issues before the Board and to act in the best interests of Bapcor as a whole, the Board
has determined that, as at the date of this Notice, Mark is considered to be an

BApCOr ANNuAL GENERAL MEETING 2024

Explanatory Memorandum to continued Notice of 2024 Annual General Meeting

The 30-day VWAP of Bapcor Shares ending on 7 June 2024 was $4.397. On this basis, Mr McKay is entitled to 216,056 Sign-on Rights, subject obtaining shareholder approval under this Resolution 3.

under the Service Agreement, the Sign-on Rights are granted as rights under the LTIP. The Company is seeking Shareholder approval under Listing Rule 10.14 for the grant of the Sign-on Rights to the Executive Chair & CEO on the terms set out further below.

4.2 Summary of Listing rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 states that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme, unless the issue has been approved by the holders of its ordinary securities:

  • 10.14.1 A director of the entity.

  • 10.14.2 An Associate of a director of the entity.

  • 10.14.3 A person whose relationship with the entity or a person in rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by shareholders.

4.3 Why approval is being sought under Listing rule 10.14

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.1, Mr McKay is a Director of the Company. The Company wishes to have flexibility to satisfy the Sign-On Rights by way of issuing new Shares or acquiring Shares on-market.

  • (b) one-third of the Sign-on Rights will Vest on the second anniversary of the Operative Date; and

  • (c) one-third of the Sign-on Rights will Vest on the third anniversary of the Operative Date.

4.5 Treatment of Sign‑on rights upon change of control

In accordance with the terms of Mr McKay’s Service Agreement, where there is a Change of Control of Bapcor which results in Bapcor no longer being listed on the ASX, then:

  • (a) any unvested Sign-on Rights will Vest;

  • (b) Mr McKay will be entitled to receive the benefit of those unvested Sign-on Rights in cash, to be calculated by multiplying the number of unvested Sign-on Rights by the VWAP at which Shares traded on ASX over the 30 trading days ending on and including the Change of Control; and

  • (c) such cash amount must be paid to Mr McKay on the date which is seven days after the Change of Control.

4.6 CEO’s current total remuneration package

As set out in the Company’s announcement dated 9 July 2024, Mr McKay’s current total remuneration package is as follows:

  • (a) Total fixed remuneration: $1,900,000 (including superannuation) per annum ( TFr ).

  • (b) Long term incentive: 100% to 250% of TFR (and, in respect of FY25 and FY25/FY26 awards, a total of no less than 150% of the TFR will vest in the event of a Change of Control occurring in FY25 or FY26, respectively).

  • (c) Short term incentive: Mr McKay will not participate in the Company’s Short Term Incentive Plan.

  • (d) Sign‑on bonus: Mr McKay is entitled to receive a one-off sign-on bonus in the form of Sign-on Rights, as detailed in this Resolution 3.

4.7 Other information

The Company has determined to utilise Sign-on Rights (in the form of rights over Shares) for Mr McKay’s sign-on bonus, on the basis that rights (as compared to other types of equity securities) will motivate Mr McKay to take a long-term view of the Company’s performance, and provide immediate Share price exposure. In addition, the Company considers that the incremental vesting of the Sign-on Rights over three years is consistent with the Board’s objectives of driving a sustainable business, growing shareholder value and retaining talented executives.

No securities have previously been issued to Mr McKay under the LTIP.

No loans will be provided to Mr McKay in connection with the acquisition of Sign-on Rights.

A summary of the material terms of the LTIP is set out in Annexure A of this Notice.

Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the LTIP after the resolution is approved and who were not named in this Notice will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.

4.8 What happens if shareholder approval is not obtained?

If shareholder approval is not obtained for Resolution 3, the Sign-on Rights the subject of this resolution will not be issued to Mr McKay. under these circumstances, the Board may consider alternative ways to remunerate and incentivise Mr McKay, which may include providing Mr McKay with an equivalent cash incentive.

4.9 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution 3, as set out in the Notice.

4.10 Board recommendation

Mr Angus McKay abstains from making a voting recommendation on Resolution 3 as it relates to a grant of share rights to him. The other Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

4.11 Chair’s available proxies

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

5. resolution 4: Approval for the grant of FY25 performance rights to the Executive Chair & CEO under the LTIp

5.1 Explanation

Resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval for the grant of FY25 Performance Rights under the LTIP to Mr Angus McKay, the Company’s Executive Chair and CEO, as the long term incentive component of his total remuneration for FY25.

5.2 Summary of Listing rule 10.14

Listing Rule 10.14 states that an entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme, unless the issue has been approved by the holders of its ordinary securities:

  • 10.14.1 A director of the entity.

  • 10.14.2 An Associate of a director of the entity.

  • 10.14.3 A person whose relationship with the entity or a person in rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by shareholders.

5.3 Why is approval being sought under Listing rule 10.14

For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.1 Mr McKay is a Director of the Company. The Company wishes to have flexibility to satisfy the FY25 Performance Rights by way of issuing new Shares or acquiring Shares on-market.

Accordingly, shareholders are asked to approve the grant of 942,086 FY25 Performance Rights to the Executive Chair & CEO under the LTIP, and on the terms and conditions set out below.

If shareholder approval is obtained, the FY25 Performance Rights which are the subject of this Resolution 4 will be granted to Mr McKay as soon as practicable following the Meeting, and in any event within three years of the date of the Meeting.

Approval of Resolution 4 will also result in the FY25 Performance Rights granted to the Executive Chair & CEO being included as an exception to the approval requirements of Listing Rule 7.1. This means that the FY25 Performance Rights granted to the Executive Chair & CEO, and any other Shares issued pursuant to this approval, will not use up part of the 15% limit available under Listing Rule 7.1.

14

Explanatory Memorandum to continued Notice of 2024 Annual General Meeting

5.4 Terms of performance rights

If the applicable performance hurdles are met, each FY25 Performance Right entitles Mr McKay to acquire one Share in the Company, plus the number of additional shares calculated in accordance with the following formula ( Additional Shares ):

N = (D/p)

where:

N means the number of Additional Shares which may be delivered on exercise of each FY25 Performance Right;

D means the aggregate dollar value of dividends paid per Share from the day following the end of the Performance Period until the FY25 Performance Rights are automatically exercised ( Exercise Date ); and

p means the market value[1] of one Share as at the Exercise Date.

upon Vesting of Mr McKay’s FY24 Performance Rights, the Company may issue the underlying Shares and Additional Shares to Mr McKay by way of a new issue of Shares, or a transfer of Shares purchased on-market (as permitted under the LTIP). The Shares will be subject to the restrictions set out in section 5.9 below.

5.5 Number of FY25 performance rights proposed to be granted and value attributed

Mr McKay will be granted 942,086 FY25 Performance Rights ( FY25 performance rights ), which has been calculated based on the maximum face value of his FY25 grant ($4,750,000), being his LTI opportunity for FY25 at 250% of his fixed remuneration.

The number of performance rights to be granted is determined by dividing the maximum face value by the 10-day VWAP of the Company’s Shares preceding the start of the performance period, being the 10 trading days up to and including 30 June 2024, which has been calculated as $5.042, rounded down to the nearest whole number.

5.6 performance period

The performance period will be 3 years from 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2027 ( performance period ).

5.7 performance hurdles

The FY25 Performance Rights will Vest subject to the following performance hurdles:

  • (a) 50% of the FY25 Performance Rights will be subject to a hurdle based on the Company’s Total Shareholder Return ( TSr ) relative to the TSR of the constituents of the S&P/ASX 200 index as at 30 June 2024 ( ASX 200 Index ) less Financials and Mining; and

  • (b) 50% of the FY25 Performance Rights will be subject to a hurdle based on the Company’s return on invested capital ( rOIC ) measured over the financial year ended 30 June 2027 ( FY27 ).

  • Market value of shares as at a given date means the volume weighted average trading price of Bapcor shares sold on the ASX over the last 5 trading days immediately preceding that date, or any other valuation methodology approved by the Board.

Explanatory Memorandum to continued Notice of 2024 Annual General Meeting

The performance hurdles are described in detail below:

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 TSR of the constituents of the
ASX 200 Index less Financials and Mining as at 30 June 2024. The test will be conducted
by an independent, external provider.
TSR incorporates both share appreciation and dividends. For Bapcor and the ASX 200
Index constituents less Financials and Mining as at 30 June 2024, the Share price at the
start and end of the performance period 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 FY25 Performance Rights subject to the TSR
hurdle that will Vest depending on the Company’s relative TSR performance:
TSR percentile ranking
Percentage of performance rights that will Vest
Below the 50th percentile
Nil
At the 50th percentile
50% of TSR tranche
Above 50th to 87.5th percentile
Straight line pro-rata vesting
At or above 87.5th percentile
100% of TSR tranche
rOIC Hurdle As foreshadowed in Bapcor’s 2024 Remuneration Report, the ROIC hurdle applicable
to the FY25 Performance Rights has been restructured (as compared to prior periods),
to ensure a realistic performance target for executives.
The ROIC percentage hurdle for the FY25 Performance Rights will be based on ROIC
measured over FY27, calculated as:
ROIC % hurdle =
FY27 pro-forma earnings before interest (after tax)
FY27 Average Invested Capital
FY27 Average Invested Capitalis calculated as the average of:
(i) Bapcor’s FY27 opening net equity plus net debt; and
(ii) Bapcor’s FY27 closing net equity plus net debt.
The table below sets out the percentage of performance rights subject to the ROIC
hurdle that will Vest depending on the Company’s ROIC percentage at the end of the
Performance Period:
Company’s ROIC
Percentage of performance rights that will Vest
Below 10.2%
Nil
Between 10.2% and max 12.2%
Straight line pro-rata vesting
At or above max of 12.2%
100% of ROIC tranche

Performance against each hurdle will be tested separately. There will be no retesting and any FY25 Performance Rights that do not Vest at the end of the Performance Period will lapse. The Board retains discretion to adjust the relative TSR measure, ROIC measure or Vesting outcomes in appropriate circumstances, to ensure that a participant is neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by matters outside of management’s control that may materially affect achievement of the relative TSR or ROIC measures.

16

Explanatory Memorandum to continued Notice of 2024 Annual General Meeting

5.8 Automatic exercise

Vesting of the performance rights will be tested within 60 days of the end of the Performance Period. Performance rights which have Vested will automatically be exercised into Shares.

5.9 restriction period

To the extent that performance rights Vest, Mr McKay will be prohibited from the sale, transfer or dealing of the Shares for a period of 12 months from the Vesting date.

5.10 Change of Control

In accordance with the terms of Mr McKay’s Service Agreement, if there is a Change of Control of Bapcor in the financial years ending 30 June 2025 or 30 June 2026, the FY25 Performance Rights ( FY25 LTIp ), as well as any award under the LTIP for the financial year ending 30 June 2026 ( FY26 LTIp ) will Vest as follows:

  • (a) if the Change of Control occurs in the financial year ending 30 June 2025, no less than 150% of Mr McKay’s total fixed remuneration package as at the Operative Date, being $2,850,000, will Vest ( FY25 COC Entitlement ); and

  • (b) if the Change of Control occurs in the financial year ending 30 June 2026:

  • (i) the FY26 LTIP will Vest in accordance with the rules of the LTIP in the event of a Change of Control, being on a pro rata basis based on the proportion of the ‘Performance Period’ (as defined in the LTIP rules) which has elapsed as at the date of the Change of Control; and

  • (ii) a portion of the FY25 COC Entitlement will Vest such that, together with the amount of the FY26 LTIP Vested in accordance with paragraph (i) above, the total amount Vested under the FY25 LTIP and the FY26 LTIP will be equal to the amount Vested under the FY25 COC Entitlement above.

If the Change of Control occurs in the financial year ending 30 June 2027, any unvested FY25 LTIP will vest in accordance with the rules of the LTIP in the event of a Change of Control, being a pro rata basis based on the proportion of the ‘Performance Period’ (as defined in the LTIP rules) which has elapsed as at the date of the Change of Control, unless the Board determines otherwise in its absolute discretion.

5.11 Other Terms

Mr McKay will receive the FY25 Performance Rights at no cost. The FY25 Performance Rights do not carry any voting rights, or in general, a right to participate in other corporate actions such as bonus issues.

No dividends will be payable on the FY25 Performance Rights prior to Vesting. However, Mr McKay may receive Additional Shares (calculated in accordance with section 5.4 above) as a “dividend equivalent”, to ensure a sense of shareholder alignment.

The other terms of the performance rights, including treatment in the event of cessation of employment, change of control, claw back and so on, are governed by the LTIP. A summary of the LTIP is set out in Annexure A to this explanatory memorandum.

No loans are provided by the Company in connection with the FY25 Performance Rights.

5.12 Other information

Details of Mr McKay’s total remuneration package are outlined in section 4.6 above.

The Company has determined to utilise performance rights as a mechanism to provide long term incentives to key executives such as Mr McKay, on the basis that performance rights (as compared to other types of equity securities) motivate executives to take a long-term view of the Company’s performance, provides immediate Share price exposure and links reward to investors’ experience. In addition, the Company considers that the performance period of three years (and further twelve month restriction on sale and transfer of the Shares allocated in respect of Vested FY25 Performance Rights) is consistent with the Board’s objectives of driving a sustainable business, growing shareholder value and retaining talented executives.

5.14 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution 4, as set out in the Notice.

5.15 Board recommendation

Mr Angus McKay abstains from making a voting recommendation on Resolution 4 as it relates to a grant of performance rights to him. The other Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

5.16 Chair’s available proxies

The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

6. resolution 5: Approval for provision of potential termination benefits to the Executive Chair & CEO

6.1 Explanation

Resolution 5 seeks approval of any potential Termination Benefits (as defined below) that Mr Angus McKay may be entitled to receive in the event that he ceases holding a managerial or executive office in the Company.

The Corporations Act contains certain limitations concerning the payment of ‘termination benefits’ to persons who hold a ‘managerial or executive office’. The Listing Rules also provide certain limitations on the payment of ‘termination benefits’ to officers of listed entities.

The term ‘benefit’ has a wide operation and includes any automatic and accelerated vesting of incentive securities upon termination or cessation of employment in accordance with their terms, or the exercise of any Board discretion to determine such automatic or accelerated vesting will occur.

6.2 part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act

Sections 200B and 200E of the Corporations Act ( Termination provisions ) restrict the benefits that can be given to certain individuals in connection with those individuals ceasing employment or ceasing to hold an office with the Company ( Termination Benefits ). The term ‘benefits’ is defined broadly to include payments, real or personal property, legal or equitable interests in property or rights.

The Termination Provisions apply to individuals who hold a ‘managerial or executive office’ in the Company (or a related body corporate of the Company), or individuals who have held such an office during the three years before they ceased to hold such an office or position of employment. Mr Angus McKay, as Executive Chair & CEO, holds a ‘managerial or executive office’ in the Company.

18

Explanatory Memorandum to continued Notice of 2024 Annual General Meeting

under the Termination Provisions, Mr McKay may only be given a Termination Benefit exceeding his average annual base salary over the relevant period ( Benefit Cap ) if it is approved by shareholders, or an exemption applies.

A consequence of the Termination Provisions is that the Company may be prohibited from providing certain termination benefits to Mr McKay if he ceases to be employed by Bapcor, which he would otherwise be entitled to under his Service Agreement and incentive arrangements. On this basis, the Company is seeking shareholder approval for the potential provision of those benefits to Mr McKay (to the extent that they exceed the Benefit Cap), in the event that he ceases holding a managerial or executive office in the Company.

6.3 Listing rule 10.19

Listing Rule 10.19 provides that without Shareholder approval, an entity must ensure that no officer of the entity or any of its child entities will be, or may be, entitled to termination benefits if the value of those benefits and the termination benefits that may become payable to all officers together exceed 5% of the equity interests of the entity as set out in the latest accounts given to ASX under the Listing Rules ( 5% Threshold ).

6.4 reason for resolution 5

Depending on the value of the potential Termination Benefits, and the equity interests of the Company at the time such benefits may crystallise, it is not presently possible to determine if the value of the potential Termination Benefits payable to Mr McKay would exceed the statutory cap under the Corporations Act or the 5% Threshold.

Shareholder approval is therefore being sought under both Part 2D of the Corporations Act and Listing Rule 10.19 in order to provide flexibility to the Company.

6.5 Nature of Termination Benefits

The Termination Benefits that may be provided to Mr McKay under his Employment Contract are outlined below (noting that the application of these may vary depending on the circumstances of his departure).

(a) Termination with notice

under the terms of the Service Agreement, Mr McKay’s employment may be terminated (by either party) with 12 months’ written notice.

The Company may bring Mr McKay’s employment to an immediate end at the outset of, or at any time during, the notice period, and pay Mr McKay his total fixed remuneration in lieu of the balance of the notice period ( Notice payment ). Based on Mr McKay’s current total fixed remuneration, this Notice Payment would be a maximum of $1,900,000 (including superannuation), assuming he was paid out for the full 12 month notice period. However, this number may vary depending on changes to Mr McKay’s total fixed remuneration.

upon termination of Mr McKay’s employment (by either party), he is also entitled to the following payments:

  • (i) any accrued components of his total fixed remuneration to which he is entitled;

  • (ii) any deferred amount of any payment under the LTIP as assessed by the Board which he may have an entitlement to and which has Vested under any LTIP; and

  • (iii) at the end of the financial year in which his employment is terminated, a pro-rata payment based on the number of months of employment in that financial year prior to termination, of the amount of any payment under the LTIP as assessed by the Board which he has an entitlement to during that financial year. Any payment of such amount will be subject to the Vesting conditions applying to the LTIP at the time of the Board’s assessment.

(b) Termination without notice

If Mr McKay’s employment is terminated without notice (due to serious, wilful or persistent misconduct), Mr McKay is entitled to the following payments:

  • (i) any accrued components of his total fixed remuneration to which he is entitled; and

  • (ii) any deferred amount of any payment under the LTIP as assessed by the Board which he may have an entitlement to and which has Vested under any LTIP.

(c) Change of Control

under the terms of Mr McKay’s Service Agreement, if there is a Change of Control of Bapcor which results in the Company no longer being listed on the ASX:

  • (i) Sign‑on rights: any unvested Sign-on Rights will Vest, and Mr McKay will be entitled to receive the benefit of the unvested Sign-on Rights in cash, such benefit to be calculated by multiplying the number of unvested Sign-on Rights by the VWAP at which Bapcor Shares traded on ASX over the 30 trading days ending on and including the Change of Control, with such cash amount to be paid to Mr McKay on the date which is seven days after the Change of Control; and

  • (ii) LTIp awards: the FY25 Performance Rights ( FY25 LTIp ), as well as any award under the LTIP for the financial year ending 30 June 2026 ( FY26 LTIp ) will Vest as follows:

  • (A) if the Change of Control occurs in the financial year ending 30 June 2025, no less than 150% of Mr McKay’s total fixed remuneration as at the Operative Date, being $2,850,000, will Vest ( FY25 COC Entitlement ); and

  • (B) if the Change of Control occurs in the financial year ending 30 June 2026:

    • (I) the FY26 LTIP will Vest in accordance with the rules of the LTIP in the event of a Change of Control, being on a pro rata basis based on the proportion of the ‘Performance Period’ (as defined in the LTIP rules) which has elapsed as at the date of the Change of Control; and

    • (II) a portion of the FY25 COC Entitlement will Vest such that, together with the amount of the FY26 LTIP Vested in accordance with paragraph (I) above, the total amount Vested under the FY25 LTIP and the FY26 LTIP will be no less than the amount Vested under the FY25 COC Entitlement above.

If the Change of Control occurs in the financial year ending 30 June 2027, any unvested FY25 LTIP will vest in accordance with the rules of the LTIP in the event of a Change of Control, being a pro rata basis based on the proportion of the ‘Performance Period’ (as defined in the LTIP rules) which has elapsed as at the date of the Change of Control, unless the Board determines otherwise in its absolute discretion,

(together, Change of Control Benefits ).

The above Change of Control Benefits may amount to Termination Benefits, if they are paid to Mr McKay in connection with (or at the same time as) his cessation of employment as CEO of Bapcor.

Explanatory Memorandum to continued Notice of 2024 Annual General Meeting

6.6 Matters, events or circumstances that will affect the value of the Termination Benefits

The value of Mr McKay’s Termination Benefits cannot be currently ascertained, as it is dependent on a number of factors, not all of which are within the Company’s control. The matters, events or circumstances that are likely to affect the value of the Termination Benefits include:

  • (a) in relation to the Notice Payment, the amount Mr McKay is entitled to receive from the Company by way of remuneration at the time of termination of office or employment, and the time at which Mr McKay’s employment is brought to an end by the Company;

  • (b) in relation to the Sign-on Rights, the timing of the Change of Control event, and the market price of Bapcor Shares at the time of the event;

  • (c) in the case of benefits associated with the LTIP, the nature of those benefits, the time period served by Mr McKay from the date of grant until the date of cessation of employment, and the satisfaction of any applicable performance conditions;

  • (d) in relation to the Change of Control Benefits, the timing and circumstances of the Change of Control, the market price of Bapcor Shares at the time of the calculation, and the time period served by Mr McKay from the date of grant until the date of the Change of Control;

  • (e) the date on which Mr McKay ceases to be employed by the Company; and

  • (f) the circumstances of Mr McKay’s cessation of employment (for example, whether cessation of employment arises due to resignation or termination for misconduct).

6.7 Approval sought

The Company is seeking Shareholder approval for the purposes of sections 200B, 200C and 200E of the Corporations Act, in respect of any of the Termination Benefits outlined in paragraph 6.5 above which may be provided to Mr McKay in connection with his termination.

6.8 What happens if shareholder approval is not obtained?

If Resolution 5 is not approved at the meeting, Mr McKay will not be entitled to be paid any of the Termination Benefits, unless they fall within an exception under the Corporations Act or do not breach the 5% Threshold, or alternatively the Company will need to seek Shareholder approval for the giving of the potential Termination Benefits at the time of termination, to the extent they are not otherwise permitted at that time.

6.9 Voting Exclusion

A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution 5, as set out in the Notice.

6.10 Board recommendation

The Board, with Mr Angus McKay abstaining, recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

Annexure A – Summary of the Bapcor Long Term Incentive plan

General The objectives of the LTIP are to assist in the reward, retention and motivation
of eligible employees, and align the interests of eligible employees more closely
with the interests of the Company’s shareholders by providing an opportunity
for eligible employees to acquire an ownership interest in the Company.
under the LTIP, the Board has the discretion to grant options and performance
rights to eligible employees of the Company or a related body corporate.
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,
but excluding non-executive directors.
Grant of options and Options and performance rights may be issued under the LTIP subject to vesting
performance rights 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 vest 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.
unless otherwise determined by the Board and set out in an offer, no consideration
is payable on the grant of options or performance rights offered under the LTIP.
Exercise of vested A vested option or performance right may only be exercised after a vesting notice
performance rights has been received by the participant. On exercise of vested options or performance
rights, the Company must cancel the relevant options or performance rights, and
deliver shares by new issue or by transferring existing shares to participants.
The Board may, in its discretion, elect to pay to a participant, the market value of
all or part of the shares to which a participant would be entitled (in lieu of the issue
or transfer of the relevant shares to the participant).
The Board may, in its discretion, elect to settle the vested performance rights
with cash, or a combination of cash and shares, in accordance with the LTIP rules.
Any cash payments will be made net of tax and any other amounts required to
be deducted or withheld under applicable laws (including for the purposes
of superannuation).
Disposal restrictions The Board may apply disposal restrictions as set out in the relevant offer to any
on shares shares issued or transferred in relation to vested performance rights and/or
vested options. The Board may implement any procedure it considers appropriate,
including entering into arrangements with the Company’s share registry, to enforce
the disposal restrictions and restrict the participant from dealing with any relevant
shares for the restriction period.
Change of Control In the event of a Change of Control, unless the Board determines otherwise in its
absolute discretion, all unvested performance rights and unvested options will vest
on a pro rata basis based on the proportion of the performance period in respect
of those unvested performance rights and unvested options which has elapsed at
the date of the Change of Control.
