Voting Information
Voting by Corporate Representative
A shareholder or proxy which is a corporation and entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting may appoint an individual to act as its corporate representative to vote at the Meeting.
The appointment must comply with section 250D of the Corporations Act. The representative should send evidence of his or her appointment to the Company Secretary ([email protected]) by 1.30pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, 21 October 2025 .
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 and 3 in accordance with this express authority provided by you, the Chair will vote in favour of Resolutions 2 and 3. 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 and 3, he or she will not vote your proxy on that item of business.

Explanatory Memorandum
8. Resolution 3: Approval for the grant of FY26 Performance Rights to the Executive Chair & CEO under the LTIP
8.1 Explanation
Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval for the grant of FY26 Performance Rights under the LTIP to Mr McKay, the Company’s Executive Chair & CEO, as the long term incentive component of his total remuneration for FY26.
8.2 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.
8.3 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 FY26 Performance Rights by way of issuing new Shares or acquiring Shares on‑market.
Accordingly, shareholders are asked to approve the grant of FY26 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 FY26 Performance Rights which are the subject of this Resolution 3 will be granted to Mr McKay as soon as practicable following the Meeting, and in any event within 3 years of the date of the Meeting.
Approval of Resolution 3 will also result in the FY26 Performance Rights being included as an exception to the approval requirements of Listing Rule 7.1. This means that the FY26 Performance Rights granted to the Executive Chair & CEO, and any other Shares issued pursuant to this approval, will not deplete the 15% limit available under Listing Rule 7.1.
8.4 Terms of performance rights
If the applicable performance hurdles are met, each FY26 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 FY26 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 FY26 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 FY26 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 8.9 below.
- Market value of shares as at a given date means the volume weighted average trading price ( VWAP ) of Bapcor shares traded on the ASX in the 10 trading days immediately following the release of the Company’s FY25 financial results, or any other valuation methodology approved by the Board.
15
Bapcor Limited Annual General Meeting 2025
8.5 Number of FY26 Performance Rights proposed to be granted and value attributed
Mr McKay will be granted performance rights for his FY26 long term incentive ( FY26 Performance Rights ), which will be calculated based on the maximum face value of his FY26 grant ($4,750,000), being his LTI opportunity for FY26 at 250% of his total fixed remuneration.
The actual number of FY26 Performance Rights to be granted will be determined by dividing the maximum face value of Mr McKay’s FY26 grant ($4,750,000) by the 10‑day VWAP of the Company’s Shares traded on the ASX in the 10 trading days immediately following the release of the Company’s FY25 financial results, rounded down to the nearest whole number.
By way of example, if the 10‑day VWAP of the Company’s Shares traded over this period is $4.00, then Mr McKay would be granted 1,187,500 FY26 Performance Rights.
8.6 Performance Period
The performance period will be 3 years from 1 July 2025 to 30 June 2028 ( Performance Period ).
8.7 Performance hurdles
The FY26 Performance Rights will Vest subject to the following performance hurdles:
-
(a) 50% of the FY26 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 2025 ( ASX 200 Index ) less Financials and Mining; and
-
(b) 50% of the FY26 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 2028 ( FY28 ).
16
Explanatory Memorandum
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 2025. 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 2025, 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 FY26 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 Company has restructured the ROIC hurdle applicable to performance rights granted from FY25, to ensure a realistic performance target for executives. Consistent with the restructure, the ROIC percentage hurdle for the FY26 Performance Rights will be based on ROIC measured over FY28, calculated as: ROIC % hurdle = FY28 pro‑forma earnings before interest (after tax) FY28 Average Invested Capital FY28 Average Invested Capitalis calculated as the average of: |
(i) Bapcor’s FY28 opening net equity plus net debt; and
(ii) Bapcor’s FY28 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 FY26 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.
17
Bapcor Limited Annual General Meeting 2025
8.8 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.
8.9 Restriction Period
To the extent that the Performance Rights Vest, Mr McKay will be prohibited from the sale, transfer or dealing of the underlying Shares for a period of 12 months from the Vesting date.
8.10 Change of Control
Mr McKay commenced with the Company as Executive Chair & CEO on 22 August 2024. As detailed in the Notice for the Company’s 2024 AGM (lodged with ASX on 17 September 2024), under Mr McKay’s Service Agreement, if there is a Change of Control of Bapcor in the financial years ending 30 June 2025 ( FY25 ) or 30 June 2026 ( FY26 ), his FY25 Performance Rights ( FY25 LTIP ) and FY26 Performance Rights ( FY26 LTIP ) will Vest as follows:
(a) if a Change of Control occurred in FY25 (which it did not), no less than 150% of his total fixed remuneration as at his commencement date, being $2,850,000, would have Vested ( COC Entitlement ); and
-
(b) if a Change of Control occurs in FY26:
-
(i) the FY26 Performance Rights 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 which has elapsed as at the date of the Change of Control; and
-
(ii) a portion of the COC Entitlement will Vest such that, together with the value of the FY26 Performance Rights Vested in accordance with section 8.10(b)(i) above, the total dollar amount Vested under his FY25 LTIP and the FY26 LTIP will be equal to the amount Vested under the COC Entitlement.
If the Change of Control occurs in the financial year ending 30 June 2027 or 30 June 2028, any unvested FY26 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.
8.11 Other Terms
Mr McKay will receive the FY26 Performance Rights at no cost. The FY26 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 FY26 Performance Rights prior to Vesting. However, Mr McKay may receive Additional Shares (calculated in accordance with section 8.4 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 FY26 Performance Rights.
8.12 CEO’s current total remuneration package
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, as above, in respect of FY25 and FY26, 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).
-
(c) Short term incentive: Mr McKay will not participate in the Company’s Short Term Incentive Plan.
-
(d) Sign‑on bonus: Mr McKay received a one‑off sign‑on bonus in the form of sign‑on rights, as approved by shareholders at the Company’s 2024 AGM.
18
Explanatory Memorandum
8.13 Other information
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 FY26 Performance Rights) is consistent with the Board’s objectives of driving a sustainable business, growing shareholder value and retaining talented executives.
Following shareholder approval at the Company’s 2024 AGM, Mr McKay received, under the LTIP, 216,056 performance rights on 24 October 2024, and 942,086 performance rights on 1 November 2024 (total of 1,158,142 performance rights).Mr McKay has not received any other securities under the LTIP.
A summary of the material terms of the LTIP is set out in Annexure A of this explanatory memorandum.
Details of the FY26 Performance Rights issued to Mr McKay under the LTIP will be published in the Company’s Annual Report relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
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.
8.14 What happens if shareholder approval is not obtained?
If shareholder approval is not obtained for Resolution 3, the performance 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.
8.15 Voting Exclusion
A voting exclusion statement applies to this Resolution 3, as set out in the Notice.
8.16 Board Recommendation
Mr McKay abstains from making a voting recommendation on Resolution 3 as it relates to a grant of performance rights to him. The other Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.
8.17 Chair’s available proxies
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3.

Bapcor Limited Annual General Meeting 2025
9. Resolution 4: Renewal of Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions
9.1 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.
The proportional takeover bid provisions set out in rule 14 of the Company’s Constitution were last renewed by shareholders of the Company at the 2022 Annual General Meeting for a period of three years. In accordance with the Corporations Act and the Constitution, rule 14 will cease to have effect on 19 October 2025, being three years from the date of the 2019 Annual General Meeting.
Accordingly, it is appropriate to consider renewing the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions by reinserting rule 14, in the form last approved by shareholders at the 2022 Annual General Meeting, for a further three years with effect from the date of the Meeting.
9.2 What is a Proportional Takeover Bid?
A Proportional Takeover Bid is a takeover offer sent to each shareholder for only a specified portion 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 portion 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.
9.3 Effect of the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions
The effect of the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions in rule 14 of the Constitution is that the Directors 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 by 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.
20
Explanatory Memorandum
9.4 Knowledge of Proportional Takeover Bids
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.
9.5 Potential advantages and disadvantages of the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions for both the Directors and shareholders
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.
(a) 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.
(b) Potential advantages and disadvantages to shareholders
The potential advantages of the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions for shareholders include that the provisions:
-
(i) provide the right for shareholders to meet and decide, by majority vote, whether to accept a Proportional Takeover Bid;
-
(ii) 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;
-
(iii) potentially increase the shareholders’ bargaining power and may help ensure that any bid is adequately priced; and
-
(iv) 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.
The potential disadvantages of the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions for shareholders include that the provisions:
-
(v) may potentially discourage the making of Proportional Takeover Bids for shares in the Company; and
-
(vi) 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.
(c) Review of advantages and disadvantages of provisions during period prior to renewal
Section 648G(5) 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 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 the period during which the provisions have already been in effect, up until the date of this Notice, the general advantages and disadvantages laid out above applied to the Proportional Takeover Bid Provisions.
21
Bapcor Limited Annual General Meeting 2025
9.6 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.
9.7 Board Recommendation
The Board 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 Resolution 4.
9.8 Chair’s available proxies
The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.
