Article 70(b) provides that a retiring director is eligible for re-election without needing to give any prior notice of an interest to submit for re-election and shall hold office as a director until the end of the AGM at which the director retires.
Accordingly, at this AGM, Mr Rex Wood-Ward and Ms Katherine Ostin are obliged to retire in accordance with Article 70 and 68 of Capral's Constitution and Listing Rule 14.4 and are eligible for re-election. If shareholders do not approve the re-election of Mr Wood-Ward or Ms Ostin then they will cease to be directors at the end of the AGM.
Brief biographical details for each of Mr Wood-Ward and Ms Ostin are set out below and additional information is provided in Capral's 2020 Annual Report.

A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the AGM, in accordance with section 250SA of the Corporations Act.
Non-binding resolution on Remuneration Report
The resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report is advisory only and will not bind the directors or Capral, however, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing remuneration practices and policies.
Resolution 4. Issue of Share Rights to Mr Anthony Dragicevich
Mr Dragicevich was appointed to the Board on 15 April 2013.
The Board values the contribution of Mr Dragicevich and considers it to be in the best interests of Capral to align Capral's Managing Director with the interests of shareholders and retain his services.
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval by ordinary resolution before a director can be issued securities under an employee incentive scheme.
Shareholder approval is sought for the issue of Share Rights to Mr Dragicevich under Capral's Long Term Incentive Plan 2021. Specific details of the proposed issue are set out below.
A Share Right is a right to be issued one Capral ordinary share (Share) for nil exercise price upon the satisfaction of certain vesting conditions. 1 Share Right converts into 1 Share upon vesting.
The Board, in its discretion, may satisfy some or all of the Share Rights by acquiring existing Shares rather than issuing new Shares.
Number of Share Rights and Issue Price
If Resolution 4 is passed, then, subject to obtaining shareholder approval, Capral will issue up to 86,400 Share Rights to Mr Dragicevich for nil consideration.
The Share Rights are subject to continuous service requirements and vesting criteria over a three-year performance period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2023.
Timing of grant and vesting
The grant date of the Share Rights will be on or about the date of shareholder approval, but in any event no later than 12 months after the AGM. The vesting date of the Share Rights will be 1 March 2024 (subject to satisfaction of the continuous service requirements and the vesting criteria).
Vesting conditions
Vesting of the Share Rights is subject to Mr Dragicevich remaining employed at Capral on the vesting date and the following performance hurdles:
- » 50% of the Share Rights are subject to an Earnings Per Share (EPS) performance condition; and
- » 50% of the Share Rights are subject to a Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance condition.
EPS performance condition
An EPS target is set each year based on the Net Profit After Tax Target specified by the Board (adjusted for any extraordinary items approved by the Board) divided by the weighted average number of securities on issue during the year.
The Net Profit After Tax Target used for this condition is set at least at minimum Budget level. The Board may adjust EPS to exclude the effects of material business acquisitions or divestments and certain one-off items. Adjustments would be disclosed.
Performance is measured over three years and tested every year. For the Share Rights to vest, actual performance over the three-year performance period must meet, in aggregate, the three annual targets combined (even if the target in any individual year(s) is not met) as set out below:
| EPS TARGET RANGE | % RIGHTS VESTING |
|---|---|
| More than 5% below target | None |
| 5% below target | 50 |
| Between 5% below target to 10% above target |
Between 50 and 100 (pro rata) |
| 10% above target and higher | 100 |
TSR performance condition
The TSR performance condition is measured against entities with ordinary shares and units (as the case may be) included in the S&P/ASX All Ordinaries Index as at 1 January 2020 but excluding those companies who are classified in the Global Industry Classification Standard sector number 40.
The number of Share Rights subject to the TSR performance condition which may vest will be determined by comparing Capral's TSR against the TSR of each member of this comparator group over the three year performance period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2023, and the percentile position of Capral within that comparator group as set out below:
| PERCENTILE OF TSR | % RIGHTS VESTING |
|---|---|
| Less than 50th | None |
| 50th | 50 |
| More than 50th less than 75th | Between 50 and 100 (pro rata) |
| 75th and higher | 100 |
Treatment of Share Rights on cessation of employment
The Share Rights will lapse on termination of Mr Dragicevich's employment except in special circumstances (such as death, permanent disability and redundancy) where the Board retains discretion, and then when determining the number of Share Rights that vest, having regard to his performance up until the termination date and the proportion of the unexpired performance period.
Clawback
The Board has discretion to forfeit some or all of the Share Rights and recover some or all Shares issued on vesting of the Share Rights in certain circumstances, including in the event of fraud, material misstatement or misrepresentation of Capral's financial results.
Dividend rights
Share Rights confer no rights to dividends or other distributions, or to participate in a new offer of shares unless and until the Share Rights have vested and Shares are issued by Capral.
Change of control
If there is a change of control, the Board has discretion to convert all or any Share Rights to Shares whether or not Performance Conditions have been met.

A summary of the material terms of the Share Rights are included above in this Explanatory memorandum.
The Share Rights are being issued to incentivise Mr Dragicevich to deliver the Company's growth strategy and drive financial performance in the interests of shareholders. The Board is satisfied that Mr Dragicevich's remuneration arrangements are competitive relative to ASX market and industry peers.
- » The value that the Company attributes to the Share Rights being issued is \$375,500 and is calculated using the 12-month Volume Weighted Average Price (VWAP) on 1 January 2021.
- » A voting exclusion statement is set out under the wording of Resolution 4 in this notice of meeting.
Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a 15% cap on the number of equity securities that can be issued by Capral without approval of shareholders in any rolling twelve-month period. However, Capral can exclude from the calculation of the 15% limit any securities issued in reliance on an exception to Listing Rule 7.1 or with the approval of shareholders.
If Resolution 4 is passed, any Share Rights and any Shares issued on vesting of those rights will be excluded from the calculation of the 15% limit in reliance on Exception 14 in Listing Rule 7.2.
Accelerated vesting and potential termination benefit
As noted above, the Share Rights may vest on an accelerated basis in certain circumstances. The accelerated vesting of the Share Rights in these circumstances may be considered a retirement benefit.
Section 200B of the Corporations Act requires Capral to obtain shareholder approval before giving a benefit to a director in connection with the director's retirement from office unless the benefit falls within certain exceptions set out in the Corporations Act. A payment will only fall within those exceptions if the amount is less than a prescribed multiple of the director's base remuneration and if the nature of the payment falls within one of the categories set out in the Corporations Act. It is unlikely that these exemptions would apply.
Capral therefore seeks shareholder approval under section 200E of the Corporations Act to enable it to provide these benefits if it chooses.
The total value of the termination benefits that may accrue to Mr Dragicevich will depend on the market price of Capral Shares at the time the Share Rights vest.
Effect of not approving issue of the Share Rights
If shareholders do not approve the proposed issue of Share Rights to Mr Dragicevich under Resolution 4, the proposed award of Share Rights to him will not proceed and the Board will need to consider alternative remuneration arrangements.
The Board considers it to be important for Capral to be able to offer the Share Rights to the Managing Director as they are in line with market practice and ensure that Capral can attract and retain the right talent and align Mr Dragicevich's interests with those of shareholders.
Director recommendation
The Board (with Mr Dragicevich abstaining) considers that the award of Share Rights to Mr Dragicevich is an appropriate incentive which is in the best interests of Capral and recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
