EXPLANATORY NOTES ON AGENDA ITEMS
Financial and other reports
The Company is required by the Corporations Act to table the Financial Report and the Reports of the Directors and the Auditors for the year ended 30 June 2021. Shareholders are not required to vote on these reports but will have an opportunity to raise questions on the Reports and on the performance of the Company generally at the Meeting.
Resolution 1 – Re-election of Director – Mr Neil Cathie
Mr Cathie is due to retire from the Board in accordance with the Company’s Constitution, but, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
Mr Cathie was last re-elected at the Annual General Meeting in 2018.
Mr Cathie was appointed Chairman of the Company in January 2015. He has extensive experience in very relevant areas including having a 27 year career at Australia’s largest and most successful plumbing and bathroom distributor, ASX listed Reece Limited, during which time he served as its Chief Financial Officer, Company Secretary and General Manager, Finance and IT.
Mr Cathie is a non-executive director of Experience Co. Ltd (since 2019) and was a non-executive director of Millennium Services Group Ltd from 16 October 2018 to 7 March 2019. He is also an independent Board advisor at a number of private companies.
The Board (with Mr Cathie abstaining in respect of his own re-election) unanimously recommends Shareholders approve the re-election of Mr Cathie as a Director of the Company.
Resolution 2 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
The Corporations Act requires listed companies to make expanded disclosure in respect of director and executive information. As a result, the Directors' Report must include a section called the "Remuneration Report". This report is set out in the 2021 Annual Report. Additionally, the Corporations Act requires listed companies to put the Remuneration Report, for each financial year, to a vote of members at the Company's Annual General Meeting.
In summary, the Remuneration Report:
-
explains the principles used to determine the nature and amount of remuneration of Key Management Personnel ("KMPs"). The KMPs are the persons who have authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company and Group and comprise the Directors of the Company and certain executives of the Company and Group;
-
sets out details of any performance conditions applicable to the remuneration of KMPs;
-
sets out the remuneration details for KMPs of the Company; and
-
sets out the particulars of short-term and long-term incentives and key employment terms of the relevant KMPs.
Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the Board unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.
Key Management Personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report, and their closely related parties, are prohibited from voting on Resolution 2, except in the circumstances described in the voting exclusion statement set out in the Notice.
Coventry Group Ltd – 2021 Notice of Annual General Meeting

Under section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. The “two strikes” rule in the Corporations Act, 250V, provides that if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution are voted against adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings, shareholders will have the opportunity to vote on a spill resolution at the second of those Annual General Meetings.
The Company is not currently subject to a “first strike” as laid out in 250U of the Corporations Act. A reasonable opportunity will be provided for discussion of the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.
Resolution 3 - Grant of Performance Rights to Mr Robert Bulluss
Background
Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of Performance Rights to Mr Robert Bulluss, the Company’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.
Purpose of Shareholder approval
The Company is required by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 to obtain shareholder approval to grant securities, including Performance Rights, to Mr Bulluss under the Plan.
Mr Bulluss’ total remuneration includes a Plan award, which is delivered through a grant of Performance Rights. Accordingly, the Company is seeking approval to grant Performance Rights to Mr Bulluss for his participation in the Plan for FY22.
If shareholder approval is obtained, the Performance Rights, the subject of Resolution 3, will be granted to Mr Bulluss as soon as practicable 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. If shareholder approval is obtained for Resolution 2, approval is not required for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
In accordance with the requirements of ASX Listing Rule 10.15 and for all other purposes, further details in respect of Resolution 2 are provided below.
| Persons to whom securities are proposed to be issued |
Mr Robert Bulluss Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of the Company |
|---|---|
| Number and class of securities proposed to be issued |
163,617 Performance Rights The maximum face value of the CEO’s FY22 grant is $232,500 based on the LTI opportunity of 50% of his fixed annual remuneration of $465,000. The number of Performance Rights to be granted is determined by dividing the maximum value by the 10- day volume weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s shares preceding the start of the performance period, being the 10 trading days up to and including 30 June 2021. Based on a VWAP of $1.421, the maximum number of Performance Rights to be granted under Resolution 3 is163,617. |

| Number of securities previously issued to the person under the scheme and the average acquisition price paid for those securities (if any) |
In relation to Performance Period ended 30 June 2020 and as approved by shareholders: Performance Rights Granted 297,100 Performance Rights vested as determined by the Board to be exercised into shares over 3 years 98,934 Performance Rights forfeited 198,166 In relation to Performance Period ended 30 June 2021 and as approved by shareholders: Performance Rights Granted 418,535 Vested Performance Rights as determined by the Board 139,512 Unvested Performance Rights subject to a Continuing Employment Condition 279,023 Performance Rights forfeited 0 |
| Summary of the material terms of the securities |
The Board considers Performance Rights remains the most appropriate form of employee incentive plan, as it: provides appropriate level of reward to eligible employees for achieving certain performance objectives; better aligns Company’s remuneration structure with that of its market competitors in order to attract, motivate, retain and reward key Company executives; and better aligns the interests of the Company’s executives and Directors with shareholders in the medium to long term. Each Performance Right entitles Mr Bulluss to acquire one fully paid ordinary share in the Company if the applicable performance hurdles are met, subject to Board discretion. The Performance Rights will be granted on the same terms as Performance Rights granted to other executives participating in the Plan for FY22. |
| Date of issue | Immediately following shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting, but no later than 12 months after the date of the meeting. |
| Price at which the securities be issued | No consideration is payable at the time of grant of the Performance Rights issued to Mr Bulluss or for the issue or transfer of shares upon vesting of those Performance Rights. |
| Material terms of the scheme | The Performance Rights proposed to be issued to Mr Bulluss will be granted in accordance with the terms of the Plan. These include specific terms that relate to the treatment of those rights on cessation of employment, |

| on a change of control in the Company and the adjustment of the terms in certain prescribed circumstances. A copy of the Plan is available at https://www.cgl.com.au/index.php/investors/corporate- governance |
|
|---|---|
| Performance Period | Financial year from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022 (FY22) |
| Performance Conditions | 1. 65% of awards under the Plan are based on the Group achieving internal Group budgeted EBITDA subject to Board discretion. 2. 35% of awards under the Plan are based on the performance of the Coventry share price as measured over the performance period against the ASX Small Ords index. Due to the high level of pandemic uncertainty, the Company is not providing FY22 earnings guidance. In relation to condition 1, the Board’s best view of what might occur in FY22 is subjective and does not lend itself to setting and disclosing fair, reasonable and robust absolute targets. The Board therefore intends to view EBITDA performance in relation to the Plan on a quarter by quarter basis. It fully expects to exercise its discretion in relation to the vesting of Performance Rights for FY22 as it has done for the past two Performance Periods and as provided for in the Plan. |
| Employment Condition | 100% of the Performance Rights are subject to on- going employment obligations. |
| Vesting | Continuity of employment is a key element of the l Performance Rights. If the Performance Conditions have been met, the Performance Rights will vest in 3 separate vesting events over 3 years in equal lots. Any Performance Right that does not vest in accordance with the Plan will automatically lapse unless otherwise determined by the Board in its absolute discretion. Shares allocated to Mr Bulluss upon exercise of his Performance Rights will rank equally with other shares on issue. No dividends will be payable on the Performance Rights prior to vesting. |
| Material terms of any loan (if applicable) | No loans have been or will be made by the Company in connection with Performance Rights proposed to be granted to Mr Bulluss. |

| No funds were or will be raised through the grant of Performance Rights to Mr Bulluss or on the conversion of those rights into shares. |
|
|---|---|
| A voting exclusion statement | Included in the Notice of Meeting. |
Mr Bulluss is the only person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 to participate in the Plan. Any additional people referred to in Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Plan after the resolution is approved and who were not named in the notice of meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under that rule.
Details of any securities issued under the Plan will be published in the Annual Report relating to the period in which the securities were issued along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
Board Recommendation
The Board (with Mr Bulluss abstaining in respect to the grant of Performance Rights to him) unanimously recommends Shareholders approve the granting of Performance Rights to Mr Robert Bulluss.

APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
