1 TERMINOLOGY AND DEFINITIONS
Terms which are defined in the respective constitutions of the Company or the Trust (Constitution, as the context requires for either the Company or the Trust) or the Corporations Act (as relevant) have the same meaning when used in this Notice of Meeting (and in the Explanatory Memorandum that accompanies and forms part of this Notice of Meeting) unless the context requires otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, a reference in this Notice of Meeting or the Explanatory Memorandum to a 'Securityholder' is to the registered holder of a Stapled Security in the Group.
2 QUORUM
The Constitution of the Company provides that a quorum of Shareholders for a general meeting of the Company is Shareholders (present in person, by proxy, by attorney or by body corporate representative) holding not less than 5% of the votes that may be cast at the general meeting. No business may be transacted at the general meeting unless a quorum of Shareholders is present at the commencement of business.
The Constitution of the Trust provides that a quorum of unitholders for a general meeting of the Trust is three unitholders (present in person, by proxy, by attorney or by body corporate representative) and the quorum must be present at all times during the meeting.
In the case of either the Company or the Trust, if a quorum is not present within 30 minutes after the time appointed for the meeting, the meeting will be adjourned in accordance with the respective Constitution. If a quorum is not present within 30 minutes after the time appointed for the adjourned meeting, the meeting will be dissolved.
3 VOTING
The Directors of the Company and the Directors of CPSL (Board), as the responsible entity of the Trust, have determined that, for the purposes of the Meeting, Stapled Securities will be taken to be held by the persons who are registered as a Securityholder at 7.00pm AEDT on Monday 30 October 2023. Accordingly, transfers registered after this time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.
Under the Corporations Act and the Constitutions, a resolution put to a vote at a meeting is to be decided by a show of hands unless a poll is properly demanded, subject to the Corporations Act. A poll may be demanded before a vote on a resolution is taken, before the voting results on a show of hands are declared or immediately after the voting results on a show of hands are declared. A poll may be demanded by:
- at least five Securityholders present at the Meeting and entitled to vote on the resolution;
- Securityholders present with at least 5% of the votes that may be cast on the resolution on a poll; or
- the Chair.
In accordance with the Corporations Act, voting on each Resolution set out in this Notice of Meeting will be conducted by a poll. This is despite anything in the Constitution.
A Securityholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes on a poll need not cast all their votes and may cast their votes in different ways. On a poll, each Securityholder has:
- a. in the case of a resolution of the Company, one vote for each fully paid Share held by the Securityholder; and
- b. In the case of a resolution of the Trust, one vote for each dollar value of the total units held by the Securityholder.
On a show of hands, each Securityholder has one vote.
In the case of Stapled Securities held by joint holders, only the vote of the joint holder whose name appears first in the register will be accepted.
4 ATTENDING ONLINE
Securityholders using the online platform at https://meetings.linkgroup.com/CMW2023 will be able to vote directly through the online platform at any time between the commencement of the Meeting (2.00pm AEST on Wednesday 1 November 2023) and the closure of voting as announced by the Chair during the Meeting.
Securityholders are encouraged to login to the online platform at least 15 minutes prior to the scheduled start time for the Meeting using the instructions below:
- enter the link https://meetings.linkgroup.com/CMW2023 into a web browser on a mobile device or online device;
- Securityholders will need their Securityholder Reference Number (SRN) or Holder Identification Number (HIN), which can be found on your holding statement; and
- if you are a proxyholder, you will need your proxy code which Link Market Services Limited will email to you during the 24 hours prior to the Meeting.
More information about online participation at the Meeting (including how to vote and ask questions online during the Meeting) is available in the Online Guide available at www.cromwellpropertygroup.com/agm.
5 CORPORATE REPRESENTATIVES AND POWERS OF ATTORNEY
A corporate Securityholder may elect to appoint a representative (rather than a proxy) to vote, in accordance with the Corporations Act. Corporate representatives are required to bring an original or certified copy of their appointment as a representative to the Meeting, or provide it to the registry or both the Company and CPSL (as responsible entity of the Trust) before the Meeting commences. A form of the certificate of appointment may be obtained from the Group's registry.
If a proxy form is signed under a power of attorney on behalf of a Securityholder, then the proxy form and either the original power of attorney or a certified copy of it must be lodged and received by mail, hand or fax at the address or fax number (in the case of a certified copy) listed in section 9 of this Notice of Meeting not later than 2.00pm AEST on Monday 30 October 2023. A proxy form signed under a power of attorney on behalf of a Securityholder cannot be lodged online.
Proof of identity will be required to be presented at the Meeting for corporate representatives and attorneys.
6 PROXIES
Each Securityholder has the right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote for them. The proxy will have the same rights to speak, to vote (but only to the extent allowed by the appointment) and to join in a demand for a poll at the Meeting. The proxy does not need to be a Securityholder and may be an individual or a body corporate. If you do not plan to attend the Meeting in person, you are encouraged to complete and return the proxy form which accompanies this Notice of Meeting by either mail, fax or by hand or alternatively, where you will not be appointing a person under a power of attorney to sign a proxy form on your behalf, lodge your proxy appointment electronically at https://investorcentre.linkgroup.com.
A Securityholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes on a poll may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is entitled to exercise. If you do not specify a proportion or number, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. Fractions will be disregarded. If you appoint two proxies to vote, neither proxy can vote on a show of hands. On a poll, each proxy can only exercise votes in respect of those Stapled Securities or voting rights the proxy represents.
If the same person (such as the Chair) is appointed as proxy for two or more Securityholders and those Securityholders have specified different ways for the proxy to vote on an item of business, then the proxy is not entitled to vote (as proxy) on a show of hands on that item.
A proxy may decide whether or not to vote on any item of business or other motion at the Meeting, except where the proxy is required by law or the Company's or the Trust's Constitution to vote or abstain from voting in their capacity as proxy. If the proxy's appointment directs the proxy how to vote on an item of business and the proxy decides to vote, the proxy may vote on that item only in accordance with the direction. If the proxy's appointment does not direct the proxy how to vote on an item of business or any other motion at the Meeting, the proxy may abstain or vote as they think fit on that item or motion.
If an appointment of a proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on a particular resolution at the Meeting and the appointed proxy does not attend the Meeting or does not vote on a poll on the resolution, then the Chair will be taken to have been appointed as the proxy of the relevant Securityholder in respect of the Meeting or the poll on that resolution, as applicable.
If you appoint a proxy, you may still attend the Meeting. Your proxy will not be able to speak, or vote, at the Meeting while you are present.
Please note that proxy forms and online proxy appointments must be received not later than 2.00pm AEST on Monday 30 October 2023. If a proxy form is signed under a power of attorney on behalf of a Securityholder, then the proxy form and either the original power of attorney or a certified copy of it must be lodged and received at the address or fax number (in the case of a certified copy) listed in section 9 of this Notice of Meeting. A proxy form signed under a power of attorney on behalf of a Securityholder cannot be lodged online.
7 HOW THE CHAIR WILL VOTE UNDIRECTED PROXIES
If a Securityholder appoints the Chair as the Securityholder's proxy and does not specify how the Chair is to vote on an item of business, the Chair intends to vote in favour of that item on a poll (subject to the other provisions of this Notice of Meeting, including any voting exclusions).
Cromwell encourages all Securityholders who submit proxies to direct their proxy how to vote on each resolution.
If you complete a proxy form or an online proxy appointment that authorises the Chair to vote on your behalf as a proxy, or the Chair is appointed as your proxy by default, and you do not mark any of the boxes so as to give the Chair directions about how your vote should be cast, then by completing and submitting the proxy form or online proxy appointment you will be expressly authorising the Chair to exercise the proxy in respect of the resolution, including Resolutions 4 and 5 even though these resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a KMP.
8 ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS
Each Resolution is an ordinary resolution. An ordinary resolution will be passed if more than 50% of the votes cast by or on behalf of Securityholders entitled to vote on the resolution are in favour.
9 LODGEMENT OF PROXIES
Proxy forms and online proxy appointments must be received not later than 2.00pm AEST on Monday 30 October 2023.
The appointment of a proxy (other than by a proxy form signed under a power of attorney on your behalf) must be received in one of the following ways:
- Online: lodge your proxy appointment online at https://investorcentre.linkgroup.com by following the instructions. You will need your SRN or HIN, which can be found on your holding statement.
- Mobile device: lodge your proxy appointment online by scanning the QR code on the back of the proxy form. To scan the code, you will need a QR code reader application which can be downloaded for free on your mobile device. You will need your SRN or HIN and postcode for your securityholding.

11 TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES
Technical difficulties may arise during the Meeting. The Chair has discretion as to whether and how the Meeting should proceed if a technical difficulty arises.

For this reason, Securityholders are encouraged to lodge a directed proxy prior to the Meeting, even if they plan to attend the Meeting online.

INFORMATION RELEVANT TO RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3: CROMWELL BOARD SKILLS MATRIX AND DIVERSITY INFORMATION
Board Skills Matrix
The Board reviews, on a regular basis, the mix of skills, experience, independence, knowledge and diversity represented by Directors on the Board and determines whether the composition and mix remain appropriate for Cromwell's purpose and strategic objectives and whether they cover the skills needed to address existing and emerging business and governance issues relevant to Cromwell Property Group.
The Board has adopted a Board Skills Matrix, which sets out the collective skills and attributes of the Board. The following table outlines detailed descriptions of the experience and skills represented by the current composition of the Board, and considered by the Board as desirable. The Board regularly reviews and updates its Board Skills Matrix to reflect the strategy and direction of Cromwell Property Group. The Board assesses the extent to which each skill is represented on the Board, with Cromwell Directors rating their skills as 'well-developed' (strong working knowledge and experience) or 'developed' (solid working knowledge and some experience). As shown in the table, all skills in the Board Skills Matrix are well represented on the Board as a whole.
The Board considers that its current members have an appropriate mix of skills, personal attributes and experience that allows the Directors individually, and the Board collectively, to discharge their duties effectively and efficiently. The Board comprises individuals who understand the business of the Group and the environment in which it operates and who can effectively assess management's performance in meeting agreed objectives and goals.

- an outline of the Group's remuneration strategy and governance; and
- information about Cromwell's performance and FY23 remuneration outcomes.
Letter from the Chair, Nomination and Remuneration Committee

Ms Tanya Cox Chair, Nomination and Remuneration Committee
On behalf of the Board, I am pleased to present the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2023.
PERFORMANCE AND REMUNERATION OUTCOMES
As detailed in my letter last year, Cromwell's transition to Fund Manager will span multiple financial years and 2023 saw continued progression towards that goal through the sale of noncore assets.
Significant progress has been made in the internal cultural shift which is core to the achievement of the strategy. Cromwell's new corporate values were defined early in the financial year, through an extensive consultative exercise with the global business to ensure the values resonated with our people as well as our purpose. Cromwell's new values are Accountable, Progressive and Collaborative.
Cromwell has made significant progress towards its 40:40:20 gender diversity targets. At the executive level, the group has achieved 38.5% female representation, increasing from 30% in FY22. The Australian Executive Committee has achieved the target with 44.4% female representation and overall the target has been achieved at 4 of 5 management levels in the Australian business. Over the last 2 years Cromwell has significantly reduced its gender pay gap, but there is still work to be done here, which the CEO and board are committed to continuously progressing. Board and committee composition also maintains its 40:40:20 representation.
The KMP STI Plan had a financial gateway of 90% of the Operating Earnings budget and this hurdle was met. The CEO and CFO earned 50% of their potential incentive award, in line with performance against KPIs.
As disclosed in the FY22 Remuneration report, the KMP LTI Plan hurdles were amended effective 1 July 2022, resulting in only two hurdles for FY23, being Relative Total Securityholder Return (Relative TSR) and Return on Invested Capital (ROIC). The Relative TSR hurdle remains unchanged from previous years, weighted at 50%. The ROIC hurdle has been set at the 10-year bond rate, on the day of grant, plus 300 basis points. Both hurdles are tested at the end of the three-year period and will remain unchanged in 2024.
The Board has considered the impact of a falling security price on the volume of LTI allocations and has decided not to adjust the allocations. Similarly, the Board does not adjust LTI allocations in a rising market or exercise discretion over vesting outcomes when a falling security price impacts vesting.
FY24 APPROACH TO REMUNERATION
KMP Remuneration will remain unchanged in FY24. As noted above, the Committee amended the KMP LTI Plan hurdles in 2022, from three equally weighted targets to two. In June 2023, the Committee considered the base salaries of both executive and non-executive KMP and determined that no increase would be awarded.
NON-EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR REMUNERATION
During FY23 the structure of the Board Committees was reviewed. Cognisant of increased investor focus on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues and the materiality of those issues to real estate investment trusts, a combined ESG and Risk Committee was established, to ensure all matters under these areas receive appropriate attention. The previous Audit and Risk committee was converted to an Audit Committee.
Yours sincerely,
Ms Tanya Cox Chair, Nomination and Remuneration Committee
The Board is motivated to ensure the remuneration strategy and framework reflect the Group's strategy, attract and retain key personnel and reflect Securityholder and stakeholder feedback.
The Nomination and Remuneration Committee is heavily involved in the continuous review of the remuneration strategy and framework, disclosure and outcomes. Any material changes will be clearly disclosed and communicated in the relevant year's remuneration report and notice of annual general meeting.
In considering the report, Securityholders should note that the Directors of the Company are the same as those of CPSL, the responsible entity of the Trust.
Securityholders will be asked to vote at the Annual General Meeting on Resolution 4 to adopt the Remuneration Report.
Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 4 at the Annual General Meeting are against adoption of the report then:
- a. if comments are made on the report at the Annual General Meeting, the Company's Remuneration Report for the financial year ending 30 June 2024 will be required to include an explanation of the Board's proposed action in response or, if no action is proposed, the Board's reasons for this; and
- b. if, at the Company's 2024 Annual General Meeting, at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution for adoption of the remuneration report for the relevant financial year are against its adoption, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders a resolution proposing that a General Meeting (Spill Meeting) be called to consider the election of the Company's Directors (Spill Resolution). The Spill Meeting must be held within 90 days of the date of the Company's 2024 Annual General Meeting. For any Spill Resolution to be passed, more than 50% of the votes cast on the resolution must be in favour of it. If a Spill Resolution is passed, all of the Company's Directors (other than the Managing Director) will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting, unless re-elected at that meeting.
Under the Corporations Act, the vote on this Resolution 4 is advisory only and will not bind the Directors of the Company or the Company. However, the Board will consider the outcome of the vote when reviewing its remuneration policy and make appropriate recommendations to the Group.
Directors' recommendation
The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote IN FAVOUR of this non-binding Resolution 4.
RESOLUTION 5 – APPROVAL OF PERFORMANCE RIGHTS GRANT TO THE MANAGING DIRECTOR AND CEO
The Board is seeking the approval of Securityholders for the grant of 1,913,983 performance rights (Performance Rights) under the Cromwell Property Group Performance Rights Plan (PRP) to the Group Chief Executive Officer (Group CEO) and Managing Director, Mr Jonathan Callaghan. This grant constitutes Mr Callaghan's long-term incentive (LTI) opportunity for FY24.
Why is Securityholder approval being sought?
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, no director can acquire securities under an employee incentive scheme without securityholder approval. Performance Rights under the PRP constitute 'securities' for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules. In accordance with the rules of operation of the PRP (PRP Rules), one Stapled Security will be issued for each Performance Right exercised. The PRP is an 'employee incentive scheme' for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules.
However, Securityholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 is not required in relation to this grant as any securities allocated to Mr Callaghan as an LTI award under the PRP will not be issued by the Group but will be acquired onmarket. Regardless, the Board wishes to seek Securityholder approval of this grant in recognition of the importance of Securityholder engagement on key remuneration issues, such as remuneration of the Group CEO.
If approved by Securityholders, the Group intends to grant the Performance Rights to Mr Callaghan by 30 November 2023, but in any event, by no later than one year after the date of the Meeting. If Securityholders do not approve the grant of the Performance Rights at the Meeting, the Board will consider alternative arrangements to appropriately remunerate and incentivise Mr Callaghan, subject to the same performance and service conditions outlined below.
Mr Callaghan's total remuneration package
Mr Callaghan's remuneration includes a fixed cash component, an at-risk cash incentive component calculated based on performance against short-term performance metrics (STI), and an at-risk equity component calculated based on performance against long-term performance metrics (LTI). The purpose of LTI remuneration for key management personnel (KMP) such as Mr Callaghan is to reward long-term performance, encourage the retention of Stapled Securities in the Group and align their interests with that of long-term value creation for Securityholders. The LTI component of Mr Callaghan's remuneration is currently paid through his participation in the PRP.
Mr Callaghan's total maximum remuneration package for FY24 is A\$2,700,000, comprising a fixed cash component of A\$1,000,000 (inclusive of superannuation), an A\$850,000 STI component and A\$850,000 in LTI.
What is the CEO's proposed FY24 LTI grant?
The approval being sought under Resolution 5 relates to the grant of Performance Rights in respect of the financial year ending 30 June 2024. The proposed FY24 grant of Performance Rights for Mr Callaghan is 1,913,983.
Securityholder approval is sought to permit the grant of A\$850,000 worth of Performance Rights in face value to Mr Callaghan under the PRP in aggregate for the financial year ended 30 June 2024. This grant represents 85% of Mr Callaghan's total fixed remuneration as at 1 July 2024. The number of Performance Rights granted is calculated under the Face Value Methodology, based on the VWAP of Cromwell's security price for the 10 days immediately succeeding the annual results announcement.
Mr Callaghan will be able to elect to take that value by participating in the PRP. It is proposed that these Performance Rights be granted within one year after the date of the Meeting.
For the Company, the value of Performance Rights granted under the PRP in each year will be calculated by reference to a recognised option pricing methodology which is acceptable under Australian accounting standards.
How was the number of Performance Rights calculated?
The following formula was used to calculate the number of Performance Rights to be granted to Mr Callaghan:
Performance Rights = 85% x A\$1,000,000 / VWAP of Cromwell's security price (\$0.4441)
Key terms of proposed grant
If Mr Callaghan decides to participate in the PRP, the number of Performance Rights that will be granted to Mr Callaghan, and the exercise conditions that must be satisfied in order for Mr Callaghan to exercise those Performance Rights, will be subject to performance measures that are set out in the 2023 Remuneration Report.
Performance measures
A summary of the key performance measures that are relevant to the exercise of such Performance Rights is set out below. Each of these key performance measures is measured over a three year period and is equally weighted against each other key performance measures. In respect of Performance Rights issued under Resolution 5, that three year period will commence as at 1 July 2023.
For each measure, 25% vests at the lower bound with straight line vesting to 100% at the maximum threshold.
| Key performance measure | Summary | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Return on Invested Capital | Tested at the end of 3-year performance period. | |||||
| (ROIC) | ROIC = (Dividend + increase in NTA)/opening NTA. | |||||
| 50% | Lower bound is 300bps above the 10-year bond rate (set at 6.7% on 1 July 2022) and the upper bound is 400bps above the 10-year bond rate (set at 7.7% on 1 July 2022). |
|||||
| Equity issues that significantly impact NTA will be considered, as well as significant write downs in intangible assets. |
||||||
| Relative Total Securityholder | Tested at the end of 3-year performance period. | |||||
| Return | Measured against the S&P/ASX300 A-REIT Accumulation Index on a percentile basis with | |||||
| 50% | 50th percentile lower bound and 75th percentile upper bound. Measured once over the measurement period. |
|||||
| Below Median – 0% vesting. |
Vesting
50% of any Stapled Securities granted to Mr Callaghan upon exercise of the Performance Rights will also become Restricted Securities and subject to restrictions on disposal, including a trading lock, for a period of one year. Any Restricted Securities will be entitled to distributions (but distributions will not be payable in respect of unexercised Performance Rights).
Change of control
In the event of a successful takeover of the Group (i.e. if a third party acquires over 50% of the Group's equity or obtains effective control over the Board), performance rights will be tested and will pro rata vest in line with achievement against performance measures.
Treatment of Group CEO's Performance Rights on cessation of employment
If an executive KMP is determined to be a good leaver deferred securities remain on foot. If an executive KMP is determined to be a bad leaver, all deferred securities are forfeit.
PRP Committee discretion and Claw Back criteria
The PRP Committee also has discretion to adjust the application of the key performance measures in situations where formulaic application is likely to produce an inappropriate remuneration outcome for Mr Callaghan. The PRP Committee may also 'claw back' Performance Rights and Restricted Securities that have been issued to Mr Callaghan under the PRP if (among other circumstances) the PRP Committee considers that Mr Callaghan has acted fraudulently, dishonestly or where there has been a material misstatement or omission in Cromwell's financial statements leading to the receipt by Mr Callaghan of an unfair benefit, or where Mr Callaghan fails to meet cultural related expectations including acting ethically and responsibly.
Prices of securities
Under the PRP Rules, if Mr Callaghan elects to participate in the PRP, the Exercise Price that will apply to the Performance Rights issued to him under the PRP will be set by the PRP Committee at the time of the offer. Performance Rights granted to Mr Callaghan in respect of the financial year ending 30 June 2024 (for which Securityholder approval is sought under Resolution 5) will have an Exercise Price of nil. Performance Rights granted under the PRP will be granted for no monetary consideration.
Further details of Mr Callaghan's remuneration for the financial year ending 30 June 2024 are set out in the 2023 Remuneration Report.
Maximum number of securities
The maximum number of Performance Rights that may be acquired by Mr Callaghan under the PRP in respect of the financial year ending 30 June 2024 (for which Securityholder approval is sought under Resolution 5), is no more than 1,913,983 Performance Rights.
Each Performance Right will be exercisable into one Stapled Security.
Issues made since last approval and in total
The number of Performance Rights previously granted to Mr Callaghan in total under the PRP is 1,789,641. The number of Stapled Securities issued following the exercise of Performance Rights granted has been zero.
Persons entitled to participate
The PRP Committee may, in its discretion, extend participation in the PRP to eligible employees of the Group and the Group's subsidiaries (including executive Directors of the Group) on satisfaction of certain criteria.
No Non-executive Director on the Board has participated in, or been issued Performance Rights under, the PRP and the Board does not expect this to change going forward. Should this change, Securityholder approval will be sought for any participation in the PRP prior to the commencement of such participation by Non-executive Directors.
Mr Jonathan Callaghan (Chief Executive Officer and the only executive Director of the Group) is entitled to participate in the PRP.
Grant date
If granted by the Group, Performance Rights under the PRP will be granted to Mr Callaghan within one year of the date of meeting.
Statements under ASX Listing Rule 10.15.11
Details of any Performance Rights issued under the PRP will be published in each annual report of the Group relating to a period in which Performance Rights have been issued, and the annual report will also confirm (if applicable) that approval for the issue of Performance Rights was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.
Any additional Directors of the Group or their associates who become entitled to participate in the PRP after the passing of Resolution 5 and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained if applicable.
Recommendation
The Directors recommend that the Securityholders vote IN FAVOUR of Resolution 5.
Mr Callaghan abstained from voting on the recommendation in respect of Resolution 5 and makes no recommendation in view of his personal interest in the matter.
