Dexus 2021 Notice of Annual General Meeting 3

Procedural Notes

Dexus is the collective name of the two Trusts (Dexus Property Trust and Dexus Operations Trust), and one unit in each of the Trusts together comprises one Security. As each Trust is a separate entity, each is required to conduct a separate meeting.

Richard Sheppard, as Chair of the meetings, has determined that because the Resolutions to be proposed at each of the two meetings and the persons eligible to vote on the Resolutions are the same, each of the two meetings will be conducted concurrently so that, from an administrative and attendee point of view, the conduct of the meetings will be as if they were one single Meeting.

Quorum

The quorum necessary for this Meeting is 20 Security holders present in person or by proxy. If a quorum is not present within 30 minutes after the scheduled time for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned as the Chair directs. For this Meeting, a quorum may be met by counting Security holders (including by proxy) attending via the online AGM platform.

Direct voting at the Meeting

As there will be no physical meeting, the only way for you to vote at the Meeting is for you to do so by direct voting. The Directors have determined that at the Meeting, a Security holder who is entitled to vote on a Resolution is entitled to a direct vote in respect of that Resolution. The Directors have also approved the use of the Link Market Services Limited real-time online AGM platform as a means of delivering a direct vote.

If you wish to cast a direct vote at the Meeting, you should attend the Meeting online on Tuesday, 19 October 2021 via the link available at www.dexus.com/

Introduction

This Explanatory Memorandum is intended to provide Security holders with information to assess the merits of the Resolutions contained in the accompanying 2021 Notice of Annual General Meeting. Defined terms have the meanings attributed to them in the glossary. All monetary amounts (unless otherwise stated) are expressed in Australian dollars.

1. Adoption of the Remuneration Report

The purpose of Resolution 1 is to adopt the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021. The Remuneration Report is in Dexus’s 2021 Annual Report starting on page 78.

Under the Corporations Act, a listed company is required at its annual general meeting to put to its shareholders, a resolution to approve its remuneration report. Consistent with its corporate governance framework, the Board has determined that Dexus will be subject to this obligation even though it is a listed stapled group comprising real estate investment trusts. The vote on Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or DXFM. However, if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 1 are voted against the adoption of the 2021 Remuneration Report at the Meeting (first negative vote) then:

  • If comments are made on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting, Dexus’s 2022 Remuneration Report will include an explanation of the Board’s proposed action in response to those comments or, if no action is proposed, the Board’s reasons for this; and

  • If, at the 2022 Annual General Meeting, at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution for adoption of the 2022 Remuneration Report are voted against the adoption of the 2022 Remuneration Report (second negative vote), Dexus will put to Security holders at the 2022 Annual General Meeting a resolution proposing that an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) be called to consider the re-election of Directors of DXFM (Spill Resolution)

  • If the Spill Resolution is passed (i.e. more than 50% of the votes cast are in favour of it), Dexus will call an EGM within 90 days of the 2022 Annual General Meeting and all of the DXFM Directors (other than the Chief Executive Officer (CEO)) will cease to hold office following that EGM, unless they are re-elected at the EGM

During the Meeting, there will be an opportunity for Security holders to comment upon and ask questions about the Remuneration Report.

Voting Exclusions

Consistent with Dexus’s corporate governance framework and Section 250R of the Corporations Act, a vote must not be cast (in any capacity) on Resolution 1 by or on behalf of a member of Dexus’s KMP and their closely related parties.

However, a vote may be cast on Resolution 1 by a KMP or its closely related parties as a proxy if the vote is not cast on behalf of a KMP or a closely related party of a KMP, and either:

  • The voter is appointed as a proxy in writing, and that appointment specifies how the proxy is to vote on Resolution 1, or

  • The voter is the Chair of the Meeting, and the proxy appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote, and expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP

Resolution 1 will be decided by poll. Resolution 1 must be decided by at least 50% of votes cast at the Meeting by Security holders entitled to vote on the Resolution.

Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Security holders vote in favour of Resolution 1 to adopt the Remuneration Report.

Dexus 2021 Notice of Annual General Meeting 5

Explanatory Memorandum continued

2. FY22 grant of long-term incentive performance rights to the Chief Executive Officer

Under his employment agreement, Darren Steinberg’s remuneration package for the current financial year (FY22) consists of:

  • Fixed remuneration $1,600,000; and

  • At risk remuneration comprising of:

  • Short-term incentive (STI), 25% of which is deferred remuneration and delivered in security rights which vest after one and two years. Darren Steinberg’s maximum opportunity is 125% of his fixed remuneration which is $2,000,000; and

  • Long-term incentive (LTI), all of which is deferred remuneration and delivered in performance rights which vest in two tranches at the end of year three and year four subject to achieving performance hurdles. Darren Steinberg’s LTI opportunity for the performance rights granted this current financial year was 150% of his fixed remuneration, which is $2,400,000

A performance right is the right, for no payment, to receive Securities on the vesting of that performance right.

It is proposed that Darren Steinberg (Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director) be awarded performance rights under the Group’s LTI Rights Plan (Plan) in respect of his FY22 LTI. This proposal is consistent with the Group’s remuneration framework and Darren Steinberg’s remuneration structure since his appointment as CEO, as previously disclosed to Security holders.

Dexus has chosen to grant performance rights under the Plan to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of eligible employees, and to align their interests with the interests of Security holders. Performance rights only convert to Securities should performance conditions set by the Board be achieved.

The number of performance rights that have previously been issued to Darren Steinberg under the LTI is 1,660,964 with 548,342 rights yet to vest within their respective plans. These performance rights were acquired at no cost to Darren Steinberg. These performance rights were acquired over 9 years and at no cost to Darren Steinberg.

Details of any securities that have been issued to Darren Steinberg under the Plan are published in the Dexus Annual Report relating to the period in which they were issued.

Why is Security holder approval being sought?

Dexus is not required to seek Security holder approval for the grant of performance rights to Darren Steinberg as Dexus acquires Securities on-market to satisfy these rights. However, for the purposes of transparency and good governance the Board has determined to seek Security holder approval for the grant of performance rights to be satisfied by the transfer of Securities to Darren Steinberg.

If approved by Security holders, Darren Steinberg will receive the FY22 LTI grant described in this Explanatory Memorandum. If not approved by Security holders, Darren Steinberg will not receive the grant, but he will remain entitled to all other remuneration to which he is entitled to under his employment contract and any other discretionary incentives the Board determines to award him from time to time.

What is the new LTI structure?

The at risk LTI is delivered as performance rights which vest in two tranches at the end of year three and year four if performance hurdles are achieved.

In response to investor and proxy advisor feedback regarding duplication of Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) as a performance measure in the Plan and STI plan, and the Board’s focus on delivering positive absolute returns to Security holders, the Board has decided to change the performance measures for the Plan, effective from FY22. The FY22 Plan will be subject to three, rather than two LTI performance measures.

The performance hurdles for the FY22 grant are Absolute Total Security holder Return (ATSR hurdle) (40%), average Return on Contributed Equity (ROCE hurdle) (40%), and strategic measures (20%). Each of these performance hurdles are described in more detail in the following paragraphs.

These measures provide focus on the fundamentals of Dexus’s business and on the performance of the Executive team and the successful execution of strategic objectives which the Board sets.

What is the ATSR hurdle?

The ATSR hurdle is a new performance hurdle, and represents the total return for Security holders. Performance is measured using a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the respective three and four year Plan periods, with distributions considered to be reinvested over the life of the Plan.

The ATSR calculation used for the Plan period will be: (Closing Price x Distribution Reinvestment Factor / Starting Price) - 1.

What is the ROCE hurdle?

The ROCE hurdle refers to the average return on contributed equity. This is calculated as a percentage, comprising AFFO together with the net tangible asset impact from completed developments, divided by the weighted average contributed equity during the period. The ROCE calculation excludes the impact of stabilised asset revaluations and includes the revaluations of major completed developments.

ROCE is measured as the per annum average at the respective conclusion of the three and four-year vesting periods.

What are the strategic measures?

The strategic measures are a new performance hurdle and refer to a range of non-financial outcomes which focus Plan participants on the execution of Dexus’s strategy with the goal of enhancing sustained long-term growth and value creation for Security holders. These measures for FY22 include:

  • The diversification of capital partners and investors, and overall growth in funds management

  • Strategic acquisitions and divestments of assets across the Dexus investment portfolio

  • Progressing the Group development pipeline

The strategic measures for FY22 and how they will be assessed are outlined in more detail on page 99 of the Annual Report.

6 Dexus 2021 Notice of Annual General Meeting

What is the hurdle range?

The Board sets the hurdle range for all LTI performance measures over three and four year periods to align with the Group’s key operational metrics of:

  • A ‘through the cycle’ ATSR target range of 6% to 12% (measured on a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) basis)

  • An average ROCE within the ‘through the cycle’ target range of 7% to 10% annualised

The strategic measures will be disclosed at the beginning of the performance period in the Annual Report. The annual assessment by the Board of the Group’s progress against each strategic measure will also be disclosed in the Annual Report.

Can the hurdles be adjusted?

The Board reserves the right to adjust performance hurdles under the Plan to reflect the impact of any capital transaction occurring during the performance period (for example: a significant equity issue or the sale or joint venture of a material part of the portfolio).

How are the number of performance rights calculated?

The LTI grant value is based on 150% of the fixed remuneration of the CEO as at 1 July and the number of performance rights granted is calculated on a ‘face value’ basis.

The FY22 LTI grant value is $2,400,000 which is divided by the value attributed to the right, being the volume weighted average price of Securities over ten trading days either side of the first trading day of the new financial year ($10.67).

The proposed number of rights to be granted to Darren Steinberg is 225,004. The minimum value of the grant is nil if the performance conditions are not met. The actual value cannot be determined until the end of the vesting periods and will depend on the extent of vesting and the actual Security price at those times.

When will the performance rights be granted?

The proposed grant of performance rights to Darren Steinberg will be made as soon as practicable after Security holder approval is obtained. The grant will have an effective date of 1 July 2021.

What happens if Darren Steinberg leaves Dexus?

Forfeiture of the performance rights will occur should Darren Steinberg’s employment terminate within 12 months of the issue of performance rights for any reason, or if he voluntarily resigns or is terminated for cause prior to the vesting date.

Notwithstanding the above, if Darren Steinberg’s employment is terminated for reasons such as retirement, redundancy, reorganisation, change in control or other unforeseen circumstances, the Board People & Remuneration Committee will recommend whether he should remain in the Plan as a “good leaver”, for decision by the Board.

What happens if there is a change of control?

Under the Plan, performance rights do not vest automatically as a consequence of a control transaction or a corporate restructuring. In relation to control transactions, the Board retains the discretion to accelerate the vesting date for performance rights issued under the Plan in such circumstances.

Do forfeiture or cancellation provisions apply to the LTI?

Yes. Performance rights may be reduced or cancelled at the Board’s discretion including in circumstances such as a participant committing an act of fraud, wilful misconduct, reputational damage to Dexus, serious or wilful negligence or incompetence, being convicted of a criminal offence or if there has been a material misstatement of the Group’s financial accounts as a consequence of a deliberate misrepresentation or fraud.

What is the hedging policy?

Participants in the Plan are prohibited from entering into hedging arrangements in respect of unvested performance rights.

Voting Exclusions

Dexus will disregard any votes cast in favour of Resolution 2 by or on behalf of the Chief Executive Officer or any of his associates. However, this does not apply to a vote cast in favour of Resolution 2 by:

  • A person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on Resolution 2, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or

  • The Chair of the Meeting as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the Chair to vote on the resolution as the Chair decides; or

  • A Security holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • The beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and

  • The holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way

In addition, consistent with Dexus’s corporate governance framework, a vote must not be cast on Resolution 2 by a member of Dexus’s KMP or their closely related parties, acting as proxy for a person entitled to vote, if their appointment does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on Resolution 2.

This restriction on voting undirected proxies does not apply to the Chair of the Meeting acting as proxy for a person entitled to vote on Resolution 2, because the Voting Form expressly authorises the Chair of the Meeting to exercise undirected proxies.

Resolution 2 will be decided by poll. Resolution 2 must be decided by at least 50% of the votes cast at the Meeting by Security holders entitled to vote on the Resolution.

Recommendation

The Board, excluding Darren Steinberg, recommends that Security holders vote in favour of Resolution 2 to award Darren Steinberg performance rights under the Plan in respect of his FY22 LTI. Given his personal interest in the outcome of Resolution 2, Darren Steinberg has refrained from providing a recommendation in connection with this Resolution.

Prior to joining Quintain, Tonianne was a Director of Investment Banking at Hambros Bank, SG Cowen and Societe Generale based in London. She also held directorships on Queensland Treasury Corporation, Metcash Limited and Cardno Limited, the Bristol & Bath Science Park Stakeholder Board, and on a number of boards associated with Quintain’s funds management business including the Quercus, Quantum and iQ Property Partnerships.

Recommendation

The Board (other than the Directors abstaining) recommends that Security holders vote in favour of Resolutions 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 to approve the initial and continued appointments (by ratification) of Warwick Negus, Penny Bingham-Hall and Tonianne Dwyer as Independent Directors of DXFM.

Each Director whose continued appointment is being voted upon has abstained from making a recommendation on their continued appointment.

4. Constitutional Amendments

The purpose of Resolution 4 is to approve amendments to the Constitutions of each of the two Trusts that comprise Dexus. The proposed amendments are to:

  • Enable the Responsible Entity to provide greater certainty to Security holders (when needed) in respect of the amount and calculation of distributions, by having the option to align the timing of distribution payments from the Trusts to dividend payments of companies (“Distribution Payment Amendments”); and

  • Provide the Responsible Entity and Security holders more flexibility in attending meetings by introducing the option to hold hybrid or fully virtual meetings for the Trusts going forward, in light of the uncertainty caused by disruptions to the market such as the ongoing government restrictions (“Virtual Meeting Amendments”)

Tonianne is standing for re-election until the 2022 Annual General Meeting, to enable the continuation of the Board’s succession and renewal strategy.

Resolutions 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3 will be decided by poll. The Resolutions must be decided by at least 50% of the votes cast at the Meeting by Security holders entitled to vote on each Resolution.

Dexus 2021 Notice of Annual General Meeting 9

Explanatory Memorandum continued

4.1. Distribution Payment Amendments

4.1.1. Background

Dexus has traditionally announced an estimate of its distributions prior to the end of each financial year and half-year, with an announcement of its actual distribution following the finalisation of its full and half year accounts in August and February respectively. The record dates for its distributions have traditionally been 31 December for the half year and 30 June for the full year.

This reflects the provisions of the Constitutions of each of the Trusts (based on tax laws at the time the original trusts that comprised Dexus were established), which require that all Security holders on the register at the end of a distribution period are made presently entitled to the income of the trust at that time.

The timing for the record date and announcement of distributions for Dexus is different to the timing for most corporate entities listed on the ASX, which announce a dividend after finalisation of full and half year accounts and pay that dividend to members on a record date set after the announcement.

Recent changes to tax laws allow trusts like Dexus to align the timing of the record date for distributions to the timing of dividend payments for corporate entities. However, Dexus has not been able to take advantage of these changes because of the provisions of the Constitutions as described above.

The Responsible Entity now wishes to give itself the flexibility to make distributions on the same basis as most corporate entities, noting that some of its listed trust peers have already taken this step. Dexus has generally been able to successfully estimate its distribution prior to the end of each financial year, so that its estimated and actual distributions have been identical. However, recent uncertainty has made estimating its distribution before finalising accounts more challenging.

4.1.2. Impact for Security holders

The Responsible Entity considers that it is in the best interests of Security holders to make the Distribution Payment Amendments. If the Distribution Payment Amendments are made and the Responsible Entity then decides to change the timing for the record date, to align with corporate entities, the Responsible Entity would not expect there to be a material change to Security holders’ entitlements to distributions.

In that case the record date for distributions would be expected to be at or around the same time as the accounts are finalised (generally February and August each year), only the actual distribution would be announced, and no estimate would be announced prior to this time.

A potential benefit for Security holders in delaying the record date is that the actual distribution would be known and announced, rather than announcing an estimated distribution. In times of uncertainty, this reduces the potential for the market to trade on an inaccurate estimate of the distribution.

If the record date is changed, it is the Security holders on that changed record date that will be entitled to the distributions from the Trust and liable for tax in respect of the distributions.

These Security holders will be liable for tax in respect of the distributions and will be assessed on the amounts comprised in the distribution in the year when they were derived, which will not necessarily be when the distribution is made. This is irrespective of when Security holders acquired their securities in Dexus. For example, a Security holder that acquires Dexus securities after 30 June but before the Record Date would be required to include an amount in their assessable income for the year ended on that 30 June even though they did not own Dexus securities during that year.

The Responsible Entity does not currently intend to change the record date if the Distribution Payment Amendments are passed. Instead, the amendments are to give the Responsible Entity flexibility to implement a change if it considers doing so would be in the best interests of Security holders in the future.

4.2. Virtual Meeting Amendments

Given the recent situation in relation to the current government restrictions and the need for flexibility regarding the holding of meetings, the Virtual Meeting Amendments are proposed to ensure that:

  • The Responsible Entity is able to quickly respond to situations (such as COVID-19) and move the place of meetings, change the time of meetings and notify members electronically of those changes

  • The Responsible Entity is able to hold meetings fully electronically if required and/or permitted under the Corporations Act

  • A quorum is able to be formed for a meeting including those Security holders present by use of virtual meeting technology

  • The Chair can make appropriate decisions prior to or during a meeting if a change is required to a venue for the meeting or if a disruption occurs

  • The Responsible Entity may send the Notice of Annual General Meeting to all Security holders for whom the Responsible Entity has an email address (except any Security holders who have elected to receive notices in hard copy)

The above will clarify the Responsible Entity and the Chair’s powers in the face of extraordinary circumstances that may disrupt or complicate meetings in the future. Security holders should note that the Responsible Entity has no current intention to hold virtual-only meetings in the future unless it is required to do so by law, or it deems it necessary having regard to the health and safety of its Security holders and employees.

Resolution 4 will be decided by poll. The Resolution must be decided by at least 75% of the votes cast at the Meeting by Security holders entitled to vote on the Resolution.

Recommendation

The Board unanimously recommends that Security holders vote in favour of Resolution 4 and approve the proposed amendments to the Constitutions.
