2017 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING DOMINO’S PIZZA ENTERPRISES LIMITED

Explanatory Memorandum

5. Resolution 4 – Approval for Grant of Options to Managing Director

Remuneration policy

The performance of the Company depends upon the quality of its Directors and executives. The compensation structure is designed to strike an appropriate balance between fixed and variable remuneration, rewarding capability and experience and providing recognition for contribution to the Company’s overall goals and objectives. In deciding the remuneration and incentives of the Managing Director, the Board considers that there should be an appropriate mix of remuneration comprising cash and securities to link the remuneration of the Managing Director to the financial performance of the Company. Equity-based incentives consistent with the Company’s remuneration policy better aligns the Managing Director’s performance with the Company’s financial position. The Board also believes that an equity-based remuneration component helps it to attract and retain the best executives.

The Directors consider the remuneration policy to be a sensible and well-balanced policy which allows them to adjust the remuneration mix appropriately to the Company’s changing circumstances.

Proposed grant of options

In accordance with its remuneration policy, as part of the Managing Director’s remuneration package, the Board proposes, subject to member approval, to grant to Mr Don Meij a total of 737,000 options to acquire unissued shares in the Company on the terms and conditions described below.

Exercise Prices

The option exercise prices for tranches 1, 2 and 3 will reflect the underlying market price around the time of grant and will be the volume weighted average share price ( VWAP ) of the Company’s shares over the ten trading days – being the five days prior to, the day of, and the four days following the Company’s 2017, 2018 and 2019 annual general meetings respectively.

Exercise Periods

Subject to the satisfaction of certain exercise conditions and, in particular, meeting an earnings per share ( EPS ) performance hurdle, each tranche of options can be exercised after 31 August 2020, 31 August 2021 and 31 August 2022 respectively and before the date which is 1 year after the relevant vesting date of that tranche.

There are no restrictions on the sale of shares issued pursuant to the exercise of a vested option.

Exercise Conditions

The Options cannot be exercised unless at the time of exercise of the Option:

  • The option has vested.

  • Mr Meij is engaged by the Company as an employee.

  • The exercise of the Option would not result in a contravention of the Constitution of the Company, ASX’s Listing Rules or the Corporations Act 2001 .

The proposed grant of options to the Managing Director is part of a wider long term executive incentive program involving key executives covering the 2018 – 2022 financial years.

Grant in three separate tranches

The options will be granted in three tranches in calendar years 2017, 2018 and 2019 as follows:

Number
Tranche of Options Performance Period
Tranche 1 220,000 2018,2019 and 2020 fnancialyears
Tranche 2 220,000 2019,2020 and 2021 fnancialyears
Tranche 3 297,000 2020,2021 and 2022 fnancialyears

The options will be granted under the Company’s Executive Share and Option Plan. The key features are set out below.

Explanatory Memorandum

Performance Hurdle

The EPS performance hurdle is a Cumulative EPS Target.

This is the sum of the Company’s EPS for each financial year within the relevant performance period, based on the audited financial statements of the Company and adjusted by the Board acting reasonably to reflect the underlying annual compound EPS growth having regard to such factors as the Board reasonably determines including, without limitation, significant acquisitions, share buybacks and other capital transactions. The Cumulative EPS Target approach has been adopted to encourage consistent annual EPS growth.

The required Cumulative EPS Target is based on an annual compound EPS growth rates in the range of 12% – 20%. For Tranche 1 the relevant Cumulative EPS Target is calculated as follows:

Explanatory Memorandum

Discussion and analysis of the proposed grant of options

Cost to the company

The options will not be quoted on ASX and accordingly have no readily identifiable market value.

However, for illustrative purposes, the options have been valued for accounting purposes by the Directors using principles set out in Australian Accounting Standards Board AASB 2 Share Based Payments and the Binomial Valuation Methodology, as follows:

VALUE ($)
OPTIONS PER OPTION ASSUMED EXERCISE DATE
Tranche 1 $8.5072 25 September 2020
Tranche 2 $9.7022 25 September 2021
Tranche 3 $10.6647 25 September 2022

On this basis, the total expense that could ultimately be recognised for each Tranche having regard to each of the different EPS growth scenarios is set out below (being the number of options which could potentially vest, multiplied by their respective fair value):

TRANCHE 1 TRANCHE 2 TRANCHE 3 TOTAL
NUMBER 220,000 220,000 297,000 737,000
VALUE $1,871,578 $2,134,478 $3,167,426 $7,173,482

Shareholders should be aware that this is an indicative valuation only for illustrative purposes. The actual accounting expense may be different due to differences in the final inputs such as the date of grant, which, subject to approval is expected to be on or about 15 November 2017. The total accounting expense will be amortised over the relevant vesting periods.

Valuation inputs

The valuation Methodology is a function of the relationship between a number of variables principally being the share price, the option exercise price, the time to expiry and the volatility of the Company’s underlying share price.

The application of the Methodology therefore requires a number of inputs, some of which must be assumed. The key inputs used in the Methodology are summarised in the table below

KEY DRIVER TRANCHE 1 TRANCHE 2 TRANCHE 3 HOW CALCULATED
Share Price $40.84 $40.84 $40.84 The closing share price on 14 September 2017 as a proxy
(proxy) (proxy) (proxy) for the shareprice of the Companyon thegrant date.
Exercise Price $42.46 $42.46 $42.46 As this value is contingent on trading data in the future, the
(proxy) (proxy) (proxy) Company’s ten day VWAP as at 14 September 2017 has been
adopted as aproxyfor the exerciseprice.

Explanatory Memorandum

Remuneration

The Managing Director’s remuneration package for the year ended 2 July 2017 (as detailed in the Remuneration Report included in the Directors’ Report of the 2017 Annual Report) comprises:

OTHER LONG TERM SHARE-BASED
SALARY SUPERANNUATION *BONUS NON-CASH BENEFITS PAYMENTS TOTAL
$ $ $ $ $ $ $
1,049,461 19,616 - 5,893 20,732 3,567,050 4,662,752

*The bonus component is subject to various key performance indicators

Relevant interests in shares and options

The Managing Director’s current relevant interest in shares and options in the Company as at the date of this notice are as follows:

SHARES OPTIONS
2,276,807 700,000

Impact on capital structure

Until exercised, the grant of options will not impact on the number of ordinary shares on issue in the Company. If all of the proposed options were exercised, an additional 737,000 fully paid ordinary shares would be issued representing approximately 0.82% of the total issued share capital of the Company as at 18 September 2017 (assuming that no other options were exercised or shares issued by the Company between the date the options were granted and the date on which those options were exercised).

Opportunity cost to the Company

The opportunity cost and benefits foregone to the Company in granting the options comprise:

  • The obligation of the Company to issue shares on the exercise of the options at the exercise price even though this might be less than the market price of the shares at the time of the exercise of the option; and

  • The potential dilutionary impact on the existing shareholders of the Company in the event of the issue of shares on the exercise of options – see the impact on the capital structure described above.

The Directors believe that any potential dilutionary impact is not material and is more than offset by the advantages accruing to the Company from the services of Managing Director.

Tax consequences

As far as the Company is aware, there are no adverse taxation consequences to the company arising from the proposed issue of options.

Use of funds

Any funds raised from the exercise of options will be applied towards the working capital and cash requirements of the Company at the time of exercise of the options.
