Dear Shareholder,

I am pleased to invite you to Downer’s 2021 Annual General Meeting ( AGM ) to be held at 11.00am (Sydney time) on 4 November 2021. Registration will open from 10:00am (Sydney time).

In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the potential for continued restrictions on physical gatherings, and to ensure the safety of shareholders and other participants, our Annual General Meeting will again be held virtually. Participants can attend via an online platform using their computer or mobile device and shareholders and proxyholders will be able to ask questions and vote in real time, subject to the connectivity of their devices.

Downer’s AGM is the occasion where shareholders vote on a number of important resolutions, which are outlined in this Notice of Meeting. It also provides shareholders with the opportunity to meet virtually with the Board, hear from the Managing Director and CEO and ask questions.

Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Independent Auditor’s Report

The first item of business will be to consider and receive the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report and the Independent Auditor’s Report for the year ended 30 June 2021.

Election and re-election of Directors

The second item of business seeks approval for the re-election of Mr Philip Garling and Ms Nicole Hollows as Independent Non-Executive Directors as well as my election as an Independent Non-executive Director.

Phil Garling joined the Board in November 2011 and is currently a member of the Zero Harm and Remuneration Committees and has previously been Chairman of the Remuneration Committee and Rail Projects Committee and a member of the Audit and Risk Committee. Downer’s process of Board renewal is ongoing and Mr Garling’s experience and understanding of the Company is important at this time. If re-elected, Mr Garling intends to retire during the term.

Nicole Hollows joined the Board in June 2018 and is currently the Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee and a member of the of the Remuneration, Tender Risk Evaluation and Nominations and Corporate Governance Committees.

I joined the Board in September 2021 and became the Chairman in October 2021. With an engineering and management background, I have over 40 years’ experience in senior leadership and governance roles in industrial businesses, including as a Chief Executive Officer, Non-executive Director and Non-executive Chairman of large publicly listed organisations. If elected, I look forward to working with the Board and the management team to drive value for shareholders.

Remuneration Report and performance rights

The third item of business seeks approval of the Remuneration Report and the fourth item of business seeks approval of the grant of performance rights to the Managing Director as part of his 2022 financial year remuneration.

The Board has been working hard over many years to ensure that executive pay is appropriate and aligned with the outcomes of the business. The Chairman’s letter on page 21 of Downer’s Annual Report sets out a summary of Downer’s remuneration strategy and outcomes for the 2021 financial year. I ask that you consider this letter and accompanying pages in the 2021 Annual Report when forming your views on these items of business.

Yours sincerely,

8 Downer EDI Limited NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2021
----- End of picture text -----

Under the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution are against the adoption of the relevant Remuneration Report at two consecutive Annual General Meetings (each an “AGM”, and any such potential 25% or more vote “against” commonly referred to as a “first strike” or “second strike”), shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those AGMs on a resolution that another general meeting be held within 90 days, at which all of the Company’s Directors in office at the time of the Directors’ resolution to make the Directors’ Report containing that second Remuneration Report (other than the Managing Director) must stand for re-election.

At last year’s AGM the resolution to adopt the 2020 Remuneration Report was carried with over 99% of votes cast “for” the Remuneration Report.

Board recommendation

The Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of Item 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report).

Voting exclusions

A vote on Item 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report) must not be cast by or on behalf of a member of the KMP or by any of their closely related parties (such as certain of their family members, dependants and companies they control).

However, this does not prevent a member of the KMP, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report, or any of their closely related parties, from voting as a proxy for a person who is not a member of those KMP or any of their closely related parties if:

• the person specifies the way the proxy is to vote on Item 3 (Remuneration Report) in the proxy form; or

• the person voting as a proxy is the Chairman and the proxy form does not specify the way the proxy is to vote and expressly authorises the Chairman to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is directly or indirectly connected with the remuneration of a member of the KMP for the Downer Group.

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are strongly encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Item 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report) by marking any one of “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the proxy form for that item of business. As set out in the section on Appointing a proxy, if you have appointed the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy and you do not mark any of “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the proxy form, you will be expressly authorising the Chairman to vote any proxies held by him in favour of Item 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report), even if that item is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP for the Downer Group.

Item 4

Approval of Managing Director’s Long-Term Incentive

It is proposed to grant the Managing Director performance rights in Downer as the Managing Director’s 2022 long-term incentive plan (2022 LTIP) on the terms set out below (2022 Grant) and to seek approval for that grant under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

This approval is being sought because Listing Rule 10.14.1 provides that a listed company must not permit a director of Downer to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it has been approved by shareholders. The 2022 Grant falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires the approval of Downer’s shareholders under Listing Rule 10.14.

Resolution 4 seeks the required shareholder approval to the 2022 Grant under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.

If approval is granted under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the Company will be permitted to issue ordinary shares in the Company to Mr Fenn in satisfaction of its obligations under those performance rights if and when they vest. Further, Downer will be able to proceed with the 2022 Grant without impact on its ability to issue up to 15% of its total ordinary securities without Shareholder approval in any 12-month period.

Proposed Long-Term Incentive for the Managing Director for 2021

As a senior executive, Mr Grant Fenn has participated in Downer’s long-term incentive plans (LTIPs) since 2009 and in his capacity as Managing Director since July 2010.

Under his employment agreement with Downer as Managing Director, Mr Fenn is entitled to be granted performance rights each year with a maximum value equal to 100% of his annual fixed remuneration. Performance rights are being used to appropriately align Mr Fenn’s remuneration as Managing Director with shareholder returns. The performance rights are subject to long-term performance requirements and therefore only vest to Mr Fenn if those performance requirements are met. In the event that the resolution is not passed by shareholders, the Board intends to provide an LTIP equivalent through an alternative mechanism in order to meet Mr Fenn’s contractual entitlements.

In accordance with Downer’s contractual commitments, it is proposed to grant Mr Fenn performance rights with a maximum value of 100% of his annual fixed remuneration at the time the quantity of performance rights is determined (as described below). Mr Fenn’s current fixed remuneration is $2,000,000. The grant will be in the form of performance rights which are a right to receive fully paid Downer ordinary shares which may be purchased on-market or issued by the Company.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote any undirected proxies held by him in favour of Item 3 (Adoption of Remuneration Report).

==> picture [596 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2021 9
----- End of picture text -----

Mr Fenn is also eligible to receive an annual short-term incentive (STI) up to a maximum opportunity of 100% of his fixed remuneration. Any entitlement to an STI is at the discretion of the Board, having regard to performance measures and targets. There is no STI entitlement where Mr Fenn’s employment terminates prior to the end of the financial year, other than in the event of a change in control or by mutual agreement.

Dividends will be paid or accumulated only from the time the performance rights vest.

Entitlement under the 2022 grant

Mr Fenn will receive a grant on the same terms and at the same time as other eligible employees.

Subject to shareholder approval being obtained, the maximum number of performance rights granted to Mr Fenn will be 374,714. This quantity was calculated as his annual fixed remuneration of $2,000,000 divided by $5.3374 being the daily average of the volume weighted average price of Downer shares for the 10 trading days following the release of Downer’s results for the year ended 30 June 2021, adjusted for the estimated value of dividends during the vesting period that do not attach to the rights. Each performance right will convert to one ordinary share once all vesting conditions are met.

If shareholders approve the proposed resolution in Item 4 (Approval of Managing Director’s Long-Term Incentive (LTI)), the 2022 Grant will be made within 12 months from the date of this meeting.

Details of any securities issued under the Company’s LTI Plan will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which securities have been issued, and that approval for the issue of securities was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in the Company’s LTI Plan after the resolution is approved and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting and Explanatory Memorandum will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Price on grant or vesting

No amount is payable by the Managing Director on grant or vesting of the performance rights.

Vesting conditions

Vesting of performance rights granted under the 2022 LTIP will be subject to:

• meeting certain performance hurdles over a specified period; and

• continued employment with Downer over a period determined by the Board (service period).

Mr Fenn’s proposed 2022 Grant will be divided into three equal tranches subject to the following performance hurdles:

• relative total shareholder return (TSR);

• compound annual earnings per share growth (EPS);

• net profit after tax and before amortisation of acquired intangibles (NPATA) and free cash flow (FFO) (Scorecard); and

• The performance rights are not transferable, and do not confer any right to vote or to a dividend, nor do they confer any right to a return of capital, to participate in surplus profits or assets of Downer, or to participate in new issues of securities.

TSR is measured over the three-year performance period to 30 June 2024. TSR is calculated as the difference in share price over the performance period, plus the value of shares earned from reinvesting dividends received over this period, expressed as a percentage of the share price at the beginning of the performance period. If the TSR for each company in the comparator group (see below) is ranked from highest to lowest, the median TSR is the percentage return to shareholders that exceeds the TSR for half of the comparison companies. The 75th percentile TSR is the percentage return required to exceed the TSR for 75% of the comparison companies.

Performance rights in the tranche to which the relative TSR performance requirement applies vest in accordance with the following table:

Downer’s TSR	% of performance
ranking against the	rights subject to the
comparator group	relative TSR
<50thpercentile	Nil
50thpercentile	30%
Above 50th and below	Straight line so that a further
75th percentile	2.8% of the performance rights

The comparator group for the 2022 Grant is the companies, excluding financial services companies, in the ASX 100 index as at the start of the performance period on 1 July 2021.

EPS growth is measured over the three-year performance period to 30 July 2024. The EPS measure is based on AASB 133 Earnings per Share and is externally audited.

The tranche of shares dependent on the EPS performance condition vests pro rata between 5% compound annual EPS growth and 10% compound annual EPS growth.

The Scorecard condition will be comprised of two independent absolute components of equal weighting. These components will be based on Group NPATA and Group FFO. FFO is defined as net cash flow from operating activities less investing cash flow.

The performance of each component will be measured over the three-year period to 30 June 2024.

NPATA and FFO targets will be set at the beginning of each of the three financial years. The performance of each component will be assessed each year relative to the targets. Performance of each component will be determined as the average of the annual performance assessments for the three years.

Performance rights in the tranche to which the Scorecard performance requirement applies vest in accordance with the following table:

following table:
	% of performance rights
	subject to Scorecard condition

Performance period

The performance period for the 2022 Grant will be the three years from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2024 and the service period will end on 30 June 2025.

Change of control

Under the 2022 LTIP, if there is a change in control of Downer during the performance period, provided at least 12 months of the 2022 Grant’s performance period have elapsed, unvested performance rights pro-rated with the elapsed performance period are tested for vesting with performance against the relevant performance hurdles for that period.

Performance rights that have already been tested and have met performance requirements but remain subject to the completion of the service period condition will fully vest.

Neither unvested pro-rated performance rights nor performance rights that have already been tested and met performance requirements will vest unless the Board is satisfied that there has been no conduct on the part of Mr Fenn that the Board considers inappropriate and that the financial results against which the performance hurdles were tested were not incorrect in a material respect and were not reversed or restated.

Cessation of employment

Upon cessation of employment of the Managing Director for any reason, all performance rights that have not vested by the cessation of employment will be forfeited unless, subject to the termination benefit provisions of the Corporations Act, the Board exercises its discretion to permit the Managing Director to retain performance rights by deeming him to be an “Eligible Leaver”. If Mr Fenn is deemed to be an Eligible Leaver, he may be entitled to retain some or all of his performance rights and these will be tested for vesting against the Vesting Conditions other than the Continued Employment Condition in their normal course. An Eligible Leaver’s performance rights will be settled with fully paid Downer ordinary shares or in cash in the Board’s sole and absolute discretion. No performance rights will vest unless the Board is satisfied that there has been no conduct on the part of Mr Fenn that the Board considers inappropriate and that the financial results against which the performance hurdles were tested were not incorrect in a material respect and were not reversed or restated.

Once some or all of the performance rights have met the vesting conditions, the performance rights will not vest unless the Board is satisfied there has been no conduct on the part of Mr Fenn that the Board considers inappropriate and that the financial results against which the performance vesting condition were tested were not incorrect in a material respect and were not reversed or restated.

Board recommendation

In the view of the Non-executive Directors, it is in the best interests of shareholders to approve the performance rightbased 2022 long-term incentive grant to the Managing Director because it appropriately aligns the Managing Director’s remuneration with shareholder returns. Your Directors (in the absence of the Managing Director) therefore recommend shareholders approve the 2022 Grant and the Managing Director’s participation in the 2022 LTIP.

Voting exclusions

The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of Item 4 (Approval of Managing Director’s Long-Term Incentive (LTI)) by or on behalf of:

• Mr Fenn; or

• associates of Mr Fenn.

However the Company need not disregard a vote cast in favour of the resolution by:

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

• the Chairman 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 Chairman to vote on the resolution as the Chairman decides; or

• a 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.

Shareholders should note that apart from Mr Fenn no Director is eligible to participate in any employee incentive scheme in relation to the Company.

If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are strongly encouraged to direct your proxy how to vote on Item 4 (Approval of Managing Director’s Long-Term Incentive (LTI)) by marking any one of “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the proxy form for that item of business. As set out in the section on Appointing a proxy, if you have appointed the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy and you do not mark any of “For”, “Against” or “Abstain” on the proxy form, you will be expressly authorising the Chairman to vote any proxies held by him in favour of Item 4 (Approval of Managing Director’s Long-Term Incentive (LTI)) even if that item is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of KMP for the Downer Group.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote any undirected proxies held by him in favour of Item 4 (Approval of Managing Director’s Long-Term Incentive (LTI)).
