EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM (continued)

While the option to return completed and signed proxy forms by mail and delivery remain available, there is a risk that your physical proxy forms will not be received as mail delivery is restricted, and the registered office of the Company is not fully manned due to the COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions around public gatherings. To ensure your signed and completed proxies are received in time and processed, the Board strongly encourages shareholders to deliver the signed proxies online or fax.

Voting in person

While it is possible for you to vote in person by attending the meeting, it is possible that the Company may deny you physical entry into the AGM venue to ensure the health and safety of any person at the AGM and compliance with applicable laws. It is further possible that the AGM may be held by way of video conferencing where relevant health directions prohibit physical gatherings. The Board strongly recommends that you exercise your right to vote by way of proxy, and to appoint the Chairperson as proxy with directions on how to vote each item of business.

Corporate Representatives

A shareholder that is a company may by resolution of its directors authorise a person to act as its representative to vote at the meeting. A certificate of appointment of a corporate representative must be executed in accordance with the relevant company’s constitution and must be available for inspection at the meeting. Where the certificate of appointment is signed on behalf of the company by only one signatory and that signatory is not the sole director and sole company secretary, a certified copy of the company’s constitution must also be available at the meeting.

Voting Intention of the Chair for all Resolutions

Shareholders should be aware that any undirected proxies given to the Chair will be cast by the Chair and counted in favour of the Resolutions the subject of this Meeting, subject to compliance with the Corporations Act.

In accordance with section 200E(2A) of the Corporations Act, the Company will disregard any votes cast on Resolution 6:

  • an associate of any of the persons listed above.

  • However, the Company will not disregard a vote if:

Note 1: Financial Statements and Reports

The Financial Statements, the Directors’ Report and the Auditors’ Report for Energy One Limited for the year ended 30 June 2021 will be laid before the Annual General Meeting. There is no requirement either in the Corporations Act or the Constitution of the Company for the shareholders to approve these reports. No resolution will be put to the meeting on this item of business.

The Chairman will provide a reasonable opportunity for shareholders to ask questions and make comments on the reports. Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask the auditor questions about the conduct of the audit and the content of the auditor’s report.

Note 2: Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Remuneration Report is set out in the Directors’ Report of the Annual Report on pages 15 to 19.

The Remuneration Report Sets out matters including (but not limited to):

  • Energy One policies for determining the remuneration of directors and executives;

  • The remuneration details for directors and executives;

  • Certain ‘prescribed details’ of specified directors and executives of the Company.

Executive remuneration and the terms of employment are reviewed annually having regard to personal and corporate performance, contribution to long-term growth, relevant comparative information and independent expert advice. The Board believes that the Company’s remuneration arrangements, as set out in the Remuneration Report, are fair and appropriate to support the direction of the Company.

The shareholder vote is advisory only and does not bind the directors of the Company. A voting exclusion applies to this item of business, as set out in this Notice of Meeting.

Notice of Annual General Meeting

Energy One Limited

ABN 37 076 583 018

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM (continued)

The Chairman will provide a reasonable opportunity for shareholders to ask questions and make comments on the Remuneration Report.

The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the Resolution to Adopt the Remuneration Report. The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Note 3: Election of Directors – Ian Ferrier

Under Listing Rule 14.4, a director must not hold office without re-election past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or three years, whichever is longer. A director who retires in accordance with these requirements is eligible for re-election.

Ian Ferrier, a non-executive director, retires by rotation from the conclusion of this annual general meeting and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Mr Ferrier was appointed as a Director of Energy One Limited in 1996. Mr Ferrier has over 40 years experience in corporate recovery and turnaround practice. Mr Ferrier is also a director of a number of private and public companies. He is also a fellow of The Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia.

The Directors, excluding Ian Ferrier, unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the Resolution to elect Ian Ferrier. The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the Resolution.

Note 4: Grant of Performance Rights to the Managing Director & CEO, Mr Shaun Ankers

Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the Company must seek shareholder approval to grant equity securities in the Company to Directors. Mr Shaun Ankers is the managing director of the Company, and therefore is a person that falls under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1.

Mr Ankers is eligible for an award in accordance with the Company’s long term incentive scheme ( LTIS ). Accordingly, we are seeking approval to enable the Company to grant the Performance Rights to Mr Ankers under the EIP.

A Performance Right is a right to receive one ordinary share in the Company at a point in the future subject to meeting specified performance, time (service) and/or other conditions. If the applicable conditions (collectively called vesting conditions) are met, the Performance Rights will vest and may be exercised by the holder of the Performance Right in return for an ordinary share in the Company. A summary of the material terms of the EIP is contained in the explanatory memorandum tabled at the 2020 Annual General Meeting where the EIP was approved for a further 3 years.

As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, the amount of Mr Ankers’ current total remuneration for FY21 was $1,188,885.

LTI arrangements for Mr Ankers

Mr Ankers’ performance and remuneration arrangements have been reviewed under the Company’s annual review process. That process has led to a recommendation to seek shareholder approval to grant Performance Rights under the Company’s EIP as outlined below.

The remuneration arrangements for Mr Ankers are based on the Company’s ‘Total Annual Reward’ ( TAR ) framework. TAR seeks to provide fair and appropriate rewards, comprised of fixed and ‘at risk’ elements, designed to attract, retain and motivate employees. These Performance Rights represent the majority of Mr Ankers’ ‘at risk’ remuneration.

The Non-Executive Directors of the Remuneration Committee have concluded that the remuneration arrangement for Mr Ankers (including the proposed grants of Performance Rights) is reasonable and appropriate having regard to the circumstances of the Company and Mr Ankers’ duties and responsibilities.

The number and value of securities that can be granted to Mr Ankers is:

Performance 91,991 Performance Rights valued at $591,500[1 ] Rights 1Based on the EOL share price VWAP for the period 23/8/2021 to 27/8/2021 awarded under the EIP. No price is payable by Mr Ankers for the grant or exercise of the Performance Rights . Importantly, no value will be received by Mr Ankers if the Performance Rights lapse prior to the vesting date or Mr Ankers does not maintain continuous employment at all times up to the vesting date.

It is the intention of Energy One that only the Managing Director (Mr Ankers) be eligible to receive these Performance Rights in the EIP.

There are no loan arrangements in relation the Share Rights.

Details of any securities issued under the EIP will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to a period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in the EIP after this resolution is approved and who were not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

The Directors, excluding Mr. Ankers, recommend that you vote in favour of the Resolution to Grant of Performance Rights to the Managing Director & CEO, Mr Shaun Ankers. The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the Resolution.

Note 5: Grant of Service Rights to the Non-Executive Directors

Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the Company must seek shareholder approval to grant equity securities in the Company to Directors. Messrs. Bonwick, Busby, Ferrier and Weiss are Non-Executive Directors of the Company, and therefore are persons that fall under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1.

It is proposed that the non-executive directors will receive a proportion of their director fees in the form of Service Rights in the EIP. The advantage to the company is that the Service Rights represent a non-cash form of remuneration. Accordingly, we are seeking approval to enable the Company to grant 20,607 Service Rights to Messrs. Bonwick, Busby, Ferrier and Weiss under the EIP.

A Service Right is a right to receive one ordinary share in the Company at a point in the future subject to meeting specified time (service) and/or other conditions. If the applicable conditions (collectively called vesting conditions) are met, the Service Rights will vest and may be exercised by the holder of the Service Right in return for an ordinary share in the Company. A summary of the material terms of the EIP is contained in this explanatory memorandum tabled at the 2020 Annual General Meeting where the EIP was approved for a further 3 years.

Remuneration arrangements for Messrs. Bonwick, Busby, Ferrier and Weiss

As of the date of this Notice of Meeting, the amount of each Non-Executive Director’s current total fee package is detailed below:

Non-Executive Director Total fee package ($)
Andrew Bonwick $100,000
Vaughan Busby $60,000
Ian Ferrier $50,000
Ottmar Weiss $55,000

Board and Committee fees are reviewed periodically having regard to the level of fees paid to Non-Executive Directors at Australian companies of comparable size and complexity. They reflect the responsibilities and time commitment necessary for the role. These fees are unchanged from the 2021 financial year.

The aggregate cap for Non-Executive Directors' remuneration ($500,000) was last approved by shareholders at the 2009 Annual General Meeting. Note 5 does not change this cap but will more closely align the interests of the Board and shareholders if non-executive directors are required to receive a proportion of their fees as EOL service rights.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM (continued)

Details of any securities issued under the EIP will be published in the annual report of the Company relating to a period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in the EIP after this resolution is approved and who were not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

Where no direction is given on a proxy form by an eligible shareholder appointing a proxy, the Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the Resolution.

Note 6: Approval of potential leaver benefit payments to Mr Shaun Ankers and Non-Executive Directors

Under section 200B of the Corporations Act, a company may only give a person a benefit in connection with their ceasing to hold a managerial or executive office in the company or a related body corporate if an exemption applies under section 200F or it is approved by shareholders under section 200E. This restriction applies to managerial or executive officers of the Company, which includes Mr Shaun Ankers, Mr Andrew Bonwick, Mr Vaughan Busby, Mr Ian Ferrier and Mr Ottmar Weiss.

The term “benefit” for the purposes of Part 2D.2 of the Corporations Act has a wide operation and could include benefits resulting from the Board exercising discretions under the Plan Rules when Mr Ankers has ceased his employment with the Company or any of Mr Bonwick, Mr Busby, Mr Ferrier or Mr Weiss cease to hold office. Specifically, where a managerial or executive officer has ceased to hold office before the vesting of the securities described in Note 7 and 8 above have vested, the Board may in certain circumstances exercise its discretion to determine that some or all of those securities vest, having regard to the relevant performance or vesting hurdles applicable at the time. None of the exemptions or thresholds under section 200F of the Corporations Act apply. Accordingly, shareholders’ approval is sought for the purpose of section 200E of the Corporations Act to allow the Board to exercise its discretion to pay these benefits to Mr Ankers upon cessation of his employment, and to Mr Bonwick, Mr Busby, Mr Ferrier and Mr Weiss upon their cessation of holding office with the Company, in accordance with the Plan Rules and the terms and conditions stipulated above.

The Plan was previously approved by shareholders in 2017 for the purposes of what was then ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9(b) (but is now Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13(b)).

If approval is granted, Mr Ankers, Mr Bonwick, Mr Busby, Mr Ferrier and Mr Weiss will receive the benefits described above (subject to the Board’s discretion), in addition to any other termination benefits that the Company may provide to them where permitted to do so under the Corporations Act.

If approval is not granted, the Company may be unable to provide Mr Ankers, Mr Bonwick, Mr Busby, Mr Ferrier and Mr Weiss with the benefits described above upon the cessation of their employment. This may unnecessarily expose the Company to a substantial risk of claims for breach of contract and other legal action.

The value of the benefits described above that the Board may give by exercising its discretion to vest any of the Performance Rights or Service Rights cannot be determined in advance because various matters will or are likely to affect that value. In particular, the value of a particular benefit will depend on factors such as:

  • the Company’s share price at the time of vesting;

  • the number of shares that vest from the Performance or Service Rights the Board decides to vest and exercise;

  • the relevant person’s length of service and portion of any relevant performance periods that have expired at the time employment has ceased;

  • the number of unvested or lapsed Performance or Service Rights the relevant person holds at the time they cease employment; and

  • A voting exclusion applies to this item of business, as set out in this Notice of Meeting.

Where no direction is given on a proxy form by an eligible shareholder appointing a proxy, the Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of the Resolution.
