Voting Exclusions
Resolution 1:
In accordance with the Corporations Act, a vote must not be cast on this resolution (and will be taken not to have been cast if cast contrary to this restriction) by a member of the KMP, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report, and their Closely Related Parties (each a Restricted Voter ). However, a Restricted Voter may cast a vote on this resolution if it is not cast on behalf of a Restricted Voter and either:
-
(a) it is cast by the Restricted Voter as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the proxy is to vote on the proposed resolution; or
-
(b) it is cast by the Chair of the meeting ( Chair ) as a proxy, if the appointment of the Chair expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.
Further, a Restricted Voter who is appointed as a proxy must not vote on this resolution unless:
-
(a) the appointment specifies the way the proxy is to vote on this resolution; or
-
(b) the proxy is the Chair and the appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even though the item is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.
If you appoint the Chair as your proxy for Resolution 1 and you do not direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 1, you will be expressly authorising the Chair to exercise your proxy, even if the resolution is connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of a member of the KMP which includes the Chair.

Brent Scrimshaw is the only Director who meets the definition of Eligible Employee and therefore the Company will disregard any votes on Resolution 4 cast by Brent Scrimshaw or his Associates regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast. However, the Company need not disregard a vote cast if:
-
(a) it is cast by a person as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the proxy form; or
-
(b) it is cast by the Chair as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the proxy form to vote as the proxy decides.

-
(a) the appointment specifies the way the proxy is to vote on this resolution; or
-
(b) the proxy is the Chair and the appointment expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even though the item is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.
If you appoint the Chair as your proxy for Resolution 4 and you do not direct your proxy how to vote on Resolution 4, you will be expressly authorising the Chair to exercise your proxy, even if the resolution is connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of a member of the KMP which includes the Chair. Shareholders should note that the Chair intends to vote any undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 4. Shareholders may also choose to direct the Chair to vote against Resolution 4 or to abstain from voting.

03 Enero Group Limited · Notice of Meeting 2021
Resolution by Poll
In accordance with rule 5.6(a) of the Company’s Constitution and the Treasury Laws Amendment (2021 Measures No. 1) Act 2021, the Chair intends to call a poll on each resolution proposed at the AGM. Each resolution considered at the AGM will therefore be conducted by a poll, rather than on a show of hands.
Voting before the AGM
Shareholders who wish to exercise a vote before the AGM should lodge a Proxy Form by no later than 11:00am Sydney time on Tuesday 19 October 2021. Details of how to lodge a Proxy Form are set out below under the heading Timing.
Shareholders who do not lodge a valid Proxy Form by this time will only be able to vote at the AGM by lodging a vote in real time at the AGM via the online platform in the manner described under the heading Online voting at the AGM.
A shareholder who is unable to attend and vote at the AGM may appoint a proxy (see further information below under Voting by proxy) to attend and vote for the shareholder at the meeting. If a shareholder appoints a proxy by lodging a valid Proxy Form, but then attends the AGM and casts a valid vote in real time via the online platform, the Company will disregard any vote by that shareholder’s proxy.
Online voting at the AGM
Shareholders who wish to vote during the AGM using the online platform will have the opportunity to lodge a vote on the resolutions to be considered at the AGM at any time between the commencement of the AGM and the close of voting at the AGM as announced by the Chair during the AGM.
More information about how to use the online platform for voting is provided in the Online Meeting Guide. If you intend to use the online platform to submit a vote during the AGM, we suggest that you check that the online platform works on your device well in advance of the AGM. Further instructions are provided in the Online Meeting Guide.
As there will be no physical meeting, online voting will be the only way in which Shareholders can vote during the AGM.
Voting by Attorney
A Proxy Form and the original or certified copy of the Power of Attorney under which the Proxy Form is signed must be received by the Company no later than 11.00am Sydney time on Tuesday 19 October 2021.
Voting by corporate representative
If a corporate shareholder plans to attend through a corporate representative, it must appoint a person to act as its representative and the appointed person must provide appropriate written evidence of the appointment to the meeting signed under the corporation’s common seal or in accordance with section 127 of the Corporations Act.
Voting by proxy
A shareholder who is unable to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy to attend and vote for the shareholder at the meeting. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company and may be an individual or a body corporate.
If a shareholder is entitled to cast two or more votes, they may appoint up to two proxies and may specify the percentage or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. Where two proxies are appointed, each proxy may be appointed to represent a specific proportion of the shareholder’s voting rights and an additional form of proxy is available on request from the Company. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may generally vote, or abstain from voting, as they think fit. However, where a Restricted Voter is appointed as a proxy but not directed as to how to vote, the proxy may only vote on Resolution 1 if the proxy is the Chair of the meeting and the appointment 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. If such authorisation is given, the Chair intends to vote in favour of Resolution 1.
Where a shareholder appoints two proxies and the appointment does not specify the proportion or number of the shareholder’s votes each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half of the votes. The form of proxy must be signed by a shareholder or a shareholder’s attorney. Proxies given by corporations must be signed in accordance with their constituent documents or as authorised by the Corporations Act. If the form of proxy is executed under power of attorney it must accompany the form of proxy unless it has already been noted by the Company. In the case of joint shareholders, names of the joint shareholders should be shown on the form of proxy.
Shareholder Questions
Shareholders and proxyholders will be given an opportunity to ask questions in real-time by telephone. A personalised PIN is needed to ask questions by telephone. To receive a personalised PIN, please contact Link Market Services before the AGM. Dial-in details for the AGM and contact details for Link Market Services are included in the Online Guide.
If you plan to ask questions by telephone, you will still need to log into the online platform if you wish to vote during the meeting.
Shareholders who are unable to telephone during the online AGM or who may prefer to register questions in advance are invited to do so. Please log onto www.linkmarketservices.com.au, select “Voting” then click “Ask a Question”, or alternatively submit the enclosed Question Form. To allow time to collate questions and prepare answers, please submit any questions in advance of the AGM by 5:00pm Sydney time on Thursday 14 October 2021.
Questions will be collated and, during the AGM, the Chair will seek to address as many of the frequently raised topics as possible. However, there may not be sufficient time available at the AGM to address all topics raised. Please note individual responses will not be sent to shareholders.

Enero Group Limited · Notice of Meeting 2021 04
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Explanatory Statement has been prepared to provide shareholders with material information to enable them to make an informed decision on the business to be conducted at the AGM.
All shareholders should read this Explanatory Statement carefully and in its entirety before making any decision in relation to the resolutions.
Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report
Under the Corporations Act, the Directors of the Company must lay the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report and the Auditor’s Report for Enero for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 before the meeting ( Reports ).
These Reports are set out in Enero’s 2021 Annual Report, which has been made available to shareholders and is available on the - Company’s website at: https://www.enero.com/investor centre/ reports-presentations/.
Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity at the AGM to ask questions and make comments on the Reports.
The Company’s Auditor, KPMG, will be available at the AGM to answer shareholder questions on the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s report, the accounting policies adopted by Enero in relation to the preparation of Enero’s 2021 Annual Report and the independence of the Auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
No resolution is required to be moved in respect of this item of general business.
Resolution 1 – Non-binding resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report
Under the Corporations Act, the Company is required to include, in the Directors’ Report, a detailed Remuneration Report including prescribed information in relation to the remuneration of Directors and other members of the KMP and Enero’s remuneration practices ( Remuneration Report ).
The Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2021 is incorporated in Enero’s 2021 Annual Report (as part of the Directors’ Report) and is available on the Company’s website at: - - https://www.enero.com/investor centre/reports presentations/. The Remuneration Report contains information about Enero’s remuneration policy and practices. It also sets out the remuneration arrangements for KMP including Non-Executive Directors, the CEO and the Enero Executive team.
Shareholders will be given reasonable opportunity at the AGM to ask questions and make comments on the Remuneration Report.
The vote on the Remuneration Report is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, in accordance with the Corporations Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast are against adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2021 AGM, and if at the 2022 AGM at least 25% of the votes cast on the resolution for adoption of the 2022 Remuneration Report are against it, the Company will be required to put a resolution to the 2022 AGM, to approve calling an extraordinary general meeting to consider the election of Directors ( Spill Resolution ).
If more than 50% of shareholders vote in favour of the Spill Resolution, the Company must then convene an extraordinary general meeting ( Spill Meeting ) within 90 days of the 2022 AGM. All of the Directors who were in office when the 2022 Directors’ Report was approved, other than the Managing Director, will need to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting if they wish to continue as Directors.
At the Company’s previous AGM the votes cast against the Remuneration Report considered at that AGM were less than 25%. Accordingly, the Spill Resolution is not relevant for this AGM.
Each Director recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 1 to adopt the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 2 – Election of Director
Rule 6.1(e) of the Company’s Constitution requires any Director who has been appointed by the Directors since the last AGM either as an addition to the existing Directors or to fill a casual vacancy on the Board to retire. Retiring Directors may seek re-election. Louise Higgins was appointed as an independent, non-executive Director of the Board on 10 September 2021. Louise Higgins will retire at the AGM and is seeking re-election in accordance with rule 6.1(e) of the Company’s Constitution.
Louise Higgins joined ANZ in January 2020 as the Chief Financial Officer Technology and Enablement and in May 2021 was appointed CFO for Australia – covering Retail, Commercial and Digital Transformation. She has a diverse set of skills having worked across multiple industries during her 20-year career.

In 2017 she was appointed Chief Financial and Strategy Officer for the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) to oversee significant technology transformation. Her diverse non-executive career includes service with Commercial Radio Australia, Visit Victoria, Qudos Bank and Canteen Australia.
Louise holds a Bachelor of Business from UTS. She is a member of the Chartered Institute of Management Accountants UK and the AICD. In 2016 she completed the Advanced Management Program with the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, Chicago USA.
Each Director (other than Louise Higgins) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 to elect Louise Higgins as a Director of Enero.
Resolution 3 – Re-election of Director
Rule 6.1(f) of the Company’s Constitution requires a Director (other than the Managing Director) who, if he or she does not retire, will at the conclusion of the meeting have been in office for three or more years or for three or more AGMs since he or she was last elected to office, to retire at the AGM. Retiring Directors may seek re election. David Brain is currently a Director of the Company and in accordance with the Company’s Constitution will retire and will seek re-election at the AGM.

Resolution 4 – Allocation of Share Appreciation Rights to a Director under the Enero Share Appreciation Rights Plan
Brent Scrimshaw was appointed Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of the Company on 1 July 2020. Brent Scrimshaw’s remuneration is composed of the following elements:
-
Fixed remuneration – $824,000 per annum representing base salary together with statutory superannuation contributions;
-
Short-term incentive ( STI ) – determined annually by the Board subject to achievement of Operating EBITDA hurdles and Earnings Per Share growth hurdles. The STI is capped at 70% of Fixed remuneration; and
-
Long-term incentive ( LTI ) – participation in the SAR Plan.
In connection with Brent’s appointment, the Board granted Brent, subject to shareholder approval, Share Rights under the SAR Plan.
Why is shareholder approval being sought?
Under Listing Rule 10.14, shareholder approval is required in order for a Director to be issued securities under an employee incentive scheme. If shareholder approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14, shareholder approval is not required under Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 14, and the issue of such Share Rights to Brent Scrimshaw will not count towards the Company’s capacity to issue equity securities under Listing Rule 7.1.
Accordingly, shareholder approval is sought for the issue to Brent Scrimshaw of new Share Appreciation Rights under the terms of the SAR Plan.
The Company has determined that the issue of Share Rights under the SAR Plan pursuant to Resolution 4 as part of Brent Scrimshaw’s remuneration package will constitute the giving of reasonable remuneration for the purposes of Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act.
For the purposes of Listing Rule 10.15, an overview of the key terms of the proposed issue to Brent Scrimshaw is detailed below. This grant is conditional on receiving shareholder approval.
Key terms of the Share Rights grant to Brent Scrimshaw
Details of the proposed issue
The proposed issue of Share Rights to Brent Scrimshaw is for 1,300,000 Share Rights to be issued under the SAR Plan in three tranches, as follows:
-
433,333 Share Rights with a vesting date of 20 business days after the release to ASX of the Company's preliminary financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2022;
-
433,333 Share Rights with a vesting date of 20 business days after the release to ASX of the Company's preliminary financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2023; and
-
433,334 Share Rights with a vesting date of 20 business days after the release to ASX of the Company's preliminary financial report for the financial year ended 30 June 2024.
The issue represents the long-term incentive component of Brent Scrimshaw’s remuneration package.
Brent Scrimshaw was previously granted the following Share Rights:
1,250,000 Share Rights in October 2020. Shareholder approval was obtained in respect of this grant. 833,334 Share Rights remain outstanding as at 30 June 2021.
Price payable on issue or exercise
No payment will be required in relation to the issue and allotment of the Share Rights or on the exercise or vesting of the Share Rights. The Company will not raise any funds from the issue of the Share Rights.
Date of issue
If shareholder approval is obtained, the issue of the Share Rights to Brent Scrimshaw will be made shortly after the meeting and in any case no later than 12 months from the date of the meeting.
Exercise and issue
The exercise of each Share Right will entitle Brent Scrimshaw to receive a fraction of a Share based on a conversion formula of:
==> picture [130 x 19] intentionally omitted <==
Where:
A = the volume weighted average price of Shares as listed on the ASX ( Enero VWAP ) for the 20 trading days immediately before the vesting date.
B = the Enero VWAP for the 20 trading days immediately before the date of issue of the Share Right.
If A – B is less than or equal to zero, the Share Right will not vest and will immediately lapse on the applicable vesting date.
The total number of Shares received upon any conversion of Share Rights will be the number of Share Rights converted multiplied by E, with the result rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The maximum number of Shares which Brent Scrimshaw may acquire as a result of the Share Rights the subject of the grant vesting is 1,300,000 Shares.
Enero Group Limited · Notice of Meeting 2021 06
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Cessation of employment
All unvested Share Rights will immediately lapse where Brent Scrimshaw ceases employment in the event of resignation, termination for cause or other circumstances in which the Board determines that such treatment is warranted.
All vested Share Rights held by Brent Scrimshaw will immediately lapse where Brent Scrimshaw ceases employment in the event of termination for cause or any other circumstances in which the Board determines that such treatment is warranted.
Change of Control
Where a Change of Control event occurs in relation to the Company, the Board may, in its absolute discretion, determine that all or part of Brent Scrimshaw’s unvested Share Rights will become vested even though any applicable vesting date may not have been reached or any applicable performance conditions may not have been satisfied within any applicable performance period (and in making such a determination, the Board will have regard to the proportion of the performance period which has elapsed and the extent to which any applicable performance conditions have been satisfied).
Other information required by Listing Rule 10.15
Brent Scrimshaw is a Director of the Company and therefore a Listing Rule 10.14.1 party.
Brent Scrimshaw is currently the only Director of the Company entitled to participate in the SAR Plan.
There is no loan being provided to Brent Scrimshaw in relation to his acquisition of Share Rights.
Details of the total equity holdings of all KMP are provided in the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2021.
Details of any securities issued under the SAR Plan will be published in the Company’s annual report relating to the period in which they were issued along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
Any additional persons for whom shareholder approval is required under Listing Rule 10.14 who may become entitled to participate in the SAR Plan and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting must not participate in the plan until approval is obtained in accordance with Listing Rule 10.14.
Each Director (other than Brent Scrimshaw who abstains from making a recommendation because of his interest in the resolution) recommends that shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4 to grant Share Rights to Brent Scrimshaw.
