Funding FAR
==> picture [148 x 64] intentionally omitted <==
What it takes to get Institutional Funding
-
To present ourselves as highly professional
-
To deal with expectations on Governance and Remuneration practices
-
a one size fits all mentality is often not ideal for FAR
-
To recognise the ‘Proxy Advisor’ industry is inescapable
-
need to engage with them pro-actively
-
We compete globally for funds and relentless marketing to institutions is a necessity

We have upgraded our Governance Framework

• Committees & Charters

Remuneration frameworks
==> picture [148 x 64] intentionally omitted <==
Global Listed Company Remuneration Frameworks
-
Post GFC listed companies globally have moved to to satisfy political and institutional demand that management’s interest are more clearly and transparently aligned with shareholders interests
-
This has led to remuneration structures composed of:
base salary + a substantial ‘at risk’ component
-
The ‘at risk’ component typically consists of:
-
short term incentives (STI) – generally annual cash bonuses
- determined by achievement of well defined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)
and
-
long term incentives (LTI) generally performance rights
-
determined by reference to measures of shareholder returns
10
Frameworks
-
Institutions rely on Proxy advisors to determine their voting
-
engaging and meeting the requirements of the proxy advisors is essential
-
but various advisors have different views making even this part difficult
-
retail investors generally are opposed to these remuneration concepts
-
they appear complex
-
partly because they know that instead of restricting bad behaviour they have created opportunities to ‘game’ the system – and some do!
A well constructed scheme can act as a powerful motivator to staff from which shareholders should benefit
There is nothing inherently wrong with the system but
the devil is in the detail
11
What are Performance Rights ?
-
They are not a share or an option
-
The requirements are measured in 3 years time (the vesting date) – until then the –
-
employee gets nothing that’s why they call them long term incentives
-
If the grant requirements are satisfied then:
-
either a newly created share is issued to the employee for each right; or
-
FAR buys a share in the market for each right and delivers to the employee
-
The Board has discretion to amend these rights and claw back any granted shares at any stage if warranted – e.g. ‘bad leaver provisions’

15
The FAR Remuneration Framework
- Total Possible Remuneration = base Salary (50%) + theoretical max ‘at risk’ component (50%)
• base salary = cash $558,000 FAR MD example
-
subject to annual performance review
-
‘at risk’ = 1/2 STI + 1/2 LTI
-
STI (cash payment)
Max $279,000
On our MD’s recommendation FAR board has determined this will be zero in 2015 & 2016 due to industry conditions
- a formula which calculates the % of the maximum possible determined by KPI’s based around operational metrics
-
LTI (performance rights) Max $279,000/$.078 = 3,578,000 rights
-
number of rights calculated by dividing the max $ amount into the VWAP share price for 20 days preceding 1st February each year (date chosen to work in conjunction with the preparation of the annual account)

Calculating the final number of performance rights
-
In 3 years time the 2016 LTI grant will be determined
-
Absolute Share Price Measure
FAR MD example
- If the share price has grown at less than 15% compound for the 3 years i.e. the share price is <$0.119
0 shares
- If the share price has grown at 15% compound for 3 years i.e. the share price is >$0.119
894,500 shares
- If the share price has grown at 25% compound for 3 years i.e. the share price is >$0.152
1,789,000 shares
-
Relative Share Price Measure (comparator group S&P/ASX Energy 300)
-
The idea is to remove the ‘market effect’ from this component
-
If the share price growth is worse than 50% of the group
0 shares
- If the share price growth is better than 50% of the group
894,500 shares
- If the share price growth is better than 75% of the group
1,789,000 shares
19
Summary
-
In 2016 our Managing Director will be paid (subject to the resolutions being passed today)
-
Cash A$558,000
-
She will not be paid a cash bonus
-
She will not receive any free options or shares
-
She will receive 3,578,000 performance rights which in 3 years will turn into between zero and 3,578,000 shares if the share price does well on both an absolute and relative basis
-
Our COO’s outcomes are similar
On any comparative basis in the industry our MD and COO are paid at the low end of the scale yet have performed at the top end
