PRIMARY HEALTH CARE LTD Notice of Annual General Meeting 2017

Explanatory Statement

Item 1: Receipt of Annual Financial Report

1.1 As required by the Corporations Act, the Financial Report, the Directors’ Report, and the Auditor’s Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2017 will be laid before this AGM.

  • 1.2 There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this item. However, the Chair of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for the shareholders as a whole at this AGM to ask questions about, or make comments on, these reports.

Item 2: Adoption of the 2017 Remuneration Report

  • 2.1 The Company’s Annual Report for the year ended 30 June 2017 contains a Remuneration Report on pages 37 to 67 ( the Remuneration Report ). The Remuneration Report sets out the policy for the remuneration of the Directors and certain senior managers of the Company and the entities it controlled during the year ended 30 June 2017 ( the Primary Group ). The Company’s 2017 Annual Report (which includes the 2017 Remuneration Report) is available on the Company’s website at www.primaryhealthcare.com.au.

  • 2.2 The 2017 Remuneration Report:

  • (a) provides discussion of the Board’s policy on remuneration of Directors and senior executives, and the relationship between such policy and the Company’s performance;

  • (b) sets out prescribed information in relation to the Directors and senior executives, including their fixed remuneration and any performance-related remuneration; and

  • (c) sets out additional disclosures in relation to the remuneration of Directors and senior executives in response to questions and comments on the 2016 Remuneration Report at the Company’s 2016 Annual General Meeting and elsewhere.

  • 2.3 The remuneration policy for the senior executives of the Primary Group aims to align long-term incentives for senior executives with the delivery of sustainable value to shareholders, while enabling the Group to attract and retain senior executives with the appropriate skills, qualifications and experience.

  • 2.4 Non-executive Directors receive a fixed fee, which includes statutory superannuation contributions. Fees are not linked to the performance of the Company so that independence and impartiality are maintained.

  • 2.5 The Board’s Nomination and Remuneration Committee reviews the remuneration packages of Directors and senior executives on an annual basis and makes recommendations to the Board. Remuneration packages are reviewed with due regard to performance and other relevant factors.

  • 2.6 The Nomination and Remuneration Committee has the authority to retain legal, accounting or other advisers, consultants or experts as the Committee considers appropriate, to assist it in meeting its responsibilities to develop remuneration recommendations for the Board, by providing independent advice regarding remuneration strategies, incentive plans and objective market practice of other listed companies.

  • 2.7 The Chair of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity for the shareholders as a whole to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

  • 2.8 Shareholders will be asked to vote on a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report at the meeting. The vote on the resolution will be advisory only and will not bind the Directors, however the Board will take the outcome of the vote and any discussion into consideration when reviewing the remuneration policy for Directors and senior managers in the future.

Recommendation on Item 2

  • 2.9 The Remuneration Report forms part of the Directors’ Report for the year ended 30 June 2017 and is made in accordance with a unanimous resolution of the Directors. The Company’s 2017 Annual Report (incorporating the Remuneration Report) sets out significant changes that have been made by your Directors to the Company’s remuneration and governance structures over the last few years. Additional disclosure has been made in this year’s Remuneration Report in response to feedback from stakeholders. The continuing actions on remuneration and governance are summarised in the Company’s 2017 Annual Report in the Letter from the Chair of the Nomination and Remuneration Committee (page 38).

  • 2.10 While noting that each Director has a personal interest in their remuneration, as described in the Remuneration Report, your Directors unanimously recommend that shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.

  • 2.11 If you appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, and you do not direct your proxy on how to vote on the resolution in Item 2 on the Proxy Form, you will be expressly authorising the Chair of the Meeting to exercise your proxy even if Item 2 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the a member of the KMP, which includes the Chair of the Meeting.

  • 2.12 The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Item 2.

Item 3: Re-election of Mr Robert Hubbard as a Director

  • 3.1 Article 13.6 of the Company’s Constitution requires that at the conclusion of every AGM, one third of the Board (other than casual appointees, alternate Directors or the Managing Director) ( Eligible Directors ) (rounded down to the nearest whole number) must retire from office, but may be eligible for re-election. Mr Robert Hubbard will retire at the AGM and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election by shareholders. (Mr Brian Ball will also retire from office at the conclusion of the AGM, but is not offering himself for re-election.)

  • 3.2 Although the Company’s Constitution prohibits a Director from retaining office for more than three years (or until the conclusion of the third AGM following their last election, whichever is longer), the requirement for at least one third of Eligible Directors to retire at every AGM means that a Director may be required to retire after a shorter time interval. Because of the changes in the Board over the past three years, such a situation applies at this AGM and consequently Mr Hubbard has offered to submit himself for re-election despite the fact that he has served only two years since election at the 2015 AGM.

6

  • 3.3 A profile of Mr Hubbard is as follows:

  • (a) Relationship with the Company: Mr Hubbard, BA (Hons), FCA, aged 58, is a Non-executive Director of the Company, appointed in December 2014. On 27 February 2015, he became the Chairman of the Audit Committee and a member of the Risk Management Committee.

  • (b) Background and experience: Mr Hubbard holds a Bachelor of Accounting (Honours) degree from the University of Birmingham and is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in Australia. He previously held numerous partnership positions in the accounting, corporate finance, assurance and audit divisions of PricewaterhouseCoopers and acted as external auditor for some of Australia’s largest ASX-listed companies.

  • (c) Other current material Directorships: Mr Hubbard is Chairman of Central Petroleum Limited (since 2015; a Director since December 2013), Chairman of Orocobre Limited (since July 2016; a Director since November 2012) and a Non-executive Director of Bendigo and Adelaide Bank Limited (since April 2013, where he is Chairman of the Audit Committee and a member of the Risk Committee).

  • (d) The Board considers that Mr Hubbard is an independent Director.

Recommendation on Item 3

  • 3.4 Your Directors (other than Mr Hubbard, who abstains) unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Hubbard.

  • 3.5 The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Item 3.

Item 4: Approval of Primary Health Care Rights Plan and Short Term Incentive Plan

  • 4.1 The Short Term Incentive Plan ( STIP ) and the Primary Health Care Rights Plan ( LTIP ) (collectively referred to in the Remuneration Report as the “Primary Executive Incentive Plan”) were adopted by the Board in 2016. The STIP and LTIP are designed to create a stronger link between increasing shareholder value and senior employee reward.

  • 4.2 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides (in summary) that an entity cannot issue more than 15% of its existing issued share capital in any 12 month period without shareholder approval, subject to a number of exceptions set out in ASX Listing Rule 7.2. The number of shares that a company can issue under this rule without shareholder approval is commonly referred to as that company’s “placement capacity”.

  • 4.3 Under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 Exception 9, Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to issues of securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within 3 years before the date of issue, shareholders approve the issue of securities under the scheme as an exception to that rule. Shareholder approval is being sought so that issues of securities under the STIP and LTIP over the next three years will fall within the ASX Listing Rule exception and will not reduce the Company’s available placement capacity.

  • 4.4 Your Directors believe that awards made to eligible employees under the STIP and LTIP are providing, and will continue to provide, a powerful tool to drive Company performance and shareholder value, and that the continued implementation of the STIP and LTIP will:

  • enable the Company to recruit and retain the talented people needed to achieve the Company’s business objectives; and

  • link the reward of key staff with the achievements of strategic goals and the long term performance of the Company in the interests of shareholders.

Information for shareholders required under the ASX Listing Rules

  • 4.5 ASX Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 9 requires the following information to be included in this Notice of Meeting:

  • (a) A summary of the key terms of the STIP and LTIP are set out in Attachment A to this Notice of Meeting.

  • (b) The STIP and LTIP in their current form have not yet been approved by the Company’s shareholders. The number of securities issued under the current form of the STIP and LTIP to date (since their commencement in 2016) is:

CLASS OF SECURITIES NUMBER ISSUED NUMBER LAPSED NUMBER VESTED NUMBER ON FOOT
Service Rights 517,198 465 90,516 426,217
Performance Rights 5,973,172 929,598 5,043,574
OrdinaryShares 90,516 N/A N/A 90,516

Recommendation on Item 4

4.6 Your Directors (other than Dr Malcolm Parmenter, who is excluded from voting) unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the future grant of Performance Rights and Service Rights and the issue of Company shares under the Primary Executive Incentive Plan.

4.7 If you appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, and you do not direct your proxy on how to vote on the resolution in Item 4 on the Proxy Form, you will be expressly authorising the Chair of the Meeting to exercise your proxy even if Item 4 is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the a member of the KMP, which includes the Chair of the Meeting.

4.8 The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of Item 4.

PRIMARY HEALTH CARE LTD Notice of Annual General Meeting 2017

Explanatory Statement

  • Item 5: Approval of acquisition of securities by the Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Dr Malcolm Parmenter, under the STIP and LTIP

  • 5.1 As part of his executive remuneration arrangements, Dr Malcolm Parmenter, the Company’s Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer ( MD & CEO ), is eligible to receive Rights under the Company’s STIP and LTIP. A Right is a right to acquire an ordinary share in the capital of the Company ( Share ), subject to meeting certain service-related vesting conditions (in the case of Service Rights ) or performance-related vesting conditions (in the case of Performance Rights ). The Board may also elect to deliver the value of the Right in the form of cash, or combination of Shares and cash.

  • 5.2 Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the Company must seek shareholder approval to grant securities in the Company to a Director of the Company, including the MD & CEO, under an employee incentive scheme. Accordingly, shareholder approval is being sought to enable the Company to grant Rights to the MD & CEO, and subsequently issue shares to the MD & CEO on the vesting of those Rights.

  • 5.3 Shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 is not required if Shares to be allocated on the vesting of Rights are purchased on market, as opposed to being issued (see ASX Listing Rule 10.15B). However, as part of the ongoing changes to its overall remuneration approach over the past few years (and for good governance reasons), the Company wishes to give shareholders the opportunity to approve the issue of securities to the MD & CEO in relation to future awards that may be made under the STIP and LTIP. By obtaining shareholder approval, the Company can also preserve its flexibility to issue shares on vesting of Rights, at times where it is considered in the Company’s best interests to issue Shares rather than source them on-market.

Information for shareholders required under ASX Listing Rules

  • 5.4 ASX Listing Rule 10.15A requires the following information to be included in this Notice of Meeting:

  • (a) The maximum number of Rights which may be acquired by the MD & CEO, including the formula (if one is used) for calculating the number of securities to be issued

Two types of awards are granted under the STIP and LTIP:

  • short term incentive awards ( STI Awards ), which may be paid in the form of cash, equity (Service Rights) or a combination of both; and

  • long term incentive awards ( LTI Awards ) which are paid in the form of equity (Performance Rights).

Each year, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee sets annual STI Award performance objectives for various Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ). KPIs can be in the nature of binary goals (where the potential result is either achieved or not achieved), a range where the award is made on a percentage basis from 0-100 depending on the level to which the particular KPI has been achieved, or scalable goals where potential results may be presented as a range – for example, Threshold (the minimum level of achievement necessary to qualify for the award), Target (when the performance target is met) and Stretch (when performance targets have been significantly exceeded and the award has reached its upper limit). At the end of each year, the Nomination and Remuneration Committee may decide to grant STI Awards depending on whether the relevant KPIs have been achieved. Further details of KPIs and the achievement of those objectives in FY 2017 (for KMP) are set out in the Remuneration Report (located at pages 37-67 of the Company’s 2017 Annual Report).

  • (i) Maximum number of securities to be acquired under the STIP

The STI Awards to be awarded to the MD & CEO under the STIP comprise a 75% cash component and a 25% equity component, to be granted in the form of Service Rights.

It is proposed that the maximum number of Service Rights to be granted to the MD &CEO in a given year will be calculated as follows:

Base Package X Maximum STI Proportion X STI Equity Proportion Rights Value

where:

Base Package means base salary of MD & CEO in the relevant financial year (inclusive of superannuation, allowances, benefits and any applicable fringe benefits tax).

Maximum STI Proportion means 58.3%, which represents the value of the STI Award which may be granted in a particular year as a proportion of the MD & CEO’s Base Package, assuming each of the MD & CEO’s KPIs are achieved in the relevant financial year at Target level. If a Stretch KPI is achieved, the Maximum STI Proportion is adjusted. The maximum such adjustment possible in relation to STI Awards for FY 2017 would have been +7% (to 65.3% of Base Package), however no Stretch KPIs were met and so no such adjustment was applied.

STI Equity Proportion means 25%, which represents the proportion of the STI Award that will be paid in the form of Service Rights.

Rights Value means:

  • (a) the standard volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) for the Company’s shares for the 10 trading days following the announcement of the Company’s full year financial results of the financial year to which the STI Award relates (for example, the calculation in respect of an STI Award for FY 2017 would be made in the 10 day trading period following the release of the FY 2017 results); less

  • (b) the expected value of dividends on a Share over the applicable vesting period of the Service Rights (described in paragraph (iii) following).

( STI Formula )

8

  • (ii) Maximum number of securities to be acquired under the LTIP

LTI Awards are granted in the form of Performance Rights.

It is proposed that the maximum number of Performance Rights to be granted to the MD &CEO under the LTIP in a given year will be calculated as follows:

Base Package X Maximum LTI Proportion

Rights Value

where:

Base Package means base salary of MD & CEO in the relevant financial year (inclusive of superannuation, allowances, benefits and any applicable fringe benefits tax).

Maximum LTI Proportion means 116.6%, which represents the maximum value of the LTI Award (assuming achievement of Stretch goals) which may be granted in a given year as a proportion of the MD & CEO’s Base Package.

Rights Value means:

  • (a) the standard volume weighted average price ( VWAP ) for the Company’s shares for the 10 trading days following the most recent announcement of the Company’s financial results (for example, the calculation in respect of an LTI Award for FY 2017 would be made in the 10 day trading period following the release of the FY 2017 results); less

  • (b) the expected value of dividends on a Share over the applicable measurement period of the Performance Rights (described in paragraph (iii) below).

( LTI Formula )

  • (iii) Acquisition of Shares on vesting of Rights

On vesting of a Service Right or Performance Right, the MD &CEO will be entitled to receive one ordinary share in the capital of the Company ( Share ). The Board may also determine to deliver the value of the Rights in the form of cash, or a combination of Shares and cash.

In respect of Service Rights granted to the MD &CEO under the STIP, 50% of such Rights will vest one year from the date of grant, and the other 50% will vest two years from the date of grant (subject in each case, to the MD & CEO remaining employed by the Primary Group at the end of the applicable vesting period, unless the Board determines otherwise).

In respect of Performance Rights granted under the LTIP, the applicable measurement period is 3 years, commencing at the start of the financial year to which the grant relates. Determination of vesting will occur following the end of a measurement period, having regard to the extent to which vesting conditions have been satisfied.

In respect of LTI Awards made to the MD & CEO, 50% of the Performance Rights will be subject to a vesting condition based on the Company’s relative Total Shareholder Return ( rTSR ) ( rTSR Performance Rights ), while the other 50% will be subject to a vesting condition based on Return on Invested Capital ( ROIC ) ( ROIC Performance Rights ).

rTSR is assessed over the relevant measurement period by comparing the Company’s Total Shareholder Return ( TSR ) with the TSRs of a comparator group of companies listed on the ASX. TSR is based on share price movements on ASX plus distributions paid in respect of those shares. The rTSR Performance Rights are assessed on a vesting scale with Target and Stretch levels, such that:

  • no rTSR Performance Rights will vest unless the Company’s rTSR over the measurement period exceeds the Target outcome established by the Board;

  • 50% of the rTSR Performance Rights will vest if the Target outcome is achieved; and

  • 100% of the rTSR Performance Rights will vest if the Stretch outcome is achieved or exceeded.

Vesting of the rTSR Performance Rights occurs on a straight line basis if outcomes are achieved between Target and Stretch.

ROIC is calculated using underlying Earnings Before Interest and Tax ( EBIT ) as a percentage of average invested capital. The ROIC Performance Rights are assessed on a vesting scale with Threshold, Target and Stretch levels, such that:

  • no ROIC Performance Rights will vest unless the Company’s average ROIC over the measurement period exceeds the Threshold outcome established by the Board;

  • 25% of the ROIC Performance Rights will vest if the Threshold outcome is achieved;

  • 50% of the ROIC Performance Rights will vest if the Target outcome is achieved; and

  • 100% of the ROIC Performance Rights will vest if the Stretch outcome is achieved or exceeded.

Vesting of the ROIC Performance Rights occurs on a straight line basis if outcomes are achieved between Threshold, Target and Stretch.

Part A - Summary of key terms of Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP)

Part A - Summary of key terms of Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP)
Purpose The purpose of the short term incentive (STI) is to create a strong link between performance and reward
by providing a variable/at risk element of executive remuneration that focuses on performance, generally
over a period of one year.
Eligibility Senior Executivesare eligible to participate in the STIP. These comprise the MD & CEO, other Key
Management Personnel (as defined in the Corporations Act) who hold executive roles, other direct reports
to the MD & CEO, and other persons selected by the Board.
Non-executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the STIP.
Form of awards STI Awards may be paid in the form of cash, equity (which may include Shares, Rights, options or other
securities), or a combination of both.
A Right is a right to acquire a Share. Rights can take the form of:
�Service Rights, which, once issued, are subject to the relevant participant remaining employed by the
Company for a predetermined period; at the end of that period the Service Rights vest and one ordinary
Share is issued for each vested Right; and
�Performance Rights, which, once issued, are subject to various performance hurdles being met by the
Company over a predetermined measurement period. At the end of the measurement period, if the
performance hurdles have been met, the Performance Rights vest and one ordinary Share is issued
for each vested Right. If the performance hurdles have not been met the Rights lapse and no Shares
are issued.
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the 25% equity portion of each STI Award is entirely composed
of Service Rights.
The portion of an award that would be paid in the form of cash, and which is not subject to deferral, may be
reduced in accordance with the application of salary sacrifice arrangements entered into by the participant.
Deferral The Board may determine, as part of an ofer, that part of an STI Award will be deferred for a specified period
(which may be subject to conditions such as length of service). This may occur by making part of any cash
payment under the STI Award at a future date or dates.
If equity is provided in relation to deferred STI Awards, the deferral may take the form of a service based
vesting condition, a disposal restriction (i.e. such that the Shares allocated on vesting are subject to certain
restrictions on disposal), or both.
The STI Awards granted for FY 2017 comprised a 75% cash component and a 25% equity component (which
was granted in the form of Service Rights). Half of those Services Rights are deferred for one year (meaning
they vest one year after the end of FY 2017), and the other half of those Services Rights are deferred for 2
years (meaning they vest two years after the end of FY 2017), in each case subject to the participant remaining
employed by the Primary Group at the end of the applicable vesting period (unless the Board determines
otherwise).
Criteria for STI Whether any STI Award is made in relation to a given financial year (and, if made, the amount of the
assessment award) depends on the extent to which the relevant participant has met their performance criteria or Key
Performance Indicators (KPIs).
Each KPI is allocated a weighting for each financial year that relates to the Target level of performance and
reward. The weightings and nature of the KPIs may change from measurement period to measurement period.
In FY 2017, the KPIs used for the STI Awards included:
�Underlying Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of the Primary Group as a whole;
�NPAT of the business division of which the relevant participant is a member;
�financial targets, including Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT), operating cash flow (OCF) and capital
expenditure of the particular State (within the business division) where the relevant participant is located;
�various role-specific KPIs assigned to the relevant participant in relation to the financial year; and
�various behavioural KPIs assigned to the relevant participant in relation to the financial year.
KPIs can be in the nature of binary goals (where the potential result is either achieved or not achieved),
a maximum goal (where the potential result for that KPI may be anywhere from zero up to the maximum goal),
or scalable goals where potential results may be presented as a range (i.e. Threshold, Target and Stretch). The
calibration of performance conditions for an STI Award (including the vesting scales applied by the Board) may
difer from year to year. In addition to the above criteria, all STI Awards are subject to a post-hoc quality of
earnings test, the nature and application of which are at the Board’s absolute discretion.

earned prior to the amendment or termination are not afected, unless otherwise agreed in writing by
the participants.

Part B - Summary of key terms of Primary Health Care Rights Plan (LTIP)

Part B - Summary of key terms of Primary Health Care Rights Plan (LTIP)
Purpose The purpose of the LTIP is to create a strong link between performance and reward by providing a variable/at
risk element of executive remuneration that focuses on performance and/or service over a period of generally
three or more years.
Eligibility All full-time and permanent part-time employees including Directors (but excluding Non-executive Directors)
of the Company and its subsidiary companies are eligible to participate in the LTIP.
Form of awards Under the LTIP, awards can be made in the form of “Rights”.
A Right is a right to acquire a Share. Rights can take the form of:
�Service Rights, which, once issued, are subject to the relevant participant remaining employed by the
Company for a predetermined period; at the end of that period the Service Rights vest and one ordinary
Share is issued for each vested Right; and
�Performance Rights, which, once issued, are subject to various performance hurdles being met by the
Company over a predetermined measurement period. At the end of the measurement period, if the
performance hurdles have been met, the Performance Rights vest and one ordinary Share is issued
for each vested Right. If the performance hurdles have not been met the Rights lapse and no Shares
are issued.
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, Rights issued under the LTIP are all Performance Rights.
The Board may also issue “Deferred Rights” which are fully vested at grant and automatically exercised
90 days after the date of their grant.
Rights do not attract dividends or distributions and voting rights in respect of Shares, until the Right vests
and Shares are allocated to the holder upon vesting.
A grant of Rights under the LTIP is subject to both the LTIP rules and the terms of the specific grant.
Vesting and Exercise When a Performance Right or Services Right vests, it is automatically exercised, that is, for each Right that
vests, the Company issues one Ordinary Share to the relevant participant.
On exercise of a Right, the Board may determine in its absolute discretion whether to deliver the value of the
Right in the form of Shares (either through a new issue or on market acquisition), cash or a combination of
Shares and cash.
Each Right will be granted for nil monetary consideration and will not have an exercise price.
No Shares acquired by participants on exercise may be disposed of if to do so would breach the Company’s
share trading policy or insider trading prohibitions. In addition, Shares allocated on vesting of Right may
be subject to specified disposal restrictions (as set out in the terms of the relevant award) which prevent the
acquired Share being disposed of for a specified period following acquisition.
Vesting Conditions Determination of vesting will occur following the end of a measurement period, having regard to the extent
to which vesting conditions have been satisfied. Vesting conditions may relate to:
�service of the participant – i.e. their continued employment with the Company; or
�performance of the Company or an aspect of the Company’s operations or the participant; or
�any combination of the foregoing determined by the Board for each tranche.
The measurement period for grants of Rights under the LTIP will be three years (commencing on the first
day of the financial year in which the grant is made), unless otherwise determined by the Board.
Performance conditions may vary between diferent awards or tranches of awards.
Retesting The LTIP allows for the retesting of Performance Rights, but:
�only one retest is allowed per tranche of Performance Rights;
�retesting may only be done of if no vesting has occurred at the end of the relevant measurement period;
and
�retesting may only be done if the vesting scale is expressed in terms that permit pro-rata increase of the
difculty of the hurdle to account for the additional time.
A retest extends the measurement period by one year (to four years).
Vesting scales The Board may determine a number of vesting outcomes via the use of a Target performance outcome,
a Stretch performance outcome, and if appropriate, a Threshold performance outcome.
Stretch represents an outstanding level of performance, which will be aligned with a maximum award
opportunity for a particular performance metric. Pro rata awards will apply for performance that falls between
Target and Stretch, and Threshold and Target. Below Threshold, no rights will vest.
Under the LTIP, the Board retains discretion to increase or decrease, including to nil, the vesting percentage in
relation to each tranche of Performance Rights if it forms the view that it is appropriate to do so. In exercising
this discretion, the Board will take into account (among other things), the Company’s performance from the
perspective of shareholders over the relevant measurement period.

PRIMARY HEALTH CARE LTD Notice of Annual General Meeting 2017

Attachment A

Lapse and If Rights in a tranche have not vested and there is no opportunity for those Rights to vest at a later date,
transferability they will lapse.
Other than in limited circumstances, Rights may not be disposed of, transferred or otherwise dealt with,
and lapse immediately on a purported disposal, transfer or dealing.
Termination If a participant ceases to be an employee of the Primary Group, and the termination of their employment
of employment is in circumstances other than Special Circumstances (defined below), then all unvested Rights held by the
participant will be forfeited and lapse unless and to the extent otherwise determined by the Board.
If a participant’s termination is in Special Circumstances, then Performance and Service Rights granted in the
financial year of termination will be forfeited in the same proportion that the remainder of the financial year
bears to the full financial year, unless otherwise determined by the Board.
Performance Rights and Service Rights that do not lapse at the termination of employment will continue
to be held by participants with a view to testing for vesting at the end of the relevant measurement period.
Special Circumstancesmeans death, total and permanent disablement as determined by the Board,
retirement with the prior consent of the Board, redundancy, retrenchment or other Company-initiated
terminations other than for cause.
Bonus Issues, Rights In cases of bonus share issues by the Company, the number of Rights held by a participant shall be increased
Issues and Capital by the same number as the number of bonus shares that would have been received by the participants had
Reorganisation the Rights been fully paid ordinary shares in the Company (except in the case that the bonus share issue
is in lieu of a dividend payment, in which case no adjustment will apply).
In the case of general rights issues to Shareholders there will be no adjustment to the Rights. However, the
Board may consider issuing options of a number up to the number of Shares to which the participant would
have been entitled had the Rights been Shares. The exercise price of such options will be equal to the amount
payable by shareholders under the rights issue.
In the case of an issue of rights other than to the Company’s shareholders, there will be no adjustment
to the Rights.
In the case of other capital reconstructions, the Board may make such adjustments to the Rights as it
considers appropriate.
Change of Control Unless otherwise determined by the Board, in the event of a Change of Control of the Company (defined
including Takeover below), the vesting conditions attached to a tranche of Rights at the time of the relevant Change of Control
ofer will cease to apply and:
�unvested Performance Rights granted in the final year of the Change of Control will lapse in the proportion
that the remainder of the financial year bears to the full financial year;
�all remaining unvested Performance Rights will vest in accordance with the application of the following
formula (noting that negative results will be taken to be nil):
Unvested Performance Rights
X
Share Price at the Change of Control – Ofer Share Price
Ofer Share Price
where:
Share Price at the Change of Controlmeans the volume weighted average share price (VWAP) at which the
Company’s shares were traded on ASX in the 14 days prior to the date of calculation (i.e. the date on which the
Change of Control (defined below) occurs).

Offer Share Price means the VWAP at which the Company’s shares traded on ASX in the 14 days following announcement of the most recent annual results of the Company, or such other date determined by the Board. � any remaining unvested Performance Rights that do not vest in accordance with the above formula will lapse unless otherwise determined by the Board; � all unvested Service Rights will vest; and � any disposal restrictions applied to Deferred Rights by the Company and specified as part of the LTI Award will be lifted (including the removal of any Company-initiated CHESS holding lock if applicable), unless otherwise determined by the Board.

A Change of Control occurs when the Board advises participants that one or more persons acting in concert have acquired, or are likely to imminently acquire “control” of the Company as defined in section 50AA of the Corporations Act.

The Board may at any time amend or repeal all or any of the provisions of the LTIP.

Amendment The Board may at any time amend or repeal all or any of the provisions of the LTIP. No amendment or repeal of the LTIP Rules can be made if it reduces the rights of existing participants in respect of prior offers, unless the relevant participant consents, or where the amendment is introduced primarily to comply with legal requirements, to correct any manifest error or mistake, or to address possible adverse tax implications for participants generally or the Company arising from (amongst other things) changes in law or tax rulings.
