The Chair of the Meeting intends to vote all undirected proxies in favour of each item of business.

  • Under the Corporations Act, the Chair of the Meeting will also be taken to have been appointed as a shareholder’s proxy (even if the shareholder has not expressly appointed the Chair of the Meeting as their proxy) where each of the following applies: i. a poll is called on the relevant resolution;

  • ii. a shareholder has appointed a proxy (other than the Chair of the Meeting) and the appointment of the proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and

  • iii. the proxy is either not recorded as attending the Meeting, or the proxy attends the Meeting but does not vote on the resolution.

RECOMMENDATION ON ITEM 2

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

  • 2.6 Your Directors unanimously recommend shareholders vote in favour of adopting the 2019 Remuneration Report.

Item 3: Re-election of Dr Paul Jones as a Director

  • 3.1 Dr Jones, M.B., B.S., F.A.M.A, is a Non-executive Director of the Company who was first appointed in 2010. In accordance with clause 13.6 of the Company’s Constitution, Dr Jones retires by rotation at this Meeting and offers himself for re-election. Dr Jones is a member of the People & Governance Committee. He practices as a General Practitioner ( GP ) at a Healius Group medical centre in Port Macquarie NSW.

  • (a) Background and experience: Dr Jones has over 30 years’ experience in a broad range of general medical practice, including thirteen years’ experience in the Healius Group’s medical centres. Dr Jones originally trained at the Repatriation and General Hospital, Concord NSW and subsequently at Calvary Public Hospital, Bruce ACT. He has been a Director and Federal Councillor of the Australian Medical Association ( AMA ), a past President of AMA ACT and a member of the Federal AMA Council of General Practice. He was formerly a general practitioner adviser to Calvary Public Hospital and held roles as GP Visiting Medical Officer and Director, Medical Education Program. Dr Jones is a former Chair of the ACT GP Workforce Working Group and was a member of the ACT Health Minister’s GP Task Force in 2009. In 2010 he was awarded Fellowship of the AMA.

  • (b) Other current Directorships: Nil.

  • (c) The Board considers that Dr Jones is an independent Director. In forming this view the Board has taken into account the relationship between Dr Jones and the Company arising from Dr Jones’ practice as a GP at a Healius Group medical centre. The Board does not consider any aspect of that relationship (financial or otherwise) to be of a nature or magnitude that would cause Dr Jones not to be independent.

RECOMMENDATION ON ITEM 3

  • 3.2 Your Directors (other than Dr Jones, who abstains) unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the re-election of Dr Jones.

6

Item 4: Approval of issue of securities under the Transformation Long-Term Incentive Plan

  • 4.1 Your Directors aim to ensure that the Company’s long-term incentive plan is straightforward, motivational and competitive, with strong alignment to shareholder value.

  • Since the appointment of Dr Malcolm Parmenter as CEO, the Company has developed its current strategy which aims to deliver a sustainable increase in shareholder returns over time, with the longest-dated initiative being the Laboratory Information System in Pathology which is expected to take five years to fully implement.

In FY 2019, the Company raised capital to underpin this strategy and made substantial progress on key initiatives including the acquisition of Montserrat Day Hospitals, the comprehensive renewal of the Medical Centres model, and the roll-out of core technology platforms in its three major divisions. At the end of FY 2019, the Company also undertook major structural changes to best position itself to deliver the strategy and drive earnings to support its capital investment.

Your Board believes the current executive team are the best people to execute the Company’s strategy. However, the Board also considers the existing long-term incentive plan neither adequately incentivises these executives in relation to delivery of the strategy nor adequately aligns them to its long-dated timeframe.

As a result your Board has developed a new Transformation Long-Term Incentive Plan ( TLTIP ) specifically to retain and motivate this team to deliver over the term of the strategic plan, with the key components being a close alignment to cumulative shareholder returns and a measurement period of five years.

  • 4.2 The principal improvements of the TLTIP are:

  • long-term value creation is prioritised by moving 25% of the existing potential Short-Term Incentive ( STI ) award (at budgeted performance levels) into the long-term plan. This includes increasing the portion moved by 1.2 times dollar value reflecting the longer-dated and riskier nature of a Long-Term Incentive ( LTI ) award;

  • the grant of Options (rather than Performance Rights) in order to reward participants for the growth potential in the Company’s share price and thereby strengthen their alignment to shareholders’ interests;

  • a one-off grant of Options, rather than annual grants, to cover a three-year period from FY 2020 with Options exercisable in equal tranches at the end of FY 2022, FY 2023 and FY 2024. This one-off grant creates more incentive for participants and enables the length of the TLTIP to be extended to align with the five-year timeframe of the strategy;

  • the exercise of Options to be subject to cumulative Earnings per Share ( EPS ) growth and relative Total Shareholder Return ( rTSR ) for the CEO and CFO (split 2/3 to 1/3 between EPS and rTSR) to ensure a measurable and close alignment to shareholder returns. For the divisional CEOs, a divisional Earnings Before Interest and Tax ( EBIT ) growth metric to be added to increase their motivation through a directly controllable metric (with the split 40%: 20%: 40% between EPS, rTSR and EBIT);

  • underlying earnings to be used in the measurement of EPS and EBIT rather than statutory earnings to ensure management do not benefit from a lower starting point for statutory earnings than underlying earnings in FY 2019 and hence a higher delta over time; and

  • in order to provide confidence on adjustments between underlying and statutory results, the underlying EPS and EBIT targets to include a gate limiting adjustment between underlying and statutory results from FY 2022 onwards to the implementation costs of the Laboratory Information System in Pathology and no others. This means that, for business divisions other than Pathology, statutory and underlying EBIT targets are expected to be identical.

  • 4.3 The existing STI plan ( STIP ) will continue to ensure management have sufficient incentive to drive annual performance as well as longer-term performance. Following the transfer of 25% of the potential STI (at budgeted performance levels) to the TLTIP, the remaining 75% STI will be split 2:1 between cash and deferred equity, with equity deferred for one year in line with the existing deferral period. Importantly, the STIP will continue to be subject to challenging performance criteria set by the Board each year including returns on investments and cash flow generation.

  • 4.4 Further details of the STIP and the TLTIP are set out in Attachment A to this Notice of Meeting.

  • 4.5 Shareholder approval for the issue of securities under the current STI and LTI Plan (collectively referred to as the current Incentive Plan ) was granted at the Company’s 2017 AGM. Because the terms of the TLTIP are different from the terms of the current Incentive Plan, your Directors are seeking fresh approval from shareholders for the issue of securities under the new TLTIP.

  • 4.6 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 the 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 the company’s “placement capacity”. 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 three 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 TLTIP over the next three years will fall within the ASX Listing Rule exception and will not reduce the Company’s available placement capacity.

RECOMMENDATION ON ITEM 4

  • 4.8 Your Directors (other than Dr Malcolm Parmenter, who is excluded from voting) unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the issue of securities under the TLTIP, including the issue of Options, and shares in the Company on the exercise of those Options.

Item 5: Approval of acquisition of securities by the Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Dr Malcolm Parmenter, under the Short-Term Incentive Plan and Transformation Long-Term Incentive Plan

  • 5.1 As part of his executive remuneration arrangements, Dr Malcolm Parmenter, the Company’s CEO, is eligible to participate in incentive plans set up by the Company. Awards under the STIP comprise one third equity, deferred for 1 year, in the form of Service Rights. 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. Any award under the TLTIP is in the form of Options. An Option is a right to acquire a Share on a predetermined date at a predetermined price. The exercise of an Option is also subject to meeting certain performance- and service-related vesting conditions.

  • 5.2 Further details of the STIP and the TLTIP appear in the explanatory statement to Item 4 above and in Attachment A to this Notice of Meeting.

  • 5.3 Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the Company must seek shareholder approval for a Director of the Company, including the CEO, to acquire securities in the Company under an employee incentive scheme. Accordingly, shareholder approval is being sought to enable the Company to grant the following securities to the CEO:

  • Service Rights under the STIP;

  • Options under the TLTIP; and

  • Shares on the vesting of Service Rights under the STIP or on the exercise of Options under the TLTIP.

  • 5.4 Specifically, the types of securities the Company currently anticipates issuing to Dr Parmenter during the one year term of the approval are:

  • (a) Service Rights, under the STIP, as the one third equity component of any FY 2020 STI award (if made by the Board);

  • (b) Shares, under the STIP, on the vesting of the second tranche of Service Rights relating to Dr Parmenter’s FY 2018 STI award (those Service Rights having been issued in 2018, based on the approval given by shareholders at the 2017 AGM), if the vesting criteria for those Service Rights are met; and

  • (c) Options, as the 100% equity component of any award under the TLTIP, which will relate to the years FY 2020–FY 2022 inclusive and which will be issued in tranches exercisable at the end of FY 2022, FY 2023 and FY 2024 respectively.

  • 5.5 There was no FY 2019 STI award made to Dr Parmenter, therefore no approval is sought in relation to any Service Rights relating to such an award.

  • 5.6 If shareholder approval is given for this resolution under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, separate approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

8

INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS REQUIRED UNDER ASX LISTING RULES

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

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

Issue of Service Rights under STIP

One third of any award under the STIP is made in the form of equity Service Rights.

It is proposed that the maximum number of Service Rights to be granted to the CEO under a STIP award will be calculated under the following STIP Formula :

Base Package X Maximum STI Proportion X STI Equity Proportion

Rights Value

where:

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

Maximum STI Proportion means 44%, which represents the value of the STIP award which may be granted in a particular year as a proportion of the CEO’s Base Package, assuming each of the CEO’s Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) are achieved in the relevant financial year at Target level. If a Stretch KPI is achieved, the Maximum STI Proportion may be adjusted.

STI Equity Proportion means 33.33%, which represents the proportion of the STIP award that will be paid in the form of Service Rights.

Rights Value means 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 a STIP award for FY 2020 would be made in the 10 day trading period following the release of the FY 2020 results) less the expected value of dividends on a Share over the applicable one year vesting period of the Service Rights.

Issue of ordinary Shares on vesting of Service Rights previously awarded under STIP

The CEO currently holds 26,537 Service Rights previously awarded (with shareholder approval) in relation to the FY 2018 STIP under the Company’s current Incentive Plan. If the service criteria for those Service Rights are met then the Company anticipates issuing 26,537 ordinary Shares in the Company to the CEO at some time after 1 July 2020.

Issue of Options under TLTIP

Awards under the TLTIP are made in the form of equity Options. The maximum number of Options which the CEO may acquire under the TLTIP, calculated using the TLTIP Formula below, is 11,081,391.

It is proposed that the maximum number of Options to be granted to the CEO under a TLTIP award will be calculated under the following TLTIP Formula :

Base Package X Maximum TLTIP Proportion X Years Granted

Options Value

where:

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

Maximum TLTIP Proportion means 152%, which represents the maximum value of the annual TLTIP award (assuming achievement of Maximum goals) which may be granted as a proportion of the CEO’s Base Package. This calculation also includes an adjustment for the shifting of 25% of STI potential under the previous Incentive Plan into TLTIP award potential (with the STI portion being reduced by the same amount), together with a 20% premium to reflect the longer wait for, and greater uncertainty of, a TLTIP award relative to a STIP award.

Years Granted means the number of years covered by the relevant grant of Options. The TLTIP envisages that three years’ worth of Options will be issued in the first year of the TLTIP, with these Options split into three tranches to be assessed at years 3, 4 and 5 of the TLTIP respectively.

Options Value means the fair market value of the Options, calculated by an independent external accountant using standard methodologies (e.g. Black Scholes or Monte Carlo).

Healius Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2019 9

Explanatory statement

Item 5: Approval of acquisition of securities by the Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer, Dr Malcolm Parmenter, under the Short-Term Incentive Plan and Transformation Long-Term Incentive Plan (continued)

Issue of ordinary Shares on exercise of Options under TLTIP

On the Exercise Date of an Option, the CEO will be entitled to purchase one ordinary Share in the capital of the Company for the Exercise Price of the Option (as defined in Attachment A to this Notice of Meeting). The Board may also determine to deliver the difference in the Exercise Price of the Option and the Company’s market Share price on the Exercise Date as cash.

The Exercise Date of Options issued under the TLTIP in respect of FY 2020 will be split into three equal tranches:

  • Tranche 1 (1/3 of the Options issued to the CEO) with an Exercise Date at the end of FY 2022;

  • Tranche 2 (1/3 of the Options issued to the CEO) with an Exercise Date at the end of FY 2023; and

  • Tranche 3 (1/3 of the Options issued to the CEO) with an Exercise Date at the end of FY 2024.

In addition to the Exercise Date and Exercise Price, Options are also subject to Vesting Conditions related to Company performance hurdles as set out in Attachment A to this Notice of Meeting.

  • (b) The price (including a statement whether the price will be based on, the market price) or the formula for calculating the price for each security to be acquired

The formula for calculating the price for each Service Right to be acquired under the STIP is the Rights Value in the STIP Formula in paragraph (a) above, which is based on the VWAP of the Company’s Shares.

The price of each Option to be acquired under the TLTIP (the Options Value in the TLTIP Formula in paragraph (a) above) is $0.677. This is based on a market price of the Company’s Shares of $3.05, which was the VWAP of the Company’s Shares for the 10 trading days following 1 July 2019, the starting point for the TLTIP measurement period, which covers FY 2020–FY 2024 inclusive.

No price formula applies in the case of ordinary Shares acquired on vesting of previously-awarded Service Rights; one ordinary Share is issued for each Service Right that vests.

  • (c) The names of all Directors and their associates who received securities under the TLTIP and current Incentive Plan since their last approval, the number of securities received and the acquisition price for each security

No securities have been issued under the TLTIP to date.

Acquisition of Company securities by Dr Parmenter under the current Incentive Plan was last approved by shareholders at the 2018 AGM (22 November 2018). Since the last approval, the following securities have been issued to Dr Parmenter under the current Incentive Plan (at nil acquisition price):

DIRECTOR OR ASSOCIATE TYPE OF AWARD TYPE OF SECURITY DATE OF GRANT NUMBER OF SECURITIES
Malcolm Parmenter FY 2019 LTI Performance Rights 29 January2019 804,980
Malcolm Parmenter FY 2018 STI OrdinaryShares 1 July2019 25,461
  • (d) The names of all Directors and associates entitled to participate in the STIP and TLTIP

As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the only person eligible to participate in the STIP and TLTIP to whom ASX Listing Rule 10.14 applies is Dr Malcolm Parmenter, the Company’s CEO.

RECOMMENDATION ON ITEM 5

5.8 Your Directors (other than Dr Parmenter, who is excluded from voting) unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of approving the acquisition of securities by Dr Parmenter under the STIP and TLTIP.

Item 6: Approval of issue of securities under Non-executive Director Share Plan

  • 6.1 Your Directors have determined to seek shareholder approval for the potential grant of share rights ( Share Rights ) to Non-executive Directors under a Non-executive Director Share Plan ( NED Share Plan ) which the Board proposes to implement for FY 2020, FY 2021 and FY 2022 and for the allocation of Shares on vesting of those Share Rights.

  • 6.2 Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, shareholder approval is required for the issue of Share Rights (and Shares on the vesting of such Share Rights) to any Director, unless the Shares allocated on vesting of the Share Rights are required by the terms of the scheme to be purchased on-market. The Company wishes to retain the flexibility to either purchase on-market or issue Shares depending on which choice the Board considers to be in the Company’s best interests at the time. The Board also recognises that it is in line with good corporate governance practices for equity grants to Directors to be approved by shareholders.

  • If for some reason the terms of the NED Share Plan as approved by the Board differ materially from the description in this Notice of Meeting, the Company will not rely on this approval and will acquire any Shares issued under the NED Share Plan on-market.

  • 6.3 The NED Share Plan is being introduced to support Non-executive Directors to build their shareholdings in the Company and as a means of enhancing the alignment of interests between Non-executive Directors and shareholders generally. Governance bodies continue to be supportive of Non-executive Directors holding a meaningful shareholding in the companies on which they serve.

  • 6.4 The prospective NED Share Plan is to be a pre-tax fee sacrifice plan, which will allow each Non-executive Director to sacrifice up to 100 percent of their annual Director’s base fees to receive Share Rights at the Value per Share Right as described below.

  • 6.5 Share Rights will be allocated based on the fees sacrificed and will vest and convert into ordinary Shares ( Restricted Shares ), subject to the Company’s Trading in Securities Policy. Each Share Right will be a right to acquire one fully paid share in the Company. Share Rights will carry no dividend or voting rights prior to vesting (but may be eligible for dividend equivalent rights), and will not be subject to any performance conditions.

  • 6.6 Share Rights or Restricted Shares will be subject to a disposal restriction. Each Non-executive Director will elect in advance the period during which the disposal restriction will apply, up to a maximum of 15 years from the date the Share Rights were granted ( Restriction Period ).

  • During the Restriction Period the Director is unable to dispose of their Share Rights or Restricted Shares (if converted). To effect the Restricted Period, Restricted Shares may be held on trust for the relevant Non-executive Director by the Healius Non-executive Director Share Trust ( Trust ) or subject to a trading lock.

  • Restricted Shares will carry the same dividend, voting and other rights as ordinary Shares.

  • 6.7 All Share Rights and Restricted Shares held by (or on trust for) a Non-executive Director will cease to be subject to the Restriction Period at the earliest of:

  • the end of the Restriction Period; or

  • the relevant Non-executive Director ceasing to hold the office of Director.

  • 6.8 Non-executive Directors are subject to the Company’s Trading in Securities Policy and insider trading laws.

  • 6.9 Only Non-executive Directors will be eligible to participate in the NED Share Plan.

  • 6.10 If shareholder approval is given for this resolution under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, separate approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS REQUIRED UNDER ASX LISTING RULES

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

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

The maximum number of Share Rights that may be allocated in the next three years cannot be calculated because it is subject to the Company’s share price at a future time. The maximum potential value of Share Rights that could be allocated annually under the NED Share Plan is equal to the shareholder-approved Non-executive Director annual fee cap (currently $1.4 million). The actual value of Share Rights that will be allocated is likely to be lower than the annual fee cap, because the current level of Non-executive Director fees is below the cap, and it is anticipated that not all Non-executive Directors will sacrifice all of their fees under the NED Share Plan. The value of each Share Right is calculated in accordance with the formula set out in paragraph (b) following.

Healius Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2019 11

Explanatory statement

Item 6: Approval of issue of securities under Non-executive Director Share Plan (continued)

(b) The price (including a statement whether the price will be based on, volume weighted average price or the closing market price) or the formula for calculating the price for each security to be acquired under the NED Share Plan

The number of Share Rights that a Non-executive Director would receive under the NED Share Plan will be calculated in accordance with the following formula (rounded down to the nearest whole Share Right):

Number of Share Rights = Value of NED fees sacrificed ($) for the relevant period

Value per Share Right

The Value per Share Right is the VWAP of the Company’s Shares for the 5 trading days before the grant date (or another value reflective of market price). Shares to be allocated on vesting of the Share Rights are sourced on-market or issued.

(c) The names of all Directors and their associates who received securities under the NED Share Plan since their last approval, the number of securities received and the acquisition price for each security

  • This is the first time the NED Share Plan has been put to shareholders for approval and therefore no Non-executive Director has previously received securities under the NED Share Plan.

(d) The names of all Directors and associates entitled to participate in the NED Share Plan

  • As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, the persons who are anticipated to be eligible to participate in the NED Share Plan are:

  • Gordon Davis

  • Sally Evans

  • Robert Hubbard

  • Paul Jones

  • Arlene Tansey

(e) The terms of any loan in relation to the acquisition of securities

No loan applies in relation to the acquisition by any Non-executive Director of any securities under the NED Share Plan.

(f) Details of Share Rights and Shares issued

Details of any Share Rights or Shares issued under the NED Share Plan will be published in each Annual Report of the Company relating to the financial year in which the relevant Share Rights or Shares were issued, with a statement that approval for the issue of the securities was obtained under listing rule 10.14.

(g) Additional participants in the NED Share Plan

Any additional persons who become entitled to participate in the NED Share Plan after this resolution is approved and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate in the NED Share Plan unless approval of shareholders is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

(h) The date by which the Company will issue securities to which Item 6 applies

The last date by which the Company will issue any securities to which Item 6 applies is 25 November 2022, being three years after the date of this Meeting. It is intended that the NED Share Plan may operate indefinitely, and therefore shareholder approval will need to be refreshed for grants made after FY 2021, assuming the NED Share Plan remains in place.

RECOMMENDATION ON ITEM 6

  • 6.12 Because they have a personal interest in the subject of this resolution and are excluded from voting, your Directors have abstained from making a recommendation to shareholders in relation to this resolution.

Item 7: Renewal of proportional takeover approval provisions

  • 7.1 The purpose of the special resolution is to renew, for three years, the proportional takeover approval provisions ( PTA provisions ) in Schedule 2 of the Company’s Constitution.

  • 7.2 Under the Corporations Act takeover bids for shares in a company can be made either as:

  • (a) a full bid, that is, an offer for all shares in the target company ( target ) (whether off-market or on-market); or

  • (b) a proportional bid, that is, an offer to buy only a specified proportion of each target shareholder’s shares. (Historically, proportional bids have been less common in Australia than full bids.)

  • 7.3 In contrast to a full bid, a successful proportional bidder can secure control of the target and leave the target shareholders, including those who accepted for the specified proportion of their holding, in a minority position. To address this potential disadvantage to target shareholders, the Corporations Act permits a company to insert PTA provisions into its constitution.

12

  • 7.4 In brief, the effect of PTA provisions is to add an extra step into any proportional bid process. Before any proportional bid can proceed, the target’s shareholders (excluding the bidder and its associates) must approve the proportional bid via a vote. Key elements of the PTA provisions in the Company’s Constitution are:

  • (a) If a proportional bid is made for shares in the Company then the Directors of the Company must either convene a meeting of shareholders, or hold a postal ballot, to vote on a resolution to approve the proportional takeover bid, so that the vote is held before the statutory deadline, which is the day that is two weeks before the last day of the bid period.

  • (b) The bidder and its associates are precluded from voting on the resolution as to whether to approve the proportional bid.

  • (c) The proportional bid is approved if more than 50% of the votes cast on the resolution are in favour.

  • (d) If the shareholders have voted on the matter by the required deadline and did not pass the resolution then the practical effect is that the proportional bid cannot proceed and acceptances of the bid must be returned to the target shareholders. If the resolution is approved, transfers of securities to the bidder will be registered (provided they comply with the other provisions of the Constitution).

  • (e) If no resolution is voted on before the statutory deadline, then a resolution to approve the proportional takeover bid will be deemed to have been passed and the bid can proceed.

  • 7.5 The Corporations Act requires that PTA provisions must have a sunset clause after at most three years, however the PTA provisions may be renewed from time to time (for up to three years each time) by special resolution of shareholders. The Company’s Constitution, containing the PTA provisions, was adopted by special resolution of shareholders at a general meeting held on 30 May 2008. The PTA provisions were renewed or reinserted at the Company’s 2010, 2013 and 2016 AGMs and are currently due to expire on 25 November 2019.

  • 7.6 If the special resolution in Item 7 is duly passed, then the PTA provisions will be renewed and will remain in the Constitution and operate for another three years, that is, until 25 November 2022.

  • 7.7 Some arguments in favour of renewing the PTA provisions are:

  • PTA provisions give shareholders (apart from the bidder and its associates) a vote as to whether a proportional bid should proceed, potentially allowing those shareholders an opportunity to avoid being left in a minority position after the completion of a proportional takeover. This should ensure that the terms of any proportional bid are structured to be attractive to a majority of independent shareholders.

  • PTA provisions enable the Directors of the Company to ascertain the views of the Company’s shareholders on a proportional takeover bid at the time the bid is made.

  • 7.8 Some arguments against renewing the PTA provisions are:

  • PTA provisions make a proportional takeover more difficult to achieve and therefore proportional bids will be discouraged. This in turn may reduce opportunities which the shareholders may have to sell some of their shares at an attractive price to persons securing control of the Company, and it may reduce an element of proportional takeover speculation from the Company’s share price.

  • PTA provisions impose an additional restriction on the ability of the shareholders to deal freely with their shares.

  • 7.9 In the period since the Company adopted the PTA provisions in 2008, there have been no takeover bids for shares in the Company, either full or proportional, and therefore the PTA provisions have never been activated. (The non-binding indication of interest received in January 2019 from Jangho Hong Kong Holdings Limited was not a formal takeover bid.) Nor are the Directors aware of any takeover bid which was discouraged by the Company’s PTA provisions. As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, none of the Directors is aware of a proposal by a person to acquire, or to increase the extent of, a substantial interest in the Company.

  • 7.10 Consequently, in the period from 30 May 2008 to the present, the Directors are of the view that the advantages and disadvantages for Directors and shareholders (as set out above) have been theoretical. For the future, the potential advantages and disadvantages of the PTA provisions include those discussed in the preceding paragraphs.

  • 7.11 Because there are arguments both for and against the renewal of the PTA provisions, your Directors wish to ensure that shareholders are given the opportunity to have their say on whether the PTA provisions should be renewed or allowed to expire, and accordingly the Directors have placed Item 7 on the agenda for this Meeting.

RECOMMENDATION ON ITEM 7

  • 7.12 Apart from the second bullet point in paragraph 7.7 above (the opportunity to sound out shareholders’ views through a vote), there is no specific advantage or disadvantage for Directors, in their capacity as Directors, in renewing the PTA provisions.

  • 7.13 Your Directors are of the view that the PTA provisions give shareholders greater flexibility by giving them the opportunity to decide whether a proportional takeover bid should proceed. If a proportional takeover bid does proceed, the bid process means that individual holders will still be able to make a separate decision as to whether or not they wish to accept the bid for their securities. Your Directors consider that, on balance, renewal of the PTA provisions is in the best interests of shareholders.

  • 7.14 Your Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of the special resolution to renew the PTA provisions.

Attachment A

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

Purpose The purpose of the STIP 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 CEO, other Key Management
Personnel (as defined in the Corporations Act) (KMP) who hold executive roles, and other direct reports
to the CEO and other persons selected by the Board.
Non-executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the STIP.
Potential award For CEO and CFO, 44% of Base Package (at Target level performance), equivalent to 14.9% of Total
Potential Remuneration.
For other Key Management Personnel and direct reports to the CEO, 37.5% of Base Package (at Target
level performance), equivalent to 14% of Total Potential Remuneration.
Form of awards As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, STIP awards are to be paid in the form of two thirds cash and one
third deferred equity in the form of Service Rights.
Service 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.
Deferral If any STIP awards are made for FY 2020, they will comprise a one third equity component in the form
of Service Rights. Those Service Rights will be deferred for one year (meaning they vest one year
after the end of FY 2020), subject to the participant remaining employed by the Company at the end
of the applicable vesting period (unless the Board determines otherwise).
Performance Whether any STIP award is made in relation to a given financial year (and, if made, the amount of the
Conditions award) depends on the extent to which the relevant participant has met their performance criteria
for STIP 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 2018 (the most recent year in which STIP awards were made), the KPIs used for STIP awards included:

Underlying Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) of the Healius 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 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 a STIP award (including the vesting scales applied by the
Board) may differ from year to year.
In addition to the above criteria, all STIP awards are subject to a post-hoc quality of earnings test, the
nature and application of which are at the Board’s absolute discretion.
The details of the performance criteria for FY 2020 STIP awards to KMP (if any) will be set out in the
Company’s 2020 Remuneration Report, which will be voted on at the Company’s 2020 AGM.

Attachment A

Termination If a STIP participant ceases to be an employee of the Company, 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 STIP participant’s termination is in Special Circumstances, then Service Rights granted under the STIP 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.
Service Rights that do not lapse at the termination of employment will continue to be held by the
participant 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.
Change of A Change of Controloccurs when the Board advises participants that one or more persons acting
Control including in concert have acquired, or are likely to imminently acquire, “control” of the Company as defined
Takeover in section 50AA of the Corporations Act.
In the event of a Change of Control the Board may in its discretion decide to:

terminate the STIP for the measurement period and pay pro-rata awards based on the completed
proportion of the measurement period and taking into account performance up to the date of the
Change of Control; or

continue the STIP but make interim non-refundable pro-rata awards based on the completed
proportion of the measurement period and taking into account performance up to the date of the
Change of Control; or

allow the STIP to continue.
Amendment The Board may amend or terminate the STIP at any time provided that the rights of participants to
awards earned prior to the amendment or termination are not affected, unless otherwise agreed in writing
by the participants.

Healius Limited – Notice of Annual General Meeting 2019 15

Attachment A

Part B - Summary of key terms of the Transformation Long-Term Incentive Plan (TLTIP)

Purpose The purpose of the TLTIP is to create a strong link between performance and reward by providing an at-
risk element of executive remuneration that focuses on performance over the strategic plan period,
up to 5 years. The TLTIP aims to align management rewards with shareholder value, thereby incentivising
management to deliver the Company’s current strategic plan.
Eligibility Senior executivesare eligible to participate in the TLTIP. These comprise the CEO, other KMP who hold
executive roles, and other direct reports to the CEO and other persons selected by the Board.
Non-executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the TLTIP.
Potential For the CEO and CFO, 76% of Base Package (at Mid-point level performance), equivalent to 35%
annual award of Total Potential Remuneration.
For other KMP, 65% of Base Package (at Mid-point level performance), equivalent to 32% of Total
Potential Remuneration.
Form of awards Under the TLTIP, awards are to be made in the form of Options.
When calculating the number of Options to be issued, the fair market value of the Options will
be calculated by an independent external accountant using standard methodologies (e.g. Black
Scholes or Monte Carlo).
The number of Options issued will be sufficient to satisfy “Maximum” level performance.
Exercise Any Option issued under the TLTIP is an option to purchase an ordinary Share of the Company
of Options on a specified future date (theExercise Date) for a specified price (theExercise Price).
If the Exercise Price on the Exercise Date exceeds the Company’s traded Share price on the Exercise
Date, the Option is “in the money” and can be exercised and the issued Shares sold by the relevant
participant for a profit. If the Exercise Price on the Exercise Date is less than or equal to the Company’s
traded Share price on the Exercise Date, the Option is “out of the money” and will generally not be
exercised (and so will lapse).
The Exercise Price is set by the Board at the standard volume weighted average price (VWAP) for the
Company’s Shares for the 10 trading days following 1 July 2019 which was $3.05 (the starting point for
the measurement period, which covers FY 2020–FY 2024 inclusive).
The relevant TLTIP participant has the choice as to whether or not an Option is exercised on the
Exercise Date.
Exercise of Options is also conditional on the Performance Conditions (see below) being satisfied.
The Board may also determine to deliver the difference in the Exercise Price of the Option and the
Company’s market Share price on the Exercise Date as cash.
TheExercise Date Scheduleis as follows:

Tranche 1 (1/3 of the Options issued to the relevant participant) will be exercisable at the end
of FY 2022;

Tranche 2 (1/3 of the Options issued to the relevant participant) will be exercisable at the end
of FY 2023; and

Tranche 3 (1/3 of the Options issued to the relevant participant) will be exercisable at the end
of FY 2024.

Attachment A

Performance
Conditions
for TLTIP
In addition to the Exercise Date and Exercise Price, Options are also subject to three
Performance Conditions:

underlying Earnings Per Share (EPS);

relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR); and

underlying Earnings Before Interest and Tax (EBIT).
The weighting of these Performance Conditions varies depending on the participant’s role:

For theCEO and CFO:
-
EPS: 66% weighting
-
rTSR: 33% weighting

ForDivisional Chief Executives:
-
EPS: 40% weighting
-
Business Unit EBIT: 40% weighting
-
rTSR: 20% weighting
The use of underlying performance measures for EPS and divisional EBIT includes a gate limiting
adjustment between underlying and statutory results from FY 2022 onwards to the implementation
costs of the Laboratory Information System in Pathology division, in order to provide confidence
on adjustments between underlying and statutory results.
EPS
Performance
Condition
The following targets for Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) in underlying EPS have been approved
by the Board:

AtEntryperformance, 25% of the relevant Options become exercisable.

AtMid-pointperformance, 50% of the relevant Options become exercisable.

At or aboveMaximumperformance, 100% of the relevant Options become exercisable.
rTSR comparator
group
The Board has determined to update the comparator group of companies used to assess rTSR.
The comparator group has been extended from 21 to 36, removing previous companies which were
not considered comparable, and including non-healthcare companies from the ASX 51-150 in order
to better reflect comparable market capitalisation, growth profiles, consumer surrogates and
investment substitutes. The new comparator group is as follows (an asterisk denotes the relevant
company was also part of the previous comparator group):

Condition For the purposes of awards under the TLTIP, the Board’s target-setting process will ensure that divisional
Chief Executives (and other TLTIP participants to whom EBIT Performance Conditions are assigned) are
rewarded only for consistently achieving EBIT growth within their division.
The use of underlying performance measures for divisional EBIT includes gate limiting adjustments
between underlying and statutory results from FY 2022 onwards to the implementation costs of the
Laboratory Information System in Pathology, in order to provide confidence on adjustments between
underlying and statutory results.
Re-testing There is no re-testing of Performance Conditions or deferral of the Exercise Date of Options.
Lapse and Any Option not exercised on the Exercise Date automatically lapses.

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.
Options that do not lapse at the termination of employment will continue to be held by participants
with the same Performance Conditions, Exercise Date and Exercise Price.

Attachment A

Bonus issues, In cases of bonus Share issues by the Company, the number of Options held by a participant will
rights issues be increased by the same number as the number of bonus Shares that would have been received
and capital by the participant had the Options been fully paid ordinary Shares in the Company (except in the
reorganisation 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 Options.
In the case of an issue of rights other than to the Company’s shareholders, there will be no adjustment
to Options.
In the case of other capital reconstructions, the Board may make such adjustments to Options
as it considers appropriate.
Change AChange of Controloccurs when the Board advises participants that one or more persons acting
of Control in concert have acquired, or are likely to imminently acquire “control” of the Company as defined
including in section 50AA of the Corporations Act.
takeover In the event of a Change of Control of the Company, the Board has discretion to determine that vesting
of all or some of the Options should be accelerated. If a Change of Control occurs before the Board
has exercised its discretion, a pro rata portion of Options will vest, calculated based on the portion
of the relevant performance period that has elapsed up to the Change of Control, and the Board retains
a discretion to determine if the remaining Options will vest or lapse.
Amendment The Board may amend or terminate the TLTIP at any time provided that the rights of participants
to awards earned prior to the amendment or termination are not affected, unless otherwise agreed
in writing by the participants.
