Explanatory Notes
These Explanatory Notes have been prepared to help shareholders understand the business to be put to shareholders at the 2015 Annual General Meeting. These Explanatory Notes form part of the Notice of Annual General Meeting and should be read with the Notice of Annual General Meeting.
Ordinary Business
Item 1 – Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report
As required by section 317 of the Corporations Act, the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report of the Company for the financial year ended 30 June 2015 will be laid before the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders will be provided with the opportunity to ask questions or raise comments about the Reports or on the management of the Company. Also, a reasonable opportunity will be given to shareholders to ask the Company’s auditor questions relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the Financial Report and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
As there is no requirement for a formal resolution on this item, a resolution will not be put to the meeting.
Item 2 – Remuneration Report
Under the Corporations Act, the Company is required to include, in the Directors’ Report, a detailed Remuneration Report setting out certain prescribed information relating to Directors’ and executives’ remuneration, and submit this for adoption by resolution of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting.
The Company’s Remuneration Report for the financial period ended 30 June 2015 is set out in the Directors’ Report which forms part of the Company’s 2015 Annual Report, a copy of which was provided to shareholders with this Notice of Annual General Meeting.
The Remuneration Report discusses matters including the remuneration policy of the Company, the remuneration paid to Directors and executives who are members of the Company’s KMP, and the relationship between the remuneration of those Directors and executives and performance.
The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company.
Board recommendation
Item 2A – Spill Resolution
At the 2014 Annual General Meeting, more than 25% of the votes validly cast were voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report presented at that Annual General Meeting. This constituted a “first strike” under the “two strikes rule” in the Corporations Act. Under that rule, if 25% or more of votes cast are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings (the first and second “strikes”), a “spill resolution” must be put to shareholders at the second annual general meeting as to whether a further meeting should be held at which all Directors (other than the Managing Director (if applicable)) who were directors when the resolution to approve the Remuneration Report (which forms part of the Directors’ Report) was passed cease to hold office but may stand for re-election ( Spill Meeting ).
Accordingly, if 25% or more of votes cast on item 2 are voted against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at the 2015 AGM, this would constitute a “second strike” and a “spill resolution” as set out in item 2A must be put to shareholders. The Board considers that the concerns raised at the last Annual General Meeting have been addressed, including as set out in the Annual Report.
If a Spill Meeting is required to be held, the Directors who will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting (unless they resign before the Spill Meeting) will be:
-
Mr Andrew Abercrombie;
-
Mr John Skippen*; and
-
Mr Rajeev Dhawan.
-
*This assumes Mr Skippen is re-elected at the 2015 AGM.
This is because these Directors were directors when the resolution to approve the Remuneration Report (which forms part of the Directors’ Report) was passed.
To the extent that there is a Spill Meeting, the Spill Meeting will be subject to separate notice in accordance with the Constitution of the Company and the Corporations Act. Nominations for director appointments at the Spill Meeting may be made in accordance with the Constitution of the Company and may include the Directors listed above. Each of these Directors is eligible to stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting and will seek re-election.
Board recommendation
The Directors recommend that shareholders vote AGAINST this resolution.
The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report.

Item 3 – Re-election of John Skippen
ASX Listing Rule 14.5 requires the Company to hold an election for at least one director of the Company each year.
In accordance with Rule 10.3(c) of the Company’s Constitution, John Skippen retires, and being eligible, offers himself for re-election.
The experience, qualifications and other information about Mr Skippen are set out below.
Mr Skippen was appointed a Director of the Company in November 2006. Mr Skippen was the Finance Director and Chief Financial Officer of Harvey Norman Holdings Limited for 12 years. Mr Skippen was involved in the establishment of the original agreement between Flexirent Holdings Pty Limited and Harvey Norman in 1995. Mr Skippen has over 34 years’ experience as a chartered accountant and has extensive experience in mergers and acquisitions, strategy, international expansion, property and taxation.
Board recommendation
The Directors (with Mr Skippen abstaining) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of Mr Skippen as a Director.
Special Business
Item 4 – Approval of proposed amendments to conditions of existing Performance Rights issued pursuant to the Long Term Incentive Plan
Overview of the LTIP
The LTIP is part of the overall remuneration strategy of FlexiGroup, which is designed to encourage superior performance and commitment to FlexiGroup by the executives participating in the LTIP.
The LTIP operates by giving participants in the LTIP the opportunity to acquire Shares if applicable performance conditions are met, and any other relevant conditions are satisfied. The performance conditions are set by the Board for each participant.
The Board believes that linking remuneration to achievement is a key driver of FlexiGroup’s success and that the LTIP:
-
provides a meaningful incentive for the creation of, and focus on, shareholder wealth;
-
aligns the interests of executives and other employees with shareholders; and
-
encourages employee retention.
Background to proposed amendments
Performance Rights were issued in 4 tranches to a number of FlexiGroup executives and employees following FlexiGroup’s 2014 Annual General Meeting, which was held on 20 November 2014 (“ 2014 AGM ”). The Performance Rights were issued on substantially similar terms to the Performance Rights issued to the former Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (“ CEO ”) of FlexiGroup, Mr Tarek Robbiati, which were approved at the 2014 AGM. The Performance Rights issued in tranche 1 have lapsed in accordance with FlexiGroup’s LTIP Rules (“ Rules ”). Accordingly, only the Performance Rights that were issued in tranches 2, 3 and 4 remain on issue.
As announced on 6 August 2015, Mr Robbiati resigned as Managing Director and CEO of FlexiGroup with effect from 7 August 2015, and as a consequence all his unvested Performance Rights and vested but unexercised Performance Rights have now lapsed in accordance with the LTIP Rules. Accordingly, Performance Rights are currently held by executives and other employees of FlexiGroup, but not by any Directors of FlexiGroup.
Following feedback received from various stakeholders after the 2014 AGM, FlexiGroup has taken external advice from Mercer (Australia) Pty Ltd (“ Mercer Australia ”), specialist remuneration consultants, regarding FlexiGroup’s remuneration arrangements. In particular, the structure of the LTIP, along with the terms and conditions of the existing Performance Rights, have been reviewed. The Board has carefully considered the recommendations made by Mercer Australia, which include the proposed amendments to conditions of existing Performance Rights set out in these Explanatory Notes. The Board considers that the implementation of these proposed amendments will better align the existing Performance Rights to the Company’s remuneration strategy and the ongoing generation of shareholder value, and will act as an appropriate incentive for future strong performance.
ASX Listing Rule requirements
Performance rights, including Performance Rights issued pursuant to the LTIP, are a type of option for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules.
ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3 provides that a change to the terms of an option which has the effect of reducing the exercise price, increasing the period for exercise or increasing the number of securities received on exercise cannot be made.
ASX Listing Rule 6.23.4 provides that so long as the relevant change is not prohibited by ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3, a listed company may amend the terms of an option if those amendments have been approved by an ordinary resolution of shareholders.
The approval of shareholders is sought to permit the Company to amend the conditions of the existing Performance Rights issued pursuant to the LTIP following the 2014 AGM, being the Performance Rights issued in tranches 2, 3 and 4. Details of these proposed amendments, and other relevant information relating to item 4, are as follows.
FLEXIGROUP Notice of Annual General Meeting 2015 5
EXPLANATORY NOTES ON THE BUSINESS TO BE TRANSACTED AT THE FLEXIGROUP LIMITED 2015 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (CONTINUED)
Summary of proposed amendments
Details of the proposed amendments to the conditions of the existing Performance Rights are set out in Schedule 1 to these Explanatory Notes.
In summary, the effect of the proposed amendments to the conditions of the existing Performance Rights would be to:
-
(a) amend the percentage of Performance Rights where vesting is linked to the Cash EPS Growth vesting condition and apply a new Volume Growth vesting condition to test the vesting of a percentage of Performance Rights. Currently, the vesting of 60% of each tranche of Performance Rights is linked to the Cash EPS Growth vesting condition and the vesting of 40% of each tranche of Performance Rights is linked to the total shareholder return (“ TSR ”) vesting condition. It is proposed that:
-
the vesting of 40% of each tranche of Performance Rights will be linked to the Cash EPS vesting condition;
-
the vesting of 40% of each tranche of Performance Rights will be linked to the TSR vesting condition; and
-
the vesting of 20% of each tranche of Performance Rights will be linked to the new Volume Growth vesting condition.
The Volume Growth vesting condition will assess volume growth for the Company with respect to the Performance Period applicable to the relevant tranche of Performance Rights, based on performance indicators set by the Board from time to time. This vesting condition will be tested by reference to a combination of volume/product mix and other measures as determined by the Board from time to time. As volume is a lead indicator of future profitability for the Company’s business, the Board is of the view that a Volume Growth vesting condition, in conjunction with the Cash EPS Growth vesting condition and the TSR vesting condition, are appropriate measures to assess performance and to align the interests of executives and other employees with the long term profitability of the Company. Participants will be notified of the applicable terms of the Volume Growth vesting condition as determined by the Board;
-
(b) amend the Cash EPS Growth vesting condition so that:
-
this condition is measured by comparing the Cash EPS of the financial year immediately preceding the conclusion of the relevant Performance Period against the Cash EPS of the financial year immediately preceding the commencement of the relevant Performance Period;
-
the target percentages referred to in each Cash EPS Growth vesting condition are lowered; and
-
the Board has the discretion to vary the target percentages referred to in the Cash EPS Growth vesting condition by 1.5% provided that the target percentages referred to in the Cash EPS Growth vesting condition cannot be varied to a percentage lower than 4.5%. The Board considers that it is appropriate to have this discretion so that the Cash EPS Growth vesting condition continues to provide an incentive for superior performance and commitment to executives and other employees in accordance with the Company’s overall remuneration strategy.
-
(c) amend the TSR vesting condition so that the TSR of the Company is tested in relation to a 90 day volume weighted average price (“ VWAP ”) for the Shares rather than a 30 day VWAP for the Shares;
-
(d) amend the Cash EPS Growth vesting condition and TSR vesting condition to refer to new proposed Performance Periods applicable to each tranche of Performance Rights as follows:
-
in relation to the Performance Rights issued in tranches 2 and 3, it is proposed to extend the Performance Period applicable to those Performance Rights from one year to two years; and
-
in relation to the Performance Rights issued in tranche 4, it is proposed to extend the Performance Period applicable to those Performance Rights from one year to three years;
-
(e) as a consequence:
-
amend the testing date applicable to each Performance Right issued in tranche 4 so that it occurs after the applicable new Performance Period for the Performance Rights issued in tranche 4;
-
amend the vesting date applicable to each Performance Right issued in tranche 4 so that it occurs after the applicable new testing date for the Performance Rights issued in tranche 4; and
-
amend the exercise period applicable to the Performance Rights issued in tranche 4 so that it occurs after the applicable new vesting date for the Performance Rights issued in tranche 4, and so that the Performance Rights issued in tranche 4 must be exercised within one month after they vest (rather than within six months after they vest) but prior to their current expiry date,
(together, the “ New Conditions ”).
None of the New Conditions are prohibited amendments for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 6.23.3. In particular, there is no proposal to change the expiry date applicable to any existing Performance Right, meaning that none of the exercise periods applicable to the Performance Rights are being extended.
If the New Conditions are approved by shareholders, the Board also intends to make the following amendments to the terms on which Shares, which are allocated following the exercise of vested Performance Rights, can be dealt with:
-
(a) vary the number of Shares that would be released on certain restriction end dates and amend some of the restriction end dates; and
-
(b) apply an additional release condition to Shares which are allocated on the exercise of vested Performance Rights issued under tranche 4. This new release condition would require the relevant participant to be employed by FlexiGroup on the relevant restriction end date in order for their Shares to be released from the applicable disposal restrictions on that restriction end date,
(“ Disposal Restrictions ”).
6 FLEXIGROUP Notice of Annual General Meeting 2015
EXPLANATORY NOTES ON THE BUSINESS TO BE TRANSACTED AT THE FLEXIGROUP LIMITED 2015 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING (CONTINUED)
There is an existing discretion in the LTIP Rules which permits the Board to implement the Disposal Restrictions. Specifically, Rule 8.1 in Schedule 2 of the LTIP Rules permits the Board to amend or waive any restriction on the disposal of Shares granted on the exercise of vested Performance Rights if, in the Board’s opinion, it is appropriate to do so taking into account the participant’s circumstances. The Board will also seek each participant’s consent to the application of the Disposal Restrictions to Shares allocated following the exercise of vested Performance Rights. The Disposal Restrictions are not required to be approved by shareholders for the purposes of the ASX Listing Rules, as the ASX Listing Rules do not apply to shares allocated on the exercise of vested Performance Rights.
The Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution in item 4 on the basis that the proposed amendments to the conditions of the existing Performance Rights on the terms described in these Explanatory Notes:
-
are in the best interests of the Company as a whole;
-
are consistent with the Company’s remuneration policy, in particular the Company’s policy of linking remuneration to achievement, and the objective of attracting and retaining highly skilled executives and other employees; and
-
will therefore have a positive impact on the Company’s prospects.
Purpose and recommendation
The purpose of the proposed amendments to the conditions of the existing Performance Rights is to:
-
ensure that FlexiGroup can align the interests of its executives and other employees with those of FlexiGroup’s shareholders;
-
ensure that FlexiGroup can provide long-term incentives for the participation of its executives and other employees in FlexiGroup’s future growth; and
-
therefore assist with retaining the services of key executives and other employees.
The Board notes that it is a competitive market for executives and other employees and that it is important to ensure that FlexiGroup’s remuneration arrangements are competitive with the remuneration arrangements offered by its Australian and international competitors.

(1) the 30 day VWAP for Shares in the period up to and including 30 June at the end of the relevant Performance Period; and
-
(2) the dividends paid on a Share during the relevant Performance Period, exceeds the 30 day VWAP for the Shares in the period up to and including 1 July at the beginning of the relevant Performance Period, expressed as a percentage.
Proposed TSR vesting condition to apply to Performance Rights
For each Performance Period, it is proposed that the TSR for the Company will be determined by calculating the amount by which the sum of:

(1) the 90 day VWAP for Shares in the period up to and including 30 June at the end of the relevant Performance Period; and
-
(2) the dividends paid on a Share during the relevant Performance Period, exceeds the 90 day VWAP for the Shares in the period up to and including 1 July at the beginning of the relevant Performance Period, expressed as a percentage.

Schedule 2
Summary of the LTIP Rules
The LTIP is part of the Company’s remuneration strategy and is designed to align the interests of the Company’s management and shareholders and assist the Company in the attraction, motivation and retention of executives. In particular, the LTIP is designed to provide relevant executives with an incentive for future performance thereby encouraging those executives to remain with the Company and contribute to the future performance of the Company.
Under the LTIP, eligible persons participating in the LTIP may be granted Options and/or Performance Rights on terms and conditions determined by the Board from time to time. An Option and a Performance Right are both rights to acquire a Share, subject to the satisfaction of applicable vesting and/or exercise conditions.
A grant of Options or Performance Rights is subject to both the LTIP Rules and the terms of the specific grant as determined by the Board. The Board is responsible for administering the LTIP in accordance with the LTIP Rules and the terms and conditions of specific grants of Options and/or Performance Rights to participants in the LTIP.
Eligibility and Participation
The Board may determine which persons will be eligible to participate in the LTIP from time to time. Eligible persons may be invited to apply to participate in the LTIP. The Board may in its discretion accept such applications.
Options and Performance Rights
A person participating in the LTIP ( Executive ) may be granted Options and/or Performance Rights on terms and conditions, including tenure conditions and performance hurdles, determined by the Board. The Board will determine the exercise price payable on exercise of a vested Option and may determine the exercise price (if any) payable on exercise of a vested Performance Right. The LTIP Rules provide that a Performance Right has a nil exercise price unless determined otherwise by the Board. The Board may also determine the exercise period of an Option or a Performance Right.
Consideration for Grant
The Board may determine the amount (if any) payable for the grant of an Option or a Performance Right from time to time.
Vesting
Following the satisfaction of the performance hurdles applying to an Option or a Performance Right, the Option or the Performance Right vests on, and becomes exercisable on or after, a date predetermined by the Board ( Vesting Date ), provided that the Executive remains employed by the Company as at that date.
Automatic and Accelerated Vesting
Unless the Board determines otherwise, early vesting (prior to the relevant Vesting Date) of an Option or a Performance Right will automatically occur if there is a change of control, reconstruction or amalgamation, winding up or delisting of the Company for the purposes of the LTIP Rules.
The Board may, in its discretion, decide to accelerate the vesting of all or part of the Options or Performance Rights held by an Executive in specified circumstances including the death, total and permanent disablement, or cessation of employment for other reasons (e.g. retirement, redundancy or the Executive’s employer ceasing to be an entity in FlexiGroup or its business being transferred to a non-FlexiGroup entity) of that Executive.
Lapse
An unvested Option or Performance Right will lapse on the earliest of:
-
(a) the expiry of the exercise period applicable to that Option or Performance Right;
-
(b) the Board determining that the performance hurdles in respect of the Option or Performance Right are not satisfied and not capable of being satisfied on the relevant testing date or retesting date (as the case may be) and that the Option or Performance Right has lapsed;
-
(c) 30 days after the Executive’s death or total and permanent disablement, if death or total and permanent disablement occurs;
-
(d) 30 days after the Executive ceases to be employed by the Company (including where the Executive’s employer ceases to be an entity in FlexiGroup or its business has been transferred to a non-FlexiGroup entity) unless the Board makes a determination that the Option or Performance Right has vested; or
-
(e) the Board determining that the Executive has committed (or it is evident that the Executive intends to commit) any act of dishonesty, fraud, wilful misconduct or breach of duty, serious and wilful negligence or incompetence in the performance of the Executive’s duties, or is convicted of a criminal offence (other than minor/trivial offences) or is guilty of wilful or recklessly indifferent conduct which may injure the reputation or business of a FlexiGroup entity, and that the Option or Performance Right has lapsed.
Upon the occurrence of any of the events set out in (c), (d) (excluding termination of employment with cause) or (e) above, any vested Option or Performance Right held by the Executive may be exercised during a specified period unless that Option or Performance Right lapses on the expiry date applicable to it prior to the end of that specified period. In the event of an Executive’s termination of employment with cause, all the Executive’s vested Options and Performance Rights that have not been exercised will lapse on the date of termination (excluding any notice period), unless otherwise determined by the Board.
Subject to the Listing Rules, the Board may, in its discretion, extend a period during which an Executive may exercise an Option or Performance Right, provided that the Board does not extend the Exercise Period beyond the expiry date. If the Board exercises its discretion to extend the period during which an Executive may exercise an Option or Performance Right, the Board will give written notice of such extension to the Executive as soon as reasonably practicable.
FLEXIGROUP Notice of Annual General Meeting 2015 11
SCHEDULE 2 (CONTINUED)
Exercise
Following the Vesting Date or the automatic or accelerated vesting of an Option or Performance Right, the vested Option or Performance Right may be exercised by the Executive subject to any exercise conditions and the payment of the exercise price (if any), and the Executive will then be allocated or issued Shares according to the number of Shares comprised in each vested Option or Performance Right exercised by the Executive.
Delivery of Shares on Exercise of Vested Options or Performance Rights
The Board has the discretion to have Shares issued or transferred to an Executive or to the Trustee (on behalf of an Executive) on the exercise of vested Options or Performance Rights. Any Shares issued under the LTIP will rank equally with those Shares traded on the ASX at the time of issue except for any rights attaching to those Shares by reference to a record date prior to the date of issue.
Adjustment
In the event of any capital reorganisation by the Company (including any bonus issues and rights issues), an Executive’s Options or Performance Rights, and the Shares allocated to the Executive on exercise of the Executive’s Options or Performance Rights, will be adjusted as set out in the LTIP Rules and otherwise in accordance with the Listing Rules. In general, it is intended that the Executive will not receive any advantage or disadvantage from such adjustment.
Restrictions on Disposal of Shares
An Executive (or any person holding a Share on behalf of an Executive) may not dispose of, deal in, or grant a security interest over any interest in, a Share allocated to the Executive on exercise of a vested Option or Performance Right for any relevant period determined by the Board. This disposal restriction may be imposed by the Board at the time of grant or at any time after the date of grant prior to the exercise of the Option or Performance Right (subject to the Executive’s agreement). The Board may implement such arrangements (including a holding lock) as it determines are necessary to enforce this restriction.
The Board may amend or waive any disposal restriction imposed if in the Board’s opinion it is appropriate to do so taking into account the Participant’s (or any other person holding Shares on behalf of the Participant, including the Trustee) circumstances or the Group’s circumstances.
Restrictions on Transfer of Options or
Performance Rights
An Executive may not dispose of, deal in, or grant a security interest over any interest in, an Option or Performance Right without the prior written consent of the Board, which may be given subject to such conditions as the Board sees fit in relation to the proposed dealing. The transfer or transmission of an Option or Performance Right is permitted where it is effected by force of law, on death or legal incapacity of an Executive to the Executive’s legal representative.
Transfer of Vested Options to a Broker
The Company may, by written notice, invite an Executive to offer to transfer the Executive’s vested Options to a broker in accordance with terms and conditions determined by the Company and the LTIP Rules. The broker may refuse the offer if it considers, acting reasonably, that the market value or price of any Shares that will be delivered on exercise of a vested Option is less (or reasonably likely to be less) than the relevant vested Option’s exercise price. If a broker acquires a vested Option, it must exercise the vested Option and then deal with the Shares delivered to it in accordance with the terms and conditions contained in the Company’s written notice.
Administration of the LTIP
Any power or discretion of the Board conferred under the LTIP Rules will be administered in the interests and for the benefit of the Company. Any power or discretion of the Board conferred under the LTIP Rules may be delegated by the Board to a committee consisting of the Company’s officers and/or employees, a related body corporate and/or a third party for such periods, and on such conditions, as the Board sees fit.
The Board may at any time, by written instrument, amend all or any of the provisions of the LTIP Rules including with retrospective effect. Any amendment to the LTIP Rules must not materially reduce the rights of any participant as those rights existed before the date of the amendment (with limited exceptions).
The Board may suspend or terminate the LTIP at any time. The suspension or cancellation of the LTIP must not prejudice the existing rights (if any) of Executives. The Board may also amend the LTIP Rules, provided that subject to specified exceptions, there is no reduction of the rights of Executives in respect of Shares allocated or Options or Performance Rights granted under the LTIP prior to the date of such amendment.
Once the restriction is removed, and subject to the Company’s Trading Policy, Shares acquired on exercise of vested Options or Performance Rights may be dealt with freely.
