Information on Proxies, Corporate Representatives and Attorneys

Voting by Proxy

Please note the following in relation to voting by proxy:

  • A Shareholder of the Company entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy. A proxy may be either an individual or a corporation and need not be a shareholder of the Company.
  • A Shareholder who is entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint not more than two proxies. If you appoint two proxies, each will require a separate form.
  • An instrument of proxy in which the name of the appointee is not filled in is taken to be given in favour of the Chairman of the AGM.
  • A single proxy exercises all voting rights of the relevant shareholder.
  • Where two proxies are appointed, the shareholder may specify the proportion or number of that shareholder's votes that each proxy is appointed to exercise. If a shareholder appoints two proxies and does not specify each proxy's voting rights, the rights are deemed to be 50% each. Fractions of votes are to be disregarded.
  • A proxy need not vote in that capacity, unless the proxy is the Chairman of the AGM. However, if the proxy's appointment specifies the way to vote on a resolution, and the proxy decides to vote in that capacity on that resolution, the proxy must vote the way specified (subject to the other provisions of these Notes, including the voting exclusions noted above).
  • If a proxy does not attend the AGM, then the Chairman of the AGM will be taken to have been appointed as the proxy of the relevant shareholder in respect of the AGM.
  • If the Chairman of the AGM is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as a proxy, but the appointment does not specify the way to vote on a resolution, then the Chairman intends to exercise the relevant shareholder's votes in favour of the relevant resolution (subject to the other provisions of these Notes, including the voting exclusions noted above).
  • A voting form, which enables you to appoint a proxy, accompanies this Notice of Meeting.

Voting by Corporate Representatives

A Shareholder, or proxy, that is a corporation and entitled to attend and vote at the AGM may appoint an individual to act as its corporate representative. Evidence of the appointment of a corporate representative must be in accordance with the Corporations Act and must be lodged with the Company at least 48 hours prior to the AGM.

Voting by Attorney

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint an attorney to attend and vote at the AGM on the shareholder's behalf. An attorney need not be a shareholder of the Company.

The power of attorney appointing the attorney must be duly executed and specify the name of each of the shareholder, the Company and the attorney, and also specify the meetings at which the appointment may be used. The appointment may be a standing one.

To be effective, the power of attorney must also be returned in the same manner, and by the same time, as outlined above for voting forms.

Evidence of execution

If any instrument (including a voting form or appointment of corporate representative) returned to the Company is completed by an individual or a corporation under power of attorney, the power of attorney under which the instrument is signed, or a certified copy of that power of attorney, must accompany the instrument unless the power of attorney has previously been noted by the Company or the Company's share registry.

Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum sets out further information regarding the proposed items of business to be considered by Shareholders at the AGM. The Directors recommend that Shareholders read this Explanatory Memorandum before determining whether or not to support the resolutions.

Item 1: Financial Statements and Reports

Under Section 317 of the Corporations Act, the Company is required to lay its Annual Financial Report, Directors' Report and Audit Report before its Shareholders at its Annual General Meeting.

The Annual Financial Report, Directors' Report and Audit Report of the Company are submitted for Shareholders' consideration and discussion at the AGM as required.

The Chairman will also allow a reasonable opportunity for Shareholders to ask questions to the external auditor, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Audit Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in relation to the preparation of the Annual Financial Report and the independence of the external auditor.

The questions will be passed on to the external auditor. In addition, a reasonable opportunity will be allowed at the AGM for the external auditor or its representative to answer the questions that have been submitted.

Item 2: Election of Directors

Mr. Chris Leptos AM and Professor Colin J. Stirling will retire in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution and, being eligible, offer themselves for re-election. Their relevant skills and experience are summarised below.

Item 2(a) – Election of Mr. Chris Leptos AM

Chris was appointed a Non-Executive Director of IDP Education at the completion of its IPO in November 2015.

Chris is Chairman of the National Heart Foundation of Australia and recently retired as Chairman of SEA Electric.

In 2020 Chris was appointed by the Federal Government to conduct a statutory review of the National Housing and Investment Corporation Act reporting to Parliament in 2021.

In 2021 Chris was appointed by the Federal Government as the Independent Reviewer of the Food and Grocery Code under the Competition and Consumer Act.

He is also a Senior Advisor to Flagstaff Partners, a member of the Advisory Board of The University of Melbourne Faculty of Business & Economics, and the Advisory Council of Asialink.

He was previously a Senior Partner with KPMG and Managing Partner Government at Ernst & Young where he had national responsibility for leading the public sector and higher education practice.

He is a Fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants and a Fellow of the AICD.

Item 2(b) – Election of Professor Colin J. Stirling

Colin was appointed as a Non-Executive Director of IDP Education in February 2018.

He is the President and Vice-Chancellor of Flinders University and brings more than thirty years of experience in international education in Australia, the UK and the USA.

Colin is a Director of Education Australia Limited and has held various other board positions across health, academic and community organisations.

Educated at the University of Edinburgh, and with a PhD from the University of Glasgow, Colin began his award-winning scientific career at the University of California, Berkeley.

Recommendation:

The Directors (in each case excluding the relevant candidate) recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of the re-election of each of the above candidates.

Item 3: Adoption of the 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 AGM.

The Directors' Report for the year ended 30 June 2021 contains the Remuneration Report, which is set out on pages 29 to 48 of the 2021 Annual Report.

A copy of the 2021 Annual Report can be found on the IDP Education website at https://investors.idp.com/Investor-Centre.

The Remuneration Report includes:

  • an explanation of the Company's policies in relation to the nature and amount of the Remuneration of the key management personnel (KMP).
  • a description of the relationship between such policies and the Company's performance;and
  • Remuneration details for KMP and any associated performance conditions for the period ended 30 June 2020.

During this item, there will be an opportunity for Shareholders at the meeting to comment on and ask questions about the Remuneration Report, and Shareholders are asked to adopt the Remuneration Report. The vote on the resolution in this item is advisory and will not bind the Directors of IDP Education. The Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing Remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

Recommendation:

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own Remuneration from the Company (as such interests are described in the Remuneration Report), the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3 to adopt the Remuneration Report.

Item 4: Non-Executive Directors' Remuneration

ASX Listing Rules 10.17 and clause 51 of the Company's Constitution require Shareholders to approve any increase in the total amount of Non-Executive Directors' (NEDs) remuneration that can be paid each year. Item 4 proposes an increase in the maximum fee pool that can be paid to NEDs each year from \$1,500,000 per annum to \$2,000,000 per annum, an increase of \$500,000 per annum.

The Company's Board fee pool of A\$1,500,000 was set when the Company listed on the ASX in 2015. The Board fee pool includes all Board and Committee fees paid to NEDs, as well as superannuation contributions made on behalf of NEDs. The amount of \$1,110,000 was paid to NEDs in FY21 from the pool. This amount was lower than expected because of the voluntary reduction in fees for part of the period as part of IDP's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

With the growth of the Company, particularly overseas, and previously announced sell-down of shares in the Company by Education Australia, the proposed increase to the annualised Board fee pool is sought to:

  • allow IDP the scope and flexibility to maintain market competitiveness in NED remuneration to ensure the Company can attract and retain high calibre individuals with appropriate skills, experience, diversity and expertise, particularly in offshore markets;
  • allow for the potential future expansion of the Board, if needed; and
  • provide sufficient scope for succession planning and ongoing flexibility.

Board remuneration was independently reviewed in July 2021 and only minor changes to the level of fees is proposed for FY22, mainly in relevant Committee fees for some NEDs. This independent review conducted by Crichton & Associates Pty Limited indicated that IDP's Board fee pool limit was well below the median of comparable ASX listed companies. This view was supported by a recent AON Hewitt/Governance Institute Report.

Shareholders should be aware that if the proposed resolution is approved, it is unlikely that the fee pool limit will be tested for some time. IDP will continue to set the actual remuneration of its NED fees based on independent external benchmark assessments conducted from time to time. Market practice, Board performance, community and shareholder interests will also be considered.

No securities have been issued to any NEDs of the Company under Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 with approval at any time in the last 3 years.

Recommendation:

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own Remuneration from the Company, the Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
