Jennifer Anne Seabrook, BCom, FCA, FAICD

Ms Seabrook was appointed to the Board in May 2008. She is a Special Advisor to Gresham Partners Limited.

She was formerly a director of West Australian Newspapers Holdings Limited, BWA Managed Investments Limited, St Andrew's Superannuation Services Limited and Western Power. Ms Seabrook is a member of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
$2.$ Adoption of Remuneration Report
Pursuant to section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted must be put to vote at the Company's Annual General Meeting.
Shareholders are asked to adopt the Company's Remuneration Report. The Remuneration Report is set out on pages 9 to 21 of the Company's 2010 Annual Report and is also available on the Company's website (www.iluka.com).
The Remuneration Report:
- describes the policies behind, and the structure of, the remuneration arrangements of the Company and link between the remuneration of key management personnel and the Company's performance; and
- sets out the remuneration arrangements in place for each director and for the Managing Director and other key management personnel.
In accordance with section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the vote on Resolution 2 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. Nevertheless, the discussion in relation to this resolution, and the outcome of the vote, will be taken into consideration by the Board when considering the remuneration arrangements of the Company.
The Directors recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2 to adopt the Remuneration Report.
ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS (contd)
$3.$ Increase in Non-Executive Directors' Fee Cap
Quantum of the increase
At the 2004 AGM, Shareholders approved an increase in the maximum aggregate remuneration of non-executive Directors to \$1.1 million per year.
For the purposes of Article 20.1 of the Company's Constitution and Rule 10.17 of the ASX Listing Rules. Shareholder approval is now sought to increase the non-executive Directors' fee cap by \$400,000 from \$1.1 million to \$1.5 million per year.
Reasons for the increase
The present fee structure for Directors is set out on page 16 of the Annual Report. Effective 1 March 2011, the Board approved a 36.4 per cent increase in the base fee payable to each non-executive Director.
The Board has determined that there will be no further increase to the base fees payable to individual Directors at this time as a result of Shareholder approval of Resolution 3.
However, the Board considers that it is appropriate to seek approval for an increase in the non-executive Directors' fee cap for a number of specific reasons:
To have flexibility to increase the number of non-executive Directors on the Board
A key purpose of the proposed increase is to provide the Board with flexibility to make additional appointments to the Board. While the Board is not currently proposing to increase its size, a circumstance may arise where the Board may wish to appoint additional non-executive Directors.
One such circumstance in which the Board may wish to appoint additional Directors is where a potential candidate would bring complementary skills to the Board. If the Board wished to invite any such candidate to become a Director, the proposed increase in the non-executive Directors' fee cap would provide it with sufficient flexibility to take advantage of the opportunity to do so.
To assist succession planning
Attracting the right Board members and providing effective transition arrangements are fundamental to a high performing board. To facilitate an orderly transfer of responsibilities, new Directors may be appointed prior to the retirement of existing Directors, resulting in a short-term increase in the size of the Board and the total fees payable to the Directors. The proposed increase in the fee cap would enable the Company to facilitate succession planning.
Payments included in the non-executive Directors' fee cap
The non-executive Directors' fee cap includes fees that are paid to Iluka's non-executive Directors for serving on the Board or a committee of the Board, superannuation contributions made by the Company and its controlled entities and any fees a nonexecutive Director sacrifices on a pre-tax basis.
Insofar as they do not fall within any of the items that make up the non-executive Directors' fee cap, as outlined above, the nonexecutive Directors' fee cap does not include payments made on retirement, loss of office or death, or payments made in relation to a Director's involvement in any association, institution, fund, trust or scheme for the benefit of past or present employees or Directors of the Company, a related body corporate or any of their respective predecessors in business or for the benefit of the dependants of any such persons or for the benefit of persons connected with any of those persons.
Amount paid to non-executive Directors in 2010
As set out in the table at page 16 of the 2010 Annual Report, in 2010 a total of \$970,436 was paid to the non-executive Directors in fees and benefits. This amount is in respect of all Directors who served on the Board during 2010 and is inclusive of fees and superannuation contributions.
The total amount paid to non-executive Directors in 2010 was within the current non-executive Directors' fee limit of \$1.1 million.
Board recommendation
As the non-executive Directors have a personal interest in Resolution 3, the Directors make no recommendation as to how Shareholders should vote on this resolution. Shareholders should judge for themselves whether or not the increase in the fee cap should be approved.
$\overline{4}$ Grant of LTID Share Rights to Mr David Robb as a long term incentive
Resolution 4 seeks approval for the grant of 750,000 Share Rights (Long Term Incentive Deferred Share Rights or LTID Share Rights) to Mr David Robb on the terms and conditions summarised in this Explanatory Memorandum pursuant to the Company's Directors, Executives and Employees Share Acquisition Plan (Share Acquisition Plan).
The Board entered into discussions with Mr Robb in December 2010 when his retention share rights (issued in 2008) were about to vest.
The Board is very pleased that Mr Robb has accepted the Company's offer of 750,000 LTID Share Rights as an additional incentive, to be based upon generating absolute shareholder returns over a 3 year period. The LTID Share Rights are subject to vesting conditions as described below. The incentive is focused on continuing the outstanding success Mr Robb has achieved for shareholders.
Purpose of LTID Share Rights
The purpose of the LTID Share Rights is to provide Mr Robb with an appropriate incentive which is "at risk" and which is aligned to the long term growth in absolute Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for Iluka shareholders.
The TSR will be measured using generally accepted TSR methodology as determined by the Board and calculated by an external expert. TSR reflects growth in the share price and other value directly received by a shareholder.
The proposed incentive is considered reasonable and appropriate having regard to the remuneration and incentive arrangements provided to the chief executive officers of comparable sized companies which are performing well.
The LTID Share Rights are subject to performance measured over the periods commencing after release of the annual financial results for the financial years 2010, 2011 and 2012. In any of these financial years for the rights to vest an ROE of at least 12 per cent must be achieved in addition to the hurdle rate TSR.
The proposed grant of LTID Share Rights is in addition to the Share Rights granted to Mr Robb under the Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) and Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) as a regular part of his annual remuneration package, details of which are set in the Remuneration Report contained in the Company's 2010 Annual Report. The LTID Share Rights comprise an additional "long-term incentive payment" for the purposes of Mr Robb's Executive Employment Agreement.
The grant of LTID Share Rights follows the vesting in March 2011 of 1,000,000 Share Rights granted to Mr Robb (as approved by Shareholders in 2008) as a retention incentive. As disclosed in the Remuneration Report, the value of the 1,000,000 Share Rights at the time of their vesting was \$10,660,000.
Key terms of LTID Share Rights
If approved by Shareholders, the LTID Share Rights will be granted on the terms and conditions summarised in Schedule 1 to this Explanatory Memorandum.
The LTID Share Rights, and any Shares acquired on the vesting of Share Rights, will be governed by the Rules of the Company's Share Acquisition Plan. A summary of the Share Acquisition Plan Rules is set out in Schedule 2 to this Explanatory Memorandum.
The LTID Share Rights enable Mr Robb to acquire Shares, subject to the satisfaction of performance and vesting criteria set out in Schedule 1.
Summary of operation of the LTID Share Rights
The LTID Share Rights will be granted in 3 tranches, with each tranche being subject to performance criteria referable to Iluka's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance.
There is:
- a base tranche of 150,000 Share Rights per year that requires an absolute TSR of 12.5 per cent compounding over the 3 years;
- a second tranche of 50,000 Share Rights per year that requires absolute TSR of 15 per cent compounding over 3 years; and
- a third tranche of 50,000 Shares Rights per year that requires absolute TSR of 17.5 per cent compounding over 3 years.
The "Performance Periods" for each tranche of Share Rights are as follows:
| Year 1 Performance Period 1 |
Year 2 Performance Period 2 |
Year 3 Performance Period 3 |
|---|---|---|
| 150,000 | 150,000 | 150,000 |
| 50,000 | 50,000 | 50,000 |
| 50.000 | 50,000 | 50,000 |
1 From 4 March 2011 to the date 5 Business Days after announcement of the 2011 annual financial results (the end date will be in late February or early March 2012).
2 From the end of the Year 1 Performance Period to the date 5 Business Days after announcement of the 2012 annual financial results (the end date will be in late February or early March 2013).
3 From the end of the Year 2 Performance Period to the date 5 Business Days after announcement of the 2013 annual financial results (the end date will be in late February or early March 2014).
ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS (contd)
For each tranche of LTID Share Rights there are TSR performance hurdles referable to each Performance Period. The various TSR performance hurdles are stated in the tables in Schedule 1.
At the end of each Performance Period the Company's TSR for the Performance Period will be determined and compared against the TSR performance hurdles for that Performance Period. If the 1st performance hurdle is satisfied the Tranche 1 Share Rights will vest; if the 2nd performance hurdle is satisfied the Tranche 1 and Tranche 2 Share Rights will vest; and if the 3rd performance hurdle is satisfied the Tranche 1, Tranche 2 and Tranche 3 Share Rights will vest.
The Share Rights applicable to a Performance Period will also vest if the TSR performance hurdle is not satisfied at the end of that Performance Period, but the "compound" TSR performance hurdle for the subsequent Performance Period is satisfied. This aspect of the LTID Share Rights is considered appropriate considering the purpose of the LTID is to drive absolute TSR growth over the life of the LTID Share Rights.
The "base" from which Iluka's absolute TSR performance shall be measured over the life of the LTID Share Rights is \$10.66, being the volume weighted average price of Iluka Shares traded over the 5 Business Days following release of the Company's 2010 financial results on 25 February 2011.
When the Board commenced discussions with Mr Robb for the structuring of a long term incentive in December 2010, it was agreed that the appropriate starting price for measuring absolute TSR growth would be the price of Iluka Shares at the time of release of the 2010 financial results.
Maximum entitlement to Shares
Subject to the conditions of the LTID Share Rights as described in Schedule 1, Mr Robb will become entitled to a maximum of 750,000 Shares in March 2015 if the TSR performance of the Company's Shares is determined at the end of the Year 3 Performance Period (i.e. end-March 2014) to be 62.2 per cent above the starting price of \$10.66.
Other relevant vesting requirements
A tranche of Share Rights will not vest unless the relevant vesting conditions applicable to that tranche are satisfied.
Satisfaction of the TSR performance criteria also requires the Company to achieve an annual return on equity (ROE) of at least 12 per cent for each of the 2011, 2012 and 2013 financial years. However, this ROE condition will not apply to any LTID Share Rights that vest early in any one of the circumstances described immediately below.
Subject to satisfaction of the vesting conditions, Share Rights will vest on the day 12 months after the last day of the 3rd Performance Period (i.e. in early 2015), subject to the possibility of earlier vesting, including on a pro rata basis, if a Control Event occurs or if Mr Robb's employment terminates due to his death, illness, injury or disability, redundancy, a material diminution of his position or because the Company gives Mr Robb notice of termination without cause, as set out under his current employment contract. A Control Event includes a person becoming entitled to 50 per cent or more of the total Company Shares on issue by reason of a takeover bid.
On the vesting of Share Rights, Shares will be acquired on Mr Robb's behalf by means of an on-market acquisition of Shares.
Shares acquired pursuant to the vesting of LTID Share Rights will not be subject to any restrictions on disposal after acquisition.
If approved, the LTID Share Rights will be deemed to have been granted on 4 March 2011, being the date which is 5 Business days after the announcement of the full year results for the year ended 31 December 2010.
Reason for seeking Shareholder approval
Shareholder approval of the LTID Share Rights is sought in the interests of good corporate governance.
The grant of the LTID Share Rights will confer a financial benefit on Mr Robb. Shareholder approval is not being sought for the purposes of the related party benefit provisions of the Corporations Act (particularly section 208 of the Corporations Act) on the basis that the benefit is considered to constitute reasonable remuneration and, therefore, the exception in section 211 applies. Section 211 provides that shareholder approval is not required for the purposes of section 208 in circumstances where the benefit constitutes remuneration which would be reasonable given the company's and the related party's circumstances.
Having taken the advice of a remuneration consultant in relation to the remuneration benefits and incentives proposed for Mr Robb, including the LTID Share Rights, and having considered the Company's circumstances and Mr Robb's position as Managing Director, the Board (other than Mr Robb) considers that the financial benefit conferred by the grant of LTID Share Rights is reasonable and, therefore, the exception in section 211 applies.
Shareholder approval of the LTID Share Rights is not required for the purposes of the Listing Rules as the proposed incentive will not involve any issue of new Shares to Mr Robb. Instead, if Mr Robb becomes entitled to Shares on the vesting of LTID Share Rights, those Shares will be acquired on market on Mr Robb's behalf.
Although Shareholder approval is not sought for the purposes of the Corporations Act or the Listing Rules, as the LTID Share Rights constitute a special long term incentive in addition to Mr Robb's other remuneration arrangements and incentives, it is considered appropriate that Shareholder approval be sought.
Managing Director's remuneration structure
Mr Robb is presently entitled to a total fixed remuneration (TFR) amount of \$1,750,000 per annum (inclusive of superannuation). This amount may be increased at the Board's discretion with effect from 1 January each year to take into account general market movements and Mr Robb's performance. The review will include external advice and advice of the Remuneration and Nomination Committee.
Mr Robb's TFR was increased to \$1,750,000 with effect from 1 January 2011 from \$1,500,000 (which it had been since 1 January 2008) following a review of his remuneration arrangements.
Mr Robb is also eligible to participate in Iluka's Performance Incentive Plan on the terms governing that plan from time to time. The Performance Incentive Plan comprises a Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) and a Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP). The current operation of the STIP and the LTIP is described in Remuneration Report contained in the Company's 2010 Annual Report.
The maximum incentive Mr Robb may earn for 2011 is 150 per cent of TFR. The target incentive opportunity for the Managing Director under the STIP is 90 per cent of TFR and under the LTIP is 30 per cent of TFR. At stretch levels of performance the incentive opportunity under the STIP increases to 120 per cent.
The current performance components under the STIP for Mr Robb are as follows:
| $\bullet$ | Profitability (ROC, EBIT and NPAT) | 50 per cent |
|---|---|---|
| Sustainability* | 10 per cent | |
| $\langle\langle\bullet\rangle\rangle$ | Growth (individual objectives) | 40 per cent |
Sustainability is a measure of total recordable injury frequency rate, severity rate and "level 2" and above environmental incidents.
50 per cent of the STIP entitlements are awarded in cash and 50 per cent in the form of restricted Shares.
The current performance components under the LTIP for Mr Robb are as follows:
| ٠ | Return on equity | 50 per cent |
|---|---|---|
| Total shareholder return (TSR) | 50 per cent | |
All LTIP entitlements are awarded in the form of Share Rights.
The LTID Share Rights differ from the Share Rights under the LTIP referred to above in that:
- the entitlement to Shares on the basis of LTID Share Rights involves measuring Iluka's absolute TSR over periods of $\bullet$ time: whereas
- the LTIP arrangements involve measuring Iluka's TSR performance relative to the TSR performance of other comparable companies.
The increase in Mr Robb's TFR, the continuation of Mr Robb's previously established STIP and LTIP entitlements and the proposed grant of 750,000 LTID Share Rights were determined by the Board following a review of the Managing Director's remuneration and entitlements against those of CEO's of a range of similar sized companies which are performing well. This review was undertaken with the assistance of an external remuneration consultant.
Further details of Mr Robb's employment and remuneration arrangements and incentives and entitlements under the STIP and the LTIP, including a description of the offers made to Mr Robb under the STIP and LTIP, are contained in the Remuneration Report of the Company's 2010 Annual Report and Section 5 of this Explanatory Memorandum (in relation to termination benefits).
Recommendation of Directors
The Directors, other than Mr Robb, recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
The Directors consider that the proposed grant of LTID Share Rights constitutes an appropriate long-term incentive to Mr Robb and constitutes reasonable remuneration given the circumstances of the Company and the circumstances and responsibilities of the Managing Director.
ORDINARY RESOLUTIONS (contd)
- Approval of termination benefits payable to Mr David Robb, Managing Director
Background
In conjunction with the Company's offer of LTID Share Rights to Mr Robb, the Company and Mr Robb have also agreed revisions to the Executive Employment Agreement entered into between Mr Robb and the Company
The terms of the revised employment agreement are substantially the same as the previous terms of the employment agreement save that the revised employment agreement:
- recognises changes to the incentive arrangements that have been implemented by Iluka for its executives since Mr Robb became Managing Director, and clarifies Mr Robb's entitlement to those incentives on termination of his employment;
- includes changes with respect to annual, personal, carer's and other leave entitlements to reflect the legislative requirements of the Fair Work Act 2009 (Cth); and
- provides for a 12 month notice period for termination by the Company in the event of Mr Robb's illness (in the manner described below) - the previous executive employment agreement provided for a 6 month notice period.
Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for certain termination payments and benefits which Mr Robb which may become entitled to if his employment is terminated. Details of the termination events and the payments and benefits which may be made to Mr Robb are set out below
The termination entitlements and benefits in the revised employment agreement are conditional upon Shareholder approval. The termination entitlements and benefits remain the same as those previously approved by Shareholders at the 2007 AGM, except for:
- the increase in notice period for termination in the event of illness from 6 months to 12 months; and
- the clarification of Mr Robb's entitlement to the total incentive for performance at target under both the STIP and LTIP (including, without limitation, the LTID Share Rights), not just the STIP, pro rata up to the end of the 12 month notice period (except in circumstances of summary termination).
Section 200E of the Corporations Act
Shareholder approval is sought under section 200E of the Corporations Act. Section 200B of the Corporations Act prevents a company from giving a benefit to a director in connection with the director's retirement or removal from office unless the company's shareholders approve that benefit under section 200E or unless the benefit falls within certain exceptions set out in the Corporations Act. A payment or benefit will only fall within the exceptions set out in the Corporations Act if the amount of the payment is less than a prescribed multiple of the director's remuneration and if the nature of the payment falls within one of a number of categories set out in the Corporations Act (for example, a payment by way of damages for breach of contract or a payment for past services).
Mr Robb's termination entitlements under the terms of the revised Executive Employment Agreement may not technically fall within any of the categories of exception set out in the Corporations Act and accordingly Shareholder approval is sought.
Having taken advice from a remuneration consultant with particular expertise in the field of senior executive remuneration packages, the Board has formed the view that the circumstances in which the payments may be made to Mr Robb are appropriate and the amounts of such payments are not excessive or unusual for an executive of the calibre of Mr Robb.
Section 200E of the Corporations Act requires that where shareholders are asked to approve a payment or other benefit to a director that would otherwise be prohibited by section 200B, shareholders must be given details of the amount of the payment or benefit, or, if the amount cannot be ascertained at the time of the disclosure, the manner in which the amount or benefit is to be calculated and any matter, event or circumstance that will, or is likely to affect the calculation of the amount. The amount of any payment or other benefit that may be made to Mr Robb in connection with his retirement or removal from office depends on both his remuneration at the time that he ceases to hold office and the circumstances in which he ceases to hold office.
To inform Shareholders of the manner in which termination payments and benefits may be calculated, the following paragraphs summarise the remuneration and termination provisions of Mr Robb's employment agreement.
Managing Director's remuneration and incentive arrangements
Information about Mr Robb's remuneration arrangements and incentives and entitlements under the Short Term Incentive Plan and the Long Term Incentive Plan, including a description of the offers made to Mr Robb under the STIP and LTIP, is described in section 4 of this Explanatory Memorandum and in Iluka's Remuneration Report for the year ended 31 December 2010, which is set out on pages 9 to 21 of the Company's 2010 Annual Report.
Termination arrangements and entitlements
The termination provisions of the revised Executive Employment Agreement and entitlements of Mr Robb on termination of employment are described below.

Iluka may terminate Mr Robb's employment by giving 12 months notice or paying an equivalent amount of TFR in lieu of notice.
On termination with notice by Iluka, Mr Robb will be entitled to:

- payment in lieu of pro-rata long service leave on termination after 7 years of continuous service with the Company; $(b)$
- the total incentive for performance at target under the STIP and LTIP, pro rata up to the end of the 12 month notice period; and $(c)$
- all Shares to which Mr Robb is entitled under the LTIP and all Shares pursuant to LTID Share Rights which vest in accordance $(d)$ with the terms of the LTID Share Rights (such LTIP entitlements or LTID Share Rights, as the case may be, will automatically vest and the resulting Shares will be transferred to Mr Robb free of any holding lock or other restriction on dealing).
Termination on the grounds of redundancy, on material diminution or for illness
Iluka may terminate Mr Robb's employment on the ground of redundancy by giving 12 months notice or paying Mr Robb an equivalent amount of TFR in lieu of notice.
Mr Robb may elect to treat his employment as terminated if he suffers a material diminution in his status as Managing Director. and within 2 months of such diminution gives 2 weeks written notice to the Company to treat his employment as being terminated. in which case the Company shall give Mr Robb 12 months notice of termination of employment or shall pay an equivalent amount of TFR in lieu of notice
Iluka may terminate Mr Robb's employment if Mr Robb suffers an illness, accident or other cause which renders him unable to perform his duties for 3 consecutive months, or a period aggregating more than 4 months in any 12 month period, by giving Mr Robb 12 months notice or paying an equivalent amount of TFR in lieu of notice.
On termination for redundancy, material diminution or illness, Mr Robb will be entitled to:
- $(a)$ payment of accrued but untaken annual leave;
- $(b)$ payment in lieu of pro-rata long service leave on termination after 7 years of continuous service with the Company;

Resignation by Mr Robb
Mr Robb may terminate his employment at any time by giving six months notice. Iluka may elect to pay Mr Robb an equivalent amount of TFR in lieu of notice.
On termination by resignation, Mr Robb will be entitled to:
- $(a)$ payment of accrued but untaken annual leave: and
- $(b)$ payment in lieu of pro-rata long service leave on termination after 7 years of continuous service with the Company.

Summary termination without notice
Iluka may terminate Mr Robb's employment without notice in the case of misconduct and in certain other circumstances.
In this event, Mr Robb will not be entitled to pro-rata long service leave or any payment or award under the Company's incentive plans, but will be entitled to payment in lieu of accrued but untaken annual leave.
Protection of Company interests
Mr Robb is restrained from engaging in certain activities during his employment, and for a period following termination of his employment, in order to protect Iluka's interests. The revised employment agreement contains provisions relating to the protection of confidential information and intellectual property.
Directors' recommendation
All Directors, other than Mr Robb, recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5. Mr Robb makes no recommendation in light of his personal interest in this Resolution.

-
The vesting conditions in respect of each tranche of the LTID Share Rights are as follows:
-
Subject to the conditions set out in this paragraph 5, a proportion of a tranche of LTID Share Rights will vest on the Vesting Date. $(a)$
- The proportion of each tranche of LTID Share Rights that will vest on the Vesting Date is dependent upon whether the TSR $(b)$ of the Company calculated over the Performance Period for that tranche achieves an "Outcome Hurdle" identified in this paragraph 5 (Outcome Hurdle).
- If an Outcome Hurdle for a Performance Period in respect of a tranche of LTID Share Rights is not achieved, that tranche of LTID $(c)$ Shares will nevertheless vest if an Outcome Hurdle in a subsequent Performance Period is achieved.
- $(d)$ The Outcome Hurdles and the number of LTID Share Rights that will vest in respect of each Performance Period if an Outcome Hurdle is achieved are as set out in the following tables:
Year 1 Performance Period:
| Outcome Hurdle A TSR is $\geq$ 12.5% |
Outcome Hurdle B TSR is $\geq$ 15.0% |
Outcome Hurdle C TSR is $\geq$ 17.5% |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Tranche 1 | 150,000 | 150,000 | 150,000 |
| Tranche 2 | 50,000 | 50,000 | |

| Maximum LTID Share Rights that will vest | 150,000 | 200,000 | 250,000 |
In respect of the above, "TSR" is the TSR calculated in respect of the Year 1 Performance Period.
Year 2 Performance Period:
| Outcome Hurdle A TSR 1 is $\geq$ 26.6% |
Outcome Hurdle B TSR 1 is $\geq$ 32.3% |
Outcome Hurdle C TSR 1 is $\geq$ 38.1% |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Tranche 1 | 150,000 | 150,000 | 150,000 |
| Tranche 2 | 50,000 | 50,000 | |
| Tranche 3 | 50,000 | ||
| Number of additional LTID Share Rights that will vest | 150,000 | 200,000 | 250,000 |
| Maximum number of LTID Share Rights that will vest 2 | 300,000 | 400,000 | 500,000 |
In respect of the above table, "TSR" means the total compound TSR calculated over period commencing from the start of the Year 1 Performance $\mathbf{1}$ Period and ending at the end of the Year 2 Performance Period.
This is the maximum number of LTID Share Rights that will vest if an Outcome Hurdle in respect of Year 2 Performance Period is achieved, including $\overline{2}$ any LTID Share Rights from the Year 1 Performance Period that will also vest.
Year 3 Performance Period:
$(i)$
| Outcome Hurdle A TSR 1 is $\geq 42.4\%$ |
Outcome Hurdle B TSR 1 is $\ge$ 52.1% |
Outcome Hurdle C TSR 1 is $\geq 62.2\%$ |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| Tranche 1 | 150,000 | 150,000 | 150,000 |
| Tranche 2 | 50,000 | 50,000 | |
| Tranche 3 | 50,000 | ||
| Number of additional LTID Share Rights that will vest | 150,000 | 200,000 | 250,000 |
| Maximum number of LTID Share Rights that will vest 2 | 400,000 | 600,000 | 750,000 |
$\overline{1}$ In respect of the above table, "TSR" means the total compound TSR calculated over period commencing from the start of the Year 1 Performance Period and ending at the end of the Year 3 Performance Period. $\overline{c}$
This is the maximum number of LTID Share Rights that will vest if an Outcome Hurdle in respect of the Year 3 Performance Period is achieved, including any LTID Share Rights applicable to the Year 1 Performance Period and the Year 2 Performance Period that will also yest
Subject to paragraph 5(g), LTID Share Rights will only vest in respect a Performance Period if the return on equity (ROE) as $(e)$ stated in the financial results given to ASX for the financial year which concludes during a Performance Period is 12.0 per cent or more (ROE Condition).
Satisfaction of the vesting conditions is tested in relation to each Performance Period and each tranche of LTID Share Rights. $(f)$
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Share Plan Rules, and without limiting the discretion of the Board under the $(q)$ Share Plan Rules to provide greater entitlements to the Managing Director:
- if the relevant Outcome Hurdle for a tranche of LTID Share Rights has been satisfied either:
- $(A)$ at the time a Control Event occurs or the Board recommends that Shareholders accept a Takeover Bid; or
- $(B)$ at the time of termination of employment under clause 18.1 (notice by the Company without cause), clause 18.2 (redundancy) or clause 18.3 (material diminution) of the Managing Director's employment contract,
then that tranche of LTID Share Rights will automatically vest on the Vesting Date notwithstanding the tranche is referable to a Performance Period which has not at the relevant time either ended or occurred; for example, if an event of the type described in paragraphs (A) or (B) above occurs during the Year 2 Performance Period and at the time of such event the compound TSR growth (over the period commencing on the start of the Year 1 Performance Period and ending at the relevant time) is 62.2 per cent or more then all 750,000 LTID Share Rights will vest;
- $(ii)$ a tranche of LTID Share Rights which does not vest under paragraph 5(g)(i), including any tranche of LTID Share Rights applicable to the then current or a future Performance Period, must be deemed by the Board to have automatically vested on the Vesting Date if:
- $(A)$ a Control Event occurs or the Board recommends that Shareholders accept a Takeover Bid; and
- $(B)$ the Board acting reasonably determines that, having regard to:
- $(aa)$ the price of Shares at the time of such determination; or
- $(bb)$ the consideration being offered for Shares pursuant to the Takeover Bid; or
- $(cc)$ the consideration being offered pursuant to any other offer by which a Control Event may occur.
the Outcome Hurdle applicable to that tranche of LTID Share Rights would be satisfied assuming the relevant Performance Period had ended or occurred and the Outcome Hurdle was tested at that time;
for example, if an event of the type described in paragraph 5(g)(ii)(A) above occurs during the Year 3 Performance Period and at the time of such event compound TSR growth is less than 62.2 per cent, then all 750,000 LTID Share Rights will nonetheless vest if the consideration being offered for Shares pursuant to the relevant Takeover Bid (or other offer by which a Control Event may occur) is determined by the Board, acting reasonably, to deliver a premium to Shareholders comparable to compound TSR growth of 62.2 per cent or more;
$(iii)$ if the relevant TSR Outcome Hurdle for a tranche of LTID Share Rights has been satisfied before the time the Managing Director dies or ceases to be employed by reason of ill health, injury or disability, then that tranche of LTID Share Rights will automatically vest on the Vesting Date, but only if the Performance Period in respect of that tranche has ended by the time the Managing Director ceases to be employed; for example, in the event the Managing Director ceases to be employed during the Year 2 Performance Period by reason of ill health and the Year 1 Performance Period TSR growth was 17.5 per cent or more, then all of the Year 1 Performance Period tranches (i.e. 250,000 LTID Share Rights) will vest, but no other tranches of LTID Share Rights will vest.
TERMS OF DEFERRED LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN SHARE RIGHTS FOR MR DAVID ROBB (contd)
The ROE Condition shall not apply to a vesting determination made pursuant to this paragraph 5(g). That is, a tranche of LTID Share Rights will vest in the circumstances described in this paragraph 5(g) even if ROE is less than 12 per cent for a financial year which concludes during a Performance Period.
Further, any shares that are acquired on vesting of LTID Share Rights in the circumstances contemplated by this paragraph 5(g) will be transferred to the Managing Director free of any holding lock or other restriction on dealing.
- $(h)$ The LTID Share Rights may also vest in the circumstances set out in Rules 7.12 and 7.16 of the Share Plan Rules.
- The Vesting Date is the earlier of: $(i)$
- subject to paragraph 6, the day 12 months after the last day of the Year 3 Performance Period; $(i)$
- $(ii)$ the date a Control Event occurs;
- $(iii)$ the date the Company makes an announcement to the effect that the Board recommends that Shareholders accept a Takeover Bid;
- the date the Managing Director dies or ceases to be employed by reason of ill health, injury or disability; and $(iv)$
- $(V)$ the date of termination of the Managing Director's employment under the notice by the Company without cause (clause 18.1), redundancy (clause 18.2), material diminution (18.3) and illness (clause 18.4) provisions of the Managing Director's employment contract.
-
- If the Managing Director would be required to pay any income tax or other tax liability arising from the grant of the Share Rights after the TSR of the Company for Year 3 Performance Period has been determined but before the day 12 months after the last day of the Year 3 Performance Period (Tax Liability), the Board and the Managing Director shall in good faith consult and determine the number Shares which the Managing Director would be required to sell on market to provide funds sufficient to satisfy the Tax Liability and as soon as practicable after such determination a corresponding number of Share Rights will automatically vest.
- The TSR of the Company for a Performance Period will be determined within 15 Business Days after the end of the Performance $7.$ Period. The TSR shall be determined on the basis of a Share price at the commencement of the Year 1 Performance Period of \$10.66, being a price which the Company and the Managing Director acknowledge and agree as being the appropriate base from which TSR for the purposes of the LTID Share Rights should be measured.
-
- For the purposes of the LTID Share Rights, the TSR of the Company is the percentage growth in the price of Shares together with the value of dividends and distributions of share capital, assuming that all of those dividends and distributions are reinvested. TSR will be calculated using such generally accepted methodology for calculation of TSR as the Board may, in its reasonable discretion, and having reasonable regard to the purpose of the LTID and any amendment made to the definition of "TSR" in the Share Plan Rules, determine to use.
- $\overline{Q}$ All Share Rights that have not vested by the Vesting Date will be forfeited:
- $(a)$ in the circumstances set out in Rule 10.2 of the Share Plan Rules; or
- $(b)$ if the employment of the Managing Director is terminated for any of the reasons justifying summary termination under clause 18.7 of his employment contract.
-
- In the event the grant of the LTID Share Rights is approved by Shareholders, the LTID Share Rights will be deemed to have been granted on the date which is 5 Business days after the announcement of the full year results for the year ending 31 December 2010.

In such circumstances as the Board thinks fit, including if a Control Event occurs, the Board may in its absolute discretion determine that any Performance Criteria and vesting conditions in respect of any Share Rights stated in an Invitation have been satisfied and the Share Rights have become Vested Share Rights, irrespective of non-satisfaction of any Performance Criteria or vesting conditions stated in any Invitation.
If a Control Event occurs then, in respect of any Share Rights stated in an Invitation for which the Performance Period has not completed:
- $(a)$ the Board shall consider the extent to which any Performance Criteria have been satisfied, having regard to the entitlements of the Senior Manager under any terms of employment; and
- to the extent to which any Pe rformance Criteria are considered by the Board to have been satisfied, the Board shall $(b)$ determine that the Performance Criteria and the vesting conditions are deemed to have been satisfied in respect of some or all of the Share Rights stated in the Invitation and have become Vested Share Rights.
- $4.$ Lapse of Share Rights
Unless the Board determines otherwise, a Share Right lapses:
- if the Performance Criteria or vesting conditions can no longer be met; $(a)$
- in specified circumstances on cessation of employment; $(b)$
- $(c)$ in the event of forfeiture; and
- on expiry of 10 years after it is granted. $(d)$

- ill health, injury, disability, redundancy, retrenchment or death; or $(a)$
- $(b)$ any other reason which the Board in its absolute discretion determines.
the Board may in its absolute discretion determine that the Participant shall be entitled to that number of Shares the subject of any Share Rights stated in the Invitation as may be determined by the Board, notwithstanding the Performance Criteria and the vesting conditions in respect of those Share Rights may not have at that time been satisfied.
6 Restriction on disposal of Plan Shares
A Participant must not Dispose of any Plan Share before the expiration of the Non-Disposal Period in respect of that Share, unless one of the following events occurs before expiry of the Non-Disposal Period:

$7.$ Forfeiture of Share Rights
If in the opinion of the Board:
- $(a)$ a Participant acts unlawfully, fraudulently or dishonestly, or is in serious breach of his or her obligations to any Group Company; or
- an event or circumstance specified in any Invitation issued by the Board as one that could result in the Participant forfeiting $(b)$ Share Rights occurs or arises,

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Rules or the terms of any Invitation, no Share Rights may be offered or granted and a person may not acquire any Share Rights or Shares under the Share Acquisition Plan, if to do so would contravene the Rules or any law.
The costs and expenses of establishing, managing and administering the Share Acquisition Plan will be borne by, or reimbursed by, the Company.

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.
Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.
Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the meeting and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.
A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company.
