ITEM 2 – Adoption of remuneration report
In accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act the Company has proposed a Remuneration Report for the consideration of Securityholders.
As provided by section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act , the resolution on this item of business is advisory only and does not bind the Board or the Company.
The Company’s remuneration framework is designed to attract, engage, motivate and retain the key talent necessary to achieve our goals and create value for our shareholders. The Board is committed to ensure that the Group’s remuneration policies and practices are fair, competitive and responsible and that we communicate the remuneration arrangements with clarity. We are also aware that executive KMP remuneration practices are continually evolving and therefore our practices remain under constant review.
The Company has designed a remuneration framework to support both a high performance culture and a team focus on adhering to agreed business objectives and directions. The key objectives of the Company’s reward framework are to:
-
Align remuneration with the Group’s business strategy;
-
– Offer an attractive mix of remuneration benchmarked against the market;
-
Provide strong linkage between individual and Group performance and rewards;
-
Offer remuneration based on internal equity with other employees’ and individuals’ skills, matching the role requirements with their experience and responsibilities; and
-
Align the interests of executives and securityholders and share the success of the Group with the employees.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Securityholders vote in favour of this resolution.
Voting Exclusion Statement
As required by the Corporations Act , the Company will disregard any votes cast on Item 2 by any member of the Company’s KMP or a Closely Related Party of any such member unless the person:

-
ii. is the Chairman of the Meeting and votes as a proxy appointed by writing that authorises the Chairman to vote on the resolution even though that resolution is connected with the remuneration of a member of the Group’s KMP.
What this means for Securityholders: If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP (such as one of the Directors) as your proxy, please ensure that you direct them how to vote on the proposed resolution in Item 2. If you intend to appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy, you can direct him how to vote by marking the boxes for Item 2 (for example, if you wish to vote for, against or abstain from voting), or you can choose not to mark any of the boxes for Item 2 and give the Chairman your express authority to vote your undirected proxy (in which case the Chairman will vote in favour of this item of business).

Directors’ Recommendation
The Board unanimously (other than Ms Lyons) supports the re-election of Ms Lyons and recommends that Securityholders vote in favour of this resolution.
ITEM 4 – Ratification of issue of Stapled Securities
Background
On 3 May 2017, the Group announced a capital raising via a security placement to institutional investors (Placement). A total of 12,307,616 securities (Placement Securities) were issued and allotted on 15 May 2017.
Reasons for resolution
As outlined in the ASX announcement of 3 May 2017, the Placement was carried out to finance the acquisition of five additional lifestyle communities.
Listing Rule 7.1 restricts the number of Equity Securities which a listed entity can issue in any 12 month period, without the approval of Securityholders, to 15% of the number of securities on issue at the start of the period, subject to certain adjustments and permitted exceptions. Listing Rule 7.4 provides that an issue of securities is deemed to have been made with Securityholder approval if Listing Rule 7.1 is not breached at the time the securities were issued and Securityholders subsequently approve the issue.
Therefore, if Securityholders ratify the issue of the Placement Securities pursuant to Item 4, the Group will have the flexibility to issue further Equity Securities up to the 15% limit over the next 12 month period because the Placement Securities will not be counted for the purposes of the 15% limit set out in Listing Rule 7.1.
6 Notice of Meetings 2017
Notice of Meetings 2017
INGENIA COMMUNITIES GROUP
The following information is provided to Securityholders to allow them to assess Item 4, including for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.5:
-
a. The number of securities allotted and issued: 12,307,616.
-
b. Issue price: $2.60 per Stapled Security. This price was equal to the Accelerated Non-Renounceable Entitlement Offer made to eligible Securityholders launched in conjunction with the Placement.
-
c. Terms of the Securities: The Placement Securities allotted and issued rank equally with the existing securities on issue.
-
d. Allottees: The Placement Securities were allotted and issued to new and existing institutional investors.
-
e. Intended use of funds raised: Funds raised from the issue of the Placement Securities were used to fund the acquisition of five additional lifestyle communities.
Voting Exclusion Statement
The Company will disregard any votes cast on Item 4 by any person who participated in the issue of the Placement Securities under this item and an associate of that person (or those persons). However the Company will not disregard a vote if it is cast as a proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form, or, it is cast by the person chairing the meeting as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Securityholders vote in favour of this resolution.
ITEMS 5 and 6: Grant of Short Term Incentive Plan Rights and Long Term Incentive Plan Rights to Mr Simon Owen
The terms of Mr Owen’s employment contract with Ingenia allows him to participate in the Ingenia Communities Group Rights Plan. The Board has proposed that for the year ending 30 June 2018, Mr Owen be eligible for Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP) Rights and Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) Rights (Rights).
The intention of the Rights Plan is to align Securityholder returns of Ingenia Communities Group with the ‘atrisk’ compensation potentially payable to executive level employees and to reward executives who remain in employment and perform at the required levels of performance.
For the year ending 30 June 2018, Mr Owen’s remuneration comprises the following components:
The at-risk deferred portion of the short term incentive (STI) and the at-risk long term incentive (LTI) are granted under the Rights Plan and subject to the rules of that Rights Plan, in addition to the terms and conditions outlined below.
If Items 5 and 6 are approved by Securityholders, the Company will offer Mr Owen the Rights under a letter of offer shortly following the Meeting. The date of that offer will be the date of the grant and the Rights will be issued shortly thereafter.
STIP Award
The amount of the STI, which Mr Owen is entitled to receive, will be determined by the Board, having regard to an assessment of the STIP Performance Conditions set out below following the end of the STI Performance Period (being from 1 July 2017 to 30 June 2018) (STIP Award).
The STIP Award is comprised of two components:
-
One-third in cash (STIP Cash Award); and
-
Two-thirds in Rights to INA Securities (STIP Rights).
STIP Cash Award
It is intended that the STIP Cash Award will be paid on or about 1 October 2018, provided that Mr Owen continues to qualify for the STI.
STIP Rights
The grant of STIP Rights to Mr Owen is subject to Securityholder approval. The number of STIP Rights to be granted to Mr Owen will be determined by dividing twothirds of the maximum STIP Award (determined following testing against the STIP Performance Conditions) by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 trading days prior to the grant date (expected to be on or about 1 October 2018).
Total maximum STI Award for FY18: $614,250
Two-thirds of maximum STI Award as STIP Rights: $409,500
STIP Rights to be granted: $409,500 divided by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date (expected to be 1 October 2018).
For example if the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date was $2.60 and the Board determined that Mr Owen was entitled to the full twothirds of his STI Award, then 157,500 STIP Rights would be granted.
No amount is payable in return for the grant of the STIP Rights.
-
fixed remuneration, including statutory superannuation of $682,500 per annum;
-
an at-risk short term incentive of up to 90% of fixed remuneration as a maximum, with one-third payable in cash and the remaining two-thirds settled via Rights and deferred for 12 months; and
-
an at-risk long term incentive of up to 80% of fixed remuneration in Rights.
Ingenia Communities Group

Vesting of STIP Rights
The following terms and conditions apply to the STIP Rights:
-
The STIP Rights are subject to a ‘malus’ provision during the deferral period – this means that some or all of the STIP Rights may lapse (and Mr Owen will not receive INA Securities) if:
-
the Board forms the view that INA’s earnings growth is not sustainable (in general, this will require earnings growth to be equal to or above 5% on the prior year); or
-
any of the circumstances set out in rules of the Rights Plan occur such as fraud or dishonesty, a breach of obligations or material misstatement of Ingenia’s financial statements.
-
The STIP Rights are subject to a one-year deferral period and are eligible to vest on the date that is twelve months following the grant date.
-
On the vesting date, Ingenia will cause the relevant number of INA Securities to be issued or transferred to Mr Owen as determined in accordance with the Rights Conversion Formula outlined below.
-
No amount is payable in return for the issue or transfer of INA Securities.
-
Rights will not lapse on cessation of employment unless termination is for cause, Mr Owen resigns, or the board in its discretion determines otherwise, having regard for the facts and circumstances at the time of the cessation of employment.
STIP Performance Conditions
The STIP Award is subject to the STIP Performance Conditions or Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). In each case, the KPIs are set with ‘threshold’, ‘performance’ and ‘stretch’ performance levels (with entitlements calculated on a pro-rata basis between these levels). The KPIs are broken into four broad assessment areas: Financial, Capital Management, Operational and Culture and Reporting. Each assessment area is weighted to break down the award further. KPIs and their measures are related to the Assessment Areas.
LTIP Award
Grant of LTIP Rights
The grant date, a date on and from the date of this Meeting and within 12 months of the date of this Meeting, of LTIP Rights is expected to be 14 November 2017. The grant of LTIP Rights to Mr Owen is subject to Securityholder approval.
Vesting of LTIP Rights
Mr Owen’s LTIP Rights will vest, to the extent that the Performance Conditions set out below are satisfied at the end of the LTI Performance Period (being from 1 October 2017 to 30 September 2020).
The following terms and conditions apply to Mr Owen’s LTIP Rights:
-
The LTIP Rights are subject to a ‘malus’ provision during the deferral period – this means that some or all of Mr Owen’s LTIP Rights may lapse (and he will not receive INA Securities) if any of the circumstances set out in rules of the Rights Plan occur such as fraud or dishonesty, a breach of obligations or material misstatement of Ingenia’s financial statements.
-
On the vesting date, Ingenia will cause the relevant number of INA Securities to be issued or transferred to Mr Owen as determined in accordance with the Rights Conversion Formula outlined below.
-
No amount is payable in return for the issue or transfer of INA Securities.
-
Rights will not lapse on cessation of employment and will remain to be tested at the end of the Performance Period, unless termination is for cause, Mr Owen resigns, or the board in its discretion determines otherwise, having regard for the facts and circumstances at the time of the cessation of employment, including the proportion of the Performance Period in which Mr Owen was employed with the Company.
LTIP Performance Conditions
The LTIP Rights offered are subject to the three LTIP Performance Conditions:
-
i. 40% based on a relative Total Securityholder Return (TSR);
-
ii. 30% based on a Return on Equity (ROE); and
-
iii. 30% based on Earnings before Interest and Tax (EBIT) Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR).
Relative TSR Performance Condition
TSR is the growth in the security price plus distributions, assuming distributions are reinvested. To minimise the impact of any short-term volatility, Ingenia’s TSR will be calculated using the volume weighted average of the closing security price over the 30 days up to and including the trading day prior to the start and the 30 days up to and including the end trading day of the LTI Performance Period.
The maximum number of LTIP Rights to be granted will be calculated by dividing the LTIP Award opportunity (being a percentage of Mr Owen’s total fixed remuneration) by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 trading days prior to the grant date (expected to be on or about 15 November 2017).
Maximum LTIP Rights to be granted: $546,000 divided by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date (expected to be 15 November 2017).
For example if the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date was $2.60, then 210,000 rights would be granted.
No amount is payable in return for the grant of the LTIP Rights.

Securityholder approval – ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires Securityholder approval before a Director can acquire securities or rights to securities under an employee incentive scheme. Approval from Securityholders is being sought to grant rights to Mr Owen under the Ingenia Communities Group Rights Plan in respect of the period immediately following this Meeting, with any Rights issued within 12 months after the date of this Meeting.
Information required by ASX Listing Rule 10.15
ASX Listing Rule 10.15 requires the following information to be disclosed in relation to the Rights to be granted to Mr Owen under the Rights Plan:
i. Maximum number of Rights and Stapled Securities
The maximum number of Rights that may be granted to Mr Owen within 12 months of this Meeting is the sum of the maximum STIP Rights and LTIP Rights to be granted. The maximum STIP and LTIP Rights to be granted are calculated as follows:
ITEM 5:
Maximum STIP Rights to be granted: $409,500 divided by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date (expected to be 1 October 2018).
ITEM 6:
Maximum LTIP Rights to be granted: $546,000 divided by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date (expected to be 15 November 2017).
Thus, for example if the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date was $2.60, then 157,500 STIP Rights and 210,000 LTIP Rights totalling 367,500 Rights would be granted.
After the grant of Rights, the number of Stapled Securities that Mr Owen may receive at the end of the vesting period on the vesting date will be determined having regard to the satisfaction of the relevant Performance Conditions and Rights Conversion Formula.
The Board retains discretion on whether entitlements to Securities will be settled via the issue of INA Securities or via the payment of cash. On vesting of the Rights, the Board will decide on or around the vesting day whether entitlements to Securities will be Equity Settled or Cash Settled.
ii. Price for each Right (and the price for each INA Security that vests)
No payment for the Rights or upon vesting of the Rights is required by Mr Owen.
-
iii. Securities under the Rights Plan received since the last approval
-
124,598 LTIP Rights were issued to Mr Owen under the Rights Plan in November 2016, for zero acquisition price; and
-
73,522 STIP Rights were issued to Mr Owen under the Rights Plan in October 2016, for zero acquisition price.
It is anticipated that the following STIP Rights will be issued to Mr Owen under the Rights Plan in October 2017:
- $252,525 divided by the 30 day VWAP prior to the grant date (expected to be 1 October 2017), at zero acquisition price.
iv. Persons who are entitled to participate in the Rights Plan
The eligible participants under the Rights Plan are employees of the Group (including Directors) or others who are determined by the Board to be eligible participants for the purposes of the Rights Plan.
Current participants in the Rights Plan are Mr Simon Owen (Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer) and KMP executives in the business. The granting of the Rights to senior executives other than Mr Owen did not require Securityholder approval. The details of grants to Mr Owen and other KMP executives are provided in the Company’s Remuneration Report contained in the 2017 Annual Report.
The Board may agree that other nominated members of the executive management team may participate in the Rights Plan for the year ended 30 June 2018 in terms of both the deferred equity STI and LTI.
All directors, being Mr James Hazel, Mr Robert Morrison, Ms Amanda Heyworth, Mr Philip Clark, Ms Valerie Lyons and including Mr Owen, are those referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who are currently entitled to participate in the Rights Plan. Mr Owen is the only person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who currently participates in the Rights Plan.
v. Terms of any related loan
There is no loan provided in relation to the acquisition of the Rights by Mr Owen.
vi. Issue date of Rights
The Rights will be granted to Mr Owen no earlier than immediately following this Meeting and no later than 12 months after this Meeting, on the conditions described in the Explanatory Notes.
Voting exclusion
The Company will disregard any votes cast on the proposed Items 5 and 6 by any Director of the Company (except one who is ineligible to participate in the Rights Plan), including Mr Owen and any associate of any such persons. However, the Company need not disregard a vote if:
-
a. it is cast by a person as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with the directions on the Proxy Form; or
-
b. it is cast by the Chairman as proxy for a person who is entitled to vote, in accordance with a direction on the Proxy Form to vote as the proxy decides.
In addition, no KMP of the Company or a Closely Related Party or Associate of such a KMP may vote as a proxy on the proposed Items 5 and 6 unless:
-
a. the person votes as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the person is to vote on the proposed Items 5 and 6; or
-
b. the person is the Chairman and votes as a proxy appointed by writing that authorises the Chairman to vote on the proposed Items 5 and 6 even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of KMP of the Company.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board unanimously (other than Mr Owen) recommends that Securityholders vote in favour of the resolutions in items 5 and 6.
