EXPLANATORY NOTES
Notes on Business
ITEM 1 – Financial Statements and Reports
As required by section 317 of the Corporations Act the Financial Report, Directors’ Report and Auditor’s Report of the Company for the most recent financial year will be presented to the Meeting.
The Financial Report comprises the consolidated financial report of the Company and its controlled entities, including the Ingenia Communities Fund and the Ingenia Communities Management Trust.
There is no requirement for a formal resolution on this Item.
The Chairman of the Meeting will allow a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting for Securityholders to ask questions about or make comments on the management of the Group. Securityholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity at the Meeting to ask the Group’s auditor, Ernst & Young (EY) questions about the Auditor’s Report, the conduct of its audit of the Group’s Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2018, the preparation and content of the Auditor’s Report, the accounting policies adopted by the Group in its preparation of the financial statements and the independence of EY in relation to the conduct of the audit.
Securityholders may submit written questions to the Company in relation to the above matters. Written questions must be received no later than 5.00pm (AEDT) on Tuesday 6 November 2018. A form to facilitate the submission of questions is attached to this Notice and it includes details on the return of this form to the Share Registry.
ITEM 2 – Adoption of remuneration report
In accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act the Company has published a Remuneration Report in the 2018 Annual Report.
As provided by section 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, the Company has included a resolution in this Notice for the consideration of Securityholders, seeking adoption of the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2018. 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’s remuneration framework continues to be ‘fit for purpose’. Remuneration levels are sufficient to attract and retain key executives, the performance measures focus management on Board priorities for creating incremental value, and reward outcomes are in line with the Group’s performance.
Ingenia undertakes regular reviews of its executive remuneration framework to ensure it is in line with Group strategy, Group and individual performance and market relativities. The Board has established a strong nexus between executive remuneration and Ingenia’s performance and its Securityholder return.
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 in favour of Item 2 by any member of the Company’s KMP or a Closely Related Party of any such member unless the person:
-
i. votes as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the person is to vote on the resolution; or
-
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).
ITEM 3 – Re-election and Election of Directors
In accordance with the Company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.5 an election of Directors must be held at each annual general meeting.
Under clause 74.1 of the Constitution, the minimum number of directors to retire from office and offer themselves for re-election is one. Further, clause 74.4 of the Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 state that Directors are not to hold office (without re-election) past the third AGM following the Director’s last appointment or three years, whichever is longer.

ITEMS 4 and 5 – 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 (Rights Plan). The Board has proposed that for the year ending 30 June 2019, 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 2019, Mr Owen’s remuneration comprises the following components:
-
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.
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 2018 to 30 June 2019) (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 2019, 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 2019).
Total maximum STI Award for FY19: $614,250
Two-thirds of maximum STI Award as STIP Rights: $409,500
Ingenia Communities Group
7
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 2019).
For example, if the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date was $3.10 and the Board determined that Mr Owen was entitled to the full twothirds of his STI Award, then 132,096 STIP Rights would be granted.
No amount is payable in return for the grant of the STIP Rights.
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 People, 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 of the LTIP Rights is aligned to all other participants in the LTIP, being 1 October 2018, but is subject to the approval of Securityholders. The issue date of the LTIP Rights will be a date on and from the date of this Meeting and within 12 months of the date of this Meeting, and is expected to be 13 November 2018 (subject to Securityholder approval).
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 1 October 2018.
Maximum LTIP Rights to be granted: $546,000 divided by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2018.
For example, if the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date was $3.10, then 176,129 rights would be granted.
No amount is payable in return for the grant of the LTIP Rights.
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 2018 to 30 September 2021).
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 average underlying Earnings per Security growth (EPS).
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. Performance will be measured relative to the ASX 200 A-REIT index total return over 3 years.

Rights Conversion Formula
Each vested STIP Right and LTIP Right (as relevant) entitles Mr Owen to receive one INA Security plus an additional number of INA Securities calculated on the basis of the distributions that would have been paid in respect of the INA Security during the relevant period being reinvested in accordance with the following Rights Conversion Formula:
==> picture [324 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
where:
-
E is the entitlement conversion factor;
-
[are the distributions paid on an INA Security over the Period (with n being the total number of ]
-
distributions paid over that Period);
-
[are the end-of-day prices on the date that the distributions are paid (i.e. immediate reinvestment of ]
-
distributions on the distribution date).
The total number of INA Securities that Mr Owen will receive upon vesting of the STIP Rights and/or the LTIP Rights will be the number of vested Rights converted multiplied by E, with the result rounded up to the nearest whole number.

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:
For Item 4:
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 2019).
For Item 5:
Maximum LTIP Rights to be granted: $546,000 divided by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2018.
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 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 2018 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 2019 in terms of both the deferred equity STI and LTI.
All directors, being Mr James Hazel, Mr Robert Morrison, Ms Amanda Heyworth, Mr Andrew McEvoy, 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
Thus, for example if the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date was $3.10, then 132,096 STIP Rights and 176,129 LTIP Rights totalling 308,225 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
-
205,665 LTIP Rights were issued to Mr Owen under the Rights Plan in November 2017, for zero acquisition price; and
-
98,673 STIP Rights were issued to Mr Owen under the Rights Plan in October 2017, for zero acquisition price.
It is anticipated that the following STIP Rights will be issued to Mr Owen under the Rights Plan in October 2018:
- $378,787 divided by the 30 day VWAP prior to the grant date (expected to be 1 October 2018), at zero acquisition price
The Rights will be issued 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.
