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 Security holders to ask questions about or make comments on the management of the Group.

ITEM 2 – Adoption of Remuneration Report
In accordance with section 300A of the Corporations Act the Company has published a Remuneration Report in the 2021 Annual Report.
As provided by section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company has included a resolution in this Notice for the consideration of Security holders, seeking adoption of the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2021. 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 reflect the person’s duties, responsibilities and that remuneration is competitive in attracting, retaining and motivating key talent necessary to achieve Ingenia’s strategic objectives and create long term value for Security holders. The Board is committed to ensuring that the Group’s remuneration policies and practices are fair, competitive and benchmarked to comparable roles, and that remuneration arrangements are communicated with clarity. The Board is also aware that executive KMP remuneration practices are continually evolving and therefore practices remain under constant review.
Remuneration outcomes were carefully considered in the context of the Group’s performance, strategy and alignment with industry peers and other Australian listed companies of similar size and complexity, whilst also considering the individual’s competence, level of experience and the potential impact of incentives. The Board has established a strong nexus between executive remuneration and Ingenia’s performance and its Security holder return which is core to the Group’s remuneration arrangements.
Directors’ Recommendation
The Board unanimously recommends that Security holders 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 whose remuneration details are disclosed in the Company’s 2021 Remuneration Report, 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 Company’s KMP.
What this means for Security holders: 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.

In accordance with Clause 73.2 of the Company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 14.4 any Director appointed to fill a casual vacancy or as an additional Director holds office until the next general meeting of Security holders and is then eligible for re-election.

ITEM 4 - Grant of FY22 Fixed Remuneration Rights, 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 allow him to participate in the Ingenia Communities Group Rights Plan (Rights Plan). The Board has proposed that for the year ending 30 June 2022, Mr Owen be eligible for Fixed Remuneration Rights, Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP) Rights and Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) Rights (together, FY22 Rights).
The intention of the Rights Plan is to align Security holder returns of Ingenia Communities Group with the compensation potentially payable to executivelevel employees and to reward executives who remain in employment and perform at the required levels of performance.
For the year ending 30 June 2022, Mr Owen’s remuneration comprises the following components:
-
fixed remuneration of $905,000 per annum, comprising $700,000 in cash inclusive of statutory superannuation and $205,000 in Fixed Remuneration Rights;
-
an at-risk short-term incentive of up to 80% 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 85% of fixed remuneration as a maximum, in Rights.
The above remuneration increase for Mr Owen, reflects:
-
A 23.1% increase in fixed remuneration comprising a zero increase in cash remuneration and a $170,000 increase in Fixed Remuneration Rights. This increase is to position Mr Owen’s remuneration by reference to a range of active Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), aged care and specialised services companies whilst also considering Mr Owen’s tenure, experience and responsibilities. Passive REITs which outsource property management are excluded from this benchmarking;
-
An increase in at-risk short-term incentive (from 78.2% to 80% of fixed remuneration as a maximum); and
-
A decrease in at-risk long-term incentive (from 91.2% to 85% of fixed remuneration as a maximum).
The Fixed Remuneration Rights and at-risk deferred portions 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.
Offer
If Item 4 is approved by Security holders, the Company will offer Mr Owen the FY22 Rights under a letter of offer, as outlined above.
Notice of Meetings 2021 Ingenia Communities Group

FY22 Fixed Remuneration Rights
Fixed Remuneration of executive KMP is reviewed annually, with any adjustments subject to Board approval. Any decisions to increase Fixed Remuneration take into account market levels of Fixed Remuneration and at-risk remuneration, as advised by an independent expert, and judgements as to the extent that an executive has demonstrated a sustained level of competence in the position, whether similar levels of experience and competence are available either internally or externally should the executive leave Ingenia, and any risk associated with potential executive turnover.
If an adjustment is approved by the Board, the delivery of all or part of any increase in Fixed Remuneration may, at the Board’s discretion, be in the form of an annual grant of Rights to INA Securities. The Board considers that delivery in Rights, instead of cash, further aligns the interests of the executive with Security holders.
In the case of the CEO and Managing Director, Simon Owen, any issue of securities under such an award is also subject to Security holder approval.
The maximum number of Fixed Remuneration Rights to be granted for FY22 will be calculated by dividing the rights component of the Fixed Remuneration by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 August 2021.
Fixed Remuneration Rights to be granted: $205,000 divided by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 August 2021.
The VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 August 2021 was $5.92, therefore 34,628 FY22 Fixed Remuneration Rights would be granted.
No amount is payable in respect of the grant of the FY22 Fixed Remuneration Rights.
Vesting of Fixed Remuneration Rights
Mr Owen’s Fixed Remuneration Rights form part of fixed remuneration and will vest, to the extent that the Service Conditions set out below are satisfied at the end of the Service Period (being the period from 1 July 2021 to 30 June 2022).
The following terms and conditions apply to Mr Owen’s Fixed Remuneration Rights:
-
The Fixed Remuneration Rights are subject to Ingenia’s ‘malus’ policy during the Service Period – this means that some or all of Mr Owen’s Fixed Remuneration Rights may be forfeited (and he will not receive INA Securities) if any of the circumstances set out in the Rights Plan occur such as fraud or dishonesty, a breach of obligations or material misstatement of Ingenia’s financial statements. In addition, the Board may exercise discretion in exceptional circumstances where there has been a material impact on reward and incentive outcomes, which may result in the forfeiture of some or all of the Rights. In making the discretion adjustments, the Board will take into account fairness for all stakeholders (investors, customers, employees, regulators and the community), and any breaches of reporting, audit, risk, compliance or regulatory obligations.
-
After the vesting date, and on exercise, 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.
-
Under the Plan rules, Fixed Remuneration Rights will continue to be held on cessation of employment, unless the Board determines otherwise. In the event of departure during the Service Period, the Board will exercise its discretion so that the maximum Fixed Remuneration Rights which vest reflect a pro-rata adjustment for time served.
In the event that Mr Owen’s Fixed Remuneration Rights are not approved by Security holders the Fixed Remuneration that would otherwise be delivered as Rights will be paid in cash, subject to the same Service Conditions as described above.
FY22 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 2021 to 30 June 2022) (FY22 STIP Award).
The FY22 STIP Award is comprised of two components:
-
One-third in cash (FY22 STIP Cash Award); and
-
Two-thirds in Rights to INA Securities (FY22 STIP Rights).
FY22 STIP Cash Award
It is intended that the FY22 STIP Cash Award will be paid post release of the 2022 financial results, provided that Mr Owen continues to qualify for the STI.
FY22 STIP Rights
The grant of FY22 STIP Rights to Mr Owen is subject to Security holder approval. The number of FY22 STIP Rights to be granted to Mr Owen will be determined by dividing two-thirds of the maximum FY22 STIP Award (determined following testing against the STIP Performance Conditions) by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date (expected to be on or about 1 October 2022).
Total maximum FY22 STI Award:
$724,000
Two-thirds of maximum FY22 STI Award as STIP Rights: $482,667
Ingenia Communities Group Notice of Meetings 2021

Notice of Meetings
Ingenia Communities Group
For example, if the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date was $6.30 and the Board determined that Mr Owen was entitled to the full two-thirds of his FY22 STI Award, then 76,614 FY22 STIP Rights would be granted.
No amount is payable in respect of the grant of the FY22 STIP Rights.
Vesting of FY22 STIP Rights
The following terms and conditions apply to the FY22 STIP Rights:
-
The FY22 STIP Rights are subject to a ‘malus’ policy during the deferral period – this means that some or all of the FY22 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 determining this, the Board will consider earnings growth outlook over a three year forward period); or
-
any of the circumstances set out in the rules of the Rights Plan occur such as fraud or dishonesty, a breach of obligations or material misstatement of Ingenia’s financial statements. In addition, the Board may exercise discretion in exceptional circumstances where there has been a material impact on reward and incentive outcomes, which may result in the forfeiture of some or all the Rights. In making the discretion adjustments, the Board will take into account fairness for all stakeholders (investors, customers, employees, regulators and the community), and any breaches of reporting, audit, risk, compliance or regulatory obligations.
-
The FY22 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.
-
After the vesting date, and on exercise, 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.
-
FY22 STIP Rights will not lapse on cessation of employment unless termination is for cause or the Board in its discretion determines otherwise, having regard for the facts and circumstances at the time of the cessation of employment.
In the event that Mr Owen’s FY22 STIP Rights are not approved by Security holders the STI Award that would otherwise have been delivered as Rights will be paid in cash, subject to the same STIP Performance Conditions as described in this Explanatory Notes.
FY22 STIP Performance Conditions
The FY22 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; Operational, Systems & Process; Capital Management & Transactions; and People, Culture and Health & Safety. Each assessment area is weighted to break down the award further. KPIs and their measures are related to the assessment areas.
FY22 LTIP Award
Grant of FY22 LTIP Rights
The grant of the FY22 LTIP Rights is subject to the approval of Security holders. The issue date of the FY22 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 11 November 2021 (subject to Security holder approval).
The maximum number of FY22 LTIP Rights to be granted will be calculated by dividing the FY22 LTIP Award opportunity (being a percentage of Mr Owen’s total fixed remuneration) by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2021.
Maximum FY22 LTIP Rights to be granted:
$769,250 divided by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2021.
The VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2021 was $6.5858, therefore 116,805 FY22 LTIP Rights would be granted.
No amount is payable in respect of the grant of the FY22 LTIP Rights.
Vesting of FY22 LTIP Rights
Mr Owen’s FY22 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 2021 to 30 September 2024).
The following terms and conditions apply to Mr Owen’s FY22 LTIP Rights:
- The FY22 LTIP Rights are subject to a ‘malus’ policy during the deferral period – this means that some or all of Mr Owen’s FY22 LTIP Rights may be forfeited (and he will not receive INA Securities) if any of the circumstances set out in the Rights Plan occur such as fraud or dishonesty, a breach of obligations or material misstatement of Ingenia’s financial statements. In addition, the Board may exercise discretion in exceptional circumstances where there has been a material impact on reward and incentive outcomes, which may result in the forfeiture of some or all of the Rights. In making the discretion adjustments, the Board will take into account fairness for all stakeholders (investors, customers, employees, regulators and the community), and any breaches of reporting, audit, risk, compliance or regulatory obligations.
Notice of Meetings 2021 Ingenia Communities Group

-
After vesting date, and on exercise, 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.
-
FY22 LTIP 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 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 during which Mr Owen was employed with the Company.
In the event that Mr Owen’s FY22 LTIP Rights are not approved by Security holders the LTI Award that would otherwise have been delivered as Rights will be paid in cash, subject to the same LTIP Performance Conditions as described in this Explanatory Notes.
FY22 LTIP Performance Conditions
The FY22 LTIP Rights offered are subject to the FY22 LTIP Performance Conditions:
-
i. One-quarter based on a relative Total Security holder Return (TSR);
-
ii. One-quarter based on a Return on Equity (ROE);
-
iii. One-quarter based on underlying Earnings per Security (EPS) growth; and
-
iv. One-quarter based on home settlements growth.
The Board reviewed the LTIP performance conditions and the following changes were made to the FY22 LTIP Performance Conditions:
-
The relative TSR method was changed to assess TSR percentile performance against the constituents of the S&P/ ASX 200 A-REIT Index rather than against the Index return. This change was made to reduce the likelihood of vesting outcomes being strongly influenced by larger companies who make up a significant weighting of the Index.
-
The EPS performance condition was excluded from the FY21 LTIP due to COVID-19 uncertainty. On review, it has been retained as a performance condition for the FY22 LTIP as the Board determined that underlying EPS growth was easily understood, provides an operating outcome focus, is aligned to security holders, commonly used by peers and supported by investors. However, the Board retains discretion to exclude the dilutive impact of acquisitions or capital raisings that are considered in the best interests of the company if these occur within the final 12 months of the performance period. Such discretion, if applied, will be disclosed.
-
Group settlements growth metric is added as an LTIP performance condition given it is a major driver for delivering sales revenue and the creation of new yielding rental contracts, which is a strategic focus for the Group.
Relative TSR Performance Condition
The relative TSR performance condition assesses INA’s percentile performance ranking against the constituents of the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index.
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 (being from 1 October 2021 to 30 September 2024). Performance will be measured relative to the TSR of companies comprising the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index over 3 years.
The FY22 LTIP Rights will vest on the following basis:

50% plus an additional amount progressively vesting on a straight-line basis between Threshold and Maximum |
| Maximum | At 75th Percentile or above | 100% |
ROE Performance Condition
ROE is defined as underlying profit (as disclosed in annual reports) divided by the weighted average net assets (excluding the impact of asset revaluations on net assets between the FY22 LTIP Rights issue date and the FY22 LTIP Rights vesting date). The Board has discretion to exclude the dilutive impact of acquisitions or capital raisings that are considered in the best interests of the company if these occur within the final 12 months of the performance period. Any discretion applied will be disclosed. The relevant metric is the underlying ROE achieved in FY24.

Notice of Meetings 2021 Ingenia Communities Group

The total number of INA Securities that Mr Owen will receive upon vesting and exercise of the Fixed Remuneration Rights, and/or FY22 STIP Rights and/or the FY22 LTIP Rights will be the number of vested and exercised Rights converted multiplied by E, with the result rounded up to the nearest whole number.
Security holder approval – ASX Listing Rules
ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires Security holder approval before a Director such as Mr Owen can acquire securities or rights to securities under an employee incentive scheme. Approval from Security holders 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 FY22 Rights to be 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 additional information to be disclosed in relation to the Rights to be granted to Mr Owen under the Rights Plan:
i. Number of Rights and Stapled Securities
The number of Rights that may be granted to Mr Owen within 12 months of this Meeting is the sum of the FY22 Fixed Remuneration Rights, maximum FY22 STIP Rights and FY22 LTIP Rights to be granted. The FY22 Fixed Remuneration Rights, maximum FY22 STIP and maximum FY22 LTIP Rights are calculated as follows:
Fixed Remuneration Rights to be granted: $205,000 divided by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 August 2021. Maximum FY22 STIP Rights to be granted: $482,667 divided by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date (expected to be 1 October 2022). Maximum LTIP Rights to be granted: $769,250 divided by the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2021.
The VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 August 2021 was $5.92, therefore 34,628 FY22 Fixed Remuneration Rights would be granted.
For example, if the VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date was $6.30 and the Board determined that Mr Owen was entitled to the full two-thirds of his FY22 STI Award, then 76,614 FY22 STIP Rights would be granted.
The VWAP of INA Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2021 was $6.5858, therefore 116,805 FY22 LTIP rights would be granted.
After the grant of Rights, the number of Stapled Securities that Mr Owen may receive from the end of the vesting period on the exercise date will be determined having regard to the satisfaction of the relevant Conditions and Rights Conversion Formula. The maximum period within which Rights can be exercised is 15 years from the date of grant. Rights cannot be exercised unless they have vested.
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, or upon exercise of the Rights is required by Mr Owen.
iii. Total number of securities issued to Mr Owen under the Rights Plan
Mr Owen has previously been issued with the following Rights under the Rights Plan:
==> picture [483 x 19] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
No. Granted No. Vested [1] Lapsed Unvested
----- End of picture text -----
| No. Granted | No. Vested1 | Lapsed | Unvested | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed Remuneration Rights | 7,778 | 7,778 | – | – |
| STIP Rights | 538,319 | 446,901 | – | 91,418 |
| LTIP Rights | 1,083,581 | 360,729 | 246,494 | 476,358 |
1 For each Right that has vested and been exercised, Mr Owen received one INA Security or cash settled.
Mr Owen has not paid any acquisition price to acquire these Rights, or the underlying INA Securities on vesting and exercise.
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.
Ingenia Communities Group Notice of Meetings 2021
12
Notice of Meetings
Ingenia Communities Group
Current participants in the Rights Plan are Mr Simon Owen (Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer), senior executives and other eligible employees as determined by the Remuneration and Nomination Committee from time to time. The granting of the Rights to senior executives and eligible employees other than Mr Owen did not require Security holder approval. The details of grants to Mr Owen and other KMP executives are provided in the Company’s Remuneration Report contained in the 2021 Annual Report.
The Board may agree that other nominated members of the executive management team may participate in the Rights Plan for the year ending 30 June 2022 in terms of deferred equity plans.
The Directors, being Mr Hazel, Mr Morrison, Ms Heyworth, Ms Downes, Mr Hayes, Ms Evans and Mr Owen, are those referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 who are currently entitled to participate in the Rights Plan. Mr Owen is the only person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 who currently participates in the Rights Plan. As nominees of Sun Communities neither Mr Shiffman nor Mr McLaren (Alternate Director) are remunerated by the Company, therefore they do not participate in the Rights Plan. The eligibility for Non-Executive Directors to participate is expected to be removed from the Rights Plan when it is next presented to investors for approval.
v. Material terms of the Rights Plan
The material terms of the Rights Plan have been previously disclosed to Security holders, most recently in the Notice of Meeting for the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting at which Security holders approved the issue of Rights under the Rights Plan for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13.
A summary of the key terms of the Rights Plan are outlined in Annexure A of this Explanatory Notes.
vi. Terms of any related loan
There is no loan provided in relation to the acquisition of the Rights by Mr Owen.
vii. Issue date of Rights
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.
viii. Required statement
Details of any securities issued under the Rights Plan will be published in the Group’s annual report relating to the period in which those securities were issued, along with a statement that approval for the issue was obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
Any additional persons covered by Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in an issue of securities under the Rights Plan after the resolution in Item 4 is passed and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate in the Rights Plan until approval is obtained under Listing Rule 10.14.
Voting exclusion
The Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of the resolution in Item 4 by or on behalf of any person referred to in Listing Rules 10.14.1, 10.14.2 or 10.14.3 (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 cast in favour of the resolution in Item 4 by:

a. a person as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with directions given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way; or
-
b. the Chairman as proxy or attorney for a person who is entitled to vote on the resolution, in accordance with a direction given to the Chairman to vote on the resolution as the Chairman decides; or
-
c. a Security holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided that the following conditions are met:
-
a. the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the Security holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting on the resolution; and
-
b. the Security holder votes on the resolution in accordance with the directions given by the beneficiary to the Security holder to vote in that way.
In addition, as required by the Corporations Act, no KMP of the Company or a Closely Related Party or Associate of such a KMP may vote as a proxy on the resolution in Item 4 unless:
-
a. the person votes as a proxy appointed by writing that specifies how the person is to vote on the proposed Item 4 (as applicable); or
-
b. the person is the Chairman and votes as a proxy appointed by writing that authorises the Chairman to vote on the resolution in Item 4 (as applicable) even though the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of KMP of the Company.
