Written questions relating to the Auditor’s Report and the conduct of the audit should be submitted no later than Friday 10 November 2023 being the fifth business day before the AGM.
The Chairman of the AGM will endeavour to address as many of the more frequently raised relevant questions and comments as possible during the course of the AGM. The Auditor will also be in attendance at the AGM.
HOW TO VOTE
A Security Holder who is entitled to vote at the AGM may do so:
-
in person;
-
by proxy;
-
by attorney; or
-
by corporate representative (if the Security Holder is a corporation).
Voting by proxy
A Security Holder who is entitled to participate in and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint not more than two proxies to participate and vote in place of the Security Holder. Security Holders can cast a vote or appoint a proxy online, prior to the AGM, at www.linkmarketservices.com.au (subject to the applicable voting and appointment deadlines) or by following the instructions on the Proxy Form which must be submitted no later than 11.30am (Sydney time) on Wednesday 15 November 2023 (Proxy Deadline).
If the Security Holder appoints two proxies, the Security Holder may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is entitled to exercise.

If the specified proportion or number of votes exceed that which the Security Holder is entitled to, each proxy may exercise half of the Security Holder’s votes. Any fractions of votes brought about by the apportionment of votes to a proxy will be disregarded.
A proxy need not be a Security Holder. A body corporate appointed as a Security Holder’s proxy may appoint a representative to exercise any of the powers the Security Holder may exercise as a proxy at the AGM. The representative should send to Link Market Services evidence of their appointment, including any authority under which the appointment is signed, unless it has previously been given to the Company.

Notice of Annual General Meeting

Ingenia Communities Group
of the Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2023. 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 each employee’s and officer’s duties and responsibilities and to be 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 against peer group benchmarks, the individual’s level of experience and performance, and in the context of the Group’s performance.
Voting Exclusion Statement
As required by the Corporations Act, the Company will disregard any votes cast in favour of the proposed Resolution in Item 2 by any member of the Company’s KMP whose remuneration details are disclosed in the Company’s 2023 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 AGM 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 AGM 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 4 – Approval to issue securities under Ingenia Communities Group Rights Plan
Background
Listing Rule 7.1 allows the Company to issue a maximum of 15% of its capital in any 12-month period without requiring Security Holder approval. Listing Rule 7.2 allows certain issues of securities to be excluded from the calculation of the number of securities issued in the 12-month period, including under Exception 13 where an issue is made under an employee incentive plan if, within three years before the date of issue, the terms of the plan are approved by Security Holders.
Security Holders last approved the issue of securities under the Ingenia Communities Group Rights Plan (Rights Plan) at the AGM held on 10 November 2020. Under the ASX Listing Rules, a refreshed approval by Security Holders is required every three years, or earlier if there is a material change to the terms of the Rights Plan from those set out in the notice of meeting under which approval was last sought and obtained.
In June 2023, the Board amended the rules of the Rights Plan, however the amendments are not considered material. The amendments are set out below and the Resolution in Item 4 accordingly proposes that Security Holders consider and approve the Rights Plan in accordance with Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13, which would enable securities issued under the Rights Plan over the next three years to be excluded from any calculation of securities for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.
The Rights Plan provides for the issue of Rights, which, upon a determination by the Board that the performance conditions attached to the Rights have been met, will result in a Stapled Security in the Group being issued or transferred to a Participant for each Right. Rights issued under the Rights Plan since the date of the last approval (10 November 2020), as at the date of this Notice of Meeting, in total are 2,636,854, which are categorised as follows:
| Long Term Incentive Plan Rights: | 1,574,847 |
|---|---|
| Short Term Incentive Plan Rights: | 217,515 |
| Fixed Remuneration Rights: | 171,614 |
| Talent Rights Gran t: | 672,878 |
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, there are a number of offers under the Rights Plan which have yet to be accepted by Participants. If all outstanding offers under the Rights Plan are accepted, an additional 1,291,418 Rights will be issued prior to the AGM, which are categorised as follows:
| Long Term Incentive Plan Rights: | 642,384 |
|---|---|
| Short Term Incentive Plan Rights: | 123,250 |
| Talent Rights Grant: | 525,784 |
At the 2020 AGM, a maximum of 2,200,000 Rights were approved for issue under the Rights Plan over a three-year period for the purposes of Exception 13 of Listing Rule 7.2. If all of the Rights contemplated above are issued prior to the AGM, the Company will have issued a total of 3,928,272 Rights and therefore exceed the 2,200,000 ceiling by 1,728,272 Rights.
Rights that have been (or will be) issued to Mr Owen in the three-year period preceding the AGM (which have been included in the calculations above) have been separately approved at the 2020, 2021 and 2022 AGMs for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14. Pursuant to Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 14, issues of securities made with the approval of security holders under Listing Rule 10.14 do not count towards the company’s 15% placement capacity. Mr Owen has been (or will be) issued a total of 826,143 Rights in the three-year period preceding the AGM.
Given the above, of the potential 1,728,272 Rights which will be above the 2,200,000 ceiling, only those that were not issued to Mr Owen (being 902,129 Rights) will count towards the Company’s 15% placement capacity.
Ingenia Communities Group Notice of Meetings 2023 7
Notice of Annual General Meeting
==> picture [104 x 77] intentionally omitted <==
Ingenia Communities Group
Since the date of the last approval (10 November 2020), all Rights which have vested and been exercised have been satisfied via the transfer of Stapled Securities to the relevant Participant. Ingenia has set up an employee share trust to hold Stapled Securities to enable it to satisfy the entitlement of a Participant to receive Stapled Securities on vesting and exercise of their Rights. The Stapled Securities held in the employee share trust are acquired on market by the trustee of the employee share trust, and upon exercise of Rights by a Participant, Stapled Securities are transferred to the relevant Participant from the employee share trust. That is, no Stapled Securities have been issued under the Rights Plan since the date of the last approval.
The maximum number of Rights proposed to be issued under the Rights Plan following Security Holder approval over the next three years is approximately 5 million Rights (some of which may vest and be exercisable into INA Securities during that time). This maximum is not intended to be a prediction of the actual number of Rights to be issued under the Rights Plan, but is specified for the purposes of setting a ceiling on the number of Rights approved to be issued under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13. If that number is reached, fresh Security Holder approval under Listing Rule 7.2, Exception 13 would be required, otherwise any additional issues of Rights under the Rights Plan over the maximum will count towards the calculation of the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
Rights issued under the Rights Plan do not have any voting rights attached and do not entitle the Participant to any distributions or dividends. However, Rights that were previously issued under the Rights Plan have been, and will continue to be, subject to a Rights Conversion Formula, pursuant to which the number of vested Rights that a Participant is entitled to at the time of vesting is adjusted based on the distributions that have been made during the relevant vesting period. The Rights Conversion Formula will not apply to any further issue of Rights under the Rights Plan.
Summary of the recent amendments
Prior to the amendments, the Rights Plan permitted the issuance of Rights to Non-Executive Directors. It was never the intention of the Board to issue Rights to Non-Executive Directors and as previously indicated in the Remuneration Report, this was to be removed the next time the Rights Plan is included for approval by Security Holders. To that end, the Rights Plan has now been amended to remove the potential for any Rights to be issued to Non-Executive Directors.
For clarification purposes, a new clause was introduced to note that, where vested Rights are exercised and Cash Settled, the cash amount will be inclusive of any employer superannuation contributions that is required by law.
In addition, a new clause was inserted to provide that the Board may, in its discretion, adjust any performance related conditions that must be satisfied in order for a Right to vest to ensure that the participants in the Rights Plan are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by matters outside of management’s control that affect the conditions. This clause seeks to maintain a neutral position and any consideration by the Board to exercise discretion would be undertaken under the discretion framework, which is outlined in the Remuneration Report.
Other changes relate to the introduction of references to the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Group’s Privacy Policy, as well as the ASX Listing Rules and the Group’s Securities Trading Policy.
Summary of the terms of the Ingenia Communities Group Rights Plan, including recent amendments A summary of the terms of the Rights Plan is outlined below. Capitalised terms in this section refer to definitions in the Rights Plan rules.
The object of the Rights Plan is to:
-
a. align the interests of Eligible Employees with those of Security Holders;
-
b. provide incentives to attract, retain and/or motivate Eligible Employees in the interests of Ingenia; and
-
c. provide Eligible Employees with the opportunity to acquire Rights, and ultimately Ingenia Securities, in accordance with the rules of the Rights Plan and the terms of any offer, grant or invitation to an Eligible Employee.
Grant of Rights: The Board has discretion to grant Rights to Eligible Employees on the terms of the Rights Plan and such additional terms and conditions that the Board determines. Unless the Board determines otherwise, no payment is required for the grant of Rights under the Rights Plan.
Eligible Employee means an employee of the Group, or another person determined by the Board as eligible to participate in the Plan.
Eligible Employee extends to the CEO, who is an employee of the Group and also an executive Director. Non-Executive Directors are not eligible to participate in the Rights Plan. In accordance with the Listing Rules, prior Security Holder approval will be required before a Director or related party of the Group can participate in the Rights Plan and be granted Rights.
Information to be provided: The Board will advise each Eligible Employee of the following minimum information regarding Rights at the time of a grant or offer:
-
a. the number or maximum value of Rights being offered, or the method for determining the number or maximum value;
-
b. any applicable Conditions and the applicable Period;
-
c. the time or times at which Rights may vest;
-
d. any amount that will be payable upon vesting of a Right (if applicable);
-
e. the period or periods during which Rights may be exercised and the manner of exercise of the Rights (if applicable);
-
f. the date, time and circumstances when Rights lapse; and
-
g. any other relevant terms and conditions attaching to the Rights or INA Securities held under the Rights Plan (including, for example, any restrictions on transfer of the INA Securities).
Title to Rights: Unless the Board determines otherwise, a Right may only be registered in the name of a Participant. A Right granted under, and subject to, the Rules is only transferable with the consent of the Board or by a court of law. Where a Participant purports to transfer a Right other than in accordance with the rules the Right immediately lapses.

Prohibition against hedging: A Participant in the Rights Plan must not enter into any scheme, arrangement or agreement (including options and derivative products) under which the economic benefit to be derived from Rights that remain subject to the Rules are affected, otherwise the Rights will immediately lapse.
Vesting and lapse of Rights: Subject to Board discretion (including on cessation of employment), fraud or dishonesty, re-organisation and divestment, change of control and Board powers, a Right granted under the Rights Plan will not vest unless the conditions advised to the Participant have been satisfied. The Board may, in its discretion, determine that a Right vests prior to the date specified by the Board. The Board may, in its discretion, adjust any performance related Conditions to ensure that Participants are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged by matters outside management’s control that affect the Conditions.
Subject to the Board’s overriding discretion, an unvested Right granted to a Participant will lapse upon the earliest to occur of:
-
a. the date specified by the Board;
-
b. an event relating to title of the rights, cessation of employment (if determined by the Board in its discretion), fraud or dishonesty, re-organisation and divestments or change of control;
-
c. failure to meet the conditions by the end of the Period; or
-
d. the fifteenth anniversary of the date the Right was granted,
Satisfaction of vested Rights: The Board will from time to time determine whether INA will, with respect to each Right that is exercised:
-
a. issue or procure the transfer to:
-
i. the Participant (or their personal representative); or
-
ii. a Trustee who is to hold INA Securities on behalf of the Participant,
Listing on ASX: INA will apply for quotation of INA Securities issued under the Rights Plan within the period required by ASX.
Transfer restrictions: Participants must at all times comply with the Group’s Securities Trading Policy and any other policy that deals with the transfer or trading of INA Securities that apply from time to time. The Board may, in its discretion, impose any trading or other restrictions in respect of INA Securities issued or transferred on the vesting of Rights. The Board must provide a Participant with details of any such restrictions at the time of a grant or offer. The Board may implement any procedure it considers appropriate to restrict a Participant from trading in INA Securities while they remain subject to the Rules including, without limitation, imposing a holding lock on the INA Securities or arranging for the INA Securities to be held on trust.
Cessation of employment: Where a Participant holding unvested Rights ceases to be an employee of the Group, the Participant may continue to hold those unvested Rights unless or until the Board exercises a discretion to determine that some or all of those Rights:
-
a. lapse;
-
b. are forfeited;
-
c. vest (immediately or subject to conditions);
-
d. are only exercisable for a specified period, and will otherwise lapse; or
-
e. are no longer subject to some of the restrictions (including vesting Conditions) that previously applied.
Forfeiture of INA Securities allocated on vesting of Rights: The Board may, at its discretion, determine that a Participant will forfeit their interest in any vested Rights that have not been exercised and in any INA Securities that are allocated to the Participant on exercise of vested Rights that are subject to an additional holding restriction if, during such restriction period, the Participant:
- a. is dismissed for cause; or
of the number of INA Securities (including fractions of an INA Security) to which the Participant is entitled in respect of each Right as outlined in the terms of a grant or offer which may include a formula for calculating the relevant number of INA Securities (Equity Settled); or
- b. pay a cash amount equivalent to the Market Price (Market Price being an amount equal to the volume weighted average price INA Securities traded on the ASX over the 5 trading days immediately preceding the relevant date) of an INA Security on the vesting date multiplied by the number of INA Securities that would otherwise have been allocated on exercise of the Rights (Cash Settled). Where the vested Rights that are exercised are Cash Settled, the cash amount will be inclusive of any employer superannuation contributions as required by law.
Ranking of INA Securities: All INA Securities issued under the Rights Plan will rank equally in all respects with other INA Securities on issue, except with regard to any rights attaching to such other INA Securities by reference to a record date prior to the date of allocation of those INA Securities.
- b. is terminated in circumstances that, in the opinion of the Board, involve a failure by the Participant to meet acceptable performance requirements in connection with their employment.
For the purposes of the Rights Plan, a Participant will only be treated as ceasing employment when the Participant is no longer an employee of the Group.
Capital reorganisation: If:
-
a. INA Securities are issued pro rata to INA’s Security Holders generally by way of a bonus issue;
-
b. INA Securities are offered to INA’s Security Holders by way of a rights issue; or
-
c. any reorganisation (including a consolidation, subdivision, reduction or return) of the issued capital of INA is effected, then and subject to the Listing Rules:
the number of Rights to which each Participant is entitled will be adjusted in the manner determined by the Board to minimise or eliminate any material advantage or disadvantage to the Participant and in accordance with the Listing Rules. Any new Rights granted will, unless the Board determines otherwise, be subject to the same terms and conditions as the original Rights.

-
b. some or all of the unvested Rights remain subject to the applicable Conditions (or substitute Conditions),
having regard to any matter the Board considers relevant, including, without limitation, the circumstances of the Event, the extent to which the applicable Conditions have been satisfied and/or the proportion of the Period that has elapsed at that time.

Acquisition of securities in another company: If a
company (the Acquiring Company) obtains control of INA, and INA and the Acquiring Company and the Participant agree, then a Participant may be provided with securities in the Acquiring Company (or its parent or subsidiary) in substitution for Rights, on substantially the same terms and conditions as the Rights, but with appropriate adjustments to the number and kind of securities the subject of the Rights.
Amendment of the Rules: The Board may at any time, amend, add to, vary, omit from or substitute any of the Rules, provided that any such amendment may not materially reduce or otherwise prejudicially affect the rights attaching to the Rights granted or the INA Securities issued or transferred (as applicable) pursuant to, and still subject to, the Rights Plan, other than an amendment introduced primarily:
-
a. for the purpose of complying with or conforming to present or future State or Commonwealth legislation;
-
b. to correct any manifest error or mistake; or
-
c. to take into consideration possible adverse tax implications for Ingenia or the Participant arising from, amongst other things, adverse rulings from the Commissioner of Taxation, changes to tax legislation (including an official announcement by the Commonwealth of Australia) and/or changes in the interpretation of tax legislation by a court or tribunal of competent jurisdiction.

ITEM 5 – Remuneration and incentives for Mr Simon Owen (CEO)
Under his employment contract as the Group’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Mr Owen is entitled to salary, statutory superannuation contributions and to participate in the Rights Plan.
As noted in the summary of the Rights Plan terms, under Item 4, the purpose of the Rights Plan is to align Security Holder returns with the remuneration potentially payable to the Group’s executive-level employees and to reward executives who remain in employment and meet performance expectations.
The Board has proposed for the financial year ending 30 June 2024 (FY24), Mr Owen’s remuneration will include the following components under the Rights Plan: Fixed Remuneration Rights; Short-Term Incentive Plan (STIP) Rights; and Long-Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) Rights, (together, FY24 Rights).
Listing Rule (LR) 10.14 provides that a listed entity must not permit the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme without the approval of the holders of its ordinary securities:
-
LR 10.14.1: a director of the entity (in the case of a trust, a director of the responsible entity of the trust);
-
LR 10.14.2: an associate of a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1; or
-
LR 10.14.3: a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in the ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by security holders.
The components of Mr Owen’s total remuneration package for FY24 are:
-
fixed remuneration of $1,100,000 per annum, comprised of $860,000 in cash (inclusive of statutory superannuation contributions) and $240,000 in Fixed Remuneration Rights;
-
at-risk STIP Award valued at up to 100% of his 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
-
at-risk LTIP Award valued at up to 100% of his fixed remuneration (as a maximum).
-
Compared to his remuneration for FY23, the above FY24 remuneration for Mr Owen reflects:
-
An increase of 10% in his fixed remuneration. This increase was determined after benchmarking Mr Owen’s remuneration against a peer group comprised of similarly sized publicly listed companies from within the Real Estate sector with companies managing and developing multilocation facilities in Entertainment, Healthcare (retirement and aged care focus) and Education. While the peer group is predominantly comprised of companies from the real estate sector, also included are companies operating across other sectors which are aligned with Ingenia’s business verticals. Consideration was also given to Mr Owen’s tenure, experience, and responsibilities. The remuneration of chief executive officers for passive REITs which outsource property management were excluded from the benchmark;
-
Increasing the percentage level of STIP Award (from 95% to 100% of his fixed remuneration as a maximum); and
-
– Increasing the percentage level of LTIP Award (from 85% to 100% of his fixed remuneration as a maximum).
The Fixed Remuneration Rights, at-risk deferred portions of the STIP Rights and the at-risk LTIP Rights 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 Resolution 5 is approved by Security Holders, the Company will offer Mr Owen the FY24 Rights under a letter of offer, as outlined above.
FY24 Fixed Remuneration Rights
As Mr Owen is a Director of the Company and the Responsible Entity, the proposed issue of FY24 Rights falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 and requires the approval of the Security Holders under Listing Rule 10.14.
Accordingly, Resolution 5 seeks the required Security Holder approval to the issue of Rights to Mr Owen under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.
If Resolution 5 is passed, the Group will be able to proceed with the issue of the FY24 Rights to Mr Owen.
If Resolution 5 is not passed the FY24 Rights that would otherwise be delivered to Mr Owen as part of his remuneration will be paid in cash, subject to the same conditions that apply to each component of the FY24 Rights.
Generally, the 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 the Group’s employment) 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 Stapled Securities. The Board considers that delivery in Rights, instead of cash, further aligns the interests of the executive with Security Holders.

Notice of Annual General Meeting

Ingenia Communities Group
In the case of the CEO and Managing Director, Mr Simon Owen, any issue of Rights and Stapled Securities pursuant to any Rights is also subject to Security Holder approval, which is being sought as Item 5 of business at the AGM.
The maximum number of Fixed Remuneration Rights to be granted for FY24 will be calculated by dividing the Rights component of the Fixed Remuneration by the VWAP of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2023.
Fixed Remuneration $240,000 divided by the VWAP Rights to be granted: of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2023.
The VWAP of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2023 was $4.2195, therefore 56,879 FY24 Fixed Remuneration Rights would be granted if the Resolution 5 is passed.
No amount of cash is payable by Mr Owen in respect of the grant of the FY24 Fixed Remuneration Rights.
FY24 STIP Award
The amount of the short-term incentives 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 FY24) (FY24 STIP Award).
The FY24 STIP Award is subject to the STIP Performance Conditions or Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). In each case, the KPIs are set with ‘below target’, ‘within target range’ and ‘above target’ performance levels (with entitlements calculated on a pro-rata basis between these levels). The KPIs are broken into four broad assessment areas: Financial, People, Customer and Strategic. Each assessment area is weighted to break down the award further. KPIs and their measures are related to the assessment areas. There is also a performance consideration for safety, risk management and sustainability outcomes of the Group.
The FY24 STIP Award is comprised of two components:
Vesting of Fixed Remuneration Rights
If approved, Mr Owen’s Fixed Remuneration Rights will form part of his 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 FY24).
-
One-third in cash (FY24 STIP Cash Award); and
-
Two-thirds in Rights to Stapled Securities (FY24 STIP Rights).
FY24 STIP Cash Award
The following terms and conditions (Service Conditions) apply to Mr Owen’s Fixed Remuneration Rights:
-
The Fixed Remuneration Rights are subject to the Group’s “Malus” Conditions 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 Stapled Securities) if any of the “Malus” Conditions occur. The “Malus” Conditions are specified in the Rights Plan, and include fraud or dishonesty, a serious breach of obligations or a material misstatement of the Group’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) to forfeit some or all of his Rights. In making any discretionary adjustment, 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.
-
No amount of cash is payable by Mr Owen in return for the issue or transfer of Stapled Securities.
-
Under the Rights 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.
It is intended that the FY24 STIP Cash Award will be paid after the release of the Group’s FY24 financial results, if Mr Owen continues to qualify for the STI.
FY24 STIP Rights
The grant of FY24 STIP Rights to Mr Owen is subject to Security Holder approval. The number of FY24 STIP Rights to be granted to Mr Owen will be determined by calculating two-thirds of the maximum FY24 STIP Award (determined following testing against the STIP Performance Conditions) divided by the VWAP of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date (expected to be on or about 1 October 2024) (this is subject to Security Holder approval at the 2023 AGM).
Total maximum FY24 STI Award: $1,100,000 Two-thirds of maximum FY24 STI FY24 Award as STIP Rights: $733,333
For example, if the VWAP of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date was $4.2195 and the Board determined that Mr Owen was entitled to the full two-thirds of his FY24 STI Award, then 173,797 FY24 STIP Rights would be granted.
No amount of cash is payable by Mr Owen in respect of the grant of the FY24 STIP Rights.

Vesting of FY24 STIP Rights
The following terms and conditions apply to the FY24 STIP Rights:
-
The FY24 STIP Rights are subject to the “Malus” Conditions during the deferral period – this means that some or all of the FY24 STIP Rights may lapse (and Mr Owen will not receive Stapled Securities) if the “Malus” Conditions described above occur.
-
The FY24 STIP Rights may lapse if the Board forms the view that the Group’s earnings growth is not sustainable (in determining this, the Board will consider earnings growth outlook over a three year forward period).
-
The FY24 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.
-
No amount is payable in return for the issue or transfer of Stapled Securities.
-
FY24 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.
The following terms and conditions (Performance Conditions) apply to Mr Owen’s FY24 LTIP Rights:
-
The FY24 LTIP Rights are subject to the “Malus” Conditions described above in relation to the Fixed Remuneration – this means that some or all of Mr Owen’s FY24 LTIP Rights may be forfeited (and he will not receive Stapled Securities) if any of the “Malus” Conditions occur.
-
No amount of cash is payable by Mr Owen in return for the issue or transfer of Stapled Securities.
-
FY24 LTIP Rights will not lapse on cessation of employment and will remain on foot 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 FY24 LTIP Rights are not approved by Security Holders the FY24 LTI Award that would otherwise have been delivered as Rights will be paid in cash, subject to the same Service Conditions as described above.
FY24 LTIP Award
Grant of FY24 LTIP Rights
The grant of the FY24 LTIP Rights is subject to the approval of Security Holders. The issue date of the FY24 LTIP Rights will be a date on and from the date of this AGM and within 12 months of the date of this AGM and is expected to be 17 November 2023 (subject to Security Holder approval).
The maximum number of FY24 LTIP Rights to be granted will be calculated by dividing the FY24 LTIP Award opportunity (being 100% of Mr Owen’s total fixed remuneration) by the VWAP of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2023 (FY24 LTIP Rights).
Maximum FY24 LTIP $1,100,000 divided by the VWAP of Rights to be granted: Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2023.
The VWAP of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2023 was $4.2195, therefore 260,695 FY24 LTIP Rights would be granted.
No amount of cash is payable by Mr Owen in respect of the grant of the FY24 LTIP Rights.
Vesting of FY24 LTIP Rights
Mr Owen’s FY24 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 2023 to 30 September 2026).
FY24 LTIP Performance Conditions
The performance conditions for the FY24 LTIP Rights are unchanged from the prior year. The FY24 LTIP Rights offered are subject to the FY24 LTIP Performance Conditions:
-
i. 25% based on a relative Total Security Holder Return (TSR);
-
ii. 25% based on a Return on Equity (ROE);
-
iii. 25% based on underlying Earnings per Stapled Security (EPS) growth; and
-
iv. 25% based on home settlements growth.
Relative TSR Performance Condition
The relative TSR performance condition assesses the Group’s percentile performance ranking against the constituents of the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index.
TSR is the growth in the price of Stapled Securities plus distributions, assuming distributions are reinvested. To minimise the impact of any short-term volatility, the Group’s TSR will be calculated using the volume-weighted average of the closing Stapled 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 TSR of entities comprising the S&P/ASX 200 A-REIT Index over 3 years.

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 AGM, with any FY24 Rights to be issued within 12 months after the date of this AGM.
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 AGM is the sum of the FY24 Fixed Remuneration Rights, maximum FY24 STIP Rights and FY24 LTIP Rights to be granted. The FY24 Fixed Remuneration Rights, maximum FY24 STIP Rights and FY24 LTIP Rights are calculated as follows:
Fixed Remuneration Rights to be granted: $240,000 divided by the VWAP of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2023. Maximum FY24 STIP Rights* to be granted: $733,333 divided by the VWAP of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date (expected to be 1 October 2024). Maximum LTIP Rights to be granted: $1,100,000 divided by the VWAP of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2023.
- In addition, the FY24 STIP Award also includes the FY24 STIP Cash Award being a cash component of up to a maximum of $366,667.
The VWAP of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2023 was $4.2195, therefore 56,879 FY24 Fixed Remuneration Rights would be granted.
For example, if the VWAP of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to the grant date (which is expected to be 1 October 2024) was $4.2195 and the Board determined that Mr Owen was entitled to the full two-thirds of his FY24 STI Award, then 173,797 FY24 STIP Rights would be granted.
The VWAP of Stapled Securities for the 30 days prior to 1 October 2023 was $4.2195, therefore 260,695 FY24 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. 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.
On vesting of the Rights, the Board retains discretion to decide on or around the vesting day whether entitlements to Stapled Securities will be equity settled or cash settled.
ii. Price for each Right (and the price for each Stapled Security that vests)
No payment for the issue, vesting or exercise of the Rights is required to be made by Mr Owen.
iii. Total number of Stapled Securities that have previously been issued to Mr Owen under the Rights Plan
Mr Owen has previously been issued with the following Rights under the Rights Plan:
| No. Granted1 | Lapsed | Unvested | No. Vested2 | Exercised | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed Remuneration Rights | 100,015 | – | – | 100,015 | – |
| STIP Rights | 678,1013 | – | – | 678,101 | 358,605 |
| LTIP Rights | 1,424,450 | 507,126 | 323,755 | 593,569 | 200,000 |
1 Rights previously issued to Mr Owen under the Rights Plan are subject to a Rights Conversion Formula, pursuant to which the number of Rights at vesting is adjusted. The number of Rights issued to Mr Owen is accordingly subject to adjustment in accordance with the Rights Conversion Formula.
2 For each Right that has vested and been exercised, Mr Owen received one Stapled Security or was cash settled.
3 This excludes the number of FY23 STIP Rights that may be issued to Mr Owen prior to the date of the AGM (previously approved at the 2022 AGM), being 96,588.
Mr Owen has not paid any acquisition price to acquire these Rights, or the underlying Stapled Securities on vesting and exercise.
