Notes to Notice of Annual General Meeting

Technical difficulties during virtual AGM

Technical difficulties may arise during the course of the AGM. The Chairman has discretion as to whether and how the meeting should proceed in the event that a technical difficulty arises. In exercising his discretion, the Chairman will have regard to the number of shareholders impacted and the extent to which participation in the business of the meeting is affected. Where he considers it appropriate, the Chairman may continue to hold the meeting and transact business, including conducting a poll and voting in accordance with valid proxy instructions. For this reason, shareholders are encouraged to lodge a proxy for receipt by 10.00am (Sydney time) Tuesday, 3 November 2020 even if they plan to attend the meeting online.

Notes relating to voting

1. Entitlement to vote

In accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Board has determined that persons who are registered holders of shares in the Company as at 7.00pm (Sydney time) on Tuesday, 3 November 2020 will be entitled to attend and vote at the meeting as a shareholder. Share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the meeting.

If more than one joint holder of shares is present at the meeting (whether personally, by proxy or by attorney or by representative) and tenders a vote, only the vote of the joint holder whose name appears first on the register will be counted.

The vote on each resolution will be decided on a poll, and each shareholder present in person or by proxy shall have one vote for every fully paid ordinary share held (subject to the restrictions on voting referred to below).

2. Voting exclusions

Item 5

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Item 5:

  • by or on behalf of a member of the Company’s KMP named in the Company’s Remuneration Report for the year ended 27 June 2020 or their closely related parties, regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast; or

  • as a proxy by a person who is a member of the Company’s KMP at the date of the meeting or their closely related parties,

unless the vote is cast as proxy for a person entitled to vote on Item 5:

  • in accordance with a direction given to the proxy to vote on the resolution in that way; or

  • by the Chairman of the meeting pursuant to an express authorisation to exercise the proxy even though the resolution is connected with the remuneration of KMP.

The Company will disregard any votes cast on Items 6 or 7:

  • in favour of the resolution by or on behalf of Mr Leighton or any of his associates, regardless of the capacity in which the vote is cast; or

  • as proxy or attorney for a person entitled to vote on the resolution in accordance with a direction given to the proxy or attorney to vote on the resolution in that way;

  • as proxy for a person entitled to vote on the resolution by the Chairman of the meeting pursuant to an express authorisation to vote as the proxy decides; or

  • by a holder acting solely in a nominee, trustee, custodial or other fiduciary capacity on behalf of a beneficiary provided the following conditions are met:

  • the beneficiary provides written confirmation to the holder that the beneficiary is not excluded from voting, and is not an associate of a person excluded from voting, on the resolution; and

  • o the holder votes on the resolution in accordance with directions given by the beneficiary to the holder to vote in that way.

3. Proxies

A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the meeting has a right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf. A proxy need not be a shareholder and can be either an individual or a body corporate.

  • a. A shareholder can appoint a proxy online at www.linkmarketservices.com.au or by requesting a proxy form from the Company’s registry (see section 4 of these notes relating to voting).

  • b. A shareholder that is entitled to cast 2 or more votes may appoint 2 proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no proportion or number is specified, each proxy may exercise half of the shareholder’s votes.

  • c. If a shareholder appoints a body corporate as a proxy, that body corporate will need to ensure that it:

  • appoints an individual as its corporate representative to exercise its powers at the Meeting, in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act; and

  • provides satisfactory evidence of the appointment of its corporate representative prior to commencement of the meeting.

  • d. If you wish to indicate how your proxy should vote, please mark the appropriate boxes on the proxy appointment. If you do not direct your proxy how to vote on a particular item of business, you are authorising your proxy to vote as they decide, subject to any applicable voting exclusions.

  • e. Unless the Chairman of the meeting is your proxy, members of the Company’s KMP (which includes each of the Directors) will not be able to vote as proxy on Items 5, 6, or 7, unless you direct them how to vote. If you intend to appoint a member of the KMP (such as one of the Directors) as your proxy, you should ensure that you direct that person how to vote on Items 5, 6, or 7.

  • f. If you intend to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy, you can direct the Chairman how to vote by marking the boxes for the relevant resolution (for example, if you wish to vote “for”, “against” or to “abstain” from voting). However, if you appoint the Chairman of the meeting as your proxy, or they become your proxy by default, and you do not mark a box next to Items 5, 6, or 7, then by submitting the proxy appointment, you will be expressly authorising the Chairman to vote as they see fit in respect of Items 5, 6, and 7 even though these Items are connected with the remuneration of the Company’s KMP.

  • g. If:

  • a poll is duly demanded at the meeting in relation to a proposed resolution;

  • a shareholder has appointed a proxy (other than the Chairman of the meeting) and the appointment of the proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and

  • that shareholder’s proxy is either not recorded as attending the meeting or does not vote in accordance with the shareholder’s direction on the resolution,

the Chairman of the meeting will, before voting on the resolution closes, be taken to have been appointed as the proxy for the shareholder for the purposes of voting on that resolution and must vote in accordance with the written direction of that shareholder.

  • h. Please note that the Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of each resolution.

6. and 7. Approval of FY20 TIP and FY21 LTIP grants of performance rights to the Managing Director & CEO

At the Company’s 2019 AGM, shareholders were asked to approve a proposed grant of performance rights to Mr Jim Leighton, Managing Director and CEO (“ CEO ”), under Ingham’s annual LTIP. However, following the AGM but prior to the proposed grant being made, market conditions substantially changed and it became apparent that the current formulation of Ingham’s LTIP was no longer going to drive the achievement and delivery of the Company’s strategy that was anticipated at the time it was developed. Accordingly, the Board determined not to grant the FY20 LTIP award to the CEO and to instead develop an alternative form of incentive for FY20 to be provided in its place.

Development of TIP as an alternative interim measure for FY20 and new LTIP for FY21

During FY20, the Board undertook a comprehensive review of the historical long-term incentive arrangements, with a view to more closely linking executives’ long-term incentives to the critical strategic objectives of the business. The importance of this review was also reinforced by the COVID-19 pandemic and the clear need for achievement of a range of strategic projects over the near and medium term to ensure the sustainable performance of the business long term.

The outcome of the Board’s review has been the development of the Company’s transformational incentive plan (the TIP) on an alternative, interim basis to replace the long-term incentive plan for FY20, as well as the development of a new ‘go-forward’ annual long term incentive plan (the LTIP) for FY21 and future years.

Items 6 and 7 relate to, respectively:

  • the FY20 TIP grant of performance rights to the Managing Director & CEO (recognising that the award previously approved by shareholders at the 2019 AGM was not provided to Mr Leighton); and

  • the FY21 LTIP grant of performance rights to the Managing Director & CEO for the current financial year.

2

Proposed grants of performance rights

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the Company is seeking shareholder approval for the grant of performance rights to Mr Jim Leighton, Managing Director and CEO (“ CEO ”), as his FY20 TIP award and FY21 LTIP award.

Under Listing Rule 10.14, a grant of securities to a director or associate of a director requires shareholder approval. Given Mr Leighton is a Director of the Company, shareholder approval is being sought at this meeting as follows:

  • Item 6 relates to the grant of 703,868 performance rights to Mr Leighton as his FY20 TIP award (“ FY20 TIP ”); and

  • Item 7 relates to the grant of 901,882 performance rights to Mr Leighton as his FY21 LTIP award (“ FY21 LTIP ”).

The FY20 TIP and FY21 LTIP are designed to align the interests of the CEO with the interests of shareholders by providing the opportunity to receive an equity interest in the Company through the granting of performance rights.

Each performance right granted under the FY20 TIP and FY21 LTIP will entitle the CEO to receive one fully paid ordinary share in the Company, subject to meeting the performance conditions outlined below. Performance rights are used as instruments by the Company because they create alignment between the interests of the CEO and shareholders but do not provide him with the full benefits of share ownership (such as dividend and voting rights) unless and until the performance rights vest.

Subject to receiving shareholder approval at the meeting, the performance rights will be granted to the CEO under the Company’s Equity Incentive Plan (“ Plan ”) within 12 months of the meeting. If shareholder approval is not obtained, the Board will consider alternative arrangements to appropriately remunerate and incentivise Mr Leighton.

As the performance rights will form part of the CEO’s remuneration, they will be granted at no cost and there will be no amount payable on vesting. The Board retains a discretion to make a cash payment to participants on vesting of the performance rights in lieu of an allocation of shares.

Key terms of the FY20 TIP award (Item 6)

The key terms of the proposed awards are as follows:

Quantum of
award
703,868 performance rights, representing a TIP award with a face value of
$2,250,000 (being 150% of the CEO’s TFR for the relevant financial year).
The number of performance rights to be granted under the FY20 TIP has
been calculated by dividing the face value opportunity by $3.19662, being the
volume weighted average price of Ingham’s shares traded on the ASX in the
10 trading days after 27 August 2019 (i.e. the announcement of Ingham’s
FY19 annual results). The actual value that the CEO will receive (if any) will
depend on whether the performance conditions are achieved.
Performance
period
3 years, commencing on 30 June 2019 and ending on or about 25 June 2022.
Performance
testing
Performance rights will vest at the end of the relevant performance period,
subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions.
Performance will not be re-tested if the performance conditions are not
satisfied at the end of the relevant performance period. Any performance
rights that remain unvested at the end of the relevant performance period will
lapse immediately.

3

Performance
conditions
Before any of the FY20 TIP performance rights are able to vest, two
gateways must be achieved:
Tenure
CEO is actively employed for the entire performance
period up to and including vesting.
Individual Performance
Individual Performance overall rating at “meets
expectations” or above for the entire performance period.
If the gateways are met, the FY20 TIP performance rights will vest subject
to the satisfaction of Strategic Objectives and Market Objectives as follows:
Objective
Type
Component Description
Component
Weighting
Strategic
Objectives
(50% of
award)
Culture:The Culture element assesses progress against a
baseline measurement, using the Human Synergistics
Organisational Culture Inventory tool. This element is
weighted at 15% of performance rights for Target
achievement (10% at Threshold; 20% at Stretch
achievement; with any outcome below Threshold at nil).
15%
Cost:The Cost element assesses progress in reducing
operational costs by measuring our improvement in net
margin before selling and general administration costs. This
element is weighted at 20% of performance rights for Target
achievement (15% at Threshold; 25% at Stretch
achievement; with any outcome below Threshold at nil).
20%
Consumer:The Consumer element assesses our progress
in building brand awareness, through measuring increases in
revenue from branded products. This element is weighted at
15% of performance rights for Target achievement (10% at
Threshold; 20% at Stretch achievement; with any outcome
below Threshold at nil).
15%
Market
Objectives
(50% of
award)
Cumulative EBITDA:The Cumulative EBITDA element
assesses achievement against targets for underlying EBITDA
over 3 years. This element is weighted at 25% of
performance rights for Target achievement (20% at
Threshold; 30% at Stretch achievement; with any outcome
below Threshold at nil).
25%
Total Shareholder Return:The TSR element assesses
achievement against targets for absolute TSR over 3 years.
This element is weighted at 25% of performance rights for
Target achievement (20% at Threshold; 30% at Stretch
achievement; with any outcome below Threshold at nil).
25%
The plan has straight line vesting between Threshold and Maximum, and
while individual components are capable of stretch performance, the overall
maximum possible level of vesting is 100% of the award.
Because the targets for the Strategic Objectives and Market Objectives for
the FY20 TIP relate to the near, medium and long term strategic business
objectives of the Company, they are considered by the Board to be
commercially sensitive in the highly competitive markets in which the
company operates, where none of the Company’s competitors are listed
companies and so do not disclose similar targets to the market. The Board
does not believe it is appropriate to disclose those targets. Instead, the
Company will disclose the relevant targets retrospectively in Ingham’s
Remuneration Report in the year of vesting.

Key terms of the FY21 LTIP award (Item 7)

The key terms of the proposed awards are as follows:

Quantum of
award
901,882 performance rights, representing a LTIP award with a face value of
$3,000,000 (being 200% of the CEO’s TFR for the relevant financial year).
The number of performance rights to be granted under the FY21 LTIP has
been calculated by dividing the face value opportunity by $3.32637896,
being the volume weighted average price of Ingham’s shares traded on the
ASX in the 10 trading days after 21 August 2020 (i.e. the announcement of
Ingham’s FY20 annual results). The actual value that the CEO will receive (if
any) will depend on whether the performance conditions are achieved.
901,882 performance rights, representing a LTIP award with a face value of
$3,000,000 (being 200% of the CEO’s TFR for the relevant financial year).
The number of performance rights to be granted under the FY21 LTIP has
been calculated by dividing the face value opportunity by $3.32637896,

ASX in the 10 trading days after 21 August 2020 (i.e. the announcement of
Ingham’s FY20 annual results). The actual value that the CEO will receive (if
any) will depend on whether the performance conditions are achieved.
Performance
period
3 years, commencing on 28 June 2020 and ending on or about 1 July 2023.
Performance
testing
Performance rights will vest at the end of the relevant performance period,
subject to the satisfaction of the performance conditions.
Performance will not be re-tested if the performance conditions are not
satisfied at the end of the relevant performance period. Any performance
rights that remain unvested at the end of the relevant performance period will
lapse immediately.
Performance
conditions
The FY21 LTIP performance rights are subject to the satisfaction of two
equally weighted performance conditions:
Relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) (50% of award)
For this component, the Company’s relative TSR will be compared to a
comparator group comprising the ASX 200 (excluding companies classified
as financial, mining and resources) and vest according to the following
schedule:
Company’s relative TSR
rank in the comparator group over
performance period
% of Rights that Vest
Less than 50th percentile
Nil
At 50th percentile (threshold)
50%
Between 50th and 75th percentile
Straight line pro rata Vesting between 50% and
100%
At 75th percentile or above
100%
Return on invested capital (50% of award)
For this component, the Company’s Underlying Return on Invested Capital
pre AASB-16 (“ROIC”) will be calculated as the equivalent of net operating
profit after tax, divided by average invested capital. ROIC for each of the
three years forming the performance period will be averaged to provide an
overall outcome.
The level of vesting of this component will be determined according to the
following schedule:
Company’s ROIC Outcome
% of Rights that Vest
Less than Threshold target
Nil
At Threshold target
50%
Between Threshold and Maximum target
Straight line pro rata Vesting between 50% and
100%
At Maximum target
100%
Company’s ROIC Outcome % of Rights that Vest
Less than Threshold target Nil
At Threshold target 50%
Between Threshold and Maximum target Straight line pro rata Vesting between 50% and
100%
At Maximum target 100%

5

Because the targets for the ROIC performance condition for the FY21 LTIP relates to earnings expectations of the Company, they are considered by the Board to be commercially sensitive in the highly competitive markets in which the company operates, where none of the Company’s competitors are listed companies and so do not disclose similar targets to the market. The Board does not believe it is appropriate to disclose those targets in the Notice of Meeting. Instead, the Company will disclose the relevant targets retrospectively in Ingham’s Remuneration Report in the year of vesting.

Common terms of the FY20 TIP and FY21 LTIP

Under the Plan rules and the terms of offer of the FY20 TIP and FY21 LTIP, the awards will each also have the following common terms:

Voting and dividend
entitlements
Performance rights granted under the TIP and LTIP do not carry
dividend or voting rights prior to vesting.
Shares allocated upon vesting of performance rights carry the same
dividend and voting rights as other Ingham’s shares.
Cessation of
employment
If the CEO ceases employment for cause or due to their resignation,
unless the Board determines otherwise, any unvested performance
rights will automatically lapse.
In all other circumstances, the performance rights remain on foot and
subject to the original performance conditions, unless the Board
exercises a discretion to treat them otherwise. Where the CEO
ceases employment in the first 2 years of the performance period,
the Board would generally expect to lapse his entitlements. Where
the CEO ceases employment in the third year of the performance
period, the Board would generally expect to lapse a pro-rata amount
of the performance rights (based on the portion of the performance
period not completed).
Change of control Under the Plan rules and the terms of the TIP and LTIP awards, the
Board may determine in its absolute discretion that some or all of
CEO’s performance rights will vest on a likely change of control.
Clawback Under the Plan rules and the terms of the TIP and LTIP awards, the
Board has clawback powers which it may exercise if, among other
things:

the CEO has acted fraudulently or dishonestly, has engaged in
gross misconduct, brought Ingham’s, the Ingham’s group or any
Ingham’s group company into disrepute or breached their
obligations to the Ingham’s group, or Ingham’s is required by or
entitled under law or Ingham’s policy to reclaim remuneration
from the CEO;

there is a material misstatement or omission in the accounts of
an Ingham’s group company; or

the CEO’s entitlements vest or may vest as a result of the fraud,
dishonesty or breach of obligations of any other person and the
Board is of the opinion that the performance rights would not
have otherwise vested.

6

Restrictions on
dealing
The CEO must not sell, transfer, encumber, hedge or otherwise deal
with performance rights.
The CEO will be free to deal with the shares allocated on vesting of
the performance rights, subject to the requirements of Ingham’s
Securities Dealing Policy at that time.
Other terms of the
Plan
The Board may amend or waive terms under the Plan, subject to the
ASX Listing Rules. Subject to the Listing Rules, the Board may make
such adjustments to rights awarded under the Plan as the Board
considers appropriate in order to minimise or eliminate any material
advantage or disadvantage to the CEO resulting from a corporate
action such as a capital raising or capital reconstruction. The
Remuneration Report in the Company’s Annual Report for the
financial year ended 27 June 2020 contains further details about the
Plan.

Additional information provided in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 10.15
