Explanatory Memorandum

This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of shareholders of the Company (Shareholders) in relation to the business to be conducted at the Company’s AGM to be held on Monday, 20 November 2023 at 10:00am (Sydney time).

The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with information that is reasonably required by Shareholders to decide how to vote upon the resolutions.

Subject to the abstentions noted below, the Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of all resolutions. The Chairman of the Meeting intends to vote all available undirected proxies in favour of each resolution.

Resolutions 1 – 4 are ordinary resolutions, which require a simple majority of votes cast by Shareholders present and entitled to vote on the Resolution. Resolution 3 relating to the Remuneration Report, is advisory and does not bind the Directors or the Company.

Resolution 1. Re-election of Paul Selig as Director

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, Paul Selig will stand for re-election as an Executive Director of the Company, having last been re-elected at the Company’s 2020 AGM. If shareholders do not approve the election of Paul Selig, then Paul Selig will cease to be a Director at the conclusion of the Meeting.

Paul’s career commenced in banking and treasury management before moving into the print and marketing communications sector over 25 years ago. Paul was appointed to IVE Group Limited on its incorporation in 2015, and was a director of IVE Group from 2012. Paul is an experienced director and investor having run the Caxton Group family office for over 15 years.

Paul is also a director of Caxton Group, Caxton Print Holdings and Caxton Property Developments. He holds a Bachelor of Economics (Hons) from Macquarie University.

As Paul is an executive of the Company, the Board does not consider him to be independent. Nevertheless, given his considerable experience and skills, the Directors consider that he adds significant value to the Board.

Prior to submitting himself for re-election, Paul has confirmed that he would continue to have sufficient time to properly fulfil his duties and responsibilities to the Company.

The Board supports the re-election of Paul Selig as he will continue to contribute to the Board significant experience in the industries in which IVE Group operates, marketing communications, commercial negotiation and governance as well as complementing the skills of the existing directors.

The Directors, with Paul Selig abstaining, unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 2. Re-election of Director – James Todd

ASX Listing Rule 14.4 provides that a director of an entity must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer.

In accordance with the Company’s Constitution, James Todd will stand for re-election as a Non-Executive Director of the Company, having last been re-elected at the Company’s 2020 AGM. If shareholders do not approve the election of James Todd, then James Todd will cease to be a Director at the conclusion of the Meeting.

The Board considered whether James Todd had any interest, position or relationship that may interfere with his independence as a Director, having regard to the relevant factors as set out in the ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles & Recommendations (4th edition) (ASX Principles). The Board considers that James Todd (if re-elected), will continue to be an independent Director.

James Todd was appointed to IVE Group Limited on its incorporation in 2015, and was a director of IVE Group from 2014. He is currently a member of the Audit, Risk and Compliance Committee.

He is also a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.

For the reasons set out above, the Board supports the re-election of James Todd as a Director.

The Directors, with James Todd abstaining, unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

Resolution 3. Remuneration Report

Section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act requires that the section of IVE Group’s Directors’ Report dealing with the remuneration of the key management personnel (Remuneration Report) be put to the vote of shareholders for adoption by way of a non-binding vote.

Key management personnel (KMP) are those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of IVE Group including any executive or non-executive director.

Broadly, the Remuneration Report:

  • discusses the Board of IVE Group’s policy in relation to remuneration of the KMP;

  • discusses the relationship between the Board’s policy and Company performance;

  • details any performance conditions attached to KMP remuneration; and

  • sets out remuneration details for each KMP.

Shareholders can view the full Remuneration Report in the Annual Report which is available on IVE Group’s website at www.ivegroup.com.au

Following consideration of the Remuneration Report, the Chairman of the Meeting will give shareholders as a whole a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report. A resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted will then be put to the vote. The vote on this resolution is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. However, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration in setting remuneration policy for future years.

The Board will continue to review the effectiveness of the Company’s remuneration practices and their alignment with strategic performance objectives to appropriately reward the Company’s executives and deliver shareholder value.

The Directors unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

IVE Group Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting — Monday, 20 November 2023

Resolution 4. Issue of Performance Share Rights under the IVE Group Equity Incentive Plan – Geoff Selig

Please refer to the Company’s Remuneration Report in the 2023 Annual Report for details on the Company’s approach to remuneration which includes fixed and at-risk remuneration.

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires shareholder approval by ordinary resolution before a director can be issued securities under a listed entity’s employee incentive scheme. Resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval for the issue of up to 147,058 performance rights (Performance Rights) to Geoff Selig, a Director of IVE Group, under the IVE Group Equity Incentive Plan (Incentive Plan)

If shareholders approve Resolution 4, the Company will be able to proceed with the issue of Performance Rights to Geoff Selig on the terms and conditions as set out in this Notice of Meeting.

If shareholder approval is not obtained, the Board will consider alternative arrangements to appropriately remunerate and incentivise Geoff Selig.

Purpose of the Incentive Plan

The Company has established the Incentive Plan to assist in the motivation, retention and reward of staff including senior management. A summary of the key terms of the Incentive Plan is set out in Attachment A.

Other members of senior management, selected by the Board, have been granted performance rights under the Incentive Plan on similar terms to Geoff Selig.

Calculation of the Proposed Number of Performance Rights

The number of Performance Rights to be granted is calculated by dividing the total value of the award by the fair value of the Performance Rights calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation (for component subject to the TSR performance condition) and a risk-neutral assumption (for the component subject to EPS performance condition). The fair value for this grant is $1.36, with the number of Performance Rights granted rounded down to the next whole number.

It is proposed that Geoff Selig be granted up to 147,058 Performance Rights. This has been calculated by dividing the total value of $200,000 by $1.36 (fair value).

Performance Conditions

The Performance Rights are subject to two Performance Conditions: 60% of the Performance Rights are subject to an earnings per share (EPS) performance hurdle, tested based on the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of the Company’s EPS, and 40% of the Performance Rights are subject to a relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) hurdle. Both Performance Conditions will be tested over the three-year period commencing 1 July 2023 and ending on 30 June 2026 (Performance Period).

10

IVE Group Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting — Monday, 20 November 2023

The Performance Conditions operate as follows:

  • The EPS hurdle will measure the compound annual growth of the Company’s EPS over the Performance Period. EPS measures the earnings generated by the Company attributable to each share on issue on a fully diluted basis. EPS growth will be calculated as the Company’s Net Profit After Tax (NPAT) divided by the undiluted weighted average shares on issue throughout the performance period, using the following formula:

���������� �� � ���� ��� ��� � �� ���� �� ����

(Benchmark 1); and

  • The Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) performance of the Company will be measured in comparison to similar companies in a peer group. Due to changes in the market and the lack of material numbers of useful comparator companies, the peer group chosen for the FY24 grant are the companies who are included in the ASX Small Ordinaries Index at the commencement of the Performance Period. The TSR of each company will be measured from the start of the Performance Period to the end of the Performance Period (Benchmark 2),

Performance Rights will vest in the percentages relevant to achievement of the Performance Conditions in the table below subject to any adjustments for abnormal or unusual profit items that the Nominations and Remuneration Committee, in its discretion, considers appropriate:

60% of Performance Rights
Earnings Per Share Target (EPS)

Together Benchmark 1 and Benchmark 2 comprise the total Performance Conditions but act independently relative to their specific target component of 60% and 40% of Performance Rights, respectively.

Testing of the EPS and TSR Hurdles will occur shortly after the end of the Performance Period and release of the Company’s full year audited results in August 2026 and the number of Performance Rights that vest (if any) will be determined. Any Performance Rights that remain unvested will lapse immediately.

Calculation of the Performance Conditions and achievement against the Performance Conditions will be determined by the Nominations and Remuneration Committee of the Company in its absolute discretion, having regard to any matters that it considers relevant. The Board has discretion to adjust the comparator group, including to take into account takeovers, mergers or de-mergers that might occur during the Performance Period.

11

IVE Group Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting — Monday, 20 November 2023

On the Conversion Date, vested Performance Rights will convert to IVE Group Shares on a one-for-one basis.

Additional Terms of the Performance Rights

  • Performance Rights do not carry any dividend or voting rights prior to vesting.

  • In respect of vested Performance Rights, the Board may in its absolute discretion determine to make a cash payment in lieu of allocating some or all of the Shares.

  • The Company’s obligation to allocate Shares on vesting of the Performance Rights may be satisfied by issuing new shares, procuring the transfer to, or procuring the setting aside for the participant the number of shares in respect of which Performance Rights have vested.

  • The Incentive Plan contains provisions which give the Board the ability, in certain circumstances, to impose clawback, including the lapse of unvested Performance Rights and forfeit of shares allocated upon vesting of Performance Rights (e.g. in the event of fraud, dishonesty or serious breach of duty).

  • In the event, in the Board’s opinion, there is the likely result of a change in the control (as defined in the Incentive Plan rules) of the Company, the Board has discretion to determine that all or a specified number of the Performance Rights vest.

  • In the event there is any corporate action by, or capital reconstruction in relation to the Company (including but not limited to return of capital), adjustments may be made to the number of Performance Rights and/or the number of Shares to which Geoff Selig is entitled upon vesting in accordance with the Listing Rules or in a manner that the Board considers appropriate.

  • Unless the Board determines otherwise:

  • if Geoff Selig’s employment is terminated for cause or he resigns (or gives notice of his resignation) prior to the Conversion Date, all of his unvested Rights will lapse; or

  • if Geoff Selig ceases employment for any other reason prior to the Conversion Date, a pro rata portion of his unvested Rights (calculated based on the portion of the performance period that has elapsed up until the date of his cessation) will remain on foot and will be tested in the ordinary course as though he had not ceased employment.

  • Under the Incentive Plan rules, any dealing in respect of a Performance Right is prohibited, unless the Board determines otherwise or the dealing is required by law.

ASX Listing Rule 7.1 imposes a 15% cap on the number of equity securities that can be issued by IVE Group without approval of shareholders in any rolling twelve-month period. However, IVE Group is permitted to issue shares (or other securities) in excess of the 15% limit if those shares or securities are issued in reliance on an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1 or the issue is approved by shareholders.

Resolution 4, if passed, will provide approval for this purpose in relation to both the Performance Rights and any Shares issued on vesting of those rights. If approval is given under Listing Rule 10.14, approval is not required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, in accordance with Exception 14 in ASX Listing Rule 7.2.

The Directors (apart from Geoff Selig), who do not have an interest in the outcome of the resolution, unanimously recommend that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Attachment A

The key terms of the IVE Group Equity Incentive Plan are as follows:

Where applicable, defined terms have the same meaning as provided in the IVE Group Equity Incentive Plan Rules as available on the IVE Group website (www.ivegroup.com.au).

Feature Terms of the IVE Group Equity Incentive Plan
Eligibility Offers may be made at the Board’s discretion to employees of the Company or its
related bodies corporate (including a director employed in an executive capacity)
or any other person who is declared by the Board to be eligible to receive a grant
of securities under the Incentive Plan.
Types of security The Incentive Plan provides flexibility for the Board to grant one or more of the
following securities subject to the terms of the individual offer at the relevant time:

performance share rights

options

restricted shares
Options are an entitlement to receive an ordinary Share upon satisfaction of
specified conditions and payment of a specified exercise price. Performance share
rights and restricted shares are an entitlement to receive an ordinary Share for no
consideration upon satisfaction of specified conditions. Unless otherwise specified
in an offer document, the Board has the discretion to settle performance rights or
options with a cash equivalent payment.
Offers of equity The Board may make offers of any form of security at its discretion and any offer
documents must contain the information required by the Incentive Plan Rules.
The Board has the discretion to set the terms and conditions on which it will
offer performance share rights, options and restricted shares in individual offer
documents. Offers can be made on an opt-in or opt-out basis.
Consideration
payable
Unless the Board determines otherwise, no payment is required for a grant of a
performance right, option or restricted share under the Incentive Plan.
Vesting Vesting of performance rights, options and restricted shares under the Incentive
Plan is subject to any vesting or performance conditions determined by the Board
and specified in the offer document. Options must be exercised by the employee
and the employee is required to pay the exercise price before Shares
are allocated.
Subject to the Incentive Plan Rules and the terms of the specific offer document,
any performance rights, options or restricted shares will either lapse or be
forfeited if the relevant vesting and performance conditions are not satisfied.

IVE Group Limited Notice of Annual General Meeting — Monday, 20 November 2023

Feature Terms of the IVE Group Equity Incentive Plan
Rights attaching to
performance share
rights, shares and
options
A Performance Share Right or Option has no rights other than those under the
Incentive Plan and advised in the Offer Letter and do not have any entitlement to
any dividend or voting rights.
Unless otherwise limited by the Incentive Plan Rules or under an agreement of
the Shareholders of the Company, a Participant will be entitled to all rights
attaching to the Shares (including Restricted Shares) once registered in the
Participant’s name including:
i.
an entitlement to receive any dividend paid in relation to those Shares;
ii. the right to exercise any voting rights attaching to those Shares, or appoint a
proxy to represent and vote for him or her, at any meeting of the members of
the Company;
iii. any bonus shares that are issued in respect of the Shares will be issued to the
Participant and will be held by the Participant as Shares subject to the same
terms, conditions and restrictions on Dealing (if any) as applicable to the
Shares in respect of which they were issued; and
iv. if rights arise on a rights issue in respect of the Shares, the Participant may
deal with or exercise those rights.
Cessation of
employment
The Incentive Plan Rules provide that on cessation of employment performance
rights, options or restricted shares will continue on the terms granted unless the
Board determines otherwise.
The Board has a broad discretion in relation to the treatment of entitlements
on cessation of employment except that the Board is prohibited from providing
a benefit that would cause the Company to be in breach of Part 2D.2 of the
Corporations Act insofar as it would relate to a termination benefit.
Clawback of equity The Incentive Plan Rules provide the Board with broad ‘clawback’ powers if,
amongst other things, the Participant has acted fraudulently or dishonestly,
engaged in gross misconduct or has acted in a manner that has brought the
Company or its related bodies corporate into disrepute, or there is a material
financial misstatement, or the Company is required or entitled under law or
Company policy to reclaim remuneration from the Participant, or the Participant’s
entitlements 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 incentives would not
have otherwise vested.
Change of control The Incentive Plan Rules provide that if a ‘Control Event’ occurs, the Board has
the absolute discretion to determine whether none, some, or all of a Participant’s
performance rights, options or restricted shares will vest or cease to be subject to
restrictions unless the specific terms of the relevant offer specify otherwise.
No hedging A Participant is prohibited from entering into any arrangement including but
not limited to any financial product which operates to limit the economic risk
of the Restricted Shares, Performance Share Rights or Options prior to vesting
or becoming exercisable as relevant. Where a participant enters into any
arrangement in breach of this rule, the Restricted Share, Performance Share
Right and/or Option will lapse, unless the Board determines otherwise.
