Recommendation

The Board (with Nicola abstaining) recommends that securityholders vote in favour of Nicola’s re-election.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this item.

Item 3 - Remuneration Report

The Company’s Remuneration Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 is set out on pages 92 to 122 of the 2019 Annual Report. The Board acknowledges that FY19 has been a particularly challenging year and the underperformance of the Engineering business has led to a disappointing financial result. Despite this outcome, the core business has achieved significant successes. The Board’s remuneration decisions for senior executives reflect the overall performance of the business during the year.

A New Executive Reward Strategy, Aligned to Securityholder Interests

At the November 2018 Annual General Meeting, securityholders gave positive endorsement for the new Executive Reward Strategy by voting 91.51% in favour of the Remuneration Report which included proposed changes to executive remuneration which were subsequently implemented in FY19. These changes were developed to:

  • Create longer dated rewards that are aligned to earnings;

  • Further align reward with securityholder interests by shifting the pay mix towards long term awards that are strongly aligned to securityholder returns;

  • Promote team behaviours and an enterprise leadership mindset; and

  • Retain the senior leadership team.

The changes have contributed to a reward strategy that recognises the importance of delivering growth from long-dated urbanisation projects while also providing short-term awards for maintaining focus on disciplined execution and growth within the target portfolio mix.

More than half of the Group CEO’s new target remuneration package is now directly linked to securityholder outcomes. In addition, our senior executives are required to hold a significant number of securities, ensuring they are heavily invested in delivering aligned outcomes for securityholders.

Long Term Award (LTA) – Future Years Focus

The LTA is designed to focus senior executives on long-term value creation. The time horizon has been increased to six years, to align with Lendlease’s future earnings profile, as a significant portion of the expected profit from business activities taking place in the current period will be recognised over 5+ years.

Under the new Executive Reward Strategy there is an increased weighting to the LTA. For the Group CEO, the LTA represents 52% of total target remuneration. For other senior executives the LTA represents 49% of total target remuneration. The main features of the LTA are:

  • Focussed on long-term value creation, with a six year time horizon.

  • Three year performance period.

  • Performance hurdles are 50% relative Total Securityholder Return (TSR) and 50% Average Return on Equity (ROE).

  • After testing, awards are delivered in four equal tranches over a further three years.

  • A minimum award promotes alignment with securityholders and a maximum award is paid only for outstanding performance.

Lendlease Notice of Meetings 2019 / 7

Remuneration Decisions - Short Term Awards Significantly Reduced

As a result of the changes to executive reward introduced in the year and the disappointing performance in the Engineering business:

  • Short Term Awards for the Group CEO and senior executives have been significantly reduced compared to last year. In aggregate, these were reduced by 80 per cent or $5.9 million.

  • Consistent with Lendlease’s culture of accountability, the Board and the Group CEO agreed that he would forego in full, any Short Term Award for FY19.

  • The range of Short Term Award outcomes for other senior executives was between 25 per cent to 50 per cent of their target.

Remuneration Outcomes Disclosed Reflect Current and Prior Year Awards

Some remuneration outcomes disclosed in the Remuneration Report show remuneration that relates to awards from prior years. Deferred STI and LTI from prior years that vested during the reporting period are included in the value disclosed for remuneration received. The values for remuneration received reflect the share price at the time of vesting (A$20.36) rather than the share price at 30 June 2019. In addition, the LTI awards from prior years that vested during the year were tested based on cumulative performance between the start of the year in which they were granted and 30 June 2018.

Recommendation

The Board recommends that securityholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this item.

Remuneration Decisions – Consideration of Malus

The Board considered whether malus provisions should be applied to Deferred Short Term Incentives (STI) or Long Term Incentives (LTI) awarded in prior years. The Board has discretion to forfeit part or all of any unvested STI and LTI where it considers vesting would provide a participant with a benefit that was unwarranted or inappropriate. In considering the application of malus, the Board was satisfied that the events causing the underperformance in the Engineering business related to FY19 and were appropriately reflected in remuneration through:

  • Zero or significantly reduced FY19 Short Term Award outcomes

  • A reduction in the value of securities that vested in FY19 under STI awards that were deferred into Lendlease securities from prior years

  • A reduction in the value of securities held by senior executives that were covered by the mandatory securityholdings policy

  • The reduction in the likelihood of future vesting of Long Term Incentives and Long Term Awards.

Remuneration Decisions – Safety Performance

In FY19, Lendlease ended the year with no reportable fatalities. No reduction has been applied to non-financial performance outcomes for senior executives on the basis of safety performance. Our focus on safety is resolute and we will continue to strive to be incident and injury free.

Item 4 – Approval of Allocation of Performance Rights to

the Managing Director

Securityholder approval is being sought to allocate Performance Rights to the Managing Director and CEO (MD) of Lendlease, Stephen McCann, under Lendlease’s new Executive Reward Strategy. The objective is to align the interests of the MD with securityholders over a period of up to 6 years.

Background

A Board review of the Executive Reward Strategy concluded in FY19 and, following a thorough consultation process with internal and external stakeholders and the endorsement provided by securityholders at the 2018 AGM, the changes were implemented for FY19. The Board believes that the changes drive better alignment between strategy and reward as outlined earlier in this Notice.

The MD’s remuneration package includes:

  • (a) Fixed remuneration (salary, superannuation and benefits);

  • (b) A short term award delivered in cash if key targets focused on disciplined execution and growth within our target portfolio mix are achieved; and

  • (c) A long term award in the form of Performance Rights that are subject to two performance hurdles over a three year period, with a further deferral period applying to 75% of the Performance Rights as shown in the following Diagram 1.

Notice of Meetings continued

Why is Securityholder Approval Being Sought?

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 requires that securityholders approve awards of securities issued to Directors. Securityholder approval is required only if new securities are issued to a Director and not if securities are required to be purchased on market. The intention of Listing Rule 10.14 is to protect securityholders from dilution in the value of securities that may occur as a result of securities issued under employee incentive plans. No such dilution occurs if securities are purchased on market.

The Board may determine whether securities awarded will be purchased on market or issued. The Board’s current intention is to purchase all Lendlease securities required to satisfy the vesting of Performance Rights on market as this would cause no dilution to securityholders’ interests. However, the Board considers it good governance to seek approval from securityholders for awards made to the MD. Subject to securityholder approval being obtained, the Board reserves the right to issue new securities instead of buying on market.

Overview

The MD’s long term award involves an annual grant of Performance Rights.

Performance Rights are rights to receive a variable number of fully paid Lendlease securities or at the discretion of the Board, cash with an equivalent value, upon vesting. Outcomes against performance hurdles will determine how many Lendlease securities will be received following vesting between a minimum and maximum number.

The minimum number of Lendlease securities is equivalent to 13.5% of the number of Performance Rights (Award Minimum).

The maximum number of Lendlease securities is equivalent to 150% of the number of Performance Rights (Award Maximum).

Performance Rights are subject to two performance hurdles (listed below) over a three year period:

  • i) 50% are subject to a Relative Total Securityholder Return (TSR) hurdle; and

  • ii) 50% are subject to an Average Return on Equity (ROE) hurdle.

Performance Rights are split into eight equal tranches, four for each performance hurdle. Performance hurdles are tested at the end of the three year performance period and the number of Lendlease securities that may be delivered on vesting is determined. The first two tranches will vest immediately thereafter, and the remaining tranches will be deferred and will vest progressively four, five and six years after the grant date (as illustrated in the diagram above). There is no retesting of Performance Rights after the end of the three year performance period.

Performance Hurdles

Relative TSR performance hurdle: Half of the Performance Rights will be subject to Lendlease’s Total Securityholder Return ( TSR ) performance compared to a comparator group of companies comprising the S&P ASX 100 Index, subject to any inclusions or exclusions determined by the Board.

Performance Rights subject to the relative TSR hurdle will be assessed over a three year performance period.

The table below shows how the number of Performance Rights will convert into Lendlease securities upon vesting, based on Lendlease’s relative TSR percentile ranking at the end of the performance period.

----- End of picture text -----

The Board believes that relative TSR is an appropriate performance hurdle as it aligns the MD’s interests with securityholder outcomes and provides a direct comparison of Lendlease’s performance against other listed companies.

Lendlease Notice of Meetings 2019 / 9

Average ROE performance hurdle: Half of the Performance Rights will be subject to Lendlease’s average Return on Equity ( ROE ) performance. ROE is derived from Lendlease’s annual statutory profit after tax divided by the weighted average equity for the year, as set out in Lendlease’s Annual Report. Assessment of average ROE performance will be based on the average of ROE results over the three year performance period.

The Board sets the average ROE performance hurdle having regard to the Group’s stated ROE target range, Lendlease’s average historical ROE against ASX benchmarks and Lendlease’s cost of equity. The table below shows how the number of Performance Rights will convert into Lendlease securities upon vesting, based on Lendlease’s ROE performance.

----- End of picture text -----

The target ROE% to be set by the Board cannot be disclosed as it is commercially sensitive. The targets and performance outcomes against the targets will be published following the end of the performance period.

Average ROE was selected as a performance measure because many of Lendlease’s activities are capital intensive, for example, major urban redevelopment projects. The Board considers it appropriate to incentivise the MD to manage an appropriate portfolio of projects for the long term, with timely execution of capital recycling. This is reflected in the average ROE, which requires a focus on sustained performance over the performance period.

Quantum of Award:

The face value of the target FY20 long term award is $3,700,000.

Subject to securityholder approval, the MD will be granted 256,960 Performance Rights.

The number of Performance Rights has been determined by dividing the face value of the target long term award grant by the volume weighted average price of Lendlease securities traded on the ASX over the twenty trading days prior to the release of the full year results for the year ending 30 June 2019, being $14.3995 and rounded to the nearest whole security. The Performance Rights are then divided into 8 equal tranches and each tranche is rounded up to the nearest whole Performance Right being 32,120 Performance Rights per tranche and a total of 256,960 Performance Rights (32,120 x 8).

The maximum number of Lendlease securities that may be issued following vesting of Performance Rights under this long term award is 385,440, being:

150% x 32,120 = 48,180 (rounded up to the nearest whole security) 8 tranches x 48,180 = 385,440

Distributions

A cash payment, equivalent to the value of distributions declared on the number of Lendlease securities that represent the Award Minimum, will be payable to the MD during the period from the grant date to the relevant vesting date. Cash payments will be made on or around the same date as distributions are payable to securityholders.

Where Performance Rights convert into Lendlease securities in excess of the Award Minimum, the MD will also be entitled to the value of distributions declared on Lendlease securities in excess of the Award Minimum, between the grant date and the relevant vesting date. The Board retains the discretion to settle this amount as additional Lendlease securities or in cash.

If the amount is settled as additional Lendlease securities, the number of additional Lendlease securities will be the amount equal to the value of distributions declared between the grant date and relevant vesting date divided by the closing price of a Lendlease security on the trading day immediately preceding the relevant vesting date (rounded up to the nearest whole security).

Cessation of Employment

If the MD resigns in circumstances which breach his non-compete obligations, or is terminated for cause, any unvested Performance Rights will lapse. In all other circumstances including where the MD is terminated or resigns as a ‘good leaver’, the MD’s unvested Performance Rights will remain subject to the original performance conditions and will be tested at the original testing dates and released at the relevant vesting dates (subject to the forfeiture provisions described below). The Board also retains the discretion to lapse all or part of any unvested Performance Rights where the MD resigns and a mutually co-operative separation cannot be agreed.

In testing the performance hurdles the Board has absolute discretion in relation to its calculations and may include or exclude items, including to better reflect management performance or securityholder expectations.

Notice of Meetings continued

Malus and Forfeiture

Prior to vesting, in certain circumstances the Board may determine that some or all of the MD’s Performance Rights will lapse. This includes if the MD breaches any obligation to the Group or the Board reasonably determines that vesting of the Performance Rights would result in the MD receiving a benefit that was unwarranted or inappropriate.

Change of Control

The early vesting of Performance Rights may be permitted by the Board in other limited circumstances such as a change in control of Lendlease. In these circumstances the Board will determine the timing and number of any Performance Rights that vest.

Additional Information Provided Under ASX Listing Rule 10.15

  • If approval is given under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, approval will not be required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This means that the Performance Rights granted to the MD and any Lendlease securities issued pursuant to this approval will not use up part of the 15% available under ASX Listing Rule 7.1.

  • It is intended that the award of Performance Rights will be made to the MD within 1 month of the meeting, and in any event no later than 12 months after the meeting.

  • No amount is payable by the MD upon the grant of these Performance Rights or to acquire Lendlease securities at vesting.

  • No loan will be provided to the MD in relation to the long term award.

  • Other than the MD, no director (or associate of a director) is currently entitled to participate in the Group’s long term award arrangements.

  • In accordance with the approval obtained at the 2018 Annual General Meeting, the MD was awarded 177,904 Performance Rights at no cost as described in the Notice of Meetings last year.

Recommendation

The Board (with Mr McCann abstaining) recommends that securityholders vote in favour of this Resolution.

The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this item.

Dear Securityholder

It is my pleasure to invite you to attend the 2019 Annual General Meeting of Lendlease Corporation Limited and Meeting of Unitholders of Lendlease Trust (AGM). The AGM will be held in the Grand Ballroom of the Four Seasons Hotel, 199 George Street, Sydney on Wednesday 20 November commencing at 10:00am (AEDT). Registration will be available from 9:30am.

The AGM is the primary opportunity for the Board and Senior Executives to interact directly with securityholders and is an important part of our approach to governance. Our Group Chief Executive Officer Steve McCann and I will speak at the AGM, and provide an update to securityholders on the Group’s performance during the year. You should also refer to the Lendlease 2019 Annual Report, which was prepared with reference to the International Integrated Reporting (IR) Framework that encourages businesses to consider what creates value for them and how this value contributes to long-term sustainable returns for securityholders.

The Notice of Meetings contains details of the items of business, as well as voting procedures and explanatory notes. At the AGM, you will be able to vote on:

  • the re-election of directors David Craig and Nicola Wakefield Evans who are retiring by rotation in accordance with the Company’s Constitution and are offering themselves for re-election;

  • the adoption of the Remuneration Report as set out in pages 92 to 122 of the 2019 Annual Report; and

  • the allocation of Performance Rights to Steve McCann, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer.

The Board considers that all resolutions are in the best interests of securityholders of Lendlease as a whole, and recommends that you vote in favour of all items.

Steve Dobbs, who was appointed to the Board in January 2015 will not stand for re-election at the AGM and will be retiring from the Board at the conclusion of the meeting. Steve has been an outstanding director and on behalf of securityholders, I thank Steve for his substantial contribution during his tenure on the Lendlease Board.

The Lendlease Board continually reviews its composition and mix of skills, experience and capabilities. We are well progressed in a search for a Non-Executive Director with experience in our core operating segments of Development, Construction and Investments and expect to announce soon the appointment of a new Non-Executive Director which will add further strength and diversity to the Board.

I encourage you to attend the meeting if you are able so that you can ask questions and vote on important matters affecting the Group. For those securityholders who are not able to attend the meeting in person, I encourage you to submit written questions in advance of the meeting. Questions should relate to the matters that are relevant to the business of the meeting and may be submitted on the form included with the Notice of Meetings, or on-line through www.investorvote.com.au. While time may not permit me to address all of the questions submitted, I will try to address the more frequently raised securityholder questions during the course of the meeting.

If you are not able to attend the meeting to vote in person, I encourage you to appoint a proxy before the meeting to attend and vote on your behalf. Details of how to submit the proxy form are included with the Notice of Meetings. You can also view the AGM over our live webcast at www.lendlease.com. An archive of the webcast will be available at the same web address after the meeting.

As always, securityholders are invited to join the Board and Senior Executives for light refreshments at the conclusion of the meeting and I look forward to meeting as many securityholders as possible on the day.

Yours sincerely

How to Vote on Items of Business

All your securities will be voted in accordance with your directions.

Appointing a proxy: If you wish to appoint the Chairman of the Meetings as your proxy, mark the box in Step 1. If the person you wish to appoint as your proxy is someone other than the Chairman of the Meetings please write the name of that person in Step 1. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the Meetings, the Chairman of the Meetings will be your proxy. If your named proxy attends the Meetings but does not vote on a poll on an item of business in accordance with your voting directions, the Chairman of the Meetings will become your proxy in respect of that item.

Voting 100% of your holding: Direct your proxy how to vote by marking one of the boxes opposite each item of business. If you do not mark a box your proxy may vote or abstain as they choose (to the extent permitted by law). If you mark more than one box on an item your vote will be invalid on that item.

Voting a portion of your holding: Indicate a portion of your voting rights by inserting the percentage or number of securities you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting entitlement or 100%.

Appointing a second proxy: You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the Meetings and vote on a poll. If you appoint two proxies you must specify the percentage of votes or number of securities for each proxy, otherwise each proxy may exercise half of the votes. When appointing a second proxy write both names and the percentage of votes or number of securities for each in Step 1 overleaf.

A proxy need not be a securityholder of Lendlease Group.

Voting restrictions applying to key management personnel: If you appoint a member of the key management personnel of Lendlease Corporation Limited (which includes each of the Directors) (KMP) or one of their closely related parties as your proxy, the KMP will not be able to cast your votes on items 3 and 4 unless you direct them how to vote or the Chairman of the Meetings is your proxy.

If you appoint the Chairman of the Meetings as your proxy or the Chairman of the Meetings is appointed as your proxy by default, and you do not mark a voting box for items 3 and 4 then by completing and submitting this form you will be expressly authorising the Chairman of the Meetings to exercise the proxy in respect of the relevant item even though the item is connected with the remuneration of the KMP. The Chairman of the Meetings intends to vote all available proxies in favour of each item of business.
