Resolution 1 – Re-election of Mr Bruce Mathieson

Resolution 1 seeks approval for the re-election of Mr Bruce Mathieson as a Director with effect from the end of the Annual General Meeting.

Mr Bruce Mathieson was appointed to the Board on 16 February 2007.

Mr Mathieson is currently a Director and was the former Chief Executive Officer of ALH Group, a joint venture between Woolworths Limited (owning 75%) and the Mathieson Family (owning 25%). The ALH Group owns approximately 325 hotels and 520 retail outlets across Australia and employs more than 16,000 staff.

Mr Mathieson also has significant investments in a number of tech startups. He has previously served as a Director of the Carlton Football Club. He is trained as an engineer and brings management and transactional experience from a number of industries to the Board.

==> picture [191 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

In addition to being a Director of the Board, Professor Robinson is Chairman of the Science, Technology and Medical Committee.

The Board (with the relevant Director in relation to their own re-election abstaining) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolutions 1 and 2.

3. Resolution 3 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Annual Report for the financial year ended 30 June 2019 contains a Remuneration Report, which forms part of the Director’s Report and sets out the remuneration policy for the consolidated entity comprising the Company and its controlled entities and reports on the remuneration arrangements in place for its KMP.

Mayne Pharma’s executive remuneration framework is focused on aligning shareholder and management interest by adopting a remuneration policy with a significant weighting to at-risk and long-term incentives (LTI). Executive pay design comprises market competitive fixed annual remuneration combined with the opportunity to build wealth together with shareholders through the long-term incentive plans.

Mayne Pharma has removed short-term incentives for senior executives and a stronger proportion of total remuneration is in the form of LTI with performance hurdles aligned to shareholder interests.

An equity-based LTI is important to ensure close alignment with shareholders and motivates executives to focus on corporate strategies that will deliver long-term growth of shareholder value. For the last five years, the LTI was in the form of a share loan scheme (effectively operates like a 5-year option) and executives only receive a benefit from the LTI program if the share price increases, with loan shares progressively vesting at continuously increasing performance hurdles.

As outlined in the 2019 Remuneration Report, the challenges faced by Mayne Pharma over the last few years are reflected in the financial results of the Company and in the remuneration outcomes for the senior executives. Since the introduction of the ESLS in FY15, less than 7% of loan shares have vested and only 84,999 loan shares have been exercised. The total cash benefit realised to all employees from the share loan scheme for the period FY15 to FY19 has been $80,749.

Based on a 60c share price, only 300,000 employee options or loan shares have vested and are in the money and therefore could be exercised, which demonstrates the strong alignment of the LTI program with shareholder interests.

The Remuneration Report also includes information on the elements of remuneration that are performance based, the performance conditions that apply and the methodology used to assess satisfaction of those performance conditions.

The vote on Resolution 3 to adopt the Remuneration Report relates to the Company’s remuneration policy and outcomes for the 2019 financial year.

During this item, there will be an opportunity for shareholders at the meeting to comment on and ask questions about the Remuneration Report, and shareholders are asked to adopt the Remuneration Report.

The vote on the resolution in this item is advisory and will not bind the Directors of Mayne Pharma. The Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration when reviewing remuneration practices and policies of the Company.

The Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

4. Long term remuneration for Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director

The Board has reviewed the Company's remuneration framework for executives, including the structure of its LTI plans, after taking into consideration feedback from shareholders and stakeholders.

The Company's LTI plans include its ESLS and PROP. The PROP (in its original form, known as the Employee Share Option Plan (ESOP)) was adopted in 2012 with shareholder approval and provides the Board with the ability to issue participants with Options to acquire Shares. This year the Board has amended the PROP to extend its operation to also be able to issue Performance Rights to participants. An overview of the operation of the PROP and Performance Rights is set out further below.

The Board determined to extend the operation of the PROP to include Performance Rights in order to allow the Board to manage dilution concerns arising under the ESLS. Whilst theoretical dilution is 7%, the actual dilution to shareholders is 0.02% based on a share price of 60c as only 300,000 options/loan shares have vested and are in the money. Under the PROP, a participant will receive a significantly lower number of Shares if performance hurdles are met compared to the ESLS program as Performance Rights are a full face value instrument.

It is proposed that the Company's Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr Scott Richards, receive LTI equity interests in the Company with a total participation value of $2 million which is 200% of his fixed annual remuneration, consistent with the LTI participation rate and amount in the prior year.

The Board has recommended that Mr Richards’ LTI interests for this financial year be allocated between the ESLS and PROP on a 40:60 basis. This would allow the Board to provide to Mr Scott Richards:

  • ESLS participation value of $800,000. His loan to buy shares under the ESLS will be $2,416,000 (3.02 times the ESLS participation value of $800,000). The number of Shares to be acquired will be calculated based on the loan amount divided by the 5-day VWAP of Shares at the grant date; and

  • PROP participation value of $1,200,000. The number of Performance Rights allocated is determined by dividing the PROP participation value by the 5-day VWAP of Shares at the grant date.

Resolution 4 - Issue of Shares under the ESLS and Performance Rights under the PROP to the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director

Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, shareholder approval is required in order for a Director to be issued securities under an employee incentive scheme. Accordingly, Shareholders are asked to approve the issue of Shares under the ESLS and Performance Rights under the PROP to the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, Mr Scott Richards.

Shares under the ESLS

The ESLS provides a non-recourse loan for the sole purpose of acquiring Shares. The ESLS allows the issue of Shares to participants based on a percentage of fixed remuneration funded by a non-recourse loan. The Shares vest over a period of up to five years, subject to the achievement of hurdles based on increases in shareholder wealth created over that period. Once vested, the Shares remain restricted until the participant repays the loan. Issues are made annually to participants.

The ESLS participants currently include the CEO, Group CFO, other KMP and select senior executives. All ESLS participants no longer receive short-term incentives and all the incentive component of their remuneration is now linked to the long-term success of the Company. It is not intended that Non-Executive Directors will participate in the ESLS.

The Board believes that an equity-based long-term incentive is important to ensure an appropriate part of the executive’s reward is linked to generating long-term returns for Shareholders.

Since the 2018 Annual General Meeting, Mr Scott Richards has received 6,229,373 Shares under the ESLS at an issue price of $0.9696. Mr Scott Richards has received 21,457,254 Shares under the ESLS over the last five years as outlined in the table below. At a share price of 60c, Mr Scott Richards has no shares under the ESLS that are in the money.

Grant Number Grant price Expiry
FY15 3,823,529 $0.6815 4 Jan 2020

FY18 6,608,851 $0.6169 31 Jul 2022
FY19 6,229,373 $0.9696 1 Oct 2023

An overview of the ESLS offer to the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director is set out below. Further details of Mr Richards’ remuneration package and the operation of the ESLS are set out in the Remuneration Report of the 2019 Annual Report.

Date of
allocation
If Shareholder approval is obtained it is expected that the loan will be made and Shares will be allocated
no later than 30 days after the 2019 AGM.
Key terms of
loan
The ESLS provides for a limited-recourse, interest free, five-year loan from the Company for the sole
purpose of acquiring Shares.
Any dividends paid on the ESLS Shares while the ESLS Shares are restricted are applied (on a notional
after-tax basis) towards repaying the loan. The balance of the dividend is paid directly to the participant
to fund his or her tax liability on the dividends received.
Following the end of the applicable Performance Period, if the vesting conditions are met the ESLS Shares
will vest and the participant will then have until the end of the five-year term to repay the loan.
As this is a limited-recourse loan, if the value of the ESLS Shares is less than the outstanding loan balance
at the end of the loan period, the ESLS Shares will be surrendered and forfeited in full settlement of the
loan balance.
The amount of Mr Richards' loan will be set by the application of a multiplication factor to the dollar
amount of his ESLS participation (see the Number and price of Shares section below).
The multiplication factor has been set at 3.02 times and is set with reference to the size of the loan
required for the desired value creation opportunity under the ESLS.
Number and
price of
Shares
The value of Mr Richards’ annual ESLS participation is determined by reference to a percentage of his
fixed remuneration which is 80% (being 40% of total LTI participation rate of 200%). The dollar amount
of his ESLS participation is $800,000 and his loan to buy shares will be $2,416,000 (3.02 times the ESLS
participation of $800,000).
The number of ESLS Shares allocated is determined by dividing the loan amount by the 5-day VWAP at
grant date.
Performance
Conditions
Shares will vest where an absolute total shareholder return (TSR) growth condition is met over the
applicable period (up to five years)
One half of the Shares will vest for compound annual absolute TSR growth of 5% per annum. All of the
Shares will vest for compound annual absolute TSR growth of 10% per annum. Vesting will occur on a
straight-line basis for performance between these two points.
The Board chose the absolute TSR growth targets to align executive reward with what the Board considers
to be acceptable levels of return to Shareholders (ie between 5% and 10% compound annual growth).
The Board considered the use of a relative performance condition but does not consider that there are a
sufficient number of appropriate comparator pharmaceutical companies (ie of similar size) listed in
Australia.

9 Mayne Pharma Notice of Annual General Meeting 2019

==> picture [191 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Performance
Period
If the performance conditions are met, the Shares will vest progressively at continuously increasing
hurdles. Vesting can occur over a period of up to five years from grant with 20% eligible for vesting after
the first test date, 30% eligible after the second test date and the balance eligible for vesting after the
third test date, subject to the achievement of the TSR target.
This progressive vesting schedule provides a rolling benefit over the three-year period in the absence of
a short-term incentive.
Vesting can occur six monthly in years 4 and 5 from the date of the grant, but the TSR vesting condition
continues to compound in years 4 and 5.
The test dates for Mr Richards' shares issued under the ESLS since 1 December 2018 have been set as 1
September each year.
Trading
restrictions
The ESLS Shares are restricted until the vesting conditions are met and while the loan remains
outstanding.
Cessation of
employment
Treatment of unvested ESLS Shares depend on a range of factors, such as the reason for Mr Richards’
departure, and his tenure. For example, if Mr Richards ceases employment by retirement, redundancy or
other ‘Good Leaver’ category determined by the Board, Mr Richards will retain the ESLS Shares, subject
to the original terms and conditions of the award, including testing and expiration dates.

Performance Rights under the PROP

The PROP allows the Board to grant Options and/or Performance Rights to be issued to participants. Broadly, Options and Performance Rights will give participants an interest in the value of underlying Shares, subject to the satisfaction of key vesting conditions. Performance Rights are eligible for vesting over a period of up to five years, subject to the achievement of the specified vesting condition hurdles. As with the ESLS, the incentives received by participants under the PROP are linked to the long-term success of the Company.

As noted above in respect of the ESLS, the Board believes that equity-based long-term incentives are important to ensure an appropriate part of the executive’s reward is linked to generating long-term returns for Shareholders.

The Board intends to issue Mr Scott Richards with Performance Rights under the PROP, as outlined below. Mr Scott Richards has not previously received Performance Rights under the PROP.

The PROP participants currently include two senior executives with outstanding options due to expire in November 2019 and February 2020. Going forward, participation in the PROP is open to eligible employees as determined by the Board. It is not intended that Non-Executive Directors will participate in the PROP.

Date of
allocation
If Shareholder approval is obtained it is expected that Performance Rights will be allocated no later than
30 days after the 2019 AGM.
Key terms of
PROP
The PROP provides for the issue of Options and Performance Rights to participants.
It is proposed that Mr Richards will be issued with Performance Rights under the PROP. It is not proposed
that Mr Richards will be issued with any Options under the PROP at this time.
If the vesting criteria are met while Mr Richards is still employed by Mayne Pharma:
1.
While Mr Richards resides in the US, the Performance Rights will be automatically exercised at the
date they vest; and
2.
The Company’s intention is to settle the Performance Rights by providing Mr Richards with one
fully paid ordinary share for each vested Performance Right, with Mr Richards expected to sell a
portion of these shares to meet his tax obligations. Alternatively, the Company may “net settle”
with Mr Richards, so that the Company pays the relevant tax directly to the tax authorities and
provides Mr Richards with the after-tax number of Shares.
Participants will not have any voting rights or rights to dividends paid on Shares while the participant
holds an Option or Performance Right.
The amount of Mr Richards' participation in the PROP will be set by reference to the dollar amount of his
PROP participation (see the 'Number and price of Performance Rights' section below).
Number and
price of
The value of Mr Richards’ annual PROP participation is determined by reference to a percentage of his
fixed remuneration which is 120% (being 60% of total LTI participation rate of 200%).
The dollar amount of his PROP participation is $1,200,000.

Mayne Pharma Notice of Annual General Meeting 2019 10

==> picture [191 x 43] intentionally omitted <==

Performance
Rights
The number of Performance Rights allocated is determined by dividing the PROP participation amount
by the 5-day VWAP at the grant date of the Performance Rights.
Performance
Conditions
Performance Rights issued to Mr Richards will vest in a similar way to the Shares issued to Mr Richards
under the ESLS. That is, the Performance Rights will vest where an absolute TSR growth condition is met
over the applicable period (up to five years)
One half of the Performance Rights will vest for compound annual absolute TSR growth of 5% per annum.
All of the Performance Rights will vest for compound annual absolute TSR growth of 10% per annum.
Vesting will occur on a straight-line basis for performance between these two points.
The Board chose the absolute TSR growth targets to align executive reward with what the Board considers
to be acceptable levels of return to Shareholders (ie between 5% and 10% compound annual growth).
The Board considered the use of a relative performance condition but does not consider that there are a
sufficient number of appropriate comparator pharmaceutical companies (ie of similar size) listed in
Australia.
Performance
Period
If the performance conditions are met, the Performance Rights will vest progressively at continuously
increasing hurdles. Vesting can occur over a period of up to five years from grant with 20% eligible for
vesting after the first test date, 30% eligible after the second test date and the balance eligible for vesting
after the third test date, subject to the achievement of the TSR target.
This progressive vesting schedule provides a rolling benefit over the three-year period in the absence of
a short-term incentive.
Vesting can occur six monthly in years 4 and 5 from the date of the grant, but the TSR vesting condition
continues to compound in years 4 and 5.
The test dates for the Performance Rights issued under the PROP will be set as 1 September each year.
Trading
restrictions
The Performance Rights are not able to be sold or transferred by Mr Richards.
The Performance Rights do not give Mr Richards any rights to a Share unless and until the vesting
conditions for the Performance Rights are met.
Cessation of
employment
Treatment of unvested Performance Rights depend on a range of factors, such as the reason for Mr
Richards’ departure, and his tenure. For example, if Mr Richards ceases employment by retirement,
redundancy or other ‘Good Leaver’ category determined by the Board, Mr Richards will retain unvested
Performance Rights subject to the original terms and conditions of the award, including testing and
expiration dates.
To the extent permitted by law, the Board may elect to settle any Performance Rights vesting by way of
a cash payment (rather than Shares).

Mayne Pharma has obtained a waiver from compliance with the requirements of Listing Rule 10.15.2 which allows Mayne Pharma not to include in this Notice of Meeting the maximum number of ESLS Shares and Performance Rights that will be notionally granted to Mr Richards on the basis that the Notice of Meeting sets out the method by which the number of ESLS Shares and Performance Rights will be calculated.

The Board (with Mr Richards abstaining) considers the issue of Shares under the ESLS and Performance Rights under the PROP to the Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director appropriate in all the circumstances and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.
