To ensure that as many shareholders as possible have the opportunity to speak, shareholders are requested to observe the following:

  • all shareholder questions should be stated clearly and should be relevant to the business of the Meeting, including matters arising from the Directors’ report (including the Remuneration Report), the auditor’s report and the financial report, and general questions about the performance, business or management of Megaport;

  • if there are a number of similar questions these may be amalgamated and addressed collectively in the interest of time; and

  • shareholders should not ask questions at the Meeting regarding personal matters or those that are commercial in confidence.

Shareholders who prefer to register questions in advance of the AGM are invited to do so at www.investorvote.com.au.

All Resolutions by poll

The Chair of the Annual General Meeting intends to call a poll on each of the Resolutions proposed at the AGM. Each Resolution considered at the AGM will therefore be conducted by poll, rather than a show of hands. The Chair of the Annual General Meeting considers voting by poll to be in the interests of the shareholders as a whole, and to ensure the representation of as many shareholders as possible at the Meeting.

Appointing a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf . A shareholder who is entitled to vote at the Meeting may appoint:

  • one proxy if the shareholder is only entitled to one vote; or

  • two proxies if the shareholder is entitled to more than one vote.

Where the shareholder appoints two proxies, the appointment may specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy may exercise. If the appointment does not specify a proportion or number, each proxy may exercise one half of the votes.

A proxy need not be a shareholder of Megaport. If you require a proxy form to appoint a second proxy, please contact Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited on 1300 850 505 (within Australia) or +61 3 9415 4000 (outside Australia), which will supply it on request.

A proxy may decide whether to vote on any motion except where the proxy is required by law or Megaport's Constitution to vote, or abstain from voting, in their capacity as a proxy. If a proxy directs how to vote on an item of business, the proxy may only vote on that item, in accordance with that direction. If a proxy is not directed how to vote on an item of business, a proxy may vote how he/she thinks fit.

If a shareholder appoints the Chair of the of the Annual General Meeting as the shareholder’s proxy and does not specify how the Chair of the Annual General Meeting is to vote on an item of business, the Chair of the Annual General Meeting will vote, as a proxy for that shareholder, in favour of the item of business on a poll.

  • 1 The Corporations Act requires that the Directors’ report, the auditor’s report, and the financial report be laid before the Annual General Meeting.

In addition to asking questions at the Annual General Meeting, shareholders may address written questions to the Chair of the Annual General Meeting about the management of Megaport or to Megaport’s auditor, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, if the question is relevant to:

  • 4 Under section 250PA(1) of the Corporations Act, written questions for Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu must be delivered by 5.00pm (Brisbane time) on Wednesday, 25 October 2023 to:

Explanatory Memorandum

==> picture [93 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

Directors’ recommendation

  • 9 As the Resolution relates to matters including the remuneration of the Directors, the Board, as a matter of corporate governance and in accordance with the spirit of section 250R(4) of the Corporations Act, abstains from making a recommendation regarding this Resolution 1.

Note: If you appoint the Chair of the Annual General Meeting as your proxy and you do not provide voting directions, the Chair of the Annual General Meeting is entitled to cast your vote in accordance with his/her stated intentions, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP. The Chair of the Annual General Meeting intends to vote all available proxies in favour of this Resolution 1.

If you appoint another Director or member of the KMP as your proxy for this Resolution 1, you MUST direct your proxy how to vote, or otherwise your vote will not be counted. Follow the instructions on the proxy form or online platform to direct your proxy how to vote.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Mr Bevan Slattery as a Director

  • 10 Under rule 19.3(b) of Megaport’s Constitution, no Director who is not a Managing Director may hold office without re-election beyond the third annual general meeting at which the Director was last elected or reelected. ASX Listing Rule 14.4 also states that a director, other than a Managing Director, must not hold office (without re-election) past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or three years, whichever is longer. A Director who retires in accordance with these requirements is eligible for reelection. ASX Listing Rule 14.5 also requires that Megaport hold an election of Directors at each of its annual general meetings.

  • 11 Mr Bevan Slattery was last re-elected at Megaport's 2020 annual general meeting. Mr Slattery will therefore retire at the AGM in accordance with rule 19.3(b) of Megaport's Constitution and ASX Listing Rules 14.4 and 14.5 and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election to the Board.

  • 12 Mr Slattery has been successfully building IT and telecommunications businesses in Australia for nearly 20 years. Mr Slattery’s entrepreneurial success is highlighted in having listed five companies on ASX including PIPE Networks (ASX:PWK), NEXTDC (ASX:NXT), Megaport (ASX:MP1) and Superloop (ASX:SLC). Now the founder and Chief Executive Officer of Soda, Mr Slattery is driving Australian innovation and prosperity through digital infrastructure, environmental sustainability and investment in Australian grown businesses. Mr Slattery has received many industry awards including the EY Champion of Entrepreneurs Award in 2016, the National Charles Todd Medal, and the Pearcey Foundations Benson Award, and he was inducted into the Commsday Hall of Fame in 2017.

  • 13 Mr Slattery is also the Chair of the Board and a member of Megaport's Innovation Committee.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 14 The Directors (with Mr Slattery abstaining) recommend the re-election of Mr Slattery to the Board.

Resolution 3: Ratification of previous grant of RSUs

  • 15 Resolution 3 seeks shareholder approval for the grant of 386,379 RSUs under the ESP for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.4. The ESP was last approved by shareholders at Megaport's 2021 annual general meeting, however since that time, Megaport has granted or issued (as the case may be) the maximum number of Equity Securities set out in Megaport’s notice of 2021 annual general meeting (such that grants and issues under the ESP since that maximum number was reached, including the grant of the RSUs the subject of Resolution 3, have been made in reliance on Megaport’s placement capacity under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 ( Placement Capacity )).

ASX Listing Rule 7.4

  • 16 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that (subject to certain exceptions) prior approval of shareholders is required for an issue of Equity Securities if the Equity Securities will, when aggregated with the Equity Securities issued by Megaport during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period ( 15% Rule ). The grant of the RSUs the subject of Resolution 3 did not exceed Megaport’s Placement Capacity.

  • 17 However, ASX Listing Rule 7.4 provides that where an issue of Equity Securities is ratified by shareholders in general meeting, the issue is treated as having been made with shareholder approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.1, thereby replenishing Megaport’s Placement Capacity and giving it the flexibility to issue further Equity Securities up to that limit during the applicable 12 month period.

Explanatory Memorandum

9

==> picture [93 x 23] intentionally omitted <==

  • 18 Resolution 3 therefore seeks approval from shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 7.4 to ratify the previous grant of 386,379 RSUs.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

  • 19 If Resolution 3 is passed, Megaport’s Placement Capacity will be replenished, which will give it flexibility to issue further Equity Securities during the 12 month period following grant of the RSUs the subject of Resolution 3. If Resolution 3 is not passed, Megaport’s Placement Capacity will not be replenished, which will limit its ability to issue further Equity Securities during the 12 month period following grant of the RSUs the subject of Resolution 3 without first obtaining shareholder approval.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 7.5

  • 20 Pursuant to and in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.5, the following information is provided in relation to Resolution 3:

  • (a) the RSUs the subject of Resolution 3 were granted to employees of the Megaport group who earned a performance incentive bonus for the financial year ended 30 June 2023, with the RSUs being granted in lieu of a cash payment of the performance incentive bonus;

  • (b) the number of RSUs granted was 386,379;

  • (c) a summary of the material terms of the RSUs the subject of Resolution 3 are set out in Annexure A;

  • (d) the RSUs the subject of Resolution 3 were granted on 25 August 2023;

  • (e) the RSUs the subject of Resolution 3 were granted for no consideration;

  • (f) the purpose of the grant of the RSUs the subject of Resolution 3 was to reward employees for meeting performance objectives in the financial year ended 30 June 2023 and to conserve cash by delivering this award via equity remuneration instead of cash; and

  • (g) this Notice of Meeting includes a voting exclusion statement for Resolution 3.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 21 The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 4: Approval of the ESP

  • 22 Resolution 4 seeks shareholder approval of the ESP for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)). The ESP was last approved by shareholders at Megaport's 2021 annual general meeting, however as set out above, since that time, Megaport has granted or issued (as the case may be) the maximum number of Equity Securities set out in Megaport’s notice of 2021 annual general meeting (such that grants and issues under the ESP since that maximum number was reached, including the grant of the RSUs the subject of Resolution 3, have been made in reliance on Megaport’s Placement Capacity).

  • 23 The ESP was established by Megaport to offer eligible participants across Megaport's business the opportunity to become shareholders of Megaport and enhance employee engagement by aligning employees’ interests with Megaport’s performance and the interests of shareholders.

  • 24 Megaport Shares to be allocated under the ESP may be acquired through on-market acquisitions on ASX, or otherwise satisfied by new issues of Megaport Shares by Megaport.

  • 25 A summary of the terms of the ESP is set out in Annexure A.

ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b))

  • 26 ASX Listing Rule 7.1 provides that (subject to certain exceptions) prior approval of shareholders is required for an issue of Equity Securities if the Equity Securities will, when aggregated with the Equity Securities issued by Megaport during the previous 12 months, exceed 15% of the number of securities on issue at the commencement of that 12 month period.

  • 27 Under ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 13(b)), shareholders may approve issues of Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme as an exception to the 15% Rule. This means that Equity Securities issued

under such an employee incentive scheme are not considered for the purposes of calculating the capacity of Megaport to issue Equity Securities under ASX Listing Rule 7.1. This approval continues for three years, at which time it must be renewed, or it will expire. It is only available if and to the extent that the number of Equity Securities issued by Megaport under the ESP does not exceed the maximum number of Equity Securities set out at paragraph 31 below, and will cease to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the ESP from those summarised in Annexure A.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

  • 28 If this Resolution 4 is passed, Megaport can grant or issue Equity Securities under the ESP without such grants or issues counting towards the 15% Rule. If this Resolution 4 is not passed, grants or issues of Equity Securities under the ESP may be made, but must fall within Megaport’s Placement Capacity and be permitted by the 15% Rule at the time of the relevant grant or issue.

  • 29 Whether or not this Resolution 4 is passed, Megaport may, in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 15) acquire Megaport Shares on-market to satisfy the allocation of Megaport Shares under the ESP without shareholder approval. By seeking shareholder approval in respect of this Resolution 4, however, Megaport is seeking flexibility in being able to satisfy, at its discretion, an allocation of Megaport Shares under the ESP by either, or a mixture of, on-market acquisitions on ASX and new issues of Megaport Shares, depending on what may be in the best interests of Megaport at the relevant time, as it seeks to manage its cash position during its growth phase.

Securities issued under the ESP

  • 30 As noted above, the ESP was last approved by shareholders at Megaport's 2021 annual general meeting. Since the ESP was last approved on 22 October 2021, the total number of securities granted or issued (as the case may be) under the ESP is 2,929,820.

  • 31 Subject to the passing of this Resolution 4, a maximum number of 4,692,983 Equity Securities are proposed to be issued or granted by Megaport under the ESP in the following three year period.

Directors’ recommendation

  • 32 The Directors unanimously recommend that you vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolutions 5(a) and 5(b): Grant of PRSUs to Mr Michael Reid (long-term and short-term incentives)

ASX Listing Rule 10.14

  • 33 ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that an ASX-listed company must not permit any of the following persons to acquire Equity Securities under an employee incentive scheme:

  • (a) a director of the company (ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1);

  • (b) an Associate of a director of the company (ASX Listing Rule 10.14.2); or

  • (c) a person whose relationship with the company or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 or ASX Listing Rule 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX's opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its shareholders,

unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

  • 34 The proposed grant of PRSUs to Mr Reid falls within ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 and therefore requires the approval of Megaport's shareholders under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. As such, Resolutions 5(a) and 5(b) seek the required shareholder approval for the grant of 517,680 PRSUs and 460,160 PRSUs to Mr Reid under Megaport's PRSU program (which is administered under the ESP) under and for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

  • 35 Once shareholder approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, Megaport is entitled to rely on ASX Listing Rule 10.12 (Exception 8) as an exception to any requirement that may otherwise apply requiring shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.11. Similarly, shareholder approval will not be required under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, as ASX Listing Rule 7.2 (Exception 14) applies.

Information required by ASX Listing Rule 14.1A

  • 36 If Resolutions 5(a) and 5(b) are passed, the PRSUs will be granted to Mr Reid on the basis set out below. If Resolutions 5(a) and 5(b) are not passed, the PRSUs will not be granted to Mr Reid and Megaport may substitute the grant of PRSUs with payment of a cash amount on similar terms as are proposed for the PRSUs.

- (a) Grant of PRSUs to Mr Michael Reid (long term incentive)

  • 37 The key terms relating to Mr Reid's proposed long-term incentive ( LTI ) grant are outlined below.

Number of PRSUs to be 517,680 PRSUs granted Material terms of the The number of PRSUs has been calculated by dividing Mr Reid’s PRSUs and other maximum LTI PRSU opportunity ($2,250,000) by the VWAP of Megaport information required in Shares over the 10 trading days prior to (and excluding) 28 March 2023, accordance with ASX being the date of execution of Mr Reid’s employment agreement Listing Rule 10.15.6 ($4.346314).

PRSUs have been selected as they provide Megaport Share price alignment between Mr Reid and shareholders without the benefits of Megaport Share ownership until performance conditions are met. The PRSUs will vest on 1 September 2026 subject to meeting the performance conditions outlined below, which will be tested at the end of a three year performance period (1 July 2023 to 30 June 2026) ( Performance Period ).

As Mr Reid was a recent external appointment, the LTI is a larger than normal upfront grant, which will only vest where performance conditions are met. Upon appointment, he did not receive any buy-out awards compensating him for his awards foregone from his previous employer. Consistent with the ASX announcement released on 28 March 2023, the performance measures his LTI award will be assessed against are:

  • Relative TSR (25%);

  • EBITDA target (25%);

  • Revenue growth (25%); and

  • Customer growth (25%).

The targets set will be in-line with Megaport’s long-range corporate plan. Details on specific targets will be disclosed retrospectively in the relevant remuneration report, once the awards have been tested.

- (b) Grant of PRSUs to Mr Michael Reid (short term incentive)

38 The key terms relating to Mr Reid's proposed short-term incentive ( STI ) grant are outlined below.

Number of PRSUs to be 460,160 PRSUs granted

Material terms of the The number of PRSUs has been calculated by dividing Mr Reid’s PRSUs and other maximum STI PRSU opportunity ($2,000,000) by the VWAP of Megaport information required in Shares over the 10 trading days prior to (and excluding) 28 March 2023, accordance with ASX being the date of execution of Mr Reid’s employment agreement Listing Rule 10.15.6 ($4.346314).

PRSUs have been selected as they provide Megaport Share price alignment between Mr Reid and shareholders without the benefits of Megaport Share ownership until performance conditions are met. The PRSUs will vest in three tranches at the end of each financial year

(each, an Assessment Period ).

The relevant Assessment Periods are:

  • Tranche 1 (50% vests): 1 July 2023-30 June 2024;

  • Tranche 2 (25% vests): 1 July 2024-30 June 2025; and

  • Tranche 3 (25% vests): 1 July 2025-30 June 2026.

Shareholder approval is being sought for Mr Reid’s STI awards for the next three financial years, which will only vest where performance conditions are met annually. No additional STI awards will be provided to Mr Reid for the financial years ending 30 June 2025 and 30 June 2026. Consistent with the ASX announcement released on 28 March 2023, the performance measures his STI award will be assessed against are:

  • Relative TSR (25%);

  • EBITDA target (25%);

  • Revenue growth (25%); and

  • Customer growth (25%).

Although these measures are the same as those in the LTI award, these measures will be assessed annually whereas those in the LTI will be assessed at the end of 3 years based on longer term business targets.

These targets will be in-line with the Board approved budget and/or market guidance. Details on specific targets will be disclosed retrospectively in the relevant remuneration report, once the awards have been tested.

i) Relative TSR (25%)

ANNEXURE A

Summary of the material terms of the ESP

Eligibility

The ESP is open to eligible participants (including employees, executives, Directors, consultants and contractors) of Megaport or any one of its subsidiaries who the Board designates as being eligible.

The Board may invite eligible participants to subscribe for or acquire Megaport Shares on such terms and conditions as the Board may determine.

Issue of Megaport Shares

The Board may determine the number of Megaport Shares which the eligible participant may apply for under the ESP, as well as the amount payable (if any) per Megaport Share and any salary sacrifice arrangements and any other terms applicable to Megaport Shares allocated under the ESP.

Subject to the terms of the invitation, Megaport may issue new Megaport Shares or arrange a transfer or purchase of existing Megaport Shares.

Disposal restrictions

Megaport Shares may be subject to disposal restrictions or vesting conditions determined by the Board at the time of the invitation.

While disposal of the Megaport Shares allocated under the ESP are restricted, the relevant participant is entitled to receive all entitlements relating to those Megaport Shares.

Change of control

If there is a change of control of Megaport, the Board may in its discretion determine that the Megaport Shares allocated under the ESP are no longer subject to restriction.

Assignment

Unless the Board determines otherwise, a participant must not transfer or assign any of their rights in restricted Megaport Shares issued under the ESP.

Administration

The ESP will be managed by the Board which has the power to (amongst other things) amend the plan rules for the ESP and/or make and amend additional rules and terms and/or procedures for the operation, control and administration of the ESP and any matter incidental to the ESP.
