4. Shareholder Approvals Required

Resolution 1: Re-election of Director – Mr John Rubino

Mr Calogero Giovanni Battista Rubino retires by rotation in accordance with clause 11.3 of the Company’s Constitution and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Mr Rubino was appointed to the Board on 18 January 1991 as Managing Director. On 30 May 2003, Mr Rubino resigned as Managing Director and continued as Executive Chairman of the Board, a role he still holds. He has 53 years of experience in the construction and engineering services industry. Mr Rubino was last re-elected as a Director of the Company at the 2016 Annual General Meeting. Mr Rubino is chair of the Company’s Nomination Committee.

Noting Mr Rubino’s thorough knowledge of the industry, the Company and the Company’s stakeholders, the Board (other than Mr Rubino) has determined (after reference to, amongst other things, the Company’s Board skills matrix, the past performance of Mr Rubino and the current and future needs of the Company) that Mr Rubino:

  • has demonstrated commitment and dedication in his role as Executive Chairman;

  • has made and continues to make a significant and valuable contribution to the Board and the quality of its decision making; and

  • contributes to the mix of skills and other attributes required of the Board to effectively execute the Company’s strategy.

The Board (other than Mr Rubino, who abstained) therefore unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Mr Rubino’s re-election.

Resolution 2: Re-election of Director – Mr Dietmar Voss

Mr Dietmar Robert Voss was appointed as a Director by the Board on 10 March 2014. Mr Voss retires as a Director of the Company by rotation in accordance with clause 11.3 of the Company’s Constitution and, being eligible, offers himself for re-election.

Mr Voss is a Chemical Engineer, has a Masters of Business Administration, in addition to science and law degrees, and is a member of the Australian Institute of Company Directors. Mr Voss has 43 years’ experience in the oil and gas, and mining and minerals industries throughout Australia, the United States, Europe, the Middle East and Africa. Mr Voss was last re-elected as a Director of the Company at the 2017 Annual General Meeting. Mr Voss is a member of the Company’s Audit Committee, Remuneration Committee and its Nomination Committee.

The Board considers Mr Voss to be an independent Director.

The Board (other than Mr Voss) has determined (after reference to, amongst other things, the Company’s Board skills matrix, the past performance of Mr Voss and the current and future needs of the Company) that Mr Voss:

  • has demonstrated commitment and dedication to his role;

  • has made and continues to make a significant and valuable contribution to the Board and the quality of its decision making; and

  • contributes to the mix of skills and other attributes required of the Board to effectively execute the Company’s strategy.

The Board (other than Mr Voss, who abstained) therefore unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Mr Voss’s re-election.

Notice of Annual General Meeting

Resolution 3: Re-election of Director – Ms Susan Murphy

Ms Susan Lee Murphy was appointed as a Director by the Board (pursuant to clause 11.11 of the Company’s Constitution) on 11 June 2019. Any director appointed under clause 11.11 only holds office until the next Annual General Meeting of the Company. Accordingly, Ms Murphy retires as a Director of the Company in accordance with clause 11.12 of the Company’s Constitution and, being eligible, offers herself for re-election. As a new Director, and as contemplated by the ASX Corporate Governance Council Principles and Recommendations, Ms Murphy underwent background checks prior to her appointment in June 2019.

Ms Murphy has over 35 years’ experience in senior operational and corporate leadership roles in the resources and infrastructure sectors. Holding a Bachelor of Civil Engineering from the University of Western Australia, Ms Murphy commenced as a Graduate Engineer with Clough Engineering in 1980. She went on to enjoy a 25 year career with Clough, progressing through a wide range of operational and leadership roles before being appointed to the Board of Clough Engineering Ltd in 1998.

Ms Murphy joined the Water Corporation of Western Australia in 2004 as the General Manager of Planning and Infrastructure, before being appointed as Chief Executive Officer in 2008, a role she held for over a decade.

During her time at the Water Corporation, Ms Murphy was responsible for managing an asset base in excess of $30 billion and delivering almost $1 billion of capital works on an annual basis. She has a strong track record in the fields of project delivery and stakeholder management, with a strong focus on productivity improvement.

Ms Murphy has received many accolades throughout her career including being awarded the prestigious Sir John Holland Civil Engineer of the Year Award by the Board of the College of Civil Engineers, and is an Honorary Fellow of the Institution of Engineers Australia. She was recognised for her work in water infrastructure with the International Water Association’s 2014 Women in Water award and was recently announced as the 2018/19 West Australian Business Leader of the Year at the AIM WA Pinnacle Awards.

She is currently a Director of the West Australian Treasury Corporation, a Director of the Fremantle Dockers Football Club and serves as a Senate Member of the University of Western Australia.

Ms Murphy’s breadth of experience in corporate governance, capital works development and productivity improvement will further enhance the Company’s strategic capability, and enable Monadelphous to continue to grow and provide value for shareholders.

Ms Murphy has been appointed as a member of the Company’s Audit Committee, Remuneration Committee and its Nomination Committee.

The Board considers Ms Murphy to be an independent Director.

The Board (other than Ms Murphy) has determined (after reference to, amongst other things, the Company’s board skills matrix, the past performance of Ms Murphy and the current and future needs of the Company) that Ms Murphy:

  • has skills, attributes and experience that will be important to the Company in order for it to effectively execute its strategy; and

  • has already made a significant and valuable contribution to the Board since her appointment.

The Board (other than Ms Murphy, who abstained) therefore unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Ms Murphy’s re-election.

Resolution 4: Fees to Non-Executive Directors

In accordance with Clause 11.15 of the Company’s Constitution and ASX Listing Rule 10.17, Shareholder approval is sought to increase the maximum aggregate amount of directors’ fees per annum that may be paid by the Company to its Non-Executive Directors (“ Fee Pool ”) by $100,000, from $750,000 per annum to $850,000 per annum.

Under the ASX Listing Rules, the term “directors’ fees” includes committee fees, superannuation contributions and fees which a director sacrifices for other benefits, but does not include reimbursement of genuine out-of-pocket expenses, genuine “special exertion” fees or securities issued to Non-Executive Directors with approval of Shareholders in accordance with the ASX Listing Rules.

The Directors are seeking Shareholder approval to increase the Fee Pool for the following reasons:

  • As a result of the diversification of the Company over recent years, the Directors continue to review the size and composition of the Board. The increase in the Fee Pool will provide the Board with the ability to appoint additional directors with the requisite skills and experience as appropriate; and

  • The increase will ensure that the Company maintains the ability to pay Non-Executive Directors remuneration at levels commensurate with market rates and as necessary to attract and retain directors of the highest calibre.

The level of Non-Executive Directors’ remuneration is reviewed annually to ensure alignment with the market. The Directors are satisfied that the proposed Fee Pool will be within the average bands applying to companies within the Company’s industry that are of similar size, profitability, growth and risk profiles and that the proposed increase is appropriate for the reasons set out above. The Fee Pool was last increased following shareholder approval at the Annual General Meeting held on 22 November 2016.

No securities have been issued to any Non-Executive Director of the Company under ASX Listing Rules 10.11 or 10.14 at any time within the last three years.

Additional information regarding the remuneration paid to each Non-Executive Director for the financial year ended 30 June 2019, and the Company’s approach to the remuneration of Non-Executive Directors, is set out in the Remuneration Report.

With Non-Executive Directors noting their interest in this matter, the Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolution 5: Grant of Performance Rights to Managing Director

Mr Velletri has 40 years of experience in the construction and engineering services industry. He was appointed to the Board in August 1992 and commenced as Managing Director of the Company in May 2003.

It is proposed that Mr Velletri (or his nominee) be issued with up to a maximum of 19,310 performance rights under, and pursuant to the terms and conditions set out in, the Monadelphous Group Limited Combined Reward Plan (CR Plan) for the year ended 30 June 2019 and the related Monadelphous Group Limited Performance Rights Plan Rules. The issue of performance rights to Mr Velletri (or his nominee) is designed to recognise and reward Mr Velletri’s contribution to the success of the Company with a reward that is aligned to the creation of shareholder wealth over time and that (by being dependent on continuity of employment and by incorporating disposal restrictions) is designed to promote long term retention and encourage long term share ownership.

ASX Listing Rule 10.11 provides that a company must not issue equity securities (including performance rights) to a Director or their associates without the approval of shareholders. Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval to issue performance rights to Mr Velletri.

Awards under the CR Plan for the year ended 30 June 2019 will be issued wholly in the form of performance rights (i.e. no cash component), with Mr Velletri’s total award equalling $296,800. The number of performance rights to be granted is calculated by using the arithmetic average of the ten-day daily volume weighted average market price of the Company’s shares commencing on the second trading day after the record date in respect of the 2019 final dividend, which is $15.37. This calculation is the same as that used to determine the undiscounted share price for the dividend reinvestment plan.

Notice of Annual General Meeting

Resolution 5: Grant of Performance Rights to Managing Director (Continued)

The performance rights vest into shares in equal instalments, one, two and three years subsequent to award, subject to Mr Velletri remaining in the employ of the Company at those particular dates. The performance rights will vest and result in an issue (or transfer) of shares at those dates, with one share issued or transferred for each vested performance right. No amount is payable by Mr Velletri upon the vesting of performance rights or the issue or transfer of resultant shares. The total number of shares acquired by Mr Velletri will be subject to escrow restrictions until the opening of the share trading window (in accordance with the Company’s Share Trading Policy) following the release of the financial results for the year ended 30 June 2022, in or around August 2022.

A summary of the key terms of the performance rights is set out in Appendix A to this Explanatory Memorandum and details of the performance rights issued will be published in the 2020 Annual Report.

As the performance rights will be issued for nil consideration, no funds will be raised from the issue of the performance rights (or from the award of shares upon vesting of performance rights).

The performance rights will be issued to Mr Velletri as soon as is practicable, and in any event within one month of the date of the Meeting.

If Shareholders approve the issue of the performance rights under Listing Rule 10.11, approval is not separately required under Listing Rule 7.1 (which Listing Rule provides that a listed company must not issue equity securities representing more than 15% of its issued capital in any 12 month period unless the issue is approved by shareholders or fits within an exception). Accordingly, if Shareholders approve Resolution 5, the 19,310 performance rights (or any shares issued upon exercise of those performance rights) will not count towards the Company’s 15% capacity to issue securities for the purposes of Listing Rule 7.1.

The Board (with the exception of Mr Velletri, given his interest in the matter) acknowledges the outstanding contribution that Mr Velletri has made and will continue to make to the Company, and therefore recommends Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 5.

Resolution 6: Adoption of Remuneration Report

Section 300A of the Corporations Act requires the Directors to include a Remuneration Report in the Directors’ Report for a financial year. Section 250R(2) requires that the Remuneration Report be put to the vote at the Company’s Annual General Meeting.

In accordance with the Corporations Act, the vote on Resolution 6 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors or the Company. However, under the “two strikes” rule, the Company will be required to put a resolution to Shareholders to hold new elections for Directors if, at two consecutive annual general meetings, more than 25% of the votes cast on a resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report (such as Resolution 6) are cast against that resolution. Accordingly, if 25% or more of the votes cast at the Meeting on Resolution 6 are against that Resolution and if, at the next annual general meeting in 2020, 25% or more of the votes are again cast against the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report, then the Company will be required to propose a resolution to hold another general meeting within the following 90 days (a “Spill Meeting”). If more than 50% of Shareholders vote in favour of this resolution, then at the Spill Meeting all Directors (other than a Managing Director) will cease to hold office immediately before the end of the Spill Meeting, but may, if eligible, stand for re-election at the Spill Meeting. Following the Spill Meeting, those persons whose election or re-election as Directors is approved would be the Directors of the Company.

Key Management Personnel, details of whose remuneration are included in the Remuneration Report, and their closely related parties, are prohibited from voting on Resolution 6, except in the circumstances described in the voting exclusion set out in the Notice of Annual General Meeting.

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the Board recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of the adoption of the Remuneration Report.

5. Questions

Shareholders are invited to put any questions to the Company in writing before the Meeting using the attached form at Appendix B. Submitting a question in advance of the Meeting does not in any way limit your ability to ask questions in person at the Annual General Meeting.
