Notice of Annual General Meeting

Annual Report

Monash IVF Group Annual Report is accessible via the website www.monashivfgroup.com

Eligibility to Attend and Vote

For the purpose of attending or voting at the AGM, shares will be taken to be held by the persons who are registered holders at 7.00pm (AEDT) on Tuesday 22 November 2016. Accordingly, share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the AGM.

Voting by Proxy

In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), a shareholder may attend the AGM and vote in person or may appoint a proxy to attend and vote on the shareholder’s behalf.

A member who is entitled to attend but prefers to use a proxy vote may appoint no more than two proxies. If two proxies are appointed the proportion of votes each proxy is entitled to exercise must be specified. If no proportion or vote number is specified, each proxy may exercise half the number of votes.

A proxy does not need to be a Shareholder. A body corporate appointed as a member’s proxy may appoint a representative to exercise any of the powers the body may exercise as a proxy at the AGM. The representative must bring to the AGM a properly executed letter or other document confirming that they are authorised to act as the Corporate shareholder’s representative.

If a Shareholder has not directed the proxy on how to vote, the proxy may vote as the proxy deems fit, and similarly if the Shareholder appoints the Chair of the AGM as proxy but does not direct the Chair on how to vote on an item, the Chair will vote in accordance with his voting intention as stated, namely in favour of each of the proposed resolutions set out in the Notice of Meeting.

To be effective, the proxy form (and, if the appointment is signed by the appointer’s attorney, the authority under which it was signed or a certified copy of the authority) must be received by the Company’s share registry, Link Market Services Limited by no later than 48 hours prior to the commencement of the Annual General Meeting (2.00pm (AEDT) Tuesday 22 November 2016).

Proxy voting by the Chair

The Chairman intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of all proposed resolutions. In the event that there is a change to the Chairman’s intention to vote it will be announced on the Monash IVF Group website before the AGM. The Chairman’s decision on how to vote on all occasions is conclusive.

Where the Chair is appointed as a Shareholder’s proxy on Item 2, 4 and 5 (or he becomes your proxy by default) and the Shareholder has not specified the way in which the Chair is to vote on Item 2, 4 and 5, the Shareholder is directing the Chair to vote in accordance with the Chair’s voting intentions for these items of business.

Corporate Representatives

A corporation may elect to appoint an individual to act as its representative in accordance with section 250D of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) in which case the Company will require a Certificate of Appointment of Corporate Representative executed in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth). The Certificate must be lodged with the Company before the AGM or at the registration desk on the day of the AGM. The Company will retain the certificate.

Neil is qualified as a Chartered Accountant and holds a BSC (Eng) Honours degree from Imperial College, University of London.

Item 4 – Approval of long term incentive grant of performance rights to the CEO under the FY2016 executive long term incentive plans

Pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.14, the Company is seeking shareholder approval for the grant of performance rights to Mr James Thiedeman, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer (MD and CEO), as part of his Long Term Incentive (LTI) award for FY16.

Subject to shareholder approval, the performance rights will be granted under Monash IVF Group’s LTI Plan immediately following this meeting, and in any event no later than 12 months after this meeting.

Key terms of the FY16 LTI grant

The LTI Plan is designed to align the interests of the MD & CEO with the interests of shareholders by providing the opportunity to receive an equity interest in Monash IVF Group through the granting of performance rights.

Mr Thiedeman will be granted 163,425 performance rights, which have been determined by dividing Mr Thiedeman’s LTI opportunity ($203,863) by the volume weighted average share price of Monash IVF Group’s shares traded on the ASX on the 10 trading days following the announcement of the FY2015 financial results.

As the performance rights will form part of Mr Thiedeman’s remuneration, they will be granted at no cost and there will be no amount payable on vesting. Each performance right entitles Mr Thiedeman to one ordinary share in the Company on vesting. Prior to vesting, performance rights do not entitle Mr Thiedeman to any dividends or voting rights.

There was no grant of awards to Mr Thiedeman for the FY16 period at the 2015 AGM as there was a desire to harmonise the structure with recently appointed KMPs.

Performance conditions

The LTI performance rights are granted in two tranches with each tranche subject to separate vesting conditions based upon external measures as follows:

  • Tranche one – 50% of the performance rights will be subject to a Basic Earnings Per Share (EPS) hurdle. No vesting occurs up to a threshold level EPS of 10% per annum.

  • Tranche two – 50% of the performance rights will be subject to a Relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) hurdle relative to the ASX300 Healthcare Accumulation Index (Index). No vesting occurs if the TSR is less than the Index performance.

Explanatory Notes (cont.)

TSR growth is calculated based on the closing Share price, adjusted for dividends and capital movements, as at the start of the performance period and the end of the performance period.

These hurdles and vesting schedules are set out below:

Tranche one:
Basic EPS Performance
(50% weighting)
Tranche two:
Relative TSR Performance
(50% weighting)
Portion of performance
rights that will vest against
relevant target
Less than 10% per annum Less than Index Nil
Equal to 10% per annum Equal to Index 20%
Greater than 10% per annum, Greater than Index, Straight line vesting between
up to the maximum target up to the maximum target 20% and 100%
At or above the maximum target At or above Index returns +5% 100%
on an annualised basis

Testing of the performance conditions

The performance period will run from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2018.

Tranche one: EPS

The hurdle for 50% of the rights is based on an earnings per share hurdle which measures the compound growth of the Company’s basic earnings per share (‘EPS’) over a three year period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2018. Basic EPS is subject to audit applying the requirements of Australian Accounting Standard AASB 133. The base EPS is the FY2015 EPS of 9.2c. No vesting occurs up to a threshold level of EPS growth of 10% per annum. Twenty percent will vest at threshold performance, 100% will vest at maximum performance, with pro rata vesting between threshold and maximum.

The target and threshold hurdle are set with reference to the Board’s expectations of long term growth and the forward market consensus. In FY16 EPS performance requirements were set to encourage executive KMP’s in the undertaking of judicious merger and acquisition to expand Monash’s footprint domestically and internationally. Further details of EPS growth requirements and the proportion of the grants that vest (if any) will be disclosed in FY2019.

Tranche two: TSR

The hurdle for the other 50% of the rights is based on the Company’s total shareholder return (‘TSR’) relative to the ASX300 Healthcare Accumulation Index (Index) from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2018. In respect of this tranche, no performance rights will vest if the TSR performance is less than the Index performance. Twenty percent will vest at threshold performance when TSR equals Index returns, 100% vest at maximum performance if TSR equals Index returns +5% on an annualised basis, with pro rata vesting between threshold and maximum. TSR is calculated based on the closing share price, adjusted for dividends and capital movements, as at the start of the performance period and the end of the performance period. In FY16 the Board has redefined the TSR reference peer group to the Index as it is considered a more transparent and readily available measure, whilst including an increased range of companies with similar business characteristics to the Company.

All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of voting rights are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid.

APPOINTMENT OF A SECOND PROXY

You are entitled to appoint up to two persons as proxies to attend the Meeting and vote on a poll. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by telephoning the Company’s share registry or you may copy this form and return them both together.
