Accordingly, share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the meeting.
Voting by Proxy
Sections 250BB and 250BC of the Corporations Act apply to voting by proxy. Shareholders and their proxies should be aware of the requirements under the Corporations Act, as they will apply to this meeting. Broadly:

any directed proxies which are not voted will automatically default to the Chair, who must vote the proxies as directed.
You should seek professional advice if you need any further information on this issue.
In accordance with section 249L of the Corporations Act, members are advised of the following:
-
A shareholder entitled to attend and vote has a right to appoint a proxy to attend and vote instead of the shareholder. A proxy need not be a shareholder and can be either an individual or a representative of a body corporate.
-
A proxy need not vote on a show of hands, however if a proxy does vote on a show of hands, the proxy must vote as directed.
-
A shareholder entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no proportion or number is specifi ed, each proxy may exercise half of the shareholder’s votes. If a shareholder appoints two or more proxies that specify diff erent ways to vote on a resolution, none of the proxies may vote on a show of hands.
-
If an appointed proxy is not also the Chairman of the meeting, the proxy need not vote on a poll, however if the proxy does vote on a poll the proxy must vote as directed by the shareholder. If a poll is conducted and the proxy holder does not vote, the proxy appointment defaults to the Chairman of the meeting to vote as directed.

-
Unless otherwise directed, the Chairman intends to vote all proxies in favour of each item of business.

Important information concerning proxy votes for Resolutions 3, 4(a) and 4(b)
The Corporations Act places certain restrictions on the ability of key management personnel and their closely related parties to vote on the advisory resolution to adopt the Company’s remuneration report and resolutions connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of the Company’s key management personnel. Key management personnel of the Company are the directors of the Company and those other persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing and controlling the activities of the Company, directly or indirectly. Members of key management personnel include directors (both executive and non-executive) and certain senior executives. The Remuneration Report identifi es the Company’s key management personnel for the fi nancial year ended 30 June 2019. Their closely related parties are defi ned in the Corporations Act, and include certain members of their family, dependants and companies they control.
For these reasons, shareholders who intend to vote by proxy should carefully consider the identity of their proxy and are encouraged to direct their proxy as to how to vote on all resolutions. In particular, shareholders who intend to appoint the Chairman of the meeting as their proxy (including an appointment by default) are encouraged to direct the Chairman as to how to vote on all resolutions. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of each of Resolutions 3, 4(a) and 4(b).
If you do appoint the Chairman as your proxy but you do not direct the Chairman how to vote in respect of Resolutions 3, 4(a) and 4(b) by also marking a voting box, your election to appoint the Chairman as your proxy will be deemed to constitute an express authorisation by you directing the Chairman to vote your proxy in favour of each of Resolutions 3, 4(a) and 4(b). This express authorisation acknowledges that the Chairman will vote your proxy even if he or she has an interest in the outcome of Resolutions 3, 4(a) and 4(b) and even if the Resolutions are connected directly or indirectly with remuneration of a member of the key management personnel of the Company and accordingly your votes will be counted in calculating the required majority if a poll is called.
A Proxy Form accompanies this Notice and to be eff ective must be received at least 48 hours before the appointed time of the meeting at the Company’s corporate registry:

Resolution Recommendations
The Directors (excluding, in respect of each resolution, the retiring Director) recommend that shareholders vote in favour of each of the four resolutions set out in Item 2 of the Notice of Meeting.
Item 3 – Remuneration Report
Shareholders are asked to adopt the Company’s Remuneration Report. The Remuneration Report is included in the Directors Report section of the 2019 Annual Report which is also available on the Company’s website at www.mystatelimited.com.au.
The Remuneration Report sets out the remuneration arrangements of the Managing Director and Chief Executive Offi cer (MD & CEO) and specifi ed senior executives.
The Corporations Act requires the agenda for an Annual General Meeting to include a resolution that the Remuneration Report be put to the vote. Should 25% or more of the votes cast on this resolution (whether in person or by proxy) to approve the Remuneration Report be against approval of that report, then at the 2020 Annual General Meeting the resolution to approve next year’s Remuneration Report must be approved by more than 75% of the votes cast to avoid a further resolution being put to the 2020 Annual General Meeting to hold a special meeting within 90 days to consider a spill of the non-executive directors on the Board and the appointment of persons to offi ces that will be vacated as a result of the spill.
A reasonable opportunity for discussion of, and comment on, the Remuneration Report will be provided by the Chairman at the Annual General Meeting.
Resolution Recommendation
Noting that each Director has a personal interest in his or her own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration report, the Directors recommend that shareholders vote in favour of the resolution to adopt the Remuneration Report.
Item 4 – Approval of Managing Director and Chief Executive Offi cer’s Participation in the Executive Long Term Incentive Plan (ElTIP)
Introduction
The Company seeks approval from shareholders to:
-
(a) “Issue shares to the MD & CEO, Mr Melos Sulicich under the 2016 ELTIP Off er approved by Shareholders at the 2016 AGM; and
-
(b) Off er Mr Sulicich participation in the 2019 ELTIP.
In respect of Item 4(a), shareholders approved the participation of Mr Sulicich in the 2016 ELTIP at the 2016 AGM. The 2016 ELTIP off er included the issue of up to 69,951 fully paid ordinary shares at a volume weighted average price of the Company’s shares of $4.11 calculated on the 20 trading days beginning 1 July 2016. The issue of any shares under the 2016 ELTIP to the benefi t of Mr Sulicich was subject to formal assessment of the company’s performance over the three year period (the ‘performance period’) to 30 June 2019. The Company has now completed the formal assessment under the 2016 ELTIP and, for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and Exception 9 in ASX Listing Rule 7.2 and for all other purposes, seeks approval to issue 18,257 fully paid ordinary shares in the Company under the 2016 ELTIP for the benefi t of Mr Sulicich.
In respect of Item 4(b), the Company seeks approval to off er a yet to be determined number of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company up to a maximum of 68,071 calculated by dividing $312,500 (being 50% of total fi xed reward) by $4.5908 being the weighted average price of the Company’s shares over the 20 trading days beginning 1 July 2019. The three year performance period for the shares in respect of the 2019 ELTIP off er will be 1 July 2019 – 30 June 2022.
The shares would only be issued under this off er if approval for the purposes of ASX Listing Rules 7.1 and 10.14 is subsequently given at a future meeting of the Company’s shareholders. The General explanations of the MD & CEO’s remuneration arrangements were previously released to the Australian Securities Exchange.
The resolutions set out in Item 4(a) and 4(b) are in accordance with the Company’s total remuneration arrangements for the MD & CEO, as described in the following section. The Company’s Remuneration Policy is also available on the Company’s website.

Explanatory Memorandum
Basis of Employment of the Managing Director and Chief Executive Offi cer
To assist in achieving the objectives of the Company, the Group People and Remuneration Committee (GPC) links the nature and amount of the MD & CEO’s emoluments to the Company’s fi nancial and operational performance. The remuneration of the MD & CEO may comprise one or more of the following:
-
Total fi xed reward (inclusive of superannuation and fringe benefi ts) ( TFR );
-
Cash based short term incentive ( STI ); and
-
Equity based long term incentives ( ELTIP ).
i. Fixed Annual Remuneration
The TFR is paid by way of cash salary, superannuation and fringe benefi ts and is reviewed annually by the GPC. The Company seeks regular advice from relevant external consultants to ensure that the MD & CEO’s remuneration is competitive in the marketplace.
ii. Cash based short term incentive
The STI is calculated as a percentage of the TFR and is payable annually in respect of each fi nancial year as cash and/or superannuation contributions. The maximum STI that may be awarded to the MD & CEO is 50% of TFR. Payment of STI is conditional upon the achievement of pre-determined performance criteria tailored to the respective role and is at the absolute discretion of the Board.
In order for the shares to vest, certain performance criteria must be satisfi ed within a predetermined performance period. Both the performance criteria and the performance period are set by the Board, at its absolute discretion. The Board has, for the time being, set the three fi nancial years, commencing with the year in which an off er is made under the plan as the performance period, with relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) and absolute Return on Equity (ROE) as the performance criteria.
The issue of fully paid ordinary shares in the Company is made only if performance criteria specifi ed by the Board are satisfi ed. Payment of a portion of the variable remuneration (that is, remuneration conditional on the achievement of pre-determined objectives) to the MD & CEO will be deferred by the Company as required by the Banking Executive Accountability Regime and the ELTIP rules.
2019 ELTIP Off er
The 2019 ELTIP off er (including the proposed off er to the MD & CEO) will have a three year performance period commencing 1 July 2019 and ending on 30 June 2022.
Each year, the Board approves the Key Performance Indicators ( KPIs ) for the MD & CEO following a recommendation from the GPC. The GPC selects performance objectives which provide a robust link between reward and the key drivers of shareholder value.
iii. ELTIP
The ELTIP was established by the Board to reward senior executives for achieving the Company’s longer term objectives. An ELTIP off er may be made to the MD & CEO every year as determined by the Board.
The maximum value of any ELTIP off er to the MD & CEO is 50% of TFR and is at the absolute discretion of the Board. The value of the off er is converted into fully paid ordinary shares based upon the weighted average price of the Company’s shares over a twenty trading day period to be determined by the Board.
8
Explanatory Memorandum
Any reward payable to the MD & CEO under any ELTIP off er will be calculated as follows:
| Opportunity | • 50% the opportunity is determined by reference to the relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR), where the company’s performance is measured against the performance of the S&P/ASX 300 Index (ASX 300) • 50% of the opportunity is determined by reference to the post tax underlying Return on Equity (ROE) |
• 50% the opportunity is determined by reference to the relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR), where the company’s performance is measured against the performance of the S&P/ASX 300 Index (ASX 300) • 50% of the opportunity is determined by reference to the post tax underlying Return on Equity (ROE) |
|---|---|---|
| TSR Component | Compares MYS TSR vs ASX 300 | |
| If MYS TSR = Median ASX 300 | 50% of opportunity vests | |
| If MYS TSR between median and 75% | Opportunity vests pro rata on a straight line basis between 50% and 100% |
|
| If MYS TSR = 75% ASX 300 | 100% of opportunity vests | |
| ROE Component | The Board has set the underlying ROE target in the range 30.00% to 31.50% | |
| If aggregate underlying ROE = 30.00% | 50% of opportunity vests | |
| If aggregate underlying ROE between 30% and 31.50% |
Opportunity vests pro rata on a straight line basis between 50% and 100% |
|
| If aggregate underlying ROE = 31.50% | 100% of opportunity vests |

Details of any securities issued under the ELTIP will be published in each annual report of the Company relating to a period in which securities have been issued, and approval for the issue of securities was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 to the extent required. Any additional persons, subject to approval requirements under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, who become entitled to participate in the ELTIP after the approval of Resolution 4(b) and who were not named in this notice of meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

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 meeting 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.
