Notes Relating to Voting

Entitlement to vote

  1. In accordance with Regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001, the Board has determined that persons who are registered holders of shares in the Company as at 7:00pm AEDT on Wednesday, 15 December 2021 will be entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting as a shareholder. Share transfers registered after that time will be disregarded in determining entitlements to attend and vote at the Meeting.

  2. If more than one joint holder of shares attends the Meeting (whether personally, by proxy, by attorney or by representative) and tenders a vote, only the vote of the joint holder whose first name appears first on the register will be counted.

Exercising your right to vote

  1. Voting on all resolutions will be conducted by a poll.

The poll will be conducted live and online during the Meeting using the Lumi platform.

The Chairman of the Meeting will open the poll at the beginning of the Meeting and the poll will remain open until the close of the Meeting.

On a poll, shareholders have one vote for every fully paid ordinary share held (subject to restrictions on voting referred to above).

On a poll, if:

  • a shareholder has appointed a proxy (other than the Chairman of the Meeting) and the appointment of the proxy specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and

  • that shareholder’s proxy is either not recorded as attending the Meeting or does not vote on the resolution,

the Chairman of the Meeting will, before voting on the resolution closes, be taken to have been appointed as the proxy for the shareholder for the purposes of voting on that resolution and must vote in accordance with the written direction of that shareholder.

Shareholders are encouraged to submit their vote in advance of the Meeting by appointing a proxy at www.investorvote.com.au by 10:00am (AEDT) on Wednesday 15 December 2021.

Proxies

  1. A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the Meeting can appoint a proxy to attend and vote on their behalf. Instructions on how to appoint a proxy are on the online voting website, www.investorvote.com.au.

  2. A proxy need not be a Shareholder of Nufarm and may be an individual or a body corporate. If you are entitled to cast two or more votes, you may appoint two proxies and may specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise. If you appoint two proxies and do not specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise, each of the proxies may exercise half of the votes.

  3. If you choose to appoint a proxy, you are encouraged to direct your proxy on how to vote by marking the ‘for’, ‘against’ or ‘abstain’ box on the Proxy Form. Your proxy may only exercise your vote in the manner you have directed. If no direction is given, the proxy may vote as it sees fit, subject to any voting restrictions applicable to the proxy. Unless the Chairman of the Meeting is your proxy, members of the

Company’s KMP (which includes each of the Directors) will not be able to vote as proxy on Items 2 or 4 unless you direct them how to vote. If you intend to appoint any of those persons as your proxy, you should ensure that you direct that person how to vote on Items 2 and 4.

  1. Appointed proxies will need to contact Computershare to obtain a username and password to vote online. Further details are available in the online meeting guide available at www.computershare.com.au/virtualmeetingguide.

Proxy voting by the Chairman

  1. If you appoint the Chairman of the Meeting as your proxy or the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy by default, and you do not direct the Chairman of the Meeting how to vote on Items 2 or 4, then by completing and returning the relevant Proxy Form you will be expressly authorising the Chairman of the Meeting to exercise your undirected proxy on the resolution even though it may be directly or indirectly connected with the remuneration of a member of the KMP. If you do not direct the Chairman of the Meeting how to vote on an item of business, the Chairman as your proxy intends to vote IN FAVOUR of all Resolutions.

==> picture [129 x 107] intentionally omitted <==

Item 3: Election of David Jones

David Jones, having been appointed on 23 June 2021, retires in accordance with rule 8.1(c) of the Company’s constitution and being eligible, is standing for election.

Information about David Jones is set out below:

David Jones, BA (Hons) Science, PhD

David joined the Board on 23 June 2021 as a Non-executive Director and was appointed Chairman of the Innovation Committee in July 2021.

David has extensive leadership experience having held Chairman and Director roles in large global agricultural businesses. His experience includes as Head of Business Development at Syngenta and former Chairman of Zeneca China, Arysta Life Science, and Plant Impact. David’s broad executive leadership experience in operations, strategy, mergers and acquisitions and intellectual property in multiple jurisdictions including Asia, Latin America, Europe and the United States adds to the Board’s experience and expertise.

David is also Chairman of Enko Chem Inc and of BigSis.

In respect of David Jones’s appointment, he was identified as a suitably qualified candidate to be appointed as a Director with the requisite skills and experience required by the Board. Extensive background and screening checks were undertaken prior to his appointment by the Board. These checks did not reveal any information of concern. David does not have any interest, position or relationship that might influence, or reasonably be perceived to influence in a material respect his capacity to bring an independent judgement to bear on issues before the board and to act in the best interests of Nufarm.

The Board supports David’s election because the Board considers David’s extensive experience in global agricultural companies enhances the Board’s ability to oversee Nufarm’s performance and governance, in particular in relation to his role as Chairman of the Innovation Committee.

The Board considers that David Jones is an independent Director.

Directors’ Recommendation

The Board, with David Jones abstaining in relation to his election, unanimously support and recommend the election of David Jones.

d. Item 4: Grant of Deferred Rights to the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer

Item 4 set out in the Notice of AGM seeks approval to the proposed issue of Deferred Rights to Mr Greg Hunt, the Company’s Managing Director and CEO, in accordance with the terms of the Short Term Incentive Plan (STIP).

FY21 STIP award

The Board considers that it is in the best interests of shareholders to provide the Managing Director and CEO with equity-based incentives to ensure there is alignment between satisfactory returns to shareholders and reward to Mr Hunt as an executive Director. The Company uses Deferred Rights because they create alignment between executives and ordinary shareholders but do not provide the executives with the full benefits of share ownership (such as dividend and voting rights) unless and until the Rights vest. As the Deferred Rights form part of Mr Hunt’s remuneration, they will be issued for nil consideration.

As disclosed in the Remuneration Report, in FY2021, Mr Hunt’s remuneration package includes three components being fixed annual remuneration (‘FAR’), a long term incentive opportunity and a short term incentive opportunity consisting of a 50 per cent cash payment and a 50 per cent grant of Deferred Rights.

Mr Hunt participated in the STIP in FY2021 and was assessed against an annual scorecard comprising Group Underlying Earnings Before Interest and Tax, Group Average Net Working Capital/Sales, reduction in Group cash SG&A as well as non-financial objectives.

As outlined in the Remuneration Report, Mr Hunt achieved 141 per cent of his target opportunity. This means the value of his FY2021 STIP award will be $1,395,531, which will be delivered 50 per cent in cash and 50 per cent in Deferred Rights. Vesting of the Deferred Rights is subject to a two year service period.

Approvals sought

Shareholders are asked to approve the issue of the 2021 STIP Deferred Rights to the Managing Director and CEO, Mr Greg Hunt. Approval is sought under ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 to grant the Deferred Rights to Mr Hunt as he is a director of Nufarm Limited.

The Chairman intends to vote all available proxies in favour of these Resolutions.

continued Explanatory Notes of Meeting

Key Terms

The key terms of the grant of STIP Deferred Rights proposed to be made to Mr Hunt in respect of the 2021 STIP award are set out below.

==> picture [499 x 524] intentionally omitted <==

----- Start of picture text -----

|||
|---|---|
|Number allocated|The number of STIP Deferred Rights to be granted to Mr Hunt will be determined following the|
|announcement of the 2021 full year results on 17 November 2021 by dividing the face value of the|
|deferred component of the STIP award (i.e. $697,766) by the volume weighted average price of Nufarm|
|Shares over five days following the 2021 full year results announcement on 17 November 2021,|
|i.e. 18 November to 24 November 2021. The final amount to be granted will be advised to shareholders|
|via the ASX markets announcement platform by 26 November 2021.|
|For example: If the volume weighted average price over the period from 18 November to|
|24 November 2021 is $4.50, then the number of Deferred Rights to be granted to Mr Hunt will be|
|155,060 (i.e. $697,766 divided by $4.50).|
|Date of Grant|If shareholder approval is obtained, it is intended the STIP Deferred Rights will be granted to Mr Hunt|
|as soon as possible following the conclusion of the Annual General Meeting on 17 December 2021.|
|In any event, they will be granted within 12 months of receiving shareholder approval.|
|Cash Consideration|The STIP Deferred Rights will be issued to Mr Hunt for no cash consideration.|
|Terms of Vesting|The STIP Deferred Rights will only vest if Mr Hunt remains in continual employment for two years|
|following the grant of the Deferred Rights, subject to the below.|
|Deferred Rights that have not vested will automatically lapse if Mr Hunt ceases to be employed by the|
|Company (whether temporarily or otherwise and whether voluntarily or otherwise) in circumstances|
|other than death, total and permanent disability, retirement over the age of 60 years, contract|
|severance by the Company without cause, retrenchment or such other reason determined by the|
|Board (‘Qualifying Reason’).|
|On vesting of a Deferred Right, Mr Hunt will be entitled to receive one ordinary share for no|
|consideration. Ordinary shares to be allocated on vesting and exercise of any Deferred Rights may be|
|satisfied by the issue of new ordinary shares or acquired on market. All new ordinary shares will rank,|
|in all respects, equally with all other ordinary shares and the Company will apply for quotation of the|
|new ordinary shares on ASX.|
|Clawback|Deferred Rights which have not vested may be clawed back where in the opinion of the Board Mr Hunt|
|has obtained or will obtain, an unfair benefit as a result of an act which:|
|a. constitutes fraud of dishonest or gross misconduct in relation to the affairs of the Group;|
|b. brings the Group into disrepute;|
|c. is in breach of his obligations to the Group including compliance with any applicable Company Policy;|
|d. constitutes a failure to perform any other act reasonably and lawfully requested of him; or|
|e. has the effect of delivering strong Company performance in a manner which is unsustainable or|
|involves unacceptably high risk, and results or is likely to result in a detrimental impact on Company|
|performance following the end of the period.|
|Change of Control|Deferred Rights may be capable of accelerated vesting in the event of a takeover bid or scheme|
|of arrangement resulting in a change of control of the Company.|
|Dividends and other|STIP Deferred Rights do not carry any entitlement to vote, receive dividends or have any other rights|
|distributions|of a Shareholder in respect of the rights until the Deferred Rights vest and ordinary shares are allocated|
|to Mr Hunt.|

For the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.15.4, Mr Hunt’s current total remuneration is as follows:
• Fixed annual remuneration (FAR) of $1,319,688
• Target variable incentive opportunity under the STIP of 75 per cent of FAR, which if awarded
is delivered 50 per cent cash and 50 per cent Deferred Rights;
• A maximum variable incentive opportunity under the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) of 75 per cent
of FAR delivered in LTIP Deferred Rights.
Noting that for FY2021 there has been no grant of any LTIP Deferred Rights and the grant of STIP
Deferred Rights will be granted subject to shareholder approval as set out in this Notice of Meeting.
If shareholder approval is not obtained, the Board will consider alternative arrangements to
appropriately remunerate and incentivise Mr Hunt, including a cash-based incentive.
Further information on Mr Hunt’s remuneration is set out in the Remuneration Report on pages 55 to 74
of the 2021 Annual Report.
Details of any STIP Deferred Rights issued under the STIP will be published in the Nufarm Annual
Report relating to the period in which they were issued, along with a statement that approval for the
issue was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons covered by ASX Listing Rule
10.14 who become entitled to participate in any issue of shares under the STIP after this resolution is
approved and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained
