Dear Shareholder
On behalf of the Board of Directors (Board), I am pleased to invite you to attend the eighth Annual General Meeting (AGM) of Orora Limited (Orora or Company), which will be held on Thursday, 21 October 2021 at 10.30am (Melbourne time).
Due to the ongoing and continuing developments in relation to COVID-19, and in the interests of health and safety of shareholders, employees and other potential attendees, we have again adopted measures to allow shareholders to participate in the AGM virtually (online) this year.
Once the current environment gives us the opportunity to do so, we will appropriately reconsider the mechanism for holding future AGMs, including reverting to a physical location.

Similar to the approach taken last year, the AGM will be made accessible through an online platform (at https://agmlive.link/ ORAAGM21), which will include the facility for shareholders to:
-
listen to the meeting live;
-
ask questions in relation to the business of the meeting; and

Additionally, this year shareholders will be able to listen to the AGM via a telephone line and ask questions. It will not be possible to vote by telephone. Further information relating to these processes is set out in this notice of meeting. A webcast of the AGM will also be recorded for later viewing on Orora’s website.
The Board encourages shareholders to:
-
participate in the meeting via the above mechanisms;
-
submit questions before the AGM by 10.30am (Melbourne time) on Tuesday, 19 October 2021 so that the Company can consider and address relevant questions in the AGM presentation; and
Meeting agenda
This notice of meeting (which includes the following agenda, eligibility to vote and explanatory notes) details the formal business to be dealt with at the AGM. Briefly, this will be to:
-
receive and consider the formal reports for the financial year;
-
re-elect Mr Jeremy Sutcliffe and Ms Samantha Lewis as Directors;
-
approve the grant of short-term and long-term incentives (deferred share rights and performance rights) to Mr Brian Lowe, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer; and

The Board unanimously recommends shareholders vote in favour of these resolutions.

4 ORORA NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2021
3. Incentive Grants to Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
The Company remunerates its Executive KMP (being all KMP other than the Non-Executive Directors) and other eligible executives using a combination of fixed and variable remuneration, with a greater emphasis on variable (at-risk) remuneration designed to directly incentivise performance. Details of the current total remuneration package of Orora’s Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Brian Lowe, are set out in the Remuneration Report of the 2021 Orora Annual Report. Mr Lowe currently receives:
-
fixed remuneration (FR) of $1,250,000 per annum, including superannuation benefits. From 1 October 2021, Mr Lowe will receive FR of $1,283,171 (FY22 FR) per annum , including superannuation benefits;
-
a short-term incentive grant, with a maximum opportunity of 100% of his FY22 FR for the financial year ending 30 June 2022; and
-
a long-term incentive grant, with a maximum opportunity of 70% of his FY22 FR for the financial year ending 30 June 2022 (subject to shareholder approval).
Under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, shareholder approval is required in order for a Company to issue equity to a Director under an employee incentive scheme. As such, shareholders are asked to approve the following grants under the Company’s short-term incentive (STI) plan and long-term incentive (LTI) plan to Mr Lowe, on the terms set out below. If shareholder approval is not obtained, the Board will consider alternative arrangements to appropriately remunerate and incentivise Mr Lowe.
(a) Short-term incentive grant to Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
The Company’s STI plan is designed to reward Executive KMP and other eligible executives for the achievement of the Company’s key shortterm (annual) performance measures, which typically include safety, strategic initiatives and a strong weighting towards financial growth and returns. Two-thirds of an award under the STI plan is made in the form of a cash payment following the release of the end of year results and the remaining one-third comprises time restricted rights to Orora shares (Deferred Share Rights). Deferred Share Rights are used by the Company as equity deferral under the STI plan to both align overall reward outcomes to value creation for shareholders, and act as a retention tool.
Approval is being sought from shareholders for the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Lowe, to participate in the STI plan and receive Deferred Share Rights on the terms below for the financial year ending 30 June 2022.
Overview of the proposed grant:
-
ENTITLEMENT UNDER The number of Deferred Share Rights to be granted to Mr Lowe will be calculated: THE STI OFFER a. as a percentage of the total STI award payable following the financial year ending 30 June 2022 (Relevant Performance Period); and
-
b. by reference to the volume-weighted average price (VWAP) of the Company’s shares for the five trading days up to and including 30 June 2022.
The range of the STI award payable to Mr Lowe is 0-100% of his FR for the Relevant Performance Period. As one-third of any STI award will consist of Deferred Share Rights, the maximum value of the Deferred Share Rights granted to Mr Lowe in respect of the Relevant Performance Period will be $427,724. Each Deferred Share Right is a right to acquire one share in the Company, subject to meeting the vesting conditions. As the VWAP of the Company’s shares for the five trading days up to and including the end of the Relevant Performance Period is currently unknown, the maximum number of Deferred Share Rights (if any) to be granted to Mr Lowe cannot be specified. The method for calculating the number of Deferred Share Rights to be granted to Mr Lowe is set out below.
The Board has set performance targets for Mr Lowe for the Relevant Performance Period against which his entitlement to a grant under the STI plan will be measured. These targets range across financial, strategic, and personal measures, with a safety overlay applied to any STI grant. The weighting attributed to each of these targets is as follows:
| Target | % Weighting |
|---|---|
| Proft before interest and tax (PBIT) | 60% (with a stretch weighting of 100%) |
| Average working capital as a % of sales | 10% |
| Individual objectives | 30% |
Safety overlay
Any STI grant to be made to Mr Lowe on satisfaction of the above targets is also subject to Orora’s performance against a set of safety objectives, measured against key safety metrics. In the event that these safety objectives are not met, any STI grant to Mr Lowe may be reduced by up to 10% at the Board’s discretion.
The Board has chosen the above targets to provide an appropriate balance of financial and non-financial metrics which incentivises performance against the Company’s short-term objectives.
In conducting its assessment of Mr Lowe’s performance against the above targets, the Board also considers:
-
a. how Mr Lowe’s performance aligned to the Company’s values;
-
b. how proactive Mr Lowe was in overcoming challenges in the delivery of the final outcome; and
-
c. what Mr Lowe’s individual contribution was to the collective performance of the Company.
ORORA NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2021 5
Example
As an illustration only, set out below is an example of the calculation of the number of Deferred Share Rights that may be granted to Mr Lowe under the STI plan in respect of the Relevant Performance Period, on the basis that:
a. Mr Lowe’s FY22 FR is $1,283,171; and
assuming that:
-
b. based on his performance during that financial year, the Board determines that Mr Lowe’s STI award will be 70% of his FY22 FR; and
-
c. the VWAP of Orora shares on the ASX during the five trading days up to and including 30 June 2022 is $3.45, the number of Deferred Share Rights to be granted to Mr Lowe would be calculated as follows:
([$1,283,171 ×70%] ×1/3)÷$3.45
Based on the above assumptions, and the assumption that Mr Lowe’s stipulated safety objectives under the safety overlay were achieved, Mr Lowe would be granted 86,784 Deferred Share Rights.
The above calculation is shown by way of example only and does not commit the Board to the figures above, including the STI award for Mr Lowe and the VWAP of Orora shares for the relevant period. It is also important to note that the relevant VWAP of Orora shares will directly affect the number of Deferred Share Rights that may be granted to Mr Lowe.
| The above calculation is shown by way of example only and does not commit the Board to the fgures above, including the STI award for Mr Lowe and the VWAP of Orora shares for the relevant period. It is also important to note that the relevant VWAP of Orora shares will directly afect the number of Deferred Share Rights that may be granted to Mr Lowe. |
|
|---|---|
| Where Deferred Share Rights vest under the STI plan, the Company intends to satisfy each right to acquire | |
| a share in respect of each Deferred Share Right by on-market purchases on behalf of Mr Lowe; however the | |
| Company may instead issue new ordinary shares to Mr Lowe. | |
| DATE OF GRANT | If shareholder approval is obtained, and assuming that Mr Lowe becomes eligible to receive a grant under the |
| STI plan, the Deferred Share Rights will be granted to Mr Lowe by no later than 30 September 2022. | |
| VESTING PERIOD | The vesting period for the Deferred Share Rights is two years from the date of the grant. The vesting of Deferred |
| AND CONDITIONS | Share Rights is conditional upon Mr Lowe’s continued employment with the Company throughout this period. |
| Any Deferred Share Rights that do not vest will lapse. | |
| The Board has overall discretion on the fnal STI outcome for Mr Lowe, mitigating the risk of unintended | |
| award outcomes, including reducing any STI grant to Mr Lowe in the event safety objectives are not met | |
| and to determine how share rights may be treated in the event of a material event (such as an acquisition, | |
| divestment or change of control) afecting the Company. The Board retains discretion regarding grant, lapse, | |
| forfeiture and claw-back if, in its opinion, Mr Lowe has acted in a manner contrary to Orora values, or in a | |
| manner that brings the Company or any company within the Orora Group into disrepute. | |
| TRADING RESTRICTIONS | Shares allocated following the vesting of Deferred Share Rights are not subject to any specifc trading |
| restrictions other than the general restrictions set out in the Company’s Share Trading and Minimum | |
| Shareholding Policies. | |
| PRICE PAYABLE ON | No amount is payable in respect of any grant or on the vesting of Deferred Share Rights. |
| GRANT OR EXERCISE | |
| CESSATION OF | If Mr Lowe ceases employment with the Company before the Deferred Share Rights vest, then all unvested |
| EMPLOYMENT | Deferred Share Rights will lapse. |
| However, in limited circumstances, including, for example, retirement, the Board may exercise its discretion to | |
| determine the treatment of unvested Deferred Share Rights and, to the extent permitted by law, may elect to | |
| settle any Deferred Share Rights by way of a cash payment (rather than ordinary shares). | |
| OTHER REQUIRED | Approval is being sought for the grant of Deferred Share Rights to Mr Lowe under Listing Rule 10.14.1 because |
| INFORMATION | he is a Director of the Company. |
| Mr Lowe was granted 127,032 Deferred Share Rights in accordance with shareholder approval at the 2020 | |
| AGM in his capacity as Managing Director and Chief Executive Ofcer. No consideration was payable by Mr | |
| Lowe in respect of this grant. | |
| There is no loan scheme in relation to the acquisition of the Deferred Share Rights issued under the STI plan. | |
| Details of any Deferred Share Rights issued to Mr Lowe under the STI plan will be published in Orora’s 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 an issue of Deferred Share Rights under the STI plan after resolution 3(a) is approved | |
| and who were not named in this notice of meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX | |
| Listing Rule 10.14. |

(b) Long term incentive grant to Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer
Approval is being sought from shareholders for the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Mr Lowe, to participate in the Company’s LTI plan and receive Performance Rights on the terms below for the Relevant Performance Period. Performance Rights are used by the Company under the LTI as they reward Mr Lowe for the achievement of long-term sustainable business outcomes and value creation for shareholders by requiring the achievement of set financial hurdles over the Performance Period in order for the Performance Rights to vest.

----- End of picture text -----
| 273,847 Following the release of the full year results for the fnancial year ending 30 June 2024 (anticipated to be in |
|---|
| August 2024) but will be subject to an additional one year employment holding lock before vesting. |
| Details of Orora’s LTI plan are contained in the Remuneration Report. The key terms of the Performance Rights to be granted to Mr Lowe for the |
| fnancial year ending 30 June 2022 are set out below. |
| Overview of the proposed grant: |
| ENTITLEMENT UNDER THE LTI OFFER |
Each Performance Right is a right to acquire one share in the Company. The maximum number of shares that may be acquired by Mr Lowe under the grant is 273,847 shares arising from the vesting of Performance Rights. The number of Performance Rights proposed to be awarded to Mr Lowe has been calculated by reference to market value, using the VWAP of the Company’s ordinary shares traded on the ASX over the fve trading days up to and including 30 June 2021, which is $3.28. The value of the grant represents 70% of the Mr Lowe’s FY22 FR, being $898,220. Where Performance Rights vest under the LTI plan, the Company intends to satisfy each right to acquire a share in respect of each Performance Right by on-market purchases on behalf of Mr Lowe; however the Company may instead issue new ordinaryshares to Mr Lowe. |
|---|---|
| DATE OF GRANT | If shareholder approval is obtained, the Performance Rights will be granted to Mr Lowe by no later than 12 months after the date of the 2021 AGM. |
| PERFORMANCE CONDITIONS FOR THE GRANT |
Two performance conditions apply to the LTI Performance Rights grant as detailed below: Earnings Per Share (EPS) (with a Return on Average Funds Employed (RoAFE) gateway) 50% weighting Relative Total Shareholder return (RTSR) (with an Absolute Total Shareholder Return (ATSR) gateway) 50% weighting Performance Rights to be granted to Mr Lowe are subject to the EPS performance condition (with RoAFE gateway) (50% weighting) and the RTSR performance condition (with an ATSR gateway) (50% weighting). EPS Condition EPS measures the earnings generated by the Company attributable to each share on issue. EPS will be calculated based on the Company’s net proft after tax excluding signifcant items, calculated on a constant currency basis (subject to Board discretion) for the relevant fnancial year, divided by the weighted average number of shares on issue during the year. The EPS base starting point will be 16.9 cents, being the Company’s normalised result for the continuing businesses (excluding the Australasian Fibre business sold in April 2020) for the full fnancial year ended 30 June 2021, excluding signifcant items. The Board (excluding Mr Lowe) has reviewed the EPS targets for the purpose of determining the percentage of Performance Rights that will vest under the LTI grant, to refect the underlying business performance. The growth in the Company’s EPS over the relevant Performance Period will be calculated as the increase in EPS over the base of 16.9 cents on a constant currency basis. The compound growth in EPS will be expressed as a cumulative percentage. The percentage of Performance Rights that will vest (subject to achievement of the RoAFE gateway) will be determined as follows, subject to any adjustments for abnormal or unusual proft items that the Board, in its discretion, considers appropriate: EPS Growth % of Performance Rights/Options that will vest less than 4% 0% at 4% 50% between 4% and 8% straight line vesting between 50% and 100% at 8% and above 100% EPS Condition (with RoAFE gateway) 50% of any LTI grant to Mr Lowe is subject to an EPS condition (based on the Company’s compound annual growth rate in EPS over the Performance Period),with a separate minimumgatewaybased on RoAFE. |
ORORA NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING 2021 7
RoAFE gateway
In order for any Performance Rights subject to the EPS performance condition to vest, the Company will first need to meet a minimum RoAFE gateway of 15%.
RoAFE will be calculated as earnings before interest and tax (excluding significant items earned by the Company during the relevant reporting period, subject to Board discretion), divided by the average funds employed by the Company as at the 30 June testing date.
If the RoAFE gateway for the grant is not met in the Performance Period, all Performance Rights subject to this condition will lapse. If the RoAFE gateway for the grant is met in the relevant Performance Period, the relevant Performance Rights will vest, in accordance with the EPS vesting schedule above.
RTSR condition (with an ATSR gateway)
50% of any LTI grant to Mr Lowe is subject to a RTSR performance condition. The RTSR performance condition measures the growth in the Company’s share price together with the value of dividends declared and other returns of capital paid during the Performance Period compared to companies ranked 50 to 150 (with no exceptions) on the S&P/ASX index (as at 1 July 2021) (Comparator Group). The Comparator Group has been selected because the Board considers that this group appropriately reflects Orora’s current market position.
The percentage of Performance Rights subject to the RTSR condition that vest under the grant, if any, will be determined by reference to the percentile ranking achieved by the Company over the relevant Performance Period compared to the other entities in the Comparator Group as follows:
| RTSR Performance | % of Performance Rights/Options that will vest |
|---|---|
| less than 50th percentile | 0% |
| at 50th percentile | 50% |
| between 50th and 75th percentile | straight line vesting between 50% and 100% |
| at 75th percentile and above | 100% |
ATSR gateway
In addition, for any Performance Rights subject to this performance condition to vest, Orora’s ATSR over the Performance Period must not be negative. If Orora’s ATSR over the Performance Period is negative, no Performance Rights subject to this performance condition will vest, regardless of Orora’s relative performance against the Comparator Group. If Orora’s ATSR over the Performance Period is not negative, the Performance Rights in the grant will vest in accordance with the RTSR vesting schedule above.
To ensure the impact of share price volatility is minimized, the share prices used to calculate the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) of the Company and each Comparator Group company for the Performance Period will be measured as follows:
-
a. the opening share price will be the VWAP on the ASX of the Company’s ordinary shares, or the applicable Comparator Group company, for the 20 trading days leading up to and ended on 30 June 2021; and
-
b. the closing share price will be the VWAP on the ASX of the Company’s ordinary shares, or the applicable Comparator Group company, for the 20 trading days ending on the last day of the Performance Period.
PERFORMANCE PERIOD AND VESTING
The Performance Period for the grant is from 1 July 2021 through to 30 June 2024.
The EPS performance condition (and RoAFE gateway), and TSR performance condition, will be tested shortly after the end of the Performance Period for the grant and vesting will be subject to an additional one year employment holding lock before vesting. Any Performance Rights that do not vest will lapse.
The Board retains discretion regarding grant, lapse, forfeiture and claw-back if, in its opinion, Mr Lowe has acted in a manner contrary to Orora values, or in a manner that brings the Company or any company within the Orora Group into disrepute. The Board also retains discretion to alter the vesting conditions of Performance Rights where there is a material event (such as an acquisition, divestment or change of control) or other strategic initiative that affects the Company’s capital structure and the relevance of the vesting conditions.
TRADING RESTRICTIONS
PRICE PAYABLE ON GRANT OR EXERCISE
Shares allocated following the vesting of Performance Rights are not subject to any specific trading restrictions other than the general restrictions set out in the Company’s Share Trading and Minimum Shareholding Policies.
No amount is payable by Mr Lowe in respect of the grant or on the vesting of Performance Rights.

1. Eligibility
Shareholders
Shareholders will be eligible to vote and ask questions at the AGM if they are registered holders of ordinary shares in the Company as at 7.00pm (Melbourne time) on Tuesday, 19 October 2021.
Proxies
A shareholder entitled to be present virtually and vote at the AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
The appointment of one or more proxies will not preclude a shareholder from being present virtually, voting and asking questions.
A shareholder entitled to cast more than one vote on a resolution may appoint two proxies, in which case the shareholder should specify the proportion or number of votes that each proxy is appointed to exercise. If no proportions or numbers are specified, each proxy may exercise half of the shareholder’s votes.
Shareholders are encouraged to direct their proxies how to vote on each resolution by selecting the ‘for’, ‘against’ or ‘abstain’ box for each item on the proxy form. If a proxy chooses to vote, then he/ she must vote in accordance with the directions set out in the proxy appointment form.
If the Chair of the AGM is appointed, or taken to be appointed, as a proxy but the appointment does not direct the proxy how to vote on a resolution, then the Chair intends to exercise the relevant shareholder’s votes in favour of the relevant resolution (subject to the other provisions of these notes, including any voting exclusions set out in this notice).
In order for the proxy appointment to be valid, completed proxy forms (together with any authority under which the proxy was signed or a certified copy of the authority) must be returned before 10.30am (Melbourne time) on Tuesday, 19 October 2021 in one of the following four ways:
-

If you wish to appoint a body corporate as your proxy, you must specify on the proxy form:
-
the full name of the body corporate appointed as proxy; and
-
the full name or title of the individual representative of the body corporate who will be present virtually at the AGM.

VOTES ON ITEMS OF BUSINESS – PROXY APPOINTMENT
To vote all of your shares: You may direct your proxy how to vote by placing a mark in one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your shares will be voted in accordance with such a direction. If you mark more than one box on an item your vote on that item will be invalid. If you do not mark any of the boxes on the items of business, your proxy may vote as he or she chooses.
To vote a portion of your shares: You may direct your proxy to vote a portion of your voting rights in a certain manner by inserting the percentage or number of shares you wish to vote in the For, Against or Abstain box or boxes. The sum of the votes cast must not exceed your voting rights, otherwise your vote on that item will be invalid.
Proxy voting by KMPs and closely related parties: If you appoint a KMP (other than the Chair of the Meeting) or an Associate or a closely related party of the KMP as your proxy, you should direct them how to vote on Resolutions 3(a), 3(b) and 4 by marking the appropriate box. If you do not do so, the Company will disregard those proxy votes on Resolutions 3(a), 3(b) and 4.
