IMPORTANT VOTING INFORMATION

VOTING EXCLUSIONS

Voting exclusions for Resolution 3 - Remuneration Report and Resolution 4 – Spill Resolution

A vote on Resolutions 3 or 4 must not be cast (in any capacity) by, or on behalf of, the following persons:

  • a) a member of Pacific Current’s key management personnel ( KMP ) whose remuneration details are included in the 2024 Remuneration Report; or

  • b) a closely related party of such a KMP.

However, a person described above may cast a vote on Resolutions 3 or 4 as a proxy, if the vote is not cast on behalf of a person described above and either:

  • a) the proxy appointment is in writing and specifies the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; or

  • b) the vote is cast by the Chair of the Meeting and the appointment of the Chair as proxy:

  • i) does not specify the way the proxy is to vote on the resolution; and

  • ii) expressly authorises the Chair to exercise the proxy even if the resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.

Additionally, in accordance with section 250BD of the Act, a vote must not be cast on Resolutions 3 or 4 as a proxy by a member of the KMP at the date of the AGM, or a closely related party of a KMP member, unless it is cast as proxy for a person entitled to vote in accordance with the person’s directions. This restriction on voting undirected proxies does not apply to the Chair of the Meeting where the proxy appointment expressly authorises the Chair of the Meeting to exercise undirected proxies even if the resolution is connected, directly or indirectly, with the remuneration of a member of the KMP.

‘KMP’ has the meaning as set out in the Act and refers to Directors of Pacific Current and those persons having authority and responsibility for planning, directing, and controlling the activities of Pacific Current, directly or indirectly. ‘Closely related party’ of a member of the KMP has the meaning set out in the Act and includes close family members of the KMP member and companies the KMP member controls.

ENTITLEMENT TO ATTEND AND VOTE

In accordance with regulation 7.11.37 of the Corporations Regulations 2001 (Cth), the Board has determined that persons who are registered holders of Pacific Current shares as at 7:00pm AEDT on Wednesday, 13 November 2024 will be entitled to attend and vote at the AGM as a Shareholder.

If more than one joint holder of shares is present at the AGM (whether personally, by proxy, by attorney, or by representative) and tenders a vote, the vote of the holder named first in the register is accepted to the exclusion of any other.

Appointment of Proxy

If you are a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote, you may appoint an individual or a body corporate as a proxy. If a body corporate is appointed as a proxy, that body corporate must ensure that it appoints a corporate representative in accordance with section 250D of the Act to exercise its powers as proxy at the AGM.

A proxy need not be a Shareholder of Pacific Current.

A Shareholder may appoint up to two proxies and specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy may exercise. If the Shareholder does not specify the proportion or number of votes to be exercised, each proxy may exercise half of the Shareholder’s votes.

To be effective, the proxy appointment must be received at Pacific Current’s Share Registry no later than 10:00am AEDT on Wednesday, 13 November 2024 (48 hours before AGM). Proxies must be received before that time by one of the following methods:

Directors’ Recommendation

For the reasons set out above, the Directors (with Joanne Dawson abstaining) recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

3. REMUNERATION REPORT

RESOLUTION 3 - REMUNERATION REPORT

Section 250R(2) of the Act requires that Pacific Current put to a shareholder vote, a resolution that the Remuneration Report dealing with the remuneration of KMP of the Company ( Remuneration Report ) be adopted. The vote is advisory only and does not bind the directors or Pacific Current ( Directors ), although Pacific Current takes the outcome of the vote into consideration in determining remuneration policy going forward.

The Remuneration Report is contained in the Directors’ Report set out at pages 21-33 of the 2024 Annual Report, which is available on Pacific Current’s website:

https://paccurrent.com/shareholders/document-library/annual-report/.

The Remuneration Report:

  • explains Pacific Current’s executive remuneration framework and objectives, and the link between the remuneration of executives and Pacific Current’s performance;

  • sets out remuneration details for each Director and for each executive with authority and responsibility for directing the affairs of the Company; and

  • makes clear that the basis for remunerating Non-Executive Directors is distinct from the basis for remunerating executives, including Executive Directors.

The Chair will give Shareholders a reasonable opportunity to ask questions about, or make comments on, the Remuneration Report.

An advisory resolution that the Remuneration Report for the year ended 30 June 2024 is adopted will then be put to a Shareholder vote.

11 | P a g e

PACIFIC CURRENT GROUP LIMITED ABN 39 006 708 792

NOTICE OF 2024 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Under the Act, if at least 25% of the votes cast on the relevant resolution are voted against the adoption of the remuneration report at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Members at the second annual general meeting a resolution proposing that another general meeting be held within 90 days, at which all of the Company’s Directors (other than the Managing Director, who for the purposes of rules 7.1(h) and 8.1 of the Constitution of the Company serves as the Managing Director, and any Director not in office at the time of approval of the 2024 Directors’ Report, including the Remuneration Report) must retire unless they are re-elected at that meeting ( Spill Resolution ).

The Company received a vote greater than 25% against the adoption of the remuneration report at the 2023 Annual General Meeting and, as such the 2024 Notice of Meeting contains a Spill Resolution at Resolution 4, which is subject to and conditional upon the vote against Resolution 3 being 25% or more.

Directors’ Recommendation

Noting that each Director has a personal interest in their own remuneration from the Company as set out in the Remuneration Report, the Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

4. SPILL RESOLUTION (CONDITIONAL ITEM)

RESOLUTION 4: SPILL RESOLUTION (CONDITIONAL ITEM)

This Item is a conditional item of business and will only be put to the AGM if at least 25% of the votes cast on Resolution 3 to adopt the 2024 Remuneration Report are cast against its adoption. If fewer than 25% of the votes cast are cast against its adoption, then there will be no “second strike” and this resolution will not be put to the Annual General Meeting. If this resolution is put to the AGM, it will be considered as an ordinary resolution.

If this resolution is put to the AGM and is passed, an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders, known as a “Spill Meeting”, must be held within 90 days of the AGM. The following directors who remain in office at the time of the Spill Meeting will cease to hold office at the end of the Spill Meeting unless they are willing to stand for re-election and are re-elected at the Spill Meeting:

  • Tony Robinson

  • Michael Clarke

  • Joanne Dawson

  • Gilles Guérin

The directors listed above are those who held office on the date when the directors’ report for the year ended 30 June 2024 (which included the 2024 Remuneration Report) ( 2024 Directors’ Report ) was approved. Even if Michael Clarke and Joanne Dawson are elected at this meeting, they will need to be re-elected at the Spill Meeting to remain in office.

The Board considers the following factors to be relevant to a Shareholder’s decision on how to vote on this item:

  • At the Company’s 2023 AGM held on 15 November 2023, in excess of 25% of the votes cast were against the adoption of the Company’s 2023 Remuneration Report, giving the Company a first strike under the Corporations Act.

  • After the 2023 AGM, the Board further considered the Company’s remuneration framework and engaged with the Company’s shareholders and other stakeholders to understand the concerns being expressed through the vote.

  • The Board believes that actions taken since the 2023 AGM, including the outsourcing of the Company’s investment services functions to GQG and the resulting reduction in the Company’s cost structure as described in the Company’s ASX announcement on 15 March 2024 and elsewhere in the

12 | P a g e

PACIFIC CURRENT GROUP LIMITED ABN 39 006 708 792

NOTICE OF 2024 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

  • 2024 Annual Report, appropriately address the concerns that led to the Company receiving a first strike .

  • The Board also believes that the Company’s remuneration framework remains appropriately structured to align with shareholder’s interests and to deliver on the Company’s strategy.

  • The Board has undergone a period of renewal since the previous AGM. Four Directors have retired and two new Directors, Michael Clarke and Joanne Dawson, were appointed to the Board on 14 February 2024 and 1 July 2024 respectively. Each of Tony Robinson and Gilles Guérin have previously been elected by shareholders within the past 2 years.

  • The current Board believes that it has the skills and experience to provide effective oversight to PAC and to represent Shareholders.

  • A change in the Board could significantly undermine the stability of the Board, and the stability of PAC.

  • Having to convene a Spill Meeting would create significant disruption, uncertainty and additional expense.

  • If Tony Robinson, Michael Clarke, Joanne Dawson and Gilles Guérin were not returned to office, it could take considerable time to rebuild a Board with the same skills and experience as the current group of Directors.

If you do not want a Spill Meeting to take place, you should vote AGAINST Resolution 4. If you want a Spill Meeting to take place, you should vote FOR Resolution 4.

Directors’ Recommendation

Having regard to the matters set out above, the Directors do not consider the proposed resolution to be in the best interests of the Company or its Shareholders. The Directors unanimously recommend Shareholders vote against this Resolution 4.

Note: The Chair of the Annual General Meeting intends to vote all available proxies against this Resolution.
