EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO THE

NOTICE OF 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Schedule 1 – Summary of key terms of the Performance Rights Plan

Prime Financial Group Limited ACN 009 487 674 (“the Company” or “Prime”)

This Explanatory Statement accompanies Prime Financial Group Limited’s Notice of 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM) to be held as a virtual meeting on Friday 26 November 2021 at 9:00am AEDT. This Explanatory Statement forms part of the Notice of 2021 AGM. The Notice of 2021 AGM should be read together with these notes.

ORDINARY BUSINESS

2021 Annual Financial Statements

The Annual Financial Statements for the year ending 30 June 2021, comprising the Director’s Report and Financial Report for the year ended 30 June 2021 and the Auditor’s Report on the Financial Report and the consolidated Financial Report will be laid before the Meeting. Members will be given the opportunity to ask questions about or make comments in respect of the Annual Financial Statements and the management of the Company.

Resolution 1. Non-binding resolution to adopt Remuneration Report

Pursuant to the Corporations Act 2001 the AGM of a listed company must propose a resolution that the Remuneration Report be adopted. The vote on this Resolution is advisory only and does not bind either the Directors or the Company.

Nevertheless, the Board will take into account the discussion on this item and the outcome of the vote when considering the future remuneration policies and practices of the Company. Furthermore, as a result of a change to the Corporations Act 2001 which came into effect on 1 July 2011 - known as the “Two Strikes” rule – if a company’s remuneration report receives a “no” vote of 25% or more (the first strike), the Company’s subsequent remuneration report must explain whether members’ concerns have been taken into account. Where the Company’s subsequent remuneration report also receives a “no” vote of 25% or more (the second strike), a resolution must then be immediately put to members as to whether a General Meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (except the Managing Director) who were in office at the time of the second strike must stand for re-election.

The Remuneration Report is included in the Annual Report distributed to members and the Financial Statements to be laid before the Meeting. Members will be given the opportunity to ask questions about or make comments on the Remuneration Report at the Meeting.

Recommendation

The Directors recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution. The Chairman intends to exercise all undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 1. If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the proxy form (including via an online voting facility), you will be deemed to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman’s intention.

Member of the Audit & Risk Committee, Remuneration and Nomination Committees.

Mr. Tim Bennett established and leads Prime’s growing Corporate Advisory and Capital Division which is now a material contributor to Prime’s earnings and business strategy. With 15+ years specialist M&A experience, Mr. Tim Bennett has advised on a range of transactions, across all industry sectors, covering complex business and asset carve-outs and divestments, mergers and acquisitions, private company capital raisings (debt and equity) and IPOs, together with a range of financial sponsor (private equity) transactions.

Recommendation

The directors (other than Mr. Tim Bennett) recommend that you vote in favour of this resolution. The Chairman of the meeting intends to vote undirected proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolutions 3-5 Approval of issue of Performance Rights under the Performance Rights Plan

Introduction:

The Company is proposing to issue performance rights ( Performance Rights ) to each of Mr Simon Madder, Mr Matthew Murphy and Mr Tim Bennett ( Executive Directors ) under the Company's existing Performance Rights Plan (Performance Rights Plan) (Proposed Executive Director Issues).

A summary of the terms of the Performance Rights Plan is set out in Schedule 1, and a summary of the vesting conditions of the Performance Rights that are proposed to be issued to each of the Executive Directors pursuant to Resolutions 3 to 5 is set out in Schedule 2.

Prime’s team is our biggest asset, and we want to continue to develop incentive structures, a culture and balance to achieve sustainably higher business and personal growth with a business owner mentality at the core, a true partnership between team and shareholders that encourages development and alignment. For this reason, having a well articulated and differentiated Long-term Incentive (LTI) program to connect and grow the firm is essential.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT TO THE

NOTICE OF 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Schedule 1 – Summary of key terms of the Performance Rights Plan

Prime Financial Group Limited ACN 009 487 674 (“the Company” or “Prime”)

Prime’s LTI program is designed to provide a long term at-risk incentive to all Prime staff and allows our team to become owners in Prime on the basis of growth in Underlying Earnings Before Interest Tax Depreciation and Amortisation (EBITDA) for members/shareholders and Share Price Improvement (SPI).

The Company remunerates its senior team, executives and all staff in a manner that is market competitive and consistent with best practice as well as supporting the interests of shareholders. Consequently, under Prime’s Remuneration Policy, and subject to the determination of the Remuneration Committee, the remuneration of senior team members and executives may be comprised of the following:

  • Fixed salary, including superannuation, that is determined from a review of the market and reflects core performance requirements and expectations;

  • A Short-term Incentive (STI) designed to reward achievement by individuals of performance objectives; and

  • A Long-term Incentive (LTI) based on ongoing Group performance.

By remunerating senior team members and executives through short and long-term incentive plans, in addition to their fixed remuneration, Prime’s objective is to align the interests of the senior team and executives with those of shareholders and increase performance of the Company. The philosophy of deploying this remuneration structure and strategy is to provide a clear intention to improve the Company’s fiscal performance and thereby increase underlying shareholder value.

The Remuneration Committee and Board received advice from an Independent Remuneration Consultant, (Remuneration Strategies Pty Ltd) in consideration of all senior team member and executive remuneration.

In the Extraordinary General Meeting on 14 July 2017, shareholders approved the Performance Rights Plan. This LTI structure has been put into effect during FY21 and applies to Prime Team members that have been with Prime for at least twelve months. Upon the firm achieving the required performance criteria, the LTI program provides an allocation of Performance Rights to eligible team members. The Board implemented a level of minimum acceptable growth in Underlying EBITDA and Share Price Increase (SPI) as these performance criteria. (Please see schedule 2).

Shareholder approval sought

ASX Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed company must not permit a director (or certain other persons) to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme unless it obtains the approval of its shareholders.

The Proposed Executive Director Issues fall within ASX Listing Rule 10.14 and therefore requires the approval of shareholders. Resolutions 3 to 5 seek the required shareholder approvals to the Proposed Executive Director Issues for the purposes of ASX Listing Rule 10.14.

The Board has considered the Proposed Executive Director Issues and, taking into account the circumstances of the Company and its subsidiaries, the circumstances of the Executive Directors, and the remuneration practices of other similar entities, considers that the financial benefits provided to the Executive Directors by way of the Performance Rights (together with the other elements of their remuneration packages) constitute reasonable remuneration. Accordingly, approval under Chapter 2E of the Corporations Act 2001 is not being sought.
