Explanatory Memorandum
This Explanatory Memorandum provides Shareholders with important information in relation to each item of business for the AGM, including the proposed resolutions to be considered by Shareholders of the Company.
Terms and abbreviations defined in the Notice of Meeting have the same meaning when used in this Explanatory Memorandum.
Financial statements and reports (not voted on)
The business of the AGM will include the receipt and consideration of the Company’s annual report, financial statements, directors’ report and the auditor’s report for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 ( Reports ) as required by section 317 of the Corporations Act. The Reports are all included in the Company's annual report, which was lodged with the ASX on 23 February 2021.
A copy of the annual report is available from the Company's website at www.vgipartners.com.
Neither the Corporations Act, nor the Company’s Constitution, require a vote of Shareholders on the Reports. However, Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions and make comments in relation to both the Reports, and the business and management of the Company.
Shareholders will also be given a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of a representative of the Company’s auditor, Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, relevant to the conduct of the audit, the preparation and content of the Company's financial statements and auditor’s report, the accounting policies adopted by the Company in the preparation of the financial statements and the independence of the auditor in relation to the conduct of the audit.
Resolution 1: Adoption of the FY20 Remuneration Report (non-binding resolution)
Resolution 1 provides Shareholders the opportunity to vote on the Company’s Remuneration Report. Under section 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the adoption of the Remuneration Report to a vote at its AGM. The Remuneration Report forms part of the directors’ report and is set out in the Company’s 2020 annual report for the financial year ended 31 December 2020 on pages 16 to 22.
The Remuneration Report describes the policies of the board of directors of the Company ( Board ) in relation to the nature and level of remuneration paid to the Company's key management personnel, including its executive and non-executive directors.
While the vote on the Remuneration Report is advisory only and does not bind the directors or the Company, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into account when considering the Company's future remuneration arrangements.
Additionally, under the Corporations Act, if 25% or more of the votes cast are against the adoption of the Remuneration Report at two consecutive annual general meetings, Shareholders will be required to vote at the second of those annual general meetings on a resolution ( Spill Resolution ) that another meeting be held within 90 days ( Spill Meeting ) at which all of the Company’s directors, other than the managing director, will cease to hold office unless re-elected at the Spill Meeting. The Spill Resolution is an ordinary resolution.

==> picture [125 x 40] intentionally omitted <==
Shareholders will be given a reasonable opportunity at the AGM to ask questions about, and make comments on, the Remuneration Report.
The voting exclusion statement for this resolution is set out on page 4 of the Notice of Meeting.
The Board unanimously recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of adopting the Remuneration Report.
Resolution 2: Re - election of Mr. David Jones as a director of the Company
Clause 60.1 of the Company’s Constitution provides that at the close of each annual general meeting, onethird of the Directors or, if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest to but not more than one-third of the Directors, must retire by rotation. Under clause 77.9 of the Company’s Constitution, the Managing Director is not subject to the retirement by rotation rules in the Company’s Constitution and is not taken into account in determining the number of Directors to retire by rotation.
Clause 60.2 of the Company's Constitution states that the Directors to retire in accordance with clause 60.1 must be those who have been longest in office since their last election.
In addition, ASX Listing Rule 14.4 requires that directors must not hold office past the third annual general meeting following the director’s appointment or 3 years, whichever is longer. Other than the Managing Director, to whom ASX Listing Rule 14.4 does not apply, and Mr. David Jones, each of the directors of the Company were elected or re-elected at the Company’s 2020 Annual General Meeting.
Having regard to the above, the Board has determined that Mr. David Jones is required to retire from office in accordance with clause 60 of the Company's Constitution.
Mr. David Jones, being eligible, will stand for re-election as a director of the Company at the AGM.
The experience, skills and qualifications of Mr. David Jones are as follows:
| Qualifications: | B.Eng. (1st Class Hons) (Melb.), MBA (Harvard) |
|---|---|
| Experience and expertise: | Mr. Jones has more than 30 years’ experience in investment markets, the |
| majority as a general partner in private equity firms, and prior to that in general | |
| management and management consulting. Mr. Jones has been a board member | |
| of numerous private and public businesses, including a number in the wealth | |
| management sector. | |
| Other current directorships: | Mr. Jones is the Chairman of VGI Partners Global Investments Limited and |
| was appointed as a Director of VGI Partners Asian Investments Limited on 25 | |
| September 2020. | |
| Former directorships | Mr. Jones has not held any other directorships of listed companies within the last |
| (last three years) | three years. |
The Board (excluding Mr. David Jones due to his conflict of interest) unanimously supports the re-election of Mr. David Jones and recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

TO VOTE BY COMPLETING THE PROXY FORM
STEP 1 APPOINTMENT OF PROXY
Indicate who you want to appoint as your Proxy.
If you wish to appoint the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy, mark the box. If you wish to appoint someone other than the Chair of the Meeting as your proxy please write the full name of that individual or body corporate. If you leave this section blank, or your named proxy does not attend the Meeting, the Chair of the Meeting will be your proxy. A proxy need not be a securityholder of the Company. Do not write the name of the Company or the registered securityholder in the space.
Appointment of a Second Proxy
You are entitled to appoint up to two proxies to attend the virtual Meeting and vote. If you wish to appoint a second proxy, an additional Proxy Form may be obtained by contacting Boardroom, the Company’s securities registry (using the contact details at the top of this page) or you may copy this form.
To appoint a second proxy you must: (a) Complete two Proxy Forms. On each Proxy Form state the percentage of your voting rights or the number of securities applicable to that form. If the appointments do not specify the percentage or number of votes that each proxy may exercise, each proxy may exercise half your votes. Fractions of votes will be disregarded.
(b) Return both Proxy Forms together in the same envelope.
STEP 2 VOTING DIRECTIONS TO YOUR PROXY
To direct your proxy how to vote, mark one of the boxes opposite each item of business. All your securities will be voted in accordance with such a direction unless you indicate only a portion of securities are to be voted on any item by inserting the percentage or number that you wish to vote in the appropriate box or boxes. If you do not mark any of the boxes on a given item, your proxy may vote as they choose. If you mark more than one box on an item for all your securities, your vote on that item will be invalid.
Proxy which is a Body Corporate
Where a body corporate is appointed as your proxy, the representative of that body corporate attending the virtual Meeting must have provided an “Appointment of Corporate Representative” prior to the Meeting. An Appointment of Corporate Representative form can be obtained from Boardroom, the Company’s securities registry (using the contact details at the top of this page).

Power of Attorney: To sign under a Power of Attorney, you must have already lodged the Power of Attorney with Boardroom, the Company’s securities registry. Alternatively, you may attach a certified photocopy of the Power of Attorney to this form when you return it. Companies: This form must be signed by a Director jointly with either another Director or a Company Secretary.
