2025 Notice of Annual General Meeting
Procedural Notes
Region Group is the collective name of the Management Trust and Retail Trust (each a Trust and together, the Trusts). Each security in the Management Trust is stapled to one security in the Retail Trust to form a Stapled Security.
As each Trust is a separate entity, they are required to conduct separate meetings. However, rules 25.10(b) and 34.8(b) of the constitution of each Trust provides that meetings of Security holders may be held in conjunction and Region RE, as the responsible entity of each Trust, may make any rules for the conduct of Security holder meetings as Region RE determines.
The Board has determined that because the resolutions to be proposed at each meeting of the Trusts are the same, each of the meetings will be conducted concurrently so that, from an administrative and attendance point of view, the conduct of the meetings will be as if they were one single meeting. Accordingly, any reference to “Meeting” in this Notice of Meeting is to the contemporaneous meetings of the Trusts convened by this Notice of Meeting and any reference to a “resolution” is to an identical resolution to be approved simultaneously by the Security holders of each Trust.
Quorum
The quorum necessary for this Meeting is two Security holders being present, in person, including virtually, or by proxy. If a quorum is not present within 30 minutes after the scheduled time for the Meeting, the Meeting will be adjourned as Region RE directs. The quorum must be present at all times during the Meeting, and if at any time a quorum is not present, the Meeting will be adjourned as Region RE directs.
Eligibility to Vote
The Board has determined that the registered holders of Stapled Securities at 7:00pm (Sydney time) on Friday, 17 October 2025 will be taken to be Security holders for the purposes of the Meeting and accordingly, will be entitled to attend and, subject to any applicable voting exclusions, vote at the Meeting.
Voting Exclusions
In accordance with section 253E of the Corporations Act, Region RE and its associates are not entitled to vote on any resolution if they have an interest in the resolution other than as a member.

2025 Notice of Annual General Meeting
Executive Incentive Plan
Resolution 5: Approval of issues under Executive Incentive Plan
Resolution 5 seeks Security holder approval, for the grant of Rights and the issue of equity securities under the Executive Incentive Plan.
The Executive Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board on 29 June 2016 and last approved by Security holders on 23 November 2022. Since that time, the following securities have been issued under the Executive Incentive Plan:
Securities issued
533,709 STI Rights 3,329,202 LTI Rights
323,620 Sign on Award Rights
4,186,531 Stapled Units, issued on vesting of various Rights under the Executive Incentive Plan
If Resolution 5 is approved, the Board of Region RE proposes to make further grants under the Executive Incentive Plan over the next three years. If Security holders approve Resolution 5, the maximum number of Rights proposed to be issued under the Executive Incentive Plan within the three year period is 12,000,000, however this is an estimate only so as to illustrate a maximum. It is not envisaged that 12,000,000 Rights will be issued immediately and, as at the date of this Notice, Region RE does not intend to issue that quantum of Rights under the Executive Incentive Plan.
Background
The Executive Incentive Plan is a key part of Region RE’s employment and remuneration strategy to attract, retain and motivate key personnel. The Executive Incentive Plan has been designed to:
-
provide a fair and meaningful retention mechanism for Eligible Participants;
-
allow Eligible Participants to directly participate in the ownership of Region RE for the purpose of enhancing the relationship between the employer and employee for their mutual long-term benefit; and
-
recognise and reward the contribution that Eligible Participants make to the growth in value of Region RE.
The Board believes that the grant of Rights under the Executive Incentive Plan to selected Eligible Participants will provide an important incentive to drive the long term performance of key personnel with the aim of achieving increased value for all Security holders.
A summary of the principal terms of the Executive Incentive Plan is set out in Annexure A to this Notice of Meeting.
Unitholder approval
Broadly speaking, and subject to certain exceptions, ASX Listing Rule 7.1 limits the amount of equity securities (for example, a Right or a Stapled Unit) that a listed entity can issue without the approval of its security holders over any 12 month period to 15% of the fully paid ordinary securities the relevant entity had on issue at the start of that period. This 15% amount is often referred to as an entity’s ‘placement capacity’.
Exception 13(b) of Listing Rule 7.2 provides that Listing Rule 7.1 does not apply to an issue of equity securities under an employee incentive scheme if, within three years before the date of issue of the relevant equity securities, the holders of the entity’s ordinary securities have approved the issue of equity securities under the employee incentive scheme as an exception to ASX Listing Rule 7.1.
Exception 13(b) of Listing Rule 7.2 is only available if and to the extent that the number of Equity Securities issued under the employee incentive scheme does not exceed the maximum number set out in the entity’s notice of meeting dispatched to security holders in respect of the meeting at which security holder approval was obtained pursuant to exception 13(b) of ASX Listing Rule 7.2. Exception 13(b) of ASX Listing Rule 7.2 also ceases to be available if there is a material change to the terms of the employee incentive scheme from those set out in the notice of meeting seeking security holder approval to the employee incentive scheme for the purposes of that exception.
13
2025 Notice of Annual General Meeting
If Resolution 5 is approved by Security holders at the Meeting, the issue of Rights under the Executive Incentive Plan (up to the maximum number of equity securities specified in this Notice of Meeting) will be excluded from the calculation of the number of equity securities that the Board of Region RE can issue without Security holder approval under ASX Listing Rule 7.1 for a period of three years from the date that Resolution 5 is approved.
If Resolution 5 is not approved by Security holders at the Meeting, Region RE may still be able to proceed with the issue of Rights under the Executive Incentive Plan (to the extent that there is available ‘placement capacity’ under ASX Listing Rule 7.1), but any such issues will reduce, to the extent of the issue, the ‘placement capacity’ for the 12 month period following the issue.
Region RE must seek Security holder approval under ASX Listing Rule 10.14 in respect of issues of Rights under the Executive Incentive Plan to a Director (or their associates), or a person whose relationship with Region RE, the Region Group or a Director (or their associates), is, in ASX’s opinion, such that Security holder approval should be obtained. The proposed issue of Rights under the Executive Incentive Plan to the Chief Executive Officer of Region RE, Anthony Mellowes, is the subject of Resolutions 6 and 7. There are no other Directors and no other associates of Directors who are presently entitled to participate in the Executive Incentive Plan. Details of any securities issued under the Executive Incentive Plan will be published in each annual report of Region RE related to a period in which the securities have been issued and that approval for the issue of securities was obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14. Any additional persons who fall within ASX Listing Rule 10.14 who become entitled to participate in the Executive Incentive Plan after this Resolution 5 is approved and who are not named in this Notice of Meeting will not participate until approval is obtained under ASX Listing Rule 10.14, if required.
Directors’ recommendation: The Directors (other than Mr Mellowes) unanimously recommend that Security holders vote in favour of Resolution 5.
Resolution 6: Issue of Short Term Incentive Rights under the Executive Incentive Plan to the Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Mellowes
Resolution 6 seeks Security holder approval, for the purposes of all applicable requirements under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.14, for the grant to the Chief Executive Officer of Region RE, Anthony Mellowes, of a maximum of 185,422 STI Rights as part of a short term incentive award for FY25 under the Executive Incentive Plan which would entitle him on vesting to a maximum of 185,422 Stapled Securities together with an amount of Stapled Securities calculated by reference to the distributions announced by Region Group during the vesting period (see “Allocation of Stapled Securities” in the STI Rights summary in Annexure B for details).
Directors’ recommendation: The Directors (other than Mr Mellowes) unanimously recommend that Security holders vote in favour of Resolution 6.
Resolution 7: Issue of Long Term Incentive Rights under the Executive Incentive Plan to the Chief Executive Officer, Anthony Mellowes
Resolution 7 seeks Security holder approval, for the purposes of all applicable requirements under the Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rule 10.14, for the grant to the Chief Executive Officer of Region RE, Anthony Mellowes, of a maximum of 631,423 LTI Rights as part of a long term incentive award for FY26 under the Executive Incentive Plan which, upon vesting, would entitle him to a maximum of 631,423 Stapled Securities together with an additional amount of Stapled Securities calculated by reference to the distributions announced by Region Group during the vesting period (see “Allocation of Stapled Securities” in the LTI Rights summary in Annexure C for details).
Directors’ recommendation: The Directors (other than Mr Mellowes) unanimously recommend that Security holders vote in favour of Resolution 7.
14
2025 Notice of Annual General Meeting
Security holder approval of grant of Rights to Mr Mellowes (Resolutions 6 and 7)
Security holder approval was obtained in 2016 for the Executive Incentive Plan, with Security holder approval refreshed again in 2022. Since June 2016, the following Rights have been issued to Mr Mellowes under the Executive Incentive Plan:
| ANTHONY MELLOWES, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CEO | ANTHONY MELLOWES, EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND CEO |
|---|---|
| Rights Issued | |
| STI Rights | 1,132,266 |
| LTI Rights | 3,987,853 |
The grant of Rights to Mr Mellowes under the Executive Incentive Plan is conditional on Security holder approval. The Board strongly believes that an equitybased short and long-term incentive is an important component of executive remuneration to ensure alignment with Security holders’ interests. If Security holder approval is obtained, Region RE will be able to proceed with the issue of Rights to Mr Mellowes. If Security holder approval is not obtained in respect of any Rights, then the grant of those Rights will not be made under the Executive Incentive Plan. In that case, issues may arise with the competitiveness of the relevant Executive’s total remuneration package, both relative to the market as well as to other senior executives of Region Group. Accordingly, the Board may exercise its discretion under the Executive Incentive Plan to provide an equivalent cash incentive award, subject to substantially the same terms and conditions as outlined below in respect of the Rights.
Listing Rule 10.14 provides that a listed entity must not permit any of the following persons to acquire equity securities under an employee incentive scheme:
-
(10.14.1) a director of the entity, or of the responsible entity of the entity;
-
(10.14.2) an associate of the entity, or of the responsible entity of the entity; or
-
(10.14.3) a person whose relationship with the entity or a person referred to in ASX Listing Rule 10.14.1 or 10.14.2 is such that, in ASX’s opinion, the acquisition should be approved by its security holders, unless it obtains the approval of its security holders.
The proposed issue of the STI Rights (Resolution 6) and LTI Rights (Resolution 7) falls within Listing Rule 10.14.1 above and therefore requires approval of Security holders under Listing Rule 10.14. Resolutions 6 and 7 seek the required Secuirty holder approval to the issue of the STI Rights (Resolution 6) and LTI Rights (Resolution 7) under and for the purposes of Listing Rule 10.14.
See Annexures A, B and C for further details on Resolutions 5, 6 and 7 generally and, in particular, the information required pursuant to ASX Listing Rule 10.15.
Appointment of Auditor
Resolution 8: Approval of appointment of Auditor
Resolution 8 seeks Security holder approval for the change of auditor of Region Group on the Effective Date (as that term is defined below).
After a tender process, Region RE resolved to appoint KPMG as Region Group’s auditor. As a consequence, Region RE applied under section 331AC(1) of the Corporations Act for ASIC’s consent to remove Deloitte as the auditor of Region Group.
As at the date of this Notice of Meeting, ASIC has not provided its consent to the resignation of Deloitte as auditor of Region Group. Accordingly, the appointment of KPMG as auditor of Region Group will become effective on the later of the date of receipt of ASIC’s consent to the removal, the date fixed by ASIC and the date of the Meeting ( Effective Date ).
Under section 331AAB of the Corporations Act, Region RE has sole discretion to appoint an auditor if there is vacancy in the office of auditor. KPMG has given its written consent to act as the auditor of Region Group on and from the Effective Date.
While the vote on Resolution 8 is advisory only and does not bind the Board or Region RE, the Board will take the outcome of the vote into consideration in connection with the appointment of KPMG as Region Group’s auditor.
Directors’ recommendation: The Directors unanimously recommend that Security holders vote in favour of Resolution 8.
